Hizzoner took cash, swag and private flights -- with no
questions asked
(WJBK) – Late one recent Friday night, one of my hockey
buddies handed me $100 in the parking lot outside the rink.
I didn't need to ask what it was for, but he explained
anyway when he thanked me for floating him a loan to cover his share of our summer skate.
Last Friday, I asked our goalie what size shirt he wears.
"What, are we getting each other Christmas presents
now?" he answered.
See, this is how the real world works: A guy gives you
dough, you know what it's for.
You ask a guy about his shirt size and his reaction is:
"Oh, great. Does this mean I'M on the hook for something now?"
But Kwame Kilpatrick did not live in the real world.
When frat buddy Mahlon Clift delivered $90,000 in two
installments, Kilpatrick didn't say, "My man, what's this all about?"
When Emma Bell reached into her bra during meetings in a
private room off the mayor's office and handed over tens thousands of dollars, Kilpatrick never
said, "Madam, what is the meaning of this?"
When Johnson Akinwusi paid off nearly $5,000 of
Kilpatrick's layaway tab, the mayor didn't even call him to say, "Who are you and what do you want?"
And when Tony Soave asked Kilpatrick if he planned to
reimburse him for any of the nearly $400,000 worth of free flights he provided the mayor, his family
and friends, all Kilpatrick said was "I'll get back to you."
He never did.
It's up to the jury to determine whether these
transactions -- as well as the $10,000 Kilpatrick hit up contractor Jon Rutherford for so he could buy suits in
Dubai and the $10,000 the mayor asked contractor Karl Kado for -- were illegal.
What I can tell you is that it's damned crazy.
It's also a good measure how screwed up city hall got
under Kilpatrick, and how his hijinks have warped the minds of some otherwise clear-headed folks.
See, none of these transactions have been contested by
Kilpatrick's lawyers.
When they cross-examined Clift, Bell, Akinwusi and Soave,
the grilling consisted of questions like: "Did Kilpatrick order you to make the payments?" and
"Did anyone threaten you with harm if you didn't?"
Amazingly, the defense team never questioned whether the
money or swag was handed over. And we've heard no testimony whatsoever that suggests the
mayor was surprised, let alone offended, by the gifts. Hell, Kilpatrick's lawyer has even volunteered
that there was a Red Party at the Atheneum
Hotel at which people were encouraged to fill a box or a
hat with cash for Hizzoner -- as if this sort of thing was normal!
Perhaps Hizzoner's lawyers are waiting to address all
this when they put on their case.
Perhaps they plan to put Hizzoner on the stand to testify
that he was shocked and appalled by these apparent efforts to influence him.
Perhaps he will testify that he took all of that loot and
gave it to the poor.
And perhaps this column is being typed by a thousand of
those flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz -- or that room full of chimps who banged out all of Bill
Shakespeare's best stuff.

Yes, Wisconsin's Workers Compensation does cover hearing loss. According to Johnson Law Offices About 20 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss. Workplace noise contributes from 1/2 to 2/3 of all hearing loss. Workers compensation was established to encourage employers to make a safe work environment for employees and to compensate for injuries which occurred while on the job. Today employers provide hearing protection, but for many aging workers the damage has already been done. Workers compensation pays for the disability of hearing loss just as it would any other work injury. As a matter fact hearing loss claims rank #3 for the number of worker's compensation injury claims filed today.
Work history, medical opinion, and common sense usually prevail in decisions insurance carriers and the state make in paying claims. Workplace noise is not required to be the only cause for the hearing loss, but it must have contributed to the hearing loss. For example, someone may have been exposed to noise at work and they may also have hearing loss due to the aging process. The focus of the law is upon the contribution of workplace noise to the hearing loss.
Compensation is available to those whose hearing has been impaired as a result of noisy employment. Exposure to noise for just several months may result in a compensable loss. The longer the exposure to noise usually means the greater the hearing loss and the more compensation. If one needs to regularly shout over the noise to communicate to his nearby fellow workers it is often considered to be noisy employment. If your ears ring at the end of the day of working in noise there is a very good chance that the level of sound where you are working may be causing permanent hearing loss.
