Summer need not be a bummer
Camps let kids explore, learn, play
You don't have to travel across the world to make your way through a Roman bath or excavate an Egyptian pyramid. Not if you are a Time Detective at Angel Mounds' day camp. Students ages 6-12 have a chance to relive history through one of four camps designed to give an intensive and experiential walk through the lives of the ancients.
The Angel Mounds camps are among hundreds of camps offered this summer for youths throughout the region. The camps not only offer a safe place to spend the summer, but they also provide virtual getaways. This is a sampling of some of the camps being offered.
Haley Tallman, Sectional Archaeology Program developer, said it takes a great deal of planning to get these camps off the ground. "We work on it a little bit all year long … especially during the slow months in the winter. During the weeks of the day camps themselves we are there very late at night, setting up for the next day."
But it's all worth it to see the kids having a great time, even the ones who were initially "forced to come." Tallman says the camps are "super educational, but in such a fun format that (the kids) have no clue they are even learning."
And sometimes even the adults are surprised by what the kids learn. The last day of camp culminates in an obstacle course that incorporates much of what they learned that week — "a final exam, if you will," Tallman said. It amazes the adults how much the kids retain. "The results are surprising," Tallman said.
The last day of each camp is the Friday Feast, where the Angel Mounds staff has a chance to show off their culinary skills with a meal showcasing the culture being studied that week. During the week of "Mound Mayhem," which celebrates the culture of the local Native American tribe The Mississippians, the meal will feature a turkey baked in an earth oven, blackberries and corn. Tallman says "most of the kids are more than willing to try anything." Even … cattails? "The thick stalks taste like cucumber," Tallman said.
Angel Mounds State Historic Site:
June 11 to 15: "Mound Mayhem" — First in the "Time Detectives" Archaeology Day Camp series. Some of the highlights for this year include hiking, flint knapping, archery, tie-dye and a special "Mississippian" Feast Friday. Register by June 1.
June 25 to 29: "Extreme Egypt" Archaeology Summer Day Camp — Part two of the "Time Detectives" Archaeology Day Camp series invites campers to explore Egypt's splendor. Activities include mock excavations, an Egyptian tomb visit, re-creating an authentic shaduf (an irrigation tool), plus a special "Friday Feast" of Egyptian cuisine. Register by May 18.
July 9 to 13: "Groovy Gladiators" — Part three of Angel Mounds' "Time Detectives" Archaeology Day Camp series transports campers to the Great Roman Empire. Campers will meet some of Rome's most notorious characters and participate in such activities as mock excavations, re-created gladiator battles, and a special "Friday Feast" of Roman cuisine. Register by June 15.
July 23 to 27: "Go Greek!" — Part four of Angel Mounds' "Time Detectives" Archaeology Day Camp series takes campers to the birthplace of Western civilization. Campers will meet some of Greece's greatest warriors and participate in such activities as mock excavations, Olympic Games, and a special trip to the Parthenon in Nashville, Tenn.Register by May 18.

Justice minister Tharcisse Karugarama has urged lawyers from the French-speaking countries union to help bring to book Genocide suspects.
He was speaking at a three-day international conference of lawyers from the Francophone countries that closed on Wednesday in Kigali.
The lawyers, from 83 countries, gathered to share experiences under the theme: "Justice and Reconciliation, Good Governance and Development."
Karugarama explained that the Rwanda judicial system is capable of trying any case, following a number of reforms in the judicial sector.
"Rwanda is a transformed country today; it takes a lot of efforts to give justice to all Genocide suspects and, on the other hand, Genocide victims," said Karugarama.
He said that the prisons were overcrowded after the Genocide and there was a big cry for justice.
"The conventional judicial system could not take us far, we believed in home-grown solutions and adopted Gacaca courts," he said.
Karugarama, is one of the founding members of Kigali Bar Association, said it was a success story as Gacaca courts tried about 2 million cases.
Scholars say given the number of cases, it would have taken at least 300 years to try the Genocide suspects in the conventional courts.
"Several countries are not willing to send fugitives to Rwanda, we ask the international community either to send fugitives here in Rwanda or try them," the minister said, citing European countries which he said host a big number of fugitives.
Although he acknowledged that the lawyers cannot make decisions on extradition, Karugarama urged them to do the advocacy role.
The president of the Kigali Bar Association, Athanase Rutabingwa, reaffirmed that trials are properly handled in Rwandan courts and lawyers freely exercise their duties.
"No lawyer has ever been quizzed for representing so and so in court, we are independent," said Rutabingwa.
The Kigali Bar Association has about 700 lawyers from 39 who started the union in 1997.
Rwandan lawyers said that such an international conference was a platform to share ideas on how to overcome challenges they face.
"In our profession, sharing experience and updates is needed and for us we expect to share best practices," said Lawyer Jeanne d'Arc Mutesi.
DRC snubs
Meanwhile, the Congolese umbrella of Bar Association rejected the invitation to this meeting in Kigali over 'unclear excuses'.
The lawyers from Goma and Bukavu wanted to come but the central bureau forbid them, revealed Athanase Rutabingwa.
