Apple's Redesigned MacBook Pro Quadruples Resolution and Adds USB3 and Thunderbolt, Ships Today
Today Apple refreshed their current line of MacBooks across the board, and also showed off a brand-new MacBook Pro, which quadruples the resolution of their previous laptop to 2880×1800. Among other things, this allows editors to set their viewing window to a full 1080p — while maintaining a full editing interface around it. Furthermore, one of the biggest arguments against 4K cameras is the lack of high-resolution displays in the home. If no one can see higher resolution imagery because we don't have capable displays, then what's the point (whether our eyeballs can see the difference is another argument entirely)? The redesigned 0.71-inch thin, 4.46lb laptop sports a next-gen featureset: USB3, Thunderbolt, nVidia Kepler graphics card, up to 768GB of SSD storage, quad-core processors, a 7-hour battery, and a
new lower-glare display. It starts shipping today, starting at $2199.
Apple was even showing off the new laptop hooked up to the forthcoming 2.5K Blackmagic Design camera, and is releasing updated versions of their Pro Apps to take advantage of the new display (Photoshop was also mentioned). Calling the new MacBook Pro "the best computer we've ever made," the new 15.4″ laptop sits alongside the rest of a full MacBook Pro lineup that notably excludes a 17″ model — the available sizes are 11″, 13″, and 15″. So, how do they differentiate the new MacBook Pro (with the Retina Display) from the old MacBook Pro? The new one is called the MacBook Pro with Retina Display, as opposed to the plain MacBook Pro. Strange — I would imagine that the old MacBook Pros (the new version of them, that is), will eventually be replaced by Retina Display laptops as the regular MacBook (not Pro) takes over the lower-end price segment. For now, though, there are certainly a lot of options.
No word yet about a new Mac Pro… though Apple is known for saving a significant announcement for last, with Steve Jobs' famous "One More Thing"). Nope — no new tower, though there are some new processors available. The 2.3GHz quad-core MacBook Pro with Retina Display starts at $2199 and steps up to $2799 for the 2.6GHz model; both come with 8GB of RAM standard and can be configured with 16GB.

[via The Verge]
Press Release
SAN FRANCISCO—June 11, 2012—Apple® today unveiled an all new 15-inch MacBook® Pro featuring a stunning Retina™ display, all flash storage and quad-core processors in a radically thin and light design. Measuring a mere 0.71 inches and weighing only 4.46 pounds, the completely redesigned MacBook Pro sets a new standard in performance and portability for pro users.
"The MacBook Pro with Retina display pushes the limits of performance and portability like no other notebook," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "With a gorgeous Retina display, all flash architecture and a radically thin and light design, the new MacBook Pro is the most advanced Mac we have ever built."
The new MacBook Pro Retina display is the world's highest resolution notebook display with over 5 million pixels, 3 million more than an HD television. At 220 pixels-per-inch, the Retina display's pixel density is so high the human eye cannot distinguish individual pixels from a normal viewing distance, so text and graphics look incredibly sharp. The Retina display uses IPS technology for a 178-degree wide viewing angle, and has 75 percent less reflection and 29 percent higher contrast than the previous generation.
Featuring a precision engineered aluminum unibody design and an all flash storage architecture, the all new MacBook Pro is the lightest MacBook Pro ever and nearly as thin as a MacBook Air®. Flash storage that is up to four times faster than traditional notebook hard drives enables the all new MacBook Pro to play four simultaneous streams of uncompressed 1080p HD video from internal storage.* The flash storage architecture also delivers improved reliability, instant-on responsiveness and 30 days of standby time.
The MacBook Pro with Retina display features the latest Intel Core i7 quad-core processors up to 2.7 GHz with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.7 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M discrete graphics, up to 16GB of faster 1600 MHz RAM and flash storage up to 768GB. Two Thunderbolt and two USB 3.0 ports allow pro users to connect to multiple displays and high performance devices, and a new HDMI port offers quick connectivity to HDTVs.
The MacBook Pro battery delivers up to 7 hours of wireless productivity, and uses advanced chemistry and Adaptive Charging technology to provide up to 1,000 recharges.** The MacBook Pro also features a FaceTime® HD camera, glass Multi-Touch™ trackpad, full-size backlit keyboard, dual microphones, enhanced speakers, 3-stream 802.11n Wi-Fi and a thinner MagSafe® 2 power port.
OS X® Lion, iPhoto®, iMovie®, iTunes® and other Apple apps including Aperture® and Final Cut Pro® X have been updated to take full advantage of the new MacBook Pro with Retina display. The updated Aperture 3.3 also includes revolutionary new image adjustment features and now supports a unified photo library so photographers can move seamlessly between iPhoto and Aperture.
The all new MacBook Pro ships with OS X Lion. Starting today, customers who purchase a Mac are eligible for a free copy of OS X Mountain Lion when it becomes available. Mountain Lion introduces innovative features including the all new Messages app, Notification Center, system-wide Sharing, AirPlay® Mirroring, Game Center and the enhanced security of Gatekeeper. With iCloud® built into the foundation of OS X, Mountain Lion makes it easier than ever to keep your content up to date across all your devices.
Pricing & Availability
The 15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is available through the Apple Online Store (www.apple.com), Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. The 15-inch MacBook Pro is available with a 2.3 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.3 GHz, 8GB of memory and 256GB of flash storage starting at $2,199 (US); and with a 2.6 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor with Turbo Boost speeds up to 3.6 GHz, 8GB of memory and 512GB of flash storage starting at $2,799 (US). Configure-to-order options include faster quad-core processors up to 2.7 GHz, up to 16GB of memory and flash storage up to 768GB.
Additional technical specifications, configure-to-order options and accessories are available online at apple.com/macbook-pro.

