press release
Juba — The South Sudan Human Rights Society for Advocacy (SSHURSA) in a strongest terms possible once again calls for the resignation of General Oyai Deng Ajak, the Minister of Security in the Office of the President and General Alison Magaya, the Minister of Interior.
Since the formation of the government of the Republic of South Sudan, the two Ministers have virtually failed to protect the lives and property of the people of South Sudan from the controllable organized killings and crimes.
"The assassination of Isaiah Abraham is a manifestation of uncovered failure, so to speak, constitutionally, the two gentle men if they have conscience which they respect, should have honourably resigned from their positions on the very first day when they heard of the assassination of Isaiah Abraham. The logic is very simple, the death of the late was in manner that we strongly believe was a state-managed and organized assassination, therefore, the two Ministers by virtue of their offices are in control of Internal & External National Security organs and Law Enforcement agencies respectively which are tasked by the Constitution to protect the people countrwide. Thus, it is in the interest of justice to allow free investigations that the two Honourable Ministers hit this call and resign immediately since they have failed the public and unless they show a cause of why they should not resign which I doubt they have" Said Biel Boutros Biel, the Executive Director of SSHURSA. "The murder of brother Isaiah Abraham plus many more human rights violations including enforced disappearances of persons and arbitrary detentions without trials by the state and its agents clearly shows a regime without conscience". Biel added. "Where on earth a cabinet of ministers believes that 70% as assasination the death of one of its own; Isaiah Abraham, and yet its security ministers still have a pride to remain in their offices without resigning, don't they have consciense?" Biel wondered. "We in SSHURSA find this unbelievable act as a practical manifestation of a government that has forgotten the freedom values for which its leadership had fought for and millions of lives were sacrificed. In our view, the two ministers being adamant to resign confirms our country's leadership devoid of ethics and neither the adherence to the rule of law. This is too much and the government through evil acts done with impunity by its agencies on the innocent people, shows that it learned nothing from injustices and sufferings the Arabs had imposed on South Sudan for over 40 years and the same government we have long hoped for has equally, shamefully turned to do the very same evils inflicted on our people by the successive dictatorial regimes of Khartoum and against which South Sudan stood" Biel further added.
SSHURSA also welcomes to Juba the USA Federal Investigations Bureau team. The presence of FBI in Juba is a great step towards hopeful investigations as to who among the state agents killed Isaiah Abraham on December 5th 2012, in Juba. SSHURSA calls upon the President of South Sudan His Excellency Salva Kiir Mayardit to ensure that FBI is accorded full co-operation to do its work and that it is important that the FBI does its work without any interference from the state or any powerful individuals in the security agencies. It is in the greatest interest of justice that urgent, free, impartial and full investigations are carried out to establish the true identities of the assasins. SSHURSA hopes that findings shall be made available to public as soon as possible and the assassins are speedily brought to court to face the long arm of the law.
The murder of Isaiah Abraham remains a big blow in the fight against evils which are consuming up South Sudan but SSHURSA will fight on till justice is achieved for the late. The questions remain; who killed him? Where are his assassins and when are they going to be brought to justice and be convicted? The answers to these questions lie with the South Sudan's leadership and as always as it shall be, SSHURSA will continue asking these questions until the authorities answer them in affirmative.
SSHURSA also in strongest terms possible condemns the violence in Wau town, Western Bahr El Ghazal state and urges the state and national governments to put in place immediate lawful measures to protect the lives of the citizens and amicably resolve the mess among the people in Wau town.
Once again, SSHURSA sends condolences to the family of the late and calls upon the public to remain calm while answers are being awaited from the Government of South Sudan. As we have long promised from day one when Isaiah Abraham was murdered, SSHURSA will fight on until justice is achieved for the family of the late. Nothing will change this stance except the production of the assassins of Isaiah Abraham by the state and are convicted thereof.

CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) - Officials say Charles City will be the first regional site for an effort to improve services to blind and deaf children.
The Globe Gazette reports Charles City schools plan to start services in the fall and have a fully developed program by fall 2015.
The Iowa Board of Regents has determined that blind and deaf students in rural areas often can't access the services offered in urban areas. To address this, the board is establishing several regional programs that will include specialized teachers.
Charles City School Superintendent Dan Cox says the district's programs will be offered at elementary, middle school and high school buildings.
Funding for the effort depends on action by the Legislature. If lawmakers don't approve funding this spring, the program's start will be delayed until 2015.

Great news!
This week, as I've been madly preparing two workshops to present at the SDSU Writer's Conference in San Diego and also busy downsizing and packing in preparation for selling my house and moving across the country, I was delighted to receive an email saying my Style That Sizzles & Pacing for Power (soon to be retitled Fire up Your Fiction) has won another award, this one from Writer's Digest.
Last September it won a Silver Medal in the Florida Authors & Publishers President's Book Awards for 2013.
A few days ago, WRITER'S DIGEST contacted me to say I'd won an Honorable Mention (third) in their Writer's Digest Self-Published E-Book Awards for 2013 and sent me the judge's commentary on the book. Writer's Digest Book Awards are huge, with thousands of entries, so it feels like a real honor. Also, there were only two categories for this contest, fiction and nonfiction, so competition was fierce.
Here are some excerpts from the lengthy, entirely positive review I received from a judge in the contest:
"What a wonderful resource for writers at any stage of their career! I wish I had this book when I first started writing. You have pulled together information from the best sources ... and presented them all in one place. ... You did a great job of explaining 'Show, don't tell.' That's so difficult for new writers to grasp. In fact, you've done a great job of everything. I can't think of anything important that you haven't addressed succinctly and clearly. ... This should be on the booklist for Master's Programs in Writing for Publication. I liked how you double-spaced lists and examples to add white space for easier reading. Your embellished Table of Contents makes it easy to find specific topics to review when we write. ... You must be a wonderful editor to be able to write such a readable, but comprehensive book."
- Judge, Writer's Digest Self-Published e-Book Awards, January 2014
I especially like the line, "This should be on the booklist for Master's Programs in Writing for Publication." If you've read and enjoyed Style That Sizzles (Fire up Your Fiction) and know of any college or university creative writing programs, including continuing education, that could benefit from having this book on their recommended reading lists, I'd be very grateful if you could suggest it to them - or tell me about the program and I'll contact them myself.
Thanks! Now back to packing for my trip to sunny San Diego!
And by the way, here's a list of topics I present workshops on at writers' conferences, as well as my speaking schedule so far for 2014: www.JodieRenner.com/workshops.

