Is the release of the Apple iMessage to start to a larger plan for the company overall? It was one of the most important releases that Apple first announced at the WWDC 2011. IMessage is that service that is looking like it will be one of the most used by IOS and unlocked iPhone 4 users on the whole. Although it is a very basic application, that works very similar to that of the Blackberry messenger, it looks as though this release might be the start of a much larger social initiative on the whole for the company. IMessage is able to do more than just send text messages, your favorite photos and videos, but also works with all of the IOS devices and could be the start of Apple releasing their own instant messaging. Their own instant messaging network would be really great, because then they can outsource it to larger social networks, which allow users to stay connected through the social network utilizing the instant messaging capabilities that have been provided by Apple.
Soon, the company could allow users to download in a message application for their desktop computers that would allow them to connect to users on their mobile devices. This is something that a lot of companies have attempted in the past, but none have really risen to the top of the market in the way that one would expect them to with this technology. Apple seems to have the upper hand in this case with a huge, already geared-in user base. While most mobile devices utilize other instant messaging networks including the AOL Instant Messenger, it looks as though Apple is looking to create its own instant messaging service that would allow the company to further expand upon the ideas that were first launched by research in motion when they release the Blackberry messenger for their Blackberry devices such as Torch 9800, BlackBerry Bold Touch 9900 unlocked. It will be interesting to see what kind of plans they have in store for the new system, and whether or not they're looking to take it further than ever before.

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The backlog with the Department of Veterans Affairs has reached a new high, with the average claimant now having to wait 262 days to get a decision.
According to the Center For Investigative Reporting, the average wait time at the Buffalo office is even worse at 267 days. There are 8,118 claims pending at the Buffalo office.
Specialist Christopher Fuller of the Town of Tonawanda, who served in Afghanistan, has been waiting for 14 months for a decision on his claim. He suffers from PTSD, in addition to other physical injuries.
"Hire more people, and start taking care of the veterans that have taken care of this country," Fuller said.
Specialist Fuller can't work due to his injuries, and he's having a hard time making ends meet while the VA slowly processes his claim.
After posting this story on social media, 2 On Your Side heard from many other local veterans dealing with similar delays with the compensation claims.
The VA says it is changing its training, applying new technology, and updating its processing capabilities, all in an effort to completely eliminate the backlog by 2015.