Workers compensation benefits for hearing loss are largely undiscovered benefits covering hearing health care. Unlike most health insurance policies and Medicare, workers compensation can cover hearing aid purchases, repairs, supplies, and accessories in addition to the disability payment for the actual hearing loss.
Those qualifying for Worker's Compensation due to hearing loss are usually retired hearing impaired workers who are more often than not unaware of the benefits they're entitled to. Perhaps out of fear of too many hearing loss claims, quite often their employer's do not inform them of this benefit when they retire. Many think it has been too long since retirement to collect benefits, or that they might not be able to collect because the place they worked is out of business. This is not the case in Wisconsin.
When considering if you may qualify for Worker's Compensation for hearing loss remember: 1) One must have worked in a noisy employment situation in Wisconsin. 2) One may not file a claim for hearing loss until you leave the workplace noise for any reason, such as: retirement, lay-off, or change of position or career. 3) One must have a compensable hearing loss. A sensorineural hearing loss as mild as 30-35 decibels could be compensable if one stopped working within the last 12 years. 4) Funds may also available for those who worked in noise longer than 12 years ago, should the hearing loss be severe enough. 5) It could take from 6 12 months or longer to finalize a worker's compensation case for hearing loss.
If you think you may have a work related hearing loss contact a Hearing Health Professional to schedule a hearing test to determine your eligibility. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Attorney Douglas Johnson of Johnson Law Offices specializes in Worker's Compensation for hearing loss only. You may reach him at www.hearlosshelp.net or by calling toll-free 1-800-400-5765 or 608-882-6571.
If you are reading this and are not from Wisconsin, or were employed out of the state, you will have to check with a Worker's Compensation Specialist in your state to find out how your state handles hearing loss claims.

E3 2011: Mass Effect 3
QUICKTAKE: Earning "Game of the Year" accolades was, apparently, not enough for the Mass Effect 2 team. Mass Effect 3 builds upon the foundation of the last game with improved cover and combat mechanics, larger scale battles, and more thorough character customization. A new lighting system and larger environments makes the finale of the intergalactic trilogy seem that much more ambitious and impactful.
THE DEMO: The demo showcased various action vignettes, running off an Xbox 360 system. In the first, Shepard and crew are being chased by a towering geth thing, and Shepard tries frantically to command a turret in an attempt to destroy it. An air raid gets called in, stalling the behemoth, but it continues its rampage. Mass Effect 3 is an action game at its heart, and BioWare intends on being competitive in the genre.
The improvements made to the game's standard run-and-gun formula showcase this. Moving from cover to cover has been completely overhauled, giving Shepard the ability to move through the environment much more nimbly. He'll be able to roll to dodge oncoming fire and when he gets close, he'll be able to use a laser sword in contextual finishing animations. The final part of the demo takes place on Earth, and reminds us how dire Shepard's final adventure will be.
DETAILS: BioWare tells us that they're trying to improve both the action and RPG elements of Mass Effect 3. However, very little was demonstrated on how the RPG aspect would be deepened. We caught a brief glimpse at an enhanced weapons station for Shepard and crew to choose their loadouts. In addition to choosing weapons, it appears you can also customize individual components of each of your weapons. Unlike in the original Mass Effect, the experience is far more visual. You'll see a full 3D representation of your weapon laid out on the table, and you can see which components get swapped in.
Improved character customization was also promised, and hinted at. In the Squad subsection of the Pause menu, you'll once again be able to assign points to various attributes. However, ME3 features a new twist: once you select an ability, you can choose between multiple effects, branching the abilities of your character. ME1 allowed some branching as well, but there are seemingly more options this time around.
