Comments Thread For: Guerrero Demands Mayweather Jr. After Berto Beatdown
by Cliff Rold - 29-year old former Featherweight and Jr. Lightweight titlist Robert Guerrero (31-1-1, 18 KO) of Gilroy, California, made it 2-0 in the Welterweight division on Saturday night with a gripping, physical win over 29-year old former WBC and IBF Welterweight titlist Andre Berto (28-2, 22 KO), scoring knockdowns in the first and second rounds en route to a unanimous decision on Saturday night at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California. Guerrero retained his WBC interim belt at Welterweight and positioned himself for a possible fight with WBC and lineal World Welterweight Champion Floyd Mayweather.
Both men came into the bout just below the 147 lb. limit, Guerrero at 146 ¾ and Berto at 146 ½.
Guerrero came out measured behind his southpaw right jab, Berto defensive behind a tight left shoulder. Loading up with big, fast shots, Berto fired one at a time while Guerrero kept his hands moving and touching. The men stepped close together and Guerrero fired a perfect left down the pipe. It didnt look like it landed too hard, but Berto was visibly shaken. Berto tried to tie up and Guerrero cupped his head with his right glove, landing three more short lefts to drop Berto for a count. Berto beat the count and went to the corner shaking his head. [Click Here To Read More]

I don't want Floyd-Guerrero. It's a decent fight, on the level of a Pac-Clottey, but does nothing for Floyd. Guerrero didn't really impress me that much tonight, not nearly as much as Ortiz did against Berto, when he battered Berto the last half of the fight an dominated him. Yeah Guerrero won a wide decision, he basically just threw more and out worked Berto, who just laid there eating punches.
Guerrero should fight Maidana, Bradley, or even Matthysse.

Guerrero is one of the top 147 pounders and Floyd is getting old. Guerrero proved he was hungry and on a mission against Berto, if he brings that same mindset against Floyd which is likely because he could really make his name off of Floyd he could possibly make it very interesting. If Floyd is the same guy he has been he should be able to deal with Guerrero and win but it could get very interesting especially if Floyd has faded a bit more. A hungry rough and tumble fighter with skills could cause him to age even more during the fight~

Chair Mike Jarrett called the meeting to order at 12:10 p.m. The minutes of the previous Senate
meeting were approved.
M. Jarrett
Faculty, staff, and students are invited to a meeting in the Community Room on Friday, November 8,at 12 noon to discuss CEO candidates. Dean Disney is surprised to have received so few commentsfrom the members of the campus. Please e-mail comments to Dean Disney at firstname.lastname@example.com.
J. McCormick
Undergraduate research stipends for $500 are available throughout the year. Applications are available at the Commonwealth College web site.
Dean Gleason is currently developing a Teaching Effectiveness Grant. The criteria is still being established, and the program probably will be rolled out in December. The possibility exists that collaborative projects will be more highly funded, so proposals for such projects should be developed for Summer and Fall 2003.
Additional money for equipment purchases has been made available for York. The money must be spent by the end of the current fiscal year.
H. Gumke
Upgrades for the Conference Center are being considered, notably better, soundproof partitions. Currently $70,000 is available for improvements. An additional $50,000 from UCIF might be used for projectors, screens, wireless devices.
J. McCormick
The funds are not limited to Conference Center improvements. Comments for other projects can be sent to Joe (jpm32).
L. Berkowitz
Requests from Science and Engineering faculty need to be kept in mind constantly for when funds become available.
M. Jarrett
Upgrades for other rooms might be cheaper and have a higher priority. Shawn Foley needs to be involved in these conversations to provide pedagogical rationale for decisions. Requests need to be more fully vetted through the Campus Senate, perhaps in connection with Space Reallocation.
F. Haag
Can the extra money be used to fund items in the strategic plan left unfunded?
H. Gumke
Funds come from major maintenance and cannot be floated to other projects.
D. Folkers
Conference Center improvement requests originate from two sources: Continuing Education, which uses the classrooms all the time, and from a broader sense that the Conference Center currently is not functional for full-scale conferences.
B. Himmer
Senate committees like Info Tech and Support Services should be involved in the process and doing the work currently being done by administration. The budget creation process should originate with the administration and then involve the committees to put together proposals.
S. Christ
The start day for Fall 2003 is Tuesday, September 2, the day after Labor Day. Because Convocation usually takes place on the Monday before classes, the campus has two options to avoid a conflict: (1) Move Convocation to Friday, August 29; or (2) ask the CEO to petition UP to allow the campus to begin classes on Wednesday, September 3.
Sharon will check to see if that instruction day is then lost or recouped in the schedule.
The Campus Senate unanimously endorses option 2.
D. Van de Streek
University Libraries has asked each campus to create an Appeals committee to hear complaints about library fees. The committee would be made up of four individuals: a faculty member, a student, a staff member, and a library staff member. The committee would probably meet only once or twice a semester. UP has established guidelines.
The question is whether or not this committee should be a Senate subcommittee. The Appeals Committee would be advisory to the Library; it would not establish or alter policy. Other models of such committees currently exist (bookstore, parking fees). The committee would provide binding advice for the library.
The Senate unanimously endorses the idea that the Appeals Committee not be a standing subcommittee of the Senate.
M. Hoch
The Schedule Evaluation Committee will be distributing two surveys, one to students and one to faculty, to determine what problems exist with current scheduling procedures. The differences between the two surveys are currently being worked out. Anyone who would like to see the surveys before they are distributed is welcome.
The Science Speakers series is set to go beginning February 5 and running through April 9. Each speaker will present at 7 p.m. in the Community Room. All topics science will be discussed during the course of the lecture series.
Upon receiving by September 10 from the appropriate budget administrator a draft budget proposal for next academic year, each committee chair will initiate committee consideration of the proposal. Committee consideration of budget matters will be concluded by October 20, at which time committee chairs will forward their committee's budget recommendations to the Senate Chair.
Upon receipt of the committees' budget recommendations, the Senate Chair will promptly circulate the recommendations to all Senate members for review. Any Senate consideration of budget proposals will be completed by the end of the Fall Semester, and the Senate Chair will forward the Senate's recommendations to the Chair of the Strategic Planning Committee by December 31. Should the necessity arise, the Senate may reconsider a budget proposal after December 31.
M. Jarrett
This process of budgeting should be item #1 in the next front-line staff meeting and item #1 at the next Strategic Planning Committee meeting.
A. Hasan
The Senate Chair should have a meeting with the committee and subcommittee chairs to inform them of deadlines and to discuss budgets. Committee chairs can generate budget requests on their own as well.
B. Himmer
The CEO is responsible for generating budget figures, not the Senate Chair.
B. Ward
Introduction of Will Brander, SGA Vice President.
Clubs and organizations are doing very well. The Debate Club is participating in a competition at the University of Pennsylvania this weekend. The Community Service Club is working with the York Rescue Mission during the next two weekends packaging and serving food in anticipation of Thanksgiving. The Volleyball Club played York College's two teams and beat the B team.
The Caucus of Student Governments is meeting this weekend at Mont Alto to establish a uniform set of guidelines for student government and clubs. Three members from the York campus will be attending.
THON requests of faculty and staff will be forthcoming.
Based on feedback, students seem to be actively participating on Senate committees.
Frank Miller distributed an enrollment report and answered faculty questions concerning it.
A. Fetterman/T. Getz
I am following up on a comment made ten minutes ago at the York Campus Senate meeting. There is frequently quite a "crush" around the copying machine in the adjunct faculty office near the mailboxes. My understanding is that that machine is available to any faculty or staff on the campus. However, I would ask that if another copier is available to you -- in ISTC, in the copying room (Carole Wagner), in a staff area -- please use it instead of the one in the adjunct area. Perhaps the process here can
simply be one of courtesy -- not disrupting adjunct work in that office and giving adjunct faculty first dibs on the machine whenever possible.
M. Jarrett
To better distinguish Penn State York from HACC, the campus should establish a statement of best practices regarding the use of all fixed term faculty, in anticipation of the arrival of the new CEO. A committee needs to be formed to establish these practices, and volunteers for this committee are welcome.
Looking at data over the past half dozen years to track the use of fixed term faculty
Tracking the percentage of classes offered by tenured/tenure-line faculty vs. fixed term faculty via discipline
Looking at where PSY students go once they have graduated
Chair Jarrett adjourned the meeting at 1:25 p.m.

