Church breaks ground on multimillion-dollar expansion
March 11, 2013
SHEPHERDSTOWN — Anointed with a white construction hard hat and surrounded by members of her congregation, 94-year-old Genevieve Monroe, the oldest living member of Shepherdstown's Asbury United......
Fender---> major is right, hence the wording of the first amendment"CONGRESS shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;"
Remember the bill of rights did NOT grant the federal government more powers but reassured people that the federal government would not infringe on their rights. But state sanctioned religion is perfectly legal, if fact the state of Massachusetts had a state sanctioned religion until 1850.

DontTread, I am tired of those people that are religious claiming the US is a Christian nation. The Treaty of Tripoli states otherwise. The founding fathers wanted to give the citizens the right to worship whomever they wanted without the orthodoxy driven into them from England. A good many of the founding fathers were deists, they believed in god, but not so much the fables of the bible. I may seem to lean liberal, but I am pro fiscal responsibility while leaving people and what they do in their own home, whom they marry, and what personal decisions they make just that, personal.

"My way or no way right?"
Where did you come up with this nonsense? Again is someone forcing you to do anything?

Fender---> I don't go to church either, but I would never disrespect those that choose to, nor would I tell anyone how to live their lives. Based on your posts i think you are a lot more liberal then you admit to be. Now on the other side there are the neo-cons who are as bad as the liberals in the fact that they also butt into others lives telling them how they need to live their lives.

I didn't answer the question because I dislike bleeding heart liberals as much as I dislike beat you with my iron age bible conservatives. Pigeonhole much? That's right, there is no middle ground with some people. My way or no way right?

I never got a response from Fender to this question: "Should I be able to drink unpasteurized milk?"
So any other liberal want to jump in and give me a response?

"I would join a church it if wasn't the whole "I think it's a fairytale" part."
Fender, Is someone holding a gun to your head forcing you to join or are you just playing the part of Sheriff Bart as in "Blazing Saddles"?

Fenderbass do you know how much this church or any church gives back to the community? I know there are a few churches in the Martinsburg area that give to CCAP/Loaves & Fishes which provides meals to the poor. What are you doing to fight the poor and the injustice you see in the World? If the church is doing NOTHING to fight sin and injustice in the World ok get on them but if you don't know don't assume. With the obesity epidemic in WV having a gym isn't a bad idea. With child care cost going up having a church provide day care doesn't sound like a bad idea either. Maybe you should join a church and volunteer your time, effort and funds to help them.

Fenderbass---> Maybe a better questions is why do most people cheat on their taxes anyway (or at least set themselves up to pay the least amount of tax possible)? We complain about the rich using "loopholes" but no mention when the middle and lower class use "loopholes". How about we scrap the tax system and start over, rather than trying to put a "band-aid on a fractured skull"?

It's their money. They can spend it as they wish. As for taxes, sorry but you can't have it both ways, wanting religion out of government but wanting government in religion.

If a church can afford a multi-million dollar addition, they should be able to pay taxes. Wanna get rid of the national debt? Tax the church. 71 billion dollars. Unless a church can prove they are indeed giving out a certain percentage to charity and keep a tax exempt status, they should be taxed. Many churches are big business.

Never knew so many people were concerned about other peoples business, but I guess when they want to spend Other Peoples Money (OPM) then they need to immerse themselves in how other people are spending their own money

Many people I know that go to church need it. Filling their minds with garbage like watching horrid zombie shows with dismemberment and disemboweling. They need the Jesus. Watching shows like Honey Boo Boo and enjoying it. "Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich."-Napoleon Bonaparte. Most of the time they don't learn from it or see that the glorification of death and gluttony is against what they think they preach. Like I said before. America has it wrong, heck almost all organized religion has it wrong.

Monument to Man's works here on earth. I think they've missed the point of what a church is. It's the people. How much good could be done in the community with these millions?

Fender, neither you or I know what if anything this church does for the poor. I think having a daycare at the church is a good idea. It's really not a lot different than the Catholic church's that build schools. I agree that churches AND the community need to work to fight poverty as well as other social issues. We also need to take a look at what we are doing to fight the issue.

I am sure if Jesus came back he would shake the hand of those building multi-million dollar expansions and give them a gold key to heaven. Right? No, one would think it would be called excess and be frowned upon when so many of "God's Children" don't get to eat and don't have a warm place to call home. Here is a staggering fact, 25,000 people roughly die every day from starvation. A good 80% of that are kids. But hey, they now have a rec center for people to have plays and play basketball for Jesus. Seems legit.

The author is the dairy development manager for Vita Plus of Madison, Wis. He is a member of the board of directors with Citizens State Bank of Loyal, Wis.
Here we are in yet another year with continual changes and uncertainty. Have you figured that this is a never-ending occurrence on the business side of agriculture? One of the biggest common unknowns is the weather. Regardless if you raise all of your forage and grain or you buy it, everyone is affected one way or another by weather. We still cannot cover the fields and dairy with a protective tent or greenhouse. Just like the weather is always with you, the farm financials will always be with you.
Even with unpredictable weather and markets, there are dairy producers who not only survive but continue to make constant progress. Maybe not so much in some years but overall they just seem to keep getting ahead. They deal with the same ups and downs as everyone else.
The sun does not shine any different on their side of the fence and rain does not discriminate in a neighborhood. So, what are they watching and doing that is so different? They, for the most part, seem to be in the right place at the right time and make overall good decisions.
Numbers drive decisions
These farmers focus first on their financials. Financials measure how well they have done in the past, how they are doing today and how decisions might evolve in the future.
1. Dairy producers who succeed keep their balance sheet on the backside of their mind. They are thinking first and then making decisions. The thought process goes like this. "This decision that I am making today, what are the short- and long-term effects on my balance sheet? I want to make sure my balance sheet grows because of this move!"
2. They watch their expenses. I did not say they are cheap, but the age-old question is asked internally and many times discussed with others. "Is this an expense or an investment?" Every dollar spent must be necessary.
3. They know their cost of production (COP). This may seem like an elementary question that is always brought up but it still gets met with too many blank stares when asked.
The price of milk may be higher than it was in 2009 or even in the last 20 years, but everyone is aware of how rising expenses have eroded bottom lines. Dairy producers handle a great deal of money, but margins continue to be tight and will probably stay that way
4. Enterprise accounting is becoming much more common. Even on dairies where all of the crops are fed to the milking herd, forage and grain production costs are separately monitored for each enterprise.
Here is a good question. "If I did not feed these crops to my cows, what else could I do with them or what else could I raise?" Better yet, where is the money made in the crops or cows? Of course, we always have to remember when you milk cows you have made a long-term decision.
Cropping costs, as with other farm-related costs, have skyrocketed. It is now more important than ever to know the real cost of producing feed. Forage varieties of all types need to be selected for protein, energy and fiber content for the ration when the TMR is delivered to the herd.
Enterprise evaluation has been given a lot of press in the last year with the realization of what it really costs to feed young stock. No longer is that enterprise a forgotten area where you just give the young stock what the cow cannot eat. There are some real costs here and you need to know it.
5. Successful dairy producers know that generating gross income is important. In other words, you have to pump out milk. The average U.S. milk cow today produces 21,000 pounds of milk. USDA predicts that the average cow will be producing 25,000 pounds of milk by 2022.
Producing milk is more than milking cows. It is genetics, genomics, breeding on time, sorting out tools that work and avoiding the milk-robbing metabolic problems that often occur, plus or minus 30 days of calving.
6. Dairy producers that understand the importance of their financials keep a 2:1 current ratio on their balance sheets. That means they have $2 of current assets, cash, feed and other assets that will be turned into cash in the next 12 months.
Compare current assets to current liabilities which are payables and principal due in the next 12 months. This is called liquidity. They also keep operating lines of credit available through their lender, so when a real opportunity comes up, they will have the advantage of reacting fast to seal the deal.
7. Successful dairy producers monitor and use debt to their advantage. When $1 is borrowed they are generating 70 cents of gross income every year after making that investment. Some are reaching $1.25 of gross income each year. If interest rates are at 5 percent, they are getting a return on their equity of 14 percent or a return on their total assets of 8 percent. They are generating a sizable amount of net income.
These dairy producers rely on trusted consultants in financing, accounting and, in most cases, lending. However, every successful dairy producer must know they "Have to know the numbers" at the end of the day. These producers know the financials are not going away, and the better managers who know their farm's numbers are often in a stronger financial position. If you're in this business, the financials will always be with you.

