  • Filed Under

Coming Thursday in Players, Dan Pietrafesa writes a column looking at the rich history of speedskating in Newburgh. Some of the world's top skaters came from Newburgh or came to Newburgh to compete. The National Speedskating Museum and Hall of Fame also called Newburgh home at one time and the first inductee into the Hall of Fame was from Newburgh.

Reel vs. Real: John Cusack as Edgar Allan Poe

Let's step away from the usual biographical films once more and draw our attention to a 2012 thriller film about a series of murders mirroring those in the stories by American author Edgar Allan Poe.

Movie Poster via Movie Maniac on Blogspot

When it comes to tales of terror and horror, the grotesque stories, poems, and novels of Edgar Allan Poe are certainly among the best. For his many works that tell of the mysterious and the macabre, the famed American author and poet remains an influential figure in popular culture, arts, music, television, and films. Among those that he inspired is a the 2012 thriller film The Raven, which starred John Cusack as the father of macabre literature.

The film borrows its title from a narrative poem of the same title by Edgar Allan Poe, first published in January 1845. Set in 1849 Maryland, the film explores the idea of Poe’s stories “inspiring” someone to commit a series of murders copied from the grisly tales. The policemen first find a murdered woman in her apartment, then a second corpse stuffed in the chimney. When Poe’s fiancée is kidnapped during her birthday party, the writer decides to work with seasoned detective to find out who the murderer is before it’s too late.

While the film’s plot is entirely fictional, the writers also weaved in some details of real situations from Edgar Allan Poe’s own mystery-shrouded death. For instance, the poet reportedly called out the name “Reynolds” repeatedly on the night before he passed away.

Watch the trailer for The Raven below:

All information for this article were sourced from The Raven (2012 film) on Wikipedia.

A series made for cinephiles, Reel vs. Real highlights some notable biographical films that you may or may not have watched, and puts the biopic actors side by side with their real life counterparts.

Print Event Details

The Role of Coaching in Transformational Learning

Speaker: Helen Caton Hughes
Type: Paid on the Door
Venue: The Abbey Centre, 34 Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3BU (Click venue address for map)
Date: 24 May 2012

The London Coaching Group is pleased to welcome all coaches and those interested in coaching to their monthly events. Networking starts at 6:15 pm, with the featured session commencing at 6:45pm. The cost including refreshments is £10:00 and booking in advance is essential to reserve your place.

The Role of Coaching in Transformational Learning

There's a lot of talk about 'transformation' - often when organizations go through major change - hoping to achieve more with less, doing it faster and cheaper.

What do we mean when we say that coaching is transformational? How can we support our clients to experience transformational learning? How do we both manage unrealistic expectations AND enable clients to experience transformational learning for themselves?

This interactive session will explore these questions, explore what coaches already know and do well, and explore the inspirational dimensions of transformation, as well as the practical.

During the session you will:

1. Explore and define 'transformational learning' in a coaching context

2. Understand what it takes to coach for transformational learning

3. Reflect on the benefits to individuals of 'transformational learning'

Helen is the CEO of The Forton Group, an ICF-Accredited coach-training organization operating globally. She is a Professional Leadership Coach, with the ICF's 'PCC' credential. She trains coaches and coach-trainers, and is a leadership coach for the top talent in the NHS black and ethnic leadership development programme 'Breaking Through'.

Wayne Pate — aka Good Shape Design — is pretty inspirational. He worked his way up from a freelance designer, to having his own label, and starting Good Shape Design, to selling both his own work and the work of others; the most notable being Cody Hudson. He sells prints, homewares and artwork which are beautifully framed and presented.

In Amy Casey’s imaginative world, cities are creatures, constantly shifting and growing. Inspired by the post-industrial landscape of Cleveland, which is beset by decay and vacancy, she has made it her task as an artist to imagine a new empire that will rise out of the rubble. Her paintings combine nature and cities in amazing detail.

I strongly encourage you to look through her older paintings, as her world has improved over the years. It used to be on brink of collapse.

Only in China. No, wait, only in Shanghai would you find a Marriage Market at People’s Park, which operates every weekend and attracts, literally, hundreds of people all in the united quest of finding the perfect match for their child, their sibling, or occasionally, themselves. So how does it work? Simple. Parents post basic bios of their unwed children on the fences. Interested parties peruse the bios and make their selections. And the rest is in the hands of fate.

Pelham Town Administrator Tom Gaydos has been placed on administrative leave.Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our Smugmug site.
Pelham Town Administrator Tom Gaydos has been placed on administrative leave.

Sun staff photos can be ordered by visiting our Smugmug site.

PELHAM -- Meeting in emergency session behind closed doors on Jan. 9, selectmen placed 14-year Town Administrator Tom Gaydos on administrative leave, Chairman Ed Gleason confirmed Friday.

The board appointed Police Chief Joseph Roark as acting town administrator until further notice, Gleason said.

"Town administrator on administrative leave. All Issues normally directed to the administrator will be directed to Joseph Roark," stated a single line atop the agenda for the Board of Selectmen's next meeting on Tuesday.

The agenda entry represented the board's first public disclosure of Gaydos' status, and that Roark is now wearing two hats.

"Chief Roark was appointed acting administrator because he is the most senior department manager in town," said Gleason. "The chief also has a highly qualified and experienced staff in the Police Department, including Lt. Gary Fisher, or Lt. Brian McCarthy, who are quite capable of stepping forward to help out."

Officials did not disclose why Gaydos was placed on leave, or whether the leave is paid.

The Sun's attempts to reach Gaydos for a comment by email and by phone at his last known address in Manchester, N.H., were unsuccessful. An email sent to his Town Hall office Friday evening bounced back immediately, containing the message: "I will be out of the office on personal leave. I will not be checking e-mail. For immediate attention, please contact Marie, at or at 603-508-3074.

The phone number given is for the selectmen's administrative assistant, Marie Maruca.

Vice Chairman William McDevitt echoed Gleason's comments on Friday night, saying that Gaydos is on administrative leave and that Roark is filling in temporarily.

"That's all I can give you," McDevitt said. "I'm not going to be much help."

McDevitt said he was unable to comment on whether Gaydos' leave is paid or unpaid.

Gaydos, 56, was hired as town administrator in July 2002, having worked previously for many years in Ashland, N.H., and Ossipee, N.H. Gaydos is a native of Middlebury, Vt., and graduate of Bentley College where he majored in accounting and public administration.

