With the release of Apple's (AAPL) iPhone 5S and 5C and lots of great new phones from Samsung, Motorola, LG, Nokia and others, consumers are faced with a bevy of great options.
As cellphones evolve, manufactures keep looking for ways to distinguish their products, and some reviewers keep looking for finer points to focus on, like the curvature or color of the case or the location of a certain button. Phones have become a bit of a fashion item, which is probably great for the phone industry if it means that people will upgrade for mostly cosmetic reasons.
Other selling points touted by Apple and other companies and repeated in reviews is the speed of a phone's microprocessor. That was a very important factor when phones were routinely sluggish, but I can't remember the last time I complained about my phone's performance.
Screen resolution is another point of competition in both phones and tablets. Phones with high-definition screens are now commonplace. In August, LG announced a phone with a 538-pixels-per-inch screen that supports 2560 x 1440 pixel video playback, which is actually higher resolution than HDTV. I haven't tested a phone in the past two years with screen resolution that isn't more than good enough for reading text and watching video.
I don't know when, or if, we'll reach a point where screen resolution and performance become completely irrelevant, but I think we're close, at least in terms of how people are currently using phones. There may come a time when phone apps become far more demanding, requiring faster processing power but we're not there yet. And even if we were, the limiting factor for now is battery life.
Heavy-duty apps and faster and more powerful processors typically use more energy than slower processors of the same generation. But over time, they will also become more energy-efficient, just as battery technology also will improve.
And when it comes to screen resolution, it's hard for me to envision an application running on a tiny screen that screams out for higher than HD resolution. But just because I can't imagine an app like that doesn't mean it won't someday exist. What's great about tech is that there are lots of people who come up with things that surprise and delight us.
Styling and esthetics are a totally different issue. I admit I'm not particularly fashion-conscious, but plenty of people are. Many people spend a lot of time using their phones and are often seen with them by friends and in public. And just like some are willing to pay more for a car or clothing based on looks, so it goes with phones.
As I was waiting for a plane the other day, I noticed that the majority of people sitting around me had their phones out. I'm not sure what they were doing with them, but, for the most part, it wasn't talking. Their hands and eyes were on the screen, meaning the phone was the center of their attention and -- because they were focused on their phones -- the phones were the first thing I noticed when I looked at the people.
Could it be that your phone is now as important a fashion statement as your outfit or your shoes? If so, than maybe Apple is on to something by offering the iPhone 5C in five colors. Those choices don't impress me. I care about color when I buy a car, but if I wanted to change the color of my phone, I'd just get a new case. Nevertheless, it sure seems important to Apple's award-winning and knighted design guru, Jony Ive, who knows a lot more about styling than I do.
I also find it interesting that cellphone carriers in the United States are trying to make it easier for people to upgrade their phones more often. I was struck by Sprint's recent full-page newspaper ad touting an annual upgrade plan. Until very recently, carriers encouraged customers to upgrade every two years by offering them a subsidy if they waited two years between upgrades. Those biennial subsidies are mostly still there, but the industry is now offering pay-as-you-go finance plans that encourage more frequent upgrades.
I'm struck by the similarities between the cellphone industry of today and the car industry in the '60s, back when it was common for people to replace their car every year or two whether they needed a new one or not. Cars back then were sold on the basis of horsepower and styling and the promise that they would enhance your image and take you to places you might have never gone before.
The roads, like today's cellphone networks, were sometimes slow and unreliable, but the cars were sexy and powerful. And like today's cellphones, they were available on an easy payment plan.

