School Districts Across Country Go Mobile to Keep Parents Informed
In order to stay better connected with parents and become more efficient, school districts around the country are launching new apps offering parents a look into what's happening in their school systems.
Brevard Public Schools in Florida is following this trend, and currently offers information on its middle and high school on its app, such as dismissal delays and attendance alerts, said EducationNews.org. The district decided to redesign its website and include a mobile feature after discovering that around 45% of parents access websites on their smartphones.
"All of a sudden, a mom can see a message has dropped [in the app] that John isn't in school today," said Michelle Irwin, district spokeswoman. Parents without accesss to the app can receive the messages through the website or via landline. The app also offers the school's calendar of events, student grades, and transportation schedules. The app is free to download.
A similar app was launched in Des Moines, Iowa, costing the district $18,500, the article said. The app offers parents the ability to download activity schedules, lunch menus, announcements, updates and find out about snow days.
"A lot of people just can't afford to necessarily have a computer at home or to have Internet connection; well that's changed in the past few years in terms of the accessibility of smartphones being really close to universal," said spokesman Phil Roeder. "And this is the way to access people, the computer that we carry around in our pocket."

Lesson Plan: Illustrations- Doctor De Soto Subject: ELA- Reading Grade: 3 Lesson Objective: To identify how illustrations add to a story and how to figure out what they express Common Core Standard: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.7- Explain how specific aspects of a text's illustrations contribute to what is conveyed by the words in a story (e.g., create mood, emphasize aspects of a character or setting) Materials: Printable Handout - Reading Selection on the Book, Doctor De Soto by William Steig Starter: Say: Do you like to read books with illustrations? Why or why not? (Allow the students to answer.) Main: Say: Illustrations are pictures in books that help to tell the story. When we are reading books, illustrations can help us to understand what is happening in a story, what a character in a story is doing or help us to see something that might be hard to imagine. Sometimes an author describes a situation that is difficult to imagine if you have no experience with it. Illustrations help to show the situation with pictures. Sometimes, illustrations can help us to understand the feelings of characters in a book. Red is often used to represent angry, blue is often used to represent calm and green is often used to represent jealousy. Illustrators can use these colors to help us understand emotion. Can you think of a time that illustrations help you when you were reading a book? (Allow the students to answer.) When reading a book that has illustrations, you can look through the book and just look at the illustrations before you read the book. This will give you an idea of what the book is going to be about. You are now going to read part of Dr. Desoto. While you are reading, I want you to look at the illustrations and think about how they help to tell the story. After you have finished reading, there are questions for you to answer.�� Write the answers to the questions that are below the story. Does anyone have any questions? Feedback: Say: Who would like to share their answers? (Allow the students to share and go over the answers and where they came from.)

Part 25 of 31 in our NHL previews where Ballantyne, Burgess and I rank each NHL team 1 through 31 and give you an outlook on their season. Each of our previews will be given to you in order of where we collectively power ranked that team.
Last season was an unmitigated disaster for the Dallas Stars. A season removed from a 109 point 2015-16 season (good for top seed in the West), the Stars plummeted all the way to the draft lottery with a poor 79 point performance.
The main culprit for such a drop was the atrocious Lehtonen/Niemi goalie tandem where they put up a .902 and .892 save percentage (dis)respectfully. Neither goalie helped to hide the deficiencies of a thin blueline that was bullied all season long.
That being said, going into the season everyone knew that defense and goalies were a weakness (the extent they were weak was a little shocking), nobody expected a seemingly dominant offense being merely average. Their killer Seguin-Benn combo dropped from a combined 74 goals and 162 points in 2015-16 to 52 goals and 141 point last season. While this is troubling, its mostly due to a weak secondary offense that failed to keep defensive pressrue solely off of the first line. A 33 year-old Spezza only managed 15 goals, Patrik Eaves, Jiri Hudler, Ales Hemsky and Patrick Sharp all missed significant time with injury, and young players like Devin Shore, Brett Ritchie and Radek Faksa failed to move the needle with increased playing time.
Last year was truly an all-out attack of mediocrity from last year's Cup favourites. The Stars were able to disappoint in seemingly every aspect of the game of hockey.
And cue the comeback. Widely regarded as the "winners" of the offseason, the Stars have bought their way right back into the Stanley Cup favourites conversation. While the offseason spending spree may have brought on contracts that will look rough down the road, GM Jim Nill has checked every box on the team's wishlist.
In signing Bishop the team finally has a legitimate goalie, a positional vacancy that has been open since Marty Turco left town. Methot should help stabilize a leaky blueline and be able to anchor last season's worst penalty killing units. Martin Hanzal and Alex Radulov offer the team a secondary scoring punch that should draw some defensive focus away from Benn and Seguin. Jim Nill and Stars management took their biggest swing this offseason, let's see where these Stars land.
To be clear, Seguin and Benn are both among the NHL's elite players. This could honestly be a coin flip because both players are just so impactful. Benn is a big, fast, physical force of nature who can wrack up points and is utilized on the penalty kill. He is irreplaceable to the Stars. But while he led the Stars in ice-time last year, I still lean towards Seguin as Dallas' alpha dog.
Where I think Seguin separates himself over Benn–and from most of the NHL quite frankly–is his ability to create offense from nothing. While Benn is a freak of nature, you just can't teach guys to do what Tyler can with the puck in a live game. Seguin scores at a higher rate, averages out to a better possession player and is also just flat-out more creative. Also, while we're splitting hairs, even though Benn can play center it's Seguin who more often than not finds himself centering the top line with Benn lining up on his left wing.
To be clear both players are stellar and I guess picking this team's most valuable player would just be up to preference.
The additions of Alex Radulov and Martin Hanzal to an already talented group of forwards almost seems like overkill. Radulov returned from the KHL last season to spark Montreal's offense with a quality 54 point performance. Hanzal is strong two-way player and is perfectly suited to line up as the second centre allowing the aging SPezz to shift to the wing.
This adds just more fire power to an offense that has seen Tyler Seguin score 316 points in 314 games and Jamie Benn score 335 points in 331 games since the 2013-14 season. Spezza still managed 50 points despite slowing down because of age and injury. In just his fourth NHL season Klingberg has already established as an elite puck moving defenseman and already has 9 points in 9 games this season. The team also hopes youngsters like Radek Faksa and Julius Honka can fulfill their immense offensive potential.
Even if this season doesn't go right for the Stars you can bet goal scoring won't be the issue.
Part of the reason that the Stars haven't been able to make the leap from a team with talented pieces to true contender has been management's allergies to competent defensemen and goaltending. Both positions have seemingly been fortified with the acquisitions of Marc Methot and Ben Bishop. While both moves are no-brainers, they aren't without question-marks of their own.
Methot has been the prototypical shutdown guy and a perfect sidekick for Erik Karlsson in Ottawa, but that may actually be an issue going forward. The fact that he has been glued to Karlsson's hip means that he hasn't had to be a primary puckhandler and has been pigeon-holed into a complementary role reminiscent of a glorified Roman Polak. While John Klingberg is a stellar defenseman in his own right, it'd be crazy to ask the 25 year-old to cover up Methot's deficiencies to the same extent that Karlsson did.
As for Bishop, he could very well be the solution to Dallas' goalie problem. But at age 31, coming off of an injury plagued 2016-17 and mediococre .910 save percentage, signed to a reasonably risky six-year, $29.5 million contract, there is plenty of room for error.
A silver lining of the brutal 2016-17 season was that Dallas was able to grab the number 3 pick in last summer's draft. With the pick, the Stars drafted left-shooting defenseman Miro Heiskanen third overall. This pick was a no-brainer for a Dallas Stars team that is systemically weak on the blueline. Heiskanen has huge upside with puckmoving skills that have been compared to powerplay quarterbacks like Kris Letang and Ryan McDonaugh. While Heiskanen is only 170 lbs, his 6'0″ frame leaves plenty of room to grow. Unlike some of the guys taken around Miro in the draft, he is years away from potentially cracking Dallas' lineup. Stars fans should be excited for his hot start this season with HIFK Helsinki of the SM-liiga where he already has 7 points in 6 games (for context's sake, he had 10 points in 37 games last season.
While the contract term has people on the fence about the Ben Bishop signing, nobody can deny that he was the best goalie available this offseason. In his five season stint with Tampa, Bishop had a stellar .921 save percentage, made two All Star teams, finished top 10 in Hart Trophy voting twice and was a runner-up for the Vezina twice. All things considered this is a pretty stacked resume.
There will be a tonne of pressure on Bishop to deliver this year and that's understandable. The Stars NEED somebody to just stop a damn puck. I think Bishop signing with Dallas was a perfect marriage in spite of the red flags I listed above. If he falters then it might be another trip to the draft lottery this summer.
A top six of Seguin, Benn, Spezza, Radulov, Faksa and Hanzal should be able to score truckloads of goals. This unit should be among the NHL's elite. While the Ben Bishop contract could look bad in a couple of seasons, I think he could be a great bet right now. One thing's for sure, you just couldn't trot out the Lehtonen/Niemi again and expect different results. It'll be interesting to see how the defense holds up. Klingberg is young and knocking on the door as an elite defenseman. Methot and Hamhuis are still solid in spite of their age and should be able to stabalize things. The telling sign of how they will perform as a unit will rest on the shoulders of the developing games of Oleksiak, Johns and Honka.
This is a tough team to read. We've seen this same core of players dominate and fail over the last couple of seasons. A conservative look would say that maybe this team is middle of the pack. But, after their huge offseason spending spree, it's tough not to drink the Kool Aid. I like the look of this roster and wouldn't be shocked to see Jamie Benn lifting the Stanley Cup when all is said and done. Giddy up Dallas.

