HOUSTON - A northwest Harris County store clerk was shot during a shootout with a robbery suspect.
The shooting happened shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday at Mo's Food Store in the 13500 block of Kuykendahl at Ella Boulevard.
Deputies said the robber walked into the store and demanded money from the clerk. After a struggle, the clerk was shot once. The clerk told investigators he was able to get his own gun and shoot twice at the robber. The clerk said he believes he hit the robber before the suspect fled the scene.
Harris County Precinct 4 deputy constables searched for the gunman with a K-9 unit in nearby woods, but the suspect escaped. Officials said he apparently had a getaway car waiting for him.
Investigators said hospitals have been put on notice to look for anyone with a gunshot wound.
The clerk was hospitalized in stable condition.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Precinct 4 Constable's Office at 281-376-3472.

A FORMER teacher due to be sentenced for sexual offences against children tomorrow has died after being struck by a train.
Police have confirmed that a body believed to be that of Hugh Henry, 82, was hit by a train close to London Underground Amersham Station on Tuesday evening.
A police spokesman said today: "Henry's next of kin has been informed and the incident is being investigated by British Transport Police."
Henry, of Pomeroy Close, Amersham, was one of the teachers at the centre of abuse allegations at the Caldicott Boys' Preparatory School in Farnham Royal.
He was due to be sentenced tomorrow, along with ex-headmaster Peter Wright, after previously admitting 11 counts of indecency with or towards a child, and two counts of gross indecency with a child.
Wright, 83, of Crown Lane, Farnham Royal, was found guilty of ten counts of indecent assault on a male and two of indecency with a child for offences carried out against five former pupils at the school at a trial in December. The abuse he committed took place between 1959 and 1970.
Another man was jailed in 2012 in connection with abuse at Caldicott.
John Addrison, aged 54, of Datchet Road, Slough, pleaded guilty to 14 counts of indecency with or towards a child, and was sentenced to five years imprisonment at Aylesbury Crown Court in November 2012. He will also remain on the sex offenders register for life.
David Geddes, aged 71, of Upper Wield, Hampshire, was acquitted by a jury last March, after being charged with four counts of indecent assault on a child under 16.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg attended the school from 1980 and spoke of his shock at the convictions last year.
British Transport Police were called to the railway line close to the Amersham London Underground station at around 6.30pm yesterday evening.
Two fire crews from Amersham also attended the scene near Hervines Park.
A British Transport Police spokesman said: "Officers from BTP and Thames Valley Police attended the incident, which was reported to BTP at 6.27pm and is currently being treated as non-suspicious.
"Medics from the South Central Ambulance Service also attended but the man was pronounced dead at the scene.
"The man's family have been informed and a file will be prepared for the coroner."

What Would Scooby Doo?
What can I say other than... hahahahahahahahaha... and I'm wearing this to church!
This shirt literally made me laugh out loud, which few products do. All my respect and recommendation to it!!!Tags: t-shirts, fashion, humor, Clothes, mens, apparel, comedy, Mens Clothing, mens fashionAdded 9 Years Ago from Busted Tees
I doubt I will ever understand the gloriousness of mustaches but I can appreciate them. Hence, the shirt.
There are some dominating comic geniuses right now (Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell ...) and they give us some great lines to carry around and repeat ad nauseum. Case in point: this shirt.
This shirt is pretty funny. They forgot sake, soju, krupnikas, and more ... imagine the possibilities!
When will some of that classic awesome SNL humor come back? Are the good ole' days of Sean Connery Jeopardy over?
I could make these things so easily when I was a kid. Now, I'd have to look up directions and it'd still come out looking like a mess. I guess I'll just have to settle for the eternal red/blue possibility.

I've been wearing these rings(bought 2) since the day they arrived. My intention was for them to be a ring guard on either side of wide wedding band. But i love the way one band looks for casual dress and truly have not taken it off. I think they are priced right.Read More
a beautiful diamond stack ring for the price, treat with care, it could bend from the weight of the diamonds. it sparkles and fits with all of my rings. I love it.Read More
The review title says it all.Read More
So this ring is what it is. Very delicate and not much to it. It is good for stacking which is what I bought it for and I needed something really delicate to not over power the main ring. So not something that I would wear a whole lot but occasionally.Read More
While the ring looked good when I got it within a week I noticed the stones where chippingRead More
When I saw the ring online it looked really cute, I liked that it was small and the price was good. After getting the ring, I'm really upset w/the buy. I should of listened to the person who said it's like having a washer on your finger because that's exactly what it's like.. oh well, my mistake. I'll learn to read the bad reviews and stick with that.Read More

POPULAR former councillor Anne Baxter was a woman who devoted her life to fighting for the underdog, according to her family.
The family and friends of the former Liberal Democrat councillor for Eastcott were left shellshocked after her death on Saturday following a stroke.
The 79-year-old was taken to the Great Western Hospital but she died at around 10pm.
Her widower, Ken, 79, said: "She had had part of her lung removed last year because it had cancerous nodes, but she was recovering.
"It came straight out of the blue."
Anne, a mother of three, grandmother of seven and great-grandmother of two, first became a councillor in 1998 shortly after retiring from her work as a radiographer.
Ken said: "She always had to be busy, she didn't like sitting around doing nothing.
"She started volunteering and then Stan Pajak asked her to run as a candidate for Eastcott.
Her daughter, Helen, 54, said: "I think she had always been a caring sort of person and she liked to fight for the underdog if she thought there was an injustice. She wasn't afraid to speak up either."
Anne was an admired member of the Liberal Democrat party, and once ran for mayor, missing out by one vote.
Stan Pajak, the leader of the Liberal Democrat party in Swindon, said: "She had all the attributes you would want from your councillor.
"She was a wonderful woman who really cared about her community and one of those people who were bound to become councillors at some stage in her life.
"Anne was such a campaigner for everything and was really devoted to her community in which she lived."
Ken said: "Even after she finished as a councillor she would get calls from people about things. And she was still a member of the planning committee and the mental health forum."
Anne was a keen sportswoman who met her husband at the badminton club at the Old Headlandians Association.
She also enjoyed playing golf at the Ogbourne Downs Golf Club, where she was captain in 1985.
She was devoted to her family. Helen said: "She was always a homemaker. "She was always there, whether it was looking after the grandchildren and making them cakes or helping in the community. "She was just there for everyone."

