At Lakeland College, learning chemistry means living chemistry. Once you dive into our interactive program, you'll quickly realize that here, you are one of a kind — not one of many. "I know every one of my students personally," says Brian Frink, Lakeland College's award-winning Lakeland College Professor Chemistry and Physics. "If you want that kind of attention so you can become the best chemist you want to be, then I would say you need to come to Lakeland."
Small Classes, Big Rewards
Yes, when it comes to student-professor interaction, you might say our chemistry is strong. At Lakeland College, you won't sit in a large auditorium with a couple hundred of your peers, robotically taking notes while a professor lectures through a microphone.
Here, with the encouragement of Frink, you'll be involved, engaged and invested. The goal is to help you understand chemistry rather than just memorize chemistry or survive chemistry.
And that's the really great thing about Lakeland's chemistry program. Students are encouraged — no, expected — to apply what they learn in a very real-world way. All of our graduates successfully carry out research projects they design in the first semester of their senior year.
"By the time they're done, they've all had a mini-research project," Frink says proudly. "They can talk to prospective employers about that, or bring it up while interviewing for graduate programs or pre-professional programs. They can discuss the troubles they had and how they solved them. It's everything an employer or graduate school would want in a student."
Chemistry at Lakeland
Through Lakeland's interactive approach, chemistry students are taught all of the fundamentals and core principles so vital to this discipline. Our students:
- Understand and work with the central concepts of chemical reactions, including the thermodynamics, kinetics, syntheses and mechanisms that produce those reactions
- Formulate and solve problems by applying the scientific method, particularly within a laboratory setting
- Effectively communicate scientific knowledge to varied audiences through multiple methods (e.g. writing as if for scientific journals, formal and informal presentations)
- Perform lab practices safely and professionally, employing up-to-date computer and instrumentation technology
- Work effectively as part of a team or on independent projects
Snapshot of Success
Name: Amber Koenig
Hometown: Howards Grove
Title: Ph.D. graduate student, organic chemistry
Graduate School: University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill
Until just a few months before graduating from high school, Amber planned to attend the University of Minnesota – a mammoth school with more than 50,000 undergrad students.
Amber had taken an organic chemistry class at Lakeland during high school, and knew she would be embraced while being challenged if she chose to continue her education here.
"I think choosing Lakeland is probably the best decision I ever made," she says today. "At Lakeland I was far more than just a number. I felt like I was truly part of a family, which was a unique experience that I would not have had anywhere else. Every faculty member, even those outside math and science, genuinely cared and provided so much guidance. From the time I stepped foot on campus, everyone was constantly giving me advice and opportunities to help prepare me for my career goals. Without these amazing opportunities I don't think I would have been nearly as prepared or as successful in graduate school."
Indeed, Amber thrived at Lakeland and continues to soar after graduating with a double major in chemistry and math in 2011. She recently earned a prestigious three-year National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship in support of her doctoral work at North Carolina. The fellowship will provide Koenig with funding to cover tuition and fees as she works toward her doctorate in organic chemistry. She's in the second year of a five-year program, the focus of which is gene expression and how it relates to various forms of cancer.
A typical day for Amber includes 10 hours of research, much of which involves synthesizing molecules and studying reactions in the lab. She's also a teaching assistant responsible for two lab sections each semester, and that experience is valuable, because Amber would like to some day teach at a small college.
For the next few years, however, she'll be focused on her exciting, important research.
"I think it's really cool being a grad student and having the freedom to do my own research," Amber says. "I'm learning things nobody else knows yet. I'm not learning from a textbook; I'm actually creating new knowledge."

Our nationally-recognized Breast Centers at Miami Valley Hospital offers comprehensive services focusing on the best options for breast health.
At the Miami Valley Hospital's Breast Centers, we are focused on breast health and offer a wide range of services and procedures. Our treatment and early-detection tools are backed by our imaging and oncology services.
Mammography is performed in our medical imaging center, and done on an outpatient basis at our many conveniently-located outpatient facilities.
At Miami Valley Hospital, we know early detection is an important tool in fighting breast cancer.
Patients can improve the odds of discovering breast cancer early by using these three early-detection tools:
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer in women. Successful treatment depends on early detection. A mammogram remains the only approved screening procedure for detecting breast cancer.
Women 40 years or older with no symptoms should have an annual screening mammogram. Send a Mammogram Reminder.
A diagnostic mammogram is for women who:
In a diagnostic mammogram, two X-rays are usually taken of each breast, one top view and one side view. Sometimes additional X-rays are needed. A Radiologist views the X-rays before the patient leaves the office.
Miami Valley Hospital and Miami Valley Hospital South has one of the area's most experienced breast centers. We have performed approximately 20,000 mammograms. Miami Valley Hospital is committed to providing the results of a diagnostic mammogram at the time of the exam. A board-certified radiologist is on staff at all times to give an experienced interpretation of the mammogram, and to address the results personally with the patient.
A diagnostic mammogram is covered by most health insurance companies, but patients should call their insurance company prior to scheduling an appointment.
At the Miami Valley Hospital Breast Center, ultrasounds may be performed along with a diagnostic mammogram for follow-up to a known problem. Ultrasounds may be the imaging of choice for patients 29 years of age and younger.
We use ultrasound imaging of the breast to distinguish between solid tumors and fluid-filled cysts. We also use it to evaluate lumps that are hard to see on a mammogram.
Sometimes, ultrasound imaging is used along with other diagnostic procedures such as a biopsy. A biopsy is the removal of tissue with a needle for examination under a microscope to evaluate signs of disease. For your convenience, all of these diagnostic services are housed in one location at the MVH Breast Center and the Breast Center at Miami Valley Hospital South.
Ultrasound is not used for routine breast cancer screenings without a mammogram because it does not consistently detect certain early signs of cancer such as microcalcifications (tiny deposits of calcium in the breast that cannot be felt but can be seen on a conventional mammogram). A cluster of microcalcifications may indicate that cancer is present.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the breast is a useful diagnostic tool for:
MRI can also be used to screen certain women, such as young women at high risk for breast cancer. As with a breast ultrasound, MRI is a supplement to mammography and not a replacement for it.
Breast MRI should be taken of both breasts except for women with a history of mastectomy, or when the MRI is performed specifically to further evaluate or follow findings in one breast. MRI findings should be correlated with clinical history, physical examination results, and the results of mammography, and any other prior breast imaging. Your doctor can review these pictures on a monitor, film or a CD.
Most women who have an abnormal exam do not have breast cancer, but have a benign breast problem. A breast biopsy is a procedure in which part or all of a suspicious breast growth is removed and examined.
Image-Guided Biopsy – At the Miami Valley Hospital Breast Center, if a breast imaging exam shows an area that needs to be biopsied, an image-guided needle biopsy is performed. During the image-guided biopsy, a needle is used to obtain a sample of the area in question. The incision is about a half-inch long. The tissue obtained with the needle is sent to the Pathology Lab for analysis.
Open Surgical Biopsy – An open surgical biopsy is usually done as a same-day procedure in an operating room at Miami Valley Hospital. The tissue of the area in question, as well as some adjacent tissue, is surgically removed. The incision is usually a little larger. The tissue obtained is sent to the pathology lab for analysis.
In both biopsies, the results are available to your physician usually within 72 hours.
PET/CT is a sophisticated test that allows physicians to pinpoint the location of cancer within the body. PET scans are useful for evaluating individuals after breast cancer been diagnosed.
PET/CT is used in different ways:
Digital mammography is the latest technology in advanced breast imaging. It is a powerful tool for accurate and early detection. Our digital mammography gives a more accurate view of dense breasts and of the breasts in the women in the peri-menopausal population.
The Digital Mammographic Imaging Screening Trial (DMIST), coordinated by the American College of Radiology Imaging Network, compared digital versus film mammography.
The findings showed:
The test can be performed at the following locations:

With its dynamic skyline of dramatic contrasts, the British capital is a city close to MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS driver Lewis Hamilton's heart. Lewis is joined by David Coulthard as they explore some of his favorite haunts.
1. Small plates
In the heart of buzzing Soho, Polpetto is among London's hottest restaurants. Lewis and David try their hand at cooking the Italian-inspired small plates, such as Westcombe ricotta and egg yolk ravioli, for which the venue is known, as well as chatting to head chef, Florence Knight, the woman responsible for its remarkable success.
"It's a really popular restaurant, but it's also really down to earth," says Lewis. "I come here for a chilled night out and great food."
2. Fresh perspective
South of the river, Lewis takes David to the top of the Shard, the EU's tallest skyscraper and London's iconic new landmark. It's impressive enough from ground level, but the views from the level 69 triple-level gallery and open-air sky deck are unsurpassed.
"From up here, you can see the landmarks of the city from a totally different perspective," says Lewis.
3. Modern tailoring
Outfitted in the new BOSS for Mercedes-Benz collection (available from July in store and from August online), Lewis takes a trip to the HUGO BOSS store on trendy Sloane Square. Lewis changes into a custom-made suit from BOSS Made to Measure, which he wears for a Q&A event with his fans and selected guests later in the evening.
"A suit from BOSS Made to Measure is just what I need for an evening event away from the race track," says Lewis. "I love the custom cut and their thoughtful, personal service."
Stay tuned for our next stop, when we'll explore the dizzying heights of Japan's sci-fi city, Tokyo.

