All of the students who made it to the spelling bee Wednesday should be proud of their accomplishment, said Boone County School Superintendent John Hudson.The spelling bee featured 24 students from all 11 elementary and 3 middle and junior high schools in the county. All students received a Websters dictionary for participating and trophies were given to the winner and runner-up, as well as the written test winners.Participants included Aaron Adkins, Brianna Adkins, Zion Bourne, Matthew Britton, Abby Brown, Chase Ceserta, Kristen Cochran, Ethan Curry, Jacob Ferrell, Nathan Hager, Laura Heike, Madilyn Jarrett, Jordan Kish, Hannah Layton, Hannah Massey, Cameron Maynard, Brooke McCormick, Abby Monhollen, Nathan Ramsey, Anna Rolen, Amelia Setser, Chloe Toney, Emily Wood and Breanna Workman.The three judges were all former Boone County educators, which included Rita Church, Phyllis Turley and former superintendent Gary Sumpter.

South Plains wins seventh consecutive Men's Track & Field championshipMay 18, 2013
HUTCHINSON, Kan. – The South Plains College men's track team tied for the second-longest run of national championships in NJCAA history on Saturday by capturing the 2013 NJCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Hutchinson Community College's Gowans Stadium.
The Texans won title No. 6 with relative ease, outscoring national runner-up Iowa Central 140-103.
South Plains ties Barton CC (Kan.) – which ran seven-straight titles from 1998-2004 – for the second-most consecutive men's national track titles. Blinn College (Texas) won nine-straight national championships from 1987-95.
The Texans used superior depth to win the 2013 national championship.
South Plains won four event championships on Saturday. Jovan Davis won the 400-meter hurdles and Jarvis Gotch won the long jump. The Texans also won the 4x100-meter relay and the 4x400-meter relay. The 4x400 meter relay's time of 3:05.91 was a Gowans Stadium record.
South Plains scored multiple points in seven different events on Saturday, getting 11 points out of the 100 meters, 19 points from the 400 meters, 13 points from the 110 hurdles, 12 points in the long jump, seven in the high jump and five in the 800 meters.
Gotch was the only double-event winner by the Texans. He also ran a leg on the winning 4x100-meter relay.
Three other athletes were double-event winners during the Championships.
Western Texas' Omar Johnson was named the Male Track Athlete of the Meet. He won the 200 and 400 meters and ran a leg on Western's 4x400-meter relay team.
Pau Tonnesen was named the Male Field Athlete of the Meet. One day after winning the Decathlon for the second-straight year, Tonnesen added a national pole vault championship and eighth-place finish in the high jump.
Iowa Central's Alex Deir won both the 3,000-meter steeplechase on Friday and added the 1,500 meters on Saturday.

CHARLESTON — A Scott High School student has been honored by the state senate for receiving the national GEAR UP Youth of the Year award.
Senator Ron Stollings of Boone County, along with Senators Art Kirkendoll of Logan, Bob Plymale of Wayne, John Unger of Berkeley, Mike Green of Raleigh and Bob Williams of Taylor County sponsored the resolution honoring Kendyl Ryan.
Ryan, a senior at Scott High in Madison, has been a participant in the GEAR UP program since 2008. She was chosen from among thousands of candidates nationwide at the GEAR UP national conference in Washington, D.C. earlier this year.
Stollings said he and his colleagues wanted to recognize Ryan "for her outstanding accomplishment, her work in the community, and for setting an example for all West Virginians of what can be accomplished with hard work, dedication and spirit."
The senate resolution, approved last week, says Ryan "has overcome many obstacles and challenges in her life and has developed into a young leader and role model to her siblings and peers."
The resolution noted that the GEAR UP program is designed to "significantly increase both the academic performance and the rigorous preparation of students who participate in post-secondary education."

In contrast to other countries, the launch of Street View was met with considerable resistance from politicians and privacy protection advocates in Germany, including the country's consumer protection minister, Isle Aigner of the conservative Christian Social Union, who criticized the service as an incursion on people's privacy. (... )
As was widely expected, one doesn't have to look very far in Street View to find homes that have been blurred out. Prior to the introduction of the service, more than 244,000 households in the first 20 cities to be placed online submitted requests to have their homes blurred out. Google claims the figure represents only 3 percent of households. (...)
Nevertheless, there are considerable obstructed images in the German version of Street View. In any instance where an apartment renter asked to have their flat pixilated, Google blurred out the entire building they live in. Data protection authorities believe that up to a million households across the country have been blurred out by the company.
November 18, 2010
Germany's Blurry Street View
Google has finally added street level imagery for some of the biggest cities from Germany: Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Munich and 16 other cities. Unfortunately, many of the images are blurred because of privacy concerns. According to Spiegel, the launch has been delayed for several years.

