Walcott is Arsenal's secret weapon, manager claims

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes Theo Walcott is emerging as a key figure in the north London club's fight to finish third.

The England winger provided vital assists for both his team's goals in the dramatic added-time victory over Newcastle United that moved Wenger's side to within one point of third-placed Tottenham.

Robin Van Persie struck the first from Walcott's cross to claim his 33rd goal of the season.

But while the Arsenal captain has been the dominant figure throughout the Gunners' campaign, Wenger insists Walcott is playing an equally important role.

The Arsenal manager said: "I think people forget about Theo because he is so long in the spotlight that people forget he is 23 years old and he is now getting to an age where you perform.

"It's as simple as that. He develops well because he is intelligent and I feel tactically and technically tonight he played a complete game."

Walcott laid on the last minute cross that was turned home by Thomas Vermaelen to seal a fifth successive Premier League win and maintain Arsenal's recent record of last gasp victories.

Wenger said: "I believe it shows we have quality, we have spirit which I never questioned.

"We had relentless effort from the first to the last minute. The tempo was absolutely top level and kept going until the last second of the game. And certainly the fact we have done that before helped.

"We just kept going and you feel that in the team we have that complete and total commitment to do whatever we can."

And he added: "We played recently against Tottenham, Liverpool, Newcastle, and at Sunderland who are difficult to beat.

"It was tight every time, we won in the last minute at Sunderland, at Liverpool and against Newcastle. What is at stake is complete commitment from every single game and see where we finish."

Van Persie kick-started the recovery after Hatem Ben Arfa had put Newcastle ahead in the 14th minute and was involved in an ongoing argument with visiting keeper Tim Krul that threatened to spill over after the final whistle.

The manager said: "I don't know if it is history from Holland or today's story? I haven't spoken to him yet but I am happy he stayed yellow and didn't turn red.

"He is absolutely committed. He gave absolutely everything tonight and got us an equaliser."

Newcastle have now gone four games without a win and manager Alan Pardew admitted the defeat had ended their hopes of forcing their way into the top four.

Pardew's side lie sixth and are now targeting a Europa League spot.

And the manager said: "You couldn't fault the commitment but we must not let the disappointment of that last minute goal get to us because we have a lot to play for still.

"I'd billed this game for the Champions League we needed to win it, a draw was no good for us, we aren't going to get there, we could make the Europa League and we have to try and win on Saturday and keep our noses in front in that position."

Pardew admitted his side had run out of steam in the final minutes and blamed the winning goal on an injury to right back Danny Simpson.

He said: "Obviously we are very disappointed because we had the ball in their corner in the 94th minute I think it was.

"We had a few problems towards the end of the game. We lost Cheick Tiote to cramp, Danny Simpson had an injury but we had no subs left and we were struggling. And in the end Danny's recovery just couldn't get him back and we conceded the goal."

Woman gives birth to son weighing nearly 14 pounds

(AP) ? A Southern California woman says doctors predicted she would give birth to a big baby boy, but nobody was prepared for just how big.

Jayden Sigler weighed in at 13 pounds, 14 ounces, when the healthy boy was delivered Thursday by cesarean section, the North County Times reported Saturday (http://bit.ly/Amd2Wv ).

His mother, Cynthia Sigler of Vista, said that her immediate reaction was: "How'd he fit?"

Doctors initially estimated that Jayden would weigh about 9 pounds, but that number jumped to 11 by early March, the mother told the newspaper.

Dr. Jerald White, who delivered the baby at Tri-City Medical Center, said Jayden was the biggest of the 20,000 newborns he has helped usher into the world since he started in 1961.

The doctor said delivering a very large baby via cesarean section is more challenging, but "it wasn't so difficult that it created a problem for anybody."

Sigler said her own family didn't believe her at first ? she convinced her cousin it wasn't a joke only after showing a photo of the scale readout.

Jayden's birth weight is almost twice that of his sister, Jailyn, now 2?. She was 7 pounds, 2 ounces at birth.

Sigler said she'll have to exchange all the baby clothes she bought for larger sizes.

A hospital official was unable to immediately determine Friday whether Jayden was the largest baby ever delivered there. It was also not clear where the newborn ranks among the largest babies also born in San Diego County.

iPad dispute signals new era in trademark troubles

SHANGHAI (AP) ? iPotato, isock, icouch, istove, i-you-name-it. An Internet search for "i'' words from A to Z will turn up just about any combination you might think up, from all over the world, only a handful of them related to Apple Inc.

Given its penchant for "iproducts," Apple's current troubles in China over the iPad trademark are not its first, and are unlikely to be its last. China's importance as a major consumer market is bringing fresh headaches for companies, and even celebrities, seeking to protect and claim brand names. That's apart from the usual problems with piracy and other infringements.

