Tom Randall, the American pastor and missionary held in connection with human trafficking at a Filipino orphanage he founded, is back in Ohio after three weeks behind bars.
Thirty-one orphans said they were routinely raped at the orphanage, the Christian Post reported.
But Joe Coffey, lead pastor at Randall's church, expressed doubts the Ohio pastor had played any role in the alleged abuse.
"There is no indication that he has done anything wrong so we just want him released," Coffey said.
According to Randall's Facebook page, all charges against him have been dropped.
Liberty law professor and child abuse expert Boz Tchvidjian told CBN News that he hopes the focus now will turn to helping the victims and working with investigators in the case.
"The leadership of the orphanage has a legal and moral duty to fully cooperate with that and to communicate publicly, to let people know that we are grieved by these allegations, by the very thought that these precious children may have been hurt and abused in our care," Tchvidjian said.
Coffey expressed similar sentiments in a statement on Facebook.
"We remain concerned for the orphans without a home to return to in Lucena City, and will do all we can to care for them," he said.

I've tried a wholebunch of different sizes and formats. I can see other pe0ples images (mostly, still see X's every now and then) but not mine.
IIs it just stupid IE8 issue or a stupid noob at keyboard?
Doesn't happpen on my end. Using IE8 on one comp and FF on the other.
Damn I suck!!!!
Thanks I'll give it a try

Tell your contacts where you sent your g-mail from
The Google Gmail-team has announced yet another feature for Gmail users. Now you can automatically add your location to the signature of your e-mail. With that you can tell your receivers where you are at the moment you send the e-mail.
You can compare the feature to the 'time-stamp' a lot of e-mail systems provide or the 'sent from my iPhone' or 'Sent from my Blackberry' the mobile devices have. It seems a nice feature but whether it's really useful?
The feature will probably be used most by those who travel a lot and like to show it off. However there is a glitch to the feature. The feature uses your IP address it may not always be accurate. Using the wifi on Heathrow Airport in London for example may let your receivers think you are in Germany. If you use Gears in your browser this should be resolved. Then again for those who want people to think they are in a different place than they actually are this inaccuracy can be useful.
To activate the feature, turn on Location in Signature from the Labs tab under Settings, then go to your signature preferences and check the box next to "Append your location to the signature.". I'm in Holland right now but I cannot turn on this feature yet so likely this is launched only in the UK-version.

While it is appropriate that action is being taken by the Reserve Bank to investigate the management of African Bank, it is critical that the National Credit Regulator also take action to ensure that any loans that were granted to consumers who were already in default of their payment obligations, are declared reckless by a court and legally written off.
The Reserve Bank investigation will focus on whether the business of African Bank was conducted recklessly, negligently or with the intent to defraud depositors or creditors.
Just as importantly, a second investigation is required to determine whether or not the loans made by African Bank were legally reckless and therefore unenforceable.
To start with, the National Credit Regulator should be investigating whether or not loans were granted to borrowers who were already in default of their payment obligations.
Clearly the prospect that a significant part of African Bank's key asset, their debtor's book, could be scrapped and rendered uncollectable raises concerns for the wider consumer credit market.
It is of vital consequence for consumers who are battling to pay their debts, many of which were likely granted recklessly.
Until this sword of Damocles is removed by the National Credit Regulator there will be a significant regulatory overhang, a veritable cliff over which all credit providers will be looking.

