HTC Sensation Review
0. phoneArena 01 Jun 2011, 09:30 posted on
With arguably better handsets and tablets being offered by other manufacturers, HTC needed something better than good to ward off the competition, they needed something sensational. So here it is, 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor with a qHD screen and HTC Sense 3.0 atop Gingerbread – the HTC Sensation...
This is a discussion for a review. To read the whole review, click here

so it means it's better than galaxy s2 for the normal consumers and the masses...!!
2. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
I don't think so. I think the review just means the Galaxy S2 and Sensation are dead even- the screen is better for viewing and at angles and benchmarks a little better on the S2, the build more solid and the UI more polished for the HTC. Cannot go wrong with either handset. Very happy for T-Mobile consumers. Hoping AT&T and Verizon grab a similar handset for them. (Sprint, you already have the EVO 3D. No fair grabing another one.)

If anything, I got from the review that the Samsung galaxy S2 has a slightly faster processor (according to benchmark scores) and better display and viewing angles and its bootloader is unlocked for installing custom ROMS. Not sure how you came to that conclusion.. ?
Seems like hardware & specs-wise Samsung galaxy S2 is more powerful, but the Sense 3.0 User Interface is more complete than Touchwiz.

real world performance is negligable. though if your a benchmark guy, the SGS2 cant be beat right now.
the SGS2 wins in
performance tests
camera software.
since thats just about every major category. lol. the sensation is by no means a slouch though nor a bad phone in any category, the SGS2 is just that far ahead in tech. The old dual core snapdragon is a generation behind the dual core exynos in archetecture design which is why its so poor on battery and not as powerful.
And PA, Why the hell do you keep trying to throw an iphone into every article? If android is not for a reader, they probably wouldnt be reading this article anyways. Seriously..

I agree, so lame...this being a review for the hTc Sensation..."but if you don't want this great phone, how 'bout an ip?!"
51. TyDeL (unregistered)
Haha, the Iphone remark at the end of every review always makes me laugh.
"btw, after you just read through an exhaustive, 5 page, in-depth review of this Android phone, there's always the Iphone!"
Really, if you want an Iphone, you're not going to be bothered reading about Android phones, you're not even going to be reading reviews, you're going to blindly take the one option that Apple feeds you.
72. ladyhaly (Posts: 106; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
If you look into another article with a blind test done by PhoneArena in order to pit the devices' picture quality output against each other, you would know that you are wrong and that the Samsung Galaxy S II has the worst camera among all the high-end phones as of today as I'm typing this.
And no, that's not every category. You forgot the User Interface. If I was after a benchmarks and speed, I'd go for the Galaxy S II but I'm actually after an intuitive device that would bend towards my will and do the things I want to do. Out of the box, that is.
Unfortunately, Samsung isn't it. And oh, I also hate how Samsung uses plastic and how it makes the device light. Some people may like light devices--- I prefer devices with a more solid feel to them. Something that would feel premium in my hand. Something that won't go off and slip from my fingers because it's so light like a feather.
Basically, it all comes down to personal preference.

I am so gonna get this phone!... I get excited only looking at it.
4. seeds (Posts: 48; Member since: 13 Apr 2011)
what about bootloader ?
locked or not ?
up there just said unlocled for sammy
41. Evolution (unregistered)
The bootloader is locked on this device.
52. TyDeL (unregistered)
Now that HTC is changing their stance on bootloaders, does anyone know if they plan to unlock future sales of the Sensation anytime soon? Or is this phone just doomed to have a locked bootloader forever?
71. Calvin (unregistered)
im sure this has been answered by now. But yes in fact i think most of the ones coming out of the box now should be unlocked and the other ones should be unlocked through an update.

