A Coherent Systems View of Wireless and Cellular Network Design and Implementation
Written for senior-level undergraduates, first-year graduate students, and junior technical professionals, Introduction to Wireless Systems offers a coherent systems view of the crucial lower layers of today's cellular systems. The authors introduce today's most important propagation issues, modulation techniques, and access schemes, illuminating theory with real-world examples from modern cellular systems. They demonstrate how elements within today's wireless systems interrelate, clarify the trade-offs associated with delivering high-quality service at acceptable cost, and demonstrate how systems are designed and implemented by teams of complementary specialists.
Coverage includes
- Understanding the challenge of moving information wirelessly between two points
- Explaining how system and subsystem designers work together to analyze, plan, and implement optimized wireless systems
- Designing for quality reception: using the free-space range equation, and accounting for thermal noise
- Understanding terrestrial channels and their impairments, including shadowing and multipath reception
- Reusing frequencies to provide service over wide areas to large subscriber bases
- Using modulation: frequency efficiency, power efficiency, BER, bandwidth, adjacent-channel interference, and spread-spectrum modulation
- Implementing multiple access methods, including FDMA, TDMA, and CDMA
- Designing systems for today's most common forms of traffic—both "bursty" and "streaming"
- Maximizing capacity via linear predictive coding and other speech compression techniques
- Setting up connections that support reliable communication among users
Introduction to Wireless Systems brings together the theoretical and practical knowledge readers need to participate effectively in the planning, design, or implementation of virtually any wireless system.

Are you a senior undergraduate student in electrical or computer engineering with a systems-engineering perspective on the design and analysis of a wireless communication system? If you are, then this book is for you! Authors Bruce A. Black, Philip S. DiPiazza, Bruce A. Ferguson , David R. Voltmer and Frederick C. Berry, have done an outstanding job of writing a book that focuses on cellular telephone systems. Authors Black, DiPiazza, Ferguson, Voltmer and Berry, begin by discussing systems-engineering. Then, the authors cover the free-space range equation and thermal noise. The authors also introduce you to the terrestrial channel and its impairments, including the effects of shadowing and multipath reception. They continue by covering the principle of frequency reuse and the resulting cellular system structure. Then, the authors delve more deeply into spread-spectrum modulation, emphasizing the ability of spread-spectrum systems to provide robust communication in the presence of narrowband interference and frequency-selective fading. They then introduce methods for multiple access, including FDMA, TDMA, and an introduction to CDMA. Finally, the authors also distinguish streamlining from bursty information streams. This most excellent book has been written to support a one-term senior elective course. Nevertheless, this book is limited to what cellular systems engineers call the air interface and what network engineers call the physical layer.

Amanda's View: Party
By Amanda Knox
Last week Chris and I threw a housewarming party. It used to be that a couple didn't move in together until they were married and ready to start a family. In the 1950s, my Oma lived in an all-female dormitory, and only came into contact with men her age at specially organized dances, like the one where she met my Opa. Social norms loosened up significantly by the 1980s, but my mom was still living with her sister prior to getting married and moving in with my dad.
Back then, a housewarming party was like a baby shower. It was expected that the new couple needed furnishings and housewares. Furthermore, it used to be much more common that couples settled into their new homes for the long run. Even if they couldn't afford to buy their house yet, they were investing themselves in a community. They could expect that their future kids would be riding bikes and building forts with the other kids on the block.
Amanda's View: Ritual
By Amanda Knox
At 29, I'm fortunate to have not yet lost very many loved ones. To date: two grandparents, a great aunt, a cousin, an uncle, and a family friend. Having just returned from the funeral of one of those grandparents, I realize that I still haven't fully wrapped my mind around the end of a life. I feel confused, and conflicted when taking part in the funeral rites which are as much concerned with respecting the dead as with reconciling the living with the general idea of death itself. It makes me wonder about what my own death will mean to the people who love me, how I would prefer that manifest itself, and whether my preference even matters.
Amanda's View: At the intersection of normalcy and public-figure-hood
By Amanda Knox
Back in 2007, it seemed only people like me were using social media. College students. We were staying in touch with our friends from high school. We were finding out who was taking Math 221 with us next quarter. We were organizing study groups and house parties. We were socializing in a whole new environment catered to just us barely-adults. Real adults didn't have Facebook profiles. Real adults had resumes. Social media was where we defined ourselves. It was the clubhouse where Mom and Dad weren't allowed, where kids could be kids.

Football Announces Roster Additions
Ball State's third-year head football coach Pete Lembo has announced the addition of three players to the team.
P.J. Scott, who signed a national letter of intent in February, spent the 2011-12 seasons at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M Junior College. Tracy Key joins the team after two seasons at the College of DuPage. Gilbert Stlouis will be in his first season at Ball State after two years at Connecticut and sitting out the 2012 season.
"We are pleased to welcome these new players to the football program and to the university community," Lembo says. "P.J. had a great official visit back in January and was part of this most recent signing class. He should fit in well with our current group of offensive linemen. Tracy and Gilbert are more recent additions that should bring more competition and depth to our defense. There will be a lot of competition for playing time during preseason camp. Fortunately, all three of these young men have the benefit of the summer months to get acclimated to life at Ball State and to build relationships with their new teammates."
Scott, a 6-foot-2, 295-lb., offensive lineman, played two seasons at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M Junior College and started 21 games in two seasons. He was selected to the National Junior College Athletic Association All-America Second Team in 2012. Scott helped the team to the Southwest Junior College Football Conference Championship in 2012 with a 5-1 record and was named all-conference in his second season. Scott earned four letters in football for Coach Larry Crenshaw at Morris H.S. and helped the team to a 7-5 overall record and a 4-2 conference mark as a senior. He helped the Eagles to a 28-18 mark in career and was selected Oklahoma Coaches Association All-State as a senior.
Key, a 6-foot-2, 232-lb., defensive lineman, spent the 2011 and 2012 seasons at the College of DuPage. He helped the team to a 9-2 record in his second year and a 16-4 mark in two seasons. Key was named to the All-Iowa Community College Conference team in his second season after receiving honorable mention in 2011. He tallied 51 tackles, 13.5 sacks, six forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in his career. A team captain as a senior, Key was named his team's Most Improved Player in 2012. Key earned three letters in football for Coach Bill Mosell at Thornton Township High School. He helped the team to a 9-3 mark as a senior, including a 6-2 record in the South Suburban League. An all-conference selection as a senior, Key managed 55 tackles, five sacks and three forced fumbles in his final season. He tallied 95 tackles, eight sacks and five forced fumbles in his career. Key was his team's team captain as a senior.
Stlouis, a 5-foot-11, 194-lb., defensive back, spent the 2010 and 2011 seasons at the University of Connecticut before sitting out the 2012 season as a student at Broward Community College. He played in six games for the Huskies in 2010 and seven contests in 2011. A native of David, Fla., Stlouis played for Coach Steve Davis at Plantation High School before graduating in 2010. He was selected to compete in the Hawaii/Polynesia-Mainland Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii, as a senior. Stlouis helped Plantation to an 8-3 record as a senior and was an all-conference first team selection in 2009. A team captain as a senior, Stlouis led the team with 15 pass breakups.

