Medical residents: What do you think of OSHA considering restrictions to the 24-hour work shifts, 80-hour work weeks now used in doctor-training?
The issue of whether medical residents toil too long on hospital shifts has been a hot topic off and on over the last decade.
Interest is building again after the country¹s largest resident union and a coalition of safety advocates persuaded the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to consider adopting regulations to reduce the 24-hour work shifts and 80-hour work weeks allowed under current accreditation standards.
What do you think about that? My colleague Miles Moffeit would like to know.
If you are a resident, or have recently completed your medical residency, please send him your thoughts about the push for stricter work hours, your concerns and your experiences, good or bad.
You can reach him at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 214 977-8368.

My girls love this game! Review by CINDY
Price Value Quality
We have had this game for quite a few years and it is still a favourite. It is also a great game for that stage when the little ones have trouble losing, even if you aren't against games with a clear winner. :) The kids have fun working together to an end. It is great quality and will stand up to many years' use and I would recommend it for any family! (Posted on 1/4/11)Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!

Anatomy of American Alcohol Consumption
Americans are drinking less beer, but more wine and spirits, according to data from Euromonitor International.
The trend, according to the research firm's senior alcoholic drinks analyst Spiros Malandrakis, has to do with story as much as substance. Big beer companies have remained pretty complacent in flavor and instead have focused on predictable advertising and discounts to boost sales, he said. (Craft beer, a sector that is known for its innovation in beer's flavor, has seen huge growth but only makes up 8% of the total beer market.)
The same old thing isn't doing it for millennials, who are looking for innovation in taste as well as a compelling backstory, Mr. Malandrakis says. Mr. Malandrakis sees innovation in flavored vodkas, but even more successfully in the marketing of Irish Whiskey and American Bourbon. "Spirits managed to capture the zeitgeist much better, using prohibition-inspired themes and pop culture," he said.
Craft beers, spirits and, to an extent, wine have also managed to capitalize on local movements, in which people want to know where ingredients are coming from and how they're prepared. Mr. Malandrakis dismisses the idea that the drop in big beer sales has anything to do with calories: "Real people don't go out drinking to get thin," he said. "They do it for indulgence."
Americans on average still drink more servings of beer than other beverages but they drink a fair amount of spirits and wine as well. The data show that Americans drink on average nearly 500 alcoholic beverages a year or about 10 a week. The number of drinks is mostly consistent over the past two decades, with a spike in drinking during the recession.

Dave Barron receives hugs and handshakes Tuesday as he is congratulated for being elected as Judge of Mifflin County Court of Common Pleas at the Mifflin County Courthouse in?Lewistown.
Barron will be the only full-time judge for Mifflin County for at least the next two years, when there may be a special election to replace the recently retired Judge Rick Williams, who will continue to serve the county on a temporary basis as a returning senior judge.
Barron has been an assistant district attorney for almost two years, he has more than 20 years of legal experience he brings with him to the bench.
"I thank the voters of Mifflin County for putting their faith and confidence in my ability to serve in this vital role in our judicial system. I will work my hardest to live up to the honor you have given me," Barron said.
Barron said he would like to thank Searer for his many years of dedicated service and for conducting a spirited campaign.
"I wish him well in the years to come and thank him again for his service," he added.
Barron also thanked those who helped with the campaign and his family for standing by him.
Searer thanked those who took the opportunity to come out and vote and the poll workers.
Searer said he was proud of the campaign he ran.
Barron will be sworn in as judge in January.

You don't need years of yoga to try new and exciting positions with an Adam & Eve sex swing. Long considered the ultimate toy for couples, sex swings are a great way to explore your wild side.
Swings provide support and flexibility, allowing you and your partner to spice up old favorites or explore more challenging positions with comfort. Perfect for a variety of positions, sex swings feature stirrups and handles to allow you to change angles quickly.
If you're not quite ready to install a full-fledged sex swing in your home, try a sex sling instead. Sex slings are position aids that can be thrown over your shoulders or a door and used to support your partner during sex. They use leverage to lift your legs and hips higher, all hands free and designed to reduce strain.
Great for partners with height differences, those with mobility issues, and anyone who wants to experience weightless sex, sex swings are an exciting addition to any bedroom repertoire.

Last Thursday, I prepared an entry for this blog. It was a happy one, all about the amazing and often amusing Christmas pageants I have seen. But after the terrible events of last Friday morning, I knew I could not use it. My heart wasn't in it.
Many people are asking, "Why, God? Why did you let these dear little children and their teachers die? Why didn't you fix the mind of that shooter? Why didn't you intervene and stop him? You could have, God, you could have. You have the power."
Well, I don't know the answer. Yes, on an intellectual level, I can say that it is a profound mystery. But that is a pretty hollow explanation. It won't make anyone feel any less heartbroken, any less angry, any less frustrated and helpless at the sight of such suffering. It won't mend the hearts of the families and friends left to live out their lives without those they loved so much and who loved them.
What I can do is refer you to a "Prayer for Newtown" that Father Jim Martin, SJ, of America published on the magazine's blog, "In All Things." I have looked at it many times since last Friday. I hope it helps a little.
Father Martin has just published another article, one that all people who describe themselves pro-life should read and act on. The title speaks for itself, "Gun Control is a Pro-Life Issue." This article won't make you comfortable. It's not meant to.

The Stetson women's basketball team will go for its second win in a row on Saturday afternoon as the Hatters host ETSU in an Atlantic Sun Conference tilt at the Edmunds Center. Tip-off is scheduled for 1 p.m. in a game broadcast live on WSBB and HatterVision.
A strong second half surge lifted the Hatters (9-5, 1-1 A-Sun) to a 78-64 win over USC Upstate on Thursday. Sasha Sims led five players in double figures with 24 points, while Brianti Saunders added 14 points and nine rebounds.
The Buccaneers (5-9, 1-2), meanwhile, dropped a 73-58 decision at Florida Gulf Coast. Brianna McQueen scored 13 points in 39 minutes to lead ETSU.
Stetson won all three meetings vs. ETSU last year, including a 66-55 victory in the A-Sun tournament quarterfinals.
"They are a much improved team," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said about ETSU. "Brittany (Ezell) is their new coach and does a really good job. She has them playing very, very well. It's always a tough game because they do rebound well, and she has them running the right stuff. We are going to have to play well and take care of the home floor."
Fans can listen to the game on WSBB, AM1230 New Smyrna Beach, AM1490 DeLand, and online at myam1230.com. Live stats, the Stetson women's basketball twitter feed, and the Hat-Alerts text messaging service will also provide in-game updates.
Of Note: Sasha Sims is tied for the league lead in scoring (18.4 ppg) and is 20 points shy of 1400 for her career.

