iPhone Prices Under Competitive Pressure Phone prices are being aggressively lowered by Apple's competition and Apple appears to be responding with price cuts, something we haven't seen before. Never mind that excellent Android and Windows Phones can be had for a lot less than the iPhone's $199 with a 2 year plan; more and more users are opting for older and cheaper iPhone models. The bottom line of all this is that Apple's average selling price for an iPhone is going down.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Last week, just days after the demonstrations to reform or overthrow the Egyptian government got underway, Muslims in the south of the country took advantage of the general chaos to break into two homes belonging to local Coptic Christians and butcher every man, woman and child they could find.
The Muslim assailants massacred eleven people and seriously wounded four others. Two whole families were destroyed.
According to survivors of the attack who spoke to AINA, the Assyrian International News Agency, the attackers were aided by the Christians' Muslim neighbors. Killed in the attack were a 15-year-old girl, an 8-year-old boy, a 4-year-old boy and a little girl only three years old.
There is spreading fear that if Egypt falls into the hands of the radical Muslim Brotherhood, godfather of extremist groups across the region, the 10 million Coptic Christians in Egypt will face severe persecution, or worse.
There is already evidence that the Christians of Egypt are in for a very bumpy ride going forward. On Sunday, the Muslim Brotherhood-led opposition agreed to sit down and talk with newly-appointed Vice President Omar Suleiman. The Christians were not invited to the table, despite being part of the original demonstrations demanding reform.

Clarkson University Offers Challenging One-week Program for High School Students in July
The Young Scholars Program, an exceptional summer experience for talented high school students, will once again be offered by Clarkson University July 14 to 20.
The innovative and challenging program, typically for rising sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduating high school students, fosters intellectual development, communication skills, and cooperative problem solving in a real-world setting.
Students who successfully complete the Young Scholars Program will receive a $4,000 scholarship ($1,000 per year) toward tuition if they attend The Clarkson School or Clarkson University full time for their undergraduate education.
The program application and more information can be found online at http://www.clarkson.edu/youngscholars.
Consistent with Clarkson's overall focus on interdisciplinary education, Young Scholars Program students are given a problem to examine and solve from three different perspectives: business, engineering, and ethics/social values.
Working individually and in small groups, students conduct research and make a final presentation to campus and community leaders. Students' families are also encouraged to attend the final presentation. This innovative program sparks intellectual development and requires students to exercise strong communication skills, and cooperative problem solving.
This year's project, "Lifeboat Central: A Climate-Disaster Action Plan Coming to a High School Near You," will focus on this hypothetical scenario: The governor has called on municipalities to design Climate Action Disaster Plans that utilize public school buildings and grounds.
These plans would ideally describe how a school and its grounds can be used to provide shelter (food, water, waste disposal, for example) for community residents for up to 90 days. The plans would include stockpiling of materials, low-tech solutions for water treatment, waste mitigation, farming, heating or cooling, and medicine; and would address even basic rules of ethics and distributive justice. The plans would include an estimated budget for implementation.
Working with three Clarkson professors specializing in engineering, social network theory, and ethics and sustainability, students will utilize Potsdam Central School as a prototype school and work to develop an action plan for the Village of Potsdam. At the conclusion of the weeklong program, students will deliver a professional presentation to school administrators, local government officials, and other professionals outlining their Climate Disaster Action Plan.
Past topics and projects have included School Climate Action Plans; Branding the Adirondacks; Bringing Clean Drinking Water to La Margarita, Ecuador; Nature 101: Waste Equals Food; Energy Park; Small is Beautiful New Home Design; We Can Get There From Here: Rethinking Public Transportation In A Post Carbon-World; Redesigning Portable Housing; and Waterfront Recreation-Development Plan (If We Build It, Will They Come?).
Recent participants have primarily come from New York, but also from Massachusetts, California, Maine, Vermont, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and other states.
The Young Scholars Program is administered by The Clarkson School, the University's early entrance program for talented high school students who have completed the eleventh grade and are ready to begin their college studies.
For more information and an application, go to http://www.clarkson.edu/youngscholars , call 315-268-4425 or e-mail Brenda Kozsan, director of Young Scholars, at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