Dallas: Season Seven Highlights.
Thursday, November 22 2012
Breaking up was hard to do. (Warner Brothers)
Rising tension.
By the time the seventh season of "Dallas" premiered on September 30, 1981, Larry Hagman - and his character of ruthless JR Ewing - was firmly established as the show's star, despite the original intention of keeping the show focused around Bobby and Pam's relationship. That didn't stop tensions from rising behind the scenes between Hagman and some of the producers. On screen during season seven, viewers got a bit of eye candy with the addition of "The Blue Lagoon's" Christopher Atkins as Sue Ellen's boy toy Peter and Priscilla Presley's turn as Jenna Wade.
The Road Back.
Remember the fire that burned Southfork to the ground? Bobby was able to save everyone who was trapped – JR, Ray, Sue Ellen and baby John Ross. There was still no love lost between JR and Ray, who started the fire with their argument about the crash. JR came up a little short in the gratitude department toward Bobby as well.
The Long Goodbye.
Sue Ellen kicked JR out of the bedroom while Bobby tried to convince Pam to come back, all while rebuilding from the fire. Elsewhere, Mickey regained consciousness and told Lucy he wanted to marry her. Katherine was mad when she heard about Bobby and Pam's reunion.
The Letter.
With JR's help, Katherine tricked Pam into signing a letter that made it look like Pam had told her lawyer she would be better off without Bobby. John Ross needed counseling, and the advice was for Sue Ellen and JR to end their feud. He recommended a day camp for John Ross, where they met college student Peter Richards.
My Brother's Keeper.
Bobby and Pam were devastated by their divorce, but they were the only ones. JR encouraged Bobby to take some time off work to lick his wounds, then sabotaged the Canadian deal. Afton, Cliff and Mark took Pam out for some fun, which was spoiled by Bobby, JR and their dates. Sue Ellen chatted up Peter while John Ross had fun at camp. Mickey would rather die than live on life support.
The Quality of Mercy.
Pam moved back in with Cliff, who recruited a woman named Sly to spy on JR. Mickey slipped into a coma, and later Ray and Aunt Lil were found in his room with the respirator unplugged. JR told Sue Ellen that Peter was into her, and Mark proposed to a just-divorced Pam. A bummed out Bobby gave Katherine a shot, then ran into Holly Harwood.
Check and Mate.
Ray was arrested for unplugging Mickey, and Lucy accused him of murder. Pam was mad at Cliff when she learned he stole a deal from JR. Bobby told Holly it wasn't going to happen and she left him alone. Sue Ellen invited Peter to a party at the ranch. Later, Punk read a letter to Bobby and JR from Jock that informed them the contest he had set in motion for the boys was to make them respect one another as businessmen. Finally, Bobby's share of the profit on the Canadian deal came in and changed the outcome of the contest.
Ray's Trial.
Things got hairy when Bobby testified for the defense and Lucy for the prosecution. Bobby also ran into former fiancée Jenna, now a waitress, and stood Katherine up. Ray was charged with felony murder and the prosecution asked for the death penalty.
The Oil Baron's Ball.
Bobby took Jenna with him to the annual ball, Sue Ellen talked Peter into taking Lucy and Pam convinced Katherine to appear. JR loved seeing Bobby with Jenna while Cliff told Katherine that Jenna's daughter Charlie just might be Bobby's. Pam and Jenna fought and Cliff was crowned Oil Baron of the Year. He threatened JR he would tell the truth to everyone about Jock and Digger.
Morning After.
Cliff made good on his threat to JR and announced the formation of the Willard Barnes Foundation, which Jock had stolen from Digger, and a Texas-sized brawl broke out. Jenna and Bobby were in love again, but Katherine confessed her love anyway and asked him why it couldn't be her. Mark pushed marriage on Pam but she was not interested. Peter told Sue Ellen nothing would happen between them.
The Buck Stops Here.
Gratuitous mechanical bull riding dominated this episode as Pam and Jenna prepared to square off in a charity rodeo. Pam, mad at herself for mucking up her relationship with Mark, told Bobby Jenna wasn't good for him then proceeded to beat her in the match. JR enlisted the help of a detective to find the spy in his organization.
To Catch a Sly.
JR uncovered Sly the spy as Cliff pressed her for more information, so JR used her to feed Cliff bad info. Pam told Christopher she wished she and Bobby were together but got closer with Mark anyway. Sue Ellen tried to break things off with young Peter.
Barbecue Four.
Another year, another Southfork 'cue. Katherine wouldn't give up on Bobby. She began to dig into who the father of Jenna's baby was and found out it was Bobby. Meanwhile, Sly learned Cliff had been lying to her about getting her brother out of jail. Ellie returned with Clayton. Lucy brought Peter to the barbecue where he kissed Sue Ellen.
Past Imperfect.
JR was spitting mad about Ellie and Clayton's engagement and decided to dig up some dirt on Clayton, which he of course found. John Ross missed Peter but Sue Ellen dumped him after he told her he found them an apartment to share. Jenna refused Bobby's offer to buy her a boutique and they fought over it. A persistent Katherine stayed in Rome to find out more information about Jenna's past with Renaldo.
Peter's Principles.
John Ross kept asking about Peter and Sue Ellen found out he moved out of the dorm. When she found him he refused to speak with her. JR told everyone what he found out about Clayton – he had a sister named Jessica. Ellie worried Clayton would not be able to handle the Ewings. Afton walked in on Cliff with another woman, Marilee, and Pam confronted him when she found out. Jenna prepared to launch her boutique.
Offshore Crude.
Lucy was loving her some Peter but Sue Ellen was not happy about it. Later, she tried to break up with him again but no luck, despite having reminded JR about their open marriage. Katherine kept investigating Renaldo in Rome but Pam refused to speak about Charlie's paternity with her. Cliff asked Afton to forgive him, then asked Marilee to invest with him.
Blue Lagoon boy toy. (Warner Brothers)
Some Do… Some Don't.
Sue Ellen told JR another child was not happening. Later, she got mistaken for Peter's mom – ouch. Ray eased Clayton's apprehensions about moving to Southfork so he and Ellie moved closer to setting a date until Ellie called it off.
Eye Of The Beholder.
Like a bulldog with a bone, Katherine hired a detective to find Renaldo. Sue Ellen encouraged Clayton to not give up on Ellie, but she couldn't get over Jock. Later, JR pulled a gun on a drunken Clayton.
Twelve Mile Limit.
Clayton and Ellie's wedding was back on, but an old medical problem of hers returned so Clayton turned to Ray. JR used Sly to sell geological reports to Cliff. He was then pressured to hand them over to Marilee before she would invest. Mark asked Pam to marry him and Katherine pressured her to accept.
Where Is Poppa?
Peter demanded a commitment from Sue Ellen. She assured him she was not sleeping with JR. Later she was in an accident and hospitalized. JR and Pater both learned she had a miscarriage because of it. Mark was anxious for an answer from Pam. Bobby bought Charlie a horse as Katherine finally tracked down Renaldo. Bobby tried to get Clayton to become a partner in Ewing Oil.
When the Bough Breaks.
Bobby again asked Jenna who Charlie's father was while Katherine spoke with Renaldo. The whole family worried about Sue Ellen, who wondered who the father of the baby was - Peter or JR? Cliff wanted to team up with Pam on an offshore drilling deal.
True Confessions.
Jenna told Bobby that Charlie loved him, when Renaldo interrupted their lunch and claimed he was the father but had a birth certificate that listed Bobby. Later, Katherine paid Renaldo while Jenna tried to explain to Bobby why she listed him as Charlie's dad. Ray discovered that JR had been blackmailing Randolph.
And The Winner Is…
JR was bummed to hear about Bobby and Jenna's problems and inserted himself in the situation. Later he overheard Sue Ellen and Peter talking about her past. Bobby spent some time with Pam and Christopher, which angered Katherine. JR used Marilee to set up Cliff on the offshore deal.
Fools Rush In.
Ellie thrilled Clayton by setting a date, then asked his sister Jessica to stay at Southfork for the big day. Charlie asked Bobby why he wasn't seeing her mommy anymore. He tried to make it work with Jenna, but they broke up again. JR found out what Katherine did and blackmailed her into making sure Pam married Mark. But Pam told her and Sue Ellen she was going to tell him no.
The Unexpected.
JR pushed for a double wedding with Ellie and Clayton and Bobby and Jenna. JR also tricked Cliff into signing loan papers for $227 million. JR also plotted to frame Peter and teach Sue Ellen a lesson. Bobby admitted to Jenna that Pam had a hold on him. Pam decided to marry Mark, which devastated Bobby. Jessica descended on Southfork with a surprise for JR.
Strange Alliance.
Katherine aimed to ensure Pam went through with marrying Mark. Lucy thought something was wrong with Peter since he would not date her and was determined to find out what it was. JR insisted Peter kept working with John Ross while he had a detective do some work on him. Jenna told Bobby she wouldn't wait forever. Jessica told dicey stories about Clayton's past in front of Ellie, much to JR's delight.
Blow Up.
Clayton asked Ray to be his best man. Sensing an ally, JR and Jessica started to conspire to stop the wedding and Donna got suspicious about it. Drunk, Luke confronted Sue Ellen and Peter about their relationship. Later, JR tried to get Sue Ellen back in his bedroom.
Turning Point.
Clayton warned Jessica that JR could be dangerous and later JR overheard them discussing a secret. Pam was bummed Mark wanted a big wedding and Sue Ellen wondered why Pam even changed her mind and decided to marry Mark anyway. Later, Jenna told Pam that Bobby hadn't asked her to marry him. Lucy apologized to Peter. Katherine and JR had a big blowout and she vowed to kill him.
Love Stories.
Katherine told Bobby that JR was blackmailing her and he had it out with JR. JR pressured Bobby to just marry Jenna already. Bobby asked Jenna, and she accepted. Relentless, JR kept digging into the death of Clayton's past wife. Sue Ellen posted Peter's bail after he was arrested. Mark and Pam learned Mark was dying. Cliff was financially ruined after failing to repay his loan.
Hush Hush, Sweet Jessie.
Mark died. Bobby and Jenna kept their wedding plans secret out of respect but Jenna fretted Bobby would change his mind with Mark out of the picture. Pam and Bobby reminisced about their years together and Pam learned about the letter Katherine wrote which led to their divorce. She let Katherine have it. Pam also got a letter from Mark that revealed the true cause of the plane crash. Jessica disappeared with Ellie.
End Game.
In the finale the search for Ellie and Jessica ramped up while Clayton and JR fought about Jessica's instability. Bobby called JR out on working with Jessica to stop the wedding. Ellie was saved and married Clayton. Pam heard Jenna and Bobby would be married and left Dallas without telling anyone where she was going. Bobby and Katherine had a heated exchange and later gunshots were fired!

Poll: Grade the Quakes win vs. the LA Galaxy
Chris Wondolowski Smiling and Greeting Fans vs. LA Galaxy 082110
The San Jose Earthquakes fought hard in a 1-0 win over visiting Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday at Buck Shaw Stadium, earning California Clásico bragging rights in the process.
Chris Wondolowski scored the game winner in the 4th minute off a Bobby Convey cross. With the help of some stingy goalkeeping by Jon Busch - he had two stellar saves to deny Landon Donovan - the Quakes held on for Win Pin 5.0.
After a pair of home victories and the signing of designated player Geovanni, things are looking up for the Western Conference contenders. Vote now to decide what grade the Quakes deserve!