This was a great review until it mentioned the iPhone 4 at the end. Seriously PA wtf!?! I swear they get paid by Apple everytime they mention it in a phone review. It is just so random and irrelevent how they manage to throw it in at the end of every Android phone review. To PA: no one who is reading this review of the Sensation gives a flying fuck about iPhone 4!
6. xenover (Posts: 174; Member since: 27 May 2011)
iPhone 4 is nothing in comparison to any dual-core device.
I think your right that phonearena gets paid everytime they say "iPhone 4"
20. iwebdroidberry7 (Posts: 230; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
So what do people buy if the don't want an Android phone? You understand that everyone does not want an Android device right?
21. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
If they're not interested in an Android device then why the hell are they reading the review for one? Everyone who doesn't live under a rock knows what the iPhone 4 is. There's no point in mentioning it in an Android review. Did they list alternatives(Android, WM7, etc.) in the iPhone review?
23. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
All they mention in the i4 review is screen size differences.
26. iwebdroidberry7 (Posts: 230; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
Yeah they do mention android in iPhone reviews. Go read the 1st paragraph of the Verizon iPhone review.
"If they're not interested in an Android device then why the hell are they reading the review for one?"
Thats what reviews are for. To show consumers the products so they don't have to go out and buy something they don't want. If someone reads the review and decides they don't like android then its helpful to list alternatives. And they did mention other Android phones as alternatives
34. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
You speak truth. Let's see how many thumbs up you get.
43. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
I read the one for AT&T and I edited my statement. You said:
So what do people buy if the don't want an Android phone?
If you don't want an Android phone why bother reading the review for one? I never wanted and Iphone, which is why I didn't know every detail of the review. Should have checked before I posted though.
38. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
its windows PHONE 7... and why do u people get so upset they mentioned the iphone? did it hurt u in some way?
44. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
Don't think anyone's THAT upset. It's just annoying sometimes how everyone is so smitten with Apple products and just overlook their shortcomings. I rarely hear mention of the lack of SD slot in Apple devices. Some of these review #s seem biased. How does the Sensation only get a 9, really?
7. john (unregistered)
apple brainwashed him to like apple product till dead, wake up pa
8. jeck77 (Posts: 25; Member since: 09 Dec 2010)
Seriously, grow up people. This is a phone blog, and he's giving comparisons. He mentions the iPhone 4, but doesn't say anything about it to attempt to sway anyone towards that direction. All of you are so quick to jump on the, "He's an Apple fanboy!" bandwagon, that none of you stop and attempt to use your brains. Trying to look cool on the internet doesn't make you cool in real life, it just makes you that much more pathetic.
11. AndroidTroll (Posts: 359; Member since: 05 Mar 2011)
I have used my brain and it concluded that the iPhone 4 should not be mentioned in this review because it is a single core, small screen, non 4G, non Android, last year's tech POS device that is completely out of its realm when compared to the Sensation!!
19. iwebdroidberry7 (Posts: 230; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
How DARE you speak with any logic at all on PhoneArena?!!!
22. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
That's a load of S%^T!!! There are no comparisons in the iPhone 4 review.
24. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
The i4 review does compare screen sizes. And jeck77, chill out dude. Like you said it's a phone blog. Insults aren't necessary.
33. jeck77 (Posts: 25; Member since: 09 Dec 2010)
Everyone has opinions, and are entitled to them. My thing is that people want so bad to look cool on the internet, that they will jump all over someone who even mentions anything in regards to the iPhone. I've owned every smartphone platform out there (other than Win7) and I've owned countless Android phones, and a currently have an iPhone 4 on Verizon. Android has many advantages and disadvantages, as does the iPhone. Guess that means I'm being paid by Apple since I just made a comparison too.
35. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
Much agreed. The slightest mention of the iPhone means you're a mindless Apple sheep. Seriously?
45. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
For me, it's more the scores that the Apple products keep getting and their shortcomings get overlooked. I rarely hear mention of the lack of SD slot on Apple products. How is the Sensation only a 9?
47. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
No one said they're Apple fanboys. He's said they're getting paid to mention iPhone in EVERY SINGLE REVIEW(only slight exagerration.)
53. TyDeL (unregistered)
I wasn't appalled that he mentioned an Apple device at the end of the review, but it did seem completely irrelevant. Just like when you're watching a movie and some really bad acting or effect pulls you out of the story, there's absolutely no reason to mention the Iphone at the end of this review.
I was excited when I realized he was making a comparison between the SGS2 at the end because these are two of the newest phones, which target the same market with nearly identical specs. That's a logical comparison to make between two, next-generation phones. To randomly bring up the Iphone4 after that, which is now horribly out dated and has been available for what feels like an eternity in the tech world is just completely unnecessary.
61. jrocka01 (Posts: 19; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
Couldn't have said it better myself.
9. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
So let me get this straight, its a little bulky, the screen angles could be better, and the battery life could be better? It only gets a 9 where the motorola atrix gets a 9.5.
Sorry to complain but this phone is way better than the iphone and atrix put together.
30. KingK (unregistered)
Not really. Notice no benchmarks are posted.........
Nothing special about the Sensation.
10. EA (unregistered)
i dont mind the 3d on the evo but it would have been better if it had a better camera. htc and sprint should have made a phone with a better camera,maybe 12meg instead of the 3d...tmobile and htc did a good job with the sensation by keeping the camera more relavent. unlike the evo3d which sacraficed a better photograph for a fun toy that wont be used often
16. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
i don't care about 3d and phones with 3d like evo and LG have poor viewing angles and for now i've never seen anybody talking about how exciting is 3d
28. AndroidTroll (Posts: 359; Member since: 05 Mar 2011)
Here is a philosophical question for you: What good is a newborn baby?
My point is that glasses free 3D on a phone is such new tech that people may not be able to see and understand the value of it until it has had a chance to develop. If you give it some time it might end up being a necessity for those who grow accustomed to it.
12. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
The screen is way better than the thunderbolts, way better battery life, way better construction, thinner, has a dual core processor, runs the latest version of sense and has gingerbread, can shoot full 1080 hd videos, but yet it gets the same score.
This is why people complain about the review scores, they never make sense.
17. sweetlou (unregistered)
if you read the whole review, it is much more positive than the thunderbolt's. If you've read both, its obvious that the Sensation is far ahead spec wise, so the scores shouldnt even matter. I know i never look at them.
18. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
The scores shouldnt matter? So they should give it nothing but compliments and only minor complaints but give it the same score as a phone that had a lot of issues? People look at overall scores and take that into consideration.
54. TyDeL (unregistered)
The problem with applying scores/rating to technical products is that the technology is always changing. Thunderbolt is a fairly new phone but even still it was released when there weren't really any dual core processor phones out. It may of been a "9" when it was reviewed several months ago, but it would be more of an "8" if it came out today. And that's really the only way you could make scores relevant, if you retro-actively went back and constantly updated ratings with the current technology.
You have to keep in mind the date of the review when you look at ratings.
13. Dark4o90 (Posts: 205; Member since: 20 Feb 2011)
one of the best devices ... haha and at the end!! just can't miss to mention iphone
27. iwebdroidberry7 (Posts: 230; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
Neither can you apparently.
36. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
Good point. Android fans can mention iPhone in almost every comment trying to defame it, but at the moment someone says anything positive about Apple anything, their automatically referred to as a sheep and a troll.
39. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
I agree with you Darko90. It doesn't upset me to see the ip4 mentioned in an Android review because at this point I expect from PA. I think when you are writing a review you should have a target audience in mind, and mentioning the ip4 on a review that will draw a huge amount of Android fans is kinda like going to Madison Square Garden, grabbing the announcer's mic and screaming "Miami rules"! You gotta expect a few people to say "WTF"! And seriously, at this point EVERYONE knows what an iPhone is. No one needs to be told...well there is also the iPhone! This mention of the ip4 was a shameless plug and you know it, iwebdroidberry7 (I like the name BTW, but you forgot about Symbian) If anyone is reading this article, it's more than likely they are looking for an alternative to iOS, not the other way around.
14. cellphoneuser (unregistered)
Sick and tired of all the best devices coming out on not the best of networks. I'm on Verizon, I'm due for an upgrade, and they keep coming out with crap. Sick of it.
15. sweetlou (unregistered)
great phone, would pick it up tomorrow if it were offered on a better carrier. Why good android phones cant be offered across different carriers bewilders me. Loving the "truly unlimited" plan at tmobile, aka throttled back lol.
25. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
The HTC Holiday may be the Sensation upcoming on AT&T, only with a 4.5" screen as opposed to a 4.3". Verizon not having a dual core HTC product does seem strange. They are going all in on the Bionic, I guess.
29. Su-Rio (Posts: 51; Member since: 05 May 2011)
not everyone can afford to get an iphone, even less for the coverage of an iphone... i.e. no warranty, expensive hardware to replace, expensive plans, easy to break, and antenna issues that they decline to mention
37. rayjones09 (Posts: 149; Member since: 16 Dec 2010)
I'm pretty sure this phone will either equal or costs more than iPhone.
59. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
lol you can get an iphone for 50 dollars.
Most high end android phones are 200-300 dollars, which is the same if it not more expensive than the iphone.
People need to realize owning an iphone now does not mean you are rich, it means you own a phone.
31. juiss (unregistered)
so basically this review said nothing, no benchmarks, no numbers, not even a full specification of the phone... all talk.. I hope it gets updated soon, but right now this is not a "review", more like a preview
32. hhaa (unregistered)
I really wanted to get this as i had the original Desire and absolutely love HTC Sense, but decided to go with the Galaxy S2 mainly due to the fact that the S2 has 16GB of internal memory and the Sensation? A mere 1GB, yet I don't even thinks this accounts for the inclusion of the OS.
Come on HTC! Give us more memory.......!
49. alien45 (Posts: 3; Member since: 02 Jun 2011)
I'm a iphone 3gs 16gb user(not a fanboy though). I never own a htc but really like the beauty of sense and freedom of android. I was very excited about the sensation but after watching some review about the performance review and mainly the battery life and internal memory I went for sgs2(probably going to get it tomorrow!). htc's upcoming & rumoured phones r no different in this case. They just want customers to rely solely on memory cards and recharging the battery twice a day, and that really sucks!
58. hhaa (unregistered)
I'm with you on that one, perhaps it was still early back then but when I picked up my Desire it was stunning yet no reviewer really picked up on the memory issue; even now they hardly seem to mention it.
My Desire came with 512MB of ROM, yet after the Android OS is accounted for I'm only left with 136MB!
With apps coming in at 10MB+ each, I managed to fill my Desire up in the first week of getting it!
A majority of apps will by default install to ROM, some may use external memory such as games. Certains apps might not function correctly either if installed to SD card.
For a high end phone you shouldn't really expect much when it comes to battery life and for me as long as it lasts through the working day I'm fine and thankfully both the Desire and S2 seems to do just fine.
Still, I'm quite envious of my girlfriend's iPhone 4 as it lasts well into 2 days from full even though she's constantly playing 'Plants vs Zombies'!

