Samsung promises "64-bit functionality" in next smartphones, because it can't let Apple have anything "special"
0. phoneArena 12 Sep 2013, 00:58 posted on
That's right folks, we're back in the day care play area and Samsung is jealous of Apple's new 64-bit toy. Samsung apparently doesn't care much that 64-bit processing won't really help Apple all that much in the near future, nor that 64-bit support will be completely useless on an Android device (unless Android 4.4 KitKat is bringing 64-bit support)...

"When phones are ready for 64 bit architecture..."
How to understand that smartphones are ready for 64-bit ?
105. Googler (Posts: 813; Member since: 10 Jun 2013)
For starters, when RAM has reached a point to warrant it. Right now it's not needed, and probably won't for a few more years.
113. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
And when in your opinion as you say RAM will reached a point to warrant it?
90. Ninetysix (Posts: 2387; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
Useless without Google optimizing the code/apis for 64bit. It's already in iOS7 and more on the way. Good luck with your 64bit smartphones with no optimization for it.

does anyone know that Samsung is the maker of the A7 chip in the new iphones? if Samsung would release the 64bit chip in the phones, it woluld make everything better for the phones that are in actual HD. I don't see how it will fit on a phone that doesn't even have 720p.
95. Ninetysix (Posts: 2387; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
Samsung also used chips by Qualcomm on most of their phones. What's your point?
140. TheM16 (Posts: 80; Member since: 14 Aug 2013)
Wrong again dude...
The Taiwanese company "TSMC" is making the A7 chip not your "Samsung" anymore.
And it will make the A8,A9 and A9X...
Wake up Samsung fans!

Poor Samsung has to once again copy its superiors. Thats what it has been doing all day long since 2007.
Shamesung the grand thief after Google.

the real question is "what took samsung so long to follow apple?" it has been a day since the announcement. c'mon samsung fire your spies!
110. RomeoJDR (Posts: 244; Member since: 09 Dec 2011)
What a rare failure by Samsung's marketing department. The author is right about there being no advantage of 64-bit running on a system with well less than the 32-bit's 4GB virtual memory cap. Plus I'm wondering the impact this will have on the iPhone usable storage since this will require more ROM space dedicated to the OS. It may be a huge issue in the 16GB version. Why Samsung is only adding fuel to the fire instead of exposing the 64-bit as simply useless hot air is beyond me? Apple touting the 64-bit in a phone as being ahead of its time is correct, unfortunately that means it offers no utility when the rest of the phone lags behind.

The note 3 has 3gb ram so don't be surprised if the note 4 next year comes with a 4gb ram and then the 64bit CPU makes sense. Arm said a while back that they have the 64bit architecture and phones in 2014 will use it so this is no surprise.
130. RomeoJDR (Posts: 244; Member since: 09 Dec 2011)
4GB is the limit, so unless it has dedicated graphics memory as well it will still be a waste of space.
133. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
I'll be honest really dont know too much about 32/64bits but read somewhere that to get any real use out of 64bit you need 4gb ram or more and something about 4gb ram being the limit for 32bit. Could be wrong though as I said don't know much.
114. Quezdagreat (Posts: 428; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
Samsung does it again with their me too approach. this is my second time saying this bt the galaxy s5 will have a fingerprint scanner. "if apple has it why shouldn't we have it" smh
115. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
And the fanboys including this writer of course jump to the copying bandwagon. What they obviously missed while back was arm already have a 64bit architecture and said it will be on phones in 2014 so the fact Samsung is saying they will have a phone with a 64bit CPU isn't news because as arm who has a very close relationship with Samsung pretty much said this was going to happen but I let uninformed people believe what makes you happy.
122. Darkerm (Posts: 308; Member since: 31 Jan 2012)
Am I the only one who dosn't care about what Apple or Samsung do but only care about 64 Bit so we can run Android in our PC?
123. Ninetysix (Posts: 2387; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
124. 0kax0el0 (Posts: 175; Member since: 15 Nov 2012)
Have anybody read the source article? It doesn't say it was announced, it was commented in an executives meeting. Shin was asked by the chiefs about 64bit processors in their phones.
"Not in the shortest time. But yes, our next smartphones will have 64-bit processing functionality,"
That sounds like "it's not our focus, but yes, we can do it too".
Still, the most importan aspect about processors is the number of instructions per second ther're capable of. 64bits processors aside from an easier access to bigger ram memory, gives you more precision on bit operations. So, is anyone using an iPhone o Galaxy as a database server or molecule simulation?
139. ilani (Posts: 90; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
its not about copying! its about buzz words! Apple has an extra buzz word on their product now! no one really cares what it is! just that 64 is bigger than 32! this could mean selling more products, of course samsung is gonna do it too!
142. sarge77 (Posts: 202; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
Samsung didnt copy anything they made the chip apple so its goin to happen its a shame that apple didnt take advantage of the 64bit using beyond 4g of ram is awesome the only problem is limited space will come into play soon are we going to walk around with a portable drive as well.
143. cj100570 (Posts: 204; Member since: 12 May 2009)
It's truly sad when supposed journalists allow their bias to write stories. Just a quick FYI.... Samsung discussed using 64-bit processors in their devices as early as last year. As ARM is the architect of the chips that Samsung, Apple, etc. use they had to wait on arm to institute it in its chips. And lets not forget that Samsung produces the A7 chip in the iPhone. But who needs facts when you have a click bait headline....

