Note: This article has been updated for iPhone 4S -- check out the new top 10 apps for iPhone post to see the !
Just switch to iPhone or Verizon iPhone? Also check out:
Social apps: Facebook for iPhone
Facebook is one of the most popular sites on the web, so any wonder it's once of the most popular apps on iPhone? Sometimes we suspect people live almost entirely in the Facebook app -- at least until the phone rings! Sure, you can go to Facebook's mobile site in Safari but the app offers so much more functionality, from picture uploads to easy Facebook Places and Groups access, it's earned its place on our home screens. [Free - iTunes link]

- LinkedIn for iPhone, for business users. [Free - iTunes link]
- Twitter for iPhone, for frequent tweeters. [Free - iTunes link]
Casual games: Angry Birds
Angry Birds is the undisputed king of casual gaming and an addictive puzzler in the best tradition of the genre. Evil green pigs have stolen your eggs and your birds aim to get them back -- with slingshots, explosives, boomerangs, and other manner of weaponized avian fury. Kill all the pigs to clear a level, do it with style and earn the elusive 3-stars. It starts off easy but ramps up quickly as the minutes turn to hours. You've been warned! [$0.99 - iTunes link]
Also check out:
- Cut the Rope for some physics puzzle fun. [$0.99 - iTunes link]
- Plants vs. Zombies for relentless action. [$2.99 - iTunes link]
Communication/IM apps: Skype for iPhone
Skype for iPhone lets you make Skype-to-Skype calls for free, and if you have Skype credits, Skype-to-phone calls very cheaply. Thanks to the latest version of iOS, it can also run in the background so it can answer Skype calls just like a real phone (though it will decrease battery life). They're slow to update but they're the standard for VoIP (voice over iP) and a great way to cut down on phone bills. [Free/credits - iTunes link]
- BeeJiveIM, if you just want chat, supports AIM/MobileMe, MSN/Windows Live, Yahoo!, GoogleTalk, Facebook, MySpace and Jabber [$9.99 - iTunes link]
- Google Voice for iPhone lets you access your calls, texts, and voice mail. [Free - iTunes link]
Time management games: Smurf's Village
Sure, the ultimate goal of building the best village is just the same as other games, but Smurfs' Village also has a story line. After each level increase, there's dialogue and a quest, and also mini games you can play to earn more experience. The graphics are great and the gameplay is smooth. Smurfs' Village is free but some items require smurfberries which are available as an in-app purchase. Smurfberries can also be used to speed up the growth of plants and construction of buildings. Universal app - download once, use on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. [Free - iTunes link]
Also check out:
- Farmville to bring your Facebook farm to iPhone. [Free - iTunes link]
- We Rule to build the perfect palace. [Free - iTunes link]
Productivity apps: Documents to Go Premium
While the iPhone's screen is a bit small to handle all your business or school work, the ability to edit Office files on the go can be a lifesaver. Documents to Go Premium lets you create, read, and edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files well enough to get the job done and will even open Mail attachments and sync files via iTunes or with Google Docs, Dropbox, Box.net, iDisk & SugarSync for the ultimate in mobile accomplishment. Universal app - buy once, use on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. [$16.99 - iTunes link]
- Good Reader is a powerhouse for PDF annotating and file management. [$2.99 - iTunes link]
- Evernote stores text, images, and audio for easy reference later. [Free - iTunes link]
Hardcore games: Infinity Blade
Epic's Unreal 3 engine explodes onto iPhone with Infinity Blade, an on-rails sword fighting extravaganza with some of the best visuals we've ever seen. The story and gameplay are simple if not simplistic, you battle a series of monsters and their God-King over generations, growing your power, magic, and skill until you're strong enough to win. It might sound repetitive but it quickly becomes as addictive as it is gorgeous. Universal app - buy once, use on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. [$5.99 - iTunes link]
Also check out:
- Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus for some CoD-style fun. [$6.99 - iTunes link]
- Real Racing 2 for amazing cars and online play. [$9.99 - iTunes link]
Music apps: Slacker Personal Radio
Thanks to the latest version of iOS, Slacker (and Pandora) can now run in the background which means you can stream all the music you like while surfing the web, using turn-by-turn navigation, answering email, or pretty much anything you want. Slacker requires a subscription and is currently only available in the US and Canada. [Free - iTunes link]
- Spotify for streaming music in Europe. [Free - iTunes link]
- Shazam to figure out what you're listening to. [Free - iTunes link]
Photography apps: Photo FX
The iPhone is the best camera because it's the one you most often have with you, but sometimes the photos you take with it will be rushed, a little dark, a little light, or otherwise a step or two away from perfect. Photo FX and their hundreds of filters and special effects can help fix that. It can't work miracles but it can make the difference between a shot you save and one you throw away. [$2.99 - iTunes link]
Also check out:
- Hipstamatic brings old-school feel to new world pictures. [$0.99 - iTunes link]
- Flickr for iPhone lets you store and share all the shots you take. [Free - iTunes link]
Utility apps: Find my iPhone
Previously you had to pay for MobileMe to get Find my iPhone but now it's free to everyone. Just download the app, set it up with your iTunes ID, and if you lose your iPhone (or it gets stolen) you can GPS locate it, make it beep or display a text message, remote lock it, and even remote wipe it so no one can get access to your personal data. Whether it's under some papers on your desk, back at the restaurant you just left, or in some bad guy's hands, Find my iPhone does just what the name says. Universal app - download once, use on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. [Free - iTunes link]
- Skyfire is a web browser that lets you watch some Flash videos on your iPhone. [$2.99 - iTunes link]
- RedLaser scans barcodes and finds you the best price online. [Free - iTunes link]
Location/GPS apps: NAVIGON MobileNavigator
Get full fledged turn-by-turn driving directions on your iPhone so you can keep your eyes where they belong -- on the road. NAVIGON provides on-board maps which means it's a huge download but it keeps working in areas where there's no data coverage. You can buy regional, country, or continents at a time, and there are also options for live traffic updates, parking directions, and enhanced panoramic views of the surroundings. [Various - iTunes link]
Also check out:
- Gowalla lets you "check in" to locations, keep track of your and your friends' locations, and earn badges for being there. [Free - iTunes link]
- Yelp provides restaurant, gas station, bar, and pretty much any type of business location and recommendations. [Free - iTunes link]