I really don't know how this works, let's say I buy one unlocked on ebay for example, will it work on canadian networks ? I don't want to buy one for nothing if it is not going to work, i know they are different but all these frequencies get me lost...
50. alien45 (Posts: 3; Member since: 02 Jun 2011)
I think u mixed up bootloader lock with carrier lock. This phone's bootloader locked means u can't install custom firmwares/roms on this phone and that doesn't have anything to do with the carrier unlock. So if u buy a carrier unlock phone from anywhere its surely gonna work.
55. exo128 (unregistered)
remixfa I've got an iPhone and found this review extremely helpful. I'll be getting this or the S2

I finally did something about our downstairs bathroom. Remember my updated upstairs bathroom? Hard to top the ruffled shower curtain (that I still love dearly) but I found that, thanks to my patient waiting (ok, procrastination), Target has a pretty decent selection of shower curtains & clearance sales now (I wasn't into anything they had last spring.)
Way back then I bought the squirrel prints by Ryan Berkley on etsy and it's taken me this long to figure out frames and the rest of the colors I wanted to go with. I still would love your thoughts on what color I should paint in there. It's tiny, and also has no window, hence the not so great photos.
I'd love to paint this room and then finally move on to the playroom across the small hallway- we already have the paint for the playroom that I lovesomuch- it's going to be robin's egg blue and this awesome pink-orange spice color. So what could I paint the bathroom that would compliment that? And not be too loud or too much, you know?

LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Lundbeck is teaming up with researchers at the University of Massachusetts Medical School (UMMS) to investigate whether RNAi technology could be applied to slow or even stop the progression of Huntington disease (HD). The ultimate aim would be to selectively suppress production of the abnormal huntingtin (mHtt) protein that causes HD. Lundbeck says the partnership is part of its Huntington disease research initiative, through which the firm is collaborating with academic organizations and companies that have promising compounds in development.
Led by UMMS' professor of medicine and cell biology Neil Aronin, M.D., the new partnership will evaluate potential dosing regimens for the use of siRNA molecules packaged as shRNA and delivered via an AAV vector. Evaluation studies will most critically involve measuring the distribution volume of the AAV-delivered shRNAmir (miRNA-adapted shRNA) in brain tissue to achieve spread throughout the striatum and nearby cortex.
"Our core idea is that RNAi can be used to selectively reduce mutant huntingtin production to slow or block the progression of HD, but we also hypothesize that excessive huntingtin silencing may impair neuronal function by interfering with essential signaling events," Dr. Aronin notes. "This research collaboration allows us to test promising RNAi-based therapeutic vehicles to selectively knock down mutant huntingtin with the goal of restoring normal neuronal function."
"We've followed Dr. Aronin and his team of researchers at the Medical School for some time and have been inspired by their bold exploration of RNAi technology and its potential use as a therapy for HD," adds Stevin Zorn, Ph.D., evp at Lundbeck Research USA.

Subtraction by Addition: Regional Jail Authority's plan to add jobs makes sense
February 1, 2013
Joe DeLong, executive director of West Virginia's Regional Jail Authority, wants to reduce his agency's payroll costs. Hiring 100 new full-time employees ought to do that, he believes....
Armchair managers. Have any commenters actually run a corrections facility? Mission one of a government agency head (which does not cover a facility administrator by the way, they are typically very far from the head of their agency) is to complete the mission of the agency, not their own. We have too many criminals on the streets, and I though even Uber-cons were in favor of keeping criminals off the street; or is summary judgement for Capital punishment going to be dispensed on the streets? Someone must have recently watched the new Judge Dreed movie.

If managers cannot mange the OT, then managers aren't managing. How much OT is needed during the first week of hunting season because more requests are approved than should be? How many sick days are used during this time w/o requiring proof of illness? How about sudden absences on Fridays and Mondays or whatever days extend the weekly two off? Has anyone examined the need for certain posts that might be collapsed? Good management is hard. Asking for more money is the easy way out.

A thorough examination of this should be done but probably won't. It is mission one for all gov't agency heads to expand their realms by increasing the agency's size. Second, the number 100 is suspicious. Exactly 100 are needed, not 78 or 96? Third, this is shortsighted. More employees means more longterm expense. Overtime, on the other hand is an expense that does not add more leave use, personnel issues or retirement expense. Fourth, management's job is to manage. This is a shocking expectation to many managers. Resigning oneself to the status quo and saying, "That's just the way it is" is not good management. DO NOT APPROVE this request. (It'll be approved anyway, I know.)

Sears legendary "Big Book" catalog disappeared 20 years ago. To mark the anniversary, Sears Hometown Stores will host a "throwback" promotion Friday and Saturday, featuring current versions of some popular items advertised in 1993 with the same or lower pricing than then.
For instance, one of the products advertised in 1993 was a 3-cubic-foot capacity, 11-cycle Kenmore washer for $429.99. Sears Hometown Stores will offer a comparable Kenmore washer, but it will have larger capacity, more cycles, an Energy Star rating and it will be priced under $400.
In addition to other "throwback" pricing, each shopper also will receive an anniversary scratch card for an additional "mystery discount" of up to 20 percent off the entire purchase. The cards will be available while they last with certain terms and conditions.
Sears Hometown Stores can be found in Moncks Corner and Walterboro. They primarily sell appliances, tools, lawn and garden equipment and seasonal outdoor products.

A Letter in the May 15, 2007, Tomahawk Leader:
To the Editor:
Have you noticed the new vision in Tomahawk? It all started with a handful of folks who join(ed) the Aesthetics Committee of the Tomahawk Downtown Business Council. It's time those people were recognized for their dedication. They are: Dawn Breitzke of Cover to Cover Books, Melissa Zimmer of Northern Bear Antiques, Wendy Wagner of The Liquor Store, Peggy McDowell of Jester Studio, Norma Schwaller of Tomahawk Leader, Ed Nyberg of the City of Tomahawk, Jed Buelow of Tomahawk Leader and Pat Haskin (chairperson) of Tomahawk Monument Co.
The vision? Restoring Tomahawk to some of its "Glory Days." The "Wilderness Pole" idea came about with a plan to replace the old totem pole that once graced South Tomahawk Avenue ... The pole had a rough beginning, but thanks to the need for innovation, the original was replaced with something much more imaginative and stimulating.
Chainsaw artist, Nathan Nieskiewicz of Potlicker's out of Rhinelander on Hwy. 17, is helping put this vision into being. That "Wilderness Pole" itself signifies the determination to keep moving forward despite adversity. The eagle facing north signifies the embodiment of our forefathers' strong spirit to bring their own vision north. William Bradley did just that along with other pioneers ... The fish "papa" brings the sustenance provided by the soul to keep us on track … The nest is the "comfort" our community provides to individuals and business in the past and is there always to which we can return. It signifies the "inheritance" or "legacy" for our children. The mother eagle with her eaglet signifies the new beginning or renewal of new life in Tomahawk. The baby bear signifies new strength rising up out of a "stale" environment – the desire to bring new direction to our downtown ... (Keep an eye on another committee of the Tomahawk Downtown Business Council that is working to bring the Main Street Program to Tomahawk.) Let the heron remind us of silent thieves who can rob us of our ability to move forward. (Only a reminder, not an obstruction.) The heron has beauty and grace, too, that is an inspiration. …
Have you noticed the buzz of activity created by "new hope" i.e. new business? Smokers Meat, owned by Tom and Brenda Williams, has been a joy to watch develop in the old Tomahawk Video store; new owner, Cheri Ellis of Critters Center Pet Shop is a welcome face; a new restaurant in the old Interior Creations building is owned by Tammy Goehe and known as Jeanie's Café … with its great Harley-Davidson theme and return of some of LaNou's great cooks; Tom Cimino is welcome with his new furniture store in the old Bambino building. A stroll downtown will confirm other new businesses in the past few years. Who said we were "dying"? Quite the opposite – we are alive and moving forward with our vision. It takes fresh ideas and tenacity to achieve success that keep that vision alive. The Tomahawk Downtown Business Council asks for endorsement from all businesses, building owners, manufacturing and corporations and businesses and individuals to help achieve new life in Tomahawk. Let the Wilderness Pole become a beacon for us. Let's keep our heads up and eyes focused on a new beginning.
Pat Haskin
(Editor's Note: Donations for the wilderness pole may be sent to the STAR Foundation, in care of Tomahawk Downtown Business Council, P.O. Box 587, Tomahawk, WI 54487, with Wilderness Pole in the memo portion of the check. For more information about the Main Street program, contact Mary Czaja at CIS Group.

