The next step of me...
I'm pretty open and up front, as it deters confusion and assumption. I'm kinda simple and easy going but with an inner "aahhh" for shiny new toys every once and a while. I'm just as comfortable at home watching Netflix/Hulu as I am downtown on rooftop bar. Upfront.. My cooking sucks! But I can iron a dress shirt like no bodies business! Even trade? Hmm maybe... I also have this southern conservative/liberal mindset thing going on that's only balanced in my head. So... that means that I'm of the mindset that hard work is a part of life, so find your spot and dig in. I also take pride in being a good friend; I've been blessed with some good ones. This leads me to believe that friendship is the base of all solid relationships; as it fosters growth and true companionship. My goal is to meet a mentally mature and liked minded partner to build a friendship which evolves into a lasting "us". Like minded, in the sense of being goal oriented, aggressive, loving, passionate, honest, and assertive. Someone who accepts and stands in their truth but isn't afraid to let go and live in the moment. I'm adventurous and curious by nature, which demands that I seek out the unknown.

I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs
Very Liberal
I love TAO "sensory over load", La Marina "drinks and the view", Kazuza "hookah bar" and the High Line "just for walking and the view".
I've fallen in love with Central Park "again' because I'm a tree and grass person remember I'm southern, so I can't deal with too much cement. I'm also big on taking pics of random things that catch my eye; bridges, traffic, trees, and snow.
I'm all over the city taking pictures and checking out new places I haven't been before or seen. I'll pick a location and just walk around because I see a lot more on foot than car. I'm also a movieholic which means I love Netflix and Hulu.
The news.. I know crazy right? I love CNN and the BBC. I'm on both websites multiple times a day it's borderline OCD :).

Bullfrog International, manufacturer of advanced hot tubs, recently donated a Model 362 portable spa to the Eagle Condor Humanitarian foundation to benefit several impoverished villages in Northern Peru.
(Vocus) July 8, 2010 -- Bullfrog International LC, manufacturers of Bullfrog Spas with JetPaks, recently donated a Model 362 portable hot tub for auction at a fundraising event for Eagle Condor Humanitarian.
The Eagle Condor mission statement reads: "Enriching lives, empowering people while building self-reliance." The group provides aid, micro loans, and continuing education for people in the villages of Northern Peru.
Unfortunately the impact of the economy on family budgets in wealthier nations can have a ripple effect that reaches to areas of the world that rely on outside help. Charity Navigator reports: "The data for 2008 showed the largest drop in private contributions in the 53 years it has been tracked."* Charities like Eagle Condor know that it is even more important than ever to have corporate fundraising help these days.
Bullfrog Spas Director of Sales and Marketing, Jaden Kemp, commented, "Bullfrog is happy to do what we can with great organizations like Eagle Condor to benefit people in impoverished areas." Kemp continues, "The good thing about a program like this is that, even though someone gets a really nice spa for their donation, that money that they donated really goes a long way in places where a dollar or two may be a full day's income."
The Eagle Condor website describes the economic situation in places where they provide aid:

The only other model I've finished this year... Wrapping it up just as Gregg was publishing the reference photos and Jairus' artwork for new Mustang ideas! Some of you probably saw this on the "other Board" when I posted a few months ago.
AFX n Scale hood, grille, chin spoiler, side scoops, window vents and rear spoiler.
Painted Testors lacquer GTS blue pearl, Tamiya light gunmetal stripes with Duplicolor champagne gold border and testors clear lacquer topcoat. Theres also testors flat and semi-gloss black lacquer on the trim. Last but not least, a shot of Alclad chrome in the taillight buckets. Believe me, there were a lot of masking sessions involved in this paint job!
I used Tamiya clear red and clear orange on the lenses. The 18" pegasus wheels (which fit the kit tires w/ minor mods) are painted Tamiya light gunmetal.
The Interior is painted with some off brand hi-temp engine paint, just because I like the color and tone of it.
Testors flat and semi-gloss black, Alclad steel and chrome and Testors jet exhaust on the heat shields.
Hope you like it!