The performance needs of software vary, but it's probably not surprising that many applications have very stringent speed requirements. Video players are a good example: a video player is not much use if it can only play a video at 75 percent of the required speed.
Other applications, such as video encoding, are lengthy operations that are best run "batch" style, where you start a job and leave it running while you go do something else. Although these types of applications don't have such hard performance limits, increasing speed will still bring benefits, such as being able to encode more videos over a given period and being able to encode at a higher quality in the same time.
In general, for all but the simplest applications, the better the performance, the more useful and popular the application will be. For this reason, performance considerations are (or should be) in the forefront of many application developers' minds.
Unfortunately, much of the effort that is expended attempting to make applications faster is wasted, because developers will often micro-optimize their software without fully exploring how the program operates at a macro scale. For instance, you might spend a large amount of time making a particular function run twice as fast, which is all well and good, but if that function is called very rarely (when a file is opened, say) then reducing the execution time from 200ms to 100ms isn't going to make much difference to the overall execution time of the software.
A more fruitful use of your time would be spent optimizing those parts of the software that are called more frequently. For example, if the application spends 50 percent of its time in string-handling functions and if you can optimize these functions by 10 percent, this will yield a 5 percent overall improvement in the application's execution time.
It is therefore vital that you have accurate information on exactly where the time is being spent within your applications -- and for real input data -- if you hope to have a chance of optimizing it effectively. This activity is called code profiling. This article introduces a profiling tool provided with the GNU compiler tool chain, the imaginatively named GNU profiler (gprof), for those who are relatively new to open source development tools.
Before I race off and explain how to use gprof, it's important to know where in the development cycle profiling should take place. In general, code should be written with the following three goals, in order of importance:
- Make the software work correctly. This must always be the focus of development. In general, there is no point writing software that is very fast if it does not do what it is supposed to! Obviously, correctness is something of a grey area; a video player that works on 99 percent of your files or plays video with the occasional visual glitch is still of some use, but in general, correctness is more important than speed.
- Make the software maintainable. This is really a sub-point of the first goal. In general, if software is not written to be maintainable, then even if it works to begin with, sooner or later you (or someone else) will end up breaking it trying to fix bugs or add new features.
- Make the software fast. Here is where profiling comes in. Once the software is working correctly, then start profiling to help it run more quickly.
Assuming you are in the position of having a working application, let's look at how to use gprof to accurately measure where time is being spent during the application's execution in order to gain clues as to where your optimizing efforts would be most profitably spent.
gprof can profile C, C++, Pascal, and Fortran 77 applications. The examples here use C.
Listing 1. Sample time-wasting application
#include <stdio.h> int a(void) { int i=0,g=0; while(i++<100000) { g+=i; } return g; } int b(void) { int i=0,g=0; while(i++<400000) { g+=i; } return g; } int main(int argc, char** argv) { int iterations; if(argc != 2) { printf("Usage %s <No of Iterations>\n", argv[0]); exit(-1); } else iterations = atoi(argv[1]); printf("No of iterations = %d\n", iterations); while(iterations--) { a(); b(); } }
As you can see from the code, this very simple app includes two functions,
a and
b, both of which sit in busy loops wasting CPU cycles. The
main function just sits in a loop calling each of these functions. The second function,
b, loops four times more than
a, so you would expect that once you've profiled the code, it should spend approximately 20 percent of its time in
a and 80 percent in
b. Let's enable profiling and see if those expectations are correct.
Enabling profiling is as simple as adding
-pg to the gcc compile flags. Compile as follows:
gcc example1.c -pg -o example1 -O2 -lc
Once you have built the application, simply run it as normal:
./example1 50000
Once this completes, you should see a file called gmon.out created in the current directory.
First look at the "flat profile," which you obtain with the
gprof command, passing the executable itself and the gmon.out file as follows:
gprof example1 gmon.out -p
Which outputs the following:
Listing 2. Results of flat profile
Flat profile: Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds. % cumulative self self total time seconds seconds calls ms/call ms/call name 80.24 63.85 63.85 50000 1.28 1.28 b 20.26 79.97 16.12 50000 0.32 0.32 a
You can see from this output that, as expected, approximately four times as much time is spent in
b as is spent in
a. The actual numbers are not very useful; they tend to be very inaccurate due to rounding errors.
Astute readers will notice that many of the functions called (such as
printf) are missing from the output. This is because they reside within the C runtime library (libc.so), which was not (in this case) compiled with
-pg and, hence, no profiling is gathered for any functions within this library. I will return to this below.
Next you might like to see the "call graph," which you obtain as follows:
gprof example1 gmon.out -q
Which outputs the following:
Listing 3. Call graph
Call graph (explanation follows) granularity: each sample hit covers 2 byte(s) for 0.01% of 79.97 seconds index % time self children called name <spontaneous> [1] 100.0 0.00 79.97 main [1] 63.85 0.00 50000/50000 b [2] 16.12 0.00 50000/50000 a [3] ----------------------------------------------- 63.85 0.00 50000/50000 main [1] [2] 79.8 63.85 0.00 50000 b [2] ----------------------------------------------- 16.12 0.00 50000/50000 main [1] [3] 20.2 16.12 0.00 50000 a [3] -----------------------------------------------
Finally, you might want to have an "annotated source" listing, which prints out the source code to the application, with notes on how many times each function is called.
To use this function, compile the source with debugging enabled so that the source is put into the executable:
gcc example1.c -g -pg -o example1 -O2 -lc
Re-run the application as before:
./example1 50000
gprof command is now:
gprof example1 gmon.out -A
This outputs the following:
Listing 4. Annotated source
*** File /home/martynh/profarticle/example1.c: #include <stdio.h> 50000 -> int a(void) { int i=0,g=0; while(i++<100000) { g+=i; } return g; } 50000 -> int b(void) { int i=0,g=0; while(i++<400000) { g+=i; } return g; } int main(int argc, char** argv) ##### -> { int iterations; if(argc != 2) { printf("Usage %s <No of Iterations>\n", argv[0]); exit(-1); } else iterations = atoi(argv[1]); printf("No of iterations = %d\n", iterations); while(iterations--) { a(); b(); } } Top 10 Lines: Line Count 3 50000 11 50000 Execution Summary: 3 Executable lines in this file 3 Lines executed 100.00 Percent of the file executed 100000 Total number of line executions 33333.33 Average executions per line
As I alluded to earlier, profiling support is added by the compiler, so if you wish to obtain profiling information from any shared libraries, including the C library (libc.a), you need to also compile them with
-pg. Luckily, many distributions ship with a version of the C library already compiled with profiling support (libc_p.a).
In the case of the distribution I use, gentoo, you need to add "profile" to your USE flags and re-
emerge glibc. Once this finishes, you should see that /usr/lib/libc_p.a has been created. For distributions that do not ship with a libc_p as standard, you will need to check if it is installable separately, or you might need to download the glibc source and build it yourself.
Once you have a libc_p.a file, you can simply rebuild your example like so:
gcc example1.c -g -pg -o example1 -O2 -lc_p
If you then re-run the application as before and obtain a flat profile or a call graph, you should see lots of C runtime functions including
printf (none of which are significant in our test program).
Now that you know how to use gprof, you can very simply and effectively profile your applications to analyze, and hopefully remove, performance bottlenecks.
However, you might have noticed by now one of gprof's biggest limitations: it only profiles user time while the application is running. Typically, applications spend some of their time in user code and some in "system code," such as kernel system calls.
If you modify Listing 1 slightly, you can see the problem clearly:
Listing 5. Adding system calls to Listing 1
#include <stdio.h> int a(void) { sleep(1); return 0; } int b(void) { sleep(4); return 0; } int main(int argc, char** argv) { int iterations; if(argc != 2) { printf("Usage %s <No of Iterations>\n", argv[0]); exit(-1); } else iterations = atoi(argv[1]); printf("No of iterations = %d\n", iterations); while(iterations--) { a(); b(); } }
As you can see, I have modified the code so that rather than sitting in busy loops,
a and
b instead call the C-runtime function
sleep to suspend execution for 1 and 4 seconds, respectively.
Compile this application as before:
gcc example2.c -g -pg -o example2 -O2 -lc_p
and execute it to loop 30 times:
./example2 30
The resulting flat profile shows the following:
Listing 6. Flat profile showing system calls
Flat profile: Each sample counts as 0.01 seconds. no time accumulated % cumulative self self total time seconds seconds calls Ts/call Ts/call name 0.00 0.00 0.00 120 0.00 0.00 sigprocmask 0.00 0.00 0.00 61 0.00 0.00 __libc_sigaction 0.00 0.00 0.00 61 0.00 0.00 sigaction 0.00 0.00 0.00 60 0.00 0.00 nanosleep 0.00 0.00 0.00 60 0.00 0.00 sleep 0.00 0.00 0.00 30 0.00 0.00 a 0.00 0.00 0.00 30 0.00 0.00 b 0.00 0.00 0.00 21 0.00 0.00 _IO_file_overflow 0.00 0.00 0.00 3 0.00 0.00 _IO_new_file_xsputn 0.00 0.00 0.00 2 0.00 0.00 _IO_new_do_write 0.00 0.00 0.00 2 0.00 0.00 __find_specmb 0.00 0.00 0.00 2 0.00 0.00 __guard_setup 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 _IO_default_xsputn 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 _IO_doallocbuf 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 _IO_file_doallocate 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 _IO_file_stat 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 _IO_file_write 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 _IO_setb 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 ____strtol_l_internal 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 ___fxstat64 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 __cxa_atexit 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 __errno_location 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 __new_exitfn 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 __strtol_internal 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 _itoa_word 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 _mcleanup 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 atexit 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 atoi 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 exit 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 flockfile 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 funlockfile 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 main 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 mmap 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 moncontrol 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 new_do_write 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 printf 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 setitimer 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 vfprintf 0.00 0.00 0.00 1 0.00 0.00 write
If you analyze the output, you can see that, although the profiler has registered the correct number of times each function has been called, the time registered for these functions (and indeed all functions) is 0.00. This is because the
sleep function actually makes a call into kernel space to suspend the application and then effectively halts the execution and waits for the kernel to wake it up again. As the total amount of time executing in user space is tiny compared to the time spent sleeping in kernel space, it gets rounded to zero. The reason for this is that gprof works by instrumenting the program such that measurements are taken at fixed intervals of the program's run time. Therefore, no measurements are taken while the program is not running.
This is really a mixed blessing. On the one hand, it makes it difficult to optimize applications that spend most of their time in kernel space or that run slowly due to external factors such as overloading the operating system's I/O subsystem. On the other hand, it means profiling is not affected by anything else occurring on the system (such as another user using lots of CPU time).
In general, a good benchmark for seeing how useful gprof will be in helping you optimize your application is to run it under the
time command. This command notes how long it takes for an application to complete and also measures how long it spends in user space and in kernel space.
If you look at the Listing 2 example:
time ./example2 30
This outputs the following:
Listing 7. Output of time command
No of iterations = 30 real 2m30.295s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.004s
You can see that approximately no time is spent executing code in user space, so gprof will not really be useful here.
Despite the limitations outlined above, gprof can be a very useful tool for optimizing your code, particularly if your code is generally CPU bound in user space. It is usually a good idea to run your application under
time first to determine if gprof is likely to yield useful information.
If gprof is not suitable for your profiling needs, a number of alternatives overcome some of gprof's limitations, including OProfile and Sysprof (see Resources for links to more information on these tools).
On the other hand -- assuming you have gcc installed -- one of the main advantages of gprof over the alternatives is that you most likely already have it installed on any Linux machine you use.
For more information on using gprof, read the GNU profiler manual.

