Verizon HTC Droid DNA name crops up again

Android Central

The story of Verizon and HTC’s Droid DNA has led us from a nameless blurry-cam, through rumors of an “HTC DLX” to clear photos of the actual device and news of what appears to be the final branding. The 5-inch, 1080p smartphone, known in Japan as the HTC J Butterfly, looks set to become a major launch for Big Red later in the year.

Today brings further confirmation of the Droid DNA moniker, as the “HTC Droid DNA” name has appeared on a Verizon support page listing devices with non-removable batteries. Alongside the name is the ADR6435 name previously associated with the “DLX” codename. If you've been following this device, you'll remember we first broke news of the Droid DNA name a few weeks back, when we spotted it on a leaked Verizon MAP document.

So barring some last-minute change, it’s probably a safe bet at this point that the DLX will come to market as the Droid DNA. Verizon folks -- anyone thinking of skipping the current crop of phones in favor of a shiny new DNA? Let us know in the comments.

CNBC: Softbank to buy majority stake in Sprint

By David Faber, CNBC

Softbank and Sprint have reached a deal under which Softbank will pay $20 billion for a 70 percent stake in the wireless telecom operator, according to people close to the situation.

The deal is expected to be announced tomorrow morning. While certain details are still being worked out, the boards of both companies have agreed in principle to the deal and are expected to officially ratify it this evening.

The transaction calls for Softbank to buy $8 billion worth of shares directly from Sprint at a price of $5.25 each and tender for another $12 billion worth of the shares from existing holders at a price of $7.30 a share, a large premium to Sprint's current price. Given the deal's structure, it will not require a shareholder vote.

The equity being purchased directly by Softbank includes a $3 billion convertible bond purchase that is exercisable at $5.25 and will be sold well before the deal closes, in order to provide funds for Sprint as it moves to deal with certain debt maturities at the parent and at the 48 percent owned Clearwire.

While a Sprint purchase of Clearwire will not be announced tomorrow, sources familiar with the situation tell me Sprint is working on that deal and needs to insure the governance for Clearwire is in its control prior to closing the Softbank transaction.

The remaining $5 billion in primary equity being purchased by Softbank will also be bought at $5.25 a share, said people familiar with the talks.

The purchase is a huge one for Softbank, which is essentially making a $20 billion gamble that it success in developing LTE wireless services in its home market of Japan can be translated to the U.S. Sprint, while the third largest wireless provider in the U.S., significantly trails the two market leaders, Verizon.

Softbank's hope, say people familiar with its strategy, is to build on Sprint's spectrum position, while hoping the company can further consolidate the wireless industry through acquisitions of more spectrum and other operators. The parties hope to close the deal within six months.

Second Bookshelf on the Right: Review: The You Know Who Girls ...


SUMMARY FROM NETGALLEY.COM:
Abbey Brooks, Gila High freshman-to-be, never thought a hellish day of shopping at the mall with her best friend, Kate, could change her life. But when she orders French fries from the flirtatious Hot Dog on a Stick Chick, she gets more than deep-fried potatoes. Abbey tries to ignore the weird, happy feeling in her gut, but that proves to be as impossible as avoiding the very insistent (and?rumor has it?very lesbian) players on Gila High?s girls? basketball team. They want freakishly long-legged Abbey to try out, and Abbey doesn?t hate the idea. But Kate made Abbey pinky swear to avoid basketball and to keep away from the you-know-who girls on the team.

Sometimes promises can?t be kept. And sometimes girls in uniform are impossible to resist.


MY TAKE:

I don't usually read gay/lesbian YA fiction, but the book's blurb sounded really interesting so I gave it a go.

The You Know Who Girls: Freshman Year focuses on Abbey Brooks and her first year of high school. Over the course of the year, she finds herself attracted to girls and finds that she's actually pretty good at basketball, a sport she's never played before.

As a former college basketball player, I really appreciated how practices, tryouts, and the games themselves are described here. My experience was pretty much the same. As far as I know, though, none of us on our team over the years was a lesbian. There were lesbians on some of the other teams, but I liked that in this book, it was made clear that there were only a few girls on the team were actually lesbians. Basically, it's saying, straight girls can like playing basketball too.

The great thing about this book is that you don't have to be a lesbian to enjoy it. The way Abbey and her experiences are written, it could very well be a girl-boy story. It's very realistic. It doesn't paint a purely happy picture of lesbian couples, or even just couples in general, but the way their problems are written, it doesn't feel cliche at all.

There were times when I found Abbey annoying and I felt the instant attraction between her and Keeta a little bit rushed. Overall, though, the characters felt quite real and their relationships felt natural.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bold Strokes Books for the e-ARC. Publication date of The You Know Who Girls: Freshman Year is on October 16, 2012.

THE GOOD:

  1. You don't have to be gay/lesbian to enjoy this book.
  2. The relationships, for the most part, are quite realistic.
  3. The plot is well-written.

THE BAD:
  1. Abbey can be annoying sometimes.

