There is a long history of controversy in ecology over the role of competition in determining patterns of distribution and abundance, and over the significance of the mathematical modeling of competitive interactions. This paper examines the controversy. Three kinds of considerations have been involved at one time or another during the history of this debate. There has been dispute about the kinds of regularities ecologists can expect to find, about the significance of evolutionary considerations for ecological inquiry, and about the empirical credentials of theoretical studies of competition. Each of these elements is examined with an eye toward gaining philosophical clarification of the issues involved. In the process, certain shortcomings of contemporary philosophical theories are revealed. In particular, I argue that plausibility arguments based on background considerations are an important part of the model building tradition, but that current accounts of the structure and evaluation of scientific theories do little to illuminate this side of theoretical ecology.

Congratulations to whoever wrote and submitted this page! Good idea.
I'd like to offer a comment and a suggestion:
In the "Architectural Features" section, under "Quick Facts," I found it confusing, initially, when my eye was drawn to the link for "Victorian Gothic" architecture. It took about 3 re-reads before I realized that no-one was trying to describe the current library's style as Victorian Gothic! I'm not sure how the confusion could be minimized -- maybe by changing the formatting of "Original building" to make it more prominent? The problem was that my eye skipped right over that line and went directly from "Architectural Features" to the link.
The suggestion/request is that someone add information about the fate of the original building. I believe it was torn down, but I'm actually not sure. And a photo of it, if one is available, would be a nice addition as well.
Thanks for your work!

I agree with Aortasprondle re architecture and the suggestion of "old" vs "new" bldgs. Also I think something needs to be added re governance. Is the Board of Library Trustees the ultimate authority in terms of the library or is the Library simply another department of the City of Newton? To whom is the Library Director ultimately responsible? Or, should a conflict exist between City policy and procedure and the Library, which authority prevails? In other words, is the Newton Free Library quasi-independent of the Mayor's office, or is it like any other city of Newton Department?
Thanks for the feedback! I changed the order of the original building and current building in hope to clarify the "Architectural Features." We are slowly working on this page as a collabortative effort by staff and we are looking to post more pictures, references and current facts about the library. Keep posted and the clarification on the governance and what happened to the orginal building will come soon! Thanks again! --Franklin4 03:13, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Please note that the governance of the library has been added at the end of the history area. In regards to the details of governance the library's ultimate authority is its board but they are appointed by the mayor for five year staggered terms. Section 16-3 of the City of Newton Ordinances state: The superintendent [the director] under the direction and control of the board of trustees of the Newton Free Library shall have charge of the library. --Franklin4 01:56, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Closing of Branch Libraries[edit]
The text seems to indicate that all branches except for four were closed in 1991. The West Newton Branch was closed long before that. clariosophic 02:46, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Clariosophic, do you know date of West Newton Branch closing?
The history written here of the Newton Free Library was interesting, but I would like to see more details. In 2007, Franklin4 wrote more photos were to be added. AS of this date in July 2008, the pictures and history of the original library from Newton Corner and other pictures appears to not have been posted as of yet.
Franklin4 wrote the Library was to be overseen by the "Trustees of the Library." I believe there may be interpretation of the MGL's here.
The Trustees of the Library have a handbook and fall under theState Board of Library Commissioners as well as the State board of Ethics and need to abide to regulations as our "Public Servants." They are not separate bodies, they represent those of us in the public. Their mission is to make sure the Newton Free Library is accessible to the public, and are accountable to complaints of the Director and related responsibilities. In Newton, the current Mayor (Mayor Cohen) has appointed each of these members to the board.
Another point to request clarification. In September 3, 2003, the Mayor appointed Leonard Goldberg and other Trustees of the Library to terms ending on June 30th 2006. This would not be a "staggered five year term" but rather a three year term (or actually, a two year, 9 month term. So it appears there are facts here to question about who is overseeing the library for the public.
I would like to see a history of each of the branch libraries. I would like to see information on the Friends of the Library, and their involvement with each of the branch libraries over the years. I would like to see the "deed" from 1876 for the Newton Free Library, with its statement of this gift was given to the City of Newton so as to forever remain as a library. I would like to see any documents which justify the closing of the main library in 1991, and selling it to a private company. It appears the entire essence of deeds to protect this land for posterity may have been violated at this time.
I would like to see the dates when each of the other 10 branch libraries were closed. I would like to see statistics of any other city with 84,000 people able to provide books and services for their city by closing all of their branch libraries. It appears Newton was one of the only cities in the Commonwealth with so many branch libraries built in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The facts shows this differs from other communities with no branch libraries to start with, and needing to build new branches. I would like to see statistics that show the number of patrons with cars, and those without transportation, able to get on the one and only bus (MBTA Bus 59) traveling to Homer Street in Newton Centre. This bus does not travel after 7:55pm weekdays, making it impossible for patrons to attend evening events at the main library. The access for people with disabilities, elders and children unable to drive, appears to now have been eliminated.

