What is the biggest challenge facing the New Berlin schools and how would you address it?
A challenge facing the New Berlin schools is the much needed facility updates and finding creative ways to finance those updates. I would explore options to fund our facility needs while being fiscally conservative with the money entrusted to the School Board by the taxpayers of New Berlin.
What are the best reasons for people to vote for you?
I highly value education and understand the importance of having our children well prepared for success in college and careers. I believe that we need to retain local control of our curriculum and re-evaluate the Common Core curriculum in math and reading to determine if it is the best direction for our district before the decision to adopt the standards in science and social studies is made. I am committed to grow a successful and effective learning environment for all students in our community.

Education: USAF missile systems analyst course and various technical and management courses throughout my career
Political history: elected to the New Berlin School Board for three terms (nine years)
Community involvement: board of directors of the New Berlin Soap Box Derby Commission; scoutmaster; member of many New Berlin School District volunteer advisory boards prior to election to the board; member of the American Legion
Family: wife Anne; sons, Alan 22, and Andrew, 19, who both grew up in the New Berlin schools, and daughter, Amy 18, a senior at New Berlin West High School
Contact: email@example.com; phone (262) 679-5402
What is the biggest challenge facing the New Berlin schools and how would you address it?
There is no single biggest challenge facing our district at this time. The district is well run, fiscally sound and our student body as a whole has very high achievement levels. Most of our buildings have been updated or replaced. We need to continue to provide an excellent education that meets the needs of each of our students. Additional opportunities to meet individual student needs will come from community collaboration as well as from other educational organizations such as WCTC. We also need to complete this round of facilities updates by completing needed work at the Eisenhower campus.
What are the best reasons for people to vote for you?
I have proven results as a member of the Board of Education in moving this district forward. We have done away with most of our deferred maintenance, have replaced schools and have right-sized our facilities and programs in a way to be fiscally sustainable. I ask each of you for your support to allow me to continue in your service.
Age: 41
Address: 17240 W. Rogers Drive
Years in district: 10
Employer/occupation: sales
Education: associate degree marketing-WCTC
Political history: New Berlin School Board 2008-present; served as president since 2011 and vice president (2009, 2010)
Community involvement: U.S Navy veteran, New Berlin School Board, Moving New Berlin Forward, Brookfield Christian Reformed Church, Poplar Creek Church
Family: wife, Tracy; daughters, Morgan, 10, and Melissa, 5, and son, Matthew, 9
Contact: (262) 784-5663; firstname.lastname@example.com
What is the biggest challenge facing the New Berlin schools and how would you address it?
The biggest challenge is the budget. Every year the district sees a reduction in state aid and an increase in costs. I look at the school district budget the same way as my household budget; we need to live within our means. My goal is to balance facility needs, attract and retain the highest quality educators to put in front of our students to prepare them for college and careers while being good fiscal stewards of New Berlin tax dollars.
What are the best reasons for people to vote for you?
As a parent of three children in the district, I want to provide the best possible education for my children as well as the children of the district. I am very proud of the many improvements that the district has made in recent years, but there is more work to be done. Under my leadership, we have begun the work of making necessary improvements to the schools throughout the district and to district communications. I am eager to continue the progress by working with the community, staff and students to make this the best school district possible.

School Library Journal - School Library JournalGr 4-8-An introduction to the realm of caves that describes how the different types are formed, their characteristics, what lives in them, spelunking, and preservation. Caves used as examples include Carlsbad Caverns and Mammoth Cave. Each section begins with a general introduction and is followed by detailed descriptions, complete with subheadings and highlighted key words, which are listed in the glossarized index. Hands-on activities are suggested in boxed sidebars. While the writing style lends itself to upper-elementary readers, the text is in-depth enough to make the title of interest to junior-high students as well. Breathtaking full-color photographs appear throughout; however, scattered cartoons of young spelunkers are distracting. Otherwise, the book is sure to have wide appeal both for pleasure readers, report writers, and teachers doing earth-science units.- Douglas K. Dillon, Lakota Freshman School, West Chester, OH

Comments Thread For: Nonito Donaire is Falling in Place To Over For Pacquiao
As the incredible career of pound for pound king, Fighter of the Decade and eight division world champion Manny Pacquiao winds down, millions of Filipinos and fight fans around the world continue to wonder as to who will become another Manny Pacquiao.
The overwhelming consensus, especially among knowledgeable boxing people which includes the media, is that in our present generation at least there can only be one Manny Pacquiao.

After Pacman retires,
There ought to be someone,
Who will take his place;
And Donaire, is the One.
He's got the speed and power;
Can move around the ring well;
And can talk in English fluently!

