DENVER (March 2)-The New Mexico State men's basketball team suffered a 66-60 loss at Denver. Senior forward Bandja Sy paced the Aggies (19-10, 12-4 WAC) with his fourth double-double of the season with a game-high 21 points and 11 rebounds.
Freshman center Sim Bhullar scored 17 points on a 6-of-7 shooting performance and blocked four shots. Senior forward Tyrone Watson was also in double-figures with 10 points and five assists.
The Aggies had a 28-27 lead at halftime at Denver. Bhullar posted a team-high 10 points and shot 4-of-5 from the field. He anchored the Aggies' inside presence, and NM State had a 22-8 advantage in points in the paint in the first half.
Sy added six points and a game-high seven rebounds. Watson supplied six points on a 3-of-5 performance in the first half, and the Aggies shot 47.8 percent from the field (11-of-23).
In the first half, the lead changed six times, and the score was tied six times. The Aggies largest lead of the half was a five-point edge, 22-17, when Bhullar connected on a three-point play at 7:44.
The Aggies scored the first six points of the second half to take their largest lead of the game, seven points, 34-27, with 16:26 to play on a pair of Watson free throws. NM State went on to lead until the 11:36 mark.
The Aggies were held scoreless for over six minutes, and Denver took advantage with a 15-0 run to take its first double-digit lead, 52-42, with 6:37 remaining. The Aggies countered with a 9-0 run to trim the lead to one, 55-54, at 1:51, when Sy hit the Aggies' first 3-point attempt of the game.
The Pioneers hit two free throws on the next possession and then sank a 3-pointer after forcing an Aggie turnover to extend the lead back to six, 60-54, with 49 seconds remaining. Sy then nailed another triple to cut it to 60-57 with 37 to go, but the Aggies couldn't close the gap.
The Aggies return to Las Cruces to host Louisiana Tech, Thursday, March 7 and UT Arlington, Saturday, March 9 in the final weekend of the regular season.

According to a report from the Associated Press, the National Mining Association says global demand for coal and other natural resources bodes well for the industry, particularly in developing countries.
President Hal Quinn told the AP that improvement in new-home construction and car sales in the U.S. are also good signs.
Quinn says coal is on track to become the world's primary energy source, surpassing oil by 2015.
In the U.S., total coal consumption is expected to grow by 50 million tons over last year, due in part to cooler weather and natural gas prices that the Energy Information Administration predicts will jump 22 percent, according to the AP report.
Long-term, the NMA expects industry to benefit from the construction of larger, modern coal-fired power plants, the AP report added. It says at least 100 million tons of production lost with the retirement of old plants will eventually be recovered.
NYC-based PIRA Energy Group also reports that international coal prices declined week-on-week. In North America, eastern power market prices weakened month-to-month, while Europe's colder weather led to stronger day-ahead electricity prices. Specifically, PIRA's analysis of electricity and coal market fundamentals has revealed the following:
Weak trade dynamics are offsetting the effects of stronger natural gas prices, while stock declines have yet to gain traction. Natural gas pricing still undercuts Appalachian and import coals. Coal stocks remain well above normal levels given present fuel substitution. The near-term weather outlook is a positive risk, boosting heating loads. Producer supply cuts continue to gain momentum, but will need to be material given weak demand fundamentals. Economic risks remain a concern.
The coal market moved broadly lower last week, despite very cold weather conditions in both China and Europe. The robust seasonal demand growth has been offset by continued high supply availability. API#4 (South Africa) lost the most ground last week. API#2 (Northwest Europe) and FOB Newcastle (Australia) prices also declined.

The blast from a seismic exploration air gun is loud enough to kill tissue in the human ear. The blare of whistles Tuesday in Marion Square could barely be heard above traffic.
By the numbers
243-249 decibelsLoudness of seismic exploration blast directed downward140 decibelsLoud enough to cause permanent hearing loss100 decibelsLoudness of old-fashioned air horn65 decibelsCity of Charleston noise limitSources: Centre for Human Performance and Health, Geo ExPro magazine, Harbor Freight Tools
That's how it goes when you protest oil and gas drilling off South Carolina, a state where most elected officials and apparently much of the population support it.
Activists tried to rally public opposition to proposed exploration offshore by raising a din with air horns for a few minutes, as the rally did in Savannah a few months ago. The noise was intended to give a sense of just how loud the blasts are.
But city officials would not permit the demonstration to exceed 65 decibels, the city's noise limit, about as loud as street traffic. The air horns would have reached about 100 decibels, as loud as a chain saw.
The blasts themselves are about 250 decibels, according to Geo ExPro, a petroleum science magazine. That's far louder than what would deafen a person. Environmental groups say the blasts deafen and disorient sea creatures such as whales, dolphins and sea turtles.
About a dozen people blew the whistles, barely drawing attention at the noisy intersection of King and Calhoun streets. The whistle blowers largely were from environmental groups such as Oceana, which is holding the rallies, South Carolina Aquarium and Southern Alliance for Clean Energy.
"I think we got our message out," said Katie Parrish, of Oceana. That the city considered air horns too loud for its environs, "I think adds credence to what we're doing."
Nine companies have applied to explore for oil and natural gas reserves offshore; federal regulators are reviewing those applications. Exploration companies argue the blasts are sounded well out to sea and directed downward; the noise emanating horizontally through the water isn't nearly as loud. Parrish shook her head at that.
"These sound waves travel hundreds of miles," she said.

Kentucky Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes is predicting between a 62 and 64 percent voter turnout in today's general election.
"Voters have many important decisions to make on Election Day. I urge all eligible Kentuckians to be a part of the process and make their voices heard," Grimes said.
Voters throughout the state will be faced with a number of issues including choosing, President and Vice President of the United States. Voters will chose from Republican nominee Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, Democratic nominee Barack Obama and Joe Biden, Green Party nominee Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala Independent Party nominee Randall Terry and Missy Reilly Smith and Libertarian party nominee Gary Johnson and James Gray.
Voters will chose between Republican nominee Thomas Massie, Democratic nominee William Adkins and Independent nominee David Lewis for 4th district U.S. House of Representatives.
Three months ago former U.S. Rep. Geoff Davis (R-Ky.) resigned his seat in the 4th Congressional District, citing family health issues. Davis previously announced he would not seek re-election.
The 4th Congressional District is comprised of Greenup, Lewis, Bath, Boone, Boyd, Bracken, Campbell, Carroll, Carter, Elliott, Fleming, Gallatin, Grant, Harrison, Henry, Kenton, Mason, Nicholas, Oldham, Owen, Pendleton, Robertson, Scott and Trimble counties.
Voters are being asked to chose between Janet Stumbo and Will Scott for Justice of the Supreme Court 7th Supreme Court District.
Voters of Greenup are being asked to choose six city council members from David Abdon, Joe Mantz, David Black, Mark Harris, Jeff Hurn, Kenneth Stewary and James Stephens.
In South Shore, voters are being asked to choose four city council members between, Paul Ramey, David Piatt, Lou Bentley, Shawn Brown, Lance Warnock, Mildred Bradley, Daniel Leport and Larry Wells.
Voters are also being asked if they are in favor of amending the Kentucky constitution to state that the citizens of Kentucky have the personal right to hunt, fish, and harvest wildlife, subject to laws and regulations that promote conservation and preserve the future of hunting and fishing, and to state that public hunting and fishing shall be a preferred means of managing and controlling wildlife.
The unopposed candidates include 98th district state representative Tanya Pullin, Commonwealth Attorney for the 20th Judicial Circuit Mervin Leonhart and Circuit Clerk Allen Reed.
Grimes said that to date, absentee voting activity is on par with the 2008 General Election. With approximately 130,000 more registered voters compared with 2008, Grimes predicts a record number of ballots will be cast in the Nov. 6 election.
Throughout the state polls are open from 6 a.m. - 6 p.m.

