Finally, Apple answers call for iPhoneJanuary 9, 2007
What the 'iPhone' should doNovember 24, 2006
A CNET News.com survey of 75 Apple and AT&T stores indicates that may be a wise approach.
Not one Apple store contacted offered would-be iPhone buyers the chance to get on a waiting list, but some AT&T stores and retailers did. The catch: not all stores that sell AT&T phones expect to be selling the iPhone on June 29, and some that will expressed concern about receiving sufficient quantities of the highly anticipated device.
An AT&T-owned store in Times Square in midtown Manhattan, for instance, said that about 100 people had been placed on a waiting list. When asked whether being on that list guarantees priority for buying an iPhone, a store employee replied, "It depends how accessible you make yourself. I'm going to call you. If you're here, you'll get it."
One open question is whether AT&T/Cingular franchises and resellers will ever be selling the iPhone. (Because exclusive Cingular agents have signs and decor that looked just like company-owned stores, it hasn't been easy to tell them apart. But as of a few weeks ago, locally owned stores are now called AT&T authorized retailers and are labeled as such in the company's online directory.)
Tips for landing an iPhone
Log on to Apple's Web-based store on June 29. The phone is set to go on sale at 6 p.m. that day, Jobs announced. Sign up for updates here. But forget trying AT&T's e-commerce site; the company says it won't be selling iPhones online, at least initially.
Call a few local AT&T stores and see if you can get on their waiting lists or if your local sales representative has any tips about how that particular store is handling requests. Most will tell you it's all first-come, first-served, but practices appear to vary widely.
Show up early at an Apple store or company-owned AT&T store before they open on June 29. Most stores say they will be keeping normal hours that day, although midnight parties at Apple stores don't appear to be completely ruled out. The big question is how many phones each store will stock.
Wait until the June 29 mania dies down and hope that AT&T and Apple decide to allow locally owned AT&T franchises and resellers to carry the product as well. More locations should mean more units--and shorter lines.
AT&T spokesman John Kampfe initially denied on Tuesday that any franchises or resellers would receive iPhones. "The iPhone will be available in all AT&T-owned retail stores nationwide, which number about 1,800. Again it will be sold only in AT&T-owned retail stores, Apple retail stores and through Apple's online store," Kampfe said in an e-mail interview.
But in the News.com survey, some franchises have said the opposite: that they expect to supply customers with iPhones starting June 29. Others, however, have said they're not getting the product at all; some say they're unsure whether they'll stock them; and some said that if they did, the phones would likely not arrive until at least July.
A Manhattan AT&T franchise on Third Avenue said on Tuesday that it's also expecting the phone on June 29 but did not have a waiting list. In Miami, an employee at an AT&T franchise on Dixie Highway said she had 16 people on a waiting list for the 15 phones expected in the first shipment and would continue taking names for the next batch of 15 phones. Those are expected to arrive two weeks later.
In a follow-up conversation, AT&T's Kampfe indicated that franchises might be able to start selling phones after June 29. "We haven't disclosed what we're doing beyond the 29th," he said. "That's not to say we are going to make them available, but as of the 29th, it is only going to be in AT&T-owned stores, Apple stores, and Apple online."
Some other tidbits that surfaced in the survey:
When asked whether it was possible to get on a waiting list or preorder the iPhone, many AT&T store representatives cited an internal company memorandum barring both practices. But AT&T's Kampfe said he could not confirm or comment on the existence of such a policy. "Our policy is that it is going to be sold on the day--no advance sales or anything of that nature," he told CNET News.com in a phone interview.
In San Francisco, an AT&T franchise store on Chestnut Street said it had assembled a waiting list of sorts, but "maxed out" about two weeks ago and would no longer be adding names to the list. That store said it expected to receive about 30 iPhones, but most likely not until at least a few days after the projected launch date. Five more stores in San Francisco, most of them AT&T-owned, said they weren't taking preorders or starting waiting lists, as did the downtown Apple store. Another franchise on Kearny Street said it wasn't stocking the phone at all.
Two stores in the Los Angeles area, which appeared from their directory listing to be AT&T-owned, said they were taking down names for an informal waiting list, but they couldn't guarantee that those on the list would actually get their hands on the first crop of phones. (Three other area stores, however, declined such requests at all.)
Very few employees at AT&T or Apple stores had the faintest idea how many phones their stores will stock, with many of them blaming that lack of information on secrecy from the corporate powers at Apple.
But some were more optimistic than others about the quantities. A Miami Beach Apple store employee enthusiastically predicted that there would be "enough" for everyone who wanted one, while an Apple store employee in Cambridge, Mass., said she'd heard "good numbers" of iPhones would be available at her location. A Salt Lake City Apple store employee, for his part, couldn't be more specific than "a bunch." Estimates by some AT&T store employees were more conservative, however. Employees at company-owned stores in downtown San Francisco and Tampa, Fla., admitted they were expecting only a "limited" number, at least at first.
The cube-shaped Apple store on New York's Fifth Avenue may be open for business 24 hours a day, but a representative who answered the phone chuckled (knowingly?) when asked whether that location would begin selling the phones at midnight on June 29. Apple hasn't told the store anything about that, she said.
At Apple's Salt Lake City outpost, an employee said he had heard buzz about a midnight launch party, but knew only one thing for certain: come June 29, there was sure to be a line going out the door. Almost every customer that walks into the store asks about the iPhone, he said.
An Omaha, Neb., Apple store employee said he fully expected to see people camping outside before the launch, while a Portland, Ore. employee actually advised doing so: "I recommend pitching a tent," he said, perhaps only half kidding.

