People rarely work in isolation. But it's not always easy to meet in person to work on a project. Connecting online can be done from almost anywhere. The collaboration possibilities run the gamut from passing a Word document back-and-forth via e-mail to holding a multiparty videoconference.
Read on to learn how a variety of online collaboration tools are helping college and university administrators execute projects more efficiently.
Over the past two years, Arizona State University has opened two new schools at its campuses in the Phoenix area. But these educational additions are not training future social workers, lawyers, or business executives. They'll be turning out qualified future college students, many of whom—ASU officials hope—will populate the state's universities years from now.
At Abilene Christian University in West Texas, technology managers were struggling with an outdated email system. While providing basic service, it lacked advanced functionality and was time-consuming and expensive to maintain. in addition, the full-time email administrator's position had recently become vacant.
Kevin Roberts, chief information officer at ACU, knew it was time for a change. "We were disenchanted with our current email system," he says, adding that the system servers were outdated, expensive to maintain, and were running out of space.
The 53-campus system includes seven state universities and 25 community and technical colleges offering more than 3,500 programs to 374,000 students and 140,000 continuing career education enrollees. With campuses five to six hours apart, Karen Bergmeier, ITS project lead- er and Cisco WebExTM solution liaison, found herself traveling four to five hours two to three times each week to conduct training on the system's proprietary software.
THE FIRST WORD THAT SPRINGS to mind in conjunction with the phrase "liberal arts education" is not "technology." In the 21st century, however, it should.
Historically, liberal arts colleges have not placed a heavy emphasis on technology, either in the curriculum or as a teaching tool. But we hit a tipping point earlier this decade on liberal arts campuses. Not a single young person on our campus can remember life before the internet. If we don't teach even our most traditional courses—humanities, history, literature—using today's technology, we are probably failing as educators.
JULY 1 WILL MARK THE START of the new budget year in most institutions across the country. Nothing new, as that's the regular budget cycle of higher education. But new this year are the deep cuts some budgets have undergone due to the economic situation.
THE CALL CAME IN AT 9:22 P.M. ON THURSDAY, APRIL 2, FROM THE Radford University (Va.) EMS team, an all-student, volunteer rescue squad, that there had been a fatal shooting just one block from campus. Dennie Templeton, who directs the school's Office of Emergency Preparedness, remembers the time exactly, because within 15 minutes he had set up an emergency operations center (EOC) to interact with the outside responders who were fast arriving at the 9,500-student school.
NEARLY 100 YEARS AGO, when North Carolina was still a largely agricultural state, North Carolina State University President Daniel Hill described its mission as developing students who can "skillfully and unhesitatingly lead the industrial progress of our people." His comment speaks to NC State's historical commitment to driving the state's economic growth.
Today, with a bow to our school colors, we express that spirit in slightly different terms: "Red means go!"

Kashli Ehmann, who didn't wake up until at least 8:30 a.m. during the summer, didn't have that problem Monday morning. The third-grader at Coronado Elementary School woke up well before her 6:35 a.m. alarm.
"I woke up this morning early and said, 'Is today the first day of school?' It is — hooray!'" she said.
Her younger brother, first-grader Haze, didn't quite share Kashli's enthusiasm, but the first day for school in the Amarillo ISD and other school districts for many was a big one. In front of Coronado, grandmother and guardian Debbie Gilter took her grandchildren's picture.
"You know, I think it's neat just to see their excitement to get started on a new year," Gilter said. "The first day of a school year is such a marker in kids' lives."
Carissa Nichols and third-grade daughter Mattie sat on a bench in front of Coronado at 7:40 a.m., waiting a few more minutes before Mattie went inside.
It was already an eventful morning. In addition to two sons leaving on their own for Amarillo High, dad Kirk Nichols had to be driven to the hospital for knee surgery after an injury while running.
"Didn't plan that one very well," Carissa said.
Mother and daughter were both dressed in pink tops, which wasn't planned either.
"It's about new teachers, seeing which old friends you will have in class and making new friends," Carissa said. "And she will have a great teacher (Melynn Freeman)."

Clindamycin Clindamycin has been reported to result in mild to moderate sildenafil buy generic elevation of aminotransferases without jaundice in up to 40% of patients receiving this antibiotic. Hepatitis with transient jaundice during the intravenous administration of large doses of clindamycin has been described in one patient (215). The severity of concomitant sepsis, however, was a confounding factor in ascertaining the causal relationship. H. When serum aminotransferase levels are increased to less than three times the upper limit of normal, the treatment may be continued but the biochemical abnormalities should then be monitored at shorter intervals.
When serum aminotransferase levels rise above three times the upper limit of normal, the antituberculous therapy should be stopped. After serum aminotransferase levels have return to normal, or are less than two times normal, isoniazid may be reintroduced at a lower daily dose, in combination with another antituberculous drug, except rifampicin and pyrazinamide, known to be also hepatotoxic.
These can sildenafil buy generic act directly on hepatocyte membranes to induce damage. In support of this possibility is the finding that administration of a PAF receptor antagonist reduces tissue injury induced by endotoxin (371).

10k fun begins
By Patty Kruszewski, Citizen Managing Editor 01/30/12
At 40,000 participants and still growing, it's no wonder that the homegrown Ukrop's' Monument Avenue 10k has moved into the national spotlight – even earning a USA Today ranking among the top 10 races in the country.
But as several of the event's biggest fans emphasized at a Jan. 4 kick-off celebration, the 10k is much more than just a race – or even just a single event.
When you consider all the preparations that go into the weeks leading up to the March 31 race – the training team workouts, registration rallies, fundraising promotions, costume-designing and party-stop planning – it's clear that the 10k is months in the making, with aspects of party, charitable benefit, self-improvement regimen and music festival combining to provide an ongoing celebration.
It's also clear that having fun reins supreme.
Among the 10k fans at the kick-off event at Maggiano's, for instance, were Becca Hankins and her group of uninhibited friends, who have participated in the Richmond Times-Dispatch Dress Up & Run Contest for the past three years. Their costume entries have included stints as the Pac Man Group, the RVA Curling team, and most recently, as a team of paddlers wearing cardboard kayaks and pretending to stroke their way down the course.
