SALEM - The Salem Arby's Cruise has been invited to do a pregame car show for the Mahoning Valley Scrappers versus the Jamestown Jammers game on July 22.
Arby's Cruise organizer Gene Johnson said he was contacted by the Scrappers, a Class A short season affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, over a week ago.
"We're all pretty shocked and excited about it, it came out of the blue," Johnson said. "We're looking forward to it, it'll be fun ... we must be doing something right."
The show, called the Mahoning Valley Scrappers Inaugural Car Show, will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Game time is 5:05 p.m.
The regular Arby's Cruise program with a 50/50 drawing and door prizes will be used, Johnson said.
The event will have participant-judged trophies with other trophies judged and awarded by the Scrappers and the Arby's Cruise staff.
The awards will be made at 3:30 p.m.
Proceeds from the weekly Arby's Cruises usually goes to the Salem Community Food Pantry, but Johnson said, "All proceeds will be going to Second Harvest Food Bank, with a percentage amount earmarked for the Salem Community Pantry. This should help us push to 100,00 pounds of food this year."
Arby's Cruise organizers set a goal of raising 70,000 pounds for 2012 after surpassing last year's goal by 7,000 lbs.
At 4 p.m., the top 10 (or possibly15) winners will be brought into the field for the pregame show.
Pregame festivities include a show featuring the "The Marvelous Wonderettes," a four-member group from West Branch High School that will perform a 1950s show in the stadium.
The Mahoning Valley Scrappers play at Eastwood Field in Niles in the New York-Penn League.

Yeah. Absolutely delicious and something I craved for a week. Someone gave me a vanilla bean it was good to, but the baby love the chocolate. Oh, I forgot I used carob powder instead of cacao.
Rating4.5/5 (from 4 ratings)4.5
Yield1 serving
1 frozen banana (You can use regular banana if you don't have a frozen one, but it doesn't turn out with that yummy cold taste that pudding tends to have.)
1 avocado
1 to 2 tablespoons cacao powder
Healthy squeeze of agave syrup (to taste)
Recipe Directions
1. Throw the banana, avocado, cacao powder, and agave into a food processor (or blender).
2. Mix until smooth, and then enjoy!
VeggieBean's ThoughtsBy VeggieBean
This is a variation of a raw chocolate pudding recipe I found by Ani Phyo.
It's delicious!
I just tweaked a couple things and it turned out super satisfying.
I only made it for one serving since I'm the only raw eater in my household, but you could easily double or triple the recipe, even if it's just for yourself!
I just had some a minute ago and I'm already wishing that I had made myself more.
If using a regular banana instead of frozen, I recommend chilling the pudding for about an hour before eating.
I haven't tried changing the flavors yet, but I figure you could leave out the cacao powder and add vanilla bean instead for a vanilla pudding, or some use tahini and maple syrup for a more caramel tasting result.

The Look of Love | 2013
Jump to
After starting his show business career as a mind-reader in a cabaret act, Paul Raymond went on to become Britain's richest man and a modern King Midas. Realizing that sex sells, he began building his empire of gentleman's clubs, porn magazines and nude theater, provoking outrage and titillation in equal measure. Raymond's personal life was as colorful as his revues. His marriage to Jean, a nude dancer and choreographer, ended in a difficult divorce when he met Fiona, a model who became the famous pin-up star of his magazines and shows. His daughter Debbie was the true love of his life, his business partner and heir to his empire, until her tragic and untimely death aged 36. Three weeks later Raymond was named Britain's richest man and his fortune put at 1.5 billion.

THE n-ALKYL-α-cyanoacrylate monomers have the ability to adhere to moist living tissues. Methyl-α-cyanoacrylate monomer, in particular, has been used since 1960 by many investigators as a tissue adhesive for various surgical procedures, although the monomer is not widely used in clinical surgery. This is because of two factors: histotoxicity and relative failure of adhesive versus suture techniques. It is our belief that the success of surgical application of the cyanoacrylate tissue adhesive is dependent on the new surgical techniques suitable for the use of monomers in addition to development of a better monomer(s). New techniques have been developed at this Institute using the higher homologous monomers.
This paper evaluates the various higher homologous monomers used for the surgery of internal organs. (Table 1). A useful tissue adhesive must possess several properties. These are (1) shelf stability, (2) polymerization in the presence of moisture to a thin polymer film, (3) adequate

A new subsidiary of Container Safe, called Consafe Offshore, was established to explore the new market opportunity of accommodation platforms. Consafe Offshore ordered the world's first purpose-built accommodation platform, or "floatel", from Götaverken Cityvarvet shipyard in Gothenburg in 1977. The platform, which was of a so-called semi-submersible type, was delivered in June 1978 and named "Safe Astoria". Being purpose-built, the platform offered improved capabilities compared to former oil platforms converted into accommodation platforms.
The Safe Astoria was later followed by 10 additional new-buildings from 1979 to 1982, making it the world market leader in offshore accommodation at that time.
In 1982, Consafe Offshore was listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange.
In addition to its accommodation rigs, Consafe Offshore also took delivery of the Safe Regalia in 1985, which was the world's most advanced diving vessel (also a semi-submersible) at that time.
In 1985 there was a sudden decrease in oil price which quickly went from USD 40 to USD 10 per barrel. This resulted in low utilization of the company's platforms as several contracts suddenly were cancelled within a short period of time. Having debt financed large part of the company's expansion and with a very uncertain market outlook, Consafe Offshore was unable to gain sufficient support from its lenders and shareholders to continue operations. As a result, both Consafe Offshore and the privately owned Container Safe went into bankruptcy.

