A lanky, right-handed pitcher/first baseman/outfielder, who began his career in 1953 with West Chevrolet Little League, Canton Road Pony League and at Mogadore High and Post# 209 where he developed into one of the county's best pitchers. He was the last athlete to earn nine varsity letters at Akron U (football & baseball), led the Zips pitching with a 1.58 ERA in 1960 and a 1.01 ERA in 1962. Continued in AA ball with Akron Co-op, Tiny's and Red Peppers while taking coaching stints at Ohio U and Akron U. Made numerous All-Star teams at the youth and high school level, including All-State in 1959, All-Ohio Conference with the Zips, and 1963 Zip Athlete of the Year. Tom was truly a versatile athlete and ballplayer.
Born in North Carolina but grew up playing baseball in the Chicago area where he developed as a versatile infielder, including a 1930 All-City second base season at Scherz High, at that time the largest high school in the country. From there he moved into pro ball with Greensboro and the Louisville Cardinals. After an arm injury cut short his pro career, Chuck moved to Akron and played with Goodyear and Golden Age in the A League. Chuck played second base for the Wingfoots during the late 30's and early 40's. He was an excellent fielder and clutch hitter. He moved on to become Goodyear's athletic and activities director.
Paul Carroll began his career on the sandlots of West Akron in the mid 1920's. He played on the Wright American Legion team as a youth. His hitting ability soon provided him with the opportunity to play for the legendary Killian Celtics, where his play caught the eye of the New York Yankee scouting staff. He was signed and sent to Butler, then to the Akron Yankees and to Charleston. He answered the call of the service for WW II, and played on several Air Force teams that were comprised of Major League players before going overseas. After the war he joined the Goodyear Wingfoots and had 3 good years, hitting well over .300. He then began a 10 year career of teaching, coaching and managing youth baseball on the west side. He has truly been an inspiration to many youngsters.
An outstanding infielder who could handle the second or third base spots with ease, John hit the sandlots of North Hill with St. Anthony youth teams and developed into a top-notch fielder and clutch hitter with four fine years each at St. Vincent High and Akron University. While becoming a Zip team leader and All-Ohio Conference player, John moved into "AA" ball and had added success with Tiny's Orphans, Krispy Kreme, Souvenir Beer and Howe Construction teams. He concluded his career as a baseball player with the Borden Autos, before becoming one of the city's premier high school coaches.
Primarily a shortstop who also saw duty at third & second, his career began in early forties with youth teams: Firestone Post 566, 209; Triplett Terriers, S.A. Merchants, Akron Yankees and was All-City for 1947 Garfield High District Champs. Played AA ball from 1946-1958 with Norka Plating, Krumroy Market, Borden Auto, Canton Rd. Furniture and Krispy Kreme. Led Borden in hitting in 1952 and played in many State and two national tournaments with Auto's, Furniture's and Kreme's. Craver had two trials for the pro's and was considered by his peers as a tough out.
A 5'10" 145-pound lefty who could fire heat and had excellent control, dominated Barberton Little League and Babe Ruth League play. Set records at Barberton High for most wins and strikeouts, was MVP 1961 All-Ohio game. Pitched 13 years AA ball, made seven All-Star teams; always among league leaders in ERA and K's. Pitched and won State AABC title game and won one game in Battle Creek for 1966 Black Labels. Also played for John Brown's, Nino's Lounge, Barberton-Portage, Magic City Lanes, Akron Insulating. After concluding his career in the Double A League he became a coach and Little League manager.
Began his career as an infielder with the National A.C. in the early 30's. Moving on to the Post 209 team of the 40's, he was a 3-sport, 4-year letterman in each at old Central High. He was recognized as All-City 3rd baseman on 2 occasions. In the Army he played on the base team which boasted of having 6 Major League players before serving overseas, where he received the Silver Star Medal for Valor. He returned to Akron AA League with the VFW team 1070 and Army-Navy Post 273. He wound up his playing days with Tiny's Orphans. His lifetime batting average was over .300.
A tough, hard-nosed catcher who played on winning teams throughout his career beginning in 1932 with Akron Rangers and Champion Hub Cafe teams. The West High grad also performed for tournament tested teams Akron Yankee Jrs., Mayflower Hotel and Golden Age. Competed in NABF tourney in Washington in 1939 with Mayflower's City title team. Bob was an excellent receiver with a strong throwing arm. He was Frank Stefko's (also a Hall of Famer) favorite catcher.
Had an excellent career as an umpire on the local sandlots and collegiate level from 1956 through 1984. Began umpiring in the youth city and Cuyahoga Falls leagues in '56; began working the high schools in 1960 and moved into the college and AA ranks in 1963. Bill's ability to control the game is legendary, yet he firmly believed the game was for the players and he got great satisfaction out of doing his chosen work.
Ernie is being inducted into this Hall of Fame as a manager of several championship teams through all levels of Akron area baseball. He learned the ropes as a player at South High in 1936 & '37, being All-City in '37. Played with Simpson Marked before a 6-year stint in the Marine Corp. where he played and managed the Quantico Base team. On returning home he managed and coached several W.A.B.L. teams, helping develop many of the AA stars. His success as a talent developer can be attested to by his sons, one of whom is still in the big league. Art is now bullpen coach of the Oakland A's and spent eight years as the Chicago White Sox catcher.
An outstanding catcher in the Barberton Youth Leagues and at Barberton High. Also played two years with Kenmore Tavern and Akron Orphans before joining the professional ranks and having an excellent career with the Cleveland Indians, Washington Senators, Minnesota Twins, including World Series appearances with the Indians as a player and with the Twins and Detroit Tigers as a coach. Also helped promote and sponsor youth baseball in the Barberton area for many years. Hal continues his support of baseball in this area, and of former players through the Minor League insurance programs.
A Greenfield, Mass. high school third baseman who went on to Amherst College for four years varsity and senior captain (1906-13). Signed by Detroit Tigers out of Amherst and after stint with Tigers played three years in New York State League before turning to coaching on industrial level. Formed Gordon Drug Aces B team in Akron in 1933 as a sponsor and manager and also worked with Akron Jays, Sohio A.C. and the Killian Celtics. Was elected to the all time 100 year Amherst-Williams Baseball Team. He didn't limit his instructional talents to his own teams, but gave advice freely to opponents who sought his knowledge of the game. He joins his sons Hal & Stan in our Hall of Fame.
Played on youth teams in Cleveland area. Was outstanding shortstop, hitter and base runner at Parma Sr. High (1963-66) and at Kent State U (1966-70), where he led Flashes in stolen bases, runs scored and hitting ('69-70).398 average. Became All-Star shortstop/centerfielder with Champion Akron Insulating teams, 1970-1975. He led the powerful insulating team in batting with a .398 average in 1970. This was quite an accomplishment in view of the team's roster of all-stars.
A lefty swinging, solid defensive outfielder for 20 years on the Akron sandlots played with Champion National A.C. and American Legion youth teams and Gray's IGA; South High ('38-41), then with Orphans (1942). Served in Navy '43-46, Firestone Local #5 1946, Kenmore Tavern ('47-48) and Akron U where he lettered three years. He played with Norka Plating and Havre Chevy ('48-50); and with Champion Borden Autos, Souvenir Beer, Old Dutch Beer, Canton Road Furniture before ending with Howe construction and Zoff Heating in '55-56. Was named to four all-star teams. Also umpired for 22 years on local & collegiate level.
Bob Smith may be best remembered by most Akron citizens as a highly respected sheriff from 1944 until 1952, but members of the baseball community will recall his dedication to Akron's youth. He sponsored all sorts of youth activities, but primarily his AA League entries claimed the most attention. The "Sheriff's" team of 1948-1952 may well have been the finest ever assembled here. There are 14 members already in this Hall of Fame and several more potential prospects may be honored in years to come. Bob believed that keeping our youth busy and occupied in an orderly pursuit would keep them out of trouble. He practiced that attitude combined with his love of baseball in sponsoring his teams. He was indeed far ahead of his time.
Pete began early years as second baseman with P.A.L., Post 209, Moores Wrestlers; was All-City shortstop at Hower High (1949-52); played short and caught for Otterbein College (1954-55) where he led O.C. in home runs in '54. In AA ball he played with Old Dutch Beer, St. Mary's ('52 Champs), Wenham Trucking; was all-star shortstop for Old Dutch title team ('56) and played for Howe Construction, Krispy Kreme, Zoff's, and 1960-61 Black Label title teams. Pete was a fierce competitor & dangerous hitter with men on base.
Sponsor of The West Chevrolets. Mr. West's dedication to helping the youth of his communities is well documented, but probably no more so than in sponsoring teams in the Greater Akron Baseball Leagues. His time and monetary aid spent in building fields and supplying teams is legendary. There are currently 12 members of this Hall of Fame, who played on his teams. One of his managers, Joe Winkler, is a Charter Inductee of the Hall. His teams won more than eight championships in the Akron Leages and the Northeastern Ohio Leagues. Mr Glen West still continues the sponsorship of youth activities in the Mogadore community by allowing golf and bowling privileges at West's Mogadore Country Club.
An intelligent, strong catcher, Stan developed his prowess in baseball by becoming one of the best ever athletes in the State of Ohio. Not only was he to become All-Ohio in baseball, but in football and basketball as well and the only Ohioan to play in all three prep all-star games his senior season. An All-Metro selection while at Kent Roosevelt High, Stan led the Riders in hitting while also honing his defensive skills as a pro-prospect catcher. He was a three-time all-star in AA action and a .400 hitter for Nino's Lounge, Magic City Lanes, and Akron Insulating teams.
|JAMES "JIM" WORKMAN A smooth-as-silk infielder who began playing in the youth leagues in Grove City where he became a high school all-star. Played four years at Ohio U (was All-Mac, 1967). Moved to Akron and became all-star shortstop and second baseman with Black Labels ('68-'69), Wayne Knolls ('70), and Eaton Sports Pride ('71-'75). Led "AA" League in hitting in 1970 (.390); Had a career .330 average; made only one error in 50 games in 1973; played on six championship teams and four all-star teams.

