Perrysburg Township Police are getting new gadgets they say will help them better serve the public.
One is called a spotting scope. The scopes can see about 1,000 yards away and will be used by township officers and members of the Northern Regional SWAT Unit. The scopes will give police a clear view of what's nearly impossible to see with the naked eye, making it easier for SWAT members and police to see danger ahead.
Police cruisers will soon be fitted with new touch-screen computers, as well.
"If the officers are writing reports throughout the night, when I come in the morning, I'll be able to look at all of those reports just through my computer at home," explained Deputy Chief Gilmore. "So the communication link will be that much better for the 24-hour period."
These new tools that will help with communication and accuracy are just some of the things police say help them serve the community more efficiently.

Singer-songwriter Freddie Mercury was born Farookh Bulsara on September 5, 1946, in Zanzibar, Tanzania. He studied piano in boarding school in India and befriended numerous musicians at London's Ealing College of Art. The music of Mercury's band, Queen, reached the top of U.S. and British charts. Mercury died of AIDS-related bronchial pneumonia on November 24, 1991, at age 45.
Musical Education
Singer-songwriter and musician Freddie Mercury was born Farookh Bulsara on September 5, 1946, in Zanzibar, Tanzania. As the frontman of Queen, Freddie Mercury was one of the most talented and innovative singers of the rock era. He spent time in a boarding school in Bombay (now Mumbai), India, where he studied piano. It was not long before this charismatic young man joined his first band, the Hectics.
Moving to London with his family in the 1960s, Mercury attended the Ealing College of Art. He befriended a number of musicians around this time, including future bandmates, drummer Roger Taylor and guitarist Brian May. In 1969, Mercury joined up with a group called Ibex as their lead singer. He played with a few other bands before joining forces with Taylor and May. They met up with bassist John Deacon in 1971, and the quartet—who Mercury dubbed Queen—played their first gig together that June.
In 1973, the band released their first self-titled album, but it took two more recordings for Queen's music to really catch on. Their third record, Sheer Heart Attack (1974), featured their first hit, "Killer Queen," a song about a high-class call girl. The single hit No. 2 on the U.K. charts, and peaked at No. 12 in the U.S.
With a sound that has been described as a fusion of hard rock and glam rock, Queen had an even bigger hit the following year with their album, A Night at the Opera (1975). Mercury wrote the song "Bohemian Rhapsody," a seven-minute rock operetta, for the album. Overdubbing his voice, Mercury showed off his impressive four-octave vocal range on this innovative track. The song hit the top of the charts in Britain and became a Top 10 hit in the United States.
In addition to his talents as a singer and songwriter, Mercury was also a skilled showman. He knew how to entertain audiences and how to connect with them. He liked to wear costumes—often featuring skintight spandex—and strutted around the stage, encouraging fans to join in the fun. Artistic in nature, Mercury was also actively involved in designing the art for many of the group's albums.
Queen's popularity continued to soar through the late 70s and early 80s. "We Are the Champions," off of News of the World (1978), became a Top 10 hit in the United States and in Britain. It was featured on a single with "We Will Rock You"—both songs have taken on a life of their own as popular anthems played at sporting events. Always exploring new and different sounds, Queen also tried their hand at the big music trend of the time, with the disco-flavored "Another Bites the Dust" in 1980. Off that same album, The Game (1980), Mercury and the rest of the band showed their range as performers with the rockabilly-influenced hit "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," which Mercury penned.

Musical Monikers
When musicians land big fame, there typically comes a moment of reinvention in which the "rock star" identity is born. This new persona often requires a new name, a way to differentiate between the private and public versions of themselves. Musical monikers take different forms, from the simple, last-name changes aimed at boosting celebrity appeal—like Steven Tyler—to the glamorized version of a childhood nickname—like Jay-Z. Musicians' nicknames and aliases tend to take on an identity all their own over time, often becoming as full of personality as the artists they represent.

