Eleven home matches and eight contests against opponents who qualified for the 2008 NCAA Tournament highlight the newly released 2009 Tulane University volleyball schedule, first-year head coach Sinisa Momic announced.
Coming off the program's first-ever Conference USA regular-season title and NCAA postseason trip, the 2009 Green Wave will open the season with seven straight road matches before opening its home slate on Sept. 11-12 with the Allstate Sugar Bowl Classic at Fogelman Arena.
Tulane's pre-conference schedule includes matches against Nebraska, Illinois and Long Beach State, which finished the 2008 season ranked third, 11th and 23rd in the final American Volleyball Coaches Association Top 25 Poll.
"Once again we are playing a very tough pre-season schedule against teams with high RPIs," Momic said in a release. "We believe this is necessary for our team and program to continue to improve. We want to challenge our players to consistently compete at their highest level, and we feel that a tough schedule will help us improve quicker. Our tough preseason schedule will also better prepare us for our Conference USA opponents, which have greatly improved over the last couple of years."
The Green Wave open the year on Aug. 28-29 at the Bluejay Invitational at Creighton University when the team travels to Omaha, Neb., to take on Illinois, Texas Tech and the host Bluejays. From there, it is on to Baton Rouge for the Tiger Classic where the Wave will battle Louisiana-Lafayette on Sept. 4 before taking on Nebraska and state-rival LSU on Sept. 5.
Tulane will play its first match in the city limits on Sept. 10 when it goes to the Lakefront to take on cross-town foe University of New Orleans before hosting LSU, Long Beach State and UNO in the Allstate Sugar Bowl Classic in Fogelman Arena. The Sept. 11 match against LSU will be a special day for the Green Wave as the Athletic Department will unveil the 2008 C-USA regular-season and tournament championship banners, as well as a banner marking the program's first-ever trip to the NCAA Tournament.
From there, the Wave open the Conference USA portion of their schedule on Thursday, Sept. 17, when they travel to El Paso, Texas, for a showdown with UTEP. Tulane follows that contest with the Arizona Invitational in Tucson, Ariz., where the team will face the host Wildcats on Sept. 19 before battling New Mexico on Sept. 20.
It will be C-USA opponents for most of the remainder of the season as Tulane will play host to Tulsa (Sept. 25), SMU (Sept. 27), Southern Miss (Oct. 7), UCF (Oct. 11), UAB (Oct. 23), Memphis (Oct. 25), Rice (Nov. 6), Houston (Nov. 8) and UTEP (Nov. 14).
Conference road trips include matches at Houston (Oct. 2), Rice (Oct. 4), Marshall (Oct. 16), East Carolina (Oct. 18), SMU (Oct. 30) and Tulsa (Nov. 1). The lone non-conference match along the way is an Oct. 1 trip to Nacogdoches, Texas, to take on the Ladyjacks of Stephen F. Austin.
Following the Green Wave's regular-season finale vs. UTEP on Nov. 14, Rice University will host the 2009 C-USA Volleyball Championship from Nov. 19-22 at Autry Court in Houston, Texas. The winner of the conference tournament will earn the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, which is slated to begin on Nov. 19.
Momic's team returns three starters and seven letterwinners from last year's 28-6 team that won the C-USA regular-season and tournament titles and advance to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Included in the list of returnees are 2008 C-USA, Louisiana and AVCA Midwest Region Freshman of the Year Visnja Djurdjevic and 2008 second-team All C-USA libero Jenn Miller.
Also returning for the 2009 season are starting middle blocker Lindsey Shepard as well as key reserves Rachel Lindelow and Ksenija Vlaskovic, who split time with the starters at setter and right-side hitter, respectively, in 2008. Other returning letterwinners are junior outside hitter Amaris Genemaras and junior middle blocker Stephanie Stromath.
Joining the team for the 2009 season are senior transfer Jaye Loyd, along with freshman setter/libero Elysa Jackson (Sugar Land, Texas), freshman middle blocker Marija Milosaljevic (Bajina Basta, Serbia) and rookie right-side hitter Milica Jovic (Zrenjanin, Serbia).
Season tickets for the 2009 Tulane volleyball season are currently on sale through the Tulane Athletics Ticket Office at a cost of $55 for adults and $35 for youths. In addition, all Tulane faculty and staff may purchase tickets for half price.
Tickets may be purchase in person on the first floor of the James W. Wilson, Jr., Center, over the phone at (504) 861-WAVE (9283), or online at www.TulaneGreenWave.com. Single-match tickets will go on sale beginning on Monday, Aug. 24, and can also be purchase on the date of competition at Fogelman Arena.

Washington politicians certainly aren't 'leaders'
I would appreciate it if the media would stop calling the politicians in Washington "leaders." They demonstrate that they have, time after time, dissipated all opportunities to earn that title. And one can only earn the title "leader." One cannot buy it, in spite of spending billions of dollars of other people's money, as has been demonstrated in the last election.
Spending these billions of dollars with no residual benefit in terms of infrastructure or manufacturing capacity or enhanced capability. The only legacy to the gross election spending is the residual special interest obligation.
The politicians have known for years that this critical moment, designated the fiscal cliff, was coming. They let their egos and special interest agendas supersede the best interests of the country. The politicians let the poison of uncertainty fester throughout the economy, undermining the confidence of the domestic and international communities, at a time when it would do the most damage.
And don't refer to these politicians as the "heads" of their respective parties either. Not when they have all the attributes of the opposite ends of the respective beasts.
The American people deserve better from the elected politicians. The American people also deserve accurate descriptions of the politicians who parade around Washington, while their constituents do the best they can.

NEWELL-In a region that relishes its hot dogs, Ray and Amanda Orin knew that opening a hot dog shop in Newell wouldn't be easy.
So they kept their expectations low-until opening day on March 9.
On that day, the owners of Coney Island Hot Dogs & Burgers, 217 Washington St., Newell, sold 400 hot dogs, 90 hamburgers and 200 pounds' worth of french fries, Ray Orin said.

