FXI Technologies Cotton Candy, Samsung Exynos 4210 dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 with a Mali-400
Samsung announces Exynos 5250, ARM Cortex-A15
Here is the press release:
[SEOUL] Nov 30, 2011 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., a world leader in advanced semiconductor solutions, announced today the industry's first dual-core processor samples based on the ARM™ Cortex-A15 core. Designed specifically for high-end tablets, Samsung's newest 2GHz dual-core Exynos 5250 utilizes 32nm high-k metal gate low-power process technology and will offer system-level designers an exciting new solution intended to meet the graphic-intensive, power-efficient requirements of these next-generation mobile products.
"The ARM Cortex-A15 brings unparalleled performance to our Exynos processor family and the exploding mobile marketplace," said Dojun Rhee, vice president of System LSI marketing, Device Solutions, Samsung Electronics. "Designers need an application processor platform that delivers full high definition multimedia capabilities, fast processing speed and high performance graphics to meet end users' expectation for a connected life on the go. The advanced low-power, high-performance processor technology of the new Exynos 5250 continues to deliver an unprecedented level of performance for users to enjoy a completely new mobile experience."
Samsung's new dual-core ARM Cortex-A15 based application processor, the Exynos 5250, is capable of processing 14 billion instructions per second (DMIPS, Dhrystone million instructions per second) at 2.0GHz, nearly doubling the performance over a current state of the art Cortex-A9-based dual core processor running at 1.5GHz capable of 7,500 DMIPS.
In particular, the Exynos 5250 design was architected to drive up to an industry leading 2560 x 1600 (WQXGA) display which reflects the significance of advanced display technology transitioning toward ever higher and sharper resolutions. These leading-edge features enable users to enjoy crisper video images on their mobile devices and deliver readability equivalent to real paper for an ultimate electronic reading experience.
To maximize power efficiencies at the system level, the Exynos 5250 has an embedded DisplayPort (eDP) interface that is compliant with panel self-refresh technology (PSR) applied to the timing controller (T-CON). The embedded PSR technology enables static images to be refreshed directly from the frame buffer memory incorporated in the T-CON, resolving the need for regular display refresh instructions to be made by the application processor in cases such as reading static web pages or e-books.
The 3D graphics processing capabilities, enhanced by more than four-fold over the 1.5GHz Cortex-A9 dual-core processor, and a stereoscopic 3D feature raise the bar of user experience on high-specification 3D gaming, user-interfacing and stereoscopic 3D video playback.
Moreover, the Exynos 5250 features a doubled memory bandwidth of 12.8 Gigabytes per second (GB/s) compared to current dual-core processors that support a maximum of 6.4GB/s to enable fast data processing features, superb 3D graphics and high-resolution display. This memory bandwidth is a key requirement for a processor to support WQXGA resolution displays.
Samsung's Exynos 5250 offers a host of peripheral functions including an embedded image signal processor enabling 8 Megapixel resolution images at 30 frames per second, a full HD 60 frame per second video hardware codec engine for high resolution 1080p video recording and playback, a HDMI 1.4 interface for sharp and crisp multimedia content transmission, along with a diverse scope of embedded booting device interfaces such as SATA, UART, USB and external ports such as USB3.0, eMMC4.5 and eSD3.0.
The Exynos 5250 is currently sampling to customers and is scheduled for mass-production in the second quarter of 2012.
Samsung roadmap guesses
Here is my speculation for some of the upcoming high-end Samsung Android phones based on the recently rumored new Samsung Exynos 4412 Quad-core ARM Cortex-A9 at 1.5Ghz, and based on looking at the Texas Instruments OMAP4 roadmap and thinking the faster OMAP4 processors are fully backwards compatible requiring little design and software changes for Samsung to upgrade:
- Galaxy Nexus 1.2Ghz OMAP4460 dual-core SGX540 308Mhz 45nm launching before Christmas
- Galaxy Nexus 1.5Ghz OMAP4460 dual-core SGX540 384Mhz 45nm around January/February
- Galaxy Nexus 1.8Ghz OMAP4470 dual-core SGX544 384Mhz 45nm around March/April
- Andromeda (Galaxy S3) 1.5Ghz Exynos 4412 quad-core Mali-T604 32nm around May/June/July
- Hydra (Galaxy Nexus 2) 2Ghz OMAP5 ARM Cortex-A15 SGX6 28nm around September
- Quasar (Galaxy S4) 2Ghz Exynos 5 ARM Cortex-A15 Mali-T658 28nm around November
I'm using the names Andromeda, Hydra and Quasar because I think Samsung may at some point stop using the Galaxy name in every new phone.
Samsung will likely also continue to release high-end phones using the best that Qualcomm and Nvidia can come with. Thus expect some Qualcomm Krait and Nvidia Tegra3 in some new Samsung phones also. The reason being Samsung is so big they need to use all the major processors in their phone designs, thus spreading their reach further over the market.
What do you think Samsung is going to release?