Where have all the books gone?
That variation on Pete Seeger's "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?" recently bloomed in this Calhoun Street Main Branch regular's wandering mind.
So did this question — its own protest song of sorts:
How can reducing the number of books in a library make it a better library?
Doug Henderson, executive director of the Charleston County Public Library, offered a spirited — and even somewhat persuasive — answer Wednesday.
He told me the major book-winnowing process conducted last year was long overdue. He warned that "libraries are only as relevant as the materials they have in them." He said it didn't make sense to keep books that haven't been checked out in years.
He pitched the need for a November 2014 Charleston County referendum that would give voters a chance to say yes — or no — to funding library-system upgrades. The library board is on board with that effort. County Council is considering adding the question to the ballot — though the wording, including the price tag, is a work in progress.
So is the evolution of what a public library will be in the future. And that's not what it has been in the past. This transformation stirs debate far beyond Calhoun Street.
Henderson pointed out that the county system's circulation of all materials, including books, DVDs and CDs, was up 8 percent last year. He stressed that some old books removed were physically "crumbling." He posed this challenge: "Who wants a 1990 travel book on Paris?"
Then again, who wants the empty feeling many of us old-timers get when we see wide-open spaces in the Main Branch — including glaring vacancies on the shelves?
Caught in the Net
Henderson plans for some of the now-available floor space to be filled by up to 500 new computers throughout the system's 16 libraries. He cited last year's impressive cyber numbers — more than 440,000 Internet sessions on the library's computers and more than 220,000 on patrons' computers via the library's Wi-Fi access.
He touted expanding e-books offerings. And he hopes to close some old libraries while building new ones in or near the old Pinehaven Shopping Center in North Charleston, Carolina Park in northern Mount Pleasant and the St. Paul-Hollywood area.
He also hailed the library's advances on the "pre-literacy" front — including a "Babygarten" and "story rooms."
That sounds sweetly familiar to this Charleston native, who enjoyed 1950s "Story Time" at the little old library on Rutledge Avenue. After squeezing into that small section of a big house, the Main Branch that opened on King Street in 1960 looked immense.
On Wednesday, that derelict King Street library, replaced by the Calhoun Street edifice in 1998, looked much the worse for wear: Demolition work recently began on the quaint architectural, er, curiosity.
OK, so experts have long condemned that building, with its notorious pink marble facade, as an aesthetic mess.
Hey, you'll miss it when it's gone — especially when that nine-story hotel goes up on the same site, casting shadows literal and figurative on Marion Square.
Enlightening nostalgia
Back to fond recollections:
This local felt a fifth-grade thrill at the grand April 1964 opening of the South Windermere branch, a short walk from my boyhood home. Back then that library looked large.
These days, it looks tiny.
Back to that King Street pink palace: Remember its space-age gizmos that lit up and made a humming noise while checking out your books?
OK, so libraries — and even newspapers —must change with the times. But before despairing over the demise of the library as we knew it, read between these reassuring lines:
The Charleston County Public Library Bookmobile keeps on rolling.
Henderson: "We still do all that stuff. We haven't gotten lost in the digital world."
And we still can find plenty of books — just not as many as before — in the Calhoun Street library.

I love the changing seasons in Pennsylvania. Not just the summer greenery morphing into the autumnal beauty of reds, oranges and yellows, nor the fall colors fading into snow-covered forests and fields, but also the gradual move from the crisp fall air and moonlit nights over the gridiron for football to the soft glow of muggy gymnasiums for basketball and wrestling seasons.
But as the holiday season hits high gear this week with Santa coming to town, and Black Friday sales now starting on Thursday, it's important to take a few moments to recognize our blessings and give thanks for our faith, our health, our families and friends, and for the things that bring joy to our livesincluding sportsespecially football.
Thanksgiving just wouldn't be Thanksgiving without football. For high school teams still alive in the playoffs, it's a special reason to give thanks, and a chance to get up early in the morning for a holiday practice before sitting down to turkey dinner and NFL football on TV.
An NFL holiday triple-header is on tap this Thursday, featuring the traditional marquis games for both Detroit and Dallas, and a special edition of "Sunday Night Football" on NBC (Funny, it's actually listed as Sunday Night Football in the TV Guide, guaranteeing that Faith Hill will make a pre-game appearance).
Thanksgiving NFL games date back to 1920, with too many memorable moments and great performances to count. But an enduring NFL holiday image for me is the mutant multi-legged turkey that John Madden used to award to Thanksgiving Day game MVPs.
Of course, after the visit-with-family-stuff-your-face-watch-football-fall-asleep holiday comes Black Friday, complete with its own unique set of competitions, if not exactly sports.
There's the early morning sprint to the mall or department store, the strategic pursuit of a good parking space, the shopping cart obstacle courses, and the quest for the day's best bargains.
Friday evening and Saturday afternoon offer high school football playoffs sure to offer big crowds and great excitement. For teams like the Bellwood-Antis Blue Devils, post-season success is expected, and the playoffs another line on the to-do list. The Lions of Chestnut Ridge, still celebrating their program's first district football title, are heading into uncharted territory, inter-district play. Both will be worth watching.
Senior ceremonies highlight Saturday at Penn State for a class that has endured hardships they could never have imagined; they have worn the uniforms well and should be proud; these Nittany Lions deserve more than their names on their backs, they deserve a bowl game.
The Pitt Panthers are at home for the last time this season against Rutgers; it's hard not to think of what a difference a few plays at now No. 1 Notre Dame would have made. Pitt and Penn State fans can be thankful for the rivalry renewed in 2016.
By Christmas, the sound of hitting helmets and marching bands will be replaced by squeaky sneakers on hardwood floors and wrestling whistles amid holiday tournaments.
But until then, we'll enjoy the clock ticking down on local football, and hopefully a Happy Thanksgiving for all.