Anyone who has been to Lake Powell knows that San Juan County is dotted with Indian ruins. They are everywhere. People who live in the area discover artifacts in their travels as a matter of routine. Farmers find them in their fields, cowboys find them on the cattle ranges, and recently a man from Blanding found a whole pit-house complex in his front yard while digging footers for a new garage. Backpackers, hunters and tourists find things, too. The stuff is everywhere.
For years people just took the artifacts and never worried about it. Even our most prestigious universities did little more than pot-hunt artifacts in the early days. In fact, the University of Utah bought artifacts from people in southern Utah until the 1950s. I know that because I have a degree in anthropology from the "U" and I've seen the collections tucked away in the dusty basement of the museum. The school had certain "contacts" in San Juan who kept them supplied with new and interesting finds that the school paid top dollar for. Of course this practice encouraged the economic exploitation of Indian ruins.
And for years, antique stores and commercial dealers paid good money for artifacts, no questions asked. An outfit named "Lear's" from Glenwood, Ark. had whole catalogs of Anasazi artifacts for sale to the general public. It is not surprising that several families from economically depressed San Juan County supplemented their incomes by finding and selling artifacts.
And then, there were many people who simply collected and kept the things they found. I am one of those. I spent time in the early 1950s at Hite and White Canyon with my grandparents before there was a Lake Powell. I began collecting arrowheads at the age of six. I'm not ashamed of that. I'm happy I was able to rescue a few small things before Lake Powell destroyed them.
Attitudes about collecting have changed over the years. Not so long ago it was cool to collect artifacts. My Boy Scout troop went on arrowhead hunting campouts and awarded prizes for the best finds. In the 1960s, the first board of directors of the CEU Museum sponsored artifact hunts to gather material to display in the Price museum.
But slowly attitudes changed as people became better educated and more enlightened. The federal Antiquities Act of 1979 and the Native American Graves Repatriation Act of 1990 pretty well put an end to the indiscriminate looting of archaeological sites - or should have. Unfortunately, some of it still happens.
And so, it was with a heavy heart that I watched events unfold in San Juan County last week. Most of us are aware of the raids by federal agents on suspected artifact traffickers in Blanding. I make no excuses for, or judgments about, those who were arrested. I don't know the people or the circumstances. I do know that most of the people taken into custody were in their late 50s through late 70s, and being a member of that generation with roots in southern Utah, I understand their history, mindset, and motives.
But what bothers me most is the way the raids were conducted. Of those arrested, 22 of 24 had no prior criminal history, according to news reports. And all were charged with non-violent crimes in this case. And yet the feds swooped in like the seventh cavalry avenging Custer's massacre. According to the channel two news in Salt Lake City, 78-year-old Harold Lyman had 25 federal agents, wearing full SWAT gear and carrying assault rifles, surround his home in the early morning hours and take him away in leg irons and chains. All of the other defendants were treated the same way. Lyman is a prominent, well-respected citizen of Blanding with years of faithful service to the community. Did the feds even consider that a man like that might surrender peacefully if the county sheriff served him with a summons? I don't know the man, but I'm sure he would have come to the sheriff's office if called on the phone.
There must be a special motive behind the grandstanding, aggressive actions and chest-thumping publicity event following the raid. Are the feds sending us a message? Are they trying to create fear and intimidation? Is this a preview of things to come?
This whole thing smacks of Waco, Ruby Ridge, and the Texas anti-polygamy raids of last year. The excessive use of force and the rough and insensitive way these non-violent "criminals" were treated reminds us of Hitler's Gestapo. It shows a calloused disregard for common decency, due process, and the principle of innocent until proven guilty. I don't know what is happening to my country anymore. It seems the people who run our government are doing all they can to make us fear and hate them.
What could possibly be their motive?

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
A power outage last week in the Cedar Hills area gave price city officials a pause as they tried to figure out how to improve communications with customers across the city when things don't quite go right.
"Monday we are having an incident review to see what we can do to improve things," said Price City Customer Service Manager Bret Cammans last Thursday. "We want to see what went wrong and what went right."
The outage in the area east of Cedar Hills Drive below 800 North caused about 50 homes to lose power for about 24 hours and half of those for another 22 hours after that when it was discovered the first break in the underground feeder line wasn't the only one.
The underground lines in that part of the city are nearing 40 years old and it seems that problems are occurring more and more often.
"It's nice to look out of your house and not see overhead power lines," said Cammens. "But on the other hand when they break you just can't drive down the street and see where they have come apart."
The cause of the breaks was suspected to be a "bump" in the power that occurred over the weekend of June 9. The surge as the power came back on may have affected weak areas of the lines, areas that were just ready to go down with any extra stress that may have been put on them.
Even though the city owns their own power system, it contracts with Rocky Mountain Power to do repairs. When customers first called Rocky Mountain to report outages some confusion reigned because customer service representatives for the company did not show those calling as customers because they were on the city owned system. Still once that was resolved Rocky Mountain crews showed up and worked to find what was originally thought to be only one break. They worked overnight into Tuesday and finally found a break and repaired it.
But when the power lines were energized, 20-25 homes were still without power.
"Those crews had been out on the job for 34 hours straight and more equipment was also neeeded to track down the second break," said Cammans. "So they went home for the night to rest up and wait for the equipment to show up."
That night Camman's, along with some other city employees, circulated around the neighborhood where the power was off and talked with residents.
"Most were very understanding, although they were frustrated," he stated. "I can't blame them for that. It was frustrating."
A few hours after starting operations again on Tuesday they found the second break and repaired it. That brought all the power back on.
Camman's said that when he retired for the night on Monday he thought that everything was in the process of being repaired.
"Had I known the problem we would have been out talking to the affected residents sooner," he stated.
Camman's said while they had had problems with the underground systems in various areas before, this was the longest lasting incident he had seen in his years working for the city.
"We are dealing with an aging electrical infrastructure on these underground systems," he stated. "We really need to expand our plans for overhauling them."
He also said that settling has been one of the big problems with the systems that were installed many years ago and some of that has happened on customers property and their house lines, not just with the feeder lines.
Exactly how or when an overhaul would be done is still a decision that hasn't been made, but Cammans said that it is in the works.
When he came to work at Price City seven years ago he said the biggest problem the town had with the electrical system was that trees were causing power failures on overhead lines constantly. An aggressive tree trimming program has almost eliminated those problems.
There are also some other priorities that need to be taken care of such as replacing some sub-station infrasture systems downtown. But the drawings are on the table for replacing underground systems too.
"Right now we are categorizing and prioritizing which systems need replacement first," he said. "It will take some time and it will be expensive."
He said that the underground systems will be replaced with new underground systems, but what kind will be installed and how they will be installed is still up in the air.
"Right now our emphasis needs to be on how we communicate with customers better in situations such as these," he stated. "That will be addressed next week."

