text: Heather Shumaker's Renegade Parenting Rules 8 New, Renegade Parenting Rules From It's OK Not to Share by Rebecca Gruber 7/17/12 1 Reactions 0 Shares Print 0 0 0 0 0 There are some unwritten rules of parenting that we just know to teach our kids (mostly because our parents enforced them with us): sharing is important, be inclusive, and don't hit. But in this age of new parenting methods (Tiger Mom, Free Range Mom, French Mom, anyone?), a new philosophy is set to cause a stir on the playground just in time for parents to send their tots back to school. It's OK Not to Share, a new book from journalist Heather Shumaker, will hit stores on Aug. 2, and her self-described Renegade Rules turn commonly held household rules upside-down. Based on the philosophy of the preschool she attended as a tot (and where her own mom still teaches), Shumaker offers up 29 parenting rules that all fall under the umbrella of the Renegade Golden Rule: "It's OK if it's not hurting people or property." With easy-to-follow instructions for following the rules — including tool boxes of sayings and actions for parents — the book is a manual for the parent who's had it with many of today's popular parenting styles. Here are a few titillating teasers from the book. Source: Thinkstock Children Need Conflict What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Parents shouldn't step in to avoid conflicts between kids. Author Heather Shumaker says: Mediation takes practice. Kids gain vital social skills when they encounter — and learn to unravel — conflict. . . . Kids who don't have conflict-mediation skills are glaringly obvious. They expect adults to solve their problems , and they run for help whenever they encounter conflict. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 8 We're Not All Friends Here What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You can't make kids play with someone. Author Heather Shumaker says: Kids are not all friends. Accept social fears and favorites. Guide children toward better friendship skills. . . . Kids are not magically all friends just because they are all little. Young kids are just learning about friendship, and applying the term "friend" to every situation is confusing. Young kids will play with some kids and ignore others. That's OK. As an adult, you don't like everyone you meet, and it's unrealistic to expect a child will have equal feelings toward everyone. Source: Thinkstock 2 / 8 Love Your Kids' Lies What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lying isn't as malicious as parents may think. Author Heather Shumaker says: Young kids lie to express wishes and try to control their world. Your reaction matters more than her lie. What a young child "lies," she is doing her best to say the right thing. It's not a morality crises. She is trying to please you and protect herself. She is not purposefully dodging the truth to anger you and is not being "bad." Punishment doesn't stop lies (kids lie to avoid punishment). Instead, show your child that you like the truth, and she will alter her behavior to please you. Source: Thinkstock 3 / 8 Pictures Don't Have to Be Pretty What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Shelve your desire to label your child's work. Author Heather Shumaker says: It's the process, not the product. For young kids, art is doing. . . . A messy, globby picture may be your child's way of exploring color and texture. Follow your child's lead and don't focus on the finished product. It may not be important. Young kids are fascinated by the process of art but may not care what happens to their picture when they're done. Art is action. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 8 It's OK Not to Share What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 It's time to replace sharing with taking turns. Author Heather Shumaker says: "Sharing on demand" interrupts play, erodes parent-child trust, and teaches false generosity. Take turns instead. . . . Keeping a toy when another child wants it is not the mark of a selfish child, but simply a busy one. Protect your child's right to play and teach her to say, "I'm not done yet." Interrupting play — and instantly rewarding the other child — does not benefit either child. Waiting for a turn teaches great lessons in delayed gratification. Young children aren't ready to share; they are ready to take turns." Source: Thinkstock 6 / 8 Kids Don't Have to Say "Sorry" What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Actions speak louder than words — especially when kids are just reciting something they know makes grown-ups happy. Author Heather Shumaker says: Saying "sorry" is a cop-out. Take action instead to set things right. . . . Young kids are rarely sorry. Many haven't even reached a stage of moral development to feel sorry yet. Don't force apologies. Instead, help kids set things right by getting a tissue or an ice pack. Learning to say "sorry" lets kids off the hook, but saying "I won't knock your bike over again" offers meaningful safety. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 8 Bombs, Guns, and Bad Guys Allowed What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Toy guns don't turn kids into mass murderers. Author Heather Shumaker says: Playing with toy weapons will not make a child violent. Respect a child's right to play. . . . War is as legitimate as playing house. When a preschooler says "Bang! Bang!" it's a game, not violence. Don't be fooled because the topic may be violent — this play is typically highly social and cooperative, teaching your child skills in friendship and even early morality. If we fear weapon play and ban it, children may still pursue their fascination with power and weapons — often in places we can't see it. Source: Thinkstock 7 / 8 You Can't Play = A-OK What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't force children to play together. Let them choose their own playmates. Author Heather Shumaker says: Free play includes the right to choose whom to play with. Let children choose whether or not to include or reject a playmate. . . . This is what children need to learn: You don't have to like everyone. You don't have to play with everyone. You do have to be decent to everyone.

