a basis of the status quo ante bellum is viewed officially in washington as having just one purpose — a separate peace with italy the propagandists of the central powers having succeeded in russia they are intensively at work in italy their immediate object is to under mine the italian people's faith at the state department there were said to be evidences that ger many and russia were planning to get the suggested terms formally be fore the united states either through ambassador francis or the swedish government russian peace terms received indirectly the state department is said to have received the text of the bolshe vik peace proposal on which count czernin's offer to the peace com missioners at brest-litovsk was based they came from a swedish newspaper not directly from the bolshevik headquarters if the terms are received from the russian representatives alone it is more than likely they will be ig nored if received from germany di rect the character of the reply if any

State DOT examining dangerous Lenox intersection after 17th crash in four years
LENOX -- The Department of Transportation is evaluating data on 17 accidents from 2009 through Tuesday night at the intersection of Route 7 & 20 and Holmes Road following the second mishap in eight days at the trouble-prone, heavily traveled location.
The most recent crash on Tuesday evening injured four people, one seriously, and resulted in the arrest of a driver who faces a Thursday court appearance on charges of drunken driving resulting in serious injury.
According to the Lenox police investigation, the southbound motorist made an illegal left turn on a green light, failing to yield against oncoming traffic and colliding with a northbound vehicle. On Nov. 19, a three-vehicle pileup followed a driver's illegal left turn on green despite oncoming traffic, sending one motorist to Berkshire Medical Center with serious injuries.
The Tuesday accident was the third this autumn at the intersection, the 10th in three years and the 17th in four years. The Nov. 19 crash prompted communication about the dangerous intersection between the state Department of Transportation and Police Chief Stephen O'Brien, who provided four years of data on all the incidents.
Most of the accidents have involved failure to yield to oncoming traffic on a green light, O'Brien said, despite warning signage. A left-turn green arrow permits drivers to enter Holmes Road with all other traffic halted.
"Hopefully, the state will come up with a plan to rectify the situation," he said.
Responding to an Eagle inquiry, Michael Verseckes, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, stated: "Right now, we're working with the Lenox police to examine the frequency and types of crashes at this intersection. From this analysis, we'll evaluate the potential solutions and move forward with a remedy that addresses the issue."
In Tuesday's 5:50 p.m. mishap, Michael T. Boyle, 19, of West Street, Pittsfield, the driver of the southbound 2007 Toyota Corolla, was arrested on multiple charges after he was treated and released from Berkshire Medical Center. He was released on personal recognizance late Tuesday evening, and he is scheduled to be at a hearing at Southern Berkshire District Court Thursday morning on four charges.
Boyle's rear-seat passenger, Brett M. Borden, 23, of Schulze Road in the town of Washington, was rushed to Berkshire Medical Center on an advanced life-support ambulance with what appeared to be potentially life-threatening injuries, O'Brien said.
Following surgery, he was reported in stable condition on Wednesday afternoon, according to hospital officials.
A front-seat passenger, Ryan M. Fisher-Pratt, 19, of Plunkett Street, Pittsfield, was treated and released from BMC. None of the three was wearing a seat belt, police reported.
The sole occupant of a northbound 2011 Honda sedan that was hit by Boyle's vehicle, Thomas J. Burke, 51, of Mechanicsburg, Pa., also was released after treatment at the hospital.
The misdemeanor charges against Boyle include operating under the influence causing serious bodily injury, failing to yield to oncoming traffic, being a minor transporting alcohol, and possession of a small amount of marijuana, a civil infraction. Other charges may be pending against the two other occupants of Boyle's vehicle, said O'Brien.
Lenox Police Officers Sean Ward and William Fuore responded to the crash scene, as well as O'Brien. They were assisted by the state police based in Lee and members of the Lenox Fire Department. Lenox Ambulance and County Ambulance transported the accident victims to BMC.

"Prejudices, it is well known, are most difficult to eradicate from the heart whose soil has never been loosened or fertilized by education; they grow there, firm as weeds among stones.'"
"Society is like a lawn where every roughness is smoothed, every bramble eradicated, and where the eye is delighted by the smiling verdure of a velvet surface"
"We're responsible for eradicating discrimination but also for educating the public. Businesses not only need to make a profit, but they need to deal with regulations from the Labor Department, workers' compensation and a wide array of state laws."
"The growers feel very adamant that the eradication program needs to continue. Without this money, there was a lot of concern about the long-term success of the program."
"There is a lot of disappointment that we were unsuccessful with the eradication program... as a state."
"The US government is not only failing to take steps to eradicate torture, it is actually creating a climate in which torture and other ill-treatment can flourish."
"The awareness process is starting to bubble, ... My hope is that women will take that awareness and eradicate some of the stereotypes about women and finances."
"You said I could not make it, you tried to stop me, you tried to bring your fears on me. But, now you are the one asking me for help."
"We're not talking about polio. We're not talking about smallpox. Those diseases were hard to eradicate. We're talking about nutritional diseases. This should be a no-brainer. Provide access to better food, and the disease will go away."

Discussion in 'Pros' Racquets and Gear' started by Jcarlisle2, Nov 5, 2012.
Hello tw Is Andy Murray's world tour finals's apparel will be on sale?
Should be released on next Spring.
So late???????
The shoes seems to be awesome. If there's another shirt without that kind of sleeves it should be beautiful too.
there will be also a white version of that....but the sleeves are the same
The shoes are epic, I can always use more.
It's usually released shortly after the WTF.
I'd like those shoes.
What happened to 2013 adidas thread?
The white shirt is worse than the black, what was Adidas thinking.
The adidas spring line will be released in late December. Check our blog for some sneak peek details of what Murray is wearing at the World Tour Finals.
Tiffani, TW
Thanks. Like very much the shoes and wristband. In order to crew I'm not into it but I want to see the other version fit. However I think black-yellow is better than white-yellow
So Murray's WTF outfit is actually his Australian Open outfit?
Talk about getting ready for Australia early!
Man, that white shirt with yellow shorts it's one of the ugliest things i've ever seen.
The yellow shorts reminded me of scrambled eggs.
HY Tiffani!!
Release adidas the yellow wristbands for the public??
Thank you for your answer.
We have ordered a white/yellow combo wristband, but those won't be available at least until January.
Thank you,
Tiffani, TW
WTF indeed...
A lot has to be said for the good old days of tennis when players wore outfits for entire seasons, not just for one tournament..
Quality over quantity
"Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."
- But only a dandy like Oscar Wilde could have written this.
He certainly doesn't have to worry about being run over by a car at night. that is for sure
HA HA gold!
Horrible. Just. horrible.
At last, semi-fitted shirts for us athletic blokes!!!!
You guys want to know why the companies are so conservative when it comes to colors...THIS is why. "All we ever get is red and black, maybe navy blue..." THIS is why. Rod Laver used to wear a yellow shirt and shorts, and he looked GREAT. That was 40 years ago. Why be so timid???
I WILL cop both those mustard shorts AND crew
if adidas wanted yellow they should look no further than what they gave Safin in 2009
They should innovate, of course, but that shirt is awful because the sleeves.
I think thats one reason murray lost,,his clothes were eye sore.
I Just think its just too tight fit for the Shirt, & i am a Murray Fan, just to say he is not a good shirt model.....
Look what scramble eggs makes a good combo with black.
Apparently Adidas is selling a non-fitted or at least a less-fitted version to the public of the black/yellow shirt with a less bold graphic. Do you know if the same one he's wearing will also be released?
Saw the adizero line. Not great as 2012 but not bad. Like the white with grey and yellow and grey with yellow and white. The shorts are very beautiful and hope longer than 2012.
The Roland Garros crew isn't exceptional but I must see it on the court
Who knows 2012 WTF shoes of Andy Murray's that it is number of catalogs?
(Black shoes and a little vivid yellow)
can you send me the catalogue? Cheers
Lol....i honestly literally read this thread as:
Andy Murray "What the &*&*" apparel
It would not have been so far fetched to think that the thread was in that context lol....
I cannot believe that actually that is his AO outfit.
I don't think it will be.
I hope so, but as far as what I've seen in the adidas 2013 line, it will be nowhere near 2011-2.
The first picture is shoes.
Left top of shoes is similar to 2012 RG shoes.(2012 Olympics)
Right top of shoes is similar to 2012 WIM shoes.(2012 Cincinnati)
Left bottom of shoes is similar to 2012 UO shoes(2012 Shanghai)

