"We've got some open positions, especially on offense, but the biggest thing we've got to find is guys with heart and guts," Jones said. "Do we have guys who will play football for 17 minutes or 36 minutes, or can we find them who will play for 48 minutes? That's our biggest question."
The Greyhounds went 7-4 last season, making it to the state playoffs for the first time since 2004.
Getting back and advancing past the first round – Jones County lost 26-14 at Glynn Academy in the first round last year – will be a challenge.
"There are some tough teams in our region. The whole key for us will be if we can be aggressive," Jones said. "You have to be able to block and tackle. It's like I tell our players, we've got some who look like Tarzan but play like Jane. They've got to play like Tarzan, no matter how they look."
There will be some changes in the varsity coaching staff for the Greyhounds. Longtime assistant Jeff Ward, who was the defensive coordinator and coached defensive backs, has stepped down from coaching to spend more time with his family. And linebackers' coach Justen Rivers is not returning.

With Two More Wins at 205 Pounds, Jon Jones Could Pursue Superfights in 2014
I cant afford to worry about what people think. Im doing something pretty extraordinary, Jones said during a recent conference call. A lot of people arent going to be happy for you. My dad taught me that at a young age. Thats how it works -- Im comfortable with it.
Jones attributes some of the negativity to his recognizable list of victims. Dating back to when he defeated Mauricio Rua at UFC 128 to become the youngest champion in promotion history, Jonny Bones has made his mark by defeating some of the sports most popular stars. Since defeating Shogun, Jones has bested Quinton Jackson, Lyoto Machida, Rashad Evans and Vitor Belfort during a dominant title reign. Of that list, Rua, Jackson and Belfort are particularly revered by fans.
Of course people want to see the new guy lose to the guy theyve been loving for years -- when I beat peoples heroes back-to-back-to-back [it makes them upset]. People love to see a guy get built up to be broken down, Jones said. I think thats why they enjoyed my DWI so much. It happens; Im comfortable with it. When I come home to a beautiful house, my family being happy, it makes it all worth it. People can hate me as much as he want.
As impressive as Jones light heavyweight resume is already, the Jacksons MMA product has his sights set on eclipsing Tito Ortizs record for title defenses in the division, and he wants to do it before 2013 has concluded. Ortiz defended his 205-pound belt five times; Jones currently has four successful defenses. After that, things could get even more interesting.
One thing Ive been contemplating is first tying Tito Ortiz and then establishing that record of most wins in my next fight in November, and then after that fight in November, entertaining superfights and heavyweight fights, he said.
However, the champion offered no further comment when asked by a reporter if Anderson Silva would be his first targeted superfight.
I said what I said, Jones replied.
Before looking too far ahead, Jones must take care of Sonnen at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., on Saturday night. While his rival coach on The Ultimate Fighter 17 repeatedly praised Jones abilities during the call, it did little to change the champions focus.
I cant afford to worry or feel any kind of feelings of him being kind or anything, Jones said. The thought of someone trying to take my name away from me, I take that very personally. Someones trying to take away my dream. The thought of going home without my belt keeps me angry.
An NCAA All-American wrestler at the University of Oregon, Sonnen became a title contender in the middleweight division on the strength of his takedowns and relentless top game, most famously getting the better of Anderson Silva for four and half rounds at UFC 117 before submitting to a triangle armbar in the final stanza. Jones, a junior college national champion at Iowa Central Community College, has made a habit of outwrestling opponents with more celebrated credentials.
Still, the 25 year old has spent some time preparing for the possibility that Sonnen will be able to get him to the canvas.
I worked on my bottom game a lot more than I have any other camp. When I fought other wrestlers in the past, I was able to mesmerize them and not let them use their wrestling, where Chael is a guy who shoots without putting much thought into it. He almost does it automatically, Jones said. Im comfortable with the idea of fighting off my back and I'm prepared to do so.
The storyline is always his wrestling, his wrestling, his wrestling, Jones added. It was that way with [Vladimir] Matyushenko, Ryan Bader and Rashad Evans. I dont think anyone respects my wrestling at all. Maybe I'll take him down more than he'll take me down. You never know. I'm excited to go out there and prove my critics wrong again about me being this inferior wrestler.
Sonnen has done his share of instigating since last year, when Jones refused to fight him on short notice at UFC 151, ultimately leading to the cancellation of the entire event. However, Jones said emotions will not be a factor come fight night.
When I get in the fight, I never fight over aggressively. I always stay calm and relaxed and composed. And thats what it will be, he said. No matter what I say before a fight, what my opponent says, no matter if I appear to let someone in my head...When it comes to fight night it's relaxation, it's beauty, it's peace. Martial arts is what God put me on this planet to do.