You beat me down and you raped my soul,
You must have thought I was through,
You should have killed me when you had the chance,
I can??™t describe what??™s gonna happen to you.
When heads roll,
The more the better,
Strength, determination, merciless, forever
As I lay bleeding in my pool of blood,
I watched you while you laughed,
Retribution in it??™s purest form,
You should have killed me while you had the chance
(The chance)
When heads roll,
The more the better,
Strength, determination, merciless, forever

St. George — The teenager accused of killing a pizza deliveryman last year cut his trial short Thursday when he pleaded guilty to murder.
Stephawn Brown, 19, accused of shooting 20-year-old Maraleius Birdsong in the head outside the Appian Way Apartments in North Charleston, was on trial for the Domino's Pizza deliveryman's murder this week in Dorchester County Circuit Court.
Thursday morning, tensions were high inside the courtroom as Brown was escorted to the judge's chambers with attorneys. Testimony was supposed to be resuming.
Instead, after about an hour, prosecutors reemerged and took Birdsong's family members, including his mother, Teresa Gardner, to a conference room. Minutes went by before Birdsong's family re-entered the courtroom and embraced.
Brown then stood before Circuit Judge Ed Dickson and pleaded guilty to murder and armed robbery, ending the trial that began Tuesday. His co-defendant, 18-year-old Jontae Davis, had pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and armed robbery the day the trial started.
Davis accepted a plea deal that sentenced him to prison for 20 years. In exchange, he testified against Brown.
Following Brown's plea, his attorney, Mark Leiendecker, a public defender, asked that his client's sentencing be deferred to today so that family members, who are expected to speak in support of him, could be present.
While prosecutors did not make a deal with Brown regarding the amount of time he'd serve, Dickson said in court he would consider his sentence between a range of 45-50 years.
Brown faced the possibility of life in prison, if a jury would have convicted him. He said very little during his plea while answering the judge's questions, although he may address the court this morning during his sentencing.
Brown and Davis planned to rob a pizza deliveryman on March 9. Brown ordered food from the Domino's Pizza on Dorchester Road in the Coosaw Creek neighborhood. Birdsong happened to be the delivery driver assigned to the order. Birdsong knocked on the door of the apartment listed on the order, but the woman living there said she hadn't ordered any food. After trying another apartment and still not finding the ordering party, Birdsong walked back to his car. That's when he was approached by Brown and Davis, according to prosecutors. Brown pointed a 9 mm gun at Birdsong. That gun was later recovered by police with Brown's DNA on it, prosecutors said. Brown demanded the food, which Birdsong handed over, Davis said when he testified earlier this week. Brown also asked for Birdsong's cell phone, but he had left it in the car, 1st Circuit Assistant Solicitor Russell Hilton said in court. Davis told the jury earlier this week that Brown became upset when Birdsong didn't turn over a cell phone. When Birdsong turned around to run away, Brown shot him in the back of the head and ran off with the food, some of which was later found in his apartment, Hilton said. Gardner, prosecutors, and defense attorneys did not want to comment on Brown's plea or the case until after his sentencing today.

The Bensalem-based company that owns Fashion Bug said Thursday that it planned to sell or eliminate the struggling retail chain while focusing efforts to grow its more profitable plus-size Lane Bryant apparel brand.
Executives with Charming Shoppes Inc. said they had hired financial adviser Barclays Capital to perform a strategic review of the entire corporation. The only immediate pledge was to divest Fashion Bug, which garnered about $600 million of the company's $2 billion in sales a year ago.
The announcements were made in tandem with the release of quarterly earnings that showed Fashion Bug sales down, presumably as its lower-income customers became more financially squeezed, while sales at the more specialized Lane Bryant chain were stable.

TUPELO – One of Tupelo's Walmart locations has been remodeled and the other is scheduled for an update next year.
Friday morning, Walmart officials and associates gathered in the front of the North Gloster Street Supercenter to celebrate the grand reopening of the store, which underwent 31⁄2 months of interior renovations.
According to store manager Howard Brannon, the remodeling included updating the colors, expanding the electronics department, making the aisles wider and regrouping merchandise.
"So far, customers like the look, but they can't find anything," Brannon said.
Maps are set up in the entrances to help customers navigate the store, which has about 350 employees.
Sammy Sappington, a Walmart market manager, said the remodel helped make the store more female-friendly. Now, if customers enter through the north entrance by the pharmacy, the female-oriented categories are grouped there. Apparel is on the left and items for the home, such as kitchen items, sheets, bathroom decor, pillows, are on the right.
Sappington estimated that women make up about 60 percent to 70 percent of Walmart shoppers.
The store's inventory also was reduced as part of the remodeling, especially in the food department. Sappington encouraged shoppers at the Friday event to tell a manager if they used to buy an item before the remodel and can't find it now but still would like to buy it.
The remodeling is part of a corporate effort from Wal-Mart Stores, which has slowed new store openings to focus on updating its current store base.
According to Sappington, about 400 U.S. stores are slated for remodeling this year. In Northeast Mississippi, remodels in Oxford and Batesville should wrap up in the next two weeks.
Walmart already has begun remodeling its Fulton store, with work expected to wrap up in June.
The West Main store in Tupelo is scheduled to be remodeled next year, Sappington said.
The plan, he said, is to remodel all the stores along the corridor from Batesville to Fulton.
Contact Carlie Kollath at (662) 678-1598 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Helping others:
As part of its celebratoin Walmart donated about $5,100 total to the following:
– Saltillo Fire Department
– Richomnd Volunteer Fire Department
– Tupelo Fire Department
– Verona Fire Department
– Tupelo Police Department
– Lee County Sheriff's Department
– American Legion Post 49

