Oppo Find 5 (Unlocked)

Oppo? The Blu-ray player company? Making a smartphone? Those are the thoughts that went through my mind when I first heard about the Oppo Find 5. In the United States, Oppo is really only known by home theater enthusiasts for its top-of-the-line Blu-ray players. But the company has a much more diverse portfolio overseas, as evidenced by its new flagship smartphone, which is now available unlocked in the U.S. The Find 5 ($499 16GB/$569 32GB) has a sleek, high-quality build, a good size when you consider its big 5-inch display, and a sharp 13-megapixel camera. But it's heavy, there's no LTE support, and the video camera isn't great. Still, the Find 5 is worth a look if you don't like to carry the same phone as everyone else, and it proves that Oppo's expertise isn't limited to home theater gear.

Size, Design, and Call Quality
Like the recent Sony Xperia ZL, perhaps the best thing about the Find 5 is its size. With a screen this big, it's easy to continue building out around it until you have a phone that's impossible to use with just one hand. But Oppo makes it feel manageable by pushing that screen almost all the way to either side of the phone, so that there's just 3.25mm of space, with a reasonable amount of bezel on the top and bottom. At 5.58 by 2.71 by 0.35 inches (HWD), it's actually slightly less wide and deep than the Xperia ZL, though it's a fifth of an inch longer. And while you can't always use this phone with just one hand, it feels more manageable than many other big devices. But at 5.82 ounces it's also quite heavy.

As far as design goes, the Find 5 is yet another generic slab, albeit an exceptionally handsome one. I like the minimalist design language; the phone looks like a long rectangle with subtle curves at the top and bottom. Available in either black or white, the back and sides of the phone are made of remarkably sturdy matte plastic, which also peeks out at the lip of the otherwise all-glass display. There's a power port on the bottom, a 3.5mm headphone jack on the top, and clear plastic buttons on either side that look like glass. If you want a sleek, relatively obscure phone to make your geeky friends jealous, this is it.

I've got no complaints about the 5-inch, 1080p IPS LCD, which looks absolutely gorgeous. With 441 pixels per inch, this is one of the densest screens available, so text, images, and video all look remarkably clear. Typing on the onscreen keyboard feels comfortable, which you might expect given all that screen real estate.

The unibody design makes for less modifiability than, say, the Samsung Galaxy S 4. There's no microSD card slot and the 2,500mAh battery isn't removable. Oppo includes a tool that lets you access the SIM card slot on the left side of the phone.?

The Find 5 is unlocked, so you can use it on either AT&T or T-Mobile's network, or with smaller GSM-based carriers like Simple Mobile (which uses T-Mobile's network). It supports up to HSPA+ 42 on the 850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100MHz bands. You can also hit 802.11 a/b/g/n Wi-Fi on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.?For this review I tested the phone on AT&T, though it would make an especially good fit for T-Mobile, given the carrier's excellent HSPA+ 42 network and its new contract-free pricing. There's no LTE support here.

Reception and call quality were both good on AT&T's network. Voices sounded clear, but a little thin and thready in the phone's earpiece. Calls made with the phone were loud, natural, and clear, though background noise cancellation capabilities were just average in my tests. The speakerphone sounds good but is not loud enough to hear outdoors. I paired the phone with a Jawbone Era?Bluetooth headset and was able to make hands-free calls using Google Voice Dialer.

I got 11 hours and 13 minutes of talk time over AT&T's network, which is a solid number, though I saw the battery decrease much more quickly while I was running benchmark tests with the screen brightness set to high.

The phone is available in either 16 or 32GB options. I reviewed the 32GB model, which has 25.09GB of free internal storage. I'm bummed by the lack of a microSD card slot, though 25GB should be a decent amount of storage for most people.

Android and Apps
The Find 5 is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 processor, which is one of the fastest chips you can get right now. Combine that with an Adreno 320 GPU and you've got an unstoppable multimedia machine. Benchmark scores were slightly lower than the Xperia ZL, which is likely due to Sony's slightly less aggressive Android overlay. Still, the difference is negligible; the Find 5 should be able to handle anything you can throw at it.