The First West Coast World Championship Season!1959 Don Drysdale Game Worn Los Angeles Dodgers Jersey (MEARS A10) with 1960 Pants (MEARS Authentic). Those wholesome "happy days" of the 1950's weren't all "Leave it to Beaver" and "Father Knows Best," despite what late night classic television re-runs might have you believe. John Wayne ruled the silver screen with murderous detachment, and Rocky Marciano turned every Heavyweight title defense into a bloody battle of attrition. In Major League Baseball, it was a six-foot five right hander out in Los Angeles who served as the standard bearer for no-nonsense masculinity, a lawman who doled out justice with searing horsehide. "If they knocked two of your guys down, I'd get four," he explained. You have to protect your hitters."
A menacing persona only gets you so far, however, and while Drysdale's eighteen plunkings led all National League pitchers in 1959, so did his 242 strikeouts, and the four complete game shutouts he pitched en route to denying the Milwaukee Braves juggernaut a third consecutive flag. In just their second season in Los Angeles, the Dodgers would continue on to match their World Championship tally built over seven decades of Brooklyn haplessness, claiming a four games to two World Series victory over the Chicago White Sox.
Presented is a home white flannel worn on the mound by the future Hall of Famer during that historic campaign, and possibly during Drysdale's Game Three Fall Classic victory at the Los Angeles Coliseum. As the unimprovable rating from the experts at MEARS would indicate, the garment remains 100% original and unaltered since its time with the iconic beanballer, announcing "Dodgers 53" in classic blue and red felt on the chest, with the digits repeated in blue on verso. Lower left front tail holds proper "Rawlings Hall of Fame Flannel [size] 44" labeling above a blue chain stitched "Drysdale 59," embroidered directly into the jersey body. Interior tail reveals a washing instructions label holding a "Set 1 1959" flap tag at right edge. The jersey exhibits solid wear but none of the staining or moth holes typical of decades-old flannel. The obverse is autographed twice in bold black sharpie.
Matching white pants date to the subsequent season, as an embroidered swatch at interior waistband indicates: "Drysdale 60 33 ins." Manufacturer and washing instructions labels are identical to the jerseys, and are joined by a size "38" designator. Like the jersey, the pants show solid, undamaged wear and support a perfect joint display. A separate MEARS letter accompanies the pants with an "Authentic" rating, the only affirmation assigned by the service for pants. Full LOA's from MEARS (Jersey A10, Pants "Authentic.") Full LOA from PSA/DNA (autograph). Full LOA from James Spence Authentication (autograph).