HARPERS FERRY - In what dignitaries called a victory for historical preservation and the American people, the Civil War Preservation Trust donated 176 acres of battlefield land on historic School House Ridge Thursday to the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
The transfer ceremony was among a series of daylong events commemorating the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War and and the upcoming anniversary of John Brown's October 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry.
"I bring you greetings on behalf of the American people, because what you have done here in Harpers Ferry and what you continue to do is not only to ensure that the story is told and that this park is perpetuated, but this will indeed (remain) for future generations," said Robert G. Stanton, former director of the National Park Service and current deputy assistant secretary for policy, management and budget with the Department of the Interior.

The Civil War Preservation Trust purchased the property in 2002 as part of a larger parcel totaling 232 acres. Private donations of $411,000 were matched with federal and state grants to complete the $1.7 million transaction. After acquiring the the property, 56 acres previously were sold to the National Park Service for $420,000. The remaining acreage was donated Thursday as a gift to the federal government.
"I can tell you right now, today is what we are all about," CWPT President James Lighthizer said. "Today is about celebrating 232 acres, and it's about giving it to a steward that was designed and built to take care of this - the National Park Service."
The land that was donated Thursday was part of a three-day battle in Harpers Ferry that culminated with the largest mass surrender of U.S. troops until World War II.
"Thanks to the good, hardworking efforts of our partners in the Civil War Preservation Trust who have purchased so much of the land that is out here, we now have as preserved battlefield," said Dennis Frye, chief historian for the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.
He said many visitors don't know that the area is part of the park. In the distance directly behind those who gathered Thursday was Bolivar Heights, where the principle Union line of 14,000 soldiers was amassed to defend Harpers Ferry during the 1862 battle. Confederate Gen. Stonewall Jackson and 15,000 rebel troops first arrived in the area on the battlefield land that was transferred Thursday.
"You are on part of the ground over which part of the Confederate army unbelievably attacked in attempt to take the position on the high ground behind you," Frye said.
Until a few years ago, the battlefield land was all private property, and the only part of the battlefield that the park had preserved was the small section on Bolivar Heights. With Jefferson County's growing population, some worried that the area was destined for development if it wasn't preserved.
Frye said having property adjacent to a national park would be a developer's and a homeowner's dream.
"But this is battlefield land. People fought here (and) died here," Frye said. "The consequence of their efforts changed the course of American history."
Among those who fought to have the land preserved was Scot Faulkner, president and founder of the Friends of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. Faulkner actually lives on part of the battlefield on Bolivar Heights, and he previously donated part of his property to the Park Service.
"Today is a great day for celebration. We don't have that many victories in preservation around the country," he said. "Today is about celebrating victory - the realization instead of having pavement and particle board surrounding us, we have a portal into the past."

A S-MASHING time is on the offing for Ryedale Special Families' Enormous Lunch next month.
And to make sure the week-long event cooks up a storm, the charity is aiming to "link" in with as many catering venues as possible for its special Bangers & Mash menu.
Supporters are now aiming to get hotels, pubs, restaurants and cafes throughout Ryedale to offer their own version of "Bangers & Mash" from November 26 to December 2 - with a donation of £1 per meal being made to the charity.
Rob Davies, funding co-ordinator for Ryedale Special Families, said: "For the past three years we've benefitted quite significantly from the "Enormous Lunch" idea. This year we decided to do something a little different and Robert Wormall, of the Talbot Hotel, came up with this simple but brilliant concept.
"The on-going services which we provide for over 450 Ryedale families relies heavily on the generous support we receive from local people and it's important to us that we ring the changes from time to time and also create something that is fun and that everyone can enjoy.
"We've sounded out a few venues this week and already have seven who have offered to get involved so we're hugely optimistic that the idea will catch on."
Alice Naylor-Leyland, honorary patron of the charity, added: "It's a simple yet fun and different idea and if we can persuade lots of different venues to come on board then we should raise a significant sum."
Venues already on board include the Cresswell Arms, Appleton le Street; the Moors Inn, Appleton le Moors; the Feathers in Helmsley; the Ashfield Country Manor Hotel, Kirby Misperton; and The Talbot Hotel, the Old Lodge Hotel and The Yard in Malton
Malton Relish will also incorporate the idea into one of its monthly supper evenings.
Anyone willing to get involved is asked to contact Rob on (01653) 699000 or firstname.lastname@example.com

Our Stories: A family reunion in the Netherlands
A group of MyHeritage users from Holland and Canada met for the first time in Haarlem, Netherlands, in May.
Joining them was our Netherlands country manager Denie Kasan, who documented their reunion at the North Holland Archives in Haarlem. Following is a translation based on his original post.
Last week in the North Holland Archives, a special family reunion took place.
In honor of their Canadian relative Gordon Benedict, MyHeritage user Elly Groot organized the event to meet him for the first time.
The day began with introductions and snacks. Gordon was pleasantly surprised by the local treats and souvenirs.
Elly invited Gordon to share his story, talk about his family, and how he discovered his new Dutch relatives.
While studying in the Netherlands, Gordon became interested in finding out more about his family background, and visited his grandmother to ask questions.
After returning home, his curiosity got the better of him, and he wanted to learn even more about his family heritage. After searching on Google, he found MyHeritage and signed up to begin his search.
After entering the information that he knew, Gordon began to receive Smart Matches, which led to family tree connections with other users, including André Been and Elly Groot. He met André and Elly for the first time at the reunion.
"You start with a simple question about one Tjeerd Raatsveld and, before you know it, you are already back 20 years," said Gordon.
Through genealogical research, Gordon discovered more about his Dutch family and Holland, in general.
Gordon also gave a photo presentation about his childhood and growing up in Canada, in addition to sharing how he discovered his family.
He said that he really enjoyed his visit to the Netherlands to meet his distant relatives and to enrich his family connections.
We love to hear about MyHeritage members finding distant relatives from around the world.
Have you found any family members that live across the globe? What have you recently discovered about your family history?
Let us know in the comments below.
Search for your ancestors:
- Although I knew of my relatives in The Netherlands, I too, returned to re-connect with long-lost cousins, uncles and aunts. Its really great to have that connection and walk around the old buildings where my grandmother (Oma) was born, and, although gone now, the farmstead where my father and all his siblings grew up. It was fantastic hearing stories about my mother and father when they were younger and still dating. (although some stories were told with a wink!)