- So how do I know?
- Seriously, I've checked six ways from Sunday. On AT&T's Web site,
it says you can use a Google Earth layer to view AT&T-owned retail
stores, but they all pop up as Cingular. Ditto with the company
directory! Is my local store (which comes up as "Cingular Wireless"
on the dir. and Google Earth, and the guy's business card says
"AT&T Mobility") a COR? Will it have iPhones or not? Any help?

- Check for service
- If the store you are going to doesn't allow you to do handset exchanges or doesn't take payments for your wireless account at the store itself, then you are dealing with a franchise location only.
Real company owned and operated stores can offer handset exchanges or take payments for your wireless account.

Fast forward to about 1:13:30, that's where Jobs starts talking about the iPhone. The exact quote is "I believe it's 6pm in the evening that it will go on sale." Apple PR folks have yet to clarify what exactly he meant by that. Did you see a reference to "local time" somewhere else?

I?m rethinking whether it?s worth being made
an equivalent of a barnyard animal or not.
A 6 PM release of a product seems awfully
risky of making for complete confusion
in an already busy retail environment by
that time of the day. And a busy Friday night
at that!
I?ve not made up my yet, but Apple may
have lost a thousand dollar sale from me.
I?m willing to be in-line at an early hour
when a business first opens for the day,
but in line meshing with other people
whom may, or may not be there for the same reason?
I guess they have their strategy.
I may recreate mine as well.
Simply not make an iPhone purchase.

- Wow! Are you prone to tantrums, much?
- So if you can't get one at launch because you'd rather be in the
morning rush than a Friday evening rush, then you won't get one
at all?
Line-ups or not, I think most people will wait a few days before
buying one, so I don't see your logic leading to no purchase if
you can't avoid the first night's crowds.
You either want one badly enough to brave that mob, or you can
wait for the next opportunity, but if you won't buy one if you
can't get it handed to you in what almost amounts to a private
ceremony, then you either don't really want one, or you're just
being very childish.

Can't figure out what to buy a loved one for Christmas or Hanukkah?
I believe I have solved your problem. Boeing is selling a pair of 737 business class seats for $1,950. State of the art business class seats they are not — they look more like coach to me — but they sure would look good in your home, right?
Here's what Boeing has to say about the seat:
Add preferred seating to your home theater, office, or family room – everyone gets an aisle seat! These are genuine Boeing 737 jetliner business-class seats that were used as demonstration models for airline customers, so they experienced only light wear; they have been cleaned and refurbished.
But, wait. There's more!
Comfortable, cushioned seats are upholstered in heavy-duty blue leatherette. Authentic features include manual recline, contoured headrest, center console, trash/ashtray compartment in arms, and tray tables and footrests in seat backs.
Better hurry, though. Apparently it takes two weeks for Boeing to ready to shipment.

Is P. Diddy Engaged To Cassie? Here's the Ring (Plus Look-Alikes!)
Over the weekend P. Diddy posted a photo on Instagram that hinted at, well, let's rephrase, pretty much told the whole world that a proposal was in the works! The Instagram was of a very large, very beautiful emerald-cut diamond engagement ring with a caption that read, "Baby do you like it? I just want to get you wat you Like ! I just wanna Mk you smile :) #takeDat. !" — so we're thinking that he and long-time girlfriend Cassie Ventura are finally engaged.
Not long after Mr. Combs uploaded his ring photo, the "Me & U" singer was tagged in Keyshia Cole's Instagram photo wearing what appears to be her stunning new engagement ring (and when I say stunning, I also mean huge!).
Finally (to crack this proposal case) Cassie ALSO posted an Instagram pic yesterday of her and her beau in New York with a similar sparkler on her ring finger. Still questioning?

