AASP-AZ Current Leadership
View biography
Samara Way – President
Hello! My name is Samara Way. As a longstanding AASP member, I became actively involved in leadership in recent years as the chair for the Child and Family Advocacy Committee. I am looking forward to working with our Executive Board, Committee Chairs and general membership to maintain the strength, integrity and positive impact of our state organization.
I received my doctorate in school psychology from the University of Wisconsin at Madison after completing an M.S. in educational psychology. I am a licensed psychologist in Arizona as well as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist. I worked as a school psychologist in Washington and Arizona for fifteen years before becoming a faculty member and training director for Argosy University-Phoenix's School Psychology program. This role allowed me to collaborate with school psychologists across the state in the preparation of future practitioners. After six years in higher education, I am excited to be returning to P-12 public education as the Coordinator of Psychological Services for Mesa Public Schools.
My areas of professional interest include the supervision and training of school psychologists, assessment and intervention for culturally and linguistically diverse students and school consultation and collaboration. I enjoy reading, cooking, traveling, and spending time with my family.

Louise Privette – Past President
Greetings from Goodyear! My name is Louise Privette and I have just finished my term as the president of AASP. I am looking forward to supporting Samara Way during her presidency and working with the executive board to implement our strategic plan and provide quality services for our members.
I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. I always knew that I was destined for a warmer climate, so I was the only member of my family to venture west following a year of college in the windy city. I earned my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Arizona State University. As a strong believer in lifelong learning, I recently returned to school and graduated with a D.Ed. in counseling psychology from Argosy University.
I have enjoyed a long and satisfying career as a nationally certified school psychologist. This field has given me the opportunity to assume a variety of roles and work with a wide range of ethnically and socially diverse students. Aside from the traditional duties of the school psychologist, I have had the pleasure of coaching Scholastic Bowl, sponsoring the National Honor Society, serving as an educational ambassador to Motorola, and offering a variety of counseling groups for regular and special needs students. In 2001, I was honored to be named AASP's School Psychologist of the Year. Currently, I am employed by the Agua Fria Union High School District. Thank you for your commitment to children, for putting your faith in this organization, and for giving me this opportunity to serve you.

Jamie Timmerman – Treasurer
I received my Bachelors in Psychology at Adams State College in Alamosa, Colorado. After graduating with my BA in 2000, I began working full-time at a residential treatment facility in Scottsdale, AZ called The New Foundation. I served as a Behavioral Health Specialist for about seven months and was then promoted as the Assistant Education Coordinator. I served as a supervisor in the school treatment center for approximately four years, which was my first exposure to working in an educational setting; this experience really helped guide my career path in becoming a school psychologist. Simultaneously, while working at the treatment facility, I earned my Master's degree in School Counseling through the Northern Arizona University (NAU) Extended Campuses. Upon completion of my MA, I moved to Flagstaff to begin my doctoral studies in Educational Psychology with an emphasis in School Psychology. As a graduate assistant, I served as the Managing Editor (2006 to 2008) and as the Associate Editor (2009) of The Journal of the International Association of Special Education (JIASE). As a graduate student, attending the annual AASP conference was such a treasured experience. I graduated with my Ph.D. in May 2013, upon the completion of my dissertation with regards to English Language learners and reading. I have been a certified school psychologist since the 2010-2011 school year. I am a practicing school psychologist employed by Mesa Public Schools. My professional passions include teaching, advocacy, research and leadership. Through the NAU Extended Campuses, I have taught the Assessment of Exceptional Children course to undergraduate students who are in training to become teachers. The reason I am honored in serving as your AASP treasurer is because I greatly value our state organization for the high-quality professional development AASP provides and the networking opportunities that are available among our fellow psychologists. I firmly believe in on-going professional development and I believe our state organization is a great venue for students and practicing psychologists. I thank you for the opportunity to serve on the Executive Board as the AASP treasurer and I hope to see you at the annual conference this year. I appreciate the difference you make in the lives of our students.