Setback in beer
Saturday 13 February 1999
THE COURT of Appeal yesterday refused to refer the brewer Shepherd Neame's fight against recent beer duty increases to the European Court of Justice. The Kent-based brewer claimed the increases were incompatible with European law and sought to win a reversal of an earlier High Court decision upholding the increases in duty. The trade director Jonathan Neame said the brewer would seek leave to appeal to the House of Lords.

Comments about Platypus Gravityworks 4L Water Filter:
I used this on a backpacking trip on the AT and it is hands down the best filter. I have used most filters and for ease of use nothing can come close to this. Having four liters helps when you are in larger groups and or don't want to make a second trip to get more water. Love the fact you can disconnect the filter and dirty bag and use the clean water bag as my hydration in my pack. Big advantage is the clamp that lets water out like a garden hose. Which means you can cool down on a hot day. Highly recommend this filter!!!

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious condition of the intestine. The intestine digests food. It also moves food from the stomach to the anus. NEC is the swelling and destruction of a part of the intestine. This condition often occurs soon after your baby starts feeding. It is found mostly in premature and very low birthweight babies. NEC can also be found in full-term infants.
This is condition requires care from your baby's doctor. NEC often occurs in the first two weeks of life but can occur as late as 3 months of age. The baby is often still in the hospital when NEC starts.
The exact cause of NEC is not known. Below is a possible series of events that can lead to NEC:
- Premature babies do not have fully developed intestines. This may make it difficult for the intestines to handle the stress of moving food.
- The stress may cause a decrease in oxygen or blood flow to the intestines. The loss of oxygen and blood flow can cause damage to the intestine.
- Bacteria can enter the intestine through the damaged area. The bacteria can lead to an infection and swelling. This will weaken the wall of the intestine even further.
- If the process continues it can make a hole in the intestine.
Risk Factors
The risk of developing NEC is higher if your baby:
- Was born before his or her due date
- Had a difficult delivery or low oxygen levels during labor
- Has a gastrointestinal infection
- Had indomethacin or early dexamethasone treatment
- Is considered "high risk" and has started taking milk by mouth or feeding tube
If your baby has any of these symptoms, do not assume it is due to NEC. The symptoms may be caused by other, less serious conditions. Symptoms will vary by child but may include:
- Difficulty feeding
- Feedings stay in baby's stomach longer than expected
- A sudden increase in bowel movements, or lack of bowel movements
- Bloody bowel movements
- Baby doesn't pass a lot of gas
- Belly may be bloated, tender to the touch, or red
- Vomit—may be greenish in color
General signs of infection, such as:
- Stopping breathing or difficulty breathing
- Low heart rate
- Sluggishness
- Vomiting
- Temperature instability
- Cool, clammy skin
Your doctor will ask about your baby's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your pediatrician will work with a specialist to diagnose NEC.
Tests may include the following
- Lab tests—complete blood count, electrolytes, and blood culture may be done. This will be done to look for infections.
- Ultrasound of the abdomen—ultrasound can create images with certain details that are difficult to catch on a standard x-ray
- X-ray of the abdomen—images of the entire abdomen which may show a leak in the intestine
Most babies who get NEC have a complete recovery. Treatment usually takes between 3 to 14 days. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for your baby. Treatment options include combinations of the following:
Empty the Stomach
Air or liquid in your baby's intestine can make the condition worse. You will be asked to stop feeding your baby. A tube will be placed through the baby's nose into the stomach. This tube will remove liquid and air from your baby's stomach. Removing these will help the intestine heal.
Nutrition and fluids will be given to your baby through an IV. An IV can deliver nutrition directly into your child's blood stream.
Antibiotics are used to fight infections caused by bacteria. Your baby may be given antibiotic to stop the current infection or prevent a new one.
X-rays will be done often. They will help your doctor see the progress of the NEC.
NEC can cause swelling in the stomach. This may make it difficult for the baby to breathe. Oxygen may be given to improve the baby's oxygen levels. A machine called a ventilator may be used. It will help or take over breathing for the baby.
Infection Prevention
Some infections can pass easily through touch or near contact. Certain steps can keep these infections from spreading. You and your baby's caretakers may wear gowns and gloves to protect your baby and others. Regular handwashing is also important in any infection prevention.
For some, the damage to the intestine may be severe. In this case, surgery may be needed.
Surgery is done to remove the damaged part of the intestine. The healthy parts are sewn back together when possible. Sometimes there is too much damage to be able to sew the intestine back together. In this case, part of the intestine will be connected to an opening in the abdomen wall. The opening will allow waste products to pass to a bag outside the body.
Prevention is difficult since the exact cause of NEC is unknown. Some steps that may be helpful include:
- Breastmilk may reduce the chance of NEC compared to formula
- The first feeding may be postponed until your baby is stable. Increase the feeding amount very slowly.
- Closely observe your baby for signs of feeding intolerance.
- Probiotics may help decrease the risk of NEC.

