-no camara
-no bluetooth
-no mp3 ringtones
but this phone will have to do untill the next
any quistions or comments email me @
gray font in menus a problem
My dad bought this phone as a replacement for the phone he accidentally ran over with his car 6 months after renewing his contract. (Good reason to get the insurance.) Anyway. The man is 77 years old. He bought this phone because it was the cheapest option. Problem. The menus are all gray. It is not until you pick an option that the font is black. I have tried EVERYTHING. I even went to an AT&T store to look for another phone. The same phone on display did not have gray font, but they could not sell it to me because he has an active account. I found the same one at Best Buy with different packaging. Same gray font.
If you are under the age of 40 and just want to make & receive calls...great. (You probably have a fancier phone) But just know if you need to read the menu or go through your contact list and your eyesight is fading, this may not be the phone for you.
AD reviews continues below...
Good entry level device
This is a good entry level phone. The internal antenna isn't too limiting, it still manages good signal strength.
Not many bells and whistles but is Edge capable and battery life is pretty good for this type of phone.
All in all not a bad starter phone.
My samsung phone
I bought this phone for $55 with a $20 rebate in August 2008.
The main and only reason I bought the phone was it was among the cheaper range and I wanted a phone which has a flap. I like its display telling me who's calling and I can just open the flap to answer the call.But you can reject the call if you activate this setting(Open to Answer in Extra Settings). :)
A main problem I found about this phone is you have to manually copy one contact at a time to the SIM. So When I had to reset my phone it has a "copy all to phone" option, but no "copy all to sim".
After going through the reviews I discovered that few users complaint about the grey font and black and white display.
There is an option in the settings -> display where in you can chose rainbow for the text display and also set random wallpapers. Hope this helps..
A good phone to have
Pros: Good phone to text on and to call from. Nice look and good battery.
Cons: Has no service in some areas, freezes a little bit.
Summary: I got this phone after my tracfone had crapped out on me and lost my minutes I had on it. So I switched from tracfone to AT&T Go Phone Pay As You Go phone. But I keep on getting calls from telemarketers, but I don't answer them. I believe the calls are due to AT&T. I don't know. Don't quote me on that. All in all, this phone does what you need it to get done. I would recommend this phone to anyone who just loves to text and call.
Avoid at Any cost
I've had this phone for a month and the power button already sticks making it difficult and at times impossible to power on. The screen also freezes at times. The side volume button is also too easily pressed while holding the phone.
On the plus side, it is small, the keypad is large considering the phone's overall size and lights up in blue. The keys are not too hard or soft. And the speakerphone is good sounding.
All of which matters for nothing if you can't use the phone after a month. Hense my rating of 1.
Nice basic phone, terrible signal.
I am on at&t and am in the middle of my contract when my moto razr v3xx took a dive into the ocean. I needed a cheap basic phone just to use till i can renew my contract and get another razr.
This phone is small, light weight and overall a good looking phone. It doesnt have any bells or whistles, just a basic phone to make calls and text.
The good:
Small, light, inexpensive, good temp phone, great battery life.
The bad:
Horrible cell signal. I swear that if i am not within eyesight of a tower, this phone does not have any service. I drop calls left and right with this phone. It's made for at&t but it seems to not work very well in my area. My razr worked just fine for cell signal.
It's hard to hear people on this phone. The volume is just so low even turned all the way up. The speaker phone is just a joke.
The volume buttons are placed right where i hold the phone so i'm always hitting them, as well as the ring volume, which is also very low.
Only polyphonic tones, not a great selection but you can d/l some from at&t.
Overall, even though the phone is cute and compact, it's not going to cut it for me for the remainder of my contract. Whats the point of having a cell phone if you need to be next to a tower for service. So i've already ordered a used razr for the at&t network on ebay.. just like my old one.
big disappointment
This phone turned out to be an absolute catastrophe for me.
Before my AT&T contract expired in January, I had broken my SonyEricsson phone and needed a quick fix for two months. For $49, the A117 was the right phone at the right time.
I was pretty content with what I had gotten with the phone. It looked pretty nice and had an awesome keypad. Layouts were simple, and there were no gizmos, gadgets, etc. I never used a phone for more than calling and texting anyway, so I could live without having bluetooth and mp3 ringers.
And that leads to the major downfall of this phone: it has the absolute worst recpetion of any phone that I have ever had or seen. And i've had over a dozen cell phones, but this one takes the cake. I could live with a bare basic phone, but I couldn't live with one that had terrible reception.
If your looking for a quick fix like I was, shell out the extra 20 bucks or so and get an A127. Those have much better reception!
Nice size thin, nice phone, good connections, fast hsdpa, love the screen. Somewhat faster and nicer then my kids sync's. And we can share chargers. Price is fair.
I guess some don't like the outside screen, or lack of it, or its small size whatever. As long as I can pick up the caller I.D. its all I really need.
Nice Basic Samsung
This is almost the perfect phone if all you want is something to make and receive calls on.
There are just enough features like text messaging, speakerphone, ability to download ringtones and some graphics, and full featured phonebook.
No camera, or bluetooth, doesn't come with any games.
Appears to get fairly good battery life, and seems to hold a signal pretty well. The internal antenna makes for a compact design. Very nice.