I have about 7 pairs of Grace shoes in different colors. I am a nurse practitioner on my feet all day. The arch support is a godsend. I wear a sz 12 in these and appreciate the color choices. Rabotins are the best shoes made in terms of fit and quality!
My most comfy shoes
I like this shoes so much. Very comfortable just like sleepers . Usually I buy 7.5. This shoes I bought size 37 and it fits perfect. color is just like on the picture.
Best shoe I've ever worn!
These are, without any doubt, the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Before these shoes, I walked in the door at home at took my shoes off. Now I prefer to have my shoes on at all times. I wear a size 13, so these are especially wonderful for me. Have you seen the average shoe that you can get in a 13? They're awful! Thanks Thierry Rabotin for making these shoes and thanks you Arthur Beren for carrying them!
Measurements & Ordering The Right Size
Shoe sizes vary by style—they run long, short, wide or narrow. We test fit size 8.5 shoes, and sometimes recommend ordering a larger or smaller size. Look for this information on any product page. (e.g. Fit: Runs long, buy a half size down.)
If one foot is larger than the other, always fit the larger foot.
The letters "4A", "3A", "2A", "B", or "C" below the sizes refer to the width of the shoe. The following chart explains the various widths Arthur Beren carries:
|4A or SS
|= Extra Narrow
|2A or N
|= Narrow
|B or M
|= Medium (Standard)
|C or W
|= Wide
Thierry Rabotin
Why can't all shoes be as comfortable as house slippers? That's the question Thierry Rabotin asked himself when he was growing up in a small village in west-central France. He became a shoe designer in 1978 to answer his own question and to create shoes as blissfully comfortable as going barefoot.
Today, the Thierry Rabotin factory in Italy preserves age-old artisan shoemaking skills while maintaining the highest technical standards. Soft, premium-quality leathers are carefully inspected and matched, and then are joined to the last using a sacchetto construction that ensures a flexible, lightweight, and glovelike fit. Poron memory foam in the insole provides resilient padding; many styles have built-in arch support.
Are Thierry Rabotin shoes as comfortable as walking barefoot? Just ask the many passionate customers in our Union Square Store. They'll tell you that once you try on a pair of Thierry Rabotin shoes, even barefoot doesn't feel right!

- Constraint-based computational semantics : a comparison between LTAG and LRS (2006)
- This paper compares two approaches to computational semantics, namely semantic unification in Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammars (LTAG) and Lexical Resource Semantics (LRS) in HPSG. There are striking similarities between the frameworks that make them comparable in many respects. We will exemplify the differences and similarities by looking at several phenomena. We will show, first of all, that many intuitions about the mechanisms of semantic computations can be implemented in similar ways in both frameworks. Secondly, we will identify some aspects in which the frameworks intrinsically differ due to more general differences between the approaches to formal grammar adopted by LTAG and HPSG.
- Feature logic-based semantic composition : a comparison between LRS and LTAG (2007)
- In this paper we will explore the similarities and differences between two feature logic-based approaches to the composition of semantic representations. The first approach is formulated for Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammar (LTAG, Joshi and Schabes 1997), the second is Lexical Ressource Semantics (LRS, Richter and Sailer 2004) and was first defined in Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. The two frameworks have several common characteristics that make them easy to compare: 1 They use languages of two sorted type theory for semantic representations. 2. They allow underspecification. LTAG uses scope constraints while LRS provides component-of contraints. 3 They use feature logics for computing semantic representations. 4. they are designed for computational applications. By comparing the two frameworks we will also point outsome characteristics and advantages of feature logic-based semantic computation in genereal.

DC touts diversity, quirkinessWritten by Jim Beard | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The time is swiftly approaching when comic shop owners must decide what to buy — and how many — from among DC Comics' line-wide September relaunch. You can help your favorite shop by letting them know which titles you'd like to sample, for most factor in their customers' feedback when making those oh-so-important monthly inventory purchases. Some of DC's new books are no-brainers, standard superhero fare that pleases across the reader spectrum, while others are, let's say, more eclectic. Here are a few examples of some of the DC square pegs that may fail to find their place on the board.
Batwing — Basically, a black Batman in Africa. Culled from a one-page appearance in a 1970s issue, this hero's going to have to fight an uphill battle to win his spurs. Minority headliner characters rarely find their niche in today's market, and the exotic locale of the Dark Continent might look good on paper but might not speak to Westerners. It's superhero hijinks with a good chance of pretension.
Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. — A monstrous protagonist, who works for a strange government agency, investigates and battles weird forces. Sounds like Hellboy, doesn't it? Pretty sure it does to DC, too, but that's not stopping the publisher from attempting to carve out its own version of the famous monster investigator. There are several horror books on DC's new schedule, but this one seems to be treading more familiar ground.
Demon Knights — A medieval romp with eldritch energies to spare. DC has had a tiny stable of medieval-era characters that stretches back to the 1950s — when better to throw them against the wall to see if they'll stick? Without a doubt, this book has to be one of the true long-shots of the relaunch, but fortunately it has British writer Paul Cornell holding the reins and guiding its magicked suits of armor across the thorny fields.
Blackhawks — An international team of soldiers use cutting-edge weapons to wage war against terrorists — in other words, DC's version of G.I. Joe. The original Blackhawks were creatures of the 1940s and '50s, but this new group will probably be even more diverse in terms of race, gender and creed, along with what sounds like "home-grown" terrorist opponents. That's so much "safer" than the pesky problem of foreign extremists, of course.
All-Star Western — Horror, War, Knights and now … a Western. Yep, DC's pulled out all stops to insure its new line has a bit of everything that once made up the comics industry's bread-and-butter. This one's got Jonah Hex in the saddle and a Gotham City milieu; hey, maybe that could actually work …

Milwaukee, WI (Sports Network) - Alfonso Soriano, Bryan LaHair and Jeff Baker each homered as the Chicago Cubs hammered the Milwaukee Brewers, 10-0, in the opener of a three-game set at Miller Park.
Ryan Dempster (1-3), who took a perfect game into the sixth, got his first win after scattering three hits over seven shutout innings. Dempster struck out three and walked none, and moved to 16-6 lifetime against the Brewers.
"(Demptser) did a great job obviously with five perfect innings," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "To finally schneid was nice, he's pitched pretty well all year. For some reason at Miller Park against the Brewers he does the job."
David DeJesus drove in one and scored three times while Steve Clevenger and Darwin Barney each had an RBI for the Cubs, who put the brakes on a four-game skid.
Cody Ransom had two hits, while Ryan Braun and Carlos Gomez each had a hit for the Brewers, who lost for the third time in four games.
Yovani Gallardo (4-5) was pegged with the loss after giving up five runs on six hits with 10 strikeouts over six frames.
"The numbers don't really match out, (Gallardo) really threw the ball well. He had great stuff," Brewers manager Rob Roenicke said. "Dempster was good, he only have up three hits. He's got a two-something ERA which means you're pretty good."
The Cubs went up 3-0 in the first when Soriano smacked a three-run into the right-field stands. Starlin Castro singled and DeJesus walked to set the table for Soriano, who crushed his ninth homer of the year.
"It was a strange night, definitely one of those weird days," Gallardo said. "It's not easy for the guys being down three runs in the first inning. Dempster kept the guys off balance and made his pitches. I felt good, and I felt better as the game went on."
LaHair's leadoff homer in the fourth put Chicago up 4-0. It was his 11th of the year.
The Cubs went up 5-0 in the fifth after a perfectly executed suicide squeeze by DeJesus. With Tony Campana on third, DeJesus pushed a bunt up the first base line to easily score Campana.
A pair of RBI singles from Clevenger and Barney and a walk to Adrian Cardenas with the bases loaded in the eighth made it 8-0 Cubs.
Baker's two-run blast in the ninth capped the scoring.
"It was nice for us to score all those runs like that, especially coming off what happened in San Francisco," Dempster said. "It feels nice. It has been a while for me, but it was awful big for our team after a long losing streak on the road. I was thinking about a perfect game, but the win was the second best thing."
Chicago snapped an 11-game road losing streak...Dempster snapped an 18-start winless streak...Soriano has at least one homer in each of his last eight series...The Brewers have just one error in their past 14 games...Milwaukee fell to 3-15 this season when it fails to hit a home run...Brewers used a new lineup for the 19th consecutive game.