If you mean something more > than "safety checks alone are not sufficient", I'd like to understand > what you mean. I know you've thought about this a lot and so I suspect > you may be hinting at something non-obvious... Well, obvious to me, but only in hindsight, and hardly a new insight. But let me preface this: sometimes, in discussions here and elsewhere, I only seem to do half of a context switch, and I respond to something in one discussion from an inconsistent context. It's a particular problem when I am responding quickly, which is all too often. I think that is what happened above. On to answer your question. Dynamic checks cannot render a program correct. They can only render a program "fail-faster". My main focus of attention at the moment is on critical systems, where the requirement is that the program not fail. Adding checks that fail the program explicitly doesn't really help in that context. I think what happened above is that I made a left turn because of an unrelated discussion. Since it is tangentially relevant, let me play it back. As I'm sure you (DAW) probably realize, we've encountered a lot of publication resistance to the BitC work in the PL community. Of course there are always people who don't "get it", but we have gotten lots of comments of the form "but X already does that", where X is one of [cqual, cyclone], and hopefully Deputy will soon be getting mentioned as well. Somewhere along the way we realized that there is a subtle point we had utterly failed to make. Cqual, Deputy, Cyclone, and friends are focused on the problem "How do we make an existing [variant of] C safe[r] to run?" Each of them, I think, offers an interesting approach that is good and useful work. BitC is focused on the problem "How do we make a systems program in which both safety and liveness are assured, while satisfying the requirement that low-level representation is never perturbed?" This is prompted in part by discussions with Rod Chapman about Spark/ADA. One of the big deals about the Spark verification condition generator is that they can prove that fairly large codes are exception free, which justifies turning off the exception and bounds checks that are normally emitted by the compiler. But for systems codes involving tagged unions and pointers (as in BitC) that problem becomes very very nasty very quickly (Spark doesn't have pointers for this and other reasons). We chose to engineer a lot of that problem out of BitC rather than try to do hard verification conditions. About the only property left that we need to discharge is array bounds checking, and for a number of reasons that one isn't that hard (not easy, mind you, just not that hard). shap

Opinion: Governor's transportation policies running on empty
On April 12, the northbound lanes of the 82-year-old Pulaski Skyway were shut to allow for major repairs. While necessary, the Skyway project encapsulates all that has gone wrong with transportation policy during Governor Christie's tenure.
New Jersey's dynamic economy relies heavily on transportation infrastructure – especially commuter rail access to Manhattan. In 2003, the existing commuter rail tunnels reached their full capacity, meaning New Jersey Transit is unable to add additional service to meet peak morning and evening demand.
At more than 100 years old, these tunnels represent a precarious yet vital link that needs constant attention and repair. This bottleneck will become even more problematic in the coming years as New Jersey is expected to grow to nearly 10 million residents by 2030.

The discussion on the work of Han Tang Yuefu Music and Dance Ensemble invites us to see the performance from two equally interesting perspectives: on one hand, the relationship between ancient traditional forms and their contemporary re-interpretation; and on the other hand, the relationship between Western and Asian dance. In her presentation during the Dance Talks last Monday, June Huang highlighted both these aspects providing the audience with ample historical background and fascinating visual material from a wide range of theater and dance performances that were critical for the shaping of contemporary dance performance in Taiwan.
June Huang's talk stressed the fact that the formation and creative work of the Han Tang Yuefu Ensemble is not an isolated artistic event but part of a larger cultural movement in 1980s Taiwan. Initiated largely by western-educated artists and intellectuals, this artistic avant-garde was particularly prominent in the areas of theater and film and had a radical impact on the country's cultural identity as it sought to preserve traditional forms (i.e. Beijing Opera) while introducing new ideas and elements of Western performing arts (the excerpts from performances of Western Classics (i.e. King Lear, Macbeth) using the forms and aesthetic of Chinese Opera were particularly interesting). It is in that context that Ms. Mei O-Chan, founder of the company and a dancer who was educated in Western and subsequently in Liyuan dance, reinvented tradition and created "a modern montage by linking two traditions together." She used well-known Chinese historical stories which had never been used in old Liyuan Theater as her theme, applied chapters and excerpts of traditional Nanguan music works to create the atmosphere for the theme, and combined traditional Liyuan dances and movements to complete the theme."
While thematically the new performance modes are Western-influenced, the dance patterns and styles remain strictly Asian and radically distinct from Western dance forms. June Huang emphasized the strict practice and movement of Asian dancers with hand gestures modeled out of living creatures (i.e. a flower, a crab), with few and calculated steps, low center of gravity as opposed to the high jumps of Western dance and an overall movement and performance that imitates puppets.
It was astonishing to observe, in the video presentations, the great spectrum of expressiveness, grace and versatility that the dancers are capable to achieve from within the stylistic rigidity of their performance. From that perspective the piece presents a unique opportunity for theater and dance performers alike to get a close look at techniques and performance practices with still enormous potential for exploration and cross-fertilization with Western performance.

The club chats with the bestselling author on February 16th at 1:30 p.m. PST.
Fast-paced, shocking and superbly written, The Black Box is the perfect pick for our Sony Readers to come together and chat with the long-time favorite author.
Join the chat!
Submit your questions ahead of time for a chance at having your question answered by Michael Connelly in an exclusive video interview! Submit via a blog comment below, on Facebook, or sending questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
About THE BLACK BOX:
In a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved.
Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the "black box," the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together.
Riveting and relentlessly paced, The Black Box leads Harry Bosch, "one of the greats of crime fiction" (New York Daily News), into one of his most fraught and perilous cases.

Hi Monika
Re - shovelers...a look in our handbook (vol 1) and it says that shovelers spinning in groups could create a whirlpool effect which concentrates the plankton and/or brings it up from deeper water which would be out of reach to single birds. This info was printed in 1977 tho so it could be out of date by now,still sounds very plausible.