'Saturday Night Live': Melissa McCarthy goes for brokeAdd to Favorites | Saturday Night Live
If "Saturday Night Live" were an athletic contest, the color commentator for this week's show would have said host Melissa McCarthy left it all on the stage. The "Mike & Molly" Emmy winner and "Bridesmaids" star threw herself completely into every sketch she did.
Hosts who are game for anything often make for very funny episodes, but this one didn't sustain itself. McCarthy was clearly having a ball, and that counts for something, but more than one sketch fell kind of flat. Thoughts on the second "SNL" of the season (video to come Sunday morning):
The good
Cold open: We're suckers for the "Lawrence Welk Show" sketches, because we like watching Kristen Wiig act like a complete weirdo. McCarthy joined her in crazy this time (the clip is at the top of the post), chopping through logs with her teeth and playing Kick the Crow. The fact that Fred Armisen's Welk is now onto the antics of these female singers from the Finger Lakes was a nice touch.
Monologue: The non-dance dancing McCarthy did with Wiig was loose and goofy and pretty charming, including the silhouette bit where they let two actual dancers take over for a minute.
Li'l Poundcake: A really fine commercial parody about a doll whose hair really grows, has her own phone and injects girls under 10 with HPV vaccine. Topical and smartly detailed -- loved the way the side effects were incorporated into the happy Li'l Poundcake song:
Office romance: McCarthy's go-for-broke approach was on full display here as she channeled her "Bridesmaids" character a little into an office worker who has it bad -- really, really bad -- for the guy at the next desk. Balloons were licked, ties were used inappropriately. Objectively it wasn't even all that funny, but we were laughing in spite of ourselves as McCarthy kept ratcheting things up. See for yourself:
Terrible lovers: The last sketch of the night took the simple setup of a guy trying to pick up a woman in a bar and ran with the lame line, "I've never had any complaints" -- in fact, Don and his super-dinky wiener have had lots of of complaints, and McCarthy's female character is no A student either. Coming at the end of an otherwise high-pitched episode, it was a nice (and funny) change of pace.
'Weekend Update'
The guest segments -- Gaddafi's best friends and Tyler Perry -- weren't great, but Seth Meyers otherwise had a pretty good night behind the desk. Our favorite lines:
- "On this week's 'Dancing With the Stars,' Nancy Grace exposed her nipple at the end of her number. She had to expose ti, because she believes it has something it's not telling her about the Natalee Holloway case."
- "A study shows women who drink four cups of coffee a day are 20 percent less likely to suffer from depression -- unless drinking coffee was something the two of you used to do together."
- On a study showing unprotected sex among teenagers in France has gone up 111 percent: "Of course in France, 'unprotected sex' just means 'no deodorant.'
Musical guest Lady Antebellum
The country stars performed two of their hits, "Own the Night" and "Just a Kiss," and they sounded fine, but they also sounded like pretty much every other time we've seen them perform on television.
The not-so-good
"The Comments Section": It was like a four-minute version of "H8R," minus the demi-celebrities. We don't like Internet trolls either, but a sketch about mean-spirited Internet commenters should probably feel like something more than, well, a mean-spirited Internet comment.
Digital short - "Stomp": A somewhat promising setup ("Stomp" is just far enough outside the zeitgeist to be absurdly funny) gets wasted when Andy Samberg and Bill Hader decide to shoot the Blue Man Group a thousand times.
"Rock's Way": Jay Pharaoh is a gifted impressionist, but we found ourselves mostly thinking about how underused Chris Rock was during his time on "SNL" in the early '90s.
Hidden Valley Ranch focus group and TCM/Lulu Diamond: Again, McCarthy was game for anything, but the one note in each sketch got played a couple times too many. Although Jason Sudeikis' closing line in the TCM sketch -- "[Lulu] died as she lived -- on all fours with three closeted gay actors staring at her butt" -- was pretty funny. Here's the TCM sketch:
What did you think of "SNL" this week? Did you enjoy Melissa McCarthy's up-for-anything attitude?