FERNDALE - Ferndale residents could vote on whether to pay more at the pump if the City Council approves a penny-per-gallon gas tax measure for the November ballot.
The council could vote on the ballot measure at its meeting Monday, July 7. To get it on the November ballot, the council will have to approve the measure by Aug. 5, City Clerk Sam Taylor said.
If voters approve the tax, money raised would go toward road repairs in the city.
"Most of our roads need millions of dollars in renovations," Taylor said.
This isn't the first time that the City Council has considered adding a citywide 1-cent gasoline tax. The tax has been debated several times over the years, most recently in spring 2013. At that time, council initially approved putting the tax on the ballot, but then-councilman Lloyd Zimmerman moved for a reconsideration, and two council members who had supported putting it on the ballot changed their votes to no.
Jon Mutchler was one of those who voted no because he was concerned about the impact on small, locally owned gas stations. Station owners he spoke to had said that even a penny could be difficult to pass along to customers, so the tax likely would be paid by station owners rather than raising prices at the pump.
"Every penny that you raise the price, there's a certain number of customers that will go down the street to Bellingham. I don't know how many, but that's just how it works," Mutchler said. "On the other hand, we need to fix our streets."
At the time, council discussed exempting a portion of gas sales, but Mutchler was worried that if the exemption wasn't written into the ballot measure it could change with the whims of the council.
The measure Mutchler and Councilman Keith Olson put forward this time around includes an exemption for the first 60,000 gallons of gas sold at each station per month. With 10 gas stations in Ferndale, that would add up to $72,000 in taxes the city wouldn't collect.
Ferndale is the only eligible city in Whatcom County that hasn't adopted a border-city gas tax.
The city has had a difficult time assessing how much money the tax could bring in, though Taylor said Blaine's tax brought in about $250,000 in 2013. He thought Ferndale would be similar, possibly raising up to $180,000 after the exempted sales. That money can then be used as a city match when applying for state grants. The transportation benefit district sales tax that voters approved in 2012 has helped the city get $2 million in state grants for local road projects, he said.
Cities are becoming increasingly self-sufficient when it comes to transportation funding, Taylor said. With limited money in the state budget for local projects, Mutchler said he saw the merits of a gas tax so the city could take care of its streets.
"I'm a conservative and I don't like taxes. But as a conservative, they're our streets and we need to fix our streets," Mutchler said. "We need to step up to the plate and find ways to do that locally."
The Ferndale City Council meeting begins at 6 p.m. Monday, July 7, at the City Hall Annex, 5694 Second Ave.
Jon Mutchler voted no on Ferndale's gas tax ballot measure both times it went before Ferndale City Council in 2013. His original vote was corrected July 3.

The confusion, as Breazeale described it, stemmed from the Jekyll-and-Hyde nature of Mississippi's nation-leading charitable giving and the state's lagging behind the rest of the country in many poverty-related areas.

Misclassification of employees as independent contractors
|This article includes inline citations, but they are not properly formatted. (May 2015)
|Taxation in the United States
IRS reclassification as an employee occurs where persons claimed as (or claiming to be) independent contractors are recategorized by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), or by state tax authorities, as W-2 employees. The reclassification can result in the imposition of fines, penalties, and back-taxes for which the employer is generally liable. These amounts could cost a business large sums of money. The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) (formerly known as the General Accounting Office) reports that the IRS claims to lose millions of dollars in uncollected payroll, social security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance taxes because of misclassification of independent contractors by taxpayers.[1] According to IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson in a statement made November 3, 2005, IRS audits of small businesses organized as corporations increased from 7,294 in 2004 to 17,867 in 2005. [2]
Who is being classified?[edit]
Employers must report the incomes of employees and independent contractors using the IRS form W-2 and 1099, respectively. Employers pay different taxes (i.e. Social Security and Medicare taxes, unemployment taxes, etc.) on the wages of a worker that is classified as an employee. However, these same taxes are generally not paid by the employer on the compensation of a worker classified as an independent contractor. Instead, the worker classified as an independent contractor is responsible for their employer's share of the taxes when he or she pays self-employment taxes at the end of the year.[1] If an employer intentionally or mistakenly classifies an employee as an independent contractor, the employer is then at risk for being heavily fined and paying back-taxes.
Being classified as an independent contractor also affects whether an employee can receive unemployment benefits. In many states, independent contractors are not eligible for unemployment benefits because nothing has been paid into the unemployment insurance fund on their behalf. Employers who have no W-2 employees are not required to make payments to the unemployment insurance fund, and since no one can file a claim for benefits, they don't have to worry about their accounts being charged any extra. So should a misclassified employee lose his job through no fault of his own, that employee has to contact their state Unemployment Agency (for example EDD in California) and file a claim. EDD would then investigate the matter and make a determination as to whether the worker was an employee or a contractor, and award unemployment benefits accordingly.
Employee vs. independent contractor[edit]
According to the IRS, an employee is anyone who performs services for an employer if the employer can control what will be done and how it will be done. This was codified in revenue ruling 87-41, and is generally called "the twenty factor test". [3][4][5] Independent contractors are defined so if the payer or employer has the right to control or direct only the result of the work done, and not the means and methods of accomplishing the result. There are also other categories such as non-employees, which include direct sellers.[6]
Employees and independent contractors have very different benefits. Employees are entitled to the protection of wage and hour laws and are protected from discrimination and retaliation by employers. Employees are legally entitled to family medical leave and benefits such as medical insurance and pension plans. Employees are entitled to bargain collectively with their employers. Employees are entitled to workers' compensation for job-related injuries and employers must pay into social security, Medicare, and unemployment insurance for their employees.[7] None of that applies to independent contractors; they aren't entitled to the legal protections of an employee and they pay their own social security, Medicare, and unemployment taxes in full. [8]
Service sector employees are more likely than others to be misclassified as independent contractors. Commonly misclassified positions include delivery and taxi drivers, nurses and home health aids, housekeepers [9], and adult entertainment workers. [10]
|FedEx argued it wasn't in the business of making deliveries[2]
Efforts by firms in the sharing economy such as Uber to maintain independent contractor status for "partners" such as Uber drivers have been questioned.[2]
IRS Documents: Form SS-8, Determination of Worker Status for Purposes of Federal Employment Taxes and Income Tax Withholding[edit]
If it is still unclear whether a worker is an employee or an independent contractor the IRS Form SS-8 can be filed with the IRS.
Mitigating IRS reclassification risk[edit]
|This article contains instructions, advice, or how-to content. (September 2009)
One must determine if an evaluation of a worker's classification is necessary. Independent contractors on an approved vendor list, or whose services are on an exempt services list, may not require an evaluation. Also, independent contractors immediately willing to become W-2 employees through a Portable Employer of Record will not require an evaluation. If the analysis is necessary, a qualified Compliance Officer attempts to produce an accurate judgment of the workers classification, and delivers his or her written recommendation to the employer.
A Compliance File, including all necessary supporting documentation for the compliant independent contractor, is kept on file in the event of an audit.