But >within traditional and recent microkernel system designs (the ones I >know something about), pushing permissions through intermediates may be >prohibitively expensive. As I've oft repeated on this list I'm an advocate of the "network down" approach to creating greater market share for object/capabilities. At the network level (e.g. YURLs and CapWiki, wideword, etc.) I believe the design options, protocols, etc. are quite apparent and the trade-offs between protocol options are fairly easy to access. The one microkernel system that I designed, NLTSS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLTSS basically made all processes appear as if they were on a network, so the design issues were the same (e.g.: http://www.webstart.com/jed/papers/Managing-Domains/ ). That system failed to deal with confinement adequately. Dealing with confinement generally for systems connected to the Internet I think is a bit of an issue - seeming to fall on the shoulders of whatever manages the domains of processes/active objects. That might get back into the realm of microkernel designs, but one would hope that however the microkernel is designed it can at least limit communication to that specifically granted by object/capabilities (POLA) - as NLTSS did not. >The experience from L4 and EROS seems to show that we can make IPC in a >microkernel system fast enough to afford a single RPC round trip for >each operation (2 IPC operations), but the clans-and-chief protection >model of L4 was already considered too expensive because it required 4 >IPC operations for each RPC.

I believe to satisfy the TCSEC sorts of concerns it would suffice to have delegation between people tracked/audited. This can happen of course only if people want it to happen, but it can be set up so that it is simple and natural to do and that it is recommended policy. It's been noted again and again on this list how it's possible to set up revocable capabilities, membranes, etc. on top of a simple base capability communication mechanism. If such tracked delegation is used relatively rarely (relative to all process to process delegations) then I don't believe it need substantially effect system overhead. >Of course, there may be alternatives. One may try to design a >microkernel system that efficiently supports an alternative set of >operations that is more adequate to build such systems. Or one may try >to design the operating system in a way to make such operations rare. >The latter is what we (Hurd) are currently pursuing. But that is >arguably more challenging than mere bookkeeping ;) The later is what I was suggesting above. Since I have implemented a comparable scheme, I know that it can be as simple as 'mere' book keeping, though of course it need not be. In our system an application wishing to create a revocable capability (similar to delegation) would make such a request of the server. The server would add a book keeping entry and return a new capability with the same permission (but that can be revoked through the book keeping entry, can have it's access audited, etc.). In our system the revocable capability went back to the requesting process that had the base capability. To effectively place responsibility a delegated capability must be communicated directly to the subject (person, process acting on their behalf) - the delegate. That's the part of this procedure/protocol I would like to see discussed more if there is sufficient merit. >However, my argument above goes beyond mere performance considerations. >There is a deeper problem involving timing guarantees. Take for example >the L4 kernel, which has a rather straightforward capability mapping >model (for memory in L4 X.2, for other stuff as well in the upcoming >L4.sec designs). The map operation can be performed in constant time, >no matter at which point in the hierarchy (and this requires tricky data >structures). The unmap operation however is bounded by the height of >the unmapped subtree only. This means in practice that a server can >only revoke a resource given to a client in a time that is only bounded >by the accumulated resources of programs cooperating with the client. In that case I argue that the design is flawed - though perhaps we aren't using common terminology. Clearly the server can "revoke" any capability that it serves simply by noting in whatever table structure it uses to define the meaning of the capability that the capability is no longer valid. >In this picture, it is difficult to design the system in a way that >gives the server a guarantee about the time it takes to revoke the >resources. This should at least give rise to concern. Now, these L4 >designs do not properly account kernel resources to tasks anyway, which >is a long outstanding defect that the L4 groups now try to correct, and >it turns out to be a very delicate and complicated problem (see Bernhard >Kauers Diplomarbeit on Kernel Memory Management). You haven't touched on any issues above that give me concern. I'll leave it to others to see if they notice any potential problems there. >I can think of ways to do away with this problem. For example, the >server may not care if the user's own resources down the hierarchy are >not released properly. However, the challenge is to come up with >something that is both reliable and efficient. If you only care about >one, it's not particularly challenging. I'm getting the sense that you are dealing with the 'lost object' problem. Namely an effort to notice if all the references to an object have been removed - so that the object itself can be destroyed. While I consider this an interesting problem (we dealt with it using an accounting mechanism - pay for it and it stays even if there are no references, stop paying for it and it is destroyed even if there are outstanding references) I believe it is a distinct problem/issue. For the purposes of lost object tracking the base capability and the revocable capability are distinct (if for no other reason than to recover the revocation state if the revocable capability no longer has any references). Revoking a capability effectively destroys the resource that it's capabilities point to - rather than what would happen if a reference to a capability (revocable or not) is removed. >I think that one of the big problems the capability people are facing is >that the world at large cares more about efficiency than reliability. >Thus, we ignore performance issues at our own peril. This is one reason why I believe in the "network first" approach. Performance issues at the network level are generally dwarfed by network latency (typically many milliseconds) so they usually aren't as much of a concern. Of course if a protocol requires multiple round trip times then performance can again become a problem. This is indeed an issue with the sorts of implementations that I imagine, but I don't believe the problems are serious. Certainly nothing like the layered redirections in CapDesk - if I'm remembering Alan Karp's comment on that system correctly. I also believe that the "world at large" doesn't give a hoot for object/capability operating systems at this point. They have no market share. If systems like Polaris and/or Plash end up being layered on current market leading systems (Windows and Unix) and introduce noticeable overhead then there may certainly be some issues there. Yet another reason why I'm most hopeful about the network first approach. --Jed http://www.webstart.com/jed/