Catfight: Women and Competition
Leora Tanenbaum
Catfight: Women and Competition is Leora Tanenbaum's dissection of the gender war waged among women. Tanenbaum meticulously analyzes the roots of destructive competitiveness among women, asserting that "catfights" thrive because, despite women's many gains, American women are conditioned to regard each other as adversaries rather than allies. She investigates the arenas—from diets to dating, from the boardroom to the delivery room—in which American women are apt to compare their lives with the lives of others in a tacit contest over who is the "better" woman, a contest in which no one wins. In a hopeful conclusion, Tanenbaum also finds two instances, one historical and one contemporary, in which women have successfully cooperated to achieve legal and social change: suffrage and sports.
Throughout Catfight, Leora Tanenbaum puts her own life experiences under the lens of scrutiny. As a writer, a friend, a mother, a wife, and a daughter, she analyzes her own insecurities and socialization, and how they influence her relations with other women. With the sociologist's perspective of Barbara Ehrenreich and the feminist's outrage of Gloria Steinem, Tanenbaum demythologizes the age-old "catfight."
"Leora is one of the most astute and thoughtful of the new generation of feminist writers, bringing both a rare warmth and a courageous conviction to all her work." —Elizabeth Wurtzel, author of Prozac Nation and Bitch
"Although many women feel no choice but to endure constant pressure and self-doubt, Tanenbaum counters that competition is a learned behavior, not human nature, and the consequences are rarely worth the meager rewards. The book's accessible approach to the contradictions between feminist rhetoric and women's real experiences, especially in the still-controversial realm of working mothers, is sure to attract even more attention for this fast-rising social critic." —Publishers Weekly
"Tanenbaum's inquiry, which focuses (though not exclusively) on young white American women of means, blends well-documented research, interviews, and personal reflection in a lively, accessible style." —Janet Ingraham Dwyer, Worthington P.L., OH

Kittens, Gay Panda does not care what you are wearing. You can sag to the center of the earth or bare that midriff to the heavens, you can sport ridiculous shoes or whatever that red diaper thing was that Ke$ha wore under a flag shirt in her We R Who We R video, and I'm not interested. I might shake my head and wonder about what psychological damage has resulted in you relishing that kind of attention, but that's it.
However, I draw the line at a Twilight shirt which reads, "Edward can bite my pillows, break my headboard, and bruise my body anyday." That is SICK.
If you are bored this evening (as Gay Panda is since Gay Panda really should be cooking and is looking for anything to procrastinate) write in what fashion offense crosses YOUR line for all of us to enjoy!

Ahhhhh!! You are doing so incredible! Congrats on the new low
oh yay for the Panda!!! That is so awesome! what a great feeling!
I'm doing the happy dance for ya!!!
Goal: Don't worry be happy!
I have many things I consider to be minor offenses, but there are some that cheese me off.
-Peep-toe boots: they make no logical sense. when the hell would it be cold enough for boots (knee high or thigh high in some cases) but hot enough for open toed shoes
-extremely long fingernails: again, practicality overrules whatever cool factor you think they have.
-Logoed clothing: Right, because I'm going to pay you to advertise for you? I think not.
-extremely skanky clothing: honey, have some respect for yourself and keep that in the house.
-stripper shoes: see above
-Anything that makes me go "oh, honey, no. What WERE you thinking?"
-skinny jeans or low cut shirts on a guy. Just no.
-extremely oversized gangsta clothing. It's just comical to try and watch them waddle along like penguins, holding their crotch like they hafta take a piss.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"