'Warehouse 13': Time travel a definite perk for Allison Scagliotti's wardrobeAdd to Favorites | Warehouse 13
Costume designer Joanne Hansen says the best and most challenging part of her work on Syfy's original series "Warehouse 13" is the time travel aspect of the show.
"Because it is driven by artifacts from any time period, we enter into worlds we might normally not," she tells Zap2it.
But whatever worlds the show visits, the clothes worn by Claudia Donovan ( Allison Scagliotti) stay true to the character's strong, edgy style.
RELATED: Badass Babes of TV & Film
RELATED: Badass Babes of TV & Film
"They reflect her independence and strength of character," Hansen says. "She can do anything in them, from tinkering with artifacts to up and go out on a mission."
The styling of Claudia's jewelry is a collaborative effort between Hansen and Scagliotti.
"We shop in vintage shops for a lot of these pieces and some vintage political buttons or alternative current bands," Hansen says. "We like independent jewelry makers such as Missy Industry and Cowgirls and Indians Resale. We go to Etsy online."
Hansen points out that two of the outfits shown below - the first and third ones - have a similar feel.
"They are not costumey, and they basically represent the same kind of silhouette," she says.
"Here Claudia is wearing a fitted, short cropped take on a motorcycle jacket that is an acid-dyed sweatshirt fabric and layered over a colored tank and skinny jeans and styled with her various buttons and jewelry. The tank is a Vince tank, and the jeans are Hudson. The leather cuff bracelet -- a lot of those kinds of things come from street vendors. Her jewelry comes from the world she inhabits on the show. We try to imagine where Claudia would live and work in a city or travel and be comfortable."
"In this episode, players were hooked up to a video game in your mind, and the players were characters from your own mind, but there were glitches. So Claudia and Pete went in to fix the situation, and they chose their characters. Claudia chose to be herself, but it was heard as 'elf.' So we did rock 'n' roll '70s glam meets an elf. We built that costume. She has elf ears."
"This is what we call a Claudia gray work jacket. When she is at the warehouse, often she is fixing things, or she is tinkering and inventing something. She is wearing Hudson jeans again."
"That's Civil War re-enactors. This is contemporary times, but Steve and Claudia are searching for an artifact they suspect belongs to somebody within this group of Civil War re-enactors. Earlier in the episode, she was in a man's Civil War outfit, and they posed as soldiers. During battle she was shot and had to leave the field, so she dug out of someone's bag a costume and a wig so they can continue to search for this artifact. That was a fully built costume with a hoop skirt, and the layers are a very kind of 'Gone With the Wind' interpretation."

The Nakawa Chief Magistrate's court today rejected an application for criminal summons to be issued for the Chief of Defence Forces, Gen Aronda Nyakairima over comments he made about the possibility of a coup.
In her ruling, Chief Magistrate Joyce Kabaje refused to sanction the charges, sought by Luweero Woman MP Brenda Nabukenya on grounds that the application was incompetent. She said private criminal proceedings must be accompanied by a letter from the local authorities. Kabaje added that her court had no jurisdiction to entertain this case, because Aronda is a resident of Buziga, which is in the jurisdiction of Makindye Magistrate's court.
She advised Nabukenya to channel her complaint through the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) for better management. Nyakairima made the alleged utterances during a press briefing at the ministry of Defence headquarters in Mbuya, last month. But Nabukenya's lawyer Julius Galisonga was not done.
"Aronda made the remarks in Mbuya, which is within the jurisdiction of this court; so, we cannot rush to Makindye where he stays, that is why we are going to appeal this ruling," he said.

