President Laurent Kabila has died following reports that he had been shot during an apparent coup attempt, U.S. and European officials said today.
Belgian Foreign Ministry spokesman Koen Vervaeke said in Brussels that "two sources, of whom we are 100 percent certain" said Kabila had been killed during the intense 30-minute shooting at his palatial residence in Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, a former Belgian colony that was also formerly known as Zaire.
"He has probably been shot by one of his guards," Vervaeke said.
He said the sources told the Belgian government Kabila died after being hit by two bullets. "The circumstances are too confused to know more," Vervaeke told Reuters.
The Belgian officials gave no further information, and the report could not be confirmed in Kinshasa. French Foreign Ministry officials also said that Kabila was dead, but gave no further details.
A senior U.S. administration official also confirmed the report. The official told ABCNEWS: "The violence is regrettable and this is not the way change should be obtained. It remains important to us to continue the peace process."
Congo's Interior Minister Gaetan Kakudji refused to comment on the situation. "The Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs can say what he wants but I will make my announcement tomorrow," Kakjudi said.
Conflicting Reports
Kabila's government would not elaborate publicly on its president's condition, or even whether he'd been shot.
"President Kabila is alive and everything is OK," said Congolese Gen. Francois Olenga.
The conflicting reports came hours after witnesses described gunfire around the home of Kabila, who has been fighting multiple rebel armies for more than two years. It was unclear who was responsible for the shooting.
A presidential helicopter landed at Kinshasa's main hospital, a government official who witnessed the event said, adding there were unconfirmed reports that the aircraft was carrying Kabila's son, Joseph Kabila, who had apparently been injured. The younger Kabila is the head of Congo's military.
A member of Kabila's security entourage said on condition of anonymity the bodyguard had shot the president in the back and right leg. Kabila was alive and was being treated by doctors, he said without elaborating.
Intelligence officers in Rwanda said they had unconfirmed reports that Kabila was killed in the intense shooting today at the presidential palace, which lasted a half-hour. Rwanda supports rebels fighting to topple the Congolese strongman.
Speaking from Brussels, Kin-Kiey Mulumba, a spokesman for one of the main rebel movements, insisted Kabila was dead.
"It was a palace coup. Soldiers from Kabila's escort fired at him. He took bullets directly. Immediately, the doctors took him to the main hospital, but he died."
Mulumba said the shooting proved that the Congolese people wanted change, but denied that rebels had anything to do with it.
"Something big happened in our country this afternoon. People want change," he said.
Hundreds of Americans in Congo
Presidential aide Eddy Kapend went on national television shortly after the gunfire ended to appeal for calm, but he made no mention of the incident.
The bleary-eyed Kapend ordered that all airports and borders be closed, appealing to the armed forces and civil society leaders to help maintain order.
"The Congolese people need your serenity and your discipline," he said.

I bit tired of trying...
I have problems with my nvidia driver. These are the services that i haven't been able to make it work:
* Handling of memory: Suddenly running http://www.beryl-project.org/ I get black windows. This seems a bad handling of memory of the driver.
* Suspend: coming back from suspend/hibernate in my laptop is very buggy. I also get a black screen where I can only see the pointer. Some people have made it work. I have tried without success. It seems a bit messy.
* Sensors: again a problem. It not only fails, but also avoid other sensors to work properly.
Is there a roadmap for future releases of the driver? I can understand there is lot of work here. Please open source and let others to work for you!
Re: I bit tired of trying...

Baby Walrus Arrives at NY Aquarium
Thursday, October 11, 2012
A baby walrus from Alaska has arrived at the Wildlife Conservation Society's New York Aquarium.
The 15-week-old, 234-pound mammal was one of two orphaned walrus calves rescued from the ocean off Alaska in July.
The Alaska SeaLife Center initially cared for the two, but the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recommended that the walruses, Mitik and Pakak, be sent to the New York Aquarium and the Indianapolis Zoo respectively.
New York Aquarium staff escorted Mitik on an overnight flight to Newark, N.J. He arrived in Brooklyn early Thursday.
Mitik was badly dehydrated when he was found. He's getting better, but aquarium staff will stay with him around the clock and hand feed him for a while.
"Mitik has been showing signs of improvement thanks to the dedication and expertise of the Alaska SeaLife Center team, New York Aquarium staff on-site, and the Indianapolis Zoo staff all working together," said Jon Forrest Dohlin, Wildlife Conservation Society vice president and New York Aquarium director. "He is not out of the woods yet, but we are hopeful he will make a full recovery."
The New York Aquarium in Coney Island is one of only a few institutions in the country that exhibit walruses.
It has two other walruses: 30-year-old Nuka and 17-year-old Kulu.
Mitik is expected to join the exhibit next spring. Martha Hiatt, New York Aquarium Animal Department Supervisor in charge of Training and Enrichment, had been in Alaska working with the calves. She observed that, despite any health issues, Mitik is active and enjoys interacting with people.

