UNCG adds inductees for 2010 to Athletics Hall of Fame
GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNCG enshrined former men's tennis standout Alex Lehnhoff, women's soccer star Raila Maisonlahti, former administrator Ty Buckner and the members of the 1994 Spartan baseball squad into the Athletics Hall of Fame on Saturday.
Lehnhoff was the 1999 Southern Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Year as a senior, going 24-7 that year. He was ranked as high as No. 24 in the ITA's Southeast Region in singles and No. 12 in doubles that season. He was also a top-70 player nationally. As a junior, he won the Southern Conference's No. 1 flight singles titles. Lehnhoff won a school-record 27 matches in 1996-97, a mark that stood until Orcun Seyrek's 28 wins last season. He went 94-37 in singles play during his Spartan career and also won more than 60 matches in doubles play.
As a sophomore, Lehnhoff was the first Spartan to ever qualify for the main draw at the Rolex Championship. He was the Big South's Rookie of the Year in 1996 and earned All-Big South Conference honors twice and All-SoCon honors twice. The native of Guatemala, now makes his home in Aventura, Fla.
Raila Maisonlahti Harris was a part of one of the most successful eras in UNCG women's soccer history. During her four seasons (1994-97), the Spartans compiled a 59-23-4 mark, including a perfect 22-0-0 record in Big South and Southern Conference play. As a senior, she led the Spartans to an NCAA tournament first-round upset of Duke in Durham, N.C., 3-1. That 1997 squad set school marks for wins (19), shutouts (13), overall points, goals and assists.
A defender from Lahti. Finland, Maisonlahti was the Big South Rookie of the Year in 1994 and an all-conference selection in 1995 (Big South), 1996 (Big South) and 1997 (Southern Conference). She was the Big South Tournament MVP in 1996 and earned NSCAA third-team all-region honors in 1997. She currently makes her home in Matthews, N.C.
Buckner, who helped build the foundation of the Athletics Hall of Fame, served as the school's first-ever full-time sports information director when the university was transitioning from Division III to Division II to Division I. He began his duties while going to school for his undergraduate degree. After graduating in 1984, he took on full-time roles beginning with the title of SID, moving eventually into a senior administrative role as the school's associate athletic director of public affairs.
Buckner was instrumental in working with the Greensboro Sports Commission to form the Tom Ward Basketball Luncheon series, which features five area colleges and universities in weekly media gatherings. He also helped to build the first commercial radio network for basketball broadcasts and the first athletics website.
Currently, Buckner serves as associate vice president for communications and marketing at Guilford College. While serving at Guilford, Buckner has remained active with UNCG, serving on the Athletics Hall of Fame's selection committee, including a stint as chair from 2001-07. He was enshrined on the UNCG Soccer Stadium's Wall of Honor in 2004.
The 1994 Spartan baseball squad became the first team in school history to record a victory in an NCAA tournament at the Division I level. A program in just its fourth year of existence, the Spartans went 39-18 on the way to a Big South Conference title. The squad went 2-2 at the NCAA South Regional, defeating Southeast Louisiana and Tulane while falling twice to national power Southern California, to finish third in the six-team regional hosted by LSU.
Coach Mike Gaski was named the conference's coach of the year as Joey DeAngelis, Steve Matyczyk and Tonka Maynor earned all-conference honors. After hitting .379 with 37 stolen bases in 42 attempts that year, Maynor went on to becoming a 27th-round pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates later that summer. Tim Giles was named a Mizuno Freshman All-American that year, as well.
Beginning with the Charter Class that was inducted on Sept. 29, 2000, the UNCG Athletics Hall of Fame recognizes and honors those special individuals who, through their superior athletic achievements or by outstanding service, have made long-lasting, exemplary contributions to the UNCG athletics program. Persons to be recognized for the excellence of their achievements may include former student-athletes, coaches, administrators and other individuals who brought recognition and honor to both themselves and to UNCG.
Currently, UNCG's Hall of Fame includes 55 individuals, a small group of scholarship program supporters known as "The Big Five" and six teams. A complete list of previous Hall of Fame inductees is listed below with the years of their inductions.

