THis is GREAT!! Way to stick with it! We don't have lightning very often here at all. I kind of miss it, but I don't want us to get too much. Always starts a forest fire!!
|Mon, 08-08-2011 - 11:00am
That's wonderful, Dana! I know I could never get anything like that with my camera.
I have friends entering photos at the local county fair. Do you have something local you could enter?
|Mon, 08-08-2011 - 11:01am
Other than being a little depressing - forest fire? It's an awesome capture!
|Mon, 08-08-2011 - 12:05pm
I think it's a good idea too!! I wonder if our fair has a photography contest for adults? Hmmmm too late for this year, but worth checking out!
|Mon, 08-08-2011 - 12:08pm
It can be depressing to watch the fires burn for what seems like months. This one actually has been going for a while! This day it really picked up the pace. The winds were really high. We sometimes get so many fires that if they are not threatening any life or property, they just let them burn. Only yucky part about that is if the wind is up, we breath it.

Chatom, Ala. (WALA) The city of Chatom is mourning the loss an 11 year-old child. Mobile Police say Jakobe Kirksey was playing on the Sears escalator in Bel Air Mall and fell. According to officials at USA Children's and Women's hospital he died Tuesday, June 17.
Virginia Traylor, a member of Lilly Grove Missionary Baptist Church of Chatom, says just last week Kirksey was playing with his buddies during at the church's summer enrichment program. She said some kids are having a difficult time dealing with Kirkey's death.
"Monday it was hard for one of the little girls. She was just so broken…his age. She was just so broken so she's not here today… she wasn't here yesterday," said Traylor.
There are not many details about how Kirksey fell from the Sears escalator in Bel Air Mall. Police only say he was playing on it and his family is asking for privacy.
Traylor says the last several Sundays the church has been praying for Chatom's children. She asks that you do the same.
"we want to say first thank you for being concerned enough to pray. Even your good thoughts. We just want you to continue to lift this community up. That our children would be protected," said Traylor.

The Submission (2011)
by Amy Waldman
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
A jury of 12 people, including artists, politicians, and a family member, select a design for the memorial for the 9/11 bombing site in New York City. Because the process is blind, they do not know that the architect of the winning design is Mohammed Khan, an American Muslim. The reactions are swift and varied. Waldman explores the nuances of the reactions from family members, politicians, the American Muslim community, Conservative radio, and more. She deeply explores their certainties and their doubt, creating no purely good or purely bad people, but a range of people who wrestle with a complex decision. All in all, I was very impressed with how she handled a difficult topic.
The Submission was like a good Tom Wolfe novel without the excessive description. It presents a kaleidoscopic view of New York as it deals with a controversy after a jury in a blind selection process chose a design for the 9/11 memorial that was done by an (atheist, non-believing) Muslim. The characters are all familiar New Yorkers: the urbane architect, the widow who was married to an investment banker, the distinguished former head of an investment bank who chairs the jury as a step towards even better boards, the dead firefighter's brother whose reinfuses his life with purpose by rallying against the memorial design, the Iranian lawyer with a foot in the Muslim community and a foot in publicity, the New York Post's sensationalist reporter, the ambitious governor and most poignantly an undocumented Bangladeshi widow of a janitor who dies on 9/11.
Every one of these characters are familiar, almost a stereotype, but they are also all presented with an impressive degree of sympathy, understanding of their motives, and a presentation of how they are unsure of what they are doing.
Amy Waldman also does an impressive job of taking what seems like a clever concept and turning it into a full novel, as the plot develops and incident builds on incident, culminating in a every effective ending. And she takes what I still think of as a morally black-and-white issue but finds interesting ambiguities and questions and dilemmas that emerge from it.
The Submission has a lot of good writing and interesting phrases, but it is not an exercise in flashy writing or novel storytelling methods, instead it is more about its range of subjects and the dilemmas it presents. It is not meant as an insult to the book to say that it would be a good choice as required reading in high schools where you could picture the endless discussions of the various dilemmas it poses, as well as a lesson in intolerance and bigotry.
It takes real skill to weld a compelling narrative out of (recognizably, understandably, humanly) aggravating elements. There was not one character here with whom I didn't sympathize, and not one who failed to annoy me almost beyond bearing. Seems about right, considering the subject matter, and also seems utterly appropriate to the times. I'd like to revisit this novel in twenty years and see what affect the intervening time has on the reading of it.
Struggling to review this, but it certainly makes you think... deeply and at length. Certainly one of the best books of the last few years and a brilliant achievement for a debut novel.
Not my favorite. Required reading for RA class. Good book for book discussion.
While there is no shortage of American writers who bemoan all that has been done to their nation, by their nation, in the name of 9/11, there has been, until now, a dearth of American novels exploring that particular trajectory (there is a dearth of American novelists exploring what has been done to other nations by their nation, too, but that's another matter). There are, of course, various ideas about why this is so. One of them is this: how do you take the trauma and grief of 9/11 as the starting point of a novel and move on to a tale of suspended civil liberties and prejudice without the former entirely overshadowing the latter? Waldman takes hold of this potential stumbling block and turns it into the bedrock of her novel. The grief surrounding 9/11 – the forms it takes, the claims it makes, the claims made in its name by third parties, the hierarchy which surrounds it (not all griefs are equal), the guilt and anger which are born from it, the gulf between the silence of private grief and the clamour of public grief – is central to this exceptional debut about a changing America.
"The Submission" is set not in 2010 but in 2003, and concerns not a mosque but a 9/11 memorial. A jury, assembled by the state's governor, has spent months reviewing architects' anonymous submissions for a monument to be built on the site of the tragedy. Finally, a winner is selected: the design is called "The Garden" (in contrast with the other finalist, "The Void"), and its detractors can fault it only for being "too beautiful." But once the choice is settled and a name attached to the blueprints, the jury discovers, to its alarm, that the architect is a Muslim named Mohammad Khan.
Elegantly written and tightly plotted, "The Submission" ultimately remains a novel about the unfolding of a dramatic situation — a historian's novel — rather than a novel that explores the human condition with any profundity. And yet in these unnerving times, in which Waldman has seen facts take the shape of her fiction, a historian's novel at once lucid, illuminating and entertaining is a necessary and valuable gift.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0374271569, Hardcover)
Amazon Best Books of the Month, August 2011: Amy Waldman has performed a rare and dangerous feat in writing an airtight, multi-viewed, highly readable post-9/11 novel. When a Muslim architect wins a blind contest to design a Ground Zero Memorial, a city of eleven million people takes notice. Waldman, a former bureau chief for the New York Times, explores a diversity of viewpoints around this fictional event, bringing in politicians, businessmen, journalists, activists, and normal people whose lives--whether by happenstance, choice, or even due to their country of origin--get caught up in the controversy. Incredibly, she manages to keep all the balls in the air without ever fumbling. The story is moving and keeps the pages turning, but there are also bigger themes at work: of individuals versus groups; about the purpose of art, commerce, government, and journalism in society; of how people respond to grief and terror. The result is honest, compelling, and breathtaking.--Chris Schluep

