The political race many had anticipated would unfold in the 1st Congressional District — the national comedian's sister versus the once-disgraced governor angling for a comeback — is finally here.
Former Gov. Mark Sanford won Tuesday's GOP runoff, 57 percent to 43 percent, over former Charleston County Councilman Curtis Bostic, according to unofficial results.
Sanford now faces five more weeks of campaigning before a May 7 showdown with Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, whose business background and moderate politics are expected to make for an unusually competitive contest.
"The toughest race out of all these is coming up," said former Berkeley GOP Chairman Tim Callanan as he waited for Sanford to speak.
After Sanford thanked supporters, family and his fiancee, Maria Belen Chapur, who made a surprise appearance Tuesday night, he began sounding out themes that separate him from Colbert Busch.
Those include whether health care should be predominantly government's role or based on free-market principles, whether the National Labor Relations Board should decide if Boeing can add jobs in South Carolina, and whether Washington, D.C., will get its financial house in order.
"If you go into a general election, I think there are some real contrasts that don't exist in a primary," he said.
Democrats 'motivated'
Colbert Busch released a statement late Tuesday, saying Sanford "simply has the wrong values for our community."
She predicted "a vigorous campaign that focuses on creating jobs, balancing our country's budget and choosing an independent-minded leader who shares the values of the great people of South Carolina."
S.C. Federation of GOP Women Chairwoman Charm Altman said she has heard that Sanford is weaker among women voters because of what unfolded in 2009, when he left the country to visit Chapur, then his mistress.
That almost got him impeached, led to his divorce from his wife Jenny and eventually to a record ethics fine.
"My Bible says we've all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God," Altman said. "He just needs to keep standing on his record."
Sanford often has owned up to his 2009 implosion, but asked voters not to judge him any more on his worst day than on his best day, and has said his failings have brought him a new humility that Washington needs.
"I want to thank my God," Sanford said. "I used to cringe when somebody would say, 'Ok, I want to thank my God.' At that point, I would say, 'OK, this is getting uncomfortable,' but once you've really received God's grace and seen it reflected in others, you cannot stop for a moment and publicly acknowledge that grace."
Sanford said Chapur's appearance at Tuesday's party — the first time most have seen her in the campaign so far — surprised him. "I said she's going to show up when she wants to show up. She did exactly that tonight. She surprised me. I didn't know she was coming, but I'm excited to see her."
The last close 1st District race, in 2008, also featured a Republican man versus a Democratic woman. Incumbent Rep. Henry Brown squeaked by Linda Ketner, 52-48 percent.
Callanan noted that Democrats' relative lack of success poses its own challenge for Republicans. "They're high intensity," he said. "They've been waiting. They're motivated."
Spotlight on S.C.
The race is expected to attract more national attention than almost any congressional contest, in part because of its well-known participants and because it's a special election in a world where the news cycle never ends.
Just moments after media outlets declared Sanford the winner, U.S. Sen. Kristin Gillibrand, D-N.Y., urged her extensive list of online subscribers to help "fight back" against Sanford, according to buzzfeed.com.
Lowcountry voters haven't elected a Democrat from the 1st District for more than three decades, but Colbert Busch already has shown an ability to raise money, a necessity in modern politics, partly thanks to her younger brother, Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central.
CNN reported Tuesday that Colbert plans to host two fundraisers for his big sister in New York and Washington soon.
First District GOP Chairman Jim Davis said the upcoming race "will attract a lot of people, a lot of attention and a lot of conversation — and a little of it may be about the issues, the substance."
Sanford's win matched the prediction of a recent Public Policy Polling poll, which also showed him in a dead heat in a match-up with Colbert Busch.
Tuesday's turnout was about 10 percent, down slightly from the 12 percent who voted in the Republican primary two weeks ago.
Will the GOP unite?
It's unclear how many of Sanford's 15 former GOP rivals will help him. Only one, former Bush White House official Jonathan Hoffman, stood with Sanford as he gave his speech Tuesday night.
Bostic's concession speech came in front of about 75 supporters gathered at his West Ashley law office and did not include an immediate endorsement of Sanford. Bostic said he would wait at least a day, until the dust settles.
"Success or failure is not measured by a moment in time," he said, adding that Sanford's was "a campaign well run. ... We wish him the best."
He had hoped Republican voters would prefer a fresh face, calling his campaign, "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," and he thanked his staff and volunteers for logging more than 50,000 phone calls and then some. He led the crowd in a round of "God Bless America."
Voters who will turn 18 years old by May 7 may vote on that day, if they register with their county election office by April 7.

Sanford will now face Elizabeth Colbert Busch, sister of the famous television personality, in the general election.×
Candidate Curtis Bostic and his wife Jenny went to polling places, like Seacoast Church in Mount Pleasant, on Tuesday to meet voters in the Republican primary run-off with Mark Sanford for the 1st District seat.×