MHL Consortium shows some of the latest MHL features
There are now 2 HDTVs that are MHL compliant, the Toshiba WL800A and the Samsung UN46D7000 now also got a firmware update that ads MHL support. Possibly that all new HDTVs will include this functionality. It allows for charging MHL compliant phones and tablets and to remote control them with the TV remote through one simple cable and one Micro-USB connector. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich might add new MHL features to the UI, otherwise the MHL Consortium is trying to convince app developers and smart phone makers to design the apps and the OS to take advantage of the 1920×1080 resolution of the HDTV when using the HDMI output, to provide higher resolution user interfaces, higher resolution games, the ARM Processors and GPU in those phones and tablets are now getting powerful enough to output full 1080p UIs, videos and graphics, it's time for the industry to take advantage of that! One pocketable phone can now combine the features of Android, Chrome OS and Google TV, it's now a phone, a desktop, a set-top-box and a home console all in one!

Super Clear LCD vs Super AMOLED Plus
You can see in this video that the Super Clear LCD is brighter than the Super AMOLED plus. While Super AMOLED has real black, for the rest, is the Super Clear LCD better? It might be Samsung is now making this Super Clear LCD Tegra2 version of the Galaxy S2 in Galaxy R to either both slightly lower the price and perhaps also to satisfy the demand as they might not be able to manufacture them fast enough.
Samsung Galaxy S2 White
Samsung releases this white version of the Samsung Galaxy S2 Android Smartphone. This is likely the best phone on the market, so if you prefer to have a white version of it, you can consider getting this one.
Samsung Galaxy W
Samsung releases this new medium range Samsung Galaxy W, it has a 3.7″ WVGA LCD, an unknown 1.4Ghz processor (please write in the comments if you know which processor this has), it runs Gingerbread for now.
My take on Samsung at IFA, awesome but perhaps misplaced
Probably the highlight of this IFA show for me has thus far been the unveiling of the awesome Samsung Galaxy Note (2), Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE and Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 for reasons of the pure awesomeness to see the new high resolution Super AMOLED screens in action (4.5″, 5.3″ and 7.7″) and to get a feeling of the upcoming probable Nexus Prime hardware experience.
There is some talk on blogs about Samsung removing the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 from the showfloor today on http://www.techmeme.com/110903/p15#a110903p15 and this has now become the conspiracy theory here in Berlin around the IFA show.
I do not believe for one second that Apple has any authority over Samsung at IFA, regardless of the bogus lawsuits going on in bogus court rooms in Dusseldorf, Netherlands and Australia. Samsung is paying the IFA consumer electronics show millions of euros for their hall, over many years, Apple never spent one single cent at IFA or at any other trade shows worldwide for that matter. Apple thinks they are too cool to compete in trade shows, Apple does not want people to think of them as a mere competitor in a market.
Here's what I think Samsung might be thinking right now, and what I have been saying from the first second I saw their latest devices:
1. Samsung is now the worlds leading Smart Phone manufacturer, in front of Apple.
2. Just like Apple, Samsung makes much higher profit margins on the smartphones than on the tablets.
3. Even with the new Super AMOLED factory now in function in South Korea, Samsung can simply not output enough Super AMOLED screens of all the different sizes and types before this Christmas sales.
4. The 7.7″ Super AMOLED screen is awesome and all, but Samsung cannot justify the extra cost of manufacturing 7.7″ Super AMOLED vs continuing to use LCD on Tablet sizes.
5. Samsung needs to make about 50 million Smartphone sized Super AMOLED Plus screens during these next few months, there is no space in their factory to also make 7.7″ such screens, and it basically costs 3x to 4x more to make a 7.7″ Super AMOLED screen compared to a 4.5″ size, cause you can fit upwards 3x to 4x more smartphone sized screens on their manufacturing process.
6. Super AMOLED screens are beautiful to look at, bravo. But the LCD manufacturing process is operating at about 40x larger scale worldwide. Also, advances in LCD screens cannot really justify the cost difference in manufacturing those expensive Super AMOLED screens.
7. The reason Samsung can make Super AMOLED screens today even though I would guess the Super AMOLED Plus screen costs 2x more than the highest-end LCD, is that Samsung is still making $250 profit or more per smartphone when they sell them upwards $500 through carriers and unlocked.
8. My main complaint on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 form factor is that it is too wide to fit normal jacket pockets, I cannot fit it inside of my jacket pocket. That means that it makes it much less likely people will carry it around everywhere, but that it would have to mostly stay at home. While being shown at IFA, the device did have a sticker saying something like "this may not be the final design", maybe Samsung has figured out from mine and others comments at the show, that if they really want to release a 7.7″ tablet, they may have to consider trying to cut more of the bezel off of the device.
Here are some pictures comparing the my Archos 70 Internet Tablet that I have used every day for the past 11 months because I can carry it everywhere in my jacket pocket vs the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7″ shown at IFA that simply does not fit in jacket pockets so has to stay at home:
While the Samsung Galaxy Note also is fantasticly awesome, my suggestion to technology fans is not to expect that Samsung can manufacture enough of those 5.3″ HD Super AMOLED screens before the end of this year. Also, Samsung may be realizing that it may be very hard to sell the feature of using a stylus on top of a capacitive screen, it may be too hard for them to lower the lag time and increase the accuracy enough to make it usable. In which situations does mass market consumers really want to use a stylus often? I can think of situations such as collaborating in real-time on annotating text, but I don't think a light emitting Super AMOLED screen is the right type of screen for that usage.
So where does Samsung go from here? My guess is that they will focus as much of the Super AMOLED factory as they can on making 4.3″ and 4.5″ screens for the upcoming Nexus Prime = Samsung Galaxy S2 = Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE = Verizon Droid Prime, etc. This is where they are getting the most profit. And while the Samsung Galaxy Note might come out, and can definitely sell plenty more than Dell Stream 5 did a year ago, I think Samsung is probably going to use LCD for the Tablets that they'll release before the end of this year. My guess is Samsung may release updates for their 7″ and 10.1″ tablets before the end of this year, and those will likely use LCD and not Super AMOLED.
In the medium term, I guess that AMOLED may be phased out again, but it already cannot be considered a failure in any way, it has provided Samsung with a unique differentiator in their market share gaining activities in the most important smartphone market. By the time AMOLED factories may be closed in 2-3 years, the quality of LCD at that time will have increased so much, with technologies such as Pixel Qi, IPS and FFS, that it will not make sense to make any AMOLED anymore. Most importantly, the profit margins on smartphones will quickly be reduced as the smartphone becomes a commodity, the profit margins will not anymore allow for the price difference that there is between LCD and AMOLED.