Jones, 71, who has served the district in numerous roles, including time as a teacher, principal and board president, was honored by the board recently with the dedication of the school library in his name.
The schools main hub of information and technology will now be known as the Thomas Jones Library.
"This certainly is an honor and I was absolutely surprised," said Jones. "I am astonished."
Jones started in the school district after a brief visit to the Salem County area from his home state of West Virginia.
He graduated from West Virginia University with a secondary education degree in Social Studies.
After speaking with local administrators he was persuaded to stay in Upper Pittsgrove to serve as the district's special education teacher.
"I happen to be here in the summer of 1964 and the county superintendent at the time made it known that they needed teachers, especially special education teachers," said Jones. "There was no formal classification at this time there wasn't even child study team, but I figured I'd give special education a try."
A few years after taking his first teaching job Jones was drafted into the Vietnam War, and for two years he fought for this country.
When he returned to the rural town of Upper Pittsgrove, he obtained a second bachelors degree in elementary education and a special education certificate from Glassboro State College. He also obtained a masters degree in school administration.
Jones taught 7th grade the Upper Pittsgrove School from 1973 to 1992 until he was hired as the school principal. He served at that post until 1998 when he retired.
After retirement still committed to his passion for education, Jones ran for school board and was elected. From 1999 until he decided to not run for re election in 2011 he served as school board president.
"I'm 71 I could have run another time, but every year you stay on the board you take away the chance of a new parent getting experience on the board," said Jones. "It was time for me to get out of the way and let a new group of younger parents manage the district."
Superintendent for the Upper Pittsgrove School District Dr. Robert Bazzel said he has had a close working relationship with Jones for the past seven years.
"Tom (Jones) has been a wise and thoughtful board member, who really cares about the kids," said Bazzel. "He has been a mentor to a whole generation of school board members."
Bazzel said during Jones's time on the Upper Pittsgrove Board he has made moves to implement shared service agreements to bring a superintendent, business administrator and a child study team to the district at a low cost.
He also worked to bring geothermal and solar power to the district.
"This has allowed the district to focus the limit resources we do have on the kids," said Bazzel. "These were ground breaking and tough decisions that weren't always popular, but his motive was what's best for the children."
Jones, who is a lover of folk music, has been married to wife Mary since 1965. They have two children Jennifer and Jill. He regularly donates his time by volunteering at a soup kitchen twice a week, and he also works to support hospice patients.
Though he admitted he will miss his duties on the school board he said he doesn't plan to lose contact with the school he loves.

East, Strong Vincent on collision course
East boys basketball coach Matt Jones always sees success from his team as a positive for the Erie community.
He'd even like to see a crosstown rival in a week for the District 10 Class AAA championship.
"It would be a great thing for each school and the Erie School District, but even more so for the whole city of Erie," Jones said about possibly meeting Strong Vincent a third time for the D-10 title. "When we play each other, it's always a great game and the community gets a chance to see it all. Basketball is a positive outlet for many people, including players, coaches and citizens of Erie."
The two teams will begin the District 10 Class AAA playoffs tonight with quarterfinal games in Erie County. Strong Vincent will play Hickory at 8 p.m. at Edinboro's McComb Fieldhouse, while East takes on Grove City at 8 p.m. at Mercyhurst University.
Before the season, the thought of the Warriors and Colonels meeting for the D-10 title might have seemed a little far-fetched. Strong Vincent returned a young team and East would need to prove it belonged despite having plenty of returning talent.
Both teams have developed quickly and both are big-time threats to win the D-10 Class AAA title.
"It seems like we are playing with confidence right now," Strong Vincent coach Shannon Pullium said. "We have been stressing to take each game possession by possession. I feel the boys are comfortable in what we are doing and have accepted their individual roles."
Several times this season when asked about Strong Vincent's success in the region, a sly grin came across Pullium's face as he remembers how close the Colonels were to knocking off East.
Both times the two rivals met, the game came down to the final minute.
East won the first game on Jan. 11 54-53 after Strong Vincent turned the ball over with a few seconds left. The Warriors then won 58-54 on Feb. 1.
East led 56-54 with 3.3 seconds left but couldn't convert on two free throws. Kyree Kirkland jumped into the paint to grab the rebound to secure the East win.
"The biggest key this season was taking pride in our defense," Jones said. "We continued to get better defensively as the season went on. Also, everyone has stepped up when we were down players due to sickness and other situations."
East's depth has been a major factor in its success this season.
Starters Sanel Burzic and Kirkland each missed two weeks because of a violation of team rules. East lost one game in that stretch to Class AAAA McDowell. Kirkland has led the way with 17.4 points per game, while Justus Davis is at 13 ppg and Tyquis Johnsin is adding 12.8 ppg. Kirkland and Davis each scored 20 points in a 69-49 win over Harbor Creek last week to lock up East's third region title since 2010.
The Warriors are now three wins from their second D-10 championship since 2010 and third D-10 title involving Jones as either a player or coach. Jones was a star player for the 2000 East team that won the D-10 Class AAA title.
"Our 'extended starters' have definitely stepped up this year, especially when times got hard," Jones said about his bench. "They understand the concept of making things happen when they get in the game. I always tell them that if they are wearing an East High jersey, they have to represent to their highest ability."
Ironically, the last time strong Vincent won a D-10 title was also in 2010 when the Colonels won the Class AAAA title.
"The difference this year has been how well the guys have adapted to the system," Pullium said. "They have been willing to learn and really want to get better. They have been working hard in the weight room and conditioning since the beginning of September."
The big question mark surrounding the Colonels this season was how well their freshman starters handled varsity basketball. David Morris and Simeal Wofford have far exceeded expectations and have become one of the more exciting duos in the area.
Morris is averaging 18.2 points per game as the 2-guard for Strong Vincent, while Wofford has facilitated the offense from the point guard position. Wofford is scoring nine points per game and both freshmen have played with the poise of seniors.
Class AAA started the season as a wide-open class and heading into tonight's quarterfinal round, all eight teams have the ability to make a run and win D-10. East and Vincent, however, have developed into favorites and could give the city of Erie one final showdown in a week.
"Once again, Class AAA is very wide open and any team can win any given night," Jones said. "I think each team has to be able to defend and make free throws in order to win in the playoffs. These next couple weeks will be a great time for some great basketball."

OXFORD, Ohio - Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger graduated from Miami University in southwest Ohio, about nine years after leaving for the NFL.
The university said the 30-year-old Roethlisberger received his bachelor's degree in education and joined nearly 600 students during Sunday's commencement at the campus in Oxford. His wife, Ashley, parents and grandmother attended.
Roethlisberger, who's led the Steelers to two Super Bowl titles, played football for Miami from 2001 to 2003 and set several school passing records. An associate dean said the quarterback was four courses short of graduation when he jumped to the NFL. He completed those courses over several years and finished this spring.