In 1900 Frank Benson's company performed Henry V at the Lyceum Theatre in London, with Benson as Henry and his wife Constance as Katherine, Matheson Lang as Montjoy, Henry Ainley as the Duke of Gloster, Oscar Asche as Pistol, and Lily Brayton as Alice.
Benson seems type-cast in this role as a heroic general, a persona very much in vogue during the height of the British Empire. Benson's productions were not noted for their psychological insights but for athleticism. Notoriously Max Beerbohm wrote of one of his productions: "The fielding of the Benson [team in "Henry V"] was excellent, so was the batting. . . . as a branch of university cricket, the whole performance was, indeed, beyond praise." Saturday Review 2/24/1900.

LISBON - An emergency shipment of home heating fuel arrived in Columbiana County earlier this week, made available by operators of one of the area's new natural gas processing plants.
County commissioners on Wednesday approved sending a letter thanking Eric Mize of M3 Midstream for coordinating efforts to provide more than 8,000 gallons of propane from the natural gas liquid fractionation, storage and rail complex in Harrison County.
Mize stepped forward after learning Monday that the Saline Oil Co. had run out of propane and the next shipment was not due to arrive until today. The company serves 400 residential customers in the Salineville-Summitville section of the county, about 15 of whom had less than a 5 percent supply, which is considered critical stage.
County Emergency Management Agency Director Luke Newbold said he was speaking Monday about the propane shortage with his counterpart in Carroll County, portions of which are also served by Saline Oil. The Carroll County EMA director contacted Mize, who is the emergency preparedness/public awareness manager for M3, also known as Momentum.
M3 is one of the partners that formed Utica East Ohio Midstream, a joint venture that consists of the facility in Scio in Harrison County and the gas collection and processing plant located near Kensington.
Newbold said the emergency shipment of gas arrived Monday night, and Mize is making up to six truckloads of propane available daily from the Scio plant for local distributors until the crisis passes.
"This should take care of it, but everyone is still worried," he said, "but they're definitely out of critical stage."
The extremely cold weather has increased demand for propane and other home heating fuel and suppliers are having difficulty keeping up, creating a shortage. "This isn't just in Ohio. It's a nationwide problem," Newbold said.
Commissioners were certainly appreciative of Mize's efforts. "You were notified of the situation and quickly coordinated a delivery of propane from the Scio plant with no questions asked within just a few hours to remedy an emergency situation," they wrote in their thank-you letter.

A letter in the June 17 Tomahawk Leader:
To The Editor:
Food or fuel? Drive or eat?
That question sure hits me in the gut. You mean I have to decide whether I want to drive or eat? Who came up with that silly and unfounded idea. Have you ever witnessed an American citizen starve to death or our economy come to a grinding halt due to lack of fuel? I do have that strange thought in the back of my mind, could we live in the dark, starve and freeze to death?
We have the most advanced and prolific agricultural industry in the world. Just because we in America take three squares a day with a high calorie diet and the resulting obesity, heart disease and diabetes for granted, why should be blame the American farmer and the production of alcohol from corn?
I am just old enough to remember when 65 bushels of corn per acre was an outstanding crop in Illinois. Bragging rights for soy beans were 30-plus bushels per acre. The American Farm Bureau is projecting 300 bushels of corn per acre by the year 2020. Soy bean yields in the southern U.S. have shown dramatic increases. Sure seems to me that American agriculture is on the leading edge of feeding the world.
The world population is going up and will double in the next 50 years. We can help, but can we really expect to feed the world forever? It sure is sad to know that food production in most Second and Third World countries is not keeping up with their population growth. Thank goodness we have a caring and giving community so that people don't go hungry through our emergency and regular food pantries and outstanding community support.
Let's have some faith and confidence in the American farmer to feed us. Let's also put away the "pity pot" and stand up for our gluttonous use of the world's energy supplies. We are 5 percent of the world's population and consume 25 percent of the world's energy. It is time to grow up and become part of the solution.
In Wisconsin! Where is our wind energy? Where is our bio fuels and wood alcohol production/ Where are our lower speed limits? Where is our statewide energy conservation program? Where is the tax relief in towns, cities and countries to enable new segments of energy technology to call Tomahawk home? Where are our state politicians? Do they even care?
As the old folks say, "Time are a changing." Are we going to be part of the solution or part of the problem? It will be very tough to pay for high priced fuel, but would you rather it come from the good old U.S.A. or some foreign country where they detest our innards? What a thrill if we have the strength, courage and foresight to solve our own problems and quit bickering.
Garfield the Cat says, "The truth will set you free, but first you will hurt" and hurt and hurt.
See you at the pump, supermarket and pain clinic.

When I originally wrote The Best Websites For Students Exploring Jobs and Careers, there were quite a few free resume-writing sites out there that had a lot of scaffolding to help people write resumes, but only one gave you the option to print it out so it looked nice on paper.
Apparently, over the past year most of these sites figured out that in order to get a job, most people were going to need a hard copy of their resume and not just a virtual one online. So, happily, there's more of a choice out there, and all of them seem pretty equally accessible to English Language Learners.
In fact, there are enough of them to warrant their own "The Best…" list. Thanks to a recent Mashable post, I was able to learn about more of them.
Here are my picks for The Best Places For Students To Write Their Resumes (not in any order of preference):
Actually, my favorite is now Read Write Think's Resume Generator
How To Write A Resume also lets students create their resumes. It's free, very "scaffolded," and provides multiple ways to download and print a hard copy.
Resumega is a new and very scaffolded site where students can create their own resumes. Lots of samples are included, and it's easy to print out the final product.
Job Spice is a new site to create resumes for posting online or for printing out. It's very accessible to English Language Learners. Demo Girl has also created a screencast on how to use it. My only concern is that it appears you have to download your resume prior to printing it out, which might be a problem for some school computers that are configured to not allow downloads. I might just be missing something, though.
Resume Companion looks like a very easy, and scaffolded, tool to create a resume.
What NOT to do: 7 ways to ruin your resume is an excellent list of Yahoo. The 7 ways in bullet points are accessible to ELL's, though the short explanations might be challenging. It's a little out of place with the other links on this list, but I'm including it because it's just so useful.
cvmaker is another good site where students can create resumes.
Resunate is an easy online tool to create a resume.
Resumonk lets you easily create resumes. It's one of the easiest tools out there that I've seen — students can quickly make a PDF.
This is a useful resume infographic:
Resume Builder Online is a very simple tool to…create a resume. CVS Intellect HipCV is a new resume-builder site that, importantly, lets you download your resume as a PDF. It provides a pretty straightforward guide to adding information to a resume, which is important for students. Though I'm not sure the world needs yet one more online resume-builder, Resume-Now is a new decent site that provides a lot of step-by-step guidance and lets you download the finished product. Job Scout has a number of interactive computer tutorials designed for people very new to tech, plus it also offers a guided tool for creating resumes. And they're all free. TechCrunch says they have also just announced a Spanish version, but I haven't been able to locate it online yet. Resume Genius
I'd still encourage readers to check-out The Best Websites For Students Exploring Jobs and Careers because it has several other excellent resources related to job-hunting and exploring careers.
As always, feedback is welcome.
If you found this post useful, you might want to look at previous "The Best…" lists and also consider subscribing to this blog for free.

