Dawson Community College is partnering with BEAR (Business Expansion And Retention) and SBDC (Small Business Development Center to facilitate the Incumbent Worker Training Program. Based on the success of the two-year pilot program approved by the 2007 Legislature, this program will provide job training funds for small businesses to re-train workers to meet changing market demands.
Small business owners can call MaryAnn Vester DCC Outreach Coordinator (377-9409) to sign up. "This is a tremendous opportunity for small business owners to train their current employees at little to no cost to the employer" said MaryAnn. "DCC can provide hands on, specialized training working with the employee to update their skills".
"The upgrading of employees skills is critical during this economic recovery; this program provides employers and employees alike a much needed tool," said Labor Commissioner Keith Kelly. "The Incumbent Worker Training Program is a good way to help prevent unemployment and layoffs by developing the capacity of those who are still working."
"I am very grateful for this program," said Alicia Moe, Co-Owner and General Manager of Cream of the West in Harlowton. "I was in dire need of marketing training, and this program was essential in helping me afford to participate in professional trainings and get the skills I need. I've used the newly acquired marketing skills to open up new markets for some of our products. For example, the expansion of "Montana Crunch" markets is directly connected to a training called Eureka! Winning Ways sponsored by the Montana Manufacturing Extension Center. I've also learned the positive impact of highlighting healthy, Montana-made products."
The Incumbent Worker Training Program can pay up to $2,000 dollars each year for tuition, fees, books and related training costs per full-time employee, while part-time employees can receive up to $1000 dollars per year. The small business employer must match the grant at 25%.
"Participating in the Incumbent Worker Training Program is a smart business decision, especially with the economy the way it is." said Denise Bassett, Co-Owner of Big Bear Electric in Livingston. "This program helped us re-train our workers to keep up with green and energy saving technology changes in our industry."
To be eligible, small businesses must have been in business in Montana for at least a year and be duly registered as a business with the Secretary of State. The employer must have no more than 20 employees in one location, and no more than 50 statewide. Eligibility can be determined by local Business Expansion and Retention (BEAR) teams, local Small Business Development Councils and the Montana Manufacturing Extension Center at MSU Bozeman. Businesses who are interested but have no direct contact with these business support and education entities can contact their local Job Service office for more information.
MaryAnn Vester, DCC's Director of Outreach, can also be reached on the web at dawson.edu.

The Tigers are preparing to face the Yankees in the first round of the 2011 playoffs, and while they haven't yet released their official playoff roster, they have given away three-quarters of their ALDS rotation. Hold on to something, because these names might surprise you:
Justin Verlander
Doug Fister
Max Scherzer
Sure enough, the Tigers' best three starters will start the first three games, in order of season performance. Verlander will oppose CC Sabathia in what could turn out to be an incredible Game 1, and then behind him, Jim Leyland will turn to Doug Fister's late-onset Cliff Lee-ness, and then Max Scherzer's considerable strikeout rate. Given that the Yankees will be down to Freddy Garcia by the time Game 3 rolls around, the Tigers have to be feeling pretty good.
It's currently unknown whether a potential Game 4 start would go to Brad Penny or Rick Porcello. Penny was bad this season while Porcello was less bad, so that seems pretty obvious to me. Leyland has already said that Verlander will not pitch on short rest.

Heavy swell scuppers Falmouth cruise visit
Updated 10:08am Monday 17th June 2013 in News
More than 1,000 passengers were unable to disembark from the 65,000-ton cruise ship Marina this week as a heavy south easterly swell prevented their landing.
The ship was anchored close to Pendennis Point on Monday morning on a cruise call but, due to the swell, the ship's and local tenders could not be safely deployed.
Instead, just a stone's throw from shore, her mainly American and Canadian passengers could only catch a glimpse of Pendennis Castle.
The luxury vessel took on bunkers from the Cap Mejean bunkering tanker before sailing for Southampton.
Australian passengers aboard the Island Sky were more fortunate. The mega-yacht looking cruise ship berthed on County Wharf from where excursions were made to Trebah Gardens at Mawnan Smith and to St Michael's Mount at Marazion.
The ship sailed late on Monday evening for Tresco on her Round Britain Cruise.

This ship would have been too big to have got alongside even if the Harbour was dredged?
Does any one in their right mind think that Falmouth port can be dredged deep anough to take such large ships.

Fact this ship only came to Falmouth for fuel, not a stopover. It could have come in to the shelter of estrury and disembarked passengers from shelter on the leeward side but this would have taken too much time unless staying for a week, it wasn't that rough because the refuelling was done in open water?

Falmouth is just being left behind the rest of the world, and as such will miss out dramatically. Falmouth should have a link to and from the continent (France/Belgium etc) as well on a regular basis.
Stop stalling and start dredging.

