Knight Foundation supports the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship (NFTE) to prepare students from low-income communities for today's technology landscape. Below, Stephanie Alvarado, NFTE's development associate, gives a snapshot of NFTE alumni's first day of GenTech, a summer camp to help students launch their tech-based business while learning to code.
We kicked off our inaugural GenTech Summer Camp on Monday by asking our alumni "where are you with your vision and business?" By asking our budding entrepreneurs to reflect on their accomplishments, obstacles and futures, Camp Instructor Ray Parris helped the students set up goals for this 10-day business accelerator. The camp, made possible by the generous support of Microsoft, is an opportunity for NFTE alumni to work with experienced entrepreneurs and experts in creating apps and websites and even launching their business.
GenTech is a partnership of three organizations: the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship and Code Fever, with The LAB Miami in Wynwood serving as host. Topics include ideation, creating wireframes, coding, marketing and branding, and legal aspects of starting and running a business. Most importantly, students develop their first professional network as part of the camp, a perfect example of what is possible when we find common ground to build on.
Even on the first day, our students were more productive than most of their peers who are in the brain drain of summer break. They toured The LAB Miami and talked with co-founder Wifredo Fernandez about his passion for both education and entrepreneurship. Alejandro Blanco of Design Red, an IT company for specialized small business needs, stopped by during lunch and talked with the students about his entrepreneurial evolution and the lessons he's learned during his career in information technology.
Later in the afternoon, Felecia Hatcher of Code Fever took the floor and showed all of our students that coding is not intimidating. The students spent the first hour of their coding session working as a group to change the layout of the Netflix website using Inspector. By using a simple tool such as Inspector, they learned that the best way to learn coding is to understand it as a language that is logical rather than an intense kind of math equation.
After only an hour, one of our most apprehensive students, Ashley Fleury from Homestead, said that "coding is actually really interesting [and] doesn't seem as hard as [I] thought it was. We cannot wait for what the rest of the next two weeks is going to bring."

Similar to what is going on nationally, El Paso gun stores have seen an increase in sales during the past couple of days as the debate about limiting guns has intensified nationwide.
Shane Koch, store manager for Sportsman's Elite Hunting and Gun Pro Shop, 7500 N. Mesa, said his store sold out of assault rifles and high-capacity magazines after President Barack Obama's speech Sunday in Newtown, Conn.
"The blowback from his comments is that he has sold every type of assault rifle off our shelves," Koch said. "People who don't even want an assault rifle have come in to buy one because they don't want the government telling them what they can buy."
Obama spoke Sunday night during a vigil dedicated to the victims of Friday's deadly shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Soon after classes began Friday morning, Adam Lanza, 20, broke into the school and shot to death 20 children, six adults and himself. Police later found that he fatally shot his mother, Nancy Lanza, 52, at their home before going to the school.
Reports said Adam Lanza used a semiautomatic rifle and two other guns in the shootings. Police said he also had "numerous" high-capacity ammo magazines with him.
Koch described the shootings as a nightmare scenario that kept him awake at night.
"I was sickened and outraged by it," Koch said. "Can you imagine getting a phone call from the school and being told to come and pick up your deceased child?"
Still shocked at the tragedy, Koch said that on Monday, after Obama spoke at the vigil, his store was flooded with shoppers and phone calls.
"We broke our record sales on assault rifles on Monday and Tuesday," Koch said. "For our other guns, we remained steady."
The number of assault rifles sold on both days exceeded any "holiday rush" the store had experienced in the past, Koch said.
Countrywide Shooters, 3950 Doniphan, also had a spike in assault-rifle sales after the president's speech.
"It's been positive for gun shops because we have had a lot of sales," said owner Valerie Moreno. "But it has been negative because if there are gun-control changes, we don't know what will be banned at this time."
The FBI's National Instant Criminal Background Check System was taking a long time to use Monday and Tuesday.
It usually takes a few minutes to check someone's background information. But Koch said that Monday and Tuesday it took 30 to 45 minutes just to log on to the system.
"The FBI themselves were on overload," Koch said. "I don't think they were prepared for the rush."
At Countrywide, Moreno said she has not been able to do a background check for a couple days. "We can't even do background checks right now," she said. "Whoever buys a firearm just has to wait until we can get through and do their background check."
The only other time Moreno had a long wait for background checks was in 2008 after Obama was elected, she said.
Moreno said she has gained some new customers who want to get a gun before guns are banned.
"There are people who have never owned a gun but are aware of the situation and want to get something before they are gone," Moreno said. "There are also collectors who want to get their hands on something before it is too late."
Most Sportsman's Elite customers were worried that new laws will prevent them from buying assault rifles, high-capacity magazines and maybe even other types of guns, Koch said.
"As a manager of a business of this type, I would say our main concern is keeping inventory," Koch said. "We sold enough assault rifles to last us the next three months."
The next couple of months will determine whether Sportsman's Elite and other stores restock their shelves and window cases.
"I'm guessing that manufactures are waiting to see if (assault rifles) are banned before they make more," Koch said. "If I were them, I wouldn't want to make more guns if I couldn't sell them. And as a store we have to be aware, because if they increase restrictions, then some of our inventory may become illegal."
Koch said there have been other increases in gun sales, usually after public shootings, elections or any ratcheting up of gun control debates.
However, this time there was even more activity.
"After the Aurora, Colorado, shooting there was a very small increase," Koch said. "I believe it was (Obama's) comments that caused this week's sales to break records."
On Wednesday, Obama promised to make recommendations no later than January on new gun control legislation, which would be designed to prevent another tragedy like the massacre in Newtown, Conn.

