WINDBER - Tyler Dibert began his march toward a fourth consecutive District 5 wrestling title Friday night in impressive fashion. He advanced to today's semifinals with a pin in 1:43.
Dibert leads a group of 10 Lions who will wrestle in the semifinals today at Windber High School.
Joining Dibert in the semifinals are Aaron Burkett (106), Blake Dunlap (113), Derrick Claar (120), Trent Crouse (126), Conner Buttry (152), Bradie Bollman (160), Dan Albright (195), Brad Winegardner (220) and Austin Buttry (285). Jerimiah Zimmerman just missed out on being the 11th wrestler in the semifinals, losing a tight 4-3 match to Braeden Fochtman of Berlin Brothersvalley.

Northern Bedford's Duelin Douglas battles Hyndman's Steven Miller at 170 pounds.
"We wrestled very well today," said Chestnut Ridge coach Greg Lazor. "We have 10 wrestlers in the semifinals, and four other wrestlers are still in. There were a couple of close matches. We won some of those and lost some of them."
One wrestler who caught Lazor's attention was Conner Buttry. Buttry defeated Everett's Ejai Rock, who came into the contest with a 19-6 record.
"Conner Buttry had a good win," said Lazor. "He beat a quality kid. Conner looked really good tonight."
In the team standings, Chestnut Ridge holds a 14-point lead, 62-48, over Meyersdale. Bedford (47.5), Somerset (46.5), and Berlin (42) rounded out the top five teams.
"The semifinals are where it is at," said Lazor. "That is where you can get a lot of points. In a small tournament, you need to win the majority of those matches."
Northern Bedford was tied with North Star for seventh place (33 points). Everett (20 points) is in 10th place, and Tussey Mountain (10 points) is in 11th place.
Bedford coach Brian Creps was not as thrilled with his team's performance as it moved eight into the semifinals.
"We won the matches where we were the higher seed, but lost the ones where we were the lower seed," said Creps. "Chance Williams wrestled a nice match, but had a tough overtime loss. Hopefully he can bounce back.
"We have eight in the semifinals tomorrow. The semifinals are the big time. To punch your ticket to regionals, you need to win in the semifinals. Hopefully we can go 8-for-8 tomorrow."
The Bisons who wrestled into the semifinals were: Jonathan Gabriel (106), Jake Warren (113), Ryan Easter (120), Garrett Thomas (126), Toby Brett (138), Tanner Williams (152), Caleb Grimes (170) and Michael Brett (182). Bedford has three wrestlers who will try to earn a spot at regionals by working their way through the wrestlebacks.
Northern Bedford 145 pounder Drew Gartland reached a milestone in his 7-0 victory last night. Gartland's win was the 100thof his career.
"Drew looked a little cautious," said Northern Bedford coach Brian Dutchcot. "I think that the 100thwin was on his mind. I look for him to continue to do even better tomorrow. He will be able to wrestle carefree after getting his 100thwin."
As a team, the Panthers advanced five wrestlers into the semifinals. Trey Childers (106), Mason Replogle (132), Damian Corle (138) and Duelin Douglas (170) also advanced.
"Overall, we wrestled well as a team," said Dutchcot. "We brought 12 wrestlers, and are bringing back 11 wrestlers tomorrow. That is a good sign. Tomorrow, anything can happen.
"Childers and Douglas are wrestling number one seeds, so they have their work cut out for them. Replogle lost to [Tanner] Hetrick in the dual meet, so he will be looking for revenge. Mason is looking for a district title. That would be a nice way for him to go out as a senior."
Everett only advanced one wrestler into the semifinals in third-seeded Dalton Klotz (21-6) at 106. However, Warriors coach Rob Ripple stressed the positives.
"This is a tough tournament," said Ripple. "There is a lot of depth. This is a good experience for your young kids."
In addition to Klotz, Everett will have five wrestlers competing in the wrestlebacks.
Tussey Mountain coach John Husick had a long wait before he saw any of his wrestlers advance into the semifinals. Shad Brumbaugh finally broke through for the Titans at 195. Mitchell Hall (285) was the only other Tussey Mountain wrestler to advance.
"We have not wrestled to our potential," said Husick. "This has been a rough tournament. It was good to see Brumbaugh and Hall get wins. Tomorrow, we should have those two wrestlers in the finals."
Only three other Titans will return tomorrow to compete in the wrestlebacks.