VISTA: School board considers more cuts, layoffs
Board meeting goes into late evening
"Please think of us before you make your decisions and your cuts," said Andrew Beebe, a sixth-grader at Roosevelt Middle School. "Our future is in your hands."
The board won't approve a final budget until June but must plan for cuts now in order to meet certain deadlines.
District officials expect to spend roughly $176 million next year, down from an estimated $215 million this year.
Revenue is declining for districts across California, as state officials cut education funding to deal with their own budget woes. The situation in Vista Unified has been worsened by declining enrollment over the past several years.
State funding is based on attendance.

Product description
"Managers As Mentors" is a rapid-fire read and a provocative guide to helping associates grow and adapt in today's tumultuous organizations. This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. Chip Bell and Marshall Goldsmith place increased emphasis on the mentor as a learning catalyst for the protege rather than someone who simply hands down knowledge-crucial for younger workers who prize growth opportunities even more than prior generations and who tend to distrust hierarchy. As with previous editions there is a fictional case study of a mentor-protege relationship running through the book, but this is augmented with six actual case studies of top CEOs from organizations like The Nature Conservancy and Bloomin' Brands, who relate key mentoring experiences in their lives. The new chapters cover topics like the role of mentoring in spurring innovation and mentoring a diverse and dispersed workforce accustomed to interacting and getting information digitally. Also new to this edition is The Mentor's Toolkit, six resources to help in developing the mentor-protege relationship. This hands-on guide takes the mystery out of effective mentoring, teaching leaders to be the kind of confident coaches integral to learning organizations.

Review quote
"Continual learning is a key to effective leadership...Managers as Mentors is a practical yet powerful book for helping leaders make continual learning a valuable addition to their strategy."--Mike Krzyzewski, Head Coach, Duke University Men's Basketball, 2010 NCAA Champions "Mentoring is the highest of the teaching arts, and in this new edition, Chip Bell and Marshall Goldsmith have skillfully crafted the essential handbook for all those who are trusted advisors to aspiring leaders."--Jim Kouzes, coauthor of The Leadership Challenge and Dean's Executive Fellow of Leadership, Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University "Managers as Mentors will be the indispensable handbook of managers/leaders across the sectors."--Frances Hesselbein, President and CEO, The Frances Hesselbein Leadership Institute, and former CEO, Girls Scouts of the USA "Managers as Mentors is the must-read for leaders who value innovation, growth, and progress--all treasured byproducts of those learning organizations where leaders mine talent."--Vijay Govindarajan, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Reverse Innovation and Professor of International Business, Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth University "Companies today tell their managers 'You need to mentor.'

Essential and full of practical wisdom."--Sally Helgesen, author of The Female Advantage and The Web of Inclusion and coauthor of The Female Vision "As captain of the 'best damn ship in the US Navy, ' I learned that the high-performance sailors typically had effective mentors. Wish I'd had this book then!

Buy the book and find out how."--Jeffrey Gitomer, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Little Gold Book of YES! Attitude and The Little Red Book of Selling "I can't imagine any two people on this planet better equipped to take on this subject than Marshall and Chip. For those seeking advice in building successful mentoring partnerships, this is your book."--Gordon Peters, Founding Chairman and CEO, Institute for Management Studies "The book managers everywhere have been waiting for: a clear and practical guide to tapping talent in their organizations. If you ever wondered what managers in 'learning organizations' are supposed to be doing, here's your answer."--Nancy K. Austin, coauthor (with Tom Peters) of A Passion for Excellence

Bastiaan - I got your print today. It is superb! Very good choice for the Holga look
I was really impressed with your printing. This is the first FB print I've handled (that was made by someone else!) and I liked the subtleness of the tones. Beautifully done.
Can you tell me how you got the print so flat? There's not a curl or a bump on it! I've never managed that degree of flatness with FB - what is your secret?

