Teen accused of threatening to kill people at school
PHOENIX -- Authorities say a 16-year-old girl from Mesa was arrested Thursday after she posted a threat on YouTube that she had a plan to kill people at her high school and then commit suicide.
The girl told deputies she planned to "cut the wires to security carts" to slow down response and was planning to shoot people from behind a fence.
The Maricopa County Sheriff Office says the girl had access to guns at her home, but never brought firearms to Red Mountain High School in Mesa.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio found eerie and what he referred to as "bizarre parallels" to the Connecticut massacre.
"The possible mental problems as cited by the parents, same number of weapons as in Connecticut, a high school, the access this 16-year-old had, the premeditation. It's awful," Arpaio said.
Deputies found a semi-automatic .40 caliber handgun, a .357 revolver and a .22 revolver in the house. The guns had trigger locks and were kept in a gun safe. They were not seized.
The agency says investigators arrested the girl at her home Thursday morning and that she admitted to posting the threat.
The girl's parents said their daughter had mental issues and was being seen by a psychiatrist.
Arpaio said this was not an attempt at a copy-cat crime, as the unnamed teen planned the attack approximately a week before the deadly shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary.
"We're going to continue to get all the details of what was in her mind and other facts regarding the circumstances that came to our attention," Arpaio said.
Red Mountain High School was in session Thursday. The school said it plans to have additional security on campus Friday, the final day of the semester.
Investigators in Arizona say they received a tip about the girl from Canadian police.
The girl was booked on charges of computer tampering and threatening and intimidating.

Midwest Living Recommends
This store within a store overflows year-round with enough tinsel, trees, baubles and candy canes to satisfy the most ardent holiday fan.
Visiting The Christmas Room is like walking smack into a holiday. It occupies a snug series of rooms inside the Amana General Store (a fairly typical gift shop), and the close quarters and abundance of merchandise makes it feel like walking through a wonderland of color and lights. Decorated trees share space with bins of gingerbread men and garlands of imitation icicles. Shelves of mittens and wreaths compete for attention with clusters of ceramic snowmen, Nativity sets and evergreen-scented candles. If you like holiday decor, it might be hard to drag yourself away from this festival of all things Christmas.

Hometown Scholars
Do you …
Want to help improve the health of your community? Desire to work in your community's health center as a physician?
If you answered "yes," then Hometown Scholars may be for you!
ATSU-SOMA was started in response to a request from, and in partnership with, the nation's healthcare safety net of community health centers (CHCs). The purpose of Hometown Scholars is to help the innovative medical school meet the needs of CHCs by attracting and training dedicated, motivated, and qualified community-minded physicians. This information is designed to help you explore how you might become a Hometown Scholars endorsed applicant.
Hometown Scholars applicants are those who have
- Located a CHC to stay involved with
- Developed relationships with CHC staff and leadership
- Learned about the working environment of a CHC
- Gained valuable volunteer or work experience
- Gained ATSU-SOMA application endorsement from a CHC leader
A Hometown Scholars endorsement lets the medical school know which applicants CHCs believe could become the compassionate community-minded healers they would like to employ. If you are interested in seeking a Hometown Scholars endorsement, visit the Bureau of Primary Health Care web page to identify a CHC to connect with as a volunteer or employee. In this way, you can learn about that health center's approach for improving community health, develop health center relationships, and hopefully, gain the endorsement from that CHC.
A CHC leader can advocate for your acceptance into the medical school by sending a Hometown Scholars endorsement letter to Gary Cloud, PhD (address below). Hometown Scholars letters of endorsement do not replace the regular application process. Hometown Scholars endorsement letters parallel the regular application process – a process that requires its own letters of support.
What is a CHC?
CHC mission
To promote the provision of high-quality, comprehensive healthcare that is accessible, coordinated, culturally and linguistically competent, and community directed for all underserved populations.

