text: Hi Chugaluggers, At my public library job in the DC-area, my greatest need is helping youth develop some digital literacy goals and competences. At the computer center which I help run (with 28 Linux stations), the youth are spending way too much time playing games. They're entitled to use their time in whatever way they choose, but as a community, we need to do a lot better giving them constructive goals to work towards in their outside of school time. These goals are particularly needed by youth who aren't receiving sufficient goal guidance in their homes. Mozilla Badges will be really useful for this -- and the new Moodle module for Mozilla Badges sounds like it could be make the whole thing easier to implement. For a very interesting blog post about the Mozilla Badges module for Moodle, see https://twitter.com/iaincheckland/status/293237778156777473 Exploring how the Mozilla Badges module for Moodle could work would be a neat group project for a Linux user group, partnering with a makerspace and public library. If only -- if only there were a city someplace in the United States where relationships between these entities already existed. I betcha some foundation funds could easily be raised for such a project. Not just the local foundation, but the national foundations, like the MacArthur Foundation. phil -- Phil Shapiro, pshapiro at his.com http://www.his.com/pshapiro/briefbio.html http://www.twitter.com/philshapiro http://www.his.com/pshapiro/stories.menu.html "Wisdom begins with wonder." - Socrates "Learning happens thru gentleness." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you missed one of the online EMAC webinars, you can watch it online. We have a number of webinars such as the following:
The four-panel EMAC deployment brochure Being Deployed Under EMAC? What You Need to Know gives the first-responder a background in EMAC and an overview of deployment procedures.
The Preparedness Guide & Deployment Tips for State, Local, & Tribal Public Health & Medical Personnel offers information on essential actions to ensure proper EMAC implementation by the public health and medical communities.
Lexington, KY – The historic flooding in South Carolina has left over 800 people seeking refuge in 22 shelters, 322 roads and 158 bridges closed, hundreds of thousands without drinking water and tens of thousands without power. When communities are overwhelmed states step up to help one another. This is made possible through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), a national interstate mutual aid agreement that allows states to share resources across state lines during disasters and emergencies.
Currently, there are more than 177 personnel from 7 states assisting in response efforts in South Carolina. Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina and Tennessee have provided advance teams, incident management staff, swift-water rescue and search and rescue teams, individual assistance specialists, public information officers, damage assessment teams. Also providing support are National Flood Insurance Program coordinators and National Guard engineering teams for debris removal and road repair, logistics support and coordination officers. It's expected that EMAC support may be needed for some time as the state of South Carolina continues in the recovery process.
EMAC provides critical protections for personnel deployed across state lines to help with disaster response and recovery including tort liability, workers compensation, licensure and reimbursement. All 50 states are members of EMAC as well as the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. EMAC is administered by the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA).
About EMAC
Established in 1996, EMAC was ratified by Congress and signed into law (Public Law 104-321). It is the first national disaster-relief compact to be ratified by Congress since the Civil Defense Compact of 1950. All members must pass state legislation approving their participation in EMAC. The compact is administered by the National Emergency Management Association (NEMA).
For more information on EMAC, please visit the EMAC website at http://www.emacweb.org.
NEMA is the association of professionals dedicated to enhancing public safety by improving the nation's ability to prepare for, respond to and recover from all emergencies, disasters and threats to our security. NEMA is an affiliate organization of The Council of State Governments, headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky.

No. 13 Men's Volleyball Completes Season Sweep of IPFW
MUNCIE, Ind. - The No. 13 Ball State men's volleyball team completed the season sweep of I-69 rival No. 12 IPFW Tuesday night with a 3-1 win (19-25, 25-18, 25-19, 25-23). Ball State ended the night with 10.5 total team blocks led by senior middle attacker Matt Leske's two solo blocks and six assisted blocks. Three Cardinals tallied double-digit digs led by junior libero David Ryan Vander Meer's 17.
With the win Ball State improves to 13-5 on the season and 5-2 in MIVA play while IPFW falls to 13-4 on the year and 4-3 in league action. The win is the sixth in a row for the Cardinals. The last time Ball State completed the season sweep of IPFW came in the 2011 season when Ball State took 3-0 and 3-1 wins.
Sophomore outside attacker Marcin Niemczewski led the offense with 13 kills while junior outside attacker Shane Witmer added nine. Senior outside attacker Larry Wrather and senior middle attacker Kevin Owens each tallied seven while Leske registered six. Owens hit .500 on the night only committing one error on 12 swings.
Defensively, Vander Meer led Ball State with 17 digs while Wrather and Witmer got under 10 digs apiece. Witmer's 10 digs matched his season-high set earlier this season in the first meeting with IPFW. The junior passed 33 balls without committing a reception error while Wrather passed 14 balls without an error.
Senior setter Graham McIlvaine tallied 36 assists on the night and was one dig shy of a double-double with nine. McIlvaine also added three kills and two aces.
Leske headed up the blocking for Ball State with eight total blocks while Owens chipped in a solo block and an assisted block. Niemczewski added four blocks to go with his eight digs.
The Mastodons controlled the beginning of the first set jumping out to a 9-5 lead before the Cardinals called a timeout. Consecutive kills from McIlvaine and junior outside attacker Matt Sutherland cut the IPFW lead to 18-16 causing the Mastodons to call a timeout. IPFW managed four consecutive points off the serve of Eddie Rivera to take a 23-16 lead. Ball State would drop the set 25-19 after hitting .133 (9-5-30) for the set to IPFW's .343 (17-5-35).
Ball State started the second set with a kill from Leske followed by an IPFW attack error. The score would remain close but three-straight points from the Cardinals would cause the Mastodons to call a timeout down 13-9. Ball State would continue to charge ahead in the set winning it 25-18 off three kills from Leske and Witmer and two from Niemczewski and Wrather. Ball State improved its hitting percentage from the first set and hit a .476 clip (12-2-21) to IPFW's .031 (11-10-32).
The difference for the Cardinals in the third set proved to be its blocking as it had five and a half total team blocks to the Mastodons' two. Niemczewski hit .429 for the set earning five kills off seven swings. IPFW had six service errors in the set coupled with eight attack errors. Ball State took the set 25-19.
Owens led the way for Ball State in the fourth set with five kills while Niemczewski added four. Vander Meer had seven digs on the set while Witmer added five to help the Ball State defense. The Cardinals jumped out to a quick 10-5 lead forcing the Mastodons to call a timeout. IPFW would come back going on an 8-4 run to cut the Ball State lead to one at 14-13. Consecutive kills from the Mastodons would tie the set at 15-all. The set would be tied four more times headed down the stretch including at 23-23. A kill from Owens gave the Cardinals a match point opportunity that led to a kill from Wrather.
The Cardinals outhit the Mastodons .240 (47-17-125) to .173 (54-27-156) and held the advantage in digs (55-54) and aces (4-1).
IPFW was led by Andrew Sellan who ended the night with a match-high 20 kills and 12 digs while Eddie Rivera added 13 kills. Omar Rivera tallied a double-double with 46 assists and 11 digs.
Ball State returns to action at Worthen Arena this weekend hosting Lees McCrea and Harvard on Saturday, Mar. 15 and Sunday, Mar. 16. The Lees McCrea match on Saturday will begin at 7:30 p.m. while the Harvard match on Sunday will begin at 4 p.m. Check ballstatesports.com for more news and information on Ball State men's volleyball.