"It's time to take our destiny and our definition back into our own hands," Mazzuca said. "We have such a positive story to tell."
First, being honored at the Council Board meeting, introduced as a member of the James E. West fellowship and Life member of the Scouting Heritage Society.
Then, having the honor of correspondence with Alvin Townley. A reminder of the impact we have on Scouting and our Nation. That no matter what our role is in Scouting and especially those that have worked to achieve the Eagle Award. The message is that we owe this organization called Scouting a great deal. It has given us so much, we need to give back.
Over the last few weeks I have been caught up with the overwhelming thought of our impact on these young men. It has almost become an obsession.
I know that the program our unit offers is consistent and in keeping with the traditions and values of the Boy Scouts of America. But are we doing all that we can to ensure our program instills the value of return in our Scouts.
I had lunch with my Dad yesterday. He was an active part in my Scouting life as a youngster.
An assistant Scoutmaster in my troop and a great teacher of out door skills.
He is a merit badge counselor and a member of our Troop committee now. We were talking about our obligation to give back. He gives as he says "till it hurts" both in time and money. And don't we all, the point is we find what we love and who, how, and what we want to support. Scouting is unique though in that it is a values base that stays with us for our life time. In that set of values we find rules to live by and obligations that direct our lives. Obligations that ask us to serve. To give and give back.
By giving back we perpetuate those values, teach them, and watch as our young men grow in character and our nation benefits form our actions a Scouts.
Our Creed of Honor that grows in all of us.
This idea of impact is burning in me right now. It is a good time to be a Scout, Scouter or a supporter of Scouting. Our nation needs Scouts and Scouting and we as leaders need to do what we can to keep it alive and well.
The Board of Directors of the Cascade Pacific Council stated at the last Board Meeting that "Scouting is healthy." In a time that the economy is uncertain, war, and a general attitude that our future is uncertain, the one thing that has not changed and will remain constant is Scouting.
Our values, our program, and our commitment continues to stir in the hearts of Scout leaders and the Scouts we serve.
Now if that does not make you think…well time to head to another blog.
Ralph Waldo Emerson's observation that "an institution is the lengthened shadow of one man." Scouting today is the "lengthened shadow" of all of us that continue to give back.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Color Grown Certified Organic Cotton Yarn
Pakucho is both Fair Trade and Vegan Yarn.
Each hank is 50g (1.75oz) and 81m (88yds.). The average needle sizes are #7 (5 sts = 1"), #8 (4.5 sts = 1") and #9 (4 sts = 1").
This is a worsted weight yarn. This yarn has a 10-15% shrinkage in the length if you machine dry it and it will get darker with repeated machine drying. If you do not want the color to change or to avoid shrinkage, wash in cool water and lay flat to dry.
This color is best described as cafe mocha (with golden undertones). I do my best to detail each color along with displaying the photo, but since monitors vary and if you're not familiar with this yarn, I highly recommend that you buy a color sample card (see Our Products to the left). It is well worth it!

The lovebirds have recorded a duet they wrote together, "Who You Love," for Mayer's new album, Paradise Valley (due out Aug. 20). The song gives lyrical insight into the on-again couple's irresistible attraction to each other and hints that they split in March because Mayer wasn't ready to be in a relationship.
The mid-tempo track features Mayer, 35, singing the lines: "My girl, she ain't the one that I saw coming / sometimes I don't know which way to go / and I tried to run before but I'm not running anymore / 'cause I fought against it hard enough to know / that you love who you love who you love / you can't make yourself stop dreaming of who you're dreaming of / if it's who you love, then it's who you love."
Trading verses, Perry – whose own album, Prism, will be out Oct. 22 – hints at Mayer's bad-boy reputation when she responds with: "My boy, he ain't the one that I saw coming / and some have said his heart's too hard to hold / and it takes a little time / but you should see him when he shines / 'cause you never want to let that feeling go / when you love who you love who you love."
As for her laugh at the end of the tune, Perry, 28, tells SIRIUSXM's Morning Mash Up "that's just a love giggle. It's like the ones that Mariah Carey had in 1990," she jokes. "I was going for that, I think I was just so happy ... You're catching the real moment there."
Perry admitted to Vogue in June that she was "still madly in love" with Mayer months after they broke up, and said that despite his playboy reputation, he had a "beautiful mind" but a "tortured soul."
Mayer, who had high-profile relationships with Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson and was rumored to have had a fling with Taylor Swift in the past, dedicated a song to Perry during a concert in July, saying he was grateful she had taken the time "to get to know me and love me" when he was recovering from granuloma surgeries on his vocal cords rendering him unable to speak.

As a kid, Emma Stone never liked to be separated from her mom for long.
So when Krista Stone called her daughter in October 2008 to break the news that she'd been diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer, Stone did everything in her power to be there for her.
"I was oddly stoic, the opposite of how I usually am," the actress revealed May 21 at the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation's 6th Annual Peace, Love and a Cure cocktail reception in Creskill, N.J. "But it was terrifying."
At 19, living solo in Los Angeles with her career just starting to take off, Stone still made her mom a priority, flying back home to Arizona as often as possible to be with her through her treatments – including a double mastectomy and a year and a half of grueling chemo.
"I'm sure, in private, Em lived in fear and anxiety," says her mom, who was honored at the reception. "But she really shifted into this [mode of], 'We're going to take care of this, and everything's going to be fine."
About 10 to 20 percent of the 180,000 breast cancers diagnosed each year are considered triple negative, which are highly aggressive and notoriously tough to treat.
Carriers of the BRCA gene mutation (as is carried by, she herself revealed, Angelina Jolie) have an 85 percent chance of being triple negative – though Stone's mom "tested for the gene mutation and she was negative, which was very lucky," she says.
Later this year Krista – who got matching blackbird tattoos with the actress after her experience – will celebrate five years cancer-free. Says Stone, "It's incredible."

Green Day kicked off a special week of live performances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on Monday, rocking through cover of "Rip This Joint," off the Rolling Stones' 1972 benchmark release, Exile on Main St. Watch it here.
The week-long streak of cover performances -- also featuring Sheryl Crow (May 12) and Phish (May 13) -- is in honor of Exile's reissue on May 18. The song selection was appropriate for Green Day, who flaunted their classic rock influences on their latest album, 2009's 21st Century Breakdown. "Rip This Joint" is one of the Stones' faster, more frenetic jams, and the Bay Area punks revved up its energy, recruiting a second guitarist and keyboardist for the performance to blast out the tune's wild honky-tonk solos.
Green Day have been quite busy of late. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong appear on the cover of SPIN's April issue, the band's musical American Idiot recently debuted on Broadway, and the boys are gearing up to hit the road this summer for a massive tour in continued support of 21st Century Breakdown, including a headlining slot at Chicago's Lollapalooza Festival.