HELLO, everyone! We're sending you off on your Memorial Day weekend (all you non-Americans can remember whatever you like as we Americans have friggin' amnesia when it comes to our own history, anyway) with a little treat. This is our very first guest blogger here on Scuttlebutt and it is none other than Sean Ford, he of Only Skin fame. Sean and fellow Acre, Joseph Lambert went all the way to the Maine Comics Arts Festival without us and volunteered to report on the scene. He even provides photographic evidence! Take it away, Sean:
Last weekend, fellow Secret Acres artist Joseph Lambert and I went up to Maine for MECAF with good pals Charles Forsman, Melissa Mendes and Becca Lambert. Mosley Lambert stayed home to guard things. It was the third show in four weeks for some of our merry band, myself included, so road-weariness and poop jokes were in healthy supply.
My first stop on a whirlwind weekend tour of New England was to Chuck and Melissa's idyllic Hancock, MA home. There I saw the amazing drawing studio they've set up and met Bruce, the chillest cat in the land. They have an amazing house that seems like the perfect place to draw and create awesome comics. And, of course, that's just what they do. It makes sense. I also learned that Chuck's cartooning prowess is matched only by his tortilla-making abilities. I didn't take any pictures of this wonderful place and pictures wouldn't do it justice anyway.
The next day, after a short morning walk in the woods, we drove up to White River Junction to meet the Lamberts. We took some windy back roads that I'd never taken before, driving through some beautiful Massachusetts and Vermont country with the windows down. We drove pretty close to the Bennington Triangle, which made me happy. We arrived in Vermont mid-afternoon and after sharing some smells with Mosley (Joe and Becca's charming wolfboydog) we set out for Maine. The drive to Maine was uneventful, unless you count singing songs and fixing cars with gaffer's tape.
On arriving in Maine, after deciding not to spend too much time in our uh… modestly outfitted (read: 'a mix of dog and human pee and hair smell') Motel 6 room we decided to investigate downtown Portland, Maine. We knew there had to be a MECAF-related party going on, we were just really bad about finding it. We got beers and nachos and ice cream instead.
The next day was MECAF. The show takes place in a wonderful building that is all glass and views of the harbor. Everything about the show was top notch – a beautiful, well organized space, cool panels, and friendly, helpful volunteers – they even had the option to order sandwiches for lunch that were hand-delivered by show-organizer and Casablanca Comics owner Rick Lowell. I missed that particular sammie boat, but that just seems really thoughtful. The show never felt particularly crowded (though Kate Beaton definitely had a long line), but it never felt empty, either. As people have said, it certainly felt like a kids-friendly show; there was even a 10-yr old selling his own drawings at his own table – and he was busy! And good! But there were certainly people interested in Secret Acres books, Sundays, Joe's prints, Chuck's The End of The Fucking World and Melissa's Freddy Stories and Lou comics.
And that's where it got interesting for me. I don't know if this was the case, so forgive the speculation, but my sense was that most of the people who stopped by the SA table hadn't heard of Secret Acres before and were willing to try out something new. Capacity caught a lot of eyes. As did PS Comics, I Will Bite You! and Only Skin. It seemed like the crowd at MECAF often didn't come expecting to lay out money for bigger books, at least not past Hark! a Vagrant and the Amulet books, and so were caught off guard by the presence of Secret Acres and a $20 book like Capacity. But there were several distinct occasions where people found a book on the table, flipped through it for a while, put it down, picked it back up and then said "I have to get this, I'm going to find an ATM." Usually someone saying they need to find an ATM at a comics show is code for "thanks, but no thanks," but a lot of these folks actually came back with money in hand and picked up the books that had caught their eye. It is a really cool and rewarding feeling to help someone discover a book they knew nothing about. It felt like finding some of that Blue Ocean we talked about after TCAF. It also reminded me of Dylan Williams' call for building communities at smaller regional shows. That's exactly what MECAF was. And I think there is a potential to build something there for anyone willing to put in the time. Joe has been to three out of four MECAF shows over the years and has clearly built up an audience at the show. He wasn't selling like gangbusters or anything, but he seemed to do quite well and run into a bunch of people who knew his work and were happy to see him again.
That's what MECAF felt like – a small, smartly run show that can act as a platform for individual artists or small publishers to build an audience, helped by a beautiful location and good organization. It might be the sort of show an artist or small publisher needs to help carve out their place within, but that's an exciting place to be in comics.
After the show we grabbed some pizza with the amazing Jose Luis Olivares, who had taken the bus up from Boston to say hi (sadly he didn't bring his comics!) and then hit the road back to Vermont, Massachusetts and New York, having found some Blue Ocean and sung some Billy Ocean. We sing when we're happy and MECAF had us singing. Thanks to everyone who made it a great weekend, from Rick Lowell's awesome crew to intrepid customers willing to take a chance on something new to great great great old pals.