By Porter Anderson | @Porter_Anderson
From February 16, 2012
Part of my series of columns on publishing, Writing on the Ether, appearing Thursdays through the kind (and brave) benevolence of Jane Friedman at JaneFriedman.com
ToC: Techno-calities
Locution, locution, locution.
In its sixth year, the Tools of Change Conference — just closed in New York City — easily held its own as one of publishing's two great confabs of a stressful year, the other being last month's Digital Book World Conference + Expo.
And when it comes to locution, ye shall know them by how they say "data."
January's DBW (#dbw12) used "following data" to tell us where things lie (not lay, damn it) amid the sinkholes of today's treacherous, fast-digitizing landscape.
February's ToC (#TOCcon) vowed to wield "Big Data" as a photon torpedo, LeVar Burton, in the battle for publishing's cultural viability.
Burton gave a Treky's keynote on Tuesday in which he revealed that spotting Nichelle Nichols on the original bridge of Gene Roddenberry's USS Enterprise helped him find his race and place in an entertainment industry that would later cast him in Alex Haley's pivotal "Roots" and now platforms his RRKidz mission to get digital reading to kidz (not kids, damn it).
[blackbirdpie id="169231835484798977"]
Speaking of race, another adherent of Lt. Uhura's persuasion, author and Onionist Baratunde Thurston, gave another keynote that day, plugging his book.
Here is his keynote on video. Here he is with Terry Gross on NPR's Fresh Air, in Baratunde Thurston Explains "How To Be Black" And here is his book in an enhanced edition, "enhanced" being a term we include less and less frequently in our publishing patois.
More locution: ToC and DBW are perfectly aligned, like squirming twin Cupids, in their use of the term "keynote." It once referred to an often long, always singular, rabble-rallying speech by a major figure of real heft. You remember Margaret Atwood at last year's ToC? Well, of course you do. And you can refresh your memory when she does it again at AWP in early March.
[blackbirdpie id="169916630040719360"]
Today? Every girl can give a keynote. In fact, every girl and every boy targeted by arrows this Valentine's Day seemed determined to do just that. A "keynote" now lasts 15 minutes, max. And it arrives in a candy box full of matching presentations, each of them crinkly-wrapped in the visuals that we Contemporary People must behold in order to focus, damn it, focus. The givers of today's "keynotes" are frequently low-energy folks whose first calling in life clearly is not oration. They want to tell us that their software is better than your software.
They may be right. They may be wrong. They may be sponsors. And one of them at ToC hid envelopes under the audience's seats. Ten of those envelopes, we were told, would provide the lucky derrieres above them with iPad 2's. (I made my colleague Jeremy Greenfield check under our seats in the media room. Chewing gum. Not an Inkling of a win.)
Did I mention locution? It's all in how we say it, you see.
[blackbirdpie id="169053845022969856"]
Let's have one more.
"Scaling" could mean something less friendly to some soon.
A Wednesday session, Scaling Content Development Through Automation, gave us Kristian Hammond of Narrative Science and Robbie Allen of Automated Insights in their talks on those computer-generated sports and real-estate reports you may have heard about, ex machina.
These punchy accounts of youth hockey matches and other pivotal events are generated, Hammond told us, by "a simple set of derivations from the data." Then "angles" are applied, he said. And he was at pains to tell us, "We're not writing stories that just express the data…the system understands the trend."
For the record: This report is written not by a machine but by a human being made productive by caffeine rather than electrical current. Parse me, bubba, I've got yer data right here.
But 'tis bootless to exclaim.
By the time the last flotilla of petit-four-sized keynotes eased us all to sleep in our seats on Wednesday afternoon — never let the elegant thinker Theo Gray onto a stage right after lunch to show you his Wolfram Mathematica CDF — Ed Nawotka managed to fire up his Publishing Perspectives account and tweet before passing out:

Barkhamsted sees slight rise in grand list
BARKHAMSTED -- The town's frugality will help minimize the effect of little growth in the grand list.

"To sleep, perchance to dream: ay there's the rub," said Shakespeare's Hamlet. Indeed, Hamlet was not alone in his struggle to sleep, according to Dr. Steve M. Scharf, director of the University of Maryland Sleep Disorders Center. "Forty to 50 percent of the American population has suffered from insomnia. Eight to nine percent of men and 10 to 12 percent of women have chronic insomnia." We should take a page from our ancestors, the great apes, Scharf says. "When the sun goes down, they make a nest and go to sleep. What do we do? We have sewing circles, TVs, computers, and dates."
What impact does sleeplessness have on our health? We know that chronic sleep deprivation affects your ability to think, reason, control your emotions, and be attentive to things like driving. Sleep deprivation can be a risk factor for diabetes and hypertension. It may also be a risk for things like depression and anxiety disorders.
How much sleep do we need? Sleep requirements vary in the population. Most people need seven to eight hours of sleep, but some will do just fine on five hours, and some need nine hours. Everyone has an optimal number of required hours.
Any favorite tricks for conking out at night? The bedroom should be reserved for sleeping and sex——it's not a work area. Set a sleep preparation time 20 to 30 minutes before bedtime, and assume some sort of un-engaging activity——such as taking a bath, playing soft music, or reading. We are big fans of exercise but not within an hour or two of bed.
What should you do if you still can't sleep? If, after 20 minutes, you can't fall asleep, get out of the bedroom and resume the disengaging activity.
Do you recommend bringing props to bed—a special pillow or mask to block out the light? Having something like that with you is fine——it probably helps reduce anxiety. It's the adult version of a baby blanket——and there's nothing wrong with that.
Are dreams really a window into the subconscious? There are people who used to think that, during dreams, the soul wandered. We now know that memories are being thrown off, and, it is possible, that underlying desires, worries, and anxieties will come to the fore. That, however, is for a psychiatrist!