Forget Ultrabooks, Apple just created the Uberbook.
Kilgore on 06.11.12 @ 2:30PM
Me likey.
Yeah this looks awesome. Koo, I hope you are right about the Mac Pro being "One More Thing."
Even though AMD has been doing well I like how they switched back to Nvidia graphics. Will Retna slow down the graphics card or computer in general?
jank on 06.11.12 @ 2:51PM
So what's the over/under on this MBP actually being able to handle raw from a BMC Cinema Camera? I've heard the update Resolve might be slightly less demanding hardware wise, but I'm guessing everyone still recommends a tower for that…
Alexandre LEPRETRE on 06.11.12 @ 2:55PM
Put a so high resolution on a so small screen is simply stupid !
A 17″ screen was the minimum for such a resolution, Apple missed the point one more time…
It's a shame because the other components are good.
My Alienware M18x still beat it fair and square (18′ screen, dual nvidia SLI, dual HDD, etc…)
Your alienware also causes scoliosis of the spine when you have to carry it anywhere, which I guess provides more business for the medical community and stimulates jobs in that sector……
john jeffreys on 06.12.12 @ 1:29AM
I dont think this alienware guy even leaves his mom's basement, so he wouldn't know or appreciate a computer thats portable
Alexandre LEPRETRE on 06.12.12 @ 2:53AM
OK guys, I had fun reading you ;-)
I am aware that my laptop is a heavy "desktop replacement", but it is the most powerful laptop in the world. Period.
And I am using it everyday, as my main computer, everywhere I go for shooting sessions. It's simply in the trunk, with all the other accessories needed on a fim, along with lighting stuff and dollies.
I can load my raw shots and start editing and color grading directly on location, with 730 Cuda cores and 8 i7 cores on a giant screen. That means a lot of comfort in editing with CS6 or After Effects, and a 180° viewing angle on a big screen to show the immediate result to the team…
And it's now close to realtime MoCap CG rendering with the CryEngine for Cinema technology (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXnXOn7WRCs), wich will probably never be available on Macs.
So my Alienware is the transportable powerhorse, and when I need mobility I use 2 HPTouchsmart Win7x64 Tablet PCs connected in USB with my Canon cameras (remotely controlled via EOS Utility). These babies still embark a core i5, ATI cards and a 12″ monitor in 720P wich makes them very comfortable for follow focus.
So @John Jeffreys, i'm almost 40, married with childs, I have no basement and many professionnals in the graphic industry don't work on Macs, for many reasons (price, raw power, freedom of choice and open architecture, software liberty, etc…). Don't judge too soon guys ;-)
Hummer on 06.12.12 @ 8:37AM
Whatever makes you feel special.
Some middle-age men buy Corvettes. You chose to buy an 12 pound laptop that was designed for 15 year old L33T! gamers. To each his own.
kevin on 06.12.12 @ 9:58AM
Wow, your maturity is staggering. Is that how you talk to people in real life?
Hummer on 06.11.12 @ 8:57PM
In what universe is a 12 lb, 18″ LCD computer considered a laptop?
Now there's a laugh!

Take a spoonfull of cement and harden up tiger.
Jill on 06.13.12 @ 8:25AM
This Alienware guy gave you Apple fanboys a smackdown. He dropped legit specs on you, and all you guys came back with was some limp dick insults. Haha.
I'm bummed the high performance graphic card is ATI so that means no open GPU acceleration in cs6, unless adobe added support for that specific card?
Spoke too soon, I was looking at the apple website and they didn't update the graphic card to the correct info. This thing has a nvidia card so cuda acceleration should be enabled.
It's an NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M, not ATI…
But no iMac or MacPro tower announcement? So many of the rumor sites were predicting upgrades of those lines.
Anthony Marino on 06.11.12 @ 3:32PM
I think it's great and somewhat afforable for what it can do (decent 1080p) but I think the stakes have been raised. We needed this 3 years ago. I wonder what 3 grand can get you with a custom build? Don't we need a lot of cuda cores and DDR5 now?
New Mac Pro's. just a chip and graphic card refresh, no thunderbolt and only USB 2.0.
Check it, folks,
The graphics was not updated?….
atd3d on 06.11.12 @ 3:51PM
New Mac "Pro", is this is a new Siri joke ?
I Agree with Anthony Marino
Also… Prices in Europe are even higher than just the dollar amount translated to Euro…
2199$ (€1760) vs €2299 in the (Belgian) Apple Store.
I know there has always been a difference in price but come on? 539€ (673$) !?
Mac Pro updates show that apple is waving the Pro people goodbye! Not even thunderbolt…
That'll be a Hackintosh for me
john jeffreys on 06.11.12 @ 4:28PM
Wow, the SSD is attached directly to the motherboard. You can't ever upgrade your storage on that. Looks like the RAM is the same too. Wow, way to fuck us and guarantee obsolescence, Apple. I'll be picking up a now discontinued 17″ for cheap
Hummer on 06.11.12 @ 8:58PM
It's not an SSD. It's flash memory. And it can be upgraded, actually. Check OWC, they sell the chips.
john jeffreys on 06.11.12 @ 10:35PM
Is the memory not soldered onto the motherboard? And the RAM too?
Hummer on 06.12.12 @ 8:42AM
The RAM is, yes. So buy the 16GB and be done with it.
There was a new Mac Pro speed bump, according to Apple's site, but it's a disappointer: very expensive, only USB 2, still, an crap ass ATI graphics. Clearly Apple wants us all to move to MacBook Pros. Or Windows/Linux/Hackintosh.
I called this 7 days ago http://skiboblog.skibovision.com/?p=15 . The problem with apple is they have an idea of how they want the world to be and that idea is small and sexy mobile devices.
Think about it, what would be harder, adding thunderbolt and usb3.0 to mac pros (should have been done last year) or creating this crazy new macbook pro?
If people are making hackintosh machines with usb3.0 then apple should be able to
I can't believe Apple is even advertising 'New' Mac Pro. Its disgusting how much they are still charging for that old hardware. At least upgrade the graphic card and throw thunderbolt on it…usb 3.0 wouldn't hurt. c'mon man
It's called planned obsolescence…and Apple isn't the only player in town.

