North of Duisburg the Rhineland's heavy industry gives way to a peaceful, agricultural region dotted with small towns, the place names and flat terrain reflecting the proximity of the Dutch border. Under the Holy Roman Empire the Duchy of Cleve counted for something – famously supplying the English king Henry VIII with one of his wives – but these days the region is mainly of interest as an excursion from the Ruhr, with hourly trains from Duisburg making historic Xanten a magnet for day-trippers. Beyond it, placid Kalkar preserves a more low-key charm.

Men's Volleyball Drops a 3-1 Contest to Penn State
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The Ball State men's volleyball team dropped a tightly contested match with No. 12 Penn State 3-1 (16-25, 25-22, 25-16, 25-22) Saturday afternoon at the Rec Hall South Gym. Larry Wrather and Marcin Niemczewski guided the offense while Matt Leske and Shane Witmer patrolled the net.
Coming into the match Penn State had swept IPFW and Ohio State and had not dropped a set since its 3-1 loss to Hawaii on Jan. 10 in the Outrigger Invitational. With the win Penn State improves to 3-2 on the year while Ball State falls to 1-3.
Wrather finished with a season-high 11 kills, three assists and five digs. Niemczewski equaled Wrather's kill count with 11 to go with a career-high six digs and three assisted blocks. Witmer and Leske were not far off in the kills department at nine and eight each. Leske managed a .467 attack percentage (8-1-15) and a career-high tying three service aces. Graham McIlvaine had 39 assists to go with three kills and four digs.
Witmer was credited with a solo block and six assisted blocks while Leske helped on six blocks. Witmer also added six digs while David Ryan Vander Meer had a team-high seven digs. Kevin Owens added four assisted blocks of his own to go with five kills.
Ball State held the advantage in attack percentage at .257 (47-19-109) – .246 (49-21-114). The Cardinals also had 11.5 total team blocks to the Nittany Lions' nine. Both teams had five service aces but Ball State was hindered by its 15 service errors. Penn State had 10 service errors on the night.
The Cardinals started off the first set with a kill from Wrather, an ace from McIlvaine and a kill from Leske. Ball State maintained a lead throughout the first set, pushing its lead to as many as seven when the score read 18-11 after a Penn State attack error. Niemczewski was able to seal the 25-16 first set win with a kill from Vander Meer.
There were six ties in the early going of the second set, but the Nittany Lions capitalized on three straight kills to take a 10-7 lead. The Cardinals would battle back but a Penn State kill, two aces and a Ball State attack error gave the Nittany Lions a 16-11 edge. Ball State benefitted from an Owens-Witmer block, a Witmer kill and two Penn State attack errors to come back within two points of Penn State, 17-15.
As the Nittany Lions began to pull away in the second set the Cardinals capitalized on kills from Niemczewski and Wrather, a Leske-Witmer block and a Nittany Lions ball handling error to come within one point, 21-20. The set ended 25-22 off a kill from PSU's Peter Russell.
The third set started off back and forth before Penn State went on a run to extend their lead to 14-9. Ball State attack errors and tough kills from Penn State extend the advantage to as many as eight down the stretch for the Nittany Lions in the third frame. Penn State won the third set off an ace from Nick Goddell, his third of the match up to that point.
The Cardinals jumped out to an early 6-3 lead, causing the Nittany Lions to call a timeout. An ace by Leske would give the Cardinals a 7-3 advantage. The fourth set went back and forth before Penn State went on a 4-0 run aided by two service aces from Matt Seifert to take a 10-9 lead causing Ball State to call a timeout.
The two squads battled back and forth knotting things at 21-all off a McIlvaine kill. A Penn State kill and Ball State attack error gave the Nittany Lions a 23-22 lead. Penn State would rattle off two straight kills to take the match.
Penn State was led by Aaron Russell with 21 kills followed by his brother Peter Russell with 14 kills.
The Cardinals are back in action on Friday, Jan. 24 hosting McKendree for a 7:30 p.m. match. Be sure to follow the team on Twitter at @BallStateMVB.

Hello, I was such a huge sailor moon fan when it came out in the USA back in 1995. I also have seen the three sailor moon movies. But, I would like to know if anyone still watches the show or not? I'd like to hear your opinions.
It does not come on anymore where I live, but since I work with kids, 1 day the school had a give away, and they gave me bout 50 tapes of sailor moon, and 25 tapes of pokemon. They both were only the 1st season. I watched most of them. Until I found out bout this site, I never knew pokemon was anime.
i`m happy 2 hear SAILORMOON here...i think i was in grade year i`ve seen it and i miss it...do u know toxido mask?his the only character i like in sailormoon coz sailorrmoon is 4 girls actually, but i like it during my young age^^
Hey I did watch it when it came on. I t was one of my fav. Live,Laugh and Love with all your heart
my sister used to watch it
i dont really watch it anymore but i loved it when i was little, if i had a chance i probably watch it again. i usually just watch new series instead of watching something ive already seen. Im actuallly rewatching deathnote but that a different story. the darkness is pulling me inNeAr2.0
i watched it when i was little and i would watch it if it came out again. it was the best show ever and still is.
STAR have you ever read the books? if you did, did you like it.
Yes, I have read the manga version of sailor moon also. It's different from the anime.
Firedragon here. Do you know where i can read Sailor moon?
I love sailor moon
I use to watch it all of the time. I got a set of dvds, some of them work, some of them don't so I was disappointed about that, but I've watched Sailor Moon live action and loved that too!
its been ages sense i last saw that now i thing im going to have watch
I still watch sailor moon, on www.youtube.com I love sailor moon,I had 200 episodes to watch and I skipped a few because it wasn't English, I went back and am still trying to find the rest, My two older sisters used to watch it when it was on TV almost everyday, Im only 11 but I will always remember sailor moon._Sister to the moon Princess

I think that Sailor Moon was/ is one of the best animes out there, despite how old it is. I mean take YuYu Hakusho for example. It's just as old as Sailor Moon and still hitting the charts! I have all the Sailor Moon movies and i still watch them
ahh Sailor Moon :)i used to watch that constantly with my sister ever since i can remember. (:brings back a lot of memories to watch some of the old episodes on youtube and stuff. <33
Man Sailor Moon was the best I miss that show I would watch it if I could, definitely!! I actuall missed a lot and would like to watch some of the later seasons that I didn't get to see. Human ignorance should and will be painful its only a matter of time...
hmmm....I could still remember,I use to draw "sailor moon" during my elementary days.. That was an unforgetable experience.
Even though my picture is of Darry who is a teenage girl from Gurren Lagann I am actually a guy, so I never watched Salior Moon. But salior moon was one of my little sister's favorite show when she was a little girl.