Ben Roethlisberger smiles before receiving his bachelor's degree during a commencement ceremony at Oxford, Ohio.
Roethlisberger said he felt it was important to finish his classes to illustrate the value of getting an education.
Roethlisberger had mentioned he was about to graduate when he served as the guest speaker for the Blair County Sports Hall of Fame ceremony last weekend in Altoona.
Two draft picks signed
PITTSBURGH - The Steelers signed fourth-round draft pick Alameda Ta'amu and fifth-round pick Chris Rainey.
Pittsburgh traded up in the fourth round to select Ta'amu with the 109th pick. The 6-foot-2, 348-pound nose tackle out of Washington is expected to back up veteran Casey Hampton this season.
Ta'amu recorded 109 tackles with 7 sacks and 16 tackles for loss during his last two seasons with the Huskies. He was an All-Pac 12 Conference honorable mention as a junior and a senior.
Rainey ran for 861 yards and two scores and caught 31 passes for 381 yards and two touchdowns in his senior year at Florida in 2011. He is expected to see time as a kick returner and as a third-down specialist.

Amylin Pharmaceuticals has succeeded in getting a temporary restraining order against Eli Lilly related to litigation involving the two companies' diabetes collaboration. Amylin reported on May 16 that it had filed a case against Lilly, stating that Lilly's diabetes partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim (BI) conflicted with its own alliance with Lilly.
The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California is restricting Lilly from proceeding with its plans to use the same sales force to sell both Amylin's exenatide and BI's linagliptin. The court also enjoined Lilly from disclosing any confidential information about exenatide to any of its sales representatives or employees participating in the marketing, promotion, or sale of linagliptin.
In 2002, Amylin inked a deal with Lilly for the global development and commercialization of exenatide, an injectable medicine indicated as a first-line treatment of type 2 diabetes. It is currently marketed as Byetta. The agreement also covered the long-acting exenatide formulation Bydureon. Last month this once-weekly version was recommended for approval in Europe by the EMA's CHMP advisory committee. In the U.S., however, FDA has responded with two complete response letters, and the companies have said they hope to have data for the agency by year end.
While the setback with Bydureon first came in March 2010, in January of this year Lilly entered an arrangement with BI for the development and commercialization of the latter's type 2 diabetes drug candidate, linagliptin. The medication was given the go-ahead by the FDA on May 3 and is under regulatory review in Europe and Japan.
Commenting on the court case, Enrique Conterno, president of Lilly Diabetes, says, "The focus of our business remains on the patients we serve. We seek to offer a broad range of treatment options, including important new therapies, to people with diabetes and their healthcare providers."
In Lilly's full-year financial statement, the company reported that worldwide Byetta sales decreased 11% to $710.2 million. Specifically, U.S. sales dropped 16% to $559.3 million, while sales outside the U.S. went up 17% to $150.9 million.
By the first quarter of this year, Lilly reported a sales reduction both in the U.S. and outside, citing competitive pressures. Worldwide sales of Byetta were $165.4 million in the first quarter of 2011, down 12% from Q1 FY '10. U.S. sales fell 15% to $128.0 million compared to the same period last year, while sales outside the U.S. decreased 2% to $37.4 million.
Lilly earns 50% of Byetta's gross margin in the U.S., 100% of sales outside the U.S., and 100% of sales of Byetta pen delivery devices to Amylin. Under the deal with BI, Lilly will earn 50% of the gross margin of linagliptin as well as other products covered in their alliance.
Besides linagliptin, BI and Lilly's diabetes pact includes BI's BI10773 and Lilly's two basal insulin analogues LY2605541 and LY2963016. BI also has an option to co-develop and co-commercialize Lilly's Phase II-stage anti-TGF-beta mAb. Both firms have the opportunity to earn milestone fees: BI could get an additional €625 million (about $884 million) and Lilly could receive up to $650 million.
Linagliptin is a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor and is designed to be a once-daily oral treatment. BI10773 is a sodium-dependent glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor that started in Phase III trials during 2010 as an oral medication. LY2605541 is reportedly a structurally novel basal insulin analogue, while LY2963016 is a new insulin glargine product.
Byetta and Bydureon are GLP-1 receptor agonists. In March 2010, FDA sent Amylin and Lilly a complete response letter raising concerns about product labeling with accompanying Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) and clarification of existing manufacturing processes.
Then in October 2010, the companies received another complete response letter asking for a thorough QT (tQT) study with exposures of exenatide higher than typical therapeutic levels of Bydureon. Additionally, the agency has asked for results of the Duration-5 study to evaluate the efficacy and thus safety and effectiveness labeling details for the commercial formulation of Bydureon.

Share a Moment with the Zomby
If you'd like to share a moment with the Zomby, fire up From Russia, With Love and fast-forward to the girl-on-girl Gypsy fight scene. Because that's some fun stuff.
Disappointing only for its lack of gratuitous nekkidness. Sean Connery, however, was at his very pretty best in this film.

• A structured, basic science curriculum was instituted for surgical residents of the University of Connecticut (Farmington) Integrated Residency Program during the 1990-1991 academic year in concordance with American Board of Surgery guidelines. The impact of the new program was measured by comparing performance on monthly basic science examinations, the in-training examination, and "mock" oral examinations for the 1990-1991 academic year with that of the preceding academic year. While monthly examination scores improved for the entire group of residents (67.7 vs 64.6), in-training and oral examination scores did not change significantly. Categorical residents generally demonstrated superior performance and greater improvement than did preliminary residents. Data analysis suggested that the new curriculum was an effective educational device and that university-designed monthly examinations were valid testing instruments, but there was an apparent incongruity between the goals of the curriculum and the American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination.