"It was a lot easier to use then I expected. My favorite eliquid is Halawa Guava. Tastes pretty mean. Should be able to master the Vape-nado soon and off to the next trick. After I started vaping, I noticed more and more people making the switch. In school, at work and even some of my friends and family."

Do-it-yourself OCR with Perl modules
SecurID tokens use an authentication system by RSA Security to give the user a valid key for logging onto the target system. A home-grown optical character recognition tool in Perl monitors the key generator.
My colleague Fergus recently noticed that his SecurID token displayed "000000," and he posted a photo of this on Flickr. These keyfob tokens by SecurID output a different 6-digit number every 60 seconds. If the odds for any numeric sequence appearing are equal, the chance of getting to see "000000" is one in a million. It's like winning the lottery! This lucky shot made me curious to find out what my keyfob displayed while I wasn't looking. It is fairly easy to digitize the output with a webcam or a scanner, and optical character recognition (OCR) would give me the digits hidden in the pixel-based output. But because OCR vendors have more or less patented this area to death, there is little in the line of functional free software.

The West Virginia State Police and U.S. 119 Drug Task Force arrested Timothy L. Meade, 52, of Whitman, after he received an envelope through the U.S. Postal Service.
The package contained two Licodaine Pain Patches and numerous Xanax pills.
Meade told officers his brother in Indiana sent the envelope addressed to him, but he was to deliver the package to his mother. The criminal complaint says the brother had the contents of the package prescribed for him in Indiana.
Meade faces charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, conspiracy and prohibited drug purchase or receipt.
The W.Va. code 60A-8-6 says: It is unlawful for any person or entity to knowingly purchase or receive any prescription drug from any source other than a person or entity licensed pursuant to the laws of this state except where otherwise provided, such person or entity to include, but not be limited to, a wholesale distributor, manufacturer, pharmacy distributor or pharmacy. Any person violating the provisions of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not more than one thousand dollars. Any person who violates this section shall for a second offense be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than one thousand dollars nor more than five thousand dollars.

Im up to over 70,000 flexperks since june on my other US Bank card. I got in when the sign on bonus was only 10k, it went to 30k during the olympics and now stands at 15k.
Yeah I am going to work hard on this one. US Bank has great products and usually service as well. I think it is the best cash back card out there. It will be nice having one good travel card and one good cash card with them. They have treated me well. I opened my first credit card about a year and a half ago, it was their college visa. Since then my credit has grown very well. All thanks to their continued generosity.

St. Stephens 51, Bandys 39
Chris Hefner scored 11 points and Kerigan Farley added 10 points to lead the Indians (8-3) to a non-conference victory against the Trojans.
St. Stephens turned a one-point lead in the first quarter into a 32-22 lead at halftime. That distance carried through the rest of the game, pacing the Indians to their second win over the Trojans.
Hayden Deal led Bandys (0-9) with 12 points.

CHARLOTTE — A quick glimpse at the numbers suggests the Panthers should focus on upgrading their defense next offseason.
But that's not necessarily the team's thinking as it begins to look ahead to 2012.
Although the Panthers rank 23rd in the NFL in total defense this year — as opposed to fifth on offense — general manager Marty Hurney and coach Ron Rivera feel the defense is much improved over the last month.
The Panthers (5-9) have held three of their last four opponents to fewer than 20 points entering Sunday's game against Tampa Bay (4-10).