Acerca del libro
Surrounding each of us every day are the lives of people. Some individuals are people we know well - family members and those we call our loved ones. Others make up friendships, coworkers, and acquaintances. Some are faces we see every day or within the comfort and familiarity of our daily lives. The grocer, the crossing guard, the gas station attendant, individuals who we know by face, occasionally by first name, but consider them strangers to our private inner worlds.
The imagery in this book attempts to explore the intimacy of human expression be it joyful or troubled, loving or angry. For all moments of humanity are moments we share both together and in isolation. Humanity displayed in a simple yet complex expression or the lifelong pursuit of dance, music or service. Some images are not of human expressions, yet convey the results of humanity, both in its most beautiful and its most tragic forms.
The vast majority of the images displayed on these pages are of strangers, people whose names I do not know, yet are just as dear to those who know and love them as my own children are to me. For each stranger is someone's son or daughter, a human soul that may know us only by our familiar yet unnamed faces, or perhaps only appear for a brief moment in our lifetime.
That razor thin line of a moment just after the past and an instant before the future is what truly intrigues me about the moment of human expression. It is said that a moment is never to be recaptured, sealed in memory only to be remembered. I have captured brief instants of human lives in hopes that I have conveyed a window to who they are in that moment. And if I have been successful, they are strangers to each of us no more.