Follow our 125 years in Erie History: 1899 - Erie turns a page
A NEW LIBRARY: More than 2,000 people turned out for the choral performances, speeches and ceremony that accompanied the dedication of Erie's public library on Feb. 16, 1899. Industrialist Andrew Carnegie sent his congratulations, along with $5,000 for the library's general fund. Benjamin Whitman, president of the library board of trustees, spoke eloquently of the new library, "a library building that should be an ornament to the city, a source of public pride, and a blessing not only to the men, women and children of today, but to the generations that are to come."
Work began four years prior on the stylish building, a combination of Beaux Arts Classicism and Second Renaissance Revival architecture. The library opened with about 10,000 volumes on its shelves, and its walls were adorned with paintings by American artists of the day. To this day, the stately old library, now part of the federal courthouse complex, still overlooks Perry Square.
ALSO IN 1899: The first 850 cords of Canadian hardwood arrived at Hammermill Paper Co.'s Holland Street docks. The company had been founded a year earlier by Moritz Behrend and his sons, Ernst Behrend and Dr. Otto Behrend.

A while ago at a flea market I discovered several old and very worn linen towels and pillow cases with gorgeous crochet edgings. Such a rare and lucky find! I'm always on the look-out for crochet lace and edgings, because for me vintage patterns are uniquely beautiful, and when I come across one I work out the original pattern, thus rescuing a piece of crochet history.
I love lace, I love crocheting, I can't resist trying a new pattern, and I particularly adore crocheting new patterns for lacy edgings (like this and this). And although I'd be very happy just crocheting away meter after meter of edgings for the sheer pleasure of it, I always end up making something useful out of them. One of my favorite gifts to give are towels with handmade crochet edgings (like these). Towels are always useful, and pretty towels are a real pleasure. The linen vintage towels I bought are quite worn, a sure a sign that they brought pleasure and beauty to someone's house for a long time.
I'd like these vintage edgings to continue bringing beauty and pleasure to many peoples' homes. So, to launch a more ambitious project, I've made a pdf file with a crochet chart and instructions on how to remake the edging in the above photo. I'm sharing these with anyone who's interested.
I've added a navigation bar under my banner; if you'd like to receive my PDF file just click the free crochet pattern link.

The decision to attempt to drown out the fans' concerns in the aftermath of the Spurs defeat by playing some 'white noise' Rihanna track over the Ewood PA system is indicative of the contempt shown by the powers that be for the Rovers' supporters. I don't believe the blame can be placed at the door of Radio Rovers Gerald Jackson but whoever believed it to be in the best interests of club, scored a massive own goal.
Rover's supporters were magnificent throughout the afternoon and got behind a side which was low on confidence but 'spurred' them on to produce their best display of the season. Many of the protesters were the very same people who gave such tremendous, positive vocal backing throughout the 90 minutes. It was only on the final whistle that these fans reserved the right to let their feelings be heard about the bigger picture at the club.
Were there any positives to take from our trip to Shepherds Bush on Saturday? Apart from the novelty aspect of a trip to the 'subbuteo stadium' for the first time in a number of seasons, not many. I remember the last couple of occasions we played at Loftus Road when Fulham were the tenants due to Craven Cottage being 'redeveloped' (if that actually did occur), on both visits we scored four goals respectively. Those were the days!
The hard truth is, the game on Saturday was there for the taking. These were two pitifully poor sides who appeared quite content to settle to share the spoils from the moment Chris Samba's header hit the back of the net with only a quarter of the game gone. At one stage it seemed as if both sets of players could not distinguish which side was wearing what coloured shirt. Passes were going astray and set pieces were finding touch more regularly than in the egg chasing World Cup in the Southern Hemisphere.
The character of Baldrick from Blackadder is popularly associated with the comedic catch phrase "I have a cunning plan." The "cunning plans" in question are dreamed up by Baldrick as a solution to a particular problem or crisis and are usually ridiculed scathingly by Blackadder on account of their implausibility, but Blackadder frequently resorts to using these plans when the situation becomes desperate. Sound familiar?
Venky's have said they are putting together an action plan which they hope to see Rovers out of its current crisis. Venkatesh Rao said he had "..spoken with Steve Kean and we are working on our weak points." After Saturday's tragicomedy, we all know just where our weak point lies! I'm afraid that the doomsday clock has hit midnight for Steve Kean.

'Celebrate Heritage' Event Raises More Than $240,000 for FAU's Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education
BOCA RATON, FL (March 19, 2012) – The Friends of the Center for Holocaust and Human Rights Education (CHHRE) at Florida Atlantic University recently hosted the "Celebrate Heritage: Cocktails, Hors d'oeuvres, Music, Live Auction and Fine Jewelry" event to benefit the Center. More than 150 guests attended the event, which took place at the Eleanor R. Baldwin House on FAU's Boca Raton campus.
Marilyn Simon Weinberg, Elyssa Kupferberg, Marci Langley and Marianne Lerner served as co-chairs of the event, which raised more than $240,000. Proceeds will benefit the Center's educational programs in the Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Indian River, Glades and Okeechobee County School Districts.
"As a volunteer to this effort, I can find no greater need in our community than to sustain the important work of the Center in training over 350 teachers and 10,000-plus students annually here in our local community to diminish prejudice and hatred," said Weinberg. "We need to continue to broaden our fundraising outreach to those who believe in the need to combat bigotry and hatred to create a better world for people of all races, religions and cultures to enjoy."
The event included an exciting live auction by auctioneer Jack Fox; a silent auction; a Men's Corner; and opportunities to purchase items such as French-designed jewelry by Isabelle Krupnik, summer furs by Saks Fifth Avenue, watches by Jewels in Time, handbags and accessories by Regency Collection, designer jewelry by Vivid Diamonds, fine elegant jewelry by M&M Jewelers, as well as art by Robert Simon. Additional vendor supporters included Reid Travel, Capital Grille, Habatat Galleries, National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia and Wesley T. Sheperd the Jeweler. All vendors donated a portion of their sales to the Center.
The Friends of the CHHRE is a group of individuals dedicated to raising funds to ensure the continued operation of the Center. The CHHRE has relied on private funding to sustain its programs and operation since 2008, when public funding was discontinued because of budget cuts. "Celebrate Heritage" is the third annual fundraising event for the Center. The 2010 event raised $60,000 and the 2011 event raised $100,000 toward the CHHRE's annual budget of $200,000.
"We are truly grateful to the 'Celebrate Heritage' committee and its outstanding leadership team for helping to raise funds for the Center," said Rose Gatens, Ph.D., director of the CHHRE. "It is so encouraging to know that the support of all those who participated in this event enables us to continue providing Holocaust and genocide education of the highest quality in South Florida for yet another year."