LCD TVs, LED TVs, 3D TVs, Plasma TVs, and DLP TVs have filled our homes, businesses and schools with unprecedented color clarity and realism infusing our world with rich, magnificent images so stunning they often defy description. Manufacturers of flat screen TVs include Sony, Toshiba, Samsung, Sharp, Panasonic, Vizio, and LG Electronics.
LCD, LED, 3D, Plasma, DLP, what are the differences?
LCD TV, Plasma TV, and DLP TV whats the difference? Because many folks are confused about these new technologies, weve provided some brief definitions of each technology so youll have a clearer understanding as you make your TV buying decision. All these technologies create magnificent pictures.
- LED TV - LED TVs use LED backlighting instead of fluorescent lighting, and thus they can produce images and picture quality with a greater dynamic contrast. LED Televisions are also very slim and take up minimum space.
- LCD TV - LCD TV uses Liquid Crystal Display technology (generally TFT), as opposed to cathode ray or plasma for its visual output. The result is breathtaking images. Larger screen LCD televisions are hugely popular as more and more are produced.
- 3D TV - 3D TVs employ the latest technology today, allowing you to view three-dimensional TV shows, movies and video games. 3D Televisions have very high refresh rates so that two images can be displayed at the same time, one to each eye, allowing you to perceive depth. Most 3D TVs require the use of special 3D glasses.
- DLP TV - DLP (Digital Lighting Processing) technology uses an optical semiconductor to manipulate light digitally. Picture quality is masterful. Youll find DLP technology in many televisions, home theater systems and business and entertainment projectors.
- Plasma TV - Plasma TV employs a matrix of tiny gas plasma bubbles coated by phosphor and charged by precise electrical voltages to create a picture.

On July 19th, Arizona submitted an application for the CMS State Innovation Model Funding to accelerate the state's
delivery system transformation towards a value-based integrated model that focuses on whole person health in all settings
and regardless of coverage source. Additional information about the proposed initiative, including the grant proposal
can be found in the link below.
June 19, 2014
Recently, a stakeholder meeting was held to announce that the State of Arizona would apply for a State Innovations Models
(SIM) Grant, Round Two, which is a multi-payer model designed to transform health delivery systems in an effort to improve
health and lower costs. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, "These efforts are designed to reduce reliance
on payment methodologies based on volume and encourage movement toward payment based on outcomes, by reinforcing the expectation
that providers and payers must be engaged in order to create meaningful delivery and payment system reforms." Arizona's approach
will focus on coordinating existing efforts to better connect payers and providers with an emphasis on connecting to behavioral
health as part of the long-term solution to health delivery system reform.

