LOS ANGELES - Ping pong is having a moment, thanks in no small part to Susan Sarandon.
The Oscar-winning actress and self-described "ping pong propagandist" envisions a nation of table-tennis players. To that end, she's the famous name behind SPiN, a series of "ping pong social clubs" that opened its latest location in Los Angeles recently. There are also clubs in New York, Toronto and Milwaukee.
The newest SPiN club, a partnership between Sarandon and famed hotelier Andre Balazs, takes over the entire second floor of Balazs' trendy Standard Hotel in downtown L.A., boasting a custom-designed red table as its centerpiece. Professional instructors are available to teach the basics to those who didn't grow up with a table in their basements and to help amateurs perfect their skills.
Sarandon, 66, has been giving ping pong tables to friends and to inner-city schools since she helped open the New York club in 2009, and she talked with The Associated Press about her ping pong mission.
AP: What led you to become such a ping pong enthusiast?
Sarandon: I am more a propagandist than a player. I love the game because it cuts across gender and age and body type, and you can play it until you die, unlike other sports that you have to abandon at a certain point. It's a great family game because little girls can beat their fathers. It's a great dating tool because, you know, rather than just sit and drink and be awkward, you can face each other and have music playing, so it's a pretty easy sell. ... The definition of the club is a community of people who get together to socialize, philosophize and exercise around this little ball. So that's what we were trying to tap into.
AP: How often do you play?
Sarandon: There was a time when I wasn't working as much. I had a foot injury but I could still stand behind the table and play, and then I was there a lot. But lately I haven't been playing that much at all, because I have been all over the place. And that's what's great about the social network - once we get clubs up everywhere, if you find yourself in another city, you can just go on the social network and find people to play. So it's a social network that actually has a brick-and-mortar component to it.
AP: How different are the clubs city to city?
Sarandon: We have certain elements that make up what we're trying to do, certain design components, but really, it's all different depending on what kind of drinks are served more often in Milwaukee as opposed to New York, or how much a table would be in those cities. We hope that people have a space that's very individual and have elements that are very special, and then you work with them to embrace those elements. The club in Dubai is going to be unlike anything we've done before. ... They're going for the most expensive table in the world, which is going to be gold plated.
AP: Are you doing a ping pong movie?
Sarandon: Isn't that hilarious? Yeah, the ping pong movie is a very indie project but it was really fun to do. It's basically, I guess you could say it's "The Karate Kid" with ping pong, and I'm Mr. Miyagi.

SANTA CLARA — Packers linebacker Clay Matthews drew a $15,000 fine for Sunday's out-of-bounds hit on 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, the league announced Friday.
Trumping Matthews' fine were the combined amount docked to two 49ers: Ahmad Brooks' $12,750 for a roughing-the-passer penalty and Anquan Boldin's $7,875 for a late hit on Jarrett Bush.
Brooks' penalty occurred 1:24 before halftime and it enhanced a game-tying touchdown drive by the Packers. Boldin wasn't penalized during the game for his third-quarter hit on Bush.
Matthews' second-quarter tackle of Kaepernick sparked a sideline scrum, and apparently no fines came from that melee.
Television replays indicated that Matthews struck 49ers left tackle Joe Staley twice in the head during the post-tackle melee. Those swings by Matthews were described as one punch and one slap by 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, who on Monday mocked Matthews' slap and suggested that he "come with some knuckles" next time for his "tough guy" image.
Matthews' verbal counterpunch Thursday: "I'm an awesome player. I'm not a dirty player."
The 49ers, who prevailed 34-28 in that season opener, visit the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night in a highly anticipated NFC West matchup.

The United States is suspending a tariff hike on $250 billion in Chinese imports that was set to take effect Tuesday, and China agreed to buy $40 billion to $50 billion in U.S. farm products as the world's two biggest economies reached a cease-fire in their 15-month trade war.
The two countries are leaving the thornier issues — including U.S. allegations that China forces foreign countries to hand over trade secrets in return for access to the Chinese market — until later negotiations.
The tariffs on $250 billion in Chinese imports were set to rise from 25% to 30%.

Salon by Debbie Spas' New Talent Program
Salon by Debbie Spas has created the New Talent Program to give emerging, licensed hair stylists the opportunity to develop and polish the skills that will take them to the next level at elite salons.
The New Talent Program is designed to identify individuals in the spa/salon industry who are poised for advanced training. The program pairs an up-and-coming, licensed stylist with a mentor in one of Salon by Debbie Spas' three locations–Spa in The Valley, Spa on The Avenue, or Spa on The Boulevard—to gain the knowledge and experience to advance. Mentors are Platinum Level hair designers who are either certified educators or master-level stylists. Platinum Level hair designers are the leaders in their industry; each has mastered his or her trade and has at least 10 years of experience. Currently there are 32 Platinum Level hair designers in Salon by Debbie Spas.
New Talent stylists work with their mentor for an average of 12 months to learn precision hair cutting and color techniques on all hair types to accommodate every guest. They learn through technical theory, hands-on classes, and repetition. New Talent stylists already have their license, but this program provides them with the kind of advanced training required to work with clients at Salon by Debbie Spas.
When New Talent stylists complete their training, they spend one month in a post-graduate program, working with existing guests they have acquired and welcoming new guests to build their book. During this fellowship period, their mentor continues to review their work, and their guests benefit by enjoying a 50% discount on their hair services.
The very first New Talent graduate, Emily Reeves, is now working on her own clients at Spa on The Boulevard, the Salon by Debbie Spa located in Abingdon, Md. Since August 1, Emily has been cutting, coloring, and styling clients' hair, charging half the usual cost. According to Emily, "The most valuable lesson I gained through this program would be confidence. This is a key ingredient to being a successful stylist. My mentor, Holly Balabanick, gave me every tool possible to excel in my career."
Together they worked side by side for 10 months and Holly has watched Emily flourish on many levels. Her clients are thrilled with Emily's work, enjoying her creativity and skill, on top of the discounted price. Emily has a full book, and is looking forward to continued growth in the field.
The New Talent Program is offered twice a year to a limited number of qualified applicants at all three Salon by Debbie Spas locations. To apply, please complete an Application for Employment and attach a resume for review. Upon evaluation, mentors will schedule seasonal interviews based on the next availability in this exclusive program.

Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich.A family documentary with a hard rock feel, screening at BIFF this weekend, could help raise the profile of a little-known genetic condition called Fragile X syndrome.
Mission to Lars follows English siblings Kate and Will Spicer, as they try to fulfil their brother Tom's dreams of meeting his hero, Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich.
Tom suffers from Fragile X syndrome, which causes intellectual disability, behavioral and learning challenges and various physical characteristics.
Fragile X is caused by a single gene disorder, carried by about one in 260 women and one in 800 men. It affects about one in 3600 males and one in 4000-6000 females. There is no cure.
For journalist Kate Spicer, making the film was a way of portraying Tom as a man, not a label.
"If I'm honest, we made the journey into a film because if we hadn't, we could not have afforded the time to do it justice. We never wanted it to be about shuffling Tom along for what they call a 'grip and grin'," she says from her London home.
But, as the film documents, convincing Tom to go on the grand adventure in the first place, then chasing Metallica across Nevada and California in a campervan, was not an easy ride.
"I felt completely torn between caring for Tom and trying to be a solid, stable presence for him and driving the action in the film forward and making things happen," says Spicer.
The charm of the film lies in that journey – although the destination ends up being pretty great too.
The screening of Mission to Lars has been welcomed by the Fragile X Association of Australia, which supports families here living with condition.
"Every week in Australia one child is born who is fully affected by Fragile X and 20 children are born who are carriers," says FXAA project officer Joan MacDonald.
"This film is a fabulous awareness vehicle for Fragile X. Awareness is so important because Fragile X is a genetic condition. People might have three children before they even realise that they have it. Sufferers can also be misdiagnosed with Autism, Aspergers or other conditions."
Spicer says she's grateful for the support the FXAA has thrown behind the film, saying they have a mutual interest in getting it distributed.
"For them it's raising awareness of the single biggest cause of inherited learning disability and for us it's all about taking our brother and Lars' story to as many people as possible."
With the theme of Mission to Lars all about the ties that bind us as families, it's interesting to learn that the tensions making it caused between Spicer and her filmmaker brother Will have not been fully resolved.
On the flipside, it has brought Spicer closer to Tom.
"It moves me almost to tears how much the trip has changed him and how the world sees him and how we relate to each other. It's brilliant."
Mission to Lars screens as part of the Brisbane International Film Festival this Saturday 17 November at 2.30pm at Palace Petrie Barracks 5. More information at www.biff杭州夜网m.au
If you see Mission to Lars, tweet your review using the hashtag #biffreviews, for your chance to win tickets to the closing night screening of Anna Karenina.

He must be thinking, "Daniel Day-Lewis has three. Why not me?" First in October, Tom Hanks has Paul Greengrass's Captain Phillips, about the Maersk Alabama's crew being taken hostage by Somali pirates, which is sure to be a tense and heroic turn for Hanks. And then in December he's starring as Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks, the story of the making of Mary Poppins. Disney had a hard time getting the rights from author P.L. Travers (played by Emma Thompson), and the movie revolves around their relationship and Disney's efforts to convince her to sell the rights to her book. Is there a more Academy-pleasing sentence than, "Tom Hanks plays Walt Disney opposite Emma Thompson"?
I want to be skeptical about Mr. Banks because it's Disney producing a movie about Disney so of course Walt will come off like a saint, and the whole project is engineered to be award bait, but…this trailer is goddamned charming. Hanks is particularly twinkly as Disney and Thompson is so stiff-upper-lipped in contrast it's kind of funny, and they have delightful chemistry together. In two minutes this trailer took Mr. Banks to the top of my "gotta see" list and it's just to watch those two play off one another.
But the rest of the cast looks pretty stellar, too. Paul Giamatti, Bradley Whitford, Colin Farrell, Rachel Griffiths, Jason Schwartzman, BJ Novak—that's a great lineup. And it looks fun, right? I laughed a couple times, I'm intrigued by the notion of who Mary Poppins "really" was and by Travers in general, and Hanks and Thompson look really good together. This seems like a matchup of two equal actors in good roles working off strong material. That's always fun to watch. I didn't know what to expect of Mr. Banks beyond "award bait", and while it still is that, now I'm thinking it could be a King's Speech style crowd-pleaser, destined to dominate the box office and award season.
Saving Mr. Banks comes out the weekend before Christmas, which is a big box office holiday. Can you imagine anything more all-around family friendly than Tom Hanks, Walt Disney, Mary Poppins and Emma Thompson? F*ck. This movie will be huge.

