Gadget Watch: Phones with Leica lenses, and Leicas without LCDs
Gadget Watch: Sept. 20, 2014
The mammoth Photokina photo fair is going on this week, and that means tons of photo goodies. Small, manual cameras with big sensors are the game this year — unless you've got $20,000 to burn, in which case Leica's new novelty camera might be up your street. We round these out with Gadget Watch's usual collection of bags, cases and gadgets.
Panasonic LX-100
The sweet-looking LX-100 is Panasonic's take on the Fujifilm X100, only it comes with a zoom lens instead of a fixed one, and a plain EVF instead of the X100-series' amazing hybrid viewfinder. It packs in a big Micro Four Thirds sensor, has manual dials for everything and the 24-75mm equivalent lens runs from ƒ1.7-2.8. $900
Bison Wallet
It looks like a sunglasses case crossed with a taco, but the Bison Wallet is in fact an iPhone case that manages to carry some cards or cash in a minimal, almost unnoticeable pocket formed from an extra flap of leather. It's a clever take on the wallet case, and one which doesn't leave you with a wedge of crap on your back jeans pocket. $75
Booq Taipan Shock
The biggest shock about Booq's Taipan Shock is the price. For $95 you get a great bag with Booq's great organizational design, which gives you tons of pockets and sleeves for your gear, but somehow doesn't force you into one way of using it. There's a section for a MacBook, an outside pocket for an iPad, plus all kinds of spaces inside for bottles, clothes and accessories. $95
Rickshaw reflective tweed bags
Rickshaw makes some of the finest bags known to man, and now it also makes them reflective. See-me-in-the-dark Reflective Performance Tweed is a shiny variant on the regular Performance Tweed, a classy fabric made from recycled water bottles. Backpacks and messenger bags can be had in solid or striped variants, and they're all as ultra-light and ultra-tough as ever. From $59.
DoDocase Apple Watch charging stand
Who wants to toss their Apple Watch onto their nightstand while they sleep? Not you, and not me. No, we want the DoDocase charging stand, carved from walnut and with a cable router to keep things tidy. I like that you can just hang the watch on here and charge it. You can even have the thing monogrammed, rendering it tacky as hell. $80
Leica M Edition 60
$20,000 will buy you a digital Leica with no LCD, no autofocus, not even automatic exposure. You get a shutter release button, a shutter speed dial, an ISO dial and the aperture and focussing rings around the lens. That is it. It's a rangefinder camera with all the limitations of film. You can't even chimp to check you got the exposure right. Loaded hipsters are ecstatic. $20,000
Panasonic CM1 phone camera
Panasonic has put a one-inch sensor and a Leica lens in a phone. To be fair, it's more of a camera with a phone built into it, but seeing as my iPhone gets used more as a camera than anything else, that's not a bad choice. That's the same sized sensor as in the Sony RX100, paired with a 28mm (equivalent) ƒ2.8 lens. There's even a physical click-wheel around the lens. It's just a shame it runs Android. €900
Tassel Charging Cable
If you hate on-the-go iPhone-charging hassle, then you need the Photojojo keychain charging Tassle, a Lightning or microUSB cable that dangles from your bag or keys until needed. Outside it's leather, inside there are your charging plugs, kept safe with a magnetic closure. Comes in pink or brown, for $60
How to switch to iOS 8's iCloud Photo Library right now
[UPDATE: Lots of readers report that the new option to activate iCloud Photo Library isn't showing up on their devices. I'm looking into it. So far I know that the GM version — the one I used to write this guide — and the final version are identical, build number 12A365. My guess is that Apple turned off the beta already]
iCloud Photo Library is rad. The idea is that all your full-res photos (including RAW photos) reside on Apple's servers, and you access them from all your devices.
That's a change from Photo Stream as it is now, which stores only the last 1,000 photos you took, not your whole collection. Apple has also introduced new tiers of iCloud storage pricing to cope with all your photos (and videos). This is now live, and I signed up for the 200GB option ($4 per month) to test it out.
Let's take a look.
iOS 8 gives the Photos app superpowers
Photos on iOS 8 are so good that you will be able to ditch a whole home-screen folder's worth of editing and organizing apps. That's not an exaggeration: Apple's new mobile OS packs in so many great new features that – even without the extending abilities of iOS 8's new plug-ins – you can do pretty much any edit right there in the photos app.
The camera, too, has gotten an upgrade, and – maybe the most important for some – so has the iCloud Photo Stream, which will now give access to all your photos, from any device, whenever you want.
Sounds pretty good huh?
Kindle Voyage brings buzzing buttons back to the bezel
Amazon has two new Kindles out, the Voyage, plus an update that brings touch to the cheapest Kindle. The new Voyage isn't – as its name might suggest – waterproof ready for travel, but it does have a brighter screen and, get this, page turn buttons.
