A New Jersey man already in prison for sexually assaulting one of his daughters has been sentenced to an additional 50 years for raping and impregnating one of her siblings.
PATERSON, N.J. (AP) ? A New Jersey man already in prison for sexually assaulting one of his daughters has been sentenced to an additional 50 years for raping and impregnating one of her siblings.
The man still faces three more trials ? one for each of the remaining daughters he is accused of assaulting. The Associated Press does not generally identify victims of sexual assault and is not reporting the man's name to protect the identity of his alleged victims.
In court Friday, the self-styled music producer faced a daughter who had testified she bore four of his children. The Record of Woodland Park reports that the man, shackled and in a prison jumpsuit, burst out at one point that the woman "should have told the truth."
A jury convicted the man in March of sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault. He was already serving 40 years after being convicted in 2010 of sexually assaulting another daughter who testified she bore him a child.
A daughter and the man's former wife have testified that he spoke often of being a prophet who believed in keeping his bloodlines pure. The daughter testified in the first trial that her father told her at age 8, "If he has a child with one of his own children, then it will be a supreme being."
They also testified he had insisted that most of his children be born at home so they wouldn't have birth certificates or social security numbers. The women also testified he kept the children from seeing doctors, home-schooled them, made them follow an extreme vegetarian diet and enforced his will with regular beatings.
At his sentencing, state Superior Court Judge Raymond Reddin described the man's actions as part of his "disgusting, revolting fantasies."

Much as the state Department of Education caught several Pennsylvania school districts cheating on student achievement tests, the U.S. Department of Education has caught the state education agency fudging on behalf of charter schools.
Last week the federal department properly rejected the state DOE's request to assess charter schools differently than conventional public schools, which is good news for taxpayers and parents.
Charter schools are public schools, funded by local and state taxpayers. They are viewed by the Corbett administration and many of its allied lawmakers as a crucial alternative to conventional public schools. State policy, in terms of establishing and funding charter schools, has been shaped during the Corbett administration to promote rapid expansion of charter schools.
Since taxpayers fund charter schools, and parents select them for their children believing that charters offer better education than conventional public schools, it is crucial that assessments of each type of school produce fair comparisons.
The administration, however, has applied a more lenient evaluation method to charter schools than to individual public schools.
The federal No Child Left Behind Law mandates evaluation of "adequate yearly progress" for school districts and individual schools. Individual schools must reach certain goals for every tested grade level to achieve AYP, but districts can achieve AYP by reaching goals in just one of three grade groupings - 3-5, 4-6 or 9-12.
Pennsylvania this year, for the first time, applied the much more lenient standard for school districts to individual charter schools. Under the lenient standard, 59 percent of charters achieved AYP. If the state had applied the tougher standard for individual schools - the standard that also is most important to parents with children in those schools - only 37 percent of the charters would have met the standard. Of the state's conventional public schools, 50 percent achieved AYP.
Charter expansion might be a key way to improve education in Pennsylvania, as its advocates claim. If that is the case, there should be no need to measure their performance against watered-down standards.

Today Marc Stein reported on ESPN that in fact Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire have reached out to the NBA players association about the possibility of playing basketball over seas. This comes after the news that Derron Williams, the exceptional Nets point guard, has reached a deal to play in Turkey if the lockout goes into next season. The video can be found here.
In the video Stein makes the point that right now everybody is just trying to get information. I think Carmelo and Amare, like all players, wanna play basketball. That is what they are paid to do. That is what they love to do. They aren't dumb guys, they realize this lockout will probably go into next season and there is a good chance there may not be a next season. They wanna play and get paid. Derron Williams seems to have gotten a great deal in Turkey. As Stein points out, there probably are not as many lucrative offers out there like the one Williams got. While a lot of players want to go and play overseas, it will be interesting to see how many actually go because in order to go they have to get a deal worth their time. Kobe isn't going to go overseas and play for 800,000 with no out clause and no medical insurance. Players need to have lucrative deals to lure them from the United States.
The whole international movement could impact the Knicks. Stoudemire and Carmelo, I imagine, will be sought after by international teams as they are two of the best players we have in the game today. The only possible scenario in which I like them playing is if they are able to get a deal in which they get to play on the same team, or play on a team with other Knicks. For example, if they signed contracts to play on the same Turkish team with medical insurance and an out clause then yes I would be okay with them going and building some chemistry. I would be more okay with Carmelo going then Stoudemire. Carmelo a) could use the conditioning and extra work and b) has been consistently healthy with no major injuries. STAT, as much as I love him, is an injury concern. He is recovering from that freak back injury he suffered in the playoffs and has terrible knees. He needs as much rest on his body as he can get. It will be interesting to see where this whole thing goes but I think for right now, the Knicks superstars are just building up information and will make a decision further down the road.

Big Business wants it both ways: It wants to wrap itself in the ol' red, white and blue while feeding the decline of the U.S. economy through its actual practices.
Here's the latest example of such corporate hypocrisy. Over the Memorial Day weekend, J.C. Penney advertised a silkscreen T-shirt bearing the slogan, "American Made." Yet when Joe Allen, a retired apparel manufacturer in the Dallas area, bought the T-shirt, he found it actually was made in Mexico—"of USA fabric."
Allen didn't just shrug off such a blatant sleight of hand. He took action, contacting Steve Capozzola at the Alliance for American Manufacturing. Capozzola sent an e-mail to J.C. Penney, saying that the ad was deceptive and asking why the shirt "was emblazoned with an 'American Made' slogan when it was in fact made in Mexico."

For Immediate Release
New Camp Stands Idle and Closed as Somali Refugees Pour into Kenya
WASHINGTON - Tens of thousands of Somali refugees fleeing the worsening food crisis and ongoing conflict in the Horn of Africa are being barred from a new aid camp that stands empty and unused while refugee families live in shocking conditions a few kilometers away, Oxfam said today. The agency urged the Kenyan and international governments to heed the UN Refugee Agency's call to open the camp and take quick action to ensure people have access to aid.
The refugee crisis in the region is growing as a steady stream of Somali refugees has turned into a mass exodus, with severe drought and ongoing conflict forcing 1,400 people a day to seek refuge at the Dadaab complex in northeast Kenya. 70,000 Somali refugees have also arrived at the Dolo Ado camps in Ethiopia.
"Women and children have made the most incredible journeys, walking for weeks through the desert and braving hunger and attacks by armed robbers and wild animals, to get to the camps in Kenya. They arrive extremely weak and malnourished, and the least that we can do is ensure that there is water, food and care for them when they get here," said Joost van de Lest, head of Oxfam in Kenya.
The new Ifo II camp was built to try and ease the severe overcrowding in Dadaab, where camps designed for 90,000 people now shelter over 380,000. Yet despite the influx of new arrivals, Ifo II remains empty as the Government of Kenya has refused to allow people to move in. Water systems, latrines and healthcare facilities are ready to use but are standing idle. Another planned extension known as Ifo III has also stalled.
60,000 new arrivals are now instead sheltering in basic tents outside the camp boundaries, with limited access to clean water or toilets, risking an outbreak of disease. Agencies are scaling up efforts to assist the new arrivals, but the quickest and most efficient way would be to let refugees access service that are already in place.
"It is tragic that vulnerable families are trapped in limbo, forced to endure appalling conditions while there are fully functioning services right next door. Their basic needs are being ignored," said Van der Lest.
Oxfam stressed that the Kenyan government deserves recognition for taking on much of the burden of Somalia's refugee crisis over the years, allowing hundreds of thousands of people into the country when other nations have closed their eyes to the crisis. Oxfam called on the international community to provide more funds and support to help Kenya cope with the influx, and to step up efforts to promote a lasting solution to the humanitarian crisis inside Somalia, from which so many refugees are fleeing.
Unable to settle in the new camp, Oxfam said that refugees are forced to settle on community land, exacerbating existing tensions between refugees and the local host community, which is one of the poorest in Kenya and is itself suffering from severe shortages of food and water, after northern Kenya's driest year for six decades.