One more step towards a consistent Google Docs interface: Google Spreadsheets has been redesigned and it now includes the same old-fashioned menu like the word processor and the presentation app.
"We were hoping to accomplish three things with it: make it faster, make it more consistent with our siblings (documents and presentations), and give us more room to add features without clutter," explains Google.
The toolbar includes some of the most frequently used features, but I don't think Google did a job at ordering them: for example, the cell formatting options are too prominent, while pasting and sorting have been neglected. It's great that the formulas can be added without switching to a different tab and you can share the spreadsheet without opening a new page. The most stylish UI element is the chat box that can be loaded by clicking on "(name) is viewing...".
If you don't remember the previous interface, here's a screenshot:
A very cool new feature is the full-screen mode: press Ctrl+Shift+F repeatedly to alternate between two full-screen views and the standard view. The same shortcut lets you switch to the full-screen mode in the word processor, but you need to press Esc to return to the normal mode. Where is the consistency?

Author information
William Strunk, Jr. first used his own book, The Elements of Style, in 1919 for his English 8 course at Cornell University. The book was published in 1935 by Oliver Strunk. E. B. White was a student in Professor Strunk's class at Cornell, and used "the little book" for himself. Commissioned by Macmillan to revise Strunk's book, White edited the 1959 and 1972 editions of The Elements of Style.
Customer reviews
By John Smithee 13 May 2012
"The Elements of Style" was recommended to me by Stephen King in his book "On Writing". I see it as basically filling in the gaps that King left in his book. King's book was more concerned with the practical matters of writing, whereas, TEOS is all about LANGUAGE and how to use it, which King only touched upon.
And this book certainly packs a lot of information and advice, especially given that it is only 85 pages long. It has five chapters. The first chapter is called ELEMENTARY RULES OF USAGE and contains eleven grammatical tips, from the use of commas and semi-colons to structuring of a sentence. The second chapter, ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES OF COMPOSITION, is more about writing style and ways to keep your writing punchy and fresh. Chapter 3, A FEW MATTERS OF FORM, mostly concerns physical presentation of your work and may be more suitable to formal letter writing that fiction, but may be useful to other forms nonetheless. Chapter 4 is about WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS COMMONLY MISUSED and includes some of my pet hates, including those who turn "I couldn't care less" into "I could care less", thus completely destroying the meaning of the phrase. I also learned a few new things from this section. The fifth chapter is called AN APPROACH TO STYLE and contains 21 general tips, or "reminders", about how to keep your writing consistent and stop it going bad. A lot of my description here sounds very general and vague, and makes most of the sections sound the same, but trust me that it all makes sense and has a point in the book that I just can't quite explain - I need a bigger vocab!
There are one or two minor problems with the book. For example, as Stephen King points out, it says that the most important part of a sentence should always go at the end - but is "With a hammer he killed Frank" really better than "He killed Frank with a hammer"? I don't think so, either. Also, it seems to me that a lot of this advice, particular when it comes to grammar, depends on your own comforts and preferences and those of your editor and/or publisher. That doesn't mean we should pay it no heed, but I do believe that you can quite easily get away with ignoring half of this book's advice and still be a respected, published writer.
But overall, an excellent little book that I think every writer should read, whether they are beginners or highly experienced. The writing style of Strunk himself is straightforward and formal, occasionally venturing into humour and informality, which means that you are likely to learn something by reading it, but unlikely to be bored while doing so.
Highly recommended to writers of all talents.

Back cover copy
Some acclaim for previous editions: "Buy it, study it, enjoy it. It's as timeless as a book can be in our age of volubility." "The New York Times" "No book in shorter space, with fewer words, will help any writer more than this persistent little volume." "The Boston Globe" "White is one of the best stylists and most lucid minds in this country. What he says and his way of saying it are equally rewarding." "The Wall Street Journal" "The book remains a nonpareil: direct, correct, and delightful." "The New Yorker" ." . . Should be the daily companion of anyone who writes for a living, and for that matter, anyone who writes at all." "Greensboro (N.C.) Daily News" "This excellent book, which should go off to college with every freshman, is recognized as the best book of its kind we have." "St. Paul Dispatch Pioneer Press "It's hard to imagine an engineer or a manager who doesn't need to express himself in English prose as part of his job. It's also hard to imagine a writer who will not be improved by a liberal application of "The Elements of Style."" "Telephone Engineer & Management" "