iMovie's iOS 8 extension lets you edit your movies in the Photos app
iMovie for iOS 8 is straight-up amazing, and I say that before I've even bothered using the app. And not because I'm a typical tech writer who "reviews" things based on rewrite of a press release, but because you don't even need to open iMovie to use it.
Why? Because it has an extension that lets you edit your videos, right inside the Photos app.
ProCam brings iOS 8's manual camera controls into focus
ProCam 2 – confusingly now at v3.0 – is the first camera app that allows manual focus and exposure on devices running iOS 8. You now get full manual control of ISO, shutter speed, focus and white balance, all with neat-o on-screen sliders.
OmniFocus 2 for iPad shows off new iOS 8 Extensions
Extensions are coming to iOS 8, and Omni shows us just how cool they can be with a new version of OmniFocus 2 for iPhone plus the brand new OmniFocus 2 for iPad.
Gadget Watch: iPhone 6 cases, cameras and an astonishing TiVo
Gadget Watch: Sept. 13, 2014
The big iPhones are here at last, and so – as surely as indigestion follows a burrito – are the oversize iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus cases. Also new on the scene this week: a game controller for all your iDevices, plus some sweet retro-style cameras.
Waterfield Spinn case for iPhone 6 Plus
A big-ass phone needs a big-ass case, and the Waterfield Spinn is both big and sits by your ass. The leather holster clips to your belt, the bottom is open for hooking up headphones and hearing the speaker, and the closing clasp doubles as a winder for unused headphone cabling. Pretty cool for a dorky holster. $59
Fujifilm X100T
Fujifilm's successor to the amazing X100S changes little. You get refined buttons and dials, and more of these can be given custom functions. You get a double-resolution LCD on the back, plus Wi-Fi inside, and a sweet new hybrid viewfinder that can overlay a digital rangefinder on the pure optical view. $1,300
TiVo Mega
The Tivo Mega really is mega, with 24TB of DVR storage for 4,000 hours of HD and 26,000 hours of SD programming. At roughly 20 minutes each, that's enough space to keep the entire series of Big Bang Theory 490 times over. It's rack mountable, has six tuners and you can stream direct to your phone. How much? $5,000
Grovemade Maple & Leather iPhone 6 case
Grovemade puts a lid on its gorgeous wooden iPhone cases with the new Maple & Leather model for the 6 and 6 Plus. It has the usual bumper-like wooden surround, but with a new leather flap on the front that doubles as a kickstand, thanks to a stiffening wooden liner. It looks gorgeous. $129
Moga Rebel controller
What could be a better accessory for your new iPhone 6 Plus than the Moga Rebel, a Bluetooth game controller for your iPhone or iPad that boasts an adjustable arm and clamp to hold even a giant phone? $80
Leatherman By The Numbers
Leatherman By The Numbers is a range of 10 new tools that each pack at least four tools into one lightweight little package. There are no moving parts (except on the No. 4, which has a removable screwdriver bit), and you can pick the combo that best suits your needs. From $11
Quit trying to squeeze a cylinder into your bag with your computer and books – try the book-shaped Memobottle instead. These plastic water bottles slide straight into your bag, and come in A4, A5 and U.S Letter sizes. Made from dishwasher-friendly Tritan, the only problem might be drinking from them – probably a two-handed task. From $22.
Lomo LC-A 120
Forget full-frame digital. The way to get maximum photographic quality is medium-format film. Then you can proceed to ruin that film with the plastic-fantastic Lomo LC-A 120, a relatively tiny medium-format camera with automatic exposure, four-zone manual focus and a square format. $430
SanDisk 512GB Extreme Pro SD card
Put all your photos of eggs on a single SD card, with SanDisk's new 512GB Extreme Pro SDXC card. Pointless for photos, the super-fast UHS Speed Class 3 card is better for capturing video from your movie-making DSLR. Just $800.
AeroClam bike saddle bag
The Aeroclam switches a saggy, baggy saddle bag that rattles on the rails of your racing seat for a tightly-fitted clamshell bag that stays permanently – and tightly – attached to your undercarriage. There's space for a patch kit and maybe a multitool, but not a pump. Fits most non-Brooks saddles. NZ$50
Minimalist iPhone protectors don't cut corners — they cover them
Bumpies border upon the nonexistent, and that's why they are better than most other iPhone cases. Not that you could really count Bumpies as a case: They're little stick-on corners that protect your iPhone's extremities, and do it almost invisibly.
The iPhone 6 camera is the only camera you need
Two things strike me about the camera in the new iPhone 6 models. One is that you can take better pictures; the other is that the iPhone is now a much better place for viewing those pictures.
With their bigger, brighter screens — and iCloud's new Photo Albums feature (which stores all your photos, ready to view, in iCloud) — the iPhone 6 and its larger sibling, the iPhone 6 Plus, are looking to be the best smartphones yet, from a photographic point of view.

