HTC M8 (One 2) Mini specs leaked: 4.5-inch 720p screen, Android KitKat, Snapdragon 400 CPU
0. phoneArena 08 Feb 2014, 18:02 posted on
It appears that the small variant of HTC's M8 / One 2 will be a bit larger than last year's HTC One Mini. The handset should have on-screen keys, the latest version of Android, and MicroSD card slot...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Oh yeah, from this we can assume that the M8 will come with Micro-SD expansion and higher megapixel count cameras. Sweet!!

Moto G anyone?
14. Martin_Cooper (Posts: 1423; Member since: 30 Jul 2013)
Moto G specs with double the price. Beside the better camera.
15. Doakie (Posts: 2007; Member since: 06 May 2009)
Wow. The only other change I see is the addition of a Micro SD Card slot.... I'll stick with the Moto G, without the Sense skin on top this Moto G flies.
16. hurrycanger (Posts: 1563; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
slightly better cpu, too. It also gets microSD card support, which is great.
But well, if it's really double the price of the Moto G, it won't be worth it anyway.

Wish they did like Sony Z1Compact

yea, Moto G specs, except for a better front and rear camera, better speakers, better cpu, aluminum body, higher internal capacity, micro SD slot, etc...! so yea almost the same spec but higher price
41. shuaibhere (Posts: 1986; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
Better cpu???no worries moto G is already running fine and handles most of Hd games out there...
Aluminium body...no thanks...Plastic is more durable ,also not prone to scratches, and doesn't interfere with radio signals.....
High internal memory??? Moto G too has 16GB model...
Micro SD...i accept with you in this...SD card is one of the important features...
Better speakers...Ofcourse....but i don't care about it...cuz who listen music without HS...
And don't miss the better radio signals in moto devices...
and for half the price...moto G is the winner...
37. Eclectech (Posts: 218; Member since: 01 May 2013)
The Moto G doesn't have LTE bands so that's a nonstarter for me and many others.
18. TechCrazyedBoy (Posts: 129; Member since: 12 Nov 2013)
go for the Sony Xperia SP...
almost the same specs,just 4.4 update otw..
19. __0__ (banned) (Posts: 242; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
Go for this year's one , only slightly bigger but way better specs
25. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
I think Xperia ZR or ZL is a much better
alternative, because i'm pretty sure that One 2 mini will be in the same price range with ZR and ZL.
27. apple4never (Posts: 1064; Member since: 08 May 2013)
the Sp is faster then both and much much cheaper, with the badass lights at the bottom to boot
31. amro99 (Posts: 105; Member since: 29 Nov 2012)
i dont know if you have ever had a sony smartphone or not. my sister has a SP (which is a 2013 model), the camera is from 2008 i guess (though 8MPX)! the wifi sgnal is too weak, and the phone is way slower than its first day, although less than 15 apps have been installed since then, and the screen quality, though HD, is cr@p
43. apple4never (Posts: 1064; Member since: 08 May 2013)
you got a defect bro, i have crappy wifi at my house and its always connected, camera is great for a midranger and the screen is fine just the angles are bad
26. apple4never (Posts: 1064; Member since: 08 May 2013)
Yeah Xperia sp for the win!! its awesome
2. mr.techdude (Posts: 569; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
Why haven't they put higher specs so that consumers who are spec savvy but don't want big screens, this would have been a good choice but,.....,
6. bucky (Posts: 2574; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
See, that's exactly what I was thinking too. I would like to see a manufacturer keep the same specs in the mini version-they can even keep the same price. That's a proper way to satisfy different users.
20. Ant34 (Posts: 193; Member since: 10 Aug 2013)
It's probably targeted to an audience who can't afford a phone with high end specs.
23. yudi.nemesis (Posts: 1127; Member since: 14 Mar 2013)
but the problem is the price of htc mini phones are in the same price range with other phones that usually has better specs.
10. datphoneguy (Posts: 154; Member since: 15 Sep 2013)
Agreed. HTC could have pulled a Xperia Z1 Compact with the mini....that would have been amazing.
3. Insignificant (Posts: 192; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
It really looks like the Z1 compact can be a hit. No competition from HTC (not even surprised) means it's Samsung and LG left. And both have horrendous designs and build quality - that's not going to appeal to iStupidfans.
4. newbey123 (Posts: 575; Member since: 19 Mar 2012)
Sounds like a winner! Though I will go for the regular M8 or the Max version
5. Ayron (Posts: 4; Member since: 01 Jan 2014)
13MP rear and 5MP front facing camera?!?! HTC is finally stepping it up
11. datphoneguy (Posts: 154; Member since: 15 Sep 2013)
Looks like HTC may have ditched the whole ultrapixel idea which is GREAT news
7. Gregor (Posts: 34; Member since: 26 Nov 2013)
Good job HTC! But the SoC could have been Snapdragon 600.
8. outlawog (Posts: 47; Member since: 27 Nov 2013)
HTC are finally listening to the their customers, quick with the updates, and now they've hopefully sorted out that ultra pixel gimmick, or atleast improved it. I can only imagine that the One 2's camera will be better than the mini with perhaps a 8 MP Ultra pixel camera. However this wasnt the case with the two devices last year as they both sported the same camera. We can only hope that HTC executes this device nicely ;)
9. datphoneguy (Posts: 154; Member since: 15 Sep 2013)
Whoa...MicroSD for the mini?
Hope the same is true for the non-mini version as well!!
13. UglyFrank (Posts: 1655; Member since: 23 Jan 2014)
Even an S4 pro would've been better than that
17. pyradark (Posts: 857; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
Z1 compact still the best!! Beat that HTC
22. T.F.O.A (Posts: 36; Member since: 14 Dec 2013)
Nokia 3310 the best of the best of the... Yeah we already knew. lol
33. pyradark (Posts: 857; Member since: 10 Jun 2012)
Of course its untouchable.
I have one for over 10 years and still doesn't failed me!!!
21. Mube007 (Posts: 235; Member since: 24 Sep 2013)
Moto g is really a gud phone with dual sim slot
24. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
After the Z1 compact, HTC should have stepped up their game for this one. The Snap 600 & 2GB RAM should have been a minimum. Smh @ HTC once again.
28. Birds (Posts: 1157; Member since: 21 Nov 2011)
Considering the time frame, I seriously doubt HTC knew about the Z1 Compact. My biggest complaint about the M8 mini is the ram. For me, the amount of ram is what separates a mid-range device from a high end one. 2 gigs of ram could make this device scream even with a snapdragon 400. Like FRFR, if they are going to price it high, it should ship with 2 gigs of ram not 1. This device shouldn't be higher than 379$ simply for the low ram amount.
29. buccob (Posts: 2566; Member since: 19 Jun 2012)
Those companies get information about other companies really fast... you would be impressed by the spy-like work they do...
At the end of last year my uncle received at his Beach Inn, some tech guys from ZTE with a supposed prototype of the upcoming Galaxy S5 with 16MP camera that was being used for testing with the ZTE flagship...
I didn't believe him at first, being so early... but after hearing rumors of the upcoming S5 with 16MP camera... well there you go...
HTC probably knew quite a bit about Z1 Compact... but they are sticking to a slightly cheaper alternative... I think...
32. g2a5b0e (Posts: 3724; Member since: 08 Jun 2012)
I agree with buccob on this one. The exact specs for the Z1 Compact or Z1f as it was originally known, were leaked months ago. HTC had to have known about about it. They chose not to compete with it. It's a mistake that HTC can't afford to make. Samsung, on the other hand, their devices sell by the boatload anyway. If they choose to take this approach with the S5 mini (read: they probably will), it will still sell more than any other "mini" version. HTC is just quite simply & proverbially shooting themselves in the foot--the same thing they've been doing for many years now.
34. salaal (Posts: 109; Member since: 08 Dec 2013)
In my eyes the original one mini has better specs 1.4GHz dual core krait 300 should be way faster then 1.4GHz quad core cortex A7! The camera looks a lot better
My dream specs for this phone
Quad core 1.6GHz cortex A7/Dual core 1.7GHz S4 pro krait 300
Adreno 320/adreno 305@650
1.5GB ram
The camera should be bumped to 8UltraPixel or 13MP
3/5MP front camera
Dual LED flash
Micro SD
32GB internal storage
38. Eclectech (Posts: 218; Member since: 01 May 2013)
I'll reserve judgement to the official unveiling but the alleged camera specs look very promising. Looks like the pixel war is back on.
39. Epicness1o1 (Posts: 272; Member since: 30 May 2013)
Dont have money for the Htc One (2014) but i'm going to buy the mini instead
44. hurrycanger (Posts: 1563; Member since: 01 Dec 2013)
Why not just get the HTC One of 2013? By then it would be below $400 for a brand new unit. :D
40. sergiobr (Posts: 708; Member since: 25 Feb 2013)
13MP Ultrapixel would be ok !
42. Ankit24 (Posts: 2; Member since: 09 Feb 2014)
specs are good enough.
pleased to see no Ultra pixel cameras and availability of Card slot.
but i would have prefered Snapdragon 600 and 2GB ram (1.5 at least)
Hope to see...
full HD video support
Adreno 320 and 2100 mAh + battery.
n please please HTC price is wisely.