However, the decision by the Congolese lawyers' body to decline the invitation is a big surprise, according to lawyer Gatera Gashabana.
"They are the first people who voted for Rwanda to host this meeting, they were happy saying they would come in a big number," said Gatera.
The Bukavu and Goma-based lawyers reportedly expressed their will to come but later declined.
There were participants from countries like Belgium, France, Canada, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Spain, Congo Brazaville, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Burkina Fasso and Mali, among others.

Morlocks are a fictional species created by H. G. Wells for his 1895 novel, The Time Machine. They dwell underground in the English countryside of A.D. 802,701 in a troglodyte civilization, maintaining ancient machines that they may or may not remember how to build. Their only access to the surface world is through a series of well structures that dot the countryside of future England.
Morlocks are humanoid creatures, said to have descended from humans, but by the 8,028th century have evolved into a completely different species, said to be better suited to their subterranean habitat. They are described as "almost antlike", because they slink about silently during the night to catch their prey.
Morlocks wear no clothing but are covered with fur. As a result of living underground, they have little or no melanin to protect their skin, and so have become extremely sensitive to light.
The Morlocks' main source of food is the Eloi, another race descended from humans that lives above ground. The Morlocks treat the Eloi as cattle, and the Eloi do not resist being captured.
Since their creation by Wells, the Morlocks have appeared in many other works such as sequels, movies, television shows, and works by other authors, many of which have deviated from the original description.
The Morlocks and the Eloi have something of a symbiotic relationship: the Eloi are clothed and fed by the Morlocks, and in return, the Morlocks eat the Eloi. The Time Traveller perceives this, and guesses that the Eloi-Morlock relationship developed from a class distinction present in his own time: the Morlocks are the working class who had to work underground so that the rich upper class could live in luxury. The Morlocks also live underground, tending machinery, and are seen by many to represent the "soul-deadening" effects of the Industrial Revolution.
The explanation of their cannibalistic behaviour is that there was a time when the Morlocks ran short of food. The hominids that later became the Morlocks started feeding indiscriminately on creatures such as rats. Eventually, they chased the hominoids, who later became Eloi, for mating - but who over time became their prey. The Time Traveller suggests that Eloi and Morlocks are the only species that seem to exist during that time.
After he discovers the Morlocks, the Time Traveller becomes increasingly disturbed by them to the point of paranoia. He devotes more effort to fighting them, eventually creating a huge forest fire in the night.
At the end of the book, the Time Traveller proceeds further into the future and sees, on a desolate beach, giant crab-like creatures hunting after beautiful creatures that resemble butterflies. The Time Traveller theorizes that this is an eventual result of the Eloi/Morlock struggle. Of course it is undoubtedly a struggle for a slow-moving crab to capture a butterfly, and one might conclude that the butterflies are what have become of the Eloi, who have evolved to evade the Morlock crabs. However this is highly unlikely, since neither species have any Mammal Biology to support the theory that they have any Morlock and Eloi Ancestry.
Their most likely fate was extinction from both drowning and freezing to death, when their tunnels flooded and froze in the progressing eons, as mentioned in the cut chapter of The Grey Man.The Eloi however devolved into Rabbits, only to be hunted to extinction later by giant Centipedes, thus resulting in the Human extinction, before The Time Traveller travels further into the future, to the time of giant crabs and giant butterflies.
When the "Sleeper" encounters these apparent proto-Morlocks, they appear as underground workers in horrible conditions. He notes that they seem to be turning paler, as well as developing their own dialect of English.
These Morlocks are a moralistic, civilized race who are certainly not cannibalistic. Their sphere around the Sun consists of two sections: the outer section, where the Morlocks live in utter peace, and the inner section, where there is solar light in addition to entire floating cities composed of various non-Morlock humans of various types (some are Neanderthal-like, for example, and can design their own bodies) who are constantly at war with each other.
The Morlocks here live in a variety of nation-groups without conflict, and individuals may come and go between them as they choose. It is also worth noting that the Morlocks of the sphere do not reproduce sexually; instead, they physically "build" their offspring out of a clay-like substance.
The Morlock Nebogipfel joins the Time Traveller on his travels through time. Nebogipfel's name comes from the main character of H. G. Wells' first attempt at a time travel story, then called "Chronic Argonauts." The character's name was Dr. Moses Nebogipfel. (The name Moses was also used in The Time Ships, though it is given to the younger version of himself that the Time Traveler meets on his journey.)
The Morlocks are separated into two types, or castes, in the novel. One is the short, weak, stupid Grunt Morlocks, who are supposedly the kind that the Time Traveller encountered, and the other is the Officer Morlocks, who are taller, more intelligent, speak English, and have high rank within the Morlock invasion force. An example of the latter type is Colonel Nalga, an antagonist later in the book.
For some reason, these Morlocks are always described as wearing blueish spectacles, which are presumably to protect the Morlocks' sensitive, dark-adapted eyes.
The Time Traveller also calls the Morlocks by a variant name, "Mi-Go" (derived from H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos tales), and states that they are "known to other ages as Abominable Snowmen." They are implied to be fairly intelligent, as the Time Traveller talks of a suspicion that they are working for the malevolent forces which are attacking the time stream.
