Sectional boys basketball: MHS boys squander lead, game
February 20, 2013
LOGAN — The Marietta Tigers seemed to be in control in a sectional tournament against New Lexington Tuesday night, but the Panthers were able to rally in the final period to leave Logan High School......
I'm so glad you responded happygirl and glad you broght up about how many talented players there are at MHS that give up basketball when they reach Varsity level because they don't want to play for Secrest. Does "Murphy" honestly think that Warren has an abundance of talent year after year after year? They have a coaching staff that works with them and brings out their best, instills confidance in them and the players want to do their best. This may come as a surprse, but it isn't just the Marietta people that think Secrest is a poor coach. If you talk with people from other schools we play/have played, many have no respect for him, either personally or professionally. As far as Secrest knowing so much about basketball....I would bet there are lots of us parents, friends, community people in the stands that played HS and college ball that know the game equally well and can easily see the mistakes the coach makes.

I think there are talented basketball players at MHS. The boys that are playing are talented as well as the boys that chose not to play because of the coach and his choices. To say that we don't have an abundance of talent is unfair. Where did the coach work before he came to Marietta? What was his record where he previously worked? Did he get hired for his winning record?
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Marietta High School does not have an abundance of talent. It does not match up well against our competition. In time this will change, but not tomorrow or the day after that. Secrest knows the game, perhaps better than most. He is bright and aware of his team's strengths and weak points. Part of the weakness he faces is brought on by Marietta parents and Marietta citizens who write comments and speak openly in negative ways...this is destructive. Look, have confidence in a good coach and an even better fella..have patience. Again, regardless of sport there is not much talent at the high school and it is going to get worse before it gets better. Anger is not going to provide better athletes. There are just not enough of them at mhs. Period. But there are a lot of wonderful young men and women. Work with them and make sure they have a positive environment, not a nasty, cutting one. If the college's head basketball coach were at MHS he too would not win.

Perhaps if Secrest would have concentrated more on who and what he had THIS year instead of trying to look ahead to NEXT year, they would have had a better record.

OAKLAND -- Messages of love and remembrance were posted at a sidewalk memorial on Monday where 15-year-old Denzell Jones and 35-year-old Kanem Ayers were fatally shot Saturday night as they stood outside a Boys and Girls Club in West Oakland.
Police released the victims' names on Monday and said no arrests have been made in the killings, which happened about 10:45 p.m. Saturday outside the club in the 900 block of 24th Street at Market Street.
The memorial, on the Market Street side of the clubhouse, included pictures, posters for writing condolences, candles and apples. The messages were written on the posters dedicated to Denzell, a sophomore at McClymonds High School who was known as "Bean," and Ayers, known as "KK." Notes were left by relatives, friends and people who did not really know them but were saddened by what happened.
Small groups of mourners stood talking to each other, occasionally exchanging waves with people driving by.
Both Denzell and Ayers lived in the area and knew each other.
Police said the pair were standing on the sidewalk when someone approached them on foot and began shooting. Both died at the scene.
Police still have not established a motive.
Oakland schools spokesman Troy Flint said grief counselors were made available at McClymonds for students and others who knew the teenager.
Denzell had picked up an application on Thursday to join the branch that the shooting happened outside of but had not returned it yet, said Calvester Stanley, President and Chief Professional Officer of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Oakland.
Stanley said the community is "losing far too many young people" and his organization wants to do all it can to "help heal and change the (violent) culture that seems to be prevailing. We're just hoping we can do something. Life is too valuable and worth living."
The deaths were the 10th and 11th homicides so far this year in Oakland.
Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland are offering up to $20,000 in reward money for information leading to the arrest of the killer. Anyone with information may call police at 510-2383821 or Crime Stoppers at 510-777-8572.

The College of Charleston men's basketball team (6-4, 1-0 SoCon) will close out its pre-Holiday slate with Coastal Carolina (4-5, 0-0 Big South) in a matinee matchup scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 22 at TD Arena. The Cougars and Chanticleers will tip-off at noon (ET) and the game will be carried live on the Charleston Sports Network on MyTV Charleston locally and ESPN3 nationally via WatchESPN.com. CofC recently snapped a two-game skid with a 76-65 win over Old Dominion on Dec. 18, getting a boost with the return of its two preseason All-Southern Conference performers in Andrew Lawrence and Trent Wiedeman in the lineup. Both teams will have played each other exactly a year ago as the Cougars prevailed with a 77-70 victory on Coastal's home court going into last year's holiday break. CofC has been shooting well on all cylinders with a 44.1 percent accuracy rate from the floor and 38.7 percent accuracy from downtown which ranks second-best in the Southern Conference. The team also limited their turnovers in their last contest against the Monarchs and shot 53.1 percent from the field - their second-best percentage of the season and continues to see dominating and consistent performances by sophomore big man Adjehi Baru, who leads the league in rebounding averaging 9.9 boards per game.
Coastal Carolina will be only three days removed from an impressive 23-point rout of Clemson (69-46) on Dec. 19. Defensively, the Chanticleers held the Tigers to just 32.1 percent shooting from the floor and 19 percent from beyond the arc in their home win over a major-conference opponent and second-straight in the series. Coastal is currently on a two-game win streak that includes a 75-38 victory over Toccoa Falls College on Dec. 13. The Chanticleers are ranked among the top 100 NCAA statistical leaders in rebounds per game (72nd, 38.4) and field-goal percentage (97th, 45.4). They are led by senior guard Anthony Raffa who is one of three players on the squad averaging double figures in scoring at 20.9 points per game which is also tops in the Big South Conference and ranks 10th-best nationally.
Local affiliate MyTV Charleston can be viewed locally over the air on Channel 36.1, on Channel 36 for DirecTV, Dish Network and AT&T U-verse subscribers as well as Channel 13 for Comcast, Knology and Time Warner cable subscribers in the Charleston, South Carolina, television market.

