Quality test analysis shows Apple iPhone 5 display beating out the Samsung Galaxy S III
0. phoneArena 24 Sep 2012, 13:44 posted on
An analysis of the displays on the Apple iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S III by DisplayMate gives the edge to the recently released 4 inch screen on the iPhone; the company says that Samsung's OLED technology has yet to be refined to the same degree as LCD screens have...

I've owned half a dozen AMOLED Samsung phones because everyone said they were the shiz. Then I started buying IPS LCD phonese and tablets. I'm not going back. Even PLS looks better.

no one is talking about the HOX Screen that beats them both
29. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
And I believe that LG Optimus G display or maybe even LG's NOVA display beats them all. ;)

do you have a link to the review of the onex's screen?
45. bigstrudel (Posts: 518; Member since: 20 Aug 2012)
You really have to see it in person. Put it side by side with any phone in the store and I guarantee that the One X will be the most eye catching display among them.
73. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
I owned a One X. The screen is not as magical as people claim it is. The contrast isn't that high and the overly warm yellow skew makes it a sleepy display.
96. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
I owned a Evo 4g LTE and I do not see a warm yellow skew in it. The cool contrast is very high compare to other LCD.
114. bigstrudel (Posts: 518; Member since: 20 Aug 2012)
Yeah I'm not sure what you're talking about with the yellow tint. My One X has brilliant true whites with good contrast.
115. darkskoliro (Posts: 1076; Member since: 07 May 2012)
I have seen the one x in person :)) Its brilliant.

1st of all its an LG screen. And how dare you compare the SIII's screen to the iPhone 5's flickering, unresponsive, and yellowish screen. All you have to do is go on utube and search for iphone 5 problem, and hundreds of unsatisfied owners you ll find. There is one video where the screen is so responsive to the point that you dont need to get close to the phone, and another where floating your finger near the screen will dothe job. iPhonearena should stop trolling

"All you have to do is go on utube and search for iphone 5 problem, and hundreds of unsatisfied owners you ll find."
Agree! And such situation is after such short time after release, then what will happen for example after month or few...
74. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Wow you just ignored a scientific article by a display calibration professional for hearsay on the interwebs? Even more sad that you are deliberately trying to find only defective iPhone screens to make comparison with. The article states how close to sRGB the iPhone 5 is and how skewed and tinted the S III panel is. Neither are defective units. Samsung's AMOLED displays have an even higher inconsistency rate, since it is still a new technology and Samsung is the only one producing them. A "normal" AMOLED panel has a high chance of having a strong tint, splotches and lines, black clipping, and guaranteed to be very color inaccurate. These are for ALL displays, not just the defective one. I've owned half a dozen AMOLED phones from Samsung and every owner experiences these issues, whether it bothers them or not. They are "features" of AMOLED panels.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but when resolutions and screen technology get to a certain level can you actually tell any difference with the human eye? These were lab tests, are there noticeable differences in the real world?
35. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
In some cases yes and in some cases no, because talking about displays there is a lot parameters which can be compared.
75. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Yes there are. The lab tests are just used to prove concretely the improvements as opposed to just "eyeing" it, which can be subjective and inconsistent. The brightness difference will make a huge impact outdoors, or blind you indoors if you turn it up. Either way, you will see the difference. The color difference is noticeable to, especially against something as gaudy and overesaturated as AMOLED. The lower reflection is also very noticeable, maybe hardber between iPhone iterations, but very noticeable against a cheaper or lesser phone. Just holding a phone up against a light and watching the glare shimmer along it. The better display will have a duller glare that can be seen through. The more reflective display will have a brighter, more opaque glare that covers up the screen.

