Android Central's most popular stories of 2012

Most popular stories of 2012

It's time for a quick look back at the year that was. Frankly, we don't remember most of it. Apparently a year ago or so we were in Las Vegas for CES. Then Barcelona for Mobile World Congress. Then London for the Samsung Galaxy S3. Then New Orleans for CTIA. And San Francisco for Google IO. And Seoul for the LG Optimus G. And San Diego for MobileCON. And any number of other singletons in between. So, yeah. It was a busy year.

After the break we've got a look at some of our most popular stories of 2012. Not necessarily the most important. Not necessarily our favorites. But in terms of page views (we now have to get a second set of hands to count those on, by the way), this is what you guys and gals -- our dear readers -- were peeping over the past 12 months. Of course, it's a little biased toward older stories, but there are some rather recent ones tucked away in there, too. Enjoy!

Israel court overturns ban on Arab politician

JERUSALEM: Israel's Supreme Court ruled on Sunday an Arab lawmaker could stand in elections, overturning her disqualification by electoral officials over her participation in a Gaza-bound aid flotilla in 2010.

The nine-justice court ruled unanimously Haneen Zoabi "shall be a candidate for the Knesset" in a Jan. 22 poll without giving details of its reasons.

Zoabi drew widespread criticism in Israel for taking part in an international aid flotilla that challenged the Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip, territory ruled by Hamas Islamists opposed to the existence of the Jewish state.

She was on the Mavi Marmara when Israeli naval commandos raided the Turkish vessel in May 2010, killing nine Turks in clashes with activists on board.

The Central Elections Committee voted on Dec. 19 to disqualify Zoabi, saying she had shown "support for an enemy state or terrorist organisation engaged in armed conflict against Israel".

Zoabi has said she had no role in any of the violence on board the Mavi Marmara and had tried to mediate between the sides during the raid.

Environment Minister Gilad Erdan criticised the ruling saying Zoabi had been involved in "expressing solidarity with our enemies".

Zoabi told Israeli Army Radio the judges had "avoided giving in to the racist right".

The Central Elections committee, which authorises parties' candidates ahead of votes, is chaired by a Supreme Court justice and made up of legislators from a number of political factions.

It has tried several times in the past to disqualify Arab political parties for alleged disloyalty to Israel, only to be overruled by the Supreme Court on appeal.

Zoabi belongs to the tiny Balad party that believes Israel should not be defined as a Jewish state.

Most of the Arabs who make up about 20 percent of the Israeli population are related to or descended from Palestinians who fled or were driven away in a 1948 war over Israel's establishment.

They are full-fledged citizens, though many complain of discrimination.

9 Kid Fitness Year in Review

Typically I am not one to regularly look back over the past and reassess things for the future. ?It always sounds good in theory, but in my world the reality is that I usually just plow ahead, hoping for change in areas that need it? and just as typically doing the same things with the same results. ?However, I think this year calls for something different. ?So I will try to view the last year, especially in terms of health and fitness, a little more analytically, to see if I can improve on things in 2013. My post today will look back?and tomorrow I will look ahead. ?I updated my workouts this morning and took the time to really inspect last year?s fitness regimen. ?There were a few things I noticed?.some good, some not so good. ?I?ll start with the good?

Good

1. The first ?thing I saw was that I cut back on running last year. ?I didn?t do a marathon in the fall and so my training wasn?t geared towards long distance or speed. ?I chalk this up as good thing since I still struggle with hamstring and hip issues, which are exacerbated with speedwork and distances longer than 10 miles. ?Although a break from distance training didn?t cause my hip and hamstring frustrations to end , it did allow me to maintain running without further injury and hopefully for some healing to occur.

2. I focused on my core and on creating strength by using my own ??power?. ?Prior to 2012 I did P90X and my own version of a weight routine on a fairly regular basis. ?While I gained strength that way?I also felt like I was neglecting my core?and because I didn?t follow the P90X workout the way it is designed, I got a little lazy and did only the DVD?s that I liked (Shoulders and Arms!). Last year I did a lot more barre classes which are core-oriented but which also build strength from the inside-out, emphasizing small, isolated movements. In addition I became more creative with my own quick and dirty workouts from home. ?We took a small room which had previously been used for a kids bonus room and devoted it to fitness, moving the treadmill and exercise bike in there along with some free weights. ?I like the set up better (I was doing it in my closet before) and I find that I take my home workouts more seriously.

