SAN DIEGO - A sunset wedding ceremony aboard a hot air balloon got off to a bumpy start when a gust of wind forced the pilot to make a crash landing in the yard of a San Diego home.
San Diego Fire-Rescue Department spokesman Maurice Luque says one of the 14 people onboard suffered a minor back injury Monday.
The marrying couple told KGTV (http://bit.ly/WqHlaV ) the gust caught the balloon just after they exchanged their vows, causing it to sway over the Rancho Penasquitos neighborhood.
The landing on a hillside fence behind the house was filmed by a member of the wedding party. Video showed the blue-and-yellow balloon draped over trees near the house afterward.
The couple continued to their reception.

In Theaters 42
This is a feel-good biopic from writer-director Brian Helgeland (L.A. Confidential) about Jackie Robinson, the first African-American player admitted into Major League baseball. The film explores race relations as it pertained to baseball and to life in post World War II America, where men were welcome on the battlefield but not on the baseball diamond.
There would be no Jackie Robinson without Branch Rickey (played by Harrison Ford), GM of the Brooklyn Dodgers and founder of the farm-team system. Rickey didn't see black and white but green, as in the money he'd make by integrating African-American players into his league. After a search Branch signed 26-year-old Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) into the Montreal Royals farm team, for $600 a month, plus a $3500 signing bonus.
Sports is the great equalizer: athleticism levels the playing field, breaking down barriers of race, language and status more quickly than anything else can. But before that can happen the team is denied lodging at hotels, local sheriffs eject Robinson from the field, and there are cabinets full of death threats in Rickey's office.
The film struggles to balance the drama and the on-field action. While 42 won't be included among the great baseball movies of all time it is an interesting look at Robinson's career.
Django Unchained
Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, so you know what you're in for, violence-wise. The film is set a few years before the civil war, as a free slave (Jamie Foxx) engages in a bloody hunt for his wife (Kerry Washington), lost years ago to the slave trade. He crosses paths with famous bounty hunter King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) and the two become invaluable to one another as Django's quest leads him to the plantation of Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), the area's most ruthless plantation owner. It is too long at 2 hours 45 minutes and at times Tarantino's tribute to the spaghetti western feels like the cartoon version, but overall this is a very entertaining film.

Foreclosure relief in state hits $86.2 million
Wisconsin residents who were improperly foreclosed on received $86.2 million in relief by the end of September as a result of a national mortgage settlement with five banks accused of abuses, according to a report released Monday.
In Wisconsin, 1,873 customers with Bank of America, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan Chase and Ally Financial/GMAC have benefited from some kind of consumer relief through the end of September, the companies reported to the national settlement administrator. That's a benefit of more than $46,000 per borrower.
In addition, more than 500 Wisconsin borrowers have been approved for modifications, which are expected to provide more than $32 million in additional relief - an average of nearly $65,000 per borrower, Dana Brueck, a spokeswoman for Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, said in a news release Monday. »Read Full Article(6)

Medical isotope firm gets $22.2 million in funding
Northstar Medical Radioisotopes LLC, the Madison company planning to build a plant in Beloit that would make a commonly used medical isotope, has been awarded $22.2 million of matching funds from a federal agency.

Good luck Mr Higgins. You'll have at least two votes...if you vote for yourself. The two major political parties are having parties at the citizens expense.
1:35 am on Monday, November 5, 2012
On the ballot for the Presidency, Gov. Gary Johnson (Libertarian) and Dr. Jill Stein (Green).
Make a special note to remember to watch the Free and Equal Election Debate between third party candidates, Gov. Gary Johnson and Dr. Jill Stein to be aired tonight on Monday evening, Nov. 5th from 9:00 - 10:30 pm Eastern Time. Perform a worthwhile civic duty, and be certain to listen in on this historic debate so that you can make an informed decision on voting day. Third party candidates who will be on the ballot in most states deserve to be heard.

Unfortunately, until we get Condorcet voting, a two-party system is what we will have.
Plenty of game theory support for 'free and fair' elections degenerating into 1) two party systems, and 2) movement to extreme political positions because that is who is most energized to undertake the effort to vote.
I would like to vote Libertarian or Green, but the reality is that I really don't want one of the two major parties to be POTUS and so I must vote for the other party
Olive U
8:10 am on Monday, November 5, 2012
Mike that just doesn't make sense - I was raised to vote for the person that I think will do the best job - not to vote for someone just because the other guy may win. If you want to vote for the 3rd party candidate you should - it is the one way they may get noticed and taken serious in future elections.
Mike K
3:31 pm on Tuesday, November 6, 2012
My vote is for today's election, not tomorrow's, nor on the election process. It makes perfect sense to vote for the candidate who actually can win who *is* the best for the job - compared to the other candidate who also has a significant chance to win.
The problem is the process, and that is controlled by the two parties we have that collude to 'divide the spoils' between them. Any changes to the process will have to come from the bottom up, not the top down. Since we are voting for the top now, that is the choice I have with my vote - who will be the lesser of the two evils. In that view, voting is really against a particular candidate, not for one. And to make your vote against a candidate meaningful, the only choice is to ensure the election of some other candidate - the other party in a de facto two-party system.
Which is why I support Condorcet voting. But changing from a runoff/winner-take-all system will not happen as a result of anyone's vote today. The place to do that is by changing local elections first. It is the only way third or multiple parties will ever succeed in not being marginalized.