CBO Says Minimum Wage Hike Reduces Employment, Raises Wages; White House Defends $10.10 Option
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The Congressional Budget Office, a nonpartisan federal agency, reported Tuesday that a minimum wage hike would reduce employment and boost families' incomes.
The results come amid a debate between Democrats and Republicans in Washington as to whether the United States should increase the minimum wage requirements -- an argument that could have serious ramifications for control of the House and Senate during the 2014 midterm elections.
The CBO examined the wage-hike effects based on two scenarios: a $10.10 option versus a $9 option.
In the fully implemented $10.10 minimum, the agency found a central estimate of about 500,000 workers would lose their jobs, while boosting income for low-wage workers by $31 billion. However, the CBO said just $5.89 billion of that estimate would accrue for families living below the poverty threshold.The likely series of employment scenarios for the $10.10 option ranged from a "very slight decrease" to 1 million jobs cuts. In the fully implemented $9 minimum wage -- a policy President Barack Obama endorsed early last year -- the CBO reported a central estimate of about 100,000 workers would lose work, while income for families living below the poverty line would gain by $1 billion. This, the report said, would lift 300,000 people out of poverty. Employment scenarios for the $9 option ranged from a "very slight decrease" to a loss of 200,000 jobs. Republicans quickly endorsed the CBO report as confirmation that higher wages would hurt the labor situation. "This report confirms what we've long known: while helping some, mandating higher wages has real costs, including fewer people working," Brendan Buck, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, wrote in a statement to reporters. The White House Tuesday afternoon held a conference call with reporters to defend its position to raise the federal minimum wage to $10.10. The CBO's estimates on employment for the $10.10 minimum wage don't reflect the overall consensus view of economists, said Jason Furman, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors. Furman repeatedly said the CBO's estimates did not reflect the consensus of 64 empirical economic studies the White House has used to support its claim that boosting the minimum wage would have a neutral effect on employment. "When it comes to employment, I think [the CBO] are not restating what I would understand the consensus to be, and that's where I think there's some respectful disagreement on the emphasis and the certainty around that magnitude of employment loss," Furman said.
When reporters asked if, politically, it would be easier for the White House to convince members of Congress to raise the minimum wage to $9 instead of the $10.10 Obama currently is endorsing, Furman dodged a direct answer. Instead, Furman said the $10.10 hike would boost more families above the poverty line and reiterated that the CBO report on employment did not represent the view of most economists. Last February, 34% of economists polled by the Chicago Booth School of Business said they agreed that a $9 minimum wage would make it more difficult for low-skilled workers to find jobs. Some 32% disagreed. But what also stuck out in the report was that 24% of the economists said they were uncertain -- a sign of the broad distribution of opinion among economists on the topic. The present federal minimum wage sits at $7.25 an hour, which the government implemented in July 2009. This increased the previous minimum of $6.55 an hour set in July 2008. Minimum wage since 2007 has risen nearly 24%, whereas during the 10 years prior to that it rose about 14%. -- Written by Joe Deaux in New York. >Contact by Email. Follow @JoeDeaux

High school time outs and resets
Find a Conversation

Having just finished reading "The Inner Wealth Initiaitive," I am anxious to implement it into the high school summer course I'll be teaching.
I am at a loss, however, as to what kind of time outs (resets) that would be approriate for sophmore to senior high school students.
|Sat, 06-13-2009 - 8:29am
Welcome to the board and it's exciting to read in your post that you've read The Inner Wealth Initiative as well and are going to use the Approach in your classroom
A couple of ideas come to mind:
Practice your expecations with the class before you implement.

There are several "experts" in your area who I'm sure would be willing to help you implement as well as may be able to come and observe and share more of your greatness along with some additional tips and ideas with you.

CPS Energy Retrofits 20,000 Street Lamps to LED
Toshiba International's TGT LED Luminaires will replace over 20,000 high-pressure sodium (HPS) street lamps in San Antonio, Texas.
CPS Energy selected Toshiba's LED roadway lighting, which includes LED products that will be communications-enabled, allowing for connection to the Smart Grid and other communications technologies.
San Antonio's pre-existing 250-watt HPS luminaires consume 310 system watts and are being replaced by Toshiba's 100-watt 42-chip TGT LED luminaires.
Conventional HPS luminaires produce a low color rendering, which may make it difficult to discern true colors of cars or surroundings, whereas LED luminaires produce a more accurate color rendering, according to Toshiba. Additionally, LED luminaires produce superior light uniformity, which means the light is directed where it's needed with less light loss or misdirected light and more uniform light levels with better average to minimum footcandles, as compared to HPS luminaires. The monochromatic nature of HPS also makes the ability to detect contrast difficult. This affects a driver's ability to see small objects or obstructions on the road, which could represent a safety hazard.
The Toshiba TGT LED Luminaire is a direct replacement for high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting, such as HPS or metal-halide. Toshiba's TGT LED luminaire has a rated life of 100,000 hours L85, and the photocells have a rated life of 15 years, which means the TGT luminaire lasts up to 5 times longer with a lower lumen depreciation than metal-halide and twice as long as high-pressure sodium products.