Area residents may have done a double take this week at the sight of antique cars making their way around town. Members of the Veteran Motor Car Club of America have been staying at the Tiffin Hampton Inn and driving their historic automobiles to points of interest in the area.
Based in Massachusetts, VMCCA is dedicated to the preservation of historically significant "veteran" vehicles. The group is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year.
Club president Mike Werckle of Caledonia, Ill., said about 50 cars and more than 100 people are participating in the Ohio excursion.
Article Photos
Ken Cvikota is at the wheel of this 1942 burgundy Buick. He trailered the car to Ohio from Onalaska, Wis.
Orange wheels accent this 1929 Graham-Paige.
Michael Romano of Rosetto, Pa., shows off the scalloped hubcap designs he restored on his 1936 Dodge.
Werckle himself is driving a 1955 Austin British taxi for this part of the club's National Heritage Tour of all the presidential sites in the United States. The week-long tours are spread out over the summer months.
"We do no more than two (presidents) at a time," Werckle said.
The "Tempest and a Teapot" segment in Ohio included a stop in Bucyrus on Monday to visit the Copper Kettle and the city's speakeasy. Tuesday's route ran to Marion to see the Harding Home and Museum, Union Square and the Popcorn Museum.
The first to return to Tiffin Tuesday was Michael Romano of Rosetto, Pa., who had driven to Marion with the top down on his 1936 Dodge. The retired elementary school principal pointed out the running boards, explaining how the treads were affixed to the steel decks. On the interior, Romano had removed the doors' linings to repair missing stitches by running upholstery thread through the original holes.
"I've had this seven years and I just love touring with it," Romano said. "I like to tour, but the car I had had mechanical brakes a '28 Chevy - and it was a four-cylinder. People were always waiting for me, and the brakes weren't always that good. So I decided I wanted to find a touring car."
Romano said he also owns a 1915 REO. Its name arose from the initials of Ransom Eli Olds, for whom the Oldsmobile also was named. A magazine ad for the Dodge attracted Romano's attention, especially because the seller only lived about 30 miles from him. After the winter weather started, Romano called about the car, hoping the price had dropped a bit. He said he "fell in love" and bought it right away.
"I do all the mechanical work except for the engine, because you need special tools and bearings. I'll take the engine out and send it away. I do everything else," Romano said.
He said he was especially proud of the wheels. When he obtained the car, all the wheel covers were painted black. Romano used lacquer thinner to remove the top layer of paint and reveal a cream-colored design around the edge of each hubcap. He crafted a template of the scalloped pattern and used it to repaint the border.
Next, he restored a pair of pinstripes with a special tool called a Beugler Striper.
"The paint comes out of this little bottle onto a wheel, so ... I took the (car) wheel and made a plate for it so it would spin. Then I made an arm for the Beugler. I spun the wheel and brought the arm down. That's how I got it done. It's amazing they did these things by hand," Romano said.
His restoration efforts were rewarded when the Dodge became a VMCCA Senior Award Winner in 2009.
What Romano likes best about the car is its touring features. It can carry five people and has a trunk for luggage. The six-cylinder engine can travel at 55 miles per hour. Also, the car's hydraulic brakes are more dependable and easier to operate than their mechanical counterparts.
"And its a convertible," Romano said. "And there's a heater in it. If it's cold in the morning, you turn on the heater. By afternoon, you can put the top down."
Also touring with VMCCA were Mike and Mary Johnston. They had driven their antique car from Oxford, Mich., about 150 miles away. With beautiful weather on the first two days, they were hoping it would hold for Wednesday's leg in Sandusky. The couple lived in Sandusky for about two years in the 1980s and wanted to see their former home.
"The last time we went up (Rt.) 250, coming into town from the south side, it was 'Wow! Has that changed!' We didn't even recognize it," Mike said.
They bought their vehicle about 12 years ago. Mike said he did some of the painting and most of the mechanical work to get it in shape for the road. The Johnstons have taken it on numerous tours, including two in Texas. They were glad to leave the trailer at home and just drive the car for this week's tour.
"It's a 1940 Ford Deluxe convertible, or as they like to say, 'the Luxe,' in the old movies," Mike said. "She's the owner, I'm the mechanic and the driver."
Getting parts for older vehicles has not been a problem. He said club members often have Ford parts for sale and a number of companies have reproduced parts available.
"Basically, if you've got the money and you're looking for something, you can probably find it," Mike said.
On the trip to Marion, the couple missed out on some of the stops because they were helping another driver having car trouble, but they did get to see the Harding Museum with a knowledgeable tour guide.
"The Harding Museum is one of my favorite places. We kind of had a private group," Mary said. "We're looking forward to going back to Sandusky driving across the causeway. We're hoping it won't be raining, because it's such a beautiful drive in a convertible."
The travelers also were to visit Marblehead Wednesday. Today's itinerary includes the Clyde Muesum and McPherson Home and the Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont. Friday, the tour moves to Toledo to see Fort Meigs and the Islamic Center.

ALBANY – The Thruway Authority has again postponed a board meeting where it was expected approve its controversial toll hike.
The Thruway board was scheduled to meet this morning to take up as much as a 45 percent increase on trucks along its 570-miles – a move that business groups have labeled a $90 million tax increase that would be passed along to consumers.
But the board, on the agency's web site this morning, has a posted a note saying the meeting is postponed. It gave no date for a rescheduled meeting.
The board was to have raised the tolls last Friday in a meeting at a downstate location. That meeting was put off just two hours before its start – and staff and board members had already traveled to locations to attend the distant meeting from the agency's Albany headquarters.
Today's meeting was scheduled to be in Albany – a rarity for the board under the Cuomo administration. Board meetings have almost all occurred in a New York City office at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
In a lack of transparency compared to many other state agencies, the Thruway last week and again this week declined to make public the agenda in advance of the now-scuttled meetings.
Business groups have been waging a fierce, last-minute lobbying bid to get the agency to consider other options – such as cutting costs by unloading non-Thruway expenses, like the state's money-losing canal system .
Thruway officials in the past blamed the toll hike's need on fiscal mismanagement of prior gubernatorial administrations that ran the agency. They also say the revenues are needed to show Wall Street rating agencies it is financial viable in advance of future borrowings expected to build a new $5 billion bridge Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants constructed downstate.

