iOS 7: Phone, FaceTime, Messages + Contacts
Soon after Apple debuted the completely redesigned iOS 7 on June 10, 2013, it became obvious that the iOS user experience changed enough to merit a public re-introduction—a forward-looking discussion of the updated user interface and integrated apps. Our series on iOS 7 has looked at every key section of Apple's new operating system, starting with setting up iOS devices, the new Lock Screen and Home Screen, then continuing through other major UI elements and built-in apps. For a broad look at all of iOS 7's changes from iOS 6, check out our big picture look at iOS 7, published on June 10, as well as our articles on iOS 7 setup, the Home Screen, and Lock Screen; this article was originally published on June 17 and subsequently updated with new details. Note that some features and graphics may change before iOS 7's final release.
With iOS 7, Apple has made relatively few changes to its Phone app, outside of a different cosmetic design that's consistent with the rest of the operating system. Apart from largely aesthetic changes to the Contacts tab, which are discussed further in the standalone Contacts app section below, the major changes are in the Keypad and (Visual) Voicemail features. Keypad looks considerably different but works almost the same way. Instead of square buttons, all of the number buttons are round, and pressing one lets your Home Screen wallpaper shine through. The Add To Contacts and Delete buttons have been removed from their prior places next to the Call button. They now appear only after you've entered a number, and oddly sit below and next to the number you're dialing—our gut feeling is that this app will be redesigned before iOS 7 is released.
Voicemail is somewhat of a mess at this point. While all of the controls carry over from iOS 6, they've been moved around. The scrubber, Call Back, and Delete buttons now appear below the message that is selected, while Greeting and Edit buttons remain at the top. Apple is attempting to add duration stamps to each message, but hasn't yet figured out where to place them. Again, this part of the app will surely be sorted out before iOS 7 is released. Redesigns to the incoming call and call-in-progress screens have turned prior rounded buttons into blocks, which we'd expect to see improved later this year.
Likewise, FaceTime is functionally very similar to past versions. Apart from tweaks to the calling screens that are consistent with the rest of the UI and Phone app, the biggest change is the addition of FaceTime Audio. Voice-only calls can now be placed directly from iOS device to iOS device using Wi-Fi; there's no need for a cellular connection. In early testing, the audio is very clear—superior to calling over most cellular networks we've heard—and the service works well on the iPod touch. Apple didn't make a big deal about its VoIP solution at WWDC, but we think we'll be hearing more about it this Fall.
Messages looks quite similar to the iOS 6 app. In iOS 7, tapping on the Contact button in the top right corner drops down FaceTime Audio and Video buttons, as well as the ability to access more info about the person. The edit button is gone, but messages can be forwarded or copied by holding down on them and selecting more from the menu that pops up.
Apple has added the ability for contextual elements such as dates to be automatically recognized in Messages, although in this early release, tapping on the underlined phrase does nothing. Also, instead of seeing contacts' full names in group texts, a setting lets you show only the first names and last initials.
Beyond cosmetic changes—including displaying photos inside of circles rather than boxes, and cleaning up the layout of contact pages—a few new features have been added to the Contacts app, which can still be accessed through its own Home Screen icon, or within the Contacts tab in Phone. The ability to link contacts has been added, which will merge the data between two entries. In its current state, it doesn't delete either entry, but that will likely change.
When adding a number as a Favorite, FaceTime Audio has been added as an option. Users can now also choose to block contacts, which will prevent phone calls, messages, and FaceTime calls from coming through. Currently, this option isn't showing up on the iPod touch.
iOS 7 on iPad: Debuted in iOS 7 Beta 2 (June 24, 2013)
Apple's release of iOS 7 for the iPad and iPad mini shows few changes, most of which are just taking advantage of added tablet screen real estate. FaceTime, for example, continues to use menus that only take up part of the screen, with the rest displaying video captured from the camera.
The same is true for Messages and Contacts. Each continues to use a list view on left, with the actual content taking up the bulk of the screen. Fonts, icons, and other elements remain basically the same as they looked on iOS 6, though there's somewhat of an unfinished look to some of the dialog bubbles. We'd expect that Apple will fine-tune these apps in the lead-up to iOS 7's release in Fall.

It seems that after the update, it won't delete my contacts when I ask it. to. Some contacts never show up with the Delete button at the bottom after hitting "Edit". Other contacts have the Delete button, and it seems to work when hitting it. However, once I return to my contacts, the contact I tried to delete invariably is still there.
Posted by Fredrik Roaldset on November 13, 2013 at 7:39 AM (CST)
Please does someone know how to block making changes to "Contacts". I used to be able to lock them down on ipad 4, but now that I got the iPad Air, I can't lock them.
The reason I need to do this is because I need to give the iPad Air to a kid. And on iPad 4, she was only able to contact family members through iMessage. The ability to add, edit or remove a contact was disabled.
But now the "Don't Allow Changes" for the "Accounts" option in Gneral > Restrictions > doesn't work anymore. Weird thing is, it doesn't even work for my iPhone 4S either. I rang Apple and the lady used her iPhone 5 and it doesn't work there either.
However, the description for this option in the settings there clearly says:
"Disallowing changes prevents adding, removing, or modifying accounts in Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
So why is this option suddenly not working across all devices to block changes to Contacts?
I was not using any third party app on iPad 4 and neither am I using one now.

Symantec is promising to offer mobile devices the same level of security as its integrated products now offer PCs.
The news of the vendor's new Symantec Mobile Security Suite 5.0 is being welcomed by the tech press as more evidence that businesses are getting more serious about all that vital data that lives on smartphones.
We'd add that in some ways, the news also points to a broader diversity in the mobile platform space: the new product line will offer the same functionality for Windows Mobile and the dominant Symbian platform. Previously, Symantec offered only virus protection for Windows Mobile, but more advanced firewall services for Symbian.
The new security suite -- which will also be released under the company's Norton's consumer brand -- will feature data encryption, VPN and remote shutdown, in case a smartphone goes missing.