Rather than finding a TopComponent for each Node (as done yesterday), let's share a single TopComponent between multiple Nodes. The benefit is that, well, you'll only have one TopComponent to maintain. You'll simply assign a different ChildFactory to the TopComponent's ExplorerManager, i.e., on the fly, programmatically, as and when needed.
Above, the Node hierarchy in the Details view is built from a ChildFactory registered in the layer. Hence, when a module is added from the outside, it will not provide its own TopComponent. Instead, it will provide its own ChildFactory, registered as an attribute of a virtual file in the layer file. In other words, only the model needs to be provided (i.e., the Nodes), rather than the view, which is shared between all the models. Of course, if a module from the outside needs its own view, it can provide one in its own module, but then it will not be able to integrate with the "Open Window" menu item above. However, preferably, the module from the outside should simply bring its own Node hierarchy with it (via the ChildFactory registration), so that for a minimum amount of work the new Node can be integrated into the application.
How to do this? Well, first follow part 1 and part 2 of this series. Then follow the steps below.
- Delete the ".imrc" files in your module. We should probably have defined the "window" key as an attribute in the layer to begin with. Plus, we now won't need to find a TopComponent for each Node anymore. So also delete each TopComponent class that you had defined for your Nodes, i.e., the ones you created via the New Window Component wizard. Then create just one TopComponent, named "DetailsTopComponent". Implement ExplorerManager.Provider, initialize the ExplorerManager, add a BeanTreeView (or whatever explorer view you like), and (as always) associate the ActionMap and the ExplorerManager to the Lookup of the TopComponent.
- Now we'll add some attributes to the layer, for each of the two virtual files we registered there, and on top of which the Node hierarchy has been constructed: d
The most important attribute in the context of this blog entry is highlighted above. The "newvalue" attribute will cause a new instance of the registered "childFactory" class to be created. In other words, you now need to create two ChildFactory classes, one for each of your Nodes, as indicated by the "childFactoryClass" attribute above. For example: public class CruisesChildFactory extends ChildFactory{ @Override protected boolean createKeys(List list) { //Make a connection to the Cruises database, //i.e., Lookup.getDefault().lookup(DataServiceProvider.cla ss) //and then call "getData("cruises")" on the interface, //but let's add some dummy data for prototyping purposes: list.add("cruise A"); list.add("cruise B"); list.add("cruise C"); return true; } @Override protected Node createNodeForKey(String key) { Node node = new AbstractNode(Children.LEAF); node.setDisplayName(key); return node; } } public class LogbooksChildFactory extends ChildFactory { @Override protected boolean createKeys(List list) { //Make a connection to the Logbooks database, //i.e., Lookup.getDefault().lookup(DataServiceProvider.cla ss) //and then call "getData("logbooks")" on the interface, //but let's add some dummy data for prototyping purposes: list.add("logbook A"); list.add("logbook B"); list.add("logbook C"); return true; } @Override protected Node createNodeForKey(String key) { Node node = new AbstractNode(Children.LEAF); node.setDisplayName(key); return node; } }
As you can see from the above code, you would bring the data connection with you via the ChildFactory.
Now you need to use the various attributes in your own DataObject to use the registered ChildFactory in the construction of the shared TopComponent: public class IMRCategoryDataObject extends MultiDataObject { public IMRCategoryDataObject(final FileObject pf, MultiFileLoader loader) throws DataObjectExistsException, IOException { super(pf, loader); CookieSet cookies = getCookieSet(); cookies.add((Node.Cookie) DataEditorSupport.create(this, getPrimaryEntry(), cookies)); final String windowAttribute = (String) pf.getAttribute("window"); OpenCapability oc = new OpenCapability() { @Override public void open() { DetailsTopComponent tc = DetailsTopComponent.findInstance(); Children children = Children.create((ChildFactory) pf.getAttribute("childFactoryClass"), true); tc.getExplorerManager().setRootContext(new AbstractNode(children)); tc.getExplorerManager().getRootContext().setDispla yName((String) pf.getAttribute("displayName")); tc.open(); tc.requestActive(); } }; if (windowAttribute != null) { getCookieSet().assign(OpenCapability.class, oc); } } @Override protected Node createNodeDelegate() { final DataNode node = new DataNode(this, Children.LEAF, getLookup()); node.setDisplayName(node.getName()); return node; } @Override public Lookup getLookup() { return getCookieSet().getLookup(); } }
As a result of the above code, when you right-click a Node in the viewer TopComponent, if the "window" attribute is defined, the menu item is enabled. Then the registered ChildFactory is assigned to the root context of the ExplorerManager that is implemented in the shared TopComponent.