Samsung Galaxy S4 vs HTC One
0. phoneArena 26 Mar 2013, 06:51 posted on
This is it, the most epic Android face-off for the first half of 2013. The Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One are coming out at about the same time to go ahead and have it out with one another. When the Galaxy S4 and One are in the same room, there sure ain't much love in the air, which is going to make this fight all the more interesting. Which side will you take? Wait till you've read our comparison!...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

I prefer the htc one !

hahaha the comparison and the rcently held blind comparison says otherwise :)
171. asteala8 (Posts: 17; Member since: 26 Mar 2013)
Are you daft? The blind comparison clearly showed the only one better is the iphone... htc failed miserably in the blind test.
174. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
ddnt u undrstand my comment?
"says otherwise"
12. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
I like both!
33. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Agreed. May be controversial, but I don't think the GS4 looks bad next to HTC's beauty at all. Roughly the same size and curves, more screen, less premium feel, probably different in the hand but neither can be knocked for the looks, the question is built quality.
Time for a drop test! :)
41. jinxed (Posts: 107; Member since: 10 Jan 2013)
drop test?? y u use ur phone to play yo yo?!
123. AnTuTu (Posts: 1580; Member since: 14 Oct 2012)
I would say both of them are great smartphones ever in the history so far.
I would pick S4 on HTC only because of its software features and support here. But would definitely buy HTC One if I get some extra cash.
Hats off to you HTC and Samsung for these devices. Thanks

Biast PA trying their best do make HTC's camera look horrid :S
136. SleepingOz (unregistered)
First, it's "biasED" and no they're not..
GSMArena came to the same conlusion!
Guess which one won the battle.. =3
142. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
even in low-light conditions, samsung did a great job on optimizing Sony's exmor sensor
htc one got the loud sounds, but s4 handles the noise better..
PA said htc one's display is superior than gslaxy s4, gsmarena says otherwise, galaxy s4 has better viewing angles accdg to gsmarena..
yesterday im not sure if iLL pick s4 or htc One..
today im desperate to have the s4 :D i really really want it!!!!
153. SleepingOz (unregistered)
GSMArena actually did a more detailed test, so you can't go wrong with their conclusions.
242. Samsungadroidrules (Posts: 104; Member since: 28 Jul 2013)
Yeah i find this one Biased too. Many reviews and tech sites find GS4 Better and Advanced than HTC ONE. Even in real life, many people loves GS4 even those who has HTC ONE.
13. abdane (Posts: 494; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
Galaxy S4, Definitely !
19. lovenyc8 (Posts: 164; Member since: 13 Mar 2013)
21. MrJerry (Posts: 403; Member since: 05 Oct 2012)
and I prefer GS4 :-)
38. MrJerry (Posts: 403; Member since: 05 Oct 2012)
And you know what?
GS4 will be even better than this by finalizing its software in a month...
And the true GS4 version with Octacore Cpu + PowerVR SGX 544MP3 GPU is coming soon..
232. smutty.puppet (Posts: 24; Member since: 24 Apr 2013)
what about the s4 most prominent feature, S Lag? you didn't know about octa-core problems?!!
234. yadu004 (Posts: 72; Member since: 26 Apr 2013)
it has been rectified in the software patch (have been the user of the exynos version).

34. sergiobr (Posts: 709; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
Galaxy S4 with 60fps !
77. xvasek (Posts: 7; Member since: 26 Mar 2013)
Unfortunately no. Look to Androidauthority...
Know anyone if is HTC ONE able record 1080p 60 fps?
147. TempUse (Posts: 5; Member since: 21 Mar 2013)
Samsung fanboys believe even 90 fps on S4. what a pity!
40. cmatej000 (Posts: 13; Member since: 22 Jan 2013)
I would choose HTC design packed with S4 inside :D
42. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
guys dont fight, i want both even thou im a samsung fan because they really made big in android with s2, s3 and notes that pushed hardware & software limits and wowed us and thats why Sony, HTC, LG & others are now doing their best to come with the best devices around.. stop the hate,
let's wait for other review sites,,
my dream device>
a polycarbonate body. but more on htc one X style for back, front>galaxy s4 style.. dont want aluminum and glass, they had the most undesirable disadvantages..
Xperia UI with the polished features of HTC One and all Touchwiz Features and everything abt Galaxy software..
Boomsound but make the speaker grills smaller so the phone wont b tall
camera>galaxy but if possible pureview :D
replcble battry, microSD
software support>samsung

71. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)

i respect to sami fans but i think one is most solid and best package speceially with great design and bady material..
ONE in Top .
93. SleepingOz (unregistered)
"bady material"
hell yeah!
243. Samsungadroidrules (Posts: 104; Member since: 28 Jul 2013)
Hahaha Nice one SleepingOz. You nailed it. GS4 Winnns!
73. amiroo (Posts: 269; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
thats why one`s camera is best..

check it.
95. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
lots of noise oon htc One, hoping it will be resolved with the update
78. LonghornTech (Posts: 50; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
Theyre both great but I prefer the One.
80. LonghornTech (Posts: 50; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
Based on that comparison the One is better in nearly every aspect. It's like a grown up Galaxy S IV. The only thing the Samsung definitively won was the camera comparison, but I know very few people who would buy one phone over the other for a negligible improvement in image quality.
116. p5yb0rg (unregistered)
I prefer neither.. The One's camera is questionable while the S4 lacks the premium build quality and dull UI.. I suggest holding on to your money until Nexus 5 or Motorola X Phone. Patience guys :)
141. BitterTruth (unregistered)
S4 internals + HTC One's body (including the boom sound) !
168. chocolaking (Posts: 494; Member since: 22 May 2012)
Winner should be HTC One. But this kind of comparison never happens in Phonearena.
HTC one clearly win over the S3s.
2. HASHTAG (unregistered)
It's nice that the S4 is about the same size as the One, but w/ the bigger screen. I'm still stuck on which phone to get; IMO the S4 has the better software while the One has a great design.
50. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
I would say demo both devices at a store before you make your final judgement. Both have their pros and cons, so that's something you'll have to heavily think about.
87. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
The HTC One design flaws are coming in right on time. Look at the gap issue mentioned. Horrible.
215. chocolaking (Posts: 494; Member since: 22 May 2012)
Yeah, It's the ppl like you made up the gap,
Squeeze the phone real hard and stuch papers in it.
Read the fking news! dmub a s s

