The Ashley Ridge boys basketball team placed third at the Lanier Holiday Classic held in Atlanta.
The Swamp Foxes defeated Mountain View 60-44 in the third-place game Dec. 29. Romelo Doctor paced the team with a game-high 27 points. DJ Stevens added 8 for Ashley Ridge while Sean White added 7. Mikey Goodwine, Donovan Thompson, Vernon Moree, Tray Jenkins and Malik Graham also scored for the Swamp Foxes, who improved to 8-4 on the season with the win.
It was a fantastic trip and such a great experience for our kids, Ashley Ridge coach Brian Welch said. We faced some very good competition that should help us in preparation for region play. I feel like we had a strong showing getting out of there with a third-place finish. The trip was also about more than just basketball. Providing new opportunities and unique experiences for our kids was also an important piece. We did a lot of fun team things while in Atlanta that I think the kids really enjoyed. Some of our guys have been around a long time and it was nice to take such a special trip with them before they walk across that stage.
Ashley Ridge opened the tournament with a 64-63 overtime victory over Whitewater. Fred Weeks led the Swamp Fox scorers with 20 points. Moree added 15 and Doctor 12. Stevens, Goodwine and Jenkins also scored for Ashley Ridge.
In the second round, the Swamp Foxes dropped a game to Lambert. Ashley Ridge travels to Wando Jan. 4 and opens region play Jan. 8 when it hosts Bluffton.

It is no secret that modern jazz musicians often draw upon multiple cultures when creating their art.
In Rudresh Mahanthappa's case, he begins by meshing traditional music from India along with influences ranging from the Middle East to the East Village, from blues and rock to funk and just about anything else you might care to name.
The results are stunning in their sonic diversity, striding across genres with a clearly focused intensity that astonishes and unnerves in equal measure.
Mahanthappa first came to play in Buffalo as part of the Albright-Knox's "Art of Jazz" series in 2008, when he was a member of Vijay Iyer's quartet. Unlike that concert, where the hall was fairly full, Sunday afternoon's concert with Mahanthappa as the headliner – with his group, Gamak – found the venue tightly packed; ticket holders straggling in at the last minute were left searching for a rare vacant seat.
Gamak is a ferociously talented quartet featuring Mahanthappa on alto saxophone as the composer and front man for the group along with guitarist David Fiuczynski, bassist Francois Moutin and drummer Dan Weiss playing in support. Everybody had standout moments, as the music allowed space for solos and duos in addition to moments where the interplay was so tightly wound that telepathy could be suspected.
All of this was evident from the opening moments of the program as "Waiting Is Forbidden" featured Mahanthappa's funk-inspired phrasing and Fiuczynski's pungent riffing. They formed the base for the rhythm section to drive the angular melody for a few moments before handing the sonic reins back to the bandleader. It was jazz, complete with improvisatory passages that introduced each of the musicians and their talents, but there were also a few measures that wouldn't have been out of place in a Robert Fripp/Adrian Belew project.
Fiuczynski's double neck guitar – fretless on top, fretted on the bottom – and battery of electronics allowed him plenty of opportunity to slip from playing sitar-like tones to offering pedal-driven distortions. Weiss' supple approach to tabla-inspired rhythms on his drum kit and Moutin's energetic bass lines pushed and pulled the pulse of the music to fit the needs of the moment.
But when it came down to it, this was Mahanthappa's gig. His artistic vision guided the results. No matter how pleasant things were between the players onstage, there was none of this "first among equals" stuff. He wrote the tunes, left room for the others to operate and made sure that everybody followed his lead.
When he nodded his head or looked a certain way at the band members, Mahanthappa was a conductor, in command of who was playing what when. The sidemen all had their moments, spots where they got to show their mettle, but his solos were the most consistently arresting.
For those who are interested, Padmanabha and his brother Ravi will play a concert of Indian classical music at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 7 at Buffalo State.

The extreme cold didn't keep fans from tailgating Sunday before the Green Bay Packers game.
Fans said it wouldn't be a Packers game without the cold. Some San Francisco 49ers fans said they wouldn't want to attend the game unless it was cold. They said they came prepared for the weather.
"I have four layers, four layers of pants, four layers of tops and one more if I get super cold," said Packers fan Tiare Hurst.
The cold didn't keep California native Greg Traynor from checking a visit to Lambeau Field off his bucket list.
"I wouldn't come to Lambeau Field if it was warm," Traynor said. "Why come when it's warm? We're coming because it's cold."
David Forbus arrived over the weekend at Mitchell International Airport from San Francisco. He said he will make it through the game.
"I'm going to make it through, but I don't know how comfortable I'm going to be," he said.
Steve Velpel and his brother from Appleton, Wis., carried a tradition they've had since 1972 - - cooking in the cold.
"We got some shrimp and lobster and got some steaks, some nice New York strips," Velpel said.

