TRUCKEE, Calif. - After a 19-month hiatus, review and comment on the DEIR on the proposed Canyon Springs development (previously aka Tahoe-Boca) has commenced.
This document is available at our local library, town of Truckee website, and you can obtain a CD copy of the report as well. Public comment deadline is March 1, 2013. Written comments will only be responded to in the Final EIR. Additional questions should be directed to Denyelle Nishimori, Senior Planner at the Community Development Department with the town at 530-582-2934 or email@example.com.
Comments that reflect an "opinion" about this project will not be addressed. For example, don't say "this project will increase traffic." Instead, say, "this project will increase traffic during construction at Glenshire Drive." Comments that state, "I don't like this project" typically result in a response of "Comment Noted."
Comments that are backed by factual support lead to changes in the EIR and in this project, and should be written in a manner that requires lead agencies to respond. After participating in the EIR process, if we as citizens still have concerns or issues, there are other options.
There is value to having multiple citizens comments. If one is generally not worried about this project, then consider that it may be built in ways that negatively affect you, your home, your kids, your neighborhood, the environment, wildlife, etc. This is our opportunity to address any concerns.
If one doesn't think factual comments have any effect, then consider that the only comments that are sure not to have any effect are the ones we don't write. If we do not comment now, we forgo any recourse to comment in the future if there were inadequacies that were not addressed.
I have followed potential development on this site, east of Truckee, since 1986. We would take the time to meet in a neighbor's home, gather information on the development and figure out a way to dispute it. Those meetings kept all informed. Since 2003, meetings have been few and far between. I agree, we are in need of a meeting now, and could certainly be held at our local Glenshire School, and Glenshire Clubhouse. How about a potluck?
Disruption of the placidity of the environment has always been a key issue. The current acreage for sale (excluding this proposed project) off Glenshire Drive encompasses more than 300 acres, yet to be developed. On top of this, the area surrounding the proposed development is full of existing, for-sale lots and other undeveloped areas, such as Sierra Bluffs, Elkhorn, Juniper Creek Hills, The Meadows, Cambridge and more.
The last traffic volume study done on the area was 2006. The findings of the DEIR of April 24, 2007, showed the potential for a significant impact on Glenshire Drive/Donner Pass Road. Without the Canyon Springs project as proposed at the time, it was estimated that intersection could degrade to an unacceptable level of service. Realignment of this intersection was considered, thereby eliminating the failing left-turn.
Adequate evaluation of this project (plus existing undeveloped areas) is needed. I will not let my lack of expertise prevent me from trying to comment on the environmental impacts now and in the future.

In April, the Irish rocker proposes to the British supermodel over the phone, but they call off their engagement in August.
Naomi Tumbles on Runway
A giggling Campbell falls off 10-inch platform boots at Vivienne Westwood's runway show in Paris. The lace-up boots go on display in London's Victoria & Albert Museum, and Campbell uses another pair as a doorstopper in her London flat.
Elite Drops Campbell
Elite fires Campbell on the grounds that "no money or prestige could further justify the abuse" to staff and clients. Describing her as "manipulative, scheming, rude and impossible," the agency says they would not employ her again if she were "the last model on earth." Despite its claim, Elite eventually rehires her.
- 1994
Naomi Battles Cocaine
Campbell (pictured partying with fellow supermodel Kate Moss) tries cocaine for the first time. She explains to ABC's Diane Sawyer in 2005 of her choice: "I was having fun. I was living this life of traveling the world and having people just give you anything. The little glow in your face goes. You know? And I – you do lose weight. That's not why I did it, though, 'cause I do love to eat, but – it's a very nasty drug."
Naomi Campbell Sings
Campbell – singing in a smoky alto – releases an album titled Babywoman. On the back of the album is a picture of a pair of Vivienne Westwood platform shoes with a mobile phone sticking out of them, a joking reference to Campbell's famous phone-throwing habit.
- 1995
Fashion Café
Campbell and fellow supermodels Elle Macpherson and Claudia Schiffer don hard hats and pose at the groundbreaking for their new business venture, Fashion Café. Yes, the restaurant serves actual (non-diet) food – a burger is on the menu. Within five years the six-location chain – opened to capitalize on the popularity of both theme restaurants and supermodels – is closed.
- 1997
Nelson & Naomi
Nelson Mandela (right) designates Campbell an "honorary granddaughter." The model – who's met with South Africa's president five times – announces plans to help him raise a fund for poor and sick kids. "He is the only person I have ever wanted to meet, and I can't believe that I will get to work with him," Campbell tells reporters.

A change could come to Berkeley Countys enforcement of political signs in public right of ways this month.
During Mondays regular meeting of the Justice and Public Safety Committee, council heard from the countys planning director, the Berkeley County GOP chair, and a citizen, who questioned the constitutionality of the countys ordinance regulating erection of political signs in public space.
The county does not allow signs in the public right of ways but, in 2005, created an exemption that said political signs can be placed along roadways within 45 days of an election and would not be subject to setback requirements if it pertained to a candidate or ballot measure. The county does not regulate signs on private property.
No action was taken during the meeting. However, council talked about convening a special meeting April 28 to pass a resolution to halt enforcement of what defines a political sign.
County GOP Chair Terry Hardesty said there is legal precedent for action if county staff removed noncompliant signs. Another citizen commenter said she would file a suit if her signs were removed. Under the current ordinance, an example includes the RINO (Republican in Name Only) signs that are placed in the public right-of-way next to a Republican candidates sign.
Planning Director Eric Greenway also questioned the legality of the countys ordinance.
Im not sure if much of this ordinance would stand up in court, he said. Greenway said hes particularly concerned over the 45-day restriction. He added that his staff would have to enforce whatever ordinance is on the books so it cant be accused of selective enforcement.
In other Berkeley County committee news, the Justice and Public Safety Committee of council approved a budget request seeking an additional 16 corrections officers at Hill-Finklea Detention Center. The request will continue into budget talks in the county.
Last month, Sheriff Wayne DeWitt made the request for the extra staff. He said his employees are working mandatory overtime and safety is a concern. The increased staff would allow more space to open up at the center. The additional officers would be a $775,000 recurring expense.