A lot of folks are not real happy that the state is going to cut down all those trees on I-26.
It's going to be ugly. It's going to be generic. And it's going to make it a lot harder for the deer to hide before they jump out in front of our cars.
But there's one other thing for sure here — it's not Jim Rozier's fault.
The Lowcountry representative on the state Department of Transportation Commission tried to stop the I-26 tree massacre. But, alas, he was not successful.
"I hate it. I fought the good fight," says Rozier, the Highway Commissioner and former Berkeley County supervisor.
Before Thursday's meeting, Rozier was pretty sure he didn't have the votes to stop the DOT's plan to cut down all the trees in the median between Summerville and Interstate 95.
And after state bureaucrats finished their presentation, he was pretty sure he could not have gotten a second to his emotion. The state guys had done their homework.
The carrot and the stick
The state plans to replace our trees with some ugly cables, the likes of which they've been stringing up along highways for the past decade.
In that 10 years, 23,000 cars have hit the cables — which works out to about 4.5 cars per mile of cable on South Carolina highways.
You know what this means, besides the fact that we have some really rotten drivers in this state?
"No question, the cables save lives," Rozier says.
Even had Rozier successfully argued against safety, the DOT is now dangling a carrot that will no doubt silence many of its critics: It has to take out the trees to widen I-26 to three lanes in each direction.
Between the lives saved and the additional highway lanes, Rozier knew there was no way to stop this train.
And in the end, he couldn't. So say goodbye to the trees.
The boredom zone?
This is not going to be a popular decision.
Rozier got 130 calls on the DOT's plan himself. Only three of those people liked the idea — and one of those was a guy who wanted the contract to cut down all the trees.
There's a reason people had such a gut reaction to this idea. Fact is, that's a pretty stretch of highway. And it won't be anymore. It's going to look like any other patch of interstate in any state.
And that stinks.
Rozier says he can't do anything, except explain it to folks and hope they understand.
Of course, he can tell them that stretch of I-26 isn't called the death zone for nothing. In a recent four-year span, there were nearly 2,000 crashes in that 30 miles. In those accidents, more than 700 people were injured, and 44 died. Half those crashes involved running off the road and, presumably, into those trees.
Funny thing is, the DOT says most of those wrecks aren't the result of drunk driving or even texting behind the wheel. Most of the accidents, it seems, are the result of people falling asleep or just not concentrating while driving.
Maybe that had something to do with the nice scenery.
Well, we won't have that problem anymore.

I suggest we propose an excise tax on ammo - 10 cents a round centerfire, a nickel a primer, a penny each for rimfire or purcussion caps. half the procedes to go to school security the other half to promoting shooting ranges and firearms instruction. at least it will give folks something to argue about besides hi-cap mags and assault weapons.

Green Day's 'American Idiot' Musical Is Political And Personal
'It's about people becoming lost and just trying to find their way,' Billie Joe Armstrong tells MTV News.
By now, you're probably aware that Green Day's 2004 album American Idiot was a fairly, uh, political affair. And while the Broadway version of the record doesn't exactly shy away from the topic, it also reveals a side of the music that most probably never realized was there in the first place: the personal.
"I think, politically, American Idiot, when we were writing it, it was trying to make sense out of a big mess," Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said. "You're trying to find something to believe in, but it's difficult when you're getting bombarded with useless information. So it's just [about] trying to find your identity and your individualism in the midst of all that."

Dear PhoneArena readers, it came to our attention that one of the advertisements on our site contained malware. We have immediately removed this advertisement from our pages, but unfortunately Google has already detected it, which is why some of you may be getting warning messages, upon loading the site. We want to assure you that all necessary measures have been taken to ensure that PhoneArena is absolutely safe to browse. We have submitted a report to Google to let them know about the situation, but it will probably take about a couple of hours until it gets processed, so it's possible for some of you to continue seeing the warning message for a while...

We when you are popular you get malware. Just like Android. When you are top dog everyone wants to bring you down.
I knew this was just a small issue & I am VERY glad that PhoneArena.com moved with the quickness & resolved the situaltion.
I have been a long time reader & VERY proud to be part of this community.

Which is why you should have an updated browser and some decent AV/ Firewall just in case. Even MS Security Essentials works very well.

Yes sometimes it takes ages to stop that message. We've seen this happen when sites were compromised thru FTP due to malaware/virus on m/c accessingftp. PA will see a great drop in traffic.

Shouldn't you be worried that your browser and search engine doesn't give you a warning for sites infected with malware?

IE is adware/malaware friendly browser right from early days.

So that's why Firefox and Chrome have both warned me that Phonearena was unsafe and tried to prevent me from accessing the website earlier. Thank you for removing that malware advertisement and the website being functional again!!! I absolutely love and need this site for any cellphone and other technology news! It's all (mostly) here, organized and together.