About the Book
Fifty years after John F. Kennedy's assassination, presidential historian Robert Dallek, whom The New York Times calls "Kennedy's leading biographer," delivers a riveting new portrait of this president and his inner circle of advisors—their rivalries, personality clashes, and political battles. In Camelot's Court, Dallek analyzes the brain trust whose contributions to the successes and failures of Kennedy's administration—including the Bay of Pigs, civil rights, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and Vietnam—were indelible.
Kennedy purposefully put together a dynamic team of advisors noted for their brilliance and acumen, including Attorney General Robert Kennedy, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara, Secretary of State Dean Rusk, National Security Advisor McGeorge Bundy, and trusted aides Ted Sorensen and Arthur Schlesinger. Yet the very traits these men shared also created sharp divisions. Far from being unified, this was an uneasy band of rivals whose ambitions and clashing beliefs ignited fiery internal debates.
Robert Dallek illuminates a president deeply determined to surround himself with the best and the brightest, who often found himself disappointed with their recommendations. The result, Camelot's Court: Inside the Kennedy White House, is a striking portrait of a leader whose wise resistance to pressure and adherence to principle offers a cautionary tale for our own time.
A Globe & Mail 100 Selection
In his acclaimed biography of JFK, Robert Dallek revealed Kennedy, the man and the leader, as never before. In Camelot's Court, he takes an insider's look at the brain trust whose contributions to the successes and failures of Kennedy's administration were indelible.
Kennedy purposefully assembled a dynamic team of advisers noted for their brilliance and acumen, among them Attorney General Robert Kennedy, his "adviser-in-chief"; Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara; Secretary of State Dean Rusk; National Security Adviser McGeorge Bundy; and trusted aides Ted Sorensen and Arthur Schlesinger. Yet the very traits these men shared also created sharp divisions. Far from unified, JFK's administration was an uneasy band of rivals whose personal ambitions and clashing beliefs ignited fiery debates behind closed doors.
With skill and balance, Dallek details the contentious and critical issues of Kennedy's years in office, including the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, civil rights, and Vietnam. He illuminates a president who believed deeply in surrounding himself with the best and the brightest, yet who often found himself disappointed in their recommendations. The result is a striking portrait of a leader whose wise resistance to pressure and adherence to personal principles, particularly in matters of foreign affairs, offer a cautionary tale for our own time.
Meticulously researched and masterfully written, Camelot's Court is an intimate tour of a tumultuous White House and a new portrait of the men whose powerful influence shaped the Kennedy legacy.
Educator and Librarian Resources
Critical Praise
"Dallek's portraits of advisers including Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and Walt Rostow are lapidary, and it is difficult to quarrel with his judgments." — The New York Times Book Review
"Dallek is an assiduous digger into archives. . . . The story of how a glamorous but green young president struggled with conflicting and often bad advice while trying to avoid nuclear Armageddon remains a gripping and cautionary tale of the loneliness of command." — Evan Thomas, The Washington Post
"Think The Best and the Brightest meets Team of Rivals. . . . Dallek is one of the deans of presidential scholarship." — Beverly Gage, The Nation
"Dallek brings us closer to the complexity and the humanity of Kennedy's geopolitics, and helps us grasp the uncertainties he and his men faced in an abbreviated presidency." — USA Today

Definition of comestible in English:
noun(usually comestibles)
- Particularly lacking in a food desert are fresh comestibles: all food available is processed or precooked, full of salt and the worst kind of fat, and lacking in vital ingredients.
- Six of Edmonton's most scrumptious purveyors of comestibles along with a dessert and scotch supplier will donate some of their best wares to the event.
- Now go all the way - check out their desserts and other comestibles.
- Women could point out the medicinal and comestible plants with which they are particularly familiar.
- When the microwaved frozen produce of pizza and pasta chains is the height of culinary standards, as it is for many, we should hang our heads in comestible shame.
- We were about to help celebrate the falling of one of the last, and among the most storied, comestible taboos in our European culture.
Late 15th century: from Old French, from medieval Latin comestibilis, from Latin comest- 'eaten up', from the verb comedere, from com- 'altogether' + edere 'eat'.
eat from Old English:
For such a fundamental concept, it is unsurprising that eat is an Old English word, with an ancient root shared by Latin edere 'to eat'. This is the source not only of edible (late 16th century), but also comestible (Late Middle English) 'something edible', edacious (early 19th century), a rare word for 'greedy', and obese (mid 17th century) from obedere 'eat completely'. There are many phrases associated with eating. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die is a combination of two Biblical sayings, 'A man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat and to drink, and to be merry' (Ecclesiastes) and 'Let us eat and drink; for tomorrow we shall die' (Isaiah). You are what you eat is a proverb that first appeared in English in the 1920s. It is a translation of the German phrase Der Mensch ist, was er isst, 'Man is what he eats', which was said by the philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–72). If you eat your heart out you suffer from excessive longing or grief. As eat your own heart the phrase was first used in Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene (1596): 'He could not rest; but did his stout heart eat.' See also fret