Foreign affairs: Substance leads to ejection, loss
BOSTON -- As they did two weeks ago, the cameras again zoomed in for a better shot of Michael Pineda, this time spotting a glossy brown substance smeared on the right side of the pitcher's neck. And unlike in New York, the Red Sox could not look the other way.
At the urging of Boston manager John Farrell, Pineda was inspected by home-plate umpire Gerry Davis, who dragged his index finger across a sticky glob of pine tar before ejecting the young right-hander. That forced the Yankees to go to their bullpen early in a 5-1 loss on Wednesday at Fenway Park.View Full Game Coverage
BOSTON -- As they did two weeks ago, the cameras again zoomed in for a better shot of Michael Pineda, this time spotting a glossy brown substance smeared on the right side of the pitcher's neck. And unlike in New York, the Red Sox could not look the other way.
At the urging of Boston manager John Farrell, Pineda was inspected by home-plate umpire Gerry Davis, who dragged his index finger across a sticky glob of pine tar before ejecting the young right-hander. That forced the Yankees to go to their bullpen early in a 5-1 loss on Wednesday at Fenway Park.View Full Game Coverage
"I'll learn from this mistake," said Pineda, whom the Yankees expect will be suspended for violating Rule 8.02, which states that pitchers cannot apply foreign substances to the ball. "It won't happen again."
Rule 8.02(b) says a pitcher shall not ''have on his person, or in his possession, any foreign substance. For such infraction of this section the penalty shall be immediate ejection from the game. In addition, the pitcher shall be suspended automatically.''
Pineda admitted that he applied pine tar to his neck after allowing two first-inning runs because he was having trouble controlling the ball. Pineda said that he did not want to hit any batters, but his application lacked subtlety; Farrell said that he could clearly see the smudge from the first-base dugout.
"I felt like it was a necessity to say something," Farrell said. "You know, I fully respect on a cold night you're trying to get a little bit of a grip. But when it's that obvious, something has got to be said."
General manager Brian Cashman said that the organization was "embarrassed" by the incident.
"It's just obviously a bad situation," Cashman said. "It clearly forced the opponents' hand to do something that I'm sure they didn't want to do, but they had no choice but to do. Obviously we'll deal with the ramifications of that now."
Pineda's ejection dominated the postgame conversation and overshadowed an excellent outing from Boston starter John Lackey. The right-hander held the Yankees to a run on seven hits over eight splendid innings, walking none and striking out a season-high 11.
"We're talking about a guy that got ejected in the second inning instead of talking about the performance of John Lackey, which is a shame in itself," Boston catcher A.J. Pierzynski said.
The Yankees' lone run came in the sixth inning as Carlos Beltran doubled, advanced on a groundout and scored on an Alfonso Soriano sacrifice fly.
Pineda's use of pine tar was a major point of conversation during an April 10 start against Boston in New York, when it appeared for an inning on his palm and wrist, then vanished. Farrell was made aware of the substance too late to complain that day, but Boston's dugout was watching closely on home turf.
Pineda allowed two first-inning runs, on a Dustin Pedroia RBI single and a Pierzynski grounder that scooted through Derek Jeter's legs behind second base and was scored a hit. Photographs of Pineda did not show any substances on his neck in that inning.
Girardi said that he believes Pineda can pitch without pine tar and does not think the incident will rattle the 25-year-old, who had started the year with a 1.00 ERA in his first three starts back from right labrum surgery.
"I think the kid will bounce back, I think the kid will learn from it and we'll move on," Girardi said. "I think he's been through too much the last two years to allow something like this to unnerve him."
As they did on April 10, the Red Sox were less bothered by the fact that Pineda used pine tar than that he made little effort to hide it.
"It's surprising, especially being on TV the first time we played him," Mike Napoli said. "Every pitcher does it. You can't blatantly have it out there showing. It was just kind of silly."
Yankees pitching coach Larry Rothschild rejected the suggestion that the pine tar would have been less of an issue if Pineda had done a better job of hiding it.
"It's illegal, no matter how you do it," Rothschild said. "Obviously you can tell him whatever you want, but it's illegal no matter how you do it. You want me to tell him how to cheat better? That's basically what it is."
Because of the ejection, David Phelps was given as much time as needed to warm up. Phelps allowed a pair of unearned third-inning runs as he completed two frames of emergency relief, with a Jeter throwing error opening the inning.
"I apologize to my teammates," Pineda said. "I put all the relievers in a bad [spot]. I feel so sad."
The Yankees plan on being without Pineda's services for a short period. Major League Baseball will review Wednesday's game and can determine the length of a penalty; in 2012, Rays reliever Joel Peralta was found to have pine tar on his glove and received an eight-game suspension.
"This is not something that we're proud to be sitting in, and we're certainly embarrassed," Cashman said. "When he took the field in the second inning, that should never have taken place."
Brock Holt added a run-scoring single in the eighth inning, driving home Xander Bogaerts and chasing Preston Claiborne. The Yankees used Phelps, Matt Thornton, Claiborne and Adam Warren out of the bullpen following Pineda's ejection.
"I think we handled it pretty well," Girardi said. "I thought we pitched pretty well out of the bullpen, I thought we did a pretty good job. Some pretty good at-bats, obviously John Lackey was tough on us today but we had some opportunities to score. We just didn't get the hit."

A journey for the senses, the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman has launched its 'Culinary Tour' a regionally inspired menu with imaginative, impeccable dishes to bring a taste of Italy to its sophisticated, yet Caribbean casual waterfront restaurant.
My name is Dan Hollis, I am originally from Australia but have been living in the Cayman Islands for the last six years.
Cayman carnival season draws crowds from all corners of the globe. The parade forms part of a weeklong celebration of all things Caribbean - including dance, music, food and drink. Feathered, bejewelled and beguiling creatures adorned in tiny colourful costumes, sashay - drink in hand - down the streets of Cayman. In coordinated formation they trail behind big decorated floats, complete with blaring soca music and mobile bar.
Every year the celebration seems to outdo that of the year before, as participants enthusiastically endeavour to outshine and out-sparkle their efforts made the year befor
In the evening when the warm sun sets on lazy Seven Mile beach days, the cool Caribbean night air fills with the welcome noise of soca sounds and laughter. Cayman comes alive after dark and its nightlife is of the Caribbean's finest. From bustling beach bars to premium pubs and swanky nightclubs, it's night-time entertainment offering is diverse and colourful. Whether you are in the mood for live music, to karaoke your heart out or to dance the night away, Cayman offers something for every mood and every person. How you decide to let your hair down is completely up to you.
As the avid traveller knows, if you want to eat well, eat local.
There are many reasons to support local food establishments and farmers and enjoying locally sourced foods. Not only does it taste better, but it is also healthier. While local produce is allowed to ripen naturally, and so retains its nutrients, food that travels long distances is often picked before it's ripe and chemically treated to survive the long journeys.
It's official; this past weekend, KAABOO Cayman debuted on the shores of the world famous Seven Mile Beach in Grand Cayman and made island history. The sold-out event brought together live entertainment fans from around the world while hosting one of the largest festivals of its kind to ever hit the Caribbean. Not only did KAABOO Cayman deliver a top-tier lineup of chart toppers and hit makers such as The Chainsmokers, Duran Duran, ZEDD, and Jason Derulo, but the two-day event also offered guests an elevated weekend for all "five senses under the sun" with live contemporary art installations, culinary demonstrations, top-tier comedy, and health + spa treatments.

