Enjoy this day – but then take some time to ask the big questions of yourself as you plunge forward in life.That was some of the spirited advice 11-time Emmy Award-winning journalist Armen Keteyian gave graduates Saturday, May 3, as Jacksonville University awarded more than 900 degrees at its 2014 spring commencement ceremony at First Baptist Church of Jacksonville."Remember … the importance of balance as you find answers to 'Who am I?', 'What do I want to be?' and 'How do I get there?,'" said the keynote speaker, who was awarded an honorary doctorate in humane letters by JU. "Hopefully, when you do get there, wherever there is for you, you will … when asked, give back to the place that helped you grow up."The event was held at First Baptist rather than JU's traditional outdoor commencement setting on campus because of the likelihood of inclement weather and an expected historically high attendance.The celebration featured the awarding of the first doctoral degrees in JU's 80-year history: seven students received their Doctor of Nursing Practice degrees. Also taking part in robes was Mary Blade, who graduates in December with her DNP but who shared the day with her seven colleagues and with her daughter, Taylor Blade, who received her bachelor's degree in nursing on Saturday.Of the total 887 JU spring 2014 graduates, who earned 913 degrees, 359 received bachelor of nursing degrees; 88 received masters of nursing degrees; 31 received master of business administration degrees; and 99 graduated with Latin honors, which are earned by students with a minimum GPA of 3.50 with 60 graded credits at JU. In addition, 16 students graduated with their bachelor's degree and earned University Honors -- the largest group in years.JU President Tim Cost praised the graduates, who gained their educations during an unprecedented era of growth and improvement in the campus' grounds, facilities, faculty and programs. Highlights of the past academic year alone include:• Educating the largest student body in University history -- more than 4,200;• A successful 10-year re-accreditation from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACS);• A Charter Day celebration of JU's 80th anniversary, with dedication of the newly renovated River House campus gathering spot and a "Global Toast" shared by hundreds of alumni worldwide;• Earning a top 1% rank among all Florida colleges for "Return on Investment" for graduates;• Near-completion of the new College of Health Sciences building, on-schedule for August 2014;• A No. 14 global ranking for JU's MBA program, achieving a Tier One spot in CEO Magazine's prestigious listing of "value"; and• More than $1.2 million in research grants awarded to the JU College of Health Sciences, with much of it to help veterans in JU's Nursing program."You have excelled and made us proud," Cost told the students. "You have made your university better than you found it -- a high compliment. Congratulations on reaching excellence on your journey. Today is about you and your accomplishments."Keteyian, lead correspondent for "60 Minutes Sports," a reporter for "60 Minutes" and one of the preeminent journalists of his generation, has covered in-depth news and sports issues for media outlets such as CBS News, CBS Sports, Sports Illustrated, ABC News, HBO Sports and Showtime.He urged the students to focus on who they are, not where they come from."I've spent my entire professional life doing what you are about to do: competing against graduates of big public universities like Alabama, Georgia or Michigan, or the most selective private schools, like Stanford, or the Ivys, for jobs and raises," he said. "I wear my degree from San Diego State as a badge of honor, just as you should from JU. Because folks, trust me, you've got more than enough personal and intellectual firepower to compete against anybody. To be as good – or great – as you want to be."Reaching and exceeding goals has much to do with the company you keep, he reminded them, explaining how his close friendship with JU Trustee and alum Frank Pace jump-started his early career in New York."His best friend just happened to be a guy he met at JU named Jay Thomas, the actor, who was the top DJ in New York at the time, a precursor to Howard Stern," Keteyian said. "Because of Frank, I was able to stay with Jay, sleep on his couch for a couple of weeks while I found an apartment and got settled. The moral of that story: remember the friends you made at this university. Frank's best friendship with Jay, formed right here, sustained to this day, helped change my life."Keteyian spent time talking about hard work, discipline, taking risks and the benefits of viewing rewards only as a by-product of following your heart."From the time I was 23 working on a weekly newspaper in La Mesa, Calif., I've never felt like I had a job," he said. "I love what I do. Even at 61, I have passion for my profession – journalism. So if you want to pursue photography or physics or politics, my advice is: Do it. And you won't regret it."Cost bestowed the degrees and presented three student awards at the ceremony: the Fred B. Noble Medal to graduating student Eric Lam of Evans, Ga., for having the highest grade point average in JU's 2014 class (4.0); the President's Award for Outstanding Leadership to Jairid Pacileo of Albion, Penn.; and the University Award for Outstanding Service and Co-curricular Involvement to Amanda Suter of Winlock, Wash.JU's college and school Students of the Year are Clayton Levins, College of Arts & Sciences; Alexandra Hoffman, Davis College of Business; Ali Pordeli, College of Fine Arts; and Robert Bigley, the College of Health Sciences' School of Nursing.Also Saturday, Brian Palmer, associate professor of dance in the JU College of Fine Arts, was recognized as JU's professor of the year.The spring 2014 JU graduates hail from throughout the United States and from 17 other countries. The University's nearly 25,000 alums come from all 50 states and 92 countries.