Well, good morning America! But of course it is better. Since iPhone 4 there is no phone with a better display. Did you expect that iPhone 5 would be any different?! Jesus...
43. bigstrudel (Posts: 518; Member since: 20 Aug 2012)
The Galaxy S3 has the worst display of the high end android offerings. Its a convenient comparison for the the IPhone. Would be a different story against One X and other non Pentile 720 p displays out there.
47. ap1989 (Posts: 145; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
i sure the person who rated this is someone who waited in line to get the iphone 5
77. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Also a PhD in physics and computer science with his own display calibration company. Not your typical barista.
49. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Of course it's a better quality display..no surprise there.
It's basically a HTC one type of screen with in cell on top.
BUT it also happens to be comparatively tiny, so the quality means jack to me.
Btw I'm fairly disappointed with the S3' display, compared it carefully with my old xperia arc side by side, and it had really inferior white reproduction and brightness.
Even turned out slightly less sharp compared to 854x480 screen of the Arc, to my great surprise.
Pen tile is clearly evident - I can see pixels easily.
That being said it's still a great screen overall- superior blacks, viewing angles and reflectivity.
53. dmn666 (Posts: 244; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
Pentile is clearly visible on 720p display - at least you were able to see it unlike our blind resident fanboys - Kudos to your eyes :P.
Btw, Arc really has an amazing display. Amoled white levels are horrible. You get true black but that's it. I'd take better LCD white as browser is my app. I put an HTC One X next to a GS3 with browsers open and I was disgusted by dim white levels of GS3 display. So I had to go with HOX. Xperia Ion also has very nice display but HOX has better viewing angles. Hopefully Sony will do something better with Xperia V.
62. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Browser is my app too, and I compared the white performance the same way you did, but there's a catch - you can take the whites off the picture literary, by using night modes or inverted view on browsers such as maxthon and UC- I've actually discovered the night mode on maxthon to be really great visually, and more pleasant for use even during the day.
But that's not even the main point - the main point is that amoled screens should provide one heluva long browsing session that way, given their power efficiency with video reproduction.
If S3 can run video for 10 hours, the promise looks really great.
63. dmn666 (Posts: 244; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
Haha - that's one way to go. But inverted view is not my thing - good old black prints on white background pages - that's what I like.
84. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Inverted browsing is awesome. I prefer it just because its a lot less eye strain. All my ebooks are inverted when possible for the same reason.
And yea, you can get massive battery improvements that way with Amoled. One of my tricks to get 2+ day battery life on my SGS1. :)
85. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
so clearly visible that I dont remember a single phone review that said "wow look at that pentile".
In fact, i remember most of them saying "you cant tell the difference at all anymore for 99% of uses"
50. Iphone4 (unregistered)
iphone 5 is best phone ever but s3 come very close
51. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
excuse me how does the iphone have better contrast ratios when Amoled screens have INFINITE CONTRAST RATIOS since the pixel turns off completely instead of going to a dark grey like LCDs.
Cant take much seriously if they cant get the basics right.
78. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
What are you reading? It has better contrast than the iPhone 4/4S, not the S III. Even the charts in the article say its infinite, if you bothered to read it. I'll take the world of a display calibration professional with a PhD over someone with a grudge against red colored fruits.
97. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
It is not infinite because you can't make a ratio with zero as a value. You have to give black a value in order to have ratio. And if you know anything about LCD you would know that the pixel is turn off in an LCD too and is not dark grey. The reason why there is a grey color is that a LCD panel has a backlight in other to see the color. No one will take you seriously if you don't even know that.
99. CamaroSS (Posts: 173; Member since: 24 Jul 2012)
Right on, mate. Infinite contrast is a gimmick. 1/0 and 10000/0 both will be rated infinite contrast by display makers because it hides white level. True metric would be separate white and black levels and amoleds have horrible white levels compared to LCDs.
105. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
That's right.
This problem of dividing with zero was evetually solved in a community, because it doesn't make any sense. AMOLED displays still have the great contrast, but now LCD tech is pretty comparable. It also has to be taken in consideration absolute brightness, where AMOLEDs are usually inferior, they just have the mathematically larger contrast because of zero value blacks.
55. som (Posts: 768; Member since: 10 Nov 2009)
I have Galaxy S3 is not bright display as iPhone 5 in direct sun but it is fine indoor. I hate rotten Apple CEO lawsuits to ban Galaxy S3 sale in America. Apple won lawsuits and ban sale of Samsung phones is very cruel and unfair trial in America.
61. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Try Sony XPERIA P in Sunlight :)
79. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
You know Samsung is doing the same thing by suing Apple right?
59. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Read more about "Display Myths" before digesting that "Retina display" crap which was nothing but a well managed "intentional/wilfull" lie (one o0f many from SJ) for marketing only. Perhaps a good term just for patenting and nothing more ...
le/features/display_myths_shat tered
80. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
It's such a lie that every other manufacturer is rushing to claim their new flagship phones as having over 300ppi. It's also such a lie that a PhD with his own display calibration company says its the best display on a smartphone to date. They must all be brainwashed and iSheep! Samsung included!
91. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
Didn;t some consultant w/o a website got paid 70000 bucks juist for testimony on behalf of apple? Money taks and research data can be manipulated and skewed as always just like Ancel keys did decades ago :)
98. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
Did he compare it to any other display in the market, I don't see it anywhere so how is it the best when it is only compare to 1 other phone. Retina is not a display tech. It is just high pixel density. The iPad 3 retina display is way less then 300 ppi
106. Hemlocke (unregistered)
It's also a 9.7" screen that you hold further from your face.
64. BattleBrat (Posts: 1458; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Watch "Star Trek" (the new one) on a RAZR, you will not have ANY complaints about the color accuracy or the penta pixel display...
83. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Star Trek isn't very colorful. The 4.3" Razr display, which is penTile AMOLED, is also known as one of the worst AMOLED displays around, for color reproduction and quality in general. It's super gaudy and dim.
65. SemperFiV12 (Posts: 944; Member since: 09 Nov 2010)
Really would love to see the GSIII, replaced by the Lumia 920... see how ip5 fares then.
81. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
When that phone actually comes out, SURE. But then the iPhone 6 will be out with who knows what.
82. CamaroSS (Posts: 173; Member since: 24 Jul 2012)
LOL - how's this a news? gs3 display doesn't even compare to HOX SLCD2 - horrible white, low brightness, exaggerated cartoonish colors, and pentile straight from the museum. It'd be more interesting to see a comparison between retina and slcd2/lumia display.
88. rudlie (Posts: 205; Member since: 13 Mar 2012)
the display technology of samsung is not better over than 2 years ago display technology hahahaha.
112. sgogeta4 (Posts: 394; Member since: 02 Feb 2011)
You're an idiot with no basis for your comment. While AMOLED is definitely not up to the level of IPS, IPS is definitely nearing the limits of technological advancements. I wonder what will happen with the iPhone in a few years when AMOLED exceeds IPS in the above categories...
89. Richie458 (Posts: 1; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
Really all this is nit picking for geeks. The top smartphones have more than adequate displays that'll keep 99% of the population happy. I'm perfectly happy with the display on my S3. I love the size of it too.
93. Nadr1212 (Posts: 741; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
In the 1st sentence it says edge, kinda like how the iPhones edge shows light leaks
This is just LOLness right here, and a bit of insultment
100. predator93 (Posts: 122; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
Even though iam an ips lcd user (optimus black), I wouldn't mind having deeper black levels. And many people I know prefer oled over other form of displays mainly due to the saturation of colours. If someone manages to fuse both technologies into one (deep black levels of oled, colours and viewing angles of ips lcd), i would be really happy.
101. BomberXL (Posts: 82; Member since: 17 Jan 2012)
"the Two hottest smartphones on earth" ... yeah, my friends iphone 5 gets pretty damn hot after a long while of use... doesnt seem safe. i mean is there any way they could fix that without sueing anyone?
102. nightmare (Posts: 28; Member since: 25 Nov 2011)
Hold up! Are they trying to imply that the iphone 4 screen is better than the galaxy s3 screen!!!WTF
104. rizevnarastek (Posts: 347; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
The HTC One X beats them all hands down... but let 920 prove itself :D
107. jroshan5 (Posts: 1; Member since: 25 Sep 2012)
My Xperia s will do better than both of these,
Who cares about showing the phone to the a 3rd party person, I never tried to read anything on my iPhone 4S from a angle as long as I had it
Even it's brighter than the iPhone or galaxy s3 in direct sunlight .........
110. jbjr43 (Posts: 50; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
Yep. Look to the left.
117. romeo1 (Posts: 718; Member since: 06 Jan 2012)
i can't understand how the iphone 5 could be better at showing pictures and videos with its resolution?
to me that is one of the biggest reason not to buy the phone as i watch allot of movies on mine