Now go and remember something! We'll be back shortly with Emporium delirium, a CAKE recipe and a Weather report.
Your Pals,
Barry and Leon and Sean
What a nice post! I really enjoyed MeCAF also and was very pleased to see the Secret Acres stuff there. Picked up Only Skin, looking forward to it.

ZOMG! It's Tim O'Neil for the Onion AV Club on Corinne Mucha's Get Over It! and it's a pretty darn good review, too. Tim's clearly on top of his comics game, name-dropping and comparing Corinne to none other than Kate Beaton, John Allison and Dylan Horrocks - pretty much a Mt. Rushmore of the medium. He gets it right; Corinne hits every bump on Heartbreak Road, ever stage of grief, but all told, it's actually kind of... ...fun? As Tim puts it, she "turns a book about three years of anguish into a page-turner." There IS something fun about being heartbroken, and not just the rebound. It's like a license to crazy. At least we think so. There's lots of other good stuff reviewed here, too, including Rocket Raccoon's latest, Superman and Roman Muradov (love that guy). Corinne's got some good company for Get Over It! Thank you, Tim, and thanks, AV Club, for the very kind words. You guys go read now at the link!

We are outta here! Or at least will we be in the morning. Actually, the very early morning. Sigh. But we're going to the Rhode Island Independent Publishing Expo aka RIPE! This is our first time at the show. It's also the first time FOR the show. RIPE is brand new and the brainchild of some folks we truly adore, like Mickey Z, who roped us into going way back when at the last Comic Arts Brooklyn. Yes, it is suspicious that there's a comic show in the dead of summer called RIPE. We've stopped showering and wiping for the occasion. Kidding. At our table will be Brendan Leach, of Iron Bound fame, and Sean Ford, he who has brought you Only Skin. Not only will Sean have the new and improved edition of Only Skin, he will have the fourth, yes, FOURTH issue of his new series, Shadow Hills. Playing the role of Secret Acres comics mule on the ride up will be Dave Nuss of Revival House Press, home of folks like Malachi Ward. It's a star-studded event and we don't even have to worry about crossing any borders! Doors are at noon and details are at the link below. If you're in Providence now, there's all kinds of stuff happening tonight, too. We will see you tomorrow...
Rhode Island Independent Publishing Expo Comics! Zines! Other forms of independent publishing!...
The thing about Mike Dawson's newest graphic novel, Angie Bongiolatti, is that it's daunting at first glance but kind of impossible not to identify with its characters. Well, you could somehow not identify with them, and that's your right, but you'd probably be completely insane. Rob Kirby, writing for the Comics Journal, writes about Angie Biongiolatti so well, that he might just be the ideal reader for this one. He's sensitive, empathetic, politically conscious and he likes to party. He also nails Angie, the character, who can come across as enigmatic or aloof, but it's her faith and her clarity, as Rob puts it (and we're paraphrasing), that make her the best barometer ever for the most difficult of times and the craziest of people. The key, though, is Rob writing that he knows these folks and he's partied with them. It would have been a lot easier for Mike if he'd had an agenda when he drew these people. Yeah, we might have recognized the ideas, but maybe we wouldn't have recognized these people. Poor Rob! He's one of THEM! Thanks, TCJ, and Rob, especially. This was a really good one.