The benefits associated with breast cancer screening and screening in general depend critically on patients' life expectancy and the risk of death from competing causes. However, it is unclear if health care providers and patients take life expectancy into account when deciding whether to screen. A number of studies have examined the impact of age and health status on receipt of mammography.1- 9 All find that mammography rates decline with age but report mixed results regarding the impact of comorbidities. These studies do not control for previous screening behavior.
The present study used a new approach to evaluating the relationship between life expectancy and receipt of mammography that does not treat each mammogram as an isolated event. We identified a cohort of women who received screening mammograms in 2 consecutive years. Then, we determined how the occurrence of serious health events (eg, myocardial infarctions, strokes) affects receipt of a third screen. We view these events as serious health events that should lead patients and clinicians to revise downward their estimates of remaining life expectancy. This method better reflects the decision problem facing patients and clinicians.
The data consist of Medicare claims and enrollment records for a random 5% sample of beneficiaries residing in Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) catchment areas. Our study population consists of women 67 years and older who (1) received a mammogram in 2000 (hereafter, "the index mammogram"), (2) received a mammogram within 15 months, but not within 6 months, prior to the index mammogram, (3) were continuously enrolled in the fee-for-service Medicare program, and (4) were not previously diagnosed as having breast cancer. Criteria 1 and 2 were designed to identify women who are in the habit of receiving annual mammograms. We measured receipt of screening mammograms using Medicare physician office and outpatient claims.
We identified women hospitalized for serious conditions in the 11-month window following the index screen. We identified health events using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision (ICD-9) codes on Medicare inpatient claims forms and SEER cancer tumor registry records. We excluded women who were diagnosed as having breast cancer (n = 56), died (n = 235), or received a mammogram (n = 562) during the 11-month window. We used a Cox proportional hazards model to estimate the impact of serious health events on the receipt of a third mammogram, controlling for demographics and local area characteristics.
The final sample includes 25 884 women, of whom 17 196 (66%) received a third mammogram and 7673 were still alive and free of breast cancer at the end of the follow-up period. The Table displays the number of women in the sample who experienced each event, mortality rates, the proportion of women receiving a third mammogram, and hazard ratios from the Cox proportional hazards model. The hazard ratios are less than 1, indicating that women who experienced the health events were less likely to receive a third mammogram.
Our results are consistent with the hypothesis that some women and their health care providers, recognizing that the expected benefit of early detection declines with remaining life expectancy, consciously decide to discontinue screening following a serious health event. Though most women discontinue screening following serious health events, many do not. Our results suggest that there is a high degree of persistence in screening behavior. Surveys indicate that many women intend to continue screening throughout their lifetimes and apparently do not understand how life expectancy affects the value of early detection.10- 12 Women and the health system at-large may benefit from shared decision-making tools and enhanced physician-patient communication on the subject of life expectancy and cancer screening targeted at previously screened women.

It sounds like someone left a giant white noise machine on in Candy Johnson's backyard.
Day and night, the oceanic hiss of traffic on Interstate 5 slinks across the rolling greens of the Vista Valencia Golf Course, through her backyard and into her windows.
With a 13-mile car-pool lane project on the table, Johnson hopes the noise doesn't get any worse.
The California Department of Transportation is in the environmental study stages of a plan to add carpool and truck lanes to Interstate 5 between state Highway 14 and Parker Road.
From her backyard on Farrow Drive in the 160-home Vista Ridge neighborhood, Johnson has a clear line of sight to I-5 traffic about a quarter-mile away, on the far side of the golf course.
Since she moved into her home in 1999, she said the noise has only increased.
Early Tuesday evening, the ambient noise of traffic measured 64 decibels in her backyard. That is about the range for heavy traffic at 300 feet, according to Caltrans' draft environmental study.
Normal speech at three feet is about 65 decibels.
Despite installing double-paned glass in her home, Johnson said she is sensitive to sound, and it often wakes her up.
"It's very unnerving," she said.
Johnson has been lobbying for support from her neighbors to petition Caltrans to include sound barrier walls along the freeway.
"I think we need to have more lanes, but they need to put in the sound walls," she said. "Right now the levels in our backyards are unacceptable."
Early Tuesday evening, the ambient noise level in Sally Coss' Altos Drive backyard was 69 decibels.
Tuesday is the deadline for residents to submit comments about the environmental study, and Johnson said she is delivering a packet of responses today.
As of Wednesday afternoon, Johnson had 20 comment cards from her neighbors, in addition to her own, and was expecting more by the end of the night. She started circulating the cards earlier in the week.
While some homes are more affected by the noise than others, the Vista Ridge homeowners association board is in favor of sound walls, HOA Board Secretary Steven Blain said.
Blain, who has lived on Farrow Drive since 1980, said he has been in charge of distributing comment cards to homeowners.
"As far as the board is concerned, (the request) is a benefit to all homeowners," he said.
Whether or not noise-reducing walls are erected depends on residents, said Arnold Barmar, a noise and vibration specialist with Caltrans.
The 11 locations where sound walls are recommended are outside the state's right of way, he said Wednesday. That means 100 percent of the affected residents would have to agree to having a wall built on their property.
The sound walls can range in height from 6 feet to 14 feet and can cost about $2 million per mile to erect, Barmar said.
He said, "in the near future," residents will receive a letter asking them if they would be in favor of a sound wall.
The construction cost would not be borne by residents, Barmar said, and property owners would be responsible for some maintenance costs.
He said sound measurements were taken primarily in residents' backyards, at different times of the day and in 24-hour intervals.
The added lanes on I-5 would likely cause a two- to four-decibel spike in the noise level, he said.
Because of the elevation of the homes in Johnson's neighborhood, Barmar said it would not help to erect a sound wall along the edge of the golf course.

let's just do some educating for a minute.
GGG hits only hits hard when his feet are set.
so naturally anybody willing to go toe to toe with him will have a tough time and will probably be KOed
Rosando and Guerrero are both perfect canidates because they suit his style.
if GGG is such a beast why not fight Molina?? but no GGG isn't taking a tough fight he's taking a look good fight.
until GGG proves himself he's just flavor of the month. Proksa was supposed to be a beast until he lost to Kerry Hope and now he's nothing after being KOed by GGG.

