4 Large Bank Stock Picks From Deutsche Bank
TheStreet) -- Large regional banks continue to outperform money center banks, despite the compelling stock price multiples for the largest bank holding companies. Deutsche Bank analyst Matt O'Connor noted on Thursday that while the KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) "is down 13% from the March 26 high, this reflects a nearly 30% pullback on average in the Money Centers," including Bank of America (BAC - Get Report), Citigroup (C - Get Report) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM - Get Report), while "using the S&P Commercial Bank Index (excludes Money Centers), the stocks are down a modest 3%--despite sharply lower interest rates, slowing economic growth and a much larger potential hit to capital from new proposed rules."Summing up second-quarter results for the 17 large banks covered by his firm, O'Connor said that net interest margins (NIM) "were down just slightly on average and remain okay for now, but are not sustainable if rates remain at current levels." The net interest margin is a bank's average spread between its average yield on loans and investments and its average cost for deposits and borrowings. Over the past two years, banks have enjoyed lower funding costs as checking account balances grow, and higher-cost deposits reprice. But with short-term rates unable to head any lower, while long-term rates continue to decline and the Federal Reserve considers additional moves that could push long-term rates even further down, many banks are focusing on cutting expenses. Bank of America, for example is pushing for $5 billion in annual cost savings through the end of 2014, through Phase 1 of its "Project New BAC" program, which focuses on the company's consumer business. During the company's second-quarter conference call, CFO Bruce Thompson said that "we made progress on expenses, which declined $2.1 billion from the first quarter, of which approximately $900 million was due to the absence of annual retirement eligible stock-based compensation awards that impacted the first quarter." Thompson said Bank of America was still on track to exceed the 20% of the $5 billion in annual cost savings by the end of 2012 from Phase 1 of the expense reduction program. The CFO said that he expected Phase 2 of Project New BAC -- focusing on wholesale and investment banking --would lead to expense reductions of "approximately $3 billion on an annualized basis, which would be fully phased-in by mid 2015," for total target annual expense reductions of $8 billion by the end of 2015. O'Connor said that eight other large U.S. banks covered by Deutsche Bank "remain focused on reducing costs where possible, even if they don't have an official cost cutting initiative in place." Another major theme for many of the large banks was continued strength in mortgage revenue, as the refinancing wave from the expanded Home Mortgage Refinance Program, or HARP 2.0, continues. O'Connor said that "production volumes were mostly higher (driven by good refinance activity) and gain-on-sale margins remained strong," during the second quarter, and that he expects the low rates and HARP 2.0 "to continue to help mortgage activity in 2H12... however, gain on sale margins should eventually come down over time." Here are O'Connor's two favorite picks among stocks of large U.S. banks, followed by his two buy-rated money center banks:NEW YORK (

I am ecpecting #3 the first week of April and need to fit three seats in the back of my Chevy Equinox. DD is in Cosco high back booster and DS is in the Alpha Omega Elite. Probably gong to get anoth Cosco HBB and wondering if there is a narrow infant seat that will fit inbetween. We have a Graco snug ride but I don't think that is narrow enough. I havent tried any of them yet and can't afford the Radians right now.
Most narrow infant seat?
The AOE is a pretty wide seat, how old is your DS? I would probably look at getting a Radian for your DS and see if the Snugride will work with that. The Radian is a very narrow convertible seat. It's also usually easier to buckle kids into a carseat than a booster it tight spaces since you don't need to reach down between the seats.
How old are your other children and what do they weigh? The cosco high back booster is not a great seat. It is very short and then makes a terrible booster. I would suggest different seats for your older kids and use the snugride for the baby if possible.

The chico keyfit is only 14 wide. I think others talk about the baby trend . I LOVE the Chicco keyfit 30. Depending on how your middle fit the seats they are in there may be other higher weight options than the radians. You never want a child under 4 and under 40 lbs in booster . Closer to 6 is when most kids are mature enough to handle a booster full time.
The keyfit is 16 inches wide, though 14 at the feet. The baby trend is slim, but the handle must be down in the vehicle. The Combi Shuttle is also very thin.

DD will be 3.5 by april and is 38" tall and 35 lbs. DS is 12 months and 21 lbs. I know I won't be able to keep the AOE but will look into the other seat combinations.
It's really best for your DS to be rear-facing in the car, it's 500% safer than forward facing. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends rearfacing to the limits of the convertible carseat, most are 35lbs, a few are 40lbs and one is 45lbs rearfacing!
I would look at using the infant seat that you used with your DS for the new baby and buying a Radian XTsl or just radian80sl for your DS and keep him rearfacing. Honestly, I would try to sell the AOE and her cosco seat on Craigslist and get two Radians, your DD probably doesn't have much time in the harness of the Cosco combo seat and it makes a horrible booster seat. Not to mention kids need to be 4yrs AND 40lbs (minimum) before they use a highback booster with seatbelt, most kids aren't emotionally ready to be in a booster with a seatbelt until 5 or 6yrs.
Someone else can chime in with where they're on sale but really your best bet is going to be Radians! They keep a baby/toddler rearfacing for a long time (which is WAY safer) and they keep kids harnessed to proper booster age (5 or 6) and another cool thing is they last 8 years!! You'll be able to pass down to the new baby and use them for a long time! The Radians are pricey, but cheaper than having to buy a new car and it will fix your situation for a long time!
Michelle mom to
I would try a generations 65 for the oldest a a Scenera for teh 12 month old rf.
I googled and get 51.3 inches for rear hip room. The AOE is about 19 wide. Do you have the base on it or off? Is it the old seat that only went to 40 lbs with the harness? If you still have the base on remove it . Theres a rode on the bottom you just push out . That will give you some more space. Then put the 3 year old in evenflo geneartions 65 or the mystro. The mystro may be narrower. Then the keyfit for teh baby . that should all fit and only get 2 seats. YOu could try the snugride it may work also in place of the keyfit. Then your only buying 1 new seat for under $100. Then when the baby outgrows the infant seat pass the AOE down and the older childs seat and go with a booster maybe then. 3s really too young for a booster. They can do whats called submarining under the seat belt among other dangerous things.
It looks like the equinox has a lot of room from front to back. I'd go with a forward facing radian for your oldest, a rear-facing radian for the 1 year old, and then put the snugride on the side. That should all fit nicely.
Please see the faqs to learn why your middle child should remain rear-facing longer.