|Real-Time Chemical Imaging of Bacterial Biofilm Development
Scientists have developed a robust and label-free method to probe the chemical underpinnings of developing bacterial biofilms. Almost all bacteria can form biofilms—dynamic communities of cells enclosed in self-produced matrices of polymers that stick to other bacteria or surfaces in water-containing environments. Coordinated collectively, these bacteria defend against antagonists, break down recalcitrant materials, and produce biofuels. Researchers from Berkeley Lab, Lawrence Livermore National Lab, and UC Berkeley coupled infrared (IR) rays from ALS Beamline 1.4.3 to the first open-channel microfluidic platform to determine the chemistry that shapes biofilm development. This combination of synchrotron radiation–based Fourier transform infrared (SR-FTIR) spectromicroscopy and the microfluidic platform will have a significant impact on several scientific disciplines that require chemical–scale information on biofilm phenotype and function, including Berkeley Lab's bioenergy efforts and subsurface biogeochemical studies.
The mid-IR light (~2.5–15.5 mm wavelength, or ~4000–650 cm–1 wavenumber) from Beamline 1.4.3 is ideal for studying living bacteria individually or in small groups. This light is nondestructive and provides label-free, fingerprint-like spectra originating from the characteristic vibrational frequencies of various functional groups in biomolecules. Fluorescence microscopy yields high-resolution images and measurements of specifically labeled molecules in fixed samples or in engineered or labeled living cells. In contrast, SR-FTIR spectromicroscopy continuously monitors the changing contents in living samples without labeling, detecting functional groups that indicate the types of molecules present and the changes in their chemical composition or conformation. As a result, SR-FTIR spectromicroscopy can be used to study dynamic processes in bacteria living in water as they respond to stimuli, forming and dissolving biofilms.
Because water strongly absorbs mid-IR light, it can completely obscure the IR signals when present even in a thin layer. As a result, bottlenecks in experiments occur when trying to get the optical thickness of water "just right"—enough to support life and ensure the validity of cells in biofilms, but not so much that it masks the molecular fingerprints of interest. To address this problem, the research team fabricated an open-channel microfluidic device that maintains a thin layer of water (10 µm) in a channel that produces minimal IR interference and offers a controllable flow rate.
To evaluate this technique's potential, researchers studied why the antimicrobial agent mitomycin-C (MMC) does not kill some E. coli in biofilms, focusing on the entrance of MMC into bacterial cells and the subsequent chemical changes in the biofilm. SR-FTIR spectroscopic measurements were recorded every 5 minutes over a period of 8 hours, beginning just before the influx of MMC. Analyses at different distances from the MMC source at one end of the channel showed different localized biochemical changes in response to the antimicrobial agent. By combining the open-channel system with SR-FTIR spectromicroscopy, researchers were able to maintain living bacteria on biofilm over a long period of time while capturing continuous measurements and images.
In another study, researchers focused on how environmental conditions influence the initial growth and development of bacteria on surfaces. They compared the spectroscopic changes in microchannels and microwells, which have fast and slow rates of nutrient influx and waste product removal, respectively. Different markers of biofilm formation increased asymptotically in microchannels but increased and decreased cyclically in microwells. One such marker, glycocalyx carbohydrate, was abundant in microchannels at sites with evidence of extensive biofilm growth, confirming the hypothesis that this molecule is crucial to biofilm formation and persistence. Additionally, the microwells' comparatively lower level of glycocalyx carbohydrate suggests a weaker biofilm attachment.
Researchers demonstrate here the ability of the open-channel microfluidic platform to maintain the functionality of living cells while enabling high-quality SR-FTIR spectromicroscopy measurements. Future applications of the SR-FTIR–based microfluidics approach may help explain why some bacteria maintain biofilms in given environments while others do not.

LEWISTOWN - Oral arguments are slated to take place at 11 a.m. on March 5, in the Mifflin County Court of Common Pleas to address a lawsuit in which the fate of the Mifflin-Juniata Career Technology Center hangs in the balance.
The CTC is a vocational educational center built in 1968 in Mifflin County where several programs are offered to high school students in both counties. Some of the programs offered at the CTC include Agriculture Technology, Auto Mechanics, Building Trades, Culinary Arts, Cosmetology and Medical Sciences.
Mifflin County School District terminated a long standing agreement with Juniata County during a school board meeting on July 26, 2012. The Board of Directors passed the resolution by a 7-0 vote.

The fate of the Mifflin-Juniata Career and Technology Center in the Heights section of Lewistown is at the center of a lawsuit filed by the Mifflin County School District Board of Directors. The suit asks the court to award the land to Mifflin County School District upon the closure of the school. MCSD dissolved its agreement with the Juniata County School District effective at the end of this school year and plans to operate a vocational school independently.
Shortly thereafter the Mifflin County School District, by and through its Board of Directors, filed a lawsuit asking the court to award the district ownership of the land.
The possibility of Juniata County School District filing a petition with the court requesting an injunction to stop the CTC closure, still remains.
At present, Mifflin County School District owns roughly 71 percent of the land, while Juniata County School District owns roughly 29 percent of the land. In addition, 75 percent of the approximately 400 students attending the CTC are from Mifflin County School District, which also incurs 75 percent of the costs, according to court documents.
Since July 2012, both parties have attempted to resolve their differences through the drafting of new "Articles of Agreement," but cannot come to an agreement and as such the CTC will not be able to operate beyond June 30, 2013, court documents indicate.
In November 2012, Mifflin County School Board approved a motion to look into the feasibility of reopening the Highland Park Elementary building and housing the CTC at that location. The district's architect, Vern McKissick, presented the board with two concept sketches at their Dec. 20, 2012 board meeting. The Highland Park building measures 67,000 square feet and has a capacity to house the 10 programs currently offered at the CTC. Preliminary costs under the first option would be $7.8 million, with an additional $1.3 million in soft costs. Under a second option, the district would house all its administrative personnel at the building in addition to CTC programs, which would eliminate the current administration building, at a cost of $8.7 million and additional soft costs that could bring the total to over $10 million.
In a letter dated July 9, 2012 and addressed to Juniata County Superintendent Richard J. Musselman, Mifflin County Superintendent James A. Estep writes the Mifflin County "School Board believes that it is in the best interest of our school district to independently pursue the career and technical education needs of our students. As such, the Mifflin County School District will not renew or extend the Articles of Agreement beyond the current term."
"We (Juniata County School District) feel that it's illegal. It's a forced withdraw," Musselman said. "The Articles of Agreement clearly state that both school districts need to agree if there's to be a withdrawl."
The dissolution of the partnership doesn't make sense fiscally, he said. Both districts have invested money in the CTC to ensure quality vocational education for students. While educational goals haven't changed for either district, Musselman said times are tough as far as money for public education and the decision to cease joint operation directly affects students who will be entering the workforce.
Estep reiterated the fact that he Mifflin County board of directors is not interested in renewing an agreement with the Juniata County board regarding the shared use of the CTC.
Estep cited "educational and philosophical" differences between the two school districts as one of the reasons not to continue with the agreement past June 30.
"(We) decided it's in the best interest of Mifflin County students ... we desire to use the facility independently of Juniata County," Estep said.
Estep explained that ultimately the court will decide who will retain the property and if either party should be compensated.
Administrative Director for the CTC Daniel Potutschnig said at this point they are in a holding pattern as they await the outcome of the lawsuit. "Right now it's just a waiting game."
In addition to the March 5 hearing, the court will also hear more arguments and or testimony on May 9 and 10.