Tricky choice because neither are really known to the public to really bring in real money but Rosado has the slight edge since hes coming off an impressive win on NBC sports where most boxing fans remember Guerrero getting KO'd by Brewer.
As far as better chance to win I say Rosado because an prime Angulo loss is alot easer to swallow then getting KO'd by an old journeyman. Rosado is tough and has the power to at least chin check Golovokin. He can last a few rounds to try and land a shot. I mean Guerrero from what i remember is fast but reckless. He could steal a few rounds by moving away decreasing Golovkins punch output but once Golovokin lands clean which he'll only need one, Guerrero is going to sleep.
I love James Kirkland and picked him against Angulo and I could see this as a Kirkland-Angulo type fight where Golovkin is seen as the tougher fighter with the harder punch with the better punch resistence but Kirkland proved you can push a hard puncher backwards and outwork them. Golovkin has never really faced that kind of adversity so I hope Rosado blitzes him early like Kirkland.
However if they think they can ink Sturm, Sergio, Quillin, or Geale anytime soon I'd pick Guerrero just to get Golovkin use to chasing a speedy slick guy down. But if they just want to build him until he can make enough money to get one of these guys then I'd go Rosado because its a more favorable style match up extremely fan friendly which could get him some fans especially if they can get a stronger main event and have Golovkin steal the show in the beginning.

Nikon Coolpix S2700 Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Your Comments

Nikon Coolpix S2700 Camera is really looking nice.
Finally a camera to replace my ageing S200. BUT, and to my mind it's a big 'but' that would have put me off the purchase, that's not a standard micro-USB socket on the underside but once again a proprietary Nikon connector. Nikon are at best economical with the truth in describing it as USB in the camera specification and putting a standard USB icon on the socket cover. So that's yet another cable to have to carry. Worse still, unless you look very closely you can't tell it apart from a standard micro-USB cable, so if you have as many USB devices and cables as I do you run a high risk of inadvertently going out with the wrong one.
Bake a fancy graphic on a subpar Chinese plastic junk and you have a winner. Who in their right mind would even consider this "camera", maybe for my 5 years old daughter…
Mad Hungarian….What you wrote is simplistic nonsense.
pink? is there any color of this?
There is a total of 9 colours/designs available. Good value for money, highly recommendable one
I dont have a memory card yet, and when i click a photo, it is not saving in internal memory but for videos yes…
hi… i have recently bought this camera and i have found this an amazing experience to capture the photos but i have been facing a minor problem that is regarding the video recording. mean when i record the video being on 720 HD quality, and i transfer the video from camera to my personal computer to watch that video and to keep it, when that video is played the pixels of that video get extended and it does not give a good look to watch. kindly, tell me the solution…
will be waiting for your respond.
Before buying this cam. Could anyone tell me that If I use this camera continuously for only photos, How long does the battery will last? how many hours i can take photo continuously?
@Greewin, the battery lasts longer. You can take around 250 photos with the battery. But I usually take more when my resolution is 1600x1200. So, can be around 300+
I recently bought this cam, n its really cool, handy and fun to use. but 6 days of use and suddenly the lens couldn't open up and it shows lens error. so, my cam became useless. i went to the store i bought it from, n they say i dropped it!! i did NOT! what nonsense is this? well, i'll go to one of the service centres now but i m expecting a similar reply.. but i'll give it a try coz its a really nice cam and i already love it! any tips as to how do i get it right?
avoid nikon. bad customer care and their lcd screen is bad.and they dont cover fungas or scrtch.
i have purchased one s2700 in october,2013 ,the camera was imported on march 2013 and it has some permanent old spot or fungas and local customer care denied for any assistance
Simply it's a very cool and slim,pics quality is super and video also like this have purchased it on Deepawali.
Would this camera be suitable for a 14 year old, i want a basic camera, but i want to be able to take good quality photos, and want to be able to take photos in motion.
For good video recordings always set the autofocus mode to "full time AF" and 720 HD . my s2700 records better videos in lexar class(4) 4GB than in sandisk class(10) 8GB. The sandisk Sd card(extreme)makes the camera very fast but videos are little blurry :(
What about the focusing? I'd like to, is it able to make the background blur???
My camera is 3 months old and show a blank screen with a black "leaf". It does not react to any buttons apart from the on/off. Please advise how to rectify. Many thanks
Fine line down front of screen nikon s2700 coolpik help will it show on pictures thank you
I have bought my S2700 last August, and I have to say I'm quite happy with it. To see a shorter review: the battery life is long enough, the images/videos taken are almost fully noiseless even on high ISO levels and worse lights (even comparing to my much more serious and higher priced Panasonic-LUMIX DMC-FZ38 camera's RAW mode), and at the same time much nicer than I would expect from such a cheap camera: the focused parts are sharp enough even on full optical zoom and the light dynamic range is also very good. The autofocus is a small downpoint: sometimes even in good light conditions it can fail the focus lengths giving out unuseless results, less good lights make the focusing even worse, but it is good that you can set the focus area on the screen manually when you don't want to focus on the central part of the photo. For nighttime photography the top shutter speed of 1 second makes a very high limitation of using ability, but luckily the low noise levels on higher ISO rates still gives you a fair result when choosing ISO increase to make the image lights higher to compensate the low shutter issue.
As a conclusion I have to say that I've bought this camera for 14.999 HUF (~29.5 EUR), for this price you could hardly find any better cameras currently, so the price/value rate is excellent. I can only say I like this camera and I recommend for anyone who need a budget camera and still have the need for a correct image quality - you surely won't be disappointed!
Nice look, I think it was perfect for ladies pocket camera for personal use. Specially color and size is really awesome.
This camera performs really badly in low light environments. I have an ixus 85 is and it performs 100 times better. Just don't buy this even if this costs 1 cent. I jsut can't understand why so positive review…

Yes. The access-point won't forward packets on behalf of a client

The best dual SIM phones
0. phoneArena 24 Jun 2014, 09:40 posted on
The best dual SIM phones let you take advantage of two good carrier plans at once, use one of the two SIM cards for family and friends and another for work, or simply allow you to snatch that great new data plan while your contract with another carrier still has mileage left in it...

so many thumbs down?
i guess some particular fanboys just can';t accept the fact that there are better-equipped phones than their beloved phone out there...
but it's glad to know that PhoneArena pays attention to reader's feedback and update the list with HTC Desire V and Samsung Galaxy S Duos.
btw, you guys should check the Lenovo S880.
and maybe you can put it on your list too.