I agree with some of the others...to get the most out of your money, try to reuse the Snugride. A keyfit will cost you as much as a Radian and only get you about 6 months of use.
My suggestion, get a Radian for your oldest - I found mine for $150 so there are good deals on them, a Scenera for your 1 year old and reuse the Snugride. By the time your 1 year old outgrows the Scenera, your oldest could go into a booster and you could pass the Radian down. Since both of those seats are pretty thin, you might also be able to reuse the Alpha Omega for the baby as well.
mom to Brian 3/07, Kevin & Patrick 4/09, angels Elisabeth ^11/12^ and Kacey ^1/14^ and our rainbow Finn 12/30/14
I wouldn't do a Scenera (no EPS foam), I would definitely do at least 1 Radian. You might still be able to use the AOE with the Radian in the mix (I didn't think about that). I would use the AOE without the base rearfacing for your 1yr old, the Radian for your 3.5y/o and then the snugride for the baby. When your DS outgrows the AOE rearfacing, then you can pass the Radian to him, get your 3.5y/o a booster and the baby can have the AOE rearfacing provided it's not expired.

I am creating a multipage form in PHP, using a session. The
$stage variable tracks the user's progress in filling out the form, (UPDATE) and is normally set in $_POST at each stage of the form.
On the second page (stage 2), the form's submit button gets its value like this:
echo '<input type="hidden" name="stage" value="';
echo $stage + 1;
echo '" />;
That works fine -
$stage + 1 evaluates to 3 if I'm on page 2. But since I'm doing this more than once, I decided to pull this code out into a function, which I defined at the top of my code, before
$stage is mentioned.
In the same spot where I previously used the code above, I call the function. I have verified that the function's code is the same, but now
$stage + 1 evaluates to 1.
Is PHP evaluating my variable when the function is defined, rather than when it's called? If so, how can I prevent this?
Update 1
To test this theory, I set
$stage = 2 before defining my function, but it still evaluates to 1 when I call the function. What's going on?
Problem Solved
Thanks to everyone who suggested variable scope as the culprit - I'm slapping my forehead now.
$stage was a global variable, and I didn't call it
$GLOBAL_stage, like I usually do, to prevent this sort of problem.
I added
global $stage; to the function definition and it works fine. Thanks!

Planet Ark's National Recycling Week (9th -15th November 2015) is the annual opportunity for councils, workplaces, schools and individuals to brush up on their knowledge and become successful recyclers.
Australians are willing recyclers with 91% of us agreeing that it is the right thing to do. However, as the recycling sector keeps developing there is still some confusion about what can and can't be recycled. More than one in two Australians wrongly think aerosol cans can't go in their kerbside recycling bin and 24% sometimes put their recycling in a plastic bag.
Last year's theme Seven Secrets of Successful Recyclers was designed to lift the lid on the actions and habits that make a successful recycler. National Recycling Week 2014 looked at some of the key questions that cause confusion: what can go in the home recycling bin; what should be left out; how to recycle effectively at work; what to do if there's no public place recycling bin; and, what's the problem with plastic bags?
There are lots of ways to get involved in National Recycling Week:
- Schools - Take the Packaging Covenant Schools Recycle Right Challenge
- Councils - Use the many education, PR and Activity Guides we've developed
- Workplaces - Host a Friday File Fling
- Households - Find out the truth about aerosols, plastic bags, Pringles tubes and more.
National Recycling Week 2014 was made possible thanks to:
- Major Sponsor: Australian Packaging Covenant
- Associate Sponsors: Unilever, Bingo and 'Cartridges 4 Planet Ark'
- Supporting Sponsors: Australian Paper, MobileMuster, and Officeworks

Washington wine pioneer, Rick Small
If you know anything about Washington wine, you know about Rick Small. He and his wife Darcey founded Woodward Canyon Winery in 1981 and, as Walla Walla's second winery of record, immediately began producing intense, consistently award-winning wines. Not one to rest on his laurels, Small is constantly looking for ways to better his wine and his business, even stretching his commitment to sustainability to encompass the physical and financial well-being of his employees.