I said in February how I was really looking forward to watching some good baseball this spring.
I said I wanted to catch a good game.
Getting my walking in by huffing it between the baseball and softball fields at Berkeley this spring I was able to catch a few good games, and on Wednesday night of last week, I was able to catch a little history as well.
For the baseball team, this senior class (Chris Wrenn, Josh Clarke, Andrew Lockliear and Brandon Browder) were able to accomplish something 50 years of senior classes were not able to do, and that's win a region championship. Coincidentally, or maybe ironically, the Stags chose this night to honor the 1960 and 1963 Stags baseball team prior to the game. These guys were Class A Lower State Champs then, and they did it twice, but whether or not they won a region title is unclear. I say that if it's not hanging from the rafters in the gym chances are it didn't happen, which would mean a region championship in baseball at Berkeley hadn't happened since World War II.
Last year the Stags won the district championship, as did the 1960 and 1963 Stags. But Cane Bay won the Region 7AAA championship last year and dogpiled near the mound on Jim Bradley Field.
Many members of this year's Stags had to stand and watch that celebration and did not like it much. Now, while they returned the favor a month later to celebrate the district championship on Cane Bay's diamond, it was not a region title.
What I saw Wednesday night was not one region championship celebration, but two.
And they occurred about eight minutes apart.
For the girls what their young team accomplished was unprecedented in Berkeley softball history. No team had ever won a region championship. This team fielded just four seniors also: Ashtin Kullnat, Katie Marsch, Lexi Sample and R.J. Reid, and in this case, Sample missed most of the season due to a knee injury so the burden of leadership fell to the remaining three.
My longwinded point in this is, if these Stags accomplished this now, with just four seniors each, and the rest of the teams comprised of juniors, sophomores and freshman, not to wish this season away anytime soon, but holy cow. Wait until next year.
"We're not finished yet," senior Brandon Browder said after their 10-0 win over Orangeburg-Wilkinson. "We have a lot of baseball to play yet."
The same goes for the girls, there's a lot of softball to be played.
And the best part is we get to see it all right here, on opposite sides of "Berkeley Lake."
A lot of good baseball and softball … you just have to be willing to walk a little bit.

So, many know that the developers of TESO are locking each race to a specific faction, and each faction to a set amount of the world. Everything else, minute the PvP zone, is off limits to your faction.
Here is what is official
"The Elder Scrolls Online features a three alliance system, with geographically separated alliances comprised of three races each. Races are restricted by alliance in order to generate and enhance their distinct identity. Each race is physically distinguishable from each other so in world PvP players can easily differentiate friends from foes."
"Each alliance's home area is unique, and the distinct identity of a alliances native provinces helps to foster realm pride amongst players and enhance the meta-conflict which fuels the social side of a three alliance realm war. For prolonged success of the AvA meta-game within the fan community, it is very important that players can identify themselves with their"
Now, the biggest complaint going around is that this locks players from exploring the rest of Tamriel.
What is the biggest respone to this? 'Role alts, and you can see everything"
So tell me. where the hell does faction pride come into play if we are all rolling characters from all three factions anyways?
Zenimax is developing a system that PROMOTES the creation of alts, unless you want to forgo seeing the rest of the world, and yet calls this fostering realm pride? Would not having pride for your realm mean you create alts ON THAT REALM?
I fail to see their explanation for anything else but utter bullshit and propaganda to explain away the fact it's far easier to just code a closed system then a true open system that TES is best known for. Of all the way Matt Firor could have put in it beloved RvRvR, he chose the one that LEAST OF ALL promote faction pride, as most people will want to explore the entire land of Tamriel, that until today, have only been able to see in bits and peices from the different games.
Bad move Zenimax.
The thing that really upsets me, is that they are dictating how us, as players, should develop faction pride. Instead of letting us find our own path, our own reason to join and fight for the faction we chose, they force this on you.
In the end, this faction pride us less about your own personal feelings, and comes down to "This is my highest level character, so this is my faction"

So by off limits you mean that there is no method by which an opposing alliance can enter a land even if its to raid upon said lands? You're not saying they'll be killed on sight, you're saying that there just are no physical means to see it period?

This game will fail plan and simple. People in the mmo gaming market need to wake up and see what they are doing. How many companies have to go under or change to free to play models just to realize this?
People want freedom in a game. Every time you put up a wall, it turns off players. The idea behinding making a great successful game is simple, but developing it is not. Sadly, most companies decide to take the easy way out for short profit gains, rather then decide a long time successful game.

Well there won't be open PvP in PvE zones .... Good move Zenimax.
But they could have made system, where some instances are open to PvP.

