"At first, we felt very unwelcome. People frowned at us or made comments on our veils," Labibeh Khorshid told Agence France-Presse (AFP).
"But now, we feel overwhelmed. They are giving us clothes, food, medicine and all," said the grateful woman.
Her 10-year-old son Tamer is very happy. His eyes sparkle when he recalls the heartfelt stories told to the displaced children by two volunteer women — both Christian.
"I wish we could return this favour," Khorshid said sitting in the courtyard of a public school turned into a centre for destitute displaced people in Karm Al-Zaytun, a Christian quarter of Beirut where crucifixes stand on every corner.
She said that ever since their arrival residents of the neighbourhood have been taking in displaced children to give them warm showers at home on a daily basis.
In the school playground, an artist tried to leave a lasting mark to thank residents of the neighbourhood for their warm welcome to the southern villagers.
He wrote a magnificent Arabic calligraphy on the wall.
Even in southern Christian towns and villages which are perceived as less likely to be hit, homes, convents and schools have offered room for displaced people, mostly Shiites.
Israel launched an offensive on Lebanon after Hezbollah took prisoner two Israeli soldiers in a border raid on July 11 and said it would only free them in exchange for the release of prisoners at Israeli jails.
More than 380 people in Lebanon, the overwhelming majority are civilians, have been killed in random Israeli air strikes and bombardment that also left Lebanon hard-won infrastructure in ruins.
United in misfortune
Outside the school was a banner showing an old portrait of late president-elect Bashir Gemayel, once the leader of the Christian Lebanese Forces militia, shaking hands with his lieutenant Samir Geagea -- back when he was still wearing a fearful black beard and military fatigues.
The two men may be venerated by some Christians, but for the Shiite displaced families they are the ugly face of a militia responsible for a number of massacres during the 1975-1990 civil war which still scar the social fabric in Lebanon.
"It is a pity that only misfortune unites us," said Khorshid.
"This shows that when we the people are left to each other, we can live together in peace and harmony. It is only politics and leaders that create these rifts."
The sight is also a stark difference from events of last year, which saw Muslim-Christian tensions in the wake of the killing of emblematic ex-premier Rafiq Al-Hariri and the consequent assassinations of Christian politicians and figures.
"Last year, we were chanting nasty slogans against each other. Today, we are helping each other because we have a common enemy," said 17-year-old Hussein Ismail.
An elderly man explains the situation with an old Arab proverb: "Me and my brother against our cousin, and me and my cousin against the enemy."

MIFFLINTOWN - The celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe is a centurys-old tradition for Hispanic Catholics around the world.
Honoring a 16th century appearance of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Hispanic parishioners of St. Jude Thaddeus Church, Mifflintown, gathered last month for prayers, a procession, Mass and supper.
Commemorated around the Catholic world, but especially in Spanish-speaking countries, Dec. 12 marks three appearances outside Mexico City in 1531 to a Chicameca Indian convert named Juan Diego. The Virgin Mary asked that he request the city's bishop to build a chapel on the site of her visitation.
When Diego told the Virgin that the bishop required a sign that the appearances were true, she directed the peasant to a hilltop where roses were growing miraculously out-of-season. He gathered the roses in his tilma, a type of poncho, and carried them to the bishop.
When he dropped the roses in front of the bishop, an image of the Virgin Mary was imprinted miraculously on the tilma. The original tilma is placed above the main altar of the large shrine in Mexico City at the site of the appearances.
Festivities began with a 3 a.m. Dec. 12 gathering at St. Jude Church for prayers and hymns, welcoming the dawn of the feast day.
The 6:30 p.m. Mass in the evening was preceded with a procession from the social hall into the church carrying a replica of the original image, surrounded by flowers and blinking lights.
Adult and children parishioners dressed in colorful indigenous dress to replicate Juan Diego and the 16th century Indian people of Mexico. A dinner of traditional Hispanic foods followed in the social hall.
Juan Diego was canonized several years ago as an official Catholic saint. The Virgin Mary appears in the image as she appeared to Juan Diego, as a dark-skinned native. She spoke to him in his native language, not Spanish, the language of the conquistadors. Mexico had recently been conquered and rendered as a colony by Spain.
Cactus fiber tilmas usually deteriorate after two or three decades, but Diego's has remained firm and the image's colors vibrant, despite open-air exposure for its first 100 years of display. It is now behind sealed glass.
Scientific testing thus far has been unable to determine the nature of the actual image.
The Rev. William M. Weary is the pastor of St. Jude Thaddeus Church, Mifflintown, and Sacred Heart of Jesus Church in Lewistown.

Before a congregation of more than 1,000 family and friends at the Cross Church in her hometown of Springdale, Arkansas, Jill Duggar married Derick Dillard – and sealed their wedding vows with their very first kiss.
The wedding was a huge family affair for the bride, 23, who's the second daughter of Jim Bob, 48, and Michelle, 47, of TLC's hit reality show 19 Kids & Counting. Five of her sisters were bridesmaids, two brothers were groomsmen, her sisters and a niece served as flower girls, five brothers were ushers and a brother and nephew shared ring-bearer responsibilities.
"I'm very excited at this wedding," Jill's younger brother Jackson, 10, tells PEOPLE. "Derick is like a brother already. He tells jokes [and] he plays around with us."
Although the bride's parents were excited for her future, it didn't make the reality of her new life any easier.
"It really hit me that Jill was leaving as she was packing her bag the other night," Jim Bob tells PEOPLE. "We all realized she was really leaving. We are so glad that Derick is an answer to her prayers. It's an emotional time, but a joyful time."
Adds the bride's younger sister, Jinger, "Jill is just enjoying this time. Derick has such a tender, caring heart. I couldn't have picked a better person for my sister. We are going to miss her so much."
An emotional Dillard – who asked people at the rehearsal dinner to pray for his mother, Cathy, who is battling cancer – was overjoyed she was able to attend the wedding.
The traditional ending to the ceremony marked the couple's first kiss – a moment both Jill and Dillard were anticipating.
"I think it is safer and makes it more special to wait to kiss until your wedding day," Jill told PEOPLE when she and Dillard, 25, entered into a courtship. "To save the physical side of your marriage for your wedding day and not going further than you should – we want to have no regrets."
It was a sentiment shared by her fiancé.
"You can really get to know each other on every level without the physical part of it," Dillard told PEOPLE. "I am the most blessed man to have Jill."
The couple first met in Nepal after communicating with one another via email and Skype, and began courting. The Duggar family adheres to strong Christian beliefs, and both Duggar girls in relationships – Jill's sister Jessa, 20, is in a courtship with Ben Seewald, 19 – chose to wait to hold hands until their engagement and save their first kisses until their wedding days.
The newlyweds plan to honeymoon at an undisclosed location.

