Modeling and Inventories
National Mobile Inventory Model (NMIM)
The National Mobile Inventory Model (NMIM) is a free, desktop computer application developed by EPA to help you develop estimates of current and future emission inventories for on-road motor vehicles and nonroad equipment. NMIM uses current versions of MOBILE6 and NONROAD to calculate emission inventories. Note, MOBILE6, used in NMIM, has been replaced by MOVES as EPA's official model for estimating emissions from cars, trucks and motorcycles. Thus, NMIM cannot be used for official modeling of these emissions.For Information about MOVES, including policy guidance on when it must be used for State Implementation Plans and transportation conformity determinations, click here.
Because of the large amount of computing necessary to calculate a national inventory, the NMIM model is designed to utilize multiple computers over a computer network. NMIM will also work on a single computer, but much more slowly. The installation instructions describe minimum system requirements and how to install the software. The installation process is the same regardless of whether you are installing NMIM to run on a single PC or to use it on multiple PCs on a network. If you plan to use a network, however, you must install the software separately on each PC.

Frank Rocco's family has become deeply entrenched in Virginia football.
All three of his sons - Frank Jr., Dan and David - are head coaches in Virginia. Frank Jr. and David are head coaches and athletic directors, respectively, at Liberty Christian Academy and The Covenant School.
Dan is the head coach at Richmond, which last week played Virginia, which is quarterbacked by Frank Jr.'s son, Michael.
Frank Sr., proud father and grandfather, watched from the stands and was moved to see his legacy splashed all over Scott Stadium.
"Very much so," he said between well-wishes earlier this week. "Saturday was really emotional, especially for my wife [Ann]. With both guys being on the field, to be able to experience that was really, really neat. When you've been to as many games and been involved as long as I have, I can put things in perspective. Knowing we couldn't do anything but let the game play out, I enjoyed it."
Rocco will have intermingled emotions again today when Penn State visits Virginia.
After spending three years as head coach at Altoona Area High School (1979-81), Rocco joined the Nittany Lions' football staff as an administrative assistant. He remained at Penn State in various capacities, including as an assistant coach in 1985, and spent most of his career as the Lions' director of football operations before retiring in 2000.
Though he'll obviously be rooting for the Cavaliers, Rocco, who lives in State College, still calls Penn State "we."
"No question about it," he said of his allegiance to the Nittany Lions (after this week). "We got a chance to watch the first half of Penn State's game last week, and when we left to go to the stadium, I was comfortable we were in good shape. When I heard the final score, I was really bummed out. And shocked."
Like all who have worked at, been associated with or followed Penn State, Rocco, who helped form the National Football Foundation's Central Pennsylvania chapter, was devastated by the Jerry Sandusky scandal and all of its incredible fallout.
"To have it [Penn State] all brought down is unthinkable," he said, "and we've got so far to go. It's been humbling and embarrassing and coming back is going to be tough -- and that's why I want Coach [Bill] O'Brien to do well and bring it back, but it's going to be a tough situation, I'm afraid."
Rocco was interviewed twice for the Freeh report, but said, "There was nothing I could tell them that was pertanent."
He declined to further discuss the matter.
"I've had calls from a lot of people, and I've refused to talk about it," he said. "Everybody involved in this is a friend of mine, and I do not want to comment. I've tried to stay out of it."
Frank Rocco Jr., the Lions' backup quarterback in the late 1970s and for the national championship team of 1982, said his mother and Dottie Sandusky have been close friends and part of a lunch group.
"It's all uncomfortable, but you want to be friends and supportive," Frank Jr. said. "It's complicated, and I know they've struggled getting their arms around the whole idea. I haven't been as close as I once was, but this rocked everyone's world -- no matter where you live."
Like his dad, Frank Jr. will be pulling for Penn State to overcome its enormous adversity -- starting with Navy's visit next Saturday.
"Obviously with my son on the other team, I won't be rooting for them this week," he said. "I rooted for them very hard against Ohio, and I'll be right back to it after this game -- especially now [after the scandal]. I've been very impressed with what I see with Coach O'Brien and how these players have held down the fort."
Frank Jr., from 1979-82, was involved in a PSU quarterback competition that was eventually won by Todd Blackledge and led to Jeff Hostetler's transfer to West Virginia. Rocco's son won the job last year as a sophomore at UVA, has now started 14 straight games and faces a future with a high ceiling.
"Back in my day -- we had the Blackledges and the Hostetlers," Frank Jr. said. "There's always those thoughts [for me] of 'what if, what if?' But it wasn't to be, and I'm very thankful my son has been able to hold off all challenges."
Today figures to a proud day for the Rocco family, win or lose, and one the family patriarch will especially enjoy. Frank Rocco Sr. has been in the Penn State football office and been around O'Brien a few times, but he didn't connect the dots, appropriately figuring the new coach had enough on his plate.
Rocco did promise O'Brien, "I won't be at another practice until after the Virginia game," he said, laughing. "I'm hoping by now he sees the significance."

Have you ever thought about your cellphone? I'm sure you do! Yes, it is a ubiquitous, pervasive electronic equipment that is around all the time and probably annoys you when it is missing or doesn't work. From a marketing standpoint, the cellphone creates opportunities for one-to-one marketing that no other piece of equipment ever will. The cellphone has several characteristics that promote one-to-one marketing. The first is that it is pervasive. Most people in America hold a cellphone today. In 2010, the cellphone has 96% penetration and 26.6% of all households are totally wireless (http://www.ctia.org/advocacy/research/index.cfm/aid/10323). The second is that it is highly personable. Cellphones are not created to be shared by multiple people, and are usually owned just by one individual. The third is that it is mobile – we carry it everywhere we go. And finally, cellphones are traceable either via the unique cellphone number or by location. All this makes creates opportunities for one-to-one marketing that you may use to provide products and services.

