Best iPhone 5 battery cases (so far)
If you need a battery pack case for your iPhone 5 right now, you have three choices (so far.) Mophie's Juice Pack Air and Juice Pack Helium, and the PowerSkin. We like the Air the best.
*The "so far" headline on this piece means that it's not the typical kind of piece we do at The Wirecutter. It means it is a work in progress, largely because the category is still moving quickly. We just went ahead and wrote down what we found and thought because it might be helpful if you need to buy something sooner than later.*
Why a battery case?
Our pick
The Helium looks good on paper, but has been reviewed with lukewarm reception due to its underwhelming charging capacity (it can only get you 75% of a full charge). The Air, which is just a slightly bigger and thicker version of the Helium, has been assessed by a few publications and said to be be slightly better than the Helium. We also spent a few days with the yet-to-be-reviewed PowerSkin and were not impressed. Its silicone exterior is prone to sliding around and its 1500mAh batter is no better than the Helium's.
With those caveats in mind, we'd get the Air, because it's not that much thicker and if you're going to lug a case, you might as well get one that can juice you up beyond the 75% offered by the Helium. Or you can wait, but judging by previous generations of their sturdy battery packs, Mophie is near the top of the heap when it comes to battery cases, so I don't really see any harm in going for a battery case now.
The Mophies work the same way: they come in two pieces, slide on to the iPhone 5 on the bottom and the top, and, when needed, can be turned on to charge the iPhone as if it were plugged in to the wall.
For both models, on the back, when you depress a small button, four indicator lights tell you how much charge is left in the case. The Helium's shell has an open space on the side for the silence and volume buttons, and an opening for the sleep/wake button on top. This makes the buttons a bit difficult to find and depress, especially if you have small hands and factoring in the added girth to the iPhone. The Air has button covers, which is a feature I value in an iPhone case.
Back to the Mophies' construction. The bottom line is, protection is secondary, but their plastic will still offer some degree of protection from minor scratches and falls.
With all three models, you lose some peripheral functionality. Where the Lightning port on the phone would be, there's a micro-USB outlet instead. This lets you charge both the case and the iPhone at the same time, but you lose the ability to sync with a cable. This isn't a big deal if you use iCloud and Wi-Fi for most of your syncing needs, but can get annoying if you prefer hardwired syncing for big transfers of music, video, and/or photos. That said, micro-USB cables are a lot easier to come across than lightning connectors so that can be a nice perk in a pinch.
Because all the ports are on the bottom of the iPhone 5, the headphone jack sits in a deep, narrow recess in the case. Thankfully, Mophie includes a headphone extender cable, but you'll need to carry it around if you want to use it for impromptu music playing. Since speakers now are going wireless, and you can just attach the extender to your favorite headphones when you keep them in your pocket, we don't see this being too big of an issue, but it's something to consider depending your personal preferences.
That said, these types of cases are designed with a specific type of user in mind, so unless these sound like worthy sacrifices for an extra 70 to 80 percent of battery life, read on.
The Juice Pack Helium and the Juice Pack Air do the same thing and look almost identical, but there are some key differences. Namely size, battery life, weight, and cost. The Air adds some ignorable heft and $20 in exchange for 200 mAh more power.
We say go for the Air. The extra battery life is worth the extra $20.
The caveats are, yeah, this is a $100 iPhone battery case.
And there are only a few credible reviews of the Air as of yet. However, as shown above, the specs indiciate minor differences between the two, so we can expect the Air to work similarly to the Helium — that is, exactly as advertised, but with a bit less charging capability than claimed.
Who else likes it?
MacWorld was the first to review of the Air, and they love it — it earned 4.5 out of 5 mice. Lex Friedman says, "The Juice Pack Air case doubles your iPhone 5's battery life, fits well, looks good, and is a pleasure to use." He complained about the headphone jack being deeply recessed, but that's an issue you'll likely find with all iPhone 5 battery cases. Most importantly, the Air impressed him much more than the Helium, particularly because the side buttons on the phone are built into the case. That, along with the extra battery life, make the Air better than the Helium.
Dan Seifert at the Verge recently took both Mophies for a spin and confirmed that the Air is the way to go: "Frankly, it's a no-brainer to me: the Juice Pack Air is the one to get if you are looking for a battery case for the iPhone 5. I'm not really sure why the Helium exists — the size and weight difference between the two cases is practically imperceptible, and if you are going to use a battery case that bulks up your phone, you might as well get as much extra capacity as possible."
Nick Guy's esteemed colleague over at iLounge, Jeremy Horowitz liked it as well, giving it a solid B rating citing its high price tag as its major drawback.
Reviews of the Helium range from lukewarm to high praise. Dissapointment in the case's charge capacity is the main complaint. I'm skeptical of the reviews that love it because there is no peer to which they can have compared the Helium's performance, and each reviewer's positive feedback comes from their personal reception to how practical the Helium is for their personal style. Again, think about whether this kind of device will help you so much that it's worth the trade-offs.
iLounge tested the Helium and found that the claimed numbers don't match up to their findings: "This capacity falls below every other iPhone 5 battery case announced so far, and our real-world testing suggests that Helium doesn't quite match the 80% claim. Regardless of whether our test iPhone 5 was fully discharged or at 18% capacity, Helium delivered only a 65%-67% recharge, in each case with the iPhone 5 doing little more than sitting unused during the one-hour time required for recharging." They gave it a B rating.