Well, folks, Edie Fake has arrived! This newest LA native gets a very warm welcome indeed from Joshua Michael Demaree at the LA Review of Books. It's both a full-blown interview, a complete history and in depth review of Memory Palaces, Edie's latest and our first ever art book. If you're worried about Edie going Hollywod, go ahead and worry since Demaree has christened him a "flourishing celebrity." At least, he's a flourishing celebrity in the queer art world. There's some stuff in here that rarely gets discussed, including Edie's background as a video artist and the influence of that medium on his comics work. We even get a mention in the story of how we met Edie, which almost didn't happen. Plus, and this was news to us as well, Edie's return to Chicago (after "going feral") coincided with the death of Michael Jackson. But was it a coincidence? Thank you, Joshua, for all your super thoughtful work here (and for making another dream come true and writing up a Secret Acres book for the LA Review of Books). Go and read this very funny and very serious career retrospective right now!

Michelle Williams and Matilda Ledger looked ready for Spring in their dresses on a Pinkberry run in LA on Sunday. Hopefully, they soaked up the sun while they had the time because yesterday they were hopping on a plane out of LAX with Spike Jonze. The ladies are well accustomed to bundling up for the cold, and if they were heading back to New York they're in for plenty of time to play in the snow.

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $89.95
Reviewed several lightweight chairs before choosing this one. Glad I chose the Helinox. It's great for backpacking and for music festivals. This chair is perfect for that. It is very comfortable too. With four feet it stays off the ground unlike some other LW models.
- Lightweight
- Compact
- Stable
- Looks good
- No cup holder
- No head rest
This is a really great chair for the size and weight. The sitting height is ideal; it's tall enough that you can still stand up from it without having to push off with your arms while still sitting low for camp fires and music festivals.
The chair frame will "adjust" to fit uneven ground surface so it is very stable.
The cloth and stitching are top notch quality. I anticipate many years of service from this chair.
The bag is easy to use; you don't have to solve a puzzle to get the chair back in the pouch. It has loops so you can strap it to the outside of your pack.
We use this chair at the kids' sporting events too. Way easier to carry than one of those backyard lounge chairs. Worked great at the beach too. The feet sunk into the sand just enough to anchor it from blowing over when not being used.
All in all... Love this chair and will be getting another one soon.

Price Paid: $79.99
This chair is for the hiker who is ready for the most comfort for their carry! I've sat in a lot of styles of camp chairs but this one far succeeds its competition. Just over a pound it is so nice to be off the ground especially when the ground is wet!
- Sturdy construction
- Very compact
- Hammock campers don't have to carry a sit pad
- Heavier than a sit pad
- Legs sink on soft ground
- Does weigh over a pound
This chair has cords in the legs so when assembling or breaking down, all the parts stay together. It also has a very sturdy seat with the proper ventilation for your warmer adventures. Altogether it will make anyone's adventure more comfortable around the campsite.

Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $70 (with discount coupon)
Excellent chair for camping, backpacking, festivals, etc. Easy to put together with the shock-corded poles. Two pounds with the included sturdy carry bag. Sturdy well made chair that can hold up to 320 lbs.
- Easy to assemble
- 4 legs keep you up off the ground
- Holds up to 320 lbs
- Well sewn, sturdy fabric/mesh
- Comfortable
- The heavy duty carry bag is heavy
- 4 leg design does sink into soft soils and sand
I use this comfortable chair often in any type of situation where a chair comes in handy. The poles are corded together so assembly is a snap. The fabric is durable and well sewn. This sturdy little chair can even hold up to 320 lbs. It comes with a very heavy duty carry bag that has a handy daisy chain on it to make attaching it to your pack easy. After six months of frequent use, it shows no signs of wear and tear.
I have used this most often on full day hikes. When it is time to take a break, in under a minute I can have my chair out and assembled. Others may laugh, but I get a relaxing and rejuvenating rest kicking back in my chair while they search for a dry bug free spot to sit on the ground.
The four-leg design does make it prone to sinking into soft soil or sand. In those situations if I want to keep the seat up off the ground, I have placed the chair so it straddles a small log alternatively tennis balls on the end of the legs will help prevent sinking.
While the heavy duty carry bag is great for storage, it is indeed heavy for carrying long distances so I usually leave it at home and just wrap the poles up in the chair fabric for long hikes.
I highly recommend this chair. It may start out as a luxury item when hiking or backpacking, but you will quickly find you don't want to leave it at home.

Dentist Thousand Oaks gives us an insight .
One of the most important points about tooth decay is that you don't always recognize it when it's in the early stages.
Which is exactly why it's important to see your dentist or dental hygienist regularly for a thorough cleaning and oral exam, in addition to following a consistent oral care routine of twice-daily toothbrushing and daily flossing.