The phone runs Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean). That's not the latest version of Android available, but for now, it's close enough. Oppo has tinkered with Google's open source OS to mixed results.

Let's get the bad part out of the way. I'm not sure what Oppo's designers were thinking when creating new widgets, as the freeform shapes you get here are large, obtrusive, and not attractive. I also don't care for the app styling, which places a border around every app icon that doesn't belong to Google. Additionally, the built-in app designs (particularly for the Phone, Messages, Clock, Camera, and Calendar apps) are a little too close to Apple's iOS design for comfort.

Delta's N950DN Is Enroute To Kvqq ? Civil Aviation Forum ...

Delta's MD-90 N950DN, the next-to-last to come over from JAL, according to FlightAware is enroute from KMSP to KVQQ where it will get its mods.

The last JL MD90 was retired a few weeks back and should be making its way to the USA in a few weeks too

Excellent news for Delta as well as its passengers. I'd much rather fly on an MD88/90 versus any of the narrowbody offerings from either Boeing or Airbus. Will the -90s be getting AVOD as well?

What is the current planned date to have all MD-90s in service? That is all of the current ones that we know about.

There are quite a few still awaiting mods. B the current pace I'd say all frames should be complete by early '14.

Quoting FlyASAGuy2005 (Reply 5): There are quite a few still awaiting mods. B the current pace I'd say all frames should be complete by early '14. I'm already impressed by the number of routes that are run by MD-90 equipment. By the time all of the mods are complete, the MD-90 will make up a significant percentage of the narrowbody fleet. From a personal point of view, I love being able to non-rev on the airline that flies all four of the major mainline narrowbody families (737, 757, A319/A320, DC-9 /MD-88/MD-90/717)! ?

That is good news. The MD90s are a great fit for the DL network. Also my station just got the parking lines repainted for the 717 and 739 but they also painted lines for the 321 at all of our gates.... That one makes no sense to me Quoting lucky777 (Reply 2): I'd much rather fly on an MD88/90 versus any of the narrowbody offerings from either Boeing or Airbus From a rampers point of view, we like working all narrow body planes expect the MD family at least in my station. Worked/Planned Loads on: CRJ-2,CRJ-7,CRJ-9,737-4,737-7,737-8,757-2,757-3,767-3,A319,A320,A330,MD83,MD90

So what are the DL second hand teams going to be looking for all over the world now?

That is a shame considering many run on 3-4 hour runs out of MSP.

Quoting tommy767 (Reply 9): That is a shame considering many run on 3-4 hour runs out of MSP. Is AVOD really a requirement on such a segment? I mean, seriously...

Quoting lucky777 (Reply 2): Excellent news for Delta as well as its passengers. I'd much rather fly on an MD88/90 versus any of the narrowbody offerings from either Boeing or Airbus. Will the -90s be getting AVOD as well? As the others have stated, currently, AFAWK, there are no plans to put video entertainment on them. Initially there was, but as fuel prices climbed and market volitility began to rise in late 20, we shelved those plans. But we also, at that time, shelved plans to update the 753 fleet and the 757-5600 fleet as well, but we are no going fwd to reconfigure those aircraft and the with nose-to-tail AVOD and new slimline seats, new overhead bins(pivot-style for the 757 and 737 fleet), so it with all that happening, it would not surprise me to see us revamp the MD-90 fleet close after that, providing the economy stays intact. The MD-90s are averaging these days on the 3-4 legs, so for competitive reasons, it would only make sense for us to do so.

Quoting LV (Reply 8): So what are the DL second hand teams going to be looking for all over the world now? I too wonder about that. My guess is additional MD90 and B717 aircraft.