The Story of Vacheron Constantin 1755 | A Tradition is Born In the middle of the 18th Century, in the city of Geneva, a young man called Jean-Marc Vacheron decided to open his own watch-making workshop. This exceptional craftsman founded a business that was to become, two and a half centuries later, one of the most renowned in the science of time. 1770 | First Complication Watches 15 years after its foundation, Vacheron Constantin creates its first 'complication' watches. 1779 | Production of Engine-turned Dials First appearance of engine-turned dials at Vacheron Constantin. 1810 | The Grandson The grandson of Jean-Marc Vacheron, Jaques-Barth�lemy, takes the head of the family business and initiates the brand's first exports to France and Italy. 1812 | First Quarter-repeater Watches Creation of a collection of watches of six quarter-repeater watches. These watches strike the hours and the quarters upon request. 1819 | The Year of the Motto Jaques-Barth�lemy, grandson of Jean-Marc Vacheron together with Fran�ois Constantin creates the company name "Vacheron et Constantin". In this year on 5th July, Fran�ois Constantin sends from Turin a letter to Jaques Barth�l�my Vacheron containing the words that were to become the company motto: "Do better if possible and that is always possible". 1839 | A New Era in Manufacturing Georges-Auguste Leschot is taken on as production engineer in 1839 and proceeds to revolutionize watch-making techniques by adapting the pantograph to the requirements of his industry. With the use of that instrument, certain watch components can be copied repeatedly by a machine, and no longer need to be hand-made as before, thus propelling Vacheron Constantin to the forefront of the industrial age. 1872 | First Contest, First Prizes When the very demanding Geneva Observatory staged a precision contest for timepieces in 1872, Vacheron Constantin entered a number of its watches. The awards won proved to be the first in a long line of awards, records and prizes received. 1880 | Appearance of the "Maltese Cross" Logo Appearance of the "Maltese Cross" symbol in the logo of Vacheron Constantin. This motif is taken from the shape of a component of the movement fixed to the barrel. Its use means that the number of wheels can be kept low. 1896 | A Medal and a Distinction At the Swiss National Exhibition held in Geneva in 1896, a prestigious gold medal was awarded to Vacheron Constantin in recognition of a range of outstanding achievements. 1906 | First Boutique Opens Inauguration of the very first Vacheron Constantin boutique, which is still in the same place today in Quai de l'Ile, in Geneva. 1935 | Complexity Creation of one of the most complex pocket-watches ever sold by Vacheron Constantin. This masterpiece, commissioned by King Farouk of Egypt, takes five years to make. 1955 Record Thin Timepiece Precisely two hundred years after is foundation, Vacheron Constantin demonstrated that it had lost none of its creative verve and technical ingenuity. To mark the start of its third century of existence, the company's master watchmakers designed and built nothing less than one of the thinnest watches ever produced with a calibre only 1.64 mm deep! Watches Presented to PresidentsIn this year, the Big Four Summit Conference brings together in Geneva the heads of state N. A. Bulganin, Sir Anthony Eden, Dwight D. Eisenhower and Edgar Faure. At the request of some prominent Genevan citizens, Vacheron Constantin creates four wrist-watches as gifts to the Conference participants. 1972 | International Recognition Vacheron Constantin presents a wristwatch with an astonishingly novel appearance, featuring an extremely daring design for the period. Paris awards the rare and highly coveted "Dipl�me du Prestige de la France" for this aesthetic accomplishment. 1994 | In Salute to a Scholar Gerhard Kremer (1512-1594), known as Mercator, was highly regarded as a mathematician and geographer due to his invention of the first navigational maps. Vacheron Constantin saluted the 400th anniversary of his death with the very limited production of a pair of watch designs. Their hand-enameled dial featured Mercator's own maps of the hemispheres as well as a pair of compass-like watch hands invented and built specially for these timepieces . 1996 | Overseas Vacheron Constantin introduced its highly successful Overseas sports line. The Richemont group acquired the entire share capital of Vacheron Constantin. 2003 | Eg�rie The Manufacture launches 'Eg�rie', Vacheron Constantin's first collection for women. 2004 | Opening of New Headquarters The new headquarters and Manufacture Vacheron Constantin, located in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva - in the aptly-named chemin du Tourbillon. Renovation of the historical headquarters of the brand: "Vacheron Constantin House", containing an exclusive boutique, a patrimonial space and the workshop of the master watchmakers, dedicated to the various crafts of the watchmaker's art. 2005 250 Years of Uninterrupted History Vacheron Constantin, the oldest watchmakers in the world in continuous activity since it was founded in 1755, prepares to celebrate its 250 years of existence and creates the Tour de l'Ile watch. It is the most complicated double-faced wristwatch in the world, with a unique combination of 16 complications and astronomical dials. Its exceptional calibre of 834 components involves Vacheron Constantin's designers, engineers, constructors and watchmakers in more than 10,000 hours of research and development. It bears the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva. Seven of these timepieces are produced. A World First The Saint Gervais brings together a permanent calendar, a tourbillon and more than 10 days of power reserve in the same timepiece. Vacheron Constantin's new 2250 calibre assembles a permanent calendar, which with its four barrels extends the power reserve to 250 hours, coupled with a tourbillon mechanism and a permanent calendar. It bears the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva. Fifty-five of these timepieces are produced. 2006 | 100 Years of the Boutique The very first Vacheron Constantin boutique celebrates its 100th anniversary. Inaugurated in 1906, it is still located "en l'Ile", the brand's historic birthplace at the heart of Geneva, in the very same building that once housed the company's production workshops.

Highlands Ranch Lifestyle Lift reviews
56% of Highlands Ranch reviewers said Lifestyle Lift was worth it
"62 and in Love with my Lifestyle Lift"
I also had the CO2 lasering done which was $3,000 of the $9,900 My skin was sagging under my chin and I was getting jowel-ly. I also had a lot of sun damage from so much exposure to my skin over the years. I couldn't be happier with the results. I received wonderful care and was fully informed every step of the way. I did my research ahead of time and knew which doctor I wanted. They are... more
"You Deserve It! - Denver, CO"
At the age of 66 I did not like looking in the mirror. I did not know that woman looking back at me. Today, I see my true reflection and I am thrilled. I look like the healthy, vibrant and positively happy person I know myself to be. Do not hesitate to take the opportunity to see yourself as the image you hold in your mind. You are worth it! You deserve to make a difference in your own... more
"A Look Worth a Million - Denver, CO"
The operation was good, next two days were a pain, after that it was ok. Everyone in the clinic were great on every thing. There was one thing I should tell you-two weeks after the operation my twin brother ask me "what do you do to your face?" I said nothing. He said I know" you shaved your stash off and died your hair" He couldn`t tell what I had done but new I had done something and said... more
"Two Sides Don't Match - Denver, CO"
After a divorce and the death of my Mother and feeling like the sky had fallen on my I saw the ad and checked into LSL with Dr. Shah. The shots were really painful - the person waiting for me heard me cry out more than once - but then I was numb and it seemed the procedure went okay. He didn't seem to take as long on the left side as on the right but it got done and I went home. After a... more
The day I decided to have the Lifestyle Lift performed by Dr. Shah, was the very best day of my entire life! I look as young as I feel now, I am no longer disappointed when I look in the mirror. The investment I made in myself has paid me back triple fold with my new found confidence. Thank you Dr. Shah! more
"Pictures of my Procedure on June..."
I had to be at the center at 5:00 the day of the procedure at which time the assistant met my husband and me at the door. My procedure went very smooth. I was awake the whole time and could hear everything the Dr. and assistant were saying. I did not have any pain during the procedure. I took one pain pill after the procedure and got sick so after that I took Extra Strength Tylenol and... more
"Everything I Expect to Date -..."
Denver LifeStyle Lift Center (I will include pictures) Susie, the consultant, told me that pineapple and spinach were two items I should start eating daily. I do not like spinach but I bought canned pineapple and regular pineapple that I plan on making pineapple, banana smoothies twice daily. I should stop taking most of the vitamins I have been taking, flaxseed, fish oil, vitamin E, and all... more
I went to Lifestyle lift for a procedure to tighten the skin under my chin which went from my chin to the lower portion of my neck. I also had many wrinkles under there and jowls. I had my procedure in April 2011 in Denver. I don't remember the doctors name but she had long blond hair. The procedure was terrible, one of the worst expieriences of my life. It was done under a local instead... more
"Absolutely Thumbs Up! - Denver, CO"
I decided to get a facelift after seeing photos from my 40th HS reunion. Lifestyle in Denver offered an additional discount on the procedure because I took an appointment time that had been cancelled by another client. I love a bargain! I look easily ten years younger. Everyone has noticed how much better I look. One thing: nothing any provider tells you will prepare you for the swelling... more
"Not Quite Satisfied - Denver, CO"
Healing time & process was what I expected since I had had some plastic surgery in my 20's. Tightening of the facial and chin line muscles worked and helped to decrease "marionette lines" and reveal a lost chin line. However, I was left with loose, deeply wrinkled skin under the chin, marks from the liposuction on my cheeks, and ringing in my ears. I was a bit... more
"Such an Improvement! - Denver, CO"
I had my Lifestyle Lift in December 2010, and I am so glad I did! I had a turkey neck and the skin on my face was loose due to weight loss. Every time I looked in the mirror, all I could see was that turkey neck staring back at me along loose wrinkled skin on my face! My husband is actually the one who saw the advertisement for Lifestyle Lift on television. My initial consultation was... more
"Neck / Face Tightening, Eyelid..."
As a Nurse Practitioner seeing patients daily, I've seen the results of many types of procedures. One patient introduced me to the concept of Lifestyle Lift. I had done her preop physical due to hypertension-related concerns. I decided to call Lifestyle Lift and had my procedures the same week I had seen them.I am 6 weeks out from having neck and face tighten more
"Not What I Expected With Lifestyle Lift"
My wife had the lifestyle lift proceedure done 6 weeks ago and from day one has had nothing but pain, suffering, and a feeling of emptyness. After reading some of the comments on this web site I only wish we had read them before deciding to have the proceedure done. It is not reassuring at all to find other women having the same complications.My wife trusted the Lifestyle Lift doctors and... more
"Dissatisfied in Denver - LSL Fiasco"
I had wanted to have a facelift for some time. I went to several consultations and finally decided on LSL. I wish I had known about realself prior to my surgery. I decided on a lower facelift, chin lipo and upper and lower eyelids.My procedure was scheduled for noon on 1-16-09. I arrived and was taken to the room. The technician took my blood pressure. She was concerned because it was... more
"LSL Procedure Left Me with Arterial..."
I was discharged about 5pm after the surgery. Felt okay. Within 4 to 5 hours my face had swollen to 3X it's normal size, the pain was excruciating and I had projectile vomiting in spite of the phenergan suppositories. I finally called the doctor about 10:30pm, reached her answering service. The doctor called me back close to 11pm. I said (I am a nurse BTW) "my face is 2 to 3X it's normal... more
My experience with LL was totally traumatic. I was in mid-surgery, and wanted to yell, STOP--something just didn't seem right, but the surgeon had already started cutting. I did not find out until MONTHS AFTER surgery that I had a surgeon who was just LEARNING, and I had only consented to having a board-certified surgeon, so I was flat-out lied to. During my follow-up, which was negligent,... more
Had the Lifestyle Lift in Denver over one year ago in 2007. Although I had an improvement and the procedure was tolerable (recovery longer than expected) I now have permanent horrible puckering and scars behind my ears -and a scar that extends below my earlobe into my neck area. Also have some numbness, asymmetry, and occasional pain in one ear. The company won't refund any money. My... more
"Good at First, but After 6 Mo Began..."
At first I was praising LSL because the results were so good. After 6 mo I started seeing sagging in my neck again. My eyes still look good, but now after a year (11/29/06 was my procedure date) I am trying to hide my neck again. I have sagging, wrinkly skin, not as bad as when I had the procedure but I am very dissatisfied! I guess I had one of the better doctors but for the ordeal I... more

