A giant phablet or a small tablet? The Sony Xperia Z Ultra gets sized up against the 2013 Nexus 7
0. phoneArena 08 Aug 2013, 09:45 posted on
With smartphone diagonals continuing to soar to ever greater heights, we may soon have to calibrate our understanding of what exactly classifies as a phablet, and what sets it apart from a smaller tablet...

You seem insecure about the attention the ZUltra is getting.
14. sid07desai (Posts: 290; Member since: 03 May 2012)
Its only momentary attention kiddo. Just wait till Sept 4th and I'm sure nobody will even remember the ultra. #Note3FTW
20. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2111; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
whether it's a momentary or a long term attention, the user shows signs of insecurity. and that product you have named after the hashtag is irrelevant.

Note 3? Lmao! I'm not gonna queue at the Samsung store just for trying the Note 3.
I want a true smartphone and that's the Sony Honami or the LG G2.
61. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
hahah you have seen the Note 3 have you?
73. SonyFindOneDroidple (Posts: 793; Member since: 11 May 2013)
And hes not even talking to you right??
And if you really want a SMARTphone, only galaxies and Moto X are the right phones out there.. Accept it or not

i appreciate this comment, i am so tired of hearing samsung this and samsung that...forget that cheap plastic crap of a phone with so much samsung bloat you have no memory left to store what matters to you in a phone, so many gimmicks. im buying this phone, to hell with a note 3. Matter of fact, how about this, we meet up ill take my xperia ZU out of my pocket in public and you take out your note 3, see how many compliments we will get. Just one touch of the ZU and you will lose that battle every time
30. buccob (Posts: 2564; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
You are correct, by that time the Honami will get all the attention
31. lee480 (Posts: 197; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
Of course. September, and Honami will steal the show. Note 3 becames a failure! Good job Sony.

Let's do a little recap:
Jan 2012 - Xperia S was announced, built hype
May 2012 - Galaxy S3 was announced, Xperia S was forgotten instantly
Jan 2013 - Xperia Z was announced, built hype
March 2013 - S4 was announced, Xperia Z was forgotten
With this trend, I hope this time Honami will live up to your expectations when it gets released.
79. Gdrye (Posts: 110; Member since: 02 Jan 2012)
Once Sony have an all 4 major release on carriers like samsung then your lil comment will be mute.
80. HouTexan (Posts: 439; Member since: 08 Jan 2012)
Not even.
92. pyradark (Posts: 852; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
As far as i remember, S4 is an epic fail this year!! Globally ex sammy user are shifting to xperia z due to its no Wow effect and cheap plastic build up!!
62. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
no......samsung products are always more awaited than sonys sorry thats a fact!
47. ABDULGHAFOOR (Posts: 104; Member since: 04 May 2012)
note 3 =another piece of cheap plastic
55. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
It's nice to know so much about a phone before it's released yet alone leaked. I wish I could do that.

Trust me Note 3 will kick your a$$

'Don't be so sure' come on mate even you know that on 4th of September you will see another beast after S4.
85. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
Note 3 is just oversized S4 with Wacom stylus, OIS, and more powerful chipset. Even G2 is more interesting than Note 3.

23. Mittal (Posts: 493; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
well it so happens i have !
but pity if u are having to buy a headset out of compulsion to avoid embarrassment rather than choice..
27. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2111; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
out of discomfort than embarrassing. these devices aren't primarily used for phone calls, but keep laughing if that makes you feel better.
49. Mittal (Posts: 493; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
u got a point there .. but the Ultra can definitely NOT bank on volumes
Might make sense for women who will stuff it in their bags, but only men with Gigantic pockets would think of keeping it there
52. Nathan_ingx (Posts: 3751; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
I read somewhere that a bluetooth headset might be provided in the box...which is a good thing Sony is about to do.
64. WHoyton1 (Posts: 1635; Member since: 21 Feb 2013)
so you get a $500 phone to not use it as a phone.....
69. XperiaFanZone (Posts: 2111; Member since: 21 Sep 2012)
That is not a "phone".
13. SGSatlantis (Posts: 226; Member since: 20 Jul 2011)
This is a tablet, I've handled the Mega 6.3(which is smaller) and that thing is freaking huge. Sony had to one up Samsungs Note 2, a phone too large to be called a phone and they look silly.

6. anleoflippy (Posts: 595; Member since: 03 Jan 2013)
I've used the Z Ultra for 2 days from a friend of mine and it pretty good for someone who don't want a separate tablet. And yes, the display is just gorgeous to look and viewing angles has been fixed. Looking at the Z Ultra from a picture or video does not justify the beauty of the screen. And yeah, you can use almost anything as a stylus.
9. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
I have the original Nexus7 and thats how similar they are in size??? DAMN!!!! Even a guy like me (6'7" 240lbs) wouldnt have a phone that big. Thats doing too much BUT if enough people buy the Z Ultra, the Nexus7 is in trouble because it doesnt have phone support unless you add an app for it
11. jove39 (Posts: 1857; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)

