Samsung promises "64-bit functionality" in next smartphones, because it can't let Apple have anything "special"
0. phoneArena 12 Sep 2013, 00:58 posted on
That's right folks, we're back in the day care play area and Samsung is jealous of Apple's new 64-bit toy. Samsung apparently doesn't care much that 64-bit processing won't really help Apple all that much in the near future, nor that 64-bit support will be completely useless on an Android device (unless Android 4.4 KitKat is bringing 64-bit support)...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

The sad thing is Apple never innovate, and therefore Samsung never copies ... NOT.

Samsung never copy! Samsung has 2 dept in mobile section RB and copy paste Lol.
43. BillyG (Posts: 305; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
and i bet they have lots of photocopy machine in there...

I don't think Samsung is jealous of Apple but I do think a certain fanboy writer is butthurt, intimidated, sour and has Sammy iRage! =D

chrisgringo: the writer was trying to be funny, and I dovetailed with sarcasm -- okay, you can't connect the ellipses; we understand.
I'll be serious for a moment, both literally and figuratively speaking, so please check out link:http://www.incipio.com/cases/i
It's a watchband for the iPod Nano 6. Just a few days ago, Samsung released the "Gear" -- if you ask me, that Gear is an IMPROVEMENT on the Apple product. People were using the iPod Nano as a smartwatch, but Apple **never** innovates. To a lot people, the iPod Nano was an attempt at a smartwatch. Enough said.
94. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I think you should first learn the meaning of a smart watch and why an MP3 player isn't one
33. Larry_ThaGr81 (Posts: 441; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I don't see how Apple consumers will benefit from 64 bit processing anytime soon. What's the point of introducing it as though it will have an immediate impact on Apple consumers.
42. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
it's a software future proofing effort by Apple. they don't have much feature to focus their marketing therefore Apple talk a lot on 64 bit much like what Microsoft did during the Windows 7 launch. I have upgrade my desktop gaming pc from 32bit to 64bit Windows 7 with zero percent speed improvement.
Still necessary if I need the full benefit of my 16Gb ram. No higher fps but still give me great satisfaction of my achievement. Especially after overcoming driver problem and game crushes due to 64 bits.
62. parvsingh05 (Posts: 98; Member since: 11 Jan 2012)
There are so many features that Samsung has put on there fone but stil not getting utilised completely. If apple does it , usay what's da point putting it in a phone right now, future is here
34. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
I actually have to give props to Samsung for not staying silent.
Also, you'd be a fool to think Samsung wasn't already working on 64 bit processors with the intent to have them ready within another generation or so, and Android will likely include such optimization anyway with KitKat. Android could be the key to breaking the Apple-Microsoft mainline computing duopoly.
59. Zeus.k (unregistered)
Well it makes perfect sense to. Include 64 bit support since Samsung is the only major manufacturer to have 3GB ram and they might break the 4GB RAM barrier with note4. Apple hasn't even put 2GB of ram in anything. Apple is first to include something doesn't mean that others weren't working on it.
61. yowanvista (Posts: 340; Member since: 20 Sep 2011)
No it doesn't make sense, Cortex-A15 SoCs can already address up to 1TB of RAM with LPAE enabled.
70. tedkord (Posts: 11620; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
I'm not sure about ARMs implementation, but when I tried enabling address extension on my old Windows/Intel 32bit box with 4gb about 6 years ago, it not only gave no improvement, it actually got really unstable. To the point that I disabled it and later picked up Vista Ultimate 64bit and installed it on another partition and dual booted. The XP partition used 3gb, the Vista used 4gb.
But even with the extra gig of ram, 64bit yielded no discernable or benchmark improvements. Whether I ran the 32 bit versions in XP, or alongside the 64bit versions in Vista, benefits were negligible.
86. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
actually 64bit is slightly slower compare to Windows xp 32 bit for a very long time but now nobody bother with Windows 32bit anymore especially newer build system.
128. Dr.Tom (Posts: 46; Member since: 11 May 2013)
Don't forget that we are now at 3Gb level, when at the start of 2013, 1 Gb was the norm. By the time the new SamyS5 comes out, it will probably have 4Gbs ram, which means that it can take advantage of a 64 bit cpu. If not the Note 4 will have more than 4Gbs, and its the new gold standard for phones! Until the Apple 7 arrives, which will then be forced to get atleast 4 Gb ram just to keep up!
69. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
I'm willing to bet that Samsung had no plans at all to incorporate a 64 bit processor. The iPhone 5S is launching BEFORE the Note III, yet Samsung was unable to incorporate the 64-bit processor in a phone that's 2-3 volume of the iPhone and has 3 gigs of RAM? Not even the Galaxy Tab will have it? They obviously weren't planning for it.
71. tedkord (Posts: 11620; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Because they understand that 64 bit yields negligible improvements unless more than 4gb of ram is employed. The Note 3 had only 3gb of ram.
Read my reply above. I got virtually zero gain from going 64bit in my old desktop. That's why so few desktop programs are 64bit even today. My newest PC has 16gb ram, so it likely sees a benefit, though I can't prove it because I've got only 64bit OS installed.
Yes, manufacturers were planning the move to 64bit, mainly because ARM had already announced they were coming out with 64bit cites early next year.
134. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
And so why couldn't those devices get 4gig of RAM this year? Samsung will be putting the 64-bit processor in "future devices" yet somehow I doubt the Galaxy S5 and very possibly the Note 4 will be getting 4gigs of ram.
