Fatigue failure occurs when a material is subjected to repeated loading and unloading cycles. The level of stresses present to cause failure may be well below values considered safe for a single static load application. The critical fatigue initiation is usually at a very localized site and may be a result of additional factors such as stress concentration due to component shape, surface finish or corrosion pitting.
Fatigue has been cited as one of the major causes of in-service failure throughout engineering history. The earliest application of rotating machinery with its attendant cyclic nature produced documented fatigue failures. Textile loom machinery, pumping machinery and above all steam railway operations were beset by a mode of failure that was not understood. The early railway axle failures and mining equipment failures prompted fundamental testing and research. The theories on which much of modern fatigue analysis is based on were developed all through the industrial revolution and into the 1920's.
The advent of more complex structures with more complex loading histories was typified by the introduction of the first jet powered airliners. Sadly new fatigue lessons had to be learned in the period from 1954 as a result of the DH Comet crashes.
The nature and prediction of fatigue is much more understood, and is a requirement for most design products today. However the application of fatigue analysis is not easy and a good background is essential to be able to use the powerful FEA method as a basis for fatigue analysis.
Much of the terminology used in setting up the fatigue problem through a modern GUI is confusing and the choice of options is not always clear.
The objective of this course is to break down the fatigue analysis process into clearly defined steps, give an overview of the physics involved and show how to successfully implement practical solutions using Finite Element Analysis.
All attendees on the course will be able to download a fully functioning Fatigue Life Calculator. As well as forming a useful tool for many of the homework tasks set, attendees will be able to explore the implications of both High Cycle and Low Cycle Fatigue as discussed in the class.
A tutorial guide is also available for download. Basic Material Data and Strain Life Material data is input, or derived from fundamentals. Neuber notch and Plastic material intersection points are found allowing a hysteresis cycle to be plotted. The strain life curve is plotted and the number of cycles to failure is calculated.
The Calculator has been steadily developed over the last few years of delivering this course and attendees will be entitled to future upgrades.
In the current climate travel and training budgets are tight. To help you still meet your training needs the following e-learning course has been developed to complement the live class. The e-learning course runs over a four week period with a single 2.5 hour session per week.
The course is completely code independent. No software is required.
Each topic in the class is treated as a building block and is presented using an overview of the physics and theory involved. The math is kept simple and the emphasis is on practical examples from real life to illustrate the topic. The mapping to Finite Element analysis techniques is shown with numerous workshops. The tutor will be showing analysis results interactively and involving the students in the process via Q and A periods during each session, follow up emails and a Course Bulletin Board
Students are welcome to send in problems from industry and these will be discussed as time permits.
Full notes are provided for the students, together with personal passwords for e-learning backup material, bulletin board access etc.
Students will join the audio portion of the meetings by utilizing the VoIP (i.e. headset connected to the computer via headphone and microphone jacks) or by calling into a standard toll line. If you are interested in additional pricing to call-in using a toll-free line, please send an email to: e-learning @ nafems.org .
This course is aimed at practicing engineers who wish to learn more about how to apply finite element techniques to fatigue analysis in the most effective manner. Ideally a student should have some experience of FEA analysis, but this is not essential. The material that is presented is independent of any particular software package, making it ideally suited to current and potential users of all commercial finite element software systems. This course is a must for all engineers aiming to use FEA as a reliable predictive tool for fatigue analysis.
E-learning classes are ideal for companies with a group of engineers requiring training. E-learning classes can be provided to suit your needs and timescale. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Telephony surcharges may apply for attendees who are located outside of North America, South America and Europe. These surcharges are related to individuals who join the audio portion of the web-meeting by calling in to the provided toll/toll-free teleconferencing lines. We have made a VoIP option available so anyone attending the class can join using a headset (headphones w/ microphone) connected to the computer. There is no associated surcharge to utilize the VoIP (listening through your computer speakers/headphones) option, and is actually encouraged to ensure NAFEMS is able to keep the e-Learning course fees as low as possible. Please send an email to the e-Learning coordinator (e-learning @ nafems.org ) to determine if these surcharges may apply to your specific case.
Just as with a live face-to-face training course, each registration only covers one person. If you plan to register a large group (10+), please send an email to e-learning @ nafems.org in advance for group discounts.

