By CORBIN HOSLER
On the day she earned her 116th win to become the winningest pitcher in Oklahoma history, Keilani Ricketts showed Baylor exactly why she's the defending USA Softball player of the year.
The senior allowed just four hits in a complete-game shutout of No. 17 Baylor, and top-ranked OU did enough at the plate to pull out a 8-0 six-inning run-rule victory to sweep the first Big 12 series of the season.
Ricketts was at her best for much of the day Sunday, going perfect through three innings while the Sooners (34-2, 3-0) took control of the game. She finished with five strikeouts, frustrating the Baylor (29-10, 3-5) lineup for the third day in a row. The win moved Ricketts past Jennifer Stewart into sole possession of first place on the all-time wins list in program history.
"This means a lot with the tradition of excellence here, to be in that category," Ricketts said. "I knew they were going to be a lot more patient at the plate because I wasn't getting ahead in the count in the last two games. So today I focused on that."
Coach Patty Gasso referred to Ricketts as "a legend," and said she was honored to part of her career.
"She's one of the most special players that softball will see for a long, long time," she said. "It's been really fun to watch her progression from a freshman. She's worked hard to get better every year and it's so enjoyable to watch her progress that way and be a leader of this team on the field."
On Sunday, Ricketts got plenty of help from her teammates, as the Sooners had no issue connecting against starting pitcher Whitney Canion. Six of the first eight Sooner batters to face Canion made hit the ball deep into the outfield, including a solo home by Shelby Pendley, while the other two batters walked.
The Sooners added another run in the third on a bases-loaded walk to Brittany Williams after the Bears intentionally walked Ricketts to load the bases, and got another in the fourth on a Georgia Casey single.
With Ricketts dealing, the Sooners exploded in the sixth inning to end the game prematurely. Lauren Chamberlain started the big inning with a 2-run home run, her eighteenth of the season, and Callie Parsons ended the game a few batters later with a 2-RBI single to clinch the run-rule win.
"I thought we really played well this weekend," Gasso said. "It was a great atmosphere and a great crowd. Our hitters did a fantastic job of being patient and working counts. Keilani getting out and getting ahead in the count created good momentum for us in the dugout and the team was feeding off each other."
Next up for OU is a 6:30 p.m. Wednesday game against North Texas at Marita Hynes Field.
Extra Frames
For the record
No. 1 OU moved to 34-2 on the year and 3-0 in conference play after taking the game over No. 17 Baylor, which fell to 29-10 and 3-5 in Big 12 play.
Inside the game
Holding a 2-0 lead in the fourth inning, a near-error on Baylor gave the Sooners a big break. Brianna Turang attempted to steal second but was behind the throw to the bag. However, the Bear couldn't hold onto the ball and Turang was ruled safe. That allowed Georgia Casey's deep single to score Turang two batters later put OU on top 3-0.
Notes of note
Chamberlain's home run was her 18th of the season, and Pendley's was her 10th… Ricketts' complete game was the first by any pitcher in the series… Baylor's Whitney Canion, who entered the weekend with one of the best ERAs in the Big 12, pitched for two different stints on Sunday and was ineffective both times… Baylor walked seven OU batters and hit one… OU outscored Baylor 25-6 in three games.
On deck: Next up for OU is a 6:30 p.m. game Wednesday against North Texas at Marita Hynes Field.

A woman named Jacque Hollander has filed a federal lawsuit against James Brown, alleging that the R&B singer raped her at gunpoint in 1988, later causing her to develop Grave's Disease, a thyroid condition.
Hollander claims that the incident took place in South Carolina, while she was employed by Brown as a publicist. She alleges that while she was riding in a van with the singer, he abruptly pulled the vehicle to the side of the road and, threatening her with a shotgun, assaulted her.
Although the statue of limitations on the rape charge have run out, Hollander's illness-related claims have grounds, as a doctor said in 2000 that the alleged assault might have caused her thyroid issues. Grave's Disease may be stress-related, but its specific root is currently unknown.
Hollander's lawsuit, filed in Chicago district court, seeks $106 million in damages. When previously brought before a judge in 2002, her claims against Brown were dismissed.
In spite of his legendary career, Brown's personal life has long been rife with controversy: the performer served a two-and-a-half-year prison sentence after 1988 drug and assault charges and was convicted of a drug charge in 1998 (he was later pardoned). And as recently as January of 2004, he was arrested and charged with criminal domestic violence for allegedly pushing his wife to the floor and threatening her during an argument (it was resolved when the singer pleaded no contest).
The seventy-one-year-old singer underwent surgery for prostate cancer on December 15th and is currently recovering. His updated autobiography, James Brown: The Godfather of Soul -- co-authored by Rev. Al Sharpton -- is due next month. He is planning a tour of Asia and Australia to kick off early this year.

How about re-hiring all of the local editors you downsized? The Patch is a waste of time in Easton…Read More now. I'd much rather go online to the Easton Journal website. Such a shame too, because the format is so open to the community. But, if there's no local news, there's no reason to read the Patch regularly.
Christine Smith April 27, 2014 at 10:44 am
I agree. Sadly, what started out as a great hyper-local news site is now just re-packaging the same…Read More national and state-wide stories on all of its sites. There is no local coverage and no local news anymore. it makes no sense for a local business to advertise here, making a sales job pretty difficult.