– Northern Region
I moved to Arizona toward the end of my graduate school training in Colorado to complete an internship and be closer to extended family. I attended University of Northern Colorado in Greeley to obtain my Education Specialist Degree in School Psychology. My program had a strong emphasis on rural school psychology, neuropsychology, and counseling in addition to psychometrics and testing, with the idea that we would be practitioners who could deliver services in all areas of the NASP practice model. I moved my family from rural Colorado to rural Arizona, where I have been serving ever since, enjoying high desert climate and Ponderosa pines. In my free time, I hike, spend time outdoors, teach group fitness classes, and provide personal training, when not skyping my college kids or watching a good movie. I also hosted exchange students for a couple years.
Prior to my career in school psychology, I ran a developmental evaluation clinic through the health department which involved multiple disciplines and clinicians to give access to these services in rural communities. I was a case manager for developmental disabilities for early intervention, children, and developmentally disabled parents in our service area while also leading various youth programs. I have worked with youth groups, in group homes, with foster children, in preschools, and as a substitute teacher. It is no wonder I was drawn to school psychology, advocating for children and youth.
I have been with Humboldt Unified School District for about 6 years after working with Prescott Unified School District and Chino Unified School District after internship. I enjoy working with some of our more challenged groups of children and classrooms such as Emotional Disabilities, Autism, ADHD, and low incidence disabilities from preschool through Middle School. I have also been interested in professional development for school psychologists and school staff to stay abreast of current, research-based practices and services that benefit all children. This has led to the position of lead psychologist in my district and a desire to be involved in AASP and NASP.
This last year I have been fortunate to meet the rest of the AASP board, hear about what other districts are doing, and become aware of education policies affecting our schools. I have been able to fill a vacancy as a Northern Region Director and to reach out to School Psychologist in our vast geographic region in Northern Arizona. I hope to continue to be a support and be a voice for our rural region as well as find ways to provide professional development for professional in our area.

There's no such thing as 'the biggest wave in the world'. That designation changes every swell, every season, with every set as ocean winds and current push surf to different corners of the planet.
But there are a few spots that are meccas of big-wave surfing. Two of those spots are in the islands of Hawaii – Oahu's Waimea Bay and Maui's JAWS.
Unlike Waimea – which breaks in full view of the Kamehameha Hawaii on Oahu's North Shore, and has been surfed since the 70s, JAWS was a relative secret until the mid-90s. Rumours circulated in the windsurfing community about a massive wave, a few miles upwind from the world-famous Ho'okipa Beach Park. It broke onto rocks and cliffs, and was essentially accessible only from the water.
So far, the winter of 2013/2014 has been an epic year for big-wave surfing, with massive swells slamming into the European coast, Northern California, and the Hawaiian Islands. With that in mind, it's time to get an inside view on one of the greatest big waves around.
Windsurfers Josh Angulo and Dave Kalama were among the first to sail up to the then unknown break. After their session, news among the windsurfing elite spread quickly. Robby Naish and Jason Polakow, both champion windsurfers, were soon on the scene.
Both Robby Naish and Jason Polakow became known as some of the best JAWS riders there were – Jason for his fearlessness in attacking the lip, Robby for his stylish lines on the massive wave face.
In the video above, they recall some of their most thrilling – and scariest, moments on the famous wave.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
So for some reason, whenever I try to link the contacts on my sim card to their facebook profile/twitter/linkedin profile, their photo isn't shown. And, everytime I turn my phone off and on again, my contacts are no longer linked to their respective social media profiles.
I have all the settings to on and everything in place so that display photos and profiles are present.
Is there something I'm missing?
I was just about to post this same question. I'll just bump instead.
Switched devices, put new sim in, tried to link contacts to fb/email/twitter contacts, I restart and social contacts are no longer linked to the sim contacts.
Example: I link John's email, fb, twitter, phone number. I restart and there are 2 entries for John. 1 with just his phone number and 1 with his fb/email/twitter. Any help would be very appreciated. It's getting frustrating.
BlackBerryHelp on Twitter didn't have any help to offer. Getting desparate here
Hey Matt, not sure if you've fixed this. I managed to find a fix and haven't had to relink my contacts for a week now.
I kept getting battery pull suggestions and allowing more time to save sort of ideas, but that's not the problem. This is what I had to do.
I had to go to my contacts and stop having contacts from my SIM card be displayed. You do that buy swiping from the top > settings and turn SIM Card Contacts to off. Then in that same screen go to the bottom and do import contacts from SIM. This saves those contacts to the device, so all your contacts are saved on the same hard drive.
I thought just keeping the SIM card in there and linking them would do the trick at first. Not the case, since whenever you restart the phone, I guess the device re recognizes the sim card, and so the contacts will unlink and SIM contacts will be displayed under a separate portrait than those saved on the device. Let me know if this works.
This solved it for me too. Truly unfortunate the Z10's store contacts on the SIM by default, the SIM doesn't have the robustness to properly store them anyways in terms of accepting all the fields. I would like to store nothing on my SIM and just use Link for backup purposes. Well, ideally BlackBerry Protect but all the backup functionality of that service has been discontinued sadly