^ yeah pretty much. In the 21st century, "black" Americans are pretty much all a mix of Euro-Afro-Latino-Asian-Native American genetics. And Latino people are the result of Spanish soldiers raping Indian women. So I'm just a nice non-raping white guy but I admit, the mixed-race light-brown skinned women are hotter than the pure-white or pure-black. Maybe evolution is telling us this is just the way its going to be. This is a pretty racist question. It implies that only white people can answer it. Second it implies that mixed race is predominantly a black thing. Why didnt you say mixed race whites are the only pretty whites? To a black person that may be true. NO the more i read it the more inherently racist this is. Anybody that judges by the group is a "pea-wit." Voted : All women no matter what shade are gorgeous anybody who thinks that the shade of ur skin matters are racies bitches and need to wake up and relise then anybody can be beautiful any type of skin cuz nobody should be judges by the color of there skin!!!!! I like the Octoroons. And High-Yallers. Dity!!!! ** karma ** ** karma ** umm i dont agrree..because not all mixed people are pretty..lets say most of them are... Voted : Yes, the ones that are closer to White look better black women obviously aren't as pretty as white women-even the light skinned 1s but the light skinned 1s r a hella lot betta than the dark skinned 1s. the ugliest white woman u could find would still be better lookin than the best lookin black girl there is! and thats that Voted : No, All Black women can be attractive All black women can be attractive, heck anyone can be attractive
by socal_sweetie
This why we have so many problems. Alot of people make it seem that mixed-raced girls are so much more desirable. Then they wonder why black women are so angry. Mixed-raced women are the only pretty and classy ones. It is about time we embrace all of us. black women come in many shapes and size and color how many shades do white or other come in Voted : Full lips, brown skin, round butts, high cheek bones, thick hair are the best features on a women Black women have the best assest face and body wise they are the most beautiful of all races. Voted : Full lips, brown skin, round butts, high cheek bones, thick hair are the best features on a women You got it backward. It is not the whiteness in them. It is the blackness. When will you people lern. All women are beautifully in their own unique ways. As far as Black vs. Mixed raced. There was something honoring black female musicians big shock that over half on the list were Mixed raced. Its time society opened up their eyes and realized that Mixed raced does not = Black or any other race. Mixed = Mixed Voted : All women no matter what shade are gorgeous all women what ever shape or size are all beautiful and this is coming from a 16yr old ... it shouldnt matter what you call beautiful because the definition of beauty:is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder so with that statement made everyone is entitled to their own opinion i am a mixed girl im dominican puerto rican cuban colombian and african american I am a mixed raced woman, and I think we all know the color has nothing to do with beauty. Beauty comes in all colors, and personality has a lot to do with it. Who wants to be objectified - "The Beautiful, Exotic, Strange Mulatto" In addition, because I was a bi-racial single parent, I was harassed by many jealous women. My life was not made better by being bi-racial. If white women was so attractive then why do they need so much plastic surgery? This entire topic is so ignorant and insulting to fully Black women (both parents who are Black) shame on you. okay i am mixed. I am Black Latino and White with green eyes...I think that there are some pretty mixed girls and some ugly ones no matter what race you are. ~Whitley whit people are definitely not all that atrractive either with you'll big ass heads biracial black women are either very beautiful or very ugly - i think dark dark black women from africa are very beautiful
by dirtybirdy
Mixed Girls Look More Exotic. Look at Adriana Lima for example, she's part black as is rosario dawson. black women are pretty as hell! the best looking woman on earth. mix kids aint got shit on a black woman get over. white people are mess up looking. to the person who said the ugly white woman still look better then a black woman yeah right. white women dont stand a chace. eve was a black woman this is why we are hated. light skin comes from back in africa black eve blacks where first on the earth. and beyonce is not mix she a damn black woman. anybody thats light skin really pretty a damn shame whites tryin take them. white women is ugly as hell. Voted : All women no matter what shade are gorgeous Women are women. Shut up and enjoy the view. These are racist options...you should be reoprted! I know a black woman in mich.very dark and very pretty she has a biracial daughter that will never look as good Voted : No, All Black women can be attractive yh so dnt be rude to black girls Voted : All women no matter what shade are gorgeous Actually Liya, Tyra and Jada share the spotlight with Halle, Vanessa and Beyonce on my list of most beautiful black women and most beutiful women in general. I havent heard of any of the other people. But anyone with a diverse gene pool of any race gernally looks gorgeous. Alot of African women have full defined lips, symetry, and generally caracutred features in there gene pool and theres no reason that these qualities cant mecome desirable. I like straight hair though but curly not flat hair is nice too but not as manageble. This is a most retarded question. I don't know what your definition of "pure" black is, but I would be considered so as a cocoa-complexioned black woman with brown eyes and kinky hair. Trouble is, I have multi-racial grandparents (black, white, amerindian) on both sides of my family just like Vanessa Williams, who has the same coloring as my younger sister. So don't think just because someone black is dark or "pure" that they do not have a multi-ethnic background. In light of this, your question is ridiculous. All black woman can be beautiful irrespective of hue. Lauren Hill and Gabby Union are two gorgeous dark-skinned women, for instance. Conversly just because a black woman is light does not make her pretty. Rain Pryor comes to mind. Ick! Voted : No, All Black women can be attractive Since u want to get down to the nitty griddy with the multiracial grandfather and black creole. Pretty much all blacks are multiracial and have many different races running through their blood due to slavery and people mixing races today. So Tyra Banks Iman and Jada have other races in them as well and being less black doesn't make one more pretty! Voted : No, All Black women can be attractive "Everybody's beautiful In their own way-ee-ay-ay" La la laa. Voted : No, All Black women can be attractive Hell no! I feel that because someone is white and black dont mean they look better. I have seen some ugly mix chicks. Being mixed dont mean better this question is stupid as hell I suspect Tyra & Jada are part-Caucasian--their eyes are the same colour as mine (green/hazel) and I'm white... Some men--like me--like 'black' features (wavy hair, big lips, &c.), even on WHITE women (e.g., Scarlett Johansen, Estella Warren). Some men don't. North African 'black' women (like Iman) look more caucasian, while some scandinavian/slavic women have bigger lips and broader noses. It's largely a matter of personal preference. BTW, I'm surprised nobody mentioned Kimberley Elise. Voted : No, All Black women can be attractive Wow.I LOVE Black women. Yes there are beautiful women of ALL ethnicities,but I PREFER my Black Queens. Because they have a RAINBOW. Light...dark and in between. Just my 2 cents.