Tests that Help Evaluate Kaposi Sarcoma
Your doctor may also suggest these tests to find out if you have Kaposi sarcoma (KS) and where it is:
Biopsy. This is a procedure in which tissue samples are removed (with a needle or during surgery) from the body for examination under a microscope to determine if cancer or other abnormal cells are present. There are two types of biopsy, including the following:
Needle biopsy. A small needle is inserted into the abnormal area in almost any part of the body, guided by imaging techniques if necessary, to obtain a tissue biopsy. This type of biopsy can provide a diagnosis without surgical intervention.
Open biopsy. This is a surgical procedure in which an incision is made through the skin to expose the tumor and allow a sample of tissue to be cut or scraped away.
Bronchoscopy. If your doctor sees suspicious lesions or nodules on the chest X-rays, he or she may recommend a bronchoscopy for diagnosis. This test uses a thin, flexible tube called a bronchoscope, which is equipped with a light and a camera lens. The doctor inserts it into your windpipe to look for lesions inside your trachea. Your doctor can take biopsies during this test to send to a pathologist to examine. A pathologist is a doctor trained in looking at cancer cells. If you have a bleeding lesion, the doctor can stop the bleeding during this test.
Computed tomography (CT scan). Your doctor may use this test for a more detailed evaluation of lung lesions. A CT scan uses an X-ray beam to take pictures of the inside of your body from many angles. A computer combines these pictures and gives the doctor a detailed cross-section view of the body.
Endoscopy. For lesions in the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), the doctor will use a thin, flexible tube called an endoscope, which is equipped with a light and a camera lens. This tube lets the doctor see inside your esophagus, stomach, and a portion of your intestines. The doctor can use the endoscope to take biopsies of lesions in your GI tract. Lesions can also grow in your rectum. Sometimes, a doctor can find these lesions by inserting a gloved finger in your anus. Normally though, these lesions grow under the surface of rectal tissue and have to be found with an endoscope.
X-ray. An X-ray machine takes a picture of the inside of the chest. The doctor may use a chest X-ray to see KS in your lungs.

There it was, the state of three-dimensional printing, represented by a pair of demonstrations on opposite sides of the College of Charleston's TD Arena last weekend.
On one end of the floor, veteran media executive Robert Tercek kicked off his keynote address, "Inventing the Future," by projecting an image of a 3-D-printed human mandible on the screen behind him and previewing a day when human organs could be similarly created.
No longer would patients have to rely on organ donors, Tercek said during a morning talk at the Dig South Interactive Festival. Simply print livers and even hearts. "It's almost like a god-like power," Tercek said.
On the other end of the arena, Allison Merrick had a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3-D printer on her craft studio's booth table. It made bracelets, iPhone cases and other little plastic objects while conference-goers looked on in wonderment.
"My mind has been blown at the @spacecraftsc booth in the emporium @DIG_SOUTH," tweeted Ben Wong, digital experience director at Charleston web design and marketing firm Blue Ion. "3D printing right before my eyes! Check it out!"
There, within a minute's walk of each other, was the high and the low, the present and future of 3-D printing.
On one hand, the maturation of the technology has people planning to print buildings and speculating about the biotech possibilities, like making human tissue. On the other, that same maturation has made 3-D printers commonly available for just several hundred dollars or a couple thousand dollars in the case of Merrick's machine.
"This is revolutionizing the way we think about, on an individual level, goods," she said.
Soon, Merrick predicted, a person might need a plastic fork for a picnic, and it'll be a question of "do I go to the store and buy it, or do I just print it?"
More common
Three-dimensional printing has been around, in some form, for decades, but within the past couple of years, the ability to create common household items with the press of a button has begun to capture popular attention and imagination as the next big thing.
As the technology progresses and the price of it plummets, 3-D printers are becoming more and more common not just in manufacturing and engineering companies but also in small crafting studios, schools and homes.
And it's just getting started, especially in Charleston.
Three-dimensional printing was essentially invented when Charles Hull patented a technique known as stereolithography in 1986, the same year he founded 3D Systems, according to the company website and other reports. The company now is based in Rock Hill, though Hull works in a research lab outside Los Angeles. He didn't respond last week to questions.
Meanwhile, the technology progressed. Dan Thomas, who recently moved to Summerville from Detroit, has watched that march from the front row.
Starting in his teens, Thomas worked in the Motor City's car industry, which makes extensive use of 3-D printing. He remembers printing out interior trim panels, speaker housing and ultrasonic airbag sensors for Fords and Jaguars on what he estimated was a $10 million 3-D printer.
Now Thomas has his own printer at home, a Makebot Replicator, and after a trial period making household goods for himself, he recently started advertising his 3-D printing services. Orders have varied from toys to video game housing.
He marvels at how, like desktop computers, what was once a huge contraption only for big business or industry is now publicly available for a couple of thousand dollars.
"As far as a dollar for dollar on the machine, five years ago, I don't think you could've touched this thing for $20,000," he said. "It's much more than what was available in the past."
Cover story
Merrick is similarly amazed. She once worked in human resources on the West Coast but recently has become an adherent of the maker movement, a philosophy of sustainability and small, personal living.
She moved to Charleston from San Francisco and opened up SpaceCraft, a craft studio, last summer.
Merrick had heard the buzz about 3-D printers but became a full-on convert when she attended the World Maker Faire in New York last September. The next month, MakerBot made the cover of Wired magazine.
A few months later, she ordered her MakerBot printer, the model featured on the cover that goes for around $2,200, and received it just last month. She's had to dissemble it a couple of times, but now it's working to her satisfaction.
Merrick said she downloads the computer-aided design programs from websites such as Thingiverse and loads them onto her printer, which then turns them into real three-dimensional objects.
At her Avondale studio last week, Merrick demonstrated how she feeds a spool of polylactic acid into the printer, where an articulable arm extrudes that plastic like a "digital glue gun" onto a platform. After several minutes, a stretchy bracelet is ready for wearing.
Besides Thomas' house and Merrick's store, 3-D printers are in use in factories around the Lowcountry.
Knoxville, Tenn.-based ModernTech, which resells and supports 3-D design and printing technology for manufacturers, opened an office on Daniel Island last year to train customers such as Bosch, Berchtold and Boeing, and to grow its coastal business. Among ModernTech's principal resale products are SolidWorks computer-assisted design software and the Objet 3-D printer.
Meanwhile, small-scale 3-D printers can be found at the North Charleston do-it-yourself nonprofit MakeLab and in area schools.
North Charleston's R.B. Stall High School has one in its pre-engineering class where students design and print little objects as part of their training for what they'll find in the workplace.
Wando High School in Mount Pleasant has had a printer for five years and just got its second last month.
David Roemer, dean of the School of Math, Science & Engineering at Wando, said students use them for rapid prototyping as well as to make rocket and robot parts.
"Three-D rapid prototyping represents state-of-the-art design fabrication," Roemer said, noting they're standard in college engineering programs. "As prices come down ... we will be using them in many different business settings as well as at home."
It's fair to say the 3-D printing buzz is reaching a fever pitch — the Wired headline was, "The MakerBot Replicator Might Just Change Your World" — yet Tercek was careful to qualify his bold view of the future.
"Some people think it's a little bit overhyped," Tercek said. And others, caught up in that hype, might have bought one and then realized it takes some know-how to make it work.
Thomas said he's read such complaints from online commenters. He said it even took him a little while to get his Replicator to print perfectly — and he's a trained tinkerer.
Buying a 3-D printer and expecting it to automatically churn out perfect household goods and artistic figurines, Thomas said, is like buying a basketball and expecting to score every time you shoot.
There's also the opposite concern about 3-D printing: that it can do too much so easily.
The potential for printed firearms grabbed headlines for a moment during the recent gun control debate, and there are sure to be other debates.
So these are still early days for personal, additive manufacturing technology, especially in Charleston, and much remains to be seen. But pay attention, Merrick advised, because 3-D printing's "about to blow up."