- I don't know the exact date the West Newton Branch closed, but I do know that it was closed on my last visit to Massachusetts which was in October 1985. I was very disappointed because in 1945 when I was 5 years old, it was the very first library I ever visited. I was able to print my name which was the only thing I needed to do to get my own library card. Whether my parents or an older brother took me or whether Miss Monroe, my kindergarten teacher, walked her class the few blocks down Chestnut Street from the old Peirce School I can't remember. I do know that, while I grew up in a home full of books, this visit to the children's library in the basement of the West Newton Branch was my first contact with the world of libraries and I was hooked. I remember the solemn quiet and dignity of the place where people only spoke in hushed voices. One set of books that I particularly remember was the orange covered Bobbs Merrill set of biographies of famous people for young readers. I'm sure I read every single one they had. It's a real shame that Newton now has no more branch libraries. The Florida county I live in now has only 20,000 more people than Newton (100,000 to 80,000) but it has one big main library with 5 branches, so that each population center in the county has its own local library. clariosophic (talk) 19:41, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Clarisophic,this is very interesting. What a great memory you have of the West Newton branch library. I recently spoke to a Newton police officer who also recounted his love for libraries grew since he was a child at the library. We have blogs presently at the Garden City website to save our branch libraries. Might you be interested in visiting?
I had queries for the Newton Free Library staff or editors regarding the Trustees of the Board of the Library. The original posting had 5 staggered terms, under Chapter 16th. In peruse of this information, it was found that the maximum terms can be 5 staggered years for each Trustee with a maximum of two terms. There is a clause to allow for the temporary staying on a person once their term has expired, to replace another Trustee. I was wondering if it was practice or protocol for this "temporary" term to last 3 years, after their term expired? Each appointed trustee may also be appointed by the city mayor to serve 2 years or 3 years. For two terms, then the opportunity exists for terms to last a total of 4 years. Chapter 16 also requires for a President of the Board of Trustees be re-appointed on an "annual" basis. It also requires for their to be a secretary re-appointed on an annual basis. This by Chapter 16, seems to be included so as to provide an ongoing turnover of Trustees, possibly for fresh ideas. In practice, this is not done. The current President, Audrey Cooper, has reportedly been on for 5 years. Her term expired June 8th. Other Trustees, such as Sandra Butzel, reportedly had her 2nd term expire June 2005 although she is listed as a current active Trustee on the Newton Free Library website, and still attending meetings. I would be interested to learn if this was an oversight or other practice,and reasons associated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 21:46, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
This was posted on the Flickr website about the Newton Free Library. It states that it is one of the top 5 libraries in the US. I visited the American Public Library Ratings website, and saw it was not listed in 2006 statistics. The 2007 have not come out and there was no 2005. So I am curious how Newton Free Library is the top 5th and where this is presented?
"The Newton Free Library, dedicated in 1870, is a large public library with 4 branches in Newton, Massachusetts, which provides an extensive collection of print, non-print and electronic resources, WiFi, comprehensive reference service and a wide array of educational and cultural programs for people of all ages. We have been recognized as one of the top 5 libraries in the U.S. within its population range category by Hennen's American Public Library Ratings." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 15:11, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Lord Mayor of Birmingham - Councillor Carl Rice
Councillor Carl Rice was born in 1956 in a Council House in Madresfield – a small village close to Malvern in Worcestershire. He is the only son of Bill and Agnes and has three older sisters – Jennifer, Pauline and Sarah. The family moved to Kidderminster in 1962 when Carl was 5 years old – to a house built by his bricklayer father.
Carl left school aged 16 in 1972 and followed his sisters in attending Kidderminster College where he gained two A levels – both in Government & Politics. He started work with British Rail at Kidderminster Station in 1974 before moving to the Birmingham Divisional office in 1975.
In 1978 Carl went to night school at Matthew Boulton College to gain an additional A level in History and left British Rail in 1979 to attend Coventry Polytechnic. It was at this time that he moved to Birmingham to live in York Road, Edgbaston.
After graduating with a degree in Modern Studies (politics & history) he spent a year volunteering before doing a postgraduate degree at Warwick University. He graduated with an MA in Industrial Relations in 1984 and spent a few months running the newly opened photography galley at the Triangle Arts Centre at Aston University. It was during his time at Warwick University that he married Deed Curry whom he had met in 1978. Carl & Deed have two children – Joseph & Julia.
He began work with the West Midlands Low Pay Unit in 1985 becoming its Director in 1988. Carl quickly established himself as a regular contributor to the local media as a spokesperson on employment and poverty related issues. He joined Walsall Citizens Advice Bureau in 1996 as Chief Executive and will complete 20 years' service when his term of office as Lord Mayor begins.
Carl joined the Labour Party in 1981 and was elected Councillor for Ladywood Ward in May 1987. He has held many roles in his 29 years as a Councillor – most notably Chair of Leisure Services, Ladywood District Committee, Thinktank & the main Overview & Scrutiny Committee.
During his year as Lord Mayor, Councillor Rice hopes to highlight the work of the voluntary sector in Birmingham and wants to celebrate the role of women in making Birmingham a great City. Carl is excited about launching the new look Lord Mayor's Charity which seeks to create a source of funding for local voluntary agencies and community groups.
Leisure - Carl is a passionate hill walker and at the time of his appointment has climbed 211 of the 282 Munro's (mountains over 3,000 feet in height) in Scotland. He walks on average 1,000 miles each year throughout all parts of the United Kingdom. He has recently ventured farther afield – walking in the Dolomites and the French Alps.

Powering a Live Escape Game with ECF & e(fx)clipse
My talk about Powering a Live Escape Game with ECF & e(fx)clipse got selected as an early bird for the EclipseCon Europe 2016! I'm very excited about this.
Actually, this whole thing got started exactly two years ago at the EclipseCon Europe 2014. I was there to learn about new technologies in my area of work as an RCP/JavaEE engineer and I remember that I had some free time in my schedule and I stumbled over a talk by Wim Jongman How to cook an egg with the Eclipse Communication Framework and Nebula. That sounded like fun, so I went and had a look...
Congratulations, Early-Bird Speakers!
The program committee has chosen these talks for early acceptance. Thanks to everyone who submitted early; there are already lots of great proposals in the system! The final submission deadline is Monday, July 18.
- OSGi on High Speed Trains in Germany - Roland Ndaka Fru
- Adding Angular 2 to Your Java EE Stack - A Primer - Wojciech Galanciak
- Testing Eclipse Plug-ins: Lessons from the Field - Elliotte Rusty Harold
- Powering a Live Escape Game with ECF & e(fx)clipse - Christoph Keimel
- Arduino, Qt, and IoT with the Eclipse C++ IDE - Doug Schaefer

