Just because she killed herself for a stupid reason doesn't mean you shouldn't RESPECT the DEAD. I'm really getting pissed at these posts. Yeah okay she made a few mistakes and was being a slut, doesn't mean she deserved to be bullied to the point where she felt the only way to get away was to kill herself. She did some stupid things doesn't change the fact that she's dead.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Garment Industry Opts for Makeover After Bangladesh Disaster
The factory collapse that killed more than 1,100 people in Bangladesh this April is by no means the first tragedy to strike the garment industry in recent years—but it does look like the culmination of an ongoing PR challenge that could reshape the way major clothing brands market their products. The earliest evidence of this change comes on social media, where companies that had operations in the factory have already begun responding to the demands of consumers and labor activists.
The New York Times reports that many businesses and industry groups now plan to follow the food industry's example by offering the public more detailed information about how and where their clothes are made. H&M and Zara have agreed to sign a new "factory safety accord," and major names like Disney, Nike, and Walmart may follow with campaigns designed to appropriate the "green," "organic," and "fair trade" themes favored by food and household goods marketers in recent years. The purpose of this material, of course, will be to highlight the brands' corporate social responsibility efforts and distance them from horrific accidents like the one in Bangladesh.
It's nothing new for fashion: upstarts like American Apparel began using their own "fair trade" practices as key selling points some time ago. Yet, despite AA's success, retailers like Maggie's Organics and Everlane (tagline "Luxury Basics. Radical Transparency.") remain few and far between.
Not for long.

Chinese man with fake US bank claim gets lifeNovember 19, 2013 @ 6:29 pm
BEIJING (AP) - A Chinese rice trader who shot to fame last year over a bogus claim that he had purchased a U.S. bank was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison on conviction of falsifying invoices to evade taxes.
An Intermediate Court in the eastern Chinese city of Wenzhou issued the verdict against Lin Chunping, saying he had evaded several millions of dollars in taxes through writing false invoices between September 2011 and May 2012.
Lin shot to fame in early 2012 when state media reported that he had taken over a Delaware-based bank for $60 million, and the unprecedented acquisition brought him praise and a political appointment to a municipal advising body.
Overseas acquisitions are a point of pride in China, showcasing its rising economic power. Lin's supposed purchase of an American bank was particularly appealing because it signaled both Chinese triumph and U.S. decline.
The story attracted so much attention that Chinese journalists familiar with U.S. banking regulations checked into the legitimacy of Lin's claims, and the bank turned out to be nonexistent. By June, Lin was arrested on suspicion of the tax fraud.

Effectiveness of Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (rhGH) in the Treatment of Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
rhGH Effects on Health Outcomes Reported in Controlled Trials
Health outcomes of interest include hospitalization rate, antibiotic use, pulmonary exacerbations, HRQoL, bone consequences and mortality. In studies of rhGH treatment of patients with CF, the hospitalization rate was reduced when compared with controls by 1.62 per year. There is insufficient evidence about antibiotic use, pulmonary exacerbations, and HRQoL to estimate an effect of treatment. Bone consequences and mortality were not reported in any rhGH trial.

[794] PTEN Genomic Deletions Is an Early Event Associated with ERG Gene Rearrangements in Prostate Cancer
TA Bismar, M Yoshimoto, RT Vollmer, Q Duan, M Firszt, J Corcos, JA Squire. University of Calgary and Calgary Laboratory Services, Calgary, AB, Canada; Queen's University, Kingston, ON, Canada; VA and Duke University Medical Centers, Durham, NC; McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada
Background: ERG gene rearrangements and PTEN genomic deletions are two of the most common genetic alteration in prostate cancer (PCA). The interaction and significance of those two genetic aberrations in relation to disease development and progression is still controversial.
Design: We interrogated initial cohort of 220 men with localized PCA using fluorescence in-situ hybridization for ERG rearrangements and PTEN genomic deletions.
Results: ERG rearrangements and PTEN deletions incidence in PCA was significantly higher than in HGPIN and benign prostate tissue (p< 0.0001). ERG rearrangements and PTEN deletions were detected in 41.9% and 42.6% of patients' tumors, respectively. ERG rearrangements were never detected in benign prostate tissue; while PTEN aberrations were present at a basal level of 4.6%. PTEN hemizygous deletions showed higher frequency than homozygous deletions within each diagnostic category from benign prostate tissue to HGPIN and PCA (p=0.0001). Furthermore, in 29 cases where all three tissues were available, PTEN genomic aberration levels showed significant difference between PCA vs. benign (p=0.005) and HGPIN (p=0.02) reflective of accumulating genomic aberrations at early stages of disease progression. Within this cohort, 71.4% of homozygous and 44.2% of hemizygous PTEN deletions occurred simultaneously with ERG rearrangements. Stratified based on Gleason score (GS), hemizygous PTEN deletions across various GS groups were observed at a higher frequency than homozygous deletions. However, PTEN homozygous deletions showed positive trends with higher GS, increasing in poorly differentiated PCA (GS 8-10) compared to moderately and well-differentiated tumors (GS 6 & 7).