What changed in the last 30 days? Did the world just wake up to the idea that the only way out of this quagmire is a twisted currency war that appears to have re-ignited thanks to Abe's efforts? Something appears to have snapped in the American psyche as the last 30 days have seen the largest physical gold sales on record. Between the search volume for 'bulk ammo' and this, we fear something is afoot and while Congress fiddles as our economy burns, Bernanke going 'back to work' is perhaps what the physical 'horders' are thinking... or maybe they understand, as we noted here, that just as Kyle Bass has confirmed previously, Paper Gold is just like allocated, unambiguously owned physical bullion... until it's not.

Eastern Europe has become a popular destination for photographers looking for interesting stories in an exotic and new landscape. The antecedents to this trend range from Jonas Bendiksen's documentation of spaceship junkyards and scrap-metal dealers to Robert Polidori's large scale images of desolation and despair. Today, these areas serve as a main destination for young photographers—but, among the hundreds of projects produced in the area, only a couple come from a personal and individual point of view.
Irina Ruppert's intimate knowledge of Kazakhstan and Eastern Europe comes from an experience of emigration and a complex family history. She moved at the age of 7 with her parents and three siblings from Kazakhstan to Germany in 1976, leaving four other siblings behind, carrying intense and vivid memories of her hometown and everyday life in the villages. After the collapse of the USSR in 1993, Ruppert started traveling back home, where she encountered a place full of political change but the same spirit and feelings she remembered from her childhood.
From 2006 to 2010 she photographed different locations in Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Poland and Kazakhstan. She was most impressed with her hometown and the changes it had gone through since the end of socialism. "It seemed that everything that had to do with the Russian past had been wiped out from one day to the other," she says. "The Cyrillic alphabet and Russian language were gone. Old Russian statues of Lenin and Stalin were given long beards and their names were changed to those of Kazakh personalities."
When Ruppert describes her travels in Eastern Europe, she notes feeling immersed in the experience and always feeling at home. "I can smell the food and see that the colors and landscapes are very different from Germany. People's behaviors are very familiar to me," she explains. "When I get on a bus and there's only one person sitting inside, I always sit next. I never take the last seat alone in the back. People in the East are extreme in their feelings and actions; it's always about being together. I usually travel alone but in the East, you are never alone."
The work she produced was compiled into a book called Rodina, published in 2011 by Peperoni Books in Germany. Each individual picture in the book displays a different mood and atmosphere; it is the travel diary of a child in self-recognition, immersed in a sea of images. "I want to show my view of the East: a small world of a detached observer who is not judgmental or tendentious."
Irina Ruppert
Research for upcoming project about Roma people
Nowadays Ruppert travels looking for wolf tracks coming from Eastern Europe into East Germany as part of a new photographic project. She has also recently received a grant from the VG Bild-Kunst to photograph the Roma people in Romania, a series that she will work on this coming summer. A research photograph from that project, which has not yet begun in earnest, is included at right.
Irina Ruppert is a Hamburg-based photographer. More of her work can be seen here. Her book Rodina, is available in the Kominek Gallery in Berlin.

Kinder Morgan Energy's oil pipeline expansion plans grew even larger Thursday after the company received huge commitments from Asian customers.
The new plans would ship enough crude oil from Alberta to fill 25 to 30 tankers a month through the company's Westridge, Burnaby terminal.
The proposed expansion of the existing Alberta-to-Metro Vancouver pipeline, which Kinder Morgan wants operational by 2017, is to cost $5 billion. It will increase pipeline capacity for crude by 550,000 barrels a day, to 850,000 barrels from the current 300,000 barrels a day.
The expansion is bound to be controversial; Kinder Morgan now plans to construct as much new capacity as Enbridge Inc. has proposed for its contentious Northern Gateway pipeline, said Wilderness Committee campaigner Ben West.
"This is now the biggest proposal," said West. "A bigger pipeline means bigger opposition."
Texas-based Kinder Morgan made the announcement after completing a so-called "open season" to seek binding commitments from potential pipeline customers to book capacity on the pipeline.
The company received more commitments than initially anticipated — enough to ship 660,000 barrels a day for a 20-year term. It has three markets for the oil: Metro Vancouver, Washington state and offshore exports. Most of the customer commitments came from Asia, said Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson.
"Most of these commitments are for movements via our Westridge terminal — heavy oil movements through Westridge onto tankers. We will be working diligently with all the local communities and environmental interests around those issues and concerns," he said in a telephone interview from Calgary.
"This level of commitment will equate to approximately 25 to 30 tankers per month. Today we are moving anywhere from five to 10."
Anderson said the Trans Mountain proposal has attracted so much interest from customers because it offers access to new markets in Asia through a facility that already exists.
"The facilities are there today. The port is there today, the pilots, the tug operators, the first-responders are all there. I think there is a belief that that has merit and expansion of existing infrastructure is a feasible way to go."
Port Metro Vancouver harbourmaster Yoss Leclerc said the port could easily handle the extra tankers.
"Absolutely," he said. "It's controlled, monitored and we have the windows."
Leclerc said the port has three windows per day - 20 minutes to over an hour when there is "slack water" or no currents — in which tankers and other heavy vessels can move under the Second Narrows Bridge.
He said the area under the bridge doesn't require any dredging with the current tankers, but if the ships are bigger and dredging is required, "it would require a comprehensive community and environmental consultation.
"But I don't think it would be a big dredging."
Piloting the tankers is not expected to pose any unusual risks, said Kevin Obermeyer, chief executive officer of the Pacific Pilotage Authority. The authority has already conducted trials aboard a tanker in Georgia Strait to test procedures that have been in place since 2010.
He said two pilots are on board tankers and they carry with them their own computer with all the needed navigational inputs in the event there is a power failure aboard the ship.
"The worst-case scenario would be a tanker with a full hard-over rudder failure [when the rudder, turned as far as it can go in one direction, gets stuck in that position]. With the tugs that we are using and the systems we have in place, we can straighten that vessel out and carry right on under the bridge safely with the rudder hard over."
He said there has never been a hard-over rudder failure on the West Coast. The tankers coming into the inlet would not be large enough to refer to as super-tankers, he said.
Ernie George, director of treaty, lands and resources for the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, which is on the Burrard Inlet, said their opposition to the pipeline expansion remains unchanged.
"We're opposed to the whole expansion of the project. The risk is too great," he said referring to the possibility of an oil spill in Burrard Inlet.
However, George didn't want to comment further until Kinder Morgan has finished consulting with his first nation community over the issue.
The next step for Kinder Morgan, Anderson said, is to seek approval from the National Energy Board this summer for the commercial terms it has entered into with customers.
Detailed design and routing work, along with consultations with communities and first nations, is to take place over the next 18-24 months.
Anderson expects Kinder Morgan to file an official proposal to build the pipeline with the National Energy Board in late 2013. If it receives approval by 2015, construction could be completed by 2017. He said two-thirds of the $5-billion cost would be spent in B.C.
Canadian oil producers have been urging development of a line to let them tap high-paying Asian markets and U.S. West Coast refineries. The majority of Canada's oil exports now flow to the U.S. Midwest, where a glut of crude at the Cushing, Okla., storage hub has depressed prices.
The 1,150-kilometre Trans Mountain pipeline was originally built in 1953 to bring oil to southwestern B.C.