Good, but not good enough.
That seemed be the perception of defensive end Mario Williams in his first season after he signed a six-year, $100 million contract with the Buffalo Bills in March 2012.
Dealing with a wrist injury and off-the-field distractions, Williams finished with 10.5 sacks last season, impressive for most but not for a player considered to stand at the top of the NFL's heap of pass-rushers.
Then came training camp this past July, when Williams reported with a sore foot, leading to several missed practices and groans from some fans who felt like another disappointing season was on the horizon.
But then Williams got healthy, and in Week 2 he exploded for a 4.5-sack performance against Carolina. He's added 5.5 sacks in the five games since, including a game-changing strip-sack of Ryan Tannehill that led to a Bills victory over Miami on Sunday.
With 10 sacks on the season, Williams has the most of any player in Bills history through seven games, besting Bruce Smith's nine sacks in the first seven games in 1997. He's on pace for about 23 sacks this season, which would surpass Michael Strahan's NFL record of 22.5 sacks in 2001.
But the question still lingers: Are the Bills getting everything they expected out of Williams?
Much of that hinges on how a sack is valued. Some say it's a deceiving stat, sometimes the product of a player being in the right place at the right time or an offensive lineman blowing his assignment. Others argue that it's an effective measure of defensive pressure, a momentum-disrupting play that can instill fear in an opposing quarterback.
Whatever the case, Williams believes that a sack is more than just an individual accolade, explaining to reporters after the Bills' win Sunday that his sacks have been a full-team effort this season.
"Without the help of my teammates I couldn't have done it," Williams reiterated Wednesday. "We came out [and] played ball, played off one another and got after it."
Asked whether Williams' success on the stat sheet this season can be attributed to his own talent or the arrival of defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, Bills coach Doug Marrone joked that the answer would depend on whom you asked.
"I'm sure Mike would tell you it's scheme and Mario would tell you it's talent," he said.
In fact, Williams credited Pettine for the pressure the defense has generated, which is considerable: The Bills rank second in the NFL in disrupting opposing quarterbacks' dropbacks this season.
"Being able to go out there and just mix it up, we are moving around, having fun and getting after it to play off one another," Williams said. "It is definitely a great feeling for myself, I'm sure everybody else would say the same thing. It's just a great time."
Marrone noted that Pettine has shown a willingness to move Williams across the formation, which has kept offenses off guard.
"I think a little bit of us being able to have the ability to move him a little bit, that definitely helps. People have a plan, if you're just all the time you're that right defensive end to the quarterback's left, people can game-plan that. I think it's a little bit difficult when you have a player that moves around a little bit," he said. "He's an outstanding player, he really is. I think you could put him anywhere and he'll be productive."
All that withstanding, there have been times this season when Williams hasn't shown up. He notched just one tackle and a half-sack against the Cincinnati Bengals and was quiet Sunday before his two-sack explosion in the fourth quarter.
So are the Bills getting what they need out of Williams? Does he need to perform more consistently? Or has he put to rest the criticism that followed him throughout last season?

MP Soccer
Serie A, La Liga and also the Premiership all voice strong states be the best football league these days. However, which of those has got the most genuine claim. Very good to be the very best is definitely an recognition that dictates not only boasting privileges, but the capability to draw the best gamers and sponsorship contracts to secure the layer yet further. You will find numerous things to consider the gamers the football trials leagues have finally, the trophies won by their clubs, the standard of football performed and also the stature of the various sides.Going to see a game as opposed to seeing it on time is a game changer, the atmosphere at ricoh arena is immense. If your highly dedicated to your team and are travelling afar you may consider booking coventry accommodation that is near the ricoh arena.

