The police took away his shirt, which had three bullet holes. So says Carlos Gomez who survived a shooting outside of his public high school in Los Angeles. He quickly found himself expelled and had to scramble to find another school. Now a senior at Central High School, he's seen too much of his neighborhood devastated by gang violence, too much prejudice based simply on someone's neighborhood, too much abandoned property, too much discouragement.
But Carlos has chosen not to be discouraged, not to give in to the negatives that surround him. And one way he's thriving is by gardening—an unusual activity in his neighborhood. With AFSC's help, students from Central High, volunteers, and mentors took over a blighted, unused area near the school. The participants transplant seedlings and diligently water and weed the plots where they grow tomatoes, beans, radishes, cucumbers, and other vegetables.
In addition to a budding horticulturalist, Carlos is an artist who has creative plans for improving the garden layout, "decorating" it so that it becomes a welcoming space for people in his community. One day during his recent spring break, despite feeling under the weather, Carlos joined AFSC staff Anthony Marsh to go door-to-door to offer free vegetable seedlings. After assurances that they were not selling anything or asking anything of the occupants, they found ready acceptance of their gifts.
The seedling distribution was a prelude to community meetings for public housing residents. Los Angeles restricts them from having gardens or even planting flowers to enhance their surroundings. AFSC and Carlos want to change that restriction, which they believe is unjust. And the door-to-door visits are just one element to build momentum for that change.
In addition to his involvement with AFSC, Carlos is a volunteer sound engineer at a music studio. He plays guitar and piano, has begun to learn violin via lessons on YouTube, and takes African drumming classes. And, of course, he keeps up with his studies at Central High School where his favorite subject is history.
This multi-talented teen, whose single mother has six other children, has longrange goals. His first priority is to go to college. He wants to pursue his creative interests along with academic subjects. But his ultimate prize would be to start his own non-profit organization that combines a creative arts school with gardens. Carlos finds beauty in both.
Of his experience with AFSC, Carlos says, "It's been life-changing for me in such a positive way. I am more aware of the world around me, of what I don't like about it, and what I can do to change it. I know in my heart that one person can make a difference and improve life. That's what I want to do with mine!"

Making slime with kids of any age is a fun adventure, however with preschoolers, slime is fun and full of wonder. They enjoy mixing and watching ingredients dissolve and then are amazed at the transformation of liquid to sold. We played with different variations of the slime recipe and found both to be easy enough for little hands. The best part about making slime, it's science preschoolers will love. You can color your slime whatever color you'd like. We ended up making 4 different batches, experimenting with various additives and quantities, so in the end, our mixed slime looked pretty gross!
How make slime – glue and borax recipe
- 1/2 cup School glue
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tsp borax
- 1 cup water
- Mix 1/2 glue (about one bottle school glue) with 1/2 cup water. Mix well.
- Dissolve 1 tsp borax in 1 cup water. Slowly stir borax solution into glue solution. The more borax solution you add, the stiffer the slime will become.
How to make slime – glue and Tide laundry detergent recipe
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 school glue
- 1/4 cup liquid Tide laundry detergent
- Combine water and school glue, mix well. Slowly stir in Tide until slime forms
Making slime tips
- Always add the borax or laundry detergent to the glue solution to allow for more control over the consistency of the slime.
- If you'd like to add color or extras to your slime such as fragrance or glow liquids, make sure to add these extras to the glue solution before adding the laundry detergent.
- These ingredients are non-toxic, however should not be eaten and should be handled with adult supervision and all utensils washed thoroughly.
More slime recipes
- Glow in the dark slime made by Amy Locurto at LivingLocurto.com
- Lots of how to make slime videos are available on YouTube
- A whole pile of slime recipes are available from Chemistry.About.com
Making slime can be another fun way to explore colors and textures. Try mixing in different colors. What about combining different batches of slime. What happens when you add different extras to your slime mixture? What fun Slime recipe can you make?

The Most Disappointing Games of 2012
Disappointing - [Adjective] Failing to fulfill someone's hopes or expectations.
While 2012 proved that this generation is still very much alive with new and interesting games, several failed to live up to the high expectations. Whether it was apparent in the mechanics or presentation, a handful of games failed to deliver in the ways expected. The following isn't a list of the worst reviewed games, but the games that disappointed me. They're not necessarily bad games, perhaps a few might have been your favorite this year, but to me they failed to exceed my expectations.
Not only was SSX a reboot of a classic franchise, but it seemed to be the kick in the ass the extreme sport genre needed. With Tony Hawk tapering off, video games needed a new combo King. Unfortunately, SSX suffered from sloppy controls which resulted in frustrating difficulty. The real kicker is that the peaks were unique and littered with objects to shred, the visuals and presentation were spot on, and the game offered enough value for a purchase. But you can't have an extreme sports game that handles poorly. Loose controls mixed with the lightning quick speed of the game meant for several failed runs and an opportunity for broken controllers. If only this game played as well as the rest of the package.
Mass Effect 3
This game was not as promised. Several interviews suggested that they were bringing back more of the RPG roots, but I barely saw any new depth to the series. Mass Effect 2 was a decent game, but it stripped away the actual role playing from the series. Mass Effect 3 was beautiful, big and enjoyable, but the RPG mechanics failed to return, and even worse, the ending debacle cast a shadow of doubt over the series. We were promised an ending that would comprise of all of our choices. We were promised that the decisions we made in the first Mass Effect would yield huge results in the finale. None of this was fulfilled and the ending left a bitter taste in gamers mouths worldwide.
Silent Hill: Downpour
How long has it been since a Silent Hill game hasn't disappointed fans? Downpour proved that this series needs a reboot and quick. Clunky combat mechanics, murky visuals, and odd design choices make this a passable entry in the series. The atmosphere is still dark and the story interesting, but so many things bring it, and the series, down even further. As Silent Hill continues to switch developers, we fans sit and wait for a title that won't end in disappointment.
Resident Evil: Raccoon City
Raccoon City stands as one of the biggest facepalms of the year. Taking the beloved franchise and mixing it with a squad based shooter was the epitome of idiocy. Even if it could be done, Raccoon City was mishandled by the ridiculously mediocre Slant Six, the team responsible for butchering the Socom series (yes, even before Zipper did with Socom 4). Taking the horror out of the Resident Evil series wasn't a smart idea and goes to show how much a big name series still has the opportunity to fail.
Kinect Star Wars
Just plain garbage.
Hitman Absolution
Maybe it was because I played this after Dishonored. Maybe it was because I thought it would play differently. Maybe it was because I thought the developers would be clever, and try to innovate while keeping the trademark Hitman feel. Boy, was I wrong. Hitman Absolution wasn't a terrible game, but its mediocre mechanics, laughable story and characters, and ridiculous linearity caused it to be one of the biggest disappointments of the year. Nothing is worse than having one of the most innovative franchises strip away several aspects that made it great. Absolution failed to live up to my expectationns, and even for those who enjoyed it, they would never say it is a high point for the series.
What games failed to live up to your expectations? Was there any reason why? A game mechanic, a poorly written story, or a buggy mess that made it fail for you? Comment below!

The Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF) is located in the intake air stream and measures the mass of air entering the engine. The hot wire component of the MAF cools when air mass flows past. The electronic circuit component measures this change in temperature and converts it to a voltage or frequency signal. This signal is sent to the engine control unit to determine how much fuel to deliver to the engine so the vehicle can maintain optimal performance. Hitachi's MAF accurately controls the engine's air/fuel ratio for improved fuel economy and reduced emissions.
· High Quality Components – Provide for enhanced durability
· Calibrated for each application – Assists engine efficiency and fuel mileage
· 100% Air flow tested – Ensures ideal performance
· Hot-wire type
· Bore Sizes 45-90 mm
· Voltage and frequency type output
Signs to Service:
· Engine stalls while decelerating to stop vehicle
· Engine speed becomes low while decelerating when turning
· Low idling speed or inconsistent idling speed

This procedure does not get the respect it deserves, probably because on some days the operation can be remarkably easy. At other times, however, it can be distressingly difficult, and many a surgeon has been humbled by it. Several issues raised by the authors deserve comment. Whoever is performing the preoperative endoscopy should be advised of the diagnosis, as perforation can result from forceful entry into the diverticulum while mistaking it for the esophageal lumen. Except in unique circumstances, general anesthesia should be employed. The authors' recommendation for laryngoscopy at this point with suctioning and packing of the diverticulum seems to be an excellent one, as initial identification of the sac can occasionally be difficult. Although the authors hedge a bit regarding transection of the strap muscles, this step plus ligation of the middle and inferior thyroid vessels enhances exposure significantly. I must admit that I have never identified a recurrent laryngeal nerve solely by palpation—but whatever means are used, this is a critical step, as injury to this structure represents the most serious complication of the procedure. Another important step emphasized by the authors is the posterior placement and length of the myotomy. I am a bit puzzled by their insistence on a proximal myotomy, if indeed a "Zenker diverticulum is a pulsion diverticulum due to an outflow obstruction caused by a noncompliant fibrotic cricopharyngeal sphincter." I have never performed this step and, to my knowledge, none of my patients has suffered a recurrence. I agree with the authors that most diverticula should be treated by suspension to the prevertebral fascia rather than excision. Not only does this simplify the procedure, but also it eliminates the possibility of leakage from the esophageal suture line. In my opinion, drainage should only be employed if an excision has been carried out or if the mucosa has been entered and repaired during performance of the myotomy. Last, the authors' recommendations regarding postoperative care seem quite conservative. Not allowing a patient with a diverticulopexy liquids until postoperative day 2 and then insisting on the presence of a physician implies at least a 2-day hospitalization for these patients, many of whom could be safely discharged on the first postoperative day. This article represents an excellent description of the operative treatment of patients with a Zenker diverticulum from one of our country's premier esophageal groups, and it should be closely studied by every surgeon attempting this procedure.

Womens Golfers Complete Busy Tournament Week
With the summer tournament schedule in full swing, last week was action-packed for the Ball State women's golf program.
From Pennsylvania to Toronto to Franklin, Ind., current or former Ball State players were involved in tournament play.
A handful of them were in the field for the Indiana PGA Women's Open at Hillview Country Club in Franklin. Brittany Kelly, a 2011 graduate and a former champion at the event, finished tied for fifth at 1 over par through two days. Incoming freshman Kayla Adamson of Marion, Ind., tied for ninth at 4 over. Rising junior Karley Dobis tied for 29th, while incoming freshman Morgan Nadaline tied for 33rd.
Rising senior Jenna Hague played once again in the Women's Western Amateur Championship after finishing runner-up in the event last year. She missed out on the championship flight of match play after the stroke-play qualifying rounds, but she reached the quarterfinals of the first consolation flight. The Western Am was played at Lancaster Country Club, site of next year's U.S. Women's Open.
Up in Toronto, rising sophomore Kelsey Sear and rising junior Meghan McDougall played in the Toronto Star Women's Amateur. Sear carded rounds of 74 and 79 to tie for eighth place in the stroke-play portion of the event. She then advanced to the quarterfinals of the championship flight of match play. McDougall played in the first consolation flight, winning three matches to reach the finals.

