Report says Apple iPhone 5S will feature 12MP camera with improved low-light performance
0. phoneArena 16 Apr 2013, 00:50 posted on
According to a source who works for Wonderful Saigon Electrics, the next iteration of the Apple iPhone will carry a 12MP camera. Although Wonderful Saigon Electrics makes camera modules for Apple, that doesn't automatically make this solid information. The Apple iPhone 5S is due after the Summer, according the story, and will do a much better job at taking pictures under low-light conditions than the current camera on the phone. Apple was pushed to improve low-light picture taking after the success that the Nokia Lumia 920 has had with its camera in this area...

I'm looking forward to Google I/o next month. I think they'll bring great news in the camera department.

You forgot to mention Android and blackberry in your comment...

You forgot to mention that the Note III, will be coming in September! Which is the "Mightiest of all the Flagships" around...
until next September. By then, the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 will be not quite 6 months old, and iOS fans are going to be climbing the walls.
Forgot about the "TRUE FLAGSHIP" of Samsung!

...and WP7
2. moronman66 (Posts: 162; Member since: 09 Jan 2012)
A highly realistic sounding upgrade, I wouldn't doubt it at all, either a 12 or 13 megapixel camera sounds good, the 13 because the S4 has that, and it sounds better to have the same number, not a lower number than the opposition. Marketing is king for companies who succeed!
7. drum009 (Posts: 33; Member since: 23 Jan 2012)
I agree. Marketing is king but apple does a good job with it. They have succeeded even though almost every "number" they have is less than top tier android phones.... screen size, camera size, battery size, cpu cores, etc. (just referring to hardware).
I'm an android user :) and won't switch to another OS anytime soon.
31. TechBizJP08 (Posts: 495; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
they will play the game of catch up with the latest flagship. Sony makes the first move in MP count (12MP/13MP). Then followed by LG and Samsung, this time Apple because people will be expecting a higher MP mounted on the iPhone. :) It would be disappointing and that means jumpship from iOS to Android and WP. You don't want that to happen apple right?
32. daftastic (Posts: 87; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
As long as they do the camera's software right, the megapixel count wouldn't matter. The MP count would matter to only the shallow people who look at specs instead of what counts in the real world. I could get technical about why megapixels don't matter, but that would be a wall of text.
If you didn't notice, the iPhone 5 just won the blind camera test provided by Phonearena themselves. If you deny that the iPhone 5 has a great camera, then you would be just another fanboy.
35. TechBizJP08 (Posts: 495; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
I agree, it does depend on the camera software. What i'm implying here is that people will look at the MP count, (Not me included of course) and when they see 1 mobile having 8MP vs 13MP, they will stupidly choose 13 over the other. But for iphone having an awesome camera software, and mount in 13MP (from sony) you may get better images than SG4/XZ/H1/NL92x. That's just an opinion..
3. darkkjedii (Posts: 21271; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Apples camera tech is outstanding. Rework the OS please.
4. HDShatter (Posts: 1021; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
Apple does 2 things very well, GPU and Camera other than that really nothing except average/below average besides their manipulation of the US population.
9. darkkjedii (Posts: 21271; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Dude...is this not a camera related article?
30. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
youre right, iToys need marketing when they are not capable to innovate :)
and what's worse:
"iPhones most 'vulnerable' among smartphones" - have to say disastrous security!
goo [dot] gl/WF2kj
the same with MACs....everything Apple produces
more and more inferior product :)
in the times Android has multi-user API, iConboards are still not able to copy, open any file, funny how stup*dity wins :)
45. maier9900 (Posts: 272; Member since: 17 Dec 2011)
"Vulnerable and disastrous security".... Let me correct you on that statement, Out of all mobile smartphones, android is the number 1 most vulnerable operating system among all other issues. Android holds the title with 95% of malware in the market compared to other Operating systems. The other 5% is shared between the rest. It is more wrong for you to say "same with Mac's" and "everything apple produces". You've either got serious issues or just hatched.
47. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
you lie, no Android is one of the most secure platform: you know what any app can do before installation.....
iToys or Microsoft is 10 year behind this security ;)
iPhones are the most vulnerable phones (OS) in the world, simply deal with that ;)
malware on Android? = an app you installed after checking the permissions by yourself and you can easily uninstall ;)
freedom requires responsibility, you are st*pid so you need someone to take care about you = Apple :)

just too let u know they are using SONY'S EXMOR SENSOR camera
8. HDShatter (Posts: 1021; Member since: 17 Jan 2013)
And they will actually optimize their software correctly unlike Sony. Its sad, Camera software is lagging on sonys phones but it is getting better with every flagship to where its on level/above iphone atm. No doubt though the first iphone with the new exmor is going to be a great camera. Even though I hate apple, I will admit that.
15. Hemlocke (unregistered)
We agree, for a change. Apple does camera optimization well, and other OEMs would do well to follow that lead. The hardware is only one piece of tho puzzle.
33. daftastic (Posts: 87; Member since: 07 Jan 2013)
How could it be hardware when Android devices have better specs than most PC's in the world?
10. darkkjedii (Posts: 21271; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
You didn't need to let me know that.
21. wendygarett (unregistered)
You are just a blind follower that does not know anything on tech, that's why you must be informed :)
41. darkkjedii (Posts: 21271; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
And you are spam, that flip flops his/her choice of OS with every post.
53. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Yes u do. U think apple is god of all technology. But guess wat their not. They buy other companies and they never invented the touch screen phone. Ur just a blind poor fanboy that doesnt like any company copying them. Give it a rest already.