The screen looks great.
great job Sony
17. Scarambay (Posts: 88; Member since: 18 Jan 2013)
The only two things about Nexus 7 which are better than Xperia Z Ultra are faster updates and the price. Sony is already working hard to push the updates quicker than they used to, so hopefully it won't be a big deal. For the premium price, you get an absolutely stunning display, stylish overall design and UI, dust and water resistance, higher pocketability and last but not least, better hardware (CPU and GPU).
25. Mittal (Posts: 493; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
i dont think SONY displays are 'stunning' these days
relatively washed out colours... poor viewing angles ( u might prefer a device with poor viewing angles, but im sure thats not why SONY put it there)

on February 4, 2013 - 7:33 AM
The owner of a long-deteriorating Roycroft Campus warehouse has failed to appear before East Aurora officials, who again are demanding to know his plans for the structure as their impatience grows.
The village wants assurance that the building is structurally safe.
The village continues to field numerous complaints about the Roycroft Stock House, which is more than a century old and is commonly referred to as a warehouse or shipping building. Plans for its restoration have been in the works for nine years, but not much has occurred, village officials complain.
Stock House owner Boice Lydell did not show up at last week's Village Board meeting due to heavy snow and difficulty traveling from his Jamestown-area home. Lydell, a Roycroft artifacts collector from Lakewood, sent an email to the village a few hours before the board meeting.
"After nine years, what's another month's delay?" Mayor Allan Kasprzak said, but he wasn't brushing it off. "It just seems like one delay after another. ... That building can't lay fallow without someone saying, 'What are we doing about this?' "
Trustee Kevin Biggs was fuming.
"[Lydell] is the dance partner who doesn't show up at the rehearsals," he said. "I want him here before the board and public. I just want it fixed. Nine years? Come on.
"If we don't see him by March 1, we should have a plan."
Village Administrator Bryan Gazda agreed, with mounting frustration. "It's stable now, but what about six months from now?" he said.
Frustration with the Stock House's condition has many upset, given the ambitious restoration of the National Historic Landmark campus.
Safety concerns plague the building, as do concerns about its appearance and partial visibility from Main Street.
"They're spending millions of dollars to restore the campus, and then you have that piece of garbage-looking building. It's embarrassing," Trustee Ernest Scheer said.
The village plans to send Lydell a letter, again asking him to attend the board's Feb. 19 meeting and show up with detailed plans for his building as well as a timeline for the work.
Lydell has not returned several phone calls from The Buffalo News about the property. He has long said he is trying to duplicate the original building blocks for the building's exterior so that it complies with "proper historic aesthetics."
"We don't know if the 'block story' is the truth," Biggs said.
Lydell's engineer also told village leaders late last year that shoring at the existing rear wall appears to be in good condition and is tight to the wall. The village, however, wants its own engineer to do an interior inspection, which Lydell has not allowed. Trustee Patrick Shea said he wants Lydell to show that the building is structurally safe, as well as to outline definite plans.
"We'd like to have our engineer look inside the building. This has been asked continuously, for him to provide a timeline, and we seem to get blown off," Kasprzak said.
Trustee Libby Weberg seemed to urge patience with Lydell.
"I think we'll have something that looks well, if the building is done correctly," she said.

Our May cover story describes how a Pennsylvania shop has benefitted by developing an effective micromachining strategy for hard tooling components. Its tooling is used for compacting powder metal components, and the tooling components it machines are also made of powder metal. Micromachining such abrasive materials is tricky, and this article highlights choices the shop made in terms of machine tools, cutting tools, toolholders, programming and so on. Making the move to micromachining has enabled the shop to reduce the amount of EDM work it previously performed, minimizing secondary bench work and greatly speeding throughput.
And here's another example of the type of neat tidbits we learn about because we actually take time to visit shops. This year, Quala-Die implemented an incentive points program to reward employees who give extra effort.
Employees build points that can be redeemed for items like the ones shown below. Send me an email if you have implemented a similar program. I'd love to hear about it.