Sharing Secrets with Walla Walla Vintners Co-Founder Gordy Venneri
Of late, an overwhelming abundance of produce from the garden has inspired the Smalls to open their Reserve House for seasonal lunches as well as offering fresh-picked produce from the on-site Lazy S Arrow market. It's easily apparent that 30-something years into the business, Small's passion for making amazing wine, building a healthy community, and advancing sustainability have not waned. That's true salt of the earth, y'all.
You've been in the biz for 30-something years, right?
Yeah. When I started I had a ponytail! It's been one of the greatest things I've ever done. From an agricultural point of view, I've especially loved it. Being from Walla Walla, I have five generations of family agriculture on my mother's side and three generations on my father's side. It gives you more of a sense of place, I think, than if you came here from somewhere like Microsoft, for example, and chose to start making wine in Walla Walla. Being from a farming family, I just look at it differently.
The winemaker's mantra seems to be "You can't make good wine without good grapes". Do you feel your agricultural background has given you special insight into that part of winemaking?
Yes, that's how I feel. I feel like some winemakers underestimate the importance. I mean, obviously, when you first get started you need to have a source of fruit. I was the same way -- you just do whatever you can to get good grapes and align yourself with good growers. But at the end of the day I think growing grapes is the best way. Even though it may cost more. It's usually cheaper to be a winery and just buy grapes than it ever is to buy property, try to develop the property, pick the right clones, the right root stocks, the right slopes, the right irrigation, the right density and all of that. It's much cheaper to buy grapes -- but it's not the right way if you like to have control.
How did you move from the agricultural side into winemaking?
Well, Gary Figgins (Leonetti) and I were good friends -- we were both in the Army reserve together. He was making wine first and I was just blown away by some of the wines he was making because they were fabulous. Even his fruit wines were extraordinary. They were just pure fruit and done in a way I'd never seen before and it was just like, a game changer.
Were you a fan of wine at that point?
Not really. I was just intrigued by it. I was in agriculture, I studied it in school, and that's what I knew. I never thought about a career in wine, honestly, until I tasted some of Gary's early wines and I started reading a lot and studying more and it just kind of happened. It wasn't like a light came on or anything like that, I was just intrigued. It's kind of like when you meet somebody and you're intrigued enough with that person to want to pursue it more? It's almost like dating. It's curious that you're asking me these questions right now because I have to do a deal where I am on a panel with some newer winemakers on why we chose Walla Walla. But see, I'm not in that same zone. I was here before - and it chose me!
I notice the paperwork from 1983 for the original Walla Walla Valley AVA application is displayed in your Reserve House. What was your role in that?
Woodward Canyon's Reserve House
It was a group effort. I think Gary was involved, I was involved, Scott Hendricks was involved, his wife Becky, and my wife Darcey. She's the one who actually wrote it because of her land use background. Herb Hendricks was also very involved in it. He was one of the owners of Seven Hills vineyard with Casey McClellan's father Jim. They were both Doctors and probably were a couple of the first people -- because they were professionals -- to bring this awareness to Walla Walla valley.
We sure do still have that paperwork -- it's important! I mean it's part of our history and I think at the time we didn't think about what it meant so much as it just being important. There was a discussion at that time about dictating quality within the Walla Walla appellation, back in 1983 and '84. We thought, "Boy, that would be such a progressive thing for the United States to do and we in Walla Walla could do it first!" But we just felt like nobody would buy into that. We liked the quality designations in Bordeaux and other places like that but it never happened. Sometimes I almost wish we would have followed through on that.
How did the establishment of the appellation change things?
Well, the appellation was a really neat thing for us to do but the importance that I see right now and going forward with it is it's our brand. We need to protect the value of our brand and our name and be sure that we don't do anything to dilute it or devalue it. That's why people are here -- because of the name and the reputation we have developed over the years.
There are some people, I think, who are probably willing to ride coattails a little bit and that's OK. Eventually the market sorts that out. I think about the value of being here but I also think about sustaining that and continually building the brand. I fear sometimes that there are people who come here from another place and they don't see the bigger picture -- which is that Walla Walla has a lot of social capital. What I mean by that is we have a lot of people who are here because of this place but they're also willing to put a lot back in to help drive that value and make sure it is the best it can be. At the same time there are other people here who are willing to take a lower road. And in some cases, like taking names from Europe or things like that, that basically make me think we could do better than that. I would love to see us always, always take the high road. We don't need to bad mouth anybody, we don't need to beat anybody else down, we don't need to copy France, we should just be Walla Walla and be really proud of it and do everything we can to make it stronger.
On that note, over the years you've gone from being focused on making wine to overseeing an entire business. Is there anything you miss or like best?
I like it all. Every bit of it. Some things are better at different times of the year -- I always like crush and the energy of it. I think the hardest part, which I tell people all the time, is that making the wine is easy -- it's fun, it's creative, but you still have to sell it. You have to sell all of it and you have to sell it the right way. Something I am particularly liking right now also is this thing that we've done kind of moving over into food -- it has been fascinating.
Right -- you recently started serving lunch at the Reserve House as well as selling produce through your seasonal market, the Lazy S Arrow Market?
Cellar of dreams
Yes! A few years ago, we were in Napa visiting friends at Spottswoode, Duckhorn and Shafer and were so impressed with the hospitality there. Yeah, we're just Walla Walla winemakers, but we were treated so graciously, they weren't condescending, and they treated us as equals. I was very impressed with that as well as with the structures, the spaces and the meals -- they were all very special. Having lunches and dinners with these people made us even better friends and when Darcey and I came back we realized that was one of the parts of our business that we still didn't have in place -- a reception area where we could really entertain people and receive them well. So that's how the Reserve House evolved.
The garden came as a result of our LIVE certification, Walla Walla valley's Vinea program and the whole sustainability thing. One of the key cogs is making sure the social aspect of sustainability is taken care of -- that employees are paid good wages, they're on your healthcare and pension plans, and everybody is in it as a communal thing. I kinda learned that stuff from my father, but it's a key aspect to being a sustainable company and a sustainable vineyard. But Darcey did this garden on the other side of the sustainable thing and we just had more produce than we could ever eat ourselves, even though everybody was taking home everything they could -- potatoes, tomatoes, tomatillos, everything!
It sounds like the Reserve House has become as much a destination as the tasting room?
We love the wine business but the wine business is not only just about the wine -- it's about food and a relationship and an experience. We felt that one of the things we were hurting for in the West end of the Walla Walla valley was this: people would rush in from Portland or Seattle, they'd leave the city in the morning, maybe not stop for lunch so they can just blow right into Walla Walla wine country. So they get in Lowdon, around 12:30 or 1, then they're in a hurry to get into Walla Walla for lunch, and totally miss out on this end of town. So we thought, at least during the season, we're going to try and do food. Our chef Heidi has just been fabulous -- but it's really Darcey's idea. She was the driver behind it but because we focused so much on the restaurant maybe our little market didn't get all the attention it deserved. And this year was a lousy year for produce too, it came so late this season. We're just starting to get tomatoes now. It sucks! But it is what it is. They are wonderful.
But so anyway, wine is very important to us and we think we can do that well. We've always marketed out wine in the context of food, so moving forward with this idea is very exciting for us. When I go to New York or Atlanta or Miami or Portland I am going to talk about how Woodward Canyon wine and Nelm's Road wine fits at the table and that we are making the wines to be consumed and enjoyed with food as much as possible. That you can have regionally. The idea of farm to table is important and we love that but the idea of regionalizing a place and I love the idea of, as much as possible, having our food sourced as closely as we can. If you know that the potatoes were in the ground or the tomatoes on the plant 2-3 hours before they're on your plate, that doesn't suck. That's as good as it gets for me and I take a lot of pride in that. So that's kind of our little thing, is to make that kind of food. And then when the season stops and the produce stops we'll stop doing food. And it feels good! As a farmer, I can't tell you how good that feels. My father would be very proud. He's passed away but he would be very pleased to know that food from Woodward Canyon and the Lazy S Arrow ranch is coming down here and giving people pleasure and enjoyment -- it's very cool. And it just FEELS good! It's probably as good a thing for a farmer as I can think of.
I am always an advocating for vertical integration in agriculture because we don't have a lot of it -- a farmer grows their wheat or product but they don't typically ever get to know the end user. They don't ever get to make a relationship with that lady or that couple or that man that came in and wanted to taste wine or have a light lunch -- and we get to do that here. It's just the best. It's fabulous! It's like Jiminy Christmas, if I would have known I could have done this as a farmer, I would have done this sooner. Except I probably wouldn't have had the confidence to do it sooner. Or the reckless abandon. Or both. You have to be a little crazy to do some of this stuff!
Well things would be really boring if we weren't all a little bit crazy, right?
Yes. And you know what Zibby? You also have to be willing to fail. And that's the crazy part. I gotta tell you honestly, at my age, I'm a little more conservative about that stuff than I used to be. Socially I am still the same person, always will be, but a good friend of mine told me once that you don't become a conservative until you have something to conserve. I've never forgotten that and I always give Scott Hendricks credit for it because I like it so much. It doesn't mean you have to be conservative in your politics, it just means that once you start to have things there's more riding on it. I have a group of 20 employees I have to think about and I have to provide jobs -- good jobs -- for them. So the idea of stepping out into these other facets is a little bit of a leap of faith, but it sure has been fun.
I think considering this was just our first year and the way people have embraced it, we're doing well. I know we could have done things better but I have been one in my business, I think, to never, ever be satisfied. No matter how good things can be or how well you've executed, I'd like to think there's always still room to take it higher. No matter what it is: from the vegetables we grow or the flavor qualities in our fruit or the quality of wine or the quality of plant material we put in the ground. The beauty is we haven't made our best wine yet, we can always do better in everything. We can always do better.

