Picture Wayne and Garth on a killing spree: The two head-banging, late- night public-access-TV hosts climb into their car, tool into downtown Aurora, Ill., and blow away half the customers at the local doughnut shop.
Nothing like that happens in Wayne's World, the sublimely stupid comedy starring Mike Myers and Dana Carvey and based on the characters the two created on Saturday Night Live. But when the folks at Paramount heard producer Lorne Michaels suggest Penelope Spheeris as director, the executives had queasy visions of a movie turned dark and twisted.

New iPhone to come with a 3.95-inch 640x1136-pixel screen, new connectors

We don't know whether there's a direct correlation between Apple's stock price being on an upward run and the spike in iPhone rumors, but…

It's what we can do with that 3.95" screen that makes all the difference.

Exactly... Every big screen android device I've tried, I took back. They just don't stack up to the iPhones overall package.

Depends on what you want your phone to do; I have one of each (work and personal) and prefer my droid. It's like BK I can have it my way and email and calendar are better on the android

Bwahahah.... they just couldn't submit to the demand and go the distance on a 4" screen..... it would have proved the competition was always ahead if the curve as far as screen size is concerned

galaxy s3 is a brick! most of them wont like such a big screen for their daily use. 4.3 is the perfect size!
39. Tjey007 (Posts: 86; Member since: 22 May 2012)
compare to GS2 it is not that big unlike other handset...easy too hold and operate...as far as i have seen the size is OK.

They will NEVER change aspect ratio and resolution, next rumor !
10. raunak (Posts: 507; Member since: 12 Oct 2011)
why wouldnt they change resolution if they are going to increase screen size?
27. andro. (Posts: 1998; Member since: 16 Sep 2011)
Screen aspect ratio probably will not change,if it does and the render above is an accurate representation of what the new iphone looks like than it looks like apple will be making its iphone look very similar to current top android phones.
6. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
This is funny considering the fact that apple would neveer leave the 3:2 aspect ratio
9. jcpwn2004 (Posts: 314; Member since: 18 Jan 2012)
exactly, I won't believe any of these rumors about a stretch screen until i see it.
12. kshell1 (Posts: 1143; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
I don't believe anyones ideas of the screen size change. we all know how stingy apple is making up dumb excuses to keep it the same size (resolution may change) i mean seriously the use the phone with just your thumb idea? i can type with one hand using only my thumb perfectly on my e4gt and my infuse (use my e4gt for games, browsing etc)
7. JeffdaBeat (unregistered)
I'm not quite sure how I feel about this one. I definitely want a bigger screen and I think most iPhone users are with me on that one. And from that mock up, it looks like the iPhone would remain the same size itself, which is definitely nice because it fits so well in my hand. But I still have to go back to the Galaxy S, which if I'm not mistaken is a larger handset. That phone was the first 4" screened phone that I thought was dead on physically. It was larger deminsion wise (from what I remember), but was still incredibly comfortable in hand. Why not make a slightly larger phone and kick the resolution up a bit more?
I just don't think Apple can get away with a slight upgrade this year...even if the screen is larger. The iPhone 4S is a fantastic phone under the hood, but even I'll admit that these Android manufacturers are throwing in everything they've got to compete with Apple. And the results have been fantastic, in my opinion. Apple rode on its name with the iPhone 4S...and like I said...fantastic phone, but just not flashy as some others. This iPhone needs to be a jaw dropper if Apple wants to continue to compete and draw our attention. But I trust they understand and know that. But it's not just the hardware...the software has to be updated too. I'm a simple guy and I love how basic the layout of iOS is. But I'm not everyone and people want their phones to look cooler.
I think Apple will do well with this release. Probably the most hyped phone Apple has released since...the iPhone 4? or 3G...
13. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
We agree on many points about the necessity of a big change for the i5 to stay competitive. Small things wont cut it this time around. It needs to go big or stay home.
Honestly, IF its a big change, it will be the most hyped iphone since probably the first one. If its not, its not going to be hyped much at all other than to the crazed fanboy crowd. Noobs that want a smaller, low hassle set will still gravitate towards it, but with so much coming out of WP7 trying to take a piece of that exact pie, its going to spread things a little more thin.
Really, anything less than 4 inches is going to be a complete fail. It really needs to be over 4 inches, but 4 is the minimum. Bezels are much smaller than they used to be, and there is no reason they cant go above 4 without barely changing the size of the set.
The SGS1 and the i4 are nearly the same size. The SGS1 is just a hair bigger, but its also much thinner and lighter, so it feels great in the hand.
The average android handset is 4.3 and above at this point... with a heavy push closer to 4.5 now. With the bulk of android sales being towards the high end, and the bulk of the high end being 4.3 to 5xx, that shows that many if not most people want more screen. WP7 is following the same path, and BB-10 touch screens look to be doing the same.
iOS is in need of a facelift, but honestly what can they do at this point that is going to be spectacularly new that isnt going to be just a copied hodge podge of other OS's at this point? They need the change, but the more it changes, the more likely its going to be using similar ideals to android, and the more similar to android it becomes, the reason for buying it drops. Why buy a small phone with "android on safety rails", when ICS devices are top notch now? If it were android on safety rails vs android 1.6, yea, i could see it.. but that old bugged android OS is a thing of the past.
31. JeffdaBeat (unregistered)
I definitely agree that 4" is the bare minimum, although I'm oddly cautious about going to 4.5in screens. I just remember the first time I held and Evo and thought, there is no way I'd carry this thing around. I still feel that way. But I think far more than screen size itself is the phone design overall. Like you said, you can get a 4.3" screen and still have a relatively comfortable phone to hold. Bezel is something that I rarely think about, but it does have a big impact on the design of the phone. I just don't think the iPhone needs as much framing as it has had in the past 5 versions.
And I'll agree with you to a certain extent about iOS. I don't think we've explored every kind of user interface just yet, although I'm sure people will call out similarities. But I trust that Apple has enough talent that they can think of something good. Still, I'm shocked they still haven't updated the look of the whole thing. Speaking to the audience they are marketing to, they may not need to...but still.
But releasing a phone once a year, you have to give it everything you have. The iPhone 4 was epic and the phone held up extremely well the entire year. The iPhone 4S had great specs, but it wasn't long before other manufacturers were producing...well...most interesting phones. I stand by my thought of a phone lives and dies by the apps that are available to it...but still. You want your phone to look and feel good. I guess we shall see...
32. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
the apps definitely make a difference, but that huge divide between iOS apps and everyone else is pretty much gone. With android specs going higher, the apps have been getting tremendously better, so what was once a clear advantage for iOS is no longer. Once more WP7/8 apps start to mature its going to be a horse race for nicest apps.
Well, here's to hoping they bring it. Im not a fan of Apple as a company, but I am a fan of high competition because thats better for everyone.
48. sithman (banned) (Posts: 299; Member since: 21 Apr 2012)
And u said all that to say what exactly? People r gonna buy what they want to buy, regardless of the slander they hear. Those that prefer iPhones r gonna buy iPhones, those who prefer android r gonna buy android. Both platforms r very good, but cater to mostly different crowds. Not everyone wants to root, and customize their interface all day, not everyone wants a closed Eco system, and iTunes, but millions of buyers want both evidently cuz both r the cream of the tech crop. And I said all that to say what? Exactly...