Crohns and Colitis Exchange
This is a place for members with Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis to get ... more

My Discussions
My Email Digests
In July, she upped my medication from Humira twice a month to every week to try to get those few ulcers cleared up, and as I said, that didn't work. She said that we could go back to Remicade, but it probably wouldn't work because I didn't have that great of results from it the first time, and now my body has most likely built up antibodies to make it even less useful. Generally Imuran would be prescribed with it to help reduce the problem from the antibodies, but I can't take Imuran. The medication she wants to try me on is called Tysabri. I had never heard of it, but it's apparently some pretty scary stuff. It's used mostly for MS, but it's approved here for Crohn's also. Europe hasn't approved it for Crohn's because they say that the risk to a person with Crohn's is too great in comparison to the benefit they would receive.
I'm really quite afraid of this new drug, but I have some time to decide because there are tons of hoops you have to jump through to even have it prescribed to you. Most doctors can't prescribe it. My doctor has said that because of my response to all the other medications, this is probably my last shot. Tysabri is used as a last resort type thing, but she also said that in about 30% of patients, the reward is tremendous. The risk just happens to be that in about 0.1% of patient's prescribed the drug, they develop a brain infection that generally results in death within six months. She said that nobody has ever developed the infection while being on it for less than a year, and she wants to try me on it for about four months and then do another scope to see if it's cleared anything up. If my scope is clear and I'm feeling better, she said then we could decide it if was worth the risk of being on it long term.
I'm scared because if it doesn't work, I'm screwed, and if it does work, I'm still screwed. How do you decide between disabling stomach pain and becoming mentally handicapped or dying? And what happens after the four months, either way? I know my risk goes way up if I decide to use it long term, but like I said, I'm kind of damned if I do and damned if I don't. I can't just NOT treat the Crohn's, because of the risk of losing my pouch. My risk of colon or rectal cancer is gone, but if my pouch gets too damaged, I'll lose it and have a permanent ostomy. And I don't want that. I love my pouch. Plus, with how severe my disease is getting, even with treatment, I can't imagine without treatment. I may not be responding well to it, but it has to be helping a little bit.
I just need some insight and some opinions. And any information on Tysabri or other options any of you have heard of. Besides dieting. I'm past the point of diet controlling this. Thanks guys, and sorry my post is so long. I'm just freaking out.
I know someone on this site will more than likely have some information for you on this. I certainly hope so.
Again, you're in my prayers. Please remember that, ok?
I'm incredibly sorry that you are at such a cross roads. I'm empathetic towards your situation because I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place as well. I know you'll get a lot of advice on this board, but in the end, it's the decision you can live with that is the right one to make. I keep praying about the decisions that I need to make about my health, and I'll certainly pray about yours. I wish I knew more about Tysabri, or something to help you. You are in my thoughts!
it really seems like you're presented with a gamble - the tysabri seems like it offers the possibly get your quality of life back but you also run the risk of loosing everything. and 0.1% never seemed like a large # until you put it in that context
on the other hand, playing it safe isn't a win either. I can't imagine the frustration of all the crap you had to go through to get your pouch and then to loose it. Is there also long term disease progression to consider beyond loosing your pouch? I have no idea how these things work, and I'm so sorry you have to figure it out. When you read about Chron's you see the possibility for it to make you this sick, but to see you go through it is so frustrating and so unreal
I hope you can find peace about a decision somehow
take care
1. The largest trial, "ENACT-1", included a total of 905 patients with active Crohn's disease who were randomly assigned to Natalizumab (300 mg) or placebo at weeks 0, 4, and 8. Response (defined by a decrease in the Crohn's Disease Activity Index of at least 70 points at week 10), was similar to placebo (56 vs 49 percent). Post-hoc analysis of the results in those with elevated CRP at baseline showed efficacy for Natalizumab compared with placebo.
2. The 339 responders to Natalizumab were enrolled in a follow-up trial, "ENACT-2". There was random reassignment to receive 300 mg of Natalizumab or placebo every four weeks through week 56. Patients receiving Natalizumab had significantly higher rates of sustained response (61 vs 28 percent) and remission (44 vs 26 percent) through week 36, as well as higher discontinuation rates of glucocorticoids.
A second trial, "ENCORE", included 509 patients (moderate-to-severe active Crohn's disease; active inflammation (CRP greaten than 2.87 mg/L)). Patients were randomly assigned to Natalizumab (300 mg) or placebo at weeks 0, 4, and 8. Primary endpoint: induction of a response, defined as a greater-or-equal-to 70 point reduction in the CDAI at week 8 and sustained through week 12. Response was observed significantly more often in patients assigned to Natalizumab (48 vs. 32 percent). Sustained remission (CDAI less than150) was observed significantly more often with Natalizumab (26 vs 16 percent). Frequency and types of adverse events were similar between treatment groups.
Serious adverse events occurred at a similar rate to the placebo arm in two controlled trials. However, in an open-label extension, one patient with Crohn's disease on monotherapy with Natalizumab died (JC virus-associated progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)). Two other case reports described an association between Natalizumab and PML in patients with M.S. treated with Natalizumab and interferon beta-1a. Latent JC virus infection and viral shedding are common in immunosuppressed patients with Crohn's disease, but risk factors of JC-related disease are unclear.
Marketing of Natalizumab was suspended in February 2005 as a result, but was subsequently resumed for M.S. At least 76 additional cases of PML have occurred in those with M.S. since the drug was reintroduced (20 percent mortality rate; high degree of disability among survivors).

There are some people who HATE Valentines Day for the simple fact that they might have gotten dumped or someone just didnt care enough to get them anything. Honestly i think that we shouldn't let certain people ruin Valentines Day. My current Boyfriend HATES Valentines Day I am hoping to get him to like it again for the simple fact that it's a HOLIDAY that just like Christmas is to be SHARED with the people you LOVE. I hope that you understand my point of veiw.
I get what you are saying.
people who have been dumped or have no one, just don't want to have lovey dovey days shoved at them, if alone, like Christmas, it can get depressing.
I don't think we need a specific day to show you care. It's commercial to sell more cards, chocolates, flowers etc.