Fixing Tooth Decay Without Drilling
If you or a loved one have a cavity, it's absolutely necessary that your dentist drill a hole in your tooth to fill the cavity, right?
Maybe not.
New technologies are becoming available to your dentist that help him identify the start of tooth decay so that he may catch the tooth as it starts to lose some of its minerals, but before it starts to form a cavity.
If there's no hole,…Continue

Celebrating Chipper
Earlier this afternoon, Larry Wayne "Chipper" Jones Jr. announced that the 2012 MLB season would be his last.
From now until, hopefully, October (come on Braves, Win Just One More for the Chipper), his well-deserved farewell tour will consist of analysts discussing his legacy and his place among the greats. There's the accolades and statistics, be it the 1995 World Series championship, the 1999 NL MVP award, the record-tying 14 consecutive 20-plus home run seasons to start his career, as well as the seven All-Star games and 450 home runs (both "and counting"). There's the discussion of "greatest switch-hitter" and whether he is inarguably third behind Mickey Mantle and Eddie Murray, or whether a case could be made for him sneaking into second. And there's the first-ballot Hall-of-Famer conversation — whether it's a no-brainer or should he wait a year.
There are also discussions about how to measure Chipper's success and importance in this current era of baseball. Does he deserve even higher praise for excelling in the Steroid Age, as someone that has never been connected with being a user? (Even though he recently admitted to considering it.) Also, in this age of athletes fleeing their original teams to join superstar squads, how impressive is it that Chipper spent his entire post-high school baseball career — 22 years — with the Atlanta Braves organization? Is that just a good storyline or is that an actual accomplishment?
As important and predictable as these conversations are, as a life-long Braves fan and certainly not a baseball analyst, none of them really exemplify what Chipper Jones represents as a player. For me, Chipper will always represent a throwback to the regular-looking guy who happens to be extremely good at baseball.
When I see Chipper Jones and I hear him talk, I can't help but smile, because without the jersey, he could easily be a pretty large guy who works in the rifle section at Walmart. He's this Southern guy who has spent his entire life in only Florida and Georgia, he deer hunts in the offseason, and for Chrissakes had an 18-month moment of weakness with a Hooters waitress. There are millions of country dudes in America who fit that exact description; he just happens to be the one who should go down as his city's finest baseball player.
This past December, I attended an Atlanta Hawks game with some friends and lucked into some seats moderately close to the floor. After the first quarter of just dismal basketball between the Hawks and the Washington Wizards, I got up to get a drink. When I came back, I noticed there was a sizable crew of children in our row, wreaking havoc across a seven-seat buffer zone. To the left of all these kids, Chipper. We were standing up at the same time and I was floored to see how massive of a guy he was. Sure, I knew it was all muscle, but it wasn't that freakish-Dwight Howard-LeBron James I-Look-Like-an-Action-Figure build. The only way I can describe it is "grown-man strength." You know, the kind you get when you cut down six trees in the morning, drag each log back to your home a mile away in the afternoon, and then chop them into smaller pieces of firewood that evening so that your family can stay warm for a week. And then you do the same thing the next week. For 22 years. I'm not claiming this is how Chipper Jones weight trains, but something about him on an elliptical wearing headphones and watching Guiding Light will never be an acceptable image.
Chipper has always represented that athlete who could have thrived playing in any era of the league, even in its earliest, most technologically primitive days. While I'm sure he still takes advantage of all the bells and whistles at his disposal, watching him for almost my entire lifetime, he always seemed like the guy who just woke up, made some breakfast, drove his truck to the stadium, put on his jersey, and went out to play some baseball simply because he loved it and was good at it. It's a rare, beautiful quality to exude, that lost art of just going to work.
This is a wonderful time for him to make a classy exit. With a young guy on the team in Jason Heyward that shares some of his Casey at the Bat tendencies as well as a similar personality that might keep him on the same team for two decades, it will be fun watching Chipper pass the torch while finally getting the respect he deserves. Celebrating the athlete who simply showed up for work more often than not and did things to make his team competitive happens every blue moon. I'm just glad the next time it happens, it will be for Larry.

Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) joined the chorus of those slamming the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) this weekend.
Franken, who voted against the final version of NDAA, declared the provisions on detention in the bill "unacceptable" in a column at the website Reader Supported News.
"These provisions are inconsistent with the liberties and freedoms that are at the core of the system our Founders established," he wrote. "And while I did in fact vote for an earlier version of the legislation, I did so with the hope that the final version would be significantly improved. That didn't happen, and so I could not support the final bill."
Franken was very concerned with the bill allowing U.S. citizens to be detained without charge or trial, a provision that has been changed to exempt American citizens from the requirement of terror suspects.
Earlier in the week, both the ACLU and the hacktivist collective Anonymous criticized the government over the bill.

Gilchrist Sheriff's Office Investigates Possible Santa Fe Drowning
Published July 17th, 2009
According to Gilchrist Sheriff Daniel Slaughter, three people were swimming Friday at the Santa Fe River Park when one of them went under in the fast-flowing river and never surfaced.
Sheriff's divers searched the area and found the body of 25-year-old Guillermo Hernandez at 5:20 p.m., about 30 feet west of where Hernandez was last spotted.
There is no evidence of foul play, and the exact cause of death will be determined at a later date by the Medical Examiners Office.

