6-way blind camera comparison: the results
0. phoneArena 29 Mar 2013, 11:02 posted on
Okay, guys, teasing time is over. Today we're revealing the results from our latest blind camera comparison, as well as the identities of all the smartphones that were used. A big "thank you" goes to everyone who cast their vote, and a 5 internets prize goes to those eagle-eyed few who named the handsets correctly in the comments! Perhaps you're all wondering which device we attached the mysterious Phone #4 moniker to. After all, that's the smartphone that got most of you guys' votes – in all three categories, for that matter...

According to Gsmarena it shows S4 is better than HTC One in low light. But we all know that this is not the case we have all seen photos of HTC One low light and there isnt one other phone from the competition that can beat it. So under that basis of what I have personally seen i believe this test is not enough and its not accurate. HTC One is better than galaxy s3 in all ways this test is s**t fooling most users believeing that The ONE cannot perform. I dare you guys to go get HTC One and do the tests for yourselves you wount be disappointed.
As for those of you who says Samsung and Apple won are you a DUMBASS? Since when second place wins? Pure FANBOYS and FANGIRLS

and the samsung loyalist is showing he's a broken record
hop along little boy, grown ups want to discuss without having a annoying kid butt in
your right about the fanboyism, seeing as samsung came second they have to try and play it off as a win for both apple and samsung......why not go further and say third place is a win too actually there all winners according to samsung fanboy logic lol
182. kclgphilsbsa (Posts: 765; Member since: 21 Jan 2013)
If that what u like then ill reconstruct my argument
Iphone won and outdid all the smartphones
And samsung won second place and trashes other smartphones except tthe mighty camera of iphone5
And lumia also won as running in the 3rd place but lumia is the best in lowlight for me based on other reviews, pureview tech is just excptional.. and the las generation galaxy s3 is still holding a great stand against htc one and xperia z..
Winning doesnt mean only one thing.. winning has so many meanings as long as u we change the point of view..

iPhone and Galaxy series came in at top 3. I'm not even surprised.
177. dakota30312 (Posts: 15; Member since: 27 Mar 2013)
Did any one feel that the subject matter of the photos was so horrible that after looking at about five I said "they all look the same"
Yep same boring grey sky same colorless bulding and yellow taxis sorry but the photos couldv'e been way better had you been shooting an actual pretty scene.

ok, maybe let's accept it. iphone's images are the best (in this article). but the rest of the images aint that bad at all and are actually not far off...
i'd still go for android devices. main reasons: customization and file sharing (thru bt,wifi-direct, nfc, etc...). basic things that a premium phone should be able to do (which the iphone can't).
187. phissith (Posts: 19; Member since: 22 Feb 2013)
A sad day for all of us Android fans, how could iPhone 5 have the beat camera with only 8 mp and on top of that beats many NEW Android 's of flagship WITH NEW TECH 13 MP OR ULTRA PIXEL?!
188. phissith (Posts: 19; Member since: 22 Feb 2013)
Just you wait for Moto X phone!
189. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
most on here are always waiting, and then when that comes out you will be waiting for the next phone
your never satisfied with whats out which shows there's something lacking
192. TechnoTechyes (Posts: 64; Member since: 24 Jan 2011)
I don't understand why you didn't do a normal variety of camera tests. Like:
Low light,
Shots per second,
Using the LED Flash,
And why did you not baseline the tests with a normal camera?
Indoor w/Strong Light,
and Video (which was really a repeat of Outdoor - Since I doubt anyone was evaluating frame to frame transitions)
That is not really enough testing.
In all honesty, I don't know why you did not test low light. I'd be curious to see the results of a real camera test.
199. Cod3rror (Posts: 129; Member since: 06 Apr 2013)
Phonearena, I really like your comparisons, but you guys really need to implement a different system for photo viewing, the current one sucks!
Or at least provide direct links to images.
200. Stephedojobs (Posts: 2; Member since: 08 Apr 2013)
Phonearena and Mobile-review is always bias. They are Apple fans. As for Nokia crap. It is a wrong decision for choosing Window.

I wonder why a 13 MP GS4 was compared here ? ? ?
iPhone is the clear Winner :-) NL920 and HTC one are really cool :-)
206. alliswellplssmile (Posts: 4; Member since: 16 Apr 2013)
I'm s4 lover, s4 snaps are good but iphone5 are better than s4
but here the great thing about iphone5 is, it is 8MP camera but reamining all are 13MP camera, its really great that IPhone5 8MP is better than 13MP camera of all other mobiles
kudos to IPhone5
if IPhone5 relase 13MP what will be the pixel clarity, will wait and see any how it gonna release 12MP camera in up coming version.

