Just in the nick of time at the end of Martha's centennial year, a resolution passed the Senate on December 17 calling attention to the 100th anniversary of the extinction of the last known passenger pigeon. Senators Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Rob Portman (R-OH) reported the passage, which was the final act of the 113th congressional session.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admits he was drinking Monday night after a video surfaced online today of him rambling and swearing.
Ford has repeatedly said he has not had a drink since November.
After the video was posted to YouTube, Ford told reporters he had indeed been drinking the previous night, and that what he does in his personal life with his friends is up to him.
He says he doesn't think his use of Jamaican patois and swear words was discriminatory, saying it's how he speaks with some of his friends.
His brother, Coun. Doug Ford, earlier said the video couldn't have been filmed Monday night because he had talked to him at 10:30 p.m.
A user of the social media site Instagram posted a photo of the mayor posing with two men and identified the location as a restaurant called Steak Queen in the city's northwest.
Ford did not answer questions about how he got to the restaurant in that state.

I'm wondering if Joe Paterno's unwillingness to let go of his stranglehold on the PSU football program is directly connected to him trying to secure a job for Jay.
I have never heard of anyone being interested in Jay Paterno as a head coach or an assistant coach. I realize he was at UVA for a while, but everyone knows Joe got him that job too. His track record with the quarterbacks is horrible as was his time as the recruiting coordinator.
I have spoken to many friends on this subject. Some think the idea of Jay being the next head coach is preposterous. I think we are giving the administration too much credit if we simply rule out the possibility.
For me, I will put it this way: If Jay becomes the head coach, I am severing all my ties to the football program. I will not attend any games or watch them on TV. I will not buy any magazines or subscribe to anything related to the program.
Jay has never earned anything in his career. If he had any guts at all he would go elsewhere and try to stand on his own two feet. If he is named the head coach many will walk away from the program. The criticism of the move will be deafening.
I have a sickening feeling that this is where this is all headed, and it makes me ill to think about it. I have been a PSU fan since I was a kid. I grew up on Franco and Lydell. I am a 1982 grad of PSU. I love the Nittany Lions. The fans and players deserve better than this. We definitely deserve better than Jay Paterno.
I, for one, won't stand for it. I think this may be exactly what the old man is up to. He is trying to outlast all of the assistants or have them leave with the theory that Jay will be the last man standing.
I would love to see Joe step down and the school do a search for Joe's replacement. I could live with Tom Bradley or Larry Johnson. Not Jay.
What set me off is a video I saw of a recruit saying Joe told him he would be there another five or six years. If he is telling people that, he shouldn't be. Also, how does he know anyone wants him there that long?
This all comes down to selfishness. Paterno always preaches loyalty and leadership. Yet he has remained head coach despite not being able to do the job physically. It is sad to see.
I remember the days when he was a real coach. This has gotten absurd and hard to watch.

JoePa is a bargain
I read an article about the salary of Oregon's head football coach Chip Kelly, who makes $2.4 million per year. It's definitely not in anyway comparable to the salary of Penn State coach Joe Paterno, who makes $1.1 million per year.
Perhaps one of the reasons for his longevity at Penn State is at bargain basement rates.
Penn State must hope that Paterno never retires. I'm sure with the stories of the salaries circulating, they'll never get anyone at their current rates.
Oh well, why should I worry?
If Congress does not cancel it, I'll survive on my pension check.
But Penn State fans be alert: Ticket prices, parking and souvenir prices will escalate.
Will Walk Jr.
No faith in DeChellis
As I read the sports page the other day, one headline caught my eye: "DeChellis wins 100th game."
I never saw a headline, "DeChellis loses his 100 game," which came first. Once again, Penn State has a winning record at 7-3, beating up on lower Division I teams.
The three losses are at Mississippi, which lost four starters from last year's team and is a mid-range team in the SEC, a loss at home to a subpar Maryland team and finally to a Virginia Tech team with a 4-4 record.
After watching Penn State play Duquesne and Mount St. Mary's, the Nittany Lions could be at 5-5. After the Maine game, they will enter the Big Ten with an 8-3 record and a returning starting five, some with four years at Penn State.
DeChellis has averaged 12 wins and 16 losses in his eight years at State. Most schools would have changed coaches by now, but Penn State has extended his contract twice.
I can't imagine how many games State will win in the Big Ten with it being such a strong conference. I think they will be lucky to win six. If I'm correct, they will end up 14-15 and once again, there will be no NIT and especially no NCAA.
I personally love college basketball. I only wish the Penn State administration felt the same way.
I have one more suggestion - and that's to put basketball in the new hockey arena and hockey in the Bryce Jordan. Then the basketball arena won't look so empty.

Mirror sportswriters criticize too much
Here we go again: The Altoona Mirror sportswriters continue to tell people what to think and how they should feel and act.
I thought the news media was supposed to report the news, not create and distort it.
I am referring to Philip Cmor's column on Nov. 26. He admonishes the Bellwood fans for being upset over a mistake by the officials during the Bellwood-Bishop McCort game.
It is my contention that the "award-winning" Altoona Mirror sportswriters make a living criticizing players, teams, coaches, officials and fans. After the sportswriters create the dirt with their ugly writing, they insist that it is what the fans think.
Yes, the Altoona Mirror will continue their ugly sportswriting.