There are good banks and bad banks. How do you distinguish between the two? Which of the seemingly innumerable metrics and quantitative measures should you rely on in your analysis?
The bad news is that most figures cited in the financial media about banks are irrelevant noise. The good news, on the other hand, is that there are really only two that matter -- or, to be more precise, that matter demonstrably more than the rest.
Indeed, by nailing these two traits, investors can realistically hope to earn the same type of phenomenal compound annual growth rates that the likes of M&T Bank (NYSE: MTB ) , U.S. Bancorp (NYSE: USB ) , and Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) have returned for their shareholders over the past three decades.
With this in mind, the video below expands on our popular free report, "Finding the Next Bank Stock Home Run," by going into the two most critical things that every investor must be aware of when buying or owning a bank.

Rihanna's 'Unapologetic' is disturbing, personal pop
"You'll always be mine, sing it to the world / Always be my boy, I'll always be your girl."
On paper those words, from a track called "Nobody's Business," are as generic as love lyrics come. But when you have Rihanna singing them to Chris Brown, who famously abused her in 2009, then you've got one of the most disturbing listens in pop history. »Read Full Article

'Collected Stories' collaboration an uneven read
Neatly arranged nesting dolls - appearing on an upstage table in a Greenwich Village apartment - tell us a lot about the theme and structure of Donald Margulies' "Collected Stories." Under C. Michael Wright's direction, the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre and Madison's Forward Theater Company opened a collaborative production of Margulies' play Friday night.
Author Ruth Steiner (Sarah Day) has lived in that apartment for more than 30 years. Star-struck Lisa Morrison (Laura Frye), the young writer who bursts into Ruth's life in the first scene, is Ruth's latest protégée - another nesting doll aspiring to replicate, on a smaller scale, her master's form. »Read Full Article

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — Haggen Inc. here yesterday said Dave Norton, senior vice president of sales and marketing, has announced plans to retire, effective Sept. 11. No successor has been named yet.

Gambling foes kept casinos out of the Buckeye State for years while surrounding states cashed in on the loot. Now, Columbiana County and the rest of Ohio is beginning to reap benefits from the first two legal casinos in the state.
County commissioners recently announced the receipt of $93,898, thanks to casino gambling.
Over the past few months, casinos in Cleveland and Toledo opened, and state licensing law requires them to pay a 33 percent gross revenue tax, a portion of which goes to counties based on population.
The $93,898 which was due to be deposited with the county by the end of July represents a little over one month's worth of taxes generated by both casinos. The money will be paid to counties every quarter. School districts are also going to receive a share of the tax twice a year, starting in January. Two more casinos are scheduled to open, as well.
Commissioner Mike Halleck estimated that the annual casino revenue would be $700,000 to $800,000, which would offset the anticipated $600,000 in Local Government Fund loss. He wants to see the money used for unanticipated expenses like replacing a section of the county jail roof and repairing the roof at the county juvenile court building.
While commissioners are pleased with the windfall, they are wise to exercise caution in how they allocate the money. Bearing in mind that interest may wane after the novelty of these new casinos wears off, commissioners should not use this extra money for personnel costs and shouldn't rely on it for other budgetary needs. A rainy day fund for roof repairs and other unforeseen expenses is a good idea, but so is earmarking some of it for capital improvement projects which can be put on the back burner if gambling revenue declines.

in the right direction as I eat my sirloin.
in the right direction as I eat my sirloin.
Have you done any reading around the forum or elsewhere on cortisol? All of this angst and worry may itself be creating little stalls. Stress consistently stalls me out, and one of the best things I can do is forget about it.
I know you want to keep the routine of weighing, but I will tell you something that was helpful for me. I did my version of a "whole30" (picking up IniQuity's take on it, 30DONN - days of no nonsense) last spring sometime. I was eating very clean so I cut out dairy and caffeine, just to see if it made a difference, vowed to exercise more, and swore off the scale. I've been a daily weigh-er pretty much all my life, even when it was a horror show on the way up.
It was really hard. And now I weigh pretty much every day again. But that spell of not weighing really took the frustration of the daily numbers away (I lost about 5 pounds that month). I'm trying to keep inching down, and I have quite a bit more to lose. But you know, if I stay at this level, I'm still *50* pounds down from my peak. (And so are you, essentially.) And by the stars above, that feels AWESOME. I lost most of that 50 pounds in the first three months, but let's call it 50 pounds in a year and change.
It took me more than a decade to pack those pounds on. So if it takes me another year or so to get where I want, that's probably as fast as I *should* lose it, to keep the loss sustainable and healthy as my body does whatever it needs to in order to adjust. Losing weight can stress your systems (see cortisol again!). And of course I'm not going to see a difference every day (or so) on the scales.
Maybe not 30DONN for you, but only weigh every other day? Or some other system, like you were doing before? Just a thought.

