Apple has told 9to5Mac that that the company will be ceasing development of Aperture and iPhoto, offering Photos for OS X as a replacement, which was first shown at WWDC.
With the introduction of the new Photos app and iCloud Photo Library, enabling you to safely store all of your photos in iCloud and access them from anywhere, there will be no new development of Aperture. When Photos for OS X ships next year, users will be able to migrate their existing Aperture libraries to Photos for OS X.
Apple says libraries will be able to migrate across to the new application when the application ships. Apple is working with Adobe to offer a upgrade path to Lightroom. As noted by TechCrunch, Apple will offer a Yosemite compatibility update for Aperture, but otherwise development has ended.
The new Photos app will include some of the features contained within iPhoto and Aperture, but also offers the big advantage of syncing with iCloud Photo Library, which will sync every photo you take when iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite ship later this year. On the other hand, the lack of many of the professional-oriented features from Aperture will be a disappointment to an important market.
As part of the statement, Apple has given TechCrunch a new image of what the Photos app looks like. It largely reflects what Apple demoed at WWDC, but does show a new thumbnail bar on the left-hand side. Features familiar to Aperture users, like histograms, can also be seen in the screenshot.
The state of iPhoto on iOS is currently unknown, but its outlook doesn't seem good given the retirement of the application on the Mac. iOS 8 doesn't let the iPhoto app even open, likely confirming it has also been discontinued. 't is important to note that development on Apple's other 'professional' software, Logic and Final Cut Pro, continues as normal.