- Meeting Abstract : 27. Deutscher Krebskongress. Berlin, 22.-26.03.2006. Docetaxel, Adriamycin, Cyclophosphamide (TAC) is considered today as one treatment option for patients with node-positive primary breast cancer. However, treatment is associated with anaemia grade 1-4 (2-4) in up to 95% (36%) of patients. We prospectively investigated the use of a primary prophylaxis with Darbepoetin alfa once every 3 weeks in 35 patients receiving six to eight cycles of TAC as neoadjuvant treatment for breast cancer. Darbepoetin treatment started on day 1 of a TAC cycle if haemoglobin (Hb) was ≤ 14.0 g/dl. Dosage was adapted to 9 µg/kg if Hb was ≤ 13.0 g/dl on day 21 of the previous cycle, to 4.5 µg/kg if Hb was between 13.0 and 14.0 g/dl and was discontinued if Hb increased to ≥ 14 g/dl. The primary aim was to prevent Hb levels ≤ 12 g/dl before surgery. During 112 (50.2%) and 93 (41.7%) of 223 cycles, 4.5 µg/kg and 9 µg/kg Darbepoetin were given, respectively. Dosage was decreased from 9 to 4.5 µg/kg in 21 (60%) patients and 28 (12.4%) cycles. Treatment was discontinued due to Hb > 14.0 g/dl in 12 (34.3%) patients and 13 (5.4%) cycles. Hb level on day 21 of the last cycle was ≤ 12.0 g/dl in 4 (11.4%) patients. Eighteen (51.4%) patients during 36 (16.1%) cycles showed Hb levels ≤ 12 g/dl throughout treatment. No NCI-CTC grade 2 to 4 anaemia was observed. Symptoms of fatigue (FACT-AN) decreased slightly throughout treatment. Anaemia during TAC chemotherapy can be avoided by a single injection of Darbepoetin alfa every 3 weeks.
- Phase I clinical study of the recombinant antibody toxin scFv(FRP5)-ETA specific for the ErbB2/HER2 receptor in patients with advanced solid malignomas (2005)
- Introduction: ScFv(FRP5)-ETA is a recombinant antibody toxin with binding specificity for ErbB2 (HER2). It consists of an N-terminal single-chain antibody fragment (scFv), genetically linked to truncated Pseudomonas exotoxin A (ETA). Potent antitumoral activity of scFv(FRP5)-ETA against ErbB2-overexpressing tumor cells was previously demonstrated in vitro and in animal models. Here we report the first systemic application of scFv(FRP5)-ETA in human cancer patients. Methods: We have performed a phase I dose-finding study, with the objective to assess the maximum tolerated dose and the dose-limiting toxicity of intravenously injected scFv(FRP5)-ETA. Eighteen patients suffering from ErbB2-expressing metastatic breast cancers, prostate cancers, head and neck cancer, non small cell lung cancer, or transitional cell carcinoma were treated. Dose levels of 2, 4, 10, 12.5, and 20 μg/kg scFv(FRP5)-ETA were administered as five daily infusions each for two consecutive weeks. Results: No hematologic, renal, and/or cardiovascular toxicities were noted in any of the patients treated. However, transient elevation of liver enzymes was observed, and considered dose limiting, in one of six patients at the maximum tolerated dose of 12.5 μg/kg, and in two of three patients at 20 μg/kg. Fifteen minutes after injection, peak concentrations of more than 100 ng/ml scFv(FRP5)-ETA were obtained at a dose of 10 μg/kg, indicating that predicted therapeutic levels of the recombinant protein can be applied without inducing toxic side effects. Induction of antibodies against scFv(FRP5)-ETA was observed 8 days after initiation of therapy in 13 patients investigated, but only in five of these patients could neutralizing activity be detected. Two patients showed stable disease and in three patients clinical signs of activity in terms of signs and symptoms were observed (all treated at doses ≥ 10 μg/kg). Disease progression occurred in 11 of the patients. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that systemic therapy with scFv(FRP5)-ETA can be safely administered up to a maximum tolerated dose of 12.5 μg/kg in patients with ErbB2-expressing tumors, justifying further clinical development.
- Identification of biology-based breast cancer types with distinct predictive and prognostic features : role of steroid hormone and HER2 receptor expression in patients treated with neoadjuvant anthracycline/taxane-based chemotherapy (2009)
- Introduction: Reliable predictive and prognostic markers for routine diagnostic purposes are needed for breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We evaluated protein biomarkers in a cohort of 116 participants of the GeparDuo study on anthracycline/taxane-based neoadjuvant chemotherapy for operable breast cancer to test for associations with pathological complete response (pCR) and disease-free survival (DFS). Particularly, we evaluated if interactions between hormone receptor (HR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) expression might lead to a different clinical behavior of HR+/HER2+ coexpressing and HR+/HER2- tumors and whether subgroups of triple negative tumors might be identified by the help of Ki67 labeling index, cytokeratin 5/6 (CK5/6), as well as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1) expression. Methods: Expression analysis was performed using immunohistochemistry and silver-enhanced in situ hybridization on tissue microarrays (TMAs) of pretherapeutic core biopsies. Results: pCR rates were significantly different between the biology-based tumor types (P = 0.044) with HR+/HER2+ and HR-/HER2- tumors having higher pCR rates than HR+/HER2-tumors. Ki67 labeling index, confirmed as significant predictor of pCR in the whole cohort (P = 0.001), identified HR-/HER- (triple negative) carcinomas with a higher chance for a pCR (P = 0.006). Biology-based tumor type (P = 0.046 for HR+/HER2+vs. HR+/HER2-), Ki67 labeling index (P = 0.028), and treatment arm (P = 0.036) were independent predictors of pCR in a multivariate model. DFS was different in the biology-based tumor types (P < 0.0001) with HR+/HER2- and HR+/HER2+ tumors having the best prognosis and HR-/HER2+ tumors showing the worst outcome. Biology-based tumor type was an independent prognostic factor for DFS in multivariate analysis (P < 0.001). Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that a biology-based breast cancer classification using estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), and HER2 bears independent predictive and prognostic potential. The HR+/HER2+ coexpressing carcinomas emerged as a group of tumors with a good response rate to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and a favorable prognosis. HR+/HER2- tumors had a good prognosis irrespective of a pCR, whereas patients with HR-/HER- and HR-/HER+ tumors, especially if they had not achieved a pCR, had an unfavorable prognosis and are in need of additional treatment options. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00793377
- Correction: Phase I clinical study of the recombinant antibody-toxin scFv(FRP5)-ETA specific for the ErbB2/HER2 receptor in patients with advanced solid malignomas (2006)
- Following publication of the data presented by von Minckwitz and colleagues [1] it has been brought to our attention that some patients should be scored differently. Stable disease was seen in three of the eighteen patients instead of two of the eighteen patients: one patient with transitional cell carcinoma treated at 4 micro g/kg scFv(FRP5)-ETA per day, and two breast cancer patients treated at 4 and 12.5 micro g/kg scFv(FRP5)-ETA per day. Disease progression occured in 9 of the eighteen patients evaluated (see corrected Table 2 overleaf). This does not affect the conclusions of our study. In addition we would like to correct the following errors: patient IDs for patients U01 and U02 in the original Table 2 were interchanged. In addition, patient N03 had a grade 3 elevation of gamma-glutamyl transferase, and not grade 2 (see corrected Table 2 overleaf). http://publikationen.ub.uni-frankfurt.de/volltexte/2005/1156/
- Clinical feasibility of (neo)adjuvant taxane-based chemotherapy in older patients : analysis of >4,500 patients from four German randomized breast cancer trials (2008)
- Introduction: Despite the fact that people older than 65 years of age have the highest incidence of developing breast cancer, these patients are excluded from clinical trials in most cases. Furthermore, most physicians tend towards therapy regimens without the use of dose-dense, highly active taxane-based treatments because of a lack of data regarding toxicities of these compounds in older patients. Methods: Pooled side-effect data were analyzed from four prospective, randomized clinical trials in which patients of different age groups (< 60 years, between 60 and 64 years, and > 64 years) with primary breast cancer received taxane-based chemotherapy. Results: Dose delays, dose reductions, hospitalization, and therapy discontinuation increased with age. Hematologic toxicities and some nonhematologic toxicities were generally more common in older patients. Leucopenia increased from 55.3% in patients aged < 60 years to 65.5% in patients aged > 64 years (P < 0.001), and neutropenia increased from 46.9% to 57.4% (P < 0.001). There was no difference, however, in clinically more relevant febrile neutropenia between the different age groups. Thrombopenia shows a similar age-dependent increase, whereas there is no difference between the age groups concerning anemia. Hot flushes and elevated liver enzymes decreased with increasing age. Conclusions: The present pooled analysis of a substantial cohort of older primary breast cancer patients demonstrates that taxane-containing (neo)adjuvant chemotherapy is feasible in older patients and that toxicity can be reduced by sequential therapy regimens.
- Clinical response after two cycles compared to HER2, Ki-67, p53, and bcl-2 in independently predicting a pathological complete response after preoperative chemotherapy in patients with operable carcinoma of the breast (2008)
- Introduction To investigate the predictive value of clinical and biological markers for a pathological complete remission after a preoperative dose-dense regimen of doxorubicin and docetaxel, with or without tamoxifen, in primary operable breast cancer. Methods Patients with a histologically confirmed diagnosis of previously untreated, operable, and measurable primary breast cancer (tumour (T), nodes (N) and metastases (M) score: T2-3(>= 3 cm) N0-2 M0) were treated in a prospectively randomised trial with four cycles of dose-dense (bi-weekly) doxorubicin and docetaxel (ddAT) chemotherapy, with or without tamoxifen, prior to surgery. Clinical and pathological parameters (menopausal status, clinical tumour size and nodal status, grade, and clinical response after two cycles) and a panel of biomarkers (oestrogen and progesterone receptors, Ki-67, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), p53, bcl-2, all detected by immunohistochemistry) were correlated with the detection of a pathological complete response (pCR). Results A pCR was observed in 9.7% in 248 patients randomised in the study and in 8.6% in the subset of 196 patients with available tumour tissue. Clinically negative axillary lymph nodes, poor tumour differentiation, negative oestrogen receptor status, negative progesterone receptor status, and loss of bcl-2 were significantly predictive for a pCR in a univariate logistic regression model, whereas in a multivariate analysis only the clinical nodal status and hormonal receptor status provided significantly independent information. Backward stepwise logistic regression revealed a response after two cycles, with hormone receptor status and lymph-node status as significant predictors. Patients with a low percentage of cells stained positive for Ki-67 showed a better response when treated with tamoxifen, whereas patients with a high percentage of Ki-67 positive cells did not have an additional benefit when treated with tamoxifen. Tumours overexpressing HER2 showed a similar response to that in HER2-negative patients when treated without tamoxifen, but when HER2-positive tumours were treated with tamoxifen, no pCR was observed. Conclusion Reliable prediction of a pathological complete response after preoperative chemotherapy is not possible with clinical and biological factors routinely determined before start of treatment. The response after two cycles of chemotherapy is a strong but dependent predictor. The only independent factor in this subset of patients was bcl-2. Trial registration number NCT00543829