The self-proclaimed most-trusted-name-in-news network is making some shakeups. One would think shakeup meant trying their darnest to improve and become even more trusted. So why is CNN's head honcho Jeff Zucker kicking Soledad O'Brien to the curb? Even more absurd, they reportedly are going to replace her with Erin Burnett and Chris Cuomo.
Don't get me wrong, Burnett, who already hosts her own show with a nice weekly 7 p.m. time slot, is an attractive young woman whose attempt at hard-hitting, engaging programming is…well, check out her show and you decide. Can she grab and hold your interest for an hour?
I find it extremely interesting that CNN wants to throw out the toughest host they have at the network. O'Brien, who hosts the early morning "Starting Point" doesn't shy away from asking the uncomfortable questions and will call out double-talking politicians and lying pundits if she has to. Isn't that what "most trusted" should look like?
Cozying up to guests, asking the soft questions while being afraid or paid not to do real investigative journalism seems to be the par for the course these days on every network - but CNN said they were different. Of course, we knew better for some time now, despite their masquerade at being impartial and balanced.
But let's face it, the only truly impartial networks are public access television like PBS, which Mitt Romney had threatened to cut if he became president. The rest are for-profit, privately owned by only six corporations, which begs the question: Who controls the conversation in America?
O'Brien's firing does not surprise me, and I often wondered how she lasted this long. Doing shows like "Black in America: The New Promised Land -- Silicon Valley," which shone a glaring spotlight on that very white world; or the complexities of color and shades of color in "Who is Black in America?"—just to name a couple, was not the kind of fare served generally over at CNN or any of the other major networks.
When the media flashes glaring headlines, or spotlights pundits, someone somewhere has a financially vested interest in that headline and what follows. It's kind of like our politicians in Washington, who hold the country hostage with threats of sequestration, fiscal cliff shenanigans, gun control inaction or propose questionable legislation because they're beholden to their rich campaign donors, lobbyists, or their extremist supporters.
CNN firing Soledad O'Brien while still claiming to be the most trusted news newtwork around would be laughable if it wasn't terribly disheartening. It's disheartening because it appears that there isn't any credible network around anymore. They claim ratings for "Starting Point" weren't where they should be. OK, move her to the evening or during the day. See what works; don't replace her with Burnett. Is she supposed to be the hard-hitting, ratings-grabbing magnet? To reiterate, if this wasn't a sad commentary on our news and where it is heading, I would laugh out loud.
Disgraced former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer got his CNN show in a prime-time slot after his call-girl, socks-wearing, dirty-boy fetish became public, so standards over at CNN must not have been that high. They should be proud to have a journalist with O'Brien's caliber and guts.
But in their defense, if they are already the most trusted folks in news, there might not be much room for improvement.
However, CNN looks like the one on the losing end, for O'Brien doesn't want her fan base to cry for her. She recently told the Huffington Post that being fired from CNN was a "win-win" and despite her show not getting adequate promotion and support, they did a really good job.
So like BET with CNN alum T.J Holmes' show, O'Brien's did not get much marketing by her network but still was expected to bring high ratings. Then she was axed for not delivering what the network didn't help her deliver. Hmmm, I smell a set-up.
Which brings up a very important question—are certain hosts set up to fail the ratings game?

Can you define these popular missing words?
the balance between the level of attractiveness and the level of asshole-ness. In short, the hotter you are the more tolerable and common dick-like behavior is. However, there are exceptions. Specifically those who seem to have a distorted self image and think they are the shit when in reality they simply look like shit. Lower levels of attractiveness can be compensated with: good sense of humor, intelligence, or kindness. But the ratio must remain balanced.
John does not adhere to The Ratio, he's fat and ugly and yet he continues to act like a douchebag. He is upsetting the ratio and is thus disgustingly unattractive.
tamale69 tarafından 30 Mayıs 2010, Pazar
"The Ratio" is a fundamental rule of life, relating to the direct correlation between the attractivenes and assholiness of a male. With "The Ratio," degrees of attractiveness = degrees of assholiness. Men who are uglier must act nicer to attract a mate and men who are more attractive already attract them, so they act like assholes. Exceptions to "The Ratio" include men who perceive themselves to be more attractive than they actually are (these individuals usually fail to get a mate). Other exceptions include males with distorted self-images who consider themselves less attractive than they actually are, so they display kindness as well (these usually are very desirable as mates).
Man I really hate The Ratio.

In early 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, (ARRA), also referred to as the Federal Stimulus Plan or Recovery Act (the "Act"), was enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama on February 17, 2009. It is the objective of the Act to save and create three to four million jobs, primarily in the private sector over the next two years through federal spending on such programs as education, housing, transportation, health care, and renewable energy, as well as other areas, by investing in products and services that will put Americans to work, improve infrastructure and allow for enhanced or continued research.
Because of this unprecedented investment of public funds in private industry, the Act requires an environment that will foster greater accountability and transparency in the use of such funds. Transparency of covered funds is the purpose of the government's Web site, http://www.recovery.gov/. The purpose of this Web site is to ensure that such accountability is in place at the University of South Alabama.
Stimulus funds are available to the University of South Alabama from two sources:

Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 vs Apple iPad 3
So let's talk about value, since you know, consumers love things that offer a whole lot of bang for the buck. If you've been paying attention up until now, you're probably thinking that the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is well ahead of the curve in this specific aspect, since it offers things that are not available to the iPad – such as the S-Pen, an IR blaster, and some fine-tuned multitasking elements with its software. Surely, those combined features make for one compelling offer, but when you look at the bigger picture, the iPad simply has the balanced value to ensnare a wider audience.
Don't get us wrong, the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 is a remarkable slate and all, but when we think of other stellar Android tablets, it doesn't quite have the same level of appeal as its extended brethren – namely, the Google Nexus 7 or Asus Transformer Prime. Going down further past the hardware specs, the iPad ecosystem helps to liven the experience – and it's especially notable with its refined third party apps selection.
In the end, personal preference will more than likely be the decision factor in which one to choose – well, that's unless you so dearly require the precision of the Note's S-Pen.

