Apple exploring over-the-air updates for iOS 5?
<img src="/sites/imore.com/files/images/stories/2011/03/ios_51.jpg" alt=Apple exploring over-the-air updates for iOS 5?" title="Apple exploring over-the-air updates for iOS 5?" width="500" height="224" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-57632" />
Mark Gurman from 9to5Mac is hearing that Apple and Verizon are discussing over-the-air (OTA) software updates for iOS 5. Google's Android and HP/Palm's webOS have been doing OTA OS updates for a while now, and Apple has done OTA carrier file updates, but when it comes to iOS the only option thus far has been complete firmware updates via iTunes.
Multiple sources say the new feature will debut in iOS 5, meaning iOS 5 will not come over-the-air but following point updates to it will. Just like tethering in iOS 3, Apple has the technology but cannot just unleash it everywhere. Apple and Verizon Wireless are said to have been in talks over these wireless software updates since early this year. Sources could not comment on whether or not Apple is negotiating similar deals with AT&T or international iPhone carriers.
And according to Chronic Dev-Team founder, Chronic, it may have been in the works for a while:
I can say quite a bit of code to allow OTA updates has been on the OS for awhile
Chpwn adds:
MobileSoftwareUpdate.framework has been there since iOS 4, but is only "fleshed out" with daemons, etc on the Apple TV.
And iH8ns0w:
there is strong evidence that OTA updates could be coming. Ramdisks have been getting shipped w/o encryption. The AES engine is disabled when it reaches kernel state. So, it cannot decrypt images in iOS.
Apple TV (2010) already does OTA updates for iOS, though it's secured to a power source at all times. Apple provided Mac OS X Lion's developer preview via the Mac App Store, so it's not inconceivable that future iOS updates could come via the iOS App Store either.
Step by step Apple has been dismantling the iTunes tether dependency. Could OTA updates be the next big leap?

Apple exploring over-the-air updates for iOS 5?
Certainly took them long enough.
Id hope this was in conjunction with, not in place of traditional firmware updates... id hate to have to rely on my carrier to get non carrier related updates, because you just know they are going to sit on them rather then get them out to you asap. Apple has a vested interest in getting updates out, carriers less so....
I'd assume it would be mostly carrier independent. After all there are no carriers that support ATV!
I don't see how any of these would be allowed over 3G... Anyone ever tried downloading a 700 MB file on 3G before?
I agree, I loved how easy it was on my sidekick. A lot of people don't even care to update due to being lazy about having to plug in and sync and update through the computer, I think this would drive a lot more people to actually be up to date with the current iOS at all times.
Well there's more than just laziness to account for not updating frequently. There's jailbreakers of course but there's also the whole having to download half a gig of data for what amounts to a patch quality update.
This seems nice but I'll still prefer updating using iTunes just like desktop manager with my BlackBerry.
No way! I just left Android and that was one of the main things i hated about it. Verizon testing (sitting on) updates for months at a time. I love being able to get an update the day it comes out not 6 months later when Verizon decides it's fit.
OTA can include WiFi. Really all OTA means is not needing to tether your device to a computer.
Goodbye Jailbreak
Yea I'm not a big fan of OTA, when I had a android I would sometimes be waiting a long time for an update while my friend would have already had it. I think how it should be offered is iTunes update comes out then for those who don't update they get an OTA notification a week or two later.
Good point, also I remember when I had my driod global in Jan and I had an update, hit the update button via 3G and it would move super slow. Best part, it would fail after it finally loads up. I tried wifi, then it would fail at the middle, making me just get fed up and that would be the only way to update. It's okay, but I think both options should be available. Also, like one guy on top mention, goodbye jailbreak. I remember when I was using my G1 when I had tmobile and I got an update right when I was texting. I hit the update button by mistake and it updated. I lost my root ability and got my phone frozen for stopping the update process. How many people will this happen too? I think I'm going to pass on iOS 5.0 and OTA. I hated it on Android, and even more when I hit update and it said no update was there when I know it was. It's just not a good experience to me.
Not sure how this work OTA as when you do it tethered the update is unpacked first on the PC/MAC then installed to the device. Doin this on the device will either require space in the storage area or the unpackaged update to be smaller than the RAM on the device itself. I am pro this method but maybe this hurdle is why it has taken so long or it may be a function/utilisation of the new cloud storage/mobile me upgrade and data centre!
All the major changes in Android have been pushed out via OTA updates, there is no real reason why Apple couldn't do this with iOS. Sure, it would mean changing their procedure but there is currently no real advantage to using that procedure anyway.
Maybe I'm alone in this, but I've had some bad luck with software updates for my 3GS. 1 out of 5 point updates for me has sent my iPhone into crash situations, where I've had to do complete resets to factory defaults, the install from backup. I assume that OTA updates wouldn't have a backup before update function. For me this is a deal breaker!
As a recent convert from Blackberry on Verizon to iPhone on Verizon, OTA updates make me very nervous. They were invariably an unmitigated disaster every time for BB via VZW. Both BB and VZW tech support ALWAYS counseled against using OTA updates in favor of BB Desktop (the equiv of synching with iTunes). I tried it once and ended up having to completely rebuild my BB from OS to apps and data; never again.
If they can make it "free" as in it's not part of my bandwidth allotment and painless as in an opt-in low level background download process, I can see it working. This should be the way to do it.
If it is a patch process instead of a replacing the whole OS process, I think that'll be a headache for all involved.
Going through iTunes is the best way to do it overall, so they should maintain that. People who think supporting OS updates through iTunes is a disadvantage are crazy.
Do you really trust that your would even be able to BEGIN the download with Verizon, let alone complete it?
All the comments above about large files over 3G, etc...Apple should do it like it is done on Android and allow you to select Wi-Fi or Wi-Fi/3G [or 4G, pending the carrier]. It allows you to choose when and how to download.
Oh and let me add, OTA for iOS would be a great move. It is needed for sure. +1 for removing one more tethering requirement. iOS users would love the freedom of no tethering to iTunes.

Ever since we first read Becca Fitzpatrick's Hush, Hush, back when a slew of angel-themed YA novels threatened to wipe vampires off the shelves in 2009, we've been wondering what was taking Hollywood so long to snatch up the series. It's got all the elements of a great addictive movie franchise: relatable heroine (Nora Grey, a science wiz and cellist whose father was murdered recently), irresistible mysterious bad-boy (Nora's new biology partner Patch, who ditches homework for the pool hall), hilarious best friend (Vee, we can't even describe her in a phrase) and complex mythology that unfolds carefully throughout the book. There are fallen angels, love triangles, murder mysteries and a seedy New England setting in the mix too. And yes, today, finally, comes the news from Entertainment Weekly that LD Entertainment will adapt the four-book saga for the big screen. Greek creator Patrick Sean Smith will write the screenplay.
Hush, Hush fans have been fantasy casting this story for years now, and even Fitzpatrick once had her own dream choices for the roles. "I started writing Hush, Hush almost ten years ago, so I was picturing actors who are obviously now too old to play the parts. I wanted Steven Strait for Patch and Emmy Rossum for Nora, but that won't work anymore," she told EW. Now she thinks some undiscovered actors should star. Fair enough, but we took a shot at choosing some up-and-comers we love for the roles. Check out our choices and then chime in with your own!