Most recently, Gaydos worked closely with Fire Chief James Midgley and the architect and builders of the town's new $3.9 million fire station, which opened last April on the Village Green. Gaydos was also consulting frequently with New Hampshire Department of Transportation officials to provide selectmen with regular updates on the state's dual roundabouts construction project on Marsh Road.

The most turbulent time in Gaydos' Pelham tenure surrounded his Jan. 21, 2010, arrest on two charges of simple assault following a domestic incident at his home in Manchester that involved a 50-year-old woman who lived at the same address. The woman claimed Gaydos had kicked her in the chest, screamed at her, prevented her from leaving the bedroom, took her cellphone, and pushed her twice, Manchester police Lt. Peter Bartlett reported.

Following Gaydos' arrest, then-Selectmen Chairman Bob Haverty, speaking on behalf of the board, noted the allegations against the town administrator were "not job-related, and do not involve the town or other town personnel," Haverty wrote.

At the time, several Pelham Message Board posters expressed their approval of the selectmen's decision to view Gaydos' domestic difficulties as separate from his professional duties and to allow him to continue on with his duties.

"Mr. Gaydos has worked for us for awhile now. He has a difficult job, and I think he does it well," posted resident Michael Grant in January 2010. "I support Mr. Gaydos."

Cohort/School Partnerships

Since 1991, Loyola has offered a cohort program that affords area school districts an opportunity to give their teachers an efficient and cost-effective route to graduate degrees and professional development, following curricula customized for the school systems’ specific needs.

Students enrolling in our courses through the cohort program take their classes together, an approach which encourages learning and discussion focused on their school system and the unique opportunities, challenges, and dynamics affecting their work place.

All classes are taught by experienced faculty committed to preparing engaged, versatile educators. Students in Loyola’s cohort partnership program also enjoy small classes, reduced tuition, and minimal fees.

Courses are offered at times convenient for full-time teachers and can be scheduled to meet the needs of other school system personnel. Cohort program partnerships are established between Loyola and specific school systems; participating students enroll individually.

In case you didn't know, MTV is coming out with a new Spider-Man series. It looks really cool, and shows guys like the Lizard, Kingpin, and hopefully maybe venom and carnage!

The theme song gets two thumbs up. It is now firmly stuck in my head.

Anyways, it premieres tomorrow at 10 o' clock in the East, not sure about the west.

View Full Version : Karaoke Revolution Video Game

01-16-2007, 06:09 PM
I'm curious if you guys have heard or played the new video game for the PS2 called Karaoke Revolution American Idol?
I like how the game inspired me to sing better by moving to the next round, especially with the three judges judging how good or bad I am within singing a song.

What do you guys think of the game, if you have played it?

Can you shoot Simon in his dome-piece? If so, I would rent it. Actually I would proabably want to end up shooting pretty much everyone involved with that show. Make it like a really sweet fps. That sounds a little creepy looking back at that now, but I'm going to run with it. Freedom of speech. Chicken Patties.

I have that game and my whole family plays it on multiplayer it's pretty much the same i haven't played the "idol mode" or whatever it's called yet, but i will.

01-22-2007, 01:50 PM
I've played the game every other day, and I think it's funny to see how they judge my singing abilities. I'd rather laugh at the things Simon says than anything else.
But I just like singing some of the songs within the choice of songs they have for me. It's fun once I know some of the songs really well, and blow Simon's mind away.

Firefox for me. Once I started using Firefox there was no going back for me. The tabbed browsing is awesome, a must have for people like me that like viewing multiple pages - have the presets the way I want them, so when I open the tabs they automatically goto my favorite site, absolutely wonderful. IE is so archaic and the code so shotty I'm suprised Microsoft even allows such a horrific product to be available to so many people.

So a Black Hole comms dilemma.

As I have 3 50's now my first and main toon has 2 63 barrels and all 61 mods and enhancements. I can't really do anything more to him except the 63 stuff and maybe the Dreadguard earpiece and implants.

As I have nowhere near enough bh comms for those should I save my comms for 2.0 and let them be exchanged or use them and send the mods and stuff to my other 2 lvl 50's who have some 61's but mostly 56's?

And so far the Agent story has been the best in my opinion. Lots of twists and turns in it.

Feel Free To Disagree.....Most People Do Anyways

Hrm, it seems to load okay for me in Mozilla.  However, it has a Flash
animation at the upper left (I have the Flash blocker add-on installed).

Let's click it... it disappeared.  And now my computer is playing loud
Ladysmith Black Mambazo music on top of the Drum-n-Base I'm listening to.
Bad mix. :^)  (Apparently no way to stop the music w/o closing the window
or going to a different page. >:^( )

I'm guessing your Flash plugin died.  (It's pretty common.  It's a pretty
crappy chunk of code... at least their Linux port.  There's also apparently
some namespace clash between Flash and Qt, which can make it even less happy
under Konqueror.)

This kind of instability is one of the many reasons I don't like Flash.
(It's good for cartoons and games, but really... that's it.
Stick to HTML and CSS for navigation, damnit!)

Anyway, try installing the Flash blocker add-on for Mozilla/Firefox and
you should have a stabler, quieter, less seizure-inducing web experience.
(And just click the 'play' button placeholder to activate those embedded
Flash bits that you wish to see on a page.)

    An adorable story about a spunky third grade girl. It's both funny and touching. Kids (and adults) will enjoy reading about Muriel and her adventures. It's also a wonderful read-aloud book. It would make a great birthday or holiday gift.

    Muriel Robbin's Fact Book is a delightful reading experience in every way. It is like William Goldman's Princess Bride for kids - I laughed out loud many times, calling my family members over to hear snippets, and I choked up at the ending because it was so perfect, heartwarming, and satisfying. Muriel and her brother Gibs are both characters I will never forget. This book is fresh, quirky, and whimsical, and the story gives the reader a rollicking good time. It has a great message about the power of community and the wonderful gift of literacy. It would made an excellent read-aloud even for children perfectly capable of reading it themselves because then the laughs and excitement could be shared. I highly recommend this book!

Good manners enhance brand, improve employee morale

We are a “high tech society,” and that means there is an increased need for a sensitive human touch in business.

John Naisbitt, author of “Megatrends,” reminds us of this in his book. Business manners are essential to build relationships in today’s business world. People, who present themselves very favorably, will maximize their business potential.

I am very passionate about business manners and believe very strongly in the results that follow the use of good business manners.