Why not give us a 5.6,or even a 6 inch screen on the next iphone?
11. Taylen (Posts: 1; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
That would be a smaller iPad, not iPhone...

15. frydaexiii (Posts: 1443; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
And in the end, we'll see another 3.5 incher...
To prevent app fragmentation, the only thing they can do is either keep the same 3.5 inch retina, or extend the screen without changing the pixels, thus forgoing the retina moniker, or perhaps Apple will have double standards again and still call it "retina" even with the decreased DPI just like they did with the new iPad
19. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
your right man, this is a tough one for the Iphone and Im sorry to say it but if they cant increase without any other side problems then its going to be a long year and half for apple, with all the Android competition out there...but lets not worry right now because WE DONT KNOW what apple is going to do and they might actually pull this one off and find away around the fragmentation problems...
16. strikercho (banned) (Posts: 156; Member since: 20 Mar 2012)
3.5" is just fine for a phone and indeed the best size to use it effectively with a single hand. It is a smartPHONE, after all. If you need biggger - go for an iPad. I guess that soon there will be a new device. Basically iPhone should stay a phone. I and I welcome this. It is ridiculous to see a girl with a coffee tray like a Galaxy and trying to talk on it.
20. tedkord (Posts: 11673; Member since: 17 Jun 2009)
Absolutely! You believe as I do, that we all have the right to let Steve jobs make up our minds for us!
Sorry, but I think you're in the minority. Most iPhone users I know want a bigger screen. They don't want 5 inches, but they'd like about 4. Now, if Apple does what was shown, increase only one axis, the overall phone could remain the same size. But, I don't see them changing the aspect ratio, so probably not.
46. E.N. (Posts: 2610; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
Yup, I want a bigger screen now
21. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
i agree with the galaxy being WAYY TOO BIG but there is most definitely a way to increase the size and still be comfortable! A four inch phone would be pretty much perfect for comfortablitly as well as watching vids and playing games on... so while the 3.5 in is OK for just being a "phone" there are wayy to many other areas that need to be filled in without over doing them.... Thats why if apple can pull off the 4 incher it will be a glorious day for them no doubt....
43. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
You do know there's more than one Galaxy right? By you saying coffee tray, I'm assuming you're talking about the Galaxy Note with the beautiful 5.3" screen. It is big, but you eventually get used to it. Anything under 4.3 is too small for me.
17. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
Man, by the way this article sounds, iphone is kind of stuck as to what its going to do... they cant play it safe and continue with that small screen but also dont want any other problems like framentation problems if they were to expand it to 4 inches! But again this is probably what "THIS" article in particular is coming about...dont know for sure what apple is going to bring but im pretty sure they're not unaware of what is expected to stay in the competition...
22. jeroome86 (Posts: 1129; Member since: 12 Apr 2012)
They couldn't do a bigger screen with I pad 2 resolution? Just asking?
23. coy2013 (Posts: 10; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
Lmao why not just add the extra .05 inch of screen??
Oh wait thats right apple would probably over charge you of that much screen
28. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
lol while being sarcastic, this is probably true, Apple is a bit pricey... :( dont want to start nothing but even the galaxy S3 is the same price as the IPHONE 4s 32gb,64gb if you get it on ebay and amazon and the S3 just came out!! so just imagine the iphone 5 with a larger display! They might just try and charge you more money, wich would be, in my opinion, lame :(
24. theoak (Posts: 324; Member since: 16 Nov 2011)
16x9 ... this is interesting.
If Apple had their way, I think they would want to keep the 3:2 ratio.
However, this may be a case of the display manufactures. Everything else is 16:9: TVs, monitors, other phones, other tablets. The display manufacturers could be telling Apple: 1. We can build 16:9 cheaper. 2. We are only going to offer you 16:9.
As far as applications. apps, could still be okay. The apps could just get centered leaving the edges black, leaving about a 1/4 inch on either side; folks will probably barely notice at these dimensions. The next iteration of the application could then account for the extra room. I don't see a huge rush for app developers to change their applications.
25. wsucoug13 (Posts: 164; Member since: 04 May 2012)
Regardless of if they change the screen size and aspect ratio, Apple is going to come up with some feature that is cool and makes a good commercial but no one ever uses (facetime & siri) and call it the best iphone ever and will sell like crazy. That is what happens every time. Look at the 4s. Apple is a marketing genius.
26. Bluesky02 (Posts: 1439; Member since: 05 Dec 2011)
I predict it's gonna be 4.3!!
29. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
If Apple releases the i5 with less than a 4 inch screen size, my prediction is that you will see a slowing of Apple's smartphone market share growth. And that would be an opening for MS.
30. shamataa (Posts: 215; Member since: 07 Dec 2011)
It really does not matter what size of the srceen it will be b/c the SGS3 is a better phone than that small ass phone even if they do incearse to whatever screen.
33. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Hmmm... if this will be the case, has it occured to anyone that Apple will be actually removing physical Home button? It would use extra 176 pixels, which will also be backward compatible with older apps and give extra space for new apps and 16:9 video content...
We had a rumor (with photos) about physical home button for iPhone 5 but it's very old now and it could easily be wrong.
So, more like Galaxy Nexus/ICS - virtual Home button for older apps.
How's that sound?
34. AppleConspiracy (Posts: 637; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
The other scenario that I have been mentioning before is 1152x768 resolution, to keep 3:2 ratio and 329 PPI on a 4-incher.
35. harpdogg (Posts: 18; Member since: 17 May 2012)
We all know no matter how big the screen is or the resolution of it, every tech blog is going to praise the phone as if they cant believe no other phone manufactures thought to do it. a sub HD display will still be consider the greatest thing since slice bread, because of the PPi