COD Zombies?? Meh....
Jeremy rocking the Stern Show tweet.
Slacker Radio is fantastic!
Pandora and TomTom works fantastically now that they have multitasking abilities! Nice post :)
I was curious, I reviewed the Top 5 Travel Apps that you did in April of this year (http://www.tipb.com/2010/04/17/top-5-iphone-travel-apps/). I noticed that you mentioned Navigon (I am not including AT&T's, since there's a monthly fee).
However, in this one, you mention TomTom. I really am liking the look of the TomTom, but was curious, is the new maps (2011, 2012, etc.) going to be included as an App Update, or will it be an in-app purchase?
I am awaiting a response from TomTom, but was wondering if anyone here knew.
Baba Booey!!!!...It's good to know that TiPb are followers of the Stern Show as well...maybe now he'll break down and get one, because he sees how much he loves his iPad already...
Twitterific 3.0 (Universal Binary) is out now as an alternative to Twitter for iPhone that is iOS4-ready.
I'm not that impressed with Angry Birds. I mean, it's a cool game, but I didn't think it was THAT awesome. Surely not awesome enough to be top seller for this long and get this much coverage... but I guess being $.99 and getting some press probably helps that too.
Anybody havin a hard time downloading apps?? Facebook finally downloaded but won't open
How about iMovie?? hmmm...
I agree with ack154 regarding Angry Birds. It was fun for a while and I open it occasionally to play a round or two but I don't understand why it's so popular.
I think they named TomTom because the TT 4.0 update has already been released and we're still waiting on Navigon (which doesn't work much if you have the 3D maps installed). Maybe version 1.6 of Navigon will bump up their desirability factor.
I prefer motion x drive. It is half the price and has a very good interface. It was also updated yesterday.
There is one inaccuracy with this article with respect to TomTom. After speaking with various powers that be, it seems that the GPS with doesn't fully work as explained without a 3G service.
Essentially i would like to trade up my iPad WIFI for thie iPad WIFI+3G with NO data service just to benefit the built in GPS for TomTom, however all my experimentation has failed.
Why pandora is not available in UK?
Angry Birds has the opportunity of looking AWESOME with the new Retina Display, I was actually looking forward to it, but it still looks like crap on the iPhone 4. Please fix the graphics.
hey! wait a second?! how come you have a... i dnt know how to say it but its on the top right bar on the screen??? HMmm(jailbrocken??)
I love angry birds! they keep coming out with new levels and gobs of new stuff. love it each time the little red icon say I have an update :) I read about a cheat on http://iphone4topapps.com/ that said that on level 2-8 you can get a bonus egg that unlocks a hidden feature but it doesn't work? Anyone know?
Great list of apps for our nice iPhone 4's!
I also just released a new application that is for the iPhone 4 only that takes advantage of a new technology for monitoring locations without high battery usage.
LocationMinder on the iTunes App Store allows you to set simple location based reminders. The location can be set by searching for a business, by address, or manually on a map. This reminder is then delivered the next time you are near that area. The advantage is that it uses a new technology only in the iPhone 4 that continuously monitors your location without the high power of GPS. The application also does not need to be running to receive the reminder. I would love some feedback on the application. You can find it here at this link-
Great list,
Any updates on this??
I just thought I would let you know your comment form was acting up
Great post! I have been wondering for a while exactly how you might start improving their own The company position and now i know. Nevertheless, i would would rather invest my time on more productive duties.
Twitter iPhone app
Twit Pro is full-featured, super-fast Twitter client for iPhone & iPod-Touch with powerful functionality for directly posting messages, photos, videos from iPhone, handling multiple twitter accounts, aggregating the hottest stories on twitter, offline-mode, uploading videos/photos to facebook and much more..
Click here to download from iTunes at: http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=319726...
Stupidstupidstupid .
I just thought I would let you know your site is loading very slow
I have an iPad and have a question. How do you uninstall apps? Sometimes I download apps that turn out to be less than I thought. I'd rather get rid of them.
To Carolt, just maintain your finger on the app until it starts shaking and a black circle with an "X" appears on the top left corner of the app, press the circle and the app will be deleted from the iPad.
i would like to see more apps that arnt also on android. dont try to convince me to switch when every app you say i need i can already do.
If you just got an iPhone and you'd like a few more suggestions in addition to the excellent ten identified in this article, might I suggest:
Twitter (free
Fruit Ninja (game, .99)
iBooks and/or Kindle and/or Stanza (ebook reader, free)
Flixster (movie info., free)
Cut the Rope (game, .99)
Yahoo Sportacular (sports scores, free or paid pro version)
PS Express (photoshop app, free)
Wallpapers (wallpapers for the iPhone 4, free)
Dropbox (online file storage, free, and a must-have to be sure)
Articles (wiki app, $2.99)
Reeder (rss feed reader, $2.99)
Instapaper (read web pages offline, $4.99)
WebMD (medical info., free)
YP Mobile (yellow pages, free)
Amazon mobile (free)
eBay (free)
Google Mobile (search the web on your iPhone, free)
Remote (if you have Apple TV, for example, free)
Brightest Flashlight Pro (use the flash as a flashlight, .99)
Certainly there are more great apps, but here's some to get you started on your new phone.