John Atchley, 97, struggled to climb out of his lawn chair when he heard a song he knew well. Even before he accepted hands offering to help him stand, he was singing the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner" when it was performed early Monday evening by Amarillo band Insufficient Funds.
Atchley squeezed the hand of the stranger standing next to him as he sang with thousands of other people during the 57th annual Fourth of July celebration in John S. Stiff Memorial Park, 45th Avenue and Bell Street.
Atchley's daughter, Karel Smith, said he'd been looking forward to the celebration, particularly the laser show, which was quickly organized to replace fireworks when Panhandle counties banned them in June because of severe fire conditions.
"I've never seen that many months of dry weather," said Atchley, whose mother was pregnant with him in 1913, when her family arrived in the Panhandle on a covered wagon.
"Last year the wind blew so hard we could hardly see the fireworks," Smith said. "I think we're looking forward to the laser show."
This year's show featured a scheduled laser show choreographed to music performed by the Amarillo Symphony. It was the first time the symphony performed during the celebration. Amarillo Man of the Year Eddie Melin conducted the symphony as it performed "The Star-Spangled Banner." Grammy Award-winning songwriter and Amarillo native Susan Gibson also performed her song "Wide Open Spaces."
Excitement Technologies Group, a Dallas-based special effects company, stepped in to develop a unique laser light show for the Amarillo Globe-News and Amarillo National Bank 2011 July 4th Celebration.
Organizers said the laser show was different from the planned fireworks show because a laserist would perform live, leaving the experience open to human interpretation.
Mike Dunn, a professional laserist for more than 20 years, was chosen to choreograph the program, and much of the performance was improvised.
Aimee Pritchard said she arrived at the park about 5 p.m., staked out a desirable spot, spread a blue blanket on the grass and waited for her husband, Coby, and 4-year-old son, Sean, to arrive. As temperatures soared toward 100 degrees, Pritchard said she wanted to wait for temperatures to drop before Sean came to the park.
"He can hardly wait to go on the rides," Pritchard said. "We were afraid there would not be anything this year. We're glad they're still throwing a party for us."
Vendors who depend on sales during the annual celebration for a chunk of their annual income also were grateful for the party.
The owners of Goodies on the Go, a mobile ice cream, snacks, soda and cotton candy stand from Canyon said they were relieved the celebration would take place.
"This is a huge event for us every year. We also do birthday parties, company picnics and church events," said Ginger Shaffer.
Organizers estimated that between 4,000 and 5,000 people attended this year's event. They listened closely as the symphony played "Fanfare for the Common Man," cheered as the crescendo for the "1812 Overture" peaked and clapped for "Stars and Stripes Forever."

Yesterday was a good Down Day. No hunger until the evening, and even then, quite managable. I ended up only having probiotic drinks and a green smoothie just before bed. Just no good time for the protein shake i thought I might have.
It's always strange when you go down after an Up Day. I had three Up Days in a row (not planned, just giving in to cravings on a Down Day) and my weight went down after the second and third. I know the vagaries of the scale. My weights may be completely unrelated, but still, it makes you wonder what the heck is going on. But I'll take it! Even not caring so such about the up and down motion, I like seeing the smaller numbers.
Of special note this morning, is that I was only one pound heavier than my Honey! Soon I'll be catching him up! Dare I say, zipping past him?! I know he is planning to go down a little more once I am at 170, but I don't think he is in the right mood for losing right now. Well, for working at it. He has been enjoying the 'cheating' that maintaining allows him. But who knows, he might change his mind. We all know how suddenly one day you can be sick of a situation and ACT.
I was tempted into visiting nomnompaleo yesterday, after Jenn mentioned the Egg McMuffin substitute. I am a sucker for Egg McMuffins and Crossan'wiches. They hit all my pleasures centers. Well, maybe not ALL of them, but all the food ones! Her recipe/technique looked good, and it has lit a desire within me to acquire a biscuit cutter and try it out. So, that's what I'll be having for a late breakfast today. We are dog-sitting for a friend, and I burrowed through her kitchen drawers last night, hoping she would have a biscuit cutter I could borrow, but no luck. Hers had a top. So, I'll see what I can find at the Dollar store before breaking out any big bucks at Target.
Other food plans for today- get that meatbball soup going! Make custard! Stew up a mess of greens!
Tonight is my monthly meet-up with friends, so I have to figure out what food i am bringing along for myself. Rotisserie chicken, perhaps? Creamed spinach? Mmm, for some reason I am thinking of Boston Market. But I can make the same stuff, only better. Fried apples. Oh, yum!