MacWorld had a similar reaction and gave it a 3.5 mice out of 5. Reviewer Lex Friedman will be holding out for something better: " If you need a battery case for the iPhone 5, this is my choice—for now, anyway. (I'm still holding out hope for a Juice Pack Pro II.)"
Gizmodo had the same mentality and reviewed the Helium in terms of personal preference and usability rather than its quality as compared to its peers. Peter Ha said, "It boils down to preference: Do you want a battery case or would you rather tote around a Lightning cable/power cube combo or an external battery plus cable?"
PC Advisor, on the other hand, gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars. They were less critical of the power output in the Helium: "While Mophie claims the 1,500mAh battery case will boost your fading iPhone with an 80 percent charge, in our real-world tests we got between 70 and 75 percent – still good enough to get you to the next charging opportunity." PC Mag was similarly impressed: "The Juice Pack Helium is one of the first iPhone 5 battery cases available, and it sets the bar high. In our tests, it extended the iPhone's battery by more than 6 hours, boosting the overall battery life to 15 hours total—plenty to get most heavy users through the day." Again, both instances of high praise, it seems to us, are based largely on the fact that there's no competition yet.
The competition
The only other competitor at this time is the yet-to-be-reviewed PowerSkin. We spent some time with it and were not impressed. Whereas the Mophies use a solid two-part separating design, the PowerSkin has a unibody rubber-like design with a small lightning plug on the bottom and the upper part of the case slides over the top of the phone. Unfortunately the silicone material slides all over the place. Very annoying. It also makes the sleep/wake button difficult to reach. All this might be acceptable if it offered better performance, but it's matched by the Helium in battery capacity, beaten in that regard by the Air, and loses to both in the build quality arena. For now, we're ready to rule out the PowerSkin.
Amazon is full of obscure brands with iPhone 5 battery cases, but we'd discourage it. Nick Guy, iPhone case guru at iLounge, and best iPhone/iPad case reviewer in the world, explained it to me: "In terms of iPhone 5 battery cases, what we've seen so far has been really limited. Of course Mophie has Helium and now Air, but those are the only two official, licensed, actual cases that seem to be shipping." As for the no-name brand models selling online, he says, "I'm 99.9% certain none of them are licensed. I think in general it's better to stick with something that won't potentially stop working…but then again, you can get some good deals and get them now." We wouldn't gamble $70 on an unlicensed model.
Wrapping it up
We'll be researching and reviewing iPhone 5 battery pack cases as they become available, but for now, if your needs fit the criteria we've outlined, the Juice Pack Air is a good buy.
Mophie Juice Pack Air and Helium: the extra battery life your iPhone 5 desperately needs, The Verge, April 8, 2013,As with the Helium, my tests with the Air didn't quite match Mophie's claims — a full charge from zero brought the iPhone to about 80 percent full — but it kept me off an outlet the entire day, and even into the next day if I played my cards right.
, 4.5 out of 5: "Where the Juice Pack Air differs notably from the Helium is with the way it deals with the iPhone's side-mounted controls. While the Helium (like the Juice Pack Air for the iPhone 4 and 4S) uses cutouts around the iPhone's buttons and controls, the new Juice Pack Air (like the old Juice Pack Plus) instead employs button overlays: Tiny buttons built into the case cover the volume and Sleep/Wake buttons, and a pass-through switch activates the phone's Ring/Silent switch. I prefer this approach, as I find the Helium's cutouts make using the controls a bit of a hassle."
, "Just as we said with Helium, Air is thoughtfully engineered and generally appealing, but it's not excellent for its $100 price. The $20 premium buys you button protection, 13% more battery power, and different color options, collectively enough to sway some Mophie fans upwards from an $80 Helium purchase, while justifying the same general recommendation Helium received. That said, $100 is a lot of money to pay for a less than complete iPhone 5 recharge, and there will soon be plenty of options with more power and lower prices. You'll need to decide for yourself whether Juice Pack Air's design, size, and protection compromises are appealing enough to justify its expense."
, "Mophie is positioning Helium as a thinner and more refined sequel to earlier Juice Packs, rather than as the most powerful or affordable battery case around. On paper, it seems anemic for its asking price: there's only a 1500mAh battery inside, which only promises to refuel an iPhone 5 to 80% of its initial capacity."
, "Though the case is indeed thinner than previous Mophie battery cases, that advantage is mostly attributable to the iPhone 5's own slimmer profile. The case of course adds heft and weight to the iPhone 5, but not uncomfortably so."
, "The case itself doesn't allow for pass-through data sync, so if you don't already, you better start thinking about backing up and syncing over Wi-Fi if you decide to buy this."