BEECH ISLAND, S.C. -- A man is in custody after allegedly shooting a 17-year-old girl on Swamp Road Wednesday evening.
Delano Robinson Mobley was involved in an argument with four others at a convenience store on Sand Bar Ferry Road earlier that afternoon.
Following this incident, the group left the store and went to Mobley's home on Swamp Road. The argument continued and Mobley allegedly went into his home, picked up a sawed-off shotgun and then shot a 17-year-old girl in the right shoulder around 5 p.m. He then fled the scene.
The girl was taken to the Beech Island Fire Department by family members and was later transported to GHSU. Her condition is not known at this time.
Mobley's family members convinced him to return to the home and turn himself in to deputies. He was arrested without incident.
Mobley had an active warrant for larceny out for his arrest before the alleged shooting incident. He will be booked into the Aiken County Detention Center and will face charges for attempted murder, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and possession of a sawed-off shotgun.

September 12, 2005
Only on 12, about 45 members of Fort Gordon's 93rd Signal Brigade have taken over part of New Orleans' Airport. News 12 traveled to New Orleans and shows us how the terminal is now a communications headquarters.
At the Louie Armstrong Airport right next to Continental's luggage carriers sits Fort Gordon's communication tents. Here, the 56th Signal Battalion works as something like customer service for the military's Internet and phone lines.
The 56th has taken over a wing of the airport. It's like something straight out of Hollywood.
"Have you seen that movie with Tom Hanks, Terminal? That's kind of what it's like," said Sgt. Matthew Huckleberry.
The higher up's offices are where American Airlines' employees usually work. Soldiers here claim to have the only working vending machine in the airport and are using luggage carriers to keep themselves hydrated.
And the soldiers are doing their best to make Concourse A their new home. They've set up computers in what was once a food court to make an office and cots here in the former waiting room to become a bedroom.
"We're doing alright. It's living a little tight up there, but we're making it. Shower, bathrooms, you can't ask for anymore," said PFC Timothy Lesperance.
After long hours of work, these soldiers can sleep anywhere. Sometimes they find a few minutes for entertainment. And, when Lt. Colonel Stephen Middleton needs a haircut, the airport's jacket works as a cape.
"It's air conditioned, they have running water," said Sergeant Tanya Barksdale.
Sergeant Tanya Barksdale says this may look odd, but living in an airport is actually a luxury.
"We've lived in tents, we've lived in an open warehouse, so this actually isn't bad," Barksdale said.
Sergeant Barksdale spent 19 months in Iraq and Kuwait and was expecting to be called back there, not to her own country. But Barksdale says helping the United States is her most fulfilling mission yet.
"It feels good to help other countries achieve what we have, but to be able to come in and help your own people out is an amazing feeling," Barksdale said.
And that's why Sergeant Barksdale and others from the 56th Signal Battalion will use these abnormal conditions to get New Orleans back to normal.