El Pasoans Urged to Get Flu Shot Ahead of Season
Public Health
PASO, Texas – The City of El Paso Department of Public Health (DPH) is joining other cities across the Lone Star State to commemorate Texas Influenza Awareness Day on October 1. As the number of flu cases in our area begins to pick up steam, officials want to make sure that everyone six months old and older gets vaccinated to protect themselves from getting the flu.
Fourth West Nile Case Reported in El Paso Area
Public Health
EL PASO, Texas – A fourth case of West Nile virus has been reported to the City of El Paso Department of Public Health. The patient is a man in his 30's who lives in the Lower Valley. The case comes as El Paso continues to see rainy weather conditions which can create breeding conditions for the mosquitoes that carry the disease. This is why health officials continue to urge residents to take personal measures to remove standing water outside their homes.
Second travel-related case of Zika serves as a reminder for those visiting affected areas
Public Health
EL PASO, Texas - The City of El Paso Department of Public Health (DPH) announced today the confirmation of the second travel-related case of Zika virus in the area. A non-pregnant woman tested positive for the virus following travel to Puerto Rico. The island has been identified as a Zika affected area where active mosquito transmission of Zika is currently taking place. "This individual spent a week in this affected area and started showing symptoms shortly after returning to El Paso on August 17th," said Robert Resendes, Public Health Director. "This person has since self-isolated, but this latest case is another reminder to the community to protect themselves, especially when traveling to highly affected areas."
West Nile Cases Total 3 So Far this Season
Public Health
EL PASO, Texas – While the City of El Paso Department of Public Health continues to remind residents that preventing mosquito bites can help prevent the Zika virus, officials announced another case of West Nile virus in the area. The patient is a man in his early 40's who lives in San Elizario. He is currently recovering from the neuro-invasive form of the disease. "We know that less than one percent of those infected will develop this more serious form of the disease," said Fernando Gonzalez, Lead Epidemiologist. "But we need to remember that there is the possibility of developing a serious neurologic illness such as encephalitis or meningitis" (inflammation of the brain or surrounding tissues).

Syracuse, NY - Rep. Dan Maffei, D-DeWitt, has been traveling in Afghanistan with a small congressional delegation on a fact-finding mission.
The group, which includes New York congressmen Steve Israel, D-Huntingdon, Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo, and others, urged Afghan President Hamid Karzai in a meeting Monday to delay the country's parliamentary vote until electoral reforms are in place, according to The Associated Press. Karzai insisted the elections must be held in May despite concerns about voter fraud in the Afghan presidential election in August.
Earlier this month, Maffei said there is very shallow support in his district for continuing the war in Afghanistan and he questioned whether it was vital to our national interests.
Maffei, who landed in Afghanistan over the weekend, plans to return Monday morning to Syracuse, according to his staff.

Econometric Evidence in EU Competition Law: An Empirical and Theoretical Analysis

CLES Research Paper series 06/12
Competition authorities and litigants worldwide have increased the use of economic quantitative methods and economic expert witnesses as a means to produce and support evidence in merger and antitrust cases. The application of quantitative techniques to antitrust has arisen naturally from the need to answer the central questions of antitrust analysis, such as, market definition and market structure issues, analysis of pricing and non-pricing behaviour by firms, quantification of damages and efficiencies and dynamic issues of entry and product reallocation. The paper aims, on the one hand, to briefly describe the main aspects of the most commonly used quantitative techniques in antitrust analysis, and on the other hand, to quantify their use in EU merger and antitrust decisions from 2004 until 2011. Moreover, we also codify the Commission's opinion on the techniques utilized. The paper then explores the substantive law framework for the assessment and evaluation of this quantitative evidence in EU competition law by the European Commission and the Courts, in particular topics relating to the standard of proof and evidential cogency and the interaction between the different concepts of causation in law and econometrics, whereas Section 5 provides a unique empirical analysis of the probative value of different kinds of econometric evidence, by performing for the first time a quantitative analysis of the opinion of the European Commission for the particular techniques used and their average evidential weight.

Midna (pronounced /ˈmɪdnə/ MID-nə),[2] the Twilight Princess,[3] is a main character in Twilight Princess. She is a resident of the Twilight Realm and a descendant of the ancient Twili people.[4] At first she seems to be a strange, dark creature with an agenda of her own and little regard for Link,[5] but she ends up changing her attitude towards those who are willing to help her.[6]