Navigon is still around? They pioneered "reality view" but my gps from them shipped without a traffic antenna, they cheated me out of my rebate and my ac charging adapter was for power in Germany. This ap is overpriced compared to the alternatives.
nice one

These styles will be hitting a school hallway near you! Find out here how to rock the hottest looks for fall.
By Liz Doupnik
Skirts are your best bet when it comes to pulling off this trend. Checked, plaid, and bold colors (especially yellow and red!) in simple, A-line versions will help you channel your inner Cher Horowitz. (P.S. Mini skirts are totally key to scoring this look, just make sure they're not too teeny for class!)
Pins and Needles Jacquard Skirt, $49, Urban Outfitters
You never know who'll you run into when you're cruising through the hallway! With a bright-colored blazer, not only will you catch your crush's eye, but you'll also look completely classy. (Bonus: it totally balances any mini-skirt action you might be rocking!)
BB Dakota Arlene Blazer, $41.99, 6PM
A crisp oxford shirt looks put-together without trying too hard! To look extra edgy, button your blouse all the way up to the collar and throw on a chunky necklace! Tuck in your top or choose one that's boyish, boxy, and slighlty cropped. You'll score some major style points.
Short-Sleeve White Shirt, $36, Topshop
These sky-high heels were made for making school your stomping ground (and your toes will thank you later!) Mary Jane and t-strap styles make this look a home run. Don't worry if your kicks are open-toe and you're wearing socksit'll still look super cute! Extra tip: Keep the pattern and hue of your shoes minimal since your outfit has a lot of action!
Sandals, $29.95, H&M
You'll be looking way better than 'Whatever' carrying a super cute, clear bag! Store your essentials in one place without rummaging. (Extra perk: you get to show off your awesome tech cases even when you're not using them!)

Amen. Debate 101, right there. If only the rules of logic and debate were more seriously studied before people ran off to the Internet to spread their various flavors of ill-considered positions, from groupthink to the more "unique" inanities.
Heh. There's a reason I tend to speak in terms of 'my position'. I've taken a few logic and debate classes. I'm good at it, but it's harder over the internet. There are no rules here, and no one cares about what actually, you know, makes sense? While there is an art to twisting and ignoring facts in debate, there are proper and improper ways to do it.