For the second time in less than a week, the Chattanooga Mocs took on a ranked team away from home. After just missing a big win against No. 12 Purdue on Sunday, the UTC wrestlers were not about to let one get away at No. 15 Stanford tonight.
Fuel by one of the biggest individual wins in school history, Chattanooga (6-4, 1-0 SoCon) posted a 25-13 victory over the Cardinal (8-3, 1-0 Pac-12) in Palo Alto, Calif. Junior Nick Soto looked like his old self with a dominating 15-8 win over Ryan Mango, the No. 1 ranked 133-pounder in the nation.
"We had one of these coming," stated head coach Heath Eslinger. "I am not any more proud of our team tonight than I was on Sunday, it just feels better getting the win. We competed hard then and we competed hard tonight. Tonight, things went our way and we were able to get over the hump."
Soto was a top-10 wrestler at 133 as a freshman, but dropped down to 125 last season. He has been out of the national spotlight since halfway through his sophomore year, but made a statement with tonight's win.
Chattanooga was down 4-0 after giving up a major decision at 133. Soto came out quickly in the opening three minutes, scoring two takedowns while taking a 5-3 lead. He went up 10-3 after another takedown and back points in the second.
He nearly gave it all away in the third, getting caught on his back and barely avoiding the pin. However, he escaped and scored another takedown before the final horn. This was the third win over a top-5 opponent in his career, but the first since his freshman season.
"When he gets on guys early, he is dangerous," stated Eslinger. "He was huge for us tonight. It set the tone for the rest of the match."
That win ignited the Mocs, who went on to take the next six matches. Freshman Michael Pongracz moved up to 141 first his first dual action. He scored a 9-0 major decision over Tommy Pawleski, who was competing up two weight classes, to give Chattanooga a 7-4 lead.
Stanford could only score on escapes and penalties in the next three matches. Junior Shaun Greevy defeated Matt Garelli 7-1 at 149, followed by senior Alex Hudson's 8-1 decision over Brett Baumbach at 157.
Junior Corey Mock, ranked No. 4 at 165, put his 12-0 record up against No. 14 Jim Wilson and his 15-0 mark. Mock battled an illness throughout the day, but was able to avoid getting taken down for the 12th time this season.
He was up 3-1 late in the third when he was penalized for stalling. Wilson nearly scored a takedown at the buzzer, but Mock fought him off for the 4-2 win. It was Mock's fourth win over a ranked opponent this season.
Rewind back to Sunday when the Mocs were tied with Purdue 15-15 with just the 174 match left to decide the outcome. Junior Levi Clemons gave up a first period pin and the Boilermakers came away with a 21-15 win.
Tonight, Clemons continued his tear with his second-straight fall since that loss, making the match dormie with a 22-4 lead. Clemons had just given up back points to Kyle Meyer and was trailing 6-0 in the second period when he escaped and went on the offensive. He quickly put Meyer on his back and scored his third pin of the season.
Sophomore John Lampe secured the win with his 7-6 decision over Thomas Kimbrell at 184. Stanford won the last two bouts for the final 25-13 score.
This was the second time in the last three seasons Chattanooga has posted a win over a ranked Stanford team. The Mocs defeated No. 12 Stanford 22-15 in Maclellan Gym on Nov. 20, 2011. This was the biggest road wins for the Mocs since a 28-13 win at No. 13 Ohio State on Dec. 17, 2006.
Chattanooga will now head Reno, Nev., for Sunday's Reno Tournament of Champions. This is the final action before the holiday break. UTC will again host the 2014 Southern Scuffle, presented by Defense Soap and Flips Wrestling, on Jan. 1-2. Tickets are on sale now on GoMocs.com.

Phoenix Suns
Good for NBA but bad for Suns fans: Mike D'Antoni will win with Lakers
It was easy to get over Steve Nash deserting Phoenix for Hollywood.
He is an aging point guard whose game is declining (even if only a little), so if the two-time MVP wanted to hitch his wagon to the horse that is Kobe Bryant in search of a championship, that's his business.
But seeing Mike D'Antoni follow Nash to L.A. is different. It's brutal. It's unacceptable.
D'Antoni, who you may recall, presided over one of the most successful runs in Suns history. The team went 232-96 in the regular season under his stewardship, which averages out to a record of 58-24. Phoenix won 26 playoff games with D'Antoni at the helm, and many of us felt this was the coach who would bring the Valley its first NBA title.
But alas, he couldn't.
Some will point to Joe Johnson's broken face in 2005, an injury-riddled team in 2006 or the suspensions in 2007 as reasons for why the Suns fell short. Others believe D'Antoni's stubbornness with regards to defense and playing his bench led to the team's demise.
All those people are right -- to an extent.
There is one more anti-D'Antoni argument, and it's the one that scares me the most right now with regards to the coach leading the Lakers:
His system cannot win a championship in the NBA.
We should hope those people are wrong, and that's what makes this whole situation so damn difficult to stomach.
There is little doubt D'Antoni will be a better coach in Los Angeles than he ever was in Phoenix or New York, where he failed due to a variety of different factors, many of which were out of his control. Though he's stubborn, it's tough to believe he hasn't learned from the past with regards to using his bench. Besides, it's not likely people will be clamoring for the coach to give the likes of Steve Blake, Antawn Jamison and Devin Ebanks significant minutes.
And D'Antoni's teams, while not playing anything that could be considered "good" defense, were not really as bad as you remember.
His Suns teams did give up a ton of points from 2004-2008. However, their point differential over the four years was +7.1, +5.6, +7.3 and +5.1.
Phoenix won, won a lot, and won comfortably. Sure, the other team may have lit up the scoreboard, but is there any difference between a 110-103 win and a 90-83 victory?
Opponents scored a lot of points not because the Suns were a sieve on that side of the court, but rather because of the sheer number of possessions they had. Phoenix's defensive rating was no lower than 17th in the NBA under D'Antoni, and was as high as 13th one season.
And this was with Steve Nash, who couldn't guard a chair, at point guard, and Amare Stoudemire, who refused to guard anyone, guarding the bucket.
Now he'll have Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest (I refuse to call him the other name) and Dwight Howard. And Steve Nash and Pau Gasol.
Plenty of experts at ESPN, along with many here at Arizona Sports 620, pegged the Lakers as a championship team before the season began, and that was with Mike Brown running the show.
Now they have a better coach who has experienced real success with a roster far less talented than the one he just inherited.
The Lakers were going to win games regardless of whether they made a coaching change or not, though now you have to believe their chances of hoisting the Larry O'Brien Trophy at the end of the season have improved.
D'Antoni's brand of basketball is both effective and entertaining, and there is little doubt other teams would be quick to emulate it if they felt it could bring them a championship.
As basketball fans, we should all be rooting for the coach to succeed and bring home the hardware.
As Suns fans, though, nothing would be more painful than seeing him bring it to Los Angeles.