Recall Election in 32nd Turning into Big Money Affair
The senate recall elections in Wisconsin were expected to be big money affairs and they certainly haven't disappointed. Nine state senators in all face recalls this summer. Fallout from the spring fight over collective bargaining in Madison. La Crosse's Dan Kapanke is one of the half dozen republican senators who will be on recall ballots next month. Campaign finance reports due Monday show that Kapanke has raised over $700 thousand this year and spent all but a hundred thousand of that to defend his seat. Democratic state rep Jennifer Shilling, meanwhile, has raised over a quarter million dollars to try and unseat Kapanke.

The present invention relates to a method for registering with a communication service. More particularly, the present invention is directed to a method for registering a wireless communication device with a given service based on the equipment capabilities of the device and the home location of the device.
More and more options are available for communicating information between parties. A plurality of communication media exist. Of course, there is traditional wireline communication, available over telephone networks. Additionally, newer technologies provide enhanced capability for communications, e.g., wireless communication capabilities enable mobile communications and optical fiber capabilities provide increased transmission throughput. At the same time that the number of communication media has grown, the number of different types of services available on each media has also grown. It has been common for various transmission techniques to be adapted to customers' needs and to offer new techniques for exchanging information along the networks. In addition to offering new services, new billing schemes have also been proposed both to encourage the use of various communication media, and in the name of competition between providers of similar types of services.
One area in which there has been a continued amount of growth has been in the wireless communication area. Wireless communication has enabled parties to have mobility and still maintain a link to a communications system whereby they can be easily contacted by others or can easily initiate contact with others. These mobile communication networks have found greater favor in our ever-increasingly mobile society where business requirements demand that people who are communicating be accessible wherever they may be. These networks provide voice communication, data communication and messaging capabilities, for example.
Mobile communication systems rely on wireless communications between a mobile communications device, such as a wireless telephone or data set, and one or more of a plurality of radio base stations which typically form the transceivers for respective cell sites. These base stations communicate with mobile devices over the airwaves using a plurality of different types of protocols. A given wireless service provider may have multiple base stations within a given geographic region, thereby creating a wireless service footprint for that provider in that geographic region. The base stations are tied by wireline communications to a switching center, often referred to as a mobile switching center (MSC), which provides a gateway to a wireline telephone network such as the public switched telephone network (PSTN). In the wireless communication environment, the holder of a wireless communication device can initiate a communication by initiating an over-the-air message to a base station that serves the cell site in which the wireless device is presently located. The base station then operates through the MSC and the PSTN to establish the appropriate process for a call set up to the intended destination of the communication. The intended destination could be a wireline phone or data mode or another wireless apparatus. That second wireless apparatus could reside in the same wireless area as the initiating party, it could be in a different geographic location but serviced by the same wireless service provider as that servicing the initial party, or it could be located in a different geographic region that is serviced by a different wireless service provider.
A block diagram of a known arrangement of a wireless communication system interacting with a wireline communication system is illustrated in FIG. 1. In this arrangement, three wireless communication service regions, 110, 120 and 130 are each shown coupled to a different local exchange carrier (LEC) within a PSTN 150. These three wireless services regions could be geographically disparate. For example, region 110 could be in the New York City area, region 120 could be in the Boston area, and region 130 could be in the Chicago area. Furthermore, the service providers for the respective regions can be different. For example, service provider A could service region 110, service provider B could service region 120, and service provider C could service region 130. For purposes of describing a particular series of services of interest below, however, it will be assumed that the service provider for regions 120 and 130 is the same. Each of the wireless service regions includes at least one MSC (114, 124, or 134) and one or more base stations (e.g., 111, 112, 121, 122, 131, 132). Only one mobile communication device, 125, is shown in the drawing figure although it should be understood that many wireless devices may be active in each of the regions at the same time. The PSTN can be thought of as being constituted by a plurality of LECs, for example, 151 to 154. These LECs may be interconnected with one another via one or more inter-exchange carriers (IXC) such as 155, 156 and 157. The couplings shown in the drawing figure are representative of samples of connections that might be made. Typically, the PSTN includes a multitude of LECs and IXCs with various connections capable between them so as to establish connectivity between one LEC and another. The LECs at either end of a particular call set up can be associated with different companies, for example, different Regional Bell Operating Companies (RBOCs). Similarly, different interexchange carriers (for example AT&T) can provide connectivity between the respective LECs.
Thus, in one example of a wireless communication it would be possible for a party at telephone 101 to initiate a telephone call to the mobile device 125. The call set up would be performed on a signaling network known as signaling system 7 (SS7) which is not shown in the present drawings. This signaling network allows for control signals to be sent for establishing the call set-up without taking up communication bandwidth along the connection between 101 and mobile device 125. A call would then be set up from LEC 152 to LEC 154 via inter-exchange carrier 157. Since the call is directed to a mobile device, once it is determined that the mobile device is in region 120 via well known mobile device tracking techniques, a call set up would continue to MSC 124 which in turn would establish a connection to base station 121. Finally, over-the-air contact would be made with mobile device 125 if it is on and registered with base station 121. Similarly, a connection can be established from mobile station 125 to telephone 101 or 102 utilizing similar technology and the same control channels for call set-up.
It is also known in the art to use a technique known as over-the-air activation (OAA) to "turn-on" a mobile phone for a particular service provider. In particular, if a phone is purchased or leased from a given wireless service provider, then the phone must be registered with the wireless service provider so it knows who the subscriber is for billing purposes and so it can capture the subscriber's preferences for such things as long distance service provider and the type of rate schedule which should be applied to the subscriber. Typically, when the phone is leased or purchased a wireline communication is established via the PSTN to a wireless services administrative center such as that shown as 180 in FIG. 1. Alternatively, a registration operation could be initiated via a data connection over a wide area network such as the Internet. A representative for the wireless service provider initiates a registration sequence in which information is received about the wireless device in question and about the wireless services for which the user is subscribing. The administrative center, having completed the gathering of information for registration can then initiate an over-the-air activation process by which roaming schedules and information about network accessibility can be transmitted to the device in question over-the-air. For example, the over-the-air information can include information for an intelligent roaming database. This information can then be stored in memory in the wireless communication device for later use in establishing communications, whether those communications occur with the wireless device within the wireless service provider's footprint or within the footprint of another provider with whom the initial provider has some "roaming" agreement. For example, if mobile device is moved to region 110, which is serviced by a different provider, it is considered to be roaming. It will be permitted access only if the service providers of regions 110 and 120 have entered into a roaming agreement. Such an agreement may require that the home provider pay a fee for the right of its subscribers to roam.
While the above arrangement is known in the art, these arrangements are somewhat limited to the degree that they facilitate registering a given mobile device or subscriber to a new service, particularly where access to that service needs to be or ought to be limited based on certain parameters associated with the device. An arrangement which takes into account this need would be beneficial.
The present invention is directed to a method and an arrangement that facilitate registration for one or more new services in the wireless communication field. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention one or more databases are maintained by the wireless service provider so as to keep track of the equipment capabilities of a given mobile communication device, as well as the general home location of such a device. These equipment capability and location information parameters can be used to create a filter for various services which can be offered by the wireless service provider. Thus, when a subscriber intends to register for a given service, the wireless service provider can determine whether the equipment used by the potential subscriber is capable of operating to perform the desired service with reference to an equipment capabilities database. In addition, it is important that the wireless service provider be certain that the frequent location of the device be such that the service can be economically administered to a subscriber, so, an area eligibility database may be maintained as well. These two databases are examined when any given mobile device desires to register for a given service or program. The equipment capabilities with respect to the device and location capabilities with respect to the potential subscriber are then utilized to determine the potential subscriber's eligibility for registration to one or more services.
One type of service for which this may be most beneficial is a special billing service which provides certain communication capabilities at a fixed price where the price is set in accordance with a pre-determined evaluation of network usage.
The present invention provides a method by which a subscriber having a wireless communication device can be registered to one or more wireless services provided by a given wireless service provider. In accordance with the present invention, a wireless services administrative center for the wireless service provider in question, maintains information about the device capabilities of each of the devices registered with that wireless service provider, that is, each of the subscribers to that given wireless service provider. In addition, the wireless services administrative center maintains an eligibility area database. The eligibility area database is patterned after the footprint of the wireless service provider. In this circumstance, the eligibility area database contains information identifying those locations or areas which are serviced by the wireless service provider without having to provide some sort of roaming arrangement. Thus, the system database includes information about the overall footprint of the wireless service provider.
Turning to