Randy Shaw: 2013 will lack the excitement of a presidential election year. But it is activism between elections that brings change.
Progressive Media Advocates
By Randy Shaw
Treva Brandon Scharf: Confident people don't bash themselves; they don't let negative thinking and self-loathing screw up a good workout or undermine their progress.
Edward Wasserman: The larger question, to me, was less why she did what she did, but why everybody seemed to care so much, and why her case provoked so much anger.
Joe Mathews: But with immigration flatlining and the climate drying up, it may soon be.

CMS publishes near-complete Open Payments data for 2014
What do 9.4 million lunches, breakfasts and funded coffee breaks do for the healthcare professions?
Right on schedule, and with, according to CMS, 98.8% validated records (of a total of 11.41 million records), the Open Payments system delivered the results on calendar year 2014. Open Payments comes out of the Physicians Sunshine Act, requiring drug and medical device manufacturers to document "transfers of value" to physicians and teaching hospitals. Pharma and med-device spent a total of $6.49 billion on over 600,000 physicians and 1,100 teaching hospitals in that year, says CMS. In 2014, following several delays, CMS reported on the latter five months of 2013 under the Open Payments system, and with a sizable percentage of exclusions due to validation

Vial label has 10 detachable parts for documentation, medication safety tracking
Schreiner MediPharm develops the 10-part label as an extension of its Pharm-Comb series
Especially in clinical settings, having a multipart label serves a variety of safety and ease-of-use functions for nurses and other healthcare providers (HCPs). It is common in many settings to detach part of the label (which can contain the product name, dosage or other trackable data) and append it to a patient record. The detachable part can also serve as a step in documenting treatment for billing purposes. Overall, the multipart label ensures compliance with the "right drug, right patient ..." mantra of HCPs. To this end, Schreiner MediPharm (Baluvelt, NY) has developed an unusually comprehensive, 10-part

That growth rate is down from 2015's 6.8% (projected a year ago), and from 11.9% in 2007, the first year of the HRI report. The cost curve has been bent downward, based on HRI's analysis, but it remains above the general rate of inflation

Obamacare's vindication will likely add momentum to insurance-giant mergers

Last week, Anthem Health went public with what is now a $47.5-billion hostile takeover bid for Cigna; previously, UnitedHealth had made an offer for Aetna, and both Cigna and Aetna have reportedly made approaches to Humana.

E-prescribing growth up 19% in 2014 through the SureScripts network

The SureScripts network, which has been at the forefront of establishing e-prescribing among practitioners and pharmacies, has released its 2014 report, highlighting a growth of 19% in e-prescribing volume over 2013. According to the report, 1.2 billion prescriptions (which SureScripts counts as 67% of new--not refill--prescriptions available to be so prescribed) were transacted in 2014. This occurred with the participation 98% of chain pharmacies, 88% of independent pharmacies and 56% of prescribers. SureScripts is also one of the bright spots in the electronic health record (EHR) environment, where non-interoperability among the hundreds of EHR systems is a painful shortcoming; SureScripts says that it processed

The Dallas Stars used a balanced offense to cool off the Minnesota Wild. Jamie Benn, Ray Whitney and Cody Eakin each had a goal and an assist Friday night to lead the Stars to a 5-3 victory and end the Wild's seven-game winning streak. Erik Cole and Tomas Vincour also scored for Dallas, which moved within one point of the Western Conference's final playoff spot. Jaromir Jagr also earned his 1,000th career NHL assist. After losing to the Wild on Monday at home, the Stars regrouped and rebounded with a strong effort, scoring three third-period goals -- two on power plays -- to earn the victory. ''It was real big for us, we needed the points to claw our way into that top eight,'' Dallas coach Glen Gulutzan said. ''I thought we were more focused and determined to play a direct game from the beginning. ''I just think we played with more grit. We capitalized on our power plays, and those were the things that we didn't do (Monday) in the third.'' Kari Lehtonen, who gave up six goals ...

Public displeasure continued to be voiced Tuesday over the current busing situation for Catholic students living in the township.
A handful of residents, including township Trustee Jim Davis, addressed the Austintown school board during Tuesday's regular meeting, urging the members to change their minds about cutting busing to Catholic schools outside of the township.
The proposal, announced in May, offers public-transit vouchers to private-school students instead of using district vehicles.
It would affect students at St. Christine, Ursuline and Mollie Kessler schools beginning this fall. Youngstown Christian School went through the same process with Austintown schools last year. School officials and parents there fought the decision and said none of their students uses Western Reserve Transit Authority buses.
Davis asked the board to overturn the superintendent's decision and reinstate busing to private schools. The board didn't address his request.
Davis said he attended the meeting as a trustee, on behalf of township residents, as well as a taxpayer, on behalf of his daughter who he intends to eventually send to private school.
"Would you put your 8-year-old on a WRTA bus?" he asked. "I intend to send my daughter to private school. ... I would walk my kid the five miles to school every day before putting them on that bus."
Last week, Austintown school officials met with officials from the Diocese of Youngstown, Youngstown Christian and WRTA to discuss the busing plan, as well as potential alternative options.
Austintown Superintendent Vincent Colaluca said the group will meet again Thursday behind closed doors to continue the dialogue.
"Now we're looking at alternative means of transportation and what the cost factors of those are," he said. Though he wouldn't identify specific options they're discussing, Colaluca said he expects progress to be made.
Colaluca said he knows that cutting busing to private schools has affected a great number of people. He said though it was a choice many are unhappy with, it was necessary to continue serving Austintown students at a high academic level.
"We're sticking to our mission to concentrate on academics in Austintown," he said.
"We have a $2 million loss in state funding, and we haven't cut one academic class."
"We're sticking to our mission to concentrate on academics in Austintown," he said.
Give me a break!!! GET RID OF THE DOUBLE DIPPERS LIKE BOKESCH AND OTHERS AND YOU WILL HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY! NEVER VOTE FOR ANOTHER SCHOOL LEVY UNTIL THEY RIGHT THIS WRONG AND REPLACE THESE ADMINISTRATORS WITH THOSE WHO TRULY CARE ABOUT THE KIDS!!!!
Why should Austintown pay to transport students to other schools? That is just asenine. If parents want to send their children to private school that is their decision but don't expect someone else to pay for their childs transportation. Everybody wants a handout. If private school is so important to you then YOU find a way to get your child there.