Factory Overclocked 8800 Roundupby Derek Wilson on 3/12/2007 12:05 AM EST

chizow - Tuesday, March 13, 2007 - linkCurious why you guys didn't do physical card/chip/memory kit inspections to see if there was any *real* difference between OC and non-OC'd cards besides stock BIOS settings and some new cooler stickers. Would've been nice to see some core revision #s, mfg. dates and memory IC pics.
The real test is whether the OC'd version parts have significantly more headroom than the vanilla versions that for the most part, can OC as high as these OC versions with ease.
The only factor left which you touched on but didn't see you follow up on was the clock speed of the shader core. Initially I was under the impression the shader core could only be adjusted by altering the BIOS but a few others have mentioned the shader core scales proportionately with core OCs. Reply
DerekWilson - Tuesday, March 13, 2007 - linkboth your assertions on shader core are true to a degree. the shader core can only be adjusted on its own through the bios. but increasing core clock through the driver will increase the shader clock speed as well. Reply
Palamedes - Tuesday, March 13, 2007 - linkI'm missing the Gainward card (Bliss 8800GTS Golden Sample). I bought it four weeks ago, so it definetely IS available. It is running at 550/880/1350, so it theoretically fits the gap between the BFG and the EVGA... Reply
Some1ne - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkSeems to me like the article should have also investigated the potential of the cards to overclock beyond their factory overclocked settings. Then maybe it would have had to say "in spite of the fact that this card offers the best cooling it doesn't come with the highest clock speeds, which is a bit of a disappointment especially for the most expensive card of this roundup" about the Sparkle card, because maybe it would have turned out to have the most headroom out of all of the cards.
Given that nearly every CPU and video card review published on this site includes an overclocking section, it seems odd that this article did not. Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkYou do have a point about the Sparkle card -- but we already tested a card with this cooler back when the 8800 GTX launched. Overclocking wasn't significantly better than stock cooled cards.
Generally, we would not recommend buying factory overclocked cards with the intention of manually overclocking them. You'll save a lot of money and get good results by going with stock cards and manually setting fan speed to 100%. Alternately, the savings can be used to invest in exotic cooling.
The value in these cards is in their factory settings and users not interested in this should avoid them in my opinion. Reply
ViRGE - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkThere's not much worth testing on overclocking high-end cards, IMHO. They're all built using the reference design, they're not going to overclock significantly differently with just different cooling. Reply
mostlyprudent - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkI was somewhat surprised to notice that in many of the benchmarks, the performance advantage of the GTX cards over the GTS cards scaled pretty consistantly with their price premium. For example the EVGA GTX often performed about 25% better than the EVGA GTS card with costs about 25% less.
It seems that in the past, the performance difference was much smaller than the price diference between the top two ultra high end models. Reply
DigitalFreak - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkSUCKER! Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkThere is one angle we weren't able to cover -- the difference between oc'd and stock GTX cards might have a higher impact in future games ... Certainly we can only recommend cards based on the tests we have available. And while you put it a little more bluntly, our recommendation reflects the fact that spending more money on highly overclocked GTX parts does not net a proportionate return. Reply
guptasa1 - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkI noticed there's an OC2 of the BFG offering that's overclocked further than the OC. It'd be interesting to see how it compares to these cards as I'm leaning towards this one for my new system. Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkThis launched a week ago and we were not able to get ahold of the OC2 cards for this review. We may look at them in the future though. Reply
jniles - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkwell I take evga over bfg, you compare apples to oranges (acs3 to stock)
If you take the price premium for the cooler out the evga wins
same or lower price
higher oc
step up program
DerekWilson - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkWhat really is the price premium for it? The XFX card is about $620 at slightly lower clock speeds with stock cooling.
I'm also not a fan of the step up program the way it is now. Maybe if they extend it a year or so I'd be more impressed. As it is, it's only really valuable if you buy a card right before faster ones come out. Reply
jniles - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkthe EVGA KO edition is $60 more @ the egg , the SUPERCLOCKED version compares with the BFG that you used and is $30 less AR with a higher oc to boot.
While I agree that the step up program is short, there is no competition !!!!
And I did use this program when I purchased a 7800 gt and stepped up to a 7900 gt oc (for about $30 shipped) when they launched. Not sure if I will catch the bus this year though (8800 to 8900)
When can we expect the 8900's ? Reply
yyrkoon - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkI find it a bit dubious that you would give the editors award to a card based on price ?! That and the fact that eVGA does all this using stock cooling ? Why no mention of RMA / replacement 'issues' ?
Look guys, I can write my own reviews, on OC'd cards, and choose the best card based on the prettiest graphics, that would not make me 'right'. I thought the whole idea was to benchmark the cards, and pick the card based on the best performer that was able to achieve these speeds stably ?
Now, since we've already been thrown askew, by the obvious 'conclusion' here why dont we talk about part replacement, or the 'gee, I'm already paying $550 for a graphics card, but another $150 is just too much for the best' factor. Why even pick any of these, and why not pick a 7600GT, because it is obviously MUCH cheaper than all these "overpriced cards' . . . Starting to see my point ?
*sigh* Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkThis is a roundup of 8800 series cards. Given that the largest performance improvement over stock for the GTX was less than 10% (average of maybe 5% at 2560x1600, and less at any lower resolution), and considering the EVGA card was at best about 5% faster than the BFG (and margin of error is at least 2% in testing), would you recommend people spend $620 for the EVGA ACS3 GTX card over the $580 BFG card? We wouldn't - and both companies come with lifetime warranties.
Or are you implying the Sparkle card is the "best"? Because that's not really supported by the article in any way. Cooler? Perhaps, but only with lower clocks. Quieter? Yes, but $150 for a quieter card while useful to some isn't what we would generally recommend. It's an interesting card, but with very limited availability, a higher price, and warranty/support that's a bit questionable for much of our audience, it is at best an intriguing card.
The EVGA GTS card shows much better performance improvements, simply because the system is becoming more GPU limited (in some games) at higher resolutions. In the end, the awards given out are for what we feel are the best 8800 GTX and GTS 640 cards; we certainly wouldn't recommend the GTX to many users out there, but if you're in the market for a GTX anyway, the BFG is a good card, and the EVGA is a close second (or it's first if you don't care about price and think you'll see the extra 5% performance). Reply
yyrkoon - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkWell, If the margin for error is truely 2%, then sure, the speed difference could only be 3% more in favor of eVGAs card vs the BFG card, however, this also works in the reverse, it could be as high as 7% faster.
For me, the process of buying anything comes down to, getting the best I can possibly get for the amount of money I am prepared to spend. Speed does play a factor in my purchasing descission somewhat, but takes a back seat to things like: what is the companies reputation for dealing with their customers, how much do I really want to spend on other components that are required for the part (IE, will my current power suppy handle the added load of product I am considering purchasing, and if not, do I really want to buy another one), etc.
However, all this being said, I belived this to be an article about finding the fastest 8800 card, and praising it, not 'compromising'. You, all at anandtech, just like me are entitled to your own opinions though . . .
Personally, I would not even consider one of these cards, they cost way more than I'm willing to spend, and I consider myself a very serious gamer, BUT, if I had the cash to blow, it would most likely buy something from eVGA, and something fast. This is not to say that sparkle does not have a good reputation, because from my experiences, and what I've read, they treat their customers very well, but the combination of the TEC unit on the card (drawing too much power, and it is still relitively new technology in computers), I would probably balk at buying it. They do make very good (or have in the past) ATI cards though. Reply
AmbroseAthan - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkI feel the 40 extra dollars is worth it for the EVGa card. While they both have lifetime warranties, EVGa's covers overclocking. So you could buy the card and push it farther then it currently is. You are also allowed to switch the Heatsink without the warranty being voided, as long as you replace it with the stock one if you need to RMA. Reply
DerekWilson - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkI'd also like to add that our recommendations are based on what we see as the most important aspects of the product.
The EVGA GTX is absolutely the fastest card we've got. If that's what you want, the article is clear on which card you should buy.
Our goal is to provide the best information possible throughout the article so that everyone interested in the topic can make their own decisions based on the data. We hope our recommendations will be helpful to people, but they are no substitute for the rest of the article. Reply
rallyhard - Monday, March 12, 2007 - linkWell put. Reply

Samsung Galaxy Note II Review
0. phoneArena posted on 24 Sep 2012, 08:40
The GALAXY Note carved a brand new niche for itself, and more than 10 million units have been sold so far. Now we have its successor, the Note II, which transitions the Note family feel from the I'm-with-dork to an oversized-Galaxy-S-III-with-stylus impression. It also ups the ante with a much more ergonomic S Pen stylus that learned new tricks, a larger 5.5" screen in a thinner, narrower body, die-shrunk quad-core processor, and 2GB of RAM. Are there other improvements in store? Read on our review to find out...