Here are select December 2012 rulings of the Supreme Court of the Philippines on civil law:
Civil Code
Damages; When Applicable. It is essential that for damages to be awarded, a claimant must satisfactorily prove during the trial that they have a factual basis, and that the defendant's acts have a causal connection to them. Article 2229 of the Civil Code provides that exemplary damages may be imposed "by way of example or correction for the public good, in addition to the moral, temperate, liquidated or compensatory damages." They are, however, not recoverable as a matter of right. They are awarded only if the guilty party acted in a wanton, fraudulent, reckless, oppressive or malevolent manner. Albert M. Ching, et al. vs. Felix M. Bantolo, et al.; G.R. No. 177086. December 5, 2012
Sale of Real Property; Must be in a Public Document; requirement only for convenience. Article 1358 of the Civil Code provides that acts and contracts which have for their object the transmission of real rights over immovable property or the sale of real property must appear in a public document. If the law requires a document or other special form, the contracting parties may compel each other to observe that form, once the contract has been perfected. In Fule v. Court of Appeals, the Court held that Article 1358 of the Civil Code, which requires the embodiment of certain contracts in a public instrument, is only for convenience, and registration of the instrument only adversely affects third parties. Formal requirements are, therefore, for the benefit of third parties. Non-compliance therewith does not adversely affect the validity of the contract nor the contractual rights and obligations of the parties thereunder. Lagrimas de Jesus Zamora v. Spouses Beatriz Zamora et al., G.R. No. 162930. December 5, 2012.