118. RebelwithoutaClue (Posts: 2887; Member since: 05 Apr 2013)
Why would they implement 64 bit now, if android doesnt even support it, nor any apps out there.
135. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Why would they announce that they will support it if there's a good possibility that Kit-Kat will not support it?
39. special4u (Posts: 63; Member since: 22 May 2013)
samsung is waiting ARM finalize the design for them so they can put exynos logo on it
54. tedkord (Posts: 11620; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
ARM has been planning 64bit processors for some time, to come out early next year. It was obvious that 64bit was coming next and soon. Apple just rushed to be first probably to set up lawsuits. And the worst part is it's virtually gainless with only one or two gb of ram.
92. thedarkside (Posts: 652; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Samsung made the A7 chips in the iphone 5s/5c.
104. Trololol (Posts: 33; Member since: 12 Sep 2013)
yes but it has custom silicon
131. sgogeta4 (Posts: 394; Member since: 02 Feb 2011)
But they still made it...
108. jaxson983 (Posts: 43; Member since: 11 Aug 2013)
Samsung is making the A7...is it coping if you are making it in the first place. Also its all useless right now anyway. You will prob have to buy an iphone 6 or 6s or 7 before its worth anything same with Samsung unless they add the ram.
119. RebelwithoutaClue (Posts: 2887; Member since: 05 Apr 2013)
They mass producing it, the cpu itself is designed by Apple. But it is useless right now.
121. Trololol (Posts: 33; Member since: 12 Sep 2013)
"useless right now" i agree with u sir
but we dont know what will happen next, right?
132. jaxson983 (Posts: 43; Member since: 11 Aug 2013)
that's my point. we don't know what will happen next but "next" wont be this phone. It doesn't have the ram. I guess really its an indication that they will stop supporting the 5c and lower in coming years. The 5s will do an eh job with 64bit apps and then future models will be designed around it. Or they will have a huge gap between the top and bottom and more and more apps that work for some phones but not others.
141. Trololol (Posts: 33; Member since: 12 Sep 2013)
but who knows? maybe 4gigs ram on iphone............9s
112. ph00ny (Posts: 1234; Member since: 26 May 2011)
it would make more sense for samsung to use 64bit than apple since they're getting close to the 4GB memory limit of 32bit
120. designerfx (Posts: 76; Member since: 26 Mar 2013)
nothing here is relevant. the article title is crap, and so are the comments.
Every ARM processor is moving towards X64 for a variety of reasons. This has no correlation to any individual vendor.
125. johnbftl (Posts: 281; Member since: 09 Jun 2012)
I don't see how Samsung would be copying Apple by implementing a 64-bit processor. That A7 processor that Apple is carrying under the hood is made by Samsung, not Apple. One cannot copy or steal technology created by oneself. It'd be like accusing the German scientists the U.S. employed after World War 2 of copying the designs of the jet propulsion engine from the Nazis.
126. scumbledEGG (unregistered)
64bit??? what a gimmick!!! nahaha! clear win, apple takes home the "W" haha!
2. D.Aceveda (Posts: 396; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
64 bit is pointless on a mobile device. Apple needs 64bit since they still haven't got past the 1gb limit LOL
106. ghaniosman (Posts: 78; Member since: 06 Jun 2013)
forget apple!! now samsung (the new cool) is doing it, thats matters!!!
secondly, PA even if google hasn't announced yet but samsung did so not to worry since samsung is already dominating google's android OS and what samsung demands google have to do it.
111. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Ageed. Even IF Apple were able to cram 4+ GB into the iPhone 5S, we'd be watching all this amazing performance... on a tiny screen.
I could see this being much more applicable on an iPad, but knowing Apple they won't be putting more than 4 GB into the iPad until 2018.
3. TGreg104 (Posts: 38; Member since: 14 Jun 2011)
I know you meant this to be playful and it is but honestly its bound to happen, its just the next logical step as far as SoC's go since we're nearing the 4gb mark. I honestly think Apple made the A7 a 64-bit because they saw that android devices are coming to the point where 64-bit makes sense and just wanted to be the first to do it. I'm sure the iPhone 6 will have 4gbs of ram, and I'm sure the next android flag ships will be 64-bit/+4gb of ram. Its just how it goes. Good for apple i guess
23. TechBizJP08 (Posts: 495; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
4GB rams still not coming next year IMO. at least after 2 years.
37. Reality_Check (Posts: 277; Member since: 15 Aug 2013)
I think the Ubuntu Edge had 4GB RAM? Though it didn't reach its goal. A chinese company is also going to sell an Android smartphone with 4GB RAM (Hasee I think) So I think 2014 will be a year of 3/4GB RAM's.
28. a_merryman (Posts: 749; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
I'm hoping the 64-bit is part of Apple's plans to make a more computer like tablet with the iPad, by offering more functionality and thus increasing its ram and storage options to help.
Likewise, I hope google does it because I think Android on a hybrid tablet might be pretty nice.
Although that Asus T100 looks like a pretty good deal, full-blown windows 8.1, decent specs all for only $349 (Which includes the keyboard dock, and the 64GB is only $399)
55. tedkord (Posts: 11620; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Apple aren't going to offer anything that cuts into their profit margins. If an extra GB of ram costs them $80, expect to pay an extra $200.
129. Dr.Tom (Posts: 46; Member since: 11 May 2013)
Only $200 extra? Apple generally mark up 500 percent. So an $80 part adds $400 to the bottom line. Follow this rule and the extra 4Gb ram adds about $40, so that adds $200 to the bottom line! If the new iPhone 5S costs about $900-1000 (off contract price), a 5-6Gb iPhone with no other upgrades will cost about $1100-1200 to buy! Better save cause even for me, thats stupid money to give for a phone!

