Google updates Galaxy Nexus specs, may have killed 32GB model
0. phoneArena 19 Nov 2011, 12:20 posted on
Google quietly updated the specs for the Galaxy Nexus on the official website, the good news is that the official specs now show a bigger battery, but there is possible bad news in the changes as well...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Well this could go two ways! They will release the 16GB model december 8th and delay the 32GB two months later smart move if you think about it. But, another example of verizon sh*tting on verizon customers! No surprise though. Anybody think the RAZR is just as good of a phone?

how is that a smart move?...
30. beatsandmelody (Posts: 109; Member since: 01 Nov 2011)
That would be a terrible move because by then I'll have just decided to purchase the razr. Sorry, 16 GB of non expandable storage may be a deal breaker for me.
37. NexusisaPOS (Posts: 2; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
The Nexus is a POS here\'s why
1. it\'s late as hell by that I mean the SG3 is about to be announced real soon along with the tegra 3 devices and s4 equips.
2. the hardware is a POS 4460 with it\'s old architect gpu is just that OLD. compared to the powerVR on the new Iphones it\'s a joke.
3. The new razr bench mark was only 2500 compared to the gs2 3400+ on stock unrooted. So how much can the nexus be I doubt it can beat the gs2. Also don\'t give me that crap about the screen resolution because it has been said time and time again that it\'s only a 5% difference.
4. When review on youtube compared to browser experience between the razr, gs2, and the 4s the razr was like studdering when panning, pinch to zoom etc... so I bet the nexus which uses to ti omap 4460 is almost the same.
5. the new android OS while looking new and nice is probably full of bugs
6. Verizon is selling this POS for $300 plus tax and activation fee so that\'s like $400+ you could get better phones for a fraction of that price
7. No gorilla glass IDC what test they do with this new glass it has not been proven by day to day use that it is good
wow I can go on and on but whatever...

1) the SGS3 is not even in RUMOR MILL, much less an official announcement. Fat chance of seeing it in the states by summer at the earliest.
2) The OMAP uses the POWERVR GPU which is the strongest gpu on the market today.
3) the Razr's benchmark has NOTHING to do with the Nexus. If you look at the tegra3 benchmark thread, it shows the actual nexus bechmarks as slightly higher than the SGS2. Why? Because ICS is hardware accellerated, gingerbread is not.
4) you keep talking about the razr like its the nexus.. its not. get over it.
5) show me proof.
6) Verizon wont be the only avenue for the phone, they just have an exclusivity period. The Tmo version, if released, will probably be the same price as the SGS2 (230) and u can get plan thats less than half of VZW for full unlimited 4G.
7) They have already confermed destruction resistant glass. There are other avenues for glass than Corning.
You could go on, but first you should do research.
42. sgogeta4 (Posts: 394; Member since: 02 Feb 2011)
I'm sure Samsung is using a Corning product, after all they have a joint venture with them. Do you really think that they will be using something inferior to Gorilla glass, which they are selling to their competitors? In fact, I'd bet money that the glass on the Nexus is better than Gorilla glass, which is just the marketing name for one of their many lines of glass products.
47. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Samsung also makes their chips and screens in house, but went with another brand of chip (OMAP instead of exynos), so yea its completely possible.
Different brands dont necessarily mean inferior. It could be a test device for that new dragon glass or whatever its called, or someone we havent heard of yet, so they see real world use on a wide scale. Corning said it wasnt gorilla glass though.
As long as its some kind of durable glass, I'm happy.

Remixfa Thanks for the Reality check story time.. I love you.

you are both loved back. :)

Now if you are a Verizon customer whose contract expires very soon. Then you should get the nexus, if you've just got a Razr or GALAXY Sll, then it would be stupid to trade it for a nexus. When you bring in the fact of the PENTILE matrix the result is interesting
Razr: 209ppi
Sll: 217ppi
Nexus: 220ppi
So,all 3 have more or less exactly the same pixel density, the best AMOLED screen is on the Sll.
Updates are not an issue as the Sll and Razr will both receive it.
The design of all 3 is amazing with the best probably being the Nexus
For benchmark people: Get the Sll
For fans of sexy and premium design: Get the Razr
For fans of sexy design and unskinned android: Get the Nexus
If you just got an Sll or a Razr, don't be jealous if i had a choice between all 3 then the RAZR is the way to go.