Among other fans were four staff members from lululemon Athletica, the Short Pump Town Center athletic wear retailer and yoga boutique.
At last year's 10k, the women drew smiles from spectators and runners alike with their entry in the Spirit Contest, which challenges groups of spectators to cheer on participants in the most energetic, enthusiastic and entertaining way possible.
As former Washington, D.C., attorney Carolyn Manning said at the Maggiano's event, dressing in tacky costumes and waving silly signs [see photo above] came naturally to members of the lululemon staff, who see their store as more of a resource center than a retail outlet. Offering regular free yoga classes and a running club, the store has legions of loyal fans – one of whom called recently on an business trip to Richmond.
Jordan Marotta, a former college field hockey coach, quoted the caller as saying, "I'm in town for a conference. Where can I do yoga?"
The fact that the woman called her local lululemon store instead of consulting her hotel concierge, said Marotta, speaks volumes about the following that lululemon has achieved – offbeat name and all.
"We're like the e. e. cummings of athletic wear," said Manning of the uncapitalized lululemon name, which originated in part from an Asian tradition that the letter L brings good luck.
Talking trash
For Holman Middle School teacher Justin Brittle, the 10k provides an opportunity to have some fun interaction with his students in ways that can't be accomplished in the math classroom.
"I teach because I enjoy kids," says Brittle, who led Holman to a second place finish in the middle school category of the 10k Healthy School Challenge. "I'm not teaching because I'm a mathematician."
From 2008 to 2010, Brittle coordinated the Healthy School Challenge (in which schools compete based on the percentage of total enrollment that participates in the 10k) at Short Pump Middle School. Under Brittle, SPMS consistently finished near the top of the middle school division; but after Brittle moved to Holman, his new school edged out his former school for second place in the very first year it was open.
The competition between schools, however, is not nearly as important to Brittle as seeing the students challenge themselves personally.
"Some of them start off [saying], "I can't run six miles,'" he says. "It's a good distance, because it's somewhat challenging, but doable. And they can be proud of themselves for doing it."
What's more, says Brittle, the 10k challenge is a good community builder within the school; he enjoys drumming up interest in registering and seeing the students' reactions to his announcements and email updates.
"I almost harass a lot of people," he said with a laugh, noting that about 20 teachers run in the race in addition to students. "I'll say, '[We have] 30 signed, [we have] 50 signed up. The kids start talking about it. As soon as they're registered, they can't wait to tell me."
Some students, he added with a smile, enjoy challenging him in return.
"They say they're going to beat me [in the race]," said Brittle. "They talk a little bit of trash."
Sights and sounds
Once a school reaches 50 registrants, racers are eligible for customized t-shirts that bear the school name – a step up from the generic 10k t-shirt. Brittle also sends a paper running shoe to every student who registers, which can be decorated as the child wishes and added to a banner at the school. He makes sure to slip a few educational tidbits into his email updates as well, from nutrition tips in the early weeks to 10k etiquette lessons as the race approaches.
"I remind them," he said of the students, "that they're representing our school."
One of his favorite things about coordinating the 10k, Brittle pointed out, is that he gets to meet other members of his students' families. "I might not have taught their brother or sister, or they weren't in my class, but they come to the 10k."
Another bonus is the prize money garnered by both Short Pump and Holman for placing near the top in the Healthy School Challenge competition. One year at Short Pump M.S., Brittle was able to use the $400 to buy a disc golf set for the physical education department.
But the real prize money goes to the Massey Cancer Center, which has reaped thousands from the 10k's Massey Challenge over the years. Kaity Kasper, whose Hodgkin's disease has been in remission for nine years now, was among the Massey representatives to tell her story at the preview event at Maggiano's. After years of treatment at Massey Cancer Center, she now serves on the board and runs the 10k, and at press time had already raised $1,280 toward this year's Challenge goal of $500,000.
So on March 31, as runners and walkers make their way down Monument Avenue amid historic statues, towering old trees, and classic Southern homes, some spectators will surely come for the festive atmosphere. Some will come to cheer on their favorite Holman student or teacher or yellow-shirted Massey runner. Some will come to see if this year's amusing signs from the lululemon Spirit Group will top last year's, or if Becca Hankins' Dress Up and Run group can
top last year's clever kayaks.
But whether spectators come to play cheerleader or simply to enjoy the live bands and party stops, one thing is for certain: there will be no shortage of sights, of inspiration, or of entertainment at Richmond's biggest block party.
Registration forms for the 10k and the Virginia 529 Kids Run are available at http://www.sportsbackers.org. Entry forms are also available at all Martin's locations and YMCA branches.

The city of Birmingham's cooling station opened at 10 a.m. in Boutwell Auditorium. The facility which is open, from 10 to 5 p.m. is intended to allow people to stay cool and avoid outside temperatures that are expected to reach about 98 degrees today.
Boutwell will also be open on Sunday. People are allowed to come and go
as they please, said Don Lupo, director of the Mayor's office of
Citizen's Assistance. Cold water is provided.
The National Weather Service reported that by 10 a.m. today temperatures
had already reached 88 degrees. The central Alabama region was placed
under a heat advisory for today and Sunday.
The high in Birmingham peaked at 96 degrees Friday. Officials said the month of July is on track to finish the day as the hottest since 2000.
Also this afternoon, volunteers with Mission Birmingham will be at
Boutwell delivering ice cream to the people using the shelter. While
deliveries of food are commonplace to area needy, Lupo said the ice ream
has been a popular and rare treat. The group also arrived at the center
last week , providing a sweet escape, Lupo said.
"When they delivered the ice cream it was like the Fourth of July,
Christmas and all that rolled into one," he said. "They really
appreciated the treat. They get food, but how often do they get to enjoy
a quart of ice cream?"

HTC 10 will allegedly have "World First, World Class" camera on front and back
In a marketing tagline worded just clumsily enough to merit a second read, HTC has announced that their new device, the HTC 10, will have "World First, World Class" cameras on both the front and back of the device. With claims like that, it looks like we can expect the smartphone to be a first class, first world device.