48. LiquidGalaxy (Posts: 332; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
Does the iPhone really need anymore RAM though? I'm yet to think it does. It may only have 1gb but it still runs games and the overall OS a lot smoother and quicker than any flagship Android or Windows phone i've used. Optimisation really is key, and Apple have that in the bag..
57. tedkord (Posts: 11620; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Simplicity also helps. Never having to dynamically resize content for different screens for example. The less something does, the less resources it need and the easier it is to make it s smooth.
That said, I'm running AOSP android 4.3 right now and it is every bit as smooth and fluid as iOS.
102. LiquidGalaxy (Posts: 332; Member since: 03 Jul 2013)
Awesome. On which device?
127. scumbledEGG (unregistered)
+1tgreg104, its even, its all about choice...
4. pyradark (Posts: 852; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
even google play is not capable of bringing 1080p apps!! while iOS does
72. tedkord (Posts: 11620; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Awesome! 1080p apps on a 640p screen! That 1080p will do as much good on a 640p screen as a 64bit processor/OS on a 2gb ram machine.
84. iampayne (Posts: 322; Member since: 12 Aug 2013)
Yeah completely disregard the iPad right, blind hate just makes you sound dumb
89. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
tedkord just stated a technical fact. deal with it.
however if you think Apple new iPhone is great value you could buy it and be happy. I don't think it good enough for me.
Hope iPhone 6 would be better.
97. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Can you prove that with plausible links?
5. clevername (Posts: 1436; Member since: 11 Jul 2008)
At the risk of sounding like a troll or mindless fan boy, there is no way people can say Samsung isn't copying here. They could've announced it next month, in a few months when rumors pick up for the S5, or for any reason. But the day after apples announcement... This just screams "me too"
13. suneeboy (Posts: 201; Member since: 02 Oct 2012)
It's not copying. Its the natural progression of technology. So is everyone copying the original 1080p phone? Is any phone copying the original phone that provided push e-mail? What about quad core processors? What about touch screens? When new technology becomes available and possible, it expands. Its not copying. Get past that infantile school yard way of thinking. We all do things that we've seen others do. Apple is copying HTC by using larger pixels. Apple is copying Nokia by using a plastic body and using various colors. Apple is copying the Motorola Atrix with the fingerprint scanner. Sound stupid right? Because it is. There is no copying going on. It's the natural evolution of technology.
27. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Why announce this 1 day after Apple's event? 64-bit processors supposedly have no benefit to mobile devices today whatsoever and Google's OS doesn't won't even allow 64-bit apps to work. So then what exactly is the functional purpose of adding this feature? There is none. Samsung is copying just for copying-sake so STFU with your preachy BS.
38. TheM16 (Posts: 80; Member since: 14 Aug 2013)
Jealousy maybe? Or to get people's attention again cuz all eyes on Apple at the moment =)
73. tedkord (Posts: 11620; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
As had been explanted ad nauseum here, the benefit comes when devices start exceeding 4gb of ram.
It's like buying a 4k TV now. You will still be getting only 1080 content until 4k content becomes available. But it is future proof.
136. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Samsung will be putting the 64-bit processor in future smartphones, Will the S5 have 4 gigs of ram? Very unlikely. Will it have the 64-bit processor? Most definitely. Will Google bring 64-bit support at all this year? Who knows.
91. suneeboy (Posts: 201; Member since: 02 Oct 2012)
Preachy BS? So as soon as Apple increases the screen size or ups the resolution of their phone to 1080p you better be the first moron on these boards trolling about how Apple copied.
Also, why aren't you trolling about Apple copying Android with the control center and quick settings? What about swipe to close apps in iOS7? You're too stupid to even think that far. You just quack like a duck online, "Copy, Copy, Copy, Copy". Like a little kid.