Figures recently released by the GSMA highlight that in the UK, Apple's mobile operating system accounts for 65 percent of connected application users.
The news comes in the GSMA's Mobile Media Metrics, which is compiled along with comScore. According to the report, while Apple's iOS (running on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch) accounts for 65 percent of connected applications, Google's Android OS accounts for more than half that amount – 31 percent.
However, Symbian – despite being present on 23.6 percent of smart phones – accounted for just one percent of connected application users, according to the study.
Obviously, this shows that Apple's mobile devices are popular in the UK. Furthermore, it helps us understand why so many developers have "iOS tunnel vision." According to the Guardian:
To put it bluntly, according to these stats, there are more than 5.7 million iPhone owners using connected apps in the UK, versus 2.7 million Android users and 119,000 Symbian users.
Given the choice, who would you develop for? As of this moment, in the UK, Apple's mobile operating system is where the market is. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Midwest Living Review
It's not uncommon for customers of Bangles boutique to shop for what owner Paulette Domke is wearing. Her store reflects her sense of eclectic, relaxed style. The artsy Valparaiso boutique carries indie designer clothing and accessories Paula picks up at shows in New York and Chicago. Bangles' killer casual clothes easily dress up or down, with designer accessories starting at $40. (Think chunky beaded and natural stone necklace or big buckled belt.) Paula helps customers see a core piece's multiple possibilities. She wanders about the shop pulling scarves, jackets, jewelry and sweaters changing a look in an instant. The flowing, linen sack dress with embroidered flowers on the straps goes easily from backyard barbecue to summer wedding shower with the addition of a retro-chic macrame vest. New shipments arrive almost weekly, the perfect excuse for fashionistas in the area to stop by often. Like girlfriends do, they advise each other on what looks best and catch up on town events all in the same sentence. Chicagoans with weekend beach houses shop Bangles for threads and baubles. Prices are reasonable compared to big-city boutiques, especially during Bangles' late-summer sale.

The main players in the Penn State scandal:
Role: Former assistant football coach and founder of The Second Mile charity for children, convicted of molesting 10 boys over a 15-year period.
The main players in the Penn State scandal:
Role: Former assistant football coach and founder of The Second Mile charity for children, convicted of molesting 10 boys over a 15-year period.
Background: Arrested in November after a long investigation by a statewide grand jury. He had been a successful defensive coach for the Nittany Lions for 30 years, and prosecutors say he used his fame in the community and his charity to attract victims.
Charges: Involuntary deviate sexual intercourse, indecent assault of a young child, unlawful contact with minors, corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of children.
Status: Sandusky was sentenced Tuesday to 30 to 60 years in prison. He will likely die in prison, according to the judge.
Role: Married to Jerry Sandusky.
Background: Dottie Sandusky has stood by her husband, posting his bail when he was released before trial, accompanying him to court proceedings and issuing a statement in December that proclaimed his innocence and said accusers were making up stories. She wasn't charged and testified at his trial that she never saw him doing anything inappropriate with boys he brought to their home.
Role: Penn State's longtime president, he was forced out by university trustees after Sandusky's arrest in November but remains a tenured faculty member.
Background: An investigation led by ex-FBI director Louis Freeh concluded that Spanier failed in his duties as president by not informing the board of trustees about the allegations against Sandusky or about the subsequent grand jury investigation. Spanier told investigators he wasn't notified of any criminal behavior by Sandusky during his 16 years as president. He has not been charged with any crime but is accused in a whistle-blower lawsuit against the university of making statements that harmed the reputation of Mike McQueary. McQueary, since fired by the university, was an assistant who told longtime coach Joe Paterno he saw Sandusky with a boy in a team shower in 2001, and who now says Spanier and other administrators have made him a scapegoat.
Role: Leader of an investigative team tasked with determining how the abuse occurred and recommending changes, as well as reviewing Penn State's handling of sex crimes and misconduct accusations.
Background: Freeh, a former federal judge who spent eight years as director of the FBI, was hired by Penn State's board of trustees in June. His firm produced a 267-page report that said Spanier, Paterno, Athletic Director Tim Curley and Vice President Gary Schultz "repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse."
Role: Penn State athletic director, on leave while he fights criminal charges for actions related to the Sandusky scandal.
Background: Curley fielded McQueary's complaint about Sandusky in a team shower with a boy in early 2001, and told a grand jury he instructed Sandusky not to be inside Penn State athletic facilities with any young people.
Charges: Failure to properly report suspected child abuse and perjury for lying to the grand jury. He wasn't on trial with Sandusky, denies the allegations and unsuccessfully sought to have the perjury charge dismissed. A judge is expected to rule on the failure to report charge before Curley stands trial in January along with Schultz. Freeh's report concluded that Curley and others at Penn State concealed child sex abuse allegations against Sandusky.
Role: Penn State vice president for business and finance, now retired.
Background: Schultz told the grand jury that Paterno and McQueary reported the 2001 shower incident "in a very general way" but did not provide details.
Charges: Failure to properly report suspected child abuse and perjury for lying to the grand jury. He wasn't on trial with Sandusky, denies the allegations and failed to have the perjury charge dismissed. A judge is expected to rule on a request to dismiss the failure to report charge before Schultz stands trial in January along with Curley. Freeh's report said Schultz was among the Penn State officials who hid child sex abuse allegations against Sandusky.