A lot of the people in Lone Star Randonneurs are really excellent riders; others, like me, got involved first and are still working on being good riders.
On occasion, we have a "Permanent Populaire", which is a ride that everyone is invited to. You all are invited to come ride with us on Saturday, March 5th. This is a 100k ride that starts in Grand Prairie and goes down to Maypearl and back. You'll get to experience country roads, a few hills, a few dogs, some nice scenery, maybe even some good company. Email me at email@example.com, and I can get you full details on the ride.

Respond to Review of El Huerto
by kimmykokonut
Review: I had efficient service, except when I wanted to pay. I ate outside and it was pleasant The menu is varied (a lot of pretty salads, not a lot of protein). I ordered the Indian dish and it was smaller than expected for the price, but it was delicious and I was full. The mint lemonade is delicious. Even though the place was busy, my food came in record time for south american restaurants. It was expensive (about $10 US for an entree) but worth it to have a break from white rice and potatoes. Would return again.

I knew the man.
I think he was second only to Dylan as a songwriter.
He had been in a coma after taking an overdose of muscle relaxants earlier this week, said the spokesman, Jem Cohen.
Mr. Chesnutt had a cracked, small voice but sang with disarming candor about a struggle for peace in a life filled with pain. A car crash at age 18 left him partly paralyzed, and he performed in a wheelchair.
The accident, he has said, focused him as a songwriter, and it became the subject of some of his earliest recordings. Im not a victim/Oh, I am an atheist, Mr. Chesnutt sang in Speed Racer, from his first album, Little, produced by Michael Stipe of R.E.M. and released in 1990.
In a recent interview on the public radio show Fresh Air, he told Terry Gross: It was only after I broke my neck and even like maybe a year later that I really started realizing that I had something to say.