Midna is one of the Twili, a race descended from wielders of powerful and evil magic who were banished to an alternate dimension by the goddesses Din, Farore, and Nayru after an event known as the Interloper War.[4][7] This alternate dimension, out of which the sublimated descendants could only exist as shadows, eventually became known as the Twilight Realm.[8]
Prior to the events of Twilight Princess, Zant, one of the Twili, overthrew Midna from her throne and placed a curse on her, giving her the imp form that she maintains for most of the game and depriving her of the magical powers that are granted to the leader of the Twili.[1][9] Midna, already in possession of a Fused Shadow, leaves the Twilight Realm and witnesses Link as a wolf being taken away by a Shadow Beast.[10] Knowing the Twili legend that the Hero would appear as a "divine beast," Midna follows Link to his prison cell in the Castle Town Sewers and tells him she'll help him escape if Link does exactly as he's told.[11] The pair eventually exit the sewers and go to a tower in Hyrule Castle to meet with Princess Zelda, who Midna mockingly calls "Twilight Princess" and blames for Hyrule's current state.[12]
After the meeting with Zelda, Midna reminds Link that he must still save Ilia and the rest of the Ordon children that were kidnapped, saying that she'll be happy to help the young hero if he acts like her "servant."[13] Once Link finds the first Fused Shadow in the Forest Temple, Midna reveals that was the item that she was looking for, but refuses to tell Link their exact purpose or what she plans to do with them.[14] The power of the Fused Shadows can be used to destroy Zant, returning Midna and the other Twili to their true form.[15] Midna does not tell Link, however, that she wants the Fused Shadows for the benefit of herself and her world.
Upon collecting all Fused Shadows, Zant confronts Link and Midna in the Lanayru Spring and easily takes the Fused Shadows from them. He then tries to persuade Midna to join his side, but after she refuses, he holds her up in front of the Light Spirit Lanayru, who gravely injures Midna by overexposing her to its light. With Link now once again as a wolf and Midna nearing death, the young hero takes her to Princess Zelda in Hyrule Castle.[16][17] The dying Midna, no longer caring for her sake, asks that Zelda tell Link how to break his curse since he is the only one who can defeat Zant.[18] As a last request, Midna pleads to Zelda to inform Link where he can find the Mirror of Twilight.[19] Zelda, realizing who Midna really is and touched by her consideration of the world of light despite her injures, chooses to revive the Twili by transferring her soul within Midna's body,[20][21] disappearing in the process. After seeing the unselfish acts made by Zelda and Link, Midna has a change of heart and vows to help save Hyrule from Zant.[6] The duo eventually arrive to the Gerudo Desert, where Midna asks for Link's help in finding the Mirror of Twilight, their last potential link to Zant.[22]
Eventually, Midna and Link reach the Mirror Chamber and find that the Mirror of Twilight has been broken into four Mirror Shards, with only one of them remaining in the mirror. After learning from the Sages the location of the remaining three shards, the pair find them and return to the Mirror Chamber to complete the mirror, where the Sages reveal that Midna is the true Twilight Princess and ruler of the Twili race,[23] not Zelda, who had previously been defined as the Twilight Princess by Midna herself,[12] presumably to keep a cover on her identity. Zant, after usurping the throne from Midna, placed a curse on her that gave her the form she maintains for most of the game. This curse could presumably not be lifted until Ganondorf, the source of Zant's power, was defeated.[3]
Once Link has defeated Zant in battle, Midna is shocked to see that her curse is not lifted, which would enable her to regain her powers. Angered, she uses only a fraction of the power that the Fused Shadows hold to destroy Zant, and is utterly bewildered by their power.[24] With the help of her ancestor's magic, Midna uses its power to transform into a giant, spider-like beast with a large pole-arm weapon to break the pyramid-shaped barrier around Hyrule Castle, allowing the duo entry into the castle hall where Ganondorf and Zelda are located. Link, after a small confrontation between Midna and Ganondorf, successfully drives Ganondorf from out of Zelda's body. However, because Ganondorf's spirit reappears, Midna chooses to sacrifice herself by using the Fused Shadow's power once again in an attempt to destroy Ganondorf. Before doing so, she transports Link and Zelda against their wishes out of the castle before she is seen transforming into the spider-like beast, fully intent in killing Ganondorf. Outside of the castle, Link and Zelda witness an explosion coming from Hyrule Castle, but it is soon revealed that Midna's sacrifice was in vain: shortly thereafter, Ganondorf is seen holding up the helmet part of the Fused Shadows that was Midna's trademark garment, breaking it in his hand to symbolize her defeat.
After Link, with some assistance from Zelda, defeats Ganondorf once and for all, the Light Spirits revive Midna and break the curse placed on her by Ganondorf and Zant, allowing Midna to regain her true form. In a comical moment when Link first sees her true form, she is amused by his silence and asks, "Am I so beautiful that you've no words left?"
Before going back to the Twilight Realm, Midna bids Princess Zelda and Link farewell at the Mirror Chamber and asks that everyone "...remember that there is another world bound to this one." She then addresses the young hero by beginning with the word "I..." but never finishes her sentence. Instead, she sheds a single tear, which, upon contact with the Mirror of Twilight, destroys it completely, severing the only link between the two worlds.[25] She quickly runs to the platform to be taken back to the Twilight Realm, smiling at Link as she does so, before disappearing into her world completely.
Characteristics and Gameplay
Standing a head taller than Princess Zelda, Midna possesses orange hair, red eyes and a pale blueish complexion from the Twilight Realm. She wears a hooded cloak in similar design to Zant's leading some to believe that this may be some kind of royalty garb. With this, she wears a half-dress that reveals one leg bare, and a headdress (or crown). Strangely, she slightly resembles Veran from Oracle of Ages.
Since Midna is one of the Twili, Midna is unable to withstand the light in Hyrule and, as such, hides in Link's shadow whenever he is in the Light World. After Princess Zelda sacrifices herself and transfers her light essence to Midna, she is able from then on to take her physical form even when she's not in the Twilight; however, she still chooses to hide in Link's shadow for most of the game.
Midna's function in the game is like that of Link's previous companions: she helps the player learn the controls for the game and often gives Link hints on what to do or where to go next. When Link is a Wolf, Midna will ride on top of him and be able to create an energy field to help the young hero lock on to enemies and defeat them easily, as seen in the case of Shadow Beasts. Players can choose to talk to Midna at any time by pressing the "Z" button on the GameCube controller or up on the Directional Pad on the Wii Remote. When Wolf Link is in a certain area or near a faraway platform, Midna's icon will flash, which, when pressed, will make Midna float over to that area that Wolf Link can jump to. This is especially helpful to Link since it allows him to reach otherwise inaccessible platforms. Obtaining the Shadow Crystal later on in the game will allow Midna to switch Link between human and wolf as desired.
Throughout the course of the game, Midna portrays several abilities both in the Light and Twilight worlds. The most notable one is that she is able to warp Link through the portals of the Twilight at any given time (provided that Link can transform into a wolf without anyone noticing him).[26] She seems to do this with ease, and is capable of it with any kind of object or person: at one point, Midna warps a bridge and a giant rock from Death Mountain in order to help Link during his quest.[27] Another ability seen in the beginning of Twilight Princess is the capability of walking through walls and other objects, as witnessed when she easily disintegrates and reintegrates as she gets through Link's cell in Hyrule Castle. Moreover, she can easily change her appearance and transform into other people: Midna changes her appearance to look exactly like Ilia and Colin as she reminds Link of who else he needs to rescue.
After Link gathers a sword and a shield for Midna to use, she tries to use them, but is displeased by their power, so she vanishes them into the Twilight and keeps them for Link until they are needed. She can also hide in the light world as Link's shadow while he's in his human form.[28][29] Once he turns into Wolf Link, she can use her hair to pull switches or make a power field around her for Wolf Link to attack enemies within that range.[30][31]
These powers are just some of the many other abilities that Midna seems to possess, another being that she easily frees Wolf Link from his chain and imprisonment by simply concentrating a small ball of energy between her hands. The most important power contained within the true Twilight Princess is the ability to utterly shatter the Mirror of Twilight. Zant, the Usurper King, was only able to destroy the mirror into fragments,[32][33] and it's only Midna's true powers that can completely obliterate the Mirror.[34]
Personality and Relationship With Other Characters
Upon meeting Link while he is in wolf form, Midna suggests a deal: she will help him escape from his prison if he does exactly as she says. Midna is often condescending to Link, frequently jeering at him. As they progress further on their adventure, Midna and Link grow closer. When Zant attacks both Link and Midna, she pleads for him to help himself, and carry on with their quest.[35] She admits that she initially intended to use Link just as a tool to gather the Fused Shadows and crush Zant, not caring a single bit about the Light World and its destiny. But because of the heroism of both Link and Zelda, the latter having sacrificed herself to save Midna (by infusing her with her life force and thus losing her physical form), she gains a true respect for the people of the light, wanting to do everything in her grasp to save both worlds.[6]
From then on, Link and Midna maintain a strong friendship, and she is far less disdainful and more amiable and kind to him. Towards the end, Midna sacrifices herself as a last desperate attempt to kill Ganondorf, sending Link and Zelda to safety. She appears to be defeated however, and Link mourns her death after killing Ganondorf. Shortly after the Light Spirits restore her, and with Ganondorf's power lifted, she is in her true form. Noticing Link's surprise, she jokingly says to him: "What? Say something! Am I so beautiful that you have no words left?," somewhat of a fourth-wall jab at Link being a silent protagonist.
Zelda, Link and Midna return to the Mirror of Twilight, where the latter breaks it, to both Zelda and Link's surprise, seemingly sealing the worlds of Light and Twilight from each other forever, as only the true ruler of the Twilight Realm could destroy the Mirror. Shedding a single tear (which is used to destroy the Mirror), her parting words are "Link... I... See you later." However, this is not what the Japanese text literally translates to. Her last words, in Japanese, were "リンク…ま…またな…", which translates to "Link...s...see you."
When Link first meets Zelda, Midna addresses her as "Twilight Princess,"[12] and seems to be very aggressive and supercilious of her and her decision to choose Hyrule being turned to Twilight over death. Midna often mocks Zelda throughout the game.[36][37][12] It isn't until Zelda sacrifices herself, imbuing Midna with her Light to save her life that she gains respect for her and the people of the Light.[6]
During the final battle, Ganondorf possesses Zelda's body, and Midna tries to use her own to protect the princess. When this fails, Midna looks ready to attack Zelda, but softens and sadly places her hand on Zelda's cheek, and is attacked by Ganon's Puppet Zelda. When she awakens from the attack, Midna uses the Fused Shadows to eradicate Ganon's presence from Zelda, placing her out of harms way. When Dark Beast Ganon is defeated, the light Zelda gave Midna is returned to her. Zelda says that she and Midna's hearts were as one briefly, and she understands Midna's suffering.[38]
When Ganondorf resurfaces later, Midna sacrifices herself to attempt to defeat him, and sends Zelda and Link away to safety. Although it appears as if she has died, Midna is later returned to her true form after Ganon's defeat. At the Mirror of Twilight, Midna intends to leave and says that light and shadow can´t mix.[39] The true Twilight Princess says "your words are kind, and your heart is true," but later she departs regardless, shattering the Mirror.
The Usurper King Zant turned the Twilight Princess, Midna, into an imp to prevent her from retaking the throne and as punishment for defying him. Midna seeks nothing else than to destroy him, using Link to collect pieces of the Fused Shadows that may defeat Zant.[15] Nothing is known of Zant and Midna's previous relationship, but it is nothing but hatred when the game begins. Fans speculate that Zant and Midna both belong to the royal family, hence Zant's expectation that he would ascend to the throne.
Although Midna doesn't know it initially, it is Ganondorf who pulls the strings behind Zant, who overthrew Midna and changed her into an imp with Ganondorf's power. He intended to become ruler of both the Twilight and the Light, and Midna says to him she will do everything to deny him. Midna also attempts to kill Ganondorf using the power of the Fused Shadows, but fails.
Non-Canon Appearances
|Non-Canon Information
Hyrule Warriors
Midna appears as a playable Warrior in Hyrule Warriors. This marks her first major role in a game since Twilight Princess, as well as her first playable appearance in any game. Cia is said to have transformed Midna into her imp form and she is searching for Cia in order to be changed back. She is first encountered as a villain by Agitha and Lana, having stolen Agitha's butterfly. She wields a weapon named Shackles, on a Shadow Wolf similar in appearance to Wolf Link.[40] One of Midna's special moves is her Fused Shadow form from Twilight Princess.
Her fighting style is very odd and wild, often consisting of Midna grabbing and throwing enemies as well as using her Twilit Wolves. While she does have great area coverage and her grapples are useful, she has obvious gaps in her combos, her initial strike has a bit of windup unless she's already dashing, and her Special Move can completely miss an enemy when used at point blank range. Thus, proper spacing is key in order to fully utilize her moveset which can keep enemies at arm's reach.
Twili Midna
Midna's true form, known as Twili Midna, is also available as a separate, playable Warrior. She is available through the release of the Twilight Princess DLC pack in the original game, or by default in Hyrule Warriors Legends. In this form, she uses the Mirror as her chosen weapon type. Beneath her life bar is a Twilight gauge that fills as she attacks enemies, which in turn lets her use her powerful Charge attack far more quickly. The Mirror seems to be influenced by Midna's power to warp objects in Twilight Princess. Typically she uses a stone hand for melee attacks, but her combos have a variety of finishes such as conjuring the cannon Link used to reach the City in the Sky, bludgeoning enemies with a bridge, or summoning wolves (though unlike her imp form, they are gigantic in size). Her Focus Spirit attack is a reenactment of the ending of Twilight Princess where she shattered the Mirror of Twilight, though in this case she apparently shatters reality itself.
At some point after Link received the legendary Master Sword, Princess Zelda and Midna leave their group to wander off to the Palace of Twilight, upon hearing a "mysterious darkness" has entered the domain. Coincidentally, Linkle happens to get lost there; the young Cucco villager suddenly finds a magical crystal that so happens to restore the imp Midna to her true form, Twili Midna.
Both Midna and Twili Midna drop the same materials when defeated in battle which are a lock of Midna's Hair as silver material as well as the Fuse Shadow as gold material. In Hyrule Warriors Legends, Twili Midna drops her own materials when defeated in battle such as her Hairpin as silver material and her Robe as gold material.
Super Smash Bros. Series
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Midna appears as two Stickers and a Trophy. "Midna's Desperate Hour" also appears as an unlockable song which plays on the Bridge of Eldin stage (though the song was renamed "Midna's Lament"). In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, Midna appears as an Assist Trophy. When summoned, she attacks opponents with her hair in its arm form. She also appears as a Trophy.