You mentioned that you have an AMD CPU. I have an Intel Pentium. They must be optimized differently, because every time you take out the global variables and say you see a speed increase, I see a decrease. For example, the last code you gave me (with no globals) versus the code I just posted versus the code you just posted:Only 2 global variables - the other 2 take .001 seconds to make
New decoder - a lot faster
Using a test file, about 50K, on my P4M 2.2GHz:
Encode: 1.8 seconds -> 1.2 seconds -> 1.6 seconds
Decode: 2.4 seconds -> 1.6 seconds -> 2.1 seconds
So on my machine, your new code is almost as slow as your old code. Obviously our machines process differently. I think that's why you keep moving the tables to local variables and I keep putting them back in globals.

A Recipe for Hunger
My name is Elly Ahimidiwe and I am an ActionAid Activista from Tanzania campaigning on land rights and food security. This May and June, I have had the opportunity to come here to the UK to participate in the Enough Food For Everyone IF Campaign by highlighting the issue of landgrabbing in Tanzania for the purpose of growing biofuels.
Back in my country I witnessed many families suffering from malnutrition diseases like Kwashiorkor and Marasmus. That they don't have enough food to feed themselves is made more tragic when you consider that hunger like this is not always caused through drought or poor agricultural practices but often because the land these people have farmed for generations has been taken off them in landgrabs for companies to plant biofuels. I have seen the direct results of these practices and I am in the UK to urge your politicians to act now to change policies that incentivise using farmland to plant crops for fuel instead of crops for food.
The EU has a target of 10% of transport fuels to be met through renewable energy, mainly biofuels, by 2020. This drives multinational corporations to buy farm land in my community and then to use that land to plant biofuels for European instead of food for local people. This target helps create a more unjust world where people suffer from food scarcity, malnutrition, and hunger.
This week I will be taking my experiences to an event organized by the Enough Food For Everyone IF campaign as part of the UK government's Nutrition For Growth summit. A Recipe For Hunger will bring people together to talk about what causes hunger and malnutrition in developing countries. I will be there to tell the audience that the EU's biofuels targets are a cause of hunger and malnutrition in my country.