DENVER – A few hours after speaking with season ticket holders on a conference call, Executive Vice President of Football Operations John Elway and Head Coach John Fox headed to Sports Authority Field at Mile High.
There, they hosted A Night With the Coaches alongside Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy, Defensive Coordinator Jack Del Rio and Special Teams Coordinator Jeff Rodgers.
The event, presented by US Bank and Del Frisco's, was emceed by Vice President of Corporate Communications Jim Saccomano. After an hour of cocktails and hors d'oeuvres, the attendees made their way to tables and awaited the main event of the evening — an hour-long Q&A session.
The coaches touched on a variety of topics, including each of the team's seven 2012 NFL Draft selections, the ways the offense, defense and special teams units will change this season and how to ensure the stadium stays loud.
After the event, raffle prizes were given out — including gift certificates to Del Frisco's and footballs autographed by Elway and Fox. All five guests of honor stuck around afterward to talk with attendees and snap a few pictures.
Click here for a photo gallery of the event.
On Fox's coaching job in 2011:
"If you look at where we were a year ago, the January before John (Fox) came on board, we talked a little bit about it last year — our football team really needed a lot of football rehab. We needed to get back to where players were loving the game and playing the game hard. I will say this — the year we had last year was obviously very exciting, getting a playoff win. But this guy was as responsible as anybody for it because of the attitude change that he was able to put in last year without an offseason. His first introduction to the football team was when we went to training camp, and he just did a tremendous job last year. One thing that's a mark of a John Fox team when you talk to other people around the NFL, the first thing they'll talk about is they play hard down-in and down-out. That's one thing we showed last year — they followed his lead. We got every bit that we could get out of last season, being 9-9 and getting that playoff win. That was a tremendous coaching job, and that credit goes to John."
On how to keep Sports Authority Field at Mile High loud:
"Play good football. If we play well, you're going to be happy, you're going to be screaming. That really is the bottom line. We have to play well. We have to give you a reason to get loud and to get excited about what you're seeing on the football field. The bottom line is we have to be a good football team and we know the noise is going to be there. This is the best stadium in the league. And we have to do a better job playing here. We have not done a good job controlling our home field — for us to be less than 7-1 or 8-0 at home every year is something that we should strive for. Because it is such a great home field advantage."
On whether Denver wants to host a Super Bowl:
"We'd love to have (a Super Bowl) here. I know it's been brought up several times … we'd love to be able to have one here. With it being in New York, maybe that cracks the door a little bit farther for us."
"One of our selling points to the league should be — because it was our selling point to Peyton (Manning) — the fact that in 519 home games, the average temperature is 61 degrees. That was something in the recruiting process we made sure we repeated that several times."
On former Defensive Coordinator Dennis Allen:
"We were fortunate — one thing that comes with success is guys get opportunities to go and move up. Dennis Allen got that opportunity. We're going to do everything to make sure his life is miserable, because he did go to the Oakland Raiders."
On Von Miller:
"Von had a superb season. I think he would've shattered all the rookie records had he not torn that tendon in his thumb. Really he played one-armed and one-handed the remainder of the season. I thought he had a great rookie season. I think he'll build on that. The type of young man he is, he's very humble, he's a great teammate and a guy that's not afraid to work. He looks great. We've had the opportunity to see him on the practice field — his thumb's fine. He'll be a great, great player for years to come."
On how he would define success in 2012:
"Obviously when you acquire a player of Peyton Manning's caliber, the expectations immediately go up. Those are all fine. The expectations are much higher this time this year than they were at this exact time a year ago. I think that's what you're trying to build. Basically our goal every year is to win the world championship. To be hoisting the Lombardi Trophy at the end of the season. That really ought to be our fan's expectation. I don't think there's a player in that locker room that doesn't have that goal in mind. To do that, obviously, we've got to have baby goals before that. A year ago we talked about winning a championship — well, the championship we won last year was a good step. We won the division championship. Now you've got to win the conference championship and then the world championship. We took decent steps a year ago. That's now where we want to be. We've spent a lot of time, effort, money, resources to acquire better talent. That's the name of this game, acquiring the best human talent available and motivating them to be the best that they can be. That's going to be our goal this year. You can't put it in wins and losses. The Super Bowl champions last year were 9-7 in the regular season. Who cares? They got that trophy. They did win their division. Our goal is to win our division. That gives you a chance. You get in the tournament, then anything can happen."
On the team's rookies:
"Their work ethic, the way they go about their business, their focus and the type of people they are, they're going to be people you're very proud of."
On something about the team that fans might not know from the outside looking in:
"Our team understands what it is to be a team. We won a lot of games in the fourth quarter when it didn't look so good. They keep fighting. They compete. They stay humble. They fight for each other. The kind of things that are important that winning, championship football teams build from within. All-in-all I think playing together as a team is what can push you over the edge in a very competitive football league."