After revamping Gmail, YouTube, and Shopper and releasing Maps to generally favorable reaction, Google has now substantially updated the iOS app for its "additive" social network.
The latest update to Google+ for iOS also delivers a refreshed interface, which, I should point out, is rather nice and, er, refreshing.
Beyond that, the update brings a number of new features, foremost of which is support for Google+ Communities.
Launched just last week, Communities lets you interact with other like-minded people through public or private conversations. It's a lot like the Groups feature in Facebook, that other social network you might have already heard of.
Also added through the app's new update is the ability to subscribe to any circle for notifications. Just go the Settings section of the app, tap the Circle subscriptions option under Alerts, and toggle your subscription to any of your Circles.
Furthermore, the ability to indicate how many guests you're bringing to an event has also been added. Support for time zones in Events is also a plus.
Basic profile editing, a new compose UI, a redesigned visual stream, and a new Find People section are the other significant pluses in the latest version of Google+.
Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, Google+ is available in the App Store for free.

What is the University of Pikeville Army ROTC?
The University of Pikeville Army ROTC is a program of leadership and military skills training. It prepares Pikeville students for Officer responsibilities in the Army National Guard, Reserve and Active Army following graduation.
How can the University of Pikeville Army ROTC benefit me?
The University of Pikeville Army ROTC can help you be successful during college and after graduation. You will quickly gain confidence and self-discipline necessary to progress in your studies at the University of Pikeville, while acquiring leadership skills and credentials that will impress employers when you graduate. Additionally, you will earn opportunities to serve your country as an Army Officer.
Course Experiences
Leadership development that lasts a lifetime.
The University of Pikeville ROTC is an elective curriculum you take along with your required college classes. It prepares you with the tools, training and experiences that will help you succeed in any competitive environment. Along with great leadership training, Army ROTC can pay for your college tuition, too. You will have a normal college student experience like everyone else on campus, but when you graduate, you will be an Officer in the Army.
What it means to be an Army Officer?
Being an Officer in the U.S. Army means you're a leader, a counselor, a strategist and a motivator. It's similar to being a vital manager in a corporation. As an Officer, you will lead other soldiers in all situations and adjust in environments that are always changing. Officer's are driven to achieve success with their team on every mission.
University of Pikeville ROTC benefits
Army ROTC is one of the nation's top leadership programs, with many benefits to joining. Through Army ROTC you can:
Your commitment to the Army
Army ROTC students who receive an Army ROTC scholarship or enter the Army ROTC Advanced Course must agree to complete a period of service with the Army.
You can serve full-time in the Army for three years (four years for scholarship winners).
Cadets may choose to serve part-time in the U.S. Army Reserve or Army National Guard while pursuing a civilian career.
It's an experience that you can't get anywhere else, and your leadership skills will be challenged every day. Contact your campus Military Science department for more specific details on your Army ROTC service commitment. Enrolling in the Army ROTC Basic Course does not involve a commitment of service to the Army unless you have received an Army ROTC scholarship.
Army scholarships
Whether you're a college-bound high school student or already attending a college or university, Army ROTC has scholarships available. Scholarships are awarded based on a student's merit and grades, not financial need. Army ROTC scholarships are valuable in many ways:
Living expense
Army ROTC scholarships also provide monthly living allowances for each school year. You can earn certain amounts depending on your level in the Army ROTC curriculum:
How do the University of Pikeville Army ROTC courses fit in?
Army ROTC involves one course and lab on campus each semester. Introductory no-obligation courses satisfy the University of Pikeville requirements for general electives.
Basic Courses (freshmen and sophomore years)
Advanced Courses (junior and senior years)
Each basic and advanced course also includes a one-credit lab involving military skills and training and adventure activities such as mountaineering and rifle marksmanship.

Modern Studies
The term "modern" has been used to express admiration, confusion, or derision in relation to a great range of cultural experiments in literature, art, music, and theater that characterized the period from about 1848 to 1960. Modern artwork was most often marked by stylistic innovations—ruptures in temporal/spatial continuity, the disavowal of linear narrative, the assertion of the new and the abstract. In both form and content, modern art responded to Arthur Rimbaud's dictum: "It is necessary to be absolutely modern." Thus modern artworks and the cult of the avant-garde that grew up around them can also be correlated to the historical changes associated with modernity: The development of capitalism and technology, urban life, world wars, imperialism, democratic movements, and the rise of feminism. This concentration offers students the opportunity to consider modern art and its relationship to the forces that produced it in various countries and at different historical moments.
A minimum of 16 credits is required for the concentration, eight of which must be taken in courses at the 300-level or above. Courses used to fulfill the concentration must be drawn from at least two areas of study (e.g., history and literature, or art history and music, or art history and French).