Prostate Cancer Health Center
Treating Advanced Prostate Cancer
In this article
Provenge for Advanced Prostate Cancer continued...
Provenge bypasses these problems. The treatment first removes a quantity of dendritic cells from a patient's blood. Dendritic cells show pieces of tumor to immune cells, priming them to attack cells that carry those pieces.
The patient's doctor ships the cells to Provenge's manufacturer, Dendreon, which then exposes them to Provenge. Provenge is a molecule made inside genetically engineered insect cells.
Once these cells have been exposed to Provenge, they're shipped back to the doctor who infuses them back into the patient. This is done three times in one month. The first infusion primes the immune system. The second and third doses spur an anticancer immune response.
The most common side effect is chills, which occurs in more than half of the men that receive Provenge. Other common side effects include fatigue, fever, back pain, and nausea. Provenge has been remarkably safe. However, clinical trials suggest that the treatment might be linked to a slightly increased risk of stroke.
Endocrine Drugs for Prostate Cancer
Drugs work as well as prostate cancer surgery (orchiectomy -- removal of the testicles) to reduce the level of hormones in the body. Most men opt for drug therapy rather than surgery. The three types of hormone-related drugs approved to treat advanced prostate cancer include luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogs, luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) antagonists, and antiandrogens.
Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) analogs
Most patients who receive hormonal therapy choose LHRH analogs. These drugs work by decreasing testosterone production to very low levels by depleting the pituitary gland of the hormone needed to produce testosterone. However, before this decrease in testosterone occurs, patients experience a brief and temporary increase in testosterone production and tumor growth. This is due to a transient increase in release of LHRH from the pituitary gland with a resulting stimulation of testosterone production. This phenomenon, called tumor flare, can cause increased symptoms from the prostate cancer that didn't exist before the patient received the therapy. Some doctors prescribe antiandrogens (described below) to combat the symptoms caused by tumor flare. LHRH analogs are administered via injection or small implants placed under the skin. The most commonly used LHRH analogs in the U.S. are leuprolide (Eligard, Lupron), histrelin (Vantas), triptorelin (Trelstar), and goserelin (Zoladex). They cause side effects similar to those from the surgical orchiectomy. These drugs carry a risk of triggering diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis, and/or stroke. Before starting one of these drugs, patients should tell their doctor if they have a history of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, heart attack, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or cigarette smoking.

Toll Brothers (TOL) Earnings Beat Could Be Leading Indicator Of Things To Come 0 comments
Record low interest rates, held down by a massive money print from Ben Bernanke and the Fed, has let to dramatically improved demand in the housing sector. After struggling for several years with many building even declaring bankruptcy, the rebound looks here to stay. Toll Brothers recently reported Q2 results topped street expectations nearly across the board and robust results implies further upside from other builders. Looking at the details, deliveries of 895 units with a strong backlog of over 3600 units indicates more growth is coming. Earnings per share for Q2 of 0.14 topped street expectations of just $0.07. Others that could see further strength in coming weeks include Hovanian (NYSE:HOV), Meritage(NYSE:MTH), and Ryland(NYSE:RYL).
Despite share gains over the last year in excess of 50%, many believe the housing rebound remains in the early stages and those leveraged to its return to prominence could see dramatic upside later in 2013. Also on the bullish side for homebuilders and the sector RealtyTrac reported that in April foreclosures declined by an impression 23%. As inventory finally moves, this could spark demand for new home sales. Also consistent with improved inventory trends April existing home sales were reported to have rebounded to the best levels seen since 2008. One concern would be if Bernanke were to depart this position as chief money printer, the next chairman could be more fiscally and monetarily responsible. Heading into the next few fed meetings the market and investors will certainly pay close attention to how much further QE infinity can continue as well as a possible unwind strategy. Until then, the risk on trade, with homebuilders leading the charge is poised to continue to gain momentumBack To Institutional Insider's Instablog HomePage »