Local romance writers host March 23 eventWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
Several years ago, aspiring writer Jenna Rutland finished reading a romance novel and was surprised to discover its authors lived nearby.
The book was written by Tony and Lori Karayianni, a Toledo couple who have published dozens of titles under the pseudonym Tori Carrington.
"I found out they lived in Toledo, Ohio, which just totally shocked me because I always thought a writer has to live in New York," said Rutland, the pseudonym of a Temperance medical transcriptionist. "I went to their website and saw they were going to be doing a book signing in Monroe so I went and met them and they told me about this group."
Many people are surprised there are published romance writers in the Toledo area, said Rutland, who recently published her first book, "Just for the Summer," through Entangled Publishing.
The Maumee Valley Romance Writers of America (MVRWA) is the local chapter of Romance Writers of America (RWA), a group with more than 10,000 members in 145 chapters.
The local chapter, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary, will host its free annual Book Lovers Event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. March 23 at Sanger Branch Library, 3030 W. Central Ave., featuring free books, readings from published authors, panel discussions, raffles and more.
"Just pop in and say hi," said Wendy Burke, the pseudonym of a Springfield Township woman who works at a local television station. "If you think it's just a bunch of people sitting around being stodgy and talking about books, that's not the case at all."
Members said they find kindred spirits and a support system through the group.
"You can talk writing and they understand you," Rutland said. "As supportive as my family is, you only have a short amount of time and you lose them."
"I like breaking boundaries. I like the freedom of imagination," added Shay Lacy, the pseudonym of a Toledo secretary who has six books published. "This group supports me through my successes and my difficult times."
Unpublished members can glean tips from more experienced writers.
"Everybody's so willing to share," said Constance Phillips of Perrysburg, who works in the office of her husband's hardwood flooring company and is one of the few group members who writes under her real name.
Phillips' first book, "Fairyproof," was published in September by Crescent Moon Press. Her second book, "Resurrecting Harry," came out in March.
"It's amazing [to be published]," Phillips said. "You can't really describe it. You spend years and years fighting the current and battling rejections and then to get that is pretty amazing."
Romance novels generated more than $1.36 billion in sales in 2011 and accounted for 14.3 percent of the U.S. consumer fiction market, according to research cited by RWA. That's compared to religion/inspirational fiction ($715 million), mystery ($709 million), science fiction/fantasy ($579 million) and classic literary fiction ($467 million).
The genre is broad — ranging from faith-based inspirational to erotica — but the hallmarks are a central love story and an emotionally satisfying ending, according to RWA.
"About the only universal law to a romance is that there's a happily ever after," Phillips said. "Other than that, you could put five different romance books together and they'd be as different as night and day."
The percentage of romance titles sold as e-books has proportionally doubled in one year, from 22 percent in 2011 to 44 percent in 2012, according to RWA.
"There's been a huge growth there in the past five years," Phillips said. "I think the big change is Amazon and Barnes & Noble developed readers the public could easily use. The physical devices opened up the market for e-publishing to grow."
Half a dozen MVRWA group members were newly published last year.
"It was a pretty amazing time last year," Phillips said. "It was one after the other."
The streak hit shortly after a meeting where members were feeling pretty discouraged, Burke said.
"We all kind of sat there and cried," Burke said. "It was a difficult time. We encouraged everybody and then it was bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, in the matter of a few months."
Retired teacher Susana Ellis of Toledo found MVRWA while searching online for writing groups. The emotional day Burked described was Ellis' first meeting. Rather than scare her away, the tears made her feel less alone after getting some negative feedback about her writing.
"I was totally devastated," said Ellis, a pseudonym for the former eighth-grade foreign language teacher. "So when I saw the group members were all upset, I thought, 'Oh, I'm not the only one.' I just felt like these were people who liked to do what I liked to do and we had a lot in common. I've learned so much in the past year."
Ellis grew up on a farm, where she told stories to her sisters and was often chastised for shirking her chores to read.
"I really think you write what you read," said Ellis, who writes historical romance, mainly set in the early 1800s Regency Era. "I've just read historical romance, especially Regencies, for decades, so that's what comes naturally to me."
Ellis recently published her first short story, "Treasuring Theresa," through Ellora's Cave, a publisher mainly known for erotic romance, but which also has a line of Regency romances called Blush Cotillion.
Ellis didn't plan on telling her conservative family about her writing, but accidently revealed her secret when she replied to an email with the signature of her pseudonym.
"I have one sister who is definitely not supportive, but actually it's turned out to be a pretty positive thing," Ellis said. "Everybody else has been really supportive."
MVRWA is also inspiring the next generation of romance writers. Phillips' daughter Katelynn Phillips joined two years ago and was inspired by her mom to become a writer herself. The 20-year-old Bowling Green State University sophomore recently changed her major from visual communications technology to English.
"I'm not entirely sure where that's going yet, but I do want to be a writer sometime in my life," Katelynn said. "I don't think I would have had the idea to even switch majors if I didn't have people like the people in this group, my parents or my friends who told me I could do it.
"When [my mom] was published it was great because it's wonderful to see somebody who's put in so much time and effort and supported you achieve their dreams," Katelynn said. "It shows that hard work pays off."

If Georgetown Police Chief Paul Gardner gets what he wants, by 2019 there will be very few places a person will be able to go outside in the city where they will not be watched by surveillance cameras.
The process of securing the city with cameras actually began a few years ago with the installation of the devices on the business portion of Front Street, at East Bay Park and other areas, including at the corner of Front Street and Highway 17 and Front Street and Meriman Road.
Earlier this month, 70 cameras were installed at the Georgetown Housing Authority property off of Anthuam Maybank Drive and in Maryville.
We want to continue to build the citys camera network, Gardner told Georgetown City Council at its Capital Improvements retreat last weekend.
He said he has budgeted for eight cameras to be purchased each year for the next five years.
The Housing Authority cameras were paid for with a federal Capital Improvement Funds grant, Gardner said.
Gardner said the next area he would like to see cameras installed is along the Harborwalk boardwalk and at Ben Cooper Park in Georgetowns West End where a splash pad water attraction is being constructed.
He said Ben Cooper Park could be adequately covered with four cameras.
With all the cameras that are already in place, Gardner has come up with a plan to keep an eye on what the cameras are seeing. He wants to create a command center within the police department and have citizen volunteers man the center to watch the camera feeds on a wall of monitors.
He said the volunteers would be used mainly on weekends and other high priority times.
We learned from the Maryville incidents we have citizens who would step up and help, Gardner said, referring to a string of burglaries that occurred last year.
This system, Gardner said, is working effectively in Columbia.
The volunteers would have to go through a light background check and would be required to sign a confidentiality agreement indicating anything they see on the cameras would remain within the police department.
Along with the surveillance cameras, Gardner would also like to purchase a portable license plate reader, although he admitted this is on his Santa list. He does not have the $28,000 purchase in his budget until 2018.
The camera would be on a trailer and would read license plates and immediately check to see if they are on a stolen vehicle or registered to a wanted person.
The camera could be placed in neighborhoods where crimes are taking place so police would have a record of anyone who had been in that area.
I hope to pay for the cameras just about any way I can. The first ones we installed were paid out of the general fund, he said.
Accommodations and Hospitality taxes can be used for cameras in areas associated with tourism.
I am a technology guy. This will make the department smarter and will reduce costs, Gardner said.