Quoting B757forever (Reply 12): I too wonder about that. My guess is additional MD90 and B717 aircraft. I was actually thinking some gently used 738's might be on the list if WN doesn't get to them first.

ch-aviation.ch says there are none in storage at KMZJ, 1 more to come over from JAL and 7 in various stages of the process in KATL for paint or in KVQQ for mod. I believe these 8 will be done by the end of July, if not sooner, so work can begin on the 717s that go into service later this year. [Edited 2013-05-04 15:11:37]

Quoting jetjack74 (Reply 11): shelved plans to update the 753 fleet and the 757-5600 fleet as well, but we are no going fwd to reconfigure those aircraft and the with nose-to-tail AVOD and new slimline seats, new overhead bins(pivot-style for the 757 and 737 fleet), so it with all that happening, it would not surprise me to see us revamp the MD-90 fleet close after that, providing the economy stays intact. The MD-90s are averaging these days on the 3-4 legs, so for competitive reasons, it would only make sense for us to do so. So, the 5600-series 752s are getting AVOD? I know about the 753s, however, I didn't know the 5600-series 752s will be getting AVOD as well. Also, are there really plans to install pivot bins on the entire 737 and 757 fleet? I know the 739ERs will come with the Boeing Sky Interior from the factory, however, if there are plans to install pivot bins on other narrowbodies (Heath Tecna Project Amber I presume), that would be great.

Quoting LV (Reply 13): I was actually thinking some gently used 738's might be on the list if WN doesn't get to them first. That much has been stated by Ed Bastian. They are in the market for some second hand narrowbodies in the 738/320 range and capacity class. Simply but, although the MD90 is a great airplane, it does not have the legs like the 320 or 738 to do transcons and the like. Let's also remember that with the 757 drawdown, although we have 739s coming online, they need something to fly LatAm and the Caribbean. The 739 isn't exactly capable on the routes due to runway length at some of the stations.

What work is Delta doing on the 717's? I thought WN is responsible for the mods to Delta specs.

DL is not doing any work on the 717 aircraft. WN is handling that per the agreement.

Quoting B757forever (Reply 12): Quoting LV (Reply 8): So what are the DL second hand teams going to be looking for all over the world now? I too wonder about that. My guess is additional MD90 and B717 aircraft. Don't rule out additional MD-80s for spare part inventory. Particularly, relatively modest total flight-hour aircraft. Of the MD-vintage types, I think an official confirmation on the Taiwan MD-90s is likely to happen next. I don't think DL will commit to additional 717s until they are able to evaluate the type after EIS. But ultimately, I do expect DL to operate more the 88 717s.

Delta will continue purchasing of or leasing MD-90s and probably the 717 along with any other aircraft which Delta currently flyies that fits their economics of scale. "Why buy new when slightly used will do?" ??

Quoting TrijetsRMissed (Reply 20): Don't rule out additional MD-80s for spare part inventory. Particularly, relatively modest total flight-hour aircraft. DL's has purchased older MD-80's and an MD-87 for spares before...it wouldnt surprise me if they bought more.

They are. I believe the 717 mods will be done at the same location as the MD-90s but, paid for by WN. There has been a lot of experience gained there by doing the MD-90s. [Edited 2013-05-05 13:59:28]

Acer intros Aspire R7, a laptop with an adjustable display like an all-in-one (update: hands-on video)

When Acer plans a global press event, asking journalists to fly in from twelve time zones away, you know it's going to announce more than just some back-to-school PCs. The company just announced the Aspire R7, a 15-inch laptop whose display sits on a flexible "Ezel" hinge, allowing it to be pushed up and back so that it lies nearly flat -- yep, just like an all-in-one desktop. Similar to the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga line, too, you can flip the screen all the way back so that it faces away from the keyboard, a feature that seems especially well-suited for giving presentations.

In terms of specs, Acer is being a little cagey, but we have learned the R7 has a 15.6-inch, 1080p display with a choice of Core i5 and i7 processors. The whole thing weighs in the neighborhood of five and a half pounds. Also confirmed: it's up for pre-order now for $999, available exclusively at Best Buy in the US. We're told it will ship May 17th. In the meantime, we've got hands-on photos below, and we'll very shortly be adding some first impressions after the break.

