CyanogenMod crew split if they should bother developing custom ROMs for the Samsung Galaxy S 4
0. phoneArena 20 Mar 2013, 04:19 posted on
Given that one of the many attractions of buying a Samsung flagship has so far been developer and custom ROM support that squeeze every last mile out of the hardware, and iron out the software kinks faster than Samsung has ever done, this is not good news for future S 4 owners that like to tweak...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

a dark day for the king of the galaxy

Did you read the article? They just announced that they are NOT shutting the S4 out.
15. Ohrules (Posts: 327; Member since: 11 Jun 2012)
yet hesitation to support a top dog? seems unprecedented
16. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
So you didn't read the article.
"Let's start with the simplest form of this: CyanogenMod does not pre-announce support or lack of support for devices. EVER"
Hello? Do you understand that sentence?
19. jopancy (Posts: 74; Member since: 25 Apr 2012)
Seems like you read the first few sentences then jumped to make your comment.
Go back and read the article again ok? And stop making a ass of yourself.

i really dont like cm built s the only rom i used for gs3 was ultima i liked it
17. atsamman (Posts: 74; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Not necessarily a dark day
I personally dont prefer the CM roms
I Think samsung roms has much more usefull features that I dont like to give up by using CM such as pop-up play and mini apps
My only concern would if it's gonna get root or not
27. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Yeah, that's the main reason why many senior members on XDA are sticking to the official firmwares. Even I, who was a big fan of CM an AOSP, is using a custom rom based on the official firmware from Samsung. The latter have been doing a marvellous job with their softwares lately.
34. McLTE (Posts: 824; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I agree.
I have not run CM for a long time in any of my phones. Don't care for the ROMs. Having said that.. I know they are the workhorse behind mose of the non-TW based ROMs.
I rooted/unlocked my Note2 and after playing with a few ASOP ROMS, I went to Touch Wiz based ROMS and don't plan on going back. There are too many great features that Sammy cooked into TW that I don't want to throw away - Spen support being a big one.
Wow.. I can't believe I just said I don't want to run stock(ish) Android.. I have ALWAYS been a big supporter of stock.
Sammy is doing a good job with SW!!

I don't understand the hype of exynos, it has 4g lte built-in, yet only Korean carrier support it, the rest support Qualcomm...
not to mention, exynos exploited twice, people start to question the ability of exynos...
5. _Bone_ (Posts: 2154; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
How about now?

I'm sorry if my comment is a bit unrelated but I don't understand how octa core works(why did samsung highlight green the other four cores?)-http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151531492826488&set=a.10151462574381488.535947.314882591487&type=1&relevant_count=1&ref=nf

Exxynos sucks !
My to omap version of the GS2 although slower in benchmarks is actually smoother !
30. SleepingOz (unregistered)
I'd really like to see that with my own eyes!
My brother who studies had the i9100g and I had the original i9100. I remember he was always complaining about how sluggish his phone was compared to mine.
33. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
On cyanogenmod 10 !
No exynos code available so the G is smoother
28. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
the way Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa works is you have 4 low powered Cortex A7 Cores to do menial tasks like scrolling through home pages and whatnot and then you have the high powered big boys in the form of quad Cortex A15 Cores which take over for more intensive tasks. they'll never all run at once and the point of this is mainly to save battery power.
31. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Correct, this is how the big.LITTLE works but(yeah there's a but) all 8 cores can be used simultaneously by the system. It's called the big.LITTLE MP. So basically, the Exynos 5 Octa is really an octo-core processor.
Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP)
This is the other actual implemented function mode of a big.LITTLE CPU. In this case, all 8 cores can be used simultaneously by the system.
This is a vastly more complex working mechanism, and its implementation is also an order of magnitude more sophisticated. It requires the kernel scheduler to actually be aware of the differentiation of between the A7 and A15 cores. Currently, the Linux kernel is not capable of doing this and treats all CPUs as equals. This is a problem since we do not want to use the A15 cores when a task can simply me processed on an A7 core with a much lower power cost.
The Linaro working-group already finished the first implementation of the HMP design as a series of patches to be applied against the Linux 3.8 kernel. What they did is to make the scheduler smart enough to be able to track the load of single process entities, and with that information to schedule the threads smartly on either the A7 cores or the A15 cores. This achieves much lower latency in terms of switching workloads, or better said, switching the environments (CPUs) to the respective work-loads, and exposes the full processing capabilities of the silicon as all cores can be used at once.