Hello from the World's Most Famous Beach, Daytona!
The NASCAR season is underway. I drove down to Daytona with my fellow partners in crime Nancy Padula (@163MTeam), Brooks Powell (@99_RFRracing) and the notorious Kevin Woods (@PRKevinRFR) on Tuesday. The six hour drive was filled with "are we there yet?", and when my co-pilot wasn't sleeping, he was playing a game that I think got the best of him.
Thursday was filled with a NASCAR on FOX shoot and an afternoon media session. After they edit it together, I can't wait to see the NASCAR on FOX footage.
Since the No. 17 team wasn't eligible for the Sprint Unlimited, our practice sessions were limited. We finally got on track yesterday and the No. 17 team seemed pretty happy with our practice sessions.
Today was qualifying for the front row of the Daytona 500. Ricky Stenhouse qualified 12th overall which lines the No. 17 Best Buy Ford in the sixth-position for Duel 2 on Thursday. The finishing order of the duels sets the remainder of the field for our Super Bowl, the Daytona 500.
There is no track activity on Monday or Tuesday so the No. 17 team headed back to North Carolina. If you are going to be in the Daytona Beach area on Tuesday, make sure to stop by the Best Buy store across from the track from 5-7 p.m. to meet Ricky.
Until next time….

I was planing a super fancy build for my son but I have decided to get a more traditional build done first that will be more standard to get all the bugs worked out of the mag system and other issues. I am doing a 243Win on a AMD 65 barreles kit. I want to use as many standard parts as possable to work out what will and wont work. I'm using a bent Tapco that I had laying around its a early flat with out the top rails bent.
Trigger clearance is a issue on these conversion and i dont like the squished in trigger guard look that some guns have like the 308 GALIL or some other conversion I have done or seen. It would be easy to just weld on tome AK lugs like standard mag and use a normal mag latch but I would loose around 1/2" of trigger clearance. Here is what I've come up with i threw this together in a about a hour. using normal tools.
I dedempled the reciver with a custom dedempling tool or whats known as a C clamp. If I was starting from scratch Id flatten them out before hand. I opend up the mag with a specaly set up mag well, rail cutting, trigger adjustning device or a digrinder with a cut off wheel. trimmed back to the second hole for the trigger guard and bent the center out to allow me to use it to wled the mag well housing to it. I considered using it bent inward as a center support but its pretty close to the hammer.
The mag well is 4143 .060 bent on a break and trimmed to fit. the one shown is just for mock up and will not be used. Ill make a few additions to make it so it will rivet spot weld in front and rear.