(Low-Sugar (or Sugar-Free) Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake was updated with better photos and step-by-step instructions, November 2014.)
Low-Sugar (or Sugar-Free) Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake
2 packages (8 oz. each) light cream cheese (not fat free cream cheese which has added sugar)
1/4 cup Stevia in the Raw Granulated Sweetener, Splenda, Swerve Sweetener, or another non-sugar sweetener of your choice (Sometimes a blend of sweeteners will give the best flavor.)
1/4 cup sugar (or use another 1/4 cup sweetener for sugar-free version)
2 tsp. Vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. apple or pumpkin pie spice
Optional Ingredients:
1 (9-inch) purchased graham cracker crust (get the lowest sugar crust you can find)

Plans to develop the consensus statement were first announced last year, and now the completed guidelines will be presented in an accredited satellite symposium in conjunction with the 33rd Annual Congress of the Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) in Philadelphia on May 16th, to be followed by publication in the June issue of the Clinical Journal of Oncology Nursing.
"Not knowing what to expect can discourage patients from continuing their treatments, while knowledge, support and intervention can improve adherence to their therapeutic regimen," said NLB member Patricia A. Mangan, APRN, BC, Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
NLB member Beth Faiman, RN, MSN, APRN, BC, AOCN, Taussig Cancer Institute at the Cleveland Clinic added: "With nurses educating patients regarding signs of potential side effects and coordinating appropriate medical management, we believe more patients will stay on their medications and continue to reap the full benefit of their therapies."

There is no optimal scenario for building the Phillies outfield this late in winter. Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. conceded as much Monday, when he suggested it is likely the team will use what it has.
The risk is obvious. The Phillies could spend $1.5 million on their starting outfield while devoting $19 million to two relief pitchers. Of the current outfield quintuplet, only Ben Revere has ever logged more than 500 at-bats in a season.
Amaro said the best-case scenario is pitting unproven players against one another with hopes that competition creates a viable outfield. Domonic Brown will receive every chance at earning a role as an everyday player. Health will always be an impediment until Brown shows otherwise.