ROME - They twirled, they sniffed, they slurped, they chewed.
The dozen homemakers who gathered at a Rome hotel on a recent afternoon took their work terribly seriously, rating plates of pasta for chewiness, saltiness, gumminess, or done-ness - that perfect balance known as al dente, or firm to the bite.
Pasta is serious business in Italy, and the recent blind taste test by the world's biggest pasta-maker drove home that an awful lot of thought goes into making the simple combination of durum wheat semolina and water from which Italy's national dish is made.
"The simpler it is, the more testing it takes," said Stefania Fochi, in charge of consumer testing for the market leader Barilla, which organized the taste test.

PC Mag says Apple iPhone 5 is the fastest smartphone in the land

This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
134. Non_Sequitur (Posts: 1111; Member since: 16 Mar 2012)
Ah, I never thought of it that way. Thanks!
Jelly Bean is still beastly and feature packed as well as smooth, and iOS is really smooth (with limitations).
Still rather have Android, but Apple has done pretty well this round.
83. Hemlocke (unregistered)
Not true. While I have had issues with various Android builds, and certainly various Android handsets, they are not all pathetic. The One S is speedy, thin, and a great little handset. The GNex is almost a year old, and Jelly Bean turned it into a new phone. The HTC One X is nice, gorgeous screen, and with an AOSP-based ROM, pretty quick. I hated the build quality on my i9300, but the phone is plenty fast, especially with TouchWiz.
126. remtothemax (Posts: 260; Member since: 02 May 2012)
the android market just moves differently
it doesn't make it inferior to the iphone upgrade cycle
your comment doesn't say anything of value
you are wasting everyone's time
57. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
GSM Arena shows the GS3 beating the Iphone 5 in geekbench not to mention the results in the various GLbenchmarks were different and considerably higher, I trust them more than some idiots than unilaterally declare the Iphone 5 the fastest without disclaimers that you can't really compare effectively how fast Iphone really is unless you run Android on it, OS differences give different results

Even though you might not see this you really are incredibly stupid, why do custom ROMS get higher benchmarks even with stock frequencies you f**king ingrate!!!?? Even browser benchmarks fyi I get varying scores and the better optimized the ROM the higher scores I get, get your head out your ass

Half-Baked iOs that dosent run any apps at the back-ground along where the ios dosen't need that much cpu to push it's system, and having around 800MB of RAM left, why wouldn't this app launcher iOs get high scores...
Comparing the Half-Baked iOs to a full LINUX.

SGSIII is faster even in this iOS based benchmark, PC Mag wrote wrong results:http://browser.primatelabs.com