Golf capsules, Oct. 13
- At Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Lexi Thompson won the LPGA Malaysia by four strokes Sunday, giving the 18-year-old American her first victory of the season and second on the LPGA Tour.
"Words can't even describe the feeling I have right now," Thompson said.
Thompson finished at 19-under 265 at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club. She also won the 2011 Navistar LPGA Classic 2011 in Alabama.
"It's sort of like a rerun from Navistar, just having that feeling walking up to the 18th green, embracing the fans and just knowing you have the win under your belt," Thompson said. "It's very big. I have worked so hard between this whole last year since Navistar. It pays off and means so much to me."
Chinese star Shanshan Feng, the Reignwood LPGA Classic winner last week in China, was second after a 67.
- At Cary, N.C., Russ Cochran holed a 5-foot putt on the final hole for his fourth straight birdie and a one-stroke victory over David Frost in the SAS Championship.
The 54-year-old Cochran, also the 2010 winner at Prestonwood Country Club, closed with a 5-under 67 to finish at 17-under 199. The left-hander won the Principal Charity Classic in June in

If we can know or predict anything about the week two tilt between NFC South division rivals, the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers, it's this: The game will be a battle to the end.
The two teams have displayed animosity toward one another before.
With talk that the Saints had a bounty out on Cam Newton a year ago, that animosity figures to only increase in the week two matchup.
And with the way the Panthers have played the Saints over the years, Saints fans should be very weary about the possibility of the team starting 0-2 for the first time since 2007. The Panthers are not a team to be taken lightly.
Last week's ugly home loss to the Redskins ought to be enough reason for concern. Add to that the way the Panthers regularly compete and battle the Saints, and this game is a dangerous one for New Orleans.
Here are five ways the Saints can overcome the Panthers in this crucial week two game.

Chinese New Year in Analogue: From Diana Mini Dragon to LC-Wide Snake2013-02-25 2 Share Tweet
With the arrival of the Year of the Dragon, my ever-faithful Diana Mini was there to document my celebrations. A year and a lot more cameras later, the LC-Wide has been awesome in welcoming a significant year for me — my Year of the Snake!
In the previous year, I had only one toy-camera given to me as a birthday present from my sister in the year 2011. While the photos in the Dragon year of 2012 were awesome and even helped me to win 2012's CNY Rumble, the spectacular magic of the LC-Wide has given me three whole rolls of beautiful, unique memories!
I got the LC-Wide as a graduation present from my parents upon completing my Bachelor's Degree. Prior to owning one, I was always so amazed and awed by the photos other lomographers continuously posted up on their LomoHomes. Everyone who possessed an LC-Wide clearly loved having one, and the photos left me completely sold!
It was obviously the perfect camera to document four days back in the kampung for CNY celebrations. I'm Chinese Malaysian, and in Malaysia CNY is a major festival — it's a two-day public holiday and national schools often get the entire week off; KL city becomes deserted as Malaysians take the opportunity to visit their hometowns — something we call 'balik kampung' — and the festive air in the other states truly leave me looking forward to travelling 5 hours by car every year as the journey itself is a mini-adventure. My parents' hometowns in the north always hold excitement for me even after two and a half decades of CNY celebrations there!
While I am a city girl, the kampung always holds a special nostalgic place in my heart – it is the home of my grandparents, my parents' childhood, and of CNY memories and good times. I'm glad the LC-Wide has given me the chance to document such wonderful memories in equally if not more amazing analogue photos.
Here's to many more rolls from the LC-Wide!
The Lomo LC-Wide boasts the newly-developed 17mm Minigon Ultra-Wide Angle lens. This 35mm camera wonder is the perfect companion for your photo expeditions. It produces eye-catching splashes of colour with astonishing saturation and contrasts with the added versatility of 3 different formats. Open up to a new photographic experience with the LC-Wide, available in our Shop.

Inaugurated in 1966, the Surrey Festival of Dance saw 450 dancers—not bad for a first year! The Festival would grow to be much, much bigger, however. Now the competition hosts over 10,000 competitors. And where early competitors competed at everything from churches to libraries, they now compete at first-class performance theatres such as the Surrey Arts Centre and the Bell Centre for Performing Arts. The competition is a great opportunity for competitors, who can gain invaluable experience, make new friends and even win scholarships and bursaries to continue their education in dance.
The Festival also hosts a few special events in addition to regular competitions. The "No Borders' Group Dance Challenge" is a completely open dance challenge with over $13000 in cash and the title of "Grand Champion" on the line. The Dance & Wellness Seminar Workshop is a great opportunity for students and teachers alike to learn about nutrition and injury prevention in addition to dance.
For more information about the festival, check out their website. Tickets to performances are available at the door.
If you want to check out any of the action in the upcoming month, then we here at the Pacific Inn Resort Hotel & Conference Centre would love to have you. Just a 20-minute drive for the Surrey Arts Centre and minutes from the beautiful beaches of White Rock, BC, we're in the perfect spot. And with fantastic, luxurious rooms and too many amenities to list, you'll be glad you chose us.

Grócio E a Ética Da Lei Natural
Arnaldo Gonçalves
Catholic University-Lisbon; International Political Science Association (IPSA)
June, 22 2009
Grotius, the 17th century European philosopher, is a landmark in the Enlightnment Thought, considering the role of Justice and Law in a society that is ruled by the Natural Law, that is the law that is previous to the law draft by man and inspire and legitimatize it. Grotius believed that according with the perfectioning of Man a socety will come on which peace will prevail as Man acquire the abality to act according with its conscience, that is Reason and Sense of Justice. The next three hundred years of history of Mankind quickly contradited the idealism of Grotius but his inheritors, the international jurists, defend that in a system based on international rules, where nations are judged by their conformity to the international law, peace and security will, definitively, prevail.

WDJW IVIn today's WDJW, we take a look at an often overlooked Air Jordan model and an awkward moment in Michael Jordan's career.
Find out what happened after the cut!
After MJ's first retirement, we saw him wear the Air Jordan X and the Air Jordan XI. We've already featured him with the Air Jordan XI "Concord", now we take a look at the Air Jordan X "Chicago". The Jordan X was released in different city colors to celebrate Jordan's career and let other people carry his legacy. Of course Michael Jordan would return and wear his city's colors.
The Jordan X isn't the special thing about this photo, take a look at Jordan's shorts. He actually wore them backwards with the NBA logo facing the back. It's kinda funny considering he's been wearing basketball shorts all his life and we actually see him wear them wrong. Even legends make weird mistakes.

