0. phoneArena 25 Sep 2012, 09:53 posted on
A video shows the latest complaint from Apple iPhone 5 users: static lines that run through the virtual QWERTY keyboard on the phone; for now, the problem only occurs when someone is typing in their password at the App Store or iTunes...

I wonder if iPhone 5 owners are actually getting a half-baked and poorly made, highly non-innovative product or is it the magic iP5 came with.

Apple- "You'r touching it wrong" !!

Bash and trash Apple as much as you like Android fans, End of the day Apple is and will lead.
65. tedkord (Posts: 11668; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Except in market share, total smartphones sold, and features. But certainly in QC related issues.

dude apple fan, android fan or whatever... stop hiding in the closet! you and anyone knows the iphone 5 isnt horrible! iOS6 is cool but the iphone 5 is horrible. and before you me an android fanboy, im not, imma iphone 4s fanboy! IPHONE 4S FANBOY FTW
93. kartik4u98 (Posts: 511; Member since: 19 May 2012)
Both ios6 and ip5 is horrible!!
Apple is only good at winning Lawsuits and...isHeEps!!

"This patented technology is a battery saver; utilizing 20% Less energy.." - Says Apple.
"B.S." says me.

I wonder if Apple will do an exchange for a replacement unit for the static lines issue? They did replacements for defective iPad displays (theater lighting is one example). Of course, that was clearly hardware based.
23. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
iDoubt it, Apple will argue that these lines are both iParAllel and iPerpendiculAr and, therefore, a necessary component to their new diSplAy mAtriX. They will also assert that "you are looking at it wrong."
96. jscipher (Posts: 4; Member since: 30 Jun 2012)
thats never in anyway funny or creative,c'mon is that the best you can do.
38. StephenGalop (Posts: 52; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
You are using it wrong. No exchange for ya!
46. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Might be an issue with the display.... There seem to be problems with production yields of the thinner, new-fangled displays. This may be an example of a hardware failure. At least the display can be swapped out relatively easily.
50. tedkord (Posts: 11668; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Issue? What issue? There is no issue.
Oh, you're probably thinking of the new encrypted keyboard feature. Apple cares about your security, and with this new feature, you will feel safe typing your password, secure in the knowledge that anyone glancing over your shoulder won't be able to glean your password because they can't read the keyboard.
Encrypted keyboard, patent pending (and savagely defended).
87. LionStone (Posts: 743; Member since: 10 Dec 2010)
Actually when the keyboard does that, at that moment, they are being hacked, someone is taking a screenshot of their password, dang...sketchy huh?

"Any aluminum product may scratch or chip with use, exposing its natural silver color. That is normal."-SVP of Marketing of Apple.
A totally different issue for the iPhone 5.
Any problems? Deal with it.
20. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
and that makes ip5 naturally magical lol.
29. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
lol I know the i$heep will say "I are cooler than you because my iPhone 5 has static lines & your phone doesn't. Cheap Android phones!"
YES real high quality is that new iPhone 5! lol
32. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
The sad part is: such big lines for such a small display.
33. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
lol. now i am waiting for their svp of marketing to come up with something like, "its only natural for a magical screen to show static lines."
45. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
THAT IS IT! I am tired that the iPhone 5 is so much better than my Galaxy Nexus. So to get those AWESOME static lines on my phone, I am going to slam my phone to the ground.
Now the iPhone 5 will never be better than my GNex!
54. ZEUS.the.thunder.god (unregistered)
it was never better than nexus.
btw i am lovin AOKP jb 4.1.1 on my GNEXUS
57. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4833; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Yeah I run with Eclipse Build 15. Build 16 is right around the corner.
Very smooth, fast & has all the customization options I want. I know it doesn't have what AOKP has but I just love the smoothness & battery life I get when I run Franco's Kernel @ 1.8GHz with 512GPU.
Smooth like the butter on that comes with my Alaskan King Crab Legs.
73. bkb01 (Posts: 43; Member since: 21 Aug 2012)
i agree if its just a painted aluminum , but claiming its anodized means the color is totally incorporated in the metal. which makes it hard to scratch, hell even my old n8 which i dropped a couple of times survived without any scratches.
78. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
I scratched my n8, trying to test its aluminum unibody. It did leave a white mark that I can't remove. By the way, I used a cutter for doing so. And f**k*ng regret every second of doing so. :3
If being dropped, it's not a problem. But scratching it will be a problem.
82. bkb01 (Posts: 43; Member since: 21 Aug 2012)
that is one tough cutter. the way people describe the aluminum of the iphone though it seems like just putting it in your pants with keys would scratch the aluminum back, which never happened to my n8. Never did try to use cutter to scratch it though. forgot to mention it got a dent when it fell but suprisingly no chip offs or scratches since the color of the dent was the same. Which made me appreciate anodized versus just coated.
90. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
What I love about my n8 was it's plastic top and bottom. :D It fell from the second deck of my double deck bed, and I didn't notice that there was a dent on the plastic top. It's amazing because the color of the plastic top and bottom was like made from core to crust. :D
85. bayusuputra (Posts: 962; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
haha, my Desire S is aluminium, but I only chipped it after a 6 feet drop.. not out of the box.. and that's from a company that is not doing so well these days.. so what about the magical fruit?
so magical it leaves you blinded..

Ouch.......... Problems doesn't seems to stop for iPhone 5, users are digging in for one problem after other in iPhone 5................ Sh*t like this do happen, when you don't do proper quality checks............ Apple time to cut back on your huge proit margin, and bring back manufacturing of ios device to USA from mainland china..........
86. bayusuputra (Posts: 962; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
what does bringing back manufacturing line back to USA if apple will still come up with half-baked products? Even if you get the best in the states, if apple is still playing catching up like this and rushing their products, these problems will still surface.. and many of the iPhone 5 problems are software related problems, and there is no way those foxconn workers have anything to do with that.. of course, the chipping may and most probably their faults (or maybe the QC team).. but all these static lines and map fiasco, it's all apple..
the only thing apple should do is to start innovating again and stop litigating..
7. drnggaj33 (Posts: 127; Member since: 29 Feb 2012)
apple customer say my iphone never has problems .....50 million iphone none get exched yea ok theyre replacements like every other company and the new ios6 sw sux ....the maps is one of them ....apple busy exching ip5 lmao #ISHEEP
43. SleepingOz (unregistered)
'coz these are not considered as "problems" by Apple actually!
They're part of the new feature called iSsues developed by the iSue department/Apple Inc, Cupertino, CA.