Evolutionary developmental biology often combines methods for examining morphology (e.g., scanning electron microscopy, SEM) with analyses of gene expression (e.g., RNA in situ hybridization). Due to differences in tissue preparation for SEM and gene expression analyses, the same specimen cannot be used for both sets of techniques. To aid in the understanding of morphological variation, it would be particularly useful to have a high-magnification image of the very same sample in which gene expression is subsequently analyzed. To address this need, we developed a method that couples extended depth of field (EDF) epi-illumination microscopy to in situ hybridization in a sequential format, enabling both surface microscopy and gene expression analyses to be carried out on the same specimen. We first created a digital image of inflorescence apices using epi-illumination microscopy and commercially available EDF software. We then performed RNA in situ hybridizations on photographed apices to assess the expression of two developmental genes: Knotted1 (Kn1) in Zea mays (Poaceae) and a PISTILLATA (PI) homolog in Musa basjoo (Musaceae). We demonstrate that expression signal is neither altered nor reduced in the imaged apices as compared with the unphotographed controls. The demonstrated method reduces the amount of sample material necessary for developmental research, and enables individual floral development to be placed in the context of the entire inflorescence. While the technique presented here is particularly relevant to floral developmental biology, it is applicable to any research where observation and description of external features can be fruitfully linked with analyses of gene expression.

Utah's Defense is stellar. The Offensive Line is blocking with a ton of pride. John White IV is the steady rock, and Hays is learning to manage the game. Utah has there limitations ,but they are getting the most out of themselves. What a credit to the Ute players and coaching staff. I wondered three weeks ago if Utah would pack it in. Great job Utes.

"Utah fans would love to have their team throw for 400 yards and 5
Ummmm--I don't think you know Utah fans as much as you might think you do. Utah fans would "love" to see their team win, by hook or by crook. If they have to win by having the left offensive tackle put his helmet on backwards, pick up a fumble and pirouette into the end zone--they'll take it and say, "thank you for the td and interpretive dance, young man." Utah has been decimated at QB and they are finding ways to win sans Wynn. We'll take 'em any way we can get them and if it comes by means of my favorite running back in years grabbing 167 yards in the slop? Well, that looks prettier than a Van Gogh wheat field to me.

Utah put on a show. Hit after hit by the defense showed everyone what this years
team is all about - toughness.
Our qb isnt the most talented but as tough and determined as they come. Our star rb is small, but still takes defenders into the endzone with him (when not being carried in by our tough O-line). Position after position, fresman to senior, this team is determined to win and has made big improvement since the start of the year. We can only imagine what would have been had wynn not got hurt.

DULUTH, Ga. (AP) - It was a gamble either way. All David Toms was trying to do was get better odds.
Faced with a questionable lie and 210 yards over water, Toms had an agonizing decision to make as he stood just off the 18th fairway Sunday with a one-shot lead in the PGA Championship.
He could go for it and risk hitting into the water, or the rough behind the green. His other option wasn't a lot better - lay up short of the water and take his chances of making par with a putter in his hand.
Watching from across the fairway, Phil Mickelson knew his chances of winning his first major rested on Toms' choice.
"I actually was hoping he would go for it,'' Mickelson said. "Off of that lie, I didn't see any way of the ball staying on the green.''
Toms stood, 5-wood in hand, staring at the green. Ignoring the crowd yelling "wimp'' and urging him to go for it, he put the club back in the bag.
The decision was made. It turned out to be championship caliber.
"I might still be out there playing that hole if I had gone for the green,'' Toms said. "There were too many bad things that could happen.''
Indeed, there were. Toms could have hit it on the water or been faced with trying to make par chipping from the rough behind the green with water lurking on the other side.
Instead, he pulled out a pitching wedge and laid up in front of the water, 88 yards from the pin. It was a perfect yardage for his lob wedge, which he spun within 12 feet of the pin.
After Mickelson missed his birdie try by inches, Toms settled confidently over the putt and stroked it directly into the hole.
"I said all week I wouldn't be afraid to lay up on that hole,'' Toms said. "I just felt it was the best way I could make par.''
It was the second time in two years that Mickelson lost a major championship to a layup on the 72nd hole. It happened at the 1999 U.S. Open at Pinehurst when Payne Stewart laid up out of the rough, hit it to 15 feet and made the putt to win.
The Open loss stung. This one hurt even more.
"It just seemed like it was destined to go in,'' Mickelson said. "I don't know what to say other than it's certainly disappointing.''
The high drama on the 490-yard finishing hole, the longest par-4 in major championship history, ended a seesaw afternoon in which Mickelson came back from two shots down to pull even three different times but was never able to grab the outright lead.
Toms' lead was one shot as he stood on the 18th tee and hit a drive down the right side of the fairway that nestled in the first cut of rough next to a series of fairway bunkers.
The yardage was 210 to the front of the green, but that wasn't the main problem. The dicey part was the lie, with the ball sitting about a foot above Toms' feet and on a slight downhill lie.
Mickelson, meanwhile, was in the middle of the fairway with 189 yards left to the pin and a lot of interest in what his playing partner was up to.
The first instinct was to go for it, and Toms pulled out the same 5-wood he used to grab the lead the day before with a dramatic hole-in-one on the 15th hole.
Another look at the lie and a check of the yardage followed. The decision became easier.
The crowd didn't like it. They wanted a dramatic shot to either win or lose the championship.
"I hated to do it,'' Toms said. "The crowd was whooping and hollering. You know, 'You wimp,' It was the Chip Beck thing at the Masters all over again.''
Unlike Beck's much criticized decision on the 15th hole at the 1993 Masters, Toms' choice paid off.
"It was not a good yardage, and I had a downhill, sidehill, lie in the rough,'' Toms said. "I had to hit a soft shot and my caddie said the best I could do was put it over the green.''
That would have been trouble. Scraggly Bermuda rough lined the back of the green, and any shot there could easily have been chunked short or hit too hard and into the water in front of the green.
Toms put the 5-wood back in the bag and his caddie handed him a pitching wedge. He hit that in front of the water, 88 yards from the pin, a perfect distance for his lob wedge.
After Mickelson hit his second shot to about 25 feet from the hole, Toms hit the lob wedge long and left of the hole. It spun back to 12 feet, setting up the winning putt that Toms stroked right into the hole.
"I could have gone from one shot up to losing the tournament there if Phil made birdie,'' Toms said. "But I wasn't afraid to take my chances laying up.''
Because he wasn't, he's the new PGA champion.