The future looks good for Sri Lanka. In May 2009 government forces seized the last area controlled by Tamil Tiger forces, bringing to an end more than 25 years of violence. In 2011 the country's GDP grew by 8.3%, making it one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
The PR industry is growing too. Imal Fonseka, MD of CBL Foods (CBL), the country's largest food manufacturing company, says: "More and more marketers are recognising the value that can be gained by including PR within the marketing mix."
He continues with an example: "Our brand Kumarica is Sri Lanka's number one herbal hair oil, and when it ventured into the hairwash and facewash market, the launch was preceded by an educational campaign on print and electronic media. We carefully customised our messages and approaches to the readership and the viewership of each publication or channel."
Sri Lanka has a vibrant media. The most read title is the Daily Mirror from Wijaya Publications and other tier one print titles are those from Government-owned publisher Lake House Publications such as Ceylon Daily News, Dinamina, and Thinakaran, as well as The Daily Island from Upali Newspapers.
There are many magazines including Lanka Monthly Digest, a monthly business/lifestyle magazine, Living, a bi-monthly women's lifestyle title, and Business Today, a monthly business magazine that includes content from the Harvard Business
Review. The Lanka Business Report is a new and fast-growing business title.
When it comes to broadcast, the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation is the state broadcaster, and other important players are The Maharaja Group, ITN, Colombo Communications, and ABC Networks. ETV covers technology in some depth, and State of Business on ART TV is notable for being right up to date with its business coverage.
"Facebook seems to be a fashionable tool," says Fonseka at CBL. "However talking to a
few brand custodians, I wonder if they realise that a 'like' is not necessarily a desired consumer response, rather just a confirmation of viewership. Sustainable engagement is more important. Yet the trend is quite positive, and brand owners do seem to realise the benefits of using a wide range of communications tools to influence their target audience."
Telcos such as Sri Lanka Telecom Mobitel, Etisalat, Dialog Axiata, Bharti Airtel Lanka are all important in Sri Lanka, as is software behemoth Microsoft. Multinationals such as Unilever and Nestle have a strong presence, but local brands such as bakers Perera & Sons and conglomerate John Keells Holdings have also gained impressive media coverage in recent months.
For many brands in Sri Lanka, a public demonstration of corporate social responsibility remains one of the best ways to gain positive column inches, and this is increasingly as true of local brands as it is of multinational ones. For example, Akeel Latiff, Marketing Manager at Sri Lanka's largest fashion retailer NOLIMIT, says: "We use CSR when we can't advertise."
He continues: "We recently refurbished the university obstretic unit at the De Soysa Hospital in Colombo and invited reporters to the grand opening. The campaign has gained seven times the exposure we would have got by spending the same amount on press ads. Not only that, it has also given us the endorsement of a wide range of journalists."
Strategic Alliance PR, is the leading agency in Sri Lanka, and is Burson-Marsteller's affiliate in the country. Text100 affiliate HardTALK is another major player that has enjoyed good success in recent months.
Ogilvy PR has an office in Colombo, Grant PR is affiliated to advertising group McCann Erickson, and ARC to advertising group Leo Burnett.

Wells Fargo stock getting ready to roll
The lender is well-positioned to be the best repository of homes when people realize that mortgage rates are done dropping and the scramble for housing begins.
If Wells Fargo (WFC) takes out $29, you know what? It will be ready to roll. And I think you want to be there. Here's why.
The reportorial coverage on homes, as I have told you again and again, is very weak. Those of us who follow this industry closely and are involved in real estate are relatively amazed that the reporting is bad.
It hadn't mattered much. The stocks connected with housing had done nothing at all. Until now.
Last week we saw a big move in Home Depot (HD) and Lowe's (LOW). I think that's the beginning of something, as they have often signaled a potential move in homes. And we got the record pending home sales numbers that bearish investors completely ignored in a way that was almost pathological, if you ask me. I would have fired some people over this stuff in the old days when I had that capability.
So if pending home sales are going up and my two favorite indicators -- HD and LOW -- are turning up, it is time to figure out who owns the most unencumbered homes, the ones with the most documentation, the ones that are free to trade.
It sure isn't the homebuilders. Outfits like Pulte (PHM) and D.R. Horton (DHI) have really scaled back. Lennar (LEN) is busy buying distressed real estate.
It isn't most of the banks. As much as I like Bank of America (BAC) and JPMorgan (JPM) for their value and excellence, respectively, the winner in this case is Wells Fargo.
Bank of America owns Countrywide, which we know is a first-class disaster. JPMorgan bought Washington Mutual, and the people at WaMu were idiots. I am being nice to say that, because it means they shouldn't be prosecuted. They were just stupid.
Citigroup (C) is not levered to mortgages. It is more levered to international business.
That leaves Wells Fargo. While the underwriting standards dropped at every bank, WFC at least (1) is acknowledged as having done the fewest no-documentation loans and (2) has a legacy portfolio from Wachovia/Golden West that, while done with terrible terms (pick no pay, ha!), is worth a great deal if housing prices come back up.
In other words, WFC is the repository of homes for when the scramble to buy homes begins. WFC is already the most aggressive lender. It has taken advantage of its newfound market share to aggressively expand its markets. That means it has the inventory and the underwriting capacity to really go to work when the public realizes that rates are done going down.
Throughout this period we've had to hear endless chatter about the homebuying credit and how that stole new-home sales. The numbers last week are saying that might no longer be true. More important, the low rates haven't meant much, because "everyone" knows rates are going lower.
I believe when they stop going down you are going to see a rush from the sidelines, emboldened by people who have made money in the stock market and feel better about the tax code certainty that is about to occur.
All of this cuts to wanting to have as many houses under your command as you can.
That's Wells Fargo.
Later in the day I will try to come up with a good call strategy on RealMoney.com to take advantage of this scenario. But I feel it is time.
I haven't liked this stock much, given the hatred the market has for the banks. But this unencumbered portfolio of homes and whole loans owned by WFC that were not purchased is about to go from a liability to a positive.
And it is going to happen very fast.