Introducing the Canon EOS 5D Mark III digital SLR camera. With supercharged EOS performance and stunning full frame, high-resolution image capture, the EOS 5D Mark III is designed to perform. Special optical technologies like the 61-Point High Density Reticular AF and an extended ISO range of 100-25600 (expandable to 50 (L), 51200 (H1) and 102400 (H2) make the EOS 5D Mark III ideal for shooting weddings in the studio or out in the field, and great for still photography. Advanced professional-level high definition video capabilities (that includes a host of industry-standard recording protocols and enhanced performance) make it possible to capture beautiful cinematic movies in EOS HD quality. A newly designed 22.3 Megapixel full-frame Canon CMOS sensor, Canon DIGIC 5+ Image Processor, and shooting performance up to 6.0 fps provide exceptional clarity and sharpness, even when capturing rapidly-unfolding scenes. Additional technological advancements include an Intelligent Viewfinder, Canon's advanced iFCL metering system, High Dynamic Range (HDR), and Multiple Exposure mode — all of which help make the EOS 5D Mark III the perfect multimedia tool.

Union leader raises fears for rail jobs on West Coast Mainline
Last updated at 12:42, Wednesday, 01 August 2012
Dozens of rail jobs could hinge on the outcome of a multi-million pound contest to pick the next company running train services on the West Coast Mainline, it has been claimed.
That's the message from Craig Johnston, Carlisle's full-time rail union chief, who has echoed concerns made by Bob Crow, leader of the national Rail, Maritime and Transport Worker's Union (RMT).
The 14-year franchise to run services on the train lines between Glasgow, Carlisle and London, will be picked this month by the Government.
Existing operator Virgin holds the contract until December 9, having run it since privatisation in the 1990s.
It along with newcomer, Aberdeen-based First Group, are the two front-runners bidding, which would see the winner pay around £2 billion to the Government over the franchise lifetime.
But the RMT claim rail industry insiders say First Group are in pole position and would introduce 20 per cent cost cuts along the route.
Mr Johnston says that if this is the case, it would impact on the 150 or so workers across stations at Carlisle, Penrith and Oxenholme.
He said: "It looks from the information that we are receiving that First Group is the preferred bidder.
"We have learned that a rail company has been trying to get costings to rip out onboard shops and catering services.
"If Virgin wins the contract, for us that will be bad enough. It's ridiculous a company like First Group can come in and make a fast buck. We have already lost jobs at Carlisle ticket office."
He believes onboard crew like train managers and shop staff serving the public, as well as employees welcoming and arriving trains on platforms and those serving passengers in ticket offices along the three main stops could be hit.
Mr Johnston added that it would also put the Catering Depot based at Carlisle Railway Station at risk which services stopping trains with food, drink and staff.
Niall Dodds, of First Group, refused to be drawn on the issue or challenge Mr Johnstone's claims.Mr Dodds said: "We do not comment on speculation or market rumours of any kind. All decisions relating to the tendering of rail franchises are the responsibility of the Department for Transport (DoT)."
Ian Napier, of the DoT, said: "We are currently evaluating bids for the West Coast franchise and as it is a live competition we will not be making any comment on this matter."

Have your say
Well theres a surprise, union leaders stirring things and putting fear into peoples minds again. The unions are causing this country more trouble than they are worth at the moment, they are hindering rather than helping.
Here's a radical idea - why don't we take it into public ownership and run it for the benefit of the people on a not for profit basis?

In addition to what everyone else has said, I like how they balance the modern setting with the original stories. They aren't just showing the original stories, just set a century later, which is good, because many wouldn't make sense now. For example, people rarely call each other by their last names any more, and pocket watches are replaced with smart phones. Coincidentally, there is again a war in Afghanistan. But it's not so loosely based making it easy to tell that the plots were derived from the original stories.
If the characters were nameless, I would have said this was inspired by the X-Files (another show that this won't be nearly as good as) before I thought of Sherlock.
I don't care what CBS does with its othis de series, as long as this development doesn't push the BBC to dumb down the new series of Sherlock or rush it or make it more PC or modify it in any way. Apparently Sherlock has been sold to 180 territories worldwide. In the big picture, increasing the US audience by a couple of million should not be a defining target.
Well, at least Jonny Lee Miller is pretty. . .
Another great thing about Sherlock is Andrew Scott as Moriarty. He is so terrifying in his calm and twisted manner. One can understand why Sherlock is terrified by him. "The Final Problem" was so unnerving right from the beginning, because you cannot imagine what Moriarty could do just because he's bored. He is one of the greatest villains I've seen on screen.
Edited to remove a spoiler. Sorry! How can you wait though? The DVD is available.

