In high coverage areas, the Samsung Galaxy Note II manages to give us an average signal strength of -89 dBm – with no evidence of major fluctuations in the same area. In addition to that, we didn't experience any dropped calls during our testing in the greater Philadelphia and New York regions.
Whoa! Can we just say that we are astounded by the Note II's impeccable battery life, especially knowing it's packing the largest display out there on a smartphone? Packing along a higher than normal 3,100 mAh battery, we're able to push out two solid days with normal usage on a fully charged battery – albeit, the results are based on HSPA+ connections. Regardless of that, we're blow away by its longevity!
Sure, there's a premium price attached to the Samsung Galaxy Note II, but there's a very good reason for that. In T-Mobile's case, they're asking a mind-blowing $369.99 for the Note II – and that's with a 2-year contract ($649.99 outright), while AT&T and Sprint are selling it for $299. At one point not too long ago, the threshold seen with cream of the crop smartphones topped out at the $300 mark, but with this, it totally kicks down the door and establishes a new tally. However, there's a point in paying a slightly higher upfront cost, considering that T-Mobile's plans tend to be cheaper in the end, compared to the competition. No doubt, it's still an expensive thing to own, but as we've seen, this isn't your typical smartphone – as it embraces the best aspects of both tablets and smartphones all around.
Continuing to show us why the stylus isn't dead, Samsung has managed to reaffirm to us why it's a core feature with the Note II. With the original model, the S Pen showed us that it's capable of replicating the paper and pen experience. This time around, however, Samsung improves this and extends its functionality to a totally new level to make it even more compelling – while being practical at the same time.
Beyond that, this is one beastly of a smartphone in every way, shape, and form. From its hardcore specs sheet, to its lovely looking 5.5-inch HD Super AMOLED display, it's donning hardware that's no doubt fitting for any top-shelf smartphone. And just like with the international version, we have to give a mention to the handset's 3,100 mAh battery, which has proven itself to us in being more than equipped to handle our needs. Ultimately, it's the heavy incorporation of the S Pen combined with the deep features of the TouchWiz Nature UX that truly makes the Note II a one-of-a-kind device at the moment – mainly because there's nothing close to it right now. Simply put it folks, it's in a level of its own!
Software version of the review unit:
Android Version: 4.1.1
Build Number: JR003C.T889UVALJ1
Kernel Version: 3.0.31-260018
Samsung Galaxy Note II Video Review:
- Best HD Super AMOLED screen from Samsung to date
- Excellent battery life
- Deep integrated S Pen features
- Perfect for browsing the web
- Powerful quad-core processor

its difficult to pick one: LG optimus G or Lumia 920 or Note 2. My money dont know what to do D:
5. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Just a 9, PA? I would have thought it'd get 9 and change (equivalent of an A, rather than an A- or B+) but short of A+ (9.6+).
That said, I'd still get the Lumia 920 over anything and everything out this year, and probably into most of next year.

Hey do you know windows os well? I have a question to ask
12. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Yes, I own a Lumia 900 and use it for my daily phone if you're referring to Windows Phone. I also am very familiar with WIndows for computers as well. Feel free to ask anything!
16. sheik (Posts: 249; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
What's the difference between windows 8 between windows RT? I googled a lot only to find that even tech websites columnists have confusion about their difference. Is win RT a hybrid between win 7 & win8? Also whats the point of Win Pro? can you enlighten me on that?
28. Mobile-X-Pert (Posts: 565; Member since: 20 Dec 2010)
Windows RT is developed under the ARM architecture, so therefore it does not run any of the windows xp, vista, 7 programs. Windows 8 pro on the other hand, is developed under the X86/X64 architecture and it runs all of the legacy programs and apps from previous operating systems.
Note: Windows RT and Windows 8 pro share the same Native code (kernel) and both have the full desktop environment in the background.

Hey man I'm asking you this cz it's like your a xpert on mobile industry eh ? K so give me your idea bout iPhone and android (iOS and android ) which is the best between em ?
69. shandesilva (Posts: 79; Member since: 28 Mar 2012)
jshan my friend, you still havent made up your mind? :)..its android !,,,and the galaxy phones are much better than iphones in lots of aspects.
70. Mobile-X-Pert (Posts: 565; Member since: 20 Dec 2010)
I like both Android and iOS operating systems, they have their cons and pros.
Android is an open source operating system developed under the linux core, it gives you almost the same freedom as a linux operating system on a PC, many customazion options, the ability to root it and great third party support. But all this comes at the cost of performace in some cases, most Android phones lag at a certain point, and they are not the easiest phones to use. But I think they finally got it right with Jelly bean.
iOS: It's a well built ecosystem all around, music, videos, movies, apps...almost everything you need. However it is a closed ecosystem, meaning that everything you do or use has to come from Apple. Third pary support is great too. The operating system is very simple to use, but sometimes boring and that makes you wanna upgrade your phone every year. There is no lag at all, at least 98% of the time.
In my case, I trust the finns more (Nokia), finland has the highest student achievement rate. They always come up with great stuff, I also like their designs and build quality of their products,I like their maps system (which is the best), and finally the great support that they're giving to their Lumia line.
79. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Between ios and android, Android hands down. Better ecosystem, better phones, cheaper to own/operate, and upgrade.
That said, I've moved from Android to WP and haven't looked back. It's a good system, just not for me, and, really, probably not for most general non-enthusiast consumers. iphones have had their day, the world is moving on.

Seriously, there are no "cons" listed here, how is this not a 9.3-9.5?

Wait for nexus or Go with Note II. You will never regret for choosing that. Want reasons? Note comes with JB out of the box where as Opt G still runs ICS not to mention that 4.2 is gonna be released in next week. And note II is still lighter than 920 with its gigantic 5.5 screen and has better eco system compared to windows store.

Pick note 2. You don't have to insult yourself by buying LG.
13. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
LGs are just fine, and Nexus devices have a nice aspect to their ownership in terms of getting the newest OS versions sonner than anything else (typically, unless you're on verizon).
43. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4837; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
You can root & not have to deal with Verizon. I am on Android 4.1.2 & I have Verizon.
80. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
True, but you void the warranty on it, and I wouldn't do any rooting until after the warranty was up.
21. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4837; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
My thing with the Galaxy Note II will be the root scene. I root because I get total control of customization, features & performance. I know the source have been released but I am really interested to see how it does.
If the phone proves to have GREAT developer support on both the phone & processor then I am there. If not I am really hoping for this rumored HTC Nexus 5 to be a reality.
I have to admit that if I didn't root & would be ALL over this sexy/beast called the Samsung Galaxy Note II. For a stock phone this is REALLY hard to beat. The battery life is really, really impressive. Droid Razor MAXX HD who? lol