Purse strings in Washington are tighter than they have been in years meaning funds for some defense projects are harder to get.
The Senate has voted for an amendment to the annual defense authorization bill that could eventually block the proposed second engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter: the F136 from General Electric/Rolls-Royce. Aviation Week reports that Congress has earmarked unrequested funds for the F136, but the Senate adopted the amendment on July 23 that would require proof that the F136 engine would cut costs for the program overall. The program currently relies on the F135 engine from Pratt & Whitney.
The amendment was written by Sen. Joseph Lieberman from Connecticut who said, "The Department of Defense has long said that it neither wants nor intends to use an engine other than the one currently produced by Pratt & Whitney."
AviationWeek reports that Lieberman's claims are not entirely accurate. The Pentagon and Air force Leadership have been rejecting calls for the F136 alternative engine, but program leaders for the JSF have stressed that an alternative engine isn't a bad idea. The bill will have to be amended in the House version if the F136 engine is to continue to be an option. Money for the F136 has been earmarked already in the House's defense appropriations bill.
GE spokesman Rick Kennedy said, "The funding battle over the GE Rolls-Royce F136 fighter engine for the JSF is far from over. The argument for an engine competition for the JSF, the largest fighter program in US history, is simply too compelling."
President Obama has threatened to veto a bill that comes to him promoting a second engine with a chance of disrupting the program. The Senate has already voted against more funds for the F-22 Raptor program.
quote: ut point A is not how all developement projects are funded. There's not going to be a huge market for F35 engines. So why would a company pay billions of dollars for R&D if they can't make it up in sales. Simple, the government pays for that R&D. The government paying multiple sources for multiple R&D's is just not going to happen in this economy.
quote: On the flip side, when a government pays for the design, they also own it and are free to move the design to another manufacturer if necessary.

RANSON - Driving into the Potomac Town Center, "Welcome to Ranson" signs can be found at the entrance of either side of the shopping center. What used to be the county's farmland was annexed into the city and developed into a bustling shopping center.
Ranson's economic development director, David Mills, said the city conducted 32 systematic annexations several years ago, and the way the annexations were performed left Ranson with its oddly shaped boundaries.
During this time the city annexed as much land as it could, and the city council developed a policy and urban growth boundary. It also respected the rights of the landowners who did not want to be brought into the city.

Ranson looks to bridge the past with the future in its sustainable land development.
Mills explained that, according to state law, if three or four pieces of property want to be annexed into the city, the law allows a majority rule vote to take place, and the fourth property can be brought into the city against the owner's will.
Ranson, however, did not annex the properties who did not want to be part of the city - thus leaving the odd shape.
"West Virginia was not a big annexation state for a long time. The pipe stems (are) because of this method that people had to use. Because of the way the law was written, you had to have a physical tie to the annexed land by either a stream or road," Mills said.
During the years between 2004 and 2006, concern arose that Ranson would continue to sprawl out across the county. Mills said once the growth boundaries were drawn and in place, that's where they stayed and the city reached its final, and current, size and shape.
"I think we did a good job. We filled up 65-75 percent of the boundaries," Mills said.
"I walked so many farm fields with farmers during those times," Mills said, adding that the farmland was annexed into the city before the developers purchased it, so the homeowners knew before buying that the property was in the city.
"We did all of that ahead of time," he said.
Looking to the future, Ranson officials have some big dreams in mind. Ranson was the only community in the country to receive all three of President Obama's sustainability grants, one of which was used for the development of the city's comprehensive plan. It has also gotten brownfield redevelopment grants and has been mentioned as "a shiny example of what a small town can do" on the White House website.
The city is also in the process of working on connecting Fairfax Boulevard to the light at Home Depot. Currently, it dead-ends, Mills said, but the city has applied for and received funding to build a complete street, which means innovative storm water technology, biking, walking and on-street parking.
"We want to be the country's most sustainable city," Mills said. "We are pioneering new development plans, and one of those is a way to have a working farm stay a working farm."
An idea that has been successful in Canada, a working farm is a small community on the farmland where people own and operate the farm, and the farm operates as a small Wal-Mart, Mills said.
"It will take us a while, because it takes density. It takes a higher socioeconomic to support something like that, but we have very good partners in the landowners," Mills said.
Although the plans for Ranson look decades into the future, Mills said that if generations to come follow the instructions in the comprehensive plan, the city's dreams will become a reality.
"We are trying to link old and new," Mills said.

Teachers File Brief Defending Gov. Walker's 'Act 10' Reforms in Union's State Appeals Court Lawsuit
Teachers ask state court to uphold legislation protecting most state employees from forced unionism
Madison, WI (February 6, 2013) – Three Wisconsin public school teachers filed a brief in the Wisconsin Court of Appeals last week supporting Governor Walker's public sector union reform bill, known as "Act 10."
Elmbrook School District educator Elijah Grajkowski, Kenosha teacher Kristi Lacroix, and Waukesha high school teacher Nathan Berish filed the amici curiae brief with free legal assistance from the National Right to Work Foundation and the Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty.
The case is a legal challenge brought in Dane County Circuit Court by union officials from Public Employees Local 61 and Madison Teachers, Inc., a local affiliate of the National Education Association (NEA).

Warsaw's Old Town
The Old Town, along with the adjacent New Town, is one of the most beautiful and most often visited sites in Warsaw. The buildings were originally buift in the 17th and 18th centuries. Burned down during World War II, the Old Town was meticulously reconstructed after the war. Its numerous colorful tenements with red sloping roofs and cha¬racteristic street lamps combine to create a picturesque panorama, with strong accents provided by the huge roof of the local cathedral and the Jesuit church tower.
Royal Castle
Built in the 14th century in Gothic style by the Mazovian princes, the castle was converted many times during the Renaissance and Baroque
periods. In the 18th century, it acquired its final Baroque-Classicist style, in which it was rebuilt from World War II destruction. The castle was the seat of the authorities of the First Republic of Poland from 1596 to 1795. It was the royal residence and also the seat of the lower and upper houses of parliament-Sejm and Senate. It was here that the Four-Year Sejm passed the Constiturion of May 3rd, 1791, and on Jan. 25, 1831 dethroned Russian Czar Nidlolas I as king of Poland. In 1926-1939 the castle was the headquarters of the president of the Second Republic of Poland, Ignacy Moscicki. Burned down during World War II, it was rebuilt in 1974.