Swift, 24, painted New York City pink in a chic, blush-colored coat while out and about with BFF Sarah Hyland on Wednesday night. But Hyland, 23, went for a decidedly younger look, rocking a black leather jacket and pants.
Together to attend off-Broadway play Under My Skin at The Little Shubert Theatre, the gal pals realized they looked more like a mother-daughter duo with their contrasting fashions. Naturally, they posted photographic evidence to Instagram.
"We decided we were dressed like a [straight]-laced mom and her rebellious teen daughter. #YouDon'tUnderstandMeMom!!! #StormsOut #ComeBackHere,YoungLady!" Swift captioned the Instagram.
In the shot, Swift stands tall and stone-faced, while Hyland rolls her eyes and keeps her hand on her hip. The Modern Family star followed up with another playful picture, this time of Swift wagging her finger at her very annoyed "daughter."
"When your mom gives you "the finger"… #donttellmewhattodo," she wrote.
Hyland needn't worry: If anyone understands angsty teenage emotions, it's "Teardrops on My Guitar" songwriter Swift.

"Understated genius." —Uncut
"Hewerdine's music has a vigor and zest of its own. GOD BLESS THE PRETTY THINGS amounts to his recorded masterpiece so far." —Maverick Magazine
Boo Hewerdine is widely regarded as a songwriting legend, an artist with a musical curriculum vitae of international collaborations and hit songs that stretch over two decades and many genres.
Boo's new album GOD BLESS THE PRETTY THINGS is his first band album in almost a decade. Recorded in Glasgow during the spring of 2009, Boo is joined by a wealth of fantastic musicians: Justin Currie (Del Amitri), Berlin based multi instrumentalist Gustaf Ljunngren, Ewen Vernal, Roy Dodds, Kevin McGuire and Alan Kelly (all from Eddi Reader's band) and label mates John McCusker and Heidi Talbot.
Boo says: "I thought of these songs as a suite. There is a song called 'God Bless the Pretty Things' I have yet to record. It's about how the chance to create beauty is the ultimate sign of freedom. This was in the back of mind during the writing and recording of the album. I chose songs that seemed to reflect this, with the previous acoustic EP series (Toy Box) I was interested in storytelling. This time, even when I'm telling a story, I'm trying to find an atmosphere."

A sea of smiling young faces filled the USC Aiken Etherredge Center on Sunday afternoon as part of the audience gazing intently at the musicians composing the Orchestra of the Midlands.
The Aiken Performing Arts Group presented "Peter & the Wolf," providing those in attendance with an introduction to classical music.
Before the performance, the Suzuki Strings Symphony of Augusta entertained the audience in the lobby of the Etherredge Center, giving some of the children their initial exposure to what would be an afternoon of musical enchantment.
The program featured a three-pronged approach as the Orchestra of the Midlands, under the direction of conductor Maestro Donald Portnoy, engaged the listeners.
The narration of Dr. Fred Andrea served as a complement to a timeless story, and the illustrations of Carrie Power gave the audience a colorful visual in capturing the audience's imagination.
Power, who teaches at the East Aiken Elementary School of the Arts, was invited last year by APAG to participate in the same performance.
"I wanted to get more involved with the arts community in Aiken," said Power, who has been an elementary school art teacher for 22 years. "It sounded like a fun opportunity. I'm used to working with children, and this was a natural fit for me. I actually do this lesson with my students at school.
"We talk about my job as an illustrator, and how authors write the words and tell a story. Artists tell stories through their pictures. Musicians and composers tell stories through music."
The program kept the young people occupied as their focus was fixed on the stage, providing an experience in a spellbinding atmosphere.
The orchestra welcomed the audience on the stage after the performance.
"People don't realize that they're around classical music everyday," said Portnoy. "You turn on a TV and watch a movie – it's classical music. You go to the market and hear classical music. You go into the elevator and hear music. It does a great deal for young people to be involved with learning music. It really makes a big difference."
Student Elena Guy, a flutist, said she listened intently to flutist Alexandra Massey, whose instrument acted as that of the bird during the performance.
Sunday's program gave young people a chance to listen to classical music and develop an interest, Massey said.
"In today's society, people don't know a lot of classical works," said Massey. "I think it's important to encourage that with young kids. They should go to the symphony, go to concerts, have an interest in the arts and play the instruments."

I have read Vampire Knight volumes 1-7 and am waiting on volume 8, but thats for the english version. I think Matsuro Hino has run out of material right now and thats why theres no news on a third season yet. But I hope there is a third season! Love... is just a different kind of pain.

On your average day I can be found wearing an Old Navy tee or layered tanks, my long & lean Gap jeans or a knee-length knit skirt, & Target flip flops or my Prima Crocs in lime. Occasionally I'll mix it up with a cute top from Marshall's and smart red shoes, and of course my own hand-knitted red bag to match. (If you happened to see me out & about today, the exact outfit below is what I was a-wearin'.)
I do like to accessorize even in my tees. I am still loving my Cheeky Jewelry earrings or my long dangly ones from Berit Designs. And this fun watch I got as a birthday present from my mom.
When Mamas this way get ready for a night out, we usually keep the jeans but add sassy heeled-sandals and a black top. Maybe a little extra mascara, eyeliner, & lipgloss, too, if we really want to go all out. Midwestern moms, have I got this right?