"This elongated screen will allow Apple to add one more row of icons, so we have not four, but five of them." I've never seen so much excitement over an OS because of their ability to add icons to its app launcher. Let's hope Samsung, LG, and/or Sharp don't dissapoint when they build this screen.
42. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Still not a HD display (1280x720) so they're already behind lol.
51. reagannism (Posts: 9; Member since: 23 Nov 2011)
Rumors about iphone 5 spread around.. some could be true while some could be wrong. The fact we know for sure is :
1. iphone 5 will be made by Apple
2. it will be more expensive than iphone 4S
3. it will be using iOS
Additional (this is IMO lol) :
1. it will be a "bit" overpriced, as usual (if you know what I mean)
1. the unsubsidized 32 GB version will be more expensive than the cheapest macbook air, perhaps (come on.. in my country iphone 4S 64 GB is around 1100$.. crap)
53. BattleBrat (Posts: 1457; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
Yes, they changed the ratio! Just as the apple people predicted..
54. TechDork (Posts: 292; Member since: 10 May 2010)
Their gonna make the screen longer? That's stupid.
57. jdfieweger (Posts: 6; Member since: 19 May 2012)
It's amazing to see all kinds of people that are so against one type of OS. Having used every OS out there they all have good and bad qualities. I think it would be smart for apple to have a larger screen because it might actually pull people from android who are still on the fence with their choice but they really don't need a bigger screen. Apple is doing just fine with the 3.5in display. I think where a company like Samsung goes wrong is with their commercials. Anytime you put your competition in your commercials you've already lost. There is a reason why apple stopped those Mac vs pc commercials. Just stick to making good quality phones and let that speak for itself. When you compare people to sheep it's not gonna make people leave apple for your company when there are more manufacturers that make android phones. Cut those stupid commercials
58. SonyFTW2020 (Posts: 311; Member since: 03 May 2012)
it is about balance, and a 4in phone is just enough to say "look whats new and better about the iphone" they will be able to say "now you can watch movies and play games with a broader view, and you can do so without leaving your comfort zone!" (which is the comfort of HOLDING the phone for awhile!) This i believe would get the users that are looking for something new in the iphone 5 but dont want to leave their comfort zone too much. It will satisfy the users that want a larger screen overall, and will ALSO even draw SOME android users that are already acustomed to 4inches and more!! if you do 4.3 it will be doing too much and will knock off the balance, most will shy away because its a BIG leap coming from a small 3.5 inches...The reason why it wont draw majority of android users is simply because of the OS android is alot less restricted and alot more customizable, and therfor IOS will have a HARD time convincing them otherwise... So All this too say a 4 inch upgrade is more of a necessity than a regular o

The GOP has blocked Obama at every turn
I find it interesting - and more than a little disingenuous - that Robert Samuelson, in his syndicated column of Sept. 11 ("Are you better off now?"), seems to place all the blame for what he suggests is a failed recovery on President Obama.
Has Samuelson forgotten that at every turn, a thoroughly ornery and obstreperous wing of the opposition - reinforced by the 2010 midterm election, which returned control of the House back to Republicans - has sought to thwart and obstruct the president - to such a pass that Moody's, last summer, downgraded the credit rating of the United States, citing political paralysis in Washington, D.C.? The list of their antics is long and tiresome.
Much of this is detailed in a new book by Robert Draper, "Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives." He charges that from the moment Barack Obama took office, Republicans plotted to sabotage his presidency, even though the nation faced its worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
Let's hope that come November, the voting public has a better memory than Samuelson.