A week after quelling its offensive struggles, the Wando football team allowed 40 points to Colleton County on Thursday night in a 40-37 loss.
The win snapped a 36-game losing streak for Colleton County, and the loss for the Warriors (2-2) means an 0-2 record away from Wando Stadium.
After trailing 20-7 at halftime, Wando scored 30 points in the second half. The Cougars scored on a 54-yard interception return with about two minutes left in the game to take a 10-point lead. Sophomore quarterback Bailey Hart quickly tried to make amends, though, with a 34-yard touchdown pass to Zola Davis. Colleton County (1-2) held on after the Warriors could not recover an onside kick attempt.
Wando's only score in the first half came on a fumble recovery in the end zone by defensive back Chance Price off a bad punt snap. Junior running back Kenny Waring, who ran for 250 yards in the previous game, racked up 113 and a touchdown. His scoring play came early in the fourth quarter to give the Warriors a 30-26 lead.
But, the steady play of Colleton County quarter Ramon Hall was too much. Hall threw a 15-yard touchdown pass after Waring's scoring play on the ensuing possession to retake the lead. Hall threw for three touchdowns and ran in another. The Cougars put the game out of reach with the interception return on Wando's next offensive series.
Wando hosts Summerville, Sept. 20. Colleton County looks to start a winning streak with a road contest at West Ashley, Sept. 20.

Liquid Assets: The Story of Our Water Infrastructure
Liquid Assets, a ninety-minute documentary, tells the story of essential infrastructure systems: water, wastewater, and stormwater. These systems some in the ground for more than 100 years provide a critical public health function and are essential for economic development and growth. Largely out of sight and out of mind, these aging systems have not been maintained, and some estimates suggest this is the single largest public works endeavor in our nation's history.

How flat is too flat: Where do you want to see the future of iOS design? [Poll]
There've been a lot of rumors lately about how Jony Ive, now in charge of all human interface across Apple, may be reducing or eliminating the use of heavier textures, gradients, skeuomorphs, and other rich visual elements in iOS 7. Everything from buttons to icons, tabs to panels, bars to skins seems ripe for a subtler, flatter, more digitally authentic refresh. But what does that mean exactly?
For some, "flatter" could just mean taking things down a notch -- less severe gradients, lighter shadows, shallower bezels, fainter textures, and an overall refinement of what's already there. For others, "flatter" means scorched earth -- no gradients, no shadows, no bezels, no textures, and an utter obliteration of all that was.
Truth is often in the eye of the beholder, and somewhere in between the extremes. But it does prompt the question: how flat would you like to see iOS 7? Vote in the poll up top and let me know the details, and the reasons for them, in the comments below!