Can you use your ipad as phone? The note can. What can 't the note 10.1 that the ipad 3 can? Nothing. But i can tell you the note 10.1 can do something that the ipad 3 cant.
1. Phone functionality to text and call.
2. S pen writing.
3. Watch so many video formats, avi, mov, mp4 and a whole lot more where in the ipad can only play mp4 and mov. So you need to do some converting of formats. So time consuming.
4. Drag and drop of files? Ipad cant. Come to think of it, it is easier to use the note 10.1
5. The ipad can only be synced with one pc via itune so u need to have a personal pc while the note 10.1, u can use anyone elses pc to be able to put songs ,movies and even windows word, excel etc
6. You can download movies and songs for free using torrent and mp3 downloaders while the ipad can't.
You can download youtube video and youtube to mp3 format with the note 10.1. Ipad can't.
Mmm what else? My wife is an apple fanatic so i know what it can't do that my android can. By the way, i have an iphone 4s which my wife gave me so im stuck with it hahhahaha i want the samsung note 2 but i dont want to hurt her feelings so im suffering with my iphone 4s lmao

Fair comparison. Putting ist simple:
- iPad for entertainment and simplicity loving mass consumers and people looking for great third-party apps, those who read and surf the web a lot
- Nexus 7 for those who want a mini tablet with an attractive price tag
- Transformer Infinity for those who simply prefer Android over iOS on a personal level and/or do a lot of movie watching
- Galaxy Note 10.1 mostly for professionals only

"Honestly, the qualities of both devices are on par to one another, but we have to give the slight advantage to the iPad – purely because it handles low lighting better."
"For starters, the iPad boasts 1080p recording, while the Galaxy Note 10.1 sticks to yesterday's 720p. Details are pretty much the selling point for the new iPad, as the Galaxy Note 10.1's production is simply too soft to accept as high definition."

The iPad actually costs less than the Asus Transformer Prime in the most basic versions.
(At least here in Europe.)
9. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
Only if you compare the 16 GB iPad version against the 32 GB ASUS Transformer version (with microSD slot for other 32 AND keyboard included).
Even then you have the ASUS transformer TF300T that cost the same as the iPad 16 GB and has also keyboard and 32 GB internal memory.
And I could start about buying the ASUS transformer prime without keyboard...
In my opinion your price comparison is waaaay off.
12. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
Still it is the basic version of the Transformer Prime, no matter the features.
You see, im Europe/German-living. Here, we cannot buy a Prime without keyboard dock. So, this is a europe-wide price comparison:
Transformer Prime starts at 540 euro.
Whereas the iPad starts at 450 euro. For 540, you can also get an 32 GB version.
The Infinity Pad is the only tablet that can compete in terms of hardware (you would not try and deny it, right?) and the software is a matter of preferance.
But, the thing is, the iPad costs less in basic configuration. The most basic configuration costs 600 euro without dock - for that price plus a few dozen euro you can also get an iPad 64 GB.
And, again: i am telling you what the situation is like in Europe, no guess what it is like in the USA.
14. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
I'm also talkig about European prices.
And yes: I would deny that the Infinity PAD is the only one that can compete in terms of hardware, as it has a LOT better hardware. The iPad 3 should be compared to the prime as much.
It's just a plain lie that in Germany you can't buy the transformer prime without the keyboard, 500 Euros for the 64 GB:
and now let's compare with the price of the iPad 3 with 32 GB, 575 Euros:
And you can also go for the transformer TF300 which is even cheaper: 400 Euros
So don't go telling than the basic iPad is cheaper when at the same specifications is much more expensive. And stop comparing the prices of the transformer WITH KEYBOARD INCLUDED to the iPad without keyboard and A LOT LESS memory.

...thanks to the statement that the new iPad should be compared to the Prime, while the Prime could never be more than equal the iPad 2 - i remember the tests on Phonearena and The Verge.
Thats something where i cannot argue with you when you dont stop to deny the facts. The Transformer Pad blows away the iPad in terms of CPU performance, the iPad does the same in terms of graphics performance. The Pad is slightly lighter, while the new iPad has the 20% better resolution and a bit better build quality (both great here). Battery life is the same. That is what i call equal.
Lets compare iPad 2 with the Infinity Pad just cause i say they are equal.
And: the Amazon prices on iPads are insane. Here one with 32 GB for 540 Euro:
061096&pva=geizhals&data=h9MIh vsD%2BQwYY576N6h6FG1o6BTw%2F4% 2F5e%2FyfjbMfAYkDmPJg5eQ5qXwZI ZTeATOKh5lirX7v6ZBuyXtHytWI%2F Bda4pcLturwB3Hxu%2FTGiRNFCZDY0 AYeGLwyVWI9BZbW90Rz7sOKip5Wikh mTeaLvMl3X9AglsizFHU%2Fk3wn59Y %3D.
Sorry for that one with the Prime keyboard - i just did not find it.
It should be compared like that: Prime vs iPad 2, Infinity vs iPad 3. Isnt that obvious?
26. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
It´s not obvious to me when the Prime offers HDMI output, usb, much better cameras and micro SD compared to the iPad 2.
And I find kind of funny you were not able to find the Asus Transformer Prime without keyboard when you can find it in the same page you were posting for just 470 Euros with 32 GB:
And the infinity with 64 GB for less than 600
It looks to me that you put a lot of effort to find the best offers for the iPads, but you don´t do the same for the other tablets. It just took me 5 minutes to find all those good prices for the ASUS transformer in the same pages you were posting.
One more thing: you call "facts" to things not everyone would agree with and there is much and more to discuss about your "facts".
27. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
And one more thing, the original discussion was about your statment (completely false as demostrated) that "The iPad actually costs less than the Asus Transformer Prime". And now you change your discurse about that you have to compare it to the Infinity? Way to go to justify the iPad prices!
34. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
If you compare an 2011 tablet with the newest iPad and dont even agree with the iPad 2 being equal of the Transformer Prime (while most experts including Phonearena rated it as good or even lower than the iPad 2) then you still cant disagree with the most basic version of the new iPad still being cheaper than the Transformer Prime.
Like you found out yourself - the most basic Prime is 479 euro. The most basic new iPad 450 euro despite being newer and much higher rated. For 479 euro you can get a 64 GB Wi-Fi iPad 2 today.
(Sorry for my poor english again. Im european.)

Let's start with your argument that Phonearena rated as good the Prime as the iPad 2:
"the Transformer Prime buys you something that's newer, stronger, and the better performer as it outclasses the iPad 2 in plenty of categories. Indeed, Asus has the advantage of being a newer tablet, rather than being a year old model like the iPad 2, but when you take everything that it offers into consideration, it's astoundingly evident that it's the superior one."
Where do you understand in that statement that the iPad 2 is equal or better if I may ask? Can you even understand english?
Quoted from phonearena itself:
First false fact: phonearena says clearly that Prime is better.
Let's check about the comparison between the Prime with the iPad 3:
"Just like two gods going at each other in the heavens, they're immortal and cannot be defeated – so yes, they stand equally to one another. Therefore, we have to settle for the fact that neither one can actually claim victory seeing that they share the same pedestal."
Second false fact: phonearena says that they are equal.
Ups, pwned again!
And as I said before: stop comparing a 16GB (equal) tablet with a 32GB one, as that confuses people who reads the comment!
The very least you should have done is to say: the iPad 3 with 16 GB cost a little less than the Prime with 32 GB...
That would have been impartial and we would not be having this discussion.
Because with the SAME INTERNAL MEMORY: the Prime is CHEAPER.
PS: don't worry about your english, not everyone is this forum has english as his mother language.