ELKIN - After Mother Nature postponed Friday night hoops, area squads will hit the floor tonight in a packed week of action.
Elkin, Starmount, East Wilkes and Forbush will all play three times this week, beginning tonight around the Yadkin Valley.
In make-up games, the Buckin' Elks will square off with North Wilkes tonight in Hays, while the Rams head to Millers Creek to take on West Wilkes. The Cardinals and Falcons matchup from Friday night will be made up Thursday in East Bend.
Mountain Valley Conference leader Elkin (8-0) then returns to its normal schedule with two pivotal games on their quest for a conference championship.
The Elks welcome defending 1A champ Alleghany to town Tuesday night before heading to reigning league champion and second place Wilkes Central Friday night in Moravian Falls.
Elkin knocked off all three squads in their first meetings in early December, topping the Vikings 52-44 in the conference opener, cruising past the Trojans 59-46 in Sparta and dethroning the Eagles 61-51 at home.
The Lady Elks (0-8) will look to pick up their first win of the season this week in the three matchups. Elkin came close to knocking off Alleghany in their first meeting, falling late in the fourth quarter.
Starmount (2-6), fresh off its second conference win of the season last Tuesday, returns to action Wednesday night after its make-up game with West Wilkes.
The Rams head to Pilot Mountain to take on East Surry in their final non-conference game of the season before hosting Ashe County Friday night. Starmount dropped a 38-36 heart-breaker to the Huskies on December 11.
The Lady Rams (2-6) will be looking to snap a five-game conference losing streak this week. Starmount topped the Blackhawks 53-48 in their league opener in Decemeber before falling to the Huskies in their first matchup.
Prior to Thursday's make-up tilt with Forbush, the Cardinals (3-5) will take on cross-town rival North Wilkes in Hays Tuesday night. The Vikings cruised past East 59-37 earlier this year.
East then steps out of MVAC play to square off with North Iredell Friday at home in their final non-conference game of the year.
The Lady Cards (4-4) will look to gain ground on unbeaten North Wilkes, who topped East 94-83 earlier this season in a marathon contest.
The Falcons (2-6) will play three conference games in four days this week, starting with a trip up to West Jefferson to take on Ashe County Tuesday night. Forbush then welcomes East and North Wilkes to town on back-to-back nights Thursday and Friday.
The Falcons will look to avenge earlier losses to both Wilkes schools this week. Forbush knocked off the Huskies 63-37 in their first meeting.
The Lady Falcons (4-4) are the hottest team in the league, riding a four-game win streak into the matchups, including handing Wilkes Central its first conference loss in three seasons.
Forbush will be seeking revenge after losing to all three squads earlier in the year.

I posted this same topic in the grappling board, but that board seems kinda borderline vacant; so sorry mods for double posting it.
When you are in somebodys guard or not, or whenever you have a knee down; should the top of your foot be flat on the mat, or should your toes be in a ready to spring position? i have just always wondered which is best, since I came from a wrestling background and I've always been told by my coach to keep them flat; the reason being is that having your foot raised up like that gives the opponent a potential place to gain levrege by grabbing it, and you have more balance with it flat. What do you more experienced Bjj guys think?
Ps. I finally started classes and I even held my own against the blubelts

CHARLESTON (AP) — Charleston City Council is the latest municipality in South Carolina to consider making it illegal to text behind the wheel.
The Post and Courier reports the council will consider the ordinance on Wednesday. The prohibition would apply to texting, emailing, typing or reading within city limits but would not apply to talking on a cellphone.
The fine would be $100 plus court costs.
Mayor Joe Riley says it's time for Charleston to join nearly a dozen local governments with similar bans.
But the chairman of the committee that will first review of the proposal is not a supporter. Still, Councilman Bill Moody says he'll schedule a public hearing and welcomes the debate.

Redknapp is keen to bolster his midfield in this month's transfer window and he is a big fan of Palacios having signed him during his time in charge of Tottenham.
Palacios has fallen out of favour at Stoke and has made just four appearances for Tony Pulis' side this season.
Stoke are willing to offload the Honduras international and Palacios' father, Eulogio, claims Redknapp is keen to be reunited with the 28-year-old at Loftus Road.
"Wilson is going to join QPR. Their manager is interested in signing him once more, as he knows him well," Palacios' father is quoted as saying in The Sun.
"Wilson is going to change clubs as he is not getting games for Stoke. Their manager puts him on the teamsheet but does not play him."

Hi Everyone,
We conceived our baby with no problems, however we lost him to HELLP syndrome. So now it has been 7 months since, and we are looking to TTC again, and we are having some issues. It has been 8 months since we lost our little one. At 5 months after we started having unprotected sex again, and then at 6 months we started really charting and TTC. We everything was normal until this past cycle, my period of 11 days late (that never happens to me EVER), but when I took the pregnancy tests they all came up negative. So now, I am wondering if we are going to be having trouble coneiving this time around due to all that happened?

|6th at MIT
|Previous College:
|South Carolina
Halston Taylor's tenure at MIT began in 1982, as an
assistant with the men's track and field squad. Taylor would
take over as the head coach of the men in 1990 and has served as
Director of MIT's Track and Field programs for the past five
seasons. He is beginning his sixth year at the helm of the women's
program. He has solidified MIT's position as one of the most
dominant track and field programs in the region, as he totaled his
12th NEWMAC Coach of the Year citation this past season. Both teams
earned New England Division III titles in recent years, as the
women's last regional crown came at the 2011 outdoor
championship and the men won this year's outdoor meet. His
teams have combined to win 18 NEWMAC Championships, including 13 of
the league's 14 men's crowns.
The indoor and outdoor teams regularly qualify individuals for the NCAA Championships, and under Taylor's guidance, MIT has elicited 188 All-Americans and 13 national champions, including a pair in 2010. Both teams had tremendous showings at the 2010 NCAA Outdoor Championships, as the women finished third and the men placed fourth in the nation. Taylor has collected accolades from the USTFCCCA in each of the past four years, having been named the New England Women's Coach of the Year in 2009 and 2011 while receiving the same honor on the men's side in 2010 and 2012.
Before arriving at MIT, Taylor coached the women's track club at South Carolina and was the boy's track coach at both Granby and Mohawk Regional high schools in Massachusetts.
A native of Columbia, S.C., Taylor is a graduate of the University of South Carolina where he was a four-year letter winner and a 4:05-miler. After receiving his undergraduate degree in Physical Education, Taylor entered UMass-Amherst to study and receive his Masters in Exercise Science.

Google is a search company.
OK, Google started as a search company in 1998, when Sergey Brin and Larry Page were doctoral students at Stanford. And fifteen years later? Google is a verb. That's how ingrained it's become into our lexicon, as well as into our lives. If you want to know something, you "Google" it.
Of course, Google is so much more now. It's an advertising company (which still provides the bulk of its revenue). It's a video-hosting company, with YouTube. It's a social network, with Google+. It's a mobile company, with Android. It's leading the wearables revolution with Google Glass and Android Wear. Google's making inroads into enterprise with its web-based infrastructures, to the point where municipal governments and private businesses alike are ditching the server racks for the cloud. It's seeking to change the way we use computers with its not-quite-a-thin-client Chromebooks.
And that was just the first 15 years.
Where will Google go next? That's a question many of us can't wait to see answered. And, understandably, it's a question many are wary of. Is Google too big? Is it too powerful? Does it know too much? Is it doing the right things for the right reasons? Or is it just trying to become as rich and powerful as it possibly can? Those are all fair questions, and ones that Google should ask itself, and ones that we as its customers should continue to it.