Ray and Amanda Orin opened Coney Island Hot Dogs & Burgers in Newell on March 9. "One of my privileges is working beside my wife every day," Ray Orin said. "We both get to share in the business now." (Photo by Stephen Huba)
"We didn't stop for a break the whole day. It was non-stop," he said.
By 5:30 p.m., a half-hour before closing, the new restaurant was sold out of food. Fortunately for the couple of 15 years, opening day was a Saturday.
"If it had been a weekday, we wouldn't have had anything to offer the next day. Maybe some ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise," Orin said with a smile.
Orin, 40, of Wellsville, said the support Coney Island has received in its first six weeks of business has been "humbling" and has "blown our expectations out of the water."
Business has been helped, Orin said, by the fortuitous start of a major expansion of the Ergon-West Virginia Inc. oil refinery just down the road, bringing in hundreds of hungry, out-of-town customers.
Speaking in a rapid-fire delivery that matches his love of a fast-paced business, Orin said he gave up a secure, well-paying career in auto and truck sales to start the new venture on Newell's main drag. He most recently was service manager at Hill International Trucks in Calcutta.
"My wife and I have been planning this for a year. We finally found a good location, and that's why we decided to locate here," he said. "We spent our life savings on the equipment, and took a big leap of faith. I just hope we get it back."
Orin said working at the Hot Dog Shoppe in downtown East Liverpool when he was 16 "planted a seed" that he might, one day, start his own business. While studying for a degree in business management at Ohio State University, Orin took culinary arts classes at Hocking Technical College (now Hocking College) in Nelsonville, Ohio.
That, and his love of cooking, kept the fire burning all those years when he was working for car and truck dealerships. "The pay was great, but the hours-I was never home," Orin said.
The couple found out about the vacant, available building last year and began renovating it in October. It hasn't been easy making the transition from company man to self-made entrepreneur, but Orin said his business sense and his wife's cooking has gotten the small Newell concern off to a big start.
"We found out it's a lifestyle-not a job," he said. "We wanted to do something different, other than just your good old cheddar-chili dog."
A self-described hot dog connoisseur, Orin developed a menu that offers a few items-hot dogs, french fries, burgers-but in creative varieties. There's "Ray's Dog" (wrapped in bacon, deep fried, covered in cheddar and onions), "River Dog" (covered in chili sauce, cheddar and fries), "Chicago Dog," "Pittsburgh Dog," and "Junkyard Dog" (up to five toppings).
Hot dogs start at $1, burgers at $2.50 and fries at $2. The restaurant also offers onion rings, a grilled chicken sandwich, a garden salad and a grilled chicken salad.
Both the cheddar sauce and chili sauce at Coney Island are homemade, developed from recipes from Amanda Orin, 33. Burgers are made from fresh, not frozen, meat. "The cheddar sauce is just something I came up with," she said. "The chili sauce I made a few years ago and used for picnics and other occasions."
Coney Island hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition got a special guest star during a taping Tuesday: First Lady Laura Bush.
"It's going to take all of these (volunteers) working together to help people rebuild their lives," Bush said in the hot and crowded Biloxi (Miss.) Community Center, where a mountain of donated clothes covered a stage in preparation to be handed out.
The first lady – with Preston Sharp, a designer on the ABC reality show, at her side – greeted storm victims and dispensed the donated items from large plastic bins, the Associated Press reports.
While her husband's administration has been criticized for initially appearing detached from the relief effort – the president himself later accepted the blame for the government's slow response to the catastrophe of Katrina – Mrs. Bush said she was encouraged by the way governments, private organizations, faith-based groups and individuals were helping ease the suffering caused by the Aug. 29 hurricane.
Katrina killed at least 220 Mississippians, displaced as many as 1 million people in Mississippi and Louisiana, and left major damage along the state's 90-mile coast. "Extreme Makeover," which usually remodels homes for needy people with compelling stories, arrived in the region to help distribute items donated to victims.
Before Mrs. Bush entered the community center where the show was filming, a director shooed away both victims and volunteers from the doorway, instructing them how to react as her entourage entered.
"Act surprised!" he said above the din, AP reports.
Mrs. Bush previously visited the Mississippi town of Poplarville with her husband to view damage. On Tuesday, she was struck by the extent of the devastation in Biloxi, where virtually every building was damaged and mounds of rubble lined the streets.
"It really is heartbreaking," she said.
A spokeswoman for the first lady, Susan Whitson, said the Extreme Makeover segment with Mrs. Bush would likely air in early December. The New York Times reports that the delayed scheduling of the episode is intentional, because TV viewers will again need to be reminded to help hurricane victims by then.

Depressed stock prices and increased market volatility can be a great combination for income-seekers to sell puts, says Morningstar OptionInvestor editor Erik Kobayashi-Solomon .
Although hedging offers a form of portfolio insurance, investors often mistime the market and mistake asset-allocation woes as hedging problems, says Morningstar's Erik Kobayashi-Solomon .
As negative headlines continue to roll in, a market upswing suggests investors are expecting more stimulus action from the Fed.
European hope springs eternal, but the problems there are far from solved.
This popular option strategy has the potential to add some income to portfolios.
Now that you've got covered calls down, it's time to get some protection.

Tanglewood's SummerSound wasn't so much fun when the one-day music festival made its debut last year. It rained — a lot. And the winds, in excess of 50 mph at times, didn't help. The fest, run in conjunction with the fifth annual Memorial Day Races (which starts and ends at Tanglewood), is expected to draw well this year ... if the weather holds out. Three Massachusetts-based musicians—acoustic rockers Adam Ezra Group, Heather Maloney, and The Interlopers — will share the stage with New York City act Skyfactor. Noon Sunday. $15. Tanglewood, 297 West St., Lenox, Mass. 888-266-1200; http://www.bso.org
Collar Works Gallery inaugurates its new, albeit temporary, home on Fourth Street in Troy with "Means of Connection: Examinations by Ryan Clow and Jason van Staveren." While the gallery awaits a new permanent space, under construction now on River Street, they'll occupy a spot in the recently renovated former Trojan Hardware building, which will also house Rare Form, a new brewery and tasting room and a restaurant called The Shop. A street-level storefront, the space promises more visibility for the gallery. With multimedia installations, Clow and van Staveren each look critically at and question the systems set up ostensibly for social connection in contemporary society. 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Friday; Collar Works, 137 Fourth St., Troy. http://Collarworks.org.