Maryland Blood: An American Family in War and Peace, The Hambletons 1657 to Present, Book Launch Party with author Martha Frick Symington Sanger
October 20, 2016 - 6:00pm
From William Hambleton's arrival on the Eastern Shore in 1657 and through every major conflict on land, sea, and air since, a member of the Hambleton clan has participated and made a lasting contribution to this nation. Their achievements are not only in war but in civic leadership as well. Among its members are bankers, business leaders, government officials, and visionaries. Not only is the Hambleton family extraordinary by American standards, it is also remarkable in that their base for four centuries has been and continues to be Maryland. The blood of the Hambletons is also the blood of Maryland, a rich land stretching from the shores of the Atlantic Ocean to the tidal basins of the mighty Chesapeake to the mountains of the west, a poetic framework that illuminates one truly American family that continues its legacy of building new generations of strong Americans. Join us for the launch of Martha Frick Symington Sanger's new book, Maryland Blood: An American Family in War and Peace, The Hambletons 1657 to Present. A discussion of Sanger's research will begin at 6:00PM, followed by a celebratory reception and book signing.

Since the Massachusetts chapter formed the Litigation Committee in the spring of 2011, we have actively pursued cases that promote social, political, and economic justice on the local level. The project has won great victories, effecting change in areas ranging from prisoners' rights in Essex County to Boston police practices around tenants in foreclosed properties. For one of our first initiatives, the Litigation Committee, along with the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts, initiated an action against the Boston Police Department, which brought into question the activities of its "Boston Regional Intelligence Center" (BRIC). BRIC is a regional domestic surveillance center designed to investigate potentially terrorist activity. As a result of this lawsuit, we uncovered documents and video footage that demonstrates the unsettling extent to which the Boston Police Department, through BRIC, has been routinely monitoring, spying, and reporting on ordinary citizens who are engaging in peaceful demonstrations. We published a report summarizing our findings in October.
We also initiated a class action lawsuit against the Sheriff of Essex County for charging improper fees to inmates for routine medical screening. Since the lawsuit began, the Essex County Sheriff has stopped charging the fees. In addition, the sheriff has expressed his intention to settle the case and return the fees to the affected individuals that can be identified.
As part of the Litigation Committee, Massachusetts chapter attorneys currently represent two tenants living in foreclosed properties who were at one time at risk of eviction from their homes. Those members have successfully defeated the eviction actions against them by proving Fannie Mae's failure to follow proper procedure under MGL c. 186A, which establishes rights for tenants in foreclosed properties. Each violation of this statute is supposed to be subject to a $5,000 penalty, but this penalty has never been enforced. These cases were no exception. In response, the same Guild lawyers have submitted motions to reconsider the decisions in both of these cases and will argue that the penalty should not only be imposed by the Housing Court, but should be awarded to the tenants directly. Uniform enforcement of this penalty will effectively deter banks from improperly evicting individuals and will provide monetary relief to the innocent victims of these violations.
Looking to the future, the Litigation Committee is planning several new projects. First, we are researching the possibility of challenging marriage as an institution that promotes the inequitable distribution of key public benefits and rights. For example, the federal government has identified 1,138 federal statutory provisions that use marital status as a determinative factor in qualifying for federal rights and benefits. This alone raises a number of issues for the unmarried, including Social Security survivorship rights, income tax deductions and credits, and the right to care for a loved one under the Family and Medical Leave Act. Second, we are examining a potential lawsuit against a residential management company that operates across the state of Massachusetts and has been engaging in what we believe are unfair and deceptive practices. The company has routinely used bait-and-switch advertising tactics to lock potential tenants into high-rent apartments and has a reputation of extremely aggressive eviction practices. Third, we are considering bringing an action on behalf of female prisoners to challenge the disturbing practice of shackling inmates during labor.
The Litigation Committee has had an active year and is looking forward to developing new projects in the year to come. Thank you to all of our members and supporters.