As the deceptions of the Bush administration hit home, anger is turning into organizing throughout the country. A new movement is being born, based on hope not fear.
The "Take Back America" conference held in Washington, D.C., this month was a signal light toward stopping the anti-democratic, anti-people, never-ending war crusade of the far right. Over 1,500 labor, civil rights, women's, environmental, peace and community activists soundly slammed the policies of the Bush administration and called for an all-out 17-month campaign to "take back" the country.
The main lessons were (1) Everything between now and November 2004 is connected to the elections; (2) Bush cannot be defeated with a program that makes compromises with the right wing; (3) A strong program for jobs, health care, peace, the defense of Social Security, Medicare, public education, affirmative action and democratic rights can inspire new voters, young and old, to come to the polls; and (4) It takes a united fight to win. The answer lies in movement-building, holding candidates accountable and getting out the vote.
The huge demonstrations against the war on Iraq have moved many progressive Democrats to conclude that leaving the issues of war and terrorism to the Republicans is a losing strategy.
Those presidential candidates and speakers who expressed opposition to the war drive received ovations. Those who opposed the repressive measures of the USA Patriot Act got big applause, as did every speaker who denounced tax cuts to the rich.
The invitation of Democratic presidential candidates to conferences like this one has helped spotlight issues facing working people and to shape the election debate. The more advanced candidates in the Democratic field are also helping to move the debate toward a program that can inspire voter involvement.
In his closing remarks, Jesse Jackson cautioned against dismissing any candidates as "unelectable." Be careful about "abandoning your principles too quickly. Sometimes principles make the winner." He emphasized that voters are driven to vote against their interests by fear, not hope.
When Sen. Paul Wellstone "crossed the color line" to lead the Jackson presidential campaign in Minnesota, he showed equality to be a winning position.
The Take Back America conference became a center of coordination and unity for 2004. Broadly built independent efforts at the grass roots can help produce an electoral victory, such as the Immigrant Workers' Freedom Ride, the Wellstone Action training efforts, the Partnership for America's Families' labor-community coalition building, the Cities for Peace election organizing in 13 swing states, ACORN-initiated Livable Wage ballot initiatives, and next spring's demonstration for a woman's right to choose.
The stakes couldn't be higher in 2004. Take hope, roll up your sleeves and get involved.

Q: Using AutoML Vision REST API in Android App I want to use AutoML Vision REST API in Android App.
The recommended way to Authenticate with API is through Service Accounts.
Another option is to use OAuth2.0.
So How can I use Service Account Authentication in Android App or OAuth2.0 is the only option?
Also, suggest if there is any other way to achieve this with concise and compact code.

A: In most cases, the recommendation is to have your application communicate to a backend server that handles the requests and their authentication to GCP. This will allow to have a better control and security of your Project and you can just follow the recommendations for setting up authentication for server to server production applications.
If you really want to authenticate as an end user, then for Production scenarios the best option is to use OAuth 2.0, which allows your application to access resources on behalf of a user, setting the proper scopes. Check this documentation to learn more about how to use OAuth 2.0 for Mobile & Desktop Apps.
Alternatively, you could use API keys, but you have to be careful and restrict the API keys to your specific Android Apps and other proper restrictions in order to avoid misuse. Also, you would have to follow other best practices such as reviewing your code before publicly releasing it in order to ensure that your code does not contain API keys.