Ha ha some of these comments are ridiculously ignorant and racist. I am more than sure that all the comments that left me shaking my head are from American raised people, White black etc. American is Europeanize. And it has been that way since the start of America. Africans in America were taught to hate themselves, but Dark milk chocolate skin, high cheek bones full lips, and curves in all the right places. Are gorgeous features of a African women and often African American women who are of African descent. Yes I know you are probably guessing am I a dark skin African American. And you are correct. I hear often that I am a pretty dark skin girl. Put I dont know what that means, because when I look in the mirror I just see pretty girl. My dark flesh is a sign of my heritage that Im more then proud of. The thing thats wrong with Americans is that they cant step out of Americas perception of beauty. There are so many beautiful features from women of all ethnicities and races. Asian, European, Spanish etc. The list goes on and on are mixed women the only pretty black women? lol of course not. But I guess its just your own personal perception of beauty. |

Reality Check: CounterfeitingThere's a classic Pogo cartoon in which the main character concludes, "We have met the enemy and he is us." This pretty much sums up the industry efforts to battle the influx of counterfeit components into the electronics supply chain. "Companies attempting to manage the growing challenge of counterfeit electronic components face a range of government- and industry-related pitfalls that make it virtually impossible to eliminate all risk associated with the plague of fake parts," IHS iSuppli said in a press release on the ERAI Executive Conference. Anti-counterfeiting measures were one of the topics covered at last week's conference, which IHS co-hosted. The very people that regulations are designed to protect -- consumers -- are unwittingly a large part of the problem, Bob Braasch, senior director of supply chain for IHS, said at the conference. People dont hold onto their old electronic devices, Braasch told the event attendees. A three-year-old cellphone is ancient, so people are constantly upgrading to the latest device. As the world economy improves and as technology continues to develop, people increasingly will be looking for the latest technology. All of this electronics consumerism translates into e-waste. As fake parts have proliferated, governments have tried to stem the tide by developing more stringent regulations. One of them is the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which was signed into law on Dec. 31. The law is meant to protect the defense industry from fake electronic goods. However, the language of the law apparently makes it difficult to comply with its requirements. Among other things, the NDAA mandates that DoD contractors and subcontractors obtain parts from the original manufacturers of the parts or their authorized dealers, or from trusted suppliers who obtain such parts exclusively from the original manufacturers of the parts or their authorized dealers. However, Kirsten M. Koepsel, director of legal affairs and tax at the Aerospace Industries Association (AIA), said at the conference that the definition of trusted supplier is unclear. The same goes for suspect counterfeit part. However, according to the IHS release: Despite such ambiguities, the burden appears to fall on DoD contractors and subcontractors to report any cases of suspect counterfeit parts to the Government Industry Data Exchange Program (GIDEP). The experts concluded that, regardless of what steps companies take, it is virtually impossible to eliminate risk. The industry cannot afford to do nothing. Too many electronics parts go into mission-critical applications such as defense and aerospace equipment. But I'm not sure that regulating the purchasing of parts is the correct approach. Once devices are in the supply chain, they are difficult to track and detect. A better step would be to regulate the collection and disposal of substandard components (from factories) and electronics equipment (from consumers). This would cut off a major source for counterfeiters. It's a lot easier to avoid counterfeits if they don't exist in the first place. |