Out of all of them who is the most bad ass frighter?
i don't say much because theres not much to say
thinking logicly Goku cause sure he dies but comes back to life like 7 times and ichigo cant because he will gust turn into a human and be helpless and naruto mabey will stand a chance and luffy will be the fist to go every other chacter has a sharp tool and a super power The Greatest Clan In Death and Universe... The Zombaukto Clan *
ichigo turns into a hallow when he dies and his hallow form
instanly heals.
join my clan it is called the full metal clan!
I think Goku... hands down. He's died repeatedly and just keeps coming back so he kinda has the advantage there, plus he's been fighting evil since he was like five. In second place I would put Ichigo mostly because of dark Ichigo though who happens to 'save' him in the nick of time a few times and kicks the bad guys asses until Ichigo stops him.Love... is just a different kind of pain.
!!!Kurosaki Ichigo!!! _____ni takakunai desu!!!___ naruto,goku and ichigo but naruto is good in chakra thingis and goku is better in fighting and EATING and ichigo is good in fighting and other things haha
i think that goku would win .
yeah GOKOU^^
i agree! :D
i agree! :D
i think that goku will and could bet them all by himself hahahaha i mean it will be a very good fight to see but my money is on goku all the way.
after watching the final episode of naruto I can safely say that he will win for the soukl reason he could probably lift goku ichigo and luffy up with one finger and rip them in half with the other"Simon, don't belive in me that believes in you, believe you that believes in me that believes in you!!!"
Goku can reach super saiyan 3, Ichigo can use Bankai and hollowify, Naurto has the Kyuubi, not sure who Luffy is. Ichigo has a time limit to hollowify and Naruto can't control the powers of the Kyuubi after 4 tails and it takes a toll on his body. Goku might be the one to last the longest.
if you dont watch bleach you could never understand why ichigo would win
the dragonball z saga ended goku died while ichigo keeps getting stronger and more episodes are comming out
It would be between Goku and Naruto, Goku as a Super Saiyan probably ss3 would beat the hell out of the rest!
i would have to say that kakashi would beat all of them because he is a secret agent oh yea i said it that mask makes him a secret agent of the hidden leaf why do you think every one is trying to look under that mask.

Kourtney Kardashian took her children, Mason, 3, and Penelope, 15 months, to Underwood Farms Fall Festival in Moorpark, Calif., on Sunday.
Joined by Kris Jenner and makeup artist pal Joyce Bonelli, Kardashian "looked gorgeous" in a black floppy hat, sunglasses, loose white button-down and Converse sneakers, an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
The whole group took a ride on the tractor train and Kardashian's kids "were so well behaved," the source adds.
As the day went on, the group settled into the bleachers to watch a pig race. Sitting between Jenner and Bonelli, Kardashian held Penelope. "They were having so much fun!" the source says.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Dendreon said today it signed off on a $40 million securities class-action settlement to address claims filed against the troubled company two years ago by investors who alleged that it misled them about its finances, business operations, and prospects for its prostate cancer drug Provenge.
In a statement, Dendreon and three current and former executive officers named as co-defendants in the suit said they "continue to deny that any statements they made were false or misleading." Dendreon also noted that $38 million of the settlement payment will come from its insurers. That payout is nearly equal to the size of the company's most recent quarterly loss—$38.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2012, on total revenues of about $85.5 million.
"Upon final approval of this settlement, Dendreon will have eliminated the potential distraction from ongoing class action litigation that began in 2011," Christine Mikail, Dendreon's executive vp, corporate development, general counsel and secretary said in the statement. "We are pleased to put this matter behind us."
The lawsuit at issue is In re Dendreon Corporation Class Action Litigation, Master Docket No. C 11-1291 JLR, filed Feb. 24, 2012, in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington. The class-action filing was a consolidated amended complaint that followed the filing of several individual lawsuits filed the previous summer by lawyers for various investors that purchased Dendreon common stock between April 29, 2010 and August 3, 2011. San Mateo County Employees Retirement Association served as lead plaintiff in the class-action suit, which sought unspecified damages from Dendreon.
The litigation against Dendreon was touched off by the company halting trading in its stock August 3, 2011, after announcing only $49.6 million in company sales due to lower-than-expected demand for Provenge. At the time, the company said it would abandon previous revenue guidance of $350 million to $400 million for 2011, and added that it now expected only "modest quarter-over-quarter revenue growth for the remainder of the year." Dendreon also announced reductions in its workforce and other expenses.
The following day, Dendreon's stock price plunged about two-thirds, from $35.84 to close at just $11.69. The 67% drop wiped out more than $3.5 billion in market capitalization.
Citing interviews with 12 Dendreon employees and internal company documents, the class-action plaintiffs alleged that Dendreon and its officers:
Even worse, the plaintiffs alleged, the co-defendants and other company insiders collectively sold nearly $86 million of stock while it was still priced high—including $35 million by one co-defendant, former chairman and CEO Mitchell H. Gold, and another $5.7 million by co-defendant Gregory T. Schiffman, the former CFO.
Dendreon had promised to fight the allegations. In its 10-Q filing with the SEC, Dendreon declared: "The company believes the claims lack merit and intends to defend the claims vigorously."
Today Dendreon said it expects the settlement will receive the needed approval, but cautioned that the process normally takes several months, as settlement terms must be formally documented and are subject to approval by the district court following notice to all class members.

Ducks' forecheck continued to give the Wings issues. Everytime Kindl or Quincey were in behind the net, I held my breath.
Break the forecheck by quick outlets which requires your D to be able to recognize and make quick and correct decisions.
Anaheim has been able to keep this strategy up due to our lack of overall team speed I think. We can't get up the ice quick enough to really make them pay for being so agressive.
On the flip side, we don't offer up much of a forecheck. Again, due to lack of overall team speed to be able to get back into the play.