Put your hands in the air! This is an iHoldup!
In Apple's (AAPL) biggest-ever unintended product launch, a mini-crime wave is rolling out across the nation as crooks, just like the rest of us, clamor to get their hands on the tech giant's latest gadgets.
And the recently debuted iPhone 5, it appears, has quickly become the smartphone de rigueur for thieves and robbers throughout the land, with the island of Manhattan perhaps the most fertile spot of all.
"When news came out that sales of the iPhone 5 were going to be huge, we thought, 'Great, there goes our crime rate,'" said New York City police spokesman Paul Browne. If it weren't for the 40 percent spike so far this year in thefts and robberies of Apple products, he said, the city's crime would actually have dropped a bit compared with 2011.
Browne's comments came as his boss, Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly, was addressing fellow chiefs of police for a national meeting in San Diego, filling them in on a growing problem in cities around the country. And, said Browne, it's getting worse.
"Just before the new iPhone came out, we had a record low in thefts for the year. It's as if the criminals were waiting for the new version. After all, why steal an iPhone 4S when they can steal an iPhone 5?"
But Apple thievery is by no means confined to the Big Apple.
"We're seeing robberies daily of all smartphones," said San Francisco police spokesman Albie Esparza, adding that victims are losing iPhones, iPads and MP3 players as well as Android devices. "And whether it's simple thefts, or robberies with force using a gun or a knife, nine times out of 10 it involves mobile devices.
"And," said Esparza, "it's increasing every day with people getting hit all over the city."
Despite public-information campaigns to educate citizens about the importance of staying alert in public places, especially when using mass transit, the number of incidents shows little sign of abatement. Esparza said that through the end of August, there were 2,374 robberies, and of those 1,199 involved cellphones.
"And the bad guys are violent, too," he said. "They're whipping out guns and assaulting people for their phones. Then basically they do a quick turnaround and sell it on the black market somewhere in the city, where they make a profit and then go rob more people."
Other Bay Area cities and transit agencies report similar trends, with Apple products often topping the most-stolen list.
"iPhones are more popular than Android devices," said Officer Era Jenkins with BART police. "They're also grabbing iPads, but it's mostly the iPhone that people want to get their hands on."
Jenkins said that in 2010, there was a total of 165 thefts or robberies of "electronic devices" on BART property; in 2011, that number climbed to 206, an increase of 25 percent; and as of the end of August this year, the number already stood at 235, with four months still to go.
In Hayward, police say they've worked 40 cases this year involving the theft of items identified as "Apple," including the iPod touch, iPhones and iPads. That city did not have immediate comparisons with past years. Other departments have not begun to break down mobile-device thefts by brand as New York City has done. But most agencies agree: the iPhone's snatchable size and growing popularity ensure it will remain among the criminal's most sought-after booty.
As one blog commenter put in on an East Bay listserv for a neighborhood that's been hit hard by iPhone thefts recently, "phones, ipads, kindles ... technology is so awesome and makes life super convenient, but it also makes you a target for petty criminals. The muggings / break-ins aren't going to stop anytime soon, especially when there are so many people wandering down the street, distracted by their fancy gadgets."

Stocks Like the Groove, Keep Movin' On Up
We checked in on this chart a few days ago, but take it a look at it now.
For nine of the past 10 days, the stock market has stumbled in the first hour of trading, only to climb steadily higher throughout the rest of the day.
We're not sure anyone should be counting on that today, given the usual jitters over Apple earnings (due right after the closing bell) and the House of Representatives' latest fiscal vote. But a trend is a trend, and it's a mighty fine one, says Chris Verrone, technical analyst at Strategas Research Partners.
He notes that after all these gains, the market is, admittedly, a touch overbought. But Verrone still sees enough healthy signs of momentum in the market that he believes the rally could roll on anyway.
"In our view, this is a market that continues to exhibit both trend and momentum," Verrone told clients this morning. "Yesterday's strong close speaks to this idea."
Tune in again in a few hours, and see whether this upward push can notch another day on its belt.
The S&P 500 recently inched down 0.1% to 1491.

