No misunderstandings bro...
I don't wanna drag this conversation along without any purpose, but just felt that I HAD to make myself clear... My ego won't let me shut up... But I promise, no more from me w.r.t this...

That is exactly the way I interpreted it..! My point was, you simply c-a-n-n-o-t compare the "number of complaints on forums" against the "number of N8s and C7s sold", and say that it is a "small percentage". This is because, you or anyone reading would get the impression that the "number of complaints on forums" are directly proportional to the "number of defective devices".
Whereas, that is NOT the case... And that was what I was trying to point out... Not all of us with defects post on forums... In fact, someone could even argue that only a fraction of the percentage of people with defective devices even post on forums... I'm sure you'll agree.
On the other hand, I'm NOT trying to suggest in any way, that there are millions of defective N8s and C7s out there... I'm simply trying to point out that not all of us post on forums.
Of course, there are also those who do not even visit the care centers with their defective devices... Well, I'm totally with you on this one... Nokia wont even know about it... But lets not forget, even if we don't approve of this, there could be many more defective units out there without even Nokia knowing of them... Its no ones fault.
These only highlights the fact that you can not put forward an argument saying that there are very few complaints on forum and even fewer returns at care points, hence, there has to be very few defective devices around...
Anyway... enough of this... Anna is being rolled out..!!! Hope all of us will be able to get it soon and have a blast...

This purple tint is a big problem, whatever they say no one can camouflage this. the reason why users don't complain here about this is they have no time, or a good part of them do not know english well. i knw 5 people who have this problem, frends of mine. and I'm the only one who write here, because they seem more difficult to write here what worries them. But the bigest problem is that they need very long time to anderstand what's happening. And at that time warranty has expired. you have to pay for the service that u still do not know whether that screen will be good or not! and that's why users don't go to the NCC.

The meaning is absolutely clear as it says the number of complaints on the forums is small compared to the number of phones sold. It says nothing at all about the number of complaints representing the number of faulty phones and was not meant to say that either. So we are indeed in agreement on that point.
Maybe I underestimated the desire of others to want to read into what I said things that were not said in order to promote their own cases and demolish mine .
Anyway, it seems we are in agreement and ending on a friendly note. That is always nice to know around here and often a surprise to find it so especially when it comes to purple screens where posters aften get purple in the face with anger instead .

there comes a new twist in this problem... after updating to Symbian Anna now my Half Purple Clock is fully black.. but u can still find purple tint in photo, video clips and some applications... what nokia did in Anna is to polish the purple tint that a normal user cant find the fault easily... So nokia again playing game with us... now u have a new tought job to draw the attention of the Customer Care officers that ur screen is faulty, as they will keep their argue going by showing that Clock is Ok.... pathetic Nokia

This problem made me post here too.I have a lovely N8 that has the screen of a first color phones.
The purple tint is there and the transition between darker colors is on pair with 16 color display.Terible.I now look at my other phones:N78,N93,N97....they all have way better picture quality than N8.I need to mention that I have seen only ONE n8 with correct color transitions.I have go through around 30+ phones here in my country and none is without this error.So I have been in the Nokia shop and in carrier shops and all are faulty.Now about the issue of people not knowing about this problem is correct.All people that I have seen with N8,they are not aware about this problem.They say only,"yes I noticed that the pictures and videos on the phone are not good".And they do not inderstand why their much older phone has better picture quality.They are disaponted with the N8!Because of this NCC is unaware of this too.I was there five times already.When I was visiting for the first time they where too,suprised about the problem.So what about that one N8 that was not showing this problem,well I have visited a hardware magazine office here in my country and they where just doing a N8 review.So I saw one when they just came out..and we were very pleased with the device of course.So they gave him a good review,and a high score in the magazine.And I bought one for myself.But after only one day my nightmare started.I knew that is not the device I remember holding in my hands.Because if I knew about that I would change my mind,what is going to be my next phone.You are correct there are a lot of N8 with this problems around.And many people just think that is the way the phone is.And I wonder how many new ones are still faulty too...

With Symbian Anna, Nokia is silently demonstrating that it knows its displays are not performing well with dark gradients, and that the problem is not just restricted to "a small proportion" of N8/C7 devices as they have stated here. As @C7bangladesh already mentioned above, the analog screensaver clock seems to have been redesigned completely black, so as not to show signs of the defect. The gradients in the UI buttons have been removed in several themes (Midnight copper, Midnight silver etc), which prevents detecting the problem in them. The gradients that are used carefully avoid going anywhere near black (just look at the speech balloon of the Notifications widget). While I think it is great they are improving the aesthetics fo the UI in this way, I think they should be more candid about the extent of the problem.