It has always been, and will always be, the role of a well-trained U.S. Army helicopter mechanic to take care of Army aircraft. However, the problem over the past several years has been a simple matter of mathematics – too many man-hour requirements, too few man-hours available. Enter the civilian contractor. Civilian maintenance contractors have always been a part of Army Aviation, augmenting the overall maintenance requirement, taking up the slack in times of conflict. In conflict, the contractor takes on more of the heavy maintenance while the soldier takes on the more dangerous role of crew chief. But with the decrease in combat activities in Afghanistan, the role of the contractor is also decreasing while the traditional role of the maintenance soldier is increasing.
A recent discussion with two of the Army's top maintenance officers – CW5 Leonte Cardona, Aviation Branch maintenance officer, AMCOM and CW5 Don Washabaugh, aviation fleet manager for PEO Aviation – indicated what the Army will be doing to get its soldier mechanics back up to their traditional standards.
"As things wind down, soldiers will once again take the lead as they always have," Washabaugh said. So the plan is to "reconstruct the foundations that the soldiers already know." This includes focused opportunities for the soldiers to re-hone those skills "that they've always had," he said. "They get their basic training in the schoolhouse, then learn their craft in the field."
Cardona added that with the ending of conflict, the Army will be "getting back to basics... It's not that we're getting rid of contractors per se, it's just that we have to right size the quantity in order to provide commanders with the capability that they need." The necessity for contractors has always been there and will always be there, but in a reduced conflict operational tempo, it will be there in a reduced capacity, he said. There are, of course, exceptions. For instance, civilian contractors maintain all Army fixed-wing aircraft. A unit's maintenance officer is essentially just "command and control."
At Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir, Va., there is the situation of two separate rotary wing units operating two different types of aircraft with three different types of maintenance procedures. The DC National Guard's 121st Medical Company operates the UH-72A, using FAA-trained Guardsmen with FAA A&P licenses from FAA. Across the runway is the 12th Aviation Battalion, the Army's rotary-wing VIP flight detachment serving the Military District of Washington and the Joint Forces Headquarters-National Capital Region (JFHQ-NCR).
The 12th Aviation Battalion also operates the UH-72A, as well as UH/VH-60 Black Hawks. However, the UH-72As flown by the 12th Aviation Battalion are maintained under contract by Sikorsky Aerospace Services (SAS), while the UH/VH-60s receive maintenance from a DOD civilian contractor. And like the DC National Guard maintenance personnel, the SAS personnel maintaining the UH-72As are all FAA-licensed A&P mechanics. The reason for the FAA license is that the UH-72A is a commercial-off-the-shelf aircraft, an EC145 painted green. It is maintained to FAA standards so that the Army can sell the aircraft to the civilian market when they are no longer needed.
Also, the Army maintains no spare parts for the UH-72A, nor does it do component repair. When a part needs to be repaired, it is simply sent back to the OEM – Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter) – then a new part is sent to replace it and the old part is repaired and returned to the rotable pool for the next organization that needs that particular part.
As for why DC National Guard maintenance personnel are military and the 12th's maintenance people are civilian, CW3 David Ramsey, contracting officer and government flight representative for the Battalion, said that it simply wouldn't be cost-effective to send active duty soldiers to the A&P certification course. They would only be in the unit for a three-year tour, then transferred to another military base, probably to work on an entirely different type of aircraft. So the active duty soldiers assigned to the maintenance section are only there to make sure the work gets done.
Ramsey also noted that he feels Army Aviation will not be as hard hit as other areas with the budget problem the U.S. Army is facing.
"They've seen how aviation plays a role in combat. But they may go to more of a contractual type of maintenance like we have here (with the 12th) just for that reason. It saves money in the long run because you don't have to pay people to retire."

Skydiving over Glenorchy
A heart stopping skydive over paradise was the perfect way to welcome my parents to the Adventure Capital of the World!
1 / 3
Skydiving over Glenorchy was on my long list of adrenaline pumping must do's while living and working in Queenstown and when my parents came to visit I thought what better way to welcome them to New Zealand than to throw my dad from a plane!
Having been a Queenstowner for nine months I had heard many good reviews about local skydiving company Skydive Paradise so I thought why not give it a go.
I booked the skydive for 10am on a Sunday and woke up in the morning to a perfect blue-bird day without no wind. Perfect skydiving weather I thought as I phoned the number for the weather call.
The friendly girl on the end of the line confirmed my suspicions, yep we were jumping today.
After a light breakfast my father and I drove out to Glenorchy. Skydive Paradise offer complimentary transport but we thought lunch in picturesque Glenorchy would be a great way to celebrate surviving jumping from a plane from 15,000ft.
The drive from Queenstown is truly spectacular as you wind your way along Lake Wakatipu you're greeted with the most incredible views.
Arriving at the dropzone is a highlight in itself, the dropzone is right on Lake Wakatipu and the friendly staff greeted us with big smiles.
After a briefing from the team we were introduced to our tandem masters and got suited up for the big jump!
During the flight to altitude my tandem master Olly provide a running commentary about the area which almost made me forget that I was about to throw my Dad out of a plane over Lake Wakatipu.
As we got closer to 15,000ft my nerves started to get the better of me but Olly assured me it would be worth it so I took a few deep breaths as we shuffled to the plane door.
The door opened and I said a last farewell to my dad before he and his tandem master Mac fell from the plane.
It was our turn, we moved to the open door and swung our legs over the edge, and we were out of the plane and freefalling.
It was potentially the longest 60 seconds of my life and it was a huge relief when Olly pulled the parachute and we started to float back to earth.
The highlight of the experience was when Olly let me steer the parachute, also very brave of him to let me, a nervous Aussie have the controls!
We landed back on the ground and the adrenaline was still pumping for a good hour after landing.
Skydiving over Glenorchy is hands down one of the best experiences I have had during my working holiday in Queenstown!