"he noticed that shoulder roll which Floyd Mayweather Jr. is famous for was actually perfected by Elorde in the 1960s"
Ronnie is a borderline troll... Ezzard Charles and Jersey Joe Walcoot were using refined versions of the shoulder roll 20 years before Elorde. Elorde is a great fighter without the attribution of false accolades... Kill that noise.

Of Course Manny will retire without taking the Random Blood/Urine testing like te scumbag that he is. Until he does random testing he will FOREVER be questioned by Millions including myself. TAKE THE TEST! Even without a Mayweather fight, take it.

On a pfp level, Donaire was always more skilled than Pacman. He simply lived in his shadows. I hope he gets the respect he deserves in the end. Plus he's beaten prime fighters a career over, that is all.

How To Make Your Own Coconut Milk and Coconut Milk Shampoo
Way back in 2012(!), I posted a "recipe" for a Coconut Milk Shampoo that proved to be VERY popular! Apparently I wasn't the only one looking for an alternative to store-bought shampoo. While this post got a lot of views, the reviews of this particular recipe were mixed. Even my own initial opinion of the mixture changed the more I used it. I found that I couldn't use it every time I shampooed because it left my hair feeling too "coated". My suspicion was that the castile soap might be the ... Continue Reading

Giant Rats Attack, Eat two babies in South Africa
Giant rats as big as cats have destroyed and eaten two babies in separate attacks in South Africa's run-down townships on the same day last week, according to Mail Online, an UK based media.
An African Giant Pouch rat is watched by his handler as it identifies a positive tuberculosis (TB) sample at a laboratory in Sokoine University for Agriculture in Morogoro, Tanzania, January 31, 2006. The African Giant Pouch rat, Cricetomys gambianus, also known as the Gambian pouch rat, is a nocturnal pouched rat native to Africa. It is the largest rat in the world, growing to be as big as a raccoon and weighing up to 4kg (8.8 pounds).
South Africa Police
The deaths are believed to be caused by deadly rat attacks in two different locations in the nation.
An infant girl was destroyed in Soweto township near Johannesburg and three-year-old Lunathi Dwadwa was destroyed in the Khayelitsha slum outside Cape Town.
The infant girl was found dead after being attacked by rats while her high-school teenage mother was out with friends.
The giant rats left gruesome rat bites after chewing off the right side of the babys face.
The local police have arrested the young mother on charges of culpable homicide and negligence. She is now released on bail.
On Sunday night Lunathi was found dead as she was sleeping in her parent's makeshift bed. The parents did not even hear their young daughters scream when the giant rats were supposedly attacking her.
Only after the little one died, they came to realize what had happened. Baffled parents conclude that it must have been done by rats and commented: I can't forget how ugly my child looked after her eyes were ripped out. She was eaten from her eyebrows to her cheeks, her other eye was hanging by a piece of flesh, Mail Online cited Lunathi's parents as saying.
African Giant Pouched Rats, the alleged suspects in the baby attacks, are native to sub-Saharan Africa and the biggest of all rats in the world. Adults can grow up to three feet long and produce up to 50 young a year. They thrive in the filthy conditions just like any other rats.
Occasionally, these rats are trained to detect explosives, such as mines, as their acute smell sense is quite effective to such a hazardous task. However, its sharp front teeth, which grow over an inch long, may end humans' lives.

Extortion can be an unfortunate reality for those doing business in Latin America. Rural highway shakedowns and intimidation by military personnel can and does occur in places like Venezuela. Underpaid and corrupt local police in Mexico sometimes invent violations just to request payments to look the other way. Immigration officials in Nicaragua might threaten to use their own needles to administer a required yellow fever shot if a traveler without her vaccination papers is not willing to otherwise pay a bribe.
This means that individuals working in the region can face difficult FCPA compliance questio... Read more