The debate over older workers staying on the job longer, and crowding out younger employees, won't go away. In a recent Dear Abby column, "Disgusted in Columbus, Ohio," blasted older workers for hanging onto their jobs "so they can live lavish lifestyles" at the expense of younger workers who don't advance in the workplace, or worse, get laid off.
Yet as Dear Abby pointed out, many older adults stay on the job these days just to survive. During the financial crisis and recession, older workers were hard hit when the stock market tanked. Not only did so many on the verge of retirement lose a big chunk of their retirement savings, but they also had relatively few years left in the workplace to build back savings. As a result, many opted to stay on the job longer to try to recover financially.
Studies suggest that these assertions, which pit older and younger workers against each other, are just plain wrong. Recent research, including a Pew Charitable Trust report, found that older workers who remain on the job do not take away opportunities for younger adults. Erin Currier, a project manager at Pew, says researchers looked at employment data over 35 years (from 1977 to 2011) and found that a one-percentage-point increase in employment among workers ages 55 to 64 was associated with a 0.2-percentage point bump in the employment rate for workers ages 25 to 54.
In other words, if the job market is strong, the economy can grow and benefit workers of all ages.
Currier also pointed out that jobs held by older workers tend to require more experience and knowledge. So when older adults do leave the workforce, it doesn't necessarily mean that young workers will be hired to fill those positions.
Meanwhile, the finances of older workers shouldn't inspire envy. It's true that older workers kept their jobs during the recession more so than younger peers and continue to make strides. (Workers ages 20 to 24 made up 9.5 percent of all workers in mid-2007, just before the recession hit, and that figure remains about the same today. The share of workers 55 and over grew from 17.8 percent in mid-2007 to 21.5 percent now).
But when employers cut workers 55-plus from their payrolls during the downturn, it took them about a year on average to find work, almost twice as long as younger workers. And when they did land a job, often it was for lower wages. Some reluctantly settled into retirement and took their Social Security benefit early, at a permanently reduced rate, because they couldn't find work. Many tapped their retirement savings just to meet their daily expenses. And we already know that boomers weren't great at saving enough for retirement in the first place.
It's been four years since the recession officially ended yet meeting our bills continues to be a challenge. A CareerBuilder survey of nearly 3,900 workers found that 43 percent of those ages 45 to 54 – the most of any demographic – said they were struggling to pay the bills and lived paycheck to paycheck. Of workers 55-plus, one in three (34 percent) said the same.
Some older workers feel the squeeze because they're caring for elderly parents and helping out their adult children. According to an AARP survey of 1,200 Americans age 45 to 65, and cited in The New York Times, nearly one in five said they expected to provide financial support to their children. But few expected to get help from their kids.
The lifestyles of older workers just don't seem lavish to me.

Sunday's Super Bowl will be played out in New Orleans, a city world-famous for its cultural diversity and indigenous cuisines. Well-known New Orleans foods, such as Creole and Cajun dishes like jambalaya and gumbo, will be enjoyed by visitors to the city, to be sure, but they can also be replicated by those of us who plan to enjoy the game at home. Because one-pot jambalayas and gumbos can be prepared in quantities to feed a crowd (or just a few), they make perfect party dishes, especially for appetites not easily appeased by chips and dip or cheese and crackers. (Super Bowl Sunday is the second biggest eating day in the United States after Thanksgiving.) Jambalaya recipes, the result of the influences of French, African and Caribbean cooking techniques, contain the "holy trinity of vegetables," onion, celery and bell pepper, and, most commonly, chicken and smoked sausage (usually Andouille). Gumbo is similarly comprised of an assortment of meats and vegetables, but also contains seafood and okra, with their recipes having roots in the cooking methods of the Indians of the region, French and Spanish settlers and the African slaves who gave gumbo its name (from the Bantu gombo). Both jambalaya and gumbo dishes includes rice - but with one major difference. In jambalaya dishes, the rice is actually cooked in the same pot as the jambalaya and is an integral part of the dish. Gumbo dishes, on the other hand, are served with rice that has been cooked in a separate pot, with the rice being served either on top of the gumbo, or as a base beneath it. Either way, jambalaya and gumbo both make super Super Bowl eating, whether done in New Orleans or right here at home.