TRUCKEE, Calif. - The quarterfinal round of the Northern Division I-A soccer tournament did not pose much of a challenge for the Wolverines.
Both squads cruised to easy victories in the home matches Tuesday, as the boys shut out Dayton 8-0 before the girls took care of Fernley by a 6-1 score.
Neither squad lit up the net in the early going, however, as the boys didn't get on the board until a goal by Thomas Arnstein in the 27th minute, while the girls trailed 1-0 before knotting the score in the 21st minute and pulling ahead in the 39th.
The Wolverines made up for their slow starts with big second halves. The boys scored five goals after the break and the girls four.
"The second half was much better than the first," said Truckee girls coach Katie Jamison. "We settled down and played how we're supposed to, and started connecting passes."
Truckee's boys, which are seeded No. 1 out of the Mount Rose League, started things off with a 1 p.m. game at River View Sports Park (games were bumped up a day due to the threat of weather).
Although the Wolverines dominated possession throughout the contest, they could not manage to get on the board at the start. Finally, nearly 30 minutes in, Arnstein beat a defender with his speed and buried a low shot past the reach of Dayton goalie Edgar Diaz.
The rout was on from there.
Arnstein added another goal minutes later after receiving a perfectly placed cross from Austin Simonpietri directly in front of the goal. Simonpietri then headed in another accurately placed cross, this one from Nash McMullen, to extend the lead to 3-0 entering the half.
In the opening minutes of the second half, Jesse Fereira got his head on a corner kick by Nico Kuyper for a 4-0 lead. Fernando Rodriguez got in on the scoring with a goal assisted by Rolando Zarate in the 50th minute, while Zarate put in another goal two minutes later as he cleaned up the rebound of a shot off the crossbar by Rodriguez.
David Martinez pushed the lead to 7-0, assisted by Zarate, and Arnstein recorded a hat trick with his third goal in the final minute to round out the scoring.
"That was a much better second half, but it still was not pretty soccer," Truckee head coach Casey Eberhardt told his players after the game.
"In the second half we had a little more communication and were moving the ball, which is what we always try to do," the coach added. "There was too much dribbling in the first half."
Truckee will now face the winner between fifth-seeded Spring Creek and fourth-seeded Fallon in the semifinal round Friday in Elko. The tournament continues Saturday with the regional final. Only the top two teams advance to state.
The Truckee girls had several scoring opportunities slip through their fingers in the opening 20 minutes against the Vaqueros.
Fernley, meanwhile, did not miss out on its first chance to get on the board, as Maria Sanchez blasted a tough-angle shot from about 40 yards out that got past Truckee goalie Cassandra Sawyer, giving the visitors a 1-0 lead in the 17th minute.
"I was not concerned. Just frustrated that it happened," Jamison said. "But I credit Fernley. They took advantage."
Truckee made amends just four minutes later, as senior Shelby Matthews answered with her own long shot from outside the 18-yard box, which sailed past Fernley goalie Penny Kernes.
The Vaqueros fended off the Wolverines' consistent attack with feisty defensive play led by Kylie Hargett, Brooke Grossman and Gisselle Rios.
But it was only a matter of time before Truckee broke through with the go-ahead goal. A fine goal it was, too, as senior captain Olivia Duner called off teammate Marcelle Reynaud and ripped a hard shot from 15 yards out into the upper netting, just under the crossbar and out of the reach of Kernes.
The second half was all Truckee.
Eight minutes in, Ashley Harris headed in a nice cross from Quinn Parker, giving the Wolverines a 3-1 lead, while just one minute later, Parker scored on a cross from Harris, using her state champion sprinter speed to beat Kernes to the ball.
Truckee extended its lead to 5-1 in the 61st minute when Parker followed the rebound of a shot that deflected off of Kernes' hands. The Wolverines capped the scoring in the 75th minute after Kaylee Neill gathered a through ball from Duner.
"We played a good first 30 minutes," said Fernley head coach Piper McCarthy. "But we came out in the second half and didn't do anything we talked about. We fizzled out."
The Wolverines now face the formidable task of playing two-time defending state champion South Tahoe in an elimination semifinal game Friday in Elko. Only the top two teams from the regional tournament advance to state, meaning the loser is done for the year.
"We going to have to take advantage of every opportunity we have to beat South Tahoe," said Jamison, whose team tied the Vikings 2-2 in both regular-season meetings.

Samsung Galaxy S III gets a quad-core version with 2GB of RAM, only for Korea
0. phoneArena 08 Jun 2012, 06:10 posted on
The Samsung Galaxy S III is launching in a couple of varieties across the globe - internationally, the SGS III with model number GT-I9300 has a quad-core Samsung Exynos chip…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
LTE + quad-core + 2 GB Ram?
My GS3 international looks obsolete now, due to another version of GS3
13. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
It doesn't have LTE, but the quad + 2GB is still better spec than anyone else is getting.
15. ph00ny (Posts: 1237; Member since: 26 May 2011)
It says LTE next to the model name
22. skymitch89 (Posts: 1299; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
Where does it say that the Korean version has LTE? There's nothing that say the Korean version has LTE. In fact, if you cared to look at the photo, it says "N/W: HSPA+" for all devices in view.
24. RangersK (Posts: 68; Member since: 15 May 2012)
The photo says Galaxy S3 (SHV-E210S) is an LTE phone. :) For your information, SK Telecom is launching both 3G (SHW=M440S) and LTE phones.
33. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
Then, I stand corrected. However, this begs the question of why we've been being fed all this bulls**t about how the quad Exynos & LTE aren't compatible. Are they just on different chips in this version? Does that mean the Korean version is thicker? I would have no problem lugging around a slightly thicker phone if it had LTE, quad, & 2GB. I think most would agree.
36. ph00ny (Posts: 1237; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Korean version is slightly thicker but that could be due to the DMB tuner addon
US just sucks for mobile industry and they never said LTE wasn't compatible. Most tech sites have speculated that korean market may receive the exynos quad and LTE.
US market is a tricky beast with varying technology/bands etc.
Unbranded devices are hard to come by
Carriers have tendencies to ruin devices with bloatware or crap firmware
39. groupsacc (Posts: 232; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
Maybe because its their home market. I don't know.
Hey, I'm from Australia, and if Samsung's Australian, I wouldn't mind getting the best version of the product exclusive to home market every now and then. :)
23. skymitch89 (Posts: 1299; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
It's not LTE, it's HSPA+.
25. RangersK (Posts: 68; Member since: 15 May 2012)
That model supports both HSPA+ and LTE, OK?
31. FAW-Q (Posts: 63; Member since: 29 Jul 2011)
All of you GS3 Fans just got kicked in the balls by Samsung!
32. ph00ny (Posts: 1237; Member since: 26 May 2011)
How so? They've said it during the announcement that LTE will be a factor for international releases from day 1.
49. Doakie (Posts: 2009; Member since: 06 May 2009)
Don't care. I will still pre-order the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 the day preorders are accepted... Get out of here iTard. I heard a rumor that Cook has been looking for you, he needs his "iPhone" polished.