Updated Cubs 2014 Minor League Camp Rosters (3/20)
The Cubs have added a couple of 25-year old "suspects" to Minor League Camp, acquiring 1B Matt Scioscia from the Los Angeles Angels in exchange for 1B-OF Trevor Gretzky, and signing RHP Reinier Roibal (ex-SF).
The 6'3 230 Roibal was a high-profile Cuban defector signed by the Giants in 2010, but he was unable to work his way out of Lo-A ball after three seasons in the Giants organization, and was released at the end of Minor League Camp this time a year ago. He then spent the 2013 season pitching for the Newark Bears in the independent Atlantic League.
The son of Angels manager Mike Scioscia, the right-handed hitting Matt Scioscia was selected by the Angels in the 45th round of the 2011 draft as a college senior out of the University of Notre Dame, where he had been a catcher, first-baseman, and DH. The Angels moved him to 1B full-time in 2013, but like Roibal, the younger Scioscia has been unable to progress, hitting a combined 194/248/224 in 46 games (146 PA) between AZL Angels, Burlington, and Inland Empire in 2013.
I strongly suspect the Cubs will immediately move Scioscia back to catcher, the one position in the Cubs system that lacks quality depth, perhaps hoping that his catching "bloodlines" might awaken. The Cubs are also probably hoping a change of scenery might help the younger Scioscia fulfill his promise, but at age 25 he won't have a lot of time to show what he can do.
21-year old Trevor Gretzky is (of course) the son of hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, and was the Cubs 7th round pick in the 2011 June draft. But through no fault of his own, he was seemingly buried in a Cubs system that is chock full of outfielders with promise. The younger Gretzky never fully recovered from right shoulder surgery (he suffered a torn labrum while playing QB in a football game his senior year in HS) and so he been has been relegated to playing only DH, LF, or 1B in pro ball. (He has what is sometimes called a "rag arm"). However, he doesn't have the HR power you would want out of DH, 1B, or LF, he has just average speed so he doesn't profile as a CF, and he is a below average defender at both 1B and LF. What the younger Gretzky does have is decent eye/hand coordination, a good eye for the strike zone, and a nice opposite-field line-drive stroke at the plate (albeit without any HR power).
2014 CUBS MINOR LEAGUE CAMP ROSTERS (last updated 3-20-2014):
NOTE: ROSTERS AT MINOR LEAGUE CAMP ARE FLUID. Minor League players are often initially assigned to a squad one or even two levels above where they will ultimately be assigned once the regular season starts. Minor League Camp roster assignments are based on several factors, including the player's position as it relates to the specific needs of the organization, and the player's age, amount of professional experience, and previous season's performance (including any time spent at a post-season Instructional League). As players are sent to Minor League Camp from the Major League squad during the course of Spring Training, there are corresponding roster moves made at Minor League Camp as players are either moved down a level or released.

fwiw...the LAD/ARZ games in aussie-land are Saturday 4am (ET) and Saturday 10pm (ET)
Thanks, Phil.
Thanks, Phil.
1. Doesn't look like any significant new listing of injured pitchers, at least not among the more noteworthy prospects.
2. Did we ever find out what Michael Jensen missed last season for? TJ, or something less substantial? Would be fun if he bounced back well.
3. Phil, you don't list Bruno as non-participating. Is he actually throwing the ball overhand, and able to participate in fielding drills or maybe even exhibition games (defensively) already?
4. Note: I'm not sure there are a lot of very significant pitching prospects in the big-league camp who will go down and trickle-down push minor leaguers down levels. In other words, I don't think pitchers on the Iowa group are going to get dropped and take Tennessee rotation spots, other than possibly Vizcaino, Rivero, or perhaps Rondon. For the most part, I think the Tennessee rotation will primarily be populated by guys already with Tennessee pool.
5. Seems Daytona could be short for rotation on good prospects, and Kane overstocked. I wonder if they have any consideration to actually starting Zastryzy and/or Skulina right out at Daytona, to clear the piggy-back/rotation spots at Kane? Seems unlikely, but Kane looks like it will be crowded with rotation options, and Daytona might look pretty uninteresting rotation-wise.
Phil, one other question:
Phil, one other question: When XST gets rolling, there are usually lots of Latin guys there. Are those guys already at Mesa practicing, and just on the "Boise" roster at this stage? Or are a lot of them still at the DSL to avoid crowding, and once the Cubs and the minor league teams move out, then a bunch of the international kids will move in then?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Thanks for your thoughts, Phil. As you say, there are a 10+ guys already at Kane who could start, so if Skulina and Zastryzny were to go there, that would clutter it even more. So yeah, if those guys did look advanced and mature enough for Daytona, that could really set up a batch of nice rotations everywhere. But Kane could have lots of piggy-backs, I think, and some of those guys to XST or relief.
I'd thought Wells might step up to Tennessee, (with Loosen to relief), but he's young, two seasons back was largely lost to injury, and I think a lot of last year was "getting through healthy" rather than necessarily working on breaking stuff. So no problem with him staying at Daytona. Probably just a guy, not fast enough, no excellent breaking ball, not enough control, and probably not healthy enough either. But his movement is quite good, so that if the control/velocity/breaking ball stepped up, he might become a nice value.
Also glad Jensen seems healthy enough where you think he's rotation track.
You mentioned three new Latin pitchers. Have you seen Luis Hernandez throw? He's listed as 6'5" 210-pounds, a big guy; and he only pitched 9 games or so in DSL. Surprised he's over so quickly; hopefully that means he's got a power arm?
Thanks, I'd wondered about
Thanks, I'd wondered about Jordan Hankins. If he can't catch, his chances as an infielder are probably pretty remote.
So, Phil, you listed Mark Malave as a catcher; does it look like he's exclusively catcher these days? Has he filled out very much physically?
Are there any hitters who look noticeably stronger/more powerful? Obviously physical maturation is central to the scouting/projection game. But not every pitcher who's hoped to mature into 5 more mph does, nor every hitter who's projected to perhaps hit HR's when they mature.
Thanks, Phil, good stuff.
Thanks, Phil, good stuff. Candelario showing increased long-ball both-sides power is very good news. He's had strong splits, and given that he's never going to be average-at-best defensively at any position, serious HR production is essential if he is to become an asset starter.
Interesting that Hanneman showed reasonable power. Don't know what we'll have with him, but a lot easier to make it work if he's got more Michael Barrett power than Theriot/Barney type situation. But encouraging to read something a little encouraging in that regard.
Geiger this could be interesting year. Balanced and improving hitting approach, but it's all about the HR-power for him. If he hits enough HR's without selling out to do so, then all of his offensive numbers will grow and he'll be valuable. He's an under-the-radar guy who could conceivably put up some pretty big numbers in AA at age 22, in which case he could generate more discussion.
Thanks for Malave observations. Interesting that he's back to full-time catcher. Like Geiger and Candelario, seems yet another case where power is the key. Hopefully something will happen so that he starts to translate some of his power potential into actual HR's. He's been so young and new, but thus far his actual results have been no-HR output, mostly singles and walks offensively. His defense isn't going to get him far as a contact hitter. For him to really make it, I assume it will again need to be as an average-at-best defender with enough offense to more than make up for it. With HR's, maybe; no HR's, not likely.

