Veteran smartphone manufacturer BlackBerry says it's moving away from producing its own handsets and will instead license its software to other companies.
In a blog post, BlackBerry Chief Operating Officer Ralph Pini wrote "we are transitioning from doing internal handset hardware development to leveraging our third party partner to provide that function. This is what the future looks like for our business, and it is the right move as we progress towards profitability. This will enable our resources to focus all efforts on providing state-of-the-art security software for devices and the enterprise of things, as well as work on other critical areas of the company."
The first deal is with an Indonesian partner, BB Merah Putih, which is led by PT Tiphone Mobile Indonesia Tbk, a leading telecommunications distributor in Indonesia.
John Chen, BlackBerry's Executive Chairman and CEO, said "BlackBerry is no longer just about the smartphone, but the smart in the phone. Working with trusted partners to extend the reach and availability of our secure mobility software remains a key focus for the Mobility Solutions unit and this joint venture is just one of our next steps in making our software licensing strategy successful."

Mark Windle, head of marketing at OpenCloud, predicts that this year's reduction in the number of traditional telecoms operators in some countries will provide an opportunity for other operators to innovate and capture market share in 2016.
He says next year will be a year of rapid change for telecoms… whether it's MVNO disruption, competitive tariff pricing or simply defence from the 'dark art' of hacking.

That's where Kapture can help.

When I look closer, I can see it's a printed copy of the Wall Street Journal's mobile website. That's a lot of scrolling to do... and a pretty unfriendly user experience for anyone reading the news online. Why does it work so badly?
Here's an edited transcript of our new monthly podcast, broadcast on 30th January 2015.
[Iain Graham]: Hello, it's Friday 30th January 2015. Welcome to this month's edition of The Fonecast. That's right, you heard correctly: we've temporarily moved to a monthly format. If you'd like to join 51Degrees in sponsoring the podcast and returning us to weekly programmes, please get in touch via our website. Now, on with the show.
What's the secret of Apple's success? That's the question I was asked earlier this week by LBC radio during a report on Apple's impressive iPhone sales and its record quarterly results.
So here are six reasons I think Apple is doing so well at the moment.
Iain Graham, James Rosewell and Mark Bridge return to review their mobile industry predictions from last year. Which mergers, partnerships and developments did they forecast correctly... and which didn't work out as planned?
Later in the programme, the team anticipates some of the topics that will be hitting the headlines during 2016.
Mark Bridge learns about the mobile technology trends at Mobile World Congress 2015 by chatting to James Rosewell of 51Degrees, Dr Kevin Curran from the IEEE and Chris Millington of Doro.
They talk about wearable devices, wireless charging, mobile operating systems and much more... including some of their favourite products from the exhibition.
We're taking a look back at the biggest mobile industry news stories from February 2015, including allegations that the UK's security service tried to breach SIM card security by hacking into one of the world's biggest SIM producers.
We also talk about the planned BT and EE merger, the creation of two new UK virtual networks, some acquisitions in the mobile payment arena and a new Ubuntu smartphone.
In today's programme Mark Bridge talks to Chris Millington, who's Managing Director for Doro UK and Ireland.
They discuss the state of mobile retailing in the UK, the future of wearable devices and - as you might expect - smartphones for seniors.
We're back with a month of mobile industry news, including takeover talks and takeover rumours. O2 and Three are said to be discussing a merger... but is there any truth in the suggestions that BlackBerry could be up for grabs?
We also discuss Apple's record-breaking quarterly figures, the highlights of CES and the launch of Microsoft Windows 10, as well as saying farewell to the current version of Google Glass.

PHILADELPHIA — A lawyer convicted of selling high-end wine from his home cellar despite strict Pennsylvania liquor laws hopes to win back the seized collection before it's destroyed.
Arthur Goldman's collection is estimated to be worth $125,000 or more, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported in a story Friday. The lot includes rare vintages not sold in Pennsylvania's state-run wine stores.
Police seized nearly 2,500 bottles from Goldman after making undercover buys at his Malvern home. Goldman, 50, has pleaded guilty to several related misdemeanors and been sentenced to probation and community service.
State law calls for all contraband liquor to be destroyed. Wine enthusiasts blanch at the thought.
"It's not like we're talking about cocaine or heroin here," said Tom Wark, executive director for the American Wine Consumer Coalition. "We're talking about a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from the 2012 vintage."
Goldman circulated his offerings to about 20 people on his email list. One buyer proved to be an undercover police officer.
"It was more 15 to 20 people who liked wine like Art, who he would get the wine for," defense lawyer Peter Kratsa said.
Chester County prosecutors, though, described the operation as a high-volume business designed to make money.
Pennsylvania is one of 10 states to ban wineries from shipping directly to customers and one of two, along with Utah, that exclusively controls wine and liquor sales. Efforts to privatize the industry have languished.
Kratsa vowed to go to trial to win back his client's collection, minus the bottles actually sold to state police. He said much of the wine is from Goldman's private collection and was never listed for sale. And he said Goldman bought many of the prized bottles when he lived in New Jersey.
For now, police have the wine stashed in an evidence room.
"At this point, the state police do not believe there is an obligation to store it in a climate-controlled environment," said Sgt. Dan Steele, district commander of the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement office in Philadelphia. "But it is being secured at room temperature."