Benedicts Bishops: Bishop Kevin Vanns' Appointment to Orange Continues the Winning Roster
We are at an exciting time here in Orange: with the acquiring of what will be Christ Cathedral, we have the opportunity - with the gift of God that this is, as Bishop Brown has said - to continue to preach the Word of God here
Bishop Kevin Vann's appointment means that one more foundation stone is in place in a critical - and rapidly growing - Diocese in the United States of America. Benedict the Builder continues to fortify the Church with living stones. When this papacy is recounted in history, Pope benedict XVI's apostolic work will be credited with having re-secured the Catholic Church in a time of trial so that she could inaugurate the new missionary age of the Third Millennium. His appointment of Bishops is key to that entire undertaking.
Bishop Kevin W. Vann, JCD, DD
WASHINGTON, DC (Catholic Online) - In the wake of the announcement of Bishop James Conley's appointment to Lincoln, Nebraska we hear another announcement of good news, Bishops Kevin Vann of Fort Worth, Texas, will soon be the fourth bishop of Orange, California.
Benedict the Builder is placing the Foundation stones in place upon which will be built a firm foundation for the Church in the United States. She is being secured and made ready for the challenges we face. From the beginning of his service to the Church, Pope Benedict XVI has been about rebuilding the Church.
When this papacy is recounted in history, Pope Benedict XVI's apostolic work will be credited with having re-secured the Catholic Church in a time of trial so that she could inaugurate the new missionary age of the Third Millennium. His appointment of Bishops is key to that entire undertaking.
I believe that Pope Benedict XVI will also be credited with stemming the slide of western civilization into a new paganism. The Church is the only hope to preventing such a slide. She is not some irritant, preventing progress, she is the very path to authentic progress and human flourishing.
In continuity with the 2,000 year teaching of the Catholic Church and helping to ensure that the proper understanding of the Second Vatican Council within a hermeneutic of continuity, Pope Benedict XVI is re-securing the foundation stones of the Catholic Church in the United States in many ways.
His selection of Bishops proceeds from his unwavering conviction that the Catholic Church - and the message of authentic and true human progress which she offers the world - is what is most needed in this critical hour in human history.
What is happening in our Nation and the West constitutes a clash of worldviews, personal and corporate, involving competing definitions of human freedom, human flourishing and human progress. The positions being espoused and lifestyles being affirmed as "progressive" by some currently using the term as a political label are anything but. They turn the clock back on true human progress.
It is the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the fullness of which is found within the Catholic Church, that alone can paves the path to true progress!
Pope Benedict XVI is placing in pastoral leadership over the Catholic Church precisely the kind of Shepherds we need in this vital moment of Church history. He is leading the Catholic Church through a New Evangelization so that she can engage in a new missionary age. He just returned from another apostolic visit. While many would have delayed that visit to the Middle East, given the current dangers, he went right into the heart of it all! What a Pope!
Though things may seem to be getting darker, I believe - even more than I did on that day when I heard those words "Habemus Papem" - that Pope Benedict XVI is laying the foundation for the springtime that his predecessor, Blessed John Paul II, prophetically anticipated. I know that in some Catholic circles the notion of a "New Springtime" is mocked. I will not join the cynics.
Let's consider some points of hope. One example is the Personal Ordinariates for returning Anglicans represent the beginning of a great homecoming in the Western Church. It was Benedict the Builder who championed their return and made it possible. Archbishop Vann was integral to the implementation of the historic Ordinariate of the Chair of St Peter in the United States.
Pope Benedict drew the blueprint and championed the process, protecting orthodoxy and orthopraxy within a refreshing witness of legitimate diversity; offering a vision for the coming full communion of the Church more like the first Millennium.
We are witnessing under his papacy the beginnings of the longed for full communion of the Church, East and West, as the "two lungs" on the One Body of Christ begin to breathe together again in order to animate this new missionary age. Can it happen? Yes, it truly can, because it is the Will of the Lord. (John 17)
We are witnessing the recovery of the Catholic academy through the rebuilding of some institutions almost lost to the Church - and the building of new ones. We are seeing the flourishing of good, solid theological and philosophical work - along with a flourishing of the arts and human culture led by the Church - as we have seen in ages past.
This task of rebuilding the Church - so that she can win the world - has not been easy. And, it will probably become even more difficult. The old adage is true; it always seems darkest before the dawn. Those who wanted to try to change the teaching and doctrine of the Catholic Church are deeply disappointed.They were unsuccessful.
However, for those who hunger for a vibrant, faithful, dynamically orthodox ...

It appears that Orange is getting a strong and righteous leader. I pray that Ft Worth receives a quality Bishop as an even trade. I also pray that God continues to send more orthodox Catholic clergy to Sheppard the faithful toward Christ and holiness.

Orange is getting a very stalwart and faithful leader from us in Fort Worth. Bishop Vann will be missed. In regards to the sex scandals, he was a vigilant protector of the faithful, and he led the charge in investigations in order to restore the Church to her integrity here. Bishop Vann didn't show any cracks in his faith or diligence, and really took seriously his commitments to the Church. Orange couldn't ask for a better steward of our faith.
For Fort Worth, we look forward to our next shepherd, with expectation no less. God Bless... -

Not to forget the return of the Society of St. Pius X , a Saint & Prophet Himself, back to the fold, to bring back Prophecy to the Church as a testimony of Jesus, for the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy.

I'm sorry to hear that Bishop Vann is leaving Ft. Worth. Secularism has gotten its claws deep into the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I trust in the judgement of our good Papa Benedict, however, and pray God's blessings on Bishop Vann and the Diocese of Orange. May God grant that Bishop Vann's successor in Ft. Worth is as courageous and faithful.

Samsung sues Apple in Korea over Apple iPhone Notification Center
It is unknown whether Samsung is defending a patent it had received or whether it has enhanced an existing patent that some other company received before Apple launched its Notification Center. And that is the billion dollar question because Samsung cannot sue for something Google patented. Google recently received a Patent in the U.S. for the Android Notifications Center, but technically, Samsung cannot use that to sue Apple unless it was enhanced by Samsung or if it was sold to Samsung by Google.
Apple launched its Notification Center in 2011 for iOS 5 well after Android models had been shipping with a similar feature. The Notification Center on the Apple iPhone allows the user to drag down a screen that shows emails, texts and weather. Even the most die-hard Apple fan has to concede that Apple's legal team has its work cut out with this suit.