World First, World Class, Front and Back.
You'll see. #powerof10 pic.twitter.com/pnGQ5Lf3Wf
— HTC India (@HTC_IN) March 15, 2016
"HTC 10" isn't the handset's official name, but company execs did tease that the 2016 device would be released soon when they spoke at Barcelona at MWC in February. They also noted that the device's design would focus heavily on the camera, which many HTC fans met with a sigh of relief. The most recent entries to the company's M-line have been pretty lackluster in the camera department, and plenty of long-time HTC fans who were also photography aficionados were starting to gaze into the greener pastures of Samsung and LG.
Don't miss:
- HTC 10 review: the comeback we've been waiting for
- HTC 10 is official: release date, specs, features, and more
If the HTC 10 will in fact have a "World First, First Class" camera, that means it's going to have to topple the current contender, the Samsung Galaxy S7. The Galaxy S7 might not look like much with its 12MP stat, but tucked away under the hood is a revolutionary dual pixel technology which has never been used on a mobile device before. This increases visibility in low light settings and makes all images crisper and clearer. It has been called the best camera on the mobile market today, so HTC has a steep slope to climb.
What we do know is that it looks like they'll be using the Sony IMX377 sensor (which you might recognize from the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P). No complaints there by any means, but they'll have to juice up that sensor pretty hard to meet the claims they're making. What's more is that HTC seems to be implying that they will be using this sensor for both the front and the back of the device. Traditionally, selfie-snappers have been lower-quality cameras than their rear-facing counterparts.
What do you think of the this smartphone's alleged "World First, World Class" camera? Do we already have world class cameras on the mobile market, or could the company have a real game-changer up their sleeve? Let us know what you predict in the comments below!Next: HTC One M10 rumor roundup: release date, specs, and features14
- Sammy Phillips
Sounds ominously vague in an "Ultra Pixel" way.
Well around back you get the 6P sensor with added OIS and a better lens. On front, the theory is that it's the first front facing camera to include OIS.
- Sammy Phillips
I don't really care what's on the back or the front. I care about HTC coming up with stupid marketing slogans that don't make sense.
- Aki I.
Don't make SENSE. ha!
It makes plenty of sense, they're basically just saying that the cameras are great and will stand up to every other flagship.
- Blane Stroud
Seems hard to believe they'll have a better camera than Sony or Samsung. Who would even provide sensors for a phone camera that good? Besides Sony…
- David Onter
It's the same sensor as in the Nexus 6P, that's already confirmed. With OIS.
- Kurgan
Sony makes great sensors, doesn't mean they make good cameras. As far as high-end devices go, sony's cameras are mediocre at best when compared to samsung and lg
- legendlord4751
Its kinda funny, when Sony has some of the best dslr cameras in the world, but their smartphone cameras aren't up to par
- Jesus
Besides Sony? Samsung.
S6 / S7s come with either Samsung's ISOCELL or Sony's sensors… Users can't tell them apart.
- Jackson Veliz
as far as i know, samsung s7 has 12mp not 14mp
- David Onter
Yeah, it's a mistake.
- John Dye
You're correct! Fixing it.
- Anup Singh
still not fixed. jus saying.
- xnay
If this is the same sensor as in the 5X and 6P that means it's nothing revolutionary, quite an old sensor. If it doesn't have the PDAF focus then it's dead on arrival because this thechnology makes focusing so much faster in the S7 and other devices.
- David Onter
It's the same sensor, but it has OIS which the 5X & 6P don't have.
- Daggett Beaver
Yeah, but the 5X and 6P get the latest stock Android first.
–Nexus fanboys
- Horus Jarilo
IMX378 = IMX377 with pdaf, LF, OIS, f1.89
- xnay
So there's hope! But the article here says it's the 377 in the M10 so let's hope it's wrong.
- 1213 1213
Seems like pointless rhetoric but I'm sure they have something up there sleeve. It will probably just be the best selfie camera or something.
On a slightly unrelated note, the android sphere has been pretty interesting over the last few months. With declining profits there has been a lot of restructuring of everything from management to product lines of all the major brands.
For one, I believe they will implement a great camera in both hardware and software (image processing). I mean they really don't have the space to slip up this time around.
Secondly, I'm glad if they do decide to amp up the front-facing camera. As years go by, and social media has grown and so many use video chatting apps, and picture-based social media platforms like instagram, snapchat, and the like that are known to be filled with selfies, seems pretty ridiculous that very few if any manufacturers have tried to upgrade the tech of the front-facing camera. I have faith in HTC.
Lastly, if they execute both cameras well, I wil return back to being a Loyal HTC advocate and consumer.
- Daggett Beaver
So HTC is going to compete with LG's marketing strategy of "let's sell a camera with some phone features"?
- Daggett Beaver
This is what I think about when I see so much emphasis on phone cameras…
- Eric
As a millennial with a 6 month old daughter, the camera is the most important feature for me.. But the pic still made me laugh
- Anon
What does being a millennial have to do with it? Surely, 'as a parent with a 6 month old daughter' is more apt…
Taking photos didn't become popular after 2000 ya know ?
- Marawan
Because Daggett's comment was about millennials
- Johnny Dwyer
Good for you on being a proud papa. But I think it's an absolute joke when people believe the camera on a PHONE should be the most important factor. I mean who cares if it has good antennas for signal strenth, who cares if the battery can last more than a few hours, who cares about good performance, who cares about call quality right? As long as the " phone " takes top quality pictures. I mean of course everyone wants there phone to take good pictures. But if that's the most important feature for who ever, here's a bit of advice, BUY A GOOD CAMERA!
- Anon
? too true, tho that hasn't been HTCs style to date. Anything better than M7 camera which I'm currently using is an improvement so I don't mind.
I'm genuinely starting to get a bit excited about new HTC 10, think it's gonna be awesome
- PaulC
You use your phone for what you want, I'll use mine for what I want. If you think a smart phone is still a "phone" first, then you need to wake up. Some say "If I want a great camera I'll buy a real DSLR", I say "The best camera is the one you have with you". If the one I have with me is crap, then I might as well not have it.