The Bruins blanked the Chicago Blackhawks in the teams' first meeting at TD Garden since last year's Stanley Cup finals. Tuukka Rask recorded his NHL–leading 7th shutout and Patrice Bergeron scored two goals to add to his league-high plus-minus rating.
BOSTON - On a more perfectly scripted evening, they'd have done their jobs, and then learned after quitting time that they'd clinched one of the championships up for grabs.
No matter. It's only a matter of time before the Bruins become the NHL's first Atlantic Division champions, and if they continue to play as they have this month, first place in the Eastern Conference and even the No. 1 slot in the NHL could be theirs, too.
Thursday night, the B's were more than satisfied to rebound from Monday night's shootout loss to Montreal, which ended a winning streak at 12 games. They did so by defeating the defending Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks, 3-0, at TD Garden – where the 'Hawks so memorably won the Cup in Game 6 of the Final last June 24.
"We knew it was against them," defenseman Johnny Boychuk said, "and we wanted to come out and play great," but the Bruins' main concern, as has been the case since even before the Olympic break (remember the 9-2-2 streak before Sochi?), was more about playing properly than adding points.
Which they did, to the point where the game fell far short of the hype that came before it. The Bruins' start wasn't the best, so Tuukka Rask (28 saves) had to make the bulk of his most his challenging stops in the first period, but the B's gradually slowed the usually relentless Blackhawks – playing without 2013 playoff MVP Patrick Kane, who's hurt – and dictated the pace.
"It was kind of a weird game," said Rask, 8-0-1 in his last nine starts after his league-leading seventh shutout. "A lot of it was played in the neutral zone – not too many scoring chances on either end. So, we managed it better than they did, and it paid off for us."
The Bruins played so well, the 1-0 lead Patrice Bergeron gave them when he tipped Matt Bartkowski's shot past Corey Crawford after 11:50 might have stood up until the final buzzer. That they scored twice within 13 seconds early in the third period, though, made for a better story.
Bergeron, who had already extended his goal-scoring streak to a career-high five games, followed Carl Soderberg's 14th of the season with his 25th. While he probably won't match the career-high 31 goals he scored in 2005-06, Bergeron's goal output is the second-best of his career, and second-best on the team this year to Jarome Iginla's 28.
And he's not skimping on his well-established defensive game, either. Plus-2 on Thursday, Bergeron leads the league at plus-38.
"I think it's pretty clear to everyone who's watched (Bergeron) play that he values every part of his game," coach Claude Julien said. "Whether it's faceoff percentage (he won 15 of 21 on Thursday – 71 percent), plus-minus ... he takes those things very seriously.
"I think he's proud of what he is. He's comfortable in the role he's asked to play, and at the same time, it's always nice to see guys like that get rewarded with some decent stats, which he deserves."
Bergeron, who famously played Game 6 of last year's finals with lung, rib and shoulder injuries, credited wingers Brad Marchand and Reilly Smith for helping him boost his scoring totals, but said production isn't his primary goal.
"I'm definitely happy it's going in," he said, "but that being said, I'm happy when I defend a goal as much as scoring them."
Thursday's win, which would have clinched the division title if Tampa Bay had lost, gave the B's a nine-point lead over Pittsburgh in the Eastern Conference standings, and kept them within a point of St. Louis in the overall standings.
And yes, it was nice to do all that against the Blackhawks.
"There is definitely some history with them from last year," Bergeron said, "It's always fun to be a part of those games."

The iPad 2 is here! You've run down the specs - including the 2x as fast A5 processor, the lighter 1.33lb weight, and the crazy-thin .34 inch "thickness." You've considered whether it's worth it for iPad 2 owners to upgrade. You've taken a look at what's new in iOS 4.3. Heck, you've even read up on how to transfer your data from your original iPad to the iPad 2. What's left to do? Check out TiPb breathlessly unpacking and examining the real deal.
If you waited in line today and picked one up - congrats! If you are wondering what we think of Apple's latest, here's the short version: it's a thinner, lighter, faster iPad with a couple of cameras. That may sound anti-climactic - but after using the iPad 2 for just a very short while we're starting to suspect that it's anti-climactic in the same way that "the iPad is just a big iPhone" was anti-climactic in 2010. In other words: it's an experience that can't quite be quantified but gets under your skin in the same way the original iPad did. There's "nothing new" here to most people, but the execution of all the little details adds up to something pretty special.
As far as the hardware is concerned, we're impressed. Looking at the spec differences between the iPad 1 and the iPad 2, you might be tempted to say that there's not much improvement here. But .5" vs .34" only tells part of the story. The full story is that the tapered back of the iPad 2 makes it feel thinner than any device this size has a right to be. It's kind of amazing. Unfortunately, we can't quite say the same for the weight - while the iPad 2 is lighter, it's still not something you're going to happily hold at arm's length unsupported for any appreciable length of time.
A full photo gallery is after the break and video is coming right quick - keep it locked to TiPb as we unpack our thoughts and impressions of the iPad 2 this weekend and, heck, for the months to come.
[gallery link="file" columns="2" orderby="title"]
(Full disclosure: this white iPad 2 is for @CrackBerryKevin, who plans on putting the thing head-to-head with the RIM BlackBerry PlayBook when the time comes. He also opted for the "CrackBerry Orange" SmartCover. He's a BlackBerry user at heart, but it's hard to resist the iPad 2, innit?)

I'm already in love with Antwerp but there are moments when I fall a little bit more in love. Yesterday I experienced one of those moments, in the Middelheim Park, which is almost at my doorstep. It's separated from the Nightingale Park with only one cobblestone street. Middelheim Park is an open-air museum, a beautiful park with about 400 sculputures. The first international exhibition was held there in 1950 and yesterday they were wrapping up one by the Austrian Erwin Wurm (the boat and pumpkin head are his).
First I took a long stroll in the Park with my camera. The weather was beautiful, sunny and 26°C. Afterwards I sat down under a tree at the Park's café with a glass of rosé. It was precisely at that moment that I fell more in love. Moving here is probably one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. It's sort of my motto in life to remain detached but I think I'm failing big time when it comes to Antwerp. I guess Antwerp attachment is not really so bad.
Have a fabulous Friday!

Air-soft entrepreneur has a blast making money
Staff writer
Aaron Woelk, 15, did not start out trying to make money with his air-soft gun hobby; he just wanted a gun that worked so he could shoot his friends, all in fun, of course.
"I had been saving my money for a while, looking online, and learning all I could about them before I bought my first one," Woelk said. "Then I bought one and it broke right away. I tried to fix it, then figured out I could make more money just selling the parts online and using that to buy a new one."
Without realizing it, Woelk's air-soft business in Goessel was underway, and before he knew it, he had a whole bedroom at his home full of air soft guns, broken air-soft guns, pellets, and lots and lots of parts.
"It's just a blast, something fun to do," Woelk said. "My friends and I get together and plan strategies, ambushes, and just have a lot of fun hunting each other down; but no one gets hurt. These things just shoot little plastic pebbles, and we all wear safety goggles. I make sure everyone's goggles are on before I say, 'go'."
Woelk started buying and selling air-soft guns and parts in October 2011. Since then friends at school and online have learned to come to him with mechanical problems.
"Everyone online knows me and we trade parts a lot," he said. "That is really how I make the money. I can buy broken down or jammed guns for $50 to $60, take them all apart, replace the broken parts, and then resell them for $100 to $120."
Woelk admitted however, that it was not really about the money.
"I'm saving what I can for college, but really I just do this for fun, and I make multiple trades for parts I need more than I really sell."
However, Woelk found that his air-soft gun hobby could also bring in money through planned battles.
"People just didn't really have a place to shoot these. So I organize events where I charge $5 per person to come out and use my equipment," he said. "It's much cheaper than other places. In Derby and Wichita you have to pay at least $10 per person just to go shoot air-soft guns on a range."
Woelk said his friends were very supportive of his hobby and offered their pastures as places for the group to get together and battle.
"Last week we had eight people, Tuesday there were more than 20 who wanted to come out," he said. "Everyone is always asking when we are going to do it again. It's just so much fun, a great stress reliever from school."
Woelk is a typical busy student at Goessel High School. In addition to being a mostly straight-A student, he plays percussion in the school band, runs cross-country, and plays basketball. He also works part-time as a dietary aide at Bethesda Home in Goessel.
"It's always hard to find a time when we can get together," he said. "But I enjoy working on air-soft whenever I have a free moment. It just something I like to do. And I can pay for it with all my trading and parts sales."
Woelk works with both gas and spring powered air-soft guns. His future plans include going to an official air-soft war games course with his friends, but for now, a local pasture is great for playing with air-soft guns.
The high school sophomore said making money is not hard when one enjoys what he is doing and is willing to work at it.
"It is more profitable than playing video games all the time," he said. "I still do that, but this is actually more fun."