DOVER — The Dover High School boys hockey team needs to think long and hard about life outside of the box.
Because this life inside the box thing is enough to drive one crazy.
The Green Wave held off Windham/Pelham, 3-2, Saturday in Division II action at the Dover Ice Arena. And they did it the hard way.
Dover's Robert Markusic received a five-minute major for tripping with 6:23 to play and the Green Wave (5-0-1) clinging to a 3-2 lead. The Wolfpack were already in the penalty box, but when that cleared they had 3;31 of a man advantage. It good better for the visitors when Dover's Sam Bovee went off for interference, giving them two full minutes of a two-man advantage.
W/P (3-2-1) could not capitalize.
Dover sophomore goalie Luc Ravenelle (28 saves) made several big saves and the Green Wave penalty-kill unit helped to stave off the Wolfpack attack, which featured a crossing pass through the crease with 10 seconds to play that went untouched.
"We were definitely short-handed," said Dover coach Steve Riker. "The (game) sheet's pretty full. ... That was my message to the boys after the game. We faced some pretty big adversity in the third period and got out of there. That's going to help us, maybe next week, maybe in three weeks, maybe next month, Who knows. We're going to have to draw on that again."
It was a sloppy undisciplined game, played with players on both sides earning time in the penalty box.
W/P had the third-period two-man advantage, but it also had a 1:51 stretch in the first period it was unable to cash in on and another 1:10 stretch in the second.
Ravenelle was instrumental in the Dover penalty kill in all three periods.
"I was trying to do my job and make sure they didn't score," Ravenelle said. "We fought hard in the corners and didn't let them get the greatest shots off. (The defense) gave me good shots to block. I didn't try and think about it too much."
Dover had two separate two-man advantages in the first. The first was for 1:04, a sequence it eventually scored on with a one-man advantage. Later they had a two-man for 1:48, but did not score, although Andrew Ibechem hit a post.
Ironically, the Green Wave scored the eventual game-winner with a short-handed tally in the third period. Up 2-1, Cam Crowley carried the puck down the left side, fired a shot on W/P goalie Michael Donovan. The rebound came right back to Crowley who placed it into the right corner for the 3-1 lead at 7:25 from Sam Bovee and Sam Kendall.
Crowley was surprised to see the rebound come right back to him.
"I was," he said. "It came right back to me. It was a nice little push right in front of the net, but it was nice work by the D to get it out."
The Wolfpack called time and responded 20 seconds later when Steve Barton's shot from the right point was deflected in by Porter Carelli to make it a one-goal game.
"We'll take it," Riker added. "We knew they were going to be good. They beat us in the jamboree, 3-1, in a 20-minute period. They do a lot of little things right. I like the way they play. They play a bit like us, which could explain why the sheet's full. Two teams that are pretty similar coming together."
Dover took a 1-0 lead in the first period on Bovee's power-play slapper from the left point that went passed a screened Donovan. Mitchell Welch picked up the assist.
W/P tied it up at 10:33 of the second period on the power play, when Dustin Lubinger scored from Carelli and Nick Neary. The Wolfpack actually had another two-man advantage, this time for 1:10, but again could not score.
Their goal came when Lubinger fired a nice shot near the left post into the right corner.
Dover did not let them savor the equalizer long. Fifty seconds later Alec Parmer put the Green Wave back up, scoring on a shot to the left corner during a mixup in front from Joe Johnston.
"We threw everything we had at them," said W/P coach Dan Molinari. "They did a good job defending it. Their goalie kept them in it. We shot too much at the goalie's chest. We need to be a little bit tougher around that net. Dover did a good job of clearing us out in front."
Dover is back in action Wednesday home against Winnacunnet.

Brent provides
a summary solution when he announces "I think well put you on Itchy"
and begins to lead a chestnut colored quarter horse out of the compound.
He ties the horse to a fence and hands the visitor two brushes. With a
few tips on grooming Brent leaves rider and horse to get to know one another
and begins to saddle his own steed, a wildly spotted appaloosa named Doctor
Once the animals are saddled
Brent watches his guest hoist himself onto a horse for the first time.
After a few minutes of instruction theyre off. The ride begins with
a lap around a pasture before they head into the woods for an hour-long
trail ride.
Its a typical ride for
Brent, a 48-year-old former veterinarians assistant, construction
worker and western relics and art dealer, who operates the Medicine Hat
Trading Company Trail Ride from his home near Carthage.
After years of what he describes
as a troubled life without purpose Brent finally fullfilled a dream of
owning a ranch and a home of his own. An inheritance from his father allowed
him to buy land. Equally important was the "therapy" provided by Doctor
Speck who listened to Brent sort things outduring their rides together.
In time, a friend asked Brent
to teach his son to ride. That event led to the formation of the Medicine
Hat Trail Ride.
"I had the young boy riding
and handling a horse so well his father said Why arent you
doing this for a living?"
Open for business just one
year, Brent charges $20 per rider for a guided one-hour trail ride. Typically
hell take no more than six people at a time and limits his horses
to three outings a day. Each ride includes basic instruction if needed.
Accompanied by one or two of
his dogs, Brent leads riders among the trees, up and down slopes and even
across a creek. The pace is leisurely rarely faster than a walk
and Brent offers guidance when hes not pointing out features
of the landscape. An hour later the new rider has gained confidence and
the satisfaction of overcoming the unknown.
"The joy of teaching somebody
to ride is helping them overcome a fear by doing the thing that theyre
afraid of," the Barton Country Electric Co-op member says. "When they
come in off the ride theyve actually established some real self
assurance of their capabilities. Its pretty neat."
Unlike most of the trail rides
in Missouri, Brents ride caters to beginners. He does not usually
allow guests to bring their own horses but relies on his own stable which
he trusts with new riders. "Ive trained my horses. They are care
givers and teachers and baby sitters," Brent says.
While many of his customers
are just looking for recreation, others want to try riding before buying
a horse. "I offer the opportunity to get some experience before you invest
in a horse, the trailer, the land, the boarding, the tack," Brent says.
Brents real specialty,
though, is teaching children to ride. In fact, his typical customer is
a 10-year-old child.
A large man with long hair
and a look reminiscent of an American Indian, Brent says kids are often
taken back by his appearance. The impression grows stronger when he shows
kids and their parents his one-room log cabin decorated with animal skins,
mounts and Indian and cowboy artifacts.
"They take this all in and
I think they wonder what kind of knife I carry and whether theyre
going to end up as a mount or a skin," Brent says.
The children have nothing to
fear. Brent, who also teaches tennis, offers instruction with patience
and understanding.
"I never belittle a child.
If a kid doesnt want to ride I en-courage him to get down and enjoy
the rest of the day while hes here," says Brent. "Nobody guilts
him or shames him. Its OK to be afraid."
Its an approach thats
not lost on parents.
"Hes very good with kids
and people and the horses out here and does a really good job," says Andy
Smallwood of Carthage whose 9-year-old daughter, Hannah, is a regular
at the Medicine Hat Trail Ride.
"This is the highlight of her
week, to come out here and ride. Hes taught Hannah a lot about horses,
not just riding."
Indeed, unlike pony rides or riding sessions in a horse ring, Brents
rides offer a more realistic and involved encounter for the beginning
"Its pretty much hands
on. You go from learning how to groom and prep a horse for riding to the
tacking to the trail," Brent says. "You get to experience how to pay attention
to the horses senses and the signs hell give you with his ears and
his tail, things you dont get in a controlled environment."
For some, Brents trail
ride provides a diversion on a family trip or a chance to try something
new. For Brent, teaching people to ride fulfills a need in him.
"A good Indian friend of mine
says theres two important times in a mans life. One is when
hes born and the other is when he knows why," Brent says. "Ive
found mine."