First US-Operated Hotel Opens in CubaHotel & Resort
The U.S State Department said this morning it has reached an agreement with Cuba to resume commercial air travel between the two countries, ending more than a half-century embargo on regularly scheduled flights.
The announcement comes on the one-year anniversary of President Obama's announcement that the United States had normalized diplomatic relations with Cuba. In the year since, the two nations have re-opened embassies in Havana and Washington, resumed direct mail service last month, and have met numerous times to negotiate such issues both delicate and sublime.
Including regularly scheduled commercial air travel.
"This arrangement will continue to allow charter operations and establish scheduled air service, which will facilitate an increase in authorized travel, enhance traveler choices and promote people-to-people links between the two countries," the State Dept. said.
So you won't have to charter your way to Cuba, or fly from third-party counties such as Canada and Mexico that did not have a ban on air travel as the U.S. did. However, don't look on Expedia any time soon for a flight into Havana.
There are still restrictions from a political standpoint, and some major hurdles to overcome from an aviation standpoint, including that pesky U.S. law that still technically bars travel to Cuba for tourism – although travelers have overcome that for years by taking an education-based charter trip, for instance.
U.S. travelers still must meet at least one of 12 criteria to visit the country, such as having family on the island nation, or being Cuban-American themselves.
"While U.S. law continues to prohibit travel to Cuba for tourist activities, a stronger civil aviation relationship will facilitate growth in authorized travel between our two countries— a critical component of the President's policy toward Cuba," the State Dept. said.
The Federal Aviation Administration also needs to become involved to make sure certain criteria and safety and security regulations are met. Experts say that could take three to six months before the first U.S. traveler can just get on a regularly scheduled flight.
Cuba, as well, will want certain regulations in place. For one, it wants its own national airline, Cubana, to have reciprocal rights on travel. And early indications are that Havana will allow between 10 and 30 daily flights to land in Cuba.
But U.S. airlines say they are ready, and American, Delta, United, JetBlue and Southwest have already publicly expressed interest in flying to Cuba.
"Interest in Cuba has reached levels not seen for a generation," Scott Laurence, senior vice president airline planning for JetBlue, told CNN. "We will review the terms of the agreement to understand how JetBlue can expand from charter service to regularly scheduled service."
in a statement released today, ASTA CEO Zane Kerby said: "ASTA congratulates the State Department on reaching an agreement with Cuba that brings us closer to restoring the right of all Americans to fly to Cuba, which has been denied them for far too long. ASTA member travel agents believe that Americans ought to be allowed to travel across the globe without restriction, allowing them to act as ambassadors of freedom and American values abroad. ASTA estimates at least two million additional Americans could visit Cuba by 2017 if Congress votes for a full lifting of travel restrictions before the end of this year. While U.S. law still prohibits travel to Cuba for tourist activities, we are encouraged by the continued progress made by the Obama Administration, and we strongly urge Congress to fully repeal the travel ban once and for all. Resuming commercial air travel will benefit American consumers and the ASTA travel agents who serve them. ASTA continues to support an increase in travelers' choices to Cuba and a full and complete lifting of travel restrictions."

The RaboDirect Club Road National Cycling Championships return to Hawke's Bay roads this week.
The last time the champs were held in Hastings District was in 2010 when they were based at the Matapiro Community Hall at Crownthorpe.
The courses to be used for the 2012 champs are at two separate venues. The individual time trials will be held on Thursday May 3rd, from a base at the Waipawa United Events Centre in Coronation Park Waipawa, while the road races are again centred on the Matapiro Hall and run from Friday May 4th till Sunday May 6th.
The racing involves men and women competitors in junior, masters and elite grades who race over a variety of distances, dependant on their age and ability. The highlight of the champs will be Sunday morning's road race for the elite and under 23 grades over six laps of the Matapiro circuit. This will involve the competitor's riding over 174 kilometres on undulating country roads.
Hastings Mayor Lawrence Yule says, "The club nationals provide competitors with exciting racing on a variety of quiet, rural roads around the region. It is very pleasing that this event has returned to Hastings again so soon and it will again bring major economic benefits to the regions accommodation providers and retailers."
"The event was a great success when it was held in Hastings in 2010 and I commend the management of Ramblers Cycling Club for once again putting their hands up to host the event. Thanks also to members of Cycling HB who will organize the individual time trial and the many people who have volunteered their time to help run the events."
Race schedule:
Thursday 3rd May, individual time trial: Waipawa United Events Centre, Coronation Park, Tikokino Road, Waipawa. 15km, 25km and 40km races
Friday 4th – Sun 6th May, road races: Matapiro Community Hall, Matapiro Road. Races vary in length – elite and under 23-year-olds will ride 174 kilometres which is 6 laps of the Matapiro circuit.