Mans best friend takes on a whole new dimension when you see a service dog team in action. I know; I live with one.
Pandy joined our family three years ago. She is a beautiful mix of Labrador and golden retriever and has eyes that will melt any heart. The things she will do for my son, Kevin, are mind-boggling. She was born to be a service dog. Literally.
The farm at Canine Assistants in Milton, Ga., has an entire human-sized house for the puppies who have a big job ahead of them. Thats where Pandy got her start. Her training began shortly after birth and continued for 17 months. By the time we came into the picture, she already knew at least 90 commands and was an old pro at spending time everywhere from malls to hospitals. She wears a vest that signals both to her and to everyone else that shes working. I still find it fascinating that when the vest goes on, she goes into working mode and is so calm that when we are at a restaurant, few people even realize she is there until we get up to leave. But take that vest off, and she is pure puppy running, playing and hunting any animal that dares venture into our yard.
So a recent news story about people buying fake service dog vests for their pets was startling. I just had no idea. And because I cant imagine taking my pet Bichon into a restaurant without bedlam ensuing, I couldnt figure out how these fakers were managing to make their pets behave. Turns out, they arent. The dogs often cause a ruckus, leaving all in the vicinity disgusted by the untamed behavior. It doesnt take too much of an imagination to realize that a few bad apples could ruin it for those with a legitimate need.
Part of the problem is the leniency of the law. A shopkeeper is not allowed to ask a person about his disability. Nor is anyone required to provide proof that a dog is a trained service animal. Only two questions are legal: Is that a service dog? And what tasks does the dog perform? And as they say, you give an inch, theyll take a mile. I think the fakers should have to spend a day in Kevins shoes or rather, his wheelchair. It wouldnt take long to understand what Pandy is able to do for him, particularly now that he spends his days on his own at N.C. State University and its challenging terrain.
More than once, Kevin has asked a passerby for help opening a door, only to have the person point to the automatic door button and continue on, never waiting for his explanation that he is unable to lift his arm and does not have the strength to push the button. At State, pushing the button is Pandys job. If Kevin drops his phone, Pandy retrieves it. And I dont think a large, protective animal is a bad thing to have by your side if youre physically unable to defend yourself.
Because Kevins disabilities are visible, Pandys presence is rarely questioned. And if it is, it is usually done with respect and Kevins explanations readily accepted. There was one incident, though, that still rankles.
At what is arguably the most well-known pancake house in Myrtle Beach, the hostess loudly demanded that Pandy stay in the car on a July day when the temperature had already reached 92 by 10 a.m. Her insistence that there was no room for a dog (we offered to show her certification papers and explained that Pandy would be under the table for the duration of our meal) and the lengthy one-woman scene that ensued attracted the attention of the waiting crowd and embarrassed Kevin. Pandy, bored by it all, went to sleep.
Because we were hungry, and because we didnt want to set a bad precedent for other service dog teams, we refused to leave. As always, most of our fellow diners never even noticed the dog in their midst. When we asked for our check, our server told us it had been taken care of, tip included. We presumed the management was making things right, but we were wrong. We were treated to breakfast by another family who had witnessed the hullaballoo outside the restaurant and wanted to make our day better. It worked.
On the way out the door, the perky hostess who had publicly humiliated our son, actually said Yall come back soon! Not likely. But thanks anyway.

DURHAM — The death of the 9-year-old boy, who was shot in the head last Saturday night along with his mother while they were in a car on Lucas Drive, is the first homicide of 2014.
Jaedan Sharpe died Thursday at the hospital where he had been since the Saturday evening shooting, police spokeswoman Kammie Michael said Friday.
His mother, Lakeisha Holloway, 31, remained hospitalized with serious wounds.
Despite her wounds, she was able to drive herself and her son to a house a few blocks away to get help, police said.
The staff and students at W.G. Pearson Elementary School are very saddened by the loss of Jaedan Sharpe, principal LaManda Pryor said in a statement issued Friday. He was a popular and well-liked third-grader throughout our school community. Jaedans family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Police have made no arrests in the case and asked again for the publics help in gathering information.
Neighbors of the mother and child declined to comment, saying they feared retaliation.
Anyone with information about the shooting should call investigators at 919-560-4440, ext. 29325, or Crime Stoppers at 919-683-1200.
Crime Stoppers pays cash rewards for information leading to arrests in felony cases, and callers do not have to identify themselves.

RAM Ride & Drive
RAM Ride & Drive Debuts at the Houston Auto Show
RAM Trucks is brining a 25,000-square-foot track providing one-of-a-kind, interactive experience for consumers attending the 2014 Houston Auto Show, January 22-26, at the Reliant Center.
The Ram test track is an interactive adventure zone demonstrating the power and capabilities of the Ram Truck brand vehicle lineup. Professional drivers steer attendees through the interactive course in the Ram 1500 named Motor Trend and Texas Truck of the Year. Key track features include a "can't miss" hill climb, where passengers get to experience first-hand the traction capabilities of a Ram Truck while climbing the 13-foot high, 30-yard long, 30-degree iconic Ram Mountain. Riders can expect to be sitting over 17-feet off the ground as they sit atop the Ram Mountain. The Ram test track includes a 12 x 25-foot section of terrain simulating fallen logs that highlight ground clearance, a steel articulation demo that demonstrates the body strength of a Ram, a series of off-set steel ribbons that showcase the suspension capability and a 30-degree wedge that reveals the stability and ride quality of a Ram Truck.
Participating riders will be automatically entered into the Chrysler Group National Giveaway for a change to win $45,000 toward any eligible Chrysler Group vehicle. Test-ride participants 17 years and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and be at least 44 inches tall.
A mini-Ram course will be adjacent to the Ram Ride & Drive, where kid-sized Ram Trucks will be available for the younger set.
The Ram Ride & Drive will be open during all hours of the Houston Auto Show and any additional media requests beginning January 22.