, Eugene Kim, PC Mag, Mophie Juice Pack Helium, 4 out of 5: "The Juice Pack Helium is one of the first iPhone 5 battery cases available, and it sets the bar high. In our tests, it extended the iPhone's battery by more than 6 hours, boosting the overall battery life to 15 hours total—plenty to get most heavy users through the day."

That's one reason we've launched the student-inspired "One Earth. One Bottle" campaign.
The campaign, one of several measures the university has taken to promote sustainable environmental practices on campus, is an effort to get students, faculty and staff to drink tap water instead of bottled water. Doing so will save energy and cut down on waste.
The university has purchased 2,000 stainless steel SNHU water bottles, which will be given free to students, faculty and staff members who are willing to sign a pledge not to purchase and use bottled water. The blue bottles, selected by students, carry the SNHU logo and the words "One Earth. One Bottle."
Bottles will be available at various locations and events on campus during the first week of classes and afterward through the Center for Service and Community Involvement, located in Stark Hall. (Only one bottle per person; an SNHU ID is required.) Online and on location students, faculty members and staff people with a current SNHU ID number are eligible to get a bottle as well; please email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Small changes can make a big difference. Americans used about 50 billion plastic water bottles in 2006. With a U.S. recycling rate of only 23 percent, about 38 million bottles were thrown away. It takes about 24 million gallons of oil to produce just one billion water bottles. Small steps can lead to big change. Pledging to drink tap water instead of bottled water can help cut down on waste.
Much of the world lacks access to clean water. Water should not be commoditized. Manchester has excellent water and the university has water fountains and sinks in every building, making it easy to refill.
Look for these signs at refill stations around campus:

After a long day of working construction, Brian Segur heads home to Howard Beach. He meets up with a cousin along the way and heads to the family's grocery store on 102nd Street. Segur owns it, and his little cousin is helping him to rebuild it.
"He's been going to school every day and then coming home and trying to help me," Segur said.
Matthew Saler has had a long day, too. Flood waters destroyed his high school. His temporary school is now an hour away.
"It's crazy. It's really too much," Saler said. "You make it work."
For them, the work is just beginning. They're also helping other family members to rebuild, so it's going to be a long night as they go from house to house.
The homes of Segur's other relatives were flooded, so they're all staying together.
"Nieces, nephews, sisters," Segur said. "There's 10 of us."
The kids are ready to go home, but it may take a while. There are 10 homes to fix.
"My grandmother's house, my house, my mother's house, my sister's house, and my two uncles' houses are up the block," Segur said.
Segur's brand new house was destroyed in the storm. He's trying to fix that and the grocery store in time for Christmas. His pregnant wife want to go home.
With his cousin's help, he believes he can do it. They said they won't stop until the entire family is back on their feet.

06/21/2012, Alassio, Porto Luca Ferrari
We departed San Remo in full sunshine for a motor sail that followed the Italian coast passing green mountainous terrain that met the Mediterranean. It was a very pleasant sail as after the maintenance work done in Antibes, Trilogy is now performing well and the scenery very interesting. Scattered along the coast were small towns (all with a towering steeples) and terracotta tinted hilltop medieval villages, towering viaducts for road transport, a train line that followed the contour of the waters edge and on many terraced cliffs there are large hot houses. We have read that this area produces most of the flowers for Italy.
Trilogy was set on a course for Imperia which is relatively a new town, resulting from the 1923 unification of Port Maurizio and Oneglia. Maurizio was very stylish with beaches, excellent restaurants and complete with an old town and cathedral. Oneglia, on the other hand, had a industrial feel and was known for pasta and olive oil production. The marina and was located between the two towns.
As we approached the headland of Imperia, the old town looked inviting with pastel coloured houses clustered on the promontory. The cathedral towering above old town with beach umbrellas and bathers on the beaches.
The marina at Imperia was new and had many areas unfinished, however, the work that had been completed was impressive, although, a recording of an osprey feeding her chicks bellowing out of a loudspeaker every 15 minutes was slightly annoying. We imagined its purpose was to keep the seagulls away. The marina staff were very helpful and maybe trying to justify the highest marina fees we had paid to date.
During our journey we have noted that Sundays are a day for families to have lunch in a restaurant, trattorias or pizzerias. So the crew has adopted this European ritual, and when possible, we do lunch out on a Sunday too. We worked up an appetite by first exploring the old town before deciding on where we would dine. The old town was built with a maze of ancient houses, alleys, covered passageways, silent little squares, flights of steps and arches. It was interesting watching the women hang out their washing (from their windows or balcony) to dry above the pedestrians below.
The Basilica di San Maurizio dominated the old town, however it was only one of 5 impressive churches to be seen during the day. On the waterfront was a very sweet church with fluted marble columns with intricate vaulted arches. Late in the afternoon members of the congregation dressed in various maritime uniforms accompanied a wreath out to sea, to offer it to St Anthony, the saint of the church.