iPhone's camera is already one of the best. PLEASE FOR GOD SAKE CHANGE THOSE UGLY SUPER STATIC ICONS AND PLEASE DITCH that 1 HAND operational screen.
13. bucky (Posts: 2570; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
You want to have to use both hands at all times on your phone??? That's one of the reasons I'm still using the iPhone. If there was a top spec android phone with 4.3" screen is be using it. Sgs2 international is still the best android I'v ever used.
16. Hemlocke (unregistered)
The i9100, and if you have big enough hands, the NII, are Sammy's best phones, to date. I owned the 777, as well as three S3's (9300, and two U.S. variants), as well as the international NI, and I didn't like any of them. The GNex was okay, but i liked the Nexus S better.
12. mikeguy1981 (Posts: 88; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
I love how apples best camera is currently a 8mp but all new android phones have 13mp and apple considers 12mp a upgrade. When compared to android devices apples upgrade is still considered a step backward to the android community. I don't get why people still buy apple phones.
14. bucky (Posts: 2570; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
The iPhone 5 still has the best camera even with a lower number. Typical, chasing specs for no reason...
20. opensourceftw (banned) (Posts: 148; Member since: 01 Jan 2013)
apple likes to pander to the hipsters and soccer moms that still buy their novelties. Since hipsters like retro, apple likes to be two years behind Android. Hell they're behind Windows and RIM at this point.
But they are very shiny and pretty.
40. Stoli89 (Posts: 333; Member since: 28 Jun 2010)
The veneralbe Nokia N8 also has a 12MP shooter. The difference is its sensor is relatively massive at 1/1.83, versus the rest of the field which is operating in the 1/3rd range. Coupled with more precise optics (Carl Zeiss), a properly spec'd Xenon flash and tailored algorithms....this is what makes the difference...not simply the number of MegaPixels.
I'm sure, at least I hope, Apple has more up its sleave than a simple megapixle increase. Based on its recent track record in this area and ability to invest, I suspect this is the case.
17. xperiaDROID (banned) (Posts: 5629; Member since: 08 Mar 2013)
They may be using Sony's Exmor RS Sensor, or they're may be using Nokia's PureView! :P
50. akki20892 (Posts: 3901; Member since: 04 Feb 2013)
nokia never give their tech to anyone.
it's unique tech from nokia so.
18. opensourceftw (banned) (Posts: 148; Member since: 01 Jan 2013)
Wow. Maybe they can put more than 3 options in the camera menu. Seriously, I was unfortunate enough to get a demo iphone 5 and it literally has 3 different "settings".
22. Droiddoes (unregistered)
Too bad it will be attached to an iphail.
24. byazatt (Posts: 269; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
Apple iPhone 5 camera already shines in many aspects ..low light will really be a plus. How I wish Samsung followed the same path.
39. Stoli89 (Posts: 333; Member since: 28 Jun 2010)
If Apple installed a single lens OIS, like HTC One, I bet the low light performance would improve materially. They can't do the Nokia route due to patents, but the more conventional HTC appraoch is also possible.
25. byazatt (Posts: 269; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
come to think of it, this low light thing might be software based because if they are using Sony's Exmor RS Sensor,then I doubt the hardware is wired with real low light potential like say HTC one or lumia 920.. just thinking.
26. BigBoss10 (Posts: 273; Member since: 31 Aug 2012)
12 MegaS H I T :D
27. shamataa (Posts: 215; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
If you people think Apple will do this you are not a smart person. Just saying from past history and collect it and brainstorm it.Why would you take low light photos anyways?.
28. quakan (Posts: 1373; Member since: 02 Mar 2011)
Well, think about why people haven't taken many low light photos....got it yet? Because they don't have a camera optimized for such things and their photos always turn out too dark or look unnatural with the flash on.
34. TheBitterTruth (unregistered)
And then they will call it innovation and sue Nokia and HTC :D
36. boosook (Posts: 1436; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
LOL... Apple is chasing competitors now. But there are only two ways to improve low-light performance: 1) use a bigger sensor (or a lower resolution), and 2) use an optical stabilizer.
The Nokia 920 uses (2), while the HTC One uses both (1) and (2).
These solutions are hardware-based. There is also a third way, which is only marketing gimmick (a software-only solution): a sort of night mode that pumps up the sensitivity (ISO). Something tells me that Apple will choose this last option, will give it a name like "Digital Stabilizer" and will try to market it as equivalent to hardware solutions...
38. Stoli89 (Posts: 333; Member since: 28 Jun 2010)
Actually, the HTC's sensor is not any larger than the compeititions here. Only the indivudal pixel size is larger (2 micron versus 1.4)...but this is not as impactful as an overall sensor size increase.
37. Stoli89 (Posts: 333; Member since: 28 Jun 2010)
Unless Apple increases the physical size of the sensor, I can't see how an increase to the new 12MP spec will have a material benefit to the consumer. It only serves to address a perception gap, nothing more. It may, in fact, push beyond the limits of the 1/3rd sensor and degrade performance relative to the current 8MP shooter. To really get a benefit, Apple would need to introduce a larger sensor...but that would imply moving away from its thin/design mantra.
43. yero789 (unregistered)
The iPhones have one of the best camera's on the phone!I mean it's sensor is made by e Sony,but Sony's smartphones have such a bad cameras(well it's not too bad,but compared to iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S3 or S4,they are pretty poor.I hope Sony will fix this soon!And the iPhone with 12mp camera would be great! :)
48. ryq24 (Posts: 722; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
12mp is useless if it does not have a 5" screen!