Beware of Tionese Bearing Gifts: A Long Time Ago, Part 2
Posted on August 21, 2013by Tyler Williams This Belongs in a Museum
Who are the Tionese?
An ancient human culture, the Tionese first appeared indirectly in Brian Daley's Han Solo and the Lost Legacy. The Tionese inhabit the Tion Cluster, in the Outer Rim just north of Mon Calamari Space. Aside from mentions in Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds and The New Essential Chronology, the Tionese were mostly forgotten by the EU at large until 2009, with the publication of the Essential Atlas. The Atlas greatly expanded on Tionese history, particularly the conquests of Xim. Further work was done on the Tionese during "Xim Week"- particularly Jason Fry's The History of Xim and the Tion Cluster– and John Hazlett's The Written Word.
It's All Tionese to Me
Much like the Latin Alphabet, the Greek Alphabet has been canonized within the GFFA, this time as the written language of the Tionese. According to The Written Word, the Tionese language was devised as an administrative tool by Jansari (A powerful group within the Livien League of the northwestern Tion Cluster). While it has been largely superseded by Aurebesh (and to a lesser extent in recent times, by High Galactic), the Tionese language remains in use in the Tion Cluster- most notably by several starship companies. Cygnus Starworks (Cygnus, the Latin word for 'swan', comes from the Greek 'cycnus', which refers to several characters in Greek mythology who were transformed into swans) produced various spacecraft in cooperation with the famous Sienar Fleet Systems for the Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire- spacecraft whose designations rather conspicuously utilize Greek letters, such as the Lambda-class shuttle piloted by Han Solo in Return of the Jedi, or the Theta-class shuttle which Palpatine utilized as a hyperspace-capable ambulance in Revenge of the Sith. Sienar Fleet Systems was headquartered on Lianna in the Tion Cluster, while Cygnus Starworks was based in the nearby Cygnus Star Empire. The Tionese alphabet was also utilized by various militaries in the GFFA—Delta and Omega Squads from the Republic Commando series bear such designations, and Luke Skywalker orders Rogue Squadron to adopt Attack Pattern Delta during the Battle of Hoth.
A Divided Tion
After the decline of the Rakata, the human culture that came to inhabit the Tion Cluster repurposed old Rakatan technology to develop the hyperdrive independently of the Republic. The Tionese formed a cacophony of independent states within the Tion Cluster, constantly warring and allying with each other without any one faction gaining dominance over the rest. While the Tionese shared elements of a unified culture, the Tionese did not unify into one state of their own. Multiple alliances existed between independent Tionese states- the Livien League, the Kingdom of Cron, the Ihala Spiral, and the Three Allied Kingdoms. The political state of the Tion pre-Xim greatly resembles classical Greece. While all sorts of intercity alliances were formed (such as the Delian League and the Peloponnesian League), and some states even gained the upper hand in a region for a time (for example, Athens gaining control over much of the Aegean), no one Greek city-state gained complete control over Hellas.
Xim the Despot: Alexander's Less-Successful Fanboy
First mentioned in the 1979 Han Solo and the Lost Legacy, Xim languished in the dustbin of the EU until the mid-2000s, when the New Essential Chronology and Xim Week greatly expanded upon his career. As a result, Xim the Despot has come to resemble a less successful Alexander the Great. Xim's career owed much to the exploits of his father, Xer VII, whose conquests in the northern Tion provided a base of power from which Xim could conduct his raids and subjugations throughout the Tion. Xer conquered much of the Tion Cluster proper, and upon his death was succeeded by Xim, who finished what Xer had started and expanded beyond the borders of the Cluster. At its height, Xim's Empire extended from the Radama Void to Kessel, and attempted to push into the Hutt Empire, that early bogeyman of humankind in the GFFA. Xim's diplomacy and tactics were ruthless, yet he met his match in the form of the Hutts, led by Kossak the Great. After a series of three ritual battles over Vontor, Xim was thoroughly defeated by Kossak; accounts differ as to whether he died at Vontor or rotted in Kossak's dungeons. Xim is described in some sources as egotistic, even megalomaniacal, with his vision of a large empire outstripping the practicalities that the resources at hand lent him. Xim's career resembles that of Alexander, had Alexander been crushed repeatedly at the Battle of Issus by Darius III of Persia. Like Alexander before him, Xim owed his initial powerbase to his father, who died under suspicious circumstances—regardless of whether or not Alexander's mother actually poisoned Philip II, the rumors surfaced nonetheless, and no doubt helped to inspire Xim's mother/wife, Queen Indrexu. Both Alexander and Xim, after unifying their normally fractious cultures (who in fact regarded them initially as barbarian foreigners), made war upon their cultural bogeymen, be they the Hutts or the Persians. Xim's story differs in the conclusion—Alexander crushes the Persians and goes on to carve out a massive empire, while Xim's momentum comes to a wrenching halt in orbit above Vontor. The empires formed by both figures fell apart upon their deaths- Xim's conquests were gobbled up by the Hutts or simply broke off from his Tionese Empire, while Alexander's generals (often called the Diadochi) scrambled to carve out the corners of his empire as their own personal kingdoms.
War with the Republic, Galactic and Roman
After the fall of Xim, the Tion Hegemony returned to its previous fractious state. Xim's outlying conquests were conquered, declared independence, isolated, or sterilized by the Hutts. Circa 24000 BBY, scouts from the Tion encountered traders from the fledgling Republic- among whose member cultures several regarded the Tionese as their cultural antecedents. Sensing an opportunity to expand, the Tionese formed the Honorable Union of Desevro and Tion and invaded the nascent Republic along the Perlemian Trade Route, fission-bombing multiple Republic colonies. While the war initially went in favor of the Tionese, the Republic rallied, constructing its first real navy and enlisting the aid of the Jedi Order. The Republic then took the war to the Tion Cluster, devastating multiple worlds and bombarding Desevro. The Tionese War resembles the Macedonian Wars, conducted from 190-146 BCE by the Roman Republic against the Antigonids, rulers of Macedonia. Like the Republic—particularly the planet Alsakan– the Romans viewed the Greeks as their cultural forbearers, even as they went to war with them (the Roman Republic pushed the narrative that they were 'liberating' the Greeks from the 'tyranny' of the Antigonids). The onus for starting the war differs- the Tionese outright invaded Republic Space, whereas the Romans engineered a cause for war in order to invade Greece. As I mentioned in "Senatus Populusque Res Publica Galactica", the devastation of Desevro at the end of the war echoes the sack of Corinth at the end of the Third Macedonian War- a war fought against a recently-formed league of Greek States meant to drive the Romans from Greece. Like the Tionese, the Greek were incorporated into the Roman Republic after the Macedonian Wars, as the provinces of Macedonia, Graecia, Thracia, and Achaea.
Decline post-Tionese Wars
Following the defeat of Xim, the Hutt expansion into former Xim-controlled territories, and the Republic conquest of the Tion Hegemony, the Tion gradually became a backwater on the Outer Rim. The momentum of expansion fell to the Republic, and that expansion for the most part was directed away from the Tionese, into the Slice and the Northern Territories. The Tion Cluster did experience a brief resurgence during the Clone Wars. Count Dooku announced the formation of the Separatist movement from the surface of Raxus Prime, and the Tion supported the CIS during the Clone Wars, even hosting the Separatist Council for a time on Raxus. After the war, the Empire further divided the Tion into several sectors in order to prevent the formation of any potential power blocs in the region. They need not have worried, as by this point in time the glories of the Tion lay far in the distant past. Xim and the Tion describes the worlds of the Tion circa-GCW as almost uniformly backwater worlds who cling to notions of past glory while being home to little more than subsistence farmers and tourist attractions- the Tion has become the statue of Ozymandias in the eponymous poem. Like the Tion Cluster, Greece and Macedonia were divided into several provinces by the Roman Empire. After the death of Alexander, the momentum of expansion in the Mediterranean and Mesopotamia shifted away from Greece itself. In the East, the Seleucid Empire (founded by one of Alexander's generals and encompassing much of the old Persian Empire's territory) and the rest of Alexander's successor states fought over the remnants of his empire, while the Antigonids of Greece tried their best to simply hold onto Greece. In the Mediterranean, Rome's star waxed as Greek power waned- first with the Romans taking the Greek colonies in southern Italy and Sicily, and then with the Macedonian Wars. While it didn't exactly suffer under the Roman Empire, and indeed the Eastern Roman Empire later used Greece as its base of power, the Hellenes cannot be described as the masters of the Mediterranean during the era of Roman dominance.