Patience might be easier if I had gained this in a slow creep over decades. But I was 137 pounds at 19 years old and 207 pounds at 20. This was almost an overnight weight gain. It was just BAM, normal to obese. But there has been no BAM from obese to normal. That's annoying, but it's okay. As long as I trend down, even slowly, at least it's going down. I'm just fearful that the damage done by the pills will be too much to overcome, and that feeds into my anxiety when weeks go by with no change. I worry that my body has hit the point where it can go no further. It's also why I selected 166 as a goal weight instead of 137, because I don't want to set myself up for disappointment. Set the bar very low and maybe one day I'll cross it!
My cortisol thermostat is set to high, unfortunately, and has been since I was a cub.
You've lost 50 pounds?! That's fantastic! CONGRATULATIONS!
Sanity? What is this sanity thing of which you speak? I am unfamiliar with it . . .
I don't know the exact numbers, but I blew up at the end of/after college and have been struggling with it ever since. I don't have the "wow I'm so thin now!" moments because I might be down 15 or 20# from my own high score- 217.5 on 5'6 or 7 depending on the day- but I know what I looked and felt like at 155 in college. I didn't appreciate it then- but I looked good! So there's no way that I'm not a large shirt, right? I couldn't possibly be an XL and I am sufficiently practiced at self-delusion that this has been going on for some time now . . . So I feel your pain at it not moving. This body isn't MY body- it's just the one I'm stuck with right now.
" You can be the most perfect candidate for a job in the world, but have your application thrown out because you are a Scorpio."
grumble...grumble...Scorpio discrimination...not fair......grumble...grumble.....
I didn't appreciate what I had either, but then again I had nothing with which to compare it since I'd always been an average-sized panda. It's surreal to have this image of your body size firmly rooted in your mind, but to see a completely different one in the mirror. Like you, this body isn't MY body, it's just the one I somehow landed in, and I WANT OUT.
I honestly thought cortisol was imaginary, made up to sell diet drugs and the like, until I started reading about it in paleo and primal articles, and the research. How did you find out that your cub level was high?I'm just fearful that the damage done by the pills will be too much to overcome, and that feeds into my anxiety when weeks go by with no change. I worry that my body has hit the point where it can go no further. [...]
My cortisol thermostat is set too [FTFY ] high, unfortunately, and has been since I was a cub.
I'm back to working hard on fixing my omega ratios and taking fish oil and Vitamin D. That makes a lot of difference for me in getting good sleep, which makes a lot of difference in not getting too anxious. I can put myself into a frenzy over nothing if the right trigger hits at the wrong moment.
Aw, shucks. Thanks. Sometimes all I can see is the stall. It's good to focus on the positive! You should too!You've lost 50 pounds?! That's fantastic! CONGRATULATIONS!

With a 10-game win streak under their belts as well as the league's best record, the San Antonio Spurs are in a very familiar position.
As the regular season draws to a close, the veteran squad is preparing to translate its regular-season success into the playoffs, where it will again compete for a championship.
But in order for San Antonio to capture that coveted fifth title, its individual players will need to thrive continuously, regardless of how big the stage gets.
Of course, the components that form this well-oiled machine have hardly shown any long-lasting signs of weakness and actually appear to be growing stronger as the season progresses.
With the most important part of the season ahead, it is once again time to evaluate the talented players who ensure that the Spurs' system remains without parallel.

Having complaints about the Z10's battery life? BlackBerry can't do anything about it
0. phoneArena 07 Feb 2013, 06:53 posted on
It appears that we haven't been the only ones to find the BlackBerry Z10 lacking as far as battery life goes. Other users have also complained of poor battery life, but unfortunately, it seems that there's nothing that can be done about this...

19. boosook (Posts: 1436; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
they could do like others do (Nokia for example...): promise better battery life in the next update and then release an update that changes nothing...
33. muhsen (Posts: 281; Member since: 07 Jun 2012)
excuse me, i do have a lumia 920 and the pr1.1 update did improve its battery performance.i didn't have lumia 800 but many reports that indeed its first update improved its battery performance.and all nokias i had can manage a day with a single charge(although its not the best but its average so its sufficiently good) .all u want is obviously some trolling and fanboy wars.what brought nokia to the subject in the first place??!
btw lumia 920(as an example for a nokia) has a good to average battery life even b4 pr1.1, just check its gsmarena battery test(which was b4 pr1.1, ) and u will know what i mean.
if u don't know about something ,don't comment about it

my lumia 920 before portico had good battery life, after portico still good life. i can go a whole day of using it at work and get through the day without charging it. my galaxy s3 on the other hand doing the same thing needs to be charged one time during the day. not to 100% but it does need some kind of charge to make it to the night.

Oh dear, that is the last thing BB need, with phones like iPhone5, Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note2, Motorola RAZR MAXX etc... Managing impressive battery life with their large batteries and excellent power management, this is one area BB cannot afford to screw up. I hope it's not a widespread issue.
21. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
Oh please S3 and IPHONE 5 does not have excelllent battery life! My friends keeps telling me how his S3 dies in the middle of the day and he has to charge it 2 times a day
26. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
Battery life on the Galaxy S3 is very good that's for sure. Your friend has something else wrong with his devices that's application related or network related.

I can just barely squeeze through a day on my Galaxy S3, but then again I am a fairly heavy user. My sister has the same one, and only charges hers about every 3 days because she barely uses it.

48. Luuthian (Posts: 246; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
The iPhone 5 has some of the most impressive battery life around when it's screen is on, and It can surf the web a hell of a lot longer than any AMOLED device can. Many sites have backed that up with evidence. The S3 is also one of the best Android handsets out there for battery life.
One friend who has a problem he knows nothing about does not constittute proof. Maybe you should send him over ot the XDA forums to ask about improving his battery life.

5. scriptwriter (Posts: 396; Member since: 13 Nov 2012)
i see nobody has mentioned the idea of buying a second battery? they cant cost that much. Z10 owners should feel privaliged that they can acturlly remove and replace their battery. Many other high end smart phones dont have this option
6. darkskoliro (Posts: 1076; Member since: 07 May 2012)
Agreed. And third party batteries will come soon with large capacities.
20. Mittal (Posts: 493; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
Add that cost to the device's cost and it will stop making sense
They should have given a decent battery by default that would last a full day with good 3G use. Above that if someone wants they can buy another battery
29. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
some how i dont think it would be a problem if the iphones battery "wasnt enough" and apple forced them to buy another one........even though the iphone is sky high in price from the start, some how i dont think apple fans would mind buyin another
49. Mittal (Posts: 493; Member since: 14 Dec 2011)
totally agree
few ppl will fret over additional costs that may have been associated with the iPhone
30. scriptwriter (Posts: 396; Member since: 13 Nov 2012)
my Gnex barely lasts a day on 3G. hence why i have brought a battery with double capacity. there probaly isnt a double capacity battery for the Z10 yet but give a few months and there should be. Youve just gotta be patient

not possible without increasing the price a lot. while new battery technology IS on the horizon, its not cost effective for mass market
11. MC1123 (Posts: 1255; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
actually it's only suck if it's on LTE but on 3G I think it's ok.. since it promises 10hrs of battery life
12. khmer (Posts: 95; Member since: 21 Jun 2012)
Poor battery designed and low capacity, anyway overall quality for BB10 phone is very poor customers satisfaction even though I never touch it but I can tell. Only crazy people will buy BB10. BB10 is falling off the RIM.
25. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
I can say the same for S3
13. bragzter (Posts: 52; Member since: 21 Feb 2012)
They should have stuck a larger capacity battery in there in the first place. But like was mentioned in a previous post, users can just buy a larger one when they become available.

genuine battery charger bundle for 55$ on e-bay, still no third party.