There reasoning for this is to PREVENT PvP outside of the Cyrodiil, the PvP zone. Unless you are killed instantly by some magical guards upon entering these other lands, then there will always be a way to enter, sneak around and kill unsuspecting players. However read this part again
"Players may not travel into the "home" areas beloning to enemy alliances. Therefore all PvP in ESO takes place within Cyrodiil. This limited exploration is intented to preserve faction identity, protect players from unsolicited PvP, and enhance replayability." Source

Yeah I created a similar thread a couple weeks back. In DAoC, people played the same Realm for months and even years without feeling the need to explore the other Realms. I think the reason why people aren't tolerant of the same design decision is because unlike DAoC, TES series has a history of being open world and explore the entire map. So naturally, the target market for an ESO game will want to explore the entire map, and when over half of the world isn't explorable unless you reroll, it doesn't sit well with a lot of the target market.

Games that encourge alts - WoW post BC, Swtor, GW2.
Man I hoping the character development in this game is amazing. Encouraging alts doesn't point to that though.

This is exactly like swtor...

I'm not much of an altaholic, I'd rather just get vested with one character and build him/her up strong, filling whatever bars or metrics the game has to offer. In a good game it takes years before I feel inclined to devote time on advancing a second character.
In a bad game focused on alts, I'll make them, sure, but I won't feel very invested in the game at all, and I won't be keeping the account very long anyways. If the leveling experience is better than any endgame content, then there are going to be widespread longevity issues. I eye leveling alts as "content" very suspiciously.
TESO does sound an awful lot like SWTOR. Zenimax didn't want anyone upset, so their solution was to prevent PVP outside of a specific campaign instance, create artificial barriers between the faction regions, and while this doesn't offend anyone, it does little to excite either MMO fans or ES fans. Seems like they didn't understand who their target audience is .. MMORPG'ers or SP RPG'ers...
I bet it looked great on paper though. Especially on exposure and profitability analysis charts.

IMO you make a good point with the first part of your post but the second part.....i just don't think that will be an issue for most people.
people will use that as a means to trash the game here on the forums, but in the real world the fact that you cannot go to the enemy area with one character will not make or break this game, even if it means less exploring with your main character.
even in open pvp games where you can go anywhere (i will use wow as an example) how often do people in general venture to those areas just to explore?
LOL its almost unheard of. not saying people don't do it but if there is no point in going there people generally wont do it.
the only time i notice them doing that is almost exclusively for pvp.
but if there is no pvp anyways? frankly, i just don't see a lot of people doing it and definitely do not see this as a mayor issue for this game.

Alts only need to be rolled by those whose enjoyment on an MMO depends of experiencing every last little bit of content it contains. Apparently this section of the MMO-playing public is huge--at least it appears so from the repetitive posts in this forum. And it's not just territorial content you are "missing out" on if you don't roll alts---if the game has 15 classes with 3 variants each...well have fun with your 45 characters. Or is experiencing territory that much more important to you than experiencing the 45 different ways to play?
Funny thing... I've played WOW on and off for 9 years. There are many large portions of the game world and some dungeons and raids I haven't seen....nor do I particularly want to. I guess this completionist achievement is way down my list of priorities.

Nothing to do be achievments or completionists.
TES games are based on Freedom.
Freedom to explore, freedon to choose, freedom to engage.
Locked factions removes one of the founding tennents of a TES game.
You don't need to look any futher or deeper as to why people don't like it so please stop trying so hard.

It's not so much that you need those hostile areas to explore and hang out in constantly, but rather that they are available, and you are free to go there if you choose to.
Seeing that opposite faction city or town and ducking behind trees to get a closer peek was fun. As in your WoW example, there were non-contested safe areas that enemies could visit but not initiate combat (they could be attacked though by anyone who belonged there). This was great for newbies because they were safe, but also heart pounding for enemies who could be spotted and killed / camped by defending players.
Exploring them was fun. The challenge came in when certain quests / items / or achievements could only be obtained in enemy territory. Stealth became a new mini-game.
Of course someone could opt not to do any of those activities, but they were always there if they changed their mind down the road. Blocking them off completely in TESO removes the possibilities, which separates the community into those who never cared and those who wanted more options and immersion.

I disagree that exploration is the biggest problem people have with the Faction Lock.
Issues with FL that I see based on what we currently know.
1. Races are locked. Its called faction lock, but race is the thing right? You and your friends and guildmates will only have 3 races to pick from.
2. Exploration is limited without alts.
3. Content issues. They have to make 3 times the content. There are all sorts of problems with this.
4. Fully Voice acted. I don't know if this means every quest or just npcs saying Hi when you click on them. If its really 'fully' and you have to do it 3 times this clearly can cause issues with content updates.