3. ?I started to pay more attention to my abs. ?After nine children and an obviously weakened pelvic floor, I had banned many ab exercises like sit-ups because it was compromising to the pelvic floor muscles. ?Unfortunately though I wasn?t making up for that with enough other exercises to strengthen my abdominal muscles and so I was becoming softer and softer in my middle. ?Last year I refocused my energy on building up my abs again. ?I found that by pulling up on the pelvic floor muscle (imagine doing ?a kegel) first, I could do some partial crunches that didn?t compromise those muscles. ?I also added some small twists to the sides so that I could build my obliques as well. Sticking with the tried and true plank and push-ups that I love ( I rarely leave those out of a workout), I think I am slowly getting stronger in my stomach area and so far my ?ab focus? seems to be helping. ?One important note, however? ?I am proud to say I will never have six pack abs! ?I have happily decided that the soft and pliable skin, which I am sure will always remain on my belly, is my trophy for having nine kids and so I wear it with pride!

Now for some of the not so good things?

Bad

1. Without a marathon to train for last year, I felt a little unfocused. ?While in some ways it was a good thing, I would like to find an event for 2013 to strive for. ?I am thinking of something different than a marathon. While I would definately like to try my hand at a triathalon again, and will sign up for one or two this spring, I?m really up for a unique experience. Maybe it?ll be a Great American Mud Run?! ?Anyone ever tried one of those? I am up for suggestions and would love to hear about some crazy running/adventure races you have done.

2. ?I have a hamstring and hip soreness that has become increasingly more painful and rest doesn?t necessarily make a difference (in fact sitting for long periods actually exacerbates it). ?I had been working with a P.T. on a fairly regular basis since the Marine Corps Marathon in 2011, but last year stopped doing it because I just got busy and frankly insurance only pays to a point! ?However, I know that my plagued hamstring and hip aren?t going to get much better on their own. ?So I will have to renew my efforts with the foam roller. ?Much cheaper than a sports massage, the foam roller really does help. Here?s what ?USA Triathalon?says about foam rollers:

?Getting a regular massage is something a lot of us know we should do, but don?t. Foam rolling is an inexpensive way to provide self massage. It?s not as good as?a ?hands-on? massage from a? licensed massage therapist, but proper utilization of a foam roller to break up adhesions in the muscle tissue and/or fascia can help you recover faster and keep your muscles ready to train. In layman?s terms, breaking up the adhesions in the soft tissue aids in decreasing trigger points from forming and brings blood flow to the area. Increased blood flow will bring nutrients and assist in repairing damaged muscle that your last workout may have caused.?

3. ?Nutrition wasn?t nearly the focus it should have been. ?My husband was diagnosed with cancer in the early part of last year (February). ?After dealing with the initial shock of hearing that James had stage IV throat cancer, we found out all we could about diet and how it can help with treatments and eventually with prevention of cancer. ?We loaded up on nutrition books and bought a very expensive VitaMix to make smoothies. ?At health food stores we were stereotypical ?rookies?, spending tons of money on supplements and lots of ??green stuff?. ?While very well-intentioned, our efforts became somewhat futile for James, who wasn?t able to drink the smoothies after about the second week of treatment (the burns in his throat prevented him from having any fruit which is acidic in nature). ?We continued with the smoothies for the rest of the family, but the cancer treatment diet had to be side-lined while we just focused on getting any food (mostly crepe-like pancakes) into James? system. He did take a number of supplements during treatment until he was unable to swallow them.

James was placed in the ?remission? category a few months ago and we are extremely grateful. ?I hope that 2013 will bring him renewed strength and that as a family we can redouble our efforts to become healthier eaters (more on this in tomorrow?s post).

That is a quick look back over fitness and health in 2012?for a look ahead at 2013?check back at 9 Kid Fitness tomorrow. ?In the meantime have a happy, safe and healthy New Year?s Eve!