JP M Chase for their value and excellence...
JP Chase is about to lose a major block of customers they BRIBED with $100 to sign up now that they are cancelling the FREE part of their checking accounts!
All checking accounts go to $12/mo unless you want to turn over E Deposits to them.
When they were WAMU I never really trusted them. Having had issues with CHASE in the past, I still wont trust them.
I guess I will start doing without a local bankup bank and stick to my credit union 100% now out of state.
Warning Dont Mortgage your Home with Wells fargo! They told the Appraiser to undercut my real Property Value by over half! then in thier records they had the real value of $479K while only showing $258K so my loan was 82% brackett. causing the payments to be more than double and refused to give me insurance to save my family home of over 14 years with 22 acres on Hwy 99 frontage 3084 sq ft. River views beautiful. they robbed me and my family. they recieved over half thier money back in penalties in 4 yrs then took it after making us sell every piece of land we had to save it. Wells Fargo Cheated me n my children. then 8 days after they got the 25 billion dollar bailout which was supposed to be for the little man, they sold my house! So Be warned It COULD HAPPEN TO YOU TOO! IF YOU CHOOSE WELLS FARGO AS YOUR LENDER! TRUE STORY
All the banks (C, BAC, GS, JPM, WFC, etc.) are in deep dodo because they perpetuated the housing fraud on all of us. The only thing they're good for is storing spare change at 0% interest and electronic bill payment. The FED is trying to get all of us to bail them (Banks and FED) out of their big scam. Don't do it. If anything short the banks.

Two oil country tubular goods (OCTG) producers have claimed that the U.S. Commerce Department's International Trade Administration (ITA) made errors in its final anti-dumping and countervailing trade case decisions.
The Canada Border Services Agency has initiated a subsidy investigation into oil country tubular goods (OCTG) from India, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Thailand, Turkey, Ukraine and Vietnam, as well as an anti-dumping case against those eight countries and Taiwan.
U.S. raw steel output totaled an estimated 1,893,000 net tons last week, down 0.5 percent from 1,903,000 tons the previous week, as mills operated at an average capacity utilization rate of 78.7 percent.
Steel Dynamics Inc.'s (SDI's) profits skyrocketed in the second quarter, with the company remaining bullish for the second half of the year.
Arch Coal Inc. is idling its Cumberland River Coal Co. complex in Wise County, Va., and Letcher County, Ky.
OAO Severstal's sale of its North American assets to Steel Dynamics Inc. (SDI) and AK Steel Corp. could hurt several scrap brokerage businesses, according to market participants.
The sale of OAO Severstal's U.S. mills to Steel Dynamics Inc. (SDI) and AK Steel Corp. means further consolidation of the domestic market and could lead to more-disciplined pricing, market sources said.
AK Steel Corp. expects its planned $700-million acquisition of OAO Severstal's Dearborn, Mich., mill to be accretive to earnings and the firm's credit line, according to its top executive.
Steel Dynamics Inc.'s (SDI's) $1.63-billion deal for OAO Severstal's Columbus, Miss., mini-mill is "considerably below the cost and time frame of starting up a comparable greenfield facility," president and chief executive officer Mark D. Millett said.
Russian steelmaker OAO Severstal has agreed to sell its North American assets to Steel Dynamics Inc. (SDI) and AK Steel Corp. for a combined $2.33 billion, leaving the U.S. market after a decade establishing itself as an important domestic player.
North American Stainless Inc. (NAS) is not expected to follow stainless steel base price increases slated for August by Allegheny Technologies Inc. (ATI), according to market sources.
The number of drill rigs running in the United States fell by four last week.

Essar Steel Algoma Inc. will team with China's Sinosteel Corp. to conduct through-wall repairs on one of its coke oven batteries, according to the company's website.
Essar Steel Algoma Inc. retained McKinsey & Co. in June as it looked to restructure roughly a month before filing for Chapter 15 bankruptcy court protection, according to a company letter obtained by AMM.
The domestic grain-oriented electrical steel industry praised the affirmative final ruling in an anti-dumping investigation of imports from three countries, but analysts warned that shifting end markets and continuing import penetration have dimmed the long-term outlook.
Flat-rolled steel prices may have hit bottom on the West Coast as buyers speculate on the possibility of trade cases and price increases.
Essar Steel Algoma Inc. customers said it was too early to judge the impact of the company's Chapter 15 bankruptcy court petition on their operations as the steelmaker has had only a limited presence in the spot market this year.
Activist hedge fund Casablanca Capital LP has rejected a compromise recommended by independent proxy advisor Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (ISS) ahead of iron ore miner Cliffs Natural Resources Inc.'s annual meeting July 29.
Wire rod price increases by major domestic mills could stick for August and beyond, although market participants are uncertain about whether the market will bear the higher tags indefinitely.
The implementation of a prospective anti-dumping duty system would lead to "abuse on a massive scale," a top Nucor Corp. executive said in testimony before a U.S. Senate Committee on Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security.
Bri-Chem Corp. has sold its steel pipe manufacturing and distribution business to a U.S.-based steel company.
Evraz Inc. North America's steel output fell 2 percent in the second quarter compared with the first three months of the year, but production is expected to pick up in the third quarter on strong demand and fewer outages.
The U.S. Commerce Department's International Trade Administration has assessed final anti-dumping duty margins ranging from 78.1 to 241.91 percent on imports of grain-oriented electrical steel (GOES) from Germany, Japan and Poland.
Are you stocking more inventory today than 18 months ago?
We recognize that it takes time to learn to make good, quality steel. And we're not underestimating the need to do that and do it right.