The Stetson sand volleyball team opened its 2014 season with a pair of wins Friday, defeating Tulane 4-1 and Warner 5-0 at the Stetson Spring Break Tournament.
Senior Kaley Melville and freshman Kaylee Anderson won a pair of matches at the no. 1 seed, while junior Savannah Byl and sophomore Madison Tormey also picked up two wins on the day.
"I think we performed really well," interim head coach Meghan Bryant said. "For the first day we had our ups and downs, but every single team we had contributed to the win in the some way. The best thing about it is when we were down, we pushed back and found a way to win."
One pair that battled back from a big deficit was Byl and Tormey, who posted a 2-1 victory against Tulane at the no. 3 seed. After falling behind 1-0, the Hatter duo won the second set 21-19, but then fell behind again 13-7 in the decisive third set.
"It was our first game of the season, and we were a little nervous," Tormey said. "As a pair we decided we are not going to lose this game."
Byl and Tormey closed the gap to 14-11 and staved off three match points before pulling out a 17-15 win.
"It all started with the serving," Byl said. "Maddie went back there and said to me, 'I got this.' She turned around she probably aced three in a row."
Bryant was extremely pleased with the pair's performance.
"It was really big for them to not only get a run to take the lead back but once they switched sides to keep pushing for more," Bryant said.
In defeating Tulane, the Hatters got redemption for a loss suffered in New Orleans last year.
"(Our players) know how every out-of-conference game and win can contribute to our bid to go to nationals, and that is what they all want," Bryant said. "They want the A-Sun Championship and they want to go to nationals."
Stetson also swept Warner in all five matches to improve to 2-0 on the season.
The Hatters will host a pairs tournament on Saturday beginning at 9 a.m.

Behavior of Power Law Fluids in a Mixer
Application ID: 16025
This model shows how to use simulations to predict power numbers with Power Law fluids in a mixer. It simulates the behavior of flow in a flat bottom tank with a single four-blade pitched impeller. The flow was modeled as laminar and the frozen rotor approach was used to solve the discrete governing equations in one quarter of a baffled tank. The calculated power numbers were compared with experimental results in literature and a good agreement was achieved.

Like father, like son, Captain David Headden, 35, of Summerville is following in his dad's footsteps at Station 4. His dad is a Captain at Station 1.
"I am a second generation fireman," says Headden.
Headden has been with SFD for 18 years, 17 of which have been paid.
He grew up in Sangaree and while he was a senior at Stratford High School he took a vocational course at Oakley Vocation School, in auto mechanics.
"They allowed me to co-op at the fire department," he explains, "so I would fill in, give a hand around the firehouse, do drills, run calls."
"While I was still doing the co-op, Chief Richard Waring III, (the current chief's dad), hired me while I was still in high school."
"I was the first person to ever do that…it was a sort of school-to-work type of thing. I was only in school every other day (he had gone to summer school after his junior year to get ahead) for an hour and a half just to get my final credits."
"I was hired [at SFD] in November, 1996 and I graduated high school in June, 1997."
As captain, he rides front passenger side in the "captain's seat." He supervises the crew at Station 4 (near Azalea Square). He has a total crew of four and they run one engine - Engine 4.
If first on scene, they will assess the situation and run the scene until they transfer command to either the second truck on scene or to the Battalion Chief. Once command is transferred, they will go in.
He is trained in a multitude of things including hazmat, PICO, confined space and rope rescue, auto extrication, pump ops, as a safety officer and in leadership.
His worst experiences are those calls involving young kids, he says. "There was this elderly lady in a structure fire in Lincolnville," he recalls, "we responded under mutual aid…we lost an elderly lady that night." He says there have only been a handful of those awful calls over the course of his career.
His best call, he says, was an apartment fire. An all-night fire, SFD responded to with North Charleston, Old Fort and four SFD companies.
"We were the first pumper to an apartment fire. It was a two-story apartment complex and the building was burning pretty bad. There was a little girl trapped inside. Her dad had brought her out and then gone back in. Unbeknownst to him, she had followed him back in.
"We had to back out. After the fire died down enough, another crew went in for a secondary search and they found her. She had fallen through a hole the fire had burned through the floor and the ceiling had fallen on her [protecting her]. She was in the hospital for a while but she survived."
His goal, he says, is "one of these days, before I retire, I would like to make Battalion Chief."
"I love riding the engine and being captain…I am still excited coming to work every day."
He even likes the 24-hour shift he works. "You form friendships."
He has worked all the stations over his tenure, he says.
When not at work, he and his wife of almost 14 years, Jennifer - an RN in Labor and Delivery at Summerville Medical Center - love parenting their son, two-year-old Levi.
"I am a big family man and I love spending time with my wife and son."
He is, he says, also a big deer hunter, enjoys fishing and is a racing fanatic - NASCAR.
"I used to drive a race car in high school," he says, "from 1994 to 1998 at the Summerville Speedway, Myrtle Beach and Timmonsville. I won championships - 22 times in four years of racing."
"My father owned the car and I had several sponsors including Taco Bell."
In fact, that was how he met his wife.
"I had a race car in the mall and I met her through a friend."
He also enjoys college football and is a Clemson fan.
He works part time driving trucks for Penske.
"Some people think we just sit around the firehouse," he says, shaking his head. "Our day started as soon as we got here today [and every day], exercise, then a car crash, washing the truck then hydrant maintenance. We have to go to James Island for a Fire Prevention week thing from 6 to 9 p.m., ...we are on the go until 5 or 6 p.m. every day. We will spend about five hours a day on training."
His life goal, he says, is "to be remembered as a good person, someone who would lend a hand when needed. I want to be the best father and husband I can be and I want to be able to retire and spend time with them [wife and son] and watch my son grow up."

