Nokia's ex-camera guru Damian Dinning unimpressed with the HTC One UltraPixel camera
0. phoneArena 20 Feb 2013, 08:04 posted on
The conversation in Damian's Twitter feed also hovers around the fact that it is just a normal size sensor optimized for larger pixels yet with 4 MP output, and the results from a juggernaut like the 808 PureView would be much better, since in its automatic 5 MP mode the effective pixel size is 3.85 microns against the HTC One's 2 microns...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

At least their making new ways with their camera ex guru

Yeah, but that is not reason for HTC to provoke Nokia. They want to compare UltraPixel with PureView and announce it like competition tp PV, but that is not comparable at all.
But, they deserve credit for their aims to make some inovations, unless it is way to sell ordinary thing under the diff name.

Umm how do u know if its comparable or not no one has com paired it LOL... And if this super high MP camera is so great on the 808(which just to remind everyone was terrible and sold horrible and didn't even make it to the U.S at all) why didn't they put it on there real flagship the 920.
59. Birds (Posts: 1157; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
For one the 808 is a niche device and isn't built for the general phone users...I can explain this all I want to but this is not my point in replying. The 808 pure view has a large camera. That makes for a very chunky phone. A flagship device shouldn't really be too thick and should be well rounded. That is why the 920 didn't have the Pureview Phase 1 camera. Nokia is working on putting the Pureview Phase 1 camera on a WP8 device, but the 920 was a market must have, or Nokia would have risked quite a bit to wait for so long.

If the first sample images are any indication, then its certainly not a case of sour grapes. Forget the 808, the sample images don't come close to the N8 (almost a 3 year old device). But yes, HTC deserve credit for trying something different (although the underlying inspiration seems Nokia). As is the case with first gen tech, its not quite great. Hopefully the next Ultrapixel sensor will be better.
14. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3770; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Won't say much...will let the upcoming image comparison do the talking for me.
(I still know what 808 did last summer)

haha nice one..

Come on PA still waiting. Where is the comparison? :P
45. eshwarnag (Posts: 19; Member since: 20 Feb 2013)
not close to n8?
3. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Sounds like things are setting up real nice for a Nokia L1010 (40+ Mp PureView camera edition) vs. HTC One. Nokia is supposed to be taking the wraps off the L1010 at MWC in what, 5 days? And then there is Sammy with the GS IV.... 2013 is off to an interesting start.

Dear Mr.Damian,
Every imaging technology compared to Nokia's is crap. So, dont compare with Nokia.
HTC One camera looks great compared to other phones.
27. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Well put.
Likely best Android [phone] camera for a few months or longer, but I don't think it will attain "legendary" status like the N8, 808 PureView, or Lumia 920.
It is surely disappointing to Androiders that it has no expandable storage or removable battery. While I will grant that the 4MP (can barely believe I'm typing anything under 8 in 2013 for a flagship, even more so anything past 2010) likely takes up less storage space, if one wanted to shoot a few hours' worth of movies and keep some music or apps on the phone, they'll be out of space quickly. At least the Lumia 920 syncs stuff automatically to SkyDrive so one can remove saved files from the phone when no longer needed.
43. CanYouSeeTheLight (Posts: 1116; Member since: 05 Jul 2012)
Tell me one use for 8 or even 13 megapixel sensors? I have one on my phone and i don't see the point in it, not like you are going to do posters with pics from your phone. Also you should keep your mouth shut for that last miserable sentence of yours, in case you didn't know all HTC devices come with Dropbox installed and 25gb free space and they also sync automatically with it. My One X does it.
34. tusshharish (Posts: 342; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)
as nokia's imaging is great and they set example of imaging for others by giving pureview so it is natural that everyone compare its imaging with nokia's.......

5. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Don't think anyone will match the pureview 808 anytime soon other than by Nokia itself...not only can the pureview do what the HTC one does but like the Nokia guru said there pixel size is almost double of the HTC one but what pureview has is that lost less zoom that no other phone has.

lol the design is even more unimpressive.
10. yero789 (unregistered)
Oh I was thinking about this when I first saw the back of this phone :D it looks so familiar to Sony Xperia P,I was so confused,because it really looks like Sony Xperia P(from the back).
21. jsdechavez (Posts: 731; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Xperia at the back. Blackberry at the front. What else did I miss?
17. FireDragon (Posts: 114; Member since: 13 Nov 2009)
No wonder everytime I was looking ONE from back I was thinking to myself "This is so beautiful I must have seen this before, but where." Now yes. Although Xperia did that better than the COPIED One (see what I did there? ;) )
Xperial put the flash in design, brilliant. I respected HTC but last 2 attempts are... well, not very original, not very good HTC, not very good.
30. Diego! (Posts: 575; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
Which Sony-Ericsson Xperia is that one? I can't believe no one is mentioning that!!! You go boy! :)
53. yero789 (unregistered)
It's Sony Xperia P,which has the brightest screen in a smartphone,at least that's what Sony's website says :D

words of wisdom from the ex guru...
HTC got hit real hard... Its really true that the ultrapixel gimmick of HTC doesnt impress most people...
9. asingha94 (Posts: 295; Member since: 08 Apr 2012)
yes!!Whatever name it or call it by ultrapixel,this is a joke!!htc made a fun of pureview camera.Now htc deserves more than that.nokia ftw
12. moronman66 (Posts: 162; Member since: 09 Jan 2012)
So what he's saying is that this isn't new, and it can't beat the best camera phone's camera... I'm shocked? HTC has a nice concept while, albeit, isn't completely new, it should at least be a decent, if not above average, camera, on a phone at least.
13. pellegrini (Posts: 84; Member since: 14 Jun 2012)
The fact is, HTC is in the right direction.
15. tashreef (Posts: 476; Member since: 24 Nov 2012)
but they challenged Nokia Pureview technology ..where is it? Ultrapixel ?
it doesn't make sense HTC..... Nokia will launch EOS in just 5 days... what you got?
16. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
I'd bet a lot of manufacturers head executives would be "unimpressed" Nokia's smartphone sales figures!
The Htc one camera is a big step forward,yes maybe the pure view 808 has a better camera but then almost nobody likes having a phone as close to resembling a brick these days. Htc have done well to keep their phone spec and design as cutting edge and current
23. faisal8708 (Posts: 104; Member since: 15 Nov 2011)
Yea no body likes a brick as a smartphone but everyone likes a smartphones which u hav to charge twice a day everyday. I hav an S3 and just bought L920 to replace my N8 and the lumia is more comfortable hold and use than all these slim devices so much so tht it has now become my daily driver and dont forget those bricks are far more durable than any other smartphone on the market
18. lovefist (unregistered)
So umm.. Where do people post their pics taken with smart phones? FB right? To show off and brag, but.. Do people actually care if your pic is grainy when zoomed in? I believe people don't actually do that so what's the point of "better quality" if you can only notice it when zoomed in? If you actually do that then I suggest getting a life or better yet, a job.
29. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Actually many do care, if they're decent photos. If you look at an album and they're all dim awful bar photos or concert photos, there isn't much to see (worse if they're destroyed via a post-filter or Instacrapped). However, if a decent camera is used and the subject material is of interest, folks will want to see more.
Case in point: I've been uploading my wedding photos to Facebook to share with those that could not attend and also those that were there. The photos were taken by a professional photographer and his team, and look great, such that most in attendance have used the photos for their profile pics and cover photos. In contrast, an acquaintance had a "shotgun wedding" and their "reception" was at a bar, and the best cameras on hand were those in the smartphones or a cheap point-and-shoot. Only a few pictures are usable as anything other than a timestamp. Had someone there had an HTC One, or a Lumia 920 or 808 PureView (or a decent point-and-shoot) more of the photos of their special day would be useable and more memorable.