While BioWare is promising deeper RPG mechanics, the purpose of the E3 demo was clearly to showcase the enhanced combat. Now that he's able to run, move from cover to cover, and roll with relative ease, Commander Shepard could easily join Delta Squad from Gears of War. New enemies, like one that carries a physical shield, encourage players to move around the environment to flank and gain the upper hand. The ready availability of grenades only further cements Mass Effect 3's transition into a full shooter.
Purists may be wary of the action-heavy direction of the franchise, but it's potentially the end of all living things in the universe! The visuals do a great job of reflecting the stakes at hand. The environments are a lot bigger than before, letting you see vistas that stretch far into the distance. Perhaps this is necessary to accommodate for the size of some of the enemies in the game, some which tower many stories high.
Not only are the environments bigger, they're a lot prettier. BioWare promised tweaks to the engine while working on the PS3 port of Mass Effect 2, and the results of their efforts is immediately evident in Mass Effect 3. One of the most striking elements of the game is the new lighting system. It is a very bright game, with super-saturated visuals reminiscent of the recent Star Trek reboot. The effect is quite jarring, making for a quite dramatic look for the franchise's last act.
The environments are a lot more destructive, as well. The final part of the demo took place on Earth and suffice it to say, the situation did not look good for humanity. As Shepard attempts to escape the planet, his path gets destroyed by a Geth laser. To make his way past the debris, we saw one of Shepard's new abilities in the game: he can jump, likely automatically (a la Zelda). We saw some mild platforming as he attempted to flag down the Normandy.
From what I've seen so far, Mass Effect 3 looks to be an exciting, fitting end for the franchise. I'm especially looking forward to seeing the ramifications of my decisions from the first two games. Even in the demo, I saw how some rather major arcs might end. (Don't worry, I won't spoil anything for you.) Seeing so many familiar faces return for the final act, with many fighting alongside Shepard, has me looking forward to Mass Effect 3's release on March 6, next year.

Wizards Jason Collins, First openly gay NBA player
Jason Collins, who finished out this season with the Washington Wizards, has come out as the first openly gay player still active in the NBA. Collins, a center, has also played for the Boston Celtics, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Jersey Nets, Atlanta Hawks, and Memphis Grizzlies.
Jason Collins becomes the first male professional athlete in the major four American sports leagues to come out as gay.
Collins wrote a first-person account posted Monday on Sports Illustrated's website. The 34-year-old Collins has played for six NBA teams in 12 seasons. He is now a free agent. He said he wants to continue playing.
NBA Commissioner David Stern issued a statement saying: "As Adam Silver and I said to Jason, we have known the Collins family since Jason and Jarron joined the NBA in 2001 and they have been exemplary members of the NBA family. Jason has been a widely respected player and teammate throughout his career and we are proud he has assumed the leadership mantle on this very important issue."
The Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin issued a statement saying, "With his brave and honest announcement today, Jason Collins has forever changed the face of sports. No longer will prejudice and fear force gay athletes to remain silent about a fundamental part of their lives. By coming out and living openly while still an active NBA player, Collins has courageously shown the world that one's sexual orientation is no longer an impediment to achieving one's goals, even at the highest levels of professional sports.
"Jason Collins' commitment to living openly is a monumental step forward toward greater equality and he immediately becomes a role model for youth all across this country. His actions today tell LGBT young people that what will define our success in life is our character and dedication, not our sexual orientation. At a moment when millions are reflecting on the life and legacy of Jackie Robinson, Jason Collins is a hero for our own times.
"Today's announcement again shows that gay Americans are our teachers, police officers, nurses, lawyers and even our professional athletes. We contribute to every aspect of our American community and deserve the same equal rights as every American."
White House spokesman Jay Carney called that decision courageous. He said the White House supports Collins.
"We view that as another example of the progress that has been made and the evolution that has been taking place in this country," Carney said.
New York City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who is running for mayor, issued a statement saying Collins is opening a door for all other athletes.
"But let's think about something else: there will be a day soon when a young boy or a young girl is sitting watching the NBA finals or the Super Bowl or the World Series," Quinn said. "What Jason did today is literally going to save lives. Because the greatest athletes -- who are children's heroes more than athletes? -- are also LGBT and it's okay.