baez sure as hell will not let you walk him this spring. he's up there to swing...and he can look kinda foolish on some sliders.
also, baez removed after beating out an infield single and hitting the base weird (didn't go down, not limping off the field). looks like a foot/heel bruise or a slightly tweaked ankle at the worst, fwiw.

"Javier Baez was diagnosed with a right heel contusion after landing awkwardly on first base while beating out an infield single on Friday."
as far as minor foot injuries goes, this is one of the worst places for a foot bruise. hope it's minor, hope it heals fast, and hope he's ready before AAA opening day.
this is one of the worst
this is one of the worst places for a foot bruise.
There is no good place for a foot bruise but as long as he didn't break his calcaneus (heel) it might just be a few days off. Also have to be careful not to develop plantar fascitis (inflamed arch support) or achilles tendonitis. It it's not better in a day or two, they usually get an MRI, which can identify a bone bruise or subtle fracture (assuming the more basic x-rays are negative).
You probably have read since
You probably have read since your comment that Baez says he's had this happen before, and it comes from wearing metal cleats - and that he normally grinds one of them down when he has to wear them. Anyway, it sounds like it was pretty minor. One thing about Baez is it seems like he goes all out in everything he does, from his swing to everything else. It's probably not a question of if, but when he'll get hurt. You can't ask a guy to not go all out, that's even more dangerous I think when it comes to potential injury, but I know that once he gets up to the big club I'm going to brace myself for that injury and hope nothing major happens. Of course, he could be quite the specimen and his body may simply be able to withstand a lot of punishment. I sure hope he learns to take a walk or two down there.

Carlos Rodon slipping...losing a little velocity, control off this spring although last start was much better. Brady Aiken moves to #1 according to Law at least. Jeff Hoffman hasn't been doing too great either. Tyler Kolek(HS) and Tyler Beede in that top 5 mix at the moment as well most likely.
More links.
also this Baez note in the Keith Law chat
Mike (Chicago) Seen anything from Baez to think he'd be successful from the get go this spring or is it just feasting on spring training pitching? He sure hits the ball hard and far.
Klaw (1:56 PM) He's always done that, but I worry that his contact rate overall will be very low if he starts the year in the majors. Huge, huge ability, just not as advanced a hitter as the spring might indicate.
on that note, Rodon has a

they did a wonderful job with this field...especially compared to pictures of it i'm checking out online...and really especially considering every adaptation to the field (such as the "fake" OF wall) is all sitting above ground (not dug in) since the field groundskeepers refused to let them dig into the ground to install anything because they have to play cricket rather soon. there's huge concrete blocks and steel structures providing a lot of support to walls/tunnels/structures.
the crowd seems to be into the whole things so far...even those that don't fully "get" what's going on...though there's a good amount that do.

cubs/mets in japan in 2000 when they had b.valentine mic'd up is still a viewing experience i cherish. espn had a bunch of guys mic'd up and decided to turn on valentine's mic when he visited the mound to hear what he was telling the pitcher (mike hampton).
hampton had control issues early and valentine had a short visit to the mound where he simply told hampton "throw the goddamn ball over the goddamn plate." and walked away.
the announcers chuckled, apologized, and stated they wouldn't be using that mic anymore.
it was 4:30-ish am ET...i don't think enough people saw it live to care.
btw...cubs won, mark grace hit a homer, and everything was good with the world.

I want this Australian series
I want this Australian series to end just so 'journalists' will stop making stupid puns. Plus, why the hell is the opening series a week before the rest of the games? Selig is a fart.
people in the past complained
people in the past complained a lot about the international game/regular season scheduling being so close to the "real" season involving a lot of wear/tear/jetlag/fatigue/etc on doing all the travel + PR + actual games...so they're giving the teams a chance to do all the crap while giving them time to come back and recharge.
my biggest issue with the "new" scheduling is the erratic as hell "some teams get strategic breaks in april, some teams get none" scheduling that's been going on for a few years.
this year the cubs (and many other teams) get royally screwed with almost no "strategic" days off when april was traditionally a time where teams could count on a 2-3+ week schedule with strategic days off to accommodate using a 4-man rotation schedule and allowing for april weather makeup games in an unpredictable time of year.
it's also kinda weird to see interleague play in april...whatever...
The other teams could still
The other teams could still play, but let LA and AZ have a few days off after the Australia series. OR, make these games exhibitions like they should have been in the first place.
i don't get "making the games
i don't get "making the games count" either...out of all the things people/fans would care about with visiting mlb baseball, the matter of whether it "counts" or not would probably be low on the list as long as they can persuade teams to treat it with more respect than a spring training game when it comes to lineups/pitching/substitutions.