Most viewers will remember Ramis as Egon Spengler, the dry one in his landmark '84 hit Ghostbusters. No, the really dry one – the egghead who strapped Rick Moranis into some sort of cranial contraption to hear him spout about the return of Gozer the Traveler; the one who explained the amount of psychic energy running amok in New York City as equivalent to the size of a 35-foot Twinkie; the guy who issued a grave warning not to cross the streams. (He was wrong about that last one, it turns out.)
Ramis had plenty of other noteworthy roles as well, a gentle, knowing kindness always carrying through. He was Seth Rogen's sweet, accepting dad in Knocked Up, Diane Keaton's far less accepting boyfriend in Baby Boom and in Stripes, he played Russell Ziskey, the enlisted man who couldn't quite believe what he'd gotten himself into, alongside frequent collaborator, Bill Murray, with whom he famously fell out.
But Ramis found his most lasting legacy as a director and writer. He wrote the screenplays for comedy classics like Animal House, Meatballs and Back to School. He helped Robert De Niro reinvent himself as a funny man by writing and directing Analyze This and Analyze That. He also went behind the camera for Caddyshack and National Lampoon's Vacation, adding his particularly smart brand of silliness.
But you don't have to be a comedy purist to argue that Ramis's best directorial work was for Groundhog Day, one of a half dozen films he did with Murray. That film, about a weatherman stuck in a nightmare loop of a repeating day, is vintage Ramis. It's funny, absolutely, but also tempered by existential ennui, the sameness of a life not well lived forcing Murray's Phil to realize what a cretin he's become. Ramis's last film, 2009's Year One, with Jack Black and Michael Cera, wasn't up to his best work. But that hardly matters in a career that came to define what funny movies were to multiple generations of viewers.
By all accounts, Ramis was also a heck of a guy, willing to work with younger writers and pass on what he knew. We'll always have his films, those beautiful, unhinged pieces that spoke distinctly of his sensibility. But I can't help but miss the jokes he would have made the next time around. Call it sentimental, call it cheesy, but I'll be toasting a marshmallow in his honor.

Google Nexus 4 vs Samsung Galaxy S III
0. phoneArena 26 Nov 2012, 06:36 posted on
For as long as we can remember, Samsung has proven itself as being the premier smartphone maker out of Korea, as Sammy's renowned Galaxy smartphone handsets have seemingly been greeted with open arms by people worldwide. Sitting in the shadows, it wasn't until recently that LG finally emerged from out of the depths with the impressive LG Optimus G, but without pausing for a moment, they've undoubtedly came out of nowhere with the one-two punch offering of the Google Nexus 4. With the mighty name behind its product, will LG's Nexus branded smartphone pull ahead of the Samsung's current pride and joy in the Galaxy S III?...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

Both of them are just perfect piece of technology. But I'll still pick S3 over design and features.
I think Google really have to workout those thick bezels on Nexus phones which just don't make sense to me at all. I didn't buy Nexus from Samsung just because of this and won't buy LG Nexus for the same reason as well.
35. jan25 (Posts: 470; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
the Nexus 4 is both shorter and narrower than the One X which also has a 4.7 display. i can almost bet it's bezel is thinner than S3 too.
53. Galen20K (Posts: 541; Member since: 26 Dec 2008)
I own both and I can honestly say I love both of them just as much for various reasons. If you really had to choose between the two, you really can't go wrong with either. And that's the truth. There have never been so many fantastic Smartphone choices as there are now, and not just between these two but also many others on the market. Its a fantastic time to be a technology enthusist. - )
2. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
LG Nexus 4 for software, people who prefer experience over power.
Samsung Galaxy S III for all the brawns and muscle.
Good review once again!
Nexus 10 smackdowns next, along with 920 vs Nexus 4.
11. MeoCao (unregistered)
Nexus 4 has qua core, GS3 dual core only so how GS3 can have more power?
GS3 has more flexibility: removable battery and SD slot and more internal memory. GS3 camera is better but for the rest it's Nexus all the way.
12. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
The S III is a quad-core device and both perform rougly equally.
14. MeoCao (unregistered)
Look again, US version of GS3 is dual core, other versions are quad core but A9-based while Nexus is Krait quad core which is much better.
15. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
Europe here :>.
23. nwright94 (unregistered)
Why would someone thumbs down you for living in Europe??
33. ncv144 (Posts: 126; Member since: 04 May 2012)
Look again, US is only one country, there are 184 other countries and many of them have the quad core version (some dont even have the s3) which greatly outnumbers the US dual core.
36. New_Enthusiast (Posts: 3; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
The review is using the Sprint model. A US version. So it doesn't matter if the quad core version is in more countries, because the review is using the dual core version. It's the very first line of the article.
40. Raymond_htc (Posts: 430; Member since: 06 Apr 2012)
*Facepalm- GS3 Dual core is for the american version.
International version of GS3 is QUAD Core.
46. darkkjedii (Posts: 21359; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
S3 international version is quad core bro
39. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
Software wise the Galaxy S3 and Samsung s**ts all over the stock Android features that will always be. Nobody beats Samsung in the software and features side not even Google. .
47. darkkjedii (Posts: 21359; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
3. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
I would choose Google Nexus 4 over Samsung Galaxy S III.
4. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
The Galaxy S III is the slightly better phone but the killer price, an fast-updatable pure Android experience is what would make me pick the Nexus 4 everyday.
Also, i actually prefer the LG Nexus 4's design and material choice over the S III.
18. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
I never sweat the updates as XDA will post the 'pure' updates for almost any phone within a week after Google releases it.
5. louiemapa (Posts: 28; Member since: 01 Nov 2012)
How about 920 vs S3 or nexus 4?