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. --- Five different players scored for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's soccer team Sunday afternoon in the third game of the Under Armour Border Classic hosted by Gardner-Webb. The Mocs improve to 3-3 on the year while the Bulldogs move to 3-6-1 overall.
"The beauty of our goals today, was that they were all team goals," UTC Head Coach J.D. Kyzer said. "None were by someone alone. It took a team effort."
Chattanooga got the scoring started in the 23rd minute with a header from freshman Ashley Simmons (Hixson, Tenn.) on a corner kick from sophomore Hannah Wyatt (Soddy Daisy, Tenn.). It would take just a little more than two minutes for the Mocs to add its second goal of the game. Sophomore Clare Latham (Cordova, Tenn.) sent a through ball to classmate Loryn Queen (Lanesville, Ind.) whose shot beat out the Bulldog keeper from 10 yards out.
"We had six corner kicks in the first half against Gardner-Webb [on Friday]," Kyzer said. "We talked a lot about how we can't have so many corners and not score. We stressed that and were able to convert today."
Still in the first half, the Mocs would get another first-time goal as freshman Monica Speth (Janesville, Wis.) connected with the net on her shot. She was slotted the ball by sophomore Logan Higgins (Louisville, Ky.) and got past two defenders for had a 1-on-1 with the keeper on the left side for her first collegiate goal. Chattanooga took a 3-0 lead into intermission.
In the second half, the Mocs would get two more goals to build its lead. Latham picked up a pass from Speth at the top of the box and beat out the defenders with a shot from the right side. In the 68th mninute, junior Crystal Mackezyk (Columbia, Tenn.) knocked in her team-high fourth goal of the year with an assist from sophomore Skylar Brewer (Farragut, Tenn.) for the Mocs' fifth goal of the game.
"We were able to put two halves together today," Kyzer said. "It showed that we came ready to play today."
South Carolina State scored its lone goal in the waning minutes of the game as Dominique Brown fired in her third goal of the season from the right side for the final 5-1 margin.
The Mocs outshot SCSU 19-8 with a 13-5 shots on goal advantage. Senior keeper Taylor Mangrum (Franklin, Tenn.) started the game and played nearly 68 minutes in goal. She made just one save and did not give up a single goal. Sophomore Lauren Thomas (Germantown, Tenn.) was inserted into the game midway through the second half and made three saves while giving one goal.
Bulldog keeper Haley Austin made eight saves in her 90 minutes in goal while allowing five goals to the Mocs.
Chattanooga remains on the road with a match at Tennessee Tech Friday evening in Cookeville. The contest is set to kick off at 5 p.m. Eastern Time. Live stats will be available for the match.

It's 9 a.m. on a Friday and a tired Wolves team has just returned from a difficult road trip. Players might be tempted to move slowly as they prepare for the morning skate, but center Andre Deveaux is armed with a microphone and a camera crew and is keeping everyone on their toes.
The 26-year-old forward is gamely filming his new Wolves TV feature, "Dish With Devo," in which he interviews teammates on a variety of topics of his choice, ranging from what they want for Christmas, to why he has not been selected as best man in an upcoming wedding.
Deveaux's act isn't just for the cameras. His intimidating presence on the ice transforms into a playful one in the locker room, and his status as one of the team's resident pranksters is what led the club to give him his "TV reporting" debut.
"He definitely keeps things loose and keeps guys on their toes," said right wing Darren Haydar. "Between him and Boris (Valabik), there isn't usually a dull moment in our locker room."
"That's the way I've always been," Deveaux, or 'Devo' to his teammates, said. "I'm always the guy playing pranks. I think I get it back tenfold, but that's the way it should be. I think the boys like it. They act like I annoy them, but if I wasn't in the room they'd all notice."
The way Deveaux sees it, keeping the atmosphere around the rink light is an important element for fostering a happy, functional team.
"It's always important to have a sense of humor," he said. "If all you're talking about is hockey all the time and you're not having a good time, it's a long year, it's going to get tedious."
He may enjoy being a goofball, but the exterior of a charismatic jokester belies a serious hockey player who has for years been grappling to find his niche in the professional game.
Originally drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in 2002, Deveaux learned that the team did not intend to sign him after juniors.
"I went to two camps (with Montreal) and my last year of juniors they told my agent that they weren't considering signing me. I went back in the draft and didn't get drafted, but right at the end, Tampa Bay called and said they wanted to be the first to offer me a spot at their rookie camp, and they ended up signing me after the rookie tournament in Traverse City and gave me my first shot at pro."
The then 20-year-old Deveaux began his pro career with the American Hockey League's Springfield Falcons. Admittedly, he had some growing up to do.
Living on his own for the first time, the young forward got some help from the older players on his team, but he credits his first professional coach with the assist on one particular life skill.
"I remember I got my first bill in the mail, and I had no idea what to do with it," he laughed. "I had to go ask my coach, Dirk Graham, how to pay a bill and he taught me how."
He soon learned that adjusting to the pro lifestyle was a challenge on the ice as well. Deveaux spent two and a half seasons shuttling between Springfield and the ECHL's Johnstown Chiefs and entertained the possibility that his professional career would be over before it really began.
"I was up and down a little bit," he said. "They kept sending me down and I actually debated for a little bit about not playing hockey and maybe going back to school."
On February 1, 2007, Deveaux's luck changed.
"I was back in Springfield and we were on the bus and I was sitting in the back with Andy Delmore playing cards," he remembered. "The coach was inside talking on the phone and the bus was late leaving. All the boys were wondering what was going on and Delly said, 'I think I'm getting traded,' so I shook his hand and said, 'sorry Delly, I would have liked to play with you a little more,' and then the coach came on the bus and said, 'I need to see Delmore and Deveaux.'"
The Chicago Wolves were putting together a team to make a playoff run, and had their eye on the big forward. Within a few months, Deveaux went from contemplating the end of his hockey career, to a regular player on a team in the Western Conference Finals.
He returned to Chicago the following season and played an important role on the team that went on to capture the 2008 Calder Cup Championship, joining Colin Stuart and Kevin Doell in forming the team's energetic, defensively-minded third line.
"Our job was to play against other team's top lines, which was an opportunity for us because we knew we'd be playing a lot," he explained. "Our job was to make sure the other team didn't score, and I had to do a lot more fighting back then. It was part of my job."
It was a job at which Deveaux excelled, and his skills – and confidence – grew as the team played deep into the postseason.
After the championship, the once struggling player had earned himself an offer from the National Hockey League's Toronto Maple Leafs, where his newfound confidence helped him continue to develop with the AHL's Toronto Marlies.
"My confidence was pretty high after winning a Calder Cup, so I wasn't afraid to try stuff when I went to Toronto," Deveaux said.
"Sometimes in hockey you make high-risk, high-reward plays. Sometimes they pay off, and if they don't, you look silly, but I was trying a lot of high-risk stuff and it paid off. I went into the season that way and scored a lot of goals. Before, my job had been defense - I never had a chance to be too offensive – but it was actually a pretty simple transition for me to get into more of an offensive style."
Before long, the Maple Leafs took notice and Deveaux was recalled to make his NHL debut, but as with his first pro experience in Springfield, Deveaux was reminded that professional hockey isn't always glamorous, even in the NHL.
"I got called up because I was scoring goals - it was the first time in my career I had started playing a lot and being offensive - and then I went up there and I just fought. I was only playing one or two minutes a game – which was great because I was in the NHL – but it felt almost like a step back."
Then, when he was least expecting it, something beyond his control changed his course again.
"I tore ligaments in my hand and I couldn't fight anymore," he said. "I had to make the decision to either get surgery and end my season, or go down to the AHL and not fight, so I went down and just played my game and I'm glad I did. I think I had 25 points and 14 goals in 34 games, which was a huge stepping stone for me. I made myself realize I could contribute in ways other than fighting and playing defensive."
After leading the Marlies in scoring last year, Deveaux found himself weighing options for the 2010-11 season. He turned to his former Wolves teammates Jason Krog and Darren Haydar for advice, and the duo helped persuade him to consider returning to Chicago.
"I called Krogger, and he said, 'why don't you come back to the Wolves? If an NHL team really likes you, they can always come get you.' And I realized that makes the most sense for me," explained Deveaux. "Now, I'm not worried about who's going up and who's going down and I can just concentrate on the important stuff and helping my team win here. It's no secret that teams want winners, and team success really breeds individual success."
The 2011 Deveaux is the same character fans remember from 2008 off the ice, but on the ice, his persona is significantly different. He still racks up the penalty minutes, but he also leads the team in power-play goals.
"I think his confidence with the puck has definitely grown. He likes to make plays now and he's actually pretty good at it," laughed Haydar. "He's a big body, so he can control the puck and keep the puck and he seems to take that role a little more seriously than he did before. Before, he just wanted to crash and bang, and now he's able to do that, but with a little more confidence with the puck."
Deveaux agrees that he has finally found a niche that suits him.
"I think there's always room for improvement, but I like where I am now," he said. "I'm getting a couple points, I'm playing offensively and I still play physical and mix in a couple fights here and there.
"If an NHL opportunity comes along, great, and if not, I'm playing for a team I love with some good friends – and not just teammates. I have relationships with other people in the organization like Wendell Young and Kenny McCudden, and I won a championship here."
As for his playful antics off the ice?
"I've learned you have to pick your spots," Deveaux said. "You can't always be joking around and playing pranks. There's a time and a place for it, and as the years have gone on I've kind of learned that - to an extent…but I'm still pretty bad."