I think one of the reasons I am so irritated by the way women are treated here in Afghanistan is because I have always been surrounded by strong women.
Mother Tomberlin, my grandmother on my father's side, was a rock - able to get up in the morning and fix a breakfast big enough to feed an army, work in the blistering heat in the fields of her farm all day, and then end the day with more cooking, canning and whatever else needed doing.
Both of my older sisters are the type that will take crap off nobody, including their baby brother (I have scars to prove it). My younger step-sister is the same way.
My aunts are nice as can be, but not women you would want to cross.
I am married to another very strong woman.
But chief among the strong women in my life is Mama.
I was born the youngest of six children Mama had with Daddy. He got sick when I was 10 years old and died in the hospital. That left Mama with medical bills, a gas station she could no longer run without Daddy's daily involvement and six kids in various stages of need.
I can't say she did a perfect job. My sister and I were going to be removed by DHR, causing my brother and sister-in-law to intervene on an adoption. We were later adopted by my sister and brother-in-law. Again, both of those women were strong and I can never thank Bub, Charlene, Donna and Chris enough for what they did for me and Sonya.
But despite the hard times, Mama tried her best and we never felt unloved or neglected. Even when we were going to live with Bub and Charlene, both of us desired to stay with Mama.
We stayed close to Mama and she always found work, often in demanding manufacturing jobs.
She re-married late in life and had another daughter (that's seven kids, for those counting).
Through it all, she has managed to make each one of her children know they are individually loved and supported in whatever they do. She is eager to help out in any way she can and the big holidays include visits to her house where she puts out a spread you would think it took 10 caterers to orchestrate.
Today, the pillar of our family celebrates another birthday, though she only seems to be getting stronger and not older.
I love you, Mama. The fact that you are such a strong woman makes it easy for me to call myself a mama's boy and it not sound like a put-down. In fact, it's a badge of honor.

From its early days as a burgeoning port and railroad city to its current position as one of the nation's leading economic centers of industry, Houston, Texas has always been a city of transition and innovation. To prove that point, the city is home to the world's largest concentration of health care and research institutions and only New York City has more Fortune 500 headquarters within its city limits.
Houston is one of the leading energy-producing states and considered by many to be the energy capital of the world with its prevalence in not only the oil and natural gas industries, but also because of its growing base of renewable energy resources like wind and solar energy. In fact, five of the six top energy companies maintain a large base of operations in the area, including ExxonMobil, Shell, BP and Chevron.
Houston is also the home of Halliburton, Horizon Wind Energy, Apache Corporation and NASA's Johnson Space Center, where the Mission Control Center is located. The city is prominent in manufacturing, aeronautics, transportation, and health care sectors and is a leading center for the building of oilfield equipment.
Houston is one of the few U.S. cities that offer year-round resident companies in all major performing arts and its museum and theater districts welcome millions of visitors each year. Renters in Houston can revel all year long to the sights and sounds of the Houston Grand Opera, the Houston Ballet, the Houston Symphony Orchestra and the Alley Theater. The city's active theater district welcomes many of Broadway's biggest and best touring shows as well as a variety of concerts, shows and exhibitions.
The city's most notable cultural institutions include the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Holocaust Museum and the Contemporary Arts Museum of Houston. Also located in Houston's Theater District is the Bayou Place entertainment complex, a multilevel building featuring restaurants, bars, live music, billiards, and cinemas showcasing art house films. You will also find notable institutions of higher learning such as Rice University, University of Houston and Texas Southern University.
H-Town celebrates many annual events that shed light on the region's cultural diversity. Most notable include the world's largest livestock and rodeo show with the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo, the Greek Festival, the Houston Puerto Rican and Cuban Festival, the Bayou City Art Festival and the Houston Auto Show.
Houston, TX boasts 337 parks and of the top ten most populous cities in the nation, this city offers the most naturally green space with over 56,000 acres. The city's celebrated parks system includes Harmann Park, Lake Houston Park, Terry Hershey Park, Tranquility Park, Discovery Green and others. The city itself manages an additional 20,000 acres of green spaces, including the Houston Arboretum and Nature Center.
Houston has professional sports teams in every major league with the exception of the NHL. The city is home to the Texans in the NFL, the Astros in the MLB, the Rockets in the NBA, the Dynamo in the MLS, the Aeros in the AHL, the Wranglers in the WTT, the Takers in the ABA, the Energy and the H-Town Texas Cyclones in the IWFL, the Leones in the PDL, the Power in the WFA and the Lightening in the SIFL.
As for shopping, you can't go wrong in Houston, TX as the city has the largest shopping mall in the state with the Galleria. Other local shopping highlights include the Woodlands Mall, Highland Village and the Conroe Outlet Center, where many top brands and designer fashions can be purchased for less.
If you're moving to Houston, Texas and you're looking for a nice neighborhood to rent an apartment, condo, townhouse or single-family house, then your options are plentiful. The city has neighborhoods suitable for every budget and family-type. If you have pets, you might want to skip directly to our list of pet friendly apartments in Houston.
Katy is one of Houston's finest family-based suburbs with moderate to high-priced rentals and expertly-maintained streets. The neighborhood is routinely recognized for its school system and was a recipient of a national award from President George W. Bush in 2005 for its dedication to keeping the neighborhood clean.
If you're looking for more affordable housing in Houston, then the neighborhood of Montrose may suit your budget a little better. This area is closer to the city's downtown section, and its main drag is littered with coffee shops, diners and low-key shopping options.
River Oaks is one of Houston's more elegant neighborhoods with many luxury apartments and homes over the million-dollar mark; however, there are an abundance of very affordable rental complexes on the outskirts of the neighborhood.
The Woodlands neighborhood lives up to its name as this area features more than 1,800 acres of open space and nearly 100 outdoor parks. The area has 135 miles of wooded pathways to walk and no less than six award-winning golf courses. The cost of living in the Woodlands is slightly higher than the national average, but the majority of the school systems in this area are rated "Exemplary."
Rice Village is a neighborhood that surrounds Rice University so as you may expect, this area has a younger vibe and the cost of living is relatively more affordable than it would be in a more family-oriented neighborhood. With a host of late-night bars and restaurants open until 2 a.m., this area can get a little noisy in the weekend's wee-hours, so it's generally not recommended if peace and quiet are requirements in your search for a rental.
The city's downtown area is where one can find the greatest abundance of apartments and lofts available, but they do come at a price. One of the more expensive areas for rentals, downtown does offer tremendous advantages. It's a thriving social and cultural hub and offers the utmost in convenience. For some renters, the close proximity to work, the staggering number of activities and cultural opportunities and some of the best bars and restaurants around may counterbalance the increased cost of living.