The Cubs have some tough cuts
The Cubs have some tough cuts to make yet, but looking at the Iowa roster, there are some questions to be answered there.
Pitchers: Hendricks, Jokisch, Beeler, Negrin, Rhee, Loux, Pimentel, Vizcaino, Batista, Zych, Hottovy, Hatley, Gutierrez, Coleman, Espino, McNutt, Mateo, Rivero, and Rosscup.
Catchers: Cutler, Lopez, and Flores.
Infielders: L.Anderson, Alcantara, Villanueva, Watkins, E. Gonzalez, Mota, Baez,and Valaika.
Outfielders: Szczur, Ha, Andreoli, B. Jackson, Meier Wells,and Vitters.
Plus, there are a bunch more cuts coming. It should be interesting.
AZ Phil, do you care to give us your guesses?

CD-adapco is the world's largest independent CFD focused provider of engineering simulation software, support and services. We have over 30 years of experience in delivering industrial strength engineering simulation.
A direct numerical simulation of the buoyancy driven turbulent flow inside a horizontal annular cavity at higher Rayleigh number, Ra = 1.18x109, and the cylinders ratio of 4.87 has been carried out using the commercial code STAR-CCM+. Kinetic energy budgets have been calculated to verify the accuracy of the unstructured finite volume code on polyhedral cells in Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) mode. Comparison of DNS results with wall resolved Unsteady RANS (URANS) models shows that the later models are able to capture the general flow features but fail to predict the large unsteadiness and high turbulence levels in the plume. However local heat transfer rates along the inner and outer cylinder walls are on average of acceptable accuracy for engineering purposes.

President Obama laid out an ambitious agenda in his 2013 State of the Union speech, but in politics, as in life, ambitions often collide with reality.
The first American Pundit writing assignment for 2013 asks Allvoices writers to share their views on what areas the president should focus on and, if applicable, what proposals may need to be sacrificed on the altar of pragmatic compromise.
Here's the assignment:
President Obama laid out a broad agenda in his State of the Union address, including tax increases, immigration reform, gun control and more. What area(s) do you think he should focus on going forward, and how should Republicans respond?
At least one of the two winners for the Feb. 18-28 segment will be selected from responses to the assignment.
This year, American Pundit writing assignments will come with an accompanying reading assignment. It will be fully optional, of course, but the idea is to present Allvoices writers with at least two columns by pundits with differing opinions and/or areas of focus on the same event or issue.
For this segment, we've selected columns by Eleanor Clift ("Obama's appeal for gun vote is emotional high point of state-of-union speech," published at thedailybeast.com) and Fred Barnes ("There he goes again," published at theweeklystandard.com), both of which deal with the State of the Union address.
Clift and Barnes have been considered top-tier American pundits since the early days of "The McLaughlin Group." Clift has appeared as a panelist on the program since the 1980s; Barnes was a regular on the show from 1988 to 1998.
"The McLaughlin Group," which premiered on PBS in 1982, is the common ancestor of much of today's political programming insofar as it catapulted televised discussions about political matters from the realm of the dry and politely serious into a dimension where highly animated and emotionally charged verbal urgency carries the day at least as much as the facts, assumptions and opinions being discussed.
The theatrical brilliance of the early years gained the program a loyal fan base and has influenced, to one degree or another, the way millions of American voters view and engage in political discourse to this day.
"The McLaughlin Group" is still seen mostly on PBS affiliates. It has been hosted since its debut by the estimable John McLaughlin, the one-time Jesuit priest turned speechwriter for and adviser to President Richard Nixon. If it's not televised in your area, you can watch it online at www.mclaughlin.com.
You may submit open-topic entries related to American politics, columns related to the writing assignment, or both. You may enter as often as you like. Entries must be submitted no earlier than 12 a.m. Feb. 18 and no later than 11:59 p.m. Feb. 28, with all contest times Pacific. If you have not yet created your free Allvoices account, which you need to enter the contest, there's no time like the present.
If you like to write about U.S. politics, enter Allvoices' "The American Pundit" political writing contest. Allvoices is awarding four $250 prizes each month between now and Nov. 30. These monthly winners earn eligibility for the $5,000 grand prize, to be awarded in December. If you do not already have a free account, sign up here.

Seemingly Brayton plays a very self-confident Rosalind for reasons she herself explains:
From: "Oscar Asche And Lily Brayton": "As Alice in 'Henry V.' I made my London debut, my first real taste of success, however, being as Viola in 'Twefth Night.' But I believe, of all the characters I have impersonated , I most enjoy Rosalind as 'As You Like It.' I practically began my stage career in comedy, and much prefer it, for I think emotional parts, such as Clotilde in 'Count Hannibal,' for instance, have a tendency to make me rather depressed."