iOS updates address FaceTime issues

I should have remembered this when I was talking about the Retina iPad mini availability in San Francisco, but I had completely forgotten about it. Thanks to the MacObserver, I rediscovered this handy resource. If you don't want to wait the 5-10 day wait time for shipping that Apple has listed for the Retina iPad mini, head on over to Apple-Tracker.com and see which store has what in stock… which.store.has …well, you know what I mean. The site currently has the options to find stock of the iPhone 5S, iPad Air, and the Retina iPad mini. Pick the device from the main screen, choose the model from the drop-down menus, and then enter your zip code and you will get a handy grid of all the stores in your area and whether or not they have the model you selected. Looks like I may be headed to Union Square today after all.
After this morning's excitement following the release of the Retina iPad mini, I found myself in downtown San Francisco today and thought I'd swing by the Apple Store to see how crazy the new mini's sales were. When I got there, it was strangely quiet, "quiet" being a relative term when used to describe the Union Square store which is almost always full of tourists, business travelers, and just about anyone else you can think of.
Without any kind of fanfare, or even a spooky little girl to tip us off, Apple snuck the new Retina iPad mini into the online store shortly after midnight PST. No sign of even the store being down as I alluded to earlier. It remains to be seen whether the devices actually hit retail shelves when the stores open later today, but you can certainly order one, with the longest wait times listed as 5-10 days. Currently if you select the Personal Pickup option, it looks like none of the stores have availability, but they may just be because it won't show until opening hours.
With the release of the iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, and the iPad Air out of the way, people can focus on the next big thing; the new iPad mini. Many sources have been suggesting a November 21st release for the smaller tablet or a possible delay of another week to hit the stores on Black Friday, but now some info has come to light that may suggest that we will see our new little friend tomorrow morning. Yes, that's right, TOMORROW MORNING! Earlier today, MacRumors posted an image of a tweet from user @puntomacrd which showed the date November 12, 2013 for the new iPad mini's debut on Apple's own service provider web portal. (more…)
Now THIS is the thing you've been hankering for.
Per Macworld, Apple announced a new iPad mini with Retina display at its press event on Tuesday, the company also lowering prices for the original iPad mini, giving its smaller tablet much-anticipated upgrades to its screen, processor, cameras, and more.
As hoped and expected—the new iPad mini with Retina display ups the screen resolution to Retina quality, going from 1024 by 768 pixels to 2048 by 1536 pixels at the same 7.9-inch (diagonal) screen size. This change raises the iPad mini's pixel density from 163 pixels per inch to 326 pixels per inch—a density almost identical to that of the iPhone 5s.
The new mini gets some upgrades on the inside, as well. Whereas the original mini used the same dual-core A5 processor, at the same clock speed, as the two-and-a-half-year-old iPad 2, the new mini line bumps its horsepower significantly by using Apple's 64-bit A7 processor, similar to the one in the iPhone 5s. During Tuesday's media event, Apple senior vice president of worldwide marketing Phil Schiller said that the new processor makes the Retina iPad mini up to four times as fast as its predecessor for processor-intensive tasks, and up to eight times faster for graphics-intensive tasks. Like the new full-size iPad, the iPad mini with Retina display also features Apple's M7 motion coprocessor, which can monitor the device's various motion sensors (accelerometer, compass, and gyroscope) without having to wake the main processor.
The new mini also gains upgraded wireless capabilities thanks to dual Wi-Fi antennas and support for MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) technology. Apple says this change allows the new iPad mini to communicate at up to twice the bandwidth: 300 MBps (megabytes per second). The cellular-equipped versions of the new iPad mini also include expanded LTE capabilities, allowing them to work on more LTE networks around the world.
Apple has also upgraded the iPad mini's cameras slightly. Though the resolution of those cameras hasn't changed (5 megapixels for the rear camera, 1.2 megapixels for the front FaceTime HD camera), the company says the new iPad mini gains larger pixels and improved backside illumination sensors in order to take better low-light photos. In addition, the improved image-signal processing of the A7 processor should provide better overall camera performance.
Apple says the new iPad mini with Retina display offers the same 10-hour battery life as the original iPad mini. However, it appears that accomplishing this feat while adding the additional power drain of a Retina display required Apple to increase—ever so slightly—the size and weight of the new iPad mini. The new version is exactly the same height (200mm) and width (134.7mm) as the original, but it's a tiny big thicker (7.5mm compared to 7.2mm) and a little bit heavier: 331 grams versus 308 grams for the Wi-Fi model, and 341 grams versus 312 grams for the Wi-Fi + Cellular version.
The iPad mini with Retina display will be available in silver/white or Space Gray/black "later in November," according to Apple. The Wi-Fi versions will retail for US$399 for 16GB, US$499 for 32GB, US$599 for 64GB, and US$699 for 128GB—a first in that capacity for the iPad mini. Cellular versions add US$130 to each: US$529, US$629, US$729, and US$829, respectively.
By all accounts, the original iPad mini has been a big hit for Apple, even though other small tablets, such as the latest Nexus 7, have debuted with better specs or lower prices. The new iPad mini line should blunt some of that spec-sheet-based criticism.
Along with the new iPad mini units, the company is keeping the original iPad mini around—in a single configuration—as a lower-price option. Specifically, the 16GB Wi-Fi iPad mini is now priced at US$299, rather than its original price of US$329, with the Wi-Fi + Cellular version at US$429. The cellular version is available for the U.S. networks of AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon.
Apple did make one minor change to the original iPad mini: It's now available in Space Gray or Silver, rather than the original black or white. It is available now.
Both iPad mini versions (Retina and non-Retina) ship with iOS 7 installed, and—as with all devices running iOS 7—allow you to download Apple's iLife and iWork suites for iOS free of charge.
Finally, Apple announced new cases for its new Retina iPad mini. The new iPad mini Smart Cover, made of polyurethane, will sell for US$39. A new leather iPad Smart Case will cost US$69.
As always, let us know what you make of this and if Apple delivered what you wanted or if improvements could be made.
It's the leaks that make things interesting.
Per AppleInsider and AllThingsD, the date for Apple's anticipated iPad media event was leaked on Tuesday, which cited unnamed sources. The same publication has accurately shared word of Apple event dates in the past.
In addition to new iPads, the event in two weeks is also expected to focus on the company's revamped Mac Pro high-end desktop, and the forthcoming OS X Mavericks operating system update.
While the date for the event is known, its exact location has yet to be determined. Possible spots include Apple's Cupertino, Calif., campus, or the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Last year's iPad mini and fourth-generation iPad event was held in San Jose, but the company reportedly does not plan to return there this year.
The next 9.7-inch iPad is widely expected to sport a redesigned chassis that will make it look like a big iPad mini. Apple is expected to reduce the weight and thickness of its full-size iPad, and also give the device thinner side bezels.
As for the iPad mini, it's anticipated to feature a high-resolution Retina display with its second-generation model. Both devices are rumored to sport high-quality 8-megapixel rear facing cameras, equivalent with the iPhone.
Still unknown is whether either of Apple's new iPads will sport the Touch ID fingerprint sensor the company unveiled in the new iPhone 5s, but did not bring to its mid-level iPhone 5c.
The new iPads will hit the market ahead of the holiday shopping season, and at a time when traditional notebook PCs continue to struggle. Competition in the tablet space has been heating up, with Amazon's new Kindle Fire HDX, Microsoft's Surface 2, and Google's Nexus 7.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
The next-gen iPad mini may not possess the fabled Retina display, or at least the yield numbers on production may not be quite high enough yet.
Per AppleInsider, and CNET, a report published on Thursday claims Apple may not be planning to release a Retina display iPad mini alongside an expected next-generation "iPad 5" next month, citing low manufacturing volumes unsuitable for mass shipments.
According to IHS iSuppli's supply chain checks, the next-generation 9.7-inch iPad is on track for an October launch, but production of a high-resolution iPad mini is ">not yet at levels that would indicative of a simultaneous release, reports CNET.
"The Retina Mini looks less certain for that time," said IHS iSuppli's director of Tablet and Monitor Research, Rhoda Alexander. "Manufacturing volumes on that would match better with a Q114 [first quarter 2014] launch."
Alexander qualified the statement by noting Apple may introduce such a device in October with the fifth-generation iPad, but could choose to ship it at a later date.
The publication notes that, while analysts have discussed Retina panel yields, they claim mass production could be less than optimal for a 2013 launch. In either case, it appears that Apple will likely be face with supply constraints, a situation that has become increasingly familiar for the company.
Earlier this year, KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said Retina display yield issues would push back Retina iPad mini production until October. In a more recent report, the analyst predicted the "iPad 5" and "iPad mini 2" would both see release in the fourth quarter of 2013, with Apple pushing up the mini's launch date due to increased competition in the sector.
All should be revealed in the coming weeks, as Apple is rumored to be planning a special event next month to introduce a revamped tablet lineup.
Stay tuned for additional coverage and, as always, let us know what you think in the comments section.
It got some negative attention and now it's got a fix.
On Thursday, Apple released iOS 7.0.2, an updated new version of its operating system for its iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. The new operating system, which weighs in as a several hundred megabyte download, offers the following fixes and changes:
– Fixes bugs that could allow someone to bypass the Lock screen passcode.
– Reintroduces a Greek keyboard option for passcode entry.
iOS 7.0.2 is available via iTunes or Over-The-Air updating and requires an iPhone 4, 4S, 5, iPad 2, third or fourth-gen iPad, iPod Touch 4th Gen or iPad Mini to install and run.
If you've tried the updates and have any feedback to offer, let us know in the comments.