Effective May 1, 2014, AHCCCS will no longer accept new applications for Independent
Providers (Type 24) because AHCCCS will phase out the Independent Provider Program by
the end of 2014. AHCCCS encourages persons wanting to provide Direct Care Services to
members of the Arizona Long Term Care System (ALTCS) to seek employment with a Direct
Care Service Agency.
As of May 1, 2014, prospective Independent Providers should contact local Direct Care
Service Agencies or the ALTCS member's Tribal Case Manager for a listing of available
Direct Care Service Agencies.
Marketplace Special Enrollment Period for Certain Individuals
March 25, 2014
As a result of the delays in processing applications on healthcare.gov and concerns regarding account
transfers, CMS released information about the availability of special enrollment periods for certain
individuals who are applying for coverage at the health insurance Marketplace. Applicants that may
qualify for the special enrollment period are: (1) consumers who are "in line" by the March 31st deadline
to complete enrollment; and (2) consumers who have complex cases. These special cases are for specific
situations where a consumer was not able to successfully complete enrollment during the open enrollment
period despite their efforts to do so and through no fault of their own. There is also an exception for
individuals who are victims of domestic abuse. More CMS guidance is available on the links below:
Maintenance on Federal Data Sources
March 10, 2014
Federal data sources used by Health-e-Arizona Plus (HEAplus) will not be available during scheduled maintenance times.
When these federal data sources are not available, HEAplus will not be able to accept your application. We apologize for
any inconvenience. Federal data sources will not available during the following times:
Challenges continue with transfers of applications between state and federal systems
February 12, 2014
There are 60,000 consumers who applied for healthcare coverage through the federal Marketplace at
www.healthcare.gov and were told their income qualified
them for AHCCCS coverage instead. AHCCCS has been working with the federal government to transfer these 60,000
applicants from the federal Marketplace into the AHCCCS system. This step is necessary in order to complete the
individual's AHCCCS eligibility.
The federal government has indicated that Arizona and a number of other states are "in production" with
regards to the transfer of these applications. However, there are a number of technical problems with
the accounts that are being transferred from the federal Marketplace making eligibility determinations
impossible to complete in some cases. AHCCCS is attempting to develop a way to work around these challenges
manually. While we are working diligently with the federal government to address their system's
shortcomings, this account transfer process will be slow and cumbersome for the foreseeable future.
In the meantime, we continue to urge individuals who are assessed Medicaid/AHCCCS eligible by
healthcare.gov to go to www.healthearizonaplus.gov
directly to apply.
We recognize that many Arizonans are stuck in this difficult consumer experience. Please rest assured that
AHCCCS is doing everything possible to accurately resolve these applications. AHCCCS will keep its website
updated as this process moves forward. We apologize for the current inconvenience in the lack of seamless
communication between the state and federal systems.
December 17, 2013
IMPORTANT: If you are denied AHCCCS coverage for being over income, please apply for health care coverage at
If you apply on HEAplus and your AHCCCS application is denied for being over income, you must go to the Federal Marketplace
to apply for health care coverage. You can do this by going online to www.healthcare.gov,
open an account and complete your application.
April 7, 2014
CMS released new information to provide additional assistance on the special enrollment
period for consumers who were "in line" on March 31st. For more information please visit

As of October 1, 2013, AHCCCS is no longer processing Baby Arizona applications. The Affordable Care Act (ACA)
requires states to utilize a single streamlined application approved by the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
In Arizona, this is completed through the Health-e-Arizona Plus (HEAplus) online application. HEAplus offers a quick
and user-friendly process when applying for health insurance and can be accessed directly at
Providers are encouraged to become Community Partners. Today there are over 75 Contracted Community Partner
Organizations in more than 300 locations throughout the State who help Arizonans apply online for AHCCCS Health

data sources provides real-time eligibility determinations. For more information about HEAplus, including how

The AHCCCS Strategic Plan identifies four goals critical to sustain and build on
the success of the AHCCCS program in light of the restoration of coverage -- the
most important healthcare policy issue the State has faced since the inception of
the AHCCCS program 30 years ago and can be found on the link below:
AHCCCS Strategic Plan 2014-2018
July 8, 2013
The Supreme Court ruling on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provides states multiple
and complex opportunities with respect to the future of their Medicaid programs.
With these opportunities in mind, Governor Brewer signed into law the AHCCCS Restoration
Plan which restores coverage to Childless Adults and provides coverage
for those between 100-133% of the Federal Poverty Level, beginning January 1, 2014.