Samsung Galaxy S II Plus ReviewSamsung GALAXY S II Plus 7.5
We still remember how excited we were when Samsung announced the Galaxy S II back in 2011. It stood out in many ways ahead of its Android-powered competitors – with hardware performance to put many of its rivals to shame and a body so slim that it was considered the world's thinnest handset for a short while.
Now it's 2013 and the company's former flagship is back in the form of a refreshed model – a reincarnation, if you will, known as the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus. On a hardware level, it comes with specs that make it very similar to the older variant, meaning that it isn't quite suitable for the high-end category anymore, but it is shaping up as a decent mid-range device.
There's a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display gracing its front, an 8-megapixel camera on its back, while a dual-core processor runs the whole show. Seems promising on paper, but our in-depth review will truly show whether Samsung's new offering is worth your time or not. Let's fire it up!
In the box:
- Wall charger
- Micro USB cable
- Wired stereo headset with additional silicon tips
- Quick start guide
Samsung Galaxy S II Plus Unboxing:
Instead of the curvy lines and rounded corners that Samsung's recent Androids are associated with, the Galaxy S II Plus exhibits a rectangular design, which it has adopted from the highly-acclaimed-yet-aging Galaxy S II. In fact, if it wasn't for the glossy paint job that the new model has been treated to, one would have a really hard time telling the two devices apart since their shape is practically identical.
But despite the obvious contradiction with the maker's current design principles, we don't really have anything against the appearance of the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus. The smartphone is both as slim and light as the mid-rangers it will be competing against, and a single thumb is enough to operate it efficiently once you get accustomed to its proportions. Besides, the Hyperglaze-inspired finish looks quite appealing, regardless of whether you pick its blue or white variant. There's one downside to it, however, namely that fingerprints tend to stick to the handset's shiny surface rather easily, but at least they are relatively easy to get rid of.

No matter how we look at it, the 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus panel on the Samsung Galaxy S II Plus can't impress us with its 480 by 800 pixels of resolution. Not that it's too big of an issue, but at 216ppi, letters and graphics are slightly pixelized around the edges while the paragraphs of text in web pages are unreadable unless you zoom in.
What we do like about the smartphone's display, on the other hand, is that it has deep blacks and very wide viewing angles – all traits that make AMOLED panels so outstanding. Its colors are lush and saturated slightly above neutral levels, but not to the exaggerated extent that was typical for AMOLEDs of 2 years ago. SAs a result, photos and videos that are displayed can be very pleasing to the eye. We do wish, however, that the screen had a higher brightness output as using it outdoors can be a challenge in some cases.

Xperia L is a better choice.

I will never buy any Xperia unless Sony starts using decent scratch resistant glass on top of their screens with an oleophobic layer instead of that plastic sheet of crap that is supposed to protect the screen.
10. toondewachter (Posts: 54; Member since: 24 Jan 2012)
Apparantly some people don't believe me (why else would you vote down my comment?) so here is some proof:
without oleophobic layer, the glass (not the plastic sheet) catches fingerprints you can't get rid of anymore... Suit yourselves!

Let's say the Xperia T is a better choice then, can be had for €350 too.

This really doesn't impress me. The OG S2 is just as good or better in almost every category and already has a great developer following. The S2 plus is Samsungs way of saying, "we really can get away with anything".

Except they already have more than enough mid range options... I understand choice and options, that's why I choose Android. However, flooding the market and selling this phone as an S2 plus is insulting. You can buy an original S2 for $250-300 on ebay brand new with no contract. I doubt that the S2 plus will be sold at a competitive price.
7. toondewachter (Posts: 54; Member since: 24 Jan 2012)
At a fraction of the price? LOL! €350 is the price for it in Belgium. I have been able to find a brand new Galaxy S3 for €379... Some great options Sammy is giving here. Looks like you don't look that smart anymore, hé?

Phonearena, come on! A couple of days ago you reviewed the HTC First and gave it a 7.5 because of the performance that is not top notch...
Now you're scoring this overpriced two year old repacked thing the same whereas it scores only half the points in Quadrant and Antutu? Saying it is an OK performing mid-range phone?
Where is your objectivity? Your scoring system fails big time!

If it was atleast QHD resolution and the battery would have been a bit bigger, then it would have been the best mid-ranger. Those who couldn't buy S2 due to its price point can try this one.

Shame on you Samsung, this device should have come up with upgraded features but you just sucks. Its should be named as S II Minus :X
28. Talish (Posts: 2; Member since: 18 Apr 2013)
I really hate this phone.Sold after hardly using 2 days. Let me list the reason for which I incurred loss of $25 on this set by reselling.
1. It does support flash so that you can not install Adobe Flash Player in it which is necessary to support various games i.e. Subway Surfers etc. Moreover, online TV channels need flash player as well to play on phone.
2. It hanged on the very first day while I was on call and ends up restarting the phone.
3. Touch sensation is no way near the low-budgeted HTC phones.
4. Camera result is ordinary, you find iphone 3GS 3.15MP result quite better than that of S2 plus.
Hope it would guide you positively.
29. panda123 (Posts: 27; Member since: 18 Jan 2013)
I can conclude three possiblities for your situation... Either you have been paid by HTC, or you've accidentally bought a Galaxy Pocket, or you were scammed hardcore and bought a chinese phone. I will respond to your points as per my experience with the phone for more than a week now...
1. You can install Flash player, you can play any game... Your info is so false it makes no sense.
2. Never hang on me... in more than a week, and I install lots and lots of apps and use the phone heavily.
3. Lol... Makes no sense
4. SGS2+ camera is equal to SGS3's.
30. Talish (Posts: 2; Member since: 18 Apr 2013)
Mr.Panda..If you citing your experience bona fide then I may be scammed. Please go to play store and try installing adobe flash player and do install subway surfers and let me know whether or not your phone playing it properly
31. panda123 (Posts: 27; Member since: 18 Jan 2013)
Adoble flash has been removed from the play store since the release of 4.1 Jellybean, you must sideload it... Plus (pun intended), Adobe flash player has nothing to do with subway surfer. Subway surfer worked perfectly before and after I installed flash player. No bugs whatsoever.