On defensive improvement:
"For me, even though the defense was considered a strong unit last year, we ended up ranked 24th in scoring and 20th in yards. Those are not numbers that I'm looking for. We expect to be a lot better on defense this year."
On how the unit will look in 2012:
"A couple things you can count on. One, we expect our defense to know how to tackle and be able to tackle. I don't think you can play good defense without doing that. We count on our front seven to be able to shed blocks and make plays. So we don't have to population blitz people in order to stop the run. We're going to blitz because we want to. We're going to have multiplicity to what we do. Going back to 2002 when I was a defensive coordinator for the first time with Coach Fox, I believe and he believes in multiple fronts, causing the offense to work. We're going to be in different fronts, we're going to cause the offense to work to identify where people are. Obviously we have a couple special edge rushers, we're going to make them a threat. And we're not just going to bring them, we're going to bring other people. We'll have plenty that we will offer in terms of packaging to utilize the personnel we have available. I promise you this — you have to stop the run in this league even though it's become a passing league. You have to be able to stop the run so people won't just shove it down your throat. But at the end of the day, you've got to be able to affect the quarterback. You've got to be able to make the quarterback uncomfortable, whether it be not knowing his read or being pressured. We're going to do a little bit of both."
On DT Derek Wolfe:
"Derek Wolfe is an inside pass-rush threat that really has been lacking here. Last year the defensive tackle position went without a sack. Derek Wolfe was the top producer of sacks in the NCAA last year (at defensive tackle). He's a guy that will need to work to build an anchor in terms of playing inside on the run downs, but in terms of generating pass rush and giving us a presence inside with Von Miller and Elvis Dumervil coming outside, I think he'll be a valuable addition, so we're glad to have him."
On CB Omar Bolden:
"Omar Bolden is a tenacious corner. Really both he and Derek Wolfe are hard-charging, effort-filled players. You're going to like watching them play. They compete hard, they play hard every snap. They're very, very competitive. Omar's in a stacked backfield, so coming off his injury we won't have to rush him, but he'll certainly get every opportunity to compete at corner. So we're excited about them."
On LB Danny Trevathan:
"The guy Coach Fox and I probably received the most emails and texts about is Danny Trevathan. He led the SEC in tackles the last two years. Obviously the SEC is one of the premier football conferences in the country, and he led that conference in tackles the last two years. This guy came to minicamp and showed a lot of that flash right away. He's an exciting, young football player. So those three guys right away grab your attention."
On DE Malik Jackson:
"Malik Jackson, a defensive end, will put pressure on Robert Ayers to perform at a high level. That creates competition. I feel really good about the guys we were able to select in the draft and they're going to be able to help our football team."
On how Manning will factor in as the offensive scheme is designed:
"We're going to do whatever it takes to win a world championship here. He's going to adjust, and he's already adjusted and bought in to what we're doing. Then we're going to take some of the things he did in Indianapolis and install them here."
On QB Brock Osweiler:
"We were very fortunate to get Brock Osweiler from Arizona State to play quarterback here. And he's very fortunate, because he's going to be learning from Peyton. Being a young quarterback, it's not always where you're drafted, it's going to the right situation. A young rookie can learn from Peyton, to be around John (Elway) and learn from two of the best to every play the game — he's very fortunate. He's a young kid, he's 21 years old now, he's got a bright future, he's got great size, very mobile in the pocket for his size. One of the things that really stood out with us when we went and worked him out individually at a private workout is you could see everything people had talked about. The improvements he needed to make, he was already headed in that direction. He got some great advice once the season was over, worked extremely hard, so you know what type of kid that is. He was very smart in the classroom with us when we talked about some things. We kind of quizzed him before we walked out of the room and he nailed every question we had. We look for great things in the future from him."
On RB Ronnie Hillman:
"Taking Ronnie Hillman from San Diego State, this kid is explosive. This is something we have not had here in a while. This is a kid who's going to catch a check-down from the quarterback, and a 5-yard completion could turn into 80 in a hurry. You see that on film. He looks smaller to people, but he runs inside the tackles. A lot of guys that are built like him, they want to bounce everything and run to the sidelines and go out of bounds. This kid's not afraid to run inside. So we're looking to add another dimension to our system here. He's very similar to Darren Sproles, I would say. So we're looking for great things."
On C/G Philip Blake:
"On the offensive line, Philip Blake from Baylor will be great because he'll give us some position flexibility inside. Whether he's going to play center or guard, you're always looking to add depth at those positions. When it comes to gameday, a guy who can play two spots always helps us offensively."
On changes on special teams in 2012:
"I think the main thing that will change is Eddie Royal has been the primary punt returner the past few years here. We're going through some transition there. We've got two guys on our roster in Syd'Quan Thompson and Eric Decker who have both returned in NFL games. Then we've got a number of young guys who are learning how to do that and have done it in college some — but obviously on Sundays it's a different deal. For the most part, we'll continue to improve on things that we did well. This year will be the second year in the system. Just expect guys that are returning to play better."