History of sagging "gangsta" pants: In prison, it indicates whether you are available for teh butt sex. I'm not sure that rappers and kids these days realize this or they'd be wearing belts.
Depression Lies
I have a saying, that it seems I say EVERY time I am around people:
"Just cuz they make it in your size does not mean you should wear it"
I see women wearing horrible clothing. Is it comfortable to wear a size 12 pant when you are an 18? With a shirt that is WAY too short......mix the two up and the look is horrible! They are constantly tugging at their clothes AND they end up looking bigger than they are!
I also cannot stand it when women have their boobs hanging out all the time........save it for the bedroom, or when you are out on the prowl. And if you are on the prowl at 8am at the grocery store then you have serious problems. Crap leave something for the imagination.
Men.....Again, if the shirt is too tight, or too short, get a bigger size. No one wants to see your gut......really! AND I dont want to see your boxers, or your tighty whiteys. Showing off the crack of your arse does not turn me on........As mentioned before, that may work in prison, but not in the free world.
And my biggest pet peeve. Do not come to me asking for a job when you look like you just rolled out of bed. You dont have to come in your Sunday best, but don't come in jeans, flip flops, and a skaters T-shirt with stains on it. Come in clean clothes that do not smell like cigarettes! I talk to at least 20 people a day asking me for a job, it is amazing what a little effort can do for their employment!

As the name suggests, cloud computing is an emerging computing technology which uses the internet and central remote servers to maintain data and applications accordingly. With its ability to access personal files from any computer via internet without any installation has made cloud computing a vital factor in today's business activities. This so called technology opened the doors for much more efficient computing by centralizing storage, memory, processing and bandwidth. This new methodology of cloud computing can be broken down into three major segments. Those are namely:
- Applications
- Platforms
- Infrastructure
Each of the above mentioned segments serves a different purpose according to the requirement and offers different products mainly for businesses around the world. It also serves the individuals as well. According to a research study done in June 2009, found that 41% of senior IT professionals in different industries actually does not know what cloud computing is and two-thirds of senior finance professionals again in various industries around the world are confused by the concept. Again in Sept 2009, another research group of study found that disciplined companies achieved on average an 18% reduction in their IT budget and a 16% reduction in data center power costs mainly due to the concept of cloud computing.
The Problem Domain
It is true that to move towards cloud computing is a huge commitment for a business to take. The common question which arises among many IT/Business professionals is that, when your applications and sometimes even your data isn't stored, managed, and controlled by your own business, isn't it a huge risk that you and your business taking, mainly due to the possibility that the provider of those things could disappear or have some major catastrophe with the data itself. So then the interesting "Why would any business take such a risk?" question arises. Lets figure out the answer for it.
If you consider yourself as a technology savvy or else if you are in the field of IT, then definitely there would seem to be a little benefit moving towards cloud computing model. The lack of understanding is almost the definition of that appeal to the business side, but it is important to foresee your company future in order to succeed. Subscription based cloud computing model becomes a fixed cost to a controllable service of many business oriented strategy models. Main reason behind it is that the capability to bypass their own in house IT shops. These shops are seen as increasingly expensive, risky, and obviously difficult to manage or control. When and argument arises for a reduced budget from the business side, the IT guys always has big, dire, scary and sometimes valid reasons so that nobody can argue with them because nobody really understands the concept behind it. This constitutes a management threat, and that is why the post of a CIO was introduced to the industry. Many less technologically savvy CEO's are constantly feeling as though they can't manage their IT departments well. The IT departments of a certain size seem to forget the fact that the only reason they exist is to sell more or make more of whatever the business does. They become driven by their own project goals and not the business goals, which make things more confusing.
Another way of looking towards it is that, cloud computing picks up on the same threads as outsourcing, which was the last biggest revolution which happened in the IT industry sometime back. Many experts believe that if the business can treat IT as a simple cost of doing business, and hand it over to a specialized IT company in order to manage the whole scenario of IT activities, that they can control costs and increase reliability. Now the question arises of has it been a reality as expected. Well, basically the answer is, No. the main reason behind it is, that those firms whom have outsourced IT departments have not ended up saving much money as expected. It is also known that, these outsourced firms suffer the same problems as the internal departments did, but with less pressure since they are under less direct management control. Many companies find themselves faced with the very expensive proposition of restructuring their own IT departments. After doing everything, in some cases, they do not even own the server hardware and other accessories. Yes they are trapped again, but in a different manner or with a different architecture.
Efficiencies of Cloud Computing
After considering the above problem domain, it is clear that most of the businesses lack efficiency in their process or in their business activity model. Cloud computing appears to offer some great efficiency, with some massive resource consolidation in terms of server hardware and a centralized management system for data security, backup methods, and development are few areas that could really benefit any business process. Interoperability, which is a common requirement these days, tends to increase in these environments, and when the applications are built well, users do like them. Ultimately, there is a high probability of all of us working in a heavily cloud computing driven marketplace. It is still young and lacks experience, but in the long run, it will go that way more and more.
Cloud Computing and the Long Run
There have been many predictions about IT but unfortunately you get accounted very rarely for it. Within this article, I will be pointing out some broad predictions made by many IT analysts. Some will come true, some will not; but this is how they see and predict the market will be in 10 years.
Basically, internet is known as a "Cloud". Just as there is no such thing called "The" internet, but rather a lot of interconnected networks owned by a huge variety of people, nations, and companies. It is also obvious that there will be a few very robust and interoperable frameworks. All applications we use in order to read mail, to create documents, and to work with each other will be included within this framework.
If we take a few steps back and consider the beginning, there was computing hardware. It was small, functionality was limited and to make it do anything it had to be hard-wired to do it. Then came the BIOS systems and provided separation from that specific complexity. Later, it was the Disk Operating System which came along and provided a consistent way for programs to interface with hardware through the BIOS. With the usage and demand for different operating systems, made them to introduce the thread security and prevented direct access to the BIOS or Hardware. Although every other OS supported this feature, Microsoft didn't. In the recent past, the GUI (Graphical User Interfaces) came along as Windows, MAC OS, X-Windows, etc. started to provide a simplified way for users and programs to interact with frameworks like Google Desktop and Adobe Air, which was built on the work of run time frameworks like .NET, Java Eclipse, Notes, and others.
Each new layer of separation seems to increase rapidly to generalization so that the programmers can enjoy when working on to create new tools. Ultimately, with the time being these frameworks will grow robust enough to offer more security, stability, user interface, data storage, and functionality required for truly robust micro-applications to become pervasive. This is where the point when cloud computing will come into play.
Infrastructure of Cloud
Infrastructure is known as the backbone of the entire cloud computing concept. Many infrastructure vendors provide the required physical storage space and processing capabilities that allow for the all the services which was discussed earlier in this article. The products that I have discussed within this article are slightly more varied than those in the other areas of cloud computing, but it includes ones such as managed hosting and development environments in order to allow users to build applications.
Why Shift Towards Cloud Computing?
So lets figure out now who is affected by a paradigm shift in the computing industry? The shift would affect companies with a few different sub-industries including software companies, ISP (Internet Service Providers) and hardware manufacturers. Companies in each of these industries will face some significant changes if cloud computing is to be the next step for the industry, and it seems to be so. While it is relatively easy to see how the main software and internet companies will be affected by such a shift, it will make the process slightly more easier for the hardware and internet industries.
This article explains basics about cloud computing, where it focuses on applications, platforms and infrastructure relevant to business activities. Next it focuses on a typical problem domain which highlights IT Outsourcing and explains the pitfalls of it. Then this article directly points out the efficiencies of cloud computing and how it can help to improve business activities. Then the article ends by focusing on the backbone of cloud computing, which is known as the infrastructure of cloud computing.