No FCP, no point.
Dave on 06.12.12 @ 8:35AM
Whats the point of big resolution if the retina display can only do 8bits per channel? Whats the point of 4k video if its only viewed in 8bits per channel?
@Dave – I don't think 4k video is the point…maybe in the future but not yet. There might not be a ton of uses for that resolution yet but it's coming and there are a few important ones now.
I ordered one and I'm very excited to be able to watch proper full-res 1080p without having to go full screen. It should also help with multi-camera real time editing presuming there's enough horsepower to run them. Apple claims up to 9 streams at once so my need for 3 or 4 should work just fine and look great.
any comment on the new HDMI out on the side? I never thought I'd see apple move away from expensive adapters for absolutely everything.
@brenton – My thoughts are that they're trying to find middle ground in the interest of making the most attractive notebook possible. Without USB 3.0 and an HDMI port, I wouldn't have made the jump from a PC because my current workflow requires both. The possibility that they're trying to convert people like me has certainly crossed my mind.
as it turns out, the retina display, as of today, is basically useless
it can only show a 1920×1200 desktop, upscaled
if Apple doesn't fix this soon, my conclusion will be that the thing is designed so text looks pretty
oh, and btw: this is irrelevant to me, since I have no use for a computer that has no ethernet port
(and no, a $100 thunderbolt-to-ethernet adapter is not a good solution)
@Samuel Hurtado – http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/11/apple-rolls-out-thunderbolt-to-ethernet-adapter-for-29/
Many Thunderbolt adapters are sub $30 now. DVI and VGA already are.
It's also my understanding that the scaled display is only for the desktop and apps without support for the resolution (hence the new 'best for Retina display dynamic resolution option). It's not Apple's fault to fix…applications just have to catch up a little; the bundled apps (safari, iMovie, etc) already are to my knowledge. It won't be long before CS6 is updated.
I don't know exactly how it works, but from the anandtech article, I get that the "computer side" can only throw a 1920×1200 (or smaller) image towards the "screen side" of the MBP, which then upscales it and shows it at 2880×1800. If that's so, it's only useful for reading text. We'll see.
and $3 for the adapter would still be "not nice"
The computer can 'throw' 2880×1800 at the screen. The scaled resolutions are pixel doubled just for compatibility with programs which don't support the retina resolution yet. The Anand tech article you reference talks about how good pictures look at that resolution further down the page. Also, there are Diablo III benchmarks at that resolution out already.
I found this update to be a good suppliment to what's come out in the past couple of days:
The interesting part for me in that article is where they say the main difference between the 15 inch retina (at a comparible doubled resolution) and the old 17″ display wise is that the 17″ is heavier and harder to carry.
I agree the adapter should come bundled as Asus does with the Zenbooks but if you're paying $2200+ for a professional computer, $30 shouldn't be a deal breaker.
You may be correct, but when they show the 5 scaling MODES you choose from, none was 2880×1800. All were way of interpolating a source to 2880×1800. (I suspect the Intel graphics can't handle, with reasonable performance, 2880×1800.)
I'm, convinced what a gain from Retina is a very fine pixel structure but not greater image detail — so less content than on a 17″. (Which I just brought from the Apple clearance store!)
HOWEVER, I think Apple have applications where it is possible to grab a larger than 1920×1200 bit-mapped or vector image and show them full-screen — likely not with the Intel graphics. For example, while normally FCP X simply looks nicer — when you play Full-Screen the source is scaled as needed to 2880×1800.
WARNING1: If a FCP X monitor is showing every third column and every other row from a FullHD file, we all know the upscaling of each pixel in this window to a 4X bigger pixel can/will be ugly.
WARNING2: There will also be scaling in the potential full-screen mode. A DV video will undergo a huge upscale! HDTV will be upscaled, but who knows how well the GPU can do this? 4K2K would be downscaled, easier, but not trivial.
With Apple we can't trust they understand or give a dman about any profession application. For example, they might put a good scaler in FCP X — and do nothing for Avid and Adobe. And, IMO Avid can't afford to do anything for one MBP. And, Adobe might ignore this until CS7.
Retina is of value only why you might put your nose against the screen. For computers, is a bad — although pretty — function.
RETINA SUCKS on 06.19.12 @ 1:17PM
so basically, apple has created a screen that is USELESS and dectracts rather than adds to the on the go experience. let me explain.
1- at 1920*1200 at that screen size, humans can barely see any pixelation unless you have your nose touching the screen. and that is with a perfect eyesight
2- such a high resolution screen requires FAR MORE resources as far as ram and graphic card power goes to render graphics and video. that means more expensive components and far more battery usage with the SAME RESULTS{unless u r doing professional computer design etc}.
3. most movies/pictures on the web and in your storgae will be too small to utilize such high resolutions and look VERY SMALL or VERY BLURRY if upscaled.
4. the upscaling function can counteract {3} but it uses more processing power/energy and gives you, AT BEST, results as good as having the same sized image on a lower resolution screen{the best result for PERFECT upscaling is to make the image/rendering look as good as the ORIGINAL lower resolution image}
so why not have a lower resolution to begin with?
5. 2880p can not perfectly upscale 1080p no matter WHICH graphics card u put in.
6. apple would have been better off trying to upgrade pixel edge shape and brightness/ colour gamut and quality of the screen itself rather than upping the pixel count like this. professional mobile work stations with 1600×900 screens at 15.6 inches will look and do every jub MUCH better than this thing.