Two No. 1 seeds to face each other with a spot in Thursday's title game on the line.
NEW YORK, NY – The University of Alabama men's basketball team continues its postseason run on Tuesday evening when it faces Colorado in the semifinals of the National Invitation Tournament at Madison Square Garden. The Crimson Tide and Buffaloes are scheduled to tipoff at 8 p.m. CDT on ESPN2 with the Crimson Tide Sports Network providing the call on its radio affiliates.
The Crimson Tide is making its sixth trip to the NIT Final Four in fabled Madison Square Garden and has advanced to the title game once, during its last trip in 2001.This year's edition of the Tide advanced to New York City by virtue of home wins against Coastal Carolina, New Mexico and Miami to build up a 24-11 record this season.
"It's one of the greatest atmospheres in college basketball to be able to play in the Garden," UA head coach Anthony Grant said. "Our guys are excited about the opportunity to play in the Garden and what's at stake – a chance to play for a championship. When you look at the history and the great players and great teams in the NIT, to have the opportunity to compete for a championship – I'm excited about it and I know our guys are as well."
Fellow No. 1 seed Colorado travels to New York with an offense that ranks in 11th in the nation in scoring at 80.1 points per game with Alec Burks averaging 20.5 points per game to rank 18th nationally in scoring. He is also one of just four players in the nation to average more than 20 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.5 assist per game.
"They're very explosive and over the course of the season they averaged about 80 points a game and have some very explosive scorers," Grant said of the Tide's next opponent. "Our goal will be to try and get as prepared as we can and understand what we need to do from a defensive standpoint to have success and then offensively, attack their defenses. For us it will be the same as it has been all year.
Colorado racked up wins over Texas Southern, California and Kent State to amass a 24-13 overall record heading into Tuesday's game. Its high-octane offense will face a defense that has been equally successful as the Tide has limited opponents to 59.2 points per game, the eighth lowest average in nation.
That defense averages 9.4 steals per game with five players ranking in the top 10 in steals in the Southeastern Conference this season. Offensively, the Tide has been led by freshman Trevor Releford in the postseason with 18 points per game after scoring a career-high 22 points in the win over Miami.
The winner of Tuesday's game will face either Wichita State or Washington State in the championship game on March 31.

Does Divorce Law Matter?
AbstractIn this paper we derive an explicit model of negotiations between spouses when utility is (partially) transferable only in case of separation. We show that inefficient separation may occur in equilibrium even under consensual divorce law.

An Arizona judge denied a legal challenge against the recall election of state Sen. Russell Pearce (R), who authored Arizona's extreme immigration measure, SB 1070. Pearce's argued that many of the 10,365 certified signatures did not meet the requirements. Only 7,756 were required. He also said he will appeal the ruling to the Arizona Supreme Court, but if the appeal fails, Arizona will have its first recall election of a state lawmaker on Nov. 8.

UFC Light heavyweight champ Jon "Bones" Jones believes in his skills while challenger Alexander Gustafsson is confident he can walk away with the belt around his waist. Also, interim bantamweight championship between Renan Barao and Eddie Wineland.
lol bones thinks he has KO power
^ Jones would wreck your entire family in under one minute.
Jones catches some hate, but the guy's seriously got a champion's mentality. Yes, he's an incredible athlete, but seeing him work his way out of Vitor's tight armbar, not notice his broken toe against Chael, and WANT to fight a guy like Gustafsson (who negates Jones's physical advantages) really shows his mental strenth and champion's heart. Those qualities are as useful to him as his freaky athleticism.
Jones haters are a sad bunch.. no matter what they say Jon just keeps winning.
And new ufc light heavyweight champion of the world "Alexander Gustafsson!" Just doesn't sound right, not buying it Jones ftw

What's Cooking This Weekend?
Weekend of October 25-26
What's cooking? More to the point, what are you planning on eating this weekend? We hope you're staying in for at least one meal. We currently have a butternut squash in the oven, and we're plotting towards pasta, basil, Parmesan, and a creamy squash sauce. We also really want to recreate the smoked tomato salad dressing we had at a restaurant last week.
Read on for a few more ideas (and recipes) for good things to cook this weekend.
Try these!
• Chickpea stew with vegetables and curry spices - made easily in the slow cooker.
• Sweet, scarlet syrup for your cocktails - made from pomegranates.
• Dark molasses and ginger cake - with chunks of ripe pear.
• Brisket, onions, lemon chicken, and apricot oatmeal - more ideas for your slow cooker.
• Chopped cabbage salad with handfuls of herbs - plus peanuts, tofu, and rice noodles.
• Wilted arugula with tomatoes and orzo - a quick dinner!
• Pears and blue cheese - now in dessert.
• Cheap good wine for your weekend meals.
• Have a little extra time? Cook ahead and freeze some of these easy meals.
• Prune plums and pastry - an open pie.
Have a good weekend - see you Monday!