Oh, excited to see this thread. I love Sherlock. What makes it for me is the acting and the chemistry between the leads. Freeman in particular is amazing. I love the characterization of Watson as quietly confident and competent. You can tell that he is amazed by Sherlock's intellect but he has enough self-confidence to not be threatened by it at all. The writing is top-notch, great modernization and tons of smart tricks like the text messages appearing on the screen instead of having to show the cell phone.
SpoilerI had big problems with the depiction of Irene Adler in the second series. The first part of the episode with her was great, and I liked the twist of her being a dominatrix. But why make her work for Moriarty? That just ruined her character I think. And don't even get me started on how she develops a crush on Sherlock even though she is gay (gay people do not just become straight when they encounter "the right person"!), ends up nearly beheaded by terrorists and has to have big strong Sherlock rescue her. (How the hell does blue-eyed Sherlock sneak into a Pakistani terrorist cell anyway??) It just doesn't sit well with me because as written, Irene Adler beats Sherlock, soundly and without question. She is one of the only people to ever do so. In the show, however, she is beaten so far down. I hate it both from a feminist point of view and a canon fan point of view. It's too bad because the actress who plays her does a fantastic job with what she's given.
OMG that is hilarious. In my wildest dreams I would not put these two together.
Okay, that's priceless.
I'm allowed to laugh, right?
ETA: Plus I'm a dolt and read "Others who look like Benedict Cumberbatch" so the otters were extra surprising!
That is hi-larious I think I like the surprised one the best.
btw - in other "Elementary" news, Aidan Quinn has been cast as Captain Gregson of the NYPD, who worked with Holmes in the UK. Gregosn was actually the name of one of the Scotland Yard Inspectors in the Canon, so that's a nice tip of the hat.
Fave bit (other than the photos, obviously): "Quite clearly then, the philosophical question has been finally put to bed: this is in fact why the internet was first created. It is indeed almost as important now as life itself, and so deliberations into its reasoning play an integral role in society today. Now, we know. This is it. This is why."

How I'm looking forward to it.

Just curious how things are going. From my perspective, I see the widescreen format is missing, and the ability to add emoticans to a post is also missing. Maybe others are aware of other missing items.
Any idea as to when everything will be finished. Thanks for all that you do.

The Underrated Max Kepler?
by, 11-07-2012 at 02:17 PM (3028 Views)
Last year, in 2011, MLB.com rated Max Kepler as the the #11 prospect in the system. After the 2012 season and June draft, several glitzy players moved ahead of the #11 spot, but Kepler moved DOWN to the #18 position. I did not agree with his descent on this list at that time. So, I felt obligated to highlight what Kepler did last summer as a 19-year-old in Rookie ball.
After a year in 2011 where he was a skinny 18-year-old with a .366 SLG%, Kepler was given another shot at the same level in 2012. He consequentially blossomed given this opportunity! This kid raised his average from .262 to .297 and crushed 10 home-runs in 59 games. He led the league in SLG% (.539) and was 2nd in OPS (.925) thanks to 16 doubles and 5 triples. He struck out just 33 times in 232 at-bats while posting a .387 OB% (6th in league). Basically, he was easily a top-5 hitter in the Appalachian League.
It looks like he is a year behind Sano/Rosario, and will probably spend the entire summer in Cedar Rapids in 2013. With a ton of great outfielders in the Twins minor league system, Maximilian will have to wait his turn and probably never advance more than one level per-year (if he's lucky). But this new-found power stroke and excellent plate discipline is very encouraging for his future and could allow for a level-per-year minor league career with plenty of MLB seasons for the now 19-year-old.
As a 20-year old in Cedar Rapids, he will surely be asked for his share of autographs. And rightly so, since he has a lofty enough ceiling to have at least remained at the #11 spot on the Twins' prospect list. I would rate him right below J.O. Berrios at #9, as I believe his potential exceeds what Benson and Morales have as MLB outfielders.
No matter what he is rated by MLB.com, our boy Kepler gives us insurance if they do something drastic like trade Hicks or Arcia for pitching prospects in the next year or so. I vote to move Max up quickly and see what he's made of...if he can continue to get better (at this age he should), he will make a terrific outfield option (even in CF) for a few minor league managers on his way (quickly I hope) to Minnesota.
P.S. Imagine Maximilian in LF, Buxton in center, and Arcia in right at Target Field...I have Max rated at #7 following 2013.

"Stealing this one should put it under her command. She thought.
Well, she hoped..."
This sounds like even Jillian isn't 110% sure of all of Erfworld's mechanics, like maybe she wasn't positive of how ownership of boats works.
I'm trying to think of another example of an Erfworlder not understanding mechanics, and the only other example I remember is King Slately's double not knowing which unit (the double or the original) disappears when croaked.
So maybe everyone was being a bit harsh on Parson back in book 1 when he was questioning all the rules of Erfworld (albeit he was asking about some of the more fundamental things). Dunno.