Some workers at BAE Systems in Greenlawn will lose their jobs March 4 as a slowdown in the defense industry takes hold.
The layoffs are unrelated to cutbacks resulting from the expected across-the-board cuts to federal spending set to take effect Friday unless Congress reaches a deal to avert them, said Kristin Gossel, spokeswoman for BAE electronics systems.
Gossel said the London-based company plans to cut about 300 jobs total across five sites, though 200 will be eliminated from a New Hampshire facility. She did not have a figure specific to Greenlawn, which has 700 workers. The electronics division has about 11,000 employees.
BAE electronics develops specialized equipment for military intelligence, survelliance and reconnassaiance work, such as cameras mounted on the underside of jets.
But the March 4 reductions could be just the beginning for the global company if Congress fails to find a solution to the wholesale, with defense spending scheduled to take the biggest hit.
"We've been concerned for a while," Gossel said. "We've been very active in trying to convince Congress to act.
"What concerns us the most is that we've already made some cuts and want to make sure that any future cuts are made in a way that preserves our national security. The meat-ax approach concerns us the most. It doesn't take into account, to make sure we're maintaining our strong security base."
Gossel said that if severe cuts kick in, "we'll lose about 10 pecrent of our workforce" of the approximately 400,000 workers throughout the company.
"What sectors, what businesses, is to be determined. That's why we keep advocating against it."