really?? source??
52. swagswagswag (Posts: 1; Member since: 15 Jun 2012)
he is probably right because i went to an at&t store to preorder by gs3 and there was a samsung rep there. he told me at&t's gs3 would have the exynos 4 core processor and 2gb of ram. he also said it wouldnt have a front button.
6. Victor.H (Posts: 658; Member since: 27 May 2011)
What makes this unique is that it's a combination of a quad-core Exynos with 2GB of RAM. So far, we've only heard about dual-core chip with 2GB of RAM, and a quad-core with 1GB, not both a quad-core processor and 2 gigs of RAM.
18. ph00ny (Posts: 1237; Member since: 26 May 2011)
You forgot to list LTE and most likely DMB tuner capability
41. groupsacc (Posts: 232; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
All Korean phones have DMB as standard since like six years ago, unless you are buying el-cheapo phones.

See at one place that is Korea the home company is treating it's people with Double of Ram and one place Taiwan where the home company that is the HTC is treating their people with an old processor, whatever may be the reason behind it but this is happening to the people of Taiwan by HTC
9. Max-1363 (Posts: 4; Member since: 03 Jun 2011)
Indeed Korea will get a nice update on their GALAXY S3 Devices but honestly I don't think there will be any situation that need all 2GB of RAM to perform solid, at least not in 2012.
11. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Yep. Do you want in the future your phone is unable to be stock updated due to the lack of RAM like Galaxy S?
20. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
its not about what it can or cant do today.. its about what it will still be able to do in the future.... aka futureproofing.
Also, more ram equals better performance with bigger page file sizes for games and apps.
35. jove39 (Posts: 1859; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)

42. groupsacc (Posts: 232; Member since: 28 Feb 2012)
I can't never get enough of RAM, from opening all those multiple tabbed browsing, music listening, and sometimes switching between playing games, all at the same time.

Is there any way to import this into the U.S. and change the language? I would get an AT&T SIM right now if I had this phone.
14. RangersK (Posts: 68; Member since: 15 May 2012)
The GS3 for Korea does not support the US LTE frequency bands; US and Korea are using different frequency bands for the LTE service.
17. bloodyrabbit (Posts: 1; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
But if you buy this phone.
You can use this phone in 3G(HSPA) mode.
19. ph00ny (Posts: 1237; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Not sure which hspa band SK uses but typically korean HSPA devices aren't compatible with US HSPA bands (different frequency)
26. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
well, yea.. android supports dozens of languages. its as simple as picking "english" when you turn on the phone. :) English is a very common second language in korea, so the option will be there.
16. ph00ny (Posts: 1237; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Does the korean version also come with DMB tuner and extra battery like every other galaxy model released in korea prior to the s3?
44. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
Probably it still will have a dmb tuner. They just released a new samsung galaxy r(that already has the same touchwiz nature ui as the s3) and has dmb. I don't see any reason for samsung to remove the dmb tuner for their flagship.
21. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
any word on what hspa+ frequencies it supports?
i was mulling over the idea of importing an exynos version.. if its compatible, obviously Imma go for this international device. :)
27. a961009 (Posts: 120; Member since: 04 Aug 2011)
As I am korean, I can read the text in the picture. Galaxy s3 with 2gb ram comes with Lte,Dmb tuner. Galaxy s3 with 1gb ram is just similar as int. Version. I think US people cannot use Gs3 lte because the lte band in korea uses 1900mhz(not sure but it is not 700/800mhz) moreover, korean telecoms like SKT do not unlock the phone so u guys cannot use it. AND Phonearena, I heard that Japan's GS3 lte uses 2gb of ram. So I think it is not ONLY IN KOREA.
29. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
the american versions and japanese versions are getting 2gig of ram, but they are also getting the downgraded S4 chip instead of exynos for LTE compatibility. The korean version is the only one getting exynos AND 2 gig of ram.

Now I want to import one of those babies to play with. Even though I have the One X but this will be more awesome than the AT&T version of SGS3 by far. Even without LTE, I can careless because there is no LTE at where I live anymore, but do have hspa+ though. Fast enough for my use :)