WTF? This shit better be pretty damn good if it's gonna replace Aperture.
Better then iPhoto but not full pro….. Where did that happen before… Oh yea, the remake of Final Cut. Better then iMovie but most certainly worse the the old FCP…. Apple has lost the pro market fully now.
Well… the fact that they are working with Adobe to provide an upgrade path for Aperture is pretty telling if you think about it. So I'm guessing no it won't be pretty damn good if you're looking for Aperture level of Pro – – Probably passible for prosumer, but Pro? Probably not…..
I'm also getting the feeling Photos sounds like something better then iPhoto but not quite pro-inclined as Aperture which would be a shame for the users that really take advantage of it. I personally use Lightroom (and hearing this news makes me glad I do) but on a Mac there are some things that lend themselves better to Aperture and again, it would be a shame if it gets watered down through OS X Photos for its users.
It's obvious to me that Apple is not serious about anything unless it's related to iPhone! look at Final Cut and iWork. They downgraded iWork to make it comparable with iOS. What a shame! Apple is really annoying me lately!
I kind of feel like a sucker for paying for Aperture about six months ago.
Why? Does this somehow disable your current, working version of Aperture?
I just thought of buying Aperture! :(
iPhoto has been horrible for a some time now.. Opening it takes forever.. Editing is a nightmare…Loved aperture but that became the same statement.. Opening it was a nightmare.. I have switched to lightroom..
What I would like to know is if it will carry over my iPhoto Events and Places metadata
Apart from anything else it was the filing system that impressed me about Aperture. 'Collections' etc just won't cut it in the way that i organise shoots. What a blow. Better start seriously looking at Lightroom again
I hope Photos will really have good functions of Aperture. Interface seems to be enough pro, but what about functionalities ?…
Where did you find this interface of Photos? There's no image on internet of it…
It should have been obvious to anyone who watched the iOS demo at WWDC that iPhoto was going away. The fact that Aperture is now included shouldn't be much of a surprise given that it is basically iPhoto with a different "look," and with a tiny smattering of extra features.
Anytime a company makes two, nearly identical apps, one should really expect a merging of the two eventually. The writing has been on the wall for ages on this one.
"The fact that Aperture is now included shouldn't be much of a surprise given that it is basically iPhoto with a different "look," and with a tiny smattering of extra features."
Um, you have got to be kidding. Clearly you were not an Aperture user.
Aperture has enhanced versions of more or less the same features that exist in iPhoto. iPhoto has EXIF information, but not as much and it's not as easy to edit for example. iPhoto will work with RAW, but not as easily, etc.
It's not like they are night and day different programs. Lightroom is very similar to Aperture for that matter and all the programs are essentially the same thing (media library apps), and all operate in essentially the same way. The difference is indeed mostly contained in minor extra features, and speed.
Regardless of your contentions of what you believe Aperture "basically is", a photo cataloguer, the fact remains that it is, in fact, currently much more, and used for much more. I understand your feelings about feature creep, but for those who use those added features, this move is unwelcome, primarily because those features are NOT available in iPhoto. Beyond that, considering the workflow, and the features that ARE in Aperture, the say in which they are used are different enough that it is a bit disingenuous to categorize those differences as simply a "different 'look'". Those small differences, even just in the cataloguing functions, makes Aperture a useful tool, and iPhoto a convoluted mess that makes some (if not many) tasks actually more difficult than just doing them by hand.
Do you guys even proof read your articles before publishing them? Reading this one was like eating a cactus.
And the screenshot even reveals the new iTunes icon …
So glad to hear iPhoto is being scrapped – this application is one of the SLOWEST apps I have ever used – always hogging memory, lagging and generally slow in performance. Absolutely hated using iPhoto to manage my photos.
I just hope the new Photos app is much more snappier and faster.
I have spend years getting Aperture right. I came form Adobe so looks like I'll be going back. This is poor to be stopping Aperture but the upgrade / migration to Lightroom. Off to get everythingg on my free 1TB at Flikr
Okay I'm done with Apple apps. I won't buy any apps put out by Apple only to have them discontinued later. Held out of the longest time for an update to iweb and Aperature as it far more organized and easier to use then Lightroom. But , I picked up lightroom last month when it was on sale as I got tired of waiting. No apple I don't want my photos in the cloud, no I don't want a subscription based software that I have to pay for forever. So I'll use my paid version of lightroom and CS6 forever because I'm not buying subscription software. Stupid companies.
Apple has no subscription-based software and having your photos sync (and backup) via iCloud is optional. In fact, almost all of their software is free.
He means that Adobe software is all subscription based now and without Aperture, Apple is sending pro photographers to Lightroom. I hate subscription based software, too. :(
I agree with you, Dave, absolutely. I want my photos saved on multiple drives – including a pair rotated so one is updated weekly and held at my bank – not on somebody's servers, the so-called 'Cloud'. If you know anything about physics and the potential for sunspot activity to disrupt the cozy little 'Cloud' chimera you would want to have your own secure storage.
All this means is that I have to migrate to Lightroom 5. Bought the DVD today – but it going to be a long job. My Aperture Library is 291 GB at this time.
Not good.
Tends to confirm my view that apple is dumbing down.
Increasingly their products are targeting children rather than the professional/corporate sector.
I do think they're catering to their more profitable markets. Their bread and butter are their iOS devices now. Macs take a back seat to those and the professional market is even a small subset of that, that's why the Mac Pro was neglected for so long.
Given all this, If I was doing serious video editing and my tool of choice was Final Cut Pro I'd be feeling a bit shaken in my confidence of its support long term. iMovie is still more than what I need for basic video editing I do nowadays (which for the most is just showcasing my photography). But if/when I decide to get more serious about video editing like I do my photography, I'll be sure to look long and hard at Premiere Pro or some other tool before Final Cut Pro.
There is no way anyone paying attention to all the product releases over the last twelve months could continue to have this opinion. The new Mac Pro alone disproves it.
i just feel sorry for anyone who just brought aperture for $80 and it'll be gone in a few months GEESH! thats gonna suck unless apple refund their money
But it won't be gone. The article says Apple will provide an update to ensure it works in Yosemite (and previous OS versions one assumes) and then stop developing it.
Don't do this Apple, don't do this!
This is great news as I have had much difficulties with iPhoto in Mavericks.
To be honest, its super disappointing. I would have thought with the new MacPro, to have a highly optimised program to take full advantage of the top notch hardware would be great for the professional. I would thought the bundle would be great for sales of the MacPro. Probably its a case of key people working on Aperture leaving Apple and going to Adobe??
This is going to be a god-send to be able to export my iPhoto library to iCloud, then delete the local copies of all my older photos, just pulling copies from the cloud if I need them again. Will free up about 150GB of HDD space instantly.
It will be a god-send for MacBook Air owners especially, given the small storage that iPhoto tends to sap up so quickly. And to then have the complete, same, photo library on all my iOS devices… golden. Flickr and the ilk are going to feel the pain though as Apple users simply won't need them any more.
How much would you have to pay for 150GB of iCloud storage space?
Apple please nooooo! I do need Aperture! Just ordered a Photobook created in Aperture.
I don't need this sync cloud solution! I never shot pictures with my iPad: it just looks ugly and funny holding a tablet in front of my face (the same is true for all bigger smartphones (> 5″) sorry no iPhone 6 for me).
The iPhone 5(s) takes great pictures but still not comparable to my different Canon IXUS, PowerShot and EOS devices. Aperture is just the right app for my several 1000 pictures.
1) I don't want to share my photos on the internet (no social network) the ones I share are via email in full resolution
2) Apple iCloud couldn't even hold all of my photos in RAW format
2) I don't want my photos on every device
3) my photos are on several external HDs (Aperture can access them without any hassle, that was the main reason I didn't like Adobe Lightroom, perhaps it has changed now)
4) IMHO Apple will go the same way with Photo as with Pages, loose all the PRO features.
I know most people do use their iPhones to take pictures, but most people are satisfied with what they have, but don't know what is really possible, so they don't care.
5) the best pictures are printed on a PRO printer or produced as real books.
6) I don't want to pay software (Adobe) on subscription. I don't understand the whole hype for paying for streaming music. Either I own the music CDs or downloaded via iTunes, or I do listen to my favorite Radio stations. But paying for virtual music no thx! That's just stealing money.
I hope Photo for OSX gets great but I think I will stay with Aperture as long as possible.
Goddamned Apple. What the f**k are you guys doing?
So much for the promise of a new version of Aperture made during the launch of the Mac Pro.
Having some simple editing tools like layering above the the minimal offered now in iPhoto will be appreciate…by me at least. I hope this will be a free upgrade.
We should all hope they *don't* do this. It's Adobe's insistence on putting every feature including the kitchen sink into their products that creates this confusing feature creep. Neither Aperture, nor iPhoto (nor Lightroom for that matter) are "Photo editing apps."
As originally conceived, they are media library apps with features that allow some basic tweaking. If you want to edit the photos in layers and use brushes etc., then you should really be using an image editor, not a library app, and if Adobe hadn't screwed up this distinction with their products, Apple wouldn't have had to go down that road following them.
Adobe's approach to app design is the same as Microsoft's. Keep adding in requested features every year, regardless of whether it makes sense at all, until every product in the stable can do every single thing under the sun. This is almost the definition of bad design and Apple, (thankfully) seems to have stepped away from the brink and is now instead, intent on designing a really excellent photo management/library tool.
Personally I hope they leave all that crap out and all you people who fancy yourself as "professionals" (though most of you are not), can all move to Adobe products.
that "that that"
Does this mean I will not be able to continue using Aperture on my MacBook?
aperture will continue to work. i am sure bug fixes will be released (i guess until 5 years from now). but no new features will be added (like new presentation templates).
I am glad I ditched Aperture for Lightroom a while ago. It was obvious to me that Apple is not serious about anything unless it's related to iPhone!
I've used Aperture since the very beginning. In fact, I heard Steve Jobs announce it in NY. So I am very sad at the news. Sure hope Apple is working with Adobe Lightroom so that Lightroom will be improved to incorporate some Aperture features, and I won't loose any data or adjustments when I migrate over.
This is really upsetting. I manage 30.000+ RAW Documents in a Vault. All workflows and processes have been optimised for Aperture. Non of the other applications like Lightroom, DxO, Capture One come even close to the RAW Performance and Speed of Aperture! Why would you give this advantage away? At least offer the legacy code to a developer that will continue the System to soften the blow to many Photographers out there!
I personally like that they are putting Aperture & iPhoto in to one single application, since both of them originally costs money (Besides from iPhoto, which you get for free with the purchase of a new Mac). Btw if you recently bought Aperture, Apple will refund you.
This could also mean that they are not separating iTunes like many believes. Having Music and iTunes separated on OS X would just make things more cluttered and confusing.
I don't want to open a completely different app to buy new songs and movies, that works in iOS because if Music and iTunes Store was one app, it would be cluttered and packed. While on OS X you have a much bigger multi-task capability which makes separating those two, useless.
Besides, isn't there enough stock apps on OS X already?
I hope all the "Faces" and "Places" I have out pointed in my library of 35'000 images not being wasted. Hope "Photos" will remain the functions Faces and Places and can import them from iPhoto…
Lemme guess, it involves buying something, typical Apple http://where-is-my-refund.net
Let me guess, you don't know what you're talking about, but it doesn't matter, because you're really just spamming.
Last fall I decided to pass from Aperture to Lightroom. The passage has not been difficult and – on the other hand – the editing features of LR and its perfect integration with PS make much more easy, proficient, effective and pleasant the post production work. So – even if I loved Aperture – let's close the past and let's deal the present and future of pro photo application with. Up with LR and PS!
Thanks for your encouraging information. I am about to start changing over. Migrating my 290 GB Aperture Library to Lightroom looks to be rather daunting, however, and I look forward to the promised migration path from Apple and Adobe.
I am angry that I can no longer select focus or highlight colour using my finger to select specifically where I want it. Now I have a Photo app that will not let me select anything except the whole photo like the desktop version which is good for nothing…. as far as I am concerned it is a HUGE step backwards
iCloud and Photostream are GARBAGE. They consume space on all devices and automatically delete things when they exceed your storage capacity. Its not easy to share items with non Apple users. The best service will be one that functions more like Flickr or Google Plus. It will synch with you Aperture library and actually work. It will allow for sharing, e-mailing, fb-messengering, of images. It will allow for recipients to download full-res images or entire folders of images…or port the images directly into their own accounts as DUPLICATES that are not tied to the original image and not susceptible to deletion from the sender.
Wow, way to not understand the article!
Great, a new operating system….click install. I was just finishing up 5 different Apple books after scouring 30 thousand family images in four different Aperture libraries and two external hard drives. Next morning, whamo, all the books were in the clouds. After panic subsided, I found them on Photo. I am making a giant assumption, is it best to migrate all of Aperture and IPhoto to Photo so I can finish the books. My biggest problem is that I can not move the final images into Photo like I did from Aperture to iPhoto. Maybe to the proper question would be, does Photo have a guide or comprehensive tutorial?
Without a doubt what i have experienced with photos is poor compared to iPhoto. I have much more than a thousand photos. iPhoto is so much better organized and I don't have to put a name to a face to view it, Imagine name hundreds of faces to scan what you have. My photos are shared many ways, I don't need iCloud. other means sharing or organizing. Please don't make similar changes to iMovie, the older version using the green star icon.
This is a thoroughly thoughtless, unnecessary, unwelcome and inconvenient move by Apple. Photos is a primitive offering in itself, certainly not up to Professional use, and for anyone such as myself with a largish Aperture Library implies a 'cloud' stage charge. Thank you Apple – but No thank you. Adobe Lightroom and Capture One especially, offer far better alternatives. But beware Adobe moving to the subscription based 'cloud' model.
I have never used iPhoto if I can help it, and now I feel photos will be the same. I do not want a slide show of photos. I use image capture, I can resize my photos in photoshop and add names and mega data. Leave the slide shows to those who show people there one inch photos. Poor upgrade.
This program sucks. F you apple for find my mac up. I can never find where anything I import goes. Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave right now.
Where are my photos??? They disappeared from my Iphoto!!!