Even when Cata came out, I had to go back and look at what changed.
I know everyone has their own unique style of playing, but failing to even have a grasp on the game world sounds like maybe you shouldn't be playing an mmorpg. There are those facebook browser games that'll do the same thing for you...
OT, I understand the OP's frustrations... Sure DAoC had the frontier system and GW2 ran with it, but those weren't sandbox games which, for the longest time, is what people thought TESO was. Now, as more information filters out, people are slowly beginning to understand that that just isn't the case. For some it's good, some bad, either way, it's a game that doesn't allow you to seamlessly play all content and covers up that fact with buzz words like 'replayability.'

Its funny how Zenimax keep mentioning this "Faction Pride" when talking about their forced 3 faction system, then out of the other side of their mouth they then talk about rolling Alts for "replayability" reasons and to be able to see the entire gameworld.
How does one have pride in their faction if they are also rolling alts on the opposing factions?

People make characters in both factions in SWTOR all the time. A simple look at the general chat is all that is needed to see that despite having alts, players clearly prefer one faction over the other. That is what Faction Pride is all about. In fact, rolling alts to see the "other sides" can increase your Faction Pride (or make you switch to the dark side *cough*).

I never felt the need of seeing "Midgard". Like at all.
If one day it was nuked and obliterated to hell, with the squeal of cobolds and trolls growling in agony, my realm pride would rejoyce (clearly that would leave me with only the myrmidons zerg to fight but oh well... good times xD )
I hope to feel the same love/hate someday, being it in TESO or any other game with the same "zone lock" philosophy.

Disappearing from your guild to play another faction helps the side you love? hmm
Ah yes, then there is SWTOR. I don't want to play all the stories to see the whole game. I want to play one story and become powerful.
Not that power matters, because SWTOR also creates artificial barriers between the two sides, even to go so far as to make separate instances of a planet - one for Republic - one for Empire, so no conflicts will ever happen... carebears were never happier...
But the game wen't down the drain. The game had many flaws, but PVP restrictions were one of the culprits. Segregated PVP .. what a concept. Aren't these factions at war?? lulz.
If only the real world was like TESO. "You don't like my country? well nyaww nywaww .. you can't touch me because there is a force field and you can never enter." /toungestick

Research Abstract
Mitochondria are the powerhouses that generate energy by oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to support cellular activities, and are the integrators of cellular signals that promote different forms of cell death. Mitochondria are also known as the "powerhouses of diseases and aging", as mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with a rapidly growing number of aging-related neuromuscular degenerative diseases and metabolic disorders. How the mitochondrial function deteriorates during aging and how this in turn induces cellular degeneration are poorly understood. We use yeast, cultured cell lines and mouse as model systems to address these fundamental questions.
The ongoing research in our laboratory is focused on the following three projects:
(1) We are interested to understand how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to aging and aging-related diseases.
(2) We are interested to identify evolutionarily conserved pathways that can potentially delay and possibly, reverse mitochondria-induced cellular degeneration.
(3) We investigate the mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA recombination, replication and repair. Elucidating these fundamental processes could help better understanding how the mitochondrial system degenerates during aging.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgium's King Albert announced Wednesday that he will abdicate in favor of Crown Prince Philippe on July 21.
The move had been rumored for weeks and will end nearly two decades of steady reign over a fractious kingdom, one which has been increasingly torn apart by political strife between northern Dutch-speaking Flanders and French-speaking southern Wallonia.
Frail at 79, King Albert will be handing over the throne to his son Philippe, who is 53.
Albert says his "age and health" no longer allow him to carry out his functions as he would want to.
''After a reign of 20 years I believe the moment is here to hand over the torch to the next generation," Albert said in an announcement carried by all major broadcasters. ''Prince Philippe is well prepared to succeed me."
Belgium has had six kings since it came into being in 1830; Albert is the first to voluntarily abdicate from the throne.
In August, Albert would mark his second decade on the throne of the kingdom of 10.5 million people. The nation celebrates independence day on July 21 and many have said that could be an ideal day to hand over the largely ceremonial post.
Belgium is enjoying something of a political lull as it prepares for potentially bruising nationwide and regional elections next spring. Any abdication at that stage would be practically impossible.
"His most important gift is that he provided a sense of stability" as Flanders and Wallonia drifted apart, historian and author Marc Reynebeau told The Associated Press.
Reflecting the strife, a few dozen protesters of the extreme right Flemish Interest party posted themselves in front of the royal palace Wednesday with a huge banner that said "Flanders Independent."
At a family level, life has not been as smooth.
After he succeeded his devoutly Roman Catholic brother Baudouin in 1993, Albert became embroiled in a major royal scandal when he had to acknowledge the existence of an out-of-wedlock daughter, Delphine Boel, and suffered a major crisis in his marriage with Queen Paola.
That issue came to the fore again this spring when Boel opened court proceedings to officially prove she is the king's daughter.
''He is not alone. Many royals around the world have extramarital children. But there has been a change in the sense that this becomes much more public now," Reynebeau said.