How soon before most personal computing can be done with a phone? With a 64-bit iPhone, perhaps quite soon. Imagine the phone as your take everywhere computer:
"Never", you say, the screen's too small, even a phablet. When you need a better display, just pull out your touchscreen. It would look like an iPad or iPad Mini only thinner, lighter and cheaper. No CPU or storage. It would connect to your phone via Wi-fi and act as a display and touchscreen input device with a camera, microphone and speaker. It would be indistinguishable from an iPad, so long as your phone is nearby and turned on. Apple is almost there with AirPlay.
Let's say you do a lot of writing, then you would have a screen with hinged keyboard and trackpad. It would look like a MacBook Air only thinner, lighter and cheaper. Again, no CPU or storage. iOS would recognize the device and work more like OS X. This would require some additional code for iOS. Call it "iOS X". This would require 64 bits, no question.
Go to work where they have BYOD. On your desk, you would have a display, keyboard and mouse that looked just like an iMac. Again, iOS would need to recognize the larger display, keyboard and mouse and scale up. Imagine an iPhone 6s sporting a processor that is truly "Desktop Class".
A future iPhone and iOS working this way could dominate the enterprise. Security would be awesome. Your desktop computer would cease to be a computer once you leave work with your phone. Laptop or tablet stolen, no security issues. Of course, the phone is secured by Touch ID and a new phone could be issued and restored from an online backup in no time. Only one computing and communications device per employee. Personal computing could not be more personal. No synchronizing devices. Minimal IT support. Lower cost.
Cloud storage and larger onboard memory would be key to this working.No more costs associated with deploying Microsoft Office or maintaining complicated desktop and laptop operating systems.There would still be a market for powerful desktop and laptop computers, but most employees would simply need a phone as their computer and some specialized input/output device mimicking a tablet, laptop or desktop computer. The phone would of course remain an expensive high-end phone. The upgrade cycle would be brilliant, keep your old IO devices and get a new desktop or laptop computer every two years by simply standing in line for the latest and greatest iPhone, subsidized by your carrier. Apple does make most of its profit on phones and this will sell more of them.
Sure, it would cannibalize iPad and Mac sales by growing a market for these IO devices and not just for the enterprise. Kids, grandparents and folks who just don't need serious computing power could simplify their life by augmenting their colorful consumer phone with one of these devices. Consumer versions that are even cheaper and clad in plastic. If you need a phone right now, get a smart phone and you no longer need a camera, music player or GPS device. Get an iPhone in a year or two and you will no longer need a tablet, a laptop or a desktop computer. Wearable computing, no problem. Dumb down iOS for a tiny screen and just a few buttons.
A post-PC world on steroids.
One more thing: Home entertainment and in-car entertainment.
Same paradigm and one more reason to buy an iPhone.

Fore More Years
Enough already with the jokes about Obama playing golf.
Golf season has returned, and with it jokes about the president's obsession with the game. Newt Gingrich has accused President Obama of cowering behind his putter in crisis. "It strikes me that the more difficult [the world] gets, the more the president golfs and the more the president hides," he said.
Golf jokes are a hardy presidential perennial. Democrats made so much fun of Eisenhower's frequent outings that Kennedy had to hide his regular golf matches for fear of catching the same grief. (Kennedy kept many things hidden.) Presidential golf jokes may be the laziest of all political humor, with the possible exception of jokes about presidential vacation time. Jokes about presidential appearance are also lazy, but they're just cheap shots: Golf jokes are not only intellectually lazy, but like teleprompter jokes, they encourage the audience to be lazy, too. No one has to bother thinking about what a president actually does.
Why do we care about this dumb joke? Because it is politically potent. You'll probably be hearing variations of it a lot during the 2012 campaign. More important, we should care because it exposes a larger problem in the way we view presidents and evaluate candidates. For presidents who can never escape their job, we should encourage golf playing, not mock it.
A president's critics always go for the golf joke because it irritates people at a gut level. And the gut level is where you need to go if you want to pick up votes. To say a president is wrong on some policy issue or another is only so damaging. To suggest he is so clueless that he's lining up his putt while the world burns is what really gets a voter outraged. If you're a working-class voter, you may even get irritated that a guy getting paid with your taxes is playing what's seen as a rich man's sport.
Gingrich, apparently unconcerned about drawing attention to his own past extracurricular activities, adds a special twist: Obama is a coward. The only evidence he needs for this charge is that someone (it doesn't have to be him, though he is happy to oblige) accuse the president of not doing everything he can on a given issue, and a few pictures of the president golfing or on vacation. And these two pieces of evidence—like "Hail to the Chief" and the presidential seal—come with the job.
Gingrich hopes that golf will become a symbol for a vast catalog of problems with Obama. Every time you see Obama golf, Gingrich wants you get enraged. If things really work out for Republicans, golf will start coming up in David Axelrod's focus groups, and maybe Obama's advisers will have to suggest to the president that he stop playing.
Obama should resist—and, regardless of party, we should all want him to. The presidency is a prison. Your every move is watched and tended by the Secret Service, your opponents, and the media. Even when you're "having fun," you do so in quotation marks. At parties or a baseball game, you're watched to see if you're having a good time. If you play basketball, your on-court demeanor is analyzed for clues to your leadership style. You don't drive. You can't keep a diary (they can be subpoenaed). You can't smoke (the kids are watching). You can't take a stroll through your old neighborhood. All of this distorts the mind.