History and the EU
10 thoughts to "Beware of Tionese Bearing Gifts: A Long Time Ago, Part 2"
Nick Adams says:
Fantastic article, Tyler! Really top notch stuff. As a lover of history, I really enjoy reading articles that draw parallels between the GFFA and the real world. The Tionese worlds really do deserve more exploring in the "modern" GFFA. Last we heard of them, they were NR/GA members with senatorial representatives that favored continuing the war against the Vong.
Tyler Williams says:
Thanks Nick. It would definitely be interesting to see how they fared post-Vong War. The Vong themselves barely paid the Tion any attention during the war (I guess one's glory days being 25000 years gone does have some benefits), yet with the Alpha Red test on Caluula going haywire, the current state of the Cluster is anyone's guess.
The Cluster is begging for some short stories starring Corellia Antilles. Begging. Jason Fry even worked her into the Xim and the Tion article.
Lucas Jackson says:
Everywhere is begging for Corellia Antilles short stories. But the Tion would be especially great. I'd love some treasure-hunting stories that could be excuses to give us more history — maybe even a dual narrative featuring flashbacks to Xim's day.
Question for the cunning linguists among us: tie-on or tea-on?
I always pronounce it Tea-on, for what it's worth.
Ditto. But I have to admit "tie-on" feels more…archaic?
I say Tea-on.
The Loyal Imperial says:
Tea-on.
Tea-on feels more in like with how the letter "I" tends to be pronounced in Latin; what we usually look at as a long "I" sound in English is often formed by "ae" in Latin. However, seeing as these guys are Space Hellenes, and I have virtually no knowledge of Attic Greek, I'll defer to Jay.
Lucas- what would make further Corellia Antilles adventures even better is how well-suited the Tion is to small-scale adventures. The Tion's glory days are long past, and the authors who would likely write such a story- Luceno, Fry, or some of the TOS short story authors (Slave Pits of Lorrd comes to mind)- would know how to exercise restraint and tell a good story while making good use of the history of the Tion. Indiana Jones in space fantasy NEEDS TO HAPPEN ALREADY, IT WAS PASSED UP ONCE DURING THE CORELLIAN TRILOGY.
Plus, strong female lead.
Jay Shah says:
Just saw this — the Attic iota is pronounced exactly the same way as the Latin i. If Tion were a Greek word, it would be Τιων (by necessity a third declension neuter, because if it were second declension it would lead to an unpronounceable mess of vowels in the oblique cases). The omega is a long omicron, which would be pronounced as an omicron held longer in classical Athens, or simply an English long o in the modern pronunciation. The iota is clearly long. So it's not quite "Tea-on" but close to it: the long iota is a bit more like a long French i than a long English e (as in Latin), with the omega pronounced like the -aw in saw. So a bit more like Tea-awn than Tea-on.
In English, I think it's pretty unambiguously Tea-on. Tie-on sounds rather rustic.

Ulrich Bähnk (* 1965 in Plön) ist ein deutscher Schauspieler.

Leben
Bähnk absolvierte eine Schauspielausbildung an der Staatlichen Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst in Hamburg, die er 1989 mit dem Schauspieldiplom abschloss.

Er hatte im Verlauf seiner Karriere zahlreiche Festengagements als Theaterschauspieler, so am Staatstheater Hannover (1989), am Deutschen Schauspielhaus (1991–1993), an den Hamburger Kammerspielen (1993, 2003), am Theater im Zimmer (1994), am Altonaer Theater (1996, 2000–2006) und mit dem Solostück Der letzte Raucher an der Komödie Winterhuder Fährhaus (2008). 2009 und 2010 gastierte er bei den Burgfestspielen Jagsthausen, 2009 als Franz Moor in Die Räuber und 2010 in der Titelrolle von Goethes Schauspiel Götz von Berlichingen.

Bähnk spielte dort ein breites Repertoire, das Stücke der Antike, von William Shakespeare, die deutschsprachigen Autoren der Klassik, insbesondere aber auch Stücke der Moderne und des zeitgenössischen Theaters umfasste. Er wurde anfangs im Rollenfach des jugendlichen Helden und jugendlichen Liebhabers besetzt, übernahm jedoch bald auch verstärkt das Charakterfach.