The majority of machine learning systems for object recognition is limited by their requirement of single labelled images for training, which are difficult to create or obtain in quantity. It is therefore impractical to use methods or techniques which require such data to build object recognizers for more than a relatively small subset of object classes. Instead, far more abundant multilabel data provides a ready means to create object recognition systems which are able to deal with large numbers of classes. In this paper we present a new object recognition system named MLBoost which learns from multi-label data through boosting and improves on state-of-the-art multi-label annotation and labelling systems. The system is trained on images with accompanying text and at no time is told which parts of each image correspond to which words, and as such the process is unsupervised. Having once been trained it is able to give segment labels and a list of descriptive words (an annotation) for any novel image.

As legislators discussed proposals for far-reaching changes to lower the number of people who are incarcerated, the public got more information about one experiment that began in 2003.
The state now operates 20 drug courts serving adults in 30 counties. There are 16 drug courts serving juveniles in 20 counties.
The state Supreme Court has assembled some data on how well they work.
Short version: perhaps better than incarceration.
Chief Justice Brent Benjamin told a joint meeting of the House and Senate Judiciary committees that:
* Since 2003, about 52 percent of the 420 people who entered adult drug court programs have graduated. Only about 10 percent of drug court graduates return to jail, compared to about 30 percent of those in traditional incarceration programs.
* As for juvenile drug courts, 201 kids - 62 percent of those who entered - successfully finished between 2007 and 2012. The recidivism rate for juveniles is 14 percent for drug court graduates, compared to 52 percent rate for traditional incarceration.
The difference in costs is significant, the court said.
* Putting an adult in drug court costs taxpayers about $7,100 a year. Putting an adult in a regional jail costs more than $18,000 a year, and prison, about $24,000 a year.

Re: SD card fried in new Galaxy S3
I am having the same problem. I have a 2 week old GalaxieS3 bought a card from verizon. Had several pictures on it. Got an error message that said sd card unmounted improperly. I didn't try to unmount it. There are no pictures or music on it. Seems if so many people are having problems it isn't "a bad card". Please give us a fix for this. We pay to much for all this to have problems like this!!

Re: SD card fried in new Galaxy S3
I'm the original poster to this thread. My second sd card just fried tonight. No warning signs. I was filming my daughter at a birthday party and I suddenly got a message that the sd card was damaged. The phone then tried to mount the card but couldn't. I've been unable to retrieve anything from the card. VERY FRUSTRATED. Yes I should be able to get the card replaced and reload the items that I synced previously, but some files weren't synced and are gone forever.