Jabari Parker is one of the most sought after high school recruits in the country, and Duke just landed him for their program.
Jabari Parker, the nation's No. 2 senior, committed to Duke during a news conference at his school Thursday.
Parker, a 6-foot-8 forward out of Simeon Career Academy, chose the Blue Devils over BYU, Florida, Michigan State and Stanford.
Although hats representing all five schools initially were situated on a table in the Simeon gym, Parker pulled out a Duke long-sleeved T-shirt while announcing his decision.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has had good luck with recruits in his native Chicago. He also landed Jon Scheyer (Glenbrook North), Sean Dockery (Julian), Michael Thompson (Providence) and Corey Maggette (Fenwick) from the area.
"What brought me to the decision is, of course, the history," Parker said. "Duke was always going to be a team in the tournament. You can't go wrong at the program. And most importantly, the long-term investment — I feel if I go there, I can get a good degree.

TAHOE - The Tahoe Cross Country Ski Education Association (TCCSEA) is a nonprofit 501©(3) corporation whose mission is to promote the sport of cross country skiing through educational activities for children and adults.
In 1999, the TCCSEA Board of Directors, consisting of several local residents, business owners, coaches and athletes, entered a concession agreement with the Tahoe City Public Utility District to operate Tahoe Cross Country Ski Area. Over the past decade, Tahoe Cross Country has established itself as one of the top ski areas in the United States.
The programs
Through the partnership with the Tahoe City Public Utility District, Tahoe Cross Country provides several educational programs to its community members. The Strider Gliders After-School Ski Program is an eight-week program that includes ski instruction, equipment use for the winter, and ski trail access for a nominal fee, thanks to more than 2,000 hours of community support donated each season. The Winter Discovery Center provides a place-based science/ski program to third, fourth and fifth-grade students from the Lake Tahoe region. Free Skiing for Schools Program provides free skiing to teachers and their students, giving all children the opportunity to participate in winter physical activity. These are examples of the programs developed over the years.
Tahoe Cross Country Ski Education Association provides school children in the community with an opportunity to learn and participate in a sport that will provide lifelong enjoyment and health benefits. Motivated individuals gain a foundation for world-class competitive training. Many young athletes from the area move on to national and international Nordic skiing competition. TCCSEA supports its local Nordic ski team from North Tahoe Middle and High Schools by providing free trail access, coaching support and ski equipment.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - The North Lake Tahoe Bonanza will launch a new online news presence beginning next week.
The digital version of the Bonanza, along with those of its sister papers at Lake Tahoe and in Truckee - the Tahoe Daily Tribune and Sierra Sun - are combining into one lakewide news website at www.tahoedailytribune.com. The enhanced website goes live Wednesday, March 13.
Next week, Bonanza readers are encouraged to poke around the new site to see what's offered and where. Access to all of our online content - from news stories to the paper's e-edition to the events calendar and much, much more - will continue to be free, as has been the Bonanza's tradition for years, both in print and on the web.
Further, while the main page of www.tahoedailytribune.com features top news stories, entertainment and recreation features and sports content throughout the greater Truckee/Tahoe region, the website also boasts separate North Shore and South Shore editions. Stories and content specific to Incline Village and the North Shore of Lake Tahoe can be immediately accessed at www.tahoedailytribune.com/NorthShore. The South Shore edition can be viewed at www.tahoedailytribune.com/South Shore.
And don't worry - for readers used to typing in the familiar www.tahoebonanza.com, that same URL will be redirected to www.tahoedailytribune.com/NorthShore.
Readers will see more news and features both on the home page and on the front pages of the North and South editions. Each page features a carousel that will be updated when fresh content is published, rotating through the top news and photos of the day.
And back by popular demand, the ability for users to comment on stories and opinion pieces is returning with the launch of the new lakewide website. Our comments section will be powered through Facebook.
The website is designed to be easier to read no matter what platform readers use - desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone - and its design is based directly on reader feedback and research on how people use the Internet.
The best way to learn about the new site, other than looking around and clicking on various features, is to view an online user guide that highlights the changes and new features. This feature will be a mainstay on the site's front page for the near future.