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsHow To Drivetrain
One-Day DIY Torque Converter Install on a 2013 Ford Mustang GT, Part 4
We find a weakness in our Roush blown 5.0 the hard way and do an expert torque converter upgrade.
Team C&C is back for part four of our 2011 Ford Mustang GT buildup, and we have been racing our butts off to bring you some interesting info, and even some that isn't so awesome—because we're keeping it real.
Our goal with this Pony has been clear from the start—go as fast as we can using the Roush supercharger, but with the stock suspension, exhaust, and gears. It's been fun and educational thus far, and if you've missed anything, here's a recap. Please note that all of our upgrades were done in real-world, do-it-yourself situations.
We started out with a brand-new, no-frills 5.0L auto-equipped Stang and bolted on serious horsepower with a Roush supercharger kit. The OEM fit and finish made for a straightforward, two-person install with only a few nicks and cuts—and in one day we were feeding boost into our five point oh and ready to bruise Camaro and Mopar owners' egos at the local test-and-tune.
We headed down the slippery horsepower slope with the Phase One Roush supercharger (PN 421388), rated at 525 flywheel horsepower, while maintaining 50-state emissions-legal status. Wasting no time, we moved on to Phase Two (PN 421390) with a custom Jon Lund tune that yielded us a very quick 10.90 at 128 mph. There was a lot more power to be unlocked by throwing Shell URT Advanced race fuel into the mix, which led us into deep-10-second territory.
Ultimately, we gained well over 200 rwhp and nearly 120 lb-ft of torque with a one-day supercharger install, an emailed custom tune, and race fuel, all while maintaining stock driveability and reliability. But at a power level of nearly 600 hp at the tires, the factory fuel system was in starvation mode. An upgrade was a must, and again we turned to Roush for its intuitively designed offerings that never disappoint.
Within 20 minutes, we were installing a Roush plug-and-play Fuel Pump Voltage Booster (PN 421602) for 2011 and newer Mustangs. We ditched the stock injectors for ID1000 injectors to adequately fuel our boosted Coyote. From there, we turned up the wick with more boost by installing a VMP 100mm idler pulley and 72mm blower pulley. Jon Lund worked his magic and we raced all weekend at the NMRA event in Maryland in conditions that most racers can only dream about.
The Good News and the Bad News
We'll give you the good news first. In primo air, we went a staggering 10.44 at 134 mph with a 1.51 60-foot with completely stock suspension, factory exhaust, the 3.15 gear, and a factory converter. Like any race application where you push the limits, anything can be on borrowed time.
Ready for the bad news? After the glorious 10.44 pass, the oil light of doom lit up, followed by a very bad sound—it was a goner.
The oil pump gears are a known weak point in the new-school 5.0 engines. We confirmed this was the sole cause of our engine failure by sending it off to Michael Rauscher at L&M Engines for a tear down. So, if you planning serious abuse of your engine, it's highly recommended that you upgrade your oil pump gears to save some serious moolah and headache down the road.
Project C&C Coyote Lives Again
As our brand-new Steed sat engineless in the garage, we had no choice but to bite the bullet and decide on a new engine. We considered rebuilding the factory mill, but it was easier to simply buy one.
Being boost junkies, a lower compression platform was best for our needs and Ford Racing offers a 5.0 302-cid Aluminator crate engine. Loaded with goodies like Mahle forged pistons and Manley H-beam connecting rods with ARP bolts, it can more than handle severe use. At 9.5:1, it's a lower-compression option versus factory (11.0:1) specs and perfect for boosted applications like ours (a high-compression Aluminator is also available). We called our friends at Espeut Performance and Pete Espeut gave us the Team C&C hookup. Thanks to my husband, JD, the new FRPP crate engine was installed and the Roush supercharger was put back on its throne—and it purred like a kitten.
We didn't have a chance to dyno the car after installing the fuel system and smaller pulley trackside due to the tragic carnage of the stock engine, but the previous dyno numbers were 582 rwhp and 462 lb-ft of torque in 70 degree air with a custom tune, stock fuel system, and 85mm Roush-supplied pulley.
After the engine swap, we headed back to Stang-Hi Performance in Baton Rouge to get new data. It should be noted that we hadn't retuned the new engine combo and it was shifting about 500 rpm sooner than necessary because of the previous engine's tune settings. The lower compression made the numbers a little softer considering the 72mm pulley and fuel system had to equate to a significant gain in horsepower. In the 101-degree Louisiana summer heat, the dyno showed 579 rwhp and 515 lb-ft of torque.
We saw an increase of 25 rwhp between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm with the Aluminator over the stock engine and picked up 47 peak lb-ft of torque as well as averaged 35 more lb-ft between 3,500 and 5,500 rpm. In short, we lost horsepower due to the reduced compression and loss of boost due to the heat, but it gained torque and the ability to apply much more boost than before.
At the current boost level, we are seeing consistent 10.90s at high 120 mph with 1.60 60-foots. We lost some e.t. without a doubt, but the new combo hasn't been retuned to maximize power or shift points.

as an irish fan i worry deeply about our chances @ rwc 2011! ! in fairness we might pull off 1 big performance in the tournement, but 2 or 3 is a big ask ...we r limited to the xtreme & even the lesser teams will sniff out r demise!! i think france showed us the way but im not sure if kidney is truly up 2 the task of taking this team forward 2 any great heights other than wat he,s achieved already! iv been following the super rugby very closley this season & it speaks volumes of we're we need 2 be...80 minutues of pure intensity..with guile & a cutting edge!! could be a bleak fairwell 2 our talisman...prove me wrong guys!!