Wannabe policeman is illegally ripping off London comedy show posters

The bike, after the attack by the representative of The Law

The bike, after the attack by the representative of ?The Law?

In joke-telling, there is ?The Rule of Three?.

Sometimes, this spills over into real life and overlaps with the saying ?It never rains but it pours?.

In my blog three days ago, I mentioned that comedian Martin Soan had broken a rib in a bicycle accident and that a comedian who double-booked himself for two simultaneous shows had caused problems for Martin?s Pull The Other One comedy club in January.

In the last year, Pull The Other one has featured top comedy acts like Omid Djalili, Stewart Lee and Arthur Smith.

On Friday, as an end-of-year thankyou to locals, Pull The Other One staged a free comedy show in Nunhead, Peckham. As normal, Martin and Vivienne Soan publicised it widely locally ? as they have done for over five years ? with flyers and posters. Some of the posters were on bicycles which were ridden round the area.

The show was a success ? despite what appear to be illegal actions by a local wanna policeman.

To save money on paying the police, England and Wales are now blessed with cheaper ?Community Support Officers? to back-up the ?real? police. I suspect (with no evidence, m?lud) that these are often wanna policemen and wannabe policewomen with over-developed superiority complexes.

?It seems we now have a special constable,? Martin Soan told me yesterday, ?who has taken it upon himself to tear down our posters and most disturbingly rip them off our bikes? I?m not sure that?s within his powers or even if it?s legal.?

I would have thought it was most definitely not legal. This guardian of ?The Law? appears to have decided to remove a piece of private property attached to a private vehicle without the owner?s permission which I would think, in legal terms, must be pure vandalism and damaging private property ? perhaps even theft.

?This bloke,? says Martin, ?rides around on a bike with a ?Comunity Warden? sticker on it?. Am I within my rights to rip that off?? Or deface a Sainsbury?s lorry?? Or paint over shop signs?? He also told me that he would remove my bike if I put a poster on it again.?

The offensive poster for free comedy show

The offensive poster for a free comedy show

Martin?s wife Vivienne, who co-runs Pull The Other One, says: ?The community policeman has systematically taken down all our publicity, telling us that we are making money from free advertising at the council?s expense. He says we are no longer allowed to put our poster on local notice boards and even took down a poster from British Rail property on which we have placed posters over the last five years!?

To my mind, this seems to be, again, a case of the ?Community? wannabe policeman damaging private property which stands on private land and removing property without the owner?s permission.

An interesting mindset for a guardian of ?The Law?.

?Mind you,? Vivienne told me yesterday, ?it has saved Martin a job, as he usually takes down all the posters the day after the show. And Martin?s rib is obviously greatly improved, as he wants to punch the guy in the face !!!!!?

NCAA tournament great live, but television brings it all home

I know we're still a couple of months out from the carnival of cacophony that is the NCAA tournament, but I want you to try something for me here. Ready? Imagine an NCAA tournament ... without the help of television. Imagine that sheet of yours, scrawled picks already mutilated, sitting in your sweaty hands -- and you have no ability to watch it unfold anywhere, just information and game results coming in over the Internet, or your phone, or from a friend.

Go ahead. I'll give you a good 20 seconds to try and picture that kind of world, that kind of torture.

Yeah ... you can't, can you? I know: God forbid. Forever spare us from such a dystopia, oh Great One from above. This beautiful bracket of boisterous basketball that comes in three weekend dollops each year, it's ingrained within the framework and fabric of television. The tournament is The Tournament because of TV. I'm a 1981 baby. My first college basketball memory is UNLV winning the 1990 national title, that throttling of Duke before Duke was truly Duke. My point is, I -- like the growing populace of basketball fans -- cannot picture the NCAA tournament without it taking place on a television screen. Almost every memory I have of March basketball is looped in to my eyes wide and beamed in at the moving pictures beamed out at me.

To those of you, the diehards reading this who were in love with and ahead of the game in the 1960s and '70s, all of my respect. I don't know what it was like back then, charting and tracking college hoops when it had only a handful of tilts on TV each season. An alien era for a sports fan like me.