Conclusions: Our data confirm significant association between ERG gene rearrangement and PTEN genomic aberrations in PCA. Furthermore, our analysis provides further support for the observation that homozygous PTEN deletions can occur within subset of HGPIN lesions, and show accumulating genetic aberrations with disease progression, evidenced by higher detection in PCA vs. HGPIN and increased PTEN homozygous deletions in Gleason scores 8-10 vs. 6-7.

WHY IT WORKS: Aniston's hairstylist Chris McMillan gave her a face-framing bob, cutting hair shorter in the back and longer in the front. The angled effect makes the cut modern, not too blunt or overly layered.
HOW TO GET IT: Ask for an angled bob that starts at the nape of the neck and follows your jaw line. Keep the ends one length, and go easy on the layers.

Off to the races with Ericsson
Categories: Industry Technology
NASCAR attracts close to 200,000 spectators each event and today they are networked to a great extent. Fans send text messages, tweets, load up photos and they can also follow the communication between drivers and their crews with their mobiles. This puts high pressure on mobile networks and therefore the operator Sprint has chosen Ericsson to help optimize the networks.
On February 26 2012, the Daytona 500 race was halted and the drivers found themselves under a red flag. NASCAR driver Brad Keselowski then chose to pick up his phone while waiting for the race to restart and began posting status updates on Twitter.
Keselowski's initial tweet spread like wildfire – it was retweeted over 5,000 times and his Twitter follower base tripled in 24 hours. His live status updates would not have been possible without the additional network capacity and coverage provided at the race site.
When attending a major event, it's easy to forget that a lot of thought and effort has gone into the planning process. In addition to the venue, utilities, equipment, catering, transportation and crowd control, organizers must now consider the increased load on the telecommunication network that results from a large number of people gathering in a relatively small area.
Conveniently for NASCAR, the series' title sponsor is Sprint. In order to cope with the increased network demands experienced on a race weekend, Sprint partnered with Ericsson.
The plan was to create a temporary mobile-network solution for each race site to provide the additional capacity required – using a mixture of 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi. The solution needed to be flexible so it could be built up for the weekend, torn down and moved to the next race site. In essence, this could be compared to building up and tearing down a mobile network that could provide communication services for a small city. Add to that the fact that this needed to be done 38 times a year. This was quite a challenge.
Using its vast network-design and planning experience, Ericsson had the solution. This involved a phase of analyzing the existing network to understand the specific requirements of each site. Depending on the capacity needs, careful planning and design determine if there should be five or more portable cells on wheels (COWs) deployed. During the days leading up to a race, Ericsson ran tests to optimize the network and fine-tune the equipment.
But testing is one thing – it is when the NASCAR teams arrive and start their practice sessions that data usage starts to kick in and the network is really put to the test. And when the fans arrive, the usage skyrockets. During the race, to maintain network stability, Ericsson monitors, optimizes and performs active traffic management in real time. A lot of things can go wrong, but due to the careful planning, experience and proactively of the Ericsson team, network incidents are often fixed before anyone even notices they have happened.
Ericsson's ability to support communication networks during periods of intense load is not limited to the 38 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races that take place each year. The company performs this role at many major events throughout the world.
More facts
- Network capacity during a NASCAR Sprint Cup race can be as much as 3.5 times higher than it is at the same venue when a race is not taking place. Impressively, it takes just three days to assemble the temporary network that achieves this feat, using a mixture of 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi.
- A Cell on Wheels (COW) is a complete mobile base station placed on a truck. It is used to support major events and includes radio antennas and backhaul solutions. Multiple COWs can be deployed to build an extensive capacity booster.
- More than 50 transmission links need to be connected.
- The mix of 3G, 4G and Wi-Fi represents a very "dirty" radio environment, calling for careful network design and optimization.

PHILADELPHIA, PENN. — Brock W. Jobe, the ADA Award of Merit winner for 2014, addressed a question on many minds: whither the antiques field? At a dinner in his honor at the Philadelphia Antiques Show on Saturday, April 26, the scholar, educator and indefatigable booster for American decorative arts told guests that the future has arrived and it needs our enthusiastic backing.
"I would like to take a moment to salute the students who are here tonight," said Jobe, Winterthur Museum's professor of American decorative arts since 2000. "They are the future. They share our passion for the field, but they don't have an easy task. In the years to come, they must find a way to engage the public; to make art and history meaningful, exciting and relevant. They can't do it alone. They need our help."
Nearly 200 guests turned out for the event organized by the Antiques Dealers' Association of America, including dozens of Jobe's protégés, past and present. Keynote speaker Louisa Brouwer, the Israel Sack Inc Archives Fellow at Yale University Art Gallery, stressed Jobe's gift for identifying and developing individual potential. She recalled, "My parents didn't believe me when I told them that Brock perpetually levitated two inches above the ground, usually when he was under furniture. He has something special."
Noting that Jobe, who will retire from Winterthur in 2015, has touched lives with his scholarship, vision and energy, she concluded, "Brock, we commend you and request that you not stop crawling under furniture just yet."
Another former student, ADA President Judith Livingston Loto, said Jobe's 1993 book Portsmouth Furniture: Masterworks from the New Hampshire Seacoast stimulated her interest in antiques. Jobe's greatest gifts, she said, were his ability to share knowledge, make others smile and instill passion in others.
Tom Savage provided color commentary. "You may be surprised that Brock and I were both born in Virginia," began Winterthur's director of museum of affairs, who kept the audience in stitches with a comical presentation likening the affable professor to John-Boy in the hit television series The Waltons, also set in Virginia.
"We had the pleasure of working together at Colonial Williamsburg with Graham Hood, who inspired and encouraged so many young scholars," said Savage, who met Jobe in the late 1970s on the campus of William and Mary College in Williamsburg. Later, at Historic New England, Jobe was among the first to champion the study and conservation of historic upholstery, said Savage, lauding his colleague's "gentlemanly charm, generosity of spirit and enthusiasm for the decorative arts."
Accepting the award, Jobe singled out his friends in the trade, among them auctioneer Ron Bourgeault; Jack O'Brien and Gary Sullivan, who collaborated with Jobe on the 2009 book and exhibition Harbor & Home: Furniture of Southeastern Massachusetts, 1710–1850; and dealers Clark Pearce, Arthur Liverant, Stephen and Carol Huber, Peter Eaton and Sam Herrup.
"My hat goes off to all of you for what you have meant to this business," he said.
Jobe also acknowledged Barbara, his wife of 47 years, and their two sons. "I can't tell you how pleased I am that they put up all those years with a father obsessed with museums and historic houses, a father who always wanted to look at one more piece of furniture," he said.
Instrumental in organizing the annual dinner, Liverant acknowledged, "It's like having a bar mitzvah every year. Sometimes the weather cooperates, sometimes it doesn't." Past winners include Albert Sack, Elinor Gordon, Wendell Garrett, Betty Ring, R. Scudder Smith, Satenig St Marie, Dean F. Failey, Joe Kindig, Philip Zea, Jane and Richard Nylander, Morrison H. Heckscher, the American Folk Art Society and Peter Tillou.

So I thought my baby would be big enough to use the Ergo without the insert -- not quite. She can't do the splits. And I see a lot on line about how you can use a blanket instead, but I'm not sure how. Should I roll one up on the bottom for her to "sit"on and then another around her back? Any tips or sites or (hopefully) pics or video? I"m a very visual learner, apparently.
I've been wearing her in a Sleepy and a RS for weeks, but I wanted to try the Ergo for long hikes. I think it might be more comfortable for me than the Sleepy is now that she's 12 lbs.
From my understanding, the insert isn't just to keep their legs in a more comfortable position, it's also to protect their head/neck before they have good head control. The Ergo website recommends using the insert up to 4 months I believe.
That being said, I got my Ergo when DS was around 3 months old, and never got an insert. BUT, when I wore him I was extremely careful not to jostle him around and if I needed to move in a way that might jerk his head around, I would put my hand up for support.
Instead of the insert, I used an aden + anais swaddle blanket rolled up, and I kind of curved it under his bum along the line of his legs. So I centered the roll at the middle of his bum and let the ends run under his legs if that makes sense.
But again, if you're planning on doing serious hiking and moving around, as your LO is still younger and presumably without excellent head control, I would bite the bullet and get the insert. Better safe than sorry.
I was just going to ask the same question. DH got me an Ergo Sport for Christmas but I got it last night instead. woo hoo! He and I didn't know that we would need the insert and none of the stores in our area sell Ergo products, so we'd have to order it online. I don't mind that and will probably order it, since DD is only 1 month, we'll use it for a while if I really need it. But I really really wanted to use it today while we finish our Christmas shopping and this week while family is in town and we're out and about.
I'm going to have to hunt online to see suggestions of how to use a blanket instead.

Updated: February 12, 2013 2:59PM
Last week, Gizmodo ran a story laying out the history of the Beats By Dr. Dre line of headphones. It's worth reading. When I finished it, I thought about all of the times I've seen people wearing those signature cans on the street and on the subway.
I was left wondering if, maybe, senior Apple executives see a missed opportunity every time they see a set of Beats headphones on the street. A key to Apple's success is a lean product line, and they were wise to abandon peripherals and focus on products with screens and CPUs. But in a way, it's the perfect Apple product. It's a direct interface to the human senses. It's a product that puts industrial design front-and-center. It would put the Apple logo on trains, buses, and sidewalks. The markups are ungodly.
And headphones are, emphatically, a consumer product. Apple, you'll recall, dropped the word "Computer" from their company name over six years ago. They define themselves as a consumer electronics company and at this point, only old-timers who remember borrowing Mom or Dad's hole-punch to turn a single-sided, double-density floppy into a double-sided one for extra storage continue to think otherwise.
That's why I'm predisposed to think favorably about recent rumors — bolstered by mostly speculative stories in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal — that Apple's working on a wristwatch. In fact, a watch is such a natural idea for the consumer-focused company that I wrote about it in 2011. A wristwatch ticks off a lot of checkboxes that the Apple-branded television set (last year's white-hot rumor) doesn't.
Apple products succeed in part because they create an emotional connection to the consumer; if the spirit of an adorable sneezing baby panda were reborn as an electronic product, then that gadget would have an Apple logo on it. What's more intimate than a wristwatch? You don't carry it. You wear it directly on your skin and you can gaze upon its bright, shiny face at the slightest impulse.
A watch doesn't impose the same kinds of design limitations as a phone or a computer, either. The design on those items can go only so far before engineers encounter an electrified fence, beyond which design interferes with function. Apple's certainly been willing to singe their hands on that fence (witness the MacBook Pro, the $2,300 notebook with no high-speed network port) but they aren't willing to lose a limb.
A watch is inherently a stylish item. It needs to be slim enough that it can fit underneath a buttoned shirt cuff but other than that? All bets are off.
Popular speculation about the design of this rumored watch has mentioned all kinds of new technologies for producing curved glass. The display industry has been doggedly developing curved color screens...Samsung showed off some interesting and functional samples at the Consumer Electronics Show last month, too. That's obviously a good match to an electronic device that wraps around a wrist.
I'm not completely sold on a curved watch screen, though. Flat glass panels, however mundane they might seem, have a killer feature: They're only affected by glare from a single angle. Shift your wrist slightly and the mirrored image of a nearby lamp or window goes away. A curved screen would always have at least one band of unreadable real estate, I reckon.
The coolness would come from more mundane things like an alloy or an assembly process: shapes and forms that couldn't have been mass produced just five years ago. There is no design wonk like an Apple design wonk. You or I might be mesmerized by the enigmatic angular profile of Sargent's Madame X; Apple's designers get so moon-eyed over the properties of zirconium-titanium alloys that they sometimes forget their own home addresses and need to be led back to HR and have a card pinned to their sleeves.
Rumors are naturally centering on all of the features that Apple could put into a smartwatch. Who's phoning you right now? Check caller ID and reject the call in two seconds, without taking your iPhone out of your pocket. Plenty of watches can do that today.
Apple has two technologies, however, that could bring a smartwatch into new territory.
Don't undersell Apple's app notification system just because it appears to have been ripped off from Android and Growl. The pull-down mechanism and pop-up/fadeaway behavior are surface manifestations of a powerful infrastructure that Apple's been shipping and improving for six years. It allows apps to push alerts and notifications wherever they need to go, even across the Internet, and to arrive at their destination whether the target device is fully awake or not. Every iOS and MacOS device already has a sophisticated switchboard for managing notifications from dozens of sources. An Apple smartwatch could simply be a new destination for those centralized alerts. Would developers even need to modify their apps to target the watch specifically? Maybe not; out of the box, an Apple watch could be a busy extension of your phone and desktop.
Secondly, there's Siri. After you're done asking Siri where to bury a body and if these shoes make our butts look big and having a good laugh over it, think of Siri in the abstract: it's a user interface that works with the bare minimum of input and output hardware. All Siri needs (beyond a microphone) is one button to activate the feature and screen size is almost irrelevant. Even if Siri didn't speak back, all of your Siri interactions lead to either a one-line response or a spartan little card of information...beautiful reductions of data that fit marvelously into a watch-size screen.
The Android OS has its own voice-enabled search assistant. It's great stuff, but it skips over something subtle. Siri wastes absolutely none of your attention. Ask Siri about the weather and it gives you the temperature and tells you if you need an umbrella today. It responds to even complex queries with a single, short sentence. Even when you ask it to do something complicated, like schedule an appointment with people from your address book, its sole response is to ask if it's interpreted your request correctly.
It's not just the perfect interface for a device with a wristwatch-sized screen...it's the perfect attitude. Wristwatches aren't immersive devices. They're cursory ones based on action-response. What time is it? Done. Who wants to keep their wrist raised long enough to do something tricky? Particularly when they almost certainly have a phone that can do a much better job without causing quite so much lactic acid buildup.
Finally, any great Apple product makes all of Apple's other products more useful and valuable. An Apple smartwatch can receive notifications from phones, tablets, and desktops, it can control media devices...it can even hook into Apple's Passbook payment system. Flash your watch at a scanner, get coffee. Simple.
Let's not move on without speaking of "lock in." If it makes your iPhone more useful then the watch will make the iPhone more valuable. That's a big win for Apple in a world where the iPhone is just a top-tier smartphone among many.
Good, good, good.
I still can't help but be skeptical. I see a lot of barriers to an Apple smartwatch:
1) Could a watch have the sort of features that I'm describing and still be a watch?
It's fun to lean back and stroke my beard and speak of Siri and Notification Center. But those are technologies that run on OS X, the basis of Mac OS X and iOS. OS X runs on a "real" CPU, and real CPUs require real power.
Even without those technologies, a smartwatch needs to communicate with the phone in your pocket. Radios also suck down power. The display of a mobile device is traditionally a huge consumer of electricity, but that's not a major worry; an Apple smartwatch would use a tiny screen incorporating ultra-low-power display technology, and Apple has demonstrated a great deal of skill at power management.
Nonetheless: Unless this watch was the size of a juice box and packed with cells, you would expect it to run for about a week on battery, tops. I tried wearing my sixth-generation iPod Nano as a watch last year and I gave up after a few weeks. My Geek force was strong, but when the novelty wore off I realized that I had added an unnecessary element of new stress to the problem of knowing what time it is.
Power consumption is a large enough problem that it raises the stakes on an Apple smartwatch. Apple would need to put together a set of features that are so simple and compelling, and which work so well, that consumers are willing to deal with the hassle of charging.
(But here's a good place to underscore the reasons why Apple replaced the old 30-pin iPod charging/syncing cable with the new ultraslim Lightning connector. It allows Apple to build smart devices of almost any size or thickness.)
2) Is Apple really willing to train the world to want this kind of device?
A smartwatch that controls and communicates with other devices seems like a great gadget to me. But I'm not in any way the kind of mainstream consumer that Apple covets. How many consumers still wear watches? How many consider it a social faux pas to unpocket a phone to see who's calling?
I see the same scene in every restaurant: phones on the table. I dunno if these people's lives would be simplified by moving the notification from the table to the wrist. Particularly when an important notification would then require you to pick up your phone anyway.
And the people who don't say hello, sit down, and then set their phones down next to their salad forks don't feel as though they need to react to an incoming call or email within moments. All other functions are easily handled by the phone they already own.
I'm just not sensing the proverbial Pain Point in any existing process that a smartwatch will solve. Again I refer you to the the lack of a high-speed network port on Apple's high-end laptop. This is a company that focuses on consumers, not power users. A power user will be thrilled to get information without having to remove a phone from a shirt pocket. A consumer won't even get that far into the watch demo. "It's square? I hate square watches. And it's a $149 watch that dies after a week? Wow."
But: if any company can create a useful consumer context for a smartwatch, it's Apple. iPad became a success because Apple made no attempt to deliver the power of a desktop computer in a slim tablet. It worked because Apple expressed the most important core functions of a computer in a way that makes sense for a simple consumer device.
3) Style is a major issue. A watch that's big on a man's wrist is usually crazy-stupid-huge on a woman's. Can Apple make a watch that works for both sexes?
Can they even make a watch that doesn't call attention to itself?
When you see iPhones in the field, they're almost always customized with cases. Can Apple come up with a design that will appeal to the idiosyncratic fashion whims of tens of millions of consumers?
4) A smartwatch seems like exactly the sort of product that Apple could royally screw up.
Spiritually, Apple doesn't like things to be open and they don't like to cede control of their products to the community of people who use them. Apple would need to aggressively curate all of the watch's functions on their own. It'd be a useful watch even if all it did was hook into iOS and MacOS notifications, but that's just one function. And again, Apple will be asking consumers to spend a lot of money on a watch that they don't know they need that runs only a week on battery. It needs killer apps.
I also wonder if Apple could make a smartwatch that worked intimately with all of their other products. An iPad, iPhone, and a Mac can swap data fluidly. But they always appear to be three computers sharing a network, as opposed to a shared, single experience. It's easy to imagine Apple making a watch that tells me "You need to go back to your iMac now because of this event that's just happened." The huge win of an Apple smartwatch would be the watch telling my iMac "Andy has just gone from a sitting to a standing position and he appears to be walking. If you're asleep, you should wake up and refresh his Inbox because I think he's heading for the downstairs office."
2000 words later, what do I think about these rumors? I think they're highly speculative. The watch that the New York Times and Wall Street Journal describe would be very expensive, cumbersome, inconvenient to keep running, and wouldn't deliver any clear feature or solve any kind of problem that plucks the heartstrings of the huddled masses yearning to breathe the ionized air of their nearest Apple Store.
I'm not expecting to see an Apple smartwatch anytime soon.
I still hope that Apple turns their attention to watches.
My instincts on Apple rumors are usually helped by imagining the keynote presentation. Whatever credibility I give to the wristwatch rumor is due to my seeing the following scene so clearly:
"We were all around a conference table at Apple one day last year," Tim Cook begins, pacing confidently. "Suddenly we noticed that all of us were wearing analog wristwatches. None of us wore digital watches. And why...?"
"...Because none of us had ever seen a digital watch for sale that we ourselves would want to own and wear every day. So we made one." And then Tim pulls up his shirt cuff.
I'd love to see Apple do a project like this as a pure design project. Forget making a smartwatch that does everything. Design a watch with only three mandates: tell the time, be wearable, and include some sort of simple yes/no indicator that tells the wearer to check their phone.
Above and beyond those three things, it would only have to be beautiful. The iPhone, the MacBook Air, and other Apple products are genuinely beautiful. They're informed by a thousand practical variables, however. I want to see what Apple Design comes up with when they can devote less of their energies towards working out how to fit a larger battery that supports a larger display, and more of it towards producing a handsome but functional personal adornment.
I'd also like for this watch to be affordable. There's an ugly side to the emergence of Apple as an internationally-recognized symbol of cool: it feeds in to the highly acidic Culture of Wanting Stuff. But although Apple is an aspirational brand, their products rarely priced completely out of reach of ordinary consumers. Here in the US, an iPhone costs the same as any other smartphone. The difference is that the Apple product is at the apex of design and construction instead of being made cheaply and thoughtlessly.
A $99 Apple watch — or how about $79? — would deliver top-of-the-list design to folks on a modest budget. When you're running for your train and you don't know if you're going to make it, yes, you're grateful for that momentary blip of pleasure when you find yourself looking at a beautiful, well-made object. Apple's well qualified to deliver that kind of experience.

Farm Forward: Against Animal Abuse in Factory Farming
01 Jan, 2010
Numerous philosophies—and sciences as well—incorporate the principle that all life is interconnected. Harming one sector of life brings harm to others. The evidence in this age of global ecological crisis has never been clearer.
According to non-profit advocacy group Farm Forward, in the last 70 years—a tiny blip in the history of farming—cruel, unsustainable factory farms have grown to the point where they produce more than 99 percent of the domesticated farm animals raised to provide food in the United States. Globally, livestock now cover 30 percent of the earth's surface. During this same period, industrial farming methods have devastated rural communities by reducing the number of farmers in the nation by 85 percent—even as the US population has more than doubled.
Farm Forward goes on to state that, given the unprecedented scale of production and consumption, it is no surprise that the food choices we make when we eat, along with how and where these foods are produced, have a bigger impact on our own health, the animals' well-being, global warming and other major environmental concerns than any other single activity.
Industrial Inhumanity
"The definitions of what a factory method is can be open to a bit of interpretation," Ben Goldsmith, director of Farm Forward, told Organic Connections. "But for the average consumer—you know, for me, my family, my friends and my community—the common practices within these facilities would warrant cruelty-to-animals charges if done to a dog or a cat. I don't know if there is really any question in our minds that what is happening is wrong, and it is certainly more indicative of an industrial system than anything we might imagine, based on some idyllic farm from days of old.
"Because of this industry, turkeys are no longer capable of reproducing without human interference," Goldsmith explained. "Chickens are bred to grow so quickly they are not able to stand or stand freely after just several months of their lives, and they certainly can't live out the normal life span that they once could. Cows and cattle are confined to feedlots by the thousands and cramped in filthy conditions. Hogs in most states are routinely confined to crates so small that they can't turn around.
"Recently there was an investigation into a chicken hatchery by a leading animal advocacy organization that made national news. This video was shot in one of the largest hatch facilities in the United States and is representative of true industry standards. The hatchery was producing baby chicks that were intended for egg production. When the chicks hatch, the males and females are separated; females are sent to facilities that produce eggs and the males are destroyed.
"Once grown, the chicks are confined in cages where each bird has less than a standard piece of printer paper's worth of space. The vast majority of these hens will live their entire lives crammed into these tiny cages, standing on a wire-mesh floor."
Similar conditions were also graphically depicted in the recent documentary Food, Inc. (see Organic Connections, September–October 2009).
Medicated Food
Due to the environments in which these animals are raised, increasing amounts of antibiotics and antimicrobials are used to ward off disease. According to a recent report by the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production entitled Putting Meat on the Table: Industrial Farm Animal Production in America, "Major risk stems from the routine use of specially formulated feeds that incorporate antibiotics, other antimicrobials, and hormones to prevent disease and induce rapid growth. The use of low doses of antibiotics as food additives facilitates the rapid evolution and proliferation of antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria. The resulting potential for 'resistance reservoirs' and interspecies transfer of resistance determinants is a high-priority public health concern."
The Pew report also concluded: "The present system of producing food animals in the United States is not sustainable and presents an unacceptable level of risk to public health and damage to the environment, as well as unnecessary harm to the animals we raise for food."
Reversing the Trend
Fortunately, Farm Forward is making great strides in reversing these trends. Farm Forward implements innovative strategies to promote conscientious food choices, reduce farm animal suffering, and advance sustainable agriculture. Incorporated in 2007, they are at the forefront of pragmatic efforts to transform the way our nation eats and farms. Their executive staff and board have been working on behalf of farmed animals since the early 1990s, and this accumulated expertise helps solidify Farm Forward's unique role as the first centrist organization where disparate interests opposed to the abuse of animals on factory farms can unite in coordinated and effective ways.
Farm Forward's board of directors is representative of forces that have been united and would most likely have never come together under other circumstances. It includes John Mackey, chairman of the board and CEO of Whole Foods Market; Frank Reese, owner and founder of Good Shepherd Turkey Ranch and president of the Standard Bred Poultry Institute; Jonathan Safran Foer, novelist; Jonathan K. Crane, PhD, ordained rabbi and ethicist; and several notables in other fields.
Much of Farm Forward's work is done through consulting. "Our CEO, Steve Gross, has been providing consulting services to some of the largest animal advocacy non-profits in America for many years," Goldsmith related. "He has helped groups like PETA [People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals] create mass corporate campaigns, which have resulted in some of the most meaningful victories for farm animals ever. And he's been instrumental in negotiations between these advocacy groups and corporations to find common ground where the lives of animals can be improved while corporations can continue to do what they do best, which is to produce products that people want."
Gross has helped lead successful negotiations between animal advocacy groups and some of the nation's biggest companies—including McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Safeway and Whole Foods Market—which have bettered the living conditions for hundreds of millions of animals. Gross is currently working with animal advocacy groups such as Global Animal Partnership, The Humane Society of the United States, and PETA to address the urgent need for increased auditing to ensure that companies properly implement animal welfare improvements following a negotiation. Experience has shown that auditing, which is often neglected, is a crucial part of real progress in chipping away at the most troubling methods of factory farming.
Farm Forward has also been working to get laws changed in favor of animals. "Just in Michigan we've seen some incredibly promising legislation pass recently, which will increase the life span of hogs and chickens confined in cages so small that they can't turn around for their entire lives," Goldsmith said. "It echoes the landmark legislation in California that took place in November 2008, which did much the same—mandating changes to farm policy and animal handling, no longer permitting pregnant sows, as well as chickens that produce eggs, to be confined to cages so small that they can't turn around."
Another major step by Farm Forward was achieved in November 2009, when board member and best-selling author Jonathan Safran Foer released his book Eating Animals—a unique exploration and deeply personal exposition of the issues that arise from factory farming and the alternatives that are available to conscientious consumers. The New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle and Esquire call Foer "brilliant," and his previous works have been translated into 30 languages.
It is through such vehicles that Farm Forward helps to bring about the change that will really count—a shift in general thinking. "One of the major ways that we are making a difference is promoting the production of culturally significant works to change the conversation about food in this country and to change how we individually and together think about our obligations to the animals we are eating," said Goldsmith. "I believe that Jonathan's book does just that. And the response to this book that we observed from people on all sides of this issue, even before it was published, is just so heartening to see. This conversation is really beginning to shift."
Good Shepherd Turkey Ranch
Some very important work is also being done by Farm Forward board member Frank Reese, who runs the Good Shepherd Turkey Ranch in Lindsborg, Kansas. "Frank Reese maintains what are now the last viable flocks of true standard-bred heritage turkeys and chickens in the United States," Goldsmith continued. "They are one of the last diverse and viable flocks in the world. Frank is committed to protecting and preserving poultry species that are capable of, among other things, natural reproduction. They lead long, productive lives outdoors and are not given any antibiotics. For a large percentage of their lives they're free to come and go, and they have immune systems that have been lost in industry poultry for decades."
This year Reese plans to breed 15,000 standard-bred turkeys, 40,000 standard-bred chickens, 500 ducks and 200 geese. He sells them through a local market and online through Heritage Foods USA (www.heritagefoodsusa.com) and his own site (www.reeseturkeys.com).
A new label for Reese's poultry has been approved by the USDA, a complicated process. It includes the descriptive words Heritage and Standard Bred, and specifies that the chickens are not younger than 16 weeks old.
A heritage chicken is a standard breed of chicken (as defined by the American Poultry Association)—such as the Buckeye, the Java or the Jersey Giant—which can reproduce naturally, grows slowly and can thrive outdoors. These birds were once raised by small-scale family farmers around the country and bred for hardiness, survivability and flavor. They are now in danger of extinction because of mass-market industrialization.
What Can Be Done
"Everyone can help by making conscientious choices every time they sit down to eat, and certainly by learning more at farmforward .com or by reading Jonathan Safran Foer's new book," Goldsmith concluded. "Retailers specifically can reach out to organizations like Farm Forward to begin a discussion on the kinds of practices they should be favoring for various types of animal agriculture, and then take a look at their own policies of what they can do to encourage their producers to strive to incorporate the newest and most humane and sustainable practices available to them.
"There are a great number of small changes that make a large difference, and often it takes the retailers reaching out to their own suppliers to demand these changes before anything is done. So it's very important that retailers begin to understand the amount of power and responsibility they have in determining the way the product they sell is produced, and maintain relationships to the extent possible with individual farmers to ensure that the farmers are upholding these standards that their customers would expect. They can also support progressive farmers like Frank Reese by supplying his product and by educating customers on the difference between a Good Shepherd Turkey Ranch heritage turkey and the other turkeys available in the supermarket."

"Love Will Find a Way"
Season 1, Episode 2
Jun 13, 2008 01:46 PM ET
TV Guide News
This week's episode of Swingtown began as Trina and Roger and Tom and Janet paired off in Janet's spotless kitchen over hot apple pie and to the dulcet tones of Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling." Heh - it's a dream sequence, of course, but what a nice surprise to find out it was Janet's dream sequence. If this kooky show sticks around, I am eager to see how Janet's repression eventually, you know, expresses itself. Captain Tom has been promoted to the Tokyo route, as a result of a loose-lipped Tammy, who spilled more than coffee when she told the other girls at the airline about her playtime with the Deckers. Which means - "with all these women-libbers out there," as Tom's boss puts it - they need to be separated. The Tokyo route will mean more time away from home, and though Trina is supportive, you can tell she's not crazy about the idea. What kind of trouble will the Deckers get into when they're left to their own separate devices? I'm seeing some geishas in Tom's future. "We are not swingers," says Susan to Bruce, eliciting a promise from her husband that their fling with the Deckers was a one-time thing. (The audience laughs heartily.) Bruce agrees to the pact, and it's cute to see how amused they are with their dirty little secret. We have credits this week! They remind me of VH1's I Love the '70s and the theme song, "Give It Up For Love," sounds a lot like rocker chick Liz Phair, who is scoring the series. Trina is on her morning jog/hunt, and just happens to bump into the Millers to tell Susan that she left an earring over at their place after the "party." ( Nudgenudge.) She invites herself to spend the day with Susan, which includes sexual terrorism at the grocery store ("Hey Susan, buy one, get one free," chirps Trina, as she cups twin melons that look like, well, you know...). Since it's TV, they run into Janet, who has been avoiding Susan since the party and cancels their weekly bridge night, claiming she has other plans. This show is all about meeting new couples, so it was nice symmetry to see Janet and Roger having the worst dinner ever with the new (and insufferable) neighbors, while Susan and Bruce and Trina and Tom meet up with Sylvia and Brad Davis at the Playboy Club, where women are not only allowed, they're encouraged! Sylvia used to be a Playboy Bunny when she was putting herself through law school. I thought this was kind of a funny wink to the all those strippers out there (I've heard) who tell you they're studying to be a veterinarian or something to get bigger tips. Since Swingtown is clearly trying to make a statement about the expression of freedom in the '70s, they need to have these Forrest Gump-like characters who witness important historical moments and/or represent social trends. So, tonight, Sylvia stands in for all women's libbers because she's (gasp) a lawyer who also apparently enjoys swinging. Paul Hincamp, the insufferable neighbor, on the other hand, represents all that remained conservative in the 1970s, a Communist-fearing, anti-Carter crank who doesn't allow his wife to speak. Paul was a nice foil for Janet, who seemed to be the only one in the room who didn't realize what a putz he was. I think it's clear where the writers' loyalties lie. Yay, Playboy Bunny lawyer lady! B.J. and Rollergirl forge a weird kinship tonight when he brings some additional provisions to her runaway campground. They exchange meaningful looks and Samantha talks about her MIA-in-Vietnam dad. When B.J. tells her that her mom's fella appears to have left her, and - more importantly - that her mom doesn't seem to have noticed that she has run away, Sam returns home, even more sullen than before. This girl needs a hug, huh? Ricky pops up for moral support, but isn't so fond of "crazy" Samantha, which is unsurprising. Laurie Miller (or Mini Ali MacGraw, as I like to call her) goes downtown to see a feminist version of Waiting For Godot with Logan. He makes fun of the play, embarrassing Laurie in front of her dreamy philosophy teacher and his playwright girlfriend. While it's true that Logan is a chump of the first order, I'm kind of with him on his theater review: That play looked terrible. And that's basically it. Not a lot happened. There were a lot of foreshadow-y details that appear to be setting up the coming episodes. Roger and Susan had another breathless, mutually admiring conversation at the train station, where we learned that he liked the swingers' party, and also liked Susan's dress. I'm hoping this week's big reveals - in particular, that lady-lawyer business card that Susan found in Bruce's trousers - will yield some interesting payoffs in the weeks to come. Also, it's clear that the Deckers - certainly Trina, who caressed Susan's earring with the same intensity that she did her hand last week - would like to have more than Quaalude-free evenings out with the Millers, so how long do you think that pact is going to last? Next week: Fondue party! With kissing other people's spouses! Don't be a square: Watch full episodes of Swingtown in our Online Video Guide Buy selections from this episode's soundtrack at LastFM So, are we still on board the Swingtown Express? It's true that this week's episode was definitely a local train, slow as it was, but I'm still sticking in there for now. How about you?

Fine China
Blue-and-white porcelain is still all the rage
By Mitchell Owens
Tastemakers from 18th-century monarchs to designer Ralph Lauren have nursed a passion for blue-and-white porcelain. But no collector was more obsessed than American artist James McNeill Whistler of "Whistler's Mother" fame. In the 1870s the dashing expat bought it, painted still lifes of it, and created the infamous Peacock Room, a radically chic dining room in London, whose gold-dappled walls were loaded with prime examples of Chinese porcelain. "Chinamania" at the Freer Gallery in Washington, D. C.—where the Peacock Room now resides—celebrates the artist's obsession with blue-and-white porcelain and how his love for this precious commodity launched a fad that persists today.
"Chinamania: Whistler and the Victorian Craze for Blue-and-White," through August 2011, Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution; http://www.asia.si.edu.