J.R.R. Tolkien also wrote a poem about Morlocks, though these were substantially different from H.G. Wells' version.
The assumption seems to be that the Eloi will manage to fill their heads with garbage one way or the other, so American culture exists to ensure that it is harmless garbage rather than the dangerous types that lead to disruptions, violence, wars, and inquisitions.
To quote Stephenson directly:
"But in our world it's the other way round. The Morlocks are in the minority, and they are running the show, because they understand how everything works. The much more numerous Eloi learn everything they know from being steeped from birth in electronic media directed and controlled by book-reading Morlocks. So many ignorant people could be dangerous if they got pointed in the wrong direction, and so we've evolved a popular culture that is (a) almost unbelievably infectious and (b) neuters every person who gets infected by it, by rendering them unwilling to make judgments and incapable of taking stands."
The Morlocks in the film also have a system for summoning the Eloi into their sphinx by using a disaster siren. Supposedly, this was originally used to warn of bombing. Responding to the siren has become inborn, and the Eloi now do so like cattle. It is one of the ways that the Morlocks get their food.
All the Morlocks are controlled by a race of Über-Morlocks, who appear more human than the other two castes seen in the movies. Instead of having gray skin and patches of fur, the Über-Morlock that appears in the film has long, flowing hair of the same pure white color as his skin, has the physique of a human, and wears clothing. His brain is so large that it doesn't quite fit into his head, but instead trails down his back and envelops his spine. He is telepathic, articulate in English speech, and eventually ends up fighting Alexander Hartdegen (the main character of this film).
As explained by the Über-Morlock (in terms of the 2002 movie), the Morlocks originated from humans that sought shelter underground, after an attempt at constructing a lunar colony on the Moon sent fragments of the Moon crashing to Earth. They remained underground for so long that they developed bodies with very little (if any) melanin in their skin and very sensitive eyes that could not tolerate sunlight for long. As a result of the past catastrophe and the resulting strain on resources, the proto-Morlocks divided themselves into several castes. They inbred within each caste until the Morlock race became composed of genetically fine-tuned sub-races designed for specific tasks.
The movie displays three of these races: the Hunter Morlocks that herd Eloi, the Spy Morlocks that shoot them with blowgun darts, and the Über-Morlocks that command the first two races. The Morlocks seen in the movie are destroyed when Alexander causes his time machine to malfunction and explode in their tunnels, but there are other Morlock colonies that remain and are unseen.
However, it has since been revealed that the Morlocks in the show are not simply foot soldiers; they comprise the entire group of enemies of the Power Rangers. The Morlocks in the show are entirely unlike those in The Time Machine, except that they still live underground and are villains. These Morlocks are not portrayed as a divergent species of humanity, but instead as an ancient, evil legion who were sealed underground centuries ago. The Morlocks have finally broken the seal and are planning to invade Briarwood, and later the world.
The Morlocks in this show are apparently undead, with machine components built into their bodies. Their leader is Morticon, who often quarrels with his top warrior, Knight Wolf. The main area shown of the underground Morlock headquarters is a large throne room, with an audience of Morlocks who look down and cheer at Morticon.
Also, the zombie-like foot soldiers which were originally thought to be the Morlocks are actually called "Hidiacs", who are foot soldiers who serve the Morlocks. It is unknown whether they can be considered a variety of Morlock themselves.
In the videogame Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, the children of the Vampire Lieutenant, Turel, were known as Morlocks in the early stages of production. The first such Turelim vampire encountered in the game bestowed the Telekinesis ability upon the protagonist, Raziel, and has since been named Morlock in terms of canon.
In H. P. Lovecraft's story The Lurking Fear, the protagonist discovers that the (fictional) region of Thunder Mountain in the Catskill Mountains is inhabited by a population of ape-like, cannibalistic, degenerate humanoids who live underground. It is unclear whether these creatures are based on H. G. Wells' Morlocks, but they are remarkably similar.
In The Descent, the 2005 horror film, the 'Crawlers,' a blind cannibal race living in a deep cave system in Appalachia, closely resemble H.G. Wells' Morlocks.
In Orson Scott Card's Homecoming Saga, The fourth book Earthfall features the 'Diggers' who live below ground and terrorize the cattle-like 'Angels' who live on the surface. The Diggers share similarities with Wells' Morlocks.
In Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda television series, Magog are a violent furry species that prey on other life forms, including humans. In another thematic relation to Wells' theme of time travel, advanced Magog are brought back from the future by a super-genius engineer and crew member of the spaceship Andromeda Ascendant named Seamus Zelazny Harper.
In the movie I Am Legend, starring Will Smith, the Dark Seekers have many similarities to Wells's Morlocks, including an aversion to light, cannibalism, tribal nature, little to no melanin pigmentation, and the fact that they were originally human.
In the Warcraft series, the creature Murlock contains slightly similar features to the Morlock, and shares an almost identical name. There is also a creature called a Trog. A cannabilistic race that dwell underground and evolved from the same race that would become the dwarf.