The Jewish plastic surgeon known as Dr. Schnoz has decided to cancel a contest after the premise was considered inappropriate by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
Michael Salzhauer, M.D., helped create a music video entitled "Jewcan Sam: A Nose Job Love Song." The song is about a Jewish teen who fails to get the girl because of the size of his nose. The Groggers, a Jewish pop-punk band, wrote the song.
The video compares the Jewish nose to Toucan Sam's beak.
Salzhauer requested that viewers make similar videos, and the best video would receive a paid for trip to Miami, the home of Salzhauer's practice. But the sought-after surgeon has chosen to halt the publicity stunt.
Salzhauer also offered free nose jobs to everyone in the band. Lead singer Doug Staiman, who plays the main character in the video, accepted the offer.
Staiman, along with Salzhauer, has been the subject of criticism. But the songwriter doesn't seem to mind. He answered critics: "We're all Orthodox Jews and very proud Jews. Isn't there a KKK rally you've got to break up somewhere?"
Malcolm Rush, M.D., president of the ASPS, said: "This is just disturbing that a doctor would play into the frailties of the human condition."

Video: Fire in Student Housing at UB North
AMHERST, NY - A dorm student is facing charges following a fire that caused thousands of dollars in damage to a housing complex on UB's North Campus.
The Amherst Fire Department was called out to Spaulding Quad at the Ellicott Complex shortly after 6 PM Thursday night.
College officials say Alex Seidenberg, 19, from Ardsley, allegedly used a butane torch while using marijuana. Police believe he dropped the torch while smoking, starting the fire. He's charged with arson, reckless endangerment, possession of marijuana and criminal mischief.
Seidenberg and his girlfriend were taken to ECMC with minor injuries.
"The quick response and excellent work of these departments (Getzville, Ellicott Creek and North Bailey), are the reasons why there was minimal damage and the fire was confined to one room," said UB Police chief Gerald Schoenle, Jr.
Nineteen students living on the fourth floor were temporarily displaced and staying at a local hotel. Campus staff is working with them to find them accomodations for the rest of the semester.

When she applied for a job as an artist's assistant, Megan didn't think she'd be doing much––get coffee, maybe answer a phone call or two––certainly not make small metal creatures with a giant power hammer. (Spoiler: she ended up doing that last one. Lots.) Though her gut reaction that first day was to run, within the hour Megan was ready to wield the hammer for the rest of her life. Today she's making stainless steel goods for homes and gardens, using eco-friendly materials and sustainable practices. Heck, she even powers her shop by solar panel. And she much prefers it to fetching coffee.