---- — Sited in the heart of Salem's distinguished McIntire District, find the Albert Goodhue House, circa 1893. This historic manse, listed by the Sullivan Team of RE/MAX Advantage Real Estate for $825,000, features every stunning period detail that one might expect here. From corner quoins to cornice dentil moldings to an astounding five fireplaces, this home stands true to its turn-of-the-century roots.
"This house is a spectacular example of the Colonial Revival style, combining elements from Georgian Colonial and Federal vernaculars," says broker/owner Kathleen Sullivan. "This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of our North Shore Americana."
In addition to its obvious historic relevance, this property affords a lucrative income opportunity, as well. At present, the house is configured as a three-family. The two-story owner's unit is complete with an exceptionally grand foyer, spacious living room with fireplace, oak paneled dining room, in-home office, luxurious Jacuzzi bath, and a granite and stainless kitchen. Sharing the level above are two bedrooms, a dressing room and a second bath with shower.
Two rental units, one on the second floor and the other on the third, offer open and airy living rooms and bedrooms, fireplaces, fully applianced kitchens, and generous closet space.
"This property must really be seen to be fully appreciated," Sullivan says. "There is a lot of flexibility with the floor plan. One buyer might want to make a first-floor master suite, while another buyer may simply want to convert the house back to a single-family. With 15 rooms and over 5,000 square feet of living space, there are so many possibilities."
Larger than the average homes of the day, this house features many exaggerated and thoughtfully preserved details, such as overstated window frames, showy dormer pediments, cornice console brackets and embellished round-arched dormers. Notwithstanding these historic touches, one will also find many modern improvements, including updates to the main kitchen, the addition of a porch and patio, an in-ground sprinkler system, and a professionally landscaped private yard with plush gardens.
Mere steps from an active downtown, the appeal of this home is made even greater thanks in part to its desirable proximity to area museums, the commuter rail and the waterfront.
According to Sullivan, "This is a splendid representation of a significant period in Salem. It is everything you would expect from a historic property."
An open house is planned at 87 Federal St., Salem, on Sunday from noon to 1:30 p.m. For more information, or to schedule a private viewing, call Kathleen Sullivan at 978-927-9199.
AT A GLANCE 15 rooms 5+ bedrooms 4.5 baths 5,011 square feet Parking for 5 cars $825,000 LISTED BY The Sullivan Team RE/MAX Advantage Realty 978-927-9199 firstname.lastname@example.com www.SullivanTeam.com

Firefighters are trying to figure out what caused a fire that shut down a paper mill in Lowndes County overnight.
Just before midnight, firefighters were dispatched to the Packaging Corporation of America in Clyattville.
The fire was confined to electrical wiring in the ceiling of the turbine generator room.
There were no injuries or major damage to equipment. PCA officials say workers are now repairing the wiring.
When it's complete, they'll start up production again. The large mill manufactures container board.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: December 15, 2011
Columbia College Chicago's MFA in Music Composition is one of the nation's few advanced degrees in writing music for film, television, and other visual media and is recognized by industry leaders as a genuine point of entry into this highly competitive field.
the hallmark of this two-year MFA program is the personal attention students receive from experienced faculty and working music and film professionals
The hallmark of this two-year MFA program is the personal attention students receive from experienced faculty and working music and film professionals. In a supportive environment students prepare for successful careers as composers by undertaking serious creative and technical studies, building strong portfolios, engaging in collaborative projects across disciplines, and developing vital industry connections.
The path to artistic and professional accomplishment begins with four semesters on campus in Chicago's South Loop. Students have access to state-of-the-art facilities and embark on an intense interdisciplinary course of study that draws upon the resources of five academic departments: Music, Film & Video, Audio Arts & Acoustics, Theatre, and Television.
students are equipped with all the tools they need to create distinctive music in response to a variety of dramatic problems and to present their work across multiple platforms
The carefully calibrated curriculum examines the unique complexities of writing music for film and incorporates all related aspects of music production—from composing and orchestration to in-studio recording and mixing—and all applications of the craft—from film and television to video game and live performance scoring. Students are equipped with all the tools they need to create distinctive music in response to a variety of dramatic problems and to present their work across multiple platforms.
In the setting of the nation's largest film school, music composition students have the opportunity to develop career-building relationships with peers across disciplines. They interact with a diverse group of up-and-coming filmmakers and other students of the dramatic arts and establish meaningful professional networks which accompany them into the field. The vibrant cultural landscape of Chicago provides the backdrop for study in this exciting, collaborative college environment.
The program culminates with a five-week summer semester in Los Angeles. In the heart of Hollywood at the historic Raleigh Studios-the longest continuously operating studio in the country-students gain real-world experience in the creative, technical, and business aspects of the craft through focused tutorials in conducting, scoring and career development. The experience is enhanced by direct exposure to the profession through industry internships and is enlivened by face-to-face encounters and mentorships with representatives of the field. Among those who have contributed to the program are: composers Danny Elfman and David Newman; studio music heads Chris Montan, Robert Kraft, and Paul Broucek; and composer agents Robert Messinger and Maria Machado.
the program culminates with a five-week summer semester in Los Angeles
The thesis, often completed during the Los Angels semester, is a score for a short film or video project that is written, produced, and conducted by the student for live recoding with a studio orchestra. Many graduates choose to remain in Los Angeles after completing their project, using their industry connections, mature portfolio, and comprehensive training as a launch pad for their career. Those who have done so then become a source of professional help and support to future graduates, furthering the program's goal of infusing the field with a new sense of artistry and purpose.

Giancarlo Stanton is one of the most exciting young players in recent memory, which is why the nation is devastated that he could miss Opening Day. Well, the nation should be. I'll bet the trending topics on Twitter are something about Beyonce or Adele right now, but there should really be something about Giancarlo Stanton's knee. The guy might miss Opening Day, people!
From the Palm Beach Post:
"It's kind of tough to make sure your legs are in shape without being able to run."
Asked if he had a level of concern in terms of being ready April 4, Stanton said: "It's a strong topic. Everybody needs at-bats…"
But Stanton is healthy enough to take batting practice every day, likely scaring the hell out of some poor older man whose life is being guaranteed by some wimpy mesh screen. And the most important part of the article might be with the reminder towards the end.
Last spring, he played in just six Grapefruit League games because of leg issues, going 7-for-18 with 2 home runs and 10 RBI.
He went on to lead to the Marlins with 34 home runs and 87 RBI.
Stanton will play through discomfort. Just not in the Grapefruit League. Makes sense. Get better, Giancarlo. The nation turns its lonely eyes to you.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire group is using the 150th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address to dedicate a sundial to Union veterans of the Civil War.
Through the years, Grand Army of the Republic chapters in various states dedicated memorial sundials to veterans, but the one that was dedicated in 1942 in New Hampshire has since become lost.
The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, which is related to the Grand Army of the Republic, is holding a dedication ceremony for a new sundial on Tuesday at the State House Plaza.
The event is being held on the 150th anniversary of the dedication of the Gettysburg National Cemetery by President Abraham Lincoln. At that event, he presented the Gettysburg Address. The address will be read at the sundial dedication.
"The Sons of the Union Veterans of the Civil War-New Hampshire Department feels that not only is it an honor and privilege to replace the missing sundial, it is also our duty as descendants the Grand Army of the Republic to do so," said David Nelson, New Hampshire Department deputy commander.