text: Asthma describes an inflammatory condition involving the airways of the lungs that causes breathing problems. We know now that there are many types of asthma, including allergic asthma and non-allergic asthma. Most asthma, especially in school aged children, have and allergic cause and are commonly associated with other allergic diseases such as allergic rhinitis and eczema. Asthma can also occur in people who do not have allergies. We believe that asthma occurs due to complex interactions among a person's genes, the environment, and infections. However, the exact mechanism for the development of asthma remains unknown.

Catholic Community Services honors community leaders, volunteer organizations for generosity
Editor's note: Gary Stevenson, the presiding bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is a graduate of the Huntsman School of Business and a the winner of the Huntsman School's Distinguished Executive Alumnus Award. In this story he and other members of the LDS presiding Bishopric were honored by Catholic Community Services.

SALT LAKE CITY — There are refugee families in Utah who would literally be lost without Katherine Mahoney.
Having lived in tent camps for five, 10 or even 20 years, they come to this state with no clue about the appliances in their new kitchens, or the routes of the buses zooming outside their windows. But with Mahoney, a volunteer at the Parish Refugee Resettlement Ministry at St. John the Baptist in Draper, together they navigate first visits to imposing grocery stores and first TRAX rides.

CRESSON -- At Wawa, the customer comes second to employees.
Above all else, Wawa values its own people, but with good reason, said Harry J. McHugh, senior vice president of operations at Wawa Inc.
In turn, employees strive to fulfill one of the company's core values of always delighting the customer, McHugh said.
"This is our real reason for success," McHugh said.
McHugh spoke about Wawa's commitment to hospitality and constant innovation as part of Mount Aloysius College's 2012-13 speaker series.
Stan Sheetz, president and CEO of Sheetz Inc., introduced McHugh to the crowd gathered in Alumni Hall.
Despite today's constant battle for dominance in a Pennsylvania market divided by strict territorial lines, the two titans of the convenience store industry weren't always rivals, Sheetz said.
In the 1980s, both men served as head of operations for their respective companies. They frequently traveled together on market research trips, and the two convenience store leaders shared information freely, Sheetz said.
"He never stops, he never slows down," Sheetz said of McHugh.
McHugh joined Wawa in 1973 and has filled diverse roles from director of strategic planning and real estate to vice president of store operations.
"He was extremely accomplished at every single one of those ventures," Sheetz said.
McHugh thanked Sheetz for the praise, but said the company owed its success to its people and constant innovation.
Adaptation to a changing market and adhering to the company's key values was key to keeping the company going, McHugh said.
"We succeeded beyond our wildest dreams," McHugh said.
What started as a iron works and later a textile factory is now the longest-running privately held company in the world, McHugh said.
Wawa constantly innovated, he said. In the 1960s, Wawa dairy farms transitioned into mini-supermarkets. The company began to build, not just make hoagies, McHugh said. And in 1996 Wawa jumped back into gasoline sales, which now exceed about 1.5 billion gallons annually.
From restrooms to gasoline sales and food service, Wawa strives to ensure a customer-focused quality permeates through the entire company, McHugh said.
The convenience store chain leader was a perfect fit for the Hospitality: Finding Home in a Changing World lecture series, said Thomas P. Foley, Mount Aloysius president.
Sheetz embraced McHugh following his introduction. At times, the company has followed the Altoona-based chain's lead and even lags behind in gasoline sales, McHugh said.
But some of the friendly rivalry familiar to convenience store patrons on each side of the state was exchanged between the two friends.
Sheetz recalled the countless hours the two men spent discussing how to sell more Snickers bars.
And McHugh joked about Wawa's style -- a bit more "elegance" in store design when compared to Sheetz, he said.
Above all else, both men said their companies strive to cater to the customer and have achieved success through innovation and genuinely caring for their own people.
"We cater to everybody," McHugh said. "That's what the customer wants."