The front row trio of Denis Buckley, Jason Harris-Wright and Nathan White (captain) remains while Mike McCarthy is alongside Michael Swift.
Meanwhile, in the back row, versatile forward George Naoupu returns to his regular number eight position and Eoin McKeon is moved to 7.
Dragons speedsters Tonderai Chavhanga and Adam Hughes both return to tackle the Irishmen.
Scrum-half Wayne Evans is included in the line-up amongst the men of Gwent and Jonathan Evans will be joined on the bench by Ashley Smith.
The forwards are again rewarded for their impressive performances after both derby matches and remain in the team. There are no other changes to the regional side's team who last faced the Ospreys at home in the RaboDirect Pro 12 league on New Year's Eve.
Connacht: 15 Robbie Henshaw, 14 Danie Poolman, 13 Eoin Griffin, 12 Dave McSharry, 11 Fetu'u Vainikolo, 10 Dan Parks, 9 Kieran Marmion, 8 George Naoupu, 7 Eoin McKeon, 6 Andrew Browne, 5 Mike McCarthy, 4 Michael Swift, 3 Nathan White (capt), 2 Jason Harris-Wright, 1 Denis Buckley.
Replacements: 16 Ethienne Reynecke, 17 Brett Wilkinson, 18 Ronan Loughney, 19 Mick Kearney, 20 Eoghan Grace, 21 Paul O'Donohoe, 22 Matthew Jarvis, 23 Tiernan O'Halloran.
Dragons: 15 Hallam Amos, 14 Tom Prydie, 13 Adam Hughes, 12 Andy Tuilagi, 11 Tonderai Chavhanga, 10 Lewis Robling, 9 Wayne Evans, 8 Toby Faletau, 7 Nic Cudd, 6 Lewis Evans (capt), 5 Rob Sidoli, 4 Andrew Coombs, 3 Dan Way, 2 Sam Parry, 1 Phil Price.
Replacements: 16 Hugh Gustafson, 17 Owen Evans, 18 Nathan Buck, 19 Adam Jones, 20 Tom Brown, 21 Jonathan Evans, 22 Ashley Smith, 23 Jack Dixon.

It's called makeup, that's what is wrong with her eyes.
It's called makeup, that's what is wrong with her eyes.
Derivative pop stars with derivative pop stars. Fascinating.
A dude with neck tattoos and this teenager girl in the same commercial? WHO THE FUCK IS THIS GAME TARGETED AS?
And to think, Travis Barker used to be cool... I remember the days of The Baron von Tito....
" Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you and 'Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had the best commercial targeted towards a casual videogame audience of all time. ALL TIME! Old joke but very appropriate. "
I'm so glad I have no idea who these people are.
You broke my heart Rivers, you broke my heart.
Band Hero? More like; Bland Hero.
I think in all seriousness, This game is targeted towards Mid-teen girls or kids whos parents find rock and roll will rot thier poor child's young minds. Or simply put, idiot's who don't know better.
The kind of people who more than likely have never played one of these games before because theyre "stupid" but because thier Idol Taylor Swift is in it, it's cool. You know? Those type of people who you go to school / work with that mostly listen to whats new on the radio and any song thats been out for more than a month is "OLD". That's who this game is targeted to.
So! Congradulations Activision for making slumber parties and the "I'm too cool for that" crowd more enjoyable. (Not really)
Really, they made a Risky Business parody commercial? I never would have guessed!!!!
Why is Taylor asian but not?
dammit rivers and travis what are you doing!?
" dammit rivers and travis what are you doing!? "
" Band Hero? More like; Bland Hero. "Heyyoo!! This commercial reminds me of the intro to brutal legend for whatever reason. Probably because of the commercialized catchy terribleness.
" dammit rivers and travis what are you doing!? "What are pop musicians who stopped being relevant 10 years ago doing making an Activision commercial?
Why do you want me to suffer like that Giant Bomb? :(
I didn't think it was possible, but now I'm even more confused about who this game is for.
they need to stop with the dumb ass 'Risky Business' skit. It was dumb the first time and it's dumb the 8th time.
Oh, Rivers.
Rivers 2009 meet Rivers 2008:
A commercial commercial. How quaint. Wait, no, the word I'm looking for is stupid. How stupid. How very stupid. I feel stupid for having watched this stupid thing.
Their milking the Risky Business parody for all it's worth just like the Guitar Hero franchise.
Who's the girl?
She talks like I should know who she is.
It's really fun for people to get together and do something.
Obviously these guys need some cash.
who the fuck is that girl?
I thought they used celebrities for commercials.
My Gawd, what is wrong with her eyes?!
@destruktive said:
" who the fuck is that girl? I thought they used celebrities for commercials. "I think it was one of the chicks from those Lavalife commercials I see late at night?
"I think he was reading off of it. It actually looked like a few of them were reading.
Wow, professional Travis Barker... playing on his fucking DS while being interviewed. Douche bag."
Oh Taylor, we all know the real reason you're doing this commercial. So you finally have an excuse to watch guys dance in their underwear. That would also explain why the Travis and Rivers are doing this, to hopefully get lucky. amirite? amirite? :P
" @destruktive said:that just confused me even more O,o" who the fuck is that girl? I thought they used celebrities for commercials. "I think it was one of the chicks from those Lavalife commercials I see late at night? "
shes not hot.
I don't know who any of these people are.
For the better I guess.
People this excited about a commercial ?
Oh, Come On!
Did anyone else think of the opening sequence in Brutal Legend when they were watching Travis' interview?
I love how these commercials are all rehashes since Guitar Hero World Tour's commercial. Oh wait what do you expect all of these games are all rehashes too, it all makes sense now.
HAHAHA dude playing his DS!!!!!!
Poor, poor Rivers.
" They won't let this Tom Cruise underwear thing die....... "elaborate please
" Band Hero? I can't keep up with all these "Band" and "Hero" games they seem to release a new one every three hours. "haha xD
" hahaha asif anyone thinks that wheezer are musical heros lol "Weezer is a pretty unique and influential alt-rock act .. not surprised if they're somebody's hero
" Rivers was probably drugged into thinking this is rockband or something "lmao.
" God! I hate Taylor Swift "thanks i was trying to know who that singer is from the comments cuz i dunno her.. i do know the name taylor swift though, and that she's another pop-ish singing b!mbo