One such billing plan might be a special billing rate by which all calls either made by or received by the mobile device are charged the same rate wherever the device may be, that is, whether it is in the wireless service provider's footprint or outside of the wireless service provider's footprint. To provide such a service it may be important to know that the mobile device in question has the technical capability to perform the service in question. For example, in connection with the AT&T wireless network, to avail oneself of the special billing program referred to as Digital One Rate (DOR) it is appropriate that the wireless device have the capability of operating on multiple networks, that is both analog and digital networks. This is because the various regions in which the mobile device may attempt to operate may have only digital service or analog service, not both. Thus, the device must have the capability of operating in either environment. As a consequence, this is a device capability limitation for registering for a given service.
To facilitate the registration process the wireless services administrative center may have a device capabilities database arranged by electronic serial numbers (ESNs) associated with each of the devices which are sold or leased or expected to be sold or leased by the wireless service provider. This ESN driven database can store information about the technical capabilities of each mobile device, such as whether the device is a multi-network phone (MNP) or other types of characteristics as will be described below.
If it is determined in the initial stages of the registration attempt that the mobile communication device 125 is capable of operating the desired service, a second question arises: is the service geographically limited in some respect. If so, then does the mobile device or its subscriber satisfy the geographic limitation so as to be permitted to register for the service.
This might be better explained from the perspective of the Digital One Rate service. It has been determined by analysis that a vast majority of mobile calls are made by a user from the same footprint which covers the user's "home" location whether that home be a business or a residence. Put another way, typically the user makes more calls from its home service provider than it does while roaming into the footprints of other service providers where the primary service provider is not located. Thus, in a service where a party is being charged a single rate regardless of where the calls are initiated or received, it is desirable that there be a high probability that the calls will be initiated or received while the mobile device is within the footprint of the wireless service provider offering this special billing rate. To increase that probability, a geographic filter can be utilized in determining whether the service should be extended to a given subscriber. To accomplish this another database can be provided, namely an eligibility area database. This database has the capability of identifying which billing rates are available in which geographic areas. Then, during the registration process the subscriber is asked to indicate the subscriber home location. That location is cross-checked against the eligibility area database to ascertain whether the subscriber's home location is eligible for the service or billing rate plan requested by the subscriber. If it is, then the wireless service provider may register the subscriber for the given service or billing rate plan. If not, (for example, the subscriber's home location is in service area 110 while the service provider has footprints 120 and 130) the subscriber can be so notified and, if the database contains appropriate information, the subscriber can be advised as to an alternative billing plan for which he or she is eligible based on the home location and/or the equipment capabilities.
Thus, the present invention provides a technique for "filtering" service requests in accordance with both equipment capabilities and geographic constraints. A further detailed description of how to achieve this filtering will now be provided.
As indicated above, the present invention can be implemented in accordance with processing performed at the wireless services administrative center 180 of FIG. 1. An example of one embodiment of such an administrative center in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in FIG. 2. This administrative center 280 can include a local area network 285 connecting a CPU 281, an eligibility area database 282, an electronic serial number (ESN) database 283 and a registration terminal 284 which can be operated by a representative 286 of the wireless service provider or some administrative group providing registration services on behalf of the wireless service provider. Device 284 can be a personal computer having display and data entry capabilities.
At the time of registration for a service, the mobile subscriber can provide information to the administrative center including an identification of the mobile communication device itself. This can be done at the time of activation in which case the subscriber would need to use a device other than the mobile device in question to contact the center. Alternatively, if the device has previously been activated then it can be used in the registration process. One example of an identifier is the electronic serial number of the device. While that identifier is utilized in connection with the described embodiment, other identifiers which are considered unique identifiers for a given mobile communication device may be employed. Upon receipt of this device identifier, the representative 286 may enter this identifier into a registration form provided on the display of device 284. These displays can be provided in a known fashion using a known graphical user interface. The forms can be supplied to the registration terminal from a registration database (not shown). The CPU operates to execute functionality defined by stored programs where the memory storing those programs is not shown. Upon entry of the unique identifier, here the ESN of the mobile device, a database access operation is performed via the local area network so as to retrieve information from the ESN database 283. Examples of the types of information which maybe contained in the ESN database 283 are illustrated in
Once the representative 286 receives the ESN from the user or subscriber and accesses the ESN database, the registration system can automatically populate appropriate fields in the registration form appearing on the representative's display 284. At that time the representative can determine whether the communication device which seeks to register for a given service has the device capabilities necessary to access the requested service. For example, in the digital one rate application described above, it is appropriate to require that the communication device be capable of operating on multiple networks. Thus, the information with regard to the MNP entry for a given ESN can be determinative as to whether a given attempted registration to the digital one rate device should be permitted.
If the registration is permitted, it may still be appropriate to apply some geographic filtering to determine whether, based on some location information, the service should be granted to the subscriber. In connection with this location filtering operation, the representative can request that the potential subscriber identify the subscriber's home location, such as, for example, by zip code. Once the location information is received, the representative can examine whether the identified geographic location falls within the footprint of the wireless service provider. This is done by accessing the eligibility area database 282 to determine whether the identified geographic location corresponding to the subscriber's home falls within the footprint of the wireless service provider. If it does, then the subscriber can be deemed to be eligible for receiving a service.
Where both equipment capabilities and geographic limitations are considered as filters, a given subscriber may only be permitted to subscribe to a service if both criteria are satisfied. Furthermore, given the flexibility of storing alternative information in the ESN and eligibility area databases, it is possible that even where a given subscriber/mobile device does not satisfy the requirements for the requested service, the representative may be advised automatically by the system of alternative services for which the device/subscriber are qualified based on device capabilities and home location of the subscriber.
Examples of an eligibility area database content are illustrated in
In the tabular representation of
Thus, using the information of the databases of
Having described the elements of an arrangement for providing the registration technique of the present invention, as well as an overview of this registration operation,
Initially, the services administrative center receives a service registration call, step 501. This service registration call can occur at initial activation of the wireless device or, alternatively the call could be received at a time subsequent to activation when the user decides to take advantage of a new service offering or to change service subscriptions. Having received the registration call, the administrative center obtains the ESN of the mobile device, step 505. This information could be conveyed automatically by the mobile device. Alternatively, this information could be conveyed over a voice communication from the operator of the mobile device to the administrative center. The representative can then retrieve device capabilities from the ESN database, step 509. This ESN database may have been populated, in part, with reference to information received from a national distribution center or from the equipment manufacturers themselves. The national distribution center would keep track of all ESNs either sold or leased or awaiting sale or lease by the wireless service provider. Once the device capabilities have been retrieved the fields of the registration form can be populated with retrieved information, step 513. The subscriber can then identify the service or services desired and that information would be received by the administrative center, step 517. Having received the device capabilities, the representative can determine whether the capabilities are consistent with the requested service, step 521. If the device is capable of handling the requested service as determined in the decision step, 525 then the representative can obtain a location identifier of the subscriber at step 533. If, however, the device is not capable of handling the requested service then the registration attempt may be terminated. A few alternative arrangements are worth noting. First, the representative can make the determination based on an examination of device capabilities as set forth in the populated registration form. Alternatively, the system itself may automatically make a determination whereby any attempt by the representative to register the subscriber for a given service will be denied if the ESN indicates that the equipment is incompatible with the service. That is, the system could prevent any override by the representative and could automatically block registration for the desired service. As a further aside, rather than terminating the registration attempt completely as in step 529, it is possible to terminate that given registration attempt and prompt the representative and/or subscriber to make another attempt at registration, this time to a service consistent with the equipment capabilities.
Continuing at point B on
Just as described above, the terminating operation may only terminate as to this particular service request and may in fact either prompt the user to request an alternative service or may await additional information from the user as to whether any alternative services are of interest. Additionally, the termination may occur either by information provided to the representative or may occur automatically. That is, access to the eligibility area database may produce a message to the representative indicating that the potential subscriber is not eligible for the service given the "home" location of the subscriber. The representative could then propose an alternative to the initially requested service thereby terminating the attempt to register for the first service. Alternatively, the system could automatically terminate the registration attempt such that the representative could not override the system's limitations so that if the representative attempts to register the subscriber for the requested service that attempt will be thwarted.
The present invention provides a technique for filtering access to services and/or billing plans related to a communication service. In accordance with the present invention, equipment capability information and geographic eligibility information can be maintained as criteria for determining whether a party attempting to subscribe with a given communication device should be permitted to subscribe to the given service or billing rate. This arrangement facilitates the registration process while assuring that only those parties which should be eligible for a given service or billing plan are in fact given access to that service and billing plan.