Versed in a number of massage styles, licensed massage practitioner and Essential Body Wellness owner Leah Wendel-Tarabochia carefully tailors each treatment to ensure her clients receive the most relaxing and revitalizing massage possible. Upon entering her tranquil studio, guests can decompress in a designated quiet room before they're led to treatment rooms outfitted with heated massage tables dressed in ultra-soft sheets. There, they're lulled into deep relaxation as Leah goes to work promoting better circulation with gliding Swedish massage strokes or using water-treated hot stones to melt tension and keep clients from accidentally giving friends the cold shoulder. Beyond general relaxation and minor pain relief, Leah also treats sports- and work-related injuries, as well as neuromuscular and musculoskeletal dysfunctions, with her rehabilitation services.
One has been a martial artist for more than 35 years; the other has been a bus driver for almost as long. Instructors at Lakeview Yoga and Wellness Center, Vidal Bitton and Joyce MacFarlane know what it's like to balance a busy schedule with the demands of staying healthy. Vidal's approach to yoga incorporates his knowledge of tae kwon do, hapkido, and tai chi, especially as to how physical exertion can lead to painful injury. Joyce also practices yoga with a mind toward healing—her years behind the wheel of a school bus have resulted in several spinal injuries. By juggling a demanding job that can take physical tolls, Joyce's empathy and spirit shine through in each class she teaches.
Along with the other instructors, Vidal and Joyce bring their distinct backgrounds to hot and power yoga classes that strengthen muscles and boost flexibility. The mind and spirit are considered just as vital; on-staff wellness practitioners augment the effects of yoga with services such as massage, acupuncture, personal training, and therapy.

Hugh Hefner didn't invent sexual sin. It is a problem that has been around since our ancestors walked east of Eden, and it will be around until the new Jerusalem descends upon us. The good news is that the Bible promises that we can experience foretastes of that coming freedom in the here and now. But how? The Apostle Paul commands the Christians at Colossae, "Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry" (Colossians 3:5). But how do we do this? If we rip this verse away from the … Continue reading →
When it comes to Internet safety, the early and middle childhood years can seem cut-and-dry for parents: set rules, monitor, block, filter. Easy. But as kids become teenagers, parenting can feel like uncharted waters—especially online. Two important facts, when mixed, often cause great confusion… The Internet is full of dangers and temptations, and the unwise or unprepared teen can't be expected to navigate those dangers well. Teens are growing into full adults, and one of the best ways to prepare them for adulthood is to help them become their own watchdogs, depending less and less on mom and dad to … Continue reading →
You could say we rushed into it, that we didn't take enough time to really get to know each other, and that if we had, perhaps I would have found out about the porn problem before we stood before God and declared our love and devotion.