Overlooking the cliff face in the old town was the Convent of Santa Chiara. It was founded in 15th century as a convent for the daughters of the local aristocracy. Later it was opened to the Order of St Francis, and from then on the nuns of the Order of St. Clare have been been living there in strict enclosure. During the day, I attended a service in this church, which was conducted by the nuns and the singing was magnificent.
The church of San Leonardo was founded in the14th century. Under the church there is a small room in which one of the first hospitals for women in Italy was opened in the 16th century.
While descending the many flights of stairs to get to the beach, I came across a small fortified door inserted into the old city wall. This doorway (circa 1560) was apparently for use in case of emergency to reach the harbour below.
As an Aussie it is hard to accept that bathers are asked to pay a fee to enter most beaches. If you wanted to sit near the water you paid 11euros for a cabin, 2.70 euros for an umbrella and 15.40 euros for two reclining chairs. That is approx $45 for a couple to have a day at the beach! The fee was reduced the further away from the water your reclining chair was located. However, despite the fee, the way the beach was set up, complete with garden furniture, coffee table, full length mirrors and pot plants, made it look like a comfortable way to enjoy a day at the beach.
On Monday, we sailed on to Alassio, but before we entered the marina we visited the Isolotto Gallinara for a swim off the back of Trilogy. This small private island is about 3 kilometres from Alassio and has a church, a castle and a tiny harbour. It is now a nature park and the swim in the sapphire blue water, along with the sea birds, made us feel as if we were in a remote part of the Italian Riviera.
Alassio is the location we plan to meet up with Garth and Ros and we are are looking forward to their company for the next 5 weeks.

06/16/2012, San Remo,Italy
We bid a fond farewell to Menton and motor sailed along the picturesque coastline taking care to exchange the French for Italian courtesy flag as we crossed into Italian waters. We were also careful to observe the correct procedures as we were exporting Trilogy from France and wanted to be sure we were not breaching the regulations in any way.
So as we approached San Remo we called the harbour master on the radio to arrange for a berth and mentioned that we were an Australian registered sailing yacht seeking customs and immigration clearance. The confusion began when the Portosole harbour master advised that we must go to the old port where the Customs authorities were located. The next call to the old port received the response that we could not come into the port but must go to Portosole and then walk around to Customs.
With our yellow Q flag flying we berthed and walked around to Customs to be told that we should be speaking with the Coast Guard. The next hour and a half was spent with three less than efficient coast guard officers while they made multiple phone calls, consulted several manuals and then called in a more senior officer.
It came as a small surprise to learn that we needed two duty stamps and we were directed to the local tobacconist shop with a handwritten note from the Coast Guard explaining what we needed. Armed with the two 14 Euro stamps and back at the Coast Guard we were then provided with a folder titled 'Costituto In Arrivo Per Il Naviglo Da Diporto' which contains photo copies of our ship's papers, passports and visas. I take this to be a transit log that we must keep for when we depart from Italian waters.
We have given up on trying to get our passports stamped after three attempts.
It also turns out that San Remo is hosting a very big sailing regatta - the 60th Anniversary Giraglia Rolex Cup - so we have been treated to the latest racing yachts ranging from the super maxi 'Alfa Romeo', now owned by a Slovenian, a maxi from Saint Petersburg, TP 52s and Swan 43s and everything in between. Friday 15th is the last day with prize giving at the San Remo Yacht Club. We were also treated to a major fireworks display which would rival our New Year's Eve celebrations in Australia.
The old town part of San Remo dates back to the Middle Ages and seems to be built like a maze of very small alley ways to confuse the barbarian pirates that hassled the region. Many buildings span these alleys to form tunnels that are so dark they need artificial light during the day.
There is also a quaint Russian orthodox church (San Basilio) which has distinctive onion shaped domes similar to it's namesake in Moscow. It was built in 1912 by Russian nobles who holidayed in San Remo before the World War.
Along the waterfront is a dedicated bicycle road that follows the original route of the coastal railway much like the rail trails in Victoria.

06/12/2012, Menton, France
Although the locals are complaining that summer is late coming, its not being reflected by the large number of boats starting to zip in and out of the marinas, competing for increasingly scarce visitors berths. After our Antibes experience we decided to start calling ahead to book a berth. Our plan, after leaving Antibes, was to ease our way to the Italian border by overnighting at Villefranche, Monaco and Menton (where we planned to clear out of France) before crossing into Italy and clearing in at San Remo.
In the event Villefranche was full, as was the marina just out side Monaco. And we were too small for Monaco itself. So we settled for an overnight stay at Beaulieu and quick cruise around the Port of Monaco enroute to Menton. Monaco from the sea looks like a rather ugly concrete jungle, but the vessels in the port were beautiful. (Susan subsequently caught the bus back to do a nostalgia return and said Monaco was much more attractive from the land.)
Our arrival in Menton was marked by the arrival of customs officials who seemed to be under the impression we had just arrived from Australia. Quick clarification and checking of our boat's papers, that we had no cigarettes or alcohol (or not much) and less than Eu10000 in cash (as if) - everything ok and they departed with apologies about the lousy summer weather!