Do you want Facebook Home on iOS? [Poll]
Facebook Home has just launched on Google Play, the Android app store, today. Kinda. Turns out Android may be openy, but it ain't easy. Right now the full Facebook Home experience is only available on the HTC First. An almost-full experience, minus the deeper system hooks HTC made for the First, can be downloaded and installed on other Android devices, but only if they're flagship Samsung or HTC phones. And only in certain countries. That means the shiny Nexus 4 I have sitting next to me right now isn't (yet) invited to this particular Facebook event, nor is any device in my home and native land of Canada.
Of course, Facebook Home isn't available for iOS at all, in any country. iOS does enjoy basic Facebook integration, but Apple doesn't allow for the level of system intermediation Facebook needs to make their alternative Home screen and messaging system work the way it does on Android (or at least some Android devices ins some regions). That's neither a good nor a bad thing, it just depends on what you prefer, and you're welcome to change platforms to the one that does things the way you like best.
However, the question remains -- if it was available today, would you want Facebook Home on your iPhone or iPad? You'd get that slick new interface, the ChatHeads, and all the rest, but you'd also be letting Facebook collect even more of your data, you'd be exposing your friends potentially private pictures and messages to anyone within eyeshot, and you'd be giving over the look of your device to whatever pictures were last uploaded to your newsfeed, be they Pulitzer prize material, or awkward drunken swimsuit shots. With cat memes thrown in.
It's clear we need new ideas in interface. The icon launcher has been around since the early days of Xerox and on mobile since the Newton. But are these the right ideas? Is Facebook Home something you'd want to have on iOS?
I've already written a bunch about Facebook Home, but now it's your turn. Vote in the poll up top and tell me how you really feel in the comments below, and if you have any questions, check out Android Central's ongoing coverage for the answers.