In January, the New York Times published a controversial and troubling report about working conditions in Chinese FoxConn factories where Apple products are manufactured.
Beneath the smooth exterior of the iPads and iPhones that have so captured the American imagination was a supply chain riddled with workers' rights issues.
Apple CEO Tim Cook responded by saying that Apple cares "about every worker in our worldwide supply chain. Any accident is deeply troubling, and any issue with working conditions is cause for concern."
To prove just how serious the tech giant was about their concerns, Apple partnered with the Fair Labor Association, launching an audit of their supply chain.
While early murmurs from the FLA pointed to better-than-average condition at FoxConn plants, now the FLA is reporting that they have found "tons of issues" at Apple suppliers. Some critics have voiced concerns about the FLA, claiming they were "whitewashing" their reports.
Soon we'll all have a bigger window into those operations. Apple has granted ABC full, unfettered access to its Chinese suppliers.
"For years, Apple and Foxconn have been synonymous with monster profits and total secrecy," said ABC's Bill Weir, "so it was fascinating to wander the iphone and iPod production lines, meet the people who build them and see how they live. Our cameras were rolling when thousands of hopeful applicants rushed the Foxconn gates and I spoke with dozens of line workers and a top executive about everything from hours and pay to the controversies over suicides at the plant and the infamous "jumper nets" that line the factories in Shenzhen. After this trip, I'll never see an Apple product the same way again."
The real twist here, however, is Apple's relationship with ABC.
ABC's parent company is Disney Corporation. The top dog at Disney, CEO Bob Iger, sits on Apple's Board.
Meanwhile, the late Steve Jobs (and now his family) are the biggest individual shareholders of Disney.
Does this create a conflict of interest and possibly call into question ABC's reporting on the Apple supply chain?
As with the FLA controversy, what this says to me is that Apple needs to be even more transparent. Dubious partnerships and exclusive news access are hardly the way to repair a public image. Apple should have opened up its supply chain to ABC and one of the other major networks, as well as other news media organizations.
Corroborating reports would make the entire investigation more believable, whatever portrait of Apple and FoxConn it ends up painting.
Maybe some enterprising young journalists can do some undercover work after the ABC report and see how much of it lines up with reality.
I hope conditions at Apple's FoxConn factories turn out to be better than expected, but a varnished report from ABC will rightfully raise eyebrows.
Update 1: I made a couple fixes in this post. Fist I'd spelled Disney CEO Bob Iger's name incorrectly. This is because I'd read it spelled incorrectly on the 9to5Mac.com post I was riffing off of. I then noticed I'd left out several links that didn't make it into the final draft – including one of two links to 9to5Mac. In any case, I've added several links and fixed the spelling error. Sorry for the slip up here.
Update 2: Gizmodo calls my post "quite the conspiracy theory" but I think they're missing the point (which is probably my fault, since this post is apparently not my finest moment of communication.) In any case, I don't necessarily think that anything diabolical is going on between ABC and Apple, but the ties between the two companies via Disney certainly should make us wonder. It's not as though we're talking about the New World Order here – we're talking about two very big corporations who have direct links to one another. Is it that strange or that much of a 'conspiracy theory' to wonder if a company owned by Disney will do a great investigation of a company when Disney's CEO sits on that company's board? Not to mention the long and profitable relationship between Jobs and Disney?
I don't think we even have to talk about conspiracy here – institutional realities can be at work without any actual pressure from leadership. All you need is a little game theory.

ABC's report goes live this Tuesday, Feb. 21st on ABC Nightline.

You suggested there is a way to change the Alert volume, but I don't see any way to do that.
The poking holes in the speaker solution is intriguing. I hardly ever hear my phone ring when it's in my pocket, even though I re-mixed a ring tone to be louder.
Voodoo your iPhone to Increase Speaker Volume?
Voodoo doll courtesy ^Vanessa^
One of the biggest gripes about the iPhone is that its speaker isn't nearly loud enough for many people. This problem was exacerbated early on because the iPhone's alerts were originally too quiet to begin with. Apple themselves have fixed this problem by allowing you to change, say, the SMS alert volume. There's also rumblings that Apple has quietly introduced louder speaker on iPhones manufactured more recently.
But if you're one of those crazy early adopters, not only are you stuck with less money in your pocket (because of that unprecedented price drop), you're also stuck with a quiet iPhone in your pocket as well. What to do? well, according to skorpiond at modmyifone,
I grabbed a needle and sticked it into every single tiny hold on the bottom left corner of the iPhone. I think it was dirty in there or something because now this **** is EXACTLY how I wanted it since day one... LOUD!!! I really hope I didn't mess up the speaker though.
...So basically you engage in some warranty-voiding dangerfun with your iPhone -- presumably popping the protective cover over the speaker. Anybody brave enough to try this? We at Phone different already absolutely destroyed our first iPhone in the Video takeapart, so we're a little gunshy about voiding more warranties.

Voodoo your iPhone to Increase Speaker Volume?
You suggested there is a way to change the Alert volume, but I don't see any way to do that.
I have 1.1.4 tryed the patch in the installer,it do not raise the volume much,but poking the holes worked very well,lol
this totally works
I used the sharp tip of a drawing compass (thought I might puncture too far with a thinner needle)
the bottom loudspeaker holes, eventually, will get filled with pocket lint, or dust, or whatever. So, part of it is just cleaning them out.
Also tried on the earpiece.
Results : earpiece 20-30% louder, speakerphone like 300% louder. This saved me from buying a replacement phone!