AKRON, Ohio Marc Leishman has revealed a simple putting change freed up his strokeand helped his surge in form, including taking the outright lead after the first round of the World Golf Championships event in Ohio.
Fresh off a course record equalling seven-under 65 final round in the British Open where he finished tied fifth, the Victorian carded a six-under 64 at Firestone Country Club in the US to lead by one.
The Victorian carved up with eight birdies and just two bogeys to lead by one from former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel of South Africa, former US Open champion Justin Rose of England and American Ryan Moore.
In his home base at Virginia Beach the week before heading to the British Open, Leishman's coach Dennis McDade mentioned to the 30-year-old he seemed a little jerky under pressure with his putter in recent months and the two went about rectifying the problem.
"Things would be fine on Thursdays and Fridays but come the weekend when the pressure was up, I was pushing my putter head further down into the ground before the stroke and then occasionally catching it during the stroke," Leishman revealed to AAP.
"It meant I was getting jerky and missing a lot of putts I might have made.
"But I have freed that up, I'm mindful of it and it has worked great at the Open and now here."
Ranked 90th on tour this year in the key stat strokes gained putting, Leishman was sixth in the field during the opening round in Akron.
Now the key is maintaining his play throughout the next three days as he tries to emulate compatriot Adam Scott, the last player to turn the first round lead to victory at Firestone (2011).
And after his epic meltdown at the Masters in April, where he led early in round two but imploded to miss the cut, Leishman believes he has the experience to stay in control.
"I've just got to not get too far ahead of myself," he said.
"It's definitely easy to do that. You start thinking about what might happen if you are to put four good rounds together.
"But on a tough course like this, it's going to be pretty easy not to get ahead of myself because there's so much trouble out there.
"I learned so much about myself and my game, and mentally, after the Masters.
"I was really disappointed and crushed and all that. But once it passed, I felt like I learned a lot and I was a lot better player mentally and could handle more than what I could before that."
World No.1 Adam Scott wasn't at his crisp best but still managed a one-under 69 to sit tied 15th, joined by Steven Bowditch in his WGC debut.
Matt Jones, also on WGC debut, shot even par while John Senden battled his way to a 74 and an injury-hampered Jason Day struggled to the same score to be near the back of the pack.
Tiger Woods, the defending and eight-time champion, is two-under and tied ninth while British Open champion and world No.2 Rory McIlroy shot one-under as he tries to unseat Scott at the top of the rankings.
The Northern Irishman needs to win and have the Australian finish outside the top five in the lucrative event.

Hey guys,
I've made some adjustments to the RI south facing forecast... You will see these applied at the next update (noon).
The swell window was indeed way too wide open. I'm not sure why this mistake was there in the first place, but thank you for bringing it to our attention. This should remove those SW swell biases...
Let me know how it goes for the upcoming swells.
Rhode Island Surf Forecast
many thanks. Will continue to use the spot on function to help dial it in.
Excellent, much appreciated.
For the record, this upgrade is being applied to a lot of places, which will see improved condition forecasts. Rhode Island is one of the most significant areas influenced though.