This review is from: CM Storm QuickFire Rapid - Compact Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with CHERRY MX Brown Switches
Pros: Easily the most cost-effective cherry brown keyboard I've owned.
Cons: I miss my numpad.
Other Thoughts: In this day and age where everyone is falling over each other to build a more expensive back-lit keyboard with 1000 extra buttons and features you're never going to want or use this keyboard is a breath of fresh air. It's a cheap, durable, and responsive deck of brown switches you won't regret buying... just don't forget to check whether or not you really want to give up your numpad.READ FULL REVIEW

Lady Bulldogs hold annual softball tournament
New Albany was tested by some of the area's best teams and look ahead to what they can do in the remainder of their division schedule.
Hosting the New Albany Invitational at BNA Bank Park on Saturday, the Lady Bulldogs took on Belmont, Alcorn Central and Tupelo, finishing with a win in its first game and falling to the Lady Bears and Lady Wave.
In the first game against Belmont, the Lady Bulldogs had no problems hitting, as four players had multiple hits in the 13-3 win. Senior Shaneka Cullins had two doubles and an RBI to lead the offense, while Megan Dye, Shannon Goode and Kayla Pavlick each had two RBI and Dye had two hits. Lauren Cavender and Tamarria Ivy also had two hits each.
New Albany opened the second game against Alcorn Central building a 4-0 lead, but ultimately fell to the Lady Bears, 5-4. Alcorn Central tied the game in the sixth, and went ahead in that same inning. Lauren Cavender opened the bottom half of the inning with a double, but was later thrown out at home plate. New Albany had nine hits in that game and were led by Pavlick and Mallory Beaty, who each had two hits.
"It wasn't good at all. We had so many mistakes mentally and physically and no life," Lady Bulldogs' coach Shane Sanderson said. "We sat out a game (after Belmont), so maybe they got laxed, but as ball players, they've got to come out and be ready to play. "
In the final game against Tupelo, the Lady Bulldogs tied the Lady Wave early in the game, but eventually fell, 4-1.
Abby Stafford scored the first run for the Lady Wave in the opening inning, and New Albany answered with Cullins bringing in the tying run. Tupelo went ahead in the second inning and added its last two runs in the sixth off a single from Katie Rieves and a Lady Bulldog error.
"Tupelo's a really good team, and we knew they wouldn't make a lot of mistakes," Sanderson said. "We had a couple of plays that hurt us; lack of effort and base running were huge. We had too many pop ups, and we've been trying to preach and get a handle on that, but we haven't gotten that yet."
New Albany jumps back into division play on Monday, hosting North Pontotoc. The Lady Bulldogs need a win over the Lady Vikings or Shannon to make the playoffs.
"We're 1-1 in division and we have North Pontotoc next week," Sanderson said. "We have to beat them or Shannon, and we'd love to get them both so we can host in the playoffs. "

Wednesday, September 14, 2005 | Saying the goal is not to close the achievement gap but to eliminate it altogether, San Diego County educators presented figures Tuesday showing significant improvement in California High School Exit Exam passing rates for San Diego County Latino and African-American students in 2005.
CAHSEE passing rates for the math portion of the test for Latino and African-American students in 2005 was 14 percent less than for white and Asian students, down from 25 percent in 2004 and 37 percent in 2003, said Ed Brand, superintendent of the San Marcos Unified School District, at a press conference at the San Diego County Office of Education.
The achievement gap refers to the difference in academic performance between white and Asian students on the one hand, and Latino and African-American students on the other hand, said San Diego County Superintendent of Schools Rudy Castruita.
To address the disparity, county officials established an Achievement Gap Task Force in 2003, chaired by Brand, which enlisted the support of superintendents and educators from all 42 county school districts. The task force has been devoting considerable attention and resources to closing the gap in academic achievement among student subgroups, a gap most educators say stems from inequities in income levels, educational opportunities and societal expectations.