We had wonderful days in this beautiful apartment in Podwale Street in the heart of Warsaw!
The apartment is cozy, very comfortable and is in a beautiful backyard. We can only recommend it!
The apartment is not in the Ul. Podwale, but at ul. Kapitulna!
The apartment is very nice and clean, but smells a bit musty. The sheets on the beds are very very small and just cover up the sleeping surface. In the type of beds fitted sheets would be advantageous.
The apartment is very sparingly stocked with dishes. There is no "pot" or the like, in which a tea can be brewed. , ,
Die Wohnung ist nicht in der Ul. Podwale, sondern in der Ul. Kapitulna!
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön und sauber, riecht aber etwas muffig. Die Leintücher auf den Betten sind sehr sehr klein und bedecken gerade eben die Schlaffläche. Bei der Art von Betten wären Spannbetttücher vorteilhaft.
Die Wohnung ist sehr sparsam mit Geschirr bestückt. Es gibt keine "Kanne" oder dergleichen, in der ein Tee aufgebrüht werden kann . . .
todo bien, apartamento muy centrico y muy limpio. Coinciden las fotos con el apartamento, el unico problema es la falta de ascensor pero no fue un gran problema. El personal nos ayudo en todo lo que pudo.
Leiligheta bar preg av att den var slitt og det var ikke gjort godt nok rent.
Det kunne godt vært en kaffetrakter der og en stekepanne. Etter vårt syn på den, så var den veldig lite utstyrt for å bo i over flere dager.
I innsjekkingen var de veldig hjelpsomme.
Very good apartment in secured building. Next to sluzew metro station. you don't need to rent a car. You can buy almost everything in small markets around. we enjoyed very much our vacation in warsaw. But you have to check the arrival time. The company is placed near the old town, far from the apartment and they will give you the key there as written (1600). Also, you have to bring everything needed to operate the washing machine and dishwasher. The dishwasher is leaking. The temperature is warm in september. I guess its hot there during summer. The kitchen is almost empty, you have to bring everything.
Everything was perfect! The appartment is comfortable and clean and it has a great view. The owners are really kind. I recommend it for your stay in Warsaw

The location of the apartment is ok, it is within 30 min walks to the important places and it feels safe. Supermarket is close by. In the evening it is a bit noisy. The kitchen has no ventilation and very hot in the Summer.
The apartment has no ac and in the Summer ac is a must for this apartment.
What we missed beside the ac was a place to put the kitchen towel in the kitchen and a holder for the toiletpaper
the apartment is good and area is good, but we took us a disappointment because the ad was written that has two bedrooms but one is very small and has a small sofa bed, which we 4 adults had to sleep on the sofa in the room, and although we complained and were promised an answer, we did not come and we had to go to his office, but do not solve anything ..
el apartamento esta bien y zona es buena, pero nosotros nos llevamos una desilusion pues en el anuncio ponia que tiene dos dormitorios pero uno de es muy pequeño y tiene un sofacama pequeño, con lo cual nosotros 4 adultos tuvimos que dormir en el sofa de la sala, y aunque nos quejamos y nos prometieron una respuesta , no llego y tuvimos que ir a su oficina , pero no solucionamos nada..

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Groundbreaking news concerning multiple sclerosis (MS) appeared in the mainstream media earlier this year when CNN and others reported that Chander Raman and colleagues had identified two unique forms of MS, underscoring the unforeseen complexity of this disease. Their landmark publication focused on the role of T helper-1 (Th1) versus T helper 17 (Th17) cells in mediating MS progression.
Both of these Th cell types have been implicated in promotion of MS in the past, and the current study examined their individual roles in the response to IFN-β therapy. Using an established murine model of MS, the authors showed that successful responses to exogenous IFN-γ administration depended upon the presence of Th1-induced interferon gamma (IFN-γ). When MS was mediated by Th17-derived interleukin 17 (IL-17), and serum IFN-γ levels were low, IFN-β therapy was not protective.
Notably, this study went on to show that, prior to treatment, a subset of human MS patients exhibited high serum levels of IL-17 and IFN-β, which were shown to correlate with a subsequent poor response to IFN-β therapy. Therefore, serum IFN-β and IL-17 levels may be predictive biomarkers of the unique Th17-mediated form of MS.
In fact, the authors suggest that IFN-β has contrasting effects in different contexts: beneficial under Th1 conditions and detrimental under Th17 conditions. Most importantly, this may explain why some individuals do not respond appropriately to IFN-β therapy.
Nonresponders may produce endogenous IFN-β to counteract Th17-mediated inflammation rendering them less responsive to exogenous IFN-β. Alternatively, IFN-β may, in fact, act as a pro-inflammatory cytokine during Th17-mediated disease, which may explain the fact that IFN-β treatment can actually exacerbate MS in some cases.
If confirmed in additional human studies, these findings could significantly increase mechanistic understanding of MS disease development. Furthermore, this may eventually lead to improved approaches for treating MS patients. In particular, it is plausible that if the serum levels of IFN-β and IL-17 continue to show correlation with MS disease classification and response to IFN-β therapy, a simple blood test could be used to better direct treatment options in the future.
Although it will likely be some time before this data can be used to tailor therapeutic regimens for patients presenting with different MS subtypes, there are more immediate implications for monitoring IFN-β responsiveness in patients with an elevated IL-17/IFN-β versus IFN-γ profile. Specifically, this new phenotypic category of MS may be associated with previously identified genetic markers, or in cases where there is a development of neutralizing antibodies to the IFN-β therapeutic protein.
Bridging studies using retrospective samples collected over time from IFN-β responders and nonresponders would be useful to determine if these latest findings are associated with specific gene polymorphisms and/or the development of neutralizing antibodies against IFN-β. Not only would these studies be of interest to scientists analyzing the mechanisms of MS development and disease progression, they may eventually provide guidance to physicians for clinical protocols as well.
A great deal of research has been conducted in an attempt to determine the role of anti-IFN-β antibody development by MS patients, and the subsequent effects on their responsiveness to IFN-β therapy. The two types of anti-IFN-β antibodies produced are defined in functional terms.
Binding antibodies (BAbs) include any antibodies that can bind to IFN-β. Neutralizing anti-IFN-β antibodies (NAbs) are a subset of BAbs and have the ability to inhibit the biological activity of IFN-β protein, thereby potentially decreasing a patient's responsiveness to IFN-β therapy.
In fact, several studies have shown the presence of NAbs in the serum of some MS patients who have failed to respond to IFN-β therapy. So, in addition to a skewed IL-17/IFN-β serum cytokine ratio, the presence of NAbs, therefore, suggests another mechanism by which patients may fail to respond to IFN-β therapy.
Research into the development and functional consequences of NAbs has produced a wide range of mixed results. PBL InterferonSource has developed an assay that helps analyze NAbs in MS patients. Even within the population of patients who respond positively to IFN-β therapy, NAb production represents a major concern since it may diminish therapeutic efficacy and, thus, warrants close monitoring.