CofC will then travel to Marist for a New Year's Eve matchup on Dec. 31 in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
• Coach Wojcik has never faced Coastal Carolina in his eight years as a Division I head coach. However, he is an undefeated 3-0 against Big South Conference schools with a pair of wins versus Presbyterian in back-to-back seasons at Tulsa in 2007-08 and 2008-09 and CofC's most recent win over crosstown rival Charleston Southern on Nov. 28.
• Coastal Carolina associate head coach Don Hogan played for Bob McKillop in high school and he and Matt Doherty were McKillop's first assistant coaches at Davidson in the early 90s. Coach Wojcik met Hogan through his time as an assistant coach at Navy, because they were both recruiting the same kind of kids to their respective programs. That led him to meeting Doherty and then becoming an assistant coach for him at Notre Dame from 1999-2000 and then on to North Carolina from 2000-03.
• Coastal Carolina will be CofC's second opponent hailing from the Big South this season next to a 72-67 (+5) road win at Charleston Southern. In fact, the Cougars have won eight-straight contests against Big South opponents since their 70-59 loss at Coastal Carolina on Nov. 13, 2009, including victories over Winthrop (2009), Charleston Southern (2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012), Coastal (2010 and 2011) and UNC Asheville (2011) at the Battle 4 Atlantis in Paradise Island, Bahamas.
CofC 76, Old Dominion 65
• For the sixth time this season, the Cougars used the starting lineup of sophomore Anthony Stitt, senior Andrew Lawrence, junior Anthony Thomas, redshirt junior Willis Hall and sophomore forward Adjehi Baru (5-1). Lawrence returned to the lineup after missing the Anderson game recovering from a minor ankle injury.
• With the win, CofC now leads 1-0 in the all-time series against Old Dominion and went 2-0 versus Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) opponents in non-conference play this season. The Cougars will join its new league on July 1, 2013.
• The Cougars turned in their second-highest field-goal percentage of the season shooting 53.1 percent (26-of-49) for the game and 61.5 percent in the second half.
• CofC also cut down on its miscues with their third-fewest turnovers of the season (15) against ODU.
• Adjehi Baru was just short of another double-double with a game-high 20 points and nine rebounds. He shot a career-high 8-of-8 from the floor and an improved 4-for-5 from the free throw line. Baru is currently on a career-best three-game double-digit scoring streak. He is only the second CofC player this season to turn in a 20-point game next to Andrew Lawrence.
• Anthony Thomas also turned in career-highs in points (13) and blocked shots (3) against the Monarchs.
• After missing the last six games of the season recovering from an ankle injury against Auburn on Nov. 16, junior forward Trent Wiedeman made his return checking into the lineup at the 17:27 minute mark of the first half. He ended the night with seven points in 18 minutes of action.
• Andrew Lawrence had a career-high tying five steals against the Monarchs in his return after missing the Anderson game with a minor ankle injury from the Louisville game on Dec. 4. He recorded his 300th career assist with six assists for a total of 303 to date.
• ODU was only the second opponent this season, next to Louisville, to outrebound CofC, 31-29 (-2). The Monarchs came into the game as the No. 58-ranked team in the country in rebounds per game (38.9).
"The tell-tale for them is that they beat Akron in their first game of the season. Akron is a very good mid-major program and Coastal was only down a couple at Ole Miss earlier this year. They absolutely annihilated and played harder than Clemson. Any team that has two senior guards who have played together for four years, as if they were brothers, are very dangerous. (Kierre) Greenwood is the straw that stirs their drink. He is the head that controls their body. (Anthony) Raffa is the guy who makes shots and gives them energy. He also makes plays and gives everyone courage. Obviously, Coach (Cliff) Ellis is a very experienced coach and we have our work cut out for us on Saturday." - CofC Head Coach Doug Wojcik on scouting Coastal Carolina
"The second half was a real tell-tale for us. You go through three or four halves between the Louisville game and Anderson game, we were really out of it, playing so well after winning four straight. I think we came out a little tight, but those two free throws that allowed us to run into the locker room tied, settled us down. When you look at our shooting it's pretty impressive. We are shooting the ball well from three at all seven positions except for Adjehi (Baru) and Trent (Wiedeman). We are above 33 percent and we are a dangerous team. If we take care of it like we did the other day and we continue to rebound, we have a lot to look forward to." - Coach Wojcik on how the team responded against Old Dominion on Tuesday
"Coastal is a really dangerous team and coming off a big win against Clemson. They have now beaten them two years in a row. They have two senior guards and will be a big challenge for us. We really needed that win on Tuesday. It gives us a lot of confidence going in and beating a good ODU team. We exploded in the second half with a lot of points which gave a lot of us more confidence. We are looking to build on and bring that success into Saturday's game." - Senior Point Guard Andrew Lawrence on having played Coastal Carolina the last three years and how big the Old Dominion win was for the team's confidence
"The win on Tuesday was definitely big for us. It gave us a lot more confidence after we lost our last game the previous Thursday (to Anderson). ODU is kind of struggling this year, but they are still a good team and have a really great post player. We executed offensively against them, which was what we needed to do, because we can't just rely on our defense. Coastal always comes out and plays hard. They have two senior guards this year in (Kierre) Greenwood and (Anthony) Raffa. They will definitely bring intensity and be aggressive out there on Saturday." - Junior Guard/Forward Nori Johnson on the Old Dominion win and what to expect against Coastal Carolina