Jeremy London's family can no longer remain silent.
They've watched with increasing concern and frustration as the bizarre police case in Palm Springs, Calif., has unfolded – with claims the Party of Five star was allegedly kidnapped and forced to take drugs.
They think there may be another explanation.
"We love Jeremy, we only have his best interests at heart," his twin brother Jason London, 37, also an actor, tells PEOPLE. "We feel he needs serious psychological help and drug treatment as soon as possible."
After reaching stardom on the hit show, Jeremy has endured a series of struggles that he has not denied. He recently told PEOPLE about his fight to stay sober, his bitter custody battle with his ex-wife Melissa over son, Lyric, 3, and his widespread financial troubles.
Now his family fears he's hit another low point.
"Jeremy's behavior right now is indicative of whenever he's back on drugs," brother Jason says. "The fact that he's lashing out against his own family and has shut us out is just one more sign of how sick he really is."
Jeremy insists his story is true – and police so far believe him, arresting a 26-year-old man on kidnapping and other charges. In a video statement to RadarOnline, Jeremy vented his anger at his mother and brother for openly questioning the validity of his abduction and for spreading "outrageous lies" about him, and has legally threatened his family not to speak to the press.
His family reacts with sadness and frustration.
"It's absolutely false that we're telling lies about Jeremy," Jason says. "We would never do anything to hurt him. But Jeremy and Melissa's story of the kidnapping just doesn't add up. None of it makes any sense. Mainly, why didn't Melissa call the police if Jeremy went missing with these strange men until 2 a.m.?"
His brother adds: "For years we've been worried sick about getting a phone call telling us that Jeremy's been found dead. For months, Jeremy has cut off his whole family and he refuses to talk to us. We're desperate for anyone to get him help and that's why we're speaking out."

Alumni from Department of Educational Leadership at The University of Texas-Pan American College of Education enjoyed a night filled with memories, smiles and inspirational speeches October 10 during the 75th anniversary alumni reunion at the UTPA Ballroom.
"Tonight we are celebrating as part of UTPA's 75th anniversary. We are celebrating and honoring the alumni that have come through the Department of Educational Leadership," said Dr. Velma Menchaca, chair of the department. "The turn out for this event has been great. A lot of people responded that wanted to be part of this reunion and this celebration."
Dr. Jimmy Williamson, from Baylor University and former chair of the department, spoke about the College of Education's humble beginnings and the long line of eager students waiting to register when the college opened.
"At the first registration there were 400 people who showed up and we only offered about 10 classes. We didn't know what to do with all of them," Williamson said.
Dr. Martha May Tevis - chair of the UTPA 75th Anniversary Committee - spoke about the 75 years of opportunities and growth at UTPA, and introduced The University of Texas-Pan American 75th Anniversary Video produced by Omar Cantu and Nick Taylor of Technology Resources.
Robert Estrada, Board of Regents member for the University of Texas System, also addressed the crowd. A prominent attorney, business entrepreneur and civic leader, Estrada congratulated the educators for tapping into the minds of students and creating the next valuable resource for Texas.
Plans for the new College of Education Building were also shared during the dinner, and blue prints for the $22 million educational facility were on display.
The Most Distinguished Alumnus was presented to Education Commissioner Dr. Felipe Alanis, who was not able to attend. Dr. Roberto Zamora, superintendent of La Joya I.S.D., received the award on his behalf.

Body and Brain Exercises Review
Ultimately there's not a whole lot to it, but if you can ignore the odd Kinect upset there's a competent brain training experience for those willing to embrace it.
It's true, you know, Dr Kawashima is a real life doctor person - a neuroscientist, no less. Not knowing much about the man who single-handedly put games consoles into the wrinkly hands of pensioners, I decided to do a little sleuth work. Graduating with a MD in medicine back in the seventies, Ryuta Kawashima has a long and celebrated history in neurophysiology and expertise in brain imaging.
Therefore, I trust his hypothesis that movement enhances brain activity, and that partaking in arithmetic, logic and memory activities is more beneficial when combined with physical exertion. Brain Training mixed with Kinect is therefore a match made in heaven; a mini-game collection that stimulates both mind and body whilst offering improved visuals and multiplayer features. If consumers take to this like they did with Nintendo's DS version then we could have a Kinect-idemic on our hands.
According to Kawashima and his light-bulb shaped apprentice Wattson (ha!), I have a Brain Age of fifty. As a twenty-three year old this was understandably distressing, but as this was only my first official test I didn't take it to heart. As with its DS sibling, the first time you play the good doctor will throw three random challenges your way and grade your performance accordingly. He'll then structure subsequent daily challenges around your strengths and weaknesses, offering recommended activities each day. The idea is then to 'train' your brain, flexing your grey matter for future tests and then watching in awe as your mental age plummets. It's a game that incites the need for regular play, which is hammered home by the fact your grandparents are still playing the DS version five years down the line.
To get your brain into young and supple shape Kawashima is after, you'll need to exercise your noggin in several key areas: math, reflex, logic, memory and physical. As the title of the game suggests, each of the challenges are grounded in physical activity, which the Doc insists gives your brain a better workout. Addition is combined with a penalty shoot-out, for example, where you're tasked with booting the correctly numbered ball to complete an equation. Or you'll convert digital times into analogue using your arms as the clock hands. In other challenges you'll mimic the mathematical more than (>) and less than (<) symbols to compare increasingly complex expressions, whilst elsewhere your limbs become the bridges transporting red, blue and yellow vehicles to their colour corresponding roads.
Other activities swap mental gymnastics for quick reactions and coordination. One particularity entertaining game finds you guiding Pac-Man and Pooka out of the path of those pesky ghosts. With your right hand controlling Pac-Man, and left hand controlling Pooka, the idea is to coordinate both sides of your brain into keeping the pair safe. The familiar Pacman jingle that precedes each game will be particularly entertaining for fans of Namco's little yellow mascot.

March for Elephants in the US
One of our Kenyan conservation heroes, Jim Nyamu, will be traveling to the U.S. to lead a march from Boston to Washington, DC to create awareness about the plight of Africa's elephants.
The march will start on September 3 and Jim will be speaking at several venues along the way. Jim, who heads an NGO called Elephant Neighbors, has already walked hundreds of miles for elephants in Kenya. He has a commitment and passion that are remarkable.
We [elephanttrust.org] would like to ask you to support Jim on his long march. One thing you can do is join him on part of the march. He is also looking for people to host him along his way, and any financial assistance would be welcome as well. Walking long distances can be very lonely, especially in a foreigh land, so if you can help him feel welcome and at home, that would be appreciated.

Amarillo native Ryan Palmer shot 2-over 73 on Thursday in the opening round of the BMW Championship at the Cog Hill Golf and Country Club in Lamont, Ill., the third of four events in this year's FedEx Cup playoffs.
Palmer began the tournament in 13th place in the FexEx Cup standings and needs to finish among the top 30 following Sunday's final round to move on to The Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta, Ga. in two weeks.
Matt Kuchar, who is No. 1 in the FedEx Cup standings, shot 7-under 64 to take a one-shot lead over Ryan Moore.
Palmer, who ranks 15th on this year's PGA Tour money list with $2,651,611, started at No. 10 in the first round and he made birdies at 15 and 16, offset by bogeys at 14, 18, 1 and 8.
In the first two FedEx Cup events, Palmer, who attended Amarillo High, finished in a tie for fifth two weeks ago at The Barclays and in a tie for 11th at the Deutsche Bank Championship last week.