Good to see Nicole Cooke win the women's RR.
Stefan Shumacher did test positive for CERA (Continuous Erythropoiesis Receptor Activator) after his samples were taken from the Tour. So there goes his two stage wins and surprise surprise Leonardo Piepoli was positive as well (although that was obvious). Although I'm not sure who gets that stage win though, Juan Jose Cobo who was second? Maybe although they would be loath to give it to him. Frank Schlek? Well apparently he is a customer of a certain dodgy Spanish doctor that worked with Jan Ullrich, Ivan Basso and others. Bernhard Kohl who was fourth? I guess so, but Shumacher was doped up, so can you take his team mate Kohl for any creditibilty? Vladimir Efimkin (AG2R) who was 5th, so does he get the stage win? Bear in mind Riccardo Ricco was 6th, so he does not count and Carlos Sastre was 7th.
I have no idea now. To quote Phil Gould, the answer is a pineapple!
Lance Armstrong all cleared to cycle in the Australian race in January.

Mark Sanford may have stepped over the line one too many times for voters in the 1st Congressional District.
He certainly passed that point a long time ago with his ex-wife.
When the National Republican Congressional Committee said thanks, but no thanks, to supporting Sanford in the race against Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, even the most strident members of the party must be starting to get nervous.
In a he-said, she-said development we learned that Jenny Sanford filed a complaint last month accusing Mark Sanford of trespassing at her Sullivan's Island home.
Now, some might say trespassing is too strong a word, since according to his statement, he was there to watch the Super Bowl with their 14-year-old son, "because as a father I didn't think he should watch it alone." Nice touch.
Football, family, father-son time. Nothing wrong there.
Unless Jenny didn't know. And by all accounts, she didn't.
Maybe for some this would be something to handle privately, but of course, this is where it gets complicated. According to court papers, Mark Sanford has a history — going back at least two years — of showing up at his ex-wife's house without her permission.
She has gone so far as to alert the Sullivan's Island police department that he's not wanted there.
If only the voters would do the same.
Golden opportunity
Even after Mark Sanford's campaign released a statement about the incident Wednesday, a lot of questions remained unanswered, particularly why the Colbert Busch campaign didn't jump all over it.
It could be that Colbert Busch doesn't want to open herself up to questions about her own divorce, though she has used her status as a former single mom as a way to connect with voters.
Colbert Busch also has staked a portion of her campaign tent on equal pay, even mentioning pay disparities in the governor's office during Mark Sanford's tenure, but has yet to push back about his treatment of women.
Now, when presented with such a golden opportunity, there's silence. This can either be seen as taking the high road or missing the boat.
Maybe this was the strategy all along, wait for his campaign to implode. Except this is South Carolina politics.
Short-term memory
An "R" after a candidate's name still means a lot here, even if the last name is Sanford.
There have been murmurs all along that it's Republican women who will decide this race. This week's events certainly will add new fuel to that fire. And with good reason.
Project XX , whose stated mission is to help get smart women elected to public office and appointed to state boards and commissions, recently released a video about the campaign. The gist of it was women may have forgiven Mark Sanford for his transgressions — lying to the public, misuse of taxpayer funds, making South Carolina a national punch line. But they won't forget.
We'll find out May 7 if the voters feel the same way.
Reach Melanie Balog at 937-5565 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

on February 6, 2013 - 12:06 AM
When ranking the top athletic families in Western New York, the Gronkowskis would have to top the list. Five boys, all of them Division I scholarship athletes, three of them landing in the NFL. Pretty hard to beat that.
Next in line? It just might be the Regans of Williamsville, a clan that made its mark on the basketball court with one exception. And a notable one at that.
"Best athlete in my family?" responds Will Regan. "Me, of course."
A sly smile comes to his lips. Regan, a sophomore forward at the University at Buffalo, was a two-time Buffalo News Player of the Year while at The Nichols School. He was the New York State Class A Player of the Year as a high school senior. He played one season at Virginia before he transferred back home. And at one point this year he led the nation's Division I players in three-point shooting percentage.
While those credentials might make the question seem inane – Who's the best athlete in your family? – in the case of the Regans it's an apt inquiry.
Kelly, 26, the oldest of Barb and Larry's four children, was Buffalo News girls basketball Player of the Year in 2005 and earned second-team all-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference during a 1,000-plus point career at Manhattan College.
Jim, 23, the elder of the two boys, threw down a career-high 31 points for Daemen last month and, like Kelly, has topped the 1,000-point mark for his career.
Will can make the argument that, with almost 2½ seasons of eligibility remaining, he at least belongs in the same company with those two. But then we have Emily, 24, who was determined to give up sports after high school and enjoy a relatively care-free existence while pursuing her degree at Michigan State.
"My plan when I went to school was to have fun and enjoy the big-time atmosphere and go to football games and just enjoy being at a big school," Emily said.
And that plan held firm all the way up until freshman orientation. Mom bopped around all the informational tables set up by various on-campus organizations looking for some activity to occupy a girl who had lived her young life in perpetual motion. Rowing? Hmmm. The sisters had spent that one summer camp with the West Side Rowing Club.
"Hey, look," Barb said to Emily. "They came in sixth at nationals last year. They're pretty competitive. You should join. It would be a good way to meet people."
"I wasn't having it," Emily said "I just wanted to have fun when I went to college. What I pictured being the typical college experience is what I wanted to have. And when I got to college my roommate was like 5 feet tall and her mom and my mom ganged up on us and were like, 'You guys should do it together.'
"Eventually we kind of caved and tried out together and seven years later, here I am."
Emily's 6-foot-2 and, like in basketball, height in rowing has its advantages. Talk about making a splash. Halfway through her freshman season she was elevated from walk-on to scholarship athlete. As a senior she was named Big Ten rowing Athlete of the Year and a first-team All-America. From there, she won gold in the eight at the 2010 Under-23 World Championships in Belarus. That was followed in 2011 by a gold in the four at the 2011 World Championships in Slovenia. She currently trains in Princeton, N.J., with USA Rowing under the guidance of Buffalo native Tom Terhaar. Her mission is to row and win gold at the 2016 Summer Olympics; she was among the final cuts for the London Games.
"I was in contention for the team last year and unfortunately it didn't really work out but that's my ultimate goal is to make the Olympic team and win the gold medal in Rio," she said.
Sibling rivalries
Four children separated by five years, all with a passion to compete. Maybe it comes from their father, Larry, who played high school basketball at Amherst under the legendary Bob Hettler and continued his playing career at St. Lawrence. Maybe some of it comes from their mother, Barb, who was never an athlete in the official sense but possessed all the attributes.
"I guess I have to give a lot of that to my parents and just the work ethic they instilled upon us, the attitude to persevere in tough times and just keep going," said Kelly, who's employed by Barclays in Manhattan. "I think they really paved the way in just kind of shaping our mentality and helping us get there, my dad with the competitive fire and my mom able to calm us down and be that reassuring one on the side."
Sibling rivalries thrived. Sibling challenges persisted.
"Obviously it was really competitive," Jim said. "Anything we did would turn into a contest. We'll be sitting at the dinner and say we'll be talking about grades and my parents would ask me a question about a grade and my brother would say something like how he got a better grade. Any little thing will turn into a competition. Who eats the most – anything."
Kelly and Emily were at basketball camp in the Adirondacks one year, same game, different teams, when the simmering competitiveness boiled over. They were jostling in transition when Emily hauled off and punched Kelly dead in the gut.
"Emily!" shouted Barb from the sidelines.
"Yeah, that happened," Emily says with a laugh. "That would be part of the reason I didn't pursue basketball like the rest of my family. I was just way too competitive."
Emily could be supportive as well. Like the time around the third grade when she mastered the art of dunking off the hood of the car. Who doesn't conquer a mountain and encourage others to do the same? Next thing you knew Jim leapt off the car, made awkward contact with the rim and landed with a thud. Arm fracture.
"Of course it was one of the nights where my mom went away so my dad was watching us," Jim said. "I think it was during a Bills game or something so he was inside watching the Bills game while I'm outside messing around."
"That was me," Emily said. "It sounds like I'm a malicious sister, but I'm not. I was teaching him how to dunk."
What can you get away with in the name of competitive fire? How hard can you push?
"We'd go to putt-putt as a family," Jim said. "Will would miss a putt where it was maybe an inch short and he'd just drag the putter all the way around the hole until it went in and said, 'Oh, that counts. That counts.' "
Will concedes to Emily
Life has pulled them apart geographically but not in the heart. Although distanced, Emily and Kelly still keep tabs on the younger brothers. Great thing, the Internet. Kelly returned a call via cell phone about five minutes after Will nailed a three with 12 seconds left, provided the decisive points in UB's road win at Ball State.
"That was really exciting," she said. "Unfortunately I don't think I was ever able to hit a clutch game-winner but he definitely seems to have the personality, the composure to be that type of player under pressure."
Will's done well as he rebounds from basically two years away from competitive basketball (one when he played sparingly at Virginia, and one he sat out after his transfer). But best athlete in the family? Will knows he's cornered.
"No my sister Emily might be the best athlete because she's played a lot more sports than all of us and she succeeded in all of them," he said. "I'll give her that even though if I wanted to I could have played a lot of other sports, too. But she did it so I'll give her the crown."