I think this time that France will stuff England comprehensively - especially if Ireland beat them on Saturday. However, if you and Dewi, in particular, are prepared to accept some criticism, may I say that i am disappointed in your analysis of England's flaws. You discuss many things, including lack of imagination etc., but none of these are as fundamental as the backs' inability to take the tackle, pass out of it and RUN ON TO THE GODDAM BALL - fast! I have waited about two years for you tell me why they don't do this. Can you please tell me now.

What a shocker! Whereas the other home nations are happy to inform the general public of their respective RWC squad selections without overstated pomp & ceremony, the RFU decide to make us wait until the corporate members are comfortably seated and sufficiently fed and watered before allowing us the privilege to witness the announcement 'Live on RFU.com'. Having enjoyed sharing the guesswork and anticipation of this announcement with like-minded supporters of the game I feel extremely let-down by the selfishness of the RFU who's reaction I anticipate to be "well we said the 22nd August but we didn't say what time". Same old - same old, the supporters will watch anyway! Makes you proud to be English!!

To say starting production on Season 3 of "Call the Midwife" is like riding a bike has an entirely different meaning for Miranda Hart -- so she backpedals when using the turn of phrase.
The 6-foot-1 comedic actress has more than convincingly displayed poor bike-riding skills as Camilla Cholmeley-Browne, affectionately known as Chummy, on the period drama. Such lousy hand-eye coordination is just one of the many ways the clumsy and lovable character has endeared herself in the eyes of "Midwife" viewers.
"The idiom has lost its power when Chummy's riding skills are considered," 40-year-old actress told The Times during a trip to Beverly Hills for the Television Critics Assn. press tour. "But in the everyday sense, picking up on the show has been without wobbles and crashes -- thankfully."
PHOTOS: TCA press tour: The Scene
The popular series, based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth, centers on a group of midwives and the nuns of the nursing convent Nonnatus House in post-World War II East London. Season 3 of "Call the Midwife," now in the early stages of production, is set to roll out in Britain in 2014 before making its stateside debut on PBS soon thereafter.
We talked to Hart about playing the fan favorite, the trouble of filming with babies and Chummy's Charlie Chaplin clothes.
The big "Doctor Who" announcement was recently made -- and people were going nuts about it. Were you just as eager to learn who it was? You were one of the speculated names!
That would have been fun to see -- journalists going crazy on Twitter! It was funny because there was speculation about whether the next one was going to be a woman. And, yeah, my name got thrown into the pack quite a few times. So it was fun to be a part of that ride. So, I was caught up in it all a little more than I would normally be.
Would it have even been something you would consider had they made an offer?
You know, I haven't thought about it. If you get an offer like that, it's definitely something you have to think long and hard over. Hello, it's a big show. But I love the actor they've selected -- Peter Capaldi. He's great.
You've started production on Season 3--
Yeah, we just started. We're actually filming the Christmas episode first -- naturally, when we're having a hot week in London. We have to have summer now when I'm in wool and tweed, scarves, coats and gloves. Lovely.
Is it weird to go into this season, in that it's reached the point where the show has run out of stories from Jennifer's memoir?
I was a little worried, initially, but it was a seamless transition. We don't get the scripts in advance, so we're kind of seeing how things are turning out as we go along. There doesn't seem to be a jolt of difference. And I think she always had to make up some things -- not necessarily big stories, but to create the television world of it. But, no, the main creator and writer Heidi Thomas has continued the great stories and has made them feel part of the word. There are still a few Jennifer stories going on in Season 3, a few.
And we're in 1959 now!
Yes, 1959! We're about to hit the '60s. I'm scared for Chummy. I don't know how Chummy will cope with that. She'd be like [clutches her collar], "Oh, gosh. I'm not sure about this."
A lot is happening. Contraception is being mentioned -- it hasn't in the scripts I read, but they're probably hearing more of that at work. One of the mothers who's about to give birth wanted to give birth in a hospital -- and even that was quite shocking. It was like, "What do you mean you want to go to a hospital? We're fine at home with just us. What do you mean you want a doctor?" Things are shifting health-wise, medically .... But in terms of gearing up for swinging '60s -- no way. We're very pure. We might go to a jazz club, and that's already pushing it.
I sort of love that simple, calm way of life. I kind of wish I was there. It was more peaceful and less frantic. People didn't live on their iPhones. They weren't trying to communicate all the time or work all the time. They were incredibly hard-working and had amazing jobs, but their home life and community life was very simple.
Yeah, but would you want to live then if you were a pregnant woman?
Um, no. Definitely wouldn't want to give birth in those days. Have you seen what they do with chairs? I'd rather enjoy the jazz clubs, the music, the jive, the knitting -- I'm into that. Not so into the idea of giving birth on a dirty carpet with a twentysomething midwife.