Jobs lost with Aberdeen Journals shop closure
- 28 February 2012
- From the section NE Scotland, Orkney & Shetland
Ten jobs could be lost with the closure of the Aberdeen Journals shop in the city's Union Street, it has been announced.
Owners DC Thomson said its intention was to close its retail shop in March.
The company said the shop was "no longer financially viable to sustain", placing about 10 positions at risk.
A company spokesperson said: "We intend to work with our staff to ensure the best possible outcome for each individual."
The statement added: "In the current economic climate our Aberdeen shop was becoming increasingly less viable so we're concentrating on what we do best."

Nick Diaz vs. Josh Koscheck?
It's certainly a possibility. An interesting fight, as well.
Though he was hoping to fight by the end of the year, Josh Koscheck will wait for the calendar to turn.
When he returns, the former UFC welterweight title challenger has a few ideas of whom he'd like to fight. It's a short list, but it's a veritable who's-who of the 170-pound class.
Koscheck (17-6 MMA, 15-6 UFC) on Tuesday named Nick Diaz, Demian Maia, Jake Ellenberger and Rory MacDonald as opponents he's interested in.
"Doesn't look like UFC has a fight (for) me until (2013). So I'll just train and get better," Koscheck stated on Twitter. The fighter then went on to list the four opponents he's most interested in.
Koscheck earlier this fall said his plan was to return to action at UFC 155, which takes place Dec. 29 in Las Vegas. But a fight for him didn't materialize for that card, and now the California-based fighter will next see work in 2013.
Koscheck won two straight fights after dropping a unanimous decision against Georges St-Pierre in a welterweight title fight at UFC 124 in December 2010. He returned from a long injury layoff to knock out Matt Hughes in the first round at UFC 135, then won a split decision against Mike Pierce at UFC 141. But against Johny Hendricks at UFC on FOX 3 this past May, a split decision didn't go his way.
He was booked for a fight with Ellenberger at UFC 151, but had to pull out of that fight with a back injury. Then that event was canceled, anyway.
Ellenberger (28-6 MMA, 7-2 UFC) beat Koscheck replacement Jay Hieron by unanimous decision earlier this month at UFC on FX 5. It's conceivable that Ellenberger could be ready to go again for an early 2013 fight against Koscheck.
Diaz (26-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC) currently is suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission and won't be eligible to fight again until February.
I know that it is popular belief that Diaz is in for a rough night against any competent wrestler, but I think that's one of the biggest myth's in MMA. Fact is, Nick Diaz has never been completely shut down by any wrestler than he has faced. It is a myth stemming from his first UFC run, where he lost to Diego Sanchez and Karo Paryisian, who both won narrow decisions by simply being the fighter on top, for the most part. A lot of dummies seem to think he was handily outwrestled by Sean Sherk, but they clearly haven't seen the fight. Nick stuffed up to twenty takedowns in that fight, and even landed a couple of his own. Unfortunately for him, he was so focused on the TDD aspect of the fight, that his striking suffered, and Sherk s****ed by on the judges scorecards, although it would have been fair to give Nick the nod in that fight, just as it would have been fair to give him the nod against Riggs and Karo in his first UFC run.
In reality, Nick has one of the most active guards in the game, and it is just impossible to simply LNP him. He will always be working for submissions and sweeps, and trying to exploit small openings. But, we live in a world where the guy on top is pretty much always considered to be the guy with the upper hand, and the judges often neglect to acknowledge guard work. That's the only thing that scares me if this fight does go down.
On the feet, Kos is pretty much a one trick pony with his wild overhand right. He does throw some high kicks, but his ****nal is very limited. Nick should definitely have the advantage there, utilizing his reach and work rate. However, I don't really think Kos will want to keep it standing, and will test his luck in Nick's guard.
I'm done.

We were pleasantly surprised to find this hotel for such a resonable price, right next to Quincy Market. The hotel was easy to find and is right next to the subway that will take you to the airport (confusing buying tickets on the subway, but that is another story). We were delighted to find ourselves right next to Quincy Market, this is a great place to visit. The hotel room was clean, spacious enough. Whilst we were overlooking the atrium and did not have a window, this was not an issue for us, as we needed some sleep! The ONLY niggle we had was that you could hear a constant hum all through the night. We did not have our air con on and wondered whether it was the drone of it running in other rooms. On balance though, we would stay here again. The guys on the front desk were very polite and helpful and it was very handy that they looked after our luggage for us after we checked out.