Tuesday, July 22, 2014
Over a year ago, Briar the loggerhead sea turtle was found covered in barnacles, stranded on the coast of Myrtle Beach. Extremely underweight and anemic, it was soon discovered she had cataracts and surgery would have to be done to remove her damaged eye lenses. Her survival was questionable.
Now, Briar is wading through the ocean. She has returned home.
After making a full recovery at the South Carolina Aquariums Sea Turtle Hospital, Briar was released back into the Atlantic Ocean off of the Isle of Palms shores on Wednesday. Residents of all ages came with signs, shouts and cameras to bid farewell and capture snapshots of the sea turtle as she crawled her way into high tide. For many attendees, this was their first time attending a public sea turtle release, let alone witnessing a live sea turtle.
It was really unique ... I was doing it to bring the kids, and it was kind of long waiting for it, but it was worth it, said Kayla Hall, a first-timer for the turtle release.
She was stunned by Briars size, comparing it to that of a dinosaur.
Kate Dittloff, the Public Relations Manager for the South Carolina Aquarium, described Briars support from the community as extremely heartwarming.
For some reason, everyone has some sort of connection to sea turtles, Dittloff said while smiling.
Its not every day that you get to see a sea turtle in person, especially if youre just visiting the Charleston area. We really hope they walk away with a greater appreciation to protect our oceans.
Loggerhead sea turtles have remained under close surveillance since being deemed threatened under the Endangered Species Act of 1978.
With their nesting season underway, efforts to ensure their safety are being made as frequently as possible.
If you find a sick or injured sea turtle, contact the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources Sea Turtle Hotline at 800-922-5431. Donations can be made to the South Carolina Aquarium Sea Turtle Rescue Program at the website at www.scaquarium.org.
With admirable efforts on Briars behalf, the community can ensure, as one child stated, that the rehabilitated loggerhead has returned home and wont be coming back.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. - Dogma for a Tahoe resident is to never worry about the time, keep a snow shovel handy, expect to see friends whenever visiting a grocery store and own a dog.
The final aspect of the doctrine can be enhanced with a book, "The Dog Lover's Guide to Lake Tahoe," which has been hard to find in recent years. However, a third edition has been printed and distribution begins with three book signings by author Susie Ramsey and cover model Hank, a handsome Bernese mountain dog with a broad white blaze from muzzle to top of the head.
Ramsey and Hank will be at Uncorked in Tahoe City from 6-7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 14, and Saturday, Dec. 15 at two locations: from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Dog Dog Cat in South Lake Tahoe and 5-6 p.m. in The Bookshelf at Truckee.
Hank will display a "Swiss kiss" and offer his "pawtograph," an ink-stamped impression of his foot.
"We figured that would be better for the floor of whatever place we were at," Ramsey said.
Previous editions of the book were published in 1999 and 2003. The latest includes updates of Tahoe businesses, hikes, places to swim and photographs.
Ramsey now resides in Boulder, Colo., where she publishes a newspaper. She also has brought back The Tahoe Dog, which will be published twice a year. The winter-spring 2013 edition has a skijoring feature and more articles, which are hardly doggerel.

I'm not one of those people who is too proud to shop at a dollar store. In fact, I'd probably fall into the "avid fan" category. Not only are the prices impressive, but often dollar stores carry items that I can't find anywhere else. Here are the top five things on my shopping list, but don't be surprised if you walk out of the dollar stores with more than that.
Kitchen basics
When I lived in a dorm in college, the Dollar Tree was an absolute haven for my roommates and me. For just $1 each, you can find cutting boards, measuring cups, cooking utensils, plastic food storage containers, zip baggies and even ceramic plates, mugs and bowls. It's perfect for any college student or bachelor(ette) on a budget.
Cleaning products
Many of the cleansers at the Dollar Tree work just as well as some of the name-brand stuff. If you're a stickler for labels, try buying those products at Family Dollar or Dollar General. They won't be as cheap as a buck, but you'll likely spend less than you would anywhere else.
For example, Family Dollar has 100-ounce jugs of Gain laundry detergent for $10 and a three-pack of Lysol disinfectant wipes for $5 this week. Things such as dust pans, scrubbers and spray bottles are a great deal at the Dollar Tree, but you're better off finding items such as brooms and mops at Dollar General or Family Dollar.
Health care and first aid
I go through quite a lot of ibuprofen each month, so it's a must-buy at Dollar Tree for me. Forty 200 milligram pills for a buck is just unbeatable. While I'm at it, I try to stock up on first aid items such as bandages, antiseptic ointments and rubbing alcohol. Always check expiration dates.
Personal hygiene
You can find pretty decent toothbrushes and Colgate toothpaste for $1 each at the Dollar Tree, but I like to shop at Dollar General for most of my other personal items.
The name-brand makeup and facial cleansers tend to be at least $1 cheaper than at drugstores, but when labels don't matter, I love to go for Dollar General's store brand stuff. For example, I'm a huge fan of St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub, usually about $4-$5, and Dollar General's version is only $2 and works great.
Party essentials
The Dollar Tree has an entire aisle dedicated to party planning. You'll find plates, cups and napkins, centerpieces and even banners for many occasions. It's also a great place to find gift wrapping materials. And when you need greeting cards, check out the dollar stores first for the best price. Both the Dollar Tree and Dollar General had two-for-$1 deals this week.
As you've probably gathered, dollar stores are best for basic items. Also, it's easy to get overwhelmed in a store with so many good deals. Make a list of things you actually need before taking the trip.

Your water meter can be a useful tool in the effort to increase water efficiency in your home. You can use your water meter to determine how much water you are using on a daily basis and to detect slow leaks.
Check out the How to read your water meter page for detailed instructions on locating and reading your meter.
Important note: Some water utilities encourage customers to read their own meter while others prohibit opening the meter box and tampering with the meter in any way. It is a good idea to check with your utility before examining your water meter.

Enroll Now!
A job well done, informative and rewarding. Looking forward to more.
Fabulous course-- can't wait for Class 3!!!
I feel this course gave me a great base knowledge for taking the CompTia A+ tests. I plan on taking the hardware class next.
Love the course, things come to light after repetitive reading and the deeper one delves into the lessons and other materials, I'm sure to be a decent tech.
The Intermediate A+ Certification broadened my understanding of how operating systems work. I suggest that people who are interested in becoming A+ Certified take all three courses.
This course is very well organized and has the necessary structure to keep "independent study" students progressing steadily. This course, like the basic course, achieves the impossible by making it possible for students of many different computer backgrounds and experience to have both a uniform standard of computer technical knowledge and still be able to pursue those areas of computer knowledge particular to their own interests. I think this course and the basic course are most useful to those students who understand that they must invest some of their resources in both hardware and operating system software to gain the practical knowledge essential to be a computer technician. I look forward to the advanced course.
This has been a great experience for me! I can't sit in a classroom anymore, so this is perfect for me.
This was an excellent course! As are all of the courses I have taken with Prof. Jernigan.