I'm more trusting of fellas when they have my cock in their mouth
I wouldn't pair him up with Carvalho. Carvalho's not mobile enough and not good enough on the ball. Gana can be the more defensive DM, and pair him with a playmaker type.But yeah, made up with what I saw of the lad.
It was a great performance but you can see he's not natural on the ball. A few poor touches touches and under hit passes.
Good performance today, did give the ball away a few times though.A definite improvement to our midfield.
MOTM for me, tell me a player who doesn't give the ball away a few times during 90 minutes.

Life in a North Korean Prison
In 1968, Capt. Pete Bucher and his crew were captured off the North Korean coast. This is what happened next.
On Thursday, when North Korea's government news agency announced the execution of Jang Song-taek—the uncle and presumed political adviser of leader Kim Jong-un—for alleged treason, a U.S. State Department spokeswoman called the act, if confirmed, "another example of the extreme brutality of the North Korean regime." In his new book, Act of War: Lyndon Johnson, North Korea, and the Capture of the Spy Ship Pueblo , journalist Jack Cheevers recounts a much earlier incident of brutality in the Hermit Kingdom, under the Cold War rule of Kim's grandfather, Kim Il-sung: On Jan. 23, 1968, the USS Pueblo —a spy ship sent to find military radar stations along the coast of North Korea—was attacked by North Korean patrol boats near the port of Wonsan. One of the 82 American crew members aboard the Pueblo was killed, and the rest were captured when Capt. Pete Bucher surrendered the poorly armed boat, which had been loaded with classified documents and surveillance equipment.
In the following excerpt, Cheevers, drawing on numerous interviews and previously unreleased government documents, describes the turmoil Bucher felt during his early days in prison, where he was guarded closely by a chain-smoking North Korean colonel and his team of thugs. Bucher and his crew were eventually released after 11 months. The USS Pueblo, however, remains in North Korean hands today—where the threat of imprisonment is by no means a thing of the past either: Less than a week before Jang's execution, North Korea finally released an American tourist and veteran of the Korean War, Merrill Newman, who had been held for more than a month. Newman hasn't revealed many details about his detainment, but judging by Bucher's experience, it's clear one of the last places on earth an American wants to find himself is a North Korean prison.
Story Continued Below
In the early hours of his second day in prison, Pete Bucher decided to kill himself.
He was a physical and emotional wreck. Repeated beatings had left him pissing blood. Sleep was nearly impossible; his arms, legs, back, sides and chest bore so many painful bruises that it was difficult even to lie down. Lingering nausea erased any desire for food.
A profound sense of shame tormented him. He had signed a false espionage confession only after the North Korean communists had repeatedly beaten him, subjected him to a mock execution, forced him to view a hideously tortured and mutilated South Korean captive, and threatened to shoot his sailors one by one before his eyes, starting with the youngest. Yet he berated himself for caving in too quickly to the North Korean colonel who ran the prison, whom the crewmen nicknamed "Super C." He should've held out longer, absorbed more kicks and punches and karate blows. Why hadn't he called the communists' bluff when they brought the Pueblo's fireman, Howard Bland, to the interrogation room? Maybe they wouldn't have shot the young seaman after all.
It had all happened so fast—still was happening fast. Shortly after confessing, Bucher was forced to appear at a staged press conference during which North Korean "journalists" hissed at him and angrily demanded details of how he'd spied on their country. Exhausted, deeply depressed and reading from a prepared script, the captain robotically confirmed every allegation.
There was no telling what the North Koreans would try to extract next. So far they'd been content merely to use him as a mouthpiece for obvious propaganda. What if they wanted more? His mind was a treasure chest of military secrets: details of U.S. naval war plans, submarine operations, undersea surveillance techniques and agent landings. Could the communists pry open that mental lockbox with the diabolical levers of pain and fear? The truth was that they probably could.
Snow flurries thrummed against the window of his threadbare room. The ceiling light burned around the clock. Despair and loneliness plagued him. By now, he figured, the communists probably had pumped all the classified information they could out of Lt. Steve Harris, who supervised the specially trained technicians who ran the ship's eavesdropping equipment, and shot him. Other crewmen might be dead from wounds suffered during the attack or beatings in prison.
Suicide was contrary to Bucher's life-loving nature and staunch Catholicism, but he felt he had no choice. He sensed he already was close to a breaking point from all of the beatings and intimidation; more concentrated forms of pain probably would cause him to fall apart completely. He feared torture much more than death, and killing himself quickly seemed a lot better than letting Super C's thugs do it slowly. The last thing he wanted was to be reduced to a shattered wretch babbling his country's secrets in exchange for even a brief respite from the torturer's dreadful tools.