my problem is i remember when the Xperia TX and V out scored every phone, including the galaxy S3, nobody was proclaiming them to be the "fastest phone in the world" ....Now where they?
129. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
These benchmark really offer nothing to the real world day to day use. Right now it's called passification the need to make apple feel they have the best device on the market. People with Galaxy S3 devices already know our device has been the top device on the market since June 21st 2012 here in the States and since May abroad. This device is the ONLY DEVICE on the market with 2gb of ram nothing else compares GPU wise. Nice try to pander to apple heads that's just like saying whatever needs to be said while runnign a campaign simular to our friend Mr. Mitt Romney.. Pandering my satisfy apple heads but we on android already know what the best device is because we brought it in June and will be buying it again come November when the Galaxy Note 2 comes out. Apple products are and always will be an after thought..
164. ph00ny (Posts: 1233; Member since: 26 May 2011)
Gimped version being compared against the new iphone?
Why not mix quadcore versions of the phones into the mix?
2. iphoneWOW (banned) (Posts: 3; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
I guess with the benchmarks all these fandroids aren't gonna have much to say. It doesn't matter what android puts out as soon as a new iphone comes out... well lets just say android is like last years tech.
4. TheLibertine (Posts: 484; Member since: 15 Jan 2012)
Nah, now Android OEMs will strike back with the likes of SGS4 and Co. The mobile tech world is moving forward like no other, every new product has to outshine the previous one. That is called tech evolution cycle.
16. Jphones (Posts: 235; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
ok maybe the "fastest" but thats its its like having a ferrari engine and putting it in a mini cooper. So the phones fast so what it doesn't do anything revolutionary. Oh the iphone can stream video, play games and download at high speeds? um sounds like a ipod touch to me. So stop it with the fandroid I rather have a slightly "slower" phone that does everything that has current gen and next gen technology. The iphone is just boring and it'll get a minimal update adding something the should have put in the phone this year next year when they add the S. So be happy with your blazing fast ipod touch
41. Jasonhunterx (Posts: 111; Member since: 20 Jul 2011)
Quad core A15 processor should be coming soon iPhone won't stand a chance
3. Gaytor (Posts: 51; Member since: 09 Sep 2012)
I thought iphone is slower to gs3 when running Jelly Bean. Dont care because no phone could be near to Note and will wait for Note2. That large screen is just great and tailormade for me. iphone is great too but Note 2 is it.
11. iphoneWOW (banned) (Posts: 3; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
meh if the system on the iphone was clocked as high as a android than the note 2 will just be plain embarassing
17. Jphones (Posts: 235; Member since: 10 Feb 2012)
iboring would you stop lying to yourself the i5 is embarrasing. .5inch taller phone and no real innovative features. gaytor is right JB actually adds speed and features that the iphone will get when it hits 7. so please stop its one thing to lie to us but don't lie to yourself
69. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Why are you lying to yourself? The screen size is not an e-penis metric. The iPhone can actually be used with one hand. That's why phone sizes range from 3.2" all the way up to 5.5". You are an idiot for comparing phone sizes. If you care about them so much, go get a 10" tablet and put it in your pocket.
And are you actually claiming that JB will have "innovative" features? The two major features in JB are literally just Google's attempt to try and catch up with iOS. The speed gain you boast is just project Butter, hardware acceleration for the UI that iOS has had since day one and Android is still struggling to do right. The other is the Siri competitor. Copycat much?
159. amir1975 (Posts: 22; Member since: 18 Aug 2012)
please bear in mind that the latest i.o.s version is 6 now, whereas the Android one is 4.1, i don't care about the version, what i want to express is that Android is still young, but as you confessed by yourself, it easily catch up with I.o.s (or surpass it in many ways : Google maps for instance)
So, in the years which are coming, as it has been estimated by many Experts, Android with the power of Gigantic Google rules the world. consider what Android 6 will be alike in 2015? or a day which every Android phone will be emerged with a pre-installed Google Maps Application, but other platforms have to pay for it. it will happen, be sure.
5. hateftotti (Posts: 198; Member since: 03 May 2011)
Where is the maps benchmarks??? :)))
Try to do your best for showing how iphone is good but everyone knows about this crap.
7. amir1975 (Posts: 22; Member since: 18 Aug 2012)
it's like a joke, playing well with the numbers and benchmark softwares, PC mag has always has been a fan of apple (i don't know why?, maybe due to the fact that they are American too!)
the fastest Smart phone in the world is currently "LG optimus G". that's why they had frightened to put this Gadget face to face with iphone5. i don't care about Numbers, a geek knows this Rule very well : always Hardware Talks.
So still (and always) Android rules.
you can check the results inwww.glbenchmark.com
35. RapidCat (Posts: 351; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
lol chinese phone beat the crap of apple
Xiaomi MI 2 3445
Apple iPhone 5 3235
70. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
How about comparing phones you can actually buy right now instead of mythical unicorn ones?
158. amir1975 (Posts: 22; Member since: 18 Aug 2012)
So i'm going to buy a Xiaomi MI 2 !
The fastest phone in terms of Benchmarks and selling records.

Hardware isn't the only thing that matters. Is it that hard to accept that iPhone can be in some ways better than Android phones for some people?
8. Android1 (Posts: 59; Member since: 16 Jul 2012)
S3.. note 2.. HTC ONE X .. and upcoming HTC DIx... Are monsters.. no maps no flash no new design no hdmi and u people called it a new phone ? Go to gsm arena and u will find that i5 having less features then 4@s lolxx is that ur New iPhone ? Apple is just overrated but can not compete with android globally... Enjoy ur old expensive device with no features lolxx
72. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
PSA for dumbasses. Flash isn't supported on Android anymore. It's not even in the store.
9. prakesh (Posts: 92; Member since: 13 Sep 2012)
huwhat.? fastest battery drain..
lg optimus g is fastest still in ICS wait for JB
also s3 is fastest than ip5 wait till it upgrade to JB

82. bucky (Posts: 2562; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
Are you actually being serious. This place is filled with nothing but insecure androids fighting over everything (i actually picture the seagulls in "finding nemo") and there a s**t ton more articles for android as well.
12. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
Well, this won't last long.
Besides, it's disingenuous to compare the iPhone 5 to a mid range phone (Razr M). PC Mag can't be this goddamn stupid.
73. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Sadly you are though. The Razr M is the latest release from Motorola with the 1.5Ghz S4 dual-core processor. They have a Razr HD incoming, but it uses the exact same processor. Same with the Galaxy S III. They bench higher than the quad-core Tegra or Exynos processors. They are at the top right now. That's why PCMag is comparing to those two. This is what happens when people talk out of their asses.
19. Daniel.95 (Posts: 89; Member since: 20 Sep 2012)
I surprised
21. PhansMuneeb (Posts: 371; Member since: 28 Jan 2012)
The only thing where Apple is strong is it's ecosystem...i mean all games and apps are optimized for one Hero device or else its a Expensive piece of Glass.
74. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
That's true for every other phone.
22. ilia1986 (unregistered)
A train is faster than a car. Most people still use cars. Why? Because cars aren't limited - unlike trains.
When we will have a railroad connecting every single POI on earth - most people will stop using cars. But until then - they won't.
Question: Is it practical to have a railroad connecting every POI on earth? No.
Question: Is it practical for Apple to address the need and whim of every consumer out there with their current business model (closed OS)? No.
That's why Apple will never truly dominate the market. Because there are still a huge number of things Apple's devices will never be capable of doing, because of the nature of their products (closed OS, walled garden).
That's why open source platforms (or platforms which are less closed) - which can do anything - be it Android now, webOS perhaps later, and so on - will ALWAYS dominate the market.
This is also the reason the Mac never even came close in beating Windows in terms of market share.
In short - some people may say that trains are better. For them. And they would probably be right. However they are - and will remain - the minority.
75. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Your analogy is dumb as hell. With your logic, Linux should be the number one desktop OS. And iOS has already dominated the market, so its really just fact versus your made up fiction.
95. satanrules (Posts: 19; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
There's this thing with metaphors, they aren't meant to be taken literally.
107. frydaexiii (Posts: 1441; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
Linux isn't consumer friendly dumb@$$, it's a developer tool. Linux in this analogy would be a tow truck or a lorry, it does more than a car, but is it for the average user? No
And how is 30+% dominating the market?
154. tedkord (Posts: 11599; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
IOS dominating with less than 30% market share compared to Android's over 60%? Delusional much?
23. dragonkong (Posts: 7; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
What are you going to do with the fastest phone with no features.. :D
24. shashi.map (Posts: 30; Member since: 16 Oct 2011)
the LG Optimus G is the fastest smartphone......and the SGS3 with JB beats the Ip5...Razr M is a mid range device....PCmag are huge apple fanboys.they should change their name to AppleMag ..........
77. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
You need to go back to 3rd grade and learn how to read. It's only for phones currently on the market. The Optimus G definitely ain't out yet. The JB Galaxy S III is still in testing. The Razr M uses the fastest processor available right now, the 1.5Ghz S4. This is why there should be a law banning people with IQs lower than 70 from using the internet.
155. tedkord (Posts: 11599; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)