Ciara may still be glowing from her recent engagement to rapper-producer Future, but she's already well into planning mode.
"It's going to be two parts," she told PEOPLE at the People's Choice Awards nominations announcement last week. "We're both from Atlanta and we have so many family and friends … it's going to be hard to get everybody in one place, so we're going to do a celebration part and a wedding."
Though she expects the engagement to be a short one, the Grammy winner, 28, is still making sure every little detail is picture perfect on her big day.
"I think I'll be part bridezilla, I'm not going to lie," she said. "But I want to be a happy one! I still want it to be a fun process, but I want the dress to be perfect, I want the cake to be perfect, I want the food to be perfect."
And staying true to her signature style of curve-hugging dresses, she is "definitely" planning to wear a form-fitting gown – but with a traditional twist.
"I want to go a little vintage, a little throwback classic almost like my mom was walking down the aisle," she said.
So where has the blushing bride-to-be been finding inspiration for the big day?
"I watched NeNe [Leakes]'s wedding and that was the funniest," she said. " I watch any wedding show … and start thinking about how I want to plan things. I'm looking at it with a whole new perspective like, 'How do I want to do this?' And 'Who are going to be my bridesmaids?' "
Turns out Ciara's future husband, 29, is just as detail-oriented, but he is letting her take the reigns when it comes to planning.
"He gets to have his say and then he lets me go off and do my thing," she said. "I know he's going to want the fun part to be right. We're both looking forward to it."

Note: This guest blog post by Angelina Conti remembers another time when a nonviolent peace encampment was used as a tool for protest.

When the Occupy Wall Street movement began in Zuccotti Park in September, I was surprised to find myself thinking about the Bonus Army and a lesson half remembered from a high school history class … something about veterans occupying the capitol, General MacArthur, and a fire.
The Occupy Together movement has spread to many other cities and finally is part of the mainstream national media. And I've done some...

Where do you go? Where can you hide? What or where is "safe?" Twelve people were massacred in July while watching a movie in Aurora, Colo.
Six more were slaughtered last August at a religious service in suburban Milwaukee.
Now, horribly, 27 are dead – 20 of them children – at Sandy Hook Elementary School in the leafy Connecticut suburb of Newtown.
What kind of society have we created? What is the price, in innocent blood and in everyday risk, for our freedoms?
I know that, despite the mass media coverage, these are isolated incidents. I know that each of us is more likely to be struck by lightning than to be killed by a psychotic shooter's bullet.
But when a man walks into an elementary school armed with semiautomatic, military-grade pistols and slaughters innocent children, it shatters any notion of safety and security and sanity.
What is so troubling and so frightening is not just the randomness of the violence. It is the ease with which a psychotic can acquire weapons of such destruction.
Once again in America, a deeply disturbed – no sane person would do this – and heavily armed man has slaughtered innocent people. The difference this time is most of the victims were not adults. They were children. Grade-school children. It does not get more innocent – or more vulnerable – than little kids sitting in a classroom.
Mass shootings happen with such frequency that we become conditioned, desensitized. They run together in our minds, get lost in the mist of memory.
But when the body count is this high, when most of the bodies are this small, it is enough to crack the hardest cynic's shell.
In the wake of the slaughter of innocents, I cannot see how any thinking person can argue against tighter gun controls. I am not talking about taking the rifle out of a responsible hunter's hands. I am not talking about denying any sane person the choice of a gun for home protection.
But seriously, how can anyone at this point – NRA officials included – argue that a private citizen needs to be more heavily armed than a cop or a soldier?
Time and again, deeply disturbed people have gotten their hands on weapons that can kill a lot of people in short amount of time.
It has to stop. The level of firepower is the one thing about these mass slaughters that we can control. And, in so doing, we at least can reduce the body count.
"The thing that all of these shootings have in common is they involve the sort of firearms there is no need for the general public to have," UB professor Charles Ewing said. "There is no reason for the average citizen to have this kind of firepower."
Ewing is familiar with violence. The forensic psychologist and author has interviewed serial killers and studied mass murderers. He is more conditioned to horror than most people. Yet he told me Friday that the news of this massacre of children brought him to tears.
"If this doesn't bring you to your knees, what will?" he wondered. "Something must be done."
According to CBS News, the 20-year-old gunman was armed with a Glock 9mm pistol, a semiautomatic commonly used by police, and a Sig Sauer handgun, favored by the military. Each has an easily reloadable magazine holding at least 10 rounds. A military-style assault rifle was found in his vehicle.
Weapons made for combat were turned on grade-school kids. A young madman got his hands on a stockpile of semiautomatic weapons.
How insane of a society are we?
Yes, you can kill with a rock or a knife or a standard handgun. But each of those weapons limits the amount of mayhem someone can do in a short period of time. The longer it takes to shoot multiple times, and the longer it takes to reload, the more people who can run, or hide, or fight back or call for help. Our latest American madman had the firepower to massacre 26 people in a matter of minutes.
There is no getting around it: Advanced weaponry makes mass slaughter easier. Just count the little bodies at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Across America today, there is a heaviness in the air. We grieve for the victims. We pray for their families. And we hope, at long last, that something will be done.