Dallas Police Department honors its own for their outstanding work
The Dallas Police Department recently honored a number of officers for their outstanding service to the city.
Officer Alexander Blois was named the department's Johnny Sides Rookie of the Year. The award is named after a rookie officer who was fatally shot during a traffic stop in 1951.
Blois joined the force in January 2010 and was assigned to an overnight shift at the department's north central patrols station.
"He is one of the few that stands out as a young officer wanting to be a 'cop' and not just be here to answer calls and get a pay check," wrote his commander, Lt. Alan Bull.
Bull cited several examples of Blois' dedication to the job, including the March capture of a kidnapping suspect which led to the rescue of two kidnapping victims before any harm came to them, the seizure of more than 100 pounds of marijuana and information related to a murder.
"He is a good young COP who has a solid future in this police department," Bull wrote.
Senior Cpl. Jimmy Bailey was selected for the John T. McCarthy Officer of the Year award. He joined the department in 1980, and currently works as a tactical planning officer for special events.
"Senior Corporal Bailey leads by example," wrote Sgt. Willie Ford. "He believes it is his obligation of each officer to set a higher standard in the community they serve."
The department's long time supervisor of the sexual assault squad, Sgt. Patrick Welsh, received the Supervisor of the Year award.
The 31-year veteran has "developed a well known and respected reputation amongst the community," Lt. Cecilia Hinojo wrote in her nomination letter. "As a rape victim's advocate, he led the way for DNA testing of stranger-on-stranger cold cases."
Senior Cpl. William Free was named the Field Training Officer of the Year for his efforts to ensure that recruits are properly trained.
Sgt. Angela Shaw, his supervisor, wrote that Free formulates a "training strategy" for each recruit and often volunteers to train rookie officers who are struggling.
"If you ask his fellow officers to describe him, words such as honest, patient, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and consistent are quickly repeated amongst them," Shaw wrote. "They would describe him as a father figure who not only teaches the recruit how to be a great beat cop but also teaches them 'Police Life 101' and how being a police officer affects their overall life as a whole."
Brent Kennedy was named the Reserve Officer of the Year for his volunteer work for the department which began in 2006.
"The comment I hear most often from other officers is , 'Brent works harder than anyone in the sector, he shows up at work more often than any of us, always on time and he does it for free," wrote Sgt. LaDonna Williams.
Kennedy, 70, is a retired Army Sgt. Major, which is the highest enlisted rank. He also previously worked for EDS.
The department also honored a civilian employee, Christy Jones, as the Non Sworn Employee of the Year. She was hired in 1994, and works in the department's jail unit.
"Christy is highly distinguished by her initiative and proficiency in not only performing these 'official' duties but moreover the outstanding fashion in which she accomplishes many, many other important tasks well above and beyond her basic job duties," Capt. Troy McClain wrote.
Below are the nomination letters for the awards, as well as information about a number of other officers who were honored with medals of valor, meritorious conduct awards, life saving awards and police commendations.

The Easton Mako M5 Hockey Shoulder Pads are ideal for the intermediate to advanced level player looking for solid protection and mobility. The conic shoulder design and front frame closure system make this pad stand out from the ordinary in on-rink performance and looks.
The fit and closure system will differ from the traditional hockey shoulder pad design as well. The fit has a contoured "second-skin" feel that is secured with the drastically different asymmetric front frame closure system. To fasten the pad, you place both arms into the pad then wrap the outer front panel over the inner front panel. Once the desired fit is adjusted using the rib-wrap fit straps, you can get the perfect fit every time.
Most importantly, the protection on the Easton Mako M5 is top notch as well. Using a combination of high and mid density foams, the front frame closure system provides a thick layer of these foams giving the player excellent frontward protection. The 5-layers of foam in the shoulder cap are not only certified (by not using a plastic insert) but provide extraordinary energy-dispersion protecting not only you but your competitor from serious injuries as well. The plastic inserts in the 2-piece adjustable bicep guard and the segmented back panel work hand in the hand with the layer of medium density foam under it to supply superior protection and mobility.

Comments: straight out of the box i'm impressed, i decided to go with all the Mako M5 pads (shoulder pads, shin guards, and elbow pads) all in all the will take some adjusting. these pads are like nothing i have used before i have never been able to adjust the tricep guard rib guard and how tight the breast plate is. it is so snug and has a thin profile. there is also a lot of padding around the collar bone and the neck.
From: Joe
Comments: Just bought these to replace my old Easton EQpros... the new design was intriguing to me compared to everything else on the market..
The arms and shoulder caps are awesome.. so much more range of movement and so much less bulk.. the 2 piece tricep guard makes a huge difference in feel and movement.
The weight of pads is soooo light... they feel... like you don't feel them
The protection all around is excellent.. but especially in the chest. because of the overlapping closure you get a big wide thick layer of protection there which makes you feel pretty invulnerable.. my second pickup game with them I took a puck and a stick to the chest and felt neither one.
The new closure system takes some getting used to from the standard over the head model that most pads use. it takes some adjusting to get the feel right. straight out of the box they felt tight and constrictive.. but after tweaking the side straps and playing with different closure overlays I got it dialed in.
Because of the overlay closure the sternum protection is much wider than every other pad on the market so it's going to feel like you have a large breastplate on rather than a narrow strip down the center.. and you do feel it at first because you're used to the old style.. but the first time you take a hit either from a puck or a player you'll forget all about how much wider that layer of protection is and be very glad it's there.
Overall.. I compared these to the Bauer one.8's when doing my shopping and they both really had good and bad features, what it came down to was which offered me the most protection with the greatest adjustability for comfort.. and the mako's did it. They aren't going to be for everybody.. especially if you're one of those players that likes to wear a padded t-shirt for shoulder pads.. but in my opinion they are one of the best lightest and most innovative pads on the rack right now.