I'm sure soon there will be plenty of those on offer
16. jroc74 (Posts: 6004; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Just saw the battery size. They shoulda just stuck a bigger battery in the phone....
Its funny tho cuz QNX is supposed to be so effecient. Seems for most modern OS's....it might need a bigger battery.
If it has a removable battery.....it can be fixed.

"In short, if you're unsatisfied by the battery of the BB Z10, you'll either have to put up with it, or try to get rid of it and buy another device."
Come on ray if It was my first time on phone arena i would put your article writing skills in question...............Isnt that why the battery is REMOVABLE??
If the battery isnt good enough im pretty sure one could go on ebay and find A BIGGER ONE......with more capacity........I highly doubt they would have to get rid of the device because of this minor reason

Bottom line folks we welcome Blackberry into the BIG BOYS CLUB. This has been a MAJOR PROBLEM for android since 2009/2010 nothing new at all. Matter of fact battery life hasn't started getting better till the beginning of 2012 as far as some android devices. When I purchased my Htc Evo 4g in June 2010 i just purchased a second battery and carried it every day along with my charger. The Htc Evo 4g was the Grandaddy of all 4g/Lte devices the device that started it all fast forward to today. If it has to be then it has to be carry another battery.
34. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
or maybe Heins was a bit caught in the moment of this fast paced game and wasnt able to properly "analyze" the battery situation.......Hence the reason why they made it REMOVABLE?
35. dragonscourgex (Posts: 307; Member since: 16 Jan 2012)
I had high hopes for BB to survive with BB10. But if this is how they are going support their devices....I don't know if I should hold onto that hope.

39. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
Look at it this way. The Z10's screen is 18% larger than the iphone 5. It's battery has 26% more mAh. So if the iphone 5 lasts you either all day or almost all day, the Z10 should be just fine, assuming same usage, or even provide increasing returns due to the efficient coding.
41. Xtasy (Posts: 284; Member since: 13 Jan 2013)
Don't forget the z10 runs applications live in the background. The iphone does not to save battery life.

I won't say that Blackberry can't survive despite this issue, especially if people can still get their phones through a day. Remember how awful LTE phones were at first?
However, it is ironic because earlier Blackberries usually kicked the crap out of iPhones and Android models in battery life. Now we have a complete reversal.

Expected a "Kiss Ass" Phone from BlackBerry. Sadly, BlackBerry kicked our Ass !

No issues fix it in BB Z10S by providing a larger battery ... :D

Id say given that unlike Iphone or Android, the OS offers true multitasking capabilities, I'd say the battery life is actually not bad. Its at least comparable to some android flagships.

Welcome to the world of better hardware. Poor battery life is common in all smart phones. I know people with iPhone 5, GS 3 and GN2 will claim 1-2 battery life. However they so not use the phone very much. My Note one was 6 hours tops with LTE doing emails and calls. Y iPhone 5 is 7-8 hours. BB owners best not expect the days of Curve battery life.

The ignorance and stupidity of this place never ceases to amaze me.
Clearly Ray S has a major hate on for anything BB, perhaps his sponsor has been giving him the CBS "Dish" treatment.
Of course he could have also suggested the alternative of peeling off the back cover and SWAPPING OUT THE BATTERY FOR A SPARE. Try doing that on the majority of high end smartphones these days, especially the highly coveted iphone 5