CAREY - It wouldn't quite be accurate to say the Midland Athletic League girls basketball race turned into a free-for-all Thursday night.
But it's a free-for-at-least-three.
Carey put up an early defensive stand and got a monster game from senior post Hannah Tong in knocking off previously league-unbeaten Calvert 67-53.
The win allowed the Blue Devils to gain a virtual share of the league lead. New Riegel actually has a half-game lead on the pack with a 7-1 record after downing Seneca East 61-45 Thursday. Carey (13-3 overall) and Calvert (11-5) both check in at 6-1 in the MAL and Mohawk is mathematically in the hunt at 5-2.
Fact Box
Carey 67, Calvert 53
Calvert (11-5, 6-1): Taylor Ritzler 1-0-3; Danielle Kontak 0-1-1; Marisa Horn 2-0-5; Samantha Beckley 0-3-3; Kate Brickner 6-5-21; Margaret Bowers 2-2-6; Alana Widman 0-0-0; Megan Funkhouser 0-0-0; Olivia Smith 2-2-6; Nicole Bickley 2-4-8. Totals: 15-17-53.
Carey (13-3, 6-1): Hannah Tong 11-5-27; Sydney Wentling 3-8-16; Makenzie Wentling 1-0-2; Haley Hoepf 1-0-3; Ali Rymer 0-2-2; Logan Johnson 1-0-2; Gwen Wentling 0-2-2; Dana Newell 0-0-0; Hannah Draper 2-8-13. Totals: 19-25-67.
Calvert682118 - 53
Carey18101722 - 67
Field goals: Calvert 15-47; Carey 19-53.
3-point goals: Calvert 6-17 (Brickner 4, Ritzler, Horn); Carey 4-14 (S. Wentling 2, Hoepf, Draper).
Foul shots: Calvert 17-29; Carey 25-35.
Rebounds: Calvert 31 (Brickner 7, Beckley 4, Widman 4, Bickley 4); Carey 50 (Tong 16, Draper 8, S. Wentling 5, M. Wentling 5, Rymer 5).
Turnovers: Calvert 12; Carey 18.
"I guess we've got a full-fledged mess now," Carey coach Phil Vaughn said. "We knew it was a must-win for us. We knew where the league was at - New Riegel's got one loss (too).
"Tonight was it. We just had to worry about tonight and concentrate tonight," he said. "The girls did that."
The primary detail was a tough man-to-man defense to start the game.
Calvert didn't have a field goal until Kate Brickner scored with 2:04 left in the first period. The Senecas didn't get their next basket until a little more than a minute into the second quarter and they managed just 4-of-24 from the field for the half.
"We didn't shoot the ball well the first quarter (2-of-11) or the first half," Calvert coach Tim Ritzler said. "Carey's defense was good. They didn't give us a lot of easy shots and what ones we did have, we didn't make them."
Meanwhile, the 6-foot-1 Tong was having her way inside on what would become a 27-point, 16-rebound night. The Carey senior had 11 points and five boards in the first quarter alone, when the Blue Devils opened an 18-6 lead.
"That came from a couple of things," Vaughn said of the Tong outburst. "She worked hard in the post. She wasn't satisfied just standing in one spot. She moved around and got some position off the moves. And our guards did a great job of feeding her."
"Part of that's probably my fault," Ritzler said. "We probably should have started out in a zone, packed it in and tried to make them beat us from the outside. I didn't do anything to help the girls in that respect. Once we went to the zone, I think we were able to slow her down a little."
Calvert came in as the league's top offensive team but in trailing 28-14 at the half, the Senecas were on a pace to fall 30 points short of their 58-points per game average.
"We started out strong with that early run," Vaughn said. "Even though we scored points early, I was really pleased with our defense.
"Brickner ended up coming on, but at halftime, we felt we had done a good job on her," he said. "She's the second-leading scorer in the league. She can hit the three, she drives and she's strong. (Megan) Funkhouser can shoot and Olivia Smith is one of the best athletes in the league. Defensively, at the half, we felt like we were in good shape."
That outlook changed some in the second half, when Calvert went to a zone defense with full-court pressure.
Brickner hit a couple 3-pointers and had eight points in the Senecas' 21-point third period, and she added 11 more points in the fourth. She finished with a team-high 21 points and seven rebounds.
"They did a great job of taking her away and she'll even tell you she missed some shots she wished she had back," Ritzler said. "But she stayed with it and she's aggressive scorer.
"I loved the way the girls fought back," he said. "The did a great job of executing the press, creating some turnovers and creating some pressure. That's what got us going in the second half."
Calvert trimmed the margin to 45-35 at the quarter break and pulled to within seven when, after Nicole Bickley (eight points, four rebounds) hit two foul shots, Smith turned a mid-court steal into a layup to make it 50-43.
But Carey kept the edge with a 25-for-35 effort from the foul line. Tong, Sydney Wentling (16 points) and Hannah Draper (13 points) were a combined 21-for-26 at the stripe. Calvert converted 17-of-29.
The Blue Devils have a slight edge in scheduling the rest of the way, with league games against Old Fort, North Baltimore and Fremont St. Joseph. North Baltimore has the best league mark of the three at 3-4.
Calvert is at Mohawk next week before hosting New Riegel and Lakota.

Right now no country - or group of countries - controls the Internet. But there are quite a few authoritarian countries that are banding together to try to change that situation.
In Monday's Wall Street Journal, L. Gordon Crovitz wrote about efforts by Russia, China, Iran and others to turn control of the Internet over to the International Telecommunications Union - an obscure United Nations agency that used to establish rules, regulations and fees for phone calls between countries.
The ITU's glory days were back in the days of voice-only phone calls. According to Crovitz, it last drafted a treaty back in 1988. It currently has nothing to do with the Internet.
Crovitz explained that the Internet today is an informal link of 40,000 networks, interconnecting over 425,000 routes. The Internet Society is made up of nongovernmental groups like the Internet Engineering Task Force, Internet Architect Board and the Internet Research Task Force. Those groups provide technical standards, and most agreements are on an informal, almost handshake-like basis.
Crovitz points out that because of its self-regulating nature, no permission is needed to launch a website.
That, of course, is the problem as far as the authoritarians are concerned. Right now, it is far too easy for people opposing oppressive regimes to have their views aired. Crovitz mentions, for example, that Russia and Iran want a rule that allows them to monitor and censor all Internet traffic in their countries.
Crovitz argues that the main job for U.S. representatives at the ITU conference next week is to make the case for maintaining a free and open Internet.
One might not like all aspects of a completely unregulated Internet. But, think of the alternative. Governments have no business exerting control over the Web.