In 2007 Nau was founded on the idea that style, performance and sustainability could be friends, and we've never looked back. We relentlessly examine and experiment in order to design modern clothing that performs and has the least impact possible on the environment.
Inside these walls you'll find a small, dedicated group of idealists, doers, experts and seekers from the outdoor, apparel and design industries, who share a common purpose—championing a way of doing business that can redefine what business means. We know that focusing on design and its far reaching impact can result in breakthroughs far more often than it results in compromise. We see every day as a new opportunity to innovate, step up and go big (while staying small-ish). And we always start with sustainability to create what's next.
Sustainability isn't a feature, an extra, a nice to have or marketing copy. It's our starting point and our exploration without end. It's woven into every raw material, every pattern and every silhouette. It's our business model, our responsibility to our community, and it's why we partner with and support organizations that matter. We make sure sustainability is built into everything we do.
Why? Because we believe that business can be a force for good. That considering the impact of our designs is critical. And that before we invite others to rethink how they do business, we have to be completely confident in how we run ours. That's why we carefully look at how we develop materials, source factories and how we can influence the entire supply chain. Every link in that chain matters and every decision we make counts. Our hope is that someday the way we do business can have a larger effect on the way things are done. And what was once seen as out of the ordinary will become simply what's expected.
We're here because we believe that there's never been a better time to do what we do and to make it matter than right Nau.
Nau is one of those rare brands that has a chance to change an industry and I want to be a part of it. Nau's gonna be big, just you wait.
Why Nau? The people and the product—they are the very best.
Working with talented creative people, making beautiful functional product, challenging conventional ideas and making a difference.
I love the challenges of working for a start-up company and the sustainable approach to the business model. And dogs, I love dogs, we have dogs.
I think Fatboy Slim said it best: Right about Nau? The funk soul brother.
Why? Because Nau is an amazing group of individuals working relentlessly on a project we believe in. Because we're doing something different that people appreciate. Also, I really like wearing nice clothes.
It's a privilege to come to work each day with amazing, talented people so passionate and dedicated to such an important cause.
Simply put: I enjoy wearing a variety of hats and appreciate the Nau-wide love for tacos and margaritas.
Why? I get to design beautiful products in a like-minded environment with people that support my sugar habit.
DH was too busy eating American pancakes. Check back later.
Why? Destiny.
Why Nau? You're standing on a bridge watching yourself go by.
¿Por que? The people and the company philosophy! Working hard and playing hard go hand in hand.
Why Nau? Passion, love, respect, beauty and to create something different.
Why? Because it ought to begin with the personal. At Nau, that means getting to spend most of my waking hours with crazy talented, diverse and kooky people inspired to share the Pacific Northwest ethos in everything we do.
Why Nau? Craft, compassion, hard work, subtle beauty, outstanding details, good people, honesty… and we get to live in beautiful Portland, Oregon.
The best of both worlds: half the time I get to sell amazing clothing, the other half we travel around and tell the Nau story. Wouldn't have it any other way!!!
I really appreciate how tight (in size) yet vast (in expertise) this crew is. I ask questions and learn so much from everyone each day while trying to cause as much trouble as possible.
I get to solve interesting problems all day long, which I find easier to do without shoes or socks on, which is acceptable here, which is wonderful.
Why Nau? Because clothes are fun, technology is funner, and the tirelessly creative team around me is the cherry on top.
No matter what we're designing, the goal is always the same: to minimize the environmental impact that our products have while making sure that function and design strike an undeniable balance.Learn More
We're on a never-ending quest towards something better. We work with like-minded partners to develop fabrics that truly challenge industry standards when it comes to sustainability, performance, and feel. And proven to all that sustainable fabrics can be luxurious.Learn More

An alleged bank robber didn't even make it to the parking lot as he was detained by a group of unidentified customers in the Newberry bank he was trying to rob, police say.
Antwone Casimir Cormier, 27, of 834 Franklin St., faces three felony charges of robbery as well as misdemeanor charges for theft, receiving stolen property, reckless endangerment and simple assault.
According to police, at about 4 p.m. on Friday, Cormier entered the M&T Bank branch office at 2001 W. Fourth St.
He handed a clerk a bag and note that indicated that the nobody would be hurt if the clerk filled the bag with money, according to the affidavit.
Cormier, who was acting aggressively according to witnesses, had his hands hidden from view. The teller told police he was unable to determine whether or not Cormier was armed.
An unidentified customer recognized that something was wrong and decided to take action. The man slipped out the back door and held it closed, preventing Cormier from fleeing the scene.
He then opened the door, grabbed Cormier, and pinned him on the floor. Several other unidentified customers assisted and the group managed to detain Cormier until city police arrived.
In the affidavit, police said they arrived to find several people holding a struggling Cormier down in the foyer of the building. According to police, $425 in $1 bills was scattered on the floor around and underneath Cormier.
Cormier, who was found guilty of theft in 2008, was taken into custody. He was transported to police headquarters where he allegedly confessed to the robbery.
He was arraigned Friday evening before District Judge James H. Sortman and is incarcerated at the county prison in lieu of $200,000 bail.
It is the second robbery that has occurred at the Newberry branch of M&T Bank this month.
No arrests have been made in connection to the first robbery, which occurred Dec. 4.
Police declined to comment on whether the two cases are related.