Re: SD card fried in new Galaxy S3
thats sad mate
by all rights, samsung should replace the card with a samsung one that they can guarantee will work!
if their sd slot cant accept a universal sd then they should have made a triangle slot!
not happy with samsung but how do we organise our people power to do something?? :banghead:

Re: SD card fried in new Galaxy S3
Another victim here. Bought a Dane-Elec 32gb class 4 card a few weeks ago from the Saturn webshop. Don't know how and when it happened, but didn't have access to the card all of a sudden. I'm glad most of the pictures and video of my newborn kid where auto-uploaded to G+! Would have gone mad if I'd lost all the baby pictures!
I guess I understand now why Google doens't put SD card slots into their Nexus devices...
Anyone heard anything about a solution yet? - 11-05-2012, 02:28 AM #58
Re: SD card fried in new Galaxy S3
To those who have had problems with sd cards, are you formatting them before you insert them or are you formatting them in the phone? No matter where you purchase, don't go for the cheapies! I've only ever used SanDisk or Samsung cards, and I've never had a problem. You also may want to format your 32 and 64 GB cards to FAT32 before inserting them. It only takes a few seconds. I recently replaced a 16 GB card with a 64 GB SanDisk, formatted it to FAT32, and it's working great.

Re: SD card fried in new Galaxy S3
This thread is making me very nervous as I have many important and indispensable files on the SD card in my S3 right now... I suppose the solution is to transfer to PC frequently and hope for the best.
I imagine with how THIN the phone is, with such POWERFUL components, everything must be running hot and very close together. Has anyone actually tested the internal temp of the S3 after a rigorous session of use?
I remember there is a file-manager like app in the market that could read current phone temps somewhat accurately...

Re: SD card fried in new Galaxy S3
I haven't had a problem with my SanDisk Ultra 32GB - Class 10, but I also haven't stored much on it yet. Although something weird happened when I first put it in, the day the phone arrived via FedEx; I put the SIM card in, then the SD cardand it looked like it was all the way in, then the battery, but after I snapped the phones back, back on and booted the phone, I got a notification that the external SD card was 'unmounted'. I then took the phones back off; couldn't quite grab the SD card and didn't have any tweezers handy, so I just pushed it in (against the spring tension) a few more timesand not knowing what to do nextsnapped the phones back, back on; weird thing was that it never clicked into place or anything, like on the AT&T tutorial video, but nonetheless it's been working fine as far as I can tell.
So I wonder if in some cases, it's just the GS3's sensor(s) that are malfunctioning? And maybe the SD card isn't really 'fried' and/or 'unmounted', etc.? - 11-05-2012, 02:05 PM #62

Re: SD card fried in new Galaxy S3
That happened to me too when I was playing with my SD cards this weekend. My original no-name card was draining my battery and I was trying to "debug" so I kept inserting and removing. I did notice that it did some strange things... I could push real hard and it would pop out, once it came out on its own.
I do know from personal experience that on a Unix based system (which Android is), if you pull a flash device without unmounting it and the system was in the middle of accessing data, it will corrupt the flash memory. I have had the unfortunate pleasure of personally experiencing that phenomena - 11-05-2012, 02:32 PM #66

Re: SD card fried in new Galaxy S3
Same problem here - I bought my phone on Aug 3 and it fried my SD card (PNY). It simply displayed "damaged SD card". So I thought something was wrong with that card and I got a SanDisk, 32Gb microSD card. This card lasted less than two months, because one morning, after powering on the phone, it displayed the "SD card may be damaged, you may have to format it bla bla" again. Just like that. So I formatted the card on my PC and it worked fine again... until today. I was taking photos at a Christmas party, when the screen went black and the phone stopped responding. I wasn't even taking pictures when this happened, but did have the Camera app opened when it froze. I waited about 2 minutes to see if it maybe starts working again... Nope -- it just died, the screen wouldn't display anything. The biggest inconvenience is that it happened just as my kids were sitting on Santa's lap (no joke). I was livid. I couldn't even figure out if the phone was still on or just dead, so I removed the battery and powered the phone on - again, the dreaded "Damaged SD card", for the third time since August.
What I did notice, in the past three days, is that I kept getting "this program is not responding" for a number of apps, such as Gmail, Onavo or the clock app. I should've backed up my pictures when I noticed these error messages. Too late now... I couldn't recover any of the photos I shot lately.
Even when it happened the first time I suspected something's wrong with the phone. Now I'm absolutely convinced it's the phone. And I want Samsung to do something about it, this cannot be just a coincidence. - 12-09-2012, 12:02 AM #72

Re: SD card fried in new Galaxy S3
We need to make sure to report that these problems to Samsung. When I contacted them about my second SD card failure they said that they were not unaware of a problem. I've logged my problem with them and the customer service representative I was chatting with said that if I had another similar incident then they would look into it. And potentially replace my SD card then. We really need to make sure that they are aware of this.

