nacworld is the social networking website of the New Apostolic Church International, and enables Christians from all over the world to come into contact. It is geared towards members of the New Apostolic Church. Members of other churches or religious communities are also welcome to join. The platform is open to all who are interested.
The idea for nacworld arose during the preparations for the European Youth Day (EYD), held by the New Apostolic Church from May 21-24, 2009 in Düsseldorf, Germany. The project application from October 2006 states, "In an interview in Johannesburg in 2006, the Chief Apostle spoke of the importance of interacting with others in the New Apostolic community in order to awaken a feeling of pride in being New Apostolic among young members. Our vision is to enable youth members in Europe and all over the world to form and maintain contacts beyond national boundaries ..."
In October 2007, youth members from various New Apostolic Church districts first met in Heidelberg. They discussed the design, programming languages, legal and data protection issues, organisational structure, marketing, and many other issues. After one year of preparation, the platform went online on November 1, 2008, sponsored by the EJT gGmbH. By the EYD in May of 2009, nacworld had already become an important means of forming contacts between participants. Since then, nacworld has continued to offer new features. In January of 2010, the New Apostolic Church International in Zurich, Switzerland assumed sponsorship for nacworld.

New Apostolic Church
The New Apostolic Church is an international, Christian Church. The foundation for its teachings is the Bible. It developed out of the Catholic-Apostolic Church in 1863 and since then is led by Apostles, as were the first Christian congregations. The return of Christ as well as vocation and brotherly love are central to the New Apostolic teaching.
The New Apostolic Church emphasises the concept of self-responsibility. Each individual is accountable for his or her actions before God. The Gospel and the values contained in the Ten Commandments are the foundation for guiding one´s actions.
The New Apostolic Church is politically neutral and independent, and is financed by voluntary member contributions.
It currently has almost 11 million members worldwide.

Tips for Traveling With Your Pet

|Cat Play Benefits Health
How to Play With Your Cat: Maximize Your Bond While Improving His Health and Well-Being, suggests specific reasons for cat play, including:
Do you talk with your veterinarian during visits about ways to help your cat keep moving around your home or yard? If yes, give yourself a fish-flavored treat. If no, well, add talking with your doctor to your "priority list."
Your doctor will help you create a home program to ensure exercise and activity that will interest your cat. Your cat will be entertained and the bond between you will deepen.
Keeping your cat active can help it burn calories and use muscles, tendons and ligaments that may often be seen catnapping. Burning calories is important for your cat. The more your cat moves and exercises, the more calories it will expend during the activity. Exercise will help to off-set the naps taken in your favorite chair and help to prevent obesity.
Exercise methods your doctor recommends will depend on your cat's current level of activity, health, age and medical condition. Indoor cats probably need more encouragement and support with exercise. You'll want to consider several methods to get your cat moving and grooving. Then, you'll want to shake up the sequence when you play.
Pet Weight Loss by veterinarian Jan Becker discusses pet exercise for owners of cats and dogs. "Cats on the other hand can be a bit harder to exercise," says Dr. Becker. Get your cats moving with cold laser lights flashed onto objects to interest them - but not in their eyes. Wiggle stuffed animals, move them sneakily to get your cat's interest and increase the attraction of pouncing, sneaking, hiding or batting at the soft toy.

Red Sox - 000 010 100 - 2 9 0Lester (6-6-5-3-4, 100) faltered in the fifth inning, with Justin Morneau's three-run line drive home run to right being the big blow. Lester's ERA rose to 6.07.
Twins - 000 050 00x - 5 7 1
Jacoby Ellsbury scored both Red Sox runs. He also singled to begin the game, and extend his hit streak to 21 games. He stole two bases and made a tremendous diving catch in deep right-center in the fifth inning, before the Twins did their damage. He scored on Dustin Pedroia's double in the fifth and on an infield error in the seventh.
David Ortiz doubled to right center in his first time up and walked in the fourth. He finished his night with a strikeout and pop out to left.
The Minnesota fifth: Brendan Harris singled, Delmon Young lined out to deep center, Matt Tolbert singled, Nick Punto singled (RBI), Denard Span grounded out to second (RBI), Joe Mauer walked, Morneau homered (3 RBI), Michael Cuddyer grounded out to third.