- Johnny Dwyer
I need to wake up, lol! Mine will always be a phone first along with most people in the world. Only douchebag's don't use it as a phone. My phone rings at least 25 times a day and I call out about half that. You know why, I have friends and a great family. Your obviously an ass and people don't find the need or joy to want to associate with you. You must be one of those dorks who spend all day pulling out your device trying to capture something on video. First and foremost these are communication devices to most of the world. I need to wake up my ass. Enjoy spending your days with JUST your device my man. I can't stop laughing because of all the jokes I hear about people like you, turns out its really true, hahahaha.
- vahdyx
I wouldn't really categorize these 'phones' as phones anymore. They're more like computers with a phone app. It's not a "phone" anymore. It's primary function now a days is data. It's an portable internet machine. Hell even your phone calls are digitized now. If you use a smart phone for calls primarily then good for you, but I use my phone for everything else; media consumption, email, research, social, sms, IM, photos, videos, navigation, etc.
I personally don't think it's that ludicrous to want a smart phone to take good pictures, I personally don't think it's wrong to want a smart phone to have good speakers. I personally don't think it's weird to want your phone to do it all.
To me your mentality is, "Can't take a photo with my phone because I have a DSLR at home" or "Can't use my phone for GPS, because I have a GPS in my car" or "Can read emails, play games, watch movies, or use the internet on my phone because I have a power computer at home"
Seriously it's the stupidest mentality I've ever seen. "Want a good camera, go buy a good camera" well to you sir, want a good phone, go buy a fucking phone. You don't deserve a smart phone.
- Juan S.
But you're the one acting like an anti social douche…putting a stranger down because he doesn't use his device the way you like it. You must be a fun boyfriend, "babe, quit taking selfies, it's a phone! Buy a camera for that!" "Babe you don't eat pizza like that" "babe that music is garbage, listen to this instead".
Just by the way you express yourself I can tell what type of guy you are. ….
- Mark Mann
i dunno…it seems to me you just called it a smart "phone" …so it would make sense to use it as a phone…it's not a smart "camera" or a smart "gps"…it's a smart "phone"
- Eric
All the top flagship makers produce phones which are about equal in every area you just mentioned. There are very few areas these days which actually differentiate phones outside of personal taste for a certain OS or physical design.
Whether its Apple, LG, Samsung, or the newest Nexus, I know I am getting a good phone. So yea when I am trying to decide between the current well reviewed flagships, the camera is something that will stand out. With how good cameras on phones are these days, it doesn't make allot of sense to buy another camera, especially when most photos I take are not planned. Most pictures I take are spur of the moment.
I should note that I prefer large phones, so battery life which use to be a biggie for me is no longer a worry. They all have large batteries.
The best camera is the one you have with you. When that camera quality improves, everyone wins.
- Juan S.
For me camera and display are the top things I look at, if my phone takes mediocre pictures I get annoyed because I take tons of them, that's the reason I couldn't stand the note 4 and left it for the 5 despite the sacrifices and not looking back
- iPhonehasspamandmalware
we have all seen the same sensor in random phones, all are tuned differently with different results. they either have a google of employees coding the camera software….or IOS really improves the lens THAT much. I'm calling BS with a hint of "ultrapixel rhetoric".
- Steven Fox
Xiaomi opted for the best OIS on the market, but not the best quality of photos, Samsung opted for the best Low Light shots, but again skimmed on the quality. We are yet to see how the LG G5, Huawei P9(probably with Laica lenses, very excited)and the new Sony X line will perform compared to what HTC will offer, and what S7 and Mi5 are currently offering.
- Jerry Rich
How exactly did Samsung "skimmed on the quality"? You might have to wait for the Sony Xperia Y line to find a better camera than what's on the S7.
- Johnny Bravo
Actually the 4 Axis OIS what Xiaomi opted for is a real BS. Either they would've ruined it while implementing that or they might've over exaggerated about it. If you see the OIS test videos of MI 5 in youtube then you will get to know the jittery ness of the camera. Its the worst OIS I've ever seen. Disappointed like hell
- RunningGreat
Samsung has the best Camera atm. Xiaomi is not even close.
- Hel Thanatos
Selfies have no reason to be detailed
- Gliff
I'm getting a strange feeling HTC took some advice from someone over at AMD's marketing department and decided to hype up a very mediocre product
- Jerry Rich
I thought the HTC One M8 had the worlds best camera, at least that's what all the HTC fanboys were saying at the time. Of course in reality the camera was proven to be crap.
- Jake
Yeah, the Ultra Pixel camera sensor used in the HTC One M8 was allot of crap! Personally, I think Samsung's own ISOCELL sensor is probably one of the best mobile device camera sensors available on the market right next to the one developed by Sony.
- Jesus
That's indeed true, since the S6 / S7s come with either Samsung's ISOCELL or Sony's sensors… Users can't tell them apart.
- Johnny Dwyer
No one said it had the world's best camera. People said it had a good camera to go along with the world's best device. So I don't see anything wrong with people making that claim. Only a fanboy of a different manufacturer would disagree with that fact.
- vampyren
As usual HTC makes one thing better and removes or degrade other features.
So far I'm excited about LG G5 thanks to SD card plus removable battery. Only wish it had at least 64GB. Waiting also for note 6 and next one plus to see how good they will be before upgrading.
- Kibs
I believe htc will bring out a wow phone this time or else they'd have to forever hold their peace
- gusto5
Introducing the successor of the ultrapixel, the hyperpixel camera!
- Rishu Agrawal
They have been saying this in variegated forms conjoining keywords from the tech jargon, since 2012 and for all I know, the cameras in all the HTC flagships that I have used thus far have been downright awful in comparison to what other OEMs produce. So, I will believe HTC only when I see it. At this point, this marketing gimmick does nothing for me.
- Anthony Rintala
The HTC One M8 was the best phone of 2014, the only phones that rivaled it were the G3 and Xperia Z3.