Featured Golf News
Spence Completes Renovation of Furman University GC
Furman University Golf Club, home to the Furman men's and women's golf teams, has been renovated by architect Kris W. Spence. The renovation focused on all 18 greens and their surrounds and was completed August 22. The course is expected to reopen for play in early October.
Spence was intent on adding character and difficulty to the putting surfaces to challenge the modern collegiate golfer, while also creating openings in front of the greens to accommodate the everyday player at the public course.
Furman University Golf Club was built in two phases in the late 1950s. It was a collaboration of architect R.K. Webel and Walter Cosby, superintendent of the famed Greenbrier in West Virginia.
"The original designers did an excellent job routing the course over a beautiful piece of rolling topography, but the greens were repetitive, lacked definition and didn't offer strategic variety," Spence said. "We incorporated more of a Donald Ross look to the green complexes with raised fill pads, and bunkers cut tight to the greens with steep grass faces."
Spence said the end result is a better all around golf course, one that can be ratcheted up for high-level tournament play.
"We have two very competitive nationally-ranked golf teams," said head professional Kevin Dehlinger. "The golf course had to be tournament ready and tournament difficult, yet able to be set up on a day-to-day basis for the average golfer. Kris accomplished that. We have areas to tuck pins for tournament play, but other areas for daily pins that are fair to average players."
In addition to a complete redesign and reconstruction of the greens, Spence added a dozen fairway bunkers and new tees on five holes. An updated irrigation system was installed around the greens, which were resurfaced in Champion Bermuda, the latest hybrid Bermuda grass for greens.
Length was added on four holes to bring the total yardage to 6,993 from the purple tees. Other yardages are now: 6,500 yards (black tees), 6,009 yards (white) and 5,281 yards (lavender).
"Modern technology had rendered the course fairly easy to play for college players," said Dehlinger. "Furman has alumni like Dottie Pepper, Beth Daniel, Brad Faxon, Betsy King and Sheri Turner. That's the legacy of our golf teams and now our teams have a course that matches the legacy."
Said Spence: "It's a sharper, more well-defined course with a much more distinct and unique look. The greens are very memorable and certainly not repetitive."