Android catches up with iOS: 700,000 apps on Google Play
0. phoneArena 30 Oct 2012, 08:00 posted on
Apple started the app evolution with its App Store nearly four years ago in July 2008, and while Android followed suit shortly after by launching the Android Market…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
It was just a matter of time. Google & Android are #1 in the mobile OS world & pretty soon will be #1 in apps. They are now equal with Apple & will pass them officially in apps sooner than later. This time next year Android will be number one in tablets also thanks to the Nexus 7 & 10.
Android's growth is astounding. By 2016 Android will actually out number PC's meaning that Android will be the most widespread OS in the world.
Android's rise to dominance is just incredible.
5. wendygarett (unregistered)
I dont wanna to throw wet blanket, but You know what? most google play apps are so similar, some apps are even total clone each other, so many talking cat and dog, and too much angry bird clone tho... I dunno whether I should trust those apps or not...
Launcher apps are good, but ordinary people feel it's not neccesary, because some are as lazy as me hate customisation. Don't get me wrong, most are not tech favor so they don't like it...
well, I only agree your last statement. Android's rise to dominance is obviously incredible. +1 :)
8. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
wendygarett, the VERY same can be said about the Apple App Store. That is the norm on any app market place, whether it's Google Play, the App Store or even on Windows Phone.
You may not like customization apps but that is something that is HUGELY popular with Android. That is why people keep choosing Android over Apple, WP & BB.
So your point is pretty much void because the same can be said about Apple. Just look & see for yourself.
10. wendygarett (unregistered)
Sometimes it just hard to me to accept this, I mean, so much negative news on google play that scam is so widespread... yeah I download some apps exclusive on android but all are paid apps... I need sometime to convince myself toward free apps... other than that the rest of apps I downloaded via ios because that what I trust....
I dunno why my point is void, but Apple managed well on apps the most, least clone i get lol
16. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Most scam happened in China and places where Google play is not aviable, many of the apps that are infected or scam are outside of Google play
15. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
would you guys please stop the hate towards apple? you just keep on giving android a bad name to other people if you keep on saying that!!
wendy is right about this, most android apps are clones, while on app store they remove the clones!!
both content are different!!!
its just pathetic that you guys fight like kids over who is better.....
and for the record, since android is linux, which only tech geek could really appreciate its beauty, only tech geek and other people love the customization on android! thats why other people will love the simplicity of iOS and WP and BB and Symbian and deal with it!!! so stop the f u ck ing hate!
19. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Clones get removed on Google play too... as well as fake apps
21. josephnero (Posts: 555; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
bro dont feed the trolls.they dont understand the difference of clone apps and more choices.
for example you dont have alternative keyboards for ios so they assume every keyboard app on googleplay is a clone
24. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
yes... also that...they have choices which is not available to iOS! no launcher, no live wallpaper...
so basically they are completely different!! content are completely different!! so 700,000 apps of apple app store is different from the 700,000 of the google play store!
29. josephnero (Posts: 555; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
thats right
30. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
You figured that out yourself? Genius!
23. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
yes.. they remove but on iOS they halt it.. they stop it!
27. wendygarett (unregistered)
I think that's enough pikachu, let them back pedaling, besides, some consumers dont mind at all, I also don't mind the clone, but the only thing that make me annoyed is that adv on every Google play apps... Wtf it's like that adv agent know all things about me... Where's my privacy Google Lol... From that onward, no more free apps...
Other than that, I think android are pretty awesome, if you don't have one yet, try it lol
35. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
wendygarett, there are apps out there, that let you remove ads. So your problem is solved. No ads & all the privacy you could want. YES!!!
37. wendygarett (unregistered)
Really?? Thanks mordecai!!! But can you teach me how fix it?? Lol
Argh!!! You just make me love android even more dude...
+1 again :)
31. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
How they "stop it" Google removes the app and bans the developer account.... what else you want them to do?
36. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
It's like beating a dead horse. EVERYONE is cracking down on clone & fake apps. NOT only Apple.
33. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Umm......OK. Where to start?
Whatever floats your boat. lol Fact is you don't need to know anything about Linux in order to customize Android. You REALLY lost me with that Linux comment, thus making me believe you know nothing about Android as a whole.
Customization is simple & a joy on Android. If you can install an app then you can customize your Android device without ROOT. Root is a higher level of customization. The way I can only explain it to you is, engine modifications to your car, is what root is to an Android device. Sure it's more techy but it's not anything remotely to what you are alluding to. If you can follow directions in a cook book to cook then you can certainly root an Android device. Linux is only needed if you are actually building a ROM or making a kernel. You need to get your facts straight.
FACT is that Android will always outsell the OS's that limit customization. Customization = uniqueness. Uniqueness is as basic & primal aspect in human evolution. Cavemen customized their appearances with different beads & clothing styles WAY back then, all the way to now. Do you not have your own style, or is your style to be like everyone else? Either way you chose a way to customize your look.
Look at your avatar for instance. You picked it to customize your appearance, if you didn't like customization you would have left it blank. We all by human nature want to be different & Android PROMOTES that. That is why Android is a phenomenon WORLD WIDE.
To say "only tech geek could really appreciate its beauty, only tech geek and other people love the customization on android!" is disillusioned at best. That is one of the simple pleasures of Android. You could not be more wrong.
The people who prefer iOS, WP, & BB are a VERY small minority now, but rest assured that eventually they will run into an Android device & see things a little different. I am not saying that they will hop on the Android bandwagon all I am saying is that they will notice the differences.
What IS pathetic is the way that you let a comment I say ruin your day & make you start to act like a child by using curse words. You are confusing criticism for hate. My words should not make you emotional.
Also just so you know Google removes clone apps too. So please don't insinuate that only Apple does that because EVERYONE does that. Google, Apple, Microsoft & RIM remove clones from their respective app stores, so please get a clue.

Open the market on your iPhone and count how many flashlight and note apps there are. It's like that on both ecosystems.
7. Kronic (banned) (Posts: 321; Member since: 11 Sep 2012)
The UI of the apps available is still cartoonish- look at viber for android and viber ios. There's a huge difference. Ios has the more professional look to its UI.
17. Zero0 (Posts: 592; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Viber is a terrible example because it doesn't follow Google's design recommendations. The Android version looks very similar to the iOS version.
Google's apps are the shining example of what Android is supposed to look like. Unfortunately, of those 700,000 apps, I doubt that more than a few thousand actually follow directions. Many of them follow iOS design patterns or none at all -- that should be the next issue for Android to address. The good news is that it's happening now.
22. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Indeed both look equal in nearly everything.... don't know how an app that looks the same on both is bad on one and good on the other
18. Chuck.Norris (unregistered)
funny you say that, I was on a viber call with an iPhone 4s today, I pressed the home key, took a picture and then sent him the picture through whatsapp, then I asked him to look at it, his answer was if he does the connection will be lost :-( so who looks more professional again?
25. Kronic (banned) (Posts: 321; Member since: 11 Sep 2012)
That's not true viber runs in the background like oovoo,Skype and other social networking apps. I have been an ios user for the past 5 yrs. I use these apps on a daily basis. Tell your friend he is a nut.
38. xtremesv (Posts: 297; Member since: 21 Oct 2011)
It's important to notice that difference in "professional " look comes from lazy developers and it's not a problem with Android OS.
11. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
I agree that android's growth had been incredible. When you can buy android handsets for as little as $30 on sale (on Virgin) or $50 to $80 for non-sale handsets, it's going to get a lot on people to use Android.
I was at Walmart checking out the new $70 to $90 android devices for Net 10 or Tracfone or STalk and Walmart can't keep these units in stock. I never saw so many people wanting android handsets and they were incredibly happy to use the FREE wifi at McDonalds. It's the new hangout for people with android based on the 7" screens for the tablets and 3.2" to 3.5" screens for their handsets. It's like these internet devices are the new TV's for this generation.
14. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I think you come with the same ol argument based on that android biggest numbers come from those devices when the apple Samsung case proved you wrong, year Walmart has cheap android phones... so what? How many are actually Google approved devices?(witch are the numbers Google counts) I think you can't get over that cheap argument of yours
26. ardent1 (Posts: 2000; Member since: 16 Apr 2011)
Actually I won the argument since the Previal was the best selling Samsung android device. People have no idea how popular cheap android devices are and places like Walmart is the best independent source to confirm it.
Cheap stuff sells.
32. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
You ever read the Chart I gave you and suddenly you "won" in the end the high end android devices doubled the low end ones and Galaxy S branding tagged along in there making the S and PS2 sales look small
In the end you simpleton won't get a thing and try to bend things on your favor but here you go

ardent1 is a troll. Just like animals at zoos, it's better to watch but not feed. Ignore him, there's no gain in arguing with him.

Just like all the free iPhones being sold, huh?
41. darkkjedii (Posts: 21292; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Preach brother lol.
2. Lawliet (Posts: 160; Member since: 02 Jul 2012)
Now we need a statistic check on apps that haven't got any download yet.