My electric stove died last night, so looks like no cooking over the weekend. No bread baking or canning, either. It's just awful.
We'll be enjoying the last fresh veggies from our summer CSA, which ends next week: Brussels sprouts, kombucha and butternut squash, kohlrabi... I'll probably also make a pot roast and plum cake.
Last weekend I made macaroni with delicata squash, gruyere & emmenthaler cheese, and spinach and it was so delicious - I wonder what something similar would be like with the kombuchas.
Tilapia with carrots and broccoli tonight. Tomorrow is special - our first homemade pizza on my new pizza stone! Can't wait!.
I have a loaf of no-knead bread in the oven right now, and I'm contemplating starting another--seems like fresh bread is gobbled up within a few hours of coming out of the oven.
Pot roast sounds delicious for a cozy Saturday dinner.
Well, Northern California is "enjoying" its last burst of warm weather so hubby, 8 mos old and I are heading up to Lake Tahoe to get a dose of fall and cooler temps. As such, it will be fondue and sparkling wine tomorrow night.
Sourdough bread tomorrow; lamb and quince tagine for Sunday dinner.
already made pizza last night, does friday night count? and going to make some grit (or polenta) this morning for breakfast!
Bx, just ask for a pie pumpkin, the little ones. They should be easy to find. I made my own puree a couple of weeks ago, and it is super, super easy - definitely worth it!
don't get very small pumpkins, which are bitter. the good pie pumpkins are ~ 5 to 8" in diameter. and i second little_melly, very easy to puree and worth it.
Butterbeans, green beans, okra, tomatoes, squash, peppers, potatoes, eggplant from the farmer's market. End of the growing season, get ready for frost dinner. Going to shake down my last pears and make that crostini for Sunday brunch.
The boyfriend made an awesome flank steak with mustard and tomatoes last night to go along with some leftover lemon barley "risotto" and some carrots with butter and lots of black pepper. I'm going to try to make some gingerbread this afternoon and thinking about trying out that recipe I saw on here a while ago for shrimp with feta and tomatoes. But I'd have to get some feta to do that.
Just made a New England fish chowder. Yummy!
Talapia fillet and cilantro
yellow pepper and tofu soup
scallops wrapped in bacon
I made Laurie Colwin's curried broccoli soup recipe with a few sweet potatoes left over from my CSA. The taste was delicious - the perfect hot soup for a chilly night - but the consistency was off. Too watery. I think I should've used more yogurt to make it thicker. But I will try this one again, especially with winter almost here.

15 things Apple could buy with its $137B cash reserve
Summary: Apple has $137.1 billion in cash, but more than two-thirds of it remains off-shore and outside of the U.S. taxman's reach. What could Apple spend all that cash on? We've got some suggestions.
7 of 16Image
Help out the U.S. military's defense budget
The U.S. government has allocated between $1.03 and $1.41 trillion in defense spending during 2012. That's quite a bit more than what Apple has in the bank.
The U.S. defense budget shows that $54.6 billion will go on veterans' pensions for 2012. Assuming that it stays the same for subsequent years -- it won't, but let's say it does -- Apple could pay for these pensions for a good two-and-a-half years before it runs out of cash at today's rate.
Buy Morocco, Cuba, or a small European country
The problem Apple has is that most of its cash offshore—68 percent, to be specific—and out of the U.S. taxman's hands. It can't repatriate its cash or the company will face massive tax bills.
One of the best solutions for Apple is to buy a small country—based on gross domestic product (GDP)—so it can bring in its cash from all corners of the world at a zero-percent tax rate.
Apple could buy country with a GDP of less than $137.1 billion, at least in theory (not including costs to build an iArmy to invade the place). It could make a bid for Morocco, Cuba, or even Luxembourg—a known tax haven—or a small European country like Latvia, and still have some cash left over to give everyone in the country an iPhone.
Buy a private island
Private islands don't actually cost that much anymore. Any medium-level multi-millionaire could probably snap up one for just a fraction of their overall worth. Actually making the place habitable, however, is something else, let alone turning the island from "Lost" into a popular tourist destination for morally bankrupt folk who seek a place in the purgatoric sun.
According to one private island broker, the average going price for a private island in the Caribbean appears to be in the region of $3.5 million to about $47 million, give or take ten million or so.
Or, if you look at the country's gross domestic product (GDP), Apple could buy the Cook Islands (get it? Tim Cook… oh, forget it) for a meager $183.2 million.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Despite the fact they weren't as difficult as BC instances and despite the fact we blew through them ad-nausea for the last chunk of the expansion, I really did like most Wrath dungeons, including Oculus.
The first couple times I ran Nexus I was blown away, the platforms over the rift was my favorite. I loved the Scourge vs Troll vs Us adventures in DTK, and AN/OK stand out as some of my favorite places aesthetically, and I wish we had seen more of the Nerubian underworld. I thought the new CoT instance was a brilliant idea, and I thought the VH gauntlet, defend the target kind of thing was also cool, if not a little poorly executed. I can't think of one I genuinely disliked, save for maybe UK, just cause it wasn't as cool as UP.
Of course my love for these places is watered down by crappy DF pugs and aoe-fests, but I remember enjoying them a great deal in those first couple patches.
While running through Cata dungeons I've noticed a lot more mechanics that are a little less zerg/overgear-proof, and I think if Blizz had foreseen we'd be running Wrath heroics in tier 10 they would have put in some more of those as well. That being said, I'm trying to squeeze every bit of enjoyment out of Cata instances now (the only one I don't like being Grim Batol /shakefist), because I know in a year we'll be overgearing and sick and tired of them like we did in Wrath.