The Week 15 game between the New York Giants and the visiting Washington Redskins is not going the way the home team expected in the early going. The Redskins hold a 10-0 lead early in the second quarter.
Washington quarterback Rex Grossman has already thrown a pair of first-down interceptions through one quarter of play, but the Giants have been continually halted by an uncharacteristically stingy Redskins defense. The Redskins jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first quarter despite the Grossman picks.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Grossman finally found a man in the end zone, as he completed a 20 yard pass to Santana Moss for the first touchdown of the game by either team and a 10-0 Redskins lead.
Grossman is now 7-for-11 on pass attemptys with 77 yards, two interceptions and a touchdown. The catch was the first in the game for Moss.
For more on the two teams, check out New York Giants blog Big Blue View and Washington Redskins blog Hogs Haven.

Martini lovers, this is your lucky day
By Liz Balmaseda
Today is National Martini Day, which is an extraordinary thing for a Wednesday. Not many toast-worthy things happen on Wednesdays, so this mini-holiday is a welcome disruption for midweek blues. (And certainly it beats Monday's distinction as National Eat Your Vegetables Day.)
The question is, where to indulge in your 'tini of choice? Some ideas:
Brio Tuscan Grille locations are pouring five-buck martinis all day today. Included in those are Brio's fruity Flirtini, berry delicious Razzberritini, peachy Bella Pesca, and herby Lemon Basil Crush Martini.
Brio has three Palm Beach County locations: The Gardens Mall (3101 PGA Blvd., Palm Beach Gardens, 561-622-0491), CityPlace (550 South Rosemary Ave., West Palm Beach, 561-835-1511), and The Shops at Boca Center (5050 Town Center Circle, Suite 239, Boca Raton, 561-392-3777. Online: BrioItalian.com; on Twitter @brioitalian; Facebook.com/brioitalian
The Ancient Olive shop in Delray Beach is hosting a drink-making demo from 6 to 7 p.m. tonight. The shop's team will be offering tips on how to spruce up your cocktails by adding flavored white balsamic vinegars. It's a free event, but donations will be accepted to benefit Easter Seals. Attendees get a free martini and light hors d'oeuvres. The Ancient Olive: 514 E. Atlantic Ave., Delray Beach
Ceviche, the tapas spot in Delray Beach, is serving $4 martinis all summer long. Try a Pepino Sucio, a spicy, dirty martini, with a kick of muddled jalapeño, dill brine and pickle. Ceviche: 116 NE 6th Ave., Delray Beach.

Dave Winer linked over to a Canadian podcast directory. That's very cool. He asks whether there's interest in a community podcast directory. I'm interested. I'd like to work on that with other people and I won't just link to cool PodTech.net stuff, either. It's bigger than one person, or one company, too.
It's too hard to find good podcasts. I know, I'm actively looking for them and it's really hard. There's a lot of them out there and you can only listen to one or two a day (I have more time than that, but the average person won't).
One thing I'm gonna do is do a blog just for Dave where I link to one podcast a day that I think he should listen to. Why? Cause he asked me to. Of course you can suggest stuff to get to Dave (and everyone will get to read that RSS feed too). I'll listen to anything sent my way and decide whether it's worthy or not to send along to Dave. Sound interesting? How about I do a feed for you? What would you like me to find for you?

By JILL MCNEAL6 News Anchor/Reporter
KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero presented her proposed budget to city council members and the public Friday at Ijams Nature Center in South Knoxville.
"This budget that I'm about to present is really, not ultimately about finances. It's really about a vision for our city, how we will grow, what services we will provide, and what quality of life we all will enjoy," Rogero said.
The net proposed city budget is $295.8 million, with the general fund making up about $183.2 million, which amounts to a 1.45% increase in the general fund from last year.
Among the mayor's proposed budget items were three main capital projects - a new public works complex for $15 million, $5.2 for building demolition at Lakeshore Park, and $10 million in investments at the Knoxville Zoo.
"The plan is to become a national leader in the conservation of Malayan tigers, to build a state of the art amphibian and reptile conservation center and to further enhance Kids Cove," Rogero explained about the zoo funding.
Those projects would mean $31.4 million in new debt.
"When the costs are very low in the market and construction costs are still very competitive, it makes sense considering we have a lot of borrowing capacity, it makes sense to use some of that capacity to go out to the market to fund these big projects and get them over with," Rogero said.
City employees would also receive a 2.5% pay increase, if the mayor's budget is approved.
Mayor Rogero wants to invest money in bringing a lower-cost airline to McGhee Tyson Airport.
Her budget also calls for improvements to the Civic Coliseum and roadway projects.
You can read the full details of the budget on the City of Knoxville website.
Hearings on the budget proposal were held last month, with city departments submitting their requests.
The biggest request came from the Knoxville Police Department to cover the cost of additional ammo and 40 more officers. The request amounts to $4 million in new spending.
The mayor did not include that in her budget.
"That is an operating expense which we just don't have the funds for," Rogero said.
"We can do a heck of a lot more with more officers, but as I've said, we continue to do great things with what we have," Police Chief David Rausch said.
The mayor did include funding for a new police academy to bring the department up to full strength. There are currently 404 officers on the force. The budget allows for 416.
The fire department is also asking for a little more than a half a million dollars for equipment upgrades.
City administrators have already said the 2013-2014 budget will not include any property tax increases.
Remember, all of this is just the mayor's suggested budget. It still has to be approved by the city council.
They'll be discussing it on May 21 and 22. The public can weigh in starting at 5 p.m. on May 22.
The city is currently operating on a general fund budget of $180 million.