dont worry about Dev support as Sammy has already confirmed on twitter that they are looking into problems concerned with the proper documentation related to exynos. so I guess it will have great Dev support.
31. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
The phone is one sexy piece of hardware for sure. But is it worth nearly double the cost of the Nexus4.. that's my issue. And unless the N4 just sucks, I cant find many reasons that it's worth the extra cost. Have to wait to see N4 reviews to find out for sure though. Sammy definitely hit a high end home run with this thing though, that's for sure.
40. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4837; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
The Samsung Galaxy Note II has the S-Pen, the 3100 mAh beast of a battery, the support of up to a 64GB MicroSD card & the real stunner that beautiful 5.5" RGB Super AMOLED HD screen. All those things equal better than the LG Nexus 4. Plus more functionality.
To me the price is justifiable. Now add GREAT developer support as ZEUS.the.thunder.god is saying & I really thing this phone has no rival.
I just really hope what ZEUS.the.thunder.god says really pans out.
44. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
totally agree.
48. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
that 5.5 inch rgb screen is still amoled in which i am sure the IPS LCD on the N4 is much clearer and brighter plus its a quad core nexus for gods sakes! Gonna have key lime pie, a better processor S4 pro, and to top it off........THE PRICE MAY ONLY BE 400 DOLLARS!!!
sorry but no bueno for me.....
nexus all D way lol
49. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4837; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Hey that's you. I respect that. The Qualcomm quad-core S4 Pro is indeed the best, no doubt. The Exynos 4 quad-core @ 1.6GHz is not to shabby either. The screen is debatable, they are BOTH 720p screens just that one is 4.7" & one is 5.5".
You will be able to see & read things better on a larger screen so the advantage has to go to the bigger screen always.
You are right about the price point. Sure the LG Nexus 4 will be cheaper but it won't be able to do what the Samsung Galaxy Note II can, but the Samsung Galaxy Note II WILL be able to do what the LG Nexus 4 can.
Also about Key Lime Pie, I ALWAYS root. To me if you own an Android & you can follow steps like in a cook book, then you can most definitely root. If I get the Samsung Galaxy Note II, I will root that beast. I will make it how I want & make it perform better than Samsung could ever do, thanks to the GREAT Android developer ecosystem that is out there. I will have Android 4.2 Key Lime Pie. Maybe not the same day the source is released but as early as a couple of days to a full week after the LG Nexus 4 gets it. That is how fast rooted non Nexus phones get the most up to date Android versions.
So when I root my Samsung Galaxy Note II in theory I will be turning the phone into a 5.5", S-Pen powered, 3100 mAh battery & up to a 64GB MicroSD card reading Nexus. As always with the ability to put a custom ROM & Kernels that I choose.
That is the beauty of Android, plain & simple.
41. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
well I have to disagree with you Remix on the price. I think Sammy has justified it. As much as I love my GneX, I have to agree that this phone is a beast and real value for money. But thats just my opinion.
42. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4837; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Hey that is my opinion also.
45. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
thanx bro. and yeah I read about Sammy taking care of Exynos documentation issue. They are always very supportive when it comes to Dev community. Lets hope for the best. But I was really looking forward to GneX II this year so may be wait for next year or might go for Lg Nexus if price is right here in India.
39. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4837; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
That is good to hear. I love the LG Nexus 4 BUT the HUGE 5.5" screen is so epic.
50. MobileCaseReview (Posts: 242; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
SuperAndro, I agree. As a Note owner in the US, I've been very forunate to have amazing dev support. I've been running liquid smooth on my note since its release and this is straight out butter. The note 2 I'm sure will have plenty of dev support. As much as I love all the innovations Samsung put in, I'm gonna turn that beast into stock android regardless. Crossing my fingers there's a HTC nexus 5. I would hop all over that within seconds get myself into debt haha.
53. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4837; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Dude that makes me feel really good about purchasing the Samsung Galaxy Note II.
55. MobileCaseReview (Posts: 242; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
I'm in the same boat as you. Just sitting and waiting. Having this gigantic screen has spoiled me. I won't accept anything less than 5 inches now. One of my devs said he may be getting the Note II. He's done amazing work withe Gnote 1 so far. ManelScout4Life waiting to find out if he's going with the Gnote 2. Sadly, that will strongly sway my decision lol.
77. moronman66 (Posts: 162; Member since: 09 Jan 2012)
I dunno, from what I understand developers have a harder time developing for phones running Exynos processors, for some reason? I would get the phone if that is false, or just wait for either the HTC Nexus 5 or the HTC J Butterfly or whatever it's called, 5 Inch 1080p Screen with 440 pixel density, quad core Snapdragon S4 Pro and 2 gigs of RAM, count me in!
25. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
Case closed... As I have been stating for the last month nothing will be better than the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for the next 180 days period. This review proves my point 100% this device is worth any amount. And will be mines come November 1st.

I am rocking a Galaxy Nexus and I love Samsung products, but the Optimus G has my attention.
68. winsaki234 (Posts: 63; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
Galaxy Note 2
Optimus G = LG never update their phone
920 = bad ecosystem
73. enGet (Posts: 31; Member since: 19 Oct 2012)
Excatly my problem too, and the same phones as well :)
I am putting the Note in third place though because of the low quality case and screen, but I love the size. The Lumia is well-built and has Win 8 so it should be damn good. The Optimus looks awesome as well - high quality parts, awesome screen, etc, but I am a tad worried that Android hasn't fixed their wifi connectivity issues such as having to use a static IP address to connect to a wifi hotspot/modem/router (2 out the last 3 Androoid devices I have owned had this issue).
Right now I am waiting to see what the Nexus 4 (LG) looks like, then I'll make my final decision.
2. sheik (Posts: 249; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
You are wrong. The GN II front camera is 1.9 MP, not 1.3 MP

You are right, this has been fixed. Thanks
4. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
VZW, stop f*cking around.... RELEASE your version of the Note II!!!!
11. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
I know, I can't take it anymore (I feel like one of those people who habitually stand on-line when a phone is released; of course, this is different because it's 'the Next Big Thing', unlike the same old small thing that those other people wait on-line for [dangle preposition...]).
17. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
November is my decision month. Specifically, early November (9th). If VZW hasn't announced for late November shipping, I may have bite the bullet and go with the AT&T edition. I am not going to wait into December for VZW to ship something this good.
22. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
Patience... Verizon will not release this in the same 2-week return window as the RAZR HD/RAZR MAXX HD launch. My educated guess is a November 8th release date on Verizon. "You can quote me on that."
27. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Yeah patience.... Ever walk around with a small pebble in your shoe? At some point, you just have to stop and remove the shoe to get rid of the pebble. For me, that point will occur when the AT&T edition of the Note II ships.
9.0. What a joke, PA!
37. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
No one knows more about that proverbial "pebble" than I. After all, I dealt for years with Microsoft Windows phones after Windows Mobile 2003SE hoping that they would continue to evolve
but, instead experienced the steady spiraling devolution of Windows Mobile 5,
5.1, 6.0, 6.1, 6.5, etc!
So, I truly feel ya'
23. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Edit: I am 'justifying' AT&T by trying to convince myself that it would be good to have a second carrier for those times when VZW doesn't have coverage.... Lame, I know, but still, that is how bad I want this toy.
Come on VZW!!!! Your version has already received certification from the FCC, so it is nothing more than you f*cking with the market.