Catholic bishops condemn Irish abortion bill

DUBLIN (AP) ? Ireland's Roman Catholic leaders appealed to the public Friday to lobby their lawmakers to reject a bill that would permit abortions deemed necessary to save the life of the pregnant woman, a measure long ordered by Irish and European courts.

In a joint statement, Ireland's bishops, archbishops and lone cardinal described the bill, unveiled this week after decades of debate, as "a dramatic and morally unacceptable change to Irish law."

They argued it would be most grievously wrong to give any woman an abortion to assuage her threats to commit suicide, as the bill allows.

"It is a tragic moment for Irish society when we regard the deliberate destruction of a completely innocent person as an acceptable response to the threat of the preventable death of another person," the bishops wrote.

Cardinal Sean Brady, leader of Ireland's 4 million Catholics, said in an interview that the bill made the right to life of the fetus subservient to the rights of the woman. "There are two lives involved here," he said.

The intervention of Ireland's dominant church in the abortion debate raises the political temperature at a moment when the 2-year-old government of Prime Minister Enda Kenny is already fraying over the merits of the bill. The government has been under international pressure to clarify the rights of doctors to perform life-saving abortions since October, when a miscarrying Indian woman died from blood poisoning in an Irish hospital after being denied a termination.

The smaller left-wing party in the coalition, Labour, supports the bill but Catholic conservatives in Kenny's own Fine Gael party are vowing to weaken or block it, chiefly over its suicide section. The bill faces weeks of parliamentary debate and likely amendments before reaching a vote expected in July.

If passed, the bill would permit a single doctor to authorize an abortion if the woman's life was in immediate danger from continued pregnancy; two doctors if the pregnancy posed a potentially lethal risk, such as by triggering the return of cancer in remission; and three doctors if the woman was threatening to kill herself.

Kenny, who has previously clashed with Brady and other Catholic leaders over their admitted involvement in child abuse cover-ups, declined to respond. But Deputy Foreign Minister Eamon Gilmore, the Labour leader, said the bishops had no influence on government policy.

"They're entitled to express their point of view. This is a democratic country. But the laws of this country are made by those of us who are elected by the people and are charged with that responsibility," Gilmore said. "And for 21 years now, legislators have failed to legislate for a Supreme Court decision which set down what was lawful and what wasn't lawful in circumstances where a pregnant woman's life is at risk. It is time that that legislation is dealt with."

In 1992, the Supreme Court ruled that an abortion in Ireland should be lawful only if doctors determined one was necessary to preserve the woman's life. Crucially, the judges found that this rule should apply to women making credible threats to kill themselves if denied a termination.

In 2010, the European Court of Human Rights ruled that Ireland's failure to back the Supreme Court judgment with laws and medical regulations meant Irish doctors were left in legal limbo and women were endangered in the process.

The Strasbourg, France-based court found that doctors sometimes told pregnant patients who needed abortions, particularly to keep their cancer in remission, to travel to England for the procedures. The court ordered Ireland to remedy the situation.

But the government still took no action until the death of Savita Halappanavar. She was 17 weeks pregnant when hospitalized in severe pain at the start of a protracted miscarriage.

Doctors refused her requests to terminate the pregnancy, arguing that the fetal heartbeat must stop first. During a three-day delay, a coroner's inquest found, Halappanavar contracted blood poisoning from ruptured uterine membranes and died of massive organ failure after the fetus' own death.

Ireland has the most severe restrictions on abortion in Europe. An 1861 law makes it a crime punishable by life in prison to procure or perform an abortion. The bill would reduce that maximum prison penalty to 14 years. Dozens of women in Irish maternity wards annually do receive abortions, but only for the most clear-cut medical emergencies.

Malta, the only other European Union member to outlaw abortions except for life-saving purposes, sets the maximum prison sentence at three years. And Poland, which outlaws abortion except in cases involving medical emergencies, incest, rape or serious genetic abnormalities, has no such criminal penalties.