Throughout history there are periods that later generations look back on in amazement and ask, "What were they thinking?" I can't help but wonder what will be remembered about us 20, 50, 100 years from now.
This administration, touted by the media as the most highly educated in our nation's history, is headed by a president who thought there were 57 states, a former secretary of state who asked, "What difference ... does it make?" when our embassy was overrun and the ambassador and other Americans were killed, a speaker of the House who said a law must be passed to see what's in it, an attorney general who refuses to enforce the law, a Congressional rep who thinks the Constitution is 400 years old, and on and on. Then, there's the VP (but let's not go there!) I can remember when the media ridiculed a former VP for misspelling "potato."
We now have a media that will cover and spin and spin and cover till you have to gag. When the president repeatedly lied (28 times) about health care, they grudgingly admitted he "misspoke." Boy, I wish I'd known that word when I was a kid!
President Bill Clinton in 2005, then Sen. Barack Obama, along with Republican Sen. Dick Durbin, helped secure $48 million in federal funding to help Ukraine scrap thousands of tons of weapons, from small arms to missiles, plus 15,000 tons of ammo in order to make that region, and the world, safer, and assured them their borders would be defended if need be as the Russian bear was dead. Turns out the bear was just snoozing and now he's awake and irritable.
Incidentally, by the same mindset, the liberals seek to disarm law-abiding citizens because criminals with guns cause too much violent crime. Reportedly, Clint Eastwood commented recently that made about as much sense as having yourself castrated because your neighbors have too many kids. Good one, Clint!
So, now, Obama again is blustering about red lines and consequences and diplomacy and I'm sure President Vladimir Putin is impressed. Will Rogers defined diplomacy as the ability to say, "Nice doggy," until you can find a rock; having seen Obama throw a baseball, we better scrap that idea!
Even as I write this, the people of Crimea are voting to return to the Soviet fold and Mother Russia is tightening her grip on the throat of an unarmed (but safer?) Ukraine. I wonder if Vlad will lose any sleep over those consequences he was promised?
D.F. Heimrick,

Bucking, twisting, turning and spinning; This is what a bull is trained to do.
All of these moves have one purpose — to unseat the rider.
The best bulls in the business are trailed to the 2013 Professional Bull Riders Built Ford Tough World Finals to challenge the riders who are competing for a world championship.
However, it's not just the riders who are competing — the bulls are as well.
The title that the bulls are competing for is the American Bucking Bull Inc. (ABBI) Classic title.
This year, that award was won by a 4-year-old bull named The Rocker, who hails from Fort Lupton, Colo.
The Rocker is owned by 18-year-old Wyatt Crowder, who claimed the $200,000 prize that comes with the title.
"It meant the world to me to have The Rocker win that award, because it's the biggest award you can win in this industry," Crowder said. "This bull is so special, because he is the first bull I ever bought, and he won the world championship classic bull."
Crowder is the youngest person to ever have an ABBI World Champion bull.
Dwight Frick won ABBI Breeder of the Year for being the breeder behind The Rocker.
Crowder made skillful decisions as to how much to haul The Rocker this year as well as the optimal feed and exercise programs to have his bull in top shape for the World Finals.
"To raise bucking bulls you have to have the right breeding program, feeding program, workout program and know what you are doing," he explained.
The Rocker placed at five of seven ABBI Classic events he entered this year, earning him a trip to the finals.
He clinched the title after bucking off LaSalle, Colo., cowboy Kody Lostroh in the fourth round.
The Rocker turned in a two-ride score of 176, finishing just a half point ahead of King Buck.
The Rocker was sitting a point behind the long round leader Pecos Bill who had scored an 87.5 on after the first round. Five bulls had scores of 87 and two other bulls had 86.5, matching the score The Rocker had posted.
Any of the 17 bulls with a score of 86 or higher that made it to the championship round could have won the title — one point wasn't a big margin to make up.
But The Rocker hadn't won a Classic event during the regular season. He was always just a few spots out of first and had earned over $12,000, putting him toward the bottom of the Top 10 in the year-end standings. He was a contender, but not one of the favorites to win the most coveted title the organization bestows.
When The Rocker earned an 89.25 from the judges in the championship round, the entire Crowder family were on the edge of their seats, waiting to see if any bull could beat that mark. When they learned he had won, reactions ranged from tears of joy and pride from Crowder's mom, to Crowder himself, who "just couldn't stop shaking."
Immediately after his win, a stunned Crowder said, "It just doesn't seem real yet. Maybe tomorrow when I wake up it will hit me. But right now, I feel like someone needs to pinch me to make sure I'm not dreaming."
Dwight Frick won ABBI Breeder of the Year for being the breeder behind The Rocker.
The bull is a grandson of the 2006 PBR World Champion Bull, Mossy Oak Mudslinger, and was purchased by Crowder when he was just a yearling.
Crowder started in the ABBI as a youth member competing in Junior Futurities with The Rocker.
"When I bought The Rocker. I was at a futurity in here Colorado, and they had a yearling bull sale. I was actually interested in a different bull, and had gone to see him and Rocker bucked and my mom saw him. She told me to just trust her and go buy him. If it wasn't for my mom, I wouldn't have bought him," he said.
When they brought the bull home, they found he was pretty green and needed some work.
"When I first got The Rocker, I knew he needed some work," he said. "I did a lot of training with him, and put him into a special feed program and exercise program to make him how he is now. We bucked him a lot, which he needed, and it all paid off."
As a 2-year-old, The Rocker nearly killed himself after hitting a metal post and knocking himself out for 30 minutes. It could three months for him to recover from that injury, but that didn't stop him. At the finals of that year, he sustained a leg injury during a warm-up session, and Crowder was forced to pull him out of the competition.
As a 3-year-old, the bull attended the event, but got stage fright and didn't perform well.
"He overcame these challenges from having a heart bigger than this world. He had the heart to buck," Crowder said.
Crowder got his start in the bucking bull industry when his family phased out their cow/calf operation and decided to raise bucking bulls. His family purchased a few animals, and the family worked together to build the training facility and program they have today.
"The best part is winning with a bull you have trained and raised," he said.
Crowder plans to continue his breeding program using this bull.
"My plans with him now are to breed with him, and take him to PBR events and just have fun with him. He has already proven himself to me," he said. "I'm just going to keep trying and raising the best bulls I can raise for this program."
He only raises bulls for the PBR, and has enjoyed the organization.
"I love the PBR and ABBI because the bulls are competing as well. I will just stick with the PBR and ABBI because it's the biggest and the best," he said.
Even though Crowder won the title with his bull, he felt it was a family effort.
"I want to thank my mom and dad and sister. Without them I would not be where I am now. I also want to thank my uncle Rick Harris for helping me get started, and everything he has done to help," he stated.
PBR Livestock Director Cody Lambert had called this year's Classic field the deepest ever and said that The Rocker was one of the most consistent bulls in that field.
Past ABBI Classic champions include Bushwacker, Troubadour, Black Pearl and Shepherd Hills Tested. ❖