At issue is a contract of concessions, deep enough that Local 19 of the United Auto Workers voted it down 59-3 before the 2004 pact expired Saturday. A similar lockout on Nov. 1, 2004, ended with eventual passage of the current contract by 100 members of Local 19.
"The company will continue to operate the plant and to ship product to its customers for the duration of the labor dispute," James Stadler, Light Metals' lawyer, said in a statement. "The company and union remain far apart on their respective bargaining positions regarding what is needed to address the complex and challenging realities of today's global market place."
Light Metals, 2740 Prairie St. SW, is a privately held company established in 1944 that fabricates extruded aluminum and metal hardware for the auto industry and other companies. On Monday, workers picketed in six-hour shifts in a light drizzle, flanked by DK Security vans and personnel at the company's three entry drives off Prairie Street.
Pickets huddled around a curbside fire, holding "UAW/Lock-Out" signs.
"We're not here because we want Generous Motors wages," one longtime worker said. "We're out here because (the company) didn't want to deal in a fair manner."
Jeff Beegle, a UAW representative, said the local union wants to return to the bargaining table and reach a fair resolution.
"This is more about control than economics for (the company)," he said. "There's nothing in their proposals for us.
"This isn't a case of labor burying feet in cement and making all sorts of demands. This is a matter of these folks trying to salvage every little thing they can."
Jim Tipton, a retiree who fought the company in the 2004 lockout, joined his former co-workers on the picket line. After seeing the proposed contract, Tipton mobilized Local 19 retirees Monday.
"I have never seen a contract in my life that was as bad as this one," said Tipton, 71. "If they accept this, they'll take their wages down to $11 an hour, and the lowest right now is $14.76, I think."
Beyond wage cuts, the contract would affect benefits, retirement plans and holiday pay, and would eliminate job classifications, he said.
"They're trying to take too much away from these guys; (the company) is way off base," Tipton said. "I feel I should support these guys. Let's get real here. Let's get on the same page, at least."

Featured Golf News
48 Hours in the Life of a Golf Course Photographer
As we were finishing up dinner, I announced to my children that I would be gone for a day or two, as I had a new golf course to photograph. "Where are you going this time Dad," my son asked. "Florida", I replied. "But I will be back in a day or two."
I put my clubs in the Club Glove bag, my tripod nestling beside them. Some last-minute washing and drying of clothes and then I go through the list. Three pairs of socks, two pair of pants, three shirts, a sweater, rain gear, golf hat, and lastly, two pair of underwear (Im not a good flyer). I roll them all up like little sausages, line the sides of the bag, and make sure not to exceed 50 pounds or the United people will get another $25 for their Christmas party fund.
I arrange for the taxi to pick me up at 5 a.m., double-check my camera equipment and film, and give my wife a copy of my schedule (it makes her feel comfortable that Im not in Arizona with a Sun Devils cheerleader).
The night before I travel is never much fun. All the worst possible scenarios go through my head. Im leaving my family, so questions arise like: Who is going to feed the dog? and, What happens if California falls into ocean when Im in Florida having a fruity drink chatting with an airline hostess?
Anyway, after tossing and turning for what seems like an eternity, the alarm goes off at 4 a.m. It's Show Time!
My daughter always insists on being woken up no matter the ungodly hour so she can wave goodbye as I depart in the taxi. My heart melts, and I say to myself, if any young man as much as looks at her sideways while Im away I will find his nearest orifice to place a 7-iron.
"Where to?" asks the taxi driver. "Airport please," I reply.
The United lady tells me that I dodged a bullet, that my bag only weighs 49 pounds. Have you ever noticed that the same bag can weigh 58 pounds on the return trip? Apparently, there is no uniformity in the calibration of the scales. I guess it all depends on how the Christmas fund is going.
The security person asks me to remove the contents of my pocket. Two white golf tees from Sundays round appear. They are confiscated. I am informed they are considered a potentially dangerous weapon . . . only if I stick a Titleist on top of them!
Once in the air, it's time to focus on the job ahead. A quick stop in Denver, a Fosters or Fat Tire to calm the nerves, and on to Orlando. Flying is no fun anymore. Nobody wants to talk to you. If you so much as order one of those diminutive cocktails, the stewardess looks at you as if youre an alcoholic or have designs on the Captains heavily reinforced door.
Finally, a few bumps later, we arrive in the "Magic Kingdom."
I always feel grateful when my bag makes the connection. A quick jog to the Avis desk and, before I know it, Im sitting behind the wheel of a sporty new vehicle. That's where my problems begin. I am what you call in this PC world, directionally challenged. If I mean to go left, I go right. If I should go north, I go south.
This is when my blood pressure is always the highest and I can be seen through the car windows screaming at myself like a madman. The one that always gets me is when the directions say to go north, but the signs only give an east or west choice. It reminds me of the old joke, "Why do they call them apartments when theyre all stuck together?"
I digress, on to the golf course.
Upon arrival at the course I introduce myself to the director of golf or the golf pro. He or she makes arrangements for access to a golf cart and points me in the direction of the first tee. When it comes to introducing myself to the beverage cart lady, I am on my own. My modus operandi (time permitting) is to go around the course once or twice and scout for possible photo opportunities. When the time arrives, usually about two hours prior to sunset, it's time to go to work.
Assuming good weather and Ive done my job right, I have several images "in the can" and am half-way home. Now it's time to challenge myself again. Let's point my little Avis friend in the direction of the hotel, try not to get lost again, and make it there before last call. After check-in and finding my room, I hide my camera equipment in the shower. No one would ever think of looking there. I turn the TV up loud (that also scares would-be robbers away), and head downstairs to the lounge.
Chasing the sun for two hours, dodging golf balls, and trying to get to the tee box to create stunning images before the next four-ball match arrives is very stressful. Answering questions like "What are you doing?" when trying to photograph a course which is as obvious as a wart on a hogs behind is also a pain. I have three minutes of sunshine left on the green and some lone golfer chooses this moment to hit four balls into it. This is also not good for the blood pressure.
The only reason I mention all of this is to relieve some of my Irish-Catholic guilt when ordering a second Bushmills on the rocks. I am a firm believer in balance, and I believe this "water of life" helps restore the calm in my soul after a hectic day. After a little soakage, i.e. food, its back to the hotel room. I check all my camera equipment, make sure the film is in a cool place, and call home to talk to the children and "She Who Must Be Obeyed." I place a wake-up call, watch CNN and fall asleep.
The one thing that blows me away about people who work at golf courses is that they can never tell you when the sun rises. When I ask the superintendent or golf pro, "What time will the first rays of the sun dance across the fairways?" they inevitably say an hour before it actually happens. No worries. I sit in my brand-new Avis, read the complimentary USA Today, and enjoy my breakfast of champions (a Seven-Up and a Milky Way bar) as I wait for the giant golden orb to peek over the mountains.
Job completed, I make a mad dash to the airport and take the 11:45 back to Denver. With 40 minutes to kill, I stop off at the half-way house and have a Fosters or a Fat Tire whichever one I didnt have the day before. Feeling confident that I wont soil my pants if we drop 1,000 feet in a split-second, I board my connection back to California.
Forty-eight hours later, Im again enjoying one of my wifes fine culinary offerings. My son queries, "Dad, how was Chicago?"
"I was in Florida son," I respond.
"Is that close to Chicago?"
"Go get an atlas lad and lets work on your geography."
Chances are I will sleep well tonight. Ill need it, because Im off again in a couple of days.