And there you have it. The community won't abandon the most popular phone of the year, however I see problems cause of the insane number of new technologies introduced. Can you imagine the side IR sensor, front IR sensor (for gesture recognition), thermometer, barometer, hygrometer, Floating Touch and all the stuff packed into having to get to work with every release?
36. McLTE (Posts: 824; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
All the better reason to stick with Touch Wiz based ROMs.
Why not? It's a GOOD overlay. Having been someone who has ALWAYS gone after stock Android, I'm surprised to find myself very much enjoying TW. There are a few dumb things, but over all it's great.
I want an IR blaster! :P
4. ianbbaa (Posts: 305; Member since: 20 Mar 2013)
I used CM and big big thanks to them to make some of my older devices to run super smooth....
Feauture wyse S4 amazed me, and i believe they would not be able to bring up all of those features to run (if it is SAMSUNGs fault for not releasing sources of EXYNOS or what ever...)
It is good they decided not to go, a lot of new hardware in S4, lot of bugs and work for them...I believe with the hardware specs of S4, there will be no need for CM anymore, just root, remove some small amount bloatware and keep the phone full functional with original S4 firmware - i do not want S4 that can not do MHL, WiFi direct, NFC...as some of the CM roms were not able to do.
18. atsamman (Posts: 74; Member since: 26 Sep 2012)
Exactly my thought
6. jove39 (Posts: 1859; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Samsung should listen to devs and release latest/bug-free kernel sources for galaxy devices.
7. SGSatlantis (Posts: 226; Member since: 20 Jul 2011)
I guess Samsung will send them free phones and they will support at least the Qualcomm version. And the first post wasn't a official statement in the first place.
9. joesseth (Posts: 61; Member since: 18 Dec 2012)
Buy beer for the developers. Enough said.
11. pwnarena (Posts: 1129; Member since: 15 Feb 2013)
or pay/sponsor them the way many "review websites" are getting paid/sponsored.
14. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
This is not a loss at all.
Cyanogen is popular, but mostly because of the legacy of being the first third party ROM.
Now it's far from the best out there.
For Samsung, there's always the Omega ROM ;)
22. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
I dare those who thumbed me down to support their case.
Or are you just haters?
CM is having stability and feature support issues.
Omega simply trumps it!
32. SleepingOz (unregistered)
Yeah but Omega is based on Samsung firmwares while CM is based on AOSP. Many people prefer the AOSP for the holo interface even if it lacks tons of feature available only on Samsung firmwares.
I do care about the holo interface myself, that's the main reason I'm using Remix Resurrection Pitch Black but Westcrip has abandoned this Rom.
I'm considering Omega with Simplistic Framework.
20. amansingal14 (Posts: 309; Member since: 08 Sep 2012)
and i am out of the line for this now... Already I was disappointed, but now I am much more than before.
No CM? Sorry Sammy you lost a customer
21. predator93 (Posts: 122; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
This might be the reason why google went with TI-OMAP in Galaxy Nexus instead of Exynos, despite the fact that exynos 4210 was the most powerful chip at that time. Samsung can easily solve this issue if they really want to.
23. stychill (unregistered)
Thats potentially sad for people who wanted the hardware with the absence of touchwiz swapped for cyanogenmod
24. shahulvm (Posts: 124; Member since: 01 Apr 2012)
Screw PLASTICSung....
Pathetic with CrapSUNG promising to release source for BLOBS and then keep promising...HTC another screw with their S-ON....
Only option for now is SONY, who have received OEM of the year from XDA...!!! Way to go SONY...
25. procopiojose (Posts: 132; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
it is not a good idea to install custom roms on a galaxy phone nowadays.. their firmware is the best out there with the window mode, popup play, smart stay, etc.. i'm not a fan of custom roms.. not to mention that your warranty will be voided if you install custom roms.. this cannot stop people from buying s4..
26. arfinkhan (Posts: 25; Member since: 07 Feb 2013)
everyone use.....its deal braker
29. MartyK (Posts: 819; Member since: 11 Apr 2012)
Samsung just open the door for others to take their title as Android #1 manufacture...
This is great news for Motorola, HTC, Sony and LG.
37. MobileNico (Posts: 67; Member since: 26 Aug 2012)
Although nothing is confirmed nor denied, it is understandable that some would be reluctant to work with the S4 with regards to AOSP-based ROMs. Though i personally prefer the look and feel of AOSP, TW as of late has been a decent UI (though i still cannot stand the launcher) and has added quite a few worthwhile enhancements over AOSP, mostly related to the S Pen. The loss of proprietary features was a dealbreaker for many of my former crack-flasher buddies who purchased Note IIs (most S III users i know still flash CM/AOKP). I can't say I would decide any differently.
38. MobileNico (Posts: 67; Member since: 26 Aug 2012)
Also, with the exception of S Pen and to a lesser extent Multi-Window, many S "features" are pretty gimmicy and aren't really that amazing.
40. DigitalMD (Posts: 226; Member since: 17 Feb 2010)
As the phones get better hardware and more stable software from the manufactures, there is less and less need for modded ROMs. THere is little that Cyanogen or anyone else can do these days to make the phone perform better and usually there is a loss of some hardware features, so I really don;t care. I will still buy an S4 and it will still be the best phone out there.
41. R.dalangin (Posts: 3; Member since: 31 Mar 2012)
You can't really blame them. The Exynos processors are the ones having the issue. Samsung isn't giving the developers much to work with. I had the same problem with my s III. It's been a long time and until now there's no stable CM 10.1 version for the s3. And since most custom roms are based from CM roms, then the bugs here will be present in all other roms. So no CM support could really be a factor to consider when buying the S 4, specially if you're into modding.
Modding is important because not everybody likes the Touchwiz UI. I personally like the Camera App of Samsung and the Paper Artist, but if I could get those features into a Vanilla Android build (pure Android build) then I would be really happy. Also, the stock Android seems to run smoother than Android with Touchwiz overlay. Just some things I've noticed :)

Tuesday Trend - Button? Button? Who Has The Button?
Before I launch into today's neural firings, I wanted to send some blog love out into the blogosphere. However, I

It will be 11 years between games for Rutgers and Notre Dame when the teams meet in the Dec. 28 Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium, but had things turned out a little differently a few years ago they would have been more familiar opponents.
The schools agreed to a series in 2005 that was originally announced as six games starting in 2010 -- though former Rutgers athletic director Bob Mulcahy said it was actually supposed to be a 10-game series.
It was abruptly cancelled in 2008 before ever getting started because Notre Dame wanted all of the Rutgers home games in the series played at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, not in Piscataway, Mulcahy said today.
"The series was agreed to in principle," Mulcahy said. "(Former Notre Dame athletic director) Kevin White and I agreed to a 10-game series -- five home and five away -- but it fell apart because Notre Dame didn't want to play any games at Rutgers. They wanted the games in (East Rutherford).
"I told them no. I was willing to play one or two (at MetLife), but we had just upgraded our stadium and I wanted to play games on campus."
Rutgers was in the midst of a $102 million overhaul of its facility, now High Point Solutions Stadium, at the time.
"It was our feeling that we didn't want to play those home games at the Meadowlands," Mulcahy said. "It wasn't fair to our fans. We were giving up homefield advantage."
The series, announced as six games at the time, was cancelled on April 28, 2008.
Rutgers and Notre Dame have played four times -- three since 1996. Two of those were at Notre Dame Stadium (the last one in 2002), the other in Piscataway in 2000. The Fighting Irish won those three games by a combined 149-17.