WEATHER: Chilly — 55ish.
WHERE TO: Columbia Heights and Adams Morgan
MOOD: Exhausted.
Well, kids, Boston and the day after were two of the BIGGEST-READERSHIP DAYS EVER here on therunninglog. Thank you for validating my potentially disastrous decision to run my body into the ground. I have a friend — I will call him "Frenchy" — who has on several occasions stated his attitude towards marathoning as follows:
"…or I could just sit here and smack my head against a brick wall for 4 hours."
Fair point, Frenchy. And after my run AND Crampy McPainypants ride THAT NIGHT back to DC in coach on Amtrak, I sort of felt the same way. But with one key difference: I felt like a SUPERHERO who had smacked her head against a brick wall. For 3 hours and 39 minutes.
Anyway, I now find myself neck-deep in finals (TEN MORE DAYS OF WORK, KIDS!) and in near-panic territory. The sleep-or-running dilemma, which I have heard is not a tough conundrum for many people to deal with, pesters me every morning at around 6 AM. And so it was this morning, but I powered through. But only barely, and I now am sucking down Ricolas and praying that the scratch in the back of my throat doesn't morph into a giant phlegm demon. Blaaaaaargh.
You know, I could write something way more funny and exciting but I'm exhausted and I got shit to do, kids. We talk later.
Love and kisses,

Endive, Pear and Watercress Salad
From the Kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This recipe is loosely based on one developed by Thomas Keller about a decade ago. The ingredients are readily available, though the cost of Belgian endive and walnut oil may put the salad into the once-in-awhile category for some. I love the way the ingredients in this salad marry; endive adds crunch and texture while the bitter-sweet flavors of watercress and pear play on the tongue. Candied walnuts replace croutons and add a final fillip to this luscious salad. When you are looking for something special or want to pamper yourself, I'd recommend this elegant and easy to prepare salad.
Endive, Pear and Watercress Salad...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite inspired by Thomas Keller
4 Belgian endives, halved lengthwise, cored, cut crosswise into thirds
2 small, firm, ripe Bartlet pears, peeled, cord, thinly sliced, cut crosswise into thirds
1 large bunch watercress or baby arugula, stems removed
Salt and freshly cracked pepper
1/4 to 1/2 cup walnut and sherry salad dressing (see below)
3/4 cup candied walnuts (see below)
1) Pour 3 to 4 tablespoons walnut and sherry salad dressing into a large salad bowl. Add endives, pears and water cress.
2) Toss just before serving. Sprinkle with salt and pepper; top with candied walnuts. Serve extra salad dressing at the table. Yield: 4 servings.
Walnut and Sherry Salad Dressing: Combine 3 tablespoons sherry wine vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons walnut oil in a shaker jar with lid. Shake to combine. Chill. Yield: 1/2 cup.
Candied Walnuts: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spread 3/4 cup walnuts on a cookie sheet. Toast for 8 minutes, or until fragrant. Transfer to a bowl. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons water. Add a pinch of cayenne and salt. Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and toss to coat. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes , or until walnuts are brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate and cool in a single layer. Yield 3/4 cup.

Yesterday morning our home was visited by twenty guests! They're not just 'guests'. They're Zea's very special guests. They're seventeen classmates, two teachers and one school guard. As usual every year Zea's kindergarten has a Home Visit program. It's a program to visit a student's home. Yesterday was our turn. Since the location of the school building and our home was not too far so they could walk hand in hand to our home. At the moment they arrived, everything seemed brighter. Kids and their magic things. They simply cheered everything up.
We did many interesting things together such as singing, drawing, coloring, cutting the papers, gluing the shapes, taking pictures and eating lunch together. Time run so fast. Suddenly it's just eleven sharp and they had to leave. Thank you for coming. All of you had made our day as a perfect one.

Asia Pacific. China is now the most attractive country for wind development and it contributed $10 billion to the sector in the second quarter of 2010.
Australasia. Australia and New Zealand are weighing in with significant projects that are due to come online within the next two years.
Europe. With Germany and Spain, the continents established onshore leaders, showing little appetite for large projects, the baton looks set to be passed to the UK, Sweden and Norway.
North America. Despite a disappointing 2010, the US continues to think big with 25 project of 250MW or more due to come online between 2011-12.
Emerging Markets. A number of players are making significant strides in wind power, notably Brazil, Turkey, Poland and Morocco.
The criteria for inclusion - Asia-Pacific (200MW), Australasia (200MW), Europe (100MW), North America (250MW) and Emerging Markets (100MW).

Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney edged back into active campaigning on Tuesday while President Barack Obama stayed close to the White House, rival candidates calibrating their responses to superstorm Sandy and the misery it inflicted on millions.
In a close race with one week to run, both men appealed for donations — for relief agencies rather than their own campaign treasuries.
For full election coverage, visit NBCNews.com.
U.S. & World
"This is a tough time for millions of people ... But America is tougher," the president said during a brief visit to the American Red Cross, where he warned of more storm damage to come yet sought to reassure victims. He said he wanted "no bureaucracy, no red tape" to interfere with recovery, and suggested the military might be able to help in view of the enormity of the damage.
Romney, too, spoke of concern for storm victims. "A lot of people hurting this morning," he told several hundred supporters who were collecting supplies for victims of the storm that ravaged parts of the Eastern Seaboard on Monday before moving inland overnight. "We're looking for all the help we can get for all the families that need."
The race for the White House was hardly on hold.
Both campaigns pushed their supporters to vote early, and millions of them did.
In Florida, election officials said more than 2.2 million ballots had been cast by absentee mail-in ballots or in person as of Monday night, a total approaching 20 percent of the electorate.
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Ubiquitous polls offered little clarity. Many showed a statistically insignificant 1 or 2 percentage-point margin for one candidate or the other, and individual battleground state surveys were close.
That made the storm-driven interlude even more delicate as the two campaigns sought to execute late-campaign strategies without appearing insensitive to the enormity of the loss in New York, New Jersey and elsewhere.
With the incumbency at his disposal, Obama received a briefing on the storm, presided over a telephone conference call with governors and mayors from affected areas and arranged a trip Wednesday to New Jersey, where Republican Gov. Chris Christie has praised his management of the storm disaster.
Obama's limousine ride to the Red Cross took him only a few blocks from the White House, but he was assured of national news coverage when he spoke.
Romney, too, was in public during the day, although his appearance was a blend of the political and the nonpartisan.
He didn't mention Obama in his brief remarks, but aides showed a campaign video on large screens inside the arena before he arrived. "I will devote every waking hour of my energy to getting America strong again. That's what an American president has to do," he says in it.
Standing in front of tables where campaign volunteers had neatly lined up toothpaste, diapers, canned food and fleece blankets, he said: "We have heavy hearts as you know with all the suffering going on in a major part of our country," he said, referring to the storm. Afterwards, he loaded relief supplies into a waiting truck.
Romney has said he believes state and local governments should have primary responsibility for emergency cleanup, and he refused Tuesday to answer repeated questions from reporters about how he would run the Federal Emergency Management Agency if he wins the election.
Asked about federal aid to help recover and rebuild from Sandy, Romney spokeswoman Amanda Henneberg said: "A Romney-Ryan administration will always ensure that disaster funding is there for those in need. Period."
Romney later flew to Florida, where he is slated to appear at three campaign rallies on Wednesday before moving on to other battleground states in the final days of the campaign.