What is the point of this articles, when most of them are not on the U.S. or EU market. Only import on full price.
U.S. and E.U. carriers will never let the big OEM to sell high-end dual SIM devices.
Samsung have no problem to put dual SIM on S4 or Note 3, but then they will lose the deal with the carriers. Even is Samsung sell it only at full price on the el.shops, the carriers will break the deal with Samsung.
Only low end dual SIM devices can go.

How can you say these are the best dual sim phones when there aren't any reviews made and most of them are not out in the market yet?
6. OpTiMuS_BlAcK (Posts: 418; Member since: 04 May 2012)
Basing on specs and price I believe.

The Galaxy Y Duos is out there, i have use it for couple weeks, the bad side is the screen is a bit wash out.
7. imran_khan0786 (Posts: 61; Member since: 21 Jun 2012)
Galaxy series is not a good dual sim phone. Its has lot of problem can't use whatsapp. When using whatsapp second sim will be off. Best dual phone is Asha 305 with new using interface. Excellent phone.

22. pegasso (Posts: 276; Member since: 27 Nov 2011)
they've updated the article.
now HTC Desire V is on the list.
12. IgorEfremenko (Posts: 72; Member since: 30 Nov 2011)
I was expecting to see ZTE U960 as the best dual sim smartphone. Just read its specifications: Android 2.3 OS Qualcomm MSM8255 1.0GHz 3G GPS WiFi 4.3 Inch...
But here is the most important part: DUAL SIM ACTIVE STANDBY (i.e. it is the only dual sim android smartphone with TWO radios)!
15. jael206 (Posts: 145; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
i thought all these phones are already dual-active standby..
49. rahul.niks (Posts: 86; Member since: 31 Oct 2013)
In which world do u live, Android 2.3 is out of this world in new smartphones, even someone gives that, come to India, you will find much better phones with kitkat and snapdragon 200 and 400 processors and dual sim and 1gb ram and still under $100 without any carrier subscription

my photo is the new acer phone! :) but gonna change it!
18. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
the list is not a good one... first the tipo dual aint dual standby.. the asha line aint a smartphone and not dual standby...
the acer really is a good choice! i just hope that acer just raise the battery capacity to at least 2200mAh, 1500 mAh on a 4.3 qHD phone wont last a day... and thank for its processor for lowering it down...and i thought that they use mediatek's new chips!!
samsung already announce a new dual sim phone called the galaxy s dual.. i think its the s advance dual sim version... but great news about the phone is using dual core (qualcomm) and dual sim and ICS!!! i just hope not dual price! :) i'm hoping its only around $230 or php10,000...
19. jael206 (Posts: 145; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
hey, i actually own a nokia asha 200, and it IS dual active standy
20. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
oh sorry.. i thought its not dual standby... some of the nokia phones aren't like that!
21. jael206 (Posts: 145; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
its ok.. but you are right about the tipo dual tho.. you need to make use of a key to switch from one sim to another.. which is kinda lame nowadays
23. jael206 (Posts: 145; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
i could have voted for the xperia tipo dual, but changed my mind for not being dual active.. so my best bet of the bunch will go for the HTC DESIRE V!
24. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
well actually htc one v sucks a lot! lame battery lae display...
have you ever heard of lenovo p700? i dont know why both gsmarena and phonearena didnt list them on lenovo phone sections (maybe because its triband, but i think triband works ok for me)...
P700 is ICS, 4" IPS display, ang 1ghz processor... they both of them are compared and there's no shocking that P700 wins because of much cheaper (only 10,000 philippine peso compare to htc one v 17,000!) and already has an IPS display and faster processor!
you can google/bing/yahoo search it (i dont know what search engine you use) and look for yugatech . com's website!
25. jael206 (Posts: 145; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
nice one from lenovo! how come the google results are mostly from philippines? is it exclusively for PH?
26. pikapowerize (banned) (Posts: 1869; Member since: 03 May 2012)
umm...yeah... i think... its in my country (ph) and it beat htc one v in dust... coz i think lenovo just want to prove something first before entering the android wmpire of the world!! and its only triband so i guess it wont be available on US since ph and us have different frequencies!
35. taikucing (unregistered)
Nah, Lenovo is not exclusive for Philiphine. It's biggest market is Asia, but the supply sucks. Have you ever heard Lenovo P780? It has a monstrous 4000 mAh battery.
29. Wiked (Posts: 1; Member since: 12 Oct 2013)
I am not sure what dual standby means. I had a telstra dual sim and could only use one card at a time, had to activate the second card which would de activate the first. I see no mention of the HTC one m7 802w which has 32gb of internal memory 2 gb ram, 1.7ghz quad core processor, 4mp camera, 1080 x 1920 pixels, 4.7 inches touch screen with a front camera for video calling