So nothing is going right for fruit...because season is changing and an era is coming to an end soon...!!!
Upcoming years will be the years of a real tech giant ----> Samsung
8. MeoCao (unregistered) posted on 22 Dec 2012, 03:26 2 8
I think that Google will license the Notification patent to Apple, Google is more like a business partner to Apple than an enemy. Google needs iOS to deliver their service, and some extra money does no harm.
Frankly I hope I'm wrong.
13. iDroidWin posted on 22 Dec 2012, 04:43 7 1
I think you are. Apple have pay a fees for using notification center. But, honestly, SS shouldn't fall to Apple's level by suing everything. Apple did it own its own.
32. Cynipap999 (banned) posted on 22 Dec 2012, 07:47 1 2
I think you are almost right, they will and should pay. Apple shouldn't be above their own tyrannical extortion methods. However, I do think as extra punishment, Tim Cook should get on his knees for Eric Schmidt; 'a little service please?!'
51. tedkord posted on 22 Dec 2012, 08:57 8 1
You wouldn't want Samsung to stoop to Apple's level, but when a bully keeps punching you over and over just because he's bigger, sometimes you have to throw some punches back, hoping to land one that's good enough to make him stop.
57. iDroidWin posted on 22 Dec 2012, 09:07 6 0
I don't support hypocrisy. Apple is one. Samsung is strong enough handle such situation. Apple is "trying" to bully him. I doubt SS needs such measures to fight Apple back. Infact, SS has landed a few punch. Its doing good in market, Premium Suite is awesome. I am using it. Leading in phablet category. But, apple getting a piece of its own medicine won't hurt.

My friend wake up here on PA itself Sales figures showed that Sammy is the leader in smartphones as they sold 59 million units whereas Apple was a far second with just 26 million units...so what lead exactly are you talking bout??

49. Cynipap999 (banned) posted on 22 Dec 2012, 08:50 7 2
He's right, the end is soon. It's Apple's own fault, they're playing in a rapidly changing and competitive market with a mindset of 2009; it's their own pompous attitude that will be their ultimate demise. I speak to more former iPhone owners on a daily basis now than ever before; they usually have opted for a GS3 or a Note 2.
Based on what they've said, they just got tired of the micro hardware updates; they wanted a bigger screen; they wanted a more powerful phone; they got tired of everything being proprietary; they're fed up with iTunes; or, all of the above.
The end is near: R.I.P. Apple!!
65. sithvenger (banned) posted on 22 Dec 2012, 09:48 3 2
Good points, I recently sold my ip5 and got the note 2 for those same reasons. Ip5's a solid device, but apple is holding it up with their restrictive nature.

I wasnt gonna say anything, now I am:
The more you post, the more you are looking like a fanboy, troll. Me and you dont agree on something, now I'm a fanboy? Thats not what a fanboy is. A fanboy and ppl that dont agree are 2.....totally....different things. Learn the difference between the 2 and stop labeling everyone that doesnt agree with you a fanboy, troll.
Ppl can agree to disagree, in case you didnt know. Know what fanboys do? They do like you, result to name calling and questioning the other person's education, grammer, etc. We can agree to disagree and the world wont explode.
Learn the definition of debate, fanboy, troll, opinion....then maybe we can try to have a sensible debate again. Until then.....pot...kettle.....black....
109. chaoticrazor posted on 23 Dec 2012, 12:08 0 2
mate again seeing as your only going at me and have never gone at any of the troll's like the above one shows your part of the problem. you will support the trolls that are on your make believe side but anyone questions or calls said trolls out and you will go for them trying to act like the vioce of reason and ignoring the real disrespectful person who has insulted many users. ''troll' right now is seen as a good troll as he is on your side. just like when apple was the majority there trolls were seen as the same.
when the numbers shift he will be subject to what he deserves and those that supported him i.e. you will also be seen as an aid in his trolling
if you wanna call someone out call all out and not just those that have questioned and disproved your claims on other articles. you were acting like a real fanboy couldnt accept solid facts and you kept dodging any questions that were put to you