Online land commercial center Zillow today affirmed that it has contracted Errol Samuelson, the previous president of Realtor.com and boss methodology officer of Move, Inc., as its "head industry improvement officer." Samuelson will take official oversight for the organization's business-to-business items and devices, including administrations like Diverse Solutions, which helps land executors advertise their business, and Agentfolio, a correspondence stage for purchase side operators and their purchasers.
Samuelson, who has about 20 years of experience in the land business, will report straightforwardly to Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff. Samuelson turned into the president of Realtor.com in 2007 and joined Move, Inc. in April 2013.
"We're excited for Errol to join the Zillow gang. We've since a long time ago respected Errol for his administration and also his point of view and approach in pushing in the interest of the land business to grasp and influence advancing innovation and times," said Rascoff in a proclamation today. "We put colossal esteem on cultivating extraordinary organizations and building imaginative items that backing our industry accomplices, and Errol is the ideal individual to lead this new part."
The move likewise indicates how paramount the B2b business has gotten to be for Zillow, which opened up to the world in 2011. While the organization began as a land quest administration for homebuyers when it started in 2006, it immediately ventured into other land related administrations too. Generally, the organization has finished this through acquisitions. Simply a year ago, for instance, it procured Buyfolio (which has now gotten to be Agentfolio). Differing Solutions was procured in 2011.

Banning welfare recipients from playing the lotto would probably cut lotto sales in half.
As the article says, it would be really hard to enforce this. Who's to say the money the person used to buy the ticket wasn't received as a gift, e.g. birthday, holiday, etc.? Yes, it probably isn't but to try to prove that with a cash purchase business would be difficult.
It may also be short-sighted on the part of the legislator who's advocating for this as they could be drying up the state's coffers from lottery ticket sales proceeds. :smile2: I don't know how it works there but a lot of money from lottery sales goes right back into the state's coffers here. I pulled this from the web site for the Maine State Lottery:
Since 1974, the Maine State Lottery has transferred over $1 billion to Maine State Government's General Fund. This milestone occurred during the 2nd quarter of fiscal year 2011.
The average annual transfer to the General Fund since 2005 has been $50 million. In fiscal year 2010, the Maine State Lottery transferred a record $52.2 million to the General Fund.
General Fund contributions from the Maine State Lottery are redistributed by the Maine State Legislature and the Governor of Maine to over 250 various state programs and services that have a direct impact on the citizens of Maine.
Finally, since 1996, the Maine State Lottery has transferred $15.8 million to the Outdoor Heritage Fund. This money, generated from the proceeds of certain $1 instant ticket games, has been helping to fund
critical conservation and wildlife projects throughout Maine.
Not to mention that if by some far out chance, the person actually won they'd then be off the welfare program.
And since it was my money (generally speaking) that was used to purchase a lottery ticket when it was given to the needy to purchase basic necessities like food... perhaps any lottery winnings should go back to the people who actually paid for it, or to senior citizens as is the case in my state where lottery proceeds go. :mad:
Oh for the love of--GAH. This is about as sensible as drug testing welfare recipients. Expensive, painful to enforce, and very little if any return.
If a state thinks that the lottery is not a good idea, then ban the lottery. I get so very tired of these proposed showboat morality laws that penalize people who are already in a bad way. Is there really that big a problem with people on welfare pissing away their rent money on lottery tickets? Really? Or is this just about moral outrage? Because if it is, as a fellow taxpayer I would prefer to pay for better roads and more teachers before satisfying the moral outrage of some random person who really has no freaking clue HOW their tax dollars are divided.
To the extent that the word "welfare" encompasses more than just cash and since playing the lottery is playing a game, and not even gambling let's get real, I wonder if denying someone who legitimately needs the government to give them money the enjoyment of that game is not kind of cruel.