Pentile oversaturated dimm display vs SLCD3
Cartoony touchwiz vs Sense 5
Flexible, flimsy, shinny, fingerprint manget, thin, slippery, faux textured "hypergalze back" vs Unibody alumium
Tiny speaker and average sound recording capabilities vs Front facing "boomsound" stereo speakers and HDR Sound
Choice is yours...
8. sheik (Posts: 249; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
Yeah sure...
Ability to hover over the screen to preview vs nil
13 MP sony exmos camera vs 4 MP poor day light capturing camera
android 4.2.2 vs 4.1.2
power saving A7 processors vs nil
durable decent plastic vs scratch prone aluminum
smart eye features vs bloated blink feed sense 5
Choice is yours
14. feres13 (Posts: 306; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
I usually use my smartphone camera in night, i usually have a mirrorless camera with me the day so i don't care about daylight images. As for the android version i had the S3 and it didn't feel like android 4.x, it was more like android 2.x with the terrible color theme and the tabs... As for the Processor they are both going to get the S600 in the US so it's going to be a tie. And for the smart features, i never used smart stay on my S3, nor smart rotation when it got the JB update, and do you think that leaving your front facing camera on while you're watching a two hour movie on your smartphone is a great idea? And the hovering thing is limited to a few apps and flipboard, i think it's useless, why not just press on the display? And when i'm paying for a flagship phone i expect high end hardware and design, my iPad 3 (and the olther ones) despite how long i used them still look brand new, but my S3 whenever i pick it up gets tons of fingerprints, and the fzux aluminium sides are scratched alot.
22. sheik (Posts: 249; Member since: 12 Sep 2012)
"i usually have a mirrorless camera with me the day so i don't care about daylight images"- Not every one have separate camera now a days. Everyone wants a single device which meets even their high end camera quality needs. Thats why smartphones are there.
"As for the android version i had the S3 and it didn't feel like android 4.x, it was more like android 2.x with the terrible color theme and the tabs.. And the hovering thing is limited to a few apps and flipboard, i think it's useless,."-It is your own subjective opinion and would not apply to all as i myself like the Nature UX and its features.
"As for the Processor they are both going to get the S600 in the US"- Agreed. But Almost every country in Asia and Africa are gonna get exynos octa!!!
"my iPad 3 (and the olther ones) despite how long i used them still look brand new, but my S3 whenever i pick it up gets tons of fingerprints, and the fzux aluminium sides are scratched alot" -O REALLY!
36. feres13 (Posts: 306; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
You win't get great images out of such a tiny lens, any compact camera will get better results than any smartphone (except maybe the 808). As for the Processors (I'm an amateur photographer), As for the processors, 70% of the first Galaxy S4s will have the S600. And what i said about the durability of aluminium is true, maybe people think that aluminium isn't durable because of all the "scuffgate" issues of the iPhone 5, but these issues concern the Slate model, witch is painted and shows scratches verry easily. And I HATE the glossy finish of the S3, should've been matte, and i never use cases. I read on Sammobile back in the S4 launch that Samsung had to choose between this model and anolther with real aluminium sides and a matte polycarbonate back cover, sadly Smasung gave us the cheapest one. And for the Nature UX, i love sound feedback but hearing water noises everytime i touch my screen IS annoying.

We are talking about the Snapdragon 600. No Octa Core here. Smart Eye features are only available in day. At night those features aren't that much smart. Those are gimmicky, after a month or so, you can download it from Play Store. btw, The Day light problem has been fixed in the update rolled out recently.

- Thses bezels aren't here for nothing, they house front facing speakers, and they're AWESOME, and even if you get rid of all the bezels on a screen it's hard to use the smartphone with one thumb.
- HTC supports their smartphones well, not as good as Samsung but they're not that bad, the S3 got JB in end of september while HTC got it in october
- You never saw the HTC One or any HTC device didn't you, because i saw the DNA and the 8X, the DNA tpaers down to 4mm and that's all you feel, the curved back makes it confortable in the hand but all you feel is 4mm, witch is INSANE
- Whatever where i live they both have the same CPU soo
- Advanced software, you mean bloatware and tons of gimmicks in a cartoony design and creepy water sounds
- You should check PA's comparison with the One agains everything else, the One has a better mic than even the Lumia 920's rich recording witch is even better than the S3.
- I will change my phone the next year so what's the big deal?
- Possible? And you can predict the future?
- You never had an aluminium device didn't you? you might be reffering to anodysed aluminium witch shows scratches alot more than normal aluminium, i have an iPad 3 that has an aluminium back and it still looks like brand new, despite a few drops.
- Your best all around performer had lag on the app drawer on every hands on that i saw, i never saw such thing on the One
- Gimmick
- Gimmick
- Expandable? Samsung says the S3 will have 32/64GB of storage but we never saw them, you can't install apps and games on an SD card, and i had an SD card on my S3 and after a small drop, i lost all my date, SD CARDS aren't reliable
- Had it mn my S3, gimmick
- Gimmick
- Had it on my S3, gimmick, you put anything near the proximity sensor and it calls automatically, one day i forgot to turn off the display on my S3 after reading a SMS and i put it in my pocket and it called the number.
- I'd much rather have the Lyrics on the MP3 player like in the One, and Voice commands didn't work that well
- You have lockscreen shortcuts on the One
- Had it on my S3, gimmick, just look at the famn notification light
- Gimmick, only works in a few apps, i read on technobuffalo that there is tap to top one the One
- What does that even mean?
- Same, you should go learn english
- HTC said it will update the phone to 4.2.2 by the time it comes to market ( end of april )
- What is samsung ORB, and how do you know it will be on 5.0?????

I have an S3, and i don't want to spend my life researching on stuff, i'd rather live it :). The hover thing works on the calendar, the samsung terrible e mail (whoever told sammy that e-mails should have a black background and white text is stupid ), Messages, flipboard, gallery and the video player. Tap to top on the One doesn't work like on the S3, check TB's review. Smart alert vibrates when you have a notification, but it's useless when you have a notification light.

yeah sure...
-4.7 inches better ppi, bezel protects from falls (I had my SGS3 front display shattered from falling in wood surface)
-samsung update policy is terrible, buggy, inconsistent, rished, unstable etc
-thinner device by 1 millimeter??? wow amazing (NOT).
-better processors? proof?? Also benchmarks means zero for UX
-You mean bloated cartoonich software vs clean mature software?
-Check other reviews, for video recording ONE bests the SGS4
-Proof? Sealed batteries last more than 2 years.....
-Proof?? FUD.
-Cheap vs premium. Personal choice.
-Proven?? Where? Youtube videos SGS4 lags all over. HTC ONE reviews consistently point fast performance.
- True, SD slot is a win for Samsung
-Gimmicks, gimmicks..most of them can be replicated by android apps
-It is confirmed that by the time SGS4 is released, the HTC ONE will also have 4.2.2.
Choice is yours