Product Backstory
Fifty years have passed, and all the world's heroes have fallen away. Supervillains have overtaken what was once America - divided the land into territories and harshly repress any whisper of the old ways. Logan remains with his wife and children in Hulkland, formerly California. The disillusioned aged hero refuses to fight back against the beatings and extortion of Bruce Banner's brutal descendants. Hawkeye approaches Logan about a job - a chance to settle his debt with the Banners, and a desperate father accepts.The two set out on a journey to deliver a mysterious package across the country, their route leading straight through neo-America. Among the many threats of the new countryside, dinosaurs were imported from The Savage Land and now roam free. In the former mid-west, they drive past a herd of dinos and realize that they are being followed by a Venom symbiote controlled Tyrannosaurus Rex. As they attempt to shoot at the Vemonsaurus, Emma Frost sees their distress on a security monitor and sends Black Bolt to fight back the beast, allowing Logan and Hawkeye to continue their journey to New Babylon.

How does China own the world record for largest line dance?!!!
Im not a big line dancing person, but this stagecoach got my wife and I thinking that Stagecoach could probably set a world record if we got the word out to have everyone do a line dance (like the electric slide or something) to the right song on a Saturday evening main stage set. So what do you think? Should we start a grass roots movement and be part of history, or just let other countries own the record on something we created here in America?

"Public Citizen": Attorneys who stand up and make a difference for consumers
Monday, May 20th, 2013When I began as a lawyer many years ago, the American Civil Justice System provided an even playing field where justice could be had regardless of one's wealth or station in life. That is what attracted me to the legal profession. Sadly, access to our courts has been restricted and the legal remedies available to consumers have eroded steadily over the years.
The public-interest community and its supporters will never have the financial resources to match the unrestricted wealth available to corporate interests. What the public-interest community does have though is human capital. An organization called "Public Citizen" is uniquely able to shine a light on abuses of corporate power in a way that informs, empowers, and mobilizes the voting public. When citizens realize that their own rights are a stake, they take action. I cannot tell you how many times the most ardent hardline defense attorney has called me to say: "My mother just lost her life savings in an investment scam; can you help her?" or "My father just died as a result of an accident or medical malpractice; can you help us?"
The sad fact is this: because of abusive and unconstitutional arbitration clauses that corporations seek to use as a shield against accountability or the anti-consumer medical malpractice act it may be impossible to provide justice. Folks need to realize that their own liberties and rights hang in the balance; the organization known as "Public Citizen" can make them aware of this reality.
Here is the opening description on the About Us page of the Public Citizen website, http://www.citizen.org/Page.aspx?pid=2306, where it states "Public Citizen serves as the people's voice in the nation's capital. Since our founding in 1971, we have delved into an array of areas, but our work on each issue shares an overarching goal: To ensure that all citizens are represented in the halls of power."
To learn more about this public-interest organization, go to http://www.citizen.org. Make special note of the fact that this organization is self-funded through "foundation grants, publication sales and support from its 100,000 current members." Public Citizen does NOT accept any money from the government or corporate interests.