Dang!^^^^ TylerGrunter, you didn't have to go hard/pwned on Taco brother, proving him wrong on both side of the Ocean!..hahaha
43. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
Actually I just proved him wrong on one side of the Ocean, the same TheLibertine and myself are ;-)
It's just that due to my nick many people thinks I'm in the US!
Sorry if I came out as a bully, but I really hate when people lie to get their argument across.
45. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
It does cost less than the Transformer Prime, that stays unchanged. It doesnt matter what features (memory) the Prime has, it still is more expensive than the basic new iPad.
At this point it should be pointless trying to tell you that the new iPad is the best tablet - im fine with Phonearena saying it, (in this article, for example) TheVerge, CHIP, PC Magazine rating it highest. And: this highest rated tablet is actually cheaper than the Prime in starting price. There is nothing more i wanted to tell you about, as it would be pointless. You stick with Android, i am with iOS.
46. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
Telling delusional tales again?
Where in this article Phonearena that the iPad 3 is better than the Transformer Prime?
It says that both the Prime and the iPad 3 are better than the Note 10.1, that's it. So please keep your delusions for yourself or for people who don't actually read the articles themselves.
As for the other sites, please provide the links. I'm tired of smacking you whenever I look for the information you don't provide.

/Back-to-school-2012-your-guide-to-tablets_id33524#1-The-new-Apple-iPa d
2012 tablet guide by Phonearena. "The new iPad is simply the best tablet out there.
CHIP, one of Europes biggest tech magazines and the by far biggest in Germany. No surprise it rated the new iPad highest, but you know who is second? Yes, still iPad 2.
Techradar, a huge tech site. It rated the iPad highest with 4,5/5 and the verdict was: "no doubt were once again looking at the leader in the tablet race. [...] once you've gazed adoringly into the Retina Display, played any of the high-power games or watched a Full HD movie in your hands, you'll struggle to not hate any tablet that isn't the new iPad 3". Transformer Prime was allready on the market by that time. I am not denying it was also rated very high - but it was never once called the best tablet, just the best Android tablet.
The Verge. No comment - it is just the by FAR best rated tablet with 9.3. Galaxy Note 10.1 was rated 5.4, but that is just saying.
Also no further comments needed. It was called the best tablet multiple times in this review.
So, you have five huge (three out of them - PC Mag, The Verge and Techradar are the arguably most reliable outta there, i would not give that much about Phonearena and CHIP, if you ask me) saying the same thing. And still, the iPad starts at a lower price.

i'm definitely sticking with the apple especially if they released the ipad mini and perfected ios 6
18. frydaexiii (Posts: 1444; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
perfected iOS 6? What's there to perfect when there's nothing new? What would actually be funny would be if they could cocked up such a minor update.

Beside all this additional functionality....
G note will get another cool addition when JB arrives to it's pocket......
i think it's very cool addition which will blow ipad away....
Isn't it?????
24. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
Yep. Every Android innovation is the "next big thing that will blow iPad away", but two years passed and it still dominates the market with 70%.

I have had prime and sumsung took both back I Pad I just so much smother. Door sent freeze up. Apps are way better. This is just my view do not want you to get I Pad. Though I love my 64 gig. My music, my books, my games. Like I said I took the prime back it had problems and so did samsung I owned.
19. frydaexiii (Posts: 1444; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
Yeah, walls of icons, no file manager, no task manager, no easy toggles, tied to itunes, thick and heavy, back heats up just leaving it on the table. Must be living the dream.
48. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
Well, actually he OWNED both tablets and made his opinion.
As an iPad user myself: the new iPad is by no means thick or heavy (just a bit heavier and thicker than iPad 2), nor does it heat up (in ANY way), nor do i have problems with iTunes, many icons (you can group them).
54. nwright94 (unregistered)
Well, I haven't connected my iPad to the computer for iTunes once, everything's in the cloud. You need to workout more if you think it's thick and heavy, considering its still about the same thickness as the majority of tablets on the market, and where did you hear the heating up on the table? Mine only heats up when streaming videos or playing graphic intensive games, and it's about the same heat my tf300t would heat up to. You are really trying hard to troll aren't you? It's not working so well.
15. buccob (Posts: 2566; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
Phone Arena is really biased in this comparison.
Display: well yes, iPad wins...
Interface Functionality: having windows and split screen apps is the most you can get out of multitasking and productivity. Does not matter if the ipad is fast for switching. There is nothing faster than doing it at the same time.
Camera: I agree that a back camera is unnecessary in a tablet, but even thought the ipad's camera is better in low light, the Note has a LED Flash.
Battery: they are about the same. Can't you be objective? leave it at that.
So bottomline, for people who wants a better screen, aluminum and IOS get the iPad.
For those who want true multitasking features, S-Pen, and Android, get the Note...
Personally I would go for the Note.
16. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
I would put my money on Note 10.1
17. imnotascammer (Posts: 160; Member since: 22 Aug 2012)
Seriously? Why can't phonearena make a comparison thats not biased? Lol! Apple slaves. Geez!
20. whoisnetworkdood (banned) (Posts: 27; Member since: 22 Aug 2012)
I am confused as to which one is the ipad.
21. whoisnetworkdood (banned) (Posts: 27; Member since: 22 Aug 2012)
the real winner here is the nexus 7.
25. rachelsjohnas (Posts: 1; Member since: 22 Aug 2012)
Ipad is the best. No doubt about it. Samsung Note is not in level of Apple ipad. Apple's after sales service is the best service. We can't compare samsung galaxy note and Apple ipad. If you ask me then I say Apple ipad is winner.

29. RomeoJDR (Posts: 244; Member since: 09 Dec 2011)
Once again, the point has to be brought up that the Note is not the first ptoduct to bring the pen technology to a tablet. HTC, Lenova and the 10.1 Xyboard all have offered virtually the same tech for quite some time via the N-Trig pen. Someone who reviews tablets that isn't aware of the pre-existence of this feature on many other tablets looses some credibility.
42. jimjam (Posts: 257; Member since: 28 Jun 2011)
N-trig is terrible compared to wacom.
30. robocopvn (Posts: 419; Member since: 10 Mar 2010)
For me the Pad with normal tablet plus Spen, telephone, SMS functionalities and the whole android customization is the winner. TBH, how many tablets can make a call out there, they're mostly wear the Sammy logo
And it's not different between +650.000apps in IOS and +600.000 apps in PlayStore because I can find everything I want. And it's ironic how manufactorer want to push the screen resolution as a marketing hype, because my 42'' TV with Full HD (1920x1080) looks amazing at the distance of 2 meters. And 1280x800 on the 10'' tablet used on the 25-40cm distance is the same. And the new Ipad's resolution is just saturated (more than needed) one. Use it normally, most users cannot find the differences between the two. Unless if you use your tablets and put your eyes at 2 cm distance lolz