Okay guys, this is the second character from Borderlands 2 that I will upload like I promised. Up next, we will learn "how to draw Maya from Borderlands 2", step by step. One of the things I like about this character design is the tattoos, hairstyle and color, and her bad-ass attitude and personality. I didn't wan this drawing lesson to take you too long to tackle because I know there is a lot of Borderlands fans out there that would appreciate a tutorial that was easy enough for all to tackle. Maya may be a siren, but while she looks like a human she does a great job at being cool. Have fun drawing Maya and I will return in a bit so keep a look out.
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

Microsoft and Toyota will be announcing a "new collaboration between the companies" on Wednesday afternoon, and the involvement of CEOs Steve Ballmer and Akio Toyoda means it's probably something noteworthy.
The scheduling of the news conference is generating speculation that Toyota will be adopting Microsoft's automotive technology platform.
Microsoft already powers the in-car information and entertainment systems for Ford, Hyundai-Kia and Fiat, and its Bing search engine is part of Toyota's existing Entune in-car technology.
But based on some clues I'm picking up, I agree with Business Insider's Matt Rosoff that this could be more along the lines of Toyota boosting its internal use of the Windows Azure cloud computing platform or other Microsoft online services. It could also could be some combination of the two themes, maybe bringing cloud computing to the car.
Check back tomorrow afternoon for the news.

Granderson remains on schedule following surgery
NEW YORK -- Curtis Granderson underwent minor surgery on his fractured left hand on Wednesday, but it won't change his recovery timetable.
Manager Joe Girardi said the Yankees outfielder still has to go through four weeks of inactivity before he can begin rehabbing the injury and get ready to return to the field. Granderson was put on the disabled list with a fracture on the knuckle of his left pinkie finger on Saturday after getting hit by a pitch against the Rays the night before.
"The healing process, the time doesn't change," Girardi said. "In four weeks, he'll start doing rehab."
Granderson has missed 43 of the Yankees' 51 games this season. He sat out the first six weeks of the season after fracturing his right forearm during Spring Training. In eight games with the team, he batted .250 with one home run and one RBI while striking out six times over 28 at-bats.
Granderson is still expected to be sidelined a minimum of four weeks.
"It's basically four weeks of inactivity, then you go from there," Girardi said. "You can't expect him to go four weeks of inactivity and be in a game the next day."

South Sudan: Households in some areas of Unity and Upper Nile states are suspected to be facing Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) food security outcomes. 5–8% of the country's population are suffering severe acute malnutrition.
Snapshot 17–23 June 2015
Yemen: 2.3 million more people are food insecure than in March – the total is now at 12.9 million people. 279 children have been killed and 402 injured in the conflict, out of almost 2,600 total deaths and 11,000 injured. 53 health facilities have been damaged. Peace talks have ended with no agreement.
Snapshot 22-29 July 2014
oPt: 1,067 are reported killed in Gaza since the beginning of Operation Protective Edge. 215,000 people have been displaced, and shelter conditions are a major concern. Damage to critical infrastructure, including the only power station in Gaza and health facilities, is heavily restricting access to basic services. Insecurity is also impeding humanitarian access.
Snapshot 16–22 July
oPT: 583 have been reported killed and over 100,000 displaced since Operation Protective Edge began on 8 July. There are urgent needs for essential drugs, shelter, water, and food assistance in the Gaza Strip, requiring greater humanitarian space.
Snapshot 9–15 July
oPT: 178 Palestinians have been killed since the launch of Israel's Operation Protective Edge on 8 July. Around 17,000 people have sought shelter in UNRWA schools. Rockets from Syria and Lebanon have hit the north of Israel, raising fears of the conflict spreading.
Democratic Republic of Congo: More than 30,000 people are estimated to have been displaced in North Kivu, South Kivu, and Katanga in June, due to FARDC military operations and fighting between armed groups.
Pakistan: Water, sanitation, and health services are urgent needs among the 780,000 registered displaced from North Waziristan (government figures). The data is being cleaned to check for duplication.
Iraq: Access to areas within the governorates of Anbar, Babylon, Diyala, Salah al Din, Kirkuk, and Ninevah remains difficult due to ongoing violence clashes, disruption of communication and transportation routes, and a widespread shortage of fuel.