Tim Worstall, Contributor
I write about business and technology.
I think it is safe to say that the technology world was not amazed nor astonished by today's announcement of Nokia's new Windows 8 phone line. Partly this is, of course, because we knew roughly what was coming before the announcement. It would be a new Nokia phone, or several of them, running Microsoft's Windows 8 for phones. So it isn't that they could surprise us with the OS or anything. However, while there's a great deal of dutiful reporting of what was announced there's not very much, if any, of the ecstatic joy that accompanies the new phone releases of certain other companies.
One thing that many reports emphasise is "wireless charging". And I have to admit that as someone living over here in Europe that seems to be a solution to yesterday's problem. Yes, certainly, when every phone manufacturer uses a different adaptor or charger interface then the idea of going away, or even out for more than eight hours, can be discomforting. For while you're out you might need charging but cannot find anyone with your interface. Or, worse, going off with your family and finding that your Nokia charger does not fit the wife's iPhone one nor the three variants of Sony, Samsung and some incredible Chinese something or other that the children have. I speak from experience here you understand. In such a situation wireless charging sounds just marvellous.
Yet, over here in Europe at least, we now have one standard phone to charger connector. The EU sat everyone down and snarled at them until they agreed (the argument was that all that copper tied up in all those different adaptors was a waste of resources). Given that wherever you go that has electricity there will be someone with a charger and that charger will charge your phone, this idea of wireless charging seems like a solution to a problem we no longer have. You might still have it, to be sure, but we don't.
A second point much remarked upon is that we don't know the prices:
The prices of the new phones, which will be available later this year, weren't immediately available.
New sexy technology is one thing. But what is the price we must pay for it? Just as examples, it would be one thing to offer something better than an Apple iPhone at a higher price that an iPhone. A daring strategy even that would be. Offering something as good as an iPhone at $50 would be a real winner. So it's not really possible to understand how good this offering is without knowing what the price points are going to be.
Then we get faster LCD screens, better camera software, the ability to use the screen with gloves on….and, well, maybe this is all terribly exciting to some segment of the public. Maybe it isn't. You can most assuredly make up your own mind as to whether it is exciting to you. But the best averaging of what everybody thinks that we have is the market. In this case, the stock market in the shares of Nokia:
The reaction from the stock markets is harsh – shares down 14% today.
Or, as my headline puts it: So, Umm, That's It Hunh?
I feel very sorry for you, that you feel the way you feel and that you have been disappointed by Windows Phone so far.
As Windows Phone 7 came out 2 years ago it was clear that this will not be the mobile operating system Microsoft wanted it to be, but Microsoft had to make a decision: Either they prematurely release a mobile OS and get a feet in the closing door for the mobile market or further "ignoring" the market and focus on their true Windows Phone OS they want but risking of being ignored the day they release it.
So Microsoft decided to release a Windows Phone on the out dated CE kernel that was/is very limited in the potential of todays technology but they had put their feet into the closing door and they where able to say hi to market although it was clearly just a whisper nearly unheard.
Smart people knew this. Me for example, I decided to jailbreak my HTC HD2 and put on WP7 and later 7.5 thanks to xda developers. It broke last Month so I was forced to buy an actual WP powered device and I got an offer for a lumia 900 for a very very fair price so I bought it.
Microsoft themselves stated that the WP7 platform is not the OS they wanted to release but they had to. So it was logical it lacked several features at the beginning but several of them were improved over the time and others where implemented; But the CE kernel is way to power consuming and todays technologies like NFC or LTE etc. could not be implemented while having an eye on battery life. In the long run I was/am very happy with WP7/7.5 so far.
And to address your point the OS not does or don't do at all:
- no file manager: Neither does iOS nor Android come with a file manager as well. A third party App has to be installed on Android to have one and I wouldn't count that as positive. We don't know yet if or how WP8 might handle this but agreed, being able to not only carry ones music and pictures but also documents without having to access a cloud solution would be preferable.
- no Bluetooth transfers: Neither can I remember that friends of me are able to transfer files via Bluethooth with their iOS or Android devices. Just yesterday I asked if a friend could send me a picture via Bluethooth to my still working HTC TYTN II with his Galaxy S II, but he responded that he can't. But agreed, it would be good to have this feature back.
- Need Zune to transfer files: So does the iOS need it's iTunes or Cloud service to sync files. Also Android, if I recall correctly, does not come with built in sync function; You need extra software to do that.
- no centralized notification page: True, currently it is kind of a mess to remember which App just toasted a message if the message is already gone; You don't have the ability to re-display the message. But, a notification Center like on Android wouldn't be practical, because you already have your live tiles that you see immediately after unlocking. Currently only notifications of new emails and SMS messages are shown permanently on your lock screen and you can go directly to the corresponding App while short tap on the icon or toast notification and then unlock. What we know so far from WP8 is, that you will be able to choose which App will be able to send a permanent icon to your lock screen; We do not know is, if this has a limit like it currently is in place with windows 8.
- text messages can only be deleted one by one or the whole thread: Agreed. But I rarely want to delete more than two single messages at a time so this limitation did not worried me in the past nor does it now. How ever, it would be nice, if Microsoft would expand the usefulness of the mail hub multi-selection feature onto other hubs like the message-hub and the picture-hub. Windows 8 however, has a built-in multi-selection feature for touch control, it may be logical if wp8 would feature the same functionality.
- Taskmanager has no option to shut down apps you don't want running in the background: Background tasks can be centralized deactivated by going under settings into the "background tasks" and from there you can choose to for example deactivate the background task ability of WhatsApp to lets say send toast notifications or what ever WhatsApp is using background tasks for.
Running Apps (although WP freezes Apps that are not in the foreground) can be closed by tap and hold the back button -> re-activate the App you want to close and immediately tap the back button again (the only App where this seems to be not working is the IE :-/; this is a rather unconventional method, but I guess it is due to patent conflicts). Apps in WP are subjects to be quick-freezed when not active, so they don't use up unnecessary battery life but will be started at the point they where frozen when being active again or, if the App is being inactive for a long time and will be closed eventually by the system if a certain count of inactive Apps is reached. So there is no real need of closing your Apps.
- Cannot close music player, can only pause. Music player on lock screen will stay until you reboot: Is this really annoying you? o.O It maybe the taste of different people are not the same, but I find it to be quiet handy to be able to not only start my last play from the point I paused it the day before, but also being able to directly enter the play list from the lock screen I was playing and jumping to another title if i want.
- Cannot select multiple pictures for deleting, sending or uploading. They must be done one at a time: Agreed. But as i wrote before, windows 8 hast this touch multi-selection feature built-in, it is only natural to assume WP8 will also have this.
- Forwarded emails cannot be edited: You normally do that? Than you are the only person I know who does that with mails.
- If both Wi-Fi and data connection are available which one it chooses to use is unpredictable: Its not. WP always uses the a trusted Wi-Fi-conection over data-conection. But it does not simply log into open Wi-Fi networks, you have to actively log into before and you also can choose if a known Network should be automatically connected to if available.
- no flash, Java, and Silverlight support: I guess you mean no support for Websites, right? Because Silverlight and Java are supported to be used in Apps. iOS also does not support Flash, Java or Silverlight and nobody really cares. Android also does not support Silverlight if I recall correctly; It supports Flash and Java (not sure) though, but if you actually use it for a website your Battery is dying on you very very fast!
So only 3 of your 14 points are truly shortcomings of the System that should be changed like a global search function for the phones inventory (windows 8 has this built-in, so yet again it is naturally to assume WP8 will also support this) etc. A few of your points are mainly personal taste and would be fixed if you switch to another OS but all in all WP7.5 is doing great so far if kept in mind, that this iteration of the OS is actually not the true WP Microsoft wanted to release but will be fixed with WP8; That naturally wont run on current gen Smartphones. Microsoft doped backwards compatibility lately what many people wanted them to do for a long time, but now the others are crying. Hey Apple has done this several times before and other than a almost unnoticeable whisperingly cry, had nobody really had a problem with that. But yeah, Microsoft is to blame for that. -.-
Nokia is a startup. Looking out, there choosing the windows platform could be brilliant. 1.3 billion users who have used windows os for many years have been waiting for an intergrated os that works on all devices they use. These are not college students or first time users, these are the pros who have watched MSFT in good and bad times and appreciate what Win 8 phone and Win 8 mean. This is not the Nokia of the past. As far as the stock price being used to predict the future. Profit taking upon the announment date is part of the market daily action. The stock had bounced 67% from its low and is up 8% on friday. This story has a way to go.
The most exciting part of the Lumia 920, Windows Phone 8, is yet to be announced. That's not to say that Nokia's Pureview camera and PureMotion screen don't give Andriod and Apple some things to think about. However, when Microsoft shows the functionality of WP8 on October 29th for the first time you jsu might want to take notes. Waht was shown in June 20th was the techy stuff and not the consumer stuff. Let's see what Apple's patented rectangles look like this Wed and then we can wait for Nokia's Lumia 920 price and the WP8 details.
It's Windows Phone 8… not Windows 8 Phone.
I am by no means not a fan of MicroNokiasoft Lumia, but they should give credit to where it is due. It may not be the best device there is, but the innovations are just extraordinary. I may not agree with the current Windows Phone strategy, but the hardware speaks for itself.
My oh my, how the tables have been turned around on this review. It actually sounds and looks familiar.
Oh wait… now I remember. That's how they bashed anti-Elop, Symbian and MeeGo over at mynokiablog. Proceed with the MicroNokiaSoft Windows Phone and Lumia bashing, you have our blessings. :D