Is Facebook causing marriages to split?
Not for Dafina and Ahmad Ward. They've been Facebook friends since 2009 and say they take a very light, open approach to the social networking sight.
"It's not for me to vent about him and how he didn't do the dishes or didn't pick up the socks," Dafina Ward laughs. "And he's not going to go on there and talk about how I used his towel that morning!"
But the two say they have had serious conversations about the site.
"If there's anyone we even remotely dated at one point, I'm saying, 'Such and such friended me today,'" Ahmad Ward says while patting his wife on the knee.
But not every couple is enjoying Facebook.
"There have been a number of couples who report that Facebook has been an issue and they're experiencing some significant stressors regarding that and how to address it and manage it," says Marriage and Family Counselor Tyana Alexander.
She's seen cases where Facebook has become a third party in the marriage. Sometimes it's one spouse spending too much time chatting while neglecting their partner in the process. For some, that can lead to jealousy, arguments and even divorce.
"A lot of spouses are fed up with it," says Attorney Eric Guster.
He says he sees the issue of Facebook affecting mainly younger couples age 45 and under. And of those seeking divorce, he says close to half cite the other spouse's involvement on Facebook as part of the problem. He says people use inbox messages and post pictures on Facebook, many times not realizing those things can be used as evidence in court.
"You can subpoena all inbox messages...all postings," Guster says. "And people should be cautious about what they put on there, because it's still saved although you delete that information. It's saved out there. So it can be subpoenaed."
Alexander says it is possible for married couples to have individual Facebook pages. But she advises them to have a conversation about it first.
"If I have my own account, is it okay if I have an old friend or lover from high school?" she suggests as a question to ask. "If I want to see someone or be friends with someone from a year ago, are you okay with that? And you can have these open lines of communication with your partner to decide what would be the best option for you two as a team."
The Wards agree.
"I think if you have that trust, it's not even just about Facebook," Dafina says. "Do you trust him when he leaves the house? When he's out with friends? When he's on the phone? And if you can't answer 'yes' to those questions, why would Facebook be any different?"

Thomas made the most of his opportunity.
The senior running back lit up Cordova for 229 yards and three touchdowns on just eight carries in the Bulldogs' 45-6 season-opening victory.
Thomas helped break open the game with his first score, a 59-yard touchdown in the opening quarter.
He added his most impressive score, a 92-yard touchdown in the third quarter. With Dora deep in its own territory, Thomas broke to the sideline and outraced Cordova defenders to the end zone. Thomas added a 37-yard score in the fourth.
Behind Thomas' efforts, Dora racked up an impressive 458 yards on the ground in the win.
Thomas is the Daily Mountain Eagle's Offensive Player of the Week.
On the defensive side of the ball, Sumiton Christian shut down Shades Mountain Christian in Friday's opener, 35-0.
Linebacker Aaron Tucker led the way, registering 11 tackles, a pair of sacks and a tackle for loss in the win. The Eagles' defense held Shades Mountain to 115 total yards in the game, including minus-13 yards on the ground.
Tucker is the Daily Mountain Eagle's Defensive Player of the Week.
Tucker also added a pair of touchdown receptions (20 and 37 yards) from quarterback Austin Clark.
Other top performances last week:
Parrish's Jermichael Harris gave Oakman problems all night in the Tornadoes' 33-24 victory Friday night.
Harris had 262 all purpose yards and three touchdowns for the Torandoes. He rushed for 142 yards and two scores (47 and 40 yards) on 12 carries. Harris also had 112 return yards, including a 70-yard kickoff return for a score and he hauled in one pass for 10 yards.
•Dora's Caleb May rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown on four carries and also completed a pair of passes for 51 yards and a score in the Bulldogs' win over Cordova.
•Lynn's Brody Meeks and Dakota Bell had a hand in all five of the Bears' touchdowns in Friday's 38-25 victory over Winston County. Bell rushed for 80 yards and a pair of touchdowns while Meeks rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown, passed for another 65 yards and a touchdown and also returned an interception 30 yards for a score.
•In his first varsity start at quarterback, Curry's Bradley Loggins threw three touchdown passes (18, 20 and 72) in the Yellow Jackets' 58-13 victory over Carbon Hill in the season opener.
•Two Meek players topped the 100-yard mark on the ground in the Tigers 21-20 overtime victory over Appalachian. Running back Cameron Hallmark rushed 25 times for 166 yards and a touchdown while Seth Newton picked up 114 yards on 13 carries as Meek won its region opener for the first time since the 2006 season.
•Sumiton Christian's DeMonte Hobbs rushed for a pair of touchdowns (29, 17) and 94 yards in the Eagles' 35-0 victory over Shades Mountain Christian.
•Parrish's defense forced four fumbles in a 33-24 win over Oakman on Friday. Chris Evans led the team with eight tackles, one tackle for loss, one sack and a fumble recovery. Jaylan Clay had two tackles and five pass deflections.
•Walker's Quadrekas Key had six receptions for 116 yards and a touchdown. He also added a pair of interceptions, returning one 64 yards for a touchdown to account for both Walker scores in a 42-14 loss at Cullman. Blake Moore led the Vikings with 15 tackles while Austin Mansell had 12.
•Oakman's Jase Trotter had a hand in four touchdowns in Friday's loss to Parrish. Trotter threw a pair of touchdown passes (64, 9) and also rushed for two touchdowns (4, 6). He had 200 yards of offense (165 passing, 35 rushing). Defensively, Jeffrey Allen had 12 tackles, including three for loss.