Dear Sir/Madam,
I'd be extremely grateful for an idea of what this spider is (found in loft).
Very many thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
It looks like a Steatoda grossa - those light chevrons on its back are characteristic although they don't always show up well. It's a close relative of the Noble False Widow, Steatoda nobilis, which elements the press were getting so hyperventilated about last year. While we have a few S nobilis around the back of the house where I live, I haven't seen any of these - I understand from other comments on this blog that they tend to make their webs lower down near the floor rather than at height, and keep themselves to themselves.
There's more about it here:
Dear ChrisE,
Many thanks for your post. There seem to be quite a few of these in my loft, generally in the insulation between the joists, which fits with your comment of them living near the floor. I've been doing a lot of maintenance in the roof recently and few of these have rolled out towards me. I'm not particularly scared of spiders but a couple have made me jump so was interested to find out what they were and if they bite (mind you the loft is full of old fibreglass insulation - far worse than any spider - so I'm well covered up!!).
Kind regards, Henry
I've rarely come across spiders when rooting around in the loft, no doubt I'd jump too if one suprised me. The place seems to be more popular with wasps. Bites are rare but tend to happen when the spider feels physically threatened eg. it's prodded or become caught up against the skin in clothes. Check your work gloves if you leave them lying around up there!
I will remember your advice!! There do seem to be lots on insect nests also but no residents yet. A bumble bee nest was fairly horrid. Looked like somebody had emptied a part melted family sized bag of malteezers into a section of insulation. All good spider food I guess. I'll be happy when I've finished up there.
Thanks again, Henry

An IUCN guide to the cultivation of 30 native tree species in Lebanon was launched on 30 November at the Lebanese University's Department of Agronomy as part of a major reforestation effort in the country.
During recent years there has been increasing interest in restoring the forest landscapes of Lebanon. A number of initiatives supporting different reforestation activities are being developed in the country. Most initiatives, however, have been focusing on no more than three tree species, partly because of the lack of technical references for native species production.
The vision behind this publication is to provide a handbook that covers all the technical aspects of restoration, from seed collection, through seedling production in the nursery, to planting out in the field. This will hopefully help in the process of planning and design, which is essential for supporting the restoration of forest landscapes. The handbook is divided into four main sections: Chapter one describes the procedure for seed collection, processing and storage. The principles of nursery management are then examined, from bare-root production of forest species (chapter two) to production of seedlings in containers (chapter three). Finally, the principles of planting and sowing in the field are described in chapter four.
The second part of the manual includes nearly 30 protocols for propagating native plants that are important for restoration purposes, including trees and shrubs. Together they should provide a solid foundation for Lebanon's foresters and others interested in producing native plants. The selection of species described here is not exhaustive, but they have been chosen for their ability to support ecological restoration and provide goods and services in the long term. In time this list will need to be expanded to include other species and practices of interest.
This publication was made possible by the efforts of many institutions and was coordinated by the Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN–Med), thanks to financial support from the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs through the Spanish International Development Cooperation Agency (AECID).

