Race Information
Japan, Suzuka
October 09 | 14:00 local time, 7:00 CET
Regarded as one of the best drivers circuits in the world, Suzuka first hosted a Grand Prix in 1987 and the iconic figure-of-eight circuit presents the drivers and engineers with a real challenge; a series of fast sweeping corners with few braking zones. Like Barcelona, it is a track where a good well balanced car really stands out. It is often a dramatic race and the chances of a safety car are relatively high at 60%. Among many highlights here over the years are the duels between Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna in 1989 and 1990, where the pair collided to decide the outcome of both year's championships. Kimi Raikkonen's victory in 2005, starting from 17th place on the grid, is another classic, with his last lap pass on Giancarlo Fisichella. Sebastian Vettel has won this race four times, with Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button both victorious here in the last decade.
Circuit length 5.807 km
Race distance 307.471 km
Laps 53
2015 winner Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes)

Alleged HTC One XXL specs outed in leaked screenshot and video, offers quad-core and LTE too
0. phoneArena 22 Jun 2012, 06:45 posted on
A leaked screenshot allegedly shows off specs from a new flagship Android smartphone being developed by HTC called the HTC One XXL; no question about where this beast lies as it is rumored to have a quad-core Snapdragon processor and 2 GB of RAM on board...

I heard it was 6.6.1 Maple Syrup
23. skymitch89 (Posts: 1299; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
It cannot be "Hot Chocolate" because "H" is already in use by Honeycomb. It'll be more like something that starts with an L, M, or N.

If someone was that bothered by a 'new and improved' version of their phone coming out they'd literally never be in the position to buy a new one. It's just a fact of life that there's always going to be something new a month or two down the line.
I have to stay positive though, I bought a Lumia... ha ha
7. GuiltyBystander (Posts: 199; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
I know that, if someone keeps waiting for the new and improved he will keep waiting forever but can't companies at least wait like 6 months to release something new and not every couple of months?
13. Femto (Posts: 61; Member since: 21 Mar 2012)
Just switch to Verizon, then you won't have to worry about that. They release a new smartphone about once every six months. It's awesome to watch the other big 3 release phone after phone while you have the comfort of knowing you're stuck with your outdated bezel monster. Their latest 'new' flagship is known as the RAZR MAXX. Maybe you've heard of it. Same damn phone as RAZR, just has a bigger battery. Same low screen resolution. Same clunky old processor and huge bezel. Sold yet? The RAZR was released over 7 months ago. Hurry the f*ck up with the GS3, VZ. Just sayin'.
31. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
Verizon has been pretty slow this year, with no answer back to the One X/Evo LTE, no Galaxy S3 phone slated yet, etc. They were hella busy last year though, they released new phones like every month (droid bionic, droid 3, motorola razr, galaxy nexus, all within the span of a couple months).
40. pandambaba (Posts: 28; Member since: 18 Feb 2012)
the bionic to the razr pissed me the f**k off because it's like you could've released the slimmed down version from the getgo but, you hype up a brick for all of 2 months just to release the razr? really?
42. BattleBrat (Posts: 1457; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I have the RAZR, and now ICS, Clunky? Bezel monster? No, this phone is a work of art, and it will kick the living s*** out of a Nexus. And I get 2-2.5 days battery life, and that's with a RAZR 1 not the maxx.
15. nicholassss (Posts: 368; Member since: 10 May 2012)
I wait until my phone is almost completely outdated, and hardly runs.
then i stretch it until something sweet comes out. then i use the 14 day verizon return policy to get any better phone that comes out in the next 2 weeks or just incase i totally hate the one i bought. ;)
38. Jonathan41 (Posts: 532; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)
If this HTC XXL really impresses me I'm crazy enough to buy one of these unlocked too.
These phone are coming out TO DAMN FAST!! lol
5. Mitchel (Posts: 228; Member since: 25 May 2012)
This will be a beast once it was released. But G-Note 2 will put this in it's place come October..
6. Tjey007 (Posts: 86; Member since: 22 May 2012)
Damn...its been only weeks i got my S3..already m feeling outdated bcz of these phones....why u no understand HTC,Sam that i dont have a duck which lay money ..i mean golden eggs..:(
8. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
By pure processing power this thing should be leaps ahead of SIII.
Adreno 350?
Quad core S4?
Even the S IV will be lucky with specs like that.
Hah, can't wait to see the excuse remixfa will come up against this one, if true!
Snapdragon will be the most powerful chipset appearing in phones this year, just like I said.
12. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
I don't know, but Adreno 320 is quite disappointed. GL Benchmark show that it's in the middle of Mali-400Mp (in GS3) and PowerVR SGX543Mp4 (in the new Ipad), and the CPU power of quad-core Krait is quite the same as Exynos 4412 (from Antutu benchmark).
16. Mitchel (Posts: 228; Member since: 25 May 2012)
Did you know what you're talking about?
Exynos 4412 Quad > Crapdragon S4 Dual> Tegra 3 Quad
Exynos 5250 > Crapdragon S4 Quad > Tegra sucks again.
24. skymitch89 (Posts: 1299; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
And by the time they come out with a quad-core S4 that supports LTE, Samsung will have come out with an Exynos-Quad that has better performance than the current one and will also support LTE.
30. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
The S4 Quad will support LTE, and Samsungs next processor release will be an Exynos A-15 dual. Whether it will support LTE is unknown, considering they didn't put LTE in the first Exynos dual or the quad, it's doubtful.
35. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
you are such a fanboy troll... good lord.
the S4 is pretty tied with the T3. Neither are as strong as the exynos quad.
Do a little math. the Exynos is what.. 30%-40% more powerful than the S4 by most benchmarks. If you add 2 more cores, your adding probably about 50% power. IF that holds true, the CPU will be just a smidge faster than the current exynos quad.
The exynos A15 dual and quad (the A15 dual's CPU will be nearly the same as the A9 quad CPU, but the A15 quad will have the same roughly 50% power increase, which easily tromps the S4's) will be out at the same time period, both with the new mali 6xx GPUs. On paper, the mali 600 series blows away the Adreno 300 series.
So if all that holds true, Exynos 5250/5450 will still be the kinds of the jungle by a good margin.
But at that point... does it matter? They will both be doing nearly Xbox360 graphix on the phone. These numbers games are for geeks like me and a few others. For regular people anything that's out now or coming out is more than plenty.
37. hung2900 (Posts: 956; Member since: 02 Mar 2012)
The thing I mentioned is the GL benchmark and Antutu Benchmark. From the score of Antutu Benchmark, quad S4 and exynos 4412 are the same, ok?
Im not Exynos or quadcore fanboy, but Im a Qualcomm hater.
43. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
it wouldn't just be a 50% increase. the new S4 Pro would add a new pair of cores and a much needed and significant improvement in the GPU department from the Adreno 320. it would really be around a 75%-80% increase. the Exynos 4412 would be as comparable to the Pro as the S4 is to the 4412 but that doesn't matter because like you said the Exynos 5 and the OMAP5 should be there to compete but if Samsung doesn't get on it and bring LTE support they'll be out of the game in the US completely unless we were comparing Wi-Fi Only Tablets. if that were to happen it would just be between the S4 Pro and the OMAP5 which i'm certain the ladder would more than hold it's own. if the current time table is still accurate it should be safe to assume that the next Nexus will be the OMAP5 premiere device. the OMAP is still Google's reference SoC and it can be used on any network much like the S4 and i'm sure we'll see the next Nexus in around October-November, that's around the time the rumored Pro devices should be making themselves known so Samsung has until then to get ready for the next leg in the race or they'll be relinquishing their title to Texas Instruments.