Substance abuse (SA) affects up to 20% of the population at some point in their lives and exhibits a heritability rate between 40 and 60%. SA is likely due to complex genetics, i.e., multiple risk alleles of modest effect interacting with environmental factors to produce the addiction phenotype. Schizophrenia, which affects ~1% of the population and exhibits substantial heritability (~80%), is a disorder with a very high prevalence of SA. Nearly 90% of individuals with schizophrenia smoke cigarettes heavily, ~50% have ethanol dependence and high rates of stimulant abuse. Pharmacologic, post-mortem and recent genetic research have implicated NMDA receptors (NMDAR) in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. NMDARs have also been implicated in the acquisition and extinction of SA in animal models. We hypothesize that the high prevalence of SA in schizophrenia is due to shared risk genes that disrupt NMDAR function. Specifically, 3 risk genes for schizophrenia affect the availability D-serine, a co-agonist at the NMDAR in cortico-limbic regions of the brain. We have developed mice, in which serine racemase, the enzyme that synthesizes D-serine has been genetically inactivated (SR-/- ). The SR-/- mice exhibit structural, neurochemical and behavioral homologies to schizophrenia. They also present abnormalities in the acquisition and extinction of conditioned hyperactivity to amphetamine, consistent with an increased vulnerability to SA. We will use SR-/- mice and, as positive controls, GlyT1+/- mice, which have increased NMDAR function, to assess the role of NMDAR function in two animal models of SA: the cocaine self-administration paradigm, which measures the reinforcing effects of cocaine and intracranial self-stimulation, which measures the propensity of the mouse to self-administer a rewarding brain stimulus, in essence the hedonic status of the subject. Alterations in the performance of SR-/- and GlyT1+/- mice on cocaine self- administration will be correlated with neuronal activity as monitored by cFos and DFosB expression in brain regions relevant to SA. Finally, we will determine whether behavioral abnormalities in the SR-/- mice can be reversed by treatments that replace the deficient D-serine.
This project is based on the hypothesis that the reason that substance abuse is 3-5 times more prevalent in schizophrenic individuals is that both conditions share risk genes that disrupt NMDA receptor function. To test this hypothesis, we will use mice with hypofunctional NMDA receptors due to the inactivation of the gene encoding serine racemase (SR-/-), a risk gene for schizophrenia. We will determine whether the SR-/- mice exhibit abnormalities in two behavioral models of addiction and whether these behaviors can be ameliorated by drug treatment.

Investors can increase their returns by holding foreign stocks in addition to domestic ones. They can also gain by taking the appropriate amount of exchange risk. But what amount is appropriate? Assume that investors see the world in light of their own consumption goods and count both risk and expected return when figuring their optimum hedges. Assume that they share common views on stocks and currencies, and that markets are liquid and there are no barriers to international investing. In this perfect world, it is possible to derive a formula for the optimal hedge ratio. This formula requires three basic inputs--the average across countries of the expected returns on the world market portfolio; the average across countries of the volatility of the world market portfolio; and the average across all pairs of countries of exchange rate volatility. These values can be estimated from historical data. The formula in turn gives three rules. (1) Hedge foreign equity. (2) Hedge less than 100 per cent of foreign equity. (3) Hedge equities equally for all countries. The formula's solution applies no matter where an investor lives or what investments he holds. That's why it's called "the universal hedging formula."

Android-powered Samsung Galaxy Camera 2 adds processing power
Samsung has released its newest Android-powered Galaxy Camera, aptly named the Galaxy Camera 2. While the GC2 retains the slim form factor, 21X zoom lens (23-483mm equiv.), and huge 4.8-inch touchscreen LCD of its predecessor, it adds a faster quad-core processor, double the memory, a more recent version of Android (4.3), and a more powerful battery. The Galaxy Camera 2 offers latest and greatest Samsung 'Smart' features, including a 'selfie alarm'. Naturally, the camera has Wi-Fi built-in (with NFC) — although the initial press release makes no mention of a 3G/4G version this time around.
The Galaxy Camera 2 will be available in black and white colors. Pricing and ships dates was not available.