LA CROSSE — As the ice begins to break away from the Mississippi River, the eagles begin their migration north to their favorite mating and nesting grounds. This week, I had the privilege to stop by Hooska Park along the Mississippi River, just a few minutes outside of downtown La Crosse to watch eagles play and hunt.
I wasn't alone. There were close to a dozen fellow eagle watchers admiring the beautiful bird. "This is a great time of year to see so many different birds" said Mary avid bird watcher "there are close to 200 species of migratory birds that make La Crosse their resting stop; it's simply unbelievable when you think about it.... Some of these birds come from as far away as South America"
La Crosse has several parks where one can watch birds, three of them are on the banks of the Mississippi River. Restaurants such as the Waterfront, located downtown offer a comfortable atmosphere to watch the birds in.

These work great...look great.

- No
- Bright
- Decorative
- Mid Quality
Best Uses
- Accents
Bought a set of three for my mom for her birthday. Looked like great quality stuff I have purchased from GSC before. However, one of the lights would not charge the battery after a day(night) of use. Rather than waste time and money trying to exchange or refund, I looked up the principles of how solar LEDs work and found that one of the leads to the solar cell wasn't soldered on correctly. I purchased another cell and soldered it to the circuit board. Works just like the other two now! Lasts a good majority of the night. Probably would have been easier to just get a refund, but I learned something, fixed it myself, and discovered a new hobby!
- Was this a gift?:

Best Uses
- Evening Garden Accent
Battery that comes with the dragonfly is not good so replaced with new and they work GREAT - just a fun feature for an evening garden
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Attractive addition
- Good Quality
- Led Lights Are Vibrant
Best Uses
- Beautiful In Flower Beds
I saw these lights in the Gardner's Supply magazine and thought they would look beautiful in my garden. I placed them in the front yard garden area,close to the house,yet they are visible to people walking or driving by. The light colors are vibrant and they are well-made. I would highly recommend these lights to anyone considering a purchase. Now I want a second set for the backyard!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
I really love these. I have them in my plant pots on my deck and they really add to the look of the flowers. I apparently don't have enough light where they are, so they often don't last all night like the neighbors lights do.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Attractive
- decent quality
- Lights Too Early
- Out Of Synch
Best Uses
While they look great when they are all glowing early in the evening, unfortunately 1 of the 3 starts its light show before it is dark outside, and thus runs out of power well before the other 2.
I had intended to send the set back, but just haven't had the time.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Charming
- Easy To Install
- Works Great
- none
Best Uses
- Light up the garden
I have this set in my back yard under a small ornamental tree. They light up and change colors beautifully every night. I find them cheerful and charming. Even my husband , who doesn't care much for ornamental garden items , loves them.
They would make a great gift.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
This is the first order of this type. I ordered another set with a different charging system. The charger tilts down or up. These will not keep a charge, I have bought 3 sets of rechargable batteries and still will not keep a charge. Did everything that was recommended, but hasn't worked. I would purchase the others with the tilt charger. No problem with those.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Love them
Best Uses
- Around Deck
I stuck the dragonflies in bushes around my deck and I love how they change colors after dark!
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Easy to set up
- Nice and bright
- top quallity
Best Uses
- Anything you can imagine
Was slightly hesitant to purchase due to some of the reviews mentioning poor quality and battery problems. I didn't experience any of this. Couldn't be more pleased with this product. Lights are bright and last several hours. Stakes are sturdy and plenty long enough. Can be appreciated from quite a distance. Had no problem unwrapping the batteries and getting them to light up. Easy assembly. I will be buying more to brighten up other parts of my large garden.

You might have heard that the recent iOS 6.1 update has been causing quite a few headaches for corporate users. One issue causes a heavy load on the Exchange server, which ultimately locks up mobile access to e-mail.
When a user syncs a mailbox by using an iOS 6.1-based device, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Client Access server (CAS) and Mailbox (MBX) server resources are consumed, log growth becomes excessive, memory and CPU use may increase significantly, and server performance is affected.
This results in end-users getting an error message saying "Cannot Get Mail - The connection to the server failed." The cause? Apparently this bug has to do with responding to an exception to a recurring calendar event.
That's not the only issue with iOS 6.1. There's also a glaring passcode bug that allows users to bypass an iPhone's lock screen and get right into the call log and address book.
As we're all well aware, BlackBerry can handle calendar events just dandy, and BlackBerry 10 specifically is built to play nice with Exchange ActiveSync. Plus I don't think any of us have ever been worried about our lock screens being bypassed. There's been a lot of talk about iOS grabbing enterprise market share, but with issues like this, it's easy to see why IT admins might rather issue BlackBerry devices.
Those of you working in a corporate environment, have you noticed your iPhone-toting colleagues having issues?