I'm defs drawn to the HTC one. I'm honestly over this concept that Samsung has to continually produce cheap feeling phones. I've just paid top dollar for the top spec phone so why can't they incorporate it nto the design. I don't buy Samsung selling the idea that its for dropping protection.
The truth is they're doing it because it cheap and fast to manufacture. Think otherwise and you're being hoodwinked. That design is a result of cheaper efficient production design and the marketing and product development team has sweet f-all to do with it. I bet you now they're all bitching about it.
The phones are otherwise equal. Both have there pluses and minuses.
Well done to HTC for realising what Jobs had been talking about all those years. People care about the design language and the way it feels. I would go far as to say I would pay a lot more for he HTC One than the Samsung. I have to pick this phone up everyday I don't want to be reminded that my phone is result of cheap manufacturing process and not made for me to enjoy. Its bullsh1t Samsung. Cut it out. It's not gonna stay this way forever (waaay best selling smartphone) unless you realise that.
I'm telling you there's not person who can honestly say, I'm glad my premium phone was made using a cheaper faster manufacturing process. Unless of course you're lying to yourself.
Please fix Samsung.
Sincerely a premium phone owner.

You nailed it dude. hahahaha
HTC ONE May won the design, but its specs and features are less. Lol.
WHILE S4 is very innovative and Advanced. Again, S4 Innovative features are not gimmick. Millions of people will not buy S4 if it made of gimmick features. How about HTC One? Again, oh it has great Design and nothing else. S4 the best!

The 2014 Academy Awards were as much about the songs that brought these films to life as they were about the coveted statuettes.
With a handful of performances punctuating memorable moments – like Liza Minelli's blue streak on the red carpet, Lupita Nyong'o's emotional acceptance speech and Jared Leto's moving tribute to his mother – here's who else stole the show.
Pharrell – who wore one of his signature hats to the show – kicked things off with his hit, "Happy."
Next, Karen O and Ezra Koenig (lead singer of Vampire Weekend) performed "The Moon Song," a quiet number featured in Spike Jonze's Her.
U2's song for Mandela "Ordinary Love" brought the audience to their feet.
Pink paid tribute to The Wizard of Oz with a moving rendition of "Somewhere over the Rainbow."
Bette Midler sang at the Oscars for the first time in her lengthy career. As part of the "In Memoriam" segment, Midler sang "The Wind Beneath My Wings."
And Idina Menzel delivered a moving version of "Let It Go" from Frozen, which later won Best Song.


text: Hatters Look to Even Season Series at UNF Saturday February 01, 2013 The Stetson men's basketball team (9-12, 6-4) will attempt to get back on its winning ways on Saturday after losing a pair of road tilts over the past week. The Hatters travel back to Jacksonville to take on North Florida (8-15, 3-7) in a game scheduled for 4:30 p.m. "Our effort kept us in the game at Jacksonville," Stetson head coach Casey Alexander said on Friday. "But as we learned in that game, we will have to play well to beat UNF." Since topping Stetson 90-74 back on Jan. 5 in DeLand, the Ospreys have dropped six of their last seven games. North Florida is riding a four-game losing streak, including Thursday's 89-75 loss to Florida Gulf Coast, but the Ospreys can lean on the fact that their win over Stetson early in January wasn't all that close. "We have great respect for UNF and know there is a real challenge ahead of us," Alexander said. "They are much better than their record indicates, and they hammered us on our own home floor." UNF sharpshooter Parker Smith shot 9-for-10 from beyond the arc en route to a 33-point night that made it virtually impossible for Stetson to stay in the game earlier in the season. Since then, a number of teams in the Atlantic Sun have found ways to slow the senior guard down, but it will be no easy task. "We learned first-hand how dangerous Parker Smith can be, but we can't lose sight of the fact that they are a complete offensive team," Alexander said. "Their post players have had huge numbers against us and Wilson is the guy that makes it all go." Stetson holds a 10-6 advantage against North Florida in the all-time series, and has won five of the seven contests held in Jacksonville, but the Ospreys have come out on top in three out of the last four tilts. Saturday's game can be watched live and for free on HatterVision and ASun.TV courtesy of North Florida Athletics. Fans looking for the Stetson broadcast can dial into 1230 AM, 1490 AM, or www.MyAM1230.com to listen to Robbie Aaron and Ryan Rouse on the call.

PUNXSUTAWNEY - For Philipsburg-Osceola's Kate Burge, Carly Gonder, McKayla Myers and Aisha Goss, all of whom graduated Friday, it's been a long road to their last game, and they've shared a special bond.
Burge was the designated player as a freshman on the 2010 team that lost in 11 innings to Nanticoke in the state title game and the third baseman on the state-title winning 2011 team before taking over the pitching role the last two years.
Gonder was mainly a pinch runner in 2010, but she has caught the last three years - first at Chelsea Rex's battery mate and the last two with her pal Burge.
Myers was the steady defensive specialist, and Goss was somebody who came up with big hits and even bigger catches - like the sparkling one against Deer Lakes on Saturday.
As the P-O softball players were milling around and being comforted by their family and friends after the 2-0 loss to Riverside in the PIAA Class AA semifinals Tuesday, Burge broke away and tearfully hugged her catcher.
"Um, that was probably the toughest," Burge said as she wiped away tears, "because she's been my catcher since like third grade. She's going to West Virginia, and I'm going to be Penn State Altoona [to try out for the softball team], and I told her that I was going to kidnap her so she could come to Penn State Altoona with me.
"That's one of the worst feelings ever knowing one of your teammates is going so far away. It's a tough situation, but the sun will come up tomorrow. We'll be OK."
Burge, Gonder, Myers and Goss helped P-O get to new heights, amassing a 93-10 record in four years, and three of those losses came during the state playoffs.
"The seniors have had a great career," said P-O coach Jim Gonder, who is 557-128 after 30 years of coaching. "They've been involved in a game with the state champs, or they've been the state champs each of their years. What more can you ask of them? Kate Burge, McKayla Myers, Aisha Goss, Carly Gonder. ... It's been my pleasure coaching them."
Asked to sum up her career, Burge said, "Ah, that's going to make me cry. I don't know. I think the saddest part about it is not just how we lost, but I lost a lot of friendships. I mean I hope we stay in touch, but we're going our separate ways with the seniors and underclassmen.
"We're so close and we're so sisterlike, and we knew if he had a problem, we could talk to any of the teammates about it. That's the part I'm going to miss the most."
"The loss isn't what gets me, it's losing these girls," Carly Gonder said tearfully, "because I've become best friends with all of them. The younger ones have grown so close to all of us, and they would do anything for us."
The Lady Mounties went 23-2 this season, overcame an early-season injury to Burge, lost one regular season game to Central Mountain, won the Mountain League, won their fourth straight District 6 title and made their way through WPIAL teams in the state playoffs before losing to unbeaten Riverside.
"From the season standpoint, you're in the Final Four and you lose 2-0 to who I'll predict will be the eventual state champs," Jim Gonder said.
"This season was awesome, obviously," Carly Gonder said.
P-O always seems to reload, and it will have six starters back, including its top hitter in shortstop Abby Showers, but current junior high players will have big shoes to fill.
"We'll do our best," Jim Gonder said. "There's younger kids coming waiting to play, excited about playing, and given an opportunity, they'll do well too."