There was a lot of blood on the pasture a week ago. Silvia and Klaus Münster are sitting at a table covered with oilcloth. There are plastic flowers in pots lining the steps leading up to their house in Steinitz, a town in Saxony. The smell of chicken feces is in the air and there are chickens parading around the yard, clucking away. A rooster is crowing so loudly that Silvia Münster has to raise her voice to be heard.
"It's not a sight you can easily forget," she says, with her arms crossed. "There wasn't much left of the Cameroon sheep" -- nothing but scattered body parts.
The Münsters probably won't even be compensated for the four animals they lost in the massacre, because the pasture wasn't completely fenced in. "We didn't expect them to get through the reeds along the ditch," says Silvia Münster. "The people who showed up seemed to think it was funny. It was just an invitation to dinner, the woman said, the one with the dog."
The woman with the dog was Ilka Reinhardt, who investigates sheep killings to determine whether a wolf was to blame or just a feral dog. Her Longhair Weimaraner is trained to follow wolf tracks. He found parts of the sheep's bodies that had been dragged away, leading Reinhardt to conclude that it was indeed a wolf.
"It's outrageous, the notion that the wolf is more important than people," says Silvia Münster. She is not a fan of Reinhardt and her colleagues. "They're the ones who brought him here, the wolf, for scientific purposes, for observation purposes!" She refuses to be dissuaded from believing this theory of wolf reintroduction -- one that is widespread in the Lausitz region.
And then her taciturn husband speaks up: "I'm not afraid of the wolf. I'd beat him to death."
The gray predator's biggest fan club, the "Society for the Protection of Wolves," has about 1,000 members, while another group, the "Friends of Wolves Living in the Wild," has 200. That makes more than 10 wolf protectors per wolf in Germany, not to mention organizations like the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) and the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW). The officials of these organizations travel around Germany in the hope of changing negative views of the predators.
On this particular evening, the Society for the Protection of Wolves is holding an event in the state of Saarland, which the friends of Canis lupus refer to as a "state expecting the arrival of the wolf." The event is an informational gathering in the Neuhaus barn, a cozy place with rustic walls and wooden tables, north of the state capital Saarbrücken.
The environment minister, a member of the Green Party and the head of the state forestry agencies are there. Hunters were invited, but none showed up. Instead, a group of like-minded people listens to a presentation by a representative of the Society for the Protection of Wolves, who spends two hours raving about the wolf as a fairy tale-like creature. He also mentions the "really cute children's books" his organization sells to instill an affection for the animals among little children.

Drought Tech: How Solar Desalination Could Help Parched Farms
By Alice Daniel
Farmers on the western side of the San Joaquin Valley can count on two things: sunshine and water that's polluted and salty where minerals have built up in the soil. Now a Northern California entrepreneur is using one to clean up the other in the Panoche Water and Drainage District near the little town of Firebaugh, about 50 miles northwest of Fresno.
It's called a "drainage district" because farms around here have to get rid of excess salty irrigation water, explains ranch manager Wayne Western (yes, that's his name). An elaborate system of underground drains and pumps collects the runoff. The district then recycles that water on 6,000 acres of more salt-tolerant crops.
"These are pistachios right here, they're 13 years old," he says, walking through an orchard that's getting some of the reclaimed water.
"The district is doing this for its growers because if they didn't, at some point you'd have to retain your own runoff water," says Western. "If you've got nowhere to go with it, after awhile, you're not going to be growing anything in that ground."
'Not in our wildest dreams did we ever think we could have revenue generated from this wastewater.'
"Our whole goal here was to get rid of the wastewater," says Dennis Falaschi, who runs the district. "Not in our wildest dreams did we ever think we could have revenue generated from this wastewater."
The revenue comes from selling the wheatgrass, which is used for cattle feed, and the pistachios. As it turns out, cattle need a certain amount of selenium. But there's still the problem of the brackish runoff from these salt-tolerant crops. By 2016, environmental regulations will put a stop to dumping it into the San Joaquin River. Falaschi says finding another solution is paramount, if tricky."Over the course of the last 15 years, we must have tried out 20-to-25 different treatment processes and you know, you end up spending a lot of time and a lot of hours on something that just doesn't work," he says.
But now there's one idea that's starting to look a little brighter. Falaschi points to a row of curved mirrors that stretch out near a field of wheatgrass.
"The equipment that we're looking at here — with the exception of the solar panels — is pretty much shelf-item stuff," he says. "I mean, you know, you're looking at a boiler, and then you have a plumbing system that actually runs through."
'If we can treat this water, we've managed our drainage problem, but we've also created supplemental water.'
"If we can treat this water, we've managed our drainage problem, but we've also created supplemental water," says Falaschi. "That's why we're excited."
"It's actually a lot like back when you were a kid and you would play with a magnifying glass on the sidewalk to burn things," explains Aaron Mandell, the founder of WaterFX, which designed the solar plant. "We don't actually burn things but it's the same concept; you concentrate solar energy and you can generate very high temperatures."
An absorption pump that Mandell and his team designed reduces by half the energy it takes to evaporate water. The project also uses a reflective mirror-like film to focus the sun on long tubes containing mineral oil. The heat from the oil is piped into evaporators to generate steam.
"So the heat that we generate from the sun basically separates water and salt," he says. The process produces potable water which the company can then sell, along with some of the minerals distilled out, like selenium and even boron. The project is timely with California three years into a drought, but Mandell says, that wasn't his motivation.
'Even if the drought were to end right now, we would still need desalination as a more reliable source of water going forward.'
WaterFX will soon build a much larger plant, this one funded by investors. It's slated to treat about 2 million gallons a day. Mandell says it will cost about $450 to produce an acre-foot of water. That's more than farmers here pay for surface water but about half the total operating costs of a conventional desalination plant that uses reverse osmosis.
Dennis Falaschi says his water district will provide the 75-acre site and probably be the main customer. Farmers this year received no water from the federal Central Valley Project, so the onus, he says, is on Water FX.
"You showed us the baby steps you can perform. Now go out and do the big steps," says Falaschi. "And if you perform? That's why the world goes around. I get water, you get money."
Alice Daniel reports out of The California Report's Central Valley bureau.