Reading on, I was soon informed that the Indrema entertainment system would be a "revolutionary product built on a revolutionary operating system, Linux". An easy-to-use entertainment appliance: "Just turn it on, and sit back on your couch."
Not a PC, mind you. "This is no desktop Linux system," continued the website pitch, "this is Linux for TV, for game addicts, for total entertainment. Out of the box, you can hook it up and begin playing unbelievably realistic 3-D games, browsing the Net at high speed, or just enjoying personal TV or MP3 favorites."
"This is not your normal consumer electronics company," I thought. Indrema clearly seemed to have wrapped itself around Linux—in a big way. Questions like "Who are these guys?", "What are they up to?" and "What's their angle with respect to open source?" were coursing through my brain cells.
Desiring answers to these and many other questions, I quickly phoned up Indrema's CEO, John Gildred to request an opportunity to chat. A week later, Gildred and I spent an intense hour exploring his new start-up's dreams, strategies, product ideas and open-source philosophy. Here's what I learned.
"It was sort of a brainchild that my partners and I had, while playing Quake late at night," said Gildred, looking back at the genesis of his year-and-a-half-old start-up. "We were thinking: wouldn't it be great if somebody created an open-source game platform so that a guy like John Cormack (of Quake fame), or the next great developer of a new gaming paradigm, could get it to market a lot quicker and could get into the [game] 'console space' a lot easier?"
Gildred and the other Indrema founders observed that there were lots of innovations taking place for PC-based games, but not much for consumer game consoles, due to high barriers to entry for individual developers, which kept them from breaking into the console market. So, they resolved to create a new game console. One designed from the ground up, to provide a game development environment and infrastructure capable of enabling any level of developer—from an individual to a large corporation—to bring products to market easily, and without huge barriers to entry. And they decided that the keys to accomplishing this mission would be open-source software, open APIs and the Linux operating system.
The concept quickly gathered momentum. Developer interest was high. Best of all, the required technologies appeared to be available.
The Indrema Entertainment System (IES) is packaged in a sleek enclosure with the look and feel of a top-of-the-line VCR.
"You don't know that it has Linux in it," said Gildred. "You turn it on, and it runs like a consumer electronics device. You can watch TV as you normally would. But you can also pull up a screen and start playing your MP3s. Or start the web browser and begin browsing on the Internet."
The device offers a choice of broadband access, via its built-in 10/100-megabit Ethernet interface, or a dial-up connection. It comes with a game controller and will have at least one pre-loaded game so the user can begin playing right away. There are two ways to add games: by using the built-in DVD drive, or by downloading games purchased on-line.
"Isn't it, basically, a multifunction set-top box?" I naïvely asked.
"Set-top box," replied Gildred, "is a term that we run away from!" Gildred went on to explain that Indrema is determined to avoid having the IES positioned as a set-top box. "First and foremost, it's a game console," emphasized Gildred. "What the IES does best is play games. It plays games very well, is extremely fast, and offers an open development environment."
Nonetheless, that's not all the IES will do. After all, it's a fully functional multimedia Linux computer. "You will see applications that are designed for an IES platform that go beyond gaming," added Gildred, "because it has a lot under the hood that allows additional audio/video capability."
Some likely possibilities, mentioned by Gildred, include providing enhanced HDTV capabilities and downloading and playing music, video, and TV from content partner sites. Oh yes, and "Personal TV". Users will be able to download and play specific TV programs on demand. Not all IES capabilities will be available with the entry-level game console system. Personal TV, for example, will be reserved as a high-end (extra-cost) option.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Ron Riveras week of waiting will end Saturday when the Carolina Panthers second-year head coach is scheduled to meet with owner Jerry Richardson.
Rivera has been in limbo since the Panthers ended their season with a 44-38 win at New Orleans on Sunday. While seven teams fired their coaches Monday, Rivera spent the week in Charlotte meeting with his team, conducting exit interviews with players and preparing for his sit-down with Richardson.
Richardson has made no public comments since firing general manager Marty Hurney in October, the move that put Riveras future in jeopardy. According to Rivera, Richardson told him he wanted to see the team trend upward over the final 10 weeks of the season.
The Panthers (7-9) won five of their last six games, including their final four in a row, to finish in second place in the NFC South, a game better than Riveras first season. Despite tying a team record by placing 18 players on injured reserve including five starters the Panthers were 10th in the league in total defense, and 12th in total offense.
Rivera met with Richardson at least once a week during the season, saying the 76-year-old owner has been supportive.
Rivera, 13-19 in his first head-coaching job, has two years remaining on a four-year deal worth a reported $11.2 million. If he is back in Charlotte next season, Rivera likely would be asked to make staff changes.
He also would be working with a new GM.
The Panthers are slated to begin interviewing GM candidates Monday, with a pair of New York Giants executives still considered to be the leaders. Giants senior pro personnel analyst Dave Gettleman and director of college scouting Marc Ross have been linked to Carolina since November when the Panthers announced they had hired former Giants GM Ernie Accorsi to serve as a consultant.
But multiple team and league sources have said Richardson will decide Riveras future, not the next GM.
Saturdays meeting will go a long way in determining Riveras fate.

You need both prints, which are 8 inches by 10 inches, but let's start with part 1. DOWNLOAD WHO RUN THE WORLD PART 1 HERE.
I'll admit that there's nothing nerdy about Queen Bey, but if there's any idea I can get behind, it's the idea that all women need to have more confidence and power and bravery. So whatever other labels may swirl around us… please remember we have the power to run the world.
I'm obsessed with rocks and gems and stalagmites and anything that's pointy and shiny and comes from the earth naturally. Mother Nature is a beautiful magician.