"John V." this phone deserves a "10" solely based on that video posted yesterday demoing the use of the S-Pen to paint on top of all the other hardware that completely blows anything else, including that teeny-tiny "other" phone with the headphone jack now on the bottom' (which is half a phone compared to the G-Note II).
15. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Yeah, I would agree that PA has down-rated the Note II. If the iP5 gets a 9 with all of its 'issues', the Note II rates at least a 9.5.
20. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
Thank you, I didn't want to point out all those issues for fear of getting another "warning". But, you're right that "other" phone (if you can call it a phone) has a host of hardware and software issues and it, too, got a "9". Someone at PhoneArena (cough, cough Michael H.) should review, revise and update "John V's" atrocious rating.
52. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
After all its iPhonearena guys. :(
24. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Yes, the Note II deserves a 9.5 at least. Especially since there is no cons list if you look.

"Regardless of that noteworthy item, it's still a bit unwieldy to hold in the hand, making it more suitable for two-handed operation."
The Ipad Mini 7.9 can be used with 1 hand but a PHONE can't?
Are you mental?
Your stating a 5.5 inch phone is more sutible for 2 hands, and a Ipad mini is comfortable with 1 hand at 7.9?
35. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
Yeah, but you forget, the MiNiPad has this new feature called "Thumb Detection"; an entire article devoted to it was posted here last evening.
Here's to "Big Thumbs" on PhoneArena.

I did the same thing in April (for WP7, of course, not 8) and haven't looked back. No crashes, no restarting launchers, no random reboots, great signal and voice quality, and the data and memory isn't being hogged by a bunch of poorly written apps

"Discrete" vs. "discreet." Look it up. Basically, you used the wrong term throughout the article. Otherwise, nice review!

John V is this year's Ray S for the Note. Score of 9 without a con, where did the 1 go? The absence of fruit logo probably hid it. Seriously I've been using the Note 2 for a week now and I think it's the most fluid android yet both hardware and software. coming from Note 1 I'm impressed to the maxx.
32. lzsbleach (Posts: 155; Member since: 20 May 2012)
I think he gave it a 9 because of the size; everyone doesn't want a mini tablet for a phone but other than that this phone is like a 9.7 with people who don't mind the size.

A stride that marked the turn of the century—realizing the possibility of reprogramming embryonic and adult fibroblasts into pluripotent stem cells by the co-expression of only four gene products—opened a vibrant chapter in the biomedical sciences.
In the short time that has elapsed since that seminal discovery, new and increasingly versatile strategies have been proposed to develop reprogramming protocols that are not only cost- and time-effective, but also safer.
"Currently, a major interest in the field of stem cell research is the possibility of reprogramming fibroblasts into other tissue-specific cell types without reverting to the pluripotent state," says Sheng Ding, Ph.D., professor and investigator at the University of California, San Francisco, and the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease.
Because pluripotent stem cells that fail to undergo differentiation are tumorigenic, such a direct reprogramming approach presents a superior safety profile. "We can use this type of reprogramming in tissue culture, ex vivo, to manufacture large numbers of functional cell types," Dr. Ding says.
Another strategy is to deliver certain drugs into the region of tissue damage and induce in situ reprogramming. Dr. Ding and his colleagues recently developed two different paradigms for cell reprogramming. One of them relies on cell type-specific factors that can be delivered into fibroblasts to generate the desired cell type. "Another approach that we developed, which provides a more universal paradigm for reprogramming, uses generic reprogramming factors only for a short period of time, to epigenetically activate fibroblasts, and those plastic fibroblasts are subsequently exposed to a different type of signal to fully differentiate," he explains.
Using this strategy, Dr. Ding and his colleagues generated cardiac, neural progenitor, and blood vessel endothelial cells, without reverting to pluripotency as an intermediate step. This process very much resembles the one encountered in other species in vivo, wherein regeneration can occur through the transient, low-level expression of stem cell factors. "In ongoing studies, we have additionally shown the possibility of generating pancreatic cells and hepatocytes by direct reprogramming," he says.
"There is long-term value in developing strategies to deliver cells as medicines," says George Q. Daley, M.D., Ph.D, professor of hematology and oncology at Children's Hospital Boston.
Significant research efforts in Dr. Daley's group are focusing on developing blood stem cells for clinical applications. He and his colleagues recently revealed that the highly conserved Notch signaling pathway, previously implicated in several hematopoietic conditions, plays a critical role in the early stages of hematopoiesis in human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), a finding that is opening new avenues toward understanding hematopoietic fate specification.
Particularly for blood cell diseases with a known genetic basis, cell-based therapies are emerging as a promising option, but safety considerations—due in part to possible immune responses—are a limiting factor. The use of iPSCs, in which the genetic defect is corrected, may circumvent this concern. However, an insufficiently understood phenomenon in cellular reprogramming revolves around the notion that not all iPSCs are identical. Significant functional variability, defined as differences between embryonic stem cells and iPSCs, as well as clone-to-clone heterogeneity were found, and appear to be shaped by a combination of genetic and epigenetic contributions.
"It is perplexing how unpredictable some stem cells are, and we do not yet have a good understanding of this phenomenon," Dr. Daley says.
Stem cell variability and heterogeneity appear to be more accentuated for certain cell types and pose major roadblocks in implementing clinical applications. Dr. Daley and his colleagues are focusing on translating a technology to generate platelets of sufficient robustness for stem cell-based therapies.
"We are trying to determine how many cell lines we need to generate, to reasonably expect to find one with the desirable performance properties, and this has to be balanced against the extremely high costs," he says.
"About a decade ago, Rafael Irizarry [Ph.D.] and I developed a genomic array-based method to look in an unbiased way at methylation over a region encompassing a large fraction of the methylome," says Andrew P. Feinberg, M.D., professor of molecular medicine at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Taking this approach, known as comprehensive high-throughput array-based relative methylation, the researchers revealed that most tissue-specific DNA methylation differences, which historically were thought to be confined at CpG islands, are in fact situated at regions within approximately two kilobases from their boundaries, in the so-called CpG island shores. Whole-genome bisulfide sequencing showed that the sharp demarcation between the high methylation found at CpG islands and the lower methylation found at CpG island shores is lost in cancer, and the shift of the boundaries toward the CpG islands or away from them results in aberrant methylation patterns.
An additional stride toward understanding genome-wide DNA methylation in disease came about when, in a comparison between colorectal cancer and normal colorectal mucosa from the same patients, the researchers identified large chromosomal blocks of DNA, extending over approximately half the genome, that become hypomethylated in cancer. Largely corresponding to structures known as LOCKs (large organized chromatin lysine modification regions), these regions also show an approximately 80% overlap with lamin-associated domains, which were found microscopically and are thought to be associated with the nuclear membrane. These genomic regions, which correspond to heterochromatin and are highly methylated in normal cells, increase in size during differentiation and are lost in cancer.
Collectively, these findings unveil a much more complex set of epigenetic perturbations characterizing the malignant state than previously thought. "A general dysregulation of DNA methylation occurs in cancer," Dr. Feinberg explains.
These structural insights into genome-wide DNA methylation led to a key observation. "We found an enormous overlap in the regions that are altered in several types of cancer and in those that are changed during stem cell reprogramming, and both of them are very much related to regions where DNA methylation normally changes in a tissue-specific manner," he says.
This pointed the researchers toward the possibility that, epigenetically, cancer cells may acquire methylation patterns similar to the ones that are found in other tissue types. By using experimental and modeling approaches to integrate these findings, Dr. Feinberg and his colleagues revealed that the defining epigenetic trait in cancer is not so much the nature of the DNA methylation changes, as their stochasticity.
"There is some type of randomization of the methylation pattern, and as a result a tumor might be much better defined by its departure from the normal epigenetic pattern than by a switch to a different pattern," Dr. Feinberg says. This is reminiscent of the stochasticity that can be observed during normal development, where highly variable DNA methylation patterns are reported even in genetically identical animals. "We think that the same is true in cancer, and the opening of this stochasticity allows cancer cells to be selected and to gain a growth advantage at the expense of the host," he adds.