Hey people, I'm thinking of buying this phone. The things I prefer in phones is a good big display, an eye catching design and the most most important, Extreeeeme gaming performance!
I'm more than satisfied with its display and design and all...
But I'm worried about the gaming angle. I've seen videos and have read comments about the Videocore IV GPU of the device giving it a hard time in gaming :(
Is this so? I've seen Modern Combat 4 with some minor bugs in the visuals, is this the same with some other games too? How many games are buggy on this device and what can I expect with gaming on this device? Do the newly released high end games like Real Boxing, Real racing 3, etc, work good on this device? The framerates and all...
(Please no suggestions of high budgeted devices because I have a limited budget...
My range is around 250-300$)

Well, to be honest, if gaming is really important to you, I doubt this is the device you are looking for. I don't know where you are living, but since you're giving price range in dollars: why don't you buy the Nexus 4? It is in that price range and will satisfy your needs.

I quoted the price in dollars just to be on the same page with most of the people out there!
I live in Pakistan though...
And nexus 4 is much expensive than the s2 plus here :-(
I myself also wanted the nexus 4 but sadly, it's out of range for me :'(
Can you suggest me some other phones having the best gaming potential in the s2 plus' price range...
42. toondewachter (Posts: 54; Member since: 24 Jan 2012)
It is very hard to recommend something if I don't know what's available in your region and at what cost. I live in Belgium and we have a similar situation here: no cheap Nexus 4...
Here the HTC One S and the Xperia T can be bought for around €350 which is roughly the same price as the S2 Plus. But it features a much better chipset. You could look out for those.

Can people inducted into the H.O.F compete again? Rudy is one of my favorites to follow on FB. He is so proud of his students. ...and his dog is SO cute!
I see Rudi isn't neglecting her hand positions. Middle finger depressed, forefinger and pinky elevated, like a proper ballerina.
It would be a lovely photo no matter who the coach and pupil happened to be -- and it's very sweet icing on the cake that he is a national champion and she is the daughter of his former partner, who is an Olympic champion.
Although I am not one of the mods, I also will take this opportunity to give you an unofficial welcome to GS.
It's especially sweet now that they are both HoF members...I could conceive of a show starring HoF members that they would perform in
Loved seeing the photo of Kristi and Rudy on ice - they were one of my favorite pairs teams. It always amazed me that both of them competed in singles as well as pairs at each competition (until KY decided to drop pairs). It would be wonderful to see them skate together again (normally I avoid the "shows" but I'd certainly tune in to see these two performing a pairs routine).
Seriously I was saddened for Rudi when Kristi decided on singles but so thrilled he had his moment winning US nationals and a world bronze medal. Kristi has always been so nice and generous. She has done so well for herself professionally and personally I am sure deep down while she has not done anything wrong she is also trying to be supportive to Rudi who hasn't had it as easy as her for many reasons. She is a very blessed and talented person - great image, great skater, Oly and world golds, awesome family, great husband who happens to be equally famous and even richer through his talent - she doesn't take things or people for granted. Bravo. Good for Rudi - it would be fun to see them skate pairs in some fun event. I think they might be a little long in the tooth though to seriously compete - single jumps I could see but the lifts and twists I don't think so. But still one can dream
I agree that they probably aren't competitive as pairs, but I would suspect that with some practice, they are definitely capable of doing a simple pairs routine. Kristi was utilized in pairs routines during her stint with SOI - i recall her skating with Dennis Petrov. I know, that was a long time ago, too. Just saying a few basic pairs moves are extremely likely - although probably avoiding the over head lifts. They could certainly do a basic throw jump, simple carry moves and side by side elements.

The grandson and namesake of Ted's Hot Dogs founder Theodore "Teddy" Liaros is getting ready to open his third Theodore's Red Hots location at 7500 Transit Road in Amherst on the former site of a Mr. Pita restaurant.
Last year, Teddy; his wife, Beth; and their daughter, Bailey, were fired from Ted's Hot Dogs, which is run by Teddy's father, Spiro.
Ted's declined to disclose the reason for the termination, which the Liaroses said blindsided them.
Shortly afterward, the Liaroses opened their first Theodore's Red Hots location on Grand Island Boulevard in Grand Island.
In April, Theodore's opened a second location on Union Road in Cheektowaga, just five miles from a Ted's Hot Dogs in Depew. They are shooting for a Labor Day opening with the third store, which is just a minute's drive from a Ted's Hot Dogs location down the street.
"Sales are very strong at our two locations, and we anticipate they will be strong at the [Amherst]location, too," said Beth Liaros, Theodore's Red Hots' chief financial officer. "We've definitely been well received."
Theodore's is sticking to an expansion plan of about three stores per year, with its fourth location planned for early spring.
They are scouting locations in North Buffalo, Hamburg and other places.
The Liaroses are still holding on to a parcel of land they bought on Bailey Avenue in Buffalo, which they had originally hoped to make the site of their initial location.
When they tore down the former Pizza Hut on the property, they found that new setback and green space requirements would reduce the allowed size of their proposed restaurant and its parking lot, perhaps to the point a restaurant there wouldn't be feasible, Beth Liaros said.
"We've been in communication with the town, and we're revisiting that location," she said.
The Liaroses would also like to open a location in Arizona but have no immediate plans to do so.