So this is 9 days old, but after the Toledo Storm team ceased opperations to build a new arena ive been searching to find out what the new Toledo hockey franchise would be named. And they chose the "Toledo Walleye" initially i didnt like it but it makes sense. Although i dont care too much for the colors, Gold and 3 different shades of blue.
Also to note in the toledo blade article they actually considered "peckerheads" as a nickname.
But i wonder if the Wings will continue an affiliation with the new Toledo team starting in 2009. I kind of hope so it was fun watching possible future Red Wings.
btw i searched the forum and couldnt find anything on here about this. Hope its not a duplicate thread.

Importance Progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus is characterized by rigidity, painful muscle spasms, hyperekplexia, and brainstem signs. Recently, glycine receptor alpha 1 antibodies have been described in adult patients with progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus. We describe a pediatric case.
Observations A 14-month-old child developed startle-induced episodes of generalized rigidity and myoclonus, axial hyperextension, and trismus, without impairment of consciousness. Episodes occurred during wakefulness and sleep, lasted seconds, and were accompanied by moaning, tachypnea, and oxygen desaturation. Imaging, cerebrospinal fluid, endocrine, metabolic, and genetic screening findings were normal or negative. She was treated with intravenous steroids and immunoglobulins with resolution of symptoms, but she relapsed weeks later. At this time, episodes were more severe. Glycine receptor alpha 1 antibodies were found in serum (titer of 1:200, later 1:320) and cerebrospinal fluid (titer of 1:2). Treatment was restarted with intravenous steroids and immunoglobulins, with major improvement, and she began treatment with oral steroids. She had 4 milder relapses, with improvement after treatment adjustments.
Conclusions and Relevance To our knowledge, this is the first pediatric case of progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus associated with glycine receptor alpha 1 antibodies, a potentially severe but treatable antibody-mediated neurological disorder.
Progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus (PERM) is a rare neurological disorder, until recently classified as part of the stiff person syndrome (SPS) spectrum.1 However, PERM differs from SPS by the presence of brainstem, autonomic, and long-tract signs and its usually aggressive course. It is characterized by limb and truncal rigidity, painful muscle spasms, hyperekplexia, and brainstem involvement (eg, ocular motor disturbance, dysphagia, dysarthria).1 In most patients, the onset is subacute over weeks and the duration of illness ranges from weeks to years, often with exacerbations and remissions.1 Recently, glycine receptor alpha 1 (GlyR) antibodies have been described in some adult patients with PERM and related disorders,2- 7 who generally had good outcomes if treated.2- 7 Herein, we present the first report of a child with severe PERM positive for GlyR antibodies.
A girl was born after an unremarkable gestation and delivery and had normal psychomotor development until age 14 months. Five days after a cold at the beginning of August 2010, she developed irritability, restless sleep, and sudden episodes of axial hyperextension, rigidity, and generalized myoclonus, mostly sensitive to auditory stimulus, without impairment of consciousness. These episodes occurred during wakefulness or sleep, lasted seconds, and were accompanied by moaning and tachypnea. Soon after, she developed laterocollis to the right, left hemifacial spasm, trismus, and urinary retention. She was admitted to her local hospital and an extensive investigation was conducted (Table 1). A provisional diagnosis of brainstem encephalitis or postinfectious condition was made and she was treated with intravenous (IV) acyclovir sodium, ceftriaxone sodium, clarithromycin, steroids, and immunoglobulins. Trismus that impaired feeding persisted, and later she developed an abnormal posture with both feet in plantar flexion as well as brisk deep tendon reflexes. The paroxysmal episodes and trismus slowly subsided and steroids were subsequently discontinued. By the end of August, off steroids, she had only abnormal posture of the left foot, could stand without assistance, and could walk a few steps with help.
In the middle of September, she had a herpetic gingivostomatitis, for which she started antiviral treatment. On the following day, trismus and the paroxysmal episodes reappeared and were more frequent and prolonged. Anticonvulsive drugs were started, without benefit, and she was transferred to our hospital. Examination at admission disclosed irritability, pyramidal signs, and paroxysmal episodes of severe hyperekplexia, generalized hyperextension with limb rigidity and myoclonus, uncoordinated eye movements on horizontal and vertical planes, and right hemifacial spasm. During the longer episodes, perioral cyanosis and peripheral oxygen desaturation developed but she never lost consciousness or exhibited clear somnolence afterward (
, segment 1). At this time, serum creatine phosphokinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels were elevated (Table 2). Despite vaccination, an atypical tetanus8 was considered and she was treated with antitetanus immunoglobulin, without benefit. Although mechanical ventilation was unnecessary, she was admitted to the intensive care unit for monitoring. Further extensive investigations were performed (Table 2), and GlyR antibodies were detected in her serum (titer, 1:200) and cerebrospinal fluid (titer, 1:2) (Figure); N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibodies were negative. A diagnosis of PERM was made. Short-term and long-term immunotherapy was started (IV immunoglobulin, 400 mg/kg/d for 5 days; IV methylprednisolone sodium succinate, 20 mg/kg/d for 5 days; and IV levetiracetam, 40 mg/kg/d). Levetiracetam was chosen because of the absence of improvement with clonazepam, intravenous route of administration, and good tolerability of the drug. After the second day of treatment with immunoglobulins, she steadily improved but had 2 episodes of urinary retention. The paroxysms disappeared 10 days after starting immunotherapy. At discharge when receiving oral prednisolone (2 mg/kg/d), she exhibited only right hemifacial spasm while crying and axial dystonia.