Exceptions to the "One Drop Rule"? DNA evidence of African ancestry in European Americans. J. L. Mountain1, J. M. Macpherson1, C. B. Do1, B. T. Naughton1, R. A. Kittles2, N. Eriksson1 1) 23andMe, Inc, Mountain View, CA; 2) Institute of Human Genetics, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL.
Genetic studies have revealed that most African Americans trace the majority (75-80%, on average) of their ancestry to western Africa. Most of the remaining ancestry traces to Europe, and paternal lines trace to Europe more often than maternal lines. This genetic pattern is consistent with the "One Drop Rule, a social history wherein children born with at least one ancestor of African descent were considered Black in the United States. The question of how many European Americans have DNA evidence of African ancestry has been studied far less. We examined genetic ancestry for over 77,000 customers of 23andMe who had consented to participate in research. Most live in the United States. A subset of about 60,000 shows genetic evidence of fewer than one in 16 great-great-grandparents tracing ancestry to a continental region other than Europe. They are likely to consider themselves to be entirely of European descent. We conducted two analyses to understand what fraction of this group has genetic evidence of some ancestry tracing recently to Africa. We first identified individuals whose autosomal DNA indicates that they are predominantly of European ancestry, but who carry either a mitochondrial (mt) DNA or Y chromosome haplogroup that is highly likely to have originated in sub-Saharan Africa. Of the 60,000 individuals with 95% or greater European ancestry, close to 1% carry an mtDNA haplogroup indicating African ancestry. Of approximately 33,000 males, about one in 300 trace their paternal line to Africa. We then identified the subset of these European Americans who have estimates of between 0.5% and 5.0% of ancestry tracing to Africa. This subset constitutes about 2% of this set of individuals likely to be aware only of their European ancestry. The majority (75%) of that group has a very small estimated fraction of African ancestry (about 0.5%), likely to reflect African ancestry over seven generations (about 200 years) ago. We estimate that, overall, at least 2-3% of individuals with predominantly European ancestry have genetic patterns suggesting relatively deep ancestry tracing to Africa. This fraction is far lower than the genetic estimates of European ancestry of African Americans, consistent with the social history of the United States, but reveals that a small percentage of mixed race individuals were integrating into the European American community (passing for White) over 200 years ago, during the era of slavery in the United States.

HTC launched the Desire U finally in India after it's launch in Taiwan way back in January. The HTC Desire U comes with some not so great specifications which includes a single core based 1 GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich which is another disappointment, a 4-inch WVGA display, 4GB of internal storage, dual-SIM support, 5MP rear camera and a 1650 mAh removable battery.
The HTC Desire U is already being sold on Flipkart for Rs 13,499. The Beats audio based device is also available in Black and Polar White variants. Though HTC brings you a low-end device with a great build and an obvious Sense UI 5.0 experience, it still may disappoint some of you for it's hardware portfolio. Nevertheless, it's a great phone to buy from HTC at this price.