Many of the candidates listed on the Barbour County Nov. 6 election ballot met at Philip Barbour High School Thursday evening to discuss the issues in front of a local crowd.
Dozens of residents from the surrounding area turned out to listen to incumbents and challengers running for offices at the county, state and federal level.
"All the local candidates were extended an invitation to attend," said Mike Cvechko, the moderator of the event.
Each candidate was given three minutes to address the crowd. Following the introductions, anonymous written questions were taken from the audience.
Incumbent Democrat Mary Poling and Republican challenger John Rose, facing off in the race for the 47th Delegate District seat, both spoke at Thursday's event.
They each answered the question, "What are the two distinct differences between you and your opponent?"
"The vast experience I have with the legislative process," Poling said.
"I believe in people politics and I believe my opponent believes in party politics," Rose responded.
All three candidates in the race for Barbour County Commissioner - incumbent Republican Phil Hart, Democrat Dana Booth and Independent Susie Phillips - were present at the forum.
Hart garnered applause with his answer to the question, "What is your plan in the next six years to bring jobs to Barbour County?"
"We need to promote what we have," Hart said. "Let's maintain and support the businesses we have today."
"We need to advertise Barbour County," Booth responded.
In her opening statement, Phillips was quick to mention her dedication and work ethic.
"When I start something I am there until I'm finished," she said.
In the race for county sheriff, incumbent Democrat John Hawkins told the crowd that, in his re-election campaign, he has gone door-to-door less this year because he is committed to the demands of his position.
Hawkins will square off in the election against Republican challenger Jody Haller, who was not present Thursday.
Incumbent Republican John Cutright, who is unopposed in his re-election bid for Barbour County assessor, spoke at Thursday's event.
Also in attendance was incumbent Democrat Leckta Poling, who is running for re-election as Barbour's prosecuting attorney.
Republican Brian Sevilla, who is running for Secretary of State, was the only candidate for state office to attend. He is challenging incumbent Democrat Natalie Tennant, who was not present.
Democrat challenger Sue Thorn, running for the 1st Congressional District seat, was the only candidate at the federal level to take part in the forum. Incumbent Republican David McKinley was not in attendance.
The forum was sponsored by the Barbour County Chamber of Commerce and the Barbour County Senior Center.

— TrevorGet a Park Passport. It's an inexpensive souvenir, and a good reminder of your visit. Our family loves to collect them.
It began on the swampy marshes of Jamestown in 1607. It ended on the battle scarred landscape of Yorktown in 1781. It was one hundred and seventy-four years of hope, frustration, adventure, discovery, growth, and development that saw a lonely settlement of 104 men and boys grow into a nation of 13 colonies of 3 million people, of many races and many beliefs. Jamestown and Yorktown mark the beginning and end of English Colonial America. The Cape Henry Memorial commemorates the site where a wooden cross was erected by the early English settlers upon their safe arrival to Virginia in April of 1607. According to George Percy, one of the early settlers, "The nine and twentieth day we set up a cross at Chesupioc Bay, and named the place Cape Henry."

Background: Over 20 countries currently use the Minimum Data Set Resident Assessment Instrument (MDS) in long-term care settings for care planning, policy, and research purposes. A full assessment of the quality of the diagnostic information recorded on the MDS is lacking.
Objective: The primary goal of this study was to examine the quality of diagnostic coding on the MDS.
Study Sample: Subjects for this study were admitted to Ontario Complex Continuing Care Hospitals (CCC) directly from acute hospitals between April 1, 1997 and March 31, 2005 (n = 80,664).
Methods: Encrypted unique identifiers, common across acute and CCC administrative databases, were used to link administrative records for patients in the sample. After linkage, each resident had 2 sources of diagnostic information: the acute discharge abstract database and the MDS. Using the discharge abstract database as the reference standard, we calculated the sensitivity for each of 43 MDS diagnoses.
Results: Compared with primary diagnoses coded in acute care abstracts, 12 of 43 MDS diagnoses attained a sensitivity of at least 0.80, including 7 of the 10 diagnoses with the highest prevalence as an acute care primary diagnosis before CCC admission.
Conclusions: Although the sensitivity was high for many of the most prevalent conditions, important diagnostic information is missed increasing the potential for suboptimal clinical care. Emphasis needs to be put on improving information flow across care settings during patient transitions. Researchers should exercise caution when using MDS diagnoses to identify patient populations, particularly those shown to have low sensitivity in this study.

Fred Savage, Jenny Lewis, Luke Edwards
Attention, kids: This is not an instructional movie. The big video game competition in Los Angeles is fictitious, bikers will not be real nice to you if they pick you up on the highway, and if you go out hitchhiking, the odds are you won't meet anyone near as cute as Fred or Jenny.
If you can pry yourself away from those power-ups, turbo controllers and 10,000-point bonuses, though, here's a neat film for you. It's about power-ups, turbo controllers and 10,000-point bonuses—and it's even tolerable for grown-ups.
Savage, the star of TV's The Wonder Years, seems so sensible and articulate that at 13 he looks a bit like a compressed adult. He plays a Utah boy whose younger half-brother, I Know My First Name Is Steven star Luke Edwards, has been so traumatized by his twin sister's drowning death that he is all but autistic.
In the course of running away from home, Edwards uncovers a new talent for playing arcade games, and the two boys hook up with another runaway, Jenny Lewis, 14, a gamine type who played Shelley Long's daughter in Troop Beverly Hills. As they head for the big tournament in L.A., they are pursued by Beau Bridges, as the boys' father, and Will Seltzer, as a child-finder hired by Edwards's mother.
Director Todd Holland, a recent UCLA Film and Television School grad, and TV writer David Chisholm seem to have run out of brilliant ideas after "video game craze" and "movie" occurred to them in the same sentence. Other than a buffoonish running skirmish between Bridges and Seltzer, very little happens until the kids get to Los Angeles.
Video game scholars may question Edwards's ability to become such a whiz practically overnight—even some adults (who shall go unidentified, thank you) have a rough time getting past the "start-continue" board in most cases. But the three little stars get a lot of mileage out of just hanging out, and Edwards, despite having very few lines, is most ingratiating. The ending, out of the Karate Kid/Rocky school of cinematic sophistication, is satisfyingly overwrought. (PG)