Nokia's sex camera!!!! Dafuq did I just read?
22. bragzter (Posts: 52; Member since: 21 Feb 2012)
No one comes close to Nokia's camera technology. Nokia uses Carl Zeiss lens, which is one of the best in the world. The N8 is still the camera phone to beat, and the Lumia 920 and PureView808 only solidified their dominance. At MWC Nokia will show why they're the best once again.
HTC tried something new, kudos to them, but they shouldn't have started a war with the king and don't have an army. They brought a knife to a gunfight
24. badboymaru (Posts: 1; Member since: 20 Feb 2013)
Nokia phones are rubbish and are not quite the company it used to be. Pureview series of phones are overhyped and feel gimmicky. The Pureview 808 only saving grace is the Carl Zeiss lens. The phone itself looks like a brick with an outdated OS. Probably one of the worst looking phones.....As for the Nokia 920 one word unispiring.
The HTC one may not have the best camera but at least it sufficiently does the job for your general snaps to upload to the net websites and blogs. Overall a better looking, well designed phone with Android OS ftw.

heavy games ???? mention some.... please....
38. jellmoo (Posts: 1590; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
Who is this "we" you speak of? Maybe that is what you want, but do not presume to speak for everyone else. I for one don't want to play "heavy games" on my device. Nor do I care for Beats audio as I have not bought into the need to spend a ridiculous amount of money on headphones.
Speak for yourself. If the HTC One is perfect for you, then that is awesome! But do not presume to speak for anyone else or attempt to invalidate the criticism of others over a device that does not fit their needs.

heavy games?.. GET A PC u noob...
54. ravigill (Posts: 24; Member since: 30 Jan 2013)
what type of person u are shadez....in mobiles wont be 2 gb of games be heavy(great graphics)...will ur nokia 808 can play gta vice city,,,max pyne......u are noob u have to admit it...and persons who dislike are also great noob ....
55. jellmoo (Posts: 1590; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
I'm not sure why you continue on this path. Not everyone wants to play GTA or Max Payne on their phone. I most certainly do not. If this is a priority for you, then great. Enjoy gaming on your phone. Obviously a device like the 808 is not the ideal match for your needs.
But, your needs are not going to be the same as the needs of other people. If I am looking for the best camera phone available, and do not care about mobile gaming at all, the 808 is probably the best phone for me. If I care about playing games, then I probably want to look into a high end Android or iPhone. If I want to watch movies on a large screen, I probably want the Note 2. If I want great Office integration I probably want a Windows Phone.
Everyone has different needs from their mobile device. Playing games on a device is not a primary criteria for everyone.
26. Muzhhur (Posts: 260; Member since: 14 Sep 2012)
is not about pixels, its how do you use them... sorry my friends buts theres no reason to think that ultra pixel is better than pureview, you can talk about sells, but it is pointless.
What would you prefer, corean stuff or Finnish one?
Im take the real one
50. shadez10 (Posts: 427; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
HTC is Taiwanese stuff
28. linas_ltu (Posts: 32; Member since: 19 Apr 2012)
We can all agree that 808 Pureview phone has the best camera. We can also agree, that it is as ugly as hell and any manufacturer can but such a sensor in such a thick device! HTC made a very slim phone and one of the most amazing design ever. And... of course it is not a windows phone.
31. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
May not be a Windows Phone, but the new UI sure mimics it! *snicker*
39. jellmoo (Posts: 1590; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
What on earth does Windows Phone have to do with your point? Neither the One nor the 808 are Windows Phone, so why bring that up at all? You might as well say that it is not a watermelon. Factually accurate, but not pertinent to your comparison.

This is good for nokia because nokia will make an even better camera on their next mobile phone

Hatin just because HTC actually incorporated a brilliant design, build quality, camera and sound. Rare combo pureviews all camera phone after thought. Htc complete product we'll let the comparisons prove it.
42. wizzardtech (Posts: 59; Member since: 12 Mar 2012)
You people are missing a point here. This is not about just the camera alone. If someone admits that the pureview or lumia 920 camera is the best then how come it didnt really succeed? Are you buying a phone for just a camera alone? Lumia 920 sales are not really impressive or pureview808 which some people havent heard of it yet. With smartphones you have to consider everything. Design, experience, marketing, Build quality etc. People are bashing iphones or galaxy s3 but still they can sell millions
and for the Manufacturers those are the thing that matters.
44. buccob (Posts: 2566; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
At the end of the day, HTC is coupling the camera with Android... and Nokia is windows, and that alone will turn the scales to HTC...
How come there are so many Nokia fans in every news site, in every article... but not backing up sales...?
46. Android4u (Posts: 456; Member since: 16 Aug 2012)
Because bro hardly anybody likes windows and Nokia? Seriously...that should let you know why their sales haven't been good.. bring on the thumbs down you Nokia fanboys...
51. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
I also think ....and many, many ppl overlook this.... it might not be so much tha ppl dont like Windows Phone or Nokia...but other options are just good. Not saying other options are better, but just good in their own right.
Many ppl like the iPhone and Android. At the end of the day....they're both good. It is what it is. If either one sucked tremendously...WP woulda big a bigger hit by now. WP might pick up steam and grow some more in the next 2 years...but MS is running outta time for trying to get the 1 or 2 spot. They might have to settle on 3 or 4.

Come To The Facts !
Sensor Size:
Nokia 808: 1/1.2" / HTC One: 1/3"
Pixel Size:
Nokia 808 (In Mode PureView): 8 MP (3.07 Microns) / 5 Megapixels (3.91 Microns) / 3 MP (4.89 Microns) / HTC One: 2 Microns
Nokia 808: Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar / HTC One: Largan Precision
Nokia 808: Xenon (3rd Generation) / HTC One: LED (2rd Generation) !
808 PureView Is Infinitely Better Than The HTC One !
HTC One No Doubt Has An Interesting Camera, But It's Better Than Only The Mediocre iPhone 5, Razr HD, Optimus G, Nexus 4 And Xperia Z !!!