Figure. Clinical features, treatments, and glycine receptor alpha 1 (GlyR) antibody titers. A, Time course over 750 days of the disease. The peaks convey the relative severity of the relapses based on the number and severity of symptoms. The clinical presentation and first relapse were the most severe, with widespread rigidity, myoclonus, spinal cord and brainstem signs, and intermittent need for oxygen by mouth mask. The other 4 relapses were milder, ranging from segmental dystonia to limited stimulus-sensitive myoclonus and erratic ocular movements. The GlyR antibody levels are expressed as the highest serum (eg, 1:320 at peak) or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) (1:2) dilution that is positive. IV indicates intravenous; IVIg, IV immunoglobulins. B, Example of patient serum IgG, diluted 1:50 and detected with Alexa Fluor 568 antihuman IgG (red, middle panel) binding to the extracellular surface of live human embryonic kidney cells expressing GlyR subunit tagged with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) (green, left panel).2- 7 A merge of these 2 images is shown on the right.
The patient continued treatment with prednisolone and periodic sessions of treatment with IV immunoglobulins. She improved further (
, segment 2), but there were 4 more mild clinical recurrences (
, segment 3) associated with an infection, mild head trauma, reduction of steroid, or increase in the interval between immunoglobulins; each improved quickly after treatment adjustment. She is now receiving prednisolone (0.4 mg/kg/d) and IV immunoglobulins (every 4 weeks) and has no startle or other episodic symptoms. Her GlyR antibody titer in August 2012 was 1:60. She has perfect language comprehension but mild spoken language retardation and spends most of the day playing as expected for her age (
, segment 4).
This child had a neurological syndrome that fits within the spectrum of PERM and is associated with GlyR antibodies. The disease started acutely, had periods of exacerbation, and showed a clear response to steroids and other immunotherapies. The features ranged from mild segmental dystonia, auditory sensitive myoclonus and rigidity, and spinal cord and brainstem signs (ocular motor disturbance, hemifacial spasm) to episodes of widespread severe hyperekplexia, rigidity, and myoclonus that affected her respiratory function. The GlyR antibodies were present in serum and cerebrospinal fluid, and findings on additional neurological investigations were unremarkable. We believe this to be the first report of PERM in a child and the first in a child with GlyR antibodies. The presence of erratic eye movements and myoclonus initially raised the possibility of opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome,9 but the movements lacked the arrhythmic, chaotic, multidirectional saccades, without intersaccadic intervals characteristic of opsoclonus,9 in which GlyR antibodies were not found.7
In adult patients previously described,2- 7 GlyR antibody–positive PERM can present acutely or subacutely, show exacerbations on a chronic course, or have a more insidious onset. In each case, the potentially very severe clinical manifestations contrast with the unremarkable investigation findings. Indeed, in this patient, negative test results were very important to exclude tumors, infections or other forms of autoimmune encephalitis (eg, N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor antibody),10 or postinfectious inflammation such as disseminated demyelination.11 Even so, antiviral and antimicrobial therapies were given to reduce the risks of treating potentially undiagnosed infectious diseases with steroids. As already noted in adult patients2- 4,6,7 this child needed persistent immunotherapy to achieve a substantial improvement, and she still has some detectable serum GlyR antibodies. Therefore, close clinical and serological monitoring may be important and long-term immunosuppression may be required.
Progressive encephalomyelitis with rigidity and myoclonus represents a form of SPS with additional autonomic and brainstem features.1 To our knowledge, only 4 pediatric cases of SPS have been reported12- 15 but the age at onset and clinical features were variable, including axial and limb muscle involvement, trismus,12,15 blepharospasm, and life-threatening respiratory spasms.15 The clinical course varied between progressive13 and fluctuating.12,15 When stated, the best treatment was a high dose of diazepam.13- 15 One patient with trismus, blepharospasm, and respiratory spasms also had major improvement on steroids,15 and 3 patients12,14,15 had a good outcome. It is possible that these patients also had PERM with GlyR antibodies rather than typical SPS. The GlyR antibodies can be present in some patients with SPS, both with and without glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies.7,16
The presence of antibodies that bind extracellularly to GlyR on the surface of transfected cells (Figure) suggests an autoantibody-mediated disease17 that will respond well to immunotherapies. In PERM, in contrast to typical SPS, both respiratory and autonomic dysfunction may be present and not easily recognized, although they could have catastrophic consequences if not monitored closely and treated. Those manifestations may have contributed to a vegetative state or death in a few patients whose GlyR antibody–positive PERM had not been diagnosed and treated appropriately.4,5 This case study highlights the importance of recognizing this potentially severe but treatment-responsive disorder that can occur in children as well as in adults.