This is the second in a three part look at how market size affects the competitive balance of the NFL and Major League Baseball. Here is a link to part one.
Previously, we worked to obtain a decent working list of what constitutes divisions between the 'large market' and 'small market' teams. The list we settled on (read the comments section of the article) was this:
Large Markets (more than 6 million people):
New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Baltimore/DC, Boston, Oakland/San Francisco, Dallas, Philadelphia, Houston
Mid-Markets (more than 3 million people):
Atlanta, Detroit, Miami, Toronto (MLB), Seattle, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Montreal (ex-MLB), San Diego, and Denver
Cleveland, Saint Louis, Tampa, Pittsburgh, Charlotte (NFL), Cincinnati, Kansas City, Indianapolis (NFL), Milwaukee/Green Bay, Nashville (NFL), Jacksonville (NFL), Buffalo (NFL), New Orleans (NFL)
The result is that baseball is skewed to be a 'big city' sport, while the NFL is geared more toward smaller cities. Baseball has 47% of its teams in large markets, 30% in medium markets, and just 23% in small markets.
The NFL, on the other hand, has just 34% of its teams in large markets, 25% in medium markets and a whopping 40% of its teams in small markets.
With careful consideration, it makes sense. Baseball requires large population centers to sustain a 162 game season. Football requires one day a week, and lends itself more readily to long, weekend road trips. Football can survive in markets that are challenging for baseball.
Football has two other market controls that are favorable to small markets. The first is revenue sharing. Going back decades, the NFL has operated under the concept of 'league-think'. All television money is pooled and divided equally among the teams. Except for pre-season games, there are no local TV contracts to create revenue disparities in football. The second market control is the salary cap. Part 3 of this series will examine which of these two tools is actually more responsible to creating parity.
Baseball and Market Size
On the surface, baseball has clearly developed a market size based system. The following chart shows per-team numbers from 1995-2010. The percentages are the likelihood that any given team in a size class will make the playoffs or win the World Series in any given year.
|Win %
|% to make playoffs
|% to win WS
On the surface, you can see that large market teams win more frequently during the regular season, make the playoffs more often, and are twice as likely to win the World Series than medium market teams and five times more likely to do so than small market teams.
So does that mean that small market teams can't compete under baseball system?
No. Baseball has a very small number of small market teams, and among those are Pittsburgh and Kansas City. Though by not the smallest markets in MLB (that honor probably goes to Milwaukee), they have by far the worst records over the past 16 years. The reason is that they have horrible management structures. The teams are profitable, but until recently have made no effort to compete. Essentially, the small market numbers in baseball are plagued by two outliers. Two small market franchises, Cleveland and Saint Louis, have actually been outstanding.
During the time frame studied, Saint Louis ranks 4th in winning percentage and playoff percentage among MLB cities. Cleveland ranks fifth in both categories. Despite a shortage of small market teams, two of baseball's top 5 franchises over the past 16 years are small markets. The other cities are New York (specifically the Yankees), Boston, and Atlanta (a high mid-market team). In all, baseball produced 10 different champions in the 16 years.
Baseball faces a balance problem not created as much by a lack of a salary cap as much as by the fact that franchises can make a profit without trying to win games. This is a problem that even effects teams in high mid-markets like Miami. The Marlins learned that they could make more money by not trying to win and operating with the smallest payroll in baseball. This decision has nothing to do with the size of their market, but rather a cynical attempt to profit at the expense of winning.
Ultimately, baseball generates in-season parity by having so many large market teams. When nearly half the league qualifies as large market, it's not nearly so big a problem to have a large market dominated league. Half the teams are in it from the start, and the best run small market teams also compete at the highest level.
Football and Market Size
The NFL starts with all teams on a much more level playing field due to shared television revenue. The results show up clearly in the following chart:
|Win %
|% to make playoffs
|% to win Super Bowl
|Large Markets
|Medium Markets
|Small Markets
As you can see, small and large markets win at the same rate in the NFL over the past 16 years. Medium markets have had their numbers drastically reduced by the presence of the Detroit Lions. The large markets were similarly hurt by the expansion Houston Texans. Those outliers aside, the small market teams in the NFL boast some of the winningest franchises in football over the same stretch. Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, and Green Bay all rank among the most successful cities in the league.
The top five NFL cities over this stretch clearly are: Boston (large), Indianapolis (small), Green Bay (small), Pittsburgh (small), and Denver (medium). In all, the NFL produced 11 different champions in 16 years. It is important to note here that the NFL includes a much higher percentage of teams in the playoffs than baseball does.
However, the question has to be raised as to whether the NFL has done itself a disservice by having so many small market teams. Consider the Chicago/Los Angeles question. Baseball has four teams in the second and third biggest markets in the United States. The NFL has just one. Instead, the NFL has teams in Jacksonville, Buffalo, and New Orleans. The NFL is currently in a lockout caused in part by owners worried about flattening revenue streams. Perhaps by ignoring the second biggest market in the US in favor of small, struggling cities the NFL has helped to cause its own shortfall.
The big question is whether the NFL's balance is created by revenue sharing or a salary cap. Part 3 will examine that question by comparing these same numbers from before the salary cap era (pre-1993) and after.
It's difficult to compare the NFL with Major League Baseball because they types of markets they occupy are dissimilar. By sheer numbers, the NFL is a small city league and MLB is a big city league. While it is not true that the NFL has 'more parity' than baseball, it is true that the NFL's parity is more randomly distributed by market size. Baseball has similar rates of teams making the playoffs and winning championships, but those teams are more intensely concentrated at the top of the population scale, simply because there are more of those teams in baseball to begin with.

Reflections on Loving and Losing a Canine Companion
Edited by Laurel E. Hunt
Several years ago, Laurel Hunt's two dogs died within months of each other. Despite sympathetic support from friends, Hunt still missed her pets. She found solace in a poem called "The Rainbow Bridge," then decided that a book of writings about the death of animals might console other grieving dog owners.
While a fair number of the included poems, essays and illustrations are mawkish, others comfort, enlighten and even amuse. Many were written around the turn of the 20th century, but later contributors include playwright Eugene O'Neill and Ruth Pollack Coughlin, who wrote of her agonizing decision to euthanatize her dog Lucy in 1991: "I thanked her for being such a great pal. I kissed her repeatedly on every part of the small body I had kissed at least a million times during the past 13 years." Then Coughlin kisses Lucy's failing heart, "a heart that had beat so well, so true, a heart that could have, in a split second, taught a legion of therapists what unconditional love is really all about." (Hyperion, $17)
Bottom Line: Puppy love, 4ever

BlackBerry returns only to find itself in the friendzone?
0. phoneArena 01 Feb 2013, 08:20 posted on
BlackBerry is back. Kind of. The company has unveiled two new devices - the all-touch BlackBerry Z10 and the full QWERTY Q10…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. wendygarett (unregistered)
True story, everyone keep sayin "good luck blackberry" and yet they won't buy it...
I wish you luck as well bb, but I won't buy your product :)
3. slaggyb (Posts: 214; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
Let Apple continue taking your money..
6. wendygarett (unregistered)
Aww come on!!!