The works of García Lorca, internationally recognized as Spain's most prominent lyric poet and dramatist of the twentieth century, are filled with thinly veiled homosexual motifs and themes.
There has always been homosexual involvement in American musical theatre and a homosexual sensibility even in straight musicals, and recently the Broadway musical has welcomed openly homosexual themes and situations.
Best known for his genius in art and architecture, Michelangelo was also an accomplished author of homoerotic poetry.
The African-American gay male literary tradition consists of a substantial body of texts and includes some of the most gifted writers of the twentieth century.
Combining elements of incongruity, theatricality, and exaggeration, camp is a form of humor that helps homosexuals cope with a hostile environment.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
On August 15, 2013, Dartmouth College's new president Philip J. Hanlon announced that he has rescinded the appointment of the Anglican Bishop of Southern Malawi James Tengatenga as dean of the William Jewell Tucker Foundation, a campus institution that focuses on furthering the moral, spiritual, and social justice work of the school. The appointment of Tengatenga, who is also chair of the Worldwide Anglican Communion's Anglican Consultative Council, had become controversial as his history of homophobic statements and actions came to light, including his support for the criminalization of homosexuality in Malawi.
When Tengatenga's appointment was announced on July 16, 2013, he was hailed as "a person of international stature and extraordinary perspective." The Interim Provost Martin Wybourne said that "His accomplishments and leadership make him an outstanding choice to lead the Tucker Foundation."
However, almost immediately after Tengatenga's appointment was announced, reports started to circulate about his statements and actions regarding gay rights. Some of these are detailed by Dartmouth undergraduate Andrew Longi in a blog at Huffington Post. For example, as chair of the Malawi Council of Churches, Tengatenga successfully lobbied the Malawian government to enforce draconian laws that carry penalties of up to 14 years in prison for committing homosexual acts after President Joyce Banda had suspended these laws in 2012. He also loudly called for the excommunication of bishops in the Anglican communion who support same-sex marriage. In addition, he vociferously opposed the ordination of Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire, the state in which Dartmouth is located.
Gay activists at Dartmouth, joined by the college chapter of the NAACP, quickly denounced the bishop's appointment as incompatible with the mission and vision of the Tucker Foundation.
In response to the growing dismay over the appointment, members of the search committee that recommended him told the college newspaper that Bishop Tengatenga did not really believe the things that he said but was merely mouthing the sentiments of the Church of the Province of Central Africa. Search committee chair Professor Irene Kacandes said he expressed his church's views, not his personal beliefs.
Even were that true, it would hardly say very much about the alleged courage and spiritual leadership for which he was extolled upon his appointment.
In an attempt to mollify his critics, Tengatenga issued a statement immodestly (and inaccurately) describing himself as having exercised "courageous leadership." He said "As a priest and a bishop, I have made it my life's work to advocate for human rights. I have worked and campaigned for the rights of youth and women. I have worked to end human trafficking and all forms of violence against women. I have risked my life by advocating good and just government."
Then, addressing the controversy, he said, "Let me state unequivocally and categorically that I consider all people equal regardless of their sexual orientation. The dignity of all should be honored and respected."
Alluding to President Obama's evolution on same-sex marriage, Tengatenga said his "ideas about homosexuality have evolved over time. I'm not ashamed to say that, but I also think I'm not alone, and I think it's important to have some historical context."
Most astoundingly, he completely reversed his recently held positions.
Instead of being the blasphemy he had previously described it, he said he now views "the 2003 consecration of V. Gene Robinson as Episcopal bishop of New Hampshire" as "an extraordinary gift because it forced people--from parishioners to bishops to people outside the church--to think carefully and critically about the issue of homosexuality and gay rights. As a result, many of us came to very different understandings of the faith and the gospel."
He concluded, "So, let me be clear. I support marriage equality and equal rights for everyone, and I look forward to working with everyone at Dartmouth--everyone. I believe that discrimination of any kind is sinful. When I say that I am committed to the human rights of all, I mean all."
Patently an opportunistic ploy to keep his position, the letter convinced no one. Adrienne Clay, African and African-American studies department program coordinator told The Dartmouth, "Although Tengatenga's new statement strikes some encouraging notes, it seems very polished and a little too ambiguous for my taste. How do we measure Tengatenga? By a statement directed to a college audience in the U.S. or by his words and actions, as well as inaction, over the past decade?"
Lisa Wangsness of the Boston Globe reports that President Hanlon made his decision after a meeting with Tengatenga last week.
In announcing the decision to rescind the appointment, Hanlon said that "Dartmouth's support of gay rights and members of the LGBTQ community is complete and unwavering, as is our commitment to a campus that is diverse, welcoming, and inclusive. In light of concerns--specifically surrounding gay rights--expressed by members of our community about the appointment of Malawi Bishop Dr. James Tengatenga as the dean of the Tucker Foundation, I felt it was important for me to meet with him personally."
"It was in this context that I sat down recently with Dr. Tengatenga and asked tough questions about his earlier statements on homosexuality. We also discussed his leadership within an Anglican Church in Africa that has often been hostile regarding gay rights."
"Dr. Tengatenga spoke to me about his inspiring life of service to some of the world's most vulnerable people, especially victims of HIV-AIDS. In passionate terms, he described his commitment to gay rights and how he has worked to support the LGBTQ community in Malawi in the ways that are most effective, given the country's cultural context."
"However, following much reflection and consultation with senior leaders at Dartmouth, it has become clear to me that Dr. Tengatenga's past comments about homosexuality and the uncertainty and controversy they created have compromised his ability to serve effectively as dean of Tucker."
"The foundation and Dartmouth's commitment to inclusion are too important to be mired in discord over this appointment. Consequently, we have decided not to move forward with the appointment of Dr. Tengatenga as dean of the Tucker Foundation."
The "courageous leadership" evinced in this painful episode has been exercised not by the pusillanimous bishop who allegedly did not mean the demeaning things he said about gay people, but by the new president of Dartmouth College, whose belief in human rights is demonstrated by his swift action in rescinding the ill-advised appointment.
I hope that African leaders who aspire to international careers find a lesson here. Encouraging human rights abuses even when they are popular at home may prove costly in the long run.