MIX: Gary Hamel's experiment in reinventing management the open source way | Opensource.com
MIX: Gary Hamel's experiment in reinventing management the open source way
Of all of the people talking or writing about the future of business right now, no one has more street cred than Gary Hamel. I've written about him many times before, and his book The Future of Management is one of the most inspiring and meaningful business books of the last 10 years.
Last year at the World Business Forum, when Gary called open source one of the greatest management innovations of the 21st century, there was some serious high-fiving going on amongst us open source business types.
So I've been watching closely as Gary and a team of management superstars have launched an open innovation experiment called the Management Innovation Exchange, or MIX. In the video below, Gary explains a little bit about the goals of the MIX.
Here's how they describe the MIX on the website:
"The Management Innovation eXchange (MIX) is an open innovation project aimed at reinventing management for the 21st century. The premise: while "modern" management is one of humankind's most important inventions, it is now a mature technology that must be reinvented for a new age."
From spending some time on the site, it clearly shares a lot of the same foundations as the open source way, even if the MIX folks prefer the term open innovation.
One of the most wonderful bits? The MIX is a meritocracy, where anyone can join, submit management hacks, stories, or barriers, and then collaborate with others to explore the ideas further.
It's not just the same management experts writing and the rest of us normal folks listening. We can participate, and if we contribute good enough ideas, we may even get some recognition in the community (and no one is going to ask to see our Harvard diploma!).
I'm a meritocratic guy, so I got right in there and submitted a hack of my own (check it out!). You should too. In fact, if you go to this page and submit a hack or a story, you may be eligible for what they call the M-Prize—the world's first management innovation prize.
If you win, you may find yourself on stage at the World Innovation Forum next year speaking with the likes of Seth Godin and Michael Porter. Nice!
The MIX website has been up for a few months now, and it looks like there are 2-3 new hacks being put up each day. What's more, all of the work on the site is licensed under a Creative Commons license, which is awesome (although they chose the "no derivatives" version, which is less awesome, and perhaps a bit misaligned with the vision of the project to me).
Overall, there is a lot here to love. I'll leave you with a quote from the section of the site exploring the principles of the MIX entitled "Everyone wins when everyone shares":
"The MIX represents a pioneering attempt to use the open innovation model to help accelerate the evolution of a critical social technology—management. Rather than struggling in isolation to reinvent the processes and practices of management, MIX members can leverage the expertise and insights of a global community of like-minded innovators. The success of the MIX hinges on the willingness of its members to share their ideas and experiences, which depends in turn on a belief that more can be gained by sharing than by hoarding. Truth is, there's a lot more management innovation going on in the world at large than in any particular organization. Thus the MIX gives every progressive management innovator the chance to share a little and learn a lot."
Reinventing management through sharing rather than hoarding. Sounds a lot like the way the open source way reinvented software development to me.
Brilliant. Let's watch (or better yet, participate) and see what happens next.

This is an awesome site and I agree it has much in common with opensource.com. I find in talking to people from other fields (and having just finished my MBA at UNC Chapel Hill), many people are embracing open source ideas without necessarily realizing it. The open source principles, I think, are appealing to people innovating in management, who have never worked in, around, or with open source technology. In fact, a lot of people I've met who describe to me open source concepts in regards to management, have never heard of Red Hat, or think "open source" is just giving away free software. Does that matter? I think Open source has definitely transcended its origins and the concepts are just becoming part of progressive management thinking....
Nice work jumping in to the MIX!
Thinking of open source development and collaborative invention for management principles, maybe we could even extend it to create some method for collaborative development of government principles too?
Or even collaborative forms of government itself? (Collaborative development of laws, and such things, open for real to everyone with a good idea. Not just electing politicians or voting for various proposals.)
I'm not sure exactly how to do it, though. That will require more thinking...
The idea of extending open source "principles" beyond software development is a large part of what this site explores. I'd love to see more articles on that in the government section, for sure. Maybe one of you would be a good person to write it!

Oops, something didn't work.
Thanks for brining the Async love to the Express editions! I will be putting it to good use as soon as MIX is over. Pretty excited!
This is awesome stuff! Can't wait until I can use things like this.
Sound is really off, and the video seems to jump around a bit.
The video and audio are Async [hronized]! How fitting!
Nevertheless, great video! Looks like PowerPoint is a pretty powerful debugger, you may be on to something...
@Taz.0: Weird... Will look into this.
The audio sync issue should be fixed now...
Great to hear Async has made it to WP7. Kudos for all the hard work.

Dairying Down Under: It's a Friesian
Dairying Down Under: It's a Friesian
"Wow, the Holsteins here are smaller than the ones back home!" I said while walking to work with a co-worker.
"You must be American. Those black and whites are Friesians, not Holsteins."
This was one of the biggest shocks I have had here in Tasmania. I did not know that Holsteins had another name. Turns out Friesians are nothing more than smaller Holsteins that are better suited to a grass-based-diet. Back in America, I am more familiar with the large Holsteins that seem to dwarf my small frame. But, here, I can see over all the cows, and most of them only come up to my ribcage.
In my beginning dairy science class, I was taught that one of the most important ideals on a dairy farm is production. More milk means more money. In Tasmania, average milk production per cow is less than it is back in the United States. I do think it is important to note that most of the dairy farms in Tasmania run as a pasture-based system.
An advantage of this grass-based diet approach is that most of the cows feed is grown on the farm, and requires little preparation. I still do not possess the ability to look at the grass and understand its nutritional value. Sometimes, my boss and I will walk around the pasture, and he will ask what I think of the grass. I will get down on my knees to have a closer look. I only see grass, while my boss will do the same thing and give a fully analyzed description. Simply by glancing at the grass he can tell if it needs additional fertilizer, more cows to clean up the extra spots, or if the grass needs to be divided into smaller pastures. I never knew grass talk. It is simply amazing!
The herd at Shoestring is a third mix; one part Friesian, one part Jersey, and the rest are cross-breeds. The Friesian Holstein breed constitutes nearly 70 percent of all the dairy cows in Australia. The next most popular breed is Jersey, followed by Australia's own breed, the Illawarra. To be honest, I had to look up what an Illawarra was, and I eagerly look forward to my first meeting with one. Most of the breeding in Australia is accomplished through artificial insemination. Similar to the U.S., Australian farmers have access to some of the best genetics in the world.
Tasmania is home to 140,000 dairy cows, which is third in Australia, behind New South Wales and Victoria, for total dairy cows. The dairy industry in Australia continues to grow, with a production value of $3.4 billion, ranking third behind beef and wheat in agriculture commodities. It is estimated that 40,000 people work on dairies and manufacturing plants in Australia.
Turns out those little Friesians are pretty important. I'm glad I found out it wasn't just a Holstein, but I may start calling the cows back home Friesians, just to see my classmates' reactions to the Holstein's second name!
This is the fourth feature in a series of articles written by Anna Gibson, a Washington State University Student, who is working on a dairy in Tasmania, Australia.