Many of these companies are built with workers who are not even considered workers at all. In a twist of business logic that drives much of the sharing economy, these delivery people, drivers, and maids aren't employees – they're entrepreneurs.

Skip to Content
The World's Greatest Music
Rachmaninov's piano concerto-esque work was the 1934 equivalent of sampling a pop song. The Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini is also one of the romantic period's greatest pieces.
Had he lived to hear it, the nineteenth-century Italian composer Niccolò Paganini would surely have been flattered to discover that Sergei Rachmaninov, of all people, had chosen his Caprice No. 24 for solo violin as the inspiration for an ingenious theme and variations for piano and orchestra.
Rachmaninov wasn't the first composer to have written something new in response to the famous caprice: Brahms had done the same thing in the 1860s with his Variations on a Theme of Paganini for solo piano. But these days, it's Rachmaninov's take on this sprightly melody that is far and away the favourite.
To appreciate the inventiveness of the work, it needs to be listened to from start to finish - so get comfortable. Across a twenty-minute period, Rachmaninov moulds the main theme into all sorts of musical styles and formations. And of all the variations, it's No.18 (the Andante cantabile) that sings and soars above any other.
Rachmaninov was himself an outstanding pianist, as is borne out by his very own recording of the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, which is still available today.

Lubrication will help, but you may have to stretch manually first to make the opening a little bigger. Are there any sizes in between which might work?

Dropping out
Here's a reminder to all the parents and grandparents putting money aside to go toward college costs.
Naturally, there's tuition, books, a dorm room and don't forget their burial expenses. Funerals can be very costly if you don't plan ahead.
Are you wondering why I'm talking about death when it comes to an 18 or 19-year-old student? Well, I'm talking about Arizona State University freshman Naomi McClendon, who fatally fell 10 stories after attending an all-you-can-drink party put on by a banned fraternity.
That's too bad, but it's an isolated incident and you did a little under-age drinking when you were in college and it didn't hurt you, you say.
Well, it may have hurt University of Arizona freshman Michael Anderson who, last Friday, was attempting to climb a tower on top of a three-story residence hall.
He fell and was declared dead at the scene. The cause is being investigated.
Did I mention the fraternity pledge, Jack Culiolias, illegally served at a Tempe bar last year and whose body was found in the Salt River? Please, mom and dad: Talk to your kids about that other dangerous drug -- alcohol.
Don't shrug and say, "Kids will be kids." If that's your attitude, "Kids will be dead kids!"
I'm Pat McMahon.