The mini bus transfer to the airport the driver was great
Threating location and 'down at heel' services. The 'free' breakfast is a joke bun in a paper bag although the coffee was good. Not the staff's fault the Days Inn H/O need to be ashamed allowing one of their hotels to be presented in this way. Take a look at budget hotel chains in the UK would be my advice.
Friendly shuttle bus driver
- crumbs under the bedsheets. I could feel bumps, which is why I looked what's underneath. - loose tap that would not open - needs a renovation
paper bag with juice, muffin and apple (which was not very fresh) is not a breakfast. Noisy air contitioning/ heating system.
Very old looking hotel
The ceiling was caving in, and mouldy. There was no hot water in the shower. The lock on the door was broken, I was unable to lock the door to the room and when I went to complain to the front desk, they brushed me off saying it was the only room left, take it or leave it. Finally I ended up sleeping holding all my belongings against me. Fortunately it was a short night, I stayed there only because my flight was canceled, but it was by far the scariest place I have ever stayed in, and I have stayed in some real dives.
The staff was great. Shuttle service was really friendly and fast
Don't bring your kids here, you are safer and better off at the airport. Pay the extra money if you have to get a hotel room
Very close to the airport.
Poor presentation, poor breakfast, no ammenities, poor facilities, cold place in winter.
Shuttle bus
Cold, dank, scary. I know it was cheap - but would have to be much cheaper to be value for money.
Very friendly
Breakfast was poor
My reservation was not on file. The front desk was not helpful or friendly. I requested a microwave, coffe maker and refig as on the Booking.com website. I was told "we told them to take that off the website". I stayed two nights, the second day my key was de-programmed. The Booking.com price is not the price I was charged. Being from this area, I should have knewn better. This hotel is a dump. The bathroom was bad and the room was small. The King size bed was bigger than the room.
lukewarm hot water, worn fixtures, dubious hygiene.
There is nothing to like this hotel!! Someone check this hotel room I was in room 220 I don't understand why this hotel still on business! Is the worse hotel I ever stay!
Transfer to and from the airport, the price
Bed was not comfortable enough
I booked a room for two nights a month in advanced. When I was checking in, the female clerk at the reception said that my booking was alright but the room rate was not paid! So I had to pay the room again at a higher rate. I expect that some reads this review so i can get a refund
The friendliness snd efficiency of staff, courtesy 24 hr shuttle, close to airport.
Hotel old, one lamp plug was missing, small room, King size mattress has sunken places in it. Noisy.from other guests congregating outside late evening snd early morning
Nothing. Bad service !
This hotel didn't have great reviews but I booked anyway as just a place to sleep for one night and I'm not fussy. However, would not go there again. Staff did the best they could but room smelt bad (stale cigarette smoke?) and the smell was in all my clothes when left. 'Breakfast' was a few junk food snacks in a bag which I didn't eat - my advice - bring your own. Hot water available in reception.
The shuttle was the reason we stayed there.
A older hotel, older furnishing, but clean
value for money shuttle service
non availability complimentary items such as drinking water and kettle for tea /coffee etc
The location meant I could unload my bags outside the building.
Horrible bed. No Wifi except in reception area, so no privacy and it was very poor quality. No kitchen facilities for guests to make drinks or cook food. Way too expensive for facilities offered.
Couldn't be much closer to the airport! The shuttle service was pretty reliable and efficient.
Got bitten by a bug in the bed Felt a little uncomfortable about safety Don't book this if you are finding somewhere to stay for a holiday to NYC, only use is as a bed before an early flight from Newark airport.
location and free airport shuttle service

I was in a 8 year relationship and was complety blind to what I had. In may of last year my father died and I was in car accidwnt . I pushed loved ones away. I began to cheat on the most amazing person who had nothing but 100% of love for me. Why did I cheat so much? What do you guys do to control the desire to just get the rocks off. Women is the same for you?
chasejake 36-40, M 4 Answers 1 Feb 11 in Dating & Relationships
People of both genders cheat when they're with the wrong person for them .. they aren't cut out for commitment .. or have no character. It's not about gender .. <br />
You were trying to numb yourself with sex instead of dealing with the real issues in your life.
Best Answer
I think your answer is yes! It takes two to tango.i cheated when I was married with two kids and the woman I cheated with was also married and had two kids.i think it's pretty much equal but for some reason men seem to bore the brunt of the cheating ridicule. I guess we get caught more than the women? Who knows!

Home » News » Energy
Legislature's use of Renewable Energy Fund called 'bait and switch'
When the surplus was revealed in the fund's annual report last October, it was obviously low-hanging fruit for lawmakers trying to balance the state budget with limited options for new revenue. Asked about the likelihood of raiding the fund in May, Gov. Maggie Hassan said the state had to confront a variety of tough choices, especially if it was to avoid a Senate-proposed $50 million cut in state personnel costs.
The statute creating the renewable-energy program clearly states that the funds collected cannot be used for any other purpose, but the Legislature works around those restrictions by including this phrase when redirecting money from a dedicated fund: "notwithstanding any provision of the law to the contrary."
Ratepayers don't see a separate line for renewable-energy compliance on their electric bills. It's blended into the energy supply rate.
Epsen said lawmakers have made a practice of raiding dedicated funds to avoid accountability for tax increases.
The Renewable Energy Rebate program provides partial funding or rebates for residential and commercial installations, including wood-pellet boilers and solar panel arrays for electricity or hot water.

Results tagged ' Jed Hoyer '
7/6 Baez & Bryant
* GM Jed Hoyer said it was time for shortstop Javier Baez to be promoted from Class A Daytona to Double-A Tennessee. Baez was batting .274 and led the Florida State League with 17 home runs.
"He's similar to [Starlin} Castro," Hoyer said of Baez on defense. "I think he's going to have to eliminate some careless errors. He's got great hands and can certainly play the position. He's run the bases well, he had a monster month at the plate, played better defense, has been a good teammate. It's time for a better challenge for Javy."
Hoyer said Baez is ahead of schedule by about a month. They did expect him to get to Double-A, just not this quickly.
"We thought it was time for a new challenge for him," Hoyer said.
There will be some growing pains, Hoyer said. Is there a chance Baez could join the Cubs in September?
"I think it's highly unlikely," Hoyer said. "I hate saying 'no chance' to take the carrot away from someone. That's not our plan. The best thing to do is go prove he can dominate at Double-A."
* The July 12 deadline to sign Draft picks is fast approaching. The Cubs have yet to agree to terms with their first-round pick, third baseman Kris Bryant. He's one of five first-round picks who have not signed with their respective teams.
"We're optimistic it will get done on the 12th, or hopefully before that," Hoyer said. "We're going to be fair to him with what we offer. We want him to be a Cub, and hopefully our offer will enable that to happen."