The bulk of attention given to Xi3 at this year's CES was due to Valve announcing its investment in the company. This diverted the press towards the company's 7-Series and Piston development concept that might one day be released as the much-anticipated "Steam Box." Yet those were not the only products the company had to show. Xi3 also revealed the Z3RO Pro, a tiny computer that the company enthusiastically predicts will "end desktop computing as we've known it."
How tiny? Its largest dimension is its length of only 4.8 inches. The device is also 3.6 inches wide and 1.8 inches tall. That's about the same size as a large digital point-and-shoot camera and is close to being pocketable. And we thought the Chromebox was small. Size aside, this is still a desktop computer.
Xi3 has strangely decided not to name the processor inside the system. Instead the company refers to it as a dual-core 64-bit, x86-based processor running at 1.65 GHz. The Z3RO Pro also includes an integrated graphics processor with 80 graphics cores.
Based on this information, we're confident the processor is a low-power Fusion APU from AMD. That means overall performance, though adequate, will be well short of a traditional mid-tower desktop. The system also ships with 4GB of RAM and a solid-state hard drive (size options range from 16GB to 1TB). The computer will operate on about 15 watts of power.
Though small, the system includes a wide range of connectivity. It offers four eSATAp 3.0 ports (which can accept USB or eSATA connections and deliver power to connected devices), as well as HDMI, DisplayPort, and Ethernet. The only notable omission is integrated Wi-Fi.
Pricing for the Z3RO Pro starts at $399. However, there's a catch: the base system ships with openSUSE Linux, meaning Windows will be an additional charge. The company is now taking pre-orders, but availability is not expected until the second quarter of 2013.

Cubs, Villanueva bested by ex-teammate Garza
Chicago right-hander gives up five runs on 11 hits in five innings
MILWAUKEE -- Matt Garza apparently learned more about the Cubs in his 2 1/2 seasons there than they did about him.
Garza scattered four hits over seven innings, while Carlos Gomez and Ryan Braun had three hits apiece, and Lyle Overbay belted a solo homer to lead the Brewers to a 5-2 victory Friday over the Cubs.
Carlos Villanueva took the loss against his former team, and said he didn't think either pitcher had an edge.
"We know Garza, we had him," Villanueva said. "Everybody knows what everybody else features. There's video, and you have to take advantage of what you know. I've faced the Brewers a bunch of times and have done well against them. Sometimes it works to your advantage.
"There are some things that could've gone either way," he said. "They just went the other way on me. It's not an easy thing to go through. I want to help. I want to help and do the best I can here. If I'm not giving the boys the best chance to win, it's frustrating."
This was Garza's first career start against his former team, which he played for from 2011 to July 2013 when he was dealt to the Rangers. Three of the four players acquired in the deal -- Mike Olt, Justin Grimm and Neil Ramirez -- are on the Cubs' 25-man roster and the fourth, C.J. Edwards, is ranked fourth among the team's top prospects.
Who had the edge?
"You'd be surprised -- sometimes when you have a guy on the same team and you think you know exactly what they're about until you face them, and then you realize you really didn't have as good an idea as you thought you did," Chicago manager Rick Renteria said.
How frustrating was it? Chicago's Junior Lake, who had a tough night defensively, struck out to open the fifth and he broke his bat over his knee. It was one of seven K's for Garza.
"He bores in on righties and is able to mix his secondary pitches well and keeps the ball down and doesn't rattle very easily and goes right after hitters and knows what he's doing," Renteria said of Garza. "You have to tip your hat to him a little bit. We had a tough time getting a whole lot going against him. Today just wasn't our day."
Garza said there was no extra emotion playing against the Cubs.
"I've been on five different teams, man," Garza said. "If I had to get up for everybody, I'd be tired by midseason. It was just another ballgame, just another club I've got to give my team a chance to win [against]."
Villanueva came up through Milwaukee's system, and pitched for the team from 2006-10. He had a tough task against the red-hot Brewers, who collected 11 hits over five innings off the right-hander.
"This is a club right now that has a couple guys swinging the bat very well," Renteria said of Milwaukee, which leads the National League Central and the Majors with a 17-6 record. "They're very aggressive on the bases, and they're going to play the little game, and we need to make sure we're on top of everything and moving forward."
Villanueva didn't get much help defensively in the first. Gomez singled to lead off and stole second before scoring on Scooter Gennett's double to left that bounced past Lake.
"[Lake] knows, and he feels it was a ball he should've caught," Renteria said of Gennett's double. "He didn't, he missed it, and the rest is history, as they say."
Braun followed with an RBI single that Lake fielded and threw home over catcher Welington Castillo. Villanueva, backing up behind home plate, tried to get Braun at second but instead threw the ball into center field.
Lake apologized to Villanueva for the mistakes.
"He came up to me between innings and said 'my bad.' It's not 'my bad,'" Villanueva said. "I know he's not trying to make a mistake. You can see he cares, you see the frustration in him. If he didn't care, he'd be getting a different kind of chat from me.
"You can't be selfish, you can't throw your arms up in the air, you can't show anybody up," Villanueva said. "You have to show your teammates you're behind them. It doesn't matter what the uniform says on the back. We're here to support each other. Whoever is struggling, we have to rally around them."
And that kind of attitude will help the young Cubs.
"We have to have each other's backs," Villanueva said. "When somebody forgets, as long as I'm here, I'll keep reminding them."
Emilio Bonifacio hit an RBI single with two outs in the third, and the Cubs also tallied in the seventh on Ryan Sweeney's groundout.
Gomez singled to open the Milwaukee third and advanced one out later on Braun's single, although Braun was initially called out after a strong throw from shortstop Starlin Castro. After a 2 minute and 20 second review, he was ruled safe. One out later, Jonathan Lucroy hit an RBI single to go ahead, 3-1.
Overbay ended a 10-pitch at-bat against Villanueva in the fourth with his first home run, a laser to right, to open a 4-1 lead. Aramis Ramirez added a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
"These are things happen, and you've got to continue to make pitches," Villanueva said of the first inning. "It feels that when things aren't going well, they happen in bunches, and you have to bear down and make pitches. My last couple starts have been checked swings here, infield hits there. It happens, and I've seen other guys go through it.
"Obviously, my pitch count is getting high early," he said. "I wouldn't say I'm getting fatigued, but [my pitches] flatten out a little at the end. I've got to make my pitches."
And get a little help from his teammates.