Some 47 years ago, members of the original Arts Center in Troy hung their work on an iron fence surrounding Washington Park. The "Fence Show," as the annual member show became known, eventually moved inside. This year's iteration will be celebrated with an opening reception on Troy Night Out. Spread salon-style throughout the building, all artwork submitted is exhibited. This year's juror, Robert Shane, assistant professor of art history and criticism at The College of Saint Rose, chose 42 pieces, plus 13 student works, to be shown in the show, which opens in July. At this Friday's reception, awards for best in show and runner-up, as well as student best in show and runner-up, will be announced. The best in show award-winner will receive a solo exhibit at the arts center next summer, as well as $250. 5 p.m.-9 p.m., awards at 7 p.m. Friday; The Arts Center of the Capital Region, 265 River St., Troy. 273-0552.

Bodegas Domeco de Jarauta
2010 Lar de Sotomayor Vendimia Seleccionada
Red Blend
Spain: Rioja & Navarra
Mission Briefing
And justice for all
On opening, this is a structured wine with ample tannin. Decant or swirl for an extended period and be rewarded with a softer and more flavorful wine that expresses more fruit.
With spice, fruit and earth that play together in a beautiful way, this delicious wine earned a fantastic 91 point score from Robert Parker, who is notoriously hard on Spanish Rioja.
Priced just right, this wine delivers terrific value.
Tasting Profile
Deep scarlet at its core, transitioning elegantly to a nice, lighter red rim.
A delightful balance of fruit, earth, and spice, with deep notes of blackberry and plum mingling with berry bramble, freshly fallen leaves, clove, black pepper, and just a hint of cinnamon.
Very reminiscent of the nose, with the continued wonderful interplay of fruit and earth. Concentrated plum and blackberry are laid overtop aged leather, cigar box, sage, rosemary, and clove.
This wine opens up beautifully after decanting, revealing a nice structure and well integrated tannins.
We would recommend pan-seared lamb chops, served with a black olive tapenade.
What the Winery Says
This wine, intense ruby in color, offers an intriguing bouquet of dark plum and strawberry jam that is very controlled and well-defined. The wine is complex, but with soft and supple entry on the palate, leading to a magnificent finish.

The transept of the winery is crowned by a windowed balcony from which to enjoy a rounded view of all our vineyards, ideal location to realize various types of tastings.

Water testing at farmers market
The Bitter Root Water Forum (BRWF) is providing an easy and effective way for community members to test their well water with a free water screening. Well owners are invited to bring a water sample in a glass jar to BRWF's Hamilton Farmers Market booth from 9 a.m. to to 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays. By using testing strips that measure Ph, hardness, alkalinity, nitrates and nitrites, well owners can assess their water for any extreme contamination. BRWF will also provide Montana State University's "Well Educated" take home testing kits for those interested in a more comprehensive assessment — take one with you at no cost and pay the very low fee of $10-$40 to MSU when you send it in. The amount you pay is dependent upon your choice of parameters to be tested. To learn more, give BRWF a call at 375-2272.

NV Library 'art chair' fundraiser
The Friends of the North Valley Library in Stevensville will be having a Silent Auction for unique items during Creamery Picnic Weekend. In the 1990's the University of Montana donated some surplus tablet desks, better known as "chair-desks", to the library, circa late 1940's to the 1980's. Some of the arms were removed by the library staff at that time and the wooden chairs were used in the library. The Friends were happy to find seven of the chair-desks intact and have asked local artists to paint them, and one wooden chair, in any theme that the artists wish. The names of the artists, in alphabetical order and their sponsors, where the items will be shown for a short time, are: Kiana Fecteau, River's Mist Gallery; Karen Leininger, Valley Drug; Sue Lyons, Friends of the North Valley Public Library; Myra McMannis, North Valley Public Library; Alisha Turgan, Rocky Mountain Bank; Alex Skinner, River's Mist Gallery; Robbie Springs, Stevensville Hotel; Cassie Zier, Valley Drug. Starting on Tuesday, July 31, the chair-desks and chair will be on display in the foyer of the Kohl Building, which is basically the side entrance to Valley Drug on 3rd Street. You will then have the opportunity to bid, not only on a piece of Montana history, but a work of original art as well. The Silent Auction will end on Friday, August 3 at 7 p.m. Remember, if a member of your family or you attended the University of Montana in the 50's, 60's or 70's, you or they may have used one of these very chair-desks, or at least one exactly like it. The money raised from this event will help defray the costs of the many ongoing projects at the North Valley Public Library.

Aug 14, 2009

During her residency at the University of Connecticut, Dr. Hastings received extensive training in maternal-fetal medicine, reproductive endocrinology and infertility, gynecologic oncology, and uro-gynecology. She incorporated additional training in public health into her education.
"My grandfather, a devoted physician with a passion for medicine and people, was a great influence on me," said Dr. Hastings.

