text: News for the Week of September 21, 1998September 21, 1998Situation Worsens In KosovoMSF is increasingly concerned about the campaign of terror and forced displacement currently facing the population of the Serbian province of Kosovo. Systematic destruction of villages by Serbian forces is preventing Kosovars from returning to their homes. MSF is operating mobile medical relief teams throughout Kosovo to provide basic medical care to the displaced populations hiding in the mountains and forests and emergency care to those injured by the shelling. As winter approaches, MSF is extremely worried about the lack of progress toe end the fighting and about the growing need for medical care and shelter for 250,000 displaced ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. Sudan Famine Relief Efforts EnhancedMSF teams continue their efforts to battle the famine ravaging southern Sudan. New supplies and personnel and improved water and sanitation systems are allowing us to increase the admission criteria for severely malnutritioned children entering our 15 feeding centers in southern Sudan. In addition, MSF is actively seeking ways to decrease the numbers of defaulters -those admitted to feeding centers who are unable to complete the therapeutic or supplementary feeding programs for a variety of reasons, such as the distances of centers from their homes. Mortality rates remain unacceptably high and, despite the current relief measures, in recent weeks, for every 10,000 people under surveillance, an average of 4 to 12 people are still dying every day in south Sudan. Bangladesh Flood Relief Efforts ExpandedMSF is increasing its activities in the flooded areas of Bangladesh. A doctor, nurse, and logistician arrived this past week to reinforce the teams already in place. Working in collaboration with local doctors and nurses, MSF is providing medical care in five crisis centers north of the capital, Dhaka. Measures are being taken to prevent diarrhea and measles. Although falling water levels in the Siraghanj district have made it more difficult to reach flood victims by MSF boats, oral rehydration points have been set up on embankments where 15,000 people are currently living. New AIDS Information Line in Cuba SuccessfulA call-in AIDS "hotline" started by MSF became operational in Havana, Cuba on September 1 and is already receiving approximately 45 calls per day. Callers have sought information about AIDS and other STDs as well as undesired intimacies at work and sexual violence in the home. Two MSF psychologists have trained 15 volunteers to answer telephone queries. Various Cuban media outlets have publicized the phone number and calls have come in from all over the country. Plans are underway to extend the service to the evening hours to accommodate more callers. The AIDS information line is part of a larger AIDS information and coordination center and awareness campaign that MSF is launching in Cuba. Teams Return to Work in AfghanistanThe first MSF international volunteers are returning to work in Afghanistan after having been evacuated for security reasons in August. Teams are returning to projects in Kandahar and Herat, where according to local staff, the situation is peaceful. "We're raring to get back to our field work," says medical coordinator Helen O'Neill. Since the evacuation, MSF projects in Afghanistan have been operated by local personnel and local partner organizations. Tags: Kosovo, Sudan, Bangladesh, Cuba, HIV/AIDS, Afghanistan |