GVX Audio: Vols quarterback saga hasn't affected recruiting outlook for 2014
Tennessee's ongoing quarterback saga hasn't had any impact on the Vols' recruiting outlook just yet.
Ryan Callahan, recruiting analyst for News Sentinel partner GoVols247, said the Vols currently only have one major quarterback target in the 2014 class.
Coaches are still pursuing Jalan McClendon, a Charlotte native who committed to North Carolina State in May.
The fact that Tennessee isn't aggressively pursuing many quarterbacks this year is an indication that coaches would like to keep all four of their current quarterbacks in the fold. That means using diplomacy to make sure no one transfers, especially true freshmen Riley Ferguson and Josh Dobbs.
"Beyond (McClendon), there's really not any other quarterback in the 2014 class that Tennessee's pursuing," Callahan said. "It's a tricky situation, and that's why I think that one of the reasons they've been very careful about making any statements about which freshman quarterback is ahead of the other."

Police have been chipping away at the case since firefighters discovered the 86-year-old's body riddled with stab wounds in his basement on Dec. 3. Martin's killers torched his Campbell Street home in an attempt to cover the crime, police said.
Click HERE for more stories about the Murder, Arson on Campbell Street
At least 10 pieces of evidence were submitted to Ohio BCI's crime lab over the past two months, but the fire's heat damaged the items, and no DNA matches were found other than Martin's.
Last week, Sandusky police detectives Dana Newell and Gary Wichman hauled a new batch of evidence to the lab and conferred with agents about the ongoing case.
"We pretty much took everything we had up there" Wichman said.
Police have collected more than 70 DNA samples and potential pieces of evidence connected with the case. Many of those samples are DNA swabs from people police have interviewed, Wichman said, but mixed in the lot are also items found at the crime scene.
While they were there, Wichman and Newell exchanged notes with BCI agents about the investigation.
"They listened to what we've done so far and basically gave their input on that," Wichman said. "They gave a few more suggestions, but they felt we're headed in the right direction"
Wichman said BCI's priority is developing a DNA profile of the likely killer, or killers, and Sandusky police will continue working on leads until those DNA results produce a match.
Investigators have interviewed a myriad of people since the night Martin died, ruling out many of them as suspects.
"It's a process of elimination. We definitely have four angles we're looking at" Wichman said, adding they may soon rule out one of those leads.
A large part of the investigation thus far has been piecing together the order of events in the hours before Martin died, Wichman said.
"We're working with (the state) fire marshals to learn about the progression of the fire, which will give us a better timeline" Wichman said.
Surveillance footage shows two people hurrying from the area minutes before neighbors reported the fire, and two people approaching the home about 45 minutes prior.
It's been more than two months since Martin was killed, but Wichman is confident Sandusky police are headed in the right direction.
"Every day we're making progress, talking with witnesses, watching videos, working the case" he said. "We haven't taken any steps back and we haven't hit any slumps"
A $5,000 reward is being offered to anyone who can provide information leading to an arrest. Wichman again asked community members to come forward with anything suspicious they may have seen that night.

Plan for natural gas service up for vote in May
White Oak residents are one step closer to having access to natural gas service for their homes.
Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley told about 50 people – most from White Oak – that the Commission is slated to vote next month on a plan from Atmos to extend service to neighborhoods and subdivisions not being currently served. Presley was in town last week to conduct a town hall meeting, the 136th such meeting for Presley during his terms on the PSC.
"This is a plan unlike anywhere in America," Presley said. "We're trying to do something that should have been done 70 years ago."
Funding cuts threaten future of Tunica Airport
Asked to comment during the county meeting this week, airport director Cliff Nash was blunt.
"This is the last month for the airport to operate without funding," Nash said. "We will close the doors at the end of next month (April)."