31. andregabeh87 (Posts: 13; Member since: 16 Jan 2013)
And about Motorola Moto G dual sim version? It's avaliable here in Brazil and some other markets.
43. t-dome (Posts: 1; Member since: 17 Jan 2014)
What other countries? Do you have a link of the news? I'm from Europe and I have trouble finding the dual sim version.
51. rahul.niks (Posts: 86; Member since: 31 Oct 2013)
In india, latin American countries mostly, not in developed markets, only emerging markets. Moto g and moto e outselling many domestic brands here in india, they are just like revolution here, both dual sim

Ohh boy you forgot XPERIA M dual which is very good mid-low range dual sim phone with specs to rival some mid range phones!
38. blattlaus (Posts: 63; Member since: 12 Dec 2010)
+1 The C2004 model of the Xperia M is the only dual sim phone that you can use with T-Mobile 3G in the US.
55. rahul.niks (Posts: 86; Member since: 31 Oct 2013)
Xperia m2 or Xperia t2 ultra are much better, but list will go on if every dual sim phone will be shown

Go to JD-dot-com, one of the largest online retailers there, choose the English version, and search for Idol X. They just marked it down to $300, I guess Idol X+ is about to be announced. It's usually shipped as a gift with lower value, so as not to pay customs duties...

can these two sim phones beat this three sim phone?
I saw one from Babiken on youtube
53. rahul.niks (Posts: 86; Member since: 31 Oct 2013)
I had a 4 sim phone, quad standby, i had a mobile shop here in india, but those are for those who actually need them for some purpose, like flexi recharge, but i don't recommend anyone. I have a dual sim phone with dual standby but instead of using dual sims, i have two separate phones, its kind of messy to use dual sims on same phone, many bad accidents could happen and can cause your break up with your girl
41. arenasand (Posts: 1; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
Try Allview, some of my colleagues have these dual-sim phones, they have good specifications and are affordable.

Hi,somebody know where is possible tu buy one DUALSIM SMARTPHONE? and what is the best?? in US ??
52. rahul.niks (Posts: 86; Member since: 31 Oct 2013)
sir i don't know us market has these phones or not, but i guess they will have moto g dual sim version or moto e. If not, i think lenevo is launched there, so many lenevo phones are dual sim only, also if asus zenfones series and if you can't find them, go for Samsung duos, they are everywhere but Samsung is not good in mid range, they lag too much. My personal choice is moto g,if you can find it

Lenovo ThinkPad X220-4290-R98
Average of 1 scores (from 3 reviews)
Reviews for the Lenovo ThinkPad X220-4290-R98
Source: Student Buying Guide
If you need an ultraportable 12" screen light weight laptop and have $800 to spend the X220 should be a strong consideration. The price is great for what you get, which is a very rugged laptop with a lot of power and various configuration options. I really love the Premium IPS screen option, for only +$50 it's worth it. Other more expensive options such as an upgrade to a Core i7 processor or SSD storage aren't necessary for most student needs, but if you really love having the latest and greatest technology it's nice to have the option. My favorite part about the X220 is the excellent performance you get with the Core i5 processor and still to the moon battery life, almost 8 hours with a 6-cell under conservative usage. At 3.3lbs with the 6-cell battery the X220 is easy to carry in a backpack and you don't have to bring the charger along during the day if you don't want to.