2010-2011 Teaching Excellence Award Recipients
The Undergraduate School
Sarah Felber
Since 2005, Sarah Felber has been a versatile UMUC faculty member, teaching not only undergraduate fundamentals, cultural anthropology, linguistics, and advanced writing and grammar courses but also academic writing for graduate students. Her teaching philosophy is that each course is an opportunity to open students' minds to a new understanding of writing and their relationship to it. For all students, she aims both to develop skills and to modify attitudes about writing and grammar. Students have repeatedly noted her enthusiasm for language and learning and are particularly grateful for her continued exploration and use of multimedia in providing timely and thorough feedback. In particular, she uses Jing, a software program that allows students to hear and see recordings of her while she annotates their papers on the computer screen. She also models good writing techniques by sharing her thought processes with her students so that they can see the steps she takes in asking questions, drawing conclusions about language, and approaching the editing process. Felber shares her passion and enthusiasm for her discipline beyond the classroom and supports her UMUC colleagues through service as a faculty peer mentor. She also has led discipline discussions regarding course revisions and other important School of Undergraduate Studies initiatives. She continues to strengthen her professional skills through participation in faculty development workshops and other learning opportunities.
Felber received her PhD in linguistics from the University of Connecticut.
Sharon Levin
Sharon Levin began her teaching career in fall 1992 and has taught courses in accounting principles and intermediate, cost, and international accounting. She recognizes that her teaching philosophy is a work in progress as it continues to adapt to students' ever-changing needs while integrating new learning theories, teaching resources, and technology to enhance student learning.
Once thought to be the most ethical profession by many, accountancy has been tarnished by the unethical behaviors that surfaced in a few notable scandals. Levin requires that her students participate in discussions directly related to professional ethics to demonstrate that maintaining an ethical approach to business is mandatory, even if one is coaxed by unscrupulous leaders or enticed by the potential for extraordinary financial gains.
Her students frequently note that they succeed in learning because of Levin's dedicated energy, consistent involvement, and determination to help them understand challenging concepts in a difficult course. She provides leadership to other faculty in the accounting department by serving as a course and final exam chair, faculty peer mentor, and course development team writer for the first online international accounting course.
Levin received her EdD in organizational science and development from The George Washington University.
The Graduate School
Stuart Hardy
Stuart Hardy began teaching for UMUC in 1998 in the environmental management program. He has been instrumental in revising and expanding online courses in this discipline, particularly in environmental communications and reporting, and in environmental/energy law and policy development. His teaching philosophy focuses on first increasing the comfort level of his students, especially for those who are nervous about returning to the classroom after many years. Students have noted and responded well to his down-to-earth style of teaching and his efforts to broaden their horizons while participating in lively classroom discussions and debates.
Hardy goes the extra step in providing support to his colleagues through his participation in faculty development initiatives and the successful five-year program accreditation review process conducted by the University System of Maryland Board of Regents. Thanks to his efforts to benchmark the program and curriculum against 17 similar programs in the United States, UMUC's environmental management program was designated a Council of Graduate Schools' Professional Science Master's Program.
For these efforts and his consistent support of colleagues and students, Hardy is an example of professional teaching excellence. Hardy received his PhD in modern British history with a minor in modern Russia from Georgetown University.
Linda Smith
Linda Smith began her career at UMUC in 2002. She teaches a broad array of courses, from intercultural communication and leadership and organizational theory and behavior to managing people in technology-based organizations. Her diverse background includes conducting ethnographic research, writing about global leadership and collaborative inquiry, and presenting at professional conferences, as well as her current work conducting research in rural southern India with women as leaders of community adult education. Smith's background enriches her online and on-site classrooms, and her first-year graduate students respond with increased motivation and a greater sense of empowerment in their own lives and careers.
Smith is committed to excellence in examining how management is treated as a subject of academic inquiry and analysis. She has supported the needs of the administration of the Graduate School of Management and Technology by participating in the revision of three graduate courses in her discipline. Faculty members have also benefited from her knowledge and expertise in her role as a faculty peer mentor.
Smith received her EdD in group (team) learning for organizational settings from Columbia University.
UMUC Asia
Stephen Garrigues
Stephen Garrigues is a professor at Kyungpook National University in Daegu, South Korea, where he has been teaching since 1986. He received a BA in Japanese history at Sophia University in Tokyo, and an MA from Colorado State University and a PhD from Lucknow University, India, both in cultural anthropology. He has spent most of his life in the Asia-Pacific region, including 7 years in Japan, 4 years in India, 6 years in Tonga, and more than 25 years in Korea. Dr. Garrigues began teaching with UMUC Asia in 1985 and has taught a variety of anthropology, sociology and Asian studies courses, both in Korea and via the Distance Education program. His research interests are in intercultural communication, comparative semantics, and ethnomusicology. In addition to his academic work, Dr. Garrigues is a passionate photographer.
Nancy Matton
Nancy Matton earned a BS in biology from Cornell University, an MA in genetics from Harvard, and a PhD at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks. She has a passion for teaching the sciences and feels that giving students the knowledge and the skills needed to interpret the world around them is an essential part of a college education. She has taught biology and chemistry at a number of universities over the past 18 years and began teaching with UMUC Asia in Yokota in 1993 and continues today via the Distance Education program. As the spouse of an active-duty Air Force member, she feels that she is able to personally relate to the lives and challenges faced by many UMUC Asia students. Currently residing in the Philippines, Dr. Matton enjoys yoga, is an ardent supporter of local organic agriculture, and last but certainly not least, is mom to 10-year old twin daughters and a 3-year old son.
UMUC Europe
Michael Apichella
Dr. Michael Apichella describes his approach to teaching with a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Be an opener of doors for such as come after thee." Motivated by his own inspiring and dedicated teachers, he always knew he wanted to be a university professor.
Prior to joining the UMUC faculty in the United Kingdom in 1986, Dr. Apichella had spent time in England studying as a foreign exchange student and working as a Fulbright teacher. He became enamored with British history and enjoyed walking in the footsteps of many of his literary icons. When the chance arose to teach for UMUC Europe, he didn't hesitate.
After more than 25 years with the university as a collegiate professor, Dr. Apichella says he has learned much from his military students, especially about perseverance, time management, and healthy patriotism. "Working with our students is what I enjoy most about my job. I am proud to be part of a talented faculty nurturing the next generation of America's business leaders, IT experts, executives, and administrators."
He is still connected with many former students, often writing reference letters on their behalf, and is glad that his work with UMUC helps so many students during and after their time in the military. "I'm a man of few regrets, but one I have is that I never put on the uniform. Serving military students is one way for me to serve my country in a way I didn't have the chance to when I was younger," he said.
A widely published award-winning writer, Dr. Apichella's passion for writing was ignited 30 years ago when he was hired to write a weekly column for the Wheaton Daily Journal. He has been involved with journalism and writing fiction since then. About receiving this award, he expressed, "I feel humbled, energized, and grateful. I am indebted to UMUC for creating this opportunity and to my students who make my life a joy. Thank you."
Dr. Apichella earned an MA in communications from Wheaton College and a PhD in English and creative writing from the University of Wales.
Deborah Griggs
"Central to my philosophy of teaching is respect for the experiences, identities, and perspectives of my students, as well as understanding what I am asking of them: trust and patience," says Deborah Griggs who has been teaching English, speech, and humanities courses with UMUC Europe for the past 30 years.
Ms. Griggs first started teaching introductory writing classes with UMUC in Greece. Since then, she has traveled widely with the university serving as a collegiate associate professor in U.S. military communities in Kosovo, Bosnia, Italy, and Djibouti. Although she doesn't have a permanent address, she welcomes new experiences and enjoys the opportunity to explore diverse locations.
Having supported herself through college, Ms. Griggs understands what it means to work hard while earning a degree. In her years as a student and professor, she has enjoyed being with students who are "wrestling with life at the same time they are wrestling with ideas." She places a strong emphasis on communication, especially between individuals and groups that have differing values. Encouraging students to argue their points in class, she believes that open exchange can allow fresh ideas to emerge. As a professor, she feels it is important to "be yourself, be honest, be challenging, and let yourself be challenged."