Good job apple but I'm still getting the note2
26. kombinatonz (Posts: 30; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
Most of these review sites are in bed with apple. They support apple prodcucts. All you can do as a consumer is go to a store and do a hands on review for yourself.
78. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Kind of like the liberal media always supporting the left. Damn them and their facts and evidence!
27. ogy_dogy (Posts: 453; Member since: 29 Jun 2012)
This is like saying a 1l 4 cylinder is faster that a 6l v8, the iphone is an obsolete piece of Shyte and no pc mag can change that. i mean cmon, a dual core 1ghz?? this was cutting edge when... 3 years ago?
76. Hemlocke (unregistered)
Dual-core custom A15 > A9. There are a lot of factors that go into why the iPhone 5 has the best SoC.
Optimized and increased memory architecture, die shrink, better performance on demand and scaling to accomplish that, a class-leading GPU, and a chipset that is tailored to the OS.
92. ojdidit84 (Posts: 458; Member since: 16 Jul 2011)
It is fast paired with the light resources that iOS uses. I won't deny that. But it's not an A15 core, it's a custom A7 core. There hasn't been an A15 SoC released yet.
103. Hemlocke (unregistered)
ARMv7 is the instruction set. The A6 isn't really Cortex A9 or A15, since it is completely custom, but it does implement VFPv4 and other A15-based features, which makes it most comparable to an A15.
81. aoikemono27 (Posts: 177; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Are you really that stupid that you are comparing processors with gas engines? That's like saying the Pentium 4 running at 4Ghz that top end PCs use to have back in 2005 is faster than the an i3 running at 2.1Ghz on a modern PC. When stupid people make convictions about something and don't listen to reason, it can be quite scary. For the human race.
31. garz_pa (Posts: 154; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
Benchmarks doesn't really matter..
33. RapidCat (Posts: 351; Member since: 12 Jun 2012)
I don't care.
because the fastest phone, not the best phone :)
38. rickywinataa (Posts: 262; Member since: 05 Apr 2012)
considering the time difference between sgs3 & iPhone 4S, it's pretty normal to see the phone faster. however arm a15 processor will surely beat the crap out of this a6 processor

I thought Murphy was entertaining in his role. I prefer a guy that looks like Clark Kent and at times appears nervous than a pierre maguire type. Maguire is awful and walks all over Doc "Drive" Emerich and Eddie Active Stick Olczyk with his over the top vocabulary. I'd rather hear Murphy than Maguire any day. There is something cool about a guy who is not a proffesional broadcaster calling the games. Murphy always reminded me of Clark Kent when they would talk between periods, which cracked me up.

Sometimes I share pictures of the baby on Twitter. This is one I posted to mark 10 months. Isn't she the most adorable baby ever? She has so much personality.
Can you believe she's now 11 months. On November 19 she'll turn 1. It's kind of drepessing.
She's super clever. This week she started standing on her own. As in, she'll stand up from sitting on the floor without using anything to pull herself up. I know she'll be walking soon. Which is also depressing. I'm not ready!
She loves to dance. Her newest favorite jam is Gangnam Style. She squeals and gets down every time it comes on. So funny.
She is still one of the happiest babies I've ever seen. She rarely fusses. We are seriously blessed.

Did you enjoy "Bridesmaids" last year, but wish it had been a bit more cynical, mean-spirited, and druggy? "Bachelorette" is here to take similar material in a much darker direction. It's not perfect but is still very funny and even more audacious.
Written and directed by Leslye Headland, "Bachelorette" was actually in production before Kristen Wiig's hit movie was. And while "Bridesmaids" wasn't exactly all sweetness and light itself, "Bachelorette" makes it look like a pedestrian Kate Hudson romcom.
"Bachelorette" concerns friends Regan (Kirsten Dunst), Gena (Lizzy Caplan) and Katie (Isla Fisher), all 30-ish, gorgeous single women whose unfulfilled lives are further complicated when their overweight high school friend (Rebel Wilson) becomes engaged to a handsome rich guy.
Aside from the opening scene the movie goes in the "one crazy night" genre, as the characters spend the long night before the wedding partying, attempting to rescue the destroyed wedding dress, and confronting the unhappy places life has taken them. Throughout there's a whole lot of cocaine and alcohol, plus references to bulimia, abortion and past suicide attempts.
Dunst is very good as the queen bee control freak maid of honor, whose character is summed up in a monologue about how she's "done everything right"- gone to college, dated a medical resident- but "nothing is happening" for her, while forgetting about the part where she's a wretched, wretched human being. Between this and her revelatory turn in Lars Von Trier's "Melancholia" last year, it appears weddings plus depression is the key to any great Dunst performance.
Fisher, though, isn't quite up to the dark turns her character takes; I suppose there's a reason she never got any kind of post-"Wedding Crashers" career bounce. Wilson- who was also in "Bridesmaids" as Kristen Wiig's British roomate- has a couple of good scenes too.
But the movie belongs to Lizzy Caplan, who's been long overdue for a breakout movie role. She's introduced giving a memorable monologue about oral sex to an airplane passenger (played by SNL alum Horatio Sanz) and never dials it down from there. Fans of Party Down are treated to a reunion of that show's central couple, Caplan and Adam Scott.
The men in the film are very funny too, especially James Marsden as an alpha male doofus who makes a run at Dunst. Kyle Bornheimer, a veteran of several failed sitcoms, also makes a good impression as a nerd who falls for Fisher.
There are just a couple of places in the third act where the movie steps wrongly and fails to ring true. A character recovers way more quickly from a drug overdose than I'd imagine is probably typical, while another character gives a best man toast that would likely get him kicked out of any wedding in real life.
"Bachelorette," which is currently both in theaters and available on demand (through Amazon and cable providers) may not be as funny or groundbreaking as "Bridesmaids," but it's still an enjoyable and brave comedy.