phonerarena just loves anything apple if it says its basically the same "well the ipdad/iphone has this .000001 percent better this/that." come on the ipad isn't even called the ipad genius its the "new"ipad that will burn your lap off. people just like the ipad because its a status symbol to some.smh if apple makes an entry level phone which we know they want you'll be saying it blows away the competition with the same exact specs but apple's name on it.I bet if you took apple off a product and introduced it to the masses nobody would be all hyped about it or on its cores.
33. robocopvn (Posts: 419; Member since: 10 Mar 2010)
It's true. If you are in Vietnam, my country, you will see the funny thing that many youngsters riding cheap motorbike and always try to have Iphone, Ipad with them, just to be "cool". And trust me, most of them never care about technology, or specs, or OS, or anything. It's funny :D
just 1 important thing: girls love guys who use Ipad, Iphone =DDD
32. inkhriptor (Posts: 1; Member since: 23 Aug 2012)
Well, programmers like me will definitely choose galaxy note 10.1 because of its OS. Android allows much much more customization than the IOS and that means a lot to us.

Guys can you help me out here? When I go to the store to get an iPad how do I not confuse one with a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1? I mean the tablet and packaging just look so similar! I might just confuse one with the other because I'm expected to be a dumb consumer.
67. nhosarah (Posts: 2; Member since: 21 Sep 2013)
I think each tablet has a brand name branded on itself...You won't be mistaken. The Samsung is definitely better if you're doing things like school, or work. I own both tablets.
50. okonson (Posts: 1; Member since: 27 Aug 2012)
They talk about unique Apple experience. Don't make me laugh. There is nothing more frustrating than feeling as if the item you have forked out money for does not belong to you. Unique experience comes from being able to make an item you bought your own, to personalise it and tweak it to your own style.
Who would give up his own shed for the luxury of a 5 star hotel where you can't even move the table. Apparently that is what Apple fans like.
Devils may care about retina display.
I'm only surprised that it took so long for someone to work out that a tablet as we know from Ancient Greek and Egypt was meant for writing, physically, with a pointed object.
52. nwright94 (unregistered)
I can't believe there's people trying to say the notes screen is better. Come on people, get the fanboyism out of your eyes. The note doesn't have a bad screen, but the iPads looks quite a bit better. The only tablet I've seen that matches (and passes) is the transformer infinity. It may not be as sharp but it's certainly brighter. But I don't see how you guys can honestly see the notes screen as superior. The iPad is too high resolution to make it good? I didn't think fanboys this crazy existed anymore. Give credit where it's due. Now, about the comparison, I felt it was a good one. I'd love to see Samsung push out some amazing software that the quad core and 2 GB of ram could take advantage of.
58. TechBoy (Posts: 3; Member since: 01 Sep 2012)
They are kinda overpriced. Ill just for something cheaper like the Nexus 7.
60. Mobile_CTO (Posts: 4; Member since: 25 Sep 2012)
Sooner or later, and more sooner than later, people will realize the frustration I've finally had with my iPad. It has no file system I can manipulate, and I can't download and watch videos for the simplest things like instructions on how to use something I just ordered online,
and I am locked out of other basic tasks for no reason other than this vague feeling of Apple being greedy and/or controlling what they think I should be allowed to do on my tablet. I am stuck using a handicapped version of Safari, I can't watch videos, I can't download apps from anywhere but an app store that won't allow developers to do innovative new things with:
1. My contact lists
2. My email and messaging.
3. My ability to buy music or videos.
4. My ability to browse the web.
5. My ability to set default apps for certain activities like maps, browsing, reading books.
I stare at my iPad and think, THIS SUCKS. Whatever was good about it a few years ago is so over with. Why the hell wouldn't I want a Windows 8 tablet or an Android tablet that has none of these problems? Why wouldn't I want my tablet to be more like a nice little touch screen computer that I can actually do things on? The answer is, I can't wait for my next tablet to give Apple the middle finger, just like I already did with my smartphone... I am in total blissful amazement that my Galaxy S3 LETS ME DO WHAT I WANT AND NEED TO DO, just like my iPhone could easily do if they didn't take painstaking measures to not let me own my own device. F-U- Apple, I am always on the front wave of trends so watch what happens in the next 2 years when the rest of the world catches on to your disrespect for consumers.
Bottom line: all the nice little advantages you talk about for the iPad are miniscule compared to being a chained slave that can't really do anything.
61. HäckeMáte (Posts: 168; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
Wow you should write a novel. But first actually get an iPad so you know what your talking about. Only then do you have the right to whine.
You clearly want to bash a product youve never owned.
iPad owns the market and its not out of coincidence. Go back tonyour random reboot GS3 made put of recycled car bumpers
62. ajac09 (Posts: 1481; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
now that I think about it I was thinking more of the tf300T lol
66. nhosarah (Posts: 2; Member since: 21 Sep 2013)
He said "my iPad", I think he really meant that he has owned one. So he does have the right to complain.

The Florida verdict in the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case has rightly generated agonizing discussions about race in America, a cancerous issue that we need to face honestly.
But another issue is also telling us something serious about our society: the "Stand Your Ground" law. This is the Florida law, which likely played a major role in the verdict, that a person threatened with serious harm does not have to try to avoid the harm but can respond with deadly force.
That law, enacted in Florida and a number of other states, including South Carolina, is a revolutionary reversal of hundreds of years, if not thousands, of a principle fundamental to a civilized society.
Our law has always had a self-defense rule, but it has always been combined with a duty to retreat. That is, if you are attacked or in fear from another person, you should retreat if you can reasonably avoid injury that way.
A half dozen years ago, though, the South Carolina General Assembly, joining a wave of other states, decided that the "self-defense/duty to retreat" rule, which preserved public safety for centuries, doesn't suit us well enough.
In 2006, we enacted a law specifically saying a person who is attacked in any place "where he has a right to be" has "no duty to retreat and is entitled to stand his ground." (You can't make this stuff up; those three John Wayne words — or is it John Dillinger — are right in our statute.)
The problem is that "stand your ground" can turn every chance encounter into a gunfight at the OK Corral, especially with our fervent belief in our right to carry guns everywhere. (Shopping malls? School yards and college campuses? How about the State Senate visitors' gallery?)
Take Florida. We don't really know what happened so we don't know if George Zimmerman was entitled to "stand his ground." But we do know he was following Trayvon Martin with a gun, so Trayvon Martin had a right to "stand his ground" under Florida law.
So, if Martin was beating George Zimmerman's head against the ground (we don't know if he was or not), that would just have been Martin "standing his ground."
(Question: If Martin had killed Zimmerman in the process, do we think Martin would have been acquitted?)
If you think this is far-fetched, remember that in Florida "stand your ground" has reportedly accounted for 65 deaths — not even counting Trayvon Martin — since the law was passed.
And in this state, our own Supreme Court just last year freed two killers (whose victims were not criminals or burglars).
In one case, a security guard for an apartment house ejected a drunken, unruly man, and then chose to follow the departing drunk down the street.
When the drunken man turned, cursed the guard for following him, and reached under his shirt, the guard pulled his concealed weapon out and fired three shots, killing the man he had decided to follow. (There was no weapon under the victim's shirt.)
In another case, a visitor in a home insulted a picture of the host's daughter, and was ordered to leave. He did so, but tried to come back, opened the screened porch door, and as he continued onto the porch, the host shot and killed him.
In the first case, a jury convicted the security guard of manslaughter, but our Supreme Court dismissed the entire case, saying the security guard was protected by the "stand your ground" law.
The second shooter's indictment didn't even get to trial.
The Supreme Court threw the case out, as it had thrown the first case out, saying that under South Carolina's 2006 law, a shooter in these circumstances is actually immune from the indignity of even having to go to trial.
In our Scriptures, the Book of Exodus gave us the "eye for an eye" rule.
This idea that punishment should be proportional to the injury was a reform of the previous practice of avenging any degree of injury by simply killing the offender.
The previous rule was called barbaric.
It looks like "barbaric" is back in season now.