For the second time in less than five months, an Oakland school board member is under investigation.
Don't worry: There are absolutely no sexual undertones to this inquiry. Far from it. Think real estate and planning commissions. Think — dare I print this? — informational flyers.
David Kakishiba, as many of you know, is the school board president. He is also the executive director of the East Bay Asian Youth Center, based in East Oakland's San Antonio neighborhood. His organization, along with the OCO (Oakland Community Organizations) became involved against a market-rate condominium proposal that would plop 810 new homes along East 12th Street in Fruitvale with little to no affordable units.
His two worlds collided in September, when kids from three Fruitvale-area elementary schools went home with flyers urging their families to speak out against the proposed development at an upcoming Oakland Planning Commission meeting.
The developer has accused Kakishiba of using his position in the school district to force school staff to distribute the materials (His organization's name was printed on the flyers, along with the OCO).
But an organizer from OCO says parent leaders passed out the flyers after getting the green light from principals, and Kakishiba says he had nothing to do with how they were circulated. He claims it was "hardball politics" and intimidation at work.
Do you think the school board had an ethical obligation to investigate this claim?

When I'm 64
Posted By David Brinn On April 25, 2012 @ 4:53 pm In | No Comments
As the transition from the somber mood of Remembrance Day makes way for the celebration of Independence Day, there's a plethora of inspiring video clips to help us mark Israel's 64th birthday.
We've already focused on ISRAEL21c's great 'What does Israel mean to you' clip, (now augmented by the top 64 innvoations from Israel) and here's a few others.
Here's a photographic appreciation of the natural beauty of the country by Efrat-based photographer Yehoshua Halevi, featuring the song "Desert Call" by Eden Mi Qedem.
No Independence Day would be complete without a tribute to our fighting forces that protect us day in and out. Here's a well-done one created and filmed by Aviv Vana Post Production in collaboration with shooteast.com
Here's a unique take on the country's birthday – done in animation. According to the creators, it attempts to portray the complex reality that Israelis live in on a daily basis.
And how could we not include a message from Mr. Israel, our venerable president Shimon Peres, who gives his independence greeting in his inimitable English.
Go enjoy the next 24 hours, with the ubiquitous barbecue, outdoor singing and dancing, and fireworks. Happy birthday, Israel.

Getty Images Dairy analysts estimate store milk prices could go up to 60 cents in March, reaching their highest ever — and according to NBC News, cheese is to blame. Short supply pushed cheese to a new peak price in January, rising from $1.80 to $2.36 a block, and that jump is driving the March increases for "fluid milk." But not every fridge will feel the pinch. Some stores may choose to eat the $.30 increase in farm-level milk prices occurring from January to March. In other areas, though, families could see their milk bills going up $.50-$.60 a gallon. Brian West, a spokesman for the Publix supermarket chain based in the Southeast, said the store expects milk prices to rise in the next few months. Get More at NBC News

There are big races for governor about to end next week in both New Jersey and Virginia, and together the races are a tale of two very different Republicans, NBC's First Read team writes. In Virginia, GOP candidate and current Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli seems poised to lose the state's highest office to Democrat, Clinton acolyte and former party boss Terry McAuliffe — and in a purple state like Virginia, what Mitt Romney might call Cuccinelli's severe conservatism could be costing him the governor's mansion. Cuccinelli represents the GOP's conservative wing, typified too by firebrands like Sen. Ted Cruz — but on the other side of the Republican divide is New Jersey's widely popular Gov.