4 Tips for Finding Peace of Mind as an Investor
|Email Print
We live in times where it can be difficult to be an investor. It's hard to know what will happen next, no matter who you are, or where your money is invested. Every day, it seems as though there's a big move one way or the other, and it always seem as though everything is on the verge of a meltdown.
If you want to find some measure of peace of mind as an investor, here are 4 things you can try:
1. Create a Plan
One of the best things you can do for your peace of mind is to create an investing plan. We all feel better when we know what's coming, and when there's a plan for moving forward. Your investing plan can help you figure out a strategy for investing, and stay on track. When you know what the plan is, you are more likely to find peace of mind.
2. Don't Compare Yourself to Others
It's hard to block out the loud noises and images of sensationalist media. Whether it's trying to encourage you to jump on a "hot" stock, or whether it's all panic and selling, don't compare what you're doing to what everyone else seems to be doing.
And this doesn't just apply to what you see in the financial media. Don't get roped into competing with a co-worker over who's portfolio is the best, and don't wish that you could make as much as your cousin, who risks a lot on risky investments. Instead, look at your own investing plan, and fundamentals of your portfolio. Only compare yourself to yourself, and look for improvement.
3. Remember Trend Lines Smooth Out Over Time
Market trend lines, viewed up close, are scary looking. Short-term, the market is extremely volatile. This can be terrifying to many investors. However, if you consider that trend lines smooth out over time, you can find a little peace in the midst of volatile times. When you look at a chart that covers 30 years, the drops don't seem as precipitous as when you look at those on a chart that only covers 5 years. Keep that in mind, and you'll feel calmer about the whole thing.
4. Focus on the Fundamentals
When everything seems to be spiraling out of control, it's easy to get caught up in what is happening with the price right now. However, it's important to look at the fundamentals underlying an investment. Have they changed? There are times when it makes sense to sell an investment. However, the time that you're scared because the whole market is dropping is not the time.
Make sure that you take a measured approach to your investment decisions. Go back and review your investing plan. Take a look at some long-term trends. Then evaluate your investment based on the fundamentals. If your investment still has solid fundamentals, there is a good chance that it will still be a good investment for the long haul. Only change things up if the fundamentals have changed.
While there's no way to guarantee success, no matter how careful you are, and how smart you are, you can increase your chances of long-term investment gains if you seek peace of mind, and try to limit your emotional response.

WARE – An effort to reduce from 100 to 0 the quorum needed to conduct business at town meetings came up short at Monday's annual town meeting in Ware. The body also approved a 0.75 percent meals tax by a 58 to 39 vote.
Although a majority said yes to the idea – 56 in favor to 48 opposed – a 2/3 vote was needed to strike down the quorum bylaw requiring 100 residents, and the measure was defeated.
Voters also approved the elimination of a $50 civil fine that could have been levied against the selectmen chairman for refusing to recognize someone that wanted to speak during a board meeting.
Town meeting approved a fiscal 2014 budget of $25,949,056.76, a 4.9 percent increase. School spending $12,999,915 of the total, an 8 percent jump.
The body took no action on articles to exempt Ware for the provisions of state civil service law for the fire chief and police chief appointments.

OK, so maybe we jumped the gun last week with all that talk about how the SEC East has overtaken the West as the best division in college football. LSU, despite its beleaguered offensive line, handled No. 3 South Carolina while undefeated Mississippi State was impressive in its first real test, taking down Tennessee. For good measure, Alabama drilled hapless Mizzou, 42-10 and Arkansas blew out lowly Kentucky 49-7. In all, a resounding 4-0 for the West against the East.
LSU's victory, which actually was really powered by that battered O-line, triggers the "one-loss-team-with-the-best-shot-of-sneaking-into-the-BCS" banter that usually surfaces around this time every year.
Saturday night's big win was delivered by the Tigers' power ground game, which rolled up 258 rushing yards against the SEC's No. 2 run defense that had only been allowing 84 rushing yards per game. The O-line, using a freshman making his first start at right guard (Trai Turner), also did its part to render hollow Jadeveon Clowney's pregame threat that LSU QB Zach Mettenberger wouldn't finish the game.
"You look at it, we only have two guys starting that started the first game with La'el [Collins] and P.J. [Lonergan]," Mettenberger said of his O-line. "I thought the old man at left tackle [Josh Dworaczyk] had a hell of a game, he was on [Jadeveon] Clowney all night. The two young guys, Vadal [Alexander] and Trai [Turner] played lights out. I think they're going to be a good combo in the future on the right side for sure."