Financially troubled Proview Electronics Co., a computer monitor and LED light maker, says it registered the iPad trademark in China and elsewhere more than a decade ago and wants Apple to stop selling or making the popular tablet computers under that name. Apple says Proview sold it worldwide rights to the iPad trademark in 2009, though in China the registration was never transferred.

The number and variety of such disputes is rising as Chinese companies seek to leverage trademarks to their advantage, either for the sake of acquiring attractive brand names or for financial gain, said You Yunting, a lawyer with the Debund Law Office in Shanghai, which specializes in trademarks and patents.

"This is an era of development and people are paying more attention to brand names now," said You. "China is not good at innovation. I'd say Proview would not be suing Apple if its financial situation was fine."

Apple and Proview are battling in Chinese and U.S. courts. Apple's right to make and market the iPad under that name in China may hinge on a pending ruling from the High Court in Guangdong, in southern China. Over the past month, the conflict has escalated with Proview challenging not only Apple's use of the mainland Chinese trademark but also the 2009 deal, which involved worldwide rights to the iPad name.

Whatever the outcome, the dispute highlights the rising stakes of the trademark name game in the increasingly lucrative China consumer market, one that most global companies cannot afford to miss out on regardless of the risks.

"China's been infringing on patents and copyrights and so on from the beginning. Now, it's a globally important market and this is where a lot of companies are depending on for growth," said James McGregor, a senior counselor for consulting firm APCO Worldwide and a former chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in China.

"It's getting more attention now, and maybe some of these infringers are getting more aggressive," he said.

The issue touches practically every type of product or industry.

Former NBA star Michael Jordan is suing a Chinese sportswear maker, Qiaodan Sports Company Ltd., for unauthorized use of his name and images associated with his own brand, such as his old jersey number, "23".

"Qiaodan," pronounced "CHEEOW-dan," is the moniker Jordan has been known by in China since he gained widespread popularity in the mid-1980s.

"I am taking this action to preserve the ownership of my name and my brand," Jordan said in a video clip on his website. "No one should lose control of their own name."

Qiaodan said in a statement that its brand has no direct relationship with Michael Jordan and professed to respect his "athletic achievements and contributions" in basketball.

"I would not say Proview registered its trademarks maliciously, since it did it more than 10 years ago. But I would say that the Qiaodan company did, since Jordan was famous before the company was even founded," said Tao Xinliang, president of the Intellectual Property Institute at Shanghai University.

The craze for grabbing trademarks is of course not confined to China: The recent hoopla over New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin touched off a rush in the U.S. to trademark the "Linsanity" catchphrase ? including a trademark application on Lin's behalf.

But Chinese businesses seem to be taking an especially proactive approach. A maker of basketballs, volleyballs and soccer balls in the east Chinese city of Wuxi registered the "Jeremy S.H.L." trademark ? for Lin's Chinese name Lin Shu-hao ? back in July 2010.

Under China's trademark system, legal experts say, squatters find it easy to claim trademarks they have no intention of using, and then demand that would-be users pay up.

"Abusive registrations" under China's trademark system abound," said Mark Cohen, a visiting professor at Fordham Law School. "In China today there is everything from Apad to Zpad registered or under consideration ? from companies that may not make products that compete with the iPad or make products at all," he said in an emailed commentary.

The problem, said Huang Wushuang, a professor at the Intellectual Property Institute of the East China University of Political Science and Law, in Shanghai, is not with the laws.

"The laws are sound, but some people in China just like to be free riders," Huang said.

Hence such products as the iPhone gas cookers recently found in Wuhan, a city in central China, complete with the iPhone name and famous apple symbol, but none of the device's myriad functions. Or the many fake Apple retail outlets found in many cities.

Some unlikely sounding iproducts are apps, like the social media "hot potato" game called iPotato.

In contrast, Proview registered its ipad trademark for its own "Internet Personal Access Device," part of its "iFamily" range of products launched around 2000, long before Apple came up with its popular tablet computer.

With the iPad 3's launch looming, many in China are expecting Apple to settle with Proview, as it has in past trademark scrapes. "It will be costly if Apple loses, and not being able to sell the iPad under that name here in China, such a big growing market, would hurt the company's image," said Tao.

A ruling against Apple in Guangdong could also oblige the company to only add its famous logo to the machines after they are exported from China, said Huang.

Many in China believe Apple will settle with Proview to avoid disruptions in its marketing and supply chain. Proview has repeatedly announced its willingness to settle. It appears desperate as Taiwan's Fubon Insurance Co., one of the company's major creditors, has moved to have the ailing computer monitor maker liquidated.

Others say Apple may feel giving in to Proview would set a dangerous precedent given the size of the Chinese market and its importance. Apple has limited its comments on the Proview dispute to a terse, two-sentence statement.