I wanted actionable notifications more than anything. I should be able to reply a text email ot tweet within notification center.
WWDC 2013 and iOS 7: What we didn't get
WWDC 2013 brought with it this year a dizzying number of changes from new MacBook Airs to OS X Mavericks and more. Undoubtedly, the largest announcement was iOS 7 which brings with it an all new flattened interface, lots of new features, and improvements upon older ones.
We talked about all our iOS 7 wants over the past several months. You guys gave your feedback too. Now that we know what iOS 7 brings to the table, let's take a look at what we wanted, but didn't get this time around.
As always, iOS 7 is in its infancy stages so it's important to remember that lots of stuff can and probably will change before the final release. For now, we'll just gauge off what we know so far.
Actionable notifications
One of the biggest items on our bucket list for years now has been better control over notifications. As of iOS 6, the only way to interact with a notification is to either dismiss it or open it. Unfortunately, it looks like not too much of this has changed in iOS 7 either.
The biggest request when it comes to actionable notifications in iOS has got to be quick reply for messaging. Instead of having to dismiss a text message or launch into the actual messaging app, a way to reply without disrupting what you are doing would be an ideal solution. It's also one that apps like BiteSMS has been able to solve for years. The Mac got it in Mavericks this time around, why not iOS?
Actionable notifications would also come in handy for things like calendar appointments, alarms, and more. As far as we can see, iOS 7 still uses a lot of the same notification schemes that its older sibling, iOS 6 uses, and that's a shame.
Control Center may give us quicker access to common toggles the way SBSettings has for years, but it still doesn't allow us to interact with incoming notifications any better as they happen.
Better email attachment handling
Managing email attachments in iOS has always been painful. Actually, if you want to be bluntly honest, there is no way to feasibly manage attachments in iOS and it doesn't look like iOS 7 will be changing that.
The same options for inserting a photo or video still appear but when it comes to saving attachments or managing them any better, you'll still need an external third party app in order to do any kind of saving and organizing.
I did however notice in the first build that when you go to edit email attachments in iOS 7, there is a section that appears for attachments. I can't yet figure out how to use it, or the functionality just isn't there quite yet.
Either way, there's no new options at this point and it's unclear how Apple plans to allow us to use the cryptic Attachments section in Mail.
Files.app or some kind of document management system
There has never been a way in iOS to natively handle documents. Sure iWork and other third party apps can readily handle documents and are more than up for the task but why can't I have a centralized location in order to store all my documents?
We have a Photos app in order to better manage and organize photos, it's about time we got the same for documents and other kinds of files.
There are numerous times that I simply forget what program I was working on a document in, or where I saved it. I then have to sift through iBooks, Pages, Dropbox, and Evernote to figure out where I decided to save that PDF someone sent me.
Instead, I want to go to one centralized location where all my files are housed, launch a share sheet, and choose what app I want to open that document in or how I want to share it.
Safari download manager
When you download a file through mobile Safari, whether that's an image or a PDF, you're forced to choose what app you want to open it with. That means for photos you'll need to save it to your camera roll and for PDFs, you'll be forced to leave Safari and open it in iBooks or another comparable program.
A downloads manager would allow downloading files not to interfere with what you're doing. Photos don't necessarily interfere but to make sure it downloaded, I do have to leave the browser in order to enter Photos.app and make sure the image actually saved.
There has been several occasions where I've just trusted the save to camera roll feature only to find later on that the image never actually downloaded. A downloads manager within Safari would solve this problem and allow you a way to quickly access all your downloads in one place at the same time. That means those photos you downloaded or the PDFs that you don't remember what app you've opened them in would all be accessible and findable in one location.
Mutable sounds while in a call
The most irritating thing in existence is when you're on a phone call and text messages, emails, and other notifications continue to sound off in your ear. Not only does it not make sense for your ear to vibrate, it's very distracting when you're on important calls.
Can I at least have the option to finally disable this annoying behavior in Settings? As far as I'm aware, there is no setting I can find in iOS 7 and while on calls, I'm still facing the same annoying vibrations and notifications while on a call.
What did you want?
While we got a lot of things in iOS 7 that we did want, we know a lot of customer wants were still left out.
These are the things we really wanted to see make an appearance that didn't make the cut. Is there anything you really wanted to see that you also didn't see any sign of during the iOS 7 announcement? Sound off in the comments below!
If you missed any of today's event, make sure you check out all our WWDC 2013 coverage for more news about iOS 7, OS X Mavericks, and more!

WWDC 2013 and iOS 7: What we didn't get
Dude there is control center which is almost same to actionable control center
Control center is a shortcut for the most used settings. It has nothing to do with messages and other notifications.
No, it's not. Control Setter doesn't allow you to quick reply to an incoming message, the two are completely different.
Yup, quick reply to texts is something I've wanted for years as well, and I had for a while on my jailbroken iPhone 4. This would be a game changer because I don't think even Android phones have this feature. But alas, Apple, would rather cover up mistakes visually than actually fix them.
Well, the Mac got actionable notifications, so I am sure Apple is aware of the want. And who knows, maybe that will probably get added eventually.
Exactly...iOS 7 isn't finished yet, is it :)
No it's not. People don't realize that this was only a preview of the ios overhaul
I tapped on a text that was coming in as a banner and I swear it looked like a little box popped up and went away. Really weird. Then the fast app switcher kicked in and switched to iMessages.
The lack of actionable notifications (especially in regards to messages) really disappoints me. I really think that is a low hanging fruit they're missing. The file management and attachment items are also kind of disappointing, but I can live with that without too much effort. I really would like to see some better inter-app communication. I think some of those who use x-callback URL schemes to create workflows are amazing, and I would like to see this oft overlooked concept get some more attention from Apple. The smartphone is a small computer, and giving power users more flexibility in their creative processes can only help the platform.
Sorry, but no. These are the major features coming to iOS. Any additional customer facing features added past this point will be big fixes and whatever features are exclusive to the iPhone 5s (or whatever they name it).

I love the multiple pages in the folders but i would have really appreciated something like what infinidock does.
I would love to see the ability to organize mail by conversations.
- User specification of default apps
- Intents; if not full inter-app communication than at very least the ability to specify items on the share sheet.
- Actionable notifications
Updating icons, like weather.
i'm a bit disappointed because of that old keyboard, it's really the thing i want apple to improve
and even though i like android better, i still love johny ive's design, the old ios ui looks too ugly, this new one looks beautiful
I really wanted to see "Actionable Notifications", actually I would be happy with the ability to snooze appointments and reminders. I just don't understand why they won't this damn feature. This should have been included in the first iPhone, it's been 6 years and we still can't snooze an appointment. I also would like the ability pick my default browser and mapping application. Those features can be handled by various jailbreaks but it would be nice if it was built in.

Mutable sounds while in a call
Just move the ringer switch to silent.