This was one of the best hostels I stayed at in my trip to SE Asia. It was a one minute walk from where the busses drop you off, a ten minute walk to the large market and a 20 minute walk to the war museum. It was located right in the middle of the main backpackers area so it was convenient to going out at night. I arranged two day trips through the hostel and they were both great. The staff was really helpful in giving me advice to plan the rest of my trip, especially Ms. Hang!

ARTBA exec earns Certified Association Executive credential
American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) Vice President for Federal & State Relations Richard A. Juliano has earned the Certified Association Executive (CAE) credential, the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) announced. The CAE is the highest professional credential in the association industry. Less than 5 percent of all association professionals have achieved this distinction.
To be designated CAE, an applicant must have a minimum of three years experience in non-profit organization management, complete a minimum of 100 hours of specialized professional development, pass a stringent examination in association management, and pledge to uphold a code of ethics.
To maintain the certification, individuals must undertake ongoing professional development and activities in association and nonprofit management.
More than 3,900 association professionals currently hold the credential. The CAE program is accredited by the National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA).
Juliano first joined ARTBA in 2002 and has served in his current capacity since 2004. He manages the activities of the association's Contractors Division, which includes more than 3,000 members, and serves as principal liaison to 35 affiliated state and regional contractor organizations and its Council of State Executives.
He is a frequent speaker at transportation construction industry events around the country and represents contractor interests before Congress, federal agencies, and policy groups. Juliano is also treasurer of ARTBA's political action committee.
Prior to joining ARTBA, Juliano served as White House liaison at the United States Department of Transportation under then-Secretary Norman Y. Mineta. For his service during and after the events of September 11, 2001, Juliano received the "Transportation 9/11 Ribbon."
Juliano has an A.B. in public policy studies from the University of Chicago and a J.D. from the University of Chicago Law School. He is a 2009 graduate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for Organization Management (IOM).

text: If you've dreamed of adding Instagram-like photo-sharing to your app, Parse has you covered July 26, 2012 9:27 AM Rebecca Grant 0 If you're not reaching, engaging, and monetizing customers on mobile, you're likely losing them to someone else. Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Parse, a startup beloved by businesses, brands, and developers for making it blissfully easy to create a quality mobile app, just released a new open-source clone of Instagram. AnyPic, the latest addition to the Parse gallery, is a photo-sharing app. Along with open sourcing the technology, Parse produced a tutorial that teaches users "How to Build Instagram in Just 30 Minutes." Now anyone can create a billion dollar app in the time it takes to bake cookies. Not really, but they can at least clone one. "A lot of people are adopting a mobile-first strategy, but mobile development is complicated," said co-founder Ilya Sukhar. "There are connectivity issues, unpredictable iteration cycles, varying interfaces, and multiple code languages. We want to show that building a sexy, engaging, scaleable app does not have to be hard." Parse set out to create AnyPic after observing Instagram's rampaging success. Using Parse's platform, companies attempting to build photo-sharing capabilities into their own products can do it without spending thousands on an elusive (and expensive) mobile developer. Parse will handle the complicated, nitty-gritty, backend work of servers, networks, caching etc. and let businesses deal with the front-facing components like user experience and design. For this reason, Parse has met with great success from companies inside and outside of the technology sector. Well-known companies like Hipmunk, Exec, and Band of the Day, are run with Parse, as well as clothing brands and sports teams that want a mobile presence to ramp up marketing. Parse hit a traction milestone this week and announced that it now powers 25,000 apps and reaches tens of millions of devices. Chances are, with the popularity of mobile technology right now (and around $7 million in venture capital), Parse will only continue to grow and innovate on its quest to democratize mobile development. The company is based in San Francisco and has 16 employees. It participated in the Y Combinator class of summer 2011. AnyPic is currently available in the AppStore. VB's research team is studying mobile user acquisition... Chime in here, and we'll share the results.