Verizon's HTC DROID DNA gets new rendering and Google+ unboxing date

2. Hemlocke (unregistered)
The build quality, screen, and the speed of the processor should be great, but this will be a terrible phone. Verizon bloatware, plus a smaller battery (2,020mah) should mean this thing will need to be tethered to a power outlet more often than not. World-beating specs aren't enough to offset something that will probably have about 5-6 hours of battery life (The Optimus G has a smaller, less dense screen and a 2100mah battery, and it gets 6-7 hours).
3. No_Nonsense (Posts: 826; Member since: 17 Aug 2012)
Unless it uses IGZO tech, the battery is going to be terrible.
5. KParks23 (Posts: 617; Member since: 13 Oct 2010)
It's got a 2500mha battery dumb dumb do some research
8. Hemlocke (unregistered)
There are conflicting reports. Regardless, even 2500mah (Do you not even know that it is milliampere-hour, not whatever "mha" is?) is not enough, even with IGZO technology.
15. Owlet (Posts: 450; Member since: 21 Feb 2011)
Obviously that was a typo.
20. KParks23 (Posts: 617; Member since: 13 Oct 2010)
There has been only one article that says it's a 2020mah battery and there has been like 20 that says it's a 2500mah battery so not really u just want to be a hater and post the one article to get people hating on it! I don't call 1vs 20 conflicting reports! And 2500 will be plenty it will get better battery than the s3 so stop hating
25. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
what part of 1080p display and S4 Pro w/ Adreno 320 graphics don't you understand? it won't get the battery life of the SIII even with a 2500mAh battery. the J Butterfly has a 2020mAh battery and this is pretty much the exact same thing also with this thing supposedly being priced at $199 on contract i'm more inclined to believe that it's packing the 2020mAh battery.
29. KParks23 (Posts: 617; Member since: 13 Oct 2010)
The quad core processor will help and if it's SLCD3 that will help also I can tell u the battery won't be worse than the s3 if it's 2500.. And wth u talking about if it's priced 199 its prolly packing the 2020 that's the dumbest thing I ever heard! What does that have to do with anything
32. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
yes it has multi-core efficiency however Adreno 320 uses enough power to bury the efficiency you gain from having quad cores and then some. look at the Nexus 4's battery rating. it's not great and the Optimus G is on par with the SIII at best with the same 2100mAh add a 5" 1080p display to the mix and i promise you battery life isn't going to be in oodles. nobody is going to take you seriously if you keep up with this insult first, think later frame of mind. if HTC went top notch on everything then they'd have a top notch competitive price point. HTC isn't like Motorola, they're going to get their money's worth, especially from their flagships. this'll either have a 2500mAh battery and cost more than rumored or it'll have a 2020mAh battery and be at the rumored $199 price point.
33. Owlet (Posts: 450; Member since: 21 Feb 2011)
I have SGSIII and it has decent battery life. I can't wait to sell it and buy HTC Droid DNA for MSRP. I don't care what size battery it has. I'd rather have a really nice phone with poor battery life than a really good battery life on a "meh" phone that I don't really like.
Get over this battery issue. It's a phone as a whole. And every phone has its pluses and minuses. None is perfect.
This one is PERFECT FOR ME.
37. Lboogey6 (Posts: 281; Member since: 31 Jan 2012)
lol with out having played with the phone what makes it perfect i guarantee htc is just going to screw something up again it'll still be left in the dust by the already released note2 sorry but htc is failing for a reason oh and don't forget vzw likes to block a lot of freedom but enjoy your htc phone
41. Owlet (Posts: 450; Member since: 21 Feb 2011)
Well, I owned HTC Incredible, Incredible 2, Thunderbolt and Rezound. I loved them all. I rooted some of them, so don't know what you're talking about in terms of freedom. I just like HTC phones, they are the best IMHO. I had the Note too, really didn't like the feel of it and the damn plastic. This one will be perfect.
BTW, I think HTC is failing because of poor marketing and bending for VZW too much.

i know every phone isn't perfect but i personally feel like that at this point in the game that battery life and reliability should be the most important things for a phone. my Tablet is going to relieve my power and display needs which btw is going to be a Nexus 10 and the Nexus 10 is more powerful than the DNA anyway. after owning many phones and tablets i think this is the best formula, well or me anyway.

Where did you get 6-7 hours of battery for the Optimus G? I haven't heard anything of the sorts, even when connected to LTE.
Engadget said the AT&T model lasted 8 hours and 43 minutes with their usual video test, which is weird because it lasted longer than the Sprint model which didn't have LTE enabled.
Using the AT&T model for a full day as I normally do brought the 2,100 mAh battery down to around 20 percent after 10 or so hours. - The Verge
The Optimus G delivered excellent battery life, even while connected exclusively to the more power-hungry LTE network here in Boston. - Pocketnow
Don't worry about the toll that LTE radio will have on your battery: it's non removable, but at 2,100 mAh, I don't really see the need for a spare or extended battery. I consistently got through a full day with juice to spare with moderate to heavy usage, - Android Central
12. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
Qualcomm's integrated LTE Radio may be more power efficient than the Wi-Fi Radios in these things. that may be something to keep in mind if you have an S4 powered device. i'll put it to the test on my MAXX HD.

Nothing is official yet. It might have a bigger battery and even a sd slot. All we hear are rumors for right now. HTC has made the mistake before with using a smaller battery. I really don't think they will do it again. Especially on this caliber of a phone. The thunderbolt was a beast of a phone and probably the best of the phones being released at that time. I had a couple different phones and the thunderbolt would eat them alive. So let's hope they learned the battery lesson. All we can do is wait and see but we are all use to that by now.

this is a real smexy phone but i don't think it's what i need now. my MAXX HD is pretty much ideal for my phone needs. power and RAM are really the only things lacking in this phone, it's not like it's slow or anything, no, quite the opposite actually, especially on JB but when do you ever stop wanting more power?

I really hope they'll start selling it on the 20th as some rumors indicated. I want one ASAP. Actually, two.

The beast in cameras is the PUREVIEW

Really hope the battery is at least one full day to medium use. If not than i am going for the note 2 or nexus 4. Depends on how the note 2 feels in hand.

with HTC's history of poor battery life, what's to be expected? that 1080p will eat a lot of battery. HTC should have put atleast 3000mah just like the note 2.

Not so long ago Samsung used to be a second-tier brand. Things change. You are not giving HTC a chance.

I will definitely not give them second chance if they continue to give me crappy battery life and non expandable storage. their build quality is top notch. but everything is not about the "look and feel". many people want memory expansion and good battery life. Samsung just happens to give that to consumers so I got the note 2.
marketing and distribution is really another matter.

Not a big issue, but in my opinion there is a lot of branding on this phone.

I just hope the Radio is better than the S3's. I had the Razr Maxx Hd for a second and that was great but couldn't handle the smaller screen and less then good camera after having the S3 for a while. As far as the battery goes, I'd rather plug a cable into an excellent phone occasionally than deal with a sub par ALL DAY. This will be my 1st HTC, so we'll see.

You're so right. Some people are obsessed with battery, forgetting that a battery is only powering a PHONE. Phone is the key word, not the battery.

The HTC radios I have heard is better than Samsung's. I have owned several HTC phones and the only one I regretted buying was the Thunderbolt. All have had less than stellar battery life. With the Rezound, I have even got it to the point where I don't charge it every day. I am not knocking Samsung as I was thisclose to getting the Note 2. But I can deal with a subpar battery too. What I cannot deal with, or will give me pause, is the subpar LED notification. A small thing I know, but it's one thing about HTC phones that drives me nuts.

Damn this HD+ display makes the sub-HD retina display a joke.

I love this phone!! Let's go HTC!

i feel like most people are just complaining that they think the battery life of the droid dna will be bad. but maybe we should all wait for the official announcement from htc and verizon before we start complaining. battery life is not only dependent on the battery size but also on how efficient the hardware/technology is. so let's wait for the official numbers first. and other than battery life, it doesn't seem like people really have anything else against this phone. i'm personally looking forward to it

You're right: all this speculation/complaaining is because we just do not know. Right now, I'm looking forward to the phone's announcement.
I am pissed that HTC settled with Apple and that they paid Apple. On general principle, that is enough for me to choose the Note 2, the S3 or even the Razr HD. But realistically I sympathize with HTC. And I really want this phone to work for me.