Zu seinen Bühnenrollen gehörten unter anderem: Paris in Romeo und Julia (1992, Deutsches Schauspielhaus, Regie: Michael Bogdanov), Buckingham in Richard III. (1993, Hamburger Kammerspiele, Regie: Stephan Barbarino), Bernhard in Tod eines Handlungsreisenden (1993, Deutsches Schauspielhaus), Wladimir in Warten auf Godot (1994, Theater im Zimmer), Nick in Wer hat Angst vor Virginia Woolf? (1994, Theater im Zimmer), Sosias in  Amphitryon (1995, Altonaer Theater), die Titelrolle in Der aufhaltsame Aufstieg des Arturo Ui (2002, Altonaer Theater), George in Von Mäusen und Menschen (2003, Altonaer Theater) und die Titelrolle in Hamlet (2004/2005, Altonaer Theater).

Bähnk wirkte auch in einigen Kinofilmen und zahlreichen Fernsehproduktionen mit. Unter der Regie von Roland Suso Richter war er als Staatsanwalt in dessen Thriller 14 Tage lebenslänglich (1997) zu sehen. In dem Doku-Drama Todesspiel über die Entführung des Flugzeugs "Landshut" verkörperte er die Rolle des Lufthansa-Copiloten Jürgen Vietor. In dem Krimi Menschenjagd (1999) spielte er den Kindesmörder Jürgen Haller, der seine eigene Nichte tötet und den Verdacht auf einen homosexuellen Musiklehrer zu lenken versucht.

Er hatte außerdem regelmäßig Episodenrollen in mehreren Fernsehserien, unter anderem in den Fernsehserien Alarm für Cobra 11 – Die Autobahnpolizei, Für alle Fälle Stefanie, Adelheid und ihre Mörder, Großstadtrevier, Wolffs Revier, Balko, Da kommt Kalle, Notruf Hafenkante und SOKO Wismar.  Außerdem wirkte er in drei Episoden der Krimireihe Tatort mit, u. a. 2003 in der Rolle des leicht verhaltensauffälligen Edgar Rodammer im Klara-Blum-Tatort Der Schächter.

Besondere Bekanntheit erlangte er insbesondere durch seine durchgehende Serienhauptrolle als Oberbootsmann Thomas Asmus in der ZDF-Actionserie Die Rettungsflieger. Eine weitere durchgehende Serienrolle hatte er außerdem in der ZDF-Serie Der Landarzt; dort spielte Bähnk an der Seite von Thorsten Nindel den Dorfpolizisten Dieter Paetz.

Bähnk arbeitete auch als Sprecher für Hörbücher, unter anderem kann man seine Stimme bei Bearbeitungen von Der Seewolf und Tom Sawyer hören.

Bähnk, der mit seiner Familie zeitweise in Lüneburg gelebt hatte, ist Vater von drei Söhnen und wohnt mittlerweile fest in Hamburg.

Auszeichnungen
 1994: Boy-Gobert-Preis für seine schauspielerische Leistung in den Theaterstücken Warten auf Godot und Wer hat Angst vor Virginia Woolf?
 2015: Rolf-Mares-Preis für seine Rolle als Hardy in Laurel&Hardy in den Hamburger Kammerspielen

About the Treasurer Position
The town treasurer is elected for a 3-year term and also serves as the Town School District Treasurer. Our town does not pay the treasurer on a fee basis, but votes to compensate the treasurer through the town budget process.
The town treasurer is responsible for the collection of current taxes. As collector of current taxes, the treasurer must keep separate accounts for town and school monies. The treasurer sends out notices to each individual taxpayer, stating the taxpayer's grand list value, tax rate, the amount of taxes payable, and when they are due. The bill includes the following notice:
Unpaid taxes are subject to interest at 1% per month through April. Interest increases in May to 1.5% per month. A penalty of 8% is charged after the February due date on any unpaid balances. These charges are established by statutes and the voters of the Town of Hartford. Within 20 days after the due date, the treasurer shall issue a warrant against the delinquent taxpayers for the taxes remaining unpaid to the collector of delinquent taxes. The original warrant is filed with the Town Clerk.

Open Plaques is an open source community-based service which connects online and offline by documenting, cataloguing and promoting commemorative plaques (often blue and round) installed on buildings and other public landmarks in the UK and beyond.
Our first Open Day event is FREE and geared to improving and developing the website. Activity on the day will be focused on making www.openplaques.org better enabled to take contributions from and be used by the public and organisations who want to contribute plaque data and biographical content. In turn, we aim to make it easier for others to use that data for their own websites, mobile applications and other services.
At the end of the day the groups will come together to share what they've been working on, as well as to hear from others who've already been buildng some apps and services using Open Plaques data.
Lunch and tea / coffee will be provided.
Book now and join us to help take Open Plaques forward!
The project aims to bring the people-powered history the plaques encapsulate to life - and to a larger audience - by making its website and database the definitive and most comprehensive resource about these historical markers. In turn, the data and resources produced by the project aim for wide distribution and re-use, and are available for free to all under a Public Domain declaration.
Follow us on Twitter @openplaques and get updates on the blog. We'd love to hear from you!
We've been kindly supported by the RSA via their Catalyst fund to make this event happen.