In particular, manners during business meetings are crucial – as the potential for negative impacts is considerable. Improve your business meeting etiquette and you will witness positive results in such forms as attentiveness, comfort, clear communications and trust.

Let’s look at a few tips to ensure good business manners at your meetings, both informal and formal meetings.

For informal meetings:

• The person calling the meeting should be the most senior or the person with the most direct or urgent need in the topical area.

• The meeting chairperson decides the time, place and agenda. The agenda and details should be confirmed with attendees in advance.

• The person chairing the meeting must clearly state to all attendees the purpose of the meeting, the planned length of the meeting and what the expected outcomes will be.

• The chairperson must always start meetings on time and always respect the value of everyone’s time.

• The chairperson must keep the meeting on the agenda.

• The chair must pre-appoint someone to record minutes of the meeting so major decisions and action points are recorded accurately.

• The chairperson must inform those not at the meeting of any results of the meeting that will affect them.

For formal meetings:

• Be prepared for the meeting. Review materials received prior to the meeting.

• Dress appropriately and arrive before the start of the meeting.

• Turn off all mobile phones and other personal electronic devices.

• If appropriate, an agenda item should include attendees introducing themselves.

• Do not interrupt anyone while they are speaking, even if you disagree strongly. Wait until the proper time and be acknowledged by the chairperson to speak.

• Sit in an assigned seat if that is the custom. If you are unsure about seating arrangements, ask.

• Be clear and concise when speaking and be sure what you are saying is relevant to the topic being discussed.

• Honor all requested confidences relative to the meeting.

Never underestimate the value of good business manners.

Good manners are cost effective. They improve the quality of life in the workplace, enhance the company brand, improve employee morale and play a role in the profitability of the company.

Conversely, bad manners carry a high negative cost which may include the loss of a person’s promotion or job and/or the loss of clients and customers and their goodwill.

2014 LWB Cleft Exchange – Wednesday

When our team arrived to the hospital on Wednesday morning, it was time to say goodbye to several of our young patients.

Ted, Robert Owen, and Paul were the first to be discharged.  Our team is going to miss them so much!  Their repairs look beautiful, and Dr. Ness’s mom had made little hats which we put on them before they left for the train station.  Our warmest thoughts go with them as they travel back. Read more.

Emergency Medical Fund

1kgpreemieOver the last eleven years, more and more orphanages have trusted us and depended on us to help their children born with medical needs.  In these cases, we first gather all of the important information about the child, have our medical advisors review their chart, and then we present their case on our website and advocate for funding. Once a child’s surgery is funded, we immediately make arrangements for them to move to the appropriate hospital.

However, some babies arrive into this world with conditions that cannot wait to be funded.  Children born with anal atresia, for example, often will pass away if they do not receive surgery within 48 hours of being found. Read more.

Stable in the ICU

Yesterday we told you about two babies from our healing homes who were having surgery on the same day for complex heart defects.  We are so happy to report that both Chandler and Dominic came through their operations beautifully. Both children received BT shunt surgery, which is used to increase pulmonary blood flow.  This is often called the “first stage” surgery, and so both children will need an additional operation in the future.

Heart Surgery Day

chandlerLove Without Boundaries of course began after we met one tiny baby in China who needed heart surgery, and for the last ten years we have continued helping children born with congenital heart disease.  We wanted to let you know that two of the babies from our Healing Homes program are having surgery on Wednesday in China.  We sure would appreciate every good thought for these two beautiful children.

Chandler came into our hands as a tiny infant, with a diagnosis of pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus.  That is a mouthful for one little baby girl, isn’t it?   She got stronger and stronger at the Anhui Healing Home.  We are so grateful to all of the wonderful people who stepped forward to fund her operation.  She was admitted to the hospital last week, but then her surgery was postponed when the head of cardiac surgery was called out of town.  We decided to wait until he returned, and now Chandler is scheduled for Wednesday morning.

Taking a Leap for Yue

Eight-year-old Yue lives with her parents in a mountainous area of Shaanxi province.  She was born with PFO, or patent foramen ovale, a heart condition, and her family is very poor and cannot afford her medical care.

Yue 1

Her mother heard about LWB’s Unity Fund, which provides assistance to impoverished families, at the local civic affairs office.  So Yue’s mother and father gathered their daughter and began the journey to a hospital where they knew LWB works. Read more

Jana: LWB’s Featured Child of the Week

Sweet Jana was born with aortic valve stenosis, which makes her little heart work harder and will eventually weaken her heart muscle. She also has patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), a persistent opening between two major blood vessels leading from the heart. Jana frequently becomes ill and often needs to be hospitalized for treatment. She needs surgery as soon as possible to have the best chance at a full recovery. Jana Read more

Darling Dominic

Look at sweet baby Dominic.  Dominic has been in the care of our Starbridge Healing Home for one month now and we are very concerned about him.  He is 3 months old and has a serious heart defect, causing him to struggle to get enough oxygen into his little body.  This gives his skin a bluish appearance and has us very worried.

Day Five of the 2012 Cleft Exchange – Final Surgery Day

Friday was a wonderful and exhausting day in Kaifeng as the LWB 2012 cleft trip entered its final day.

Baby Theo waiting for his turn

Ten surgeries were completed today, which brought the total number of children healed to 49. One baby had to be disqualified from surgery this morning due to infection, but we all agree that 49 lives changed is a wonderful accomplishment in just five days of surgery. Both the US medical team and the China medical team feel that the trip was a complete success, and they are already talking about when they can get together again in the future to help more children in need.

Journey to Guizhou – Day Four (Liupanshui)

We took a three hour train from Guiyang, through the rural countryside of Guizhou to get to our next destination of Liupanshui. The passing scenery was beautiful, with crop terraces all up the mountains. Whereas the eastern side of Guizhou has many homes made of wood, the western side has white stone and concrete houses, but still with the traditional Chinese style curved tile roofs.