Victory Lap
Fly gear is especially effective because the fish key in on small baits, and the fly offers a subtle presentation. It's also great sport, as I soon discovered.
Grassett instructs his anglers to cast beyond the rim of light and let the fly sweep through the illuminated cone, taking up slack as it does. The same technique works well with smaller soft-plastic jigs, like the D.O.A. C.A.L. series shad tails or 4-inch jerkbaits rigged weedless or with a 1/8-ounce jig head.
"The key when selecting lures is to match the bait and size," Grassett explained. "Most dock fish are targeting smaller baits, but in the spring, when the natural shrimp get bigger, 1/4-ounce plastic shrimp are very effective.
"When the bite is really on, I may get as many as 10 fish off a dock before I move," he said. "Other nights I might only catch a couple before they shut down and I try another spot. It just depends on how aggressive they are. If you get a good fish, the first thing it'll do is run back under the dock. Moving tides are best, especially on a new moon, because the shadow lines are more distinct. Dock fishing is good all year long, but the winter months are prime. Those fish will continue to feed until the water temperatures dip below 60 degrees." Water temperatures dictate daytime snook tactics too.
Rules of the Road
The next morning, Grassett and I launched in Sarasota Bay only to be greeted by an early cold front and easterly winds. With the cooling water, the fish had moved off the beaches and scattered into the bay. By the middle of March, many of those fish return to the beach troughs, Grassett said. As we cast jigs along the shore and over flats, the soft-spoken guide explained his daytime strategy.
"Ideal flats depths are 18 inches to three feet," he told me. "I look for snook along the edges of bars or in potholes on the flats. With really big tides, I'll also work along mangrove shorelines. You don't catch as many as at night, but those you catch are quality fish. A big snook for the Sarasota area is a 30-incher-plus."
Grassett typically uses soft-plastic lures during the day, although topwater plugs like MirrOlure Top Dogs and Heddon Zara Spooks are also good choices. On clear days Grassett ties on brighter jigs or jerkbaits, such as silver and glow patterns, while in overcast conditions he goes with darker colors. Contrasting colors, like in D.O.A. Carbonated lures, also trigger plenty of strikes.
"I like to slowly swim the shad tails with the occasional subtle twitch," he said. "With the jerkbaits, I tell my anglers to give it a very distinct twitch with the rod tip, let it fall and repeat. With either, I'm using the lightest jig head I can get away with, usually 1/16-ounce. That helps it from getting hung up on the bottom. And I'll often add a chug head and keep the rod tip up when it first lands so it spits water. That's real enticing."
The last two winters in Florida have been hard on cold-sensitive snook. Those that survived the frigid conditions are that much tougher and challenging now. But that's OK with Grassett. After all, you don't get to the top of the rankings by being a wuss.

Welcome to "Save Our Seeds"
"Save Our Seeds" (SOS) is a European initiative in favor of the purity of seeds against genetically modified organisms (GMO).Conventional and organic seeds should continue to be free of genetically modified organisms. Genetically modified organisms should not be imposed on farmers and consumers. Over 300,000 citizens and 300 organizations with more than 25 million members in all of Europe support the SOS petition for seed purity.
Apart from this main concern, Save Our Seeds coordinates more projects dealing with the discussion of genetic engineering, sustainable agriculture and food sovereignty – coupled with an international perspective. With its campaigns and initiatives, SOS links companies, politicians, scientists, farmers, and interested citizens; and wishes to lead a productive debate towards sustainable change.
Colourful variety not standardized uniformity!
On the 25th of April, Save our Seeds and Campact have launched a petition on the upcoming new EU regulation of seed marketing. The new regulation will de facto ban old and rare varieties and farmers varieties and threaten the exchange and selling of seeds of diversity.
The current draft regulation was written by DG SANCO. Before it becomes an official proposal of the EU-Commission, DG AGRI (Directorate General of Agriculture and Rural Development) and the DG ENVI (Directorate General for the Environment) have to agree to it's contents. At the moment there are several points of disagreement. The regulation will not be passed if 14 Commissioners vote against (ie no majority is reached). Each country of the EU has one commissioner in Brussels. The commissioners of DG AGRI and DG ENVI should vote against, so we need 12 more. Find the list of commissioners here:
The petition is demanding that proposed EU seed legislation must allow more diversity in our fields and on our plates, rather than destroying it. Traditional and local varieties must remain exempt from licensing or certification requirements. Strict rules, controls, inspections and costly permits should only apply to seeds and seed materials which are traded commercially, in large quantities. The free exchange of seeds and seedlings between farmers, gardeners and seed initiatives must be guaranteed and supported.
Only by growing a wide selection of fruits, vegetables and grains, can we ensure that our agriculture adapts to climate change, new diseases and pests. We want colorful variety not standardized uniformity!#

Chile: Farmer won lawsuit against Monsanto
José Pizarro Montoya, 38, a landless farmer and former producer of GMO between 2009-2010 season in Melipilla (RM), is the first Chilean and perhaps the only Latin American to won a lawsuit against Monsanto. He tried to reveal their case in transgenic seminar organized in Stone House on January 22 by Agriculture Minister Luis Mayol. There international and national speakers preached the benefits of genetically modified crops. Pizarro intervene just wanted to say that you did not recommend any farmer cultivating transgenic work for Monsanto export, because it could end up ruining like him, besides damaging the earth.