For heavens sake! Pentile screens do not reduce apparent resolution by 1/3!
Stop reducing that because when you see the screen, your eyes do not see if it is one or two green subpixels, specially at that resolution!
Phonearena did a unbiased review on the technologies and that backs me up! I have a Samsung Galaxy S I and i've never seen any disadvantages to it.
60. kpfirefighter (Posts: 160; Member since: 20 Sep 2011)
I\'m just saying that people will jump on the 16GB phone cause they want it that bad. So it will probably sell like crazy! But some people will hold out for the 32GB and thats the phone thats most desired. Its like releasing the 16GB phone will ease people off their sh#t a little bit. Cause lets face it A LOT of people who dont know much about phones will be talked into the 16GB saying its plenty! But people that know their sh#t will wait. So its a good move cause they will doulbe dip profits on both phones! I really hate verizon over all they have done this year so I was being sarcastic about the good move. It\'s chicken sh#t if you ask me!
67. newTROLL (Posts: 1; Member since: 20 Nov 2011)
People here sure are easy to impress just look at how yesterdays top android phones are just begging for an update to a new OS. The nexus is a fail:
that gpu while is a powerVR is OLD architect just clocked up. Come JAN and a slew of new phone will be out that will just laugh at the 540.
that great screen you all are drolling for well again it's pentile and i'm very sure samsung has a sRGB HD screen already made and is ready for the gs3.
the ompa 4460 will never be as smooth as an exynos or a 4s when using day to day.
like many have said the nexus is a developers phone not a cutting age device so i don't get all the hoorars
2. Derekjeter (Posts: 900; Member since: 27 Oct 2011)
Well looks like im keeping my upgrade till the quadcore phones and comeout and I will keep my Razr. Verizon is always f**king with the customer.
15. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Looks like my decision to go with the RAZR was a good one. When there is a larger pool of ICS/quad core/LTE/720p/4.3+ inch display handsets, then it will be time to think about my next purchase. At the moment, I am loving the RAZR's features and its blazing FAST LTE connections. 26 Mbps down anyone? This is faster than my cable modem service with Comcast.
36. Leodrade (Posts: 87; Member since: 26 Aug 2011)
You and me both, i hope they release the SGS III soon
3. Kmack (Posts: 26; Member since: 15 Nov 2011)
^^ Its all about the profits DJ, as always.
7. superguy (Posts: 293; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
If they keep mucking with the specs (downgrading) and keep delaying it, there isn't going to be much profit to be made.
33. Joshing4fun (Posts: 1236; Member since: 13 Aug 2010)
Mucking the specs? No they're not. They're just not as impressive as everyone built them up to be.
Delaying it? When has it been delayed? A launch date hasn't been annouced. No launch date, not delayed.
Plus 16GB is a lot! I know ya'll probably don't even come closed to using that much. Stop complaining about little specs. It only matters how it functions overall which will probably be near perfect compared to many androids.
35. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
lol, i filled 16 gig in about 30 mins. thankfully with the invent of google music that freed back up 12 gigs. peeps really need to put their music on G-music and free up that space! :)
51. superguy (Posts: 293; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
Of course, cloud music isn't always accessible in areas without service or if you're traveling by plane.
16GB isn't that much. It doesn't take that much to fill it up. I'd be fine with 16GB if i had the option of adding more with an SD card. However, it's not.
Saying there's going to be a 16/32GB version and then coming back and saying "just kidding it's only 16GB" is mucking with it. Now, that may have been Google, Verizon, or Sammy doing it. We don't know. But that's a deal breaker for some.
Has a date officially been announced? No it hasn't. However, it DOES look like Verizon found something it wasn't happy with and is going thru more testing. This phone was announced in October with a vague timeframe of November given. Then that went back to "by the end of the year." We keep see it getting later and later while the rest of it happened.
Slipped launch date may be debatable, but frying them for a bad US launch isn't.
76. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
well, there still is a 16 and 32 gb version. VZW never confirmed one or the other, so can we really get mad at them for that? A web page isnt an official confirmation. It still sucks though.
with G-music you can dl a bunch of songs to your card if you know your going to be out of service for a while. takes a little preplanning, but its not hard to do.
74. networkdood (Posts: 6330; Member since: 31 Mar 2010)
Yeah, I dumped SPOTIFY for Google Music.
45. vantenkiest (Posts: 311; Member since: 20 Apr 2011)
i use my phone as a portable storage device for my work.. i have programs for my pc on here that allow me to work.. i have 16 gigs full already And I mean full i have a grand total of 9.37mb free thats it
49. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
at least you are getting use of your phone :)
the last time i actually filled my card i think is when i tried to record a Shinedown concert in full. Didnt quite work. :) It got a lot of static from too much noise in the video so i deleted it anyways :(.
They really need to work on how phones pick up sound for video since my actual camera can record a concert in near perfect sound.. but i digress.
53. vantenkiest (Posts: 311; Member since: 20 Apr 2011)
yeah we found out on my fiancees Dinc2 at Gaelic Storm that concerts are almost always going to be a fail...
but was fun anyway..
4. superguy (Posts: 293; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
16GB with no SD slot is a deal breaker for me. I picked up a Rezound last night and will re-evaluate when then Nexus comes out. In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy the Rezound.
Verizon/Samsung/Google really blew this launch in the US.
6. Alantef (Posts: 288; Member since: 14 Sep 2011)
hows the beats on your rezounds?..wroth it?
10. superguy (Posts: 293; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
I'll tell you when I play with it today. I bought it off contract at Best Buy and the idiots didn't give me a SIM card for it. I asked, they said it was in there and to call Verizon when I got home. Got home, it wasn't there. I'm about to head over to a Verizon store to get it activated.
14. roscuthiii (Posts: 2217; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
Sometimes I'm amazed Best Buy is still in business.
12. roldefol (Posts: 4253; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
I have to agree, I'll be keeping the phone for at least the 20 month upgrade cycle, and if I'm still limited to 16 GB when Jellybean arrives, I don't know how well the phone will handle. Not to mention I might want to push off my music onto the phone, and that's 18 GB right there.
We'll see what happens, but a 16 GB Nexus is not enough, even if they knock it down to $250.
8. toxic (Posts: 11; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
that will be horrable if it has 16 gb, to small , plus you can buy the iphone 4s 16gb for $199. unless they charge the $199 price for the 16gb