One of the bigger questions remaining about Apple's event tomorrow is the price point of the iPhone 5C. Some, including Reuters, have put the price point very low, in the $100 Android range. Others have put it higher at $500 and above. Assuming Apple goes with a 16GB base model, I'd personally guess about $450 or slightly lower. How about you?
ITC will reconsider previous ruling that Samsung infringed Apple text-selection patent
Back in April we noted that the International Trade Commission had handed down a preliminary ruling that Samsung infringed an Apple patent related to a text-selection feature in a number of its Galaxy devices and other smartphones. Today, Reuters reports that an ITC trade panel will now reconsider the decision in a review of the previous ruling ahead of a final decision in the patent battle:
The International Trade Commission said late Tuesday it would take a second look at an ITC judge's decision that Samsung had infringed one Apple patent for a text-selection feature in its smartphones and tablets.
Bloomberg adds that the panel is looking for "additional arguments on three of the four patents that Judge Thomas Pender said were infringed, and comments on how an import ban would affect the public."
The panel will also reconsider a decision in the same case that Samsung didn't infringe a different patent related to detecting when other devices are plugged into a microphone jack.
The ITC, which could impose an import ban on accused devices, is expected to deliver a ruling in Samsung's case against Apple on May 31. A final decision in Apple's case against Samsung is expected on August 1st. Read more
BioShock Infinite, Amazon Send to Kindle, Garmin, Final Fantasy V, Reuters, more
BioShock Infinite: Mac game developers Aspyr announced today that it will be bringing Bioshcok Infinite to the Mac following its release on PC and consoles next week on March 26. It will take Aspyr until the summer to get the third instalment in the Bioshock series up and running on OS X, but the company promised us more details on pricing, preorders, and release dates in the near future. The game follows lead character Booker DeWitt and takes place in the lost, floating city of Columbia. It's the first title in the series that doesn't take place under water and also sees the return of the game's original developer Ken Levine.
Amazon Send to Kindle: Announced by Amazon today, website owners can now add a "Send to Kindle Button" to allow visitors save content directly to Kindle devices and apps. That means that iPhone and iPad users can now use the function on supported sites to send content to the Kindle iOS apps. Some sites such as The Washington Post, TIME, and Boing Boing have already added the button.
Final Fantasy V: The FF-Reunion website is reporting that Final Fantasy V is making its way to the App Store, at least in Japan, by the end of March. The title is said to get the usual overhaul for iOS, but until then you can always play the Game Boy Advance port through an emulator.