Women's crew rows in Head of the Schuylkill Regatta
Hamilton finishes ninth in Frosh/Novice 8
By James Taylor | Contact James Taylor
Posted October 27, 2008
Tags Women's Rowing
Hamilton College's "A" entry in the Frosh/Novice 8 finished ninth at the Head of the Schuylkill Regatta in Philadelphia on Oct. 25.
The temperature was in the low 60s with a gentle breeze and occasional sprinkles early in the day. The weather deteriorated to pouring rain and a strong headwind by the time the women's Open Club 8 started.
Hamilton's time in the Frosh/Novice 8 was 17:20.91 on the 4,000-meter course. Princeton University ended up two places behind Hamilton with a time of 17:33.04.

Did the real James Harden stand up Sunday night against Cleveland? If so, I'm guessing that was him treating J.J. Hickson like the newspaper at the bottom of a bird cage.
The Beard played with purpose and without fear in what was, along with his 23-point outing Nov. 20 in Milwaukee with Kevin Durant on the bench, one of his signature performances of the season for him thus far. Harden played decisively on both ends of the floor, moved the ball, maintained a good energy level in a blowout and provided the scoring punch off the bench that Oklahoma City sorely needs.
In short, Harden played like the guy the Thunder thought it was getting at the No. 3 spot in the 2009 NBA Draft, and he did it within the current role he has on the team. And, perhaps not coincidentally, Oklahoma City finally had the laugher win over a bad team that contending squads are supposed to have often.
Harden's stat line stands out: 6-8 shooting, including 2-3 from behind the arc. Three assists against one turnover. Twenty-one minutes. Three dimes and three boards for good measure. He can't be expected to shoot percentages quite that high on a nightly basis, but the way he played, and the way Oklahoma City played with him, makes you think that the player everyone hopes he can be could be a little closer to appearing on a more regular basis.
It was just one game. And there have been others at least close to it — the aforementioned Milwaukee game and his 14 points on 50 percent shooting against the Spurs in a loss on Nov. 14 come to mind. But this was the first in a win and with Harden as the sixth man. And it wasn't just what he did, but how he did it.
Take the dunk on Hickson as the first and best example. I had a good angle on the run he made from where I sat Sunday behind the basket where he collected the defensive rebound to begin the play. He corralled the shot and immediately put the ball on the floor. All five Cavs were further north on the court than he was, but he had a more-or-less direct path to the basket as long as he stayed on the left hand side. It seemed to be a slow-developing drive, even though he was basically sprinting up the court. There was plenty of time for me to think. Hey, we've got a break here. He should keep driving. He's got a chance to take this to the hole. Keep going, James, I like the aggressiveness. I think he might dunk it. Hey, he IS going to dunk it. OH MY GOODNESS I AM STANDING AND YELLING BECAUSE THAT JUST HAPPENED.
There was never a doubt. He knew what he was going to do the entire time, and he did it. And it carried over through the rest of the game, despite the fact he missed the and-one free throw. Almost every single time he touched the ball from there on out, he did the right thing and did it without thinking, just like Scott Brooks has been begging him to do as the season has unfolded. It showed on both sides of the floor as well — after he hit a 3-point shot soon after the dunk, he got an almost-steal on the other end on the ensuing Cleveland possession. He was clearly locked in.
This would seem to be the perfect time for Harden and the rest of the team to get in some reps playing the game the way Brooks and everyone else wants them to play. The rest of the month features games against the relatively soft Rockets, Kings, Suns Bobcats and Nets among contests against more-worthy opponents in the Knicks (who have fattened up with an easy schedule), Mavericks, Hawks and Nuggets. There's some time to fine-tune some things and get on a little bit of a roll heading into January, which is packed with eight games against playoff contenders.
The Thunder fan base is collectively begging Harden at this point to keep playing the way he did Sunday. (And for Durant, who scored 25 points on 10-17 shooting, to do the same.) It just might be possible with that relatively easy schedule through New Year's. It's an opportunity to instill more confidence in Harden during the part of the season where it's still silly to worry about playoff seeding or anything else other than playing complete games and staying healthy.
Sure, the Cavs are pretty bad. They've now lost eight straight overall and eight straight on the road and were on the second half of a back-to-back on Sunday. But it cannot be overstated that it was the first time Oklahoma City played like a contender matched up against a cellar dweller, and one of the first times in the young season that Harden played like the high lottery pick he was.