Verizon don't use GSM aka Sim Card They use CDMA older technology so you won't get any sim card
21. nickjjay (Posts: 79; Member since: 10 Oct 2011)
Actually they do use an lte sim card on the lte devices.
22. nickjjay (Posts: 79; Member since: 10 Oct 2011)
Both GSM and LTE use sim cards
32. bossmt_2 (Posts: 449; Member since: 13 Oct 2009)
LTE uses a sim, but you can't make phone calls on verizon's LTE yet, that's why they're all CDMA/LTE hybrids (that and the whole 3G network being CDMA) so for all intents and purposes Verizon doesn't use Sim Cards in the sense that getting an unlocked phone will have any real functionality on Verizon's Network. Though yes LTE is a GSM based technology, and all Verizon LTE phones have sims (more accurately I believe all new ones use Micro Sims) So if you do so you better be sure that everywhere you go has LTE, or you have wifi and a google voice account everyone knows.
13. Kevin098 (banned) (Posts: 2; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
This is suck, NO SD card is ok but NO 32GB Option? This is completely W.T.F !!! I better go with Motorola Razr, it have 16gb storage and pre-install 16GB SD card, that is 32GB ! Bye Google, your 3rd google flagship device failed again and again.
19. nickjjay (Posts: 79; Member since: 10 Oct 2011)
Haha. No speak english?
17. roldefol (Posts: 4253; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
I wonder if this is Verizon's crappy way of making up for the lost profit of bloatware. Sure, you can have your bloat-free Nexus, but we're charging $300 for the 16 GB model while everything else at that price has at least 32 GB.
I wouldn't put it past them. I love Verizon's service, but they're definitely eying the bottom line, not the user.
23. roldefol (Posts: 4253; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
Or my other conspiracy theory - that out of fairness to the manufacturers, Verizon can't have a clear-cut #1 phone. The Razr, Rezound and Nexus would each have a clear disadvantage.
18. roscuthiii (Posts: 2217; Member since: 18 Jul 2010)
Friggin' Verizon! I have no doubt this is their doing. As much as I enjoy their service, I hope they never get a Nexus branded device to corrupt again. The Nexus had been my front runner for a while; right now it's in 3rd place for me behind the Razr and the Rezound.
There are already people receiving their Galaxy Nexus phones across the pond (even "The Woz" got one) and for these kinds of changes to be made now after debut just seems like a Big Red slap in the face.
I think I'll just hold off on any upgrades for now until I'm off of contract this spring. (Might be time for a new carrier)
20. nastynaps (Posts: 93; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Maybe someone should tweet Woz and see if he got a 16gb version. Each time I hear more news about this phone I think maybe I can hold on to my Eris just a little bit longer. I'm readying for the quadcore revolution.
24. roldefol (Posts: 4253; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
I'm betting Woz got an unlocked GSM version.
25. bossmt_2 (Posts: 449; Member since: 13 Oct 2009)
Has it been confirmed there is no SD card support for the Nexus yet? Or will it be like the Xoom where it's unlocked later with software? Cause in the introduction video when they insert the battery it looks like there is an SD card slot with a dummy installed, so to me I'd think the latter would happen.
38. jcoberg10 (Posts: 110; Member since: 30 Oct 2009)
i saw the same thing, but google announced it won't have USB mass storage which also confirms that it doesn't have SD card support.
61. kpfirefighter (Posts: 160; Member since: 20 Sep 2011)
it\'s hard to tell what the truth. Cause in the video the back of the phone said verizon. All the pictures of the nexus don\'t have that!

Did they release a 32GB model in UK? When you go to the Google UK site, it shows only a 16GB version as well. Could it all have been conjecture?
28. readingthissh1t (Posts: 303; Member since: 20 Jul 2011)
PHUCK VERIZON!!! ALLL CAPS NERD RAGE!!! EXPECT EMAILS DAMMIT!! but im still getting the phone, as long as i have my v.i.p ota's its cool. i never go over 6 gigs on my eris anyway
29. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)

34. wlrottge (Posts: 7; Member since: 19 Nov 2011)
Here, want something to melt your brain? Go check out the spec's on the UK model as published by O2, a cell provider over there. They list a microsd card! (WTF!!!???)
39. Alantef (Posts: 288; Member since: 14 Sep 2011)
my only question is....where the HELL is the 32GB model then????.....if its not in the UK or @ Verizon....where the hell is it?....im still waiting for the unlocked 32GB GSM model....RELEASE MY PHONE DAMN IT!!!!
41. MorePhonesThanNeeded (Posts: 645; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
Lol, Verizon has clout but not that much. This is more than likely a decision by Samsung and Google. Notice Google just launched their Music with cloud saving feature, what better way to show it off than to utilize their new Flagship ICS device? I swear sometimes people need to slow down and think, besides why would you really need to fill a device with that much data to carry around with you? The cloud is what is going to be google's next push watch and see. I've got a 16 card in my phone right now and it's mainly music still only half of it left to use, if you have more than that in music, there is no possible way you can listen to all of that in a week. You people can say all you want, that is BS that would actually to feasibly listen to anywhere 16 gigs worth of music. But you know people like having excess for whatever reason, which is why we tend to see people having yard and stoop sales in the summer all that crap you thought you needed but obviously didn't.
Perhaps if you like having movies, wait a minute...unless you plan on watching those movies repeatedly then storing them on your phone is a bit hmmm, wasteful when you can stream. Even if you change it out every few days, you can do the same with music on the 16GB memory and stop complaining like you actually need 40GB of space.
I'm sure I will get loads of negs and complaints but I bet it's mostly from people who like to be right about everything and truly know what I am saying is truth. Truth stings and usually makes people defensive...go ahead give it a shot.
Sure some people might legitimately have uses for over 16GB of space, but really the one's complaining are just doing it because it's something to complain about. I only hate the fact that the memory isn't expandable optionally, I prefer that to being locked into iDevice type of memory limit. These Android phones starting to look more and more like Apples' products...Droid Razr non user removable battery, Nexus Prime non upgradeable memory, I wonder what's next? Hey they could be pulling an Apple-esque move and releasing 16GB now and 5 months later a 32GB version of the same damn phone...hey who knows it might work. Lmao!
43. Alantef (Posts: 288; Member since: 14 Sep 2011)
no negs here.....everything your saying is true in my eyes....but its just the principal of the whole thing....like me i just rather have 32GB...just because...if i use it or not...like now i have a 32GB card in my phone...only used 10GB and i know i can delete half the crap on there....with both netflix and hulu plus on my phone...its not needed what-so-ever but its still WANTED....

This is the formal report of this symposium; the papers presented and their discussion seemed a little like invading a private family affair. One learns the latest gossip, but must not be upset by the irrelevancies of undirected conversation and even an occasional quarrel. For this reason and because many of the papers were highly specialized, packed with data, and not always easy to read, this symposium need not be considered required reading for the physician who is not particularly interested in the biliary tract.
For those of us for whom this anatomicalphysiological unit is our very life's blood, the book requires cover to cover reading.