Trial plaintiff says Johnson & Johnson hips defective, company says not liable
Johnson & Johnson's DePuy unit was well aware of defects in its all-metal hips when plaintiff Loren Kransky was implanted with one of the devices in 2007, lawyers for the 65-year-old man said in closing trial arguments.
The lawsuit filed by the retired Montana prison guard is the first to reach court out of more than 10,000 filed against J&J in the wake of its 2010 recall of the ASR artificial hips.
Kransky attorney Brian Panish told Los Angeles Superior Court jurors that J&J should be ordered to pay around $5 million for Kransky's pain and suffering, and as much as $179 million in punitive damages. The proceedings were monitored over the Courtroom View Network.
J&J recalled 93,000 of its ASR metal hips after determining that they were failing at a higher-than-expected rate.
Kransky's attorneys argued that the design of the hip was defective, leading to the shedding of metal debris that caused tissue poisoning and pain as well as the need for the plaintiff to undergo hip revision surgery.
"Any compensation should not be reduced simply because the plaintiff was more susceptible to injury than a normally healthy person," Panish said.
Both sides in the case agreed that Kransky's medical problems, including diabetes, cancer, kidney disease, heart disease and vascular disease, were not related to the ASR hip implant.
J&J attorney Michael Zellers argued that Kransky's ASR hip was implanted at an incline that was steeper than company guidelines advised. He also said the plaintiff's need for revision surgery was caused by an infection.
Testimony in the trial included DePuy executives explaining that the ASR hip was tested in the laboratory at a single angle of implantation. Plaintiffs' lawyers contend that they should have tested it using multiple angles.
"We know there is no perfect hip design. There are always trade-offs," Zellers said, adding that the company designed the all-metal device with the aim of developing a longer-lasting hip that would show less wear than existing devices.
The J&J attorney argued that there is no medical consensus on what levels of chromium and cobalt, the metals shed by ASR hips, could cause harm to patients.
"Ultimately the product did not perform as DePuy wanted it to perform or expected it to perform," he said.
All-metal hip implants were developed to be more durable than traditional implants with ceramic or plastic components, but have been shown to fail at a higher rate than traditional implants.
Michael Kelly, another Kransky attorney, told jurors the evidence shows that J&J's DePuy unit was primarily focused on making money from the all-metal ASR hips at the expense of patient safety.

So just a few days ago I did a post on Japan's new coffin apartments that are so small, you can't even stand up in them, but rent for $600 a month! Today I ran across another post about Hong Kong's urban density. The United States has a density of 88 people per square mile, while Hong Kong has 16,568 people per square mile!
It shows what an urban dense future could look like and allows us to understand what that would mean, more importantly hopefully perused us to keep an eye on our population growth.
These photos almost have an artistic quality to them, but then your realize people live in these.

It is not the end of the world, if you have a poor credit score. You can still procure a home loan. Financing a home loan on a poor credit rating can get tricky if you don't connect with the right mortgage lender, who has a vast experience of closing subprime loans. Earlier anybody, almost anybody could get a loan sanctioned, but things have changed now. People with low credit qualify for a home loan with higher rates and terms.
Your credit score decides two major aspects—

BT to drag T-Mobile onto 21st Century
Network that is
T-Mobile has dodged a massive investment in telco kit ahead of the launch of mobile TV and other bandwidth sucking services by striking a five year managed network deal with BT.
The deal, worth several hundred million pounds over the five years, will mean BT takes responsibility for connect the mobile firm's base stations to its core network. This will initially be done via leased lines, before the links are shifted to Ethernet.
The network will, no surprise here, be compatible with BT's 21st Century Network, which at some point will break out of its trial comfort zone of Swansea.
T-Mobile said the deal will provide it with a "key stepping stone" towards next generation services, and give it the network capacity to support high bandwidth services such as mobile TV, and music and video downloads.
More importantly, perhaps, it means T-Mobile doesn't have to build its own network, "allowing it to benefit from reduced risk and reductions in capital and operational expenditure."®