Android's rise to dominance is just incredible.
Enough said.
Google/android really deserve to get some attention now. They have done such a great job

What android needs is more marketing
4. willywill_evo (Posts: 162; Member since: 05 Jan 2011)
LOL the last complain of Apple fan is gone,can't talk s**t now
6. ddeath (Posts: 168; Member since: 14 Apr 2012)
Congrats! The next step is to make more tablet specific apps and categorize them. Nexus 7 and 10 will rule.
9. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
yeah...they both have 700,000 apps available but they both have different content!
actually numbers dont matter... what matter is the content! does the iPhone/iOS has torrent client? does the iPhone has a tones of angry bird clones?
12. Aeires (unregistered)
It's not about numbers, it's the drastic improvement in Android app quality that gets me excited.
20. ddeath (Posts: 168; Member since: 14 Apr 2012)
That's true. The same can be said for the Android OS. Seeing how it keeps improving and getting better really excites us the users. When I looked at IOS, it seems to be stuck in a time warp that loops it around and around.
28. Lwazi_N (Posts: 205; Member since: 23 Jun 2011)
So who's gonna get to a million first? LOL...
42. The_Innovation (Posts: 610; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
I think it long passed iOS since half of the iOS apps are for the iPad.
43. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Only 275,000 are for the iPad, not quite half. 400,000 of total apps aren't even downloaded. So really, it's like the App Store only has 300,000 apps. No one knows how many apps on Google Play haven't been downloaded, though.

Welcome to modern sports journalism. I was going to say modern US sports journalism, but alas this kind of cheap, unintelligent, childish, completely-lacking-in-insight trash has spread over the pond Its the same kind of journalism that produces the Team Win = They're Great! Team Lose = THEY SUCK! FIRE EVERYONE mentality.
Someone mentioned Woody Paige, and they're spot on, its exactly the same kind of playground writing that he spouted (and which lest we forget, Detroit sportswriters joined in with). If a blackhawks fan came on here and started posting stuff like that they'd be banned as a troll and rightfully so.

KTP Laser Therapy
The Emory Voice Center is the only voice center in Atlanta or the southeast that offers patients with vocal cords lesions an innovative option for treatment – Awake Laser Therapy, also known as Pulsed KTP Laser Therapy. This delicate laser technology allows doctors to treat vocal cord lesions, such as polyps or tumors, as an outpatient treatment without anesthesia. In addition, the vocal cord laser procedure allows patients to be treated without the risk of radiation or damage to the underlying tissue, which better preserves the natural voice. For patients with reoccurring conditions that require regular treatment, such as laryngeal papilloma or laryngeal dysplasia, this treatment is a welcome innovation.
Prior to the use of the pulsed KTP laser, patients with vocal cord lesions regularly underwent a direct laryngoscopy, which is a surgical procedure performed in the operating room that requires general anesthesia. In contrast, the pulsed KTP laser treatment requires only topical anesthesia, poses minimal risk of damage to vocal fold tissue, and takes significantly less time than a traditional procedure.
Patient Advantages
- The pulsed KTP laser is very delicate allowing vocal cord lesions to be removed with minimal damage to vocal fold tissue, thus preserving the natural voice.
- It is ideal for patients with reoccurring conditions because it does less damage to the vocal folds and can be performed as an outpatient procedure.
- The procedure can be performed while a patient is awake and alert - the patient needs only a numbing agent, no general anesthesia, and can drive themselves home immediately after the procedure.
- It replaces the need for traditional inpatient vocal cord surgery requiring only a couple of hours of patient down time as opposed to the two days needed for a typical operation under general anesthesia.

Six teenaged boys were arrested on felony charges of possessing a loaded handgun and other charges following a fight in the parking lot of the Canisius College Koessler Center about 9 p.m. Wednesday after a high school basketball championship game there.
Buffalo police reported finding a loaded handgun in one of the suspect's vehicles. All six, two aged 16, one 17-year-old two 18-year-olds and a 19-year old were all charged with felony possession of a loaded firearm, weapons possession and six counts of disorderly conduct for allegedly violent behavior during a fight, unreasonable noise, obscene language and gestures, unlawful assembly and refusing to move on.

TRUCKEE, Calif. — The Sandamp;P 500 closed the month of August up 2.25 percent. Year to date, the total return from the index has been 13.51 percent. Gold gained more than 5 percent for the month and silver gained more than 16 percent.Bonds declined early in the month only to rebound and finish the month just about where they started. The current yield on the 30-year Treasury is 2.68 percent, and the 10-year note yields 1.56 percent. The long-term Treasury ETF, the TLT, opened the month at $128.53, declined to $120.53, then rebounded and closed the month at $127.72 for a small loss over the month. The intermediate term Treasury ETF, the IEF, opened at $108.84, declined to $106.42 then closed the month slightly higher at $108.99. The strongest sectors continue to be electric utilities and real estate and the weakest sectors have been electronics non-ferrous metals and gaming. Globally the best performing markets have been Egypt, Bangkok and the XETRA and the worst performing have been Shanghai, Hong Kong, Tel Aviv and Jordan.The news from the economic front was not too bad; the economy is still showing signs of modest growth. GDP was revised slightly upward from 1.5 percent to 1.7 percent. The U-3 unemployment rate came in at 8.3 percent.Market participants eagerly awaited Ben Bernanke's speech from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on the last day of the month. It was at his Jackson Hole speech in 2010 that he announced QE2, the second round of quantitative easing. This year he said that due to weak labor market conditions and an overall soft economy another round of QE is on the table. The FOMC meets in mid September and that meeting will be closely followed for indications of future Fed actions. Bernanke made it clear that with interest rates near zero he still believes in employing non-traditional methods, such as large scale asset purchases, for economic stimulus. He also made it clear that the labor market is very weak and that additional action may be required.A good question is how much will another round of QE really help? CNBC crunched some numbers and came up with the following; half a trillion dollars of QE, $500 billion, would produce about $48 billion worth of growth and that's in a $16 trillion dollar economy. That would increase GDP by an estimated 0.2 percent to 0.3 percent and reduce the U-3 unemployment rate by 0.1 percent to 0.2 percent. That's not a lot of bang for the buck.Kenneth Roberts is a Truckee based Registered Investment Advisor.