This growing market, fueled by some incentives and rebates, has shifted the focus at AM Conservation Group, a Charleston-based supplier of weatherization, energy and water conservation products.
"AM Conservation Group has helped supply some of the largest conservation programs in the nation through strategic partnerships with utility companies, and I plan to continue on that path as well as expand the presence of our products in the retail space," said Todd Recknagel, CEO of the company.
Recknagel, 49, took over leadership of the company when founder Paul Cutler retired in 2011.
AM Conservation Group, founded in New Jersey in 1989, moved to a 27,000-square-foot industrial building on a 6-acre tract in the Charleston Regional Business Center off Clements Ferry Road in 2005.
In 2010, the company, citing expanded demand from power providers, water companies and construction businesses, expanded its footprint in the industrial park to a 50,000-square-foot operation. Also that year, Miami-based private equity firm Trivest Partners paid an undisclosed amount of money to become majority owner of AM Conservation Group.
Recknagel says the infusion of cash from Trivest helped the company grow services like programs that provide energy-saving kits for utility customers.
"We have as much capital as we need to sign up 10 utility companies tomorrow if we need," he said.
Today, AM Conservation's facility houses millions of CFL light bulbs and more than 500 other energy-reducing products from shower heads to programmable thermostats and LED lights.
In addition to its website and Amazon.com, AM Conservation's wares are sold by several merchants such as Walmart and Sears.
The company also works on large-scale projects for clients such as Marriott Hotels, Pizza Hut and municipalities such as the city of New York, in addition to 10 of the 20 top utilities in the nation.
AM Conservation employs 38 workers with the majority involved in program sales. The company contracts its product manufacturing to companies in the United States and overseas, Recknagel said.
In addition to growing brick and mortar, the company has recorded expanding sales over the years. Recknagel declined to specify sales for the privately held company, but said projections are $50 million to $100 million in sales this year, a jump from $5.5 million the company reported in 2004.
Utility player
Recknagel said helping utilities is a expanding market for AM Conservation Group since those companies want to run government-mandated energy-conservation programs in a cost-effective way.
Recknagel declined to identify all utilities served, but said market share is growing for AM Conservation.
Services include providing workers with weatherization products, such as weatherstripping and sealants, or running conservation programs and providing customers with kits. The kits are customized for each customer with items such as CFL bulbs, low-flow shower heads, pipe insulation and a conservation tip sheet.
"We've made it easy for the utilities to work with us," Recknagel said. "We solve a lot of their issues in terms of making it easy to get supplies with one-day shipping of inventory, and we can also manage the call center."
Recknagel said the programs usually are extended contracts that can involve several million dollars. That included a $12 million multiyear project to service a utility he declined to identify due to confidentiality agreement.
AM Conservation has the capacity to produce more than 20,000 energy-saving kits per day, officials said.
Conservative approach
Such programs save money for both consumers and utility suppliers, said Donald Gilligan, president of the National Association of Energy Service Companies, a trade association.
In the case of electricity, Gilligan said it's cheaper for the utilities to provide energy-saving devices than increase their capacity. "For water companies, it's different because they're trying to conserve water since there may not be a lot of it," Gilligan said. "It's increasingly expensive, and depending on the water district, they may be struggling to have enough supply, especially during peak times."
The energy-conservation programs division accounts for a sizable part of AM Conservation, but Recknagel said there's continued growth in its research and development.
He added that the company is looking to expand its offering of luxury low-flow shower heads, in addition to a storm kit that would include items like thermal blankets, crank-powered LED lights and freeze-dried food supplies.
"If you do have an outage, it will be good to have such a standard storm kit," he said.

The Professional Bull Riders kick off their 2013 season Friday at N.Y.C.'s Madison Square Garden with a whole lot of cowboy hats, chaps and swagger.
In the arena, the riders will battle it out atop the toughest bulls in the world, but here on PEOPLE.com, we're pitting them against each other. Get to know a little bit about these top 25 bull riders in the most dangerous eight seconds in sports and let us know who you think is the sexiest of them all.
Scroll through the carousel above for more photos of our top five if you're on a desktop or laptop computer.
Courtesy of PBR and Bull Stock Media
A former world champion, Marchi (nicknamed "Hollywood" for his movie-star looks) fought and scraped his way through the 2012 season, only to come up just short of another gold buckle. And his year wasn't without distractions: the Brazilian cowboy's wife, Patricia, suffered major injuries in a rodeo accident. She's since recovered, and this 30-year-old family man often gives shout-outs to his two young children on the PBR telecasts.
Luke Snyder
Snyder, 30, won readers' hearts last year when he wed Jen Manna in a rustic, romantic celebration. His bride may sum up the Missouri man's appeal best: "He was the cutest thing I'd ever seen. I couldn't get enough of that hat, that accent!" the new Mrs. Snyder told PEOPLE of first meeting her future husband. "I don't think I'd ever met a cowboy before. But I just thought he was the bee's knees."
J.B. Mauney
Newlywed and new dad Mauney, 25, made history in his sport last year after a broken hand nearly ended his season. Never one to sit out a competition, he did the nearly impossible and switched riding hands (riders use one hand to hold their bull rope while the other hand is raised in the air). PBR co-founder Ty Murray likened the move to a major league pitcher switching his throwing arm. Look for the now-healthy North Carolina cowboy to pick the toughest bulls and swing for the fences all season. "Anytime somebody tells me I can't do something," Mauney has said, "I'm gonna try everything I can to do it."
Silvano Alves
In October, Alves became the first back-to-back PBR World Champion in history. "Every bull rider dreams of winning the world championship. To do it twice is very special," says the 25-year-old Brazilian rider, who took home top honors in 2011 just after being crowned Rookie of the Year. But he's managed to stay humble amid all the records he's broken. "No one's ever done this before and I didn't think I could ever do it," he said last fall. "From when I was little I never would have dreamed I could do this."
Douglas Duncan
After growing up in a ranching family, Duncan says he's into everything about the lifestyle. "I love waking up in the morning, putting on my hat; I love everything about being a cowboy." To keep in shape, the 25-year-old Texan focuses on stretching, core work and riding – both horses and bulls. After hip surgery sidelined him last year, Duncan is hoping to crack the top ranks of the sport.
Runners up: For their classic cowboy names alone, (other than Pistol, these are all their genuine given names), we're granting these guys honorable mentions in the sexy race.
Stormy Wing: The 23-year-old Texan, ranked 17th in the world, says his parents always planned to name their child Stormy, boy or girl.
Pistol Robinson: "My dad called me Pistol, and rodeo buddies picked it up," Robinson tells PEOPLE of his longtime nickname (his given name is Caleb). "I lived a double life. Caleb went to school, and Pistol was the bull rider." He broke both legs in a wreck at last year's New York City event, but after a year of grueling rehab, Robinson is eager to compete again.
Ryan Dirteater: Thanks to his Native American heritage, this aptly named Oklahoma cowboy's nickname is "Cherokee Kid." He's currently ranked 14th going into the 2013 season.
Chase Outlaw: A rising star in the PBR, 20-year-old Outlaw's style has been likened to that of newly-retired PBR great Chris Shivers.
The Monster Energy Invitational at Madison Square Garden airs Saturday at 10 p.m. ET and Sunday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Network. View the full event and TV schedule here.