Obamacare can teach us a lesson
November 16, 2013
"If you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period" is destined to become one of the most important statements ever uttered by a president of the United States....
A****..poor Hildy can't take the opposition. grow up lefties. Your whining is getting tiresome.

The ownership of the Intermountain should have a Republican and a Democrat,or two politically neutral writers submit a 200-300 word piece regarding Affordable Care and other topics. Thus we would get a small lesson in history and current events without the subjective,often monstrous statements . The writers should be asked for their submissions and should sign their names. Obviously, these requirements would bring about courtesy and ordinary respect,lacking in some of the comments which we read .

I think after Nov. 17th hearing's this Obamacare will be thing of history. The one in charge says it's still 70% incomplete fixing the web site, the pay distribution part apparently was never touched by the IT company's who built it in the first place. This will not be ready by Dec 30, let alone Nov 30. But why should that surprise anyone, anything the government does is very costly and extremely poorly done.

Well get ready for the NEXT Obama problem with his failed, lying huge taxation called Obamacare!
Now not only will insurance cost you triple what you WERE paying; NOW....he's removed the list of doctors you were seeing so now you may not even be able to 'continue' seeing your doctors you've been seeing for years. He wants to DICTATE 'who' you see now.
We can only hope that the idiots who voted for THE Idiot don't make it to the polls next time.
Enjoy your hope and change little lefties....you're now 'hoping' it's not true that the "change" is triple taxes, triple insurance premiums, triple unemployment, triple gas prices, quadruple utility rates. Hope you idiots are happy now as you start moving back in with your parents, losers!

The Affordable Healthcare Act is based on Republican demands, and the health care insurance corporations needs. It should never have been called Obama Care. He ,Obama does not sell insurance and does not cancel policies.He is truthful ,honest, but is misquoted, excoriated for trying to make insurance rates affordable here where they are the highest in the civilized world.

I take photos of my children on the same day every month. .You can see previous month photos here.
*Updated! The referring link for the 1 Millionth visitor was Ruhiyyih's Reflections!
one MEEEEEELION?
I would have thought you'd have hit that mark a very long time ago.
You'll always be one million in my book.
One million! So cool.
And the pic? ADORable as usual! :)
those are awesome pictures!!ReplyDelete
Congrats on a million!
I've always enjoyed your first(or whatever)-of-the-month pictures of your cutie pie kids, and look forward to another year of them!
Luv, I meant to start my monthly family photo project on January 1 and totally missed it (in a fit of exhaustion from hosting/feeding people 10 days straight). This is inspiring me to just start whenever. Maybe just shooting for once a month, even if it's not on the same day!
Congrats on one million! I really should look at my stats once in a while -- I have no idea where I'm at with that. :-)
i love these. just makes me think of our family pictures...me...surrounded by all of my big brothers. :)ReplyDelete
So cool to have one million hits!
And I forgot about the first of the month, too. Where has time gone?! I think time passes so much faster as you age. When I was 8, time drug on like you wouldn't believe. Now I blink and half a month will have passed me by. Maybe as adults we are all too aware of time. Children never seem to be bothered by time. Maybe that's the key ;)
ugh. i did that the other day about something...just couldn't grab a hold of it & was so frustrated!
love those kiddos.
What I hate most is when I come up with a good idea, write something down and then later the prompts do nothing to help me capture the idea.
And one million...how awesome!!
seeing these angelic faces is just the medicine I needed to feel better today.ReplyDelete
i can't get over ivy's eyes. they are just piercing!
congrats on the millionth hit-and many many more to come! you know i always come back to visit!
Squealing for you about your one millionith hit! That's awesome!
Great picture of your kiddos, too. Such a beautiful bunch.
I'm glad you didn't just post the "that'll do" one because they are all so perfect. Cute, cuter and cutest. When Ivy and Peabody marry and have babies, everyone's eyes in the whole world are going to turn bright blue.ReplyDelete
Sweet bebes! I can't tell if Ivy looks like any of the boys but all of your boys look SO much different from each other. Don't you think? Obviously they look like they belong in the same family, since they do, but they look very unique from each other.
I love the pictures of your babies! They just warm my heart :) And that whole thought thing happens to me all the time. I think it is because there are too many thoughts in my head that they're just moving out of the way for the next one...it must be exhausting to be my brain!ReplyDelete
LOVE the pictures! Ivy's eyes are out of this world gorgeous! Such beautiful children!ReplyDelete
what a great idea!ReplyDelete
Would you look at those cuties!!! Gotta totally love them!!!ReplyDelete
Your kids are so gorgeous...and getting so old. Beautiful!
P.S. I love the new look.
Your kids are beautiful!
That losing an idea thing, and then trying to figure out what it was has to be a mom thing. I totally started doing that after I had my daughter!
aw, what a sweet and happy bunch! and hmmm, tomorrow is the 5th, perhaps i should post a photo of my five :) i will see what i can work out!
have a lovely day!
p.s. one million visitors is wonderfully rad!! as are you, friend.
Nice pix, Steph, and congrats on hitting one million. Wow! Did Ivy get her grandpa's eye color or what?!?ReplyDelete
love the pics ... and the idea! congrats on the million! that's wonderful. so happy for you! =)ReplyDelete
Wow, so crazy cool to hit one million!! And I love that you take photos each month of the kids; I REALLY have to get on doing that and just make the time on the calendar so I don't forget. Maybe once the baby gets here it will seem a little easier to remember, since his age will be counted in months again....:) Take care and congrats!ReplyDelete
One MILLION! That's so exciting!!
I just added you to my must read list ;)
I promised myself I was going to do this starting this month and I forgot! I will have to take a pic this afternoon and call it "January Five". ;) And then you'll remind me next month right? Just kidding... I just love this idea and will love looking back, I know...
And ONE MILLION?!? Woah! So awesome!
Wow - congrats on one million!
I love the 2nd picture with Ivy looking lovingly at her big brothers - just precious.
I'm so in love with these photos -- esp. Ivy's oh so serious face, with all those boyish grins!ReplyDelete
You've also inspired me to do a once a month photo shoot :) Here's my first entry!
Wow - Ivy's blue eyes really POP! Is she the only one of your four w/ blue?
Also, I notice that Noah only wears his glasses in some of the photos. Does he only wear them at school or for distances? Also - how long has he had glasses? (Just curious...our 4yo has had glasses for about 4 months now).