Steve Jobs 1955-2011
Ciara O'Brien
By now, you'll have heard the news that Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple, died yesterday at the age of 56. Whether you view him as a visionary, a marketing genius, businessman, he leaves behind some shoes that are almost impossible to fill.
Counted among the greatest chief executives of a generation, Jobs is credited with dragging Apple out of near-bankruptcy and turing it into one of the most valuable companies in the world.
His death, although sad, won't come as a shock to many people. Jobs's health problems have been widely publicised in recent years; in 2004, he revealed he had surgery to treat a rare form of pancreatic cancer and had a liver transplant in 2009, before taking another round of medical leave in January this year.
At the end of August, he announced he was stepping aside as chief executive, saying he could no longer fulfil his duties. Days afterwards, a photograph of a frail-looking Jobs was published, leading to further speculation about his health. And then there was his failure to appear at the unveiling of the iPhone 4S on Tuesday.
In the early hours of this morning, his death was announced by Apple, and a tribute now runs on the tech firm's homepage. Flags are flying at half mast in Cupertino, and already tributes have begun pouring in from public figures and business leaders. Barack Obama has called him a visionary. Bill Gates described working with him as "an insanely great honour". Sony CEO Howard Stringer said "the digital age has lost its leading light".
Jobs may be one of the greatest chief executives of a generation, but to many people, he was a lot more than that. Soon after his death was announced, memorials began springing up outside Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, and at Apple stores around the world.
It's hard to escape Jobs's influence, even if you aren't a Mac fan or have never picked up an iPhone. His fingerprints are everywhere.
The Apple II, for example, invented by Jobs and co-founder Steve Wozniack, was one of the first lines of commercially successful personal computers. You may never have laid hands on one, but it helped influence what came afterwards. It was so successful, Apple would make Jobs a multi millionaire before he reached 25 years of age.
The iPod was not the first digital music player on the market, but it became the most popular. The iPhone wasn't the first smartphone either, but it certainly helped drive interest in the sector, with the end result that many people now carry iPhones or Android smartphones.
The company has revolutionised the music industry, how we consume media, how we get online.
A rising tide lifts all ships, and with Jobs at the helm, Apple was certainly providing some momentum.
It could have all been so different though. In 1985, Jobs was forced out of the company he co-founded after a power struggle.
In his years away from Apple, he bought what would become Pixar studios and established another tech company, NeXT.
In the meantime, Apple's fortunes were waning. At one point, it was said to be weeks away from bankruptcy. But in 1997, Apple announced it had bought NeXT and Steve Jobs was once more back in the fold. He took over as interim CEO that year, and in 2000, he was again the permanent head of Apple.
When Jobs took over as interim CEO, the company had losses of $1.8 billion. These days, it rivals Exxon Mobil as the world's most valuable company. And in the intervening years, it has had numerous successful product launches – the iPod, the iPhone, the MacBook Air, the iPad, among others. Jobs was widely credited with influencing the creation of them all.
As head of Apple, Jobs was a cult-like figure who inspired a level of devotion from employees and customers that most CEOs only dream of, a situation that was parodied by The Simpsons using "Steve Mobs". He became almost indistinguishable from the company he helped found. Think of Apple, and Steve Jobs springs to mind.
His keynotes were watched avidly; his departure from the company something that had investors understandably nervous. Six weeks ago that finally happened.
And like most of his life, Jobs's passing has been kept a private event.
Apple's statement:
"Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve. His greatest love was for his wife, Laurene, and his family. Our hearts go out to them and to all who were touched by his extraordinary gifts."
His family also issued a statement, appealing for privacy:
"Steve died peacefully today surrounded by his family.
"In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. We are thankful to the many people who have shared their wishes and prayers during the last year of Steve's illness; a website will be provided for those who wish to offer tributes and memories.
"We are grateful for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Steve. We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief."
The personal tragedy is his family's, his friends' and those who knew him.
For the rest of us, the loss of Steve Jobs means, as others have said, the loss of a visionary, a great businessman and someone who was fascinating to watch.
I'll finish this with Jobs's commencement speech at Stanford in 2005, one of the most inspiring speeches I've seen.