AP Officials in Beijing have introduced new guidelines for dealing with so-called "bad-air" days in the pollution-plagued city, calling for an alternative driving day schedule for cars with even and odd numbered license plates in the event of heavy smog. The new rules, reported late Thursday by Chinese state news agency Xinhua, calls for the driving schedule to be enforced on days when Beijing issues a "red alert" under a four-tiered pollution warning system. A red alert will be issued when the air quality index (AQI) is expected to be over 300 over a three-day period. The steps are not without precedent, albeit for very different circumstances. Throughout the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, all of the same steps were put into place to limit traffic congestion on the city's famously car-choked streets. Since the Olympics, a scaled down version of these traffic restrictions have remained in place, but they were meant to alleviate traffic, not curb air pollution, which has only gotten worse since the Olympic showcase five years ago.

"This, for that. Quid pro quo. Bribery. Not politics as usual."
That was the refrain sung over and over again today by Assistant U.S. Attorney Edward Kang, a prosecutor in the bingo corruption case. Kang, along with fellow prosecutor Assistant U.S. Attorney Louis Franklin, spent a little over three hours today on closing arguments, pounding on the nine defendants in the case.
Victoryland owner Milton McGregor was a frequent target of Kang and Franklin. Kang reminded the jury of statements McGregor made that reflect how important Senate bill 380, or SB380 (the 2010 bingo legislation at the center of this case) was to McGregor's business.
"It's a survival bill for us," Kang said, quoting tapes of McGregor. "My ass is on the line, I've got a $200 million dollar note that I've got to pay with interest."
"Ladies and gentleman of the jury, those were the words of that man, right there, Mr. Milton McGregor," Kang said, pointing to McGregor.
SB380 was so important to McGregor, Kang said, and he would do anything to pass it. "So what did he do? He resorted to bribery. He resorted to what he thought was a sure bet."
"The evidence has proven to you beyond a reasonable doubt these defendants worked together to corrupt the Alabama legislative process, and the reason was greed," Kang said, referencing the prosecution's opening statement repeated references to greed.
Kang took aim at various defense arguments, including one that SB380 was about allowing the people the vote on electronic bingo (had it passed, SB380 would have allowed Alabamians to vote on a Constitutional Amendment allowing some electronic bingo).
Milton McGregor
"Milton McGregor was not motivated by some strong civic duty to allow the people to vote. In fact, just the opposite," Kang said. "You see, Milton McGregor had no interest in supporting democracy. He had one interest, and one interest only—lining his pockets with money."
Kang said McGregor was desperate to pass SB380–desperate enough to offer things of value to people he didn't agree with, like Sen. Scott Beason (R-Gardendale) and Rep. Barry Mask (R-Wetumpka), both of whom testified for the government.
In a Feb. 18, 2010 meeting, Kang said McGregor told Beason that if Beason supports the pro-bingo position, he'll support Beason. "This, for that. Quid pro quo. Bribery," Kang said. He also mentioned that McGregor told Beason he needed an answer about his support of SB380 within days.
"What made Milton McGregor think that he had that kind of power, to boss around a state senator? The answer is simple: money," Kang said.
Tom Coker
"Neither McGregor nor [lobbyist Tom] Coker were innocent bystanders in the effort to bribe Preuitt," Kang said, referring to Sen. Jim Preuitt. "They were knee deep involved in it." After the bingo vote, Kang said Preuitt mentioned conversations with Coker and was trying to collect on a bribe, and said Coker went to speak with Preuitt and Sen. Larry Means. McGregor "turned Coker loose" on Preuitt and Means, Kang said.
Bob Geddie
Count three of the indictment, which involves an alleged bribe offered to Rep. Barry Mask and delivered by McGregor lobbyist Bob Geddie, has been dismissed, but a related obstruction of justice charge related to a ledger Geddie allegedly changed before producing is still in play.
"Geddie knew that if he was truthful on the ledger, and reflected the payments coming from McGregor, people would ask questions," Kang said, arguing that the checks would have looked odd coming from McGregor because Mask was anti-gambling.
The ledger has McGregor's name crossed out, and replaced with others.
Jay Walker
Kang attacked all nine defendants, including Country Crossing spokesperson Jay Walker. He, Kang said, "would do whatever it took to be part of Gilley's team, even if that meant resorting to … bribery." Walker is charged with helping to bribe then-Sen. Jim Preuitt (R-Talladega).
Harri Anne Smith
Sen. Harri Anne Smith (I-Slocomb), who was kicked off the Republican ballot in April 2010 for her support of Democrat Bobby Bright in 2008, was also a target.
"Sen. Smith had to somehow fill the void created by her loss of Republican backing," Kang said. "Getting quick, easy money from Gilley was her motive, even if it meant resorting to bribery."
Ray Crosby
Kang said that legislative analyst Ray Crosby, then an employee of the Legislative Reference Service, made "substantive changes" to SB380 and worked on weekends for McGregor.
"He [Crosby] had to come through … because that's exactly what McGregor was paying him $3,000 a month for–for him to be on call," Kang said.
Kang also emphasized that Crosby was a public employee working for the taxpayer, and that Crosby hid his payments from McGregor by not disclosing them on publicly-filed forms.
Kang said that the defense had argued that Country Crossing lobbyist and government witness Jarrod Massey's monthly payments to former Rep. Terry Spicer (D-Elba) were bribes, but McGregor's payments to Crosby weren't, but the defense can't have it both ways.
"Folks, a bribe is a bribe is a bribe," Kang told the jury. "There's no difference between the payments that were made to Spicer and the payments that were made to Crosby."
Jim Preuitt
In reference to former Sen. Jim Preuitt (R-Talladega), Kang brought a up a call from gambling developer Ronnie Gilley to Sen. Smith, in which Gilley also talked to Preuitt. In the call, which came after Preuitt had voted for SB380 (and the prosecution says he had accepted offers of bribes from Gilley), Kang says Preuitt didn't tell Gilley that his solid arguments in favor of bingo convinced him to vote for the bill.
Instead, Preuitt says, "Well, you probably knew we had a couple of decent conversations prior with Jay [Walker], and then we'd get back to [Tom] Coker."
"Sen. Preuitt right here, he's trying to collect on his bribe payments," Kang said.
Larry Means
"Sen. Means was greedy," Kang said of former Sen. Larry Means (D-Attalla). "He wanted a piece of the action that Sen. Preuitt was getting."
Quinton Ross
Sen. Quinton Ross had "the leverage," Kang said of the Montgomery Democrat, "and he was squeezing McGregor and Gilley." Ross called lobbyist Jarrod Massey and Massey employee Jennifer Pouncy requesting contributions, and also called McGregor. In calls to McGregor, he mentioned the vote count on SB380, and then asked about money. One of the counts against Ross is extortion.
"You only have to find Sen. Ross was trying to get money from McGregor in exchange for vote," Kang told the jury.
Kang also mentioned a statement by Ross to McGregor that "the window was closing fast." Defense attorneys have said that "the window" refers to a window in which Ross could raise campaign funds, while the government has said the window refers to time until the vote on SB380–implying Ross was holding out on his vote.
"When he was talking about the window was closing fast, there is no reasonable doubt he was referring to the vote," Kang said, and then went back to hit the refrain again: "This, for that. Bribery. Not politics as usual."
More to come as we update later.