7/2 International flights
Tuesday's Cubs trades weren't just to acquire more pitching for the current team, but to bolster the resources they have for international prospects.
"This is an international class that our scouts really like, and we felt it was very deep," GM Jed Hoyer said Tuesday. "The addition of dollars can help us be aggressive in this international market."
The Cubs have reportedly signed 16-year-old shortstop Gleyber Torres ($1.7 million), considered the best player out of Venezuela in this year's class and ranked third among all international prospects by MLB.com. The Cubs also have signed right-handed pitcher Erling Moreno of Colombia ($800,000). The team would not confirm those signings; the players must pass physicals before those deals can be finalized.
The Cubs are reportedly in the hunt for Dominican outfielder Eloy Jimenez, ranked No. 1 among all international prospects. At 6-4, 198 pounds, Jimenez is an advanced hitter with quick hands and projects as a corner outfielder because of his arm strength and ability.
Tuesday's deals allowed the Cubs to acquire four slots — two from the Orioles and two from the Astros — and they traded one to the Dodgers in the Carlos Marmol exchange. According to Hoyer, the net total was $963,000. The extra money increases the Cubs' total international pool to $5,520,300, the highest among all teams. The Astros' pool dropped from nearly $5 million to $4,159,000.
This is the first year teams are assigned bonus pool money to sign players not eligible for the First-Year Player Draft in June because they are from outside North America. Teams' bonus pools are based on the previous year's won-loss record. Each team has four bonus slots adding up to its total, and is allowed to acquire more slots worth as much as half of that team's original allotment.
By moving Scott Feldman when they did, the Cubs could have the money available on the first day — Tuesday — of the new annual signing period for international free agents.

6/15 Hoyer on Draft, Bryant
Cubs GM Jed Hoyer talked to Chicago beat writers in New York about the recent Draft and the team's rebuilding process:
"We know we need to continue to add pitching," Hoyer said. "It is an organizational weakness. But they always say drafting for need in baseball is exceptionally dangerous. We just felt like for our money, we took the best player on the board. I don't think it affects our timing, but it does mean that pitching will be an emphasis in future drafts and any kind of trades we might make and in free agency."
The Cubs selected outfielder Albert Almora with their first pick in 2012, and chose third baseman Kris Bryant this June. But pitching dominated their other selections in the Drafts.
"It's very difficult to find starting pitching, for sure," Hoyer said. "But it's also very difficult to find power bats. The demographic we ended up choosing is also difficult to find."
The Cubs hope to sign Bryant by the July 12 deadline.
"We'd love to get him out playing and get his Cubs career started as early as possible," Hoyer said of the infielder.
Fans eager to see the Cubs put a winning team on the field need to be patient.
"When the Cubs were trying to win in 2007 and '08, the Pirates and the Brewers and the Reds were rebuilding," Hoyer said. "All those guys they were building [with] at that time are now coming to fruition. … We know it's cyclical, but those teams have built up nice cores. When it comes to the Reds and the Cardinals, those are really mature good teams right now, and the Pirates have obviously built a nice team and have a lot of good stuff coming. No one ever said our process was going to come without competition."
6/12 GM Hoyer on MLB Now
Cubs GM Jed Hoyer was a guest on MLB Network's "MLB Now" on Tuesday and talked with hosts Brian Kenny and Harold Reynolds about a few topics:
* On the bullpen's struggles:
"I think we've outscored our opponents by 30-plus runs in the first six innings. But innings seven, eight and nine, we're getting killed. Our bullpen hasn't shut down games. We've tried to mix and match in the bullpen so far, but that's been our biggest struggle. I think we're a solid team, but ultimately, you look at the Pirates for example, they dominate teams at the end of the game and we're not there right now. That's our biggest struggle right now. That's what's really separating us from being a team that's right around .500."
* On the Cubs' offense:
"We still need to get on base more. We've hit for some power this year, but the on-base percentage has been a struggle. I think until we get on base more and grind out at-bats – I watch the Reds play with Choo and Votto. We don't have that quality of at-bat yet, so I think that's really holding us back a little bit."
* On getting Starlin Castro to be more patient:
"He's a great hitter. I think by the end of the year he'll be back up by .300 and he's a hit-maker. I think, with him, he has power. He's a strong guy. I think the biggest challenge for him is getting into those counts where you can drive pitches. You're not gonna hit a lot of home runs 1-2 in the count. You need to be up 2-0, 2-1. He's getting better at that. He's still developing that, but I think his power will come if he gets in better counts."
* On getting Castro to go deeper in counts:
"It's one that we talk about all the time because this guy is a slasher. He's a guy that barrels up pitches all over the zone. It's a good question. Do you try to teach a guy like that to get on base more and to get in better counts or do you just let him be and let him get his 200 hits? I think that's a big question. I don't think he can be the type of power player we think he can be without getting in those counts."
5/29 Fujikawa done for the season
Reliever Kyuji Fujikawa is done for the season. An MRI revealed ligament damage on his right elbow, and he will have Tommy John surgery.
"It's the first big injury of my career," Fujikawa said Wednesday. "I'm trying to look forward and trying to come back strong."
The right-hander, who was placed on the 15-day DL Monday for the second time this season, felt some discomfort on the first pitch to the Reds' Joey Votto in the ninth inning Sunday. That was his second inning of work, and Votto was the seventh batter he faced in the game.
"I was definitely disappointed," Fujikawa said about getting the MRI results. "I gave it my all, and I don't have any regrets."
He compiled a 12.46 ERA in five games in April before going on the disabled list April 13-May 10 because of a strained right forearm. When he returned, he looked much sharper, and had given up one earned run over 7 2/3 innings in seven games for a 1.17 ERA. Sunday's game was his seventh appearance since coming off the disabled list.
GM Jed Hoyer got the news Tuesday night and said the MRI revealed a rupture of the UCL in the right elbow.
"We're disappointed, obviously," Hoyer said. "Whenever we start talking about forearms, it concerns you. We were cautiously optimistic because the physical exam was positive. The thing about him saying he felt a 'pop,' to be candid, we were hoping
it might be something that was lost in translation. Obviously, he was right."
The Cubs had MRIs of Fujikawa's arm before they signed him last Dec. 7, and he was healthy.
"This was something that happened the other day," Hoyer said. "It's the nature of pitching."
The Cubs and Fujikawa have not set a date for the surgery, nor have they picked a doctor. He was expected to have the procedure done in the U.S. The right-hander said he is confident he can come back and contribute to the Cubs.