FAVORITE QUOTE/S:
Yes, there is a word for what you've done to me; the only one that says it all.
READ IT IF:
  1. You are a lesbian teenager.
  2. You are questioning your sexuality.
  3. You like playing basketball.

RATING:

Liverpool Care Pathway: Family revive man doctors wasn't worth ...

Posted on Oct 13, 2012

  • Andy Flanagan was rescued from dying on debated Liverpool Care Pathway
  • Doctors told his family that he was close to death after a cardiac arrest
  • His family gave him drops of water that helped him come round before doctors agreed to put him back on a drip
  • His sister Lesley Flanagan said the method was ?licence to kill?

The family of a 48-year-old man have told how they rescued him from dying on the controversial Liverpool Care Pathway by reviving him with drops of water.

Andy Flanagan?s family were told that he was severely brain damaged, had organ failure and was close to death after a cardiac arrest.

They gathered at his bedside to say their goodbyes after the hospital withdrew fluids and said it was going to let him ?slip away?.

The family of Andy Flanagan (pictured with daughter Andi-Jo) were told he was severely brain damaged, had organ failure and close to death after a cardiac arrest but they rescued him from dying after he showed signs that he had not had severe brain damage

Told he was dying: The family of Andy Flanagan (pictured with daughter Andi-Jo) were told he was severely brain damaged, had organ failure and close to death after a cardiac arrest but they rescued him from dying after he showed signs that he had not had severe brain damage

But when Mr Flanagan?s sister, who is a nurse, gently moved him to change his bloodstained sheets, he started to murmur words, showing signs that he had not suffered severe brain damage.

Then, as she cleaned his face with a wet cloth, he desperately tried to suck in the moisture. The family continued their vigil at his bedside around the clock, concerned that doctors did not want to keep the patient alive.

Every ten minutes they gave him drops of water that helped him start to come round before doctors eventually agreed to put him back on a drip. Mr Flanagan recovered and returned home. He lived for another month and was able to properly say farewell to his loved ones.

His sisters last night called the Liverpool Care Pathway a ?licence to kill?.

It involves withdrawing treatment and the heavy sedation of a patient and removal of tubes providing food and fluid in the last 24 hours of their life.

Sister Lesley Flanagan called the Liverpool Care Pathway a 'licence to kill'

?Insidious?: Sister Lesley Flanagan called the Liverpool Care Pathway a ?licence to kill?

Devised in the 1990s as a means of easing pain for the dying, it has been in widespread use in the NHS in recent years.

However, critics claim it is increasingly being applied to patients without their families? knowledge and when they still have a chance of recovery.

Lesley Flanagan, 53, last night said her brother had been put on the Pathway, which she describes as ?insidious and a licence to kill?, long before he was ?ready to go?.

She said the hospital had chosen to ?give up? on Mr Flanagan,? a father of five and grandfather? of two who had been a carpenter.

Mr Flanagan, who was suffering from pancreatic cancer, was admitted to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in King?s Lynn in the early hours of June 19 after he had a cardiac arrest.

When Miss Flanagan arrived at the hospital she was told that he was very ill, that his organs were shutting down and that they had taken all of the tubes from him.

She said: ?They told us that he had not got long to live and that the kindest thing to do would be to let him slip away. We did not know that they had instituted the Liverpool Care Pathway.?

?They mentioned something about a care pathway, but we didn?t perceive for a second that it was a way to kill people.

?In the evening my sister, who is a qualified nurse, arrived from Stockton. She was angry because no one had taken care of his basic needs. The bed he was in was dirty and covered with blood.?

?She asked if she could change the sheets and when she asked Andy questions, such as if they could roll him on his side, he replied with ?yes? and started to open his eyes.?

?That is when she began to suspect he had not been brain damaged. When she used a wet cloth to clean his face he tried to suck the moisture. We started to give him water from pipettes ourselves and he gradually became more awake. But we still had to campaign for the doctors to put him back on a drip.? The family also found Mr Flanagan?s medical notes were marked with ?do not resuscitate?, despite this never being discussed with them.

Miss Flanagan added: ?We stayed with him around the clock, because we were scared they were going to try to kill him again.

Admitted: Mr Flanagan, who was suffering from pancreatic cancer, was admitted to Queen Elizabeth Hospital (pictured) after he had a cardiac arrest

?He was terrified of the doctors and at one point told his consultant himself, ?you tried to kill me and told my family that I wanted to die?. He went home at the end of June and lived for another month until July 25.?

Mr Flanagan?s other sister Kathy Flanagan, 57, who has worked as a nurse for 39 years, said: ?We had another five weeks with our brother ? that time was very important for us and everyone else in the family.

?Even when Andy had started to come round we had to beg the doctor to put him back on a drip and he told us that our brother did not like needles and that he was sure that he wouldn?t want to be put back on a drip.

?I think it?s very difficult for relatives to comprehend what?s going on when they?re in state of shock, grieving and hurting. People just listen to doctors and respect them and I?m not saying perhaps at the very end that it might not be appropriate, but who knows when that end stage is.?

Last night a hospital spokesman said: ?This case is subject to an official complaint and we are unable to comment at this time.?