What Pink Ghetto? Women Start Technology Companies
By Marian Mangoubi (Founder & CEO, Sassy CEO)
There's an image of entrepreneurial women focusing on their startups on beauty, shopping, and fashion ("Pink Ghetto"). However, after a year of studying tech companies founded by women, I can say emphatically that this is a misrepresentation.
Last year around this time there was a lot of discussion, "where are all the women in tech?" Each time I heard or read this. I noticed there were never statistics provided on the number of tech companies founded by women.

"Would you please stop spitting in my face," Marchese's husband, Jim, told Joe Gorga when the two took it outside.
"You can't shine my shoes!" Gorga yelled, still furious Jim didn't attend a recent guys' night out due to the fact that he runs a mortgage company and can't be around Teresa Giudice and husband Joe, who recently pleaded guilty to fraud.
"See that hand in my face?" asked Marchese. "Touch me, and I'll arrest your ass."
Continued Marchese: "If I want to hurt you, I'm going to sue you. I'm going to leverage your house, I'm going to give you three years of hell in a courtroom, I'm going to bleed you dry financially, and I'm going to humiliate you as I depose you for eight hours and make you my bitch."
"We don't deal with rats!" Rino Aprea yelled at Marchese, dragging Gorga away.
But the confrontations weren't over.
"Does anyone here have an IQ above 12?" Marchese asked Giudice, Melissa Gorga and Dina Manzo when they also asked why he didn't attend the guys' night, and he again tried to explain.
"Jim is acting like a real bitch," said Manzo. "You have a very condescending way of talking to people."
And then it was time for Napolitano and boyfriend Bobby, who hosted the party, to battle, with Bobby carrying his girlfriend away angrily in his arms.
"I don't even know if I want to marry you," Napolitano yelled, brushing her hands together. "If you ever speak to [Amber] again, we're done!"
"First off, don't threaten me," said Bobby. "I got nothin' to do with it ... so pump the brakes!"
"I am so upset that this happened," said a crying Amber, who, along with her husband, ended their longtime friendship with Bobby following the fight. "I should have walked away."
Manzo and Giudice should have walked away from the apology spa day Marchese invited them to after finding out the secret ingredient in their facial formula was bird poop.
"I applied the nightingale droppings to your skin," said the aesthetician.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" asked Giudice.
Manzo said the same thing after her first date with hunky firefighter Matt, who asked her out at the party but arrived a half hour late due to a flat tire.
"I haven't been on a first date in over 15 years," said Manzo. "What if he asks for sex?"
But after the two started talking, she knew he wasn't the one.
"He was very sweet," Manzo said. "I don't know if he's that smart."

Greg Artzner and Terry Leonino – aka Magpie – have been making music together for nearly 40 years, but unless you were a dyed-in-the-wool folk music aficionado, you might never have heard of them. In a way, that's too bad.
Their vocal harmonies are tight and well constructed and they play a small multitude of instruments. When they get up on stage, the first thing they want to do is engage the listeners, seeking a connection that they can foster until it blooms in a "Kumbayah" moment with the audience that includes singing along with the performers.
They're part of that rebel stream of American folk music whose core musical deities are Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, the Weavers and Phil Ochs, singers whose commitment to social justice was strong and sturdy. As such, Artzner and Leonino have written songs about the environment, class struggle and love, and sung these tunes all over the world in addition to covering material created by other like-minded souls.
At Saturday night's concert sponsored by the Buffalo Friends of Folk Music, Magpie began with Leonino singing a 1930s-era pop ditty called "An Evening in Carolina" that was made famous (back in the day) by the Boswell Sisters. Later on they revisited the Boswell repertoire for "Me Minus You."
Other than that, it was an evening of self-penned works and covers written by Woody Guthrie ("Mean Talking Blues," about a union buster), Brian Bowers ("Friend For Life," about songs that stick with you) and Michael Smith ("Princess and the Frog," a twisted fairytale).
Leonino is a marvelous harmonica player in addition to doing a great job on mandolin and guitar, and Artzner, her partner in life and music, is a steady guitarist.
The rapport they developed with the audience was quite remarkable but it should be noted that they were playing to a group of folks who were imminently susceptible to their charms.
Opening up for Magpie was a local bluegrass quartet called All Strings Considered, which featured former members of Dempsey Station – Craig Kellas, a former bluegrass program host on WBFO-FM, on mandolin, and Sue Galbraith on guitar.
They did a more than credible job within the context of a very short set.
Songs from the bluegrass canon, like "Footprints In the Snow" by Bill Monroe, fit well alongside paeans to a bygone age like "Engineers Don't Wave From the Train Anymore" and "Room at the Top of the Stairs" and an instrumental showpiece called "Fireball Mail."
The people behind the Buffalo Friends of Folk Music are all volunteers and they manage to keep putting together interesting programs featuring local and national talents.
Their next offering will feature Western New York's Canal Street String Band and Greg Klyma, on Jan. 12.