Photos: penguins devastated by oil spillJeremy Hance
March 22, 2011

Located the remote Southern Atlantic, Nightingale Island is a part of the UK's Tristan da Cunha archipelago. The island's are home to a variety of birdlife, including species that survive no-where else but on the archipelago.

Workers found an "awful scene" with an oil slick ranging "from thin films of oil, small balls and larger clumps of tar with the smell of diesel everywhere," according to the Department.
In addition, a tugboat has been sent from the nearest coast—South Africa—to drag the broken craft away. Fortunately, all 22 employees of the wrecked cargo craft are safe. The tug boat is also bringing an environmental expert, Estelle van der Merwe, with experience in working with oiled birds as an advisor.

"Nightingale is one of two large islands in the Tristan da Cunha group that are rodent-free. If rats gain a foothold, their impact would be devastating," expalins Richard Cuthbert, a research biologist with Britain's Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB). The conservation team has already set rat traps in preparation of a rat infestation.
The oil spill, which spreads over 8 miles (13 kilometers), also threatens the remote islands' main economic source: fishing. The population of Tristan da Cunha is just under 300 people.
Rockhopper penguins are easy to identify, sporting long yellow spiked plumes and red eyes. Their unique look made them one of the stars of the popular animated film, Happy Feet.
Though beloved around the world, penguins are among the world's most threatened bird families. Industry fishing, which competes with penguins for their fish, habitat destruction, climate change, and disasters such as oil spills has pushed 60% of penguin species to be considered threatened with extinction.

Hundreds of endangered penguins covered in oil after remote spill
(03/21/2011) Conservation workers have found hundreds of oiled northern rockhopper penguins (Eudyptes moseleyi) after a cargo vessel wrecked on Nightingale Island, apart of the UK's Tristan da Cunha archipelago. Northern rockhopper penguins are listed as Endangered by the IUCN Red List. According to a press release by BirdLife International, the spill threatens nearly half of the world's northern rockhopper population.
Gulf of Mexico bottom still coated in oil, recovery long way off
(02/21/2011) Samantha Joye of the University of Georgia has seen the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico and the view wasn't pretty. Speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Joye told the conference that she found places where oil lay on the Gulf floor nearly 4 inches (10 centimeters) thick. Joye's findings contradict rosier pictures of the overall damage caused by the 2010 BP oil spill, including a recent statement by Kenneth Feinberg, the US government czar for oil compensation, that the Gulf would largely recover by next year.
The penguin crisis: over 60 percent of the world's penguins threatened with extinction
(06/10/2010) Everyone loves penguins. With their characteristic black-and-white 'tuxedo' markings, upright waddle, and childlike stature, penguins seem at once exotic and familiar: exotic because they live far from most human habitations, familiar because they appear innumerable books and movies. From Mr. Popper's Penguins to Happy Feet, and from March of the Penguins to And Tango Makes Three, penguins pop-up everywhere. The flightless birds have even provided the name and symbol to one of the world's most successful publishing houses. Yet despite their popularity amid the human kingdom, few people seem aware that penguins worldwide are facing an extinction crisis.