Dylan has a run-in with Nick, Victor and Nikki face-off with Sharon, and Leslie gives Nikki advice about Dylan.
Avery reads Nikki's will at the Athletic Club. Dylan appears. They talk about Billy and Chloe's loss. Avery says she feels for him losing Connor too. He tells her his marriage to Chelsea is over. Leslie arrives and Dylan finalizes his paperwork before leaving. Leslie opens a folder and blurts, "Dylan is Nikki's son?" Avery quickly explains the terrible position she's in.
Sharon arrives at the ranch to pick up Faith for dance class. Nikki and Victor make cracks. Nikki goes up to get Faith. Victor tells Sharon she's been a dreadful mother. They bicker about Noah. Nick arrives as Victor warns her about coming between him and his grandson. Nick defends Sharon and says he shares her concern. They argue about making mistakes. Nikki and Faith appear as Victor bellows that she abandoned her children - an unforgivable mistake! Faith convinces both her parents to take her to dance. Later, Victor grumps to Nikki about Nick getting involved with Sharon. He decides to make sure Sharon is out of all of their lives.
At the penthouse, the officer tells Adam that he's there about his black SUV - one like it may have been involved in a hit-and-run. Adam tells him where to find it. Chelsea wonders why they're wasting time. Adam says they'll move on. Chelsea hopes they find the driver soon. Chelsea says she's going to look at apartments as the officer returns and says Adam's vehicle looks fine. Adam tells Chelsea she's free to go. She wonders about the turnaround. Adam says he's feeling generous. She leaves with Connor. Adam pulls the broken headlamp out of a drawer.
Summer greets Noah at Crimson Lights. Courtney appears and kisses him. Summer's eyes widen. Noah says he has to meet Victor. Courtney crows that he's working at Newman. Summer is surprised and warns him it may not be easy to walk away. Noah leaves and Courtney tells Summer she cares about him. Summer says she's fine with them going out, but she misses her best friend and her brother. Courtney says she'll find somebody too. Courtney gets a text from Zach to meet him now at the usual place.
In the park, Nick and Sharon tell Faith they are just friends - they can't always do things together. Dylan appears. Faith rushes to hug him. They talk about the day he saved her in the woods. Nick sends Faith to the swings. Nick and Dylan have an exchange about paternity issues and Dylan mentions his divorce. Nick snarks that he's free to go after Avery now. Dylan doesn't want any trouble. Nick grumps about him constantly hanging out with the women in his life. Dylan goes. Sharon asks, "Really, Nick?" She assures him he'll always be number one in Faith's heart. Later, Chelsea runs into Avery, who says she's sorry things didn't work out for her and Dylan. Chelsea says she's moving forward and Adam has agreed to let her and Connor move out. Avery's surprised. Chelsea says he's been very emotional since Delia died. Once alone, Chelsea learns she got her apartment.
Noah arrives at the ranch, where Victor talks about him working at Newman for the rest of his life. Noah says he would like to log a couple of days at the office before making that commitment. Victor asks him about his parents. Noah says they've worked hard to get along for Faith's sake and that Sharon's had a tough go of it, but he's there to help her. Victor says she's lucky to have him.
Leslie spots Nikki at the Club and pulls her aside to tell her Dylan has the right to know the truth. Leslie says she's put Avery in a terrible position - if Dylan were to find out she knew it could ruin their chances. Leslie talks about her own past and how she wished her parents were honest. Nikki worries she'd be taking something from Dylan - everything he believes about himself and his parents, and he might hate her. Leslie says he has a right to choose how he reacts.
At The Underground, Sharon asks Nick about kid-friendly food. They go look and get locked in the freezer.
Adam returns to the penthouse after having been out and calls someone to come over. He watches his confession. Avery arrives. She says Chelsea told her he was troubled and asks why he called her over. He says he needs a lawyer. Adam gives her the tape and tells her not to watch it. When he's ready, he'll tell her what to do.
Nikki approaches Dylan at Crimson Lights. He wonders if she heard about his exchange with Nick. She's glad no punches were exchanged. Nikki is working up to telling Dylan when Summer appears and invites her to talk.
Spoilers for Tomorrow on The Young and the Restless:

Fen looks wary in prison.

I will be getting an iPhone 4 for my wife for only $99
Poll: Are you getting an iPhone 4S?
Simple poll for a complex question -- Are you getting an iPhone 4S? Apple has introduced it, you've seen their Let's Talk iPhone song and dance, you've watched the demos, you know the score. Have you already decided to hit the order button or go line up? Are you waiting on reviews to see how it really matches up against the competition? Or is this simply not the new iPhone you were looking for?
Vote in the poll and then please share your thoughts as to why in the comments below!