Some of best epic stories which we have studied during our childhood in the history books and a lot we have heard from our granny and grandpa. These stories are still around us in some different format.
Holy books Ramayana and Mahabharata are some the best written stories in the world. Some says its real and some says it's totally mythology. Let's not go into the discussion about the reality of their existence or maybe we are not supposed to. However, the essence of these stories is much deeper and very helpful to many of us.
Ram's character of being "maryaada purushottama" - supreme glory of mankind, whereas on the other side the supreme politician Krishna's Character are truly create affection in you to read more about the situation they were passed through and the life they have lived. These mythological stories are vast source of lessons if you understand comprehensively and relate them with the current situation of our life and corporate culture.
As a part of my reading material, I used to read "management mythos" in Corporate Dossier supplement of Economic times on every Friday. They have these mythological stories and relate them with the office environment, corporate culture and even our life's principals. They are worth reading and we all should imbibe them in our life.
These days, i am not able to catch-up with ET paper, so found the e-link of the "Management Mythos" author "Devdutt Pattanaik". He is great mythologist and his articles are available here.

WINFIELD, Ill., January 2, 2007 — Central DuPage Hospital is proud to announce its affiliated agencies Community Alliance (Aurora) and CNS Home Health & Hospice (Carol Stream) have been included in the 2006 HomeCare Elite, the inaugural compilation of the most successful home care providers in the United States.

HALE CENTER (KCBD) - A Hale Center man is hoping for the same miracle that has come to Olympic bobsledder Steve Holcomb.
Holcomb said later that even in Montreal, he knew his vision was going rapidly because of a rare degenerative eye disease called keratoconus where, for some reason, the cornea starts to push out - a problem that leads to blindness.
Now, a Hale Center father of three, Isaac Sandoval, is facing the same diagnosis. The only cure is a new surgery in Los Angeles that saved Holcomb's eyes, but Isaac's insurance considers it experimental and won't cover the procedure.
So, Hale Center is throwing a barbecue fundraiser this weekend to raise the $15,000 Isaac needs for that eye-saving surgery. Family, friends and businesses in the area are coming together to provide the bbq dinner this Saturday evening from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Akin Elementary School in Hale Center. The cost is just $6 a person.

Lilly walked into the tea-house slowly, being careful not to bump into anyone as the sound of her cane tapping against the floor echoed through out the room. Judging by the way the sound echoed, and the lack of other noises… It did seem as if the place was almost entirely empty. There was the occasional clink of china being set down, yes, but nothing that indicated a particularly large amount of people.
So it was that Lilly spoke to the person working the entrance, so that they would lead her to a table that she might sit at. This was bound to be a fairly relaxing day, in this new city… Or so she thought.
[ It was out of luck that Hanako found this tea house lodged in one of the calmest sectors. After the library, this is definitely her second favourite place. She could move back and forth from both buildings and spend the rest of her whole life in there if she so wished, away from the danger, away from these so called 'experiments', and with the only hope she can go back home as soon as possible.
Thoughts jumbling in her mind, the purple haired girl sits at a lonely corner of the room, and takes a sip of her lukewarm tea, which she left to cool a little too much because of getting lost in her own mind. If only her best friend was here, she would have been reminded of such detail, but as things are now, neither Lilly, nor Hisao, nor her schoolmates have been found.
Raising her eyes to look at her surroundings, afraid that someone would approach her all of a sudden… she spots something that nearly makes her drop the cup. ]
"L… Lil… Lilly?!"
[ She harshly puts the cup down, spilling some content over the tablecloth and her own hand, but she doesn't notice as she abruptly stands up. Her only fixation is towards that one spot where her blonde haired friend is walking. Right then it doesn't matter if people are going to hear her, judge her, yell at her. She has to scream that name, and she will, proceeding with big steps towards that girl she loves so much. ]
"Lilly! Lilly!!! Lilly!!!"
[ Hanako honest doesn't know what to feel, except that she needs to hold those hands, her precious friend's hands, as if what she's seen wasn't just an illusion. ]

Do you like needle crafts? We do too! We've started a Knit & Stitch group here at Red Bridge on Tuesday evenings at 5:30 p.m. Our first two meetings were a rousing success.

Summer is winding down, and although we can't feel the chill in the air yet, it'll be here before we know it. After an entire season of outdoor fun, are you ready to curl up on the couch and get crafty? There's nothing quite like sitting by the fire with a quilt or afghan project on your lap.
It's a sad fact that over 50% of marriages in the United States today end in divorce. Here at the Library, we get many requests for resources for families going through this process.
On Monday, July 16, 2013, the Riverside Branch is offering Preparing for Divorce, a program for anyone looking for more information on this topic.

Let's say you have a friend, we'll call her Jayne Deaux. Jayne started her genealogy research a few years ago, and spent hours upon hours upon hours researching her family. You thought Jayne was crazy! Why spend so much time looking backward? But the more Jayne talked about her findings and the little clues she followed, the more you thought, "Mmm, this is like all those mystery novels I read." Still, you dug your feet in the ground and refused to become one of those people.
Each month the Lee's Summit Branch Photography Forum picks a theme, and the members go out and take pictures of that theme. The theme for July was downtown Lee's Summit. I am so excited to share with everybody the pictures that were taken. We have selected a dozen photos to display in the Library. Come check them out on the far wall opposite the front doors.
Are you interested in starting your own business? Have a great idea, but don't know how to move forward? Or, are you on your way, but just need a little help with your next step? MCPL may be able to help you out! In addition to all of the great Online Resources we have for small businesses, we are now offering free classes at several of our branch locations:
During WWII and even the Korean War, Hollywood produced films that doubled as pure support-the-war propaganda. Not so for the Vietnam War, filmmakers took an increasingly dim and damning view of this overseas conflict that proved so fractious for so long. But even the most cynical films focused on the Vietnam War offer important stories, and even these present moments of heroism and valor.
I love old things, antique things, and ancient things. When I walk through my favorite antique store I'm often heard saying, "I wonder who held this before me." I'm in awe when I pick up a hundred year old book and try to feel all the other souls who touched it. I find that history and its individuals with fantastic stories fill me with joy and wonder at times past. And so often am I looking back, that sometimes I miss today.
If you are a regular reader of the Riverside Branch's blog, you may realize that I am the foodaholic. I check out almost every new cookbook that MCPL purchases. I've also recommended a few of my favorites in a previous blog. Did you have a chance to read them? Which recipes did you make?