That is seriously not fair although I like Sammy but this was my all time anticipation that a quad core will have 2 gigs of Ram.
40. Travelblogger (Posts: 1; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
I'm currently in Busan, I'm still using my iPhone 3G with a cracked screen. We will be in Busan until the end of July and I was really hoping to buy a new phone here!
So this phone looks really tempting but phone shopping in Korea is almost not possible! Also I'm a little nervous about the functionality would be outside of Korea. I'm a travel blogger and moving to a new country every 3 month. Do you think it would work on other countries 3G/LTE networks.
43. tiara6918 (Posts: 2036; Member since: 26 Apr 2012)
This is not fair! They should release this version of galaxy s 3 internationally. I know it is the treat of samsung to their fellow koreans but look when you go out of the streets of korea, many are still using an iPhone. But I don't think samsung will stop releasing just one version of the galaxy s 3 just like before-galaxy s(available in pink,white and black back covers),galaxy s hoppin, galaxy s 2(available in pink,white and black), galaxy s 2 lte(available in black and white), galaxy s 2 hd lte. They just keep on releasing different versions, why not release one with the best specs you can offer so you can sell more products?
45. puffedup (Posts: 2; Member since: 09 Jun 2012)
For some people who are talking about LTE frequencies in Korea, here is the exact information.
SK telecom is currently providing LTE in 800Mhz and planning to provide it also in 1.8Ghz within July. Therefore I think the SK SGS3 will be able to use both 800Mhz and 1.8Ghz for LTE, and, of course, 2.1Ghz for 3G service.
46. puffedup (Posts: 2; Member since: 09 Jun 2012)
And why is SGS3 dualcore(S4) in US? Anybody have the most reasonable explanation?
It is definitely not because Samsung can't make it, given this SK telecom SGS3.
Then is it because Samsung is not capable of providing it stably in the states, or is it because of the problem within telecom companies in US? Some Koreans suspect there was a backdoor contract between Samsung and Qualcomm.
47. chungyong (Posts: 1; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
Exynos + LTE must be a greatset phone.
48. pancrassian (Posts: 1; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
The Reason why Korean version of Galaxy S3 has 2GB RAM is as follows. In Korea, DMB(a free terrestrial mobile TV and available only in Korea) in a smartphone is a must. To accomodate this DMB, Korean version of Galaxy S3 must have 2GB RAM and be a little thicker than international version.
50. prisoner737 (Posts: 1; Member since: 14 Jun 2012)
I am a korean so I tell you true facts
First, In korea, samsung release 2 version of galaxy s3. One is international version(quad core. 1G ram , no dmb,and only in SKTelecom) other is "korea localize version".
Second, korea localize version have quad core ,LTE .DMB and 2G ram.
Third, From now on, korea just have IMEI white list. In that law, provider don't consider about sim lock or country lock, so all of model is already unlocked , release after 2009/09.
4th, So you can use galaxy s3 korea localize version, if you can buy it here(korea) and your service-provider use 2100MZ umts(hspa) service. because it is already unlocked ! (I listen before , at&t and T-mobile have 2100mz umts network. not certain please check it)
5th, My english is bad !
51. Pupil (Posts: 1; Member since: 15 Jun 2012)
I'm a little bit luckier than you are guys... I am right now in South Korea and as soon in the going to come out to SKTelecom I will be first one to get it!!!!!

I am writing in support of Wade Kagarise for judge.
Dedication, consistency, experience and fairness. These are the qualities I have observed Kagarise to possess, and I have viewed him in a variety of situations - in community presentations, in courtrooms, in college classrooms and as my attorney.
It would be correct to say that Kagarise and I find ourselves on the opposite ends of the political spectrum. However, I prize quality of character, range of experience, and dedication to work and fairness over political affiliation.
In the seven years I have known him, we have discussed the most difficult social issues, and though we sometimes disagree, Kagarise has demonstrated to me his understanding of the lack of justice in some social practices.
His argument is that policies should be fairly enforced, that the law should be upheld, that justice should be practiced for all. That is why I support him as judge.

Officials discuss Franklin-Southeast safety

You worry about 1 intersection. Every day i pass people trying to drive with a phone stuck to their ear,people texting, kids thinking that sign means slide tires on pacement,,The person driving 20 in a 35 zone or 90 in a 555.Accid happen

Seems to me it is the people driving on S E Blvd with the problem.The are the ones that are not stopping and waiting till it is clear to go. You can put up all the signs, flashers and rumble strips you want and if people are not going to obey the stop signs those things are not going to change them. The problem is drivers with no respect for the traffic laws, which just reflects the general attitude of a lot of people about everything these days. I am sure these same people are running stop signs elsewhere. Start enforcing the laws in all areas of the city and people will get the message you better follow the traffic laws in Salem or you will get a ticket. It all boils down to having enough police officers on duty that want to do the job properly. Stop wasting the policemen's time by sending them on frivilous calls and have them start enforcing existing laws and we will see a big change in Salem in all areas of the city not only in traffic but in crime too.

Seriously, if this was an unsafe intersection that had objects that clearly obstructed a driver's view in any direction, I would understand all this fuss but this isn't even the case. I can't believe that the city is even entertaining this.
The law is already very clear. You must maintain control of your vehicle at all times. Why do you think all States are doing away the word...Accident and call them...Crashes?

People don't even comprehend what traffic devices are used for. They are for traffic control...NOT GUARANTEED TRAFFIC SAFETY.
Just because you sit a traffic light and that light changes green for you to proceed is that difficult to look both directions and make sure that the idiot approaching the red light stops. Good God people start using those brains GOD GAVE YOU!!

This is why we have no money for Salem because we waste so much money on stupid things.
I say turn our boys loose at the police department and let them drive home the message...you want be a careless driver and break the laws in Salem...you PAY for it and by a FINE.
Salem needs to yank back in their own municipal court and start effectively using it to collect on these fines and use them as revenue. That would drive out half the scumbags in Salem alone and straighten up these spoiled Chief Floor residents that got away with it under his command. I'm sorry but it how I feel.

Grant I agree with your comment and only a part of ts1227's comment. Not because he is wrong, it would be a band-aid fix but not a solution. No disrespect ts1227 intended, I swear before you get mad at me. It just more money thrown at another wasted attempt. It a local intersection. I'm guessing, don't claim to know it for sure but every crash at the intersection has involved LOCAL DRIVERS.
We can't keep babysitting and pulling our hair out, trying to take control of handful of "careless" drivers.
Grant you make it through that intersection each time. You know the intersection has had problems. That means your a good driver and you use common sense every time you approach it. That tells me, that YOU do not proceed unless you are absolutely sure your path is clear whether you are driving on Franklin or approaching the stop sign on S.E.B.
I can not get my head wrapped around how there could be that many crashes at that CLEAR INTERSECTION. Nothing blocks a drivers

Bottom line is, the city government can't fix stupid. Most of the accidents or near accidents I've ever seen are because of one driver being completely stupid.
I don't think they should do anything, and if anything, maybe just put some new signs up that show that it isn't a four way stop. Something like ts mentioned. That's it. And I drive through that intersection every single day.