Apple renews efforts in India with increased distribution, marketing & installment plans
Despite comments from Apple CEO Tim Cook last year about India remaining a lower priority than many other emerging markets, a report from Reuters today detailed how Apple is "aggressively pushing" the iPhone in India through payment plans and a new marketing campaign. Cook suggested last year that India wasn't the biggest international focus for Apple and multi-layer distribution in the country "really adds to the cost of getting products to market." According to Reuters, on top of an aggressive marketing campaign and payment plans, Apple also aims to increase the distribution channels Cook mentioned last year: Read more
Report: Apple bumps Android from top spot in US smartphone market on strength of iPhone 5 sales
On the strength of iPhone 5 sales, iOS has once again reached the top spot for smartphone market share in the United States, according to new data from Research firm Kantar Worldpanel Comtech (via Reuters). According to the report that tracked smartphone sales over the last 12 weeks ending Oct. 28, iOS now accounts for 48.1-percent of the U.S. smartphone market. That's up 25 percent year-over-year, and it officially bumps Android into second place, but is still just shy of the record 49.3-percent it was able to capture earlier this year.
Android was down from 63.3-percent marketshare over the same 12-week period last year to just 46.7-percent today. As for the rest of the world, you can see from Kantar's data for other countries in the chart below that Android still dominates in most other countries, including: 54.2-percent of the market in Britain, 81.7-percent of the market in Spain, and 73.9-percent in Germany.
Dominic Sunnebo, global consumer insight director at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, comments: "The last time we saw iOS overtake Android in the US was when the iPhone 4S was released and Apple managed to retain its lead for three consecutive periods. This time we predict that Apple will beat its previous high of 49.3% and achieve its highest ever share of the US smartphone market within the next two periods."
The report also provided some data on iPhone 5 sales, noting 62 percent came from existing Apple device owners upgrading. Apple also captured 13 percent of iPhone 5 sales from Android switchers: Read more
Foxconn chairman Terry Gou says company is 'falling short' of iPhone demand
According to a report from Reuters, citing a statement from Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou, Apple's assembler is having a hard time keeping up with iPhone 5 demand. Gou confirmed previous rumors that the company is indeed "falling short" of meeting supply for iPhones and its other unit, Foxconn International Holdings, is assisting with production:
"It's not easy to make the iPhones. We are falling short of meeting the huge demand," Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou told reporters after a business forum.
Following the launch of the iPhone 5, reports claimed employees at Foxconn's Zhengzhou plant went on strike over quality control concerns and lack of training. The same quality control issues were linked to scratching found out of the box on some iPhone 5 units, but it's unclear how much these setbacks have contributed to iPhone 5 delays. Another unnamed executive speaking to The Wall Street Journal last month said the iPhone 5 is "the most difficult device that Foxconn has ever assembled. To make it light and thin, the design is very complicated."
To speed up production of new iPhones, specifically the production of display components, Reuters suggested Apple could provide cash incentives to Sharp, one of its keep suppliers that was thought to have contributed to initial low supplies. Following rumors yesterday that Apple might even be considering making further investments in the failing company, Asymco's Horace Dediu (via Fortune) speculated today that a $2.3 billion discrepancy in Apple's 2012 financials might have already went to Sharp: Read more
Report: EU authorities ready to accept Apple, publishers settlement in ebook price fixing investigation
According to a new report from Reuters, EU authorities are about to accept a deal with Apple and four book publishers in order to end an antitrust investigation into whether Apple conspired with publishers to prevent Amazon from undercutting Apple's ebook pricing. The companies originally proposed the settlement in late August, and it would see Amazon go back to its original ebook pricing for two years. By making the deal, Apple and the publishers will be able to put an end to the antirust investigation and avoid related fines:
Apple, Simon & Schuster, News Corp unit HarperCollins, Lagardere SCA's Hachette Livre, and Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck, the owner of German company Macmillan, made the proposal to the European Commission in September…Pearson Plc's Penguin group, which is also under investigation, did not take part in the offer.
Google/Motorola says Apple's patent claims thrown out 'with prejudice'
According to a report from Reuters, Google issued a statement that a Wisconsin federal court has decided to dismiss Apple's "patent lawsuit with prejudice." The report explained this particular case was brought on by Apple in part to determine what the courts considered fair and reasonable licensing terms for the patent portfolio Google acquired when purchasing Motorola.
Google said in a statement that it is still interested in making a deal with Apple "at a reasonable and non-discriminatory rate in line with industry standards":
"We're pleased that the court has dismissed Apple's lawsuit with prejudice," a Google spokeswoman said in an emailed statement on Monday…"Motorola has long offered licensing to our extensive patent portfolio at a reasonable and non-discriminatory rate in line with industry standards," Google said in its statement. "We remain interested in reaching an agreement with Apple."
Reuters explained the case being dismissed with prejudice means it is officially over at the trial court level. However, Apple can still appeal: Read more
Apple loses appeal over tablets in UK courtroom, must publicly apologize to Samsung
Apple and Samsung's legal fight continued on the world stage this morning, where the Britain Court of Appeal upheld a previous ruling that Samsung's Galaxy Tab does not infringe on the iPad's patents because it is not "as cool." Reuters reported that after losing the appeal this morning, Apple has been instructed by the court to apologize to Samsung by running ads on its website and in newspapers saying Samsung did not infringe on patents in at least Arial 14 font.
As we all know, other courts around the world have ruled otherwise. On the ruling, Samsung gave the boilerplate: "We continue to believe that Apple was not the first to design a tablet with a rectangular shape and rounded corners." A California court ruled this summer that Samsung owes $1 billion to Apple. Additionally, some of Samsung's devices could be in jeopardy from being on the market.
Today's ruling in Europe prohibits any other legal course regarding tablets and the iPad specifically. While the Court of Appeal denied Apple's appeal today, the company can still appeal with the Supreme Court. The global legal battle is far form over, as it continues in roughly a dozen countries, with more trials scheduled for 2014. Read more
Apple vs. Samsung: Opening Statements in the (Patent) trial of the century
Apple and Samsung appeared in a San Jose federal court today, where U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh presides, to give opening statements starting at 9 a.m. PST.
Apple filed the first suit in this monumental case in April 2011. The Cupertino, Calif.-based company claimed Samsung infringed its patents by "slavishly copying" its iPhone. Samsung, a South Korea-based Company, promptly countersued.
This is one of the important cases to go to trial among a slew of other litigations on smartphone patents. If Apple wins, Samsung could suffer a financial blow and the ability to sell its infringing products in a large market. If Apple loses, its "thermonuclear war" against Android smartphone manufacturers could essentially wither away as Samsung collects royalty fees.
This morning's most notable highlights are below (continually updated).
Apple makes as much profit on one iPhone as it does on two iPads
A quick Reuters report on an unsealed document in the Apple-Samsung trial reveals that iPhones are much more of a profit driver for Apple than its iPads. To the tune of double (!) per unit.
Apple Inc earned gross margins of 49 to 58 percent for U.S. iPhone sales between April 2010 and the end of March 2012…Apple had gross margins of 23 to 32 percent on U.S. iPad sales, the filing said.
That means Apple makes as much money on one iPhone as it does on two iPads (considering they cost roughly the same amount).