This is a good day. The sun's shining, the air pleasingly temperate. A keen little roadster is no more or less of a car than I want or need. Only two seats, but that's enough today. It's no supercar, but it is, to use that awful phrase, as fast as conditions allow. (And then some.) The roads are winding and inviting but narrow and a bit bumpy, so I'm happy this isn't a low or wide machine. The countryside is lovely, and the smells are of early spring. On the surface then, living the dream. But it's not a dream that features in many people's consciousness.
If something is scarce, is that because it's exclusive or because it's a failure? Take a small hatch-derived two-seat roadster. The Renault Wind has just parped its last - they've withdrawn it from the UK for lack of interest. The days of the Ford StreetKa and Fiat Barchetta are well behind us. Anyone remember the Honda CRX del Sol? As a rule, these little cars don't succeed.
But, generally, the BMW-Mini group has the knack of going where others can't, and people lap it up. There have been exceptions - can't remember my last sighting of a 5-Series GT, and the Mini Clubman isn't exactly thick on the ground - but if you were to bet on any company successfully venturing into a segment where others fail, you'd bet on this team.
So what's a Mini Roadster? While some Minis are obliquely named (like the Paceman), this one is clear. It's a Mini with two seats and a simple ragtop. Except for more prominent plastic lower spoilers and sills, the front half of the bodywork is exactly as per the regular hatch or the four-seat Convertible, for that matter. The rear end and the steeply raked windscreen are shared with the new two-seat Coupe. So you read that right: the Mini hatch has spawned two different convertibles, a four-seater and this two-seater. And the one isn't a replacement for the other. They'll continue in parallel.
This makes a heck of a lot of Minis. Hatch, Convertible, Clubman, Coupe, Roadster. (Never mind the taller ones - the Countryman and, later this year, its spin-off, the crossover-coupe Paceman.) It takes a trained eye to spot the difference between all these Minis. And, by the same token, I'm not going to come up with any surprises as to how this one behaves. It's largely a matter of nuance.
Without a back seat, there's a place for extra bracing metal across the car behind the seats, stiffening the shell. It also retains the bolstered sills of the Convertible. But you can still see the reflection in the rear-view mirror blurring over bumpy roads. The body, then, is rigid enough, rather than rigid.
A pop-up spoiler on top of the bootlid is there to keep things straight at speed. Well, if it isn't that that's doing it, something is, because it doesn't wander. Roof down, the in-cockpit aero is another success. At motorway speed, you can still hear the stereo, and your head doesn't get jellied by turbulence. The heater and the cheek-fryingly effective seat-heaters can do their work. The laid-back windscreen might be good for aero and style, but it brings the screen pillars close to your head and turns them into significant obstructions to your vision. Still, the view backward is better than in a Convertible because the roof tucks away flat. Big style bonus there: after all, the Convertible looks a bit of a pram. The Roadster's roof itself is a simple single-layer canvas job, with its frame bars visible inside. So what? It's very well sealed. And it operates electrically as standard.
I'm in a Cooper S on 16-inch wheels. That's enough. The extra power of the JCW - or the unforgiving nature of wider and lower-profile tyres on, say, 18s - wouldn't suit. Not with these lumpy roads, anyway. There's already torque steer when you nail it. As with the Coupe, a slightly stiffened suspension is supposed to mean 'sporty handling', but, in the Roadster's case, it can't make up for the body twist, which costs precision.
Even so, you can enjoy corners - it understeers a bit, but is sensitive to the accelerator and tucks in energetically when you lift. You feel what it's up to through the seat not your hands, as - like all R56-generation Minis - the wheel is quick and accurate but numb. The torque steer, the occasional clonk from the suspension, the unsettled ride and the numb steering are all reminders that the Mini is getting on a bit and the all-new hatchback is due in just a year.
Despite these dynamic setbacks, you can have fun with it. Get the new 184bhp engine on boost, wind some revs into it, and you're propelled by a wave of exertion. It's easy to get the best out of a Mini, because it tells you what it's doing.
But what it is not is a sports roadster. And here we come to the big elephant in the corner of the room, waiting to squat on and crush every little front-drive convertible. It's the Mazda MX-5. Because this is a Mini, you don't sit low and snug. You aren't over the back wheels, and there isn't a long bonnet ahead of you. It doesn't have the steering purity of a rear-driver, or the slickness of gearchange. The Mazda is simply more special. The Mini feels like the last Mini you drove.
But that's the deal. It wraps you in the mental comfort blanket that Mini means. And, yes, there are Minis everywhere, but - look at me! - this one's a two-seater... it's a statement of individuality for conformists. Baby steps to freedom.
Paul Horrell
The numbers
1598cc, 4cyl FWD, 184bhp, 177lb ft, 47.1mpg, 139g/km CO2, 0-62 in 7.0secs, 141mph, 1260kg
The verdict
Feels like a Mini, but looks slicker without the child-size rear seats. But why not go the whole MX-5 hog?

Town of Erwin Historical Commission Mission Statement:
To identify and document events, individuals, institutions, buildings, historical sites and other resources that have given our town a distinctive character. To further the possibilities for historical understanding, heritage tourism, business opportunities and community pride, while encouraging public and organizational participation. We seek to obtain the support from local, corporate, state and federal partnerships, for the preservation, conservation and interpretation of the history of the Town of Erwin.
The Town of Erwin
By A. Christine Tipton
The history of Erwin, as a town, began with the creation of Unicoi County in 1875. The new county, created from Washington and Carter Counties, had become functional by January of 1876, and needed a central location for a county seat. The site that was decided upon would eventually become the thriving and beautiful Town of Erwin.
The area had a long history before the beginning of the town. We cannot know how long the land had been occupied by Native Americans, but we do know that the Cherokee were the last tribe to use the region as their hunting grounds. Residents of Erwin today are still discovering arrowheads in their gardens and flowerbeds.
Long hunters and settlers moved into the valley in the 1770s. Militia groups formed, taxes were collected, a church was built along North Indian Creek at its junction with the Nolichucky River and wagon roads were developed. The Linear Walking Trail in present-day Erwin meanders along where the activity took place in the late 1700s and 1800s.
Men from the area fought at the Battle of King's Mountain in the American Revolution, in the War of 1812, and a later generation suffered the consequences of divided loyalties in the Civil War. Many of the last names from those periods can still be found on addresses in contemporary
Unicoi County and its county seat were formed during the Reconstruction era when leaders had to overcome their bitterness from the Civil War for the sake of their community.
Before becoming a town site, the area had been identified with other names for the purpose of postal designations: Greasy Cove, Unaka or Unika, and Longmire. Joseph Longmire had been a postmaster and it was on his farm, that had been purchased by David J.N. Ervin, that a large portion of the new town would be laid out.
An advertisement for land sales in a newly formed town directed potential buyers to Longmire's on March 6, 1876. The Commissioners of Unicoi County directed the County Surveyor, David J. White to lay out the perimeters of the town with numbered lots and a reserved space for the Courthouse and Publick Square. His series of town plats were from February 6 to March 24, 1876. On his last plat of March 24, which is the official plat in the Deeds Office, the name of the town was written as Vanderbilt.
Apparently decisions had already been made about the location of the county seat when the survey directive was given to White. On February 9, donations of land were recorded from David J.N. Ervin and William and Nancy Love. On February 19, Gutheridge Garland donated land. The proceeds from the sales were to go for the construction of a courthouse and public buildings.
A total of 37 acres was offered for sale at public outcry. Ervin had donated 30 acres, with one half of the sale to go to him, the Love's had donated 5 acres and Garland donated 2 acres. On the day of the sale, 47 of the lots with different sizes of acreage sold for prices ranging from $75 to $300.
The name of the Post Office was changed from Longmire to Vanderbilt on March 27, 1876. Sawmills, blacksmiths and merchants were ready for business. The first meeting of officials in a new courthouse was on July 3, 1876.
The town's name of Vanderbilt would last for three years. According to local lore, the name Vanderbilt was chosen in hopes of attracting land purchases and development from George Vanderbilt, who was rumored to have an interest in real estate in the region. When Mr. Vanderbilt purchased his property in the Asheville area, the name Vanderbilt was replaced in 1879.
On March 14, 1879, the Legislature changed the name from Vanderbilt to Ervin in honor of David J.N. Ervin. The post office name was changed from Vanderbilt to Erwin on December 5, 1879. If the difference in the names was a postal error, the mistake was one that was not corrected. For many years there was confusion between the two names and both names would be used.
The matter of an official name for the town was resolved on April 21, 1891, when a charter of incorporation was given to the Town of Erwin. The charter shows that Erwin had extended its perimeters, more than doubling the original beginnings as the county seat in 1876.
A list of qualified voters for 1891 was 69. On May 12, 1892, an elected Board of Mayor and Aldermen met to elect Daniel Calloway as the Marshal and W.T. Davis as the Recorder. There are very few records of our early history as a town in existence.
To get a feel for the time, visit the Unicoi County Chamber of Commerce, located on Main Avenue and Gay Street in the J.F. Toney Building, built in 1892. This is the town's oldest business structure. The building was the office for Toney's newspaper, The Erwin Magnet, from 1891 to 1927, and a space for other businesses.
By 1910, the population of Erwin was 1,149 and a new era of railroads and other business developments were about to transform the look and success of Erwin. The boom times were just beginning.