Letting Go of the Best
Who does unemployment hit the hardest during recessions? Some signs have pointed toward high-wage workers. Yet these workers also tend to be firms' most productive employees, and why firms aren't more reluctant to let them go has remained somewhat puzzling. New research from Professor Andreas Mueller digs deeper to not only provide strong evidence that high-wage workers are disproportionately impacted in recessions but also to explain why firms seem so overeager to shed their most productive workers.
Mueller looked at the Current Population Survey, the main labor force survey in the United States, which the Bureau of Labor Statistics uses to estimate the unemployment rate. The survey tracks unemployment and wage information, following households for more than a year, and has a high response rate. By using a complicated matching process, Mueller was able to conduct an analysis of every recession since 1962.
He finds that even controlling for education, work experience, gender, and other easily observable characteristics of the unemployed, those with high wages — beyond any other similarities they may share — tend to get disproportionately laid off in recessions. In particular, those with high residual wages — high wages relative to others with similar education and experience — are the most heavily impacted.
Mueller also analyzed the data to see whether the changes could be driven by factors not easily observed in the data. For example, might high-wage workers, once laid off, have a much harder time finding a job in a recession than low-wage workers? "It turns out it's just as difficult for a low-wage worker to find a job in the recession as it is for a high-wage worker," Mueller notes. "So that doesn't explain why such a high proportion of high-wage earners are unemployed in recessions."
An obvious candidate for what's behind these disproportionate layoffs of high-wage workers is firm and plant death: if a plant shuts down, it sheds all workers, not just its low-skilled workers. But Mueller found that plant and firm death don't happen that much more during recessions than they do during better times, and only explains a small part of the layoff pattern.
Among the handful of theories about what causes this pattern, Mueller found the strongest evidence points to credit constraints that emerge in recessions as the most decisive of possible factors. During recessions, firms would prefer to keep their high-wage, high-productivity workers, who will be key to the firm's performance once the recession ends. But many firms must rely more on credit during a recession. Since borrowing costs rise in recessions while available credit contracts, these firms find themselves crunched by current costs and appear more inclined to get rid of high-wage workers despite their productivity.
Yet another theory about high-wage layoffs suggests that the bulk of high-wage workers getting laid off during recessions are those who were simply lucky at some point in their careers and were able to secure a higher wage than their productivity called for. In hard times, the theory goes, these supposedly overvalued, lower-quality workers are the first to go. In a related study Mueller and his co-authors Peter Fredriksson of Stockholm University and Björn Öckert of the Institute for Evaluation of Labour Market and Education Policy use employer employee data to track workers' employment as they move from firm to firm and examine the composition of Swedish unemployment during recessions. The researchers matched that data with cognitive and non-cognitive ability test scores from Sweden's compulsory military service, which allowed the researchers to see not just whether individuals are "book smart" but also to get a sense of their social and other skills.
Although Sweden's labor market is in many ways very distinct from the United States's, the initial results show the same patterns of unemployment among high-wage earners in recessions. And those with higher IQ tests scores, greater proven abilities, and higher non-cognitive scores do increasingly get laid off in recessions. The pool of unemployed reflects a higher share of among the highest quality workers — which controverts the idea that firms primarily shed their least talented high-wage workers when credit thins.
"One often hears anecdotes about firms' unwillingness to hire laid-off workers — firms assume the pool of unemployed is of low quality," Mueller says. "But if I were in HR, I would want to hire in recessions. I have a much better chance of recruiting high-ability staff."

During your home-buying search you find a home that you love, but you don't love its price. Before walking away from the home see if you can use these home-price negotiation tips to your advantage.
- Make sure the asking price is reasonable: Research other homes in the neighborhood to see if they are selling at similar prices. If the home you're looking at is significantly more expensive you might have some bargaining room.
- Use a poker face: Don't let on to the sellers or their realtor how much you love the home. If they know you really want the house they might not be as willing to negotiate.
- Know the seller's situation: See if you can find out why the seller wants to move. If he or she has already purchased a new home, they might be anxious to make a sell and more willing to lower the asking price. You might even be able to ask the seller to cover the closing costs.
- Tally repairs: If there are repairs the house needs, make sure to get an estimate of the work and ask the sellers to deduct that from the asking price. If you don't want to take on the repairs yourself, submit a request to the sellers and ask them to make the repairs before you buy the house.

Cellphone and Emails: Unwarranted
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 12:36 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 12:36 a.m.
Excerpted from an editorial by The Philadelphia Inquirer:
The Petraeus affair has helped Americans understand the sweeping power federal authorities have to snoop around in email. Another way Americans may unknowingly expose their personal affairs to law-enforcement eyes is through their cellphones.
In 2011, cellphone providers reported handling 1.3 million requests from law enforcement for data about customers, according to The New York Times.
You might think that police would need a warrant to get at those records.
Not so, at least as far as the U.S. Constitution is concerned. Federal courts have yet to stop warrantless cellphone record searches, though cases are pending. The government says you have no expectation of privacy for cellphone calling records, since you've already "shared" them with a third party, the cellphone company.
Now, the good news: It's likely harder for state and local police in this region to do that kind of warrantless fishing.
David Rudovsky, a senior fellow at Penn Law School who specializes in privacy issues, says ..."Regardless of what courts rule, something legislatures have to be thinking about is whether they can pass statutes that give better protection."
Hear, hear to that.

Maureen Dowd: No Bully in the Pulpit
President Obama has watched the blood-dimmed tide drowning the ceremony of innocence, as Yeats wrote, and he has learned how to emotionally connect with Americans in searing moments, as he did from the White House late Friday night after the second bombing suspect was apprehended in Boston. Unfortunately, he still has not learned how to govern.