Rachel Getting Married is a terse, smart, funny and tough family drama about forgiveness and failure written by Jenny Lumet; it's also a loose, smart, broad and bright film about family and love directed by Jonathan Demme. When these two things are in sync, the end result is something truly impressive – a moving story that appeals to your heart and soul without insulting your intelligence, a film full of big scenes that never stoops to the most obvious possible iteration of those big scenes, a movie loaded with great and sincere performances from the top down. When the two parts of Rachel Getting Married fall out of synch – as they do, most notably, in the last third of the film during Demme's raucous, joyous post-wedding reception – it's less catastrophic than it is curious, and the final film is still very much worth watching.
Rachel (Rosemarie DeWitt) is getting married; her little sister Kym (Anne Hathaway) is coming for the big event ... which involves getting picked up from her most recent stay at a rehab clinic. A cynic could look at Hathaway's part in Rachel Getting Married and paraphrase Robert Downey Jr. in Tropic Thunder: Always go full rehab. And while it's true that the Academy and critics tend to reward gritty, hyperbolic portraits of drug-addiction's misery, the fact is that Hathaway's Kym is not quite as simple as that. Kym knows all the things she's done wrong; she also knows she'll keep doing some of them. Immediately, in the car, the lines of battle are drawn, with Kym going on the offense as part of her defense mechanisms, asking her dad (Bill Irwin) and step-mother (Anna Deavere Smith) about how Rachel's holding up: "Are all of her latent food issues coming up? Is she still hoarding Snickers and Cool Whip under the bed?" Soon, Kym's plunged into the thick of the preparations for Rachel's wedding, responding to the chaos by adding to it. ... Shot with hand-held cameras, Rachel Getting Married brings us into the heart of a family, but, to screenwriter Lumet's credit, never over-explains itself or says everything out loud. In the rehearsal dinner, Kym offers a toast to Rachel and her fiancée Sydney (Tunde Adebimpe) that starts as an attention-begging bit of showboating ("I'm Shiva the destroyer, and I am your harbinger of doom for the evening ...") and continues as Kym flays herself to the bone in front of the crowd, her self-serving self-loathing punctuated by asides of nervous laughter as if she were terrified of silence. Hathaway may be best-known for her porcelain good looks, but here she digs in to a character, hard enough to show bruises, and she does not make Kym 'sympathetic' so much as she builds Kym into a person who earns our sympathy.
But Rachel Getting Married is hardly a one-woman show; Bill Irwin has a few great moments as Kym and Rachel's father; DeWitt manages to capture both sibling rivalry and sisterly compassion, petty jealousy and rough-hewn forgiveness; as Kym's mother, Debra Winger, much like Mary Tyler Moore in Ordinary People, plays a person both cut off from her feelings and captured in the grip of them. On the groom's side, Adabimpe is stalwart as Sidney, while Mather Zickel gives a funny, charming, loose performance as best man Kieran, who has more in common with Kym than just a big role in the ceremony.
Lumet's script is, perhaps, the best thing about Rachel Getting Married; many things are left unsaid, many things are unexplained, and many things are said and explained through the natural ebb and flow of the conversation. Lumet has an ear for dialogue, but she also has an eye for detail, like when Kym steps into "her" room at the family's house; it's preserved as if in amber, still and airless and perfect and dead. Lumet also captures the jumbled, joyous chaos of a modern wedding -- the weird mix of territorial squabbles over everything from seating charts to roles in the bridal party and warm, loving, celebration. And as we go from rehearsal to reception, difficulty to disaster, we learn how much Kym truly has to atone for, and Hathaway, Demme and Lumet bring to life someone who has, through her own fault, earned a crushing sorrow that she will feel every day of her life: Kym notes, of her gravest error, how "I can live with it, but I can't forgive myself ..."; Hathaway makes us believe it. At the same time, Rachel Getting Married is very funny -- from quick-cut gags to smart character-driven asides to a character's explosion of annoyance late in the film that may echo the audience's feelings about one of the film's devices.
Director Demme has spent the past few years making glossy entertainments (The Trouble with Charlie, The Manchurian Candidate) and digital documentaries (Jimmy Carter: Man from Plains, Neil Young: Heart of Gold). Rachel Getting Married offers him a chance to get back to his roots while still displaying all the talent and craft that moved him forward; the decision to shoot the film, in his words, "like the most beautiful home movie ever made," does a lot to help build the intimate, inside mood of the film. If one thing seems at odds with the small-scale, carefully-crafted tone of Lumet's script, it's the excess and enthusiasm that Demme brings to the closing reception scenes.
I can accept that Rachel and Sidney's wedding is full of talented friends and, thanks to Sidney's career in the industry, live music; when Robyn Hitchcock and Sister Carol perform at the reception, I found myself distracted, Demme's desire to include his talented friends undercutting the talent he had shown in telling the story. Even with that minor moment of excessive exuberance -- and, really, who among us hasn't been inspired to an excess of exuberance at a wedding? -- Rachel Getting Married is a rich, real and smart drama, one that doesn't just mark the arrival of an exciting new screenwriter; Rachel Getting Married may wind up being the film that took Anne Hathaway from being a name-brand movie star to being recognized as a talented, committed and gifted actress.