mate now your just repeating what ive said to you, please try to be more original lol your just deflecting the issue and trying to turn the subject. the facts are you ignore any comment that disproves what you say and then repeat yourself like it means your right. you dont state any facts, all you did was try to put your opinion forward as fact theres a big difference.
but mainly theres no point continuing, your not able to have a real discussion and i doubt ever will be. its like talking to a wall
dont worry though your android back up will appear and support you. ofcourse you will not see a problem with that as its in your favour. as long as its in your favour you wont speak against it no matter how bad it it. one sided trying harder then anyone to convince people your not.
so dont bother repeating what ive directed at you back to me as if its your own. until you can actually give a proper comment with a real basis there isnt any point especially when you never answer whats put to you

I dont have to explain myself to you, but just to indulge you.....
I have made positive posts about Apple, I have asked questions about Apple things here n there. I say good things about WP here n there or just leave regular comments. I gave the orig iPhone props for something.....and that lead to a barrage of red thumbs.
I have gotten into a debate with a fan of Android......big fan... We didnt agree on a subject. Had nothing really to do with Android. Guess what happened? At some point we just let it go and moved on.
Please dont assume you know me and my posting style from a few posts or because we dont agree on something. Learn the definition of a fanboy, troll and try again when it comes to me, thanks.

From what I understand Google has been trying to patent the notification system but it has yet been granted. Either way, good on Samsung for at least trying because I dont care what the apple fanboys say, Apple blatantly stole that from Android.

I don't see any way that ANY Apple fan can defend this issue. Android has had this for years. I'm not familiar with the other OS's potentially having had it first, but I know for sure Android had this long before Apple added it to iOS 5.

Samsung has nearly 32,000 patents
Apple has nearly 1,900 patents,,,,,,,,,
now anybody can estimate who is going to sue whom?
41. kingpet13 posted on 22 Dec 2012, 08:31 2 0
I'd say Apple will sue Samsung for having a touchscreen on the phone. Then Apple will lose everywhere but in the U.S., and six months later Apple's patent will be invalidated. That is pretty much every patent case in the past year so the patern should continue.