If Everyone Had Voted, Would Bubba and Dubya Have Won?
Sides, John, Schickler, Eric, Citrin, Jack, Presidential Studies Quarterly
Raymond Wolfinger's seminal research has established with elegance and precision the demographic and institutional bases of voter turnout in the United States. With these results in hand, Wolfinger turned to the significant "so what?" question, probing the implications of higher levels of participation for electoral outcomes and subsequent policy making. Wolfinger and Rosenstone (1980) and Highton and Wolfinger (2001) provocatively conclude that outcomes in recent American presidential elections would not have changed if everyone had voted and that, as a whole, the preferences of nonvoters are well represented by the opinions of voters (Highton and Wolfinger 2001, 179, 192).
This conclusion challenges much conventional wisdom. Because the poor and ethnic minorities are less likely to vote and because the Democrats have been the favored party among these groups, there is a pervasive belief that higher levels of turnout would favor the Democrats. Democratic politicians, prodded by their newly mobilized constituents, would then adopt bold policies that would reduce economic inequality (Lijphart 1997). For leftist dreamers, compulsory voting would mean a permanent Democratic majority that ultimately could bring social and economic democracy to America. But leaving aside such a utopian scenario, at a minimum there is evidence that the preferences of representatives better correspond to those of voters than nonvoters (Griffin and Newman 2005) and that states with greater lower-class turnout have more generous welfare policies (Hill, Leighley, and Hinton-Anderson 1995), suggesting that less than full turnout does have consequences for the quality of representation and the content of public policy in the United States.
Studying the implications of higher turnout entails a "what if" analysis that necessarily involves assumptions about how nonvoters would behave. Wolfinger and Rosenstone's skeptical take on the implications of higher turnout rests on survey research regarding the gap between the opinions of nonvoters and voters. Highton and Wolfinger replicate the analysis and extend it to respond to the argument that with universal turnout, the content of electoral campaigns would change to engage the hitherto neglected priorities of nonvoters. They show that despite the class differences between voters and nonvoters, the "grievances and aspirations" of the two groups are very similar and that the poorer, more heavily minority nonvoting group is, if anything, less class conscious (Highton and Wolfinger 2001, 187-88). (1) This raises doubts about whether low-income nonvoters would always be motivated by economic concerns and therefore consistently cast a pocketbook vote for the Democrats.
Relying on aggregate data rather than public opinion polling, DeNardo (1980) echoes these arguments. He confirms that the electoral advantage of higher turnout for Democrats in congressional races is neither large nor universal. This advantage depends not just on the strength of the party-class linkage but also on the election-specific factors that cause peripheral voters to defect. On the assumption that nonvoters are less likely to be strong partisans, higher turnout would hurt Democratic candidates whenever short-run forces favor the Republicans because defection rates would be higher among their newly mobilized partisans (DeNardo 1980; Martinez and Gill 2005).
The main conclusion of research on the relationship between turnout and electoral outcomes in congressional (DeNardo 1980; Wattenberg and Brians 2002; Wuffle and Collet 1997), Senate (Citrin, Schickler, and Sides 2003; Nagel and McNulty 1996), and presidential elections (Brunell and DiNardo 2004; DeNardo 1980; Highton and Wolfinger 2001; Martinez and Gill 2005; Nagel and McNulty 2000) is that the impact of higher turnout is both variable and usually small. In most cases, Democrats gain from higher turnout, and even a small shift in the partisan distribution of the vote can change the result in close elections. …

St. John's Episcopal Church marks its 150th anniversary this year. The congregation started out quite modestly in 1859 as a Sunday School on Federal Street. It was at the home of one of the sisters of famous American lyricist Stephen Collins Foster.
The members eventually built a church on Wood Street, near where the Nathaniel Jones Federal Courthouse now stands. That church burned down in 1896, and this structure at 323 Wick Ave. was built. Tragically, the original architect, William H. Wood, died shortly after beginning work. The project was then undertaken by Edward L. Ford. The first services at this new building were in May 1898.
The church boasts several distinct design styles — from Norman Gothic, with the fortresslike rough-cut exterior; to the Romanesque touch with the rounded sanctuary and windows. The English-style architecture is denoted by the wooden beams and the two gargoyles poised over the north and south tips of the front entrance.
St. John's is breathtaking inside, housing 35 stained-glass windows designed by the Tiffany Studios of New York, the Connick Studios of Boston and the Willet Stained Glass Studios of Philadelphia. Each window tells a story, whether of a biblical nature or a community one. The windows in the clerestory tells Youngstown's story with depictions of labor management, engineering, ore and coal mining and barges on the river.
The Schlicker organ has no fewer than 3,000 pipes and is used to good measure, especially during St. John's wonderful Christmas and New Year celebrations and at the Boar's Head Festival in the early part of January each year.
Symbolism reigns supreme in this treasure of a church. In the olden days, few people could read. People learned of the Bible through stories and drawings. St. John's Episcopal Church speaks volumes, from its floors to its rafters.
The tragedy of the outrageous acts of the national leadership is that parishes like this will decline and many will be lost. Attendance is the parish was 160 in 2003 (the year Gene Robinson was made bishop) and is now ~115. The diocese of Ohio has lost 23.3% of membership in the past decade and is going down, down, down. It will get worse. The liberals are making life untenable for those that hold to orthodox Christianity. The process of conservatives leaving, emboldening the liberals to take on more "innovations" causing more conservatives to leave is now unstoppable. Ms Schori's lawsuits only pours oil on the flames. They have eliminated the entire evangelism budget but the lawyer's fees are paid in full. The denomination is dead.
The life of St. John's (and many other churches of various denominations) is in meeting the needs of God's people whoever they may be. We carry out God's mission in Youngstown by feeding the hungry, spiritually and physically. We differ in politics and opinions, but we come together at God's table and work together in ministry to the hungry and needy, at our own site and with other agencies. That's what really matters!