Most of them were slaughtered in the Mutant Massacre, and the survivors later moved to Gene Nation, located in a parallel dimension. A later retcon made some of them the failed creations of the Dark Beast.
Also, in "Welcome to Death Ward Hospital", one area of the areas has a well which leads down to the Morlock habitat. Here, the player can meet Gorbertron—the leader of the Morlocks.
In "Homer the Moe" Homer is telling a story at the bar and summarizes a story he's been telling with "Eventually I become king of the Morlocks". Carl Carlson replies "But Morlocks are from the future!".

Improved Referee System:
In FIFA 08 the match officials were not seen on the field with the players as they would be seen in a professional soccer match. An improvement that has been made to FIFA 15 is that the referees are seen in high definition right next to the players. The AI refereeing system is extremely fair compared to the '08 version of the game. This allows more room to utilize strategies such as the off-sides trap and combination plays.
Scoring has become much easier in FIFA 14 because of the increased speed of passes and players, but not because of the ease of shooting. Shooting has become increasingly difficult in '09, but this adds to the realism of the game. This is a game that can be enjoyed by the likes of professional players as well as novice soccer players.
Music & Environment:
Unlike FIFA 08, '09 offers the game in tons of different languages. Soccer is a sport played in every country in the world so I find that this feature is extremely helpful. Playing the game in different languages is interesting and exciting because it gives you the feel of playing in a different country.
EA Sports truly portrays the games extremely realistically in terms of chants of fans and comments from the commentators. This makes you feel as if you are right there in the game, playing in a professional match.
Team Selection:
FIFA 14 allows you to play as every professional team on the face of the planet. I love this feature because it allows anyone to go out and play as their favorite team. You can even play as a national team which can result in some exciting match ups. I sometimes find myself playing as the U.S. (I live in America) playing against someone from Mexico playing as the Mexican national team. The game is so real that sometimes I feel as if I am representing my national team!
Final Product:
Overall graphics are significantly better in the 2014 version including player movement and the stadium view itself. Having the referee on the field and sideline makes the game more real and the soundtrack is wonderful. Music in '09 portrays the true culture of soccer.
The video demo leading up to the game got me really excited about the game. In my opinion the game lived up to my expectations. Online modes in '14 are exciting and allow you to find matches much quicker. There is reduced lag in 09 and I have experienced significantly less connection problems with players half way across the world.
FIFA 14 is a game that anyone can enjoy if they have the slightest interest in soccer. The gameplay is extremely realistic and portrays principles of soccer surprisingly accurately. In my opinion the game could even be used as a tool to teach young players the finer point of the game. If you love the game of soccer you will fall in love with this astounding game from EA Sports.
This is the first of what I hope will be a number of articles about AndEngine and its use. This is just a brief, introduction to the engine and its usage. Because we are focusing on AndEngine, I will assume the following things:
1. You are a beginner to programming and to Android
2. You have used Eclipse a little and have downloaded and installed the Android SDK
3. You have created a few basic Android Apps and have run them on the emulator and/or an Android phone.
4. Like I was, you are looking for a good overview of AndEngine and what it can do.
So, with that said, let's look at AndEngine.
AndEngine is a free 2D OpenGL game engine for Android powered devices. Basically, that means it takes care of the difficult parts of writing OpenGL code and frees you up to focus on the task of writing a game. It also means that if you are new to programming, you can get up and running very quickly. There is at least one other OpenGL game engine for Android out there called LibGDX. It is an excellent engine, but is not for beginners. I suggest developing one or two games with AndEngine to get a fell for OpenGL (also pick up an OpenGL book) before attempting to use LibGDX. Both engines have strengths and weakness, but for beginners, AndEngine is the best option.
What makes AndEngine so great for beginners? Glad you asked. For one, documentation. For two, documentation. Finding solutions to a problem can be a big hassle in programming and the problem (and your frustrations) are only compounded when you cannot find out any information about the free software you are using. To that end, AndEngine has a great deal of documentation that can be found at:
What makes the forums so great is the following things:
1. The person who made AndEngine (Nicholas Gramlich) is active on these forums, posts nearly every day, responds promptly to questions, provides updates, and offers tutorials. In other words, he rocks!
2. Other people who are using AndEngine post here with both questions and answers. You will find that many people have run into the very problem you are having and that they have found the solution, posted it, and sometimes even made a handy download for you to just copy and paste.
3. People are friendly on this forum. Everyone struggles and no one will treat you poorly for it on this board. It is a friendly community.
Okay, so now that I have convinced you to use AndEngine, you want to know how to get started. The first thing to do is go this following post and do exactly what it says:
This post walks you through the basics of setting up AndEngine in Eclipse and getting the very basic skeleton of a game started. Once you have done this, move on to the next step by going to:
This contains a number of basic examples that demonstrate features of AndEngine. My suggestion is to copy and paste them into a project in Eclipse and then change variables in order to get a feel for how things work. After that, try combining examples into one project to create extended functionality.
When you have spent some time messing around with the provided examples, it is time to start programming a game. Don't jump in there thinking you are going to create a Halo contender right off the bat. The better approach is to come up with a very simple concept. Here is my approach.