A year ago, Rutgers went into its regular-season finale against Louisville knowing its bowl fate.
That won't be the case this year.
Regardless of what shakes out this weekend before their Dec. 4 ESPN Thursday Night primetime affair with Louisville, Rutgers will be playing for something meaningful.
And by kickoff, the Scarlet Knights may know exactly which bowl they're playing for.
Barring major upsets on the college football landscape — namely Cincinnati losing to Syracuse and Notre Dame beating No. 5 Southern Cal — Rutgers' likely destination with a win over Louisville will be the Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte, N.C., a Big East official and high-ranking bowl representative told Gannett New Jersey newspapers on Monday.
With the University of South Florida beating Connecticut on Sunday night, St. Petersburg, Fla., is no longer in the equation for Rutgers. South Florida will stay home to play in the inaugural St. Petersburg Bowl, according to a Big East official with knowledge of the bowl pecking order.
A Rutgers win also will mean that the Sun Bowl — the Big East's runner-up spot now that the Gator Bowl plans on taking a team from the Big 12 — has no choice but to take a Big East team over Notre Dame.
That Big East team, according to a league official familiar with the Sun Bowl's thinking, will be West Virginia.
A high-ranking bowl official told Gannett New Jersey that the Meineke will invite Rutgers in this scenario.
The Meineke Car Care Bowl, scheduled for Dec. 27 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, will match up teams from the Big East and Atlantic Coast Conference. Should North Carolina State win at home over Miami on Saturday, the Wolfpack would be the favorites to be the Meineke's ACC representative, multiple officials said.
If N.C. State loses, as many as five ACC teams could be in play, including Clemson, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Virginia Tech and Virginia. According to a bowl official, the Meineke wouldn't be adverse to pitting Rutgers and North Carolina — a rematch of a game won handily by the Tar Heels in early September.
All of this is assuming that Cincinnati beats Syracuse to earn the Big East's BCS berth, Notre Dame loses to No. 5 Southern Cal to fall out of the Big East bowl picture, and West Virginia at least splits its final two games (at Pitt this Saturday, vs. USF on Dec. 6).
Should Cincinnati lose, West Virginia and Pitt still could win the Big East title. If Notre Dame upsets Southern Cal, the Sun Bowl will invite the Irish before they leave the Los Angeles Coliseum on Saturday night.
In the latter scenario, the Meineke would take travel-proven West Virginia over Rutgers, a bowl official said.
The same bowl official said the Meineke is only eyeing West Virginia and Rutgers from the Big East. Pittsburgh and Connecticut are not options, the bowl official said.
Should Notre Dame take the Sun and West Virgina take the Meineke, a 7-5 Rutgers team would go to either the PapaJohns.com Bowl in Birmingham or to a bowl not affiliated with the Big East.
As for what happens if Rutgers loses to Louisville, that would open the door for the Sun Bowl to take 6-win Notre Dame since there would be only five Big East teams with seven or more wins. By rule, the league's runner-up bowl can't take 6-win Notre Dame if it keeps a 7-5 Big East team out of its bowl lineup and that wouldn't be the case if Rutgers loses.
With 6-5 Rutgers looking to improve its bowl standing and 5-6 Louisville needing a win to become bowl-eligible, the stakes for the Dec. 4 matchup at Rutgers Stadium are a far cry from last season, when the Scarlet Knights knew they were International Bowl-bound win or lose.
Though Louisville became bowl-eligible with a 41-38 win last year, the Cardinals were left without a postseason berth due to a lack of available bowls outside the Big East.
That's not expected to be the case this season. Should Louisville beat Rutgers, both would likely have to look for an available bowl outside the Big East, but league officials are confident that all of its bowl-eligible teams will receive an invite since as many as seven bowls with ties to other BCS conferences (3 in the Pac 10, 2 each in Big 12 and SEC) could be open.
Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, for one, isn't about to assess all the different bowl scenarios yet.
"I am not overly concerned with that right now," Schiano said Monday. The Scarlet Knights coach added his only concern is preparing for Louisville.
"I still have a lot of preparation to do but you can see that their front on defense is very physical, very strong," Schiano offered. "And then offensively their quarterback has a big arm and they have really a good mix of speed and some big size in the tailback spot. We're going to have our hands full."