The flu season has gotten off to its quickest start in nearly a decade, a sign that it could be a bad year for the illness, officials said on Monday.
Dr. Thomas Frieden, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, urged people to get a flu shot to minimize the impact of the deadly disease's spread.
Speaking to publicize National Influenza Vaccination Week, Frieden said a flu shot was the best tool available to stop the spread of the disease, along with covering your mouth when coughing and washing your hands.
This is the earliest regular flu season we've seen in nearly a decade, Frieden said in a conference call with reporters. That suggests this could be a bad flu year.
The flu is caused by different strains and part of the test for scientists is trying to mix a vaccine that includes the strains that are most likely to be dominant in any given season.
The current vaccine, which has been prepared in advance, seems well-matched for the strains that now working their way through the population, Frieden said.
Based on early testing, Frieden said that the number of suspected flu cases has jumped in five Southern states: Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Texas.
The dominant flu type is the same as the one associated with the flu season of 2003-2004, when the outbreak was bad, he said.
The CDC recommends a yearly flu vaccine for everyone 6 months of age and older. It usually takes about two weeks for the body's immune response to fully kick in.
Especially at risk are very young children, particularly those younger than 2, and people older than 65. People with chronic conditions such as asthma and heart disease are also at risk.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- The family of the Rockford teen shot and killed while allegedly trying to hold up Marie's Pizza are filing a lawsuit today in federal court.
They allege that Frank Pobjecky, the off-duty sheriff's deputy who happened to be in the restaurant at the time, used excessive force and failed to provide medical care.
This is the statement released today from the family's attorney:
CHICAGO, IL (September 28, 2012) – The family of the late Michael DeAngelo Sago, Jr. filed a lawsuit in federal court today against the off-duty police officer who shot the unarmed teenager during an incident at a Rockford pizzeria. The lawsuit alleges that Frank Pobjecky, a deputy with the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department, violated Sago, Jr.'s civil rights, used excessive force, failed to provide medical care, and failed to summon paramedics in a timely fashion, among other things. Also named in the lawsuit are Winnebago County Sheriff Richard Meyers and Winnebago County.
The lawsuit arises from an October 2011 incident at Marie's Pizza in Rockford, IL, during which a robbery suspect displayed a gun. That suspect was shot and immobilized by off-duty officer Pobjecky, who happened to be inside the small carryout pizzeria at the time. Pobjecky then shot and critically wounded two other unarmed adult men who were attempting to leave the scene.
After the suspect with the gun was shot and immobilized, and the two other unarmed men left the scene, Sago, Jr. tried to leave the scene. Pobjecky shot the unarmed teenager three times in the back. Sago, Jr. did not immediately die of his gunshot wounds. He fell to the ground just outside the pizzeria, which is located across from a hospital, and lay bleeding in the parking lot until he died. The lawsuit alleges that Pobjecky did nothing to provide medical care to the dying teenager.
The complaint, filed by Chicago civil rights attorney Basileios "Bill" Foutris on behalf of the young victim's family, charges Pobjecky and Winnebago County Sheriff Richard Meyers with wrongful death and misconduct. Pobjecky "acted in an intentional, willful and wanton manner and/or in utter disregard for" Sago, Jr.'s safety, according to today's filing.
In a statement released by his department several weeks after the shootings occurred, Winnebago County Sheriff Richard Meyers said that he believes that Deputy Pobjecky's actions were "in compliance with all department policies and procedures and he acted according to proper police training." Sheriff Meyers subsequently nominated Pobjecky for a law enforcement award for his actions.
The victim's family's complaint asserts that the actions and statements of the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department are "sending the unmistakable message to Sheriff's Deputies that shooting unarmed teenagers in the back is a proper act." In doing so, according to the complaint, the policies and procedures of the Sheriff's Department are "directly encouraging future abuses" such as this one.
"Were it not for the gross misconduct of Frank Pobjecky, Michael Sago, Jr. would be alive today," said Foutris. "Michael was an unarmed minor who was running from the scene. He was a 16-year-old who was shot in the back not once, but three times even though he did not present a threat to Pobjecky," explained Foutris.
During a court proceeding two months after the shootings, it was discovered that the entire incident was captured on the pizzeria's video security system. Sago, Jr.'s family has not been permitted to view the video footage. Prosecutors originally objected to the videotaped evidence being shared with the defense. They successfully obtained a gag order on the video so that it cannot be shared with Sago, Jr.'s family or the media, according to Foutris.
The six-count lawsuit seeks compensatory and punitive damages from Pobjecky, as well as compensatory damages from the other defendants. The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division (James Horton, as the Independent Administrator of the Estate of Michael DeAngelo Sago, Jr., Plaintiff, v. Deputy Frank Pobjecky, Winnebago County Sheriff Richard Meyers and Winnebago County, Defendants).

How single stars lost their companions
(PhysOrg.com) -- Not all stars are loners. In our home galaxy, the Milky Way, about half of all stars have a companion and travel through space in a binary system. But explaining why some stars are in double or even triple systems while others are single has been something of a mystery. Now a team of astronomers from Bonn University and the Max-Planck-Institute for Radio astronomy (also in Bonn) think they have the answer different stellar birth environments decide whether a star holds on to its companion. The scientists publish their results in a paper in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Stars generally do not form in isolation but are born together in groups within clouds of gas and dust or nebulae. These stellar labour rooms produce binary star systems, which means that virtually all newborn stars have a companion. Most of these groups of stars disperse quickly so that their members become part of the Galaxy. But why, then, are not all stars seen in the sky binaries, but only half of them?
Before the groups of stars disperse, binary stars move through their birth sites and the group studied how they interact with other stars gravitationally. "In many cases the pairs are torn apart into two single stars, in the same way that a pair of dancers might be separated after colliding with another couple on a crowded dance floor", explains Michael Marks, a PhD student and member of the International Max-Planck Research School for Astronomy and Astrophysics. The population of binaries is therefore diminished before the stars spread out into the wider Galaxy.
The stellar nurseries do not all look the same and are crowded to different extents, something described by the density of the group. The more binaries form within the same space (higher density groups), the more interaction will take place between them and the more binary systems will be split up into single stars. This means that every group has a different composition of single and binary stars when the group disperses, depending on the initial density of stars.
By using computer models to calculate the resulting composition of stars and binaries in regions of different densities, the Bonn astronomers know how different types of birth sites will contribute single stars and binary systems to the wider Galaxy. "Working out the composition of the Milky Way from these numbers is simple: We just add up the single and binary stars in all the dispersed groups to build a population for the wider Galaxy", says Kroupa.
Marks explains how this new approach can be used much more widely: "This is the first time we have been able to compute the stellar content of a whole galaxy, something that was simply not possible until now. With our new method we can now calculate the stellar contents of many different galaxies and work out how many single and binary stars they have."