Alleged shooter still in Texas
Brother of man shot by officer accused in slaying
November 1, 2013
The 26-year-old man facing a murder charge in connection with an early Saturday morning shooting that left a local man dead was still being held at the Harris County Jail in Texas without bond on......
Where's Thomas Walker, still out there stirring the pot???

I'm sure there is a connection between Walkers and Rollison. Its that fated shooting of Dukes on the Sunday morning. Oh and let's all blow some smoke for the mayor too.. he didn't do squat on that drug bust. The ATF headed that and did a fantastic job. The mayor probably found out when the 100 and something indictments came out. Don't believe it any other way. That's was a govt sting, not something put on by the Mayor

It really is just that simple, nobody looks at a map and believes this little town might work. Warren thugs have to reach out to invite these folks in. Only a moron travels to a strange town with a trunk full of drugs not knowing anyone there.
People who really don't know how the streets work need to quit guessing and making it up to sound informed & knowledgeable. Anyone who has actually been there can spot a phony from a distance and Zenith (yeah I spelled it wrong) you are a phony pretending to be street wise...

You actually are one of "those morons who think they know it all but don't" Zenith! Detroit boys did'nt pick Warren because the police are disadvantaged you bozo, they picked Warren because they have folks here who called them for cheap drugs & hook ups.
Anytime folks in a small town want to sell drugs they look for the cheapest price to maximize their profits. If a thug in Warren has relatives in Detroit Cleveland or New York they call to set up a connection.
They get cheap dope, make huge profits so the connection in Detroit moves their supply store closer so Warren thugs don't have to go so far to buy. Then other thugs meet these supply boys and everyone prospers, until Warren thugs try something dumb and violence begins.

clean up has to start in the courts.. the judges and prosecutors have been way to lenient for way to long.. those with petty charges get hammered and waste space in the jails and those who need hammered are literally getting away with murder...

You guys rack me up...
Stop and frisk every single one of them, and don't listen to anything or anyone anymore. No one trusts thug like behavior...there is nothing they can say that will help. Look crossed eyed and they should be stopped and questioned.
Listen, these guys LAUGH at cops, especially when they are alone. They try to intimidate them. That's why when things are heightened, cops take someone with them. Ask any cop, and if he's honest, he will tell you he is afraid to drive alone i these areas. They are intimidated.
Once a thug, always a thug, and if you say you aren't, I say you are lying.

What Warren has today is a product from it's inability to control it's problems from over a decade ago. Every other city? Most cities have money and have the ability to fight crime with police officers. When a city is in dire straits then everything is effected including crime control. You can't blame the mayor at the top if there isn't any funds to increase police protection. Gee, why do you think Warren was chosen by the Detroit Thugs? It's NOT because we are a wonderful city. Too bad we have those Morons who think they know it all but actually, don't know anything. SAD SAD SAD

Further, The problem with blanket cliches and similar chatter is its just noise, discounting unique circumstances from each situation.
Many a person that have been in jail or prison are able to reform their behaviors to become productive citizens. Many just use the prison system as revolving door. Thus proving my point that people really can change!
As for some killing spree? IDK about that, I read the 1st walker pulled a weapon on a cop. IMO the cop was justified to shoot him. The urban league and so called "black leaders" turned a justified shooting into a race issue, thus starting hysteria by calling for calm! The 2nd walker guy, shot a guy he once knew for his car. Now the mans family is left to grieve in public and has been unknowingly drawn into the media circus! The 3rd walker guy is harassing innocent folks, because he raised worthless sons.
Seems to me this family should have had the breed line stopped long ago!
7 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
NO! People can change they simply have to first want to and secondly do it! For anyone here to say once a thug always a thug is simply NOT true!!
Especially when that same fountain of sillyness previously posted that people make mistake as kids and it should be overlooked ... which is it?
This is the problem with low IQ/info citizens they are too happy to voice a cliche rather than facts! Bleeding hearts controlled by the media, innuendo, and shock sensation rather than truth, they string superlatives and what ifs and rather than qualitative sentences!
Its more than obvious the Mayor is NOT at fault but can begin a remedy and NMC is correct the council the Mayor has to work greatly effects the progress! If people actually learned how the local govt is supposed to function they could effect the progress they desire!

No hammer will be dropped on thugs because Warren is no worse than any other City. You're an idiot if you believe the Mayor can make a call or "send for troops" to deal with your fears.
Get in line, Cleveland has 2 murders a day, Youngstown 2 a week & Chicago twice as many as both. Outsiders believe Warren is lucky, should feel safe and shut up!
WP you'll have to find another way to vent your dislike of the Mayor. He's doing a good job considering the Council he's forced to work with. Plus he can't predict where criminals will strike next, can you?

Marine have you been in warren lately. I have seen state highway patrols in residential neighborhoods. The mayor has busted parlors and did a big bust in March. People ask for the mayor to use outside forces he has look how fast his killer was caught. I know some murders and other crimes go unsolved.
4 Agrees | 7 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
I agree that now is the time to drop the hammer on the entire "thug element" residing in Warren. However, that takes coordination between more than a few different elements.
Remember, maybe 6 years ago... the thug that robbed a bank in Lordstown, and was shooting up the SW side with an AK? The US Marshall's came through the hood like a hot knife through butter; stopping cars everywhere; arresting all kinds of human trash. That's what needs to happen again, but it takes time to get all the warrants, planning and coordination done.