Create a game with a single character that moves around a fixed background. Once you have got that done, add some sprites to the top layer of the game and try to work out collisions between those sprites and the main character. Once you have done that, consider trying a TMXTiled background to create more game play. After that, you can add in collidable tiles on the background and handle collisions between your character and background features (like rocks, trees, etc.).
If you have a little bit of programming knowledge (like you read a book on Java) then you can do all of this in less than a month. From having never touched an Android device to full operating game running on AndEngine can be achieved in a month in your spare time. After that, your imagination is your only real limitation (that and the Dalvik VM) as to what you can create. Good luck and happy programming.

In the world of consumer electronics, "Android" and "console gaming" are two terms which are both heard often, but until recently, were almost never before heard together. Sure, Android may be an excellent mobile platform developed on the attractive principle of open application development, but is it really suitable as a platform for high fidelity gaming consoles to run? A number of next generation gaming consoles that are soon to be or already have been released are Android-based; many such consoles were shown off at this year's recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES for short). Here's the basic run-down on three relatively new, next-generation consoles that all run with Android as their operating system.
Nvidia Shield:
The first and likely most prestigious of the Android-based consoles found at CES was the Nvidia Shield. The Shield is a handheld console; here are its main features:
· The primary control system is a built in dual analog controller; it largely resembles an Xbox 360 controller
· The built in display is five-inch flip up 720p LCD screen.
· Has Google Play game support; this support on the Android based Shield appears to be a big push on the part of Google to get into the market of serious console gaming.
· Contains an HDMI display and audio output for use of an external display, anything from a monitor to TV screen.
· Has the ability to wirelessly stream games from any computer with a recent Nvidia GTX graphics card, so it has the potential to appeal to the PC gaming crowd as well. The Shield can also be configured simply as a control interface for a PC, to play games that aren't supported on the Shield.
While the Shield is a sound product with the solid performance delivered by most high-end Nvidia products, a lot will depend on how good of a job Google does in improving its gaming marketplace and reaching out to big game developers and publishers. There is no doubt, however, that the Shield's high-end GPU will allow for high performance on modern games. The Nvidia Shield also features.
Game Stick:
Another lesser-known console that makes use of Android is the Kickstarter-funded Game Stick. Here's the details:
· It provides a console with an HDMI port that allows the player to play Android games on their TV.
· The device is completely separate from the core gaming industry, and is designed to play games natively designed for Android only.
· The Game Stick simply provides a television interface to do so. It is availablefor a price under $100.
Another similar and also Kickstarter-funded console is OUYA:
· OUYA is another TV console that allows the user to wirelessly access OnLive's free-to-play gaming catalog
· While OUYA, like the Game Stick, was not developed by a large brand name, the selection of games from OnLive that it supports tie it more into the mainstream gaming scene than the GameStick, which primarily only supports relaxed, small time games native to Android.
With the continuous expansion of the Android Os into more mobile devices each day, busy professionals on the go are always seeking out new ways and more Apps to make their Android devices more accommodating to their business needs while they are mobile.
And while most of the Apps that offers them mobile satisfaction are paid ones, there are still a few free Apps that can outperform the said paid apps and are almost a necessity for every Android device that is owned by busy professionals.
Today, I list my top 10 choice of free apps that can enhance your productivity while you are on the go.
1. Yahoo Mail for Android
There are a few alternate email clients that you may be able to use to access your Yahoo Mail account on the Android. But if you want to enjoy all of the same flexibility of Yahoo mail — such as rich text editing, formatting, ease of attachments, and a view of your email just as if you was viewing it on a PC — no other mail client can handle the job as efficient as the Yahoo Mail app for Android.
As a software engineer and ardent critic of technology applications, I was bent on giving Yahoo a gruesome and thorough analysis of this App, which may not had been a fair start. But after one month of research usage and evaluation among my team of three other Android evaluators at the University of Dublin (in Ireland), we had no other choice but to give the Yahoo Mail App for Android a nine out of 10 rating for its ease of use flexibility, speed, beautiful interface, and user friendly menus.
The other one percent was probably withheld out of prejudice and our sheer disbelief that this App could have been so flawless.
Today, it is the most used App on my Android phone, and I am sure it is the same for many other users.
2. WhatsApp Messenger
A little over a year ago this App was still in its infant stage. But today; from the Middle East to Asia, WhatsApp Messenger seems to be rivaling the struggling but dominant blackberry messenger service when it comes to smooth and almost cost free multi-national mobile messaging.
Unlike the complexities of having to get a user's Blackberry PIN with a series of precise serials, WhatsApp simply connects you to another person half a world away once you have their mobile phone number in your phone's default address book.
And once their mobile numbers are there, WhatsApp automatically adds them to your available contacts list, thus making it easier for you to know who is using the App and who is not; and by extension, connect with them instantly.
And even if they changes the device or even change their number, WhatsApp makes it seamlessly easy for their contacts to be automatically transferred to the new device, and as such, continue to be in contact with you.