Noun - In snowboarding or skiing, the large, tightly packed groups of first timers found mostly comprised of little children and their parents. Often not quite sure of what they're doing, going slow, and/or swerving from side to side in wide turns.

Rattling the gates: A Peace Corps volunteer's chronicle of HIV life and AIDS death in Swaziland
02 June 2005
by Alyson Peel
Simphiwe and I went to visit people from the neighboring community and to take some food to those in desperate need. Our first stop was to see Mazaza. He looked good: a broad smile stretched across his face, his cheeks full and hinting of health. He was sitting up off the ground a little, on a plastic jug or box turned on its side. We left Mazaza in good spirits and thanked the gogo–which means elderly woman or grandmother–who cares for him. Perhaps she is his mother, I am not sure, but she is sangoma, a traditional healer, and she talks to her ancestors. I wonder what she says to them in these dark times. I also wondered Mazaza missed Mandla.
The day we first met Mazaza, he was sitting on the ground outside his round stone, stick, and mud hut. Mandla lived in a tiny mud, stick, and stone hut perhaps 15 feet from Mazaza's rondeval.
Mazaza had been in an accident some time ago and his body was badly burned and broken. Most of the fingers had been burned from his left hand and one side of his body is covered in scar tissue. His right leg is broken about 5 inches above the knee and when he lifts his thigh up from the ground with his hands, the knee and lower leg simply fall away from the leg, attached only by skin and ligaments. The leg had never been repaired.
When I sat down on the ground next to Mazaza, tears ran down his cheeks. He was hungry and he seemed broken in other ways less tangible.
Mandla was emaciated and desperate looking, and his tears were less subtle. Unlike some more tightly constructed Swazi mud huts, Mandla's was a makeshift shelter that provided scant protection from the elements. He was sleeping on the ground, on damp dirty blankets, which would serve to exacerbate his illness. We learned that someone had set fire to his previous home. Mandla had been treated for tuberculosis for quite some time and was not improving. My feeling was that he was not being treated for the underlying cause and I suggested he come into town for HIV testing.
Since that first visit we have been back several times–to bring food or simply to see Mazaza and let him know he is on our minds. On our second visit, Simphiwe talked the owner of the local lumber yard out of some old discarded planks so Mandla could be elevated a few inches from the wet ground. The owner gave us the old planks for free but charged us to take them out there. There is so little for free here.
A week later Mandla was dead. Simphiwe was disheartened.
I told him that, for the last week of Mandla's life, he didn't have to sleep on the cold wet ground and that he should take heart that he had provided some small comfort to someone at the end of their days. Sometime that has to be enough, especially here.
We walked further down the dirt road to find the gogo with the two tiny children whose faces haunt me at night.
Ah, this is a sad story of an old woman whose leg has been broken for more than a year. I gather she had some treatment at one time, but it was ineffective. When we first encountered her, she was lying on a small bed in a dank, smoke-filled hut, her broken leg swollen and fluid-filled. Two tiny children were with her in the hut, one about three feet tall with huge liquid eyes standing naked in a small bucket of dirty water, trying to give himself a bath. His smaller brother hunched in the corner. They looked feral.
The gogo explained that her daughter, the mother of these small ones, dropped them off in July and took off to find something better for herself on the outskirts of Manzini, in an area known for its sex trade activity. The gogo can't leave her bed and cooks for the tiny ones in a pot by the side of the bed, hence the smoke-filled room. She stopped eating some time ago because she can't get out of the bed to go outside and relieve herself. She lifts her shirt to expose folds of flesh that indicate she was heavy at one time. She says she asks God to take her every day and is considering taking her own life.
If this woman dies, no one will know for days, or maybe weeks, and these tiny children, whose faces disrupt my sleep, will be climbing over her dead body trying to wake her, helpless about what to do next.
There is a small maize field outside the hut and we learn that some months ago, during a time she was feeling better, the gogo dragged herself on her elbows to plant the corn. It is unlikely the corn will ever be harvested, unless it is done so by thieves.
But today the gogo is feeling better and is actually sitting up on her bed. My slight relief is dampened by the coughs and labored breathing of the little ones, who have recently contracted the flu.
Someone is being sent to find the mother so the gogo can go in the hospital for a couple weeks to have her leg treated. We told the gogo that, if the mother cannot be located, we will try to find someone who can care for the tiny ones while she is hospitalized. I asked Simphiwe to have her get someone to contact us if the children become sicker. Given the situation with the mother, it is reasonable to be concerned that one or both children might be HIV-positive.
Before we left, I knelt and put my hand on each child's chest, feeling their little hearts beating and wishing that some of my own health could somehow be transmitted through my skin and their threadbare shirts.
We continued the road, hoping to find Babe M's place. We asked some small children we meet along the way.
La pha. Over there.
They followed us at a distance, giggling and shouting encouragement. On my first trip to this neighborhood I did not meet Babe M. He was out working his fields. But I did see his children. His wife died a couple years back, bleeding to death from complications of childbirth.
Babe M cares for his four children and cultivates several fields to provide for them. The youngest child, two years old, was being carried on the back of his older but small sibling. The infant was covered in scales and oozing sores such that his eyes could not open, barely recognizable as human.
It pained us to see this child and I told the woman with me to have Babe M bring the child in for HIV testing. The next Monday, he was sitting in the testing room, holding this little one close to him on his lap. Actually, they were holding each other.
The doctor I had met previously in the ARV clinic passed by and came over to greet me. He took one look at the infant and said the baby needed to be hospitalized. I told him, unfortunately, that the mother is dead, there are no other relatives, so there is no one to stay at the hospital with the child, which is a hospital regulation because of the severe nursing shortage.
He told us to take the baby to the lab for HIV testing but that it was his professional opinion the child was suffering from congenital syphilis. He told us to come by the office at 11, bypassing hours of waiting at the clinic.
It turned out the baby was negative for HIV and had been receiving treatment for two years for external symptoms–the sores and upper respiratory sequelae–nearly at the expense of his life. I saw Babe M with the baby three days later when he was registering one of his other children for primary school.
The change in the infant after just a short course of antibiotics for congenital syphilis was striking. Today, about four weeks later, almost all the sores are gone from his face and the eyes are open. The child is cooing, animated. There is a big open sore on his neck and Babe M is afraid he might relapse. We have agreed to meet at the clinic again and see the doctor together.
Babe M and baby M still cling to each other as if sharing a pact of grief at the loss of the mother. But today a renewed spirit and vigor is also shared between them. Babe M is grateful to us and sends us off with a bag of peanuts and a smile.
Simphiwe and I walked together the several miles back into town. I am happy to be in his company. I delight in his company. If there is a hero to this Swaziland story, it is in someone like Simphiwe. He is a 29-year-aold Swazi whose gentleness, equanimity, and grace under pressure leaves me in a constant state of awe. He is a volunteer with a local NGO overseeing HIV efforts here. For four years, for less than $20 a month, he gets up each day and goes out to make the world a better place. But his is a story for another day.