Camping in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France
When it comes to booking a camping trip, France is always a great idea. You'll be spoilt for choice no matter where you go. That said, heading away to the southeastern part of the country holds even more special rewards for holidaymakers looking to unwind and relax in a spectacular setting.
We should know. Two of the Campsited team took their families camping in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur last summer. And their stories of what they saw and did while in this beautiful corner of the world has the rest of us green with envy.
Camping in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur : sun, sea and mountains just three hours from Paris
Although Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur can feel completely removed from a bustling city, it's actually only a three hour TGV trip from Paris. But whether you travel via Paris, or make your way on another route, you'll know you're in a completely new world the minute you step into this part of the south of France.
During the summer months, temperatures range from 25 to 30 Celsius. The Mediterranean climate also means that the days are mostly free of rain.
Therefore you have all the elements necessary to explore the surrounding areas. Spoiler alert: it's an embarrassment of riches.
Firstly, there's the Med. The sea will surprise you with its many shades of blue. You've got the option to swim, canoe or white-water raft in these waters no matter where you are. From the Calanques of Marseille to the celebrity hotspot of Saint-Tropez, and Toulon harbour to the Hyères islands, you'll suddenly understand what Gershwin was speaking about when he composed Rhapsody in Blue.
Just when you think you can get your head around the beauty of the Meditteranean, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur will throw another showstopper your way in the form of its national parks.
This region of France has three national parks. The Maures mountain range, the Queyras Natural Regional Park and the Ecrins National Park are in easy-to-reach locations. They offer great paths and tracks for hiking, walking and cycling.
Going camping in Côte d'Azur
This part of France is exceptionally well kitted out for families. A quick glance through our many campsites from Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur will show you all of the facilities you can enjoy.
Although you have the Mediterranean on your doorstep, just about all of the campsites come with spectacular, and large, swimming pools. Some resorts even have more than one pool.
Many campsites also have playgrounds for younger holidaymakers. And on-site shops and restaurants to keep the parents happy.
Our two Campsited team members stayed at two separate campsites with their families. We share more details about each of these campsites below to illustrate just how much fun camping in the shadow of the Alps in France is.
Domaine de la Bergerie
If you're after a five star camping experience, where green Alpine forests grow on your doorstep, then you'll definitely want to check out the campsite that Fin and his family went to.
This campsite's location is the stuff of dreams. It is situated in a forest of oak and pine trees, with the sea nearby on one side and hills on the other. You'll be in a prime position to enjoy all the rejuvenating benefits that nature has to offer.
No matter whether your preference is a mobile home or a pitch to set up your own tent, Domaine de la Bergerie will deliver. And once you're settled in you'll have access to the 1400m² water park, a wellness area, indoor pool, kids' club, entertainment and fitness room facilities.
There's also a restaurant located in the centre of the campsite. Not only does it provide you with sumptuous food and drink and stunning views over the bay of Saint-Raphaël, but the restaurant is also built in a Provençal sheep pen. How's that for an authentic French experience!
Fin's family flew to Nice and then got a transfer to Domaine de la Bergerie with JamTransfer. The airport is approximately 70 kilometres from the campsite and the return journey cost €220.
Half of the units in the campsite are static units that are "owner occupied". This means that the owners spend a few months of the year living in the campsite. This contributes to a warm and welcoming village feel.
Domaine de la Bergerie's facilities and activities
Once settled into their chalet, Fin's children (ranging in ages from 2 to 8) had just one thing on their mind. SWIMMING! And they were spoilt for choice, with four pools and a water slide at their disposal. There is also plenty of lifeguards on hand to keep everyone safe and sound.
Occasionally other activities did get a show in! A full list of the activities the campsite offers can be seen here.
These activities included archery, visits to the petting zoo, pony riding, hip-hop dancing, soccer, volleyball, basketball and a lot of hiking on the mountain trails right behind the campsite. A family disco one evening a week saw Fin, his wife and their little ones busting some shapes on the dance floor – and having a lot of fun while at it!
A supermarket is situated in the campsite and it had everything the family needed, including barbecue rental. The campsite also offers a little bakery next door to the supermarket that provides a daily supply of freshly baked bread and pastries. Fin's youngsters quickly claimed the task of walking to the bakery every day to buy the bread for breakfast. And a few sneaky pretzels! (We like their thinking ????.)
The restaurant was a hit with Fin's family. In fact, they ended up eating there six of the nights they were away. The food delighted, from youngest to oldest, and eating out provided a lovely, relaxing close to each day.
The family also made use of the poolside cafe for drinks, snacks and lunch during the days. Evenings were often spent on the open and welcoming terrace bar.
Fin's family chose a three-bedroomed chalet as their accommodation. The chalet came with air conditioning and had a very modern fit-out. The family enjoyed a great deal of privacy, and Fin noted that this was true for many of the chalets on the site.
Thanks to their chalet being on a hill, Fin and his family enjoyed a great view from their big patio (partly covered for shade). Outdoor furniture made al fresco dining and lounging in the sun mandatory activities.
The closest town to Domaine de la Bergerie is Fréjus, approximately six kilometres away. This town has pretty much everything a family needs in the way of utilities, i.e. restaurants, supermarkets… There is also a brilliant waterpark called Acqualand.
Exploring Fréjus and its surroundings
The little town also has a strong medieval background that visitors can explore at their leisure. The Fréjus Cathedral dates back to the earliest days of Christianity in France. You'll see Romanesque architecture that includes a 5th century baptismal basin when you visit.
There's also a Musée Archéologique, where treasures from the past are displayed. A walk around the exhibits provides a captivating insight to the past of this beautiful town.
Fréjus also offers time-travellers an opportunity to step back in time with a 40 kilometre aqueduct that transported water from the Foux and Siagnole Rivers to the ancient Roman Forum Julii.
With all these activities in the campsite itself, and the surrounding areas, Fin's family had a wonderful holiday. Camping holidays are the ideal holidays to bring loved ones closer – and this trip certainly did that. Fin's only additional recommendation is for visitors to hire a car if they stay at Domaine de la Bergerie. There's so much to explore!
Camping Les Cigales
Our fellow Campsited colleague, James travelled with his extended family to a campsite in the heart of Provence called Camping Les Cigales.
Their transfer company called Get Transfer met them at Nice airport. The campsite is approximately 70 kilometres from the airport and the cost was €200 return.
The family booked cabins that were close to each other, as well as to the swimming pools and restaurant areas. The standard of the cabins is very high, with lots of shade to counteract the midday heat. However they were really only used for sleeping in and enjoying a meal or snack on each other's comfortable verandas.
After all, with eight pools, a lazy river and four slides on the campsite, this was always going to be a camping holiday spent in the outdoors. Swimming was the order of the day! The campsite also has plenty of lifeguards stationed around each pool. This greatly reassures parents and provides kids with loads of freedom to enjoy the water.
James' family also shared stories of the fun and energetic entertainment team that set up activities for the campsite's guests everyday. These activities were run in French but a special effort was made to include English speakers.
Every morning, an exercise class was held at 10am. Pool games commenced at 12pm, and sports activities, including football, were held for the kids in the evenings.
The site's excellent facilities also meant that James and his family could arrange their own family activities. Thanks to camping in a large group, they had the numbers to play basketball and tennis games.
Camping Les Cigales is set in picturesque grounds. And, as if there could be any doubt about the beauty of camping in the south of France, this campsite is surrounded by rows and rows of vineyards. This majestic scenery provides a stunning view and a variety of walking and jogging paths.
Saint Tropez and Cannes are both accessible from the campsite via bus, train and ferry routes. They're close enough to make ideal day trips.
Due to the number of young children and babies in the family group, and the extensive variety of facilities in the campsite, James' family spent most of their time there.
The on-site ship sold all the essentials, which ensured that the families could prepare food and eat on their verandas. Alfresco dining in the sun is always a holiday highlight!
One or two evening meals were also enjoyed at the camp restaurant, which provided a menu suitable for all the ages. A large supermarket is located 10 minutes away from the campsite, and is easy to get to by taxi, for larger shopping trips.
Overall, James' family stayed for two weeks at Camping Les Cigales. The consensus from each person in the group, from youngest to oldest was: F.A.N.T.A.S.T.I.C. holiday!
Thanks to Fin and James, we know where we would like to go the moment we can travel again. But it might be for a bit longer than two weeks… #justsaying.