In this section you'll find an overview of the CompactFlash card readers included in this report. Be sure to look at both the summary and detail sections to get a complete picture of each reader's features.
The FireWire readers have been tested on both Mac and PC platforms, while the USB 2.0 readers have been tested only on the PC (since, as of this writing, USB 2.0 is supported on the Mac only by purchasing an add-in card, while FireWire ports are pervasive).
Note: Performance data is found on subsequent pages in this report; comments on this page are primarily about reader features and usability.
CompactFlash Card Reader Summary
CompactFlash Card Readers in Detail
Addonics FireWire Mini DigiDrive (FireWire)
For some reason, powered 6-pin FireWire ports are a rarity on PC laptops; instead, the few manufacturers that include a FireWire port at all generally opt for the unpowered 4-pin variety. This means that most FireWire CompactFlash card readers are literally powerless to work with most PC FireWire-capable laptops.
The Addonics FireWire Mini DigiDrive includes a workaround for this problem: in addition to a standard 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable, this reader is bundled with a cleverly-designed adapter cable that enables it to draw power from the USB port. Computers with a 4-pin FireWire port, then, are candidates for use with this FireWire reader, without resorting to the use of a powered FireWire hub.
The photo below shows how this works. One end of the adapter cable connects to one end of the standard 6-pin FireWire cable. The other end's twin connectors plug into the 4-pin FireWire and USB ports of the computer.
Adapter cable included with FireWire Mini DigiDrive
This is a smart idea that, in our testing, had only drawback: it didn't work reliably. When powered this way, the FireWire Mini DigiDrive would often fail to recognize that a card was inserted or would show a drive letter for only one of its two slots in My Computer.
We found that connecting the adapter cable to the computer's two ports first, then plugging the reader into the adapter, seemed to improve stability somewhat. Even then, however, the reader continued to be unusably flakey. We tried connecting the USB connector portion of the adapter cable to a powered USB hub. The flakiness continued.
When the Addonics FireWire Mini DigiDrive was connected to the same Alienware Area-51m PC through a powered FireWire hub (without the adapter cable rigamarole) it recognized cards and transferred photos without incident. It also trucked along without drama when connected to the 6-pin powered FireWire port of several different desktop and laptop Macs. But if our experience with the adapter cable is typical, this reader may not be a solution for Windows-based photographers saddled with 4-pin FireWire port computers.
Update, October 13, 2003: Additional testing with a total of three FireWire Mini DigiDrive readers and the Alienware Area 51-m produced the same result: extreme flakiness when the reader was powered from a USB port. Connecting to the FireWire and USB ports of a Dell Inspiron 8500, however, was a different story. Though one of the three readers (an early production unit) continued its flaky ways, the other two units work as advertised, no oddball behaviour whatsoever.
Update. October 28, 2003: Testing of the FireWire Mini DigiDrive with an additional 7 laptops revealed that quirky performance with some laptops is almost certainly a fact of life with this product, at least when attempting to power it from a USB port. Of the 7 Japanese market-only models we tried, all running Windows XP Home, 3 exhibited the same quirks as when connected to the Alienware Area-51m: the system wouldn't recognize a card had been inserted and would only show a drive letter for 1 of the reader's 2 card slots. As the October 13 update notes, we've had good success with this reader and a Dell Inspiron 8500. But we suspect it will be hit and miss with other laptop models when powered through the USB port. This reader remains a solid performer with a variety of computers when connected to a powered FireWire port, though. The potential for extreme flakiness kicks in only when the FireWire Mini DigiDrive is powered through its included USB adapter cable.
It's also worth noting that the CompactFlash slot on this reader is slightly narrow, which means that inserting and removing some cards is fussier than necessary until the slot is worn in a bit.
The Addonics FireWire Mini DigiDrive ships with a removable, 43 inch (109 cm), 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable, as well as a 6-pin to 4-pin FireWire + USB power adapter cable.
Addonics Pocket Ultra DigiDrive (USB 2.0 or FireWire)
Addonics likes to build readers with a twist, and the Pocket Ultra DigiDrive is no exception. This reader is the only one tested that is both Firewire and USB 2.0; mating a different cable to its proprietary rear connector is all that's required to switch from one to the other.
We tested this reader in its USB 2.0 guise (the reader is packaged with either a USB or FireWire cable). It's also billed as a multiformat reader, thanks to its PC Card slot, which means that virtually any media card for which there is a PC Card adapter should work in the Ultra DigiDrive. Though, as with other multiformat readers in this report, we evaluated only its handling of CompactFlash, in a CompactFlash-to-PC Card adapter.
Compared to some of the miniature readers available today, the Pocket Ultra DigiDrive is big. This can be an advantage for desktop use, since this means its more likely to stay put during the insertion and removal of cards. Given the multitude of smaller CompactFlash readers, however, we would be inclined to leave this reader at home when we travel with a laptop.
If you routinely need to handle formats other than CompactFlash, including PC Cards, or you sometimes work from computers with either a Firewire or USB 2.0 port (but not both), the Pocket Ultra DigiDrive is an interesting solution.
Proprietary connnector on Pocket Ultra DigiDrive
As tested, the Addonics Pocket Ultra DigiDrive ships with a removable 81 inch (206 cm) USB cable (with a proprietary connector at the reader end). A FireWire version of this reader is also available. You can also purchase each cable separately. This reader also accepts an external 5v DC power source, though a power supply is not included with the reader (external power should only be required when connecting to an unpowered FireWire port).
Alienware Area-51m PC Card slot
If you have a laptop with a PC Card slot, you may be tempted to use that as your primary card reader. After all, the reader is built into the computer, so what could be more convenient than that?
Well, as it turns out, just about any external FireWire or USB 2.0 card reader will be both more convenient, and quicker, than the typical PC Card slot in a Windows-powered laptop. The pokey transfer rates of our Alienware Area-51m test PC are in line with the benchmarking of other PC laptops we've done previously, so we're inclined to think that this is what you can expect from a Windows laptop's PC Card slot, give or take a few percentage points. Simply put, the PC Card slot is too slow, while today's best external card readers are up to about 5x faster.
In addition, we tired quickly of the multiple steps required to safely disentangle the card from the operating system. Though there are utilities that can streamline the eject process, nothing beats simply sliding the card out of the reader, which is all that's required with most or all FireWire and USB 2.0 card models. A built-in PC Card slot is a decent backup card reader, but we wouldn't use it as the primary method for moving photos to the computer.
Note: Shortly before this report was completed an interesting press release crossed our desk. Touting much faster transfer rates for CompactFlash cards in PC Card slots, the Aska Speed Over CF32A adapter incorporates special electronics absent in regular adapters. Unfortunately, the Speed Over CF32A is to be released only in Japan, and then only with support for the Windows platform. If the speed boost indicated on the Aska web site is typical of what the product will actually deliver, it would appear to be about as quick as the fastest readers tested for this report. Though we have corresponded with Aska, they did not respond to a request to try out the Speed Over CF32A in time for inclusion here.
Dazzle Hi-Speed Zio! (USB 2.0)
Manufactured by SCM Microsystems and sold under the Dazzle brand name, the USB 2.0 Dazzle Hi-Speed Zio! is purpose-built for road warriors. It's small but sturdy, and with its USB cable detached the reader's USB connector can be inserted directly into one of the USB ports of our test PC laptop.
When space has been tight in our travel kit we've left its USB cable at home and used the reader just this way. It makes the process of inserting and removing cards less convenient, but you can't beat how compact the reader is for transport.