5/11 Hoyer: "We need to win more games"
GM Jed Hoyer likes how the Nationals have built their team with good Draft picks and smart trades. The Cubs are trying to get there.
"You look at the Reds, you look at the Cardinals, you look at [the Nationals] and we're not there from a talent standpoint," Hoyer said Saturday. "Some of these clubs offer a nice blueprint. You look at [the Nationals] as to where they were in '08, '09, '10, and where they are now, and it shows you the value of young talent and they've done a nice job mixing veteran guys with that [young] talent. Right now, I want to see us compete with these guys on the field. You look at how they built their team but at some point, I want to beat them."
The Cubs are in last place in the Central division, and appear headed for another overhaul at the Trade Deadline.
"The things we need to solve offensively are pretty clear," Hoyer said. "Our starting pitching has been good enough to be a contender. The bullpen has not been, defense has not been … and the offense hasn't been."
So, what can the team do?
"We can play better and win a lot more games," Hoyer said. "We need to win series. We need to win more games to not be in that position."
The Cubs GM doesn't want to overhaul the roster again. He'd rather they were in contention.
"We don't want to be a seller, that's not a position you want to be in," Hoyer said. "But if you are in that position, you want to take advantage of it. You hope you're looking to buy. It's a lot more fun."
– Carrie Muskat
4/23 Hoyer: We're in this together
Cubs GM Jed Hoyer said he and Theo Epstein share in the team's poor start, and Hoyer made a trip to Cincinnati to give manager Dale Sveum a vote of confidence. Hoyer said Sveum, now in his second season at the helm, has their "full support" and the 5-13 start is not because of the Cubs manager.
"We're all in this together," Hoyer said Tuesday. "We've struggled, it's been painful to watch because we keep on squandering leads. That's on Theo and that's on me. We have to figure out ways to get better. We're not the most talented team in the league right now. We're trying to build to get there but as we get there, we can't continue to make the kind of mistakes we've been making. We have to clean it up and get better. Dale has our complete support. That's not what he should be thinking about in the least."
The Cubs rank among the NL leaders in errors and have the worst batting average with runners in scoring position. The miscues were evident during the Brewers' weekend three-game sweep when the Cubs out-hit them, 22-16. Sveum said they would find other options if players didn't perform.
"The point Dale is trying to make, and I support him 100 percent, is that at some point there has to be accountability," Hoyer said. "If that means benching a guy or reducing his playing time, disciplining him in some ways, at some point, [Sveum] has to be able to pull the strings he has to pull to manage the team successfully and obviously, he has our total support to do that. He's got a great feel for the clubhouse, players respect him, and if he needs to do something to emphasize his point, then he has to do that."
The Cubs have wasted solid pitching. The starters have a 3.11 ERA combined, third best in the National League. But the Cubs have been able to drive in just eight of the 28 players on third with less than two outs. The Major League average is 52 percent. The team isn't doing the little things, such as advancing runners.
"Our starting pitching has been real good and if you had told me we were going to hit the number of home runs we have and have the kind of starting pitching we have, we should have a much better record," Hoyer said. "We should have a much better record regardless."
Hoyer and Epstein have communicated with Sveum a lot over the last few days, but the general manager felt he needed to meet with the manager and the team face to face.
"We know how hard he's working and we're having a lot of sleepless nights as we go through it, and we know he is as well," Hoyer said. "We're in this together. The front office doesn't watch the games and think things are happening on the field that shouldn't be. We're in this together. We have to figure out how to play smarter baseball, whether that means making personnel changes, whether that means tightening up the players we have here, it goes without saying that we have to do better."
What the Cubs front office is looking for is progress.
"The biggest thing for us, and this is Theo, me and everyone, we have to keep getting better," Hoyer said. "I think we have a better team this year than last year. We haven't played that way yet. We're building toward something."
He said the Reds are a good example of a team that is relying primarily on homegrown talent. That's what the Cubs want to do.
"You want to see progress," Hoyer said. "It's a black and white business — our report card is in the paper every day, and you have to look at it that way. Wins and losses, that's how we're measured. … I think that's part of why all of us are frustrated. We have played better than our record so far. As Bill Parcells said, 'You are what you are,' and we are 5-13, you can't deny that. Feeling we played better doesn't mean anything. We have to be better at converting these games to wins."
– Carrie Muskat
4/16 Theo: Can't play sloppy ball
It's only 12 games, but the Cubs aren't happy with the direction so far.
"It's been frustrating with the results," GM Jed Hoyer said. "The wins and losses, they are what they are, and that's our record, but given some of the production, we should have more wins than we do."
Cubs relievers entered Tuesday's game with a 5.82 ERA, which ranks 13th in the National League, while the starters rank fourth in the league with a 3.28 ERA.
"It's always bad when you can't close out games," Hoyer said. "If you want to look for a silver lining, we've been in a lot of games and we should've won more. If you're getting blown out night after night and don't have the talent to compete, I think it would be more frustrating. I think the way we've played is probably the most frustrating brand of baseball. There's nothing worse than winning a game for 2 hours 45 minutes and then losing. I think that starts to wear on a team. As the game goes, the most frustrating brand of baseball is winning for most of the night and losing in the end, and we need to stop that. Obviously, the bullpen needs to tighten up and the defense needs to tighten up, too."
The Cubs have been charged with 10 errors, third most in the Majors behind the Nationals (12) and Marlins (11).
"We're off to a slower start than we would've liked," said Theo Epstein, Cubs president of baseball operations. "[There's been] some sloppy play that we need to eradicate sooner rather than later. The bullpen is off to a slow start which can make for some tough losses.
"We're not that talented that we can get away with playing sloppy ball, so we need to fix that," Epstein said.
– Carrie Muskat
4/16 Pray for Boston
Theo Epstein's brother, Paul, was running in the Boston Marathon on Monday, and Theo was in a meeting when he heard about the bombings. Paul finished before the bombs exploded, and was safe. For Cubs GM Jed Hoyer, seeing the explosions on TV was horrific.
"The injuries and the loss of life is awful," Hoyer said. "If you live in Boston for any amount of time … [Patriot's Day] is kind of the best day in the city. The Red Sox game is in the morning, everyone has off work, everyone runs out of the Red Sox game and goes right to the race and watches the end of the race, and there's usually tons of parties and gatherings at night. It's a day that's unique to Boston, and unique to Massachusetts and everyone has a great time and lives it up. For the rest of the country, most cities don't have that one holiday that's unique to them."
Hoyer said he's hopeful Boston bounces back.
"Seeing the blood on the ground outside buildings that you walk past every day is hard," he said.
– Carrie Muskat
2/19 Garza update
An MRI showed Cubs pitcher Matt Garza has a mild lat strain on his left side, and he will be shut down for at least one week to make sure he's pain free. GM Jed Hoyer said the problem area is where Garza's lat and oblique meet.
"It's safe to say it pushes back his first CL start and what it means for the regular season, it's clearly much too early to say," Hoyer said. "We felt [the MRI results were] really good news. It is a mild strain and we do think it'll be about a week until he should be pain free based on the MRI.
"Matt's in good spirits and he felt much better yesterday," Hoyer said. "We're optimistic and it was certainly a positive read from our standpoint."
Garza, who was facing batters for the first time since July 21, ended what was supposed to be a 40-pitch session after 20 because of discomfort in his left side. He missed the latter part of last season with a right elbow injury.