Class Format and Meeting Schedule
For access to content available only to the St. Catherine University community please log in using your Kateway portal login.
Class Format and Meeting Schedule
It's all about time.
St. Kate's Weekend College format has changed. It's now called the Evening/Weekend/Online program — and it's way more flexible:
- The meeting schedule integrates traditional classroom meetings and online learning sessions — less time on campus, and more freedom to learn when and where you choose while still having "face time" to build relationships with faculty and other students.
- In each course, half of all class meetings are online and half meet face-to-face on our St. Paul campus.
- For the on-campus portion of each course, you have the choice of meeting weekday evenings or every other weekend. (Learning continues online between campus sessions.)
- Choose from full-semester or half-semester courses. Full-semester (15-week) courses typically meet on campus every other week, on weekday evenings or weekends. More intensive half-semester (7.5-week) courses meet on campus one evening per week.
- Study year round, if you prefer. We have a menu of fall, spring and summer courses to keep you on track for graduation.
Decide now
Choose full time or part time: At St. Kate's, you can choose the intensity and pacing that makes the most sense for you. (Some programs of study are less flexible, such as the bachelor's-completion program in nursing.)
Choose your semester:
- Fall Semester (September–December)
- Spring Semester (February–May)
- Summer Session
- January term courses — an ideal time to take shorter, more intensive courses or enroll in special study abroad opportunities.
A detailed Evening/Weekend/Online calendar is available online through the Office of the Registrar.