As long as it is not limited to 16GB capacity with no SD Card, then i will be putting my money down for this.
11. legion77 (Posts: 2; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
Its fake !! . Even adreno 320 GPU hasn't been released and this phone uses adreno 350 GPU ?
17. InspectorGadget80 (unregistered)
Video says private. and it's obviously a FAKE. It's too early for any HTC phones to come out with a QUAD CORE COMPATIBLE LTE phone
18. babyk (Posts: 308; Member since: 03 Nov 2011)
htc and snapdragon are like brothers and sisters. this phone will be out it may not be adreno 350 but there must be quad core krait from htc this year with adrena 320 at least.
22. metoyou (Posts: 279; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
Agree, it should be 320 not 350
20. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
Days of camera and innovation are over for android oems. Its all about how much they can cram a core into their phones just to satisfy the techies. Lets put four, six, or eight cores in. Lets cram it up! That'll get their attention and keep them coming back. At least with MS OS, HTC won't have to worry about cores. They'll have to compete by design, camera, and innovation. Otherwise there is no way they can differentiate from the other oems.
27. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I'm pretty sure they will keep it at quad-core. They will just upgrade the quads and the GPUs to keep up with the latest version of Android and the high-res screens. Quad is enough, anything more will be approaching desktop power territory, and we don't need that. That extra power will be unnecessary
25. rpankaj (Posts: 29; Member since: 21 Jun 2012)
yeah.. its adreno 320 gpu... not 350.. Qualcomm doesn't has any such gpu.. n snapdragons are way ahead in usability than those exynos frm samsung.. just powerful in benchmarks... real users use tegra or snapdragons...
26. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I wouldn't say Snapdragons are better than Exynos. Exynos was the most powerful dual-core processor until the S4 came along, and that's only because the S4 used the new architecture. Exynos is on top with the quad right now, and Exynos will be on top again when their new A-15 dual core comes out.

I'm passing on the SIII in the U.S. because of its garbage Adreno 220/225 GPU, flimsy build quality, and dim screen, but the XXL would definitely be for me if it was released quickly. I loved the screen and build quality of my international One X, but hated no LTE and awful battery life. I can't justify getting the U.S. version because it is gimped like the SIII, so the XXL would do the trick.
33. TROLL.ISAHA (banned) (Posts: 535; Member since: 28 Mar 2012)
This is a killer in specs. Adreno350 that's better than the sgxmp4..
34. lpratas (Posts: 305; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
what i've read in the GSMARENA site it was that the GPU inside of the HTC XXL it will be the Adreno 320, not the 305. Now, i don't know which site it's wrong about this information.
39. pandambaba (Posts: 28; Member since: 18 Feb 2012)
hmmm. contract is up in december so the one x should be super cheap if this is really coming out. i honestly don't think there are gonna be any more major changes in hardware this year, so if i get the first one x i'd just be getting relatively the same thing at a cheaper price. decision made!

Jackson's 'This Is It' ticket sales start strong: Strong enough?
Tickets for "Michael Jackson's This Is It" rehearsal footage/concert film went up yesterday despite the fact that the limited 2-week run of the film starts a month out on Oct. 28.
MovieTickets.com has been handling the pre-sale "This Is It," and according to Sony Pictures and the Associated Press, screening for Los Angeles sold out in a matter of two hours last night. Sony, who bought the flick for $60 million, also says that 30,000 tickets have been sold total over 24 hours.
However, as of press time, fans in New York have lots of options: tickets are available for every date during the October/November run, including plenty of Oct. 27 "midnight" showings. Maybe there's something in the water?
Click here to order your tickets.
It's definitely in Sony's best interest that fans show up at the box office: with the price tag at which the movie was bought, plus whatever they owe the Jackson estate, the company likely needs gross around $150 million worldwide to break even. The company says it's moved $1 million in Japan already, so at least they're on their way.
The highest grossing concert movie so far came with the 3D "Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour," which has logged $65.3 million since it hit theaters Feb. 1, 2008. Right behind it is another 3D film, "Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience," with $19.2 million after bowing earlier this year.
"Michael Jackson's This Is It" is comprised of footage culled from hours of Michael Jackson's rehearsals leading up to his scheduled 50-date stint at London's O2 Arena. The King of Pop passed on June 25, mere days before he was to start in July.
As previously reported, a new Jackson single by the same name ("This Is It") is due Oct. 12.

AG Caldwell, BP's Feinberg discuss claims process
KENNER - Attorney General Buddy Caldwell met with Ken Feinberg, administrator of the new BP claims process, in Kenner last week to discuss the new claims process.
"I believe my meeting with Mr. Feinberg was extremely productive," Caldwell stated. "The process laid out by Mr. Feinberg is much improved. We will continue to give suggestions to him on how things can be improved as the process goes forward and experience with the process reveals any needed changes," Caldwell added.
Individual and business claims previously filed with the BP Claims Process related to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico are transitioning on August 23 to the new Gulf Coast Claims Facility (GCCF), administered by Feinberg, for review, evaluation and determination.
Effective August 23, 2010, to file a claim, you can do one of the following:
· Access the GCCF website at www.GulfCoastClaimsFacility.com.
· Call the toll-free number 1(800) 916-4893 to receive a copy of the claim form by U.S. Mail (TTY: 1 (866) 682-1758).
· Visit one of the GCCF Claims Site Offices, locations of which can be found at the above web site.