"They have to try to draw the line somewhere. What's the next guy going to do?" said McGregor. "If you're a big company like Apple ... it's like the U.S. not giving in to terrorism; they may not give in to frivolous lawsuits because then you just invite other people to do the same."

FCC Ruling on Cutting Cell Service Could Set a Dangerous Precedent

By Lauren Ames ? Mar 5th, 2012 ? Category: Uncategorized

On Friday, the Federal Communications Commission asked for public comment on whether police or a public agency should be able to shut down cell phone and internet service to protect public safety.? The issue came to the FCC?s attention after the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) turned off cell phone service for three hours last August to discourage a citizen protest against the fatal shooting of a man by a BART police officer.

Not only does cutting cell phone service violate the FCC?s ban on cell phone jammers or other communication interference; BART?s policy is reminiscent of the same suppression of free speech used during the Arab Spring protests last year.? For instance, President Mubarak suspended Egypt?s internet and cell phone access on January 29, 2011 in response to escalating protests against his regime, shortly before he resigned and transferred control to the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.[1] Similarly, Iran limited internet access during protests of its 2009 presidential elections.[2] Cell phones and the internet greatly contributed to the success of the Arab Spring by facilitating free speech.? Limiting public dissent by blocking mobile communication is not only unconstitutional; it puts the United States in the same category as these authoritarian regimes.

BART argues that turning off service protects ?the safety of district passengers, employees and other members of the public,? preventing substantial disruption of transit services and thwarting attempts to destroy District property.? This policy not only conflicts with the FCC?s mission to promote the availability and openness of communications networks, but also does not take into account other safety risks posed by turning off cell phone service.

Seventy percent of 9-1-1 calls are now made by wireless phones ? turning off cellular service would prevent citizens from making necessary emergency calls for an ambulance, law enforcement assistance or to a fire station.[3] Shutting down mobile service during a protest inherently interferes with free speech, preventing those who dissent with an agency?s opinion from joining others who would share their views.

The protection of free speech could be weighed against the District?s desire to adequately protect public safety.? However, if applied to protests for this reason, then any large gathering could carry the risk of substantially disrupting public transit services or of destroying District property.? To be consistent, BART would have to turn off cellular service after a 49ers game.

A broad policy of limiting or shutting down cell phone service or internet by a government agency poses serious risks to free speech, public safety and free communication and contradicts the FCC?s past policies.

Make Your Dreams Online With Online Education

An overview of online engineering degrees, online technology degrees and online counselling degrees with their pros and cons, and the future prospects.

Almost half of the world has shifted to online. People who reside in adjacent rooms like to get acquainted to each other through online more than talking to each other in person. It?s the same with any other field. So why education must remain a field behind any other in this race of being online, after all it?s the world of web and internet. So, to match pace, even the degrees that were considered to be undone without being practical are being taught online and have been successful. It would be more pragmatic to include degrees like online engineering degrees, online technology degrees, and online counselling degrees to include in this list.

All the three above mentioned degrees viz.

online engineering degrees, online technology degrees, and online counselling degrees are provided by online based legitimate schools like Apollo career centre, Devry University, and Grand Canyon University and many more which provides the online education classes . These degrees are very forgiving to students who have different constraints and still want to pursue the courses and earn a degree. Students who have financial bondages, or who cannot leave their homes to pursue a degree, or in other cases where the student doesn?t have enough grades to apply for a real time degree courses in such fields, this kind of degree is a boon for them.

These web based degrees are very handy for students as well as they have opened a whole new space of business as well as employment.

Apart from these benefits, there is one more very significant benefit that lingers to the online degrees. It is known that people remain deprived of knowledge and the world unless they reach out to them. But it is not possible for everyone to show the courage and come out to seek something. These online engineering degrees, online technology degree and online counselling degrees can be thought of as very fulfilling in such areas, because internet is a thing which can be made within the reach of a larger range of people. Governments have been working on them. So this way it becomes easy for everyone to acquire even the pragmatic knowledge and serve their communities.

As we can understand that online education schools , open universities, online courses are also absolutely flexible. In fact they provide more flexibility rather than that of the open universities at some points. Yet there are some negative facts which have been acting as obstacles in flourishing this kind of education. One very big shortcoming in such kind of education will be the lack of practice which is very obvious owing to the fact that students would not have any exposure to the equipments and labs to carry out experiments to understand the concepts pragmatically. This may very well degrade the whole essence of being an engineer or a technical professional.

The counselling course practices however can be done in their homes and locality if the student is truly interested in earning knowledge. Another short point is that because the concept is completely new, people have not been able to grasp it completely and are still trying to digest it. Meanwhile, it remains less reputed compared to the real time education system.