User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow
After having my son 19 months ago I developed horrible hip pain. Now that I'm 11 weeks pregnant with baby #2 I've noticed that my hip pain is even worse. Being forced to sleep only on your sides doesn't help much. By 10 weeks I was begging my husband to let me buy a maternity pillow to help support my back and legs. I'm right at six feet tall so I wanted a pillow that would be long enough to support my whole body. This pillow is great! I read about other pillows having a really tight inner-seam that would dig into your neck/shoulders when sleeping, but this pillow doesn't have that. I just love sleeping with it. It really supports my head, hips, legs and back just the way I need it to. It is a large pillow however. I have a king-sized bed and it takes up just under half, but my husband hasn't mentioned that he's bothered by it (yet). Overall I would recommend this pillow to anyone who's looking for some pregnancy pain relief. Only complaint is that it is a little flat where my head goes, but I've always been a person that wants two thicker pillows under my head anyway. I just put one of my smaller pillows underneath and it works great!
User Review for Today's Mom® COOLMAX Pregnancy Pillow
My baby mama loves it! Like I knew she would! All she needed was a good pillow to support her sleep process! This pillow is a blessing people! Must have for your baby mama! :-)
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
I am 20 weeks and started having trouble sleeping about 3 weeks ago. This pillow is a dream! It provides support in all the right places!
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
Love this pillow! Head part had to be broken in a little. I actually used it backwards for a month until the head pillow was broken in. It really helps me to get a good night's sleep.
User Review for Today's Mom® Cozy Cuddler Pregnancy Pillow
Love the pillow! First pregnancy and at 30 weeks started not sleeping well because I am a stomach sleeper. The pillow supports my back and is wonderful under my belly.
Pregnancy Pillow
Good maternity pillows are hard to find. It's all about mom's comfort when it comes to a pregnancy pillow and BabyAge has the best pillows on the market.
Our Today's Mom Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow is like sleeping on a cloud! BabyAge.com has created the Today's Mom product line by listening to the biggest concerns of...well, moms of course! One of the biggest pregnancy pillow problems has been hard edges digging into mom's shoulder. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow has a curve shaped, shoulder support design, that contours to the shoulder and provides a soft sleep. Another problem examined by Today's Mom is lumbar support. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow correctly supports mommy's weight while she sleeps. An important upgrade mother's demanded was belly support. This maternity body pillow features a belly support allowing the tummy to rest and support the baby comfortable. Perhaps the best feature is the large, square head rest area. Other pillows feature a flimsy, oddly shaped area for the head. The Cozy Comfort Pregnancy Pillow's head support resembles a standard pillow to provide comfort. This is one of the only pregnancy pillows designed with an easy to remove zipper-cover. Now, the pillow and case can be separated for washing. Both are machine washable, made of a 50/50 combination of polyester and cotton, and a 200 Thread count percale. This revolutionary pillow is patent pending.

Lumia 920 on AT&T price drop to $49.99
From this Friday AT&T will be offering the Lumia 920 at any of its company owned retail stores for $49.99. Of course you'll need to sign a contract for two years with voice and data, but at least the carrier will be matching both Amazon and Walmart.
This Friday will see plenty of 'crazy deals' but this still some compelling pricing from AT&T who are already selling the device for $99.99. The deal is available from this Friday 23rd to the 25th for those of you who are keen to grab one.
The Lumia 920 is a premium quality phone with a set of features and specifications that puts it well above some other flagship devices. AT&T is already offering the device at a seriously good price of $99.99 on a contract basis so when they offer up the unit for $49.99 will folks be able to resist?
Here in the UK pricing of handsets has been something of a token consideration almost since the explosion in retail mobile phones kicked off. In the US devices have been kept at rates which in some ways help consumers differentiate the higher quality nature of the handsets. Well, that and the carriers rake in even more money of course.
A quick look at the deal shows that the HTC One X is going for $199.99 as a black Friday deal, but will the new Lumia 920 pricing make it look slightly on the cheap side? Sometimes cheap can just look 'cheap' when people are buying into something. One only need look at the pricing for luxury goods to see why price is key to perception but this is a slightly differnent market.
This is of course a black Friday deal and if you have been waiting for the best possible moment to pick up this superb handset we'd urge you not to miss out.