A risky game in Mali
We can now put some modest numbers to the Canadian effort in Mali.
An estimated $18.6 million to deploy a C-17 for one month, $11.7 million of that specifically spent on this mission.
Some 351,534 kg of cargo transported from Istres, France, to Bamako, Mali, including armoured vehicles, medical supplies, ammunition and French military personnel.
Some 40 Canadians involved in the support mission, plus an unspecified number of Special Forces protecting our embassy and our plane in the capital and helping train Niger's armed forces under something called Exercise Flintlock. A fixed end date of Feb. 15 for our commitment to help the French, $13 million in humanitarian aid to Mali, 450 Canadians still in the country advised to get out.
For a little bit of clarity to our involvement to date, we are beholden to Maj.-Gen. Jonathan Vance and Kerry Buck, an assistant deputy minister at Foreign Affairs.
For the lack of any indication of our next steps, or even an overarching rationale for our involvement so far, blame their political masters, who appear to be having some difficulty keeping up with a rapidly evolving situation in the West African nation.
At a parliamentary committee Thursday, Liberal John McKay repeatedly pushed Vance on Canada's military goal in Mali. Vance repeatedly told him the goal was to help the French until Feb. 15.
Vance, of course, is not setting government policy, but McKay used the military man's by-the-book answer to point out the government is unable to explain to the nation we are involved in this mission to contain or degrade the Islamic terrorist threat in the region.
But Vance was much more fulsome about what a successful French intervention meant.
Despite some "attrition" among the rebels, there are lots of them left in the northern mountainous regions of the country, near the Algerian border, Vance said, and the rebel population has been steadily growing in recent years.
"It's impossible to say what the regional Islamic threat will do as a result of the French intervention," he said. "This will help Mali, but there remains a regional concern.''
But while opposition MPs pushed on the military aspect of the Canadian effort, Vance and Buck pushed back, pointing out this battle has to be fought on three fronts — a boost to return Mali to democracy, humanitarian help and security.
Forget the idea that "military kinetic action" is some type of silver bullet, Vance said. You are not going to end a terrorist movement with a gun alone. But the situation in Mali is not just fluid, it is unfolding at warp speed.
The French, after taking over the final rebel stronghold in the north, were calling for peace talks between the government and rebels and the Malian government was floating the idea of elections in July.
Even as McKay was pushing Buck on Ottawa's reticence to help fund an African stabilization force that would follow the French into the country, the United Nations was floating the concept of a traditional peacekeeping force in Mali.
The Associated Press, quoting a senior western diplomat, said a force of 3,000 to 5,000 would be required and the concept apparently has the backing of the United States, Britain and France.
Should such a plan gain favour, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, not a leader to dance to the drum of the Security Council, could face new pressure on Mali.
He resisted calls for Canadian combat troops on the ground in Mali, a sound decision given the fact it appears — for now — that they would not have been needed.
A peacekeeping mission to stabilize the north of Mali, dismissed by opposition MPs on Thursday as premature, is a very different question, although it could be a long, costly mission regardless.
The speedy success of the French intervention in Mali has won praise in Paris, but without a solid next step, the Islamic terrorist threat is sure to come roaring back.
France boasts a modern 21st century fighting force, McKay said, "but the enemy has a seventh century mentality which has no sense of the time that a western nation has. The French can only go as far as its population and its government takes them.
"After a while the enthusiasm for this mission wanes and we leave, and the Islamists will be back.''
Whatever the next move in Mali, Ottawa will be involved with its allies. If we don't get it right, we risk a return with a much bigger challenge at hand.

Player of the Year: Kate Fahey of Rumson encountered little adversity while going 21-1 at first singles during her sophomore season and winning her second Monmouth County Tournament first singles title.
She tore through the MCT first singles bracket, advancing over all three flights without dropping a game.
She reached the final round at the state singles tournament, beating Madison Stevens of Pingry in straight sets before falling to top seeded Lexi Borr of Westfield. The 6-2, 6-1 loss for the championship were the only two sets Fahey dropped all year. She finished her sophomore campaign with a record of 42-2.
Fahey's only other loss occurred in the 2011 NJSIAA singles, when she fell in three sets to Taylor Ng of Haddonfield, the eventual champion, in the semifinal round.
Team of the Year: Holmdel's season highlight came in the form of a 3-2 loss.
"We were the closest anyone got to Haddonfield, other then Millburn," Holmdel coach Chuck Chelednik said of his squad's 3-2 loss to Haddonfield in the Group 2 semifinal. "We had nothing to lose. I was proud of them. Our doubles came at them in states."
Holmdel's 5-8 seeded Tiffany Huang and Lauren Byrket rebounded from an early exit to an unseeded Montgomery in the second round of the state doubles tournament on Oct. 13 with a 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) victory over the 2012 doubles champions Erica Pascocello and Arpie Senopoulos in the Group 2 tournament four days later. In the group semifinal, Byrket and Huang won Holmdel's first team point with 6-3, 7-6 (7-2) victory over Senopoulos and Pascocello. Teammates Sarah Yan and Nandini Krishnaswamy followed with the point at second doubles to get Holmdel within 3-2 of Haddonfield.
"I didn't expect them to win, we had just lost in the state doubles, and Haddonfield had just won it," Chelednik said. "So for us to come back and win both the doubles it was, it was nice. Our doubles were our strength most of the year - our depth."
Byrket and Huang led Holmdel to a 21-2 campaign and the Shore Conference Tournament title, the Monmouth County Tournament title and the Central Jersey Group 2 title.
Coach of the Year: With 21 years of experience at the helm of Manasquan girls tennis, coach Rod Ravaioli took his squad to a 15-6 finish with an appearance in the NJSIAA Central Jersey, Group 2 final and the quarterfinal round of the Shore Conference Tournament.
Drop Shots: Michelle Colucci came back from three sets down against Olivia Duddy at second singles to launch St. John Vianney over Rumson, 3-2, for its first appearance in the semifinal round of the Shore Conference Tournament in at least two decades...Rebecca Bauer and Jenna Giordano of Red Bank Catholic won the Monmouth County Tournament first-singles title with a wayward 2-6, 6-4, 10-6 victory over Holmdel's Tiffany Huang and Lauren Byrket. The triumph avenged a three set loss to Huang and Byrket from the first week of play. Jenna Pellegrino won the second singles title and led Red Bank Catholic with an 23-1-1 record.

Warren Buffett's track record and the performance of his conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B ) speaks for itself. No can question the high-quality businesses that he has assembled under one umbrella. AIG (NYSE: AIG ) , on the other hand, served as a prime example of a low-quality and poorly managed business during the financial crisis.
However, as AIG cleans itself up and looks toward the future, is its stock a more attractive long-term play than Buffett's giant? In this video, Motley Fool financials analysts David Hanson and Matt Koppenheffer debate which stock offers investors the most opportunity.
Thanks to the savvy of investing legend Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway's book value per share has grown a mind-blowing 586,817% over the past 48 years. But with Buffett aging and Berkshire rapidly evolving, is this insurance conglomerate still a buy today? In The Motley Fool's premium report on the company, Berkshire expert Joe Magyer provides investors with key reasons to buy as well as important risks to watch out for.