When students return to school next week in Georgetown County, they will see the results of construction that has taken place over the summer at many of the facilities.
The most noticeable work during the summer has taken place at McDonald Elementary, Maryville Elementary, and Waccamaw High schools but other schools have also received upgrades.
District Superintendent Dr. Randy Dozier said it has been more than 12 years since new schools were built in the county and a routine maintenance plan will keep the district from having to spend money to replace schools that get in poor condition.
Its important that we continue to maintain and keep our buildings up. If we do that, hopefully we will never need a $130 million bond referendum again, Dozier said, referring to the 1998 referendum in which voters gave the district the OK to build new schools and renovate others. We want to keep our facilities current and useful.
Waccamaw High
The Waccamaw Necks only high school has received the lions share of the renovation funds during this construction cycle.
According to Lisa Ackerman, director of procurement and special projects, about $6.9 million has been spent at that school which has received, among other things, a new 600-seat performing arts center.
Dozier said the new auditorium is not only an asset to the school but also is being used by the community. He said in the month of May, 10 to 15 non school events were held in the new facility.
Other work that has taken place at Waccamaw High this summer includes the transformation of the media center into six new classrooms. The old auditorium is now a new state of the art media center.
Two classrooms have been converted into a new science lab.
Ackerman said altogether, 12,800 square feet has been added to the school.
This project is being funded from ARRA funds and savings from other projects funded by general obligation debt, she said.
McDonald Elementary School
Ackerman said about $1.5 million has been spent at McDonald Elementary School where about 4,900 square feet has been added.
This includes the addition of a state of the art media center.
The former media center has been renovated into two special needs classrooms, which includes remedial HVAC and electrical service.
The school now has additional storage space and new restrooms at the multi-purpose room.
This project is being funded in whole through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, specifically Qualified School Construction Bonds, Ackerman said.
Maryville Elementary
At Maryville Elementary, about $1.8 million has been spent adding about 4,900 square feet to the facility.
This includes a new state of the art media center. The former media center has been transformed into two new classrooms and a storage space.
Other work at the school this summer includes:
Remedial work in the existing multipurpose room (plaster repair)
Re-roofing work
Addition of a permanent platform in the existing cafeteria
Additional storage space outside of the cafeteria but within an existing entrance way
Paved parking at the front of school
This project is being funded from a multitude of sources: ARRA funds, savings from other QSCB projects and annual general obligation debt, Ackerman said.
Other projects
Ackerman said the carpet in four schools has been taken out and replaced with tile. They are: Andrews Elementary, Browns Ferry Elementary, Georgetown Middle and Kensington Elementary.
An additional parking lot was added at Waccamaw Elementary while additional parking spaces were added at Andrews High, Carvers Bay Middle, Georgetown Middle and Rosemary Middle.
New sound systems were installed at Andrews High, Carvers Bay High, Carvers Bay Middle, Georgetown Middle and Waccamaw Intermediate.
Restroom renovations took place at Georgetown High and grounds work has taken place at Andrews High.
We are implementing electronic access control at all district sites, Ackerman added.
She said all the work that has taken place has been done to enhance the overall learning experience for our children and our community.
Dozier said all the projects have finished ahead of schedule at or below the amount budgeted.

John McKissick has coached about 5,000 football players during his 61 years at Summerville High School. Tonight, McKissick goes after his 600th career victory, which is more than any football coach at any level. Many of his former players will be in attendance when the Green Wave travels to Ashley Ridge for the 7:30 p.m. game.
Here's how some of his former players remember their legendary coach through the decades:
Bobby Bunch, 1950s
"When I met him, I hoped he would stay at Summerville forever," said Bobby Bunch, who was the quarterback in 1952, McKissick's first year at the school. "When I first met him, there was a twinkle in his eye, some magical quality surrounded him. Then I finally heard the words I dreamed about. He said, 'You are my quarterback.' "
Summerville lost only one game in two years with Bunch at quarterback. His years under McKissick helped him get a football scholarship to the University of South Carolina.
"He motivated us and we ran the same play over, over, over, over and over until we got it right," Bunch said. "He was fair, and I never heard him say a bad word about anybody. I moved back to the area because I wanted my three boys to play for John McKissick."
Dickey Dingle, 1960s
"I think he got the best out of average and ordinary guys," said Dickey Dingle, who played for McKissick from 1966-67 and went into coaching and eventually became principal at Summerville. "He was always fair and was a great motivator, and that influenced me to become an educator."
Dingle laughs when he said he played "loose tackle" for the Green Wave. "I played tight end but, of course, we didn't throw the ball. I would just line up and block like I was a tackle. It was three yards and a cloud of dust.
"He always stressed blocking. I remember one practice when I accidentally pancaked him. He got up and sort of smiled. I think he really appreciated a block like that away from the ball."
Bo Blanton, 1970s
"He really cared about you on the field, but was just as interested in what you did off the field. He taught us to give back to the community," said Bo Blanton, who was the quarterback from 1974-76. He has served on the Dorchester District 2 School Board for 16 years and is course superintendent at the Summerville Country Club.
"He could have moved on, but he decided to stay in Summerville because what he built was something very special," Blanton said. "What he created over time was a fraternity. It doesn't matter when we played for him, but every player is connected. There's that bond."
Keith Jennings, 1980s
"He was a teacher, and he taught us how to block," said Keith Jennings, who went on to play for Clemson and enjoyed a solid NFL career. "Back then we had two or three running backs who gained 1,000 yards because we rarely threw the ball. When we did throw, I would get to catch the ball. But, first, I had to prove I could block. So here's coach, this older gentleman who was in shape, showing me how to block and he's not wearing a shirt. It was something else to see."
Jennings played at Summerville from 1981-84 and was a member of three state championship teams.
"I was up in Clemson this past summer with coach McKissick and we were at a clinic," said Jennings. "Here are coaches from all over the South and the country. They were gravitating to him, asking him questions. That made me proud that I played for him. He's always with me."
Joe Call, 1990s
"Being his grandson, he always had high expectations for me," said Joe Call, a quarterback who played for the Green Wave from 1994-97. "He was always making sure I did the right thing whether it was football, grades or life in general. I was his grandson, but once I made the team, I became one of his players. I was proud to play for my grandfather. Many players say they played for their father, but how many can say they play for their grandfather?"
Call said can't believe the stamina of McKissick at age 86.
"I think he will get 600 and go well past that," Call said. "I am amazed that he's kept going. There were rumors he might retire after I graduated from high school. But he's kept going and why shouldn't he? He loves what he's doing."
A.J. Green, 2000s
"(Coaching) is his passion. I guess that's what keeps him going," A.J. Green told a Cincinnati television reporter this week. "He's a great coach and it's not surprising because I know he's going to coach as long as he can. It's a great milestone for him. It was an honor to play for a great coach like that."
Green was a four-time all-state selection and played for the Green Wave from 2004-07. He now plays for the Cincinnati Bengals.
"It was key for me coming from a great program like that. Just having that winning attitude and approaching every game expecting to win. It's his knowledge of the game. He's been around the game so long.
"The biggest thing is he changes. When I was there, whatever was new, he got on it. That's the biggest thing, he wasn't afraid to change."