Men add JC standout Mike MacKelvie
Related Links
A 6-4, 190-pound wing, MacKelvie comes to UAA from Eastern Arizona College, where he averaged 10.6 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals over his 2-year career. As a sophomore in 2011-12, he shot 46 percent from the field and 71 percent from the free-throw line to help the Gila Monsters to a 21-10 record, a top-20 national ranking and a spot in the NJCAA Region I playoffs.
"We have followed Mike since high school and are excited that he will become a Seawolf," said Osborne, who has currently guided UAA to two straight NCAA Div. II Tournament second-round berths. "His strength is as an athlete who can attack the basket, making him a perfect complement to our other wings. He is also an excellent offensive rebounder and has the size to be a very good defender in our system. We're looking forward to having him in the program the next two years."
The Wilsonville, Ore., product had a storied prep career at his hometown Wilsonville (Ore.) High School, earning First Team All-State and Northwest Oregon Conference Player of the Year honors as a senior in 2009-10. MacKelvie left WHS as his school's all-time leader in rebounds (451) and steals (182), along with single-game marks for points (33) and steals (9), and the single-season scoring record (496 pts/17.1 ppg) as a junior. An 11-time varsity letterwinner in three sports, he was also an all-state selection as a receiver and defensive back in football.
MacKelvie becomes the fourth member of UAA's 2012-13 recruiting class, joining high school signees John Erickson (G, 6-4/185, Sisters, Ore.), Jalen Little (PG, 5-10/160, Colorado Springs, Colo./Sierra HS) and Collin Spickerman (F, 6-9/205, West Linn, Ore./Jesuit HS).
UAA plays in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference. The Seawolves posted a 23-7 record last season, earning their second straight NCAA Tournament 2nd Round appearance and finishing No. 16 in the D-II top-25 poll.

Columbus Short was arrested for public intoxication Friday in Dallas, Texas, police confirm to PEOPLE.
The former Scandal star was booked after allegedly fighting with security at a local bar called Katy Trail Ice House, according to an employee.
A worker says the bar employs off-duty police officers, and Short, 31, "got into an issue" with them at about 2 a.m. Saturday.
"He was uncooperative with police," the employee says. "It was a minor issue. He was verbally assaulting the police."
Short's lawyer and manager did not immediately return requests for comment.
The incident is the actor's latest brush with the law. Short, who will not appear in the hit ABC show's fourth season, faces a spousal battery case stemming from his estranged wife's claims that he threatened to kill her in April. He also pleaded not guilty to felony battery in May after allegedly punching a man in a restaurant.
The victim is suing Short for $1 million and filed papers in L.A. on Monday alleging he was knocked unconscious by an "unwarranted and cowardly 'sucker punch,' " according to Entertainment Weekly.
In April, Short told PEOPLE he was using his legal issues as motivation for his music career.
"To be honest with you, I'm feeling raw, focused, vulnerable and in a perfect place to write great music," he said. "God's been preparing me for a long time to deal with this season of my life. Being able to have thick skin is something that is needed."