On defense, LSU limited South Carolina star Marcus Lattimore to 35 yards, the third-lowest output of his career.
"Tonight I realized why LSU was preseason No. 1," South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier said. "They're a big, strong team. They can run the ball and stop the run. That was the biggest difference in the game probably. I don't know how many rushing yards they had, but I know we didn't have many at all. I give those guys credit."
True, Les Miles' team got run over last weekend in Gainesville, but after LSU's win over the Gamecocks, they're in good position to make a run at another trip to the BCS title game. Do they hold their own destiny? No, but there's still almost two months worth of attrition waiting to boost their cause.
In front of LSU: a visit to a ranked Texas A&M team before mighty Alabama visits. If the Tigers beat A&M then knock off the Tide, they'll be in great position. After that, unbeaten Mississippi State heads to Death Valley before LSU finishes vs. Ole Miss and at Arkansas. Get through all of that and they'd get a shot at the SEC East champ, which could mean a chance to avenge the loss to Florida. Short of a Florida rematch, the Tigers still would face Georgia or South Carolina again -- providing one more chance to fatten up the BCS resume.
Reasons why LSU doesn't technically control its own destiny: as long as Oregon stays unbeaten, the Tigers aren't trumping the Ducks. It's also probably a similar story when comparing LSU to undefeated Kansas State and Notre Dame. That said, it seems like a stretch to think the latter two will emerge from the second half of the season unscathed. Then again, who really figured either of them would still be unbeaten at this point?
Oregon State also remains unblemished. The Beavers get archrival Oregon in Corvallis. Win out and Mike Riley's team likely would face USC in the Pac-12 title game. My hunch is an undefeated Pac-12 champ, whether it's Oregon or Oregon State, is still going to the BCS title game (more on the Beavers in a minute).
As for those remaining Big East unbeatens (Rutgers, Louisville, Cincy) and Ohio, I think they'd get squeezed out by all of the above. In fact, a one-loss Oklahoma team or one-loss USC team probably trumps them too. Fair or unfair, that's how far the Big East brand has fallen, and when your nonconference schedule is suspect, it's going to be problematic.
Random Stuff
I thought Tennessee would knock Mississippi State from the unbeaten ranks. I underestimated the Bulldogs' talent. QB Tyler Russell is playing very well. He now has a 12-1 TD-INT ratio (7-0 in SEC play). He impressed me Saturday night, and State's secondary also was as good as advertised.
Earlier in the week, a source told me that NFL scouts had been through Starkville and were curious how the Bulldogs CB tandem of Johnthan Banks and Darius Slay would handle the Vols' freakish WR combo of Justin Hunter and Cordarrelle Patterson. Word was, with a strong showing it'd boost Banks' stock as a top-10 pick and elevate Slay into first-round consideration.
The Bulldogs' secondary ended up holding the two big wideouts to a pair of catches each and only 66 combined receiving yards. Impressive stuff for MSU. Keep in mind that the Bulldogs essentially had to beat Holmes Junior College for Banks, a small-school recruit from Mississippi years ago that has blossomed into a long, rangy big-play man in Starkville. Remember, Banks was that MSU freshman DB that had two pick-sixes on Tim Tebow. Against the Vols, he made a big strip that helped swing momentum.
Slay, who may be MSU's fastest guy, is even more physical than Banks and no doubt, his stock is soaring. Just like Dan Mullen's.
• There is no getting around this stat: Derek Dooley is now 0-20 lifetime against ranked teams. My hunch is barring a big upset of Bama or at South Carolina, he's getting canned after this season. The Vols are only 1-10 in SEC play the past two years and that lone win was against Vanderbilt in overtime.
• Hats off to Oregon State and Mike Riley. Even without standout QB Sean Mannion, the Beavers keep rolling. Playing against one of the country's better defenses, BYU, the Beavers also lost their best RB Storm Woods in the game to a knee sprain. No worries. Backup QB Cody Vaz shined. Riley opted to come out throwing and the Beavers hung 42 on a team that had only allowed a combined 10 points in its previous three games and had been No. 3 in the nation in defense. OSU is now 5-0 for the first time since 1939.
• Gene Chizik didn't make last Tuesday's Hot Seat Top 10, but after losing at Ole Miss, he's moved onto really shaky ground. As Ross Collings notes, if Auburn loses Saturday at Vandy, the Tigers will drop to 1-6 for the first time in 62 years. Losing to Ole Miss and Vandy back-to-back would be devastating for Chizik's job prospects.
• Sorry Stanford fans. Was there any doubt that play wasn't getting overturned in South Bend? To me, it sure looked like on replay one of the officials was coming in from the side to whistle the play dead, as ND players began to celebrate before Stepfan Taylor wiggled the ball across the goal line.
|Johnny Manziel leads Texas A&M to 59-57 win over Louisiana Tech. (US Presswire)
"He is a very special player," Tech coach Sonny Dykes said. "We knew coming in he was going to be hard to stop. We had a hard time adjusting to his speed early in the game. I thought our guys got more settled in and made some adjustments and made some plays in the second half. We just couldn't stop him in critical situations. That's what good players do, they make plays."
• The Broyles Award goes to the nation's top assistant. New Texas Tech DC Art Kaufman is making quite a case for that it. A program that was No. 117 in scoring D last year is No. 7 so far this season, and you can no longer question the competition it has faced. Kaufman's Red Raiders shut down Geno Smith and West Virginia in shocking fashion Saturday in Lubbock.
Smith, who had been completing more than 80 percent of his passes before visiting Lubbock, barely completed more than 50 percent of them Saturday. The Red Raiders were at their best in clutch situations, limiting WVU to 2 of 7 in fourth-down tries a week after the Mountaineers went 5 of 5 at Texas.
• Great insight by analyst Chris Spielman during the WVU-Texas Tech game. The former Ohio State linebacking legend was successfully predicting WVU run plays by Mountaineer LT Quinton Spain's body language and foot placement pre-snap.
• I realize Texas misses LB Jordan Hicks, but this is ridiculous. Texas looks like the worst tackling team in major college football right now. Texas, which was No. 6 in the nation in run defense last year, is No. 103 now after getting annihilated by Oklahoma. Opponents also are 10 of 13 against Texas on fourth down. Last season, Texas was No. 4 in the nation in toughest fourth-down D at 5 of 17.
• The wizardry of 73-year-old Bill Snyder continues: Kansas State escaped Iowa State with a 27-21 win, improving Snyder's record to a ridiculous 10-1 in games decided by seven points or less in the past year and a half.
• New team, same results for Montel Harris, who has a habit of piling up 100-yard rushing games. The former BC star ran for 142 yards as Temple beat UConn in overtime.
• As I've said a hundred times before, never underestimate Hugh Freeze. Ole Miss is 4-3, that 16-game SEC losing streak is only a memory -- and now Freeze really has something to tout on the recruiting trail. More reason to party in Oxford. I'm not saying Freeze is going to lead the Rebels to SEC titles, but he might just make them nationally relevant.
• Ohio State's defense has been awful, allowing 87 points the past two weeks. The good news: The Buckeyes still won both games, although Indiana deserves credit for putting a major scare into Urban Meyer's team. If there's a positive spin for the Buckeyes' D it's that converted FB Zach Boren led the team with eight tackles in his first time playing defense in college -- and on a defense coping with attrition.
• Bob Davie's second act as a head coach is going a lot better than his first. New Mexico is 4-3 after winning at Hawaii. If not for a three-point loss against Boise State, the Lobos would have a four-game winning streak.
• TCU didn't miss Casey Pachall on Saturday night against Baylor. The Horned Frogs, led by Trevone Boykin, went 14 of 19 on third-down conversions as the young QB accounted for five TDs in the 49-21 win.
• Stat of the Day: Baylor, which has surrendered 119 points its past two games, is allowing opponents to hit on 64 percent of its third-down tries. That's almost 10 percent worse than the next-worst defense in the country (Kentucky).
• Stat of the Day, Take II: Opponents are 0-6 on fourth-down tries against Rutgers this season.
• Sweet moment: Florida sophomore linebacker Neiron Ball, who had brain surgery in 2011, recovered a Vandy fumble in the fourth quarter of the Gators' win in Nashville.