The truth is this: no matter what, we never know everything about our partner before we enter into union with him … Continue reading →
This following is adapted from Your Brain on Porn, a free e-book available from Covenant Eyes. The Bible does not describe us merely as wayward, broken, or needing a moral boost but as those who are dead in sin (Eph. 2:1). Dead men and women do not just need recovery: they need resurrection. For the follower of Christ, the ultimate goal is not merely "quitting pornography," but is something far richer and more comprehensive. If merely modifying behavior was the most important thing, there are any number of psychological tips and tricks one can use. But for the Christian, as … Continue reading →
I contemplated whether or not to use the title above for a book I wrote on parenting and its relationship to addiction. But I decided to use it because I like the title for this reason: it focuses upon the parenting process and parental goals, more than the product-oriented goal of a so-called "perfect" child.

To which the other fireman rightly responded: "Fireproof doesn't mean that fire will never … Continue reading →

Next week Centrad will launch RedCam. RedCam is a new CCTV and mobile recording system for all commercial vehicles. RedCam is a reverse-front-side safety camera system, which can record up to four cameras simultaneously.
RedCam uses the latest high-speed high capacity SD memory cards to securely record video. Video is recorded continuously and additionally any video linked to alarms or incidents is recorded in a second, highly secure storage location. Alarm and incident triggered video is stored in an additional second memory card vault. This ensures that incident related video is available for weeks or even months. There are also on-line 3G and wifi options available.
Installing RedCam can help in reducing fraudulent accident claims, vehicle damage, load theft and vandalism for a business. The mobile recording system also has a record in improving driver performance, load safety, reversing safety, cyclist and pedestrian safety and proof of delivery accuracy.

Justice Kalidas Mukherjee, one of the two Calcutta High Court judges who upheld the death sentence of don Aftab Ansari in the 2002 Amercian Center case, has received a threat letter following which his security has been enhanced, police said today.
The judge filed a complaint on Friday on threats held out to him for upholding Ansari's death sentence on February fifth, Deputy Commissioner of Kolkata Police, Detective Department, Damayanti Sen said.
"We are verifying the contents of the letter addressed to the judge and the sender's identity and motive," she said.
Sen said that adequate security was provided to the judge.
According to police sources, the typed letter warned that the judge "had not done the right thing" by upholding the death sentence.
This was the first instance of a high court judge receiving a threat letter, they said.
The High Court on February five upheld the death sentences of Ansari and another accused Jamiluddin Nasir awarded by a trial court.
Six police personnel were killed in the attack in front of the American Centre here on January 22, 2002.
Three low-intensity explosions rocked the state on Thursday at a time when two central agencies — the National Investigation Agency and the National Security Guard — are probing the October 2 blast in Burdwan.

The green and orange LED on the phone is solid orange when charging and solid green when fully charged. It also periodically flashes green when you have an email.
When you get an SMS message, the trackpad LED pulses periodically. I think it stops after a while.
As far as I know, there is no way to configure which light blinks for which notification and how it blinks.
2. How to

Is there app to map buttons, or tell me some games which have that option ingame.
The hardware keyboard only works for games that support it. I don't think many games support the hardware keyboard as keyboard phones are not that common.
3. And because I am begginer , tell me
some usable utility applications
- taskiller, batery saver etc. by name.
First of all, since you come from Symbian, you have to forget about how an OS manages system resources when coming to Android. Android tries to makes the best use of memory and processing power. It also suspends apps that don't have anything to do (like a web browser that is not in the foreground). Apps that are loaded in memory doesn't use processing power or battery if it doesn't need it, so don't worry about that. Android tries to load into memory what it thinks you may need in the future to improve load time, so having little free memory is not a bad thing. Killing tasks is generally bad because what happens is Android thinks you will need that task again and load it back in. This means killing a task may end up using processing power while accomplishing nothing useful.
As for saving battery, I think you will find that over time, your battery will start to last longer. Partly the reason is that with a new phone, you will be playing with it a lot. Once you get used to your phone and configure it in a way that you like, you will end up tweaking it less and thus use less power. This happened when I got my Nokia N97 and with my Desire Z. Another reason is that brand new cell phone batteries don't last as long as batteries that have been used and recharged a number of times. The manual with your phone should say so. Between both of these, I found my phones tend to start to last longer after about 2-3 weeks.
If this is a brand new phone, I highly recommend you get the latest firmware upgrade, Gingerbread (aka Android 2.3). I found that it seems my battery lasts a bit longer with this update.
As for other utilities, it really depends on what you really want or need to do. One thing I would recommend is to try the Opera Mini and Opera Mobile web browsers. Opera Mini saves you about 75% data when browsing and it's really fast. Opera Mobile is a more full featured browser that supports Flash. I tend to use these more often than the stock browser. These browsers also allow you to organise your bookmarks in folders.