Glee fans are likely to get choked up over a new promotional photo for the upcoming season, which premieres Thursday.
"The hardest word to say is 'goodbye,' " says the caption alongside a close-up black and white picture of Cory Monteith.
Screenwriter Ryan Murphy Tweeted the image on Thursday, giving a first look into the new season without Monteith, though the show will feature a tribute episode.
Audiences are still getting used to the idea of Monteith's absence, as is the Glee cast, Jane Lynch told PEOPLE recently.
"I think that grieving comes in waves," she said. Lynch added that her heart goes out to Monteith's girlfriend and costar, Lea Michele.
"I know it's just been brutal for her," she said. "I never lost a boyfriend when I was 26 years old."
Catch the Glee premiere – "Love Love Love" – at 9 p.m. ET on FOX.

Small-town politics still is entertaining
November 9, 2013
What is it about small-town politics that can stir coffee shop conversation, but stop people from speaking to each other? Attend a city council meeting and you might think a referee is needed....
What we need are moral, principled folks running for office; but instead we get the bottom of the barrel types without convictions, morality or scruples. And unfortunately ignorant unscrupulous voters are just as immoral and greedy as these creatures that feed on these voters' characteristics to keep lying to them about 'all the things we'll do "just for your specific group" of people IF you support us. And the sheep stupidly continue to believe the LIAR!!

Let me guess...3 democrats think we DON'T need moral, truthful and honest people in office. lol. What a surprise; crooks love crooks.
I'll take a wild guess and say it was What, Nellie and Walker. Liberals are so brainless.

Editing and adding Wikipedia articles on women of note
What I learned while editing Wikipedia
I was introduced to the Wikimedia movement primarily as a communications consultant for Wikimedia Foundation's first Global South project that began in India in 2011. My work with the Wikimedia Foundation and editing Wikipedia has helped me take a hard look at myself as a woman of colour from India in technology.
After my initial stint with Wikipedia editing, I increasingly realized that the English version of Wikipedia lacked articles on Indian writers, famous personalities, cultural artefacts, and more. The problem is multi-layered and includes poor coverage of everything relating to non-western societies as well as to women within those societies. Once, I created article on Wikipedia about an Indian, female writer named Bama. She is from the lowest caste community called Dalits in India; and while the author is a celebrated writer of stories on the subject of double oppression (which is oppession of women by people of higher castes and oppression by men within their own communities), Wikipedia almost naturally had no record of her work. Sadly, within minutes of my creation of her article it was nominated for deletion. I then quickly added more references while simultaneously starting a discussion about why it should not be deleted. At that point, another Indian editor jumped in and helped with the explaination; the next day the deletion tag was removed.
Similarly, many articles on crafts and oral traditions that we tried to create as a part of our GLAM activity at the National Crafts Museum in Delhi underwent gruesome scrutiny because they were clearly not the usual subjects of Wikipedia additions and editing. This abysmal gap motivated me to start editing almost only just to fill these lacunae. Since then, I've also created articles on violence against women and female authors from India. My commitment only grown and gained momentum to do what I see as helping Wikipedia fullfill its mission to be "completely open and free."
The question I ask myself now everyday is whether merely enabling access through infrastructure and providing free platforms like Wikipedia can help us resolve uneven digital geographies created in the process.
As part of the Women in Free Software and Culture in India group, I recently led a hackathon group to edit sexual violence out of Wikipedia. The group is a voluntary organization of women working in free software in India; we have a corresponding mailing list where we share news, have discussions, and organize events. One member of the group is a free software consultant who identifies as transgender. She is trying to educate people about transgender rights, including living and pay conditions, and supports the transgender community by being open about her sexual orientation. About her role and outlook on women in free software: "I have been looking into building ground level feminist perspectives into free and open source software (FOSS) to make the FOSS space more inclusive, expand it and free it from the impositions of the patriarchy. Towards this I have tried to educate quite a few FOSS and other activist groups on aspects of gender inclusiveness, diversity, combating sexism, micro-aggression, and rape culture."
Through my work with the Wikimedia Foundation, editing Wikipedia, and becoming a part of that Wiki-verse—as well as through conversations I've had with many women in technology at conferences like AdaCamp—I've realized that it's not only gender but also a configuration of other identities like race, class, and colour that emerge as players in the dynamics of groups working on collaborative projects. For some they are obstacles, for others they are interesting aspects that enrich the process.
I also believe that there is a solid need to re-articulate these differences of gender, colour, discrimination, and most of all, the privileges given to bridge the gender gap. It is obviously not a question of allocating more resources to women but also of striving to create safe-spaces and the necessary support structure that can help women resist personal attacks, hostility, and confrontations without having to appear more masculine or justify their existence in open source and free knowledge communities.