A name for a boy who is unlike anyone else. He is extremely good looking, popular, funny, intelligent, athletic, musically inclined, and will understand you completely. All he wants to do is enjoy life without stress or worry. No one can compare to a Jesse. Though he may be misunderstood by many, he is loved by those who do understand him. If you are one to be close to a Jesse, consider yourself lucky because not many are. Everyone should have the chance to get to know a Jesse. They are truly amazing.

on February 14, 2013 - 7:46 PM
BATAVIA – The Genesse County Legislature approved a resolution this week urging the State Legislature to renew three local laws that net the county more than $5 million.
An added 1 percent to the sales tax is good for $4.5 million, and earmarked for capital projects and debt reduction. Unlike the other 3 percent of the local sales tax, this money is not shared with the city, towns and villages.
A 3 percent bed tax, which last year netted $400,000, also is up for a biennial review by the state. Most of these funds go to the county Chamber of Commerce to finance tourism promotion.
The third levy, 2.5 percent on mortgages, stays with the county. Last year, this brought in $297,636.
Genesee County legislators approved the following:
• Hiring a new clinical social worker for the Mental Health Department. The agency's workload has nearly doubled since Orleans County closed its program last year and shifted patients to Batavia. The $60,000 salary is offset by Medicaid and other insurance reimbursement.
• Carrying over to the new year $750,000 the Genesee County Economic Development Center has set aside in the county's budget for a potential client. Genesee Valley Mushrooms plans a compost site in the town of Batavia. A similar carryover of $500,000 in funds set aside for a training program at the EDC's Buffalo East Technology Park in Pembroke was approved.
• A grant of $6,905 to the Genesee Orleans Arts Council to promote art and music appreciation.

There is enough evidence against Glenn Jackson to proceed to trial in county court, according to Judge Allen P. Page III, who presided over Jackson's preliminary arraignment on Thursday.
Jackson, of Jersey Shore, has been accused of killing Michael Krauser and burying his body in a crawlspace in the basement of his residence at 317 S. Lincoln Ave.
Authorities were tipped off by Jackson's neighbor, Jennifer Seltzer, who took the stand during the hearing. Seltzer testified that Jackson came to her home on March 6 with the deed to his house and some jewelry. He seemed nervous and agitated and asked her to take the items because the cops were looking for him.
Jackson allegedly confessed to Seltzer that he had buried Krauser's body beneath his home. According to Seltzer, the two men were drinking on the night of Feb. 11 when they had an argument "over a microwave, or something stupid."
The two men began to fight. At some point in the struggle, Krauser allegedly placed Jackson in a choke hold, Seltzer explained.
"He told me he grabbed Mr. Krauser's hands and broke one of his fingers - said he could feel it snap - then he hit him with an ashtray and he slumped down onto a dog bed," Seltzer testified.
"When he hit Mr. Krauser, he said it knocked him out. Then he just snapped - he said he grabbed a sword and he just stabbed him," she added.
During his arraignment before District Judge Jerry C. Lepley, Jackson confessed that he had harmed Krauser but insisted his actions were self-defense.
Seltzer said Jackson went on to explain how he had buried Krauser's body in the crawlspace in his basement.
"He said he had buried it. He said the body was starting to smell and make noises," Seltzer said.
District Attorney Eric Linhardt also called on the expertise of lead investigator Trooper Jeffery A. Villello, who testified that authorities had uncovered a fully intact body buried in the dirt, "below the surface" of Jackson's basement on March 7.
Later, a wallet found on the body and autopsy results revealed the remains were those of Krauser.
Jackson's home, which was "extremely dirty and unkempt" had a circle on the floor of the dining room where someone appeared to recently have cleaned, police said.
"It was very clear that the center of the dining room had been cleaned down to the bare boards in the floor. There was a defined circle of cleanliness. Right outside that circle, there were dog feces," Villello said.
Authorities uncovered an ashtray stand - the alleged murder weapon - from a shed that belongs to a homeless shelter in Jersey Shore. The stand had "an odor of decomposing flesh" and was covered in blood, according to testimony.
Jackson did not take the stand, and the defense chose to rest without making closing remarks.
Jackson remains incarcerated without bail on felony homicide charges.
If convicted, he could face a sentence of life in prison, or death.

Your recipients will consider themselves highly thought of when you give these best gifts under $50. When giving a gift, it's the thought that counts, so show them that you actually did think about their delight, the likelihood they'll use and enjoy the gift for a long time. JCPenney has thousands of great gifts for men, women and children, all at that sweet price point of $50—not too expensive and certainly far from cheap. A well-chosen gift tells the recipient that you cared enough to think through a purchase with them in mind. And while giving a gift card lets them choose their gift for themselves, it also completely removes the thought from the gift-giving and opens itself up to being rather impersonal.
With literally hundreds of gifts under $50 available at JCPenney, you'll experience no shortage of routes to take toward picking that perfect gift. For men and women, there's clothing, shoes and accessories like belts, purses, personalized tie bars and wallets, but you really have to know your recipient's taste in order to hit a home run when giving a gift from these departments. Sometimes, practicality takes a front seat, and gifts like vacuum cleaners, coffee makers and comforter sets are welcome deviations to thoughtless gifts like cash and gift cards. If you're trying to pick a housewarming or wedding gift—and there's no registry to pull from—JCPenney has a wide selection of home, bed and bath gifts to choose from, like decorative throw pillows, cheese serving board and spreaders, monogram bath towels and more.
For kids, it might be more fun for them to run around and get all the things they wanted, up to a fifty dollar limit, but if you're choosey, we have a huge selection of toys, tech, electronics, board games and remote control cars that we know they'll love. You'll be hearing "Exactly what I wanted!" more times than you can count, when you purchase from our collection of best gifts for friends, spouses, coworkers and kids.