A file system so I don't have to do tech backflips to do basic stuff. I still have little clue what Apple is thinking on this. I guess the tags in OSX is the future if files??? Seems like a bigger mess than just learning the simple folder system to me. (So well store our tags in folders maybe???)
Then, just core functionality of core apps.... which maybe we'll get? (probably didn't make the slides) Things like duplicating events in calendar... not having a formatting nightmare in mail... a few more of the basic features of email... ability to manage the cloud (likes individual apps, or revisions of files / backups... especially now with auto updates! Imagine that data destroying app update we all experience now and then.)... etc.
I'm relying heavily on IMAP folders with server based sorting for organizing my mail. I'm still missing a "refresh all folders" button of some kind. Having to tap each folder individually in order to check for new mails is a bit annoying. I still have hope I'll see that in iOS 7, tough :)
As soon as I saw Mavericks got actionable notifications (quick reply) I thought finally iOS is getting QR!!! And we didn't ugh! I don't get it!!! However I love iOS 7. I know lots hate the new icons and some of the UI but I think it's fantastic and love it thus far!
Instead we've got funny limits and restrictions that don't make sense. Like Siri last year we have more 'absurd gems' - Filters in photo app not for every device ? AirDrop on iPad Mini but not on the 2nd and 3rd gen ? Instead of phasing out the iPhone 4 from 2010 it even gets more than the iPad 2 (note: same hardware as found in the Mini model and iPhone 4S).
What is the iPhone 4 getting that ipad 2 isn't? As for AirDrop, I believe it requires the latest wifi hardware.
I initially dropped by to congratulate you guys on finally porting Android 4.0 to the iPhone; but, after reading the article and all the comments, I realized that you guys are still missing most of the simple key features that make Android great... sorry about that!
Maybe you'll get them next year in iOS8?
Best of luck!
Glad they didn't copy Androids trademarked lag. But seriously if Android is so great why are you guys always on iOS blogs?
Your wife seems to have a lot of control over you, I mean, you don't even have an ios device, yet here you are!
Features like a worse app selection, inconsistent UI, horrible tablet applications, and stuttering when scrolling through the home-screen? I am sure those will be in iOS 8. I guess they did not take enough people off OS X Ice Man (or whatever it was called) to add them this time around.
Seriously, though. Many more features and aesthetics come from Windows phone and Palm than Android. I would love to see some of the options that Android has, but the smooth UI and huge selection of exclusive apps (especially games) keeps me on iOS.
Sent from the iMore App
I agree that the iPad is still a superior tablet. It's fairly boring, but Apple has done a better job promoting tablet-specific development.
For phones, though? Apple is at least a year behind, if not longer. Lag in Android is a thing of the past, the UI has been made much more consistent, and there are very few exclusive titles these days -- except for Apple's own, of course.
Haha! Android is so far ahead of Iphone. Airdrop is another name for WiFi Direct which Android has had for over six months and I love my Actionable Notification bar which I've had for a year and a half now. My phone does not lag it never did. Oh did I mention my phone is also water resistant and battery lasts three days on a single charge.
Sorry to burst your Fandroid bubble but AirDrop has been available on Mac for quite some time now.
On a Mac but not on a phone. Hahaha
Can I ask what you do with the widgets? I have had an android tablet (touchpad) and can't find a reason to use them. Weather is the only thing I can think of that makes sense. The flipping through posts that a widget provides does not seem to be helpful for feeds, Facebook, or twitter; seeing one post out of 100 is too inefficient.
Sent from the iMore App
www.mycolorscreen.com - that gives a glimpse at what widgets are capable of. It's all about customization and making your device personal.
I love widgets. It was one of the reasons I chose the Samsung Galaxy S3 over the iPhone 5 last year. I have widgets that give me an agenda view of my upcoming events for the week, without launching the calendar app. I have a widget that gives me the 5-day forecast along with the highs and lows, current temp with high and low for today, sunrise and sunset, wind and humidity and the feels like temp. All without having to launch the weather app. I have a widget that lets me choose to text or call one of my 9 favorite contacts, without launching the contacts app, the text app or the dialer first. I have an app that has my reminders, quick notes and todo list, all at a glance without launching the Google Keep app.
Those are some that I use. Others use a variety of different widgets too. There are many widgets available for use on Android. Once Apple allows us to have widgets, you will curse them for not allowing sooner.
Apple is slowly introducing Android features. If they would give me the things I love about Android, I would quickly switch to iPhone.
Everything the author of this article stated is what I was waiting to hear but it just never came. There's far too much focus on design and not nearly enough brain power going into functionality. Maybe Apple just doesn't care to add functionality, in the drive to keep it simple, but it would at least be nice to have these missing pieces added in at some point.
"Biggest change to iOS since original iPhone". No wonder, as the changes to iOS came in homeopathic doses. Everything else would have something other companies release with updates of their individual applications rather than the whole OS.
So let's see, what did we get so far as "killer features"?
- iOS 2: 3rd Party Apps + SDK
- iOS 3: Copy-Paste. Woohoo!
- iOS 4: Multitasking
- iOS 5: Notification Center
- iOS 6: Siri
Now I feel that the first 4 updates could have been in one iOS update rather than four and the second two in another.
What did we get with iOS 7? Lockscreen notifications. No, I don't consider the new design a feature.
What didn't we get (again)? Well, apart from all the little things I might be able to fill books with, there is the centralized file storage Allyson already mentioned. But what I'm missing apart from that is a framework both for Notification Center Widgets and deeper Siri integration into Apps. Well, we didn't get that.
I'm experimenting a little with Android 4.2.2 right now and, although I can't say I particularly like it, given the "feature update frequency" of iOS in combination with hardware pricing, I'm not sure I'm buying an iPhone ever again.
Wow! Kudos to your insight into human nature. Clearly you are an expert in that.
Just a few facts:
- Impossible is nothing
- I didn't ever say anything about "first version"
- The OS wasn't exactly build "from scratch", they are using a modified version of the OS X XNU Kernel
But yeah, clearly, no one can develop and add features in a yearly cycle, so fortunately no one else has something comparable like, let's say Android or so... Wait, what?
Do you always make it a habit of critiquing something you have yet to try? By your logic, I assume you buy a car without a test drive? Or you write a review on that beautiful new Porsche you have seen in a magazine but have yet to sit behind the wheel.
And, if history repeats itself, additional features may be added to later Beta versions before launch to the public.
Cool your jets.......I'm sure you are losing sleep on the updated 2019 For Mustang and its "lack of features."
I have a habit of not letting me blind by "oooh new Apple stuff! Shiny!".
What I'm criticizing tough is that Apple made a fantastic product and then almost neglected it and so falling behind the competition. I'm criticizing that new features come once in a year only. I'm criticizing that most of the time there weren't the big "breakthrough" new features that we would have needed to see from Apple.
All I'm saying now is that what Apple presented on their WWDC keynote isn't enough to draw level with the competition, much less leap ahead. Also, I think if they really did have "the" killer feature we would have heard about it.
Let's just hope that I'm wrong.
You are seriously bringing up what we didn't get? This was just announced today. I think the new OS looks phenomenal and am very happy with the added features. As usual, there are those that no matter what Apple does, will find something to complain about. :/
..... and those that will bow to the mighty Apple out of habit and brand blindness. FCS some of you were cheering the opening of a new store??? That was how much there was on offer, when the CEO wants to show a video of the crowd outside Apple Berlin? LOL
I'm just not blinded by a shiny new interface and still can see what really needs to be done to keep it up with competition.
I'm not really enthusiastic about the new looks, but that might be a question of taste. I'm also very happy about the new features. However, Apple has to rethink its policy about closedness if they don't want to fall behind.
If we had seen an API for Widgets or Siri integration? That would have been something I'd really be enthusiastic about. But we just didn't. Too bad.
Looks very nice, but most of it just copies stuff from Android and Google which the Android crowd have had for ages. Disappointed ! Lot of gloss but little innovation!
More copying from Palm and WP7/8 than Android this time around. With the exception of HTC Sense.

Was its own OS!.. Windows Mobiles used to consist of rows of static icons with a highly customizable UI, With SENSE overlay etc.. like Google's Android setup that come to be after WM until this present day... "Windows Phone" is its own OS today... It is the only OS that has a NEW UI and that has stepped away from that flood of icons setup that you still see on Droid and iOS .. I am of course talking about the UI and not the Kernel here..
Okay you're talking about UI not OS. Yes I agree all OS main home screen look is grids of Icons. That goes back to Xerox, early Windows and Macs.
As for inspiration, the original Android OS got it's inspiration from BB not Windows. BB got it from Plam. I suppose you can trace this back to Windows but not Windows Mobile.
i agree with this 100%! i used Windows Mobile for years and Android looks just like it. Funny though...people hated Windows mobile design but love android yet they are the same!
Um... I too made the move to Android because of buggy, and laggy old Windows Mobile but soon found the new fandangled Android was only marginally better and ended up with the conclusion that iOS was better than both! Which made me sad, but we are getting off topic here.. The point I was making was Windows Phone is really the only OS + UI that has really changed over the past 10 years, stepping away from those icon grids and totally re working EVERYTHING... The other two have really only added functions and put some lipstick on.. So... I didn't expect anything NEW from Apple here with iOS7.
If by innovation you refer to features that you will never use then you are correct. Every feature added is something I will make good use of and it is done with simplicity. Anyone can come up with a cool idea but what good is it if you will never use it, then to top it off such innovative ideas on other platforms, freeze or crash and burn.
Loving the changes they've made, can't wait to get my hands on it. I would have liked a way to clear the cache on the phone and the apps. Getting really tired of deleting and re-installing apps just to cut the size down.
Document management and download manager.
And for God's sake, why on Earth they make picture sharing so restricted and complicated.
Just let me send the pictures through the d@mn bluetooth!
I really believe that if they have the actionable notifications in Mavericks then they will have it in the iOS. It just may not have gotten the spotlight that everything else did it or it may be something that they are still working on and will show up before the GM release. They still have 3 months.