- Reviewed on: 04/23/2013
The good: The Samsung Galaxy S4 has Android 4.2.2, a fantastic camera, a powerful quad-core processor, and software solutions for just about every scenario -- including working as a TV/DVR remote. It's also comfortable in hand and has NFC, a user-replaceable battery, and a microSD storage slot.
The bad: Its screen is dimmer than competitors', its plastic design gives it a cheaper look than its rivals, and we found the Galaxy S4's power button turned on at undesirable times. Not all camera modes work as promised, and a long list of software features can quickly overwhelm and confuse.
The bottom line: Its laundry list of features require time and effort to truly master, but the Galaxy S4 is the top choice for anyone looking for a big-screen, do-everything smartphone.

Exactly as tech reviews describe it
by LonnieMGreen on February 23, 2014
Pros: Battery life is surprisingly good
Very fast processing speeds
Call quality is decent
Air Gesture is actually pretty good
Screen is nice and large with very good resolution display
Cons: S-Voice is still notoriously bad
Can't use the SD card for apps right now
Limited to 16gb of on board storage
Summary: It's the S4. There are plenty of tech reviewers out there who have done full work-ups on all the different features, so I'll just hit the main points ...
Summary: It's the S4. There are plenty of tech reviewers out there who have done full work-ups on all the different features, so I'll just hit the main points I noticed.
Battery Life:
The battery life is surprisingly good. I've had a number of these types of phones before, ones that are "cutting edge", and most of them have terrible battery life. I've had my S4 for almost a year now and the battery life is still very good. I do charge it nightly, but if I forget I can usually make it almost 2 full days on the charge. This of course assumes I'm not playing any full-screen games, keeping the screen on for any length of time, or checking Facebook (all of which significantly drain every phone's battery). One point on this though is that I've got most of the special Samsung features like S-Voice, Air View, Smart Pause, Smart Scroll, NFC, S-Beam, Multi-Window, and Smart Stay turned off. I do however keep Air Gestures on. I also have Bluetooth off most of the time, only turning it on when I need it, and I use the Tasker app to automatically disable my WiFi when I'm not near known connections like my house, my friends' houses, etc. If you keep Bluetooth on all the time, or WiFi on for the "location support" provided by Google, you're looking at about a 25% reduction in how long the battery will last.
Samsung apps and features:
As pretty much everyone that's rated Samsung devices in the last 3 years has said, just turn them off unless you're showing them off to a friend. The "eye detection" that's used for the Smart Pause, Smart Scroll, and Smart Stay not only eats battery like crazy while constantly trying to locate your face and eyes, but is delayed and spotty under normal usage conditions. The Air View and Multi-Window only work with a few apps, most of which are ones I never use to begin with, so it's not worth the battery cost and responsiveness costs of having them enabled (especially the Air View that eats even more power trying to detect your finger before it even touches the screen). The Air Gesture is actually pretty good, depending on which ones you've turned on, but anything that involves scrolling or pausing basically doesn't work, get an app like WaveControl for that instead. All the scrolling and pausing stuff, when it even works, only works with a few apps, once again mostly apps I never use. The S-Voice is still notoriously bad, unable to detect almost anything correctly and having an extremely limited set of commands that can be used. The automatic wake-up feature of it also drains battery so fast you'll be plugging the phone in for a full recharge twice a day even if you don't otherwise use it. The contacts app was a huge step forward from Samsung's last one, actually allowing contact integration from sources like Facebook, Twitter, etc, and joining and splitting of contacts in a reasonable manner. It still seems to have a few problems with selecting the default source for a joined contact getting overwritten by the latest data source to update (so you'll almost always see the latest Facebook picture of your contacts rather than ones from Google+ if Facebook syncs more frequently like mine does), but that's minor and can be fixed by saving the picture locally and selecting the local contact as your default. The calendar app is also a huge step forward, integrating all your calendar sources well and providing a nice mechanism for setting all the important fields from multiple calendar sources. Somehow despite a lot of the stock app updates they provide that have better integration for the features of Android, they still have what I believe to be one of the worst launchers of anyone (the home screen settings, display, etc). The first thing you should do is go get the free Nova Launcher, Go Launcher EX, or ADW Launcher (or any other for that matter), install it, and set it as your default. Every launcher out there is better in almost every way from the stock one and has been since well before the S4 even came out.
Size and construction:
The S4 was originally touted as having a "very large screen", albeit smaller than the Notes do, and they weren't kidding. The screen is nice and large, with a very good resolution display. It's not as good as a retina display, nothing else is that sharp, but it is significantly larger. The phone itself feels solid, and the metal bevel around the outside edge gives it that quality feel previous models didn't have. The battery cover is very thin plastic, so thin I worried about tearing it when putting in the battery and SIM card the first time, but it holds up really well and is much more sturdy than it initially feels. The screen is virtually unscratchable, and doesn't crack even with rough use. I accidentally dropped my phone down an entire flight of concrete stairs a few months ago, without any case on it whatsoever, and all I got was a single crack along one corner that doesn't impede the screen at all and can't be felt when running fingers over it. After almost a year of use, the only noticeable wear effects were on where the "metal" bevel edges come up to the edge of the face. The "metal" parts are starting to wear off (I keep my phone in my pocket without a case so it's sliding in and out of my jeans regularly) and reveal the sturdy white plastic they're actually constructed of.
Overall I would highly suggest this phone for anyone looking for a new one, even over the Note 3 that's supposedly a newer and larger screened model (mostly because of the battery life).