The S3 is rightfully the phone of the year, but nothing beats the Nexus 4's bang for it's buck. The only phone I'd consider over it would be the Note II, which is worth every extra penny you need to throw at it, however I think I'll wait for next year and a Nexus phablet, surely, they have devices in all segments but in the tabphone.

actually, the htc droid dna is the phone of the year......it has started the era of the 1080p smartphones and it looks really good, the htc one+ is a great one as well, especially because most of the android games are being optimized for nvidia processors
actually, the note 2 can't run a single tablet app....its just 0.5 inch bigger than the droid dna, so note 2 or the droid dna should be the best android phone of the year

Being a Verizon customer, LG/Google didn't give me the option between the two.

Lumia 920 vs iPhone 5?
10. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Or, the Droid DNA vs. the GS III? That would fit the theme of the crop of 2013 Android phones vs. the king of 2012 Android phones.
41. Raymond_htc (Posts: 430; Member since: 06 Apr 2012)
No need to compare- Droid DNA Would completely smack the GSIII out of the arena! Recent articles also says that Droid DNA is no power hogger!
9. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I wonder how far out into the future Sammy will be providing updates? JB on the GS III may be a 2013 event for the 'official' carrier-supported version. But what about KLP? The hardware would seem to be quite future-proof (at least for 2 years or so).

Actually I don't think stock android 4.2 is better than the latest Samsung 4.1 version with split screen functionality.
If we put the price aside, the s3 wins this quite obviously IMO
17. TheOldOne (Posts: 190; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
you are not far from the truth. I don't have a S3, but I do own a Galaxy Nexus recently updated to 4.2: the feeling is that 4.1 had more stability (there are some issues with 4.2 I don't have time to describe here).
I do not mind it tough: this is the very reason I got GNex, to live on the edge, with the last nightly build of Android is possible (I run takju build since this one seems to get the fastest OTE updates).
If you are an S3 user tough, you may feel different tough, and you may not care of new features to much if it comes with some instability.
28. Zero0 (Posts: 592; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
4.2 isn't a terribly huge deal.
5.0 probably will be. The Nexus 4 will be one of the first devices to get it. The S3 will have to wait some time.
Price aside, I don't think it's "quite obvious" that the S3 wins. Many prefer the build and display of the Nexus 4. The S3 offers more carriers, microSD, a removable battery, and a marginally better camera. For some, these details are irrelevant, or at least not worth the software delays and skins.
31. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Well, there's also a larger screen.
I know 0.1 of an inch is negligible but when you put the on -screen buttons in the picture, the difference turns quite visible.
I'd call the Nexus' SoC advantage irrelevant since the petty internal memory pretty much negates any real use of the Nexus as a gaming device.
Now days Android games take up to 3.5Gb of space (the Bard's tale), and the future prospects are not going down.
38. Zero0 (Posts: 592; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Very good point on the on-screen buttons. The Nexus' storage situation is pretty bad. I get the dislike for SD slots, that's fine. But not offering a 32GB option (if not a 64GB model, as well) was a bad move.
I personally prefer the Nexus, but that's the beauty of Android: choice. I like the Nexus 4, somebody else likes the S3, the Note 2, Droid DNA, Razr HD Maxx, or whatever else.

Galaxy slll is better,but nexus 4 is the best.

Nexus 4 is great, but what Samsung have done with the SIII and NoteII is just incredible. :)
27. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
This is what I'm talking about :)
I've said already that I believe Samsung will take Android 5 and then ditch Google's updates and development in favor of their own.
It will be something along the lines of "Android X", or more likely "Android S"
20. paul48 (Posts: 17; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Your comparison of connectivity didn't list the SG3's FM Radio with RDS, so when out of internet signal range, SG3 can still receive news, unlike the LG
22. paul48 (Posts: 17; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
The above comparision also missed the post "Nexus 4 and USB-on-the-go are no-go" on this site 2 hours earlier, pointing out you cannot run USB peripherals on the LG, unlike the Samsung SGS3 & Note2. It seems LG, s marketing department aren't telling their designers to include the same full-feature tick-boxes that Samsung does, which is a shame as Samsung gives the customer everything (excepting a Nokia quality camera and superior IPS screen) they desire, expandable memory, replaceable batteries, FM Radio - hence the most sold smartphone of the year !!! Why doesn't the competition learn from such simple facts ?

I am the proud owner of a phone which can give a very good fight to the newest Nexus breed - despite having only half as much Ram and being half a year old! :D
Love my GS3 International. :D

26. jan25 (Posts: 470; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
when Key Lime Pie is released next year, the S3 will be trashed and the Nexus will be the first to run it unaltered and the difference will be day and night between the two.
32. Jillsandwich (Posts: 62; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
That's why you have XDA.
34. jan25 (Posts: 470; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
not if KLP turns out to be a major update like ICS. it will be a while until the S3 tastes the update and even then it will probably not be as good as the Nexus.
29. TMach (Posts: 457; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
Both trailing behind the HTC One X+ in truth.................If you've used it you will know what I'm talking about. I would have leaned slightly to Nexus 4 but the 16gb memory limit is a no go for me! The One X+ is so well rounded, it is unbelievable...
37. polodennis (Posts: 2; Member since: 26 Nov 2012)
in my opinion what makes the s3 win is the micro sd card slot
42. 007akshay (Posts: 37; Member since: 20 Jun 2012)
i think s3 is better coz of memory card slot + good camera+lte in other wise nexus n s3 are similar so plz google understand wat customers want if u do dat den u vil b top in everything.............