They were an odd couple, but could not help themselves.
Sarah's friends disapproved, saying Brian was dull and boring.
Sarah laughed, muttering under her breath: if you only knew ...
They dated casually, then formally, and then moved in together, off campus.
When they broke up a few years later Sarah's friends were very much- told ya so.
But she was probably depressed, at least for a while, like Brian was.
I don't know for sure, not being Sarah.

Louise Erdrich Biography
Louise Erdrich is one of the most gifted, prolific, and challenging of
contemporary Native American novelists. Born in 1954 in Little Falls, Minnesota,
she grew up mostly in Wahpeton, North Dakota, where her parents taught at Bureau
of Indian Affairs schools. Her fiction reflects aspects of her mixed heritage:
German through her father, and French and Ojibwa through her mother. She worked
at various jobs, such as hoeing sugar beets, farm work, waitressing, short
order cooking, lifeguarding, and construction work, before becoming a writer.
She attended the Johns Hopkins creative writing program and received fellowships
at the McDowell Colony and the Yaddo Colony. After she was named
writer-in-residence at Dartmouth, she married professor Michael Dorris and
raised several children, some of them adopted. She and Michael became a
picture-book husband-and-wife writing team, though they wrote only one truly
collaborative novel, The Crown of Columbus (1991).

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I came from a non-english native language contry,the China,but never felt uncomfortable in here,also was my daughter!She's very glad to go school at the begining,even if she cound'nt know English mostly.Mrs Jorgensen,her teather,the danish,so nice,kindly and patiently with these kids.All of my family are becoming more love it,the kingdergaten,the teatheroh,anything of here.
It's a shame that some would downplay the excellence of this school. It is highly ranked every year and the principal is fantastic. Many of the teachers have been there for decades and they do show respect to students and parents. For every disappointed parent there is a majority of satisfied and realistic parents who know that this is the best elementary school in Memphis. If you want a real-world, optional school education minus the offensive private school tuition, Grahamwood is the perfect place for your child.
Grahamwood is an excellent school.When we moved from another state and from a private school,we had a lot of concerns about the school..but after we have been extremely pleased and more than satisfied with the academics at this school .y son goes to the optional program and loves it,the CLUE program is wonderful and there are always exciting field trips.This is a great public school and has a lot to offer to parents looking for enriched academics!
I agree with the parents who acknowledge that this school is just hype. Being one of the best Memphis City Schools is not saying much. Children are not treated with respect by many teachers and the Principal is non-responsive. Teachers put on the hype but do not follow up with action to prove their capabilities of bringing out the best in a student. I would not recommend this school. I would recommend a county school or most of all a private school especially this day and age.
The Grahamwood optional program has been 'home' to our three children since 2003. Two have gone on the White Station Middle and High Schools and our youngest will graduate from the elementary school this coming year. We've been extremely impressed with the academics, the diversity of the student body, the intense participation of parents and, for the most part, all of the teachers. By far, the strongest component has been the CLUE programs which each of my children has loved. The caliber of work (not to mention the volume of work) is extremely high. Budget cuts at Memphis City Schools have been tempered by more parental involvement and campaigns -most successful- that ended up sparing jobs. Don't know what the future holds but thus has been an outstanding choice.
The school is an excellent school. The leaderhsip provided by Mr. Ware, former principal and Mr. Johnson have helped this school maintain it's stellar reputation.
Grahamwood's optional program is outstanding. My daughter received a first-rate education during her years there. Graduates of Grahamwood go on to become top students in area public and private schools. The educational, organizational, and social skills she received while at Grahamwood helped lay a solid foundation.
It is just a city school. There is lots of hype with the optional programs. Students are just average compared to other county schools in Germantown, Collierville or Lakeland. I moved my son last year back to Arlington and I have to say, Grahamwood is not as good as others claim. They do have some programs but nothing that you can find in other county schools around. Like with all other city schools with poor management, I am concerned about the future of this school
The optional program is excellent. The new principal is doing a great job so far and we are very impressed with the teachers. You can't get much better in the city of Memphis or Shelby County unless you pay through the nose.
The optional program is outstanding. The teachers love their jobs and show it with their enthusiasm. The teachers feel that the new principal is providing they want, but also gladly accepts input from the staff. We have been at Grahamwood for three years and each year seems to get better. Clue is exceptional.
My husband and I were so excited when we found out that our children were going to Grahmwood. One finished last year and with two more to go we are looking for other options. The CLUE program is terrific but the rest of the school leaves a lot to be desired. The school has been a steady fall from expectations since we began. We are leaving at the end of this year if we can endure it until then. We are having to home school our children after school to keep them interested in school at all. No we are not pleased at all and do not recommend Graham wood at all.
It is a shame that the test scores for the Option Program for this school can not be presented separately from the whole. I think then you would see why Grahamwood has a 4 out of 5 by parent rating, but only a 3 by test scores. While I have rated the principal leadership as low, we are expecting a great improvement with the new incoming principle.
We are just starting out with Grahamwood and have been very impressed with the level of teaching in the optional program and the PTA is fantastic.
Mr. Ware deserves a A+ rating. Most of the teachers are great. My child has made a complete turn-around since being enrolled in this school.
I must say that this school is exceptional. The principal has an open door policy and will talk to any and all parents. The teachers are demanding and have high expectations. The school faculty and administration can't be faulted for many of the issues mentioned by other reviewers. Many students are left off at the school as early as 7:15 a.m. -- the school starts at 8:15 a.m. After school supervision is superb.
I have been very disappointed about our experience at Grahamwood. The counselor is overwhelmed and the principal in unconcerned and will not even bother to return phone calls. My son's teacher is very commited to teaching, but her classroom is overcrowded and the expectations that are placed on her are unreasonable. The children are not sufficiently supervised in the mornings before the school bell rings or in the afternoons once school is released. It's only a matter of time, before a child is seriously hurt.
After interviewing several private and public schools, we made the decision to send our child to Grahamwood and never looked back. The academic enrichment program is excellent, the extra curricular chess club is 2005 State Champion, and the Gifted and Talented(CLUE)program is the best in the state. The leadership of the school is excellent and on any given day you will find at least 20 parents somewhere in the school building helping tutor, assist teachers or the library. The school welcomes parental involvement with open arms. This should make any new parent much more comfortable in starting off a first grader into the 'real world'. It is an diverse, multicultural school and has its own privately funded fine arts curriculum for all students attending Grahamwood. In addition, Federal Express is our corporate sponsor and gives generously. Grahawood is rated top Elementary School by Memphis Parent Magazine for 2004.
My daughter just completed sixth grade out of the optional program in Grahamwood. She had a wonderful six year period here -- the teachers are outstanding, the CLUE program is fantastic, the two principals she had during the period were excellent, and above all the PTA involvement has to be seen to be beleived. The school has an excellent chess program as well.