Classy is one of the few words that doesn't come to mind when reminiscing about my summer adventures. It was the summer before freshman year of college and I had been seeing this guy Jake for a few months. School began in five days and as it was quickly approaching, I had tried to get in as much fun as I could before homework and dorm life commenced. I was hanging out with Christina one night when Jake texted me and asked if I wanted to come over to his place for a bonfire. I agreed to go over if Christina could come with, so I asked him to invite a friend over for her. His name was Darren and he seemed like a pretty nice guy, so when he texted us girls later that week to come over and hang out with him and Jake, we obliged his request.
The guys were drinking beer and watching Van Wilder: Freshman Year. Both of them remarked that they couldn't wait for college because it would be just like the movie; in other words, they were idiots. Christina and I rolled our eyes and asked them if they seriously thought Kristin Cavallari would be capable of matriculating to college or if they thought college girls were all stars of some lame reality show, all the while continuing to stomach the disgusting beers the boys had given us to drink.
Not long after I had stopped counting my drinks (I was never really good at math), I was drunk and ready for some adventure. Christina had barely finished her second beer when she begged me to rid my mind of the idea of playing the card game "Speed" but strip-style. Before she could beg anymore I was already in my bra. I kept losing the game but I refused to take off more than my shirt in effort to remain somewhat classy that night, so we resorted to making a Wii drinking game out of Mario Party 8. Frustration began taking over as I lost every game after that, and I was really getting tired of drinking beer. Jake asked if we could watch a movie, and so he and I went to Darren's room to pick one out. I chose "Without a Paddle," and Darren left his room to put in the movie with his mattress in tow, leaving me and Jake in his room together. Inasmuch as it's unclassy to hook up on the floor, I was drunk and did it anyway. It never even crossed my mind that Christina was alone in the living room with Darren and his mattress watching the movie I picked out. In her frustration to get me home, Christina threw open the door to the bedroom and walked in. "We're leaving. NOW." Christina said while promptly shielding her eyes. She had just walked in on me and Jake hooking up; We were both minimally clothed, and she was not happy.
What was that about remaining somewhat classy?

Super Tuesday: Mitt Romney takes six states
There's a potential bright spot in Illinois, where a special political action committee that supports him is already airing TV ads.
Romney faces the extended calendar with a smaller financial advantage than the one he enjoyed through the campaign's early months.
He announced Wednesday that he raised $11.5 million in February, but rival Santorum has said he brought in more than $9 million.
Romney was able to close significant gaps with Santorum in places like Ohio and Michigan by spending significant amounts of money on TV ads.
Romney also has acknowledged making a series of campaign mistakes and has said he is working to improve as a candidate. In the CNBC interview, he acknowledged that it's impossible to know whether his plan to cut marginal tax rates by 20 percent will add to the federal deficit.
"It can't be scored," Romney said. He said details still need to be worked out with Congress. Romney also shifted his position on the minimum wage this week, telling CNBC that "there's probably not a need to raise the minimum wage."
Earlier this year, Romney said he hadn't changed the position he held when he was governor of Massachusetts, which is that the minimum wage should rise automatically along with inflation.
Romney took a break from campaigning Wednesday and spent the day at home in Massachusetts.

A week ago, a huge, painstakingly orchestrated PR campaign was timed to coincide with multiple publications of a long-term study by the ENCODE consortium in top-ranking journals. The ENCODE project (EP) is essentially the next stage after the Human Genome Project (HGP). The HGP sequenced all our DNA (actually a mixture of individual genomes); the EP is an attempt to define what all our DNA does by several circumstantial-evidence gathering and analysis techniques.
The EP results purportedly revolutionize our understanding of the genome by proving that DNA hitherto labeled junk is in fact functional and this knowledge will enable us to maintain individual wellbeing but also miraculously cure intractable diseases like cancer and diabetes.