45. Nikolas.Oliver (banned) (Posts: 1574; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
why is everyone saying that super lcd 2 is better than super amoled hd ? i personally prefer samoled hd over super lcd, isn't it downgrade from gnex's screen ? lcd doesn't have that "WOW" effect when you see it because the color is average...when my friend saw my gnex screen they said "wow your phone's screen color is better than my hdtv"
49. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
The Nexus 4 doesn't use S-LCD 2, it uses LCD-IPS.
But, it's a matter of preference. Some people like the contrast/saturation of AMOLED, some like the natural colors and superb viewing angles of S-LCD/LCD-IPS.
AMOLED displays give me a headache if I look at them for more than 10 minutes, though it still is a quality display. I just enjoy LCD more because I can look at it for longer, and it gives better outdoor visibility.
48. sadiqsamm (Posts: 2; Member since: 13 Sep 2012)
I am with nexus always. I hate to have to wait for months for simple software updates. The ease to which I can unlock/lock back, root and install clockworkmod recovery is something I can never give up for any other brand of phone.
50. samystic (Posts: 230; Member since: 25 Mar 2012)
is PA not interested in a full fledged review and comparison of Nokia Lumia 920? i waited patiently to comment / complain on this.
51. Cha7520 (Posts: 221; Member since: 31 Oct 2010)
GS3!! Better Camera, Better 1080p, I like the Amoled display more, not the washed out colors of the Nexus 4. You can't swap out a battery or memory w/ the Nexus 4. I have LTE speeds with my GS3. And Yes, I can wait for 4.1 this month and 4.2 next year. The only thing that is better with the Nexus 4 is the speed, but in some benchmark tests the GS3 is faster...so, no, the Nexus 4 doesn't compare to the overall offering of thes GS3.

Nexus 4 is better than Samsung galaxy S3
55. uromeo16 (Posts: 3; Member since: 26 Dec 2012)
I actually have both phones because I like to switch off every once in a while. Personally, I prefer using the Nexus for everything because it doesn't have bloatware like the Galaxy. My Nexus 4 is great for watching TV on. For example, I like using the DISH Remote Access app which lets me stream live TV through the Sling Adapter that's connected to my receiver at home. It comes in handy when I can't see a show because I'm not at home.
56. Neil64 (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Apr 2013)
I know this is an old thread but I am looking for replacment for my T-999 Samsung SIII due to its lack of noise reduction when using a wired headset. Everyone I call when using various brands of wired headsets says I sound like I am near or in a water fall. The brackfground noise is terrible and I have heard it myself. I have tried 3 other T-Mobile S3s and all are the same. Now blue tooth headsets sound fabulous on the SIII. And the pentile Amoled display is fuzzy when compared to a IPS-LCD on a iPhone or Nexus 4.
The Nexus 4 has great call quality using the ear piece, wired and blue tooth headset. It is markedly better than the S3 in call quality in every regard. And I like the display more because it is tack sharp and easier to see in direct sunlight.
As I do not like vanilla Andriod, the SGIII wins on every other aspect including Touch Wiz and the colors used in Samsungs stock themes, SD slot, replaceable battery, etc.. As I have never rooted, I am not looking forward to spending countless hours to learn how to root to get some screen with some colors.
In the end, I use my phone for voice calls 90% of the time and I like using wired headsets. This is probably going to force me to keep my Nexus 4 and learn how to root.

More reasons to support the Elsevier boycott
Tim Gowers's excellent blog posting focused the long-standing discontent of the research community with Elsevier and nucleated a boycott which may prove to be a historic moment in scholarly publishing. I urge others to join the thousands of researchers who have signed on at the website Tyler Neylon created at thecostofknowledge.com. Recent articles in publications like Forbes and The Economist indicate that Elsevier and the rest of the business community are taking note.
The arguments Gowers laid out focus on Elsevier's high prices, their bundling arrangements and subscription agreements, and their support for new laws that seem aimed at increasing publishers' profits at the expense of wide dissemination of scholarly research. These are all very convincing reasons for the boycott. The fundamental mechanism of capitalism, that prices are contained by consumers' choices not to pay high prices for what is available elsewhere more cheaply, is augmented in this case by the fact that the consumers—researchers and their institutions—also freely donate the most crucial ingredients in Elsevier's products, that is, papers, referees, and editors.
However, there is another reason for researchers to disassociate from Elsevier, which I find even more compelling: their many lapses in ethical and quality publishing practices. Here are some examples:
The Elsevier journal Chaos, Solitons and Fractals published more than 300 papers by the journal's Editor-In-Chief (58 in a single year). That these papers were not subject to peer review was later confirmed by the EIC's declaration that "senior people are above this childish, vain practice of peer review." Although the copious self-publication had begun nearly 20 years earlier, the EIC's retirement from the journal occurred only in 2009.
Elsevier journals have repeatedly published plagiarized work and duplicate publications. A search turns up over thirty papers in Elsevier mathematics journals published in the last decade which have had to be formally retracted, mostly for these reasons. On more than one occasion, the same paper has been published in two different volumes of the same Elsevier journal (presumably by accident).
Elsevier math journals have published a number of papers that make me doubt that they were subject to any peer-review whatever. An egregious example is the 2-page paper "A computer application in mathematics" in Computers and Mathematics with Applications, vol. 59 (2010) pp. 296-297, which purports to prove the parallel postulate (!) with no formulas, no references to other published works except for two papers by the same authors, and, as best as I can tell, no meaningful content whatever. This paper remains unretracted and available for sale on the Elsevier web site.
On several occasions, entire editorial boards have collectively resigned from Elsevier, usually citing discontent with their pricing. In 1999, the entire 50 person editorial board of the Journal of Logic Programming resigned after 16 months of unsuccessful negotiations with Elsevier over pricing, and created a new journal with a different publisher. In 2003, the entire board of Journal of Algorithms did likewise. A well known-case is that of the journal Topology, whose distinguished editorial board resigned en masse in 2006, again to found a different, less expensive, journal. Elsevier has continued to publish Topology since then, even though the web page for the journal gives no indication of its editorial board or even that the journal has an editorial board!
From 2000 to 2005 Elsevier published six phony biomedical journals, with titles such as the Australasian Journal of Cardiology, in return for an undisclosed sum from a large pharmaceutical company. The journals' contents were provided by the pharmaceutical company and published without further review, mostly reporting data favorable to their products. In 2009, after the practice came to light in a law suit against the pharmaceutical company and was reported in the press, Elsevier admitted that they had "published a series of sponsored article compilation publications, on behalf of pharmaceutical clients, that were made to look like journals and lacked the proper disclosure" and expressed regret.
In 1998, the Elsevier journal Lancet published one of the most significant examples of fraudulent scientific research in recent times, in which evidence was fabricated to link autism to measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, thereby setting off a health scare that led to deaths and severe injuries and which continues to this day. Brian Deer, the award-winning investigative reporter whose articles in the Times of London and the British Medical Journal (BMJ) exposed the fraud and led to the inquiry by the UK General Medical Council which struck Wakefield from the UK medical register, also published a detailed and damning article in BMJ about the response of the Lancet editorial staff when confronted with the evidence of fraud. Deer describes how the Lancet responded to his carefully documented accusations, not with a formal investigation, but rather with a "5000 word avalanche of denials" and "a scramble to discredit my claims". Lancet's retraction of the paper did not come until 2010, 12 years after the original publication and for reasons that a British Medical Journal editorial describes as "far narrower misconduct than is now apparent."
Of course, Elsevier produces many journals. Without a doubt they publish good articles, as well as bad, and include excellent scientists in their editorial boards, as well as others. But the number and the nature of the incidents like those listed, cause me to doubt their commitment to and/or ability to achieve the quality and ethical standards that I believe crucial. There are many other publishers, including especially scholarly society publishers and university presses, but also some commercial publishers, that have earned my confidence and respect. I will happily dedicate my efforts of authorship and editorial work to them and not to Elsevier.

Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Metastasis is responsible for most cancer deaths, and tumor cell migration is an important part of the metastatic cascade. Understanding how tumor cells mobilize and invade other tissues, as well as how to modulate this behavior, is of great value to cancer biology and the development of therapeutics.
The most prevalent assay for tumor cell invasion involves modified Boyden chambers in which cells traverse a membrane coated with extracellular matrix (ECM). This approach requires cumbersome manual interventions that limit throughput and yields only limited information on the bulk population of cells that reach the other side of a thin layer of matrix.
In this article, we describe a microfluidics-based approach to patterning cells and ECM that delivers a much more detailed, physiologically relevant assessment of cell behavior and drug action. Cell migration is assayed in a true three-dimensional matrix that is more representative of the in vivo environment, and, because the assays are automatable, throughput sufficient for compound profiling can be readily achieved.
The 3-D tumor-cell invasion assay is performed in collagen-filled channels using the iuvo™ microconduit 5250 array plate from BellBrook Labs. The plate consists of 192 microchannels arrayed onto an SBS/ANSI-compatible plate (Figure 1). Each channel can be accessed through openings or ports on either end. Being only 140 microns tall, the ultrathin assay compartment is designed to allow full access by microscopes and high-content imagers. When the channel is filled with extracellular matrix such as type I collagen, and cells are deposited in the port at one end, cell migration can be observed as cells enter the matrix-filled channel area.
As shown in Figure 2, cell migration in this assay is truly 3-D, with cells distributed across the height of the channel. As expected, cell migration is inhibited by compounds such as the myosin II inhibitor blebbistatin.
In contrast to filter-based methods that rely on counts of cells that traverse an ECM-coated membrane, this type of migration assay has high information content because it allows imaging of actively invading cells in the ECM compartment during the entire assay period. Since each cell is assigned an x,y coordinate, a variety of analysis methods can be employed including those based on distributions, such as median distance traveled, as well as total number of cells migrating (Figure 3).
Analyses based on distribution and cells migrated both yield satisfactory data quality for compound profiling and screening. Because a purely antiproliferative compound would not be expected to alter the distribution of cells within the channel, distribution-based analysis is less sensitive to effects on proliferation. Furthermore, relative effects on migration vs. proliferation can be assessed by measuring the density of cells in the loading area at the end of the assay. Migration then can be normalized for any proliferation and/or cell death that might occur during the course of the assay, allowing compounds to be binned based on their inhibition of migration relative to other activities such as proliferation and cytotoxicity.
In addition to number of cells migrating and distance traveled, imaging of actively invading cells can provide clues to the mode of migration and the underlying mechanisms. For instance, with a clearly visible gap between almost all cells, the migration pattern of PC3M cells (prostatic carcinoma) in type I collagen can be identified as individual, as opposed to collective.
More detailed information on migration mechanisms or pathways can be gleaned using post-assay molecular staining of cells in the channels. Both phalloidin staining and immunocytochemistry have been employed in this way. Though we have just begun to explore these methods, the ability to apply in situ high-content analysis approaches to cells migrating in 3-D ECM is a promising avenue for delineating and targeting specific cell invasion events and pathways.