A man who once served as the top aide to disgraced former Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard has been sentenced to three years of probation in a federal corruption case.
Tim Whitmer also was fined $5,000 Thursday morning. He pleaded guilty last year to concealing fraud, theft involving government programs and other crimes.
Broussard was sentenced earlier this year to serve 46 months for conspiracy and theft charges in a plot to give a lucrative parish job to his former wife and pay her for work she never did. Whitmer cooperated with investigators in the case against Broussard.
Aaron Broussard assigned to Butner Federal Correctional Complex

BERKELEY -- David Mayeri, president of a nonprofit organization planning a renaissance of the long-shuttered UC Theatre, got his start with Bill Graham Presents as a student at Berkeley High in the early 1970s.
"I was a 16-year-old kid who got paid $10 cash to unload the truck for the Bill Graham concerts at the Berkeley Community Theatre," Mayeri said in an interview held at the 97-year-old UC Theatre. "I'd unload the truck, set the stage, usher the show, tear down the stage, repack the truck. Sixteen hours of work, and I would have paid ten bucks to do it."
Mayeri eventually became chief operating officer at Bill Graham Presents, a concert promotion and production enterprise. "Bill Graham Presents was a great place to learn," Mayeri said. "Bill Graham was a great teacher."
Mayeri's latest venture began in 2009 when he planned to renovate the theater at 2036 University Ave., for which he has a long-term lease, as a for-profit company. He got city zoning permits and initial funding but was unable to raise the needed capital.
In 2012 Mayeri adopted a broader approach. He incorporated the Berkeley Music Group as a nonprofit. In addition to producing events -- mostly music but also comedy, film and speakers -- he's planning to train young people in event production and to use the venue to support other nonprofit arts organizations.
Mayeri said he's planning 75 to 100 events annually that will showcase a "diverse range of music -- everything from Americana to zydeco."
Noting the Freight & Salvage with 440 seats, the Berkeley Community Theatre with 3,500 and the Greek Theatre with 8,500, Mayeri said there's a need downtown for the midsize UC Theatre, which seats 1,460. And the space can be configured with tables and dance space for about 800 people, he said.
The education arm of the nonprofit group plans to partner with Berkeley Youth Alternatives, Oakland-based Youth UpRising and the Berkeley YMCA-PG&E Teen Center to train young people ages 17-25 in event production. Many students would have scholarships, Mayeri said.
Despite raising a little more than half his $5.2 million goal, Mayeri says he'll start renovations this summer and open in 2015.
"We're confident that we'll get the support," he said. "We have some backup plans ... and there's a great positive response from the community."
The city has stepped up to help, deferring payment for building permits. Mayeri said he's "in conversation" with the city for additional support but is not ready to reveal details.
City Economic Development Manager Michael Caplan said reopening the theater will contribute to downtown revitalization.
"It's no mistake that the downtown restaurant scene is so vital because of the success of the arts district, which brings a lot of people in for evening entertainment before they go to the show," he said.
The project will build on the UC Theatre's long history, which began in 1917, when it was a cinema showing first-run films. In 1976 Gary Meyer acquired the theater as one of the first in the Landmark Theatres chain, where he was a partner.
"There was a time when just about every refrigerator in Berkeley was affixed with a UC Theatre schedule," Carolyn Jones wrote in the San Francisco Chronicle in 2009. "People went for the Swedish triple features, Hitchcock festivals and animation marathons. They donned wigs for 'Rocky Horror,' brought umbrellas for 'Singing in the Rain' and endured six-hour samurai epics."
In 2001, four years after Meyer left the company, Landmark boarded up the theater rather than investing the hundreds of thousands of dollars needed for a seismic upgrade, according to Mayeri's news release. It was subsequently seismically retrofitted.
In 2002, the theater facade was designated a city landmark.
The question of whether the Berkeley Music Group can raise the capital it needs remains. Caplan says it can. "They'll get going and do the final fundraising over the course of construction," he said, adding that the project is at a "pivot point."
"The economy's stronger," Caplan said, "and (Mayeri is) more than halfway there in terms of his investor base. And he's built new strategic partnerships with other nonprofits. People are excited about the project."