Riots that started in London spread to several English cities last night with widespread looting and arson leading to scores of arrests.
As a massive police presence in the capital appeared to quell unrest there, youths in major cities including Manchester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, Leicester, and Wolverhampton took to the streets robbing main-street stores and attacking officers.
A senior Manchester police official, Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan, said 110 people were arrested overnight in the city and in neighboring Salford and that officers were already sifting through CCTV camera images today to identify looters.
"Already today we have begun the process of arresting people whose images have been captured on CCTV and other media," he said in a stark warning to troublemakers. "My message is extremely simple: Hundreds and hundreds of people, we have your image, we have your face, we have your acts of wanton criminality on film. We are coming for you [starting] today, and no matter how long it takes, we will arrest those people responsible."
Three youths die in Birmingham riots
In England's second most populous city, Birmingham, where the English cricket team is due to start a five-day test match against India today, three people died after being hit by a car when reportedly trying to defend local shops in the Winson Green area from looters. Police said a murder inquiry had been launched and more than 100 arrested in the West Midlands.
Despite the looting and arson in other cities, London – which endured the worst of the violence over the previous three nights – was calm with only isolated pockets of trouble.
IN PICTURES: Britain riots
More than 16,000 police officers backed up by mounted police, dog teams, and helicopters provided the show of strength promised by Prime Minister David Cameron after arriving back from holiday on Tuesday.
Just 24 hours after widespread riots, looting and arson, potential flashpoints were eerily quiet with few people on the streets.
In Clapham Junction, south London, where the previous night rioters had smashed shops and set fire to property, police guarded barriers on no-through roads with pubs quieter than usual and commuters from the nearby railway station – the UK's busiest – scurrying home.
Police presence: Too little too late?
"It's good to see so many police on the streets, but where were they last night when everything was going off?" asks lawyer Samantha Jones, who lives in the area. "People were definitely fearful last night about what happened and frightened. This area is normally really buzzy this time of night, but not tonight. I don't know whether they're still scared or intimidated by all the police but people seem to just want to go home … like me."
A tour around other London areas saw a familiar pattern: Vast numbers of police, many from other cities, patrolled on foot or in vans, largely with nothing to do.
In multiethnic Brixton, which was the scene of violence on Sunday night, officers in fluorescent jackets were spread out along the main street and neighboring roads, 30 paces apart in an obvious show of force.
Benjamin Abraham, a teenager from Brixton, said he felt uncomfortable with the policy. "There was a bit trouble here but nothing major, nothing like what happened in [the nearby neighborhoods of] Ealing and Croydon," he said.
Pointing at police lines he added: "It's a bit over the top but I suppose if it stops any trouble it's not a bad thing. We shouldn't be smashing up our neighborhood – where does that get us?"
The mood on the streets was the same in other areas of south London such as Tooting, Stockwell, Kennington, Streatham, Battersea, and Colliers Wood. Vans and cars full of officers parked in high streets and side roads with police killing time, interspersed with the odd siren and flashing lights.
At around 1 a.m. local time Wednesday morning the hordes of police vehicles began to pull out of their designated spots and gather at rendezvous points, job done.
The Metropolitan Police will rightly view it as a success after the previous three nights of trouble, which so far has seen nearly 700 arrests and more than 110 officers injured in the capital following the fatal shooting of suspected gangster Mark Duggan in Tottenham last Thursday.

As we transition from October to November, we move away from outdoor gardening activities to those practices that can be successfully done indoors. We can provide warmth, water and fertilizer, if needed. However, the fourth pillar of plant growth � light � is in ever-shortening supply.
The daylength, as of today, has shortened from 15 hours and 18 minutes on June 20, to 10 hours and 29 minutes, on its way to 9 hours and 4 minutes on Dec. 21. To say it another way, we have lost almost one-third of the daylength in the past four months, and we will continue to lose nearly 1 1/2 hours more.
Think of losing one-third of a night�s sleep, or skipping one meal a day, or continuing to function without one-third of your current energy. Yet, this is the present limitation that our household plants face. Is it any wonder that we must modify our plant care for the next few months, as it will be the middle of February before the daylength is as long again as today?
Why is daylength of such importance? All four aspects of plant growth � temperature, moisture, nutrients, and light � are each interdependent on one another. Most homeowners have recently experienced the effects of freezing temperatures in their gardens. The drought of last summer illustrated the importance of regular supplies of water to the lawns and gardens. The need for nutrients may be more subtle and difficult to diagnose, but nevertheless is recognized as essential.
Light is of equal importance, yet the daily reduction or increase of light (except in a general way) is not seen as central to plant growth as heat, water or food.
Plants absorb energy from the sun, and simple sugars and free oxygen are produced. As daylength shortens, less plant energy is made.
This slowing down of growth is a natural, cyclic phenomenon. Yet, it would be nice to have healthy plants indoors all winter. How do we reconcile the short days with our desire of winter greenery? Easy! Increase the light or decrease the warmth, moisture and feeding to achieve a balance among all plant inputs.
To increase the light input, place plants in your sunniest windows (normally those facing south) and additionally, use energy efficient florescent lights or grow bulbs.
As added heat stimulates plant growth, placing plants in a cooler location partly reduces the plants� need for light. As moisture and fertilizer are plant growth stimulants, they should both be used judiciously over winter.
Will any single action on our part completely mitigate the loss of daylength?
No. But it is possible to enjoy healthy green growing plants (and perhaps even a few flowers) if we understand and observe plants� winter needs and restrictions.