Even I have this strange problem on N8 and seems there is no fix for this.. just scrap this phone and go for new one.. but very sad.. I used to like this phone and feel sad that i can not see any images good.. all red **bleep**

nokia, can we just pay for replacement screens for our n8?those that does not have the purple tint issue..but you can give us discounts...im wiling to pay just to fix this issue...
27-08-2011 17:38
I bought a second hand C7 w/o the receipts. I checked if there is still warranty. There is.
Will nokia replace the screen even if i dont have receipts of my C7?
27-08-2011 17:47
I don't think it matters as the phone itself will have a manufacturing date encoded into the firmware. Also, I don't think having a receipt is essential considering you will be taking it to Nokia themselves. You would only need a receipt if you were claiming for a refund.
27-08-2011 17:48
So even if I only bring the unit itself? Will they relpace it?
27-08-2011 17:57
Yes. As long as the phone hasn't been tampered with (hacked firmware or someone opening the phone to mess around inside) they should accept it.
27-08-2011 18:08
If you restore the original firmware they more than likely won't notice or even bother checking, so you should be OK.

Yes, we already know that. I'm surprised you still have the phone if it's still got the problem. Either get it fixed or replace it with something else. Your constant re-posting of the same thing is not going to solve your problem.

At 11:50 p.m. on Monday night, Nanuet Fire Department battled a fire on Terrace Avenue in Nanuet.
"The guys did a hell of a job and knocked down that fire in 15 minutes. They did an outstanding job," said Fire Chief AJ Knapp. "The fire started in the back of the house and we got to it before it spread to the attic."
The cause of the fire is still being investigated by Clarkstown Fire Inspector Harold Straut. Pearl River and Spring Valley fire departments assisted and South Spring Valley FD were on call at the Nanuet fire house.
Nanuet EMS and Rockland Paramedics were also on scene. There were no injuries as no one was in the residence.
The back of the house including the walls, part of the roof and back patio sustained the most damage.

Property owners around Watauga Lake will get their wish. This winter, the Tennessee Valley authority will lower Watauga Reservoir beyond its normal winter drawdown by ten feet for a period of four weeks.
Property owners told TVA they needed to do repair and maintenance work after record rains over the summer twice sent the lake to record high levels.
The winter drawdown on TVA lakes is already underway.
The below normal levels will last only four weeks, then return to normal winter lake levels.

The following is a press release from the Tennessee Valley Authority:
TVA To Lower Watauga Reservoir for Shoreline Work
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. ― The Tennessee Valley Authority will lower Watauga Reservoir, located near Elizabethton, Tenn., beyond its normal winter drawdown so property owners can perform maintenance on their docks and waterfront property after record high lake levels this summer.
The reservoir will be pulled down nearly 10 feet below its normal winter pool, which is about 1,950 feet above sea level. After about four weeks, the lake will be allowed to rise to normal winter elevation. Refilling the lake for next summer's recreation should not be affected by this, and will depend as usual on rainfall and runoff in the spring
"Watauga set two all-time elevation records this year, in May and again in July," said Chuck Bach, general manager for TVA River Scheduling. "After a very wet year with high lake levels, local property owners and businesses have requested the drawdown so they can work on their docks and clean up private property near the shoreline."
Watauga property owners, dock owners and marina owners are encouraged to take advantage of these low-water conditions to complete shoreline cleanup or permitted stabilization efforts, or general dock maintenance on previously permitted structures. Any new shoreline work or dock alterations will require prior approval from TVA.
TVA reminds the public during this drawdown period that it is illegal to remove, disturb, dig or damage cultural artifacts on federal property, including land normally covered by water. The public is asked to leave in place any cultural or historic objects and to report anyone digging for artifacts by calling 1-800-824-3861.
The area surrounding Watauga Lake has received more than 47 inches of rainfall since January. The entire Tennessee Valley, which stretches from West Tennessee across northern Alabama to the mountains of upper East Tennessee, received over 53 inches of rainfall and almost 30 inches of runoff since January, which is 134 percent and 155 percent of normal, respectively.