Middle English (denoting a flat, thin sheet, usually of metal): from Old French, from medieval Latin plata 'plate armor', based on Greek platus 'flat'. sense 1 of the noun represents Old French plat 'platter, large dish', also 'dish of meat', noun use of Old French plat 'flat'.
A plate first described a flat, thin sheet, usually made of metal. It goes back, via medieval Latin plata 'plate armour', to Greek platus 'flat'. Plate as in dinner plate is from the Old French form, plat which meant both platter (ME from the same source) 'large dish', and 'dish of meat'. Plateau (late 18th century) is from Old French platel, a 'little plate'. Platform (mid 16th century) is from French plateforme 'ground plan' (literally 'flat shape'), and platitude (early 19th century) is from plat in the sense of a dull, flat form of expression. Early explorers of Australia found they had to find names for many new animals. They turned to local languages for some names ( see kangaroo), but for others they invented new Latin and Greek terms as in the duck-billed platypus. The name given to the animal by George Shaw in 1799 in his Naturalist's Miscellany and is a Latinate form of the Greek platupous 'flat-footed' formed from platus and pous 'foot', describing the shape of its large, webbed feet.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Friday, Oct. 12, 2012
MARTINEZ, Ga. -- What better way to get a community together than chocolate? But behind the chocolate fountains and martinis is a serious problem that can not be sugar-coated.
"Seventy-five dollars is a lot of money. It's a cheap price to pay to help children," Judge Doug Flanagan said.
That's the price of a ticket to Child Enrichment Inc.'s biggest fundraiser of the year, The Art of Chocolate, but even though it's a sweet event, it's helping a serious problem.
"Child Enrichment Inc. serves the abused, neglected and sexually abused children from the region," explained Executive Director Dan Hillman. "We're in an epidemic of child sexual abuse, and we haven't been as a society ready to accept it. We're kind of in denial."
Chocolate, however, is hard to deny, so Child Enrichment Inc. is using this sweet treat as a way to get people talking.
"It's a subject matter that most people are uncomfortable with, so this is a way we can center around the organization, have a chance to talk about it," Board President Troy Breitmann said.
The problem is closer than you might think.
"Believe it or not there is a neglected or abused child in your neighborhood. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor or educated or not," Helen Flanagan said.
"Today we have over 200 children in those three counties that we're serving, so it's a significant problem and an expensive one to deal with," Hillman said.
That's where this fundraiser helps. Between the auctioned items and the ticket money, it raises nearly $40,000 for the organization.
All the money goes to help the children, but Hillman wants to do more than help children recover. He's working toward prevention.
"The kids we see have already been abused. We need to move towards prevention, and for prevention to work, it's going to take all adults," he said.
Every bite of chocolate is getting him closer to his goal.
"I think it's a wonderful feeling, and I like chocolate, too," Judge Flanagan said.
"It's a sweet bite," his wife said.
The fundraiser is also a way to recruit volunteers. Last year more than 400 people offered to help out. They're hoping this year will be just as successful.
If you couldn't make it there tonight, you can still help. Child Enrichment Inc. is always looking for help and donations. If you're interested in finding out more, check out their website here.

Gerhard's Cafe celebrating 20 years Saturday
Published: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.

Gerhard and Mary Grommer opened Gerhard's Cafe on March 13, 1993.
Want to go?
What: Gerhard's Cafe's 20th anniversary celebration
When: 4 p.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday
Where: Gerhard's Cafe, 1200 E. Main St.
Info: Call 591-1920 or visit www.gerhardscafe.net

The European-American restaurant will celebrate its 20th anniversary Saturday. The Grommers will be rolling back prices to those on the original menu and giving away free beer to the first 100 customers.
Gerhard Grommer met Mary in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., on a cruise ship. He was a corporate chef, and she was a nurse.
"Gerhard always wanted to move to South Carolina because of the hospitality," Mary said. So when a friend told him a space was for sale, he jumped at the chance. "Twenty years later," she laughs, "and we're still here!"
The bar has an Old World atmosphere. The wooden floor, animal heads on the walls, and knickknacks including old skis and a popcorn machine all came from friends in Austria. The restaurant has gradually expanded to include a bar and indoor and outdoor patios.
"The bar used to be where the banquet room is now," Mary said, and "now the bar is where a Pet Pros and Home & Garden used to be."
Mary takes care of the front of the house, while her husband minds the back.
The menu includes European dishes, including spaetzle, homemade German noodles saut�ed with butter and onions; and geschnetzles, Swiss veal. A current special is Knackwurst or Weisswurst served with Sauerkraut and Dijon Mustard for $9.95. The restaurant also has seafood delivered five days a week from Murrells Inlet, on the coast.
For the anniversary, Budweiser is donating the 100 glasses, and the free beer served will be Stella Artois. The highlights of the original menu include wiener schnitzel served with fried potatoes and hunter's medallion of pork loin with mushrooms, ham, onions and spaetzle.