NeSmith Weekly Tour Adds Southern Raceway
Southern Raceway was a part of the NeSmith Chevrolet Old Man's Garage Weekly Racing Series in 2007. Local favorite Frank Wilson of Harold, Fla., won the series' Southern Region Championship that season. Wilson also competes in the NeSmith Chevrolet Dirt Late Model Series Touring Division.
"After talking with the series' Competition Director Tim Sims and clarifying how the points structure works for the National Championship, we are committed to a minimum of 14 races so our local guys have a shot at the $10,000-to-win title," Hoover said. "We are still working on the details of the schedule, and I really hope to have 18 to 20 races."
Hoover asked that everyone check the track web site where they will post the NeSmith Chevrolet Old Man's Garage Late Model Division schedule as soon as all of the details are ironed out.
The dirt late model race cars in the NeSmith Chevrolet Old Man's Garage Weekly Racing Series are powered by the economical Chevrolet Performance Crate Engines that are built and sealed at the factory to prevent any expensive modifications. There are two engines to choose from, the 400 horsepower aluminum-head 604 engine and the 350 horsepower steel-head 602 engine that gets a 100-pound weight break.
"We were looking for a more affordable form of Late Model racing, and both the racers and the fans had been asking about it and wanting it," Hoover said. "We felt like now is the time to give them an affordable Late Model class, and we were already familiar with the NeSmith series. We knew it would be a good fit for us and what we want to do."

In making the rounds this past Family Weekend, I wondered what an 8-year-old brother of a Johnnie would have to say about the election. Sure, the kid can't vote, but he has a voice as much as any other.
"So who would you vote for?" I asked. "Mitt Romney," he proudly declared.
"And why's that?"
"Because if I voted for Obama, my dad would make me sleep outside."
A reasonable response from the little guy; I gave him nucks. Not because I know he wants to vote for Obama, but because I'm glad to know that by the time he can vote (and especially if he attends St. John's), he'll probably stick it to the man. With this in mind, the significance of young voters in America is often underrated. Today, in fact, 21 percent of all eligible voters are between the ages of 18 and 29. By comparison, our chunk of 46 million eligible balloters outnumbers seniors by 7 million. As it will be the first time voting of a large majority of the students reading this, I find it appropriate to reflect on this substantial influence.
I first applaud our students on the amount of engagement with the issues taking place this year. The political climate is palpable. I have no doubt students feel comfortable confronting the problems and voicing their thoughts. In fact, a recent study reported that 80 percent of college students "feel empowered to form their own opinions on social/political issues." It's notable that this is a marked improvement on years past, and I have wondered why this is the case. For one, it's plausible to reason that the primary means of our engagement with the issues have taken new form.
And don't be mistaken-it's a very serious change. The revolution that is social media has been brought to the forefront and churns out remarkable statistics daily. For example, during President Obama's DNC nomination speech, the Tweetosphere tallied 52,756 tweets per minute, setting a new record. The event in total saw 9.5 million mentions reflecting an unprecedented amount of interaction. What's more here is that the average age of social media users is 18-34. Our generation leads the charge and that is inspiring.
At times, however, I question if these staggering statistics are a measure of increased civic engagement or rather propensity towards civic entertainment. While perhaps not mutually exclusive, at times it appears that concern is misguided and stops at a tweet. We're granted freedom and liberty to express our views, but tucked away in cyberspace I'm not convinced these are effective means to make change.
Don't get me wrong, new voters. Vote. Vote and tweet, and update your status in jubilee for democracy. That said, don't stop there. And Andrew Hovel, SJU junior and SJS senator, so advises in his current FB status: "Live your vote." The way we make continual change for the better is to take a stand for what's needed these next four years, regardless of the outcome.
All elections are hyped "the most important in years." This one, however, really is — the future of America will see one of two very different paths. Given the state of affairs worldwide, it's imperative that American citizens choose a proper leader. In the wake of that decision, it's equally imperative we act. My younger pal may sleep outside a few nights after Nov. 6; nevertheless exercising democracy has never been more exciting.

of, and to hold "two negro wenches," Sylvia-JaneJane , and
Ruth-JaneJane , sold by the Defendant, by Notarial Act of
fourth December 1785, which assigned them to one
JacobsJacobs during of their natural lives. The Defendant
made default to appear, and the cause went undefended;
the Court in consequence, by Judgment of the
Eighteenth March 1788, adopting thePlaintiffs' demand,
condemned the Defendants to deliver up the wenches or
pay 50 currency.
Povievs. LaGord:- Action to recover back the price
paid by the Plaintiff for John BrownJohn Brown , a negro, sold as a
slave by the Defendant. The record states, that BrownBrown
was not a slave, and the Judgment of the third of July 1788,
in conformity with the records, was in favour of the plaintiff;
Mittleberger vs Langan:- An action, similar to
the one last-mentioned, for the price paid for a negro, named
nNero. The record shews that the negro had been made a
prisoner of war by the Mowhawk Indians, at Ballston in the
state of New YorkYork , from the property of his master Colonel
Gordon, and brought into MontrealMontreal, where the Plaintiff
as the agent of the Mohawks, sold him, that he was confined
in the Provots prison at MontrealMontreal, as a prisoner
of war, and received military rations as such, and that
on his being discharged from the prison, by Brigadier
M. Lean, the commanding Officer, he returned to his former
master, Colonel Gordon, at Ballston, where he had
been seen by the witness. On this Evidence the plaintiff
obtained judgment in his favour on the twentieth of January, 1789.
TurnerTurner & Wife vs.SullivanSullivan : - Action for balance
of price for ManuelManuel , sold as a slave. ManuelManuel had
been sold as a slave for his natural life, and [ had ]
had afterwards, on the same day, entered into articles
of servitude with SullivanSullivan , the Defendant, to serve him
for five years, and then be free. The plea was, that
ManuelManuel was not a slave, and that the plaintiffs had
deceitfully represented him as being a slave, and thereby
obtained from the defendant certain payments amounting
to 18, on account of the price; and of which payments
the Defendant by an incidental demand claimed the
repayment, with damages &ca. ManuelManuel himself
intervened in the cause, and claimed his freedom under
the law of the land. In February 1799, the Court dismissed
the action, for want of any title in the plaintiffs to
tranfer any property in ManuelManuel , and, on the incidental
demand, condemned the plaintiffs to repay the 18. to
the defendant.