WBB Defeats Kent State 59-44 at Home in MAC Action
MUNCIE, Ind. - The Ball State women's basketball team (6-11, 3-1 MAC) defeated Kent State (2-15, 0-4 MAC) 59-44 in Mid-American Conference action Saturday afternoon in Worthen Arena.
The 3-1 conference start for the Cardinals is the best since the 2008-09 season when the Cardinals started out 4-0 in the MAC.
The Cardinals had three players score in double figures in the game with Brandy Woody leading the way with 15 points. Nathalie Fontaine and Brittany Carter scored 11 points apiece, while Woody led Ball State with six rebounds and seven steals. Carter had a team high five assists plus added four steals.
Ball State came out of the gates strong in the first half to take an early 17-0 advantage over Kent State. The Cardinals defense held the Golden Flashes scoreless up until the 10:15 mark of the first half.
In addition, Ball State's stellar defense forced Kent State into 15 turnovers before the Golden Flashes scored their first point of the contest.
With 6:33 left in the first period Kent State managed its first field goal of the contest making it a 19-8 game.
After that, Kent State went on an 8-0 run to close the gap to 19-16 with 4:17 to play in the half. Ball State remained in control to end the half up 26-20. The Cardinals also forced 20 Kent State turnovers in the first half alone.
Ball State shot only 33 percent from the field in the first half, but held the Golden Flashes to 27 percent shooting in the first stanza.
The Cardinals led the entire game, but Kent State managed to pull within two in the second half (33-31) with 11:55 remaining. With just under eight minutes left in the contest, Ball State answered with a 10-0 run which was sparked by a three point basket from sophomore guard Shelbie Justice to put the Cardinals back up by 12 (43-31).
The Ball State women's basketball team continues MAC action when it travels to Buffalo on Wednesday for a 7 p.m. tipoff in Alumni Arena in Buffalo, N.Y.

Police Investigating Harlem Assault as a Hate Crime
UPDATED | The Columbia University assistant professor whose assault is being investigated by police as a hate crime said Monday that his injuries could have been worse if a Good Samaritan hadn't intervened.
Prabhjot Singh, who wears a turban and a long beard in accordance with his Sikh faith, said he suffered lacerations and a fractured lower jaw after he was punched and kicked while walking with a friend, also a Sikh, on 110 Street near Lenox Avenue on Saturday.
Right before the alleged attack, Mr. Singh said he "heard 'get him, Osama.' I heard 'terrorist.'"
Mr. Singh — who happens to be an outspoken advocate for combating bias crimes against the Sikh community – told investigators that when he turned around, he saw between 12 and 15 people on bicycles. The alleged attackers are between 15 and 20 years old, he said. He told police he was then struck by some of the suspects as they rode away and was also punched and kicked about six times on the body and face.
"I felt somebody grab my beard while on a bike. What ensued was punching until I was ultimately on the ground," he said at a news conference on Monday.
Mr. Singh, 31 years old, said he was thankful the injuries were not much worse. At least one person intervened on Mr. Singh's behalf, police said. "I couldn't possibly and wouldn't guess what would have happened" if the bystander had not come to his aid, Mr. Singh said.
Right before the attack, Mr. Singh said he had dropped his wife and 1-year-old son at their Harlem apartment.
The New York Police Department said Monday that they are investigating the assault as an anti-Muslim hate-crime. It will be up to NYPD's Hate Crimes Task Force to determine if the attack was a hate crime, but Mr. Singh said, "it certainly felt like it was motivated by my appearance."
Mr. Singh was brought to Mount Sinai Hospital — where he is also a resident physician — and was treated for his injuries and released.
Mr. Singh told police he didn't get a clear view of the alleged attackers and therefore could not review mug shot photos or help complete a composite sketch. The NYPD on Monday released surveillance video of more than a dozen cyclists gathering near where the crime occurred and asked the public to help identify them, saying the cyclists are wanted for questioning. The attack was not caught on surveillance video.
The attack Saturday night was the most recent on a member of the Sikh community, which has faced numerous bias attacks locally and nationally in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Attacks against Sikhs have been classified by Federal Bureau of Investigation under anti-Muslim crimes. But that will change in 2015, officials said, after an attack at a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee in 2012 in which a white supremacist killed six people, including himself.
Saturday's attack also comes after a study gauging the nationwide public perception of Sikh Americans was financed and released by the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund.
The study showed that "70% of Americans misidentify turban-wearers in the U.S." and that "nearly half of Americans believe 'Sikh' is a sect of Islam," according to SALDEF.
"Unfortunately our research confirms that Prabhjot's experience is not the resulted of isolated misperception and intolerance," said Jasjit Singh, SALDEF's executive director.
"Here you have a practicing doctor, a teacher and a community servant falling victim to hate in the largest and proudest melting pot in America. This violence is an affront to all Americans' core values," he said.
Mr. Singh said his own experience only further reinforced his faith and desire to help those who feel uncomfortable when they see someone in a turban and a beard on the street. He said he would like to see that "the exact opposite reaction occurs instead of fear."
"I think that's our core teachings," he said of his Sikh dogma. "You see this face and you look for help. That's what we are here to do."