Every year since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007 has been a big year for iOS, and 2012 is certainly no exception. Let's take a stroll down memory lane, recalling the year that was for the iPhone, the iPad, and the operating system that powers them both.
Apple kicked off 2012 in party animal style at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, hosting an event focused on education. There, the company took the wraps off iBooks 2, noteworthy for its support for interactive textbooks, and the free iBooks Author app for creating them. Amazon responded by releasing another 97 Kindle models over the next three days.
Apple also unveiled a program designed to let businesses buy apps in bulk; "norms" like you and me still have to buy our Angry Birds one app at at time, however.
January also saw the annual Macworld | iWorld Conference and Expo--the trade show that goes through name changes the way Cher goes through costumes. Among the Best of Show winners we recognized at Macworld | iWorld 2012 were iOS-friendly products like Adonit's Jot Touch Bluetooth-enabled iPad stylus, Blue's Spark Digital USB mic for iPad and Mac, iStopMotion for iPad, the Game Your Video app, PDFpen for iPad, and the TourWrist app for panoramic photo exploration.
The month had 29 days this year, but if you thought that would translate into more iOS news than usual for the shortest month, you were wrong.
Still, though February wasn't full of iOS news, one significant kerfuffle occurred that month, in connection with overzealous address book access. Social networking app Path published a letter of apology after its app was discovered uploading the entire contents of its users' address books to its servers--unencrypted. Path wasn't the only app to help itself to such address book data, but it became the face of a type of business behavior that prompted a significant discussion of iOS security.
Apple announced in mid-February that a future iOS update would require apps to obtain users' permission before accessing their contacts. And with the eventual release of iOS 6, Apple was true to its word. Now Path and other apps that you use to share every intimate detail of your life with the Internet will access your contacts only after you tap to approve them.
Also in February, Apple previewed OS X Mountain Lion. Though it didn't qualify directly as iOS news, the Mac OS update borrowed heavily from iOS, bringing apps such as Notes, Reminders, and Game Center alongside iOS features like Notification Center, iMessage support, Twitter integration, and even AirPlay mirroring. And with the deeper iCloud integration that Apple promised in Mountain Lion, iOS and the Mac would get closer than ever.
March was a big month for iOS, starting with another press event, wherein Apple unveiled the new iPad, whose hotly anticipated Retina display scored almost as much press attention as the lack of a "3" in its name.
Apple CEO Tim Cook would crow later in March that Apple had a record weekend of sales for the new iPad, selling more than 3 million of the crisp-screened tablets. We loved the third-generation iPad and its 3.1 million pixels. Especially sweet, sweet pixel number 2,732,019--such a good one.
At that same March press event, Apple announced iOS 5.1. Its flagship feature was Siri's new support for Japanese. Reached for comment, Siri said, "T"jUDÁoBj_LWfU'sY‹KK‰jD "SirinoBj_'Ánq'^DfD‹" Also as a result of the update, AT&T customers magically saw their 3G label turn into a 4G one, in a fit of cellular branding; a geofencing indicator appeared; and the lock screen camera shortcut debuted.
Apple also used its March event to introduce iPhoto for iOS, and to announce updates to the rest of its iWork and iLife apps for iPads and iPhones. And the company proclaimed that the App Store had crossed the 25 billion downloads mark. That's roughly four app downloads for every dollar Apple had in the bank at the time.
Apple didn't make any significant iOS news in April this year. Probably because it was too busy counting its nearly doubled profits.
Word to your mothers. Or more accurately, cards to your mothers. And more specifically, 100 percent cotton cards. Because in May, Apple added Mother's Day letterpress templates to its Cards app, while making minor updates to several other apps, too.
iOS 5.1.1 made its debut, and met with the rapturous enthusiasm that you'd expect an update with such a flashy version number to engender.
Also in May, Apple announced 2012's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which got everyone wondering about a potential upcoming announcement of iOS 5's grand sequel, iOS 6.
And back then, thanks to swirling rumors, we were all pretty excited about what a new Maps app in iOS 6 might mean. Whoops.
At WWDC, Apple held YAK--Yet Another Keynote. This time, the Cupertino crew premiered iOS 6, with the long-rumored new Maps app as its flagship feature. The Maps app, Apple promised, would include turn-by-turn directions, voice guidance, and a stunning new 3D view called Flyover. The company didn't mention that, at least in some regions, the Maps app's geographic information would be decidedly lousy.
iOS 6 also taught Siri some new tricks, and brought it to the third-generation iPad. And Apple showed off various other features, including Do Not Disturb, Facebook integration, Photo Stream, Passbook, and FaceTime-over-cellular. Customers couldn't race to install the new iOS on their devices, however: Apple said it wouldn't launch until the fall.
June also saw the release of Apple's Podcasts app for iOS. That was not particularly a highlight of the company's year. And Google released Chrome for iOS, which turned out to be just the first of the company's strategy to release apps aimed squarely at Apple's built-in software.