LOL Wendy gets a +1 from me.
88. LionStone (Posts: 743; Member since: 10 Dec 2010)
Sorry PapaSmurf, I meant to +1 you, and Wendy, for straight up laying it out there and asking someone to give her their i5, nice.

When you buy a second rate, outdated, inferior product, you should expect a user experience and results of the same caliber!

16. Nookie4u (Posts: 133; Member since: 13 Aug 2012)
They say we'll be blown away by iPhone 5 but so far the only thing that's blown me away is the number of problems and complaints that iPhone 5 brought along.
19. shamatuu (Posts: 159; Member since: 02 Nov 2011)
boy for a company like apple to have many problems on their flagship phone is not surprising to me. Again simple solution is return or better solution don't buy one at all. I bet there will be even more problems coming It will give you a headache if not already. YOU never see these kind of problems with any Android or Windows phones ever.
21. steve_jobs01 (Posts: 2; Member since: 25 Sep 2012)
You're looking at it the wrong way!
24. Gary123 (Posts: 7; Member since: 19 Sep 2012)
Problems started to come when Steve Job left....
25. Aeires (unregistered)
Agreed. Steve was a tyrant for quality, Tim is just a bean counter. From other articles I've read, there's a big disagreement between the hardware teams and the software teams on what the direction of the company should be. That would never happen under Steve's direction.
And of course, when your designer is knighted, you get more emphasis on hardware than software. Even die hard Apple fans were let down with iOS 6. The iPhone5 does look good though.

Wasn't he still at the helm when the antenna fiasco occurred?
55. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
yea but its arguable that with the cancer treatments and such he was undergoing, he was pretty physically depleted, so Im sure his mind wasn't focused on it.
26. bubbadoes (Posts: 968; Member since: 03 May 2012)
What a nice launch... The iphone 5 looks much cheaper than 4/4S model...Feels cheaper also with the aluminum back. I don't know which is worse... The glass breaking on the back of previous models, or walking around with a dent in the aluminum back of the iphone 5. The longer 4 inch model looks antiquated...The length of the phone should have been matched by width also...IOS6 still has that bored blue background in the mail app, and so on...MAPS--go figure...I'm lost...Do not disturb--built in feature in Android...no nfc, no sd...Missing major components in 2012 to even compete with Android....Still wondering how they will continue to come out with 6, 7, 8 and so one.
27. ilia1986 (unregistered)
So.. The iPhone 5 should definitely add these to it's feature list:
- An easily scratched back
- Display light leaking out of the body
- Yellow spots on display upon touching it
- Display flickering
And now - static lines on the keyboard.
iPhone 5. The worst iPhone. Since iPhone. LOL.

Santorum a Sweater Vest Icon Forever

Rick Santorum's concession speech went over well in Minnesota. Not because people wanted to see him go, but because he name-dropped the factory responsible for his ubiquitous sweater vest. Phones started ringing at the Bemidji Woolen Mills before Santorum left the podium, says the Pioneer, and they haven't stopped since.

quote: You cite religion, tradition, morals, science and freedoms as if it was a list you have to prioritize or balance. I see each of those as separate entities. I don't have to give up freedoms to respect traditions.
quote: No, exactly. And that was really my point. The image I have of conservatives (This image may very well be a wrong one, I'm not denying that.) is that many of them seem to put for instance their religious beliefs, or what they themselves find "morally right" (what does that even mean?) over other people's freedom to live their life the way they want and find right and just.
quote: "I don't like it/my religion doesn't allow it, therefore it should be prohibited for everyone." It's a matter of trying to prevent anyone with opposing views from exercising their rights, which is, amusingly, the exact thing many self proclaimed conservatives in here seem to want to pin on liberals. :)
quote: And no, having morals is not a hindrance to scientific advance. :) Morals is entirely a good thing. The problem starts when people try to impose their morals on others, thereby limiting other people's opportunity to advance. This I feel is somewhat of a conservative trait.