It is not surprising that with billions of people on-line, when any idea/view gets published, there will be people who oppose.
Whilst I may or may not agree with this political non-technical article, I think it is unfair to:
1. Push political views on a website that purports to be about technology.
2.Use click-bait to attract readers about Wikipedia and waste people's time who may not want to read about politics.
Feminism is just as much a trap as any other -ism. If you go looking for a fight, you'll find it.
That's not just "editing out" what YOU don't like, the person who put up the "delete" flag was just the same way editing out what THEY don't like.
Making the intellectual leap from _preference_ to _accuracy_ is a huge leap, one which most people cannot accomplish. They treat that which they do not like as _wrong_.
The problem with that is that no two people's preferences are the same. This is why the only honest -ism is _individualism_, the individual is the atom, everything else is sophistry.
Thanks for sharing sir, I agree to you.
Nice article, Ma'am Noopur Raval.
That would be all very fine if society were, to start with, individualist. But feminists have never existed in a vacuum. Rather, they exist in a situation where their sort of individual is assumed, and to some degree enforced, to be lesser. In your terms, they are not really "feminists" but anti-"masculinists", trying to reach a situation where they would be as free as you to be individualist. You really ought to be on board with that if you're sincere in your general position, and not just using it as an excuse to stay on top as, far from purely individualist, a member of a privileged group.
Mind you, a purely individualist "society" would actually be a horrible travesty, materially impoverished, dangerous, and doing serious violence to our basic nature as human beings. But that's a separate issue.
I'm sorry, what was "accurate" about the first example of an attempted edit? And since when has Wikipedia been about editing according to one's "likes". It is *supposed* to be about gathering and documenting facts in an encyclopedic fashion.
I don't see what relevance *preference* to this post at all.
The most egregious Wiki edit I saw was the deletion of an episode list of a daytime TV show in the UK. Millions of viewers. Although apparently not as "notable" as similar lists of Doctor Who or Blackadder episodes.
Thanks for editing Wikipedia! I applaud your work. I have one issue with this article though: when you mention that your article on Bama was marked for speedy deletion, you give the impression that it was because she was Indian, or at least that it was because it was a topic not common on Wikipedia. In fact, it was nominated for deletion because it was a biography of a living person that had no references, as that editor clearly stated.
I count myself among the inclusionists on Wikipedia, but I do understand the ones who want to enforce the standards of reliability and verifiability for new articles, especially BLPs.
You introduced your article with that example, and then wrote, "many articles on crafts and oral traditions that we tried to create ... underwent gruesome scrutiny because they were clearly not the usual subjects of Wikipedia additions and editing".
I agree that, unfortunately, too few people write about them, but in my experience, Wikipedia welcomes topics like these. They undergo scrutiny for other reasons, but not because they are unusual topics. Your leading example is a good case-in-point. You do a disservice to the editors and admins who review these types of new articles, by implying that they are biased against your culture (which, despite what you just replied, you clearly did in the article). I wish you would correct it.
Hi, Noopur,
As I mentioned, I agree that there is too little coverage of these sorts of topics. I think you'd acknowledge that at least part of the problem is that: A, there are too few editors like yourself who edit about these topics, and B, it is hard to find good source material. So, I'm not sure if you're suggesting that Wikipedia's policies on reliable sources should be loosened for some topics, or not. At any rate, my comment here was about your description of what happened with the Bama article, and that you imply that there was resistance to include it because it's an unusual topic, and imply that there's a bias against Indian culture within the Wikipedia community. I don't think there is; I think we would *love* to get more articles like the ones you describe.
So, again, I applaud your work!
The whole point of Wikipedia is that anyone can add information and help expand its usefulness as a reference. So the author is simply following the intentions of the designers by contributing to its content.
Problems arise when an article appears about a controversial topic because people have strong feelings about such topics, so the correction process can degenerate into a useless battle between factions with opposing viewpoints. As someone opposed to censorship, I oppose the practice of deleting other people's entries, which is often done just to prevent readers from being exposed to a particular viewpoint. Instead, it would be better to present the viewpoints of all sides and let the reader make his own decisions. This might require all edits to be approved by a moderator or team of moderators, who could ensure that only edits that were uninformative and offensive were rejected, and perhaps clean up grammatical and spelling errors.
It's sad that most of the commenters so far don't seem to get your point. As someone who stopped editing some years ago, exactly for the systemic bias you speak of, I'm really glad to see the work you're doing. Thanks a lot!

Published August 22, 2013
Until Thursday, Silvana C. D'Ettorre had never given a public speech.
That changed in a big way as the UB sophomore and Grand Island native stood before thousands of people in Alumni Arena and welcomed President Barack Obama to Western New York.
"Of all the opportunities I've had as a University at Buffalo student, the opportunity I have today is by far the most amazing," said D'Ettorre, 19, an exercise science major who plans to enroll in UB's School of Dental Medicine.
D'Ettorre, who stayed up until 4 a.m. Wednesday preparing her speech, admitted that she was extremely nervous to speak in front of the estimated 7,200 people in attendance.
"It's a lot of responsibility. I feel like I'm representing UB, Buffalo, my family – it's incredible," she said.
Beforehand, she briefly met Obama in the heart of Alumni Arena. She said he was "very calm."
"It was like meeting a cool dad," said D'Ettorre, who received a hug from the president as he walked onstage.
During her speech, D'Ettorre said UB is a prime example of a "low-cost, high-quality" education. She praised the university's Finish in 4 program, in which students pledge to graduate in four years and UB commits to providing them the resources they need.
"Personally, knowing that I have guaranteed graduation after four years makes me completely comfortable that I will not have any additional unexpected loans, especially during a time of increased college costs," she said.
D'Ettorre, who said that several of her family members are UB graduates, spoke after UB President Satish K. Tripathi kicked off the president's historic visit by noting that UB "is deeply proud" to host Obama. Tripathi spoke of his upbringing in India and how he dreamed of attending college in the United States and becoming a teacher.
"I want to ensure that U.S. higher education continues to be the destination of choice for students from across the globe for generations to come," he said. "At UB, we create spaces where people of diverse perspectives and backgrounds can come together to discuss the critical issues we face as a society."
The remarks were appropriate given that Obama unveiled a plan designed to help reform U.S. higher education. Obama pledged to introduce a valued-based rating system of colleges and universities to help students make the best choice of where to attend; develop a system that rewards colleges and universities for keeping their costs low and quality of education high; and new tools to help students repay existing college loans while keeping future loans from becoming too expensive.
D'Ettorre, who will become a student ambassador this fall,
praised Obama's commitment to higher education.
"I greatly admire his passion in ensuring that everyone – regardless of family income, gender or race – has access to an exceptional and affordable education," she said during her speech. "With that, I am so proud to introduce you now to the President of the United States, Barack Obama."
I am so very proud of Silvana's smooth and effective remarks today in introducing President Obama to the UB campus.
You'd never know she was operating on fumes.
I'm thankful my son and she will both benefit from UB's new Finish in Four initiative as sophomore members of the Undergraduate Academies.
Kudos to you, Silvana! Now go get some well-deserved rest before fall semester starts.
Diana Weaving
For someone who has never given a public speech before, she did very good! You should be proud of yourself, Silvana!
Ania Perkowska

A 66-year-old Randolph school bus driver is in the Chautauqua County Jail without bail, following his arrest on felony sexual-abuse charges involving a child, authorities reported.
John Hitchcock has been charged with multiple counts of sexual abuse of a minor, reportedly involving a juvenile male, last fall. He was arrested Friday.
"The District placed Mr. Hitchcock on administrative leave when this matter was first brought to our attention and it was immediately reported to police authorities," school officials stated on their website. "To protect the integrity of the police investigation, the District cannot provide further comment at this time."
Randolph sits on the western edge of Cattaraugus County, but at least some of the alleged incidents occurred in nearby Chautauqua County.

Coin Microscopes
Every aspect of a piece is in clear sight with stereo microscopes
If the proof is in the details, examine your coins with care. Accurate science plays an important role in collection. Stereo microscopes are advanced instruments for the avid collector. At Wizard, you can depend on a higher quality stereo zoom microscope that's sturdily built to support crystal clear optics. Receive the advantages of stereo microscopes with right- and left-hand zoom controls; 10x, 15x or 20x widefield eyepieces, a useful working distance, and beneficial magnification ranges. Minimal focus adjustments are required after any change in the magnification. With the aid of a microscope, most coin collectors, even those who are still developing their trained eyes, see flow lines, die-polishing marks, mintmarks, valuable errors, or counterfeiting. Serious coin equipment is a worthwhile investment for anyone studying coins, diligently collecting, or working in the profession. We make that investment more affordable with savings on sophisticated instruments, as well as on basic wholesale coin supplies.
Coin Microscopes Put Qualities in Clear Focus
Look through the lens of a coin microscope to determine the exact properties and investigate errors. Not every detail is visible to the naked eye or through a magnifying glass. Catch nicks, discoloration, and damage more quickly with microscope magnification. A coin microscope with wide-field eyepieces and upper and lower illumination delivers a sharp image from glass prisms. The stereo aspect of the microscope adds dimensional viewing and depth perception. Our trinocular model is perfect for digital camera applications. Plus, microscope purchases include protective covers and manufacturer's warranties. Though the idea of a rare coin find may be spell-binding, a clear picture of your coin's characteristics is in focus with our special tools, from microscopes to coin magnifiers.