How does the statement go? "A mother know best?"
For Albie, he knows best on tonight's webisode of "Boys to Manzo".
On trip to Home Goods with his mother Caroline for some home décor for his new apartment in the Mile Square City, Albie realizes why he left his home in Franklin Lakes: Caroline keeps insisting to her 25-year-old son that he needs to buy an extra blanket for his room because "it gets cold there" and hangers "to keep your closet neat."
Caroline seems to be thrilled to hear her first-born finds dates in Washington Street bars.
"I want a tongue ring, a nice orange glow about them, and a cigarette would help," she says sarcastically.
Albie's family seems extra-interested in his dating life, but he says, "They don't know what I need, I do, and I think I'm a good judge of people, and I'll be alright."
We hope so.
But you can't blame a mother for trying.
Back at the River Street apartment, Chris helps Albie pick something out to wear for his date, on a Wednesday night.
And if the Wednesday date night hasn't puzzled you, perhaps Albie's closet would: all similar pinstripe button downs.
Albie decides to ditch "Beer, Sports, and Women," with Chris and Greg, for a night on the town with his date.
But is it worth it?
Tune in next week on bravotv.com.

Allahu Akbar
The capture and death of Col Gaddafi
|Posted on
|Take our short survey, £100 of Amazon vouchers to be won!
Good; this is not some benevolent revolution, but one of sadistic and violent young men, if he had still have been alive he would have suffered greatly.
It's great that, if it is actually him who has been captured (I've heard it's still to be confirmed for definite), as it's a symbol of the people overthrowing a dictator. I don't agree on imposing beliefs and ideals upon nations, but the people of Libya chose to remove this power hungry lunatic with force - we, as western nations, may have helped, but we did so out of a common cause for democracy, and the people of Libya demanded democracy.
I'm not condoning that we invade countries purely because they should be democratic, or that we view them as barbaric - I don't like cultural imperialism. But I am certainly for the removal of dictators when their people want rid of them.
Another one bites the dust
Reuters reporting his death...
Another dictator gone.Power to the people of Libya
If he is indeed dead we need to see proof or will he be buried at sea like Obama was?
Where does it say he's died?
Only seen BBC and Sky that say he's been captured.

The front page of AJE reports that he's dead. I think it's a safe bet that he really is...

Why do all dictators resort to "hiding in a hole" ?
It doesn't work!
Actually it's "yet to be confirmed".
Reported, but not yet validated.
EDIT: Confirmed now.
Ooopss......I'm sorry I;m very tired .Ofcourse I meant Osama!!
Gaddafi being finally captured, imo, isn't really a significant milestone. He's already been irrelevant for a while.
I'm more worried/interested by this:
Libya's Interim Leader Says He Is Quitting
Significant quotes:
Mahmoud Jibril, a U.S.-educated economist who helped persuade NATO members to launch their Libya campaign last March, also announced in an interview with TIME that he was quitting — potentially leaving Libya in a perilous state of limbo.
"We have moved into a political struggle with no boundaries," Jibril said, looking glum, rather than a man rejoicing liberation. "The political struggle requires finances, organization, arms and ideologies," he said. "I am afraid I don't have any of this."
He warned that the longer the fighting lasted, so the possibility increased for Libya turning "from a national struggle to chaos," and becoming a battleground for "all the foreign powers which have their own agendas towards Libya.
After the iranian revolution, the provisional government was made up of western educated (us, swiss etc..) professionals, secular democrats. When the hostage crisis happened, they all pretty much had to resign because there was so much ideology and conflict going on that they were left behind and Ayatollah Khomeini came out on top.
Dropping bombs and missiles and militarily fighting to take over cities doesn't give way to democracy. Democracy comes from a grass roots movement, where the essential human values required in a democracy are respected by everyone.
That is why after the 2009 iranian election, 3million people in the streets went home. They didn't take up arms to fight, because iran had gone through this before and obviously didn't work out right and those who wanted to fight back were set straight by the fellow protestors (people who had been imprisioned by the regime etc..) to stop and march silently, non violently. Theres loads of videos from the protests where people capture a revolutionary guard or basij and one or two want to beat him up, the crowd pull the guard/basij away to safety chanting "leave him alone".
The downside of course is that you don't get change as quickly as you may like. Its a slowly but surely method. (in theory)
In reference to the last quote i quoted. Even the interim leader who has personally spoken to Sarkozy and the other leaders involved in Libya, is publicly speaking out against them... That was a clear and direct statement, theres really no other way you can take it.

No, but using a protocol helper you can do this for a different port.

Whether or not you consider yourself a mouse aficionado, this little rodent probably has affected your life. In preschool did you sing the nursery rhyme "Three Blind Mice"? Do you remember tuning in to the Mickey Mouse Club every week? Maybe your favorite mouse character was Ralph S. Mouse, the adorable hero of the Beverly Cleary book series The Mouse And The Motorcycle.
In all kinds of categories, mice inspire us with their whimsy and make us remember a time when we embraced their innocence. Let's take a look at some mice from pop culture with the following lists; space limitations allow details about only the first three in each list, but that leaves more for you to explore!

We're in mourning in the Wright household. Yesterday, my Xbox 360 officially died. The three red rings of death visited our happy home.
A quick call to Microsoft support and it's covered under warranty. Unfortunately it'll be about three weeks before I get it back.
I've heard of the three red rings of death a lot, but always thought "that can't happen to me." Well, friend, I'm here to tell you it can happen to anyone. They should have some kind of public service announcements or something. "The more you know" style.

AS ONE OF THE plaintiffs in the recent successful verdict against the School District of Philadelphia, I take issue with some of the points that Rotan Lee made in his Dec. 28 op-ed, "In Defense of Carl and the Cracker Slur."
I have no problem with Mr. Lee's defense of Carl Singley's outburst as "venting." What I do resent is his contention that there was "backslapping jocularity between the plaintiffs and the jurors."
First of all, Mr. Lee wasn't there in the courthouse and wouldn't know firsthand what transpired. Second, there absolutely was no communication between the jury and the plaintiffs. Unlike Mr. Singley, we followed the judge's instructions and made certain we were never close to the jurors outside the courtroom.