Personalized Immune Mouse Model Offers New Way to Research Autoimmune Diseases
By BiotechDaily International staff writers
Posted on 28 Mar 2012
A newly created mouse model may allow development of customized immunotherapies against cancer and infection.
Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC; New York, NY, USA) scientists have developed a way to recreate an individual's immune system in a mouse. The "personalized immune mouse" provides researchers with an extraordinary tool for individualized analysis of abnormalities that contribute to type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune disorders, beginning at the onset of disease. The study's findings were published March 14, 2012, in the online edition of the journal
Science Translational Medicine.
The mouse model could also have clinical applications, such as predicting how a specific patient might respond to existing drugs or immunotherapies, reports senior author Megan Sykes, a professor of medicine and professor of microbiology and immunology and Surgical Sciences (in surgery) at CUMC. Dr. Sykes is also director for the Columbia Center for Translational Immunology.
Moreover, the model might be useful for developing individualized immunotherapies for combating infection or cancer or for lessening a patient's rejection of transplanted tissue.
Researchers have been searching for new ways to tease apart the various factors that contribute to autoimmune disease. "While large-scale studies of human populations have provided important clues to the genetic basis of immune diseases, they have offered little information about the specific role the genes play," said Dr. Sykes. "It's difficult to isolate these mechanisms when looking at groups of patients who have had disease for different lengths of time or have been receiving different treatments. And the fact that they already have the disease makes it difficult to distinguish what underlies and propagates the autoimmune process."
Several research groups have attempted to create a personalized immune mouse. However, each model has had significant limitations, such as an inability to generate the full complement of immune cells and incompatibilities between tissues used to recreate the human immune system, leading to graft-versus-host disease.
Dr. Sykes' model, in contrast, is able to recreate a healthy and diverse human immune system, including T cells, B cells, and myeloid cells (which generate a variety of immune cells), free of immune incompatibilities.
The model was created by transplanting human bone marrow stem cells (also known as CD34+ cells), along with a small amount (about 1 cubic mm) of human leukocyte antigen- (HLA)-matched immature thymus tissue, into an immunodeficient mouse. (The HLA system mediates interactions among various immune cells.) The thymus tissue is implanted into the mouse's kidney capsule, a thin membrane that envelops the kidney and serves as an incubator. Within six to eight weeks, the transplanted thymus tissue is seeded by circulating human CD34+ cells (which are infused into the bloodstream of the mouse), and begins generating human immune cells from the CD34+ cells.
A key to the model's effectiveness was the investigators' finding that freezing and thawing the transplanted thymus tissue, as well as administering antibodies against CD2 (a glycoprotein that mediates T cell development and activation), depletes mature T cells from the tissue graft. This prevents rejection of the human CD34+ cells and graft-versus-host disease, while maintaining function of the thymus tissue.
Dr. Sykes plans to use the personalized immune mouse to study type 1 diabetes. "We hope to find out what is fundamentally different about patients' immune systems, compared with those of healthy individuals, before any disease develops," she said.
The studies should also clarify more about the genetics of type 1 diabetes. "A number of HLA-associated genes have been linked to type 1 diabetes," she explained. "About a third of the population has one of more of these genes. But a much smaller percentage of the population actually develops the disease. What this means is, the HLA genes are necessary, but not sufficient, to cause type 1 diabetes. Using the personalized immune mouse, we expect to learn more about the role that non-HLA genes play in the disease."

Retreat Description
The practice of Pure Awareness (Mahamudra or Dzogchen) is the simplest and also the most advanced teaching in Tibetan Buddhism. Pure Awareness, also called the awakened state or the Buddha mind, is our most fundamental nature, a part of ourselves that is neither born nor dies and underlies all of the experiences of our human life. In this program, we will learn and practice the training stages of Pure Awareness practice, beginning from our current place of distraction and confusion and culminating in a vision of the world as open, perfect, and pure. Faithful to the Tibetan approach that "enlightenment is found in the body and nowhere else," our approach will be somatic.
Within the safety and warmth of a supportive community, this life-changing opportunity will allow us to journey deep into the limitless openness, wisdom, and joy that are within each of us, waiting just beneath the surface of our everyday experience.
Come for a one, two, or three week segment or for the full month. *Note: One week segments are only available for weeks one and two.

FELIPE Barcelos has rejoined Oxford City ahead of next season's Conference North campaign.
The 22-year-old spent 2013-14 playing in Italy for Serie D side ASD Santhià Calcio after leaving City last summer.
Barcelos came back to Oxford in May and was weighing up his options.
But the striker has decided to rejoin the club where he spent five years progressing through the youth system after moving to the city from his native Brazil at the age of 14.
Barcelos made 125 appearances for City's first team, scoring 42 goals, before deciding on a move to Italy.