Re: SD card fried in new Galaxy S3
For what its worth, I think its a temperature issue, and here's why. I've had the same thing happen recently, Only rather than dying spontaneously, it started out gradually and misbehaved for about three weeks before finally dying. I have had this card fore at least 6 months with no issue, then changed the write speed from 1024 to 2048. It started a day or so later, though I didn't immediately make the connection. Doubling the R/W speed would definitely push a card at the edge right over though. It would usually lose the card during bootup, and when taking pictures or something. The final straw came when I was flashing a modem from the SD card and it disappeared mid-flash (glad it was only a modem). I took it out and put it in a card reader, and it read fine, so I backed everything up and reformatted it, and decided to use it as an experiment. In the phone it reads very occasionally now and immediately crashes, but in a reader, where its not nearly as hot, it will transfer data for a few minutes and them crash. I just ordered a 64G card before I read this forum, and now I fear for my new card. I'm wondering if I could make a foil heat sink over the card slot, though it probably wouldn't make a huge difference. This has worked for the CPU overheating issue the old HD2 had for some people. The location of the slot would make it pretty easy.
Re: SD card fried in new Galaxy S3
I had a card that got fried in the Note 1 that I got earlier this year. Worked fine in everything else until I put it in the note and then it was unusable after.

Bettie Page, Dead at 85
The icon best known for being a bondage/fetish model in the 1950′s died yesterday. Bettie Page was 85 years old and in poor health for the past couple of years.
LAT obit here.
NYT obit here.
Bettiepage.com servers are having difficulty keeping up with the onslaught of traffic. But the NSFW site has a note from her agent Mark Roesler:
She captured the imagination of a generation of men and women with her free spirit and unabashed sensuality. She is the embodiment of beauty.
There are, of course, a lot of fan sites out there. A couple that have confused Bettie Page photos with Gretchen Mol. Well…they're fans. Not specifically of Bettie Page…but fans.

Metro fare hike proposal moves forward
After they'd just seen a rate hike last year for bus and rail rides, it was hard to find people in the Metro system Thursday with anything but disdain for talk of another fare increase.
But at Metro's meeting Thursday, the Metro board voted to move ahead to plan public hearings required before a fare increase can take effect. The minimum fare now, $1.70, would rise to $2.10. The maximum fare from $5.20 up to $5.75.
"There's a lot I don't understand why that's happening," says Andy Bixby, a Greenbelt resident.
Yet Metro's general manager said Thursday's incident on the Red Line, with a cracked rail that led to a five hour delay, demonstrates the need to fix the system. He says Metro customers want that.
"They're concerned that we maintain a good system here that we got it back in shape after years of disinvestment and deferral of maintenance and that's really what the revenues are all about to help us support the operation to provide a much better system than today," says Richard Sarles, Metro general manager.
Perhaps. But they're still upset.
"They don't know what they're doing, obviously, they're making everybody pay for it," says Ralph Graham, a D.C. resident.
Among worried visitors to Thursday's hearing were the disabled, who saw fares for Metro Access vans soar. they are worried.
"It's not fair," said one blind man. "It's not equitable we're going to have to make difficult changes."

Ask the question your competitors aren't: 'what would my customer expect?'
Today's consumer is fickle and expects the world. Now. Whether looking to purchase a safe new car, a coat for the winter or plane tickets for a weekend getaway, each individual or business customer has a unique process to identify the right product and a long list of demands the delivering brand needs to meet to make the sale.
These include offer value, trust, best price, easy purchasing experience, customer service, and engagement with relevance. And the list could go on.
For a company to be on the top of the consumer's purchasing list, or at least in the short list of contenders, it needs to understand every aspect of the consumer and establish a comprehensive commerce strategy that will give the consumer not only what they want but what they expect. Now.

Chief Marketing Officers need to become the "Consumer SME" for their company and make business decisions based on consumer needs to achieve loyalty and repeat business.
Consumers are the most important asset to any business. Without consumers buying a product or service, there will no longer be products or services to sell.
Knowing the consumer is the key driver to business success. Chief Marketing Officers (CMOs) need to take strides at becoming the "Consumer SME" for their company and make business decisions based on consumer needs to ultimately achieve loyalty and repeat business.