The other 24 EU states all offer wider access to abortion, most notably neighboring Britain, the favored destination for Irish abortion-seekers since England legalized the practice in 1967.

More than 4,000 Irish women receive abortions there annually, while an increasing number induce their own miscarriages at home by using drugs ordered from foreign suppliers via the Internet.

Finding Nematostella: Ancient sea creature shines new light on how animals build an appendage

May 1, 2013 ? There's a new actor on the embryology stage: the starlet sea anemone Nematostella vectensis. Its career is being launched in part by Stowers Institute for Medical Research Associate Investigator Matt Gibson, Ph.D., who is giving it equal billing with what has been his laboratory's leading player, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

Gibson's lab investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms used by cells to assemble into layers or clusters during embryogenesis. Those tissues, composed of densely packed cells known as epithelial cells, shape the body not only of simple creatures but also of mammals, where they line every body cavity from lung to intestine and form hormone- and milk-secreting glands. Unfortunately these cells have a dark side too- over 80% of human cancers, carcinomas, are of epithelial origin.

The Gibson lab has historically used the genetic powerhouse Drosophila to investigate the control of epithelial cell shape and proliferation during wing, leg and eye development. Breaking with tradition, their new study published in the May 15th, 2013 issue of Development, explains how developing sea anemone larvae construct an even more basic epithelial appendage, the tentacle. The paper charts how epithelial cell shape changes drive tentacle development and is also the first to identify candidate genes driving those changes. Most of all, by putting a new model organism representing one of the simplest animals center stage, the study illuminates some of the most fundamental principles animals use to construct a body.

Lacking even left-right symmetry, sea anemones are evolutionarily ancient. But during embryogenesis their larvae compensate for an uninspiring torso by sprouting tentacles from thickened epithelial buds surrounding their mouth. "Nematostella's body is basically a bag of epithelium," says Gibson. "And that simplicity makes it a great system for determining how epithelial cells act collectively to shape an appendage. Taking advantage of this fast, easy and cheap experimental system, we can quickly answer questions that give us deep insight into a process, at both the mechanistic and evolutionary levels."

The all-Stowers study, led by first author Ashleigh Fritz, a graduate student at the University of Kansas School of Medicine working in the Gibson lab, began by imaging Nematostella larvae at the cellular level before, during, and immediately after "juvenile" tentacles sprang from their body. Freshly hatched Nematostella larvae are under intense pressure to get their tentacles up and running, as they use them to pull food toward their mouths. The question was, what kind of cellular reshuffling drove these survival-dependent changes in morphology?

"We thought tentacle outgrowth might be driven by cell proliferation," says Fritz, noting that some of Nematostella's freshwater cousins sprout appendages by constant cell division. "Instead, we observed that cells begin thickened and then thin out as tentacles elongate." In other words, the process was driven not by cell duplication along a "tentacle axis" but rather by stretching a stockpile of cells.

Embryologists call the embryonic thickening of epithelial cells that provides raw material for a mature structure a placode. "Placodes have appeared over and over throughout evolution," says Gibson, noting that placodes give rise to wings or eyes in flies and feathers and teeth in vertebrates. "Discovering that placodes are also utilized in animals as seemingly primitive as Nematostella shows how fundamental this strategy is in evolution."

The group also showed that activation of a cellular receptor known as Notch was mandatory for tentacles to emerge from a placode. Newly hatched Nematostella larvae swimming in lab seawater laced with a drug that blocks Notch receptor activity failed to sprout tentacles.

The researchers also constructed microarrays from tissue isolated at early, mid, and late stages of tentacle extension, allowing global comparison of the collection of mRNAs, or the "transcriptome," at each stage. That effort, driven by Stowers Research Advisor Chris Seidel, Ph.D., and Ariel Paulson of the Stowers Computational Biology Core, is an obligatory step in pioneering any new model organism.

"Transcriptome analysis led us to identify novel tentacle markers," says Fritz, referring to molecular probes used to define a particular cell type. "Also gene expression patterns that we and others have identified allowed us to construct the first-ever molecular model of how tentacles are patterned."