Samsung Galaxy S 4 scores twice the iPhone 5 at benchmarks, beats all other Androids, too
0. phoneArena 19 Mar 2013, 03:47 posted on
Needless to say, since the S 4 for US carriers is running the latest generation Snapdragon chip, clocked at the respectable 1.9 GHz, it beat all the current flagships by a large margin, save for the HTC One, which has the same chipset, but clocked slightly lower at 1.7 GHz...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. emadshiny (Posts: 1144; Member since: 05 Dec 2012)
what about octa-core version?
i think US version will perform better in benchmarks.
6. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1488; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
its Octa core ...but its 4+4 config so only the A15's work , so technically its still Quad Core
7. tech2 (Posts: 3458; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
Octa Core is built to conserve battery not to triumph benchmarks (which hardly translates anything noticeable in day-to-day use) !!
Also, 'TECHNICALLY' its Octa Core because it has 8 cores not Quad Core even though the maximum cores that can run at a time are only 4 !!!!!
13. wendygarett (unregistered)
If nvidia is honestly enough call their 4+1 chip is quad core instead of penta, why can't the exynos?
19. tech2 (Posts: 3458; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
Thats not the point.
I was merely pointing out the fact that he misused the word 'technically' and mentioned 'only the A15's work' which is untrue.
Morally, I do believe Samsung shouldn't have named it Octa core but Dual-Quad core or something of that sort :)
53. NokiaFTW (Posts: 2071; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
They can use it as a marketing term thats why they call it octa core !
82. HDShatter (Posts: 1021; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
They won't make it 4 + 4 cause big.little is a market ploy to make people think phones are octacore.
39. KazEmpire (Posts: 39; Member since: 07 Nov 2011)
So 'TECHNICALLY' My Prada which is using a OMAP 4430 is Quad Core(2 A9+2 M3)
56. nobelset (Posts: 270; Member since: 17 Oct 2012)
Yes, but you shouldn't be proud of your benchmark results.
63. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
My variant of the galaxy s2 also uses the omap 4430 .
Making it a quad core too !
Who needs an GS3 ? Ugly as hell .
Cheaper GS2 i9100G with Ti omap 4430 'quad core ' FTW !

It's not built only to conserve battery. Is for the best of both worlds. And it will do well in benchmarks cause the new a15's are no joke. And they will beat the snap600 the only other chip that's using a15 architecture is TTegra4 which isn't even in a device yet.
The coupled a7's are for power consumption. Do for homework before spewing your ignorance.

its not.... octo core is exynos
35. hipnotika (Posts: 353; Member since: 06 Mar 2013)
no its not octa core.
its quad core snapdragon 600. and it has adreno320 gpu.
i think with power vr gpu & exynos cpu it ll perform much performance. because power vr is more powerfull than adreno 320 ;)
83. HDShatter (Posts: 1021; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
Undoubtly the gpu in the exynos 5 variant will destroy adreno 320. The Cpu will be better to.

But Exynos Processors have always been out performing Qualcom processors...

No it's an octocore!
Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP)
This is the other actual implemented function mode of a big.LITTLE CPU. In this case, all 8 cores can be used simultaneously by the system.
This is a vastly more complex working mechanism, and its implementation is also an order of magnitude more sophisticated. It requires the kernel scheduler to actually be aware of the differentiation of between the A7 and A15 cores. Currently, the Linux kernel is not capable of doing this and treats all CPUs as equals. This is a problem since we do not want to use the A15 cores when a task can simply me processed on an A7 core with a much lower power cost.
The Linaro working-group already finished the first implementation of the HMP design as a series of patches to be applied against the Linux 3.8 kernel. What they did is to make the scheduler smart enough to be able to track the load of single process entities, and with that information to schedule the threads smartly on either the A7 cores or the A15 cores. This achieves much lower latency in terms of switching workloads, or better said, switching the environments (CPUs) to the respective work-loads, and exposes the full processing capabilities of the silicon as all cores can be used at once.
You can follow the advancements of this in the publications of the Linaro Connect summits that happen every few months. The code was only published in the middle of February this year for the first working implementation equivalent in power consumption to the IKS.