28 year old man | Brooklyn, NY, USA | Seeking women 23-29 within 20 miles
A gentleman is someone who can play the accordion, but doesn't. -Tom Waits
Hey, I'm Ryan. I am a high school librarian, and love my job. I live in North Brooklyn, but work up in Westchester, so I have a bit of a commute, but its has been completely worth it. Having worked in education for several years, and I would have to say that being the librarian is the best job in a school because every day is different. Also, the book buying budget is a great perk. When I'm not teaching, I am often either hanging around Williamsburg/Greenpointcity, practice photographing, or at home brewing my own beer. I love to go snowboarding, and frequently travel up to Vermont. I enjoy eating healthy, and love to spend time in my kitchen cooking. Exercise is important to me and I take kick boxing classes several nights a week. In the last few months, I have joined a kickball league in Brooklyn, and it has quickly become one of my favorite things to do. I am hoping to find a woman that is interested in the world around her, from the people, to current events, to art and the environment. I also appreciate a heartfelt smile, a goofy sense of humor, and bonus points for dog lovers.

Vidal Sassoon - Outtakes
Monday, 22nd Oct 2012
London's Somerset House is currently playing host to a unique exhibition, celebrating the work of visionary hairstylist Vidal Sassoon. Creating iconic looks for 60s icons and tastemakers including Mia Farrow and Peggy Moffitt, Sassoon's work played a key part in the decade's fashion and cultural shifts.
Combining photography, artwork and film, the exhibition explores how Sassoon's modernist styles challenged the pre-existing ideals of feminine beauty. From the gamine pixie cut to razor-sharp asymmetric crops, the stylist's aim was to save women from hours of rollers and overhead dryers and provide them with timeless cuts that would stay fresh long after they left the salon.
Vidal Sassoon: Outtakes is taking place in the South Wing of the Courtyard Rooms at Somerset House until Sunday 28th October. Click HERE for more information.
A Chat with Horace Panter
Thursday, 18th Oct 2012
Horace Panter was studying for a degree in Fine Art when he and some friends formed a little band called The Specials. Several albums, tours and trips around the world later, art is back in the frame for the musician and painter who has used these opportunities as inspiration for his work. We caught up with Horace to chat influences, icons and what's up next.
Fred Perry: Hi Horace, talk us through your most recent work:
Horace Panter: I'm currently working with a screen printer in Birmingham. After having read a book on Warhol, I liked the way he used a process that removes the artist, while at the same time using the process to make the work very personal. Also, I like the idea of fake, so I want to do a fake Warhol. I'm also looking at the idea of mixed media, collage and the like. I've recently met up with a Scottish artist, Colin Brown, who does some cool collages; I saw his work in a gallery in St Andrews and they reminded me of some of my ʻChicago Blues' pieces so I bought one. I'm always referring back to the work of Joseph Cornell because he is an important influence. In terms of painting, I'm doing some faux-religious stuff. I'm fascinated with the symbolism of all those Fra Angelica Giotto, early Renaissance painters- I'm convinced I'll end up painting real icons!
FP: You were studying art when you first formed The Specials - do you think your art and music inspire one another, or are they very separate disciplines?
HP: They are separate disciplines. As a musician (I'm a bass guitarist) I'm dependent on drummers, singers, guitarists, etc., and I'm a very good team player. This is very different to painting, which I view as my ʻsolo career'. Where the two disciplines converge is in the marketing. I've used a music-business model to get the work seen; my wife is my Malcolm McClaren!
FP: Is there any particular music you listen to whilst you work?
HP: When I'm doing my Blues paintings, I listen to Blues! I have difficulty with multi-tasking; I could never do my school homework with the TV on. I generally work in silence – total concentration.
FP: Are there any particular visual artists who have inspired you, or whose style is evident in your work?
HP: I'm like a chameleon…or the Borg! I assimilate a lot of stuff I see: Henri Rousseau, Peter Blake, Wayne Thiebaud, Robert Indiano, Kenneth Noland, Mark Rothko, Ed Rusha, and traditional iconography. I have some cool books on Australian Aborigine Art and I was really impressed with what I saw in Beijing a couple of years ago. I suppose Pop Art is my biggest influence, but I've started looking a lot at American 19th century Realists. I think The Borg is the best description of my influences and tastes!
FP: Several of your paintings feature other noted musicians - do you see art as a means of paying homage to your heroes? Is there a reason behind these pieces?
HP: I love The Blues and I have always wanted to describe the music visually, not just paint a picture of Muddy Waters, but try to describe the music itself. The Blues wasn't tidy, wasn't polite, neat. It was visceral, brash, came from the heart, rather than the head. I've tried to put that over in the work. And yes, absolutely, these paintings are a homage to my favourite Blues practitioners!
In another galaxy altogether, I saw an exhibition of Stanley Spencer's ʻGarden Paintings' that I thought were beautiful, so I painted a picture of a scarecrow in a kitchen garden with him in mind - trying to 'channel his spirit' I suppose. One of my favourite Wayne Thiebaud paintings is of a pair of shoes and I've just gone out and bought myself a new pair of Doc Marten brogues that are currently sitting atop a desk in my painting studio!
FP: Do you have a favourite piece, or a project you are particular proud of?
HP: The ʻFruit Girl' paintings probably, although ʻPunk Rock Girl' and ʻBeijing Street Sweeper' both have something special about them. Of the Blues paintings, ʻHound Dog Taylor' and ʻStevie Ray Vaughan' are my favourites, although ʻBo Diddley' and ʻMuddy Waters' seem to be the most popular. If there is a painting I'm NOT proud of, you don't get to see it!
FP: You've been in several successful musical groups, but your painting is a solitary project. In your mind, what are the pros and cons of creating individually and as part of a group?
HP: As I said earlier, being in a band involves tight team work and working for the benefit of the group as a whole. Painting, as you remark, is a solitary occupation ... all the decisions, successes and failures, are my own! I enjoy my own company so I have no problem with immersing myself for hours on end in the process of realising an idea on paper. The studio is probably my favourite place. Having said that, I can't deny that being on a stage playing bass guitar is close to heavenly!
FP: Finally, what's coming up next for you - more music, or more art?
HP: The Specials are about to announce plans for 2013, which I'm really looking forward to. Regarding the art, 2012 has been a very positive year and has put me in a good position for 2013. My work is represented by several galleries in the UK and even one in Singapore: White Room Art, Leamington Spa and Bath; Number Nine Gallery, Birmingham; Contemporary Six, Manchester; Metropolis Art, Bournemouth; 1 Love Art, Bristol; The Artists Gallery, Aberdeen; Icon Gallery, Singapore. So, in answer to your question...both!

The Art of a Warrior Tribe
Friday, 6th Apr 2012
The Gildar Gallery in Denver, Colorado is offering a candid look at the West Coast punk scene through a selection of photographs by Richard Peterson - a former photographer for cult San Francisco punk zine Search and Destroy. Having gained unrivalled access to many of the scene's most notorious luminaries including Iggy Pop, the Avengers and the Weirdos; curator Adam Lerner notes that "Peterson is interested in much more than rockers on a stage. He captured the scene, the world that surrounded the musicians, with an eye to what made it enchanted and unexpected."
Iggy Pop by Richard Peterson, 1978
The Weirdos by Richard Peterson, 1977
The Avengers by Richard Peterson, 1978
Whilst the origin of punk has often been disputed, it is thought that the movement emerged in the mid 1970's in major cities in the US, UK and Australia. Born as a reaction to what was seen as a return in dominant culture of conspicuous consumerism, punk quickly spread, primarily through the medium of music, to other regions around the world promoting nonconformity and a DIY ethic. While much of American punk history has focused on East Coast scenes particularly in New York City, a wholly unique form of punk emerged with fervour across the country in San Francisco and Los Angeles. These California punks, while aware and influenced by their long distance counterparts, drew upon their immediate surroundings to develop a wholly identifiable look, sound and vision.
The Art of a Warrior Tribe captures this DIY ethic with Peterson's photographs supported by objects created by visual artists, musicians, and writers who the photographer has identified as deeply influential to him. Contributions span from major art world figures like Bruce Connor, to musicians turned visual artists like Moritz Reichelt, Penelope Houston (Avengers), David J (Bauhaus), Fritz Fox (Mutants), Steven Thomsen (Monitor) and Jeff Raphael (The Nuns).
Richard Peterson and the Art of a Warrior Tribe will run from now until 21st April 2012.

A Call to the Leaders of the World
call to the leaders of the world for the end of nuclear weapon
development and the total elimination of all existing nuclear weapons.
Inspired by St. Francis of Assisi (1181-1226.C.E.) who wrote to his
early followers that they were not to bear arms for any reason,
Franciscan men and women throughout the world have continued to advocate
peace and to challenge those caught up in the threatening arms race. The
recent nuclear weapons tests in India and Pakistan make us aware once
more how perilous are the threats to peace. A territorial war between
these two countries could lead to desperate use of atomic weapons across
the border. We are aware that other nations are attempting to develop or
purchase nuclear arms. The decrease in the control of the tens of
thousands of existing nuclear weapons makes the possibility of nuclear
outbreak even more frightening.
It is
abundantly clear that no power, neither an individual nation nor the
United Nations, can prevent the widening spiral of proliferation,
despite the fact that 148 nations have signed the Nuclear
Non-Proliferation Treaty. World health professionals insist that the
medical requirements of a nuclear exchange are unimaginable and
unavailable. The cost in human suffering would be enormous. Yet the
fateful day of such an exchange looms closer and closer.
Although there are many signatories to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test
Ban Treaty, we know that not all countries have signed. Even among those
who have signed, the necessary ratification by proper government bodies
is by no means certain. We are also aware that the treaty is interpreted
by some as allowing for various forms of sub-critical tests and tests by
simulation through new highly complex computer processes. Even with the
signed Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CNTB), the development of new,
more lethal nuclear weapons continues by the major powers while
proliferation among formerly non-nuclear states continues.
It is
striking that India, for example, so long an advocate of the abolition
of all nuclear weapons, should be the most recent source of nuclear
expansionism. India still insists that it is ready to sign the
Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty and to join the signers of the
Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty if they see the major nuclear powers
clearly moving towards the elimination of all nuclear weapons as
required by Article VI of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
Unfortunately, it is obvious that the major powers, while willing to
negotiate some reductions in arms, plan to maintain sizable nuclear
forces well into the next millennium which provides India, and other
countries, with the excuse not to sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty
genuinely believe that there is an overwhelming desire among the people
of the earth to remove the specter of nuclear devastation from the face
of the planet. The world's number one agenda should be how to safely rid
the world of the instruments of evil and destruction. We urge all
nations, especially the major nuclear powers, to respond positively to
the challenge for the abolition of all nuclear weapons.
October 1997 Archbishop Renato Martino spoke on behalf of Pope John Paul
II to the United Nations:
Nuclear weapons are incompatible with the peace we seek for the 21st
century. They cannot be justified. They deserve condemnation. The
preservation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty demands an unequivocal
commitment to their abolition. This is a moral challenge, a legal
challenge and a political challenge. That multibased challenge must be
met by the application of our humanityY Let not the immensity of their
task dissuade us from efforts needed to free humanity from such a
statement reflects an earlier historic call by the International Court
of Justice July, 1996. The court stated:
" The
threat or use of nuclear weapons would generally be contrary to the
rules of International law applicable to armed conflict, and in
particular the principles and rules of humanitarian lawYThere exists an
obligation to pursue in good faith and bring to a conclusion
negotiations leading to nuclear disarmament in all its aspects under
strict and effective international control."
was a period of time when it was considered acceptable for a nation to
keep some nuclear weapons for deterrence while proceeding to remove them
from existence. However, the nuclear powers do not intend to completely
rid themselves of their huge stockpiles of massive and indiscriminate
means of destruction. In fact they are proceeding to test and develop
even more sophisticated nuclear weapons.
we call for the total abolition of nuclear weapons. The number and
disbursement of nuclear weapons throughout the world makes their sudden
use dangerously imminent. We also draw attention to the drastic impact
that the nuclear weapons industry has on the poor, especially children.
It is not only the destruction caused in the event of their use, but we
protest the vast amounts of resources invested in research, development
and production of these weapons of mass destruction.
Inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, we work for the rights of every human
being, especially the most marginalised, as well as the respect for all
of creation. In our International gatherings we have reiterated our
abhorrence of war and have especially condemned the building,
stockpiling, research and the use of nuclear weapons.
As we
enter the Third Millennium, we address this letter to you in the same
spirit as St. Francis had when he addressed his
"Letter to the Rulers of the People." He
wrote out of concern, both for the Rulers and for the people. So too, we
write to you with sincere concern for all the nations of the world. We
Franciscans urge you to abolish all nuclear weapons and to commit our
resources to the human and spiritual needs of the world community.
Unless we do this, the horrendous dangers that threaten the human race
are unthinkable.
and Good,
Fr. Giacomo Bini
Minister General, OFM


text: Report from Puglia Becky Sue Epstein March 15, 2010 FCG, Features 11 Comments Until recently, very little wine was bottled and shipped from Puglia. Now, this emerging wine region is trying to establish its identity with indigenous grapes, and is also working to upgrade both its wines and its reputation after being known as a bulk wine zone. When I went to Puglia a few weeks ago, I found that the rumors abounding in the wine world are true: the wines of Puglia are becoming more interesting and their quality is improving. This region, also known as Apulia, occupies "the heel of the boot" in Italy. It's been a thriving area for millennia, since it was part of the Greek empire only about 40 miles across the Adriatic to present day Albania, just north of Greece. Local growers are turning into producers and local winemakers are bottling more of their own wines. Everyone seems to be experimenting with blending, and some results are better than others. Puglia and its wines are most interesting when you actually visit this emerging Italian wine region, mainly because little of their production gets to the outside world (though that is changing). While wines and olive oils have been made here for centuries, Puglians rarely got credit when their products were shipped out. Puglia still supplies more olive oil than any other province in Italy. And 70% of its wines (down from 80%, recently) are produced in bulk, not bottled. The bulk wines end up in the north, sometimes acknowledged and sometimes flying under the radar in blends—kind of an open secret. Occasionally there's an Italian wine scandal when someone tallies all the wine bottled in another region and realizes it adds up to more wine than that region produces. (But there's no documented proof—I'm just saying…) Back to the documentable wines: though there are a respectable 25 officially denominated wine regions (qualified as DOC or Denominazione di Origine Controllata) in Puglia, no wine region has reached the higher DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) status, and it may be some time until this happens. Right now everyone is concentrating on upgrading their vineyards and their wines in order to make a positive impression on the rest of the world. They're also learning more about their indigenous grapes—though torn, as in other emerging regions, with the desire for the instant income promised by planting international varietals versus the long-term process of building their own identity. In Puglia I found indigenous grapes I'd never seen before. Some have interesting stories about their origins. Nero di troia, also called uva di troia: could it be from the legendary Greek city of Troy? Did it come across from Spain as a relative of the tempranillo grape, with the noble d'Alfonso family that ruled here some centuries ago? Or did this red grape merely originate in a small Puglian town called Troia? Negroamaro: is this grape named for both the Latin and Greek words for "black" referring to the deep color of this red grape? Other notable native Puglian red grapes include aglianco (also native to nearby Campania), aleatico (for sweet wines), primitivo and the rediscovered sussumaniello. They also plant other reds such as montepulciano and sangiovese, imported from other parts of Italy. White grapes include the indigenous bombino bianco, bianco d'alessano, greco bianco, (Campania's) fiano, the international varietal chardonnay, and the Mediterranean-wide malvasias and moscatos. At least one large, quality producer from another part of the country—Tuscan giant Antinoria—has been investing here for over a decade. Though their name is not featured on the Puglian properties, the Antinori family has created the relatively upscale Tormaresca winery as well as establishing a new, large Masseria Maime production facility. Tormaresca makes a nice IGT Chardonnay blended from their two estates, and as well as an estate-grown Bocca di Lupo from 100% aglianico. At other wineries, the situation is similar: at least one or two good wines so far. From the many wines I sampled, here are a few examples: Cefalicchio's Bianco 2009 from 100% moscato bianco, and Rosato 2008 "Ponte de Lama" made from 100% nero di troia; Botromagno's Poggio al Bosco 2008, a single vineyard white; Cantele's Salice Salentino 2006 made from negroamaro with some malvasia nera; L'Astore's Filime 2008 from negroamaro; Rivera's Puer Apulia 2005 single vineyard Nero di Troia. Several wineries also make very good Moscato di Trani DOC dessert wines, though these wines are unfortunately rare in the US. Puglian wines have started coming into the U.S., and frankly the price point was the initial attraction for importers. Now that the wines are increasing in quality, their prices are going up, too—faster than the region's reputation—which is creating a problem for would-be exporters in Puglia. Currently over two dozen Puglian wineries export to the U.S., though often in very limited amounts, and each wine may be available only in a few cities. But the Puglians are on the offensive. They've launched an active campaign, inviting food and wine journalists, chefs, and buyers to experience their hospitality (which is how I got there). WINES FROM PUGLIA AVAILABLE IN THE US: At one point during my trip I was handed a printout of wineries that have some wines available in the US, and I reproduce it here, in the same order: Conti Zecca, Longo, Vallone, Sigillo, Guarini, Cefalicchio-, Petrelli, Marmo, Santa Lucia, Cantele, Palama, Rivera, Candido, Botromagno, Vecchia torre, Baldassarre, D'Alfonso, De Falco, Due Palme, Colli Della Murgia, San Mazano, L'Astore, Mottura, Santi Dimitri, Tormaresca, Torrequarto, Torrevento, Vetrere, Vigne e Vini, Vigneti Reale, Coppa d'Oro.