My baby was due September 17, 2010. I delivered him on June 3, 2010 and he died shortly after his birth. And somehow, in this very small window, it seems as if all my girlfriends decided to jump on the baby train. The topper was my sister sending me a text message that she's pregnant. It seems like no one around me understands.
I have sent friends individual messages explaining my situation and wishing them luck in their pregnancies. I have also explained that, given the circumstances, it is difficult for me to be around them. In addition to that, I sent mutual friends messages asking them to do me the favor of filtering information about babies and pregnancies (mass emails, Facebook postings, pictures, etc) while I mourn for my son. So far I have received no messages back. Everyone seems to be steering clear of me. I'm no longer the "fun friend." I'm just the "lady who lost a baby and is a bit of a bummer these days."
I understand that people may not know how to deal with being around a friend who has experienced a recent hardship. I understand that people may have a hard time trying to console others. I get that. But to not even say, "I understand, take your time." Or "I'm not sure what to do or say, but I'm here." Instead, all I get is people ignoring me or staying away from me.
To add insult to injury, my mom sent me a picture text message last night of my nephew. my only nephew who is 18 months old, and whose baby pictures mimic my son's face. I know she sent it to show me how cute he is. But how clueless can she be? My own mother. She may as well have said: hey, here's what your son could have looked like. Too bad he's in a box.
I like to thing I have been adjusting to the loss of my son well. But throw me a bone here. I appreciate this forum because I know it is full of moms like me who truly understand. I wish I could find that comfort in my own everyday life.

It was at Steve's Furniture and Appliances in Detroit near the border of Grosse Pointe Park where Bob Bashara allegedly ordered a jail house hit on Joe Gentz, the man who claims he killed Jane Bashara and his former boss, Bob, hired him to do it."The evidence is going to show that he was set up," said David Griem.Or was he? We've learned behind the store's walls Bob Bashara sought out the owner, Steve, to come up with a plan to kill Gentz in jail, but Steve went to the authorities. Sources say the two would meet a few times over a two week period this month. Steve would act as the middle man. Bashara would eventually pay him $2,000 to get the job done, someone behind bars to take Gentz out, but what Bashara did not know, he was being recorded."This particular charge is going to all revolve around the credibility of the individual who went to Bob Bashara and set him up," Griem said.Steve the owner told us off camera he isn't ready to comment. He pulled away not ready to talk about his role in this case.It's vindication for Gentz, according to his attorney, who claims he has feared Bashara all along."That was one of the reasons he went to the police because he thought that Bob Bashara was capable of having him killed. He has the finances. He has the wherewithal to do it," said Susan Reed, Gentz's attorney.Bashara is considered a person of interest in his wife's murder, but it's the solicitation of murder charge that has now landed him behind bars. His bond was set at $15-million after the prosecution argued he's threatened his mother-in-law, his former girlfriend Rachel Gillette and now his own tenants."He'd throw their [expletive] out of their apartment complex if they dared to talk to the police and tell them about his involvement with Rachel Gillette, so several witnesses in this case have been contacted by Mr. Bashara and told they are not to cooperate with the police and they felt intimidated by him," assistant prosecutor Lisa Lindsey said at Bashara's arraignment."I believe he's an erratic person. I don't believe he's someone that can control his temperament or emotions, and from what I've seen, he may not be a danger to the general population, but he is a danger to my client," Reed said."Bob Bashara is innocent. Bob Bashara is going to get his day in court, and we're going to do our very best to see that Bob Bashara walks out of those courtroom doors with us," said Griem.The prosecution claims Bashara actually went to a second person to have Gentz killed. Reed says she's not aware of that, but that her client is relieved that Bashara is behind bars and at a different jail than him.Meanwhile, Griem says Bashara won't be able to make that $15-million cash surety bond, so for now he will remain behind bars.