This article was originally published in Corp! Magazine.
Not so long ago, a friend of mine walked into a meeting moving with all the fluidity and grace of the Tin Woodsman after a rainstorm. He was doing a credible job of moving forward while doing his best to not actually move his legs. As a form of locomotion, I would not have believed it possible if I hadn�t seen it.
�What happened?� I asked.
�I was practicing layups last night, and this morning I couldn�t move.�
A serious amateur basketball player, he had done some serious practice the night before. Unfortunately, he had neglected to warm up: he was in a hurry and felt that he didn�t have time to do a slow warm-up. Instead, he had �warmed up� by doing a number of fast, sharp moves, which ended up straining his lower back and legs. It was no wonder he was having trouble walking. The time he �saved� by not warming up, he paid back with interest over the next several days.
At this point, I suspect many readers are nodding sagely and thinking that only an idiot forgets to warm up before an activity. Unfortunately, they�d be wrong. Very smart people, very knowledgeable people forget to warm up. Furthermore, it�s not just individual athletes who forget to warm up; teams do as well. Moreover, it�s not just athletic teams that occasionally forget. Work teams routinely forget to perform the functional equivalent of warming up; even worse, most of them believe that it�s not necessary. In sports, many an athlete has learned the hard way that no matter how often you can get away without warming up, it only takes one time when you didn�t get away with it to drive home the error of your ways.
Unfortunately, businesses tend to be slower learners, perhaps because the pain is not so obviously connected to the actions taken or not taken. What does it mean for a team to warm up? In sports, the answer is pretty easy. They run, they stretch, they practice the skills of their sport. They might eventually play practice games.
In business, however, it�s less obvious. However, just as athletic warm-ups are based in understanding the activities that the athlete needs to perform, the equivalent behaviors can be deduced for a business team. In sports, an athletic team needs to be able to function as a seamless unit, each member automatically moving to where they need to be. Top basketball players often seem to have an almost uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time to assist one another.
In a business, it�s critical that a team be able to bring the right person or right combination of people to bear on any given problem. That can only happen if the members of the team are fully knowledgeable about one another�s strengths and weaknesses, are comfortable asking each other for help, and feel safe in admitting that they might need help. The last point is critical: far too often members of a team are seen as less competent or less capable if they ask for help. I�ve been in many companies where the stated attitude was that you were hired to do a job, and if you need help, you don�t belong here. That�s rather like Michael Jordan trying to sink the basket without any help from the rest of his team. If the rest of the team wasn�t backing him up, he wouldn�t be so successful.
Therefore, for a business team to �warm up,� they need to focus on preparing their teamwork skills so that those skills will be there under pressure. That means spending time getting to know one another and developing an appreciation of one another�s skills, interests, accomplishments, perspectives, and working styles. That includes, by the way, skills, interests, and accomplishments that are not obviously work related. Knowing that a coworker is a chess master, for example, tells you something about their ability to concentrate, plan tactics, execute strategy, anticipate problems, and deal with distractions. Knowing that someone is a marathon runner might tell you a great deal about their tenacity and ability to focus. Team members can only truly become comfortable with one another when they know each other as individuals, not as someone hired to do a job.
As paradoxical as it might seem, the secret of a successful team is strong individual connection! Just as top athletes look for ways to assist their teammates, so too must members of business teams practice helping one another. That means getting past the �I can do it myself!� attitude: it may be endearing in a 4 year old, but it�s extremely frustrating in a coworker. No matter how much you can do on your own, you can do more when backed by a strong team. We would have no patience with a basketball player who lost the game because they turned down an assist. Indeed, someone who took an �I can do it all myself� attitude would probably be cut from the team.
Finally, management needs to think about how it�s evaluating the team and its members. Are they being evaluated on individual contribution only? It�s extremely hard to help someone else score if only the scorer gets the credit. It�s hard to accept help if that�s seen as reducing one�s own status on the team. Part of enabling a team to �warm up� its helping skills is removing any obstacles that may be in the way of using those skills. What if the team doesn�t bother to warm up? Will disaster necessarily ensue? Of course not. You might not have any problem at all, nine times out ten. Unfortunately, there is no way of knowing in advance which time is the tenth time.
How are you helping your team warm up?

Apple posts video of OS X Yosemite redesign [Video]
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Design, PC / Laptop, Software, Videos
Apple has posted the OS X Yosemite design video that it showed during the WWDC 2014 keynote, which shows a bunch of the new features and design elements found in OS X 10.10. In case you haven't seen WWDC (although you can watch the WWDC 2014 keynote video in its entirety,) this video covers the larger design language updates, and the more subtle changes to the dock, icons, traffic light buttons, etc. It also gives a look at the new AirDrop functionality, Finder, Messages, Notification Center, and all the rest of the OS X new hotness.
You can check out the video after the jump.