These are sad days for Catechists of the Good Shepherd here in New York, across the country, and around the world. Prof. Sofia Cavalletti, who pioneered a remarkable and highly effective catechetical method called the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd and based it on the principles of education developed by Maria Montessori, died this week in Rome at the great age of 94 years. Dr. Cavalletti and her colleague, Gianna Gobbi, spent more than 50 years listening to and observing children in a special environment, which they called an atrium. What they discovered was that even the youngest children already have a relationship with God and that whatever their physical and developmental capabilities might be, the children can and do respond to the relationship.
Here in the New York archdiocese, the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is the preferred methodology for early childhood and pre-school children. Anyone who has visited a parish atrium and observed the children will walk away with a profound sense of wonder and deepening of his or her own faith.
Read about Sofia Cavalletti and the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd here or visit the Archdiocesan Catechetical Office website. Our director of early childhood religious education, Linda Sgammato, is a qualified catechist of the Good Shepherd and will be happy to tell you more about Sofia and the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd if you e-mail her at email@example.com

At a time when college football generally was considered the domain of eastern blue bloods, Notre Dame and Alabama were upstart teams that gave blue collar fans a chance to tweak the elite.
About 90 years later, the Fighting Irish and Crimson Tide are the elite � two of college football�s signature programs, set to play a national championship next Monday in Miami that could break records for television viewership.
No. 2 Alabama vs. No. 1 Notre Dame. Even casual sports fans understand this is a college football classic.
�I think it�s basically because they�ve won more national championships than anybody else, and they�ve been doing it since the �20s,� said Dan Jenkins, an award-winning sports writer and author who is also the historian for the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame. �Plus they�ve had a bunch of gods coaching them � (Knute)Rockne, (Frank) Leahy, Ara (Parseghian) in South Bend, and Wallace Wade, Bear Bryant and now (Nick) Saban at Alabama.�
He�s right. And to understand just how Notre Dame and Alabama became touchstones for their uniquely American sport, you have to look back to the 1920s, when beating an Ivy League team was a huge deal, and there was nothing bigger than playing in the Rose Bowl.
�Up to that point college football was important but only in the fall,� said Murray Sperber, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who has written two books about the history of Notre Dame football. �The fans tended to be only alumni of the schools and local middle-class people.
�And that was true of Notre Dame before Rockne became coach.�
Rockne was a Norwegian-born former end for Notre Dame, who helped his school to a head-turning upset of Army as a player and then took over as coach in 1918. He was media savvy and intent on turning the football program into a national power. Part of his strategy: turning recent immigrants to the States, many of them Catholic, into Notre Dame fans.
�They had trouble getting opponents, in part because of the anti-Catholicism of the Midwest,� Sperber said.
In 1923 � an era so long ago the nickname �Ramblers� competed with fan favorite �Fighting Irish� in press reports � Notre Dame won two landmark victories that helped cement its place as America�s team.
First, it beat Army 13-0 at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn as its rivalry with the Cadets blossomed into one of the fiercest in sports. The next week, the Fighting Irish won at Princeton 25-2.
�This became one of the great moments for the fans,� Sperber said. �It was Yankee, snooty Princeton against working class Notre Dame. Notre Dame had a lot of first-generation-American players.
�This was played up by the press, and the press loved it.�
Notre Dame was the college football team for the people who didn�t go to college. Rockne became an American hero, with his �Win One For the Gipper� speech (to inspire a 1928 victory over, you guessed it, Army). His death in a 1931 plane crash was a national tragedy, prompting statements of sympathy from President Herbert Hoover and the king of Norway.
Yet for all the mythology and folklore around Notre Dame football, the biggest reason for its popularity was quite basic.
�An absolutely crucial element is winning,� Sperber said.
Few programs have won like Notre Dame. Alabama is one of them.
The Tide made a similar breakthrough in the 1920s under coach Wade. The Tide�s big victory against the Ivy League came in 1922 against Penn.
�Back in those days, Alabama beating Penn was as surprising as if Penn were to beat Alabama today,� said Kirk McNair, who worked as sports information director for Alabama during the 1970s and now runs Bama Magazine.
�It started to put southern football on the map,� he said.
Trips to the Rose Bowl marked the next step for both schools.
The Fighting Irish went to the Rose Bowl in 1925 to play Stanford. The team traveled by train and, as Sperber said, �at every stop there is a public parade.�
Notre Dame beat Pop Warner�s Stanford team, 27-10, and the trip from South Bend was �like a pilgrimage there and back,� Sperber said.
After the 1925 season, Alabama was invited to make the trek from Tuscaloosa, Ala., to Pasadena, Calif., for the Rose Bowl � a decision that was met with derision by some in the media and around college football, McNair said.
Regional pride ran high in those days, when the Civil War was still within memory for some, and there were hard feelings on both sides of the Mason-Dixon line.
In the Northeast, people �felt like there was just going to be a bunch of ragamuffins coming out there,� McNair said.
�In those days southern football was not quite so mean and nasty as it is today, and Alabama was carrying the banner for the entire South.�
Alabama won the 1926 Rose Bowl 20-19 against Washington, went back to California in 1927 and tied Stanford 7-7. The Tide then won three more Rose Bowls from 1931-46, losing one.
When Wade left Alabama, he was replaced by Frank Thomas, a former Notre Dame quarterback who played for Rockne. �That was pretty big to get a guy from Notre Dame even then,� McNair said.
Alabama hit hard times in the mid-1950s but fixed its problems by bringing home one of its own. Bryant played for Thomas in the 1930s and became a coaching star at Kentucky and Texas A&M. Under the Bear, Alabama dominated the Southeastern Conference and won six national championships between 1961-79.
�He was the face of college football,� McNair said.
And Bryant remains one of the most well-known figures in American sports, the houndstooth pattern of his famous hat turning up on just about everything in Tuscaloosa. And you don�t have to be from Alabama � or even from the Deep South � to know �Roll Tide� is more than just rally cry.
But he never beat Notre Dame in four tries. Former Notre Dame coach Lou Holtz said that always stuck with Bryant, recounting a conversation he had with the late Hall of Fame coach when Bryant retired.
�He said, �Aww, Coach, I�ll be the guy that goes down as the guy that couldn�t beat Notre Dame,�� Holtz said. �He wanted to beat Notre Dame so bad, and he could never do it.�
The Irish kept on winning after Rockne. Four national titles in the 1940s, including three under Frank Leahy. Two more under Ara Parseghian (1966 and 1973) and another under Dan Devine in 1977.
Holtz won Notre Dame�s last title in 1988, and two years later, the school inked a television contract with NBC to become the first school to have its own network television deal.
Notre Dame still is the university of college football for many Americans, its symbols and landmarks giving the school a high profile even as its teams stumbled in recent years: the so-called �Touchdown Jesus� mural looming over the north end zone of the football stadium; the golden helmets to match the golden dome atop the administration building. And, with �Knute Rockne All American� and �Rudy,� Hollywood has helped immortalize Notre Dame folklore.
Both Alabama and Notre Dame went through hard times in the 1990s and early 2000s, trying to find the right coach to restore the magic.
Nick Saban arrived in Alabama in 2007, and it�s as if the Bear was back. The Tide have won two of the last three national championships and could become the first program to win three in four years since the BCS was implemented in 1998.
�I know there�s a lot of national interest here because of two great programs that have tremendous tradition,� Saban said as he stepped off Alabama�s plane in Miami. �We certainly respect that on both sides.
�It�s really a special game to be a part of.�
Brian Kelly took over in South Bend three years ago, and like Leahy, Parseghian and Holtz before him, he has a chance to win a national title in his third season � against Alabama, no less.
The Fighting Irish against the Crimson Tide, a marquee matchup in any era.