5 Disturbing Old-Timey Ads Obviously Created by Aliens
Thanks to Mad Men, we assume that all old-school advertisers had one hand wrapped around a highball and the other on the pulse of America. But if you look hard enough, the actual advertisements of the era suggest otherwise. Instead of hitting the heights of sophistication, plenty of vintage ads demonstrated a barely passing understanding of what humans look like or how their bodies work. It's almost like there were whole advertising offices infiltrated by aliens pretending to be humans and these ads are what they threw up at the end of the day.
It's only in looking back that we see how hilariously the alien admen failed. For example ...
#5. Human Laughter Doesn't Look Like That
Don't you hate it when you hear a great joke while simultaneously eating a golf ball? Isn't it the worst when someone makes an oil painting of your stupid face as you're choke-laughing? Doesn't it make you mad when the person painting your picture is famed Americana illustrator Norman Rockwell, and also when three members of your family are surgically grafted to the back of your head?
I'm going to stop asking these questions, as the head waves of acknowledgment are starting a hurricane and my house is ill-prepared for the wind onslaught.
This girl knows what I'm talking about.
Today, we're so quick to hit the camera's delete button that our most unflattering pictures are gone before our brains can even register them. Raucous laughter only counts if it's photogenic, because who wants a record of that time their face made 14 chins? This is why it's kind of weird that old-school advertisers thought disquieting images of people laughing would sell their products. Not polite chuckling. Not pretty smiling or, God help me, smizing. These were wide-eyed, open-mouthed guffaws that are unnatural to anyone outside the dentist's office.
Listen up, kids! This sexually charged rock song is HILARIOUS!
Like the word "Foghat," nothing in the ad above makes sense. The little girl looks like the TV farted in her face, and the boy has got to be playing some amazing game that couldn't have possibly existed at the time. The dad is either reliving some 'Nam shit or doing something dirty with an invisible lover. Either way, inappropriate.
I can understand the instinct to associate a product with fun and hilarity, even if the execution is an unmitigated mess of contorted faces. What I can't understand, and will never understand, is this:
Canada Dry
Imagine Don and Peggy presenting this drawing to the Canada Dry people: What's really going to sell your drink is a cross-eyed, double-chinned redheaded kid having a stroke! And heeeeere he is! (Produces illustration/simultaneously cleans up the vomit in the conference room.)
I've been trying to make this exact face in the mirror for 30 minutes, and all I've learned is that it's physically impossible and that ginger ale can go back to the hell it came from.
#4. Ads Shouldn't Horrify You into Buying Something
Look, I work on the Internet. I get the instinct to shock and tittylate the masses for attention. Sometimes you get readers with cheesecake (tittylating), and sometimes you get them with scary ads that would have worked better as advertisements for my nightmares. For example, check out this ad with this sexy lady in her red velvet cake of a car.
Judging by the scale, this is the world's fanciest semi.
Why, hello, princess. This vision in your grandma's nightgown is looking for a man to wrap his hands around her faux wood wagon wheel and drive her around town, all sexy-like. Maybe if the man is lucky, the two can make some stains on that red-ass velour. Except, no, take a step back and you'll see why a late night rendezvous with Madam Snuggie would never happen.
There in the skylight is the hovering head of a man who has no reason to be there, other than to assert his authority over his lady and you, the consumer. So who was this Thunderbird ad targeting here? Women who wear their pajamas out on the town, or the strange men who float over them? That was a trick question. The answer is lady Klansmen who forgot their hoods.
As ominous as this ad was, at least the Thunderbird people had the good sense to put a beautiful woman in their coffin of a car. You might be scared or confused, but you don't start crying as soon as you see it. Australia's Teenagers Weekly magazine had no interest in offering you such comfort.
Teenagers Weekly
Not since Twilight have teenagers gotten such terrible treatment. Notice the dinky tassels flaccidly hanging off the monsters' heads and how they seem to be sporting Superman logos on both cheeks and foreheads. If you've ever wondered what it would have looked like if Canada had invented luchadores, there you go. Speaking of Canada inventing weird things ...
#3. If You Can't Convey Human Emotions, Pull a Shatner
CBS Television Distribution
If approximating subtle emotions like joy and not-being-horrifying was a challenge for the aliens who took over the advertising industry, imagine how tough it must have been to convey actual pain without overdoing it. Also, let's pretend for a minute that their only model for emotional range was William Shatner, because that makes sense when you see what happened next.
Johnson & Johnson
Ben-Heeeey ... what is this?
I'm no medical historian, but has there ever been a time when chest colds left naked men writhing in pain while clawing at their own bodies as if they were trying to get the sickness out via fingernail scratches? Even if the answer to that question is "yes," was this face necessary?
I say "no."
NEVER MIND the tiny angry man wearing a bowler hat and a maybe-diaper on this guy's chest. And let's not even talk about what the tiny man appears to be doing with that rope. (J-wording off.) I don't know. Maybe if I had a baby man acting like that on my boobs I'd make that face, too.
Hey! Do you remember that time Moe from the Three Stooges brushed his hair back to shill liability insurance in the most dramatic way possible? Probably not. Here's a refresher:
American Mutual Liability Insurance Company
Moe insurance, moe problems.
That's not really Moe from the Three Stooges. I just thought that if you're going to gaze into the sad eyes of an actor who sold his dignity for the scraps of money he made from this insurance ad, it might as well be someone I'm familiar with. It was a toss-up between Moe and that guy I pushed off some scaffolding that time, since he was making the exact same face. If tortured faces thrashing in agony don't push a product, maybe illustrations of domestic violence will. Have some delicious Kellogg's corn flakes!
Fake corn flakes, moe problems.

Deputies said the motorist's blood alcohol content was measured at .26 percent, more than three times higher than the legal limit. He was charged with DWI and several traffic infractions.
At 3 a.m. today, Deputies Simon Biegasiewicz and Michael Okal arrested Sasiya M. Davis, 35, of Buffalo, after she was spotted driving erratically on Peckham Street near Fillmore Avenue. She was charged with DWI, several traffic infractions and driving with a suspended registration.
Police said Davis refused to take a breath test to determine her blood alcohol content.

The opera opens at the home of courtesan Violetta Valéry, who is throwing a raucous party. One of the guests, Alfredo Germont, is introduced to Violetta and reveals that he has loved her from afar for some time, which Violetta laughs off before asking him to lead the party in a drinking song. The guests leave to dance, but Violetta is too weak due to her affliction with consumption, and Alfredo stays behind with her. Alfredo promises to love and care for her, but she makes clear that she only lives a life of pleasure. After he leaves, Violetta is somewhat overcome by his tenderness, but she resolves to stick with her earlier declarations.
Act II
Alfredo and Violetta have been living together happily in the countryside for three months. Alfredo discovers that Violetta has been selling her possessions in order to finance their household and he leaves for Paris to raise money. Germont, Alfredo's father, arrives unexpectedly and asks Violetta to end her relationship with Alfredo, since it jeopardizes his daughter's upcoming marriage. Violetta eventually agrees and decides to return to her life as a courtesan. Alfredo returns and she reassures him of her love, even as she is departing for Paris. She leaves a note for Alfredo, informing him that she is returning to her former patron, Baron Douphol. Germont tries to reassure his distraught son, asking him to return to their home in Provence, but Alfredo vows revenge and leaves for Paris.
Act III
Alfredo arrives at a lively party thrown by Flora Bervoix, a close friend of Violetta's. Violetta and the Baron soon appear, having reunited. The Baron challenges Alfredo to a card game and loses a great deal of money. Alfredo tries to get Violetta to leave the party with him, but she refuses. Angered, Alfredo summons the party guests and throws the money he has won at Violetta's feet. The Baron challenges Alfredo to a duel.
Act IV
Violetta is mortally ill. Both Germont and Alfredo travel to Paris in order to see her, but Violetta wonders whether she will live until their arrival. Alfredo rushes in and they declare their mutual love. Alfredo begins to describe a new life he has planned for them away from Paris, but it is obvious that Violetta's death is imminent. Violetta gives her portrait to Alfredo, with the hope that he will think of her even after he finds someone else. After a final moment of strength, she dies

"The best folk band to have come out of Scotland in the last twenty years" New York Times
"The best band of their generation" (The Living Tradition)
"A band with the potential to dominate the Scottish/Irish traditional scene for the next twenty years" (Fatea Magazine)
Since being awarded the title of "Best Up and Coming Artist of 2009″ at the MG Alba Scots Trad Music Awards, The Paul McKenna Band have gone from strength to strength touring extensively throughout USA, Canada and Europe. In 2012 Paul was named "Scots Singer of the Year" and the band nominated for "Folk Band of the Year" at the same awards ceremony.
Combining their love for Folk and Traditional music, as well as original songs and tunes; The Paul McKenna Band from Scotland has been captivating audiences with live performances of their potent original compositions and arrangements at both home and abroad.
Concert highlights of 2012 include performances at The Edmonton Folk Festival Canada, Celtic Connections Glasgow, Summerfolk Canada and Fylde Folk Festival England. 2013 began with a sold out show at the world famous Celtic Connections in Glasgow and with a new album being released in the summer the band will be returning to Austria for their second tour there as well as dates in North America and the UK.
With a contemporary approach to songs, although not straying too far from their roots, their arrangements are both fresh and innovative. The exciting sound of The Paul McKenna Band is created through outstanding Vocals, driving Guitar and Bouzouki, intense fiddle playing, a warm pairing of flute and whistles and dynamic bodhrán and percussion.