Menton itself is a charming Italian looking (and feeling) village right on the French/Italian border. The border itself is about a kilometre from the marina - we will pass into Italy while hoisting our sails as we leave Menton. The cuisine is Italian but menus are in French - with "provencale" tacked on for cover. French and Italian are heard equally and the road signs are in both languages.
Menton has been inhabited since the paleolithic period and is the site of the "Grimaldi Man" find of modern early humans. It has been Roman and part of the Principality of Monaco, the Republic of Genoa and then later the Kingdom of Sardinia before electing in an 1860's plebescite to be French (apparently much to Garibaldi's disgust).
It was popularised by the Brits and Russians in the Victorian and Edwardian era (and still has hotels such as the Royal Westminster, Balmoral, Regency and Victoria along the waterfront). It is now mainly famous for a number of large gardens established during the Victorian period but recently staked another claim- a very large and impressive museum celebrating the life and work of the French poet, writer, artist, dramatist and film maker Jean Cocteau which opened in late 2011.
Our departure for Italy has been delayed by strong south westerlies (feels like a strong Perth sea breeze) which started to blow as we arrived and hasn't eased much for two days. But when it does we are off to San Remo (about 12 miles away) to clear into Italy.

06/09/2012, Port de Beaulieu
We have been in Antibes for 12 days. As Antibes is a major yachting port we decided to stay longer than usual for Trilogy to have her first service and maintenance attended to before exiting France.
We also used the waiting time to take a day trip by bus to Nice (and home by train). Nice is the heart of the French Riviera and after Marseille it is the second largest city on the French Mediterranean coast and the fifth largest in France. We wandered around the impressive new city centre, the old town and inside a 17th century palais. We strolled along the Anglais Promenade, where we puzzled how the sunbathers could possibly be comfortable on the stony beach (no sand in sight), climbed the high point (once a fort) and looked down on a quaint old working harbour that somehow coexists with the tourist yachts and ocean liners. Nice certainly was nice!
We also continued exploring the old town of Antibes. You will see in the photo gallery an ancient lavarie where the women gathered to wash clothes, old 17th century towers and many tiny alleys that ooze with character.
In one of the old streets I discovered the meeting place for the local Rotary Club, which I attended last Monday. Once behind the big old door I stepped into a beautiful courtyard where the dinner meeting was held under the stairs. The entree was a slice of black pudding pizza, followed by veal liver steak plus mash and an apricot tart for dessert. Before and during the meal, wine was served and they finished the night with a shot of limioni.
We have also enjoyed the work of sculptor designer Sylvain Subervie who had many of his pieces displayed around the Port of Antibes for the Classic yacht regatta. It was interesting for me to become familiar with the different classes for old yachts; vintage (built before 1950), Classic (built before 1976) and Spirit of Tradition and Metre Classes.
While in Antibes we spent half the time berthed in the marina and the other half anchoring in a gorgeous bay that had old Antibes as the backdrop (fabulous when lit at night) and a sandy beach with pontoon where we could safely secure the dinghy when going ashore. I particularly enjoyed the anchoring off shore, as it meant several swims off the back of the yacht. It was a pleasure to give Trilogy a clean around the waterline. A good workout and lots of fun.
Also in Antibes Rick purchased a folding bike (plus basket) which is an Orbea made in Finland with 20-inch wheels and six speed gears. It folds up quite easily and fits in our huge bow locker.
Finally, finally, finally, the Beneteau maintenance and repairs are completed and we are ready to depart for Beaulieu-sur-Mer which is not far from Monaco.
06/03/2012, Antibes, France
We arrived at Antibes after a short motor sail from Cannes and listened to the Antibes Capitainerie (Harbour Master) tell each yacht that radioed to request a berth in the marina, that it was full. As we needed urgent repairs to our bowthruster and generator we decided to approach them personally to seek assistance. This was met with staunch resistance as the biggest regatta in Antibes for classic yachts was due to start and all available space was committed.
However we eventually persuaded a kindly mature age gentleman in the Harbour Police to let us raft up beside another yacht for a short time while we had the repairs carried out. This arrangement was quite short-lived however as a neighbouring yacht complained to the Capitainerie and we were told to leave. So we motored out to anchor in the bay which was actually very pleasant. We also got practiced at setting up the dinghy and outboard motor for transport to and from shore.
Sailing is a very big sport in France and we saw several groups of school children learning to sail in Optomist Class dinghies and in small catamarans. One group sailed close by our stern and they were laughing and singing and obviously thoroughly enjoying the 3 hours of sailing per week that they have as part of the school curriculum.
The regatta is called Les Voiles d'Antibes and it certainly attracts an amazing collection of beautifully restored classic yachts from the late 19th century through to a pair of Australian 12 metre yachts (South Australia and Kookaburra 111). Amongst the classics I spotted Cambria (a 40 metre J boat from around 1928), Altair (1931), Moonbeam 111 (1903) and Moonbeam 1V (1914), and at least 50 other large classic yachts dating back to 1892. This regatta is not for the impoverished.