Press release:
Samsung Launches the GALAXY Camera 2, a Powerful Successor to the GALAXY Camera
Featuring an Android platform and a lightweight retro design, the GALAXY Camera 2 allows avid photographers to capture and share even more, with superior quality and speed
SEOUL, Korea – January 02, 2014 – Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd announced the GALAXY Camera 2, a successor to the award winning GALAXY Camera which combines the quality imaging of a high end camera with sharing capabilities and an intuitive design to match the most up-to-date smartphones. The GALAXY Camera 2's revolutionary technology, which includes an upgraded 1.6GHz Quad Core processor and the Android platform makes it faster and easier than ever for users to shoot, edit and share high quality images with friends and family. With a lightweight, retro design, the GALAXY Camera 2 is the ideal option for photographers who do not want to sacrifice style for technology.
"Consumers love the GALAXY Camera, and this next-generation version was designed to improve on the successful predecessor, with upgraded and new features that will enhance the photography experience," said Myoung Sup Han, Executive Vice President and Head of the Imaging Business Team at Samsung Electronics. "The result is a more powerful and portable device which continues to embrace the public's passion for the social features of smartphones, yet also provides superior image control and quality. We are dedicated to making it easier for more people to achieve great results and with the GALAXY Camera 2's host of creative features, anyone can capture stand out images."
Fast and Superior Performance
The GALAXY Camera 2 lets users enjoy the full benefits of the Android platform. Intuitive to use and faster than ever before, users can navigate the GALAXY Camera 2 functions with ease-of use and focus on capturing the perfect shot rather than having to filter through complex settings. With an enhanced battery life (2000mAh), avid photographers can enjoy the photography experience for longer period of time and have the ability to take even more beautiful pictures.
A high performance camera, the GALAXY Camera 2 produces images of exceptional quality, unrivalled by smartphone photography. Its 16M BSI CMOS Sensor produces vivid images which are both rich in color and sharp in detail, allowing memories to be captured and reproduced in perfect clarity. With a huge 21x Optical Zoom, photographers can get closer than ever to their subjects. Featuring an upgraded 1.6 GHz Quad-Core processor, supported by a massive 2.0 GB of RAM, the GALAXY Camera 2 operates at ultra high speed so that the array of intuitive features can be accessed without delay. This internal memory is supplemented with the pre-loaded Dropbox app, an exclusive offering which provides 50GB of free cloud storage for up to two years, so that passionate photographers need never worry about running out of memory ever again.
Simple Sharing and Easy Use
Sharing is made simple with advanced Wi-Fi and NFC capabilities that accompany the GALAXY Camera 2. The all-new innovative 'Tag & Go' feature makes it easy to connect the GALAXY Camera 2 to NFC-enabled smartphones and devices. All it takes is a simple tap of the smartphone and camera and devices will be automatically paired and transfer images swiftly using a host of clever functions. With Photo Beam, the picture being viewed on the camera is automatically sent to the paired smartphone, while Mobile Link, allows photographers to select images they wish to transfer to their smartphone at their leisure. For more creative shooting, Remote Viewfinder lets photographers control the camera using the smartphone, providing greater freedom for setting up and snapping shots.
The GALAXY Camera 2's 121.2mm (4.8-inch) HD Super Clear Touch LCD provides users with a beautiful way to view and edit images. Shots are displayed in intense color and detail, while its large size makes it easy to navigate the many apps and features available on the camera. With a lightweight design, the GALAXY Camera 2 is a highly portable option making it the perfect choice for both day to-day, as well as special occasion photography.
Creative Capture
With Smart Mode, users can choose from 28 different pre-set modes all designed to address different shooting scenarios, which will allow a professional touch or creative twist to any image. For those unsure which mode they want to select, the Smart Mode Suggest feature provides a helping hand in securing those winning shots. It analyzes the scene at hand; recognizing lighting conditions, scenery, objects, and then instantly recommends the optimal Smart Mode to ensure that the perfect shot is always captured. New Smart Mode Selfie Alarm guarantees that self-portraits receive the attention they deserve. It takes five consecutive, high resolution images so that users can select their best angle and share immediately on their favorite social media site.
Videos can also be given a unique twist with features such as Multi Motion Video, which allows users to set the speed of capture and create speed up or slowed down movies. Ranging from eight times slower than normal speed up to eight times faster, this feature adds visual flair to footage which can be enjoyed time and time again. The GALAXY Camera 2 also makes it easy for photographers to use their favorite applications, such as Paper Artist and Xtremera, to personalize their shots straight from the camera so that images can be edited and shared without delay.
Please visit our CES booth to experience this future technology firsthand. Samsung's product line will be displayed from January 7-10 at booth #12004 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