Republican Senator John Ensign of Nevada said a couple of days ago that the US would have the best performance in terms of life-expectancy and health outcomes if we subtracted out the higher rate of violent death and accidents in the US compared to European countries.
A news clip I saw said that this claim is based on a study from awhile back, but I cannot find it, whatever it is or whoever did it. But in the mean time, we can look at some vital statistics to find out whether it is a reasonable claim.
First, let's look at overall mortality rates. This is directly relevant to life-expectancy because the life-expectancy rates that are published by vital statistics agencies are really a way of summarizing mortality rates in a given year. So, let's look at age and sex standardized mortality rates (per 100,000 population) for 22 high income countries, broken out by all causes, violent death and accidents (traffic accidents, falls, and assault), and non-violent causes (all cause mortality minus assault and accidents).
The countries are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and the United States. The data are for 2002, except 2001 for Canada and New Zealand. Mortality rates for Belgium are not included because it does not have enough recent data.
The average mortality rate in the US is 667, fourth highest among the 21 countries, behind the leader Denmark, and then Ireland and Portugal.
Now let's look at violent death and falls. The US is second highest in traffic accidents (behind Portugal), twelfth (or middle of pack) in accidental falls, and first in assault. Overall, the US is fourth in violent death and accidents at 26, behind (again) Denmark, Ireland and Portugal.
The US mortality rate from non-violent causes is 640 (one death per 100k population is lost due to rounding). The US is fourth highest behind (you guessed it) Denmark, Ireland and Portugal. Assault, falls and traffic accidents do not seem to make much difference in the standings. The reason is that assault and accidents in high income countries make up only a small fraction of total mortality. The proportion ranges from a low of 1.5% in the UK, to a high of 4.0% in Italy. The difference in mortality rates between the US and leaders in life expectancy such as Japan, Switzerland, and Australia is between 140 and 200 deaths per 100,000 population, which is large compared to the mortality rate due to assault and accidents.
Of course it could be that most of the violence and accidents in the US takes place at very young ages, and if these deaths do occur at unusually young ages in the US compared to other countries, that might lower the life-expectancy at birth due to other causes enough to produce the best performance of all. For that to happen, the effect of very youthful death due to violence and accidents in the US would have to overcome its very high perinatal and infant mortality compared to other countries, and I think that is doubtful.
But there is another way to look at the problem, and that is to look at life-expectancies later in life, say at age 40 and 65. I think that is reasonable. Most assault occurs at younger ages. The US is middle of the pack of high income countries in the rate of mortality due to falls. That leaves traffic accidents, but most of those occur at younger ages.
At age 40, the life expectancy in for women in the US is tied for next to last with Ireland among 22 other high income countries in 2002 with a life expectancy 41.4 years. Only Denmark was worse.
At age 40, the life expectancy in for men in the US was tied for 16 with the Netherlands among 22 other high income countries in 2002 with a life expectancy 37 years
At age 65, the life-expectancy for men in the US is only about average out of 22 other high income countries. For women it is below average, ranked 15 out of 22 other high income countries.
I do not think that the high mortality rate due to traffic accidents, falls, and assault can explain the poor life-expectancies in the US compared to most other high income countries.
If anyone knows what report said that the US healthcare system had the best performance if you took out assaults, falls, and traffic accidents, please let me know in the commments. I would be interested in how they got to that conclusion.

Review: Simian.Interface lands on iOS with its primate-stumping puzzles
Simian.interface has been around for a while as a browser-based Flash game created by Vested Interest. Thanks to some hard work by the developers at Bullseye Studio and the publishing prowess of Chillingo, the title is now available for iPhone and iPod touch owners.
Just like the web title, Simian.interface for iOS has you taking the role of a primate that is challenged to solve spatial puzzles. The interface has an 8-bit look and feel with a bleep-blop soundtrack to match. In the game, you start off by moving sets of squares so they fit into each other. As you progress, the patterns get more challenging to solve. Get your brain fired up as there are no hints or pointers to help you out. You will be confused and flounder at times, but that is part of the challenge!
Simian.interface is a perfect fit for the iPhone, and many people will be happy to see the title ported to the mobile platform. For those who are used to playing the game on the web with a mouse, the app has a touch control option that allows you move shapes with your fingers. There's also a tilt control that allows you to tilt your phone to move the shapes on the screen. The tilting adds a new dimension to the game and is my preferred mode of play.
My only critique of Simian.interface is that it is a short game. Don't expect hours and hours of gameplay. And once you've completed a puzzle, there's little replay value because the challenge to figure it out is gone. That being said, I think Simian.interface is worth the buck that it costs. It's a fun puzzler that'll fill your free moments with some unique challenges. My advice is to spread the puzzles out. Don't download the game and blow through all the puzzles in 30 minutes of frenzied play. Do a puzzle here and there and enjoy the challenges... one puzzle at a time.
You can download Simian.interface for US$0.99 from the iOS App Store. It's compatible with the iPhone or iPod touch running iOS 5.0 or later. There are no ads and no in-app purchases.

Two-year-old Steven Schwartz barely talked, and his word development was slower than that of other toddlers. It worried his parents, Steve and Krista Schwartz of Scottsdale, who at first thought he might have a hearing problem. "He stopped talking, and other children were," Steve Schwartz said.
The parents began a series of visits to doctors and specialists. One year later, Steven was diagnosed with autism — a neurological disorder that impairs a child's intuitive thought and social and language development centers.
The Schwartzes are one of many Valley families who found help and support through Southwest Autism Research and Resource Center in Phoenix. The nonprofit agency helps autistic children learn practical life skills, educates families about the disease, conducts research and collaborates with the
Translational Genomics Research Institute.
A charity golf tournament will help the center develop its new Campus for Exceptional Children in Phoenix. Exceptional Golf for Exceptional Children takes place Feb. 26 at Silverleaf Golf Course in north Scottsdale. The event's title sponsor, National Bank of Arizona, donated $20,000 toward the project, said center founder and president Denise Resnik.
The center will move from its current 6,000-square-foot facility at 1002 E. McDowell in Phoenix to the new building at 300 N. 18th St. early this summer.
The building will be redesigned to meet the needs of autistic children, including use of subdued colors and incandescent lighting, Resnik said.
The new campus will allow for a "cross-pollination" among researchers, children with autism and their families, Resnik said. It expands the center's space for programs, adds space for research, and provides a central location for work with Arizona State University and the genomics institute.