Remember he did a huge bust in March and you were the first to critize the police about over time. You can't have your cake and eat it to.

The Grand Tour: Cities Shaped by Art
Learn the essentials of art history with ACCA's chosen team of experts with a refreshing complimentary cocktail in hand. Just as Melbourne's arts culture has shaped the city, the same goes for many of the world's biggest metropolitan cities. ACCA has picked out a group of 'tour guides' for the Grand Tour lecture series to take you through the world's best galleries, arts events, and architecture, as well as visit the writers, thinkers, and artists that have shaped each city. This month, ACCA invites you to a city that you may never have heard of, but that has a fascinating history and a thriving arts culture. Yekaterinburg is located 300km north of Kazakhstan. The fourth largest city in Russia, Yekatinerbug is a bustling city on the east of the Ural Mountains, and is home to the Ural Industrial Biennale of Contemporary Art. In 2015, the biennale was held in a constructivist apartment building that used to be pat of a Chekist (KGB) town. Artist Lisa Radford will harness Yekanterinburg's art scene and take you on a virtual tour through the city. Through her product FOOT-NOTES / ПРИМЕЧАНИЯ, Radford has come to understand the city through the eyes of its artists, theatre-makers, musicians and students – and she will impart her experiences onto visitors of ACCA's Grand Tour. These days, Radford writes and teaches in the painting department at the Victorian College of the Arts, and explores the intersection between place, people and images in her work.

Fixed PriceBudget: $250
Start DateSeptember 9, 2013
We are in need of immediate updates to two online courses.
We ask that you stay as close as possible to the est. hours. You will be paid a an hourly rate of $5 per hr.
1) Pediatric Spinal Column Cord Injuries
2) Pediatric Abdominal Trauma
DEADLINE: ASAP! (Sept. 13th)
I will provide FTP access upon hire. Also, be sure to read the information below as it is extremely important that you are informed of these things PRIOR TO STARTING the project. Lastly, please know that if you complete this project correctly and on time we will offer you residual work each month. If you can kick these out in 3 days or less you're our contractor!
Our rule for the instructional designer is that content requests have to fit without scrolling, and some pages have too much content. I can typically catch when that will likely happen, but if I miss it (or forget to review it), please raise a red flag to me and we'll have our instructional designer reconsider the content.
There are only a few things I would like you to consider:
1) Don't use an 'img' style to any pages (that sets a border). It is a bit dangerous to use such a broad style selector. Better to use a style selector class and then apply that class when needed. I've also found the broad style on knowledge check pages, and it makes the remediation graphics look poor (the remediation icons have black borders).
2) Some general ground rules for photos and illustrations (this is inside the programming guidelines).
a) do not unproportionately scale images, cropping is allowed to adjust the ratio
b) crop the background when it is not relevant to the primary subject matter
c) illustrations with white backgrounds should not have black borders
We promise to fully review each document prior to submission to you to make sure there's no oddities that aren't accounted for.
Additionally: As with any course that is a new version (including this one), it's important that your team update the page ids in both the config.xml and content files, and rename the filenames of the content files, according to the programming guidelines. Feel free to ask any questions about that process. Most courses are new versions, but some are revisions and this step should not be completed. The MMFF document indicates if it is a revision or new version (you can also assume that any course with an ID in the 700's is a new version).
When working with XML files (particularly the quiz data files), please keep the following in mind:
1) Keep XML nodes well-formed using consistent indentation.
2) Remove XML nodes that are not used. The example data file nodes that are not commonly used in every quiz; please remove them rather than letting them sit empty.
Thanks, let me know if you have any questions; and if all goes well I look forward to sending more your way!

Just like traditional communities, online communities provide your members a way to be social, discuss issues, meet people with common interests, and support each other in times of need. Both online and offline communities are places to interact, converse, and cultivate relationships.
While communities of all kinds are largely beneficial, they take effort and there are things to consider before creating a new place to interact. Here are 8 things to think about before starting an online community.
1. Your audience. Consider your audience and where they go now to seek answers. Does another online community already exist where there is high involvement? Or are your members not very tech-savvy? Do they use social media? Think about what they do now, and where an online community would fit into their daily routine.
2. It's not easy to get started. Even if you do all of the right things starting out, the beginning is probably going to be a little rough. It's certainly not something where you "build it, and they will come." It takes work and patience to grow a thriving online community. Make sure you keep your expectations reasonable, be persistent, and know that it's a process to grow an online community.
3. Where you want this to go. What do you hope your online community will look like in a month? In a year? 5 years down the road? Determine goals in the beginning, so you can evaluate whether or not you're being successful. And considering where you want to be down the road is important to making sure you find the right platform or vendor to meet your needs.
4. Find power users. An online community can be a lot like the chicken and egg dilemma. No one wants to join a community before there is activity, but there's never going to be activity until you have members. The key here is finding people who who are going to actively participate. Reach out to people that would make great power users at the beginning and ask them to help jump start the new community.
5. Give people a reason to participate. Emailing members, begging them to participate isn't the answer. Start interesting and even controversial topics. Give your power users specific instructions and ways to get involved. Offer people the ability raise their profile status by participating. And recognize the achievements and contributions amongst your organization.
6. Don't provide all the answers. This may sound odd, but the purpose of an online community is for your members to ask questions and participate in finding the answers. If you provide all of the answers right off the bat, members arrive and find what they need without contributing to the community. Your purpose as an organization is to help facilitate and jump in when needed, but largely let the community help each other.
7. Who's going to administer. Although your community should eventually run fairly naturally with the majority of contributions from members, they still take a considerable amount of resources. A good administrator will do their best to get everyone involved and keep up a regular flow of topics.Be sure you consider your available staff resources and don't give this task to someone that already has a full workload.
8. Will it integrate with your current system. For many associations, having an online community that integrates into your association management software is key. Members would only have one login to remember and you can gain valuable member intelligence from the additional data you can collect. This makes it easier for the members to participate and your association gains greater visibility into the use of community.
The key to this all is to ask, "What do you want to accomplish?" The answer to this question - and subsequent questions - will help you drive your decisions.
What are your goals for providing an online community to your members? Can you accomplish those goals with existing systems and resources, or do you need to invest in new software or add staff members?
And, of course, "How will you measure success?" Can you link the use of your online community to an increase in member retention or sponsorship revenue? Can you show that new members joined because they needed the resources offered by your online community?
Remember, you're not considering starting an online community just for fun. You're seeking ways to grow your association, provide better service to your members and get rewarded for your efforts. Just like other initiatives, create a plan that you can manage and measure.