Welcome to Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy®
"Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy is a method of relaxing muscle spasm, improving circulation and alleviating pain. To defuse "trigger points," pressure is applied to the muscle for several seconds by means of fingers, knuckles and elbows. The success of this method depends on the use of specific corrective exercise for the freed muscles. The method was developed by Bonnie Prudden in 1976."
Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy® is a hands-on, drugless, non-invasive method of relieving muscle related pain which emphasizes speedy, cost effective recovery and active patient participation for long-term relief. Myotherapy relaxes muscles, improves circulation and alleviates pain in all parts of the body. It increases strength, flexibility, coordination, stamina and energy. Work and play performance, posture, gait,and sleep patterns are all improved quickly, effectively and long lastingly.
= Chronic Pain
During a Myotherapy session, the patient, shoeless and wearing loose clothing, lies relaxed on a table as the body is checked for areas of potentially active trigger points, highly irritable spots that remain in the muscle after it has been damaged. Although Bonnie Prudden Myotherapy has its origins in the medical discipline of trigger point injection therapy pioneered by Janet Travell, M.D., and therapeutic exercise and immediate mobilization developed by Dr. Hans Kraus, it is non-invasive and very teachable which has encouraged wide spread use of Myotherapy by the ordinary person via Bonnie Prudden's books, self-help tools, TV and radio appearances.
When a trigger point meets with either excess emotional or physical stress it often responds by throwing a muscle into spasm. Spasm, in turn, causes pain. The myotherapist erases the spasm by pressing on the appropriate trigger points and then re-educates the affected muscle to its normal resting relaxed condition with special exercises designed for each individual problem. The correct exercise is requisite to success. Each person is trained in the exercises needed to remain free of pain using Myotherapy.
And Then Exercise the Muscles for Life Long Fitness
Most people don't have to suffer pain. We invite you to use the information contained in the site to learn more about Myotherapy and erase pain the Bonnie Prudden way.

A recent study of the CERN-based EGEE project group (Enabling Grids for E-Science) compares grid computing and cloud computing. Instead of describing theoretical features of grids and clouds, the authors take a look at two concrete implementations: the EGEE grid and the Amazon cloud (EC2+S3). This approach seems reasonable as it avoids long-lasting, fruitless discussions about how to define clouds and grids.
Usability & Simplicity
The study shows that a main advantage of clouds over grids is usability. Where Amazon S3 offers REST and BitTorrent and EC gives users access to virtual compute images with root rights, there is no such handy interface in the grid world. Google has proven the point many times before when it comes to Web-based applications and services: simple is beautiful.
Simplicity is an architectural design choice that I believe to be the major success factor of Amazon-style cloud computing. Easy-to-use interfaces allow third-party developers to hook into the cloud and build their own frameworks and tools on top of it.
The EGEE authors put it this way:
"In the medium term, the greatest potential benefit of cloud, as proposed by Amazon, is probably not the service itself, but its interfaces and usage patterns."
EGEE and EC2/S3 usage patterns show significant differences: the grid is used for batch-style job execution, such as a scientific calculation, whereas the cloud serves long-lasting services. No wonder, more and more ISVs discover the cloud to be an attractive basis for storing and processing their application data. The Ruby on Rails community, known for early adoption of agile programming models, forges ahead into the cloud. Although only four of the 114 public EC2 AMIs come with a pre-installed Rails environment, two of those are of amazing quality (4-5 stars in user rating). Moreover, documentation for deploying Rails on EC2 ranked among the first tutorials that were available on Amazon's EC2 developer center. Companies, such as Intridea, form a whole business model around Rails and PHP applications that run on EC2 and provide a number of exciting frameworks (Scalr) and services (MediaPlug). Another interesting EC-based service is the pay-as-you-go content search software SearchBlox.
Nevertheless, the cloud can be used for job execution as well (which for example is interesting if combined with Amazon SQS, such as ami-e346a38a). This example shows the flexibility that an Amazon-style cloud provides (as compared to the Google App Engine). Developers can use EC2 high performance instances for a processing-intensive service or S3 for storing terabytes of data, such as the NASDAQ Market Replay. The loose coupled cloud infrastructure empowers developers to unfold their creativity in ways that the masters of the cloud did not even think of. This is the power of cloud computing.