Darrelle Revis to DeSean Jackson: "I'm Not Running in the Olympics"
Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Darrelle Revis is giving much thought to some comments made this week by DeSean Jackson about his speed.
Revis told reporters Wednesday, "I'm not here to discuss who's the fastest. I'm not running for the Olympics and he's not either. I'm just here to compete and play."
The Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, who will face off against Revis Sunday, told PhillyMag.com, "I don?t think he can run with me, I don?t think he?s as fast as me."
Revis took it in stride. "I'm not fast. I've never been fast. I'm not fast; he's fast. Fast people are allowed to say those types of things."
The last time the two squared off, in December of 2011, the Eagles pounded the Jets 45-19. Jackson, however, was limited to just two catches for 28 yards, suggesting that the All-Pro cornerback can hang with him just fine.
"I did in the past. It's no problem," said Revis on keeping pace with the 4.35 speedster out of Cal who was just named NFC offensive player of the week.
Of course that 2011 game was prior to Revis' season-ending knee injury last year, a torn ACL. He made it back in time to start the season opener but said he's still not where he wants to be.
"I feel like I'm not there yet. I've still got to improve. It's a long process with an ACL injury. The good thing about it is that I'm improving every week and just trying to get better...that's all."
Jackson doesn't believe the injury impacted Revis much and is prepared for the challenge of facing one of the best cornerbacks in the league.
?He?s playing ball. He?s a great player...I love facing guys that have the ability to be a shutdown corner," said Jackson.
"Anytime you have guys like that going into games, it gets the best out of you. You want to step your game up."
Jackson noted that this time around will be a bit different than when Revis was a Jet because he's lining up inside and playing more in a Cover 2 defense. Jackson's also in a new offensive system under Chip Kelly.
"Their up-tempo [approach], it's tough. Trust me, I've played against Tom Brady and some of their no-huddle and their fast-paced offenses at time," Revis said, noting that tempo has been emphasized heavily this week in practice.
"We're going to come out there and play aggressive football. We're going to come out there and attack people. That's what we want to do -- we play aggressive."
Just not with their mouths, of course. And at 0-4, Revis and the Bucs really have no business engaging in some trash talk.
As for Jackson's need to assert himself as the fastest man on the field, perhaps he might consider a pre-game race with an actual Olympian -- Bucs running back Jeff Demps.

A New Look for the artist formerly known as Arnotts Project
Last night I headed along, briefly, to the launch of New Look in the Jervis Shopping Centre, to see what all the fuss about the "largest New Look in the world" was about. New Look is one of those funny …
Last night I headed along, briefly, to the launch of New Look in the Jervis Shopping Centre, to see what all the fuss about the "largest New Look in the world" was about. New Look is one of those funny high-street stores; I generally like what I see, and rarely leave a store without buying something, but for some reason it would never be top of my Friday-night go-to list.
Well, that might all change now with a store practically on my doorstep – and what a store it is.
When you walk in, on the ground floor of the Jervis Street shopping centre, it's just like a normal store, perhaps the size, roughly, of Miss Selfridge, across the way. The layout at the moment features a large selection of Limited items – gorgeous embellished dresses, printed tops and floral tea dresses in a range of colours and patterns (my favourite was a very on-trend camel polka dot, but unfortunately by the time I got around to trying it on, my size was MIA), with a corner of partywear on the right and then, at the back by the escalators, a selection of coats (am kicking myself now that I didn't purchase a rough wool coat in khaki, with a gold and brown detail belt).
But it's downstairs that the full scale of this store really hits, because as you descend on the escalator it's as if the whole space opens up in front of you: it is enormous. I would recommend hitting it up early in the morning (not on a Saturday, you crazy fool) and taking your time, because there is a huge range of items to choose from. Womenswear, menswear, childrenswear all jostle for space alongside footwear (a huge range – at one stage I heard someone say "8,000 shoes"). It also has a really large space for its Inspire range of plus-sized items (a lot of which I wanted to buy but, once again, not in my size) and its shoe selection is great and really on-trend (shearling, military and lace were big draws).
The downsides? You won't like everything. Certain items I almost liked, but found ruined by unnecessary embellishment. The fabrics aren't super-luxurious or well-wearing. But bear in mind that these items are set at a really good price point, and for that you may have to handwash your tea dress if you want it to last. Some of the cuts are a little odd. (I'm now in possession of my first pair of trousers ever, that hang slightly oddly in the front but I loved the draping so have my fingers crossed that they'll come good.) I put that down to, again, cost-saving on design and manufacture.
In conclusion? Check it out. You're a better woman (or man) than I if you emerge empty-handed . . .

Football Field Tailgating Table

We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Get ready for game day in style and personalize this easy to paint tailgating table with the name of your favorite team, from Krylon.
- Krylon Fusion for Plastic® - Spring Grass (#2327)
- Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Paint - Pumpkin Orange (#52411) or a color that coresponds to your favorite team!
- 6 ft. plastic folding table
- Vinyl letters to spell team name (you need 2 sets)
- 1" vinyl numbers (18 – #0's, 4 – #1's, 4 – #2's, 4 – #3's, 4 – #4's, 2 – #5's)
- 1" Painter's masking tape
- Measuring tape
- Ruler (optional)
- Pencil
- Ammonia-based cleaner or paint thinner
- Lint-free cloth
- Newspaper
- Use ammonia-based cleaner and lint-free cloth to clean surface of table. If table is new, wipe down with paint thinner instead. Let dry completely.
- Apply painter's masking tape to the outside edge all the way around the table (this will give a clean white border along the edge later).
- Measure for the center of each long side of the table and mark with a pencil on the masking tape along the edge. Using these marks as a guide, tape a length of masking tape straight across the middle of the table.
- Your table is now separated into 2 halves. Measure to divide the halves into 6 equal sections on each half, for a total of 12 sections across the table. Mark with a pencil on the masking tape along the edge. Using these marks as a guide, tape lengths of masking tape straight across the middle of the table.
- A few inches in from the edge of the table, apply vinyl numbers so that the "yard lines" are marked. Use photo as a guide, and use measuring tape or a ruler to help you keep the numbers straight as you adhere them to the table.
- Make sure all the edges of the tape and numbers are firmly adhered to the table. Use your fingernail or something with a hard edge to run along the edges carefully. You want your paint lines to be crisp & clean when you paint.
- Using masking tape and newspaper, cover sides of table and surrounding areas to prevent overspray.
- Following instructions on can, apply Fusion Spring Grass to tabletop. Use several light coats rather than one heavy coat for best results. Once tabletop is completely covered, let dry completely.
- Very carefully, remove masking tape and numbers. Fusion isn't fully cured for 7 days, so if you aren't careful, you could scratch the paint.
- Following instructions on can, spray vinyl letters with Indoor/Outdoor Pumpkin Orange (or one of your team's colors). Let dry completely.
- Remove vinyl letters from the sheet they are on and apply to table in the "end zones". Refer to photo and use measuring tape or ruler to help you position the letters. It can be easier to work from the center letters out towards the ends to get everything centered properly. Have a little patience with this step as bigger letters take a little time to get positioned straight.
- Touchdown – your table is ready to take to the next tailgate party. Amaze your friends – they'll all want you to make them one!