The fifth annual "Rides 'n Smiles" eventrolled into the Homestead-Miami Speedway rolled into the Homestead-Miami Speedway on Nov. 10 and once again it lived up to its name —- putting happy smiles on the faces of deserving children faced with serious medical problems.
The event is organized by the Southern Automotive Media Association (SAMA) in an effort to bring a few hours of joy and happiness to the lives of children fighting cancer and other debilitating diseases. "Rides 'n Smiles" was the brainchild of SAMA vice president and racing legend Bill Adam, who expanded this year's event to not only include invitations to 170 children from Baptist Hospital and Miami Children's Hospital, but also to veterans and soldiers through the Wounded Warrior program.
Nothing can describe the feeling that you get when you see the expression of pure joy on the faces of the kids after their first ride. One driver had a pretty young girl strapped into his car by one of the Army Ranger volunteers who also was attending the event for the day. Noticing that she appeared autistic, he tried to make conversation. "Do you have a favorite car?" he asked. "Are you having fun?"
The girl did not respond. Oh well, he thought, this will be a quiet ride. By the third corner she turned and looked at him with a wide grin and said simply, "Faster, please!" That smile was what the day was all about.
SAMA members volunteer their time to organize the event, fill a few hundred goody bags, make sure everything happens on schedule and drive the cars all day. More than two dozen of the most luxurious and desirable sports cars imaginable – from Chevrolet Corvettes and Dodge Vipers to Nissan GT-Rs and Mercedes Benz SLKs and even a few bonafide racing machines – are donated for the day by auto manufacturers, racing teams and even private owners. The ailing children and the Wounded Warriors are given three laps around the Homestead track at breakneck speed, effectively transporting them to an exotic world of speed and excitement and taking their minds away from their illness and injuries. Adam's connections with the U.S. Air Force even ensured that a squadron of F-16 fighter jets would make a flyover of the Homestead-Miami Speedway during the lunch break to add just one more element of speed and excitement to the day's events.
From a Fiat 500 and Mazda Miata convertibles to a Nissan GT-R and a Porsche Carrera GT, there was an exotic car available to satisfy anybody's automotive desire. Adam's racing pals even brought in several actual race cars and ran a few demonstration laps, even taking a few guests for very quick rides around the track course. One car owner who had planned on simply displaying his classic 1970 Lamborghini Miura S – worth about $4 million to collectors – actually took a few lucky kids for rides in the car. I wonder if anyone appreciated the sound of those Weber carbs singing at full song as much as he did.
It was a great day and a wonderful event! Each child left with an official certificate from the Homestead-Miami Speedway certifying that they had joined the 100 mph club on that special day. They also left with some great memories and stories to tell their friends.
Rides 'n Smiles has traditionally been held after the last NASCAR Cup race at Homestead Speedway. This year it was moved up to the weekend preceding the race. Whether it was genius planning or just a lucky miracle, that meant it took place during the Miami Auto Show when most of the manufacturers' representatives were in Miami. So, for the first time, many of them were able to experience what Rides 'n Smiles was all about. Lisa Barrow from Chrysler, Steve Parrett from Nissan and Araba Dowell from General Motors were all in attendance, while Hyundai Motor America representatives brought coffee and donuts in the morning, then provided a delicious catered lunch for everyone – event volunteers, soldiers and the kids and their families.
Of course, Rides 'n Smiles would not happen without the support and assistance of the wonderful people at the Homestead- Miami Speedway who believe this event is important enough to provide the free use of the track and facilities for the day. In addition to the donation of the track, Rides 'n Smiles was made possible this year by the generosity of auto manufacturers Hyundai, Nissan, Chrysler, Porsche, GM, Ford, BMW, Jaguar and Mercedes Benz, as well as many individuals and professional racing teams who provided vehicles for the event.
The toughest part of the day was that it had to end. But, one thing was certain — everyone was making plans to return to the Homestead-Miami Speedway in 2013 and do it all over again for the sixth edition of Rides 'n Smiles.

Credit card issuer Visa USA plans to create a global IT center in Austin, Texas, and hire about 800 workers to run it.
Visa's agreement with the state for its Global IT Center sets year-by-year average annualized compensation, including performance-based or other bonuses paid and excluding health insurance and retirement benefits, for all new full-time hires. The average salaries must not be less than the following amounts listed on Dec. 31 of the applicable year.
Under an agreement with the state, Visa intends to renovate 175,000 square feet of office space in Visa, and to invest $27.2 million by the end of 2015.
In exchange, Visa is getting state and local assistance, including $7.9 million through a state enterprise program. The amount of aid is based on what the state expects to receive in increased sales tax revenue.
There are strings attached to the aid.
The state development agreement, announced last week, spells out some specific terms, including annualized compensation for workers hired by Visa.
The average wages of employees at the new IT center, excluding health and retirement benefits, can't be less than $96,469 in 2013, rising to $129,775 in 2022.
The agreement calls for "a grand total of 841 full-time jobs" by the end of 2017. Visa employs about 7,500.
A Visa spokeswoman declined to provide any details on the types of jobs that they'll be filling.
In terms of recruitment, Visa is obligated to make "commercially reasonable efforts" to work with non-profit organizations to help find IT professionals.
The city evidently hopes that most of the hires will be local.