Rumor: Intel and Xiaomi "Special Deal"
Subject: Processors, Mobile | January 6, 2016 - 10:56 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: xiaomi, Intel, atom
So this rumor cites anonymous source(s) that leaked info to Digitimes. That said, it aligns with things that I've suspected in a few other situations. We'll discuss this throughout the article.
Xiaomi, a popular manufacturer of mobile devices, are breaking into the laptop space. One model was spotted on pre-order in China with an Intel Core i7 processor. According to the aforementioned leak, Intel has agreed to bundle an additional Intel Atom processor with every Core i7 that they order. Use Intel in a laptop, and they can use Intel in an x86-based tablet for no additional cost.
A single grain of salt... ...
Image Source: Wikipedia
While it's not an explicit practice, we've been seeing hints of similar initiatives for years now. A little over a year ago, Intel's mobile group reported revenues that are ~$1 million, which are offset by ~$1 billion in losses. We would also see phones like the ASUS ZenFone 2, which has amazing performance at a seemingly impossible $199 / $299 price point. I'm not going to speculate on what the actual relationships are, but it sounds more complicated than a listed price per tray.
And that's fine, of course. I know comments will claim the opposite, either that x86 is unsuitable for mobile devices or alleging that Intel is doing shady things. In my view, it seems like Intel has products that they believe can change established mindsets if given a chance. Personally, I would be hesitant to get an x86-based developer phone, but that's because I would only want to purchase one and I'd prefer to target the platform that the majority has. It's that type of inertia that probably frustrates Intel, but they can afford to compete against it.
It does make you wonder how long Intel plans to make deals like this -- again, if they exist.

Curious what a Xiaomi phone is like?
Subject: Mobile | January 13, 2015 - 05:49 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: xiaomi, redmi note, android 4.4
We hear a lot about Xiaomi products here in North America but as they are not commonly found for sale by the major providers we do not tend to see them in action. Madshrimps recently reviewed the 5.5" Redmi Note, one of their lower priced offerings. The screen is 720p, powered by a 1.6GHz Snapdragon 400 series CPU and using the Adreno 305 GPU along with 2GB of low power DDR3 and 8 GB of onboard storage. The base OS is a modified version of Android 4.4 and it comes with a wide variety of apps installed, including many now popular fitness apps. If you are curious how a Xiaomi phone priced under $200 without contract performs and just what it comes with, check out the review here.
"The Redmi Note 4G smartphone has impressed us positively because if offers a lot for its value; the incorporated Snapdragon 400 MSM8928 SoC from Qualcomm may not have a very powerful 3D component but it compensates with good CPU performance, quite decent power consumption and thanks to that we did not have the feeling that the smartphone discharges pretty fast right in front of our eyes as we have seen with some MTK6592 units which have reviewed in the past."

Xiaomi Launches Mi4 Smartphone In China
Subject: General Tech | July 23, 2014 - 01:40 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: xiaomi, snapdragon 801, smartphone, mobile, LTE, Android 4.4.2
Yesterday, Xiaomi revealed a powerful smartphone called the Mi4 that looks to give the unlocked OnePlus One a run for its money. The new smartphone is launching first in China with an international version coming in the future.
The Xiaomi Mi4 features a 5" 1080p IPS LCD display, 13MP rear camera, and 8MP webcam. A metal band surrounds the outside edges of the phone while a stainless steel frame adds rigidity and protection for the internal hardware. The other bits of the case are plastic, however likely due to weight and signal reception concerns. There is a removable back cover that is available in several different designs and colors. The Mi4 is slightly bulkier than its predecessor at 0.35-inches thick and 149 grams.
Internally, the Mi4 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC with four Krait 400 CPU cores clocked at 2.5GHz and an Adreno 330 GPU. Further, the smartphone features 3GB of RAM and either 16GB or 64GB of internal storage. It is powered by a 3,080 mAh battery which should provide ample battery life. Wireless connectivity includes dual band 802.11b/g/n/ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, 3G, and LTE. The WCDMA version of the smartphone will be available first with a CDMA version coming next month, and a 4G LTE capable device coming in September.
The smartphone runs Android 4.4.2 with a highly customized MIUI5 user interface. An updated version of the UI, called MIUI6 is reportedly coming in August, but it is unclear how soon Mi4 users can expect an upgrade.
The Xiaomi Mi4 will be available on July 29 for 1,999 Yuan ($322 USD) for the 16GB version and 2,499 Yuan ($403) for the 64GB version. Initially, it will be 3G only, but a 4G LTE capable version of the smartphone is coming in September (presumably for the same price). Even further out, an unlocked international version is said to be available for purchase in the future.
In all, the Mi4 looks to be a decent phone with enough design tweaks and hardware oomph to give existing high end smartphones a run for their money. You do sacrifice micro SD card support and stock Android, but if you can live with that and are in the target market (or can wait for an international version) it is worth keeping an eye on!