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is:
hyperglycemia >300 mg/dL - breakdown of body fat for energy - acummulation of ketones in blood and urine. Rapid onset.
Hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS) is:
hyperglycemia >600 mg/dL. - dehydration - absence of ketosis. Onset in several days.
DKA & HHNS result from sever HYPERglycemia from:
NOT enough insulin (new onset DM, lack of comliance DM treatment) and INCREASE NEED for insulin (stress, illness, infection, surgery, trauma)
signs & symptoms for both:
3P's - CHANGE MENTAL STATUS - signs of DEHYDRATION - kussmaul respirations (rapid and deep) - fruity breath (DKA/met.acid) -nausea / abd.pain (DKA) - seizures and revers.palarysis (HHNS)
nursing intervention - insulin
administer IV regular insulin (75 to 150 decrease) monitor level hourly.
nur. intervention - potassium
monitor serum potassium level. With insulin potassium shift into cells. Monitor for hypokalemia.
COMPLICATIONS: Rapid onset of hypoglycemia lead to:
hypokalemia, cerebral edema, fluid volume excess.
COMPLICATIONS: Renal failure:
hourly output < 30ml/hr - monitor hydration and renal function (I & O, creatinite levels)

Glenn Beck Is Leading Christians to Hell
Perhaps you remember Bill Keller, who calls himself "the world's leading internet evangelist," from his campaign during the 2008 GOP primary to make it known that anyone who voted for Mitt Romney was really voting for Satan.
Romney, you see, is a Mormon and Mormonism is a "cult founded by a murdering polygamist pedophile named Joseph Smith" and so any vote for Romney was a vote for Satan.
You know who is also a Mormon? Glenn Beck.
And so Keller is back to warn all those Christians who have been flocking to Beck that his false religion is leading them all to Hell:
Keller states, "Beck likes to call out people for their lies and deception, yet he portrays himself daily as a Christian. The fact is, the beliefs of the satanic Mormon cult are totally inconsistent with Biblical Christianity. He uses the words "god" and "jesus," yet the god and jesus of the Mormon cult are NOT the God and Jesus of the Bible!"
Keller continues, "The 'god' of the Mormon cult used to be a human who rose to god-like status, just like Beck and all Mormons believe they will too after their death. The 'jesus' of the Mormon cult is the natural offspring of their 'god' Elohim who had sex with Mary, meaning their jesus is a created being and NOT a deity as the Bible teaches, and is the brother of Lucifer."
Keller concludes, "I could care less what Beck chooses to believe, but I do care that he lies to people by stating he is a Christian when a person who believes in the lies of the Mormon cult is no more a Christian than a Muslim is. Most appalling are prominent Christians who have sold out the faith to associate with Beck, more worried about what financial gain they will get from that association than helping him lead ignorant souls to hell for following his cult's beliefs."

I have a DEC 3000/300X, and it is giving an "Unexpected interrupt"
message when booting and when attempting to use "SHOW CONFIG". "T NVR"
in SRM fails with a 400 (interrupt test failed) error code. All the
other tests appear to pass. The error appeared when I took one of the
SIMMs out to try to see the part number. Some of the contacts on the
SIMM must not have been connected (the contacts appeared rather
dirty), and it didn't boot (and the diagnostic lights displayed a few
codes, and then just started flickering randomly). I did eventually
get it to boot, but with the error that I described. Is there any way
to fix the error other than replacing the motherboard? Could the
problem be solved by replacing the NVRAM chip?