Nice job dude. Could you also make a sheet comparison with lumia 920?
56. cam-whore (Posts: 164; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
haha, htc just cant accept the facts. I remembered at this exact same event last year on the MWC, htc ceo announced on the same stage where Elop also was, that they had a 16mp crapcamphone, in an attempt to take away the crown from the then camphone king the n8. Elop was not even reacting. Turns out even their 16mp cam technology cant beat a 12mp n8. Then the very next day, nokia announces the pv808. Yes, everyone knew what happened then.

Wasn't Nokia the one who got busted trying to act like a commercial was filmed with their phone but actually was a professional video camera?

LeaAnn Cannon's curator insight, November 25, 2015 4:29 PM
Technology is everywhere, even in therapy sessions. Knowing which apps are top rated can be very beneficial to therapy sessions. Children are all about technology, and finding a way to incorporate technology in therapy sessions can help engage clients.
LeaAnn Cannon's curator insight, November 24, 2015 5:03 PM
This is a good source to use because it is from ASHA, the American Speech Language Hearing Association. The article outlines sevreal reasons why a child may revert in social situations, after seemingly making progress in therapy. One reason offered is techniques are too hard to use in situations outside therapy. A second reason offered is children may think that techniques make them sound weird. Children want to fit in with their peers, not stand out. A third reason offered is the techniques are too costly. The effort the child puts into the technique may outweigh the benefit.
LeaAnn Cannon's curator insight, November 25, 2015 4:27 PM

Cracked's Dan O'Brien to Host Late Night?
Well, not yet, anyway, but I think should focus all of our efforts on making that happen. In case you didn't know, Late Night's Conan O'Brien will be leaving in 2009 to take over for grinning chin-monster Jay Leno as host of The Tonight Show, and the race to fins his replacement is on. According to this article, the frontrunner is the totally relevant and always professional Jimmy Fallon. Really, Fallon's a terrific choice. Remember that time he giggled his way through six seasons of SNL? What about all those great characters he created, (that guy who really like Noma, or the guy who often folded shirts, or the annoying asshole who kept laughing during skits)? And who could forget his illustrious film career which includes new classics like Taxi, an action comedy that teamed Fallon with a sassy, talking car that solved mysteries, (if you've ever seen Taxi, you are now well aware that I have not)? Also, Fever Pitch. Jimmy Fallon has truly earned the Late Night desk.
I should host Late Night. I'm an astoundingly perfect candidate, it's ridiculous. The similarities between Conan and I are really staggering: We have the same last name, (O'Brien), he was a relatively obscure writer before hosting, I'm a relatively obscure writer right now, there was a lot of uproar and controversy when he was named host, I'm wanted in six states and I'm not legally allowed within ten feet of any Taco Bell, etc. There are other similarities. I won't bore you with the details now, but the punch line is that I should host that god damned show.
Come on, Whoever-the-hell-is-in-charge-of-making-this-decision, I'm such an obvious choice it's sickening. I'm young, charismatic and charming: I'm like a black Barack Obama.
Also like Barack Obama, I can't do this without the support of great people all across the country. (Also Barack isn't allowed in Taco Bell.) So, Cracked Readers, I'm going to ask that we shift our efforts away from destroying Hannah Montana right now. That's not to say that we haven't made great progress on the Hannah Montana front- we have. For better or worse, Cracked Commenters, you crazy motherfuckers know how to get things done. In just a few months, we've contributed hundreds of Mabisms and gotten Montana's Biographicon locked. Just go ahead and search around the internet for a while and you will see anti-Montana sentiments sprouting up. Hell, in the April 18th issue of Esquire, real-live-author Chuck Klosterman even mentions Montana, what she represents, and why she might be dangerous for America.
Folks, We have started something.
I want you heroes to channel the energy you focused on creating and spreading this Hannah Montana Phenomenon, ("Phenomenontana?"), and put it into this new, incredibly important mission:
Getting me hired as the new host of Late Night.
How? Great question, You. Included in this blog post is a letter I have actually sent out to NBC, Lorne Michaels, Conan and several dozen random addresses.
I need your help, warriors. Send out similar letters. Make fliers. Somebody head over to my Biographicon page and add something about me being the new frontrunner for the Late Night desk. Has anyone told Lorne Michaels how great I look in a suit? If you get the chance, tell Lorne Michaels how great I look in a suit. (Very.) Does anyone work for Time magazine or, alternatively, any newspaper or magazine? Spread the word. Make T-Shirts. Bumper stickers. Post about it in your blog. Hit NBC.com and various messageboards. Start petitions. Punch jerks, right in their faces, (I think the message will be clear). Go to it and post your results in the comments.
Why should you help me? Another terrific question. Because, Ladies and Gentlemen, I never forget a favor. If I get this job, I will not forget your heroic work. Want free tickets to the show whenever you're in town? They're yours. Do you play a musical instrument? Congratulations, you just joined the new Late Night House Band. Do you want me to get Hannah Montana booked on the show just so I can tell her she was an accident and stick gum in her hair? Way a-fucking-head of you.
You people- the readers and commenters- you are the internet, as far as I'm concerned, (mostly because Im not entirely sure what they internet actually is). If anyone can take a simple, small-town former-street-vigilante-turned-Jesus-Christ-of-Boning and bring him all the way up to Late Night, it's you folks.
Let's make this happen.
For my part, here are some other letters I've sent out:
"Dear Conan,
What's up? NM here. Hey, did you know that we were Name Buddies? We are! (Name Buddies!) I heard you were heading over to The Tonight Show. Congrats. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Just figured I'd throw my hat into the ring for your replacement. (Name Buddies.)
Hey, did you hear that Jimmy Fallon once called you a "cross between a clown-transsexual and Powder" (from the movie Powder)? That's what I heard Jimmy Fallon said. I don't agree with it, but Jimmy Fallon said it. Also he giggled while he said it.
Just letting you know.
Hugs and Kisses, Stars and Wishes,

The Flasc Double Threaded Paintball barrel is designed to be the ultimate barrel for complete customization! The main feature is the barrels double threading on both the front and the back of the barrel so that the barrel can accept multiple tips and extensions for near endless customization options.
If you want a particular length you can simply add on one of the extensions (which works much like a front in a traditional barrel kit) to get your desired length.
All extensions are double threaded as well which means you can still put a barrel tip on the front of an extension, or even more extensions! The Logo is added underneath the threading. We know how annoying it can be to have a beautifully set up tactical marker and have a nice big white mark on the barrel to hurt the look, so Flasc made it so that once the barrel is screwed into the marker the logo is not visible and protected! These Bore Sizing Barrels come in seven bore sizes: .678, .681, .684, .687, .690, .693, .693
Please wait, your items are being added to the cart...