DailyTech received its first looks at a GeForce 8800
production sample today, and by the looks of it, the card is a monster: at
least with regard to size and power requirements.
The GeForce 8800 comes in two flavors, which we will get into more detail about
over the course of the next few days. The first card, the
GeForce 8800GTX, is the full blown G80 experience, measuring a little less than 11 inches in length. The GeForce 8800GTS is
a cut down version of the first, and only 9 inches in length.
The marketing material included with the card claims NVIDIA requires at least a
450W power supply for a single GeForce 8800GTX, and 400W for the 8800GTS.
Top tier vendors in Taiwan have already confirmed with DailyTech that
GeForce 8800 cards in SLI mode will likely carry a power supply
"recommendation" of 800W. NVIDIA's GeForce 7950GX2, currently the company's top performing video card, carries a recommendation of 400W to run the card in single-card mode.
NVIDIA is slated to launch both versions of the GeForce 8800 in November of this
year. More details on the GeForce 8800 will be available later today on DailyTech.
quote: NVIDIA's GeForce 8800GTX will be the flagship product. The core clock will be factory clocked at 575 MHz. All GeForce 8800GTX cards will be equipped with 768MB of GDDR3 memory, to be clocked at 900 MHz. The GeForce 8800GTX will also have a 384-bit memory interface and deliver 86GB/second of memory bandwidth. GeForce 8800GTX graphics cards are equipped with 128 unified shaders clocked at 1350 MHz. The theoretical texture fill-rate is around 38.4 billion pixels per second.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the tricorder of our time, according to Mark Griswold, Ph.D., associate professor at Case Western Reserve University, referring to the Star Trek medical device that seemingly performs all diagnostic tests with a mere scan. Although it isn't as advanced as its Star Trek cousin, emerging MRI devices are breaking the barriers in terms of imaging speed and what may be imaged successfully.
Dr. Griswold, who was one of a number of speakers at the Gordon Research Conference on "In Vivo Magnetic Resonance" in Andover, NH, in July, has developed a method that images data 384 times faster than was possible in the mid 1990s, and one of his colleagues has pushed the boundary to 970 times faster than mid '90s speed, he says. The approach tends to focus tightly on only pixels that contain relevant information and ignores irrelevant pixels. "In many clinical situations, only about 10 percent of an image has relevant data, but the entire image is processed through the same techniques."
One approach Dr. Griswold's lab is investigating uses a library of prior scans to teach the scanner what a typical scan should look like. Afterward, only the portions of an image not recognized on those scans goes to a lossy data-processing channel. The rest of the data is processed by other channels. The goal is to minimize what goes to the lossy channel, thereby dramatically speeding imaging and simultaneously providing higher quality views of the relevant data.
The three broad limitations to speed, he says, are the signal itself, the methodology that encodes data to the image, and power demands. Using conventional encoding, the power needed to achieve a fourfold speed increase would approximate the output of a small nuclear power plant, Dr. Griswold says. To break these accepted speed barriers, he explored compressed sensing, a concept that came from the math world.
The challenge was how to turn this concept into a broadly accepted method to generate clinically relevant data. In the case of angiography, the algorithm was written to image only the aspects of a tissue that changed slowly. Pixels that didn't change, or that changed quickly, were excluded. "There are tons of processes that applies to."
Working with Northwestern University, Dr. Griswold is applying his work in fast MRI to arteriovenous malformations to provide a roadmap intended to help physicians locate the malformation. Interventional magnetic resonance is another potential application for fast MRI.
"Ours is sensitive to things that no other modality sees, but there are several areas where characterizing a lesion is still problematic." For example, in mammograms, traditional diagnostics offer sensitivity of about 90%, while MRI offers sensitivity of 98 to 99%.
Specificity, however, remains problematic. "If you see something with MRI, you oftentimes still must use pathology to characterize it. A clinician has to have some way of quickly getting a sample from the lesion under MRI guidance." To that end, researchers are developing ways to use MRI to perform minimally invasive therapies including needle biopsies and using radio frequencies to destroy tumors.
Cardiac imaging is another promising application for fast MRI. For example, using MRI, researchers can watch the beating heart, can ascertain—at a range of hundreds of cells per milliliter—whether the myocytes in the myocardium are dead, and, one day, may be able to determine the best course of treatment.
"At the physics level, magnetic resonance can measure almost any property of almost any tissue," Dr. Griswold says. Whether it should be used, however, is often determined by the time available for a given measurement. So, each time MRI can be sped up, MRI becomes more practical for a wider range of studies.