2014 might be a bumper year for agriculture
THE agriculture sector likely contracted last year.
Having declined by 4.9 per cent during the first nine months of 2013, it would have had to register over 16 per cent growth in the last quarter to edge out 2012.
On the other hand, momentum has been building over the past 12 months.
After registering an 11.6 per cent decline in real value added during the first three months of 2013, according to the Planning Institute of Jamaica, contraction in the second quarter was much lower at 6.6 per cent, while the third quarter saw five per cent growth.
"If you look at it, the first two quarters of 2013 were poor due to the lingering effects of Hurricane Sandy. And since that recovery, we have seen significant growth," said president of the Jamaica Agricultural Society (JAS), Senator Norman Grant.
Recovery aside, four more agro parks covering 1,800 acres of land are slated to start operations by March 2014, on top of the three currently in operation, although at least one of them has hit a major snag — mismanagment by the Agro Invest Corporation (AIC) has resulted in the loss of a projected $50 million worth of onions at the Plantain Garden River (PGR) Agro-Park in St Thomas. (See report in Daily Observer, Monday, January 6, 2014.)
The agriculture ministry has promised to provide the farmers with $7.5 million in support to help them get back on their feet, while the type of crop grown is expected to be changed to pumpkin or pepper.
Grant said that Irish potato and red peas are also being targeted in other large-scale agricultural projects.
The agricultural sector can also benefit from supplying food, such as black bean and rice, to Venezuela under the oil-for-loans PetroCaribe deal, which allows the Government to service the debt through the supply of goods.
Private sector entities have indicated expansion in cultivation of crops to be used in the production.
Jamaica Broilers plans to start the cultivation of a next corn crop — to make animal feed within the next three months, on 100 acres, said Christopher Levy, president and chief executive officer of Jamaica Broilers Group.
Levy said Jamaica Broilers is leaning towards the model of contracting farmers to plant the crop, but won't do so until the company gets it right.
Meanwhile, Caribbean Broilers Group, plans to double its sorghum yield this year.
Having learnt from the pitfalls last year, the yields should be greater this year, said Dr Keith Amiel, corporate affairs manager.
"We did about 60 tonnes per acre and we want to push it up to 120 tonnes," he told the Business Observer.
Red Stripe, yesterday signed a lease agreement with the Agro Investment Corporation (AIC) of Jamaica for a plot of land at Bernard Lodge that the beer maker says will serve as the launch of its pilot farm and factory in a project aimed at replacing the majority of imported inputs with local produce.
The company aims to begin to produce cassava beer in September from the pilot.
Stakeholders say 2013, for the most part, was good to them.
The JAS head said the industry was self-sufficient with table eggs, and there was growth in Irish potato and ginger.
"Last year, we had the largest production of ginger in 25 years, with 1.4 million kilogrammes grown," Grant said.
"2013 wasn't a bad year for us, as it relates to poultry. We started the year with high corn prices and the devaluation of the Jamaican dollar has been a concern," said Levy. "We are cautiously optimistic about 2014."
But the president of the Pig Farmers' Association of Jamaica Delroy Manya said last year wasn't good for the pig sector. Chief among the issues was tighter disposable income among consumers.
"We saw a reduction in price for the product, the cost of feed consistently increased, and the sliding dollar brought hike in the price of grain," he said. "There was an overproduction of some sort."
Overall, the cost of product went up and the sector was getting less for the product, Manya added.
Some small farmers had fallen out of the industry, but the bigger players managed to increase production so it didn't affect the sector's supply, he said.
In an effort to fix the problems for 2014, Manya said the association is examining how it can help to structure the industry as it relates to production.
The number one deterrent to the industry, praedial larceny, which, was estimated to have cost the sector about $5 billion, will be aggressively combated this year.
"We are going to give praedial larceny hell this year, through the Farmerhood Watch, where farmers in communities keep watch over each other's farms," he said.
Grant expects that the Secured Interest in Personal Property (SIPP) Bill, which was passed in Parliament last year, will fuel further growth in the agricultural sector, through increased access to financing.
The Bill, which is a requirement under the four-year Extended Fund Facility with the International Monetary Fund, allows for crops to be used as collateral to secure loans.
"Now that it's (SIPP) in place, it needs to be operationalised so that farmers can increase their production," he said.
Specifically, the JAS head figures that there will be growth in domestic agriculture based on initiatives in the pipeline.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WHAS11) – A Memphis grandmother says she did nothing wrong, even though she left her grandchild sleeping insider her vehicle, which got repossessed.
Ruth Brown says her 4-year-old grandson Kevin was too heavy to carry from the car, so she left him in it.
The boy and his grandmother had returned from grocery shopping.
Brown says she went in her house to get someone to carry the sleeping child.
She says he was safe and her daughter's boyfriend stood watch outside while she unloaded groceries.
A few minutes later, her car was repossessed with Kevin inside.
"So everybody want to blame me, right? Everybody wants to blame me. We are right here at the door ma'am. No harm can come to him because I came right back out to get him," Brown said.
Police have not determined if Brown will face any charges.
Officials with the Department of Child Services have stated that it is not looking into the case.

Escalante received 10 additional years for pleading guilty to a weapons offense. The sentences will be served consecutively.
Deason sentenced Escalante's brother, Alex Mercado, 18, to three years behind bars. A jury convicted Mercado on Oct. 4 of shooting with intent to kill, even though his brother tried to take the blame.