How flat is too flat: Where do you want to see the future of iOS design? [Poll]
I trust Apple, apple can never do wrong.. I'm happy with whatever sir jony Ive gives
I love Apple, too. But never is a bit strong.
It's called the Pippin.
I do not feel that there is a lot of "depth". There are some shadowing effects but not to any extreme. I am okay with removing some of the style elements (in the game app) but I like others, for example the leather. I was hoping the human interface changes would be in the way we interact with the phone not just how it looks. I would like the option of using a completely gesture based interface (I.e.: like BB10 or the iPad- other than to turn it on I rarely use the home button on the iPad). I do not like being dependent on the home button (mechanical button will fail). Also, I would like to see Apple combine apps rather than fragment. For example, I would like to see the calendar, contacts and email go into one app with a simple way of moving between these functions. Also, combine iMessage and FaceTime (they should have bees together from the start (remember iChat). So to summarize, rather than a flat look as being the next big change I would like a new way to interact with the phone and I think the future is completely gesture based.
^ this is good stuff ^
I'm sorry but I think people are going way overboard on all of this. Yes I think iOS will lose the kitsch and the fugly but I don't think it's turning into Windows 8. Look at the changes made to the podcast app. That's not Windows 8. My guess is the new iOS design will look a lot like some of the great iOS apps. Notes app won't look like a legal pad with that awful felt tip font. Messages app won't have the cartoonish bubbles. Game Center will lose the green felt and casino feel.
I wish people would stop assuming a flatter design equals Windows 8. Microsoft didn't invent the "flat" design style and there's more than one way to implement it.
You nailed it. Shading, texture, and color are all perfectly OK IMHO. But re-creating a reel-to-reel tape deck is a waste of time and effort. Many Podcasts users have never even seen a tape deck in real life and even fewer have ever operated one. Illogical to use a tape deck metaphor. Skeuomorphism at its worst.
And not that functional and i have pretty thin but long big fingers (well big for my size). I actually remember my parents showing reel to reel tapes to us as a boy.
Regardless i think the textures are a positive. I think the gradients are great. The glass effects like the password lock screen are really sexy. I also don't think it looks dated for the most part.
In fact windows changed for change sake and Windows 8 is selling horribly.
Looking at how it's selling is meaningless. The fact of the matter is no matter how Windows 8 is selling, it's badly designed with its lack of finess and its sea of hidden "guess-what-to-do" controls.
Skeuomorphism has reached the end of its first phase (2007 - 2012), where it has been particularly full-on and garish (e.g. Game Centre, Podcasts). You've got to admit, it was a daring, exuberant breath of fresh air that cleverly masked the complexity of the newfangled smartphone and won over many Luddites frightened away by the overly complicated handsets of the period with their deep-nested menus and cryptic icons.
Skeuomorphism is invaluable, even indispensable in many UI situations, helping make sense to humans using non-human devices to perform real-world tasks (apps for Digital Audio Workstations, Synthesizers, Maps and Aeronautical Charts come to mind as examples). In short it is a humanising feature.
For shading, colours and textures however, it was always going to be an optional fashion statement with a limited shelf life.
Now, a more subtle sense of aesthetics is creeping into it and toning it down tastefully, not eliminating it altogether as some "skeuomorphobes" are braying for.
To be fair. There are several other postings on this site that refer to flattening and windows 8
"9to5Mac's ace reporter, Mark Gurman, calls it WINDOWS PHONE-LIKE" http://www.imore.com/jony-ive-once-again-rumored-be-painting-kinder-flat...
I think iOS definitely needs an overhaul, but going too flat might be a bit off putting for longtime users like myself. What I think would be better would be a subtle change (i.e., removing all the shiny accents but not going quite as far as Metro).
That, coupled with a color scheme change (they've been using that same blue/gray scheme forever) might be visually interesting enough to tide people over for a while.
I hope it is not a going in the direction of Metro. iOS is currently very well designed. It is the reason I use it. I still find Android haphazardly done, Window Phone is too simple, there is now app centric feeling. BBOS is ok, as in many ways it is sort of like iOS. So refine, go modern. But as a commenter mentioned, I trust Ive, my MacBook Air will look good now, and 6 years down the line. My iPhone 4s still looks fantastic. I am sure he can make iOS and OSX look great.
Windows phone isn't too simple, it's badly designed. When all of the icons update and change it becomes confusing, the opposite of elegant and simple, and difficult to tell which app is which and so forth. Windows phone is good in theory, but not in reality. And frankly, I always found it ugly. And on Windows 8 they hid everything, making it truly complex. It looks plain, therefore it must be simple, right? Wrong. It's not simple, because you have to learn where all the hidden things are, you have to remember them, and you have to tap or swipe to bring the up. People are panicking right now about all this flat talk, but my gut tells me it will just be Jony cleaning everything up more than starting completely from scratch. A new batch of system icons and new toolbar and button designs doesn't mean a drastic new UI.
Everyone needs to chill, Jony has to use the iPhone too.
The only app that looks completely horrible is find my friends...I actually preferred the podcast app with the tape running in the back. However, I don't like the blue menu bars of safari and settings, thats where they could improve as they are boring now.
making it like Androids flat or Windows UI wouldn't be good to me.
I hate the blue/grey theme in the OS and Safari as well. I run all my mobile Safari's in "private browsing" mode simply to get the black/grey UI instead. I don't care about my privacy at all, I just can't stand that crappy blue UI.
It's not as bad as "Microsoft Blue," but IMO user interfaces should be as close to colourless as possible. Especially bars, buttons, etc.
Personally I like leather and a bit of playfulness, but as long as it doesn't end up looking as cheap and ugly as Google's "flat" iPhone apps a bit of a facelift should be OK.
WTF! Lol. There's always one,
Broke is one thing, but having an easier way to adjust brightness and Bluetooth and having a cleaner, more consistent UI that isn't trying to look like faux felt/leather or a tape reel is another matter.
iOS broke new ground when it first launched in 2007, but 6 years on, now is the time to clean it all up to make it more consistent, fictional, clean and modern. We're not talking about going back to the drawing board, we're talking a clean up for design, UI and UX reasons. And Jony's the man to do it.
I personally think that its time of iOS to change up a bit. I trust Jony Ive as we have come to love the products that he has designed for quite some time now. The man is amazing and very creative. I could care less about what the OS looks like because as long as I've been an Apple fan, I know that Apple is gonna tweak every aspect of their products (less iOS 6 Maps, lol) before releasing it to the public. On one hand, people have been clamoring and chopping at the bit for Apple to update the unrefreshed iOS look since its debut, but then hearing that the so-call "flatness," of Windows Metro-styled look has seem to sent people into panic mode. If you trust in Apple and the mastermind of Jony Ive, then I say just be happy and welcomed that change is on the way and wait till it's released before passing judgement. The glassy, glossy, gradient look is kinda played out, and change may be good.
I'm actually a bit worried that Jony Ive has gone too far in regards what I've heard about iOS 7. A lot of iOS is 'layers' for example where one thing slides away to reveal a background (usually with the linen texture) underneath. To remove that would be to change the entire metaphor for the OS. There are also as many apps that benefit strongly from skeuomorphism as there are apps that are hindered by it.
How does the skeuomorphism of the camera shutter hinder anythign for example? And how ugly and less intuitive would it be without it. Photobooth is another app that strongly benefits from the skeuomorphic design it uses and another case where removing it would make the app less than what it is today. For every monstrosity like the iBooks interface or Contacts, there are many examples of skeuomorphism that are beautiful and useful.
Word has also leaked that the icons are being redesigned in a "flat" manner also which would be a reversal of the entire history of Apple Icons and will make iOS the opposite of OS X with it's rich icons.
In short, there are many skeuomorphic elements to the current design that are ugly and a hinderance to use and should be removed, but to make the entire UI "flat" in an unrelenting and cohesive way is a horrible mistake IMO.
They'll keep the camera shutter as it serves a very unique and valid purpose.
You consider iBooks a monstrosity?
Word hasn't leaked that the icons are being designed in a flat manner. That's the toolbars. The system icons are being redesigned to reflect the redesigned apps contained within them.
Well, its good for a refresh but apple should keep in mind the iOS dedicated users...to my opinion, apple should give us two UIs..when an iOS device is turned on, de user can select a UI, one being apple native and the other being the tweakable UI where the shape, size, colour, behaviour, and even the icon picture can be changed individually without affecting other icons, in fact make it so teakable that the user can tweak almost everything...this will help to retain current users and entice new users...well, as I said..."to my opinion"
You can already tweak the OS, it's called buying an Android product. Apple have the best designers in the business. Let them do their thing.
I don't care about the design other than keep it easy to use. And PLEASE give me weather on the lock screen! Or just bring the notification screen to the lock screen. Seems like a no-brainer to me.
Regarding flatness, I like flat. I love the Windows Phone look. Of course iOS shouldn't copy it, but I wouldn't mind if it took a few cues from it.
I think Win phone is ugly.
How do you know the Podcast redesign is using iOS 7 elements? Oh yeah, you don't.
While I'd welcome flat and non-skeumorphic in many cases, I think there are places for textures. Find my friends, calendar, and contacts without textures? Yes. Game center without textures? No.
I'm also a sucker for the occasional simulated tape player and such. Again, you don't want to overdue it, but I'd hate to never see anything like that.
Find my friends in leather literally makes no sense. And unless you're missing the tea leaves, those textures you love, all of them, they're gone. You might like them, but Jony Ive doesn't, and I fancy his opinion.
I like the shadowing it makes it feel like I'm really doing something I don't care if they get rid of the leather and stuff like that I think going all flat is a fad we have always wanted software to be one with the real world
I wish you guys show an example of what flat would look like. I have no clue of what you are talking about. Everyone don't understand some of this tech talk.
You'll understand when the keynote video goes live on Apple.com on June 10. https://developer.apple.com/wwdc/
Rather than listening to people round here guessing what it may look like you'll see it demoed in 6 weeks.
i see all the apple fan ppl are fine with copy now only because apple does it....they already copied andriod with the notification bar....so its gonna be a lil windows and andriod lol that is very funny to me ....watch andriods 5.0 sw come out .....and blow your minds as apple falls behide since the past 2yrs....plus andriod has 64% of the market on the world also food for thought ;)
Fact: there are thousands and thousands of apps for which skeuomorphism is an absolute must, an indispensable aid for the steep learning curve of their functionality that has been developed over decades, some even centuries.
The ledger lines of music creation and tablature apps, the editor windows of Digital Audio Workstations, Audio Mastering and Synthesizer sound creation apps, Maps and Charts of Mapping apps, Star Charts of Astronomy apps, the list is long and vast, long and vast...
The hysterical reaction to the (truly ugly) Games Center and Find My Friends app has given fools and rabid enemies of Apple (and the peerless Scott Forstall, the buckles of whose sandals they are unworthy to fasten) plenty of cannon fodder for their blunderbuss-firing.
Horses for courses, that's what I say. But yes, I too believe that Ive will show in software livery what he's done so masterfully in hardware.