First, let me say I don't agree with much of any of the reasons I'm
about to lay out. So if you write and say, 'But this and that and Bob
you're nuts and on and on, fine. But these are just facts as I've heard
them discussed over the past 5 or so years. I don't agree with the
opinions, but here's what I hear as I go from game to game and talk
silently to people at different schools.
Second, let me say that this really is about money. But it's not solely about money to the schools. There are the chamber of commerce's in 32 cities, their mayors, contracts, hotel considerations, and on and on. A playoff puts some of that in jeopardy as I'll lay out throughout the series.
Before reading this please keep in mind. I'm going to toss out a lot of points, and I'm going to back them with the argument for that point. I've got an opinion, I'll share it at the end. But gee, if the message boards and bars don't teach you but one thing at all, it's that the second you finish any sentence, someone's going to yell, 'Yeah but you didn't factor in this and this and this and that tiny x factor and on and on.' The nuances won't be covered, but I'll try to stay with the business of this. Not what we as fans want but why we're not seeing a playoff, and what the real or perceived obstacles are to getting one. Every point in the history of this argument won't be covered, but maybe there'll be a little more truth about what's happening in the back rooms and on the phones with University Presidents.
The debate's welcome. The yelling or stomping feet like children? Not so much. Here we go.
Overview: How do you ensure revenues stay the same or go up for Universities?
Well, there's two ways to do it of course. Raise the revenue or minimize those who share in it. They've tried the latter for the last few years. Or tinkered with it anyway. Simple math says if the number of eligible schools gets down to around 80 the current revenue would match the number of schools getting a piece of the pie and a playoff system could be enacted without disrupting general revenue flows that are currently created by the BCS bowls and the bowl system. Also, for anyone pining for a 16 team playoff you can forget it, it won't happen. I'll lay out why soon. Best thing that can happen next is a +1 format where they don't technically call it a playoff. By not calling it a playoff, they don't have to split the money with all the schools not in the BCS conferences. The second they call it that, they do. Would the revenue make up for the difference? Would it be enough to pay a portion to another 35 or so schools? Not likely for a few reasons. They're already selling all the tickets to those bowl games so that won't go up. What would go up is TV viewership but those revenues would simply go to the networks coffers at this point and the Universities wouldn't benefit. They're already getting whatever they've agreed to. Higher ratings would only help the networks until the system is reworked and revenue is recalculated. Also, they really can add only a couple games at this point anyway, without completely revamping some things, for reasons I'll point out in this series.
Part 1: The Toledo Factor. They don't help earn it, they don't share it.
It's again unspoken but the powers that be aren't interested in sharing that playoff revenue with Toledo, or Akron, or Ball State or Idaho or San Jose State, Troy, Central Michigan or Wyoming. If you're not bringing me revenue why am I sharing it? A few years back the NCAA made it tougher to stay in what was then Division 1 just for this reason. You have to sell X amount of tickets, offer X amount of scholarship, etc. All with the desire to get the numbers down so revenue doesn't have to be shared. 119 or so FBS schools and their need to get that number down to just about 80 to make the numbers work for them. Sorry Toledo. Sorry Cowboys and Spartan fans. I don't agree with them, but from a business standpoint they do have a point. Nobody's watching those games or attending them anywhere near the level of the traditional BCS schools.
I'm not the only one who realizes that the money distribution is a key component in this.