After crossing the bridge of Santiago, in Padrón, we come across Costiña do Carme, which leads us to the convent of the same name, Convento do Carme.
The neoclassical building was constructed at the beginning of the 18th century on top of live rock. It was originally inhabited by Discalced Carmelites and then, after the secularization process, by Dominicans, who are still present today.
Due to its privileged location, its atrium, which is open to the public, is a perfect viewpoint overlooking Padrón. A few metres away, there is also a fountain called Fonte do Carme, built in the 16th century.

Values & History
We're passionate about our sport, we're passionate about our products and we're not afraid to say we're the best.
The true spirit of competition
In 2010, we launched this advertising campaign featuring a number of elite athletes, titled Cheat Legal, which plays to the fact that SKINS give you a naturally unfair advantage. SKINS believe that athletes should handle themselves with honesty and integrity at all times. They should play hard and fair be determined and driven with the true spirit of competition.
SKINS values and intolerance of doping is paramount.
We don't believe it because we don't believe it's needed. Not if you've got a product that really works and you've got the research to prove it.
It took us five years of testing, speaking to experts, designing and redesigning before we launched our first pair of SKINS tights. We may have got a bit faster since, but we still go through the same process with all our products.
Because when you've got something that is scientifically proven to boost training and performance and speed up recovery, you just say it how it is. No hype required.
We tell it straight. Because it's the only way we know how.
A brief history of SKINS
In 1996, an Aussie skier had a bold ambition to feel ten years younger so he could ski all day, party all night and be ready the next morning do it all again.
His starting point was the knowledge that improved blood circulation would supply more oxygen to his muscles, helping them work harder for longer and recover faster. So he consulted with NASA and other experts to confirm he was on to something. Turns out he was.
Soon word got out that there were these things called SKINS that improved your power, speed, stamina and recovery. Pro athletes were the first to start wearing them. Before long, amateur athletes joined the party.
SKINS are now sold in 31 countries. We've got over 160 products and manufacture more than 100,000 units a month. And counting.

Developing Web Services with Borland JBuilder Enterprise and BEA WebLogic Server
At the present, most of the corporate world is either entertaining an idea of Web service infrastructure or is actively developing it. Honestly, it is not that difficult to leverage previously written business logic and expose it as a Web service. Web service standards have gained a lot of momentum in the past years and now have come to the point where they are reliable and robust; even different development toolkits will produce standardized results across different platforms.
There are several advantages to adding a Web service infrastructure to any business process. First, an existing source code (PC or mainframe based) and all the investment that went into its development will not vanish, but in fact will continue to serve its purpose from behind a new Web interface. Second, new business transactions will be easy to conduct over the Web and they will interact with any new or legacy system that is also exposed as a standard Web service. Third, business transactions become meaningful, thanks in part to the SOAP and XML standards. Fourth, if a Web service is well designed, process control should become minimized. Fifth, the session is done over HTTP connection and therefore potentially may not be limited by firewalls. There are of course other benefits for implementing Web services and they are therefore a very good ROI for any corporation.
In this article, I will explain how to create a simple Web service from an existing Java application using enterprise-level tools, such as JBuilder X or JBuilder 2005 Enterprise and BEA WebLogic Application Server. I will describe the structure, standards, and logic of a Web service and the platforms involved. To demonstrate a Web service in action, a project with a server and a client will be created. The client will initiate a real Web service session to the server. I will also briefly describe how to accomplish the same, by using freely available tools such as Eclipse IDE and Axis Toolkit.
Hosting Environment
To have a working Web service, an Application Server capable of hosting it to the world is required. A,Web service also may be optionally registered with any public UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration) registry or with a local UDDI registry hosted on an application server. The UDDI provides address book functionality to the potential business clients; it allows the client to locate a particular service and describes what kind of APIs are available. Without the UDDI registry, business clients can (and often will) go directly to a Web service URL and request a WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) document that also will contain a detailed description of what APIs are provided. The WSDL is an XML document that is hosted by the Application Server.
In a true business environment, WSDL should define not only all methods that are available but also a schema for all transactions. WSDL is designed to be understood by Web Service programs to help them create object stubs with methods to call on the client-side; a WSDL file is therefore auto generated by the toolkit that will be used to create a Web service.
A Web Service will be hosted as a Web application, inside of a web service container on an Application Server. Any interested client will initiate a regular HTTP session to interact with it. To set up Web service, Bea WebLogic Application server will be used, which is one of the industry leading platforms. It is available for free for development purposes, but for a production environment it will require a license. As an alternative, a free Tomcat application server and Axis toolkit or Jetty application server and Axis toolkit can be used. There are other Application Servers, notably JBoss, SunOne from Sun Microsystems, and WebSphere from IBM, but they are beyond the scope of this article. Any of these Web platforms are capable of hosting a Web application and services. For the development side, JBuilder X or 2005 Enterprise provides tremendous flexibility and ease in creating Web services. I also highly recommend the free Eclipse IDE with WebSphere or IBM WSAD tool for creating Web services hosted on WebSphere application server, but they are beyond the scope of this article.
Installation of BEA Weblogic is very straightforward, but JBuilder needs to be configured to hook into the Application server. Directions are as follows: In JBuilder, under the Tools menu, click Configure Servers to set up an application server setting.