This isn't a camera. It's a device to make Android photo and video apps much more powerful. Suddenly you have a proper zoom lens and a decent sensor. You combine this with the power of a quad-core processor. This makes it ideal for applications like live video streaming. The power of this product is in how powerful it can make an Android application become.
The main weakness of this model is the lack of 4G capability. The main problem with the previous version was the fragile lens zoom mechanism (which, unfortunately, appears to be carried over). This camera is conducive to tripod use in locations where it can easily be knocked over or blown over by the wind. And it will almost certainly break on the first fall - even if it falls on grass.
The new, larger battery is also welcome (the old one could overheat). Normal photographic concerns, like its average sensor size and 2+ stop aperture variance, are not big issues here. It's an impressive technological package with the proper app.
Samsung promised an improved and a much better version of the galaxy camera and hence they started 2014 with the release of the Galaxy camera 2. The camera has a 16.3 MP sensor with a great 4.8" display running on a quad-core processor and the android 4.3 OS.
No mechanical/tactile controls for key features such as exposure/ISO/WB = fail, sorry - no matter the image quality.
Sticking with my superb all conditions EX2F!
The sensor size is small. Lens is slow.
I suggest Samsung to include the camera 360 by default.
And user will be happier to play with the images
This camera is made for people who have never owned a real camera and want all these features, without knowing they'll never use them, and all the disadvantages they bring.
Here's how I'd design the perfect GALAXY Camera.
1. Same specs as their flagship (such as the S4). This is #1 turn off for me when there is no clear advantage for buying a product over another. It should simply be the same phone as a S4, except with a camera and a camera form-factor.
2. Great lens. I'd rather have an edge-to-edge sharp 28mm (equiv) F8 fixed focus, than a useless 21x zoom.
3. People who buy such a thing place image quality at a high priority. A noisy, heavy-handed noise removal at ISO 200 (or even ISO 400 for that matter) is an instant deal breaker. It is the quintessential perfume on a pig. A great 8MP capture is better than a useless 16MP picture that doesn't meet quality standards for any enthusiast.
4. RAW. A person who would buy one probably cares about extracting the best image possible.
Unfortunately, if you ask people about camera purchase, most two important things are:
(1) number of pixels
(2) zoom ratio
So, I am sure that this camera is geared up for those group of people, which are most common around us - that is, there are not photographers at all.
The Sony hx50 with a 20 mega pixel sensor and 30X zoom lens still has the edge!
However many people are also interested in the size and quality of the LCD screen. Since they do not print or download to a computer. The 4.8 inch screen on this Samsung is brilliant for showing off snaps!
"While the GC2 retains the slim form factor...."
What?!? Have you seen the Galaxy Camera? It's HUGE, not slim. It's closer in size to a Canon G16 than anything. It outright lies with the 19mm thickness spec because that's the thickness of the camera body, not the grip or the lens protrusion.
Actually have YOU ever seen one in person?
It looks a lot smaller in person than in photos.
And it is a lot slimmer than the fat G series.
I looked at one at best buy recently, in fact, as I was interested in it based on specs. In person, It's HUGE. That 5" screen makes the WxH the largest of any compact and the depth is easily 50% thicker than a regular slim compact, like a Canon ELPH for example. It's wider than a G by a fair bit, no less tall, and only a tiny bit slimmer.
Funny. I had the opposite reaction when I saw it at a local store. Thought it looked way smaller than what I expected from looking at photos. I was pleased with the overall design and would have bought one for my wife if it could do 25fps PAL video. Was hoping this new one would as the Galaxy NX does, but it seems like it doesn't.
Interestingly, also saw it again at our local pub few days ago, as an older lady in her 60-70s who sat on the table next to us had one. Probably not the target demographics but I can see how it could be useful for a grandparent trying to keep in touch etc...
I am on the "it looks huge side." It is huge and slow, slow to do everything, and the pictures do not look good. Unless it can make calls, or gets a bigger screen, I do not get this product line. But that is my impression of the first gen, maybe this one is a lot better, but I doubt it.
I'd rather take a short zoom range for a larger sensor and/or faster lens. Essentially, an Android version of the EX2F they make.
Also should shoot Raw + and be a smartphone too, then I ll give them my money. Must be all in one