"No Comment - Before Sunset" is Leonhard's decelerated take and tailor-made for Café Del Mar moments, while the outer space sound of "No Comment - Anywhere" invites the listener to drift into another world. His chilled versions are followed by a number of dancefloor remixes: with "No Comment - What Was The Question Again?", sound architect Thomas Touzimsky piles track upon track, larding its structure with exciting highlights. "This is highend producing, a track like taken from the future" Leonhard raves. Scanner's "No Comment - Angel Z Mix", a 90's style techno remix, also receives his praise: "He really reached deeply into his bag of old-school tricks - contemporary and incredibly danceable". Last but not least, Sven Schienhammer caps it all off with his bubbly underwater sounds of "No Comment - Quantec Mix", a lush dub techno remix." (label info) 6-track EP

Law enforcement officers said they're doing everything they can to make sure patrons are safe.
Last year, there were a little less than two dozen arrests. Those numbers are down from 2010.
During the 2012 New Mexico State Fair, law enforcement will be cracking down on gang activity. State police will patrol every inch of the fairgrounds from the carnival area to the parking lots.
Police said criminals will take any chance they can to make you their next victim.
"Criminals are opportunists and they're going to take that opportunity to get people who aren't paying attention or where there's large crowds," Lt. Rob McDonald said.

from Mad-Yet?:
As the inaugural post to this blogs views on the happenings in the world today, I want to say I write from the vantage of a person that is finished playing the banks games, the Govt's games, the corporate games and the Mass Media's games. The majority of Americans have simply lost or stopped using their critical thinking skills. (See here for details)
Since 9/11 we have been fed stories of heroism & how much we "NEED" protection from the boogie man called "Terrorist". To make matters worse, if you don't agree with the Govt's/MSM's fictional story/position/agenda driven media then YOU must be a terrorist. Recently, citizens have even been threatened with prosecution for simply asking questions or using those critical thinking skills I talk about above. (See here for more Details)
For those of you that haven't been paying attention, we have lost so many rights, and had so many liberties stolen from us due to lobbyists and special interest groups that you are no longer represented in any significant way. Many even think the Republic itself is beyond repair. But this makes you have the advantage because you are now the most dangerous kind of citizen… the kind with nothing to lose.

Perhaps as an outdoor writer it is my appointed lot to hear all manner of gripes and opinions on outdoor subjects. We all have the right to express our opinions freely, but in the outdoor world, we can get pretty firm about what we view as the "unsporting practices'' of other hunters.
As if enduring the harangues of anti-hunters is not enough, it is surprising how we snipe at fellow sportsmen for using methods or equipment foreign to our own way of thinking. Every time something new is introduced, some group gets vocal about how "unsporting'' it is.
The latest is the flap about using crossbows. The same rhetoric was used when recurve bows were introduced to the hunting world. The longbow-only crowd was incensed; then when compound bows came along, the opposition was a roar. Always, the argument is the same: it isn't "sporting'' - in their opinion - and it will surely make hunting so easy it will decimate the resource.
Now, I'm not talking about things that are illegal such as poaching deer, shooting hours and so forth. Mostly, I'm referring to things that are accepted in one area and totally disdained in another. For instance, fly-fishermen sometimes denigrate any who fishes with live bait or artificial lures. The wild turkey "expert'' declares from a stage that hunting turkeys with a rifle in the fall should be outlawed.
This one particularly bothers me. He declares that shooting a turkey with a rifle is like shooting fish in a barrel, and so it is unsporting. "Anyone can pick off a turkey at 100 yards with a rifle,'' he declares.
Can they? Ask someone who has actually tried that trick, and you find it isn't so easy after all. Chances are good, he's never tried it. He's just decided that he doesn't like it so it ought to be outlawed.
Many groups or even individuals try to ram through laws on the basis of what is sporting, and there we get into trouble. Vying for laws to make hunting safer is one matter. But attempting to force all other hunters to hunt by our own personal notions of what is sporting is another matter indeed.
In the South, shooting a turkey off the roost is nothing unusual; in the North, it is considered "unsporting.'' I've heard folks pontificate loudly about how terrible it is that in other places black bears are hunted over bait. Yes, a bait pile in Pennsylvania's open woods and fields probably would be unsporting, but in Maine and Canada, for instance, where the forest is as thick as a Brazilian rain forest, there is simply no other way to do it. If you think you can still hunt or drive bears in that particular terrain, it is obvious you have never tried it.
In the South, it is common to drive deer through swamps with dogs; in the North, we would never do that. Some folks believe that hunting gobblers in the spring is so easy they won't dignify the sport by doing it. You'll generally always find out that those making such statements have never tried spring gobbler hunting.
Generally speaking, our opinions on the matter are shaped by the area of the nation in which we live and the attitudes of those who mentored us in the shooting sports. The great Roger Latham wrote in his book, "The Complete Book of the Wild Turkey,'' that he was taught not to ever shoot a turkey unless it was flying. He couldn't bring himself to shoot at a turkey on the ground even if he had called it in. He'd flush it then shoot as it lifted into the air.
While I never personally hunted with Latham, I did hunt many times with someone who was one of Latham's best friends. The man had absorbed Latham's philosophy, and when spring gobbler hunting was begun in Pennsylvania, he had a rough time acclimating himself to that style of hunting.
For years, it was illegal to hunt turkeys from a blind in our state, but that has been changed. Remember when the "cub law'' was instituted? That was when the silly criteria for deciding what bear actually was a cub couldn't be decided until its teeth were examined after the bear was dead. When that criteria was abolished, the entire hunting world, it seemed, was enraged. It would wipe out the bear population with a few years, sportsmen declared. But the scientific research showed that it would not, and now, there are more black bears in Pennsylvania than at any time in our history.
Everyone had an opinion back in the 1960s when doe hunting was begun. What a howl. "It would kill off the deer herd in a couple years time,'' disgruntled hunters said. But the deer population exploded to such an extent that a few years ago very strict population control measures had to be instituted, and that's the protest now.
Of course, we are all entitled to our own opinions, but we ought to be careful about trying to foist them onto other people. Especially when scientific, biological research shows our opinion is wrong. We don't like to admit that, do we?