Lives up to the hype

Summary: My review applies to the Verizon model, in black. Verizon bumped their delivery date a week earlier than originally announced, which is welcome for me, since it puts the phone in my hands in time for A-Kon, an Anime convention with some 20,000 fellow geeks and techies in attendance. Choice of carriers admittedly impacts experience, not only in terms of quality of connections but also some bundled features. In my case, Verizon's proprietary backup assistant significantly streamlined the transition process, and I soon found my new phone downloading automatically all my apps and information, thus rendering unnecessary a significant portion of my handwritten transition process checklist--it's nice to be reminded that it's 2013, and Windows 98 is dead and buried.
I was impressed. I expected to be, given all the attention this phone has gotten. But I also had read about some of the gripes: allegations of a cheap outer casing, steep learning curve, and bloatware hogging a significant portion of the internal memory. One gripe was accurate: only a 16GB model was available, and the Octa-core processor was replaced with a less exotic four core CPU--though I learned that this was less a loss than I originally thought, since the eight core CPU was really more a battery-saving feature that only uses four cores at a time, and my own phone's four core unit was actually marginally faster. I found many of the other criticisms reaching and exaggerated. The phone feels sturdy, and the outer casing pretty solid. The patterned black trim and metallic frame does not look or feel cheap to me. I also found the learning curve less steep than expected; granted, I was going from Android 2.3 to 4.2. Some of the preinstalled widgets hogged a lot of screen real estate, but they could all be taken down and replaced with the icons and widgets the phone channeled through the cloud aether from my old phone's backups.
The bundled software including bloatware takes up about half the internal memory, leaving 8GB free. I added a 32GB SD card, though I'll probably swap it out for a 64. I was pleased how accessible the back panel was; my last phone buried the SD card in a way that the battery had to come out first. I'm well aware that other phones including the iPhone aren't upgradable. I do wish phones with 32 or 64 GB were available in the U.S.; the time is right for 128 GB mobile devices, though cloud storage and improving bandwidth may soon render the issue moot.
Camera and camcorder functions were streamlined, and I found it easy to point-and-shoot, with all of the legendary photo modes quietly tucked away when just wanting to grab a moment. I'm still early in trying out camera and video. I did test film a fireworks show last night and found night vision limited, with colors faded, particularly green and red. But, filming fireworks from a phone in default automatic mode (rather than the night mode I found shortly afterwards) is possible.
I'll avoid rehashing the specs or general features, as there's already been plenty of general talk about this phone. But, I felt it important to say that so far, it's living up to the high expectations, and that most of the drawbacks described are a bit reaching. It's not hard to use for someone already familiar with Android phones, once one gets past the first few minutes of learning the changes.

Best of the lot in 2013 with HTC One
by piyushxgupta on April 25, 2013
Pros: Removable or Changeable battery
Good Hardware
Cons: Requires Root to get rid of bloatware
Summary: I have read a lot about HTC one and Galaxy S4 comparison and they are only natural as these represent 2 best smartphones of 2013.
Yes, I take that HTC ...
Summary: I have read a lot about HTC one and Galaxy S4 comparison and they are only natural as these represent 2 best smartphones of 2013.
Yes, I take that HTC One has great looks, beats audio and fresh design... but what you need to give away for that is ability to change or upgrade the battery.
Any battery however good is it charges for 500 cycles if all the connections remain proper.. For a smartphone, its easy to achieve these cycles in 18 months or so..
Do I want to replace a 700 USD phone in such a short time.. sorry, I don't.
Moreover, if you look at some suppliers they give fatter batteries with replaceable covers. SO if you are on the move then it makes sense to change the 2600 mAH battery with 5000 mAH and still retaining reasonable looks, thanks to super slim structure of S4.
Come to the other difference, HTC One has LCD screen and it is common to have dead pixels in LCD after some time. AMOLED screens have no recorded problems like this.
Yes, the audio requires improvement but the included ear-phones house woofer and speaker to get a much rounded sound. Who listens to music or takes calls with speakerphone generally?
Now the plastic, well its much more likely that your phone will survive a drop if its plastic rather than polished metal design.
At the end it will come to personal preference, I have some bad exp. with HTC and their is a huge developer community doing things for Samsung, I fear being left out of exciting customizations like I did with my Dell Streak..
GS4 is for me..

Best all around Phone
by aigleias on May 23, 2013
Pros: Software,Camera, Screen, Speed, Storage, Battery, and oh yeah the build is just fine on this phone way better than you think. Yes htc one feels better but thats about it and yes if your smart they will both be in a case anyway.
Cons: Just 1, i wish it was aluminum so all the haters would stop complaining.

Summary: The S5 be Aluminum and people will still complain, people just hate when others are doing well, come on guys there just phones plus its good for comp. If iphone had air gestures all air air view everyone would be going nuts, instead iphone still has the same look form 2009, and HTC one is not even running the latest software and wont for a few months im not trying to hate but whats true is true. I had the htc one, the reasons i took s4 over the 1 was, the battery was not that good starting using at 8am by 1 it was dying come on guys u know its true, also pics a are good but u must be close if not the pics get all messed up cause of 4mp. thats my thoughts good luck.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 wins for now.
by MCTW1 on March 31, 2013

Summary: A lot of people are complaining that it is plastic. Plastic does not break as easy. People get cases for high end exterior phones that are plastic so what is the big deal. This phones specs are incredible and at the best of any phone on the market. Whether this phone is an iphone killer, probably not. The iphone 5s is due out some time this year and no matter if it has anything new, people are going to buy it. Every argument any apple fan has against androids is flawed. However a lot of fandroids have no idea what they are talking about. Overall the Samsung Galaxy S4 will come out as the best phone with the HTC One close behind. Although HTC One looks amazing, HTC phones usually have some flaws especially with battery. Whether some software is useless or not it is always easy to turn off and the battery on the S4 will meet expectations.