The higher cap drives are 7200RPM. that's correct. but remember - RPM is mainly for latency, not bandwidth. if your workload is not incredibly seeky, then you don't want to pay for latency, since higher density leads to lower cost, bigger disks, higher bandwidth and slower seeks. in summary: - meet your reliability requirements using raid. it's insane to think about relying on a single disk in any non-ephemeral setting anyway. raid lets you achieve pretty much any reliability you want (as well as offering a broad spectrum of performance.) - meet your seek-rate requirements using RPM. I find very, very few applications are really seek-limited - really it's only very databases with uniform-random distribution of reads of tiny data from monumentally large tables. in particular, if there's any data locality or reuse at all, spend money on RAM not RPM. - for anything large, get MTBF specs for prospective disks. this lets you calculate how often you'll be replacing hardware, physically. your raid has taken care of data robustness; this is purely a maintenance issue. there's no dramatic difference in any of the families of disks available (well, avoid 1yr warranties, of course!). consider, for instance, that you can easily build raids based on 300G SATA disks that have half as many moving parts as with 147G SCSI disks. even if the MTBF's differ by 50% (guess 1.0 and 1.5 Mhours respectively) SATA is more reliabile. it'll probably also be 1/4 the price and sometimes actually faster. regards, mark hahn.

Using performance and have anyway the nation's largest and the longest running auto show is kicking off today out in Chicago and dodge is bringing in the Mossad Jeff Flock is standing by the company C president.
-- We have got focus this that he a year on Chrysler because -- on -- run you know Chrysler and all their products -- that is by the way the viper.
That is a hand built sports car -- people even know the Chrysler makes that a hand built sports car 640 horsepower -- just got truck of the year they've got a big unveil later but this hour we wanna focus on dodged.
And I've got.
The man who runs dodge -- big -- here with.
-- introducing a new challenger that's up.
Powerful vehicle -- challenger red line -- one inch wheels in the classic challenger look you guys are on a roll -- yours your Super Bowl commercials were big.
You know you had a great year.
This by the way powerful car did you not see that news about the gas prices going up that we did go to solvable building cars that consumers want to -- still there's a lot of consumers who wanna buy cars.
That have a little personality to them there you go very good and speak and which -- -- around here as -- -- the role what's going on you guys are getting whipped.
Real hard by your boss -- of Marchionne everybody's working real hard.
This Dodge Dart he said was a little bit of -- disappointment even though last month you had a record sales month.
Last month was our all time high since we launched a car over 7000 darts were sold and talk about a counter -- with challenger.
Because one of the great things about the dart is 41 miles per gallon.
And the -- is still very much ramping up and continues to receive awards it's picked up 27 -- so far.
Tell me this yesterday use signed -- deal.
To create Chrysler capital you'll have your own won't you don't make your own loans now how big -- deal was statue in terms of sparking -- Bullets it's important to have a competitive finance company in your in your corner and we've had a great relationship with ally financial.
And which were -- that relationship will continue throughout April 30.
And then have a new relationship with us Santander there subtle form Chrysler capital going to -- you control for do you make loans to.
Very much so and obviously in purchasing an automobile -- 9% of them require financing and having a competitive finance sources critically important obviously the company had its own competitive finance before and that didn't go well.
What is still at this time stop you from making loans to people probably should now.
Well I think this time were able to leverage the balance sheet of really are a world class banking institution with a first rate credit rating.
And by doing that we will be able to offer financing to consumers.
That is not only category worried.
But also make it available to a lot of people who were.
Have had a difficult time over the past couple of years in getting along -- point a tell you a guy says the auto industry has really led the recovery.

ReVeRsE PsYcHoLoGyOfeveryonewe'vehadin Rock Sound over the past year – such shrinking violets as Skrillex, Asking Alexandria and Black Veil Brides – I've got the feeling that Ronnie Radke – enjoying his first ever cover in the UK – and Falling In Reverse might just blow them all away in terms of controversy. It's been ages since rock had a figure as divisive and exciting as he is, and Andy Ritchie's stellar cover story doesn't let him off lightly; rather, it takes us on a journey from the darkest parts of his life right through to the present day. And what a story it is – with Ronnie there's no need to hype or exaggerate, because his life really is that crazy. Ben Patashnik, Editor exaggerate, because his life really is that crazy.