With His 21st Thriller, Writer Ross Thomas Just Might Hit It Big—Not That He Hasn't Been Trying
As one of America's foremost practitioners of political thrillers, Thomas has been manning his own branch of Make-Believe, Inc. for 21 years now. Twentieth-Century Crime and Mystery Writers describes him as "America's answer to Len Deighton and John le Carré, except that he is funnier than either." Last month Thomas published his 21st novel, Out on the Rim, a labyrinthine tale of double-crossing con artists, set in the Philippines, that may become his first national best-seller.
Thomas wrote his first novel in just two months in 1965. "Since I didn't know what I was doing," he says blithely, "it came easily." He mailed the manuscript off to a publisher recommended by a friend, and it was accepted. Called The Cold War Swap, it won the 1966 Edgar (mystery writing's equivalent of an Oscar) for best first novel of the year. "All of a sudden," Thomas remembers, "I had a new identity: novelist. I figure that saved me about $200,000 worth of psychiatry." With a brief foray into screenwriting—he once likened moviemaking to group therapy "or perhaps group sex, which can be rather disappointing too, for all I know"—Thomas has averaged a book a year since his debut. In 1984 he won another Edgar for Briarpatch, which was voted best novel of the year.
Briarpatch is set in an unnamed Western metropolis, but one that is clearly modeled on Thomas' native Oklahoma City. The son of a building contractor, Thomas won a short story contest his senior year in high school. The prize, if he remembers correctly, was "five bucks and a scroll." After graduating in 1943, Thomas spent two years as an infantryman and served in the Philippines, an experience that provided background for Out on the Rim. Many of Thomas' novels are informed by previous occupations: public relations man, newspaper reporter and consultant for LBJ's War on Poverty. "I try to peg every book on a ledge of actual experience," says the author.
Thomas now spends four or five hours a day writing. "This is what I do," he says matter-of-factly. "It's no chore to sit down every morning." If he experiences a bout of writer's block, he will hop in the car and "drive over to the Valley and go to a picture show," he says. "I eat buckets of popcorn—the height of wickedness."
It is a quiet life. "I went to one of my four dinner parties a year the other day," says Thomas, a self-described "boring recluse." He stopped drinking 10 years ago and quit smoking three years ago. Now he self-consciously pops a piece of nicotine-flavored gum into his mouth every few minutes. Thomas, who was divorced from his first wife in 1961, has no children. He and his 53-year-old second wife, Rosalie, live with two cats in a modest house in the Malibu hills. Thomas proudly reports that Rosalie was president of the local Democratic Club for two years and notes that his primary function as "the Denis Thatcher of Malibu" was to "move the chairs in and out of the living room."
An admitted political junkie, Thomas calls last summer "my best since Watergate" because he was able to get up at 6:30 in the morning to watch the Iran-contra hearings. An unrepentant liberal and cynic, he feels both qualities are useful in life and in writing. "You have to have a certain amount of cynicism to survive," he says, "but you also have to have a certain amount of compassion to live with yourself."
Poised on the brink of the literary big time, Thomas can be heartened by the example of Elmore Leonard. Like Thomas, Leonard was a mild-mannered, middle-aged suspense writer who had been toiling in semi-obscurity for more than two decades. Then, several years ago, he inexplicably burst into the nation's literary consciousness. Who knows? Perhaps this is Ross Thomas' year to come in from out on the rim. After all, he's got all the qualifications—and his middle name, it turns out, is Elmore.

By The Associated Press
HATTIESBURG — A federal judge is dismissing a lawsuit in Mississippi that challenges part of the Obama administration's health care law, but he is giving the plaintiffs 30 days to make changes to their complaint.
U.S. District Judge Keith Starrett ruled Thursday that a group of people who filed the suit haven't shown that they will be required to comply with part of the law that says people must have health insurance or face fines.
"Plaintiffs simply alleged that they will be subject to the minimum essential coverage provision — a bare legal conclusion which the court may not accept as true," he wrote.
The plaintiffs claim that part of the law is unconstitutional, but the judge hasn't ruled on the merits of their claims. He gave them a month to correct their suit's "jurisdictional defects."
Republican Lt. Gov. Phil Bryant — acting as a private citizen — is one of the plaintiffs. Bryant has health insurance as a state employee but claimed the law will force state workers to choose from health insurance options they may not want.
Earlier this week, a federal judge in Florida ruled the entire health care overhaul law is unconstitutional. Mississippi is one of 26 states in that lawsuit.
The Florida judge's ruling produced an even split in federal court decisions so far on the health care law, mirroring enduring divisions among the public. Two judges had previously upheld the law, both Democratic appointees. A Republican appointee in Virginia had ruled against it.
The cases are almost certainly going to be resolved by the Supreme Court.

Unsurprisingly, the United States start as red-hot favourites to record a second Gold Cup win against Cuba on July 13.
The home side waltzed to victory in their first appearance at CONCACAF's continental competition. A hat-trick from Chris Wondolowski helped the U.S. to an easy 6-1 destruction of Belize, giving them the perfect start to the competition.
Cuba, meanwhile, were disappointing in going down 3-0 to Costa Rica. They know another reverse would make it very difficult to pursue their dreams of making it out of the first round.
Still, anything can happen during 90 minutes of football. Here is why maybe, just maybe, Cuba could threaten an upset on Saturday.

Sixty-six subjects, 64 of whom were female hospital or medical school employees, were asked if they were willing to take two tablets of "acetylhydroxybenzoate" or a placebo when they next had a headache, after receiving varyingly detailed descriptions of the actions and hazards of the drug. Comprehension and consent to volunteer were inversely related to length of form. In the groups receiving the longer form two subjects volunteered to take the drug despite the presence of contraindications; five subjects missed the point that fatal reactions might occur. When told that the drug described was in fact aspirin, 20 of 21 who had refused to take "acetylhydroxybenzoate" said that they would continue to take aspirin. The data suggest that the information provided to subjects should be brief and to the point, to maximize comprehension and intelligent decision-making. These results have important implications for consent procedures, drug advertising, and drug warnings.

Shoulda bought a Nexus

The Nexus is nice but unfortunately didnt compare to the SIII. I find it easier to just root and get a custom(debloated) rom. Currently have CM10 M2 on my Sprint SIII

That may not be easy for everyone.