Apocalypse Secrets: Baha'i Interpretation of the Book of Revelation by John Able MD

Apocalypse Secrets: Baha'i Interpretation of the Book of Revelation by Dr John Able 2009 is a fresh provocative Parallel Interpretation of the Apocalypse (Book of Revelation) containing 60 illustrations. The author is a retired intensive-care physician. Using Baha'i sources, Able decodes the Book of Revelation as a multi-millennial pre-history of seven Empires and seven Faiths emerging out of the Middle East, leading into the events now crescendoing fast and furious across the planet. He argues cogently that these Empires and Faiths and their materialism and militarism have caused the mess that the world is in. Today these events center on the apocalyptic war waging between the Revelation beast of Muslim Militarism that drives the Middle East and the Revelation Babylon of Malignant Materialism that drives the Christian West. The fall of the Babylon of Malignant Materialism is inevitable. Now economic crises are spiraling the globe into a paralytic depression. The good news is that spiritual economics will fix the mess and will turn these painful end times into wonderful beginning times. Able's Apocalypse Secrets is a profound and astonishing work in biblical exegesis-a real tour de force as a strikingly original, scholarly, remarkably holistic, comprehensive, and rationally consistent interpretation of the Book of Revelation. This book intelligently probes and penetrates many of the great religious mysteries, arguing that Revelation extends far beyond its strictly Middle East Christic origin. It transcends religious dogma, bridges religious faiths, and explains nineteen hundred years of troubled events in Christianity and Islam with amazing clarity and prescience. It is amazingly detailed and thorough. The author's stylish rhetoric is colorful and alive and his book beautifully crafted and researched, making for an engaging, enlightening, and thought-provoking read. At the end a scholarly Translation Section decodes original Greek and Hebrew sources. Able's strikingly lively translation sticks to the intention of the Greek original. It provides an authoritative base for his distinctive Parallel Interpretation. For anyone striving to penetrate the hidden secrets of the Apocalypse, Beyond Malignant Materialism is must reading. This exceedingly interesting book will influence many future works about the subject and become a template of understanding and peace for all. After reading it, people who are interested in prophecy will never look at the Book of Revelation the same again. Apocalypse Secrets is available as a color softcover version, an ebook version, a color hardcover version, and a black and white softcover version. To order visit http://www.

Be Thou My Vision
by Michael Card

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Not be all else to me save that Thou art
Thou my best thought by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light

Be Thou my wisdom and Thou my true worth
I ever with thee and Thou with me Lord
Thou my Great Father, I thy true son
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one

Riches i heed not, nor man's empty gain
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only first in my heart
High King of heaven, Thy treasure Thou art

High King of heaven, my victory won
May I reach heaven's joys, O bright heaven Son
Heart of my own heart, whatever may fall
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all

This World Lyrics

Artist: Funker Vogt
Album: Survivor

For centuries and centuries
I walked along their battlefields
Rotten flesh and burned soil
Is all what they have left

A strange desire for destruction
Can be felt at all these places
An awful waste of resources
All for their killing machinery

A world all made of battlefields
A world all drowned in blood
A world which will not last forever
Is all that we have got

A world all made of battlefields
A world all built for wars
And now we take the battlefields
Far out to the stars

They get better year by year
With a frightening efficiency
Killing thousands in one strike
By pushing just one button

So I have been everywhere
From the jungle to the mountain
And even in the deepest sea
I saw the signs of a past war

Jason Upton – Face Of Time lyrics

I can remember when I was afraid like you
Not so long ago
Confusion ruled my life wondering what to do
Not so long ago

These are resting waves from a memory
In a hiding place in my mind
But the sweetest taste is a history
When suffering wears the face of time

The pain hurt way too much the water was so cold
Not so long ago
That's when light rescued me from darkness I was free
Not so long ago

In the place of suffering
There's a God worth worshipping
On these wings of worship we will ride

Julia Nunes – He Is Mad lyrics

He is mad
She is also mad
He has had it up to here
With her sarcasm
Oh listen, Dear

If I told you once
Then I told you twice
You knew what you were doing
No, I've never been that nice
If you're surprised
It's your own fault

She walks away
He is calling her name
Aw baby I have come to learn
You'll never take the blame
'Cause I am always wrong
You're always right
Does that end the fight?

And she stares at him
And the words come to a halt

Mountain Brothers – Paper Chase lyrics

[Chorus: repeat 2X]
It's all about the m-o-n-ey
Why must everything revolve around the penny?
I walk upon the streets without a penny
Tryin' to keep a steady pace - "I'm on a paperchase!"

Nowadays, I see many count the ways
To how it pays to shout a phrase on a chorus and bore us
Without amazin' rhymes, in these disgrace in times
Lemme state my case about the paperchase
I know it's hard tryin' to escape the pace
Of the fast lane situated in a gold-plated camry, lex, or benz
But what about some perk-related family checks for friends
The fall of hip hop it's gonna be
Fucking ceo's don't see my flow as a business opportunity
How soon we forget what it means to be original
Seems to me they feen to see residuals
I reckon smash flows gettin' payed for half-assed shows
Most are too concerned about collecting cash flows
You get burned on down but they see dash hoes on your set
Well, all I need is food on the table
Those that got my back despite the fact, dude, from the label
Means I'm financially able, we still maintain hip hop and keep it stable

You gotsa know your friends and enemies and those who just pretend to be
The ones who go "remember me?", what good old days, memories
We never had together, friends and fair weather, yea whatever
You used to have no time for us, and now you wanna rhyme with us
Come on and spend a dime with us, and check some sisters
Nothin' but lovin' on your mind, and come and find it was just tricks
They rob and leech tryin' livin' life somethin' rich and famous, you're making me sick
Because you're shameless, plus you see me like pomegranates
You seen it and said I'm a habit. Nowhere to be found when we was underground
Strugglin', but now you come around all of a sudden, checkin' wallets for dollars, you bug me
I give promise to those who knew us when we was nothing 'cuz that's the truth
Form of support that was pure, we had yours from the doorground floor
And evaded the rhymes and finally made it, you wasn't fishy, never gonna be unappreciated

It's true that gold rules the whole globe, diamond no close
Well, there were art of inlays with gold fixtures
'til I remain a bitch to the dollar. Admit it
Insulate it with the Philly caps the facts that's good cash
But the fact remains material gains can't steer the clever pains
This lifestyle musta formed a nice while
But i'll state the grass was kinda greener in a leaner pasture
I wouldn't give up livin' with hip hop for love was much cleaner
It's a fine line tryin' to get some money plus represent for me
What to choose what imitation is against the paycheck
Rockin' dashin' fashions and stashin' cash hits, but what is this
Am I a business man or just a heavy spendage?
I got ten times the ends but only half the real friends
Lying in plus settin' bettin' one thousand would break houses
But what counts is I tol' all my soul I'm just a slave to chasin' of the paper

Recent Trends in Cryptography

American Mathematical Society
Number of Pages:

In July of 2005, a summer school organized by the Real Sociedad Matematica Espanola was held at the Universidad Internacional Menendez Pelayo on "Recent Trends in Cryptography" with the goal of giving the attendees an introduction to some of the new ways that mathematics is used by cryptographers and cryptanalysts. The school consisted of four short courses and a handful of lectures on a variety of topics related to stream ciphers and public-key cryptography. Notes from some of these courses and talks have been compiled and published in a new volume in the American Mathematical Society's Contemporary Mathematics series. While the five papers collected vary quite a bit in terms of the background they assume and the quality of their exposition, they all serve as good introductions to the topics at hand.