Support the Libraries by Advertising on our Public Computer Backgrounds
Who Can Advertise?
Advertising is open to Wayne State University departments, organizations, student groups and non-profit cultural institutions. For an additional fee, and at the Library System's discretion, businesses in the Wayne State community may also book space. Space fills up very quickly so it is never too early to begin planning.
Please check the reservation calendar before planning the desktops as part of your advertising strategy to be sure that your dates are not already reserved. Typically, we suggest at least two month in advance during the months of November through April and three to four months in advance for September and October.
Is There a Charge for Advertising?
Beginning in fall 2015, the fee schedule is as follows:
$250 for Wayne State University departments, organizations, student groups and non-profit cultural institutions.
$400 for Wayne State community businesses.
The time period is a 7-day week that runs from Monday through Sunday. No partial bookings are available.
All Wayne State reservations are payable by IRB. Payment by check is accepted from non-Wayne State accounts only. All funds collected go towards enhancing library services.
Payment is due at the time of reservation. Reservations will NOT be added to the calendar until payment is received so we encourage you to secure payments early if you wish to reserve certain time periods. If you need assistance in filling out an IRB, please contact the Dean of Students office at 577-1010
What Can I Advertise?
Things like upcoming events, new programs and courses or messages regarding your group or organization are typical items that are advertised on the computer backgrounds. Images must be in good taste, contain no profanity or offensive graphics. All images and messages are subject to approval from the Dean of the Library System. We reserve the right to refuse requests.
What Format Should the Image be Created in?
It is the responsibility of the group or organization to create all graphics. Because of the icons, log off button, task bar and permanent Library System identifier, desktop advertising space is limited to the center area of the screen. Once your reservation is confirmed, the Library System will provide a Photoshop template and specific dimensions for you to create your image in.
Graphics that do not meet the specifications necessary for posting must be resized by the reserving party or, if that party is unable to do so, the Library System graphic designer will make resizing changes at a cost of $50 per hour, with a minimum charge of $50. Payment for resizing is due at time of request. The Library System will not create a graphic for you but will only make sizing changes. All graphics must be submitted for review ONE WEEK prior to the posting date of the event. Images that are not turned in within the proper timeframe may result in the forfeiting of the reservation. Images that are turned in later than one week prior will not realize any refund for any time missed from the week paid for. The Library System reserves the right to cancel the reservation if any of the deadlines are missed without previous contact or explanation.
How Many People Will I Reach by Advertising on the Computers?
Your image will be on over 500 computers throughout the UGL 24 Hour Area, UGL Reference Area, the UGL 2nd Floor, the UGL 3rd Floor, and the Purdy/Kresge Reference Area. During a normal day when classes are in session, people log on to the public computers nearly 10,000 times per day. Each time someone logs on, your image is the first thing that they see on the screen.
How Do I Get Started?
Check the reservation calendar for open dates. Then for more information, contact Jill Wurm through email at firstname.lastname@example.com
There are NO refunds. Once the reservation has been paid for, it is your responsibility to remember your dates and submit your ad according to the deadlines listed above. We do not send out reminders and we do not return funds if a deadline is missed or you forget.

Persons 45.4 kg (100 lb) or more above desirable weight have exponential increases in mortality and serious morbidity compared with normal persons. The presence of a complication or an independent coronary risk factor along with obesity increases the mortality further. Among the "threshold conditions" that appear at a critical level of body weight (60% or more above desirable weight), the most important are sudden unexplained death, ventilatory disorders, circulatory congestion, and functional limitations in activities of daily living. Recent epidemiologic data on extreme obesity and data on cardiac dysfunction show impaired quality of life in young, morbidly obese patients. Because of the malignant nature of morbid obesity and the inability to achieve and maintain sufficient weight reduction by non-surgical means, surgery is justified in this population.

Family Research Council Prays Against 'Homosexual Tyranny'
Pierre Bynum, the Family Research Council's National Prayer Director, is asking members to pray to "reverse laws and regulations that promote and reward homosexual practice." The FRC, which said a State Department initiative to prevent anti-LGBT violence abroad was "exporting homosexuality by extortion," criticized USAID for a policy which "strongly encourages" contractors to prohibit job discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Furthermore, the FRC asked for prayers against a decision by the Obama administration to ask Blue Cross Blue Shield to provide full benefits for a federal employee's same-sex spouse following a ruling by a judge which found that the Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional. "It is not too late for God to reverse the momentum of the homosexual movement in America," Bynum writes.
Homosexual Tyranny, Bureaucracy Style - Despite the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which President Obama and the Justice Department have chosen to ignore, Federal agencies are now promoting same-sex partner benefits for those legally united and otherwise. Benefits are not being provided to opposite-sex unmarried partners. This month, the Office of Personnel Management authorized BlueCross BlueShield to give health benefits to the lesbian "wife" of a female government lawyer, following a District Court ruling DOMA unconstitutional.
We know that the State Department is promoting homosexuality overseas. Now the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has sent World Vision a letter saying a new federal policy "'strongly encourages' all contractors to develop anti-discrimination policies covering employees' sexual orientation." It is not too late for God to reverse the momentum of the homosexual movement in America.
May God-fearing politicians, unintimidated by homosexual activists, speak truth with wisdom regarding homosexuality and its impact upon children, families and society! May God raise up leaders who will reverse laws and regulations that promote and reward homosexual practice (Ex 18:21; 2 Kg 22:1-23:28; Eze 33:7-9; Heb 13:4, 6; Acts 6:9-13, 51-60; Jude 7).