Put in some of the newer warning signs they have now that have flashing LED's on the outside edges, like down in front of East Liverpool at the hospital crosswalk.
Put in flashing "intersection ahead signs" on Franklin, and flashing stop signs on SE Blvd. I've seen those 2 signs in flashing LED form before, so I know they exist.
They run off of solar (as every one I have ever seen has a panel attached, and LED's take very little energy), they can't be that expensive to buy or run.

McVEYTOWN - U.S. Rep. Tom Marino and state treasurer candidate Diana Vaughn were the guest speakers at the Mifflin County Republican Banquet Thursday evening.
Nelson Rieffannacht, chairman of the Mifflin County Republican Committee, started the evening off at the Penn Valley Christian Retreat encouraging voters to back Mitt Romney and U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan for president and vice president.
State Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, R-Bellefonte, introduced Tom Marino who represents the 10th Congressional District, which now includes Mifflin and Juniata counties.

U.S. Rep. Tom Marino speaks to members of the Mifflin County Republican Committee at the committee's fall banquet Thursday, at Penn Valley Christian Retreat, McVeytown.
"Tom Marino came to Congress in January 2011 in much the same way he arrived at other destinations throughout his life, with a sense of purpose, a clear set of goals and a commonsense approach to finding solutions to serious problems. Though he had previously talked about running for Congress, it wasn't until he found himself so frustrated by the direction the nation was taking that he declared himself a candidate in early 2010," Benninghoff said.
Marino first thanked all the veterans and active servicemen.
"Once a week I tell my children, we owe it all to you," Marino said of veterans.
Marino describes himself as "very pro-life," pro gun and fiscally conservative.
He then gave a little background about his family and told how his parents ran their own bar BANQUET and restaurant, which they built from the ground up.
After high school, Marino worked in a factory then decided to go to college and law school after he was passed up for a promotion.
Marino said he had extensive legal background, having served as a district attorney, assistant district attorney and finally U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Pennsylvania in 2002.
On Thanksgiving night in 2009 Marino said he was screaming at his television about a political issue. His wife told him to put his "money where his mouth was," and so he decided to run for Congress.
Marino said it was a grassroots campaign and he was not supposed to win, but he campaigned every day and persevered.
"You will see a lot of me," Marino said.
Marino said he tries to lead by example and keeps a small staff and works within or below his budget.
"We can win this, we are going to win the House, maybe retake the Senate," Marino said, adding that he believes Romney will win the presidential election.
Marino also touched on the importance of paying down the national debt, term limits and the need to repeal the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare.
Marino advocates a lower corporate tax that closes the loopholes.
"I will fight for you with every fiber of my body," Marino said.
Vaughn, a former Washington County Commissioner of 17 years was then introduced.
Vaughn said she has worked hard to keep tax rates low and cut wasteful spending.
Vaughn said she was successful in managing the county employees pension system, something she hopes to duplicate at the state level.
"The state treasurer has to be a leader," she added.
Vaughn said she is both fiscally and socially conservative, pro-life and a backer of the Second Amendment.
Vaughn said this election will be won by the "political army" that is the Republican party.
Benninghoff closed out the evening by stating that things are starting to turn in the right direction under Gov. Tom Corbett.
"The Republican party should be proud," he said.

Justice For Trayvon: 10 Burning Questions About The George Zimmerman Murder Trial
This has been the most stressful, intriguing and heartbreaking trial in recent memory with incredibly-petty defense attorneys, cunning prosecutors fighting for justice and a fat-faced blob (defendant George Zimmerman) with the most punchable face ever. Must watch TV? Absolutely, with several key moments that inspired the following questions.
Here are ten burning questions about the George Zimmerman Murder trial. Take a look.
1. Trayvon was a superhuman ninja warrior octopus with Usain Bolt speed that could see in the dark? At only 17? Whoa.
2. Creepily stalking and following a stranger isn't provocation enough for them to attack you in Florida? Because following someone isn't illegal. Seriously?
3. Trayvon armed himself with the concrete (and sidewalk) against a stranger with a gun? Armed himself…with the ground vs. someone with a GUN? Was the Defense serious?
5. Watching a stranger and saying A) "Something's wrong with him" B) "This guy looks like he's up to no good, or he's on drugs or something" C) "Fawking punks" and D) "these a**holes always get away" ISN'T profiling? Uhh, if that's not, then what is?
6. Why did the state take so long to put on their big boy pants and actually fight for Trayvon? Because, honestly, they were losing this case.
7. Did Zimmerman gain weight to seem sloppy and hopeless against a younger person fighting for their life? Or for sympathy? Mixture of both?
8. Why was Defense attorney Don West allowed to behave like a spoiled 5th grader in the courtroom for so long?
9. Trayvon was shot through the heart and his last words were "you got me" before dying? Like….a movie villain? Really?