It bothers me how much Nokia are willing to lose in the USA to get a great marketshare (not a bad idea tbh, since it's a good phone). But the offside of that is that us International folks get screwed paying at least $700 for the Lumia 920. If not more in some places.
A person might say, yea cool phone but the Galaxy S3 is $600 when the Lumia 920 is $100 or more. I wonder how that will play out.
inteller says:
at this point you are better off trying to get one from Rogers which is unlocked.
jubbing says:
Does that have the Roger Branding on it? If so NO LUMIA 920 for me
unstoppablekem says:
killer rin says:
Dont, the Rogers one is locked now...
...Also its a bitch to get unlocked at a cost of $90 and 3 hours of your time.
inteller says:
oh that's too bad. I bet the unlocked ones will go for major moola now.
ladydias says:
What exactly is Nokia losing in the US? Carriers here buy the phone outright from companies and make their money back by offering the phone at a much cheaper price...providing you sign a two year contract that will almost certainly have you paying more for the phone in the end. There are literally millions of people here who have been trained to lock themselves into a contract to get the next best thing because it's cheap NOW. That said, it also means that a successful smartphone will reach far more people in a short period of time and guarantees more sales down the road if they like it because of branding.
jubbing says:
Well to allow AT&T to sell the Lumia 920 for $450 or whatever it is unlocked, or $50 on a contract, they have to lower the price of their devices. AT&T won't like taking a hit to their profits to sell a device, it's not how business works. So if AT&T sell it for $450, they'll be buying it for less. Assuming the device costs $350 to make (just using a figure), Nokia would want to sell it for at least 400 to make profit and allow AT&T to buy it cheaper. Or I could be wrong and they could be breaking even to sell it to AT&T for that price.
Where as overseas they sell it for $700 off contract.
peterfares says:
Phones cost around $200 to manufacture. They're not losing money, they're just not raping everyone in the U.S. like everyone does everywhere.
kcovert says:
Not really sure about AT&T actually getting the phone for less than what they sell it for. There is some form of subsidy going on for the exclusive agreement.
tallgeese says:
Yeah, but we pay for it in the long run. AT&T changes an additional$40/month for the 4G Lumias.
tallgeese says:
That's charges...
jubbing says:
We pay like $80/month in Australia. Don't see how that's different? (That's on a 2 year contract, without the outright price)
Natebird says:
No they don't I have 13 lines we don't get charge 40 dollars more for having Lumia 920 LOL
scdkad says:
What's $40 "extra"? There are no extra charges for having a Lumia! Even with LTE data the cost is the same..
ryuh3d says:
How do you know Nokia is losing money? AT&T and Microsoft could be the reason the 920 is so cheap on AT&T. This could be part of Microsoft's WP8 marketing budget.
In addition -- AT&T wants to be more like Verizon. Right now they are AT&T and iPhone really -- while Verizon is Droid and iPhone. AT&T wants to be Something and iPhone and not just be an iPhone shop.
pizzalovinhulk says:
AT&T has said that there pushing wp8 so much cuz they want people to move from android and apple cuz apple is to costly for at&t and don't make much money back and android is messy
jayruguitar says:
Hmmmm....bought my NL920 on the 9th in-store for $99. The 23rd is the final day for exchange for a lot of us. I wonder if they will do any sort of price matching for us?
NXH says:
I just bought mine this past Saturday. I asked the guy if AT&T does black Friday deals and he they never do!! By the way, do we know if it includes the wireless charger?
Curtieson says:
That is actually a good point...they didn't have the Charger in stock (obvously, none do) when I bought a Red one so they charged me $50 for the phone and said I'll get charged the other $50 when they ship the phone.
In THAT case, I do not think I will be able to get them to price match it...but for my Yellow one which I ordered online, they charged me the full $100 for the phone and said to ship the charger later...that one I see no reason I can't get it price matched.
Plus, I ordered the 7th, but didn't ship till the 14th, recieved the 16th. I'd said I should get until the 30th.
AstrocuD says:
I wonder the same thing. I wonder if I can call the customer service and threaten to return it if they don't honor the price. It seems pointless to go to the store to return an item that I'm only going to get back 2 mins later.
diplomat696 says:
Good question would like to know answer.
Jf.Vigor says:
I want the HTC 8X to go down by $50 for black friday so my gf can finally hop on the WP train. It being at $100 is slightly out of reach. $50 and she will get rid of her iphone for one. She loves what my 920 can do and that california blue in person is soooo her...
mamilo1 says:
Good deal for those that were waiting. I already bought mine at launch. The curse of the early adopter. Damn you curse!
j i AmnesiAc says:
But will they have any in stock to sell.....
Kebero says:
I wonder if those of us who purchased on launch day can get price adjustments.
Dodge99X says:
Can we still get a free chraging mat?? Or is it one of those "cannot be combined with any other offers" kinda thing?
phatboy66 says:
Really exciting news!
cbixby says:
So since I paid $100 for my Lumia less than 15 days ago does that mean that I can go into AT&T and get a $50 refund to price match what they are going to sell it for during Black Friday? If not, then looks like I will be returning my Lumia (still under my 15 days) and getting a new one and putting $50 in my pocket. ;o)