Skip to comments.The Myths of Mitt Romney (vanity)
Posted on 12/23/2007 10:27:07 AM PST by AFA-Michigan
click here to read article
You can't lie about Jan Mickelson and win Iowa. No way.
- Alleged Republican Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, July 1, 2004, after signing permanent assault weapons ban
Just noticed your tag line. We may be the only Alan Keyes fans left here.
Sad state of affairs. He's the only one who even understands the problem, much less how to fix it.
I was answering the question you asked.
"I don't believe any court could have enforced such a law. Romney fixed it so that it could be enforced and even had the NRA compromise to get it done."
I wouldn't call that a "fix" unless you mean fixed it for the gun grabbers.
That's exactly what I meant, of course.
One need only ask, "Why did the anti-gunners support the bill?" I don't see the anti-gunners helping to ease the burden on law-abiding citizens here in Kalifornia. The only thing in that bill for the anti-gunners was the essential patch to their gun-grabbing bill.
And anybody who claims the "grandfathering" of present owners means this is not a "grab" is fooling themselves.
There will be people like me who refuse to register a gun that is already in my safe. I had to export some of my rifles to a free state. Even today I can't fire my $2000 AR-10 target rifle.
Then there is the fact that nobody can buy such guns after the passage of the infringement. My friends and family who could benefit from my advice on what arms are suitable for their use, are unable to own the very weapons that I am familiar with and recommend.
And the final insult is that the state has outlawed inheritance by my children of the infringed arms. If I really still "owned" these rifles, then I would be able to pass them on to my children with the rest of my estate. That is now outlawed.
The anti-gunners only survive because it is illegal to treat them as they deserve to be treated.
Romney has flip-flopped on most every issue but is too stupid to change his gun banning ways.
That alone should tell everyone he is an empty suit that isn't ready for prime-time.
Post 15 does not say anything worthwhile. You do not show you know so much about the NRA. If you can find your way to their web site, even you might find that anyone can buy a lifetime membership for $1,000.
Say hi to your pal Moses for me.
TDS, obviously, you don't know when to quit.
Well aware that you can buy yourself a "life membership" in the NRA. Any other NRA secrets you want to share?
Point is that not everyone knows that's the case, so when The Great Prevaricator boasts without explanation that he's a "life member" of the NRA, it's obvious he's trying to leave the uninformed with the impression that he's been a member for a long time.
Consistent pattern:
"I'm a life member of the NRA." (yeah, since August 06)
"I've hunted all my life." (yeah, twice, 40 years apart)
"I was always for life." (yeah, I know you'll think that means I've been politically pro-life, but the truth is that I spent my entire political career — til running for prez — supporting Roe v Wade and abortion on demand.)
My "pal" has suffered from severe Alzheimer's for several years, so sadly I can't tell him anything. He and Ronald Reagan. A great tragedy that those two men spent their last years oblivious to what their lives meant to so many.

Out of sliced bread and most other food in our house and desperate for something to make for DH's lunch to take to work, I found found a package of hot dot buns in the freezer and our last banana and made this. Peanut butter, banana, on a perfectly shaped bread for the job-yes! Thank you for lodging this idea in the recesses of my mind. It came up at the perfect time.
Well, DH fell for it! I arrived late from work, having left several Zaar recipes spread out on a placemat, and proceeded to make the recipe on the counter directly in his line of vision. Then I placed this on his placemat, "Here's your dinner!" It took a while for it to sink in... Then I announced I was taking him out to dinner, "Fooled Ya!" This was perfect for the man who craves peanut butter. Made for Top Favorites of 2008 Tag as a prize for Mom2Rose for tagging out appleydapply (aka "FROG #8).
DH thought I was nuts!! I made one this morning for his breakfast!! I garnished with coconut used Strawberry jam. I toasted the bun. I won't eat this but I knew who would!! This is a perfect breakfast for kids...or big kids :))
can's make for my baby yet but will remember to when he's older! this was yummy! like a p-nut butter and banana sandwich. i did use reg slice of bread as i didn't have any hotdog buns! just yummy and quick pick me up.
Really good. The girls ate them up and wanted more. Cute idea. Thank you.
I made this and rated Sharon 123's recipe. Since this is the same recipe, my comments ended up here too. SO...thanks to Rose's Momma for giving me that head's up. With that, here is the comments I left for Sharon's recipe. "I would have NEVER thought of doing this. I guess the most simple delicious stuff doesn't occur to me. That's probably due to all the blond hair dye! LOL...but when I got home from the hospital, I started trying to find things that wouldn't tire me out to fix when Mom's not here and that I'm craving like mad bananas. This was PERFECT for breakfast! and didn't fill me up and stretch out my tummy stitches. I did toast my bun so it would be warm, used my blueberry all-fruit, and a big ole just yellow banana. I sure was a happy gal!"

Everything you need to know about surfboards and surfing equipment.
An easy to use application written by World Surfing Champion Shaun Tomson that explains everything about all you need to go surfing.
Choosing the correct surfboard and equipment to go with it can be a confusing and complex experience.
This application will help you understand the shapes and design features that make up a surfboard – from rocker to roll, rails to tails, fins to foils – and help you make the best, most informed choice. And give you an overview and explanation of the best equipment to go along with your board to make the most of your surfing experience.
"An excellent overview of surfboards and surfboard design."
Al Merrick – Channel Islands Surfboards
Shaun started surfing way back in 1965 and over the years has taught hundreds of people how to surf. He has also worked with over 40 of the world's greatest surfboard shapers so he has a broad knowledge of surfboard design, which he outlines in clear, simple terminology.
· 15 of the most popular surfboard shapes
· Ability level recommendation by shape
· 18 surfboard design features
· 15 essential accessories from wetsuits to fins
· 5,000 word surfing glossary
· A Surfer's Code
· A listing of master shapers and contact information
· Maintaining your surfboard in top condition
When I am out in the line up I often see people struggling on unsuitable equipment, boards that might be great for an expert surfer but are woefully inadequate for a beginning or intermediate surfer – teeny submarine-like boards that might be perfect for the best surfer in the world but are totally unsuitable for anyone that is not highly skilled and experienced. When a person starts out on the surfing journey, the trip can be made infinitely easier if one starts out on the right equipment. This little application is designed to do just that – help you find and understand which board will be best for you. Many people ride equipment too advanced for their ability level and end up becoming frustrated while painfully struggling through the learning process. It is important to pick a board that will maximize the fun factor from the outset and make learning and improving as painless as possible.
You want a board that will help you catch waves quickly, that is easy to maneuver and will help you maximize your potential by making the experience as enjoyable as possible. When you are starting out you definitely don't need a Formula 1 racing machine. Choosing a board is not about making a fashion statement or impressing anyone in the store or on the beach or riding what the best surfer in the world rides – it is about getting the best board that is right for you, right now.
I hope this application will help you along on your surfing journey. Send me an e-mail to tell me how you are progressing: email@example.com