An idea ignited in 1989, which sat dormant for
23 years, took flight Wednesday afternoon at The Ridge Golf Club in Auburn.
On hole No. 1, Doug Frost, a former technician for NASA and retired Grass Valley postman, took a few minutes to set up his shot, counted down from five and blast off — Rocketry Golf was reborn.
Frost, along with club pro Shawn Kelly and a small group of reporters and photographers, watched as a plastic golf ball attached to a model rocket launched into the air. The rocket and ball became lost in the overcast sky, but when it landed, it was more than 420 yards away and within 20 feet of the hole. Frost teed up another two rockets, and each landed on or around the green.
"I am impressed," said Kelly after seeing how close the rockets were to the pin. "I wasn't sure before, but I am now. This is about as obscure as I've seen, but I'm interested."
Rocketry Golf is the brain child of Frost, who said the idea came to him 23 years ago when he was driving past a golf course after a day of firing off model rockets nearby.
An avid rocket hobbyist and part-time rocketry teacher at the time, Frost decided to fuse the two vastly different activities.
In 1989, Rocketry Golf grabbed the attention of the local media in the Bay Area, spawning several articles on the game, but a lack of time and funding forced Frost to put Rocketry Golf on the shelf.
With Wednesday's demonstration, the first since 1989, Frost, now retired, is looking to make Rocketry Golf the next big thing.
"It's too much fun I got to warn you," Frost said. "It's extremely habit forming."
Frost plans on returning to The Ridge to play Kelly in November and has hopes of getting a Rocketry Golf tournament up and going at the end of May.
"The bottom line is if this is ever going to move past my garage, it's going to be with tournaments — sponsors and tournaments," Frost said.
As for who this hybrid sport caters to, Frost said he believes rocket enthusiasts will find it entertaining.
While to take a swing or a launch may take a few minutes longer than it does in traditional golf, Frost contends that the time is made up by the fact he only needs one shot to reach the green.
In Rocketry Golf, drives can reach distances of nearly 600 yards, Frost said.
Once the rocket is on the green, then it is a switch back to traditional golf with regulation golf balls and a putter.
Getting Rocketry Golf to be the next disc golf won't be easy, said Frost. Major obstacles such as sponsors and publicity for the sport will be difficult. Frost has reached out to several golf and rocketry publications, visited and pitched the sport at local courses and has sent packets on the sport to engineering schools.
Frost has also been working with a game designer in Ohio, Jon Harbor, who is working on a Rocketry Golf video game for the PC. It should be ready in December, said Frost.
To get started in Rocketry Golf, it would cost a new player approximately $175 dollars, including the launch pad and rockets. Each shot requires a new engine, which costs less then $5 apiece.
All things rocketry golf related can be found at www.rocketrygolf.com.
"For me, it's not for money. It's for the legacy," Frost said. "If tens of people enjoy it by next year, then I'm a success. If 100 people enjoy by the next year, then wow."

|Femtosecond NEXAFS of Photoinduced Insulator-Metal Transition in VO2
The grand goal motivating femtosecond studies of condensed-matter dynamics is to directly measure the structural pathways that connect different crystallographic, electronic, and magnetic phases of solids, as well as the short-lived transition states between reactants and products in chemical and biochemical reactions. Researchers from Berkeley Lab and the Université du Québec have taken a big step forward by adding femtosecond x-ray spectroscopy to the experimental toolkit with their first use of the laser-slicing technique to study the photoinduced metal–insulator phase transition in vanadium dioxide (VO2).
In a series of experiments, the group has been investigating the VO2 transition in which an insulator with a monoclinic crystal lattice becomes a metal with a rutile structure when heated above 340 K. The controversial nature of the low-T, insulating phase, as well as substantial uncertainty over the roles of structural motion and electronic correlations in driving this phase transition, have fueled an enduring debate over several decades.
Rather than varying the temperature, the group studied the nonequilibrium pathway of the phase transition after impulsively exciting the material with light. Such "photodoping" can, in analogy with chemical substitution, favor relaxation of the system into a competing state (in this case a metal). The relevant electronic states for the phase transition derive from vanadium 3d states split in energy by crystal-field effects, period doubling in the crystal unit cell (dimerization) in the low-T insulator, and electron–electron correlations.
In their experiments, prompt photodoping by exciting electrons out of (and hence holes into) the valence band (formed from 3d|| states) of the low-T insulator and delocalization of the charge carriers in the spatially extended conduction band cause an ultrafast transition to the metallic state as the valence and conductions bands once separated by an energy gap now overlap. During this process, the structural dimerization of the low-T insulator coherently relaxes. Both processes occur on the 100-fs time scale.
To date, the lack of femtosecond x-ray sources that are tunable over a broad spectral range has hindered development of femtosecond x-ray spectroscopy. The technique of laser slicing now coming into use at the ALS is currently the only proven method to generate broadband x-ray pulses of femtosecond duration. With soft x-ray near-edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy (NEXAFS), the electronic states near the Fermi level that participate in the insulator-to-metal phase transition can be distinguished by measuring absorption from symmetry-selective core levels.
In their optical-pump/x-ray-probe experiments at bend-magnet Beamline 5.3.1, they used a flat-field imaging spectrometer to spectrally disperse the soft x rays transmitted through the sample, thereby capturing the entire absorption spectrum at once for each time delay between the laser excitation and the measurement. Earlier picosecond NEXAFS measurements in VO2 uncovered a red shift of the L3 edge to lower energy, corresponding to a collapse of the unoccupied states of 3d symmetry, and followed the quasi-equilibrium kinetics of the transition as metallic layer grew into the material.
Femtosecond NEXAFS measurements made at the vanadium 2p3/2 edge revealed a prompt increase in absorption immediately after photoexcitation, recovering within a few picoseconds. At the oxygen 1s resonance, the absorption coefficient also initially increased synchronously with that at the vanadium 2p3/2 resonance but then decreased (bleached) before relaxing on the same few-picosecond time scale as the signal at the vanadium edge.
The observed behavior likely results from a combination of hole and electron photodoping, band-structure rearrangement, and dynamic shift of the core levels. Full, high-resolution x-ray absorption spectra at the higher-flux undulator Beamline 6.0.1 now under construction will make it possible to clarify the nature of this complicated interplay. For the moment, these data represent the first successful measurement of x-ray absorption on the fundamental time scale where the phase transition occurs.