Abebech Gobena: A profile in compassion
08 March 2009
by Tewedros Ayele
Besides institutional care and the support of orphans, Abebech Gobena's organization has started different developmental activities in rural and urban areas. (WVW)
Abebech Gobena is the founder of Ethiopia's oldest orphanage. (WVW)
Wollo, Ethiopia:
The world marks International Women's Day on 8 March. This is a story of a woman who truly exemplifies the sprit of volunteerism.
Abebech Gobena's life is testament to the fact that a woman's truth cannot be bought or sold. Indeed, if she holds her ground, the world can change.
Ms. Gobena is the founder of Ethiopia's oldest orphanage, and her accomplishments stem from an act of faith. She was on a pilgrimage to Gishen Mariam in the Wollo region of Ethiopia, an important site in the Ethiopian Orthodox faith. The area was famine stricken, and on her way back home she found a baby lying next to her dead mother, at a feeding centre.
She picked up the baby and brought her home. She subsequently brought a second baby home, who was lying next to his dead father. In one year's time, she brought home 21 children. This simple act of love grew.
She increasingly brought home more children and raised them using her own resources. Her husband soon divorced her and her husband's family disowned her. As you listen to her tell her story, she describes the reasoning behind the divorce as her "unusual actions".
In retrospect, it's hard to call bringing a baby home, who would have died, unusual. Would it not be more unusual to not bring the baby home? Once you let love inform your actions, the difficult part becomes stopping it. Where do you draw the line between one too many and not enough?
Abebech Gobena's life shows what happens when you do not stop the love. The number of children soon became 200, and in 1988 Ms. Gobena received a permit to raise the children as orphans. Her unusual actions have grown into six different branches of the
Abebech Gobena Children's Care and Development organization
, with over 12,000 children under her care.
Love is revolutionary. We often constrain it to very narrow dimensions and separate it from our work. However, when individuals integrate it in all they do, the world changes. This takes commitment.
When asked about commitment, Abebech replied: "Commitment is everything to me. The first thing I did to start with was to commit myself fully. My vision would have gone nowhere without commitment."
"I had no idea as to how to proceed," she continues, "but I was sure that the only way forward was to work hard with the children in order to be self-supportive. During those six years, I sold all my gold ornaments. I tore all my dresses and re-sewed them into children's sizes. I didn't have any sewing machine in those days. I stayed twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week with them."
Abebech Gobena also teaches us what happens when your commitment, as defined by faith, is uncompromising. In modern times, many commit to money and personal success. However, commitment to a greater good outside of yourself is what the world needs right now.
Natural disasters and wars serve as a reminder that greed is killing us. It's women like Abebech Gobena who will save us.

Can you define these popular missing words?
(rush-AUN) The urge found in males to have a sexual relationship with a female. Closely related to hormones, though it is more likely to start with roofies, and end in a sore ass, and an itchy rash.
"Yo man, that bitch denied me three times last month... It's about time to Rashaun her ass!"

Teaching is a noble vocation but it can be physically and spiritually draining, whether the teacher is in a Catholic or public school. Teachers in the Catholic schools have opportunities for spiritual renewal, but what about the Catholics who teach in the public schools? Many of those public school teachers are dedicated men and woman who also spend their weekends and evenings volunteering in our parish religious education programs. That is remarkable generosity.
To recognize and spiritually renew Catholics who give witness to their faith, not by proselytizing but, rather, by being a presence and example in the public schools where they teach, the Archdiocesan Catechetical Office annually offers events just for them.
One of those events is coming up at the end of the month. A one-day retreat experience for Catholics who teach in public schools will take place on Thursday, Sept. 29 (a public school holiday), at Maryknoll in Ossining, N.Y. It will be led by a priest who certainly has the credentials to speak to teachers. Msgr. Dermot Brennan, retired pastor of St. Patrick's in Yorktown Heights, has on his resumé ten years of teaching high school students. His theme is "Becoming a Saint in a Secular Age." We all have it in us to be saints; teachers may be closer to that than most people.
The fee for the retreat is just $25.oo per person.
If you are a Catholic teaching in a public school and would like to come, learn more here. Or, if you know someone who is, please pass on the invitation.

I'm in the beginning and middle stages of a whole bunch of new things, many of which are exciting to one degree or another. I'm a colossal dork, so I use the Project Name Generator to categorize projects in ways I'll (hopefully) remember. I use Trello to keep track of the different stages and (again, hopefully) keep myself on track.
Some of these projects are purely internal and self-contained–new class ideas, new assessment ideas, and the like. Others will (once again, hopefully) see the public light of day in some way. I like code names because they're fun, but also they allow me to talk about things publicly (like this) without giving too much away. There's no legal reason why I shouldn't talk about these things too much, but I'm becoming superstitious in my old age and don't want to jinx anything. So, here's a brief rundown.
- OPERATION LEMURIA is a project so utterly secret and potentially cool that I'm barely allowing myself to think about it. If this works out, it will become public in some way in the Spring.
- POSEIDON DREADED is a conference paper which is not–surprisingly–about Doctor Who. At least, not directly.
- STEAMY FREAKY PARACHUTE is a nifty little set of very brief history writing gigs.
- SWIFT WOODEN JUPITER is a paranormal/history themed project.
- RANDOM ANACONDA is not on the list above, but is a course re-development/updating project I'll be working on in the Winter semester.
I need to get back in that habit of using this site as a place for keeping track of what I've been doing with my work-related time. Stay tuned.