We shared several appetizers and a couple pizzas as we watched sports. The service and food were good. I enjoyed being there.
First of all, they are not located where they are shown on the Trip Advisor page. They have moved to a new location, near their old building, but in a house converted to a restaurant. They are now located at 22 Avenida SO, San Pedro Sula 21102, Honduras. You can search google maps "tre fratelli san pedro sula" to find...
Four of us ate there. The service and food were very good. Three of us had the "gambas al ajillo" (grilled shrimp). They were excellent.
We found this place through this site and decided to try it. There were lots of choices on the menu, but we had our hearts set on the brick oven pizza and were not disappointed. I had a glass of white wine which was not good so I returned it for a glass of red, which was at least drinkable....
Place is pretty good, much smaller than their original location, but pretty good.
Food is OK, what you would expect from a franchise restaurant, service is pretty slow, so be patient.
If you would like to taste original Italian food and not franchise, look elswhere (Vicente Restaurant).
you are not in italy but the Pizza here is just as good or better
This restaurant can be hit-or-miss on the menu items. I have never had a bad meal here, but once in a while they really hit one out of the park! Same with the wine list... they will bring several bottles to your table - and once in a while you find a gem at a bargain price.
Good for adults,...
I don't know if it's the Italian heritage in me, or simply the intrinsic goodness found in Italian cuisine, but my taste buds never fail to be excited by it. Even mediocre imitation Italian restaurants usually offer at least one dish that will sate my cravings. I didn't have entirely high expectations of an Italian restaurant being very authentic in...
After last year's recession, I have found the economy has taken its toll on many restaurants in San Pedro. The result, as I have noticed, is reflected in compromised ingredient quality and limited menu ranges. This establishment stands as the exception to such downgrades.
My party of three thoroughly enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere (calm and clean) and attentive waiters. As...
Maybe i might sound difficult and choosy .
but i am not such a big fan of Tre Fratelli food.
the reason i go back there, though, is it's quiet and there and you can enjoy your dinner. Seems the people come there to dine are well educated and have good manners.

Sarah Michelle Gellar by Richard Cartwright/FOX
It seems like a more innocent time, when a haircut could rock an entire network. But that's what happened when Felicity star Keri Russell's trademark curly locks were shorn during a summer hiatus in 1999. The early WB fave was never the same after that follicle debacle. Susanne Daniels, who was the creative executive behind many of the network's early successes, and Variety deputy editor Cynthia Littleton have recounted the wild ride of the short-lived six network era in Season Finale: The Unexpected Rise and Fall of the WB and UPN (Harper Books). When reading the story, it's hard to believe two over-the-air broadcast networks were launched only a dozen years before we made a habit out of watching TV on our computers. Both UPN and the WB (which merged to become the CW last year) were born out of their studio-owners' fear that once the government allowed the established networks to produce their own series, they would be shut out of prime time. That never happened. But the youth-orie...