Unplug Lyrics[Hook]
If were all connected then how do I unplug?
How do I break free from all these drugs that I love
Tryna find a place in heaven next to the sun
And hope that I'm awake the day the end finally comes
If were all connected then how do I unplug?
How do I break free from all these drugs that I love
Tryna find a place in heaven next to the sun
And hope that I'm awake the day the end finally comes
[Verse 1]
Everybody wanna think they free
All the while they locked in tightly
Livin for the rush, quick on the clutch
I've been low and I've been fucked upå
I've been rich and I've been a bum
Seen it all and that's more than once
Roll it up and smoke then the blunts
On the road for what seemed like months
When I get up in the morning
Gotta greet the sun and stretch out these lungs
Some pay a high price for they ones
But not me, I'm a hard headed not to puff to fly off the cuff
But not us, I'm tired of fighting shadows in the dusk
Moving on but I gots no rush
Guess I'm in love with the pain, what can I say?
And I put this on my mama
It's death before dishonor
I've been living by a code, it's been extinct to these fake prima donnas
We piranhas, we survivors
We some unemployed 9 to 5'ers
Tryna express the pain that's inside us
Tryna touch some gold just like riders
Fuck what these haters gonna say
They hate themselves more than they hate me
No more trying and a straight face
Meet some nice guys, back with EMG
And I'm still yelling where you've been
While I give em all a taste of they medicine
Maybe one day I'mma see my friend
But until then I'mma say
[Verse 2]
How do I unplug from the people I've been connected to for the longest?
Niggas that I've been rocking with from the beginning of time
Knowin damn well they ain't the strongest
I ain't perfect, far from Jesus
But I'm tryna change my global ovation
Things playin over and over and over
Inside of my head but I can't change the station, make some damn
Maybe this blunt will help
A little kush but I ain't smoked in about ten years
Used to move with a multitude of men
But now I'm down to about 10 pears
All my tears gone with beers
I ain't equipped to deal with the way it really feels
I'm plugged in to the alternate
What I'm really popping up is in the really really real no
Some do coke to try to escape
Some drink away the pain and rush to get baked
Shit, I gotta resist that
Gotta figure out what I'm really pissed at
My uncle told me the way the long life is to live yo life stress free
So I turn the other cheek
And pretend like everything is everything but this shit still stress me
What am I to do? How am I to beat that?
It's like I live where the lies and the cheats at
And the good guys seem to finish last
And I haven't figured out how I'm gonna defeat that
You just gonna do me regardless
Living the best life's always the hardest
Tryin to chase after tomorrows
And disconnect and connect with our father
[Verse 3]
Is it me you grieve? or just the reasons kid?
You can be free to flee but please just do it vis-à-vis
Unplugged from negatives like it's the only option, kid
But just grow up and speak this shit
Don't do me like Robert did
Trike try for fowl
But above the other ruckus
He wasn't even man enough to be a motherfucker
Digital VVN, the predatory pedophile
Who's metamorphosed in a pile of shit up under my pedophiles
You've met him now
Getting drunk and smothering women cheda style
Poking up under the devil's house
You're joking, brother would never fall psych
Wrong, terminate the fact you even give a damn
Punch him dead in his Facebook, I'm down by where my limits land
Wait, cos here's the fuckin kicker man
See I got mental pics for life so why did I even block your Instagram
I'm killin links, a blinkin then the fam
They just connect us to direct us so I'll never fully skip your rank

National Employee Advocate Files Emergency Arguments to Halt Union Attack on California Public Servants' Rights
Sacramento, CA (March 2, 2005) – National Right to Work Foundation attorneys filed urgent formal comments with the California Public Employees Relations Board (PERB), calling on them to reject union lawyer's arguments that would gut current regulations intended to protect employee rights against compulsory union dues.
The process originated when California Teachers Association (CTA) union officials, with the endorsement of numerous other powerful unions, suddenly proposed that the PERB eliminate most regulations that clearly define employees' few remaining rights against compulsory union abuse.
The regulations were enacted by PERB in the 1980s to uphold the rights of teachers recognized by the Supreme Court in Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson, a case won by Foundation attorneys. CTA union officials in their "revisions" proposed to completely gut sections that require union officials to inform teachers of their Hudson due process rights to financial disclosure and to give notice of the right to object to union dues spent for non-collective bargaining activities, such as politics.
"Union officials want to eliminate access to the few constitutional protections teachers have in California against compulsory unionism abuse," said Foundation Vice President Stefan Gleason. "Rather than looking after the rights of the teachers they supposedly represent, union officials are simply trying to push through self-serving regulations."
In their formal comments, Foundation attorneys point out that gutting the PERB regulations would "leave employees in the dark" about how to challenge union officials' claims. One of the changes would force employees to first use their union's stacked internal procedures to challenge the amount of the fees, a process that is heavily slanted to favor the union officials' demand for higher dues. The changes would also eliminate compliance procedures which make violating agency fee regulations an unfair labor practice, and delete provisions that mandate chargeable fees be calculated by an independent audit of union expenditures.
Under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, as articulated in the Foundation-won Supreme Court decision in Chicago Teachers Union v. Hudson, union officials must provide audited disclosure of their books and justify expenditures made from forced union dues seized from teachers who have chosen to refrain from union membership.
PERB officials have scheduled a hearing about the proposed regulations for March 3, 2005 in Sacramento.

Keeping in touch with new technology
Super-fast broadband and tablet devices such as the Apple iPad are part of a humanised technological revolution. In this revolution, technology products will not succeed if they are developed for their own sake, nor simply to help users complete a specific task. Technology products succeed when they are incorporated by users into their daily lives in ways that serve their fundamental needs as people - fundamental needs such as relating to others and keeping in touch, even when they are miles apart.
It's against this background that Dr Doug Williams, principal researcher at BT, embarked on BT-led EU-funded research into how technology can help nurture relationships. With responses from more than 2,000 men and women in 27 countries, Doug is beginning to shape an idea about how people might use touch-screen tablet devices in the future.
"Perhaps not surprisingly, the responses suggested more of what we already know," said Doug. "The activities that were most popular - on an 'at least once per week' basis - were leaving messages for other people in the house, texting and using it as a phone."
So the most popular anticipated use for a touch-screen tablet seems to be leaving messages in the home – much like people today write notes for one another. Reminding granny to take her tablets, dad to pick up the dry cleaning, mum that she has a dentist appointment – or telling the children what they need for school and wishing everyone a nice day. All these things can be easily forgotten during a busy day so a prompt might be just what is needed.
Even though many tablet devices now come with a built in camera, it seems one of the least popular ideas was to use the tablet for a weekly video chat with just four in ten people saying they would like to use the technology for a weekly face-to-face video chat. That said, nine in ten said it might be something they would do once a year around birthdays, special days and holidays. The research also suggested that having a video chat while playing a game or looking at photos was also popular.
"Another novel use that appealed to our respondents was using a tablet to read stories to children, something parents working away from home miss out on and grandparents cherish," said Doug.
"It is, perhaps, unsurprising then that two thirds of people surveyed thought they would use their touch-screen tablet to do this at least once a week.
"But there are so many other ways that this technology might be used in future communication. Like sharing a game and a conversation with a friend living miles away. Or commentating on a TV programme, as if the other person is in the room with you," he said.
The truth is nobody fully understands knows how today's technology might be used tomorrow. If the recent past is anything to go by it's likely that people will certainly find innovative and as yet unthought-of ways to communicate and keep in touch.
For his part, Doug has his own view. "Whatever happens with technology and super-fast broadband, I believe they will serve a fundamental human need to build relationships with those who are dear to us."