Focus on a complete mastitis cure
Focus on a complete mastitis cure
Reduce Mastitis Relapse with Extended Duration of Therapy
Mastitis is always a costly disease, but the cost and inconvenience can be magnified even further if a treated cow relapses with a recurring infection. Utilizing extended duration of therapy can help provide the best chance for a complete cure, helping reduce the chance of relapse and cost of treatment failure.
Work with your veterinarian to develop appropriate treatment protocols that may include extended therapy:
1. Implement an ongoing culturing program to identify common pathogens on the dairy
2. Review culture data to develop appropriate treatment protocol options
3. Train employees to identify mastitis and make proper treatment decisions
4. Treat early and aggressively to help improve the chance of a complete cure
Could extended therapy help improve your treatment outcomes? Learn more at www.milkqualityfocus.com. Ruben Gonzalez, quality milk manager with Pfizer Animal Health, discusses the difference between a clinical cure and a complete cure and the benefits of extended therapy.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Kanye West
- 1996
College Dropout
An English major at Chicago State University, where his mother, Donda, chairs the department, West quits school to pursue his music career full-time. "He said, 'Mom, I can do this, and I don't need to go to college, because I've had a professor in the house with me my whole life,'" Donda West tells Time. "I'm thinking, this boy is at it again. He always could twirl a word." (West's parents divorced when he was young.)
- 2001
Jay-Z's Architect
After turning out hit singles for Common, Ludacris and Cam'Ron, among others, West gets his big break when Jay-Z asks him to produce several tracks on his chart-topping album The Blueprint.
- 2002
Near Death Experience
On his way home from a marathon recording session in L.A., West crashes his Lexus after falling asleep at the wheel. While recovering in the hospital, West pens "Through the Wire," a song about the crash where he jokes about drinking "a Boost for breakfast, a Ensure for dizzert/Somebody ordered pancakes, I just sip the sizzurp." He'll record the song three weeks later with his jaw still wired shut. The finished track convinces Roc-A-Fella Records to let him move in front of the mic and push through approval for his first solo album. "Death," West tells Time, "is the best thing that can ever happen to a rapper. Almost dying isn't bad either."
- 2004
Slow Jamz, Fast Start
West's debut album The College Dropout is an immediate hit, selling 441,000 copies in its first week. Not that West needs sales figures to validate his work. "You can't judge The College Dropout. It's something completely different," he tells the AP. "It's definitely a classic, if I [could] step aside from myself and say that."
Sore Loser
Nominated for three American Music Awards, West walks out of the show after losing the Best New Artist award to country newcomer Gretchen Wilson. "I feel I was definitely robbed...I was the best new artist this year," he complains backstage to the Associated Press. "I don't know if I'll be back at this award show next year." A month later he was a little more circumspect. "I came up to Gretchen [before the Grammy press conference] and apologized," he tells Entertainment Weekly. "And I want to apologize to my black role models, like Jay-Z and Oprah Winfrey, for being overemotional. I was doing a disservice to everything my forefathers have done to allow black people to get to this place."
- 2005
It's His Party
The most nominated artist at the 47th Annual Grammy Awards with 10 nods, West takes home three trophies – Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song for "Jesus Walks" and Best R&B Song for producing Alicia Keys' "You Don't Know My Name." Rocking in an Yves Saint Laurent suit, West celebrates by throwing his own party along with Boost Mobile in L.A.'s Miracle Mile district. It gets so packed that the fire marshal closes the guest list at 1 a.m. West wins three more awards at the following year's ceremony, including Best Rap Album for Late Registration.
Cover Artist
With the headline "Hip-Hop's Class Act," West becomes one of the rare entertainers to appear on the cover of Time. The lengthy article details the contradictions of The College Dropout and of West himself, who admits that when starting out in hip-hop, "It was a strike against me that I didn't wear baggy jeans and jerseys and that I never hustled, never sold drugs." In April, Time had tapped West as one of the year's 100 most influential people.
Sophomore Success
West shoots to No. 1 with his second album, Late Registration, topping the Billboard album and singles charts thanks to "Gold Digger," his collaboration with Jamie Foxx. "It uses profanity, and it's shocking and controversial and f----- up and funny," West tells Playboy about the song. "It's so perfect and out of the park."
Hurricane of Controversy
"George Bush doesn't care about black people." Those seven words become a national headline when West strays from his scripted monologue at the live televised Concert for Hurricane Relief. He criticizes the government's response in helping Katrina victims. With a shocked looking Mike Myers at his side, West's comments air live on NBC on the East Coast but are edited out of the West Coast version later that night. "People have lost their lives, lost their families," he says a week later on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. "It's the least I could do to go up there and say something from my heart."
- 2006
Diamond Life
West proposes to Alexis Phifer on the island of Capri. West split with model Brooke Crittenden earlier this year and has dated Phifer off and on for years. In 2008, they call off their engagement. "It's always sad when things like this end, and we remain friends," Phifer tells PEOPLE. "I wish him the best in his future and all of his endeavors. He's one of the most talented people I've ever met."

Thursday, October 3, 2013
Andrea Miller, 29, of Ridgeville, has been charged with Felony DUI in a deadly crash that occurred at 3:15 a.m., Thursday morning in Dorchester County.
Vickie Turner Bryant, 56, of St. George, was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:41 a.m., according to the Dorchester County Coroner's Office.
According to South Carolina Highway Patrol, the wreck happened on Highway 78 at Orangeburg Road and involved three vehicles.
According to Sr. Trooper Bridget Wyant, Vehicle 1 -- a 1998 dump truck, full of asphalt, driven by Delane Carter, 45, of Ladson -- was stopped in traffic for a flag man in a construction zone.
Vehicle 2, a 2002 Buick driven by the deceased who was wearing a seat belt, was stopped behind vehicle 1.
Vehicle 3, a 2010 Hyundai, driven by Miller under the influence, but wearing a seat belt, failed to stop, hitting the rear of vehicle 2 driving it into the rear of vehicle 1. Miller was transported to Trident Medical Center with minor injuries and then booked into the Dorchester County Detention Center.
All three vehicles were traveling west on 78.
According to witnesses on scene, it appeared Miller never slowed down as she approached the stopped traffic.
The crash is still under investigation by the SCHP.

Family Recovery Center Publicist
Christopher Kennedy Lawford grew up privileged, the son of actor Peter Lawford and Patricia Kennedy, sister of the late President.
He will visit this area when he is guest speaker at an Evening of Inspiration hosted by Family Recovery Center as the agency celebrates its 40th anniversary. The event also is a fundraiser for FRC's ADAPT Coalition. Lawford, actor, author and activist, is on the road to help dispel the stigma and shame of addiction and recovery.
What is ADAPT? It is the Alcohol Drug Addiction Prevention Team of Columbiana County. In December ADAPT was recognized for exemplary efforts in raising awareness of drug and alcohol abuse among youth and young adults in the county and prevention of such. There are leadership teams from 15 police departments and 11 school districts, including the Career Center.
"It's important for parents to intervene early in their children's lives," Lawford, now 26 years sober, says. He had his first drink at age 12, as a lot of kids do, he says. He spent 18 years trying to recover from his substance abuse.
"This disease is really difficult. You have to change everything in your life...I couldn't stay stopped," he says in an interview with Bill O'Reilly. But, "I found a community of people who knew how to stay sober...It's imperative that you get honest with yourself and honest with others."
He tells Soledad O'Brien his book is an "accessible text book." He went to the 150 smartest people in evidence-based research who are "credible beyond reproach" and learned the science of addiction, that it is a brain disease. He also shared his list of seven tools to help someone with addiction find their way out, because, he says, you have to assess the harm in your life:
1.) Stop using.
2.) 12-step programs are incredibly helpful.
3.) Cognitive behavior is also extremely helpful.
4.) Exercise.
5.) Meditation.
6.) Nutrition.
7.) Journaling
Lawford says it's about retraining the mind.
Lawford's cousin, Patrick Kennedy is a former congressman who has struggled with addiction. He says that nine out of 10 addicts start at about age 12. The brain is not fully developed at that age. The prefrontal cortex, which is the stop mechanism in our lives, is not yet developed at that young age.
If you aren't convinced about the accessibility of alcohol and drugs for youth, here are a few statistics from Parents Who Host Lose the Most: The community and parent survey results for a 2011-2012 underage drinking survey say,
- 86 percent think underage drinking is a problem.
- 79 percent think it is easy for youth to obtain alcohol.
- 89 percent think illegal drug use among adults is a problem.
There is a substance abuse problem in Columbiana County. The ADAPT Coalition strives to change that, with your help. You are invited to join Family Recovery Center and the ADAPT Coalition at Antone's Banquet Centre, 8578 Market St., Boardman, on May 7. Doors will open at 5:30 p.m. Hors d'oeuvre reception and Chinese auction will be held from 5:30 to 6:30. The buffet dinner will begin at 6:30 and the program will begin at 7:30.
Lawford will be signing copies of his book, Recover to Live: Kick Any Habit, Manage Any Addiction. Reservations are required. Cost for the evening is $50 per person. For more information about the event contact the FRC Education Department at 330-424-0531.
For information about FRC and its programs, contact the agency at 964 N. Market St., Lisbon; phone, 330-424-1468; or visit the web site at www.familyrecovery.org. You may also be interested in the ADAPT Coalition web site, www.adaptcoalition.org or Facebook page, ADAPT Coalition of Columbiana County. ADAPT Coalition was developed with funding from the Office of National Drug Control Policy and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Tyler Ferguson has never been farther east than Houston, Texas, so one has to wonder how he'll react when he steps on campus at Penn State for the first time when he enrolls on Jan. 4, three days before he turns 19.
It's not only a country's length away from Ferguson's hometown of Bakersfield, Calif., but State College is a far cry in terms of climate from the balmy south-central region of the Golden State or arid Visalia, where he went to junior college.
"I understand it going to be a little colder than I'm used to," Ferguson said. "But it's nothing a couple of jackets and a pair of pants can't fix."