Man Beats His Girlfriend's 2-Year-Old Son To Death For Not Eating His Dinner!
"- Phoenix police are searching for a suspect in the death of a 2-year-old boy. Authorities say Juan Garcia beat his girlfriend's son to death Friday night, but by the time the girlfriend called for help, Garcia was long gone. According to police, Garcia has ties to gang members in the valley and they're hoping someone he knows will turn him in after what they say he did to the boy. Jorge Zamora spent his last moments struggling for breath inside a Maryvale home. His mother, Wendy Pagasa beside him, listening to him gasp for air. Police say she didn't call 911 for three hours -- until his heart stopped beating. "This is absolutely unbelievable," said Phoenix Police Sgt. Trent Crump. Police say Pagasa's live-in boyfriend, Garcia, beat little Jorge to death." - Phoenix News

Bright and bold fonts contrast with dark backgrounds and hand painted illustrations of the film's stars make posters from this time period a favorite for many horror nerds. In "Murders in the Zoo," Lionel Atwill stars as Eric Gorman, a wealthy and jealous zookeeper who catches his wife cheating on him. He will stop at nothing to keep her all to himself, even if that means having his zoo animals kill for him. Despite being almost 80 years old, the movie has no problem being horrific and gruesome and still holds up pretty well today.

I had a visitor in town a few weeks ago and we decided to head to the Art Science Museum. It's such a lovely piece of architecture and having it situated right on Marina Bay makes it's hard to resist.
Currently there are two free exhibits on display, Hermes Leather Forever (until December 13) and The Nobel Prize: Ideas Changing the World (until January 2016). We decided to check these two exhibits out and pay to see the Collider exhibit if we had time and energy afterward (spoiler alert: we did not.)
Unfortunately, I think we should have skipped the free exhibits and forked out the money for the Collider instead. Or better yet, made it to one of the ArtScience Late sessions where the museum is open for free in the evening.
I wasn't all that impressed with the Nobel Prize exhibit and the Hermes exhibit felt like an overt advertisement. It's not like I didn't learn anything though- I got some historical perspective on the Nobel Prize and learned a bit about the beginnings of the Hermes brand. Did you know they got their start with horse riding?
We met Shanna for a drink at Overeasy on Collyer Quay after the museum session. She was surprised to hear that I was less than impressed with Hermes Leather Forever, but then again she attended a Champagne premier of the exhibit. Looking at luxury goods you can't afford is always better with a glass of Champagne in hand.
One thing I can say is that the Hermes exhibit was artfully crafted. But you wouldn't expect less, would you?

We love reading about human-robot interactions; how an air hockey-playing robot studies human opponents, how Data practices the art of stand-up comedy, and how robots may eventually change how we define emotions. But a big part of human-robot interaction is more about us than them. We tend to assign personalities, feelings, even motivations to robots when they perform the simplest tasks. In a new report, New York Times explores why that is.
And the answer, again, has more to do with humans than robots. "When a robot moves on its own, it exploits a fundamental social instinct that all humans have: the ability to separate things into objects (like rocks and trees) and agents (like a bug or another person)," writes BoingBoing science editor Maggie Koerth-Baker for the Times. "Its evolutionary importance seems self-evident; typically, kids can do this by the time they're a year old.
"The distinction runs deeper than knowing something is capable of movement. 'Nobody questions the motivations of a rock rolling down a hill,' says Brian Scassellati, director of Yale's social robotics lab. Agents, on the other hand, have internal states that we speculate about. The ability to distinguish between agents and objects is the basis for another important human skill that scientists call 'cognitive empathy (or 'theory of mind,' depending on whom you ask): the ability to predict what other beings are thinking, and what they want, by watching how they move."
As an example, the Times cited a 2011 study in which a "robot" was placed in a room with a human. The robot was actually just a piece of balsa wood attached to some gears, and someone controlled the contraption using a joystick outside the room. The study participants didn't know the "robot" was human controlled, and the "vast majority assumed the stick had its own goals and internal thought processes. They described the stick as bowing in greeting, searching for hidden items, even purring like a contented cat."
The study of human-robot interaction is important in military and crisis bots designed to save lives.
The study of human-robot interaction will be important in all types of robotics, but especially in military and crisis bots designed to save lives. Koerth-Baker writes about the challenge NASA JPL's Robosimian will face when it's deployed to help rescue humans in disasters. Or maybe the challenge won't be for the robot, but for the EMTs and crisis personnel who have to use the robots. Should they become attached, or look at the robots as nothing but tools? Will they be able to stay completely detached, even if they want to?
Empathy might show up whether they want it or not. A recent study by Julie Carpenter, who did her dissertation on ordinance disposal bots, found that soldiers get attached to the mine disposal robots they use on the battlefield"
"Soldiers told Carpenter their first reaction to a robot being blown up was anger at losing an expensive piece of equipment, but some also described a feeling of loss.
" 'They would say they were angry when a robot became disabled because it is an important tool, but then they would add 'poor little guy,' or they'd say they had a funeral for it,' Carpenter said. 'These robots are critical tools they maintain, rely on, and use daily. They are also tools that happen to move around and act as a stand-in for a team member, keeping Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel at a safer distance from harm.' "