Outstanding Phone!

Summary: I've had the Galaxy S4 for only a couple of days, but this phone is amazing! I'm sure that as I continue to use it I'll find more and more to like about it.
The universal remote app is easy to set up and fun to use. If you don't like a certain feature, they are easy to turn off (from the pull-down menu. As far as all the complaints about the plastic construction,I think it's fine. I wouldn't carry it in a pocket unprotected like one of the other posters did, but that's just common sense. This phone is very light and the display is amazing. The camera is just as good as a standalone pocket camera. I could go on, but this phone is by far the best I've ever used.

Not worth the hype. Wait for the s5 to come out.
by HeyItsMeHi on August 16, 2013
Pros: Battery life
Large Screen
Many features, if you need them/know how to use them.
Cons: Glitchy
Freezes a LOT
Cracks VERY easily.
Cheap plastic
Hard to figure out.

Summary: I have gone through THREE of these already. If you want this phone, make sure you buy a REALLY good case for it, because if you so much as hiccup near this thing, the screen shatters. Aside from the screen, the phone is made of cheap plastic. My biggest problems are the glitches and the freezing. This is the third one I've had and theyve all done it. It freezes during all kinds of times, but it's most annoying when I try to make a phone call and try to hang up before leaving a voicemail... When it freezes like that, the only way to shut off the phone is to take off the back and remove the battery. I have to restart just about any app that i try to use, whether it's games or anything else about 1-3 times a day and a lot of times need to restart the phone when everything just starts crashing. I lost count of how many times ive gotten the notification saying "(insert app name here) has stopped responding." and shuts it down.
On the plus side, the battery life is way better than any droid ive ever owned and it does have a bright/wide screen.
I would recommend waiting for the s5, until samsung works out all the bugs.

This phone is a pleasure to use despite a few flaws.
by disappointedidealist on April 25, 2013
Pros: 4.2.2 runs great out of the box, and I think it's the best operating system out there. No hiccups in battery life, call quality, or camera use. The gimmicky features didn't do much to blow me away, but S Memo and S Health are nice features.
Cons: CNET summarized it well. Even as an experienced Android user (2.3 and 4.2 on the Nexus 7), there is quite a learning curve. The plastic I could do without, but mine will soon have an Otterbox. Hoping the power button is better under a case as well.
Summary: The most common complaints I've seen about the S4 is that it's too much like the S3 (it's very similar, but I feel the minor improvements do ...
Summary: The most common complaints I've seen about the S4 is that it's too much like the S3 (it's very similar, but I feel the minor improvements do warrant an upgrade - especially with the S3 still running you $100), and the plastic exterior. The plastic does feel slightly cheap, but most all phones use a case even with Kevlar backing. The plus side is the removable battery and SD card option, which you don't see on phones without a plastic backing (the iPhone and HTC One). If you're in the market for a new phone, particularly an Android (or if you're willing to try something that isn't running iOS) I'd definitely say to give this a try. As I stated, the learning curve is steep, but it's worth the journey.

The Current King of the Smartphones!

Pros: 5" screen, 13MP camera, LTE, 8 core processing, 2 GB RAM, wireless charging.

Summary: When the S4 was announced, I was slightly underwhelmed at the time, but once it sank in, I realized that I was more and more impressed. When it becomes available, it really will stand alone in a category all it's own as the premier smartphone. It's silly that there are people posting reviews that say something to the effect of "don't get me wrong, it's an awesome phone with amazing features and upgrades... but it's such a let down." Give me a break. This phone is the very definition of innovation and it is exactly what reasonable people expected from the next iteration of the best smartphone on the planet.

Fun, but NOT WORTH THE HYPE
by helloimerinm on May 9, 2013
Pros: AWESOME camera with awesome features
The CONCEPT of Air Gesture, Air View, Smart stay, Smart Scroll, Face unlock, etc is great, however these features do not work too smoothly.
Cons: Glitch-y software.
Freezes a LOT.
Crashes and restarts often.
Awesome features don't work well, or sometimes at all.
Overall, this phone was very overhyped.
Summary: Freezes/ restarts regularly, most apps crash the phone, occasionally I have to try to start the camera about 3 times before it will start and not say "Camera failed to ...
Summary: Freezes/ restarts regularly, most apps crash the phone, occasionally I have to try to start the camera about 3 times before it will start and not say "Camera failed to start" or something. Which also effects the face unlock when you try to use it. Air Gesture only works once in a while but when it does, it takes forever. You have to let your hand hover over it for about 3 seconds before swiping each time. Not worth using. Smart scroll is more of a hassel than anything else because you usually have to correct it with you hand anyway.
Software is not as easy to navigate as other Droids.
Personally, if you havent rushed out to get the S4 already, I think you should wait for the s5 or even s6. It will be a while before they make this a TRULY decent phone.