Report: Apple to sell 30-pin adapter for new iPhone's smaller 19-pin dock connector
According to a report from iMore's Rene Ritchie, Apple plans to release an adapter alongside the new iPhone that will allow users to connect accessories using the old 30-pin dock connector to the device's new 19-pin connector:
iMore reached out to the original sources that gave us the new Dock connector story way back in February just to make doubly sure — and yes, there will be an adapter for the iPhone 5's smaller Dock connector that will let it work with many of the accessories designed for the old 30-pin Dock connector.
The report noted there is no word on whether Apple plans to include the adapter in the box with the new iPhone or make it a separate purchase. Earlier today, a report from Reuters backed up the rumors and earlier reports that Apple plans to include the smaller, 19-pin dock connector on the new iPhone expected to launch in October. iMore originally reported the new iPhone would include the smaller connector in February, and several reports since followed up with similar predictions.
In May, we posted images of the next-gen iPhone's metal back (above) that clearly show the smaller connector.

Photo credit: jeffcutler Buchholz's name has been all over the news to start the 2013 season. Buchholz leads all major league starters in ERA (1.01), and he's Top-15 in WHIP (0.96). Most impressive though, has been his strikeout rate at 27%. He currently has 47 strikeouts in just under 45 innings pitched. Is that strikeout rate legit? Well, recently Blue Jays radio/TV guys Dirk Hayhurst and Jack Morris (both former pitchers), have accused Clay Buchholz of throwing a "spitter" – an illegal version of a change-up that involves doctored and changed baseballs or use of substances on the fingers in order to give the ball more break.