Jon Lester (5.91, 83 ERA+) / Nick Blackburn (3.83, 112 ERA+)
Lester and Blackburn hooked up back on July 8, 2008; Boston won the game 6-5. It was the last appearance each pitcher had against the opposing team.
Jacoby Ellsbury's hitting streak has reached 20 games, but he's not having a good year at the plate. His slash stats since the streak began on May 2: .330/.365/.418 for a .782 OPS -- which is below what Nick Green has done this season (.794). LBJ has collected only one hit in nine of his last 11 games: .275/.310/.350.
Ellsbury has drawn five walks during the streak (96 PA). He has walked only 10 times all year, in 201 PA. In five fewer trips to the plate, Jason Bay has walked 24 more times (34 in 196).
Ellsbury's season stats are .300/.333/.374 for a paltry 79 OPS+. (For reference: Jeff Bailey is at 86 and Julio Lugo is at 73.) Lyndon has led off in all but three of Boston's 45 games and the Red Sox are 9th in the AL in leadoff batter OBP.
Finally, in his 12 stolen base attempts during the streak, he has been caught four times.
My suggested lineup for tonight (Lowell has a scheduled night off):
I'm not crazy about Ellsbury batting 6th, but if he was on first base, Tek and Lugo might get some tasty fastballs.R - Pedroia, 2B

I use pens in my office, but at home I use pencils for most things (some of you may remember my tribute to an old friend).
I still haven't found a good pencil sharpener, either (the new X-Acto one we got is a POS).
So I was glad to learn of Mr. David Rees. This former political cartoonist quit his job to pursue a lifelong dream of being a professional pencil sharpener. I am not joking.
Now, I can't afford $17 for a hand sharpened pencil, but I have to respect someone for finding a career that hadn't existed before him.
Here's his site. Check it out. Even if you don't buy a pencil, it's worth the entertainment.
(Disclaimer- I don't know Mr. Rees at all, nor was I paid to put this up. But I do like his idea.)

This is the week that Google's "Project Glass" team is selecting who gets a pair of Google Glasses before they go on sale to the general public.
Many of the early winners had their invitations rescinded because Google (accidentally?) chose applicants with proposals such as "I'd cut a bitch!" and "I would promise not to record/take pictures of my poop, no matter what." We now believe, however, that Google's apparent strategy of picking winners by letting monkeys throw darts at a computer screen has been replaced with something more exhaustive.
As proof, we submit the fact that our own editor-in-chief Ken Fisher got the nod this morning:
I'm pretty furious that Google didn't select my proposals to use Glass to "fly to Melmac and record the journey" and "to randomly choose the winners of a contest," but I suppose the Ars Boss Man getting a pair of the glasses will have to do for now. Which brings us to you: how should Mr. Fisher use this contraption?
We can't promise Ken will do absolutely everything readers suggest, but we want to hear your ideas for the most useful ways he might put Google Glass to work. Oh, hell, just send us your most insane ideas too. (We'll find out in a couple of weeks when Google plans to send the Glasses to contest winners.)
For inspiration, here's a video:
Use the comments to tell us how Ken should use his futuristic glasses! Ken is already planning on exploring how Glass might change the job of being a writer and editor, in a collaborative environment (we collaborate, we really do!). And he's even promising to wear them to the gym (but not in the locker room, of course).

Harden, while no stud just yet, would have been an interesting addition. He's only 21 and still on his rookie contract. He has a legitimate position and can create for himself. This year for OKC, Harden scored more and had more assists per 36 minutes than Green. Green, even though he played down low, only had 1 more rebound per 36. Of course Harden is a few years younger, so you'd expect his ceiling to be higher as well. Who knows what type of player Harden will become, but this is definitely an interesting sub plot to "The Trade."
Simmons and Grande both seem to think that Presti made the wise move holding on to Harden. Interestingly enough this is not the first time that Presti and Ainge made a trade that could have been much different. The original Ray Allen trade had Presti asking for Rondo instead of Delonte. Ainge said he'd make the switch as long as Presti included Robert Swift. Presti declined and Ainge dodged a bullet.
Now by no means am I saying that Harden will become Joe Johnson and Jeff Green will be out of the league like Kedrick Brown. Green is already infinitely better than Brown was and Harden, while still very young, has a ways to go before anyone thinks of him as an all-star. That said, I do believe that James Harden is a better prospect and building block than Jeff Green is. I don't think either would have been worth sacrificing this season for, but that's my personal opinion. But hypothetically moving forward would you rather have Jeff Green or James Harden?