While waiting for parts to arrive to repair the generator we watched the two 12 metre yachts conducting short match races which was quite a buzz as it reminded me of the heady days of the Americas Cup in Fremantle 1987.
There are some seriously large super yachts in Antibes, presumably for the regatta, including Le Grand Bleu, which was one of the largest private vessels in the world at 370 ft, previously owned by Russian oligarch, Roman Abramovich, before he gifted it to his friend Eugene Shvidler.
On board it carries 50 crew, two 3600 HP engines plus a 74 ft sailing yacht and a 67 ft motor cruiser for those hard to access places. Inconveniently for M. Shvidler an even larger mega yacht was anchored nearby complete with helicopter.
We have now had the generator repaired by replacing the raw water impeller, and by clearing out the remains of the old impeller, but we are waiting for a relay for the bowthruster which has been promised for Monday. We have also managed to get a berth in the marina until Tuesday so we are hopeful that we can get most of the repairs completed before we have to leave.
Antibes does have some interesting places to see including a fabulous collection of Picasso paintings, sculptures and ceramics beautifully displayed in the Pucasso Museum in what was once the Grimaldi Chateau (1608) but was subsequently the town hall of Antibes before becoming the first museum to be dedicated to Picasso. He donated many of the paintings and art works to the museum and in 1990 Jacqueline Picasso donated another 22 items. I was particularly taken by a photograph of Pablo with hime holding a small owl. The two pair of eyes appeared almost identical.

06/01/2012, Antibes, France
Following Cannes our plan was to go to Antibes where arrangements were being made to fix the bow thruster and service the engine and gen set. We hadn't counted on Antibes also hosting the opening regatta of the classic yachts at the same time. The harbour was fully committed to the large number of old yachts and there was no room at the inn. So we have anchored off, in a beautiful bay outside old town Antibes, waiting for a berth. It could be another day or another week, but a great time to be hanging around taking in the classic yachts' regatta.

I use this rug in my newborns room. It's very attractive and soft but it's a little more shag than the picture shows. I think I could get the same quality rug, if not better, from [...]for half the price.

Thunder shows it's still best in the West
COMMENTARY — The red-hot Clippers came to town, but couldn't beat the defending Western Conference champions.
The Thunder isn't ready to concede the Western Conference just yet.
On a night the boys in blue beat the Clippers 117-111 in overtime, they served notice that they are still a force. They didn't get an offseason deal done with super sub James Harden. They didn't bring in a bunch of big-name free agents.
No matter.
The Western Conference title still comes through Oklahoma City.
And the Thunder let that be known by beating the Clippers at their own in-your-face game.
"I thought both teams played extremely hard," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said. "It was like a playoff game in November."
Offensively, the Thunder drove the lane and went to the basket. That meant lots of good looks, but it also meant plenty of trips to the free-throw line. In the first half when it built up a double-digit lead, Oklahoma City attempted 16 free throws to Los Angeles' five.
Defensively, the Thunder contested looks and blocked shots. Clipper point guard Chris Paul had one of the toughest statistical nights of his career, finishing with only nine points on 2-of-14 shooting, adding nine assists but committing four turnovers.
In the end, the Clippers shot 43.0 percent from the floor.
"You live with that," Brooks said.
Against a team that came in with the best record in the West?
You bet you do.
"Tonight was one of the great games we've played defensively," Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook said.
But the Clippers stayed in this game because the Thunder backed off a little too much. There were spurts in the second half when the boys in blue got passive. There were ill-advised jumpers on the offensive end and wide-open looks on the defensive end.

Watch Manchester United vs Arsenal English Premier League live online streaming match from Old Trafford on 13-12-10, Kick-Off 20:00 UK Time. Watch free online live stream broadcast coverage and commentary of this match. Highlights, reviews and goals video after the game if available. Manchester United will battle Arsenal in the Premier League major clash on Monday evening with both teams looking to establish their grip on first place.
Arsenal currently lead the league ahead of Manchester United after last week's batch of games with the Red Devils having not played given the weather that froze Blackpool's pitch. However, that has not stopped United winger Nani from naming the Gunners as their biggest threat to winning the Premier League this season.
"Arsenal are a bigger threat than Chelsea now," the Portuguese star said. "Chelsea have lost a few games and drawn some and their confidence looks a bit low. But Arsenal have been winning and being top of the league gives you great confidence."
The Gunners appear to be more comfortable away from the Emirates this season having lost thrice at home while beating the likes of Manchester City, Everton and Aston Villa away from north London, a feat that even United have not been able to achieve.
"Arsenal have been doing well. They are growing up in the way we are," the Portugal star said and identified Arsenal winger Samir Nasri as the Gunner most in-form and a player United must stop on Monday.
"Nasri is the most important player in the Arsenal team," said Nani. "He is a very big danger for us and we have to take care of him."
Nani has also grown into his role as United's main attacking threat from the wings and caused the Gunners no end of problems when the pair last met in January.