Buyout barons ride market to $2.6 billion payday
March 4, 2014 | Kayla Tausche, NBR, CNBC.com

Think bank executives bring home the bacon? Think again.
The five chief executives running Wall Street's largest banks will rake in just 3 percent of what their peers at private equity firms stand to make from 2013.
Collectively, the nine founders and chiefs of the publicly traded private equity firms saw their compensation rise to $2.6 billion in 2013, as healthy dividend and profit payouts were matched by a roaring stock market friendly to taking their companies public.
(Read more: 'Wolf of Wall Street' went too far: Lawsuit)
Leading the pack is Leon Black, founder and chief executive of the Apollo Group. Black made an eye-popping $546.3 million last year, more than double what he earned in 2012, according to regulatory filings. His gains came alongside those of Apollo shareholders: Black earned $369 million from the annual dividends on more than 92 million Apollo shares he owns.
Apollo also sold new shares for the first time since its 2012 IPO, which created a windfall for Apollo co-founders Josh Harris (who earned $396.7 million) and Marc Rowan ($365.8 million).
Most private equity "compensation" doesn't come from a base salary, but a wide range of assets: Founders not only have shares they own and may sell, they also have personal stakes in individual funds, on which they earn a "carry," or a sizeable portion of the fund's profits.
(Read more: Inside a Wall Street 'secret society' party)
Roughly $22 million of Blackstone Group Chairman Steve Schwarzman's $375 million payday came from carried interest; Schwarzman, too, reaped the most of earnings through dividend payouts. As did co-founders of the Carlyle Group – Bill Conway, Daniel D'Aniello and David Rubenstein – who each got some $93 million in dividends and will split total earnings of roughly $750 million. (To boot, Carlyle announced Monday night that Conway and D'Aniello would look to sell an additional $43 million in CG shares apiece.)
George Roberts and Henry Kravis, the Oklahoma natives and cousins that started Kohlberg, Kravis & Roberts, will take home more than $160 million each – the most since the firm went public.
On average, private equity compensation had been estimated to rise up to 10 percent, according to compensation consultancy Johnson & Associates – healthy gains, but hardly the wealth creation enjoyed by the elite founding few.
(Read more: Barclays easing up workload on junior bankers)
Private equity has always been a lucrative alternative to Wall Street: Many entry-level analysts begin interviewing for jobs at the top firms almost immediately after starting at the banks, seeking the higher pay and better hours.
After the financial crisis, Wall Street compensation became fuel for public debate, with everyday citizens balking at multi-million dollar paydays for executives whose companies received government bailouts. In 2012, Citigroup shareholders voted against then-CEO Vikram Pandit receiving a $15 million pay package for the prior fiscal year.
Pay for bulge-bracket bank executives has risen steadily since then, and mostly in lock-step with the companies' profit gains and share price increases.
By comparison, Wall Street executives stand to make less than $100 million, after their cash bonuses are disclosed in annual proxies. It's a debatable – but David – of a number, compared to the Goliaths across the Street.

Extreme weather wreaks havoc on Carrocci Hall
By Murphy Obershaw, A&E Editor
The extreme cold caused an extreme mess in Carrocci Hall and Fugate over the past week.
It started a week ago on Feb. 11, when a pipe burst on the first floor of Carrocci and left the first floor flooded. On Wednesday, another pipe burst, this time on the third floor of Fugate in the south stairwell.
As the Carrocci lobby filled with water after the pipe burst last week, the fire alarm also started to go off, and when firefighters arrived on the scene, they shut off the water and the power to the elevators because the water was leaking into the voltage box.
Resident Assistant Breanna Zarchan was in the lobby when it happened.
"I was sitting at the desk for my duty hour and all of a sudden, a pipe fell from the ceiling, and then a whole bunch of water started coming in...So there was probably about two inches of standing water when it was first happening," she said.
Carrocci residents were informed by their individual floor RAs that they were not allowed to use the front entrance to Carrocci and they would be fined if they did.
The fire alarms for the first floor were turned off on Thursday night, so Zarchan, Interim Director of Residence Life Turner Middendorf and Fugate RA Jon Coufal took turns doing hourly checks of the first floor.
Fans are now positioned around the first floor lobby to dry the area.
"There was a fair amount of damage in the first floor lobby, but nothing that couldn't be restored!" Middendorf said in an email.
The heat was turned up to prevent more pipe bursts, but the cold temperature outside mixed with the heat inside and caused the doors leading inside the building to become coated with ice.
The lobby and elevators are still closed, but the laundry room is open. Middendorf hopes they will be able to reopen the lobby late next week.
While Carrocci was recovering from its disaster, Fugate had its own.
"We are still assessing the damage. A couple rooms did get water in them, but to my understanding, nobody's personal belongings were damaged in any way," Middendorf said in an email.
The water was shut off in Carrocci on Wednesday from 7:30 a.m. to noon so the fire sprinklers could be replaced after the pipe burst.
When the pipe first burst in Carrocci, it was an intense moment.
"Initially when it happened, it scared me, you know, something falling from the ceiling and then a ton of water," Zarchan said. "But I called Turner as soon as it happened, and I feel like we handled it really well. It was overwhelming. There was a lot of stuff, but it went okay."
First floor resident Trevor Fenner said the mess didn't cause him too many problems.
"The only way it has affected me is the lobby being closed," he said in a text. "We used the lobby quite a bit playing Ping-Pong and just hanging out."