Drive On!
Drive On!
With 40 percent of dairy operators over the age of 55, some may speculate some push-back to adapting to new information. The average dairy producer hovers around this age demographic. However, all producers, whether 18 or 68 years old, know how important keeping up on information affects their business.
Regardless of age or comfort level, we all need to learn and adapt to new information. I read a recent article titled, "Want to give up? Think you are too old to try something new?" Success or failure is not dependent on age, but it's a mindset. Here are a few well-known people who had great success late in their lives:
- The Sistine Chapel was painted by Michelangelo at the age of 71.
- At age 58, Doc Councilman became the oldest person ever to swim the English Channel.
- Physician Albert Schweitzer was still performing operations at the age of 89 at his African hospital.
Each year since 1956, Hoard's Dairyman conducts a Continuing Market Survey(CMS) to assess the trends in the dairy industry. Producers are randomly selected from our readership to answer over 100 questions on their operations – everything from the type of equipment they use, crops grown, health management protocols, and products purchased.
Starting in 1981, computer usage was added to the survey. Thirty years ago, only 8.4 percent of producers owned a computer, but 10.8 percent used a computer. With more producers seeing the need to use a computer in their business, that number has grown to 66 percent of producers surveyed today who own a computer for personal or farm use.
So, in three decades, computer use has increased eight-fold. And while that trend will continue, those who already use computer-based technology will have to learn the new and enhanced features to their already-existent hardware. New upgrades to computer software, additional applications on smart-phones, and new modules for feeding and ration formulation will force even the tehno-savvy to keep up.
Imagine if a computer was still simply used as a typing device and a phone just for talking!
As technology advances, don't forget to bring along a few of your friends who might not be so anxious to try something new. You can provide guidance as a trusted co-pilot. Drive on the information super highway and bring everyone up to speed!
A little past meets present humor for you!

Apple's disappointments and successes with the iPhone 4S announcement
0. phoneArena 05 Oct 2011, 08:56 posted on
Apple's event shows it has fallen into the Mac routine, where it may not be able to lead on all features or hardware, but will on focus on its core competencies, as well as unity, experience, and customer loyalty...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

apple failed....
iPhone 4 was the climax of Apple and now the fall has started...
3. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
Apple lost it's momentum. I think their only focus now is to sue and fool people into getting more and more money! GREEDY CRAPPLE. THEY WILL BOW TO GOOGLE SOON.
187. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@bob. And how did Apple lose their momentum? Do you have some sales figures of the ip4s already that no one has seen yet? How can you say that they lost their momentum when all blog sites are all about the ip4s? Count how many comments are posted on here versus the next article about an android device, lol. The ip4s is the most talked about device. It hasn't lost its momentum at all. It's actually gaining momentum. The more people look at what the ip4s can do, the more they're forgetting about those rumored expectations. And when reality sinks in, people would learn to accept what the ip4s really is and would realize that it's actually an awesome phone :)
217. wassup (Posts: 565; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
umm.... apple's stock has fallen... and more people are going to android..so yeah, it HAS lost its momentum.
the more people look at the iP4S, they realise that android can already do that, and so much more.
People don't HAVE to learn it's an awesome phone, either it's awesome as soon as you see it (which the i4 was, but the i4S isn't) or it isn't( aka i4S)
don't worry though 530, next year you can finally enjoy android 2.0, i'm sure apple will steal more features.
224. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@wassup. It was stated several times that the fall on Apple's stock was normal. You didn't read that part huh? Or are you playing blind perhaps :)
Not all of us share the same sentiments obviously. But there are plenty of people who do not favor android or who regretted getting an android device. As I have said, and also several articles. There were blown out expectations about the next iphone, and yes, that makes a lot of difference, and that affects ones impression when they expect something and get something else.
Apple stealing from android? Don't forget that the iphone came out in 2007, and android phones in 2008. Everything on your android device is taken from the iphone :)
Who's coming up with a Siri-like assistant in q1 of 2012 again? Oh yes, it's android :)
236. NVPMOTHAF (Posts: 78; Member since: 28 Sep 2011)
actually if you must know wassup.......If you actually work for a carrier, there are more and more android users everyday that want to switch to iphone. In fact I haven't had anyone with an iphone want to switch to an android. Especially the ones that have came from androids to the iphone. I gues people that switch from droid's to iphones realize how unstable the androids are and don't want to download any third party apps to utilize all the features

not really… look at how many articles were just published for this single phone… it may not be the most technical phone ever, but i bet you anything it will sell like madness and apple will again make tons of money… no joke-- apple understands their market and although i am disappointed, i am not gonna say apple failed… especially since i will be buying one myself…

Fandroids are laughing now, but they will cry starting October 7th. Then they'll go back to their same lame sheep arguments.
61. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
i'm guessing October 7th is when something will supposedly fail am i right? like that's going to happen and even if it did there's a fat chance keeping "Fandroids" down with just one failed announcement. we'll have like 2 more in the next few months to make up for it and then some, see unlike what Apple makes you go through, we get nice announcements year round instead of twiddling our thumbs waiting for Apple and their one chance to woo us with 1 new iPhone.