Blake Lively and Penn Badgley in Gossip Girl by Andrew Eccles/The CW
Is it possible that this season, Wednesdays are the new Thursdays? An incredible amount of high-profile new programming nine freshman series in all will be introduced to the Wednesday prime-time schedule over the next few weeks, and when the dust settles, I can only hope a few of my new favorites will survive.First up are CBS, the CW and Fox, launching their newbies a week before the official season begins. The biggest headlines so far have been generated by CBS' unseen-by-critics and instantly controversial Kid Nation, a reality show in which 40 kids are set loose in a desert ghost town (actually an unused film set) and tasked to create a Utopian adult-free society. Sounded kind of prosocial and heartwarming until all those red flags began to surface about possible abuse of child-labor laws, penurious confidentiality agreements that made boilerplate mention of such possible reality-show liabilities as STDs, and allegations of injuries on the set. Something tells me th...

Ray Wise and Bret Harrison in Reaper by Michael Courtney/The CW
It took a year, but the CW (the network cobbled together from the ashes of the WB and UPN) is finally starting to look like a real network, albeit one aggressively and obsessively focused on the 18-34 youth market. Which no doubt is causing more than a few existential crises among those longtime vets of the TCA press tour who said goodbye to that demo a while ago.Dawn Ostroff, the networks relentlessly perky entertainment president, took a no regrets approach to her upbeat presentation Friday morning. Shes serious about tapping into trends with her programming and with various online/digital offshoots (especially where the new teen soap Gossip Girl is concerned), but otherwise, theres something kind of refreshing about a network that doesnt take itself too seriously.There was loud laughter in the room during clips of the CWs various lightweight reality shows, including a first look at the new twist on guilty-pleasure fave Beauty and the Geek...

It's almost a given that a show with tons of music will have at least one song replaced when it comes out on DVD, but what if that one song is the theme for the show? The earliest theme-song replacements occurred on Dawson's Creek and Married... with Children, the former using the international theme, and the latter using a sound-alike song, but the replacements didn't stop there. Since then we've heard new theme songs for Life Goes On, the international theme for Las Vegas, a butchered theme for Baywatch, George Lopez uttering some words instead of "Low Rider" and the season 3 theme being used on season 2 of Happy Days. Why is this happening?Most songs are licensed on a per-play basis, so the theme song costs are multiplied by the number of episodes in the season. A $20,000 song quickly becomes $440,000 for the season, and the studios are telling us that the recording companies hold this songs hostage, knowing that it's the most important song to license. Sony delayed the third sea...

The best thing I saw on Super Bowl Sunday? Pans Labyrinth. But thats a different story (or a different column). Anything to get out of doors (even in the frigid cold) to skip the first few hours of pre-Super Bowl hype.The worst thing I saw on Super Bowl Sunday? A typically unpleasant, thoroughly predictable episode of Criminal Minds that followed the big game. More on that later.In between, we had a game played in torrential rain that had plenty of reversals (how slippery was that football, anyway?) and was plenty exciting, especially to a former Indiana resident and current Peyton Manning fan. The buzz about Super Bowls is that this is usually the one night of the year when you actually watch the ads and zip your TiVo through the game. This year, that would have been a mistake.I lost count of the number of moronic Bud Light ads I had to sit through just to get to the two memorable ads for classic Budweiser. As usual, there was a classy one involving Clydesdales, this ye...

If there were any justice, TV would ease up on the glut of crime and legal dramas. But that's hardly likely, and Fox's cynical Justice (Wednesdays at 9 pm/ET) knows it all too well.
Realizing how pointless it would be to try to reinvent the courtroom drama, Justice embraces the fact that our post-O.J. society is saturated with true-crime coverage and fake-crime stories. That's why TV itself (embodied by a fictional infotainment show, "American Crime") is a major character in Jerry Bruckheimer's latest fun-to-watch procedural.
As the head of a glamorous L.A. law firm, Victor Garber sheds the tight-lipped restraint of Alias' Jack Bristow and taps into his theatrical roots as cocky