They're revered as musical royalty.
They play to sold-out crowds.
They're treated like celebrities.
Their "axes" are old school.
Their music is new school.
They are what's new in music.
While the British Invasion was all about the 60's and the Latin Invasion was all about the 90's, the new Japanese Invasion is all about 2 talented young men and Japan's new music craze in 2004. Enter the Yoshida Brothers.
What's new in music? These guys are BRAND new. No doubt about it. At twenty-something years old, the Yoshida Brothers (Domo Records) bring their centuries old traditional based sound to the world, packaged in a uniquely 21st century manner. With a nod to the past and their eyes squarely focused on the future, these Yoshida dudes are something different.
Sure they enjoy cars and girls. They're in their twenties. But in the hands of these wizards, the brothers' "axe" of choice Tsugaru-shamisen (pronounced Tsoogaroo shameesen) makes musical magic. Ryoichiro and Kenichi drive exotic sports cars and buy stuff at Dolce & Gabbana. Since they debuted this old school meets New York hip music in 1999 (a debut sold 100,000 plus copies in Japan), in 2004, the Yoshida Bros. are back at it in America. They'll tour the country from coast to coast.
Pioneering new improvisational techniques on the instrument, the Yoshidas have elevated the three string Tsugaru-shamisen to Stratocaster status in Japan. Next up, the USA.
While the new album has roots that date back to the 16th century origins of the instrument, the melodies and rhythms lend themselves to quite quickly to western ears.
And don't let the traditional garb they wear fool you. While the Yoshida's bow to and acknowledge the deep history of the instrument, their passion and mission statement is to take these centuries-old based jamz to the masses. And they're doing it.
With an influence so great, that as a result of their popularity, Japanese kids now must study ancient instruments in music classes, the Yoshida Brothers have returned to charm American audiences. Via Grammy in the Schools participation, a 90 minute NHK Network Documentary and numerous network and cable television appearances, their path is clear. The New Japanese Invasion Begins... Yoshida Brothers' style.

Experience the Heysen Trail; one of the world's great walking trails and the longest in Australia. The 1,200 kilometre Heysen Trail extends from Cape Jervis on the south coast of the Fleurieu Peninsula to Parachilna Gorge in the Flinders Ranges.Named after the famous landscape artist Sir Hans Heysen, the trail boasts some of the state's most spectacular landscapes; passing through national parks, state forests, vineyards, orchards, acclaimed tourist destinations and historic towns that offer accommodation.Join the trail at any point along its journey and enjoy a section as a series of half-day walks or complete the entire trail as a 60 day hiking adventure. Inexperienced hikers should stick to the sections of the trail closer to Adelaide and the south coast. Further out from Adelaide the trail becomes more challenging; the terrain is harder and more isolated.Some of the most stunning sections of the Heysen Trail include:Fleurieu Peninsula: Deep Creek Conservation Park, Tapanappa to Boat Harbor.Adelaide Hills: Mylor to Mount Lofty.Barossa Valley: Mount Crawford to Tanunda.Flinders Ranges: Wilpena Pound to Parachilna Gorge.Heysen Trail Northern and Southern guidebooks and maps are available from leading bushwalking and map shops, the RAA and park offices.

Zora Neale Hurston (1891-1960) was one of the most vibrant, poetic, and controversial novelists
in twentieth-century America. She also may be the most striking example of a writer whose reputation was rescued from
obscurity after her death. During the "Harlem Renaissance" of the 1920s and '30s, Hurston (who was trained as an anthropologist)
lovingly captured the poetic language and dramatic stories of the people of Eatonville, Florida, one of the nation's only all-black
towns. She was determined to bring new voices and experiences into literature. Although her books were successful at first, by the
1950s they had gone out of print, and Hurston was reduced to working as a maid near the end of her life. In the 1970s and '80s, however,
devoted fans, including the novelist Alice Walker, helped bring Hurston's writing back into the limelight. Today, her novels and stories
are among the most frequently discussed in college classrooms and literary journals.
Starting Place: Their Eyes Were Watching God (novel, 1937)
Quotable:"She was stretched on her back beneath the pear tree soaking in the alto chant of the visiting bees, the gold of
the sun and the panting breath of the breeze when the inaudible voice of it all came to her. She saw a dust-bearing bee sink into
the sanctum of a bloom, the thousand sister-calyxes arch to meet the love embrace and the ecstatic shiver of the tree from root to
tiniest branch creaming in every blossom and frothing with delight. So this was marriage! She had been summoned to behold a revelation"
(Their Eyes Were Watching God).
To learn more:You can learn more about Hurston and other great American writers in courses like:
English 249 (American Literature since 1865) and English 259 (African American Literature).