I love Everybody Hates Chris. Chris Rock is so funny. I love watching him do stand up, too.
Y'all talking about your husbands working more than one job make me smile at the American work ethic. My husband complains when he has to work more than 38 hours a week. Lol. That's one of the reasons we'll probably never live in the USA. I don't think he could adjust to the work expectations over there. I've become used to European ways, too, though!

HUE is a WINNER!!!
Bought a starter kit plus 3 individual bulbs today. Took 10 minutes to set up. I had to convince the "geniuses" at the local Apple Bought a starter kit plus 3 individual bulbs today. Took 10 minutes to set up. I had to convince the "geniuses" at the local Apple Store that HUE really existed. They went online, discovered it did, went in the back room, found and sold them. No one had asked about them before I walked in.
They assured me I could return them in 14 days, so I decided to try them. Hue and the free App is amazing! Download your own pic. Touch it to turn on the lights. Group anyway you want, dim independently, color control independently.
If you turn off the wall switch, the bulbs forget where they were. Turn the switch back on, and the bulbs turn on to default approx. 3000 degrees K. Then touch any mood you set up on the iPhone, and it instantly changes colors & intensity.
We have a 50's Diner designed kitchen with black / white tile, red wall tile, red neon accents, so touch the 50's Diner photo, and 4 bulbs come on, 2 red and 2 whatever temp white you choose. Halloween? Orange no problem. Christmas? Red and Green.
1-A must if you are really into home automation, home theatre, etc.
2-Extremely high quality feel bulb design
3-Bulbs run barely warm and draw 8.5 watts max
4-Super easy to use
5-No need to use your iPhone. Set the onboard timer function for on / off. Gives that lived in look, and no need to turn on / off every time.
6-Full dimming capability
7-Default to Warm White (looks like 3000 degree K) if power fails and comes back on
8-No high frequency sound, no flicker, no RFI interference
9-Instantly group able and groups can be changed instantly
10-Philips is a leader in LED technology. I have over 100 Philips LED bulbs in service for over a year, with no failures. yet, Lights of America and other off brands have failed 100% in a year! The electronics fail, not the LED's themselves in the off brands.
11-Touch a pic of the room to turn the lights on.
12-Set a different background pic for every page of moods.
13-Set a page up for every room. This groups the bulbs to a scene in that room by choosing the specific page on the iPhone.
2-Only medium Base available today. I need Candelabra base and need R30
3-600 Lumen output is a little low but is OK
These bulbs are NOT going back!!! Wife loves them, as do I. 'Nuff said!!! …

If I had only purchased HUE first (and not wasted $ on Lifx)
I am very pleased with my Hue starter kit. My only regret is that I wasted a ton of money purchasing Lifx bulbs prior to purchasin I am very pleased with my Hue starter kit. My only regret is that I wasted a ton of money purchasing Lifx bulbs prior to purchasing a Hue starter pack. Hue is everything that Lifx promised to be and unfortunately, Lifx failed to deliver! I use one Hue bulb on the porch, and have an "alarm" set for the bulb to turn on around dusk and turn off at dawn. In addition, I have the other two bulbs in my living room, which we use on a variety of settings depending on the activity (e.g., Relaxation mode, dimmed for movie night, reading mode, etc). I have the bulbs set up so that if it is after dark and the bulbs are not already on, they detect my arrival within the neighborhood and turn on the lights at home. With regard to setup, I had no difficulty setting up the bulbs and so far (after several months of use) I have not had any issues. In the future, I will purchase bulbs for other parts of the house as well. Thank you Hue! …

Amazing! Worth every dollar!
I actually held off buying Philips Hue due to the price. But after realizing that the bulbs last beyond a decade and that they act I actually held off buying Philips Hue due to the price. But after realizing that the bulbs last beyond a decade and that they actually do more than just light (it can be art, design, a conversation piece, etc - for those who take pride in having a nice home) your home. I bought the starter pack recently and a few of the light strips and other accessories... I had everything setup in under 30 minutes flawlessly, including linking to the iOS apps. I must say, I love these lights. Its effortless to use, creates amazing colours and scenes in your home; can help you relax after work or make a movie or music more exciting with connected lights. I love waking up to the sunrise scene in my bedroom, just one of many, many uses.