I totally agree. I said this yesterday... I think they're holding this high-profile improvement for the next iPhone announcement, in order to create more buzz.
Edit phone numbers in phone.app. Frustrating to have paste it to notes.app then edit then copy paste again.
Why? Why can't someone love their iPhone/iPad and request features that other platforms have without having to switch? Especially, when the requested features aren't major updates. At this point, they are features that Apple chooses to allow you to have.
BTW, before you go on your rant. I own an iPod Gen 4, iPad Gen 3 and MacBook. Thought you should know before you tell me to go fuck my Android.
lol, its ok your safe... Im neutral... I go with whatever and whoever can give me the most for my money which atm I've found to be Windows Phone 8... But N E ways... Apple won't change much while they can still make $ off you... Its the same game old Windows mobile played until iPhone got so popular... Which has thrown Microsoft and Google into the fire , they have been forced to bring out better products with more features than Apple to win back their customers. Ending the iPhone rule over the smartphone wars For now... Until it all happens again in 10 years... Sadly we are just the suckers that have to keep spending $ changing from company to company to have the features we want!
Android has it or more like the Motorola phones have it called Smart Actions. I love Smart Actions look it up on YouTube.
Overall I'm happy with what was brought to iOS. I believe the new iPhone will have a little more.

We are still using the same method of moving the text cursor since iOS 1.0. You have to hold on the text until the magnifying glass appears and then move it. It's cumbersome and extremely slow. If anyone has used SwipeSelect on a Jailbroken device you will know how incredibly fast and easy it is to move the cursor and highlight text. This is desperately needed in iOS.
And texting within apps or quickly from the lockscreen...i.e. BiteSMS
A lot of this seems picky and unduly critical the way it's worded. I'm willing to believe Alison just has communication problems and that it only "comes across that way," but still ...
She is critical of no actionable notifications, but she could have at least mentioned that this was added to OS X and by implication is probably coming sooner rather than later to iOS.
She says that there still isn't a "Files.app" but WTF is "Air Drop" if not precisely that?
Finally, some of the things she want's (Safari Download manager, muting sounds in calls, etc.), are just ridiculous things that only the tiniest fraction of users could really use or care about.
This article just comes off as hyper-critical and rude to me.
As far as I understood AirDrop on iOS, this was for sharing photos or movies or whatever Apple thinks its users would want to share. Basically, it seems to be the same like sending a file directly trough WiFi or Blutooth instead of using an email.
Still, there are no means of having the same file accessible to several applications at the same time except for pictures and movies trough camera roll.
According to the keynote, Airdrop works in the same fashion as two Roid users banging their phones together, without the banging. A simple screen tap does it, and can be done with multiple recipients simultaneously.
LOL your post made me chuckle.
"...and by implication probably..." so you're saying it's safe to assume it will come to iOS 7 at some unspecified time in the future? Not everyone is as patient or as devoted to Apple as you apparently are. Actionable notifications are something that a lot of iPhone users have been wanting and it's completely fair for Alison to point this out. Air Drop is not a file manager but a way to share files with other iiPhone users...I don't think you understand the concept of a files manager. And as for the "ridiculous things that only the tiniest fraction of users could really use or care about," I personally would also like the option to mute sounds on calls. Just because you don't find it necessary doesn't mean it applies to everyone else.
Get off your high horse.
I was on the fence and considering a move to another OS, but figured I would wait for the updates in iOS 7. I am extremely glad I waited! All of the fixes I wanted nothing I did not. NFC is still a possibility through hardware but lets face it, until Apple adopts NFC it will not be a mainstream feature, Google has failed in it's launch and right now NFC is a feature that someone touts about their phone but is not widely used. In the fall I will sell my iPhone 4S for 250.00 - 300.00, renew my contract for 200.00 and put the rest down on an Ipad 5.
Actionable notifications would be the icing on the cake, I am sure it is on it's way just not in iOS 7.
I wanted my iPhone to fly
how can the first smart phone company be called a copy cat. Apple has almost created this whole space of phones. almost every platform takes what the other does well and tries to improve on it. Apple was the first to show the world what was lacking. the bottom line there is room for all to play. i dont think Mr Ford is telling toyota you are copying my model "t". and when everyone says this is better or that platform is better, we all have choices so make them quietly
This isn't directly iOS, but I would like to see "Messages" added to the iCloud site (https://www.icloud.com/).
I want to have the option of managing my text messages on a computer. With google voice, I can converse via text from my desktop, then continue the conversation on my iPhone when I walk away. But with iOS messaging, I'm tied to my phone.
Well, Mac users get the Messages app already as a feature of having multiple Apple devices. I can see a possible desktop app, but it's unlikely to go iCloud. However, non-OS development is not generally connected to iPhone improvements apart from new versions of iTunes.
The Pros definitely outweigh the Cons.
BlackBerry 10 literally has all those iOS 7 'wants'.
You're right. BUT ... Unfortunately BB10 is in its infancy and has quite a few "issues" to sort out before it becomes a viable contender of the "Ultimate device" it once was a few years ago. The lack of native apps on the new OS are slow in coming and I'm unable to get the apps I need (without having to port from Android) for the every day use I demand from my phone. I am underwhelmed with my current android and still use my 4s for various tasks. I could live without the Crayola icons, but there has got to be an app to solve that little problem. All in all, iOS 7 looks promising if they fix the active notification/message oversight.
So does my Nexus 4.
Of course actionable notifications seems to be the big one that everyone wanted, and I did too. One point I'd like to make is we haven't seen all of iOS 7 yet. What I mean is that Apple always holds certain software features back for the new "S-class" device. Such as voice control on the 3GS or Siri on the 4S. Those were the big one's there, but correct me if there weren't others as well. I can't remember what they were off the top of my head...but I do remember other "smaller" software features being omitted from lower class devices. Apple's PR on it is always that the hardware on the older devices can't handle it and maintain proper battery life. The reality though is they need to give people (present company included) that extra little bit of incentive to upgrade their hardware. I'm still holding on that we'll either see it in a later beta...Or it will be a "tent-pole" of the presumably named 5S coming along with the official roll out of iOS 7 this fall.
On another note. I have been harping for months now that iOS 7 should have a much better system for organizing photos. I had even gone as far on several occasions to voice my opinion of how it should happen, and of course Apple's solution makes my opinion sound...well...ignorant. It was my personal #1 requirement for iOS 7...and I must say I am one very, very happy Apple customer. Thanks Tim and team!!
I'd add that I am more disappointed that devs can't develop for system controls like the keyboard than I am with missing quick reply. That had floated around for awhile, as unlikely as it sounded I was really hoping for either
A.) keyboard API's
B.) a improved keyboard input method of some kind
C.) apple's take on predictive typing
Agreed 100%.
I like realistic icons from iOS 6 , That gives awesome clean and shiny look for iOS 6. Missing those UI in iOS 7, They should improve lot of things in iOS7 until it release . Not expecting new features but dont spoil existing OS. Action sheets are not good, Dock is not good in home screen, Totally , It is just looking like a cartoon UI ....
i dont mind the new look... simple is good. I know this sounds petty... but i really want 'live' icons. They show the date on the calendar... why not the temp/conditions on the weather icon? Why not change the mail icon to show new mail (as well as the count). Also, a type of live wallpaper wouldve been cool for lockscreen/homescreen. I like to personalize my device... and iOS is still completely lacking in the department. No widgets, you cant put the icons where you want them, no control over anything visual. Heck, even my nook hd has live weather wallpaper. I will wait till iOS7 releases before final judgement..
I really hate the fact that when a group message comes in that I can't select whether to reply to the group or just to the original sender. Am I missing something or am I correct to say that it's just not an option? It's been an option with email forever, why not with sms?
In Mail.app, Organize By Thread is enabled yet your Sent messages are still not shown in the email thread......Still!! Third party apps like Mailbox and Gmail show your Sent messages within the thread as it should be, why can't Mail.app?? Not a huge deal with small threads but with larger threads, seeing your sent items becomes much more important.
I really wish they would have added a quick reply of course, but I also wish they had taken the idea from the jailbreak tweak that allowed you to correct text by sliding across the keyboard. It's so much more easier to complete that action rather than holding a spot and waiting for the magnifying glass to appear. Cmon Apple! Get'r done...
Love control center, I have been wanting that since my first iPhone the 3gs. That being said I really want the last thing on here the mutable sounds while on a call. You would think this would be SOP for any phone. Apple is so much about the user experience that leaving this out again makes me think the have some type of communication problem in the company
Design in general still need refinements, we probably will see in beta 6 or 7 i guess. While I love the new simplicity i'd like to see a bit of apple feeling as well. The blue thin outlined icons in safari or mail aren't that good recognizable, are they? In calendar app i miss those days highlighted where i have an appointment or something. Currently all days except today are just white. I definitely need to see where my appointments are.
Why hasn't anybody else even thought of putting home screen widgets on the table?! With Spotlight now available across all iOS 7 home screens, there's now doubt that the void left behind by the re-gesturing of Spotlight should have been filled by a mobile version of Dashboard...
Hi one of the reasons for me to stick with my jailbreak iphone is the app phone buzzer. It is such a convenience not having to look at my iphone or put it in my ear to know that my call has been picked up. When my contact answered my call, the phone just vibrate in my hand and i just put it to my ear and say hello and continue with my conversation.
It would be great is this feature is in ios7 - tq
I really want to have signature for wen I'm texting instead of using some app that doesn't even work or jail break my phone
I can't believe there is still no way to copy and paste events in the calendar. I have several things that are recurring but not on the same day or time. What a pain to enter them all in individually! Also the new fonts in iOS7 are thinner and everything seems harder to read. So far I am NOT impressed by the design overhaul and I don't really feel like iOS7 is much of an improvement - nothing but hype.