By Cablecop on Sunday, February 04, 2018My Escape is a 2016. Built in Kentucky. I have over 30,000 miles on it already. The wife and I are very happy with it. We are 67 years old and we shopped for small SUVs 60 miles south and 50 miles north. The milage is what continues to truly make us happy. Most driving is highway on cruise. We get 30-31 mph. The model is a SE with eco-boost. This model year has a very comfy full power drivers seat. The passenger seat is not power and is not as comfy. Remember, the car is now 3 years old and I read that the interior is even nicer. The rear cargo area with seats folded down is surprisingly, quite large. The paint job is a beautiful pearlescent deep white. The quietness on the highway surprised us. It came with Michelin X Green tires. So far no visible wear! You can adjust the tail gate to go up only as much as you like. 3 different buttons to raise or close it. On the outside door pillar is a keypad which lights up to open. Good if you lock your keys in the car, (and remember your code) Tire pressure warning if low. Very nice Sync 3. My model year on the SE did not come with GPS. Only 2 wishes. Better passenger seat and GPS. These probably are on the 2018. Avery nice car.

Love it so far
By Blitz on Thursday, September 19, 2019I had a 2010 Honda CR-V and it was a good SUV but getting old. I was going to buy another CR-V but they are having tons of problems now. If you look at Carcomplaints you will know what I am talking about. When researching the true-cost and similar tools to figure out what the best value is they never take in effect Dealer discounts and rebates. They show up on the lower trade in value for the final cost but they use the MSRP for initial cost. I bought a 2019 Escape SE for $8,000 off sticker. The similar equipped CR-V would cost $10,000 more easy. I have a lot of options including heated seats, XM radio, Keyless start and controls from Iphone. It has 911 assist and 2 years maintenance included (42,000 points) Will it last 200,000 miles probably not but I do not want to drive the same thing for 15 years anyway. I love it and it gets 32 mpg on the highway trips and 28 average. I have the 1.5 turbo so I do run the 89 octane because it makes this little lawnmower engine run like a v6. For the money you can not beat it. Would I buy it for MSRP? No way because at the end of the day its a throw away SUV but I think today's CR-Vs and RAV4s are throw away also and they do not discount them much. Ford = lower initial cost and lower resale or Toy & HO higher initial cost and higher resale. I think at the end of the day its a wash and I am keeping my $10K in the stock market.
Price does not include licensing costs, registration fees, taxes and dealer doc fee of $699 which are to be paid by the consumer.

"Book of Mormon" already breaks record in London
NEW YORK The seemingly unstoppable hit "The Book of Mormon" has broken another record this time on the other side of the Atlantic.
The quirky, profane musical opened Thursday night to some critical bashing, but the next day earned the highest one-day gross in London theater history.
Between 10 a.m. and midnight Friday, 2.1 million pounds ($3.2 million) was taken in at the box office, according to preliminary estimates. By comparison, the Broadway version only earned $1.5 million the day after it opened to rapturous reviews. Finals numbers in London are expected overnight.
"London can be tough," Scott Rudin, an influential theater and film producer who has steered "The Book of Mormon," said by phone Friday night after flying back from England. "American musicals tend to get knocked in the teeth in London, by and large. It's a tougher place."
The show is now booked at the Prince of Wales Theatre until January, but Rudin predicts it may be in London for a long time to come.
To put the staggering one-day take in perspective, the highest single-week gross in the West End from another Yankee show, "Wicked" was just over 1 million pounds over nine productions during the final week of 2010.
"The Book of Mormon" by "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone and "Avenue Q" composer Robert Lopez tells the story of two Mormon missionaries sent to spread the word in Uganda.
In New York, "The Book of Mormon" won nine Tony Awards in 2011, including best musical. The show also won a Grammy Award and recouped its $11.4 million capitalization after just nine months. It remains the toughest ticket to get on Broadway.
A production has opened in Chicago it set a house record for the Bank of America Theatre and has been extended three times until September and a national tour kicked off in August in Denver, where it has broken box office records as it crosses the country.
The tour is currently in Detroit where it already has broken the Fisher Theatre's house record for a standard eight-performance week through the weekend, and then goes to Pittsburgh, Boston, Toronto, Cleveland and Washington, D.C.
In London, most critics praised the production's skill and the English cast's energy, though some were left uncharmed, including the Daily Mail critic, who "tired of it after 10 minutes." The Guardian called it "mildly amusing."
Rudin said despite some grousing by London critics, the crowds have been enthusiastic, particularly the English fans of "South Park." Pent-up demand for the show has been roiling since the New York opening. And, unlike in New York, London audiences knew what to expect.
Though Rudin admits he was anxious in the days leading to the London opening, he recognized that the show's humor jokes about African dictatorships, AIDS and poverty would translate.
"The story and humor of `The Book of Mormon' is deeply influenced by Monty Python's Flying Circus," he said. "I knew that would work over there."
The West End has just enjoyed its ninth successive year of record box office returns and attendance went up slightly in 2012 to 13.9 million. This season, in addition to "The Book of Mormon," the West End is hosting the musicals "Once" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Family" and plays with Helen Mirren and by John Logan.
Rudin, who has also produced the films "No Country for Old Men" and "The Social Network," has been busy on Broadway this season, putting on the Scarlett Johansson-led "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" revival and the upcoming "The Testament of Mary."