Its not possible that the Snapdragon 600 will out perform the Exynos 5 at the same clock speed, as the Snapdragon 600 is still a hybrid A9/A15 CPU (aka Krait), where as the Eynos is a FULL A15 setup.

A protractor for measuring d angle whether ur looking at d screen
At 90 degrees or not... a dull ui with greyish tones..cumbersome positioning of the speaker..which is very irritating as the sound gets muffled by ur hand or finger when u play games..and u gotta crank open the flap of d 3.5mm headphone jack with a crowbar.
What a flagship smartphone! !!!! Phew

hmmm this benchmark test is useless, ofcourse with high-end hardware it will be the best, but what about browsermark, sunspider tests? ^^
15. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Sun spider is the most useless test ever, if you want to talk hardware.
It is heavily software dependant.
For example, my S3 scores 1900ms with Chrome, and 1170ms with Dolphin.
Samsung Chromebook with Exynos 5 scores 900ms, while Nexus 10 with the same chip scored almost 2000ms (the lower the better of course) with the stock Android Chrome.
21. edgabimbam (unregistered)
If you want high benchmark scores related to hardware then sorry it is total bulls**t, i prefer software optimization, faster, smoother user expierence ;)
30. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
You're not getting the point obviously.
To get an indication of the smoothness potential, you have to use a hardware based test.
If my S3 scores 1170 on sunspider with Dolphin, S4 will surely score way under 1000, probably somewhere around 700-800.
Yet, if you put it on some slow browser, it can score even worse than 1170.
Anyway, you can change tons of browsers, but you can't change the hardware, and that's the point.

Is the octacore more or less powerful than the snap600?
14. zackdbassist (Posts: 22; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
Going by the architecture that the octa core uses it is A15 for 4 performance cores and A7 for the power saving cores. And from what details are available from qualcomm S600 is an architecture somewhere between A9 and A15 performance wise. In theory A15 would outgun the S600 with much ease but again another factor is s600 is clocked at 1.9 Ghz compared to 1.6 Ghz for the Exynos 5 octa which should even out the performance. But when it comes to less battery intensive tasks and the A7 cores kick in thereby reducing the power usage to around 1/5th. That should be almost the same performance from both the chipsets but less battery consumption on the Exynos 5 octa.
17. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Actually, Anandtech speculates that A15 is clocked at only 1.2ghz..
Oh well, we'll find out about that soon enough
43. zackdbassist (Posts: 22; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
Buddy, the A7 cores are clocked at 1.2ghz. My source is Anandtech and a few more websites. If you can just confirm that again.
46. zackdbassist (Posts: 22; Member since: 15 Mar 2013)
The quad-core A7 can run at between 200MHz and 1.2GHz, while the quad-core A15 can run at a range of 200MHz to 1.8GHz.
Lines taken from the Anandtech article...What this article has mentioned as Architecture Arm v7a might have confused you. v7a is the instruction set used by both A7 and A15 architecture.

Oh no it's the same thing as last year. :""(
Oh wait it's at least twice pushing twice as many pixels on brighter, more natural screen. It hs 2 IR sensors a barometer, pedometer, humidity and thermometer sensors, new-gen 13MP camera with 60FPS FHS recording, DDR3 RAM, AirView, FloatingTouch, Smart controls with dedicated sensor, bigger battery, power saving SoC, , slimmer design, wireless charging, Visa payment, Gorilla Glass 3 protection, KNOX security.
Biggest step forward than any other new Galaxy.

The only thing they really kept the same was the look of the software, and they only made small changes to the design. Otherwise they gave it some nice upgrades.
I'm definitely going to try out the GS4. I'll get a hands on with it (and the One) in store, and if I like it I'll buy the unlocked international version, if not I'll get the international HTC One. Then whichever I end up with I'll sell later in the year to bury the cost of the Nexus 5 or Motorola X.
I'm trying to get a cycle going where I get 2 new devices a year; the Samsung or HTC flagship in the first half, then the Nexus or Motorola flagship the second half. Fun :)

Mr Arsh Dhillon. Wait for the demo units to arrive, get a feel of the device, use it once and then share your opinion. I acknowledge the fact that it's not as good looking as say the One or Z but its still way better than S3 which in turn broke all sales record thanks to all the features. And even after getting the demo if you are not satisfied with the product then go ahead with One or Z or Nexus 5 or iPhone5 or even the Vertu. Whichever suits you. Kindly don't detest something even before you have seen it or used it.
55. Diego! (Posts: 575; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
I agree. Last year I had the luck to travel with my brothers to the US for the first time in my life. I remembered back then, I wanted to get an HTC One X because its design was/is beautiful. But, when I had it in my hands, I felt really disappointed. I heard everybody saying its materials were great but when I had it in my hands it felt cheap to me. My twin brother has an SGS III, and we compared both of them at the very same time, and I have to admit, despite the fact I didn't like SGS III design very much, when I had it my hands it felt much better constructed and proportioned than the HTC One X. So this time, I will do the same. I see everybody is praising HTC ONE for the materials HTC used to build it, but I will wait to get both phones in my hands before making up my mind. But, the Full HD SuperAMOLED looks amazing to me, so for now I will go with Samsung Galaxy S IV, but I won't decide until I try both phones :)