Josh Barnett vs. Travis Browne Set for December's UFC 168 Event
I thought Travis was supposed to fight Stipe. I think he gets chewed up by Josh.
A key heavyweight matchup has been added to the UFC's traditional year-end event as Josh Barnett meets Travis Browne.
The booking was first reported by the Las Vgeas Review-Journal and subsequently confirmed by UFC officials.
Featuring two heavily anticipated title fights with middleweight champ Chris Weidman vs. Anderson Silva and women's bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey vs. Miesha Tate, UFC 168 takes place Dec. 18 at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Barnett (33-6 MMA, 5-1 UFC) currently sits at No. 5 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie.com MMA heavyweight rankings, while Browne (15-1-1 MMA, 6-1-1 UFC) is just behind at No. 7.
Barnett is a former UFC heavyweight champion who earned the belt in 2002 with a win over Randy Couture. A subsequent failed drug test saw Barnett lose the belt, and he went on to fight in Japan for the next several years.
Barnett returned to the UFC in August, earning a first-round submission win over Frank Mir. Barnett is now 10-1 in his past 11 overall appearances.
Meanwhile, Browne also fought in August, earning the biggest win of his career to date with a first-round stoppage of former Strikeforce heavyweight champ Alistair Overeem. The lone blemish on Browne's career mark came in a disappointing first-round loss to Antonio Silva in October 2012, but he's since bounced back with wins over Overeem and Gabriel Gonzaga.

ATHENS, Ga. — After returning to Georgia for the chance to win a championship, All-American linebacker Jarvis Jones is headed to the pros.
Jones informed the school Friday that he won't be returning for his senior season, a decision that was expected almost as soon as he announced a year ago that he was returning to the Bulldogs. He is projected to be one of the top picks in the NFL Draft after leading the nation with 14.5 sacks, 24.5 tackles for losses and seven forced fumbles, even while missing two games with injuries.
"This has been a difficult decision, and one that I have talked over with my family and coaches," Jones said in a statement released by the school. "I think this decision comes at the right time for me and my family and I look forward to seeing what the next level holds for me. Go Dogs!"
Jones wasted no time making a decision, announcing his plans just three days after a 45-31 victor over Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl.
The 6-foot-3, 241-pound Georgia native started his career at Southern Cal, but sustained a neck injury during his freshman year. He transferred back home, sat out a season, then joined the Bulldogs in 2011.
He started all 26 games he played over the last two seasons and finished with 28 sacks, the third most in school history. He also had 44 tackles behind the line, 155 total tackles, nine forced fumbles and an interception.
"I will always appreciate the chance Georgia gave me after my injury at Southern Cal," Jones said. "There is nothing like the Bulldog fans and I will forever be proud to wear the `G."'
After leading the SEC in sacks (13.5) and tackles for losses (19.5) as a third-year sophomore, Jones could have entered the draft. But he and several other top defensive players, including safety Baccari Rambo, opted to stay for another season, hoping to lead the Bulldogs to a championship. They came agonizingly close, losing to No. 2 Alabama in a classic Southeastern Conference title game that came down to the final play.
If the Bulldogs had pulled out the victory, they would have earned their first SEC crown since 2005 and faced top-ranked Notre Dame for the BCS championship in Miami.
Jones bounced back from the bitter defeat, closing his college career in style with two sacks and eight tackles in the win over Nebraska. That performance gave him the school record for both sacks and tackles behind the line in a season.
He was a finalist for the Bednarik, Lombardi, Nagurski, Butkus and Lott awards.
Georgia will have some major holes to fill on defense next season. Junior linebacker Alec Ogletree announced immediately after the Capital One Bowl that he was going pro, and the Bulldogs also will lose three key seniors: Rambo, safety Shawn Williams and nose tackle John Jenkins.