They deserve every bit of it.

Speaking as an Exchange and BES administrator: iOS sucks! If it were up to me I would be blocking all 6.1 devices but the higher ups won't let me do it.

HAAHHAHAHAHA agree and my VaderZ jus smirks !
ffejie Feb 14, 2013 at 11:40 am
What's interesting to me is how Apple continual gets away with releasing relatively untested software to the masses. For years they got away with it because people didn't have a lot of different configurations of iPhones (and fewer still in the enterprise) and their code base was new and easy to maintain. The world is flipped now: iPhone is the big incumbent to unseat and iPhone OS is the oldest major OS of any mobile platform.
I wonder if Apple will have to go to a model of carrier specific mandated testing, like we've seen so horribly with BlackBerry over the years. Verizon is on 22.214.171.1245, but AT&T is only on 220.127.116.118, but not for this device, etc. It's code soup over there, and when you fix one thing, you break two others.
Ultimately, heading down that road sucks for everyone. Developers hate it because fragmentation runs rampant. They can't count on someone having 6.1.1 which has this API call, so they don't use it. They either forgo the feature (likely) or write some alternate method to get the feature done (complicated). Eventually, iPhone OS stops being worth developing for. Consumers hate it because certain apps don't work very well, and you can't get the new features Apple is touting in a new release until AT&T verifies it. Android/BlackBerry/Windows can innovate faster and cool features come out there first.
bergeronjc Feb 14, 2013 at 12:04 pm
That reads like a stream of consciousness.
ffejie Feb 15, 2013 at 10:07 am
Sorry, I forgot that my comments were supposed to be edited and filtered to meet the high criteria of the "Internet Comment Board" which regularly permits and encourages comments like "F1RST!! Oh, and this sucks."
undone Feb 14, 2013 at 12:07 pm
Tangent, but related....
I could be wrong, but isn't BB10 designed around side stepping this painful issue? I haven't looked hard enough, but I thought the carrier piece was separated out so it didn't effect the base code. Again I could be wrong.
Skeevecr Feb 14, 2013 at 5:22 pm
In theory, but that hasn't been the case with the 3g/4g playbook so far, maybe we will see more of it later on, but we shouldn't bank on it.

Our exchange servers are going nuts at work. I wonder if this is the cause...
tk-093 Feb 14, 2013 at 2:31 pm
Yeah, that's probably it. I would suggest you take a look at it. We are only doing a proof of concept for ActiveSync right now and had just 3 iOS6.1 devices on Exchange and we did see an increase in logs from just a few devices. Now it wasn't enough to cause any issues obviously, but it was there. We did a throttling policy on those. There is a MS article on this problem somewhere..
Jimcmf Feb 14, 2013 at 8:45 pm
Someone hacked into a number of our Apple phones last month, and gained a lot of access codes.
We are planning to drop all Apple phone immediately. It is not worth taking a chance.
chosen1_88 Feb 14, 2013 at 11:54 am
So, how's that BYOD initiative going? iPhone in corporate? Yeah, right.

If anyone posts something about the issue at apple.com they will do what they do best there. Delete any posts saying anything negative about Apple. The gravy train is coming to an end for Apple. Stocks are taking a dive and soon the company will be as well.
No innovation is left with their stale product launches of the same old same old AMAZING stuff.