Murder, justice and a cracking tale turned into a soapbox rant: CHRISTOPHER STEVENS reviews last weekend's TV
Common (BBC1) Rating:
The Nation's Favourite Motown Song (ITV) Rating:
On a hot August evening in 1845, two drunken delivery drivers were racing their horse-drawn carts along a track in Staffordshire.
The carts were laden with earthenware from the potteries, and the men were bellowing abuse at other road users who shouted at them to slow down.
Half a mile past the tollgate at Draycott-in-the-Clay, on the Derbyshire border, one of the carts hit a pedestrian, an elderly man called James Durose, killing him.
TV show Common, written by Brookside and Cracker author Jimmy McGovern, attacked the fundamental principal of justice known as joint enterprise
Both the drivers, John Swindall and James Osborne, blamed the other. There were no witnesses, so no one could be sure which cart had caused the accident.
But the judge, Lord Chief Baron Pollock, was a wise fellow and took the view that the men were equally guilty.
Either could have knocked Durose down, but they could not be allowed to escape justice by hiding behind lies.
In any case, they had been recklessly, drunkenly urging each other to race.
Both Swindall and Osborne were found guilty of manslaughter and jailed.
The case established a precedent that still stands in English law today, and in other legal systems from the U.S. to Australia.
When several people are involved in a serious crime, it doesn't matter who wielded the knife or pulled the trigger: all are guilty.
The legal term is common purpose or joint enterprise. And it is this ancient principle of justice that the crime drama Common (BBC1) attacked.
The Penny Falls machine, beloved of childhood trips to the seaside pier, makes a surprisingly good device for the celebrity quiz Tipping Point: Lucky Stars (ITV).
Now let's see a show based on good old-fashioned bingo.
That would be fun!
Writer Jimmy McGovern, best known for the soap Brookside and the psychological detective series Cracker, believes the law is unfair to criminals.
Better that all should go free, he thinks, than one innocent lamb might be treated harshly.
Whatever his politics, McGovern does tell a rattling good story.
Common started off in panic and chaos, with three lads running to a car, cursing each other over a crime that has gone wrong.
The whole story leaked out, like blood between fingers from a stab wound.
During a gangland dust-up, one of the youths (they all looked like the Gallagher brothers from Oasis) stuck a knife in an innocent bystander because 'he was looking at me'.
Horrified at being involved in a murder, the 17-year-old driver, Johnjo, went to the police.
He was charged, and so were his mates, with common purpose murder — despite Johnjo's pleas that he thought the other three had gone out for a pizza, not a knife fight.
Naive and easily led, Johnjo deserved sympathy. And he probably didn't deserve five years in jail, especially as he had handed himself in.
But that seemed to be the fault of his smarmy lawyer, not the 170-year-old law.
The law did its job well: it prevented the killer weaselling out of his punishment by accusing his mates.
McGovern didn't care about balancing his story, so long as it gave him a chance to mount a soapbox.
One of the thugs' mothers, played by Game Of Thrones' Michelle Fairley, did his ranting for him: 'This joint enterprise law? It's not about innocent or guilty. It's about getting working-class scum off the streets. That's how they see our kids — scum, scallies.'
What's the alternative, though — letting every murdering toerag walk free?
If you needed cheering up after that diatribe, The Nation's Favourite Motown Song (ITV) was just the ticket.
Smokey Robinson, the singer of such classics as Tracks of Our Tears, was the highlight of The Nation's Favourite Motown Song on ITV
Any documentary that finds an excuse to show vintage reels of The Supremes and the Jackson Five must be all right.
There were some odd omissions from this Top 20 round-up, such as Barrett Strong's Money and Stevie Wonder's Superstition, but the producers got one thing right.
The Number One was Marvin Gaye's I Heard It Through The Grapevine, which still has the power to raise a shiver after a thousand hearings.
Best of the interviewees was Smokey Robinson, the genius behind so many beautiful songs, from Tracks Of My Tears to I Second That Emotion — another song inexplicably left off the list.
Smokey has done something rather strange to his face and he now looks like an embalmed maiden aunt. But what a voice!