Given that the Olympus' 4/3rds Zuiko system is pretty much out of the question (don't get me started on the digital focus ring - it breathes heavier than a dirty phone caller)... Where does the OM Zuiko system stand?
I'm not sure how many out there have OM Zuiko lenses, but I imagine those that do, would be interested in using them on a Red.
If Nikkor's and Canon's are viable, I can't see why Zuiko's aren't... Mechanically, the focus rings have little breathing, the aperture is mechanical...
So, the question I guess, is how do we test the viability of a lense system on Red? Is it literally a case of waiting for the camera to arrive, and getting a mount custom-made (fingers crossed the image is good)?

U.S. Fish and Wildlife seizure Black-Faced Impala vs Common Impala
I posted about a year ago concerning my hunt and the problems I had with my PH. I finally got all my animals but one. My animals came into the Houston port. U.S. Fish and Wildlife seized my Impala claiming it to be a Black-Faced Impala. My Impala was killed in Kwazulu-Natal province of SA. It looks nothing like a Black Faced Impala. Apparently USF&W seized three Impala out of the same container. All killed by three different hunters in SA. All killed in different areas. I now am required to file a Petition for Remission and may still lose my animal. I never knew what a Black-Faced Impala was until this came about. I have researched and discovered Black-Faced Impala are only found in NW Namibia. Most likely at least 1000 miles from where I hunted. Anyone else have this problem?

Do you have a picture of your Impala that you would like to share with us? Did you provide the U.S. Fish and Wildlife with one? I believe you can ask them to do a genetic test...
Here is a Black-Faced Impala taken in Namibia...
Here is a Common Impala taken in Namibia...
Some Common Impala can also have a black ban down their nose, although usually lighter and not very prominent it can resemble a Black-Faced Impala... Here are some examples...

Hi Houston49 I would ask to have it geneticly tested as Jerome has pointed out they can look very much alike with the same kind of markings just a little lighter here is a Common Impala taken by my wife in South africa it has very good markings but it is no Black Faced Impala.
Enjoy life now -- it has an expiration date.

Samsung Stratosphere Details |
1-10 of 10 |
by Eric -- February 21st 2012 -- Hamden, CT
I love this phone!
I switched from the android-based LG Ally because of the load/lag time, limited space, and limited memory. The Samsung Stratosphere is 100x better! It's super fast with no lag time when switching screens or switching between apps. I\'ve downloaded a ton of apps including Vlingo (siri-like voice commands), Facebook, Netflix, and Pandora, and they all run great. I love the included Task Manager, which eliminates the need to download a task-killer from the market. It also includes Quik Office which allows you to view, create and edit Office documents from programs like powerpoint, word, excel, and Adobe Reader. The calendar and alarm clock are both excellent as well. The screen is clear and bright and although the battery is just OK, it's comparable to other 4G Android phones.
by KLynn -- December 21st 2011 -- Birmingham, AL
I actually like this phone a lot. It is my first smart phone. The display is great. It is clear and crisp. I don't have any problems with it lagging between menus as others have suggested. I have not had a problem with it locking up or shutting down. The call quality is great. The keyboard is great even though it is a little hard to work because the phone is big. I don't use it (the keyboard) nearly as much as I thought I would, coming from an LG EnV3. The battery life seems to be pretty average from what I hear about smartphones. If I only use it to talk and text, it will last pretty much the entire working day. If I'm playing games or on the internet, I do have to plug it in during the day. Overall, I am very pleased with my phone and glad I made the switch from standard to smartphone. Definitely glad I chose the Stratosphere.
by Cindy -- September 8th 2012 -- Spencer, OH
Since purchasing the Stratosphere in January of 2012, I have taken it back 7 times. Once even sending it to Samsung in Texas. My verizon tech was kind enough to lend me his phone for the 3 weeks while it was being "fixed" so I wasn't without a phone..WORST PHONE EVER. I have tried everything with no success from Verizon. Reading these other reviews has eased my mind cause I was beginning to think I have a chip in my brain that is causing all the distortion...teehee People sound like aliens, or I am sounding like I am in a tunnel. It randomly mutes or just hangs up. Tons of crackling and loud, loud popping noises that "they" say has never been reported with this phone...ha....They should read these reviews. I am canceling all 3 of my contract dates when they come up, and will never, ever deal with a Verizon contract again. Oh, there is also condensation that happens around the battery when the phone overheats. I was told that is a safety feature built into the smart phones to protect the phone from burning up...Never heard of this one!!!! Ok, thanx for letting me vent. I have been going crazy for 8 months and now I feel so much better.!!!!
by Jason -- August 19th 2012 -- Plantsville, CT
I bought this phone when it came out in October, it worked great for the first few months, then the software issues started, the phone shuts its self off even though fully charged, while you are using it it shuts off, data service keeps cutting out. I am on the 4th phone replacement and all have the same issue. Verizon states there are no known issues, but through contacts i have with verizon, i have been told there are major issues with this phone and they have been waiting for 6 months for a program patch to fix it. Until the software is fixed, don't buy this phone, unless you want a big headache!
by mas -- August 17th 2012 -- kokomo, IN
Not easy to use it freezes too much and the memory sucks.
by Chris -- August 7th 2012 -- Emporium, PA
I bought this phone and it worked great for a little bit, but then a month later when I text with the touch screen, the spacebar starts to delete everything I type and the "i" button kicks me out of the text message.
by Cathy -- July 31st 2012 -- Corona, CA
The call quality is HORRIBLE! If you want clarity RUN away from this phone. Verizon and Samsung refuse to acknowledge the call clarity issue. Had one of our two phones replaced & nothing changed. Our old cheap flip phone had awesome clarity. This phone is 100 steps back in time. These billion dollar corporations offered the solutions of sending in the phone for them to "check it out" leaving me with no phone at all OR I could buy another phone. That's how Verizon [& Samsung] treat loyal customers.We are warning all of our friends and will not purchase another Samsung piece of junk product of any type. Shame on Verizon for selling these phones & leaving us high and dry with a lousy phone and some lame email suggesting that the problem is something other than the substandard CLARITY. They do not stand behind the products they sell in their stores.
by Mike -- July 29th 2012 -- Columbus, OH
I have had this (along with my wife having one too) phone for about 3 months now with Verizon. These are actually our second set. Both of our phones had major issues to start and Verizon replaced them with new ones.
Not a bad phone and I like not having to use the touch screen to text. The 4G rarely works on it. I don't know if its the phone or the service or both. The call quality could be a lot better.
Web searching and minor gaming like words with friends is fine. It does devour batteries. Also the voice text is crap. It mixes up the languages from Spanish, English, and French.
Not a terrible phone but do not match it with Verizon and there's probably a better one out there.
by melissa -- July 18th 2012 -- buffalo, NY
This phone.. well I was switching to Verizon, never having a smartphone before. I'm 17 so obviously smart phones are what most of my friends had. This phone had gone on sale for a new contract. I picked out the phone 1 day before I actually went to buy it. I read reviews for it the night before I bought it.. and they made me really nervous. I'm a big technology person and I didn't want my phone to go to waste. Having this phone.. has been awesome. It's fast and so easy to figure out. The battery life is excellent too, surprisingly. Turning data on and off is simple. The camera is great. They keyboard is awesome and easy to get used to. The touch screen is sensitive, but not hard to get used to. The screen is a little fragile, but I got 6 screen protectors from eBay for 99 cents and it works great. Honestly GET THIS PHONE. It is so well made and any problems can easily be typed in google and found the answers too. Its welllll worth it.
by Hannah -- June 18th 2012 -- Davis, CA
I just got this phone about a week ago, and so far I love it. I haven't had any problems with it, except for it tends to freeze when I try to exit out of the camera. It's easy to use and pretty self-explanatory, even for someone who's never owned a smartphone. The only cons I have for this phone: If someone sends you a picture, you have to have your data on and be in a 3g or 4g area to receive the picture, which is frustrating for me. Maybe all smart phones are like that, I don't know, but I've never had to do that before. The call clarity is iffy, though that might be because I'm currently in a low service area. It hasn't broken on me, and I've read reviews that say it randomly breaks so I bought the insurance with it. Also, I bought it because having a keyboard was super important to me, but I've ended up using the swype for the most part, so keep that in mind if that's the only reason you're getting this phone. Overall, I'm pleased with this phone so far, and for the price I got it for ($1) it was a steal. I would recommend it to my friends.