A MOTHER has hit out at a housing association which she says has left her vulnerable daughter 'in a living hell'.
Karen Carr says 27-year-old daughter Emma-Jane, who has mental health problems, has been subjected to conditions 'like Chinese water torture' after Raglan Housing failed to fix a leak in the roof which began in 2012.
She says Emma-Jane's asthma has been exacerbated by the damp conditions she is living in.
Mrs Carr said: "She's had to have lots of buckets and pails collecting the water and they constantly need changing when it rains.
"It's just no way to live really.
"It's been 15 months of hell. From talking to other tenants in the block it seems that the previous tenant had the same issue.
"But instead of sorting it out, they haven't.
"It's been horrendous.
"It has got Emma-Jane extremely down.
"It's only a one-bedroom flat so she doesn't have anywhere to escape to.
"It's been like Chinese water torture for the past two years.
"She's had a recurring chest infection since Christmas."
Mrs Carr says she has had to deal with the housing association on her daughter's behalf because of how upsetting she has found the situation.
Mrs Carr says repairmen have been out to the flat in Wool several times but so far have failed to fix the issue.
She says they took away part of the ceiling, leaving the metal beams and flooring of the flat above exposed.
Raglan regional property manager Steve Fowley said: "We have been investigating the issue with the leak in the flat for some time and have now managed to find the source of the leak, which was caused by a structural defect that was not immediately apparent.
"As the issue is linked to the balcony of the flat above, we temporarily fixed the issue to enable us time to book the work in with our specialist contractors.
"Unfortunately, accessing the property above has taken longer than anticipated and due to the nature of the work we have also had to wait for the weather to improve.
"The work is now booked in for April 22 and should take approximately four to six days to complete."

2014 Year in Review with Head Coach Jim Toman
Flames Audio:
Following a year in which his team made a second consecutive trip to an NCAA Regional, LFSN's Nick Pierce sat down with Liberty baseball head coach and 2014 Big South Coach of the Year Jim Toman for a look back at this past season.
Liberty posted a 41-18 record in 2014, receiving its first ever at-large selection to an NCAA Regional. In addition, Toman's Flames made back-to-back appearances at an NCAA Regional also for the first time in program history. With 41 wins, Liberty recorded the second most wins and posted the fourth 40-plus win season in in program history.
The Flames set a program high for Big South Conference victories with a 23-3 mark in 2014, claiming the conference's regular season title. At one point during the year, Liberty won 20 consecutive Big South contests.
At season's end, Toman's Flames swept the conference's awards. Second baseman Ryan Seiz was named the Big South Player of the Year, while right-hander Trey Lambert was selected as the conference's Pitcher of the Year. Right-hander Parker Bean was named as the Big South Freshmen of the Year and Toman was voted by his fellow coaches as the conference's Coach of the Year.

On Thursday, April 4, 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated. By Friday night, April 5, nine black men in Chicago, ages 16-34, were dead and the city's west side was on fire. At least four of those men had been killed by police, carrying shotguns loaded with shells packed with extra shot. A Sun-Times reporter suspected the four dead were innocent bystanders, targeted by police who had little regard for black life. While tragic, this type of deadly police violence against black citizens was not uncommon. But it was hardly noticed by white Americans.

Ms. Johnson, I'd very much like to know how many people we're talking about in the Afro-American Patrolman's League (AAPL) and the Black Catholic Clergy Caucus.
For a sense of proportion.
Thank you so much for posting this, Karen - I am certainly excited about the topic and I'm glad to see a few more people may be too!
The question of proportion, Mr. Van Dyke, is a little hard to gauge. Over 60 black Catholic priests gathered in Rockford, IL to found the Black Catholic Clergy Caucus in 1968. This was the first national black Catholic organization founded in the Black Power era and it sparked the Black Catholic Movement, soon joined by the National Black Sisters Conference (1968) and the National Office for Black Catholics (1970). The voices of black Catholic clergy quickly gained a national prominence disproportionate to their numerical size.
The Afro-American Patrolmen's League is similar. It was first founded by just five black Chicago Police officers in the basement of a Catholic church. However, through their activism and lawsuits, the AAPL contributed to a significant expansion the black police force in Chicago.
So, I would say that the proportion of these two organizations (in terms of local and national influence) was much greater than their sheer numbers, which were initially small.
- Tom Van Dyke at: February 19, 2013 at 2:31 PM said...
Thank you, Mr. Cressler. 60 is a lot, a significant number. 6, not so much.
I think we're all aware of the danger of looking into past to try to see our own reflections---they tend to look bigger and brighter. So I was inquiring whether these orgs actually had ripples beyond their little splash.
- Karen Johnson at: February 19, 2013 at 8:27 PM said...
Thanks for both comments! I think the question of significance is an important one. In both cases, it seems to me that the black Catholics' influence went beyond their numbers. With the AAPL, even thought they were small in number, they were an active voice against a white institution, at a significant cost to themselves.