Torrington softball uses good pitching, solid defense to beat Holy Cross (with video highlights, postgame interviews)
TORRINGTON — The Lady Raiders continue to play good softball, even when the pressure is on.
Torrington hosted Holy Cross on Friday in a key Naugatuck Valley League Copper Division matchup, and sophomore left-handed pitcher Sydney Matzko pitched brilliantly under the gaze of a University of North Carolina assistant coach. Matzko did her thing, giving up just two hits while striking out 13 and walking none in a 2-0 Torrington win. She threw 87 pitches.
When the Crusaders (7-8, 4-3 NVL Copper) did put the ball in play, the Raider (12-2, 7-0 Copper) defense ate it up.
Several Torrington defenders made solid plays, including first baseman Sara Heath. The sophomore has been working hard on her game.
"It feels really good," Heath said. "I've just been working every day. It's paying off now."
"My first baseman has been playing so well," Raiders head coach Maryann Musselman said. "She is young, and she is determined to keep getting better, so I just love the way she has played."
Heath made a couple key plays. With a runner on second in the top of the second inning, she corralled an errant throw and tagged out Holy Cross' Casey DiZinno, who ran into her for the final out of the inning. In the fourth, Heath scooped a low throw in the dirt to keep the Crusaders from getting a rally going.
Mollie Bartles played her typical solid shortstop while second baseman Nicole Jamieson fielded her position well. Combine that with Matzko's efficient pitching, and it was tough for Holy Cross to get anything going.
"She's got good control, she doesn't walk people, she fields her position, and they played great defense behind her," Crusaders head coach Scooter Zappone said. Continued...
Hard work has led to a six-game winning streak for the Raiders.
"We've just been connecting," sophomore Alexa Potter said. "Part of being a team is being together and knowing that you guys have to work for what you want, so we do that well."
Matzko may get a lot of attention as a Division I pitching prospect, but without run support, her efforts don't bring victories.
In the bottom of the second, Torrington manufactured its first run. Marissa Morris led off with a walk. Bartles laid a bunt down the first-base line and beat it out for a single.
"[Musselman] gave me the sign, and I was just like I have to get this down so we can get the run in, and it happened," Bartles said.
Morris reached third on the bunt single, then scored on a wild pitch for a 1-0 Raider lead.
Torrington couldn't get much going against Holy Cross pitcher Ilana Rivera (6 innings, 2 runs, 2 hits, 5 strikeouts, 3 walks), who pitched well.
"That's the best I've seen her throw," Zappone said of his junior pitcher. "She was there today. Those couple wild pitches hurt her, but that's the best she's looked this year."
The Raiders finally got their second hit when Potter led off the fifth with a single to center.
"You just got to focus," Potter said. "You got to put everything else aside, and the game is the time to play and win." Continued...
After a passed ball moved Potter to second base, Sam Pelow moved Potter to third with a sacrifice bunt. Brittany Young bunted toward the third-base line. Holy Cross third baseman Mikaela Rice faked like she was going to throw to first, trying to lure Potter into an out. Instead, the ball slipped out of Rice's right hand and Potter scored for a 2-0 lead.
Matzko and the Torrington defense made sure Holy Cross didn't threaten the lead in the final two innings. Matzko even showed off her defense when she fielded a cue shot from Rice near the first-base line and fired to Heath at first for the out on a close play.
"For a lefty to field that bunt, spin around and throw, oh my gosh," Musselman said.
Matzko didn't seem to show any effects of having a Division I college coach present at the game.
"And she pitched for about two hours [Thursday] night in practice, so I'm sure she's a little fatigued," Musselman said. "With the North Carolina [coach] watching? A machine. She was a machine."
Torrington seems to have all parts of its machine running.
"We've been doing awesome," Bartles said. "It's the greatest feeling. We've been working so hard, practicing together. We know that we have to win and go far, and we want to get far in the NVLs, to the championship game, and beat Seymour."

The I-44 bridges over 31st Street, shown looking west on 31st Street, were widened and redecked in 1980 to improve safety and provide a safer driving surface. To accomplish the widening, a column was poured adjacent to each pier on the bridge's outer side, and the concrete abutment walls also were extended. A steel girder was installed on the new columns and then incorporated into the bridge through the redecking process. The old steel/concrete railings, which had been hit quite a few times over the years, were replaced with solid concrete railings. These bridges eventually will be replaced when I-44 is widened through the area. Photograph taken July 1988.

(SOURCE: Spine, news release, Sept. 5, 2012)
THURSDAY, Sept. 13 (HealthDay News) -- Care provided by medical specialists is the main reason spending on treatment for back and neck problems in the United States has nearly doubled since the late 1990s, according to a new study. Researchers analyzed data on how much Americans spent on ambulatory (non-hospital) care for back and neck problems from 1999 to 2008. The study was published Sept. 1 in the journal Spine. In 2008, about 6 percent of adults made an ambulatory care visit for diagnosis of a back or neck condition, a total approaching 14 million visits. The researchers found that the percentage of patients who made ambulatory spinal care visits during the study period remained "remarkably stable," according to a journal news release Adjusted for inflation, annual medical spending for spinal care per patient increased by 95 percent from 1999 to 2008, from $487 to $950 in 2008 dollars. Most of the spending increase was for treatment by medical specialists. There was little or no change in spending for spinal care provided by primary care and family doctors, internists or general practitioners. Spending for care provided by chiropractors also remained stable, the researchers found. Spending for care by physical therapists was the most costly service throughout the study period, but appeared to decrease over time. "Recent increasing costs associated with providing medical care for back and neck conditions -- particularly subspecialty care -- are contributing to the growing economic burden of managing these conditions," wrote study author Matthew Davis and colleagues at the Dartmouth Institute in Lebanon, N.H. They noted that back pain is the second most common reason for medical visits, after upper respiratory infections. "Estimates of the total expenditures on care vary, but the general consensus is that approximately $90 billion is spent on the diagnosis and management of low-back pain, and an additional $10 billion to $20 billion is attributed to economic losses in productivity each year," the researchers wrote.