When VH1 premiered its hit summer reality series Dating Naked in July, the concept – that luckless singles go on blind dates in the buff as a last ditch effort to find love – seemed hilariously far-fetched.
But despite one woman's mortifying experience on the show, another couple has proven the formula works.
After a date in May filled with naked surfing and deep conversation, 27-year-old artist Ashley Fonda fell hard for 36-year-old yoga instructor and self-proclaimed "sexual healer" Alika Medeiros.
"We really deeply connected and he taught me things," Fonda tells PEOPLE. "We realized we both have the flower of life tattoo. I told one of the producers, 'I'm going to marry this man.' "
And in a surprising twist, she did just that. Medeiros and Fonda exchanged vows in a Shaman-officiated, non-traditional ceremony at a botanical garden in Los Angeles on Aug. 6.
And though Fonda and Medeiros's families weren't there for the happy occasion (Fonda says his still doesn't know about it), all are invited to watch the wild wedding episode airing Sept. 18.
So was it all for show? "I'm truly in love with Alika," says Fonda, "I'm so excited to see where our relationship goes and grows."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge kicked off 2013 apart from one other – with helicopter pilot William participating in an attempted rescue of a man who had been swept out to sea in the first minutes of the New Year.
William, 30, was part of an RAF search and rescue crew scrambled at around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday to help find a 41-year-old dog walker who had gotten lost in raging seas at Blackpool, Lancashire. Sadly, the RAF Sea King helicopter was unable to find the stricken man, and searches by coastguard crews were continuing into early Wednesday.
Kate, meanwhile, was believed to be ringing in the new year at home with her parents in Bucklebury, Berkshire, where she and William spent their Christmas Day.
At his RAF base in North Wales, William was on the first responders' shift from early New Year's Eve into the start of the New Year, PEOPLE was told. He was also to spend a second 24-hour shift on or near the base as part of a second back-up crew.
As for Kate, she was seen at a gas station on Sunday stocking up on Mini Cheddars snacks, according to one eyewitness.
William is expected to spend much of the early part of the year "concentrating on his flying," a Palace source tells PEOPLE, and he and Kate are not expected at any royal engagements in the first few weeks of '13.

Makayla Olin , 6, stood on the third-base line of a baseball field early Saturday morning at the Greeley Family FunPlex, 1501 65th Ave .
Clutching her Minnie Mouse Easter egg basket, she waited patiently in the cool, morning air for the sound of a carhorn to signal the beginning of the egg hunt.
Joined by her mother Renee, Makayla raced off at the sound of the horn, collecting a healthy stash of colorful, plastic eggs containing candy and other prizes.
"I'm done," Makayla said emphatically, her basket nearly overflowing with eggs. "I'm done 'cause my basket's full."
She began to walk back toward the exit, until she realized the jacket she had in her pockets — more places to hold eggs.
Makayla and her little sister Hailie, 3, were among the hundreds of children who scoured the FunPlex ballfields for the 8,000 scattered eggs. Separate fields for various age groups helped keep the older children from scooping up all the goodies. The hunt at the FunPlex was one of at least seven similar events that went on across the county a day before Easter.
At the FunPlex, the luckiest hunters snagged one of 60 golden eggs, which the finders were able to redeem for prizes from a volunteer at a nearby tent. Cortney Jennings, one of the hunt's organizers, said it's hard not to enjoy the event.
"This is the third time we've done this," she said. "It's a lot of fun for the kids, and it's just one of the things we can do for them."
She said her favorite age group to watch is the infant to 3-year-olds.
"They're either waddling out there by themselves, or their parents have them on their shoulders," she laughed.

SYCAMORE - Mohawk Local School District is seeking taxpayer support to pay for capital improvements with a lifespan of five years or more.
A five-year, 1.5-mill levy to provide funds for permanent improvements is to be on the Nov. 6 ballot, according to Seneca County Board of Elections.
"This is a new levy. ... We need this to pass because what we're not doing right now ... is saving money for big-ticket repairs that are inevitable," Mohawk Superintendent Ken Ratliff said.
The levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $45.94 per year, he said.
It would generate $176,392 annually, with $125,000 being set aside for heating, ventilation and air conditioning maintenance and roof repairs and the remaining being put toward instructional technology.Ratliff said he believes the district's compressors, which run year-round, are in their seventh year. The district has four compressors, and the estimated replacement cost for each unit is $100,000, he said.
They potentially are getting to the end of their life, he said.
Ratliff said he thinks officials have demonstrated to taxpayers they are operating within the budget and have been diligent. The district cut nearly $400,000 in the 2011 fiscal year and nearly $300,000 in the 2012 fiscal year, he said.
"In that time, we've added programs and services to students," he said.
Also, teachers made insurance concessions and did not take a pay increase, he said.