Munkeyphyst says:
After you pau the $35 restocking fee.
chriscookz says:
I may go in Friday and try to get a price adjustment. Technically you would think I'd be able to, since it's still within the 14 day exchange period. I could really return it and then buy it again, but it would be much less messy if they'd just credit me the $50. And if they won't, I'll be happy I paid the $99 and bought it when the stores actually had phones in stock. I highly doubt I would be able to go in on Friday and pick up a red one like I did on launch day.
DarkMatterNic says:
Wireless charger included?
lubbalots says:
Ok, its out of stock. How are they selling this?
tcman88 says:
You'll have to pay a $36 restocking fee if you return the phone. Plus the $49.99 price will not include the charging plate? I honestly cant ever see myself using a USB to charge my phone
wamsille says:
I would hope that AT&T gives me a price correction on the Lumia 920. I don't care so much about the wireless charger promotion considering I signed the two-year commitment for the phone by itself. The charger was just gravy.
I'll be calling AT&T this morning to see what they offer.
Montpbm says:
I am starting to hate that I left AT&T!!!! T-Mobile WP8 I don't want any part of unless they get the Samsung Ativ S....Regrets! Smh! I would buy that phone asap if I could..
jaysean07 says:
Hey guys, I just had a first issue with my Nokia Lumia 920,that's scared the shit outta me.
My phone screen goes black after hitting power button ,and didn't turn back to original screen.
I pressed power so meantimes to turn it back but it still remain black.
Does anybody had a issue like this with their phone?
Let me know
unstoppablekem says:
Out of battery?
jahirsino1 says:
Just press the down volume button and the power button at the same time for 10-20 seconds. That should fix it
unstoppablekem says:
Wireless charging plate?
mpelti says:
So, If I ordered my lumia last wednesday, and it's due to arrive today, can I get a refund?
jaysean07 says:
Its a software issue ,with a power button
khazaduel says:
yay its cheaper on friday.. too bad THERE ARNT ANY LEFT IN 100 MILES OF MY HOUSE!
jaysean07 says:
Well I fix this issue ,I chat online with att windows phone technician,he reset my phone by holding both power and volume button for 10 second ,and its start my phone.
Well he said this issue is not official yet, once it get official there must be update for it.
ebradley says:
Price might make alternative colors more appealing for me.
asuffred says:
If you peurchased a phone and got the wireless cahrger for free. Look at the bill you got the pone for 49.99 and they charged you 50.00 for the charger so you did get the phone for 49.99
AngeloUCF says:
Great, I bought one last night for 99. They are letting me use a red one till they get a black one in stock. Hopefully they don't get it till friday, maybe they'll pricematch.
jes1888 says:
The deal include the wireless charger????
absolutshame says:
Received my 920 via USPS on the 10th...bit where the f#ck is my charger!
ihavewp8 says:
Hahaha I am glad I waited. Now I will get it or maybe wait until black friday probably drop more to one cent. Wonder how other felt paying for higher price :-D
zaragoza says:
Amazon is not selling Nokia 920 at $49.99 anymore. Its website shows Nokia 920 at $69.99.
ejlee072006 says:
Wow...wp8/wp8.5 sexy..waiting for the next nokia 920
karl11 says:
If you want to be the first to have a phone, you have to pay a little more.
gearhead05 says:
Well this should be interesting. I ordered my Lumia 920 on 11/10/12 and I still haven't received it nor have I even received an update to my ordr status page. Now they are going to be dropping the price of the phone by another $50...
inside man 55 says:
I ordered my cyan Lumia 920 last Wed., it is arriving today. I am in Dallas and the phone shipped out of Memphis. I also know if I had ordered last Friday the delay jumps to 7-14 business days. Hope you get yours soon.
goeman says:
Read the fine print. Offer available only in AZ,AK,CA,CO,HI,ID,MT,NV,NM,OR,UT,WA,WY
Kormiko says:
And only in AT&T stores... Does that mean I can't get a Cyan Lumia 920 if I order on the phone? I live in CA and I know it's not in stock right now, but I hope I can still get an order in for the $49.99 price.
mutant 9 says:
That is brutal. I wonder if the stores in IL are doing anything? i just called and they had no detail...
weaksauce27 says:
$50?! I still didn't get mine when i preordered from at&t 2 weeks ago!
asac12 says:
My upgrade date is June 2013, but called ATT anyways and was able to get the $49.99 upgrade. I basically was charged $99.99 up front and got a $50 credit on my Dec bill. They screwed up the color on the order confirmation, so I called back and got another credit for the remaining Dec balance! The only annoying thing is that I have to go to my local ATT store and exchange the white with a black one.
baseballbert says:
So a phone no one can buy is being sold at a discount? $49 is a steal, but there's the whole actually being able to walk out of the store with one part of it that I'm not getting here. How can they discount a phone that is impossible to get?
If they have a miraculous influx of inventory for Friday, then this should work.
SteggyDad says:
Tried email and online chat, no luck. Maybe try online chat again later as well as calling.
Wac954 says:
No luck here. I tried 20 minutes on online chat. :(
gemini5150 says:
wow what a nightmare. well after many calls they gave me the credit. its only for the western states that get the discount i guess. but if you call enough they well credit you so you stop harassing them. haha. its a one time curtsey credit too.
J P1 says:
This is categorially false. AT&T is not offering this phone for $50 online or at it's retail locations.