| Taking an Exercise Break
| Exercise breaks happen. Sometimes we schedule a week-long break - for example, at the end of a 12-week training cycle. At other times life intervenes, and our exercise intentions go out the window.
We want exercising to be a lifelong commitment, something we've taken on for the long term. This is distinct from the binge exerciser, who periodically "wants to get in shape", struggles for a month or two, and then quits.
If we're in it for the long haul, we can withstand a break here and there, even a prolonged month-long break if necessary. We've built a strong base. Our bodies are trained. Our muscular functions are optimized for performance. So, while we don't really want to take a break, we're prepared physically to get back in shape quickly.
Bottom line - if you need to take a holiday break from exercising, go ahead. If you're a regular exerciser, you can take a week or two off secure in the knowledge that you won't have lost that much. You'll recover quickly and possibly even recover to a higher level of fitness.

There has been another twist in the story of Dell CEO Michael Dell's quest to take the company he founded private. Already facing a backlash from Dell's biggest stockholders over the terms of the bid that he and private equity firm Silver Lake have made for the company, there are now two rival bids to contend with. The first comes from a group led by infamous corporate raider Carl Icahn with another led by asset management company Blackstone Group. And both, at least on the surface, appear to be better deals for Dell shareholders—-especially those who want to bet long on the company and keep their stake.
In a press release issued this morning, the "special committee" formed by Dell Inc.'s board to handle negotiations for the company's sale acknowledged the offers from the Blackstone and Icahn groups. "Both proposals could reasonably be expected to result in superior proposals" to the Michael Dell/Silver Lake offer, the committee said in its written statement on the offers. The committee will now enter into further negotiations with both to hash out the details of each offer and weigh them against the plan to go private.
Both the Blackstone Group's offer and that of Ichan's group aim to keep Dell public while offering shareholders who wish to cash out the opportunity to get a bigger payday than under the Dell/Silver Lake plan. The Blackstone group is offering "greater than $14.25 in cash per share" for those stockholders who take the deal, while those who wish to stay investors in the company would be able to swap their shares for ones in the "merged" company, subject to a capped number of shares, valued at the same amount as the cash payout. The Icahn offer would pay out $15 per share or a one-for-one stock swap and pay the "breakup" fee for terminating the offer from Michael Dell and Silver Lake. The Dell/Silver Lake offer proposed paying shareholders $13.65 per share.
The proposals would raid Dell's existing cash hoard and load new debt onto the company. The Blackstone offer did not specify how the group would finance the deal, only saying that the group was working with Morgan Stanley to secure the required loans to close the deal. Icahn's group would put up a total of $5 billion in cash and equity in Dell as part of the deal, spend $7.4 billion of Dell's cash-on-hand, collect $1.7 billion by financing against Dell's outstanding accounts receivable, and add $5.2 billion in new debt to the company's ledgers.
Both the Blackstone Group and Icahn are counting on the backing of Dell's largest shareholders, since the structure of the deals counts in part on some of them keeping their stakes in Dell. The Blackstone offer puts a cap on how many shares can be cashed out, while Icahn's excludes the major shareholders completely from the buyout and instead gives them an equivalent share-for-share stake in the "surviving" company. Blackstone's offer also gives an olive branch to Michael Dell's group, offering to include them in the deal. "We would also expect to encourage (but would not require) the MD Investors (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to participate in our transaction by rolling over equity held by the MD Investors," the group said in its proposal.
While these deals may offer better options to Dell's stockholders and employees up front, it's not clear what they mean to the future of the company. If either the Blackstone or Ichan deal prevails, Michael Dell would lose control of the company—and likely lose or leave his job as CEO. And the company's strategy to become an enterprise-focused IT company and exit the consumer PC business could also be tossed aside.