, updated November 15, 2012 at 1:00 AM
Women & Children's Hospital is expected to announce today a $5 million gift to help construct a new pediatric hospital on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
The gift is the largest personal donation in a $40 million fundraising campaign for the proposed $200 million facility, which will go up at Ellicott and High streets, across from and connected by a walkway to Buffalo General Medical Center.
In recent months, the John R. Oishei Foundation donated $10 million for the project, and the Children's Guild Foundation pledged $2 million for the neonatal intensive care unit of the hospital.
Officials plan to announce the name of the $5 million donor this afternoon and provide an update on the fundraising campaign.
Ground-breaking is expected in the spring, and completion is expected in early 2016. Women & Children's is moving from its longtime Bryant Street location in the Elmwood Village, and the new facility will be renamed the John R. Oishei Children's Hospital.
Women & Children's Hospital and Buffalo General Medical Center are operated by Kaleida Health.
Plans for the 10-floor hospital include a range of specialized pediatric services and a family resource center. A Women's Pavilion will house labor and delivery, postpartum care, the regional perinatal center for high-risk pregnancies and a women's health center for prenatal and gynecological care.
In addition, officials announced earlier this month that Kaleida Health and Roswell Park Cancer Institute will combine services they now provide in separate locations to care for young patients with cancer and blood diseases on one floor of the hospital.
The children's hospital, at the urging of its physicians, announced in 2010 its intention to move to the medical campus.
Officials have said they want a smaller, more efficient facility that better accommodates modern health care practices for women and children and that can benefit from proximity to Buffalo General Medical Center.

SALEM - Kent State University Salem nursing students put their lessons to the test Monday with a simulated multiple-injury disaster that provided them with multiple scenarios to triage and treat.
"I think it opened their eyes to the chaos that ensues and how to deal with it," Assistant Professor Karen Zapko said.
The scenario as explained by nursing Program Director Mary Lou Ferranto began with the KSU Salem dean riding a bicycle and sliding on gravel, leading to a chain reaction accident when a semi truck swerved to miss him on state Route 45 and struck a bus full of people leaving the campus. A car was also involved.

Students from every level participated in the multiple-vehicle traffic crash aftermath simulation. (Salem News photo by Mary Ann Greier)
The simulation involved a variety of injured to tend to, from a pregnant woman who went into pre-term labor, to a demented elderly woman, a seriously injured child, a driver who went into cardiac arrest, a brain-dead patient and some fatalities, both at the scene and after attempts to save them in the school's emergency department.
Ferranto said the drill involved setups for triage, obstetrics, pediatrics, critical care, trauma and geriatrics, with sophomores, juniors and seniors taking part as the caregivers, the injured and family members of the injured. They even simulated the media descending on the scene.
She said the idea is to teach them how to respond to a simulated disaster using assessment skills, critical thinking and prioritizing.
"I think they did very well. We saw a lot of good critical thinking and we saw chaos," she said, describing one situation where they saw panic when an IV was accidentally pulled out of a patient during transport to surgery.
Staccie Zilavy, a senior nursing student who served as incident commander, said it was a very good real life type situation, noting that they had never had any real life experience in a disaster. They do get practical experience in hospitals and nursing facilities as part of their training, but this was the first time for a simulated disaster.
"You can only learn so much from a book," Zilavy said. "It was not what I was expecting."
Paige Stryffeler, another senior nursing student, who acted as triage commander, said "I think it's a good experience. Stressful and chaotic, but I learned a lot."
Zapko said the purpose of the exercise was to introduce the students to what would happen in a disaster. She teaches community nursing, which involves getting out in the community and in the field. After the simulation, they planned to have a debriefing to assess their performances.
Kent State University Salem and East Liverpool Dean Stephen Nameth, Ph.D., didn't suffer a scratch during the event, which actually began after the victims were lying on the ground, but visited the treatment areas during the simulation. He praised the idea of hands-on training and praised the nursing program for what it provides to students. He said the students get practical experience "that way when they get out into the real world it's not new to them."
North Star Critical Care took part with ambulance personnel and STAT MedEvac was scheduled to land at the campus as part of the drill for the pretend transport of a pretend patient besides giving the students a chance to see the helicopter and talk to its crew.
KSU Salem offers a four-year bachelor's degree nursing program and an accelerated three-year program. To learn more, visit the school's website at www.salem.kent.edu.

The contribution the 1,000-plus Dorchester Two classified employees make to the education of local children often goes unsung and even overlooked but on April 16 district officials treated 28 of those employees like the stars they are.
A large crowd of school officials, colleagues, friends, and family members gathered at Summerville High School to honor this year's District Two Star Performers. All schools and district job sites selected a 2013 Star Performer of the Year from among their classified staff.
"We have a team concept in this district," Superintendent Joe Pye told the crowd. "From the members of the board to every other position … all of us contribute to the children's well being and that is what it takes. You have been doing wonderful work for so long and today your peers and your colleagues want everyone to know how good you are."
The program was created to showcase the outstanding caliber of classified employees who make important contributions to the smooth day-to-day operation of schools and the district.
A wide range of classified employees are eligible for the award including secretaries, custodial staff, nurses, lunchroom workers, technology support, teaching assistants and maintenance personnel. Representatives from all district schools as well as the district's maintenance department, special services, extended day program, food services, technology department and district support staff are selected by co-workers for the honor.
Pye thanked the honorees not only for the tasks they complete each week, but also for the way they represent the district.
"Each of you is a giver," he said. "You have been giving your whole life but it is really just a beginning because you are passing that baton on to other workers, to our children, to your families and friends. You are role models who show them it is important to do life's work everyway we can and the best way we can. You don't grumble or complain about it. You do it with a healthy mind and a good attitude because when you do, positive things happen."
During the 12th annual Star Performer Celebration, each honoree received an award while Public Relations Officer Pat Raynor read a tribute detailing the reasons their co-workers view them as a Star Performer.
The awards presentation was preceded by a slide show featuring candid shots of the 28 Star Performers and was followed by a reception in their honor.
The following employees were recognized as 2013 Star Performers of the Year:
Adult Education: Tonya Hall
AMS: Angela Cartin
ARHS: Debi Filomarino
BHES: Martha Leibold
DMS: Candia Mosley
ENES: Sandy Jahngen