Great tool for buying surfboards
This is a handy app to have when you don't know what board to invest in, as well as eliminates feeling insecurity when visiting a surf shop and possibly feeling like a kook. (if you're a beginner that is). But it's also great for locating shapers as well as learning a little bit about the types of surfboards people ride.
Great surfing reference guide
This is the first surf related reference guide in the app store that everyone who has an iphone or itouch should have. It covers all the small details that the surf shops don't answer unless you ask a lot of questions. When I have some extra time I know I'll refer back to this app. Good going!
Get this app before you buy a board
For just $1.99 you get a wealth of information that will really help you make an educated and informed decision when it comes to buying a board. It is easy to navigate and well laid out. There's nothing else like it in the App Store.

The victim was supported by her family when her two attackers
appeared in the High Court at Dunedin yesterday.
Joseph Lepper (37), of Motueka, pleaded guilty to a charge of
detaining a woman without her consent with intent to have
sexual intercourse with her.
Yesterday, co-accused Zane Alexander McVeigh (18), of
Kaiapoi, was sentenced to two years and eight months'
imprisonment on the same charge.
On the night of October 19, the pair were in Lepper's van
cruising the warehouse precinct when Lepper spotted the
victim walking in dimly lit Vogel St about 9.30pm.
''I'm going to do that bitch,'' he told McVeigh.
The victim, who cannot be named, fought off the pair as they
tried to bundle her into the van, which was angle-parked in
front of the 22-year-old.
In her victim impact statement, the victim said she ''had an
inkling'' something was wrong when the van went past and
''It was a testament to her bravery that she was able to
fight you off until help arrived,'' Justice Graham Lang, who
had watched CCTV footage of the attack, said.
After the offenders appeared in court, the victim told the
Otago Daily Times she was pleased her attackers were
off the street and they did not harm anyone else.
''It is the best outcome from a worst-case scenario.''
The victim admitted she ''did well'' to fight off the two men
long enough until others came to her aid.
Her parents, who live in Christchurch, said they were
''insanely proud'' of her actions.
''And I haven't seen how kick-ass my daughter was in the
[CCTV] video,'' her mother said.
''A month previous [to the incident], she was at home
chopping wood and literally couldn't even physically lift up
an axe.''
Earlier, the court had heard how the attack had impacted on
her last year of study.
She failed an exam and struggled to return to Dunedin to
visit her sister, who was studying.
She was determined to move on with her life, and had a final
message to share.
''Hopefully, we can teach men in society that they shouldn't
be doing this kind of thing, as it is not acceptable ... and
they won't get away with it.''
Her father said the attack was not a reflection on the city,
and noted both men were visitors to the city.
''I don't think it is a sad indictment on Dunedin as such -
it is sad there are people like that around.''
The victim praised the ''very good'' work of Dunedin police.
Her mother said she hoped McVeigh - whose offer of
restorative justice with her daughter was declined - would
learn from the incident.
''For a young man, let's hope he can turn his life around.''

Why Gnome Chompski: The Game Could Be the Best Thing Ever
Written Tuesday, March 29, 2011 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Remember carrying Gnome Chompski around in Left 4 Dead 2's Dark Carnival campaign? Well, now he's tired of being carried, and with Duke being late and Dr. Freeman MIA, it's time for the gnome with attitude to step into the void. If only that were the case.
This trailer for Gnome Chompski, put together by a PC modder using bits from a variety of games including Fallout 3, Resident Evil 4 (Luis Sera has a cameo) and others, shows the diminuitive statue going on a rampage with a chainsaw, decapitating zombies with a katana and just generally being an all-round ceramic badass.
Now watch the video, then GET. OFF. HIS. LAWN! I also wish Gnome Chompski was coming soon...

Scientific Linux 6.2 Live CD Available
Scientific Linux Live CD/DVD 6.2 has been officially released for i386 and x86_64.
The Scientific Linux distribution is built from source packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.2 and is enhanced with extra software for use in scientific and academic environments. The distribution was put together by Fermilab, CERN, and various labs and universities around the world.
Scientific Linux 6.2 LiveCD, LiveMiniCD, and LiveDVD are now available for 32-bit and 64-bit systems. In the 6.2 release, software was added from the RPMforge, EPEL, and ELRepo repositories to provide the following: additional filesystem support (NTFS, ReiserFS), secure network connection (OpenVPN, VPNC, PPTP), filesystem tools (dd_rescue, ddrescue, gparted, gdisk), and better multimedia support (gstreamer-ffmpeg, flash-plugin).
According to the announcement, the way the LiveCD was built has completely changed. It is now based on the Fedora LiveCD Tools. According to the website, if you install the LiveCD to hard drive, the installation of the Live image is done by Anaconda, much like the previous version (SL6). All changes done during LiveCD usage are lost. You can install the LiveCD on a USB stick with persistent changes using liveusb-creator included in SL6. To build your own LiveCD, use livecd-tools from SL6. For more information, visit: http://www.scientificlinux.org/.