There is probably no one more aware of the old saw that nothing can make a fool of a man like a horse than Aidan O'Brien, who has spent a lifetime in the company of the beasts. And over the past eight months or so he made hostage to fortune in the case of Australia, whom he described as the best he had ever had under his care. Given the master of Ballydoyle's previous achievements, that was some bold statement, and one which raised more than a few cynical eyebrows.
But here, the chestnut colt gloriously justified the hyperbole – which must now be considered actuality – with a silk-smooth victory in the Derby. It was not only O'Brien's fifth success in the premier Classic, but also made him the first man in 235 runnings to saddle three consecutive winners. Australia's sire Galileo was his first, in 2001, immediately followed by High Chaparral. Then came Camelot in 2012, and Ruler Of The World last year.
Australia's destiny on this undulating downland track, a switchback mile and a half that provides a complete test of a racehorse, was perhaps right there in his genes. His sire is Galileo, now regarded as the best stallion in the world, his dam is Ouija Board, heroine of the 2004 Oaks. "We have always thought he was special, right from the start," O'Brien said. "What set him apart was the speed he showed, quite exceptional for a horse bred to stay 12 furlongs.
"In fact, he was so quick that we couldn't be absolutely sure he would get the distance. But we wanted to be here with him, he has the class and the pedigree, and he has stood up to the mark. But knowing horses and all the things that can go wrong, I have to admit that I'm still surprised when it does happen the way we plan."
Australia was not tested at the highest level last year, but such was his reputation he was winter Derby favourite, a position he maintained to start at 11-8. When he did step into top company, in last month's 2,000 Guineas, he finished an excellent third, and might even have won with a better rub of the green. That effort came after a difficult spring behind the scenes in Co Tipperary, when the training regime was compromised by bugs affecting the health of the inmates, and wet weather their work programme.
But there were no problems whatsoever. Australia, given an elegantly confident ride by O'Brien's 21-year-old son Joseph, broke sweetly from the stalls, travelled powerfully in the middle of the pack as two outsiders, Our Channel and his own stablemate Kingfisher, took the field of 16 along, and then made eyecatching headway down the hill. Two furlongs out he and the 15-2 second favourite Kingston Hill left their rivals behind, but Australia's burst of acceleration quickly settled the issue.
He took two lengths out of his rival in a matter of strides – it is apparent even at a walk that he has an unusually powerful leverage in his hindquarters – and although Kingston Hill, equally beautifully ridden by Andrea Atzeni, kept him honest all the way to the line and his margin was just a length and a quarter, there was only ever going to be one winner. The pair pulled more than three lengths clear of the 20-1 shot Romsdal, with a similarly wide margin back to Arod.
"Coming down the hill I was going very easy," said O'Brien Jr, who had also ridden Camelot. "I'd gone wide because I didn't want to break his stride at all, give him an easy passage. I just got nudged out coming to the bend, but he is such a well-balanced horse and was going so well that I had time to get him straightened up and then just let him go on. He felt as if he was cantering the whole way and I probably hit the front far too soon, and he idled a bit in front, which let the other one close a bit at the end."
Australia bridged an 81-year Epsom gap for the race's founding dynasty. He was bred by the 19th Lord Derby, whose family colours were last carried to victory here by Hyperion in 1933. He races for John Magnier and his Coolmore Stud partners, who bought him as a yearling at auction for 525,000 guineas.
He has already recouped that with today's £782,598 prize and in due course will do so even more effectively at stud. But before that remains his glittering progress on the track; he is now among the favourites for the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. "We've made no secret about what we think of him," added O'Brien jr, "and I just wanted to give him the chance to do himself justice. He was a bit babyish as a two-year-old, but this year he's push-button. They don't come any easier to ride. He's just the best."Reuse content

Ever wonder? Think you could do better?
You're probably right, and after years of being frustrated by the swill that networks are forcing down our throats, I decided to give it a go.
So if you have any interest in watching a Madison native swim through the shark invested waters of Hollywoodland in an attempt to make it as a TV comedy writer, please check out my blog:
At the very least, you can be glad you're not me.
Who writes this crap????
How can cultural elitists like ourselves put TV in the Culture category? Well, where the hell else is it going to fit?