Redskins' Griffin: I can run
WASHINGTON — Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III insisted Wednesday his knee is fine, brushing off questions about his health from outside observers and remarks this week from his top wide receiver, who said a knee brace and lack of preseason playing time were affecting Griffin's performance. Griffin also declared he is willing and able to run the ball as often as necessary to spark his 0-2 team.
Playing in the past two weeks for the first time since tearing ligaments in his right knee Jan. 6, Griffin hasn't looked like the electrifying player who dazzled with his arm and legs as a rookie. His struggles have come primarily in the first halves of his first two games, when his offense has been outscored 50-0. In the two first halves, Griffin has posted paltry numbers, completing 11 passes on 24 attempts for 160 yards and two interceptions. Meanwhile, he has run the ball only nine times and has averaged just 2.8 yards per carry.
Former Super Bowl-winning coach Tony Dungy said Sunday he didn't think Griffin was fully healthy and that he believed backup Kirk Cousins should take his place in the lineup for the time being.
Then during a radio interview Tuesday, wide receiver Pierre Garcon said he believed Griffin's bulky knee brace was slowing the quarterback down. On Wednesday, Garcon held firm in his stance and added that Griffin probably would have benefited from preseason snaps to help him knock off the rust.
Discussing Griffin's knee, Garcon said, "We obviously know the elephant's in the room. We already know what it is. But we just have to continue to deal with that and continue to play. It's not something that can be avoided. It's going to be talked about all year no matter what we do, no matter if we win or lose. It's going to be talked about. So we just have to continue to play and play for our jobs."
Meanwhile, Griffin's most senior wide receiver said patience remains crucial.
"He just got back to playing, man," said Santana Moss, a 13th-year veteran. "I mean, this is only like his second preseason game. You're gonna go out there and run him crazy? To me, that's how I look at it. These first two regular season games are just being two preseason games for this kid. You're not gonna go out there and make him do a bunch of stuff that, you know, you're not sure of. Once he gets his feeling back and, I think, the coaches confident with him doing all that stuff, then I'm pretty sure they'll let him do more.
"But right now I don't think that's what we need to do to win games," Moss added. "We have it in there. We have called it. But if they're keying on him, then he's not going to run the ball. And that's what teams are doing. Teams are gonna come and key on him. So you'll see him hand the ball off. And I'm glad he's doing that because we don't need that right now. We just need to do what we know how to do, and that's make plays, and we'll be able to try to win these games."
Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan chuckled when asked about Garcon's stance.
"I don't know if anybody remembers, but Dr. James Andrews said that there was no way he could play during the preseason. Does anybody remember that? We have to go back to this? Andrews said he could not play during the preseason. There was no chance for him to play."
Later the same day, holding his usual midweek press conference, Griffin dismissed both claims.
"It doesn't do anything for me," Griffin said in response to the opinion that Cousins should replace him for the time being. "People outside of here don't know what we go through every day on this team, and it's like what we said after the game amongst ourselves. If they're not for us, they're against us, and we don't have to worry about what they say or worry about what they want us to do."
Responding to Garcon's stance, Griffin nonchalantly said, "I love Pierre. If he wants to race, I'm more than willing to do that. Pierre's going to be Pierre. I can't do anything about what he says."
He later added, "The knee brace is going to protect you, but I've gotten out of stuff this season just like I did last season when the pocket breaks down, and I don't feel like it's holding me back."
Griffin didn't deny he hasn't played up to the standard he set last season. But not all of the struggles can be traced to the quarterback's play, Griffin, Shanahan and his teammates insist.
The Redskins own the NFL's second-lowest success rate on third downs (23.8 percent, 5 for 21), and the defense has given up 71 points and 1,023 yards.
Just weeks after they entered the season as one of the favorites in the NFC East, the Redskins look like a shell of themselves and are one of two playoff teams from last season that do not yet have a win. (The Minnesota Vikings are the other). Now they face slim odds to make the playoffs; no team since 2008 has reached the postseason after opening 0-2.
But Griffin insists the criticism hasn't fazed him.
"People are going to pat you on the back and tell you how great you are, and when things turn south, people's true colors come out," he said. "For us, it's just getting back to that grit. We run the ball, and we stop the run. That's two things this team has always done, and this first two games, we haven't done either of those very well or even had the chance to run the ball on offense because we've fallen behind so quickly. So I think that's where we have to get our swagger back. Guys have to play free. We know our assignments. We know what we have to do. It's about going out there and doing it."
And just how can the Redskins get their swagger back?
"I can run more," Griffin offered. "That's fine. I'll do whatever we have to do to win the game. That's always been my mind-set. I'm the quarterback, and if I have to create that energy, if I have to spit a rap line in the huddle, sure, whatever. I'll do it. Whatever it takes to get that energy."
A year after averaging eight carries a game, Griffin has appeared hesitant to run. But Shanahan said the lack of the zone-read option attack can be traced to the Redskins' inability to sustain drives and their having to play from behind and pass almost exclusively.
Griffin echoed those sentiments but says it must change.
"I'll tell you what. If you told anybody we were going to throw the ball 49 and 40 times the first two games, they'd have thought you were stupid," Griffin said. "So it's not that I want to run more; it's just I feel like that's what we need. If that's what it takes for us to win games, then I'm going to go and do that."