Karen - Thanks for this post, very insightful. I would be interested in hearing, from either you or from Matthew, about any direct or indirect relationships that we might trace between these Catholics and the later Black Manifesto. Most treatments of the Manifesto seem to consider Catholic and Jewish responses (whether positive or negative) separately from various Protestant responses. Yet by the late '60s, interreligious and ecumenical organizations, usually of the "tri-faith" variety, had sprouted up in any number of cities. Chicago's interreligious community, specifically, really comes together around issues of housing and civil rights in the early '60s (possibly earlier?), and then sort of loses steam and is fractured in the late '60s for any number of reasons.
Yet I've often wondered if the interreligious baton was simply passed to the emerging black power contingent... that is, I wonder if the language and cultural stance of black power provides a new framework for tri-faith cooperation, just as the old guard found a platform for such activity in the language and stance of the movement in the '50s and early '60s.
- Trevor Burrows at: February 20, 2013 at 7:00 AM said...
As an aside, I recently came across this digital exhibit on the Episcopal Archives website that I thought was very intriguing:
The Church Awakens: African-Americans and the Struggle for Racial Justice
Included are images of some great documents/pamphlets and a pretty solid overview of some of the major issues and events for the Episcopalian community during the period.
- Karen Johnson at: February 20, 2013 at 9:00 AM said...
Trevor, thanks for the fabulous link on the Episcopal Church. That's quite a resource. I'll have to defer to Matt on the question of the Black Manifesto. But I do know that Chicago's tri-faith community did come together around issues related to racial justice starting in the 1930s and their partnerships really picked up momentum in the post-war era around housing, starting most memorably with the fall-out from the 1951 Cicero riot. The prominent partnerships in te early 1960s were the result of decades of co-laboring across religious and racial lines.
Trevor, I think this is a really interesting suggestion. As of yet, I am not aware of any direct links between the Black Catholic Clergy Caucus and the Black Manifesto, but there certainly were indirect links. When these black priests declared the Catholic Church a "white racist institution" in 1968, one of their foremost arguments was that the Church disallowed "authentic" black religious culture. When the Black Catholic Movement identified "authentically black" ways of being religious, they turned toward their Protestant brethren - a new possibility for Catholics, following the Second Vatican Council. Black Catholic literature was saturated with quotes from Martin Luther King and Albert Cleage, essays on the black preaching tradition by Baptist ministers, and references to Brother Malcolm (X). I'd argue that the language, culture, and politics of Black Power definitely opened doors to new relationships and alliances across denominational boundaries. As you could imagine, though, it also closed others. So I'm not sure if this new cooperation, though, could rightly be called "tri-faith." I'd have to think more about that.

Let me start out by saying that Key West is an awesome place. It's every bit as funky, cool and relaxed as people say it is. It wasn't long after I arrived that I mastered riding a moped with one hand on the handle and the other holding shaved ice. Needless to say, I loved it there!
There were, however, two odd events that occurred during my time in the Keys that I need to tell you about, one of which remains an unsolved mystery.
I was pretty successful with my fishing for this episode (except for a snapped rod) so I wanted to show off my catch of two vermillion snappers by shooting a segment delivering the catch to our chef. I mounted the camera to face backwards on my bike and set off. The chef was eagerly awaiting my catch when I arrived, and I was pumped to show off my fish. I reached down to grab the bigger of the two fish (ready to brag), but to my surprise, there was only one fish on my bike. The larger of the two fish somehow vanished! But I wasn't too worried — I had recorded the whole event.
As I played back the footage from the ride, the moment the fish slid off into the road was captured clear as day. I quickly circled back to the exact spot where the fish had landed. But here's the mystery: There were zero signs of the missing fish. There was not a person, bird, cat or any other type of fish eater in sight. And no fish! I had some explaining to do to the crew, and still had to cook with the chef. Luckily, we nailed the banana-wrapped snapper on the first try.
Get the Recipe: Whole Mutton Snapper with Mango Salsa
As for the second unusual occurrence, I'm going to let that be a surprise for when you tune in. I will tell you that during filming, I was visited by a very large sea creature. It was an amazing moment that almost scared both me and the cameraman to death. It's a moment I'll remember for the rest of my life.
Tune in tonight to see what happens and to draw your own conclusions about what happened to my fish.
Thank you, Key West. Thank you!

D.J. Mbenga may or may not be back in Lakers' practice gear when training camp commences in October.
So, the unrestricted free agent center wisely is exploring his options. Mbenga worked out this week with the Miami Heat and according to a report by the Miami Herald, Mbenga was impressive enough to intrigue the Heat basketball staff.
"There is interest," Mbenga's agent, Boune Ndiaye told The Herald. "I'm not sure how strong the interest is in signing him but they want to get a look at him first."
Mbenga began the 2007-2008 season with the Golden State Warriors but was waived after playing in 26 games. He was signed to a pair of 10-day contracts by the Lakers, the first one on Jan. 21.
Following the expiration of his second 10-day contract, per NBA rules, Mbenga either had to be signed for the remainder of the season or waived. The Lakers signed him on Feb. 11 and he finished the regular season on the roster and was on the playoff roster.
In 26 games with the Lakers, Mbenga averaged 1.4 points and 1.3 rebounds.
The return of center Andrew Bynum from knee surgery likely has made Mbenga expendable for the Lakers, who have quality depth behind Bynum in Chris Mihm and recently-signed Josh Powell.
Mbenga spent two seasons playing in the Italian League before signing with the Dallas Mavericks in 2004-2005, as an undrafted rookie. He spent three seasons with Dallas.