Poll: Are you getting an iPhone 4S?
Cant wait to get my iphone 4s for $18 with a new 2-yr contract!
What inappropriate favors are you doing to get it for that price?? ;)
bought the Galaxy S2 on Sunday! had it reserved the day b4 release day @ my local Best Buy. Apple fails HARD. Android phone makers must be laughing themselves silly at this Apple fumble. SOOO happy with my choice, but this makes me just shake my head & chuckle some more as i hold my beautiful Android phone that has already made this new iPhone obsolete!
got the s2 and apple have not really innovated at all...android does voive control just not as elegantly an and there are apps such vlingo on the market that does similar stuff..siri features can easily be upgrade on android via software...was expecting more...il be happy with ip4 with ios 5 and am sure jailbreak will bring siri to ip4...looks like the next phone is prime
not obselete but i gotta agree. there was very little improvement. Apple is doing what Sony did. Underestimate the competition. And if this is the Cook direction wow i'm glad i sold my apple stock over 400. i'll wait and see when and if it's a good time to get in after the stock movement settles.
Yeah, Apple fails HARD. If by fails HARD you mean makes more money than anyone else in the industry and is worth more than any company in the world, than yeah - Apple fails HARD.
Back in reality -- it is a good improvement on the iPhone 4 - which is still currently the number one selling smart phone, and will continue to sell really well. Heck, the ancient iPhone 3GS is still selling really well - and will probably fly out the door now with it's "free-with-contract price:. Make no mistake, the iPhone 4S is going to sell a shit ton. I already know two Sprint customers who have pre-ordered and are dumping their 3 month old Android phones...
Sure - it is not the most amazing thing in the history of man kind - but does it have to be? The big thing is that iOS 5 is coming out, that is way bigger than the new spec-bump iPhone 4S...
no, but it could have at least improved the screen size. apple now has the second smallest screen. only RIM's screens are smaller. 3.5 inches? get with the program, apple. it's time for a major overhaul of your screen size and iOS.
I just got an IPhone 4 with Verizon back in Feb! With the iOS5 update I'm sure it'll be fine
Not the iPhone I was looking for. I wanted a bigger screen and sleeker phone all around, but I NEED to upgrade from my 3GS real bad. So I'm still pre-ordering
Definitely, disappointed, Rene. Even though you told us to set our expectations low, we all knew we were secretly hoping for a 5 with a bigger screen. I'll stick with my old 3GS and buy a new iPhone if I absolutely have to. :(
My feeling exactly. Better camera and voice input. Neither particularly appeals to me.
if you wait 2 years the iphone 5s might be out LOOL
Go with the best you can afford. Technology moves fast, no need to start one generation "behind". There is a pretty big jump in performance between the two, it might be worth an extra $100 to get the 4S if you keep phones for a few years.
Will wait out the iPhone 5 - this is a minimal update and the iPhone 4 is perfectly fine for me!
Don't get hung up on the name. Other than a rumored larger display, the 4S is pretty much everything rumored for the new high end phone. What we didn't get was the "mini - cheap" phone. But then a 3Gs for Free and a 4 for $99, well that is the mini.
Now I won't be getting one because I have another year left on my contract. But, one son is due an upgrade and will probably get one and we may move my wife to is 3GS or get her a 4.
I never understood the desire for a "budget iPhone." Whenever the new model iPhone comes out, the older model automatically becomes your "budget" iPhone. The budget version is built-in to the product lifecycle. This has been happening since the release of the 3G.
some people, don't have $200 or $300 or $400 to spend on a mobile phone.
that's why they get the old version at it's new lowered price: free iPhone 3GS or $99 iPhone 4. Automatic "budget" versions.
for me that was the number 1 above 64gbs which was two. so it's a major disappointment for me.
The iPhone 4S is is like getting a Go-Bot for xmas when you were hoping for a Transformer. I'm passing on this one.
hey, i loved Go-Bots!
Only if sprint has unlimited data for iPhone 4s
Oh AND I'm getting an iPhone 4 for my wife. FINALLY getting her a smart phone.
I like it-- Specifically the new hardware, the 8mp camera and 1080P video but I'm under contract for another year. Will buy the iPhone 5 next year.
I was a little nervous when I bought my Sensation, but after watching the iPhone event I feel pretty good about my choice. Man, I was really hoping for something grand. Oh, well.....
What a let down, I was ready to give my daughter my Sensation and I get the new iPhone, she is going to be just a little dissapointed when I tell her the new iPhone is not what I want.
I know I was. That's why I came back.
i got the S2 on Sunday & LOOOOVE it! :) already rooted it too, to remove the junk bloatware, just cuz i can! haha. you will be really happy with your new toy!
A better camera & tweaked hardware do not an upgrade make...
funny, that's EXACTLY what it makes for me :)
I'm not eligible for upgrade for another 8-14 months anyway. My iPhone 4 is such a huge improvement over the iPhone 3 I had before that. I think i can wait until the next quantum leap.
The only feature not available to the iphone4 is Siri, which is connectivity intensive and still somewhat beta. For most games and normal photo/video needs the iphone4 processor and camera will suffice. There is no new form factor either to the 4s. For me this means I gladly wait until iphone5 comes along...
Not eligible for an upgrade until Feb '12, so I will be waiting until then to procure the 4S. But I'll certainly be obtaining the 64GB model in Feb.
Well after following a blog on a different site I will make my decision later. But just wanted to say listening to the TIPB live feed was painful, unprofessional and embarrassing. I had to leave. I could not tell what was actually news or idiotic horseplay. The 4 of you should never do a feed again.
next time, opt for the very professional & accomplished live-blogger, Jacqui Cheng from ArsTechnica. http://arstechnica.com/author/jacqui-cheng/ - they had some new live-blog technical issues today, but i always go there 1st for the events. very capable, quick, on-point, witty, & goes the farthest of any site i've seen, to make you feel like you're there. my fall-back today was the engadget live feed. they are always a good 2nd to ArsTechnica. of course... this is just my own 2¢... take it with a grain of salt. :)
Iphone 4 and the Iphone 4S are still the best devices available. However, I have the Iphone 4, and without LTE, the Iphone 4S is not worth it, imo. However, if I didn't have the Iphone 4, I'd be all over the Iphone 4S. Still the best screen and best battery life in the business, now with OTA syncing, backup and restore, etc. Plus Imessage. Hopefully, next year, I can get an Iphone5 or 6 with LTE.
I wanted to jump ship on Sprint to go to Verizon, but no new iphone means I'll stick with my Evo until an iphone 5 comes out.
And for what it's worth, I'm aware that Sprint has the iphone now... I just wanted to leave cause they suck.
Yes! My mom as elegible for an upgrade. So she'll get the 4S and I'll swap the sims and she'll take my 4. Since we staggered our contracts I can get the new iPhone every year and still pay the lowest subsidized price! Win Win!
ETA: I'm getting the 64GB Black!
Well this saves me a tough decision. I figured a new iPhone wouldn't be LTE anyway but a redesign after 16 months would be extremely tempting. Now it's a no-brainer...wait for an actual new phone! What a disappointment but hopefully they'll actually get the next phone right: quad-core (it's in the iOS5 code) with 4" screen and LTE, June/July 2012???
only because of Siri... and the fact I sold my iPhone4 in anticipation of iphone5....
bottom line, a shit-ton of people will upgrade. everyone's all pissy pants right now, but they'll be online pre-ordering. android users,...is your giant screen good on battery life. go find an outlet, i know its dying. is it a tablet or a phone? there's a new android phone every day and each one is the SAME. they're obsolete the second they come out.
Had my SGS2 on battery for almost two days with very frequent use - phone calls, texts, internet browsing, downloaded Gun Bros (143Mb) on HSPA+, played gun bros for a while, download some other apps, and used my camera flash as a flashlight for a while. All this and I'm just now having to charge it after nearly two days on battery. My wife doesn't use her iPhone 4 as much I use my SGS2, and it lasts her about a day.
You're full of crap, you probably never even owned an android. I had both, I'll take android over your iCrap anyday. Not to say that I don't like apple, I do REALLY. I think their phones are great and i would buy one for my grandma (since they're soooo easy to use). But for my personal choice, it'll be an Android, over and over again. Apple is just falling behind and not providing enough options, and their fanboys are getting uglier and dumber. Btw, the battery on my phone lasts longer than any iphone out there, just saying.
"there's a new android phone every day and each one is the SAME."
But the iPhone 4 and 4S aren't the same? What about when they released the 3G and the 3GS? So Android phones all look the same but when Apple releases a phone that looks EXACTLY (literally) the same as their previous model, that's somehow different? Glass houses my friend…glass houses
Wish I could, lost my second pre due to hardware failure a couple of months ago so I had to upgrade to get a new device. I know Sprint won't offer a deal on that. I could if I pay full price without contract, but I couldn't see spending that much yet.
I'll be getting it because I still have iPhone 3G. Was eligible to upgrade to 4 a few months ago but decided to hold out for the 5. Disappointed.
hmmm. not allowed to post my opinion here? you removed my comment about you guys acting like idiots on your live feed? can't take criticism? tsk tsk...
It wasn't removed... I still see it under "Selbo"
Sorry Apple..... There's just not enough there to tempt me to upgrade from my 4 without an "s", to an upgrade that has a "better camera".
Steve got out on a high it seems leaving on the back of a "New" phone before everyone got disappointed with a "upgrade" that just didn't hit the mark.
iOS5 gets A plus top marks from me, BIG thumbs up!!!
BUT.... iPhone 4S gets an F minus, even BIGGER thumbs down!!!
Wish I could. I lost my second pre due to havedware failure so had to use my upgrade a couple of months ago to get a different device so I know Sprint won't give me a deal to get the iPhone 4S. I could pay the full non-contract price, but I can't see spending that much right now.
My 3GS is up in December. The rumored iPhone 5 (new design, bigger screen, rounded edges) would have been an automatic choice. The 4S however is NOT a slam dunk. Will now be looking more seriously at the competition. Disappointment.... :(
Only thing I want is the voice-recognition, sucks that they're making it exclusive to the 4S. Either way, I'm holding my iP4 for two years just as I did with my 3G. I'm more excited about iOS 5 + BiteSMS + TetherMe ... just for starters. Whoooo!