Android phones have more impressive phones when it comes to specs, in other words in theory. But iPhones (with their outdated specs) will out perform android phones. Of course if u do not believe this wait for the iPhone 4s vs galaxy s2, Droid prime...any android phone tht comes out this year, videos on YouTube. Then make ur comments about how android phones are better than iPhones...if the iPhone 4s is beaten by any android phone tht comes out this year or in the past I will formally apologize to all of u android fanboys...and go and get an android phone
181. lolwut (unregistered)
outdated specs but will out perform android? nice contradiction there buddy. The iPhone is just an icon the liberal media had brainwashed you into thinking its better
208. joak (unregistered)
dude just make sure you watch the iphone 4s vs all other android phones on youtube...when they come out. after you watch those videos then you can talk.
To all you guys out there dont know which you prefer (ignore all that we have said) go to a verizon, att and sprint store and compare the iphone 4s to any other android phone for yourself and come to your own conclusion...which ever one you choose its cool
195. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
how do you think the iPhone will be better? (legit question)
213. joak (unregistered)
dude that is one question i would like to know the answer too...how does a phone with lower specs compete with another phone with top of the line specs and actually beat it...i mean its like it should be illegal for the iphone to have the same specs as its android phone counterpart. I ask myself this question everytime an android phone comes out. There is no doubt that android has drastically grown over the years, there is no doubt that under the hood android phones have higher specs than the iphone, and its true that the galaxy s2 rocks...(like seriously, go check it out if you dont believe it) but nevertheless the iphone 4s will out perform the galaxy s2... (whether it would out sell the galaxy s2 or anyother latest android phone, i have no clue, actually with all this negativity against the iphone i doubt that it would), and like i said if you do not believe this you dont have to take my word for it...go and watch iphone 4s vs any other android phone videos that will most likely soon start pooping up on youtube in like the next couple of weeks
239. Paxmoos (unregistered)
Then you should be apologizing right now....No need to buy an Android...Stick with your iPhone.

190. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@thump. Well based on the iphone's successful track record, and based on android fanboys' failed track record on iphone sales predictions. The ip4s will be another bestseller. We heard this same tune with the ip3gs. Android fanboys saying that the ip3gs will not sell because it's just another ip3g. But look at what happened. The ip3gs easily beat the competition and went on sale even now. Same thing will happen with the ip4s. It's not an iphone redesign, but a level up from the ip4, just like the ip3gs was with the ip3g. And of course, android fanboys will be proven wrong once again, but then they will come back SHAMELESSLY attacking Apple again and iphone users again. What a dumb group of fanboys :)

Hi Taco.....
Whats special about October 7th?
Any more announcement coming?
103. saiki4116 (Posts: 379; Member since: 31 Mar 2011)
wait for october 11th prime will kick iphone4s(dumbest upgrade.....)
115. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
taco, at this point i would be holding your "fanboys will cry" comments until after the ICS announcement next week. Apple fumbled the ball and now its totally on Google to see if it can pick it and run for the touchdown.
The 4s will sell well, but your in delusion land if u think its going to set records like the last ones did. Never before has Apple's stock DROPPED after an announcemet. Normally it jumps as everyone wants in on the gravy train. It dropped because investers were selling it off. That should be a big clue to you. Poll after poll showed apple's big sales would have been with an i5 announcement and less than 25% of those same people that wanted the i5 were going to buy a 4s.
169. MehItswhatever (unregistered)
The Apple stock dropping argument is dumb. The stock normally does drop afterproduct announcements.
I love my 2 Android phones, but I was an iPhone user for over 2 years and I can honestly say that I miss the app store and the stability. I have an upgrade available and I'm planning on using it on the Prime for 4G access, but the iPhone is a solid device and I'm considering it.
This was a very well written article about why the iPhone 4S should not be overlooked.
159. Hizzo (unregistered)
I used the Galaxy SII (July-Sept through Amazon) after being disappointed by an iPhone no show this summer. The so called "best" Android phone out there is not all it's hyped up to be either. The screen is nice, mostly because of the size, and so was the ATT HSPA+ connection, but everything else wasn't up to par compared to my year old iPhone 4. Yes it had more features, but everything it did that iOS could do felt beta-like: from the internet browsing to the mailbox (Google Maps/Navigation is a definite exemption). The most glaring example is the quality of Apps. The ones I used (Pulse, WatchESPN, Netflix, Hulu Plus, HBO Go, Words with Friends, Chase Mobile, Skype...etc.) did not exhibit the same smoothness found in the single core iPhone 4. I tried rooting and installing ROMs a couple weeks after my purchase to make the experience better only to find that it was more of the same. Android owners bash on the iPhone for the things it can't do, but don't seem to realize that choosing to do few things really well, can be better than doing more things half assed.
Like everyone else, I was disappointed by the lack of redesign, but I'm still excited for the iPhone 4S. Just because it looks the same doesn't mean it's not an upgrade. The GSI to GSII had the same "incremental" upgrade the iPhone 4 to 4S sans the .3 in. increase in screen size.
Apple is moving forward.
Do "you" want to fall behind?
Get a Galaxy SII and get disappointed for a third time this year.
164. bobnnate (Posts: 25; Member since: 28 Aug 2011)
how will we cry October 7th. we'll just wail till Samsungs tech event when they reveal the nexus prime. and wouldn't we be crying already since the iphone 4 was already released. so apple just released the iphone 4 twice to have isheep graze on the apple.so simple.

okay so how do you benefit from this other than the signature iFan pride of fitting in with the majority by having the same unimpressive phone?
71. taco50 (banned) (Posts: 5506; Member since: 08 Oct 2009)
Hey dumb fanboy don't you always scream about android having more marketshare? So hat would make you the follower not me.
90. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
i've never said that. i know i'm in the minority but why does that matter when i have a superior phone? don't mistake the iPhone's popularity for superiority.

Um well, actually, being that the iphone is the number one selling smart phone, yes you would be the follower.
118. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
that makes no sense becuase the majority has an android phone…. so please dont argue invalid points,… and i will get an iphone purely becuase of the apps… even though android rivals numbers, it seriously is not comparable… apple has created the best app store and that is what will make me buy the iphone…. but if they release a 5 in january or something, i will be extremely pissed
139. vishu9 (Posts: 252; Member since: 03 Mar 2011)
u wish!!..keep dreaming iSheep..Android ICS is gonna make ur iOS 5 look like its from 10,000BC!..haha

Developers make or break the App Store not Apple and most of them are making their apps available for the Android Market now that they're seeing how successful Google's platform has become.
242. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
yes but it isnt right now.. in the future i will switch to android if they actually do get as good of an app store
245. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
yeah..we actually have a pretty good selection. there's very few instances where i see an interesting app available for the iPhone that isn't available for my Droid 3.