Our Child Abuse Main Article provides a comprehensive look at the who, what, when and how of Child Abuse
Medical Definition of Abuse, psychological child
Abuse, psychological child: Also known as emotional child abuse, this is the third most frequently reported form of child abuse (after child neglect and physical child abuse), accounting 17% of all cases of child abuse.
It is likely that emotional child abuse is greatly underreported, since it can be difficult to detect and difficult to document.
Emotional child abuse includes acts of commission or omission by the parents and other caregivers that could cause the child to have serious behavioral, emotional, or mental disorders. In some instances of emotional child abuse, the acts of parents or other caregivers alone, without any harm yet evident in the child's behavior or condition, are sufficient to warrant the intervention of child protective services. For example, the parents or caregivers may use extreme or bizarre forms of punishment, such as confinement of a child in a dark closet.
Emotional child abuse is also sometimes termed verbal child abuse or mental injury of a child.

With the beginning of the new school year now in full swing, families are settling back into the rhythm of waking up early, rushing out the door and carting kids to soccer practice, football games and dance classes every night of the week. College students are back on their campuses, readjusting to late nights and trying to put off doing the growing cascade of laundry in the corner that, for the last few months, Mom has graciously done.
As for myself, after three months at home, I was more than ready to return to Harvard. I was excited to be living with new friends in a new house, and I was ready to take on new challenges with a year of experience under my belt.
After arriving in Boston and moving into my new dorm room, I posted some pictures on Facebook. A few hours later, my great-grandmother (yes my GREAT-grandmother) commented on them saying, "Glad to see you are back in the groove!" Now, that got me thinking. First of all, I have a hip grandma, and second, am I really back in the same "groove?"
In some ways I feet like I never left campus. But I also feel like a freshman again, in the sense that I'm starting something new. That is truly an advantage in college, and more generally, in life. Ever year, every week and every day, we can start something new. We can change the way we think, act and go about our daily lives. Instead of sticking with the same activities and clubs of which I was a part last semester, I branched out and auditioned for the dance team and am writing for a campus magazine. There are so many opportunities here at Harvard, and I don't want to miss out.
Academically, as a sophomore, I was prepared to settle back into the mediocre portion of the student body, and fully expected to feel constantly behind. However, after my first week of lab for my Life Sciences 2 course, I walked out of the fourth floor classroom, I could not believe it. For the first time, I had felt more experienced than the majority of my class and was confidently sharing my knowledge with my lab partners during our dogfish shark dissection. Now, most of these students had taken AP Biology and AP Chemistry and about every AP class in the book. But, thanks to Michael Fredericks, I knew that "dorsal" meant back, and I wasn't afraid to use a scalpel. Granted, my classes are still just as difficult, and I am sure there are greater challenges yet to come, but confidence and experience are powerful tools!
Settling back into your groove can be great. Everyone loves familiarity, but sometimes, though it may be harder, making a new groove can be even better. So do something new today. Just because. Just because you can. During several of her classes at Princeton High School, Elaine McVety often quoted Ralph Waldo Emerson (a Harvard graduate): "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds ..."
Don't be small-minded; do something inconsistent today!

More Droid DNA details trickle down from HTC and others: battery life, microSD slot, camera samples
0. phoneArena posted on 15 Nov 2012, 07:23
To the numerous questions about the lack of a microSD card slot, HTC USA has posted on Facebook the following answer, which seems to have been subsequently pulled: "HTC USA U.S. customers have easy access to cloud storage solutions through Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network and ample access to Wi-Fi. This fact was balanced with the desire to make DROID DNA as slender as possible with an incredible 5-inch HD screen..."
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