One of Boston's most famous sons, Mark Wahlberg, said Monday that he was deeply upset by the bombings at the city's marathon, and that something must be done to stem the violence that's increasingly putting innocent lives at risk.
"It's just so upsetting," the Oscar nominee, 41, told PEOPLE at a screening of his new film, Pain & Gain, at the Crosby Street Hotel in New York, hosted by The Cinema Society and Men's Fitness.
"Obviously I've got a huge family and so many family and friends back in Boston. I don't know what exactly happened, and I don't know if everyone's okay. I'm just trying to be here [at the screening] and put on a brave face and just be a professional."
Wahlberg also put Monday's events in the larger context of the violence that continues to plague the U.S. The bombings happened four months and a day after 20 children and six adults were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
"The world obviously needs to change," Wahlberg said, "If you think about all the events over the last couple years, if we can't protect our innocent women and children, then we have a serious problem."

LOCKPORT – Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas on Thursday sentenced Edward D. Brundidge, a serial burglar from Niagara Falls, to 15 years in state prison and five years' post-release supervision for his latest spate of break-ins.
Brundidge, 53, had been sentenced in 1996 to 13 years behind bars for another crime spree. This time, he pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree burglary for break-ins at homes on Orchard Parkway Sept. 30 and Cedar Avenue Oct. 3.
Assistant District Attorney Joseph A. Scalzo said in making the plea deal, he dismissed six other cases and agreed to not to seek a life sentence for Brundidge as a persistent felon.
Assistant Public Defender Michael E. Benedict said of Brundidge, "His [25-year] criminal history coincides with the beginning of his drug use, crack cocaine."

It's a tough call this one...
I've been with Android for the past 3-4 years now... owning both GS1 and GS2 after moving from an HTC Hero (ahhh, the chin..)
And although I've loved every minute of my GS2... I love the ticker news feeds on live wallpapers, the endless widgets, customising every facet from icons to ringtones... I've tried every ROM under the sun from MIUI to Revolution and upgraded to ICS...
And yes, the flexibility is all there, the screen size and quality is all there...
I bought my other half the new iPad a few months ago, and I started noticing the app store more and more... I've always been against apple and it's poor drip-feeding of technology and it's ridiculous, often false claims, and lack of admission when things go wrong... but noticing the quality apps more and more, and seeing just the wealth of apps that are available, that simply aren't on Android - it is frightening... and that's my point I guess... having this freedom is brilliant, but at the cost of actual application / function / developer support...
That's why I'm waiting to see what the iphone 5 brings (it HAS to have at least a 4" screen to be worthwhile...) and then I need to think long and hard...
Yes I love being able to drag / drop files at will on my GS2, playing every video under the sun and music file... and just generally tinkering all day long... but there comes a time when you want the latest apps, the connectivity to others and the freedom becomes less important because it's the apps you support not the phone manufacturer...
I dunno... I do love the GS3, but I worry it'll be too close to the same experience as my GS2 for another 1.5 years...
18. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
"experience" wise, the SGS2 was a weight reduced lamborghini. It was meant for speed and didnt really have many options that added to the actual android experience. Compared to the SGS3, which is more like a 1200hp bently. Still insanely fast but now is chock full of cushy features that give it an experience above everything else out there.
Will it be enough to upgrade from an SGS2 to an SGS3? Thats up to you. Your not the target audience, however. People upgrading from the SGS1 s well as people new to android are. And as an SGS1 owner, I can tell you that I am rip-roarin ready to go with this phone. It has all the power and enhancements I wanted and a lot more.
I would have been happy with another weight reduced Lambo.. having all these extra bells and whistles makes it even more intriguing.
21. fongy (Posts: 41; Member since: 09 Feb 2010)
You know, I never thought about that... that I'm not their target audience... you're probably right though...
Oh no! WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE ME!?!?
In mobile limbo...
I guess I'm GS4's audience!
I wish Sony would do a Play 2 - I'd be so up for that, to be fair I should have bought an original play and then upgraded to GS3 from GS1!!
30. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
lol. yea, the upgrade audience is every OTHER generation. :)
no... you in a mobile Lambo. :) Go fiddle with some ROMS. I've been doing that for quite a while waiting for the SGS3 to drop.. lol

I can see what you mean, but remember - apps matter only so much. Remember that all the information apps give you can also be acquired via the web - and on Android - unlike on the iPhone - you can access ALL of the web.
Yes, the sole fact that developers tend to support iOS more than Android is a sad and disturbing fact, but remember than Android is open source. A lot of the stuff is done by tech enthusiasts sitting in basements.
In the long run - we can all live with a several-week delay of yet another Angry Birds space season holiday HD special edition.