Part of the Process of Strategic Planning. Self assessment can be thought of as the needs assessment step in the strategic planning process. Strategic planning is used by both the public and private sectors to help set the course for improving the effectiveness of their business. Public works agencies are simply businesses that exist in the public sector to provide services to the community.
Part of the Process of Strategic Planning.
Use of the self assessment in a strategic planning process will ensure that agencies address the key issues necessary for effective operation and management of public works. The recommended practices contained in the manual represent consensus of leaders in the field of public works.
An agency that complies with the recommended practices and sets goals for improvement based on the recommended practices can be reasonably assured of success in providing effective service to their community.
Strategic Planning For Public Works Agencies. APWA has chosen the term "Strategic Planning for Public Works Agencies" to describe a process that includes the development of an agencies mission and vision statements; conducting a needs assessment using the self assessment process; establishing goals for improvement: developing an implementation plan; and successful attainment of the agencies goals. An agency that completes the entire strategic planning process will be eligible to apply to APWA for agency accreditation.
Agency accreditation is not the end of the process. It is intended that the accredited agencies will use the strategic planning process to provide a framework for continuous improvement of their policies, procedures and practices. Agencies will undergo reaccreditation at three year intervals to ensure that the agencies are maintaining the standards of excellence that allowed them to become accredited.
Before Beginning. No form of training or improvement program can succeed in an organization that is uncertain about its mission, is in turmoil, or is dysfunctional. It is essential the agency carefully assess its overall leadership and management abilities prior to beginning the self assessment.
It is essential that the organization have some sense about why they exist and where they are going before proceeding. The agency should prepare mission, vision and value statements before beginning the self assessment process. It is not surprising that Practice 1.1 of the manual discusses the need for these statements.
The agency may discover that they need to revise their mission or vision during the process of conducting the self assessment As such, the director and project manager should remain open to such mid-course corrections.
Four Essential Ingredients. Before embarking on a self assessment program, it is important to recognize four key elements crucial to the program's success:
The absence of any one of these factors will greatly diminish, if not negate, the program's effectiveness. The success of the process is also highly dependent on the ability of the organization to devote significant staff resources to evaluation of the agency's current practices.
The Director's Role. Effective, committed leadership at the top is one of the key ingredients for success of the self assessment program. This applies not only to the director and the program manager, but to the agency's top appointed and/or elected officials. Following are recommendations to assist the director in defining their role in the self assessment process.
Lend Support to the Self Assessment Program Manager. The program manager must be appointed by the director, and given direct and frequent access to the director through a series of regularly-scheduled meetings. The manager should also be empowered to use resources necessary to successfully complete the self assessment program. This includes office space; equipment; staff and administrative support; training and a budget allocation.
Establish Agency-wide Support. The director should clearly communicate his or her expectations for the program at the outset. This communication should clearly outline the goals of the program, describing self assessment as a high priority endeavor, summarizing its benefits, and soliciting cooperation. The form of the communication will vary by agency, but could include letters, memos, newsletters, e-mail, voice mail, video or other appropriate media. The program should become a standing topic at staff meetings and other employee gatherings to insure all employees can participate in the process.
Seek Support from the Chief Elected or Appointed Official. It is essential that the chief elected official and chief appointed official, if applicable, understand the importance of the self assessment process and fully supports the effort. This support at the top is essential to the success of the program. The agency should consider the wisdom of obtaining buy-in from the entire elected body prior to commencing the program.
Commitment by top elected and appointed officials will pave the way for subsequent meetings with other government officials whose cooperation may become necessary during self assessment. The agency may also choose to share an overview of the process at community meetings so that the public is aware of the department's self-improvement activities.
Seek Support from Organized Labor. The support of the entire staff is necessary for any program which contemplates making changes in how the organization accomplishes its mission. The support of organized labor is essential to the success of the self assessment program since many of the practices and procedures may be governed by contracts and agreements.
Early involvement of organized labor will increase the chance for success of the program. Leaders of organized labor should be contacted prior to commencing the self assessment to provide information about the process. Continuing dialogue with the leaders of organized labor during the process is essential to maintain a cooperative atmosphere.
Direct Involvement. Once the process is started, the director should take an active role in reviewing and approving each submittal as proof of compliance.
Become Familiar With The Management Practices Manual. The participants in the process are encouraged to read the Public Works Management Practices Manual cover to cover. This is the best way to become acquainted with the project as a whole, and will make the process of prioritizing and scheduling much easier. The logical progression of the self assessment is to address the first nine chapters of the manual, which deal with administrative issues common to almost all agencies.
The agency's organizational structure should be reviewed as one of the first work elements. The practices found in the chapter on organization focus on the description and dissemination of the agency's basic codes and purposes. The organizational practices need to be addressed early in the process, but could warrant change depending on the findings of the self assessment.
Next on the agenda is the method of developing, distributing and implementing policies, procedures and administrative directives. Refer to Chapter 6 in Management Practices for recommended practices. The question of documentation and compliance should also be addressed here, in terms of both the agency's use and documenting the practice for the self assessment process.
During the self assessment process, the agency's policies, operating practices and administrative procedures should be thoroughly reviewed for deviations from your agency's real practices. The practices should then be compared to the practices set forth in the Management Practices Manual. Inconsistent, confusing or contradicting policies, procedures and practices should be identified for early correction.
Agencies should expect that the self assessment process will provide an opportunity to correct outdated policies and procedures. In many cases the agency will discover that a recommended practice is not addressed by any formal policy or procedure. The Management Practices manual can be used as a starting point to develop appropriate policies and procedures. The agency should also take advantage of the process to resolve misconceptions which may exist among staff about the agency's actual policies and procedures.

ARIZONA FALL LEAGUE - Scottsdale 2, Salt River 0
Brandon Crawford did not get a chance to extend his hitting streak for the Scorpions on Tuesday. He was out of the lineup.
Joe Panik saw his first action since Friday, and he may have been a little rusty. The 21-year-old infielder went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts. Panik's average plummeted back under the .300 mark, down to .286 (20-for-70).
Stephen Harrold pitched a scoreless ninth inning, preserving a Scorpions shutout and earning his first save of the AFL season. The young reliever allowed a hit, a walk and struck out a batter. Harrold has posted a solid 2.02 ERA over 10 appearances.
MLB.com: Huntzinger, Scorpions silence Rafters
Brandon Belt continues to keep his head just above water for the Leones del Escogido, going 1-for-3 with a run scored, a walk and two strikeouts on Tuesday. Brandon has kept his production very steady, but rarely fantastic, hitting .303 (20-for-66) on the season.
Tyler Graham went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a strikeout for the Tomateros de Culiacan Tuesday. The 27-year-old, who swiped 60 bags for Fresno in 2011, also stole his fifth base of the winter season. Graham is hitting .277 as the everyday leadoff hitter and center fielder for the Tomato Growers.
Justin Christian saw his average fall to .226 (7-for-31) after going 1-for-5 with a run Tuesday. It was the 31-year-old outfielder's seventh appearance as the center fielder and leadoff hitter for the Caneros de los Mochis.
Hector Sanchez continues to absolutely dismantle VWL pitching, collecting three more hits, including a double, in four trips to the plate for the Tiburones de La Guaira. Hector also knocked in his sixth run in his 14 appearances before being lifted for a pinch runner. The red-hot backstop raised his average back over the .400 mark to .426 (20-for-47).
Ehire Adrianza got the start at short on Tuesday for the Tiburones de La Guaira, his ninth appearance this winter. Adrianza went 0-for-3 before being lifted for a pinch hitter. The 22-year-old is still hitting at a very nice .379 (11-for-29) clip.
Max Ramirez went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts while DHing for the Bravos de Margarita on Tuesday, dropping his average to .260 (19-for-73).
No games in the ABL on Tuesday, nothing to report.
It's all or nothing so far for Johnny Monell in Puerto Rico. After going 3-for-3 in his first game with the Criollos de Caguas, the 25-year-old from the Bronx went 0-for-3 on Tuesday, making him 3-for-6 after just the two games.

Federalist No. 10 Friday, November 23, 1787
By James Madison
SUMMATION: Federalist No. 10 is the classic citation for the belief that the Founding Fathers and the constitutional framers did not intend American politics to be partisan and the ways in which to control and/or eliminate the concept of factions.
Madison believed that the root cause of the emergence of factions was the unequal distribution of property. He explained that those who held the most property also displayed the greatest interest in government; those who did not have property were disinterested.