Usb Flash Drive As Memory Unit
Posted 24 November 2005 - 04:12 AM
What I want to know is: has anyone made any progress on using a regular USB flash drive as a memory unit? Is the difference between it and a memory unit in the hardware or is it formatted specially? I realize nobody has probably done this yet, but hopefully this can spark some interest. Thanks.

My main problem is that none of the stores have harddrives.
I dont wan't to buy a mem card roughly half the price of the hard drive

USB devices have certain identifiers such as serial number, product name, and manufacturer that are known to the kernel but not prominently displayed to the user. On linux with udev, you can get insane amounts of info on the device. The problem is causing an existing mass storage device to report what we want.
I'm interested to see the output of the following command:
udevinfo -a -p `udevinfo -q path -n /dev/<the memory card device (not partition)>`

Hopefully, the only thing keeping the 360 from recognizing a memory stick as a Memory Unit is the port you plug it into, and all you need is an adaptor. But this is doubtful.
Can anyone confirm that there's +5V going from pin 1 to 5? I can't find my tools at the moment.
...hmm. I wonder if MS did anything to prevent reading a memory unit on a computer? Other than encryption or a funky filesystem, I mean.

Pin 1 = 0
Pin 2 = 0
Pin 3 = 0
Pin 4 = 3.27 volts
Pin 5 = 0
So there we have it... might be able to somehow figure out how to run a card reader off of it if we can figure out the data pin configuration, but I'm not sure if a normal USB memstick will run off of only 3.3v.
Anyone know?
Ok, after another quick test, I've discovered the outer pins are both grounds.
So theoretically the layout is probabley
Pin 1 = Ground
Pin 2 = Data
Pin 3 = Data
Pin 4 = Power
Pin 5 = Ground
The extra yellow wire from the original xbox controller isn't needed because we're only powering a memcard, not an entire controller????
Anyone know how to decipher which data pin goes to plus or minus? Trial and error I guess If its layed out like a normal port then it should be that pin 3 is - and pin 2 is +
Might try wiring some stuff up to the port and see what happens when I plug in a memstick
oh and heres the link to another thread I started before this one evolved to memcard slots

So may not have enough power to run a memstick if this is the case... may try it later with my xD to usb converter as well... if anyone has an OPEN console, you might try soldering directly to the board instead... maybe MS deliberately lowered the power for the port so that USB devices aren't compliant. If we could bypass this limit, maybe we could get it to recognize... i might try pulling 5v from the front USB ports later, but right now I've got homework to do
Good luck all
EDIT: Ok, only took about 5 seconds... tried it with power off of USB ports and still nothing... got the memstick to power up though (LED blinked)... so it might be that I'm not getting a good connection with the data pins, but I'm really not willing to crack the case on my box to figure it out

Samsung files appeal on Samsung GALAXY Nexus injunction
0. phoneArena 01 Jul 2012, 21:34 posted on
Samsung has just filed with the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit for a stay of the injunction against the Samsung GALAXY Nexus; the motion asks for the stay to cover the entire 'duration of the appeal' or until the Court rules on the stay...

No anger involved. I read a lot of tech blogs/sites and those that are only there to rile people up stand out like a bright neon light at midnight. As they say, don't feed the trolls.
Relevant comments and those who actually add something thought provoking great conversations. Unfortunately a lot of great sites get run down by the trolls who only know how to repeat the same thing, on and on and on. Ignore them and they go away.

11. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
The argument that Sammy and Apple aren't competitors is a bit of a stretch....
However, if Siri and universal search are what is compelling to Judge Koh's decision to grant the injunction, it would seem that removing Sammy's implementation of S Voice would address that issue. If removing S Voice avoids an injunction, I would imagine there is a team of developers who are burning the midnight oil as this post is being typed.
16. tedkord (Posts: 11712; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
There is no S-voice on the GNex. This is about a unified search - having one input search multiple ways and return results to one output. Yet another abuse of the broken patent system.
39. bayusuputra (Posts: 963; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
i had unified search in my phone even before GNex came out, that includes finding apps, file, contacts web search etc.. and yet apple is only interested in Samsung..
i can bet $1m if motorola or ZTE is the biggest OEM, apple will go for them.. this is apple, this is cry baby at the finest..
19. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
remember the injunction is on the Galaxy Nexus witch does not posses S voice, but uses its own set of voice actions (way back there I know right?) and its search bar (go figure) S-voice could be in trouble because in the en some functionality is based on the same things as Voice actions. to the judge is a patent the real question is if Samsung can provide stuff that proved this patent should not be valid on court. another reason why patents should be approved when the company possesses a working prototype.
28. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
My understanding of the '604 patent is how it integrates unified search with the voice activation ("...what is the current temperature in Phoenix, Arizona?"). Disabling the ability to ask a question and convert the question to a query avoids infringement. Sales of the formerly infringing device can then go forward.
49. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I'll have to check on that, Still despite having a patent we all know this "infringement" is a load of bull ****
60. BREvenson (Posts: 240; Member since: 17 May 2012)
I would hope that, too, but this judge has already sided with Apple on two injunctions (the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and now the Nexus), so I doubt she'll be giving Samsung a chance here. I'm serious, she seems to be pro-Apple.
4. Birds (Posts: 1157; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
This is getting ridiculous!!! Both Apple and Samsung are at fault. Samsung shouldn't be trying to put out so many devices that infringe so many patents. Apple sue over innovation not gimmicks. Siri is only correct 40% of times so who cares about it? This is like watching 2 nine year old kids fight over who get the biggest slice of pie.
29. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
"Samsung shouldn't be trying to put out so many devices that infringe so many patents. Apple sue over innovation not gimmicks."
Your comment made me lol.
How is Samsung in the wrong? The patents Apple have are so unnecessary that they pay judges so they can win. They have $65 billion dollars to spend. Instead of spending it on new technology for a better tomorrow, they decide to pay for the lawyers' childrens college tuition.
40. Birds (Posts: 1157; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
I didn't explain myself clear enough I guess. I was just saying that Samsung should double check before they release a device that may infringe on patents let alone a swarm of devices. I'm saying this because Apple is realizing that everyone is making more innovative phones then they are so they have to sue about every frivolous patent. I'm not taking any sides from my stand points but I do see where Samsung is coming from. If Apple made a good phone instead of a good gadget then I'd vouch for them but nope, they are stuck in limbo with samsung because they don't know when to give up.
53. tedkord (Posts: 11712; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
The problem is, Apple is filing for and getting patents that are overly broad and can cover anything. Swipe to unlock? Ignoring that there's prior art and the patent should have never been awarded, they are claiming it covers ANY touchscreen gesture to unlock a phone.
The patent system us lost, chaotic. Instead if specific invention, Apple is being allowed to patent generuc, obvious things. It's as if Alexander Graham Bell had been granted a patent for "A method of transmitting voice or sounds over distances", then sued Marconi for the radio.
Until we get the patent system fixed, unethical companies like Apple will continue to abuse it to limit competition and innovation. Everyone angered by this should go to

I find it funny that they're saying that Apple will suffer "irreparable harm."
There is no harm in this at all, people are going to buy what they like, it's a preference. Some people like the Camero some people like the Mustang, they're both cars and both operate in the same manner but you don't see Ford and GM going at it in court. You don't see HP and Dell in court suing each other and so on and so forth, this business is all based on the customers preference.
But Apple obviously doesn't want the customers to have preference, that's why they started this smartphone war, the only preference they will allow you to have is 16 gig or 32 gig and in black or white.

last resport say Apple iPhone sales increase.
if samsung do any harm the sales will go down, not up

Funny thing is that they are reporting damages due to a smart phone which hasn't got a huge market share of the android ecosystem. Fair enough that they could claim the S2 or S3 of "harming" their sales and marketshare but the nexus is just another device.
Also seeing as google wrote the code for this device, shouldn't google be held accountable?

Since 1) Google is NOT making money with use of those features, they can't sue... 2) Even if they sue and Google starts to take counter patent trolls, cr@pple can't be in business then...

Why is Apple Irritating Samsung So Much?! The Galaxy Nexus is Alot Different Than Apple. idk Why Apple is being so picky about it. i Mean The Galaxy S III is a Different Operating System. And Plus Apple Stole The Notification Drop Down Box. idk Apple is Out of its damn mind.... if im Mistaken on something. Tell me

Isn't it obvious? Apple can't handle the rigors of business. They wanna make it big, but are afraid to fall. They are ok with everyone choosing their devices, but p*ssy out when another company comes along with a better product that could potentially lure customers away from them.