i have the new ipad, i think your views will change once you use the iphone 4 or 4s. yes it has the apps but how many apps do you really use? and give it some time android picks up just about all the best apple has to offer.
the only thing that i love about apple is itunes. i just like the fact that all the songs i have are categorized named and album covers are attached automatically without manual input
however, the slow os, the inability to multitask and the sheer amount of forces closes kills the phone. the battery life on 3g is a total joke.
in two years android has closed the gap. the gs1 on froyo was a mess. however the updated android market and tighter integration has really helped android even on my cruddy sprint xprt i think is on froyo works wonderfully. its underpowered and lacks roms or kernals yet it gets the job done and the battery life is stellar compared to the battery sapping of the 4s. i have used the verizon version and sprint. i simply did not get as many forces closes as i did on my normal iphone 4s or jailbroken version.
the ipad is a totally different story. my ipad kills the android tablet. i have a xoom 2. however in a year or two when people begin using lte enabled tablets and computers. android will have caught up.
i guess it just comes down to know. do you want something that works and has the best support now go apple. if you want total customizability, optimization, and patience android is the way to go
65. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Dude, I definitely know what you mean. I was deciding between the SGIII and the One X, but decided to go ahead with One X since it was already out and also because I had 30 days to return. I really loved the phone until I started purchasing applications.......and then I hated it, lol. The applications are obviously no optimized well for each android phone, and its pretty annoying. The graphics on a lot of the apps are low quality, the apps can be "clunky", and I thought that having a bigger screen would mean more content but sometimes all you get is GIANT LETTERS and a lot of space in between..... looks so tacky.
I'm so ready to jump ship, but I still feel like Android is sorta half-baked. Widgets are cool (definitely not a killer feature though) and I loved how I have access to the file system like adding attachments to emails, but I just don't know if I can get over the simple things. The low quality images on a great screen really irks me (I tried hard to ignore it), my images not displaying right in the mail client pissed the hell out of me (I never had to worry about things like this on the iPhone), the clunkiness in general was a surprise. I thought by now Android would be "smooth as butter" like many people say. It's not. I definitely understand the appeal for Android, but I guess its not for me either because I stress over the fine details too much.
I'm not going to lie, trying to jump ship (again) really made me appreciate my iPhone. So I'm in the same exact boat as you. Two weeks ago I was over iPhone but now I'm right back to where I was before, so obviously Apple is doing something right. Its either iPhone 5/6 for me or keeping my iPhone 4S, possibly (but not likely) the buy SGIII and make it my 3rd attempt for Android in the past year. Apple don't let me down please, lol.
But if you liked the SGII a lot, you'd probably also like the SGIII.

E.N. remember that Android is a platform which spans hundreds of different devices, which have several different resolutions and specs. Of course there is going to be a bit of a mismatch between what you download the first time, and what you actually expect to get.
That's why Android allows you to redeem your purchase within 15 minutes after purchasing the app, and get the money back, should you choose to do that.
It's like a PC - you can't just install everything and expect everything to work right away. If an app displays low res textures - (an issue which was present in late 2010\early 2011 on iOS as well, until developers updated apps with retina graphics) - that means that the developer hasn't yet updated the app with the HD resolution graphics. Give it some time. Or - try something else. Or - try finding some insane tweaks like running two apps side by side (it's possible on the Galaxy Note 10.1, maybe someone made a tweak out of it).
I have an iPhone 4. At first when I bought it - I also began downloading hundreds of seemingly cool applications - only to discover a year afterwards that I never use almost any of them. Currently I have about 60 apps installed. On a daily basis I use only Facebook, Waze, 1 -2 news Apps and iBooks. That's it.
I too bought the iPhone 4 and not an Android phone back at the time thinking that I'd rather have this cool unlimited choice of apps - only to discover a year afterwards what a horrible mistake I've done. Apps don't matter much. Personalization, control over your phone, capability and power - these do. So yeah - iPhone might have an "app for that", but Android can do "that" natively, or with some tweaking.
Btw which e-mail app did you try to use that you got the images not displaying right? This happens to me as well sometimes when I use the Mail app on the iPhone and I get a mail with widescreen images inside.
68. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
You mead excellent points, but I think you highlighted perfectly where we differ. I don't spend time customizing with widgets, changing to live wallpapers etc etc. I get a ton of emails, and need something that works well. iPhone definitely has its problems but not enough to make me want to pull my hair. It kinda ironic because I had problem viewing images in such a big screen when they displayed perfectly on my iPhone's small screen. I used the stock mail browser on the One X. I searched the other options in the play market but they looked pretty ugly & super basic.
The browser is kinda of a joke too. Why is switching tabs such a pain in the One X?!?! lol. Clunk, clunk, and more clunk. You definitely gain a lot by going Android, but you lose a lot too.
The whole "give it time" argument is probably the most annoying reason to stick with Android. Let me know when it finally gets there, then I'll switch over for good, but not a moment before.
Based on the spec review of the SGIII, it looks like a pretty legit and high-end device. The camera on the SGII was pretty good so the SG3's camera should give the 4S a run for its money. Still don't think I'm buying the phone though.
69. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Well if you're really heavy into mail - why not use Gmail? As for the stock e-mail client - have you tried using your mail on an iPhone? Did the experience differ?
When it comes to switching tabs on the browser - it's Sense. Afaik stock android or anything else uses a different method. Besides - you can always try another browser.
I think you just happen to have the "iPhone" mentality. Can't blame you if you've used an iPhone for a long time before. Maybe you are used to accepting what you get out of the box, and not used to being able to completely change and tweak that. That's understandable. Took me awhile too to realize that I could do so much more with the iPhone if only Apple would have allowed me to.
Btw - I really think that Sense is rather iOS-like when it comes to function over flashiness. It has all these "cool" 3D effects and such, but that's just flashiness.
In short - you really gotta understand that Android is a constantly evolving and changing platform which allows the user unheard-of power over his\her device. For every app which looks ugly - there is one that looks good. For every app which has limited or buggy functionality - there is one that is perfect. Just like in the App store. You just gotta find it.
You can't just start using the device and expect everything to work perfectly for you out of the box, because you have certain tastes and requirements while other people have theirs - and that's fine. Unlike Apple which tries to force-fit a uniform one-size on everyone and if you want something different - you can't have any - Android is like a clothing shop - you gotta try this and try that and try a lot of stuff - until you find something which fits you. That's the whole beauty in it.
70. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
The mail app was the last straw, it wasn't the only problem. And I'm not new to Android, I do my research. I know just as much about Android as you do, possibly more. Don't you think I looked up possible alternatives? I'm not some new smartphone user who just happened to buy an Android and doesn't know how to use it. Also I've already considered using Gmail as my only email and having all my other inboxes sent to gmail, but I decided against it.
And no, I don't have "the iPhone mentality." I've tried jumping ship twice, which says something in itself. I'm am though, use to things working well out of the box and I think that's an expectation everyone should have. I think there's beauty in not having to look for alternatives and having an option that works perfectly out of the box. I don't consider "beauty" as having to find your way through a load of junk. I don't know where you come from but I call that bullish*t, lol.
You're the one stuck in some sort of disillusioned mentality. It's fine if you want to customize blah blah blah, but everyone's different and I don't share the same desires.You're sounding pretty damn preachy, and no offense but its kinda annoying now.
71. ilia1986 (unregistered)
Well I still don't understand what the actual problem is. You say that some images display incorrectly in the native e-mail app on Android. Aside from the fact that there are alot of alternatives - the same can also happen on the native iPhone mail app as well.
You complain about browser tab switching on the One-X - but as I've said - there are many many alternatives to that, from using a different browser, to using a custom Rom.
You say that you like for things to work well right off the box, but thing is - this is subjective. What's good for you, is hell - pure hell for me. Yes, for me, seeing all these YouTube videos about widgets, tweaks, themes, customizations and control - and the looking at my iPhone 4 is more than enough to make me want to pull my hair. Somehow I'm not bald yet.
You may have found something that works for you well - iOS. And that's fine. Maybe you don't like meddling in all these tweaks and customization options. That's your choice. But remember - some day, some time, you will get tired from this constant static grid of 4x4 icons. Just like I did. And then you might - might - regret that you jumped ship.
I've already made the mistake of buying an iPhone 4. Unless Android somehow dies in the future (which won't happen since it's open source), I will never make the same mistake again. No matter how many "amazing", "revolutionary" and "magical" features Apple will steal from other companies and shove into it's next iPhone models.