Figure 2
Creating a Legacy Project
Create a new project in JBuilder. Create a new "beanexport" package in that project and add one class called Bean1. Another class called Tuple (see Listing 1, at the end of this article) can be created as well. The tuple class holds a pair of strings and is used to demonstrate a more complex object sent via a Web service. It is completely optional and does not need to be used.

Well-Founded Fear
Directed by Shari Robertson and Michael Camerini
The Epidavros Project / Epidoko Pictures
New York, NY
Well-Founded Fear is a feature documentary film that examines what goes on behind the electronic doors of the asylum office, the dramatic real-life stage where American ideals about human rights collide with the nearly impossible task of trying to know the truth. It is an intimate world never before seen on screen – asylum officers, lawyers, translators, economic migrants, legitimate refugees looking for protection, all focused on the confidential interviews that are the heart of the asylum process. With unprecedented access, Well-Founded Fear enters the closed corridors of the INS (the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service) for an extraordinary close-up look at what has been called the Ellis Island of the 21st Century. The documentary has become a core curriculum element in most immigration law programs, as well as central to training of each new class of Asylum Officers in the US Department of Homeland Security.

The Giants weren't expected to draft a quarterback. But the Giants weren't expecting Syracuse quarterback Ryan Nassib to be available on the third day of the draft.
And so when Nassib was still available, they traded up to grab him. And Giants coach Tom Coughlin said on ESPN that Nassib was atop their draft board and they simply couldn't pass up on that good a value.
"He was the number one player on our board at that time. We thought that if we were to lose him in that situation it wouldn't be smart," Coughlin said. "We felt very strongly about this young man. We look at him having an opportunity to learn from a great quarterback in Eli Manning, and we thought the value was too high to pass."
Giants G.M. Jerry Reese echoed those comments on NFL Network.
"We think he can be a starter in this league," Reese said. "I hope he never gets to play here because Eli is in the prime of his career and we hope he plays a long time here, but we really like Nassib. . . . We like his skill set."
The presence of Manning makes it entirely possible that Nassib will never start a game for the Giants. But there are plenty of fourth-round picks who never start for the team that drafted them. If Nassib is as good as the Giants think he is, it makes sense to take him, no matter how many more years Manning has as their starter.

Josi, could you put me down for Lily Cole as Silver Sable?
Don't forget to add your involvement in the Kree invasion so we can have your characters reasoning for being with the Avengers solidified.
I'm going to put in a character sheet for Warpath.
Not going to take up Bobby Drake?
Ah fuck it, damn you Lalu. I love writing for Bobby too much. I withdraw my claim on Warpath. I'll have a Iceman sheet up in a minute.
I'm stuck on a face claim for Iceman. I had his CS finished hours ago. I just can't find the person I'm looking for.
I have to ask though: No Deadpool?
I wouldn't really call Deadpool a "hero".
Still counts. >.>
Dead pool gets tiresome after a while too. That whole 4th wall thing can get old fast if overdone, which tends to happen.
Deadpool is like a Malkavian, fun in theory but in reality almost nobody can do it right so it gets tiresome really quickly. He's a cameo at best in a game like this, so I support the decision not to have him even though I think he's arguably more of a hero than half the Avengers roster.