While its additional features includes image file sharing, and instant voice message sharing, the App may need to go a little further to allow for more file exchange flexibilities and a little more intuition to make it more adapted for both business and pleasure.
However, if global mobile messaging for free is on your lists of interest, then it is well worth having WhatsApp on your Android device (or other supported phones Os).
3. Kingsoft Office
Well I have to admit it, Kingsoft Office is indeed a king when it comes to preparing, editing and viewing Microsoft Office documents or any other office productivity document on Android devices.
This well compiled piece of App gives you all of the flexibilities, features, menus and user options that you can find on even the most advance Office suit on your desktop computer. It is like having your desktop office application in the palm of your hands.
During our Android research , I compared this product with almost every major App in its category, and can safely say that it has practically doubled the performance levels of its closest rival.
Walking around with an Android device, and not having this App installed on it, is like simply putting yourself in a less productive position.
4. Camscanner
Whenever you are on the go there is always a need to scan documents, agreements and other information that may be important for later use or subsequent print off.
Well, the Camscanner App has passed my test as a true mobile scanning tool that defies my initially low expectations.
Unlike other Apps where you have to be fixing the document in a perfect position or having to be twisting and angling yourself, zoom in and then zoom out; this App is way pass all that drama.
Just hold or quick focus on the document and touch the scan button, and camscanner (see this video) would do all the rest. It recognizes the document, and automatically trim out all of the other objects around it including any fingers that was holding the document, then quickly converts it into a nice, clean, and crystal clear PDF scanned image just as if you had scanned it on a machine.
Install this App on your Android and you would be surprised at its smart scan capabilities, and how benefiting it can be for you. It's like walking around with the entire office scanner in the palm of your hands.
5. Drop box
This is a well established app that is very useful for sharing files between your computer and your phone, and would allow you to indirectly edit documents on your PC (even if it is turned) off while you are on the go.
You can then power up your PC later and access the same file from your drop box folder for further review or continuous work.
Other core features includes cloud file storage, and file sharing with as many computers (users) as you may wish, directly or indirectly from your phone or the account itself.
6. Magic Jack
I have used many other Apps on my Android devices for free calling. However, the only one that seems to offer better call quality, and all the other features of a standard telephone for free, regardless of where you are; is the Magic Jack App for Android.
This App pushes your call even through the slowest of an Edge internet connection and offers you the opportunity to call for free year round to the USA and Canada, while an upgrade would be required for minimal paid calling to other countries.
Persons can also call you wherever you may be via a vanity number that is assigned to your phone by the Magic Jack App.
7. Printer Share
There are a lot of Apps that offers you the ability to print from your Android devices, sometimes with many trials and errors.
But the Bluetooth printing, WiFi printing, and network printing options provided by Printer Share, makes it a preferred a preferred App for a business person who simply wants to print their documents on the go, or have the convenience of virtual printing access, minutes before a meeting that may be far away.
It allows the user to print files from his PC drop box folder (even if the PC is in Tokyo and the user is in New York), or it allows the user to print to his business partner's printer way back in London, using the phone's internet connection.
If printing on-the-go means something to you, you may indeed want to embrace printer share.
8. Dolphin browser
The generic browser that comes with your Android device can often be slow and cumbersome, and may also restrict you to view web-pages in mobile format only, even though you may sometimes want to see the site's desktop version on your tablet or your phone.
To make things easier, the Dolphin browser allows you to switch between the desktop and the mobile version of a website with just once touch of an icon.
Unlike other browsers, it allows you to view flash websites and portals using other website features that are usually not accessible on a mobile device.
Though this browser is comparatively slower than Opera mini, its overall performance means that it is within the best of the rest, and is definitely worth a shot on your Android device.
9. AndroZip
Ever received a file in compressed file format on your phone and can't uncompress it to see what's inside? Then you may need AndroZip for Android .
This App would allow you to easily uncompress over twenty file formats on your mobile device, and assign the relevant program to view its contents.
This is certainly a reasonably powerful unzipping utility that would have usually been accessible on a desktop computer only.
So if you want to save yourself the file compression hassle while you are on the move, then you may also need to install AndroZip.
10. Team Viewer
You may be on the go, and need to retrieve a document from one of your staff computers or a computer at home; or you may need to review a client list yourself or edit a document back in the office yourself.
With Team Viewer you can view the screen of your computer via your mobile phone screen, and assist your staff with a document or view a document even if you are half a world away.
Using Team Viewer would simply require your staff entering a code to accept your incoming request to view their screen or you can pre-authorize your phone to have unrestricted access to selected computers in the office, and practically control, use or shut down the office PC down, even if you are half a world away.
This may sound a bit creepy and snoopy, but it is a tool that may be more than useful for people having to offer technical or administrative support to someone in an office thousands of miles away.
In conclusion, there are many other Apps that could have easily made this list as they have their own unique features and benefits. But for now, the above seems to be some cool ones that may matters the most for every busy professional on the go.
If you have entered into a mobile phone contract when purchasing a new cell phone, it is very likely that the phone is jam-packed with apps from your mobile service provider.
Providers often install their own current software on the smartphone. Some of them are useful, but many are not. The problem here is that the applications cannot be removed easily and will soon eat up a lot of memory!