Question: I heard that WB was going to air its entire first season before the merge with UPN. Is there any truth to this rumor? With so little on the air this summer, reruns of the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and other classic WB shows would bring some much-needed humor to TV.
Answer: A slight (but significant) correction: what WB is planning to do on its last official Sunday night, Sept. 17, is rebroadcast the first episodes of such signature series as Felicity, Angel, Buffy and Dawson's Creek. (Shows continuing on at CW were not considered for this stunt, which is why 7th Heaven and Smallville aren't on the list.) Believe me, you wouldn't want to watch WB's first season on the air, which mainly consisted of one lousy sitcom after another.
Also regarding the WB/UPN-to-CW switch, Amanda asks: "What exactly will happen when WB and UPN unite? Since I already have both channels, will I have two CW channels?" Not a silly question, because this is an unprecedented situation

Gabrielle Christian, South of Nowhere
If you are a fan of The N's South of Nowhere, you might be sad that you still have to wait a while for new episodes — especially since the high-school series left on a bit of a cliff-hanger, with gal pals Spencer and Ashley locking lips. Since Nowhere started filming again this week, TVGuide.com spoke with star Gabrielle Christian, who plays Spencer, for a sneak peek at what to expect next season.
TVGuide.com: You're just getting ready to start production. Have you seen any scripts?Gabrielle Christian: We started shooting on Monday. We've had one table read and we're actually starting by filming Episodes 3 and 4 first. We've heard the overall story.

Comments about American DJ LTS50T Port Lighting Truss System:
Used at daytime outdoor event. Attached lightweight cloth curtains with zip ties as a backdrop for performers.Received many positive comments on pro look of set up. Please note this was a very calm weather day. I would not use cloth backdrop on any kind of windy day to avoid possible blow over. Alternative curtain could be a ribbon foil type.Plan to use again for outdoor evening event with lights attached, without curtains.

I've used this truss once and it worked fine. I mounted 6 lights to it. It seems to be a little flimsy on the middle support brace.

Canal Bridge over road, Longwood Westmeath
Near Longwood in Westmeath when driving under these two bridges most do not realise that they are driving underneath a canal. A lot would have seen them running over motorways and not realise that this has been done for over a hundred years. The first bridge is the railway line the second is the canal.
Its hard to believe that a busy regional road runs over this peaceful looking spot, the canal is wider at this spot I assume for loading and unloading and docking of barges.

RE: [discuss] L'heure est au libre!: Vista, Network Neutrality, andCanadian Copyright revision...
> >> 'All Canadian Citizens are "Rights Holders"!'
All Canadian Citizens have a bunch of rights that are codified in the Constitution act. They also have some more that come from common law. If you are not a Canadian citizen you can't access many of those rights through the constitution act. You may have equivalent rights based on your own status. From your website it appears that you may be connected with the UK. Since both Canada and the UK have a common base of historical law, you probably have some rights from the common base.
As far as relevance, courts in the "common Law" countries will use each others decisions as part of the logical analysis in cases. Canadian courts will look to Britain, Australia and the US. One assumes that British courts would do the same.
So "all Canadian Citizens are rights holders" "Non-Canadian Citizens may not have as many rights (in Canada) as Canadians" simple example, as a Canadian I have the right to remain in Canada, a non citizen who has outstayed their Visa does not.

"One day, on my way back from work, I tuned-in to what used to be my favorite station and started listening to Catholic Answers Live. Slowly, the hard shell that had been built around me started breaking apart every time I listened to your show. There have been several programs that have touched me very deeply, even to the point of tears."

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) – Gov. Jerry Brown announced Monday that he has signed a bill limiting full-contact football practices at middle and high schools in response to concerns about concussions, even as many teams already comply with the rules.
Brown approved the bill, AB 2127, with the support of medical groups and the California Interscholastic Federation, which oversees California high school athletics.
Assemblyman Ken Cooley, D-Rancho Cordova, said his bill is motivated by parents worried about the risks associated with concussions, which include long-term brain damage and early onset dementia.
Under the legislation taking effect in 2015, drills involving game-speed tackling are prohibited in the offseason. They are limited to 90-minute sessions twice a week the rest of the year. The rules apply to public, private and charter schools.
"There's really not a big uproar about this because it really is nothing new for our coaches," said Brian Seymour, a senior director with the California Interscholastic Federation.
His organization has also addressed concussion risks by limiting total practice time to 18 hours per week. At the college level, the Ivy League and Pac-12 Conference have reduced full-contact practice to cut down on head injuries.
Some lawmakers questioned whether the issue merits state regulation and whether the proposal puts students at a competitive disadvantage when competing against students in other states.
Cooley notes that Texas, the setting of the "Friday Night Lights" book and TV series, has even stricter rules by allowing only one 90-minute full-contact session a week.