I live in Puglia, precisely in Salento, in the middle of the Negroamaro area, where Salice Salentino DOC is. I think that quality here is growing, but we have to work hard to make better wines. Did you try Torre Testa (Tenute Rubino) Susumaniello 100%? I'd like to know what you think about it. In addition, I have a question: can I translate this post in italian language to publish on my new start up blog called ThePuglia http://www.thepuglia.com. It's a travel guide which will have a design in few days and in which I write about my region: food & wine, cities, landscapes, traditions, … Next year it will be in english too, I hope, so I can share my opinions with the rest of the world! Let me know and thanks, Fabio Tom Betz You will also find a delightful value Primitivo in the US under the label "Mommy's Time Out" for about $10 a bottle. Silly name, but a very pleasurable wine, especially after an hour's decanting. http://www.wineexpo.com/ Roberto Rogness Becky, two cantine you did NOT mention have been in competition to be our largest selling single winery here at our store in Santa Monica, Ca for years: Azienda Agricola Vitivinicola Lomazzi & Sarl in Latiano and Azienda Vinicola Palamà in Cutrofiano, In addition, the insane Primitivi from Azienda Agricola Petrera Pasquale in Gioia del Colle have a near cult following with our clientele. Some of the best values in the world of wine are produced in Apuglia and we will be looking for more at VinItaly 2010 next month. Pingback: uberVU - social comments() bob cappuccino I applaud your efforts to bring the lush and wonderful wines of Puglia to your reader's attention. I was surprised that you did not mention Az Agr Cosimo Taurino of Guagnano. This is THE iconic Salice Salentino! It was the late Cosimo who was the first to bottle and ship Salice under his own label. It was also the first, and for many years, the only quality wine shipped to the US from southern Italy. Winebow, arguably America's finest Italian wine importer, was indeed founded on that particular wine. I invite you to try it and its' more refined siblings NOTARPANARO and more complex PATRIGLIONE. They ARE Puglia in a bottle. They are available in most markets. NB: My company IMA Imports, Bloomington, Mn is now the US importer for Az Agr Cosimo Taurino. http://www.twitter.com/deaelmi Dea Thank you for writing a wonderful and informative post about Puglian wines, I loved Primitivo wines when I lived back home in DC, they remind me of good Zinfandels. I live in southern Italy now, in western sicily an area called Marsala/Trapani, this region is the most heavily vinified regions in the world and they make wonderful reds wines such as Nero D'avola, Syrahs and Merlots and white wines; Grecanico, Grillo, Inzolias. I look forward to travelling to Puglia this summer and visiting some of these wineries you wrote about. http://www.jkimports.com James Koch Great report! Puglia reminds me very much of Emilia Romagna. Still rural, yet at the same time modern. Wherever you go, you'll find very welcoming, friendly, focused, future oriented people. By the way, Cefalicchio is a certified biodynamic (Demeter) estate. They have even gone so far to as to install their own solar power plant and are now raising their own sheep to guarantee 'clean' manure in their vineyards. A truly very impressive operation in Puglia. I had the pleasure to visit Cefalicchio a couple of times over the past two years and been able to experience, first hand, their (Fabrizio, wine maker, and Nicola, winery manager) commitment to do 'things' the right way: Not only to produce 100% natural, top-quality wines at the best prices possible but also with the least amount of impact on their land and nature. http://www.livefromtuscany.blogspot.com LivefromTuscany I had a very uninteresting tasting of Tormaresca the other day… way over-oaked and unbalanced, I was not impressed. However, that doesn't take away from the fact that Puglia is up and coming! Who knows how many famous wines we've been drinking from the north and Tuscany for years without realizing we were enjoying the fruits of Puglia :). Ask a Pugliese winemaker how the French got through phylloxera still producing wine! Pingback: cutrofiano() Adam Caperton Please search out as well the fine wines of Rosa del Golfo…Primitivo, Negroamaro (Scaliere) and Rose…Beautifully crafted and distinctive… http://www.bythetun.blogspot.com Mattie Bamman Thank you for writing such a useful report! I've been living in Puglia, researching its wines for the last year and a half because I've been so impressed by them. I find one of the most difficult things is connecting these wines with Americans. 1) few wineries distribute to the US, and 2) the distributors seem to change often. Here are a few more wineries that I know for sure distribute to the US: Botrugno Winery Castello Monaci Castel del Salve Cosimo Taurino Leone di Castris Most of these wineries only distribute to NYC, but hopefully that'll change. Also, the white Fiano grape grown in Puglia is not the same as the Fiano grown in Campania (at least, to my taste buds). Winemakers are naming their wines Fiano di Minutolo to mark the distinction, and there's a movement toward renaming it simply Minutolo.

Richard Kern is always doing something cool. If he's not hanging out with Sonic Youth, he's taking nice photos of topless girls.
If you're not familiar with Richard Kern, he makes art-porn. And that doesn't mean like classy, couples porn that aspires to be artsy like X-Art. Richard Kern's photography is more often than not nude amateur babes that is classified as art rather than amateur pornography. Why? It's just the luck of the draw, I guess.
For his latest gallery of topless girls, Richard Kern was some how able to combine three of our most favorite things: amateur nude girls, home entertainment systems and cut-offs.
Let's take a look at Richard Kern's new photos:
Source: vice.com via bubblegumtaint on Sex.com
Source: vice.com via bubblegumtaint on Sex.com
Some of you may recognize the girl in the very first photo. It's Jessie Andrews, the porn star. That means this Richard Kern gallery combines four of our favorite things: amateur nude girls, home entertainment systems, cut-offs, and Jessie Andrews.
Hopefully, this Richard Kern gallery reminds you that cut-offs are sexy. Cut-offs's sex appeal have nearly been entirely cut-off thanks to Arrested Development (are you guys stoked for the new season?), but they're coming back in a big way I predict.
Also, it's refreshing to see some very attractive girls demonstrating that they like to chill. Girls who like to chill are where it's at.
Speaking of girls who like to chill: Babe of the Day is back! Go see today's Babe of the Day Ashley Sky and come back tomorrow and every day after to meet a new Babe of the Day.via Vice.com

My dad got this for me in 1966, the first gun I ever owned and still have it cost $35 in 1966. it was mfg. 1958.
Good choice. Got to love a SAA Colt!! I am pretty sure it is valued at more than 35 bucks now.
I'll give ya 40. for it .....JJ
Had, oddly enough, that was my first handgun, in 1970. Eventually swapped it on a Bearcat, which I still have.
Were the silver parts always that color, or were they anodized blue? I seem to recall that the frame on mine was alloy; passed up one with a color case frame because I didn't like it....arghh!
Nice you've held on to yours!
Very nice. Great to see an older SA Colt in such good shape.
That is a good looking colt. The older SA's have a lot of class.
Man, that's a nice revolver.

The Forecast team today released their iOS 7 update for Dark Sky ($3.99), the 'down-to-the-minute' weather app. The update strips back the bevels and gloss to fit the iOS 7 aesthetic. The new design puts the most important information — the current weather conditions — front and center. A graph plot of upcoming precipitation is also available at a glance on the main page of the app.
Blurring has also been used to great effect, with the forecast information superimposed on a blurred view of the global radar maps. These maps are beautifully rendered; the radar patterns smoothly transition over time. In addition to the radically new design, version 4 also brings much forecasts that span longer into the future. The next 24 hours is prioritised, but 7-day outlooks are available with a swipe. The day-by-day breakdowns offer a lot of information, more so than most weather reports will provide.
Completely rewritten from scratch, it sets aside the limitations of the web to become the weather app we've always wanted — and always wanted to build. It's the culmination of over two years of work in figuring out how to display and organize weather data the right way. And it's a full featured weather app — something we swore we'd never do — but it still remains true to its original focus on what's happening right now, where you're standing.
The developers say the app is a complete rewrite, which makes the fact they are not charging for the update impressive. For new customers, Dark Sky is available for $3.99 on the App Store. Note that Dark Sky coverage currently encompasses the United States, the UK and Ireland. The developers have said that they are actively working on adding data for more regions.

It's pretty and all, but I really really miss the darker interface. :(
This POC is so inaccurate I deleted it long ago. Apparently SNOW will fall of beautiful sunny skies in 20 min. *rolling my eyes*
This looks cool, and may well be accurate, but really all I need to know is the current and future temp. That's why I use Solar: Weather. It provides the temp and conditions, and by-the-minute temp up to 24 hours in the future, plus the 3 day forecast. This is just weather overload. If I need a weather radar map, I have The Weather Channel Max app.