Recently, I was trying to create PDF files of barcodes. I was using barby gem for generating barcodes. When I tried to write the generated PDF, I found that the PDF string was in ASCII-8BIT encoding while my console was in UTF-8 which was causing Ruby to attempt writing in UTF-8 encoding causing errors. So, to write to the file in ASCII-8BIT, I had to specify that while opening the file. I achieved that using the following and I could write to the file correctly.
f = File.open("test.pdf", "w:ASCII-8BIT")

A pilot is being hailed as a hero after he managed to safely land an Airbus A319 when the windshield blew out about 30 minutes after takeoff. The plane was cruising at 32,000 feet when the pilot, Liu Chuanjian, says that "the windshield just cracked and made a loud bang." He explained that he looked over and saw his "co-pilot had been sucked halfway out of the window."
When the windshield shattered the temperature in cockpit dropped to 40 degrees below zero and the cabin depressurized, causing the equipment to start floating in the air. Chuanjian said that most of the instruments stopped working and that the "plane was shaking so hard I could not read the gauges."
He pulled his co-pilot back into the plane and managed to get his bearings before making an emergency landing in Chengdu without the help of any of the automated equipment.
The co-pilot, Xu Ruichen, suffered minor injuries and is currently hospitalized in Chengdu. No passengers were injured but they were left shaken by the terrifying experience.
One passenger said the "oxygen masks dropped" and everyone onboard "experienced a few seconds of free fall."
"The crew were serving us breakfast when the aircraft began to shake. We didn't know what was going on and we panicked. Then the oxygen masks dropped... We experienced a few seconds of free fall before it stabilized again," an unnamed passenger told the government-run China News Service.

Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street
By Michael Davis
Viking Books, 2009, $27.95 U.S., $31.00 Canada
Erin Roll (MuppetNewsgirl on Muppet Central Forum) - Is it really possible to do a "complete" history of Sesame Street in just one book? It would seem that there's enough cast and crew bios, character information, trivia and taping dates to fill a set of encyclopedias.
That being said Davis gives it his best shot with Street Gang, a thorough, funny, poignant and candid look at the lives of the people who brought Sesame Street to life.
Sometimes, the book gets bogged down a little bit in background on politics and culture's effects on the show, but Davis manages to keep it all connected to the show, more or less.
The reader gets a look at the early days of children's television, a genre that was denounced by FCC heads in the early 1960s as "massive doses of cartoons, violence and more violence."
The book begins with the story of four-year-old Sarah Morrissett, whose parents observed that she was obsessed with the test pattern on the family's television. It was a fact that didn't go unnoticed by a family friend, Joan Ganz Cooney.
Later, Jim Henson comes into the story, and the first seeds for the show are planted.
Around Chapter 14, the book finally gets to Sesame Street itself. From this point on, we are introduced to more cast members, like Emilio Delgado, Sonia Manzano and Northern Calloway, and puppeteers like Jerry Nelson, Richard Hunt, Marty Robinson and Kevin Clash.
Davis makes sure to devote some ink to Elmo's rise to stardom, depicting Richard Hunt as walking into the green room carrying Elmo "upside down by his rod, as if he were carrying a dead buzzard by his claw (286)" and pitching the puppet in Clash's direction.
There are some nice sections on the creation and evolution of key characters like Big Bird, Oscar the Grouch (he was originally orange), Ernie and Bert and Snuffy.
Chapter 18 is one of the more difficult chapters to read, as it deals with upheavals in the show's dynamics and format, as well as the deaths of several key players. Plus, around this time, Sesame Street starts to see a rival, in the form of a certain overly sappy purple dinosaur called Barney.
In this chapter we see quite a bit of Calloway's decline, slow burn and death, written in almost graphic detail. A good bit of space is dedicated to Jim and Jane Henson's separation in the late 1980s, often in not a flattering light, and there is one poignant scene of Richard Hunt telling his sister about his illness for the first time while driving through a nighttime rainstorm.
The book ends mostly on an optimistic note, looking toward the show's future. In some spots, Davis delivers too many details or not enough details in other spots, but all in all, "Street Gang" is a must-read for die-hard Sesame fans and casual viewers alike.