It's reasonable to assume that Peart's lucky number is 6 since he can play in 6/6, 6/8, 6/24 and so on. Over the last

Here we have test results for 19 high-end cameras, with digital SLRs, Micro Four Thirds, Four Thirds and some bridge cameras among those on test.
Our rigorous tests are carried out by professional labs in Europe that specialise in photographic testing. Our scores tell you which cameras have the best:
On this page, you'll find:
DSLRs may be much larger than their compact counterparts but once you've enjoyed their benefits, it's hard to settle for anything less. Four Thirds and Micro Four Thirds set a new standard for a camera design that's compact and has interchangeable lenses. All types have had a steady increase in sales, together with a dramatic drop in price in recent times.
There are several makes to choose from, with camera and lens kits for well under $1000. You might also want to read our article on digital SLR zoom lenses. See also our brand reliability survey 2013 to discover how our members rate the reliability of the key brands over time.
Video: How to use your digital SLR
CHOICE experts give you some quick tips on how to get the best out of your digital SLR camera.
In this test, we've decided to include other digital cameras marketed to high-end users, even though they may not have an interchangeable lens. The criteria for inclusion are:
• Manual override for focus and exposure controls. • RAW format recording (to allow you more control over the image once it's taken). • Manual white balance control. • Manual ISO adjustment of ISO3200 or more.
Cameras with interchangeable lenses are called System cameras.
Note: We regularly test cameras and add them to the list as the results become available. This list will grow over time and cameras that are discontinued will be marked with a strikethrough like this.
This overall score is a combination of the following scores:
This score is an evaluation of:
This involves five people evaluating each camera's manual, shutter release button, times for data transfer, shutter delay, start up, taking pictures in single shot and continuous modes. They check for ease and smoothness of zooming, manual focusing and speed of operation by going through a cycle of taking and deleting an image a number of times. Ease of inserting and removing a camera's memory card and changing its settings, controls and batteries is also tested. Movie ease of use is appraised in a similar way, with emphasis on recording and playback controls. These cameras are also appraised for their manual and autofocus performance in both normal and Liveview modes in both bright and low light conditions. We also check how difficult it is to change lenses.
The difference between the height and width displayed in the monitor and what is recorded on the final image, an appraisal of the image quality in bright and low light conditions and measure of its overall size and resolution.
Its overall size as well as the difference between the height and width displayed in the viewfinder and what is recorded on the final image, an appraisal of the image quality in bright and low light conditions and the quality of its resolution and refresh rate when panning across scenes.
Tested at one, three and five metres to check the exposure is even across the image.
Cameras that are able to record video were used to make four "highest quality" movies and then scored on resolution of detail, colour accuracy, fluency of playback, picture noise and pixelation caused by compression. This is done in both bright- and low-light conditions and our testers check also the cameras autofocus and macro performance in video mode. The sound quality is appraised by recording in a quiet room with both classical music and voice played back through high-quality speakers. Testers also check for noises caused by zooming or focusing the camera when taking video.
High-end cameras are put through a more extensive test procedure than basic cameras using the lenses that are normally bundled with them. Even though the testing is done with the camera in Auto mode for most procedures, you cannot compare scores between the two tests. Most manufacturers supply relatively cheap lenses in their kits. If you're in the market for a system camera and already have some good-quality lenses, you can get better image quality results than achieved in our test. However, older lenses designed primarily for film cameras may not produce the same image quality when used on a digital camera.
As well as the test results for 18 camera\lens combinations you'll also get:
For more information on Digital cameras, see Cameras and camcorders.
18 Apr 2013 | In our latest digital camera test we review 30 compact digital cameras, priced from $126 to $599.
2 Sep 2010 | To try to keep up with the rapidly evolving digital camera market, CHOICE reports on batches of cameras every couple of months.
21 Jul 2009 | If you own a digital SLR camera (DSLR) and want to expand your photographic horizons the next step is to decide on the best lens to complete your kit.