In short, the study not only suggests universal principles underlying sculpting of epithelial structures from a placode, but also provides investigators with a toolkit to test whether specific genes drive the process.

An added bonus is that in 2007 a consortium of researchers sequenced the Nematostella genome and reported it to be more "human-like" in size and structure than that of Drosophila or another widely used model system, the nematode C. elegans. As a result, Gibson thinks that for many key questions, Nematostella may represent a better laboratory model than either.

"The common ancestor of sea anemones, flies, and humans likely had a surprisingly complex genome," he says, explaining that over millions of years of evolution flies and worms might have lost some genomic complexity. "As a result, these seemingly simple animals share some key genomic characteristics with humans and other vertebrates."

The Gibson laboratory continues to use both flies and sea anemones to ask how epithelial proliferation is controlled and why epithelial placode formation is so prevalent in developing embryos. Their next task is to develop molecular approaches to test how specific genes govern Nematostella embryogenesis. "Right now we are actively working on experimental tools, including techniques to knockout, edit or overexpress genes in Nematostella," says Gibson. "This paper opens up new ground and lays foundation for a next round of more deeply mechanistic studies."

In addition to Seidel and Paulson, Gibson lab postdoctoral fellow Aissam Ikmi, Ph.D., also contributed to the study.

The study was funded by the Stowers Institute for Medical Research and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund.

Unreleased Bob Dylan song lyrics to be auctioned

Music

Andy Greene Rolling Stone

Bob Dylan.

Two previously unreleased Bob Dylan song lyrics will be auctioned by Christie's on June 26th. "Go Away You Bomb" and "I Want That Bomb" were written by Dylan in 1963 for Izzy Young of the Greenwich Village Folklore Center. "I asked everyone I knew to write a song about the nuclear bomb," Young tells Rolling Stone. "Bob Dylan came in literally the next day and handed these to me."

Written at the height of Dylan's protest period, the song lyrics, which he wrote on a typewriter and then corrected by hand, bristle with anger and sarcasm. "An' I hate you cause you could drop on my by accident an' kill me," he writes on "Go Away You Bomb." "An' I I hate you twice as much as Jim Crow hates me."

Bob Dylan to Tour With Wilco, My Morning Jacket This Summer

Young moved to Stockholm in the early 1970s, and the lyrics sat in a drawer until he rediscovered them a number of years ago. He was extremely reluctant to part with them, but the 85-year-old's bleak financial situation forced his hand. "My daughter, who is 39, came to me and said 'Papa, I'm sick of you surviving by miracles,'" Young says. '"You have to sell that Bob Dylan song.' She convinced me I had to, and she moved it to a bank vault for me."

Unreleased lyrics by Bob Dylan.

Christie's estimates that the lyrics will go for ?25,000 to ?35,000, or about $40,000 to $55,000 in U.S. dollars. "It's going to be the first time in my life I'll have real money," says Young. The income will allow him to continue to operate the Folklore Center in Stockholm.

Dylan's history with Young stretches all the way back to the songwriter's earliest days in New York. Young was the owner and operator of the Folklore Center, a meeting place for local musicians full of rare books and records. "At first Dylan seemed like anybody else that came into the store," says Young. "But I noticed after a while there was something different about him. He would take every goddamn record I had in the store and listen to them. He was the only one that read all those scholarly communist books. Anything I had in the store, he would read."

How Bob Dylan Took Flight

Young arranged for Dylan to headline a show at Carnegie Chapter Hall, a small theater in the Carnegie Hall complex, on November 4th, 1961. Only 53 fans attended and Young lost money. "I tried to give him 20 bucks anyway," says Young. "He refused to take it since I lost money. A lawyer friend saw us arguing about he suggested I just give him 10 dollars. We made that agreement and both of us felt good."

Young is also auctioning a rare program for the Carnegie Chapter Hall concert. It's estimated to sell for between ?1,000 and ?1,500 ($1,600 to $2,300).