Nash said in an interview Tuesday that only $54,225 has been paid to the airport since October 2014, despite the airport being budgeted for $320,000 for Fiscal Year 2015.
"That was 57 percent less than what (the airport) asked for, and as of March 31 this year, we have received 16.9 percent of that $320,000."
New judge, new date in town vs. co.
A new judge has been assigned to consider competing motions for preliminary injunction by the town and county, and since last week, a new court date has been assigned.
Chief Justice William L. Waller, Jr. of the Mississippi Supreme Court issued an order on March 25 appointing Senior Status Judge Henry L. Lackey of Calhoun City as special judge in Case no. 14-0169, Tunica County, Mississippi vs. Town of Tunica and Tunica County, Mississippi School District, at the request of the judges for the Circuit Court here.
"...this request is necessitated by the recusal of the Judges for said County by virtue of an Order of Recusal executed ... on March 24, 2014."
Chief Justice Waller's order follows on the heels of the order of recusal issued last week by Senior Circuit Court Judge Albert B. Smith III.
Tunica County Claims approved on March 2
The claims docket approved by Tunica County Board of Supervisors on March 2 totaled $4,850,488.86. It is unclear whether checks have been written and mailed for all the invoices.
Here is a partial breakdown of the claims from February that were submitted for approval:

Five quietly creeping into 1st round conversation
Posted on: March 27, 2011 1:50 pm
Score: 134
Log-in to rate:
Log-in to rate:
Over the past week, I've spoken to representatives of nearly a third of the league's teams in an effort to nail down which 32 players will hear their name called out during the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
At this point, there appears to be some consensus on roughly 25 players as first round picks. There are another 15, however, vying for those final eight spots.
We all know that Washington quarterback Jake Locker and Maryland wide receiver Torrey Smith are among those players on the bubble. But there are several other players who have generated significantly less buzz but who are quietly earning serious first round consideration from some clubs.
Here are five surprising names you could wind up hearing on April 28.
(Players are listed alphabetically)
DT Marvin Austin, North Carolina : There are still plenty of teams who remain nervous about Austin's intangibles, but of the five listed here, the former UNC defensive tackle is the most talented football player. Teams are as willing to gamble on size and athleticism on the defensive line as any position in football (other than perhaps QB). If the anticipated early run on defensive linemen transpires, don't be surprised if a 4-3 team drafting in the mid 20s to low 30s gambles on Austin's upside.
QB Andy Dalton, TCU : I know of plenty of teams who grade Dalton as a late 2nd to mid 3rd round pick, but most believe he'll come off the board sooner than that. The belief among many, in fact, is that Dalton will be off the board by the mid portion of the second frame. That could push a team like Seattle to take him at No. 25 or for another club to trade back into the late portion of the first round to secure his services, similar to how Detroit traded up (with the Vikings) last year to nab running back Jahvid Best.
OC Rodney Hudson, Florida State : Florida's Mike Pouncey is getting most of the attention of draft fans and what little remains is generally being dedicated to Baylor's Danny Watkins -- at least when it comes to interior offensive linemen as possible first round picks. There do appear to be clubs with contingency plans involving Hudson, however. The former Seminole is an exceptionally safe player capable of contributing immediately.
OLB Brooks Reed, Arizona : After a rather ho-hum senior season at defensive end for the Wildcats, Reed's stock skyrocketed with a strong Senior Bowl and Combine. Add to this the fact that roughly half of the league's teams are now running a 3-4 base and this outside linebacker prospect is getting a lot of late first round attention.
DE Jabaal Sheard, Pittsburgh : Sheard is smaller than teams would like as a 4-3 defensive end and perhaps not quite as smooth an athlete as teams would like as a 3-4 rush linebacker. That said, I've spoken to representatives of clubs operating both alignments that feel that he could wind up a pretty solid player in either front due to Sheard's natural pass rush skills, surprising strength and high-revving motor.