Traditional fishing methods, scientific surveys, population modeling, and fishery management strategies are all dependent upon a fundamental understanding of fish behavior. The Fisheries Behavioral Ecology Program, based at Oregon State University's Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport, Oregon, conducts research aimed at understanding the relationships between fish behavior and environmental variables (physical and biological), and how this influences distribution, survival, and recruitment of economically important fish species. Program research also includes experimental analysis of fishing gear performance, and the survival and recovery of fishes from stresses imposed during fishing activity.
The goal of the Program is to provide critical information needed to improve survey techniques, to improve predictions on population abundance, distribution and survival, and to conserve populations of economically significant resource species and their habitats. The Program has four primary research topics to meet this goal.
Research emphasis is placed on five species that comprise the largest fisheries in Alaska and the northeast Pacific Ocean: Walleye Pollock, Sablefish, Pacific Halibut, Rock Sole, Pacific cod, and Lingcod. Experimental research is conducted with all life history stages from eggs to adults, and brood stock populations and cultures of prey are maintained for larval and juvenile fishes.
Emphasis is also placed on peer-reviewed publication of basic research applicable to species and issues relevant to the Alaska Fisheries Science Center, and collaboration is routinely conducted with other agencies, including:
- Hatfield Marine Science Center
- Oregon State University (Department of Fisheries & Wildlife and Coastal Oregon)
- International Pacific Halibut Commission
- Oregon Department of Fisheries and Wildlife
- Northwest Fisheries Science Center, NOAA
Interns, graduate students, and part-time employees are supported through a variety of mechanisms at both regional and national levels.

Engine: Two-stroke single
Displacement: 395cc
Transmission: Four-speed
Ignition: FEMSA flywheel magneto
Dry Weight: 231 lbs.
Owner: Malcolm Smith
Few motorcycles have started more off-road dreams than this one.
Ridden across a deserted beach and into posterity by Malcolm Smith, this 1970 Husqvarna 400 Cross starred in what many consider the defining scene from the greatest motorcycle movie ever made, "On Any Sunday."
While the 1971 film is renowned for increasing the recognition of motorcycle racing in general, the scene at the end of the film, where Smith, dirt-tracker Mert Lawwill and actor Steve McQueen go play-riding by the sea, convinced countless Americans just how much fun the sport could be.
For that scene, Smith, an off-road racer and desert aficionado, was aboard one of the best off-road bikes of the day—a Husqvarna 400 Cross.
Though relatively unknown outside racing circles then, Husqvarna was a force in international motocross, ultimately winning 14 World MX and 24 World Enduro titles through the 1960s and '70s. There was more to this bike than movie-star looks.
Imported by U.S. motocross pioneer Edison Dye, the man who promoted many of the races that started the sport on American soil, Huskies had built an early reputation for 250cc and 125cc success. But in 1969, the company branched out with an open-class machine.
A bigger version of the popular, world championship-winning 250 Cross, the 395cc two-stroke single was a light, sharp-handling performer, known for excellent power and decent factory suspension.
Those capabilities, along with world-class talent at the controls, spurred the Husqvarna 400 Cross to competition success in the 1971 Baja 1000, where it was ridden to victory by Smith and Gunnar Nilsson.
In many ways, though, racing success couldn't be as influential as the free-riding footage that capped a documentary about motorcycle racing. That scene in particular is credited with a reported sales spike for Husqvarna after "On Any Sunday" hit theaters.
You can see this 1970 Husqvarna 400 Cross these days in the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in Pickerington, Ohio. It's currently on display as part of the Off Road Gallery of the Hall of Fame.

I used the timer instead of getting David to take them because he isn't coming home for lunch today and by the time he gets home after work the light will be too gloomy. Perhaps it'd be a happier dress if I was wearing it out to dinner instead of quickly putting it on for a couple of photos before getting back into warmer clothes!

Siberian Chrome Diopside Gems from Russian Mines
We have a mine located in Siberia (in Russia), and we produce ten to fifteen thousand carats of faceted chrome diopside per month. It is cut mainly into calibrated sizes, with few free-size large stones. It is also separated by quality, AA, A, AB, B, and C.
Most likely you are here because you need a reliable and reasonable Chrome Diopside source. We are siteholders with over 30 years of experience in the gem business. And we're ready to provide you with exactly the gems you need.
We sell Chrome Diopside to the trade. If you would like to purchase, we now have opened our online web store, CLICK HERE!
Chrome Diopside is a beautiful green stone. It is highly refractive which gives it great sparkle (nearly twice the refraction index compared to emerald). It is rare! Diopside is found all over the planet, but the rare top-gem-quality chrome diopside is found in Siberia. In Siberia, it is too cold to mine during the winter, making an extra task of keeping production levels even throughout the year. On the MOHS scale of hardness, it is rated a 6-6.5, and is suitable for jewelry. It is best to cut the diopside in shapes with rounded corners -- such as oval or round. It has two planes, so you have to be extra careful when you facet it. This is also why there is approximately 90% loss on the rough. (So to cut 10 carats of polished Chrome Diopside will require 100 carats of the rough.)
Vertelite is the gem name for Chrome Diopside that comes from our mines. It is named from the latin root Vert (green) and lite (stone).
Please don't hesitate to contact us with your questions through email firstname.lastname@example.com.

NIH GRANTS AND PREVIOUS RO1's
What research programs does the
Foundation currently support?
the Foundation supports two programs: The David Mahoney Neuroimaging Program
and the Clinical Neuroscience Research Program. Please see the descriptions of
both Programs on this site. In general, both programs focus on research in
humans, including human tissues. Animal model studies are only considered if
the research is directly applicable to humans, not yet feasible in humans, but
is expected to become feasible in humans immediately after the animal model
study is completed.
Neuroimaging Program studies currently utilize
structural, physiological or cellular/molecular imaging techniques, or
combinations of these, and tend to focus on: 1) understanding normal brain
functioning, how this is altered by disease or injury (identifying biomarkers),
and how the brain recovers or repairs; 2) assessing and improving diagnostic
approaches and measuring the effectiveness of experimental therapies; and 3)
refining and advancing imaging technologies to address specific clinical
questions. For degenerative diseases,
studies also examine developmental processes of disease, surrogate measures of
early disease existence, and measures of disease progression.
The Clinical
Neuroscience Research program
tends to focus on: 1) translating promising animal model interventions or
clinical observations for treating devastating brain conditions or injuries
into small-sale studies in humans with these conditions to see if the
intervention shows any effect, and designing neuroethical guidelines for such
studies; 2) identifying functions of specific neurons and neural networks
involved in brain diseases or injuries and developing therapeutic interventions
to alter these; and 3) assessing outcomes of the effects of various therapies
used to treat brain injuries, such as stroke. The program also occasionally
considers studies of complex cognitive processes, such as creativity.

and only by invitation.
Neuroimaging and Clinical Neuroscience Research grants, NIH scientists can be
collaborators (co-PIs or co-investigators) on grant applications submitted by a
PI from U.S. medical schools or free-standing research institutes. The grant is
awarded to the PI's institution, not to the NIH. The NIH receives a subcontract from the PI's