The iPhone 5 edges out the 5S as the most widely used model, according to mobile analytics firm Localytics. But let's see what happens when the iPhone 6 arrives.
The latest version of Apple's mobile operating system is now available. Here's what you need to know before downloading it .
It's iOS 8.0.2 to the rescue, Apple hopes, after a software upgrade the day before had a rough landing on thousands of iPhones.
UPDATED: Apple has issued a "workaround" for its most recent update to iOS 8 which aimed to fix issues like "unexpected cellular data usage" when receiving text messages.
Doors open at Apple stores across the globe as the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus hit the shelves.
The latest version of Apple's mobile operating system is now available for download on all iPhones from the 4S on, as well as newer iPads.
There are two paths to upgrade your current iPhone to iOS 8: over the air or via iTunes.

Sunday, December 16, 2012, 05:41 pm PT (08:41 pm ET)
Apple sold 2 million iPhone 5 units in China launch weekendSales of the iPhone 5 topped two million units in its first weekend of availability in China, Apple announced Sunday evening.
"Customer response to iPhone 5 in China has been incredible, setting a new record with the best first weekend sales ever in China," said Tim Cook, Apples CEO. "China is a very important market for us and customers there cannot wait to get their hands on Apple products."
The iPhone 5 launched in China last Friday, Dec. 14. Apple's latest smartphones will be available in more than 100 countries by the end of December, making it the fastest iPhone rollout ever.
Apple's announcement on Sunday only disclosed sales of the iPhone 5 in China, and did not include the 32 other countries where the iPhone 5 went on sale last Friday.
Some pundits expressed concern that lines for the iPhone 5 were shorter than usual at Apple's retail stores throughout China. But that was by design, as Apple switched to an online reservation system in response to rampant scalping and incidents of violence during previous product launches.
Signs of a record breaking debut for the iPhone 5 in China came last week, when it was announced that preorders for the handset through carrier China Unicom exceeded 300,000 as of last Monday. In comparison, China Unicom saw 200,000 preorders for the iPhone 4S, suggesting demand is even greater for Apple's latest model.
Availability of the iPhone 5 was also greater than previous models: The iPhone 4S launched only on one carrier, China Unicom, while the iPhone 5 debuted on two, adding China Telecom to the mix.

Ohio State lands a commitment from Booker. Dave Miller
Despite a recent pair of visits to Notre Dame that made Ohio State fans uneasy, outside linebacker Dante Booker gave a verbal pledge to the Buckeyes on Thursday.
The 6-3, 215-pound Class of 2014 product from St. Vincent-St. Mary High School (Akron, OH) is a big in-state pickup for Urban Meyer and his staff as they look to continue to bring impact defenders into Columbus and assemble future SEC-like defenses.
Booker, who is one of the best players in the state of Ohio and a U.S. Army All-American, chose the Buckeyes over offers from major programs such as Notre Dame, Michigan and Tennessee, among others. He is the second St. Vincent-St. Mary product in the Buckeyes' 2014 class, joining teammate Parris Campbell, a wide receiver who gave his pledge to the Buckeyes in February.
Last season, Booker recorded 72 tackles, six sacks and two interceptions, which helped him earn first-team all-Ohio honors.
Linebacker has been a major focus for Ohio State during this recruiting cycle after landing Mike Mitchell and Trey Johnson this past February. Both are expected to see action this fall. Booker joins fellow northeast Ohio linebacker Kyle Berger, who committed to the school in April, in the 2014 class. OSU is still going after Georgia's Raekwon McMillan and Pennsylvania's Chase Winovich as well.