TOKYO (ICIS)-- Japanese chemical producer Toray Industries on Thursday posted a 47% year-on-year increase in its first-half net profit to yen (Y) 29.4bn partly on improved performance in the fibres and textiles segment.
Operating profit in the six months to 30 September 2013 increased by 21% to Y44.3bn ($443m) from the same time a year earlier, while net sales rose by 13% to Y853.8bn, Toray said in a statement.
In the plastics and chemicals segment, first-half operating profit, however, fell by 14% to Y9.0bn, with net sales up 17% to Y228bn, according to Toray.
This was because the resin business was affected by the increased feedstock costs, while demand for automotive applications increased in Japan, Toray said.
Operating profit in the fibres and textiles segment rose by 30% year on year to Y24.2bn, with net sales up 16% to Y335.1bn, according to Toray.

CPI (M) State secretary G. Ramakrishnan on Saturday urged the Centre and the State government to increase the grant for silk farmers and expand the scope for sericulture as the prices of silk yarn and zari had increased .
In a statement here, he said 3 lakh handloom weavers and 10,000 powerloom weavers were facing difficulties because of the hike.
Shortage of silk in Karnataka is said to be one of the reasons for the situation, he added. Mr. Ramakrishnan said the government should waive the 30 per cent duty on silk imported from China.
It should also distribute silk yarn directly to the weavers.
Financial aid
He also wanted Rs 2000 financial assistance to weavers suffered by monsoon and hike in the price of silk yarn.

Economic Value
T. magnivelare is one of the most economically valuable forest mushrooms in the Pacific northwest (Kranabetter et al. 2002; Pilz et al. 2008). It is used for food in North America and Asia (Murata et al. 1999) with the majority of the harvest each year exported to Japan (Amaranthus et al. 2000). Between 500 – 700 t of T. magnivelare harvested from the US and Canada is exported to Japan annually and wholesales for 30 – 40 % of the T. matsutake going price. T. matsutake is culturally important in Japan but its production and availability has dramatically declined making the import of T. magnivelare as a replacement all the more important (Yun et al. 1997).
Economically important commodity for rural communities (Zapotecs and peasants) in central Mexico, almost all is exported to Japan. It has been found occassionally for sale in markets in Oaxaca. Produce/gather 2.5-5.0 kg/ha/yr. Mushrooms are harvested by the communites. Fresh mushrooms are graded and processed [ie. dried (in an oven), canned (pickled or cooked before canned), frozen, or freeze dried] before being sold to the exporters (Martinez-Carrera et al. 2002).