Very true, unfortunately the firmware upgrade for Android devices in the US is a slow process and gets delayed longer by Carrier testing.
45. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12999; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
So much for uniform updates with ICS.
57. Mxyzptlk (Posts: 12999; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
Google made oem to agree to update their devices in a timely manner with the release of ice cream sandwich.
I don't think it's fair to advertise the S3 like crazy then pull a move like this. Why wait until next year for JB when the next one is coming?
76. dex-4 (Posts: 22; Member since: 09 Dec 2010)
This isn't true. Google wanted everyone to do it but no one did. The Android Update Alliance doesn't exist.
The only phones that Google will truly support is the nexus for upgrades, other than that it's up to the manufacturers to decide if they want to support or upgrade. Manufacturers have zero commitment to upgrade devices once they are sold.
122. VJo003 (Posts: 357; Member since: 11 Mar 2012)
By the time JB is available for upgrade, key limepie will be on the horizon...
So always behind the 8 ball
59. tedkord (Posts: 11687; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
But, even with ICS. we still have s better, more powerful OS than the competition, a year or two ahead of it. So, I can wait. (Or, if I were that concerned, I'd have JB in it already. I've seen no reason to worry about it, ICS is pure velvet.)

I can see where you are coming from.
I like Android better than iOS, but I'd like Google to grow a pair and kick the carriers around a little.

Apple has been supporting the 3GS for years. Even more so than Google has with the Nexus One. There's no excuse for them to not update their phones rather than delay them.
120. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
The 3GS only got one more major update than the Nexus One did, and that was only possible with stripping away some features. At least when Android phones do get updated, they get the full update; meanwhile with iOS, you have to buy the newest model every year in order to take *full* advantage of the new software. Also, Apple only has to worry about maybe 7 or 8 devices to update at a time, and they don't have to go through carrier testing.
Really, comparing every Android manufacturers updating habits to Apple's is unfair because the systems aren't the same. The only situation where they are the same is with an unlocked Nexus, which the stats are pretty much the same across the board when compared with iDevices.
Yes, I do agree manufacturers/carriers need to straighten up when it comes to updates, but delayed updates aren't enough for me to switch to iOS when I know in about 10 minutes I can have a stock build of Jelly Bean. And honestly, the average consumer doesn't even know about updates until their phone tells them. My brother didn't even know ICS existed until I told him, much less did he know he could have updated to it 3 months beforehand.
124. AstronautJones (Posts: 303; Member since: 01 Aug 2012)
So slapping a new number on the OS is an upgrade? What new features have they added? SIRI? No, not even on the iPhone 4.
I do not believe anyone still using a 3gs has a clue what number iOS they run.
I will probably replace my Galaxy SIII with a Note 2 before ATT approves JB update. So I could not care less....
66. mandkeee (Posts: 82; Member since: 27 Feb 2009)
wow...look at how android device never update....
this is why i hate android....its always being different update date with different devices....
but apple can update every each of year with all apple devices...
iphone 3gs , 4 , 4s , ....
but how about galaxy s1? oh even galaxy s2?
79. chaoticrazor (Posts: 2347; Member since: 28 Aug 2012)
troll somewhere else ifan. its much easier to release small hardly noticeable improvements on the iphone then androids updates
but think of it like this all the features in an android update you'll be able to enjoy in say 2 years time when android has moved on again
87. Mark.J.Linskiy (unregistered)
The Sprint 4.1.1 leak for the Samsung Galaxy S III is excellent. I'm running a custom ROM based on it, and there are no issues that I am having. It's very quick with a bunch of cool features (TouchWiz related). The official is always best, of course, but at least I'm still able to try it out sooner. It would be nice if it didn't take this long, but the more people "obsess" over an update coming, the longer it will see and then they begin getting frustrated/anger. People just get too worked up about certain things, but I'm not here to argue or anything, just stating that not everyone is "suffering" from this delay.
91. Pdubb (Posts: 248; Member since: 08 Aug 2011)
Apple can update the iPhone each year because 1) it is the same phone from the year before with a small update, 2) it's a freaking year! between updates! You buy the iPhone 5 your are stuck with ios 6 until the next year no hope of new stuff coming to your phone. I just got the GNote with the ICS update and it says I will get the JB update as well. Two (really 3 updates) all in a years time. That is progress not changing your maps app!
106. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1717; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I wouldn't call bug fixes an update, just sayin. At least Android is CHANGING
88. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
I suspect I will see JB on a VZW edition of the Note II before I see it on the VZW edition GS III. :-( The question is how long until VZW releases the Note II?
The ONE thing that Apple/iOS has over Android is that Apple controls the release/roll-out of their OS to the user community. iOS v. 6 was available on all carrier versions of the iToys at the SAME TIME.

Why r u here mr. Windows Phone.
Go to the news about the surface tablet with windows on it, now go on, shoo!
Update: THIS COMMENT WAS SUPPOSED TO GO 2 the person with the WP PIC ON IT, NOT 2 TROLL!!!!!!