Skiers and snowboarders might want to pack a snorkel if they're heading to the mountains Wednesday.
Crystal Mountain is reporting five feet of snow over the last four days. And White Pass is promoting its "bottomless powder."
What's the status of the White Pass terrain park? "Buried," according to the website. The ski area accumulated 18 inches in 24 hours.
Alpental reports 34 inches of fresh snow in the last 48 hours.
At Mount Rainier, the snow is 163 inches deep at Paradise, forcing the national park to keep the road closed above Longmire.
While it's ideal skiing and riding conditions, officials are reminding people to be safe. The avalanche threat is "considerable" throughout the Cascades according to the Northwest Avalanche Center.
Crystal Mountain posted a tree well warning this morning. Encouraging skiers to stay together, within site of each other and to be careful around trees.
The deep snow creates air pockets around trees that can collapse on those who fall into them. Several skiers and snowboarders have died in tree well accidents in recent years.

CARY — Dr. Toni Mascherins parting letter to her Cary dental patients said she was retiring from her long career and would sorely miss them.
What she left out of that letter was that she was about to lose her state dental license because of the sedation death of a patient. She had advertised her business as a sedation dentistry practice, a field that aims to calm patients fears through the use of drugs.
A medical examiners report stated that 57-year-old dental patient Catherine Thoits likely died in November 2012 of a drug overdose, due in part to her history of sleep apnea.
An N.C. State Board of Dental Examiners investigation later would find the dentist hadnt properly heeded Thoits medical history or her fluctuating vital signs during the operation. Even as an assistant said that the patient lay blue, according to the boards findings, Mascherin ignored her employees suggestion that she call 911. Instead, Mascherin told her assistant that she wanted to finish the tooth extraction operation, the board stated.
Ive never heard of anything this egregious happening, said Edward Davidian, a Durham-based dentist-anesthesiologist who reviewed the state dental boards files on the case but was not involved. Ive never seen anything like this.
Its a rare case indeed. Thoits death was the only instance in at least 13 years where dental treatment was determined by state authorities to be the cause of a fatality, according to the dental board.
However, the story is likely unknown by some of the clientele that Mascherin accrued in 27 years of practice. As many medical authorities do, the state dental board punished its dentist carefully but quietly.
Per its policy, the board and its staff kept the investigation under seal for eight months after the death of Thoits, a Cary woman who loved ballroom dancing, hiking, play writing and following her own spiritual path, according to her obituary.
Investigators worked on the case from November through June, collecting records and conducting interviews. During that time, the dentist was free to continue administering the same moderate-sedation drug that had turned a tooth extraction lethal under her supervision. The boards public records dont show whether she did so.
Legally, yes, she was allowed to, according to Bobby White, chief operations officer for the dental board. Whether its wise to do it, though, or not ... he said, trailing off.
Dentist must report death
The dental boards rules dont strictly define what must happen when a patient dies, except that the dentist must report it. From there, its in the boards hands. The board shall make such investigation as it deems appropriate and shall take such action as it deems necessary, according to its bylaws.
The first official link between Thoits death and dental sedative drugs came with Thoits Nov. 4 autopsy.
The dental boards staff first heard about the death on Nov. 20, when the dentist submitted a report, as required. The organization then formed an investigative panel consisting of one board member, two staff members and the organizations attorney.
On Jan. 4, a review by the states Office of the Chief Medical Examiner confirmed that the death likely was because of complications of a dental procedure, possibly combined with medical conditions. And by April 26, dental investigators had finished their preliminary report, having compiled evidence that would form the basis of a claim of negligence.
Still, a lengthy legal process lay ahead.
State medical authorities have the power to revoke licenses immediately in the case of a potential threat to the public safety but the preliminary report did not prompt the dental organization to do so.
The preliminary investigation did not find enough evidence for the board to issue an immediate suspension. The boards staff has refused to release the preliminary findings, saying they were not public records.
Instead of an immediate suspension, the organization hewed closer to its normal route, giving the dentist time to respond to allegations before eventually taking action.
On May 8, 12 days after receiving the preliminary report, the investigative panel contacted Mascherins attorney to schedule a meeting.
By that time, it was too late to schedule the settlement conference for the dental boards May meeting in Sunset Beach. Instead, the parties would meet a month later, on June 15 the day before the boards regularly scheduled meeting in Morrisville.
It would have been difficult to schedule an emergency session sooner, said White, the organizations officer, because most of the boards members are working dentists from across the state.
At that June meeting, board representatives surveyed the evidence and listened to the response from Mascherins side.
The organization kept no minutes of the meeting, but it apparently found reason to take action.
On June 18 228 days after Catherine Thoits was pronounced dead the board issued a summary suspension declaring that Toni Mascherins use of moderate conscious sedation constituted a threat to the public health, safety and welfare. It was the first punitive action against Mascherin in the states records.