Nokia Lumia 1520 now just $99.99 on contract at AT&T
0. phoneArena 15 Nov 2013, 22:56 posted on
While the Nokia Lumia 1520 phablet has been available for pre-orders for the last week, it looks like AT&T has slashed the price of the phablet before it has even been launched. The price of the device is now listed as $99.99 on AT&T with a signed two-year pact. Not bad for the a Windows Phone 8 device that brings specs that match up with any top-shelf Android phone, thanks to the GDR3 update...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Wow. Just wow. Way to go nokia
28. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1173; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
I should note that according to SlickDeals this 50% off extends to other devices as well. It's a sale from AT&T's online store and lasts until around December 7th (though not officially announced when the sale will end). They are also offering the iPhone 5S at $100 and the LG G2 is now $50.

Quality Phablet at a totally amazing price: Nokia's going out with style ;o)
2. boomboom (Posts: 53; Member since: 10 Oct 2013)
Directly jumping to 6' is a bad move for nokia with that good specs. They should have gone with a 5' screen (self opinion)
4. blkjack (Posts: 17; Member since: 16 Aug 2013)
They have the Nokia 929 (5") phone coming out on Verizon soon that has the same specs as the 1520.
26. W.P._Android_in_that_Order (Posts: 208; Member since: 15 Feb 2012)
The new 929 doesn't come with that new assertive display though right?
9. LiyanaBG (Posts: 381; Member since: 07 Nov 2013)
no i disagree with you the 6inch is a good move enough small Nokia phones now there is something for everyone.
3. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
WTH??? You have a 6" phone for $100 on contract??? As a big man, this is something worth considering. Its really hard to move on from Android and the Note 3, but the 1520 has to be really good in order for me to do so
6. blkjack (Posts: 17; Member since: 16 Aug 2013)
As a person that really enjoys the WP platform, I'd say go for it, but knowing that you'd be coming from a Note 3, I'd say make sure the apps you want/love are available as either official or solid 3rd party ones. Also, no pen support if you're used to that. Not to mention much by way of Google-supported apps if you're really tied into that ecosystem.
7. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
I meant to sat that I have the G Pro and i want to get the Note 3, but the 1520 looks promising. my family and I will have the Xbox One soon so that would be a reason to get the 1520. I like how smooth the OS is, but the customization of Android is what keeps me with them
I'll be able to see it at an AT&T store next week
23. Napalm_3nema (Posts: 2185; Member since: 14 Jun 2013)
They are already on display in most AT&T stores.
30. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1032; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
Ok good, I'll take a look at it
18. ShahzadiRehman (Posts: 4; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
what is this contact thing jeradiah3 will u plz tell me....????
5. Mrmark (Posts: 277; Member since: 26 Jan 2013)
Wow so get a 1520 plus a 2520 all for 300 bucks
8. Netolic (Posts: 144; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Wow, just wow this deal is hard to ignore.. i expect nokia to have big sales over the holiday
10. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)
Awesome phone, just too big for me and I'm not that WP positive. But already a price drop?
11. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
dang wth not fair lol.
12. N-fanboy (Posts: 543; Member since: 12 Jan 2013)
Will nokia and att profit from this?
29. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Its not about profit right now.. The long term plan is for Microkia to focus on awareness right now..
13. Joeke (Posts: 2; Member since: 16 Nov 2013)
What the heck. AT&T better refund me $100. Otherwise I'm just going to cancel my pre-order and rebuy the phone for $100 cheaper. This must be a mistake. Every person who pre-ordered before today is going to be seriously annoyed.
27. W.P._Android_in_that_Order (Posts: 208; Member since: 15 Feb 2012)
Just call customer service when you get the phone. They may even credit you the 35.00 restocking fee.
14. Joeke (Posts: 2; Member since: 16 Nov 2013)
Note that it's still $200 on the Microsoft store.
15. Gemmol (Posts: 792; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
I still think the microsoft deal is good for me, the reason I say that because I never bought a windows phone, so 70 dollars worth of credit is good to have to start me up, 40 dollar case is a good deal too, I do not care too much about the game, but its good starters way to get into windows. This deal on the other hand is a 100, which is beautiful, if I did not order on microsoft I would of got this already, if I was to get everything that I am getting with the microsoft bundle, it would cost 210 ($100 phone + $70 apps + $40 = $210), so I still save 10 dollars wanting the same thing
16. CX3NT3_713 (Posts: 2275; Member since: 18 Apr 2011)
That's a hellava deal, wow
17. ShahzadiRehman (Posts: 4; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
can u tell me about what this contract is ????? i mn why this is on contract ..???whats $100 CONTRACT???
19. ShahzadiRehman (Posts: 4; Member since: 15 Nov 2013)
CAN anybody tell me what is this ON CONTRACT thing....??????????
Obligation to pay more money later or what >>????????????
21. lalalaman (Posts: 631; Member since: 19 Aug 2013)
Its only in western countries, not like ur and mines asian countries
Here u pay $100(including operater fees) each month for 2 yrs to ur operater.this phones are operater locked and has logo of operater like u may have seen second hand mobiles with t-mobile logos
After 2 yrs the thing is urs and u will only have to pay for sim usage...though u can buy unlocked for $700 and put any sim u want, here u pay once....on contract deals are just money making but phone this big and costly at 100 $ is b8g deal
22. lalalaman (Posts: 631; Member since: 19 Aug 2013)
$100 not including operater fee for call sms etx
20. Losdog25 (Posts: 29; Member since: 28 Aug 2009)
What a steal!! Come to Sprint please!! lol. I love Android, and after 4 years of using it I'm content but the 1520 is the first phone I would consider jumping back to Windows! Let's see what 8.1 offers. I see good things in the next year for Microsoft. Just keep building on the app store and pumping out devices like this!!
24. MobileMac (unregistered)
I bought a Note 3 for my wife last night. I did look at the 1520 they had there. The phone and screen are absolutely gorgeous. It did seem just slightly to big for my pocket and the corners are sharp. Putting a case on it would really just make it too big. They should have made it with less bezel. However, I still have an upgrade and I will look at it again before I upgrade my phone. Perhaps a 5.5 in would have put it in the sweet spot!
25. papss (unregistered)
The great thing about nokia phones is that they don't really need a case..they are damn tough.