The action had to be halted at Meadows Racetrack in western Pennsylvania last Wednesday, as three lost deer somehow found their way onto the track. They poked around the final turn before bolting the wrong way around the track. Then, on the backstretch, they stopped and turned around. It went like this for a while.
Announcer Roger Huston had his fun, mock-calling the single-file "race."
"It's funny, when you're trying to think of stuff. The only two deer I could think of was Rudolph and Bambi," said Huston, the Meadows announcer. "I forgot Dancer, Prancer, Vixen and all those others."

Massachusetts has long held a special status in the debate about President Obama's health care law. It was a 2006 Massachusetts law that provided the inspiration for the 2010 national law, and Massachusetts already had near-universal coverage before the federal law took effect.
Now the state that gave birth to a sweeping expansion of health coverage nationally is trying to knit the two laws together and struggling to make sure no resident falls through the insurance net.
At the center of their frustration is a glitchy website that has forced the state to rely on workarounds to ensure access to coverage.
About 5,400 shoppers were able to enroll in health care plans through the Massachusetts Health Connector by the end of December, according to a report by the federal Health and Human Services Department. Of those, 31 percent were between the ages of 18 and 34.
But state health officials say that the number of new people who were able access to subsidized coverage through the Connector and MassHealth programs despite the website problems was higher — about 28,000.
Even so, 26,000 other people ran into technical roadblocks and had to be enrolled in temporary subsidized coverage through MassHealth, the state's Medicaid program.
Officials say they're focused on improving those numbers before March 31, when the federal health care law's first open enrollment season ends.
Jean Yang, executive director of the Health Connector, said the agency had to come up with creative ways to work around the website failures.
That included increasing call center capacity to help people who were unable to use the website. On Dec. 31, there were about 200 call center staff on hand — three times the original capacity on Oct. 1.
Massachusetts Secretary of Administration and Finance Glen Shor said the state is determined to protect the gains made since 2006. Massachusetts has the highest percentage of insured residents of any state.
He also said that the federal health care law, despite its complexity, is good for Massachusetts and will help beef up the state's already strong record on providing coverage.
"At the end of the day we have to remember this is not about a website, this about health security," Shor said.
Connector officials have brought in outside consultants to help assess the website and come up with solutions. The assessment team is being led by experts from MITRE, a nonprofit research and development center with expertise in systems engineering and integration.
The report was originally due last Friday, but Shor says MITRE was putting the final touches on the study, which they expected soon.
Connector officials said the report could provide critical information as they decide whether to pursue legal action against CGI Group, the Montreal-based information technology company hired to create the new website. CGI also was the top contractor on the troubled federal website.
CGI says it remains focused on helping Massachusetts residents get insured by enrolling in qualified, affordable health plans online.
"CGI and its resources are dedicated to delivering continuous improvements in system performance and the user experience for the Massachusetts Health Connector," said company spokeswoman Linda Odorisio.
Josh Archambault, health care policy director for the Pioneer Institute, a conservative-leaning Boston-based think tank, said part of the frustration is that Massachusetts had a functioning website before the federal law was passed.
"The big question is whether the state could have built off its existing website or did it have to start all over?" He said.
Archambault said the federal law is a "net negative" for Massachusetts because it adds another layer of bureaucracy while many of the benefits of the federal law were already covered by the state law.
The health care woes have already become an issue in the Massachusetts governor's race with Republican hopeful Charlie Baker calling for the state to seek a comprehensive waiver from the federal law.
"We have a system in place that works and addresses all the goals of the (federal law), so I believe we should be doing everything we can to see that we are able to keep it," Baker said.

Two wins earn Kershaw NL Player of Week Award
Left-hander threw 16 shutout innings, struck out 16, homered once in opening week
Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw won his third career National League Player of the Week honor Monday after turning in one of the best opening weeks by a starting pitcher in Major League history.
Along with not allowing a run during his perfect 2-0 start, Kershaw clubbed his first career home run to break a scoreless eighth-inning tie against the Giants on Opening Day. He pitched a four-hit shutout, with seven strikeouts and no walks.
The southpaw was even more dominant his second time out, limiting the Pirates to only two hits Saturday while striking out nine over seven shutout frames.
"It's hard to say you've seen him pitch better when he hasn't given up any runs," manager Don Mattingly said after Kershaw's second outing. "But we've seen stretches where he's pretty much like this every time out. He's obviously throwing the ball good. He's been really good."
Kershaw finished the week throwing a Major League-high 16 innings, while his 16 strikeouts placed him third among NL pitchers. The lefty is scheduled to put his shutout streak on the line Friday in Arizona, where he takes the hill against the D-backs at Chase Field.