LG G3 sports best-in-class smartphone battery life
Posted by Ariel Levin-Waldman Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds
The unlimited leaks surrounding the LG G3 left little to the imagination. We got a very in depth look at the massive smartphone, with a quad-core processor boasting 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, and 5.5-inch 2K display. Very impressive numbers. Those are the kind of systems that consume a lot of power.
Power has always been the greatest limitation of electronic devices, but the G3 is certainly pushing those limits. It boasts the kind of battery life you'd expect from a tablet, weighing in at 8 hours and fifty minutes. This beats out the 8 hours and 20 minutes of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Sony Xperia's 8 hours and 10 quite handily. My iPhone gives me about five.
It also takes the lead in charge time. From empty to full the G3 finished its tests in 120 minutes, two faster than the next fastest (the S5 again). The Xperia took close to four hours.
LG has not revealed all their secrets regarding the G3, but they say they have replaced a lot of metal on the insides with graphite, as well as implemented adaptive frame rate based on the phone's usage.
Skype completely redesigns iPhone app
Posted by Ariel Levin-Waldman Categories: Social Networking, App Updates, Free Apps
Skype has decided to overhaul its iOS app, bringing it to version 5.0. Recently, the communications company has been upgrading its mobile app for other platforms, namely Android and Windows Phone, but until now Apple has been left behind.
The first thing you might notice is the new interface. They have completely changed the looks to bring it in line with the newer iOS design language. The next thing is the software changes. You can now start group chats directly from the central hub and don't have to wait until a friends is online before you can message them. Apparently offline messaging was something that was only developed in 2014.
Skype 5.0 also has some software upgrades that are not obvious upon opening the app. It is better at synching your messages between devices and has had its coding redesigned to work up to five times faster, according to a teaser video released Monday evening.
But after tempting you with all the upgrades and good news, Skype is going to leave you hanging. It will be another week before the new Skype for the iPhone is released to the public.

Exclusive: I used Microsoft's Surface watch
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Wearables, Features, Microsoft, Rumors
Yes, it's true—Microsoft is about to get into the smartwatch game, and I got the opportunity to play with it. As we'd previously reported, Microsoft has filed a patent that details a smartwatch. However, often these patent filings aren't exactly what we see companies end up releasing. So, let's separate the cruft and get to the meat of the matter. A number of months ago I took a trip to New York where I came across someone who was testing the upcoming Microsoft wearable device. I saw it on their wrist and asked about it. They tried to explain that it was a random fitness wristband ordered from China at first, but eventually (with some prodding) gave me the scoop. Here is your exclusive first look at what Microsoft is planning for its first wearable smart device, what we are referring to as the Surface Watch:
- As far as looks, the image above is a parody, but not far off. It has an elongated form factor, but isn't as comically large as what's in the image. It is much more akin to something like the Fitbit One or Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit in shape rather than taking on the shape of a traditional watch, like Pebble did, or like what Google showed off with Android Wear. What we saw had a flat display, while the inner portion that would rest against your skin was curved.
- The icons are the flat style that Microsoft has been using on its other devices like Windows 8, Windows Phone, and Xbox One. That's what tipped me off in the first place.
- Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy is how it interacts with the rest of the world
- The flat glass display, and was definitely not high resolution. We hope that both of these change in the final product--a high-resolution curved display already exists on the Samsung Gear Fit, and the Microsoft device just didn't look as good.
- The watch is packed with sensors. It has a heart rate monitor, accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, and most interestingly, a galvanic skin response sensor all built-in. The galvanic skin response sensor is built into the watch band, while everything else is built into the unit itself.

Apple planning to introduce iWatch wearable in October
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Wearables, Rumors
Industry sources are aligning, and it appears that Apple is prepping to release its first wearable watch (which many are referring to as the iWatch) this October. According to Re/code and Nikkei, Apple is planning a special event to debut and show off all the features of the new device in October--by our own estimation, this would be a month after the iPhone 6 and iOS 8 launch, and could be within the same timeframe that Apple launches the new Touch ID-enabled iPads.
People familiar with Apple's plans tell Re/Code the company hopes to schedule a special event that month to show off the device, which is designed to make good use of the HealthKit health and fitness information-gathering app it recently showed off at WWDC. Could things change between now and fall? That's certainly possible. But right now October is the target date.
We've been hearing about the rumored fall release of the iWatch for months, while simultaneously also hearing that it might be pushed back to 2015. Now that more reliable sources are in on the reports, it looks like things are coming together. Nikkei is also reporting that the device will sport a curved OLED touchscreen display, and will heavily focused on integrating with the new Health app in iOS 8, tracking things like calories burned, sleep activity, blood oxygen levels, and other fitness-related data.
Amazon seemingly set to reveal Kindle smartphone in Seattle on June 18
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Cell Phones, Handhelds, Rumors, Videos
Amazon has released a new video that teases what we expect to be its new Kindle smartphone. You can see people in the video interacting with...something...whatever it is, it has been masterfully cut from the footage. The users are all impressed, saying things like "It moved with me!" and "How does it do that?" while swaying back and forth. Of course, the rumored Amazon smartphone was said to include six cameras near the display that would track the movement of your head in order to provide an interactive, glasses-free 3D user interface.
While the video, which we've embedded below, doesn't give away much of anything, what we are expecting is a smartphone with a 4.7-inch display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 13-megapixel camera, and 2GB RAM. And that crazy software UI. As you can see in Amazon's teaser image above, the device is black, and has a beveled rear edge. The company has planned a big launch event in Seattle on June 18th, where we'll bring you all of the news as it's announced. For now, check out the video after the break.