to the regularity and sufficiency of the pleadings, and
from defect of proof, on both sides, at the trial. Upon
the return of the record to the Court below, the Common
Pleas Judgment was rendered on the twenty eighth day of February 1794, after much argument, chiefly upon
technical grounds of informality in the pleadings filed,
and upon the mode of proceeding to proof on the two questions
of marriage and slavery, whether it should be

Lot # 1473 (of 1673) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1960-1964 Eddie Mathews Signed Pro-Model Bat
Starting Bid - $500.00 , Sold For - $4,700.00
Eddie Mathews H&B signature model "S2" bat dating from the 1960-1964 manufacturing period. Mathews averaged over thirty home runs each year from 1960 to 1964, enroute to hitting over 500 home runs in his seventeen-year career. Some of them may have been hit with this very bat. The bat displays heavy use, including ball marks, cleat marks and moderate deadwood on the back of the barrel. Approximately sixty percent of the knob has been chipped away and the bat has lost much of its original finish. Mathews has personally attested to the bat's provenance by inscribing it "My Gamer - Eddie Mathews" in black marker (grading "9/10") on the sweet spot. Mathews was one of the greatest power hitters of his era. During the 1950s and early 1960s he combined with Hank Aaron to form one of the greatest slugger tandems in the history of the game. Mathews helped lead Milwaukee to two pennants and one World Championship during his fifteen years with the club. A member of baseball's elite "500 Home Run Club," Mathews finished his career with 512 home runs, 1,453 RBI, and a .271 lifetime average. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1978. Length: 34.75 inches. Weight: 31.1. Graded A8 by MEARS (5 point base grade, plus 3 point for use and another 2 points for the inscription on the barrel, but minus 1.5 points combined for the knob chips and deadwood, and a half point for the loss of finish). This is one of just eight 1960-1964 Eddie Mathews H&B bat listed in the MEARS census, with one other at this level, and three graded higher. This bat has been consigned to this auction directly from the personal collection/inventory of world-renowned bat and jersey authenticators David Bushing and/or Troy Kinunen. LOAs from Dave Bushing & Troy Kinunen/MEARS and James Spence/JSA. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500. SOLD FOR $4,700.00

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles (25) fumbles the ball as he is hit by Indianapolis Colts defensive end Clifton Geathers during the first half of an NFL football game Sunday, Dec. 23, 2012, in Kansas City, Mo. The Colts recovered the fumble. (AP Photo/Orlin Wagner)
Stay tuned for our full recap within the hour.
Outgained by 305 yards before their final two drives, the Colts pulled a rabbit out of their hat in Kansas City to come up with a victory.
First Impressions
-A win is a win. The better team didn't play better, but they did enough to win the game.
-The Defense had a rough day but took advantage of every opportunity that came their way.
-Jerrell Freeman is not a man I want tackling me when he's angry…or ever, for that matter.
-The Colts need to do something about their abysmal pass protection. That kind of thing is going to shorten Andrew Luck's career if it continues.
-Dwight Freeney fought through some blatant holds in this game.
-The Colts are in the playoffs, but the downward trend in offensive production puts a damper on the excitement.
-As I type this, Cincinnati is also clinching the playoffs.
Full recap is on the way.