It's difficult to win football games when your opponent scores more points than your team gains yards.
That's exactly what happened Friday night at Millionaire Stadium as the Millionaires' 30 yards of offense were no match for Wyoming Valley West's 44 points in a shutout loss that closed out the Millionaires' 2013 season.
The Millionaires struggled all night to block a relentless Spartans' rush, fumbling three times and only managing four first downs. Williamsport didn't record a single first down until a 16-yard run by Isaac Foust on the final play of the first half. By then the score was 37-0.
The lone bright spot in the game came from the kick returns of Malik Wilson, who averaged 32 yards per return, including a long of 49. He also intercepted a pass late in the second quarter. Unfortunately for the Millionaires, the offense fumbled the ball away on the next play to help set up a Spartan touchdown.
By then the game was already out of hand.
It's not all bad news for Williamsport, however. After a winless 2012 the Millionaires closed out 2013 with three victories and a foundation for the future in place.
"We've dealt with a lot of adversity and lower numbers by not having a ninth-grade program the year before," head coach Kevin Choate said. "But now we've got a great ninth-grade program coming up and it looks like this Williamsport Area Middle School is really coming along and hopefully we'll have a great feeder system into it."
Choate also pointed out his pleasure with the progress of his defense, but admitted that offensively the squad still has much to improve upon.
"I saw a lot of individual improvement [this season] with our defensive backfield and defensive line, Choate said. "Now obviously we have a long way to go with our offensive line, but that's what the offseason is for. The good news is they're all young and they're all coming back."
But for seniors like Wilson, quarterback Dale Berkheimer, leading rusher Isaac Foust and a slew of others on both side of the ball there is no "coming back."
Choate did, however, have a message for his graduating class.
"[They] were the ones that started the first steps forward," Choate said. "I told them to keep their heads up."
But the fact remains that many of the Millionaires most-talented players will not be with the squad next season and Choate knows that he needs to work hard to "restock the cupboard."
"When I got here the cupboard was bare so we've got to continue to sure up the foundation, he said. "We need to make sure doing the things we need to do to recruit the best athletes we can. But we want to recruit not only athletes, but athletes with character."