I installed my first puppy onto a USB flash drive. I installed clean, meaning I just plugged it in and installed. No setting boot flags or anything. It booted just fine until it over-heated one day and fried.
I installed to another USB flash drive, set the boot flag and all that but it would never boot by itself. If I put in the live cd it boots up and the cd remains unmounted so I can use the cd device.
I run 4 puppies now and all of them I boot from USB with the disk in the drive.
FYI, I copy all the extra .sfs files onto the USB when prompted.
I saw another guy had the same situation. A post above(woodeye18) may explain it. Any ideas?

I picked up a few 128mb usb thumbdrives at a trade show, all identical. I loaded puppy 2.0 alpha and it booted fine many times. I put in another one of these thumbdrives and booted it not realizing that this particular one still had the old "non bootable" data from the trade show (i.e catalogs, news releases, photos of new products, etc.) and it tried to boot off of it and sat there at the bios screen while the thumdrive blinked. I pulled it out and put the bootable one in its place and it no longer booted.
I reformated it and it still would not boot. It bypasses it and goes to windows. I removed all other devices from boot order and changed "boot from other device" to disable, it says no boot device. So I took my old thumbdrive (different maker-memorhigh) and loaded puppy on it, boots every time. I loaded puppy on my other 2 "USB DISK 2.0" thumdrives, and none of them boot.
Still, if I put one of these unformatted Thumbdrives in, the bios tries to boot and sits at the bios screen while the drive blinks. Only after being loaded with puppy does it get bypassed.
What is causing these once bootable USB drives to be quickly bypassed by my system?
this is an interesting thing I hope those who have clues on it could expand on.
I ahve a 60GB harddrive that behave even worse than this. It even fail to show up as bootable. Cloaked or Stealth mode whatever.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Usb drives are notoriously tricky when it comes to booting.
The format(not Format command) of flash drives is NOT standardised so there are at least three formats that are used.
1) the easy one is if it emulates a hard drive and all hard drive functions are supported. These will have standard partition tables and will be fully bootable and will appear by default as drive C: or greater under MS Windows.
2) some emulate a superfloppy such as a ZIP or Omega drive and have a single partition and don't have a partition table and have a boot bit available. Can appear as A: or B: under Windows
3) others emulate a superfloppy and don't have a boot bit. Can appear as A: or B: under Windows
4) some smaller ones even emulate a standard floppy - with or without a boot bit. Appear as A: or B:
If that was it then it would be relatively easy, but not all BIOSs cope with theses different formats. And even worse some flash drives can be forced to change what they emulate.
I have drives of all four emulations and fortunately a BIOS/Machine that recognises them all and behaves accordingly.
And just to confuse the most clever BIOS, most machines don't check what format the drive supports and just writes what it likes.
PLoP (like grub but more powerful) will 'boot' a non bootable USB flash from a bootable device (disk,floppy,CD/DVD)
Whether a device is bootable(not whether it boots or not which is the MBR) is defined by a bit in a normally protected area, but there are utilities which can try to flip that bit deliberately (and no doubt some that do it without knowing)

Post subject: Full install from a usb?
Subject description: How to???
Well, I know I'm getting close but I have CD issues with a machine, It wont' recognise any CD that I try to install.
Details: 333Mhz CPU
3 GB Hdd had win 98 - all gone now!
installed Wary 5 on USB using wakepup floppy.
320 mb of ram
I can see that there is a choice to install from CD which I don't have access to, and the other choice is from directories.
So the question is... Can I install this on to the hdd and get it to boot from the HDD? I really don't know what I'm doing with the directories!!!
I'm on the net with it now... and it all seems good, but I would rather get it onto HDD so I can get a one button or simple install so that it can be used in my school. It doesn't seem to save changes to the usb when I shut down either... or at least it's taking far too long.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions you can offer me.