GSM Nexus all the way. Done with carrier crap like what Sprint put the Epic 4G Touch users through just to get ICS.
14. superguy (Posts: 293; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
Well, T-Mobile's and AT&T's GS3's ARE GSM phones. Problem is that the hardware is different for the US than the rest of the world, so what works for them doesn't work for us.
Not a big deal if you can live without LTE, but if you want it, you're screwed for now.
16. Aeires (unregistered)
My GNex I'm using on T-Mobile works fine, and the HSPA+ speeds are enough to keep up with my mobile demands. I can't speak for the S3, it's not Nexus so I have no plans on purchasing it.
38. OSFantasma (Posts: 119; Member since: 27 Sep 2011)
Cool i did the same thing and got the unlimited data plan works great...
60. superguy (Posts: 293; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
I think it's less of a big deal on T-Mobile as that matches their infrastructure better.
I live in an AT&T LTE area, so it's a nonstarter for mer.
71. Aeires (unregistered)
Good point, and it's been forcing me to consider my next phone carefully. If T-Mobile switches to only LTE, that has to be part of the purchase decision.
112. Nadr1212 (Posts: 741; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
Hah, Screwed :P
102. lsutigers (Posts: 820; Member since: 08 Mar 2009)
Problem is, Sprint is generally the first to update their non-Nexus phones in the US. Same phone but Sprint variant will usually be first to get updated. Nexus updates always come first to GSM variants and Verizon is always dead last. Regardless, it's not soon enough an Google needs to put pressure on these carriers.
Now, if HTC wants to be ahead of the curve, they'll update the EVO LTE / One X, One S and One V before Samsung.
105. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
okay, you're gonna need to lay out some examples for a claim like that. i can't really recall instances where Sprint beats anybody to the punch.
125. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
One example that I personally wouldn't be proud of, but it is an example is BBOS7. Sprint beat out VZW in updates to BBOS7 for the 9930.
127. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
lol okay, let's stay away from Verizon because they were a little slow in updating a Blackberry. xD

33. jan25 (Posts: 470; Member since: 26 Feb 2012)
yep, Nexus devices will be 2 updates ahead of most flagships released this year. i am tired of carrier OEM crap, not going down this road ever again.

Allready running yakju 4.1.2, and Samsung: this is total bulls**t, take care of your costumers and they will take care of you(your sales)
4. Cha7520 (Posts: 221; Member since: 31 Oct 2010)
Are you freakin serious!!!??? The best selling phone of 2012. The smartphone of 2012. The most popular smartphone. The most advertised smartphone. And its not getting jellybean u til 2013????? WOW!!!!! By the time this thing gets 4.1 the Samsung GS4 will be coming out with 4.2 key lime pie. I cant believe this is happening to me again. I went through this with my samsung galaxy nexus back in Jan. This suck big time.
19. Cesar (Posts: 139; Member since: 16 Aug 2012)
im sooooooo TOTALLY agree with you! TOTALLY!!!
i have the S III to and is so unfair!
31. Synack (Posts: 677; Member since: 05 Jul 2011)
Why would the GS4 ship with 4.2 if the GS3 didn't ship with 4.1?
Just expect that every SGS phone will get the latest upgrade to the latest Android every January. This is nothing new.

Almost iPhone like with its update cycle! At least it is getting the update and it could carry you over for the remainder of your contract.
5. papss (unregistered)
And some talk like Samsung updates their phones well? How long has the s3 been out? So not only did we get the watered down version of the phone we also get the last update?
7. Retro-touch (Posts: 273; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)
Cry me a river. At least you have 4.1.2 that works well (S4 sources being available), S2 users have to wait even longer and its guaranteed JB is the last update for it, Nexus all the way!!!
13. abdane (Posts: 494; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
its the carriers fault, no Samsung's.
6. jamhet13 (Posts: 5; Member since: 20 Feb 2012)
Just root it and go with a custom ROM. I'm running 4.1.2 on my GS3.
8. Ravail (Posts: 182; Member since: 14 Oct 2011)
ive come to the terms with "i might not get an update" when i buy an android phone.. and if i do get an update.. its buggy than stock :/
49. wp8forever (unregistered)
Lol that was so honest, I feel bad for all of you but I'm no hating on Android same thing happens to windows phone 7 and the Tango update is the carrier fault.
107. EclipseGSX (Posts: 1717; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Maybe you should get rid of your low-tier Samsung and get a real Android device. Buggy updates are a thing of the past...
9. bubbadoes (Posts: 972; Member since: 03 May 2012)
Who cares, I'm getting tired of these updates, and fragmentation across the spectrum anyway. I'm going to either W8 or ios...GPS doesn't even lock on my Droid 3, Verizon called Motorola and they had me on the phone master resetting and clearing the cache and everythihg else, just in the end to tell me that they can't diagnose the problem without me sending them the phone. Who in this world can send their phone to a company and be without a phone while they diagnose the problem. This kind of support has me leaving Motorola, Google and the whole fruit, cookie concept. Good Luck! All you people out there can thumb down, and bad talk all you want. I'm been with Android since the Original Droid and have owned Droid, 1,2 and 3, X1 and X2, Bionic, Thunderbolt, Charge, Fascinate and now S3--and you know what. I haven't seen a phone get update on any of those phones other than talk...if an update arrives, then it's plaqued with bugs and fixes....so my boycott is just frustration built up over 5 years of being with Android and the Google experience
12. bigdawg23 (Posts: 449; Member since: 25 May 2011)
Had an issue with my HTC Vivid. My Vivid would reboot when hitting a edge area and it tried to always bounce back to HSPA/HSPA+/LTE. This would result in boot loops until I pulled my battery. AT&T and HTC both said for me to send the Phone to them. Like I said Who is giving me a loaner smartphone. No one stepped up.
I am also considering going back to Apple as no matter the rom custom or factory on any of my android phones they are bugs and glitches. When I had both the iPhone 4 and 4S no problems ever occurred to me. I only root and mod my phones to get a better experience. I jail broke my iPhone 4 and experience all kinds of app issues once I restored it things went back to normal.
Currently I do have JB on my GNote 1. However have had to revert to different JB roms or even back to ICS when the power button arises.