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case of a James Island couple seeking to overturn a ruling that returned their adopted daughter to her biological father under the federal Indian Child Welfare Act.
The case involving 3-year-old Veronica is one of three the high court chose to take up after meeting in conference Friday to review some 30 petitions for hearings, according to the Supreme Court of the United States blog.
An attorney for Matt and Melanie Capobianco filed their 142-page petition with the high court in October, arguing that the justices should accept the case to settle uncertainty over how the 1978 act should be interpreted.
Through a family spokeswoman, the Capobiancos said, "We are so incredibly excited that the U.S. Supreme Court has accepted our case. We have a renewed sense of faith in our legal system and a renewed sense of hope that Veronica will be able to come home."
Mark Fiddler, a Minnesota lawyer working on the Capobiancos' behalf, called the court's decision significant and said his clients are thrilled to continue their quest to get Veronica back.
Charleston lawyer Shannon Jones, who represents Veronica's biological father, Dusten Brown, said her client and his family were disappointed to learn that the case was going forward. But they take heart in knowing that Brown's custody of Veronica has been upheld by every court so far, she said.
"We are confident the U.S. Supreme Court will come to the same conclusion," Jones said.
Jones said the high court hearing could take place as soon as April.
The Capobiancos have not seen Veronica since a family court ruling relinquished the girl to her father on New Year's Eve of 2011.
The S.C. Supreme Court in July upheld Veronica's return to her biological father in Oklahoma. Her father, a member of the Cherokee Nation, successfully challenged the adoption using the Indian Child Welfare Act, a federal law aimed at preserving American Indian families.
The federal law has been reviewed only once at the highest level. In 1989, Justice William Brennan sided with Mississippi's Choctaw tribe, which challenged an adoption of twins.
"At issue in the (Veronica) case is the definition of 'parent' under the federal law, including whether that includes an unwed father who only belatedly claimed parental rights," the Supreme Court blog stated.
Cherokee Nation Attorney General Todd Hembree released a statement Friday night expressing surprise that the court decided to hear this case.
"The South Carolina Supreme Court completely addressed all aspects of the Indian Child Welfare Act, and we believe their decision was correct," Hembree said. "This is a matter that is of utmost importance to all of Indian Country. Our children are our future, and the Cherokee Nation stands ready to defend the rights of Native American children to be raised in Native American homes."
Before Veronica was born in September 2009 in Oklahoma, her biological parents canceled their engagement and went separate ways. The Capobiancos met Veronica's mother through an adoption agency and adopted the baby at birth.
Brown sought custody of the girl after learning of the adoption in January 2010.
Though Brown did not support the girl's mother during pregnancy, his rights as a parent should not be stripped, the S.C. Supreme Court confirmed in its July ruling.
Since her return to Oklahoma, Veronica has been given the name "Little Star" by the Cherokee and has attended stomp dances and other Native American rituals with her father and others to introduce her to her culture, Jones said.
Brown recently married, and Veronica is in a new home where she is thriving, she said.
This October 2011 photo provided by Melanie Capobianco shows her adoptive daughter Veronica trick-or-treating in Charleston. The child has been the focus of a custody battle between her adoptive parents and her birth father. The adoption case involving little Veronica is one pitting the South Carolina couple who nurtured her since birth against her biological father who was recently awarded custody of the 2-year-old child and took her to Oklahoma.

PETERSBURG - The Center for Rural and Community Health of the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine is offering free training in Petersburg to become a Community Health Education Resource Person.
With this training program, you can:
"A Community Health Education Resource Person is a trained community member who provides health information and support to other community members who need help," said Wayne Miller, program director of the WVSOM Center for Rural and Community Health.
"Once trained, these individuals can answer basic questions about health, disease, nutrition, physical activity and health behaviors," he said. "These community health workers are then available as a resource to the community. Because these individuals live among the residents they serve, they may be able to assist individuals in need more readily than other health care providers or allied health
Level 1: Wellness training sessions will be offered at the following times. All four sessions must be attended in order to complete the training:
Sessions will take place at the Grant County Public Library, 18 Mountain View St., Petersburg.
Training is open to all individuals, 18 and older, and no previous health care experience is required.

Apple iPad mini ReviewApple iPad mini 8.5
Continuing to be a standard practice, there's nothing new with the tablet's camera interface, as it relies on the same exact UI from before. Certainly, we appreciate its uncluttered layout and lightning quick snapshot speed, but hardcore camera buffs will be appalled by its lack of manual seeing and shooting modes. Basically, the camera interface is predominantly taken up by its viewfinder – with only the option to add a grid under its settings.
In general, we have to admit that the iPad mini's 5-megapixel auto-focus camera is able to produce some pleasant shots with its quality – especially for a tablet. However, it's still obvious that it's nowhere close to the quality put out by some of the smartphone elites out there. As long as there's sufficient lighting, it produces shots that have a good balance between details, colors, and exposure. With shots taken in lower lighting situations, many of its deficiencies become more noticeable – like its softer details and heavier presence of noise.
Sample images taken with the Apple iPad mini

Thankfully, there's also a lot to like about its 1080p video recording quality too, as it proves more than usable for variety of settings. Yet again, we're seeing a very balanced performance with this one! As long as there's sufficient amount of lighting, its quality is filled with average details, smooth 29 frames per second recording, gradual exposure, and clear audio recording.
Apple iPad mini Sample Video:
Donning the same music interface we've been familiar for some time with the iPad, there's nothing terribly different with this one on the iPad mini. Compared to other newer things, it's conventional looking by today's standards, but we're at least thankful for being practical in getting the job done listening to music. Interestingly enough, we find its audio quality to be above-average compared to other things we've seen of late. Aside from the powerful output heard with its stereo speakers, its tone is evidently powerful with minimal distortion.
Putting our attention on its Photo App to view stored content, it doesn't break the mold in the very bit, since we're given a few editing functions and the usual sharing opportunities via Facebook, Twitter, email, text messaging.
Despite having limited codec support out of the box, the iPad mini proves its usefulness in running high-definition videos. Looking down on it, the display is pleasant enough to view, despite its lower resolution, since it delivers a smooth playback to keep our interest affixed on it.
Making it well known, the experience doesn't deviate from what we've seen already with the 9.7-inch iPads. Love it or hate it, the Apple Maps experience is once again witnessed on the iPad mini, giving us cool things like voice guided turn-by-turn directions and 3D maps with specific locations. However, it undoubtedly requires some additional refinements to make it a venerable substitution to other things we've experienced – like having transit directions. When it comes to reading, the iPad mini offers a palm rejection feature with most of its native apps, which eliminates the hassle of seeing unexplained things.
Moving past all of its native features, there's no arguing that the platform is packing plenty of tablet-optimized apps, which aids it to keep it in good light with the company. In fact, iOS is filled from head-to-toe with a healthy lineup of third part apps, which of course, helps to increase its visibility amongst hungry tablet users.