i haven't decided. i'm on sprint. waited more then a year to switch to the next iphone. but i don't know now. i really wanted a 4 inch screen. And it would suck to buy this and not bealbe to upgrade again for almost two years. Especially when in one year they'll probably finally have a 4 inch screen phone.
I originally bought the iPhone 4 and then sold it and went back to my 3GS because there were just so many issues I had with the phone and the design was just something I wasn't feeling.
I returned to my 3GS in hopes that I would be seeing a different design this time around. While I'm glad the screen size is the same (I do not want a 4-inch screen), as well as spec bumps, sadly it's still the same design. I will be upgrading to the 4S, unfortunately, only because I dont even think my 3GS can't handle life much longer, and I've invested too much in apps/iTunes to move to another OS.
If not that many people aren't going to be upgrading than thats even better because that means there won't be another pre-ordering mess like last years delimma.
That whole segment about how fast the phone is compared to other "4G" phones was pretty lame. Stop trying to mask that your phone isn't 4G.
You do know that no one is really 4G, right? Officially, 4G is 100Mbps downstream at 80mph, and 1Gbps standing still. No one's even close to that, so everyone is technically still 3.5G
My upgrade date is February 25th, 2012. We'll see how my 4 is doing at that time. I just passed the one-year mark with it the other day.
I hate the feel and shape of the Iphone 4. I was hoping for a more curvy 3GS-like Iphone 5 - maybe thinner and definitely lighter. The 4GS is even slightly heavier than the 4!! What a disappointment ! No new Iphone for me. I'll just upgrade to IOS5 and see how it works on my Iphone 3GS. :( :(
I'm getting the 4S for the function of the flash drive. I needed 64GB since the iPhone 4 and that was my major concern and reason for waiting. The iPhone 4GS or 5 next year may be nicer but thats how it's always going to be so I'm not waiting this time or i'll be waiting forever, I'm getting the 4S now and two years later i'll upgrade. I use to be obsessed with having the newest, I had the 3G and 3GS but now I don't care.
all i wanted was a bigger screen and an aluminum back...... thats all...... epic fail apple.
Whose going to start the first rumors about the specs for the new iPhone 5 and get everybody all excited and following stupid stories for the next 15 months. I can't believe I got sucked into this mania, only to be left wanting TWICE for the much hypothesised new phone. If iPhone had received a major update I might well have been a life-long customer. Now I'm thinking about looking elsewhere when my contract expires in a couple of months. Shame! But hey, its just a piece of kit, i'll get over it!
Being in Canada I still have extra time left on my contract, so buying one now would really not be the best option. That, and I got my iPhone 4 just barely a year ago now.
The 64 gig, faster processor and SIRI functions are really cool... But cool enough? Realistically I'd need to get the 4S for cheap or free. I could go and buy extra iPhones to resell them, but again, is it worth the work?
And is it fair to take iPhones out of the hands of people who want one? Or would I just be leaving extras to have the bigger poachers to get?
As far as my feelings toward apple on this, they did it with the 3GS and the same brouhaha happened, yet the 3GS did quite well. I honestly believe thIs means apple is going to take the time to make the iPhone 5 a seriously killer phone.
This allows the people on 3* version to upgrade to something decently better and allows those who have a 4 to be able to take a breather before feeling that Apple urge to upgrade to the newest and best. I know that's how I feel right now :)
And although the form factor is about the same, the speed increases and such ARE welcome changes. They did this with the iPad 2 and boy did everyone whine and complain about the lack of upgrades and changes... But look at the adoption rates. I upgraded and passed down my iPad to my wife and kids, giving me a newer device that will just have to take the place for higher process-needing apps that won't run on the 4.
I know I just had a circular discussion with myself. Shut up :P
Can't upgrade yet... AT&T still has my left nut.
I was seriously hoping for a larger screen size, 4" would have been sweet. But nothing new. Update the iOS and tell us how great it is, after waiting for 16 months, only to get the same thing.
I'm not due for an upgrade yet, but I'd have went for it anyway if the 4" screen were part of the new package. Instead, I'll wait for the iPhone 5. And hopefully not nearly another year and a half. By that long, even I may be on Android.
The only thing i'm disappointed about is the same screen size. I was really hoping for the edge to edge 4 inch screen. I like the iP4 design. It makes it super easy to put on those full body screen protectors. Yeah, disappointed about the screen though. Also disappointed they added the 64GB option at a $100 premium. It should have taken the 32GB price point after having the 32GB option for like 3 years now. I'll get one if I can't enable Siri via jailbreak on my 4.
That always happens. It spikes before the announcements as everyone is hyping everything and expecting ponies and ice cream. Then after the announcements it falls as everyone complains that it doesn't come with ponies and ice cream. Then a week later everyone has forgotten and stock keeps on it's seemingly endless climb.
Bah humbug.
Maybe I am just bitter as I sold all mine a long time ago at $119 due to divorce and haven't been able to get back in the game..
I have never seen a product announcement from Apple where half the people didn't take to forums to bitch that it didn't come with ponies and ice cream. No matter how good the product may be, if you had your heart set on ponies and ice cream - you will feel let down.
I have a 3GS, i'll be upgrading to the 4S... if I had the 4, I wouldn't bother.
Way to suck Apple. Gimme a f'n break!
Here is my thought on the whole iOS 5-only-on-iPhone 4S thing:
The current hardware of the iPhone 4 (including its 3G connection) is more than enough to run Siri. Hell, my Nexus One on an EDGE connection can do voice commands like Siri does, so why the exclusivity? This may not be a novel conclusion, but I think the exclusivity to iPhone 4S is solely to coerce people to buy the 4S who otherwise wouldn't. I mean, how many iPhone4 owners would really upgrade to the iPhone 4S if they were getting Siri in the new update?
I'm going to slap iOS 5 on my iPhone 4 and call it good. I'm still under contract and don't feel like shelling out that kind of cash.
Though I will admit, Siri does look pretty amazing.
I have a 3GS and the battery is terrible. I'll upgrade but I think Apple messed up on this one. Their belief in not looking to the public (focus groups, surveys) is going to bite them in the butt this time.
1: iPhone
2: iPhone 3G (named for the wireless technology term "3G")
3: iPhone 3GS (basically same as a "3G" but faster, so added an S for "Speed")
4: iPhone 4 (the 4th iPhone so they called it 4)
5: iPhone 4S (basically the same as a 4 but faster, so an added S for "Speed")
Based on this pattern I would think they would call the next one a 6. The thing is this, Apple tends to name products just the names - like iMac. There have been like 30 iMac versions, and they are still just iMac. MacBook. MacBook Pro. MacBook Air. They don't change the name every time they enhance the product. Even the iPod basically keeps the same name mostly. The iPhone is the deviation from that normal Apple way. I think eventually they will move from having a new name every version, and simplify it a bit. I never liked that they tied the "3G" to the name because that was a technology that was out of Apple's control and seemed an odd choice for a product name. As a result people call the "4" "4G" because they don't know any better - and the whole mess around what is and isn't actually 4G doesn't help either.
No 4G no bigger screen no new back why couldn't they just include these new features in the iOS update. I will not be purchasing the 4s because it's not worth it I'd rather get the iOS 5 and stick with the iPhone 4 until something better comes out. Big let down on this one i can't believe it's not even 4g and how long do u actually play games on ur iPhone and with all the apps that we have to increase the picture quality what's the use of the new camera
No. Was waiting for next release regardless of the form factor released on 4October
"fail" "underwhelming" "disappointing".... wait til the 4S gets into the consumers hands before dissing it. A lot of people said the same thing when the 3Gs came out in almost 2.5 years ago. It's still selling. What other phone maker can say that they're still selling a 2 and a half year old model? The 4S will do the same. It will be the phone that sets the standard for the competition. Nobody makes their new tech features work together and easier than Apple. Nobody.
I feel cheated waiting this long (3gs) for upgrade, give us something revolutionary like you've been doing for almost ever. Dont sell us average you profit monkees, apple means more than that and you've done well making revolutionary products. Only reason the 3gs worked was because the 3g was snail like speed and the 3gs was still way ahead of its competition. Make something good when you only release 1 phone every year.....extremely dissapointed with this new iphone :(
Frankly speaking, who the heck will talk to a machine? I know siri is smart, but it just makes the users feel like a dumb
I'm starting to think the "s" stands for SUCKER!!
Why is it that its only apple users that are classed as fanboys when android users bang on (and on and on...) just as much as everyone else?
I'm sticking with my 3GS until I see the reviews, not keen on cheap feeling samsung phones or cheaper HTC, I'd rather have an apple product because they have far superior build quality.
This 4s does everything that people wanted out of the iPhone 5, just in the iPhone 4's skin....and that's my only issue. I don't like the feel of the iPhone 4, I much prefer the asthetics of the 3GS but I'm not gonna be able to run this phone forever as it's so far out of date.
Switch to Android. You wont regret it.
The iPhone 4S is obsolete before it even came out. When you are touting specs that were around 5-6 months ago, you did something HORRIBLY wrong. The Galaxy S2 was released internationally in May of this year. Has a top of the line AMOLED screen, dual core 1.5gHz processor, 8MP camera, great battery life (that I'm pretty sure is removable), voice recognition technology.... need I go on? All those specs are the SAME on the iPhone 4S, and I don't think it is as thin and sleek as the Galaxy S2.
This phone SHOULD have set the bar for the next year, but instead it is equal to a phone that came out 6 months ago (not even equal, as I said, the design is thinner and sleeker than the iPhone 4S plus better battery life) Instead, it will get blown away completely by the Nexus Prime that will in all likelihood be announced next week.
To those of you who don't see this, feel free to have the wool removed from your eyes next week when the real cutting edge phone will be announced by Google/Samsung.
I still have a iPhone 3G, some I'm gonna get the iPhone 4S.
Other: satisfied with my iPhone 4 and my contract isn't up yet.
Waiting for iPhone 5 with LTE. Only way to go.