A FORMER Mayor of Worcester has welcomed a £900,000 kitty to help the vulnerable as new figures revealed how the city is bucking national trends.
A national two-year scheme to help people "in crisis" has struggled to take off, with £67 million of government funds yet to be spent around the country.
New data shows how the project, managed by councils, has yet to reach enough people, with many local authorities saying they are struggling to publicise it properly.
In nearby Herefordshire, just one per cent of the £377,000 earmarked towards it for year one has been used, with the council there saying there is not enough demand for it.
Half of all councils still have 60 per cent of their funds for the first financial year, which ended last month, leftover.
The situation is the reverse in Worcester, where almost every penny of the £445,000 put aside in 2013/14 has been used up.
Last year, Worcester City Council agreed to run the scheme for the entire south of the county, including Malvern and Wychavon.
Councillor Roger Berry, cabinet member for health and well-being and a former mayor, said: "The money was given to the county council first but they decided to hand it to the districts to see if we wanted to run it.
"I think our figures are down to the good, successful relationship the council has with the voluntary sector. We rely on their assessments of people's needs.
"Clearly, there is a need for help in Worcester and our figures show that.
"A lot of it is spent on families being re-housed. I know the LGA (Local Government Association) is lobbying to the Government to get it extended and we support that."
In south Worcestershire 1,400 people applied for help from the kitty, of which 946 were from Worcester.
In Worcester 44 per cent of vouchers went towards household items, 31 per cent energy costs and 25 per cent on food.
The approach is to not offer cash, but give out vouchers that can be redeemed.
For the 2014/15 financial year south Worcestershire's allocation is £445,000.
The Government, which used to run a crisis loan scheme via the Department for Work and Pensions, has refused to reveal if it will be extended beyond 2015.

WITNEY'S Christmas lights switch-on could be cancelled this year due to the financial cost and "dangerous" crowd numbers.
Witney Town Council is instead considering holding smaller events, such as lantern processions, over several days before Christmas.
The added cost of security for Prime Minister David Cameron's attendance has also been raised by organisers as a cause for concern. Last year's lights switch-on was attended by about 8,000 people and cost £38,000, including £2,300 for security.
The event drew protestors and a woman was arrested while Mr Cameron, the MP for Witney, was on stage switching on the lights.
Mayor Harry Eaglestone said: "My plan is to try to spread it over three days at different venues, but not have an official switch-on, no road closure and no David Cameron because it costs us a lot of money and we had criticism from the district council because of the number of people there.
"We cannot go on like we have been. The cost is unbelievable and the crowd control is getting dangerous."
He added: "As much as we like him as our MP and he does an awful lot for the area, David Cameron attending is proving to be too costly."
Mr Eaglestone said the town council would approach Witney's Lions, Rotary and Round Table groups to organise events.
They could involve a lantern procession featuring primary school children, and carol singing in Market Square.
The 2012 switch-on cost the town council £45,568, including £14,000 to install and remove the lights, £14,978 for staff and £2,300 for security.
About £7,000 of this was retrieved through businesses sponsoring the event.
Town council officers recommended "scaling down" the event in a report on the council's budget for 2013/14.
The document said: "Officers are concerned about the amount of time and budget afforded to this event, especially in times when the council has pressing issues it needs to address with other services and facilities.
"Security and marshalling of the event is a big concern, especially given the attraction to local and national activists."
Mr Cameron said: "I understand Witney Town Council has consulted with all those involved. I have asked to be kept in the loop with plans for this year's festive celebrations, which I am sure will be a huge success."
The issue will be discussed at the town council's leisure and recreation committee meeting on Monday, from 6pm.

Fight for Android yes, but where is Google in all of this? Hiding in the cupboard or something???
Its time Google made a stand and ended this once and for all.

That's the spirit! Just for saying that, I'm gonna support Samsung to the end! Apple started this fight, and they're gonna finish it, whether it ends with Android's death or not...

Apple+Microsoft=patents trolls.....unable to innovate so they behave like a child
6. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Apple doesnt have any real patents to deserve that sort of money. they dont have anything over android's head that could seriously hurt it. MS did. Napkin drawings and slide to unlock are not going to get you a big payday,Apple. Go.. to... Hell! :)

That's right Shin Jong-kyun, take out your Samurai sword and chop up Apple into some iLoMein.

They're Korean, not Japanese
16. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Very true
They have swords and martial arts but it is definately not a "samurai sword".. lol
18. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
And lo mein is Chinese
17. PAPINYC (banned) (Posts: 2315; Member since: 30 Jul 2011)
Nevertheless, they have access to various types of swords and kitchen knives and, therefore, can somehow iLoMein Apples or iChop iSuey them.

I suspect Apple is pushing for an early settlement because it sees the risk it faces from Google's notification function patent application.
Can you imagine iOS without a notification function? Better yet, a notification function that doesn't notify the user when an e-mail has been received?

My Washing Machine broken.
And to support samsung in battle against Apple.
I buy new US$ 800 Samsung washing machine.
I hope the profit from that washing machine can help samsung kick apple ass.