friendzoner... haha...
41. Caralho (Posts: 119; Member since: 18 Jun 2012)
That was funny!!!
17. nicholassss (Posts: 368; Member since: 10 May 2012)
I would consider the Z10 as a second device for work or something but for now I'm going to stay team android.
An ubuntu phone device will probably be the first thing to really pull me away from android, if it turns out as good as it looks.
5. cezarepc (Posts: 714; Member since: 23 Nov 2012)
I won't mind getting one as a secondary phone as long as the price isn't too damn high.
12. hepresearch (unregistered)
These may end up being the most expensive mobiles I've ever seen since the Nokia E90, maybe even worse... maybe the most expensive ever! I'm seeing eBay-er's listings going through the $1,000-roof and onward to $1,500, and up, and up...
19. Crossblade (Posts: 210; Member since: 21 Apr 2005)
If its price is better than that of a Nexus 4 unlocked more people will consider it..
24. hepresearch (unregistered)
Agreed. I think you are right, and that they would have to sell in that pricepoint range in order to win back the kind of market share they need to become popular again... the only problem is that they will not likely be selling even the refurbished units for that cheap for another year yet.
28. pookiewood (Posts: 631; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
I also say Good Luck BB but as a L920 owner I refuse to leave. I love the WP platform. I also own a BB Playbook so I am genuinely excited about BB. As for Phones I'm locked into a 2 year with old AT&T on my L920 and couldn't be happier. If WP ever goes down though I refuse to go Android or iPhone. If BB is still around I'd happily go there unless Conical is still around. ;)
2. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Forever alone?
18. hepresearch (unregistered)
It is laughable. BlackBerry 10 is like the uber-nerdy kid who went away to college, built and sold a Fortune-500 internet company in a matter of months, and then came back to his home town, stinking-rich and enjoying early-retirement, to try to woo his old high school flame, but she's already seeing the preppy-jock from the well-to-do family next door (iOS 6.1), and when he's away, working at his dream job in the local DA's office staff, she's actually having a fling with her long-time super-tough-guy bad-boy dream-dude who was recently released from county prison (Android 4.2), and who still steals car-radios during the night. She already has everything she could need or want, and the habit of still wearing the ol' pocket-protector doesn't help him out any, either. Either way... friendzonage fail!
20. nicholassss (Posts: 368; Member since: 10 May 2012)
+1 for imagination.
25. smdeezy (Posts: 66; Member since: 17 Jun 2011)
Wow. Sounds like a movie.
27. hepresearch (unregistered)
Haha... yeah, but with a less-satisfying ending.
I don't think the Zuckerburg has trouble finding lady friends these days... I don't think the Beiber has too much trouble, either... errr... well, maybe the Beibs has to fight the cougars off with a large baseball bat...
26. hepresearch (unregistered)
Ha... and I almost forgot! Once every year or two, Justin Beiber (Windows Phone 8) comes to town to take the stage at the local public auditorium, and croons to all of the teeny-boppers...
The friendzonage just got a smidge deeper...
"Oh, no you din't!"
Oh, yes... I just did... LOL!
4. Armor (Posts: 52; Member since: 06 Dec 2011)
Blackberry all the way. Blackberry jumps ahead of the game with the z10. Coming soon is being able to communicate with your car, ect. QNX is a very powerful os's. Why do you think they use it in hospitals, space shuttle, and many others. It is rock solid and dependable. GO BLACKBERRY !!!!!!
8. cezarepc (Posts: 714; Member since: 23 Nov 2012)
QNX is indeed powerful and dependable, an article here from PA even discussed that. But the problem is do people care?
14. hepresearch (unregistered)
I see what people are buying these days, and I have to ask myself the same question...
9. Jonathan41 (Posts: 532; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)
I would say Blackberry more so rejoins the game with the Z10. It's a very solid entry I wouldn't say there is a real "wow factor" aside from it being a Blackberry.
7. Jonathan41 (Posts: 532; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)
I predict that Blackberry will do okay for the most part. Their new device lineup is creating some good buzz. I think sales will probably be average possibly slightly leaning toward the high side. This first iteration should at least get them back in the game. What really matters is how much momentum they gain in the next year or two if they expect to grow to their original luster.
10. davecann2 (Posts: 460; Member since: 15 Mar 2011)
I think all the buzz for the new BB is over... Product reviewers are mostly reporting positive feedback but have all said the same thing... Nothing really different then any other competing product.
I just don't see any reason the mass will replace their iPhones and Androids with a BB.
16. tashreef (Posts: 476; Member since: 24 Nov 2012)
Always competitive price tags makes difference......
BB has good build quality then most of the droid makers and hardware side almost every thing a stable Smartphone should have ... Now the price tag will decide the future......
Good luck...
13. andylancheros1 (Posts: 11; Member since: 24 Dec 2012)
Well as a matter of fact, as a business phone the BB Q10 with its QWERTY keyboard and high specs non Android non iphone! I mean for work QWERTY is really important to email and to text really fast and this phone will have it all! I agree most people is not going to change it right away however they will keep it as an option when upgrading! youll see BB is back! and is getting that 3rd place in the smartphone industry! Cheers
21. androiddownsouth (Posts: 598; Member since: 02 May 2012)
I bet I can text and email on a virtual keyboard just as fast as anyone on a physical qwerty keyboard can. I also bet most other people have made that transition as well, based on what I see at work on a daily basis. We sell maybe 2 to 4 physical keyboard phones in a full month.
45. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
you're wrong. Touch screen does not outdo tactile feedback. Why do you think game consoles like the 3DS still sell if touchscreen was all the rage and just as good?
23. Nikolas.Oliver (banned) (Posts: 1574; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
Bb generates lots of buzz. Having said that. People won't still buy it because the price is too damn high. $600 ? I'd rather take the nexus 4
31. CorianU (Posts: 27; Member since: 22 Jan 2013)
That's great! lol
32. mclifford81 (Posts: 74; Member since: 26 Jan 2010)
The unfortunate thing for Rim/Blackberry is that it's playing a game of too little too late in the minds of consumers. I am not saying that is the actual case but as far as the consumer market goes it appears that faith has been lost in Rim/Blackberry as a whole. If you go back to 2009 you can see another company that went through similar trials and did a complete overhaul of the Os called Web Os. Palm announced at CES in January 2009 their new hero device along with their savior operating system. It was reviewed rather well and took home awards that year. Things were looking great for a while with the exclusivity they had with Sprint and the innovation behind the Os, until things went south of course. Sprint also had another big announcement months later with the HTC Evo and that was just the beginning of the downfall for Palm. Os issues with update after update, outdated hardware with the release of newer better devices around every corner and of course the eventual sell out to a company that made an impossible promise, Hp. Rim in many ways appears to be going in the same direction here and it's been said that other companies have been looking at an eventual buyout.
35. xtremesv (Posts: 297; Member since: 21 Oct 2011)
Palm had a good OS behind bad hardware (Palm Pre aka the iphone killer). The situation is different this time for BB, the phones have received good reviews as the OS itself. Certainly BB devices do not have killer specs but for most consumers they may suffice.
33. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
in the world dominated by half baked andro os there is no place for something new...in theory. I hope Blackberry will return and grab some piece of this smartphone pie.
36. mikeguy1981 (Posts: 88; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
I will never own one but my wife used to only use blackberry. I remember her saying along time ago, i'll never get a phone besides a blackberry. But now years later she said she would never own a blackberry again. She put it this way; its kinda like soda, once you get a taste of drinking regular sugar soda why would you go back to diet. Even if the new diet soda has new improved flavor called BB10 its still a diet soda.
39. iGREGG (Posts: 66; Member since: 18 Sep 2012)
40. gchild78 (Posts: 1; Member since: 01 Feb 2013)
I'm currently using an adroid device and was a loyal BB user. I will be switching back as soon as this phone becomes available and I have also talked to a lot of other friends who are making the switch back to BB. To each is own but I firmly believe many BB users who left always had in mind coming back if BB got its act together.
42. hepresearch (unregistered)
That would be interesting to see. I know that when Nokia left Symbian and MeeGo for Windows Phone, that same sentiment was not strong at all, and Nokia lost a lot of loyal customers. BlackBerry, on the other hand, is not making such an extreme transition, and the fact that they are keeping the BlackBerry name and a lot of the standard BlackBerry functionality, just packaged in a newer and very compelling interface, may well make things a LOT better for them. There are some things in the new BlackBerry 10 that will appeal to Nokia's Symbian^3 and MeeGo customer-outcasts, and hopefully there will also be enough of the familiar BlackBerry left in it to hang onto die-hard BlackBerry fans, and also invite home many departed BlackBerry customers. At first impression, I do think this has more potential to do good for RIM-BlackBerry than Windows Phone ever did for Nokia.
43. joey18 (Posts: 589; Member since: 20 Jul 2010)
the UI is nice they need to start w 4.7 not 4.2 and alot bazel blackberry wans to success they have to start saling the 449 dollars just like nokia did they coming alot new smartphones like iphone 5s or iphone math and gs4 the sony z if they ask me to choose one i choose sony z
46. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
the bezel is because, like the playbook, the bezel is used for various features. Consider it to be a "home button".
44. fredphoesh (Posts: 9; Member since: 25 Jun 2010)
EXCELLENT! Pretty much says it all...