Preston Hawkins retired from the Georgia Department of Transportation as a construction engineer with 34 years of service and worked as a consultant for the engineering management firm of Moreland Altobelli Associates for 14 years.
He ran for chairman of the board in 2004 and won the election in a runoff over Al Andrews.
Hawkins reflected on his terms in office during an interview last week and said he feels one of his biggest accomplishments since being elected was getting the North Gray Bypass back on track.
The project was stalled at the Georgia Department of Transportation, but the chairman's knowledge and connections in the department, with assistance from Jim Cole, breathed new life into the project.
Hawkins said he met with a GDOT agent last week and was told all but three of the 80 rights of way involved had been acquired. He said those three would probably be condemned.

I saw an MFM on Tuesday to go over my records, talk about what happened, and ask questions about a potential future pregnancy. I didn't really feel emotionally ready for this appointment, but I felt compelled to do it partially in the hope of helping me process the whole big trauma.
The MFM immediately expressed sympathy for my loss and acknowledged how difficult this whole thing is. She was very caring, and she was also very surprised that I made an appointment with her so soon after losing Molly. I had mixed feelings about doing this; on the one hand, I wanted to talk about what happened and understand more because the whole experience was very traumatic and I'm still trying to figure out and accept what happened. I also feel pressure due to my age and other factors about not waiting too long before trying to conceive again. On the other hand, I'm not emotionally ready *at all* to try for another baby because all I can think about is having my sweet baby Molly back.
There were several times when we were going over the events leading up to me developing HELLP that she seemed surprised that my previous OB missed certain clues and wasn't more prompt in intervening. However, then she'd mask her surprise and stress that even if they had been more vigilant it probably wouldn't have made any difference. She told me that obstetrics is far from being an exact science and apologized that there wasn't more that could be done.
And she said that, though ACOG doesn't currently recommend testing for underlying clotting and immune disorders due to the fact that there just isn't concrete evidence of a link, she doesn't see the harm in looking into these things; so she is sending a recommendation to my new ob/gyn about what tests to order. More than these things, though, she was concerned about my family history of high blood pressure. Even though I had low blood pressure before the pregnancy, she said it's likely that the pregnancy unmasked my genetic tendency for hypertension and that it was important to make sure my blood pressure was controlled before ttc. My blood pressure still hasn't returned to what it was before I got pregnant, so I might have to go on medication.
She also told me very kindly but firmly that I have to prepare myself for this happening again, since there's no known way to prevent pre-e. She wanted to make sure I understood the risks, and while I'm certainly appreciative of the fact that she wasn't "blowing sunshine up my butt" (which I never want someone to do to me ever, ever again), I feel discouraged and afraid. She even said that the hope would be that we would be able to safely manage my symptoms long enough to get me to at least 25 weeks with a future pregnancy so that if I had to deliver early again, the baby would have a chance at survival, and that she'd be thrilled if I got as far as 32 weeks. Yikes!
My primary doctor asked me right away about conceiving again, and both she and my new ob/gyn said it was okay to start trying after 6 months, but the MFM encouraged me to wait at least 9 months. She said that if I have another pregnancy too soon, I might have a really difficult time emotionally and pregnancy is already hard enough. She also said that, because my body experienced so much trauma with the preeclampsia/HELLP and the c-section, I need to give it more time to completely recover. I think she's right, but I feel torn in several different directions. I'll be 40 soon, and it took a while to conceive Molly so it might take a while next time--or I might not be able to conceive again at all. One of my aunties went through early menopause at 41, so that freaks me out. Plus, I've read there is a theory that the risk of having preeclampsia with a future pregnancy is reduced if the pregnancies are closer together.
Aside from that, she recommended that I start on low-dose aspirin before conceiving, as well as higher doses of calcium (which she said is okay as long as I'm not prone to kidney stones). I asked her about the supplement L-arginine and she hadn't heard of it, but said that she is open to trying things as long as it won't cause harm to either mom or baby. I also asked her about high doses of folic acid and she said she didn't see harm in that--since it's a water-soluble vitamin, my body would just pee out what it didn't need. When I mentioned the use of heparin, she was very skeptical due to the risks involved.
All in all, I did really like the MFM and it seemed like she would (at the request of my OB), monitor a future pregnancy extremely closely. But basically, she said that's all they can really do.
I'm still trying to process everything. It's a bit overwhelming. Any thoughts?