UNIVERSITY PARK - A huge topic of Internet discussion following Saturday's game was whether Penn State coach Bill O'Brien let an expletive slip during his postgame TV interview.
The coach's voice cracked a little during one key word, and while he was trying to say "fighters," the word he said sounded more like a certain expletive.
"They're a bunch of [bleepers]," the coach said on TV when praising his team. "They fight hard."
It wasn't 100 percent audible one way or the other, but many people believed they heard an expletive. O'Brien's comments blew up on social media, and within a short time there were several clips of them on YouTube.
"Based on a conversation with him in the locker room, we don't think that's what he intended to say," a Penn State spokesman said.
Focus turns to players staying
Penn State's underclassmen now become free agents and, under the NCAA sanctions, can transfer to another school until August and be able to play immediately.
" I am pretty sure most of us are staying," freshman tight end Jesse James said. "I have not heard anyone say anything otherwise."
Some players' feelings might change if they start getting offers from lucrative programs, and many young standouts on the team are certain to be getting those. Receiver Allen Robinson, offensive tackle Donovan Smith, defensive end Deion Barnes, cornerback Adrian Amos and running back Zach Zwinak, among others, are expected to be contacted by many schools.
Senior fullback Michael Zordich said the team's morale is high because of how the season finished and that "we have got great coaches that have awesome relationships with the younger guys."
That's what makes keeping Bill O'Brien around is so important because, if he were to leave for another job, the younger players would all have to reconsider their plans.
"I can't see a reason to ever leave this place," junior linebacker Glenn Carson said. "This is an unbelievable place and has so much to offer. It's hard to believe anyone will want to leave."
PSU names season captains
Linebacker Michael Mauti, defensive tackle Jordan Hill, quarterback Matt McGloin, fullback Michael Zordich and linebacker/special teams member Michael Yancich were named season captains prior to the game. Bill O'Brien named several game captains throughout the season, then selected the five seniors as season captains.
Badgers' Ball sets NCAA TD record
Wisconsin's Montee Ball broke free through the right side for a historic 17-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. The score was the 79th of Ball's career, setting a new NCAA record. The previous mark of 78 was held by Travis Prentice of Miami, Ohio. Ball tied Barry Sanders' single-season NCAA record of 39 touchdowns last season.
"It is a tremendous accomplishment by him and everyone around him, but it is obviously not as fulfilling as a win would be today," Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema said.
Wisconsin finished third in the Leaders Division behind Ohio State and Penn State, but since neither of those is eligible, the Badgers will move on to the Big Ten title game to face Nebraska.
News and notes
A group of fans campaigning to get Heisman Trophy winner John Cappelletti's No. 22 jersey retired by PSU has a meeting with athletic director Dave Joyner on Wednesday to pitch their idea. ... Penn State allowed a TD in the first quarter for the first time all season on Melvin Gordon's 57-yard TD reception. ... Ty Howle started at G instead of Miles Dieffenbach. ... CB Adrian Amos was shaken up with an undisclosed injury and was not on the field late in the game. ... QB Matt McGloin tied Daryll Clark's season record with 24 TD passes.