I see Big Mike's many times on the weekend when I'm driving home from working weekend events. I always pass it at 1 a.m. after the weddings I'm working and think "I wonder what the place is like?" This past weekend, hubs and I were gearing up to go run a few errands, but our stomachs reminded us food is good. And usually, food comes first. We have these diner cards and saw Big Mike's was in the pack, so we agreed to give it a go.
The outside doesn't seem very inviting or anything special. Big Mike's is located in a strip mall adorned with wooden boards on the exterior on College near 96th Street. It looks slightly run down and unwelcoming, with a few tables outside that were not prepped for the nice weather (I clearly do NOT hold this against them though – this weather is odd!) Upon walking in, we were slightly confused on what to do as it seems like you would order at the counter and then grab a seat. Instead the server/host present greeted us warmly from behind the cash register and enthusiastically ushered us to a seat. At noon, the restaurant was empty which explained his enthusiasm. We grabbed a corner booth and took in the atmosphere. It is quite plain inside, full of tables and booths for guests. As mentioned, when you walk in there is a counter straight ahead across the room. One can't help but walk towards it, so I wonder how the flow is when the restaurant is busy. Nothing special in the decor, so I was hoping that the food would help the mood.
We began with an order of garlic knots. Nothing beats bread dipped in delicious garlic butter. These knots were delivered quickly (which was good – we were the only ones there after all) and were piping hot. At first, I thought they were straight up fried. But, after a few bites I came to the conclusion that they could have been partially baked and then finished in the fryer. They were extremely tender and perfectly cooked on the inside, but had a slightly crisp exterior giving them that crunch. They were swimming in butter and covered in Parmesan cheese, It may have been the bottle shaker cheese and didn't add too much. But don't let that lead you to believe I didn't like this, cause I did. They were good, but very rarely do I think bread is bad, especially when baked/fried and dipped in a side of ranch or nacho sauce. They were slightly greasy, a little messy, but that is what happens when you fry your lunch. We opted to add on a side of ranch and nacho cheese, though marinara does come with the knots.
For our meals, hubs ordered the Chicago sandwich. From where I was sitting, it looked quite messy with a huge portion of roast beef, sausage and mozzarella. Hubs comment on the sandwich was 'it's okay.' The sandwich looked good so I had to grab a bite. But he was right, there really wasn't anything spectacular about the sandwich. The bread was great, but the bite that I had was pretty much all Italian rope sausage. The sausage was part of the upgraded 'Minchman' combo consisting of the addition of Italian rope sausage and mozzarella. Was the extra dollar for the upgrade worth it? He shrugged his shoulders and I nodded in agreement – not really. He did eat all the fries – average, but they were hot and crispy.
I decided to try the tenderloin which is given 5 stars by the Tenderloin Connoisseur. Clearly the tenderloin was hand pounded and breaded – no frozen tenderloin here. The meat was tender and flavorful, the breading slightly salty from being fried and crispy all around. I really enjoyed the pork flavor, clean and not muddles with the fried outer shell as it only complimented each bite. I heard about the pretzel roll and was anxious to see it for myself. I was little taken back as the pretzel roll as maybe 1/3 of the size of the tenderloin, though I did enjoy the pretzel bun versus a regular bun. It seemed fresh as it was soft with a slight crunch on the exterior. It was slightly sweet too like a pretzel normally would be. Only set back is that the pretzel roll made it that much more filling. A little too carby for me and I (at times) had trouble concentrating on the tenderloins flavor. I was surprised that the flavor combination worked though and would easily order it again as my tummy was quite full with leftover tenderloin on the plate.
As mentioned, we had one of dining cards with us so we had to spend $30 for the meal to receive $10 off. I would have normally boycotted spending $3 on a side of ranch and nacho sauce ($1.50 a piece), but knowing that we needed to spend all $30 prior to tax/tip, we were okay with it. Our sodas and sandwiches on top of that got us to $30.75 before tax and gratuity. It seemed a bit more expensive than what I expected. But the breakfast buffet (which we obviously didn't get) seemed like quite a deal if you were hungry. Our server, who stayed enthusiastic (maybe too much) the whole time, explained the breakfast well. You are given a list of potentials to order, and they cook it as ordered, as much as you want. So if you are hungry and looking for a buffet with a to-order twist, I would say give Big Mike's a try.
Anyone else been? What were your thoughts on the atmosphere and food? I'd definitely give it a go again, though I do wish the outdoor seating would be ramped up just a bit. I'm a sucker for al fresco after all.

In early 1860, pundits across America confidently predicted the election of Illinois senator Stephen A. Douglas in the coming presidential race. Douglas, after all, led the only party that bridged North and South. But the Democrats would split over the issue ofslavery, leading Southerners in the party to run their own presidential slate. This opened the door for the upstart Republicans, exclusively Northern, to steal the Oval Office. Dark horse Abraham Lincoln, not the first choice even of his own party, won the presidency with a record-low 39.8 percent of the popular vote.
Acclaimed scholar Douglas R. Egerton chronicles the contest with a historian's keen insight and a veteran political reporter's eye for detail. Vividly, Egerton re-creates the cascade of unforeseen events that confounded political bosses, set North and South on the road to disunion, and put not Stephen Douglas, but his greatest rival, in the White House.
We see Lincoln and his team outmaneuvering more prominent Republicans, like New York's grandiose William Seward, while Democratic conventions collapse in confusion. And we see the gifted, flawed Douglas marking his finest hour in defeat, as he strives, and fails, to save the Union. Year of Meteors delivers a teeming cast of characters, minor and major, and a breakneck narrative of this most momentous year in American history.

Been a rough couple of weeks for BYU football.
Until a couple of Fridays ago, we still had hopes of an undefeated, College Football Playoff crashing, Heisman contending season.
Now we're sitting at 4-2, with a bleak outlook on football, life, love, the world in general. And before I get into some of my thoughts, I want to point out that (in case it wasn't obvious) some key injuries have played a big part in this sudden and unfortunate derailment.
One of the most common themes I always hear when BYU loses is …

BYU football is flying high right now.
The Cougars are 3-0 for the first time since 2008; they are getting a ton of national media attention, and they have moved up to Nos. 21 and 23 respectively in the latest major polls.
One thing that would make things even sweeter is for them to get redemption for last season's debacle at Virginia by knocking off the Cavaliers in LaVell Edwards Stadium this Saturday.