Does that tactical catenaccio from the Italians over-shadow the physical pressure from the Premiership? Would the very best-heavy flair of los angeles Liga constantly overcome the effectiveness of an British midfield? How can the med cousins compare?In evaluating these various brands of 'the beautiful game' we should consider the numerous factors which make them great individually. A brief history, the present and also the future are crucial in contrasting these various brands of and finally building a solid idea of whether you do stand over the others players
The first and frequently probably the most preferred method of fans football trials in uk evaluating titles, that has the very best gamers? Natural assumption after this is the fact that The country contain the upper hands within this argument especially considering that both World (Ronaldinho) and European (Fabio Cannavaro) Gamers of the year play in La Liga. Also The country can boast a number of other great talents Madrid have van Nistelrooy, Raul, Robinho and Beckham, Barca can boast Ronaldinho, Deco, Messi, Eto'o and Zambrotta. Other clubs have similarly immense entertainers, David Rental property and Joaquin Sanchez at Valencia, Riquelme at Villarreal to title but a couple of.Italia can boast a likewise impressive listing of galacticos, however, possibly because of the greater pedestrian character of Serie A the gamers possess a inclination to become of the a little more advanced age. Internazionale (or Inter) boast probably the most impressive roster Crespo, Ibrahimovic, Veron, Stankovic, Figo and Samuel all ply there trade for that Nerazzurri. Their city rivals Milan in addition have a cornucopia of stars despite losing their talisman Andriy Shevchenko to Chelsea within the summer time, they've one world beater in Riccy Kaka'.
Also gamers as famous as Andrea Pirlo, Alessandro Nesta and Alberto Gilardino front a cast that consists of talent enough to challenge for just about any trophy. Also worth mentioning would be that the Milan rear-guard still consists of the legendary Paulo Maldini as captain. Using the shadow of Calciopoli hanging within the Italian top flight, what ought to be pointed out may be the exodus from Serie A that happened within the summer time saw a lot of their finest people leave the division.Zambrotta and Thuram left Juventus for Barcelona, likewise Fabio Cannavaro and Emerson became a member of their Bianconieri coach Fabio Capello in Madrid, and former Serie A favourites like Alessandro del Piero, Gigi Buffon, Pavel Nedved and David Trezeguet have made the decision to remain faithful to that old lady and ply their exchange Serie B for any season. As pointed out, Shevchenko also left the Rossoneri for Chelsea.Although talking about Chelsea we should clearly outline that they're the main player in European football today. The idea that presently is available in football is the fact that, if this involves the transfer market, the Premiership champions would be the team that others are required to follow. Because of the apparently limitless funds stumped up by their Russian oligarch owner, Roman Abramovich, Chelsea have accumulated a group of stars to complement every other club on the planet. With Terry and Lampard already present just before the Russian benefactor's input, gamers like Arjen Robben, Didier Drogba, Joe Cole and, as talked about, Shevchenko. The Premiership may also boast a few of the world's finest gamers in Thierry Henry and Cesc Fabregas at Toolbox Rooney, Rio and Ronaldo at Manchester U . s . and Liverpool's talismanic skipper Steven Gerrard.The key factor to stipulate when evaluating the unquestionably huge talents on show during these various leagues is the fact that although we're analyzing them in the outlook during now, the future is another vital factor. Once we talked about Serie A does often boast slightly older galacticos whereas the Premiership can reason that, in Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and Cesc Fabregas, they have several probably the most promising talent. The spanish language football may also reason that their spread is includes youth, with youngsters for example Sergio Aguero and Fernando 'el Nino' Torres at Atletico, Lionel Messi at Barca and something title to look at in Matias Fernandez, a Chilean playmaker because of join Villarreal in The month of january.

District to start classes later in '08
Sound off on the important issues at
JUNEAU - School will start 12 days later in 2008 than in 2007. The first day of school for first grade through 12th grade is set for Sept. 2. Preschool and kindergarten will start on Sept. 4. Accordingly, the last day of school will come on June 5.
New student registration begins Aug. 15.
The Juneau School District released the final calendar this week following a vote to accept the new schedule at the Dec. 18 School Board meeting.
Superintendent Peggy Cowan said there is a national trend to start school after Labor Day.
Students will have Veteran's Day, Martin Luther King Day and Presidents Day off, along with the usual Thanksgiving and winter break.
Spring break 2009 will come one week later than in 2008 and is set for March 23-27.
The fully detailed calendar will soon be available on the school district Web site.
The first round of parent- teacher conferences for middle and high school are set for Oct. 9-10 with elementary school conferences scheduled for Nov. 10-12.
During conferences high school students will attend half-day sessions, and middle school and elementary students have conference days off.
Driver accused of nipping vodka
PALMER - A 39-year-old Palmer woman is accused of drinking vodka from a water bottle while driving with two children in her vehicle.
Laura M. Phillips is charged with drunken driving and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. She was arrested Thursday night and is free on bail.
Alaska State Troopers say Phillips almost hit a Palmer police cruiser when troopers tried to pull her over.
Trooper spokeswoman Megan Peters says preliminary tests showed Phillips was nearly three times over the legal limit of alcohol to drive.
Phillips was pulled over by troopers on the Palmer-Wasilla Highway after the officers got a report of an erratic driver.
Borough studies recreation options
WASILLA - No private developer has appeared to cultivate recreation opportunities at Hatcher Pass so the Matanuska-Susitna Borough will try to jump-start a project.
The borough assembly has approved $50,000 to study recreation development options. Borough project manager Ron Swanson will lead the effort.
Borough officials hope that beginning preliminary planning work will help attract a developer, borough manager John Duffy said.
Winter opportunities at Hatcher Pass could include a day lodge, alpine ski area and Nordic trails, he said.
In addition to a development plan, the borough also has about $5 million to invest in the project, which could make it more attractive to potential developers, Duffy said. That money could be used to build cross-country ski trails and infrastructure such as paved or expanded parking lots.
"Personally, I like the idea of just developing a ski area," Assembly member Pete Houston said. "I wasn't really happy with the development of a residential and commercial area that was proposed in the past."
An alpine ski area could be anchored by a 12,000-square-foot day lodge, according to borough planning documents.
When it comes to downhill skiing and snowboarding, an alpine ski area could feature three lifts, providing access to a variety of terrain, according to planning documents.
Although the borough is investing time, money and staff to helping develop Hatcher Pass as a winter destination, it does not want to be in the business of running a ski area or other business, Duffy said.
Support for the Nordic portion of the project seems to be growing, Houston said.
"Everybody says that if we have nothing else, we need to have Nordic trails," he said.
Duffy said the borough's environmental and engineering studies for the entire project are expected to reach completion by next summer.
Juries convict three for sexual assault
ANCHORAGE - A jury convicted a man of sexual assault Friday, the third verdict in Anchorage in seven days on the charge.
After a two-day trial, jurors found Yosbany Moore, 24, guilty of nonpenetration sexual assault, attempted rape and misdemeanor assault, said Anchorage District Attorney Adrienne Bachman.
Trial prosecutor Brittany Dunlop told jurors Moore grabbed the woman and dragged her into an alley near her home. The woman resisted and screamed. A neighbor came to her aid and held Moore until police arrived.
Dunlop said Moore has a criminal record that includes felony drug convictions and could face more than 20 years in prison. Superior Court Judge Mike Wolverton set sentencing for April 18.
On Dec. 14, jurors convicted Mark Abrell of a March 2005 rape, Bachman said. Abrell had been convicted of multiple rape counts in a 1982 case.
In the current case, trial prosecutor Ben Hofmeister told jurors that Abrell, 49, raped a woman in a wooded area off Dimond Boulevard. A video surveillance camera recorded Abrell with the woman just before to the assault.
Superior Court Judge John Suddock set sentencing for March 21. Abrell is being held without bail.
On Dec. 13, another jury convicted Edrick Pointer of a June 20 rape, Bachman said.
Police said Pointer, 29, stole a vehicle, grabbed a convenience store employee and forced her into a bathroom, where he assaulted her. A police officer arrived in time to interrupt the attack. Superior Court Judge Phillip Volland set sentencing for March 27.