Style: Judo--
I'm not sure if this is helpful or not, but I thought I would add some personal experiences.
When I started University, I did a short course at the local TAFE, Hospitality, certificate 2. Took 10 weeks, 3 nights a week. Also covered tickets in Responsible Service of Alcohol (required to serve alcohol), Responsible Service of Gaming (due to many pubs and clubs offering gaming) and basic first aid.
While working part time at a bar, I was offered Cert 2 in Security operations (crowd control) as part of in-house training. An accredited instructor turned up and after 4 days training I had my certification and could then apply for a licence. The licence required a mandatory police background check, so 3 weeks after I had finished the training, I was still working as a bar attendant and glassie, with a slight pay increase because I was also recognised as a 'licenced crowd controller.' In my time working there, I had to hold open the door for the real bouncers twice.
Now I could claim that I was a licenced bouncer and spent a year and half working at a particular club. That is a lie, maybe a half truth.
What you just said is not a lie nor is it a half truth.
Were you licensed security? Yes.
Were you employed at a Bar/Club with this licensing for a year and a half? Yes.
Were you certified as crowd control? Yes.
In many cases does security=Bouncer? Yes
So:Now I could claim that I was a licenced bouncer and spent a year and half working at a particular club.
Were you experienced as a bouncer after a year and a half? No.
Word games.
Resume padding, is it acceptable? Again word games to create a favourable impression is right up there in the ethics and integrity debate depending upon the severity of the padding. A good but simple example of this is the use of the term "operator".
If Holloway is a Security guard, that doesn't make him an "operator"
If Holloway is a Martial arts teacher, that doesn't make him an "operator"
If Holloway teaches tactical marksmanship, that doesn't make him an "operator"
If Holloway is trained and experienced in Civil Close Protection - that makes him an "operator"
If Holloway is trained and experienced in Military or Police Close Protection - that makes him and "operator"
If Holloway was active military (with experience of warfare) - That makes him and "operator"
See where I'm coming from ? You need actual hands on physical experience to consider yourself and "operator", and only then within particular occupational fields would one use that term anyway.
Holloway is a glorified Security Guard, all the additional bells and whistles he blows for himself are pretty incidental.
Has he ever provided armed protective services for anyone ? I doubt that, think about who typically works in that line of employment - Ex Soldiers, Police etc. Not some 20-Something guy with no verifiable military or law enforcement background.
Has he ever directly seen any form of warfare ? Nope, he's never been in the Armed Forces so, where's he drawing his tactical weapons skills from.. Courses, which he's paying $$ for. And prior to that? God only knows, what we do know is that Holloway has been video'd teaching both handgun and rifle "tactical skills" using Toy guns. And this is a guy who wants to take $300-$600 off your hands."To sin by silence when one should protest makes cowards out of men".