Am I the only one that is disappointed about losing 16gb of internal storage? I would rather pay $200 for a 32gb model personally. About half of my 1020 is filled with apps which, in my experience, cannot be installed on a microSD. IDK if GDR3 fixed that problem, because the 1020 isn't expandable.
35. isprobi (Posts: 656; Member since: 30 May 2011)
I would consider this but there does not seem to be a PlayOn client for WP. And the last time I checked I did not see AT&T Live TV (not Uverse) app on WP either. That means I cannot get the live streaming news that I watch pretty much everyday. And I do not think this has a memory card slot or removable battery?

A series of twenty-three drawings, variously dated 1916 and 1917. Fifteen were lent by Mrs Charles Hunter to the Modern Loan Exhibition, Grosvenor Gallery, November 1917 (98); the complete series was first exhibited at the Leicester Galleries, September 1921 (1), in the order in which they are given here, again as Rossetti and his Friends. They were published in book form by Heinemann in 1922 as Rossetti and His Circle, possibly an allusion to Rossetti's Dante and His Circle, the second edition of his translations from the early Italian poets, published in 1874. The complete series of drawings was further exhibited in Paintings and Drawings of the 1860 Period, Tate Gallery, April–July 1923 (336), and was on loan to the Tate Gallery from June 1938.

Sorry I'm not helping your actual question but I dunno if there's much point if you can't even get on there. Have you tried yet? I'm nowhere near my system now but if you post back here on whether or not you can even connect... and if I remember to, I'll get back to you on what you asked next time I turn the system on.

Its WPIAL Class AAAA playoff hopes essentially dashed by last week's loss at Penn Hills, the Altoona Area High School football team is looking for some fresh motivation for its final three regular season games, beginning when it hosts Plum at Mansion Park on Friday night.
"This is our homecoming week, so we're going for our third win. We know a lot of people come back to watch during homecoming week, so we don't want to let our school or our city down,'' Mountain Lions coach Tom Palfey said. "It's a chance for the people who are filling in to show what they can do. The challenge for those people who've been backing up who maybe thought they should have been starting to begin with to show if that's the case.
"We know we're banged up, but we also know it's a great opportunity to get another win in front of a homecoming crowd.''
Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
The Lions are coming off of losses to Woodland Hills and Penn Hills that dropped them to 2-4 overall and 1-3 in the Big East Conference - they'd have to win this week and next week against undefeated and nationally ranked Pittsburgh Central Catholic while either Penn Hills or Fox Chapel lost its last two conference games to have any shot at the postseason.
In the last two games, Altoona has been outscored 68-13 and outgained 659-212.
Fact Box
The matchup
Game: Plum Mustangs (1-5) vs. Altoona Mountain Lions (2-4)
Where: Mansion Park, Altoona
When: Tonight, 7 p.m.
The coaches: Plum - Frank Sacco (10-16, third year); Altoona - Tom Palfey (4-21, third year)
Series record: Plum, 1-0
Last meeting: Plum, 34-14 (Oct. 15, 2010)
"We haven't been very good at our base stuff recently,'' Palfey said. "We have to get better at that. There's not a lot of strategy involved this week. It's about getting things right.''
To still be working on the fundamentals more than halfway through the season undoubtedly is a difficult pill for Palfey to have to swallow.
"You would hope at this point in the season that everybody would be gelling, and everybody would have run the same plays 40, 50 times and have it down. But, when you have so many people filling in here or there, that makes the timing not just right. That part is frustrating,'' Palfey said. "But, you know what? As a coach, you're a teacher, and you've got to figure out a way to get those guys learning the best you can.''
The Mountain Lions lost another skill position starter last week when running back Dion Brown broke his collarbone. However, Danny Moyer did see some limited playing time against Penn Hills and is listed as day-to-day in his chances to play Friday night. Explosive slotback Rafeeq Barnes and quarterback Lou Bettwy have a slight chance to get on the field against Plum, too, Palfey said.
Plum coach Frank Sacco is wary of the Mountain Lions.
"The're a good, physical , aggressive team. They gave us problems last year, and I think they're better this year,'' Sacco said. "They're very athletic. I think they have a little more speed than they had last year.''
After making the playoffs in each of Sacco's first two years at the helm, the Mustangs are in very much the same situation as Altoona this season. Plum is 1-5 and 0-3 in the conference.
The Mustangs' schedule has been brutal. They've lost to Franklin Regional (6-0), Woodland Hills (5-1), Highlands (5-1), Central Catholic (6-0) and Penn Hills.
"It's just something you have to deal with and come through it,'' Sacco said. "We've had a lot of injuries. That's been one of our big problems. We've had eight starters out the last few weeks. We've been playing a lot of young kids, a lot of freshmen and sophomores.''
Among the wounded has been senior receiver C.J. Lutz, who ranked third among WPIAL Class AAAA wide receivers last year with 41 receptions, and leading rusher Tarique Ellis. Sacco also has been without four defensive linemen.
Quarterback Chris Zdinak leads the Mustangs with 663 yards passing, much of it going Lutz's direction.
"You watch the tape, and there's a lot of different numbers playing for them. I think he's going through a lot of what we're going through,'' Palfey said. "But that's not our concern right now. We're not as good as we need to be, so we can't worry about the opponent and their personnel. We have to worry about doing our things right.''