Review: Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch is the best Sprint Android phone of 2011, that I wouldn't buy
It's been awhile since I reviewed an Android device, so let's jump right to the point. The Samsung Galaxy S II is the best Android phone of 2011. At least for another week (maybe less). We often joke that new Android phones come out every week, but next week happens to be special because Google and Samsung are holding a live stream event on October 11th so we can "get a look at what's new from Android."
In case you haven't been paying close attention, this is when we expect Google to announce all the surprise features coming to their next version of Android, codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich. We should also find out more about the release window for Google's next flagship device, the Samsung Nexus Prime.
Having said that, I've been using the Sprint Epic 4G Touch for the last several weeks and I'd like to post a quick 10-point review. I really love the 25-page phone reviews that I find on other sites, but the reality is that most consumers just care about the major pros and cons of a device. We felt the perfect mix of the two styles was to create a list of the top talking-points for a device, fit them into a 10 minute video, go into written detail where needed, and provide an overall ranking of the device from a scale of 1 to 10.
We feel that this current format will allow us to be more flexible with the details we cover and allow our authors' voices to come out. Check out how the Epic 4G Touch measured up and let us know how we can continue to improve the review format.
1. 4.52 inch Super AMOLED Plus display
When you buy a high-end Samsung Mobile device, you expect the best in display technology and the Galaxy S II does not disappoint. Samsung's Super AMOLED displays have long been some of the best screens we have seen on Android phones and the new Plus series takes it to the next level.
Super AMOLED Plus uses a common RGB subpixels arrangement instead of a PenTile RGBG pixel matrix. This means the subpixels in a group increases from eight to twelve, resulting in finer detail. The screen technology is also brighter, thinner and 18% more energy efficient than traditional Super AMOLED displays.
Samsung is transitioning to higher 720HD resolutions on their newest Super AMOLED Plus displays, but the Epic 4G touch is only 800×480 WVGA. That might disappoint some people since Motorola and HTC have moved to qHD (960×540) displays, but I don't really see a major reason to have such a high resolution on a display under 5 inches. I have no problems with sharpness or readability with WVGA resolution with the 4.5 inch display used in the Epic 4G Touch.
My last two phones (Nexus One and Nexus S) both had Super AMOLED displays so I knew what to expect, but I couldn't tell a huge difference with the newer Super AMOLED Plus. I did notice the Plus displays are a little brighter and they offer better battery life vs traditional AMOLED displays, so I have no complaints.
2. Dual-core 1.2 GHz Exynos 4210 processor
Dual-core processors have become the standard on high-end Android phones, but I've generally been satisfied with my single-core Nexus S since it offered an overall more snappy experience than some recent releases. The Galaxy S II is the first Android device that makes me forget about my Nexus S and its performance is so responsive that my old single-core phone now feels slow.
I'm normally the one obsessed with benchmarks that measure how the latest processors stack up, but I'm reminded with every new Android device that the overall user experience is more important than a couple of benchmark scores. Having said that, Samsung's dual-core 1.2 GHz Exynos 4210 system-on-a-chip contains an ARM Mali-400 GPU that is the fastest we have seen. Very few games actually take advantage of this faster GPU, but it's nice to have the power under the hood for next year's latest titles.
For a full set of benchmarks, head over to the excellent review posted by Anandtech.
3. Samsung Media Hub
Google now provides movies for rental through the Android Market, but Samsung goes above and beyond by allowing users to purchase or rent both movies and TV shows with Media Hub. Movie rental prices are competivie with Google at $2-3 and most titles can be owned for $10-17. The TV show library has a nice selection with multiple seasons for most series and individual episodes can be owned for $0.01-2.99.
Best of all, Samsung allows users to play back the content they purchase on a HDTV via the MHL port.
4. Android 2.3.4 with TouchWiz UI and Sprint ID
All of the announced versions of the Galaxy S II will ship with the latest Android 2.3.x and Samsung's TouchWiz UI. Sprint's edition also includes Sprint ID, which allows users to easily switch between different packs that contain a selection of apps and widgets.
Normally we frown on some of the customized UIs that get slapped on top of Android, but Samsung's TouchWiz UI does not get in the way and it provides an experience that might be more friendly for new users. If you are one of those people that prefer a more stock experience, you can use Sprint ID to download a "Clean ID" that includes a blank homescreen and the traditional launcher from Android 2.3.
I really like how Sprint ID is progressing and I hope the concept eventually gets picked up by Google. It's a fun way to explore all the ID packs that Sprint has to offer (MTV, Fantasy Football, NASCAR, games, auto enthusiast, etc.) and it only takes seconds to switch between different packs.
Speaking of the software, I also appreciate the additions of AllShare for DLNA streaming, Kies air for wireless file syncing, My files for file management, and Video maker to edit videos.
Sprint still includes their normal library of value-added apps like NASCAR, Sprint Music, Sprint Radio, Sprint TV, and TeleNav GPS but thankfully most of these can be removed by the user.
5. Unlimited 4G WiMAX data
Most unlimited 4G plans have now been replaced with usage tiers, but Sprint still allows true unlimited data while connected to a 4G network for only $79 per month. AT&T and Verizon now charge you extra for going over 2 GB and T-Mobile throttles your speed after 5 GB, so it's nice to see Sprint still sticking with unlimited plans as long as they can.
Sprint now limits mobile hotspot data to only 5 GB for an extra $29.99 a month, but data generated on the phone remains unlimited. I think Sprint is overcharging for mobile hotspot data, so keep that in mind if you plan to tether.
Data speeds on Sprint 4G continue to be a mixed bag, so check your local area to see if you have coverage. Download speeds can peak at 10 Mbps, but they are often in the 2-5 Mbps range and slower than competing 4G networks.
6. Mobile High-definition Link (MHL)
The Galaxy S II was one of the first phones to include mobile high-definition link (MHL), which provides uncompressed 1080p HD video transfer, 7.1 surround sound, device remote control, and charging all through a single port. Hooking up a smartphone to a HDTV normally requires two cables (HDMI + charging), but the latest HDTVs that support MHL can accomplish this with a single thin cable.
7. Dual cameras
The Galaxy S II contains an 8 megapixeal camera on the back and a 2 megapixeal camera on the front. I am not a camera expert, but the Galaxy S II takes the best looking photos of any Android phone I have used. Please don't take my word for it; I invite you to browse the thousands of photos on Flickr taken by a Galaxy S II.
8. Build quality and design
Even though it is made primarily of plastic, the Galaxy S II feels like a high-end device. Some smartphone fans say that plastic casing is a deal-breaker, but it is no big issue for me. Samsung improved their battery cover with a textured finish that gives it some extra grip and won't show finger prints.
I was a little worried that the 4.52 inch display might make the phone too large, but the Epic 4G Touch fit nicely in my hands. It is surprisingly thin (9.6mm) and light (129g), which makes up for the slightly larger size. If you have smaller hands, I'd suggest visiting your Sprint store to check out how it fits.
9. Hackability
Hardcore users that like to hack their Android phones should love the Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch. The device has already been rooted, a modified recovery image is available, and custom ROMs are starating to appear. Popular ROMs like the community-driven CyanogenMod are already available for the international version of the Galaxy S II, so there is a good chance they will be coming soon to the Epic 4G Touch.
10. No near field communications (NFC)
Sprint was the first carrier to support Google Wallet with the Samsung Nexus S, so it is a major mystery why the Samsung Epic 4G Touch lacks a near field communications (NFC) chip. The AT&T and T-Mobile versions include this feature, so I have no idea why Sprint requested it to be removed.
Sprint did include their own app called Mobile Wallet, but it only allows you to store your credit card info for online purchases on select online sites.
We've heard that special stickers might one day add NFC-capabilities to Android phones, but those are still MIA and we are disappointed with the lack of built-in NFC on the Epic 4G Touch.
Final Thoughts
I'd love to review an Android phone without talking about the next major device coming out, but it's just too hard to ignore with this timing. The Galaxy S II is my new favorite Android device, but I will not be investing my money in one with the Nexus Prime launch on the horizon.
The original Sprint Epic 4G still runs Android 2.2 even though Android 2.3 has been out for almost a year, and that pattern is likely to continue with the Epic 4G Touch. I'm sure that Sprint will eventually upgrade this device to Ice Cream Sandwich sometime next year, but why wait that long when you could just purchase the Nexus Prime and get guaranteed software updates from Google?
If Verizon somehow pulls off a Nexus Prime exclusive launch window, then Sprint customers might want to consider the Epic 4G Touch depending on when they want to make a purchase. We don't know how this will play out, but Google should provide an answer next week. If it was my money, I'd wait.
Reviewing an Android phone is hard when things change so fast, but if we look at the Epic 4G Touch in a vacuum then it's an excellent purchase and that's why I'm scoring it 9/10. Just don't come complaining if you purchase it this week and then Google announces a superior version next week.