I am sure that waldronate (the programmer of Wilbur) will be able to answer that try PMing him directly
I'm new to the whole digital mapping thing, and I've been experimenting with Wilbur 1.78 over the last couple of days.
One of my favourite features is the "River Flow" map.
What I'm curious about is whether it is possible to export a plain background river flow map (so it only shows the rivers and none of the height map)? If so, it would come in awfully hand for the map I'm currently working on.
I am sure that waldronate (the programmer of Wilbur) will be able to answer that try PMing him directly
Art Critic = Someone with the Eye of an Artist, Words of a Bard, and the Talent of a Rock.
Please take my critiques as someone who Wishes he had the Talent
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll PM him now.
Sending an IM to waldronate won't work. The Hotmail account got hacked and used to spam some folks, so Hotmail blocked the waldronate account and it'll be down for a while, possibly forever. That means that I can't log in to get my password for this site. I find it helpful that Hotmail requires you to log in to change your credentials, but a blocked account can't log in. Their "customer service" also refuses repeated requests for account reset. Ah well. That account had a life of 12 years, far longer that one might expect. It will be trying to recover the software licenses that I stupidly associated with it that will be the hard part.
The short answer for your question is to check the "solid background color" option on the river flow dialog. It may be called something slightly different (I don't have the software here in front of me to check at the moment), but there is a checkbox about solid color on the river flow dialog.
Yea, that sounds like Hotmail. But hopefully you'll be back on your feet soon enough.
I did try checking the solid background colour option, which gave me what I wanted. I just couldn't work out how to export just the river flow map. Everything I tried gave me a full height map.
When you do "Save As", try saving an image type described as "texture" rather than "surface". For example, "PNG Surface" will save the height field, while "PNG Texture" will save the viewed image (which may be the lighted image, a bump map, a normal map, a river flow map, or any of myriad other effects).
Aha! Worked a treat. Thank you!
I'm gonna hijack this thread for my own question, which is very very stupid, but... Here goes:
Where does Wilbur install? I can't find it anywhere...
Edit: Nevermind, I did find it eventually.

Aviation artist comes to Camarillo, praises pilot heroes
Art Fiedler sat quietly this week in front of a P-51 Mustang at the Commemorative Air Force Museum in Camarillo, busily signing prints of paintings of the plane he flew during World War II.
Fiedler, 89, talked about the plane as though he was ready to climb in and fly again.
"I love the P-51," he said. "This is a great plane, and flying it was a real pleasure, a real joy."
Fiedler was on hand with four other World War II P-51 pilots Tuesday to sign prints of paintings by John Shaw, an aviation artist visiting the Camarillo Airport museum.
Shaw's most recent painting, titled "Old Crow," is an image of P-51 pilot Bud Anderson, of Auburn, and the plane he flew during the war.
Fiedler is a "triple ace" in Air Force parlance, having shot down more than 16 enemy aircraft and earning the Silver Star, Legion of Merit and Distinguished Flying Cross.
"I came out of WWII and went to college, but after that, Korea started and I was recalled to duty," Fiedler said.
He and his wife, now 88, decided they liked military life better than civilian life. Fiedler stayed in what became the U.S. Air Force until 1975, when he retired as a colonel. He and his wife now live in Oxnard Shores.
"This is why I started doing these paintings in 1993," Shaw said. "I wanted to meet these guys. I love working with them and doing the research."
Many of Tuesday's visitors came to see Shaw and get a print of one of his paintings, but Shaw said the heroes are the guys who flew the planes. He's produced numerous paintings and picture books on World War II aircraft.
"I've found it brings them a lot of joy to see us younger folks out here appreciating what they have done," said Shaw, who lives in St. Augustine, Fla., with his wife, Keli. "I never dreamed I'd be doing this for a living. It's my interest in history that got me into it, and I want to keep the legacy of these guys going."
John Woolley, museum director for the Commemorative Air Force's Camarillo wing, said Shaw's work fits perfectly with the group's mission.
"We're about keeping this legacy alive and keeping these planes as flying memories of our history," Woolley said.
Woolley said the Camarillo wing's popularity is growing and the Commemorative Air Force executive board has recognized it.
"They've given their unanimous recommendation to the CAF Foundation that the Camarillo wing become a California air base," Woolley said.
Among other things, the designation would mean $350,000 in matching funds to help build out the museum.
"It would be really quite an honor if it happens," Woolley said.
The Camarillo wing boasts its own P-51, called Man-o-War, a two-seat plane in which rides are offered for a fee.
"We had a guy call us from Switzerland telling us he was going to be in town and wanted to fly in it, and we had a woman in Texas buy a flight in it for her husband," Woolley said. "These people are really grateful it's still flying."
Greg Billy and his wife, Janell, were visiting from Pittsburgh when they decided to check out the museum Tuesday and found Shaw and the World War II aces signing prints.
"My grandfather was a radio operator in the Pacific in WWII, so when I saw this pamphlet in our hotel, I wanted to come," Greg Billy said. "I got here on a great day. This is amazing."