Purported images of HTC One Max leaked

The HTC One Max, also known as the T6, is arriving late to the party to take on the likes of Samsung and Sony...

Xperia Z ultra have SD card n the galaxy note 2
12. Dr.Phil (Posts: 1176; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
You may see a bump in the camera compared to the HTC One, at least if HTC is smart enough to update it. I would expect them to have something within the 10-13 MP range. I would also assume they would have frequencies to support all of the major carriers.
I do have a minor complaint about the article where it stated: "The HTC One Max, also known as the T6, is arriving late to the party." It's not arriving late to the party. It's trying to compete with the Galaxy Note III, LG G2, and the Xperia Ultra. The only one out of that list that has been officially announced is the Xperia Ultra but I don't think it's been officially released yet (I don't keep up with releases in foreign countries). If it is announced at IFA then that means it will be announced around the same time as the Galaxy Note III which is one of it's direct competitors.

Xperia Z Ultra has already been released in Asia.

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate your feedback Dr. Phil. You always have well rounded reasons and arguments and aren't so biased like so many others. Love hearing what you have to say.
I am a Droid fan (although I have Apple products) . I much prefer Android (because of the openness and flexibility) but for what I use it for Apple works better for me at the moment.
I think Android is a much better platform overall but I do see strengths (and weaknesses) in all OS's and I see that you feel the same way (or at least present it as such). So thank you for your well balanced comments.

This is one SEXY looking device. It's CLEARLY the best looking & judging from the HTC One design it just looks VERY well build.
This phone will definitely contend with the Samsung Galaxy Note III. Let me please see what the NEW Note III will look like.
50. Jeradiah3 (Posts: 1033; Member since: 11 Feb 2010)
we'll know in a month about the Note 3, but i gree that the One Max may eliminate my distaste in HTC over the last few months. Like I said, the "battle of the phablets" wil begin sooner rather than later and I'll have some choices to make in december when Im eligible to upgrade.
Will it be........Galaxy Note 3..........Xperia Z Ultra..........or the One Max???

Sweet looking device, stretched like an ip5

Can't say i like it...
Recently, the design language of all OEMs are like "The design that sells is the design for all". Not just this one...just about everyone of 'em. It seems like all their thoughts on shapes and sizes have all gone haywire.
30. darkkjedii (Posts: 21382; Member since: 05 Feb 2011)
Well bro, their bottom line is money. They'll go with the trend till it stops being profitable. All these companies are greedy and looking for the dollar.

Don't EVER compare this or any HTC to an iPhone. They are not even in the same universe to compare.

Finally slim bezels on the sides. That's what I give the Moto X a ton of credit for. a device with a .7" larger screen than the iP5 yet almost the same size.
The HTC One 4.7" was too big for it's screen size.
28. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I never actually saw it as too big. Maybe a bit too tall, but not by much. Compared to the Razr HD (4.7" display), Galaxy S3 (4.8"), and One X (4.7"), it's about the same size, the Razr being the most compact of them all.
It's about 5.5 mm taller and less than 1 mm wider than the Razr HD.
Less than 1 mm taller and about 2 mm more narrow than the GS3.
And about 4 mm taller and 2 mm more narrow than the One X.
Really the only difference is in the height, and that's because of the front speakers, which is a welcomed addition despite the added height.
35. TheLolGuy (Posts: 483; Member since: 05 Mar 2013)
Right sorry I agree. I should correct myself and say that it wasn't too big -- but rather I appreciate the effort to minimize the bezel more. Tablets need some of that bezel, but phones could use less for better one-handed operation.
36. krysis (Posts: 76; Member since: 14 Dec 2009)
Yeah the One had alot of wasted space with all the bezel. It reminds me of what they were saying about the note 3 being roughly the same size as the 2 but with less bezel. This looks amazing, on that aspect. Except for them buttons, of course.
40. AppleHateBoy (unregistered)
Remove the friggin' stupid buttons and the HTC Logo. On screen buttons would do great on such a humongous smartphone. Plus it would make the phone look a little more pretty.
Take a look at this:-http://goo.gl/G8CGJh
45. Taters (banned) (Posts: 6474; Member since: 28 Jan 2013)
LOL 5.5mm is a lot and the GS3 is much much more compact with a bigger screen. The GS3 has huge dimensions on paper but it has so many curves that most of the phone measures much less than the largest points, which they have to report.
The HTC One is bigger overall than the GS4 for example and that has a 5 inch screen. Not to mention the Xperia ZL and the upcoming Moto X.
The HTC One is HUGE for a 4.7 inch phone.
46. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I've always said the One was too tall, but the width isn't much different from other phones with 4.7" displays. And, you're comparing it to the most compact phones out right now, it's not very fair.
Compared with the One X, Nexus 4, and Razr HD, the only thing that's "huge" about it is the height, and that's because of the front facing speakers, which are well worth it.
8. karim77 (Posts: 70; Member since: 10 Dec 2012)
Install a camera on the htc one max and please don't call it ultrapxel and tell us a true number of megapixels,although it's a good camera people want it to be a megapixel camera with a good number of megapixels,I don't think that most people like the ultrapixel term
9. RomeoJDR (Posts: 244; Member since: 09 Dec 2011)
Not seeing a slot for a stylus. The stylus is a key feature of Samsung's Note series. This kinda surprised me as the company who made their stylus tech for their tablets just recently developed a scaled down stylus likely for future phones. Without having that unique feature separating it from the other phones it becomes an over-sized phone more of a burden to carry and call from. Not having a stylus will make it even harder for HTC to jump into the game and compete with the Note 3 that already has a large fan base.
10. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Basically a HTC One on steroids. Bezel-less screen is pretty nice. Let's see how this turns out.
11. Martin_Cooper (Posts: 1432; Member since: 30 Jul 2013)
They have eliminated from the side bezel like 50% from HTC ONE, so it looks like it wont be much wider than the ONE but it will be quite taller.
13. Dro (Posts: 27; Member since: 23 Dec 2009)
This thing is gonna be huge with those front facing speakers which makes the top and bottom bezels too big.
15. Danishs (Posts: 147; Member since: 23 May 2013)
Sexy side bezels. Hopefully the power button will be on the side this time lol
34. Android4u (Posts: 456; Member since: 16 Aug 2012)

31. Gaurav008 (Posts: 328; Member since: 20 Jul 2012)
Galaxy Note 3 > HTC One Max.
Galaxy S4 < HTC One.
IMO Samsung will give the Note all it has, in its R&D department. Note 2 was great and Note 3 will build on that. No competition in the phablet category. Samsung owns it. :) Good luck to others though. I would be more than happy if I am proved wrong.
39. rizevnarastek (Posts: 347; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
In what way would the Note 3 be better?
Because it is rumored to have a GB of RAM more?
We'll see how it turns up.
33. Android4u (Posts: 456; Member since: 16 Aug 2012)
I am sorry but thats ONE sexy phone.looks like HTC took some bezel off!
38. OldNorseBruin (Posts: 232; Member since: 12 Mar 2013)
Man, if they only made this phablet pass IP 57 & IP 58, it would knock out the competition...
42. affandi (Posts: 85; Member since: 25 Jan 2013)
The silver bezel on the sides ruins the design, if you look at the standard HTC one it's all black on the screen area wich gives it it's unique design. Now it just looks like any other white phone.