In July, Russian hacker Alexy V. Borodin exploited an iOS flaw that gave him the ability to make in-app purchases for free. Borodin offered up his method to the masses, or at least to the tech-savvy-but-morals-unencumbered masses--though it later emerged that people who tried his approach also ended up providing their Apple IDs and passwords to him. Doubtless he kept the information safe.
Borodin told Macworld that he thought Apple would hire him on the strength of his exploits, but he appears to have been mistaken. Eventually Apple recommended a workaround to enable developers to block the exploit in their apps, and iOS 6 closed the vulnerability completely.
Google, meanwhile, acquired the popular Sparrow app for iOS, an acquisition signaling that put Google's unloved Gmail app in a position to inherit some of Sparrow's interface advantages.
In August, Apple confirmed that the YouTube app, which had been preinstalled on every iPhone since 2007, would go the way of the eMac in iOS 6.
Beyond that, August was relatively quiet on the iOS front, almost as if something big were brewing--which, true to form, it was.
We'd just gotten over mourning the not-yet-defunct preinstalled YouTube app, when Google released a stand-alone YouTube app. And that was just the start of September's emotional roller coaster.
At yet another special media event, Apple introduced the iPhone 5, which was a lot like the iPhone 4S, only taller. And thinner. And awesomer.
Besides its taller screen, the iPhone 5 had a new camera, LTE speeds, and a new connector called Lightning.
But before we could get our desperate hands on the new iPhone, Apple released iOS 6, as well as significant updates to iOS apps such as iBooks, GarageBand, iPhoto, iMovie, and Keynote. And the Cards app achieved iPad compatibility for the first time, meaning that you can now create 100 percent cotton letterpress cards from pretty much every iOS device there is (if device is running iOS 6--sorry, first-generation iPad!).
iOS 6 included oodles of updates, including revamped versions of Find My Friends and Find My iPhone, and significant updates to Music, Safari, Mail, Settings, social and sharing features, Stores, and Siri. The big update, of course, was Maps.
As Apple quickly sold 5 million iPhone 5's (they went on sale around the world on September 21) and recorded 100 million iOS 6 upgrades, more and more customers started trying out Maps. And many of them felt like telling Apple's new Google-free Maps to get lost, especially since some Maps users so often got lost themselves.
"The more our customers use our Maps, the better it will get," Apple said. Then Tim Cook said that Apple was "extremely sorry for the frustration" that people faced with the Maps app.
Unhappy users were left to wonder (but not for very long): Would Google release a standalone Maps app of its own? Yes it would.
In October, in the wake of September's iOS 6 excitement, we felt confident that Apple was done with major iOS announcements for the year. Wrong again.
"Now may not be the time" for an iPad mini, my friend and colleague Dan Moren argued, a rare off-the-mark prediction from him--and one that I would never go out of my way to recall in a public forum just to goad him.
As it turned out, Apple unveiled two new iPads in October that would ship in November: the iPad mini, a 7.9-inch version of the full-size tablet; and the fourth-generation iPad, which closely resembled the third-generation version that predated it by about half a year but had beefier internals.
Elsewhere on the iOS front, companies started making moves focused on iOS 6's changes: Giants like Starbucks embraced Passbook; and Google sneaked Street View back onto the iPhone via its website. However, Passbook seemed to catch on slowly, and folks continued to complain about the iOS 6 Maps situation--though they continued to buy the iPhone 5 in droves.
At the same event where it unveiled its new iPads, Apple also announced iBooks 3.0. The upgraded iBooks improved upon earlier versions with better iCloud support, a new scrolling view, and more sharing options.
The big iOS news in November was that we finally got our hands on the iPad mini and the fourth-generation iPad. And guess what: We liked the iPad mini, and we liked the fourth-generation iPad, too. In fact, the one new iPad-related item we didn't much like was the iPad mini Smart Cover. I'm pretty sure Hurricane Sandy's bitter aftertaste didn't influence my review of that accessory, but I promise nothing.
Also in November came iOS 6.0.1, which was mostly boring. That was the update for which iPhone 5 owners first had to download a special app to fix a bug that prevented their phones from installing the iOS 6.0.1 update over the air. And that was probably the most exciting element of the upgrade.
In December, Google updated Gmail for iOS, which incorporated some interface refinements inspired by Sparrow, as noted in the July subhead above. But that wasn't the biggest Google iOS release of 2012.
No, that distinction clearly goes to Google Maps, which arrived on lucky December 13. We liked the app, and we weren't alone: It rocketed to the top of the App Store charts, thanks to features like turn-by-turn directions, Street View, and, of course, Google's extensive and road-tested mapping data.
iOS 6.0.2 debuted in December as well, aiming to fix Wi-Fi woes that ailed the iPhone 5 and iPad mini, but some upgraders now report battery woes instead. Apple also updated its iWork suite for iOS, looking to improve compatibility with Microsoft Office. Let's take a moment to commiserate with the poor souls responsible for verifying how well the iWork apps on iOS handle complex Office documents--because, wow, does that sound painful.
As the year drew to a close, we did two things: We recognized our App Gems for 2012, and we finished this iOS year in review.