Millions of dollars are at stake in South Carolina as a network television show decides whether to return to Charleston.
Motion Picture Incentive Act
Increase in film incentives for productions that use:S.C. vendors: 15 to 30 percent rebateS.C. wages: 15 to 25 percent rebate
CBS this week picked up the legal drama "Reckless" for its fall lineup after the show's pilot was shot in March in the Holy City.
By the numbers
Between 2007 and 2011, productions in South Carolina created:1,600Full-time jobs$86.9MSales for local businesses$48.5MSpending on wages for state residents$142M Total economic impactSource: AECOM Economics' 2011 report ordered by the S.C. Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism
The news was reported over the weekend in Variety, TV Guide and other industry outlets.
Despite the original setting in the Lowcountry, there's been no indication yet whether the network will commit to Charleston.
"It would be a natural choice for them," said Gavin McCulley, the S.C. Film Council's chairman. "But I've no way confirmed that with anyone, and they haven't necessarily made a final decision."
The production spent a few weeks in the Lowcountry filming in spots including Shem Creek, Concord Street and The Battery.
Mayor Joe Riley said the show is a positive for the city. "Filming has a far more substantive impact than one would think," he said. CBS Network Television Studios are tight-lipped about the show's ultimate location. A network spokeswoman said there were no further details to release.
But a source close to the production said it's likely the show will send it's people to Charleston by the weekend to scout the area. And the following message was also posted on the CBS Reckless Extras Facebook page:
"Reckless has been picked up! Please stay tuned with info on when/where and if our office will be doing the background casting. We will keep you posted as soon as we hear anything. A BIG THANK YOU to all the background who helped with the pilot."
The network's move to announce the pickup came a few days after the passage of a state film incentives bill that Gov. Nikki Haley signed on Thursday. Film leaders in the state said the timing couldn't have been more perfect.
The fate of the show hinged on the state's decision to pass incentives and the show already was eyeing other locations outside of the state if the bill didn't pass, said the source close to the production. It was an all-too-familiar story for the Palmetto State, said Harald Galinski, founder of Studio Charleston, a film production facility.
"In recent years, Georgia and North Carolina have lured productions away from South Carolina with bigger incentives," he said. "This legislation will bring productions back to South Carolina, create hundreds of jobs for South Carolinians and millions in spending at local businesses."
Estimates indicate "Reckless" could spend up to $70 million and that they already spent about $3 million while shooting the pilot. Much of that includes rentals of cars, cranes and properties and hiring extras and production crews.
"The incentives really do matter that much, especially a television show that will shoot year after year after year," McCulley said. The incentive provides rebates to film and television productions if they use vendors from South Carolina and hire workers from the state. To qualify, productions must spend $1 million in the state. It also offers a sales and user tax exemption, which film industry leaders call a huge bonus.
"It's a big game changer here," Galinski said.
CBS' show is a legal drama centering on a litigator and attorney who are attracted to each other, despite being on opposing sides of a police sex scandal.
Cam Gigandet, who appeared as the villain vampire James in "Twilight," plays an attorney on the show. Anna Wood also stars.
With at least 23 episodes left to film for the show's fall debut, it's only a small matter of time before Charlestonians know whether the city becomes a staple on the small screen.

5-Minute Flatbread Pizza with Prosciutto, Arugula, and Mozzarella
Prosciutto, mozzarella, tomatoes, and arugula come together for a crisp, light pizza dinner. This recipe is a slight cheat on skillet pizza, since it uses pre-made flatbread instead of pizza dough. Then again, it really does only take five minutes to make, so I don't feel badly about it at all. More

17-70mm F2.8-4 DC Macro (OS)* HSM | C
- Compact & Lightweight
- Technology: HSM, OS, & Macro functionality
- *OS is not available for the Sony and Pentax mount.
- Lens hood, lens caps are included.
These are special lenses designed for APS-C size sensors so that the image circle matches the smaller size of the image sensor of most digital SLR cameras. Their specialized design gives these lenses the ideal properties for digital cameras, the compact and lightweight construction is an added bonus!
The aspherical lens complex allows freedom of design, improved performance, a reduced number of component lenses and a compact size.
This function utilizes a built-in mechanism that compensates for camera shake. It dramatically expands photographic possibilities by alleviating camera movement when shooting by hand held camera.
This lens uses a motor driven by ultrasonic waves to provide a quiet, high-speed AF.
To ensure stability in focusing, this lens moves the inner lens group(s) without changing the lens' physical length.

- Contribution of alpha cluster exchange to elastic and inelastic 16O + 20Ne scattering (1976)
- Angular distributions for elastic and inelastic transitions in 20Ne + 16O scattering have been measured at E(20Ne)=50 MeV. For the 0+, 2+, and 4+ members of the 20Ne ground-state rotational band, the angular distributions exhibit pronounced backward peaking characteristic of an alpha -cluster exchange mechanism. The analysis of the ground-state transition in the first-order elastic transfer model yields no satisfactory fit although microscopic cluster form factors and full recoil corrections are employed. A coupled channels calculation for the 0+, 2+, and 4+ transitions reveals very strong coupling effects, indicating that the coherent superposition of first-order optical model and distorted-wave Born-approximation amplitudes may not be an adequate model for these reactions. NUCLEAR REACTIONS 16O(20Ne, 16O) and 16O(20Ne, 20Ne), elastic and inelastic transfer; E=50MeV; measured sigma (Ef , theta ); optical model + DWBA, and CCBA analyses.
- Final-state interactions in the production of hydrogen and helium isotopes by relativistic heavy ions on uranium (1976)
- Double-differential cross sections have been measured for high-energy p, d, t, 3He, and 4He particles emitted from uranium targets irradiated with 20Ne ions at energies of 250, 400, and 2100 MeV/nucleon and 4He ions at 400 MeV/nucleon. By using the shape and yield of the proton energy spectra, the shape and yield of the d, t, 3He, and 4He energy spectra can be deduced at all measured angles for all incident projectile energies by assuming that they are formed by a coalescence of cascade nucleons, using a model analogous to that of Butler and Pearson, and Schwarzschild and Zupancic-caron.
- Nuclear fireball model for proton inclusive spectra from relativistic heavy-ion collisions (1976)
- A simple model is proposed for the emission of nucleons with velocities intermediate between those of the target and projectile. In this model, the nucleons which are mutually swept out from the target and projectile form a hot quasiequilibrated fireball which decays as an ideal gas. The overall features of the proton-inclusive spectra from 250- and 400-MeV/nucleon 20Ne ions and 400-MeV/nucleon 4He ions interacting with uranium are fitted without any adjustable parameters.

WILLIAMSON - A Gilbert man was incarcerated on a multitude of charges following a show of violence that left his wife and two other family members injured.
Ricky Aaron Shay Blankenship, 24, was arrested by West Virginia State Police Trooper D. Contos and Mingo County Sheriff's Deputy M.J. Miller and J.R. Fitch, after they were dispatched to a Gilbert residence on a domestic violence call.
According to the criminal complaint the defendant allegedly grabbed his wife, Krista Blankenship, and threw her to the floor, threatening to kill her. The victim stated that her husband got on top of her and started beating her head against the floor. She is said to have had redness and swelling to her face and on her limbs. The defendant then reportedly pulled a long rifle and pointed it at his wife and her friend, Lydia Dalton, telling them he was going to kill them both. The defendant is said to have admitted to the officers that he did pull the gun and did threaten the two females.
While the domestic situation was going on between husband and wife, the defendant's mother allegedly tried to intervene and was assaulted by her son, who she said grabbed and slung her away from him, and also struggled with her when she attempted to get the gun away from him which resulted in her suffering a laceration to her hand. The mother informed the police that the defendant threatened to kill everyone in the home at the time of the dispute, which included his wife, her friend, his mother and elderly grandmother (Shelia Ramsey), who he is also accused of shoving, causing her to be injured after toppling into a pile of wood. The grandmother suffered bruising, contusions and lacerations to her ribs, her wrist and hand.
Blankenship was charged with 3 counts of domestic battery, domestic assault, assault, 2 counts of wanton endangerment and abuse or neglect of an elderly person. He was arraigned before Mingo County Chief Magistrate Dallas Toler, who set bond at $5,000. He remains incarcerated in the Southwestern Regional Jail at Holden.