CRYSTAL BAY, Nev. - In what has become a yearly tradition, local area bands will come together in the Crown Room for a free show celebrating the music of the Band.
On Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 25, 1976, the Band invited a star studded group of musicians and friends to Winterland in San Francisco. This would be the last performance of the legendary group and the event would be captured by famed movie director Martin Scorsese as "The Last Waltz." Joining the Band that night were Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Van Morrison, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Hawkins, Ronnie Wood and Bob Dylan. The Last Waltz would signal an end to original group's illustrious career.
On Saturday, Nov. 24 the Crystal Bay Casino will host several of the finest bands from Northern Nevada including Jelly Bread, Hellbound Glory and the Casual Dogs. The evening will feature music originally recorded by the Band or songs played on that November night 34 years ago.
Each group will take on several of the classic songs in the Crown Room starting at 9 p.m. Several of the Crown Room musicians are expected to join in for a final Locals Last Waltz jam to conclude the evening and celebrate that historic night 36 years ago. There will be an after-party in the Red Room following the show with the Mark Sexton Band.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Bone Drug May Extend Lives of Young Women With Breast Cancer
Dec. 9, 2011 (San Antonio) -- A drug given to protect bones during breast cancer treatment extended the lives of young women with the disease, researchers report.
In a study of more than 1,800 premenopausal women, those given the bone-strengthening drug Zometa along with their cancer drugs were 37% less likely to die over a seven-year period than those who received standard therapy alone.
In 2008, the same researchers reported that women who got Zometa were less likely to have their cancer come back. At that point, the women had been followed for four years since starting treatment.
"Now, with seven years of follow-up, we see there is long-lasting benefit in term of both recurrences and survival," says researcher Michael Gnant, MD, of the Medical University of Vienna in Austria.
A total of 33 of 900 women given Zometa died vs. 49 of 903 women not given the drug.
Although some doctors say the research is too inconsistent at this point to declare Zometa an anti-cancer drug, Gnant tells WebMD the degree of benefit seen with Zometa is comparable to that of many chemotherapy drugs.
He presented the findings here at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium. Gnant consults for Novartis, which makes Zometa and helped fund the study.
'A New Standard of Care'
The premenopausal women in the study had early-stage breast cancer that was fueled by hormones, which promote the growth of about 66% of breast cancers.
All had surgery to remove their tumors and were taking hormone-blocking drug treatments that made them menopausal. Half also were given infusions of Zometa once every six months for three years.
The most common side effects were bone and joint pain and fever. There were no cases of kidney failure or jawbone death, the major problems that have been linked to Zometa and other drugs in its class, called bisphosphonates.
Gnant says he will be offering Zometa to all of his premenopausal patients on hormone-blocking drugs.
"It's a new standard of care [for such patients]," says James Ingle, MD, a breast cancer specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. Ingle was charged with putting the study's findings into perspective for doctors at the meeting.

The child, whose real name is Miles Scott, was expected to appear at Sunday's Academy Awards, alongside fellow superhero Andrew Garfield (aka Spider-Man), who was scheduled to introduce him to the audience.
But Scott, who was born in Tulelake, Calif., was in for a shock with his family upon arriving at the awards show in Hollywood, where they learned his scene had been cut from the program despite some early rehearsals. Everything leading up to the big day went so smoothly.
What happened?
"In full collaboration with the Academy and the show writer, Andrew prepared a segment for the Oscars to honor Miles Scott as the true hero that he is," the actor's rep says. "At some point overnight on Saturday/Sunday morning, it was decided by those running the show that the segment didn't work in the ceremony."
The statement continues: "They decided to pull it – Andrew and Miles were equally upset. The producers arranged for Miles and his family to visit Disneyland on Monday and Andrew drove down to visit them and to bring Miles a personal gift."
Still, the whole situation left young boy's mom baffled.
"I don't know if they ran out of time, or if there was something about the segment they didn't like," Natalie Scott told The International Business Times. "It got pulled so quickly that we didn't have a lot of insight into what was going on. It is kind of a disappointment, but things happen. I know that's how TV goes and how Hollywood is. We're just not used to that."
The Academy released a statement explaining, "Hard decisions sometimes must be made which require the Academy to cut segments due to the logistics of production."
Standing by the popular actor – who was replaced in introducing the superheroes montage by Chris Evans, Jim Carrey and Sally Field – the statement went on to say, "Andrew Garfield understood that his segment had to be omitted. And he drove to Disneyland on Monday to spend time with … Miles Scott and his family."
A source adds, "Andrew really bonded with Miles during rehearsal. They hugged, and the entire room was moved."

Former big-city lawyer China Bayles worked hard to make her Texas herb shop, Thyme and Seasons, a success. Now business is booming at her charming new tea room, Thyme for Tea—but China is too distracted to revel in her latest entrepreneurial triumph. When she's not trying to spend more time with her new husband and stepson, she's worrying about her best friend, Ruby, who just hasn't been herself lately. To further complicate matters, China has to round up a supply of mistletoe, the season's most popular herb. It seems an easy enough task—until her chief supplier turns up dead…

Thomas Vanek's time in Europe is up. Labor negotiations today in New York could determine whether the other Sabres playing overseas will also come back to Buffalo.
The NHL and its players' association are set to make a long-awaited return to the bargaining table. The sides haven't met formally since an hourlong meeting Oct. 18 that ended with each side furious at the other.
A light thaw in the lockout came Saturday when NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly met with Steve Fehr, special counsel to the NHLPA. The duo talked past midnight about several divisive issues and made enough progress that a larger group is convening in Manhattan.
There's no way a deal will be consummated today – the sides remain far apart on primary and secondary collective bargaining issues – but cordial, productive talks could bring hope that the NHL will return in December.
Vanek hopes so. The Sabres' forward headed back to Buffalo on Monday after playing in Austria for a month. His contract with Graz has expired.
"It was a once in a lifetime experience and I will never forget this month," Vanek wrote on his Website, ThomasVanek.at. "Now it's cross your fingers so we have NHL hockey back soon!"
Vanek recorded five goals and 15 points in 11 games in his homeland. He wrote that he was eager to get home to his wife and three children but did not close the door on returning to Austria if labor talks falter.
"There's good, fast hockey played here in Austria," wrote Vanek, who is one of seven Sabres to sign overseas. "My decision to come to play here was the right one. I really don't know how things are going to unfold in the next weeks. ... I want to wait how the negotiations between league and PA are going. It seems as if things are going forward a bit."
The NHL has reportedly altered its "make whole" provision, an item in its previous proposal that led to much debate.
The union expects all contracts to be honored at 100 percent of their signed value, but the league's desire to split revenues 50-50 makes that mathematically impossible. The league's prior offer had contracts made whole in subsequent years after an initial drop, but the mechanism in place essentially had players paying themselves. The NHL reportedly has agreed to pay at least part of the make whole provision.
The sides also have several debates ahead in regards to players' contractual rights, including free agency, entry-level contracts and salary cap issues.
The NHL lockout, which began Sept. 16 and has led to the cancellation of all games through Nov. 30, is in its 52nd day.
While Vanek is done playing in Europe, Jhonas Enroth is finally starting.
The Sabres' backup goaltender has signed with Almtuna in Sweden. His contract runs through Jan. 6, but likely has a termination clause should the lockout end.

A Manchester church is asking for your help.
The pastor at Ark Church of God says they need donations for its Operation: Christmas Tree Drive.
Pastor Bob Beal said donations are down nearly 80 percent from last year and he hopes the community will help give some of his parishioners the help they need.
Right now, the church barely has enough items to help five families, and they are hoping to help 40.
"We want families to know even though we are low on toys, call us. We'll find a way somehow. And that's why we are reaching out to the city to help us . One little gift is going to make a difference," said Beal.
To help out, you can drop off donations at the Ark Church of God on Joliette Street in Manchester.