Todd Brunner waited 18 years, had a couple of shots at it early on, and then later, and just missed two years ago.
Now, as the game comes to his home state, Brunner finally is going to the Super Bowl.
"It's funny, I was telling my wife that I've always said if I get to a Super Bowl, it's going to be the one in New Jersey," said Brunner, a Lawrence native, Robbinsville resident and top area scout for the Seattle Seahawks.
It's been a long journey for the one-time Lawrence High and Lehigh University record-setting quarterback and younger brother of former Giants quarterback, Scott Brunner.
Todd Brunner began his scouting career with the Eagles in 1994, and watched the team get to the playoffs twice under Ray Rhodes in 1995 and 1996.
"I was there when we beat Detroit in that (58-37) wild-card game," Brunner said. "Then we lost to Dallas."
Brunner left the Eagles in 1999 to join the expansion Cleveland Browns before moving onto the San Francisco 49ers in 2002, the year they beat the Giants 39-38 in the come-from-behind, botched-snap game.
He stayed with the 49ers through the lean years and was there when they turned it around right up to their NFC Championship Game loss to the Giants in 2011.
"My contract was up after that game," Brunner said of the overtime loss to the Giants.
"Scott McCloughan, who was the GM when I was in San Francisco, was in Seattle and called me and asked if I was interested in working there. It was a good opportunity for me."
Brunner joined the Seahawks a year ago, and watched his old team the 49ers advance to last year's Super Bowl.
This year made up for it when Seattle not only made it to its second Super Bowl, but beat the rival 49ers in the NFC Championship Game to do so.
"Honestly, it felt pretty good," Brunner said of watching the Seahawks beat his old team to reach the Super Bowl. "That's what I wanted in the NFC Championship Game, us and the 49ers. Had the Eagles beaten the Saints, we would have to play (the 49ers) in the second round. Not that I was rooting against the Eagles, but I'm glad we met in the Championship Game. I thought all along we were the two best teams."
And he was part of both of them.
Brunner was instrumental in some of the better 49ers drafts that helped them obtain linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman, as well as offensive linemen Mike Iupati and Rutgers product Anthony Davis.
Now Brunner is with a Seahawks team that, under the direction of general manager John Schneider, puts a lot of emphasis on the draft.
After a week in Mobile, Ala., for the Senior Bowl, Brunner and the rest of the Seahawks' scouts will gather for their pre-draft meetings, but instead of flying out to the Northwest, Brunner simply will drive up the Turnpike.
"Everything is the same, except the meeting will be in New Jersey," Brunner said. "And it might be a little more fun."
Brunner is having a good time, and after all those years, he certainly deserves it.
"This is a great place to work," Brunner said of Seattle. "Everywhere I've been, my job has been the same, but the atmosphere in each building is different. This is a great atmosphere to work in, from John and (head coach) Pete Carroll, it is just a great atmosphere. You see how upbeat they are, and it just trickles down. It's really an enjoyable to place work. I can say it's fun to come to work every day."
Last year, Brunner's first with the Seahawks, wasn't bad.
The team made the playoffs and won a wild-card game over Washington before losing 30-28 at Atlanta in the second round. This year, well, it's been a lot better. And it can get really good by Sunday night.
"It feels great," Brunner said of his first Super Bowl. "I'm excited. This is why we do what we do."

Just speculating from the amount of information...
Assuming "./data" is a directory...
The version of tar that created the archive understood creating directory
entries in the archive.
The version of tar that restored the archive does not.
If you had files in ./data,, i.e. some of the filenames coming back had
pathnames of ./data/[filename], the directory itself would have been created
(if needed) as part of restoring the files, but with open permissions.
The ./data (directory node) entry in the tar archive is meant to restore
original ownership and permissions in this instance.
If this is the actual case, then you can simply ignore the error and go ahead
and set the desired ownership and permissions on the directory manually.
If ./data merely represented an empty directory, then simply create the
directory by hand with "mkdir /data".

Maureen Tarantino, a physical education and health teacher at Forrest Elementary School since 1999, will retire at the end of the school year.
Nancy Tuttle, an English teacher at Fair Lawn High School since 1997, will retire on Sept. 30.
"Through warm-hearted motivation encouraged many young students to widen their intellectual horizons and broaden their interest through participation in the study on the English language and literature," said the resolution.
"These extrememly talenterd staff members retiring comprise hundreds of years of service to Fair Lawn students," said Board President Michael Rosenberg. "This particular group combined with December's will surely be missed as many of them have given up to 35 years of service to the district and are beloved by the students and staff members alike."