It has to be a much better year for me than 2011 was. Started okay. Jean had an appointment to start on getting a knee replaced. Then in April she was diagnosed with bi-lateral lung cancer. About the same time we lost my sister Linda. Jean gave me some time and then told me one day "just think. Linda's up in heaven looking down on all of us saying 'you people just think you're having a good time'."
We spent the summer and fall getting Jean treated at MD Anderson. A couple of rounds of chemo that shrank the tumors enough the radiation was started. She finished her 30 days on Oct 28. As a result of the radiation she got pneumonia. On Nov 14 she had to go to the ER. She spent 7 days sedated and entubated. She was moved to a rehab hospital on day 8. She improved at first because they got the pneumonia. But she got a yeast infection in her lungs. She had less than 50% lung function before the treatment started and she just could not beat the infection. She was fighting right up to the last day. She passed away on Dec 9, 2011. She was buried at Houston National Cemetery on Dec 14.
I called Social Security and reported her death and was told the deposit scheduled for Dec was for Nov so there would be no payback. Saturday, Dec 31 I got a letter from SSA telling me I owed the last 12 months of her SS pension. Someway the idiots got her death date as Dec, 2010 instead of Dec, 2011. Oh well, what's another trip to the SSA office?

"There are no obscure secrets here," says Laskey. "Life's Simple Sevens, the current message from the AHA, instructs us to:
- "Manage blood pressure"- in the case of the Tsimane, large through a very physically active lifestyle.
- "Control cholesterol"- which in the case of Tsimane is accomplished largely through the physical life style and a diet high in fiber, carbohydrate derived, and low in fat and protein.
- "Blood sugar control"- which in the case of the Tsimane is accomplished, again, by the physical life style, low genetic predisposition and non-processed dietary carbohydrates.
- "Active life style" – not enough can be said here since exercise, in moderation, does wonderful things metabolically and physiologically.

The report further explained, "While industrial populations are sedentary for more than half of their waking hours, 54 percent, the Tsimane spend only 10 percent of their daytime being inactive.

The research findings are an outgrowth of a collaboration between The Tsimane Health and Life History Project (THLHP) and the Division of Cardiology in Health Sciences. The findings are the first of many expected reports on the Tsimane people.

Hand numbness shuts down Beckett's rehab
LOS ANGELES -- Injured pitcher Josh Beckett has been experiencing tingling and numbness in the fingers in his right hand, so the Dodgers have shut down the right-hander's throwing program. He will have an MRI exam on Tuesday.
Beckett strained his left groin covering first base in his start on May 13 against the Nationals, and was placed on the disabled list the following day. At that time, the veteran starter and manager Don Mattingly alluded to other health issues Beckett had been dealing with, but they did not offer specifics.
Before Monday night's game against the Angels, Mattingly revealed Beckett has been dealing with tingling and numbness in his fingers "for a while."
"The groin has went good, and the arm has went bad," Mattingly said.
Beckett is 0-5 with a 5.19 ERA in eight starts.
While Beckett suffered a setback, left-hander Scott Elbert is getting closer to returning to the Dodgers' bullpen.
Elbert, rehabbing from a pair of offseason elbow operations, pitched on consecutive days over the weekend with Double-A Chattanooga for the first time since beginning his Minor League rehab assignment May 10.
Elbert will have two days off before he continues his rehab with Triple-A Albuquerque, likely his final stop before returning to the Major Leagues.
"He's moving this way," Mattingly said.