Are We Getting Sadder?
the princeton review and the pursuit of happiness
The Brown University brand boasts the prestige of the Ivy League, the innovation of the open curriculum, and phenomenal undergraduate access to research. The admissions office has an easy sell to prospective students: Our diploma carries a difficult-to-dispute degree of distinction. But when it comes down to selecting a school, branding is not everything.
Most of us can admit to spending an inordinate amount of time plumbing the depths of ranking and opinion aggregators like College Prowler and College Confidential. In hopes of attaining that glorious inside scoop on the student experience, maybe even before we stepped foot on campus, we scrutinized every online tidbit. Intangibles of student happiness—social life, quality of campus food, dorm comfort—factored into our decisions (as well they should have). Luckily for us, there was also the be-all and end-all in quantifying such subjectivity, the Princeton Review.
As a 2009 high school graduate, I was particularly drawn to Brown's title as the nation's "School with the Happiest Students," in the 2010 Princeton Review. As many in the classes of 2013 and 2014 (Brown snagged the top spot in 2011, as well) report, it felt good to know our university was home to the greatest number of smiles per capita. If we were going to spend four years here, we wanted to enjoy them. Brown's number one happiness ranking made more attractive ammunition for the admissions cannon.
When the 2012 rankings were released, another sign of the apocalypse emerged. We had dropped to a slovenly number three on the list, falling to Rice University and Clemson University. Sure, being in the top three is nice—but it's in no way brag-worthy. No current Brown student is hollering the ranking from atop College Hill; no prospective Brown student is drooling over our bronze medal. Now, it's just another statistic to skim over, another nod-worthy figure to put in a back pocket. Perhaps we can take solace in the fact that Stanford students (number four on the list) are marginally less happy than we are. To them I'll offer a half-hearted, "Take that, palm trees."
Of course, happiness is inherently subjective. As David Bowie asks in Labyrinth, "But what is your basis of comparison?"
With wonderful see-if-you-can-spot-the-difference flair, the Princeton Review notes on its website that "the Princeton Review college rankings are different from the Princeton Review college ratings." In computing its rankings, the organization surveys upwards of 122,000 students from 376 colleges. In a straightforward manner, scores for each question, which address everything from social life to radio station to cafeteria food, are averaged and ordered. A given university's "happy students" ranking is dependent on the surveyed students' quantitative responses to the single question, "Overall, how happy are you?" Respondents choose one of the following: "I'm miserable," "I'm not that happy," "I'm happy," "I'm very happy," and "I love it here."
This is actually a pretty good metric. The simple question cuts to the heart of the issue, and the numbers seem to be consistent. Since the same schools tend to appear in the top twenty each year, the question must be measuring some real dimension of variance between these colleges and the other 356 on the list. Presumably, the dimension here is student happiness—it is difficult to imagine the question is measuring anything else. We can therefore accept the survey and subsequent rankings as valid, but this prompts a scary question: Are we, as an entire student body, getting sadder? Or perhaps, is the Class of 2015 demonstrably less happy? Are other universities getting happier—or are they bringing aboard happier students?
Fumbling for an explanation, some immediate ideas come to mind. It is easy to suggest reasons for a decline in Brown student happiness: Ruth leaving, that awkward single-person card-swipe entrance at the Rock, Toledo shutting its doors. On a campus with drastically fewer pizza cones, maybe the drop in happiness is the result of an accumulation of supposed trivialities. But is there something number one and number two are doing that we are not?
Jennifer Setzler, an admissions counselor at South Carolina's Clemson University (number two), offered her perspective on student happiness: "For us, it's the Southern culture: we say hello, greet everyone, and stop in the middle of the road to direct everyone. People hold the door open for [prospective students] and take them downtown to get ice cream."
Setzler later added, "I think that our location is also a reason for having such a happy group of students. We are not in a big city and have gorgeous mountains nearby and a lake on campus and there's always something for the students to do. I also think that the students feel challenged, but not overwhelmed at Clemson." Yet, theoretically (albeit pending confirmation), the mountains and the lake—and even the stress level and the ice cream—have been constants in Clemson's happiness equation, so this speaks toward a decline in Brown student happiness.
Rice University—the three-time top dog in "Quality of Life" and, most recently, the cream of the crop in happy students—is a medium-sized private college in Houston, Texas. Though the newest frontrunner declined to comment, Rice's Director of News and Media Relations directed me to an article published in Rice News shortly after the release of this year's rankings.
According to the article, "[Rice President David] Leebron cited campus beauty, opportunities to engage with the city of Houston, southern hospitality and new facilities on campus as some of the factors that contributed to Rice's high rankings. 'But at the end of the day, it's really about how people treat each other—how our students treat each other, the way our staff treats the students and the way the faculty regards the students,' he said. 'All those really are the core of the quality of life for our students.'"
Other sources of happiness include Rice's residential colleges (described as "Hogwarts style"), academic advising, opportunities for research and volunteer work around Houston, and the "fantastic" weather. But nothing on the lists distinguishes Rice from a host of other universities. The University of Michigan, the University of Chicago, Yale, and Princeton all have similarly self-described Potterian housing. Brown has a hefty advising network, wonderful research opportunities, and, well, almost "fantastic" weather. If nothing is changing at Clemson and Rice, we should accept the possibility that Brown students are getting sadder. Perhaps the disgruntled critics of past Spring Weekend lineups have poisoned us all.
Conspiracy theories aside, the hyper-competitive college application process of today does offer a potential source of our waning happiness. Public Policy concentrator Moss Amer '13 posited that declining admission rates have attracted, and will continue to attract, students who are inherently less happy. "Now, a much higher proportion of the student body is comprised of individuals whose sole goal in applying to colleges was to attend an Ivy League—or otherwise high profile—school." The self-selection of happy students "will be replaced by a self-selection of workaholics who care more about grades than personal growth." With a newly-born, highly competitive School of Engineering and 2011's recording-breakingly low admissions rate, maybe we started attracting students who differ from the prototypical carefree treehugger for which Brown is known—all despite the University's reportedly holistic approach to admissions. Woes with the Corporation and Brown's recently questionable relationship with Providence probably do not help.
Of course, making an argument for the importance of happiness is superfluous. I'm going to do it anyway. We must embrace Brown's naïve giddiness of 2010. It is time we got off Spotted@Brown and tasted a little Chicken Finger Friday. Our University is relying on us. The admissions rate is not likely to increase substantially; that means the change must come from within. If we want happier incoming students (which we do—they are only going to sustain the atmosphere we know and love), we have to convince applicants that students are already happy here.
Perhaps it comes down to that Clemson ice cream. Providence translation? If we want Clemson-level happiness, we are going to need admissions-sponsored dates at Froyo World. Setzler added a telling point: "Clemson students are not the ones that mope around and cry." Can we say the same? Ray Bans and dark skinny jeans tell no lies.

ROGER Federer won a record-equalling seventh Wimbledon title and 17th Grand Slam crown yesterday, shattering tearful Andy Murray's dream of ending Britain's 76-year wait for an All England Club men's champion.
Federer, playing in his eighth Wimbledon final, triumphed 4-6 7-5 6-3 6-4 to join Pete Sampras and William Renshaw as a seven-time champion at Wimbledon.
The Swiss great, who has also regained the world No1 ranking, is just the third man over 30 to win Wimbledon following Rod Laver in 1969 and Arthur Ashe in 1975.
Murray, bidding to be the first British man since Fred Perry in 1936 to win Wimbledon, has now lost all four Grand Slam finals in which he has appeared.
"It equals me with Pete Sampras, who's my hero, so it feels amazing," said Federer, whose last Wimbledon title was in 2009 and was without a major tournament victory since the 2010 Australian Open.
"It feels great being back here as the winner. It feels like it's never left me. I think I played some of my best tennis in the last couple of matches. I couldn't be more happy."
On getting back to the world No1, Federer, who now has 75 titles, added: "I never stopped believing."
Murray, the first British man to reach a Wimbledon final since Bunny Austin in 1938, broke down in tears at the closing ceremony, delivering his speech but faltering on numerous occasions.
"I'm getting closer," said an emotional Murray, who had to gather himself before continuing.
"I'm going to try this but it won't be easy. Firstly I'd like to congratulate Roger. I was asked the other day if this is my best chance? Roger's 30. He's not bad for a 30-year-old."
In the opening exchanges of the final, Murray was the stronger player, making the most of his five-year advantage as Federer looked fatigued and ragged.
But once the £80m roof was shut in the early stages of the third set, as torrential rain bucketed down outside, the momentum shifted and Federer gained the ascendancy. Murray, defeated by Federer in the 2008 US Open and 2010 Australian Open finals without winning a set, broke in the first game when an uncharacteristically nervy Federer ballooned a drive volley and that break was backed up by a hold.
Federer held and retrieved the break, shrugging off the boozy call of "I love you, Roger" from a male fan in the 15000 crowd.
Murray survived two break points in the eighth game and made the most of the reprieve when he broke to lead 5-4 as Federer netted a forehand, having had to take evasive action to avoid a Murray missile.
The Scot then wrapped up the opener on an unreturned serve - it was the first set Murray had won in his three Grand Slam finals, with Federer's 16 unforced errors to his opponent's five proving key.
Murray saved a break point in the second game of the second set while Federer saved two in the fifth.
The two men served a pair of love games as Federer led 4-3 while Murray wasted two break points in the ninth game as the six-time champion clung on for a 5-4 advantage.
The Briton again served a love game for 5-5. But Federer held and suddenly carved out a set point with a magical drop volley in the 12th game. Another immaculate drop volley gave him the set 7-5.
At 1-1 and 40-0 for Federer in the third set, heavy rain drove the players off court for 40 minutes and the roof was closed.
In a dramatic sixth game, which lasted 20 minutes and went to 10 deuces, Murray took three tumbles, surrendered a 40-0 lead and Federer broke on a sixth break point for a 4-2 lead.
A ninth ace of the contest in the ninth game gave Federer the set 6-3 and a two sets to one lead.
Suddenly, the life and vibrancy seeped out of Murray. He felt his lower back, Victoria Beckham looked even more sombre in the royal box, and the Scot slipped 3-2 down off a killer backhand drive.
A 12th ace in the 10th game took Federer to two match points, the first of which was saved. But Murray went wide on a forehand to hand Federer victory.