slowdog I feel unsure about if enough people who wants to help realize that you ask such a question in this old thread.
I rather trust you get more people involved if you start in the beginners place and ask about it there?
Rcrsn51 has a good description on how to get a USB with puppy on it.
Then you could use that one to get a frugal or full install on the HDD using that usb install.
His description should work if one already have a running Puppy.
So you have to boot up the wary 5 on one usb and then using that one to make a frugal install or full install on the HDD?
is that not what you want. I would try a frugal install first.
You should be able to use the description that Shinobar have on how to use grub4dosconfig to do a frugal install on the HDD and then boot from that one later.
If wary 5 don't have grub4dosconfig then there should be a link on the forum thread for grub4dosconfig.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum

Well, if the thread is too old, I'm glad you found it Ha!
Thankk you for the links, normally I go on chat and get some advice there, but I seem to be having difficulty getting on it at the moment.
I hope the links will help, I can not get windows to boot from these machines as I have no way of booting it - it goes through a network that no longer exists and I have no Windows OS disks, so I really want puppy to take over the machine totally. I'm hoping to get a full install into it.

Has anyone had success in booting Puppy on a UEFI BIOS PC? I've tried my standard live-CD and usbflash installs of lupuplus 5.2.8-05, and had no success.
Knoppix 7.2 boots fine however, once the UEFI BIOS is properly configured.

Maintenance tools : updating
No need to create new tools, these ones are enough. If anyone can help in fulfilling them. çà ne se fera pas à grand coups de philosophie.
Only headquaters can either update records or let users get free access to the spreadsheet.
There is of the carelessness and the documentation is abandoned, annihilating the efforts of those who created it.
Obsolete : easy, but why ?

In all the research I did into USB drives many years ago, none of the drives distinguished between OSs when booting or not or even working or not.
The only thing that was in the least significant was what type of drive the device emulated.
Hard Disk
Or superfloppy
and whether the bit (as in data bit) that controls booting was accessible and modifiable.