The Dazzle Hi-Speed Zio! ships with a removable 44 inch (112 cm) USB cable, as well as Dazzle OnDVD, Windows-only software for creating photo slide shows on CD for playback in DVD players (this software ships with all Dazzle-branded card readers).
Removable cable and USB connector
Note: The case design of the Dazzle Hi-Speed Zio! is currently being revamped, making the reader slightly bigger. Follow the link above to see the non-removable clear plastic surround that has been added to protect media while it's inserted in the reader. The performance of the Hi-Speed Zio! is not expected to change with the new look.
Update, October 13, 2003: SCM Microsystems has divested itself of the Dazzle product line. A newly-formed company, Zio Corporation, has acquired the Dazzle digital media readers.
Lexar Media FireWire CF Digital Film Reader (FireWire)
Judging by the number of Lexar FireWire CF Digital Film Readers we've seen in circulation, it must rank among the most popular with professional digital photographers. Lexar's marketing muscle, and the fact that this was one of the first FireWire card readers to come to market, seems to have translated into a lot of Lexar FireWire CF units out there.
Actually manufactured by Datafab out of Taiwan, and sold by a number of different vendors including Lexar, we're on our fifth unit of this reader now. Our Unity Digital version died a long time ago, as did a variant from ADS Technologies. And, we've also gone through two from Lexar Media to date. So, if our experience is typical, this isn't much of a testament to the product's reliability.
We suspect that continually stuffing this reader into our laptop bag has put too much strain on the non-removable cable, since all four of the deceased units showed excessive wear at the point where the cable enters the reader (we try to only carry readers with removable cables now for that reason). And to be fair, the several units of this reader we've had longer, and used harder, than any other model in this report. Still, the failure rate has been high. If you're considering the Lexar FireWire CF Digital Film Reader, you might be well-advised to park it on your desktop and leave it there.
Countering reliability concerns is the fact that we've rarely, if ever, faced a compatibility problem with this reader: it seems to mount and transfer photos from just about any brand and model of card, including the several dozen cards that make up the CompactFlash Performance Database on this site.
The Lexar FireWire CF Digital Film Reader ships with a non-removable, 45 inch (114 cm), 6-pin FireWire cable.
Microtech FireWire CameraMate (FireWire)
Another product from SCM Microsystems, the Microtech FireWire CameraMate is fast, sturdy and looks good too. It lacks a removable FireWire cable, and therefore is potentially as susceptible to cable damage in an overstuffed travel kit as Lexar's FireWire reader. Both this reader and on older USB CameraMate have held up fine in our ongoing use, however.
We have experienced one difficulty worth noting: several of the cards represented in the CompactFlash Performance Database, from Transcend, Ritek/Ridata and Kingston, will not function in this reader. In addition, certain Lexar Write Acceleration models are tripped up by the FireWire CameraMate unless their firmware is upgraded.
It's often difficult to know whether to lay the blame for such compatibility problems at the feet of the card or reader. But the fact remains that we've had the greatest number of compatibility problems with this reader and the CompactFlash cards on hand here, across both Mac and PC platforms.
The FireWire CameraMate accepts an external 5v DC power source, though a power supply is not included with the reader (external power is only required when connected to an unpowered FireWire port). The Microtech FireWire CameraMate ships with a non-removable, 47 inch (119 cm), 6-pin FireWire cable.
Update, October 24, 2003: Pexagon Technology, a company formed in 2002 by former SCM Microsystems and Microtech employees, has adopted the Microtech name as its house brand. Pexagon's Al Conte indicates that the Microtech FireWire CameraMate is still a current product, as are other key products in the Microtech lineup, including CompactFlash cards.
Microtech Zio! (USB 1.1)
The original USB 1.1 Zio! is not officially included in this report, except to illustrate that it, like all other USB 1.1 readers, is just too darn slow for use in an efficient pro digital workflow. In fact, the quickest card in the quickest reader we tested delivered transfer rates to the computer over 8 times faster than the USB 1.1 Zio! USB 1.1 is the bottleneck, since the USB 2.0 variant of the reader, the Dazzle Hi-Speed Zio, is several times faster.
As an inexpensive backup reader, the original Zio is hard to beat, though, since when it's divested of its included USB cable this reader takes up little room in a laptop kit. With newer PC laptops (and desktops) incorporating USB 2.0 ports, the new Hi-Speed Zio! is a better backup choice (and is even worthy of consideration as the primary reader), though it is a few dollars more.
Photographers with older PC laptops, or any Mac user (since no Macs ship with USB 2.0 ports as standard equipment), will be served equally well by this model. But again, we recommend that you consider this or any other USB 1.1 reader as a backup in case your main reader goes down. Digital SLR files are too big, life is too short and FireWire and USB 2.0 card readers are too fast to consider doing anything else.
The Microtech Zio! ships with a removable 45 inch (114 cm) USB cable, and is also available under the Dazzle brand name. Moving forward, look for this reader available as a Dazzle product only.
Powerbook 15" G4/1GHz PC Card slot
Like the Alienware Area-51m, the PC Card slot in the Powerbook 15" G4/1GHz isn't able to keep pace with the external card reader speed leaders, though it does offer slightly better throughput than the Alienware laptop.
Since Mac OS X 10.2, various operating system quirks and problems have cropped up that make regular use of the PC Card slot as a card reader an iffy proposition. Inserting a CompactFlash card (in an adapter) usually causes the computer to freeze up for as much as about 30 seconds, though it does eventually thaw without a restart.
When transferring photos from the card to the computer using the Finder, the Mac can be all but unresponsive for other computing tasks. The problems are similar across older Powerbook G4/800 and Powerbook G4/400 models as well, running the same 10.2.6 operating system. In short, the PC Card slot currently isn't much good as a card reader until Apple fixes a myriad of apparent bugs. Fortunately, these same problems don't crop up with any of the external card readers tested.
Sandisk Ultra ImageMate (FireWire)
Designed to fit right in next to a Mac, the design of the Sandisk Ultra ImageMate card reader looks good and works well with computers from either platform. This reader's compact shape and removable FireWire cable make it a solid choice for photographers on the move. In fact, we typically use the Ultra ImageMate with a 6 inch FireWire cable in place of the longer one that ships with it.
Unfortunately, the early production unit we have is marred by a poorly-designed CompactFlash slot, one that makes it surprisingly difficult to insert cards so that they line up properly with the connector pins inside. In early March, Sandisk had indicated that a retooled Ultra ImageMate with an improved card slot would be rolling out later this year.
Update, October 24, 2003: The retooled version of this reader began shipping from Sandisk in early October 2003, though it may take some time for photo retailers to get in on their shelves. We've purchased and tested a retooled version, and can confirm that CompactFlash cards now slide in easily. Note that the packaging and other markings on the version of this reader with the redesigned card slot aren't different from the original version, making it tricky to know whether you're looking at a retooled unit or not.
The Sandisk Ultra ImageMate ships with a removable, 40 inch (102 cm), 6-pin to 6-pin FireWire cable.
Removable cable and 6-pin FireWire connector
Sandisk ImageMate 6 in 1 (USB 2.0)
This reader's four slots add up to support for 6 different storage media formats. The Sandisk ImageMate 6 in 1 can also be detached from its base and placed flat on the desk, for those who prefer a lower profile reader. As always, we look for transportability in a card reader; minus its base, and equipped with the super-short USB cable provided, this is a compact, easily-stored package. This reader is worth considering if you routinely handle formats other than CompactFlash.
The Sandisk ImageMate 6 in 1 ships with a removable 42 inch (107 cm) base/USB cable combo, as well as short USB cable for use with the reader outside the base.
Note: Of all the readers tested, only the Microtech Zio! (the original, USB 1.1 version) required the installation of driver software, and then only on the Mac. All other readers, across both platforms, are supported natively in the latest revs of Mac OS X and Window XP.