Nexus 10 is not even in the same ball park as the iPad 4. iPad 4 from a benchmark perspective sends the Nexus 10 home crying, limping and begging for mercy.
39. Izzy_V (Posts: 216; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
You might have learned something about the results of those benchmarks if you had scrolled down and read the comments. It's very likely the N10 that was tested was either not the final product or wasn't optimized correctly, or both. Results on paper differ from results of real-world application if you didn't know. This is further proved by the SGS2's performance in one of the benchmarks which put it above several flagships.

this thing got 8.5 on the review...for what? Looking pretty...I mean its a superficial product but the rating shouldn't have been above 7
30. GTR722 (Posts: 261; Member since: 20 Oct 2012)
Sad "tech journalist" we have this days......so this thing wins over nexus 7 because...its pretty ??..display resolution is sub-par, no GPS, no NFC, not even a quad-core processor, and only 512 MB RAM...and yet above the other more capable tablets ??? I wonder how many $$$ apple spend in all these sites....
2. Birds (Posts: 1157; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
I'm not really surprised it got a score that high. Overall, it is still an impressive tablet, considering it's a refresh of the iPad 2. I mean I still think it's over priced and I still think that the Nexus 7 is a better deal, for a variety of reasons, but the iPad Mini will sell (Mainly because it is made by apple) and Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Barnes & Nobles ECT will have some stiff competition.

ipad mini w/low resolution but still beats nexus 7 and kindle fire hd,and if apple continues to make mini 2 or what ever,still will crush those 7 inch tablets next year.
14. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
So what makes this better than the Nexus 7 other than a rear camera? You can take your iPad Mini but I'll get much more out of a $199 16GB Nexus.

Anything above a 6/6.5 is being too generous. The same thing over and over again and for a reason (or lack thereof) PA reviewers keep giving apple's trash high ratings and bad ratings to other devices that are more than worthy of 9 ratings if not higher.
Also, I know I posted a comment before but the applearena staff must have deleted it. Hardly any of the sheepple's comments are being moderated and they're letting some of their alts. cause more and more trouble. Come on applearena staff, don't make it blatantly obvious that you favor them.

An 8.5/10. Ha. Not surprised. It distant reserve anything over a 8. iOS 6 isn't different from iOS 5, recycled specs, and a $330 price point is what stops many people from buying it.
Way to go Apple, you released a product just to see if people will buy it.

18. twens (Posts: 978; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
8.5? Phone arena, you forgot to mention that,the iPad mini like all apple products despite being responsive can not do the following basic mobile needs.
1: no file manager or file transfer between a PC without the use of iTunes
2: safari can't download or even upload files in 2012?????
3: no Bluetooth file transfer with other Bluetooth devices????
4: no NFC????
5: no true multitasking????
6: no form of customization????
7: individual mp3 songs cant be uploaded or send through whatsapp
8: the entire OS realise heavily on third party apps to make the phone functional.
All this flaws and yet you guys never mention them when reviewing an apple device???
I have people who have actually returned their apple products simple because it doesn't support Bluetooth file transfer. Don't you think its time you educate people about the basic missing features in IOS rather than always focusing on responsiveness?

21. sonisoe (Posts: 411; Member since: 06 May 2009)
I think apple is being careful, the screen isnt retina display, cos they dont want people switching to the mini with a lower profit margin.... I just hope at least apple put in the a6 processor instead of a5. i have an ipad2 which u know is installed with the a5, and it lags or unresponsive at times.
22. yougotkilled1 (Posts: 167; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
The price should be a con too. I would much much rather buy a nexus 7 for 200$ with a quad core than this with an old A5 chip....
23. Evil_SaNz (Posts: 259; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
How much did they pay the reviewers? A smaller ipad 2 with worse screen 8.5...We're in 2012! Should get 8.5 maybe a year ago, today it's a plain 7.
25. MorePhonesThanNeeded (Posts: 645; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
"Factoring in its hardware specs and all, it would lead anyone to believe that this latest iPad is rather over-bloated at $330, which is still seen as a considerable investment over other highly prized tablets. Despite the less-than-stellar hardware in tow with this one, its unbelievable construction is proof enough to make us believe that its price point is every bit warranted. Looking at it, there's no doubt that plenty of love was placed into the design of the Pad mini!"
Lol, now all of a sudden construction of the device warrants the bloated price? You sir are an enabler, basically telling people it's great to indulge in this stupid farce. Lowest resolution of the best 7" pads out there, old CPU and half the amount of RAM. Yet you marvel at how it can run and do so much, with a dimunitive OS which is basically an app launcher what the hell, the processor isn't actually doing anything else so it can afford to run games. But you praise the iPhone for retina display, this things display is comical at best. You biased and ridiculous reporters are terrible, you turn a con into something less than. Typing on the screen is a bit hard, but oh in landscape mode we find ourselves typing faster as our hand could easily reach across the entire screen...wtf? Logic dictates this is a give you malcontents. The system stutters when playing games, the lack of support for the popular codecs yet they go on to say the video played smooth enough and kept our attention. Speakers have minimal distortion, means it distorts don't crank it to max.
This review reads like a sales pitch, every con is met with oh it's not that bad and then comes the kicker, you justify the price tag with build of the device? You guys are the worst, a bunch of cons and I see one on the review score of 8.5. The reviewer buffed out all those other cons and was left with one he couldn't buff out. Disgusting writing if you ask me, deceptive tactic used to sell products. Can't wait to see the comparison reviews, that should be a hoot.

Anyone think it's interesting that the IPad Mini supports Siri and you can't even get it on the IPad 2 and it's basically the same stinking hardware. Apple is full of it with that one.
33. nwright94 (unregistered)
I think it's because the iPad mini has audience noise canceling technology and the iPad 2 doesn't meaning Siri would listen on for forever.
29. yingcong6 (Posts: 22; Member since: 09 Feb 2012)
There is one more con:"price", so it's at most 8 points
32. nwright94 (unregistered)
I have an iPad 3 and love it but for $300 I'm getting the nexus 7 32gb with hspa+ while saving $30. Get NFC and a higher resolution display. I'm positive the iPad mini will give a great user experience, but for $30 cheaper you can get much more. The main downside to picking the nexus 7 though is the tablet app selection is severely lacking but hopefully that will change.
35. steveedojob (Posts: 1; Member since: 06 Nov 2012)
8.5 for the smaller Ipad 2???? Sure this reviewer from Phonearena is the Apple fans like Eldar Murtazin from Mobile-review. Nice design??? All apple design look the same nothing special...You all know why all Apple product for example cannot directly transfer photo etc via bluetooth to PC or other product other than Apple product??? Because Steve Jobs want a monopoly, buy Apple product don't buy other product so you can transfer file easyly. Wakaka.
36. bensch (Posts: 7; Member since: 06 Nov 2012)
It is highly interesting when people comment on Apple products, specifically this year. Some claim they are extremely good, innovative, others say they are nothing special compared to Android devices. The truth about Apple devices, and in this case the iPad mini, is that Apple has a market on its own, which is what makes them so successful. Their success is not completely fan-base; they do in fact offer very good products with an outstanding build quality and a very user-friendly UI/OS. This applies to their computers as well as mobile devices. When buying an apple product you get two things: build quality and reliability. Of course this comes at a very high price (in this specific case, an unreasonably high price). Android devices should not be compared with Apple's. There are tens of brands running Android, and that is where comparisons should be made, between those devices. Apple's devices should not compete in the same league, thus we should not get so upset. Apple and Android based devices are not competing for the same market. If you are a geek and enjoy customization go for android, if you are a show off who simply enjoys browsing the internet, checking stocks and become part of the Apple community, buy Apple.
The iPad mini, though, is slightly different. With the iPad mini Apple decided to enter a market which Apple has not yet set a standard upon with previous models. Whereas in the case of the iPad and the iPhone, previous models have set a certain standard in the mobile world. The iPad mini attempts to challenge the 7 inch market, which is a market completely owned by Android so far. Apple is stepping out of its territory, and that is something I do not approve. The advantages of the iPads have always been the screen size/colour reproduction, the GPU and the usability. Prices have always been very high compared to the "competition". With the iPad mini Apple is offering nothing special in terms of specs. They don't offer a good screen, and in terms of prices they have truly exaggerated. The build quality cannot serve as an excuse because Android devices in the 7 inch reign have already shown off some very good aluminium bodies and gorilla glass surfaces paired with HD screens.
Bottom line: there is a reason Jobs did not want to enter the 7 inch market, and that is because he believed Apple had no chance of entering such market successfully.