oh android fanboys. the worst kind.
they all wanted apple to stop suing and oh look, they tried. Samsung refused, all of a sudden, now everyone wants the lawsuits to go on.
call me a troll all you want, but i own 2 samsung products. Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy Nexus.
15. viper5208 (Posts: 3; Member since: 07 Mar 2012)
I am with you here. Just the other day when apple was trying to make nice everyone was all for that, now it is samsung that doesn't want to play nice and everyone is all up in arms about taking apple down.
I own many samsung devices, both my wifes phone and mine are samsung. Seriously though this stuff has got to stop soon it is really bad for business and especially for new innovation.
20. bayusuputra (Posts: 963; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
when will apple play nice? they want to get as much as $25 per handset.. so it's either you don't make anymore phones, or you pay us that much.. obviously Samsung wouldn't want to be treated unfairly.. after all, who started this? and then apple is now losing and start doing patent licensing? oh, cmon.. they don't want to play nice, they want the money, or the competitors to go down the drain..
if they really want to play nice, then drop all lawsuits, they are based only on some generalised technology which already existed, or some paper napkin drawings..
if apple want to stop playing dirty, then i'm with them.. but if they still want to extract money or destroy others, then they should just taste their own medicine..
25. ithinkimjoe (Posts: 25; Member since: 19 Jan 2012)
samsung has lost more than apple in the courts, and they're being investigated by the govt somewhere in europe for potentially violating their FRAND agreements.
and if by losing, you mean the worlds most valuable and profitable company, then there must be a new definition of losing.
i would imagine apple's just getting tired of all the suits, and it'd be simpler to just license. plus the thermonuclear was Job's concept. not necessarily Apple as a whole.
regardless of what they are based on, which most of them are BS, they still own the rights to them.
19. VZWuser76 (Posts: 4783; Member since: 04 Mar 2010)
What's funny is everone is overlooking how much apple wants to settle for. It's right around 2% of the total cost, a figure that apple said was too high to pay to Moto in their lawsuit with them. So how is it ok for apple to ask for that figure, but unfair for Moto to do the same?
I want these patent lawsuits to stop just as much as everyone, but apple seems to think that different rules should apply to them. I think the best solution is a standardized settlement. No injunctions or banning of devices, unless they don't pay when found in violation of patents. Go with a flat percentage of 1.5%. While it may seem small, if the one paying does a lot of sales, it will figure to a nice chunk of change for the patent holder. If they don't do a lot of sales, it also won't hurt the smaller companies too much.
Besides that, have a rule that if your patent isn't in constant development that it would go upfor grabs. And by that I mean real research that would end up with the patent materializing into a product within 5 years. That should eliminate patent trolls who sit on patents and do nothing with them but wait for someone else to need them and sue them if they try to.
21. bayusuputra (Posts: 963; Member since: 12 Feb 2012)
i'm with your suggestion all the way.. yeah, i think apple has their heads too big thinking that they are the most valuable tech company right now that they expect to be treated like a king..
24. DigitalJedi_X2 (banned) (Posts: 346; Member since: 30 Jan 2012)
Exactly!! How can Apple offer the same thing Motorola offered them and said it was unfair and too much but when Apple offers it it's fair? This company truly lives in it's own plane of reality where everything they so is fair and just and everyone else is unfair and evil. Seriously, did they even think before offering this deal?
34. frydaexiii (Posts: 1475; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
1) I hate Apple and everything/everyone they stand for
2) I love using Android
So with these 2 in mind, I don't want a single cent of my money spent on my Android device going to Apple at all. and lastly :
3) Apple started this fight, so why should Samsung give in?
22. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
lol.. all the haters... damm.. sorry Samsung.. is not like you have a winning track record versus Apple... but ok have it your way... feel sorry for the samsung kids around here.. they will also suffer... go Apple !!!.
23. DigitalJedi_X2 (banned) (Posts: 346; Member since: 30 Jan 2012)
So because we're for Samsung not bending over for Apple we're all somehow haters? Does that make sense to you? Apple started with the patent trolling against Samsung and now Samsung should just accept their offer to be @$$ raped out of money? Typical CR@pple fanboy blindly defending a company that has little morals and no innovation. And Apple thought the very same agreement was unfair when Motorola presented it to them but it's OK for them to present it to others? Without acting like the total blind Apple fanboy that you are, tell me how is that fair business practice?
26. gallitoking (Posts: 4721; Member since: 17 May 2011)
well yes.. they should.. thats the price for copying... Moto doesnt copy ..look at the motorola products.. and look at Samsung,... even touchwiz.
32. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
hey gallito,
if you pinch your screen on an iphone, does it pull up all screens at once? it does on touch wiz
can you put any 5 icons on the bottom row and make them static across all screens? you can on touch wiz
can you organize your apps in any way you see fit in the app drawer? you can on touch wiz
can you add widgets and make most all system changes from the main system menu? you can on android.
are you able to use scrollable widgets? you can on touch wiz
does it come with built in apps that put all your FB, Twitter, G+ and whatever else into 1 neat scrollable widget? u can on TW.
can you pinch the screen, then rearrange and +/- all the different screens in any way you want? you can on TW
so.. umm... what exactly did touchwiz copy from apple? Icons?? lol. No those were there since windows 3.1 or before buddy. Get... a..... clue :)

I think all the patent wars should just stop... Nothing but corporate greed. All the cost will just eventually come back and hit the consumers.

An appeal for children's books to fill the shelves of Westwood with Iford Primary School's new community library has been launched.
Key Stage One and Upper Key Stage Two fiction books are needed for the library, which opens this month to all children in the village who register for the service, not just children on the school roll.
The scheme was first proposed over two years ago, when a small extension to the school created space for a library and reading area.
Friends of Westwood School received funding from Bradford on Avon Area Board which went towards purchasing library software and hardware that will enable the school to function in a similar fashion to a public library.
Edmund Harrison, a parent and Friends committee member, said: "The library has been an exciting project to be involved with, and has changed significantly over the years.
"Initially our plan was pretty superficial but we quickly realised that a complete overhaul was needed and that prompted us to be more ambitious.
"Our aim is that a visit to the library will become an easy and natural every day event, and that all local children will be enthused to read more.
"We do not intend to replace or compete with the public library service, but we hope to complement it with a community service that is local and accessible."
As the library will be staffed by volunteers, it will have limited opening hours during term times only, but these will be convenient for parents and carers, and will coincide with school pick up times.
The restocking is expected to be completed within the next two months, and it is hoped that the library will be fully open during the course of May.
Headteacher Ian Rockey said: "I have been very touched by the generosity and support of the local community during this project, including parents and non-parents, the Area Board and our local parish council.
"The children at the school are already really excited, and I hope we will be able to share that excitement with other children in the community, be they at other local schools, home educated or perhaps just staying with friends or grandparents locally."