The meeting was called to order at 9:02 A.M. by Mayor Lee Byrd at the City Hall Community Room, 30940 Hawthorne Boulevard, notice having been given with affidavit thereto on file. Roll call was answered as follows:
PRESENT: Ferraro, McTaggart, Stern, and Mayor Byrd
ABSENT: Lyon
Also present were City Manager Les Evans, Assistant City Manager Carolynn Petru; City Attorney Carol Lynch; Director of Planning, Building, and Code Enforcement Director Rojas; Director of Public Works Dean Allison; Director of Finance Dennis McLean; City Clerk/Administrative Services Director Jo Purcell; Director of Recreation and Parks Ron Rosenfeld; Accounting Manager Matt Burton; Deputy Public Works Director Marla Doyle; Accountant Robert Bowman; Senior Administrative Analyst Gina Park; Senior Administrative Analyst Judy Huey, and, Recording Secretary Jackie Drasco.
Staff suggested that the Closed Session be held first.
Councilman Stern moved, seconded by Councilwoman Ferraro, to approve the agenda as amended. Motion carried.
Recess and Reconvene: At 9:07 A.M., Council recessed to a closed session. The meeting reconvened at 9:15 A.M.
City Attorney Lynch reported that there was unanimous direction (4-0, with Mayor Pro Tem Lyon absent) to send a letter to Mr. Paul who represents homeowners near Ocean Trails.
Madeline Ryan, 28328 Palos Verdes Drive East, discussed the five-year financial model as it related to the purchase of open space.
City Manager Evans stated that Council policy has been to direct staff to furnish an annual five-year model, updated yearly by the Finance Department and presented to the Council in conjunction with the preparation and review of the budget. Also, budget policy issues are primarily new items not in the budget that the Council may or may not be interested in. Staff uses these issues as a forum for the Council to discuss whether they should be included now or in future budgets. This is the second year of the two-year budget. Apparently, staff planned well so there are very few changes for the second year.
Discussion points by Council were as follows: That Council should have the opportunity to advise staff about "hot button" items prior to this stage of the budget process; that there was dissatisfaction with the way staff handled the Basswood speeding matters. Other topics which might have been included on the agenda were cost of speed humps in neighborhoods other than the Basswood area; funds for dealing with aircraft noise; undergrounding; the state of disrepair of privately owned fences along arterials and beautification of medians; and increased traffic enforcement.
It was suggested that a public relations effort be launched to deal with repair of private fences along arterials; that the Recreation and Parks Committee be involved with beautification of medians; that repairs of sidewalks along arterials be undertaken; and, that a representative from the Sheriffs Department attend the next budget workshop to discuss traffic enforcement.
Councilwoman Ferraro and Councilman McTaggart volunteered to form a Beautification Subcommittee.
2000 Five-Year Financial Model
Director McLean presented the staff report of May 8, 2000 and the recommendation to review and file the 2000 Five-Year Financial Model.
Director McLean explained fund transfers, budget amounts, and expenditures to date, and projected expenses for the PVIC cleanup project.
Followup items for additional information be provided by staff were as follows: Determine the cost of capping contamination at PVIC versus hauling it away; include a transfer of $500,000 from the EET fund to the CIP in FY 2000-2001 for additional construction of the Point Vicente Interpretative Center.
Recess and Reconvene: At 10:30 A.M., Mayor Byrd declared a recess. The meeting reconvened at 10:40 A.M.
Budget Policy Issues for FY 2000-2001
Assistant City Manager Petru presented the staff report of May 8, 2000 and the recommendation to discuss the budget policy issues and provide staff with direction regarding the inclusion of these items or others identified by Council in the proposed budget for FY 2000-2001.
Community Grants
Topics of discussion were grants for the Peninsula Seniors and the Symphonic Band.
Ann Shaw, 30036 Via Borica, representing Peninsula Seniors explained that the Peninsula Board Seniors had rejected the idea that Rancho Palos Verdes residents be charged lower dues since the City subsidizes the program. She explained that between 40-50% of the members are from Rancho Palos Verdes, 20% are from non-Peninsula cities or from the unincorporated areas of the Peninsula, 25% of the members are residents of Palos Verdes Estates, and that Palos Verdes Estates did not contribute to the Peninsula Seniors. She further stated that Rolling Hills Estates had donated $1,500 and had in the past provided a facility for the Seniors at the Shops at Palos Verdes shopping mall, which was lost during the remodeling. She said that overhead had tripled because the Peninsula Seniors were now renting a facility; that membership had increased, and that dues were $25 for a single and $45 for a couple.
Council discussion focused on how to support the Peninsula Seniors yet send a message to Palos Verdes Estates that they should participate in support of this organization.
Mayor Byrd said that he would bring up the subject at the Peninsulas Mayors luncheon. Ann Shaw said she would make another attempt to solicit funds from Palos Verdes Estates.
Mayor Byrd moved, seconded by Councilman Stern, to provide the Seniors with $6,810, the same donation they received last year, and the additional requested $2,000 would be considered after a visit to a Palos Verdes Estates Council meeting. Motion carried.
Councilwoman Ferraro moved, seconded by Councilman McTaggart, to provide a grant of $1,000 to the Peninsula Symphonic Band. Motion carried.
Recycling Grants
After discussion of the review process and criteria, Council consensus was that staff should scrutinize the projects more closely to see if they merit funding.
Salary Range Adjustment
Assistant City Manager Petru explained that the proposed 3.4% salary range adjustments would trigger no immediate salary increases because this is not a cost of living increase. It would merely increase salary ranges making it possible for employees at the top of their range to receive an increase in pay at their next evaluation.
Councilman McTaggart moved, seconded by Councilman Stern, to approve the staff recommendation. Motion carried.
Council Mileage Expense Increase
Council discussed this proposal for an increase to $350 per month for the Mayor and $200 per month for the other Councilmembers, effective on July 1, 2000.
Councilwoman Ferraro moved, seconded by Councilman McTaggart to adopt the staff recommendation. Motion carried.
Employee Benefits
Assistant City Manager Petru explained that the City does not participate in Social Security and that 60 employees are eligible for CalPERS (Public Employees Retirement System). She said that the City pays the employees 7% contribution and because CalPERS investments have been doing well, the City has not had to pay the City contribution for two years but this could change in the future. Staff was seeking direction from Council to investigate improving the Citys retirement formula from 2% at 60 to 2% at 55.
Assistant City Manager Petru clarified that a change in survivor benefits from the current Level 1 to Level 3 would incur no cost but an increase to Level 4, staffs recommendation, would increase costs
Councilman Stern, seconded by Councilwoman Ferraro, to perform an actuarial study for benefits of 2% at age 55 and to increase the survivor benefit to Level 4.
Mayor Byrd moved, seconded by Councilman McTaggart, to approve the grants, as amended.
Civic Center Improvements
Sr. Administrative Analyst Park presented the staff report and five options for the Council to consider
Council discussion focused on the seismic safety of the facility and the need to perform a study.
Recess and Reconvene: At 12:00 Noon, Mayor Byrd declared a recess. The meeting reconvened at 12:15 P.M.
Further Council discussion included the need for soil testing to determine whether hazardous waste is present from underground tanks which were removed or armaments; the advisability of hiring a consultant familiar with old military sites.
Councilman Stern moved, seconded by Councilwoman Ferraro to approve the appropriate studies to assist the Council in making decisions regarding improvements at the Civic Center site.
Pt. Vicente Interpretative Center
Director Allison presented the staff report, stating that there was time to study the situation before making decisions at this time; that there was no longer a need for urgent action.
Mayor pro tem Byrd moved, seconded by Councilman McTaggart, to set aside two million dollars for this project. Motion carried.
Revisions to Proposed Budget for FY 2000-2001
Assistant City Manager Petru presented the staff report of May 8, 2000 and the recommendation to review the proposed increased to the FY 2000-2001 budget and provide staff with any comments.
After a short discussion regarding each of the items listed in the staff report, Mayor Byrd moved, seconded by Councilwoman Ferraro, to approve these changes. The motion carried.
Councilman McTaggart moved, seconded by Councilwoman Ferraro to cancel the tentative May 15 budget workshop and discuss the 2000 Five-Year Information Technology Plan on June 21 at 6:00 P.M. before the regular meeting at 7:00 P.M.
2000 Five-Year Information Technology Plan
Continued to June 21, 2000 at 6:00 P.M.
The meeting was adjourned at 1:13 P.M. to May 16 at 6:45 P.M. to interview candidates for the View Restoration Commission. Motion made by Mayor Byrd