To get rid of those applications you need root privileges. Instructions for rooting can be found online on the individual devices. Let me warn you, this will void your warranty.
Worry not, however. I will show you a workaround.
Annoying Manufacturer and Service Provider Apps
For this, download the application Titanium Backup. Before using the app, you should activate it in the "Developer Tools" and their settings mode for USB debugging should be switched on to avoid performance problems.
This is a backup program, but it is great for deleting hard-to-remove preinstalled apps that have been created and installed by the manufacturer or service provider.
Proceed to use the "Backup/Restore," select the app you want to delete and then tap "Uninstall." We advise you create backup for all applications and associated data. In the Pro version of the app, which costs about a few dollars, you can use the same backup tool to upload your files to Dropbox so as not to burden the phone memory.
In addition, you should not overzealously delete apps without knowing their tasks. To test whether a system failure could result from deleting the app, you can just freeze a program in the Pro version. The freezing is equivalent to deactivation, the app is still there but it's not working. If no errors occur and you do not use the application, you can delete.
When All Else Fails
Is your Android Smartphone already beyond repair? Do malfunctions occur? Is the system unbearably slow and apps take forever to launch?
When all else fails, resetting the operating system is your solution. However, before you perform a reset, backup your data and store them. Most management programs from smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung offer this feature.
Even with the free program My Phone Explorer, you can create a backup of your system. In addition, store your data with the previously mentioned Titanium Backup application, provided that you have root privileges. After your data are backed up and stored, start the reset by going to "Privacy Factory Data Reset" and "Factory data reset > Save and Reset" on Android 4.0 in System Preferences. Your data will be removed, and it will initiate an automatic restart. From here, you can configure your smartphone again and reinstall your backup data.
To measure the speed of your Android phone, there are different benchmarks to look at. CPU capacity is one of the most important benchmarks and it is easily calculated by another tool – Smartbench 2012.
With smartphones becoming all the rage lately, developers have turned their attention to platforms such as Android. Whenever one is on the go, it's always nice to have some games ready to play. Android is capable of that, and here are the top five games that don't cost a single penny.
Smartphones, meet the world of physics. You are a ship that is trying to hit a target with a beam, but the game itself is much more difficult than it sounds as it adds things such as mirrors, traps, and other nature defying objects into the mix. A great way to pass some time, Newton is a must-have for those with the Android platform.
Zombie, Run!
Zombie, Run! is a fun little game of avoiding zombies on a GPS map, and while it's not the most enthusing game to play when you're bored, it's a fun passive game. You can even make it more fun by seeing who can avoid the zombies the longest within a group of friends!
Sketch Online
I'm guessing that most of you are familiar with the idea of one person drawing something while the rest of the group guesses what that person draws? A popular game now, Sketch Online just takes that idea and puts it on the Android platform. Personally, it's much more fun with friends that I know rather than random strangers, but it's a fun game nevertheless.
Replica Island
Free and open source, Replica Island really is one of the best Android games around. You can tell that it was made especially for the Android platform only by looking at the character you control! The main point of the game is to guide your Android robot through 40 platforming levels to find a mysterious power source. The gameplay is extremely polished, and I found it very easy to maneuver the robot around with the smartphone controls. It's not just any other platformer, as it contains many twists that you will see if you play it!
Bebbled is your basic puzzle game for the smartphone. The main point of the game is to drop coloured gems onto other coloured gems in order to clear more space. For more gems. However, I must note that the interface is extremely sleek and easy to use, and the gameplay is quite addictive if you push yourself.

Jamaica 2011 -- Education
During Spring Break 2011, Education Professor David Stoloff and Julisa de Los Santos, housing director for Burnap Hall, led a global field experience to Montego Bay in northwestern Jamaica. The purpose of the visit was to expand partnerships with Jamaican schools for future service-learning projects.
This year's group of students, which included seven undergraduates studying education as well as sociology, biology, psychology, English and history, visited students and educators in an infant school, a primary school, a junior high school, three high schools, Montego Bay Community College, Sam Sharpe Teachers College and the Jamaican Ministry of Education. The group also had opportunities to enjoy Jamaican culture, food, music, art, and dance and to learn about the aspirations of the Jamaican people. Another global field experience is planned for Spring Break 2012. For more information, contact Professor Stoloff at email@example.com.

Lena Eaton, a 91-year-old great grandmother, is arguably the luckiest woman in Indiana.
In the past three months, the Indianapolis resident has purchased not one, but two winning lottery tickets.
In August, Eaton won a $300,000 prize with a Quick Draw ticket. On Thursday, she walked into the Hoosier Lottery headquarters with another winning ticket: a scratch-off worth $99,999.
In doing so, she defied incredible odds.
For her first win, she matched 10 of 20 Quick Draw numbers on a ticket purchased at the Discount Check Cashing store on the 2800 block of Lafayette Road. The chances of that happening? One in 8.9 million.
For her second win, she bought a $5 Scorchin' Hot 9s scratch-off ticket at a Safeway Foods on the 3000 block of Kessler Ave. She had a one in 646,000 chance of winning that one.