I am in awe…seriously. I had to stop, right in the middle of what I was doing, to write this post.
For a lot of us, we've had to deal with being told that fat is ugly. And that we are not worthy of fashion, because we don't fit the fashion industries mold. That's total BS!
As I was flipping through Plus Model Magazine's Swimsuit Issue, I didn't realize I could be affected like this. I was almost brought to tears (of happiness). Finally, a magazine gets it!
This special issue brings together five very talented photographers, to shoot these beautiful curvy women.
I pray that you, teens and young women look at this and know that you are beautiful. And that you do look like the models in the magazines…Plus Model Magazine.
Please take a few minutes to check out this special issue.
On a side note-I'd just like to let you all know that I am now the Shopping Editor of Plus Model Magazine. I am so very honored and humbled to be a part of this amazing team. xoxo

The day of the competition was a beautiful, sunny fall day in the small village of Carrbridge, Scotland. The air was crisp and emotions were high. Matt and I chopped and prepped all of our ingredients and were ready to roll without much anxiety at about half past eleven. The traditional parade began at 11:45 am with Matt proudly holding the Golden Spurtle. A lively band of Scottish pipers and drummers followed behind our champ, leading the way for a rather rowdy bunch of competitors and spectators.
Matt competed in the first heat and performed admirably with his porridge and specialty Savory Oat Fritters looking better than ever. Sadly, this was not our day. We did not make it into the second round of the competition and pinned all of our hopes on our fritters. While the judges and the spectators loved our "little oat cakes," they did not win the Specialty Category. Instead the category was won by our good friend from Calgary, Catherine Caldwell, with her concoction that was named Canadian Cranberry Apple Crunch. I will admit that I did get the lucky privilege of tasting her dish and it was outstanding. Catherine and her husband, John, stayed at the Fairwinds with us last year and are simply the nicest folks and we're very pleased that she won.
The big winner was Neil Robertson from Auchtermuchty, who won using his own invention, the Spon—a double-sided spoon of sorts. His oats won the hearts of the judges and secured him as the new World Porridge Champion.
Now, I know what you're thinking and let me assure you that our team was a bit disappointed not to win, but we gave it our best shot and we are proud of the work we put in creating our dishes. We're busy thinking about what next year will be like and very happy for the winners—especially Catherine. Really, it was hard for me not to root for her- she is a sweet woman who may just love porridge more than we do, if that's possible.
Congrats Catherine!

With much anticipated 2nd album 'thefearofmissingout' due for release on 17th September, Dhani Harrison's collective thenewno2 announce an intimate London Dingwalls show for 19th September.
thenewno2 (as in "the new No. 2," a line borrowed from TV's The Prisoner) is a London/Los Angeles based group led by singer/guitarist Dhani Harrison, Paul Hicks (keyboards/programming), Jonathan Sadoff (keyboards/guitar), Jeremy Faccone (guitar), Nick Fyffe (bass), and Frank Zummo (drums).
Since its inception, Harrison has tirelessly expanded thenewno2 as an art collective. Along with designing all its own packaging and artwork, thenewno2 directs its own videos (including the wonderfully trippy "Another John Doe," from their 2009 debut You Are Here). In addition, thenewno2 releases their music through H.O.T. Records Ltd., the self-helmed record label that allows the band to fulfill its ambition of operating wholly independently of the mainstream music industry.
September 17th, the band will release their second full-length album, thefearofmissingout. Employing a combination of live and programmed instruments and adding in obscure samples to create an intricate collage of electronica sounds, the sonic textures in thefearofmissingout were enhanced by Harrison as well as guest vocalists RZA, Ben Harper, The Black Knights, Thorunn Antonia (Fields, Beck's Record Club) and Holly Marilyn (The Child).
In-between albums Dhani Harrison formed Fistful of Mercy, a NPR top rated side project with Ben Harper and Joseph Arthur, Jon Sadoff composed two major motion pictures (Good Old Fashion Orgy, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World) and Paul Hicks won his 3rd Grammy in Sound Engineering.
Thenewno2 will be heading to London this September:
Wed 19th September - London Dingwalls – 0207403 3331