12 Stones to play at HeadlinersWritten by Mike Bauman | | email@example.com
For Louisiana rockers 12 Stones, success in the music industry came quickly, though sustaining that success has been an ongoing challenge since the band's inception in 2000.
"It's a long, hard road for the majority of people who get into this business," 12 Stones drummer Aaron Gainer said. "Some are overnight successes. Not many. Not most. So I guess it's our passion and our love for the fans and the live side, regardless of how difficult the business side can be [that's kept us going]."
Featuring Gainer (drums), Paul McCoy (vocals), Eric Weaver (guitar) and Will Reed (bass), 12 Stones will perform at Headliners on July 12.
Not long after forming in Mandeville, La., 12 Stones signed with Wind-up Records and recorded its self-titled debut with Jay Baumgardner (Sevendust, Papa Roach, Evanescence), which released in 2002. That self-titled album and 2004 sophomore effort "Potter's Field" went on to sell 500,000 copies.
In addition, McCoy teamed up with Evanescence's Amy Lee for the hit "Bring Me to Life," which took home the 2003 Grammy for "Best Hard Rock Performance." Despite that early success and cumulative sales of 12 Stones' music exceeding 2 million units to date, however, the band has not been able to find stability in the music industry.
"Just about everything has happened that could in a negative way," Gainer said. "Whether it be something with a single sitting right where it's about to tip over and go Top 20 and something goes wrong, or a tour that's supposed to start that's really going to put us in front of some new eyes and ears that haven't heard us before and that falls through, to record label problems, to personal problems, to member changes.
"We've had so many bass players come through since our original guy, Kevin [Dorr]. But we believe in what we're doing and we have a passion for it, and it's the thing that we want to do with our lives."
After eight years with 12 Stones, Gainer left the band in June 2010 when his wife was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
Adding to that change, 12 Stones announced two months later that it was splitting with Wind-up after nine years and three albums with the label.
"Initially, it was thyroid cancer," Gainer said. "My wife's thyroid was removed. There's a tumor on her pituitary gland. Part of her liver was removed with her gallbladder.
"There's another tumor, as well, so these things kind of kept stacking up on top of one another, and we're looking at each other really, really worried not even looking past anything other than figuring out what was wrong with her and getting her better."
For more than a year, Gainer said he didn't speak with the band as he and his wife dealt with her illness and relocated to North Dakota to be closer to her family.
"The reason I'm back is because of my wife," Gainer said of returning to 12 Stones. "She did a lot of work to reconnect me with the guys, did a lot of work to get the guys some information that they needed to understand things that were going on. Then once me, Eric and Paul started talking again, inevitably those conversations turned to the band."
With his wife healthy again and 12 Stones headed in a new direction under Executive Music Group (EMG, via Fontana/Universal), Gainer came back into the fray this year at an exciting time for the band. On May 22, 12 Stones made its EMG debut with "Beneath the Scars," its first full-length album since 2007's "Anthem for the Underdog."
Produced by Skidd Mills (Saving Abel, Saliva, Skillet), 12 Stones' latest effort offers 14 tracks and features everything from heavier anthems like "Bulletproof" and "Infected" to more heartfelt songs like "That Changes Everything" and "I'm With You," the last of which was written about a friend's suicide and the impact it had on the band.
"We're all excited," Gainer said. "I think that the main thing that we're looking at is we're excited to put this record out. We really hope that this will stabilize us.
"None of us want to be Chad Kroeger. None of us want to be Nickelback. We just want to be 12 Stones with 12 Stones fans, putting out 12 Stones records, doing 12 Stones tours and being 12 Stones."
On July 12, 12 Stones will perform at a show that also features Blameshift and In Theory at Headliners, 4500 N. Detroit Ave. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the door.
The show starts at 7 p.m. For more information, visit innovationconcerts.com.

The Moncks Corner Regional Recreation Complex includes athletic fields, a community center, a farmers market ... all these amenities designed to bring the community together.
Now, the community has stepped in to help the complexs construction to the finish line.
Foxbank LLC, the developers at Foxbank subdivision, donated $90,000 worth of topsoil for use on the football and soccer fields last week.
Without this dirt wed have us a couple of sand piles out there, said Moncks Corner Public Services Director Butch Svagerko.
Mayor Bill Peagler said the loads of topsoil had a value of $90,000 to the town.
I sincerely appreciate the donation of 5,000 cubic yards of topsoil from the developers of Foxbank Plantation, the mayor said. Jeff Randolph and Matt Bruner are stepping up as many other builders, contractors, church groups, civic clubs and developers have done to assist the Town of Moncks Corner with construction of the Moncks Corner Regional Recreation Complex.
The $90,000 estimated value of the topsoil is derived from the volume of dirt plus the vehichles and manpower to deliver the dirt from Foxbank to the rec centers Main Street location in Moncks Corner.
The donation of topsoil and the donated delivery from Foxbank will enable the town to prepare the new football and soccer fields in the recreation complex for grassing at the perfect time of the year, Peagler said.
Such help as the complex nears completion doesnt go unnoticed.
I appreciate all efforts of the private sector to assist the town with this and other worthwhile projects, the mayor said. Working together makes a real difference to the town and our taxpayers.
Peagler went on to say that he is pleased that Southard Brothers Construction is so involved in the project.
It is very helpful to have a local contractor with ties to our recreation program so involved with this project. Jason and Lee Southard take great pride in their work on this project and it is great to see their father Eddy Southard giving them a hand.