Do you want Facebook Home on iOS? [Poll]
SMS/MMS is integrated into Chat Heads. Even if you don't want the full Facebook Home experience, I am really enjoying the Chat Heads function on my Note II. I rarely ever used Facebook Messenger, but Chat Heads now gives you an iMessage/Windows Phone integrated messaging experience with an interface very much like iMessage (green for text and blue for FB Messaging).
Nooooooooooo! I like it the way it is. Thank You very much!
I'm not even on Facebook I'm not that lonely. And the morons that say "doin laundry" made me turn it off forever
I don't want facef*ck embedded that deep in my phone, no thank you Zukerberg
Keep this off iOS.
I want all "Ive" and no jive in iOS 7
Facebook home is way too intrusive. Even the chat heads that sit on your screen until you acknowledge them or flick them away. Why do they just sit there? They should just arrive and then fade away rather than take up space until you act on them.
For home, they are going to imbed ads so that you have to look at them rather than your friends and family updates also apps that are loaded in the Home app launcher and use the phones notifications will feed use information back to Facebook and third party in order to better target ad "content" to the phone. Home invites Facebook surveillance of your mobile activity and they do not have a good tract record of protecting your private information.
As I read this again I see that I sound like a conspiracy theorist but I do not assume the best when it comes to Facebook.
NO EFFING WAY! Facebook is annoying and cluttered. I wouldn't use Facebook Home if they paid me.
With the offering that is right now, I don't see it being of much use on my iPhone as the Facebook application itself is good enough for my needs. What I might like is a deeper integration with Facebook Contacts in iPhone Contacts app along with a possible screen for stream - I loved Windows Phone for bringing most of everything together in the People Hub and believe that to have been the perfect experience minus a few things with the best Facebook application (WP) for any platform that i've used thus far.
Don't get me wrong, I like Facebook Home but when it comes to iOS, I don't need it unless they come up with something that ties in with the iOS experience without being too intrusive.
I like being able to summon Facebook when I want it. For Facebook to be able to summon me is a role-reversal I have no desire to see. I want to keep the illusion that I am in charge of my user experience on mobile devices.
Glad Facebook Home can't come to iOS.
Not just no but hell no!
That doesn't really change anything. The form of acquiring the feature is irrelevant.
Siri is only available on the iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, iPad 4, iPad 3, and iPad mini.
Facebook Home is only available on the Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 2, One, One X, and One X+.
Looks to me like it's the same idea. Call both fragmentation or call neither fragmentation. You just can't call one fragmentation and not the other.
Both OS's have fragmentation. It's inevitable in any OS. The way you acquire a feature is relevant. That's what makes it fragmented. Siri isn't avalible to be downloaded. FB Home is. You cant download the NC, you cant download the hover feature on the GS4, you cant download the Notes pen app. On iOS this is the same as if you're running iOS4. Some apps don't support this version anymore. That's fragmented. A brand new device, running the latest version of the OS that can't use a new DOWNLOADABLE feature. That's what fragmentation is about. All have it to some degree. Apple controls it better.
Did you really have to throw that out there???? This thread & majority of recent posts have actually been quite civil in terms of OS arguments. Please don't start trouble for no reason bc all it takes is 1 moron (iOS moron or Android moron......I don't discriminate when it comes to fools, I'm an equal opportunity hater) to open the flood gates. Pretty much, don't be a douche
If I hit "reply" on your post it was a mistake & I apologize homie, as that 41BP troll was who I was directing that comment at.......you just happened to be one of the clowns that took his/her troll bait. Calm your tits with that "naturally-biased eyes" BS, as I hold no OS close to my heart....just whatever works for me. You could use iOS/Android/BB/etc & if your spewing nonsense I'll call you out on it. #EqualOpportunityHater
It's not a myth. It's a myth that it's materially hurting sales. Most android users don't know the concept and don't care about it.
Until they try things like this and get pissed that they just found out they can't use it.
That's not happening in reality to most users. And the fact that you have to say "until" shows it's not happening now. "fragmentation" is a phone nerd obsession that truly shows the difference between them and normal cell phone buyers that never walk into a store and go, "So what about fragmentation?"
Not at all. I barely use facebook. If you like facebook fine. but i don't want it commandeering my phone. I'm perfectly fine with just a facebook app. But part of the reason i barely use facebook is i don't really give a rats a-hole about what's going on with 90% of the facebook friends i have. Or at least i don't care about their posts.
I get both sides. I use fb randomly, mostly as a way to keep up to date with a couple of groups (old classmates and gymn friends). I find the current app perfect for me.
But I realize there are users that want more. My gf uses the fb above anyother. I'm sure she might chose here next phone exclusively because that feature.
No thanks! Hopefully Ives n' company will bring iOS into the present but until then I'm sticking with the icons. I for one don't want 'black booty girls' or some other idiotic thing that my 'friends' think is the rage coming up on my phone especially if I'm sitting with my business partners.
I personally could quite happily live without this. If it did come to iOS I would probably give it a go out of interest but the truth of the matter is that my Facebook feed seems to be filled with suggested articles, apps and ridiculous joke pictures which have been regurgitated a hundred times by different people rather than anything of any interest. Yes this is probably down to the quality of my social network friends but most ARE actually friends and I guess you don't really get to pick them. The way Facebook have presented this service with it's beautiful images of friends frolicking in the sun etc. is all well and good but it is most likely a million miles away from reality. Anyone who has a feed which is constantly that pleasing on the eye is doing well in my opinion. It's bad enough that my feed has been destroyed by this drivel, I don't want my iPhone's home screen to go the same way. Not to mention when Facebook decide to push the advertising aspect of this. Thanks but no thanks :)
If I want to do Facebook stuff, I'll launch the Facebook app. I don't need to spend more time on Facebook and I certainly don't need it to take over my phone. I can't see me ever wanting this on my phone.
a little too intrusive for my liking. so with that being said....no thanks!
My daily driver is a GNex on Verizon (so not really a Nexus?) Anyway, that's besides the point. The point I'm making is that FBH doesn't work, yet, on my phone. I don't want it to, either.
I saw some early reviews of it, and it really dumbs the device down. Folders are gone, Widgets are gone, "Recently Used Apps" is gone. There's no way to refresh the generated screens on FB home. It seems to turn the phone into a 4th grade toy. The kicker: the "Phone" and "Camera" apps are now buried into the rest of your apps.
Virtually all of these discoveries were made by Droid-Life.
No thanks.
YES! i want my iPhone to have Facebook Home! :)
Regardless of who is doing it the important thing is what it brings to the user. There are some things that are nice like the chat heads while most everything else is a security nightmare. I have a PIN code to keep people out of my device when it's sitting on my desk or if it gets lost or stolen. Now from the lock screen friend's pictures, info and messages would be available. So certain parts are great like the fact Facebook chat is platform agnostic and with chat heads it has a chance at rivalling SMS/MMS for dominance. The way the chat heads work, popping up without taking the user out of their app is what users have been wanting for notifications forever, think BiteSMS. So even if iOS never gets Facebook Home like the Notification Center if it gives Apple ideas for new interface features or changes that's good.
I think Facebook Home for the iPhone is very promising. Check out this site: http://facebookhomeiphone.com
I HATE Facebook! Why would I even want to see Facebook Home on iOS?!
Apple control freak...........They should be more flexible.......................