Dave Brubeck dies at 91
Jazz composer and pianist Dave Brubeck, whose pioneering style in pieces such as "Take Five" caught listeners' ears with exotic, challenging rhythms, has died. He was 91.
Brubeck died Wednesday of heart failure after being stricken while on his way to a cardiology appointment with his son Darius, said his manager Russell Gloyd. Brubeck would have turned 92 today.
Brubeck had a career that spanned almost all American jazz since World War II. He formed The Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1951 and was the first modern jazz musician to be pictured on the cover of Time magazine -- on Nov. 8, 1954 -- and he helped define the swinging, smoky rhythms of 1950s and '60s club jazz.
The seminal album "Time Out," released by the quartet in 1959, was the first ever million-selling jazz LP, and is still among the best-selling jazz albums of all time.
It features "Take Five" -- in 5/4 time -- which became the Quartet's signature theme and even made the Billboard singles chart in 1961. It was composed by Brubeck's longtime saxophonist, Paul Desmond.
"When you start out with goals -- mine were to play polytonally and polyrhythmically -- you never exhaust that," Brubeck said in 1995. "I started doing that in the 1940s. It's still a challenge to discover what can be done with just those two elements."
12-12-12 concert can
be seen by 1 billion
The 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert will be broadcast across 34 U.S. and international television, radio and Internet locations across six continents.
Producers said the concert will be available to 1 billion people across six continents.
Eric Clapton and Coldplay have been added to an already stellar lineup on Dec. 12 at Madison Square Garden that also includes Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen &The E Street Band, Paul McCartney, Kanye West, Billy Joel, Alicia Keys, Roger Waters and others.
Proceeds from the benefit go to the Robin Hood Relief Fund, which is helping victims of Sandy in hard-hit New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
'Seinfeld' star Richards
cast in pilot for TV Land
TV Land has cast "Seinfeld" star Michael Richards in a pilot for a prospective new sitcom.
The series, "Giant Baby," also would feature fellow "Cheers" alums Kirstie Alley and Rhea Perlman.
The pilot will be taped next week.
"Giant Baby" focuses on Broadway star Maddie Banks, played by Alley. Richards plays her limo driver while Perlman plays her assistant.
This would be Richards' first regular series role since his short-lived NBC sitcom aired in 2000. Before that, he played Jerry Seinfeld's kooky neighbor Cosmo Kramer on the wildly popular "Seinfeld" series.
In the meantime, Richards performed as a standup comedian. He lost his temper while being heckled at a club in 2006 and was caught on tape shouting the N-word. He later apologized.
Campbell considers
touring in 2013
Glen Campbell may be wrapping up a goodbye tour but that doesn't mean he's done with the stage.
Campbell is considering scheduling more shows next year after playing more than 120 dates in 2012.
The 76-year-old singer has Alzheimer's disease and has begun to lose his memory. He put out his final studio album, "Ghost on the Canvas," in 2011 and embarked on the tour with family members and close friends serving in his band and staffing the tour.
Campbell's longtime manager Stan Schneider said that recent West Coast shows have been some of the singer's strongest. Campbell will break for the holidays and if he still feels strong he'll begin scheduling more shows.
Muniz recovering
from mini-stroke
Actor Frankie Muniz said he's recovering after being hospitalized last week when he suffered a "mini stroke."
The former star of "Malcolm in the Middle" said he was treated Friday for a "mini stroke," which he describes as "not fun at all."
He said he has to "start taking care of my body. I'm getting old!" But he provided no other details.
Muniz turned 27 Wednesday.

Ample: Modern Furniture Made in Seattle
- Location: Seattle & Online
- Specialty: Handcrafted modern furniture
- Price range: $$
- Website: amplefurniture.com
Store History
- Founded: 2010
- Founded by: Andy Johnson
- Headquarters: Seattle, Washington
... People I talked to couldn't find the furniture they wanted. They found themselves bored with the traditional designs at the big stores and discouraged by the prices at the boutique design stores. More than one confessed to ending up at a certain Swedish mega retailer on the premise that if they couldn't find the right piece of furniture, they would spend as little as possible on something to fill the space.Those are the words of Andy Johnson, explaining the inspiration for Ample. His solution to the furniture conundrum was to design his own. His line may be limited to a few pieces at this point, but each is beautifully executed. The Sfelt coffee table features a removable felt wrap (banishing coasters forever!). The Solstice Floor Lamp is available in both floor and table sizes. All pieces are made from american black walnut, an American sourced wood, and finished with a plant-based oil/wax mixture originally formulated for wood floors.

(Columbus) --- Reginald A.