FAU Receives Perfect Score for SACS Reaccreditation
Highest Possible Evaluation Achieved by 2 Percent of Universities
BOCA RATON, Fla. (March 6, 2013) – Florida Atlantic University has received a perfect score from the on-site reaffirmation of accreditation visitation team from the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) Commission on Colleges. The SACS team reported that no additional action is needed prior to submission to the entire SACS Commission on Colleges in December 2013 at its annual meeting. This was a result of a thorough review of FAU's compliance audit documents on every aspect of the University, visits to FAU's campuses, and meetings with key individuals and groups that provided leadership for this critically important initiative. Such a report is achieved by only 2 percent of colleges and universities undergoing similar reviews.
"This is a ringing endorsement of the current status of Florida Atlantic University and our collective vision for its growth and development in the years to come," said Anthony Barbar, chair of FAU's Board of Trustees. "I speak on behalf of the Board of Trustees in saying that we are very proud of this outcome and of the hard work from all members of the FAU community.
The reaccreditation process included a component that was designed to enhance student learning and further the mission of the University. FAU's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), Distinction through Discovery, aims to improve student learning by expanding a culture of undergraduate research and inquiry across all disciplines at the University.
FAU's definition of research focuses on inquiry. FAU faculty and students recognize inquiry to be a process and/or a product which centers on asking questions or solving problems and which encompasses intellectual traits that transcend subject matter divisions. Examples of such processes common to the disciplines included questioning existing ideas, identifying approaches to unstructured problems, thinking creatively, exploring new ideas and examining the processes by which knowledge is discovered.
SACS is the regional accrediting body for degree-granting institutions in the Southeast. Each SACS-accredited institution undergoes a review every 10 years.
For more information on FAU's QEP plan, visit www.fau.edu/qep/Quality_%20Enhancement_Plan_1_11_13.pdf.
-FAU-Florida Atlantic University, established in 1961, officially opened its doors in 1964 as the fifth public university in Florida. Today, the University, with an annual economic impact of $6.3 billion, serves more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students at sites throughout its six-county service region in southeast Florida. FAU's world-class teaching and research faculty serves students through 10 colleges: the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters, the College of Business, the College for Design and Social Inquiry, the College of Education, the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the Graduate College, the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, the Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing and the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science. FAU is ranked as a High Research Activity institution by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The University is placing special focus on the rapid development of three signature themes – marine and coastal issues, biotechnology and contemporary societal challenges – which provide opportunities for faculty and students to build upon FAU's existing strengths in research and scholarship.