Two of the articles deal with stream ciphers, which are symmetric methods of encryption in which the plaintext is combined (typically with an xor relation) with a pseudorandom sequence which are traditionally generated by using a linear feedback shift-registers (LFSRs). The first of these two articles, Amparo Fuster-Sabater on "Cellular Automata in Stream Ciphers," discusses how cellular automata can be used to reproduce the outputs of various LFSRs, such as clock-controlled shrinking generators. The next article is "Linear and Nonlinear sequences and Applications to Stream Ciphers" by Tor Helleseth, and in this paper Helleseth gives an introduction to stream ciphers LFSRs in terms of what they are and how they can be used. This highlights one of my few complaints with the volume — the articles are published in alphabetical order by author and not necessarily in the order which one would want to read them to get the most out of them. In fact, I struggled through Fuster-Sabater's article only to find some things much easier to understand after I read the paper by Helleseth.

These articles are followed by "An Introduction to Pairing-Based Cryptography" by Alfred Menezes, in which the author begins by introducing the very notion of bilinear pairings. He then discusses some of the exciting ways that they can be used in cryptography both for variations on the standard Diffie-Hellman problem and for Identity-Based Encryption, an idea which has taken off in cryptographic circles in recent years. After a whirlwind introduction to some results about elliptic curves, Menezes then goes on to discuss the Tate Pairing on elliptic curves, and how it can be used to realize some of the formal constructions discussed in the earlier sections, as well as what conditions one might find desirable (or not) when choosing elliptic curves to use in implementations.

An article by Phong Nguyen entitled "Public-Key Cryptanalysis" is almost as ambitious as the title sounds, as the author gives very quick summaries of the very idea of public key encryption as well as a number of actual cryptosystems (RSA, Elgamal, Knapsack, etc) and some elementary attacks on them. The later sections of this article discuss more sophisticated attacks including a family of attacks Nguyen calls 'Square Root attacks' such as Pollard's Rho Method and Baby-Step/Giant-Step. There is also significant room dedicated to lattices and their properties, including how they can be used to help with factoring and attacking various cryptosystems. A final article in the volume is by Igor Shparlinski and deals with using elliptic curves to generate pseudorandom numbers.

As one would expect from articles based on summer school courses, the articles tend to emphasize readability over detail. Most of the authors are ambitious in the scope of their articles but give overviews rather than the full stories and often the authors only sketch proofs or omit proofs of the theorems entirely. On the flip side, the bibliographies of all of the articles are quite extensive and the authors give plenty of guidance if you are left wanting to learn more. While you will not become an expert in any of the fields after reading these articles, you will get a good sense of some of the modern approaches used in cryptography, and I imagine many readers will have their interest piqued. And for a graduate student or researcher interested in learning about recent trends in cryptography, this book gives as good a starting point as I have seen.

Project Mathematics

Karen Michalowicz, reviewer

Project Mathematics! Early History of Mathematics, Tom M. Apostol , 2000. Workbook: 30pp., paper $4.95; Videotape $29.95, Project Mathematics! California Institute of Technology, 1200 East California Blvd., Pasadena , CA 91125, (800) 514-BOOK, www.

Project Mathematics! Early History of Mathematics is the tenth in the Project Mathematics! Videotape Modules Series. The videotape is 30 minutes long and is accompanied by a Program Guide and Workbook. The presentation covers some of the early history of mathematics from 5000 BCE to the seventeenth century CE.

I used the videotape with my students after reading a complimentary review (Mathematics Teacher, Feb., 2000). I had high expectations. However, I did not share the other reviewer’s enthusiasm for the videotape.   I first previewed the entire program. Then with the careful planning as recommended in the review, I used the videotape with my high school geometry classes and in a graduate mathematics methods class. For years I have employed various videotapes in my teaching. I have found that rather than expending valuable teaching time for showing the whole tape, I show selected snippets from it. Thus, I can highlight a particular concept or topic. My students found the portion of what I showed them on the Early History of Mathematics  to be interesting. In particular, the computer enhancements used to demonstrate the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem were worth while and highly recommended. However, all my student viewers found the background music-track to be distracting. My adolescent honors geometry students began to play “Guess the Tune” during the playing.

As a teacher, I believe there is a need for good history of mathematics videotapes. The videotapes produced by the London Open University are excellent but not readily available to many of us. The Early History of Mathematics videotape does not measure up to these. In my opinion, the videotape covers a broad period of mathematics history too superficially. Thus, important events are not even mentioned. For example, when the videotape briefly addressed algebra, it did not refer to Diophantus (although he is mentioned in the Program Guide), nor Hypatia, or even Al- Khwarizmi. Rather, Omar Khayyam was the only mathematician mentioned. At least, if there were a brief mention of these three, the videotape would have included two men to whom the title of “Father of Algebra” has been bestowed and a woman. The tape is devoid of any female contributions to the history of mathematics. Further, there were a few historical inaccuracies, for example, when our number system was described as “originating from the Arabs”; however, later in the tape it was referred to as the “Hindu-Arabic Numbers”.

In my opinion, the strength of the videotape was not in the history it presents, but in its computer animations. It can be a useful tool to the teacher if the teacher is knowledgeable about the mathematics history, and does very careful planning.  I leave it to the viewer to decide how worthwhile it is in the classroom.

Nebraska program gives kids taste of farm life

A program in Nebraska gave kids a closer look at life on the farm.
A program in Nebraska gave kids a closer look at life on the farm.
One way to ensure the growth of rural areas is to make sure young people have the proper education regarding farms and agricultural equipment.

According to Nebraska's Fremont Tribune, hundreds of third-grade students attended a program put on by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Extension, which was held at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Arlington.

"Students learned about various facets of modern farm life such as the use of Global Positioning Systems and modern farming equipment like the massive John Deere sprayer that most children could walk under without bending over," the paper said.