Goldman's Presence Will Be Felt at Tourre Trial
Goldman Sachs will cast a shadow over the civil trial of former executive Fabrice Tourre, which begins Monday.
When Fabrice Tourre heads to federal court Monday, the former Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executive will try to persuade jurors that he didn't mislead investors in a mortgage deal gone bad during the financial crisis.
Goldman settled with the Securities and Exchange Commission three years ago and won't be on trial with Mr. Tourre. But the civil case continues to cast a shadow over the firm—and vice versa.

SOUTH JAMAICA, NY - Sunday was the last day of iS8 pool play, also known as the first day of the iS8/Nike HS Tip-Off Classic to hardcore iS8 aficionados who expect the highest level of play on the regular.
NYCHoops.net was on hand to check out three of the highly anticipated games with playoff implications.
Juice All-Stars Top New Heights (Art), 77-74; Clinch Southwest
New Heights came out swinging as Jordan Fuchs (13 points & 8 rebounds) and Diamonte Zarba (6 points) paced their squad. In addition, New Heights' head coach Artie Cox received rebounding and scoring from an improved Joey dela Rosa (12 points & 4 rebounds). Perimeter shots by sharpshooters Ian Vasquez (15 points) and Isaiah Whitehead (22 points & 5 rebounds) would keep Juice within striking range until late arrivals Da'Shawn Suber (12 points) and 6'8"Tafari Whittingham (7 points, 2 rebounds & 2 blocks) could join in. New Heights would still manage to hold on to a 19-18 lead as the second quarter started.
As New Heights decided to live or die from the perimeter, Juice began to dominate inside, especially on defense and with 4:54 left in the half, Suber knotted the game at 21. New Heights countered but three balls by Trevonn Morton (9 points) followed by another from Vasquez would spark an 8-0 Juice run, giving them a 6 point lead. PG Ethan Telfair (8 points) would extend the Juice lead to 8 points before 6'7" Chris Ortiz (16 points, 12 rebounds & 1 block) could respond for New Heights.
Ortiz would reduce New Height deficit to 39-34 as the third quarter began but a dunk by Whittingham would top off another Juice run re-extending their lead back to 10 points with 6:21 left in the quarter.
New Heights began to lose traction as they deferred to unsuccessful perimeter shots in response to Juice's pressure defense from their guard heavy squad.
Coached by Jermaine Brown, Juice's lead was 63-49 to start the fourth and even though aggressive play by Fuchs and Ortiz would cut Juice's lead to a point with 1:10, the comeback energy expended was evident in missed free-throws down the stretch. As a result, Juice (players from Abraham Lincoln HS) would hold on for the win.
NIA Prep Outscore Shooting Stars, 60-52; In the Black
In a contest that would determine who would win the Black division it would be a game that was NIA Prep's from the second quarter on.
While the Shooting Stars had the bigness with Kentan Facey, Debonair Edwards and even a seven-footer, David Whitehorne, they were un-lucky quite literally.
NIA however was Lucky. Darrel Lucky that is. The diminutive, high scoring post grad guard was quite simply unstoppable as he led his team from being down by two to being up 42-24 at the end of three with buckets and steals.
In the fourth quarter, NIA would punt their lead up to 19 points and although the Shooting Stars would get the lead down to eleven with 2 minutes left to play, they were simply life support until the game ended due to lack of sufficient guard play.
If this were an experiment, it would prove that a backcourt heavy team beats a frontcourt heavy team. Lucky was the high scorer with 23 points but also notched assists to teammates including Evander Cruz who added 13 points. Edwards was the high man for the Shooting Stars with 12 points while Facey notched 11 points and 13 rebounds.
Panthers smash Starret City, 83-56 to own the Mideast
It's always wise to never underestimate Starret City no matter who they have on their team. They are usually tough, relentless and bring a certain swagga. For the first three quarters, this was the case as Ibra Toure (22 points) and Tyler Whitehead (11 points) gave Starret City the lead for the most of the first two quarters.
With a 1:49 left in the half, a basket by Nyheem Atkins (7 points) would leave the Panthers at an eight point disadvantage. Suddenly the tide would turn as buckets by St. John's commit Amir Garrett (21 points) and Melvin Johnson (28 points including 4 3-pointers) would give the Panthers a 37-36 lead.
To Starret City's credit they would remain close to the Panthers throughout the top of the third quarter and actually regained the lead briefly. The Panthers would then take their game to another level as Malik Nichols (16 points) soon tied the game at 50 and led them on a 14-0 run to end the quarter.
Down 64-50 to begin the fourth, things went from bad to worse as the Panthers ran a train on Starret City. With 6 minutes left to play, 7'0 Kansas State bound center, Laimonas Chatkevicius (6 points), extended the Panthers lead to 20 points. They would never look back on their way to a 27 point thrashing.
The playoffs will begin on Tuesday October 4th. Stay tuned to NYCHoops.net for updates and scheduling.

In case you've been living in a closet (without decent clothes in it), here's some incredibly chic news: Fashion Police is airing its 100th episode tonight on E! We can't let the moment pass without honoring one of our most inspirational and independent fashionistas: cohost Kelly Osbourne.
Nobody rocks a lavender 'do like Miss Kelly O—especially when she paired it with a matching mermaid-cut gown for the Emmy Awards. We love the silhouette of this stunning dress, especially with the youthful updo and daring manicure.
Osbourne also played off her lavender locks in a gray and white cocktail-length number for the Cosmopolitan Ultimate Women of the Year Awards in London. But our favorite recent look of hers has to be the middle shot of the daring Jean Charles de Castelbaljac futuristic design she wore just this week at the W Love Hangover Ball in New York. It's young. It's different. And it pops.
Just like Kelly herself.
Tune in to Fashion Police tonight at 10/9 c to watch Kelly, Joan Rivers, Giuliana Rancic and George Kotsiopoulos celebrate the 100th episode.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — U.S. Sen. John Boozman is undergoing surgery at an Arkansas hospital.
Boozman's office issued only a brief statement Tuesday morning saying the Republican "is receiving excellent care."
Boozman's staff wouldn't say what type of surgery the 62-year-old senator is having but that more information will be released later.
The state's junior senator had been scheduled for an 8 a.m. appearance in Gravette to discuss a highway project and health care. In the afternoon, he was to have spoken at a rural health center in Green Forest and at a housing agency in Harrison.