I think the design is the perfect compromise. All glass GG3 front, metal frame and plastic back (which allows the memory and battery to be swapped out)

As it is now well and truly the festive season, I thought I would start up a thread which would both be fun for the members, and useful for the administrators!
Last month, we had a poll thread which was basically a survey to see where members of the Golden Skate forum were from. Well, I thought that it might be a good idea to also do a survey to see what age the members were. But, I have decided to give it a fun twist.
Instead of saying directly what age you are, you name a skater that you are the same (or similar) age as. So, I am 27, so I could reply:
I am the same age as Akiko Suzuki"
However, Akiko is actually a few months older than me. So, I might want to make it clear in my answer that I am actually younger than her. One way of doing this would be to give an age range as an answer. So, I could instead reply:
"I am older than Joannie Rochette, but younger than Akiko Suzuki"
Akiko turned 27 at the end of March, while Joannie turns 27 next month. So, that gives roughly a 10 month age range into which my birthday fits.
But, if you do decide to give an age range as an answer, PLEASE DO NOT give a range that is so wide that it is statistically meaningless to the administrators! For example:
"I am older than Julia Lipnitskaya, but younger than John Nicks"!!!
Julia turned 14 at the start of June, while John turns 84 towards the end of next April. So, that gives roughly a 70 year age range, which is of no use to the administrators for working out what age of people uses their site most.
I for one have a feeling that this thread could turn up some very interesting results indeed! Not least the names of skaters that the members decide to use for their comparisons!
Hope you find this thread as fun as I intended it to be.
Merry Christmas

Watch highlights of the Open Forum where Provost Charles Zukoski presented the latest version of Realizing UB 2020.
Published April 18, 2013
Details on core educational outcomes and the concept of themes have emerged as key elements in achieving academic excellence in the latest version of Realizing UB 2020, an evolving document that upon completion next month will articulate UB's strategic direction.
Provost Charles F. Zukoski presented the latest version of
Realizing UB 2020 Wednesday and Thursday as part of two open
forums—the first in Harriman Hall on the South Campus and the
second in the Center for the Arts Screening Room on the North
President Satish K. Tripathi announced the initiative in his state of the university address last November. Since then, Zukoski has been leading the effort as part of an extraordinary campuswide conversation that has drawn 1,500 attendees to forums such as the Harriman session. The Realizing UB 2020 website has seen nearly 3,000 unique visitors, more than 24,000 page views and roughly 300 written messages.
Seven months of discussion have contributed to this new document.
"We heard initially that we had written something that was too long and complicated," said Zukoski. "The questions asked at the beginning of the process have been replaced by declarative statements that can be debated. This new document is shorter and delivers a more powerful message."
The core educational outcomes are expressed as eight overarching traits the university would like every student to acquire during his or her time at UB.
"They are important because they will drive the education we provide at the undergraduate, graduate and professional levels," said Zukoski. "We want our students to have domain knowledge and critical thinking; an ability to collaborate in teams on complex problems; an appreciation of many cultures; an ability to navigate the world; excellent communication, information and digital literacy skills; resilience and perseverance; a desire to engage in community affairs; and pride in UB and life-long engagement."
"But some of the traits are expressed in terms, such as appreciation, resilience, perseverance, that aren't measurable," pointed out one of the forum participants. "Could these be expressed as behavioral objectives instead so that we can assess performance?"
Zukoski asked for better terms, stressing that the document is still being refined.
"If there are a better ways to express the traits, I'd like to hear them," responded Zukoski. "The words are there because those are traits we'd like students to have. If they can be turned into behavioral language, I'd like to hear about it."
One UB student at the session claimed that many of his classmates, who will be affected greatly by the outcome of Realizing UB 2020, are simply not taking part in the process.
"I had two sessions so far with students," said Zuksoki. "That's where I picked up the issue of pride—that's why it shows up. I'm working to put together another session with students to discuss the current document, but I need your ideas and ideas from all students. I want to know if the apparatus we have is capturing what they have to say or if the apparatus needs to be expanded."
The theme concept permeates the latest draft of Realizing UB 2020.
Each theme is an investigation of a major global challenge or large area of scholarly inquiry that leverages the university's strategic strengths and can be used as organizational principles that inform programs and influence how the university will hire faculty, educate students and engage the larger community.
"There has been a lot of acceptance on the idea of themes," said Zukoski. "There was, however, a lot of feedback on what the themes should be. They have changed and those changes are reflected in the document."
The themes of health, justice and the environment have been in the document from the start. Innovation and humanity, meantime, have been added and are open for discussion. Innovation leans toward the areas of technology and entrepreneurship, while humanity explores what it means to be human: experiences, behaviors, ideas and societal influences on the human condition.
Creativity has been dropped as a possibility.
"We heard that, as a theme, it didn't speak to the needs of large areas of human endeavor in the development of culture," said Zukoski. "Yes, everyone needs to be creative, but as a theme, it didn't capture elements that we could build programs around."
Although not absent from the current version of Realizing UB 2020, one audience member noted that athletics has a less-visible presence than it did in the first document.
"There is no walking away from athletics at the level it is right now," explained Zukoski. "If we as a campus are to be proud about our university, then we must acknowledge that athletics is an amazing mechanism for generating that pride."
Zukoski said there is still work to be done on the document and told the audience that every page is stamped "Draft."
"The document is explaining what we have proposed as a university," he said. "It has changed over time as a result of people embracing or rejecting those proposals."
The deadline for feedback on the latest version of Realizing UB 2020 is May 6 and a final published statement of institutional direction is scheduled for May 15. The first step of the implementation phase will be a memo to deans, vice presidents and vice provosts asking for plans that align with the strategic intention of the document. Implementation strategies will be developed over the summer.
That wisdom of that timeline, with additional work taking place after the semester, was questioned by one participant since it would exclude many of the faculty.
"One of the challenges we face in higher education is the timeframe on which we operate," Zukoski said. "The number of weeks we as a campus have do business is stunningly short. Higher education can't work that way anymore. Things around us are changing too fast. We have to come up with ways of communicating, holding conversations and reaching decisions that are rapid," he said. "That's something we have to think about. How do we begin to change, given the pressures that are acting upon us from the outside world? We need to be nimble and it's one of things I've learned in the seven months we've been working on this process."