The Japanese Samsung Galaxy S III will have 2GB of RAM
0. phoneArena 16 May 2012, 21:50 posted on
When we first saw the headlines popping up that the Japanese variant of the Samsung Galaxy S III would have 2GB of RAM, we didn't believe it. We scoured the DoCoMo website and looked through all of the documentation...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here
1. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Wow that is weak.
3. blinkdagger (Posts: 81; Member since: 04 May 2012)
err..excuse me, which part?
8. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Uh....The fact that Japan is the ONLY one getting 2GB of RAM. That was one thing many people were looking forward to with the SGS3.
10. bvalde09 (Posts: 181; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
I guess we could wait to buy the phone from Japan and the request an unlock code from the carrier. I mean 2GB Ram is a BIG BIG PLUS.
11. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Double the RAN means less force closes, less lag, less freeze ups, less rebooting, and so on and on. Updating the processor is all great and all but technology is moving fast and RAM is just as important to improve on.
30. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Have you noticed any freeze ups with S III? Because I haven't. So what for? Don't forget it's only a phone. Do you open 30+ apps at once?
32. Forsaken77 (Posts: 553; Member since: 09 Jun 2011)
You don't need 30+ apps open to use up 1GB of RAM genius. Alot of bigger apps, namely games, that are over 100mb in size use up alot more RAM to cache itself. I have a GS2 and I have to constantly use Samsungs built in RAM-clearing tool/app closer. Once you use an app, even if you close it out, it still caches itself to the RAM so it can restart quickly. 2GB of RAM should've been standard long ago with the average number of apps on phones in the mid-30's.
37. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
I've never had any of this problems with my phones. Even on my old galaxy 1.
I have a feeling that smartphones are becoming smarter than users. That's funny. A typical guy tends to open 20+ apps and at the end of the day start moaning that the battery is already dead or not enough ram or some laggs occur.
Use your phone smart in order to avoid "memory problem".
44. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
The more things you can load into RAM the better, smoother, faster the over all operation of the device is. Its the same with computers. Yea, you can run Vista on 2gig of ram OK, but if you really want to make it work well, you want 4gig or more.
If you had the option for more ram for the same price, why wouldnt you just take it? Why would you go out of your way to justify why you DONT need it.
And for anyone that likes detailed games on their phones, that advanced ram is going to come in super handy. Bigger page file sizes, increases in FPS, the whole 9.
56. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
smoothness is great.
But for my taste this specification race is ridiculous. It reminds me aforementioned windows which needs more and more resources to keep stability.
As far as I know 1 gigs is enough for now.
Maybe we should focus on underdeveloped apps which need so tremendous amount of power?
61. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
thats because you are limiting your imagination.
the hardware must first be availible, and then it must permeate a large section of the user base before any real development that challenges it happens. If we stopped improving, games and such would stay as they are now.
you may be "satisfied" with right now, but you never know how someone is going to think up a use for all that extra power.
I remember when 3D first came out, and all these people were like "2D hand drawn is better than 3D will ever be". Can you imagine every game you've ever played in 2D only? Had those haters had their way, we'd still be playing Super nintendo.
62. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
Man they can fool themselves if they want to but as long as you're not paying anything for an EXTRA gb of ram... THEN WHY COMPLAIN??? You are certainly Gaining and not losing ANYTHING!! Dont wanna make anyone mad but only a FOOL would not want a FREE Gb of ram right? and notice i said FREE...
13. Giggity (Posts: 147; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
Docomo doesn't sell phones or services online, every transaction must be done at B&M shops. Your only chance to buy it, is to wait for online retailers to import it.
18. bvalde09 (Posts: 181; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
Never heard of them before, but thanks for the tip. I could wait since Im also waiting for the next iphone to come out to see who will get my money. Like @roryrevolutions says . Having more ram helps any computer or smartphone to run better and smoother. The only thing that might be a worry will be the battery life with 2GB Ram
21. Giggity (Posts: 147; Member since: 17 Nov 2011)
B&M shop means physical stores (e.g: Walmart, Target..etc). Amazon Japan *might* carries them too, but I doubt they will ship it oversea.
26. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Wouldn't this be a crack-up - Japanese GSIIIs being grey-marketed to the U.S.????
Previously it was U.S. smartphones (Apple in particular) being grey-marketed to non-U.S. markets. Now it is poentially the reverse. Sauce for the Goose is now sauce for the Gander. LOL
60. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
except for the iphone madness, most of the "most coveted" phones are outside of america. This is just par for the course. Some of the phones Japan gets are way better than ours.
47. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
So there is one model of Galaxy S III or there is three models of Galaxy S III ??? WTF???
One with Quad-Core CPU
One with Dual-Core CPU
And one with 2GB of RAM memory
That's mean Galaxy S III not equal to Galaxy S III
The models is the same Galaxy S III, but we have double standards, that just not right, it is some kind of discrimination...
57. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
not a discrimination. that's a policy and market needs.
japan is the most high tech country in the world. It is obvious that samsung want to compete on this market. Given what DoCoMo and the others can offer...Samsung must try harder.
59. PhoneArenaUser (Posts: 5498; Member since: 05 Aug 2011)
"...that's a policy and market needs."
Yes, I know and agree with you, but for us simple users it is some kind of discrimination and double standards. :(
2. GellerDoesDallas (Posts: 50; Member since: 26 Mar 2012)
Even though 2 gigabytes of ram is not a necessity I still want it Japan you lucky bastards.
20. PackMan (Posts: 277; Member since: 09 Mar 2012)
2GB RAM is absolutely necessary. Increasing RAM is the fastest way to speed up the whole OS. Even though program may not use all of it, it reduces fragmentation in memory which is the primary reason your phone slows down after using it for certain period.
23. pahel (Posts: 4; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
lol @PackMan. You obviously don't have idea what you're talking about. Fragmentation problem in RAM doesn't exist as every memory cell in RAM is accessed equally fast. Fragmentation exist mainly in memory which has moving parts and requires movement of the reading head which produces extra lag in access time.
25. PackMan (Posts: 277; Member since: 09 Mar 2012)
RAM and SD gets fragmented too and yes it affects the system. In case of modern OS and with newer MMU's it may not be much of a problem, however for software that are not coded well,memory leaks become serious problem. Having more memory helps to certain degree.
In short: FRAGMENTATION OCCURS IN RAM AND SSD TOO BUT HAS LESS OF AN AFFECT COMPARED TO THAT ON A HARD DRIVE WITH MOVING PARTS.
27. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Also, a hard drive provides slower access to data that is fragmented (slower read speed of hard drive vs. solid state drive).
38. pahel (Posts: 4; Member since: 27 Feb 2012)
Why do you say RAM and SD as it would be the same thing? It's not.
Why do you confuse memory leaks with fragmentation? It's not the same. The only common problem with mem leaks and fragmentation which i can think of is situation where there is a lot of fragmentation in RAM (which of course occures but have different effects than you said - i may have put that wrong in my first post) and you want to allocate huge amount of memory and you get out of mem errors.
RAM fragmentation impact on read speeds is very slim and probably invisible for phone user.
49. PackMan (Posts: 277; Member since: 09 Mar 2012)
Lets me clear somethings.
----Fragmentation in RAM and in HARD DRIVE work slightly differently, so why did you bring it up.
The only reason I brought up SSD was to counter your argument that fragmentation affects the
performance of drive with moving parts only because of the increased seek time.
Fragmentation in SSD affects the performance(read/write).
-----Memory Leak assists external fragmentation in RAM.
--- if you restart the phone RAM fragmentation would disappear,unlike that of permanent drive, but that's not the point.
--- RAM fragmentation becomes significant when the system is running low on memory as memory not being used is being wasted.
-- The only way to counteract the effects of RAM fragmentation is to add more memory or use complexed algorithm to
better manage the memory which would require cpu time. Memory management is still a field of research.

I know. I want to brag about my freaking amazing phone to all my friends. Not that they'll care. xD
4. MorePhonesThanNeeded (Posts: 645; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
2 Gigs of RAM would be awesome to have in your phone, especially when we like to root and use launcher apps, some apps take up considerable RAM. The thing I want from these OEM's is a way to kill any non essential app and to ensure that I can stop any app from reloading itself, why on earth do apps have such abilities? I want to be able to have control over what blasted apps should be running on my phone. Uninstalling is a stupid way to deter this, unless you Root your phone.
5. imkyle (Posts: 1073; Member since: 18 Nov 2010)
I would rather see 2GB of ram in a tablet.
6. plgladio (Posts: 314; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
Yeah that will sound great,,
7. bobfreking55 (Posts: 866; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
Samsung should put this on the International version of their Exynos 5/4412 Beast GPU HD Tablet.
9. Mube1 (Posts: 153; Member since: 22 Sep 2011)
Wow very powerful phone no doubt
12. Phullofphil (Posts: 801; Member since: 10 Feb 2009)
There is decently a need to have more ram in these mini computers. Too whoever wrote this artical underplaying that is kinda stupid. I can see on waiting on quad core cpu over waiting on getting more ram. Let alone dedicating certain ram to do certain things. It's like on my galaxy nexus if I put widgets on all of my screens and fill them up I have a hard time even using my phone. True there is other bottlenecks besides ram but that has always been one of those fractures in the speed of a computer that gets overlooked by the CPU.
35. GuiltyBystander (Posts: 199; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
I agree with you.
2GB's of RAM is also necessary if we want the phone to get Jelly Beans and whatever comes next.
You can never have enough RAM.
14. darkgoon3r96 (Posts: 7; Member since: 16 May 2012)
I don't know why you guys need 2 Gigs of RAM. I am using a rooted Galaxy S II at this point with Custom ROMs, Apex Launcher, 3 games, 2 browsers, and 5 other apps(Twitter, Gmail, 5 widgets on homescreen, Youtube, Contacts, Phone) open with still 363 MB left and I bet I can open 10 more apps and switch between them without any lag or performance hit. Why you guys need 2 Gigs of RAM is honestly beyond me.
19. bvalde09 (Posts: 181; Member since: 22 Nov 2011)
Isnt matter if needing 2 GB Ram is the choice of having in it. Lets face it I would rather be 1.2 GM left than 363 Ram. I know for fact that I will never fall short
22. darkgoon3r96 (Posts: 7; Member since: 16 May 2012)
I opened all those stuff just to prove that I can, in reality, I would never open all those stuff, and for those of you thumbing my comment down, tell me why?? I am asking you guys a question, I am sure most of you won't ever open all these stuff then why would you want 2 GB? Don't give me the bigger is better and "just to make sure", because I have never maxed out my 1 GB RAM.
58. _PHug_ (Posts: 444; Member since: 11 Oct 2011)
Your problem is you don't want to accept the answer.
bvalde09 gave you the reason we want 2 GBs of RAM.
It's our right to choose. Who gives a F*** if we need it or not.
Allow me break it down for you.
You don't NEED a house you can live in a shelter or under a bridge.
You don't NEED a car you can walk or catch a bus.
You don't NEED a smartphone you can use an old flip phone or find a pay phone.
15. nak1017 (Posts: 328; Member since: 08 Jan 2010)
For the Ultra-porn HD 2.0, duh
16. Suts_97 (Posts: 124; Member since: 05 May 2012)
I wonder why this is not a standard feature of the S3
17. thelegend6657 (unregistered)
It's more about whether you eat quad core exynos or dual core snapdragon s4 with 2 gigs of ram . So I guess both of them are about the same speed .
I think USA models will get the same combo as Japan
24. Evil_SaNz (Posts: 259; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
2 GB on a phone it's like 8 gigs on a pc. Useless. Even worse, in a phone may waste more battery.
I'll start making phones with 6 GB Ram, 50 MP camera, eight core processors, without gsm radio and will call it "Magic" - will sell like crazy.
31. darkgoon3r96 (Posts: 7; Member since: 16 May 2012)
Yes! Exactly! At least someone gets the point!!!
36. GuiltyBystander (Posts: 199; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
Just because you can't make use of 8GB's of RAM on a PC doesn't mean that it's useless.
41. darkgoon3r96 (Posts: 7; Member since: 16 May 2012)
You're the idiot in this case. He was comparing it to what is possible on the phone.
42. GuiltyBystander (Posts: 199; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
It's stupid to even compare a smartphone to a PC, you can do much much much much more on a PC.
I can easily use 8GB's of RAM on a PC.. Heck, I can even use 32GB's of RAM.
People like you want to hold technology back.