Live to hunt another day by wearing a life jacket or float coat
Hunters preparing to hit the water this fall in pursuit of ducks, geese and other wild game are reminded to include life jackets on their hunting gear checklist.
"Hunters in Minnesota are trained from a young age to always put safety first. For duck and goose hunters, that means always wearing a life jacket on the water, no exceptions," said Lt. Col. Greg Salo of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Enforcement Division.
Each year, more waterfowl hunters die from drowning than from other types of hunting accidents. Swamping, capsizing and falling overboard are all common factors leading to these deaths, but in nearly all cases the hunter would have survived had they been wearing a life jacket.
"Before launching the duck boat, make sure everyone on board is wearing a life jacket or float coat," Salo said. "It's the one item that greatly increases your odds of surviving a water emergency and living to hunt another day."
The wide variety of comfortable, camouflage life jackets designed specifically for waterfowl hunting includes inflatable vest and belt-pack styles, insulated flotation jackets, and foam-filled shooting vests with quilted shoulders and shell loops.
"Typical foam-filled vests or float coats provide optimal insulation against cold air and the effects of hypothermia, but without question, the best life jacket for waterfowl hunting is the one you will actually wear," said Lisa Dugan, DNR boating and water safety outreach coordinator. "Choosing a life jacket style that works for you, and wearing it every time you're on the water, is not only a good choice – it could save your life."
At the very least, all boats must carry one U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket for each passenger, and boats longer than 16 feet must also have a throwable flotation device immediately available. Children under 10 must wear a life jacket.
Other water safety tips for duck hunters include:
- Don't overload the boat; take two trips if necessary.
- If wearing hip boots or waders, learn how to float with them on.
- Stay near shore and avoid crossing large expanses of open water, especially in bad weather.
- Share your trip plans with someone and advise them to call for help if you don't return on schedule.
- Use a headlamp, spotlight or navigation lights to alert other boaters of presence in dark and/or foggy conditions.
- Carry a cell phone or personal locator beacon in case of emergency.
- Don't drink and boat and don't drink and hunt

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is seeking applications for grants to support off-highway vehicle (OHV) trail projects and new trail proposals.
Application forms for projects on existing trails are due to a Parks and Trails area supervisor's office each year by Nov. 30. New trail proposals are accepted throughout the year.
First authorized in 1984, Minnesota's OHV trails assistance program is a cost-share program intended to help develop and maintain trails for use by all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), off-highway motorcycles (OHMs) and off-road vehicles (ORVs).
Known as the OHV grant-in-aid (GIA) program, it helps to establish and maintain recreational trails at the initiative of clubs and other organizations, with the support and participation of local government sponsors.
Organizations can apply for GIA funds through counties, cities or townships. All aspects of OHV trail development and maintenance are eligible for funding, including project administration, site planning, trail improvements, land acquisition for trail development, and trail maintenance. Proposals with a focus on maintaining or improving existing trails and trail systems will be assigned a higher priority.
Program and application information is www.dnr.state.mn.us/grants/recreation/gia_ohv.html
or by contacting the DNR Information Center at email@example.com or 651-296-615, or 888-646-6367 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Department of Natural Resources will sell 40 northern Minnesota parcels in three public oral bid auctions in October and November.
- Tuesday, Oct. 25 – Nine northwestern Minnesota parcels will be auctioned at the County Administration Building in Bemidji.
- Thursday, Oct. 27 – 27 northeastern Minnesota parcels will be auctioned at the Lake County Courthouse in Two Harbors.
- Thursday, Nov. 3 – Four parcels in north-central Minnesota will be auctioned at DNR Brainerd area office.
The properties include unimproved recreational land and residential lakeshore parcels in Aitkin, Cass, Clearwater, Cook, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Itasca, Lake, and St. Louis counties. There is a wide range of sizes and land uses in this selection of sales, from a small 0.80 acre former water access site on Pine Lake in Clearwater County to a 200-acre recreational parcel in Breitung Township in northeastern St. Louis County.
The DNR regularly sells land which is no longer needed for its original conservation purpose, after a thorough internal review, and after giving state agencies and local governments opportunities to purchase the land. Proceeds from sales of lands the DNR had once acquired go to the DNR division that had managed the land and are used to purchase and develop lands better suited to that division's conservation goals.
Many of the parcels to be sold are School Trust lands. Proceeds from these auction sales are deposited to a fund that benefits the state's public school system. School Trust land by law can only be sold at public auction.
Bidders are advised to obtain and view the property data sheet, be familiar with the property, minimum bid price, and terms and conditions of sale prior to attending the auction.
To obtain a property data sheet or terms and conditions of sale call 651-259-5432, or 888-646-6367 or email email@example.com. The property data sheets are also available online at www.dnr.state.mn.us/lands_minerals/landsale/.

OutdoorMN News - DNR to hold open house on state forest trails in northern St. Louis and Lake counties
State forest trail use and management in northern St. Louis and Lake counties will be the topic of an open house, Wednesday, Oct. 19, 6-8 p.m., at Vermillion Community College, Room NS111, 1900 East Camp St., Ely.
During the open house, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources staff will provide maps of existing trails, answer questions and take comments and suggestions from the public.
Between 2003 and 2008, the DNR inventoried all routes and designated trails for various types of recreation within state forests.
This current project will reevaluate the designations made during the initial review of the Bear Island, Burntside, Insula Lake, Lake Isabella, Lake Jeanette and Sturgeon River state forests in St. Louis and Lake counties.
Changes could include redefining how trails can be used, determining options for motorized trail routes and trail connections, closing unsustainable trails, designating "areas with limitations" during hunting and trapping activities, and developing new hunter-walking trails. Changes to state forest trail designations must be made by commissioner's order and published in the State Register.
Written comments may be submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com or by mail to Joe Unger, DNR Parks and Trails, 500 Lafayette Road, St. Paul, MN 55155-4039. The DNR will accept written comments through Nov. 2.
For more information, contact:
- Joe Unger, OHV planner, Parks and Trails Division, 651-259-5279.
- Joe Majerus, area supervisor, Parks and Trails Division, Tower Area Office, 218-300-7842.
Information is also available online at www.dnr.state.mn.us/input/mgmtplans/ohv/designation/revisions.html.
Sartell artist Scot Storm won the 2017 Minnesota Pheasant Habitat Stamp contest. The painting was selected by judges from among 15 submissions for the annual contest sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.
Storm's painting will be featured on the 2017 pheasant habitat stamp. His artwork has been featured on the pheasant stamp in 2011, 2006 and 2000; and on the waterfowl stamp in 2015, 2009 and 2004.
The pheasant stamp validation for hunting is $7.50 and is required for pheasant hunters ages 18 to 64. For an extra 75 cents, purchasers can receive the validation as well as the pictorial stamp in the mail. It also is sold as a collectible. Revenue from stamp sales is dedicated to pheasant management and habitat work.
Four entries advanced as finalists and were selected Sept. 22 at DNR headquarters in St. Paul. Other finalists were Mark Thone, second place; Nicholas Markell, third place; and Mark Kness, fourth place.
The DNR offers no prizes for the stamp contest winner, but the winning artist retains the right to reproduce the work. The 2017 pheasant stamp will be available for sale in March.