Catholic cardinal criticises gay marriages plan
- Published
The government's plans for gay marriage have been criticised by the most senior Roman Catholic cleric in Britain.
Cardinal Keith O'Brien, the leader of the Catholic Church in Scotland, said the plans were a "grotesque subversion of a universally accepted human right".
He said the idea of redefining marriage, which David Cameron has said he supports, would "shame the United Kingdom in the eyes of the world".
He said it was wrong to deliberately deprive a child of a mother or father.
'Universally understood'
Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, Cardinal O'Brien said: "Since all the legal rights of marriage are already available to homosexual couples, it is clear that this proposal is not about rights, but rather is an attempt to redefine marriage for the whole of society at the behest of a small minority of activists.
"Same-sex marriage would eliminate entirely in law the basic idea of a mother and a father for every child. It would create a society which deliberately chooses to deprive a child of either a mother or a father."
He added: "Imagine for a moment that the government had decided to legalise slavery but assured us that 'no one will be forced to keep a slave'.
"Would such worthless assurances calm our fury? Would they justify dismantling a fundamental human right?"
Cardinal O'Brien has become the latest of several senior clergy to denounce what he calls the "madness" of the government's backing for marriage to include homosexual couples.
He accused ministers of attempting to "redefine reality" and "dismantle the universally understood meaning of marriage".
In January the Anglican Archbishop of York, John Sentamu, also insisted governments did not have the moral authority to redefine marriage.
'Wish to commit'
Scottish Secretary Michael Moore said the government's consultation on gay marriage was not aimed at forcing religious groups to endorse same-sex marriages.
He told BBC One's Andrew Marr Show: "We're not seeking to change religious marriage and we're not seeking to impose it on religious groups.
"What we are saying is that where a couple love each other and they wish to commit to each other for their life then they should be able to have a civil marriage irrespective of their sexual orientation."
Labour deputy leader Harriet Harman, a former equalities minister, said she thought it was right to have same-sex marriages.
She added: "I don't want anybody to feel that this is a licence for whipping up prejudice.
"What you're talking about is individual people and their personal relationships, their love for each other and their wanting to be in a partnership or getting married. I think we should support that."
Margot James, the first openly lesbian Conservative MP, accused the cardinal of "scaremongering".
She said: "I think it is a completely unacceptable way for a prelate to talk.
"I think that the government is not trying to force Catholic churches to perform gay marriages at all. It is a purely civil matter."
Ben Summerskill, chief executive of gay rights organisation Stonewall, said: "When you read the insulting tone to which Cardinal O'Brien descends on marriage you sense an argument already lost.
"If Roman Catholics don't approve of same-sex marriage, they should make sure they don't get married to someone of the same sex."
Consultation launch
But back-bench Conservative MP Peter Bone said he did not know where the government's mandate to pursue the issue came from.
"It wasn't in our manifesto. It wasn't in Labour's manifesto. It wasn't in the Liberal manifesto.
"Nobody in my constituency before this row has ever come up to me and said this is an important issue that needs to be dealt with.
"It came completely out of the blue and it should certainly not be put before the next general election."
Mr Bone said he believed marriage could not be anything other than the union of a man and a woman.
"It's rather like saying a pear is an apple - it just can't be. It's just really the definition," he said.
"I'm in favour of civil partnerships and equality. But, you can not in my view redefine marriage on a whim."
Mr Cameron publicly supported gay marriage at last year's Conservative Party conference, and the Home Office said last week the government believed a loving and committed couple should "have the option of a civil marriage irrespective of their sexual orientation".
Equalities Minister Lynne Featherstone will launch a consultation later this month on how to make civil marriage available to same-sex couples.
She has said she wants to challenge the view that the government does not have the right to change marriage traditions.
"It is the government's fundamental job to reflect society and to shape the future, not stay silent where it has the power to act and change things for the better," she said.
The Scottish government has held a consultation process north of the border and received more than 50,000 responses.
Many church leaders believe gay marriage would represent a further significant step in marginalising traditional religious values in society.
Civil partnerships were introduced in 2005 to give same-sex couples the same legal rights as married couples, but the law does not allow such unions to be referred to as marriages.
A new law allowing civil partnership ceremonies to be conducted in places of worship in England and Wales came into effect last year.
The Church of England has said it will not allow its churches to be used for civil partnership ceremonies unless the full general synod gives its consent.

Howdy from the states guys. I'm currently taking a introduction to programming class in college, and we're using Java. I like to work ahead, so I've broken into using the GUI features. Right now, I'm trying to create a small quiz program to cover another subject for myself.
My problem is that I only have a general idea of how classes and methods work together, and how Swing (I believe it is) works. Being so new to the language and programming in general, this is really rather holding me up
Here's what I'm aiming for:
-Create a window which will allow me to click the button of the quiz that I want.
(I can do this part)
-When I click on the quiz button that I want, pop up the first question of the quiz.
(I can do this using JOptionPane, but then I can't use radio buttons or regular buttons to select my answer. I have to set it up to where the user has to input the letter of the answer. Right? I've done it that way, but I'd rather get to use buttons.)
-Then continue to move on to each question and be able to answer them in the same fashion.
I guess what I'm confused on is how can I accomplish making multiple frames, and also giving each frame buttons without having to create a listener for every single button on every single frame; I'd like to finish this before I graduate .
Not sure if I made what I'm looking for quite clear or not, but any tips would be greatly appreciated.

So…today, I make up for lost time with an additional post. I apologize, but I just haven't had the time to keep up with the genealogy work this year. I don't foresee the next year providing me with much time, either. But I intend to make the most of the time I do have available!
While visiting Calvary Cemetery this past July, I did some row mowing with the camera. I had found a Jankowski grave that I cannot identify. I am related to some Jankowskis through my mother–two daughters of Martin Plenzler, Edna and Florence, had married Stanley Jankowski. Florence had married Stanley first, they had three daughters. Then after Florence had passed away and Edna was widowed (Edna's first husband was Danny Sieja), Edna and Stanley had married. So when I encountered this stone in Calvary, I was intrigued. However, no matter how hard I tried, I could not identify the persons buried there. It seems the stone sunk enough to cover the names of those it is memorializing.
The grave is located in Section 25. If you can identify these persons, please feel free to contact me here.