Programs like A Day on the Farm appear across the country through the efforts of extension offices and 4-H clubs. Furthermore, the U.S. Department of Agriculture offers a loan program that gives young people access to funds that they can use for agricultural projects.

The USDA has noted that providing opportunities for younger people is a key part of maintaining economies in rural areas. A recent report from the department noted that young people are moving away from remote counties because of the lack of economic opportunity.ADNFCR-2034-ID-19755210-ADNFCR

Making your decision

It’s important to feel happy about your decision to have breast reconstruction. Discussing the different options available can help. You can talk these through with your surgeon, breast care nurse, or any family or friends you want to involve.

Make sure you have realistic expectations. Breast reconstruction doesn’t result in a ‘perfect’ breast, but there can be many benefits. It may restore your confidence, make your appearance similar to before your mastectomy, and mean you don’t have to wear external breast prostheses. At the same time, you will need several visits to the hospital and are unlikely to have any sensation in your new breast. Consider the benefits and limitations of surgery carefully.

You’ll also need to think about timing. Immediate reconstruction often leaves fewer scars, but delayed reconstruction allows you more time to think things over. Remember, there is no upper time limit for having breast reconstruction. It’s always available – even years after your mastectomy. Your decision will depend on your individual situation. And you’re the best person to know what feels right for you.

Thinking about breast reconstruction

Deciding whether to have breast reconstruction or when to have it will depend on your individual situation. You’re the best person to know what feels right for you.

It’s important you feel happy with your decision – you can discuss it with your surgeon, breast care nurse, any family or friends you want to involve or a support organisation.

You are entitled to free breast reconstruction on the NHS. There are many options for breast reconstruction available.

It’s important that you have the chance to discuss your options for breast reconstruction before your mastectomy. You don’t have to make a definite decision about it at this stage, but it will help the surgeon to plan your initial surgery.

Women have breast reconstruction for different reasons. You may choose it so that you won’t need to wear a false breast (breastprosthesis/form), or you may feel that breast reconstruction will help you to feel more confident or feminine. Or, you may decide that you feel comfortable wearing a breast prosthesis and that you don’t want to go through the additional surgery and recovery that breast reconstruction involves.

Some women who have treatment for breast cancer plan to have reconstructive surgery after their treatment but then change their minds. They find that the loss of a breast doesn’t trouble them as much they thought it would.

Sometimes women decide years after breast cancer surgery that they feel ready to have reconstruction.

If you decide to have it done you will need to think about the timing of the surgery. It may be possible to have it at the same time as your mastectomy so that you will have a breast shape immediately after the operation. Other factors may also affect your decisions about reconstruction, such as your general health, your relationships, commitments and priorities.

It’s important to have realistic expectations about the possible results of breast reconstruction. It can’t give you a perfect breast. A reconstructed breast won’t have as much sensation and may not ‘move’ as well as your natural breast did.

If you’re only having one breast reconstructed after cancer treatment, your surgeon will aim to make the new breast as good a match as possible to your other breast. But there may be differences in the size, shape or position of the two breasts. In general most women are pleased with the results of their surgery, but some women are disappointed.

Breast reconstruction usually involves having two or more operations over a period of 6–12 months to get the best appearance for your new breast(s). If you’re having breast reconstruction following cancer treatment, it doesn’t increase the chance of the cancer coming back. And it doesn’t interfere with your doctors’ ability to detect the cancer if it comes back in the breast area.

It may be helpful to think about the possible benefits and limitations of breast reconstruction before making your decision.

Benefits of breast reconstruction

  • In clothes (including underwear and swimwear) your appearance will be similar to before the surgery.
  • You won’t have to wear external breast prostheses or a special bra.
  • You will have a cleavage and be able to wear clothes with a low neckline.
  • It can help to restore your self-confidence and feelings of femininity, attractiveness and sexuality.

Limitations of breast reconstruction

  • You will spend more time in hospital and your recovery will take longer.
  • Most women need several visits to the hospital and further minor operations to get the best cosmetic results.
  • As with all operations, problems may occur.
  • You are unlikely to have much sensation in the new breast(s).
  • You may have scars elsewhere on your body (depending on the type of reconstruction).
  • You may not be pleased with the result.
  • If you’re having one breast reconstructed, you may need to have an operation on your other breast to reduce or increase its size, or to lift it so that both breasts are even.

Deciding when to have it

Reconstruction can be done at the same time as a mastectomy, or some time later.

Immediate reconstruction

An immediate reconstruction is done at the same time as the mastectomy. With this operation it is often possible for the surgeon to leave most of the breast skin when removing the breast tissue. The surgeon removes the nipple and areola and just a small circle of skin around it (skin-sparing mastectomy). This gives a more natural looking reconstructed breast with less scarring than delayed reconstruction, where all the spare skin is removed during the mastectomy. Sometimes it is possible to preserve the nipple too (nipple-sparing mastectomy).

  • Often gives a better appearance than delayed reconstruction.
  • Less scarring than delayed reconstruction.
  • You won’t have any time without a breast shape.

  • If you have radiotherapy to your breast after reconstruction, it may affect the appearance of the reconstructed breast. If your doctors think you may need radiotherapy, they may suggest delayed breast reconstruction.
  • Immediate reconstruction involves a longer operation and recovery time.
  • Other treatments needed after your surgery (such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy) could be delayed if your recovery takes longer due to problems, such as infection. But, this is not common.
  • You may have to wait longer to have your mastectomy if two teams of surgeons are involved.

Delayed reconstruction

Delayed breast reconstruction can be done after you have fully recovered from the mastectomy. If you’re having cancer treatment, delayed breast reconstruction will be done after you’ve recovered from treatments, such as chemotherapy. After radiotherapy there is usually a delay of about 6–12 months before reconstructive surgery is done. This allows the skin over the chest to recover. There is no upper time limit for having breast reconstruction. Some women choose to have it done many years after a mastectomy.

  • Breast reconstruction is always available – even years after your original surgery.
  • Having your surgery in stages means a shorter recovery after each procedure.

If you’re having breast cancer treatment, delayed reconstruction means that:

  • There is no risk of reconstructive surgery causing delays to cancer treatments.
  • You have more time to think over whether reconstruction is right for you.
  • You can deal with your cancer treatment first, and then think about reconstruction surgery.

  • You will have more scars.
  • You will be without a breast shape for a period of time.
  • The result may not be as good as with an immediate reconstruction.
  • You will need at least one additional operation and an anaesthetic.
  • You will go back to being a ‘patient’ for a while.