BATON ROUGE, La. � Several athletes represented Georgetown in the first day of competition at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, held May 29 at Bernie Moore Stadium on the campus of LSU. The Hoyas are scheduled to participate in three additional events prior to the conclusion of the four-day meet on Saturday, June 1.
Senior Tyrona Heath (Endicott, N.Y., Union-Endicott) turned in the group�s top performance, as she won her heat and recorded the fastest time of all participants in the 800m preliminaries. Heath crossed the line in 2:03.81, the fourth-fastest mark in school history, to defeat runner-up Lauren Simmons of Princeton by 0.06 seconds. Florida�s Melissa DeLeon and Tiffany Burgess of UCLA shared the lead after the first lap, recording a split of 60.16. The two athletes remained in front until the last straightaway, where Heath and Simmons surpassed them with late kicks in the final 70m. Heath and eight other runners will now advance to the finals, which are scheduled for Friday night.
Sophomore Jesse O�Connell (Westminster, Md./Westminster) competed in the men�s 800m, but fell three spots short of qualifying for the finals. O�Connell finished third in his heat and 12th overall with a time of 1:48.82. Otukile Lekote of South Carolina paced the field in 1:46.49.
James Graham (Washington, D.C./Northwestern) represented the Hoyas in the 400m hurdles, registering the school�s second-fastest mark of all-time, but again falling short of advancing to the finals. Graham crossed the line in 51.05 to place fourth in his heat and 14th overall. Bennie Brazell of LSU won the event with a time of 49.57.
Other participants on Wednesday included Josh Rollins (Odenton, Md./Arundel) in the long jump, who recorded a leap of 7.54m to finish 15th, and Lorena Adams (Lakehurst, N.J./Manchester Township) and Marni Kruppa (Dublin, Ohio/Dublin Coffman) in the women's 10,000m run. Adams crossed the line in 35:27.87 for 14th place, while Kruppa logged 36:17.71 for 20th.
Heath (800m finals), Rollins (triple jump preliminaries/finals) and Kruppa (5,000m finals) are all slated to return to action on Friday.
CBS will air portions of the meet during a tape-delayed broadcast scheduled for Saturday, June 8 at 2 pm.

Man arrest on assault chargesNovember 23,2012WEST RUTLAND A West Rutland man will be in court on Monday to answer to charge of aggravated domestic assault stemming from an incident early Thursday morning.
Matthew Shook, 34, was arrested around 1:40 a.m. Thursday after police responded to a domestic disturbance at Jens Motel on Route 4A in West Rutland.
Police said an initial investigation showed that Shook was involved in a verbal and physical altercation with a woman, who suffered some injuries as a result.
Shook was also found to be in violation of court-ordered conditions of release after a preliminary breath test showed he had been drinking, police said.
Shook was arrested and held at the Rutland jail on $5,000 bail.

Kuldmuna 2010 awards were held last weekend. This year was especially good for us. Woohoo! We got awarded 15 times. Best of all we won the agency of the year award. It is my fifth year in Estonia and we finally got it.
As Kadri said, good things come...
All photos by Annika Haas, Fotobrigaad.
It was talked about in several different places. Last thursday it became reality. First Estonian Internet Awards winners were announced. These are my comments as a member of jury.
Last weekend Kuldmuna awards were given out. Someone is going to be offended by saying this. Level of most of entries shortlisted in Internet design and Digital advertising categories were shamefully low. I know there have been better projects in Estonia during last year. How did this happen?
DISCLAIMER: I work in advertising agency myself. I have been working in advertising agency or online department of advertising agency for last 11 years. Good to remember when you work in advertising and feel offended by reading this.
Today I arrived to sunny Riga to attend 9th Golden Hammer festival. I was invited to be Head of Digital Media...
Small sideproject we just finished with Magnus. My good friend Misko Iho is starting his own company. He directs music videos and television commercials. Site is kept as simple as possible. Let the content speak for itself.
Latest paper issue of Best Marketing magazine had a short story of advertising agency Taevas. There was also short interview of myself. It was shortened quite a lot. Since lots of the stuff I wanted to stress out was missing, I decided to republish the original interview here.
Those limitations do not exist anymore. You can concentrate more on the creative idea. Gone are the days when you needed funding to buy servers. Anyone with armed with creditcard can start their company using Amazon EC2 which provides endless computing power. New programming frameworks enable you to write working services in weeks instead of months. People have faster and faster internet connections.
title: Internet World 2008 and Skype Jobs
Next two days I will be visiting Internet World exhibition in London. Never been there before So I do not know what to expect. Speaker lineup looks ok. I really hope speakers stay away from giving sales speeches for their own companies.
Anyway I had a point too. New Tallinn airport is really cool. As usual there is free WiFi everywhere. This time there was a boilerplate ad. I do not know if it is the brand, but I did not feel offended by this ad. It was Skype Jobs.
Judge for yourself. It just gives you warm and fuzzy feeling.
Last week Estonian business paper Äripäev made a small research. Their journalist made an online registration to test drive a car. Only three car dealers out of seven replied.
Response from those who failed to answer? "We had some technical problems."
Before reading further I should mention that Amserv Auto mentioned in this post is our client.
Out of seven dealers contacted following replied.
Finalists of Grand One '08 were announced few days ago. Comparing to finalists of 2006 code quality is getting better but there is still lot of room for improvement.
Table below lists finalists from Best B2C service, Best B2B service and Best infodesign categories. Flash sites were left out. Two interesting numbers are listed.
1. Number of validation errors on frontpage.
2. Percentage calculated by dividing number of lines of html code with number of validation errors.
Lines of code for each site was calculated by executing the following on commandline:
>lynx -source http://www.example.com/ | wc
This years winner has amazing 301 validation errors. Award goes to Valve and Plenware produced kauppalehti.fi.
Shared second place goes to TietoEnator, Avarko, QBrick produced ClassicLive. and Elisa Verkkokauppa by Mainostoimisto Ego (hey guys, what happen!?). Both sites have 113 validation errors. Second place goes to TietoEnator, Avarko, QBrick produced ClassicLive with 113 validation errors. YLE's inhouse production yle.fi receives third place with 100 errors.
Elisa Verkkokauppa was fixed few hours after publishing this. Apparently backend coder had forgot to close <img> tags. It fully validates so I am taking away the second prize. (Yes, I used to work in EGO. Yes, I still work in Taivas Group.)
Web application movement is growing in Baltic states. Biggest event in near future will be Barcamp Baltics 2008. It is held 8-10 February in Riga. Barcamp describes itself the following way:

What Äripäev fails to mention the concept is not new at all. Instead it is a copy of Finnish real estate portal Igglo.
Igglo was first launched in February 2006. Company and the concept it has been successfull. It currently operates also in Norway. One of the key features of Igglo has been the silent buying and selling. Portal has information and photos of every single building in Helsinki and other big cities in Finland. If you are interested in buying a flat from a specific house you can ear mark your interest anonymously. Also if you are interested in selling yours you can mark that there is a flat possibly available in this house.