Amazon.com sees record holiday sales
Amazon.com over the holiday season saw more than 4 million orders placed in one day, with Apple's iPod and Canon's Powershot Digital Elph cameras among the top selling consumer electronics items. The company said it again had its "best ever" sales, shipping more than 99 percent of its orders in time to meet holiday deadlines internationally, according to the Associated Press. Amazon.com also sold more than 1,000 Xbox 360 game consoles in 29 seconds as part of a promotional deal, offering the media devices for one-third of the regular retail price. Top-selling DVD titles included 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' -- which is available online via the iTunes Music Store for purchase and download -- as well as several book titles such as Barack Obama's 'The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream."
Apple retail beats Tiffany & Co.
Apple retail stores sell more per square foot than Best Buy or Tiffany & Co., according to one research report. Apple stores raked in $4,032 per square foot annually, while retail chain Best Buy made $930 and luxury retailer Tiffany & Co. produced $2,666 during the same time period. "This may be as much an indicator that Apple's store placement is better than Tiffany's,� said Enderle Group analyst Rob Enderle. Best Buy makes around $38 million annually via its retail space -- which are on average seven times as large as Apple stores typically measuring under 6,000 square feet, according to the Red Herring. "If you're measuring a store in terms of production per store, that's pretty impressive," said Enderle. "That should be a wakeup for Best Buy."
Apple wins hybrid mouse, auto resize patents
The U.S. Patent & Trademark Office today published Apple's newly granted patent for a 'Hybrid low power computer mouse' as well as a 'Method and system for automatically resizing and repositioning windows in response to changes in display.' The former describes an ultra low power computer mouse with an optical tracking engine and an inertial tracking engine that cooperate to provide velocity data to a computing device. The latter invention relates to the automatic repositioning and/or resizing of utility windows in response to actions that affect the view or content of the windows on a display.
Windows Vista to see glitzy NYC debut
Microsoft intends a high-profile launch of its upcoming Windows Vista OS similar to that of its predecessors, according to a report by the Seattle Times. Scheduled for January 29th, the event -- dubbed "The Wow Starts Now" -- will combine a press luncheon at Cipriani's in downtown Manhattan with a public event at 1515 Broadway in Times Square to celebrate the launch of the upgrade. The party will likely eclipse the November 30th launch of Vista for business, which was marked by Microsoft's ringing the NASDAQ bell. The spectacle will represent the end of a five year saga for the beleaguered Windows XP replacement, which missed shipping in time for the all-important holiday season and prompted a last-minute upgrade coupon program offering upgrade discounts to hesitant buyers.
Best Buy to offer $15,000 home integration system
Best Buy is planning to offer ConnectedLife.Home, a less expensive home integration system which will let users control media, heating and lighting from a central location, or even from the web. Users will buy the package from a retail outlet, which will contain an HP Media Center PC, Lifeware control software, an Xbox 360 for media extension, plus two wireless cameras, a thermostat, five dimmers, five switches, and two keypads. The key to the cost is the use of powerline Ethernet, which replaces the custom wiring used in more elaborate home automation technology. Customers will have to install the dimmers, switches and keypads themselves, but will then be able to call a 1-800 number to have a technician finish the work. Best Buy is currently testing the system in Rancho Cordova, California, but expects the final package to sell for $15,000. Remote access to a ConnectedLife network will cost $20 a month. [Via CE Pro]
iQua produces shuffle-like Bluetooth headset
iQua today began carrying its simple BHS-302 wireless headset for cellphone users. The company breaks with the traditional one-piece shape by breaking the speaker away from the receiver: callers can attach the iPod shuffle-like receiver to their clothes or a bag through an integrated clip. The separated hardware is better-suited to joggers or others who might otherwise lose a headset through exercise, iQua says. Simple controls allow for quickly answering or rejecting calls, which can last as long as 9 hours courtesy of a built-in battery. iQua retails the headset today in black, silver, or white trim for $50 through its online store.

PC Magazine answers 'switcher' questions
PC Magazine software expert Robyn Peterson has answered 'the five questions most frequently asked by recent Mac converts' who are pondering a potential switch from Microsoft Windows to Mac OS X. "When Apple switched to Intel processors, I switched to a Mac," Peterson wrote. "It was that simple. And judging by Apple's latest financial report, millions of you are coming with me." The five questions include "where's the start menu?," "where's my right mouse button?," "how do I install apps?," "how do I search for files or apps?," and "where's the C: drive?" Answering these questions in order reveals the presence of Finder windows as well as the system dock, control-clicking with built-in support for two-button mice, drag-and-drop application installation, Spotlight, and terminal windows alongside Finder navigation.
Snooper ships speed trap-resistant Indago GPS
Producing a higher-end counterpart to its Syrius receiver, Snooper has just launched its Indago GPS mapper. In contrast to its larger but more basic predecessor, the 3.5-inch Indago sports a 256MB SD card preloaded with UK-only street level maps but gains extra camera detection features. Snooper promises speed-sensitive warnings not only of the country's fixed speed cameras but also of mobile cameras, congestion toll cameras, and even roadwork cameras. The Indago can be plugged into a car's power supply but also has its own battery for completely wireless use. It can be found online today for �399 ($776) or less after tax. [Via NaviGadget]
Bluedot offers dedicated mobile TV viewer
Bluedot today used the close of 2006 to reveal its BTV-400K media player. The company has focused the 4-inch widescreen handheld solely on tuning Japan's 1Seg digital mobile TV broadcasts; its single-purposed nature simplifies the controls and slims the device down, according to Bluedot, which measures the system at only 11mm (0.43 inches) thick. Support for an electronic program guide allows the BTV-400K's owner to see programming in advance and switch channels accordingly. Battery life is rated at three hours and can recharge just as quickly through either an AC outlet or a computer's USB port. The company expects an official launch in early February for $254.
Remote Buddy 1.0 RC1 supports Wii remote
IOSPIRIT has released Remote Buddy 1.0 RC1, offering support for the Nintendo Wii remote with Bluetooth-enabled Macs. Nintendo Wii users can control Macs remotely while browsing local as well as shared iTunes libraries and selecting individual tracks, albums, or playlists. The software also enables users to select and launch VIDEO_TS folders directly from within Remote Buddy, locating the respective folders without requiring extra configuration. The latest release of Remote Buddy also features a 'Custom actions' item that creates executable actions directly within mapping tables. A new multi-threaded driver architecture guarantees exact timing, according to IOSPIRIT, and offers higher performance. Remote Buddy 1.0 RC1 runs natively on Intel-based Macs as a Universal Binary, requires Mac OS X 10.4 or later, and is priced at $14 for a limited time.
Microsoft evangelizes Zune with special model
Photos of a uniquely-styled version of the Zune have surfaced, according to a newly discovered Flickr stream. The back of the digital music player is decorated with custom art by artist Jeremy Fish, who is responsible for much of the artwork behind Microsoft's advertising campaign for the new player. The otherwise commonplace brown player also garners attention for its connection to Microsoft's controversial Zune Masters program: the special edition is available only to ambassadors of the program aged 18-22 and is meant to reward college-age listeners who actively promote the new jukebox to friends and peers. Microsoft has previously attempted to drive the exclusivity of the Zune through special editions, handing out orange and pink Zunes to the project's staff as well as to random stores. Click through for a selection of photos from the collection.
AOC releases thin new V500 media player
Chinese company AOC has launched the V500, a media player that's barely thicker than an iPod nano, measuring just 0.4 inches. The screen is a 2.4-inch LCD capable of QVGA resolution (320x240), and it plays AVI and MPEG-4 videos, or MP3, WAV and WMA audio files. Users can also browse JPEG images. Storage on the player is internal, offering anywhere between 128MB and 2GB of flash depending on the particular model. Content is transferred via a USB 2.0 cable. The V500 should be shipping to Chinese retail shops in the near future, selling at several unknown price grades. [Via imp3]
digitalXtractions unveils outdoor webcam
Device maker digitalXtractions has revealed its SCIRC t1 webcam for outdoor travelers. Unlike notebook-orientedwebcams, the stand-alone SCIRC model is independent of any separate host device or network connection. The 1.3-megapixel camera can send still images or video to the company's own Web hosting service by using built-in support for GPRS and EDGE mobile Internet access, bypassing a computer entirely. Even a battery is sometimes unnecessary, the company says. A rechargeable battery is packed with the camera, but optional 6- and 12-watt solar panels will keep the t1 powered and recharge the battery during idle moments. The camera ships today for $450, although a subscription to the company's image hosting requires $60 per month. Solar panels are also available now for $150 (6-watt) and $250 (12-watt) each.

Trinity ships car FM transmitter for iPod
Trinity today launched its DS-CHFMT car FM transmitter for Apple's iPod. The combination dock and tuner fits in most vehicle cup holders, providing a stable base for an iPod without obscuring the radio or other controls on the car's central column. Audio from the digital player is broadcast through a user-specified FM channel while the holder attaches to the car's 12-volt power port to keep any dockable iPod fully charged. A 3.5mm minijack also streams music from generic music players, and Trinity claims that the new design helps drivers by surmounting some of the audio quality problems that plague most FM adapters. A new PLL chipset actively monitors treble in the initial music source and adapts to the sometimes distorted FM output, according to Electronista. Available in black or white, Trinity's audio adapter is shipping from Japan for $55.
Square CD plays music in illuminated style
Created by Yanko Design, the Square CD is a wall-mounted CD player that's as much about aesthetics as audio. Made out of white corian, the player normally sits as a featureless square on your wall; turn it on, however, and light begins to radiate from the tray, the sides, and the controls. The buttons are actually just pressure-sensitive regions in the Square's uniform smart surface, which can also double as a speaker using technology from FeONIC. The Square CD is not yet available to order, but should be sold directly from Yanko when it is. [Via Crave]
Mywaves intros video podcast service for phones
Young startup Mywaves today announced the finished version of its self-titled video subscription service for cellphones. A combination of RSS news feed technology and agreements with major content providers lets owners of 3G wireless handsets subscribe to regular video streams. As many as 10,000 separate channels are available, the company boasts, giving access to content such as CNN news clips or highly-rated YouTube videos. A Mywaves user can filter by category and tag channels with ratings; though the software is primarily managed on a PC, word of new videos can also be sent by SMS text messages. Mywaves says the service will remain free for anyone with a compatible cellphone, but requires a 3G wireless data plan with most major cellular carriers in Europe or the US.
MusicMath 4.0 comes to Intel Macs
An avid Mac developer has released MusicMath 4.0, enhancing the music conversion software to offer native support for Intel-based Macs as a Universal Binary. The application converts musical values, calculating time and tempo. MusicMath 4.0 allows users to modify Hertz as well as millisecond delay values to obtain a desired tempo, and supports copying results of the Tap Tempo module as global tempo. The update includes a bug fix in 'SMPTE' calculations, and includes a new icon. Music Math provides seven conversion functions which include tempo, transpose, delay, tap, samples, notes, and SMPTE. The application is available for free, and requires Mac OS X (specific system requirements were unavailable). [corrected]
Trinity debuts cupholder-friendly iPod transmitter
Trinity this morning launched its DS-CHFMT car FM transmitter for iPods. Fitting only in car cupholders, the combination dock and tuner provides a stable base for the iPod without obscuring the radio or other controls on the car's central column. Audio from the digital player is broadcast through a user-specified FM channel while the holder attaches to the car's 12-volt power port to keep any dockable iPod fully charged.