You would claim an oblong rock with an Apple logo scratched into it was superior to an Android device designed by Hephaestus himself. Probably related to your former choices of homoerotic profile pics, but who am I to judge? ;)
119. maxican16 (Posts: 364; Member since: 29 Sep 2011)
Hephaestus reference! Never thought I'd see that. Brought a smile to my face =]

As the average reader scrambles to find out who Hephaestus is, Snowgator just laughs really, realy hard.
Even if you didn't make me laugh, Snigs, I would have thumbed you up just for the Iron Giant ...

we love your delusional quips miz.. lol
122. roldefol (Posts: 4242; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
And I don't see Taco or Miz taking issue with any of the critical points of the article. Their only line of attack is irrational digs at Android fans. It's the phone equivalent of mudslinging because your own candidate has nothing new to say.
135. snowgator (Posts: 3583; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
2 ways to tell someone is losing an argument:
1) They change the subject.
2) They take cheap shots.
But, since it is Miz, I would have been bummed if he would have been any different...
142. roldefol (Posts: 4242; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
It just gets frustrating when for once Taco makes a couple decent points, and when we try to engage him in discussion, rather than admit Android has any advantages, he does (1) or (2). I've had the same problem discussing politics with people who are strongly on one side or the other. Which tells me that some people's iPhone/Android fanhood has become purely emotional.

@teller. I'm sure you also said that with the ip3gs, and the ip4, and now the ip4s. And it makes you android fanboys look dumb when proven wrong over and over again . And you guys never learned :)
189. roldefol (Posts: 4242; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
That's just Fandroid hyperbole. Apple and the iPhone aren't going anywhere. If they don't change with the times though, they will stagnate.
202. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@rolde. The iphone did not stagnate. It leveled up from a single core to a dual core. What were you expecting? A quad core? Really? It also improved from a 5mp to an 8mp camera. It leveled up from 780p to full 1080p HD. It improved its camera sensor and added another lens. It increased its RAM from 512mb to 1gb. It improved its antenna. It integrated an AI assistant Siri. Is that what you call stagnant? I don't think so my friend.
204. roldefol (Posts: 4242; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
When the iP4 came out, 1 Ghz processors were just coming on the market, few phones had a high-resolution screen, and the LTE network was still being constructed. That phone was at the head of the pack for smartphones and remained there for the better part of a year. I could name a half dozen Android phones with 1 Ghz dual cores, full HD recording, 1 GB RAM and 8 MP cameras on the market, and another half dozen coming before the end of 2011 with even better specs. They'll also have LTE. Apple will simply not be at the head of the pack with this product.
225. 530gemini (Posts: 2198; Member since: 09 Sep 2010)
@rold. Unlike Apple, android OEM's release new android devices every month. I guess they do that so they can be the first to release something ahead of Apple. But then which particular phone model sold the most? It's the ip4. 2nd place is the ip3gs. Great huh. Yes, you could probably name a dozen or more dual core android phones out there, but name one who gives the same performance, stability, consistency as the iphone. NONE. Better specs does not always equal better performance.
228. roldefol (Posts: 4242; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Why do you (and Taco) keep bringing up the sales figure? There's only one phone iPhone 4S, one iPhone 4, one iPhone 3GS. There are HUNDREDS of Android phones, and that's the way we like it! Android phones are not and never will be about outselling the iPhone on an individual basis. They're about variety in power, pricing, shape and size - something for everyone.
No, better specs don't always equal better performance. What I'm saying is that in the coming weeks, there will be multiple Android phones that beat the iPhone's performance, something that wasn't true 2, 3, 4 years back. The market has changed, but Apple is acting like they still own it.
Stability may always be a selling point of the iPhone (Verizon even markets the iPhone's stability in their latest lit), but that doesn't make it the best for everyone.

BATAVIA – City school district voters will get a preview of a $42 million budget to operate the city's four schools at a Board of Education presentation tonight.
The 7 p.m. session in the high school's library/media center at 260 State St. will highlight a 2 percent property tax increase, down from over 5 percent in the initial budget plan, which officials began working on last fall.
Scott C. Rozanski, business administrator, will outline the budget, in which savings were aided by eight retirements and the elimination of a resource officer. The tax rate will rise 46 cents to about $40 per thousand of assessed value for most households.
Voters at the election next Tuesday will also decide the fate of a scaled-down "need-to-do-now" proposal for $3.8 million in improvements and renovations of the district's six buildings. A previous, more ambitious $8 million program of renovations was rejected by voters two years ago.
Title IX and disability laws require improvements at VanDetta Stadium, the district's athletic field. They are part of the package along with the four schools, a former elementary school now rented and Richmond Memorial Library.
The 2013-14 budget, effective July 1, is nearly $2 million more than the present spending plan, but much of it will be offset by state aid. The capital project is funded by 80 percent state funds and the district's capital reserves.
A second proposition on the ballot will be to eliminate the one-mile minimum distance for bus transportation for kindergarten and first-grade students.
Two board members also will be chosen. Both Patrick D. Burk, the board's longest-serving member, and newcomer Peter Cecere are running unopposed for three-year terms. It will be Burk's 28th year on the board.

Brian Moorman left Buffalo to punt for the Dallas Cowboys, but he wants fans and others to know that his heart is still here.
The senior member on the Buffalo Bills roster was cut Sept. 25, a Tuesday, the day off for the football players. That's also the day when Moorman would usually make his way to the pediatric unit on the sixth floor of Roswell Park Cancer Institute.
On Friday, during a bye week for the Cowboys, Moorman was back in Buffalo at the cancer center to assure patients, their families and the staff that he intends to maintain the connection he built with them regardless of what happens with his football career.
Moorman started with the Bills in 2001 and immediately got involved at the cancer center. He was touched by the stories he heard and wanted to do more with more children.
"I wanted to give back to the community," he said. "But as time went on, I got to know more families and created a bond. I thought I could make a difference."
So, in 2004, he and his wife, Amber, created the PUNT Foundation, their own charitable organization focused on children with cancer. Among other things, the group tries to grant young patients' wishes, offers financial support to families, brings disabled kids to Bills games, and provides gift cards to patients' families at Christmas.
"I want to put a smile on their faces," Moorman said. "I'm a punter, not a star quarterback. But I had a platform, an opportunity. I was blessed."
PUNT stands for perseverance, understanding, encouragement and triumph – all words that come to mind in the pediatric unit, where a visit from a celebrity or athlete can make a big difference in the lives of patients.
Moorman spoke modestly about his charitable work.
"I don't feel any different from anyone else," he said. "There are other athletes in Buffalo who do a lot. There are a great group of guys on this [Bills] team."
But staff and family members tell a different story.
They say Moorman didn't just make guest appearances or donate money. He dedicated himself to the effort.
In a text to the unit the day Moorman was cut, he wrote, "Don't worry about us. We're fine," one staff member recalled. "Keep those kids smiling."
Brandee Aquilino, the pediatric psychologist, said the unit receives many celebrities and athletes, but Moorman has stood out.
"He comes in every Tuesday. He stays and visits and talks to the kids. He gets to know their names and their families. He checks up on kids. He goes to their homes," she said. "He gives a personal touch that helps families get through this. He touches people's hearts."
There were tears as Moorman, wearing a Cowboys jersey, made his way through the unit. Family members talked about the role he played in their lives.
Lynn Pawlak of Orchard Park, for instance, told of how Moorman befriended her 17-year-old son, Andrew, who suffered from a rare form of terminal sarcoma.
Moorman met Andrew during one of his regular Tuesday rounds in the unit and they connected. He asked Andrew if the teenager had any wishes he would like granted, and Andrew mentioned he would love a Bills helmet.
In a matter of days, Moorman supplied one signed by the players.
When Andrew came home from the hospital, Moorman visited the house to check on him.
He and Amber delivered presents to the family at Christmas.
In 2011, as Andrew's condition declined and he was no longer able to walk, Moorman granted him another wish. Andrew, who loved to swim, hoped to get into the water once more.
Moorman arranged to have the family picked up by limousine, greeted by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick at a local hotel with a pool, and treated to an overnight stay.
Andrew died three days later on Dec. 19 and Moorman made sure to attend the memorial service at the church. After her son's death, he visited Pawlak at her home just to talk.
"We have that last happy memory because of Brian," she said.
Moorman, who was born in Wichita, Kansas, and attended Pittsburg State University there, signed with the Bills as a free agent. He holds virtually every Buffalo Bills punting record.
He was a second-team choice on the NFL's All-Decade Team for the 2000s. He was a Pro Bowler in 2006 and 2007 and made first-team All-Pro in 2005 and 2006. He was a team captain for seven years.
Moorman said getting cut by the Bills was not a total surprise because he was in the last year of his contract. However, if he was not going to be a Bill anymore, he thought the decision would come at the end of the season.
"Anyone is going to be surprised to be cut, but I was mentally prepared because it was the last year of my contract," he said. "It's a challenge. But like so much in life, it's about how you respond."
No matter what, he said he still considers himself a part of the Buffalo community.
He and his wife intend to continue the work of the PUNT Foundation. That is the message he wants to deliver to those who have benefited from and supported the organization, and those who will need help in the future.
"I just want them to know that they have a friend," he said. "I have the deepest respect for what they are going through."