Technical Guidelines
HS1AF Technical Guidelines
We are looking forward to your visit in November. These guidelines are provided to give you some idea of the technical elements that will be available to you as you work on your piece. If you have questions, please don't hesitate to contact Noemi DeWeerd at firstname.lastname@example.com.
1. Time-frame
Please limit your performance to no longer than 15 minutes. If a scene(s) from your fall show is appropriate, feel free to use that. Please, make sure that your one-act fits this time limit to allow time for set-up and take-down.
2. Space
Our black box theatre will be set up in a thrust configuration. We encourage you to use this space to its fullest potential as you direct. A ground plan is included which shows dimensions and entrances/exits. We've also include a short chapter on directing for the thrust stage.
The back "wall" of the stage will consist of black curtains to keep it as flexible as possible for all the pieces. Typically, a black box space lends itself to a more suggestive use of space (i.e., not a realistic set). Think outside the box and be creative when creating your ground plan and staging your piece.
3. Set
Some simple set pieces/furniture from Dordt's stock are available to you:
Stock platforms (4' x 8' and 4'x4') that can be legged at various heights
A freestanding door
Tables (one small and one large)
Black rehearsal cubes
Your list of set pieces is due on October 1. We are not able to guarantee the availability of these items beyond this date.
Click here for a pdf file of the theater layout.
4. Props
You will have access to our props room. However, if you have special or unusual props necessary for your piece, we recommend you bring them with you. Please send your props list to firstname.lastname@example.com by October 1, 2014.
5. Costumes
We ask you to bring your own costumes. Our costume shop will be available to you for any last minute fixes or costume emergencies.
6. Lights and Sound
We will provide a basic lighting plot for your piece. We might be able to accommodate one special need or enhancement. Please email your special lighting needs request to email@example.com by October 1 and indicate on a ground plan what you would like. If you have sound effects/music, please burn them on a CD and bring them with you.
We will provide sound and light runners for your production. A carefully marked script with light and sound cues indicated must be mailed to Dordt two weeks prior to the festival in order for our board operators to become familiar with the cues.
A pdf file of a basic light plot will be posted on the website soon.
7. Rehearsal time
You will have one tech rehearsal in the theatre before you perform the piece. Dordt staff will be available to help you during this rehearsal. A two-hour block of time has also been set aside on Saturday morning for additional acting rehearsal if needed. These rehearsals will take place in designated rehearsal rooms (the performance venue will not be available).

WILLIAMSON — "Walking pneumonia" medically known as Atypical Pneumonia, sounds like it could be a character in a sci-fi horror flick. Although this form of infectious pneumonia can make you miserable it's actually the least scary kind of pneumonia, although many who have received this diagnosis will disagree.
According to information received from area physicians and hospital emergency room personnel, cases of walking pneumonia are steadily on the rise and patients as young as 10 years old up to 87 years old have been diagnosed and treated locally, with a few being ill to the point that they required a hospital stay. This type of pneumonia is generally mild and typically doesn't require hospitalization. In fact, you could have walking pneumonia and not even know it. However; when patients who have underlying health conditions are affected, the treatment plan is a more aggressive one that may include intravenous antibiotics. Following, you will read information about what causes this illness, how it spreads, and what you can do to avoid it.
Walking pneumonia is a non-medical term to describe a mild case of pneumonia. It can also be called atypical pneumonia because the disease is different from more serious cases of pneumonia caused by typical bacteria.
Pneumonia is a disease of the lungs that often results from a lung infection. Lots of things can cause pneumonia, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, chemicals or inhaled food, and it is sometimes the result of a lung infection from a bacterial microorganism called "Mycoplasma Pneumoniae".
Individuals at any age can get walking pneumonia. The disease that stems from mycoplasma is most common though, in older children and adults younger than 50. People who live and work in crowded places such as schools, hospitals, factories, homeless shelters, and prisons have a higher risk of contracting the disease because walking pneumonia is contagious. It's spread when someone comes in contact with droplets from the nose and throat of someone who has it. That commonly happens when the person with walking pneumonia sneezes or coughs.
Cases of walking pneumonia are most common in the late summer and fall, although the mild winter the Tug Valley area has experienced is the perfect breeding ground for germs. It's important to remember that infections can occur with no particular pattern throughout the year and even though the disease is contagious, it spreads slowly. The contagious period in most cases lasts less than 10 days. Researchers also think it takes prolonged close contact with an infected person for someone else to develop walking pneumonia; still, there are widespread outbreaks every four to eight years. When those outbreaks occur, walking pneumonia can account for as many as one out of every two cases of pneumonia. Symptoms generally appear 15 to 25 days after exposure to the mycoplasma and develop slowly over a period of two to four days. Symptoms include a cough that may come in violent spasms but produces very little mucus and mild flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills, sore throat, headache, fatigue, and lingering weakness that may persist and linger after other symptoms go away.
Some cases of walking pneumonia are never diagnosed because people don't seek medical help. If you do go to the doctor, the diagnosis will depend on your medical history and the results of a physical exam. The doctor will start by asking you about your symptoms and how long you have had them. The doctor may also ask you about where you work and whether anyone at home or at your workplace is also sick.
During the physical, the doctor will listen to your chest with a stethoscope. The doctor may also ask for a chest x-ray and blood test. There is a blood test that can specifically identify a mycoplasma infection although it's seldom performed unless there is a widespread outbreak that's being studied. Another test may be ordered that identifies the increased presence of certain immune substances called cold agglutinins. This test won't confirm that you have walking pneumonia, but it can suggest it. The best way to diagnosis the disease is with a chest x-ray.
Walking pneumonia is generally treated with antibiotics. Mild infections are often not treated because they tend to clear on their own. With treatment, most people begin to feel better within a few days. Many over-the-counter medicines used for colds and flus may not help with complete relief of symptoms of walking pneumonia. It's important to talk with your doctor about any medicines you are taking or planning to take. It's also important to drink fluids and to get plenty of rest.
There is a certain level of immunity that occurs after someone has a case of walking pneumonia. It isn't permanent and it's unclear how long it lasts so you could at some point develop walking pneumonia again. When it does reoccur, it may be milder the second time around. There is no vaccine for mycoplasma infections and there's no way to prevent it. There are things you can do, though, to reduce your chances of getting it.
Exercise, eat a well-balanced diet, and get adequate sleep. Proper nutrition will help keep your body healthy and healthy body is better able to resist infection. Wash your hands frequently. Hand washing is one of the best ways to prevent germs from spreading. Refrain from smoking since this addictive habit is known to damages the lungs, making them more susceptible to infection. Cover your mouth with your sleeve when you cough or sneeze and urge others to do the same. Coughing and sneezing are the primary ways infectious agents are spread.
If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, you are urged to seek medical attention before your condition worsens or develops into something more serious. Always remember that prevention is far better than a cure but when symptoms occur and an infectious is present, treatment is the only option to overcome most illnesses.