Launched in 2009, Cabaret Club is one of the newest online casinos to hit the web. Although its reputation is less established than older online gambling websites, Cabaret Club has the upper hand on its competitors with newer and more innovative games and bonus structures.
Graphics and Games
Cabaret Club features a more modern and elegant design than most online casinos, possibly to attract a younger audience. The site's lobby has several animated graphics, but they hardly slow down the gameplay or loading times.
At Cabaret Club, there is a wide variety of games to play, from blackjack to video poker to roulette – but the casino's most impressive collection features online slots. There are over 120 different slots and pokies available here, including some of Microgaming's most popular titles like Thunderstruck. There are also 13 progressive online slots games, each of which has a reputation for paying out generous jackpots regularly.
Customer Service
Cabaret Club certainly knows how to treat its customers well, offering a wide array of banking solutions to suit just about anyone's wallet. Players can choose from credit cards, debit cards, prepaid vouchers and e-wallets to withdraw and deposit their money. Frequent players are also rewarded with loyalty points, further proving that this online casino definitely values its customers.
If players need to get in contact with customer support the Australian toll-free number is 1-800-769-359. Support can be obtained instantly through a phone call or the live chat option, but email presents an equally efficient service – although players may have to wait over an hour for a response.
There is a generous $150 welcome bonus available to all new players who sign up at Cabaret Club. All they need to do is sign up for a real money account and make their first deposit. The casino will then match whatever the player spends by 100%, up to $150.
There are also great newsletter promotions that alternative on a month-to-month basis, in order to keep things interesting for players. Each month, the casino offers players unique bonuses, contests and tournaments through their newsletter service!
Although Cabaret Club is a new player in the online casino market, its relationship with Microgaming gives it an advantage over some of the most established online gambling brands. This online casino offers players a unique and modern gaming experience that they are not likely to find anywhere else on the internet.

Fishtown resident Conrad Benner has been dying to try a hot new bar in South Philadelphia called Garage, but there was always the same problem. Carless and bike-averse, Benner travels only by SEPTA, and SEPTA's subway service stops just after midnight.
All that changed this weekend, when, for the first time in 23 years, Philadelphia's transit agency began running middle-of-the-night trains on the Broad Street and Market-Frankford lines on Saturdays and Sundays.
To celebrate the return of weekend service, Benner, 29, and two friends didn't merely make the trip across town to Garage on Saturday night - they intentionally nursed their beers until closing at 2 a.m. Sunday.