No answer from Freeview for those still without TV
We've had an overwhelming response from Pocket-lint readers after yesterday's 30 September Freeview retune did not go according to plan. Millions of people across the UK took to their set-top boxes for the channel migration and it was well known that many thousands would lose access to ITV3 and ITV4 and that a handful with a very limited number of specific pieces of hardware would also retune to nothing whatsoever. However, despite an excellent pre-retune information campaign and judging by the crashing of the Freeview website, the overloading of the retune helpline and cries for help, not just on our pages but all over the Internet, it has not gone according to plan.
Pocket-lint has tried to contact Freeview but no one has come forward to speak and tell the public what is going on. The only message that we have received is that, from Freeview's end, the transfer of the channels has gone smoothly and that the migration is complete. For users up and down the country commenting on Pocket-lint, though, it seems a very different story:
"Have tried again and again to retune both last night and this morning, still to no avail. The helpline number has been reduced to inane instructions - I know how to retune, pity that Freeview doesn't! It's still getting stuck halfway through the retune scan and I'm still missing the vast majority of channels. Can't wait for round two of this nonsense when analogue gets switched off!!! Anyone know where else to get information?" Posted by Claire Shepherd, NI
"I have lost ITV ITV3 5 and probably more. Rubbish idea by someone to force us to re-tune when we will have to change for complete digital soon. I gave up in the end and now have to switch to analogue for the missing stations of ITV and Five. Posted by Sarah, Washington, Tyne & Wear, England
"My god i feel like im going mad, I've also lost itv2 and lots more. I also phoned up and all the lady could say was "what do you want me to do about it", and that people will just have to wait till it comes back. Friendly or what? Posted by hayley, suffolk, England
"I live in Bayswater and am using inbuilt freeview (opposed to a separate box), and we seem to have lost ITV2+1 E4 and Sky (which was 82). Is anyone else having these problems?? THIS IS SO STUPID AND FRUSTRATING!!" Posted by LC, UK
There also appears to have been interference of the new signals in Northern Ireland by neighbouring transmissions from the Republic of Ireland which could even be something far more permanent:
"Retuned my Pace PVR - but got RTE1, RTE2, TV3,and TG4 on positions 1-4 instead of the usual BBC etc - however cannot see pictures as they are the wrong mpeg version - why are Irish channels interferring with our Freeview? Signals come from the Limavady Transmitter. (My Sony TV retuned perfectly and I get all available channels) Posted by Alan, Northern Ireland
Moving the whole nation's radio and TV channels was never going to be a hitch-free procedure. There are simply too many households and too many variables, but the helpline set up by Freeview has not been able to cope with the case-by-case complaints nor the volume of calls. The worst part is that it's a national rate number. According to the Telegraph, the helpline received 200 calls a minute yesterday. If that continued for even a few hours, that's potentially thousands of pounds of the public's money to the phone line of a not for profit organisation.
There is still no advice available from Freeview beyond calling the helpline or going to the retune website, while many round the country still struggle. As one Pocket-lint reader quite succinctly put it, "Is this a conspiracy to get us all to buy Sky?"
UPDATE: The official Freeview response has come in. Here it is in full:
1) Are there still any problems from Freeview's end or has the transfer 100% completed?
There were no problems with the upgrade to the Freeview service, which was completed on schedule, and viewers were advised to retune from lunchtime onwards. Earlier in the day, the TV retune website experienced a high volume of traffic but continued to provide retuning information throughout the day - at times using an overspill page which included a basic retuning guide.
2) There seem to be a number of people who do not have the problem equipment as listed on the Freeview site but have either lost more channels than they should have or continue to be unable to receive anything at all. Do you know why this might be and is there any chance that it is nothing to do with their set up at home; problems with transmitters etc
Viewers are advised to perform a full retune, sometimes called a 'first time installation' or 'factory reset', in order to pick up all available channels in their area. It is rare for people to lose channels but sometimes a second (or third) retune may be required to resolve these issues. They should also check all cables and connections are secure. If, after this, viewers are still missing channels, we would recommend they contact the manufacturer. All signals are broadcasting as expected.
3) What advice can you give to people who have followed all the steps as laid out on the Freeview site but are still experiencing problems?
It is difficult to provide specific advice without more details, such as the make and model of equipment, but if viewers have performed a full retune more than once and are still experiencing problems we would advise contacting their manufacturer or retailer.
4) It's obviously a very large operation to migrate all the channels and make sure the public retunes. Did you expect there to be as many problems as there has been?
Again, there were no problems with the upgrade to the service. Experience shows that the majority of people find retuning straightforward, but some viewers do need a little extra advice. Help with retuning is available on the tvretune.co.uk website and via a helpline on 08456 051122. Viewers can also get advice on retuning from family and friends or their local retailer.
5) Many people have been getting an automated message on the help line which doesn't seem to help in many cases. Will you be setting up a problem solving line for case by case situations?
At peak times yesterday, a team of more than 300 advisors, backed up by recorded retune instructions, were helping several hundred callers a minute. We would recommend that viewers with specific equipment issues contact the manufacturer or retailer.

Encouraging children to eat healthily
Studies have revealed that taking a balanced approach to making a meal could encourage children to eat a more balanced diet and improve their development. Two sets of research by Dr Brian Wansink, the John Dyson Professor of Consumer Behaviour at Cornell University have found empowering youngsters' culinary creativity can help them learn to love their vegetables.
Dr Wansink, President of the Society for Nutrition Education and Behaviour, conducted the Birds Eye-funded analysis on finding new strategies for parents looking to encourage their sons and daughters to eat more greens.
The findings revealed vegetables help make a meal look more complete and the presence of these foodstuffs on a plate made preparers appear more attentive and thoughtful.
Furthermore, the research shows too many parents stop trying to make their little ones consume their five-a-day, even giving up on the vegetables they do enjoy, potentially laying the foundations for a poor diet.
Dr Gillian Harris, a Chartered Psychologist from the University of Birmingham, said: "The key to improving a young child's intake of new foods, or foods that they are a little unwilling to eat, is to have the foods on show at mealtimes, so that the child not only sees the foods but also sees other adults and children eating the food.
"Once the food is on the table and others are eating it then gently prompting the child to try the food is generally successful in the long run in getting the child to put the food in their mouth.
"However, parents themselves do have to keep eating, and providing, the foods that are healthy for their child to eat.
"Both of these studies add to these concepts, having the vegetables on the plate will expose the child to the sight of the food and increase likely intake.
"If parents don't provide healthy food and prompt their child to eat it then they are not likely to be able to include it in their diet."