Although sometimes the wheel turns what appears to be slowly, we have to balance the rights of the public against the rights of the respondent, and we think the right result was reached here, White said.
Announced on website
Per its policy, the dental board announced on its web site that Mascherin would lose her conscious sedation permit. The notice appeared in a document labeled with her name under the Disciplinary Action section of NCDentalBoard.org.
The dental board does not notify patients about such actions. Neither was Mascherin required to tell patients that she had lost her sedation permit or that her entire practice was threatened by the next stage of the investigation.
Over the next two months, the board and its staff gathered further information and prepared for the disciplinary action that would end Mascherins career. On Sept. 18, the board issued an order of discipline permanently revoking Mascherins dental license, effective Sept. 30. She signed a consent order, certifying that she consented to the Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, Order of Discipline and the terms and conditions set forth herein.
In the document, the N.C. State Board of Dental Examiners stated:
• That Mascherin rebuffed an assistants warnings that the patient was blue on the operating table. The dentist instead preferred to finish extracting the Cary womans tooth, records state.
• That Mascherin negligently gave the patient three tablets of the sedative Halcion; a history of sleep apnea and a previous adverse reaction to sedation showed the woman was not a good candidate for sedation, the board found, though the patients medical doctor had approved use of the drug.
• That Mascherin didnt stop the procedure despite the patients fluctuating vital signs, including a drop in blood-oxygen saturation levels to 30 percent.
• That the patient became unconscious. Mascherins permit was for conscious sedation.
• That no one administered CPR until emergency services arrived, though the dentist claimed otherwise in her report about the death to the board. The dentist did administer flumazenil, a wake-up drug.
A man who answered the phone recently at Mascherins listed address in Cary said the dentist was not immediately available for comment because she was attending a wake. She has not responded to further calls for comment.
Mascherin, a native of New Jersey, completed undergraduate and dental school at UNC-Chapel Hill; she is also a licensed pharmacist, according to her website.
I am tremendously grateful for the support and trust you have shown in allowing me to be your dentist, she wrote in a Sept. 23 letter to valued patients.
She had sold the practice, she said, to Mary Knight and Moe Maleks Axiom Dentistry. Axiom did not respond to a request for comment.
The dentist first received her permit to administer moderate conscious sedation on Aug. 25, 2009, about seven years after the state first required a permit for that type of sedation. Currently, the state requires 60 hours of didactic training and satisfactory management of at least 10 patients, under supervision using intravenous sedation.
Absolutely necessary
James Hemby, the boards consumer representative, said that he was initially surprised when he joined the board five years ago by how slowly investigations moved.
When I first came on the board and started getting my feet wet ... it did seem to me that some things were delayed too long. And then I realized after going through it, time after time, that this was not really the case, said Hemby, a retiree who has not practiced dentistry and does not vote on the board.
These things seem to be inadvertently long, but theyre absolutely necessary in order to come to any direct conclusions, he said.
Its common that medical and dental boards approach cases cautiously, according to Michael Carome, a medical physician and the director of Public Citizens Health Research Group.
Ideally, when you have a very serious complaint, the boards would act quickly and sometimes take interim action, he said, speaking generally. I think many boards are reluctant to do that. Many healthcare providers will line up their attorneys ... because they realize the potential threat to their practice.
Have to go looking
The North Carolina dental board appears to have obeyed its own rules and national norms as it investigated the death of Catherine Thoits. Organization managers and members say it acted as quickly as possible while respecting the dentists rights.
In the first few months after the death, a patient would have had little chance of learning of the investigation, because the file was was sealed. Though a patient could have found out about the inquiry when the board initially punished Mascherin in June, he or she may not have known where to look or that there was any reason to doubt a longtime dentist.
In terms of disclosure of information, what youve described is typical, Carome said. You have to go looking.
Most boards are not ordering licensed medical providers to proactively announce to their patients a disciplinary action, Carome said.
That doesnt mean, ethically, it shouldnt be done, he added. If its going to impact care, and may affect a patients willingness to continue to receive care, it ought to be disclosed.
And while Mascherins retirement letter made no mention of the investigation, knowledge of a license revocation could prompt more patients to re-examine their records and come forward with complaints about a dentist, said Carome, whose employer in the past has graded medical boards based on disclosure standards.
Thoits family directed requests for comment to their attorneys, who asked for privacy.
Suffice to say that Catherine was a much-loved member of her family, her church, her workplace and her community, wrote Joseph Howell, a Wendell-based lawyer whose listed specialties include personal injury and medical malpractice, among others. We are in the midst of investigating the matter and are not at liberty to comment further at this time.