"I like to play against Arsenal," Nani said. "It is good playing against any big team but I have done well against them in the past. The way they play gives you a chance to show your quality."
It will represent the first time United have engaged in league combat since putting seven past Blackburn almost a fortnight ago, a result Nani feels signifies the Red Devils are in rude health once more.
"Our momentum is growing," he said. "Players like Wayne Rooney and Anderson are starting to play fantastically again.
"It is great because our next two games are going to be very important for us. If we win against Arsenal and Chelsea we will be in a very good position to win the league."

Whew.. Good to know that I'm not the only one who thinks the later levels are too hard.
However, the game is great, very polished and funny. Give it a try if you haven't already. ^^
Game: Fish Fillets NG
Simple logical game. I liked it untill I got halfway through the game. After that levels got too hard, I got irritated by the fact I could not find any solution for them.
Still, its a nice game.
Game: Teeworlds
Just imagine Quake3 in 2D and cartoon graphics and you have TeeWorlds ( formerly TeeWars ). Nice action-packed game with various game modes ( Free for all, Capture Flag, Instagib ), deadly weapons and grapling hook.
There is no single player in the game, you have to connect to online servers to play. Servers are very reliable, usually full of players. You can play at same server with players running TeeWorlds on Windows.
Game is moddable.
Game: LBreakout2
Breakout with comfortable gameplay and nice graphics.
I'm just addicted to it somehow. I play it on and on for few months now. It has nice feature that you can end at any point of game, and you can continue later on from the last played level.
boink. Love it.

Tuberculosis and Malaria
Donor Funding for Health in Low-& Middle-Income Countries, 2002–2010
While donor funding for health in low and middle-income countries rose significantly in the last decade, the era of rapid growth has come to an end. Health increased as a share of Official Development Assistance (ODA) during the early part of the past decade, largely spurred on by the creation of several new funding initiatives and mechanisms such as The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (Global Fund) and the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). However, this share has remained essentially flat in recent years, with year-to-year increases in donor funding for health peaking in 2007, and declining each year since.
Financing the Response to AIDS in Low- and Middle- Income Countries: International Assistance from Donor Governments in 2011
UNAIDS and the Kaiser Family Foundation have been tracking donor government assistance for AIDS in low- and middle- income countries since 2002. This latest report provides data from governments for 2011, the most recent year with comparable data available across donors. As it shows, international assistance rose sharply from 2002 through 2008, the period just before the onset of the economic crisis. It then began to flatten and, last year, for the first time, disbursements declined. The current report finds that although funding has gone back up, it remains at 2008 levels. If such trends continue, reaching the UN Political Declaration investment target of $22-24 billion needed by 2015 could be at risk.
Righting the Global Fund
Over the course of 2011, the Geneva-based Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria experienced unprecedented adversity. Media accounts and internal reports drew attention to instances of corruption involving grantees: $34 million of probable fraud in four African countries triggered a suspension of assistance by Germany and two other European donors. External reviews detailed the Fund's deficient managerial practices, weak oversight of investments, and ineffectual board governance. An alarming, $2-billion-plus financial shortfall, revealed suddenly at year's end, reflected a worsening global economy, overly optimistic forecasting by the Fund secretariat, and flagging donor trust and confidence in the Fund itself.

I wonder why the members of Woolwich township council would ask for the opinions of their residents, and then disregard what they hear.
Inexplicably, Woolwich council has decided to say yes to a casino — with 1,200 slot machines and hundreds of gaming tables — to be set up within its quiet, rural boundaries. The offer of a casino is part of an aggressive campaign by the Ontario government to increase revenue from gambling by building more casinos.
Only Coun. Mark Bauman objected to the decision his colleagues took, on grounds that a survey of township residents showed a clear opposition to the proposal.
"Part of consultation is listening, and I don't think we've listened," he said.
But he was a lone voice of reason. Mayor Todd Cowan and the three other councillors went ahead, despite the clear message from local residents that they do not want a casino, and the social problems it may bring.
That survey of local residents was biased from the beginning. You could vote online or by sending in a postcard. The question pointed out that the township could be richer by a few million dollars if the casino comes in, and asked if residents agreed. That's a leading question. No mention was made of the many documented risks of bringing in a casino, including a rise in problem gambling, bankruptcies, family breakdown and money being diverted away from local businesses.
But despite this bias, 62 per cent of those who responded said they didn't want the casino.
Regional Chair Ken Seiling, speaking as a private citizen, said that people in Woolwich "respect the traditions of our past, want to help people and not hurt them, and are not prepared to let their principles be bought."
Were the majority of councillors so dazzled by the thought of up to $4 million a year in shared revenue (the host municipality gets five per cent of slot machine revenues) that they were temporarily blinded to the will of their constituents?
Brantford's mayor, Chris Friel, appeared before council and offered his city's story.
Years ago, Friel had originally opposed the casino. But a referendum of Brantford residents showed them to be 53 per cent in favour. So a casino was built near the downtown, but separated from it by a slope and a highway.