In El Dorado County Sheriff John D'Agostini's Jan. 17 letter on www.sierrasun.com about gun control, he stated, "It is well known and proven with facts, not emotional inference, that gun control of any kind, has no effect on the reduction of crime, anywhere."
He should read the Jan. 16 New York Times article by John Howard, a former prime minister of Australia. After a 1996 massacre with 35 people being killed with an assault rifle, a law was passed which banned assault rifles.
In the 18 years prior to this law, there were 13 massacres involving four or more people. Since this law was passed, there have been no massacres. Suicide rates have also dropped by 68 percent.

Dairy is Arizona's first to go solar-powered
Dairy is Arizona's first to go solar-powered
According to the National Weather Service, Arizona is the sunniest state in the country (followed in order by California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Texas). That makes it the perfect place for solar electricity production; yet it is only now that a dairy there has begun harnessing the power of the sun.
Zimmerman Dairy, a 1,000-cow family operation in Queen Creek, about 30 minutes southeast of Phoenix, is now online with phase one of a two-part photovoltaic solar project that will ultimately provide all of its electricity needs. Phase two is planned for completion by the end of 2011.
The project is funded by the USDA Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) through cash grants and guaranteed loans. The Zimmerman project has received both. Construction financing and a term loan to support the project are provided by Farm Credit Services Southwest. Additional support will be provided by Salt River Project through the EarthWise Solar Energy program that provides incentives for residential and commercial electricity customers who invest in solar.
Rather than a roof-mounted system, the Zimmerman's solar collection panels will be ground-mounted, allowing easier installation, cleaning, maintenance, and system expansion. Solar panels have a 25-year warranty and a productive lifespan of 35 years or more. They produce electricity with no pollution whatsoever.
Vicky and Bill Zimmerman (second and third from right in photo) were presented with their USDA REAP grant funding of $336,901 at last month's Arizona Dairy Production Conference in Tempe.

on January 27, 2013 - 6:43 PM
NIAGARA FALLS – City police said they had to forcibly arrest a man fleeing the scene of a hit-and-run crash Saturday night.
A witness to the crash, which occurred in the area of Honey's restaurant on Niagara Falls Boulevard, followed the alleged hit-and-run driver through several streets in the city's LaSalle section, until police located the vehicle. The driver still refused to pull over for emergency vehicles, according to police reports, but finally stopped in the 8200 block of Niagara Falls Boulevard.
The driver was combative and refused to comply with police commands before being forcibly taken into custody, according to reports. Christopher M. Falbo, 50, complained as he was placed in handcuffs, saying, "All this over a hit-and-run?," officers reported.
Falbo, of Portage Road, was charged with felony and misdemeanor counts of driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident, resisting arrest and following too closely.

Some teams prefer less players - more icetime.
I play forward in my Monday night league but this past spring I played defense for a tournament. I loved it! Even though you don't get nearly as much offensive glory there's just something about shutting guys down, mucking in corners and making a nice first pass. I might switch to defense full time.
Yeah - "D" is the position to play! I enjoyed chipping in my fair share of points while @ any of the forward positions, but there's something about playing defense - more intense I guess

Can you define these popular missing words?
When a ping pong ball is gently forced (shot) out of a vagina worthy of the task. Usually performed while laying on her back, if peformed while standing it is just gross.
During a game of beer pong in the garage, some ass stepped on the last ball in use. Then, to our dismay, Stephanie slow pitched us our replacement. Thanks Steph!

quote: The scientists did not actually link fracking to the earthquakes as your story claims, nor did they rebuke prior researching disavowing a link. The scientists who published the report in Geology linked wastewater injection to the seismic events, and the wastewater came from conventional oil wells that were not hydraulically fractured.
quote: Thanks for the reply and headline adjustment Jason. However, your story still leads with this:"National study suggests that 5.7-magnitude quake was caused by fracking"
quote: We do not dispute the fact that wastewater injection has been linked to seismic activity.
quote: Bill Ellsworth, lead geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey: "We find no evidence that fracking is related to the occurrence of earthquakes that people are feeling." http://www.npr.org/2012/04/11/150440356/quakes-cau...Ellsworth, again: "We don't see any connection between fracking and earthquakes of any concern to society." http://www.eenews.net/energywire/2012/04/23/3 (subs. req'd)National Research Council: "The process of hydraulic fracturing a well as presently implemented for shale gas recovery does not pose a high risk for inducing felt seismic events."http://dels.nas.edu/Report/Induced-Seismicity-Pote...Thanks so much for your time and willingness to discuss this, Jason. Really appreciate it.
quote: wouldn't it be better to let the merits of the process stand on their own and not pay off local politicians as the money trail clearly shows??
quote: The wastewater may have been from traditional sources, but it implies that fluid injections can cause seismic activity. The other studies I link to implicate fracking in smaller quakes.