|How Do I Get Authorization to Work with Lasers at the ALS?
If You Are Bringing a Laser
If You Intend to Use a Laser System Already in Operation at the ALS
In this case, the process is usually much simpler. These laser systems will have already had a formal review and authorization [Work, Planning and Control (WPC)], and the bulk of any engineering and administrative controls will already be in place. The main issue will be to understand how your particular experiments fit into these controls; this will determine if special engineering control arrangements are necessary for the setup, and which laser user training, if any, is required. You should contact your Beamline Scientist at least two weeks before your run, to make sure that this is organized.

The Weld District Attorney on Tuesday formally filed charges against a man accused of stabbing his co-worker five times in the face at an oil and gas well site near Greeley.
David Baldizan, 34, faces felony charges of attempted first-degree murder after deliberation, as well as first-degree assault with a deadly weapon that caused serious bodily injury following the Jan. 30 altercation at a well site near 22625 Weld County Road 64.
Weld County Sheriff's Office deputies were called early in the morning to the site on a report of a man who had been stabbed several times and was bleeding badly from his face, according to an arrest affidavit. When police arrived, they found Uriah James Anthony Lopez, 20, bleeding. He told authorities he had been sleeping and woke up to someone stabbing him.
The sheriff's office has not yet released the man's booking photo because of the ongoing investigation.
Baldizan remains in custody at the Weld County Jail and is being held on a $500,000 bond. His next hearing is scheduled for Feb. 13.

You know those booklets which list famous happenings during your natal year? I got one on my last birthday and thought it fascinating. One day I waned to condense that idea and see what happened on a certain day in history – both at home and abroad. I chose today. March 1 is the 60th day of the year (61st in leap years) and there are 305 days remaining.
Astrologically speaking, a Pisces born on March 1 has strong views on morality yet does not confuse them with deeper, spiritual truths. Their need to understand their motivations is strong, and it defines their character. They are competitive and give their best at every opportunity, always believing that attitude, more than ability, promises success.
Let's start with some famous birthdays – and for that we can begin right at home, offering felicitations to someone whose life, work and community service have impacted Summervillians for more than half a century. March 1, 1917, saw the birth of our Mayor Emeritus Berlin George Myers. Happy 96th Birthday, your honor! As you were born on the fourth day of the week, you're living out the words of that famous poem that tells us: "Thursday's child has far to go."
Others who share this day include pop star Justin Bieber, singer Harry Belafonte, composer Frederic Chopin, child actor turned director Ron Howard, band leader Glenn Miller, actor David Niven, singer Dinah Shore, and in fiction, Ron Weasley (portrayed by actor Rupert Grint) came to life in the Harry Potter series. A famous showbiz couple married on this date: Johnny Cash and June Carter.
Many important national events took place on this date in history.
One of the oldest is the first census which happened in 1790 In 1932. the Lindbergh baby is kidnapped when stolen from his crib at the family estate in Hopewell, New Jersey. The Hoover Dam (Boulder Dam) is completed in 1936 and turned over to the U.S. government. It supplies hydroelectricity, irrigation and fresh water to homes in California and Nevada.
A year later the most successful – and acrimonious – steel strike was over. This was the end of the steel strike for union workers. This strike had resulted in quite a few victories for unions such as the United Auto Workers who has staged a strike at the Michigan General Motors plant during this time period. The reason for the union strike: similar to the rest of the reason why strikes take place. Generally speaking, they are planned with the intent of advocating better working conditions for all employees (i.e. shorter hours, pay raises, more benefits, and workers' protection).
In 1954 the USA tests the hydrogen bomb in the Pacific archipelago of Bikini, part of the Marshall Islands. President John F. Kennedy establishes the Peace Corps as a new agency