FAU Receives Five-year Grant from the National Science Foundation to Create an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Advanced Knowledge Enablement
Center is one of nine NSF-sponsored centers in the U.S. in the area of information technology, communication and computing, and one of only two centers in the state of Florida.
BOCA RATON, FL (September 17, 2009) – Florida Atlantic University's department of computer and electrical engineering and computer science in the College of Engineering and Computer Science joins Florida International University (FIU) as one of only nine National Science Foundation (NSF) supported centers in the U.S. and one of two in the state of Florida in the area of information technology, communication and computing. FAU has received a five-year grant from the NSF to create a site for the Center for Advanced Knowledge Enablement (CAKE) to provide a framework for interaction between university faculty and industry to pursue advanced research in these fields. Research that will be carried out by CAKE will fortify other areas of science and technology and provide new capacity for economic productivity. The main objective of CAKE is to develop long-term partnerships among industry, academia and government, and will feature high-quality industry research, strong industrial support and collaboration in research and education, and direct transfer of university developed ideas, research, and technology to U.S. industry. FAU's center will operate jointly with the FIU center formed last year.
"This is a win-win situation for both our university, and our industry and government partners," said Dr. Borko Furht, chair, department of computer and electrical engineering and director of CAKE at FAU. "This grant provides FAU with the opportunity to conduct industrially relevant research, receive additional seed funding, and moreover, benefit from the recognition and prestige of being an NSF research center."
Affiliation with and membership to FAU's CAKE is open to industry, government agencies and others with research needs. The center will provide its partners with numerous benefits including early access to research innovations, and opportunities to interact and work with faculty, students and industry peers. It addition, the center provides a platform to leverage research and development investments with multi-university centers renowned for their innovative research capabilities. There are currently 50 NSF-sponsored industry/university cooperative research centers in the U.S.
"The new center represents the combined efforts of FAU and FIU researchers, and now has the critical mass to serve the information technology industry in South Florida and help it to mature into the top tier," said Dr. Naphtali Rishe, director of FIU's I/UCRC-CAKE and Inaugural Outstanding University Professor.
The research agenda for FAU's CAKE includes new technologies for various Web-based applications, video compression and communication, next-generation hardware/software development techniques and tools for mobile devices, RFID-based automation systems, and others. Several companies have already made a commitment to join the Center, including LexisNexis, ProntoProgress, RealNetworks, PartnerCommunity, Motorola iDEN Mobile Devices, Vivaja Technologies, Ingenious Software, Ineoquest and Evolux Transportation.
"This center is a great opportunity for South Florida's high-tech community," said Jaime Borras, former corporate vice president of Motorola and current chairman of Mobile Technology Consortium, which consists of 50 high-tech companies in South Florida . "The objective to bridge academia, industry, and government by providing state-of-the-art and economic applied research through the center is something desperately needed in this region."
FAU's center is catalyzed by an investment from the NSF, which will range from $307,000 to $750,000 over five years and will be supported primarily by center members. The NSF will assume a supporting role in the development and evolution of the center and its members.
Members will have access to and benefit from the results of all of the Center's projects funded by the membership fees. "The structure and format of the membership program creates a multiplier effect," said Furht. "For example, a member paying a fee of $24,000 will be able to benefit from at least $300,000 worth of research."
Through an intra-government transfer mechanism facilitated by the NSF, FAU's CAKE can accept funds from any government agency and will only charge a nominal overhead fee. Funds can be directed to any aspect of CAKE's research, including work that may be beneficial to its industrial members. Furthermore, funds can also be used for collaborative research with industrial members who serve as sub-contractors.
The research that will be conducted by CAKE is applicable to many fields, including defense, homeland security, healthcare and biomedical science, environmental science, finance and technology services.
"Through partnerships and collaborative research at our center, we can examine, identify and address the root of various problems or issues which are of interest to multiple industry members," said Furht.
Co-principal investigators of FAU's CAKE include Drs. Hari Kalva, associate professor; Abhijit Pandya, professor; Shihong Huang, assistant professor; Ankur Agarwal, assistant professor; and Ionut Cardei, assistant professor, in the department of computer and electrical engineering and computer science at FAU.

No, the charger is proprietary. Generic chargers take forever to charge the thing, if you can find one that fits. Apple's do not.
Re: charger?ConnieL4193 Nov 1, 2013 1:22 PM (in response to daninboulder)
I went out and bought me that Nook docking charger. It's costs enough ($40) + the cable (no it does not come with one - how dumb) for another $20 or so but it sure is worth it for me because the battery just goes down to fast if you do enough on it. I have it connected at work now and it's great. I never have to worry about it dying on the bus ride home. It also serves as a stand and connects to my external speaker as well.

Thumb twiddling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|Look up twiddle one's thumbs in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Thumb twiddling is an activity that is done with the hands of an individual whereby the fingers are interlocked and the thumbs circle around a common focal point, usually in the middle of the distance between the two thumbs.
While it is an expression of at least a moderate amount of manual dexterity, thumb twiddling is frequently used as an example of a useless, time-wasting activity. It has even been proposed as "the ultimate exercise for the bored and lazy".[1]
Medical uses[edit]
Thumb twiddling can be used as a simple test for manual dexterity.[2]