Cuts force agency to create Meals on Wheels waiting list
The federal budget cuts known as sequestration have forced central and midcoast Maine's Meals on Wheels program to start a waiting list for the first time in its 40-year history.
AEF: Also I think it is important to note that this is a one on one debate now. The stage is not occupied by several candidates fighting for the office. Clinton is accustomed to this kind of debate, but will be Trump's first time. If he ever wanted to be behave "presidential", NOW is the time, because most people will not take kindly to the explosive side of his character and will be watching his behavior very closely. These debates could make or break Trump, especially for the undecided like me. I am not for or against either candidate and just want them to act like adults, stick with the FACTS, don't make them up and/or embellish them as they go along and MOST importantly behave like adults that qualify for the POTUS.

Lycoming County commissioners on Thursday approved a $262,900 consulting contract with Mechanicsburg-based Delta Development Group that aims to help secure grant funding for county projects, according to officials.
Kurt Hausammann, county planning and community development director, said the firm will seek funding from state and federal sources.
He said the county doesn't have specific plans at this time for any grant money that may be obtained.
"What we do not do is go get grant money and think of a project to do," Hausammann said.
"They're a great asset to the county," he said of the firm. "The money they bring in helps save local tax dollars. It's a win-win for the county with this contract."
Commissioners also approved an agreement that will allow the county to collect Montgomery Borough taxes. Thomas D. Heap, county tax claim director, said that municipality's tax collector resigned at the end of last year due to a relocation.
The county will be paid $1 for each bill collected, Heap said.
An additional deputy sheriff was added to the ranks. Commissioners approved the hiring of Martin J. Forsburg and Michael A. Caschera as full-time sheriff deputies. One of the positions fills the vacancy of retiring Deputy Sheriff Timothy Nelson, while the other is a new position, according to Lycoming County Sheriff Mark Lusk.
Lusk said the additional position was needed to assist in the increasing number of inmate transports and other courthouse and civil duties deputies carry out.
Commissioners appointed N. Randall Sees as the county's solicitor at an annual salary of $48,000. Assistant county solicitors appointed were Robin A. Read, Benjamin E. Landon, Heather R. Willis, Levi I. Woodward, J. David Smith and E. Eugene Yaw at hourly rates of $110. Attorneys Austin P. White and Jason L. Wiemann were appointed as assistant county solicitors at hourly rates of $100.
Attorney Ryan M. Tira was reappointed as a special counsel for personnel and labor matters at an hourly rate of $110.

Catcher Chris Widger, the pride of South Jersey's Pennsville High, dresses now in the uniform of the most famous team in professional sports history - the New York Yankees.
If there is pressure that accompanies wearing the same pinstripes as Ruth, DiMaggio, and Mantle, Widger is immune.
Losing a loved one, you see, has a way of putting things in perspective, a way of making baseball - even playing for the Yankees - seem oh, so trivial.
"It makes the game seem not as important," Widger said the other day.

Aurora programme
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (April 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Aurora programme (sometimes called Aurora Exploration Programme, or simply Exploration Programme) is a human spaceflight programme of the European Space Agency (ESA) established in 2001. The objective is to formulate and then to implement a European long-term plan for exploration of the Solar System using robotic spacecraft and human spaceflight to investigate bodies holding promise for traces of life beyond the Earth.[1][2]
Member states commit to participation in the Aurora programme for five-year periods, after which they can change their level of participation or pull out entirely. In the early years the Aurora programme planned for flagship missions and arrow missions for key technology demonstrations, such as Earth re-entry vehicle/capsule and Mars aerocapture demonstrator. Although human spaceflight has remained a long-term goal of the programme, with some basic technology development in this area, the thrust has been on implementation of the ExoMars mission and preparations for an international Mars sample return mission.[1]
The first decade is planned to focus on robotic missions.
Flagship missions[edit]
ESA describes some Aurora programme missions as "Flagship" missions. The first Flagship mission is ExoMars, a dual robotic mission to Mars made in cooperation with the Russian Federal Space Agency (Roskosmos). It will involve development of a Mars orbiter (ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter), a technology demonstrator descent module (Schiaparelli lander) and the ExoMars rover.[3]
Flagship missions considered for the Aurora programme include:
- ExoMars, consisting of an unmanned Mars orbiter and lander launched jointly with the Russian Federal Space Agency in 2016 on Proton rocket with Fregat upper stage.
- ExoMars rover launch to be conducted jointly the Russian Federal Space Agency in 2020
- a robotic Mars Sample Return Mission by the mid-2020s
- a human space mission to be launched in the mid-2030s
Arrow missions[edit]
|This article needs to be updated. (November 2010)
Arrow missions are technology demonstrator missions focused on developing a certain technology needed for the Flagship missions. Approved Arrow missions so far (as of January 30, 2003):
- Earth re-entry vehicle/capsule, a step in the preparations for the Mars Sample Return mission.[citation needed]
- Mars aerocapture demonstrator, to further develop the technologies for using a planet's atmosphere to brake into orbit. This particular mission seems to have been revised into an expanded mission to demonstrate "aerobraking/aerocapture, solar electric propulsion and soft landing" to be launched in 2020.[citation needed]

The proposed Aurora roadmap[4] (as of September 30, 2005. This roadmap can, and most likely will, go through revisions):
- 2014 – Human mission technologies demonstrator(s) to validate technologies for orbital assembly and docking, life support and human habitation[citation needed]
- 2016 and 2020 – ExoMars rover to Mars. The scientific objectives include exobiological studies as well as study of the surface of Mars.[5]
- 2024 – Human mission to the Moon[citation needed]
- 2026 – Automatic mission to Mars[citation needed]
- 2030s – First human mission to Mars, as a split mission. The proposed Ariane M rocket may be used for this landing.[citation needed]
The human part of the programme has been challenged by the main ESA contributors (France, Germany and Italy), making it quite possible that the whole Aurora Programme will be refocused on robotic-only exploration of Mars.[citation needed]