@superandroidevo is this sound good news for you? Lol
3. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
lol Thanks. Yes that is GREAT news indeed. I STILL want to hear this come from "Joooooohn V. here from phonearena.com", since I trust his reviews. He always come off as very honest & it's always refreshing to read, see & hear his reviews.
There are other sites I look at regularly, so WE will know soon enough. I have to admit I was all over the Samsung Galaxy Note II but this HTC Droid DNA DEFINITELY caught be off guard.
Let's HOPE this phone does pan out. I am rooting for HTC! Can't believe I am saying that! lol
11. wendygarett (unregistered)
And I never thought you refuse the nexus 4 just because of the 4g lte...
Well Google just wanna make the powerful phone to the poor especially for Asian and 4g lte is not really a deal breaker... Google is not the charity company, they still want some profit tho... In order to make a beast to the poor... Then has no choice but to sacrifice 4g lte...
And I hope you compromise and know our feelings... Google just wanna take care the low wages user... We cannot afford the 4g lte... Don't blame Google my friend... Blame us the poor lol :)
12. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Companies that make BILLIONS like Google will not suffer from making a CDMA LTE Google Nexus 4. The US, China, Korea & Japan are MAJOR markets that have CDMA technology & by not servicing those markets it will hurt them more.
What is going to happen is that they WILL release a CDMA LTE Nexus 4 6 months from now but it won't sell because companies like Samsung will scoop up that missing market with phones like the Samsung Galaxy S IV. I still don't get Google's move but hey it is what it is. Right now I am only thinking HTC Droid DNA & Samsung Galaxy Note II.
15. wendygarett (unregistered)
Hmm you're right about that lol
Just saw one of your frustrated comment about not having the 4g lte...
You know what? The Apple territory like Singapore, the iPhone 4s remain the selling point... Even though the iPhone 5 is the 1st device with 4g lte in Singapore, they refuse to pay the contract and most end up buy the sim free version, because they cannot afford lte...
Mainly because this country has free high speed WiFi... And most advanced country has that so the lte is not the deal breaker lol
I understand your feelings, +1 for you lol
21. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
LTE is the future. In less than 10 years GSM & CDMA will become extinct. Voice & Data will be handled by LTE.
Right now LTE is expensive because it's "NEW" tech but as the "NEW" tech becomes standard then the prices will drop dramatically.
Man in 2013 Verizon will start to deploy 4G LTE Advance. Up to 100mbps is TRUE 4G. That is going to be insane.
16. TROLL (banned) (Posts: 4851; Member since: 13 Apr 2012)
SuperAndroidEvo ExperiaKnight should be commenting soon... maybe another dispute argument?
17. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
lol, nah. We are all entitled to our own opinions. I just don't like people who try to force feed their opinions down other people's throat.
He means well. I get the feeling is a VERY opinionated young man. I am not old I am 33 now but when I was say 20 or 21
I was like that also.
A lot of times he is actually right.
He by NO means is like taco50 or 530gemini. Those guys are in a league of their own. lol
29. XPERIA-KNIGHT (unregistered)
Lol God bless you guys :)
Android EVO this is a blessing from google man please dont think for one second that google will suffer for not releasing a cdma version of this phone....google has billions of dollars man and if anything they will profit more with a phone like that because of the wisdom behind the move.......all I can say is .......sit back and watch the phone sell lol
and yes hopefully they will release a cdma version with LTE just for the sake of it
2. VJo003 (Posts: 360; Member since: 11 Mar 2012)
Will wait for some reviews before announcing Victory!!!
4. ajac09 (Posts: 1482; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
great phone but going only for one carrier and the lack of a micro sd card and a battery turn me off. I will just get a note 2 thanks though!
5. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
Battery life does not look very good. Screen time over the first 24 hours was almost zero, the phone was barely out of the pocket, yet system and mobile connection (not synching) ate it down to ~65%. Then in the next 6hrs bars show roughly 120 minutes of screen time, one with GPS, and battery drops a full 50%. The screen chunk of about 40 minutes a little after 12PM with no WiFi or GPS chewed about 12% off. It would be foolish to extrapolate from screenshot observations and pre-release SW, but it does seem very power hungry when in use.
7. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
How can you determine screen on time? There is always a separate screen that shows actual screen on time, yet they omit it in the pictures.
Yeah I am going to have to see what they ACTUALLY get from an actual review.
8. _Bone_ (Posts: 2155; Member since: 29 Oct 2012)
"Screen on"
Agreed, wait on reviews.
18. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
CNET already has review out and there screen on battery drain show 8 hour and 42 minutes. The S3 was 9 hour and 24 minute. So for a bigger screen and smaller battery it did pretty goof.
22. SuperAndroidEvo (Posts: 4888; Member since: 15 Apr 2011)
Wow I am going to CNET to see that right now.
Nice & awesome news ngo2dd.
31. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Yea....battery life will be interesting.
The S3 has a 2100 battery....so for it to be better by 42 minutes and basically the same size battery....HTC shoulda just went with a bigger battery...
I believe it should get ppl thru the day....but it will fall short vs other phones with a similar battery. We will soon see when more reviews and user reviews come out. And I await Anandtech's battery review...
Its sad.....because HTC has been known for skimping out on the battery size on Android phones, WP phones too.
10. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Yea....wifi was mainly used...and the screen wasnt on alot.....
They shoulda went with with at least a 2500 battery. 3000 for sure.
True we didnt see the actual numbers for screen on time, but that pic that shows History...Screen On is barely there and big spaces. Awake shows it was in some kinda use tho...
And true.....we should wait for a detailed review.
6. ryq24 (Posts: 772; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
No matter what excuses they made about the lack of micro sd card slot, this phone will be a dud because of that. that is why samsung is number 1 right now coz their phone comes complete with all major basic specs. hope the upcoming sony xperia odin or yuga will have micro sd card slot.
9. Aeires (unregistered)
Epic fail. With the radio bands on and the screen only on half the time the battery dropped like a rock. 2020mAh, non-replaceable battery is pathetic. A phone with a screen like that would be great for playing games or videos on, but that's not going to happen for even an average amount of time.
19. ngo2dd (Posts: 896; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
more like you are. CNET all ready show it can last about 8 hour and 42 minute on the battery drain test. The S3 is only about 40 minute more.
24. Aeires (unregistered)
I guess the charts above are totally wrong then and CNet is right, who knew.
Were the radio bands on during those tests? Can't find a single bit of information if they were.
13. redmd (Posts: 1368; Member since: 26 Oct 2011)
I'm a bit skeptic about the battery life. what HTC device have a solid battery life?
27. b1acktiger (Posts: 223; Member since: 19 May 2012)
HTC Desire C :D
2 days !
14. verybeo (Posts: 29; Member since: 16 Jul 2012)
just like htc sensation before, up to the top and down to the bottom
20. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
I'm definitely not buying the battery life claims. I love the screen quality of my Rezound, but the stock battery was a major downer. I understand that they wanted to keep the DNA reasonably thin and light, but after seeing what a 720p screen did to a 1620 mAh battery, I can't imagine how a 1080p screen will drain a 2020 mAh battery. I like HTC's design and built quality, but they really need to improve their hardware choices. A 1-2 mm increase in thickness could have given it a few more hours of battery, and there would be a lot less squawking here.
32. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Yea my kids mother uses my Rezound.....and her biggest complaint is battery life.
Seems the folks who said that screen was gonna need a bigger battery were right. And what is the chip clocked to?
23. redsox420 (Posts: 90; Member since: 27 Aug 2012)
Another company tooting its horn about its own battery life. SHOW ME REAL WORLD RESULTS.. Not some lab created test.
Battery life on a phone with these specs will most likely be 10-12 hours at most and more like 8 hours with regular use. The tasks we use will determine the battery life but this will just die fast.
HTC needs to do these 3 things: A: Make this available to ALL US carriers. B: Sim slot & removable battery. C: See A & B to be competitive in the United States market again.
1% outside of Sammy & Big Fruity own the US market.. Not good news for HTC who is loosing billions a years.