Police search for 'armed, dangerous' man following Englewood shooting
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Fifteen schools were on lockout Wednesday as police searched for a person of interest that they consider armed and dangerous after an early morning shooting in Englewood.
As of 11:05 a.m., police said the lockout at all 15 schools had been lifted, but that the search for Chris Fields, 27, who has been named a person of interest in the shooting investigation, was still ongoing.
Douglas County police spokesperson Ron Hanavan said the shooting occurred at a business at 365 Inverness Parkway a little after 8 a.m. Hanavan said one woman was injured in the shooting and transported to a nearby hospital.
Though the reports have not been confirmed by police, sources have said that the incident involved a man shooting his ex-girlfriend.
The suspect in the shooting fled on foot, according to Hanavan. There is a high police presence near the scene of the shooting as officers are attempting to track that individual down.
At 10:15 a.m., police identified Chris Fields, 27, as a person of interest in the investigation. Police say Fields is approximately 5-foot-7 and 155 pounds with brown hair and eyes. He was last seen wearing a black jacket and a black watch cap.
He was also wearing a black backpack and could be driving a silver Toyota Corrolla with an American Flag sticker. The vehicle's license plate number is 981-JBW.
Fields was arrested on Sept. 27, 2011 in Douglas County for felony intimidation, stalking and harassment. Shortly following that arrest, two related women — ages 22 and 51 — filed restraining orders against Fields. A judge granted orders of protection for the two on Nov. 11, 2011.
On June 15, 2012, Field was arrested again for felony contempt of court, a charge that was related to the aforementioned stalking case.
There were 15 schools that went into lockout status Wednesday in the Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, Parker and Castle Rock areas as police investigated. The following is a complete list:
- Acres Green Elementary
- Bridges Program
- Cloverleaf
- Eagle Ridge Elementary
- Early Childhood Center North
- Fox Creek Elementary
- Hope Online
- Lone Tree Elementary
- Sand Creek Elementary
- SkyView Academy
- Chaparral High School
- Mammoth Heights Elementary
- Pine Lane Elementary
- Sierra Middle School
- DCS Montessori
According to RTD, the County Line station and the bus bridge from Lincoln to Dry Creek were closed as police attempt to track that suspect down. Officials said those closures were lifted as of 9:30 a.m.

The Phillipsburg celebration of Earth Day on April 27 and 28 at Perfect Christmas Tree Farm has an impressive line-up of environmental educators, professional musicians and community leaders.
Running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., activities include gardening and vermicomposting workshops; an all-day Reuse Market; movies, and family friendly activities like hayrides; wildlife identification and an original "Act-out" play. Food and beverages will be available to purchase, so bring an appetite along with family and friends.
The Reuse Market starts at 9 a.m. on both days, one hour earlier than the official start of the Earth Day Celebration, and ends at 4 p.m. Vendors can contact Spirit of the Arts Foundation at 973-875-2068 and ask for Sandy or go to vendor-finders.com/applications.html and download the application.
Many activities are on both days but the Saturday events are somewhat different than those planned for Sunday. "We motivate people to come both days," said Cynthia Curtis, farm owner.
"On Saturday, the chicken eggs are set to hatch; the movie Mad City Chickens, which presents the benefits of raising chickens in an urban environment, will be shown in the morning; Dave Miller of Earthmovers Drum Collective and Mr. Ken of Independence Drum School will facilitate a drum circle to get your heart beat going and your feet tapping," Curtis said.
Each day there are hayrides, an act-out play for children, seed balls, gardening and composting with Red Wiggler worms. On display is a home-made chicken ark, for three to five chickens that can be placed over a raised garden bed. In the afternoon the Plastic Planet presentation and discussion begins.
Warren County Clean Communities, Phillipsburg Garden Club, Four Points Consulting and Freeholder Richard Gardner help sponsor the event.
The community event is free to the public. There is no charge for any of the activities. There is a $5 charge for parking. Perfect Christmas Tree Farm is located at 999 Route 22 in Phillipsburg. For more information or a full schedule of events, visit perfectchristmastree.com or call 908-387-1225.

LONDON - Miles Chamley-Watson is thrilled to be competing in the Olympics in the city of his birth, the place his family still calls home.
Chamley-Watson also quickly identified himself as "a New Yorker at heart." That makes sense, since he lives and trains in New York.
So where does Philadelphia come in? It is listed as the young fencer's official hometown by the United States Olympic Committee. And Chamley-Watson's parents do indeed live right in the heart of Center City, just a few blocks south of City Hall. But this 23-year-old seems about as Philly as wine gums and Yorkshire pudding.