Schools do their best to make sure children have a safe environment to learn in, especially when it comes to food.
For children with food allergies, the schoolday can present a range of situations that need to be managed. The cafeteria presents a problem, as do the bag lunches friends bring to school and the classroom party treats sent by parents.
In 2013, many states introduced bills enabling schools to keep a supply of epinephrine auto-injectors on hand in case a child has a severe allergic reaction, but not in Ohio. There are several groups trying to introduce legislation, according to the
Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
Some schools are working to keep students are safe when dealing with food allergies during lunchtime.
At Tiffin City Schools, the food service department handles the food allergies of children who deal with the school lunches only, said Jan Beard, food service supervisor.
Fact Box
What to remember
The Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America has several tips to make sure children have a safe start to the school year, including:
Become familiar with the state's policies regarding food allergy education, prevention and emergency care at school.
Be sure the child's medical information is complete, up to date and in a form that is understood by school staff.
Medication should clearly state the child's name and dosage.
Schedule an appointment with the school nurse, teachers and principal.
Talk with cafeteria staff about food choices and special accommodations. Be clear and concise about the seriousness of the allergy.
Talk to children about their responsibility to take medications and not taking food from other children.
"We must have a doctor slip submitted yearly stating the allergy-specific instructions," Beard said. "We will then try to accommodate within reasonable guidelines. My staff is trained in this area and follows our guidelines in place."
The district has a point-of-sale system that makes notations on the child's account. If a child has an allergy, it shows up in red to alert to cashier, Beard said.
The district sends out newsletters at the beginning of every year that lists information. Each individual school handles the medication and reactions of the students.
The district's policy is located at www.tiffincityschools.org.
"Parents make us aware of any allergies on a form sent home the first day," said Connie Weyant, administrative secretary at Bettsville Local Schools. "Students with food allergies names are given to the cooks and servers so they are aware and know when they need to prepare an alternative food item."
When informed by parents and or guardians, Weyant said, the matter is discussed on depending on the severity of the allergy, steps are taken to ensure the student does not eat or drink anything they are not supposed to.
"We do not have this issue at this time, but they would be allowed to keep that medicine in a locked cabinet in the main office to take when needed," Weyant said.
Employees at Bettsville who complete medication administration training are allowed to administer student medications when needed, as there is not a nurse on staff, Weyant said.
"Policy on food allergies is to make sure that they student understands what they can and cannot eat and that classroom teachers and cafeteria workers are aware," Weyant said. "We do not allow students to bring in homemade food, treats for birthdays or other events. Everything must be store-bought and individually wrapped, with the ingredients clearly marked."
At Lakota Local Schools, Jean Geyman, food service director, said she requires a note from a child's physician stating what the allergy is and whether there is a food to be substituted.
"Like, if they an allergy to cow's milk, and it is life-threatening, we have to provide lactose intolerant milk or whatever substitute they can have for that particular allergy," she said.
Geyman said students with peanut allergies are seated at a separate table, to keep them away from even those who might have packed peanut butter sandwiches in their lunches.
"The school nurse at the beginning of the year gives me a list of all kids that have food allergies and I can list that right on their account so when they put their ID number in to get lunch the cashier can see any notes that I have put on their account dealing with allergies" Geyman said.

Trading With the Enemy
Trading With The Enemy: Seduction and Betrayal on Jim Cramer's Wall Street, written by Nicholas Maier, relives Nick's experience working for Jim Cramer at his hedge fund, Cramer & Company, from 1994 to 1998. I picked up the book because it details the inner workings of Jim Cramer's hedge fund and I always enjoy these "inside look" type books and this one did not disappoint. If you're familiar with Jim Cramer or his hot show Mad Money, you'll know that he always seems to be a madman on television. The intensity he shows on that show is a mere fraction of how intense he can get when real money is on the line and you never see the mean streak on television. In the book, Jim throws monitors, screams at brokers, and basically is insane while managing hundreds of millions of dollars and managing it quite well. Don't screw up because you'll might not even live to regret it.
The book will reveal a lot of insights on the inner workings of Wall Street (Cramer & Company pay six cents a share traded, way more than a private investor, but there is a reason for that – "you get what you pay for"), what it takes to be a power player in the markets, and why Jim Cramer acts the way he does. It's really an eye opening learning experience, to be perfectly honest, because it's amazing how much information is passed around before they hit "official news."
How much of it is embellished? I have no idea, it was published in 2002 before Mad Money premiered but after Jim Cramer made a huge name for himself, and the author acknowledges that many are reading it just to learn about Jim Cramer. I bet some of it is since he quotes things from memory, so take that with a James Frey grain of salt, maybe a little smaller grain though. Still, a fun read if you have a lazy Sunday afternoon free.
Amazon doesn't have any more copies but they do have a summary and some reviews available, your best bet is to try to find it in your local library.