They are in Libya to take part in the 25th edition of the African Cup of Nations in basketball.
The Indomitable Lions of basketball left the country last Sunday for Tripoli-Libya to take part in the 25th edition of the African Cup of Nations to run from August 5 to 15. The basketball lions left with a firm determination to perform better than the last edition of the competition in Angola when they were vice African champion. "We are going to Libya to repeat the exploit of 2007," said team captain, Brice Vounang. "I can say on behalf of my team mates that we are ready for the competition. Our moral is high," he added.
Speaking during the send-off ceremony at the Hotel de Depute last Sunday, the Minister of Sports and Physical Education, Michel Zoah, urged the players to be disciplined and do their best to defend the national colours saying the government had done what was necessary to ensure that the players train under good conditions.
The squad, made of 12 players, left the country after a 28-day training camp in Yaounde where they benefitted from the ultra modern sports facility offered by the Yaounde Sports Complex. The training was initially scheduled to take place in Italy where it would culminate in Cameroon's participation in a basketball competition with European clubs. But the basketball Lions under a new coach, Joe Touomou, opted to train at home and was replaced by their future opponent, Senegal who used the Euro basket competition to prepare for Afrobasket 2009. Cameroon's other pool C opponents include Central African Republic and Congo who equally prepared for the tournament in Europe.
The squad, to take part in the Libyan expedition, is virtually the same as the one that took part in the Angolan expedition but for the absence of a key player like Luc Richard Mbah and the coach who took the Lions to the finals in 2007, Lazare Adingono. They are also new comers who had hitherto turned down calls to join the national selection such as Ruben Boumtje who plays for Ewe Baskets in Oldenburg-Germany. "Things were done differently this time and the players are happy about the preparation. I think there is evolution" said Joe Touomou who happens to also be the coach for the female national basketball team and qualified the lionesses for Afrobasket in Madagascar in 2009.

Fiscal Year 2013: Year in Review
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2013, USAID/OFDA responded to 52 humanitarian emergencies in 40 countries, assisting tens of millions of disaster-affected individuals around the world.
More than 40 percent of USAID/OFDA's FY 2013 funding supported humanitarian programs in Africa. In Sudan and South Sudan, USAID/OFDA responded to displacement, food insecurity, and lack of basic services, such as health care and safe drinking water, largely a result of protracted conflict. When Darfur experienced intensified fighting during the year, USAID/OFDA supported rapid, life-saving interventions for severely affected populations. USAID/OFDA also met conflict-related emergency needs in the Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, and Somalia, while assisting drought-affected populations in the Horn of Africa and the Sahel recover livelihoods and build resilience to future shocks. In Southern Africa, USAID/OFDA expanded emergency programs in response to increased food insecurity caused by flooding, a locust outbreak, and drought that affected more than 10 million people in the region.
USAID/OFDA provided nearly $252.3 million—the most funding for a single disaster in FY 2013— to support individuals affected by the crisis in Syria, which extended into its third year and left 6.8 million people in need of humanitarian aid. USAID/OFDA continued its response through local partners, international relief organizations, and U.N. agencies, prioritizing the delivery of relief commodities and support for emergency medical care. To better coordinate assistance with other international humanitarian agencies, USAID activated a Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART) in the region and a Response Management Team (RMT) in Washington, D.C. Elsewhere in the Europe, Middle East, and Central Asia region, USAID/OFDA assisted vulnerable and food-insecure populations in Yemen affected by ongoing conflict and poor economic conditions, and helped Yemenis returning to secure areas of the country restore their livelihoods.
In Asia, USAID/OFDA supported populations affected by complex emergencies in Afghanistan, Burma, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. In addition, USAID/OFDA responded to humanitarian needs arising from natural disasters, including drought, floods, tropical storms, and a dengue fever outbreak. In the Republic of the Marshall Islands, a former U.S.-governed trust territory, USAID/OFDA worked closely with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide relief supplies and safe drinking water to communities affected by severe drought conditions. USAID/OFDA also implemented numerous disaster risk reduction (DRR) programs in Asia to strengthen local disaster response capacity and promote techniques to mitigate the effects of disasters.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, USAID/OFDA responded to emergency needs resulting from floods, tropical storms, and an earthquake. USAID/OFDA also prioritized DRR programs in the region, investing in local capacity to prepare for and mitigate the potential negative impacts of future disasters, including through the improvement of community-based early warning systems.
USAID/OFDA provided $883 million in FY 2013, including nearly $593 million for disaster response activities. The majority of these interventions saved lives while promoting early recovery and building resilience to future stresses. In FY 2013, USAID/OFDA also contributed more than $83 million in DRR funding to help communities across the world prepare for and mitigate the effects of disasters, as well as approximately $130 million for disaster response programs that incorporated DRR activities.

Ancient Greeks/Modern Lives Follow-up
September 12, 2012 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm
Event Navigation
As a follow-up to the popular Ancient Greeks/Modern Lives program that was held here in the Spring, GVSU Professor Diane Rayor will be offering two sessions at the Grand Rapids Public Library in September on Euripides' Medea. In each session participants will listen an audio recording of the Heritage Theatre production and then discuss it.
The program will prepare the audience for Award-winning writer, critic and translator Daniel Mendelsohn's presentation "Medea on the Jersey Shore: Tragedy and the Crisis of Reality in Contemporary Culture" September 20 at GVSU.
A princess in her own land, Medea sacrificed everything for Jason. She helped Jason in his quest for the Golden Fleece, eloped with him, and bore him two sons. When Jason betrays her by leaving to marry the ticket to the throne—King Kreon's only child—Medea contemplates the ultimate retribution. Euripides' most enduring Greek tragedy is a fascinating and disturbing story of how far a woman will go to take revenge in a man's world.