Tyler Ferguson rolls out to pass during his high school days in California.
That Ferguson is making the long journey to Penn State sight unseen is one of just several unusual sidelights to the 6-foot-4, 210-pound quarterback from Ridgeview High School by way of the College of the Sequoias who almost decided to play college basketball instead of football, then almost decided to go to Houston and feels just about at home in the kitchen as the weight room.
Ferguson said his decision had more to do with the people - like head coach Bill O'Brien and his chief recruiter, quarterbacks coach Charlie Fisher - than the locale.
"Just the relationship I built with Coach Fisher and Coach O'Brien. They have been talking to me and learning everything there is to know about me and letting me know everything there is to know about Penn State for four and a half to five months now," Ferguson said. "Coach Fisher came up to see me, and I really felt the most comfortable with him out of any coach from any school I've talked to.
"I feel like I've almost already been there."
Ferguson, who has three years of eligibility, will compete with another sophomore from a part of the country seldom associated with Penn State in the past, Georgia's Steven Bench, to be the Nittany Lions' starting quarterback next fall. Ferguson is the second-rated junior college quarterback prospect in the country according to 247Sports.com.
"He's a really bright kid. He graduated early from high school. He's athletic. He's six-five. He has a very quick release. He's got a lot of upside. He's got a strong arm and can make all the throws," said College of the Sequoias coach Robert Dougherty, once a standout quarterback with that college himself. "I think he'll flourish under Coach O'Brien in their system."
As a freshman with the Giants, Ferguson completed 55.6 percent of his passes for 2,614 yards and 22 touchdowns with 12 interceptions during a 4-6 season.
Ferguson probably is best regarded for his ability to throw deep accurately.
"My favorite pass to throw is probably a deep post, or something like it," Ferguson said. "I don't mind dinking and dunking it, but, if everything's working and you can just let it go, it's more fun to complete a 65-yard pass."
Ferguson's decision to join to Nittany Lions didn't just come up against the deadline. It crossed it. He already had made a verbal commitment to Houston after a Dec. 7 visit there when it appeared Penn State was in the driver's seat to land JUCO player of the year Jake Waters. When Waters instead picked Kansas State on Dec. 13, Penn State quickly offered Ferguson a scholarship. After about 36 hours of deliberation, he accepted the Lions' offer.
An issue with the NCAA clearinghouse and his credits made it impossible for Ferguson to arrange a visit to Penn State before actually signing a letter-of-intent to play for the Lions last week.
"That whole day, I don't think I was off the phone between Coach O'Brien, Coach Fisher, the NCAA, my dad and everyone," said Ferguson, who also had scholarship offers from Toledo and Florida Atlantic.
Ironically, it was almost by chance that Ferguson ended up playing college football at all. After a strong camp showing entering his senior year of high school, Ferguson picked right up by throwing for 1,211 yards and 10 TDs as Ridgeview opened the year with six wins.
However, in the sixth game, he broke his collarbone. He was out until the playoffs, when he came back to go 5-for-5 in limited action. The college attention, though, dried up in the meantime.
"Then I played in a California all-star game. I was probably the only kid uncommitted, and the COS coaches were there at the game," Ferguson said. "At first, I blew them off, not because they were a junior college, but because I was going DI. Then I realized, hey, no DI wants me. Then I thought I was going to play basketball in college, but the COS coaches came and talked to me again."
While Ferguson had excelled on the court - he says his favorite sports memory is a baseline drive dunk in a game - football always has taken priority. He began playing in third grade and was immediately put on a team with kids two and three years older. It took a little time to get his position down, though.
"I started to play receiver for about five minutes before the coaches came over and said, 'No, you're not a receiver,'" Ferguson said. "So I saw there were two kids at quarterback and I said, 'Well, I want to play there.' Since that day I've been a quarterback."
Ferguson said he follows college football religiously, so he knows what has been going on at Penn State even though it is three time zones from his home. When he's not playing, he makes a couple of trips per day to the gym - "three times a day, if my dad doesn't take my car keys," Ferguson said - but he likes to cut up food almost as much as opposing secondaries.
"I like cooking. I like to be as healthy as humanly possible, so I'm always looking new things to eat, new ways to cook that, new ways to put on weight," Ferguson said.
One thing is sure: With everything Ferguson has gone through, Penn State has landed itself a hungry quarterback.
"Even before I got hurt, I didn't have an offer. I was being talked to by a lot of people, but, for whatever reason, it seemed like schools were offering everybody else but me," Ferguson said. "It was always, 'We like you, but this,' or if it's not this, it's that. It just kept building on me and building on me and building on me. I work out and throw everyday with the mindset that 158 or how many schools in Division I all passed on me, so I'm going to go out and prove all of those schools wrong."

What is Celiac Sprue?
Celiac disease is a genetic disorder. In people with celiac disease, eating certain types of protein, called gluten, sets off an autoimmune response that causes damage to the small intestine. This causes the small intestine to lose its ability to absorb the nutrients found in food, leading to malnutrition and a variety of other complications.
There is no cure. The only treatment is a lifelong adherence to a gluten-free diet.