WORCESTER, Mass. - Feb. 13, 2008- Ryan Bourque (Nashua, NH) hit two free throws with 14.4 seconds remaining to help lift host WPI to an exciting 70-68 victory over Springfield in NEWMAC men's basketball action on Wednesday evening.
Reigning NEWMAC Player of the Week Jamaal Gibbs (Norwalk, Conn.) gave Springfield a 63-60 advantage when he beat the shot clock buzzer with an acrobatic 3-pointer with just under three minutes remaining. After a pair of WPI free throws from Adam Lirette (Dover, NH), SC's Ryan Blackmon (Stamford, Conn.) drained a 3-pointer from the corner to give the Pride a 66-62 edge with 2:27 left.
Each team then had an empty possession before Bourque put home an offensive rebound to slice the deficit to two with 1:29 remaining. WPI sandwiched a Jerome Kirkland (Boston, MA) free throw between two steals before Kirkland drained two more from the charity strip to give the Engineers a 67-66 lead with 36.1 seconds left. The Pride quickly regained the lead when Blackmon hit a driving lay-up with 21.9 seconds remaining. WPI went inside to Bourque, who drew a foul and connected on both free throws with 14.4 seconds left to give WPI an advantage they would not relinquish at 69-68.
The Pride got one more good look but could not connect. Kirkland was fouled on the ensuing rebound and drained one free throw with 2.1 seconds remaining to close out the scoring.
With the victory, the Engineers (17-5, 8-1) claim at least a share of its fifth straight NEWMAC regular season title. The Crimson and Gray can make it three consecutive outright crowns and earn a first round bye and the right to host the NEWMAC Tournament championship semifinals and finals with just one win or a Babson loss over the last three dates of conference play.
It was Springfield that set the pace in the early going of both halves. The Pride opened the game with a 11-2 spurt only to see the Engineers whittle away at the lead and eventually take a 33-30 edge into the intermission. SC embarked upon a 12-2 run to start the second half and forced the home-standing Engineers to play catch-up throughout most of the second stanza.
Jim Marois (Worcester, MA) paced the WPI offensive effort with 15 points while Kirkland chipped in with 11. Bourque and Lirette both contributed 10 points with Lirette dishing out a team-best five assists.
Springfield (9-12, 4-5 NEWMAC) received a game-high 19 points from Blackmon, who came off the bench and connected on 8-of-11 shots from the floor. Gibbs tossed in 15 points and added a game-best seven helpers while Pat Creen (Sleepy Hollow, N.Y.) tallied 14 points and led all players with eight rebounds.
Both teams return to the hardwood with home games on Saturday. WPI hosts MIT at 3pm while the Pride entertains Wheaton at 1pm.

The first West End Reunion over the weekend was a success as over 200 current and former residents came to Eastside Park to catch up on old times and reminisce.
"It was a huge turnout," organizer Chris Nathan said. "It was overwhelming."
Some even told Nathan they estimated 300 people came to the park to reminisce about old times and celebrate their heritage from the west side of the city.
Also included in that success was $2,000 in donations and 400 lbs. of school supplies for Lena Dunn Elementary school. Among those school supplies were 100 sets of headphones for students.
"The supplies are sitting in my living room right now getting sorted," Nathan said.
Many of the donations came from events like T-shirt sales, a white elephant sale, quilt raffle and photo sales, but people came ready to help their school. A donation jar was brimming, full of small bills for the school. One donor quietly gave the reunion $500 for Lena Dunn.
The idea for the reunion came from a Facebook group for people that came from the West End. Eventually, the group came up with the idea to have a reunion and the response was large. At the park on Saturday, a pitch-in dinner was held and some had to eat outside because there were so many people.
In fact, many posted photos of long lost friends and neighbors on the Facebook page, along with well wishes and thank yous to the organizers of the event.
The West End Reunion donation drive has been one of many to help the struggling school in the past year, from various groups and organizations to individuals like Trevin Alford, a 7-year-old boy who has raised over $500 for Lena Dunn. The school has a 98 percent poverty rate.
Nathan said the group would like to make the reunion a yearly event if there is enough interest.
"Now they are starting to talk about next year," Nathan said.

"Premium Rush" is a breakneck chase movie about the daredevils who work as Manhattan bicycle messengers. With a map of the city imprinted in their brains, they hurtle down sidewalks, run red lights, go against traffic, jump obstacles and insist on using bikes without brakes. Whatever they're paid, it's not enough. If one hits your baby carriage in a crosswalk, you may not see it that way.
The title refers to the extra charge for fast delivery, I suppose. It may also refer to the film's adrenaline. The characters may not be deeply drawn, but you have to look fast to see them. This is an impressively skilled production that credits about a dozen stunt riders and even more CGI techs, and is never less than convincing as it shows messengers speeding fearlessly into traffic and threading their way through trucks that could flatten them.
Why do they work so hard and dangerously for relatively little money? They seem to do it for the high. They don't see themselves wearing suits and working in office cubicles. In the story told by "Premium Rush," it's less of a job, more of a noble mission, as three messengers outrace the NYPD to deliver a gambling ticket that only one of them knows the story behind. (It's to pay passage to the United States for the young son of the Chinese heroine, who worked three jobs to raise the money.)
Wilee (think WILE-E), played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, lean and intense, is said to be the best bike messenger in Manhattan, which is why Nima (Jamie Chung) asks for him. She needs the ticket delivered to a woman who will make a crucial call to China. Also in need of the ticket is a rotten cop named Bobby Monday, desperately played by Michael Shannon, whose gambling debts have him in mortal peril. The movie's first chase involves Wilee's bike and Monday's unmarked police car.
In a dizzying unfolding of events, two other messengers also get involved on Wilee's side. These are Vanessa (Dania Ramirez) and Manny (Wolé Parks). All would be gold medal winners if their jobs could be defined as Olympic sports. Bobby Monday also enlists several cops, one on a bike but outclassed; they don't really understand why they're chasing Wilee.
The bikes speed under trailer trucks, through food stores, up ramps, over barriers and so on. It's almost impossible to chase one with a car. At one point, the action involves Wilee and Vanessa actually escaping from an NYPD vehicle pound with the ticket ingeniously hidden.
And that's about that. If you're looking for depth and profundity, this is the wrong movie. But under the direction of David Koepp ("Secret Window," the screenplays for "Mission: Impossible" and "Spider-Man"), this is an expert and spellbinding adventure. I'm very weary of routine chase movies. There's nothing routine about "Premium Rush." Any action formula can be brought to life with enough imagination and energy.