- –
You are fucking moron…
- Rishu Agrawal
No, it wasn't. It's biggest flaw was again it's underwhelming duo camera which turned out to be a dud in comparison to what the competition had.
- Anthony Rintala
I could care less for camera, and it gets the job done. I can take better pictures than my father's Note 4 if I go into Manual mode on my M8. Except for zoomed in shots. Bit performance wise nothing stood up to the M8
- Anthony Rintala
It was the best by FAR. Camera was actually good if you went into manual mode. Lots of features included too.
- jasonlowr
Meh, still a copy of iPhone and samsung home button. Don't try to be fancy all that htc
- Anthony Rintala
The only part of this that looks like an IPhone is the front, but the back is entirely HTC. If this leak is even real. Many phones have front home buttons, just because one phone has it doesn't mean it's a copy.
- Jake
I agree! Besides android phones which have a physical home button usually have capacitive recent apps and back buttons next to them.
- Jesus
"Many phones have front home buttons"
If you're talking about squarish ones, then you mean Samsung… or Chinese clones. …and now this random HTC.
- Anon
so now samsung owns patents to "squarish" shapes for buttons? (you mean rectangle)
- Johnny Dwyer
Don't matter what shape it is Samtard, Samsung put a home button there to once again mimic Apple. So it's ok for them but not for HTC. You seem to know so much yet you failed to mention LG also uses the same home button.
- Johnny Dwyer
Yeah and Samsung devices are a COMPLETE copy of the iphone and the IPHONE is a copy of HTC M7 and M8, so what's your point?
- Ferro
HTC been making premium phone for a long time must cause u didn't have HTC before u think its a copy of iPhone and Samsung but the fact is iPhone and Samsung copying HTC making premium kind of phones but surely not to HTC's level. I will still buy HTC m10 purely for the reliability and premium feel and looks of HTC not just the camera but if it's gonna have the best camera aswel then that's the bonus.
- Jim Smith
360° VR camera for virtual phone calls. You heard it here first.
- Sun Sand
I am just happy it will ship with USB C port (Samsung is pretty lame).
- devilreaper
So it is a 12 mp camera with OIS with PDAF and the DTI feature like the Mi 5 along with laser autofocus which is powered by a separate soc and dedicated RAM. The flash would be a RGB flash like the lumias along with a dual tone flash for the front. Anyone interested?
- Sbvff
Great but we still want stereo speakers this is what people expect from a HTC phone.
- Johnny Dwyer
I do agree, big disappointment! They just can't seem to figure out how to use front facing speakers while getting rid of the black bars and big bezels. If someone, ANYONE for HTC would just pay attention to those concept designs they would have a hit. Sony already started to use that design with the speakers towards the top. Wake up HTC before it's too late, you don't have to make your phones look like the iphone in the least bit.
- Rohit Raja
Yep…them claims begin, after they actually see somebody, for once, do better. Dont fall short HTC….
- monsterdonutkid
I'm really hoping this is true. They tried to market UltraPixel in 2014 as this new, revolutionary mobile camera technology that would blow the competition out of the water. It turned out to be crap. Double crap. Here's to hoping that HTC really steps up their game this year.
- Shane
The Galaxy S7 might not look like much with its 12MP stat, but tucked away under the hood is a revolutionary dual pixel technology which has never been used on a mobile device before.
LMAO never heard of "Ultra pixel" huh??☕
- chillgreg
2 different things entirely O.o
- Robino J Jenkins
Too late for me I have already jumped ship to the Samsung Galaxy Edge S7. I have been rocking with HTC since the HTC Touch & HTC Diamond days. However after the cameras in the HTC One M7 & M9 I could no longer wait.
I love the camera on Galaxy S7 series. Feels nice not having to ask someone with an S6 or iPhone 6 to take a picture because my M9 is crap lol.
Much luck to HTC though, I think this is a good lesson for any OEM pay attention to your market and listen to the overall consumer response so you can immediately address any discourse with them.
- David Martrano
Agreed listening to consumers is the thing to do. HTC, LG should listen more and their products would be much better. Samsung did and the edge is leading the pack. Lg has a 2800 mamp battery but at least it's removeable but then again who wants to carry a spare and modules. I don't. The 10 is overpriced no wireless or waterproofing yet the price is 700.00. No way jose!!! These companies pay the price for being stupid besides HTC hasn't had a good phone since the M8. The M9 should have been the 10! Do they need a bolt of lightning to strike before they LISTEN !!!!
- neural_physics
I really doubt the m10 will have a better camera than the s7. It I'll probably have a great camera, but there is just no way it will have a better camera than the s7, especially if it's using the same sensor as the 6p, which has a much lower quality camera than the s7.
- Žydrūnas
I hate how they rejected front-facing stereo speakers and well-crafted design in order to match other mass designs of smartphones instead of concentrating on fixing what's actually broken—camera quality and poor GPU.
- Juan S.
HTC has been kinda bad at cameras, I don't expect much which is good because low expectations are easy to beat. ..but with the s7 being so good. ..I don't see anything other than idle claims by a dying company to capture any hype it can
I really really like HTC. Please don't screw this phone and you might win me back!

Bye-bye Money
Now, let's write a program that can send money from an arbitrary Bitcoin address. To create a new bye-bye-money program, run the following from your top-level program directory:
mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=byebyemoney -DartifactId=bye-bye-money
-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false
Then, make the exact additions to the pom.xml file as we did in the hello-money example in Part 1 of this series, except for the line that reads <mainClass>hellomoney.App</mainClass>. Change that line to <mainClass>byebyemoney.App</mainClass>.
(These steps are analogous to those we followed for our hello-money program in our article "Introduction to bitcoin programming").