Denton blows out R.L. Turner, 51-18
The first game of the season ended with Denton on the wrong side of a closely contested seven-point road loss against Dallas Bishop Lynch with both the offense and defense looking unpolished.
But in the Broncos' home opener against Carrollton R.L. Turner on Friday night, they illustrated just how efficient both can be as they defeated the Lions 51-18.
Senior quarterback Cy Ward's command of the Broncos' offense was under full control as he missed only one pass on the night, spreading the ball around for 185 yards and four touchdowns on 14 completions. Meanwhile, Denton's backfield was led by sophomore running back Xavier Scott, who may be in line for more carries after his 135-yard performance on just 10 carries. The Broncos were outrushed 261-241, but it took the Lions 23 more carries to do so.
The Broncos' receivers on the end of Ward's passes showed they can deliver the game-changing plays that Denton head coach Kevin Atkinson was longing for after the 30-23 loss to Bishop Lynch.
"I thought we threw and caught the ball really well," Atkinson said. "I'm just proud that we were a fundamentally sound scoring machine. We scored a lot of touchdowns tonight, even though we had some called back on penalties. We were able to put 51 up on the board, but we have to get a lot better because we are playing in a very tough league in a few weeks."
Denton, which again had more than 100 yards in penalties, had several touchdowns called back for a variety of reasons, something Atkinson had hoped to conquer in this week's practice, but even with the penalties, the Broncos still showed their offensive dominance with a large variety of passing plays connecting.
Senior Deandre Coleman led the Broncos' wideouts with six catches and 111 yards with two touchdowns, while junior Key'andre Hearvey had 65 yard and also scored twice. Senior Ke'Von Buris also had a touchdown and 40 yards.
"The receivers played great," Ward said. "They ran crisp routes, but the main credit goes to up front. They protected really well tonight, and the only time we had pressure was when we were running. Key'andre had some good catches. AD [Adarian Harris] had a pretty good catch, and KB had some touchdowns taken away from him, but he kept trying. Deandre [Coleman] was playing amazing, and I love when he plays like that."
The Broncos have fallen victim to slow starts in the past, but that wasn't the case against R.L. Turner as they marched down the field on their first drive, using 11 plays and a 6-yard touchdown by senior Deavonte Doucet to give them a 7-0 lead just over three minutes into the game.
R.L. Turner looked as if they were going to quickly level the score, but Carlos Ramirez's lateral pass on Denton's 21-yard line was tipped and fell to the ground for a fumble, which was swiftly scooped up by senior linebacker Maurice Wharton for the 79-yard touchdown to give the Broncos the 14-0 advantage just under six minutes into the first quarter.
On the Lions' ensuing possession, they shot down the field again to the Denton 5-yard line, but again the Broncos were spry to the spot as Ramerez's slant look was picked off on the goal line by junior Gabriel Aranda.
Despite surrendering 504 total yards of offense to the Lions, the Broncos were defensively strong on several occasions and their third-down defense was much better than against Bishop Lynch.
"There was no quit," Atkinson said. "We didn't have any turnovers and we made them turn it over a few times. It was a good play by Maurice. We've got a lot of things to build on that's for sure."
Ward and the Broncos quickly went to the air, and it was Coleman who scored the first of his two first-half touchdowns on a reception in the right flats, using his speed to beat his defender with a dive to the pylon for the 10-yard score that put Denton up 21-0 early in the second quarter.
After the Lions' got on the board with a 35-yard field goal, Denton needed just five plays to take a 28-3 lead with 7:50 left in the half. Junior Key'andre Hearvey hauled in the 24-yard touchdown from junior back up quarterback Christian Rodriguez after dropping a similar throw in the end zone on the previous play.
The Lions then fumbled again on their next possession, which instantly gave way to a 34-yard Coleman touchdown to give the Broncos a decisive 35-3 advantage.
R.L. Turner was able to score with less than four minutes left in the half on a 2-yard touchdown by running back Bruttus Walters to make it 35-10 and looked to get back in the game with a deep drive to start the second half. But they were stymied on fourth-and-2 at the Denton 5-yard line.
The Broncos then took just three plays to punch in a Hearvey's second touchdown of the game and secure the victory.

The sky over parts of Michigan and Wisconsin looked downright eerie Monday night, as storm clouds began to sag with enormous yellow bubbles that appeared ready to burst and flood the land.
Facebook user Joe Nottage, of Menominee, Michigan, posted the accompanying images with the question: "Can anyone explain this?"
NOAA Meteorologist Jeff Last saw the photo and identified the unique cloud formation, via Twitter, as mammatus. Last also tweeted a similar image captured over Spread Eagle, Wisconsin.
"More mammatus from last eve's storm. This one from Spread Eagle, Wisc., by Larry Warren," reads the tweet.
It turns out, these bizarre cloud formations are somewhat rare and mysterious.
The American Meteorological Society describes mammatus clouds as "an intriguing enigma of atmospheric fluid dynamics and cloud physics," and added that they're most commonly observed beneath anvil-shaped thunderclouds.
On the rarity of these formations, the AMS stated: "Despite their aesthetic appearance, mammatus have been the subject of few quantitative research studies," and that "observations have been obtained largely through serendipitous opportunities."
Weather.com states that mammatus clouds are formed when ice crystals fall from the cumulonimbus cloud's anvil. "The ice crystals sublimate, or change from ice to water vapor as they fall, causing the surrounding air to thermodynamically cool. The cooled air becomes negatively buoyant and begins to sink, producing the punched-out look indicative of the mammatus cloud."
To be sure, the precise dynamics are complex, with an end result that can be both menacing and surreal.
Stated Last, the NOAA meteorologist, via email: "They are sometimes ominous in appearance, but are harmless and do not mean that severe weather is necessarily going to occur. In fact, they are usually seen after the worst of a storm has passed."
Of Nottage's photos, Last stated the obvious: "Mammatus lit by a setting sun result in spectacular images."

Staff and wire report
NEW YORK — Police have shut down a New York City nightclub where singer Chris Brown and rapper Drake's entourage got into a bottle-throwing brawl.
A New York Police Department spokeswoman says the club W.i.P, on Vandam Street in the city's SoHo neighborhood, was closed Saturday night because of code violations. The NYPD gave no details on the violations.
Chris Brown, his girlfriend and his bodyguard were among eight injured during the fight inside the club last week. Police say members of Drake's entourage stopped Brown as he was leaving. The fight escalated and bottles were thrown.
Spurs star Tony Parker says he suffered a scratched cornea during the brawl. The injury has delayed his Olympic training with the French national team for a week.
Drake's representatives say he was on his way out when the fight began and did not injure anyone. Brown spoke to police.
According to the New York Times, the basement-level club was hosting a birthday party for the manager of the R&B star Ne-Yo.
Tensions have been high between Brown and Drake because both have dated Rihanna, and Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting her in 2009 while they were still dating.
Correction: Spurs guard Tony Parker suffered a scratched cornea June 13 at a night club in New York. Because of incorrect information from the Associated Press, stories on Monday's page B8 and Friday's page D4 of the Express-News and on mySA.com misrepresented the injury.

Did you get a chance to vote yet? If you'd like to – and we sincerely hope you will — you've got two days left before the PCA polls officially close. That's 48 hours' worth of pure, unadulterated you-control-the-future & you-determine-the-People's-Choice -Winners opportunity. Plus, today and tomorrow we'll be examining the illustrious careers of our final two Favorite Movie Actress nominees. But before we get there, just a quick note on a little movie I caught this weekend that you might want to check out. It's called The King's Speech and it's based on a true story set in England right at the beginning of World War II. Colin Firth plays the man who unwittingly ascends to the throne of England (can't say why, that's part of the movie) who also has a very pronounced stammer which paralyzes him with fear whenever he addresses a crowd. Since the whole public speaking thing is pretty much at the top of a King's Job description (or any Miscellaneous Monarch, for that matter) Firth's character finds himself in a terrible bind. So, he calls upon a speech therapist and the rest is, in addition to actual history, a very, very good film. If you're not totally familiar with Colin Firth, he was the good guy in Bridget Jones' Diary. If you can see it, do – although The King's Speech might be sorta tricky to find right now. It will however go wide in theaters once a) word of mouth spreads and b) Firth wins the Oscar, which I predict will absolutely happen. So there's that. The whole thing's fantastic and for those of us with-less-than-stellar attention spans it's nicely paced even though it's em, English (sometimes they can plod along intelligently with the gorgeous meadows and next thing you know someone's shaking you awake and there's popcorn everywhere. Hasn't that happened to you?) Thus if you'd like to be ahead of the curve in the awesome new flick department, do not miss The King's Speech.
Now let's get to our voting. Last week, we looked at three of the Favorite Movie Actress nominees (Aniston, Heigl, Jolie) and today we'll discuss the fourth. People's Choice Award-winner Julia Roberts won hearts the world over with Pretty Woman, and her 100-watt smile has been a permanent fixture in our entertainment consciousness ever since. The girl from a small Georgia town (whose big brother Eric kicked off the family acting bug) would soon become one of the most well-known, prolific and highly-paid actresses on this earth. Plus she's a mom several times over. Oh and there's an Oscar in there too. Roberts has worked with virtually every Hollywood leading man, she's as compelling in a dramatic role as she is facile and charming in comedy, and she has yet to show any signs of slowing down. Now let's get to her films, which are many, many, — so feel free to add your picks if they're not here. Voice your choice in today's featured poll, take a peek at the movies listed and tell us which one of these Julie Roberts films is your favorite:
1) Eat Pray Love
2) Erin Brockovich
3) Notting Hill
4) Pretty Woman