Biden's Advantage in Tonight's Debate
Biden's Advantage in Tonight's Debate
Created by msouder on 10/11/2012 11:26:39 AM
Joe Biden has a serious of advantages in tonight's debate. Paul Ryan is very good, but those expecting a "slam dunk" by Ryan could be surprised and also are likely to be pro-Ryan regardless.
1) Biden is viewed as a buffoon of sorts, gaffe inflicted, by his opponents. So if he makes a gaffe, everybody is likely to already have factored it in. What a dream position for a debater: expectations have factored in a mistake.
2) Biden held his own with Sarah Palin. Palin has indisputable charisma. She's attractive and full of energy. She was new at the time, new and interesting. And a female, feminine but aggressive which is very challenging for a male to debate without seeming inappropriate (condescending or bullying). And, to put it in as nice a way as possible, she wasn't the most in-depth issue person ever to run for Vice-President. Given Biden's biggest failing - acting pompous and condescending - he did amazingly well. So well, most do not remember details. Then it became Obama on McCain, which was no match.
3) Biden is an "old school" politician - back-slapping, exaggerating, beer drinking, smiling, demagogic, magnetic in person but less so on TV. Obama is the cool professor, the internationalist. Joe Biden is the pretend coal miner. (Look that up if you didn't understand.) Biden is a key to Ohio, holding Michigan and Pennsylvania, and helping in other key states like Wisconsin. He's the guy you send in to meet with automakers, veterans, coal miners, and ward healers. So tonight, if he can win back some of them - heavily male gun owners, more Catholic than not, pro-American tough guys who aren't sure Obama isn't a nut - then he accomplished a key goal.
4) Biden will try to push Ryan off a cliff. He will josh him, mock him, repeat false "facts" over and over, and misquote Ryan repeatedly. His primary goal if to force Ryan into a mistake.
Ryan's goals are much more difficult:
1) Stay cool. Do not let Biden rile you up. (Biden can rile up almost anyone committed to facts.) If Ryan gets too intense, or starts to lecture & get condescending himself then Biden the way-underestimated skilled politician will appear - he will smile, hit again and again, and again, smiling all the way. "Now, Paul, I know you hate the truth but this is the true fact." "Paul, as your hero Ronald Reagan once said - 'facts are stubborn things'." "Paul, I know that like Mr. Romney, you want to run away from what you've said in the past, you did, in fact say ...." Ryan needs to stay cool through the barrage.
2) Ryan needs to talk to the people, not Biden. He will need to explain the Republican budget in broad terms, the risk of the debt (tie into Spain, the collapse of Europe, how Obama is making us like Europe).
3) Ryan has a great change to explain some fundamentals of capitalism. Seldom is there such a need and an opportunity to explain to the American people the crisis we face. It must be done. Make it clear that it can't be avoided. How easy it is for politicians to duck and avoid telling voters the hard truth.
4) Be ready with some simple comebacks to 47% and Medicare. Biden might be relentless. Make sure you have a good memorable line, with some humor if possible. And then take it to Obama for refusing to save Medicare and pandering.
5) Don't make it about Biden, or Obama-Biden. It is about the President, not the Vice-Presidents.
For Democrats, the goal is to make Republicans seem extreme who want to cut benefits on Medicare, student loans, vets, highways, etc. They want to use Ryan to get to Romney.
For Republicans, Biden is irrelevant. Ryan needs to set up Romney on defense and offense on economic issues, and not become an issue himself. Veeps are irrelevant. When they become an issue, it is always - always - bad for the Presidential candidate. If they do well, it reduces the Presidential candidate. If they do poorly, it hurts the Presidential candidate. And there is one other version - when the VP candidate thinks it is about the VP candidate. My friend Jack Kemp made that mistake. Sarah Palin came close. Paul Ryan, a potential future candidate himself, has done well this time focusing on Romney. Tonight isn't about who is going to represent the US at international funerals and be the President's private advisor/potential next guy: it is about who should be President of the United States of America.
Personal note: I know both candidates. I have known Paul since we were both US Senate staffers. I was aligned with Paul in many fights. But, even with his sometimes arrogant ways, I also liked Joe Biden. We worked on narcotics issues together. He actually gave me the kindest, and longest, introduction at a press conference that I ever had. Then suddenly turned and said: "Mark, I hope I didn't just hurt you back home." Don't underestimate him. But Biden is also capable of self-destruction in a big way but I believe the biggest risk is for Ryan, who is mostly unknown. Fortunately, Paul is one of the smartest guys in American politics. I am betting on him long term, but this is a high risk start.