Rosemont, Ill. ---The Chicago Wolves opened a two-goal lead midway through the second period, but San Antonio rallied to claim a 5-4 shootout victory on Sunday afternoon at Allstate Arena.
Forwards Stefan Schneieder, Nathan Longpre, Devin DiDiomete and Michael Davies scored goals for the Wolves, but San Antonio center Zach Hamill and right wing Jon Rheault notched the only goals in the shootout to lift the Rampage to the win.
"Both teams seemed a bit warn down today," said Wolves head coach Scott Arniel. "We made a few too many mental mistakes in our zone and it cost us."
The Wolves (24-16-4-3) opened the scoring with Schneider's power-play goal at 11:12 of the first period. Mark Matheson's cross-ice pass set up a quick wrist shot by Davies from the left circle. San Antonio goaltender Jacob Markstrom stopped Davies' try, but Schneider waited just outside the crease for an easy tap-in of the rebound.
San Antonio (23-23-1-4) evened the score with 36 seconds left in the first as Rheault converted the rebound after Wolves goaltender Matt Climie stopped Rheault's first point-blank try.
The Rampage seized a 2-1 lead on defenseman Brendon Nash's power-play goal at 4:36 of the second. Nash's slap shot from the point eluded the screened Climie.
The Wolves retaliated with a pair of goals in a 32-second stretch. Longpre evened the score at 5:31 of the second as he banked a shot from the goal line off a San Antonio skate. Matheson picked up the assist on Longpre's first goal since Oct. 19.
DiDiomete gave Chicago a 3-2 lead at 6:03 as he notched his first goal in a Wolves uniform. While fighting his way across the slot, he swatted Connauton's deflected pass out of the air and past Markstrom. Center Alex Mallet earned his first AHL point with an assist on the play.
Davies pushed Chicago's margin to 4-2 with a power-play goal at 9:58. Connauton and Schneider set up Davies' close-range goal that went through Markstrom's legs.
San Antonio pulled within 4-3 at 17:01 when center Scott Timmons flipped home a rebound of Rheault's shot from the right circle. The Rampage made it 4-4 when center Jared Gomes claimed a loose puck just inside the blue line, raced down the slot and snapped a shot past Climie's stick-side at 3:24 of the third.
Climie (12-13-2) stopped 34 of 38 shots in the loss. Markstrom (16-15-2) rejected 28 of 32 shots.
The Wolves return to the Allstate Arena ice at 7 p.m. Wednesday with a game against Abbotsford. For tickets, call 1-800-THE-WOLVES or visit ChicagoWolves.com.

So does your international iPhone 4 have death-grip or death-touch?
One of the lingering questions surrounding iPhone 4 and the whole "antennagate" saga is just how much, if any, of the problem could be blamed on the traditional network whipping boy, AT&T. Sure, you could reduce or kill iPhone 4 data and voice reception by gripping it firmly around the base to attenuate the signal or touching it at the bottom left corner to de-tune the antenna, but would that be a problem on carriers with stronger networks?
So, the moment I got my iPhone 4 up and running on Rogers Canada yesterday, I aimed to find out and the answer -- is as complicated and confusing as always.
First test was right outside the Apple Store, inside the mall. I had 4 bars on both iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS running iOS 4.0.1. Holding either one in a death-grip, even lightly, dropped them a bar. Covering the lower-left spot of iPhone 4 also dropped it a bar. Neither had any real-world problems. 3 bars is fine.
Next test was to go out and find low signal areas. Interestingly, driving through areas where iPhone 3GS briefly drops to EDGE, iPhone 4 stayed on 3G longer and came back to it faster. When I stopped and stayed in an area with 1 to 2 bars of 3G signal, that's where the fun began. And by fun I mean crazy.
My results, on both iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS were all over the place. Again, I could drop a bar, sometimes both bars, by death-gripping either phone or death-touching iPhone 4. Every so often, however, death-touching iPhone 4 got it to jump up to 3 bars. It happened enough that it wasn't a fluke, but I couldn't do it every time. Once I managed to cover enough antenna to get iPhone 4 to search for the network. I couldn't get iPhone 3GS to do that -- it stayed on 0 bars but on network -- but unless I was trying to crush the phone with both hands I'd never hold it that way in real life.
In terms of data speeds, again the results were crazy. I could drop speeds by half with death-grip on both iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, and death-touch on iPhone 4. Starting from 1 or 2 bars, I could even stop network connectivity completely, again with death-grip on both or death-touch on iPhone 4.
But sometimes only HSDPA (download) would drop while HSUPA (upload) would go up or stay steady. Sometimes the opposite. The results were so crazy, so varied, I'm considering calling the whole thing black magic and just forgetting about it.
So, on Rogers in Canada, death-grip is real but certainly not limited to iPhone 4, while death-touch is also real and limited to iPhone 4 but presents much the same way. Areas of poor signal can be problematic in theory but in a way that's utterly impossible to predict. In practice, dropping calls didn't happen, dropping data was easy to work around, and dropping network had to be forced.
UPDATE: I just ran similar tests on the Nexus One in the same area of poor Rogers reception. Death-touch has no effect, one finger held along the left side drops it a bar and reduces data roughly 25%, death-grip drops 2 bars and reduces data 75%. Death-grip and putting my other hand behind the phone as well killed data but didn't drop any additional bars.