It got shaky in the second half for LSU again but not like it has before a few times this season. And this time, when the Tigers battled UAB at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, the finish was much more effective if not downright dominant.
With forward Johnny O'Bryant taking the game over inside and freshmen Tim Quarterman and Jarell Martin taking quantum steps forward, LSU bolted to a big first-half lead and then slammed the door in much better fashion than the last two games on the way to an impressive 86-63 victory over the Blazers.
The Tigers (8-2) can add this lopsided win over a very good UAB team to a triumph against Butler 20 days earlier as the most notable of the season."UAB is a great team," said O'Bryant, was 6-of-12 from the floor, 5-of-7 from the free-throw line and added 2 of the Tigers' 7 blocked shots. "This is the kind of win that should pretty for our resume'." O'Bryant scored 13 of his 17 points in the second half, Martin looked as at ease as he has all season and delivered a promising performance with 12 points and Quarterman was huge off the bench with 9 points and 9 assists - both career-bests.
On a night when the feisty Blazers did what they did best -- cleaned up on the backboards and generated a bevy of second-chance points -- LSU simply did a few more things better, particularly when it mattered in the second half as a seemingly comfortable double-digit lead began to shrivel.
Down by 16 at halftime, UAB (9-3) clawed within 10 points twice in the second half, the second time when C.J. Washington hit what seemed like his team's 100th follow shot during a potential game-changing surge. UAB finished with 48 rebounds, right at its season average, buoyed by 26 on the offensive end that led to 13 second-chance points.
But LSU didn't crumble when the Blazers found their groove on the glass. In one furious six-possession stretch, UAB produced seven second or third shots with 11 offensive caroms. That led to just four points, though, despite LSU hitting a dry patch of five offensive trips without scoring.
Still ahead 56-44, the Tigers regained control by attacking the Blazers' 2-3 zone. Jordan Mickey buried a pivotal jumper from the circle and then a follow shot, part of his 12-point contribution.
Those two possessions seemed to get LSU back on track and took some of the starch out of the UAB defense.
"The big thing against the zone is, we want to make sure that we work hard and try to get the ball in the middle of their zone - force them to try to help and collapse," LSU coach Johnny Jones said. "And if they won't do that, if we can make shots in those areas, it makes it extremely tough because we can skip it and the perimeter guys get good looks as well."
Which was an important part of the equation as well.
The Tigers shot a respectable 48.5% overall from the floor (32 of 66), but were scorching from outside the arc. LSU cranked in 10 treys (matching a season-best) on 17 tries, with Andre Stringer going 3-of-4 and Anthony Hickey, Martin and Quarterman all connecting on a pair.
With Hickey in foul trouble after getting tagged with his second just 5:09 in the game, Quarterman entered and was a key to the outside shooting. In a pace and style that seemed to fit him perfectly, Quarterman dished out 6 first-half assists, four that led to 3-pointers.
"The defense they were playing, they were backing off me and I was going right at them and got (Stringer) and Jarell involved," Quarterman said. "They hit their shots, and that made it easy for me to facilitate."Added Jones, "Tim came in and did an excellent job on the offensive end of the floor making some extra passes. I thought the offense had a great flow with him."
Right after Mickey's four quick points, O'Bryant snatched an offensive board and scored inside and Quarterman rattled in a 3 and then scored on a fast-break layup at the 7:34 juncture to push the lead back to 69-53.
Fahro Alihodzic stuck back a missed Chad Frazier layup with 5:08 to go to get UAB within 72-57, and perhaps in position to do what Louisiana-Monroe and Texas Tech had done in LSU's previous two games - make the Tigers sweat out the final minutes.
Not this time, though.
LSU did hit a brief lull, missing five point-blank shots in a row and throwing the ball away two on other possessions. But coming out of the final media timeout, the Tigers charged to the finish line by hitting 5-of-7 field goals and scoring on six of seven trips to their end.
Fittingly, the two biggest backbreakers came when Stringer buried a 3-pointer to give LSU its first 20-point cushion and moments later when Martin hauled in a fast-break pass from Quarterman and jackhammered home an alley-oop slam dunk.
Afterward Martin was all smiles, a change from most of the first six weeks of his freshman campaign when he has been slowed by a high ankle sprain.
"I went out and played a good game," he said. "I'm very proud of myself. My comfort level was very high I knocked down some wide-open shots and the ankle was 100%.
"It was great for Tim to play that well and for me to be comfortable. I think this game shows we can keep getting better and better as we get experience."
Jones echoed his talented freshman's assessment.
"That's a huge plus to have those two guys perform like that against a team of this caliber. ...I think at the end of the day both are freshman. I think they are going to go through what freshmen go through, but I think they showed (Saturday) what they're capable of doing."
LSU turned in its best half of the season in the initial 20 minutes to barrel in front 49-33.
The Tigers clicked in almost every way, shooting 51.3% -- most importantly burying 7-of-11 from 3-point range - dishing out 14 assists and turning the ball over only twice.
After two early ties at 2-2 and 4-4, LSU rolled up a 13-4 outburst, ignited when Martin and Hickey cranked in 3-pointers on three straight possessions.
When Hickey followed his own fast-break missed shot at the 15:09 mark, the Tigers were ahead 17-8 and had the Blazers reeling.
It seemed like UAB caught a break moments later when Hickey was called for his second foul after scoring 8 points, corralling 3 rebounds and recording an assist and a steal in the opening 5:09. Not so much, though, because Quarterman entered and started dissecting the Blazers' defense.
Frazier hit a pair of free throws after the foul on Hickey to close the gap to 17-11, but Quarterman triggered another 11-3 burst with three of his 6 first-half assists in a 1:50 span - feeding Martin and Stringer for 3s and then Shavon Coleman on a transition hoop that swelled the lead to 27-14 with 12:15 to go before halftime.
The Blazers struggled to hit shots early, missing 13 of their first 22. They finally warmed up and scored on four straight possessions to claw back within 36-27. Before things got any closer, Stringer swished a jumper from the circle and Mickey grabbed an offense rebound and dropped in a jump hook.
That led to a 10-4 half-closing run and the comfortable cushion at the break that set the Tigers up for their best home win this season.
"The bottom line is they are a really good basketball team, and they have a lot of size," UAB coach Jerod Haase said. "We tried everything against them, but they were really efficient."
LSU takes a week off for Christmas before hosting McNeese State at 7 p.m. on Dec. 28.

more importantly vitali is a consumate professional who respected the sport his entire career and as a result it respected him back even late in his career. hatton abused his body in the ring with his lack of defense and outside the ring with his poor habits, layoff or not it was gonna catch up with him.

Calzaghe retired with good performances though. A couple of knock downs and against older fighters, but good performances. So I think his comeback would have gone a lot smoother. But it's too late now, it's been 4 years for Calzaghe.
It's also been 4 years for DLH and he had a mediocre performance against a very small, light punching Steve Forbes at 150lbs. His face got all swollen from Forbes punches. Then we all know what happened with Pacquiao at 147lbs.
Your comeback depends on how you left the sport. It doesn't even matter for how long.
Foreman: 10 years away, left with a pretty good record, came back successfully. Didn't embarrass himself despite his age.
Vitali: 4 years, left with an injury but on top. Came back, has barely lost a round.
Mayweather: Has taken two nearly 2-year retirements, came back both times successfully and is still undefeated.

When the news of his opponent came out, this Senchenko guy, I was obviously wondering who he was like many fringe boxing fans.
So I wiki'ed him and I could not believe my eyes - Rick had picked a previously unbeaten, single loss champion for his first opponent back?? Even Ali didnt do that! From that point I really didnt figure Hatton had more than a puncher's chance, although I watched the fight because he is one of the most exciting fighters in his division to see. He outdid himself, considering the fatton and drugs during his lay-off.