Performing more than 2,000 adult procedures annually for the last 25 years, Emory's Cardiac Surgery service has long been ranked among the top five academic centers in the nation in clinical volume and is considered one of the nation's top institutions for biomedical education, research, and patient care. Emory's Cardiac Surgery Service has performed more off-pump coronary artery bypass procedures to treat coronary artery disease than any other service in the country and is also a national leader in robotically assisted, minimally invasive coronary artery bypass surgery.
• Heart Transplant
The Emory Center for Heart Failure Therapy and Transplant in Atlanta, Georgia ranks among the nation's top heart transplant hospitals. We are a leader in heart transplantation and therapies to improve heart failure. Our comprehensive services include medical therapy, FDA-regulated investigational drugs and devices, cardiac catheterization, cardiac surgery, and in select patients, heart transplantation.
• Robotic Surgery
Emory is one of the few national centers performing robotic cardiac surgery using the daVinci Surgical System. Emory's robotic surgeons have completed numerous cases and are recognized in Atlanta, the Southeast and across the country for their expertise in cardiac surgery. Some of the cardiac and thoracic conditions treated by Emory cardiac surgeons include mitral valve repair and replacement, atrial septal defect repair, atrial myxoma and thrombi, coronary bypass (LIMA to LAD), mediastinal mass excision, thymectomy, epicardial lead placement and pericardial window.
• Structural Heart
The Structural Heart Program at Emory's Heart & Vascular Center is a collaborative effort involving Emory interventional cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons working together to provide innovative heart treatment solutions and the best possible outcomes for our patients with structural heart diseases, including valve disorders such as aortic stenosis and regurgitation and structural heart defects such as atrial septal defects (ASD).
• Thoracic Surgery
The Emory General Thoracic Surgery Center has developed and refined various treatments for disorders of the structures and organs of the chest, particularly the lungs and esophagus. Emphasizing and applying minimally invasive methods whenever appropriate, the center is one of only a handful of clinical programs in the country that offers minimally invasive esophagectomy, lobectomy, and sympathectomy for hyperhidrosis.

At each of the City Council's stated meetings, council members introduce bills, most of which will never become laws (for the process by which bills become laws, click here). As a regular feature, Gotham Gazette discusses some of the legislation proposed at each meeting.
At its most recent stated meeting on October 25, the City Council introduced several bills and proposed resolutions related to pay raises for elected officials, education, state services for children and families, military reservists' eligibility for the NYPD, and bicycle lanes.
Speaker Christine Quinn joined with several other council members to introduce legislation that would result in a 25 percent increase in the council's salaries, as recommended by a recent mayoral commission. The bill, Intro 458, also recommends pay raises for the mayor, public advocate, borough presidents, comptroller, and district attorneys.
Councilmember Letitia James was active last week, proposing two bills related to education and three resolutions calling for reform of the state's children and family services.
Intro 459 addresses a concern by James' office that enrollment in the city's elite specialized high schools is not reflective enough of diversity in the population. The bill would require the city's Department of Education to report to the council on programs that prepare students for these schools, which include the Bronx High School of Science and Stuyvesant High School. These annual reports by the department would detail student enrollment, completion of the programs, and acceptance into specialized schools, all broken down by race and gender.
The councilmember's office also expressed concern that many public school districts in the city aren't up to speed with the condition of their science facilities. Intro 460 calls for the Department of Education to provide annual reports to the council on the laboratory equipment and facilities in public school district.
Resolution 579 urges the state legislature to pass the Safe Harbour for Exploited Youth Act, which would call for more sympathetic treatment and services for sexually exploited children. James also proposed Resolutions 580 and 581, which call for reform of the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. The first calls for the creation of the Office of the Child Advocate to oversee the agency, while the second asks for legislation that would prohibit discrimination and harassment in the facilities and require its administrators to become more conscious of such abuses.
Councilmember Miguel Martinez proposed Intro 463, which responds to many frustrated military reservists who do not meet requirements to apply to the NYPD. Current city law requires applicants to have either a high school diploma with two years of full-time U.S. military service or to have completed 60 college credits. The proposed law would enable applicants with six years of honorable part-time service in the military reserves, with a high school diploma, to qualify for the NYPD.
Councilmember David Weprin proposed Resolution 587 to prevent what his office says are poorly planned and unsafe bicycle lanes in his and other districts. The resolution calls on the city to plan with significant input from community boards, which know best how bicycle lanes fit into the neighborhoods.

The cast of Entourage, including Adrian Grenier, Kevin Connolly and Jeremy Piven, hitting the town for a guys' night out. First up: the crew attended an event for AG Jeans at the clothing line's boutique in L.A., where Grenier sweetly danced with a friend's young daughter. Later, Grenier, Connolly and costar Kevin Dillon continued the party at West Hollywood lounge Winston's. "It was like a scene out of Entourage," a clubgoer tells us. "They were huddled at the bar, sipping beers, checking out the babes and having a manly good time."