So does your international iPhone 4 have death-grip or death-touch?
If you don't know the conditions of the tower, you can't really understand your performance. The tower and or phone can decide to boost signal levels to get a better signal. When you have 2 or more devices, a dance begins.
And like a TV antenna, your hand changes the tuning characteristics of the antenna, sometimes better sometimes not. Depends on the signal levels that day. It's crapshoot for every phone in low signal areas.
And like always, if you hold the two sides of the iPhone 4, you are bridging the two antennas. The only difference is several inches of skin.
Australia, as it's spelt. I'm with Vodafone Australia & don't find the deathgrip a problem. If in full strength areas, it drop 1 or 2 bars & stops. If I'm in a weak spot with 1 or 2 bars then yes it drops back 1 but doesn't go searching for a network. I think the deathgrip stuff is blown way out of preportion. Who in there right mind holds a mobile like that anyhow.
This is one of those pointless articles to me that just keeps this whole antenna deal alive. Some will be affected, most won't. If you honestly try to reproduce the "death grip" you can but in terms of daily usage, no, you can't. (at least for me) So that's why you can, if you choose to, get a free bumper. Case closed, move on, and if it's so bad, return it. But all these articles are just annoying to me. (sorry for the rant, just my two cents on the matter)
P.S. Love my iPhone 4. Pretty Shweeeet.
AUSTRIA (T-Mobile): got iphone4 yesterday noon from postman. everything works smooth (as expected) - no "deathgrip"-behaviour so far (and i really tried hard to simulate, but no chance).
No issues on Telstra, Vodafone, 3, or Optus in Australia in downtown (CBD) Sydney. I took a drive out to the outer suburbs and was able to make the bars drop a bit but no change in call quality.
As I've said before, its a non-issue. It has NO effect on the actual functionality of the phone. I <3 my iPhone 4s!
Reliably down from 4bars to NO SERVICE in Glastonbury, UK on O2. However, no noticeable problems with the free Apple Bumper I received today.
All everyone ever talks about is the death touch. I would like to talk about the life touch of this phone. Ever since the launch of the 3G here in Canada, I have been lamenting my location. There is a cell tower literally within view of my house, yes I have no signal because of a ridge that runs between the field the tower is in, and my house. I brought my iPhone 4 home, ad was astonished to see that it still showed signal. My 3GS used to do this from time to time, but the signal would always mysteriously disappear if you tried to do ANYTHING with the phone. So I opened up a web page... And it loaded at 3G speeds no less. The signal still showed 2 bars. I tried to make a call, it went through. I looked at my old 3GS... No signal.
Can I make my iPhone 4 drop some bars, yes. But nothing I tried has EVER gotten my 3G or 3GS (or my sisters winnow phone, or my friend's blackberry) to have signal anywhere in my house.
That my friends, is the iPhone 4 touch of life, and what the press doesn't want you to hear, because it would make them seem petty and childish. Oh wait....
Do not post comments simply to say first, odds are, they'll be deleted.
Yeah, this is a dead topic. Asking regular people to test and offer conclusions about the complex interaction between the transmitter, the unseen electromagnetic environment in between, and the handling of the receiver will not help the discussion any further.
What Apple needs to do is to physically change things so that "regular people" and the media cannot discuss this anymore and truly make it a dead issue.
--- Here is one solution
My recommendation is for Apple to continue to employ the [electromagnetic and structural] advantages of an external antenna and make the metal band around the phone an array of antenna segments that can be dynamically ganged together in real time depending on how the phone is being held for maximum benefit, and call it the world's first "touch antenna."
They could make the gaps between the segments invisible and the same color as the metal so no one knows where the gaps are (like the way Apple hides indicator lights in the surfaces of many of its products) and thereby "detune" the endless and meaningless discussion.
You may quote me.
Mark Hernandez
The Information Workshop
Thanks for reminding the population, that the one finger death-touch is the problem. Not the death-grip.
Reason I say that is because, it personally bothers me how Apple is trying to divert attention from the real issue at hand, to a more common death-grip occurence- one that under normal real world circumstances, an individual would not experience.
Thanks for showing the rest of the world, that we can still think things through, and not be brain washed by whatever corporate company wants us to believe.
I for one think it is complete nonsense to have to have a special case on a phone so that you don't lose signal (I wonder how well this case even works?). Iphone 4 still has issues that should have been corrected by now... It just launched yesterday in Canada with these antenna problems still. They tested the phone before launching it and were clearly well aware of the signal problems but did nothing about it since they knew people would still buy it because its an apple product. Customers that have been warned about these issues and still purchase an iphone4....well you can see where I am going with that comment. No 4G networks in Canada only 3G, so Apple nice try on blaming the issues on the companies with 4G networks in the States. I did have a good laugh when I went to apples website though. They try and attack some of the other manufactures out there with images showing models that have similar problems with the antenna. Sorry apple my blackberry works just fine no matter how I hold it.
hey guys.. unfortunately HK has problems with the antenna.. damn.!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QC-uP1XRn44
@ Mark Hernandez - ..."an array of antenna segments that can be dynamically ganged together"...
Wow. That's a great idea if it could work. Not sure how to electrically group physically separate segments together, but if that could be done, it's the solution. Maybe some kind of semiconductor between the segments that could be switched between insulation and conductivity...
Rene, we all know full well that the "death grip" is a full on hardware problem. EVERY SINGLE IPHONE 4 EVER BUILD has this issue if you decide to hold your finger/hand over that lower left corner antenna space. Anyhow, it hasn't affected me yet in day to day use.
More important question: How do international customers get free bumpers? There's no free case app in the Canadian store.
Here in Canada with Rogers ... I have tried it in many different places... It would drop 1 or maybe 2 in worse signal areas. I believe this is an AT&T issue. I have to say that everything works perfect and unable to duplicate the antenna nor the proximity sensor. 10/10.
Fantastic idea, to get people around the world to report their take on this. For those with no issue with their units but are blind enough to conclude that other should not either are silly, as obviously this issue is real. I just wish Rene did his tests with say a Nokia or a BB side by side with the iphones. thanks.
That is odd. On my iPhone 4, I was able to reproduce the same signal drop with a "death touch" time after time in the same areas. It would go from about 2.5 down and 1 up to .3 down and 0 up in the span of a minute after touching the forbidden spot. Of course some of your fluctuation might be due to network traffic, but I bet you can reproduce the signal drop consistently. It's a real issue, and one Apple apparently has either absolutely no idea how to fix, apart from a complete redesign, or is just willing to live with the flaw because people are buying to phone regardless.
First thing I did when taking it out of the box was attempt to death grip(on the bell network) but it wouldn't drop any bars at all .. I'm not saying there isn't a problem with the antenna but I was concerned about paying $779 for a phone and on top of that waiting in line for 8 hours ..
I actually was using a belkin bluetooth receiver last night and found, if i touch the black strip along the top on my iphone 4, the music stops playing on my bluetooth device immediately.
This is a significant issue, because if I put the device in my pocket I almost always have a portion of my hand covering the top of the device.
Can't believe apple didnt try this stuff out properly first.
I am a Bell Canada Employee, I activated 12 iPhone 4's yesterday AND, in my store which has FULL service on every single phone. I did drop 1 bar while holding it. I ALSO tested the "death grip" on the Blackberry 9700 and got no less of signal. One thing will be, i'm going to test it in a area where service is weak with my 3GS
Nobody should have problems on Bell/Telus shared HSPA network. We get full 3G out at the lake ( Jaffary BC). Not many dead zones anymore with either of those carriers. Rogers out there, hah, forget about it.
Just watch this movie of the death touch from the Netherlands. iPhone 4 on T-Mobile network. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgkowqx0MaI&feature=player_embedded
Thank you Dylan, I did find it when I searched up "Iphone 4 case program"
I ordered the Incase slim hard case. The guys at Future Shop threw in a rubberized Incipio 2mm case, so I figure no sense in getting a rubberized bumper. Also got an invisible shield for the front and back. FANTASTIC product. Easy to install, works excellent.
Back on topic: To clarify, on Rogers in Vancouver BC I've yet to have any reception issues, but like I said, I can voluntarily reproduce reception loss by gapping the antennae.
I live in rural New Zealand, and just upgraded from 3G to iPhone 4, I have no problems, generally reception is not great where I live but have found the iPhone 4 reception to be far better than my old iPhone 3G. I never got 3G connection at home only in town, but now with my iPhone 4 I get 3G connection at home, I am really happy with the upgrade.
Is it possible international iphones shipped with an internal hardware fix?
I have tried 2 different iPhone 4's in Australia now and tried the "death grip" but couldn't even get 1 bar to drop, not 1 problem with the iPhone 4 here in Australia
I have noticed one strange situation. My iPhone 4 is awesome, but when I went to TN, my friends iPhone 4 did not register the same signal strength. His was consistently lower then mine. Could it be a bad batch of phones?
Went back to same poor signal location and repeated tests with Nexus One. Results added as an update.
Nothing here in Canada. Toronto area on Rogers. Can not get it to drop a bar no matter how hard I try.
I bought the Incipio NGP from the TiPb store the week before launch knowing I'm going to want a case before hand anyway.
btw I can now see the case program app in the AU app store (apparently only through the link and not search) where before I would just get a "not found" page
Look no matter what Apple does they will continue to dig their own grave. I mean it does have some great features but white or not the iPhone 4 has major design flaws. Design should never come before function and usability. Apple seems to have forgotten that.
I mean the iPhone 4 held the number one spot in the top ten ranking on pc world. Once Apple gave that press conference they took it down with out explanation. However, http://getyourgadgetsgoing.com/ took a look into it. The results are rather interesting.
I just got my wife the IP4 on Thursday. I have the 3GS and previously she had the 3G. While I agree it can be an issue from using it on my porch (which normally has poor reception) by touching it in the infamous location it hasn't impacted her real world usage thus far. My opinion on the matter is this: while I think Apple was much more descreet in the intenuation location on the phone, I think it was a risk they were willing to take in order to get the best reception and form factor from the device. So while I think it's easier to affect the reception the tradeoff is a sleeker phone with better overall reception. I think the smart phone market is full of tradeoffs and this is just one of them. If you can't live with it find another phone that has the features you want with the issues you are willing to live with. This was just overblown by a desperate media, entitled people that like to complain and the miserable masses that like to see people/companies that have what they don't dragged down to their level. It does always seem to be the usual suspects.
I have my iP4 running for 3 weeks now in northern Germany (just north of Bremen) on t-mobile (Telekom) network. Compared with my former 3G (on iOS 4) and my wife's current 3G (on iOs 4.01) there is a slight trend towards more bars on the iP4 and I didn't loose any calls so far, nor any data connection (3G deliberately turned OFF all the time).
I have to add, that all this antennagate-discussion has influenced the way I hold my phone. Without really noticing, I tend to avoid death-grip now. When applying it on purpose, I can typically erase 1-2 bars, slightly more (but may be not significant) than on the 3G.
Thread cleaned. Please stay on topic, be courteous and respectful, and NO ALL CAPS.
No problems here in Belgium. Amazing phone.
I have used the iPhone 4 in Dubai, U.A.E. and in New Delhi, India without any major problems. Tried the Death Grip in Dubai but only got the iPhone to drop to 2 bars, and that was by holding it with both hands covering as much as the phone as I could, which is not how anyone would ever use it normally. In fact, I am getting a better signal everywhere than my BlackBerry 9700.
I'm in Whistler, BC Canada. I've had no problems so far. I even made a video about it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRFyalnX0_M
Zurich/Switzerland: I bought two iPhone 4 from the Apple Store on Friday, both SIM-free (finally available through Apple, which is great!), and before I gave one to my friend, I was able to test them both:
They both seemed to work just exactly the same. I got 5 bars at my location with Sunrise no matter how I held them, even when gripping the left line. Inside the house where 3g was low, I was at least able to reproduce somewhat of a Near-Death-Grip behaviour with one or two bars less life when trying hard to kill reception, but in a way I don't usually hold my iPhone. Basically, reception on the iP4 seems to be very good, actually feels even a little better than on the 3GS. I've had not one lost call so far (lots of calls, having a flat rate).
The only issue I have is all my friends making jokes about the antenna, as bad media coverage on it was huge...
In West Palm Beach, no antennagate so far for me no matter what I try. Signal is usually excellent around here tho but I'll keep testing.
i got new iphone4 from online store and it is very good and the price is cheaper than other suppliers,just $392 including shipping fee,if you are interested in it ,please feel free to contact me .msn:firstname.lastname@example.com
To all you iPhone 4 owners, the deathgrip exists. All you have to do is hold your finger on the spot for at least 30 seconds before you see bars starting to dissapear. Keep your finger on the spot longer and they all go away.
The sad part is reception is affected immediatly, regardless of how many bars are showing.
Don't lie to yourself. Wait until apple fixes this hardware issue before you buy an iPhone 4.
Melbourne, Australia on Telstra. Generally Telstra coverage is great compared to when I had Optus. Death gripping the device results in dropping a bar which I imagine means dropping a call in weak signal areas. I dropped a call in one such area today, but it's hard to know if this was due to this or not.
No issues on Telus in Atlantic Canada. The first thing both myself/Telus sales guy tried after activating the phone was the death grip/touch just to see what would happen. No matter what we tried, bars stayed at full. Didn't drop at all.
That was with the default preloaded iOS 4.0. Fast forward a day later with the iOS 4.1 update which resized the signal bars and now I am getting random signal strength readings... sometimes it only drops by 1 bar, other times it drops almost down to nothing, other times it's not affected at all.
I think this "update" may have actually made things appear worse. I say "appear" since calls still work fine regardless of how many bars are showing and I've yet to drop a call anywhere I've traveled. I even notice more fluctuations in the signal bars with a full skin case present on the phone. The tallest signal bar keeps "blinking" in/out at random intervals. When I had iOS 4.0 it was at full strength all the time regardless.
D'oh... meant to say iOS 4.01 in my previous post... not 4.1 (that one is still in Beta 3 phase). Sorry for any confusion.
The things i have seen in terms of pc memory is that there are features such as SDRAM, DDR and many others, that must go with the technical specs of the motherboard. If the pc's motherboard is reasonably current and there are no main system issues, improving the memory literally will take under an hour or so. It's among the easiest laptop or computer upgrade methods one can envision. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Seems to have worked ok for me as well. Thanks for the solution. Hopefully Apple will look at this problem as well at some point.
Hi there, simply was aware of your weblog thru Google, and located that it's really informative. I am gonna be careful for brussels. I'll appreciate if you continue this in future. Many folks will likely be benefited from your writing. Cheers!