Strength is very strongly correlated to muscle size, it's just a slow process. Keep getting stronger and you'll get bigger.
You also need surplus calories to optimally build muscle... so once you're lean, you might want to add a little extra protein and post workout carbs (taters, fruit, rice) to up your calories and maximize recovery.
Lastly, doing a combination of strength work and higher volume training is generally regarded as best when hypertrophy is your goal. Give this article a read for a bit more on muscle growth if you're interested in the science behind it!

WASHINGTON— Supreme Court justices appeared troubled Monday over whether to stop deals between pharmaceutical corporations and their generic drug competitors that the government says could keep cheaper forms of medicine from American consumers for longer periods of time.
Justices heard arguments from the Justice Department against what the government calls "pay-for-delay" deals or "reverse settlements."
Such deals arise when generic companies file a challenge at the Food and Drug Administration to the patents that give brand-name drugs a 20-year monopoly. The generic drugmakers aim to prove the patent is flawed or otherwise invalid, so they can launch a generic version well before the patent ends.
Brand-name drugmakers then usually sue the generic companies, which sets up what could be years of expensive litigation. When the two sides aren't certain who will win, they often reach a compromise deal that allows the generic company to sell its cheaper copycat drug in a few years — but years before the drug's patent would expire. Often, that settlement comes with a sizable payment from the brand-name company to the generic drugmaker.
Drugmakers say the settlements protect their interests but also benefit consumers by bringing inexpensive copycat medicines to market years earlier than they would arrive in any case generic drugmakers took to trial and lost. But federal officials counter that such deals add billions to the drug bills of American patients and taxpayers
A study by RBC Capital Markets Corp. of 371 cases during 2000-09 found brand-name companies won 89 at trial compared to 82 won by generic drugmakers. Another 175 ended in settlement deals, and 25 were dropped.
The Obama administration, backed by consumer groups and the American Medical Association, wants the court to stop the deals because it says they profit the drug companies but harm consumers.
What if a brand-name drug company is making $100 million, and a generic drug company says its product will reduce that to $10 million, so both companies agree that the brand name company would give the generic company $25 million to stay off the market, asked Justice Elena Kagan. "It's clear what's going on here is that they're splitting monopoly profits, and the person who's going to be injured are all the consumers out there," Kagan said.
But Justice Sonia Sotomayor said it may be going too far to make these deals illegal on their face, instead of making the government prove they are anticompetitive in court in each case. "It would seem to me that you have to bear the burden of proving that the payment for services or the value given was too high," she told Stewart.

Background: Generic prescription drugs made by different manufacturers may vary in color or shape, and switching among these drug products may interrupt medication use.
Objective: To determine whether nonpersistent use of generic drugs among patients with cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with inconsistent appearance of their medications.
Design: Cohort and nested case–control studies.
Setting: Claims from a commercial health insurance database in the United States.
Patients: Patients discharged after hospitalization for MI between 2006 and 2011 who initiated treatment with a generic β-blocker, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, angiotensin II–receptor blocker, or statin. Case patients discontinued their index medication for at least 1 month; control patients continued treatment. Control patients were matched to case patients on therapeutic class, number of dispensings before nonpersistence, sex, and age.
Measurements: Rates of changes in pill color and shape during the year after MI were calculated. Next, 2 refills preceding nonpersistence were evaluated to determine whether pill color or shape had changed. Odds of discordance among case and control patients were compared using conditional logistic regression.
Results: A total of 29% of patients (3286 of 11 513) had a change in pill shape or color during the study. Statins had the most changes in appearance, whereas β-blockers had the fewest. A total of 4573 episodes of nonpersistence was matched to 19 881 control episodes. The odds of nonpersistence in case patients increased by 34% after a change in pill color (adjusted odds ratio, 1.34 [95% CI, 1.12 to 1.59]) and 66% after a change in pill shape (adjusted odds ratio, 1.66 [CI, 1.43 to 1.94]).
Limitation: Only 3 categories of drugs indicated after MI were evaluated, and clinical outcomes were not addressed.
Conclusion: Variation in the appearance of generic pills is associated with nonpersistent use of these essential drugs after MI among patients with cardiovascular disease.
Primary Funding Source: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and the Harvard Program in Therapeutic Science.
Organization of cohort and nested case–control studies.
MI = myocardial infarction.
* No history in the prior 6 mo of receiving any drugs in the same therapeutic class.
† Control patients were selected from members of the cohort who were receiving the same class of drugs as case patients; were still under observation when case patients discontinued their index medication; and were further matched on age (±5 y), sex, and the number of dispensings of the index medication.
Study flow diagram.
ACEI = angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB = angiotensin II–receptor blocker; MI = myocardial infarction.

Economic Implications of Cleaning Soybeans in the United States
Stay Connected
Agricultural Economic Report No. (AER-737) 50 pp, September 1996
Overall, the costs of delivering cleaner soybeans on a universal basis exceed domestic benefits. The cost of cleaning export soybeans beyond current levels at the least net-cost locations (both river elevators and inland subterminals), at minimum, exceeds domestic benefits by $26 million per year. However, a small percentage of producers could lower soybean foreign material (FM) with no or little additional cost by changing harvesting and handling practices. Most FM originates from the farm. Although soybean cleaning is not common, producers can alter production and harvesting practices to reduce FM, which mainly consists of plant parts, broken beans, weed seed, and dirt. One strategy to address the soybean cleanliness issue is to create incentives for producers to alter production and harvesting practices, such as better weed control and combine adjustment.
Keywords: Soybeans, foreign material (FM), grain quality, cleaning, costs, benefits, premiums, discounts

Late night sketch of some new summer clothes while waiting for sleep. Last night was clear and the sky never darkened beyond a dawn glow (bedroom window faces North). Bats were abroad. No nightinggales though - maybe they're done singing for the year.