Just as before, open the file src/main/java/byebyemoney/App.java and replace its contents with the following program:
package byebyemoney;
import com.google.bitcoin.core.;
import com.google.bitcoin.store.;
import com.google.bitcoin.discovery.DnsDiscovery;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
import java.io.File;
import java.math.BigInteger;
public class App
public static void main( String[] args )
throws BlockStoreException, AddressFormatException,
InterruptedException, ExecutionException
NetworkParameters params = NetworkParameters.prodNet();
Wallet wallet = new Wallet(params);
DumpedPrivateKey key = new DumpedPrivateKey(params,
BlockChain chain = new BlockChain(params, wallet,
new MemoryBlockStore(params));
PeerGroup peerGroup = new PeerGroup(params, chain);
peerGroup.addPeerDiscovery(new DnsDiscovery(params));
BigInteger balance = wallet.getBalance();
System.out.println("Wallet balance: " + balance);
Address destinationAddress = new Address(params,
BigInteger fee=BigInteger.valueOf(10000);
Wallet.SendRequest req = Wallet.SendRequest.to(
req.fee = fee;
Wallet.SendResult result = wallet.sendCoins(peerGroup, req);
if(result != null)
System.out.println("The money was sent!");
System.out.println("Something went wrong sending the money.");
Many of the lines in this new program are shared with our previous hello-money program, but let's look carefully at the new parts.
Importing a Private Key:
To send money from our program, we need to import the private key of the Bitcoin address from the previous example. Here is the code that does this:
DumpedPrivateKey key = new DumpedPrivateKey(params,
BlockChain chain = new BlockChain(params, wallet,
new MemoryBlockStore(params));
In the first lines, we're explicitly adding a new, preexisting private key to our wallet. This is the key associated with the Bitcoin address that received the money in the hello-money program. You need to replace the private key shown on this line with the private key you wrote down when running the previous example. Also, in this new program we're not using the SPVBlockStore function; instead, we're using bitcoinJ's MemoryBlockStore function for variety. This block store won't create a file, but by using it, our program will need to re-download the blockchain every time the program runs. (This also guarantees that bitcoinJ will assign the correct balance to the wallet. We'll discuss why in later part of this tutorial.
Sending the Money:
Now let's look at the code that actually sends the money:
BigInteger balance = wallet.getBalance();
System.out.println("Wallet balance: " + balance);
Address destinationAddress = new Address(params,
BigInteger fee = BigInteger.valueOf(10000);
Wallet.SendRequest req = Wallet.SendRequest.to(
req.fee = fee;
Wallet.SendResult result = wallet.sendCoins(peerGroup, req);
First, we get the balance contained in the wallet and display it. Next, we declare the destination address the money should be sent to. In this example, we input a non-sense address; feel free to substitute a public address of one of your own wallets.
Nowadays, it's best to include a transaction fee when sending bitcoins, which we declare to be 10,000 satoshis. Next, we create a SendRequest object, which is a structure to hold the basic information about what we're sending and includes the destination address and the amount to be sent (which is the balance minus the fee). Then, we set the fee on this object and send our money!
Ensuring the Money Transmission:
If we try to send more money than we have, if the fee is inadequate, or if the Internet connection drops out at the wrong moment, the money might never be accepted by the network. Therefore, we need to write code that waits and ensures that the money we sent is transmitted to the network. Here's what we'll add to do this:
System.out.println("The money was sent!");
The first line of code retrieves a Java future object, which indicates that the send transaction has been properly broadcast to the network. (A standard in Java, futures retrieve information about a separate execution thread in this case the thread that monitors communication with the Bitcoin network.) If this line completes without throwing an exception, we display a message indicating that the money was sent.
Running bye-bye-money:
We can run bye-bye-money in the usual way (remember to input your own private key):
> mvn install
> mvn exec:java
BlockStoreException: This is thrown when the block store cannot be created (most commonly, this happens with block store types that write to a file when something corrupts the file).
AddressFormatException: This is thrown when the format of the address is incorrect.
InterruptedException: This is thrown when network connection problems occur.
ExecutionException: This is thrown when we're using a future object and an exception occurs in the other thread (as happens when we check for completion of the transaction broadcast).
In a more sophisticated Bitcoin app, you should catch all of these exception types separately and add more descriptive error messages for your app's users.
Because this program churns through the blockchain in memory, you'll need to wait a few minutes or more for it to complete (even when you rerun it). If the program is successful, you'll see the message The money was sent!, and the money should arrive at the destination wallet. You can also access a blockchain information site (such as http://blockchain.info/), enter the source or destination address, and see that the details of the transaction are part of the public record.
Congratulations! You now understand the basics of writing a Bitcoin application!
To the novice, the way wallets and the BlockChain object work in bitcoinJ can be very confusing. If you don't fully understand bitcoinJ's behavior, bitcoinJ can also report incorrect wallet balances.
This happens because bitcoinJ is optimized around the concept of an SPV blockchain. The performance benefits of SPV blockchains were discussed in Part 1 of this series, but because they contain only limited blockchain data, you need to follow a few basic rules to ensure they work properly for you in bitcoinJ:
- If your app's wallet already has money in it, bitcoinJ needs to know the amount before the blockchain is downloaded from the network.
- After the blockchain is loaded, bitcoinJ will perform the necessary tasks to ensure the wallet's accuracy as new transactions appear on the network.
- If you use a block store type that supports saving to a disk file, your app is responsible for saving the wallet to a file, as well (it is also responsible for loading the block store and wallet data).
As you saw when we constructed a BlockChain object, bitcoinJ expects the app to pass in a wallet object. This allows the wallet to be updated when relevant historical transactions are found in downloaded blocks and allows rule #1 to be enforced: Be sure not to add additional keys to your wallet after the fact and expect your wallet to work without redownloading the blockchain.
Similarly, when we initialized the PeerGroup object, we called addWallet() to add our wallet to the peer group. By doing so, bitcoinJ keeps the wallet balance in sync with any new transactions that appear in the Bitcoin network as the program is running, enforcing rule #2.
To make sure rule #3 is adhered to, you can use the Wallet.loadFromFile() and Wallet.saveToFile()functions. A Wallet.autoSaveToFile() function is also available that can help with loading and saving the block store and wallet data. To learn how to use these functions properly, look at the example programs in the bitcoinJ repository.
If you keep the previously listed three basic tenets in mind, you'll avoid most of the pitfalls that accompany mastering bitcoinJ.