Brodin Separates Fact From Fiction at Panel on Massachusetts Death Penalty
2013 news archive
Newton, MA—BC Law professor Mark Brodin spoke at a panel event on January 9 at the Social Law Library in Boston. The event, "The Death Penalty in Massachusetts: Past, Present and Future in Fact and Fiction" was sponsored by the The William P. Homans, Jr. Endowment of the Supreme Judicial Court Historical Society.
The program offered three perspectives on the death penalty in Massachusetts, animated by reminiscences of a beloved icon of the Massachusetts Bar, the late William P. Homans, Jr., whose ardent opposition to capital punishment was central to the Supreme Judicial Court's ultimate decision to bar it in the Commonwealth.
Brodin, author of William P. Homans Jr.: A Life in Court, discussed Bill Homans' successful decades-long campaign against the death penalty in the courts of the Commonwealth.
Other speakers included U.S. District Judge Michael A. Ponsor and ACLU of Massachusetts legislative counsel Ann K. Lambert. Judge Ponsor worked for Bill Homans for two years as a young lawyer, and his recently published debut novel, The Hanging Judge, anchors its plot on a fictional capital trial arising from a drive-by shooting in Holyoke and models the book's defense attorney on Bill Homans.
Lambert worked with Bill Homans in both the legislative and judicial arenas to oppose the death penalty.
The panel was followed by a reception, where Judge Ponsor and Professor Brodin signed copies of their books.

The following video is from Friday's Investor Beat, in which host Chris Hill, and Motley Fool analysts Ron Gross and Charly Travers, dissect the hardest-hitting investing stories of the day.
The U.S. Federal Government remains partly shut down, and the deadline over whether Congress will raise the debt ceiling, or let America default on its debt, is rapidly approaching. Yet, the markets seem to be shrugging this off. In today's lead story on Investor Beat, Ron and Charly discuss why there seems to be so much confidence that a deal will be struck in time, and whether or not this belief is misguided.
Also, this week saw an unsolicited buyout offer coming from Jos. A. Bank for Men's Wearhouse, which was rejected, but which still has MW shares up around 30% for the week. Ron and Charly discuss how this may pave the way for an acquisition eventually down the road, and more broadly, they look at how difficult of a business apparel retail can be, and whether more consolidations like this may be on the horizon.
And finally, the guys discuss why they'll be adding Facebook and Coach to their watchlists, as we move into this earnings season.
Investing in retail
The retail space is in the midst of the biggest paradigm shift since mail order took off at the turn of last century. Only those most forward-looking and capable companies will survive, and they'll handsomely reward those investors who understand the landscape.

'Tomb' boon for cabler
The combination of producer James Cameron and the subject of Christ's rediscovered burial site proved irresistible to a mass aud on Sunday night as the Discovery Channel drew 4.1 million viewers — its best number in 18 months — to "The Lost Tomb of Jesus."
Two-hour primetime spec ended up in a tie with TNT's primetime run of "The Bourne Supremacy" for No. 1 basic cable program Sunday among households.
Discovery also scored some of its best numbers ever with the special among adults 25-54 (its demo target), with 2.2 million, and 18-49, with 2.08 million.
"Lost Tomb" catapulted the web to a rare sixth place overall among ad-supported cable networks for the week ended Sunday and fourth place overall with 25-54 and 18-49 demos.
The big winner for the week was USA, which snared the four highest-rated individual programs: two separate hours of wrestling's "WWE Raw" on Feb. 26, each of which chalked up more than 6 million viewers; and the Friday-night season finales of "Monk" (5.7 million viewers) and "Psych" (4.48 million).
The History Channel got off to a solid start in its Barbarians Week of special programs with the two-hour premiere of "The Dark Ages" on Sunday. It racked up 2.3 million viewers, the network's best numbers for the year to date, including 1.1 million adults 25-54.
On the same night, E! delivered the second highest-rated series premiere in its 16-year history with the third-season kickoff of "The Girls Next Door," a reality series that follows the exploits of three of Hugh Hefner's blonde playmates. "Girls" averaged a 1.8 rating/5 share in adults 18-34 and 2.17 million viewers overall.
And on Monday, a 60-minute episode of the reality series "I Love New York" pulled in 4.1 million viewers. In adults 18-49 (1.8/4), it was the highest-rated original series episode on basic cable year to date, according to VH1. It also did a 2.6/7 in adults 18-34.

Significant severe weather could occur in the Great Lakes Monday into Tuesday. We will have to watch this possible severe weather outbreak closely. There are severe weather ingredients with this situation that could produce more damaging severe storms than a typical severe weather outbreak.
The top graphic shows the Storm Prediction Center's severe weather outlook for 8 a.m. Monday to 8 a.m. Tuesday. To me, the timing of severe weather in Michigan looks like Monday evening at the earliest, but more likely overnight Monday night and into Tuesday morning. The timing of severe weather coming in during the night could actually help Michigan have not quite as bad of severe weather as northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin will have during the day Monday.
Here is an always updated radar loop
At the time I'm writing this, there have been two tornadoes in Iowa, with some damage. The storms in Iowa now are expected to move across northern Illinois overnight tonight and Monday morning. This first complex of storms should weaken some in Michigan Monday morning, but still could have isolated severe weather. Then another complex of severe storms is expected to develop in eastern Iowa or northwestern Illinois Monday afternoon. That is the complex of storms that could move through Michigan Monday night. Northern Illinois could have widespread wind damage with these storms, and Michigan will have to watch for the same.
Why the chance of stronger severe weather?
I'd say this is definitely the strongest severe weather situation we have had so far this year. The reason is a combination of very warm, humid air and a strong jet stream overhead. The jet stream is basically the engine to severe weather. Winds aloft are expected to be around 110 MPH when the storms are rolling through Michigan. This strong jet stream helps thunderstorms produce high wind gusts. It's just an early estimate, but this type of set-up COULD produce 60 to 80 MPH wind gusts. There is also enough change in wind direction as you go higher in the atmosphere, called wind shear, to produce tornadoes.
Keep updated on MLive
So check in often on Monday and Monday night to see how the severe weather situation is evolving. If you are driving to northern Illinois or southern Wisconsin Monday, be prepared for some nasty storms during the day. It is those storms that could hit Michigan Monday night or Tuesday morning.
Watch for an update Monday morning.