and if you need a eyewitness account i will be glad to tell the truth!
i think alot of the soldiers have the same feelings , and most of you hear don't hear about the truth of whats going on! i just seen the news about what he said to his parents and you know what alot of guys have the same feeling. I Do! and thats why i am home! i feel so said for the Cpl its unreally that if he was given the chance to go home and he was not given permission and now hes dead! makes me wonder how certain people can sleep with themselves at night!
i got sent home due to Combat Stress , when your not sleeping for like 6 days str8 because your out in the hills for 35 days on 3 days off. i was told to go in to camp and then send home
..... Yet the media seems to take this as something new? They are taking this (his "alleged" statements) completely entire this out of context (assuming that they were accurately reported). In my opinion that young lad sounded like every other soldier I have seen on deployment in that he just wanted to get his tour over and done with, and get back to the land of beer and pizza. The media however, assumes "what he really meant was......." blah, blah, blah.... I guess some news agencies will always pick and choose what they report, and how they will report it, in order to put their own personal slant on things.
First off, they are not reporting what "He Said", they are reporting what "His Girlfriend's FATHER Said".
People talk crap when their stressed and they vent. "Don't mean nothing"
First off, they are not reporting what "He Said", they are reporting what "His Girlfriend's FATHER Said". A whole different ballgame there. It is Third Hand or even Fourth Hand "Speculation" which would be unbelievable in all other circles. Please pay attention to detail.
And that statement is as valid today, as was when we used it 30+ years ago in similar situations. I daresay people said something very similar, if not the same, 200 years ago....it's how the stress is dealt with

When No. 1 Alabama and No. 6 Texas A&M face off on Saturday in College Station, it will be just the sixth time these two schools have met.
Despite this historical unfamiliarity, both teams are bound together by a common thread that goes beyond their mere status as Southeastern Conference brethren.
It stands to reason that both programs would not be in the position they are now if not for the work of one man — Paul 'Bear' Bryant, who was born 100 years ago this week.
His first team at A&M, the 1954 squad, went 1-9 after surviving a grueling training camp at Junction, Texas. Two years later, the legendary "Junction Boys" would go undefeated and capture their first Southwest Conference championship in 15 seasons. When John David Crow won the Aggies' first Heisman Trophy in 1957, it was in large part because Bryant vouched on his behalf.
"If he doesn't win it, then they ought to quit giving it," Bryant told the press.
In 1958, Bryant was tabbed by his alma mater to be its head coach and athletic director: "Momma called. And when Momma calls, you just have to come runnin'," he said of his return to Alabama.
His tenure at Alabama was remarkable. He coached the Tide for 25 years, winning six national titles (1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, and 1979) and thirteen SEC championships. He was the three-time national Coach of the Year. When he finished, he had won more games than any other Division I coach, compiling a lifetime record of 323-85-17.
The Bear passed away in January of 1983, just a few weeks after retiring from football.
What would he think of these two teams getting ready to play on Saturday? He'd probably get a kick out of Johnny Manziel's free-wheeling style — after all, he coached one Joe Namath — though it's doubtful he'd tolerate any of his off-the-field antics. The power-running and physical approach of the Crimson Tide on both sides of the ball would be right up his alley.
Most of all, he'd be proud of what his two teams had become — national powers playing the sport at the highest of levels.
If there's anyone left who represents the spirit of Bryant and his connection to these two schools, it's Crow, who coached under Bryant at Alabama after starring for the Aggies on Bryant's last team there. When Alabama and A&M storm onto Kyle Field on Saturday, he'll be there to watch his Heisman heir try to pull off another upset. But he won't be devastated if the Tide wins.
"I tell everybody that A&M is my true love and that I want us to win everything that we do, but Alabama is a close second because of the ties I had with Coach Bryant, and with my son playing over there," Crow told the College Station Eagle.
If this year's game is as exciting as last year's 29-24 upset by A&M in Tuscaloosa, it may signal the beginning of a rather interesting and unique rivalry.
The Bear would no doubt approve.