Overall performance. You guys didnt test the damn thing whatsoever then. Just playing with the Ipad Mini at my Local walmart steered me away from it. Downloaded a Racing game and it was just as slow as my old HTC Inspire. Only thing it performs normal in is low resolution games, and browsing the internet. I wanted a Ipad so bad for a tablet and the Mini would of done so fine, but I was drawn back by horrible display, the walmart lighting had that thing hard to stare at. Horrible proccessing power, High price point. Turned to the Nexus 7 and will never look back!

Cons need more:
-Old hardware (not for furture)
-No micro SD
-High price for the performance
so it cannot be 8.5 point

3 Reasons You Shouldn't Play the Best Video Game of the Year
#2. The Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very-Bad User Interfaces
Ubisoft are both the developers and publishers of Far Cry 3.
If you have any experience with PC gaming, that's enough for you. You are out of this bitch. This whole thing should have been one sentence long: "Ubisoft made it." Then I could drop the metaphorical mic and leave the house reeling, and you could all go about your business. If you're a console gamer, this doesn't affect you at all, but I'm going to give everybody this warning anyway, on the off chance that there's somebody else in the world like me: an impulsive asshole that throws three wadded up $20s at my screen at the first hint that I might be able to ride a Cassowary. (Sad note: You can't. You can only stab them; stab them with tears in your eyes.)
I'm sorry. In another world, I could have called you ... friend.
Ubisoft makes this game, and they have fucked up the back-end like they always do. Their own brand of always-on DRM, Uplay, permeates Far Cry 3. Which means that, if you buy the game through a service that is, itself, essentially pure DRM -- like, oh, say, the largest digital game delivery system in existence -- you get to eat an entire layer-cake of frustration every time you boot up the game. Starting up Far Cry 3 through Steam is like throwing an Inception-themed orgy: Everybody's not only fucking you, but also each other, and themselves, locked forever in an eternal cycle of meta-boning.
I'm not very fond of the DRM they've implemented, is what I'm saying.
And once you do get into the game, you have to deal with another wholly-botched user interface: the heads-up display in Far Cry 3 looks like your grandpa tried to open a porn site. Just pop-up after inexplicable pop-up, cluttering the screen so badly that you literally didn't see the tiger that just ate you, because the game thought it was more important that you saw how many plants you have left to collect while simultaneously reminding you about the crafting tutorial for the 50th time.
"Hey! Looks like you're getting shot! Press 'start' to view the 'getting shot' tutorial! In a nutshell, it goes like this: try not to get shot so much!"
But all of those problems pale in comparison to the big one: Far Cry 3 is an open-world action RPG with a linear save system. Open-world games are about freedom and exploration. Role-playing games are about immersion. Both of those things are irrevocably broken by a checkpoint-only save system. Speaking generally, the inability to save on the fly does nothing to affect difficulty, unless the entire point of the game is the challenge of repetition, like in Mirror's Edge or Dark Souls. But if repetition isn't the point -- if the point is the aforementioned exploration or immersion -- then being thrown back to an arbitrary save-point every time you die, abandon a quest, or shut the game off only serves to discourage good ol'-fashioned fuckin' around. This, combined with your extremely limited save slots, creates an atmosphere that greatly discourages experimentation in a game where the single strongest point is the excellent freestyle murder system.
I'm telling you, Olympics 2014...
An example: you're in the middle of taking over a pirate fortress. You've got a man in your scopes, but don't think you can take them all on, once you pull that trigger. Suddenly, you notice movement in the bushes. A tiger! He doesn't see the pirates. Maybe you could snipe the tiger -- just graze him a little, piss him off -- and he would storm in and start wrecking some pirate booty. Wouldn't that be awesome? It would! But man, when was the last time you saw that tiny white "Save" icon flash up? Could've been a minute ago. Could've been two hours. There's no telling when your last checkpoint was. Better play it safe this time. So you end up ignoring the tiger to snipe and hide, snipe and hide, as usual. Hey, it works.
And somewhere, that tiger is sulking off into the jungle with a broken heart; somewhere, a monster truck just got a flat tire; somewhere in the world, Slash just forgot a guitar solo -- all because you took a little bit of awesome out of this world with your bullshit back-end, Ubisoft.
#1. And One Very Good Reason You Should
It's a crazy amount of fun.
That's it. That's all the good I have to say about Far Cry 3. But isn't that why you buy games? If you can look past the shortcomings, and there are many, Far Cry 3 is a goddamn riot. Here, look at this sample gif of some game play:
Holy shit, that's like everything you wanted to do in a video game, isn't it? Ah, but it's probably bullshit. It's a Quicktime Event or something. They always turn out to be, don't they? It never feels as cool, while you're doing it, as it looks in the promos. We've all been burned by games promising that we can use our skills to go full Die-Hard on a motherfucker, only to find the reality is just "press A to Die-Hard for a minute."
That's not to say FC3 lacks the industry-mandated quota of bullshit QTEs...
But Far Cry 3 uses a great immersion trick, in that it makes you "earn" and "unlock" the ability to use petty skills that would be available from the start in any other combat game. The ability to "cook" grenades, for example -- to hold them for a second so they detonate earlier -- is one of the first skills you have to earn. The ability to slide a little bit is another one. The ability to kill from above, or below. It sounds like a pain in the ass, but in practice, it really works to slowly familiarize yourself with your chosen brand of awesomeness, so that you actually pull off stuff in-game that rivals that gif up there. They may all be actions you could accomplish in other games, but you were never slowly trained to put them all together in the coolest possible configuration, like you are here. When Far Cry 3 pulls that trick off, it makes you feel like you developed into the biggest badass in gaming, rather than starting out as one and failing hilariously to live up to the reputation.
So, yes, the intellectual part of me can be found just a few paragraphs up, bitching about racial sensitivity. But you know what? Fuck that guy. The crazy drunken murderer in me is way more fun and likable, and he's down here saying this one and simple truth: in Far Cry 3, you can hang-glide from a distant cliff-face out into the jungle, drop from 50 feet up in the air, and knife a bear in the face as you land on him.
I don't know about you, but to me, that's right up there with whiskey-and-a-python night.