We hope you've enjoyed this tour of bitcoinJ programming, and we look forward to seeing any awesome new apps that you build. After all, the app you build just might completely reinvent how people interact with their money in the Internet age!

Texas Exorcism Case Goes to Washington
With the Christmas season lingering, there's one fellow who's been left out of the merriment and good tidings. A certain fellow with horns and a pitchfork. And he seems to be doing whatever he can to snatch a bit of the spotlight, as evidenced in an exorcism lawsuit that might be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The case centers on Laura Schubert Pearson, a Dallas/Ft. Worth-area girl who is suing members of the Pleasant Glade Assembly of God, who performed an exorcism on Pearson in 1996, when she was 17. Pearson said the freakiness ultimately caused her to attempt suicide twice. The Texas Supreme Court ruled in June that the church folk are protected by First Amendment rights. Pearson's attorney says that religious beliefs don't trump things like "assault" and "false imprisonment."
As far as anyone can tell, this would be the first exorcism case reviewed by the Supremes. If only someone had taken the time to document Pearson's two-night Satan-slappin', like in the case of Anneliese Michel, a young Catholic woman who died in Germany in 1976, after her parents called in some priests to exorcise her demons. Thankfully, Michel's parents and the priest had the foresight to get the horrible suffering on tape! This case made it to court in Germany - and ultimately Michel's parents and the priests were found guilty of manslaughter. There's one more thing they're guilty of: providing the world with one of the most terrifying audio recordings imaginable. Why not give the devil his due and take this one out for a spin?

Brief SummaryRead full entry
The Small Samoan flying fox, Pteropus allenorum, is an Old World fruit bat known from a single specimen that was probably collected by H.C. Caldwell in April 1856 at Apia, a harbor and settlement on the island of Upolu, Western Samoa, West Polynesia. The species was described in 2009 based on the broken skull and poorly preserved skin of an unsexed subadult specimen discovered in 2006 at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (Helgen et al. 2009).
This bat may once have been distributed across Samoa and adjacent archipelagos but is now probably extinct (Helgen et al. 2009).

More About:
Ranchers, cattle owners, veterinarians and other interested persons are encouraged to comment on TexasŌĆÖ proposed regulations to control Trichomoniasis, or ŌĆ£trich,ŌĆØ a venereal disease of cattle that causes the early death of fetuses and abortions, resulting in infertility in cows and extended breeding seasons in a herd. The comment period for the proposed regulations by the Texas Animal Health Commission will end January 30, 2009.
ŌĆ£Trich infection often occurs when a producer unknowingly introduces into the herd a trich-infected bull, which in turn, infects cows during breeding. Likewise, infected cows can transmit the disease to ŌĆścleanŌĆÖ bulls, creating a cycle of disease. Cattle experts say that the extended breeding seasons, loss of a percentage of the calf crop, and strung-out calf crops resulting from trich infection can cause up to a 20 percent loss of herd income,ŌĆØ said Dr. Bob Hillman, TexasŌĆÖ state veterinarian and executive director of the Texas Animal Health Commission, the stateŌĆÖs livestock and poultry health regulatory agency.
ŌĆ£In the absence of a national trich control or eradication program, all western states, except Kansas and Texas, have taken regulatory action to prevent the introduction of infected bulls, and to control the spread of this cattle disease within their states,ŌĆØ said Dr. Hillman.
ŌĆ£After being approached by the Texas cattle industry regarding the need for Texas trich regulations, the 13-member governor-appointed TAHC commission appointed a working group of cattle industry, veterinarians, university and allied representatives to provide recommendations to the TAHC on the components and implementation strategy for a proposed Texas Trichomoniasis Program. The working group met in September and made recommendations to the commission on the components of a proposed trich program. A proposed Texas trich program has been developed from these recommendations, focusing on breeding bulls,ŌĆØ he said. TAHC commissioners are seeking public comments on the proposed trich rules, which will be published in the Texas Register by November 28, 2008, so the input may be considered prior to their February 24, 2009, commission meeting in Austin.
ŌĆ£The Texas Trichomoniasis Program, as proposed, would roll out in two stages,ŌĆØ explained Dr. Hillman. ŌĆ£The first stage could go into effect in late March 2009 and would place new entry requirements on bulls entering Texas from other states. Breeding bulls would have to be officially identified and certified as virgin bulls, or be tested negative for trich within 30 days prior to entering Texas from any state. Bulls could be certified as virgins until they were about 18 months old, as evidenced by the eruption of permanent incisors, and accompanied by a breederŌĆÖs statement that the animal had not been commingled with heifers or cows. Bulls entering Texas without certification as virgin or proof of negative trich tests would be restricted to sale or movement for slaughter only.ŌĆØ
Culturing the trich organism is the ŌĆśgold standardŌĆÖ for testing bulls. In nearly all states with regulations, accredited private veterinary practitioners must be certified to collect a sample from the bull, and the laboratories must be approved to conduct trich tests, Dr. Hillman explained. The system specified for Texas is the InPouch, which allows for the sample to be collected, then incubated in the pouch. The cultured sample is microscopically examined while it is still in the pouch. Another test, the Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction test (RT-PCR) also be can run on the incubated sample.
ŌĆ£According to the proposed regulations, all the non-virgin bulls in a herd could be tested at the same time, and if results are negative, this single test would be sufficient for Texas import purposes for any of the bulls in the tested herd,ŌĆØ said Dr. Hillman. For individual bulls not part of a whole herd negative test, three consecutive negative culture tests would be required, at least seven days apart; or two negative RT-PCR tests performed at least seven days apart.
ŌĆ£One positive test indicates that the bull is infected,ŌĆØ he said. In most states, a positive-test bull may undergo a confirmatory test before being classified as infected and restricted to slaughter only.
ŌĆ£Repeated tests are needed on individual bulls, due to the difficulty in collecting the tiny trich protozoa from the surface folds of the infected bullŌĆÖs reproductive organs. Oftentimes, a second or third attempt is needed to either assure the absence of trich, or to capture the organism in the collection pipette, so it can be cultured,ŌĆØ explained Dr. Hillman. ŌĆ£If an entire bull herd is tested, statistically the disease, if it is present, should be detected on a single test of all bulls in the herd.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£There is no effective treatment for infected bulls. To halt the spread of disease, these animals should be culled. As infected bulls age, they become persistently infected, as the surface tissues of the reproductive organs become more hospitable to the growth of the trich protozoa,ŌĆØ explained Dr. Hillman.