Future of area up for debate
MEMBERS of Pickersleigh Residents' Group will be holding a public meeting to discuss the future development of the area.
The group will be responding to the Local Plan, Malvern Hills District Council's blueprint for the future of the town.
One of the issues to be examined is the status of Hayslan Field.
Malvern Girls' College owns the field and is happy for people to walk on the footpaths, as long as they do not walk on the grassy areas.
In the Local Plan the field is designated as an urban green space, meaning that it will be safeguarded and development will not be allowed there.
Group member Ann Silk said the members would be supporting this.
"The Local Plan is as much about endorsing what is there as objecting to it," she said.
The use of Hayslan Field has long been a contentious issue for the group.
Its bid to have the field designated as a village green failed when a public hearing held last year decided in favour of Malvern Girls' College.
Mrs Silk said the meeting was not only about the future of Hayslan Field but also about other issues affecting Pickersleigh ward residents, including the cycle track from Hayslan Road to Sling Lane.
The group is now 10 years old and at one time had 100 members. Although only 10 members attended its recent AGM, Mrs Silk said they were determined to continue.
"The message is we're still in business and we're still intending to keep a watching brief on issues local residents want us to respond to," she said.
Mrs Silk urged all Pickersleigh residents to attend the meeting and become "part of the democratic planning process".
"If only people realised how much they can get out of something by getting involved. It brings the community together," she said.
The meeting will be held in Barnards Green Cricket Club at 7.30pm on Tuesday, February 3.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Maisie McCabe, mediaweek.co.uk, Friday, 14 December 2012 10:50AM
Speaking at the start of the third day of the Cristal Festival in Switzerland, Maples said Spotify's app on the social network, which allows users to see what their friends are listening to, had "fundamentally changed the nature of our business".
Spotify's partnership with Facebook began in September last year and has increased its reach to deliver more than 50 billion Spotify impressions through Facebook in a single month.
Moreover, in the three and a half years Spotify had existed before the partnership, Spotify users had created around 250 million playlists but this had doubled within the following two months. Spotify now has more than one billion playlists.
The reason for Spotify's success on Facebook lies in the fact music has "always been social by essence", said Maples, who took on the additional role of vice president of Europe in August.
He continued: "It is the most social thing that you do. It's something we like to pontificate on. Music so important because it speaks to the right hand side of the brain, the side of the brain that is emotional."
According to Spotify research, 97% of brand managers think music can strengthen their brand and 68% think music is an important tool for building a consistent brand but not all brand managers are reflecting this in their marketing strategies, or budgets.
Seven out of 10 brand mangers spend less than 5% of their marketing budget on music and six out of 10 have not even identified how their brand sounds, Maples said.
He continued: "Five or six years ago when social became the big thing people had a media campaign and bolted on a social strategy. Now it's something fundamental.
"But over 53% of everything that is shared on social networks revolves around music. You can't have a social strategy unless have music strategy."Follow @MaisieMcCabe

The order came in a reasonable time and fit perfectly with little or no shaping time. I let it sit in place for a day to make sure it flattened and then attached the self adhesive fasteners. Quality and color for the price is as good as any I have looked at. Completely satisfied.

Why not simply call folklore "art"? Calling these arts "folk" is a way of naming what is collective, community-based, or a peoples' tradition. It is a way of distinguishing arts that represent more than an individual point of view. The term is also used because in this country, the creative expressions of ordinary people are not always seen as art, or as significant, or as part of a tradition. Because mainstream and elite notions of art generally marginalize the majority of world cultural and artistic traditions, the notion of "folk" art is a way of making equal room for all peoples' habits of expression and creativity.
Isn't folklore old and irrelevant stuff? Folklore is not only old art - it is as new as rap music, kids' clothing styles, and other contemporary and emerging traditions. But some folklore is old. Embedded in some of the stories we tell, rhymes we chant, or dances we do are elements, motifs and movements that can be traced back generations and across continents. Such folklore is handed down and preserved because it is still useful in naming common experiences, feelings and situations. Sometimes folklore can offer an alternative language, a code for expressing ideas that may be dangerous. Sometimes, folklore is preserved simply because it feels so very "tried and true." Folklore can give comfort and can be a force for liberation; it can also be a constraint (as when community traditions are used to stifle divergent expression). While some folk traditions have "survived," more portable than material things, folklore always changes in its travels. It evolves, fitting into new contexts to which it remains suited, and new traditions emerge, in response to current issues. Whenever people have significant experiences in common, folklore will arise to name these experiences. Every element of folklore has its own history (which can be studied), its own functions and meanings.
Why use folklore in the classroom? Folklore is especially useful in the classroom because it is often counter-institutional. Living outside formal institutions, reflecting alternative traditions, folklore can help students think about how knowledge is created, and by whom, and how it is conveyed, passed on, or even rejected.
Folklore makes the most sense when it is explored in relation to a particular time and place - as when a single person tells a story for a particular reason on a particular occasion. Then, it is possible to understand how a point of view - a perspective - is embedded in that tale. It is possible to see the artistry and skill that makes a story capture the listener's imagination. And it is possible to see how others respond with stories that agree or disagree with the first teller.
Asking students to document and analyze their own folklore is a way of helping them to see how patterned and recognizable expressions help to define all of us as cultural and expressive beings. Using folklore is a way of valuing, and critically assessing, community experience and expression. It can be a way of democratizing knowledge.
Many teachers rely on folklore as a convenient, easy tool for diversifying curriculum or adding "multicultural content" to a classroom. While we agree that the richness of a people's experience is often represented well in folklore, we also see "pitfalls" to the use of folklore in this way. There are dangers in this type of presentation, which are outlined in the next article.