DELAND, Fla. – Jessie TenBroeck and Jessica Griffin each drove in a pair of runs and Stetson survived a seventh-inning rally by Florida Gulf Coast to post its eighth win in a row, 5-4, Saturday night at Patricia Wilson Field.
Meredith Owen (14-3) pitched a complete game as the Hatters improved to 23-5 overall and 7-2 in the Atlantic Sun.
TenBroeck went 2-4 and plated the go ahead run with a two RBI single, while Griffin's two run double the very next inning made her 2-2, and gave the Hatters the insurance runs they needed for the one run victory.
FGCU jumped out to a quick 1-0 lead in the top of the first off a hit and an error, and held that slim advantage until the third, when Stetson capitalized on an Eagle error with one on and two out. That's when pitcher Meredith Owen reached first on a miscue by the Florida Gulf Coast shortstop, allowing TenBroeck to cross the plate and tie the contest up at 1-1.
After helping out her own cause, Owen cruised through the FGCU batting order, retiring six straight in the fourth and the fifth and giving the Stetson bats time to put up some crooked numbers on the scoreboard.
The Hatters scored the go ahead run on TenBroeck's two RBI single in the fourth and then added two more in the fifth off of Griffin's double to center field to make it 5-1.
Owen went the full seven in the circle and put a last inning Eagle rally to rest, retiring the final batter on a foul fly to first after FGCU scored three in the seventh, to secure her 10th complete game of the season. The senior righty fanned eight batters, walked two and surrendered three earned runs on eight hits.
First baseman Kayla Drury also had a two hit day, going 2-3, while left fielder Courtney Brandt extended her hit streak to a team high 11 games.
The Hatters have now won eight games in a row for the second consecutive year as in 2013 they reeled off nine straight from Mar. 1 – 13th against opponents, Niagara, Farleigh Dickinson, Valparaiso and Colgate. Stetson also has a four game conference win streak heading into Sunday's slate of games. The last time head coach Frank Griffin's squad won four straight A-Sun contests was April 20-24 of last season, when they took five in a row from North Florida, ETSU and Jacksonville.
SU and FGCU will play Game 1 of a doubleheader at 1 p.m., Sunday at Patricia Wilson Field. Game 2 originally scheduled for Saturday but pushed back a day because of the weather, will start at approximately 3:30 p.m.
Subscription based live video of the Stetson games will be available on HatterVision. Live stats, the Stetson softball twitter feed, and the Hat-Alerts text messaging system will provide in-game updates as well.
Notes: The Hatters have posted double digit hit totals in six straight games ... Jessica Griffin is 6-for-her-last-6 ... The Hatters are hitting .375 with the bases loaded (Griffin 6-for-9, 10 RBI).

The HTML5 Pointer Events API: Combining touch, mouse, and pen
June 15, 2015, by Ruadhán O'Donoghue
The Pointer Events API is an HTML5 specification that combines touch, mouse, pen and other inputs into a single unified API. It is less well supported than the Touch Events API, although support is growing, with all the major browsers working on an implementation, except for Apple's Safari. There's a colorful background to how the current state of browser support for this API came to be which we covered previously on mobiForge, but in this article we'll just look at its usage...