Something that concerns me about this phone which I haven't seen mentioned is the long-term status of the sealed battery. Since lithium batteries lose their potency over time, what's the life going to be like in 6 or 12 months? I've already replaced both batteries I use in my Galaxy Nexus (I often carry a spare). Thoughts?

"HTC USA U.S. customers have easy access to cloud storage solutions through Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network and ample access to Wi-Fi..."
Wi-Fi is not always amply available, so not putting an expansion slot and Verizon forcing you on a limited plan for LTE is essentially screwing the customer over.

Hey there, time traveller!

BRANDON — It was decided by a fingernail after a measurement on the last skip rock in a nail-biter of a game.
The Shannon Birchard team from the St. Vital Curling Club won its second straight provincial junior women's curling crown on Monday afternoon at the Brandon Curling Club.
Team Birchard edged the Selena Kaatz team, also from St. Vital, 7-6 after the measurement favoured Birchard.
The junior men's final needed two extra ends to decide the 2013 provincial junior winner as skip Matt Dunstone of West Kildonan drew to the button with his last rock in the 12th end to defeat Daniel Birchard of Pembina 8-7.
The Shannon Birchard and Matt Dunstone teams will represent Manitoba at the Canadian Junior Curling Championships in Fort McMurray, Alta, Feb. 1-10.
"A draw to the button to win, it's a great way to win. They (Kaatz team) played so well, it was so close," said Shannon Birchard.
"It's the most amazing experience being there (at nationals). To go back and potentially get further than we did last year, that would be a great opportunity."
Kaatz and her second, Kristin MacCuish, were members of Shannon Birchard's team last year, which went on to win silver at nationals.
The Dunstone junior men's team was up 7-6 after nine ends and had the hammer coming home but Daniel Birchard stole one to tie the game and force the extra ends.
"It's the biggest thing we've all ever won," said Dunstone. "It means the world to me. My grandparents (Jim and Carol Dunstone) have done it (won a provincial and national mixed title) and I'm just following in the family footsteps."
The Birchards are a curling family too as Daniel is the older brother of Shannon.
Team Birchard also includes third Nicole Sigvaldason, second Sheyna Andries, lead Mariah Mondor and coach Bruce Birchard.
Dunstone's team members are third Colton Lott, second Daniel Grant, lead Brendan MacCuish and coach Scott Grant.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - Professional wrestler known as Hulk Hogan filed a lawsuit against the Tampa-based Laser Spine Institute, saying the clinic performed unnecessary surgeries that damaged his career.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that Hogan filed the lawsuit Monday morning in Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Court. He filed under his real name, Terry Bollea, and is seeking damages of $50-million.
In addition to claiming unnecessary surgeries, the lawsuit also says the Laser Spine Institute used an endorsement from Hogan without permission or payment. The Laser Spine Institute said in a statement Monday that it is aware of the lawsuit, but to protect patient privacy, it would not discuss the details of the case.

Libbey Stemless Goblet Collection
When we got married, we got beautiful crystal wineglasses, for red and white. I love them and I use them all the time, but they're Not Dishwasher Safe, which is a bummer because I'm laaaaazy and I hate to wash dishes. Fortunately, Target has me covered with these terrific stemless goblets. In two sizes! Dishwasher safe! And inexpensive! For the newlyweds or the new homeowner on your list. And me, of course.

Growing up in Texas I was first introduced to BBQ at Red Bryans in Dallas. Since then I have sampled BBQ over much of the world including some at a place called Texas BBQ in Hong Kong. I now live in Virginia where I have learned to put coleslaw on my pig bbq sandwich! Go figure.
While I can still get my fill of smoked ribs and brisket I fondly remember some BBQ that I cannot find anymore.
When I was a youngster in Texas we often drove into southside Dallas to buy BBQ from one of several corner grocery stores. It was usually big chunks of beef in a large electric cooker covered in a thin brown, greasy sauce. The marvelous aroma could be smelled before opening the store door. Does anyone else out there recall this delicious BBQ? Many small Mom & Pop places had some version of this great stuff.
If anyone has a recipe for this type of BBQ please let me know.

Castle Waiting, and its sequel, Castle Waiting 2 (Fantagraphics, 2006 and 2011), were originally available as a series of award-winning individual comic books. I'm hopeful that they'll gain a much-deserved wider reading audience now that the collection has been brought together and republished in two beautifully produced volumes. Beginning with a Sleeping Beauty-like backstory of her cursed birth, the tale extends outward as the hobgoblin-infested castle where Sleeping Beauty grew up becomes a sanctuary for anyone in need. Each of the motley crew at the heart of these tales has sought out the confines of the castle looking for support, friendship, and comfort. They include Jain, a pregnant aristocrat on the run from an arranged marriage; Beakie, a merchant; a horse-headed knight named Sir Destrier; a group of bearded nuns (who were once part of a circus); as well as various other, equally distinctive characters. In the second collection, we continue to learn more about all the appealing characters before they came to Castle Waiting; we also follow their ongoing interactions with one another. The black and white drawings are precisely drawn, with small endearing touches that render each character entirely unique. The dialogue is clever and filled with subtle grace notes of drollness and humor. The set will be especially appealing to readers of all ages who enjoy seeing and reading traditional fairy tale tropes teased and played with, all with a sense of good-humored fun. Once you've read them, I know you'll join those of us who are eagerly awaiting the appearance of Castle Waiting 3.

On Wednesday afternoon, Bobbi Kristina Brown was involved in a car accident in Georgia. Whitney Houston's 19-year-old daughter was attempting to drive out of her apartment complex in Alpharetta, Georgia when the accident took place. The teen apparently lost control of her vehicle, and struck a curb near the complex. After striking the curb, Brown's vehicle hit several trees before coming to a rest at the bottom of a hill.
A driver passing the area noticed the car wreck, and informed authorities. The late singer's daughter was standing outside of her vehicle when paramedics and police arrived, and she seemed to be uninjured in the accident. After an initial investigation, it was determined that alcohol and drugs probably did not play a role in the crash.
Brown was cited for failing to maintain the correct lane while operating a vehicle. The teenager expressed her gratitude for being unharmed in the incident on different social media outlets, including Twitter. Brown has been in the media a lot recently regarding the death of her famous mother, and also her relationship with her adopted brother.