The following is the text of a letter to the editor I just sent to the MOA. It expands on the use of automotive diagnostics on BMW motorcycles.
"Wes Flemings Torque of the Matter column in the December 2018 Owners News is a bit dated. Near the end of the article he states that more motorcycle makers are anticipating the day when all bikes have to have OBD-style connectors and their ECUs will need to speak a common dialect. That day is already here. European Union (EU) Regulation 168/2013 requires standardized on-board diagnostics for all motorcycles sold in the EU. Specific requirements include use of the 16-pin automotive OBD connector (later amended to allow a smaller 6-pin motorcycle-specific connector), use of any of the standard automotive data communication protocols, and use of standard automotive diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). Phase-in dates were January 1, 2016, for new motorcycle types, and January 1, 2017, for existing types. This is the reason all new BMW motorcycles have 16-pin diagnostic connectors.
BMWs use of automotive OBD technology on their motorcycles goes back even further. In a February 2013 posting on the S1000RRforum.com forum, one individual described connecting an UltraGauge OBD-II data reader to his bike. He jumpered wires from the 10-pin round diagnostic connector on his bike to an automotive 16-pin connector to mate with the UltraGauge. He was able to read several additional data types available from the ECU. His S1000RR uses the KWP 2000 automotive OBD protocol. This past week I was able to do the same thing on my 2007 R1200ST. I used a GS911 female adapter cable to interface between the bikes connector and the UltraGauge. I too was able to view several items of data, again using the KWP 2000 protocol. I was also able to connect my Actron CP9695 scan tool using the same adapter cable and read data and trouble codes. Unfortunately, all my testing was done engine off since my bike is in storage for the winter. Ill do more testing when the spring thaw comes here in western New York."

As a Clinical Nutritionist, Dr. Ron Overberg will take an in-depth look at your current nutritional status by looking at your food diary for several days, your Wellness Blood Profile and Urinalysis reports, and what you write or tell him about how you are feeling and what you wish to achieve or improve.

In this instance Chris Overberg can help you by making solid nutritional recommendations after consulting with you.

Our services include a variety of testing at extremely reasonable costs.

A wide range of other blood tests are also available, particularly heart health and diabetic testing. Also available is the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis, and the Organix Urine Amino Acid test. Neurotransmitter test looks for hormone and depression related issues, and SpectraCell tests for Vitamin Mineral Antioxidant status.
We use a number of tests for gluten sensitivity, intolerance, and gut issues, many of which are not celiac related. Allergies and food intolerances have been a major area for many years in our practice. Leaky gut is included here.

ComiCon aftermath, and sketch
Busy busy lately, but still here is a sketch I recently did, at least to keep the blog breathing!
ComiCon went great, both DSP and LAAFA booths busy and exciting.
I met Jim Steranko and Bill Sienkiewicz, couldn't ask for more after shaking hands that have produced such fantastic and inspirational artwork for so long!

Strikeforce fighter Tim Kennedy is featured on tonight's episode of "Deadliest Warrior" on Spike TV.
The show airs at 10 p.m. ET/PT, and an immediate replay is set for 11:30 p.m. ET/PT.
Kennedy, a U.S Army Ranger and Bronze Star recipient, represents his respective military branch in the show's unique warrior-vs.-warrior fantasy-combat study.
In each episode of "Deadliest Warrior," two historical warriors and their weapons are used to determine which of them is the "deadliest" based upon tests performed by the hosts: a Navy SEAL and martial arts expert, a medical consultant and a programmer. After collecting data, simulations are run to determine a likely winner, and a dramatization of the warriors' battle to the death then concludes the episode.
Tonight's episode is titled "U.S. Army Rangers vs. North Korean Special Operation Force," and it's one of the first episodes in the show's three-season history to examine modern-day warriors rather than historical ones.
In addition to Kennedy, UFC Hall of Famer Chuck Liddell and UFC 133 headliner Rashad Evans have appeared in past episodes.
Kennedy just recently fought at "Strikeforce and M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Henderson," where he defeated fellow middleweight Robbie Lawler via unanimous decision in a Showtime-televised main-card bout. He's now likely to fight the winner of a September title fight between champion Ronaldo "Jacare" Souza and Luke Rockhold.

Harper showcases power in second-place Derby finish
Partners with dad to total 24 homers; A's outfielder Cespedes takes crown
NEW YORK -- Instead of putting any undue pressure on himself, Bryce Harper entered Monday night's Chevrolet Home Run Derby with the hope of treating the event like he did those countless days during his youth when his father threw him batting practice.
With his father, Ron Harper, serving as his pitcher in front of a sold-out crowd at Citi Field, Harper seemed unfazed as he cruised through the first two rounds and set up a matchup against Oakland's Yoenis Cespedes in the finals .
Harper's bid to win his first career Derby was foiled by the incredible power displayed by Cespedes. But the experience was still one that he and his father will forever cherish.
"It was a great atmosphere and I got to share it with my family," Harper said. "It's a lot of fun and I was so thankful for it. I've got to thank my dad for everything he has done for me, all the numerous [batting practice] he's thrown to me. I love him more than anything in this world."
After Harper hit eight home runs in final round, Cespedes bested that total when he hit his clinching ninth home run an estimated 455 feet over the center-field wall with five outs to spare.
"I came off the field saying [eight is] not enough," Harper said. "I thought maybe 12. The way he was swinging the bat that first and second round, he wasn't even trying. It was pretty incredible to watch. He's so strong."
Harper homered on the first three swings he took in the finals. The Nationals outfielder homered on consecutive pitches after recording eight of the 10 outs the participants were allotted per round. But neither of his final two swings produced a home run.
"It was a dream come true, of course," Ron Harper said. "I wish I could have done better for him. I would have loved to have run into his bat a little more."
Still just 20 years old, Harper is the second-youngest player to ever compete in a Derby. Ken Griffey Jr. was 42 days younger when he competed in the 1990 event.
Harper's longest shot was the 471-foot homer he hit over the right-center-field wall in the first round. Prince Fielder's 483-foot blast was the only one that traveled longer.
Harper entered the second round needing to hit eight home runs to pass Colorado's Michael Cuddyer and earn a spot in the finals. He clinched the spot with the 425-foot shot he hit to center with four outs to spare.
After recording an out with his first swing of the second round, Harper hit five consecutive home runs. He admitted he started to get fatigued during the final two rounds.
"Right now, I'm feeling pretty tired," Harper said. "Those last two rounds, I was a little tired. But it was a lot of fun and I had a blast doing it."
Harper looked at the first three pitches before using his first swing of the night to hit a ball an estimated 455 feet over the center-field wall. He showed patience throughout the event as his father threw what appeared to be cut fastballs.
Ron Harper was simply throwing to his son in the manner that he had countless times before under the Las Vegas sun. But this time, he had the thrill of doing so while wearing a big league uniform, adorned with No. 3, the number he wore while playing a variety of sports during his youth.
After throwing his final pitch of the night, a proud father expressed his appreciation to his son.
"I said, 'Thank you for the opportunity to do this with you, kid' and 'I love you,'" Ron Harper said.