The amount of water used by your cooling misters will depend on a number of factors including the type of nozzle, number of nozzles, and frequency of use. Most residential systems include nozzles that consume between a 0.5 gal and 1.5 gal of water per hour. Nozzle flow rates may also vary depending on your home's water pressure. In general, a lower nozzle flow rate and higher water pressure will create better evaporation rates and cooling. To get an idea of how much water your system will use in a day, just multiply the nozzle flow rate by the number of nozzles by the number of hours you operate the misters. For example, if you have 5 nozzles that each operates at 0.5 gal/hr for 4 hours each day, your water use would be 10 gal/day. See below:

Soup, crackers, applesauce, beef jerky, coffee, baby food, cake mixes, charcoal and non-perishable items galore
People came from all over, battling traffic and long lines, to take part in the clearance sale that started this morning at the Piggly Wiggly warehouse in Jedburg.
I have enough applesauce for probably a year and it doesnt expire until June of next year! said shopper Sharron Sommerfeldt.
Store items have been discounted to up to 70 percent off and the sale continues through June 21 but only while supply lasts. Already on social media people are reporting the warehouse is nearly wiped clean.
Christy Boudolf, senior director of marketing and advertising with Piggly Wiggly Carolina, said early today that the warehouse was very limited with items and would likely be closing early. It will not be open Saturday.
On Thursday Boudolf said the warehouse sale made a big dent in a mere three hours; there were folks lined up early before the sale started at 10 a.m.
The turnout was larger than we had expected, she said.
Up to a mile of traffic piled up on Old Dairy Road and Newton Way, leading up to the warehouse. People were reportedly in line outside the warehouse for up to two hours, and were being let inside as buggies and carts became available for shopping.
By noon Boudolf estimated they had seen more than 500 shoppers.
Despite the lengthy wait people endured to get inside the building, Boudolf said things went smoothly.
Everybody has been patient, calm and things have been very orderly, she said.
Item options include groceries, cleaning supplies, general merchandise, health and beauty, frozen foods and cigarettes. All sales are final and the warehouse will not hold any items. Shoppers can pay with credit cards, debit cards and cash no checks, EBT or WIC will be accepted.
Boudolf said the first things they sold out on were bath tissue and paper towels.
When its gone, its gone, Boudolf said. Theres no replenishments.

September 06, 2013
WASHINGTON — In recognition of September as Suicide Prevention Month, the Department of Veterans Affairs is mobilizing people and organizations nationwide to support Veterans in crisis and spread the word about VA mental health services.
Throughout the month, VA suicide prevention coordinators at all 151 VA medical centers will organize community events, host health fairs, lead training sessions and work with VA Voluntary Service to improve Veterans' lives. VA is also launching a new Suicide Prevention Month public service announcement, "Talking About It Matters" nationwide in September.
"VA's highest priority is the mental health and well-being of the brave men and women who have served our Nation. Even one suicide is one too many," said Secretary of Veterans Affairs Eric K. Shinseki. "va is a leader in providing high-quality mental health care that improves and saves Veterans' lives. We know that treatment works, and there is hope for Veterans who seek mental health care."
This year's theme, "It Matters," emphasizes the people, relationships and experiences that matter to Veterans and their loved ones, reinforcing their personal connections and giving their lives hope and meaning. To spark conversation about the difficult topics of suicide risk and prevention, VA will unveil a photo-sharing campaign, "Show Us What Matters," and will invite Veterans and their loved ones to upload photos of the special people in their lives to VeteransCrisisLine.net/ItMatters.
"When a Veteran is in crisis, even one small act can make a lifesaving difference," said Dr. Robert A. Petzel, VA's Under Secretary for Health. "It's up to all of us to understand the signs of crisis and look out for the Veterans in our lives. And when we are concerned, we need to reach out and tell someone."
Throughout the summer and through September, VA is holding Mental Health Summits at all 151 VA medical centers to further engage community partners, Veteran Service Organizations, health care providers and local governments, and to address the broad mental health needs of Veterans and their families and show them they matter. VA is calling on supporters to educate their networks to recognize suicide warning signs and encourage Veterans in crisis to call the Veterans Crisis Line (1-800-273-8255 and Press 1), chat online at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat or text to 838255 – even if they are not registered with VA or enrolled in VA health care. All Veterans Crisis Line resources are optimized for mobile devices.
"We urge Veterans' loved ones—and everyone—to show support for Veterans during Suicide Prevention Month and throughout the year," said Dr. Janet Kemp, director of VA's Suicide Prevention Program. "Learn to recognize the risk of suicide and let Veterans know that caring, confidential support is only a call, click or text away. Families, friends and co-workers need to work together to provide a network of support for Veterans in our communities. We're all in this together."
Anyone can support Veterans by:
VA has implemented comprehensive, wide-ranging suicide prevention initiatives, including a toll-free Veterans Crisis Line, placement of Suicide Prevention Coordinators at all VA medical centers and large outpatient facilities, and improvements in case management and reporting. The Veterans Crisis Line, online chat and text-messaging services offer free, confidential support, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, to Veterans, their families and friends.
Veterans, or anyone concerned about a Veteran, can call 1-800-273-8255 and Press 1, chat online at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat or text to 838255 to receive support—even if they are not registered with VA or enrolled in VA health care. All Veterans Crisis Line resources are optimized for mobile devices.
Since 2007, the Veterans Crisis Line has answered more than 890,000 calls and made more than 30,000 lifesaving rescues. In 2009, the Veterans Crisis Line added the anonymous chat service, which has had more than 108,000 chats.
To further expand access to quality mental health care, VA has hired over 1,600 mental health clinical providers to meet the goal outlined in an executive order. Additionally, VA has hired over 2,005 mental health clinical providers to fill existing vacancies.
VA's mental health workforce totals nearly 20,300. In fiscal year 2012, VA provided specialized mental health care to more than 1.3 million Veterans. The department has an aggressive recruiting campaign underway among mental health specialists to ensure Veterans continue to receive the best mental health care anywhere.