Ask Andru: Which devices are compatible with iOS 8?
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software
Apple announced iOS 8 and gave us a look at a bunch of the major features during its WWDC 2014 keynote (you can watch the WWDC 2014 keynote here.) We got a question in from Nick F. asking:
"I'm curious if my iPhone 4S will be able to run iOS 8. How do I know if it is compatible?"
You may be wondering if your iOS device is compatible with Apple's latest and greatest, so here's a look at the full list of Apple products that will be able to be upgraded to iOS 8:
- iPhone 4S
- iPhone 5
- iPhone 5c
- iPhone 5s
- iPad 2
- iPad with Retina display (iPad 3 and iPad 4)
- iPad Air
- iPad mini
- iPad mini with Retina display
- iPod touch (5th generation)
As you can see, as it pertains to the iPhone line, the iPhone 4 (released in 2010) and older will not be compatible with iOS 8. With iPad, it'll be the original model that won't be able to use the new operating system. Meanwhile, the only iPod touch that can run iOS 8 is the 5th generation model. That's quite a generous line-up when compared to competing smartphone and tablet platforms!

Last week on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Oliver did a fantastic segment that lasted over 13 minutes talking about the issue of net neutrality and the work (or, lack thereof) that the FCC is going to address it. He broke it down perfectly and in true John Oliver fashion, touching on all the important points while keeping it light and funny. Then, at the end, Oliver called for the Internet commenter trolls to unite and head over to the FCC Web site to make their voices heard on the net neutrality forum. The result? The FCC site collapsed under the pressure. Seriously, I encourage you to watch the segment, which we've embedded here in this post. After you do, head on over to the FCC Web site and let them know to put a stop to this ridiculousness.

SANTA CLARA -- Jimmie Ward's daunting task for his rookie season on the 49ers: Cover the slot receiver, a role previously held by Carlos Rogers since 2011.
"He showed through the process he can cover in the slot and was used there quite a bit in Northern Illinois' defense," general manager Trent Baalke said Thursday night after drafting Ward 30th overall.
Ward's addition is the latest, needed step in the secondary's overhaul this offseason, seeing how Rogers and fellow starting cornerback Tarell Brown joined the Raiders in free agency.
Besides competing with veterans Eric Wright and Perrish Cox for the nickel role in the slot, Ward will be asked to learn the safety roles, though he's not expected to unseat starters Eric Reid (last year's first-round pick) and Antoine Bethea (a free-agent acquisition from Indianapolis).
The 49ers considered moving up the draft board -- five wideouts and four cornerbacks were drafted ahead of them -- but gladly sat tight for Ward, who graded well in Baalke's eyes dating to last fall.
"There were lot of teams showing a lot of interest," Ward said, noting he made visits to the 49ers and nine other clubs. "I ended up getting a phone call. It was Coach (Jim) Harbaugh, telling me, 'Are you ready to play?' I was excited."
Harbaugh described Ward as very upbeat and likable when they met at 49ers headquarters a couple of weeks ago.
"He has an instinct to react to plays before anyone else sees it," Harbaugh said.
Ward (5-foot-11, 193 pounds) is coming off March 11 foot surgery, and although that might sideline him into June workouts, he expects to be fully cleared for training camp. Baalke echoed that prognosis for a foot injury Ward overcame to run a 4.45-second, 40-yard dash at Northern Illinois' pro day.
The 49ers allowed the seventh-fewest passing yards in the league last season (221.0 per game), while the Super Bowl-champion Seattle Seahawks ranked first in that category (172.0).
The 49ers yielded one touchdown pass in each of their three playoff games, including a go-ahead score Rogers gave up in the Seahawks' 23-17, NFC Championship win.
Not only must Ward fill Rogers' shoes, he'll also be asked to study the safety spots, perhaps as an eventual replacement for Bethea, who left the Colts after eight seasons to fill Donte Whitner's starting role. Bethea signed a four-year, $21 million deal in March.
A year ago, the 49ers drafted Reid and saw him start every game last season. Meanwhile, their cornerback corps is in flux after the departure of Rogers and Brown.
Tramaine Brock is slated to return to a starting job he secured midway through last season, so vying for that other starting slot are Wright, Cox, Chris Cook and Chris Culliver, who missed last season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Culliver's health isn't all that might factor into his bid for a starting job. He was involved in a March car accident and has since pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor hit-and-run and felony weapons charges; a civil suit has also been filed from the incident.
Ward is not a candidate to start outside at cornerback, Baalke said. Instead, gaining command of the nickel spot will be of utmost importance in defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's scheme.
"I take pride because I'm versatile, I can tackle, I can cover, do a lot of things," Ward said. "I'd love to compete for that nickel spot."
Baalke said the nickel back has been on the field over 60 percent of the time the past two seasons, and that's unlikely to change.
Asked if Fangio or secondary coach Ed Donnatell tested his nickel-back knowledge during his visit to the 49ers facility, Ward replied: "Not just nickel, but safety, too. They put me on the board a little bit to describe a couple plays. It was simple. I know football."
Ward said he also visited the Ravens, Colts, Bears, Vikings, Panthers, Saints, Raiders, Cowboys, Texans and Falcons.
"We aren't alone in the thought process," Baalke said. "There was a lot of like in this guy."
While Ward impressed many at the Senior Bowl, Baalke raved about Ward's consistency throughout a seven-interception senior season.
"I don't remember watching a bad game (on film) of him, and that stuck with us," Baalke said.