Who may apply to the Neuroimaging
program and why is it generally limited to new or newly independent
The Neuroimaging
program is designed to support early promising career investigators. Therefore,
support is focused on faculty researchers who have demonstrated the potential
for independent research careers who are at the assistant professor level, or
in the first few years of their associate professor appointments. Post-doctoral
fellows are not eligible to apply unless they will have a faculty appointment
at the time that the grant would be awarded.
(See post-doctoral eligibility
question below.) Applications from junior investigators that are an
extension of the work of a senior mentor, particularly if from the same
institution, are discouraged.
Clinical Neuroscience Research program invites junior and senior level
investigators. Post-doctoral fellows are not eligible to apply.
No. The Clinical Neuroscience Research program
focuses on human research. The Neuroimaging program focuses on patient-oriented
studies (research with patients or patient tissues) and on brain functioning in
health and how functions are altered by diseases and injuries. Research that does not involve patients or
patient tissues is supported only when the investigation is directly applicable
to human health and functioning, is not yet feasible in humans, but is expected
to become feasible in humans immediately after the animal model study is completed.
Neuroimaging and Clinical Neuroscience Research programs focus on research in
humans, including human tissues. If research is directly related to human
health, not yet feasible to be undertaken in humans, but is anticipated to be
ready for human studies immediately following completion of the animal model
study, the study could be considered. The Foundation's guidelines as outlined
under the Neuroimaging program are as follows:
for animal model studies of brain conditions or injuries will be considered
only if they relate directly to the human but cannot yet feasibly be undertaken
in humans, and are anticipated to be translated into the human following the
three-year grant period. Such studies that are not undertaken in humans but
directly relate to the human include research on: 1) normal brain anatomy and
physiology in the animal model that can help to better understand the roles of
cells and networks in specific cognitive functions and how these are altered by
disease and injury; and 2) animal models of human diseases, either through
insertion of human genes or through naturally occurring or induced disease
states that are directly related to the human condition."
see the instructions for the Clinical
Neuroscience Research program and for the David Mahoney Neuroimaging
Program. Most
proposals to the Clinical Neuroscience Research program are invited.
Nonetheless, clinical investigators who have not been specifically invited to
the Clinical Neuroscience Research Program also may submit a preliminary
proposal to this program. Whether the preliminary proposal is invited or
submitted without invitation, the investigator should provide a Letter of
Inquiry and a two-page preliminary proposal describing the research

Who is eligible to apply to the
David Mahoney Neuroimaging Program, and why is the program generally limited to
new or newly independent investigators?
in the David Mahoney Neuroimaging program is on assisting promising early
career investigators to obtain pilot study data concerning novel hypotheses
that will help them compete for larger-scale funding from other sources. To be
eligible, applicants must have faculty appointments. Early career investigators
most often are investigators at the assistant professor level and those who are
in their early years of their associate professor appointments. Senior
investigators may apply only if the proposed study represents a new research
direction. Please see eligibility criteria specified in the RFP. Post-docs are
not eligible to apply unless they can provide evidence that they will have a
faculty appointment prior to the start of the grant period.
In applying to the David Mahoney
Neuroimaging program, are there stipulations concerning factors such as
seniority, or number(s) of grants that I have from the NIH or similar federal
research funding agencies?
Please refer to the RFP for this information.
I am an associate professor. Can
I apply to the Neuroimaging program?
Yes, associate professors, especially those in
their early years of their associate professorship, are eligible to apply for a
Neuroimaging grant. Please see criteria in the Neuroimaging RFP.
I am a post-doc. Can I apply to
the Neuroimaging program?
are not eligible to apply unless they will have a junior faculty appointment by
the time grant funding would begin. The
applicant needs to have the chair of the department provide a letter stating the
impending appointment and its date.
You are considered a senior investigator and
are eligible to apply for a Neuroimaging grant only if your proposal represents
a new research direction for you. The award would be limited to $100,000.
In the Clinical Neuroscience
Research Program, are clinical researchers at any stage in their careers
eligible, or are there stipulations pertaining to either junior or senior
at any stage of their research careers may apply if they have a faculty
appointment. For Clinical Neuroscience Research, you may apply regardless of whether you have NIH grants so long as the Dana submission has no overlap with those grants.
No. Post
docs are not eligible to apply. Applicants must have a faculty appointment to
be eligible.
see the website descriptions of studies funded to date under the Clinical Neuroscience
Research Program. Please also review the general description of
priorities under this program provided early in this FAQ section.
Yes, but
only if the studies are directly applicable to human health, cannot yet be
feasibly undertaken in humans or human tissues, but are anticipated to lead to
human clinical studies following completion of the animal model study.
Collaborations are encouraged for this purpose. The grant would be awarded to
the PI's institution, with subcontracts provided to collaborating institutions.
Can applicants apply to the
Neuroimaging program or the Clinical Neuroscience Research program if they are
from institutions that do not have a traditional tenure track system?
Yes. But
because grants are made to institutions and not to individuals, applicants in
institutions without tenure track systems should describe their appointments
and their Institution's commitment to them during the period of the proposed grant.
This applies to both Neuroimaging and Clinical Neuroscience Research program
Can applicants apply to the David
Mahoney Neuroimaging program or the Clinical Neuroscience Research program if
they have faculty appointments but do not have tenure or are not on a tenure
Institutions vary in their tenure situations and decisions. Applicants will
need, however, to describe their appointments and their institution's
commitment to them during the period of the proposed grant. This applies to
both Neuroimaging and Clinical Neuroscience Research program applicants.
grants are awarded to institutions and not individuals, institutions should put
forward candidates that have an institutional commitment for the full grant
period. This commitment is especially significant for Neuroimaging applicants,
since grants are intended to assist promising early-career investigators.
Therefore, reviewers place significant weight on the investigator's career
trajectory. Applicants with limited appointments are at a competitive
disadvantage, and institutions should carefully consider the advisability of
selecting such applicants. If an institution decides to put forward a candidate
for a Neuroimaging grant who is on an annual appointment track, the candidate
will be eligible only if he or she submits a written letter from the department
chair stating that the applicant's appointment will be renewed through the
grant period.
What if I am not yet a professor
but have two RO1's and the research for which I want to apply to Dana is not
related to the areas of research covered by my existing R01 grants. Can I apply
to the Neuroimaging Program?
Yes. If you have two RO1's, you qualify as an
"established" investigator and may apply, regardless of whether this Dana
application represents a change in direction.
If the Dana grant is a change in research direction, that fact may enhance
your chances. You and your Institution should note, however, that priority is
given to assisting new career investigators.
You may
apply. You have one RO1, which makes you
a "newly independent" researcher.
in that situation can apply but should note in a cover letter that they have
just received a second RO1.
You are
eligible to apply as a newly independent investigator. The number of R01's is
based on those for which you are a PI.
Can I reapply to the David
Mahoney Neuroimaging Program if my application is not selected?
written feedback will indicate whether you are invited to reapply.
Yes if
you are submitting a different proposal from the one originally submitted, or
have been invited to reapply once you have responded to feedback. Please include the title of the proposal at the top, and indicate whether this is a new proposal or a resubmission of a previous proposal.
the Foundation does not provide a second grant for investigators, since grants
are intended to enable investigators to develop preliminary data that will
increase their competitiveness for larger-scale grants from other sources.
Occasionally, however, the Foundation does award a second grant for an