Back to Having breast reconstruction

What is breast reconstruction?

If you have had or are about to have breast reconstruction, we have information about what to expect.

Your feelings

Breast reconstruction surgery can cause many different emotions. It can take time to adjust to your new breast(s).

Talking to your surgeon

Your reconstruction surgeon will explain what types of operation can be done and answer any questions you have.

Potential problems with breast reconstruction

If you have any problems after breast reconstruction surgery, contact your breast care nurse or surgeon for advice.

What happens after breast reconstructive surgery?

Before going home you’ll be told how to look after your breast(s) and wounds. Contact the hospital if you’ve any concerns.

Dr. Mac: Rants & Raves

Saving Time, Saving Money
December 19th, 2003
Episode #8

I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how to save time using my Mac. Whenever I have to perform a task more than a few times I start looking for ways to do it faster, or to automate it completely.

I love stuff like QuicKeys' Shortcuts, Photoshop's macro-like Actions, Microsoft Word's customizable menus and toolbars (and macros, though they're pretty messy), and I have spent countless hours diddling with all of ‘em.

This week I'd like to share a few of my favorite time saving techniques starting with one that, assuming you are a Panther user, won't cost you a penny and will almost certainly save you some time and effort.

The Drag and Drop Exposé

This first technique combines good old drag and drop with Panther's fantastic new Exposé. It goes like this (in words and pictures):

So there I was, slaving away at this column when I realized I wanted to include a clipping about this technique I grabbed on MacInTouch, containing information I want to include in this column. But, being Dr. Mac, with my whopping 1.5GB of RAM and 6 big disks, I've got 16 apps running… and 40 or 50 windows on my screen.

Figure 1

Figure 1: From left to right: Finder, MacReporter, LaunchBar, CopyPaste, URL Manager Pro, QuicKeys, Retrospect, Spell Catcher, iTunes, Word, Software Update, Safari, Address Book, Mail, StickyBrain, System Preferences, Photoshop CS, Trash.

So dragging a clipping from a Finder window to this Word document, in the old days before Exposé, would require at least a small bit of window-rearrangement. But now, with Panther's Exposé feature, it's ever so much faster and easier.

First, I press F11, which is the Exposé keyboard shortcut for its "Desktop Only" mode, which hides all the open windows leaving only the desktop and any icons on it. I then open a new Finder window, navigate to my Clippings folder, click the clipping file I want, and begin dragging…

Figure 2
(Click the thumbnail for the large screen shot)

Figure 2: Since all other windows are hidden, I have no place to drag the clipping…

While I'm dragging, I press F9, Exposé's "All Windows" shortcut (F9 by default), to quickly arrange and display every window currently open on my screen simultaneously and with no overlapping.

Figure 3
(Click the thumbnail for the large screen shot)

Figure 3: Exposé's "All Windows" mode.

Next, I drag the clipping onto the window I believe is the Exposé representation of the Word document.

Figure 4
(Click the thumbnail for a larger image)

Figure 4: I drag the clipping onto the window that looks like the correct one…

Notice that, at least in Figure 4, I see the circle with a slash cursor, which implies that I can't drag the clipping to this window. I also see that this is the window I desire—Rants&Raves8. The secret is to wait a second or two -- the window springs open and becomes the active window…

Figure 5

Figure 5: Dropping the clipping on the now-active Rant&Rave8 window…

And now, here's the text from the clipping:

From: MacInTouch Home

Mike Retondo notes a nifty application of Panther's Expose feature:

Found this by accident. I dragged an address from Safari. While dragging I pressed F9 to invoke Expose. I happened to drag my mouse over a unsent e-mail window and I paused there for a few seconds. Then just like spring loaded folders Expose brought the e-mail window to the foreground so I could drop my address into it. I had no idea you could use Expose to drag and drop items from window to window. It's been less then a week and I don't know how I lived so long without Expose. Way to go Apple.

It took much longer to explain than it did to drag and drop the clipping, but I think you can see what a time saver this little technique can be.

In closing, I'd like to thank MacInTouch, Mike Retondo, and Exposé. This has been a major timesaving technique and I've come to love it madly and use if often.

Finding Needles In Haystacks…

I don't know about you, but I've been somewhat lax in my file naming conventions. For example, I have tons of folders that look something like this:

Figure 6
(Click the thumbnail for a larger version)

Figure 6: I have many folders full of similarly-named Word files, like this…

It's not so bad if the files are graphics -- as you can see in Figure 7:

Figure 7
(Click the thumbnail for a larger version)

Figure 7: I have many folders full of similarly named TIFF and JPEG files, too, but they're easier to deal with because their icons offer a preview of their contents…

I found myself wishing I could preview Word files without opening them. And wouldn't it be even better if I could preview them in the Finder without opening them? Not merely an icon preview -- which would probably be too hard to read anyway -- but a fully readable preview.

Turns out there are at least two different ways to get my wish. Allow me to show you both:

Way 1: Microsoft Word X has it built into its Open file dialog box. It's sort of a hidden feature, so here's a look at how you use it:

Choose File-->Open or use the keyboard shortcut Command+O to bring up the Open file dialog box, and then click the Find File button.

Figure 8
(Click the thumbnail for a larger version)

Figure 8: Click the Find File button in Word's Open file dialog box.

When the Search window appears, click the Advanced Search button.

Figure 9
(Click the thumbnail for a larger version)

Figure 9: Click the Advanced Search button in the Search window.

When the Advanced Search window appears, click the Location tab at the top, then use the Add and Remove buttons to choose the folder(s) or disk (s) you wish to search:

Figure 10
(Click the thumbnail for a larger version)

Figure 10: I want to search the Dr. Mac 2000-2003 columns folder so I added it to the list as shown.

Now click the Summary tab and type a keyword or two into the Containing Text field, and then click OK:

Figure 11
(Click the thumbnail for a larger version)

Figure 11: I want to search for the keyword "Unsanity," so I typed it into the Containing Text field, as shown.

When the Search window reappears, you have the option of saving this search for re-use in the future by clicking the Save Search As… button and naming it, and then clicking OK.

Figure 12
(Click the thumbnail for a larger version)

Figure 12: This step is totally optional.

When you click OK in the Search window, the Find File window appears. Select Preview from the Search window's View menu if it's not selected already, and then click on a file name:

Figure 13
(Click the thumbnail for a larger version)

Figure 13: The Find File window gives you a small preview of what the file contains.