Actualy you are totally wrong, because if it is new generation of RAM, then it is two times faster and two times use less power.
28. wendygarett (unregistered)
I dont get it? why crapdragon has ability to get 2GB of RAM but not the exynos? Not even in quad-core!! Am I get something wrong here??
51. MichaelHeller (Posts: 2703; Member since: 26 May 2011)
The amount of RAM has no bearing on the processor. It's a dual-core Exynos in this model and in the US models because the quad-core is based on older architecture that doesn't work with LTE.
Besides which, the functional difference between the quad-core Exynos and dual-core will be pretty much zero. Sure, the quad will have better benchmarks, but you probably wouldn't notice the difference in actual usage.
29. OpTiMuS_BlAcK (Posts: 418; Member since: 04 May 2012)
When LG creates a phone with to 2GB ram you say it's overkill.
But then samsung makes one too and you say it's necessary.
Obviously fanboys... -_-

Did you also notice that the japanese samsung site refers to a 1.5GHz DUAL core CPU ????? So , before trying to find a way to order from Japan the Galaxy SIII , please consider that it may be a mistake ... or , the worst case senario , a 2GB RAM Galaxy SIII with a DUAL core 1.5 GHZ processor !!!
39. jackhammeR (Posts: 1548; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
I heard the same. Dual core instead of quad core. But it would be great to see that Samsung S III is even faster (not only in benchmarks) than quad core version thanks to 2 gigs.
40. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
WHAT THE HELL SAMSUNG!!!!!.....im importing this
43. A.aoudi (Posts: 125; Member since: 14 Feb 2012)
This is something many users all around the world were expecting with this phone. It is just not fair that they release it in one market and they will certainly loose sails to phones such as the LTE2
45. dcgore (Posts: 227; Member since: 24 Feb 2012)
I wonder how easy importing one of these devices into the US is.

In Brief: German man dies in Grand Canyon kayaking accident
German man dies in Grand Canyon kayaking accident
GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. -- A German tourist on a commercial river trip at Grand Canyon National Park died after his kayak flipped over and he was unable to right himself, officials said. He's the second German tourist to die in the park this week.
The group had just started its multi-day trip on the Colorado River on Wednesday when park officials received a call around 2 p.m. about an unconscious kayaker at Badger Rapids.
A safety boat was able to reach the kayak, but authorities say Hans Uhl, 43, lost consciousness and couldn't be resuscitated.
On Monday, medics were unable to revive Wolfgang Hans-Joachim Glode, 64, after he was reported to be unconscious. Glode was vacationing with his wife from Sievershagen, Germany. The couple was at Desert View Campground at the time. Authorities are investigating the deaths.
Phoenix police search for answers in church attack
PHOENIX -- Investigators searching for solid leads after one priest was killed and another critically injured at a Roman Catholic church in a gritty stretch of downtown Phoenix released what they acknowledge is little more than a "limited description" of the suspect on Friday.
Sgt. Steve Martos said the description of a white male between the ages of 40 and 49 years old came from an interview with the Rev. Joseph Terra, who is hospitalized in critical condition with unspecified injuries.
There is a $1,000 reward for information leading to an arrest. Police are still unsure if there was only one suspect involved or whether robbery was the motive in the attack at the Mother of Mercy Mission, Martos said. A vehicle belonging to the Rev. Kenneth Walker, who died late Wednesday, was found a few blocks from the church.
Checker to Rock Hall: Induct me or 'drop dead'
NEW YORK -- Chubby Checker wants the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to know it's time to induct him into its exclusive club before it's too late.
"I don't want to get in there when I'm 85 years old. I'll tell them to drop dead, so you better do it quick while I'm still smiling," Checker said.
Checker's recording of "The Twist," and subsequent "Let's Twist Again" are considered among the most popular songs in the history of rock 'n' roll.
"Let's Twist Again' was the first rock 'n' roll song that received a Grammy (in 1962)," Checker said.
The 72-year-old recording artist equates a place in the Cleveland-based hall to the ability to sustain his career.
"If you put me in when I'm too old to make a living, then it's no good for me to be in there."
He added: "The Rolling Stones, they're in there. The Beastie Boys are in there, they're young. Hall and Oates were just in there and they're still making money."

CLEARWATER , Fla. - When I'm King of the World - Spring Training Edition . . .
There will be a motto displayed on the locker of every Baseball America Top 100 Prospect that reads: "Remember Clint Hartung, Dino Restelli, Ted Kazanski, David Clyde, Mike Anderson, Todd Van Poppel, Joe Savery . . . Oh, you could add scores more whose names you won't remember, baseball highflyers who crashed and burned before they even got off the runway.
Mike Anderson was considered a better prospect than either Greg Luzinski or Mike Schmidt. He was a spectacular rightfielder with power. Then, near the end of spring training in 1973, in the same game where rookie Schmidt blew out a hamstring, Andy, just 22 and on track to open the season as Danny Ozark's rightfielder, was beaned by hard-throwing Reds righthander Clay Carroll. I can still hear the rifle crack of baseball on helmet. When Mike returned from a severe concussion, he was never the same aggressive hitter. He should have carried a parachute to the plate along with his bat. Andy finished a 9-year career as a reserve outfielder for three teams with 28 homers and 134 RBI. Some of us thought those would be his season norms.