- Emperors and empresses regnant of Japan
- Prime ministers of Japan
Japan, island country lying off the east coast of Asia. It consists of a great string of islands in a northeast-southwest arc that stretches for approximately 1,500 miles (2,400 km) through the western North Pacific Ocean. Nearly the entire land area is taken up by the country's four main islands; from north to south these are Hokkaido (Hokkaidō), Honshu (Honshū), Shikoku, and Kyushu (Kyūshū). Honshu is the largest of the four, followed in size by Hokkaido, Kyushu, and Shikoku. In addition, there are numerous smaller islands, the major groups of which are the Ryukyu (Nansei) Islands (including the island of Okinawa) to the south and west of Kyushu and the Izu, Bonin (Ogasawara), and Volcano (Kazan) islands to the south and east of central Honshu. The national capital, Tokyo (Tōkyō), in east-central Honshu, is one of the world's most populous cities.
The Japanese landscape is rugged, with more than four-fifths of the land surface consisting of mountains. There are many active and dormant volcanoes, including Mount Fuji (Fuji-san), which, at an elevation of 12,388 feet (3,776 metres), is Japan's highest mountain. Abundant precipitation and the generally mild temperatures throughout most of the country have produced a lush vegetation cover and, despite the mountainous terrain and generally poor soils, have made it possible to raise a variety of crops. Japan has a large and, to a great extent, ethnically homogeneous population, which is heavily concentrated in the low-lying areas along the Pacific coast of Honshu.
Complexity and contrast are the keynotes of life in Japan—a country possessing an intricate and ancient cultural tradition yet one that, since 1950, has emerged as one of the world's most economically and technologically advanced societies. Heavy emphasis is placed on education, and Japan is one of the world's most literate countries. Tension between old and new is apparent in all phases of Japanese life. A characteristic sensitivity to natural beauty and a concern with form and balance are evident in such cities as Kyōto and Nara, as well as in Japan's ubiquitous gardens. Even in the countryside, however, the impact of rapid Westernization is evident in many aspects of Japanese life. The agricultural regions are characterized by low population densities and well-ordered rice fields and fruit orchards, whereas the industrial and urbanized belt along the Pacific coast of Honshu is noted for its highly concentrated population, heavy industrialization, and environmental pollution.
Humans have occupied Japan for tens of thousands of years, but Japan's recorded history begins only in the 1st century bce, with mention in Chinese sources. Contact with China and Korea in the early centuries ce brought profound changes to Japan, including the Chinese writing system, Buddhism, and many artistic forms from the continent. The first steps at political unification of the country occurred in the late 4th and early 5th centuries ce under the Yamato court. A great civilization then developed first at Nara in the 8th century and then at Heian-kyō (now Kyōto) from the late 8th to the late 12th century. The seven centuries thereafter were a period of domination by military rulers culminating in near isolation from the outside world from the early 17th to the mid-19th century.
The reopening of the country ushered in contact with the West and a time of unprecedented change. Japan sought to become a modern industrialized nation and pursued the acquisition of a large overseas empire, initially in Korea and China. By late 1941 this latter policy caused direct confrontation with the United States and its allies and to defeat in World War II (1939–45). Since the war, however, Japan's spectacular economic growth—one of the greatest of any nation in that period—brought the country to the forefront of the world economy. It now is one of the world's foremost manufacturing countries and traders of goods and is a global financial leader.
Japan is bounded to the west by the Sea of Japan (East Sea), which separates it from the eastern shores of South and North Korea and southeastern Siberia (Russia); to the north by La Perouse (Sōya) Strait, separating it from Russian-held Sakhalin Island, and by the Sea of Okhotsk; to the northeast by the southern Kuril Islands (since World War II under Soviet and then Russian administration); to the east and south by the Pacific; and to the southwest by the East China Sea, which separates it from China. The island of Tsushima lies between northwestern Kyushu and southeastern South Korea and defines the Korea Strait on the Korean side and the Tsushima Strait on the Japanese side.
The mountainous character of the country is the outcome of orogenic (mountain-building) forces largely during Quaternary time (roughly, the past 2.6 million years), as evidenced by the frequent occurrence of violent earthquakes, volcanic activity, and signs of change in sea levels along the coast. There are no sizable structural plains and peneplains (large land areas leveled by erosion), features that usually occur in more stable regions of the Earth. The mountains are for the most part in a youthful stage of dissection in which steep slopes are incised by dense river-valley networks. Rivers are mostly torrential, and their valleys are accompanied by series of river terraces that are the result of movements in the Earth's crust, as well as climatic and sea-level changes in Holocene times (i.e., the past 11,700 years). Recent volcanoes are juxtaposed with old and highly dissected ones. The shores are characterized by elevated and depressed features such as headlands and bays, which display an incipient stage of development.
The mountains are divided into many small land blocks that are separated by lowlands or deep saddles; there is no long or continuous mountain range. These land blocks are the result of intense faulting (movement of adjacent rock masses along a fracture) and warping (bending of the Earth's crust); the former process is regarded as dominant. One consequence is that mountain blocks are often bounded by fault scarps and flexure slopes that descend in step formation to the adjacent lowlands.
Coalescing alluvial fans—cone-shaped deposits of alluvium that run together—are formed where rivers emerge from the mountains. When the rivers are large enough to extend their courses to the sea, low deltaic plains develop in front of the fans; this occurs most frequently where the rivers empty into shallow and sheltered bays, as in the deltas of Kantō (Kwanto), Nōbi, and Ōsaka. In most places, however, fan surfaces plunge directly into the sea and are separated by low, sandy beach ridges.
Dissected plains are common. Intense disturbances have caused many former alluvial fans, deltas, and sea bottoms to be substantially uplifted to form flat-topped uplands such as those found in the Kantō Plain. Frequently the uplands have been overlain with volcanic ash, as in the Kantō and Tokachi plains.
Geologic framework
Japan is one of the world's most geologically unstable areas. The country experiences some 1,000 tremors annually, most of them minor, though major quakes—as in Tokyo-Yokohama in 1923 and Kōbe in 1995—cause considerable loss of life and widespread destruction. Violent volcanic eruptions occur frequently, and at least 60 volcanoes have been active within historical time. Volcanoes born since 1900 include Shōwa Volcano on Hokkaido and Myōjin Rock off the Beyoneisu (or Bayonnaise) Rocks in the Pacific. Among the major eruptions since 1980 are those of Mounts O (1983) and Mihara (1986) in the Izu Islands and Mount Unzen (1991) in Kyushu. The country's abundant hot springs are mostly of volcanic origin. Many of the gigantic volcanoes are conical in shape (e.g., Mount Fuji), while others form steep lava domes (e.g., Mounts Dai and Unzen). Conspicuous shield volcanoes (broad, gently sloping volcanic cones) are rare, and extensive lava plateaus are lacking. One of the characteristics of the volcanic areas is the prevalence of calderas (large, circular, basin-shaped volcanic depressions), especially in the northeast and southwest, many of which are filled with water, such as Lakes Kutcharo, Towada, and Ashi.
The cause of this instability—indeed, the reason for Japan's existence—is the tectonic movement of several of the Earth's major crustal plates in the vicinity of the archipelago. Most important is the subduction (sinking) of the Pacific Plate (in the north) and the Philippine Plate (in the south) beneath the Eurasian Plate, upon which Japan lies. The movements of these plates have formed six mountain arcs off the northeastern coast of Asia: from northeast to southwest, the Chishima Range of the Kuril Islands; the Karafuto (Sakhalin) Mountain system of Hokkaido; the Northeast, Southwest, and Shichito-Mariana ranges of Honshu; and the Ryukyu Island formations.

The Liberty University Army ROTC program began as the Eagle Battalion in 1979 in cooperation with Lynchburg College in Lynchburg, Virginia with five cadets and two cadre members. It was disbanded in 1984.
The Eagle Battalion was reestablished in 2001 as a partnership school with the Cavalier Battalion at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, Virginia with five cadets.
In 2013 Liberty University's Eagle Battalion and UVA's Cavalier Battalion both became known as Task Force Blue Ridge in order to share a common name and signify our partnership.
There are currently five full-time and two part-time cadre members that oversee the Eagle Battalion. Visit the Cadre and Staff page for more details.
Physical fitness is an important aspect of ROTC and Task Force Blue Ridge. Cadets will be expected to regularly demonstrate push-ups, sit-ups, and a two-mile run.
Properly interpreted, performance in physical fitness shows the following:
