In this edition of the Migration Information Source's annual Top 10 migration issues of the year, Migration Policy Institute experts analyze key immigration developments and trends that occurred around the globe during 2014. The countdown to No. 1 is underway, with the publication of Issues No. 10 through 4. Come back tomorrow to learn what are the Top 3 issues of the year.
Read Article
Migration to the United States from the Korean peninsula, largely from South Korea, owes its roots to political, military, and economic factors, with an estimated 1.1 million Korean immigrants in the United States. Korean migration to the United States has stalled in recent years, and even declined, with a small but growing number of immigrants and their U.S.-born children returning to Korea, as this article explores.
This country profile analyzes Ecuador's migration trends and examines how remittances and return migration have become an important policy focus for a country with an estimated 1.5 million to 2 million nationals living abroad, chiefly in the United States, Spain, and Italy. As waves of emigration occurred, the country also has experienced significant inflows of refugees and economic and lifestyle migrants.
While immigration and the Latino vote may not have been decisive in the 2014 midterm elections, the Republican takeover of the Senate come January 2015 and increased majority in the House have significant implications for the outcome of the immigration debate. This article examines the changing dynamics and the president's intent to proceed with executive action to shield some of the unauthorized immigrant population from deportation.
Pacific Islanders with criminal convictions have found themselves deported from Australia, New Zealand, or the United States, which have shifted their immigration enforcement priorities in recent years. This article explores the significant barriers to reintegration that criminal deportees in Pacific Island countries face upon their return, including difficulty accessing community networks and jobs.
From 1980 to 2013, the sub-Saharan African immigrant population in the United States increased from 130,000 to 1.5 million, roughly doubling each decade between 1980 and 2010. This profile provides up-to-date demographic information for sub-Saharan immigrants including location, educational attainment, workforce participation, and much more.
Use this data tool—referred to as "one addictive interactive map"—to examine immigrant populations by country of origin and destination. Find out how many Americans live in Mexico, how many Ukrainians in Russia, or Filipinos in Saudi Arabia, for example.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
Fears regarding the spread of the deadly Ebola virus following an outbreak in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone prompted governments around the world to regulate travel from and within West Africa. Travel bans, airport health screenings, closed borders, and traveler quarantines were among the policies implemented. International organizations argue such restrictions drive possibly symptomatic travelers to illegally bypass borders and encourage dishonesty in the exit screening process.
New migration patterns at the U.S. Southwest border, including a shift in border crossers from primarily Mexican men to Central American families, and from the California and Arizona borders to the Rio Grande Valley, have important implications for U.S. border policy and enforcement strategies, raising questions of what consequences might deter unauthorized Central Americans while still meeting international obligations to protect vulnerable migrants.
Increasing numbers of Westerners heading to Syria and Iraq to join jihadist organizations like ISIS have governments concerned about possible attacks at home by returning fighters. Several thousand fighters from Europe and other Western countries are believed among the foreign nationals involved in conflicts in Syria and Iraq. Lawmakers scrambled in 2014 to respond with new policies, including seizing passports, stripping citizenship, and criminalizing travel to "no go" zones.
Mass cases of exploitation and abuse of migrant workers have drawn international scrutiny and criticism of the kafala system in Gulf Cooperation Council countries and private recruitment practices in Southeast Asia. With Qatar under scrutiny amid a frenzied construction boom in advance of the 2022 World Cup, international organizations and human-rights groups in 2014 stepped up their campaign for worker protection reforms.
In recent years emigration from Mexico has declined, the country's stable economy has drawn an increasing number of international migrants, and the pace of transmigration to the United States has quickened. Amid these changing realities, punctuated by a spike in migration of unaccompanied minors from Central America in 2014, Mexico is confronting a new role as migration manager: balancing increasing enforcement and protection of migrants' rights.

Recent surges in the arrival of unauthorized migrants with possible humanitarian claims have prompted the United States and the European Union to consider in-country and offshore processing for some refugee and asylum applications. As this article explores, some of the questions raised about the feasibility of such programs include their consistency with humanitarian law and their effectiveness in reducing unwanted entries.
Drawing on a case study of two Hmong refugee populations from Laos that were resettled in a major Texas city and a German village, this article explores the different approaches to immigrant integration found in the United States and Germany as well as the outcomes for the Hmong and their sense of belonging in their new communities.
Central American migrants have long hopped freight trains known as "La Bestia," or the beast, to get through Mexico en route to the United States. While Mexico has been accused of turning a blind eye to this traffic, U.S. outcry over the surge of unaccompanied child migrants has drawn new attention to the use of the trains. This article highlights the journey aboard the trains, the dangers faced by migrants, and responses by the Mexican government and others.
Turkey's migration identity has shifted from being principally a country of emigration and transit to becoming a destination for immigrants and people fleeing conflict. In response, Turkish policymakers recently enacted a comprehensive migration and asylum law that took effect in April 2014. This article examines the new law, which is intended as a significant step toward managing both legal and irregular migration to Turkey, including humanitarian migration.
In 2013, 11.6 million Mexican immigrants resided in the United States, accounting for 28 percent of the total foreign-born population, making Mexicans the largest immigrant group in the country. Using the latest data, this Spotlight examines the Mexican immigrant population by size, location, language ability, workforce participation, and more.
Between 1960 and 2012 the share of Canadians in the U.S. foreign-born population declined from 10 to 2 percent, while the actual number of Canadian immigrants has remained remarkably steady. Using the most up-to-date statistics, this profile examines the Canadian immigrant population by size, age, location, college education, and more.
The once-tiny population of Vietnamese immigrants in the United States has grown to become the country's sixth largest foreign-born group in the span of several decades, with the first wave beginning at the end of the Vietnam War in 1975. This data profile examines the Vietnamese immigrant population by size, recency of arrival, top states and cities of settlement, college education, sending of remittances, and much more.
Depuis les années 1960, le Maroc est progressivement devenu l'un des principaux pays d'émigration du monde. Plutôt que de mettre fin à cette migration, les mesures migratoires restrictives imposées en Europe ont incité les migrants marocains à s'installer de manière permanente et entraîné des regroupements familiaux à grande échelle. Le Maroc se transforme aussi en pays de destination pour les migrants venus d'Afrique subsaharienne et, dans une certaine mesure, des pays d'Europe touchés par la crise. Sous l'effet du nombre croissant de migrants sur son sol, la société marocaine se retrouve confrontée à un ensemble totalement nouveau de questions sociales et juridiques qui sont typiques des pays d'immigration et qui ne correspondent pas encore à l'image que le pays nourrit de lui-même, qui est celle d'un pays d'immigration. Face à cette évolution, les autorités marocaines ont annoncé une nouvelle politique migratoire en 2013, que ce profil pays se propose d'analyser.
Morocco has evolved into one of the world's leading emigration countries. European immigration restrictions did not stop migration, but rather pushed Moroccan migrants into permanent settlement, prompting large-scale family reunification. Morocco is also becoming a destination country, and the growing presence of immigrants confronts Moroccan society with an entirely new set of social and legal issues typical for immigration countries, as this country profile explores.
Economic turmoil has been a primary driver of emigration from The Gambia, located in West Africa and the smallest country on the African continent. Despite having a decades-old, extensive diaspora mainly in Spain, the United States, Nigeria, Senegal, and the United Kingdom, the Gambian government has only very recently begun to reach out to its citizens abroad. This article explores The Gambia's migration history, emigration and immigration trends, remittances, economic impacts of skilled emigration, and recent efforts by the government to reach out to The Gambian diaspora.
Fundamental demographic, economic, and educational changes have set Mexico on a new path, significantly altering its migration-related priorities and concerns vis-a-vis the United States and Central America. This article examines new migration trends, Mexico's role as a country of transit and increasingly of destination, the 2011 migration law, remittances, government policies on the Mexican diaspora, and more.
The outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, with three cases diagnosed in the United States, has generated tremendous public fear and anxiety in the United States and other countries. The Obama administration has restricted air travel from West Africa to five airports with enhanced screening, amid calls for a complete travel ban. The Policy Beat examines the use of U.S. immigration controls to halt the spread of disease.
As Central American child migrant flows have returned to their precrisis level, challenges remain concerning the fate of tens of thousands of newly arrived children and families now residing in the United States pending immigration court hearings. Meanwhile, Congress has declined to authorize new funding to address the situation.
When Congress returns from recess in September, lawmakers will need to pick up where they left off on approving an emergency spending bill to address unaccompanied migrant children at the border. This article previews upcoming battles in Congress and analyzes how the recent border crisis is changing the broader immigration debate in the United States.
The phenomenon of unaccompanied children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border, typically after an arduous and often dangerous journey through Central America and Mexico, has reached a crisis proportion, with a 90 percent spike in arrivals from last year and predictions of future increases ahead.

Palm Room for dinner, good variety of breakfast food. Service was attentive and pleasant. Front desk friendly, efficient.
Room #78 needs to be painted, walls are scuffed up in in the living and dinning room. Bugs in the bathtub, small with wings... termite bugs? Caulking around sink needs replacing, mold on ceiling in bathroom. Internet barely worked, need to buy a booster for that end of the building. 1st room we were given was overly perfumed, smelled of cigar smoke, 2nd floor facing bay.

"Enjoyable but severely lacking."
As an avid hiker / backpacker who lives in the Appalachian mountains I found this book to be an enjoyable account of hiking the AT but I was constantly aware of the author's lack of descriptions about the natural world around him. It was just odd. These mountains are incredibly beautiful and, at times, simply awe inspiring. It would have been far more enjoyable if the author had told us more about the landscape he was traveling through. This book is more about the act of hiking and the people he encountered than it is about the trail or the beautiful mountains it passes through. This made the book seem a bit one dimensional to me. I do not intend for this review to be a slam or to take away from the positive reviews the book has rightfully earned. I guess I could say it's like reading a book about trout fishing without any meaningful descriptions of the trout. Enjoyable.....but leaves too much to the imagination.

Maurice Ponga
Maurice Ponga (born 5 June 1947 in Kouaoua, New Caledonia) is a French politician and Member of the European Parliament elected in the 2009 European election for the Overseas constituency.
Ponga is a Melanesian (Kanak), but unlike most Kanaks, he opposes New Caledonia's independence from France and is a member of The Rally-UMP, a major anti-independence party. He has represented the party, known as RPCR until 2002, in the Congress of New Caledonia between 1995 and 2009. While in office, he participated in all but one New Caledonian government. Most recently, as Minister of Youth and Sports in the Martin II government, he played a major role in the success of Noumea's bid for the 2011 Pacific Games.
In the 2009 European elections, he was the UMP's candidate in the Pacific Section of the Overseas constituency, and his candidacy was locally supported by all anti-independence parties. The UMP won one seat in the constituency with 29.7% of the votes, and since the UMP obtained its highest result in the Pacific Section (44.4%), Ponga was elected to the European Parliament. He is the second New Caledonian and second Kanak to serve as an MEP, after Dick Ukeiwé (also a member of the RPCR), who served between 1989 and 1994.

Hi, I think it is possible to achieve. If you use Apache JServ for example, your client will be assigned a session ID. This session will be associated to the box that first served it, so incoming requests with this session ID (a cookie in fact) will be served by the original box.

Transplant families provide support during the
transplant process. Back row: Michael (liver) and
Ruth Binsky, Jane and Col. Tom (heart) Edwards
Front row: Stanley (kidney) and Jacinta Marshall,
Larry and Brenda (lung) Thompson
When you discover that your loved-one needs a transplant, you probably have many questions. As a family member or caregiver, you will need to support your loved-one throughout the transplant process. And if you are the primary caregiver, you'll need to understand the patient's health and medications.
Understanding the Disease
As the caregiver, you'll need to understand the disease. Research it with the patient, and help the patient stay healthy before surgery. Know the danger signs of the disease, and have contact information for the patient's transplant team. Come with your patient to medical appointments and play an active role in the discussion. The more you know and understand the situation, the better care you can provide.
Know the Medications
It is essential that you know what medications your loved-one is taking. Help your patient stay on schedule for taking the medications and learn about the side effects of each medication.
Advocate for the Patient
You are a key advocate for the patient. You should find out the patient's wishes in the event he or she becomes incapacitated. You may also help by scheduling appointments, locating medical records, watching out for the patient's safety, and making sure the patient is receiving the care he or she needs.
Physical Care
After surgery, the patient will need help with their physical care. You may need to help him or her get to appointments, organize medicines, make meals, and perform household chores. You may also need to help transport the patient.

Perhaps the most important part of being a patient's caregiver is to provide emotional support. Transplant surgery is an extremely stressful and emotional time. You can help ease the anxiety by listening and being supportive. Simply spending time with a transplant patient lets them know you care.

In response to "Rucho unapologetic over controversial tweet" (Dec. 17) and "Does GOP back Rucho?" (O-pinion, Dec. 16):
Rucho is an embarrassment, should apologize for tweet
So, if I am critical of Sen. Rucho's remarks equating the Affordable Care Act to "... Nazi's, Soviets and terrorists combined," I am one of the "socialist elite." Interesting response, considering that one implicit goal of socialism is the elimination of an elite stratum in society.
Then, in response to a call from the N.C. Republican party chairman to apologize, Rucho refuses on the grounds that "... I don't owe him and he doesn't owe me." I guess it wouldn't do to apologize just because you're wrong. This man is an embarrassment to our city, county and state on a number of levels, and should be rejected by voters when he next runs for office.
Carl King
Tweet not really offensive if you look at what Senator said
I'm not saying what Sen. Rucho said was right or wrong, but what I do say is that the senator's tweet being "highly offensive" is not really offensive when you look at exactly what the senator said. He compared the resulting damage of Justice Roberts' actions and that of Obamacare to having "done more damage to the USA then the swords of the Nazis, Soviets & terrorists combined." Nowhere did the senator actually "compare the Affordable Care Act with Nazis and terrorists" as you so stated.
Putting words in people's mouths and twisting the truth does nothing more than fuel the fire for an already sensitive situation.
Bryan Maas
Seems like Rucho is confused about government philosophies
North Carolina State Senator Bob Rucho has compared the Affordable Care Act to policies of Nazi Soviet Socialism or, was it, Soviet Socialism Nazism?
Apparently Mr. Rucho is unaware that Nazism and Soviet Socialism are mutually exclusive philosophies of government.

In response to "Overcoming hurdles of affordable housing" (Dec. 17, Our View) and "Neighbors protest apartments, traffic" (Dec. 17):
Let's remember – affordable housing is workforce housing
The writer is Board Chair of Community Link.
Do you think working individuals and veterans in service occupations, health care, education and care for the young and elderly should be able to afford safe and decent housing? That's who we are talking about when affordable housing is the issue. Really, it's workforce housing!
In our region, a working household must earn at least $15.60 an hour to not spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing, the definition of affordable. The startling reality is that nearly 1 out of 2 workers in our community do not earn this.
So as we debate traffic patterns and the "elements" that affordable housing brings, let's start the conversation by acknowledging that it's our workforce that is at stake.
Timothy M. Tate
Affordable housing complex marginalizes homeowners
I am a property owner at Willowmere who is protesting an affordable housing apartment complex nearby. Willowmere has a HOA to maintain its property values. There is a common interest in keeping the neighborhood safe and the property values up. These are hard working people who have pride in home ownership. There is an old saying "nobody washes a rental car."
When the wishes of this community are superimposed by the whims of county government, that is not democracy. To marginalize the achievement and pride of the homeowners in Willowmere is a mockery.
Patsy Reames
Are police officers, teachers beneath housing opponents?
Police officers who are good enough to protect and serve. Teachers good enough to be with your children each day. Retail clerks good enough to sell you designer shoes and purses. Yet none is good enough to live in your neighborhood? How do you explain that to your children? Or your minister? Or to yourself?
CJ Spencer
Problem with Obamacare is not the annual premium increase
Why does the Observer print letters that so clearly miss the point on why people are unhappy with Obamacare?
The issue is not the usual annual premium increase. It is the cancellation of policies the president promised we could keep. It is the incredibly high premiums for new policies (in my case 430 percent higher). It is high deductibles and unneeded coverages of these plans. It is the inequities in who qualifies for subsidies.
George Schwab
In response to "Board: Fracking data is needed" (Dec. 7) and "We shouldn't be in the dark when it comes to fracking" (Dec. 11, Forum):
Will Big Oil and Gas soon start drilling without consent?
Regarding fracking, I agree that we should have rights. I'm guessing you're not going to like "compulsive pooling," or "forced pooling." That's where drillers are allowed to tap local natural gas next door, even if property owners don't want them probing under their homes and farms.
It's not here yet. But we must do some homework to protect ourselves. Big Oil and Gas are not going to look out for us.

The Summer Place, Naperville's community theater, opens its 2014 season with the charming office comedy "The Desk Set."
With performances at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 3 p.m. Sundays June 13 to 22 at Naperville High School, "The Desk Set" is written by William Marchant and directed by Madeline Franklin of Palatine.
Franklin is the owner and program director of Long Grove Performing Arts Academy and an adjunct faculty member in the continuing education department at Harper College. She's also on the boards of several theater companies in the area.
"It's a classic," she said. "People know the name of it because Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn made a movie of this play. It was one of those fabulous Technicolor movies."
The play takes place in 1957. Women who worked in offices were called "the desk set." It was a time when the goal of most women was to quit their jobs, find a husband, have kids and live happily ever after behind a white picket fence, she said.
The play is about a group of girls in the reference department of a television network.
"Each of them has full and rich characters that lend themselves to tremendous humor," she said. "I told my actors, 'This is the time that you can steal the show.' I love working with this cast. The women who are my desk set are experience actresses. They are no strangers to the stage, so they are very comfortable doing comedy."
"The Desk Set" is unusual in that it is a three-act play that runs nearly 90 minutes plus an intermission.
"I believe the playwright wrote this for a reason. You very rarely find a three-act play now, in modern times, because the audience can't sit that long. That was when there was very little television. There was some TV, but not a lot. So people went to the theater. So this play has a great storyline; it's so funny. It's very crisp and it moves along very well. I want the audience to stay engaged."
The main character, Bunny Watson, has an encyclopedic knowledge of her environment, and relishes her facts and figures. Everything is fine among "the desk set" until an efficiency expert arrives to computerize the office — but no man or machine is a match for Bunny Watson. Throughout all of this mayhem are the typical office trappings, including a Christmas party and office romances.
It's a fun yet poignant summer comedy, Franklin said.
"It does have moments of conflict (but) it's light-hearted, it's funny," she said. "There's dancing, there's jealousy, there's the blond bombshell, there's fear of losing your job. It is filled with fun and intrigue and conflict. It's a great way to start off the Summer Place Theatre season — with a great play with a lot of laughs."Tags: theatre

Hi there!
I've googled for a conclusion to this topic, but havent been successful. So here's my question:
As the title suggests i'm looking for a shader which is both reflective (preferably real-time; i have a pro licence) and transparent(and specularity, but not necessarily). I would like to use it for glass (a glass door). By now im using the river water shader, which is working really great, but the thing is: with the river shader the reflection is upside down. Also when i'm looking straight towards the door, the objects lying behind the door are reflected instead of the object in front of the door, which looks a bit unrealistic. Last but not least im not sure of a way to control the things being reflected (for example with layers) in the river water shader.
So i would be very grateful if anyone could either help me either by providing a shader or a fix for the river water shader. I also should note that i'm not good (if at all) in shaderLab.
thanks in advance

I've also been searching for a glass shader with dynamic reflections. I eventually managed to make one, by modifying the MirrorReflective shader/script to include transparency, a base texture, and tinting.
I made a page for it on the Wiki: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/SurfaceReflection
It requires Unity Pro, though.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Skeggs update: I rode there today (Thurs 28) and there are large trees down across several trails, but all of which we could climb over/under with bikes, one large rock slide area, lots of general tree-fall debris all over the place. Some small amounts of water running down several trails and a few muddy spots, but overall I would say it's holding up pretty well. Definitely worth going up there, had a fun ride today - it's been a while since I rode the place (and I've lost a huge amount of fitness since the sumer!).

ATandT's iPad Package Is Better Than Verizon's: 10 Reasons Why
ATandT's iPad Package Is Better Than Verizon's: 10 Reasons Why
Apple's iPad is coming to Verizon store shelves starting next week. When that happens, the largest U.S. carrier will have at least one device that will be able to help it match AT&T's slate of Apple offerings.
Moreover, one can easily guess that Verizon will spend a good amount of marketing dollars trying to prove to customers that its wireless service is better than AT&T's and that it can deliver a viable experience through Apple products.
However, it's highly doubtful that Verizon will be able to offer the average consumer an experience that they would prefer over AT&T. While it might be nice that the carrier is finally carrying something of Apple's, it's doing so by forcing customers to lug around a peripheral to connect to its 3G network. Furthermore the device it's offering isn't as reliable as the device AT&T will sell.
Simply put, AT&T's iPad offering is far more appealing than Verizon's.
Here's why:
1. The 3G is built in
The first reason why AT&T has trumped Verizon with its iPad is simple: The iPhone carrier will be carrying the iPad with built-in 3G. That's extremely important. The iPad is about being mobile and helping consumers be productive from one location to another. Although that's possible with the help of Verizon's MiFi hotspot, it's not the most viable experience. It's much easier to simply access AT&T's 3G network rather than connect to a separate product and access 3G. It's an added step that's unnecessary.
2. AT&T and Apple are still working closely
AT&T and Apple might not have as close of a relationship as they once did, but the companies are still working closely to deliver viable experiences to customers. Apple could be planning to work with Verizon, but it hasn't made any public commitment that shows it will expand that partnership. And until it does, it's probably best for customers to bet on the carrier that does have the solid relationship with Apple.
3. MiFi isn't the best solution
Apple knows how to build products that work very well. And there's a reason why it attempts to limit the infiltration of other products into its own. MiFi is one of those products. And it's possible that it won't offer the Apple-like experience that customers expect. An iPad with built-in 3G will. That alone should make it the more viable option.
4. Productivity is hampered
How productive can a person really be if they need to have two products with them at all times just to get some work done? Verizon might say that productivity wouldn't change, since its accessory still helps folks connect to the Web, but an additional product adds the potential for even more problems. Simplicity means something to companies that are trying to make their employees more productive. And Verizon's solution is making things far more complex than it has to be.
ATandT Ubiquity Remains Major Advantage
5. There is still no Apple-Verizon commitment
At this point, consumers have no idea if the Verizon iPad is simply a one-off agreement between the companies that will go nowhere or the start of something major between the firms. Until folks know that, it's tough to bet on the Verizon iPad. Not only is the device hobbled compared with AT&T's offering, but who knows what support for it will look like going forward? If the iPad will be a person's long-term mobile companion, sticking with the company Apple works closely with now is probably the best bet.
6. Thinking about the person on a budget
Verizon has come up with some rather interesting data plans with its iPad. Rather than offer 250MB of data for $15 and 2GB of data for $29, like AT&T has, the company will offer a $20 plan for 1GB of data, as well as a $35 and $50 plan for 3GB and 5GB, respectively. That's great for corporate customers. But for folks on a budget or those who won't use as much 3G data, paying as little as $5 more a month or up to $35 more a month just doesn't make that much sense. People on a budget would probably do best with AT&T's data plans.
7. It's what Steve Jobs wants
Steve Jobs must come into play with the customer's iPad buying decision. At AT&T, customers will pay the same amount of cash to get an iPad as they would to get an iPad and MiFi hotspot at Verizon. But there is one major difference: AT&T is offering the iPad 3G, while Verizon is selling the WiFi-only iPad. In other words, Apple could be getting more from the sale of the iPad at AT&T than at Verizon, since the 3G model is $130 more expensive than a WiFi-only version with the same capacity hard drive. If Apple is generating more revenue from AT&T than Verizon, Steve Jobs will focus more of his efforts there. And that alone could be enough to draw customers away from Verizon's service.
8. Sheer availability
Availability could play a role in why AT&T should win out over Verizon. At any retail outlet, including an Apple Store, Target or elsewhere, consumers can get their hands on an iPad 3G and connect to AT&T's network. The only way they can access Verizon's network is if they buy the device at a Verizon store. That is a major barrier to entry for Verizon and its customers. And for simplicity's sake, it just might be easier to go with Verizon's service because of it.
9. Planning for the future
Who knows what Apple's future iPad strategy will look like? It's possible that the company will provide better software for the iPad 3G. It's also possible that it will stop selling the WiFi-only model at some point in the future. As Apple has proven with its previous updates to the iPhone, it won't support every model of every device indefinitely. The savvy shopper will invest in the more capable product to hedge against those decisions. That can only mean investing in AT&T's iPad 3G.
10. How committed will Verizon be?
There is a real question right now over whether or not Verizon will truly promote and support Apple's iPad as much as it would with a similarly compelling product from an Android vendor. Inevitably, that will depend on how closely Apple and Verizon plan to work together. But if Verizon isn't as committed to seeing the iPad succeed as it should be, it might be enough to push customers toward AT&T and away from the largest U.S. carrier.

2013 / 09 - September Issue of American Cinematographer
The September 2013 issue of American Cinematographer magazine, which focuses on international production.
Elysium (Sony)
Trent Opaloch shot this action drama that imagines life in the year 2154, when the wealthy reside on a man-made space station called Elysium and the poor are left to survive on a nearly destroyed Earth. When Max De Costa (Matt Damon) is diagnosed with terminal cancer on Earth, he decides to take on a dangerous mission in order to save his own life. Opaloch reteamed with writer/director Neil Blomkamp (District 9) and used multiple Red Epic cameras (in 5K anamorphic mode with Panavision anamorphic lenses) to capture the film on stage in Vancouver and on location at one of the world's largest landfills in Mexico City.
Only God Forgives (Radius-TWC)
Larry Smith, BSC continues his collaboration with Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn (Bronson, Drive) on this atmospheric revenge thriller shot in Thailand. Ryan Gosling stars as Julian, a Bangkok drug smuggler whose life is further complicated when his mother (Kristen Scott Thomas) urges him to track down and kill those responsible for his brother's death. Smith and Refn discuss the working conditions they faced abroad and detail how they created the movie's rich, color-saturated imagery.
The World's End (Focus Features)
Bill Pope, ASC paired once again with writer/director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) on this sci-fi comedy that follows middle-aged Gary King (Simon Pegg) as he tries to convince his four childhood pals to complete a pub crawl they began 20 years prior. Kings succeeds in getting his friends to play along, but when they reach the final pub on their list, The World's End, they realize they may actually need to combat the apocalypse.
Ain't Them Bodies Saints (IFC Films)
Bradford Young teamed with writer/director David Lowery to craft an American myth set against the Texas landscape in the late 1970s. After four years in jail, Bob Muldoon (Casey Affleck) escapes and aims to reunite with Ruth Guthrie (Rooney Mara) and their young daughter, only to find his journey complicated by a sheriff's deputy (Ben Foster) and an outlaw gang. Young details the location shoot in Louisiana and Texas, and explain how he worked at bold levels of underexposure while shooting in 3-perf Super 35mm for a final aspect ratio of 2.40:1.