He and I part ways in town and I head back to the orphanage. The girls are busy playing, so I head out for a long run. When I get back, I am greeted by the housemother who has just returned from Manzini. I can see by her face that something is not right. She tells me her son, in his 20s and living in the city, died yesterday. I wrap her in my arms, knowing that for this there is no comfort.
The day began with a rattle at the gate.
In Swaziland, it is common practice to stand down at the end of the entryway to the homestead, which can be quite a distance from the actual house, and either rattle the gate or cry out ekhaya until you have caught someone's attention. This morning my attention was caught by Babe M. He stood outside the gate with the baby on his shoulders. I have seen them thus so often that it sometimes seems they are one. Even when cultivating his fields, there perches the small child on his back.
We are off to the clinic, which is held in a ramshackle building adjacent to the hospital. Unlike the hospital, the clinic has some semblance of order, although it is just as dingy and in as much need of repair. The room is filled with scores of patients seated on old church pews. Perhaps 15 people packed in each of about 10 pews spaced about 8 inches apart. Overflow snakes out the door. Those waiting for blood pressure testing sit on smaller benches by the nurse's station. In a corner, partially curtained by an old stained sheet, sits the intake nurse.
Babe M and I are too late for the hymn, which starts the morning intake, and take our places on one of the last benches available. After each person hands over their records–mangled pieces of paper documenting previous visits–they are sent to the consulting nurse. We inch along the benches for two hours before we reach the intake nurse.
People here are very sick and at the rate at which one makes one's way to intake, it is possible to get a good long look at misery. Sometimes it vomits at your feet.
Babe M does not need his blood pressure taken, shaving an hour off our wait, and we move to a long bench to repeat the snake crawl. Fortunately the nurse is a young man from Zimbabwe who I have met before. He directs us to a long, dark hallway where we are to wait for the doctor.
We are number 18, black, not to be confused with blue or red, signifying other consult rooms. I leave to get bananas and bread for father and son. When I get back, the lines have not moved. We have been here for three hours. At about 1 p.m., four hours from our arrival, the doctor will see us. The doctor is a woman, rare here, from the Congo. She takes the baby's history, prescribes the medication, and we are off. The pharmacy, we learn, is closed until 2 p.m. I take my leave of the two, my main purpose served. After collecting his meds, Babe M will walk the several miles home with his son clinging to his back.
Today, the rattling at the gate is a sadder story. Lindie is eight months pregnant and has four children. The oldest, Linda, is a boy from a previous marriage and his father is now dead. Linda lives with his gogo because Lindie's new husband did not want to support Linda- who is 12 years old and HIV-positive.
Sores began to appear on Linda's legs when he was six. A year later, he had a bad bout of tuberculosis. He has gotten progressively worse, bearing sores like tiny angry volcanoes that erupt on his lower extremities. He has upper-respiratory distress consistent with his infection. Vacant look notwithstanding, Linda is a lovely and quiet child.
Despite all of these symptoms, he was not tested for HIV until last month, and we are taking him in today to have his blood drawn for a CD4 count.
An estimated 40 percent Swaziland's adults are HIV-positive. Most young women between the ages of 18 and 25 are either pregnant of nursing a small child. The majority of these women have not been tested.
In Swaziland, most of the attention is being placed on the adult population, many of whom will surely die. But very little attention is given to the staggering number of HIV babies currently being born who will begin to get sick. A recent study showed that, while about 30 percent of HIV babies will not survive their first year, roughly 40 percent will survive their 5th birthday. We will start to see these children in the primary schools in great numbers within a few years. We are already starting to see them now.
The nation's schools are not prepared to either identify or support these kids. If you estimate that approximately 30 to 50 percent of babies born to HIV mothers contract HIV, and that approximately half of all pregnant women are HIV-positive, you can figure that about 15 to 20 percent of all babies born in Swaziland this year will be HIV-positive.
I took Lindie and her child down to the Town Board. Simphiwe agreed to go with us so that they would fully understand, in their own tongue, what is happening to the child. Simphiwe explains to the mother that HIV can take 6 to 10 years to develop to AIDS and that it is likely that Linda contracted the virus during childbirth and that her unborn child is at risk. If she tests positive, she can be treated with meds that will reduce the chance of mother-to-child transmission. If Linda is placed on anti-retroviral therapy, she must make sure he takes the medication regularly or he will get worse quickly. She voices fears that the meds may make him sicker. We agree, but add that the therapy will save his life. In Swaziland, that is sometimes the choice, either live sick or die. Lindie agrees to be tested.
On our way back to the hospital, a lovely, pregnant and distressed woman stops us. Lindie, who speaks some English, explains to me that this woman is in to get her husband's CD4 results, and hopefully some medicine for her husband. He is too sick and weak to stand. I'm not sure what the women wants from me but I agree to go with her to the ARV clinic. The results of last week's test have not come back and won't be available for another week. If the count is less than 200 and you are symptomatic, a week can kill you here. She wants me to see her husband. She wipes an eye, tantamount to sobbing in a country that shows little grief, having had to bear so much of it. I walk her home down a narrow, rocky dirt road barely wide enough for a car for several miles. I wonder how she will make this trip at the end of her pregnancy. At the end of an overgrown footpath we reach the homestead–three small mud and stone huts and a mangy dog with an angry red eye.
Sikhumbuso, her husband, is lying strangely twisted on the bed. There is no muscle mass left on his body. He will die. She says he stopped talking two days ago but, oddly, he has a piece of cooked potato pressed against his mouth. Apparently he is able to eat a little, but the diarrhea keeps him from deriving any nutrients. After five months in Swaziland, I am still amazed at how little it takes to sustain life. That this man breathes at all is an enigma to me. If he has any awareness of our presence, he gives no sign. I suspect his mind is somewhere preparing for its final journey.
There are no neighbors with cars to take him to the hospital. Christ, there are no neighbors with electricity, phones, or running water. There are no neighbors with much of anything, not even hope these days. Back in town I find a plump Swazi in a battered old Toyota pickup who delivers Sikhumbuso to the hospital for E20. Expensive. There are no other solutions; it is too far to carry him.
They carry Sikhumbuso to the truck. It should take only one with all of his weight loss, but Sikhumbuso is long and cumbersome. His pregnant wife has dressed to accompany him. At eight months pregnant, she will sleep under his bed on a sponge pad during his stay. I watched them drive away knowing in my heart it is too late but also knew the gesture would not be forgotten by the family.
I was late getting home to begin my community rounds. We are doing a door-to-door census of who lives at the home, who is orphaned, who is sick, who has died. The grinding poverty that greets me at each homestead seems somewhat less brutal. It is relative and here you can always find someone who is worse off.
I headed into town with the intent of checking on the sick man at the hospital. I am sitting in a small "canteen" where the women cook and serve customers at old picnic tables covered with torn pieces of old plastic tablecloths. I look up to see S's wife standing at the edge of the table looking down on me. What I am able to gather, with the help of someone who speaks some English, is that they denied him admission. She does not know why. She says she will try to bring him to the ARV clinic next Wednesday if she can get transport. I do not tell her that he will not live that long.