New Money.
Thats Chase Ganeys nickname.
Ganey is New Money because Old Money is already taken.
Thats Kyle Garrick.
Ganey singled, doubled, hit a three-run homer and drove home six RBIs to lead the fourth ranked Berkeley Stags to a 9-1 gaffing of the St. James Sharks Friday night, May 2 at Jim Bradley Field.
The playoffs are on and the two-time Region 8AAA champions are off to the races.
One game, one team at a time, said Garrick, Old Money, who like Ganey, had three hits and scored twice. The win was Garricks 94th over the senior catchers five-year career.
Josh Simmons, the number five hitter likewise had three hits, including a pair of doubles and three runs scored.
On the hill, Zach Gonzales scattered four hits over five innings and did not allow an earned run to pick up the win.
I thought we came out a little tight in the early innings, said Coach Landy Cox. We settled down after the third and started hitting the ball.
Again, it was Ganey who delivered the big blow, a Big Fly to right center in the five-run fifth that left no doubt.
Eric Orton added two hits and a run scored to round out the 12-hit Berkeley attack.
With the win, the Stags were to face Marlboro County on Monday May 5. The winner of this game would advance to the District VIII finals on Friday, May 9.

In the Mets Locker Room, an Old Slur Resurfaces
By Stu Woo
In the New York Mets locker room Monday morning, I was talking with Jeff Cutler, a 30-year old Japanese American from suburban Boston who serves as the interpreter for Japanese-born pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka.
We were talking casually about Asian communities in America when we heard a voice behind us.
Cutler and I turned around. It was Dan Warthen, the Mets pitching coach.
"I'm sorry I called you a 'Chinaman' yesterday," Warthen told Cutler.
"It's OK," Cutler replied.
"I didn't mean to insinuate –- I know you're not Chinese," Warthen said. He paused. "I thought it was a pretty good joke, though."
"It was," Cutler said, with a small laugh.
Warthen walked away.
I didn't say anything, but I was startled. As a 27-year-old Chinese American who grew up in San Francisco, I couldn't remember the last time I heard the term "Chinaman," a derogatory word originally given by white Americans to Chinese immigrants in the 19th century.
I might have heard it used on the grade-school playground, but never before in dozens of NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball locker rooms I've been to as a sports reporter.
It surprised me that the 61-year-old Warthen, who pitched in the major leagues in the 1970s before starting his coaching career, would use that word at all -– and so casually. Was he saying that he wanted to apologize for saying "Chinaman" only because he'd said it to a man of Japanese, rather than Chinese, descent? Did he think that the word itself was OK to use—or that it was acceptable material for jokes?
Warthen might not have known my race, or even that I was a reporter; he could have missed the media credential hanging from my neck, too: My back was to him when he approached Cutler. Still, the locker was open to journalists at the time.
On Tuesday morning, Cutler served as the interpreter for an interview between Matsuzaka and me. Afterward, I asked Cutler about Warthen's remarks.
Were you offended by Warthen's joke? I asked him.
"No," Cutler said.
What was the joke? I asked.
"You should ask Dan about that," Cutler replied.
I've been around pro athletes long enough to know that locker rooms aren't exactly bastions of maturity. Many of my colleagues have heard worse. Still, Warthen had used the term in front of two people who had every reason to be offended. And he did so in a casual way in a work environment -– one where he holds a position of power. I didn't want to be complicit in tolerating the use of a slur that should have been retired long ago.
On Tuesday afternoon I caught up with the Mets' vice president of media relations, Jay Horwitz. Horwitz asked me to meet him and Warthen in the Mets dugout at 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday to discuss the matter. But when I got to the Mets facility Wednesday, Horwitz said Warthen wasn't going to comment. Cutler wasn't in the locker room.
Late Wednesday, the Mets issued statements from both Warthen and general manager Sandy Alderson.
"I apologize for the thoughtless remarks that I made yesterday in the clubhouse. They were a poor attempt at humor but were wrong and inappropriate in any setting. I am very sorry," Warthen said.
"On behalf of the entire organization, I apologize for the insensitive remarks made by of one of our staff members. The remarks were offensive and inappropriate and the organization is very sorry," added Alderson.