You can select multiple files using the Shift or Command keys. When you click the Open button, the file or files you've selected are opened.

Now, this technique has a couple of nice attributes. First, it's free if you already own Microsoft Word. Second, it's fairly fast, even searching folders with hundreds or thousands of .doc files. But it also has some drawbacks like the fact that it's not resizable, and the previews can take several seconds to appear after you select a file. Its biggest flaw is that it only works if Word is open, or, you have to launch Word before you can use this trick.

So, here's a second way you can preview Word files. This one works from the Finder (or any other application); provides a decent-sized preview, draws the previews quickly, and has a bunch of other stuff up its sleeve as well. Like this:

Figure 14
(Click the thumbnail for a larger version)

Figure 14: The preview appears almost instantly when I select an item in the menu…

It's called WorkStrip, and it's the work of company known as Softchaos, on the other side of the pond in jolly old London, England.

Of course that's not all Workstrip can do -- it also offers a number of useful, time-saving features. But I'm running out of space and it's almost bedtime, so I'll show you a couple of ‘em and then I'm outta here.

The first is something I think Mac OS X ought to offer, at least as an option -- a universal Windows menu.

Figure 15
(Click the thumbnail for a larger version)

Figure 15: I can choose any window in any running application with Workstrip's Windows menu.

Another feature I use often and adore is the return of the desktop trash can, provided by Workstrip:

Figure 16
(Click the thumbnail for a larger version)

Figure 16: Workstrip lets you have a Trash icon on your desktop, just like in the good old (Mac OS 9) days.

OK… two more cool things about it before I have to make like a tree…

You can dress up (and rename) your desktop Trash any way you choose.

Workstrip's desktop Trash tells you how much stuff is in it:

Figure 17
(Click the thumbnail for a larger version)

Figure 17: Not only does Workstrip bring back the desktop Trash icon, it lets you customize it any way you like and tells you how much stuff it contains. Neat!

The only downside is that having all this joy will cost you precisely £22.951 for the electronic (i.e. download only) version, or £39.992 for the retail (boxed) version with a CD.

1 Which translates into something like US$37.

2 Which translates into something like US$50.

Macs Averaging Twice the Price of PCs

| News

There was a time when the prospect of Intel Macs, fewer proprietary protocols and standard PC components brought the promise of Mac prices on par with PCs. Recent data from NPD, however, shows that both Mac desktops and notebooks are now priced at more than twice the average selling price (ASP) of PCs, and the trend is getting worse, not better, according to eWeek.

Joe Wilcox reported in his eWeek blog that he contacted Stephen Baker at NPD to verify the price numbers that were recently reported.

Source: NPD

Looking at the ratios in the chart above shows that the trend has gotten worse since 2006, especially for laptops. Mr. Wilcox cited several ways to view the pricing differences: Apple can demand and get premium prices because they donit have competition and because Mac OS X offers a different experience than Windows. Also, higher Mac prices enforce the premium product concept, eliminate budget buyers [who are often expensive to deal with] and keeps gross margins up. Finally, PC makers donit have to spend money promoting Vista.

In a hotly competitive commodity market, without the OS as a competitive advantage, PC makers have to squeeze out every last hardware advantage they can, according to Mr. Wilcox. That means that some PCs will have better high profile specs than a corresponding Mac, but the Mac has a more attractive industrial design and often includes items that are a neglected option on the PCs, such as Bluetooth, 802.11n Wi-Fi and a Webcam.

The authoris conclusion was that, despite the intangibles of the Mac, Apple cannot gain further market share unless prices go down and that factor of two gulf is reduced.

Third party hardware support for OS X

  • Posted: 07 July 2001 03:10 PM

    I have a number of third party USB devices for my Mac and have found that the vendors haven’t created OS X drivers yet. The beta was out long ago and they have had plenty of time to create the drivers , I would have expected the drivers to te available when the release hit the street. It looks like there is a problem with the vendor support in general. Has anyone else had this problem?

  • Posted: 03 July 2001 10:42 AM #1

    I’ve been waiting for iSub support from Apple as well as a new intellimouse explorer driver from Microsoft. I’m beginning to wonder if either is on the way.

    I think the problem has more to do with Apple’s Mac OS X API’s and underlying support for things like USB than it does the lackadaisical-ness of the developers.  Apple’s X APIs weren’t complete even after X was released in March.  That doesn’t make it easy to develop.

    Is is iSub independent of the soundsticks? Or do you have to use the iSub in conjunction with the soundsticks? If you do, does that mean that there’s bass in 9.1 coming from the sub but in X it just has no bass? I mean, do the soundsticks work in OSX or not?

    Strange how Apple’s own products aren’t supported.

    Here’s the deal with the iSub:

    The iSub is NOT the same thing as the subwoofer that comes with the SoundSticks.  The iSub is designed to complement the iMac speakers while the subwoofer with the SoundSticks is designed to complement the SoundSticks.  The iSub currently doesn’t work in Mac OS X because Apple has not written the driver software for it.  Unlike the SoundSticks, the iSub uses software to split the bass off and assign it to speakers.  The SoundSticks does this in hardware, so no software is needed for this to happen.  What I don’t understand is why Apple has not written the software for the iSub yet.  It is one of their flagship products (the iMac with iSub).

      I’m waiting for 2D and 3D support in OS X for my Xclaim VR card (Rage Pro).  ATI has said publicly that it doesn’t have plans to offer Rage Pro support, and is passing the buck on to Apple, which, in its ultra-secretive wisdom (sarcasm alert!), refuses to say whether or not support from Apple on this Rage Pro issue is forthcoming.  Thus, what we have here is not only a third party neglecting its customers, but Apple itself ostensibly failing to support its own hardware (my beige G3 desktop’s stock video card, too, has Rage Pro circuitry)!

Apple Stock Closes at All-Time High, Up 50 Points for the Month of January

Posted in Apple, News on 31/01/2012 by J. Glenn Künzler

Apple’s stock closed at another record high of $456.48 today, the final day of trading for January. It’s also worth noting that AAPL is up over 50 points for the month of January, granting Apple a fantastic start to 2012.

A significant portion of the gain resulted from Apple’s announcement of all-time record fiscal numbers last week. On the whole, Apple’s stock value has increased by nearly 13% in a single month, and that should be impressive by anyone’s count.

The company has also significantly exceeded Exxon Mobil‘s market share, closing out the month by once again reclaiming the title of most valuable company in the world.