Sony preparing DSC-S650, S700 Cyber-shots?
Based on filings with the Federal Communications Commission, Sony appears to be developing two new Cyber-shot cameras, the DSC-S650 and S700. Each has a seven-megapixel sensor and runs on AA batteries; the 650 has a two-inch LCD display, while the display on the 700 is 2.4 inches and supports resolutions up to 480x240. Little else is known about the cameras except that they don't appear to have any WiFi or Bluetooth capabilities. The formal announcement of the cameras will most likely be at the 2007 Consumer Electronics Show, scheduled between January 8th and 11th in Las Vegas. Several Sony cameras have been nominated for awards at CES, including the Sony Alpha A100. [Via LetsGoDigital]
Arctic Quest for Mac released
Exclusive Games and Stargaze Interactive have released Arctic Quest for Mac, a puzzle game designed to test agility, strategic abilities, reflexes, and quick thinking. "With a wave of his icy fingers, the Snow King unleashed a bitter frost on the tropical islands across Earth. Palm trees iced over, fish were frozen solid in the seas and birds could no longer take flight. There, on the edge of his arctic kingdom the Snow King raised his icy palace, and to safeguard his empire, built a chain of 60 puzzles meant to stop even the wisest sage from reaching his castle and breaking the spell. You are the one to solve the puzzles, which take the shapes of animals or other tropical wonders. Arctic Quest offers unique hand-drawn graphics and you simply can't help enjoying those small animated fish swimming around." The game features 60 levels, six bonuses, simple mouse-based controls, hand-drawn graphics, and a final duel with the Snow King. Arctic Quest is priced at $20 and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
Brother updates with larger mobile printer
Brother on Tuesday expanded its MPrint line of handheld printers with the new MW-260. Positioned as a balance between normal desktop printers and the smallest handhelds, the printer uses larger A6-sized paper instead of the A7 found in earlier models: this provides extra room for graphs or for enlarging fonts without sacrificing the level of information per page. Size is no barrier to its speed, Brother further claims. At its maximum 300x300DPI resolution, the MW-260 can output 20 black and white pages per minute. Its design also signals the first three-interface MPrint device and connects using either Bluetooth, IR, or USB. The added support ensures that PCs or Windows Mobile-equipped handhelds can print away from home or the office without bringing a relevant cable. Brother hopes to release its latest mobile printer in Japan during March; a North American launch is set to follow shortly afterwards. No pricing has been set.
Nike issues New Year's challenge
Visitors to NikePlus.com will be able to watch runners endure the consequences of failing to live up to their New Year's resolutions after January 31st of 2007. Failed runners will bob for lobsters, have their nose hairs plucked, and be duct-taped to a bucking mechanical bull named Helga. Starting now, runners can issue challenges to themselves and to their friends on NikePlus.com. Nike will begin posting the consequences of unaccomplished challenges on the site as shared by the runners themselves, with the most publicized challenge coming from tennis superstar Maria Sharapova to NBA All-Star LeBron James. Maria claims that she will run more miles than LeBron in January, offering to leave the tennis court to serve as LeBron's personal water girl at a game of his choice should she fail. Should she outrun LeBron in January, however, then he will act as a ball boy during a match of Maria's choice.
Apple opens new retail store in Taiwan
Apple opened its first large-scale Apple retail store in Taiwan, according to a new report. The new retail store, which opened December 23, is in Taipei, the Digitimes reported: "The new Apple Computer store is located in an area of Taipei famous for a large number of consumer electronic stores and has three floors with a total floor space of about 397 square meters (4,270 square feet) and cost NT$150 million (US$4.6 million) to set up, the sources pointed out. Unlike retail outlets set up and operated by Taiwan-based sales agents, the new store represents Apple Computer's brand image in Taiwan." The report also says that Sony will establish a large retail shop inside a new large SOGO department store scheduled to open early next year and "will provide open space for customers to experience using Sony products."
Improved Nokia N93i receives FCC approval
Nokia intends to ship an updated version of its high-end N93 smartphone to the US, according to a recent FCC filing. The new approval reveals that the update, named N93i, will see key changes to its iconic design. The thick size of the existing handheld will be slimmed down considerably and should also see a glossy mirror finish replace the solid black of the current model. A seamless, RAZR-style number pad should also make its debut. Nokia says it will also make a concession to standards: instead of the company's own Pop-Port connector, a standard mini-USB port will let the phone sync with a PC using any A-to-B USB cable. No release date has been confirmed for the updated phone, which in FCC testing is currently a tri-band GSM phone with EDGE and UMTS broadband; to see an official release in the US, the phone will require a fourth band. Extra photos are available after the jump. [Via Slashphone]
VisionTac plans ultra-small Bluetooth GPS receiver
VisionTac this weekend said it would adapt a new Bluetooth-based GPS receiver, the VGPS-700, for the US market. The adapter adds mapping to PDAs, phones, and other Bluetooth-equipped devices that lack the feature. However, the company stresses that its receiver is small and light enough at 2.1 inches long and 33 grams to be carried easily in a pocket alongside its host. Despite this, it uses the current-generation SiRFStar III chipset accurate to within 1 meter and also sports its own lithium-ion battery for between 8 to 12 hours of active use. An external battery pack will extend that time to between 18 and 20 hours. VisionTac has not committed to a launch date or price but promises a low cost thanks to the VGPS-700's minimal design.