Mercyhurst art show transforms school
Mercyhurst University's Old Main was built to be beautiful.
The Sisters of Mercy recruited a Philadelphia architect to design the English Gothic campus landmark in hopes of realizing the first president's vision: To establish the school as a "beauty spot in the diocese of Erie."
By the time Mary Gamble's husband, Tom Gamble, took over as president of the Erie school, though, a drabber aesthetic had crept in, Mary Gamble said.
Institutional green paint coated the walls. Ugly, serviceable plastic furniture lined an alcove. The State Dining Room's heavy drapes, wallpaper and carpeting shrouded the room's potential, she said.
"The guts of the building are beautiful. Over the years, it had just been ignored," Gamble said.
Gamble's artist friend, Barry Levin, noticed. At a party celebrating Tom Gamble's election in 2005, Levin told Mary he would give her some of his art if only she would hang it on the walls.
"You have got to do something, Mary," she remembers him saying.
That conversation between Gamble, 62, and the late Levin sparked an art show, Friends of Mercyhurst, now in its seventh year. The program not only each year brings Old Main's heavily traveled hallways to life with objects of color, insight, texture, wit and contemplation, it is fast on its way, Gamble said, to making Mercyhurst home to the area's largest collection of regional art.
Each year, about one-third of the dozens of artists who take part in the art show donate the work to the school.
The collection, which stood at more than 200 pieces after the 2011 show, has grown so large it is spilling onto Mercyhurst's other facilities, including Mercyhurst's North East campus and its performing arts center.
"At some point in time, 20, 50, 100 years from now, if the collection continues to grow, people can look back and see Erie was an artists' community," Gamble said.
She said the show's artists -- all of whom have some tie to Mercyhurst -- seem eager to donate in part because of how their contributions are managed.
She said too often art collections wind up socked away in storerooms or private offices.
Gamble, who has become the school's de facto curator, tries to ensure the donations the school receives are placed where the public and the Mercyhurst community can enjoy them.
"We have turned Old Main into a gallery," she said. "The artists can say to friends, 'Go up to Mercyhurst. My art is there.'"
The art really is everywhere.
In the State Dining Room, where the university president entertains important guests, the old carpeting has been torn up and the original wood floors and light fixtures have been restored.
There is no place for the eye to land in the room that is not filled with some kind of object of imagination and beauty, including landscapes and pottery and sculpture and bronze pieces.
Gamble said she would have earned an art history degree if Gannon University had offered one while she was there. She soaked up as much art education as she could and has worked in her own ad agency. She sits on the Erie Art Museum board of directors. Her son is earning his master's degree in fine arts.
But she knows not everyone has a chance to visit museums or get to know artists.
She hopes the growing Mercyhurst collection helps students and the community develop an appreciation for the arts.
At least one student has told her she chose Mercyhurst over other schools because of the wealth of art on display.
This year's art show, which can be seen during business hours in the halls of Old Main, runs through March 30. It is bigger than ever and, Gamble said, features an abundance of highly educated artists, including faculty and alumni, a maintenance employee and woodworker, even the university fire chief, Richard P. Sadlier, who also studied art, Gamble said.
Pennsylvania's Governor's Artist of the Year, Susan Kemenyffy, created a contemplative mixed media installation, Raku Place: The Bamboo Rock, in an alcove.
One of the more playful entries is Abigail Adams Greenway's fanciful portrait of Erie Art Museum Director John Vanco that includes a rendering of his storied beard made up in long curling strands of Spanish moss. "May Your Reign Be As Long As Your Beard" it is called.
"The whole thing is an act of faith," Gamble said. "We ask people to be in the show and we really do have faith they will make it work. They always do and it is always beautiful stuff."

There is some steep uphill but as a whole this is a great hike. There are lots of things to do here from fishing, swimming and hiking to camping and picnics. It's a nice little gem not to far out of the way. I hope you enjoy. See you on the trail!!!

My wife and I along with our 7 year old daughter hiked this short trail over, after a few hours of fishing on the lake there. It was a nice hike, much of it along a small meandering stream. Just down hill from a small waterfall are the ruins of some kind of structure. Only three sets of stacked stones remain, all 4' to 8' tall, that may have been the foundation of a house or cabin. I'd sure like to know more about what was once there. If anyone knows, please let me know.
Reviewed by Lisa on 9/24/2007
This was an especially nice hike for me. I am only 2 months out from a total knee replacement and take pride in the fact that I was able to hike this moderate trail so soon after my surgery. I would definitely take this hike again as I feel like there was probably a lot that I missed due to watching where my feet were going! LOL I was surprised at finding a cigarette butt left on the trail and a couple of plastic cups left behind by ignorant people. Come on people! It takes millions of years for one of your nasty cigarette butts to break down naturally. Overall, this is a great way to spend an afternoon. Nice, short hike and beautiful scenery.

The New York Knicks knew coming into the 2011-2012 season that they would have to bolster their point guard position in order to be a legitimate contender in the Eastern Conference with teams like the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls and Boston Celtics.
When the Knicks extended Chauncey Billups before the lockout, it allowed for some time to improve at that position while they went out and drafted Georgia Tech guard Iman Shumpert, possibly to fill the void if Billups left following the 2011-2012 season.
That all changed when the Knicks decided to use their amnesty clause and waive Billups in order to bring in defensive standout Tyson Chandler to fill the center position.
Now it appears to be a scramble as the Knicks try to find someone fill the hole left by Billups, either to start or at the backup behind Toney Douglas—a young guard who has proven to be better suited for the two guard position than the point.
With a handful of guys still waiting to be signed, the Knicks have a number of ways they can go to fill that hole, but there is a notable gap between the top free agents and the rest of the pack.
Here's a look at five point guards the Knicks should consider before heading into the regular season.

The difference between simple elite & business elite, in my opinion however unpopular
Ok, 2 elite fighters. Floyd Mayweather & Andre Ward. Both are indeed elite fighters & both are very good. But there is an obvious difference between the 2 fighters. Floyd is business elite & Ward is simply elite.
Right now there are rumors that Floyd may be fighting Amir Kahn at 147. Most Floyd fans & probably fight fans in general seem ok with this fight. But the fact is that Khan has not ever fought at 147 & there are fighters that deserve a fight with Floyd more than he does & those fighters probably will never be considered opponents for Floyd because they do not draw.
Meanwhile Ward will be fighting Dawson next Dawson is the recognized best fighter at 175. Yes they are fighting at 168, but the fight is between the 2 best fighters of there respective weight classes. There are some that call the fight boring. There are some that say the fight does not deserve it's 1 show 24/7. But this fight is between the 2 best fighters of a weight class separated by a weight class.
It is relatively safe to assume, or presume that you cannot say that there is a better fighter at 168 than Dawson. In stark contrast you cannot say the same about Khan at 147. There are fighters there right now ranked higher, with better welterweight wins over an undeserving Khan.
The difference between Ward & Floyd is that Floyd can fight whoever & put it on ppv, while Ward has to struggle to get draws, even if he's fighting the best fighters in the world. And for some reason, pfp will see Floyd as the better fighter even if it is Ward that's fighting the better fighters of the 2.