ŌĆ£On the other hand, most infected cows can recover from the disease,ŌĆØ he said. The trich protozoa, which can colonize in the vagina, cervix, uterus and oviducts, will clear, if the animals are given three to four heat cycles of sexual rest. A small percentage of cows will not clear, and these cows should be culled. A cowŌĆÖs disease status can be identified through a veterinary examination of the reproductive tract.
Under the proposed regulations, trich would become a reportable livestock disease in Texas, requiring both negative and positive test results to be reported within 48 hours. Acquiring negative data is as important as positive results when determining the prevalence and distribution of the disease within the state. This information would be invaluable for determining the future direction of the program,ŌĆØ he explained.
The second phase of the proposed Texas Trichomoniasis Program would be effective no earlier than September 2009. Prior to changing ownership in Texas, breeding bulls within the state would be required to be officially identified and certified as a virgin bull or undergo the testing process for trich. Infected bulls would be restricted to slaughter, or movement through a livestock market to slaughter.
ŌĆ£This second phase would fulfill the program objective to stop the spread of trich within the state,ŌĆØ said Dr. Hillman. ŌĆ£When infected bulls are removed from the picture, the disease cycle can be broken.ŌĆØ The negative trich tests for Texas-origin bulls would be valid 150 days, provided the animals were not commingled with female cattle from the date of the test until being sold.
As proposed, said Dr. Hillman, the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratories in College Station and Amarillo would serve as the official laboratories for the program, and Texas accredited veterinarians could be certified to collect the samples. The bullŌĆÖs owner or seller would be responsible for costs associated with virgin certification or testing of bulls. Laboratory fees are about $5 for the InPouch culture test and $25 for the RT-PCR test.
ŌĆ£When the commissioners proposed the regulations, they wanted to allow ample time for the Texas cattle industry to prepare for implementing the second phase of the trich program,ŌĆØ said Dr. Hillman. ŌĆ£This is a new disease program, so time also is needed to provide information to Texas accredited veterinarians, who must be familiar with the program requirements, testing and reporting procedures, and documentation.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£To ensure that the trich program continues only as needed, the TAHC commissioners added a final, very important caveat to the proposed regulations,ŌĆØ said Dr. Hillman. ŌĆ£The proposed Texas Trichomoniasis Program would undergo an annual review by a Trichomoniasis Program Review Working Group, which would consist of representatives from the cattle industry, veterinary college and profession, university and the TAHC.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£We are available to discuss trich and the proposed program regulations at industry, producer or veterinary meetings, classes or association gatherings,ŌĆØ noted Dr. Hillman. To arrange for a speaker, contact the nearest TAHC area office or call the TAHC Public Info Office at 800-550-8242, ext 710.
In addition, a fact sheet is posted on the TAHC web site, and the text of the proposed TAHC regulations will posted on the TAHC web site after November 28, 2008. This information also can be faxed, emailed or mailed upon request by emailing email@example.com or calling the TAHC Public Info Office at 1-800-550-8242, ext 710. Written comments regarding the proposed trich program regulations must arrive at the TAHC no later than January 30, 2009. Comments may be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com, faxed to 512-719-0179, or mailed to: TAHC Comments, Box 12966, Austin, TX 78711-2966.

Two magazines highlight week
This is an exciting time here at the Gazette as we publish two glossy publications this week that we think you will want to keep.
Inside today's paper you'll find the 24-page glossy Winter Sports Preview. Now that football is almost over, we've turned our attention to basketball, soccer and the cheerleading squads are New Albany High School, the East Union, Ingomar, Myrtle and West Union attendance centers in Union County, and Hickory Flat.
Donica Phifer, our sports editor, shuttles between the schools getting pictures and doing preview stories on all the teams, and puts them together in a magazine-style section that has been a big hit with athletes, their parents and relatives. Let us know if you need an extra copy or two.
In three glossy keepsake sports sections a year, we include all of the high school sports in which our children participate, and we've gotten strong support from local businesses for the idea. We hope you will thank the participating advertisers for making them possible.
Coming in the paper Friday is the fall/winter issue of New Albany Magazine. We're starting our third year of publishing this 84-page magazine that has become a winner, both with you and with our peers in state and national magazine competitions.
We've got a challenge for you right on the bright green-and-red holiday cover. We bet you can't figure out what we've photographed without looking inside. Let me know if I'm wrong.
Inside there's a lot of focus on food. First, staff writer Angie Barmer got six local homemakers to share their recipes for favorite holiday treats, and she photographed the mouth-watering results.
If you're not a cook, you'll want to try Gazette Managing Editor David Johnson's picks of favorite local restaurant sandwiches. Called "Burgers and Beyond," his photos and stories made me hungry.
We went in search of what we call "cheer leaders" at our area schools. No, we're not talking about the girls in their uniforms. They're important, but we wanted to recognize some fans who are there at the high school basketball games year-after-year. We asked the schools for some names, and we asked each of them a few questions about their many years of support.
Doyle Caviness, local photographer and writer, tours the antique-filled cottage-style home of Lee and Mark Buskirk on New Albany's east side.
My wife, Jenny, gets credit for the idea for our weekend getaway and day-trip stories. Why not do the two Savannahs, Georgia and Tennessee? she asked.
Why not? Shawndra Russell, a Savannah, Ga., based writer who does work for Forbes Travel Guides, planned a three-day getaway to her city for you, and Doyle Caviness spent time writing and photographing nearby Savannah, Tenn.
And, at the back of the magazine are 17 pages of Angie Barmer's popular snapshots of people at area events.
We hope you enjoy reading, and keeping, our magazines as much as we enjoy doing them for you.
T. Wayne Mitchell, Gazette publisher, can be reached at 662-534-6321.