There were no substantive changes in position by either side Monday, which meant a deal-completion deadline -- imposed by Pacquiao's promoter, Top Rank Inc. -- went unsatisfied.
Bob Arum, Top Rank's CEO, said he is ready Tuesday to announce an alternative opponent for Pacquiao on the March 13 date, originally earmarked for Mayweather-Pacquiao, presumably either Paulie Malignaggi or Yuri Foreman.
That means the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would be delayed at least until late 2010, if it happens at all, leaving the boxing world unsatisfied after all negotiating points except the drug-testing format were resolved.
The Mayweather camp demanded random Olympic-style blood testing.
The Pacquiao camp initially agreed to a set schedule of blood testing, but not full random testing and none whatsoever within 30 days of the fight, then later pulled that possibility off the table.
Pacquiao, through Arum and his own Web site, has said he is concerned about being weakened if blood is drawn within 30 days of the fight.
The Mayweather camp leaped on that claim in a press
release as Monday's deadline approached, noting that Pacquiao "did have
blood taken just 14 days prior to his fight with Ricky Hatton, an event
which was documented on HBO's 24/7 reality show."
In what seemed not exactly coincidental, the Nevada Athletic Commission -- the body that would have regulatory authority over Mayweather-Pacquiao if it happened in Las Vegas, as planned -- ordered both fighters on Monday to undergo a random urine test this week.
Executive director Keith Kizer noted that the commission follows the World Anti-Doping Association and U.S. Anti-Doping Association format for out-of-competition testing for banned substances with its licensees, and the commission ordered Mayweather and Pacquiao to participate.
"Both of those guys need to go in this week, in their respective hometowns, and get a urine test done," Kizer said. "Whether that will help or hurt or have no effect on the fight, I don't know. But that's not really our issue. Our issue is making sure these guys are clean, in competition as well as out of competition."
Kizer said he is comfortable with urine testing as the base drug-testing format used by the Nevada commission.
He expressed some skepticism that short-term blood testing would
produce a reliable result for detecting either HGH or EPO, for which
there are no reliable urine tests, because those substances are
naturally produced and vary widely from one individual to another.
Reliable blood testing for those substances typically requires frequent testing to establish each individual's base line, after which deviations from those levels can be detected.
"The USADA has been able to catch some big names over the years. They caught Ben Johnson. We caught Fernando Vargas," Kizer said. "But occasionally, they'll find something where they'll miss it, like they did with Marion Jones, and we missed it with Shane Mosley, with the cream and the clear. But that was something that it didn't matter who tested, it could be the Olympics, it could be us, it didn't matter."
Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's adviser, noted that the Grand Rapids
native's camp was amenable to having USADA or another mutually
agreeable, certified laboratory with similar qualifications and
technology administer and monitor the random blood testing.

"This is a deal point and that's that," Ellerbe said.
Ellerbe said he maintained hope that Arum backs off the deadline,
although the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight will be dead today if Top Rank
actually announces an alternative opponent for Pacquiao.
"Our focus is still on this fight," Ellerbe said. "I still have every belief that Manny Pacquiao is going to step up. I can't imagine him walking away over blood testing. I can't imagine it."

More interior shots … and a look at the menu reveals chicken and waffles!By Daniel Maurer
Ryan Angulo, the talented chef de cuisine who has helped Chris Santos make Stanton Social such a hit, is taking his knives and heading off to make his own show in Carroll Gardens. The as-yet-unnamed restaurant will be going in to 458 Court Street, down the street* from Frankies 457 Spuntino, and aims to serve "upscale, well-developed food that's still kind of casual fine dining without being fine dining," Angulo tells us, mentioning Prune, Frankies, and San Francisco's Zuni Café as models for the kind of thing he wants to do. "We don't want to price anybody out. We want to make sure to get the neighborhood clientele included." The place is looking at a possible mid-March/early-April opening. *Correction: The original version of this item said Angulo's restaurant would be across the street from Frankie's 457.

You're making a lot of sense, and I think anyone would understand whay you're unhappy.
You're fighting a tough battle, but you're winning the war, even if it sometimes doesn't seem that way. You're having a setback, but all things change. I think they'll get better.
Thank you :o)
It means a lot.
My inability to concentrate and the impact it was having on my work continuity was what originally sent me to the shrink's office. It's a terrible thing to know you're more than capable of doing something yet feel fogged and incapable of doing it on demand. In my case, ADD (primarily inattentive) and Bipolar 2 were the diagnosis. I'm still not sure where one ends and the other begins or if ADD is 'merely' one of the symptom of bipolar. Adderall worked brilliantly for a while. And then it stopped.
Hi, we haven't officially 'met' before - i spent the last two years on lamictal, what you're describing really jumped out at me and i can so totally relate. I remember having these moments of real resentment and feeling that some of the most useful bits of my mind seemed to be being robbed from me? NO (short term) memory. I figure, often, it's like 35% of my daily energy is used up just trying to 'manage' it all before I even get started? So - even though am out there working hard to have productive and meaningful life, noone ever really seems to understand how much work goes into it. Think we should have alot more kudo's for that. Anyways, just wanted to say hey, and hi, and one foot in front of the other type stuff...:)