Wherever the Yankees' worries with Derek Jeter lay as he prepared to make his first rehab start with the Trenton Thunder tonight, they could breathe easier after the top of the fourth inning. In that stanza, Jeter made back-to-back plays on defense, ranging to his left from his shortstop position.
The first play had Jeter fielding the ball behind the second base bag, spinning, and then nailing the runner at first on an one-hop throw. The next batter had him moving left again, but this time Jeter made a routine play.
Just as important as how he looked in the field was how he felt afterwards.
"I feel good," Jeter said. "There's no problems whatsoever. It's just getting at-bats and playing, but I feel fine."
Jeter led off the game for the Thunder in front of sellout crowd of 9,002, which included standing room at Waterfront Park, pulling a meek ground ball through the left side of the infield. It was his only hit in three plate appearances. He lined out to the first baseman in the second inning, getting robbed of at least a single because of a diving play by the Altoona Curve's Matt Curry.The Yankee captain walked with two outs in the bottom of the fifth before being pulled for a pinch-runner. Jeter finished 1-for-2 with a walk, a run and five assists in the field as the Thunder won, 4-3.
Jeter also went first-to-third in the first inning, advancing on a double and then tagging up on a deep sacrifice fly to center field.
"I was nervous coming in," he said. "I hadn't played in three weeks. There's some nerves. I didn't sleep much last night. But it feels good to get going. You can't duplicate anything that you do in a game. You can try to do it on the field in BP, but until you get into a game and you actually have to move, you won't know until them."
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman also made the trip to Trenton and thought the game went as well as possible, with the tentative plan for Jeter to play the full nine innings Sunday and eventually play his first major-league game since June 13 tomorrow in Cleveland.
"(Jeter) looked great." Cashman said. "He looked better at the plate than we expected, and I thought defensively there was a pretty tough play to make."
With the Yankees going on a hot streak while he was in Tampa, Fla., and now in Trenton, Jeter got a bit restless.
"I did go crazy, a little bit," he said. "It's no fun. I can't sit and watch all of the games. I can see highlights and check in every once in a while. But you get anxious to get back. You want to start moving along as soon as possible. Being on the disabled list I really couldn't force anything."
His first live game in his rehab was met with plenty of excitement.
The Thunder stopped ticket sales for only the second time in their history because seats sold out so quickly, the only other time coming in 2007 when Roger Clemens made a start at Waterfront Park.
Fans came to the stadium hours before the 7:05 p.m. first pitch, some arriving in the early afternoon for a rare local sighting of the Yankee captain. They were obliged as Jeter took batting practice and ran the bases before the game.
And just in case there was any doubt whether Jeter's weekend stay in Trenton would be bedlam, you had to look no further than the flash mob of fans squished into the first few rows alongside the first-base line two hours before the game.
Jeter did his part, taking time to diligently make his way down the line to sign as many pieces of memorabilia and shake as many hands as he could.
"You can't help but be excited," Thunder manager Tony Franklin said. "I've had a chance to be around him the last few years in spring training and I was in New York in 2009, and I'm as interested as anyone else."
The Thunder credentialed 70 media members for the night, forcing the team to create an auxiliary press box. Even the mascots were squeezed as their locker room was turned into the forum for Jeter's news conference.
Still, despite Jeter's desire to fulfill his role as Yankee ambassador and please the frenzied fans, he knew he to find a medium between also getting work done.
"It's fine," Jeter said. "It's almost like a spring training atmosphere because the fans are right on top of you. I think it's a fun atmosphere. I have no problem signing for fans, but you do have to get work in. There is a line, but I enjoy it."

Types of Farmers' Markets on Oahu
On Oahu, there are three types of farmers' markets: HFBF (Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation), POM (People's Open Markets) and independent markets. Don't know what's behind the acronyms?
Here's an introduction.
Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation Markets
It may seem like they've been a fixture on our food scene forever, but the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation (HFBF) founded its first farmers' market in 2002, to help local farmers and showcase diversified agriculture. They got up to speed in time to surf the crest of a national wave of interest in local eating—and they're still riding it. There are now four HFBF markets, the newest of which opened this summer in Waianae.
At an HFBF market, the rules are simple: Everything must start with the aina. These markets sell flowers and food only (no crafts allowed), that must be grown or made on Hawaiian soil. All but one of the markets take place on the weekend. With high-quality products, pleasant locations, carefully chosen vendors, plenty of grab-and-go food, and live music, they're a recipe for a good time.
People's Open Markets
Founded in 1973, People's Open Markets are a city and county institution. Though short on razzle-dazzle, POMs have virtues of the quieter kind: They're friendly, unpretentious and pleasantly sane, and they exist for their communities. Most of all, they're inexpensive. POMs are sponsored by the city: By mandate, all produce sold at POMs must cost at least 35 percent less than it would at retail (and often much less), at levels refigured each week by the POM staff.
POMs are farmers' markets in the purest sense; vendors sell only unprocessed produce and seafood. Most, but not all, of the produce is locally grown and of high quality (two vendors are allowed to sell some Mainland-sourced overstock, which tends to be in less-than-perfect condition and is priced accordingly). When in doubt, ask.
Over the course of a week, 25 of these brief markets, which can vary in size from a few dozen customers to more than 2,000, bloom and vanish in communities across the city. Market schedules can be awkward for the nine-to-five crowd, but many of the POMs take place before work and on weekends, or coincide with lunch hour in a working district.
Independent Markets
Privately operated farmers' markets vary widely in their missions, rules and execution, but the best offer some of Hawaii's most interesting and memorable farmers' market experiences. Some independent markets have Web sites you can visit for more information.
Farmers' Market Tips
CHANGE IS GOOD. Vendors always welcome small bills and/or correct change, particularly at the beginning of a market.
GET THERE EARLY, especially if you want the market's choicest goods. The most popular vendors may sell out and pack up long before the market's official end.
BRING A BAG. A sturdy shopping bag or market basket mean that vendors won't have to swathe your veggies in planet-busting plastic.
BRING A COOLER for anything fresh or cold, so you don't have to rush home.
TALK STORY. If they have time, farmers are usually happy to tell you all about the produce you're about to buy, when it's in season, how to cook it, and what else you can expect through the year.
EXPAND YOUR REPERTOIRE. Why stick to the old zucchini, tomato, corn rotation? Ask how to prepare an unfamiliar fruit or vegetable, and let it change the way you eat.
SEIZE THE DAY. If you see something you like, enjoy it while you can. What's available changes with the seasons, and every time you go back, there will be something different.