Daily Tip: How to untethered jailbreak original iPad, iPhone 4, and older devices on iOS 5.0.1 with redsn0w 0.9.10b1
Heard about the untethered jailbreak for the original iPad, iPhone 4, iPod touch 4, and older models running iOS 5.0.1 and curious how to use it on your own device?. This jailbreak won't yet work with newer, Apple A5 chipset-powered devices, namely the iPhone 4S or iPad 2, but if you own anything earlier, you're in luck.
Supported devices
- iPhone 4 (GSM & CDMA)
- iPod touch 4th generation
- iPad (orignal model)
- iPhone 3GS
What you need
- A supported device - please note this will not work for iPhone 4S or iPad 2
- A Mac or PC
- redsn0w 0.9.10b1 - Mac, Windows
Untether via the Corona Cydia package
If you're already tethered jailbroken on iOS 5.0.1, you can untether your jailbreak using the Corona package in Cydia.
Untether via redsn0w
If for some reason you'd prefer using redsn0w to untether, you may do so. Just run the version of redsn0w linked above over your existing jailbreak. When prompted what you want to do, just uncheck Install Cydia since you already have it installed. Let redsn0w do its thing and you should be untethered when it completes.
Jailbreak your device
If you're not jailbroken at all, perform the following steps -
- First Launch redsn0w
- This version and other newer versions of redsn0w should automatically detect what version of iOS you are running. No need to manually browse to a firmware file this time. Just click Jailbreak and follow the prompts.
- Next redsn0w will prompt you to only continue when your device is powered off. If it isn't already, power your device off while it's connected to the computer.
- Next you will be guided through putting your device into DFU mode. Follow the steps and redsn0w will take care of the rest.
- After redsn0w finishes doing it's thing, you're done!
Common issues and how to solve them
Stuck on Apple logo or in recovery mode
Some users seem to be experiencing this issue. Performing a clean restore in iTunes and then attempting to jailbreak after a clean install should alleviate this issue.
redsn0w fails
First attempt to select a custom IPSW under Extras in redsn0w and navigate to the iOS 5.0.1 IPSW to see if this fixes the issue. If it still fails, try a clean restore in iTunes and then attempt to jailbreak again.
If you're running into other issues, make sure to check out our jailbreak and unlock forums for further help troubleshooting common and not so common jailbreak issues.
Daily Tips range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Daily Tip: How to untethered jailbreak original iPad, iPhone 4, and older devices on iOS 5.0.1 with redsn0w 0.9.10b1
Yes. I believe there is a mirroring package you can download via Cydia. There may be more than one.
This was amazingly fast and is unthread :) and also another great thing about pod2g's jailbreak is that you dont need your version to put into redsnOw. It's as fast as greenposion. (Nice how-to) tiPb!)
hey I did the jailbreak on my iphone4, and it all worked perfectly, but now everything I try to install from sbsettings to intelliscreenX (which i paid for) says "cannot comply" after I click "install"! does anyone know why this is or how to fix it?
so I found a work around, I tried to install "serious SbSettings HD", and after a crash or 2, it finally installed fully, and installed the regular SbSettings, and then the intelliscreenX installed right after! hope this helps!
I was having the same problem and tried re starting it and it wouldn't. Trying to reinstall it now
i cant install anything, it says i need to install more sources,i even tried to refresh under "changes" & still didn't do anything :\
never mind, instead of trying to install from previously purchased i just went straight to the item & it worked from there
Can you sim unlock?
Download Redsn0w 0.9.10b2 Fix UnTethered 5.0.1 Jailbreak Bugs
ok i found the solution to all cydia problems, they have updated to 0.9.10b2 http://forums.tipb.com/jailbreak-unlock-forum/227421-redsn0w-updated-0-9...
Just Jailboken for the first time (ever), but I cannot get any apps loaded through Cydia. I get the following error:
sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
There's a couple of tips to solve this on the web, involviing removing Ivy & faulty apps... but I don't have either!
Only Cydia, with no apps, loaded with Redsn0w 0.9.103b
Any suggestions?
I jaibreaked my iphone 4 last night using redsnow (latest version). It worked great without any issues. Now I'm free...
Can anyone recommend a tool/site that shows how to effectively unlock my iphone 4 now?
No it will not. I had the same concern when I jailbroke my iPod 4g running on ios 5.0.1 and it did not erase all my information. I have not had any big probems with the iOS jailbreak. The only thing that has concerned me this far, is where you will now be running on iPhone iOS 5.0.1, your battery will run down faster than usal. Just keep your screen brightness on low and keep your wifi turned off when not using it.
Hope This Helps!(:
What is up with the basebnd 4.11.08 I have tried everything and can't get pass it , i Have been trying to unlock my old I phone 4, for my sis that uses T-mobile and have not had any luck, I install Cydia and run everything but i still can't get another sim to work on it, how do you get pass baseband 4.11.08

Berkeley Stags softball coach Boogie Grooms has seen enough softball games over the course of his storied career to know he will win some and lose some.
In the Class AAA District VIII playoffs, it was Grooms' and his Lady Stags' turn to lose.
"She made a good pitch and it was just that girl's right time and right place to hit it out of the park," Grooms said of the three-run, two-out, two-strike homer that ended his team's season with a 4-2 loss to St. James. "I don't think given the pitch and the circumstances that girl ever hits a home run in that situation again, but this time she did and it's something she will never forget as long as she lives."
Grooms said his Lady Stags, 2013 Region 8AAA champions and number one seed going into the district playoffs, couldn't have played a better game.
"We were in position to win," he said. "We came back in the sixth and took the lead. Even after the home run we loaded the bases in the bottom of the seventh but we couldn't push the runs across. It was a great softball game and a game that was our turn to lose."
Philosophic at season's end, Grooms knows it had been a special run over the last two months with the Lady Stags winning their first region championship in school history.
"These are a special bunch of young ladies who endured a lot this season and it was a true pleasure and a privilege to coach them," he said. "A tremendous amount of credit goes to my four seniors, R.J. Reid, Ashtin Kullnat, Katie Marsch and Savannah Crane for providing the leadership and maturity for what is a very young team. This team will come back stronger next year because of these four young ladies."
The Lady Stags finish the season with a 17-4 mark and return almost everybody in 2014.
"We'll be back in the thick of things next year," Grooms said. "We have both our pitchers back and they'll just be freshmen, and while it will be tough to replace our graduating seniors, we have some players ready to step in and pick up the banner where these girls left off."
For the players, it's time to put away the blue and gold and pick up the travel ball banner. The first tournament for many of these girls begins May 18.