FOSS never sees anything other than Apple winning, Mueller's a hanger on. Fortunately, you can flip a coin and be right as often as he is.

Samsung's argument is solid, it doesn't take a lawyer to figure out that Apple is playing the Victim here. looks like we're going to have to get Mothers of small Children to come in and teach these Judges about how to deal with these two.

"The Court's finding that Apple will suffer irreparable harm was based on legally insufficient evidence that Samsung and Apple are competitors."
This is by far one of the dumbest arguments I have ever read from Samsung. I think Samsung's entire marketing scheme with the "barista" and "Samsunged" is plenty proof that the courts ruling was appropriate.
43. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the point is Apple can't prove that Market Share was affected as per Apple's Argument of Samsung infringing on the IP in question. you should know that wording things a certain way will stir things up differently in Court. it's not new and besides everyone knows that Samsung and Apple are competitors in the Market, that's natural, that's not what they're bringing to question, it's whether or not Samsung has gained a competitive edge due to this. which they haven't it's silly. using a search patent against the Galaxy Nexus? really? this kind of stuff should not hold up in Court. it's obvious abuse of the patent and court systems. i like Judge Posner's take on this.
12. AndroidVsApple (Posts: 12; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
Samsung Should Beat The Ass of Apple. Man Like Settle it already Damn it idk about the Galaxy S III but Not the Nexus.. Its Good Spec Its Really Nice...iPhone...Ehhhh Well its Good But You Have to Jailbreak it to Get EVERYThing. So Obviously Samsung Should win ... ( i Think im off on everything im just saying that Samsung Should Win.)

nexus devices are yearly.
Galaxy nexus launched really late last year. Maybe late October-ish. New nexus should launch around there. only thing is, i have seen any leaks about a new nexus phone.
45. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the launch of the Nexus 7 is what has created an unstable element here. we have no idea what Google's plans are based on what we've seen consistently in the past because there's been no Nexus Tablet, at least not one that evolved the phone scheme of things too being that Jelly Bean is a unified OS for Phones and Tablets unlike Honeycomb. will Google announce a new OS in the fall to justify launching a new Nexus? if so most would say that things are moving too fast because that would be the third OS update in a year.

In the end, this will be nothing more than a delay tactic from Apple. Most, if not all of these patents are extremely vague in nature and won't hold up under further scrutiny. Apple has tried many times to stop the sales of Samsung products and failed every time from permanently banning them.
What Apple has done is exploit a problem with Android phones, slow updates. They know the Galaxy Nexus is going to receive an update immanently soon and want it banned to keep the general public from seeing Jelly Bean. The S3 is already being sold so that horse is out of the stable, nor will it see Jelly Bean for probably six months or more. By that time, the next iPhone will be out and they'll be preaching their upgrades in commercials on a regular basis.
In the end, it's really the consumer who will decide. Samsung will continue to make and sell Android phones because they sell extremely well and make them lots of money. Apple will continue to sell iPhones because there are enough people who buy into their marketing. Neither side is going out of business any time soon.

We'll just have to see what the "judge" has to say about this. I think the defense that Apple has not suffered any irreparable harm and that they haven't suffered any market loss because of the infringement is a good one. I also think that if Apple is suing/getting an injunction on the Galaxy Nexus because of the "unified search", then they should be suing HTC, Motorola, ZTE, Huawei, any other Android manufacturer, and most importantly Google because that is a feature in basically every device that has, I think, at least Android 2.2 or above.

Can't wait for Samsung to ban the iPhone and the iPad in all of the US. :)
35. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
but you are not in the U.S.. illia? good that you have hope,, Samsung and the Android world needs it
46. ilia1986 (unregistered)
No I am not in the US. Why would we need hope? Apple is the one which needs hope - it's global market share is less than half of that of Android..
Everyone knows how this ends. Android becomes the new Symbian, while Apple remains a niche company.
55. gallitoking (Posts: 4718; Member since: 17 May 2011)
how is Apple becoming the new Symbian.. Apple is successful and it doesn't seem to be slowing down.. so please explain to me how that would happen?..
56. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Apple has always been about offering a product to a niche market. I see no reason for why would that change.

Apple's earliest innovations: Lets take softwares/harwares from the others.
Apple's earlier innovations: Lets do some products.
Apple's this day innovations: Lets make some updates and sell them as new iphone/ipad/i-blablabla.
Apple's new innovations: Lets sue everyone all the time!