Network Security with Performance
In response to the ever growing and changing threat landscape, network security appliances have become more sophisticated and powerful. They incorporate advanced techniques such as deep packet inspection (DPI) and massive parallel processing.
Individual appliances, such as firewalls, IDS/IPS, anti-virus, anti-spam and data loss prevention systems, have given way to modern universal threat management (UTM) systems. UTM systems come in all sizes: from small desktop units, to rack-mounted, multi-unit, multi-10 Gigabit systems. Witness the 160 Gbps demonstration of SonicWALL'sSuperMassive E10000 system at RSA, incidentally tested with Ixia appliances.
In evaluation network security solutions one measurement that is often overlooked is "good" traffic performance. A security appliance that is so busy looking for malware or fending off an attack that it can't maintain throughput for critical business applications is of little use. One could argue, in fact, that such a security appliance had been defeated – effectively denying service to its users.
Intrusion protection is a tricky matter, often requiring (relatively) long term storage while looking for a signature or other pattern. Many, many signatures or other techniques must be applied to determine if the contents of a stream is malware. Line-rate traffic can consume massive amounts of memory and CPU cycles – which must be balanced with handling of "good" traffic.
The evaluation of network security appliances, therefore, must include performance measurement while under attack – at line-rate. Just as security testing uses deliberately constructed test traffic, so "good" traffic load must be constructed to realistically emulate the type of traffic that the network security appliance is expected to handle. For example, if a UTM being evaluated also implements quality of service based on deep packet inspection, then it is essential that multiplay traffic of all types be statefully applied to the UTM for the performance measurement.
Network security testing is a very demanding task, requiring methodologies and equipment that matches the scale of modern security appliances.

Yesterday afternoon, Denhac received some highly anticipated, fabulous news!
In the mail, there was a letter from the IRS…an official letter awarding us the highly coveted 501(c)(3) charitable organization designation. While Denhac has always been a not-for-profit organization, we've been subject to income and sales tax on our day-to-day operations. Early on, we joined with School Factory – an amazing organization created to support and organize spaces just like Denhac – who was able to help us receive tax deductible donations over $250…for a fee. We gladly accepted their help and are grateful for the support they've provided us during the first few years of existence.
But now! Now we are able to solicit and receive tax deductible donations ourselves. We are able to qualify for sales tax exemption. We are able to do so much more because we have been recognized as a legitimate charitable organization! This means that every penny we receive through member dues and donations goes right back into the space! It goes toward equipment, classes, and events. Every cent goes back to you guys…our community…in making Denhac even better.
Consequently, we're in the mood to celebrate! And there seems to be no end to things we should celebrate lately…the 501(c)(3) designation, the new options for membership, the lack of snow predicted for this weekend, the start of spring and sunlit hours later. Pick a reason!
This Saturday, March 30, during open house from noon to 5, Denhac will throw open the bay door, let the spring air in, fire up the grill, and get our first grilled grub on of the season. We'll have burgers, veggie burgers, dogs, chips, dips, and cookies plus the refrigerator will be stocked with condiments and drinks. Bring a dish if you'd like to contribute a BBQ party fave. Or don't. We've got the basics covered.
Of course, donations are encouraged but not necessary.
What we really want is for you to come! We would sincerely just love to have you join the festivities around achieving this latest, greatest milestone.
So…come by! What are you waiting for?
PS I'd like to apologize for my overuse of the exclamation point in this post. I am just so excited!!! Heh.

The "Face Of" Humanity – unveiling our true identity.
What does the average face of humanity look like?
There is one photograph that truly answers that question.
In 2009 I created the Face of Humanity. 670 men and women were selected to proportionally represent the demographics of the world population as reported in 2009.
The subsequent merging of these portraits resulted in the composite Face of Humanity.
In 2007, after over twenty years behind the camera, I stopped photography for two years to write a book about my own creative journey as a photographer – At Any Given Moment
Part of that personal journey involved creating the Face of Humanity, a project motivated by the realization that our collective being could be represented photographically.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
David Trood
Almost everyone has an opinion about this image. If you have one, I would gladly love to hear it. Share it here on this blog!
David Trood
When we begin to realize what the Face of Humanity actually is, it goes from being just a blurry image of an unknown face, to an iconic image and a milestone in the understanding of who we are!
Pia Hardenberg
Astonishing – in this era of expanding worldwide spiritual consciousness, synthesis and longing for our origin source it is such a gift you have given us, David; the face of humanity. And who did I think of when seeing it with new eyes after having read your book? One of our word leaders comes very close…. With love & light Pia.
David Trood
The average face of humanity is an instant visual injection of understanding. That understanding can be different depending on where you are from, but for most people I think it tells a deeper story of who we are as a common identity.
With all the hype on the Internet about average and typical faces, it is wonderful to see an image that is based in real demographics. Thanks for showing us the portrati of the human "family."
Brothers and sisters I have none but that man there is my fathers son.
An amazing and interesting project,and I imagine a lot of exacting work David. Congratulations.

Wenatchee is a mountain gateway between western Washington and the agricultural areas of the Columbia Plateau to the east. The economy is supported mainly by agriculture and forest products.. The physical setting is attractive and the original downtown area is pleasant (winning a recent National Trust for Historic Preservation Great American Main Street Award).
Significant recreational opportunities are available in the Cascades to the west, starting with the funky European-style Leavenworth just 15 miles up the grade. Housing costs can be high for the type of area. Wenatchee is a bit isolated; the northern suburbs of Seattle and Everett are 150 miles west, and it is a long haul across the 4000-foot winter wonderland of Stevens Pass.
Wenatchee is located on a narrow Columbia River plain surrounded on all sides by mostly dry mountains and foothills of the Cascades. Elevations rise rapidly to 9000 feet to the west, giving heavy forestation, but of this is out of Wenatchee's view. The mountains create a deep rain shadow, giving plenty of sun and minimal precipitation, while the marine influence from the west creates a fairly stable and pleasant year-round climate.
As of 2014, Wenatchee's population is 31,956 people. Since 2000, it has had a population growth of 11.33 percent.
The median home cost in Wenatchee is $190,400. Home appreciation the last year has been 2.80 percent.
Compared to the rest of the country, Wenatchee's cost of living is 6.20% Higher than the U.S. average.
Wenatchee public schools spend $10,004 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $12,435. There are about 21.1 students per teacher in Wenatchee.
The unemployment rate in Wenatchee is 7.10 percent(U.S. avg. is 6.30%). Recent job growth is Negative. Wenatchee jobs have Decreased by 0.06 percent.