all the fuss over global
warming and alternative energy, the continued loss
of biodiversity is being largely overlooked and forgotten.
And the trend may claim its highest profile victim to date in just a
couple decades, say conservation groups.For at least a
million years tigers have roamed the forests and jungles of Asia,
ruling the top of the food chain. But today Tigers are facing a
final bow from the world they once ruled as their habitats have been
destroyed and their numbers slashed by poaching. At
the start of the twentieth century there were an estimated 100,000
tigers, according to the World Wildlife Federation (WWF), an
environmental advocacy firm that studies the unique species.
Over the course of the last century those numbers shrank and several
subspecies -- the Bali, Javan, and Caspian Tigers -- went
extinct. The WWF has released a new
report estimating that there are now only 3,200 tigers left
in the wild in India, Southeast Asia, Russia, and China. They
estimate that within a generation tigers will become
extinct in the wild, if drastic action is not taken to conserve
them.Sybille Klenzendorf, director of the WWF-US species
conservation program comments, "There is a real threat of losing
this magnificent animal forever in our lifetime. This would be like
losing the stars in the sky. Three tiger subspecies have gone
extinct, and another, the South China tiger, has not been seen in the
wild in 25 years."World Bank, a multinational financial
institution that provides loans to developing countries, is
partnering with the WWF in a push to save the beasts. Keshav
S. Varma, program director of the World Bank's Global Tiger
Initiative comments, "Unless we really crack down on illegal
trade and poachers, tigers in the wild have very little chance. If
the tigers disappear, it is an indication of a comprehensive failure.
It's not just about tigers. If you save the tiger, you are going to
save other species. It provides an excellent indicator of commitment
to biodiversity. If they survive, it shows we are doing our job
right. If they disappear, it shows we are just talking."Despite
the fact that so few tigers remain, demand for their body parts is at
an all time high on the Asian black markets. Crawford Allan,
director of TRAFFIC-North America, which monitors the trade in
wildlife, comments, "The demand for bones and skin, meat, and
even claws and teeth ... is driving a major crime campaign to wipe
tigers out in the wild."Lixin Huang, president of the
American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine has teamed with the
WWF to try to fight Chinese natives from using tiger parts in their
traditional remedies. States Huang, "Traditional Chinese
medicine does not need tiger bones to save lives. What we are
dealing with is an old tradition, an old belief that tiger wine can
make their bones stronger. That is not medicine, that is from old
tradition."The WWF's ambitious goal is to try to get the
tiger population doubled to 6,400 tigers in the wild by 2022.
To do that, they say they will need $13M USD a year and cooperation
from the governments of Bangladesh, China, Europe, India, Indonesia,
Nepal, Russia, the United States, Vietnam, and the Greater Mekong
region, which stretches across Cambodia, China, Laos, Myanmar,
Thailand and Vietnam.

Dr. Goodman is a great doctor. I've never met a doctor that actually listens to you when your discussing your symptoms. Yes he was always ridiculously over booked but it was always worth the wait because he's that great of a doctor! I miss him not being at overlea. The doctor I have now I am NOT impressed with at all! I'd love to go back to Dr. Goodman!
Dr. Goodman took his time during the examination while appearing invested in what I had to say. The wait to get into the appointment was well worth it. I didn't feel rushed at all. I miss him not being at Overlea. He was the best!
Being seen 2-4 hours after my appointment time is too long. This doctor is constantly overbooked. He's nice but a 5 minute appointment is not enough time.
Excellent doctor. Takes time to listen to your symptoms and makes a careful decision as to your best course of treatment.
I loved that Dr. Goodman took time to get to know me during my first appointment with him. He seems genuine and caring. The office wait time was soooo long, that was my only concern. I recommend him highly!