Tim Tebow didn't do a great job Monday convincing people he can be a pro QB
By Post Staff
MOBILE, Ala. – Tim Tebow came to the Senior Bowl this week to prove to NFL talent evaluators that he can be a traditional under-center quarterback at the next level.
But Tebow didn't exactly do a good job of convincing people during his first practice of the week on Monday.
Performing drills with fellow South team quarterbacks Zac Robinson of Oklahoma State and Jarrett Brown of West Virginia, Tebow fumbled the ball at least twice while taking snaps under center.
Later in team drills, Tebow fell into his same old habits – holding onto the ball too long, locking onto receivers and throwing wobbly passes.
The scouts noticed.
"He looks like the third QB out there," one NFC South talent evaluator said.
Thankfully for Tebow, he's got three more days of practice, plus Saturday's Senior Bowl, to improve his play. And most scouts and couches understand that the Senior Bowl is difficult on a quarterback because he is playing with a brand new center and receivers.
"I don't think he was at his best today, but I think he was OK," said Marc Trestman, a longtime NFL and college quarterbacks coach who worked with Tebow for a few days in Miami before coming to the Senior Bowl. "I've seen him throw the ball better. But you look at all of these kids today, they're playing in a new system of football, there's a lot of thinking going on, especially at the quarterback position. I don't think he hurt himself."
Tebow admitted after practice he was a bit "frustrated" to fumble multiple times on the center-quarterback exchange, but said he won't let it get him down.
"It's obviously all new guys out here, throwing to new receivers, getting snaps from new centers, so it's a lot to get adjusted to," said Tebow, who weighed in at 236 pounds Monday morning, nine pounds lighter than his Florida playing weight. "But I've been pretty used to dealing with a lot of criticism since eighth, ninth grade, so I can handle it."
In fact, all three quarterbacks on the South roster come from shotgun-based offenses, so Tebow didn't look too out of place trying to take snaps in a pro-set.
"Getting them under center right now on a regular basis is something that obviously all of the teams are going to want to see," said Dolphins coach Tony Sparano, who is coaching the South team this week. "They're going to have to operate under center in our league, so that's going to be important. I think that combination takes a little time, so as the week goes on that will get better and better. In fact it got better during practice today."
Tebow played almost his entire four-year college career out of the shotgun, though he began preparing for the NFL this past year by taking snaps under center in practice and a couple during games.
Tebow said the transition to a more traditional offense won't be too daunting a task.
"It's still just playing football and understanding the schemes," he said. "I feel like I'll be OK."

The Eagles' drafting of QB Nick Foles in Round Three this spring was met with some confusion in league circles. One, it was deemed a bit too high for Foles, who was rated as a lower-round prospect by many. Two, style-wise, Foles was a drastic change from starter Michael Vick. And three, scouts labeled Foles' footwork as being quite poor for a prospective NFL quarterback, especially after what was deemed to be a subpar Senior Bowl performance.
Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg said he can vouch for the last point wholeheartedly as being a falsehood.
"I like his feet," Mornhinweg told PFW. "I thought maybe, in evaluating him (at University of Arizona), he didn't always use them correctly. But he has good feet and has used them well here."
Part of the problem, Mornhinweg speculates, was protection. The Wildcats' offensive line had combined for one start heading into Foles' senior season, and it took its toll.
"He got killed back there," Mornhinweg said, "but that answered questions about his toughness. He's a tough kid, and you could see it."
That also is a good trait to have considering the Eagles' current QB situation. Starter Michael Vick has bruised ribs, having been knocked out twice in his four preseason series this year, and Mike Kafka currently is out with a broken left (non-throwing) hand.
On the one hand, it works to Foles' benefit in that he will play a lot in the final two preseason games, earning invaluable experience in the process. But on the other, it leaves the position in serious doubt.
Vick's health has been a question nearly his entire career — he has one 16-game season to his name (back in 2006) — and remains a pivotal concern in what might be a flashpoint season in Philadelphia. The team carries massive expectations, with many people talking Super Bowl, and yet Vick's contract has an out that would allow the Eagles to release him from his $100 million contract and minimize the damage to the salary cap.
Kafka's status with the team is unknown at this point, and the other QB on the roster, Trent Edwards, hasn't been special in the preseason.
The Eagles have yet to name a second or third quarterback, and they aren't likely to do so until cutdown day to the 53-man roster on Aug. 31. Foles has locked up a spot on the team with an excellent preseason so far, and there is a strong likelihood that he could be backing up Vick when the team opens in Week One at Cleveland.
And, as we've seen with Vick on the field, that means Foles will have to be on ready alert and almost certainly would be called upon at some point this season, just as Kafka was more than once in 2011.
If that's the case, Mornhinweg appears happy with where the rookie QB is at.
"I liked him coming out," he said, "and when I saw him in minicamps, I liked him a little more. And when I saw him here in training camp, I liked him even more than that.
"It has been a steady progression with him. He has made some plays, and this isn't too big for him. He fits right in. We haven't named (a QB pecking order) yet, but he's right there in it."