News & Analysis
Memristors mimic human brain
R Colin Johnson
Memristors were conceived by electrical engineer Leon Chua in his seminal 1971 paper "Memristor--the Missing Circuit Element" (IEEE Transactions on Circuit Theory). His peer-reviewed claim startled electrical engineers by detailing how there was a "missing link" in circuit theory.
By mathematical necessity, according to Chua, a fourth passive electronics component--after resistors, capacitors and inductors--must exist. His argument was reminiscent of the inventor of the periodic table, Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev, who claimed that by mathematical necessity there were missing elements in the periodic table that must exist. Both were right. Mendeleev's missing elements were eventually discovered, and in 2006 Hewlett Packard Senior Fellow Stan Williams likewise discovered Chua's missing-memristor in a common semiconductor material.
Chua called his fourth passive circuit component a memristor, because it "remembered" the amount of current that had recently been flowing through it by changing its internal resistance--making it a memory-resistor. HP's formulation was titanium-dioxide, but since them many other semiconductor manufacturers have come forward to disclose that they had also been working on memristive materials in their efforts to build a universal memory type--called a resistive random access memory (ReRAM).
As a result, approximately 40 years after memristors were postulated by Chua, these materials are finally achieving widespread commercialization as universal memory chips that are nonvolatile, denser than flash, and yet faster than DRAM. A remarkable spectrum of semiconductor houses are promising memristive microchips, some as early as 2013, including Adesto Technologies, Elpida, Fujitsu, Global Foundries, Hewlett Packard, Hynix, IBM, Macronix, Nanya, NEC, Panasonic, Rambus, SanDisk, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, ST Microelectronics, Winbond, 4DS, and several research labs like IMEC collaborating with foundry partners like TSMC.
What you may not be aware of, however, is that the next 40 years are likely to be even more significant for memristors, as the basis of a new era of cognitive computers based on the architecture of the human brain. Spear-headed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) program called Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive Plastic Scalable Electronics (SyNAPSE) research labs are pioneering a new era of cognitive computers that are light years beyond artificial intelligence (AI). Participants included IBM, Hewlett Packard, and HRL Labs in cooperation with Boston University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Stanford University, University of California at Merced, and the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
Chua anticipated the application of memristors to artificial neural networks as far back as 1976 in his Proceedings of the IEEE paper Memristive Devices and Systems where he noted that the neuroscience standard model for neurons--the Hodgkin–Huxley model--was mathematically identical to a memristor.
Next: HRL Labs breakthru
Memristor is just a component, like resistor, inductor or capacitor...saying it mimics the brain stretches reality too much...overall an exciting research component but we have not seen any commercial application from HP yet, still waiting for the memristor revolution!
I think the brain tie in is that instead of black and white, you have shades of grey... matter...
A Sceptic
The R & D smoking around the "memristor" stuff seems to be continuing in the New Year. That's really funny, because - up to now - no one has been able to show that Chua's hypothetical concept of nonvolatile memristor/memristive systems can be realized, i.e., to propose a reasonable physical model that would satisfy the mathematical state equations of such a system.
Memristors have been conceived much Earlier than 1971, where only the name has been changed from "Memistor" bei adding an "r" behind "Mem". Stanford-Professor Bernie Widrow has founded the "Memistor Corporation" already in the early sixties. However, the implementation technology of this early memistor could not follow Moore's law.
The idea of a memory that is non-volatile, as fast as DRAM (I doubt the claim it is faster, the address logic will dominate that) and smaller is great. It is nice to hear that is coming. Of course, they said the same thing for FRAM.
However, people keep hyping this idea that we can mimic the human brain. Let's be clear about this:
- We don't know how the brain works. We know how one component, the neuron works. We don't have more than a tiny clue as to how that combines to make the neural part of a brain. The impact of the thousands of neurotransmitters and non-neural cells from a processing point of view is unknown. How can we mimic something we don't understand?
- We can't control an artificial brain, any more than we can control a human brain. How would you like to deal with a psychopath that is 10 times smarter than you, and thinks 1000 times faster? Until we understand this we'd better keep our neural network experiments very small scale.
A Sceptic
It seems now that the fourth fundamental circuit element - referred to as the "memristor" - cannot exist in physical reality. In principle, no realistic physical model can be proposed for a solid state memory device which would operate in accordance with Chua's mathematical concept of genuine non-volatile memristors/memristive systems. When analyzed under physical aspects, the hypothetical mathematical state equations defining non-volatile memristors are by themselves in severe conflict with fundamentals of physics as discussed in "Fundamental Issues and Problems in the Realization of Memristors" by P. Meuffels and R. Soni (http://arxiv.org/abs/1207.7319) and "On the physical properties of memristive, memcapacitive, and meminductive systems" by M. Di Ventra and Y. V. Pershin (http://arxiv.org/abs/1302.7063).