If you do care about having a nice home and lighting plays a big part of that, I'd completely and totally recommend Hue. You won't regret it. I can't wait to see what they bring out next as part of the Hue line. …

Deceptive advertising, does not produce all colors
The bulbs have very poor available color space. They won't do royal blue, powder blue or forest green. The best approximations the The bulbs have very poor available color space. They won't do royal blue, powder blue or forest green. The best approximations they can come up with are violet and lime green. White light is good, but there are cheaper alternatives on the market for that. I did not encounter loss of connection or other technical issues like those reported by many posters, but again I returned the product immediately. As far as I am concerned if I invest 400$ in 6 RGB bulbs they should have perfect color mapping and all the software issues should have been worked out. …

Every day, more photos are taken with iPhone than any other camera. That's because so much thinking has gone into the iSight camera. So anyone anywhere can take an amazing photo. At any time.Watch the iSightCamera video
What makes the iSight camera so remarkable is how beautiful photos look without you having to do anything at all. Just aim and shoot. That's it. iPhone knows the best setting to use and how intense the flash should be, and it automatically recognises faces in the frame. All because of the advanced technologies custom designed for the camera's hardware and software. It just makes more sense to teach iPhone how to take a great picture rather than teach people how to be expert photographers.
The new iSight camera on iPhone 5s builds on the iPhone 5 camera in ways that make a real difference to your photos. It captures beautiful images at 8 megapixels. What makes them beautiful is a redesigned camera sensor that allows for bigger pixels. Bigger pixels equal better photos. And better photos are precisely what inspired the advancements we made with the new iSight camera on iPhone 5s.
Light is one of the most important factors in getting a great photo. Not just how well your subject is lit, but how sensitive your camera's sensor is to light. Here's how it works: a camera's sensor — and the pixels on it — collect light. The larger the sensor and the larger the pixels, the more light is collected. And that translates to better, brighter images with truer colours and less noise.
iPhone 5s features a state-of-the-art sensor that increases the area available for pixels by 15 per cent, and yet it still fits inside the incredibly thin iPhone. The pixels are larger too — 1.5 microns, to be exact. We also bumped up the size of the camera aperture. Now it's at ƒ/2.2 to let in even more light. All in all, the iSight camera on iPhone 5s features an impressive 33 per cent increase in light sensitivity. And that means you get amazing-looking photos every time.
The new True Tone flash gives the iSight camera capabilities that are a first for any smartphone. It's made up of two LEDs, one white and one amber. But they don't simply fire in tandem. When you take a picture with the flash enabled, the iSight camera uses software algorithms to assess the colour temperature of the scene. That allows iPhone 5s to determine just the right percentage and intensity of white light vs. amber light you need — using over 1,000 unique combinations. The result is a beautiful shot with more true-to-life colours. Not too cool. Not too warm. Better highlights. More natural-looking skin tones. And the same goes for the iSight videos you record.
For some shots, speed makes all the difference. The faster, more powerful A7 chip in iPhone 5s includes a new image signal processor (ISP). Because it's designed by Apple, the ISP is integrated with the iSight hardware and camera software, delivering faster photo capture and up to 2x faster autofocus.*
The ISP and faster sensor also make burst mode possible, which is great when your subject is in motion. Burst mode continuously captures 10 photos per second, letting you take hundreds of images so you don't miss a moment. Intelligent software algorithms work behind the scenes to analyse all the shots in real time, comparing sharpness and clarity and even detecting when someone's eyes are closed. Then iPhone suggests individual photos or a sequence of photos that you might like best.
Burst mode is also ideal for capturing an entire action sequence. So go ahead and shoot your friend's "switch-frontside 1080 double cork" from jump to landing. Then use your photos to tell the story.