Flintoff up for Aussies
Captain Andrew Flintoff immediately turned his attention to beating Australia after poor batting cost England against India.
England were bowled out for just 125 in their ICC Champions Trophy opener in Jaipur after being inserted on a two-paced surface.
India did lose six wickets in reply but the nature of their victory was comfortable and England must now beat Ashes rivals Australia on Saturday to have hope of progressing from Group A.
Flintoff said: "It is only one game, we are still in the tournament, we are not disillusioned by any stretch of the imagination.
"We will learn from this and come back stronger. There is a week now to reflect on our next game and go forward."
Flintoff's 100th cap for his country began badly as England were left reeling at 27 for four by man of the match Munaf Patel and his new-ball partner Irfan Pathan.
Then, faced with such a modest target, India were given breathing space as Steve Harmison's opening over cost 20 runs.
"We started badly with both bat and ball but it's the first game, we have two left and we know exactly what we have to do now," Flintoff added.
"If we had got up to 160 or 170 we were in the game but as it turned out we did compete with 125 and I was pleased with the character we showed.
"We came back into the game and managed to take some wickets, which gave us a glimmer of hope but another 30 or 40 runs and it could have ended in a different story."
Flintoff was dismissed for a duck, batting at number three, and half his side were back in the dressing room inside the first 20 overs as Patel and Pathan made merry.
"They put the ball in good areas, exploited a little bit of uneven bounce at times but they swung the ball too and asked questions of the batsmen," Flintoff said. "On the day we were not quite up to it."
Opposite number Rahul Dravid was irritated by the loss of late wickets which distorted the winning margin.
"We lost a couple of unnecessary wickets at the end - and we can play much better than we did - but it was good to start the tournament with a win," said Dravid.
"We took a bit of a gamble with the toss and needed a big performance from the bowlers - and they delivered."
Although Paul Collingwood and Jamie Dalrymple threatened to build a more challenging total, recalled off-spinner Ramesh Powar dismissed them both in his three-wicket haul.
"He was the one who gave England problems last time and on these wickets he is quite a handful," said Dravid.
Lancashire fast bowler James Anderson impressed on his recall following a stress fracture of the back.
Anderson dismissed Pathan and Dravid in the same over to provide some respectability to proceedings and Sachin Tendulkar was accounted for by Harmison before the Indians reached three figures.
Off-spinner Dalrymple then copied Anderson's double strike in the space of a handful of deliveries to put an edge on the result that flattered England.

The concert-going experience may ring your bell if you're a middle aged connoissuer, but will teenagers ever get their kicks on Opus 66?
TO COAX ANY of my three teenage children to come with me to an orchestral concert is damn hard work, no doubt about it. Which saddens and puzzles me. I don't think they lack knowledge of classical music. They play instruments to a relatively good standard; they sing in choirs and perform in the local youth orchestra. Nor are they unenthusiastic about attending live performances of other sorts of music. From the great, muddy Reading Festival to the parade of wannabe bands in the dance clubs of North London, they search out opportunities to hear rock music with indefatigable zeal

Lead poisoning basics
Childhood lead poisoning is the most preventable environmental disease among young children.
Yet about 500,000 U.S. children have blood-lead levels above which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend public health departments take action.
National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week is Oct. 21-27. Ask yourself two simple questions to know if you and your family are at risk for lead poisoning:
- Was your house built before 1978?
- Is your house being repaired or painted?
If you answered yes to either one of the questions above, there are a few important things to know about lead-based paint.
Lead-based house paint was banned in 1978; however, many homes built before 1978 still have lead-based paint under newer paint. Therefore, childhood lead poisoning is still a major health problem in the United States.
In fact, lead dust is the most common cause of lead poisoning in children and adults. Lead affects almost every part of your body.
Although lead hurts children most often, it can also be dangerous to adults. In children, lead can cause many problems, including growth and learning delays, low IQ and behavior problems.
In adults, lead can cause high blood pressure, memory loss, muscle and joint pain, and other health problems.
Lead can be found in many places both inside and outside your home. Lead may be in soil, water, and even cigarette smoke.
The most common places to find lead dust around the home are windows, doors, and porches, and it is caused by normal wear and tear.
When homes built before 1978 are being remodeled and repaired, lead dust is released into the air when lead-based paint is disturbed by sawing, dry sanding and drilling.
There are many ways to lower the risk of lead poisoning for your children and yourself:
- Wash hands after playing outside and before eating.
- Clean floors, doors and windows, including frames and sills, at least weekly.
- Use warm water and an all-purpose cleaner to clean.
- Don't dry sweep floors with a broom, or use a dust mop.
- If possible, use a vacuum cleaner with a hepa filter.
- Use a doormat, or take off shoes before entering your home, so you don't track in lead from dirt.
- Wash toys and stuffed animals often.
The only way to be sure your home has lead hazards is to have it tested by a certified professional. If there are lead hazards in your home, lead repair and removal can be done by certified contractors who have special training to handle these hazards.
For further information on lead and lead poisoning, call the Erie County Department of Health at 451-6700; or call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (5323). You can also find information on lead poisoning online at www.cdc.gov/nceh/lead or www.epa.gov/lead.
Deborah Mongenel, RN, is lead case manager with the childhood lead poisoning prevention program at the Erie County Department of Health.