The sea change came right around the time disco died -- 1979 altered everything. That's when Magic Johnson and Michigan State beat Larry Bird's Sycamores from Indiana State. Highest-rated college hoops game ever. It's what caused the tournament to move up in caste, to be a popular American sporting event and eventually the best one, beaten only in popularity by the Super Bowl and rivaled by none other in terms of widespread drama, variety of victory, magical moments and unpredictable outcomes. In fact, 1979 and a Saturday in March 1981 (March 14, to be exact; read this) are what really showed what this tournament was capable of doing.

It was built to create casual interest, sweeping appeal, white-hot fanaticism -- all due to the nature of the grid. Basketball plus brackets plus television equals a formula that is nearly impossible to screw up. And I know college hoops TV ratings aren't what they once were, but that's not the point. The point is, the actual NCAA tournament has only gotten better/easier to watch as the years have gone on because the means to watch it have improved. Better screens of all sizes and made-for-you appointment television.

I remember the 1990s, when CBS used to attempt to put four games on at once during the opening round, as if we could see all that action on our regular-def TVs back in 1995. I still loved the ambition. I now realize CBS was squeezing the first "quad box" onto our screens more than a decade before the Red Zone Channel brought the term to the American sports lexicon. Hey, attending the tournament can be great. Special, even. But nowadays, TV affects even that. Here's how. I'm in Denver at the 2011 NCAA opening weekend, watching a through-the-motions game unfold between BYU and Gonzaga.

Then I hear oohs and ahhs coming in distant but distinct waves from within the arena. Not overpowering, but enough to draw the attention from most in the building. Where's it coming from? Is there something we're missing? This game's only in the first half. Then I realize: Everyone who's in a luxury box is watching Pittsburgh and Butler goof and grit their way to one of the best NCAA tournament games of the past five years. Eventually, cheers. Butler wins. And then most everyone turns back to watch BYU and Jimmer Fredette go on to lash Gonzaga by 22 points and move on to the Sweet 16. Even when we're at the games, TV has an impact.

Now it has only gotten better for viewers. Instead of the archaic notion of being stuck with one game, CBS, TNT, TBS and truTV give us the option to watch any game we want. You can see games on your computer and on your phone. The NCAA tournament is about your picks, the no-name players on no-name teams and the common appeal of going through the theatrics with complete strangers at a bar, or with your dad in the living room, or alone in your apartment, holding up friends while you wait to see the end of this ridiculous 6-11 matchup.

I'll never forget being with my brothers at my parents' place in 2010, watching Kansas get Farokhmanesh'd. The gusty, quick 3 fell and we exploded off the couch, just like we did in 2006, when we watched in disbelief as George Mason beat UConn to go to the Final Four. (Still can't believe Denham Brown's shot didn't go in to win it.) I'll never forget visiting a former girlfriend in Syracuse in 2003 and watching Gonzaga and Arizona play one of the best second-round games I'll ever see. There must have been 16 of us squeezed into that dorm room -- and there must have been thousands of other dorm rooms around the country engaging in the same thrills.

I could go on. VCU over Duke in '06. Syracuse over Georgia 10 years before. VCU's run two years ago; the unlikely Illinois comeback against Arizona in '05; Richard Hamilton -- "HAMILTON!" -- in '98. Dozens more. They're with us not because we were there, but because we couldn't be. The tournament wouldn't be The Tournament without television. To those witnessing the best moments in person, it's the best sport. For everyone else getting to watch it around the globe, it becomes more -- a communal, immortal spectacle.

York College's long-range plans include campus, city improvements

In the next few years, York College aims to renovate residence halls and its student union as well as work toward revitalizing a city neighborhood where hundreds of students live.

Those goals are part of the college's 2012-2017 strategic plan and are mentioned by President George Waldner in his recently published book, "Building a Better College: York College of Pennsylvania Transforms Through Strategic Planning."

Waldner said in an interview that every five years, the college crafts a strategic plan, looking both internally and externally at its competitive environment to come up with goals and projects.

In his book, he noted that during the past 20 years, the college addressed needs for enhanced academic, residential, athletic and cultural facilities through about $250 million in capital projects.