Houston quarterback John O'Korn was a mere babe when he nearly led his team to victory against BYU last season at Reliant Stadium.
The true freshman showed poise beyond his years, coming up just short in a wild, 47-46 decision deep in the heart of Texas.
O'Korn completed 29 of his 45 pass attempts for 363 yards and three touchdowns. He effectively used his feet to avoid the rush, to extend plays and find the open man, often giving the injury-plagued BYU secondary fits.
Luckily for the Cougars in blue, it was their …

Its 41-7 whipping of the Texas Longhorns Saturday night was big for the BYU football program on many levels.
It sends the message once again that the Cougars would be a fine addition to the Big 12, or any of the so-called P-5 conferences.
After all, BYU is now 6-1 all time against Big 12 bluebloods Texas and Oklahoma and have outscored them by a combined 211-87 in those seven games.
The Cougars are a combined 3-1 against the Longhorns and Sooners since 2009.
The win also lifted the BYU into the AP Top …

Folks down in Austin–and throughout the Lone Star State–have been waiting for this Saturday for a year now.
Actually, 364 days to be exact.
The Texas Longhorns will have payback on their minds when BYU takes the field at Memorial Stadium for a rematch of last season's game that was dominated by the Cougars 40-21.
Fans of both schools well remember the record 550 rushing yards that the BYU offense rolled up that night on a hapless UT defense. It was the kind of night that causes heads to roll for the loser.

Nothing speaks to the futility of the play of BYU's offensive line over the past couple of years as does the depth chart the team released on Monday.
When the Cougars take their first snap against UConn this Friday to open the 2014 season, they may be starting two true freshman in Ului Lapuaho (6-7, 333 Fr.) and Tejan Koroma (6-0, 280 Fr.).

Newtown Creek Armada, Coastal Clean-up, Capital to Capital Canoe Expedition: What's New at Newtown Creek?
There's a whole sludge of events at Greenpoint's very own Superfund site, Newtown Creek.
State of the Planet, a blog from the Earth Institute at Columbia University, is reporting that the city effort to clean up the polluted waterway is having an unintended effect.
According to a new study the clean up process is releasing sewage bacteria and other particles into the air above the site. The study is one of the first to establish a link between water pollution and air-quality, raising new questions about the health risks posed by dirty water.
Newtown Creek is already a source of combined sewage run-off, and could become even worse due to rising sea levels due from climate change. The New York Times ran an article highlighting the seriousness of the issue this Monday.
Don't jump off the Pulaski Bridge just yet, Greenpointers. The news at Newtown Creek is not all bad. Here are just a few of the many upcoming community events looking to make the most of revitalizing our waterfront. Continue reading

Calif. farmworker gets $1M for mangled arm
A Central California farmworker whose arm was mangled in a watermelon harvesting machine is getting a $1 million settlement.
A watermelon was stuck in the machine in September 2009 when 57-year-old Robert Ramirez Lopez tried to dislodge it and his left arm was crushed.
Lopez was working for farm labor contractor VMJ Professional Services at a facility owned by Double D Farms northeast of Coalinga.
The Fresno Bee ( https://bit.ly/11kkIy2 ) says the case went before a mediator and it was settled two weeks before the start of trial. Three companies are contributing to the settlement.

Network coding is an innovative new approach to network design that promises much more efficient use of bandwidth, and MIT researchers have made seminal contributions to its development. But in recent work, some of those researchers have concentrated on a different application of the same technology: secure communication. Media companies have shown interest in the new work as a means of simultaneously protecting their content and their customers' privacy.
In an ordinary network, such as the Internet or the cellular network, packets of data are relayed from source to destination by a series of special-purpose devices called routers. The routers read the destinations of the packets but leave them otherwise undisturbed. With network coding, however, the contents of different packets are mixed together. Given enough information about how the mixing was done, a computer at the receiving end can separate the data back out again. Because each hybrid packet in some sense represents the contents of more than one regular packet, the method can end up saving bandwidth. In experiments conducted at MIT, network coding was able to consistently increase the data capacity of a wireless network to about three times what it was initially.
Until the hybrid packets are decoded, however, they're total gibberish, and without some basic information about how they were produced, decoding them is next to impossible. So while network coding offers a more efficient use of bandwidth, it also offers an efficient means of securing information.
In a pair of papers published by the IEEE last year, Muriel Médard, a professor in MIT's Research Laboratory of Electronics, members of João Barros's group at Portugal's University of Porto and researchers at the Spanish telecom company Telefónica set out the theoretical basis for a system that would use network coding for secure communications. NBC expressed interest in the technology as a way to protect content disseminated over the Internet, and in March, Médard; Marie-José Montpetit, a research scientist at RLE; Frank Fitzek, an associate professor of engineering at Denmark's University of Aalborg; and students from both groups went to New York City to demonstrate the technology at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.
The virtual living room
The demo was meant to illustrate the application of network coding to what has recently been called social TV. With the proliferation of smart phones and tablet computers with high-resolution screens, people are increasingly streaming television programs over the Internet. At the same time, friends watching conventional television programming in different places are texting and instant-messaging each other with their spontaneous reactions to events on-screen. Social TV anticipates the convergence of these two trends, as friends coordinate times to watch the same streaming video on different types of devices, in different locations, while exchanging commentary.
So conceived, social TV poses a number of technical challenges. One is the allocation of bandwidth, as AT&T discovered when the popularity of streaming video on the original iPhone threatened to overwhelm its network. Another is the synchronization of video streaming to different devices. And a third is the protection of both providers' content and the privacy of consumers' comments. Médard and Montpetit believe that network coding can help with all three.
In the demo at NBC, a small group of people watched the same streaming video on handheld devices. Only one of the devices, however, was connected to the cellular network. It broadcast hybrid data packets to the other devices, which in turn mixed them together and passed them along. So network coding reduced the burden on the cell network. And since all the devices were broadcasting data to each other, and the researchers' algorithms were able to descramble coded packets so efficiently that the synchronization between the devices was nearly perfect.
Security as service
To demonstrate the use of network coding for secure communication, the demo simulated a case in which most of the users were authorized subscribers to NBC content but a couple were not. The unauthorized devices still participated in the coding, hybridizing packets and broadcasting them to their neighbors. But because they weren't initially given the information essential to decoding the packets, they wouldn't have been able to pirate the content. If the unauthorized users agreed to watch a short advertisement video, however, the decoding keys were delivered to their devices.
Although secure messaging between devices was not a feature of the demo, Médard and Montpetit say that it would use the same technology that content protection does and that they and Fitzek have begun to add it to their system. "The idea is that secure communication becomes another network service," Montpetit explains. The security of transmissions is an intrinsic feature of the way data packets are hybridized and disseminated. Controlling access is simply a matter of sending users the keys that unlock the data they're authorized to read.
Sheau Ng, the head of technology R&D at NBCUniversal, says that the technology the researchers demonstrated could have applications in cases in which, for example, several family members in a single location were using separate devices to teleconference simultaneously with a distant relative. But, he says, "That's not as interesting a scenario as the one where users are in entirely different parts of the physical world." He believes, however, that network coding is applicable in that case as well. "It's a multiyear project, and we are just now in the first stages of it," he says. "We're quite excited about seeing what the team can come up with."
Montpetit concurs. "Stay tuned," she says.