Seeding is up for grabs in the AFC, while five teams fight for two spots in the NFC playoffs in Week 17.

The Week 17 game between the Redskins and Cowboys for the NFC East title has been flex into the primetime slot.
Vikings upset Texans 23-6

Vikings figure to look different at receiver
After this season, the receiver position is set to undergo a facelift in Minnesota, with Percy Harvin's return still to be determined.
Week 15 Players of the Week

Kalil is headed to Hawaii after all. Kalil was added to the NFC's Pro Bowl roster Friday to replace Washington Redskins tackle Trent Williams, who was hurt in a brawl at a Honolulu nightclub.||||||| Kalil was the fourth overall draft pick last April and immediately established himself as a top player at one of the game's most important positions. He helped pave the way for Adrian Peterson to rush for 2,000 yards and usually faced the opponent's top pass rusher as the protector for Christian Ponder's blind side. He is the fourth Vikings rookie to make the Pro Bowl since 2007.
The Minnesota Vikings have signed Kalil, their top draft pick and the last player from their 2012 draft class to reach a contract.||||||| Terms weren't disclosed Thursday, one day before the team opens training camp in Mankato. Kalil was the fourth choice overall from Southern California.

20The 5 Worst Dressed at the 2013 SAG Awards
Is it me, or are the bad dresses always the most fun? Because personally? I think the bad dresses are always most fun. And you know what's also kind of fun? That two 'Big Bang Theory' stars showed up to the SAGs looking like a basket of beat ass. Well, wait. To be fair, Johnny Galecki (who took the number one worst dressed spot, along with his girlfriend, Kelli Garner) showed up to the SAGs looking like a basket of beat (greasy) ass, while Kaley Cuoco, in the number five slot, looked … well, she looked comical. Cartoonish, even. And also, that big hair of hers makes her head look huge. Coming from someone who has a big head herself, I can tell you: one thing you never want to do is tease your crown, because it's going to look like … well, that. Yike.
Here's the rest of the worst dressed!
#4 – Anne Hathaway
#3 – Jane Lynch
#2 – Sigourney Weaver
#1 – Johnny Galecki and his girlfriend, who is not Courtney Love, despite the uncanny resemblance
January 28, 2013 at 9:30 am by Sarah
20 Responses to "The 5 Worst Dressed at the 2013 SAG Awards"
Kaley Cuoco would look great if it wasn't for that hair. Her dress is pretty.
Isn't that AnnaLynne McCord with J. Galecki?
Galecki does not look bad unless his hair is greased back. Kaley, gorgeous dress, ridiculous hair.
I actually love Kaley's dress, it's adorable. Helmet hair on the other end, is awful. If you had a "5 Worst Hair Styles of the SAG Awards" then she'd be more appropriately judged. The dress is fab.
I think Kaley's dress is really pretty, Johnny looks swell and his gf's dress is kinda nice too. Do definitely no worst dressed here.
But they all have a bad hair day.
I agree with everyone else, Kaley's dress is beautiful. the hair has issues, but if this is worst dress & not worst hair I don't think she belongs. The rest are hot messes :)
I can't believe these people have stylist !!!! I would fire them immediately and didn't they look in a mirror before they left the house or have a friend that would tell them they look like shit !!!
Worst dressed is more fun because it's easier to pinpoint exactly what the problem is.
Kaley Cuoco's dress is pretty, it's the hair and makeup that reek. Also, is it just me, or does her dress make her look like she has shorty short legs compared to the rest of her body?
I think Kaley just has a large head and Johnny's date looks like Courtney Love.
I like Kaley's dress plus she's really pretty, the hair though… well it's been said already. Johnny on the other hand looks like every over guy ever, but I'm trying to remember when we've last (or ever) seen him with a girlfriend? Doesn't he usually hide them? This seems serious.
Jane Lynch – LOL. Domina.
Sigourney's is so baggy in the chest area it looks like she's smuggling bundles of elephantitis-stricken starfruit.
I swear every time I see Sigourney Weaver she looks more like the Alien.
Jane Lynch- bondage up top, prom down below.
This picture doesn't show Kaley's dress all the way to the floor….it's a HORRIBLE length…really just not good. It makes her look really short. I love her to pieces but thought she did not look good at all.
Oops…guess it does. Those ads cover it. Still hate it.
Oh, Sigourney. You're so much better than that. :(
Johnny Galecki is rocking his " this is me style" and his girlfriend Kellie Garner is stunning. Look at all the red carpet photos……these two are top FIVE!
kaley's dress is beautiful! what are you talking about?

Thirteen Die On Kentucky Roadways Last Week (June 11 through June 17)
Date of News Release: 06/18/2007
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that 13 people died in 12 separate crashes on Kentucky's roadways from Monday, June 11 through Sunday, June 17, 2007.
Ten of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and six of the victims were not wearing seat belts. The seat belt status of one of the victims is unknown at this time. Three victims were operating motorcycles and two were not wearing helmets. One of the fatalities was the result of a crash that involved the suspected use of alcohol.
Floyd County reported one double-fatality crash. Jefferson County reported three single-fatality crashes. Single-fatality crashes also occurred in Carroll, Crittenden, Kenton,, Mason, Perry, Todd, Warren and Washington counties.
Through June 17, preliminary statistics* indicate that 377 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2007. This is 10 fewer than reported for this time period in 2006. Of the 309 motor vehicle fatalities, 185 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 35 motorcycle fatalities, 19 were not wearing helmets. Of the 18 ATV fatalities, 14 were not wearing helmets. Fifteen pedestrians have been killed and a total of 91 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

For eleven seasons of his fifteen-year MLB career, Lopez was the force behind the plate for the Atlanta Braves, catching for Cy Young winners Greg Maddux, John Smoltz and Tom Glavine, while also carving out a reputation as one of the best clutch and power-hitter catchers in the game.
Although he would spend his final playing years with the Baltimore Orioles, then later the Boston Red Sox, his legacy as the once sixteen year-old undrafted free agent turned Atlanta star will always be remembered most by his fans.
A three-time All-Star, Lopez also cemented his tenure with the Braves by being named the National League Championship Series (NLCS) Most Valuable Player in 1996, as well as winning the 2003 Silver Slugger Award, the 2003 National League Comeback Player of the Year Award and being a member of Atlanta's 1995 World Series team.
His journey from humble beginnings in his native Puerto Rico to his rise as one of Major League Baseball's prolific catchers is still overwhelming for Lopez to reflect upon — but one he still feels very blessed for.
"When I look back, it's so hard to believe that I achieved all of the incredible goals that many players just dream of accomplishing," Lopez said. "I often catch myself saying, 'Wow, I really did that.' I have to say that I was really grateful and fortunate to receive the opportunities that I did — with it and the drive and heart that I put into the game, those moments in my career were possible. It was a dream come true in every sense."
Since his retirement in 2008, Lopez has been staying busy with several projects. His autobiographical book, "Behind the Plate: A Catcher's View of the Braves Dynasty" that chronicles his upbringing through his MLB career was recently released.
He is also founder and CEO of Bonesbats.com — a professional hardwood bat company where customers can customize the look, design and color of a birch, maple or ash bat to order through the website.
Through his company and the baseball tournament it sponsors, Lopez is also able to enjoy one of his favorite hobbies — spending time with fans and teaching a new generation of players the skills of the game.
"We like to give these young people the experience of swinging a wood bat like major league players do. Most young people do not get to do that because aluminum bats are frequently used at their age, so our tournaments allow them to develop their hitting earlier," Lopez said.
"At the same time, there's the reward for me of being out there with them and watching these young players hone their skills. It's really a great time for them, but also for me as well."

family crack
This area is referred to as commonly "Hashidate". Or It is called "Family crack" from climbers. It has 22 routes that are mainly crack route and their grade are from 5.7 to 5.12c. you just good to practice clack climbing. You can see well climbing from the bridge.
Shirinashi river runs across Izu highland and It is pouring into the sea.It is named "Tajima falll".A...
The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

Charlottesville police say new leads on the weekend officer-involved shooting just off the downtown mall are pouring in.
Police say Frank Brown, 56, of Albemarle County and Leon Brock, 22, of Culpeper County were involved in an incident just outside the Elks Lodge (I.B.P.O.E. of W. Rivanna #195) on 2nd Street Northwest early Saturday morning, on March 16. According to search warrants, Brown shot Brock after Brock and others jumped him. Charlottesville police Officer Alex Bruner arrived on the scene, told Brown to drop the weapon, and then shot Brown.
A Charlottesville police spokesman says investigators are following up on each individual lead to see if they can clarify exactly what happened inside the Elk's Lodge early Saturday morning that led to the shooting.
Police have taken a notebook containing a list of people inside Elk's Lodge that night.
"Where we pick it up at is at the scene itself and then we'll start to piece, put the pieces of the puzzle back together from where it all originated and things of that sort, which is all apart of the process for the investigators," said Lt. Ronnie Roberts of the Charlottesville Police Department.
Brown is listed in fair condition at the University of Virginia Medical Center. A hospital spokesperson won't comment on Brock's condition.
Officer Bruner is currently on paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of a Charlottesville Police Department investigation into the shooting.

After breakfast we proceed to Skardu. We temporarily leave the Karakoram Highway at the confluence of the Indus and Gilgit Rivers and turn eastwards to Skardu.
Day 5: Sites of Shigar
In the morning we visit Shigar Village to see the 14th century Amburiq Mosque. One of the most ancient mosques in the Shigar Valley, it was built by the Amir Kabir Syed Ali Hamdani, the first Islamic preacher in Baltistan who converted the majority of the people to Islam. Stroll around in the village and visit the small local bazaar and the intricate Khanqa-e-Moallah Mosque. In the afternoon relax or enjoy an optional hike in the Shigar Valley. Dinner and overnight in Shigar.
Day 6: To Skardu a.k.a. Little Tibet
After breakfast, we depart for Skardu, the capital of Baltistan and is the gateway to the beautiful trekking routes in the Karakoram mountain range. Skardu is also known as "Little Tibet" and the local language is called Balti which is spoken in Baltistan, Kargil and Ladakh regions in India. This morning we visit the local bazaar followed by lunch at a local restaurant.
Day 7: To Hunza Valley a.k.a Shangri-La
We have an early morning departure for the Hunza Valley driving along the Indus River, stopping in Gilgit for lunch. After lunch, we visit the Bazaar and a suspension bridge dating from the Raj era, which is considered to be one of the longest suspension bridges in Asia.

Awesome pics, gang!!!!
phenominal pictures! keep'm coming!
--- Invalid image id: 106608198 ---
I'm loving the photos of Red Rock with snow, I hope to make it out there someday when that happens. Does it only happen every few years or so?
Dan, what awesome photos you just posted; thanks for sharing!! Re: snow in Red Rock; that was a high record amount of snow in Red Rock (2 feet, I believe). The last time on record that it snowed that much was 30 years ago. I rushed out there as soon as they cleared the road, and opened the loop to cars; I didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to enjoy the beauty, as I knew the snow would melt rapidly, as soon as the sun shined, as it does in the desert. I hope it happens again, but we may have to wait another 30 years, or so. : )
Thanks for the compliments and info on snow in Red Rock. Not likely that I will encounter it unless I am really lucky then, since I would have to anticipate it and drive/fly 7 hours to get there....I'll cross my fingers.

Police chiefs unite against domestic violence
Updated 11:06am Friday 15th February 2013 in News By Mark Tallentire, Reporter (Durham)
TWO of the region's elected police chiefs joined forces with people across the globe to say no to violence against women today (Thursday, February 14).
Ron Hogg and Vera Baird, the Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) for Durham and Northumbria respectively, spoke at a One Billion Rising (OBR) rally in Durham Market Place.
The OBR campaign saw Valentine's Day events take place across the country and worldwide to highlight that one in three women globally – one billion in total – are victims of violence at some point in their lifetime.
Durham's lunchtime event featured dancing, poetry, speeches and various stalls.
Ms Baird, a former Redcar MP, said: "This is women fighting together against violence.
"There have been huge changes. Power has shifted. Now Ron and I have got the budgets and we're putting our money where our mouth is."
Ms Baird said she was working with Mr Hogg and Cleveland PCC Barry Coppinger to produce a regionwide strategy aimed at tackling violence against women.
Mr Hogg said: "About a third of violence crime in County Durham and Darlington is domestic abuse.
"In the 21st Century, it beggars belief that we're still in that situation."

Emergency crews are responding to several grass fires along Interstate 20 near Hallsville.
A truck pulling a horse trailer was traveling westbound on I-20 when the truck had a blowout. The blowout resulted in sparks that ignited six fires along the westbound side of the interstate. Investigators believe that fragments of the tire landed in dry grass along the side of I-20 and sparked the blaze.
These fires stretch from mile markers 605-609. These mile markers are located near Farm-to-Market 450 in Harrison County.
Eight fire units, along with two bulldozers operated by the U.S. Forest Service, are dispatched along the four mile stretch and are trying to smolder the fires.
As of 12:30 p.m., the fire was contained, but some areas are still on fire. Interstate traffic has not been affected.

DRV8835 Dual Motor Driver Carrier
This tiny breakout board for TI's DRV8835 dual motor driver can deliver 1.2 A per channel continuously (1.5 A peak) to a pair of DC motors, and it supports two possible control interfaces for added flexibility of use: IN/IN and PHASE/ENABLE. With an operating voltage range from 2 to 11 V and built-in protection against reverse-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature, this driver is a great solution for powering up to two small, low-voltage motors. The carrier board has the form factor of a 14-pin DIP package, which makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1″ perfboards.
Compare all products in Brushed DC Motor Drivers.
Texas Instruments' DRV8835 is a tiny dual H-bridge motor driver IC that can be used for bidirectional control of two brushed DC motors at 2 to 11 V. It can supply up to about 1.2 A per channel continuously and can tolerate peak currents up to 1.5 A per channel for a few seconds, making it an ideal driver for small motors that run on relatively low voltages. The DRV8835 is a great IC, but its small, leadless package makes it difficult for the typical student or hobbyist to use; our breakout board gives this driver the form factor of a 14-pin DIP package, which makes it easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1″ perfboards. Since this board is a carrier for the DRV8835, we recommend careful reading of the DRV8835 datasheet (208k pdf). The board ships populated with SMD components, including the DRV8835, and adds a FET for reverse battery protection.
This board is very similar to our DRV8833 dual motor driver carrier in operating voltage range and continuous current rating, but the DRV8835 has a lower minimum operating voltage, offers an extra control interface mode, and is 0.1″ smaller in each dimension. The DRV8833 has a higher peak current rating (2 A per channel vs 1.5 A), optional built-in current-limiting, and no need for externally supplied logic voltage.
For higher-voltage alternatives to this driver, please consider our A4990 and DRV8801 motor driver carriers.
We also carry a DRV8835 dual motor driver Arduino shield that makes it easy to incorporate this great driver into an Arduino project.
Using the motor driver
Motor and motor power connections are made on one side of the board and logic power and control connections are made on the other. Each control input is pulled low through a weak pull-down resistor (approximately 100 kΩ), so the driver will be in the IN/IN mode if the MODE pin is left disconnected, and the driver outputs will be disabled by default. The driver requires a motor voltage between 2 and 11 V and a logic voltage between 2 and 7 V; the logic voltage can typically be supplied by or shared with the controlling device.
The DRV8835 features two possible control modes: IN/IN and PHASE/ENABLE. The MODE pin determines the control interface. Setting the MODE pin high, either with a pull-up resistor or a driving-high I/O line, sets the driver to PHASE/ENABLE mode, where the PHASE pin determines the motor direction and the ENABLE pin can be supplied with a PWM signal to control the motor speed. This mode is generally easier to use as it only requires one PWM per channel, but it only allows for drive/brake operation. (Drive/brake operation usually provides a more linear relationship between PWM duty cycle and motor speed than drive/coast operation, and we generally recommend using drive/brake operation when possible.)
Advanced usage with IN/IN mode
When the MODE pin is disconnected or low, the control interface is IN/IN, which allows for slightly more advanced control options. The following truth table show how to achieve drive/coast and drive/brake operation using the IN/IN control interface:
Real-world power dissipation considerations
The DRV8835 datasheet recommends a maximum continuous current of 1.5 A per motor channel. However, the chip by itself will overheat at lower currents. For example, in our tests at room temperature with no forced air flow, the chip was able to deliver 1.5 A per channel for approximately 15 seconds before the chip's thermal protection kicked in and disabled the motor outputs, while a continuous current of 1.2 A per channel was sustainable for many minutes without triggering a thermal shutdown. The actual current you can deliver will depend on how well you can keep the motor driver cool. The carrier's printed circuit board is designed to draw heat out of the motor driver chip, but performance can be improved by adding a heat sink. Our tests were conducted at 100% duty cycle; PWMing the motor will introduce additional heating proportional to the frequency.
This product can get hot enough to burn you long before the chip overheats. Take care when handling this product and other components connected to it.
Included hardware
Two 1×7-pin breakaway 0.1″ male headers are included with the DRV8835 dual motor driver carrier, which can be soldered in to use the driver with perfboards, breadboards, or 0.1″ female connectors. (The headers might ship as a single 1×14 piece that can be broken in half.) The right picture above shows the two possible board orientations when used with these header pins (parts visible or silkscreen visible). You can also solder your motor leads and other connections directly to the board.

Colin Read, Everybody's Business
---- — Editor's note: The Press-Republican is suspending Colin Read's column while he is a candidate for Clinton County Legislature. This will be his last column until after the November elections.
Six years of stagnation have broken six decades of steady growth. And, the Census Bureau calculates that minorities will become the majority by mid century.
As society evolves, demographically, ethnically and economically, we see norms today that were unimaginable a generation ago. Government is formulating a rational immigration policy, and individuals are increasingly accepted without regard for their sexual preferences. There are public discussions over other policies that were once almost impossible to discuss.
Some find change scary, some find change exciting, and for the rest, change finds them.
Regardless, there is a mounting need for economic evolution. Almost always, though, change is thrust upon us at the most inconvenient times.
Recognition that our society is evolving at a rapid pace occurs very rarely. Economic evolution arises not in affluent times, because citizens who enjoy abundant economic fruits are reluctant to tinker with success. Nor does change foment in normal times, when people are focused on attaining the American Dream. In fact, we usually only evolve in challenging times when we have exhausted every other alternative.
With apologies to Kris Kristofferson, change is often another word for nothing left to lose. We loosen the status quo only when it seems to fail. Many believe now is such a time. Still in the midst of a global financial meltdown, many people have lost confidence in a bright future.
Societal evolution adds more uncertainty. Wouldn't it be easier if we would explore new possibilities when we are most comfortable and secure?
Our economy and society rarely cultivates universal buy-in on any proposal, especially those that propose change by taking from one group and giving to another. Only through a broad consensus can we forge enduring change. Yet, when so many are financially strapped and scared, how does one dare propose a better way?
We do so by dispelling the notion that change must be costly. Productive change should be an investment in synergies, not the too-familiar reslicing of the existing pie. We must create a rising tide that lifts all boats.
Such an investment in a more innovate future should ask something from each of us, but offer something to all.
People are ready for change if accompanied by a well-articulated vision. For example, imagine if Plattsburgh could assume its rightful place in our nation's historic legacy. Visitors would flock to our region to celebrate our role in nationhood. This new revenue would provide a bountiful return for the minimal investment we could make in our signage, storefronts, streets and our pride.
Given today's struggles, we seek novel approaches to investment in our future. New York has a tradition of trying to purchase prosperity. However, that fiscal philosophy rarely works well for the North Country. Here, folks prefer to roll up their sleeves and sow the seeds of the future from the sweat of their brows. When change is foisted upon us by paternalistic political patrons from Albany or Washington, we don't have a stake in our own future.
However, when we are united by concern for our children and fearful of the decline of rural America, we revive our North Country innovation.
Citizens want to take back our future. Some articulate how our best days are ahead. Meanwhile, the less imaginative merely complain about our past.
Still, we ought to be wary of checkbook dreamers who are willing to kick the can to future generations, or, worse, those with a vision but with no proposal to pay for it.
In these times when people feel beleaguered, we must keep our dreams grounded and fiscally prudent. However, our regional heritage has bestowed upon us the ability to invest in our own future without impoverishing our present. Farmers have done so here for many generations.
Despite our current hardships, we must muster the energy to sow the seeds of sustainability prosperity. We can do so not by slicing the pie more thinly, or complaining too vociferously, but by attracting more opportunities and production today so we may offer our children the future they deserve.