Latinobarómetro Poll: Latin Americans, Despite Stereotype, Are Political ModeratesJanuary 10, 2007
Bush and Chávez Are Both Given Low Ratings
George Bush and Hugo Chávez have one thing in common, as far as the Latin American public is concerned. They are viewed equally negatively. Only Fidel Castro received lower marks among the ten leaders rated by the publics of 18 countries in the latest Latinobarómetro survey.
The portrait of Latin America that emerges from the poll is of a region whose citizens, overall, place themselves at the center of the political spectrum, despite the victory of leftist candidates in some recent presidential elections.
Latinobarómetro, based in Santiago, Chile, interviewed at least 1,000 people in each of the 18 countries polled (20,234 in all) between Oct. 3 and Nov. 5. It has conducted similar polls for the past decade, beginning with an eight-country poll in 1995.
Political Ideology
The findings about the regions ideological leanings indicate that public opinion tends toward the center, shunning either leftwing or rightwing positions.
Latinobarómetro Executive Director Marta Lagos said that such centrism had remained fairly constant in recent years, adding that generally Latin Americans identify the left with change and the right with the status quo.
Overall, the Latin American public identifies itself as politically moderate, very slightly to the right of center. Asked to situate their own beliefs on a scale where 0 is the most leftwing position and 10 the most rightwing, Latin American respondents on average give themselves a 5.4. A plurality of 44 percent overall identified with the center (4-6) range, while a third (32%) identified with the right (7-10) and a quarter (24%) with the left (0-3). (Those who offered no response or said dont know were excluded).
Central America is the region where the largest proportions of the population identify themselves as politically to the right. El Salvador has the highest percentage of respondents (50%) situating themselves on the right (from 7-10), though the average score there is a centrist 5.3. Next is the Dominican Republic, where 45 percent identify themselves as to the right (average score 7.1) followed by Honduras where 44 percent do so (average 6.2).
Despite the lefts recent electoral victories in many Latin American countries, it attracts far smaller percentages. The highest is in Uruguay where about a third of respondents (34%) identify with the left side of the spectrum (from 0 to 3) for an average score of 4.7. Next comes Nicaragua (32%, average score 5), Bolivia (29%, average 4.8) and Venezuela (28%, average 5.6).
But both Nicaraguawhich recently elected Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega presidentand Venezuelawhere President Hugo Chávez just won a second termhave higher proportions identifying with the right than the left. Forty-three percent of Nicaraguans identify themselves as right and 33 percent of Venezuelans do.
Lagos said the fact that most Venezuelans support Chávez, even though they tend to regard themselves as centrist, suggested that his popularity transcends ideological labels.
Venezuelans dont necessarily see Chávez as a leftist, they see him as someone who has brought change, she said, pointing out that the Venezuelan leader is especially popular among sectors of the population that had felt excluded by the traditional parties.
In Bolivia, President Evo Morales became the countrys first indigenous president last year and confirmed his radical credentials shortly after taking office by nationalizing the countrys natural gas fields. Nonetheless, Bolivians, on average, consider themselves centrist (average 4.8). Slightly less than a third (29%) identifies with the left and about a fifth (21%) identifies with the right.
Views of Leaders in the Hemisphere
Latinobarómetro asked respondents to rank nine Latin American heads of state and President Bush on a 0-10 negative to positive scale, with ratings from 0 to 3 considered negative and from 7 to 10 positive.
The survey found that moderate leaders in the hemisphere received the highest average ratings and the highest percentages of favorable scores. Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva was first with an average score of 5.8, the highest positive ratings37 percentand the lowest negatives16 percent (49% did not know or respond). Chilean president Michelle Bachelet is next with an average score of 5.5. Thirty-two percent rated her positively and only 18 percent negatively (64% did not respond).
Although both Lula and Bachelet lead leftist parties, they have eschewed the radical economic policies favored by Latin American socialists in the past. They have also been careful to cultivate cordial, if not close, relations with the U.S. government.
Cuban leader Fidel Castro not only gets the lowest average score (4.4) but also the highest percentage of negative ratings (41%). Less than a third (27%) rates him positively. Castro is the best known of the Latin American leaders rated, with only 21 percent saying they did not know or would not respond.
Peruvian president Alan García has the second most negative average rating at 4.5. Thirty-three percent, overall, view him negatively and 19 percent positively (64% do not respond). García was elected president of Peru in June for the second time. During his first term, from 1985 to 1990, Peru suffered through a severe economic crisis and rising political violence. García faced charges of corruption (later dropped) while living in exile in the 1990s.
Chávez and Bush tie for third from the bottom with average scores of 4.6. They also get the same percentage of positive ratings (39%) and are viewed negatively by 28 percent and 30 percent, respectively. Both Chávez and Bush are relatively well known with only 29 percent and 21 percent, respectively, not responding.
Bush is more popular in Central America than elsewhere, getting his highest percentage of positive responses in Panama (61%). Central America is enjoying closer economic relations with the United States following ratification of the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) in 2005. In addition, the region benefits from the remittances sent there from the large Central American immigrant community living in the United States.
The U.S. president is also relatively popular in Colombia (39%), whose conservative president, Álvaro Uribe, has received substantial economic and security assistance from Washington for counter narcotics operations.
The U.S. president is least popular in the southern cone, especially in Argentina where only 6 percent give him a positive score and his average rating is 1.9. Bush also receives few accolades in Venezuela (22% positive), Bolivia (22%) and Ecuador (24%), all of which have elected populist presidents who have publicly defied U.S. policies.
Chávez and Castro, not surprisingly, are most popular where Bush is least popular. The Venezuelan and Cuban leaders both get their highest scores in Venezuela (7.1 and 6.6, respectively) and their lowest in Costa Rica (3 and 2.4). Chávez also gets a 3 in Peru, where he was widely criticized for his comments on Peruvian politics during last years presidential campaign.
Latinobarómetros findings on the relative popularity of Chávez and Bush are confirmed by Gallup polls in Latin America. Gallup found similarly low levels of approval for the two leaders in surveys of 18 Latin American countries, conducted in May 2006 and December 2005, which found that 26 percent approved of Chávez and 27 percent of Bush. Chávez had lower levels of disapproval (30%) than did Bush (42%), however.
The Venezuelan leaders approval was highest in his own country (49%), Uruguay (47%), Bolivia (43%) and Argentina (38%), Gallup found. It was lowest in Nicaragua (10%), Mexico (10%), and El Salvador (13%). Bush was most popular in Panama (44% approval), Colombia (39%) and Honduras (36%), least in Argentina (9%), Paraguay (12%) and Brazil and Uruguay (21% both).

Intel-powered Android notebooks coming soon; likely to cost $200
Last week, Intel CEO Paul Otellini had disclosed that touchscreen PCs could make a debut at prices as low as $200.
Mumbai: If this piece of news is to be believed, then very soon we will see Intel-powered Android notebooks for as low as $200 (Rs 10,880 approx). Dadi Perlmutter, Intel's executive vice president and chief product officer, told CNET that notebooks carrying a price tag around $200 will predominantly be Android devices equipped with Intel's Atom mobile processors.
However, there is no further information about these Android notebooks. It is unclear how they'd look like. Seemingly, they are expected to be convertible type devices, the hybrid trend that we saw at the popular tech shows earlier this year. Perlmutter expects the PC market to pick pace during the second half of the year as it heads into the year 2014.
Last week, Intel CEO Paul Otellini had disclosed that touchscreen PCs could make a debut at prices as low as $200. And this is expected to happen in the coming months. However, he hadn't specified which operating system these devices would carry, so one could have easily assumed Windows 8.
Whether Windows 8 PCs will carry such a low price largely depends on Microsoft, disclosed Perlmutter. He further added, "We have a good technology that enables a very cost-effective price point. The price of Windows 8 laptops depends on how Microsoft prices Windows 8. It may be a slightly higher price point."

Wouldn't it be nice to hear some positive economic news? I was happy to see this post on Equifax's credit blog today about positive signs from the 2011 credit market.
Their credit experts see an upturn in the health of credit markets in the new year. Why? They say lenders have scrubbed their portfolios of bad loans, and borrowers have cleared their portfolios of loans that might have soured.
Secondly, originations are up almost everywhere. Even the unthinkable is happening, as the number of home equity lines was higher year-over-year in October 2010—a first since 2006, when they started tracking originations. New auto loans are leading the way and are well off the lows of last year, with auto credit more than 17 percent higher this year than last year.
If you'd like to read more of the good news, check out the full post on the Equifax blog at http://credit.equifax.com/2011/02/economy-2011-credit-patterns-show-signs.html.