Re: Five quietly creeping into 1st round
I can't see Sheard being a late first rounder sorry. I've heard Hudson could be a boom or bust type of lineman. Dalton and add in Ponder why would teams that need a QB in the top 15 draft one in the first round? Carolina,Buffalo,Cincy (if trade Palmer) etc could wait to get Dalton or Ponder in the 2nd instead of using their no1 pick for possibly Gabbeet or Newton.
Reed and austin could be possible late first rounders. Seems like the def tackles Wilkerson and now Austin could be nice late first rounders although Austin I question since he never as performed up to ability at North Carolina.

Then you've heard wrong about Hudson. He's one of the safer picks in this entire draft class. The issue with HUdson is that he is a good college guard, but doesn't have the size you want ot play there in the pros in most schemes. Put him on Houston or any other team that has a zone blocking line, and he can be a solid OG. But for most other teams, he projects better inside at center. And the only concern there is how quickly is he going to transition to OC. He should transition well. I think as a center he has the potential to be a Pro Bowler, somewhere around where LeCharles Bentley or Olin Kreutz.
He's one of the few OCs in this draft class IMO that clearly have a high enough upside over Hawley that I think it would be worthwhile to draft him for the Falcons. Problem is that the Falcons have many other more pressing needs and it will likely require the Falcons using their 2nd round pick on him at a very non-priority position.

He's back: Scott Gomez will save Montreal's season
Jan 14, 2012, 11:37 AM EDT
After sending new scapegoat Mike Cammalleri out of town, an old one returns to the lineup for Montreal tonight.
Scott Gomez will return to the Canadiens' lineup after being out since November 23 with a lower body injury. Gomez has been the focus of boos and general ill feelings in Montreal surrounding the Habs' disappointing season. When you make over $7 million against the cap and put up wildly disappointing numbers in a hockey crazed market, these things happen.
Gomez returns to a team that's in desperate need of things to go right for them. Seeing Gomez return to being a playmaker and penalty killer would do a lot to lift the spirits of the Canadiens, although with how things have gone in Montreal since his arrival, optimism isn't easy to find.
Through just 13 games this season, Gomez has just four assists and is coming off a disappointing season that saw him net just 38 points last year while also ending up a -15 in plus/minus. If the poor play continues, perhaps Gomez can take a page out of Cammalleri's book and tell it like it is to get traded himself.

I'm sure the wonderfully supportive and classy "Forum Faithful" will be extremely patient with their returning star…until he touches the puck…
- dolanster - Jan 14, 2012 at 2:34 PM
One good French-flavored crack will get him teed for a trade to Columbus or the Islanders. Not sure if that's a win for him though.
- uscthom78 - Jan 14, 2012 at 4:15 PM
They are also booing him because he's anglo.
- bcjim - Jan 14, 2012 at 6:41 PM
He is not even anglo. Who knows where "Gomez" ranks on the Frenchie superiority scale.
- petriskriko - Jan 14, 2012 at 5:03 PM
Yes, I'm sure Gomez would be nothing but encouraged by the home fans if he played for any other team. It's only Habs fans that get upset when a $7 million player does absolutely nothing.

Product Details
The AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ is a high-speed analog module designed to showcase the AD9361, a high performance, highly integrated RF transceiver intended for use in RF applications, such as 3G and 4G base station and test equipment applications, and software defined radios. Its programmability and wideband capability make it ideal for a broad range of transceiver applications. The device combines an RF front end with a flexible mixed-signal baseband section and integrated frequency synthesizers, simplifying design-in by providing a configurable digital interface to a processor or FPGA. The AD9361 chip operates in the 70 MHz to 6 GHz range, covering most licensed and unlicensed bands. The AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ board comes specifically tuned and optimized to 2.4 GHz and due to the limitations of the on-board discrete external components, it may exhibit diminished RF performance on some other programmed configurations. The chip supports channel bandwidths from less than 200 kHz to 56 MHz by changing sample rate, digital filters, and decimation, all programmable within the AD9361 itself.
The AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ provides RF engineers the ability to connect the AD9361 to a RF testbench (Vector Signal Analyzer, Signal generator, etc) and measure performance. The external components (which can easily be swapped) on the AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ have a narrower RF tuning range 2400 – 2500 MHz. It is expected that most engineers will change these external components (pin for pin replacements from various vendors are available) for their specific application/frequency of interest. Anyone interested in a wider tuning range board should look at the AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ.