Motion blur and hand shakiness happen. And often you end up deleting what could have been a great photo. Auto image stabilisation helps avoid that. It works by taking four photos with a short exposure time. Then the best parts of those photos are combined into one image with as little noise, subject motion and hand shake as possible.
With one sweeping motion, the panorama feature lets you capture a single epic shot. Shoot something with varying light, like the sun setting over a cliff, and iPhone 5s automatically adjusts the exposure for highlights and shadows while you pan. It also photographs the scene at an impressive 30 frames per second — that's 50 per cent faster than with iPhone 5.
The iSight is an amazing still camera. And it's every bit as amazing when it comes to video. Capture moments in stunning 1080p HD. Take still photos as you record. Add a bit of awesomeness with a slow-motion effect. Whatever you shoot, you can bet it'll be anything but boring.
When you watch a video in slow motion, it feels infinitely more exciting. Whether it's a snowboarder landing a jump or a dog chasing its tail, slow-motion video cranks up the drama and, sometimes, the humour. The slo-mo feature on iPhone 5s lets you capture video at 120 frames per second in 720p. When you've finished, select the portion you want to slow down, and that clip plays back at quarter speed. You can change which part is in slow motion at any time, and even share it with your friends.
The pinch-to-zoom technique you use when taking pictures now works when recording video. iOS 7 on iPhone 5s gives you the ability to zoom in on your subject — up to 3x — as you're recording. So you can put the emphasis just where you want it.
The Camera app in iOS 7 gives you more ways to capture your favourite moments. And the Photos app makes it easier — and more fun — to see all of them.
Camera in iOS 7 puts all your shooting formats — still, panorama, square, video and slo-mo — front and centre. With a swipe, you can capture what you want the way you want. Eight Apple-designed filters let you get even more creative. Pick a filter and see it live before you take the shot. Or apply it after. If you change your mind later and decide no filter is the best filter, just remove it. Artistic licence is all yours.
Moments, Collections and Years — smart groupings of your photos and videos based on time and place — make it faster, easier and more delightful to scroll down memory lane. In Collections, you'll find, say, your trip to California. And in your California Collection are distinct Moments — Hollywood Boulevard, San Francisco Bay and Yosemite National Park. When you really need to go back in time, tap the Year view and prepare to be amazed. Every photo and video you've ever taken fills your screen in a mosaic that's almost like artwork.Learn more about iOS 7
iCloud lets you share your favourite moments with your favourite people when you create a shared stream. With iOS 7, friends and family can post their own photos, videos and comments to your streams, and it all appears on everyone's iOS devices — automatically. Videos can be up to five minutes long and viewed in up to 720p HD. And to see the latest updates from all your shared streams, just check out the Activity view in Photos.Learn more about iCloud

By Alicia Lutes, Hollywood.com Staff
Well, if you were looking to Katie Couric to get the whole truth (and nothing but the truth) on the ongoing mega-saga that is Manti Te'o's fake girlfriendhoax, I'm sorry to say, prepare to be sorely disappointed and increasingly confused. The veteran news reporter scored the first on-camera, sit-down interview with Notre Dame's Manti Te'o earlier in the week, which aired on her syndicated show, Katie, Thursday afternoon on ABC. Sure, a better timeline was constructed, but the web of lies continues to leave those listening flummoxed and highly skeptical about where the real story is and if we'll ever hear it.
Couric tried her best to serve several hardball questions at Te'o, but his answers only continued to confuse making the whole thing an even harder mess to understand. But that didn't stop Couric from following up on her skepticism (which at times felt comically vaudevillian in nature). To be fair, it must be hard to keep an unbiased tone in the face of such a red flag-ridden, rambling story.
Dressed in the sort of outfit you'd see high school athletes wear on game day khaki slacks and a striped cardigan Te'o's tale unfolded slowly throughout the hour. But instead of giving us answers, he only raised more questions. So we've compiled those questions for you, here.