Sailors bid farewell to 'Connie'
REGINALD MC CLOUD, Sioux City, Iowa
Early 1970s
"I was on Connie in July 1972 when we returned from the western Pacific. We stopped at San Francisco, which meant we had to get under the Golden Gate Bridge. There was only 20 feet of clearance between the top of our mast and the bottom of the bridge. So our captain called for a 14-degree starboard turn, which would tilt the ship and get the mast under the bridge safely. If we turned any more than that, the ship would be in danger of completely tipping over. All hands on deck watched with anxiety as the Connie crept slowly beneath the bridge, clearing it by only a few feet. The crew erupted with joy. Connie later returned to San Diego. With my sea bag on my back, I walked off with 4,999 other sailors and requested to 'go ashore' for the last time. No more three-minute showers!"
CORWIN BELL, Mission Valley
"I had the thankless job of verifying that spaces people wanted to paint, needed painting and were ready for painting. Each group had to submit a written request called a "paint chit." As these trickled in, I had to inspect each space for which a chit had been submitted. I had studied the BuShips Technical Manual on preservation of ships in service, and I had a paint thickness gauge. The ship was 1,088 feet long and was as tall as a 20-story building. There were thousands of spaces. Usually, the chits came in at the rate of four or five per day. The only problem in inspecting was getting to the space. If a space on the eighth deck had to be inspected, I had to climb from the second deck down a narrow vertical shaft, opening watertight scuttles at each deck level. The compartmentation of the ship was designed to prevent flooding in the event of battle damage. I could not inspect one eighth-deck space and then travel horizontally to the next eighth space. Instead, I had to climb up to the second deck and then down another shaft to the next eighth-deck space. On return to my office, I would find that a new chit had been submitted to paint the signal bridge, nine levels up from the main deck."
1957: The ship's keel was laid at the New York Naval Shipyard, Brooklyn, NY
1960: The Constellation was launched on October 8, and suffered a major fire on Dec. 19. About 50 shipyard workers were killed.
1961: The carrier is commissioned
1962: The "Connie" enters San Diego Bay, it's permanent home.
1964: American and North Vietnamese naval forces clash in the Gulf of Tonkin, an incident that intensified the Vietnam war. The Constellation soon became the first US warship to launch sustained attacks against North Vietnamese bases and vessels.
1968: In November, Constellation pilots fly the last strike missions into North Vietnam before aerial bombing is halted.
1969: A C-2A aircraft crashes en route to Constellation, killing 26 military personnel

Brief story.
Tyumen is a branch office, which provides the location where the transfer of prisoners taken. From there, begin their walk. On Tuesday I went to prison office, and I got to talk to its master. He thought that the Finns had not yet arrived, but I asked anyway to visit the crown, a ride in jail watching. When I was pointing to him the Regulation that the Finns are the sizes of a few, they are for the specified places, so he said that there had been no such provision, and added that it was impossible to set them all at the same place when you did not have enough of the country all together in the village. It seemed like this would not be able to do anything, even though I tried to put my best.
But the chance to turn things were quite different. When the officer heard that I spoke German, he was so polite that challenged me to his home when his wife spoke German and was. I was not slow to accept the invitation. Madame was a pleasant woman, and seemed to cuddling. I said to him how difficult it was to provide no regular pastoral care, when they were scattered here and there throughout the whole of Western Greatland. The result was that the master promised to do what was in his power. That he did more than what I even I could not believe I found afterwards.
When I went to jail in the afternoon so I got to hear from one Farlers, which is due to illness had been other that all of you sent in had already left Tyumen. I liked certain that they would be broken up here and there in Russian villages, as before. Since then, I got to hear the transmission from prisoners that they had received instruction on the way to stop prison. Here they had to wait two weeks, realizing the reason to delay.

Samsung announces new Galaxy Tab S line of tablets
Published on Jun 13, 2014 10:49 AM
Not content with its current line-up of tablets of different types and sizes, Korean tech giant Samsung has announced two new models armed with sharper, brighter displays and fingerprint scanners for added security.
Available in 8.4-inch and 10.5-inch sizes, these new flagship tablets will use Samsung's Super Amoled screens, which were previously reserved for the company's smartphone models (aside from a lone Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet model in 2011). Offering more vibrant colours and deeper blacks, these displays have a pixel resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 and a touted 100,000: 1 contrast ratio that is more efficient than the current crop of TFT screens used by competitors such as Apple's iPad.
In fact, the 10.5-inch model is looking to be a direct competitor of Apple's much lauded iPad Air. Weighing 465g against the 469g of the iPad Air, the Tab S 10.5-inch is also slimmer, at 6.6mm compared to the 7.5mm of the iPad Air.
The larger Tab S tablet will also have its own Bluetooth keyboard that turns the device into a laptop. Running on Android KitKat 4.4, the tablets will come with 3GB of RAM and either 16GB or 32GB of memory, as well as a microSD slot that allows storage space to be increased by up to 128GB. Samsung Singapore has not announced local prices but the devices are expected to be available from July.