Briggs backed that up a day later, saying his feelings are "very similar." He really took issue with Finley for telling FOXSportsWisconsin.com the Bears might be better off with linebacker Brian Urlacher sidelined by a hamstring injury. The Packers tight end was quoted as saying Chicago is not "losing too much if he's out." Briggs responded, "He's an idiot."

The Chicago Bears have agreed to a one-year contract extension with Lance Briggs, keeping the Pro Bowl linebacker through the 2014 season. The Bears announced the deal on Wednesday. Financial terms were not immediately released.||||||| Briggs pushed hard for a new contract at the start of last season, but the Bears wouldn't budge. With three years left on a six-year, $36 million contract, general manager Jerry Angelo basically told Briggs at the time to leave him alone when the linebacker asked for permission to seek a trade if he couldn't get a renegotiated deal before the season. Angelo was fired after an 8-8 finish and he has been replaced by Phil Emery.
Briggs says a gap between players and management is affecting team morale. Briggs tells Comcast SportsNet Chicago "there's a big transition going on right now in Chicago" and that "players and the management are not seeing eye-to-eye on a lot of different issues and a lot of different players' situations." He made the comments Tuesday for a show that airs Thursday night.||||||| Briggs pushed hard for a new contract before the season. Running back Matt Forte wants a new deal, and safety Chris Harris requested a trade before Tuesday's deadline after being held out of last week's game against Minnesota. Briggs says the issues take "away from wanting to go out on the field and just play."

A group of activists pushing for research on medicinal marijuana have filed a petition to recall Arizona State Sen. Kimberly Yee.
The Arizona Veterans Assistance Committee filed to recall the Phoenix Republican after she blocked legislation that would have allowed the University of Arizona to use a state fund for medical marijuana research. Yee refused to hear House Bill 2333 in the Senate Committee on Education.
The bill would have allowed the state to pay for some of the research into marijuana as a treatment for military veterans with PTSD. The bill had bipartisan support when the Arizona House of Representatives approved it March 10.
Yee says no state money should be used for the research.
"The money was put aside for this research from our general fund, from the Arizona medical marijuana program and so it's not even taxpayer dollars and we really need this research because were losing 22 of our soldiers every day in America to PTSD symptoms. They're taking their own life.. suicide.. 22 a day is too much and when we have this natural medicine that they can use as an alternative to the pharmaceuticals that our trusted doctors are giving them which are triggering these symptoms and having them commit suicide, we want to help," said Kathy Inman, state director for NORML in Arizona.
The group has until August 2 to turn in 18,297 signatures.
Yee told FOX 10 last month that she would prefer money made from the sales of medical marijuana cards to go toward a campaign urging young people not to smoke pot.
Statement for Senator Yee on HB 2333:
"It is
unfortunate that the supporters of HB 2333 have decided to distort the intent
of the bill and the reason I did not hear this bill in the Senate Education
Committee. I am not opposed to university research to assist
veterans. In fact, last year I was the lead sponsor of the legislation
that even allowed for such research to occur at the University of Arizona,
working with veterans and researchers around the table to make sure that bill
Because of my
concerns about limited state funds, I received assurances from those supporting
such research that funds would come from the federal government or private
donations and that no state money would be used. Today, they have turned
their story around and have broken their promise. My voting record shows
I support veterans and research. This is about how we should use limited
state resources and be wise stewards of our taxpayer dollars.
policymakers, we have to ask if this takes us down the path of legalizing the
recreational use of marijuana in Arizona. The bill I proposed this year,
SB 1389, using those same funds would educate our youth about the dangers of
recreational marijuana and pay for public service announcements to prevent drug
I am currently
working with those in our Senate chamber to determine the best legislative
solution for this issue before we end our legislative session. Until
those discussions are finalized, I cannot go into further details at this