He is affiliated with Luke and I am assuming it was the guy Luke did his NRA training with as he offers those same course.
I am going to try and find out more about this. (From his bio page)

Came across this video on youtube, only started to watch it as the opening picture is Jeff Munson vs Cops. Surprise! It's a Luke Holloway video. Got about 30 seconds in when he proves he doesn't know what he is talking about. He says he teaches Law enforcement, Military, etc, you know "what we call active shooters" I'm sure most LEOs would take great offense at being referred to as active shooters.
Only watched the first 30 seconds or so, don't need to see anymore.

You know, my eyes have never really stopped rolling where Luke Holloway is concerned.
I mean it's not like he's got some deadly secret to share, some techniques or knowledge which.. those of us actually IN THE MILITARY, haven't seen before or already know, or have direct access too without having to pay the top dollar fees he thinks that knowledge is worth.
The guy's a Walter Mitty. Most likely **** himself the first time someone "actively" shoots at him. He's nothing more than an academic at best, and then I'm being generous."To sin by silence when one should protest makes cowards out of men".

You know, we have this little known outfit call the UKSF who provide both the British Forces (depending upon who you are) with training and, they also write the firearms tactical policy for the Armed branch of the British Police. - That's how it's normally done.
Sure we have civilian specialists who work for the MOD, and provide their skills and knowledge because they are proven specialists not some Walt with an airsoft toy in his Blackhawk paddle holster."To sin by silence when one should protest makes cowards out of men".

A recent visit to the
garden at the Berks County Campus proves to be an exciting nature lesson and a
feel for how gardening is truly therapeutic for the children who are lucky
enough to participate in the project. Clinician Fred Indenbaum proudly
displayed the 2,200 square foot garden. The 20 beds contained a variety of
crops. Root vegetables like beets, potatoes, and carrots will produce a fall
harvest, along with leafy greens, such as, spinach and lettuce. Tomatoes, spinach, green beans, and
herbs are still plentiful. Decorative gourds and pumpkins are bountiful, as are
huge sunflowers and cabbages. There is much work to be done now that the larger
student body has returned, and Fred is very busy supervising the garden, the
worms in the vermicomposting bins, and planning for next spring.
Fred plans big, and he
usually attracts donors to fund his new projects. This year, he would like to
build a greenhouse, containing a water garden with plants and fish and grow
lights that would allow the children to garden year round. "This fall we will
be very busy clearing the garden beds, planting a cover crop, collecting and
mulching leaves, beautifying the beds in front of the school, and building a
border around the garden. We also need
to clean out our birdhouse to make room for next year's residents," Fred
The Therapeutic Effect
Fred is producing some
incredible therapeutic effects through the garden and vermicomposting projects.
He works with kids from grades 1-12, in all three levels of the Berks Partial
Hospitalization program. "I design group activities to address our common
themes – learning to respect all living things and living responsibly."
For example, Fred takes
the children out to the garden to observe bees. Some children are afraid that
bees will sting them. Fred observes that the bees are very busy working to
collect food for their hive. They have no reason to sting unless the children
tried to harm them. "The garden is not a metaphor for life," Fred explains, "It
is life. The children are learning to respect others, bees and human beings, so
they can live more peacefully, more harmoniously."
According to Fred, there
are many life lessons for the children to learn in the garden. He tells the
children that the plants are providing them with gifts, and that they should
always be thankful for these gifts. "I suggest that when they harvest
vegetables, they give thanks for what the plants willingly given them." Fred
continues, "I relate garden gifts to their parents, who care for them and
willingly give them what they need.
Gratitude, love, and respect are important lessons."
Many of these children
have been abused, mistreated, or neglected to the point that they do not
respect others. Fred starts fresh with them, helping the children learn to love
and respect plants and then extend those feelings to the people in their lives.
He encourages them to care for the plants and learn to understand them. He
teaches the kids that they can communicate with all living things – plants,
pets, people. Communicating across different languages requires greater effort.
"We should embrace, not dismiss others just because they speak or look
different from us. The garden
teaches us diversity with its many textures, colors, and sizes," Fred explains.
"All of the plants are different, and they need to be, because they all
contribute to the health of the garden community."
Many of the children with
whom Fred works are low functioning, and many have significant anger management
issues. He has found that having an angry child water the garden can be very
calming and healing. He also tells them that, without water the plants will
die. "The sound of water is very
soothing. It sparkles in the
light. It pulses in their
hands. The kids also take this
task (watering) very seriously.
The plants are counting on them.
The child's job is important, which makes the child important."
Seeds are another learning
tool for Fred to teach the children about life and responsibility. "Seeds are
invigorating because they bring forth life," Fred says enthusiastically. "I
tell the children that the mother plant protects her babies by putting them
inside a hard shell called a seed.
The babies are inside the seed. The children become more protective of
the seeds as soon as they understand that they are holding babies that need
gentle care." He adds that seeds and plants do not look or talk like us, but we
are all living things and have much in common.
The Worms
The Berks County Campus
now has four bins of red worms.
Each bin is 8ft long, 4ft wide, and 1ft deep. Each contains 32 pounds of worms, which will reproduce to 64
pounds to fit their new home. The
worms are very industrious, eating half their weight every day. The children collect their food waste –
compostable tableware and uneaten food – and deliver it to a pulper that chops
it. The kids feed this mixture to
the worms and provide water as needed.
The worms turn this mixture into compost every few months. Fred explains
that the worms move to new "food" once they have digested one section of the
bin. Not only do the worms produce rich compost for the garden, but they have
also reduced the school's waste by 80%, saving the program approximately $4,000
annually in trash hauling costs.
"These bins contribute to
the community," Fred explains. "They save landfill space, which is beneficial
for the environment and helps reduce local taxes related to trash pickup. The
children are very proud of their efforts and many have adopted recycling into
their home lives."
Because President Obama is
promoting green schools, Fred and the children are eager to share their success
with him. They are inviting their local congressional representative to visit
the school, learn about the Garden Program, and deliver an invitation to the
President from the children. With the help of the art teacher, the children
completed a 10ft X 6ft painting of the President, which they intend to give
Fred's work is driven and
focused and wonderful for the children. They are learning to love and respect
nature and to see how all living things are interconnected in a larger
community of life. Most
importantly, however, the kids are healing the wounds that limit their success
and happiness.