August 15, 2012
For the second consecutive year, Sedalia School District 200 received all 14 possible points in the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's Annual Performance Report.
Other area districts held their scores from 2011 or made slight improvements, except for Pettis County R-V, which saw a four-point drop from 14 to 10.
According to a DESE news release: "Missouri Assessment Program test scores and other performance measures are used to develop each school district's APR. The APR provides an update on how districts are meeting state standards in 14 areas, which are the foundation for Missouri's accreditation requirements for public schools. In addition to the test scores, attendance, graduation rates, ACT test scores and other indicators are used to determine each district's APR."
Last year was the first time since the 2004-05 school year that the Sedalia district got all 14 points. At the time, Superintendent Harriet Wolfe said, "Now we have to sustain that."
To maintain that score, Wolfe said district educators and admininstrators "were persistent, and kept drilling down deeper and deeper into individual students. What does this individual student know? What does this individual student not know? What do we need to do to intervene with this student to get them to move forward and show growth?"
Two key programs the district instituted were getting principals into classrooms more frequently and providing focused intervention groups to help students build up areas of academic weakness.
Wolfe required principals to provide 30 three- to five-minute "snapshot" reports every two weeks on what was happening in classrooms.
She said, "The administrative presence in the classroom makes (principals) much more knowledgable about what is going on on a daily basis and much more able to have professional conversations about academic achievement."
Director of Curriculum, Instruction and Assessment Carla Wheeler said diagnostic assessments were used to pinpoint students' academic weaknesses or strengths; they then were placed in like groups. So, for example, if 10 students at a grade level at a school had punctuation issues, they would get remediation together.
Assistant Superintendent Nancy Scott said all students received intervention time, but those scoring at or above grade level got enrichment rather than remediation, "so everyone was having it at the same time so no one missed class time."
Because of assessments and intervention groups, "Those teachers could tell you every single kid and where their gap was and what we were doing specifically to address it," Wolfe said.
Wheeler praised educators and students for helping the district reach its goals.
"Teachers, honestly, are working harder than they have ever worked," she said. "Kids are working hard, they are getting more information about themselves, about where they are and where they need to go."
In the Pettis County R-V district, this year's results were unexpected. Superintendent Sharee Norfleet said while students in grades 3 through 5 met required scoring levels, they did not show the necessary amount of progress from the previous year.
"We flatlined in that grade span, and that took us out of the ballgame this year," Norfleet said.
Kim Evans, Northwest Elementary School principal, and Norfleet examined the scores and found that the third graders' performance raised questions.
"What is it that our third graders are lacking that we can move them up in?" Evans asked. "Because this came a little bit of a surprise to us."
But Norfleet refused to single out a specific group of students.
"The third grade scores brought us down, but this is not a grade level problem, it's a K-3 problem and it's a district problem," she said. "This is disappointing for us, but we don't want to cast this as being discouraged or casting blame. We want to move forward."
To do that, elementary teachers will focus more intently on individual students' needs and address them with remediation.
The district also came up short in its subgroup score, which reflects performance by students eligible for free and reduced-price meals at all grade levels. Travis Moore, Northwest High School principal, said in his building teachers will have shared planning time so they can discuss student achievement and address needs. And this year, a 25-minute seminar block will be added in the middle of the day where students who need remediation will be directed to specific teachers; others who are meeting the standards will get opportunities for academic enrichment.
"We recognize where we need to go and the direction we need to head," Norfleet said.