WASHINGTON – The 113th Congress and Western New York's newest congressman took office Thursday poised for confrontations that could make the nation's encounter with the "fiscal cliff" look like a stumble over a sidewalk crack.
House Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, faced with a deeply divided Republican caucus, narrowly won re-election from lawmakers who are primed for a fight over the federal debt ceiling at the end of February, as well as near-simultaneous battles over 10-year spending cuts and funding for programs through fiscal 2013, which ends Sept. 30.
Republicans are expected to demand deep budget cuts from President Obama and congressional Democrats in return for an extension of the debt ceiling.
And the newly sworn-in congressman from New York's 27th District, former Erie County Executive Chris Collins, seemed eager to join the battle, saying Congress needs to act to tame trillion-dollar federal deficits that threaten future generations with an overload of debt.
"About the only leverage the Republicans have is the debt limit," Collins said. "If the only leverage we have is the debt limit, I'll be there saying I'm fighting for my children, your children, our grandchildren. We're going to have to make some tough decisions, not unlike what I did as county executive. And everyone's going to have to pay a price for this."
Obama has said, though, that he will not negotiate on the issue of raising the debt ceiling, and congressional Democrats echo that sentiment.
"It's reckless and irresponsible" for Republicans to use the debt ceiling issue to extract spending cuts, said Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo. "It does permanent damage to the economy and the financial markets."
The full-fledged debate over the debt ceiling is more than a month away, so in a sense, Thursday's opening of the new Congress served more as a reflection on the recent fiscal cliff battle than a precursor for the fight yet to come.
Boehner won a second term as speaker with 220 Republican votes. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., received 192 votes.
Nine conservatives angry with Boehner's stewardship of the fiscal cliff issue voted for other GOP candidates such as Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia, who got three votes, and former Rep. Allen West of Florida. Three Republicans abstained.
Presiding over an unruly caucus that was deeply split over a fiscal cliff deal that passed thanks to a majority of Democratic votes, a teary-eyed Boehner used his victory speech, it seemed, to admonish his critics.
"If you have come here to see your name in lights or to pass off political victory as accomplishment, you have come to the wrong place," he said. "The door is behind you."
But the rebels were undeterred.
"We need a conservative speaker," Rep. Tim Huelskamp, R-Kan., part of a loosely organized and failed attempt to deny Boehner the speakership on the first ballot, said in an interview with Bloomberg News. "We need a red-state speaker."
Both Collins and Rep. Tom Reed, R-Corning, supported Boehner.
"I was proud to vote for John," Collins said. "We need to get our financial house in order, and as speaker of the House, I'm confident he's going to help us in that conversation and the debate."
Boehner and Collins disagreed, though, on the fiscal cliff legislation that passed the House on New Year's night. While Boehner reluctantly supported it, Collins said he would have voted against it had he been in the House at the time.
In his first detailed comments on policy issues since defeating Rep. Kathleen C. Hochul, D-Hamburg, in November, Collins said he opposed the fiscal cliff deal because it didn't include any spending cuts. "It's adding to the nation's debt," the Clarence Republican said of the deal. "We have to be working on the reverse of that."
That seems to be what Boehner intends to do, judging from his comments on the House floor.
"Our government has built up too much debt. Our economy is not producing enough jobs. These are not separate problems," Boehner said. "The American Dream is in peril so long as its namesake is weighed down by this anchor of debt. Break its hold, and we begin to set our economy free."
The close vote for the speakership, followed by Boehner's emotional acceptance speech, capped a day of drama on Capitol Hill.
As the Senate reconvened, Sen. Mark Kirk, R-Ill., who suffered a stroke almost a year ago, made a dramatic return, walking haltingly up the steps of the Capitol as his colleagues looked on and cheered.
Kirk returned to a Congress that's slightly more Democratic than the one that left office Thursday as one of the least productive and least popular in the nation's history.
The freshman class of 12 senators includes eight Democrats and an independent, Angus King of Maine, who will caucus with Democrats, as well as three Republicans.
Prominent new faces in the Senate include Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who gained fame as a critic of big banks, and Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., the nation's first openly gay senator.
Democrats will have a 55-45 edge in the new Senate, while Republicans hold a 233-200 advantage in the new House, which has two vacancies.
Collins was one of six Republicans who ousted incumbent Democrats, doing so in a conservative suburban-and-rural district that only became more Republican-leaning through reapportionment.
In an interview Thursday shortly before taking office, Collins vowed to keep the interests of his district first and foremost on his list of priorities.
"My focus is going to be to be a very good constituent service congressman, representing the 27th Congressional District – certainly to work on the economic issues of the industries in our district," he said, "but also to have the best district constituent service."
Collins will be serving on the Agriculture and Small Business committees. His work on those committees, he said, will be perfectly tailored to the district's needs.
"This district is so agricultural," Collins said. "I'm coming in and serving on a committee that's very important to the 27th District, at a very important time, because we need a farm bill."
The nation is operating under a temporary extension of a five-year farm bill that expired last year, and Collins vowed to try to take care of his district's dairy farmers and produce growers in the legislation the committee will be drawing up this year.
Meanwhile, he said his experience as a small-businessman himself will lend itself to service on the Small Business panel.
The path laid out by Collins is a very different one from that of his predecessors in a district that produced Republican leaders such as Jack Kemp, Bill Paxon and Tom Reynolds and then a Democratic shooting star in Hochul.
But Collins said there's a reason why he has more modest expectations than he would have if he had won his 1998 run for Congress against then-Rep. John J. LaFalce, D-Town of Tonawanda.
"I'm 62 years old," Collins said. "It's different than if I had gone in when I was 48. A 62-year-old member of Congress, versus a 48-year-old member of Congress, are in two different places in their life."
He also acknowledged that serving as a back-bench, first-term congressman is far different from serving as county executive, an office where Collins earned a reputation as a brutally effective manager.
"I'm not the guy that's signing the checks," he said. "I'm not the president hiring Cabinet officials to run various departments. It's a very different job than being the CEO. … I'm coming into this to give insight and be part of the debate."
And that's just what the new Congress needs, said Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.
"Any time you have new members arriving, you have that expectation of bringing fresh ideas and kind of a vitality that is needed," Manchin told the Associated Press. "We hope that they're coming eager to work hard and make some difficult decisions and put the country first and not be bogged down ideologically."

COLUMBIANA - Southern's Luke Griffith shot himself into the record books on Friday night by connecting on nine three-pointers - eclipsing the old school record of eight - in a 64-42 win over Columbiana.
"They came out in that zone and we just started working the ball and got the zone moving a little bit," Griffith said. "The guys got me the ball and I was able to hit shots."
Griffith edged Ethan Blatch, an assistant coach, by one triple for the new record, which was set during Blatch's senior season in 2008.

Blatch gave Griffith a congratulatory hug after the game.
"Luke's a kid who I have helped coach since he was in fifth grade and I played with his brother," Blatch said. "It's cool to see you a kid grow from that little to where he is now. I wouldn't have wanted anybody else to get it. That was very special for me to see a player who you have put a lot of work into succeed like that on a high-level."
As a kid, Griffith watched Blatch knock down many three-pointers during his career as an Indian.

Three-point field goals: Southern Local - 12 (Griffith 9, Ketchum 2, Napierkowski); Columbiana - 8 (Minor 3, Franken 3, Rice, Garofalo).
"It was nice because he came over after the game and gave me a hug and everything," Griffith said. "It was cool to watch him shoot the ball when I was little."
The Clippers (3-13, 3-8 in the ITCL lower tier) hung with the Indians (13-5, 8-4) early on, using solid outside shooting, particularly from Austin Minor and Bryce Franken, who each knocked down a pair of threes.
Franken and Minor each finished with nine points.
As the Clippers' shooting began to cool off, Griffith's shots began to fall at an increasing rate.
Griffith converted on a rare four-point play midway through the first quarter after being fouled while connecting on a three-pointer from the wing. He sunk the extra shot.
"That's tough, but it's nice whenever you get your release off and your follow-through and then they bump you," Griffith said. "Getting fouled and putting the shot up at the same time is a lot tougher."
He finished with 33 points on the night, including four consecutive threes in the second quarter that accounted for 12 of his team's 14 points in the frame.
"It gives you confidence, knowing what they're doing and you know you can swing the ball around and get open shots," Griffith said. That's how you have to play it, down at home when they came out in the zone we didn't do that and it was a lot closer game."
At the half, Southern held a double digit lead at 29-18.
"Whenever you play against a zone you have to knock down outside shots," Southern head coach George Whittaker said. "We got the ball inside a little bit and Kyler (Woodward) scored a little bit but it wasn't really his game because they were trapping him inside."
Woodward finished with eight points on the night.
Having knocked down six threes in the first half, Griffith came out and knew how close he was in the second to eclipsing the record. He reached it at the 2:23 mark of the fourth quarter.
"I knew where I was because I had come close before," Griffith said. "In our first game against Lisbon, I made seven. So I knew how far away I was."
"I was glad I was here for it he had a chance earlier this year and Coach Whittaker took him out," Blatch said. "The guys joked with me saying I told coach to take Luke out against Lisbon, I'm glad he got it tonight."
Southern local won the jayvee game 58-36.
Notes: The Clippers were celebrating homecoming night and introduced members of the court prior to the start of the varsity game. Members included queen Lindsey Roncone, Kristi Mellott, Colette Steiginga, Jake Dejong, king Britton Steiginga and Jared Hill.