Webviews and User-Agent strings
April 13, 2015, by Ruadhán O'Donoghue
Much is made of the comparative times spent browsing the web vs engaging with native apps in the apps vs web debate. An often overlooked part of the discussion is that when engaged with a native app some portion of this time is spent actually on the web, via a webview. We'll get to what a webview is in a minute, but for now, what this means is that although the user is in an app, he or she is effectively browsing the web... Read More
The Oxymoron of Mobile Privacy
December 3, 2013, by ronan
Introduction There could hardly be a more perfect privacy invasion machine than today's smartphone. It's with you at all times, it knows precisely where you are, it can see and hear you and it knows exactly what you are doing much of the time. If data is the pollution of the digital age then your smartphone is an overweight 1970's V8 gas guzzler with asbestos brake pads, a leaky freon-charged AC system, burning leaded fuel as it barrels down the highway: you are silently spewing out reams of potentially harmful data all day, every day...

An autopsy in Rochester today is expected to confirm that the body discovered Wednesday in the burned rubble of the Castile municipal building is that of the owner of Lorraine's Place, a popular diner that was part of the historic structure.
Lorraine Qutermous, 52, has not been in contact with anyone since finishing work at her North Main Street business Monday night.
Fire swept through the 140-year-old building shortly before 2 a.m. Tuesday, heavily damaging the structure that contained municipal offices, the diner and several apartments.
The blaze started on the second floor. Two dozen fire departments were called to the scene.
A body was found shortly after 10 a.m. Wednesday, Wyoming County sheriff's officials said during an afternoon news conference.
Wyoming County Coroner Renee Hill took custody of the body, and the remains were taken to the Monroe County Medical Examiner's Office for an autopsy and identification.
According to a Lorraine's Place page on Facebook, Qutermous opened the restaurant in 1998.
There are no photographs of her on the page, which includes 780 friends and a profile photo of a diner-baked pie.
The restaurant was described in a 2010 Buffalo News story as "just what a family diner should be – heavy on the charm rather than gourmet selections."
It was described in that article as serving "good old stick-to-your-ribs food and great homemade pies," and chicken barbecue on weekends.
Sheriff Farris S. Heimann said the historic building was partially demolished to make the structure safe so traffic could return to Route 39 and to restore electrical power that was lost to the immediate area during the fire.
Full demolition of the structure will be completed following the investigation into the cause, which has yet to be determined, the sheriff said at the news conference.
The Sheriff's Office – with assistance from the County Emergency Management Office and state Office of Fire Prevention and Control – is handling the investigation.
Castile Town Supervisor Stephen Tarbell told The News the town and village offices destroyed in the blaze will temporarily be housed in the nearby Bank of Castile starting today.
Town Court and municipal meetings will be held in the village fire hall, next to the former municipal building.

In the tradition of Mouth Music, the Afro Celt Sound System, and, to some degree, Capercaillie, Kila blends Celtic folk music with Afro-European rhythms; the band has achieved huge success in Ireland, where this album achieved gold record status. And it's pretty easy to see why: the combination of Irish melodies and Afrobeat rhythms is a winning one, and Kila's approach is unique enough for the band to stand out in an increasingly crowded field. They're far more traditional in orientation than Mouth Music ever were; the electric guitars and exotic percussion are there to serve the tunes, not the other way around, and their sound is much more down to earth than that of the famously slick Capercaillie. Singer Ronan O' Snodaigh has a truly unique voice, and he uses it to good effect on the lovely "Bi Ann" and the title track; there are also lots of great instrumentals, mostly taken at mid-tempo with fretless electric bass and African percussion percolating along underneath. "If you're looking for something a bit different in traditional Irish music, this band is for you," says Rick Anderson.
Track List:
1. Gwerzy
2. On Taobh Tuathail Amach
3. Rusty Nails
4. Oh To Kiss Katie
5. Tog E Go Bog E
6. Jasmine
7. The Seige of Carrickfinn International Airport

Contrary to what some may think, this is not a form of dance but more accurately described as a traditional, tribal mating display.
The booty pop is seen in Wally world.

"I already got a replacement pup, and she's awesome," Bynes recently told PEOPLE. "I'm such an animal lover, so it was such a tragic, awful thing when I lost Angel."
At first, the actress had reported Little Angel as being lost, and then told her followers on Twitter that the pooch had died. "Little Angel is in heaven now," she wrote. "RIP I love you."
"I didn't go into detail about it because it was just so hard," she said. "But I'm really happy I have another dog."
Some of her fans questioned Bynes's decision to get a new dog so quickly, and, again, she took to Twitter to defend herself. "For those asking if it's too soon for me to get a new puppy, it isn't too soon," she said. "Tiara's helping me cope with the loss of Little Angel."
As rough as it was to lose her little one, Bynes is moving forward and focusing on her latest canine companion.
"Her name is Tiara, like a princess's tiara," she said. "She's just precious. She's just a little Pomeranian. You've got to love them."