Franklin County hopes its new land bank will become a model for other communities plagued with vacant properties that — vermin-infested, moldy and dilapidated — sink neighborhood pride and property values.
It is, however, already a model of cooperation.
The deal, crafted by the county and signed onto last week by the city, yokes together layers of government: the county, city, townships and suburbs; the Ohio Attorney General's office, the Franklin County prosecutor and the Columbus city attorney; local health boards, city building-safety officials, police and firefighters; Franklin County Environmental Court and many others.
All will play a role as the city and county land banks seize blighted property, raze crumbling buildings and court redevelopers.
Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman has gotten a good start on his ambitious goal to raze the worst 900 properties, out of 6,000 that are vacant and abandoned in his city. Meanwhile, Franklin County Treasurer Ed Leonard has been working to launch the land bank, the Central Ohio Community Improvement Corp., which is to focus on townships, villages and suburbs, but also will aid Columbus' own land bank.
Under an agreement approved on Feb. 11 by Columbus City Council, the city will get first dibs on any parcels within its boundaries. The county land bank may initially take possession, but will hand over the parcels upon request. That arrangement will be beneficial for a variety of legal reasons.
A powerful 2010 state law enables county land banks to absolve new owners of environmental liabilities; this is especially important for redeveloping former gasoline stations or manufacturing sites. The law also lets counties bypass sheriff's auctions to seize vacant properties that haven't paid property taxes for at least a year; this will speed redevelopment and relief for neighbors.
The county land bank also can take a big-picture view, targeting entire blighted areas to acquire multiple parcels. That gives the land bank more clout to woo larger investors and more jobs.
So the demolition derby begins.
Columbus already has started, razing more 123 buildings last year. Franklin County, having gotten its ducks in a row and hired a construction manager to oversee demolition projects, recently announced its first project, a 55-unit Madison Township apartment complex that has been crumbling for most of a decade.
Properties that are too dangerous to live in and too costly to fix need to come down. When owners walk away, the public is stuck with the bill for demolition. This year, Franklin County expects to tap about $2.2 million of its funds. Columbus has set aside $11.5 million to demolish the 900 properties within four years. And the two land banks combined will leverage another one-time grant of $8.2 million from Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine's national foreclosure-settlement fund.
These land banks give taxpayers the chance to recoup their investment — and then some.
One needs only to look at the Arena District, where an abandoned penitentiary sat, or Columbus Commons, where a dead mall moldered, to see how demolition of vacant buildings can pay off.

I told ya man, I'd hire you.
Anyway- finally found your sketchbook. It's not like I'm particularly good at this or anything, but I'd definitely try to remember to start with your light and dark, remembering not to do ANY in between until the time is right. It really helps you set up your value relationships and describe three dimensional forms in a believable way. Too many highlights flatten things.
See you tomorrow morning.
There's a lake over there. Paint it before it dries up!