That is correct. Since everything else is working, I'm content to wait for a new Winamp release before going through the work of a clean uninstall and re-setup of everything. Adding/removing plugins one at a time and all of that. The display driver is a long shot (not having graphical problems elsewhere), but I've seen crazy things over the years. Since we're using the same version of Winamp, what display card and driver are you using? I have a GTX 460 and am using the latest Nvidia beta driver 301.24.

From the very beginning of the season, the Scotland varsity volleyball team knew who would be standing in the way of their eighth-consecutive Southeastern Conference championship.
That team was the Pinecrest Patriots, and October 2nd marked the second meeting between the two squads that have been on a collision course all season for conference supremacy. The first match between the Fighting Scots and the Patriots was a five-set endurance test that saw Scotland barely edge Pinecrest to remain undefeated.
But at home in front of the jam-packed Scotland High School bleachers, the Fighting Scots closed the door more emphatically on Pinecrest this time with a four-set victory (25-20, 20-25, 25-22, 25-21) that lived up to every ounce of hype which preceded it.
And now yet another conference championship is within the Scots' grasp.
"When we play like we're supposed to play we are still the number one team in the conference," said Libby Ingram, who was responsible for two of the three set-ending points that led to Scotland's victory, including a final ace in set four which brought the crowd to its' feet.
"We can't be too cocky or confident going forward with the rest of our season, but this win means that we still have it in us to be the best. We went out there and got the job done tonight," she said.
Five points was the largest margin separating Scotland and Pinecrest during the entirety of the match, as the Patriots matched up well to the Fighting Scots in terms of size and athleticism. Led by Mary Grace Phipps and Felicia Painter at the net, the Patriots deflected several Scotland kill attempts and vaulted to an early lead in the first set.
However, the turning point in the first set came when an assist from Avery Callahan (one of her 18 on the night) gave Greta Griswold a kill opportunity. Griswold feigned hitting a rocket into the Pinecrest defense and instead softly tapped the ball over the net, which fooled the Patriots and resulted in a point to tie the first set at 15-15. Two consecutive aces from Maddie Milholland later, and the Scots never looked back, going on a 10-5 run to take the first set.
Griswold proved invaluable against Pinecrest, leading her team with 15 serving points, four aces, eight digs and 21 of 28 passes on target.
But as they did in their first match against Scotland in early September, Pinecrest didn't relent and instead bounced back to take the second set. Painter again would be a major factor by scoring several kills, and she was joined by Janea Williams who was the tallest player on the floor for both teams. The Patriots would lead for the entirety of the 25-20 second set victory.
In a match where every single point could potentially alter the outcome of the night, both teams needed the third set in the worst way and it showed.
There were seven lead changes in the third set, as well as 11 different instances where Scotland and Pinecrest found themselves tied. But down the stretch it was Ingram who closed the door on the Patriots to give her team the 2-1 set lead, scoring three of the final four points including an aggressive kill for the 25th point that was sent careening out of bounds after Pinecrest unsuccessfully attempted to defend the strike.
With the momentum shifted back in their favor, Scotland sought to clinch the match in the fourth set. And though Pinecrest never quite went away, the Fighting Scots were carried to victory by Brianna Harris and Caroline Pridgen. Harris had 23 assists and six digs against Pinecrest Tuesday night, including two great diving digs on a single point late in the fourth set that were later capitalized upon to give Scotland a 22-18 lead.
Despite the length of the Patriots, Pridgen couldn't be stopped down the stretch as well, notching several of her team-leading 22 kills in the fourth set when her team needed them most.
The Scots are now 16-0 on the season and are also in the driver's seat regarding their path to another conference championship. With just three matches left (Hoke, at Lumberton and Richmond), Scotland needs just one more victory to clinch.
And a familiar face was once again visible on the sidelines: Scotland head coach David Barnes was back with the team after enduring a hip surgery mere weeks ago.
Seeing his team maintain their focus and drive while he recuperated, Barnes is more certain than ever of the 2012 Fighting Scots' ability to do great things.
"They say when the cat is away the mice will play," said Barnes after the game. "But after missing a few matches, my hat's off to this team for showing this coaching staff and me that they have the will and focus to be great."