STOCKTON (CBS13) – He used himself as a shield to break a woman's fall. The Stockton man who tried to break a woman's 50-foot fall at a Raiders game told CBS13 he's no hero.
Donnie Navidad was posing for pictures with a friend after the game Sunday when he heard commotion. He told the woman to not jump and when she did, he quickly helped.
"It's like, am I actually witnessing this?" said Donnie Navidad.
Navidad, a Marine vet, watched in horror as the young woman jumped from a 50-foot ledge.
"When I seen her falling, I kinda grabbed her. I tried to grab her so she wouldn't bounce," he said.
The 61 year old broke the woman's fall with his bare hands. She landed about six yards away, critically injured.
"I'm concerned with her; she's a young lady with a lot of life ahead of her," said Navidad.
The great-grandfather was released from the hospital Sunday night, thankful he survived the ordeal with nothing more than a couple of bad bruises.
"I saw stars. I wasn't knocked out; then I started feeling tingling in my arm," said Navidad.
Responders hailed Navidad a hero.
"It went in one ear and out the other," said Navidad.
He's a humble one at that.
"The definition of hero – geez, Batman? Superman, no? It's just an instinct," he said.
It's an instinct that remains from his time as a Marine.
"They say once a Marine always a Marine. The training that you receive, you don't leave that. That stays with you," he said.
The woman was in the third level, closed to fans. It's not clear why she jumped, but Navidad believes there's a reason he was in the level below ready to help.
"In a way, it's like a supreme being put me in that more or less position," he said.
Well wishes from near and far have poured in, including a call from the Raiders team. Navidad is a life-long fan and season ticket holder.

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosting toilet fair in Seattleon August 14, 2012 @ 5:55 am (Updated: 3:05 pm - 8/14/12 )
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has challenged the world to reinvent the toilet and the new designs will be making their debut in Seattle.
On Tuesday, the foundation will be hosting its "Reinvent the Toilet Fair." This isn't just about getting a better working toilet or even water conservation, they're hoping the next generation of toilets will help save millions of lives.
"Good sanitation saves lives and it's really a key to good health globally. Today, 2.5 billion people don't have access to toilets and 1.5 million child deaths are attributed to poor sanitation conditions," says Carl Hensman, the Program Officer for Water Sanitation and Hygiene at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. "Two-hundred years ago we had the invention of the flush toilet and we've really not done anything in the engineering of the toilet since then."
There are experts from Singapore, Switzerland, China, and the UK in Seattle for the toilet fair after the foundation introduced the challenge one year ago to reinvent the toilet.
The toilets they're looking for will work off the grid, says Hensman. The toilet should require no power, little or no water, and be able to support users for no more than 5 cents per user per day. He says they've got at least eight really promising designs.
"There are different ways of doing it. In one of the examples we have what is called 'hydrothermal carbonization,' a really big term that really represents a pressure cooker. What you do is take the fecal material and the urine and you'll essentially cook it under pressure and the material you get out of that has an energy you can use to fuel your cooker or you can actually use it as a fertilizer as well," says Hensman.
They also have a couple dozen more exhibits that will be showcased that look at things like water sanitation and recycling the water that is used in some toilets. The toilet designs will also be demonstrated for the crowds.
"We have supplied simulated feces," says Hensman. "Some of the exhibitors have brought their own fake material."
After one year, some really promising progress has been made, but Hensman says there's still work that needs to be done. He's hoping everyone can work together in a collaborative effort to find the best possible design.
"There are pieces of each of their technologies that can be combined," says Hensman. "That's what we're really looking for is how can we pull everybody together to sort the solution out."
Once they've put a solid plan together, then they'll work on a plan to roll out the new toilets. Hensman says it could be a matter of one toilet per household or even communal toilets that could be used by hundreds or even thousands of people.