Jocketty: Search for new manager to begin soon
Reds' in-house candidates include pitching coach Price, Louisville skipper Riggleman
CINCINNATI -- With the decision made to dismiss Dusty Baker after six years as manager, the Reds hope to move quickly to find his replacement.
The search will be led by general manager Walt Jocketty, with the final decision ultimately being made by chief executive officer Bob Castellini.
"We'll probably start assembling the list next week," Jocketty said. "I'd like to try and get it over with sooner than later. I'm sure we will be very thorough and put the right list together and hire the right person."
Two immediate candidates are already within the organization, in pitching coach Bryan Price and former big league skipper Jim Riggleman, who managed this season at Triple-A Louisville.
"They'll be on the list to talk to," Jocketty confirmed.
Price, 51, joined the Reds after the 2009 season to replace dismissed pitching coach Dick Pole.
The Reds' pitching staff had the fourth-best ERA in the Major Leagues this season and the most strikeouts in the National League. Price has also earned the respect of his pitchers for his work ethic, holding people accountable and an ability to relate to everyone.
"His reputation precedes him," said Reds starter Bronson Arroyo, who will be a free agent this winter. "I think he'd do a hell of a job. He's as organized and punctual as anybody I've ever seen in this game."
For the previous 10 seasons, Price was the pitching coach for the Mariners, first under Lou Piniella and then under Bob Melvin. He also was on Melvin's staff for the D-backs from 2006-09, but he resigned in May 2009 to remain loyal to his manager after Melvin was dismissed.
Riggleman, 60, completed his second year in the Reds' organization, and first managing at Louisville. In 2012, he was the skipper at Double-A Pensacola, a second chance given to him by Jocketty after Riggleman had a tumultuous exit from the Major League level.
In the midst of the 2011 season with the Nationals, Riggleman abruptly resigned in a contract dispute.
In 12 seasons with the Padres, Cubs, Mariners and Nationals, Riggleman had a 662-824 record.
Until leaving to be the Cubs third-base coach last year under Dale Sveum, David Bell was a rising star in the Reds organization and preceded Riggleman as Louisville's manager. With Sveum having been relieved of his duties earlier this week, Bell is also available.
Outside the organization, any potential candidate list could be lengthy. One person who it doesn't include is someone with ties to Jocketty and Castellini -- Tony La Russa, who turned 69 years old on Friday.
"Tony, probably not, because I don't think he wants to manage anymore," Jocketty said.
Cardinals longtime third-base coach Jose Oquendo is often mentioned as a potential future manager. Oquendo was passed over when St. Louis hired Mike Matheny two years ago to replace the retired La Russa. Jocketty is the former GM of the Cardinals, and Castellini previously had a minority ownership stake.
"Oquendo, I can't say right now. I can't comment on him because he's under contract," Jocketty said.
Former Major League catcher Brad Ausmus was a runner-up for the Red Sox job a year ago that went to John Farrell. Ausmus is currently a special assistant to the GM for the Padres. San Diego's assistant GM, A.J. Hinch, a former skipper in Arizona, is also looking to manage again. Other Major League coaches who are often in the mix for managerial openings include Dave Martinez from the Rays, Torey Lovullo of the Red Sox, Tim Wallach from the Dodgers and Lloyd McClendon of the Tigers. McClendon, a former Pirates manager, once played for the Reds.
Jocketty hasn't specified the type of manager he is looking for.
"I think that's something we'll formulate," he said. "I will meet with my staff and Bob and put together a criteria for what the next manager should be like and the qualities we're looking for. Obviously, we're looking for somebody to lead this group, a talented group. I don't want to get into specifics now. It wouldn't be proper."

Motorcycle owners who wish to secure the ICC/PS Stickers for their old/already purchased helmet may visit the DTI office in Central Visayas with the following requirements:
- Helmet should be in good condition–no cracks and breaks and has chin strap
- Helmet should not be more than 5 years old
- The Helmet should show a brand in it and the brand must be in the approved list
- Photocopy of Identification Card
- P100 for the processing fee and P1.25 for the sticker fee
The prescription to wear the standard motorcycle helmet shall be strictly enforced effective August 1, 2012 as mandated by the Motorcycle Helmet Act (RA10054).
DTI Usec Zenaida Maglaya said yesterday (Jan. 3, 2013) that enforcers will honor helmets bearing stickers of the US Department of Transportation (DOT) and the European Economic Community (EEC) even without the ICC/BPS sticker.
Maglaya said they will instruct enforcers to honor the helmets with DOT and EEC stickers since these are presumed compliant to the safety standards.
Several motorcycle owners who owned an imported helmet without the ICC/BPS stickers lamented why the brand of their helmets are not in the list even if it passed the standards in the U.S. and in Europe while there are cheaper helmets from China that are included in the list.
Maglaya made a clarification yesterday during a media interview.