A reserves strategy to be proud of
Friday, 12 July 2013
Hampshire County Council has set out in detail how it is spending its financial reserves to benefit residents
With cuts of around 40 per cent to the grant received from Government over four years, the Council has had to reduce its budget by £120m over the same period and now faces more cuts to come. These changes in funding from central Government mean the Council's reserves are in constant use. They are absolutely vital in meeting the challenges of maintaining high quality services at the lowest cost to taxpayers in the face of increasing demand, particularly for social care.
Council Leader Cllr Roy Perry asked for the details to be laid out in the report that comes before Cabinet on 22 July to explain how the Council's reserves are used as part of a deliberate strategy for dealing with this extended period of austerity.
The report demonstrates how the majority of the reserves - which stood at £418.8M on 31 March - are earmarked. Around half are fully committed to existing spending programmes. Other reserves are being spent in ways that generate savings and improve services over the longer term; investments that allow the Council to modernise and develop new ways to provide services, while securing quality and value. Examples include the development of Extra Care assisted living or the new technology that will support shared back-office functions with other organisations.
Councillor Perry said: "We will be using some reserves to cushion the impact of grant loss over the next few years, possibly up to 2020, but will do so in a well-planned, controlled way that allows for real transformation in the way we provide services. If we used reserves simply to prop up the budget in the short term they would be exhausted very quickly.
"We would be faced with some urgent, unplanned decisions to address cash shortfalls that would simply keep on growing. If we had not reduced our spending, the reserves would have dried up and we would have no means in the long term to make those reductions.
"Hampshire County Council has consistently implemented efficiency and savings proposals ahead of time, as well as achieving the full planned savings programme. The risks to services, that residents rely on, have never been so high and that's why using our reserves to fund investment and transformation is exactly what we should be doing and are doing. This is what puts Hampshire in a strong position to tackle the further reductions in Government funding and that's something to be proud of."

The in-betweener
You want a camera that has the quality and control to let you take pro-quality pictures. But at the same time, you want something convenient, something you can carry around with you. The camera you're looking for is the Canon SX150 IS. Available in red or black, this clever camera offers all the tools you need to take print-worthy pictures, in a package that will easily fit in your purse or bag. It has a 14-megapixel resolution, wide angle lens with 12x optical zoom, and optical image stabilization, so you can get crisp, clear shots with just the press of the shutter button. Better yet, it offers a multitude of manual modes and settings so you get the creative control you crave. But unlike other cameras, this one is small enough to carry with you all the time. Plus, it uses AA batteries, so when you run out of juice, you can easily replace them and keep shooting, no need to hunt for an outlet and wait.
What's in the box?
included with purchase is the camera, 2 disposable AA alkaline batteries, wrist strap, USB interface cable, and Digital Camera Solution CD-ROM.

I bought this camera as a gift for my daughter after graduating from high school last month. She needed a camera to take on trip and after doing a little research we felt this was going to be a good buy. My daughter tells me that she loves the camera. Shes still learning how to use all the features and is taking a ton of photos on her trip. I can't wait for her to come home so she can share those with us. If she loves the camera, I love the camera!

So, I am in college, it's not surprising that people living close by are trying to save money. It seems, especially if you live in an apartment complex, that almost anywhere you go, you can get free internet... from the neighbors. Some leave it open, some leave the password in the SSID, and, in any event, it's not terribly difficult to crack a WEP or WPA password.
I have a very biased opinion on this (comcast screws me over enough to not care if I am "stealing" from them, cause they've done it to me), so what do you think? Do, you think it's fair to share your internet with your neighbor? What about if you have one service, and he has the other and you trade... in case one goes down?

Verducci: On Nate Roberts in the AFL
I don't know what to think of Roberts exactly, but Verducci's writeup of him made me smile. To summarize:
1) He isn't toolsy
2) He's old for his leagues
3) But damn, he's been putting up numbers and
4) Seems to be good at being hit by pitches.
I don't know exactly what to do with all that, but it was interesting.

I'm not generally one to pile on the Twins for moving their prospects too slowly, but it really is curious that they left Roberts in Beloit all season. I guess you only move up if there are openings above you, but I'd have liked to see what he could have done at a higher level. I certainly liked what I saw of him the few Snappers games that I watched.
I wonder if, after the great AFL he had, the Twins might consider having him skip Ft Myers and start the season at AA. It would be a very un-Twinslike move, but at his age, you'd think they would want to accelerate his path just a bit.I opine about the Twins and Kernels regularly at Knuckleballsblog.com while my alter ego, SD Buhr covers the Kernels for MetroSportsReport.com.