Last week, I asked readers to share their thoughts on current events.
"What do we really think about the state of the nation? I'm asking you. What do you think about the economy, about our leadership in Washington, about your day-to-day life?"
Well, it worked, and it didn't. We had some issues with the posting of comments directly to the online story and several people expressed their displeasure with the commenting format: We allowed folks to express their thoughts with just a first name and community. Still, we got some interesting feedback.
Overall, it was a start. It's important that The Journal samples the opinion of our communities. Residents of the Eastern Panhandle need to share their thoughts and concerns. Our elected officials and community leaders need to hear what we think is important.
For the record, we don't care if you're Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, young or old, male or female. In fact, we hope for a wide variety of opinions and comments.
As stated, last week was a start. I hope to build a regular dialogue with readers through the newspaper and website, journal-news.net. The Journal must serve as this region's clearinghouse of ideas and comments. We must build on the astute and thought-provoking comments we are getting and move into new areas of discussion.
Here is a sample of this week's comments:
"Corporate PR spin, unrestrained 'corporate personhood' and lobbying of elected officials has hijacked the U.S. government and the public thought process. Corporations are now in charge! The news media used to provide an important safeguard with investigative reporting of corporate claims and publication of facts. However, because of the current financial squeeze on the media, it is becoming increasingly prevalent to simply regurgitate corporate press releases full of inaccuracies in the interest of time and staffing constraints. This is a grave danger to democracy."
Online submission
"I, for one, do not endorse people giving their opinions without identifying themselves, especially when it comes to political issues. Your Sunday column encourages people to weigh in while remaining anonymous. I am sure such an approach will be popular, but I don't know what good it does. During this upcoming election cycle we will be bombarded with ads paid for by groups that do not have to identify their members or their source of funds. Yet they can rip any politician they care to. I don't think that is 'free speech.' Free speech for me is the iconic Norman Rockwell painting of a man standing up in the middle of a town hall meeting speaking his mind. That is free speech. No doubt as the year goes on paid political operatives will be spreading disinformation and hatred on your website without fear of ever being caught. Who needs it! You want to express a political opinion, you want to take a shot at Presidents Obama or Bush, you should have to put your name on it! If you can't put your name on it, then you should keep your opinion to yourself.
Oh, and by the way, the mess we are currently in started when people voted for the presidential candidate they would rather drink a beer with (endorsed by your paper by the way), even though he was an alcoholic, than the boring global warming guy who wanted to put our retirement savings into a lockbox!"
- Steve Kozak, Harpers Ferry
"There are three areas in which America has come to the end of the line. Two obvious results and some solutions not politically correct nor, in most cases, probably individually acceptable. Too bad. ... .
1. Political lies and deceit and favoritism to special interests. Examples in this area include energy (biggest present one and the most unsecure one), taxes, banking in real money and information media.
2. Public news media in which the corporations involved in media are politically programmed to distort public imagination and build hopes and unrealities that do not exist in the real world. In other words, everything you hear is explained in the most optimistic scenario possible so as not to arouse the suspicions of the general public as to their real security threats. Because many millions of people have become more aware that something just doesn't seem right, real things that you actually see in everyday life are either misreported or not even mentioned in major public media outlets.
3. Educators, the people who are responsible for this most important area, are generally not real worldly or even interested in teaching basic awareness in real life. For instance, sound money and banking and accounting are eighth-grade math application and solutions requiring addition and subtraction and data entry and not calculus. Anything above that is subject to suspicious procedures and cannot be trusted when used by those convincing salesman dealing in hedge protections on your money ... .
4. I must mention that science, higher math, physics and chemistry all are responsible for present-day modern world infrastructure. The engineers and scientists and computer model specialists who have formed this world over the last century are approaching walls due to demographics most specifically, and the lack of further knowledge unknown, most apparent in political beliefs on the public to hide from them through a media of salesmen ... .
... Lastly big government is a big problem, but not as big as your media and educational systems starting at first-grade level on up. They are why big government exists after all.

"I am concerned with the 25 percent increase in government jobs since the current administration has taken office. I don't see our federal government reducing the size of the many departments, i.e.; Education; EPA; Energy Department; nor any representatives agreeing to taking at least a 10 percent reduction in pay and benefits. Education is not a federal function; it is a state function as stated in the constitution. The Department of Energy has been a total failure - reduce to barebones. Reduction in size of the federal government is the first move to help reduce the national debt.

CyanogenMod Application Store for Banned Applications
Most of the Android enthusiastic know be aware of CyanogenMod Team a customized, aftermarket community based firmware distribution for several Android devices. The original idea was from one of CyanogenMod team members Koushik Dutta.
He has developed lot of root applications. One of his recent application ClockworkMod Tether got banned from Android Market. According to Koushik:
Apps removed from the Market includes, one click root apps, emulators, tether apps, Visual Voicemail apps, and more. These are all completely legal (Nintendo emulators are fine, ROMs are NOT, there is a distinction)
He also spoke with Amazon but they also shot him down. That led to a idea why not create an alternative AppStore to host applications that got banned from Android market moderated by the CyanogenMod team. The application will be available for all ROMs (Custom and Stock) They would take a small cut from developers for paid application to main the server cost. So developers who's application got banned from Android Market will get a chance to host them in CyanogenMod Application store. Personally I think it's a good idea because I have seen lot of nice application disappearing from Market because in someway violated the market's terms of service.

Shirley Temple now: SAG Life Achievement Award winner
Shirley Temple, the biggest child star in film history, is now a grown woman. In fact, she has been one for quite some time. The 77-year-old Temple, in fact, has been named the next recipient of the Screen Actors Guild's Life Achievement Award, which will be presented to her at the SAG Awards ceremony in Los Angeles on January 12, 2006. (Image: Shirley Temple now.)
Shirley Temple has the distinction of being the youngest Academy Award winner – a special miniature Oscar handed her in 1935, when she was six – and the United States' top box office draw of the 1930s. Her movies during that period, almost invariably at 20th Century Fox, include titles such as Little Miss Marker (1934), which made her a star; Now and Forever (1935), as the little girl between Carole Lombard and Gary Cooper; and the John Ford-directed Wee Willie Winkie (1937).
Shirley Temple: Republican political roles
Temple's film career petered out when she was still in her 20s, but since then she has been active in politics during several Republican administrations. Among her political roles were U.S. delegate to the 24th U.N. General Assembly and U.S. ambassador to Ghana.
Currently known as Shirley Temple Black – her husband of 55 years, Charles Black, died last August 4 – the former Fox star has been working on her second book of memoirs. The first, titled Child Star (1988), covers her movie career from the early 1930s to 1949, and her life up to 1954.
SAG's Life Achievement Award winners
Previous recipients of SAG's Life Achievement Award include Edward G. Robinson, Barbara Stanwyck, Gregory Peck, Pearl Bailey, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Robert Redford, Elizabeth Taylor, Rosalind Russell, Katharine Hepburn, James Cagney, Burt Lancaster, Audrey Hepburn, Nanette Fabray, Danny Kaye, and last year's James Garner.

Who better than a pig, for instance, to teach a piggy little boy table manners? And what better way to cure the rainy-day "waddle-I-do's" than hunt for pirate treasure in Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle's upside-down house?
©1994 HarperCollins; (P)2009 Listening Library
"Each of these stories has obviously been told over and over to delighted children, who must throng around their author as the youngsters in the book do around Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle herself." (The Chicago Tribune)
"Family road trip necessity"
I had two children (age 5 and 7) in the car for a 10 hour round trip. This audiobook was the saving grace (saving sanity) of the day. The narrator's voice is pleasant to adult ears and completely captivating to the children's. They loved it so much they requested it over the portable DVD on the way home. Really. It also kept their attention so well we even had less rest-stop requests. - but it gets better - Since the story is actually about children behaving badly and then learning to be good through Mrs. Piggle Wiggle - my children were careful not to behave badly. Pure magic.