For something to eat or drink, Beechcraft workers spend their money at the businesses around the plant.
"There will be days in here where we have all flight safety guys," said Two Guys BBQ owner Kyla Ryan.
That's why nearby restaurant owners pay close attention to what is going on at Beechcraft.
"If things are going well for them, that helps us. And if it's not going well for them, we notice it," said Livingston's Diner owner Jeanne Livingston.
Ryan says about 50 percent of Two Brothers BBQ customers work at Beechcraft.
"We're obviously happy they're sticking around because it helps our business and everybody else's around here. So, we're glad they're staying in Wichita," said Ryan.
Livingston agrees. In the past few years, they both worried about a buyer taking the company out of state or bankruptcy shutting it down.
"That did scare us, yeah. We thought this could be a really quiet, deserted area right here," said Livingston.
The owners say Textron's purchase of Beechcraft will keep the workers eating at their restaurants.
A statement released on behalf of Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer and city council members reads:
"The acquisition of Beechcraft by Textron, Inc., is a development of great interest to the City of Wichita. Our city's reputation as the Air Capital of the World has been built on the solid business decisions of our aviation industry. We fully expect that the Textron/Beechcraft merger will result in a positive outcome for the individual businesses and the community as a whole."
Talk of what it could mean for employees is now on the minds of many workers.
"I had a Beechcraft guy come in today that was on his lunch break and I was like, 'So how you thinking?' and he was just like, 'Yeah, it's good,'" Ryan said. "Then, there was a lady right behind him that works for Cessna and she was like, 'It's going to be interesting to see what happens with it.' Cessna employees are watching it pretty closely too."
Some business owners fear a consolidation through the deal could mean a loss of some jobs at the plant. But they say overall, they are happy it is staying in Wichita.

yea need some help from someone who can help! i feel like i have poetential to become a great player! i can do whatever coach ask of me to do and i try my hardest! hopefully someone can help a unknown superstar in need of help!
where are you from
r u kiddin me? if u had potential u wouldnt need to call out like dat
Try to be a little more subtle with your approach. You can't really call yourself a superstar from the get go, those kinds of things take time and the respect of others before you can actually call yourself that. Not to mention, coach's don't really go for the superstar guys anymore. They go with the players who have a great knowledge of the game and guys who will most likely want to stay all four years. But hey, good luck to you man, just thought I'd give you a little advice. Hope you make it wherever it is you're trying to go.
thats just my confidence, i think i have potential to become a SOMEBODY in basketball. i just need someone to pushh me n train me to it. im good right noww but i want to be GREAT!
You have the right attitude to be a great player. You need to find someone who is willing to work as hard as you outside of regular practice time. But in the end, it all comes down to YOU!. you need to be the first at practice working on fundamentals that might not be worked on during a team practice, and you need to stay after practice to work on shooting, moves etc.
yea im always up at da courts by my house playin ball practicing my shot i got a pretty good jumper i might sayy ;) but im usually playin pick up games, its gettin old now, i wanna get on a team that is organized and i want to play wit the same teammates and have chemistry and all, when ur playin pick up games ur playin wit different players soo u really dont have much chemistry you kno? well thats why i came to this site, i was watchin games on t.v n kept seein the commercial for ihoops n thought maybe someone could help me get on a team cuz idk where to go. i dropped out of high school, but im looking forward to getting my GED and hopefully play college ball for a couple years to upgrade my skill level and hopefullyyyy hit up the nba...my dream lol
How can I make myself know to collage scouts all over the country. I'm pretty good at the game itself, PG and in Middle school. My dads getting together a AAU team to get my name out there but will that be good enough?
kim a mod player and we where good this year 10 and 2 so come check us out odyssey basketball