Direct Adaptive Steering®
It Puts the Future of Driving in Your Hands
After more than ten years of research and development, Q50's Direct Adaptive Steering® (DAS) is here to revolutionize how we drive. This system digitally and instantaneously transmits your steering input directly to the wheels, without a mechanical connection. Its digital processing power lets you steer quicker and smoother than you ever imagined. When you are driving on rough or uneven roads, the system is constantly, automatically making subtle adjustments to give you an increased feeling of stability, while decreasing feedback and vibration through the steering wheel.
Predictive Forward Collision Warning [*]
It Anticipates the Road Ahead
This available system warns you of risks that you may not even see coming. Sensors on the front of the Q50 are constantly scanning the road ahead, monitoring both the relative speed and distance of the vehicle in front of you and the vehicle in front of that one. It sees two cars ahead. If the vehicle in front of the one you are behind brakes for any reason, the Q50 will know it before you do.
Lane Departure Prevention and Active Lane Control
It Keeps You on the Straight, and the Narrow
This system uses a camera to monitor your position within the lane you are traveling. If it senses you moving out of your lane without signaling, you are given an audible warning. If you continue in that direction, the Lane Departure Prevention System [*] will ease you back towards the center of the lane. Active Lane Control [*] can help keep you in your lane when driving during a crosswind or on an uneven roadway.
Backup Collision Intervention®
It's Like Eyes in the Back of Your Head
When you shift into reverse, the Q50's Backup Collision Intervention® (BCI) [*] helps detect approaching vehicles and large stationary objects behind you, and tells you with both visual and audible alerts. If necessary, BCI goes further by automatically engaging the brakes to help you avoid a collision.
Blind Spot Intervention® [*]
It Sees What You
Might Not
This system uses sensors to help alert you if a vehicle is detected entering your blind spot area, and then it helps you avoid it. First, a warning light will illuminate. If you begin moving toward the occupied lane, an audible warning will sound. The system will even apply opposite side brakes to help guide you back toward the center of your lane.
Around View® Monitor with Moving Object Detection [*]
It Gives You a Virtual Bird's-Eye View
Around View® Monitor (AVM) gives you exceptional awareness of your environment when you are parking. Four cameras and some cutting-edge software work together to generate a composite 360° view of your Q50 from above, showing you clearly the stationary objects detected around your vehicle. Not all objects are stationary, of course, so AVM is complemented by Moving Object Detection [*], which alerts you to moving objects detected within the display image. The two systems simultaneously help put you in touch with your surroundings, while also putting you at ease.
Intelligent Key
It Gives You Personalized Service
The Q50's Intelligent Key personalizes your car to suit you, without ever leaving your pocket or your purse. Simply pressing the switch on the door handle unlocks the doors and the driver's seat, outside mirrors, and steering wheel will automatically adjust to your personal preferences.
Q50 Technology
It Puts You In Command
You've never experienced technology and driving confidence quite like this. Once you have, you'll never want to go back.
Safety Shield® Concept
All Things Considered
The Infiniti Safety Shield® concept is our comprehensive approach to safety. The Q50 offers layered technologies to help provide safety and convenience by monitoring conditions, helping you avoid a collision, and helping protect you and your passengers if one occurs.
3.0-liter Twin-Turbo V6 Engine
It Moves You. Literally, and Figuratively
The breathtaking performance of Infiniti's 3.0-liter, twin-turbo V6 leaves nothing to be desired. The engine block is crafted out of aluminum alloy to reduce weight and increase responsiveness, giving you soulful power and a truly thrilling drive. The Q50 is available with either 300 or 400 horsepower and can deliver up to 26 MPG on the highway.
Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
It Puts Power Where You Need It
Q50's Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) puts power to the wheels that need it, when they need it, by instantly adapting to changing conditions. Wheelspin, throttle position, and vehicle speed are constantly monitored so the system can automatically divert up to 50% of the available power to the front wheels, enhancing traction and control in adverse conditions. When all-wheel drive is not needed, 100% of the power goes to the rear wheels for more responsive road performance.

BAYFIELD � Football practice ran like business as usual this week.
The Wolverines quickly moved from station to station, answering the whistles of the assistant coaches in each corner of the Bayfield High School practice field.
Head coach Gary Heide, per usual, kept a close eye on all the Wolverines as they wrapped up their drill work and gathered for a closer look at this week�s opponent: Gunnison.
Never mind the Wolverines are unbeaten (6-0) and ranked No. 3 among Class 2A football teams.
Never mind the visiting Cowboys are winless (0-6).
�From what I�ve seen on film, they are not an 0-6 team,� Heide said. �They move the ball very well on offense. They�ve got some fine athletes, some nice-sized athletes, a couple of quick backs.�
Heide said the Cowboys had success moving the football against the top teams in the Western League, such as Aspen, Basalt and Grand Valley.
Turnovers, however, cost Gunnison in a 27-17 loss to Basalt, then again in a 40-20 loss to seventh-ranked Grand Valley.
�This is the time of the season, if a team is persistent, they can put it together,� Heide said of today�s 7 p.m. matchup at Wolverine Country Stadium � a dangerous homecoming contest.
�And they run a defense that we haven�t seen yet this year,� Heide said of the �33 stack� D.
�It�s a defense that can give the option fits in terms of alignment and what it does to the option,� Heide said. �Your read options may be different.�
The Gunnison defense, similar to Bayfield�s smothering defense, will face a Wolverines� offense that is averaging 29.7 points and 270 rushing yards per game.
Senior TJ Pazell leads the charge, averaging 8.86 yards per carry this season for the Wolverines, who are ranked No. 3 in Class 2A by The Denver Post. He�s posted 620 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.
Sophomore option quarterback Matt Knickerbocker, who started last year as a wide receiver, has produced eight touchdowns � five rushing and three passing.
�We�ll have to perform well right away,� Heide said. �It is homecoming week; there�s always a fear of distractions.�
The team, he said, needs to come out and play like it has played � only better.
�You have to get better as a team. You still have to take steps and get better,� Heide said.
The Wolverines (6-0, 4-0 WL) trail only Kent Denver (6-0) and Eaton (6-0) in the Post 2A poll.
Bayfield is No. 4 in the coloradopreps.com poll, one spot behind defending state champion Florence (5-1). Florence beat Bayfield in the CHSAA Class 2A Boys Football State Championships title game last year.
Other ranked teams in the coloradopreps.com football poll:
No. 5 Platte Valley of Kersey (5-1).
No. 6 Faith Christian (4-2).
No. 7 Grand Valley (5-1).
No. 8 Brush (4-2).
No. 9 Manitou Springs (5-1).
No. 10 La Junta (5-1).
Tonight�s league game against Gunnison will be Bayfield�s final regular-season home game. The Wolverines will travel to Olathe next week before finishing the regular season at Pagosa Springs in two weeks.
�Yes, we�re in a good spot,� Heide said of his state-ranked Wolverines. �But we haven�t accomplished anything yet.�
