My process for this project went very smoothly. I didn't really plan a plot or anything, I just wrote and wrote and wrote. I did not face any challenges, I actually enjoyed doing this project and writing this story.

In my 10th grade English and History class we learned about many things that go on in the world. Many problems and many situation past and present. Both of out English and History classes interlaced with each other. Specifically in class we were taught different things about revolution and how they start. We also were taught about how money effects people's status around in the world. Also we learned about Power in different ways. Clear examples of this were our Haiti unit with Jean Dominique , Papa and Baby Doc, and Jean Bertrand Aristide. That unit showed us a lot of what we've been learning about all year. What we have mostly been learning about is Power, money and how many situations in the world are solved that involve those things.
1st General understanding
One of the topics of study that stood out to me the most were talking about a world renowned author named "Edwidge Danticat". She wrote a book called Create Dangerously that is a collection of essays. The essays were essays she wrote in the past and incorporated in her book. She talks mostly about her life in haiti and in the united states that involves lots of personal struggle. One thing that i noticed from reading this book is that When there is personal Struggle, successful people seek outside help to change their reality. In the first chapter of create dangerously she writes, "Create dangerously, for people who read dangerously. ... Writing, knowing in part that no matter how trivial your words may seem, someday, somewhere, someone may risk his or her life to read them." When i first read this quote it had me thinking, and that's exactly what our year had in it, topics that had our brains thinking wildly. I wrote about this quote in one of my journal entries. I said "how about you think deeper than face value, when it first says. "Create dangerously is for people who read dangerously" and before reading anything else in that quote to me it said that the book create dangerously is for people who are willing to risk something and be in danger to read that book, because that's what it was about. Then later on in that unit the class wrote a letter to Ms. Danticat and in my letter i made an honest statement and said "I have told my grandpa about you and some essays in the book and he seems a little less interested. But then I told him to give reading it a try and he honestly fell in love with it. I barely have time to read it my self, it's always in his hands." Now looking back on it i was interested in the book a lot.
2ndGeneral understanding
In my English class we started off the year with an intro mini unit. We had to write a poem about just about anything. I first thought that it would be dumb and boring but when i did it it was wonderful. My feeling along with that tied in with the feeling of the class at first. I thought that everything would be dumb boring and pointless. Even the starting thing off in the class was interesting. That started me off with a new idea of what the class would be like. After that i knew everything would be interesting and a new approach to learning. In my poem i called it the prisoner of love. It was deep and i was new to things in the class. One thing that stands out to me now that i look back on the poem i wrote is a line that says "But love can be thrown out, To express your feeling And rampage can be due to anger, Anger that drives a whole in your heart, And kills love Then there is no show of that feeling, So now there is just hatred and sorrow, And since there is no love, You hold in that anger as if it's a prisoner, Not just as an angry prisoner, But now A prisoner of love…". That was how i ended the poem off and it is amazing to know i was capable of something like that in the beginning of the school year. I have learned a lot through the year which is in retrospect a short amount of time but i was capable to get it in and learn and try my best. I had my bad moments in class but in the end i learned a lot and i know it's going to be helpful in the future, all thanks to my English/History teacher, Mr.Block.

Humanities Portfolio 2012
Throughout the year in English/History I have learned and experienced through many different and disputable topics. On the very first day as I entered through Mr. Block's classroom and as several weeks gone by, I was still uncertain about the expectations in his classroom. Later in the year, at some point there were times when things had came to mind on many controversial lessons that was taught in class, and I have always questioned myself because of these classes. How are these units that we are covering in class going to have an impact on me? In many substantial ways, it did had an impact on me and I was struck by it, especially through written essays, the poem studies unit, as well as The Art in the Open Festival, and all of these controversial topics has lead me to the general understandings of struggles, challenges, and hard work.
One of the greatest understandings that I have experienced and learned from was Struggles, and all of the struggles that I had gone through was told through written essays that were assigned in class. In English class, we are often given a writing assignment on a topic that addresses to our ability of understandings in the storyline of a book, which can also correlate to our own life, or a written essay of a reflection from our past experiences that we struggled through in which can be learned from when is expressed through writing. At the beginning of this year, the very first day of school, Mr. Block assigned us a "One page" paper that night where can just write about anything; your intentional thoughts, current situations, life, anything that you want to put down in that one page, and the next day in class, we would have to gather around in a circle to share out a part of out one page story. The start of this assignment started out as, "The instructor said Go home and write A page tonight. And let that page come out of you --- Then, it will be true." Before Mr. Block gave us the writing time in class to get a head start on this one page assignment, I thought it was going to be easy since it was only a page of a writing. I though I could write this paper and get it done in less than twenty-minutes, but as writing time as come, I struggled through the writing time we had in class and several hours at home as I tried to think of what I wanted to write down for this one page. I came to an idea after several hours later thinking in mind, "This is my sophomore year, I am in a new stream, I will be in a same classroom with different faces that I have not met nor worked with last year, I am in a new learning environment, and with a different teacher who will be instructing me for the year." This gave me an idea of wanting people to know a little more about me. I started this paper off as a basic intro, then worked my way through the life in crisis which was such a hassle for me to go through. Sharing was one of my biggest struggles in the beginning of the year. I can confidently say that the struggles had impacted on me from wanting to share my stories, but one of the greatest release from those struggles were having some feedbacks from people in the classroom, and feeling good about expressing what I wrote, which made me had more confidence to have my voice be heard. The only reason that held me back from speaking up was the thought of judging from people's opinions, but those were the main reasons from how I managed to break out from my own little bubble and had more confidence to share out some my own thoughts.
Another general understandings that I experienced and learned from was challenges and hard work. As I already said before, the topics that was taught in Mr. Blocks class are controversial, which made some of the assignments difficult and challenging for me. There was one project that I had a very hard time with was the project to The Revolution Guidebook. For the Revolution Guidebook, we had to design and create a guidebook that presents unique perspectives about revolutions in the world, it was more of a project as a creation of "Revolutions For Dummies," in a slides/presentation format, and in a way to show our project, we would have to present it front of class along with a voting on the best project presenter to present again at a final round. It was one of the most challenging projects I did this year for History class. It took me several days to adjust the point of this project. Although it took me rigorous time to figure out the point and what to do for this project, I managed to put in all my efforts complete this project the way it's supposed to be done.
Another example of a challenging process in English/History class was the dancing performance that was coordinated by Leah Stein group. From the very first day ( when we started our first steps by introducing ourselves using our own movement that matches the syllables of our names, first workshop at the Amorine, and working our way towards to put together this dance performances, there were many expectations that I had in thought, that changed my mind into thinking that there are many other ways where you can possibly expressed yourself through dancing (freestyle) than just dancing in general. Working with many different objects to make sounds, using different techniques to express yourself in a way you want others to see, and many of things which makes your movements seems unique in other people perspectives. Before we started this whole process, I thought dancing was more like a technique where people would danced to or follow by the rhythm of a certain song; more like free-styling in some sort of ways, but it has changed my perspectives in many ways. The most challenging part of our Art in the Open performance was coming up with various techniques that we want to show the audience. I thought I couldn't do the dance that my group came up with for the performance, but all it takes was practice. During the performance, I gave in and pour out all of the energetic power inside of me to my dances as the audience glides their eyes towards the performance, and it was the greatest success that I was very proud of al wished to go back to the beginning and start over at the very first step.
This year has been one of the most struggles and challenging for me, but all of these determination to hard work has been the greatest success for me. I would also like to thank Mr. Block for teaching and showing me an open door to my comfort zone in sharing, as well as speaking up, and the experienced from classroom in which I have learned more from. this one one of the greatest learning experiences and I will never doubt any of the works I have done, hard work pays off.

Humanities Portfolio 2012
Throughout the year i have learned many skills in history and in english and in my different journals I show some of the skills I have learned. In this final portfolio I will put some of the quotes that I like the most and that tell a story about my general understandings the most in this final portfolio. I will also talk about some of the projects we did and the ones that I liked the most and why I liked them the most. In this paper you will learn a lot of interesting things about me and a lot about the type of person I am so read on to unveil things most people don't know about me.
The 3 general understandings that I have chosen to write/ talk about in this paper are struggle because this year I have had a hard time and struggled in some classes, faith because when I struggled I had faith that I would be able to still move on and do better even after struggling, and hope because I had hoped to be able to do better and be able to pay more attention and do more of my work to be able to come back from my struggle. I picked these 3 because to me these 3 things are what help me to succeed in life, this class, and in school. To me if you don't struggle in life then you come across a problem you won't know how to solve the problem and then you might get stuck in some point of your life because you don't know how it is to struggle. When you do struggle you need to have faith and hope to be able to get past a struggle because with faith you believe that something will help you get through your struggle and then you won't be as concerned about struggling. If you have hope then you will believe in yourself all the time and never let anything get you down in life and always be able to get through things even if you are struggling with them. I feel like you need these 3 skills in life to be able to achieve your dream and be able to chase your dream and never let anyone get in your way or stop you from achieving your dream.
This year my struggle has been my grades in these two classes and with my relationship with my father, in my journal I have written a lot about my dad and almost nothing that I wrote about him was positive, some of the quotes I have chose are "I don't like my dad" thats the only quote I chose because it says a lot about my relationship with my father. This year I have had my ups and downs in history and english with my grades and from me struggling in one quarter and getting an D it made me have more hope and faith and work harder to be able to get an A the next quarter, this helped me with a lot of my other classes as well because for me to see that I was struggling in this class made me work harder to do better in all of my classes and to stop slacking off. After struggling in this class I started to be more serious about school because this was just the wake up call I needed to be able to do my best or close to it and it helped me become more successful throughout the rest of the year. The unit that I think about most when I think about struggle is the unit when we watched a movie about Radio Haiti because they had a hard time with being able to do their radio show because the people in charge in Haiti weren't on their side so they had been forced to move away but came back twice and kept trying to do the radio show even after the place was shot up and people were killed because they had faith and hope that they would be able to continue on with their radio show.
The unit I think of most when I talk about faith is like when we were talking about the sweatshops because the people that work in the sweatshop have faith that they will be able to support their families and possibly move away from where they are now. Also this is the unit I think of most with hope because they have hope that they will make enough to be able to live a better life then they do now with their families and be able to get real jobs so that everyone in their families won't have to be forced to work.
Overall to me these 3 general understandings are the reason why I was able to do good in history and english because if I didn't struggle then I wouldn't have been able to have hope and faith to be able to get out of my struggle and to continue to do good in the year and improve my grades. This class has taught me to never give up and always work hard try my best and work my hardest so that I succeed in school and have a good future for the rest of my life so I can be able to continue to chase my dream and eventually achieve my dream.

Sophomore year with Mr. Block was one of the most eventful years, with both classes! From the egg on the floor to Art in the Open, nothing was ever the same each day. There were struggles, and achievements, but overall I learned a lot this year with so many different experiences. Finishing up the year, there were many things I've realized looking back at my work. I feel like I've accomplished and gained so much knowledge. For a lot for the topics we discussed, it broadened my views on things. The two main ideas I am going to discuss are about struggle and creativity. "Without struggle there will be no learning," and "Creativity broadens our views on life."
At one point in the year we had our playwriting unit, I remember first starting it and having no clue what to write. I had a few in my mind, but then thought too much into it, and I felt like it wasn't going to be good. I then started looking through Mr. Block's magazines and saw a man working in a mine, and immediately I came up with the idea for my play. My play was about a small family living in a poor part of Brazil. The younger sister eventually had to care for her baby sister because her Mom died in childbirth. Her older brother worked most of the day with the mines. The whole play unit was really great. Although I struggled with writing it and then finally submitting it, we had an amazing teacher come in and help us. Her name was Kate and she was apart of the Philly Young Playwrights. She was great because when she looked at our work, she would really take her time into helping you improve it. "You say the brother has replaced him, which is something I'll bet happens a lot in mining families. Keep working, don't be afraid to use monologue, like Andressa talking out loud to the baby perhaps? How will they feed themselves now? -K"(One of Kate's feedbacks for a scene) This project leads to one of my general statements about struggle. I've always been told you need to struggle through something to be able to learn. If you just did an assignment and had no trouble with it, you most likely didn't learn anything. Creating and putting together this play was much harder for me then I thought. I faced many struggles during the process, but in the end when I submitted it. I learned many different strategies in working on assignments productively, but also efficiently.
Creativity played a big role in both of Mr. Block's classes this year. Almost all the projects had to have a little piece of your own in it. There were small projects that we were able to use our creativity in them, but there were also projects that helped us open up and express our creativity. There was a time in the year where we read the book Passing. At the end we were assigned to do some sort of art piece on a main point in the book. I choose to draw a picture showing different aspects of the main character's personality. This is the drawing I drew with the two faces of Clare. Art in the Open was one of the main events of the year that I saw everyone come out of their comfort zone. It was a great experience, and really fun for everyone to participate in. Here is a picture of my group's site and our wiki. Another project towards the end of the year was creating a poetry wiki. This was very creative in ways where, although we all were on the same wiki and had the same format on each of our pages, everyone's work had their own tweak to it. We were able to express ourselves through the writing of poetry by using our own experiences. My wiki page is here with all the assigned poems.This year was a really event filled year that I'll always look back on and remember the good times and the bad. We had many experiences where we learned about the world, others and ourselves in the world. My two general statements really helped me look back understand my learning throughout the year. I remember the first day of walking into room 307, and now I'll be walking out with a lot of new interesting experiences.

Throughout this year I've learned a lot in Mr. Block's English and History class. So much so that I've broken it down to three general understandings. The three understandings will show take you on a journey through our year here at SLA in terms of diversity, change and struggle. I chose the three because they all have to do with everything that happened this year. I struggled with many things along the way like my grades, home life, projects given in class and with performances done for the school. I also chose to talk about change because change is the outcome of struggle, diversity and whatever i aquire or make out of the situation. Diversity can be talked about in so many ways which is why i chose it. I experienced diversity in the way I learned, what I learned, the different experiences I've gotten to participate in and with racial culture. With our different learning styles and curriculum we learn a lot of life lessons as well as what we need to further our learning at a higher level.
First general understanding I would like to present to you is that change comes with diversity. Not only racial diversity, but diverse and different experiences as well as cultures. In our classes here at SLA we experience diversity everyday by the mixture of racial ethnicity and curriculum.
One program that we had the privilage to participate in was the Art in the Open (Aio) Festival along with the Leah Stein Dance Company. In this festival we went through a process of learning a new culture and way of dance to actually making our own pieces. In a reflection I wrote I stated " This style of dance is something I wasn't used to. I wouldn't even call it dancing. It's more like being one with your environment." I said that because all pieces that were performed were molded and inspired by the surroundings around us.
"This project has taught me a lot of things that i can use in my daily life. Although there is a lot to talk about I learned a lot about playing your part, teamwork and perseverance." In the end of this experience it changed my personal mindset on not only dance but life in general. By being kicked out of our spot and not having our dance ready until the day of taught me about perseverance and helped me fight through my struggles.
Now that the Art in the Open Festival is over my group and I can just look back and laugh at all the hardships we went though. This brings me to my next understanding that everyone struggles with something in life. The outcome is on you, it's what you do with the experience. In the end a struggle/ hard time can be something you look back at and laugh or let it be an obstacle to your success.

It has been an honor to be able to experience this amazing education I have been given the chance to have Mr. Block is an amazing teacher and he has taught all of us to try to learn in different ways and to go and try new thing's. This year we have done a wide arrange of different thing's in English and history. I have learned so much valuable thing's and skills that I can use in my every day life from now on.
One of the most important thing's I learned this year is never procrastinate just don't do it. When I first came into Mr. Blocks class I worked really hard and handed all my work in on time but slowly I started to procrastinate and my work started to not look as good as it could and it would be late and I would do it last minute. As soon as I saw my grades go down I stopped procrastinating and got my butt to work. I'm happy this happen to me because it made me a more determined student and a better learner I think it's really going to help me out next year. Here is a piece of my work that I procrastinated on and that I felt like I could of done better on.
Culture and change were a big part of this year we dissected the world and looked at all different cultures through out the world. Culture is very important to start change or to help cause a change. We learned in are revolution unit about Egypt's culture and how they are trying to stop violent protest and have a more peaceful fair culture and government. We researched social change and how it can affect a culture. For a good portion of the year we were learning about Haiti and what was happening in there government and how the U.S when they tried to help them just cause more problems and weakened Haiti economy experientially. We also learned about there troubles.
Sophomore year in Mr. Block's class has taught me how important my community is and my peer's are. When I say my community I mean a bunch of different thing's from my friends at school to the teachers to the surrounding area of where my school is located we have done many great thing's around are community like putting up murals right out side are school which was meet with very positive responses and praise. We worked with the Leah Stein dance company for 2 weeks and we created are own dance with there and we chose a spot downtown and made are own dance routine it was such a new experience but I loved doing it and trying something new.
This year has been amazing I'm so grateful to have gotten the chance to be in Mr. Blocks class this year I have acquired much needed skill's to go on and learn further and continue my education all thanks to one of the best teachers Mr. Block.
Negative Space
2. I found the negative space in my cut out by comparing the pieces on one side to the other showing what is negative space and what is not. For the stool it was easy to see what areas around the stool that could be filled in and the areas that can't.
3. Negative space helps the author see the drawling better. It helps the artist figure out which parts or the drawling needs to be shaded in the picture and what is the outline.
4. I think drawling in negative space helps enhance the drawling because it makes the drawling pop out and makes it cooler to see the drawling.

Man walking 10 miles to job interview gets help from stranger
Updated On: Feb 28 2013 10:18:12 AM CST
An unemployed Indiana man was walking to a job interview when he got a little help from a stranger.
Jhaqueil Reagan, who has been caring for his siblings since their mom died two years ago, was walking 10 miles in the snow for a job interview for a minimum wage thrift-store position. He stopped at a diner to ask for directions where he met owner Art Bouvier, who tried to convince him to take the bus, but he explained he had no bus fare. Later, Bouvier was driving when he spotted Reagan still walking in the freezing temperatures and offered him a lift, reports WISHTV.com.
Inspired by Reagan's work ethic, he then offered him a job at his restaurant where the commute would be three miles instead of ten. "You hear too many stories about people that want work, but it's got to be the right work...here's a kid who knows there's work available, and it's hard to get, and it's hard to do, but he'll do it," Bouvier said.

iPad Air off to a good start as early usage outpaces previous models 4-to-1
Tracking data from Fiksu suggests that iPad Air adoption may be outpacing both the iPad 4 and the iPad Mini by around four to one. The numbers are as yet very small, but three days in, iPad Air usage hit 0.8 percent of active devices versus less than 0.2 percent for the iPad 4 by the same time …
New Space Gray iPad mini quietly begins hitting Apple Store shelves
Silently announced alongside the new iPad Air and iPad mini with Retina display, Apple has begun selling a Space Gray version of the first-generation, non-Retina display iPad mini at its physical retail stores.
Sources say that the model is now available via several Apple Stores, but not every store. Interested customers should call their store to ensure availability…
Review: Eye-Fi Mobi, a cool idea let down by poor reliability
An increasing number of cameras these days have wifi built-in, allowing instant viewing of photos on your iPhone or iPad, and from there instant sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and so on. Which can leave those of us with less sociable cameras feeling a little left out in the cold.
Eye-Fi has offered solutions to this for some time, in the form of wifi-equipped cards that you can insert into your older or pro camera and transmit the images to a PC or Mac. This approach worked, after a fashion, but had two big problems. First, setup was far from easy, and second, transmission was via a wireless router. Fine at home, where you probably didn't need it, not so fine when out & about, where you probably did.
This was the problem the Eye-Fi Mobi set out to solve: a $50 (8GB) or $80 (16GB) SD card that transmits photos direct to an iOS device running the free Eye-Fi app, with no router required. I decided to give it a try … Read more
New MacBook Air software issue artificially limiting 802.11ac transfer speeds
In its extensive review of the new 2013 MacBook Air, AnandTech notes an issue with the machine's new 802.11ac WiFi capabilities that it says is limiting the faster Wi-Fi chip's potential. While it was able to get an average of 533Mbps using the iPerf networking tool, Anand found real world file transfers would only get 21.2MB/s or 169.6Mbps:
I disabled all other wireless in my office. Still, no difference. I switched ethernet cables, I tried different Macs, I tried copying from a PC, I even tried copying smaller files – none of these changes did anything. At most, I only saw 21.2MB/s over 802.11ac. I double checked my iPerf data. 533Mbps. Something weird was going on. I plugged in Apple's Thunderbolt Gigabit Ethernet adaptor and saw 906Mbps, clearly the source and the MacBook Air were both capable of high speed transfers. What I tried next gave me some insight into what was going on. I setup web and FTP servers on the MacBook Air and transferred files that way. I didn't get 533Mbps, but I broke 300Mbps. For some reason, copying over AFP or SMB shares was limited to much lower performance. This was a protocol issue.
According to the review, the problem is likely with the OS X networking stack that is for some reason artificially limiting the capabilities of 802.11ac: Read more

MacBook Air refresh looks set for WWDC, potentially with faster Wi-Fi
Apple appears set to release new versions of its MacBook Air notebook computer at next week's Worldwide Developers Conference, according to information provided by a source. Earlier this week, we reported that Apple is planning to release four new Mac models at WWDC, and we narrowed this down to either new MacBook Pro with Retina display models or MacBook Air models.
Today, we have received specific pricing for the aforementioned SKUs, and the price-points correspond to Apple's current pricing for the 11-inch and 13-inch MacBook Air models. We have yet to receive pricing information that points to the imminent availability of new MacBook Pros (as some had hoped), but perhaps the next refresh to Apple's Pro portables will arrive in the coming months. Supply constraints to the Retina MacBook Pro line seems to imply that…

Apple ready to release additional iPad model; likely 128GB version (Updated: Pricing)
We've gotten word from sources that Apple is preparing to release (in some fashion) a single, additional iPad model. This would be a new SKU for the current fourth-generation iPad with Retina display line. At this point, we do not have pricing information, so it is definitely difficult to pinpoint exactly what this new iPad model is.
Here is what we do know:
- It is a fourth-generation iPad, not a new design.
- It comes in both the current black and white color options.
- It comes in both WiFi-only and WiFi + Cellular versions.
- It is a more premium SKU that will join the current line of 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB fourth-generation iPads.
- 10-pack deals (in both colors) for educational institutions will be offered.
With developers finding code in the soon-to-be-released iOS 6.1 that points to 128GB iOS devices, and with recent findings of 128GB references in Apple's recent iTunes 11 release, speculation naturally points to Apple releasing a 128GB iPad in the very near future. While it is certainly plausible that this new iPad model is the 128GB iPad, we are currently not confident enough to outright claim that, but it seems likely based on the evidence.
Update: We've received pricing information for this new iPad model. The pricing is in line with a higher storage capacity, coming in at around $799 for the WiFi-only model and $929 for the Cellular-compatible model in the United States. So, new capacity sounds even more likely.
Here are the new SKUs via a source at a high-profile U.S. retailer:
Some LTE iPads getting delivered as early as Friday, Nov. 16
Late last week, Apple started notifying customers that orders of LTE iPad minis would begin shipping within 5 business days. Those same customers were also reporting updated shipping times ranging from Nov. 21 to Nov. 23. As for the new iPad 4 with Retina display, Apple recently updated its website with an estimated shipping time of "7 business days," but today we get word from several readers that existing orders of the device are set to arrive as early as Nov. 16.
The actual arrival time of the iPad 4 with LTE is a moving target, with earlier reports pointing to next week. However, with the release of the LTE iPad firmware on Apple's servers on Nov. 8, it is likely that the review units are already in reviewers' hands. So, a release this week isn't out of the question.
The Nov. 16 date would line up nicely with Apple's original promise to ship the LTE models of its new iPads within roughly 2 weeks of the Nov. 2 Wi-Fi-only launches. It looks like Apple might not be able to get out new orders of LTE iPad minis as quickly as the iPad 4, however, as its website currently lists the LTE capable minis as shipping in "2 weeks".
Other rumors have also pointed to a Nov. 16 launch of in-store sales of the new LTE iPads at AT&T.
We're sure to hear more. Another image below:
AT&T expands FaceTime to individual iOS device users on LTE
Update: While AT&T claims that the move was to safeguard its delicate infrastructure, two public advocacy groups (Freepress, Public Knowledge) are claiming the FCC is looming large. Seth submits a third postulate: The iPad Mini LTE launch later this month will present a chance for AT&T to grab new tablet customers and AT&T doesn't want to lose out to competitors with friendlier offers.
AT&T just announced you could now use FaceTime over cellular at no extra charge on the iPhone 5 and LTE iPad if it is on one of the network's tiered data plans. Today's announcement opens up FaceTime over cellular to a slew of new customers.
AT&T today announced it will enable FaceTime over Cellular at no extra charge for iOS 6 customers with an LTE device on any tiered data plan. AT&T will also continue to offer FaceTime over Cellular to customers with any AT&T Mobile Share plan, as well as FaceTime over Wi-Fi, which has always been available.
Previously, FaceTime on AT&T's network was only available for free if a customer was on its new Mobile Share Plans that became available Aug. 23. AT&T said the new set of users would be able to access FaceTime for free over cellular in "8-10 weeks":
We expect to roll out this functionality over the next 8-10 weeks. In addition, we are informing our deaf and hard of hearing customers that, as of October 26, we began rolling out several new billing plans designed to allow them to make use of FaceTime. This is part of our ongoing commitment to our customers with disabilities, and it's a commitment which is very important to us.
As for the competition, Sprint already announced that it will not hinder FaceTime over cellular, and Verizon is being forced not to mess with it because of a Net Neutrality promise.

Does anyone have any insights into when/under what conditions applicationWillTerminate is called in iOS 5/6?
I've got some logic i'd like to execute whenever the application terminates (not moves to the background), for example if the user navigates to the application bar at the bottom of the screen by double tapping the home button and force quits the app.
when i try to do this on a test device, applicationWillTerminate does not seem to get called. Is there a reason for this?
My plan B is to tie that logic to some persistent object like a singleton or a static that is automatically destroyed when the app quits.
Any suggestions?

Replacing Jonathan Broxton, K-Rod
Not that it's the first time it has ever happened, but any week in which two of the top 10 closers are stripped of their jobs, and therefore the majority of their value to us (be it for the short- or long-term), it's big news in fantasy.
Their accomplishments speak volumes:
• One has the most strikeouts of any reliever since 2006 (459).
• One owns the single-season record for most saves (62, in 2008), and has the most saves of any pitcher since 2006 (209).
In case you can't guess them, or have been on a distant island vacation the first half of August, they're Jonathan Broxton of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Francisco Rodriguez of the New York Mets. Each lost his closer's role for a different reason: Broxton due to poor performance, Rodriguez due to an injury. One has a chance to recover his role in due time; the other one won't get another shot until 2011. Today, let's take a look at their respective stories, and perhaps most importantly in fantasy owners' ongoing quest for saves, the men potentially set to replace them:
You might recall the July 22 edition of "Relief Efforts," which previously discussed Broxton's somewhat diminished velocity. Since that date, he hasn't experienced much more success; while his ERA is 3.86 in nine outings, he blew two of four save chances and had a 1.39 WHIP during that time. Command actually has become a problem for Broxton, as he walked seven hitters in 9 1/3 innings, and in his past 16 2/3 innings overall, he has issued 13 free passes.
Broxton's velocity for the season, according to PitchFx, remains exactly where it was the last time we examined him, 95.4 mph on average with his fastball. But there are a few distressing developments: Since July 22, he has generated just 13 swinging strikes on 144 pitches (9.0 percent), and thrown only 60.4 percent of his total pitches for strikes. At the time of our last examination, his percentages in those departments were 9.5 and 68.0 during an eight-game "cold spell." And from the beginning of the season up to that point, his numbers were 13.1 and 70.3, right in line with his previous career performance. In other words, his velocity is down, he's overpowering opponents less often and he's having trouble locating.
That said, in his past three appearances, two of which came after he was removed from the closer role, Broxton has thrown 21 of 29 pitches (72.4 percent) for strikes, though he has also generated only two swinging strikes (6.9 percent). That's a terribly small sample size, but with continued improvement, a reliever as talented -- and hard throwing -- as him has every chance to recapture his old gig.
Rodriguez, meanwhile, has no chance at reclaiming his role this season, following surgery on Tuesday for a torn ligament in his right thumb that will shelve him until 2011. He reportedly suffered the injury during an altercation with his girlfriend's father a week ago, an incident that cost him a few days' suspension and now has him on the disqualified list until healthy (or overturned by appeal, in which case he'd end up on the disabled list).
Rodriguez's keeper-league owners might not have anything to sweat, as he's expected to make a full recovery in time for spring training, but there are factors that detract from his value there, too. One is that his health will bear watching in the spring. Another is that, according to ESPNNewYork.com, the New York Mets have converted his contract to a nonguaranteed deal, meaning that he can be released at certain points during spring training. Finally, even if the Mets don't cut Rodriguez, they could always trade him; the chances of that are significantly higher than they might have been a week ago, and certainly his value would take a hit if he left pitcher-friendly Citi Field for a more hitter-friendly environment. Closers with question marks aren't always the safest keepers, so keep these factors in mind.
So who benefits from these late-inning changes?
For the Dodgers, manager Joe Torre somewhat surprisingly went against the "managerial grain," picking his most talented reliever, Hong-Chih Kuo, over the one with the most experience, Octavio Dotel. Maybe Dotel's miserable performance for the New York Yankees in 2006, during Torre's reign there, played a part, or perhaps it's simply a manager making the right decision, but whichever it is, Kuo's owners instantly received a boost in the all-important saves category. Add that on top of Kuo's No. 5 ranking among relievers (those with 40-plus innings) in both ERA (1.45) and WHIP (0.85), and No. 13 in strikeouts per nine (11.01) and, if he can hold the job the remainder of the year, he'd have a chance at legitimate top-10 closer value.
That said, Kuo did struggle during a recent Monday outing, allowing three runs in 1 1/3 innings' work to take a loss, and Dotel promptly blew the save by coming on in a bases-loaded, one-out, up-by-two situation and giving up a walk and a game-winning single, so neither reliever is any stronger a guarantee to notch saves than Broxton. It's Kuo's job today, but if the saves numbers for Dodgers relievers from today forward are split somewhat evenly, and go something like Broxton 6, Kuo 5, Dotel 2, would anyone really be surprised?
As for the Mets, who behind K-Rod previously had such a patchwork bullpen that Pedro Feliciano, who might be a LOOGY (Left-handed One Out GuY) on any other team, is on pace to lead the National League in appearances for the third consecutive year, it's anyone's guess who might lead the team in saves from today forward. One thing's for certain: This is an opportunity that extends into October (but only because the season ends Oct. 3, not because the Mets will make the playoffs).
Note: Tristan H. Cockcroft's top 75 relief pitchers are ranked for their expected performance from this point forward, not for statistics that have already been accrued.
Hisanori Takahashi, the reliever-turned-starter-turned-reliever, gets first crack, and he converted his first career save chance with a 1-2-3 inning at Houston on Monday. Since his return to the bullpen, the left-hander has a 2.08 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and .147 BAA in seven appearances, giving him 2.56/1.16/.199 numbers in 24 games as a reliever this season. If there's any huge point in Takahashi's favor, it's that, like Feliciano, he's left-handed, and considering manager Jerry Manuel's faith in Feliciano, it says a lot that a different lefty got the call first. Grab Takahashi, because while somewhat inconsistent, he seems to have an advantage working shorter outings. Also, don't forget the points made in Wednesday's 60 Feet 6 Inches about the Mets' strong schedule for pitchers the remainder of the year.
If Takahashi isn't up to the gig over the long haul, however, who might get next crack? Bobby Parnell, he of the 3.38 ERA in 26 appearances, would be an obvious guess, except that he has a 4.85 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and .280 BAA in 14 games since the All-Star break, dropping him out of the unquestioned primary setup role. Manny Acosta could be a candidate, but command isn't always his friend; he has four walks in five innings in August and had an ugly outing on Aug. 11. Feliciano could get a try, except that taking him out of a setup role means Manuel would have to find someone else to call upon approximately once every other game. Veteran Elmer Dessens could be a dark horse candidate; he has a 1.76 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 33 appearances this season but isn't your prototypical closer, at least not judging by his 3.52 K's-per-nine ratio. Still, as the Mets' most effective reliever -- of the ones still healthy -- this year, Dessens could be a sleeper in deep leagues.
Middle reliever spotlight: Koji Uehara, Baltimore Orioles
Perhaps scouts were right when they hinted that, at the time of his inking a two-year, $10 million deal with the Orioles before last season, Uehara projected as more valuable coming out of the bullpen than the rotation. Somewhat of a disappointment working out of the rotation during his "rookie" season of 2009, partly due to injuries, Uehara has settled in nicely as a reliever since returning from elbow and hamstring issues in late June of this year.
In 16 appearances since his activation, Uehara has a 1.89 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 10.42 K/9, all but one of those outings working at least part of the eighth inning or later. He has been especially dominant since the All-Star break; he has 0.60/0.80/10.80 numbers in 12 games during that time. Right-handers have the most trouble against him; they have .161/.190/.214 (AVG/OBP/SLG) rates against him this season.
But if you know anything about Koji Uehara, it's that he's a pitcher who relies on a fastball that doesn't often reach 90 mph. Per FanGraphs, he has averaged 87.6 mph with the pitch this season, 87.1 in 34 career appearances, and our instincts typically tell us that a pitcher who throws that softly is destined for failure. Not Uehara; he relies a great deal on deception, changing speeds and generating swings and misses with his splitter in two-strike counts, as Inside Edge reveals that he has thrown the pitch 35 percent of the time in those instances in his career. If there's anything that demonstrates the diversity of his arsenal, it's that he has limited opponents to .215/.245/.294 rates with his fastball in 2010. That's right, he's allowing an OPS below .550 with a sub-90 mph fastball.
So what's the relevance to fantasy owners? After all, the Orioles face a treacherous schedule for pitchers, and right now Uehara is mired in middle relief, with little chance at saves. Still, there's something you should consider: Since July 1, closer Alfredo Simon has a 6.10 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in 19 appearances, and ex-closer Mike Gonzalez, despite a 1.69 ERA in 11 games during that time span, has battled health issues of his own. Could Uehara get a sniff of saves down the stretch? Possibly.
Upgrade your roster
Add: Ryan Madson, Philadelphia Phillies.
Drop: Jon Rauch, Minnesota Twins.
Madson's return from a broken toe in early July was somewhat overlooked by the masses, perhaps partly due to closer Brad Lidge's own healthy return more than a month sooner; Lidge has 11 saves and a 3.52 ERA in 17 appearances since July 1 to maintain a stranglehold on the ninth-inning role. Jose Contreras, meanwhile, seemingly had a firm grip of his own on the primary setup gig.
If you're keeping track of the reliever who warrants the role of "Brad Lidge's handcuff," however, it's definitely now Madson. The right-hander has been a sensation in his past 11 appearances, during which he has a combined 11 1/3 shutout innings with 20 strikeouts and a .125 BAA. That's as hot a spell as he has experienced in his big league career, and considering Lidge's shaky history at closer the past year-plus, a handcuff might very well be necessary down the stretch. Madson might even make an impact in ERA and WHIP in NL-only formats.
Rauch, meanwhile, has been in a funk since being demoted from the closer role, with a 7.20 ERA, 2.20 WHIP and .391 BAA in six appearances during that time. It's particularly poor timing, considering new closer Matt Capps is only 5-for-7 in save chances with a 2.45 ERA and 1.45 WHIP in his first 11 games for his new team, leaving the door ever-so-slightly open for a competition. Rauch clearly looks like the Twins' eighth-inning option at best, and a so-so one at that.

President News & Analysis
The Stunningly Static White Evangelical Vote
November 18, 2014 · 11:04 AM EDT
There's plenty of discussion about the difference between midterm and presidential electorates, but there is one emerging constant: the white evangelical vote.
At least one interest group, Ralph Reed's Faith & Freedom Coalition, claimed that conservative Christians played a "decisive role" in the recent midterm elections.…
No Guarantee Democrats Rebound in 2016
November 14, 2014 · 10:47 AM EDT
After suffering heavy losses in the House and the Senate in the recent midterm elections, some congressional Democrats may breathe a sigh of relief now that President Barack Obama is entering his final two years in office.
But the approaching end of the Obama Administration doesn't mean Obama…
Obama's Midterm Loss Record Could Make History
November 1, 2014 · 10:52 AM EDT
President Barack Obama is about to do what no president has done in the past 50 years: Have two horrible, terrible, awful midterm elections in a row.
In fact, Obama is likely to have the worst midterm numbers of any two-term president going back to Democrat Harry S.…
Republicans Use Birth Control as Campaign Wedge
September 9, 2014 · 9:45 AM EDT
Politics is mostly about both parties regurgitating well-established positions (on taxes, the environment, abortion and spending, for example) to appeal to base voters and demonize their opponents. But every so often, candidates from one party try a dramatically new message.
That's what is happening now in a number…
Why Is the Media Ignoring Hillary Clinton?
July 2, 2014 · 10:03 AM EDT
I've been deeply distressed by the lack of coverage of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's new book and of her potential 2016 presidential bid.
What could possibly be more important and more interesting than her past, present and future?
Forget about the midterm elections, immigration reform,…
Obama's New Nuance on His Student Loans
June 13, 2014 · 9:53 AM EDT
President Barack Obama made a fresh case for student loan overhaul with an executive order this week, but he also relayed a much more nuanced version of his own college debt experience.
Over the last couple of years, Obama used his college debt as a compelling anecdote to…
2016 Presidential: Why Hillary Clinton is More Inevitable Than Last TimeSubscriber
May 28, 2014 · 4:58 PM EDT
Hillary Clinton was the clear frontrunner for the Democratic nomination in the 2008 presidential race and managed to lose to a relatively unknown outsider, so why couldn't it happen again? The short answer is that if she runs again, any Democrats who might consider challenging her shouldn't count on…
Why This Year's Primaries Won't End GOP Civil War
May 9, 2014 · 9:49 AM EDT
The Republican establishment is fighting back, but winning a few primaries this year won't do much to end the insurgency from party purists. It only takes one general election loss by an establishment candidate to reignite the fire.
Observers see what they want to see in the results,…
Obama's Foreign Policy Impacts 2014 Elections — Really
April 24, 2014 · 9:52 AM EDT
No, I am not going to try to make the case that foreign policy will be at the forefront of this year's elections, or that international issues are a high priority for most Americans. They aren't.
But foreign policy could have an indirect yet significant impact on the…
Income Inequality: Democrats Have Some Work to Do
January 31, 2014 · 10:52 AM EDT
The 14th question of the Jan. 22-25 NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll produced a set of responses I didn't expect.
The poll asked, "When it comes to reducing income inequality between the rich and the poor, do you want to see the government more involved than it…

The Vandalia Statehouse will reopen in the near future, but it does not look like the state's oldest existing capitol will host its annual period celebration on Father's Day weekend.
But a local organization is ready to step in and offer a substitute festival that weekend.
The Vandalia Tourism Commission is working on a three-day bluegrass festival, according to Dean Black, commission member and city alderman.
"I think we'll have something that people are really going to enjoy," Black told the city council last week.
Fayette County has been chosen to receive $20,003.00 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the County.
The selection was made by the National Board that is chaired by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and consists of representatives from the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army, United Jewish Communities, and the United Way of America. The local board is charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the county.
The committee charged with implementing Enhanced 911 service in Fayette County learned pretty quickly that it has a monumental task.
But the person leading that committee still believes that the task can be accomplished in a reasonable amount of time.
Fayette County Board Chairman Steve Knebel, who also serves as chairman of the county's new Emergency Telephone System Board, told county board members on Tuesday that the new group has held one meeting.
The process of selecting state Sen. Frank Watson's replacement is under way, and one of the candidates for the job is a local resident.
Randy Pollard, the Fayette County Republican Central Committee chairman, is among the candidates for Watson's seat, which becomes vacant next Monday.
Watson, who has served as this area's senator for more than a quarter of a century and as the senate minority leader for the past six years, announced last week that he is stepping down.
One of two people honored by the Vandalia Chamber of Commerce last Thursday for their service to the community said he didn't think much about the time he has volunteered to serve children in the community.
The other recipient of an Abe Award said he's only one of many giving time to improve the quality of life in Vandalia.
Both Rod Deem and Tom McCarty were recognized for serving the community in numerous ways.
Three months after stepping down as the minority leader in the Illinois Senate, Frank Watson has announced that he will resign from his Senate seat.
Watson, the Greenville pharmacist who has represented this region in the Illinois General Assembly for more than three decades, said Monday that his resignation from the Senate will be effective on Monday, Feb. 16.
Watson cited several reasons for leaving the Senate, among those the need to continue vigorous rehabilitation from a stroke he suffered last October.
Residents of Brownstown and St. Elmo had two opportunities last week to learn about the proposed consolidation of their school districts.
They also had the chance to ask questions about the proposed consolidation, which will go before the voters on April 7.
Each of the two informational meetings – on Wednesday in Brownstown and on Thursday in St. Elmo – drew about 90 people.
By winning a coin toss last Wednesday, John D. Wehrle Jr. gained the top spot on the ballot in Vandalia's mayoral election this April.
The coin toss was held because Wehrle and Rick Gottman, who is seeking a third term as mayor, both filed nominating petitions at the same time.
The third mayoral candidate, Neil Clark, will appear third on the ballot.
A coin toss was also held for the race for a two-year Ward II aldermanic seat.
While Vandalia traditionally has observed Abraham Lincoln's birthday with a celebration, the one for his 200th birthday next Thursday will be a little bit bigger.
As always, the main birthday celebration will be at the Vandalia Statehouse, but even that program will be a little different than the one in years past.
This year's birthday program will be on the second floor of the Statehouse, in the House of Representatives chambers, where Lincoln began his career in politics.

Original GnR Manager Vicky Hamilton Tell All Interview
"Axl had come to my house six months earlier looking for couch to crash on for a night or two, and it ended up being six months.

Dear Tracey, I am not familiar with this line but would like to be! Peter Cailey, who also posts to this list, lives in England and may be able to help you out. My line of the Cailey's came to America in 1735 or so from, I am led to believe, the Isle of Mann (off the coast of England). They settled in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and then moved to Ross County, Ohio and on to Indiana and Illinois where I joined the family during the Truman Administration. It is a large family tree, if you are interested in a printout, I may be contacted at the address listed. Best regards, Mary

Football: Madrid mad for Macca.
Madrid are fuming with McManaman after opening negotiations nine months ago and offering the England star, who is out of contract at the end of the season, a pounds 1.5million signing-on fee and wages of pounds 55,000 a week.
But so far McManaman has refused to sign and Madrid have finally snapped, fearing they may be upstaged by Barcelona or an Italian club.
Barcelona have already tabled a bid to rival Madrid's and are prepared to throw in additional bonuses, a luxury penthouse and a top-of-the-range sports car.