Having returned from eight heavenly days in Cyprus, I literally had to be pulled out of my hotel after hearing that Jamie Carragher would be arriving three days later. I learnt much about my mucatanim, especially brother-in-law to be, Jon Tiller. He and my father-in-law, Stephen Lerner, were undoubtedly the characters of the trip with the pair joint-winners of the best sunburn and disappearing act awards.
Smasher Lerner almost got swallowed up by a poolside umbrella and raised eyebrows after getting stuck on the waterslide.
Tiller, the former Veras and Talksport keeper, kicked up a fuss when I put on my Barcelona top to watch the Champions League final. Mr Fidget was still bitter about his beloved Chelsea's controversial exit in the semi-finals but he should be used to losing after Andrew Lerner, my brother-in-law, beat him at poker as did I at tennis.
Things got so bad for Jon that he threatened to cancel his wedding to Hayley Lerner if she beat him on court four. Hayley also has painful memories of Limassol, limping away from a body-conditioning class with a John Wayne walk.
Andrew, the former Sutlu Borek and Faithfold defender, proved that he has still got it after impressing at five-a-side. His fear of mushrooms is most amusing but that should not stop a string of big name clubs coming in for him over the summer.
I rubbed shoulders with Nottingham Forest striker Nathan Tyson whose daughters Beth and Lola befriended my daughter. At five-and-a-half, I was proud that my Ella was the star of the aqua aerobics class.
My youngest, Jacob, won biggest flirt title. At three-and-a-half, he is clearly a chip off the block, trying to attract anything in a skirt though I must admit he had a much better success rate. My mother-in-law, Gill Lerner, was treated like royalty by Andreas, the senior statesman of the dining room, as he gave her bucks fizz for breakfast.
I did my best to maintain a rigorous exercise routine that included daily visits to the gym, football, tennis and aqua aerobics.
A group of Everton fans had their FA Cup final blues eased when they copped an eyeful at Team GB's netball car wash marathon in Elstree. In my first taste of the sport, I scored nine nets in a minute.
Temple Fortune Old Boys A beat the Bs to win the sixth and final Jack Kyte Challenge Cup. Ollie Squires and Steve Feiger netted for the Bs with Simon Allen and Yali Mamouri replying. Veterans Jeremy Fess and Feiger missed penalties in the shootout. Keeper Adam Glekin won the club's Player of the Year. Hendon Hawks Under Nine's ended their season with a trip to Wembley for a behind-the-scenes tour followed by a meal at the White House.
Spurs fan DJ Neal Cohen will meet his match on Sunday as he ties the knot with his sweetheart Shelley 'the Gooner' Brown. The Zig Zag boss was unsuccessful in his bid to combine the simcha with the team's end of season bash. The main event is at Mill Hill shul before the party continues at Sopwell House.
The JC MSFL Player of the Year will be named at the end-of-season awards on Monday night. My money would be on NW Neasden A's Daniel Levenfiche or Scott Shindler.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of E-House (NYSE: EJ ) , a real estate agency and information services company in China, jumped as much as 19% after reporting its second-quarter earnings results. Shares have since rescinded most of their gains and are now up just 2%.
So what: For the quarter, E-House delivered a 43% increase in revenue to $163.4 million with real estate online revenue providing the biggest pop, up 79%! Non-GAAP net income rose by a more impressive 127%, although with more shares outstanding, EPS rose by a little less than double to $0.11 from $0.06 in the year-ago period. Comparatively speaking, E-House crushed the Street's expectations, which had called for revenue of $135.8 million and EPS of $0.06. Furthermore, E-House yet again upped its full-year revenue forecast from a previous projection of $600 million to its new guidance of $630 million, representing 36% year-over-year growth. The current consensus on the Street had been for $594.8 million in revenue.
Now what: This was certainly a strong quarter, everything considered. I was concerned that a slowdown in China's GDP growth might trickle down to first-time homebuyers and investors in China, potentially harming the housing market -- but apparently that's not happening. E-House ended the quarter with no debt and $188 million in cash, which is also something I definitely love to see. Although its forward P/E of 13 isn't particularly expensive, the 40% run-up in shares this week before its earnings report gives me enough reason to wait for a pullback before suggesting you dig deeper into E-House.

Nokia Lumia 1020: official samples from the 41-megapixel camera
0. phoneArena 11 Jul 2013, 11:10 posted on
The first official camera samples from the amazing 41-megapixel camera on the Nokia Lumia 1020 are out and they are just mind-blowing…
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Amazing !!! Vivid pictures..
13. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
Yes, from the live stream video, at the time the woman shot those flowers, I can be sure that the color is continuing toyish like other Lumias
16. icyrock1 (Posts: 307; Member since: 25 Mar 2013)
I agree. Normally, I don't care or use smartphone camera's, but these pictures are amazing.
Though, it makes me wonder if it's has durable has the 920 or if the new camera sensor makes it more vulnerable to damage?
43. microsoftnokiawin (Posts: 1178; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
i highly doubt it as the 808 pureview was pretty durable i don;t see why this should be an exception as it is an upgrade from the 808 also the sensor is protected and probably insulated so it should be good ^_^
2. Jay2ice (Posts: 13; Member since: 15 Jun 2012)
Jeeeez! I'm getting this no doubt.
3. Commentator (Posts: 3684; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Hooray vandalism! Great pics though.

Night shots have minimal noise and great detail..
Competitors DooMed !
7. sorcio46 (Posts: 435; Member since: 27 Jul 2011)
Like if the camera is the most important part in a smartphone, SGS4 (or even HTC One or LG O2) has a worse camera (maybe?) but for sure in everything else wins hands down against this rebranded Lumia 920 ;-)
If I want to take awesome pictures my reflex is made for that, if you are buying that phone (there no others updates from the old device) ONLY for the camera, than you should consider a real camera cause the Lumia 925 or the Lumia 920 are very close in everything else to their new rebrand
11. jlp34876 (Posts: 80; Member since: 02 Dec 2012)
Lumia 920 is not even close to the 1020 i dont know what pics you're looking right now.
26. sorcio46 (Posts: 435; Member since: 27 Jul 2011)
In everything else is exactly the same device
67. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Actually it's more like the 925: AMOLED screen, thinner, improves battery management, etc. Only resemblance to the 920 is the color palette.
5. smallworld (Posts: 484; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
I still prefer a phone that is excellent everywhere rather than a good camera in a bad smartphone.
8. jlp34876 (Posts: 80; Member since: 02 Dec 2012)
Well they are not a bad smartphone, they will still do the job but not in terms of androids/ios do.
14. raunak (Posts: 507; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
Just so you know, Lumia 920 was as fast as S4 in a video comparison I saw on YT. You can search it i'm pretty sure there are many. S4 was faster in half the things and 920 faster in others.
The only thing holding this phone back is a 1080 display.
15. kobainez (Posts: 429; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
lumia 720p vs GS4 1080p big difference
18. raunak (Posts: 507; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
not as big as a quad core a15 vs dual core krait.
19. shikroi (Posts: 187; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
A difference many can't see barring a magnifying apparatus.
22. bigstrudel (Posts: 518; Member since: 20 Aug 2012)
Just 6 months ago when everyone had 720p phones almost everybody was calling 1080p overkill for a smartphone and a waste of processing power.
64. Edmund (Posts: 656; Member since: 13 Jul 2012)
1080p is overkill for the majority of the population. I'd say less than 1% of phone users couldn't give a flying fart about high end specs, but it's that 1% that manufacturers rely on to turn a profit each quarter.
74. phonemirer (Posts: 111; Member since: 07 Dec 2012)
its actually 768p (332 ppi wich is best for a phone) also it has dual s4 pro and adreno 225 while s4 has dual quad(exynos 5) or quad (s600 or s800) and adreno 320 wich is 3x better than 225 also multitasking sucks because of the stupid invincible apps that revive after a moment and end up consuming ram,performance and battery
28. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
thing is it's actually a pretty decent smartphone too, you just have to like WP.
a lot of people at my work like WP and they're pretty excited about this.
68. -box- (Posts: 3991; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
Um, it IS excellent everywhere.
Congratulations, you are now a future Lumia 1020 owner