We're less than a week away from Samsung's Unpacked event on March 14, at which the company is widely expected to reveal the successor to its popular Galaxy S III smartphone. Ars will be on the scene with a liveblog and our other, usual event coverage. But in the days leading up to the reveal, we wanted to take some time to discuss what we expect (and what we hope) Samsung will reveal when it takes the wraps off its next handset.
What follows is the Ars staff's wish list for Samsung's next phone. You don't have to agree with what we want (and let us know if you don't, because we'll be doing a follow-up with your most requested features next week), but if Samsung hits all of these marks with its next Galaxy we think the company will have another hit on its hands.
1) Android 4.2
There were a bunch of Android phones at Mobile World Congress this year, but the only one that even said it would come with Android 4.2—the Asus PadFone—was actually running Android 4.1.
Granted, Android 4.2 was a bigger update for tablets than it was for phones (especially once you discount things like stock keyboard and notification center enhancements that Samsung is likely to chuck in favor of its TouchWiz UI anyway). However, Samsung is the biggest Android device manufacturer on the planet. It's so big that Google is kind of afraid of its impact on the ecosystem. It would be nice to see the company commit to setting a good example by pushing for more-prompt software updates.
There are some indications that we're going to get our wish here—leaked screenshots of an Android 4.2 update for the Galaxy S III suggest that Samsung is actively working on an update. And since 4.2 includes some of the S IV's rumored features, this suggests that the update will land on the newer phone first. Our fingers are crossed.
2) A non-AMOLED display (or maybe not?)
The debate over the virtues and drawbacks of AMOLED and PenTile screens continues to be divisive. Even Ars staffers can't agree on whether Samsung should ditch the display technology in its new phone or double down on it. The short version is that AMOLED screens can suffer from over-saturated colors and slightly fuzzy text, but that they can make up for this by being a bit cheaper to produce, consuming less battery power, and having better contrast (with deep blacks being particularly noteworthy). What side of the debate you come down on depends largely on what you value in a screen.
Ars Associate Writer Casey Johnston, on one hand, calls PenTile "abhorrent." "Competitors are shipping non-PenTile 1080p screens now," she continued, in reference to phones like LG's Optimus G Pro and the HTC One and Droid DNA. "I know Samsung favors AMOLED, but, come on, stop."
Microsoft Editor Peter Bright came out swinging in favor of Samsung's screen technology, though. "I don't give a damn about PenTile whiners. I want the deep blacks, the bright colors, and the high contrast," he said. "If they can get RGB (i.e., non-PenTile) AMOLED, so much the better, if only because it makes the whiners shut up. But even PenTile is fine, because I don't look at my screen with a magnifying glass all day."
You can't please everyone, and whatever Samsung does here it looks like someone is going to be unhappy. In either case, there's some precedent for both choices—Samsung's phones have tended to stick to AMOLED displays, but tablets like the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Note 8.0 have used more traditional RGB displays.
3) Keep the size manageable
The trend with high-end, flagship phones in the Android ecosystem has been to make them bigger and bigger as time has gone on. But we think the Galaxy S III is already a good size—it's got a 4.8" screen, so it's definitely no slouch. It also feels pretty comfortable to hold.
"I love the current form factor of the GS3 and I don't know that I want it to get any bigger because it's the perfect size for my hands right now," said Reviews Editor Florence Ion.
Casey Johnston agrees: "Make the screen as big as you can by spreading it to the edges of the phone, but for God's sake, stop making the body bigger."
Samsung already has a high-end, large-screened phone on the market in the form of the Galaxy Note II, which among other niceties includes a 5.55" touchscreen, a digitizer, and a stylus. We're hoping that Samsung continues to use the Note line for those who truly want huge screens, and that the S phones stick to something a little more comfortable for one hand.
4) Adhere to button standards
Since Ice Cream Sandwich or so, "stock" Android has used three software buttons for phone navigation: a Back button on the left, a Home button in the center, and an application switcher button on the right. Samsung has bucked that trend on all of its recent phones and tablets, using a combination of hardware and capacitive buttons.
Florence Ion likes the style of the buttons, and the fact that they don't take up screen space as software buttons do. "I hope they keep the little 'home' button," she said. "Please, oh please."
However, Peter Bright takes issue with their arrangement. "Standard Android buttons. That's what I want. It's what I crave," he said. "I wanted to literally throw the Galaxy S III at the wall because of its use of legacy buttons. Putting the back button on the right is an abomination, and forcing me to have a menu key (often useless) when I could have a multitasking key instead is just plain mean. The new (I say 'new,' I think it's about two years old now) button layout is much more useful and usable."
5) Think of the battery life!
Some of us are just a little weary of the constant specifications race that continues to play out among the Android handset manufacturers. Ever-larger, ever-denser screens, ever-faster processors, and ever-thinner phones are the most visible results of this competition. The spec that usually gets sacrificed to achieve them: battery life.
"[The Galaxy S IV] doesn't need to be any thinner," says Casey Johnston. "Stop playing the thin game, start playing the bigger-battery-which-enables-better-everything else game."
Samsung may not feel as pressured as some of the smaller handset manufacturers to get caught up in a specification race—the company's marketshare and profits are way up, as is the Galaxy brand's visibility. Samsung has some breathing room to make a balanced phone that doesn't necessarily blow its competitors' specifications out of the water. Apple has taken a similar approach to its iPhone hardware—fast within reason, but not at the expense of battery life—and that's the path we'd prefer Samsung to take as well.
6) A camera we can love
Finally, we want Samsung's next smartphone to step up its camera game. Phones from other ecosystems—the iPhone and Lumia 920 among them—have made the camera a signature feature. It's time for Samsung to put that same level of emphasis on both the camera hardware itself and the image processing happening in the software.
"I also really hope that the GS4 has a better camera," said Florence Ion. "Samsung needs to strike a deal with some lens manufacturers or something because I'm not happy with the way that photos come out on this phone. Before I had an iPhone, the Android camera situation didn't bother me too much, but after I had a taste of that—and I started borrowing my boyfriend's Lumia 920 to take photos of friends in low-light places—I've realized how ridiculous it is that my own phone isn't capable of that. Samsung makes point and shoots—is there a way they could implement that technology and do some tweaks to Android to make photos come out better? The Android camera situation is just a dismal one anyway, but if this is the world's best-selling Android manufacturer, it needs to step it up."
What about you?
Again, these are just our opinions. We think most of them are pretty reasonable—we like the Galaxy S III, but we'd like it more if all of the above were included in its successor. Sound off and let us know what you'd like to see in Samsung's new flagship, and we'll publish a follow-up before the event next week to showcase your ideas.