When did former college football quarterback from the Oregon State Beavers, Lyle Moevao, get involved?Te'o explained that the two were friends that talked ""through Facebook"" can he be trusted?Was he also duped by Lennay Kekua, or was he in on the hoax with Ronaiah?Does Te'o know that Santa isn't real, either? [SPOILER ALERT]How many and which friends of his confirmed Lennay was real? Were they also in on the hoax?Does Te'o have any friends in real life that aren't on the Internet or in on this hoax?Does Te'o understand why it looks like he's also in on the hoax?How could someone who alleged skepticism from the get-go let a relationship where he never met or spoke to the person via video chat, let this ruse go on for four years?Do we need to require a Common Sense 101 seminar for all college freshman now?How many times did Te'o try to FaceTime with Lennay before he gave up trying?Why would he ever give up trying?When it came to attempting to see Lennay after her accident (when she was allegedly in the hospital) on his way back home to Hawaii, why didn't he just change his plane ticket?Why was he scared to broach the subject with his parents? Why did he think, when they are so clearly understanding and supportive of their son and his relationship, that they wouldn't be OK with him changing his flight to see his girlfriend who just nearly died?Seriously, did he really believe that his parents wouldn't let him come home from school a few hours later in order to briefly visit his girlfriend, who was in a coma, in the hospital when they all knew he supposedly loved her?Does Te'o really know what love is, if he gave up that easily on seeing the love of his life?Does Te'o still not see why this story looks like a total cover-up and complete horses**t?HOW IN THE WORLD did he let her come to Hawaii and get away with not seeing her? Why didn't he just go to the hotel himself?Does Te'o actually know what a respirator sounds like?Why keep a voicemail of a girl giving you s**t for having another girl answer his phone?If there was no possible way this could've happened, why didn't he call Lennay out for being delusional and cut things off there?How is Manti Te'o so understanding of such elaborate stories?Did he ever ask Lennay, after she confessed to being alive but hiding from drug dealers who were after her, why she lied about the cancer?Wouldn't that sort of freak a guy out? Didn't he think how insane that was?Did Te'o ever question her, then, about the sounds of her breathing, the story of the nurses' discussing her heart rate, and that damn respiratory machine?WHY? HOW? WHATDoes Te'o really believe this s**t he's tryin' to sell?Does Te'o realize how scripted the following quote sounds? Is this still all part of some script? ""The greatest joy in any child's life is to make your parents proud, and the greatest pain is to know they're experiencing pain because of you.""Does Te'o know the term ""crocodile tears""?Did Te'o question Lennay as to WHY it took her from December 6 to December 21 to take a f**king web cam photo of her with a sign?Seriously, though. That's like, 15 days.Why even bring up Lennay at all during the Heisman Trophy stuff, when he knew something was amiss? Why not just say ""no comment""?How far from gay is ""far from it,"" Te'o?Does Katie Couric believe anything this guy just said?Why didn't Te'o immediately cease all contact with Lennay after she mysteriously returned? Because I'd be all, 'b**ch, peace!'How gullible is Manti Te'o, if this bizarre story is actually somehow real?WHERE THE F**K IS RONAIAH TUIASOSOPO? WHY WON'T HE SPEAK OUT?Why does a college football sensation at arguably one of the most football-obsessed schools in the country have to resort to dating a girl online?Are you sure this isn't just an elaborate bearding scheme for a secret romantic relationship with Tuiasosopo, Te'o? (It's OK, you can level with us!)It sure is an interesting coincidence that Lennay is one letter away from Lenny, don't you think?So what is it, Te'o? Are you gay or are you just dumb and gullible? Out with it.
Miss the Couric interview? Check out the voicemails below and see if you think the voice on the other end could be a guy.
In the end, there are far more questions than there are answers, and it seems to me that we're in for a long, drawn-out speculation over what is real and what isn't in the Te'o story. What do you think is the truth? We want to hear your theories in the comments!