MBCO receiver plays, records satellite TV in cars
Having chosen conventional satellite TV in favor of the more recent terrestrial digital broadcasts, MBCO today launched its Moba Ho! MBR0201 receiver. The small tuner is built for both in-car mounts and home use and is rare for its ability to record as well as play satellite TV: a miniSD card slot is built in to capture as much as 2GB of video for later viewing on an attached display. The reliance on a larger screen for the main picture leaves room for channel information and navigation on the unit's own LCD, MBCO says. A bundled wireless remote can manage playback from the back seat. Ths new receiver is due to launch in mid-January with open pricing on the Japanese market.
Lexon designs Mac-inspired VoIP phone
Lexon this weekend introduced its Lexphone handset. While a simple USB attachment meant to simplify calling in Skype or other voice chat software, the Lexphone is designed to match the aesthetic of Apple notebooks and other designer computers with an aluminum-like finish. The company keeps the phone small at 4.1 inches long by focusing on its core role as a PC companion but says it still has room for extra features such as muting, call holding, and independent volume adjustment. Unica sells Lexon's phone for $75. [Via Crave]

Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu
SanDisk iXpand case has battery, storage
A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s case from SanDisk appears to be the "holy grail" of accessories: a stylish and protective case that offers both extra storage as well as the option of extra battery power as well. The iXpand Memory case offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of additional storage incorporated into the case, and an optional add-on battery pack (sold separately) adds up to an extra day or more of charge. Through the associated iXpand app, camera photos and videos can be automatically stored on the extra storage, optionally password-protected, The cost for the case is (in order of storage capacity) $60, $100, and $130. The battery pack's release data has not yet been announced, but the add-on should retail for an additional $30. http://bit.ly/291epHu
Fifth Hong Kong store to open June 30
The 46th official Apple store in what the company calls the "Greater China" region will open at 10AM local time in Hong Kong's New Town Plaza in the Sha Tin district on Thursday, June 30, according to a new page on Apple's retail website. Despite slowing growth due to economic turmoil in China, the country is still Apple's fastest-growing market. The new story will be the fifth for Hong Kong, a lucrative market for Apple thanks to the high concentration of wealth there and a thriving "gray" market. Normal store hours for the new store will be 10AM to 10PM every day. http://apple.co/291diaT
Apple Music bug bites very short songs
There appears to be a reproducible bug in the current version of iTunes -- version 12.4.1, running on OS X 10.11.5, both the current non-beta versions of the respective software -- that causes a streamed song to become "stuck" in endless buffering if the streamed item just before this happened was 60 seconds or less in length. The problem appears to stem from code in iTunes that signals the next track to start downloading one minute before the currently-playing track is done, and thus songs shorter than one minute don't trigger the download. Locally-stored music is unaffected by the bug, and the problem does not appear to exist in either the macOS Sierra developer beta or versions of iTunes earlier than 12.4, and does not affect the iOS Music app at all. http://bit.ly/291cN0l
Walmart Pay expands to 15 states
Walmart, one of the key progenitors of the failed CurrentC mobile payment system that was distinguished from Apple Pay by its ability to collect and share customer financial and buying data among its participants, has expanded the soft rollout of its alternative solution "Walmart Pay" to an additional 15 US states following a pilot program in Arkansas and Texas last month. Walmart continues to resist adding Apple Pay. The system, built into the Walmart app for iOS and Android, works with a complicated system of the camera scanning a purchase code at the register, then generating a QR code which is then scanned by the register. The system is available now in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, DC. http://apple.co/28SqZfu