I've tried to keep up with Roberts since he was drafted. A guy that leads the nation in runs and OBP intrigues (not to mention he left Northwestern). He's been hurt each year and Ryan wants to see him stay healthy before adding him in the mix of "top OF prospects" with Arcia, Hicks, Buxton, etc. If Rosario sticks at 2nd base (run producing bat), I believe Roberts' stock rises as a top-of-the-order left fielder. What was the OPS of all the 2-hole batters the Twins ran up there last year? Must be under .700 and my guess is closer .600. How many more runs would the Twins have scored if the 2-hole hitter got on base 40% of the time and didn't strike out much? I hope he tears it up this year and is in the Twins mix or 2014. Billy Beane probably loves this guy. Moneyball.
It seems obvious that he should be at AA.
Looking at the organizational depth...
AAA - Benson, Arcia, Hicks
A trade could happen to push one of them to the majors, but realistically these three need to play every day in AAA to begin the season.
AA - Ortiz, Morales, Ray
All three play high A at 22 last year. None of them tore it up. Morales struggled. All probably have better upsides than Roberts. Goncalves was also there at 23 and he will likely remain.
Should the Twins step Roberts ahead of one of the Fort Myers trio? By offensive performance, it would be Morales. However, Morales is a center fielder. Ortiz, Ray and Roberts fit better at the corners. Last year, they moved Goncalves up when Morales was out. Roberts would probably have to pass over Ray or Ortiz. I can see why the Twins would be reluctant to make that move.
The Twins could keep all 4 at AA and rotate DH. I think that slows everyone's progress.
What if one of AAA players moves up to the majors? Could Roberts step up to AAA? Maybe.
While it seems obvious that Roberts is prepared to skip a level, there are implications for the other younger corner outfielders in the organization.
I suspect that if the Twins feel that Roberts is ready for AA, he will be there. Ray can play 1B or be a DH unless someone less needs to be fitted in there. In any case I don't think he is that highly regarded as a prospect. I am not sure Ortiz is either, and Morales has downgraded his status the last couple of years. So, you put your best prospects where they need to be and you fit everyone else in around them. If Ortiz or Morales needs to start the year at Fort Myers because Roberts needs to be at AA and is considered the better prospect right now, so be it.
I don't think they will put Roberts in CF so it is Ray or Ortiz. Both did enough to progress to AA. Ray can play 1B, but if they think he has the ability to play corner OF, they should keep him there.
They do need to put forth who they think has the higher upside. Roberts' age will make that difficult to discern. I do think he would be the choice to go to AAA if there were a need.
One other point about this, sometimes it doesn't matter so much where a prospect plays as much as that he gets to play. I mean you don't want to bury a highly regarded OF as a 4th OF at AA if you can move him back to High-A and let him play everyday. This was implied before in this thread, but I thought I would just say it.
During the summer there was a thread complaining about the Twins not promoting a couple of catchers who were hitting well. The problem would of been, the Twins would of ended up with 2 catchers at the same level who they both wanted to be playing nearly everyday.
I really have no idea how Ortiz, Morales and Roberts compare as prospects. I do know that Ortiz as played a lot in CF. I think there should be some flexibility here to get the better prospects to the level they should be. I also think that the Twins like to reward performance. So they very well may push Roberts to AA, particularily because of his age and his performance in the AFL.

It absolutely matters where they play, since you move up one rung at a time in this organization (and most). It matters if you are 24 and in low A. I am not sure I understand your statement. There is a difference in the ability of the players at different levels (obviously), and you know a lot more about a guy and his ability if he's actually challenged, rather than facing guys that just don't have the stuff.Lighten up Francis....

Any player can get hot for 6 weeks, so there's good reason to be cautious. Given that the bulk of the talent he faced was AA/AAA type talent, starting him in New Brittian cannot be the worst thing. None of the OFers out there (assuming Rochester has Arcia, Hicks, and Benson) really strike me as guys that we are going to be drooling over... may as well give him a shot to actually be a prospect.