text: I do quite a bit of printing, including the newsletter for our local tractor club, and my old Laserjet was getting worn, so about a year and a half ago I bought a Kodak Office printer intending for it to take over the duties, but it was not a good idea. After messing with it for quite a while, I have now replaced it with an HP Officejet 8600 Premium. I have been using it for a couple weeks and giving it a pretty good workout, I have been impressed. It prints at a speed rivaling the older lasers, and the ink cartridges while not as cheap as the Kodak print much longer and the cost per page is lower than a laser. Automatically prints on 2 sides, will scan and copy 2 sides, as well as fax 2 sided documents. The 8600, come in 3 versions, and I bought the Premium which comes with two 250 sheet trays, in addition it also came with a full set of starter ink cartridges, plus a set of full size color cartridges. The black and 3 colors are all separate cartridges, so you can replace them as needed, including the individual colors. It comes with some pretty decent scanner software, including scan to pdf. Pictures look fairly good, but it is NOT a photo quality printer, it is a business printer, with wifi and e-print capabilities.

A Battery Creek High School employee has been arrested on one count of sexual battery of a student after an investigation revealed inappropriate conduct.
The mother of a 16-year-old Battery Creek High School student contacted sheriff's deputies Thursday morning after the mother found a series of communications on her son's phone between her son and an individual named Megan Snipes.
The mother recognized the name as that of the school's psychologist, whom her son had been seeing regularly. In light of the sexual overtone of the conversations, she requested to file a report at the sheriff's office.
Investigators made contact with both the student and the suspect, 29-year-old Megan Michelle Snipes. The investigation confirmed that on Oct. 18, Snipes engaged in a sexual act with the victim in the area of Bob Jones Field on Jones Avenue in Beaufort, according to the BCSO.
Snipes was affiliated with a public secondary school in an official capacity for the Beaufort County School District at the time of the incident.
The incident was reportedly consensual with no aggravated coercion or force.
Snipes was transported to the Beaufort County Detention Center where she will remain awaiting a bond hearing. The investigation is ongoing at this time, and anyone with information is asked to contact either Investigator Sgt. C. Wilcon at 843.255.3409.

Tonight's Powerball jackpot is worth at least $325 million and had millions in the tri-state purchasing tickets.
To win the jackpot, you have to match all five regular numbers, plus the Powerball.
So what would you do if you won?
"I would hide the money, said one Powerball ticket buyer. "You hear so many stories about people losing money then spend the rest of the time remembering where I hid it."
Another would-be winner said, "I would disappear, take care of my kids and I would definitely disappear."
In the spirit of the holidays and Sandy's aftermath, charity is high on the list.
"A lot now would go to Hurricane Sandy victims," said one Powerball hopeful. "Everybody that lost everything I'd be very generous to all of them – a lot of people less fortunate right now."
The winning numbers will be drawn at 10:59 p.m.

As part of a range of new road safety initiatives to make our drivers and roads safer, a tougher driving test was introduced in 2007.
The test focuses on hazard perception and has been designed for learners with extensive driving experience.
Before you take the test, we recommend you read A guide to the Driving Test. It outlines what you need to know and be able to do to pass the Driving Test. You can download the guide from the box at the bottom of this page, or pick up a copy from any registry.
The on-road Driving Test assesses your driving skills, decision-making, awareness of other road users, and how you share the road with other traffic. If you pass this test, you progress from a learner licence to a provisional P1 licence.
To be eligible to take this test you must:
- Be at least 17 years of age and if under 25 you must have held a learner licence for at least 12 months.
- Have completed at least 120 hours of log book driving practice including 20 hours of night driving.
Note: drivers aged 25 years and over are exempt from the 12 month tenure and log book requirements.
When you're ready to take your driving test you'll need to make a booking and pay a test fee. You can book the test online at myTests, by calling 13 22 13 or at any registry.
Applicants that are unsuccessful in passing the driving test must wait a minimum of seven days before reattempting the test.
For more information on the P1 licence use the related link.
The legal alcohol limit in NSW for all learner and provisional (P1 and P2) licence holders is zero.