Vote "No" on Sanborn Article #7
I am writing to urge Kingston and Newton voters to defeat Sanborn Article #7. This is an attempt to rescind SB2 and return to the traditional meeting which would actually issue final votes on all non-elected office items on the warrant, this includes the budget. Logistically, there are several problems with this.
There is no mechanism for absentee voting; you have to be at the meeting, and sit through the entire meeting, in order to vote on all of the articles.
Couples with small children would have to choose one parent to vote and the other lose their vote because you're not sitting through this meeting for multiple hours with small children.
Working people who are required to be out of town or working during the meeting also lose their vote. There are programs that provide transportation for people to and from the polls who might not have their own transportation. Is anyone proposing to provide similar services for this meeting?
Sheer numbers also make this approach not feasible without a large drop in the number of people voting. In the 2012 election, nearly 2,400 people voted on the Sanborn District items. At the deliberative session, we had between 100 and 200 people and we half-filled the auditorium. If we had even half of the people who voted in 2012, that's 1200 people, the auditorium wouldn't suffice and I'm not sure we have anything which would.
The primary argument in favor of this is that many voters don't make the effort to inform themselves of the issues and see the articles for the first time in the voting booth. Sadly, the laws of our country don't require you to be informed in order to have the right to vote.
I would certainly urge you to become informed and understand the issues. The issue here is protecting your right to vote.

Stephanie Johnson of San Francisco and two friends from high school, who now live out of the area, drove to Point Reyes National Seashore on Thursday hoping to take a hike to one of the park's many secluded beaches.
But the group encountered a barricade in front of the Bear Valley Visitor Center and two rangers directing traffic.
"Are the beaches this way?" Johnson asked.
Point Reyes National Seashore Closed
"Yes, but the beaches are closed," replied John Dell'Osso, chief of interpretation with the National Park Service. "In fact, our whole national seashore is closed."
The ranger handed the group a map of the area's state and regional parks, which remain open. Disappointed, Johnson turned the car around.
"It's upsetting," she said. "Point Reyes is beautiful. This is what we wanted to do."
Her friend, Kaylee Platt, who is visiting from Boston, said the trio would probably find a local brewery and drink the day away.
"I have some choice words for the government right now," she said.
On day three of the federal government shutdown, rangers in the 401 national parks removed the last campers and locked the gates. Dejected visitors from the Grand Canyon to Yosemite were turned away from vacations that many had planned months in advance.
Mendocino National Forest, Muir Woods National Monument and recreation facilities at Lake Sonoma and Lake Mendocino that are run by the Army Corps of Engineers were all shut.
Near Point Reyes National Seashore, which sees 8,000 visitors a day in a typical October, the closure was starting to worry small business owners in west Marin County communities such as Olema and Point Reyes Station, who survive on the tourism dollars that the world-renowned park attracts.

LONDON (AP) -- All 20 English Premier League clubs enter the FA Cup this weekend after a grueling festive schedule, giving many exhausted players a chance to take a breather.
Chelsea begins its cup defense at Southampton on Saturday, with Rafa Benitez's side reeling from a four-game winning run being ended by Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday to remain fourth in the Premier League.
Striker Fernando Torres, who has started all 20 league matches this season, could make way for Demba Ba if the Senegal international completes his move from Newcastle.
"Fernando is one of the players who needs to rest. Two or three players have been playing too many games in the last weeks and months," Chelsea manager Benitez said. "Managing that was going well but against QPR it didn't work. Some of the players couldn't get to the level we were expecting.
"Without talking about names, if you have another striker you can play with two strikers if you need to. Or if you want to rest a striker then you can do that and at the moment we are a bit short."
In another meeting of topflight clubs in the third round on Saturday, Manchester United faces West Ham in a position of strength after establishing a seven-point lead in the title race over Christmas and New Year.
But despite not winning the FA Cup since 2004, manager Alex Ferguson's priority is the league and Champions League.
That means the 39-year-old Ryan Giggs and the 38-year-old Paul Scholes could be among the players to be rested for the trip to Upton Park.
"We have a big squad and you're not going to play every game," Giggs said. "The likes of me and Scholesy probably play fewer matches than a lot of the players but we know we have to be ready when we're called upon."
The cup, though, is a welcome distraction for teams like Newcastle, which is hovering above the Premier League relegation zone.
But the northeast club has a potentially tricky trip to the south coast on Saturday to face Brighton, having lost to the second-tier side in the fourth round last year.
"The FA Cup is a significant trophy and probably our best opportunity of winning something," Newcastle manager Alan Pardew said. "The Premier League comes first for us, but the FA Cup comes very much second in front of the Europa League and the League Cup."
Manchester City, which is second in the Premier League and won the FA Cup in 2011, also faces League Championship opposition when it hosts Watford on Saturday.
Liverpool will be hoping to avoid embarrassment when it plays away at nonleague side Mansfield, which plays in the fifth tier.
"The whole town is up for it," Mansfield manager Paul Cox said. "We want to give a good account of ourselves and make the supporters proud of our players. It's a fabulous time at the football club."
The lowest-ranked team remaining in the cup is seventh-tier side Hastings, which hosts Middlesbrough of the League Championship on Saturday having previously reached the first round only once.
Hastings is more famous for the battle in 1066 when the Normans under William the Conqueror defeated the English.
"This is a big deal for us," Hastings player-manager Sean Ray said. "It's our first-ever appearance in the third round so we've had a lot of people wanting to talk to us. It's been nice, but it's also been pretty hectic.
"But the players have been fantastic. I've had no trouble with anyone. They've all stayed pretty grounded."
Among Saturday's other matchups, Tottenham hosts Coventry in a rematch of the 1987 final which the visitors won, Aston Villa faces Ipswich, Sunderland is at Bolton, Stoke travels to Crystal Palace, Queens Park Rangers takes on West Bromwich Albion, Norwich is at Peterbrough, and Wigan hosts Bournemouth.
In an all-Premier League meeting on Sunday, Arsenal has a trip to south Wales to face Swansea for the first time since losing to them in the league last month.
In Monday's final third-round match, Everton travels to fourth-tier club Cheltenham.