1. Floyd and Ward are at different points in their careers.
2. Your view of the ward/dawson is slanted to fit your agenda. Ward is fighting Dawson because HBO is trying to build the next great US superstar. This is a money fight for both. Both fighters have good opponenets at their respective weights.
3. Floyd can't fight whoever on ppv. He has to sell his usual numbers. Its like Jayz talking about selling 5 mil and no longer being able to put out music like Common.
Ward doesn't have that pressure on him. Ward can fight anyone he wants in Oakland because he sells there.
I agree there are ww fighters who would seem to pose more of a threat. But who? You didn't mention anyone.
Those that see floyd as p4p #1 do so based on his career to this point. In their last few fights, ward has fought better fighters. But if we go back the last 15 fights, well its not a discussion. But lately its been ward.
I think you have some valid points but you forget that no matter what era, the bottom line in boxing has always been making money. It used to be just asses in seats. Then TV ratings were added. Now its those and ppv sales. The guys that sell the most have more choice and control over their opponents.
But that control, in floyd's case, was earned through fighting tough fights on the way up and taking full advantage of the ODH opportunity.

Floyd and Pacquiao can fight all the 140 pounders they want. Floyd isn't that big. And who exactly at 147 is more deservering than khan? Looking at the ring 147 pound rankings, I see Kell Brook, Malignaggi, Zavck, Baily, Lopez, Aydin. Really? You rather see Floyd fight those guys over Khan? Bradley isn't going to happen because of Top Rank.

It is only 1 ELITE FIGHTER in boxing today...that is Floyd Mayweather...the rest are GOOD but has so many FLAWS
Ward has ELITE POTENTIAL, at good win over Dawson would really put him up their and that puts him Top 3 P4P with NO ARGUMENT available for even his HATERS
ELITE to me is fighters who are COMPLETE! Can basically DO IT ALL IN THE RING...don't label a fighter ELITE when he has no fukin defense, can't fight inside to save his life and can't even make adjustments during the fight, can't cut the ring off and keeps getting caught with the same damn punch for 12 Rounds
Chad Dawson is another guy I think has Elite Abilities in the Ring, it is nothing he can't do PHYSICALLY, but sometimes he seems to go off track a little Mentally and take rounds off especially when he is clearly dominating, instead of keeping his foot on the Gas Peddle and going for the Finish, but he can fight inside, outside, can cut the ring off, has a jab, has excellent reflex, and good defense
Call me Bias but I think Rigondeaux has that Ability as well, as does Chemito Moreno...basically a lot of the guys who the Dumb Casuals think are "BORING" lol

Raymond Siller: Here's Johnny—the Campaign Oracle
In three presidential elections in a row, the 'Tonight Show' studio audience outdid pollsters in predicting the winner.
In mid-September 1980, following the two presidential conventions, Ronald Reagan trailed President Jimmy Carter in national polls, 44% to 40%. At the time, I was head writer for Johnny Carson's "Tonight Show."
Johnny held strong political opinions but never divulged them to viewers. He felt his mission was to entertain, not proselytize. He parked his personal views in the on-deck circle before blowing through the curtains, planting his feet on his monologue mark, and skewering whoever was in power.
By October, Gallup had the president up 47% to 39%. But America was experiencing sky-high interest rates, long gas lines and the Iran hostage crisis—and Mr. Carter's significant lead in the polls made zero sense to me. I persuaded Johnny to conduct a presidential poll of his studio audience.
We got NBC's props department to dust off an old applause meter. The late-night king played it straight, asking the 500 members of that night's audience to signal by their applause which candidate they planned to vote for in November. None who came to the show expected to be asked, and because the house lights were down, there was no peer pressure from their seated neighbors.
Johnny said, "How many of you will be voting for President Carter?" The meter's needle moved to the 30% mark. When he said, "Now how many will vote for Ronald Reagan?" the needle rocketed to 100% so fast I thought it would go airborne over the fat kid on the roof of the Burbank Bob's Big Boy.
After the show, backstage, Johnny was stunned by the results. His audience had defied Gallup and the other polling organizations of the day. We took the same poll the next week with similar results, a landslide for Reagan. On Election Day, Reagan won by 10 points.
Pundits will maintain that it was Reagan's "There you go again" debate zinger in October that handed the Gipper the White House keys. Reagan's debate performance certainly helped clinch a win. But there was a gnawing unhappiness in the electorate that all the polls missed. Jimmy Carter was toast long before their debate dust-up.
We conducted the same exercise twice in the fall of 1984 when Reagan's challenger was Walter Mondale. Our audience again chose Reagan by a wide margin, even though the polls suggested that the results would be otherwise.
Following the 1988 Democratic convention, Michael Dukakis held a 17-point advantage over Vice President George H.W. Bush. Yet our audience sampling picked Bush as the clear victor. The vice president ended up winning handily by eight points.
My feeling is that Johnny's studio audience, made up mainly of tourists from around the country, was as mainstream a group of typical American voters as one could assemble.
Johnny Carson's experiment bucked the pollsters and picked the winners in three presidential contests. If we postulate that studio audiences reflect the views of the host, Jay Leno's audience probably comes closest to representing the average voter. A Leno monologue attacks both sides evenly without signaling the comedian's personal preference. If Jay dusts off the primitive applause meter warehoused on NBC's back lot, we might not have to wait until next week to find out who the next president will be.
Mr. Siller was the longtime head writer on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson."