Bourges Boulevard floods again
Why Bourges Boulevard continues to flood – some possible reasons
It is remarkable that Peterborough City Council and Anglian Water can't seem to get together to clear and improve drainage on Bourges Boulevard just south of the roundabout at Town Bridge. Flooding at this location often happens in very heavy rain and is reported in the local paper, which used to have its big blue sign on a fancy modern office overlooking the roundabout. (The Peterborough Telegraph has since moved out of the city centre.)
So what is going wrong?
Are Anglian Water and the City Council not talking to one another?
It seems maybe not. This is not the only location in the city blighted by what looks like an inter authority communication problem.
Flooding can follow observations of bad smells. It did this time: a reader notes this in a comment to the article. A smell of sewage is a big signal that drains might be blocked somewhere.
So are people not reporting poo pongs to Anglian Water?
Well, oddly, it isn't possible to report or describe this particular phenomenon accurately using Anglian Water's ludicrously coy website. There is no free text field on its reporting forms, and every option avoids any mention of the blocking or the contents of sewers.
I recently tried to report this problem at a different location and stumbled across this inexplicable reporting obstacle. The closest to a poo-stink-likely-to-be-a-drainage-problem I was able to report referred me to the "local drainage authority" (which in Peterborough is Peterborough City Council). Anglian Water's reporting system also asks for my water account details, which are as relevant to a drainage problem wherever I happen to find it as my inside leg measurement. So, a bit cross, I rang them up. I know this is inadequate, but it is all I can recommend at the moment. So
If you smell poo, do a number one and a number two:
one: telephone Anglian Water on 0345 145 145
two: phone Peterborough City Council on 01733 747474
If anyone can identify a not so intrusive email address for Anglian Water, please put it in the comments, below. If you are happy to provide details of your personal water account (if you have one) when reporting an issue in the public realm you can report it using Anglian Water's online form.
Is Peterborough City Council a competent drainage authority?
I'm not sure that the council is aware that when Peterborough Development Corporation handed its brief and assets over to the council, that package included drainage assets and all drainage authority responsibilities. The drainage boards outside the boundary of the council can be found online and there is local democratic involvement in their management: they are active and if there were to be a problem there is a democratic remedy available to local people. Peterborough City Council seems to think that if it ignores them, its drainage assets will look after themselves. This is certainly what happened in Park Ward, when a development on, and its "foundations" in a drain was permitted and the council remarkably failed to assert ownership of the drainage ditch (which it nevertheless clears from time to time). The development made the ditch less manageable and this resulted in a viable long term prospective asset owner walking away. But whatever its position since PDC handed drainage over to it, it has not been able to evade its responsibilities since 2010, when a law was enacted:
"County and Unitary Authorities have been made Lead Local Flood Authorities (LLFAs) under the Flood & Water Management Act 2010 with responsibilities to prepare and maintain a strategy for local flood risk management in their areas; maintain a register of flood management assets; investigate significant local flooding incidents; issue consents for altering, removing or replacing certain structures or features on ordinary watercourses (outside of Internal Drainage Districts) and play a lead role in emergency planning and recovery after a flood event." https://www.ada.org.uk/member_type/local-authorities/
Are Peterborough's elected members aware of the council's inherited drainage responsibilities?
Evidence that they do is welcome.
Is Peterborough City Council adequately funded to manage its drainage responsibilities?
Legacy funding was never made available to the council when PDC was abruptly removed from continuing its work to develop and improve Peterborough. This explains the council's ongoing difficulties funding the maintenance of the landscape the PDC built, including the Green Wheel. Central government has owed the city development infrastructure legacy funding since PDC left. In better economic times, it might have been possible to blur this. But now that the council is up against predictably far heavier rain (due to climate change) and impossible cuts (due to appalling decisions by central government), it makes sense now to claim what's been due. The city has two MPs. The two of them should be able to do this for the city. They should also know whether other unitary authorities are also owed this funding.
So, until I find evidence to the contrary, it is reasonable to conclude that no, it isn't.
Is Peterborough City Council competent to manage drainage and sewer works?
I welcome evidence that it is. The prevalence of sewage pongs suggests it isn't. As do the reports listed on the Anglian Water website, which lists long standing sewer repairs still not completed.

Did Microsoft Vastly Underestimate The Release Date of the Playstation 4 And Enter Damage Control Mode As A Result
There has been much speculation about the PlayStation 4 ever since Sony announced it back in February. Aside from the usual things such as pricing, specs, titles, and features, one of the biggest questions from gamers has been what Microsoft's response would be and when they would announce their new system. Conventional wisdom has Microsoft announcing the successor to the Xbox 360 during the E3 convention this June. In light of the attention Sony is getting with their announced system there has been speculation as to why Microsoft has not decided to make some kind of announcement sooner rather than later.
We checked with various technology and gaming insiders regarding this topic and will naturally nobody was willing to go on record regarding this topic they did provide some very interesting information. The development of a news console involves millions of dollars in research and development as well as a significant amount of outlay in strategic partnerships and other licensing related to the games and hardware for the system. Combine that with the billions of dollars in revenue that can be generated over the lifespan of the console, it is evident why it is important to do everything your power to ensure a stable and successful launch.
From what we have heard there is much speculation that Microsoft may have underestimated Sony as they did not believe that the next PlayStation would be announced as early as it was and did not expect the unit to be shipping to retail in November. Some insiders reported to us that they anticipated and E3 announcement on the system with a release date sometime in 2014 similar to the way that Nintendo announced the follow-up to the Wii at the 2011 E3 with the launch date of November 2012.
As a result, there reportedly has been debate amongst the Xbox team as to the best course of action. It was reported to us that some believe that the system should be delayed six months or so beyond its planned but as yet unannounced launch window so that further refinements could be done to the system. There are also those that are concerned that launching two systems so close to each other might be detrimental to sales as many gamers will only be able to buy one system during the coveted holiday season with the first system to the market having a significant advantage amongst the more casual gaming consumers.
Naturally there are those who also state that the production and release of the new system will continue as originally planned and that the timing of Sony's announcement although unexpected, does not alter in any way the release schedule for the new system.
I had to admit that when I first got the announcement from Sony that they would be making a significant announcement in Feb. by the World Wide Web and to assembled media, it did strike me as a rather unique way of making the announcement. The timing was indeed earlier than I had expected as was the release date. While Sony has indeed fired the first shot in what is to be a hotly debated topic, for now the world can only wait, wonder, and speculate as to what Microsoft's response will be and which are the systems will spark gamers imaginations to become the must own console upon their release. I for one plan to get both systems and look forward to seeing what both companies come up with in the ensuing years as I believe that when the two companies really push one another, then gamers win in the long run from better products.