Apple is aware of this issue. However, the problem will have resolved itself by Monday.
G-bone Feb 14, 2013 at 3:18 pm
Apple is where BB was in 07-08 - still on top but rotting from within.
I've got no hate for Apple as such - I just don't like their products or their proprietary attitude. And I came to that conclusion by using their products.
What I dislike is the blind drinking of the Apple water. The whole, "everybody has an iphone so I'll get one too." .
And the whole idea that Apple is secure.
The only reason Apple was 'secure' was because nobody bothered writing viruses for them.
Now they are starting to be a target.
It won't happen overnight, but ultimately Apple will go back to what they have always been - a very good niche player.

winter_hat Feb 14, 2013 at 6:55 pm
The fix is available, I think, but for iPhone 4S only. But, the pass code error is still in the 6.1.1 'fix'. Our IT dept emailed about it today, so I don't even think when the update hits iPhone 5 that those users will be allowed on our servers. Mind you, we have 10s of thousands of employees and anyone who chose iPhone for their BYOD is unable to use it for work calender, email, etc. They still have a lot of apps to pass the time whilst they can't work...
pcguy514 Feb 15, 2013 at 1:33 pm
the 4s fix is for vodafone users who are loosing signal or not getting any reception at all after a 6.1 upgrade.
No exchange fix "that i know of" yet...
Jimcmf Feb 14, 2013 at 8:43 pm
This is DANGEROUS.....
North Korea may hack into Home Depot server, and find out where they are stashing all the wood and nails.
Then, they can build weapons of mass destruction.
The USA government must shut down The Home Depot IMMEDIATELY because they do not care about their citizens, and are a potential threat to their own country men.

imcurved Feb 15, 2013 at 2:40 am
By now I think it is fair for me to say that new os will have bugs. Company will have to distinguish themselves by how quickly can they fix those bugs and issue a update to their users.
My company IT just out an email recommended iPhone users not to update to version 6.1.
C Cheetah75 Feb 15, 2013 at 7:32 am
So I think I figured it out. It appears to be a synching issue between the Exchange server and iTunes. If you can just remove the Exchange server and replace it with iTunes it will be flawless! ;)

Schmurf Feb 15, 2013 at 10:03 am
I think this just goes to show that no software is without issues. Again, it's a matter of what is right for you. If you are in a sensitive work environment (and let's face it, what work environment is NOT sensitive anymore) then you need to ensure data security first and foremost. End of story. However, if you are using it for personal reasons, then you have to decide how secure you want your device to be vs the other shiny features. Then the only person to suffer from data hacking would be you.
MayhemMaybe Feb 17, 2013 at 6:00 pm
This goes to show a long standing issue Apple has had (which is also an issue early Android had), not being corporate centric devices. iPhone and Android were created as consumer devices that can do corporate email as well. Not the other way around. Why companies are going to iPhone is because of users clamoring for them usually from the top down as 'status symbols' of executives. Phone status symbols eventually end up mass market if anyone recalls the original Motorola Razor and Tmobile Sidekick. They were devices of the celebrities until suddenly you saw everyone having them. Now all I hear in my work is people wanting iPhone to do this that or the other thing. Meanwhile this is the second calendar bug in iOS with Exchange. This is the first huge security hole that we know of. How many other holes are in iOS we just don't know about? Why does Apple get passes on these things? If BB had such issues it would be leading news on the networks. You barely hear about these iPhone issues.
Two things I love about Blackberry. One is the keyboard prediction, the other is the BES server handling my email instead of using my account. This allows my BB to get and send email even if I lock out my account. Unlike IPhone which CAN lock out my account if I don't change the PW on it when Active Directory requires I change my password. Then it gets and sends nothing. I have dealt with this numerous times for users who setup email on their iPad and when they have to change their PW suddenly their account is locked and they have no idea why. Unlock it, a day later it's locked again. They get angry, I ask about iOS devices and 'ohhhh I get email on my iWhatever" did you change the PW on it? Silence.
What I hate about Blackberry, having to wait for my Z10!!!!!

CHICKASHA, Okla. — A mother who claimed she was turned away from a church's toy giveaway because she wouldn't let volunteers hold her baby says her Christmas was saved by an Oklahoma atheist group.
Tiffany Wait said she, her husband and their 7-month-old baby went to Bible Baptist Church's Toy Shop on Christmas morning to get gifts for their child, but were met with animosity because Wait did not want to give her baby to the volunteers while she selected gifts.
"I am poor and would not be able to celebrate Christmas this year without their charity," she said. "I went last year and it was a life saver. This year, however, I was treated shockingly bad."
Wait said her baby doesn't like strangers and she'd prefer to be with him. She said the volunteer said it has to be done that way, or the family wouldn't be able to participate.
"I stood there, fighting back tears and asked, 'You would turn a baby away on Christmas?'" said Wait.
The volunteers held their ground, and according to Wait, one woman tried to forcibly take her child.
Eventually, a woman brought a toy out to Wait.
But Wait soon took to the internet, posting her story on various social media sites, and that is when Oklahoma Atheists' Director Red McCall and members of his group set out to save Christmas.
"We had several people donate things and send her money through a PayPal," said McCall.
Christmas is a secular holiday now, according to McCall. He said everyone deserves to have a happy holiday.
"The Christians turned my baby and I away, and a group of atheists showed us compassion, kindness, and charity," Wait said. "They brought us toys, dinner, gift cards, donated money and really saved our holiday."