The staff members at Lake View school are committed to meeting the needs of each of our students. We have wonderful, supportive families that are dedicated to working together with the Lake View staff to achieve a positive and successful elementary environment. We continue to build a strong educational foundation for our students through our focus on positive behavior and rigorous, differentiated curriculum. I hope to enjoy many more years of service within the Lake View community!
Hardworking families and committed learners and dedicated, creative teachers.
This school Is great. How would I know maybe I know because I go to school there. I spend 180 day in school. It may not be the 'most challiging school' but the people are so nice. The techers are friendly and smart. Mrs.Sweeny the principal plays 4 sqare at rescess with all the kids. Lake View is the only elementry school that has Swing Chioir. This school is the best!
Madison Metropolitan School Distrist and Lake View Elementary School have lost the ideal of what an elementary education should be, the three R's. This school puts so much emphasis on being politically correct, making sure no child is left behind and in general, turning the place into a Mister Rodger's Neighborhood. My daughter is in the fourth grade and still counts on her fingers to do simple arithmetic operations. Her writing is seldom edited by her teacher, there is so little homework, it's difficult to know in what direction learning is taking place, much less any progress. In spite of what I consider a categorically poor education, she get's stellar reports. Standard is too low. Too much time is spent on fluffy activities like Weird and Wacky Day, the Talent Show, Swing Choir, Pajama Day, Popcorn Day, Donut Day, Bring Your Pet to School Day, Halloween party... Anything but a serious encounter with academics. The school budget for Madison is $308 million for one year. There are 25,000 students, so that's over $12,000 per student per year, and the school board is crying for more money in a referendum. One of the board members says the schools are on the brink of destruction!!! On top of this, permission slips are being sent home to go on this outing, or this field trip, or ... At the bottom, the schools have their hands out for $5.00 here, $3.00 there, $25.00 now. Throwing more money at the schools will not solve the problem. Get back to basics, Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. Please.

Part of Lesson Plan: Sequencing a Scene
Activity Overview / Details
Review the following terms :
Animation: A series of still images shown to
create an illusion of motion.
Shot: A continuous view from one camera.
Sequence: A series of shots.
Scene: The location / the set.
Four Main Areas within Animation
1. Modeling: creation of the models
2. Materials: creation and application of materials
3. Lighting: placement of lights and cameras
4. Animation: creating an illusion of motion
Setting up A Scene
In this exercise you will be setting up a scene with multiple objects; planning a sequence around the interaction within the scene; setting up individual shots; and rendering and combining the shots into a final sequence.
Modeling- Most of the models are already created for you. Make sure to do the following:
- Create one to three of your own models (Number depends on the complexity.)
- Position all models
- Check the models to make sure the axes are set correctly for the motion you are planning
Create appropriate materials for your models
Modify materials of given models, if desired.
Use three point lighting system provided
Add filler lights, to individual shots, as needed
Save shots individually
Set up animation
Render / Batch render
Notes and Hints:
- Plan your shots carefully; Close-ups with dramatic lighting and shadows add interest and depth.
- Cameras can move ANYWHERE! to help tell your story.
- You can still have TOO much camera motion; make sure it has a purpose.
- Consider using 'match action' edits as you would in video.
Teacher Directions:
As students are setting up their shots, walk around and help them as necessary.
Materials / Resources
- Assignment [ Download ] Assignment sheet in PDF format.
- Setting Up Shots [ View Flash ] [ Download ] This is a tutorial using MAXON Cinema 4D to setup and render shots.

Authorities say a Benton, Kentucky man is facing drug related charges after a hit and run crash.
Zenon Rodriguez was charged with trafficking in controlled substance first degree, first offense greater than 10 dosage units of opiates and possession of drug paraphernalia.
According to the Marshall County Sheriff's Office, on Wednesday, June 19, 2014, detectives with the sheriff's office assisted the Benton Police Department in an investigation of a hit-and-run.
The hit and run happened on June 17 on 5th Street in Benton, Kentucky.
Narcotics detectives say they had been investigating the suspect in illegal drug trafficking for a number of months.
Detectives then contacted Kentucky probation and parole to assist in the investigation.
Detectives went to the home of Zenon Rodriguez in the 300 block of Lone Valley Road.
The police department took Rodriguez into custody. He's accused of leaving the scene of an accident and several other charges.
Detectives say they found more than 60 methadone pills and Xanax pills along with $1600 hidden inside Rodriguez's bedroom. Detectives say they also found several suspected stolen power tools which have been traded to Rodriguez for drugs.
Detectives are still investigating additional suspects involved with Rodriguez's drug trafficking.