The drill bit is breaking & i have to make words of it
Your wedding band is cut from your delicate finger; they give you pills that make you shuffle & i have to make words of it
i'm searching with a seething rage that's male, hopeless, bare to the waist.
i'm as lost as you were when you kissed my dead father in his casket.
i've smashed every photo, burned everything i've ever written, spat at my graceful prose.
My confused tears fall on memories of you bathing me in the sink.
Gratefully, i would remove my own entrails & read their pearly scroll if only for an answer: why you mother?
You are vacuous, you leave me with clenched muscles. My two brothers fall away.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a statistical association between the changes from baseline in the levels of two cytokines interleukin (IL)-17A and IL-6 in the sputum of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the severity of acute exacerbations of COPD (AE-COPD). These sputum cytokine levels are taken as measures of the adaptive immune response (IL-17A) and the innate immune response (IL-6), respectively. Sputum will be collected either spontaneously or will be obtained by induction; cytokine levels will be measured by ELISA. The primary analysis, comparisons of sputum cytokine levels between clinical states, will be done using random effects modeling.

WEST CARTHAGE The village Planning Board has approved a final site plan for a proposed Bridge Street construction.
Final approval was granted to Gary Johnson, owner of the Valero service station and convenience store at 16 Bridge St. and the neighboring Johnson Mobil garage at 16� Bridge St. Mr. Johnson plans to demolish the Valero convenience store and enlarge the garage building to house a convenience store.
In June, he was granted an area variance by the Zoning Board of Appeals to construct a new 2,000-square-foot convenience store.
Mr. Johnson told the board the construction material for the exterior walls has been changed, based on a recommendation by his engineers, Aubertine and Currier Architects, Engineers and Land Surveyors PLLC of Watertown. The front will use 6-inch walls with a brick facade. The ends and back will be a composite material. This type of construction also was used at Bauers across the street from the garage. Mr. Johnson said the garage will remain red and the store will be gray. The business owner was advised to obtain a Jefferson County building permit before beginning construction.
The board also addressed concerns about parking, lighting and signage. Mr. Johnson said he has used the public parking lot adjacent to his property if cars are left for service. Lights will be in the soffit and a wall pack will be installed on the North Main Street end of the building. Signs will be discussed at a later date.
In another review, Kent D. Burto of Northern Developers presented copies of the revised plans for the construction of a Family Dollar store. The state Department of Transportation had requested a lower elevation for the main driveway to the new store. Planning Board Chairman Ronald J. Blinebry told the board he had inspected the site and was satisfied with the changes. Mr. Burto told the board a retaining wall in the original plans no longer was needed with the elevation change. The revised plans will have to be approved by the Jefferson County Planning Board.
Mr. Blinebry told the board he issued permits to allow tree harvesting on the Johnson property on Broad Street and for demolition of the property at 27 N. Broad St.

Like everyone in New England, I've spent the week fielding anxious calls, emails and Facebook messages from people around the country — and the world, for that matter — asking whether I had survived the great blizzard.
Here's the one other story that you can't afford to miss today
"Are you OK?" worried relatives asked from as far away as Europe.
There's a simple, seven-word response: "I'm fine: I live in the city."
Count this as yet another reason living in the city beats living in the countryside. Look, I grew up in a small town, on top of a big hill, with 500 acres of forest at the back. I get the appeal. But every time my wife and I think about moving back out, we just can't quite do it. And this week provided yet another reason.
Here are eight reasons living in the city beats living outside.
1. No whiteout.
Yes, it was dangerous out there last weekend. But in downtown Boston? Please.
Friday afternoon, my local cafes were all closing down early so the staff and owners could make it back to the suburbs before the snow blocked everything off. Saturday, everything was closed because no one could make it in.
Meanwhile, the city dwellers were out walking their dogs. It was just another weekend. No big deal.
2. No shoveling.
A friend from the suburbs tells me he spent 6 1/2 hours over the weekend with a shovel and a snowblower, clearing his driveway and surrounding areas.
Nemo leaves Conn. snowed in
Scenes from around Connecticut show the aftermath of the "Nemo" blizzard.
Six and a half hours? Really? Yes, really.
He's a professional guy. He earns a good salary. If a stranger called him up out of the blue and said, "Hey, buddy, how would you like to spend your weekend doing manual labor in the freezing cold?" I doubt he'd say, "Sure! I'll do it for free!" Yet this is what he is doing.
At $40 an hour, those 6 1/2 hours would come to $260. At $30 an hour, we're talking $195.
3. No roof trouble.
Most of the houses you will see in New England are made of wood. One of the great mysteries of life is why people who live with extreme weather conditions build their homes like this, instead of from something sensible, like brick.
However, you cannot tell New Englanders anything. They won't listen. Their great-grandfathers built their homes out of wood so, by golly, they're sticking to the plan. It's a miracle they have adopted indoor plumbing.