What some writers who follow this area of policy suggest is that states with aggressive prison prevention programs are seeing results. Two weeks ago, Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey called for a change in how the state manages drug offenders.
Typically, this kind of enthusiasm comes from those who sympathize with the incarcerated. Now, however, calls for change are coming from a different source: those who make state budgets.
Writer Mike Maciag (Governing magazine) has explained that analysts look at the number of prisoners serving at least one year, and then compare that to the total population.
Maciag was not talking specifically about drug offenses or any other particular crime, but it is fair to say that drug policy is an area where governments can make adjustments to penalties and free up prison space for violent offenders.
Dealing drugs will never be a legal, or even decriminalized, activity in any state that is serious about reducing crime and addiction. The penalties around possession, however, could be tinkered with in order to lower prison populations.
As it stands, possessing more than 16 ounces of marijuana can land someone upwards of 15 years in prison, although it probably does not get to that point often. Having that much marijuana may be inventory for which to deal later, and that is a different ball game, but if it is not, perhaps there are alternatives to prison time.
Prison reform is never met with open arms. Who are the people who would benefit? Prisoners? They don't vote. Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) introduced a bill that would transform our prison system. It was dead on arrival. I was asked by two of his staffers to help with the project, but it was shot down so fast, there was no time to get involved.
For the longest time, the old progressive chants to keep young men out of jail sounded like apologist policies that were flimsy as far as crime fighting is concerned. But the country has over one million people behind bars, and states can no longer shoulder the cost of keeping an inmate behind bars.
Non-violent, first time offenders need to be re-purposed, and the system needs to be revamped.
The Enemies of the Volt
I cannot believe it took this long, but sure enough enemies of the electric Chevrolet Volt are in full swing with claims that the car catches fire and is unsafe.
How did critics miss the chance to squash this idea sooner? Even with relatively slow reporting, the word is out that the Volt is unsafe, even though not one has yet to catch fire.
Alternative energy nerds, and I count myself as one, have been waiting for this car for a long time. Now, it's here, and it is not selling so well. But it is not the failure that the media is making it out to be. It has plenty of pick-up, and it was given a 5 stars (out of a possible 5) by the National Highway Safety Administration.
So why the bad press? Well, the car is still in its infancy, so there are going to be kinks to work out. Second, there is a misconception that this car is an Obama green energy idea as part of the bailout of the auto industry.
In fact, the first president to subsidize hybrid cars as a means to encourage alternative energy was George W. Bush. Bush was also president when the government decided to bail out General Motors.
The Volt was in the works before Obama was elected (although probably not before he actually started running for the job). In fact, even Bob Lutz, former vice chair at GM, has even said that the project was a GM idea, not a government idea.
The Volt could be ridiculed off the market, but perhaps this will work in favor of the embattled car. The price could get bumped down, which would make it more appealing.

WOODSTOCK – A McHenry man who shot another man and attacked him with a machete has asked to withdraw his guilty plea and wants a judge to re-sentence him.
Armando Ferral-Mujica, 22, is serving 16 years for an aggravated battery with a firearm, Class X felony, conviction. His attorney Special Public Defender Henry Sugden says his client did not fully understand the plea agreement. Attorneys are at odds over what happened during a private conference with the judge.
Sugden did not represent Ferral-Mujica when he pleaded guilty in December 2012, but was appointed after previous defense attorney, Dan Hofmann, withdrew from the case.
Ferral-Mujica, prosecutors said, shot a man once in the chest near the heart. The bullet passed through the victim's chest and lodged in an arm, near the armpit. The gun jammed, at which point the victim was attacked with a machete. The man was struck in the head and the face, and one of his thumbs was nearly severed. He survived the Dec. 3, 2011, attack.
Attempted murder charges were dropped in exchange for Ferral-Mujica's guilty plea.
According to an affidavit filed by Hofmann shortly after the sentencing, a private conference was held with attorneys from both sides and Judge Gordon Graham, during which time the judge indicated he would sentence Ferral-Mujica to eight to 12 years in prison. Instead, at a Feb. 14 sentencing hearing, Graham gave him 16 years.
In court documents, Ferral-Mujica – who requires the assistance of a Spanish interpreter for court appearances – says he would not have pleaded guilty had he been aware that the judge would deviate from the recommended sentence.
"It seems clear there was – at the bare minimum – a misunderstanding by Mr. Mujica what the plea arrangement was," Sugden said at a hearing Thursday.
Assistant State's Attorney Patrick Kenneally says that Hofmann "misrepresented" the conference with the judge, and added that sentencing range was up to Graham.
"[Graham] stated that [he] was uncomfortable giving a definitive answer without knowing all the relevant facts and circumstances and would await sentencing before making a final decision," Kenneally wrote in court documents.
Judge Graham will issue a decision Oct. 24 on Ferral-Mujica's request.
Related attempted murder and aggravated battery charges against Ferral-Mujica's brother, Orlando, are pending.

Apple schedules June conference, but iPhone hopes dim
It's a tantalizing bit of expectation building. Apple's invitation to its annual developers conference is tagged with this phrase: "It's the week we've all been waiting for."
But if it's that elusive iPhone 5 you'd like to see, you might need to keep waiting.
Apple announced Wednesday its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will be held June 11-15 in San Francisco. Tickets to the event sold out in two hours.
The conference has been the launching point for two iPhones (the iPhone 3GS in 2009 and the iPhone 4 in 2010) and, as such, talk of the yearly gathering inevitably turns to phone dreams among the Apple faithful.
The line on the invitation doesn't do much to dissuade that hope. But keep reading, and you'll find that that's about it.
Like last year, when the new Mac operating system was front and center, this year's announcement focuses more on software (you know, the stuff developers actually work with) than teasing a new product.
"We have a great WWDC planned this year and can't wait to share the latest news about iOS and OS X Mountain Lion with developers," said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of marketing, in a written statement. "The iOS platform has created an entirely new industry with fantastic opportunities for developers across the country and around the world."
Of course, if Apple plans a big surprise, they wouldn't admit it now.
But other factors also make a new phone seem less likely.
The iPhone 4S wasn't rolled out until October of last year. It would be out of character for Apple to announce another phone only eight months later.
Also? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Apple announced Tuesday that it sold 35.1 million iPhones during the first three months of this year, outpacing analysts' predictions. So, despite initial grumbling that, aside from a better camera and faster processor, the 4S wasn't much of an upgrade over its predecessor, the current model is obviously doing just fine.
Some early pundits agree that given Apple's announcements over the past 24 hours, we're unlikely to see a new iPhone in June.
"Based on tempered expectations for the current quarter ... it's unlikely the company would plan for an iPhone release this summer and will almost certainly shoot for a fall release," wrote Sean Ludwig in VentureBeat. "Instead, we expect WWDC to be a lot like last year, where software is in the spotlight."

Greetings from the Salton Sea: Folly and Intervention in the Southern California Landscape, 1905-2005
Center for American Places, 2005 - History - 136 pages
The Salton Sea is a man-made catastrophe, redolent with the smell of algae and decomposing fish. Nevertheless, the lake's vast, placid expanses continue to attract birdwatchers, tourists and artists. In Greetings from the Salton Sea, photographer Kim Stringfellow explores the history of California's largest lake from its disastrous beginnings—the "sea" was formed when Colorado River levees broke and spilled into a depression 280 feet below sea level—to its heyday as a desert paradise in the 1950s and its current state as an environmental battleground.
Like the 400-plus species of birds that use the lake as a halfway point in their annual migration, developers flocked to the water too: they planted palm trees, built golf courses, and hired showstoppers such as the Beach Boys to perform at area resorts. These days, politicians seek to redirect the lake's only source of replenishment—agricultural runoff from surrounding farms—to water golf courses and green lawns elsewhere. Greetings from the Salton Sea's photographs capture the war among policymakers, environmentalists, developers, and the individuals still living along the lake's shores. As Stringfellow aptly documents, it is a war for water and, ultimately, for existence.