text: The past two decades of research have overturned nearly all the important assumptions and predictions of an earlier generation of modern secular and atheist thinkers relating to the issue of God. Modern thinkers assumed that science would reveal the universe to be ever more and mechanical; instead it has discovered unexpected new layers of intricate order that bespeak an almost imaginably vast master design. Modern psychologists predicted that religion would be exposed as a neurosis and outgrown; instead, religious commitment has been shown empirically to be a vital component of basic mental health....Few people seem to realize this, but by now it should be clear: Over the course of a century in the great debate between science and faith, the tables have completely turned. In the wake of Darwin, atheists and agnostics like Huxley and Russell could point to what appeared to be a solid body of testable theory purportedly showing life to be accidental and the universe radically contingent. Many scientists and intellectuals continue to cleave to this worldview. But they are increasingly pressed to almost absurd lengths to defend it. Today the concrete data point strongly in the direction of the God hypothesis. (p. 19-20, 53)

The traditional Meet the Dutchmen scrimmage featuring the Hope football team will be held Saturday, Aug. 30.
The scrimmage will be held at the college's Ekdal J. Buys athletic fields, which are north of Holland Municipal Stadium. The scrimmage will begin at 10 a.m. Admission is free.
With a pre-season roster of 159 players, coach Dean Kreps and his staff have been busy preparing the defending Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) champion Flying Dutchmen for the college's 99th year of gridiron action.
The Flying Dutchmen will open their season Saturday, Sept. 6 hosting Illinois Wesleyan University for the traditional Community Day game.
The Flying Dutchmen posted 6-4 record in 2007 and were MIAA co-champions with Olivet. Coach Dean Kreps' Dutchmen have been pegged as the pre-season favorite in this year's MIAA race.

It seems inconsistent to me to say on the one hand that the RDFa Task Force doesn't have to coordinate with the HTML WG because its work is XHTML-specific, but then on the other hand that the RDFa Task Force's work product can be applied to the text/html serialization of HTML.

Didn't realize there was a real one in the driveway, that's even cooler!
It amazes me the quality of the roof in its raw form... such good work n00b.
Didn't realize there was a real one in the driveway, that's even cooler!
It amazes me the quality of the roof in its raw form... such good work n00b.
question: How did you make the roof part, did you laminate it or is it vacuum formed?
btw, awesome work, certainly that window around the corner
Wait, so is this going to be 3 wheel drive?
Pls can you give me some more info about narrowing the yota's axles?
Golly! You nailed that back roof section. The rear side windows are really good. This is by far your nicest jeep thing yet.
Rich, I'm lookin at that roof and can only scratch my head. Crazy clean work as usual sir. Those are really swell pencil lines too. Did you handcraft the drawing instrument as well?
And after I ruined it. I was trying to make it more scale.
"I don't have many pictures of the process since I was experimenting and didn't know if it would work. I removed 10mm from each side of the axles. I drilled the housing out to accept some aluminum tubing I had laying around. Then I cut a section out of the housing and used JB Weld to stick it back together. I figured out a way to make the axles come apart for service if they needed it. The axle shafts were just cut and brazed back together. I have no idea if this is going to hold up to actual use, but I'm going to take it easy on this truck anyway."
SBG Junior Vice President in Charge of Jerps
I couldn't find any shocks that were short or thin enough so I built my own. They are made from 1/4" and 3/16" brake line and some 1/8" rod. Shock boots are from a Bruiser. I ran out of Sophisticated Finishes rust paint so I had to weather them old school with paint.
I also threw some details on the axles. Breather, fill and drain plugs.

Love how the boots are all humped up, they're never perfect.
One needs a rip! Unless of course your full scale model does not.
If we could rate you for ruining stuff, you would be a Pro too!

An IP address is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet, which our web servers use to identify where to send the information your computer requests. When you request pages from the Web Site, our servers log your IP address as well as information about your activities on those pages.

We may use web beacons for many purposes, such as to count visitors to the Web Site, or to monitor how visitors navigate the Web Site, and we may include web beacons or similar technologies in e-mails in order to count how many e-mails (or particular articles, links, etc.) we sent were actually opened.

Hello everyone,
I am brand new to this forum and I am a beginner at this Java malarkey!
I am doing a project for college at the moment and am getting a NullPointerException error
when I try to run my code and have no idea why I am getting it!
Please can someone help me?
I know my code is not the best and there are probably lots of things I am doing wrong (proper standards for how to write the code etc...)
But for now I just need to figure out why I am getting the NullPointerException on my method.
It is giving me the error on method setLabelHolder, which I am sure has access to the array pics[] and the int numItems...
The array I am trying to populate - LabelHolder - I am sure has also been properly declared and initialised...
Please see attached code, and apologies for the way it is in 2 separate files with main in 1 file and the rest of the code in the other, its that way on purpose for now, sorry if its confusing.