Bill peacefully left his family and friends on December 3, 2012, just 10 days shy of his 95th birthday. He was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and through the 1940s and 1950s pursued a career in public service, beginning with the FBI and then as a highly decorated officer in the United States Marine Corps. Also during that time he received his masters degree from the University of Minnesota in International Law and later received his doctorate degree in International Relations from Columbia Pacific University.
He married his wife Theresa in 1953 and upon retiring from the military in 1977, they left their ranch on the Big Island in Hawaii and moved to Moraga, California. There, Bill taught at St. Mary's College and then continued his teaching career at Sierra Nevada College when he and Theresa moved to Incline Village in 1989.
He had many interests, including playing the piano, writing poetry and being involved with Native American and Indigenous People's projects.
He is predeceased by his beloved wife Theresa and their beloved dogs Buddy and Bunky. He is survived by his daughter and son-in law, Kristin and Colin Oishi, granddaughters Nicole Oishi and Larissa (Daniel) Emerson, and great granddaughters Chloe, Charlie and Piper. He is also survived by his nieces Mary (Gordon) McChesney and Margaret (Michael) Levy.
A memorial service will be held Monday, December 17th at 4:00 pm at St Francis of Assisi Catholic Church In Incline Village.
Any donations in Bill's memory to the Wylie Animal Rescue foundation would be gratefully appreciated.

Wanted: More Home Economics
The idea of high-school home-economics courses seems outdated to some, but experts, including the first lady, are emphasizing the need for students to learn the skills taught in home ec.
Traditionally, the image of a home economics class in high school has been a room of young women in aprons, pulling perfect casseroles out of the oven. But, the (now-named) Family and Consumer Sciences courses in high schools often teach more than potato peeling. Many of the classes are geared toward learning about independent living, which includes food preparation and other skills such as child-rearing, money management and more.
On Thursday, First Lady Michelle Obama called for students to learn more about cooking meals. Ms. Obama echoed experts in her assertion that one reason parents struggle to serve more healthful food at home is because they don't know how to cook. The American Association of Family & Consumer Sciences uses the obesity rate among children in the United States as one of its reasons home economics courses are needed in schools. According to the Centers for Disease Control, more than one-third of children in the U.S. were considered overweight or obese.
Students in every state are enrolled in Family and Consumer Sciences classes. According to a study from the AAFCS, enrollment in Family and Consumer Sciences classes has declined 38% in the past 10 years. (Note: Data wasn't available for Alaska, Maryland, New Hampshire and Oregon.)
Utah has the highest percent of students enrolled in FCS courses with 93%. Wisconsin comes in second with 80% and Pennsylvania is third with 72%. The AAFCS data also show Connecticut has the smallest percent of students in FCS classes with less than 1%. New Jersey also has less than 1% enrolled. (Utah also had lowest percent of obese or overweight high school students; however, New Jersey and Montana tied for the second lowest percent.)
One of the major issues for states is finding highly qualified teachers for FCS courses. According to the study, half of all states have trouble hiring enough highly qualified teachers to teach Family and Consumer Sciences classes. (Note: Data available for 34 states.)

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
BioClinica was merged yesterday with CoreLab Partners by their acquirers, private-equity firm JLL Partners and its majority owner Ampersand Capital Partners, in a $123 million-plus deal intended to create a clinical trials powerhouse at a time when biopharmas are scrambling to replace blockbusters falling off the proverbial patent cliff.
JLL Partners controls a holding company that on Tuesday completed a cash tender offer to purchase all of BioClinica's common stock for $7.25 a share, or $123 million overall. The purchase price represented a premium of 23.2% over its average closing price for the 90 days ended January 29, and 28.7% over the average price for the 52-week period ended January 29, 2013, JLL Partners said when the deal was announced January 30.
The value of the CoreLab acquisition, which was contingent on the BioClinical deal, has not been disclosed.
The newly combined company, which will retain the BioClinica name, will be a private entity with about 900 employees, and no plans for layoffs, Mark L. Weinstein, president and CEO of the combined company, told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The combined company marries the management focus of its namesake predecessor with CoreLab's medical imaging solutions and cardiac safety services for clinical trial sponsors. The new BioClinca said it will offer scientific and medical experience gleaned from the predecessor companies' work on trials for a combined 50 FDA approved drugs—including 33 in oncology—and expertise in therapeutic areas where imaging is critical, such as oncology, neurology, musculoskeletal, and cardiology.
Post-merger, BioClinica will maintain support operations in North America as well as China, Japan, Germany, The Netherlands, and France.
The deal was completed some six weeks after BioClinica announced merger plans on January 30. At the time, the companies said they expected to complete the deal before the end of the first quarter.
"The unification of BioClinica and CoreLab Partners will enhance the existing service quality and technological innovation supported by scientific and medical expertise that have long been hallmarks of these two companies," Weinstein said in a statement. He held the same position with the old BioClinica, which traded its shares on NASDAQ and has said it carried out some 2,000 successful trials over 20 years.
In its final quarterly results as a public company, released last month, old BioClinica said it finished the final three months of 2012 with a 0.6% dip in net income, to $1.158 million from $1.165 million in Q4 2011. For all of 2012, however, pre-merger BioClinica enjoyed a 33% jump in net income over 2011, to $3.7 million from about $2.8 million, on revenues that rose 17% to $98.3 million, up 17% from almost $84 million.
"This merger produces a stronger BioClinica that is better able to support pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device development," Weinstein added.