Do You Have Lost Treasure in Michigan?Contact: Terry Stanton (517) 335-1356
October 10, 2002
The Michigan Department of Treasury will publish its annual Unclaimed Property list in the October 13, 2002, edition of the Detroit News/Free Press. This year's publication includes a record 87-thousand names of individuals and entities that have abandoned property with the state. Under Michigan law, the Department of Treasury acts as custodian of unclaimed property until claimed by its rightful owner. There is no statute of limitations for claiming property, which generally consists of shares of stock, uncashed checks, and dormant bank accounts as well as contents of safe deposit boxes.
In each of the last two years, the Unclaimed Property Division has paid out record amounts to Michigan citizens. "In Fiscal Year 2002, more than $27 million in abandoned property and cash has been returned to Michigan citizens," says State Treasurer Douglas B. Roberts. "We can only hope that a record listing in this weekend's Unclaimed Property publication will lead to another record payout in 2003."
The Department of Treasury Web site, at www.michigan.gov/unclaimedproperty continues to offer the easiest access to the extensive database of unclaimed property. A search engine is available to see if an individual's name might be included on the list. While the statewide publication includes only those properties turned into the state within the last year, the online database contains several years. An inquiry form is also available online.

CANTON ? Buckeye Central didn't earn the championship trophy in the Division VI state final against Maria Stein Marion Local, but the Bucks showed they have a championship heart.
Several times over the course of Marion Local's 61-21 victory, it would've been easy for anyone on Buckeye Central to simply accept the fact that the Flyers were the better team, and a sliver trophy is not a bad consolation prize. But that's not the attitude that this team has been known for.
The Bucks have proven themselves to be a team of great character, with a great fighting spirit.
It's a trait Buckeye Central has shown all season. When it has faced adversity, its fought back to overcome it. In the regular season finale against Colonel Crawford, after the Eagles rallied to force overtime, the Bucks fought back to win the game in the extra session, clinching a North Central Conference Silver Division title.
In last week's state semifinal against Western Reserve, when the Blue Devils were marching downfield for a potential winning score, the Buck defense never gave in and Buckeye Central advanced to its first state championship game since 1995.
Even though Marion Local was one obstacle the Bucks weren't able to overcome, their fighting spirit was on display until the very end.
Marion Local built a 34-0 halftime lead, but Buckeye Central came out of the locker room with just as much fire and intensity they had to begin the game.
Adam Paynter and Michael Adkins were running just as hard in the fourth quarter as in the first. Justin Herrnstein still was putting hard hits on any Flyer player that tried to challenge him.
Lineman Bryce Collins continued a trend he began in the first half, penetrating the Marion Local offensive line and getting into the backfield. When he wasn't in the Flyer backfield, Collins also could be seen making tackles 19-yards downfield.
"We just knew we had to come out and put some points on the board. We didn't want to leave this game knowing that we didn't give it our all," Collins said.
The Bucks received the second half kickoff, but were forced to punt. However, they picked up their first break of the afternoon when Marion Local's Dylan Thobe fumbled the punt. Lineman Chase Finney got downfield in a hurry and was right there to pounce on the loose ball for Buckeye Central.
From there, Paynter, who rushed for 92 of his 115 yards in the second half, used the lead blocking of Collins and the rest of the line to take the Bucks towards the end zone. His 17-yard touchdown run finally put Buckeye on the board.
"The line was blocking pretty good. I just tried to find the hole and then use my speed to outrun the defense," Paynter said.
However, Marion Local responded with three straight scores, including an 85-yard interception return by Trevor Homan that made the score 54-7.
Still, Buckeye Central wouldn't quit; it kept fighting.
Still going against the first team Marion Local defense, the Bucks marched 79 yards in 11 plays with the loyal Buck fanbase, complete with vuvuzelas and homemade deer decorated in duct tape, on its feet cheering the team on the whole way. Adkins plowed into the end zone from one yard out
"We talked about it halftime, we knew we were down but we wanted to come out and put some points on the board," Tyler Erwin said. "We don't get here a lot, so we had to make the best of it."
BC got one more score to close out the game on a 23-yard run by Paynter.
Buckeye Central had a very loyal following that stayed until the final whistle, showing support for a team that has given it so many memories over the past few seasons. One final memory was made in the shadows of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The Bucks may not have left Canton as state champions, but they showed everyone in attendance that they have the heart of champions.

A head-turning 4.3 seconds.
"After he ran that 4.3, it was like, 'Can I take a look at him?'" Spartans receivers coach Terrence Samuel said.
Samuel had the best case — mounting injuries at the wideout position, just as the coaches didn't think they were getting the most out of the 6-foot, 208-pound sophomore as a backup running back.
"I really feel like he's too good of an athlete to play one position and be the fourth tailback," Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio said Thursday. "We've got to get him on the field, just like we did last year (on) special teams."
MSU SPRING FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS• Cancer survivor Arthur Ray Jr. trying to turn feel-good story into football story
• DeAnthony Arnett living an uncertain existence, the NCAA's looming decision and his father's health on his mind
• Andrew Maxwell adjusting to life as Spartans' quarterback
• Nothing complacent about Le'Veon Bell? Mark Dantonio says junior is lead running back
He's stuck behind Le'Veon Bell, Larry Caper and Nick Hill at running back, though, for now, he'll continue to see reps in the backfield.
"They just came to me and said, 'We need help at the receiver spot and can you come help us over there? It's not a position for long, but just to help,'" Langford said.
"I'm just out here trying to play and get a spot on the field."
"Not for long" may be relative to the rest of his college career. That's if Langford finds the groove Samuel hopes he does.
Samuel said with Bennie Fowler and Tony Lippett out with injuries and Juwan Ceasar dinged up, Langford might already be the two-deep.
"He's been so much in that little box, when you get a little spacing and it's just mano-a-mano or you and the DB (defensive back), can you understand when to separate?
"If he gets comfortable and rolls with it, I mean you don't want to pull a guy when he's finally getting into a rhythm. We'll just see how he goes. As he gets comfortable, the doors are open."