A two-year-old Montgomery County child drowned Monday night in his family's pool.
It happened around 5:00 p.m. in New Caney. The family performed CPR until the medics arrived. After 30 minutes the child was transported to the Kingwood Hospital and was pronounced dead just before eight.
The family said the child had been playing outside on a toy tractor when he disappeared. They found him about 15 minutes later in the pool. No names have been released.

Susan Kephart: 911 for Threatened Plants
A well-intentioned hiker who wanders off the trail at Cascade Head to capture a scenic photo may unintentionally trample one of the last existing populations of the seabluff carnation, known to scientists as Silene douglasii var. oraria.
There are three remaining populations in the world--all in Oregon, where the flower is listed as "threatened." They grow precipitously along the cliffs of Cascade Head, seven miles north of Lincoln City on the Oregon coast. The spectacular headland is a Nature Conservancy preserve and United Nations Biosphere Reserve.
Scientists hope to restore threatened plants in the Pacific Northwest. They have reintroduced native plant species and helped repopulate vulnerable areas for years, but Willamette University Professor Susan Kephart is trying a new tack. Instead of planting annuals, the quick and easy way to repopulate coastal prairies, she coordinated the planting of nearly 1,000 perennial seeds and seedlings by students, local citizens and Earthwatch volunteers.
Her restoration and research findings were featured as the October cover story in The American Journal of Botany and have generated inquiries from around the world.
Kephart and Willamette student Diana Lofflin posed several critical questions: Can we successfully reintroduce rare plants? Do plants with a more diverse genetic background have higher survival rates than inbred plants? How can we best restore native populations?
"We found that continued inbreeding within a closely related group of plants is linked to poor seedling survival and affects the viability of future generations," Kephart said.
Willamette University students and Earthwatch Institute volunteers from around the world helped Kephart and Lofflin compare seedling establishment of the rare coastal plant with its more widespread relatives in the Cascade Mountains.
The seabluff carnation is one of many species scattered across fragmented habitats in isolated, at-risk plant communities, and may be losing the genetic diversity that would help it cope with future threats. It is affected by coastal development, trampling, damage from seed predators and browsing deer. Climate change may pose another yet-unstudied threat.
The good news is that Kephart's research shows that it is possible to reintroduce rare plants, even on grazed areas.
"But the plants with a more diverse genetic background have a better chance of survival than inbred progeny," Kephart said. "It's the same idea as not marrying your cousin. Lethal genes in a family lineage can hide in individuals, but they can come together in offspring, leading to stunting or death."
Kephart's research shows that inbred offspring are, in fact, stunted and have yellowed leaves, while outbred plants are larger and put forth more abundant flowers.
She has studied native plant populations at Cascade Head for more than 20 years; the current reintroduction project began in 1998.
Kephart and her students would like to see self-sustaining seabluff carnation populations restored to their historical habitat, along with continued protection of native grasslands.
"Oregon's headlands were once mostly native flower prairies," Kephart said. "Although reintroduction is a relatively recent and potentially important restoration tool, its benefits are still uncertain since much research remains to be done."

I am always on hyper-alert for my pregnant friends, if they mention any symptoms that sound remotely like pre-e. Being no medical professional though, I don't always know what I'm talking about .
Anyway, my friend is roughly 34w with her first baby, and has said that in the last week she has gained a pound per day.
I don't know what she has gained so far, total, but by looks she seems to be in a normal weight-gaining pregnancy (to this point). I told her that it sounded a bit rapid, and to please call her midwife. Never any harm in making that call, ya know?
But is weight gain like that typical in non-pre-e situations? Can that happen in perfectly normal pregnancies? Some random 3rd trimester growth spurt?
I hate to be alarmist and needlessly scare a first-time mom who just wants a nice, peaceful homebirth. But still. Pre-e is a JERK. A quiet one, at that.

Thursday, October 11, 2012
. . .so Board Chairman Bill Everett referred to Marlena Myers as he called for a round of applause for the Scrumptious Kitchen Tours guiding light at the celebration of its first decade. The occasion was last Saturday nights Sponsors Gala and Auction at Bud and Peggy Knights Party Barn, benefiting the Dorchester Childrens Center.
Noting that he expected Marlena to be good for another 10 years, Bill went on to present the premier accolade of the evening, the Bert Cicenia Award, to Ralph Phillips. Bill said Ralph raised between $150,000 and $180,000 over the years, making him responsible for 10 percent of the fundraising budget. This caused Bill to quip that, Ralphs wife Kay, (Children in Crisis executive director), told me that Ralphs friends cross the street when they see him coming!
More applause. More laughter. More fun and more fund raising via the silent and live auctions, ably conducted by Master of Ceremonies, Al Bradham, became the order of the evening. Fund Development Director Bob Ingram said there were over 300 Gala guests and the auctions were very successful with some folks getting some real bargains. Jim Hamilton, who with his wife Lisa, had their home on tour the next day, said that the event really brought the community together. He then joined in the witty gaiety by commenting that he cant wait until next years Kitchen Tour, especially with it being in someone elses house!
Bob said that all the chefs from both the Gala and the next days Kitchen Tour have already asked to come back next year. What good news for local epicures who really appreciate things such as Pimento cheese Biscuits and Prosciutto, and Sweet Potato & Goat Cheese Ravioli with Sage Brown Butter; Fried Cinnamon Pasta with Fresh Ricotta & Berries.
That ravioli was absolutely delicious, said guest Susan Bohm, who with her husband Frank attended their first Gala. The food was splendid, agreed Frank, and the servers and chefs more than accommodating in telling us about the food adding to the pleasure. It was just very nicely put together.
Susan said it was wonderful to see people elegantly clad for the occasion. Most times nowadays you go out and its so casual, maybe a pair of dress slacks, but Saturday night was a feast for the eyes as well, she said. The men looked so handsome and it was such fun seeing all the cocktail fashions the ladies wore! This years theme was Fire & Ice and attendees were encouraged to wear red or blue to add to the festivities. All those delightful styles also looked natty on the dance floor as guests enjoyed the mellow tunes and tones of Robert Pratt and his Palmetto Dance Band.
Marlena said earlier this week that it was a tremendous success because the efforts of everyone came together to make it all happen: the Golf Tournament, the Gala, the Kitchen Tour, and the weather it just couldnt have been better.
The old childrens tale of that too-little blue engine repeating its motto of I-think-I-can and successfully pulling the too-long train over the too-high mountain teaches the value of optimism and hard work to adults alike.
Perhaps its updated title should now be The Little Engine That Did!

