HTC is bringing the EVO 3D soon. Motorola just showed us the Photon 4G. It's a great time to be a Sprint customer, isn't it? With two awesome phones in the pipeline, there probably isn't a bad choice between them. 4G, 3D, GSM, SMR -- heck, even the acronyms sound very cool. But most of us will have to make a choice, and that's where we come in. We've put it all together in one easy to read place so you can compare and discuss.
Hit the break, check it out, and start filling the forums with questions and chatter. We all have a tough choice to make now.
Photon 4G forums | EVO 3D forums
Nothing is quite as fun as HTML tables and CSS (ha!) so we've prepared a little chart based on what we know so far about each. Could things change? Yes, especially with the Photon. Once we see some FCC docs or reports from corporate ninjas who know how to use the command line, we'll know more. Having said that, the specs on the EVO 3D should be spot on since it's been kicking around for a bit.
Have a look:
Features: | HTC EVO 3D | Motorola Photon 4G |
Network | 3G CDMA EVDO rev.A, 4G Wimax 2500 SMR support | 3G CDMA EVDO rev.A 4G Wimax 2500 GSM support |
Wifi | 802.11 b/g/n | 802.11 b/g/n |
Bluetooth | 3.0 | 2.1 |
GPS | Network assisted AGPS | Network assisted AGPS |
FM Radio | yes | unknown |
Dimensions | 66mm x 127mm x 12.2 mm | 66.9mm x 126.9mm x 12.2mm |
Weight | 170 g | 158 g |
Display | 4.3 inch TFT LCD capacitive glasses free 3D | 4.3 inch LCD capacitive |
Resolution | qHD 540x960 | qHD 540x960 |
Camera (rear) | dual 5 MP for 3D | 8 MP |
Camera (front) | 1.3 MP | VGA |
Video capture | 1080p HD (2D) 720p HD (3D) | 720p HD |
Video out | MHL A/V link | HDMI |
Operating System | Android 2.3, HTC Sense | Android 2.3, MotoBlur |
CPU | Qualcomm MSM8660 1.2 GHz, dual-core | Nvidia Tegra 2 1 GHZ, dual-core |
GPU | Adreno 220 | Nvidia GeForce |
ROM and Storage | 4 GB | 16 GB |
Battery size | 1730 mAh | 1700 mAh |
Talk time | CDMA up to 7.5 hrs | CDMA up to 10 hrs GSM up to 10.4 hrs |
Standby time | up to 355 hrs | unknown |
A couple of my own observations:
- SMR (Sprint's restructuring of the Nextel frequencies) should be ready to actually do something late this year. It's possible we will see a push-to-talk solution for phones that support it, like the EVO 3D. No word on any SMR support for the Photon, but world capabilities will trump PTT for most folks.
- Bluetooth has been a pain for Android since, well since forever. Having Bluetooth 3.0 support on the EVO 3D could be a deciding factor for folks who have trouble connecting Android phones to their car stereo.
- They both look about the same size and weight. You won't notice .5 mm in your hands.
- Even if you don't give a hoot about 3D, there's still the question of the Photon having a PenTile matrix display or not. Let's hope not.
- Cameras are a wash until we see pictures and video from each. 1080p doesn't mean much if it's jittery and blurry. If the camera is going to be your deciding factor, wait for the reviews.
- The Adreno 220 outperforms the Nvidia GeForce on paper. Nvidia supports developers of 3D games like no other. I give the edge to the Photon here, just because there will be (and already are) Tegra optimized games. And they rock.
- 16 GB storage on the Photon, 4 on the EVO 3D. Hello HTC, step that up will ya?
- We don't know for sure that the EVO 3D doesn't have DDR2 RAM. We do know that Sprint and Motorola made sure that everyone knew the Photon does.
There you have it, you need to have a look and see if there's anything here that stands out for your needs. To me, neither of these phones is remarkably better than the other -- in a good way. Both look like real winners and would be an excellent choice for any Android fan.

Here's a quick look at how the Mahindra E2O electric car is made at the revolutionary Mahindra Reva facility in Bengaluru, Karnataka.
The building is designed to provide natural light through the day in a structure that is extremely spacious on the inside despite housing not just the assembly lines, but the administration offices and test areas as well.
The assembly process itself is revolutionary too. The chassis comes pre-assembled from vendors in a form that looks much like the roll cage in a modern-day rally car.
The first parts to go onto the car are the front McPherson Struts and the double trailing arm rear suspension.
The body panels are no oridinary pieces of plastic. These are made of multi-layer composites impregnated with the body colour. That essentially means that the regular paintshop is entirely eliminated and along with it, the need of chemicals and power requirements to run paint booths.
The battery pack which is the heart of the e2o.
Worker testing the electricals before they are fixed in the car.
Battery pack along with other electricals is installed in the e2o.
Once all the body panels, electricals and batteries are fixed workers start fitting the interiors.
Workers give final touches to the e2o before it rolls off the assembly line.
The projector beam headlights are adjusted and then the e2o goes through a leak test in a special chamber that sprays it with water from above, side and bottom – to make sure there are no leaks getting in through the underbody and to the electronics. A quick body inspection later, the Mahindra e2o is ready for delivery!

Mixed segmentation–detection-based technique for point target detection in nonhomogeneous sky
Applied Optics, Vol. 49, Issue 9, pp. 1518-1527 (2010)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1400 KB)
This paper deals with point target detection in infrared images of the sky for which there are local variations of the gray level mean value. We show that considering a simple image model with the gray level mean value varying as a linear or a quadratic function of the pixel coordinates can improve mixed segmentation–detection performance in comparison to homogeneous model-based approaches.

This one makes certain that there is no doubt that these are MILFs - in fact, some could easily be Grand MILFS as their days of being carded are a distant memory.
That isn't to say that gals like Cara Lott, whose longevity in the biz is to be commended, is over the hill. Rather, Lott's lot in porn life is firmly entrenched as evidenced by her cock-handling ability and energy.
Another connecting factor is that they are all quite busty and very oral and not afraid to show a few wrinkles while getting rammed by their man. Good stuff from a good mature series.
Pre-nom for Best Specialty Release - MILF.
Retailing: Couples fare with busty older women doing much younger fellas. Should do very well.