The odds of winning both: One in 5.7 trillion.

Sixth-grade teacher Brandon Maulis stood in front of his 30 students Wednesday at Butterfield Canyon Elementary School, reading from "Little Red Riding Hood" and posing who, what, where, when and why questions to the class.
His class had already dropped from 31 to 30 students since the first day of school, but Maulis said the numbers typically grow, not shrink, as the school year progresses.
"This is the largest class I've ever had at the beginning of the year," he said. "I've gotten up to 30, but I've never started with 30. It's a lot to start with."

Quiet and Dependable
By Steve
from Ramsey, NJ
I use this pump for the collection and disposal of condensate from my high-efficiency furnace's secondary heat exchanger when in heating mode, and from the evaporator coil when in air conditioning mode. The pump is well designed and built, and works quickly and quietly when it cycles on.
Couldn't be easier to install
By Roger
from Cottontown, Tenn.
My Little Giant condensate removal pump failed after 15 years service in our upstairs heat pump. Ordered a new exact replacement from Pex Supply, installed it in 15 minutes and I'm ready for the next 15 years. Think I'll order another and replace the one on my 10 year old unit just as routine maintenance. Thanks Pex for making purchasing easy.

Nice combination. Run your condensate line into one of the holes, route your tubing to sewer, and plug it in. Can't get any easier than that. It has a high level safety switch to warn you if it were to fail but I'm not using it. Hope it lasts; time will tell!

Science for Human Rights: Quantitative Methods for Security and Humanitarian Aid
The Center for Ethics in Science and Technology
Wednesday, April 6, 2011 from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM (PDT)
Recent technological advances in information gathering and processing have been successfully used to defend people against abuses, and to direct aid where it can be most effective. Virtually all of the technology now used for Human Rights was developed for vastly different purposes. The suitability of the technology for improving human conditions is yet another example of how application of science expands beyond the purposes envisioned by its developers. This presentation describes some of the methods in use today, covering three general areas of Research and Information Gathering, Computational Tools, and Data Visualization. Specific topics include satellite imaging, crowd sourcing, artificial intelligence, automated image analysis, alternative data sources, quantitative models of forced migration, and geospatial mapping.

Nothing illuminates the gaping chasm between political and public opinion quite like the war on drugs. With over half of British people saying that the governments approach to illegal drugs is ineffective, and even Commons MPs saying we should look into decriminalisation, its a wonder that they havent just got on with it yet. But for British politicians, taking a stance on drugs is kind of like taking drugs: no one wants to be the first one at the party to suggest it.

Thinking of getting pregnant? Don't drink
Fetal alcohol syndrome is the leading cause of mental disability in the Western world
Fetal alcohol syndrome, or FAS, is a collection of mental and physical defects that can occur in an unborn child if the mother consumes alcohol during pregnancy. It's the leading known cause of mental disability in the Western world, with a prevalence rate of roughly one case per 1,000 live births.
FAS can be devastating. It primarily affects the fetus' developing central nervous system, in particular the brain, with subsequent cognitive, functional and behavioral disabilities.
The syndrome is preventable in most cases: Women are advised to simply not drink during pregnancy. But that may be easier said than done. Surveys indicate 10 percent to 15 percent of pregnant women say they've consumed alcohol recently; up to 30 percent say they've had one drink or more at some point during their pregnancy.
Christina Chambers is a professor of pediatrics at UCSD who specializes in the study and prevention of FAS and other birth defects. With January designated as National Birth Defects Prevention Month, we asked her to assess the current situation.
Q: With no established guidelines for safe alcohol consumption during pregnancy, the current recommendation is no alcohol during pregnancy. Does the same advice apply to women trying to have a baby?
A: Yes, absolutely. In fact, the most common way that a developing baby is exposed to alcohol is in the early weeks of pregnancy before many women know they are pregnant. I would extend that recommendation one step further: A woman should avoid alcohol if she is planning a pregnancy, if she has the potential to become pregnant even though she might not be planning, and certainly if she is pregnant.
Q: What do you say to women who are surprised by a pregnancy, if they're already a couple of months along?
A: More than 50 percent of women in the United States do not plan their pregnancies, so the opportunity for this kind of a surprise is great. Here in the Department of Pediatrics at UCSD, we run a statewide counseling service for pregnant women and their health care providers (the California Teratogen Information Service Pregnancy Health Information Line at (800) 532-3749 or
ctispregnancy.org), and among all of the women who call us each year, the most common exposure is to alcohol before the woman knew she was pregnant. We counsel women that if they have not already stopped drinking, it is important to stop as soon as they know they are pregnant, and that discontinuing alcohol use through the remainder of the pregnancy is the best thing for their baby.
Q: FAS can stunt fetal growth and weight, but the main impact is upon brain development. What happens, and how does it manifest itself later on?
A: It is clear from brain images of children with FAS that alcohol disturbs brain growth and structure. It is also clear from developmental testing of children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, or FASD, that they have learning and behavior problems that do not go away as the child grows up. In other words, FASD is a lifelong disability.