An increased reliance on large lenders rather than local banks has stripped local officials of much of their ability to determine whether a waterfront property owner along the St. Lawrence River needs to obtain flood insurance.
Timothy C. Tuttle, town of Oswegatchie code enforcement officer, said the policy in the past was, as long as the project was visibly three feet above the water, [flood insurance] wasnt an issue. Now all of a sudden it is.
Larger banks offering waterfront property mortgages cannot physically send someone to look at the land, meaning more home buyers seeking loans from these banks are being forced to follow a longstanding rule requiring flood insurance if they are located in a floodplain.
Mr. Tuttle said that now, if your property touches water, you got to get flood insurance.
Richard D. Jacobs of Jacobs Land Surveying in Ogdensburg said he thinks a lack of understanding is behind the increasing numbers of people who have had to get flood insurance.
In the last two months Ive done eight or nine flood certificates [along the St. Lawrence River], Mr. Jacobs said. Up until a couple years ago I had never done one on the river. Its been a significant increase.
The finance companies havent looked at the St. Lawrence River as a major flood area before now, said Mr. Tuttle, who added that the river only fluctuates by several feet every year.
Mr. Jacobs said he recently surveyed a property where a woman was required to get flood insurance for a home that was 20 feet above the rivers high water mark.
If the St. Lawrence River raises 20 feet, the whole city of Ogdensburg would be under water, he said. The chances of the St. Lawrence River flooding to the level that it floods the houses we are getting flood certificates for is pretty crazy. If youre going to raise the water 12 to 15 feet Noah better get his arc ready because thats a lot of rain.
Gloria Prince, a flood insurance specialist at the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said new lending processes have meant that old laws are getting enforced with less room for deviation.
There has not been any change in requirements, said Ms. Prince.
People who get federally backed home financing have always been required to get flood insurance if their property is in a floodplain, said Ms. Prince.
Mr. Jacobs said in the past homeowners were typically dealing with local banks which could send someone to see the property for themselves or deal with trusted local officials who knew the area and could deem the insurance requirement unnecessary.
Ms. Prince said there are cases where a piece of property may be in the floodplain but may actually be high up enough that it would not flood.
In the past [property owners] may have contacted the local official, said Ms. Prince, adding that it was then up to local banks to decide if they would require the insurance.
In todays lending tree, this lender picks up the mortgage application in, say, California, and the first thing they see is, oh this property touches water? They need flood insurance, Mr. Jacobs said.
Mr. Jacobs said the fact that more homebuyers are turning to banks from different parts of the state or country has made it more difficult for property owners who may previously not have worried about flood insurance.
Technically [banks] are supposed to require a Letter of Map Amendment, said Ms. Prince. It would officially remove it from the floodplain.

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Komodosport LS (Women's):
This is my first pair of Vibrams and my only regret is that I didn't buy them sooner.
They are so light and comfortable. They allow natural movement, like walking barefoot, while keeping feet protected.
Great at the beach because they dry so quickly. I can't wait to try them out climbing Dunn's River Falls in Jamaica on our upcoming cruise!

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Komodosport LS (Women's):
I so love these shoes! They are the most comfortable FiveFingers I own (Classic, Bikila LS, KSO). The ONLY downside is that the little grey reflectors on the top of the shoe are starting to peel off after only 3 months of use. I expect that within a month, there will be no more of them left, but the soles look as though they'll last a lifetime!

Comments about Vibram FiveFingers Komodosport LS (Women's):
I use these shoes at the gym while doing my weight training as well as cardio. I have terrible shin splint issues, but when I run on the treadmill in these, I feel absolutely no pain! I am so glad I bought these shoes!