Oh boy, here we go again.
Catarina Migliorini is back with a brand new virginity auction! Continue Reading
Oh boy, here we go again.
Catarina Migliorini is back with a brand new virginity auction! Continue Reading
Remember Catarina Migliorini? She was that sexy 20 year old Brazilian girl who auctioned her virginity online for $780,000 last year. Well guess what, Catarina Migliorini is still a virgin!
As you might have guessed, the whole online virginity auction turned out to be pretty sleazy. "Natsu", the rich Japanese guy that bought Catarina's virginity, didn't look anything like he claimed and the whole situation made Catarina very uncomfortable.
For those of you who don't remember, the virginity auction was held as a promotion for a documentary called Virgins Wanted. It turns out that Justin Sisely, the documentary's director, is a real creep.
According to Catarina Migliorini, Sisely pulled the trigger on the virginity auction before she had fully consented to the idea. "I felt I was a victim … I was misled by Mr. Justin Sisely," Catarina Migliorini told the Huffington Post. "I believe he is trying to defraud me and others." She also says that Sisely never once covered her travel expenses nor did she ever see a cent from the $780,000 (if it ever even existed).
Meanwhile, Sisely says that Catarina Migliorini went through with the sex and that he has the footage to prove it. Because if you weren't convinced that the guy who auctioned off a girl's virginity was a complete sleaze bag just add pornographer or liar to his resume.
So why come forward now? Sisely is turning Virgins Wanted into a reality TV series about virgins. Catarina Migliorini has decided to speak out and try to warn other unsuspecting virgins of Sisely's deception.
But it's not all bad. Catarina Migliorini did manage to land a lucrative photo shoot for Playboy Brazil. Let's check out Catarina Migliorini's nude Playboy pictures now:
Oh boy, are you kidding me Playboy Brazil? Teddy bears and Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov? We know she's a virgin. There's no need for that heavy-handed imagery.
I wonder if Catarina Migliorini really is still a virgin. You'd think that someone world famous for being a sexy virgin would get sex offers all the time. Eventually something's got to give.
Unless Catarina Migliorini knows that without her virginity, she's just like us fornicating slobs. Her virginity is what makes her famous. She also knows that she's so sexy that her virginity is worth just under a million dollars. If I still had my virginity and someone tried to pay me $500 for it, I wouldn't have sex with anyone for less than $500 after that. I imagine Catarina Migliorini is going through the same thing, but with a much higher price tag.
Soccer. Samba. Sexy beach. Fast Five.
These are the things we think about when we think about Brazil. However, now there's one more thing we need to add to that list: Virginity Auctions.
Remember when Catarina Migliorini auctioned off her virginity last Fall for $780,000? Well, it appears that she's inspired another young, Brazilian virgin to do the same.
18 year old Rebecca Bernardo posted a video on Youtube last month offering her virginity to the highest bidder in hopes of paying for her mother's medical bills (unlike Catarina who may or may not donate her fortune to charity). Her mother has be bedridden since suffering a stroke just before Rebecca's 18th birthday.
Let's watch Rebecca's Youtube video!
20 year old, Brazilian babe Catarina Migliorini became world famous in October by auctioning off her virginity for $780,000. She was scheduled to lose her virginity to a Japanese man named "Natsu" in November but that fell through due to legal reasons.
The good news is that she will be appearing in Brazilian Playboy in January!

MetroPCS Makes Offer On Leap Wireless
Article Comments 37
Sep 4, 2007, 10:33 AM by (staff)
MetroPCS made an offer to purchase Leap Wireless for what amounts to $5.12 billion in stock. The terms of the offer would have MetroPCS swap 2.75 of its own shares for each share of Leap. Based on the current share prices and amount of outstanding stock, the total comes to $5.12 billion. If the offer is approved by shareholders and regulatory bodies, MetroPCS would own 65.4% of Leap. The combined entity could reduce operating costs, would have a broader reach than either alone, and would have licenses giving it presence in the top 200 markets.

Paris — Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara dropped a bombshell on Wednesday when he declared that the government would be dissolved.
The Secretary General to the President, Amadou Gon Coulibaly, told the press that the dissolution followed major dissent among the majority coalition, particularly involving the Alassane Ouattara's party the Rassemblement des républicains (RDR) and Parti démocratique de Côte d'Ivoire (PCDI), former president Henri Konan Bédié's party.
Prime Minister Jeannot Ahoussou-Kouadio and some thirty ministers from his cabinet swiftly executed the changes. Jeannot Ahoussou-Kouadio was named Prime Minister last March, replacing Guillaume Soro, president of the National Assembly.
The abrupt dismissals showed that all is not well in the majority coalition. In a press conference, Coulibaly explained why the government had been dissolved: conflicts have continued at the heart of the majority bloc, primarily implicating the RDR and the PCDI.
During a parliamentary session on Tuesday discussing a marriage law, the PDCI, Union pour la démocratie et la paix en Côte d'Ivoire (UDPCI), and Rassemblement des houphouétistes pour la démocratie et la paix (RDHP) voted against the government-backed proposal presented by the Minister of Family Affairs, Raymonde Goudou, of the PCDI.
According to the president's secretary general, the internal dissent threatens the majority coalition's support of the government.

Starting today, we can begin to breathe, eat, and drink a bit easier. The EPA begins enforcement of the Mercury and Air Toxics standard, a 20-year-old mandate that set limits on mercury emissions from coal and oil-fired power plants.
These safeguards are not for show. They reflect a raft of highly credible research proving that mercury, along with other toxic metals including arsenic, chromium and nickel, is spewed in to the air as an insidious byproduct of fossil fuel burning. These metals contaminate waterways, where they infuse the bodies of commercial fish and seafood. It's no surprise that women of childbearing age are urged not to eat salmon and shrimp. High accumulated mercury levels in these and other frequently consumed species can be devastating to the unborn and infants.
That reality gave this effort tremendous momentum -- a record-breaking 500,000 Americans reached out to the EPA in support of the standard, reinforcing the notion that we'd rather have healthy moms and babies than antiquated power plants raining contaminants down on our communities. We salute President Obama and EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson for standing fast against the antiquated interests of Big Coal and Big Oil in order to make this ruling a reality.
Unsurprising, however, has been the utility industry's prolonged, expensive campaign of misinformation -- millions of dollars and countless lobbying hours spent trying to convince legislators, and thus the American public, that a little mercury mutating a developing human nervous system was no big deal.
Some utility companies, along with members of Congress swimming in their campaign contributions, made heel-dragging on this issue an art. Their lobbyists are understandably upset, but we're happy to treat them to a seafood dinner if that assuages their grief.
The barrage of tiresome talking points from Republican and industry opposition about how this epitomizes big government's job-killing intrusion on free enterprise is already underway, but let's be as clear as the forthcoming air:
The downside for fossil fuel facilities is negligible at best. A mere eight percent of our nation's coal-generation capability will be taken offline in the years ahead -- decrepit, 30-to-50-year-old power plants that even utility companies agree need to be modernized or shut down outright as they have become too costly to upgrade or maintain, let alone operate.
So, let's take a well-deserved deep breath and celebrate the fact that regard for a nation's health and well-being has won out over the interests of a few backward-thinking bribe recipients who don't lose sleep over causing cancer and birth defects.

Another day, another Chris Brown Twitter drama. Country singer Miranda Lambert lambasted Brown and the Grammys for allowing him to perform in light of his assault on Rihanna in 2009. She continued her verbal and PR assault on Brown at one of her concerts. While Brown was relatively quiet in regards to her specific comments, he spoke out the best way he knows how yesterday: his oft-controversial Twitter account.