Despite the efforts of the Office of Management and Budget and two federal CIOs over the past five years to cut the cost of government information systems, federal agencies are still wasting money on redundant or overlapping IT projects. That's the finding of a Government Accountability Office report to Congress published September 12.
In a spot-check of IT spending by the three federal departments with the largest IT budgets—the Defense Department, Department of Homeland Security, and Department of Health and Human Services—the GAO found that a total of $321.25 million was spent between 2008 and 2013 on projects that duplicated other efforts within those same agencies.
What's jaw-dropping about this report is that the GAO could find that much duplication of effort in only those three agencies. Considering the entire government spends about $80 billion a year on IT, $321.25 million over six years is almost a rounding error. And only a small number of the programs in these departments—two at DHS, four at DOD, and six at HHS—were found to duplicate other programs within those agencies in some way.
That's not to say $321.25 million isn't a lot of money—it would buy one and a third F-35s, after all. But there are bigger sources of waste in government IT spending than duplication of requirements.
Booking perps and fixing teeth
The Defense Department has the largest overall IT budget of any federal department—its entire IT investment for 2013 is estimated at $31.4 billion. Of the nearly 3000 IT "investments" under the DOD's purview, the GAO found two areas with duplication of effort and just over $30 million during the six-year period—in health care tracking and dental management. The DOD's CIO had already identified those systems as redundant, and all the services have consolidated down to one of the health systems. The Navy is the last to be consolidated into a single dental system—largely because it has dentists on ships, and updating software afloat requires waiting for the ship to be available for maintenance.
Meanwhile, the military services are in the midst of major efforts to consolidate much of their IT. In its 2014 budget request, DOD identified nearly $34 billion in savings over five years, and a good chunk of that total is based on moving more heavily to shared infrastructure provided by the Defense Information Systems Agency.
The DHS, which had an IT budget in 2013 of $5.7 billion, had but one pair of duplicative programs in GAO's audit—an investment of $30 million in booking systems: the Customs and Border Patrol's E3 program and Immigration and Customs Enforcement's ICE-EAGLE. According to the GAO report, DHS officials said that the two booking systems share a common back-end database but have different front ends for "mission specific workflow processes."
HHS, which had an IT budget in 2013 of $7.4 billion, was the biggest redundancy offender of the three. The department had four enterprise information security efforts totaling $256 million over the six years and two Medicare coverage determination projects with combined spending of $2 million. The security projects—three at smaller agencies within HHS (Medicare/Medicaid, Indian Health Services, and Health Resources and Services Administration), and a fourth, much larger enterprise-wide effort—had by the time of the audit been partially consolidated already, though some functions had remained separate.
Can't tell the players without a dashboard
Together, the DOD, DHS, and HHS account for more than half of the federal government's overall IT spending, according to data from the government's IT Dashboard. The dashboard—and the PortfolioStat reviews that are conducted by the federal CIO and the Office of Management and Budget with each agency CIO annually—have been effective tools in applying pressure on agencies to kill floundering IT programs. In its review of duplicate IT programs in 2010, the GAO cited improvements in the dashboard as a source of improved management of agency IT projects.
Though the IT Dashboard no longer sports the names and photos of the department-level CIOs themselves alongside their report cards (like IT baseball cards)—as they did under former US Government CIO Vivek Kundra—IT programs are one of the most transparent parts of government agencies' operations as a result of the data.
GAO's study also missed an even bigger problem—despite a push toward shared services and the cloud, there's a huge duplication of IT investment across agencies. For example, while DHS has taken point on cyber-security for the civilian side of the government, there's no central, standardized government solution for security.
But If the GAO had done this analysis 10 years ago, the results would have induced even greater rage. So thanks for the good news, GAO.

Here Are All the Seattle Catholic Priests Who Have Been Accused of Sexually Assaulting Children
Here Are All the Seattle Catholic Priests Who Have Been Accused of Sexually Assaulting Children
By Sydney Brownstone
January 15, 2015
From the Link: Here Are All the Seattle Catholic Priests Who Have Been Accused of Sexually Assaulting Children
The Archdiocese of Seattle has released a list of 77 religious officials accused of sexually assaulting children in Western Washington.
From Jennifer Sullivan at the Seattle Times:
Archdiocese spokesman Greg Magnoni said the list has been in the works for the past two years.
"In early 2014 we brought in a private consultant, a former FBI agent who does this kind of work, she came in with an associate and was given full access to our files. It took about 1,000 staff hours to put it together," Magnoni said.
The archdiocese is now—finally—taking tips from anyone who has information about sexual abuse in the clergy. The tip line is 1-800-446-7762.