Esquire Network President Adam Stotsky's Office
Take a closer look at L.A. digs of the man in charge of Esquire on the airwaves
By Jonathan Evans
The New York Times Clipping
"This was the first formal announcement of the partnership between NBCUniversal and Hearst to create Esquire Network. It's something I'm incredibly proud of, and to have this landmark deal showcased in one of the seminal media columns in our industry… it's just great. Equally as important, the framed article was actually presented to me by one Katherine Nelson from my team for my birthday. A terrific present in one respect, but also a great reminder of the beginnings of what we believe will be a strong business in the form of Esquire Network."

In the summer of my junior year in high school, I attended a journalism course at Catholic University in Washington D.C. Having gone through 11 years of Catholic schooling, I pretty much knew what to expect. Had I been able to go to Jewish University, Hindu University or Shinto University, I would have been in for some surprises. After time, even the thickest of folk catch on to the customs. You figure, you're at a place named after a religion, it's a private university, it can do as it pleases, following that religion, its traditions and principles.
Ett, wrong! No, in this country of super-political correctness, you must still remove religious symbols in areas that might offend the human rights of - who else - the moslem students who attend the - are ya kiddin me? Catholic University!!!!
Come on. What do you expect? Do you really think that if I went to Islam University they'd get rid of the prayer rugs? How long before I'd be fitted for my berka? This absolutely has gone too far. The law school professor from George Washington University, Banzhaf has taken the political correctness thing to a new low.
Is it just me? Why would you go to a university if their religion is the main focus of its core? Especially if your religion is the polar opposite of that religion.
I would not attend Atheist University. That goes against everything I believe. I would not go to Moslem University, even on a full scholarship. So why, I have to ask again, WHY would anyone attend an intitution whose religion is etched in its name and on every sweat shirt in the campus book store?
Well, I'll tell you why: so they can protest, cause a commotion and boo hoo about their civil rights being violated.
My civil rights are viotated on a daily basis. Every day in the news I am treated to yet another religious symbol being torn down because some atheist with too much time on their hands took a ride and was offended by a cross at a cemetary. To you I say: "Stay the hell home!" Stop looking for trouble. Get some balls. Stop being offended by everything. It is not all about you you f'n moron.
I'm offended by all the offense. Learn to accept. Stop pushing your standards on all of us. How many Moslem soldiers lie in Arlington or Gettysburg? If there are more than 20 I will personlly lie an appropriate wreath on all of their graves.
This country has gone to the dogs with its fear of causing any of the "in" group to have little sad faces. (Or should I say cats? don't want to exclude) We are a helmeted, unlabeled group of sheep holding up tests marked in purple, which by the way, displeases me - ugly color. We are so up in arms over every last thing that we can't see the truth. We are no longer a world power and that is the real crisis here. We are shallowly crying about meaningless things only because we are fearful about our future or lack there of.
This weekend will find numerous Halloween Parties in full swing. Yet many find Halloween disturbing. What of that? I say we have costume parties year round as we hide behind the mask of political correctness. What will it reveal when the mask is gone?
Do you see the absurdity of you offering this bit of advice in screed such as you just wrote?
If not, perhaps you are part of the problem rather than a part of the solution.
or maybe it's part of the civil rights act: you can't exclude brown people anymore from restaurants, and you can't keep moslems out of catholic universities. once in, they demand equal treatment.
maybe you should re-think religion. there are some who think it should be a private concern, between you and god.
no pope, no vatican, and no religious schools.
their ideas are no better logically than yours, but have the better social advantage: they don't intrude, and they don't demand.