The first two months of 2013, we decided to foster a few puppies to help heal the hole that was left when Macy passed away in November 2012. We went to the shelter one night to wait for the transport with excitement. We were supposed to be fostering a little pup named Pancho. The transport came and there were two puppies in the van that weren't supposed to be on there. The shelter had no idea they were coming and nobody lined up to take them. They asked if we would be able to take two puppies instead of just one...and how could I say no to these faces. Ginger and Snap were tons of fun!
My husband knows me! For Valentine's day, these hot pink running shoes were waiting for me on the counter when I got up that morning. It was my first pair in almost a year. I would spend the rest of 2013 trying to recover from an injured hip and a mysterious illness. My racing season wasn't quite what I hoped it would be, but I am going in to 2014 with high hopes.
My three Valentine's Day cuties in their shirts that Gammy and Poppy sent them.
My hubby and I celebrated 10 years of marriage in March. This year taught me what a gem I have in him. He is truly a gift. We spent our anniversary in Michigan. My parents took the kids for the day and we were able to go see a movie and go out to dinner. Early the next morning, Collin got the stomach flu which put a cramp in our style for the rest of spring break. It was a wicked bug that took out every one of us but Dan.
On our way back from Michigan, we stopped to pick up our new addition. It was out of our way and a little tricky to accomplish with my little man sick with the stomach bug, but we arrived home with my Anniversary present with no regrets. He's the best anniversary gift I have been given...I wouldn't trade him for the world.
In April, Kaitlyn picked out Teddy. My little girl has such a love for animals. I am thankful for a husband that allows his little girl (and me too!) to enjoy having pets in our home.
One day after Dan's birthday and a week before mine, Collin jumped off of our deck and ended up breaking his leg. This was quite an experience and gave me a new found thankfulness for the health of my little family...and also a greater respect for parents of kid with physical handicaps...or really any medical condition. I spent the first few nights with him on the couch trying to keep him comfortable and listening to him scream out in pain. It was almost more than this Momma could take. I wanted to take this from him and prayed that God would give him comfort and peace. It broke my heart to watch him not be able to run and play with the other kids and see him get so frustrated when he couldn't do things for himself. His teachers at school were wonderful and I really am so thankful for all they did for him (and me). He spent about 5 weeks in his cast and another few weeks not being able to walk. We are so thankful that it wasn't worse and that he didn't end up needing any kind of physical therapy. We really hope he never jumps off the deck or anything else again...but if you know Collin, you know that's doubtful!
Kaitlyn celebrated her 9th birthday in May...she also got glasses this year. I am blown away that God has allowed me the gift of a daughter. She gets prettier with each passing year and never ceases to amaze me with how smart she is. I love her heart for animals, her spunk, her strong-will, and her determination. She is competitive and likes to be the best. She's growing like a weed and I can hardly believe she will be in double digits in no time.
After a rough start to his kindergarten year, Collin did adjust and actually excelled in his first year of school. With tears in my eyes, I watched my little man receive his medal for "graduating" kindergarten. I was one proud Mama.
The summer included several trips to Six Flags! Kaitlyn loves the roller coasters, Landon conquered his fears and rode a few rides for the first time this year, and Collin loves the water park.
In July, Dan took risk and accepted an offer at a new job. He is now a rental property inspector and loves his new line of work. It was an answer to prayer and has really been such a good thing for our family. He is able to be home more often, has a more flexible schedule, and can even work from home some days. It's so nice to see him leave the house in something other than nasty old clothes, work boots, and tool pouches.
Collin celebrated his sixth birthday at the beginning of August. He wasn't walking very well yet, but he enjoyed it all the same. He got a new bike and chose McDonalds for his birthday meal. I am thankful for the fun he brings to our little family. His imagination is incredible and the things that come out of his mouth are hilarious. He has a great sense of humor and is a go with the flow kind of guy. He is impulsive and creative and keeps me on my toes...and I wouldn't trade him for the world.
My Middle Man turned eight a few days after his little brother. My handsome boy chose Steak N Shake for his birthday meal and (just like his brother) got a new bike for his birthday. He brings the calm and reason to our family. He sees lessons in everything and his wheels are always turning. He can be more reserved than the other two, but get him alone and he will talk your ear off. He is loving and always puts others before himself. He is cautious but does like to have fun once he feels comfortable. I love his cuddles and the kind things he says...he truly is precious.
At the end of August, I got to check something off my bucket list...I got to run a race with my Dad. I wasn't feeling the greatest, but this was such a special race to me. I am so proud of both my Dad and my sister and thankful that we can share a love for running. My Dad ran a great race and it was so fun to cross the finish line and see both of them waiting with medals around their necks. I always enjoy running with them when we are all together and I am looking forward to running with these two this next year!
We finally started the renovations on our basement. It's been a long time coming! It's been fun to sit and watch my man at work and I have been amazed my his progress! Hopefully, in 2014, we will be finished and able to enjoy our new space!
After the unfortunate death of Teddy, my little girl was heartbroken. We had decided that it was best to give her heart a rest...but, I couldn't help myself. I surprised her with a new friend, Asia...a dwarf rabbit...who has been so much fun to have!
Days after the kids went back to school, I started a second job at a local orchard. I wondered if I would be able to wing it with my health concerns, but it was really a blessing. I loved working there every day, the people that I worked with, and the atmosphere. At the end of the season, they asked me to come back next year...of course I accepted. They handed out vouchers to all their employees and the kids and I were able to go pick apples for free. I am looking forward to spending the fall months of 2014 there again!
Halloween 2013 - even the dogs dressed up. :)
When I look at this picture I feel overwhelmed with how blessed we were this past year! Happy New Year everyone!