Since then, Brantford has used the revenue from casino proceeds to rejuvenate its downtown, which had been "dead," he said. Today, there are two colleges and two universities with a presence there. Downtown Brantford has been transformed by higher education.
"Our community has changed dramatically," Friel said, thanks to the way the casino revenue was used.
Other projects paid for by casino revenue include the Wayne Gretzky Sports Centre, which opens later this year, roads and bridges and waterfront renovations.
Friel said a new casino would increase road traffic, for sure. But he also offered graphs that indicated the number of bankruptcies, the number of people on welfare, and the number of calls to police were not much affected by the presence of the casino. They were, however, profoundly affected by the economic downturn of 2008 and 2009.
Of course, there are many differences between here and Brantford. That city's downtown, before the student influx, was the most desolate place I had ever visited in Canada. It needed something dramatic. For Brantford, perhaps the risk of a casino was worth it.
But what does Woolwich need so badly that it is willing to take that same risk?
Fortunately, there is a chance for sober second thought, perhaps when the two available locations show themselves to be completely unsuitable.
If located at 800 King St. N., the casino would be close enough to the farmer's market that traffic would quickly become a nightmare.
If located at 2609 Shantz Station Rd., the casino would be located close to two private schools: St. John's-Kilmarnock and Woodland Christian.
One councillor, who voted yes to the casino, expressed concern about this second location. She suggested a third location be found, perhaps near the airport, so that the casino could be kept away from the "communities."
Which begs the question: If you want to keep it away from the community, why don't you just keep it away from the community?

Inside Wall Street: Battered Teva is coiled to snap back
The pharmaceutical company's share price reflects the bad news but not the potential positives.
Once a highflying growth darling on Wall Street, TevaPharmaceuticalIndustries (TEVA)has fallen from favor. Many nervous shareholders bailed out of the stock because of a string of adverse events, including the pending loss of patent protection in 2014 for its blockbuster MS drug Copaxone. Shares of Teva have tumbled about 40% to $38 a share from a high of $64.54 in late March 2011.
But for opportunistic and not "of the herd" investors, the world's largest generic-drug maker should be an enticingly attractive buy. And some of the smart-money crowd have been snapping up shares in anticipation of a sharp snap-back.
In spite of the many issues that now challenge Teva, "we believe the company will still grow at a rate of at least 7% to 8% based on its global leadership in the generics business," says Karl O. Mills, the president of the San Francisco investment firm Jurika, Mills & Keifer, which has accumulated shares. "All the bad news is out and already reflected in Teva's shares," Mills argues. Yet several potential positives have yet to catch up with the stock, he adds.
Mills is the first to concede that "there have been missteps in some of the company's manufacturing operations" that have undermined confidence in management. But he asserts that Teva's "deep pipeline of potential branded drugs, which include some novel biotech drugs," aren't yet reflected in the stock.
Post continues below:
With its strong and clean balance sheet enhanced by a low debt level, significant cash flow of $4 billion a year, and an impressive return on equity of 20%, Teva continues to be a strong performer, says Mills. Trading at just 7.4 times projected 2011 earnings and 6.7 times 2012 profit estimates, the stock is definitely undervalued, Mills says. He figures Teva will earn $5.00 a share in 2011 and $5.50 in 2012.
Teva's outsized line of generics, which accounted for 67% of total sales in 2010, consists of 400 products including antibiotics, cardiovascular, and anticancer and anti-inflammatory drugs. A big part of Teva's rapid and robust growth over the years has been due to its aggressive acquisitions of companies that manufacture both generic and branded medicines.
Teva's latest acquisition, Cephalon, which became part of the company on Oct. 14, 2011, is a "new avenue of growth for Teva," Mills says. With its broad array of branded innovative treatments for central nervous system disorders, pain, and cancer, Cephalon is expected to offset some of the projected losses from the expiration of patent rights for Copaxone. Another branded drug in shelf is Agilect/Azilect for Parkinson's disease. Teva's recent acquisitions of Barr Pharmaceuticals and Ratiopharm were all aimed at boosting its branded segment.
Teva is currently engaged in a major legal battle aimed at delaying the entry of Copaxone copycats, and so far it has had some success, notes J. Susan Ferrara, analyst at investment research firm Value Line. A court has recently determined that Teva's claim of patent infringement against two rivals is valid, which clears the way for the case to go to trial, says Ferrara. The company is taking steps to help offset slower sales of Copaxone, including plans to launch a slew of generics this year and next, she adds.
Based on her revised three-to-five-year earnings estimates and stock price projections, Ferrara says Teva shares "offer attractive capital appreciation potential" through the middle of the decade. And "despite the inevitable slowdown in the Copaxone franchise, Teva can still prosper in the years to come, assuming its growth strategy succeeds."
Indeed, Teva is no longer just about generics and branded drugs. Ultimately, it is about betting on fast growth in an industry that's considered mature. With Teva's the stock trading so cheaply, Ferrara says, investors "still have an opportunity to purchase shares in a premier global pharmaceutical play -- at a discount."