Democrats encounter challenge within Senate
March 9, 2013
WASHINGTON — After a surprising string of victories last fall, Democrats now face a challenging terrain as they look to hold onto their Senate majority in 2014 and prevent Republicans from gaining......

You ask, "Who has led on important issues?"
Senators Paul and Lee have. Senator DeMint had until he resigned. I think Senator Rubio has shown some. Senator Cruz seems to be there, but has only had a few weeks. Senator Coburn has shown leadership on reducing the budget deficit.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I could not agree more about Sen Coburn. He is a good one. I could not agree less about Sen Paul, he is a clown. I do like alot about Rubio, but jury is still out. I know little about Lee. But again, you are right about Coburn. He is the real deal and has shown great leadership. Kudos.

Just out of curiosity, why do you say that Senator Paul is a "clown"?
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Well, the latest was that filibuster clown act that he pulled to hold up Brennan CIA appointment. Even McCain and Graham said as much. Not the filibuster itself or even questioning drone policy, but questioning if Pres Obama would use drones to kill political foes. Clown!
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Clown? Really? President Obama already has used drones to kill American citizens without a trial or due process on foreign soil. Is it really a stretch to think he wouldn't do it here--especially after the White House, Holder, and Brennan wouldn't give a straight forward answer?
I was very grateful that Senator Paul stood up to the W.H. to filibuster. And, that Democratic Senator Wyden (OR) joined him. Now, even Senator Feinstein and others are wanting to clarify the policy.
To me Senator Paul showed a lot of leadership when Obama and others weren't.
0 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
As Sen Graham said, Paul's questions were "offensive", "cheapened the debate" and "did not "deserve an answer" . Sen Paul's isolationist views would make Sen Burton Wheeler blush.
1 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
You and Senator Graham are in a small minority in your viewpoint among conservatives, liberals, and libertarians.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
To be sure you understand where I am on this ...I commend Sen Paul for an actual talking filibuster, and for seeking clarification on drone policy. However, we makes "unfortunate "When statements implying that the President would ever use drones to murder political foes that "cheapens the debate". I do not think Sen Graham or I are in the minority on that. And Sen Paul, just like his father, and the isolationists of the 30s are out of touch with modern foreign policy.

Repost from FSUniverse
From Michael Martinez' Facebook:
Thanks everyone for your support and prayers.
Thank you to the Philippine Skating Union for their continued support .
Thank you to SM Prime Holdings for their financial support.
Thank you to all my coaches in the U.S. & Philippines !
Its official, I will represent the country in the 2014 Winter Olympics
In Sochi, Russia !
Congrats MCM!
Sad for Chris Coluza. Michael should try for a Jr title!
Never will I ever go down without a fight!!! Believe that, know that, TAKE THAT!!!!!
6:18 PM - 7 Oct 13
Thanks, DobrinFan. I had been wondering what prompted Caluza's tweet.
I think it's the right choice. MCM is the only Filipino who is a native to the country (born and raised), he is 16 so he is the future, has a 3axel, and the potential for more! There was speculation over at FSUniverse that it would not look good for the federation to have sent MCM to Nebelhorn and for him to win a spot only to give it away to a foreigner (Caluza).

quote: Without knowing what that image was supposed to be, you simply cannot conclude that the author's claims (which were related to the precision of some nVidia shaders) were true or false.
quote: SOME TWO weeks back we promised you screenshots to back up a story about a fudge on Nvidia benchmarks.
quote: But since the benchmark's author did not say what the image was supposed to be, for all you or I know, it could simply be the result of running a pre-rendered bitmap through some shader code, using a manually defined mask.
quote: Unfortunately it seems a lot of people like to comment on issues related to pixel shaders without even understanding what a pixel shader is. Pixel shaders operate in pixel space
quote: Saying that "it looks just like a filter was applied in Photoshop, which proves it wasn't a pixel shader" is a demonstration of ignorance
quote: Of course, it's easier to make a lot of noise and vote down posts that point out your ignorance than it is to actually go learn something about it. But the problem with that approach is that you continue to be ignorant.
quote: First, Fudo (who will believe just about anything, and misunderstands half of what he's told) is not the author of the benchmark ..(blah blah blah).. as a way to dismiss (or avoid addressing) that claim.
quote: Second, tons of benchmarks use stock / public domain images that can be found on the web (does the name "Lenna" ring any bells?). Your point was...?
quote: Third, "screenshot" is not the same as saying "a 3D render". Lots of benchmarks include 2D tests, and there is no fundamental difference between running a pixel shader on a 2D bitmap or on a 3D scene.
quote: If, as you claim, you've "had your hands on tons of game code" (more than I can possibly image - whoah! you must be John Carmack's smarter brother), you must know that.

a contradiction in terms. it's a no-brainer.
they went looking for weapons of mass destruction in 2001, that Colin Powell's military intelligence said were there. as a result there are 150k dead civillians, around 12k dead soldiers and 25k wounded, as a direct result of the wars forced on Iraq and Afghanistan. He need have looked no further than any American state.....like Utah or Israel.

The mother of all oxymorons. Also the excuse that Republican presidents use to perpetrate such "just wars" as the current war on Iraq.
"Military intelligence" tells us that whichever country next chooses to oppose the USA is deserving of supreme vengeance.

Thanks for gifts
A tip of the cap to all the students, service clubs, organizations and individuals for their gifts of time, food, money or in-kind donations to make the season brighter for the less fortunate. Please know your efforts will make a difference in their lives.
.. and for detectors
Hats off to First Alert and 1-800-BoardUp for donating smoke detectors for residents of the seneca East school district, and to those involved in collecting and distributing these potentially life-saving alarms. They will provide added security for the recipients; let us hope that is all they need to do.