More than $200,000 was raised and distributed to victims of the September Front Street fire by the Fire Relief Fund Distribution Committee that met for the final time this week.
At the meeting, which was held Tuesday, the group approved the distribution of $13,000. That brings the overall total to $210,000, according to Al Joseph, chairman of the committee.
The Front Street Fire Relief Fund (FSFRF) was created under the auspices of the Georgetown Business Association on September 25, the day of the fire in the 700 block of Front Street that destroyed eight historic buildings.
The Committee included representatives from the Georgetown Business Association, the Georgetown County Chamber of Commerce, United Way, and the City and County of Georgetown.
The monies were distributed by a percentage system to three groups affected by the fire; displaced employees: displaced homeowners, tenants and business owners.
Approximately 93 individuals benefited from the Fund. Meticulous records were maintained and each person that received money was documented and registered in the United Way database. The only funds that did not go directly to the three categories was one payment to the Quality Inn of Georgetown who housed fire victims immediately after the fire, Joseph said.
The Quality Inn donated rooms for a period of time, the FSFRF paid the balance only after the last person found housing and checked out of the hotel.
The incredible outpouring of support was overwhelming to witness. Due to the generosity of this community and beyond, employees who lost their jobs due to the fire were able to stay afloat until they found employment, displaced residents and tenants were able to find new accommodations and several business owners relocated their businesses in record time, said Joseph. While the fire was a devastating event for Georgetown, the community came together and there is no doubt we will come back stronger and better than ever. The FSFRF Distribution Committee is honored to have been a small part of the rebuilding of Georgetown and grateful that we could provide assistance to the victims of the fire.