If you have a Sprint cell phone contract and have been waiting for a contract change in order to cancel your contract, an opportunity while you were watching the ball drop in Times Square! Sprint announced that they would be increasing the Administrative Charge to $0.99 per line, which is a material change to the contract and is your chance to get it terminated while avoiding the early termination fees (ETF).
From their website:
Administrative Charge
Effective Jan. 1, 2009, the Administrative
Charge will increase to $0.99 per line. For
details on surcharges, please see Sprint Terms
& Conditions or visit sprint.com/taxesandfees [4]
If you can cancel (ETF waiver), it may be a way for you to get some additional services for free because they'll want you back on contract or to stick with them. A warning though, as an experience by one Consumerist reader [5] has shown, Spring won't give up without a fight. Unfortunately, you'll have to do it before the end of January because you need to dispute changes within 30 days.
Good luck!

The Randolph County Courtroom will transform into the people's courtroom come Thursday.
Randolph County Circuit Court Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong has announced that the courtroom - located on the second floor of the Randolph County Courthouse - will serve as the setting for the third annual People's Law School.
The People's Law School is a series of free weekly lectures on a variety of law-related topics that will span six consecutive weeks starting Thursday. Classes will take place from 6 to 8:30 p.m. each Thursday night through Feb. 28.
This year's law school will feature 15 local lawyers, all five Randolph County probation officers and the county's three magistrates, all of whom have volunteered their time to either offer instruction or moderate programs. Subjects of discussion will be drug courts and drug abuse; criminal law; elderly law/will and estates/end-of-life planning; family law; land rights, including surface and mineral; and abuse and neglect.
For the first time this year, the People's Law School will stage a mock criminal trial, Wilfong said, and drug courts and drug abuse are other new addition she believes will be both relevant and beneficial to participants.
"People have a lot of questions about drugs," Wilfong said in a recent interview with The Inter-Mountain. "They want to know, 'how do I know if my kid is using?' Not everyone knows what suboxone is, what meth is, what crack is, what heroin is. They don't necessarily know bath salts aren't Calgon."
Panelists and moderators will be able to supply answers to some of those questions free of charge, thanks to the Randolph County Commission's willingness to sponsor the People's Law School. The commission's support means participants won't be charged a registration fee.
"Our commission is very proactive when it comes to community education and outreach, and I appreciate the support I receive from them," Wilfong said.
Randolph County Commissioner Mike Taylor called the People's Law School "a tremendous service to the citizens of Randolph County."
"The commission appreciates the great job Judge Wilfong and her staff does of putting on the program," Taylor said. "It is admirable that so many attorneys donate their time to this worthwhile project."
In fact, the opportunity to talk candidly with attorneys has been many participants' favorite part of the People's Law School in the past.
"One of the main things is the interaction with the lawyers," Wilfong said, noting the distinction between general legal information - which participating attorneys will be sharing with their audiences - and specific legal advice, which they will not give.
"I think they (participants) also like that the courtroom is open to them and resources are being made available to them," Wilfong added. "It's a way their courthouse can be used for their benefit."
Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Parker said the People's Law School allows participants to glean information about the particular areas of law in which they're interested.
"The People's Law School is a very good program for the community because it allows Randolph County citizens the opportunity to learn about their judicial system and gain knowledge about specific areas of law that are of interest to them," Parker said. "Having previously served as a presenter, I always enjoy the opportunity to present information to the attendees and respond to questions about the criminal justice system."
Dinner will provided during a break mid-way through each session. Seating is limited, so interested residents are encouraged to pre-register for any or all of the sessions by calling Owen Harnett at Wilfong's office at 304-636-3815.
"We are hopeful the public will again take advantage of these classes," the judge said. "There are so many lawyers lined up to give their time and knowledge, free of charge, to assist in educating others in the law."

MORGANTOWN - The West Virginia men's basketball team (8-9, 1-3 Big 12) is headed for the school's worst record since 2001-02.
It was so pitiful in last Saturday's 79-52 blowout at Purdue (10-8, 3-2 Big 10) that coach Bob Huggins called it "totally unacceptable" in his postgame radio interview.
What's more, he apologized to WVU fans and to the people of the state of West Virginia.
Article Photos
With few exceptions, the Mountaineers have lacked consistency, and the season is more than half gone. And all of the remaining 14 games are in the Big 12 Conference.
Huggins has tried a variety of changes and twists to put this team on a winning track. But little seems to work.
He doesn't think his players perform hard enough competitively. He hints strongly that they don't grasp what they're told to do at times.
It is not what you can call a good shooting team. Defense is good, but at times there are lapses.
Huggins certainly is a great coach. He ranks No. 3 among the nation's active winningest mentors.
Meantime, there are some observers who question West Virginia's recent recruiting classes. They think that's a problem.
I don't know. I'm most certainly not a coach. But one critic said, "I've been blaming the recruiting all along."
Poor shooting has been a problem. WVU shot only 29 percent from the field (17 of 58) against Purdue, which made 49.2 percent of its field-goal attempts (29 of 59).
The Boilermakers had four scorers in double figures (17, 16, 11, 10). West Virginia's only one was Eron Harris, with just 10 points.
The Mountaineers did connect on 15 of 20 free throws, but they were outrebounded 44-34 and committed 17 turnovers.
"I never saw this coming," Huggins said. "I honestly didn't."
Last year's record was 19-14 and 9-9 in the Big East.
"We will be better this year, a lot better," the veteran coach told me last fall.
The Mountaineers return home to play Texas Christian (9-9, 0-5 Big 12) tonight and visit Oklahoma State (12-4, 2-2) Saturday.
Following the loss at Purdue, Huggins said, "I've never had a guy in my (31-year) career that wouldn't compete. Our shooting was terrible. It shouldn't stop us from rebounding.
"And we threw the ball away. We turned the ball over to them. All I'm asking them to do is block out on rebounds. And we make stupid fouls."
He told the squad that he was going out to the broadcast crew to apologize to WVU fans and West Virginia residents "that this is totally unacceptable.
"This is not what we are supposed to represent."
Huggins expressed hope that those who support his program have enough faith in him that he'll fix the problems eventually.
"I don't know that I can this year, but we will fix it," Huggins said. "That was as worthless an effort as anyone could possibly give.
"I saw things that were unexplainable.