Melissa Davison
A typical CrossFit class
Melissa Davison was walking home when she stumbled upon a CrossFit facility. She signed up for a free week's worth of classes, and found why there are some people so wholly devoted to the workout.
Often I learn about new workouts through magazines, fitness websites or blogs. It's not often I literally walk into a workout by accident. But that's how I discovered CrossFit.
I was walking down my block one day and stumbled upon a bunch of sweaty, superfit-looking people hanging out in a large garage equipped with mats, gymnastics rings, jump ropes and weights. When I got back to my apartment, I looked out the window and saw the same group sprinting out the front of the building and around the block.
After a bit of Googling, I discovered what I was witnessing was a workout called CrossFit, which is described as a strength and conditioning workout focused on 10 areas: cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy. I was seriously intrigued, and decided to sign up for a free week.
Walking into my first class, I quickly noticed I was the only girl in the room. Gulp. Before I had time to consider leaving, though, the CrossFit owner and instructor quickly came over and gave me a rundown of what I was to expect during the next hour: warm up, skill work, workout and stretching.
Warm up
We started out with arm and hip circles followed by pushups, sit ups, inch worms, walking lunges and squats across the mat. Contrary to my vision of a typical boot camp leader, my instructor turned out to be a very nice guy who focused on correcting form. By the last set of pushups I was on my knees, which was okay as long as my nose touched the ground.
Skill work
Once the warm up was out of the way, it was time to get the real workout started. The strength work began with kettlebells, which are basically huge ball weights with a triangular shaped handle. Lifting and swinging these things around was definitely a challenge, but I managed to make it through.
The main workout was a 20-minute segment that combined cardio and strength -- and the 20-minute limit is strict. We did a series of double jump-ropes, then did five sets of sit-ups starting with a set of 50 and then decreasing by 10 until all the sets were done. The winner got the honor of listing their name on the dry-erase board. Seeing those around me starting to finish really gave me the push I needed to ramp up my intensity and focus.
After stretching, I left CrossFit thinking, "That was a workout -- but it didn't kill me." My next class was a different story.
Jump roping and sit ups were one thing, but now we were doing walking lunges holding giant weights over our heads, followed by burpees. By the end of my second CrossFit class, my arms were burning so much even my water bottle felt heavy. I'd brought a friend who was a Marine to the class, and as we walked home, he said, very aptly, "My life hurts."
All in all, I found that CrossFit offers many things that I haven't found in other workout classes:
If you're curious about boot camp workouts, New York City certainly has plenty to choose from, and CrossFit is a great option. It's a challenging workout, the instructors are well-trained and defy the drill sergeant stereotypes you might expect, and you can always looking forward to something new.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
No, I don't mean over people, but over the system.
1. I love the idea of getting rep for deposits. Right now, the contributors get no real reward (except a note in the guild website or something, and our gratitude). But with this, it would give a tangible reward. But again, I'd love it if there was a way that it could be better controlled. I don't want people just throwing a bunch of junk that me and my officers have to pick through and vendor. Also, would there be a way to keep people from taking a bunch of stuff out and then putting them back in for rep?
2. Better Guild Control. For example, let's say I would like to have Rank 4 be able to promote to people. Right now, they can promote anyone to Rank 5 (which is right below their rank). I would love it if I could set it so certain ranks can promote only to specified ranks. In this instance, I might say Rank 4 can promote people to Rank 7. OR maybe if you have permission to remove someone, you can only do so up to a specified rank (maybe for example, a Veteran might be able to remove only initiates, but not anyone else). I would also like it if they separated the ability of people to make notes betw. self and others. One permission would give people the ability to write or change notes on their own characters, while another would allow people to change any character notes. While this can be a headache, it would give the GL more ability to delegate.
3. Allow a way to actually create Guild Quests. This might be tied to the deposit reward. This can be done for fun (just to break up the monotony) or as a way to gather materials. Have a way that the people will be automatically rewarded upon completion of the quest.
4. Allow certain functionality for simple things that you now have to put on your Website. It's tough getting people to go to a guild site. But the tools in the game are very limited. How about allowing bulletin boards (maybe next to the Guild Vault) where people (maybe contingent on rank) can list NEEDS or short news? I'd love something more than just the MotD to make a list of announcements. While the automatic news is nice, it doesn't always express everyone's special achievements, such as FINALLY getting the title they've been talking about for months, or that rare hunter pet that various members of the guild helped to tame. Here, we can give news, "gratz," requests, important changes, alerts, etc.
5. Some way to help out the small guilds. While you may having the Feast attached to guild achievements, I hate it. We have a very small guild and I think three of us fish (one of them is a new member). A few fish now and then. At this point, we are still not quite 7000 out of 10,000. At least now that they've put the Deepsea sagefish in schools, the numbers have been going up a bit faster, but until they did, it crawled up at a snail's pace. And fishing isn't something I want to make people do. It's horrible and boring. I have endured it for hours, as has one of my officers, just to try to get the number up. I wish the numbers for something like that was somehow tied to the number of accounts in the guild. For guilds that have over 200 accounts, there are probably more people who don't mind fishing. For the little guys, it's just excruciating.
6. YES to a better recruiting tool. I think it needs to be improved for both the guilds and for people looking for guilds. More customization. Just saying you raid WEEKDAYS is kind of too vague. I'd also like more descriptive words we can check off (Social. Family-Friendly. Progression Raiding). I'd also love a better way to handle Requests. I'd want to set up permissions for certain ranks to be able to take care of requests. When a request is made, their name automatically goes into an alert list. When that person comes on, the people who have permission to handle it will get the alert. Also, the people who's names are on the permission list (as well as the GL) will go into the alert list of the applicant. That way, people can actually get in touch with each other to talk, and perhaps, invite. OR for people who don't care, maybe have an Auto-invite feature (which can be toggled on and off) for people they select. It would also be nice if people could look for a guild based on NAME. Maybe they've seen the guild around for awhile or hear good things about them. Right now, you have to scroll down a long list of guilds in . . . I don't even know what kind of order. It would also be nice to have a separate space for your Guild Website, which can easily be copied so that the person looking it up can easily paste into the url box. (I wish you could just click on it and have it take you there but that's probably not even possible. :P)

Google has repriced the stock options for 15,642 employees (out of about 20,000). All employees were eligible for the program that ended this past Monday.
The reprice stock came in at $308.57. Since Google had been priced at upwards of $747 over a year ago, the repricing option was attractive to many of the search engine's employees.
Other shareholders are not as thrilled as they are stuck with their losses. The repricing could cost Google as much as $400 million in accounting charges.