LEWISTOWN - As temperatures reach a peak this week, area residents are urged to take precautions against extreme heat and heat-related illness, said Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Michael Wolf.
"Hotter and more humid weather is expected this week across much of Pennsylvania, but many people don't understand just how dangerous the heat can be," Wolf said. "Healthy people of any age can have heat-related illnesses."
Temperatures are expected to reach a high of 97 degrees by today, decreasing to 86 degrees throughout the weekend, according to weather.com.
"When you consider the heat index, temperatures are actually well above 100 degrees," said Dr. John Pagnotto, family medicine physician with Geisinger-Lewistown. "Add the humidity, and even when temperatures lower, it'll still be quite warm. It's important that people take precautions."
The Pennsylvania Department of Health suggests drinking more water than usual, avoiding caffeinated and alcoholic beverages, wearing lightweight and light-colored clothing, avoiding direct sunlight, limiting outdoor activities to early morning or evening, and staying in air-conditioned areas as much as possible.
"The ultimate way to prevent heat exhaustion or stroke is to stay hydrated," Pagnotto said. "The average person should be drinking roughly eight bottles of water a day, if not more when temperatures are higher. Athletes and people who work outside should take frequent breaks to rehydrate."
Fact Box
* Heat exhaustion: Heavy sweating; weakness; cold, pale and clammy skin; fast, weak pulse; nausea or vomiting; fainting. What To Do: Move to a cooler location; lie down and loosen your clothing; apply cool, wet cloths to as much of your body as possible; sip water; if you have vomited and it continues, seek medical attention immediately.
*Heat stroke: High body temperature (above 103 degrees); hot, red, dry or moist skin; rapid and strong pulse; possible unconsciousness. What To Do: Call 911 immediately - this is a medical emergency; move the person to a cooler environment; reduce the person's body temperature with cool cloths or even a bath; do not give fluids.
According to the Department of Health, adults older than 65, children younger than four, people with existing medical problems, such as heart disease, and those without access to air conditioning are at the greatest risk of developing heat-related illness.
"People could be on their way to having heat exhaustion and not know it," Pagnotto said. "The possibility of heat illness should be taken seriously even if the severity of illness is not immediately apparent."
Heat exhaustion can develop after several days of exposure to high temperatures without adequate replacement of fluids, states the Center for Disease Control website. Warning signs can vary, but may include heavy sweating, paleness, muscle cramps, tiredness, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea or vomiting, fainting, cool and moist skin, fast and weak pulse and fast and shallow breathing.
Heat stroke, the more serious heat condition, occurs when the body is unable to control its temperature, loses its ability to sweat and is unable to cool down, states cdc.gov. Body temperatures can rise to 106 degrees or higher within 10 to 15 minutes which can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not provided.
"These situations can escalate quickly," Pagnotto said. "If there's any doubt, call 911 and get the person medical attention immediately. Work on lowering the person's body temperature until emergency services arrive."

My Favorite Diaper BagsKatie Loeb
When we were registering for baby items, I used a few books with good recommendations and, for the most part, followed their advice blindly. I've been pleased with the outcome, but there was one area that I didn't use the books: diaper bags.
To me, diaper bags aren't easily rated because everyone wants something a little different. I knew that I was going to use mine basically as my purse because I am the worst at juggling things and I didn't want to have to manage too many things with the baby. I knew I wanted it to be cute but reasonably priced and I knew it needed to have room for our things without being a monstrosity.
And so we went looking.
On a recommendation from my sister-in-law I looked into the Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bag line.
They have great built in changing liners, have a wide variety of styles and they are seriously the most beautiful diaper bags you'll ever see. This is the one we came within moments of buying and one that I won't lie, I still covet pretty seriously.
The other recommendation was for the Diaper Dude so that my husband wouldn't look girly carrying around a diaper bag. In hindsight, the idea of my husband carrying a diaper bag period is hilarious since he has yet to venture out without the baby (because I'm not ready to part with him yet, thanks).
But these are great because they are manly, but comfortable and they hold everything you need them to. This is the one my husband picked out, I'm seriously considering buying it once he does start going out more with the baby. It's a good Father's Day gift, right?
The last one we looked at was by Skip Hop on a recommendation from a friend. And ultimately, this is what we went with. What sold me was the magnetic closures (who has hands to zip things while holding a baby?), the vibrant patterns, and the reasonable cost. It also had a matching changing pad that could be carried on its own if I wanted something a little slimmer.
And so far, it is treating us incredibly well. It fits under the stroller and easily on the floor of the car. It's comfortable to carry. It holds all of our things and has room to spare. And most of all, I think it's adorable. Which is obviously what's most important.
As a true testament to it's smart construction, on the second day we used it, my cat knocked over a vase of flowers, pouring a ton of water into one of the pockets. We couldn't get to it right away (screaming baby), but when we did we dried that pocket and realized that none of the water seeped through to the other pockets. And considering all the things we have in there that we don't want flower water on, it was music to our ears. Like I said, just a great bag.
While I am very seriously considering buying all the ones I have on this page (it's my purse, remember?), in the meantime, we love what we have and highly recommend it to anyone in the market.
What's your favorite diaper bag and why?