"New capital project needs are always emerging in all aspects of the college's operations," he wrote. But the focus for 2012 to 2017 will be "renewal and revitalization of the institution's oldest, unrenovated buildings," namely the main campus residence halls, Country Club Manor apartments and the student union.

The college opened its newest residence hall, Northside Commons, in fall 2011. Waldner said that the college plans to first build a wing on to that, likely starting next fall.

That would give the college enough capacity to begin renovating the older dormitories that house freshmen and sophomores, he said. Those buildings date back to the 1960s, he said.

The idea is to renovate them to provide more square footage per student and more privacy, he said. Those buildings might not house as many students afterward, but there would still be additional capacity once all of the projects were finished.

The student union is from the 1970s, Waldner said, so plans are to update that building and incorporate more technology, though the design study is not yet far along.

The first priority is scoping out the dormitory situation and creating a multi-year plan that makes sense there, he said.

Kyle Joines, president of the York College Student Senate, said that one of the good things about the college is "it's always constantly growing."

Joines said the residence hall projects should help make the college more competitive, noting that many colleges nationwide have been redoing their residence halls to make them attractive.

Northside Commons "really embodies the ideal residence hall," he said.

And the student union, which houses the college admissions office, is one of the first buildings prospective students see.

"I truly believe that the student union should kind of represent the

beacon of campus life," Joines said. "It should embody the best of campus -- the best meeting spaces, lounges."

Improving nearby Jackson Street

The college is also looking at the nearby Jackson Street neighborhood, where Waldner said hundreds of students live.

The updated zoning law that the city adopted in 2011 include a "mixed use" zone adjacent to the college that will allow for the development of a "walkable urban neighborhood," Waldner said.

That means a neighborhood with a variety of amenities, like a coffee shop or a bookstore, available within walking distance for residents, he said.

Waldner said the college already works with people who want to start businesses, through its J.D. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship.

"We're happy to work with people who would like to go into the Jackson Street corridor," he said, noting that the college has been working with Susquehanna Real Estate on a strategy for helping to create that sort of development.

Kevin Schreiber, the city's economic and community development director, said the zoning law essentially created a new zoning district devoted to the college. The college was involved in the process and helped bring student housing landlords to the table, he said, establishing communication that seems to have been maintained.

There are a couple of commercial uses in the neighborhood, Schreiber said, and the college is evaluating where the commercial corridors and entry points might be. The city, the college and property owners will then work to beautify and make those areas safer.

Students are walking through the neighborhood now on their way to and from classes, he said. If over time there can be physical improvements such as lighting, traffic calming and bike lanes, it will become safer to do so.

With more people walking around, the hope is there will also be a rise in complementary commercial use, he said, which makes it a more attractive neighborhood.

It all leads to an enhanced tax base, he said.

Leaving it to a new leader

Waldner is retiring at the end of June, leaving much of the five-year plan for his successor.

He said that the plans really have a long lead time before they are put on paper. So as the 2012 to 2017 plan rolls out in the next couple of years, work on the 2018 to 2023 plan will begin.

The new president will be involved with the current plan as well as the next one.

"It's really continuing our progress," Waldner said of the plans.

Residence hall plans

York College is working on a multi-year plan to renovate residence halls.

President George Waldner said that adding a wing to the new Northside Commons building is likely the first step, to create additional space in order to close another dormitory down during renovations.

The other residence halls being eyed for renovations are: Beard Hall, Penn Hall, Manor North, South, East and West, and the Country Club Manor complex, according to Waldner's recently published book.

New majors

Included in York College's 2012-2017 plans is the possibility of several new majors.

The college started a hospitality major this fall, and others such as food science, horticulture and one or two engineering options are possible. The goal is to launch four new majors by August 2016, according to college President George Waldner's book.

"We've had consultants on campus for all majors we list in the plan," he said. The college is completing a plan of what the cost and facility needs would be to add the majors, he said.

About the book

George Waldner, who will soon retire as York College president, recently published a book, "Building a Better College: York College of Pennsylvania Transforms Through Strategic Planning."