Destination dining at Canebrake Kitchen in Wagoner might be one of the best kept secrets in Oklahoma fine dining.
Sam Bracken and his wife Lisa have spent the past few years establishing a fantastic get-away resort for not only dining but also for those looking for a conference room center, a ropes course, a yoga barn and boutique.
In the process, the Brackens worked diligently and, whenever possible, used sustainable building methods in their construction, such as recycled insulation, organic paint, solar hot water, tiled floors and low-wattage halogen and compact fluorescent lighting.
Moreover, in The Canebrake Kitchen, Bracken strives to use organic, all natural, locally made or house-made foods, steaks, chicken and seafood.
"We get as much of our food stuff out of Oklahoma and as close to us as we possibly can," Bracken said. "We base it on the seasons, especially with our proteins."
He gave an example that he now has chayote squash, which he described as being like a green pear that keeps well with a good shelf life and can be fried, baked, boiled or sautéed.
He has a few hot house tomatoes, too, he said, but only uses them for sandwiches. When tomatoes were in season, he bought tomatoes from a grower in Hulbert, and, besides using them in dishes, he also prepared a tomato base, froze it and pulls it out in the winter months when he needs it. He strives to "handpick the cream of the crop," for as he said, "the quality is better."
During the winter, he and his chefs use a lot of root vegetables and winter greens, and when a friend and I dined here, we experienced the chayote squash, which was a refreshing change from the overused and trite 'vegetable medley.'
Bracken said that some items on the menu will change from week to week depending on what food he can get each week, and, of course, from season to season, as he tries to find the best vegetables and protein.
Entering onto The Canebrake grounds around 5:30pm the rustic country scene is a welcome sight. It was dusk, and approaching the Kitchen on the winding and hilly road, we encountered a number of deer slowly crossing the road, peering at us without running too far away. Once in, we were warmly welcomed and directed to our table close to a large vibrant fireplace.
We were offered filtered water or S.Pellegrino; we opted for a bottle of the bubbly S.Pellegrino.
The Kitchen has a very fine wine list of reds, whites, ports and sherrys, dessert wines and a section labeled "interesting selections," as well as a full bar of beer, bourbon, scotch, brandy, cognac and liqueur.
We desired to try selections from the Wine Flights list; for my friend the Rotta ($20, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon) and for me, the Red Wine ($18, Red Truck Pinot Noir, Crios Malbec, Madfish Shiraz, Peachy Canyon Zinfandel). These various wine samplings were served throughout our dining experience, one by one. Each serving equaled about three sips, so the amount was very modest.
As an appetizer, we selected Pan-seared Seafood Cakes, which are fresh smoked Mahi Mahi and Salmon with bread crumbs and seasonings, served with poppy seed slaw and house remoulade ($12). Two cakes were gently seared to a light crispness outside, while a tender, rich seafood body engrossed the inside with its mild smoky flavor. This was accompanied by very thinly sliced red onion, capers and sweet pickles.
Next, my dining companion ordered the Romaine and Arugula with Ranch salad ($4.50) before his entrée. This salad was built from romaine hearts and baby arugula with Applewood smoked bacon, toasted pepitas and red bell peppers then tossed with The Kitchen's house Neosho River Ranch dressing. My friend found the dish delightfully fresh with the arugula dominating--which he enjoyed--and the other elements complementing.
For our main courses or "Large Plate" as it is expressed on the menu, I selected the Buffalo Meatloaf ($17), and my friend chose the Creekstone Natural Rib Eye ($32).
Bracken said he goes to great lengths to select his protein--chicken, beef, fish and duck--by going to Creekstone Ranch for its "no-junk," or no hormones, facility. Bracken seeks out the best place for bison, the best chicken processing plant and the best seafood that comes from its natural habitat.
The Oklahoma bison meatloaf came with prosciutto, onions and spices and served with red eye gravy, roasted vegetables and turnip-potato mash. All was simply exquisite!
Bracken said since the bison is very lean with very little fat, to "give it a little juice, we grind prosciutto and so it gives the bison a little bit of fat flavor to its profile so that its moist." He adds that the savory flavor comes from bell pepper, cumin, thyme and rosemary. It is cooked to medium rare, he said, which keeps it moist also.
This eight-ounce serving came in two triangular "chunks" bearing a tasty grilled crispiness on the bottom. The mash was topped with sautéed red bell pepper, red onion, broccoli, carrots with slices of chayote squash. The squash was thinly sliced and crisp, tasting like a crisp pear or green apple. This squash was an enjoyable change from standard fare.
My friend's Rib Eye was grilled medium rare and served with the Kitchen's own chipotle-espresso sauce and pommes frites. The steak, my friend said, was simply marvelous.
Bracken said this 12-oz. steak, like all their beef, is dry-aged for two weeks before they receive it, and then "we dry age it a few days as well." He said the chefs prepare it simply by grilling it to order and adding only fresh cracked black pepper and sea salt. Taste, texture and preparation all came together with the rib eye.
The sauce, Bracken said, is made from chipotle chiles and tomato, espresso coffee beans, hot chiles and cumin. This simmers for a while, is pureed and then strained. The result is a silky smooth sauce of rich complex flavors. He particularly enjoyed the pommes frites, which were match-stick thin and very crisp.
The atmosphere is remarkable, with the feel of a mountain lodge or country without being overdone. An open kitchen offers a view into meal preparation, and as Bracken said, can provide a little entertainment for guests. New age-type music enveloped the dining areas amid the low voices of diners in conversation.
Service was exceptional. While at times the server was not able to answer all the questions I asked about the served food, she did find the answers for me. In addition, while my friend and I were very happy to enjoy time between courses, she seemed very eager to take our order, inquiring quite often during times where we simply enjoying the slow pace of this Friday evening.
A Sunday brunch from 10am-2pm is a "large production," Bracken said. The buffet line wraps around the length of the dining room with salads, pastas, Belgian waffles, desserts (from pastry chef Sarah Levelle), carved meats, all natural sausage link, apple smoked bacon and more.
Sam Bracken and his wife Lisa live only 300 yards away from The Kitchen; it is their home and livelihood. Sam learned the business from "the school of hard knocks" as he puts it, being in the business for more than 21 years. He says he is the CEO, the executive chef, the chief visionary and chief plumber at Canebrake.
It's a definite must on the fine dining list, and reservations are highly recommended.