The Pac-12, home to a whole bunch of really, really fun new coaches and two potential national champs:
The SEC, headlined by new guys Missouri and Texas A&M, retooled LSU and Alabama, and John L. Smith:
The Big Ten, rocked by scandal but still featuring a return to power by a pair of heavyweights:
The Big 12, sure to see its TOUCHDOWNS PER SECOND increase now that West Virginia's aboard, as long as TCU's insistence on playing defense doesn't ruin it:
The Big East, which... yep, based on postseason success, it probably does deserve to show up here along with the four power conferences, no matter how many of those BCS wins came via a team that's gone now:

By George Bremer
The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
Taylor Rogers took a long look at the Nick Muller Memorial Baseball Tournament MVP plaque after receiving it Sunday during the annual post-tournament banquet at The Edgewood golf and dining club.
It's a view many Pendleton Heights stars have enjoyed before him.
With an 8-1 victory in the championship game against Anderson last weekend, the Arabians extended their Muller record to five tournament titles. On Sunday, Rogers' election as Most Valuable Player made Pendleton Heights the first team to win that award four times.
Ethan Wilson was the first Arabian to claim the prize in 2006. He later was joined by Sean Collins (2008) and Zach Dowden (2011). Rogers' honor breaks a tie between Pendleton Heights and Highland, which also had three tournament MVPs.
The Arabians' most recent winner might also be the least expected. He's spent the past two seasons on the varsity without much opportunity to prove himself on the mound.
After a two-hit, six-strikeout performance against the high-powered Indians, however, Rogers won't be sneaking up on anyone the rest of the season.
"I felt like I was ready last year," Rogers said Sunday. "Maybe not. But to be able to come out and prove it this year was nice."
Rogers' rise is emblematic of his team.
Pendleton Heights is filled with new faces after losing a large senior class to graduation and watching head coach Bill Stoudt step down last summer after 32 years in charge of the program.
Just as Rogers is proving he's capable of carrying on the Arabians' long-standing tradition of excellence on the pitching mound — he also threw a five-inning shutout in Pendleton Heights' first-round dismantling of Madison-Grant — the team is proving it can stand up to the program's high expectations.
"I think (senior) Brogan (Gary) put it best," new Arabians coach Travis Keesling said. "We're trying to tell people who we are. We did lose a lot from last year, but these guys have just been biding their time waiting in the wings."
It's likely no one's wait felt longer than Rogers'.
He served his time behind stars like Dowden and Mitch Patishall — who is currently pitching at the University of Cincinnati — and has wasted little time taking advantage of his first extended opportunity.
The senior's early success is not a surprise to Keesling, who said confidence has been the biggest change in Rogers' game.
"You saw it in the championship game, and we're seeing it game-by-game," Keesling said.
In four appearances this season, Rogers already has thrown two complete games. He's 3-0 overall and has pitched to a 1.09 ERA in 19 1/3 innings with 15 strikeouts and just 12 hits allowed.
He and fellow senior Cody Altherr (1-1, 1.70 ERA) give the Arabians a strong 1-2 punch atop the rotation.
Pendleton Heights (6-2) has responded with five straight victories, including an 8-2 decision against Hoosier Heritage Conference rival Delta on Saturday. The Arabians host Shenandoah today and travel to New Castle on Wednesday before holding another celebration Friday.
On that evening, Pendleton Heights' Field of Dreams officially will be renamed in honor of Stoudt in between games of a doubleheader against HHC rival Rushville.
Fittingly, the Arabians have been winning in exactly the same fashion Stoudt espoused — with strong pitching, solid defense and an opportunistic offense.
"That's what's worked for us this year," Keesling said. "We're not a team that's going to hit a lot of home runs. Pitching and defense is what wins baseball games."
The Arabians' three wins in the Muller tournament helped them silence some of their early doubters. But it's just a start.
Pendleton Heights has designs on winning the HHC crown and adding a sectional championship to their hardware haul in late May.
So, while Rogers was rightfully proud of his team's early success Sunday, he's already looking ahead.
"Coach Keesling is always talking about the next 200 feet," Rogers said. "We're trying to move on from that (Muller title) and move on to the next goal."