The former G.F. Schiavoni Plumbing warehouse on Jermain Avenue, which has been vacant for several years, has most recently served as a tableau for graffitti artists who have painted it with a giant pink whale, the word FREEDUM and a number of tags.
But now, its new owners, 64 Jermain LLC, want to convert the two-story brick and concrete former factory building into four condominiums.
The most basic of plans were unveiled before the Sag Harbor Zoning Board of Appeals on Tuesday, which has been asked to consider changing the use of the property from warehouse/office to condominums, where both would be considered nonconforming in the neighborhood, which is zoned for half-acre residential lots.
The plans showed the existing building being used for the condominums, although no floor plans or elevations were provided. Each unit would have its own deck and pool. Most of the property, about four acres to the rear, which is largely wetlands, would be preserved, with the development rights being transferred to Suffolk County, according to attorney Dennis Downes, who represented the applicants.
According to the application filed with the village building department, 64 Jermain LLC, has a mailing address at 102 Franklin Street in New York City. David Siolverstein and Markus Dochantschi signed paperwork, idenfitying themselves as "members" of the limited liability corporation.
Although Mr. Downes told the board it was merely being asked to consider the change in use, the board's attorney, Denise Schoen had other ideas. She said if the ZBA ruled on the application, it would be considered "segmentation" under the State Environmental Quality Review Act, which is prohibited, "because we haven't done a full environmental review." Segmentation occurs when a reviewing board does not look at the total scope of a project during the environmental review process.
She said the application should first be reviewed by the planning board, which would weigh in on the site plan before deciding whether or not to refer it to the ZBA for the use change application.
But Mr. Downes, referring to recent staff changes in the building department, said he had been told by "three building inspectors over six months" that the first step would be to come before the ZBA first.
Ms. Schoen also questioned whether the existing use, as a warehouse and office, had been abandoned by the Schiavonis after they moved their plumbing business out, although Mr. Downes argued that courts had ruled that a use could not be considered abandoned if a property were on the market. If the use were to be abandoned, the property would revert to the half-acre, single-family residential zoning like the rest of the surrounding area.
Before tabling the application, which the board's environmental consultant, Richard Warren, said would have to be subjected to another public notice, the board opened the matter for public comment.
"Condominiums in the existing building sounds very appealing," said Anita Guarino, a resident of Joels Lane. "Condominiums with four pools not so much." She said her major concern was that the wetlands would be protected and that neighbors would be kept informed of the progress of the application.
Paul Babcock, the owner of Cappy Amundsen's former studio at the corner of Madison Street and Jermain Avenue, was also before the board, seeking a change of use that would allow him to rent a portion of the ground floor of his building to an antique shop or as an office.
His attorney, Mr. Downes, said, that in the 1990s, the ZBA allowed the building, a former neighborhood store, to be converted into three apartments and a studio space for an artist. Various tenants have tried to make a go of it, to no avail, the attorney said. Mr. Babcock was cited by village code enforcement because the previous tenant sold antiques from the space, Mr. Downes said.
Board member Tim McGuire questioned whether the ZBA should allow a retail use. "Do we want to legalize and introduce a business in the middle of a residential area?" he asked.
Fellow board member Scott Baker, who said he lives nearby, said that Sag Harbor, indeed, had a history of small stores, scattered throughout its neighborhoods, but questioned if allowing changes would create a parking problem.
The board tabled the matter, pending receipt of a scaled floor plan, showing the 508-square-foot area, Mr. Downes said, would be used for a store or office.
In a straw vote, over the objection of member Brendan Skislock, the board said it would not be inclined to grant at least two of five variances requested by Steven Barr to build an addition to his house at 43 Howard Street.
One of the variances turned down would have allowed 23.7-percent building coverage, where the code allows 20 percent, and the other would have sought total coverage of 32 percent, where the code allows 25 percent.
Mr. Baker, who is Mr. Barr's architect, recused himself from the review. "Fundamentally, the project is too large," said Neil Slevin, the board's alternate, who sat in for Mr. Baker.
"This is a very large additon to the historic house," said Mr. McGuire. "I think it needs a redesign."
Chairman Anton Hagen said he regretted that the hearing was closed the same night it was opened, on November 25, because it did not allow an opportunity for the project to be scaled back.
At that hearing, Mia Grosjean, who lives next door, and two other neighbors, objected to the size of the addition. Although Mr. Barr reached an accomodation with the other two neighbors, Ms. Grosjean continued her opposition.
Although she was not present at Tuesday's meeting, she tried to listen in, via the cell phone of Jayne Young of Save Sag Harbor who had her on speaker phone. Twice, Ms. Grosjean's voice interupted the proceedings when she said she could not hear what was going on, causing Mr. Hagen to ask for silence.
After the board took its vote, Mr. Downes questioned members whether Ms. Grosjean had discussed the application with them after the hearing. Mr. Hagen said she had spoken to him, to ask if there was a possibility that the deadline for comment could be extended beyound December 1 but had not discussed specifics of the case or tried to sway his vote.