I can't stand WP, I find it horrible to use.
BUT these photos! OMG, just look at those photos!!! They're stunning even when fully zoomed in! I wanna get this phone just for the camera...
58. ianbbaa (Posts: 305; Member since: 20 Mar 2013)
...i believe a lot of people will consider N1020 because of its camera...so WP numbers, relevance and interest is (will) grooving rapidly.
Days when people got iPhone because of quality lens are gone...
look at the pic11, have you ever seen a bit of "bokeh" in any other phone camera??? Even some of the small compacts are not able to do this...
I have DSLR, but not taking everywhere with me...this might be a good companion to it - you know, portability. I do not carry my bag with heavy DSLR body with 2-3 lenses everywhere.
24. Troysyx (Posts: 177; Member since: 30 Jul 2012)
I hope Nokia knows that its losing so many potential customers. I would buy this phone in a heartbeat with such an amazing camera, that thing is ridiculous! However, i will never buy a windows phone.
32. shikroi (Posts: 187; Member since: 24 Sep 2012)
The issue I have is the price.
45. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
IKR! I would love to have this camera, but I'm not going to a Windows Phone. At least not in the foreseeable future anyways. Really nice work!

if it's better, and it is, Nokia haters will be salivating in silence toying their androlags.
Wait for more pics and videos made by owners
Simply amazing.

Still gt honami. Can't claim 1020 king yet. Wait for honami to release first and don't reply me like an angry nokia fan
33. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
do I? You're waiting for honami. I've already got my treasure. And be honest. If honami come close to this monster it will be impressive. But only a bit. remember that Nokia developed this tech for a mobile phone, didn't take a camera and change it into a smartphone.
38. kobainez (Posts: 429; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
If 1020 is better than honami when honami officially comes out I will admit that nokia is the king of smartphone camera. I just need to wait for both to come out first to make a judgement
49. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
fair enough:)

That's the point!
#NokiaEpicFail when you can take the Lumia 920 for 300+€ LESS!
Maybe in the future they will do only cameras that can do calls and sms

adding just few extra bucks will make 920 that also without contract
And atlast everything is same
Software or hardware
we need more than a camera

If you need more than a camera go get yourself an S4 cause you seem to be so green with envy repeating yourself in every post. Just maybe your Android is missing out something and you're so afraid to admit it.
And for your information 920 does not have lossless zoom. This is the amalgamation of 920 and 808 pureview; the perfect camera ever made on a phone.

you may want but you won´t be given
50. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
you´re a Nokia hater so why whining if you´re not going to buy any?
Nokia has done its best. Only os limited their creativity. But it will change when gdr3 will be unveiled. Nokia showed they can use their amazing tech on the new platform and now it´s going to be only better.
And I repeat again...what for put some humongus cpu and gpu if os and even this monstrous camera work flawlessly???? Give me one good reason without showing off.

What is ur problem man??
I am the buyer
Who r u to stop what i want and what i need??
i am the one who has to pay and then i have to be the one who has to ask what i need in a smartphone
If i want a wp to act same like an android
Then this is my demand and i am keeping this in front of nokia or ms
Because once again atlast i am the one who will spend on it
If u r going to spend on my behalf then i wont utter a single word

my problem are people like you. Always unhappy, always pain in the 4 letters. Thks is wring, that is incorrect. Instead of enjoying tech which is undoubtely groundbreaking you prefer grudging.
If you whine about it I safely assumed you weren´t going to buy this device. They are not going to change into ´make a wish´ foundation because of such frustrated and always unhappy andro users like you. Get over it. Does your precious samsung always listen to the customers.. No.

The only reason to purchase this phone is for the camera. In that case, I can purchase a DSLR and just take even better pictures with it, for around the same price. Other than that, it really is just a regurgitated Lumia 900 series. They didn't go above and beyond making their phone top notch in any other hardware aspect other than the camera. Which is not good enough. There are plenty of competing smartphones with camera modules that handle themselves well enough, while doing pretty much everything else better.

They could have come up with new unique features
All same as 920
was expecting a lot from a flagship device

The best camera is the one you always have with you.

Listen to This nokia please
At the time of advertisement
What will u tell customers??
Again main focus on camera?
The people who are commenting here
Only those people are in real tech world
But how will u insist those people , with the same old hardware and software which are outside phonearena??
everything same??
Samsung when make advertisements they show use of their GIMMICK features(may be not for use)
But a vast of population is attracted
55. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
yes, this stupid part of population who believe that additional 2 cores or smart feats will make their life easier. Instead of enjoying fluid experience you want more and more only because oems say so.

First of all if u say those millions and billions are stupid then i think u r stupid
Because u cant force anyone to buy lumia
Everyone has its own approachnd likings
What do u think if u r using lumia then u r genius and others r stupid??
Joke joke joke