Pulled by a team of horses, the iconic Wells Fargo stagecoach will make an appearance in Mount Pleasant to participate in the 18th annual Christmas Light Parade, at approximately 5:45 p.m.
Started in 1852, Wells Fargo came to own and operate the largest stagecoach system in the world. Ever since, the Wells Fargo Stagecoach has been among the most recognized, appreciated and enduring corporate symbols in America. For more than 150 years, it has represented Wells Fargo's dedication to serving the customers and the communities we all live in. It is the living expression of Wells Fargo's brand essence — working together — and is an important part of both America's history and future.
"We are proud to support the Mount Pleasant community by having the iconic Wells Fargo stagecoach take part in this year's Christmas parade," said Rick Redden, community banking regional president for Wells Fargo in South Carolina. "We take pride in supporting Mount Pleasant, as well as local communities across South Carolina. Our goal is to help build strong and vibrant communities, improve the quality of life, and make a positive difference."
Redden and his family will ride atop the Stagecoach in the parade while Wells Fargo team members will distribute candy along the route.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — When you think of recycling in Incline Village, you may also think of Madonna Dunbar. Since 2007, Dunbar has been working to make the community a greener, more environmentally friendly place.
As a resource conservationist with IVGID Waste Not, Dunbar oversees various recycling programs, as well as educating the young and old about environmental topics, from proper trash disposal and storage, keeping our water sources clean and bear awareness. Dunbar's job requires her to wear many different hats, as one day she may be in a classroom, teaching kids about bear safety and proper trash storage, when the next day she's in the field, checking trash bins to see if they work properly.
"This position is interesting and challenging because it does cover so many topics, from bear awareness to watershed protection," Dunbar said.
Originally from Buffalo, N.Y., Dunbar moved out west in 1990. Her husband, Pablo Ortega, and herself were working in the National Parks program, in Sequoia National Park, but found themselves looking for something more.
"We loved the park, but not really our job there. We had a friend tell us we should go to Tahoe, so we did," Dunbar explained. "We showed up here in 1998. Tahoe just welcomed us in. We had a place to stay right away, and jobs right away."
Dunbar began working at Sierra Nevada College when she arrived in Incline Village, where she taught various photography and media classes.
Dunbar and Ortega left Tahoe in 2005 to backpack in Thailand, India and Indonesia. At that point, they didn't think they would come back to Tahoe; however, their fate changed when the position Dunbar has now became open, and they returned to Tahoe in 2007.
"It was the third time I had applied for the job. Third time's a charm," she said. "That's how I ended up coming back."
One of her favorite parts of the job is going into the schools and community and educating people. Last school year, Dunbar and her staff worked with the student council of Incline Elementary School. Through their combined efforts, the school will no longer use Styrofoam food trays, a huge step toward cutting down waste in the schools.
"That's one thing that excites me about this position. My ability to work in the community and help people achieve their goals," Dunbar said. "If they want to know how to recycle better, we help them do that. If they want to know how to live more peacefully with the bears, we help them do that.
"That's one of the things I really enjoy is teaching to a broader audience."
Dunbar added that it's rewarding to see kids get excited about recycling and environmental issues. Often when the children get excited, they will bring that enthusiasm home to their families, which is when change is made to a more green lifestyle.
One of the bigger parts of Dunbar's job is working as the director of the Tahoe Water Suppliers Association, a group made up of the 12 water providers around Lake Tahoe that use the lake as drinking water. Under this position, Dunbar oversees the Drink Tahoe Tap campaign, which was started four years ago, that aims to decrease the number of people who drink bottled water around the basin. She added that drinking tap water is one of the easiest things you can do to help our environment.
"Living here has some unique responsibilities. It's up to everybody to participate in helping to protect the beautiful environment we have here," Dunbar said. "One of the things that always surprises me is when people go and buy bottled water. That's one thing I definitely think people are starting to get."
When she's not working, Dunbar can be found swimming in the lake, practicing yoga, seeing live music and cross-country skiing in the winter. She's visited all of states, with the exception of Alaska, as well as visiting 24 of the nation's national parks. While she was working for National Parks, her and Ortega, her husband of 12 years, lived in an old Greyhound Bus, working in the parks during the summer, and traveling during the winter.
Dunbar added that there are events coming up that members of the community are invited to attend. The Lake Tahoe Shoreline Cleanup, on Saturday, Sept. 15, is part of an international day of shoreline clean up. Dunbar and the rest of her staff are encouraging local residents and visitors to attend to help keep Tahoe's east shore beaches beautiful.

Congratulations to our June Advocate of the Month, Barb Sarbaugh! As the Advocacy Liaison to the Cincinnati Support Group, Barb contributes to other myeloma patients through her great work on the Postcards for Parity Program and by inspiring others to take action as well. On the Myeloma ACTION Team, she is an invaluable resource in the development of the program, continuously stepping up wherever needed.
Barb's advocacy participation started last summer when she learned about Postcards for Parity. "I chose to help with the postcards because it was something tangible that I could do," explains Barb. "I am not a group leader, I am not a medical expert, but I can explain the issue and encourage people to sign the cards. There are many in our group who are struggling and should not have additional concerns about finances on top of the medical concerns about this nasty disease that we all face. Anything that we can do to alleviate the financial hardship is worthwhile, in my opinion."
Barb has collected postcards at family gatherings and at church. Her most successful collection ever was at the "Partners in Hope Reunion," an annual celebration dinner held by the Blood and Marrow Transplant Unit of the Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio.
"We had a very emotional program in which a young donor told her story of her reasons for becoming a donor, and her hearing from her anonymous recipient that she had saved her life and how grateful she was. The young donor then had the unexpected opportunity to meet her recipient. They met for the first time on the podium, and there was not a dry eye in the house!
"As dessert was served, I went from table to table, pens and postcards in hand, and asked if they had had the opportunity to sign a postcard to support drug parity for cancer oral medications. I did not say, 'Do you want to sign these cards?' I said, 'Have you had a chance yet to sign these cards?' and then gave them that chance. I emphasized that HR1801 was just introduced into the House of Representatives and it was important to get the information and cards to the legislators this summer. I waited patiently beside each table, clearly expecting them to sign the cards, and they did. If someone said he/she wanted to take it home, I did not give him or her a hard time, I just said, 'I could save them the postage. '"
I collected 89 cards in that one evening.
"I think it is important to be involved in advocacy because we are all in this fight together. It will take a team effort to win." Barb is an asset to the ACTION team and to the myeloma community as a whole. Thank you Barb for being an amazing advocate!