I think he will be a rare exception of a guy that the Twins have skip a level. It is very unusual for a hitter in the Twins system.I think that Rene Tosoni is the last player to skip Low A.
I'm very curious how the rosters play out there... I wouldn't be at all surprised if Hicks and/or Arcia start 2013 in New Britain and spend a month there. Danny Ortiz could spend another half-season in FT. Myers. Morales needs to be pushed to New Britain where, for some reason, I think he'll become a decent offensive player again, and he is a terrific CF. Ray should move up, but as mentioned, he could play some 1B.
This is roughly the MiL depth chart for the Twins: Hicks, Arcia, Benson, Tosoni, Ramirez, Bigley, Morales, Ortiz, Roberts, Goncalves, Kepler, Jimenez, Pimentel, Pineda, Williams, Rhodes, Rodriguez, Buxton, Walker, Larson.
I think that, to survive, players like Tosoni, Bigley, Jimenez, Pimentel, and Pineda will have to establish themselves somewhere outside the OF, at least part time (1B is obvious for some of them, 2B ideal for others). Goncalves and Rhodes are probably going nowhere fast. Morales and Williams really have something to prove this year or else they will join Goncalves and Rhodes.
I do not want the Twins to pack older players at Rochester for "veteran experience" (dude, your only a veteran if you actually are good and play some significant time in the majors . . . ) and whatever else nonsense excuse they will give. I would rather have the top 8-10 level-weighted OF prospects at AAA and AA.
Tosoni is a FA
Chris Hermann also skipped low A
Stunned by the possibility Arcia & possibly Benson start in New Brit
Dont stunt Roberts in FSL....let him face better competition for sure. Hindred by bein only a corner OF

I remember a few years ago, Pat Neshek got as far as AA, and then was sent back to High-A. He proceeded to dominate that level and was quickly promoted. That is always the answer for any prospect, dominate the level you are at and you will be promoted.
You may be correct about Rory Rhodes - going nowhere fast. Have you seen him play? Are there scouting reports classifying him as a non prospect? At 20, it is awful early to classify him.
His power was referenced in the recent Beyond the Box Score podcast prospect discussion.

If there is such a logjam of OF talents in the minors, maybe the "brains" of the Twins operation should try to turn some of it into SP and MI as there seems to be not such logjam.
That is a shame about Tosoni. I don't think Evan Bigley is more worthwhile to have around, certainly. Maybe Clete Thomas is just too important (please tell me he is gone too).
anyway, Jorgenswest, Rhodes is 21.5 years old now and was not good at all at Beloit in limited time.

Europe faces an interesting set of immigration challenges and opportunities: Demographic pressures as many European societies age, a lively and at times tense policy and political debate over questions of identity and immigrant integration, and a unique policy environment that has knit 28 European countries together with regards to the management of outer borders, asylum, and other immigration-related topics. MPI has long conducted research and analysis of European policy on topics ranging from labor mobility and border security to immigrant integration, citizenship, and foreign qualifications recognition, which can be found below.
There's no getting around the fact that integrating immigrants costs money. That explains why recession-battered European countries, as well as a number of U.S. states, made cuts to programs affecting immigrants in 2009 and again in 2010.
Europe's largest minority group has long faced discrimination, but France's deportation of Roma as part of its security policies has sparked criticism from the European Union and human rights groups. Kristi Severance explains how the situation has evolved in recent months, the relevant EU laws, and how Europe is likely to move forward.
Since joining the European Union in 2004, Poland has experienced one of the largest emigration flows in its postwar history. But the country has also received thousands of immigrants and refugees, mainly from its eastern neighbors, and is just beginning to invest in immigrant integration. Krystyna Iglicka and Magdalena Ziolek-Skrzypczak look at all aspects of migration in Poland in this updated profile.
In its newest five-year "roadmap" for justice and home affairs policy, the European Union has made migration a priority area. But while the Stockholm program offers plenty of detail on issues like illegal migration and asylum, it offers few specifics as to the final goal. MPI's Elizabeth Collett analyzes the program's action points and looks at challenges facing its implementation.
Swiss voters strongly approved a popular initiative to ban the construction of minarets in Switzerland. Julie Schindall reports on reaction to the vote and explains how the Swiss system makes such lawmaking possible.
While free movement is at the heart of the European project, the merits and impacts of intra-EU mobility have come under significant scrutiny recently amid public anxiety about competition for jobs and exploitation of welfare systems. This report provides a detailed assessment of free movement, motivations for migration, and challenges countries may need to address as intra-EU mobility enters its next phase.
Across the Atlantic, large-scale migration has brought about unprecedented levels of diversity, transforming communities in fundamental ways — with a resulting immigration backlash and criticism of "multiculturalism." This volume delivers recommendations on what policymakers must do to build and reinforce inclusiveness given the realities on each side of the Atlantic.
How the anti-immigrant political movement and rancorous debates surrounding immigration will impact countries' ability to build strong economies and vibrant, diverse societies is yet to be determined. This discussion focuses on the factors and players that contribute to this environment, an analysis on the current situation in both Europe and the United States, and a discussion on its implications for community cohesion and national identity in European countries and the United States.
This report focuses on the development of children of Black immigrants in the United States, comparing against the outcomes for their peers in native-born and other immigrant families.