Kazuchika Okada rejects WWE
Earlier in the year, rumors spread that Kazuchika Okada was a potential candidate to join the developmental program in WWE. During a recent interview with Rolling Stones, he adamantly states that he has absolutely no desire to join the company. He wants to remain loyal to New Japan, where he is set to be the biggest star in the promotion for the next decade. He will also continue to work with ROH.
September 23, 2015
Okada to WWE
Earlier in the month, Kazuchika Okada did a tryout for WWE when the company was doing a quick tour of Japan. There has not been a lot of rumblings about offering him a developmental contract. With New Japan recently announcing that they are going to be sending their stars to tour with smaller promotions, there is a chance that Okada does not join NXT.

Russian Borrowers' Credit Performance Hits Two-Year Low, According To FICO And NBKI Index
MOSCOW, Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- FICO (NYSE:FICO), the leading provider of analytics and decision management technology, and the National Bureau of Credit Histories (NBKI), Russia's leading credit bureau, today released data showing that Russian borrowers' credit repayments fell in the third quarter, putting the FICO® Credit Health Index at the lowest point since October 2010. The FICO Credit Health Index fell 2 points from last quarter, to 111 points. This was the second drop this year. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111010/CG83314LOGO)The FICO Credit Health Index measures the overall credit health of the country, based on the percentage of consumer loans and credit cards reported to NBKI that are delinquent by more than 60 days. Since October 2009, when this "bad rate" was 11.28 percent, the index steadily improved until January 2012, when just 7.05 percent of Russian credit accounts were delinquent. At the October 2012 reading, the index represents a bad rate of 7.76 percent. "Despite the drop in the third quarter, the FICO Credit Health Index still reflects relatively high quality of credit behavior," said NBKI CEO Alexander Vikulin. "More borrowers are showing short-term delinquencies in their credit obligations, but the overall quality of credit portfolios is strong." All regions for October 2012 have shown a drop in their index since January 2012. The biggest drop occurred in Dalnevostochny, which fell from 122 to 111 last quarter. The Centralnyi and Privoljskii regions contain the largest credit-active populations, and both regions outperformed the total population for October 2012 and the average total population index since October 2008. "The FICO Credit Health Index fell only slightly, and Russian borrowers continue to show positive behavior," said Evgeni Shtemanetyan, who directs FICO's operations in Russia. "However, this year has seen a change in the index's direction, and we advise credit organizations to monitor their customers closely, and review their credit approval strategies." FICO and NBKI share this data with Russian lenders to improve their understanding of the market, and help them safely extend credit to consumers. Russia is one of the fastest-growing credit markets. According to NBKI, banks' and financial organizations' credit portfolios grew by 25% during the first half of 2012. About FICO FICO (NYSE:FICO), formerly known as Fair Isaac, delivers superior predictive analytics solutions that drive smarter decisions. The company's groundbreaking use of mathematics to predict consumer behavior has transformed entire industries and revolutionized the way risk is managed and products are marketed.

text: Shlapentokh, Alexandra Hilbert's tenth problem. Diophantine classes and extensions to global fields. (English) Zbl 1196.11166 New Mathematical Monographs 7. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press (ISBN 0-521-83360-4/hbk). xii, 320 p. $ 99.00; £ 55.00; $ 79.00/e-book (2007). Hilbert asked (in his so-called "tenth problem") for an effective procedure to decide whether or not a given Diophantine equation has a solution in integers. We now understand "effective" as "computable on a Turing machine". Since the spectacular negative solution of Hilbert's Tenth Problem by Davis, Putnam, Matijasevich and Robinson, much interesting research has happened in this field at the interface of logic and number theory, most of which is concerned with the analogous problem for rings of integers in number fields, for the field of rational numbers, and more general global fields, including function fields. The results and proofs have required more and more advanced number theory and arithmetic geometry, in recent years centered around the arithmetic of elliptic curves. This book is the first research monograph that is completely devoted to these new techniques. The author should be congratulated on her effort to write a notationally and conceptually consistent book with results and methods that were previously scattered throughout the literature. The main topics discussed are the analogues of Hilbert's Tenth Problem for rings of $S$-integers in number fields and function fields (both with $S$ finite and infinite), for global function fields, and relations to Mazur's conjecture. The book should be on the desk of every researcher in the field.Reviewer: Gunther Cornelissen (Utrecht) Cited in 8 Documents MSC:11U05Decidability related to number theory11-02Research monographs (number theory)11D99Diophantine equations03D35Undecidability; degrees of sets of sentencesKeywords:Hilbert's tenth problem; undecidability; Diophantine equations BibTeX

Imperial SS '14
12 Mar. 2014
Imperial records 154 million Euro (+30%) and buys two companies
Imperial, a leading Italian fast fashion company, has disclosed its annual report for 2013, registering sales over 154 million Euro (+ 30% compared with 2012) and a +18.5% EBITDA. In Italy, its sales reached 82.5 million Euro in 2013 (+25% compared with 2012), while it records 40.6 million Euro Europe wide (+69% compared with 2012) and 31.4 million Euro outside of Europe (+9% over 2012).
Further this success, Imperial has also become majority owner (60%) of two Italian fashion companies, both based in Signa, near Florence. D. Pure Srl is a women's fashion manufacturer, specialized in the sportive fashion segment aimed at 15-30 year olds. Dixie Srl operates 14 stores in the retail sector, mostly based in the Tuscany and Lazio regions, in Central Italy.
Imperial's investment in their new ownership (7.5 million Euro), will support the company's growth, covering a wider market. Further, the brand will be able to offer purely Made-in-Italy products, which are coveted in foreign markets.
Adriano Aere, president of Imperial, commented: "The results we have achieved are truly incredible, given the present international economic situation. The acquisition of these two companies will support our company's development, maintaining its leadership in Italy's fast fashion market. It can also help us becoming a reference point on an international level."
Imperial also acquired 1.000 square meters of retail space for the Dixie brand inside Bologna's Centergross, which is located directly in front of Imperial's offices.
Imperial Fashion was founded by Adriano Aere and Emilia Giberti, in 1976. The company produces over six million items annually in Europe, Asia and America. Fifty percent of its production is exported.

I had been a patient for some time, but drifted away. when another dispensary closed, the budtender there started working here, so I started coming back. however, the budtender I encountered today (9/7/15) was rude beyond belief and very impatient... on top of that, she had a very condescending tone when I tried to learn more about the products. sorry I wasted your time today, I can promise you it won't happen again."