Fresh off Mount Pleasant's move to forbid texting while driving, Charleston is poised to consider a ban of its own.
City Council on Wednesday will have first consideration of an ordinance prohibiting drivers from using e-devices behind the wheel. It would cover any form of texting, reading of texts, e-mailing or typing.
The fine for violators is set at $100 plus court costs. Simply talking on a cell phone is not being targeted.
Mayor Joe Riley said the timing is right for the city to join the growing list of municipal governments with similar crackdowns.
"Our legal department has been working on a texting ban for quite some time," Riley said. "About a month ago I asked them to get it into final form. I think it's very important and hope that we can get it passed."
But just because the ordinance is being scheduled for discussion doesn't mean it's automatically certain to become part of the city code.
Councilman Bill Moody, chairman of the Traffic and Transportation Committee that will have the first review of the proposal, said he welcomed the debate and would schedule a public hearing on the idea. But he added that as written, he is not a supporter.
"I'm kind of lukewarm as far as the whole thing is concerned," he said, pointing to still unsettled questions on how police would enforce it or determine probable cause. "I'll call for the public hearing but I'm not giving my support for it at this point," he said.
City Police Chief Greg Mullen was unavailable for comment Friday. Deputy Chief Tony Elder also said enforcement details still need to be determined, based on what the final wording passed by council will say.
The two-page proposal says the ban would be in effect for any person in charge of a motor vehicle in motion on a public street or highway within the city limits. It also says that if the stopping officer has probable cause to believe a driver has violated the ordinance, he can subpoena the telephone records to support a case.
"The arresting officer or the defendant may admit as evidence, without providing a chain of custody, telephone number or texting information, or both, that are relevant to a violation," the wording says.
Listed exceptions include the operator of a motor vehicle that is lawfully parked or stopped, or a law enforcement officer, member of a fire department or the operator of a public or private ambulance who is the course of performing official duties. For violators, no driver's license penalty points would be assessed either.
Last week Mount Pleasant Town Council voted to make it illegal to text and drive, while still allowing motorists to talk on their hand-held phones.
Violators there would be subject to a $50 fine. If a traffic accident is involved, a driver could face an additional fine of up to $200.
A second favorable council vote is required before the ban on texting while driving becomes law. If the measure is approved, Mount Pleasant would become the first local municipality to ban texting while driving.
Under the provisions of the approved ordinance, law enforcement may not stop a person unless an officer has probable cause to believe that texting while driving is occurring based on a clear and unobstructed view.
Nearly a dozen municipalities, including Beaufort, Columbia, Sumter and Clemson, have passed their own texting-while-driving bans.

Board supports charter school funding reform
February 19, 2013
MUNCY — The Muncy School Board unanimously passed a resolution Monday night in support of reforming the state's cyber charter school funding formul....
By law, cyber and other charter schools cannot be reimbursed for spending on facilities acquisition, construction and improvement services, community/junior college programs, debt servicing and other items. As such, cyber school per-student spending is a 81% of what traditional public schools spend. Pennsylvania public schools spent during 2010-11, over $14,000 per student. Cyber schools spent about $11,500 per student. Public schools already retain funding for students they no longer have to educate. Which is an increase in funding from the community and State. Just another bunch of elected bureaucrats who have no ideas or designs on spending controls. This is more government force being applied to control the market of schooling, albeit not a free-market. A family has a choice to send the child to a brick and mortar public school or to a cyber/charter school. Those tax dollars should follow the child. Both are public schools.

I'm just curious to see how many of you got the flu shot vs. opted to NOT get the flu shot. Did you get the shot, and still got the flu? Did you not get the shot and not get the flu?
I didn't get the flu shot, and (knock on wood!) I haven't gotten the flu. I work for 2 more weeks, and then I'll be in the safety of my own home, so I'm hoping I lucked out and won't get sick before baby arrives.
I only know of a few people around the office who have gotten the flu, and all of them got their flu shot back in October!

Apache Qpid is a reliable, asynchronous messaging system that supports the AMQP messaging protocol in several common programming languages. Qpid is supported on most common platforms.
On the Java platform, Qpid uses the established Java JMS API.
For Python, C++, and .NET, Qpid defines its own messaging API, the Qpid Messaging API, which is conceptually similar in each.
On the .NET platform, Qpid also provides a WCF binding.
Ruby will also use the Qpid Messaging API, which will soon be implemented. (Ruby currently uses an API that is closely tied to the AMQP version).

A computer science technology alumnus and retired 39-year full-time employee at Pennsylvania College of Technology has established a scholarship to benefit information technology students at the college.
The H. David Kepner Scholarship has been established by David Kepner, who graduated from Penn College predecessor institution Williamsport Area Community College in 1970 with an associate degree in computer science technology. Kepner worked full time at the college from 1970 to 2009.
When he retired, Kepner was manager of networking and telecommunications. He now works part time at the college as a network and telephone technician.
"My degree from the college gave me the opportunity to enjoy a long and productive career," Kepner said. "The college treated me well, so I wanted to give that opportunity to other students.
"I definitely saw a lot of change in both technology and the campus itself during my years there. As a student, some of my classes were in historical homes near campus. We certainly have much nicer facilities now than we did when I was going to school. Seeing all of the changes over the years in the campus and the technology available to students certainly increases my pride in the college."
Kepner's annual scholarship gives primary preference to full-time students who demonstrate financial need and who are enrolled in one of the following majors - information technology: information assurance and security concentration; information technology: network specialist concentration; information technology sciences: gaming and simulation; software development and information management; information technology: technical support technology emphasis; or any newly offered information technology-related program.
Secondary preference will be given to students with a home residence in Lycoming County. Continuing students are eligible to receive additional awards from the Kepner scholarship, provided the recipient demonstrates academic performance and meets the award preferences.
Established as part of the Penn College Scholarship Campaign, the scholarship began granting awards in the Fall 2013 semester.
"Penn College was the beneficiary of the good work Dave performed during his long career here, and we are grateful to him for giving back to the college once again by establishing this scholarship," said Robb Dietrich, executive director of the Penn College Foundation. "His generosity speaks to the experience he had as both a student and as an employee, and of his desire to help others have a similar experience."
Kepner's wife, Linda, is also a Penn College retiree. They reside in Montoursville.

Osteoarthritis: Injections or Surgery
Osteoarthritis: Injections or Surgery
Injections or surgery may help if you have pain or movement problems that severely limit your activities. Your doctor can tell you more about these treatment options and their risks and complications.
Medication can be injected directly into the affected joint. These shots take a few minutes and are done in your doctor's office.
Corticosteroid injections may be useful for pain relief if you have swelling. This type of shot is safe to do 2 to 3 times a year. Because the shot masks pain, you must be careful not to overuse the joint.
Lubricant supplementation injections use a substance similar to one found naturally in the joint. It may help the joint work more smoothly. This type of shot is done only for osteoarthritis in the knees.
Options for surgery include:
Arthroscopy. The surgeon looks at and works inside the joint using special instruments inserted through very small incisions. The cartilage is smoothed, and any pieces of cartilage that have broken off are removed.
Osteotomy. This surgery changes the weight-bearing surface of the knee or hip joint. The bone and cartilage are aligned to take stress off the afflicted area.
Total joint replacement. The entire joint is removed and replaced with manmade joint components. This is most often done with the knee or hip joint.