Samsung Galaxy S III vs HTC Rezound
The Samsung Galaxy S III and HTC Rezound sport an 8MP autofocus camera with LED flash. Images that we took outside with the Galaxy S III have neutral colors and good detail, while the Rezound produced over-saturated colors, and both have a tendency to over expose bright areas. For indoor images, the Galaxy S III had less grain and looked more in-focus than ones from the Rezound. The LED Flash is plenty bright on both phones, but the flash images from the Rezound have a bit of a purple hue to them.
Samsung Galaxy S III Sample Video:
HTC Rezound Sample Video:
Between them, we are more pleased with the accurate and neutral colors produced by the Galaxy S III for pictures, and also more detail with videos, than the over saturated colors and less detail from the Rezound.
The music player on the Samsung Galaxy S III and HTC Rezound are equally nice and have similar functionality. The Galaxy S III includes a standard set of earbuds, while the Rezound comes with a set of premium iBeats earbuds, which is to be used with the Beats Audio intergraton. But honestly, both sets of earbuds sound good. Turning on the Beast Audio on the Rezound does give music a nice fullness to it (compared to having it set to off), but there are a ton of preset and manual EQ settings on the Galaxy S III that can accomplish the same thing.
Of course, both phones can play pretty much any video file you can through at it up to 1080p resolution; including H.263/H.264 encoded MP4s and DivX files. Naturally, the 4.8" Super AMOLED screen on the Galaxy S III is a real treat to watch videos on, but the Rezound looks almost as good at a smaller size.

next they will go "iphone 4s vs galaxy s 1 "
9. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3130; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
In PA's defense....THEY ARE BOTH THE SAME PRICE. So yes I think it's fair to compare the two if they ARE THE SAME PRICE ON CONTRACT.
It clearly shows that Verizon needs to lower their price on the Rezound, like now.
31. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
I dont know....a comparison is a comparison, regardless.
Just the pics on the 1st page alone tell my story. I hate the Rezound screen. It really does look washed out next to an Amoled screen. Its too reflective and has bad viewing angles. Its like the brightness and contrast is cranked up too high.
Anytime I can see myself in it almost like a mirror vs my RAZR....its no good for outdoor viewing.
41. dmckay12 (Posts: 243; Member since: 25 Feb 2012)
While I would not trade my Rezound for just about anything, I agree about outdoor viewing. There is a lot of reflecting (though I and everyone else loves seeing my face) and it is annoying. I could not use it on the way to my car ever. I think that the screen is great. It is much better than my Mom's Razr to watch movies on.
2. ajac09 (Posts: 1482; Member since: 30 Sep 2009)
such a miss match but I guess its putting the "old" vs the new. The rezond 2 aka the htc x one for Verizon should be out in a few months
11. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
at this point Verizon just needs an all new One variant. still plenty of letters in the Alphabet.

hallo. i want to say that you maybe make a mistake. In AN TU TU benchmark the score is from 10560-12156. Never less. I have the SGS 3 EU and i check it again. And in Quadrant from 5000-5590. I have before htc,nokia,sony ericsson. Sgs3 its realy in the top of the phone market!! i dont know what else you need from a phone today. bye.
6. FAUguy (Posts: 78; Member since: 09 Apr 2008)
The US version is dual core, that is why the benchmarks are lower than the quad core EU model.
23. nnaatthhaannx2 (Posts: 820; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
Question on how PA works:
Do you guys share the phones for review, or do you do one phone per person? How does it work with you guys since there is no "office".
14. pmgvsa5 (Posts: 2; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
ok thanks for the information.i did not see that its another model.
5. Markizzle21 (Posts: 30; Member since: 28 Dec 2011)
Dumbest comparison this is not even interesting
7. BiN4RY (Posts: 83; Member since: 22 Jun 2012)
What a pointless comparison
8. Cyan3boN (Posts: 446; Member since: 23 Feb 2012)
the rezound has a more premium feel to it and scores in ergonomics too.
10. rferrerca (Posts: 2; Member since: 18 Jul 2012)
As european reader of phonearena, It would be nice to show also units of weight, height, width and fatness in international units, as not all your readers are American... Thanks
36. OptimusOne (Posts: 694; Member since: 22 May 2012)
isn't phonearena based in america. just because european people live in america, does it mean we have to convert to inte3rnational units whie you are here?
12. markreif (Posts: 8; Member since: 01 Dec 2011)
What BS - anyone with any "Sense" at all would take the Rez - S-OFF it and load something like NeWts zOnE XxX RLS 3.2.1 BLUE ROM before lining it up against Samsungs latest and greatest. I'd venture to guess that the conclusion would in fact be significantly different. And for what it's worth - you couldn't pay me to switch my as is described Rezound for the GSIII....
15. OptimusOne (Posts: 694; Member since: 22 May 2012)
Regardless of what you think
The average consumer will probably not be able load a custom ROM
Remember Phone arena is aimed for average consumers a and iPhone fanboys
Not hardcore android modders
32. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Even tho I have a Droid 1 that I put a load of ROMs on, I had a G nex....
I have yet to even root me Rezound. I had it since Jan this year.
A phone with a custom ROM vs a stock phone is never a good or fair comparison. Like the post above me says....these comparisons are and should be meant for the general public.
13. mas11 (Posts: 1034; Member since: 30 Mar 2012)
I'm really looking forward to the SGSIII vs. the RAZR HD comparison. That should be quite the epic battle.
16. nnaatthhaannx2 (Posts: 820; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
[[Hey guys, I think the Rezound is better!]]
What's the point?
If you look at it, the SGS3 is really the only phone to get on VZW. If you say it's not comparable to the Rezound or the Razr ["and no where close to the iPhone"], what phone is to compare?
For people buying phones, this is actually a good comparison.
17. preet27in (banned) (Posts: 173; Member since: 07 Jul 2012)
what??? r u serious? this aint any comparison. old phone with old hardware vs a whole new breed.? sammy fades in front of one x. compare that.... lcd ips is better in nyways. some idiot sammy fanboy might have posted this comparison. grow up!!!1
33. jroc74 (Posts: 6019; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
It does show a con for the Rezound screen tho. It really does look washed out like that next to an Amoled screen in certain situations.
18. shaxar (Posts: 7; Member since: 23 Dec 2011)
If sound quality is what you want out of a phone (in addition to what was compared here), I don't see how both phones being @ the $199 price point, yet one coming with $100 ear buds in the box... how is that not automatically the better deal? Guess it just depends on what you're looking for in a phone...
19. bambamboogy02 (Posts: 721; Member since: 23 Jun 2012)
I have a rezound, and was thinking about what the differnces actually are between the two. I had a chance to play with the SG3 and i still like my rezound a little better since I do read on my phone a lot. The smaller print looks better on the Rezound. There are people who own the OLDER phones, and would like to know what the differnces happen to be with the NEWER models. Even if you think phonearena is dumb for comparing these, I have a question for you:
Why did you take time out of your day to comment on how stupid this article is?
Quit being cry babys because you personally think something is stupid. All comparisons give good info to everyone about old and new phones. So take it for informative material and give it a rest.
20. cakell09 (Posts: 2; Member since: 21 Jul 2012)
My girlfriend has had the Rezound since it came out, and it's a really solid (literally and figuratively) phone. Yeah it's heavy and as PA mentioned, the weight isn't for everyone. It's not perfect, and I'm hoping to see some fixes with 4.0 (and 4.1 which is sure to come soon after, or at least in 2043). I've used the S3 quite a bit, and while I do like the feel of it, and the screen is EXTREMELY vibrant, they've been having quite a bit of issues with the paint chipping and cracking. This isn't too big of a concern for me because I'm more interested in function than fashion, but both phones are very nice. Yes, the S3 will win in a lot of benchmarks, it's a good phone. It also comes 4.0 out of the box. I'm one of the few people who still like sense nowadays apparently, so I still prefer the Rezound. But... Samsung makes one helluva phone.
21. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5713; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
you'd probably be more interested in the Incredible 4G LTE then since it uses the same S4 processor that the SIII has sans a few MHz and Sense 4.0 which naturally comes with ICS.
i personally don't mind the weight myself. it makes the phone feel more premium, sturdy & substantial to me.
22. joey18 (Posts: 615; Member since: 20 Jul 2010)
Two weeks we the phone drop easy wifi and 4g always on 3g i hate svoice dont know anythin in spanish only 6 thins i wan to root to jelly bean my question is when jelly bean update is coming
24. ricky0702 (Posts: 11; Member since: 09 Jul 2012)
Fantastic phone. Received my white 16GB pre-order yesterday, and have been having fun with it ever since. I'm impressed with the battery life considering it's using the battery-hogging 4G LTE signal. Speaking of which, I am coming from a 3G phone and I have to say that 4G is a godsend; I live in Riverside County, CA and get great 4G signal -- this thing loads web pages just as fast as a high quality WiFi connection. The display is beautiful and is usable in direct sunlight.
25. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
This is a useless comparison. The Galaxy S3 PIMP SLAPS THIS RAZR MAX and the other useless HTC REZOUND...