Look at those huge buttons, do you think she was wearing a uniform? Also, I've always loved the name Flora, I wonder why.ReplyDelete
I wondered the same thing when I saw the buttons! Love the hairdo. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
I didn't even notice those big buttons before reading the comments. I sort of did but I really noticed her eyes.ReplyDelete
You should ask Maureen Taylor what she think of the dress she is wearing and whether it might be a uniform??ReplyDelete
What a great photo!
Love this photo.ReplyDelete
Absolutely terrific photo....what a gal!ReplyDelete
I love seeing this through other eyes. It's so familiar to me that I don't think I've really looked at in years. Thank you all!ReplyDelete
The buttons are huge and I've not idea why. It's hard to imagine she's in a uniform - small town east TN in the 1880s - what would it be? Something to consider.
Comments related to the information shared here are most appreciated. All comments are moderated, and since I am not actively researching right now it many take a day or two for your comment to post. Please know that it will post, and that I much appreciate the feedback.

Doak Field Renovation Photo Gallery
Aug. 18, 2004
In May 2004, NC State completed an approximately $6 million renovation
of Doak Field, the university's on-campus baseball facility. The
renovation of Doak Field was a complete rebuilding of the facility,
which first opened in 1966. Phase one of the project included leveling
the playing surface, which used to have a severe drop in elevation from
home plate to the right-field corner. A new state-of-the-art drainage
and irrigation system was installed, and the field then was topped with
a new playing surface.
Phase two of the project involved replacing the old stadium structure
with a new grandstand with all chairback seats; a baseball operations
building; a new, modern press box that includes three broadcast booths
and seating for up to 40 media members; two concessions stands; and
modern, comfortable and spacious rest rooms. The operations building
includes locker rooms for the team, coaches and umpires; an equipment
room, a players' lounge, coaches' offices, and a reception area. The
players locker room is accessible through the home team's dugout. An
indoor batting case was erected in the right-field corner, adjacent to
the operations building.
Because of its size, the new grandstand forced home plate to be moved
15 feet down the third-base line towards left field. The dimensions of
the park now are 20 feet shorter down the left-field line, 10 feet
shorter in left-center and right-center, and five feet shorter down the
right-field line. The left-field fence is 16 feet in height, compared to
eight feet throughout the rest of the outfield.
Capacity at Doak Field is 2500. The seating bowl is just as close to
the action as the old grandstand, and because the seating bowlk is lower
in height than the old grandstand, the front-row seats are even closer
to the action than ever.

HDBaseT™ Wall Plate Extender Kit
Monoprice is a proud member of the HDBaseT Alliance
Extend your HDMI® audio/video signal to distances up to 328 feet using a single Cat6 cable with this HDBaseT™ Wall Plate Extender from Monoprice!
This Wall Plate Extender uses a new technology, which allows for a full bandwidth 10.2Gbps data throughput over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable. The full 10.2Gbps bandwidth means that it supports all High Speed HDMI functions, including all HDMI 3D video modes, the extended 4K cinema resolution, 32-bit Deep Color, and high-definition compressed lossless audio, such as DTS-HD Master Audio™ and Dolby TrueHD™.
The extender features a built-in, bidirectional infrared (IR) signal extender, which allows you to remotely control devices at the source or destination end of the connection. For example, normal operation would allow control of the source blu-ray player from the remote TV location.
Additionally, the extender is capable of transmitting a full-duplex 100Mbps local area network connection alongside the HDMI and IR signals. Each wall plate has two RJ45 LAN jacks. As long as one of the four jacks is connected to the network, the other three will propagate the network connection. This allows you to wire another room for HDMI video, IR remote control repeating, and full internet access, using only a single Cat6 cable!
Note: While this extender will function using unshielded Cat5e cabling, we recommend the use of shielded Cat6 cabling for greater reliability over longer distances. Also note that any cable run through the walls must be rated for in-wall installations.
This HDBaseT device is fully compatible with these other HDBaseT extender products from Monoprice:
Note: Monoprice strongly recommends using 22AWG, 24AWG, or active HDMI cables with Redmere technology to achieve the best results and to ensure minimum signal loss over longer distances.