The owners of Buffalo's tallest building said Wednesday they are convinced the tower can still have a strong future, following confirmation Wednesday that HSBC Bank USA will leave the building next year.
The building's owners are proceeding with previously announced plans to bring in the Urban Land Institute as an adviser to help evaluate options for the 38-story tower, which will have lost its three main tenants by the end of next year. That will leave it 90 percent vacant.
HSBC's announcement was not unexpected. The bank said no jobs will be lost due to the move.
"It's given some clarity to the situation, so that's a good thing," said Stephen P. Fitzmaurice, chief operating officer for Seneca One Realty LLC, the New York City-based investment group that owns One HSBC Center.
"We remain convinced that in the long-run, this building is going to be an integral part of the continuing success of the waterfront and downtown," he said.
HSBC is the largest tenant, occupying 22 floors, or 75 percent, of the building. Law firm Phillips Lytle LLP, the No. 2 tenant with 85,000 square feet, has announced plans to move down the street to the former Donovan State Office Building, which is being rebuilt into offices and a hotel. The No. 3 tenant was the Canadian consulate, which closed this year.
The remaining tenants are much smaller, and there are few large local entities that lease space. The options that have been raised include converting large portions of the structure to other uses, such as a hotel, apartments or condominiums.
"We're looking at this as a new beginning," Fitzmaurice said. "We're hoping to have some very exciting plans for the building going forward. Hopefully, the tenants that we have will embrace it. We're looking forward to the future."
According to an email to a government official that was provided to The Buffalo News, HSBC said that the announcement is just "a real estate decision and does not affect our overall employment in the region." HSBC will "remain a notable private-sector employer in the area" and will "continue to support community initiatives commensurate with the size and scope of our business there," the email said.
"The fact that we've just announced that we are staying here and we will be renovating both the Atrium, as well as our facility in Depew, I think, should be interpreted as a very positive message that HSBC is here and is here to stay," said Kevin Quinn, the bank's senior executive in Buffalo.
That commitment was a relief to area leaders.
"I want to thank HSBC for its recommitment to our city by keeping its existing operation in the downtown business district and Depew, with no anticipated job loss as a result of its move from One HSBC Center," said Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown.
U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-NY, who has been lobbying the bank over the past year to "secure these positions," called the announcement a "piece of critical and welcomed news."
"HSBC and business and community leaders should work together to ensure that the tower is put to good use," he added.
Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz said the addition of so much vacant space to the market is "concerning," but "it is good to note that HSBC remains committed to working here in Erie County."
HSBC's announcement brings closure to significant uncertainty over the HSBC tower and the downtown real estate market since 2010, when HSBC first requested proposals from developers for other locations that would better fit its needs.
The bank had been leaning toward building a complex a block away, on the so-called Webster Block, but that idea was derailed after a new CEO, Stuart Gulliver, launched a review of all HSBC business. A major reorganization and strategy shift followed, with the bank closing or selling unprofitable or undesirable businesses and getting out of some countries in a bid to save $3.5 billion.
HSBC sold its upstate New York branches to First Niagara Financial Group, sold its U.S. credit card business to Capital One Financial Corp., and agreed to transfer its mortgage business to PHH Mortgage, a subsidiary of PHH Corp. of New Jersey.
And local observers have fretted over its decision about the tower, whose empty space will now double the total vacant space downtown all at once.
"It's something we all knew was coming," said Shana Stegner, director of office sales and leasing for real estate brokerage CBRE in Buffalo. "At least now people can prepare and move forward with what's actually going to happen there."
The nearby Atrium, which HSBC owns, has had 1,100 employees in the past, but Brown said he was told it now has only 400 to 600. The facility is undergoing a renovation and will be able to accommodate as many as 2,100 workers.
HSBC leases the Depew site, located at the intersection of Walden Avenue and Dick Road, from Benderson Development Co., and Quinn said the bank will exercise its option to renew its lease next year for at least five more years. "Every lease has options to extend," he said.

As riders and online shoppers, we know it can be tough to buy a new bridle or pair of boots without trying them on. That's why we moved the fitting room to your living room (or barn)! From breeches to blankets, if you or your horse can try it on, you can return it, free! Just use the pre-paid return label included in your order within 60 days from the purchase date. And of course, please make sure the item is in like-new condition with original packaging (we said 'fitting room', not 'war room'!).

Getting a good deal and supporting heroes at the same time equals success.
In March of this year, there was a fire at Sisolack's Garage on the Talbott Road, where crews spent many days battling the blaze. Because of this event, their equipment sustained much wear and tear and damage from which the department still hasn't recovered. Fundraisers, such as this auction, help with the loss.
Around 80 people were able to take home treasures from the auction. Stoves, dishwashers, small appliances, housewares, furniture, exercise equipment and even a piano were among the items purchased.

Approximately 80 local residents turned out for an Aug. 10 auction at the Belington Volunteer Fire Department. The event was designed to help the agency raise funds to repair or replace equipment damaged during a fire in March at Sisolack's Garage on Talbott Road.
Hotdogs, drinks, chips and brownies were sold in the kitchen throughout the day.
Firefighters were also selling tickets to their annual Fall Bash, which will be Sept. 14.
Along with every day expenses that the department faces, the equipment is getting old. One of the pumpers that is still in use, is 27 years old. This is old enough to be considered an antique, yet it is still being used almost every time they respond to a fire.
Working with outdated equipment not only can hinder their ability to fight fire effectively, but it also is a possiblity that the lives of firefighters are put in more danger.
Another way residents can support BVFD is by stopping by the ice cream stand, located in the Food Court at the Barbour County Fair.
The price of protection can be quite high, and the department is seeking any help residents are willing to offer.