i only wish that samsung went for a 12 mpx camera instead of 8mpx, besides that, its a great smartphone
10. ffaarrooqq (Posts: 65; Member since: 26 May 2011)
I totally agree with you. Rite now I'm usin 12mp phone, so I am lil worried to go back for 8mp.
16. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
for the 10 millionth time, MPX mean NOTHING. Its about quality of the hardware and software, and every initial review says the SGS3 has it in spades. MPX is nothing but the actual size of the picture... and unless your planning to make full sized large pictures, you will never have a use for it. Its a mind game.
24. sadaivadai (Posts: 156; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
It also helps in ZOOMING .
32. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
and tell me how much zooming you do that needs it? the current high magnifying just isnt enough? Honestly, there comes a point when maybe you should just buy an actual digital camera. lol
37. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3756; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
Zooming will never be good when a gizmo provides you only a digital zoom!!
So, if you're all into the zooming frenzy...get a binocular...that can get you a snapshot!!
38. Evil_SaNz (Posts: 259; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
Again, here's an example: it's said that a digital camera should have around 80 megapixels to compete with an analog camera: however, we're happily making photos with 12 MP and noone is crying for low resolution compared with analog photos. If we passed to digital so easily, it means that the loss of resolution is acceptable while costs are reduced and usability is improved.
Unless you're making photos of stars and insects, megapixel is probably the last criteria: lens>sensor>software>...>resolution (if>1920x1080)
Sammy improved the first three criterias, according to the first gathered data.
Resolution it's a gimmick for photo ignorants: ask ANY photographer.
If you don't want to see pixels after 100x zooms, then buy an analog camera.
55. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Digital zoom? It's like cropping the picture, you lose a lot of the original picture's quality! Go make some research before posting s**tty comments.
57. DigitalBoy05 (Posts: 218; Member since: 04 Jun 2011)
additionally having the extra pixels crammed into the same space on the image sensor causes more "noise" in the photos... true story
60. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
compare N8's pictures and other 8mpx. And don't tell me you don't see the difference.
51. baldilocks (Posts: 743; Member since: 14 Dec 2008)
Megapixels have nothing to do with picture quality. When will people realize that?
6. sid07desai (Posts: 290; Member since: 03 May 2012)
The white looks more shiny and classy compared to the blue one. When I buy, if I buy, it'll be the white one.
8. ffaarrooqq (Posts: 65; Member since: 26 May 2011)
white looks great in front. But the backside of the white phone dont look so good. It looks like cheap plastic shine.
12. fongy (Posts: 41; Member since: 09 Feb 2010)
Let's be honest, who isn't going to buy a back-cover for this phone? You'll never see it!
19. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
dunno why u got thumbs down, its true.. lol. There will be a case on my phone 3 seconds after purchase.. then again, im going with blue. :)
23. fongy (Posts: 41; Member since: 09 Feb 2010)
lol! absolutely!
I can't imagine every buying a brand new handset and not putting in a case immediately...
26. sadaivadai (Posts: 156; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
Now please stop this "adding case to the phone , so design is not important" . Do you guys think all other OEM's concentrating on designs are stupids and only Samsung is intelligent .
Just accept the fact the Samsung is not able to make a well-designed phone and SGS3 is not bad but still not anything innovative .
You guys are becoming Samsung she*ps trying to justify or give reasons for the negative points in SGS3 .
29. Xquisite (Posts: 87; Member since: 23 Apr 2012)
People will stop with the "adding case to the phone" when people stop with the "the back is so ugly omg."
Seriously, I've never known ANYONE with a smart phone who didn't use a case.

You're a random person on the internet, I don't know you. So it still stands. I don't know anyone with a smartphone that doesn't use a case.

80. ffaarrooqq (Posts: 65; Member since: 26 May 2011)
same here.
33. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
first off
Design is in the eye of the beholder. Just because you dont like it doesnt mean others wont.
The design isnt bad, it looks just like an American Hercules/Skyrocket SGS2 with a central button. Guess what, in real life people LOVE the way it looks. Its minimalist to focus your eyes on a that big screen. Its on purpose.
Plastic, love it or hate it, is extremely durable and light weight. Im not a fan of the ultra shiney coating they put on the phone, but its a minor inconvenience.. especially since the large majority of people put on cases.
Its not about one manufacturer being smarter than the other or people being some sort of sheap because they dont feel as strongly about it as you do.. which is a ridiculous argument anyways..
its reality. Most people put cases on phones. So if you dont like the looks, buy a case, problem solved.
I dont think the design is beautiful or ugly. I think its purposefully minimalist to show off the screen. HTC does have some of the nicest designs, but dont u dare drop it or you will be behind the iphone guys in the screen repair line.
Say what you want, but SGS phones take a beating without breaking.
44. fongy (Posts: 41; Member since: 09 Feb 2010)
As if we're all so shallow that we use a case for aesthetic reasons alone...
Take a look at an iphone 4... now drop it... doesn't it look fantastic with all those cracks along the back and front?!!
It's for protection more than anything...
(which in itself kind of defeats the argument for glass / metal)
Honestly, I accidentally put my GS2 in the washing machine a few months ago... dried it out... works perfectly and not a scratch on it... I'd love to see what happens if an iphone, etc. went in the wash... I'm sure it'd turn out to be one hell of a well-designed paperweight...

If design wasn't based strictly on personal opinion the you'd almost have a point.

even if you dont like the shiny gloss i bet that a 3rd party matte back cover will be available...i have a 3rd party metal back on my s2 which adds a bit of weight and makes the phone feel great in the hand but i stopped using it as it affected the gps signal strength...what am saying is if you dont like the back there will more than likely to alternate back covers for you to buy.

yeah white look fine on anything.... UNTIL it gets well used, and starts to show all the dirt, scratches, etc... hey even the *most* careful user eventually gets it... :(
dark colors mean they just don't show the dirt.. no *wincing* every time you put you phone down, grab it with dirty hands, even miss a call because you cannot pick it up due to hands covered with pastry, cheese, etc, etc.... :/

Nice round up daniel. Thanks for getting rid of a lot of the crazy fanboy whiny crap that inhibited all the initial reviews.

A gonnie is a person who is mentally challenged, they struggle to do many simple tasks. It can be hard to spot a gonnie as their exterior is normal, however, delve a little deeper and participate in a conversation with them and their true gonnieness is quickly revealed. Common signs of being a gonnie range from general slowness, being inept at hand eye coordination activities, poor spelling and grammar and an often vacant expression.
'Hey, you see Abbie only scored a 3 letter word on countdown?' 'I know, she's such a gonnie'.