A 16-YEAR-OLD secondary student of Charity Housing Scheme on the Essequibo Coast ended her life tragically by suicide early yesterday morning.According to reports, the student, Talia Da Silva, who attended the Charity Secondary School, became angry that morning after her mother took away her cell phone.
Reports said the student argued with her mother and in passion locked herself in her bedroom and took her life by hanging herself with a piece of rope from a beam in the house, just as her mother left the home.
Reports said the tragic death of the student has sent shock waves through the Charity Housing Scheme, especially at the school she attended. She was looking forward to the last day at school with her friends and teachers.
She has left to mourn her mother, who is a single parent, two brothers and a sister.
Region 2, over the past few months, has lost several young people as a result of suicide.
A 17-year-old girl of New Road Village several weeks ago ended her life by ingesting a deadly poison, while another 17-year-old girl of Affiance recently ended her life by hanging herself with a piece of rope. Only a few days ago, another young woman died at the Suddie Hospital after ingesting a deadly poison. Reports said she was highly qualified at the CXC level.
Several residents are now calling for action to be taken by the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security and for religious leaders to come forward and help to stop the suicide rate in the region.

How Did Grant Balfour Convince Joe Maddon To Allow Him To Face David Ortiz?
Joe Maddon Shows Trust In Grant Balfour
In Game One of today's Rays and Red Sox game Grant Balfour convinced Joe Maddon to allow him to face David Ortiz with first base open in the ninth inning with the game tying run in?Dustin Pedroia at second base. Balfour got Ortiz to ground out to first baseman James Loney to end the game.
Can't remember the last time a pitcher talked me out of something but Balfour did today on whether to pitch to Big Papi. It worked out.

Brian Davis on James Harden: "Thunder rookie James Harden did not hesitate when I asked him what the biggest adjustment has been so far as he transitions from college to professional basketball. "All of the free time," he replied. No juggling sports and academics here. No early morning practices before classes start. Or squeezing in a couple of hours of reading between your last class and the beginning of practice. Or taking an exam in a hotel meeting room in Corvallis because you have a road game at Oregon State. So what does Harden do in his free time? He goes to basketball games."
NBA TV has decided to air a few Summer League games for the rest of the week, but don't get too excited – no Thunder games to be found. But 4 of the 6 that the network is showing involves the New York Knicks though. Thanks for nothing NBA TV. I hate you.
Protect the Paint reviews some studs from the Summer Leagues: "James Harden – Not too surprising that the player considered by the majority of scouts to be the "most NBA ready" went to his first summer league and was one of the best players on the floor. Averaged 14.8 points and 3.5 rebounds in forming an impressive tandem with Russell Westbrook. Coach Scott Brooks has to be excited and the organization confident they made the right choice in the draft. He flew west and is currently playing in the Las Vegas Summer League. Needs to: Mentally and physically prepare for an 82-game season. His game is complete."
I did a little Q&A with NBATipoff.com. Nothing that spectular or life-changing in there, but it's words to read nonetheless.
Kevin Arnovitz of TrueHoop: "Thunder general manager Sam Presti loves to collect versatile pieces to round out an increasingly mature Oklahoma City roster. To that end, Kyle Weaver's game is hard not to like. He wasn't the Thunder's top scorer Thursday, but he gave his team a reliable handle, solid on-ball defense for most of the night on George Hill, and some timely shooting. The Thunder's backcourt is standing room only, but in Weaver, Scott Brooks has a guy who knows his way around the court."
Could Chris Paul be traded?: "New Orleans star point guard Chris Paul insisted he was serious when he said there's a chance he soon could be traded. Paul was interviewed Thursday by Pro Basketball News, and asked about his team's financial situation. The Hornets are staring at being well over the luxury tax, and might have to dump some big contracts. "In this league, anything can happen," said Paul, at the summer league to watch his Hornets. "I can be dealt." Paul then was asked that surely he can't be serious he could be traded. "It's possible," he said. "It's possible." I guess the question is: What would you give up to get him?
Darnell Mayberry on Robert Vaden's breakout game: "Keefe said the coaching staff never was concerned about Vaden. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard, Keefe said, still contributed by playing solid defense and spreading the floor by being a threat to knock down long-range shots. Vaden said he's paid more attention to his defense, which he's been criticized for in the past. But he's also made an impression on the Thunder's staff with his dedication to becoming a better player."
David Thorpe on Hasheem Thabeet, who was less than impressive last night: "Griffin has 8 and 10 in 16 mins. Thabeet has 2 and 1 in 13 … That's why some people thought it was a 1 player draft. If doctors switched their hearts, Thabeet would be a hall of fame certainty, and Griffin would be a junior in college somewhere studying."
Thorpe on the Thunder's game: "Ibaka! (I've written that a few times this month). He's not as sharp as he was week one. Mentally tired … Ibaka can shoot. His face up game is more advanced than his post game. Kyle Weaver fighting hard to keep his spot."
From Jason Fleming's chat yesterday: "With the cap space we have do you see the Thunder maybe facilitating a treade between teams to maybe gain an asset? Jason Fleming: Absolutely – Sam Presti loves those kinds of deals. That's how they ended up with Sefolosha and three first-round picks in two Kurt Thomas trades, by basically doing teams favors. That's what the Grizz are doing now. If the Thunder do do this, they will likely not take on deals at more than one year, and might demand a pick along with it."
Utah matched for Paul Millsap: "That much was made known today, when — one day prior to the deadline for doing so — it was decided by the Jazz that they'd definitely be matching the four-year $32 offer sheet that their restricted free agent power forward signed late last week with the Portland Trail Blazers. That would be with the one with about $10.3 million — including a $5.6 million bonus, and approximately $4.7 million of $6.3 first-season salary — due to be paid before the end of the month."
Shoals writing about the NBA's potential return to Seattle: "During the slow, tumultuous process that was the Sonics' exit, David Stern became almost as reviled in the Emerald City as arch-fiend Clay Bennett. At least Bennett has neatly transformed the stolen team into a cult favorite among non-Seattle NBA-headz. Stern, he still has to answer for one of the more perplexing decisions of his tenure as king."
Highlights of last night's game:

Will You Marry Me?
Garth Brooks Poses for a Statue, Then Poses the Big Question at the Unveiling. And Longtime Love Trisha Yearwood Says Yes
But the actual ring-offering clincher was the sort of experience you'd have to be a country legend to experience—or cook up. Brooks popped the question before a crowd of 7,000 screaming fans at the unveiling of a bronze statue of himself at Buck Owens's Crystal Palace, a country-music complex run by the former Hee Haw star in Bakersfield, Calif. Brooks, who has stayed mainly out of the spotlight since announcing his retirement in 2000, strolled onstage with Yearwood's hand in his for the unveiling of the work, which stands nearly 8 ft. tall and weighs 1,000 lbs. (The event showcased nine other bronzed legends as well, including Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Elvis Presley.) After yanking off a gold cloth to reveal the statue, Brooks pointed out a curious detail on the sculpture's left hand: a wedding band he had asked artist Bill Rains to include. Realizing what was up, Yearwood pouted playfully and said, "You're not going [to do this] in front of these people?"
He was. Brooks whipped off his hat, got down on his right knee and asked, "Will you marry me?" Yearwood instantly said yes and dabbed away a tear.
Despite living with Brooks in recent years, the bride-to-be was completely taken by surprise, according to people who watched her backstage afterward. "Her knees were like Jell-O," says Jerry Hufford, talent coordinator for the Palace. "She was totally stunned. Minutes after the proposal, we asked if she'd like to perform onstage with Garth, and she replied, 'I don't think I can make it up the stairs.' It took her a while to regain composure. You could tell she'd been crying." She decided not to sing after all, while Brooks—in one of his very rare performances—belted out his own "Friends in Low Places" and the George Strait hit "Amarillo by Morning."
Still, the event couldn't have come as a complete shock: At a May 18 Las Vegas press conference for the Academy of Country Music Awards, Brooks hinted at an upcoming event that he said would rank emotionally with the births of his daughters with ex-wife Sandy Brooks, 40: Taylor, 12, August, 11, and Allie, 8. "Some of us guessed he was going to announce he was coming out of retirement," says Jim Shaw, who produced the Palace show. "Some guessed the proposal. We knew it wasn't that he was getting a new Hummer." Even so, Shaw says he didn't learn Brooks was definitely planning to propose until moments before the singer got down on his knee, and the reaction of the crowd was so wild, he adds, "the hair on the back of my neck raised up."
Garth said it was that sculpture that made him decide to cement the relationship. "When the sculptor told me that these bronzes will last for 2-3,000 years, it got me thinking about another thing in my life that will last that long—my love for Trisha." Later he told one interviewer, "I'm just glad she said yes."
And how did the statue come to wear a ring? Late last year sculptor Bill Rains sent a photographer to shoot stills of the singer, 43, for the Crystal Palace project. In February Brooks phoned Rains saying he wanted a change in the sculpture but declined to spell out exactly what it was. Instead he flew to Rains's Billings, Mont., studio and pulled out a ring—a gold-and-platinum band with ornate etchings, says Rains. "He said, 'Hey, pal, I want you to put this on the statue. By the time this is in bronze, we'll be married. It's our secret.' " Brooks later called to tell him a twist on the still secret plan: "When Trish sees the ring on the statue, I'll fall on my knees and propose."
And that's the plan that stuck. As for the ring presented onstage to the bride-to-be, Yearwood, 40, hasn't divulged any details. No wedding date is set yet either. According to a friend, when he asked, Yearwood answered, "Oh God, it's so early."
The relationship, though, is already time-tested. Says Brooks's friend singer Dan Roberts: "They're obviously madly in love." Good friends since they were both struggling talents new to Nashville and recording demos in the early 1980s, Brooks and Yearwood made a pact that whoever succeeded first would help the other person out. That turned out to be Brooks, who took Yearwood on the road as the opening act on his first arena tour in 1991. At the time, Brooks was married to Sandy, whom he had met in an Oklahoma nightclub in 1983 and wed in '86. By the time Garth and Sandy Brooks divorced in 2001, Yearwood was also divorced from second husband Robert Reynolds, bassist with the Mavericks.
Throughout their respective relationships, Brooks and Yearwood were there for each other. As a friend of Brooks's once said, "He's been in love with her for years." But the transition from friendship to relationship was very quiet. Their first PDA was holding hands at a memorial service for Nashville songwriter Harlan Howard in 2002. Little by little, the pair began popping up together at Nashville restaurants and events. But prior to last week's big proposal neither Brooks or Yearwood has been willing to reveal too much about their life together. She splits her time between her own place in Nashville and the 100-acre ranch outside Tulsa he shares with his daughters (there's even a home for ex-wife Sandy on the property). "It's a very small town," Yearwood told PEOPLE days before the engagement. An Oklahoma native, "he moved back so he could be with his kids. I came here because he was here. It reminds me of how I grew up," in Monticello, Ga. "We don't go out and do a bunch of stuff. There's a lot of soccer games."
Apparently they don't need too many outside distractions anyway. "Those two have a chemistry of friendship about them," says Dan Roberts. "They have a tremendous respect for one another, and I know Garth just places her on a pedestal. I think they'll live happily ever after."