JERSEY SHORE - After presenting a comprehensive plan to the Jersey Shore Area School Board less than two weeks ago, the district now has to put the proposal on hold.
Superintendent Richard Emery made the announcement at a special meeting recently.
The proposal included moving the district's fourth- and fifth-grade students to the middle school, eight-grade students to the high school and closing all but one elementary school.
Emery explained that during a routine conference call Jan. 16 with the state Department of Education about the construction project currently under way at Jersey Shore Elementary, PDE informed him that going forward with the plan would "jeopardize" state reimbursement for the project.
Reimbursement would be affected because the grade reconfiguration was not included in PlanCon part A during the district's application for the construction project.
Emery said he was not sure if it would affect the entire reimbursement or a part of it.
"I kind of got the feeling it would (affect the entire reimbursement)," he said on Wednesday. "Once (PDE) said it would jeopardize reimbursement, the administration took the stance that we would change the timeline (of the comprehensive plan)."
Emery said he never contacted or spoke with PDE about the comprehensive plan before presenting it, nor did it come up in discussions with administrators when building the plan. He said it is because the plan never was created in response to the construction project but in order to keep educational programs in the district.
"We're looking for ways to keep what we do," he said when speaking about programs.
The district also was notified by PDE that in order to not affect reimbursement, it could not implement the plan until the construction project was fully completed and the building was occupied for at least one year.
With the recent news from PDE, Emery said the administration is looking to alter the timeline of the start of the plan. He said the district still believes the plan is "doable," it just is going to take longer to implement.
In Emery's estimation, the plan will not take effect for "about two years."
If the project stays on schedule, Emery said construction on the elementary school should be completed by the start of the 2014-15 school year. So the plan could not be implemented until the 2015-16 school year.
Numerous times during the initial presentation on the comprehensive plan, Emery said it was needed in order to maintain the district's programs.
Now that it is unable to start the plan, Emery said he has his "fingers crossed" that it will be able to salvage as many of its programs as possible. He added that the district is able to close an elementary school because that was included in the PlanCon process.
"I really don't know (if the board will explore closing a school). I think a lot of that will (depend) on the budget this year. ... We will be looking at a way to keep our educational programs," he said.
But Emery isn't confident that programs can be spared.
"In my opinion, if the budget comes in from the state, or the subsidy from the state, where I've been hearing," Emery said, "we have nothing to look at but programs (when balancing the budget)."