The below cards I did the same design layout. In fact I made these cards before I made the above cards. I actually made these thinking it would be for the challenge. Then I realized I was suppose to use the freebie and had a "duh" moment. Oh well, I have a set of what I think are really cute birthday card to have on hand now. And it made it easy for me to do the challenge because I had the design already completed and I do think it didn't take me very long at all to reproduce the design.
Image: Frilly Cupcake by Paper Cupcakes-Stamps
Image: Party Pig by Paper Cupcakes-Stamps (I didn't have my image in square that is why the lines are funny on that image, and after I printed it I didn't want to waste card stock so I just went with the minor flaw)

Well, that's it for me today. We have had a tough last two weeks and things are finally getting back into the swing of normal. Plus we are gearing up for Morgan to head to her State competition for her Speech this coming weekend. We are excited!!
Thanks for lurking by and have a lovely week!!

Are There Different Types Of Stress And Do These Affect The Heart Differently?
Dr. Williams answers the question: 'Heart Impacts Of Different Stresses?'
-- Question: Are there different types of stress and do these affect the heart differently?
Answer: There are different types of stress. There's stress that has something to do with what's happening to you, outside, in the environment. It can be a job that's too demanding, it can be a job that doesn't reward you, it could be stressful life events, it could be a traffic jam that won't let you get to where you need to go on time, anything that happens to you. It can also be a lack of supportive social ties with family and friends that can stress you. These are things that happen outside you that stress you.
Unfortunately, some of us have the capacity to manufacture our own stress. This is those of us who have a hostile personality type that makes us more sensitive to the things that are happening out there in our environment. We're always on our guard for somebody screwing up, somebody going too slowly, somebody being selfish. And this causes us to react, to have this frustration and anger reaction to very low level stressors out there, that people who don't have this personality type are more or less immune to.
So there are two sources of stress: outside and then from inside your head. And both of them act through the same common pathway to damage your heart. They cause you to engage in unhealthy behaviors, like smoking, drinking too much alcohol, eating too much. One study found that people who had high hostility scores consume, on average, 600 more calories a day than those with low hostility scores, which probably accounts for the fact that people with high hostility levels have a bigger waist and also more prone to Type 2 diabetes.
So, if you can learn to manage these stresses better, you can be more resistant both to what's going on outside you, as well as to protect yourself against your own personality causing you to be more sensitive.
But the final common pathway is through these stress hormones that cause your body systems, your platelets to be stickier and more likely to clot. Your metabolic system to be more likely to have a higher glucose and higher lipid levels. Your inflammatory system to be more inflamed. And your cardiovascular system to be showing these blood pressure and heart rate surges, which are damaging your blood vessels and your heart.
So, stress gets inside the body, but once it does, the pathway is always the same to your heart.

Mets finding it difficult to keep Satin out of lineup
NEW YORK -- The Mets are still waiting for Ike Davis to find a rhythm at the plate. As they do so, though, it's been hard to keep Josh Satin out of the lineup. Satin replaced Davis at first base after Davis was sent to Triple-A Las Vegas, and he thrived.
So now that Davis is back, the Mets are essentially employing a platoon at first base, at least until Davis starts to hit consistently. Satin got the nod at first base against the left-handed Cole Hamels on Saturday, and is likely to start against Cliff Lee, another southpaw, on Sunday.
"This guy has earned a chance to play against lefties," manager Terry Collins said, "so he's going to play."
Satin is hitting .448 against lefties this season, with seven doubles and five RBIs. He also has a .543 on-base percentage against left-handed pitching.
Davis, meanwhile, continues to struggle, hitting .171 with a .259 on-base percentage. In nine games since being recalled from Las Vegas, he is 7-for-30.
"Certainly, in Ike's case, you'd like to get him out there every day to see what he can do," Collins said, "but the testing ground was the first half."
The Mets will face right-handed starters in the first three games of their four-game series against the Braves next week. Collins said that's when they'll get Davis back in the lineup.
New York wants Davis to get at-bats so he can iron out his issues at the plate and hit consistently, but the team benefits too much from having Satin's hot bat in the lineup.
"Ike's going to have to continue to work," Collins said, "and work hard."