It couldn't have been possible without Dave Valle, Benny Cadahia and Rich Donnelly, the unsung hurlers who turned Monday night's extended batting practice into a national phenomenon.
Valle, a former big-league catcher, shouldered and elbowed most of the work, throwing to champion Garret Anderson plus semifinalists Jim Edmonds and Jason Giambi and first-round flameouts Bret Boone and Carlos Delgado.
Cadahia, the Chicago Cubs' bullpen catcher, served up meat for finalist Albert Pujols and first-round casualty Gary Sheffield.
Donnelly, the Milwaukee Brewers' third-base coach, was flown in at the last minute by the Brewers' first baseman, Richie Sexson, and blew off a lunch with his wife to drive to the airport and board a plane with no luggage, toothbrush or clean socks.
That's dedication, and it didn't go unnoticed.
Anderson, for example, said Valle did everything he could have asked for.
"I give a lot of credit to him because he kept pumping them in the right spot," Anderson said. "He just hit my bat. He was throwing the ball in a good spot for me and luckily I hit enough of them out to win the contest."
Valle was impressed by Anderson's feats, too.
"Garret's got such a sweet, smooth stroke," Valle said. "It seemed like every time I threw it down the middle, he hit it out of the park. He just has that nice, effortless backspin swing. The ball just takes off."
Valle did admit, however, that he was a bit humbled by his experience with Seattle's Bret Boone, who became the 15th player in Derby history to go homerless in the first round.
Valle is a former Mariner and a current Mariners broadcaster. Boone is a Mariner.
In other words, it was Boone who suggested Valle come out to Chicago to pitch to him.
"I feel terrible," Valle said. "He's the reason I'm here and he got shut out. He told me I have to take a bus home."
It went so badly for Boone that he actually swung and missed on one pitch.
"I didn't even want to look at him," Valle said. "I just looked straight down."
Pujols, who tied a Derby record with his astounding round of 14 in the semis, almost got emotional when talking about the efforts of Cadahia.
"He did an outstanding job," Pujols said. "He was putting the ball right on the money. I don't think even on a tee could have been better than what he was throwing. It was perfect, right where I wanted. He's amazing."
Cadahia admitted that fatigue might have played a part in Pujols' demise. He could only blast eight to Anderson's nine in the final.
"I don't know if it was me getting tired or Albert getting tired, but that was a lot of throwing for three rounds," Cadahia said.
"He did a great job, though. I was trying to calm him down after the big round. I said, 'Relax.' But I made a couple of mistake pitches in on him and he didn't like that."
Pujols didn't seem to mind when it was all over.
"I thanked him," he said of Cadahia.
"He didn't have to do it."

Narnia ... where horses talk ... where treachery is brewing ... where destiny awaits.
On a desperate journey, two runaways meet and join forces. Though they are only looking to escape their harsh and narrow lives, they soon find themselves at the center of a terrible battle. It is a battle that will decide their fate and the fate of Narnia itself.
Performed by Alex Jennings
About the Author
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the intellectual giants of the twentieth century and arguably the most influential Christian writer of his day. He was a Fellow and Tutor in English literature at Oxford University until 1954 when he was unanimously elected to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University, a position he held until his retirement. His major contributions in literary criticism, children's literature, fantasy literature, and popular theology brought him international renown and acclaim. He wrote more than thirty books, allowing him to reach a vast audience, and his works continue to attract thousands of new readers every year. His most distinguished and popular accomplishments include The Chronicles of Narnia, Out of the Silent Planet, The Four Loves, The Screwtape Letters, and Mere Christianity.