When the District 6 Class AA Duals pairings came out last week, Cambria Heights was the No. 8 seed and was scheduled to wrestle top-seeded Mount Union on Wednesday.
That's when it got messy.
Cambria Heights coach Mike Eckenrode was informed that his team had qualified at noon on Friday, at the Thomas Subaru Tournament, but Eckenrode chose to opt out of the Duals. Don Hosterman, the wrestling contact for District 6, and District 6 chairman Ray Wotkowski said the call from Heights came at 2:30 Friday afternoon.
Claysburg-Kimmel was ranked ninth in the point standings. Initially, C-K did slide into that No. 8 spot and was even in the brackets on the District 6 web site. That meant, the Bulldogs would face off with Mount Union. The Bulldogs gave the unbeaten Trojans their closest battle this season, losing 39-32 on Dec. 27.
"We don't stand a snowball's chance against Mount Union," Heights coach Mike Eckenrode said. "Claysburg has the best chance to beat them, and they would be wrestling them if [C-K] hadn't lost three matches after a controversial call at the Richland Duals."
Eckenrode was, of course, referring to the Blairsville match at Richland, when Dylan Weyant was disqualified for biting Bobby Thompson. C-K lost three team points in the match and Blairsville won, 37-36. Weyant, under PIAA rules, was forced to sit out Saturday's action. C-K lost to Huntingdon, 44-27, and West Branch, 39-31, on Saturday.
When Eckenrode made his choice, rumors began to float that C-K coach Dave Marko somehow influenced Eckenrode into dropping out of the Duals.
"I was getting calls from all kinds of people, and one of them was a coach," said Hosterman, who was not at the Thomas Tournament. "We heard rumors [C-K] was doing this."
Hosterman wouldn't reveal who the coach was that he got the call from.
As a result of the supposed rumors and also the timing of the decision to not wrestle, which I'll get into later, C-K wasn't allowed to be the No. 8 team, and Heights will wrestle Mount Union.
Both Marko and Eckenrode vehemently deny that Marko influenced Eckenrode's decision.
"That was [expletive]," Eckenrode said. "The only person I talked about it with before I made the decision was [Penn Cambria's] Todd Niebauer. Dave Marko didn't influence me at all. I talked to him after I made the decision, and I told him 'You guys deserve another shot at Mount Union.' "
"I find it completely ridiculous," Marko said. "We were prepared to move on. I only looked at possible avenues after Cambria Heights wanted out. I don't believe I've been accused of this. I felt I did everything right."
Niebauer also denied Marko's involvement.
"Mike did come to me, and, contrary to what some believe, it was all coming from [Eckenrode] and concern for his kids. We talked and I said I would want my kids in [the Duals] to have that experience no matter what, but it was his call. I have known Mike Eckenrode all of my life, and he is one of the highest character guys that I know.
"I was right in the middle of things from the beginning, and I can tell you 100 percent that [decision] came right from Mike Eckenrode, not anyone else."
The sad thing about this is that the rumors were believed, and decisions were made based on rumors. Neither Hosterman nor Wotkowski talked to Marko about whether the rumors were true.
"I only talk to administrators," Hosterman said. "I talked to athletic directors. I don't talk to coaches."
"Because I've been a principal for 26 years [at Forest Hills], I know that communication goes both ways," Wotkowski said. "If a decision has been made, they know where the answers are."
The District 6 officials also objected to the timing of the decision, even though the call was made to them 2 1/2 hours after Heights was notified of making the Duals. They say Heights should have notified them of their decision before the deadline, which was Thursday night.
It says here, what's the difference whether the decision was made to pull out Thursday night or Friday afternoon? We're just talking about hours here. If the district really wants the best teams in the field, who cares about a couple hours?
Seventh-seeded Moshannon Valley wrestles at second-seeded West Branch tonight. Wednesday, fourth-seeded Huntingdon hosts fifth-seeded Richland, and third-seeded Blairsville hosts sixth-seeded Juniata. The top four teams in each class wrestle Saturday in Tyrone.
District 6 doesn't have a rule about teams deciding not to enter the Duals. Wotkowski said there is a meeting on Wednesday to discuss that. Barn doors and horses come to mind for some reason.
Many teams have opted out of the Duals in the past, including Altoona in the early years of the event, Glendale, which was the most recent three years ago, and Marion Center, also in the early years. District 6 officials accepted those decisions in the past and just slid the next team up in the standings.
"I am not very happy that the rules where changed in the middle of the game here," said Niebauer, a former president of the District 6 Coaches Association.
"I don't care what teams were involved. In 2009, Glendale opted out later in the day on that Friday and we slid up from eighth to seventh, and the ninth seed moved up. There was no difference here at all. A team did not want in for their own reasons, and that is their right."

Ok, I'm angry. ĀI just found out that one of my daughter's best friends mom has been driving my daughter home after school choir practice for about 3 weeks now. Ā
Yes, I let my 9 year old walk the 1/4 mile from school 2x a week with numerous other girls in our neighborhood who are also in the school choir.Ā
Anyway, her friend's mom saw her after choir and offered a ride home without checking with me first. ĀAnd DD never mentioned she was getting a ride home, it took her the expected time to get there.Ā
I only found out because we were arranging for her DD to come over one day after choir because she had to go to a Dr's appointment and I asked her if it was ok that they walk since that is what I thought my DD was doing. ĀShe said she knew, since she's been driving my DD home, she was sure I would not mind. ĀI didn't know what to say.
I am angry at the mom for not checking with me first - if my child was late for any reason, I would be checking her walking route first, not expecting her going a alternate way by car. ĀPlus the whole, what if you were in an accident and I didn't know you had my child possibility.
I am angry at my child for not having the other parent give me a call first or even say anything about it for 3 wks. ĀShe's attended a coupole abduction & safety courses warning her about this tactic and we've discussed it as a family.Ā
I am angry at my DH for telling me to "let it go" since "I would have said yes anyway, so what's the big deal, I know now." ĀPlus he's reminding me that we are still trying to make more friends here and I shouldn't offend the few we have.
So set me straight DT, am I over reacting, should I say something, who can I be mad at. Ā(Vent over)
I'll be checking back in - gotta do homework supervision now.