Long-Term Care Insurance Grows In Popularity
Posted 4/25/2011 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
With the aging of the baby boomer generation, long-term care insurance is experiencing a significant increase in popularity.
Those who cared for their elderly parents without assistance are seeing the value in what a policy can offer. But many questions surround the policies because so few people have first-hand experience with this evolving offering from the insurance industry.
Cost and coverage can be affected by everything from a person's age and gender to what kind of care he needs and what age he is when he purchases his policy. Several options are available for consumers looking to purchase long-term care, such as traditional long-term care policies or life insurance policies and annuities that offer long-term care benefits.
Dan Honey is the deputy commissioner of the life and health division of the Arkansas Insurance Department, and he has been following the surge of interest in long-term care policies.
"It's obvious with the aging of the population and baby boomers moving into senior citizenry that this is a product that has become more popular over the years," Honey said. "It is a relatively new product. It was really first developed in the '80s and '90s."
As with many new products, Honey said, at first, insurance companies were unsure how to package long-term care. "One thing that we have seen over the years and what has been a trend in long-term care is that, because it was a relatively new product back in the '90s, companies were not real sure how to price it. So we have had quite a few companies that underpriced their products, and they're starting to ask for a lot of rate increases."
Honey said that the trend of rate increases was related not only to actual market experience but also because people were living longer. "Companies have a better idea of what the lapse rates are and the mortality rates," he said. "People are living longer, and as people live longer, there are more people that are filing claims because they need the policy rather than people passing away."
More than 20 companies are certified to sell long-term care insurance in Arkansas, including State Farm Insurance, New York Life Insurance, John Hancock and Genworth Life Insurance, which have the largest market share.
Variables Complicate Pricing
Olin Wage, a senior vice president with Stephens Insurance of Little Rock, said that determining the cost of a policy could be difficult because so many variables are involved. "Some basic factors include the age, gender of the insured and their insurability," Wage said in an email to Arkansas Business. "Certain policy provisions and riders can influence premiums. There is not a 'One Size Fits All.'"
A study conducted by the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance found that the cost of comparable coverage can vary by as much as 40 percent from company to company.
A traditional long-term care policy, Wage said, can be designed so that premiums are paid in 10 years or over a lifetime. Most policies also offer a consumer the ability to designate a specific benefit period, such as three years, six years, 10 years or a lifetime.
A traditional life insurance policy that includes long-term care benefits is designed a little differently, so that long-term care benefits are a percentage of the death benefit. "For example," Wage said, "if the death benefit is $100,000 and a percentage of 4 percent is paid, the monthly benefit generated would be approximately $4,000 ($131.50 daily) over 50 months, equaling $200,000 in benefits."
Annuities allow consumers to choose benefit periods of three, six and nine years and are usually available for those aged 40 to 80.
Policies can vary, too, in what services they cover. Most cover the cost of home care as well as that of nursing care facilities. "Coverage is broad," Wage said. "Benefits can be paid for skilled services, home health aides and personal care attendants, homemaker services, chore services, hospice care and adult day care. Other benefits are also available, such as respite care, caregiver training, equipment and home modification and alternate care. Facility care can include assisted-care facilities, nursing homes and bed reservation benefits."
Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, said that there was a basic formula for determining how to buy.
"You look at how many dollars you want per day in care times how many days you want it," he said. "That becomes the multiplier to figure out how much money your initial pool of benefits is. Then you add a growth option. Your pool of money today grows into the future." For example, a 55-year-old person who wanted $150 a day in care for three years and chose a provision for inflation growth at 3 percent annually would have an initial benefit pool of $169,000. At age 70, the value of that person's protection would be $263,000.
Slome said that planning for the future could be deeply personal and difficult to confront, but he said it was important to get a head start. "Here is the thing that consumers don't know and that they need to know: You must look at this while you're healthy and can qualify. People are not aware of that."
The sweet spot, Slome said, is between ages 55 and 62. "If you plan later than that, there's a very good chance that you will not have qualified," he said. "Seventy percent of 80-year-olds that submit an application are denied."
Experience as Caregivers
Emily Sneddon, a partner at the Little Rock law firm of Mitchell Blackstock Ivers & Sneddon, said her experience as a caregiver for her parents influenced her decision to purchase a long-term care policy. In that way, she is typical.
"When I spoke with my insurance agent about purchasing long-term care insurance, he told me the majority of his clients who inquired about this were middle-aged people who had been caregivers for their elderly parents," Sneddon said.
Sneddon began shopping for long-term care by acquiring information from the Arkansas Insurance Department. "I decided I wanted to go with a company that wrote a whole lot of other insurance business," she said. "A company with a lot of assets, because when all the baby boomers start making claims on this policy, it's going to be huge. I wanted a company that had the assets to be able to pay this."
Sneddon purchased her policy from State Farm, where she also has other kinds of insurance.
After exploring the different kinds of provisions, such as inflation protection or a steady rate, Sneddon purchased a policy that will hold some value even if she stops paying for it, but can only be used for long-term care. "My thinking on this was, I'll go ahead and get this policy and pay on it while I'm working. It accrues a maximum worth of benefits. If I quit working, my income goes down and I quit paying for it, I'll still have a certain amount of money solely for long-term care. If I never need long-term care, then the money is gone."
Long-term care policies have a reputation as somewhat of a luxury item, and Sneddon said she thought it would be difficult for most people to afford long-term care insurance. Honey, however, thinks that they're aimed at a middle-class individual.
"If you're a low-income individual with very few assets, you would probably qualify for Medicaid if you needed long-term care," he said. "If you're a very wealthy individual you should be in a situation where you would be able to self-fund a situation where you would need long-term care. I think these are kind of a midrange type of product."
Honey cited his mother, a retired teacher, who purchased a long-term care insurance policy in her early 60s. A few years later her financial situation improved to the point where she decided to let her policy lapse and cover any long-term care needs that she might have out of her personal finances.
Slome said that while a person with little or no savings would have to depend on Medicaid, those with more income can make a personal choice. "If you have some savings, $150,000 to $200,000 or more, then you really need to look at some modest coverage," he said. Millionaires, on the other hand, can choose whether they want to purchase a policy or pay out of personal finances if the need arises.
"The thing I tell people," he said, "is that some coverage is better than no coverage. You should approach the purchase of long-term care insurance the same way you approach other insurance protection."

Will T-Mobile launch this beast as the Samsung Hercules or as the Galaxy S II?
Will T-Mobile launch this beast as the Samsung Hercules or as the Samsung Galaxy S II?
The Samsung Hercules is equipped with 16GB of internal ROM, 1GB of RAM and microSD memory can be expanded by as much as 32GB. According to a T-Mobile roadmap that we reported on, this monster could launch on September 26th. Whether or not it launches as the Samsung Hercules or the Samsung Galaxy S II is still unclear. As we had told you, the remaining three of the top four carriers in the country are expected to offer the Samsung Galaxy S II as the Verizon Function, the AT&T Attain and the Sprint Within.

I wonder if it will be as fast and smooth as the sgs2. I wonder if they are going to make this phone for verizon and sprint too. Poor AT&T the infuse doesn't look too great anymore.
7. frankied101 (Posts: 3; Member since: 08 Dec 2010)

This is not the same phone. GSII has a 4.3" screen and this "hercules" has a 4.5" screen.

Forget T-Mobile, I want this thing on Verizon! Oh, and don't forget LTE!

oh ew. a Qualcomm processor? what happened to the Exynos? is it not passing with the FCC or something?
11. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3042; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Hopefully it won't hinder the device.
6. remixfa (Posts: 14168; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
im hoping the exynos is a suprize. it hasnt passed FCC yet, so its still all speculation on the actual processor...
but why do they KEEP CALLING IT AN INFUSE ON STEROIDS?!?! the Infuse is a SINGLE CORE processor, this is a dual core. Call it the SGS2's brother if u want, but the only thing it has in common with the infuse is the slightly larger screen. Everything else screems SGS2.

You meant 850/1900 is for AT&T (not T-Mobile which is AWS 1700).
12. gaby1451 (Posts: 113; Member since: 30 Mar 2011)
What would really make this beast a Hercules is if it had a qHD resolution screen at 4.5in. Mmmm...
13. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
true dat!
15. Audelio13 (Posts: 15; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
Seems like this will replace my Captivate, until an LTE device comes out for at&t, until then I won't upgrade. :o

The Rated R songstress revealed to Hot 97's The Angie Martinez Show on Wednesday that she's received several offers to pose for Hugh Hefner's venerable skin magazine, and has turned them down every time.
The good news? Ri-Ri isn't opposed to getting naked for the camera—as long as it's done in the proper, respectful context:
"I got a few offers to do Playboy actually. They want to pay [me] to be naked on the cover. If I'm gonna take my clothes off, it has to be in a classy way and my will, not a check. I wouldn't take any money to do that."
Rihanna: Nudism with principles.