She would tell her doctor she'd accidentally dropped the entire bottle of pills in the toilet.
She desperately needed another prescription, she would say.
In reality, the woman, who talked to The Inter-Mountain on the condition of anonymity, was feeding her latest addiction, this time to morphine.
Article Photos
The Inter-Mountain photo by Katie Kuba
Adult drug court probation officer John Meadows and Randolph County Circuit Court Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong, pictured above in Wilfong's office last week, say adult drug court is working in Randolph County.
"Did it work at first? It sure did," she said. "You'll do pretty much anything to get it, once you're addicted to it, but pretty soon they start to catch on and won't write you any more prescriptions."
Ultimately, the woman wound up being sentenced to one to five years in prison on drug-related charges and spent the next 10 months in and out of jail; She would be placed on the Randolph County Community Corrections program, then fail a random drug test and find herself right back behind bars.
That's where she was when John Meadows, Randolph County's adult drug court probation officer, told her that if she met certain criteria, she was going to be released to participate in the inaugural Randolph County Adult Drug Court, which began Oct. 16, 2012.
She qualified, and now, thanks to the support she's received through the unique program, she's finally confident in one thing - she's never going back to jail.
"I've got too much to lose this time," the woman said. "I just got an apartment. I just got a job and every time I go to jail everything I own ends up getting taken. It's hard to get a job around here and I'm not trying to lose it, not for something stupid."
The adult drug court program provides the support system many former prisoners need - but also lack -when they're released into the real world, said Randolph County Circuit Judge Jaymie Godwin Wilfong, who serves as the drug court judge.
"Ninety percent of crimes committed are drug- and alcohol-related, and although there's a certain benefit to getting someone (convicted of a drug charge) away from everyone else, the push for drug courts throughout the state has not just been about prison overcrowding. We find people are getting out and still having the same problems."
Drug and alcohol addiction is likely to land person in jail a second or third time, which isn't exactly inexpensive- Wilfong said the cost of housing one person in the regional jail for one year is $20,000.
"That doesn't even take into consideration medical problems, that's just to house them," the judge said.
Adult drug court is a 12-month, three-phase program that functions as a less costly alternative to incarceration. It relies on individually-prescribed substance abuse treatment via the North Central Community Corrections program and court-monitored intensive supervision to rehabilitate people into society. Adult drug court isn't for everyone - it aims to serve Randolph County residents who carry a nonviolent felony or misdemeanor on their record and are addicts or serious drug abusers. The program isn't intended for drug dealers who are in the business to make money or individuals with previous or current sex offenses or crimes against children on their records, Wilfong said.
And it certainly isn't a "get out of jail free card," the judge added.
"It's a pain in the neck," she said. "It is easier to sit in jail and do their time."
For instance, participants must attend meetings with their nine-member treatment teams weekly; check in with Meadows, the probation officer, face-to-face daily; contact Meadows by phone between 6 and 8 p.m. nightly; work full-time or complete 40 hours of community service per week; and submit to frequent, random drug testing at least twice a week.
A male drug court participant said the attitude and approach of the treatment team made up of Randolph County Prosecuting Attorney Michael Parker, Chief Probation Officer Heidi Hawkins and substance abuse counselor Valerie Corley, in addition other officials - is critical to participants' recovery.
"It's not like you're looked down upon," he said. "It's not like they judge you or anything like that. If you don't lie to them, it's not like they treat you like a criminal, they treat you like a human being."
Adult drug court operates on a system of incentives and sanctions. Incentives, which reward participants for steps taken toward a drug-free lifestyle, range from decreased supervision to the receipt of gift cards for an array of area stores and restaurants. However, as the participants' handbook notes, "The most powerful incentive is the dismissal of your charges."
Sanctions, or punishments, for noncompliance with program requirements include essay assignments, additional support group sessions, home confinement and jail time. (If a participant tests positive for a controlled substance, Wilfong orders that person to serve three days in jail, but if they lie about their use, the judge doubles their time to six days.)
Drug court, after all, is about motivating participants to stay out of jail.
"One of the goals of this program is to save money, but it's also about getting people back into society, so they can be productive citizens again," Meadows said. "It's about getting moms and dads back to their kids."
Hawkins agreed, saying, "Just to get people back to the community, it's kind of like giving their life back to them.
"When you see it work, it's a great feeling," she added, "and that's why we do it."
And adult drug court is working, nationwide and here in Randolph County, Wilfong said.
The female participant who was formerly addicted to morphine - but has tested negative every week since drug court started - wouldn't disagree.
"It feels good not to worry about coming in here and peeing dirty (testing positive for drugs)," she said. "I never thought I'd live a half-way normal life."

Joe Bastianich's MasterChef Blog: It's Down to Two!
It's down to two, MasterChef fans!
The first mystery box tag team challenge proved a little too much for Krissi's abilities as well as her self-restraint. I don't mind a little eleventh hour drama, but there's a major lack of frustration tolerance there that sadly is her biggest hindrance. Yelling may be par for the course in our fast paced profession, but abandoning the line doesn't fly in a real kitchen.
This is the final four of MasterChef – you don't take a time out! It is truly a shame, because she has grown significantly in the last three months. Love her or hate her, Krissi, the consummate underdog, held her own this season.
Staying afloat amongst competitors whose knowledge and exposure surpassed her own is something she proved time and time again. Her ability to dig her heels in and get it done just when things looked darkest is what I most admired about her throughout this competition, so for me her lack of self-control was disappointing. I doubt anyone is really surprised. We all knew she'd go out with a bang.
Although Jessie's attitude certainly deserved the edge in the pressure test, what's on the plate is what's on the plate – and she skated past Krissi by a nose. Sadly, she wasn't so fortunate with her choice of Kobe beef. She made such a poor assumption – I wish she had paid better attention to her instincts on that green papaya salad than the ones that told her a steak is a steak.
Although they have varying temperaments and strategies, Natasha and Luca sure proved that they came to play, and something about Jessie during her final performance was lacking this.
With only three in the game at this point, it is just as important to make sure you stay in the game as it is to focus on getting someone else out. Clearly Luca can't lie to save his life, but giving himself away didn't matter to Natasha. I don't think she thought she could shine by using the Grana Padano, and she was probably right. If there is one thing Jessie should have learned about Natasha at this point, it's that her first priority is always numero uno.
Although I in no way mean to diminish his performance, Luca made out like a bandit being handed the Grana Padano, arguably Italy's most famous (and my favorite) cheese. He's an Italian – it's like giving an American ground beef. Not exactly a stretch for him ... I guess nice guys don't finish last after all.
After starting out with thousands at casting, a hundred during the auditions, now only Luca and Natasha are left standing. Tune in next week (Sept. 11, 8 p.m. ET) to see who prevails and becomes America's next MasterChef!

4 stars "A twisted, darkly witty morality fable"
"Tom Brooke is wonderfully compelling"
"Featherstone directs… with a stealth and insight that bodes well for the future of her regime."
12.9.13, Paul Taylor, The Independent
4 stars "Its vision of human corruption, laced with terse, corrosive humour, is unnervingly riveting."
"Its grim, shudder-inducing inexorability leaves a lingering chill."
"Brooke is fantastically creepy and, eventually, hauntingly grotesque."
16.9.13, Sam Marlowe, Metro
"Dennis Kelly… is second only to Caryl Churchill as the U.K.'s most ambitious and iconoclastic dramatist"
"Startlingly idiosyncratic and often surprisingly funny"
"Anyone willing to embrace the authentic excitement of an individual voice matched by an ideal production are in for an fascinating, if bracing, ride."
"Blessed by the adroit pacing and perfectly judged acting of Featherstone's completely unified cast"
13.9.13, David Benedict, Variety
"Staged with panache, acted with great vim "
"Tom Brooke has a dreadful magnetism"
15.9.13, Susannah Clapp, The Observer