Employees: Obama donor in process of buying up and destroying Americas top pro-gun media outlets
Employees of Obama donor Leo Hindery Jr.s media conglomerate Intermedia Partners, which now owns most of the top gun-culture media outlets in the country, believe that Hindery plans to gut and destroy all of them as part of a business plan that has already led to numerous layoffs and the virtual shuttering of prominent television production facilities in Minnesota and Montana.
Hindery, who was in consideration to be President Barack Obamas secretary of commerce, is managing partner of Intermedia Partners. The New York-based media private equity fund owns Intermedia Outdoor Holdings, which publishes 17 hunting, fishing, and shooting magazines, including Guns & Ammo, Handguns, Gun Dog, Rifle Shooter and Shooting Times.
InterMedia Outdoor Holdings purchased the pro-gun hunting and fishing network the Sportsman Channel in 2007, and is now in the process of acquiring the Outdoor Channel, pending the federal governments approval of last months merger between InterMedia Outdoors and Outdoor Channel Holdings.
InterMedia employees believe that Hindery, a Huffington Post blogger who has contributed to numerous Democratic politicians including Andrew Cuomo and Elizabeth Warren, is in the process of consolidating all of Americas leading gun-culture media outlets and stripping them down to virtual destruction.

Black Blade: The rest of the article describes how several studios and offices are being systematically closed. It appears that we are under attack from all sides of the anti-gun anti-second amendment forces. Of course there are those on these "gun friendly" sites who still parrot "they don't want to take away our guns" and are completely blind to what's happening around them. I get this quite often at one AK site which really blows my mind. Just watch and read the news people - wake up! We are at war and they are winning.

- Generizität (1)
- Gold (1)

- Lexical typology : a programmatic sketch (1997)
- The present paper is an attempt to lay the foundation for Lexical Typology as a new kind of linguistic typology.1 The goal of Lexical Typology is to investigate crosslinguistically significant patterns of interaction between lexicon and grammar.
- Qualities, objects, sorts, and other treasures : gold digging in English and Arabic (1999)
- In the present monograph, we will deal with questions of lexical typology in the nominal domain. By the term "lexical typology in the nominal domain", we refer to crosslinguistic regularities in the interaction between (a) those areas of the lexicon whose elements are capable of being used in the construction of "referring phrases" or "terms" and (b) the grammatical patterns in which these elements are involved. In the traditional analyses of a language such as English, such phrases are called "nominal phrases". In the study of the lexical aspects of the relevant domain, however, we will not confine ourselves to the investigation of "nouns" and "pronouns" but intend to take into consideration all those parts of speech which systematically alternate with nouns, either as heads or as modifiers of nominal phrases. In particular, this holds true for adjectives both in English and in other Standard European Languages. It is well known that adjectives are often difficult to distinguish from nouns, or that elements with an overt adjectival marker are used interchangeably with nouns, especially in particular semantic fields such as those denoting MATERIALS or NATlONALlTIES. That is, throughout this work the expression "lexical typology in the nominal domain" should not be interpreted as "a typology of nouns", but, rather, as the cross-linguistic investigation of lexical areas constitutive for "referring phrases" irrespective of how the parts-of-speech system in a specific language is defined.
- Typological parameters of genericity (2000)
- Different languages employ different morphosyntactic devices for expressing genericity. And, of course, they also make use of different morphosyntactic and semantic or pragmatic cues which may contribute to the interpretation of a sentence as generic rather than episodic. [...] We will advance the strong hypo thesis that it is a fundamental property of lexical elements in natural language that they are neutral with respect to different modes of reference or non-reference. That is, we reject the idea that a certain use of a lexical element, e.g. a use which allows reference to particular spatio-temporally bounded objects in the world, should be linguistically prior to all other possible uses, e.g. to generic and non-specific uses. From this it follows that we do not consider generic uses as derived from non-generic uses as it is occasionally assumed in the literature. Rather, we regard these two possibilities of use as equivalent alternative uses of lexical elements. The typological differences to be noted therefore concern the formal and semantic relationship of generic and non-generic uses to each other; they do not pertain to the question of whether lexical elements are predetermined for one of these two uses. Even supposing we found a language where generic uses are always zero-marked and identical to lexical sterns, we would still not assume that lexical elements in this language primarily have a generic use from which the non-generic uses are derived. (Incidentally, none of the languages examined, not even Vietnamese, meets this criterion.)

iTunes Replay streaming movies, subscriptions not coming soon after all?
CNET drops a big bottle of killjoy juice on recent rumors that Apple might just be ready to rollout their fabled iTunes Replay service -- the ability to re-download and stream content to iOS and iTunes from the iCloud -- or a Netflix-like subscription service.
While Apple has music and now TV available for re-download, at least in the US, apparently they've only got agreements with 4 of the 6 big studios needed to add movies to the mix.
One reason is the HBO window. During specific periods of time--often referred to in the film industry as windows--HBO owns the exclusive electronic distribution rights of films from three of the six top films studios: 20th Century Fox, Universal, and Warner Bros. Any retailer that wishes to sell physical DVDs from these studios during HBO's window is totally unrestricted. But online retailers are legally prevented from delivering movie downloads from the three HBO-restricted studios during HBO's window and they also can't stream titles from those studios. This means that right now iTunes can't stream a movie to a customer during the HBO window that the customer may have purchased outside of the window.
Broadcast windows are also the reason movies and TV Shows sometimes disappear and reappear from iTunes, Netflix, etc. But the bottom line seems to be, at least for now, that iTunes movie re-downloading, streaming, and subscription services are still a long way off.