Video:How to Wash a Carwith JJ Burkart
Save money and give your car a professional car wash at home using a hose and two simple products.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Wash a CarHi, I'm J.J. Burkart for About.com Home. I'm going to show you how to wash and wax your car.
Car Wash ToolsYou will need:
- a garden hose with spray nozzle
- car wash soap
- wash mitt
- car wax
- clean cotton towels
Position Your Car for WashingThe first thing to do is to park your car in the shade to prevent spotting.
Car Wash Pre-rinseFirst mix the car wash soap and water in the bucket. Follow the portion instructions on the bottle. Now hose down the entire vehicle. Dip your wash mit in the bucket.
Car Wash MittWorking from the top down, thoroughly wash every inch of your vehicle. Rinse your mitt frequently, and change your soap and water to avoid scratching your car with dirt and sand particles. Double- sided wash mits are ideal. The cloth side won't scratch your paint job and the mesh side works great for headlights and windshields.
Car Wash RinseRinse with the hose. Dry the car with cotton towels. Use one dry towel to wipe up most of the water, and then go over it with a second dry towel. Spread the car wax evenly using a circular motion. Allow the wax to dry to a haze. Then buff the wax off with a cotton towel using the same circular motion. Wax on, wax off.
Washing Car WindowsLastly, wash your windows with glass cleaner to remove streaks and spots.

Apple's claims that the iPad Air is around twice as fast as the iPad 4 have been validated by Geekbench scores posted by Primate Labs. The iPad's multi-core performance score increased by 88 percent, while the single-core performance jumped by 90 percent …
Geekbench 3 is a set of processor speed tests based on real-world tasks, and so reflecting the performance a user can expect to experience in everyday use.
With these kind of results, it's perhaps unsurprising that Intel is joining the ARM party. CNET reports that the chipmaker has just announced it will be making its own 64-bit ARM processors, though it plans to push even further ahead: its chip will be quad-core, rather than the dual-core of the A7. Intel last made ARM chips back in 2007, when they were used in the Blackberry and Palm smartphones.
The benchmarks also reveal the dramatic difference between the iPad 2 – which Apple has retained as an entry-level full-sized iPad – and the Air: the Air is more than five times faster!
Primate Labs wonders why Apple has chosen to retain the older model given a relatively small price difference. We suspect it's a decision heavily influenced by the education market, a key focus for Apple, where a difference of $100 per student adds up to substantial sums.
Primate Labs show that Apple has pushed the A7 chip in the iPad Air to 1.4GHz, 100MHz faster than the iPhone 5s, and speculates that this is due to the larger battery, larger chassis (allowing for better cooling) or a mix of the two. As mentioned in our review roundup, AnandTech's tests suggest the latter may be a significant factor, performance in heavy-duty tasks dropping off only slightly over time compared to the iPhone 5s.
With this rate of progress, talk of future Macs running ARM chips instead of Intel ones does start to look a little less far-fetched. If the annual performance gains could be maintained, we'd have an ARM chip beating the performance of this year's MacBook Air in less than three years.
Of course, by then Intel performance would also have advanced significantly, but the idea of ARM chips closing the gap doesn't look to be an entirely crazy one.

The A7 has been a very impressive processor in the 5s thus far, so I'm looking forward to see what the future holds for ARM based chips.
In fact, last year, I said as much on my site http://www.tame-geek.co.uk/tech/apple-chips-the-move-from-intel-would-make-sense/
My iPad 3rd gen is getting a 766 in geek bench so now sure where these numbers are coming from.
Geekbench 2 (MacBook Air) and Geekbench 3 (iPad Air) are not comparable. Get a glance at primate labs blog.
Me and my iPad 3 are really sad.
So glad I bought the iPad 3 when it came out…oh wait…what a joke.
Wouldn´t it make sense to put an ARM Chip aside the Intel Chip?
Like they did with the M7 and the A7? It could do a lot of the "basic" tasks, for example Mail, web browsing and notifications. These Apps are already running on the A7, so it´s all about connecting the dots again.
Although it probably would be more radical and Apple style to replace the Intel Chip at all.
That would be a software developer's nightmare. Besides, ARM pretty much owns Intel when it comes to mobile and embedded devices…faster speeds, less power useage, less heat emission, better graphics…list goes on. This is why with Haswell Intel specifically focused on two things — graphics and power.
Why would that be a nightmare?
ARM Apps would run on the ARM Chip and the other on the INTEL Part. So if you´re just check your mail and browse the web, the system only uses the power efficient ARM Chip, while other apps like Adobe CS still rely on the Intel part.
IMHO i would be the much worse nightmare to work with the first two versions of an ARM-ported Adobe CS ;)
because you'd have to write your app for the intel part and the arm part and make them work together seamlessly, unless apple only allows some things to work on the arm processor, like on the iphone 5s, for example checking notifications in he background, or some other basic services, but I don't think it would work for bigger things like a full fledged app :D
They really need to add an option for editing the comments
Some people are not looking at the big picture here…. What we need to understand is that smartphones and tablets will be our future PC's and laptops in a near future so it makes totally sense that you'll see PC like performance in smartphones. Maybe right now it might seem a gimmick but everything is taking us to a time where your laptop will be your smartphone and you'll just have to dock it and start working with your external monitor and keyboard as you do it right now with your laptop at work..

Cloudy skies, frozen mud and mountains of gray snow will greet us as the first day of spring arrives tomorrow. Where are the warm breezes, daffodils and green grass? All I can see are messy leftovers from the Blizzard of '93. Sounds like a candidate for a movie of the week to me.
Even if it doesn't make it to the small screen, the blizzard should provide us boomers with tales to tell our grandchildren. How we survived at the hands of Mother Nature . . . only venturing out to replenish stocks of junk food . . . our only entertainment during those long hours of forced togetherness was cable television, Nintendo and the telephone . . . the lights and heat stay on . . . no accidents happened . . . really, no problems. We emerged victorious.