Yanks secure plethora of talent in Draft
First two picks signal club's willingness to select best players
By Willie Bans / MLB.com
With their top two selections, the Yankees nabbed players who probably fell to them because of different concerns.
First-round pick Gerrit Cole, a right-handed pitcher from Orange Lutheran High School in Orange, Calif., said that he will discuss with his family and advisers, which includes agent Scott Boras, about whether to sign a contract with the Yankees or fulfill his letter of intent with UCLA.
But Cole, taken No. 28 overall, has a "talent level just too good to pass on," Yankees director of scouting Damon Oppenheimer said.
"Signability is something we try to evaluate last," Oppenheimer said. "We're the Yankees. We have to get talent."
New York used its No. 44 compensation selection on pitcher Jeremy Bleich, a Stanford University lefty who played just five games for the Cardinal this season while battling an elbow injury from March to mid-May.
Oppenheimer said Bleich should be fine.
"We had the medicals done," Oppenheimer said. "There was a strained ligament in the elbow in the middle of the season. They rehabilitated it. He was back. The last two times we saw him pitch, he was throwing 92-93 mph. There was never any detachment in the ligament.
"His rehab and what we saw coming back on the velocity allowed us to think we were safe doing this."
Ultimately, the Yankees, whose 51 picks favored college players -- 35-16 over high school players -- and pitchers -- 26-25 over hitters -- had a simple strategy:
"Just try to line them up and take the best available guy that gets to us," Oppenheimer said. "Talent is the thing that overrides everything for us. When a guy like Cole got down to where we were, and with the power arm he has and the progress that he continues to make, this guy does have a chance to be a high-end starter.
"We just went along with the board and took what we thought was the best kid available."
Yankees' top five selections
|Gerrit Cole
|Orange Lutheran HS (Calif.)
|Jeremy Bleich
|Stanford U
|Joseph Bittle
|U of Mississippi
|David Adams
|U of Virginia
|Corban Joseph
|Franklin HS (Tenn.)
|Complete Yankees Draft results >
Oppenheimer, who said he was surprised that New York's first two picks fell to them, sees the team's six first-day selections as eventual impact players.
Of second-round pick (No. 75 overall), Joseph Bittle, a right-handed pitcher from the University of Mississippi who had a 1.78 ERA and 130 strikeouts this season, Oppenheimer said: "His stats are absolutely silly. He's got two really quality offspeed pitches: a slider and a changeup. He throws a 90-93-mph fastball, and he should move through the system at an accelerated pace. His strikeout numbers are pretty incredible."
On David Adams, a third-round selection (No. 106 overall) and a second baseman from the University of Virginia who batted .286 with six home runs and 51 RBIs in 2008, Oppenheimer said: "He's had a down year. We saw some things in his stroke that they had made changes to at the college level that we run into quite a bit. That didn't work for him. We looked at a lot of film of him at high school and the [Cape Cod League]. We're hoping to get this guy back, and if we can get him back to what we saw, we feel we got a guy that at one time was ranked very high."
Of fourth-rounder (No. 140 overall) Corban Joseph, a shortstop from Franklin High School (Tenn.) who hit 15 home runs and had 58 RBIs this season, Oppenheimer said: "This kid's a really advanced high school hitter. We really like his bat. We're not sure if he stays at shortstop, but he can hit, he has power and he's an average runner."
Of fifth-rounder (No. 170 overall) Christopher Smith, a shortstop from Centennial High School in California who hit .708 this season, Oppenheimer said: "He's another guy who can really hit and has power potential."
Brothers: Twelfth-rounder Luke Greinke, a right-handed pitcher who had 26 career victories for Auburn University, is the brother of Kansas City pitcher Zack Greinke.
Oppenheimer said Luke has also been a position player, but "we think once we make him to a full-time pitcher, you're going to get a guy who's pretty good."
Final breakdown: The Yankees nabbed three first basemen, two second basemen, one third baseman, six shortstops, one left fielder, three center fielders, four right fielders and one player who can play any outfield position.