Former Lion Continuing Impact in the Classroom
SAINT LEO, Fla. – Former men's soccer midfielder Bruce Cutler was recently named a recipient of the NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship award; it was announced at NCAA headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The award, which is granted to the top-29 athletic and academic performing student–athletes from the each season of competition, grants Cutler $7,500.00 in tuition to further his studies at another institution.
He is currently on track to graduate in May with a degree in Mathematics.
"Being awarded the prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship is a tremendous honor for me. It is an excellent reward for the hard work and dedication I have attempted to put forth both on and off the field during my time at Saint Leo," Cutler stated.
"Above all, I would like to express my gratitude to the members of the Saint Leo community who made this award possible, most notably those who provided testimonies for me as part of the nominations process." He continued, "In addition, I would like to thank Coach Harrison and the various members of the faculty who have pushed me on a daily basis to maximize my potential in all aspects of my life."
"I look forward to starting work on my Master's degree in Computer Science in the fall. Although it will be a strange feeling to leave Saint Leo, I will carry with me many fond memories after an incredible past four years as a student-athlete here," Cutler concluded.
During his tenure as a Lion, he compiled 50 points from the midfield position, registering 18 goals and 14 assists over the span 63 games. As a senior, he tied his career high for goals in a season with six and surpassed his previous season-high in assists (four), also with six.
Cutler also solidified five game-winning tallies over 62 starts and was a perfect 10-for-10 from the penalty-kick area.
In addition, over his four year Cutler earned spots on the CoSIDA All-Academic team, as well as the All-Sunshine State Conference, Daktronics, and NSCAA All-District nods.
About the Postgraduate Scholarship
The NCAA awards up to 174 postgraduate scholarships annually, 87 for men and 87 for women. The scholarships are awarded to student-athletes who excel academically and athletically and who are at least in their final year of intercollegiate athletics competition.
The one-time grants of $7,500 each are awarded for fall sports, winter sports and spring sports. Each sports season (fall, winter and spring), there are 29 scholarships available for men and 29 scholarships available for women. The scholarships are one-time, non-renewable grants.
Postgraduate Mission Statement
The NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship was created in 1964 to promote and encourage postgraduate education by rewarding the Association's most accomplished student-athletes through their participation in NCAA championship and/or emerging sports. Athletics and academic achievements, as well as campus involvement, community service, volunteer activities and demonstrated leadership, are evaluated. An equitable approach is employed in reviewing each applicant's nomination form to provide opportunity to all student-athlete nominees to receive the postgraduate award, regardless of sport, division, gender or race. In maintaining the highest broad-based standards in the selection process, the program aims to reward those individuals whose dedication and effort are reflective of those characteristics necessary to succeed and thrive through postgraduate study in an accredited graduate degree program.

STATEHOUSE (Jan. 31, 2013) — Legislation authored by State Sen. Travis Holdman (R-Markle) to support military families passed the Senate this week with a unanimous vote. It now moves to the House of Representatives for further consideration.
Senate Bill 165 would expand eligibility for certain veterans' property tax deductions to deceased veterans' surviving spouses. The legislation would also allow veterans with higher-value homes to qualify for the deductions.
"Veterans and their spouses both make incredible sacrifices for our country," Holdman said. "The purpose of this bill is to thank them for their service and provide help to their families. With the unemployment rate for post-9/11 veterans at 12 percent, these heroes deserve our help and thanks."
Twelve senators joined Holdman's efforts and were added as coauthors. The House sponsor is Rep. Dan Leonard (R-Huntington).

General Education Overview - Independent/Out-of-State Colleges and Universities
Independent (or private) colleges and universities sometimes permit transfer students to follow a general education pattern of courses while completing admission requirements and lower-division prerequisites for a major. General Education patterns usually consist of a variety of courses from a broad range of disciplines, which are designed to give breadth of education.
Many California independent colleges and universities accept coursework from the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or California State University General Education/Breadth pattern (CSUGE^) to satisfy all or a portion of their lower-division general education requirements. Keep in mind that some independent institutions require certification of IGETC or CSUGE^ in order to grant transfer credit.
For a partial list of California independent and out-of-state schools that may accept IGETC or CSUGE^, visit the Transfer Planning Articulation Agreements page. Students should also contact the admissions office of the four-year college or university to confirm acceptance of IGETC and CSUGE^.
Some California independent colleges and universities require transfer students to possess an Associate degree and may include additional or specialized course requirements (e.g. foreign language, religion, writing courses) for admission. To see a list of course requirements for transfer admission to over fifty(50) California independent colleges and universities, visit www.CaliforniaColleges.edu (NOTE: The information provided on this list is to be used for advising purposes only and does not constitute an official articulation agreement with any of the campuses included. Requirements are subject to change without notification, so it is important that prospective transfer students consult the four-year institution directly.

Fig Holiday Roll
This festive dessert makes a beautiful addition to your holiday feast.
- Servings: 16
Source: Martha Stewart Living, December/January 1999
For the Cake
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick), melted and cooled, plus more for pan and foil
- 1 pound soft dried figs, stems removed, quartered
- 1/4 cup dried currants
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 slices white bread
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons chopped Candied Kumquats, (optional)
- 2 tablespoons crystallized ginger, (optional)
For the Filling and Garnish
- 2 pounds mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- Red currants, for garnish
- Candied Kumquats, for garnish
- Raspberry Coulis
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make the cake: Butter an 18-by-12-inch jelly-roll pan. Line with parchment paper, and butter the parchment. Place figs, dried currants, and milk in a medium saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until liquid is absorbed, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat, place mixture in the bowl of a food processor, and process until it is a thick paste (it should not be completely smooth). Set aside.
Sift flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside. Tear bread into small pieces; place in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until even crumbs form, about 10 pulses, to yield about 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs.
Place eggs in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat on high speed until frothy. Add reserved fig mixture, breadcrumbs, kumquats, ginger (if using), and melted butter. Mix until combined. With mixer on low speed, add reserved flour mixture; mix until just combined.
Bring about 3 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Using an offset spatula, spread batter as evenly as possible in prepared pan. Cover pan loosely with buttered aluminum foil, and place on middle rack in oven. Place a baking pan filled with the boiling water on rack beneath cake. Bake until cake is springy and a cake tester comes out clean, about 40 minutes, rotating once halfway through baking time. Remove from oven, and set on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Lay a clean kitchen towel and a sheet pan over cake, and invert cake onto towel. Allow to cool for 10 minutes. Roll gently, using towel as a guide, curling the cake without applying too much pressure, to prevent excessive cracking. Allow roll to remain wrapped in towel for 10 minutes. Unroll, and cool to room temperature. Don't worry if there are some breaks in the cake; once filled it can be rolled with cracked pieces on bottom.
Make the filling: Combine mascarpone, cream, and confectioners' sugar in a large bowl; fold until smooth. Place mixture in refrigerator until ready to use; it will be easier to roll cake if cheese mixture is cold. Using an offset spatula, spread chilled mascarpone mixture evenly over unrolled cake. Roll up again inside kitchen towel, forming a 17 1/2-inch-long log: Leaving the cake ends exposed, bring the towel's edges up over the top of the cake, and roll, applying pressure to the sides. Secure with clothespins or plastic binder clips to make a cylindrical log shape. Chill rolled cake for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Allow to stand at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
Just before serving, trim off ends of the cake, forming a 16-inch-long log. Slice into 1-inch-thick servings. Garnish with red currants, candied kumquats, and raspberry coulis, if desired.

Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is stiffness, pain, and
limited range of movement in your
shoulder. It may happen after an injury or overuse or from a disease such as diabetes or
a stroke. The tissues around
the joint stiffen, scar tissue forms, and shoulder movements become difficult
and painful. The condition usually comes on slowly, then goes away slowly over the course of a year or more.
Frozen shoulder can develop when you stop using the joint
normally because of pain, injury, or a chronic health condition, such as
diabetes or a stroke. Any shoulder problem can lead to frozen shoulder if you
do not work to keep full range of motion.
Frozen shoulder occurs:
Your doctor may suspect frozen shoulder if a
physical exam reveals limited shoulder movement. An X-ray may be done to see whether symptoms are from another condition such as arthritis or a broken bone.
Treatment for frozen shoulder usually starts with
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and
application of heat to the affected area, followed by gentle stretching. Ice
and medicines (including corticosteroid injections) may also be used to
reduce pain and swelling. And physical therapy can help increase your range of
motion. A frozen shoulder can take a year or more to get better. But if treatment is not helping, surgery is sometimes done to loosen some of the tight tissues around the shoulder. This surgery is often done with an arthroscope.
Gentle, progressive range-of-motion exercises, stretching, and
using your shoulder more may help prevent frozen shoulder after surgery or an injury. Experts don't know what causes some cases of frozen shoulder, and it may not be possible to prevent these. But be patient and follow your doctor's advice. Frozen shoulder nearly always gets better over time.

and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) is a governmental institute that serves the public
and health professionals by providing information, locating other information
sources, and participating in a national federal database of health
information. NIAMS supports research into the causes, treatment, and prevention
of arthritis and musculoskeletal and skin diseases and supports the training of
scientists to carry out this research.

WILTSHIRE Fire & Rescue Service is again warning motorists not to drive through floodwater if they don't know the depth.
Heavy rain last night has led to localised flooding around the county, and the strong winds also caused trees and debris to blow down into the roads.
Since yesterday morning, the service has rescued 11 people from vehicles stuck in flood water. This included two women whose car was stuck in 2ft of water on the road between Somerford Keynes and Minety in the early hours of this morning.
Overnight, we also attended at four properties – in Easton, Tilshead and Minety – to assist householders who had flooding in their homes. The Salisbury aerial appliance was mobilised at 6.23pm yesterday evening so that Christmas lights that had blown down in Blue Boar Row could be retrieved.
If you are driving through areas affected by flooding, please follow this advice: • Don't drive through standing water - as well as the water damaging your car, there may be hazards under the surface you can't see. If you see a sign to say that the road is closed due to flooding, remember the sign is there for a reason. Don't try to drive through or you might get stuck.
• If you are driving a larger vehicle, do not go through flood water at speed as this creates a 'bow wave' that can then cause flooding to adjacent properties. Road closures are often there to protect properties, so please don't try to drive through.
• When driving, if heavy rain is making visibility difficult, pull over if possible.
• Remember that roads will be slippery during wet conditions.
• The heavy winds of last night will have left debris on many roads, so take extra care.
If you know your home is at risk of flooding, prepare a list of useful phone numbers and keep it somewhere safe.
Also: • If your home does start to flood, turn off your electricity supply.
• For sewage leaks contact your water company.
• If you have an elderly or vulnerable family member or neighbour who is at risk of flooding, contact them to ensure they are prepared and know what to do should their home flood.
• If you think floodwater might enter your home, move valuables and other items upstairs to safety.
For further advice, you can:
• Listen out for warnings on radio and TV
• Phone Floodline 0845 988 118
• Visit the Environment Agency website at environment-agency.gov.uk
• People can visit wiltshire.gov.uk/floodinganddrainage for advice when flooding occurs

Dallas' "gay Latino godfather" Jesus Chairez is participating in a project to produce a national history of gay Latino activism.
Chairez, who was appointed president of LGBT radio station KNON's board of directors in October, said he recently resigned from that position to focus on the history project and to allow more time for travel in Mexico.
Serving on the KNON board was rewarding, but the volunteer work was time-consuming, said Chairez, who returned to Dallas last year after retiring in Mexico City. He lived there for three years and plans to return there for a long visit this summer.
"It was a full-time job," said Chairez of his KNON work. "I was not following my dream. Since being on the board I had not blogged, not written a column, nor even started my own book."
Chairez and several other gay Latino writers are cooperating in the writing of the planned book "Latina/o GLBT Activism in the U.S. and Puerto Rico: A Social History." The writers will present first-person narratives about events they witnessed from the 1970s through the 1990s. The release of the book is planned for this summer.
"This project is a response to both the invisibility within mainstream Latina/o organizations, and a gringo GLBT movement," Chairez said in a statement. "This book aims to preserve our GLBT Latino history as Latinas/os and activists as we experienced it, and in that sense my contribution is essential."