The relationship between humans and birds is about to get
a whole lot closer at Orokonui Ecosanctuary, Karin Ludwig
They say he doesn't know he's a bird. Sirocco the kakapo
thinks he's human.
The Orokonui Ecosanctuary needs to be recognised as a
place for Pakeha conservation ethics, Otago anthropologist
Jill Hamel says.
Orokonui Ecosanctuary founder and former chairman of the
ecosanctuary trust, Raph Allen, warns about the dangers of
proposed changes to the trust's constitution. They will be
considered by trust members on Thursday.
Global media star, Sirocco the kakapo, will visit Dunedin in
September, taking up residence at Orokonui Ecosanctuary.
A kakapo who became an internet sensation after he was filmed
getting frisky with a zoologist is set to go on tour during
the Rugby World Cup.
The controversial proposed changes to Otago Natural History
Trust's deed have been released to members before a special
general meeting later this month.
It's a fine line between success and failure for the
Orokonui Ecosanctuary. The fine line is a fence, Elton Smith
Karitane kaumatua are distancing themselves from Kati Huirapa

Proposed changes to Otago Natural History Trust's

Both players have great upsides!

Closest player on BYU's roster to Loveridge is K. Collinsworth. Loveridge has a better outside shot. Collinsworth is much more versatile and has the ability to play the 1 - 4 spots. Collinsworth is a better defender. It's hard to make comparisons, but Collinsworth is probably the closest.

Congrats to both these young men. A college education is a phenomenal thing,
and shouldn't be taken for granted.
In truth, I don't think that anyone really doubted where they would go, given where they live and the BYU influence in their respective families. Nevertheless, a loss for Utah for sure.
That being said, I certainly hope that BYU fans aren't counting on Utah being down for long. Case in point: when BYU went 1-25, I kept telling my overly-exuberant Ute buddies that BYU would be back and to not get too overconfident. I see that same weakness now in the BYU fan base, and feel like I need to give the same cautioning message to you now.
Utah will be back. Loveridge is a start, and the progress will be slow and steady, but certainly noticeable. Again, Utah will be back.
Like it or not, it is in all our own best interests if both schools are successful. Here's hoping that is the case, (and that Utah wins more than we lose against our "former" rival) :)

No surprise to anyone these two boys were going to BYU. Perfect fit for their
games. Both of these kids are the best players in their age group in the state
of Utah. They have been the best since 3rd grade.
It mentioned in the Article they will both go on missions. In my mind this is why they went to BYU. Most other schools beside Utah schools don't allow kids to go on missions and miss 2yrs of basketball. I am a full believer kids do not come back from a mission better at basketball and they never reach their full potiential.
Watch when Tyler Haws comes back he will not reach his full potiential. Jackson Emery is a prime example he was great his freshman year at BYU and had a hugh upside. Came back from his mission and didn't really excell.
Think Jimmer, no mission, improved every year, number 10 pick. I think Emery has a chance to be a poor mans Jimmer but this is only if he doesn't go on a mission.

Wow! Pretty big commitment to offer scholarships to a current Junior and Sophomore in high school! And both boys are on the smaller size, not big frame guys. The article lists schools showing interest in Emery, but what about Haws-- as a 10th grader? I understand another former Y player that simply went by his first name was also small of stature by basketball standards. I certainly hope things work out for both of them. Go Cougs!

I couldn't disagree more about your stance on missions. And yes, I'm a diehard, lifelong Ute fan.
Agree that the mission may not increase their athleticism, etc. But, the maturity gained will help both on and off the court.
I'm pretty sure that Alex Jensen met his full potential after serving his mission, and we all know what his leadership did for that '98 squad.

potiential. Jackson Emery is a prime example he was great his freshman year at
BYU and had a hugh upside. Came back from his mission and didn't really excell
I think that if KRY were to ask Coach Rose or Jimmer Fredette whether Jackson Emery excelled, you would hear that he did. He was a fabulous role player, and without him BYU would not have been the great team they were. Being anti-mission reveals that you care more for the honors of men than you do for the balanced development of the young man.

I agree with FinUte 100%, this down-time for Utah basketball is just a blip on
the radar, just like that 1-25 season that caused Roger Reid his job.
Luckily, their resurgence won't come at the cost of BYU's roster. Now a member of the PAC-12, they are going to get many of their players from the existing PAC footprint. Many families living in difficult situations and neighborhoods will push their kids to play in Salt Lake's safer environment. Utah will be "packed" with non-LDS, high quality coast players while BYU will have the pick of the in-state litter.
It's a win-win for both schools, one that makes the secular school even more secular and the Mormon school even more Mormon.
And that will make the rivalry even more dark and raucous. And that's a great thing.

BYU fan here, but committing whilst you are a sophomore and junior? Would it be any surprise though that TJ would NOT go to BYU? I see that Jimmer is engaged. BYU should lock up his yet to be born boys commit to them now dontcha think? I know that you often see recruiters attending jr high games but it is getting a bit ridiculous.

An Oklahoma County district judge was found dead inside his home Thursday.
Donald Deason was identified as the person found dead.
Details regarding Deason's death were not immediately available.
Deason had served on the Oklahoma County bench since 1999. He graduated from the University of Oklahoma College of Law.
Oklahoma County Commissioner Brian Maughan released the following statement about Deason's death:
"The Oklahoma County family is mourning the loss of a true leader tonight. It was my privilege to work closely with Judge Deason in implementing the SHINE alternative sentencing program, and his early and enthusiastic support for that program was crucial to its success. Judge Deason was a jurist of great ability, true vision in the area of criminal justice reform and unquestioned integrity. We are poorer for his passing, and his family is in our thoughts and prayers."

leaving elderly patients alone when an 88-year-old was injured.
According to Pinellas County deputies, 60-year-old Epifania V. Fitzgerald
put one of the patients at an assisted living facility in charge and left.
When she returned 2 1/2 hours later, authorities were there, after one if the facility's residents, a woman, had slipped and fallen in the bathroom, and another resident had called 911.
Fitzgerald was supposed to have been watching out for 21 elderly
Officials say she was charged her with one count of abuse and

Fitzgerald remained in jail Sunday facing a bond of $12,000.