Robbery is the crime of seizing property through violence or intimidation. More precisely, at common law, robbery was defined as taking the property of another, with the intent to permanently deprive the person of that property, by means of force or fear. It should be noted, in common with most legal terms, the precise definition of robbery varies between jurisdictions. Robbery is also when there is forced intimidation placed upon the victim/victims.
Common issues in differentiating robbery from simple theft is the degree of force required and when the force is applied. For example, in a purse grab the thief takes a purse off his victim's shoulder. The victim might not have noticed. Whether this is an example of robbery or theft is not clear. What if, in pulling the purse, the victim is pulled to the ground, but still does not have time to offer resistance? Or if the purse strap is cut by the thief with a knife? The answers to these questions will vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
The element of force differentiates robbery from embezzlement, larceny, and other types of theft. Piracy (robbery at sea) is a type of robbery. Armed robbery involves the use of a weapon. Aggravated robbery involves the use of a deadly weapon or something that appears to be a deadly weapon. Highway robbery or "mugging" takes place outside and in a public place such as a sidewalk, street, or parking lot. Carjacking is the act of stealing a car from a victim by force. Criminal slang for robbery includes "blagging" (armed robbery, usually of a bank), and "steaming" (organised robbery on underground train systems).
A robbery would be committed if an aggressor forcibly snatched a mobile phone or if he used a knife to make an implied threat of violence to the holder and then took the phone. The victim of the theft need not be the person who is threatened or assaulted. It is not necessary to prove that the victim was actually frightened. The prosecution must prove that the defendant put or sought to put the victim or some other person of being then and there subjected to force.
A robbery would also be committed where the aggressor steals from a jeweller by threatening to assault a customer visiting the shop in order to force the jeweller to hand over his stock. A threat must be immediate - a threat that the victim will then and there be subjected to force.
A theft accompanied by a threat to damage property in order to commit it will not constitute robbery, but may (depending on the other requirements of that offence) disclose an offence of blackmail.
Property stolen during a robbery remains stolen and thus its disposal or realization etc will still constitute an offence of handling stolen property.
Following R v Mitchell (2005) All ER (D) 74, the sentencing guidelines provided in Attorney General's References (Nos 4 and 7 of 2002) (2002) EWCA Crim 127 no longer apply to street robbery involving the use of guns for which more severe deterrent sentences will almost invariably be required. In November 2005, the Sentencing Guidelines Council issued new draft guidelines concerning robbery . See below for difinitive guidelines re robbery.
The maximum sentence is life imprisonment. Robbery and assault with intent to rob are also subject to the mandatory sentencing regime under the Criminal Justice Act 2003. On the 25 July 2006 the Sentencing Guidelines Council published Definitive Guideline on Robbery
During the English Civil War, Cromwell's supporters castigated Prince Rupert by calling him "Prince Robber".

Smithsonian to feature artists with disabilities
WASHINGTON (AP) - Artwork by 15 emerging artists with disabilities is going on view next week at the Smithsonian Institution, and the artists are being awarded cash prizes.
The artists were selected in a juried competition organized by VSA, an affiliate of the Kennedy Center. VSA was formerly known as Very Special Arts. It was founded by Jean Kennedy Smith, the last living sibling of President John F. Kennedy.
The works go on view Sept. 7 at the Smithsonian's S. Dillon Ripley Center on the National Mall.
Dimelza Broche of Jacksonville, Fla., won the top prize of $20,000 for her oil-on-canvas painting "Soul Reader." Emily McPeek of Van Nuys, Calif., was awarded $10,000 for her oil painting "Women Praying." And Xi Nan of Decorah, Iowa, won $6,000 for works in porcelain.

OK, so a borrowed line from the Beatles' "Glass Onion" doesn't help much. But it did break up the room -- a frequent occurrence Saturday at the 23rd annual awards given out by the nation's television critics.

STOMACH ache? Try some yogurt to soothe the pain. Lactobacillus acidophilus, a "friendly" bacterium often found in yogurt and "probiotic" drinks, boosts the synthesis of receptors for opioids and cannabinoids, our natural painkillers, in gut cells.
A team led by Christel Rousseaux of the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research in Lille saw the effect in human intestinal cells as well as in the guts of live rodents (Nature Medicine, DOI: 10.1038/nm1521).
Rats had a 20 per cent increase in their abdominal pain threshold - or twice that if they had irritable bowel syndrome. The team believes the bacteria could be a cheap, safe treatment for the 20 per cent of people who get serious abdominal pain.

Tests pass locally, and it's hard to object to deleting code! I don't have a single nitpick to make.
Assuming buildbot likes this I'll submit it. Thank you!

Hello eager deprecators (especially Thijs):
In this case I don't object to the removal, because the code we're talking about here can arguably be said to violate Google's terms of service and we should never have shipped it in the first place. (You should be using the google custom search API if you want to automate things, which this module never supported.)
However, tickets like this should be worded so as to explain that the code should be removed for a reason (such as "maybe it violates Google's terms of service"). The fact that code can be removed does not necessarily mean that it should be. Deprecated code should be removed for a specific reason, when it becomes an unreasonable maintenance burden, or if its presence is for some reason confusing or problematic.
Generally, we should hang on to deprecated functionality unless it starts to cause us problems and there is a reason to remove it; doing otherwise is by definition breaking people's programs for no reason.
So, again, no problem with this specific ticket (there is a great reason to remove this code, it just wasn't clearly described), but I am concerned over the general pattern of removing things as soon as we possibly can according to policy. In the future, let's start with a description of why we want to remove it.