The Bishop England Lady Bishops and Palmetto Christian Academy Eagles both suffered losses Friday in the opening round of the 3rd annual Carolina Invitational tournament.
Mount Tabor (N.C.) dealt Bishop England (7-1) its first defeat of the season with a 62-49 win on the Lady Bishops' home floor. Palmetto Christian (2-7) fell to Porter-Gaud 53-48 at St. John's High School on John's Island.
Both teams drop into their respective bracket's consolation rounds. Saturday, Palmetto Christian will face James Island Christian in the Harbor Division, while Bishop England play West Mecklenburg (N.C.) in the Palmetto Division.
Mount Tabor 62, Bishop England 49
Mount Tabor turned up its outside shooting in the second half to give the Lady Bishops their most difficult perimeter challenge of the season.
Michele Boykin was hot early with 12 first-half points to help Bishop England to a 27-25 first-half advantage but was limited to just four through the final two quarters.
After failing to connect on a single three-point attempt in the first half, Mount Tabor heated up in the second with seven threes, five in the third quarter. Haleigh Hatfield scored 16 of her game-high 18 points in the second half, while teammate Ebone Stevens knocked down four threes to power the Mount Tabor offense.
Mary Harriet Moore tried to match with 11 of her own but the Bishops couldn't keep pace while Mount Tabor extended its lead into the fourth quarter.
Bishop England's defense has picked teams apart all season but managed a season-low 12 steals Friday against 19 turnovers. Boykin finished with 16 points, six steals and five rebounds. Moore added 15 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks.
Stevens scored 16 for Mount Tabor, while Jordyn Richardson added 12.
Porter-Gaud 53, Palmetto Christian 48
Palmetto Christian's Corey Caulder turned in a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds but the Lady Eagles couldn't match Porter-Gaud for all four quarters.
Porter-Gaud erased a two-point first quarter deficit with a 37-18 run through the second and third quarters. Palmetto Christian tried to climb back, outscoring Porter-Gaud 19-7 in the fourth quarter, but couldn't close the gap in time.
Annie Pascutti scored 15 points on 4-of-5 shooting and pulled down eight rebounds for Palmetto Christian. Parker Emerson added eight points, two steals and two assists.

Google Video started to diminish the importance of the uploading feature by placing the "upload" link at the bottom of the homepage. What's surprising is that uploading videos to Google Video now requires Google Gears so you can upload huge files simultaneously (up to 1 GB) and see the progress.
In January, Google announced that it will discontinue support for uploads to Google Video in a few months. "We've always maintained that Google Video's strength is in the search technology that makes it possible for people to search videos from across the web, regardless of where they may be hosted. And this move will enable us to focus on developing these technologies further to the benefit of searchers worldwide."
Even though Google owns YouTube, a much more popular video hosting service, Google Video attracts a different audience that watches longer videos and doesn't like the extraneous social features from services like YouTube. Google could use the same back-end for both services and promote Google Video as the place where you can watch Charlie Rose's interviews, interviews from the archive of American Television or public domain movies.

Against No. 22 Cochise College (Ariz.), the sophomore scored a game-high 28 points on 11-of-18 shooting and tallied nine rebounds, six assists and three steals in an 85-76 victory.
Despite dropping two of three games last week, the Skipjacks saw Jenkins take his game to another level. In a 105-104 shootout loss to Harford CC (Md.), the sophomore registered a double-double with a game-high 44 points and 10 assists. In another high-scoring affair, the sophomore put up 32 points, seven rebounds and nine assists in a 105-98 loss to Baltimore City CC (Md.). Recording his second double-double of the week, Jenkins totaled 29 points and 10 assists in a 106-94 win over Cecil College (Md.).
Dinkins earned Division III player of the week honors for the second time this season after leading the Norse to victory in back-to-back days.

In his superintendent's report at the Feb. 12 meeting, Mathews said he feels, overall, school officials are doing all that is possible to make sure students have a safe environment.
He said at a January meeting of principals the main topic was each school's safety plan and making sure the plan is being followed.
"Our best security is our eyes and being aware of what is going on in our surroundings," he said.
Mathews said some buzzer locks have been added to interior school doors and locks have been placed on fire doors, which may be used to isolate parts of the buildings.
A manned desk has been placed in the foyer at Gray Elementary to assist in checking visitors due to the openness of the entrance, and another door is being cut in the front office of Wells Elementary to add another layer of security.

The Viper Hornets and the Big Creek Bobcats opened the 8th grade county tournament last week. The game was close in the first half, with the Hornets pulling away for the 48-31 win.
Big Creek controlled the tempo in the early going, while Viper struggled to find their range. The Bobcats finished the period with the 7-4 lead.
Viper began to pick up the pace in the second period, and eventually erased their deficit. Going into the break, the Hornets were on top 15-13.
The two teams went in different directions in the third period. Viper picked up the pace and more than doubled their tally, while Big Creek suffered their lowest output of the game. The Hornets went into the final frame with the 32-17 lead.
The Bobcats;s offense reemerged in the fourth quarter, but it would be too little, too late. The Hornets continued to roll in the period, and went on to the 48-31 win, placing them in the second round.
Dillon Fields finished the game with 23 points for Big Creek, while Logan Hamm matched that total for the Hornets.
Viper (48) Logan Hamm 23, Mikey Bowling 6, Cody Wells 8, Cory Messer 4, Keith Caudill 3, Koby Holbrook 1, Mikey Foster 1 and Mason Rice 2.
Big Creek (31) Dillon Fields 23, Ian Spurgeon 2, Chase Mullins 3, and Dustin Fields 3.

text: Deeply Adored is described as a "deep scarlet [with a Matte finish]." It's a deepened, brown-ish red with a matte finish. It tends to pull less brown, almost pinky-red, when sheered out or used more sparingly. This is a repromote. I noticed that it was harder to build up the color to get the brown tones to come forward in the palette than when applied from the tube–I felt like I had to use noticeably more product for opaque color than the other two or when I've applied this shade in tube-form. It lasted for five and a half hours well, and it did leave a stain behind. It was neither drying nor hydrating. NARS 413 BLKR is darker, browner. OCC Role Play is similar–slightly warmer. NARS Majella is brighter, warmer. MAC Extended Play is slightly browner. Dior Diorling is similar. MAC Such Flare is also similar. See comparison swatches.

Feels like Smith is throwing away this third round with alot of poor decisions.
Feels like Smith is throwing away this third round with alot of poor decisions.
that was an amazing fight holy shit they were throwing bombs all three round!
3 of the first 4 fights have been great hope its a sign of thigns to come because im staying in tonight haha.
What a fight fotn so far. Going to be hard to have a better fight than that.
30-27 for Smith was a little wonky, but a really close, solid brawl.
I had Herman taking the 3rd and 1 or 2...and maybe even both.
Anybody else think the scores have been kinda wonkie so far? I didn't think either fighter would have won it 30-27, but BOTH fighters had a 30-27. I didn't think that Germaine chick won it 30-27 either. Hope we don't get any bad decisions. That cost me money.
Hey FG, you got anything riding on tonight's fights?
Yup, got some real live ones but nothing paying out more than a few hundred. Needed Herman to win, which was nice. Got my underdog money on Chiesa tonight and kinda scared over Danzig/Guillard. Yves/Crux should really dictate my parlays for the night.
Wondering how Means will look against Castillo tonight, since I think he stopped cutting at 160.
I bet Steve Newport has a jetski.