Drowningman seems like the type of band perfect for any follower of heavy music that finds most tech hardcore/metal bands a bit too brutal. Similar to the technique used by sure followers All Else Failed, incorporated by Drowningman into their sound are well-integrated, more emotional segues. While there are countless metal(core) outfits relying on cheesy melodic singing and abruptly sugary choruses to either ensure hooks or provide a changeup from full-throttle screaming, the Vermont-based five-piece is wholly different. This is likely due to the fact that the band's normal vocal delivery is an anguished, throaty yell, while the same singer handles the more affected moments without whimpering or breaking into artificial tears. It's a fluid, well-connected display of pacing and interchanging heaviness on the band's newest full-length, their Thorp debut Don't Push Us When We're Hot.

The Panic! in the disco review has some monkeys fighting over a bannana. I love being cynical. Oh, and I just thought I'd point out... Its been a while since I heard some weird ass much talk about how this is PUNKnews and not Metal or Hardcore news. I miss them. It was like watching Monkeys fight over the last banana. This is really really good. hey Brian has always written good reviews, have you seen the Cave In review "Perfect Pitch Black"? exellent. I can hardly remember the days when I faintly liked Drowning Pool over Drowningman...what a lost lil boy I was. i just have to say that the thought (havent heard it yet) of some girl saying you'll shut the fuck up is really really hot. 23 everyone wants to pretend they are an expert. "So you guys bitch when someone with a vehement bias reviews a longtime favorite and gives it an automatic 5 stars, but when someone approaches a band completely free of a previous slant you still complain. Come now.." Brian liiikes hardcore, nanananananana. look at old man Brians eye twitching... Hah! Brian's finally cracking! How about a reviewer that has actually heard the previous Drowningman albums??? Your review is pretty good for this. But they were around before DEP, so...they've been kind of doing the same thing for a while. But, I'll pick this up when I go to Best Buy. How about a reviewer that has actually heard the previous Drowningman albums??? I want to like this, but the production on it is horrible. I mean, I've never heard such a flat recording. Does the nu metal thing seem like a really bad dream to anyone else? Like it didn't really happen? That MP3 is OK. i need to give this a few more listens, but thus far i'm underwhlemed. i'm a big fan of their older stuff, particularly how they light ciggaretes in prison and rock & roll killing machine, but simon's voice sounds really off here and the music isn't nearly as inventive or engaging. I heard a couple of songs from this album. And while they may not be as great as Rock And Roll Killing Machine or their last EP Still Loves You, it still sounds decent enough for me to check out their latest full length. While D-Man isn't really D-Man, Simon Brody can still rock it. In response to the mall-metal inquiry - i know you fuckers are going to make fun of me for this This came out??? Oooo shit Nice song name "White people are stupid". |

minion | Sorry, I couldn't find anything in the database for ``telent-date''. |
csimon | minion: tell csimon about lisp |
minion | csimon: have a look at lisp: "Lisp in Small Pieces". This book covers Lisp, Scheme and other related dialects, their interpretation, semantics and compilation. To sum it up in a few figures: 500 pages, 11 chapters, 11 interpreters and 2 compilers. <http://www-spi.lip6.fr/~queinnec/WWW/LiSP.html> |
luis | csimon: ? minion: tell drifter747 about net-telent-date |

Zhivago | (quote (quote nil)) |
myrkraverk | as in, (cons 'quote (cons 'quote nil)) ? |
kpreid | No. |
myrkraverk | oh? |
kpreid | 1. These two S-expressions are equivalent: ''() (quote (quote nil)) 2. What the reader *does* when it reads "''()" is roughtly (list 'quote (list 'quote 'nil)) |
myrkraverk | hmm, ok |
drifter747 | thxs luis. not quite what i was hoping for but it might help a bit i had hoped for something that would help with something like 16:40 + 75min = 17:55 etc. trying to learn lisp while doing something practical i need with it. and that involves generating a bunch of start/stop times with random durations. |

rahul | hah Astro: #emacs. |
Zhivago | are you familiar with encode-universe-time? er, universal |
kpreid | adding offsets to a decoded time wouldn't work in the edge cases (DST, etc) |
Zhivago | well, you add to the encoded time as an integer so you should be able to encode the local time, encode a time offset from epoch, add them, then decode universal-time might not be quite what he wants -- but it might be a start. |
kpreid | oh, I was misremembering |

rudi | luis: yes, and for the same reasons as sbcl does, iiuc the argument pro utf-16 seems to be "everyone else does it, it's cheaper to call out to foreign libraries, and it saves space" two of them are utterly bogus, and gary just demolished the third one |
lemonodor | well it probably will save space, right? but yeah, the library thing seems bogus. |
rudi | lemonodor: on 64 bit no, on 32 bit a little - gbyers did the unfair thing of estimating implementation effort and measuring typical strings in a running image :) |

Results 1 to 21 of 21
So I was recently on a two week family holiday and usedmy 1020 as my main camera (both for photos and video) and took over 2000photos.
Here are some issues I run into.
1. Copying Photos
First off I had to move over 30gb of photos and videos over to my Surface Pro, over 3 copy sessions during the holiday (about 10gbeach time, as I did not want to run completely out of space on my phone) whichof itself would not be a big issue, but the copying was painfully slow eachtime taking well over an hour and needing me to plug in my Surface on two of thoseoccasions.
The Surface Pro has a great fast USB 3.0 port butcombined with the very slow USB 2.0 on the Lumia 1020 and the large amount offiles being copied and you start tearing you hair out as to why Nokia did notput in a microUSB 3.0 on the phone (even if for full support you had to waitfor WP8.1 update?).
2. Nokia Camera Apps
Second big issue I run into is with the great NokiaCamera apps, i.e. the Pro Cam App and the Smart Cam App.
Both these apps have a serious flaw; that being theirinability to save edited photos to the camera roll. i.e. in the Pro Cam App youcan't save multiple zoom ins from the same photo as it always overwrites theoriginal 5mp image.
The Smart Cam App has the same problem always overwritingthe original photo without the ability to save the new 'version' to the cameraroll. You are only able to email/upload/share the new edited photos, but unableto save multiple versions to the camera roll.
This is a serious deficiency in both these apps and makesthese great features useless when you don't have a data connection to upload oremail yourself the edited images.
3. Now on a positive note. (Camera Grip)
The Nokia camera grip is the best accessory you can buyfor the 1020. During the two weeks (part of which were camping nights) it nevercame off and added valuable shooting time without which the phone would be deadby lunch on some days.
I still occasionally had to plug the phone into a carcharger during a heavy photo/video days, but on most days it lasted into theevening.
The grip is also invaluable when it comes to one handshooting or just for holding the phone in one hand while walking between siteson a trail or in the city.
Since I came back the grip is still on my 1020 and itwill probably stay on, apart from the added battery it provides a great tablestand and with the Nokia Glance Screen serves as a nice desk clock when at homeor work.
That is it. I could go into the great photo and surprisinglybrilliant video quality the 1020 has, but that has been covered to deathalready and this post has been long enough. -
My opinions on your issues
1. How deeply hurt and bald are you :P .. I don't know what your tolerance is, but on my pc I get around 10MBps copy speed from my device. So going by your 10GB it should take 15 minutes. I wouldn't tear my hair out, instead just play a small game until the copying is done for that. Maybe it is a localized issue with your surface pro and 1020.
2. So you have a problem with losing pictures, this makes no sense to me because the original picture is still there. If you are so irritated by it replacing your photos make sure next time you take 3 to 4 snaps of each as you would do with other camera phones and save 50GB instead of 30GB. This is your option to get over the frustration of losing the area so carefully zoomed into.
I think I hate reading long posts, my replies reflect my angst and all my reactions are solely based on my experience with a 920. - 08-26-2013, 04:56 PM #3
@crash1989 very constructive dude...
Bad taste. Bad post. If you don't like long posts just don't reply!
This is interesting and good to know. I have amber on my 920 and haven't bothered to look at edited photos. That's a bummer to learn that it's not in your camera roll. AND unable to save multiple versions to the camera roll. How unuseful is that. - 08-26-2013, 07:11 PM #5
1. I have no problems saving my pictures to my computer and it does not take very long not sure why it is taking so long for you.
2. I had to adjust to the way the camera works too. I'm sure at some point Nokia will release an update that lets you save different zooms instead of
over writing all the time. That being said you can just up load the large photo and save the different zoomed images once you get home. - 08-26-2013, 07:23 PM #6
Hey guess what - one of your problems is solved.. sort of.
Turns out when your phone is plugged into your pc, open it up in File Explorer.
You can transfer any photo from any location - including your pc into the camera roll folder!
I just tried it :) - 08-26-2013, 08:26 PM #7
That is not the issue; the issue is that the Nokia camera apps do not enable multiple saves from the one original Pro Cam or Smart Cam photo. You can only over-write the previous one, i.e. you can only save one zoomed in photo to camera roll; same for smart cam you can only have one version of the smart photo saved in your camera roll.
To save different versions of e.g. smart cam photos you either need to upload them or copy them to PC and then change them again on the phone.... - 08-26-2013, 08:31 PM #8
upload your pic to skydrive first, than edit your pic, so you still have the original one.....
I was surprised by the very slow copy speed, it may be that is was because I had only about 30GB of space left on my Surface; I heard that SSD performance is affected when you are running low on free space.
I will have to look into this a bit more to see what causes the slow down.
But regardless microUSB 3.0 on Phones would not hurt, especially on phones like the 1020 where you are moving lot of 10mb+ photos around. I don't know why Phone OEMs are still using the outdated USB 2.0 standard. - 08-26-2013, 08:33 PM #10
That only works if you have unlimited data connection or are close to a wifi. If you are hiking/driving/staying in a national park where there is often no signal then neither of those are an option. And once you get back home you just can't be bothered to go back and re-edit tens or even hundreds of photos.
I don't know why it's so slow unless you're doing USB to SD card. I transfer about 10GB in 15mins as others have stated on my Surface Pro.
As for #2 on the list, I agree. I want to save each reframe as a separate image too. Not deal breaker, but it'd be nice. - 08-26-2013, 08:54 PM #12
@GoodThings2Life interestingly enough, once I got back the speed from Surface (SSD) to my external USB 3.0 HDD was an average 80mb/s. So it was an issue between the Lumia 1020 and Surface Pro.
Damn you take a lot of pictures
Not an ideal fix, but you can take a 5mp image you want to save, open it in creative studio real quick. Perform no changes to it and save it to your saved pictures folder. Then back out to the original 5mp, open it pro cam and recrop again to get another image. Each time using creative to save the new one..
@John20212 and @GoodThings2Life I use Thumba Photo Editor when I want to save multiple images from a single photo. It doesn't over write the original and saves the new image to your Saved Photo folder. It is also a great photo editing app all around. It's a definite $0.99 purchase.
I have the same concerns as the OP about my 1020 and my Surface Pro. I can't for the life of me understand why multiple zoomed shots can't be made and saved from the HiRes original. Storage space can't be an issue because even the 32 GB 1020 seems to have space for at least a thousand pics at a time, and who takes more than 1000 pics in a day? A second issue for me is: Why can't I re load one of my own HiRes pics and re zoom or edit it in Pro Camera. Pro Camera uses smart pixels or something to make a better zoomed picture. This is said to be a better zoomed picture than a simple zoom in picture. If this is so, why can't Nokia make a software editing app that would allow later smart pixel zooming after the picture is off the original camera roll? Nokia has the goal of quick and easy and beautiful picture taking with all of its cameras and apps. Right?
@jeffskent, just to add to what you mentioned,
It would be great if Nokia made a Windows desktop app (or modern for win 8) for managing and editing Pro Cam and Smart Cam photos on the PC and not just on the Phone.
edit: anyone know best way to forward these suggestions directly to Nokia? - 08-28-2013, 06:25 PM #21
I've never had that problem when cropping different parts of an image. The quality looks the same on the cropped images from both Thumba and Creative Studio.
Update: I cropped an image with Pro Cam, Creative Studio & Thumba and all three cropped image sizes were within a couple kilo bytes.Last edited by peacock93; 08-29-2013 at 07:42 AM.

In Reply to: dr. praegers veggie burgers posted by ana on October 10, 2008 at 4:11 pm:
>>are dr. praegers frozen veggie burgers healthy or unhealthy. There are several varieties of his veggie burgers so we would have to look at each one. I will evaluate one of them here for you, the regular California Burger Per Burger This is 36% fat which is almost double what I would recommend. It is also over 2x the sodium I would recommend. The Ingredients: I am not a fan or the added oil, soy flour, arrowroot, corn meal, corn starch, all products/items I recommend to restrict of avoid. So, I do not think this is the best choice for a veggie burger. Dr Praeger was also caught lying about his products, its ingredients and his attempts to correct this situation. As a result, the AHA removed their seal from his products. Click on the link below and then click on Video: Low Fat Food? >>also what about organic soymilk also. Again, there are so many varieties of soy milk, with so many nutritional profiles, you would have to look at the different ones. However, I do not think of soymilk as a "food" but at best, as a condiment. Same with soy. You may want to scroll down in the forum and read some of the posts on soy and soymilk. So, if used, you would want to find the one that had the best nutritional profile and even then, it should be very limited at best. >>also, why do raw foodists say that anything frozen and then heated, cooked is unhealthy, toxic, lacking vital nutrients as I know people who have eaten 90% heated, cooked food all their lives and they live into their nineties healthy still Well, I agree with you. The Chinese & Japanese Centenarians, along with many, if not most all other centenarians, who live to over 100, and some over 110, in fairly good health, live on diets that are mostly cooked. Go figure. :) In Health

Floating island (dessert)
Floating island | |
Alternative names | |
Course | Dessert |
Place of origin | France |
Main ingredients | meringue (egg whites, sugar and vanilla extract), crème anglaise (egg yolks, vanilla, milk) |
Cookbook:Floating island Floating island |
A floating island is a European dessert of French origin, a dessert consisting of meringue floating on crème anglaise (a vanilla custard). The meringues are prepared from whipped egg whites, sugar and vanilla extract then quickly poached. The crème anglaise is prepared with the egg yolks, vanilla, and hot milk, briefly cooked.
There is some confusion about the name. In French cuisine, the terms œufs à la neige ("eggs in snow") and île flottante (floating island) are sometimes used interchangeably; the latter is the source of the English name. The difference between the two dishes is that île flottante sometimes contains islands made of "alternate layers of alcohol-soaked dessert biscuits and jam."[1]
Floating island is made of egg whites served floating on a milky custard sauce. Some variations use a thicker sauce, served on top of the dumplings, but usually the milk mix is thin, almost liquid, and the dumplings "float" on top.
The egg whites are beaten with sugar and poured into a mould lined with a thin layer of caramel.[2] Alternately, the whites can be shaped with spoons and allowed to cook gently in sweetened milk with vanilla flavoring. A custard is made using milk, sugar, vanilla, and egg yolks; the mix is cooked in a bain-marie for a few minutes, but must remain thin enough to pour. The custard is topped with the egg whites dumplings. The dish is served at room temperature or cold.

SAN JOSE (AP) - Firefighters have contained a massive early morning 5-alarm blaze at a vacant warehouse near Highway 101 in San Jose.
Dozens of firefighters were expected to remain on the scene for hours pouring water on the fire that was reported shortly after 5:30 a.m. Thursday at the warehouse that once occupied several businesses in a mostly industrial area.
No injuries have been reported.
Fire officials say fire is believed to have started at the north end as the roof partially collapsed while crews were preventing the blaze from spreading.
The California Highway Patrol has also reopened a stretch of Highway 101 near Julian Street as crews now have the fire under control.
But, two schools nearby have cancelled classes and will be closed for the day because of the fire.

LAST year, Zimbabwe became the first country to run out of its own currency. Despite triple-digit inflation, President Robert Mugabe forbade the printing of high-denomination banknotes, as he apparently believed that this would cause inflation. The problem was solved when someone persuaded him that if the central bank issued high-denomination bits of paper called "bearer cheques", with an expiry date, this was somehow different from printing money. Zimbabweans now buy their groceries with bearer cheques.
A Zimbabwean central banker needs unusual skills. Not only must he steer the monetary ship through perhaps the choppiest economy on earth; he must also cope with a captain whose instinct is to head blithely for the rocks. As it happens, Mr Mugabe has appointed as governor of Zimbabwe's Reserve Bank a man who understands both economics and how to handle an ageing despot.
Since he took over in December, Gideon Gono, a former commercial banker, has brought inflation down from over 600% to a mere 450%. He did this by clamping down on the wholesale looting that emptied the national coffers last year—for example, when politicians took advantage of a loopy official exchange rate to buy hard currency at giveaway prices and spent their windfall profits on mansions in South Africa. A measure of sanity has returned to the forex market, and Zimbabwe now enjoys what passes here for macroeconomic stability.
Buoyed by this success, Mr Gono has accumulated vast powers, including that of determining who gets credit. Ordinary banks have to deposit half their assets with the central bank, at zero interest, as a statutory reserve. However, they can retrieve this cash and lend it to companies the Reserve Bank deems "productive", at a knock-down 50% interest rate: in other words, super-cheap money for approved borrowers. To say that this system is open to abuse is like saying that recent elections in Zimbabwe could have been a bit fairer.
Of course, the regime's domestic debts remain far more than it can repay. If inflation falls further, the real burden will grow. Mr Mugabe has escaped default before by stealing the accumulated savings of Zimbabweans who work. But those savings are mostly gone, as are the people who earned them.

Knut Cobain: Berlin Struggles to Memorialize Star Bear
Thomas Ziolko heads a committee charged with selecting an official monument for Knut, the star bear at the Berlin Zoo that died in March after rocketing to worldwide fame. But it's a thankless task, he finds, a one that does injustice to animals not born cute and with a dramatic story.
Thomas Ziolko studies the photographs, drawings and plaster models arrayed on the table in front of him. There's a languid creature rolling around on its back atop a gravestone, a bear with a toilet brush in its jaws and what appears to be a pile of fur with a lopsided grin on a pedestal. Ziolko looks somewhat at a loss.
When asked about the submissions, Ziolko gives an ambivalent, "Yeah, the designs."
One 66-year-old retiree sent a photograph of an oil painting he did himself, adding the comment, "I have attended several painting courses at a community college." One sculptor suggested 15,000 ($20,000) was too small a budget for the statue -- his design would cost 45,000, plus tax. Just a few days ago, another artist rolled his enormously heavy submission right into Ziolko's office: a Knut made entirely of welding rods. When Ziolko took a closer look at the sculpture, he discovered the shapes of a nose, two eyes and a mouth worked into Knut's upper left leg. It was the face of Thomas Dörflein, Knut's keeper, the artist explained. But Ziolko suspects it's more likely the face of the artist.
Three Memorials, One Bear
Ziolko, 39, studied business and says he's by no means looking to become an amateur zoologist, even if his desk does happen to be located in an administrative building in the city district of Friedrichsfelde, just behind the Tierpark. He wears a pinstripe suit, not a zookeeper's overalls, and works as a fundraiser and something like a lobbyist on behalf of the city's zoos.
The proposed designs for Knut's memorial are laid out on a table between the mailroom and the employees' kitchen. Ziolko knows how high expectations are for the statue. Knut's untimely death only served to make the young polar bear even more popular. It's the Jim Morrison effect, Knut as Cobain.
Many of Knut's fans feel the memorial has taken too long. A marble plaque with an imprint of a bear's paw already adorns Dörflein's grave, honoring the zookeeper who raised Knut by hand after the bear's mother rejected him. Meanwhile, the city's natural history museum is interested in taxidermically preserving Knut's hide and putting it on display. Indeed, it appears Berlin will soon have not one but three Knut memorials, which Ziolko finds excessive.
Animals with Stories
At the moment, Ziolko's behind the wheel of his organization's van, driving through the Tierpark. Riding along in the backseat is Olaf Lange, who studied public management and works for the same organization. Lange is wearing a burgundy-colored two-piece suit, and both men peer out through the vehicle's windows. There's no place less glamorous than a zoo in the December rain. The view out the window alternates between mud, bare trees, a peacock, zookeepers in overalls, a freezing flamingo and more mud.
Ziolko pulls up in front of an enclosure. A polar bear roughly the color of dried tobacco is lying on the rock inside. This bear is more like Meat Loaf, the aging hard-rock musician, than Jim Morrison, too old to die young. Ziolko explains that, to be famous, an animal needs some kind of story. Bobby the Gorilla, the ape from the jungle, was Berlin's first animal star well before World War II. Knautschke, a hippopotamus, achieved fame in the 1950s for having survived the war. Heidi, the opossum from Leipzig whose crossed eyes skyrocketed her to stardom, evoked viewers' sympathy.
When it comes to Knut, you can sum up his story like this: Adorable baby bear is rejected by his mother, media reports claim there is a proposal to put him to sleep, the public catches wind of the alleged plan, a city is outraged, the adorable baby bear is saved.
Asked to describe Knut's personality, Ziolko says, "I didn't have direct contact with the animal." But he sees in Knut a symbol for the conservation of biodiversity and an ambassador for climate protection. That's the part he prefers; that's what he calls "Knut's true significance."
As he got older, Knut grew difficult. He liked snacking on croissants and was a complicated charge in other ways, as well. He started taking an interest in female polar bears and liked to roll around in the sand, which wasn't good for his fur. Knut couldn't care less what people thought of him. He just grew wilder -- and more spoiled.
The Tragedy of Being Born Cute
Thomas Ziolko steers the van past a group of moose and says he's critical of all the Knut hype. There are gummy bear Knuts and porcelain Knuts, Knuts on stamps and Knuts on bankcards. Journalist Tom Kummer published an "interview" with the polar bear and there are several Knut films, as well as German pop singer Frank Zander's song "Hier kommt Knut" ("Here Comes Knut").
On March 19, 2011, Knut collapsed in his enclosure's pool and drowned at the age of four. Pathology experts claim he had a seizure caused by encephalitis. His death brought an end to his career like that of so many stars who had rocketed to fame too young. It was a traumatic day for the polar bear's fans. Someone even suggested placing Knut's heart on an ice floe in the arctic as a sign that he would not be forgotten.
Ziolko parks the van. He and the Berlin Zoo will choose the winning design together. But he can already name a few that won't win.

"I built this place. Down here, I make the rules."
Let's elaborate a bit:
AVERTISSEMENT : selon mon expérience, ce qui suit ne s'applique pas à 99% de mes lecteurs. Malheureusement, l'expérience prouve aussi qu'il faut que cela soit écrit pour le pourcentage restant.

I just love the democratic process. 57% of voters rejected minarets. Now you have a bunch of people saying "it's a shame". If you ask me, it's better for the Swiss to BE democratic rather than appear tolerant. Tolerance isn't a good value as such. |

This wailing and gnashing of teeth over the unfairness and bigotry of it all is ridiculous. Religious freedom? There isn't a place I can think of where that is the case—there are more tolerant societies than others, true, but most draw the line with how far a person can practice freedom of religion when said practice infringes upon the rights of others to do the same and/or endangers the safety of others, or endangers the laws of the land (that's the reason why Santeria practioners will run the risk of a crack down for animal sacrifice and why pagans can't "get back to their roots" with snuffing out a few of their fellow humans on certain dates of the calendar). If Islam ever decides to rein in their fire and brimstone breathers and fix this nasty little problem of extreme intolerance (there are some other issues, but that would be a good place to start imho), then Muslims might find people more accepting of their presence—as it stands, not only has this not happened, the hounds have been let loose to do as much intimidating as possible, while they hide behind the victim role while seeking every advantage to play the system. Is it any wonder that people start to sicken of this? wonderful post |

About this paragraph: "Swiss Muslims as well as most of their western world brothers and sisters, are currently in Meccan Cuddly Fluffy Surah Mode (with unicorns and rainbows thrown in). If you know the differences between the Koran's Meccan and Medinan verses, and the historical and strategic rationale behind them, you get my meaning. If you don't, look it up because that's a bit beyond the scope of this humble post and I'm already far too easily dispersed as it is, okay?" Please read Modern Day Trojan Horse: Al-Hijra, The Islamic Doctrine of Immigration, Accepting Freedom or Imposing Islam? by Sam Solomon and E Al Maqdisi. It outlines the strategy completely and is one of the best books I've read all year. |

Another remarkably well-stated tretise by our French brother in arms! Your talents are under-appreciated and wasted in your home country, Diss. Wish you were in the US to help us throw back the commie hoards - but I imagine you are trying to help save France right now. "Freedom of Religion" does not give one the right to (as you point out) fly planes into buildings, nor does it give one the option of dismissing the laws and customs of the country you are a GUEST in. Have a problem with that? GO HOME! BTW we've missed you, Diss. I trust, and pray, all is well with you. |

I second Bruce, "Another remarkably well-stated tretise by our French brother in arms! Your talents are under-appreciated and wasted in your home country, Diss. Wish you were in the US to help us throw back the commie hoards" At least now the Swiss have a chance to live up to their flag. |
Pat Paterson | 5 years, 4 months ago | |
This would have to be the only example of religious intolerance in human history where the shape of the house of worship interfered with freedom of religion. Maybe the Swiss are on to something and they can pass a law that decrees that from now on mosques must resemble the floating pig from a Pink Flord concert. That'll show 'em! |

Information Centre of the Štěchovice Hydro Power Station
Basic Information
New: Virtual tour! The Štěchovice Hydro Power Station was built between 1938 and 1947. The concrete dam with granite revetment is 22.5 m high and 120 m long. This waterworks includes a lock chamber, which overcomes the difference of 19.10 m between the lower and upper water levels and is unique in Europe, and also the reservoir of the pumped-storage power station Homole with a total capacity of 0.5 million m3, and two steel penstock shafts of 1.7 to 2 m diameter and length 590 m. The medium-head part of the power station with 2 Kaplan turbines with total installed capacity of 22.5 MW (2x11.25 MW) was commissioned in 1944. The pumped-storage power station was initially built between 1941 and 1947. After many years of intensive exploitation, it was shut down in 1991 and reconstructed between 1991 and 1996. Instead of two sets arranged in three stages of total capacity of 42 MW it is now equipped with a single set of a reversing Francis turbine and a motor generator. The set is installed in an underground generator room built in a pit which is approximately 45 m high. The power station includes also two outdoor switching stations, 110 kV and 22 kV. Both parts of the power station are fully automatic and are controlled remotely from the Control Room of the Vltava Cascade. When you visit the power station, you will be taken at first to see the Information Centre.
Stroll through the Štěchovice hydro power plant!
What you can look forward to see?
- Information boards with information about the beauty of the surrounding nature
- Interesting and unique photographs documenting the history of building the power station
- Information boards cross-sections of the key units of the technological equipment
- An interesting 20 minute film about hydro power stations, how they work, about turbines, etc.
A visit to the Information Centre includes also a tour of the power station.

Camelot Inn & Hostel
Real Reviews
Real reviews from fellow travellers
These are trusted reviews from guests who have actually stayed here. We hope you find them helpful.
Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
" Its incredibly clean, right next to trax line, nice and quiet, user friendly kitchen and generally a very nice place to stay. Oh and i like that the manager provides feedback on reviews. However three issues come to mind. One is that it needs a proper lounge area. Two is that i would prefer a staff member there, always better in person than on the phone for me. Also if the reason for no staff is money saving, i have stayed in similar hostels, for same or less that have 24/7 staff. "
==STAFF== We have a friendly housekeeping staff on site in the mornings, and we are in the process of hiring an office aide to be there regularly to assist guests. We are always available by phone, text, or email to answer any questions. ==SECURITY== All of our travelers in the property have been approved to stay. If a guest isn't safe to have in our hostel, then we do not allow them to book. ==PHONE== We apologize for that inconvenience. The property phone is now working.

- " I never saw anyone working there, but I never needed to talk to someone as the check-in/check-out process was automated. It was a happy-feeling place, everything in good shape. However the walls are a bit thin so early-risers woke me up one or two mornings with their animated conversations despite quiet hours before 8 a.m. "
- 03 Mar 2015 Anonymous USA
" I thought it was a bit strange that there was no host there to greet the guests. It made the place feel less cared-for, and even a little bit less safe.
I appreciate the computerized check-in because it allowed me to arrive at the hostel late at night, but I wish there could have been someone at the hostel throughout the day at least...
I received a single room with just one bed, for the normal price, which is why i said that the "value for money" was "excellent" and the facilities were good "
==STAFF== We have a friendly housekeeping staff on site during the morning, and the management is always available by phone to help with anything. We are also in the process of hiring an office aide to be there weekday mornings. Fewer staff means that guests save money. ==SAFETY== We have security cameras and codes to get into the building. Most guests feel very secure. ==TESTIMONIALS== ...Very safe area, and the building is secure. Joey S. England, UK

" Cute hostel located close enough to the city centre. Right near public transport.
Clean, simple, good atmosphere and a great stay.
Couple of down sides: no one on reception desk due to online checkin so we couldn't get any local inste and the springs in the bed were noisey.
Minor issues, would recommend if you are looking for a simple clean place to stay in SLC. "
Thank you for praising our property and location! We are glad to know you enjoyed your stay. ==RECEPTION== We are in the process of hiring an office aide to be on the property in the mornings. We also have a friendly housekeeping staff, and we are available by phone anytime to answer questions. ==BED== Thank you for letting us know. We will look into the issue. =TESTIMONIALS= ...staff was pleasant and helpful. Dawn W Ausralia

" Fair warning, there is definitely a mystery management vibe, the only staff member I ever saw was the cleaning lady. However, that being said, the place was clean, quiet, and within walking distance of downtown even in the winter (about 20-25 minutes walk from Temple Square, shorter on the UTA). I went in December, so not exactly tourist season (I had the girl's dorm to myself for 3 nights) but I still met some cool people. I'd recommend the place highly! "
Thank you for your great comments and rating! We are glad to know you enjoyed your stay. ==STAFF== Our management is available by phone to answer any questions. We are also in the process of hiring a morning office aide to be on the property. ==TESTIMONIALS== ...While we didn't need any help the staff seemed very available. We had a warm welcome! Emma E. Sweden

" there is really uncomfortable place
there is no employ at all time
also many camera all ways watching you!!! "
==STAFF== We have friendly housekeeping staff on site every morning, and we are currently hiring office staff for morning hours. We are also available by phone to answer any questions. ==CAMERAS== The security cameras are for the safety of the guests, because it is a self check-in hostel. Most guests find our property very safe and comfortable. =TESTIMONIALS= ...you feel safe and its in a great place. Marianne V Oregon, USA

- " I did not see another human being the whole 3 days I was there, it was kind of creepy but kind of great cause it was like I had my own house. Everything was super clean and organized and the TV in the rooms was amazing. The beds weren't great and were a little squeaky but I was the only one in my dorm so it didn't really matter. Location was right near downtown near transit and groceries and stuff. This place was great! But don't go hoping to make friends. "
- 25 Nov 2014 Jason Canada
" It is a pretty cool hostel. The beginning of entering here, you might feel confusing about check in system, but it is easy to use. Everything is good except for noisy beds. "
Thank you for the good review and rating. ==NOISY BEDS== Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will notify the building staff to address the problem. ==TESTIMONIALS== ...Rooms and beds are very nice, very safe and secure... Overall a very nice stay. Russell L England

" Main complaint: plastic utensils were gross and unsanitary. People are washing them and putting them back in their caddy. Some were oily and not clean. Also the heat was on even though it was 80 degrees during the day. I called to complain, was told it would be turned down, and no change occurred. Our room was sweltering at night. Poor lighting in the room. Had to use a headlamp to read. "
==UTENSILS== Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will have our staff check the utensils and make sure they are clean. ==HEAT== We turn the radiant heating up as the weather gets colder. The heating system is for multiple rooms, so it is difficult to adjust the temp for one single room, but we do try to accommodate. ==TESTIMONIALS== ...the place was clean every single day; bathrooms kitchen, all the areas clean all the time, Adrian A Chile
- 07 Oct 2014 Marissa USA
" Best hostel in SLC! This place was comfortable and felt safe. A lot of the negative reviews I see here are due to the absence of staff. But the truth is, that is the procedure of the place. There are no staff consistently present, no front desk. I can see how some might not like this, but it's not done out of laziness. The system is entirely automated. The showers are clean and so are the bedrooms. It's located right next to a tram station so it's easy to get around town. "
Thank you for the sincere comments and great rating!

Price: $14.00 Shipping Free SOLD
The conception of moksa, which is the basic , dominant and practical motive of Indian philosophy, has at times overshadowed the logical subtlety, depth and skill, the power of analysis, the force of argument, the dialectical acumen and the play of reason in the Indian philosophical systems. This has led to the criticism that Indian philosophy and particularly the Vedanta, is a combination of religious faith and reason, being based primarily on the authority of the veda-s, but in all the schools of Vedanta there are tracts devoted to the treatment of logical problems and no school accepts any of its doctrine without the appropriate logical bases.
The logic and the theory of knowledge of Indian systems of philosophy are largely coloured by their metaphysical tenets. There is no logic in the Indian philosophical systems which is not coloured by their metaphysical doctrines. The epistemology of a system is to a great extent dependent on its ontology. Sri Madhva's logic is closely related to his theory of metaphysics and his theology.
Dr. S.K. Mitra of Calcutta University has translated an elementary treatise on Madhva's logic, the Pramanacandrika. Dr. R. Nagaraja Sarma has written a running commentary in English on Madhva's Pramana-Laksana in his doctoral thesis The Reign o Realism in Indian Philosophy. The present work,based on the Pramanapaddhati of Jayatirtha, is a brief account of the Dvaita theory of Knowledge. In the exposition of the theme the comparative method is not adopted in full but I have freely drawn from the other works of Jayatirtha which are commentaries on Madhva's Works. In dealing with the logical categories of Madhva, I have compared them with those of the other systems of Indian philosophy.
My main inspiration for the study of Madhva's philosophy was the late Sri Satyadhyana Tirtha of Uttaradi Mutt.
My grateful thanks are due to Pandits Yellatur Narasimhachar and Kowligi Yadunathachar who have helped me in the preparation of the Work; to the late S.S. Suryanarayana Sastri who taught me the metaphysical and logical approach to Vedanta; to the late Professor Hiriyanna whose suggestions helped me in revising the work; to Dr. V. Raghavan for reading the proofs and making a valuable suggestions; and to Dr. K. Kunjunni Raja for going through the work, I am also thankful to The Adyar Library for under-taking to publish it.

text: Asian Rust Confirmed in Texas Texas could take the so-called rust corridor to points possibly as far north as Canada. Compiled by staff Published on: Feb 24, 2006 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print Asian soybean rust has now been found in an area of Texas where prevailing winds could help spread the disease. While scientists are not sure how the disease will behave in this part of the world, some are concerned that fungal spores from South Texas will ride the winds to the Midwest. Marvin Miller, a Texas Agricultural Experiment Station plant pathologist in South Texas, found the fungus on soybean leaves Feb. 14 in a research field plot at the Texas A&M University System Agricultural Research and Extension Center at Weslaco. A preliminary diagnosis made at the Texas Plant Disease Diagnostic Laboratory in College Station was confirmed by a USDA laboratory in Beltsville, Md., Miller says. The soybean rust fungus was first introduced into the U.S. in Florida in 2004, likely aboard hurricane winds, but confined itself to the Southeast, according to Tom Isakeit, a plant pathologist with Texas Cooperative Extension in College Station. "This finding in South Texas is probably a new introduction," Isakeit says. "And what it suggests is that soybean rust could take the so-called 'rust corridor' to points possibly as far north as Canada." Prevailing winds have been blamed for taking a number of other rust diseases on a northerly path, including southern rust of corn, stem rust of wheat, and common rust of corn, he says. Joseph Krausz, a scientist at Texas A&M University's department of plant pathology, says confirmation of soybean rust in both Mexico and Texas is very significant. "The recent occurrence of soybean rust in South Texas and in the Mexican states of Tamaulipas and San Luis Potosi late last year may very well be the first step in the pathogen becoming established, or endemic, in the 'rust corridor,' which historically has been the pathway of seasonal dissemination of a number of rust diseases from south to north," Krausz says. Environmental conditions will play a major role in influencing the further establishment of the pathogen in the corridor, he says. The soybean rust found in Texas on Valentine's Day was in a 1-acre research field plot in Weslaco that was part of an irrigation study. Isakeit had checked the field in December and found no symptoms of the fungus. "Infection must have happened after my visit in December, unless plants were already infected but were not yet showing symptoms," Isakeit says. Trying to pinpoint the source of the spores can be difficult, he says. "Rust spores can be carried by wind currents hundreds or even thousands of miles, even across oceans," Isakeit says. "They are eventually brought down to earth by rain and a leaf that's been wet for several hours is needed in order for a spore to germinate and infect a plant." But once a plant is infected, the fungus can multiply rapidly, Miller says. "That's why growers need to be vigilant. There are fungicides that are registered for use on soybean rust, but early detection and treatment are key," he says. The field in Weslaco where the fungus was found has been harvested and plowed under, but Miller says a "sentinel" plot of soybeans will be planted to serve as an early-warning system for growers. "A few rows of soybeans will be planted shortly which we'll be checking throughout the spring," he says. Isakeit says other bean crops grown in the area, including commercial green bean and cowpea fields also will be monitored. "Surveying these fields will provide information to get the big picture of how this fungus behaves in this part of the world," he says. "We know it's caused major losses in Asia and other parts of the world, but we don't really know how it will affect crops here. The weather and prevailing winds this spring will play a big role in what happens, but if South Texas bean crops have a rough year with soybean rust, there will be the potential for a bad year further north."

Meeting Description:
The SANCL 2014 Special Track aims to provide a forum for all researchers interested in syntactic analysis and parsing of language that is non-canonical. By that term we mean structures with characteristics deviating from the standard written form of the language. A case in point is spoken language, but also the language of social media, computer-mediated communication in general, the interlanguage produced by language learners or historical data. These all have their own specific properties and all pose challenges for parsing models trained on edited newspaper text as well as for the theoretical analysis of these structures.
The SANCL Special Track is part of the Joint Workshop on Statistical Parsing of Morphologically Rich Languages and Analysis of Non-Canonical Languages (SPMRL-SANCL 2014), co-located with COLING 2014.
2nd Call for Papers:
Special Track on the Syntactic Analysis of Non-Canonical Language

SANCL Special Track:
SANCL Poster Submissions:
In addition to regular paper submissions, we solicit poster submissions addressing the syntactic analysis of frequent phenomena of non-canonical languages which are difficult to annotate and parse using conventional annotation schemes. A case in point are the representation of verbless utterances in a dependency scheme, the pros and cons of different representations of disfluencies for statistical parsing, or the analysis of complex hashtags which incorporate and merge different syntactic arguments into one token.
Poster submissions should focus on one or more of the topics listed below. They should either be submitted as a short paper (up to 7 single-column pages + references, to be included in the proceedings and presented as a poster at the workshop) or be submitted as an abstract (max. 500 words excluding examples/references, to be presented as a poster at the workshop). Abstract submissions should sketch an analysis for a given problem while short paper submissions should also present at least preliminary experimental results showing the feasibility of the approach.
Topics for Poster Submissions:
Unit of Analysis:
We ask for contributions on the optimal unit of analysis for non-canonical languages which do not come already separated into sentence-like units (e.g. spoken language, tweets, historical data), and for contributions on best practices for tokenizing spoken language and CMC.
Elliptical Structures and Missing Elements:
Non-canonical languages often include sentences where syntactic arguments are not expressed at the surface level. This raises the question how we can provide a meaningful analysis for these structures, especially in a dependency grammar framework. We ask for contributions discussing the optimal representation for elliptical structures.
Hashtags & Friends:
We are interested in approaches towards a syntactic analysis of hashtags and related phenomena which allow us to make use of the information encoded in hashtags.
Disfluencies (e.g. fillers, repairs) are a common phenomenon in spoken language and also occur in written, but conceptually spoken language such as CMC. We ask for contributions discussing the best way of representing disfluencies in the syntax tree.
Code Mixing:
In informal spoken language as well as in CMC, a considerable amount of the data includes code mixing. We ask for contributions discussing best practices for the syntactic analysis of code mixing.