Ben Affleck Covers The Hollywood Reporter October 2012
Ben Affleck Says "Hollywood Has a Lot in Common With Jurassic Park"
Ben Affleck is in the midst of a media blitz leading up to Friday's release of Argo. Ben's on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter's latest issue, and inside it, he opens up about "kind" wife Jennifer Garner, rehab, and the serious pressures of Hollywood. Ben's best friend, Matt Damon, also chimed in about Ben's life and work in THR's latest. Matt's been showing lots of support for Ben's latest, even stepping out last night to join producer George Clooney and Ben at Argo's NYC premiere. Here's more from Ben:
- Ben on Hollywood pressures: "Anxiety is a kind of fuel that activates the fight-or-flight part of the brain in me. It makes sure that a velociraptor isn't around the corner and that you do as much as you possibly can to survive. Because Hollywood has a lot in common with Jurassic Park and its primeval-dinosaur universe."
- Ben on turning 40: "It was not fun for me. It's this moment of bifurcation between youth and middle age. One wants to think of oneself as young. One does not want to think: 'Wait a minute! How can I be halfway to death?'"
- Ben on rehab: "I went to rehab for being 29 and partying too much and not having a lot of boundaries, and to clear my head and try to get some idea of who I wanted to be. It was more a 'let me get myself straight,' before it became a rite of passage."
- Ben on Jennifer Garner: "Jennifer played such a profound role in making me a better person. We don't have a perfect marriage, but she inspired me; and finding myself in that marriage and having a child dovetailed with getting to be a little more mature. . . . She truly is kind. She means no one any harm. She doesn't have ill will for any person. She's not competitive with other people. She's not spiteful. It's one of those things where it becomes almost aggravating at times. Every time I go, 'F--- him!' I see in her face that she just thinks that's petty and small."

Date: April 1, 2011
To: Mr. Landon Dean Fordham
To the above tenant in possession of below described premises:
I am issuing 13 day notice for EVICTION. You will have 13 days in which you can either gather your belongings and promptly vacate the premises, or wait until the final day. After which, you will be physically removed from the property.
You are being evicted due to breech of contract and destruction of property. Expansions only to the FRONT of the house, within reasonable limits, were discussed. Not only have these limits been exceeded, but additions to the back of the house were also made!
Remodeling and gutting of the home was never approved, nor was changing the initial layout and base structure. And due to property damage, there are now leaks in both the upper AND lower levels of the home. On top of which, the landlord has received numerous complaints about nightly disturbances.
After 13 days from this day that you don't comply with the notice will result in immediate and forceful removal at my discretion.
Thank you for your cooperation

Life Before Death
June 7, 2011
by Pamela Katz Ressler, MS-PREP, RN, HN-BC, PREP-Aired blog moderator and administrator, Program in Pain Research, Education and Policy (PREP) at Tufts University School of Medicine
The global burden of pain is immense. Pain is universal; including all constructs of ethnicity, nationality, culture, race, socioeconomic status, age and gender. Although pain is ubiquitous, it is woefully under-treated globally. The International Association of the Study of Pain , along with other prominent pain organizations such as The Mayday Fund, the Institute for Palliative Medicine at San Diego Hospice, the Union for International Cancer Control, have joined with the Lien Foundation by co-sponsoring a series of 50 short documentary films, released for viewing each week beginning in May 2011, highlighting the international epidemic of the under-treatment of pain. The project, Life Before Death, will culminate with the release of a feature film in late 2011, followed by a one-hour TV documentary.
We welcome your comments on the overall Life Before Death project or the specific short films, which we will highlight on the Tufts University Pain Research, Education and Policy Program's PREP-Aired blog each week. Let's start a dialog, that will be heard round the world, affirming the right of all people to have access to effective pain treatment.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara women's basketball team used a 29-4 run in the first half, then held off a pressing, turnover hungry St. Mary's team in the second half to pick up their first win of the season, 61-52 on Thursday night at the Thunderdome.
The victory was the first for UCSB head coach Carlene Mitchell and her staff. And, it came about because of what Mitchell and her staff stressed to her team following two losses to open the season - tough defense and rebounding.
UCSB held St. Mary's to just 29.2 percent shooting, including a putrid 14.3 clip in the first half. The Gauchos (1-2) also outrebounded the Gaels (1-2) 37-29.
The Gauchos played perhaps their best 20 minutes of basketball in a long time with a thrilling first half. UCSB turned a 6-3 advantage into a 35-7 lead thanks to stellar defense and getting their arms into the passing lane, turning the Gaels miscues into a lot of points.
During the run, Nicole Nesbit scored seven of her team-high 15 points. Emilie Johnson finished with 14 points and Sweets Underwood had her second double-double of the season with 11 points and 12 rebounds. Melissa Zornig had nine points and seven boards.
UCSB shot 40.9 percent in the first half, including five three-pointers, and took a 35-14 lead into the break.
However, an inspired St. Mary's team came flying out in the second half. The Gaels put on a pressure, full-court defense and forced 16 second-half turnovers by the Gauchos. UCSB was flummoxed by St. Mary's defense and the Gaels closed to within six points at 51-45 on Jasmine Smith's three-pointer with 1:25 to go.
Smith, of course, is the Gaels player who lit up UCSB for a career-high 27 points last season in St. Mary's 24-point win, but finished with 15 points on just 5 of 15 shooting.
The turning point, though, came when St. Mary's coach Paul Thomas was whistled for a technical foul with 3:10 to go and UCSB holding a tenuous 48-40 lead. Thomas was upset that a charge call was whistled against his team and he high-stepped on the sideline in anger.
Emilie Johnson knocked down both free throws, part of her 8-for-8 night at the line, to turn the tide and keep St. Mary's at bay. On the night UCSB shot 73.1 percent (19 of 26) from the charity stripe.
UCSB will host Loyola Marymount on Saturday with a 2 p.m. game as part of its three-game homestand. Tickets are available by calling 893-UCSB (8272) or clicking here.
The game can be heard live on AM 990 or online by clicking here, with the pregame show starting at 1:30.

Canadian Cancer Society Welcomes Renewed Funding for Canadian Partnership Against Cancer
10 March 2011
Toronto -
The Canadian Cancer Society welcomes today's announcement by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to renew its support for the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer (CPAC).
CPAC will receive $250 million over five years to continue the implementation of the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control.
"The Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control draws on the strengths of many committed organizations, including the Canadian Cancer Society, to work together to lessen the impact of cancer in this country," says Peter Goodhand, CEO and President, Canadian Cancer Society. "This renewed funding will allow valuable work to continue in preventing cancer, saving lives and supporting people living with cancer."
In November 2006, the Federal Government announced the creation of the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer – an independent, not-for-profit organization which works to reduce the impact of cancer in Canada through the implementation of the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control.
"The Society was a pivotal member of the cancer community that came together to develop the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control and we advocated strongly for its funding and implementation," says Goodhand. "We have been contributing to the work of CPAC and we look forward to continuing to work with our partners in fighting cancer in Canada.
"Together we are driving excellence in cancer and chronic disease prevention, screening, and cancer care, and focusing on improving the cancer journey for patients and their families. An important part of this work is continuing joint efforts with First Nations, Inuit and Métis partners to address their unique cancer control needs and reduce the impact of cancer and chronic diseases in their communities. Our ultimate goal is to make more inroads into preventing cancer so we'll see fewer Canadians diagnosed with this disease in the future."
The Canadian Cancer Society is a national community-based organization of volunteers whose mission is the eradication of cancer and the enhancement of the quality of life of people living with cancer. When you want to know more about cancer, visit our website www.cancer.ca or call our toll-free, bilingual Cancer Information Service at 1 888 939-3333.

WEST BRIDGEWATER, Mass. — The Shaw's supermarket chain says it is closing six underperforming stores in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
The stores scheduled to close by early next month are in Fall River, Fairhaven, Stoughton and Taunton in Massachusetts and Westerly and Woonsocket in Rhode Island.
The West Bridgewater, Mass.-based chain said in a statement that the stores have not been profitable for quite some time and efforts to turn them around have not worked.
The company said although difficult, the decision "was guided by what is best for the company's ongoing success and future growth."
The company, owned by Cerberus Capital management LC, still operates more than 160 Shaw's and Star Market stores in five New England states.