"All-Star Celebrity Apprentice": Trace & Penn Face Off in Final Task
(LOS ANGELES) -- Two stars were fired from All-Star Celebrity Apprentice on Sunday night: Lisa Rinna and Lil Jon. That set the stage for the final task of the season, pitting the two remaining celebrities against one another: Trace Adkins and Penn Jillette.
Rinna raised more than $500,000 for her charity, St. Jude Children's Hospital, but Donald Trump chose to keep Jillette over the actress. He then fired Lil Jon, but not before giving him an extra $20,000 for the rapper's charity, the American Diabetes Association.
Lil Jon, along with Gary Busey and Marilu Henner, returned to help Adkins with the final task. Jillette was joined by Rinna, La Toya Jackson and Dennis Rodman.
Each team was asked to create and promote a new flavor of Walgreens' Delish ice cream brand. Jillette launched a "Magic Swirtle" flavor, while Adkins went with a maple nut-themed ice cream.
Both sides had to create a commercial for their flavor. Jillette incorporated Las Vegas showgirls into his clip.
We'll find out who wins the task -- and a $250,000 bonus for his charity -- on the season finale next Sunday on NBC.

It is 1978. Our hero, a very soft-boiled detective, is a one-hit wonder rock star who, after a precipitous drug burnout, drifted into journalism. He turns sleuth after the people in and around a new rock band he is covering for his magazine begin getting bumped off. If that premise seems contrived, wait until you read the spectacularly unlikely way it is treated by perennial TV cherub Dick Clark. The characters aren't drawn; they're finger painted. The dialogue is stilted, and the solution to the mystery is soon glaringly apparent. The book's most annoying trait is the way clunky pop-music references are dropped into the text from a great height. Here are a few: "But, as David Bowie might say, there turned out to be some 'ch-ch-ch-changes' instead." "The road manager's face burned crimson and clover, then turned a whiter shade of pale..." "I didn't need Creedence Clearwater to tell me there was a bad moon rising." Then again, if it wasn't for the gratuitous music references, you couldn't distinguish this book from a script for a vapid episode of Murder, She Wrote. Next time, Mr. Clark should involve himself in something he knows more about. How about a sugar-coated remake of The Picture of Dorian Gray with all the evil taken out? (Mysterious Press, $16.95)

STATE COLLEGE - In most baseball games, there is usually at least one game changer. Saturday night in the game between State College and Williamsport, there were two.
Taking advantage of both situations, the Spikes, who spotted the Cutters a 2-0 lead, plated five unanswered runs for a 5-2 win at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.
The game was the quickest to be played before the largest crowd of the season, which also was Mifflin-Juniata night at the ballpark.

Sentinel photo by STEVE?MANUEL
State College Spikes' Tyler Gaffney goes for a fly ball at the fence, robbing Williamsport's Chris Serritella of a home run Saturday.
The first game changer came in the first inning when Spikes right fielder Tyler Gaffney went high above the boards in right field to rob Chris Serritella of what appeared to be a home run.
With Gaffney's great catch, the game remained scoreless instead of it being 2-0 Cutters.
"I really like the way the guys competed tonight," Spikes manager Dave Turgeon said. "Gaffney's great catch set the tempo and was a big spark plug for us. He comes to play, he is fun to watch and his catch was just unbelievable. When you talk about game changers, that catch set the tone, gave our pitcher a chance to take a deep breath to go out there and keep us in the game."
Scoreless through three innings, Crosscutter Larry Greene hit a bomb to center field, just to the right of the batter's eye on the center field fence, for the first run. The Cutters made it 2-0 in the fourth when Logan Moore led off with a double, went to third on a Greene single to right and scored on a fielder's choice off the bat of Roman Quinn.
The Spikes tied the game in the fifth but it wasn't without a lot of controversy, brought about by the umpires' handling of a call when a ball bounced off the leg of Spikes batter Jodaneli Carvajal. The State College second baseman paused briefly as the batted ball rolled up the third-base line before taking off for first.
Home plate umpire Jeff Andrews signaled it was a fair ball. Base umpire Matt Moore made no motion at all. Williamsport pitched Delvin Perez bounced off the mound and calmly made the throw to first.
The two teams left the field as it appeared the third out had been made. That's when Turgeon came up the line toward home plate, the two umpires got together and the decision was reversed.
That brought Crosscutter manager Andy Tracy storming out of the dugout. Tracy's argument proved unfruitful, the Cutters returned to the field and the Spikes promptly scored a pair of runs to tie the game.
"That was a big play," Turgeon said. "(Thursday) a similar play went against us and it was done by the same (umpire)."
Tracy wasn't necessarily upset about the call that was made, but rather the manner in which things transpired to get the proper call in place.
"I just didn't like the fact that we already left the field, the play was already called, Turgeon went up and talked with them, they came together and then they changed the call," Tracy said. "If you think it is a foul ball, you call it immediately. As a field umpire, you throw your hands in the air and say no, no that is a foul ball. Instead we were on the bench and then they called us back out on the field. It is extremely unusual that a pitcher gets more warmup pitches in the middle of an inning. Obviously that was a weird play."
State College went on top with a run in the bottom of the sixth when Gaffney walked and later scored on an Crosscutter error.
The Spikes tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth to set the final. Gaffney was again the middle of things when he was safe on a misplayed double to leftfield. He later scored on a sharp single to left by Walker Gourley. Gourley scored the final run of the game on a RBI single up the middle by Barrett Barnes.
On Sunday, the series with Williamsport concluded as the Spikes split a doubleheader on the road, setting a season-high mark for single-game runs for a 12-6 victory in the first game and falling in game two, 5-0.
In the first game, State College (18-16) rapped 11 hits and scored in every inning but the third. The Spikes were held to just three hits in game two, however.
The Spikes are at home tonight for the first in a two-game set with Batavia.

Burnishing his political credentials among the Republican right wing may be the only logical explanation for Gov. Christie's blocking the creation of state health-insurance exchanges, which would aid not only the 1.3 million New Jerseyans without coverage, but also small businesses and people who don't have enough medical insurance.
Choosing politics over policy, Christie has caved to party extremists who were calling the exchanges "Christiecare."
The term served as a loosely veiled threat to a potential running mate for presumptive GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, who has his own problems trying to escape references to "Romneycare," the affordable-health-care plan he created as governor of Massachusetts.