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
The development of potent and selective monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is a significant challenge. More than 25 antibodies have been approved for human therapy and over 240 antibodies are being clinically developed worldwide for a wide range of diseases.
The quest for better therapeutic antibodies has gained great momentum in recent years, driven by the development of new technologies to better understand the mechanisms of action of antibody-based drugs.
Cisbio Bioassays has developed new tools for the screening and characterization of biotherapeutics using Tag-lite®, its recently launched cell-based technology based on HTRF® (Cisbio's homogeneous fluorescence technology).
Due to its critical involvement in tumor progression, the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family represents a validated target class for anticancer therapy.
How Tag-lite enables the screening of therapeutic antibodies for their binding to receptor tyrosine kinase and determination of their affinities is explained in this article. In addition, how the functional activity of the antibodies can be assessed through the measurement of ERK phosphorylation is shown.
Tag-lite starts with the cloning of the RTK sequence in frame with the SNAP-Tag® fragment in a mammalian expression vector. HEK293 cells are transfected with the SNAP tagged-RTK vector following the lipofectamine 2000 procedure, either in microplates or in T175 flasks. These cells are specifically labeled with the SNAP-Lumi4®-Terbium substrate and used for the antibody binding study in the presence of a d2-labeled antispecies antibody (mouse or human) or a d2-labeled anti-Tag antibody to capture the primary antibody (Figure1A).
In parallel, wild-type RTK or SNAP-RTK expressing cells enabled the antibody functional test to be performed by measuring the ERK phosphorylation level using a cell-based sandwich immunoassay (Figure1B).
Reagents: SNAP-Lumi4-Tb, anti-mouse Fc-d2, anti-human Fc-d2, anti-cMyc-d2, anti-His-d2, SNAP-RTK plasmids, and the labeling medium were from Cisbio Bioassays. Lipofectamin 2000 was purchased from Invitrogen, and the cell-dissociation buffer was from Sigma-Aldrich. Anti-RTK antibodies were obtained from different sources.
Covalent labeling of SNAP-RTK cells: A solution of Tag-lite SNAP-Lumi4-Tb substrate at 100 nM was prepared in Tag-lite labeling medium. After aspiration of the cell culture medium, the SNAP-Lumi4-Tb solution was added to the cells expressing the SNAP-RTK in the T175 flask, followed by one hour incubation at 37ºC. The cells were then washed four times to remove the excess of SNAP-Lumi4-Tb and detached using the cell-dissociation buffer. The cells were frozen under 1 million cells/vial in culture medium and 10% DMSO.
Antibody binding assay: The SNAP-Tb labeled cells were thawed and washed with PBS, then re-suspended in labeling buffer. Binding assays were performed in a total volume of 20 μL in 384 small volume white plates. 10,000 cells/well were incubated for two hours at room temperature with two different concentrations of primary antibodies (10 and 40 nM). Red labeled antispecies antibodies or Red-labeled antitag antibodies were added at a fixed and saturating concentration (100 nM) for the detection.
Erk phosphorylation assay: SNAP-EGFR1 expressing cells were dispensed in 384 sv plates and pretreated or not with Cetuximab or erlotinib (tyrosine kinase inhibitor) for two hours, at 37°C, then stimulated with EGF for 10 minutes. After cell lysis, phosphorylated ERK was quantified by HTRF using the Cellul'erk kit.

The GSMA's government programme provides a framework for regular interactive dialogue and relationship building between ministers, regulators and industry in both developed and developing countries.
Information and communications technologies (ICT) can play a major role in helping governments address complex challenges such achieving sustainable economic growth, combating climate change, improving the delivery of healthcare and providing widespread access to broadband . Realising the full potential of mobile communications to help meet societal and economic challenges requires governments and many different industries to work together, engaging in a constructive and continuous dialogue.
The GSMA endeavours to build bridges between the mobile industry, policy makers and other industries. In support of maintaining and enhancing the dialogue between the mobile industry and the public sector, the GSMA is heavily engaged with key inter-governmental bodies, such as the United Nations, the International Telecommunications Union, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the European Union, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and many other regional organisations.
We also run targeted regional ministerial summits, local seminars and workshops throughout the year and collaborate closely with the ITU — with whom we signed a Memorandum of Understanding in 2007 — to participate fully in ITU regional meetings, conferences and exhibitions.

THIS brings to mind the old saying that demography is destiny:
Deaths exceeded births among non-Hispanic white Americans for the first time in at least a century, according to new census data, a benchmark that heralds profound demographic change.
The disparity was tiny � only about 12,000 � and was more than made up by a gain of 188,000 as a result of immigration from abroad. But the decrease for the year ending July 1, 2012, coupled with the fact that a majority of births in the United States are now to Hispanic, black and Asian mothers, is further evidence ...

Posted on May 3, 2013 in Strings
The basic facts
Construction: Polyolefin Ribbons
Gauges: 17 (1.25mm)
Color(s): Natural
Available in: Sets
Feel: Extremely Comfortable. Low vibration.
Recommended to: all ability levels, but especially those whose chief concern is comfort. A great option for players with tennis elbow. Also perfect for adding feel and vibration dampening to a hybrid.
How does it play?
Isospeed Professional Classic does not have the name recognition of Wilson NXT, Tecnifibre NRG2 or Gamma Professional. Nor does it have the higher price tag. What it does share with these iconic multifilaments is comfort – outstanding comfort. In fact, in the TW String Lab this string received a stiffness score that places it closer to natural gut than any of its more famous peers. The unique ribbons that make up Professional Classic are pre-stretched under high heat. As a result, this string maintains playability quite well while also offering a more muted and controlled response than comparable strings. Finally, no mention of Professional Classic is complete without noting its "Best of Class" vibration dampening. Aside from natural gut, there are few other strings that are as effective at adding comfort to a stiff frame. Anyone in the market for an arm-friendly multi or the perfect hybrid cross is encouraged to give this one a try. (And the price is awfully hard to beat)
What our playtester said;
"Soft without being mushy."
"Installed at the top of the tension range, this string enabled me to swing big enough to generate good spin. Control was excellent and I didn't give away an inch of comfort."
"High marks for tension maintenance, and surprisingly good durability."
"Touch around the net is spectacular. And it has a level of precision and predictability that is typically seen with much firmer strings."