• Objective.
—To study the hypothesis that ingestion of a modified soy-based formula with an improved mineral suspension system may result in bone mineral content similar to that observed in infants fed human milk or cow milk-based formulas.
—Prospective, self-selected group of infants fed human milk randomized between the two formula-fed groups.
—University-based hospital nursery and follow-up.
—Fifty-six normal, healthy, full-term infants, free of major malformations or disorders, including 17 infants fed human milk, 19 infants fed a cow milk—based formula, and 20 infants fed a soy protein formula were followed up to 6 months' postnatal age. The soy-based formula studied was modified to improve the suspendability of the minerals.
—Infants were fed human milk or the study formula for the first 4 months, at which time beikost was permitted. Infants fed human milk received vitamin supplementation to provide 400 IU of vitamin D per day.
—Anthropometric variables, serum calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, and parathyroid hormone levels were measured at enrollment, and at 8,16, and 24 to 26 weeks' postnatal age. Bone mineral content at the distal third radius site was measured with single photon absorptiometry at these times. Growth in the infants did not differ significantly among the groups. There was no significant difference in serum calcium, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase, or parathyroid hormone concentrations among the infants during the study. Serum phosphorus was significantly lower at 8 weeks in the group fed human milk than in that fed the cow milk—based formula. Bone mineral content at 16 and 24 to 26 weeks was higher in the group fed the soy-based formula than in that fed human milk, and bone width was also higher at 16 weeks in the infants fed the soy-based formula.
—Improving the suspendability of the mineral system in the soy formula results in bone mineralization in infants fed the soy-based formula similar to that measured in infants fed human milk and cow milk—based formula. We suggest that the suspendability of the minerals used is an important variable in the interpretation of the effect of feedings on the bone mineral status of infants.(AJDC. 1992;146:1302-1305)

Two journalists in Jordan having a televised debate about the civil war in neighboring Syria literally turned — and overturned — the table on each other during an on-air brawl. The speakers broke apart the studio's table they had been seated in an attempt to fight each other.
The program aired Tuesday on the "Seven Stars" satellite television channel. It featured journalists Shaker al-Johari and Mohammad al-Jayousi talking about the 3-year-old war pitting rebels against President Bashar Assad's government, a conflict activists say has killed more than 150,000 people.
However, the debate fell apart as al-Jayousi accused al-Johari of supporting the Syrian rebels. Al-Johari then accused al-Jayousi of taking money for supporting Assad. The two men fought each other and pulled the table apart in their scuffle.

HACKENSACK — Republicans in Bergen County have seized onto the news that the former chairman of the Bergen County Democratic Organization has been indicted on new federal racketeering charges, issuing a statement Friday highlighting connections between Joseph A. Ferriero and the party's current slate of candidates.
Ferriero, who faces up to 70 years in prison, had been head of the Bergen Democrats for more than a decade, and has "deep ties" to Democrats looking to win county positions in November, the Republicans said.
"It should be clear to everyone in Bergen County that the web of deceit and corruption Joe Ferriero spent years building at every level of local and county government won't go away overnight," Freeholder John Felice, a Republican up for reelection this year, said in the statement. "The taxpayers of Bergen County can't take a chance of going back to the kind of government they received under the Ferriero machine."
In particular, the Republicans singled out freeholder candidate James Tedesco, a former Paramus mayor, for working alongside Ferriero codefendant Dennis Oury, who served as borough attorney for a host of Bergen County towns, including Paramus. Oury pleaded guilty to federal corruption charges in 2009. Sheriff candidate James Mordaga was public safety director under County Executive Dennis McNerney, a Democrat who ran the county while Ferriero was party boss, they pointed out.
But Matt Rose, the director of the Bergen County Democratic Committee, said Friday that the Republicans were "attempting to tarnish honest hardworking people through six degrees of separation."
"Any allegations made against the former chairman are for him to address," Rose said in an e-mail to NJ.com. "Democrats in Bergen County remain focused on fighting for issues that will move our county, state and country in the right direction."
Rose said the Bergen GOP "should be more concerned with corruption within their own party," including criminal charges faced by Assemblyman Robert Schroeder, controversies surrounding County Executive Kathleen Donovan's former campaign manager Alan Marcus and accusations of misconduct between the Bergen County Police Department and Sheriff's Office.
The two parties will be wrangling over three slots on the freeholder board, all of them occupied by Republicans seeking reelection, this November. Democrats won control of the board last election season, and currently hold a four-to-three majority. Sheriff Michael Saudino, a Republican, is also up for reelection this year.
The Democrats say voters in November will be paying attention to more recent scandals, while Republicans held that their opponents can't escape Ferriero's legacy.
"Joe Ferriero controlled too many politicians, too many contracts and too much of our government, all of it costing taxpayers more," Republican Freeholder Maura DeNicola said in the GOP statement. "When Republicans took over the Board of Freeholders, we turned back the clock on his years of control and delivered a budget that cut spending and didn't raise property taxes."
Rose countered that when they held the majority, Republicans "failed to deliver on police consolidation, cut $5 million from higher education funding and cut another $1 million from the county schools."