New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
A tweet from an individual involved in the production reveals that HBO's production plans seem to have scenes set in Winterfell waiting until September to start rolling, and they'll last through the rest of the shoot it seems. We wonder if this might mean that the pilot reshoots—at least those parts set in and around the North—will be waiting until then?
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.


text: There have been topics about many of these authors but no real dedicated topic to what can be considered Young Adult Fantasy. I'm talking about Phillip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy (The Golden Compass[US]/Northern Lights/[UK], The Subtle Knife and The Amber Spyglass); Neil Gaiman's wonderful Coraline, Michael Chabon's fun and fantastic Summerland, the Lemony Snicket Books (though more dark in tone than actual fantasy, but it feels right lumping them here), the Narnia books, Garth Nix's work (Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen) to name a few. I've found myself being drawn to these books lately and I am really enjoying these books and admiring the skill the authors have to utilize in getting their voice in the right frame for the intended teen-ish audience. What is great about the books I've metioned above (Aside from Garth Nix, who I haven't read yet though the SFBC ominbus of the three books is on the way, thanks to my friend for joining the club so I could get some free books! ), is how well they work for adults. Again, for the books I mentioned above, should not be pooh-poohed simply because they are marketed as YA books. Of course there are the Potter books as well. And please don't tell me about Shannara and WOT. Yes teens read them, but they are only now being re-marketed for the Young Adult market. Anyway, I really would like to get people's thoughts on this growing part of the genre as well as thoughts on either the authors above or those I haven't mentioned. Here are some of the topics I found for the specific authors/books: Garth Nix Dark Materials (Philip Pullman) Tamora Pierce Harry Potter The Dark is Rising - Susan Cooper

Nimble Storage Leaps in NYSE Debut
Shares of Nimble Storage Inc. soared Friday on their first day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange, closing at $33.93, more than 60% above the IPO price of $21 per share. The stock opened at $31.10 after the company had raised its opening range.
Nimble Chief Executive Suresh Vasudevan, who rang the closing bell at the NYSE, said the strong interest reflects confidence by long-term investors that Nimble can continue to compete and thrive against older and much larger storage vendors. These include Dell Inc., EMC Corp., Hewlett-Packard Co. and NetApp Inc.
"As [investors] understood the breadth of our technology, they walked away convinced that we're here for the long term," Mr. Vasudevan said.
Although Nimble is not profitable, its revenue is increasing faster than its operating costs: The company lost $30 million on revenue of $84 million for the nine months ending Oct. 31, compared with $17.6 million on revenue of $33.6 million the year before.
Nimble also claims to cost less than competitors. That's because the company combines flash storage (which is fast but expensive) with hard disks (which are slower but cheaper) in a way that requires a third to a fifth as much hardware as competitors with older technology, Mr. Vasudevan said.
The company also says it can reduce support costs for customers because it monitors its hardware through the cloud, anticipating problems and notifying customers in about 90% of cases.
One competitor, NetApp, has sued Nimble and three Nimble employees in federal court in San Jose, Calif., alleging unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, breach of contract and five other counts related to the hiring by Nimble of former NetApp employees.
Nimble has not formally responded to the suit, but Mr. Vasudevan, himself a former NetApp executive, said the allegations have no merit.
"At a larger level, Nimble is gaining share against multi-billion-dollar product lines. I expect large companies to pursue every angle they can to slow us down," he said.
The up to $176.3 million Nimble expected to raise in the IPO will be invested in research and development and used for domestic and international expansion.
Significant venture capital shareholders in Nimble include Accel Partners, Sequoia Capital and Lightspeed Venture Partners. Accel and Sequoia each hold 18.4% stakes post-IPO and Lightspeed holds a 13.9% share.

Over four years ago a young boy's life changed after he fell into a mop bucket at a day care. Later, after a fight from his mother, Georgia law changed requiring day cares to notify parents if they are not insured. News 12 shows you how US soldiers overseas are getting new inspiration through his family's story.
For the first time Jackie Boatwright is meeting Sgt. Ian Ketterer. But he already knows lots about her and her son Juan. It was in Iraq when Sgt. Ketterer got an email telling him about Juan's story. Jackie wrote about it, telling about her journey through her son's injury and keeping faith through it all.
"I read it, the chaplan read it, a few other people and everyone that read it said they were encouraged by it," Sgt. Ketterer said.
A story of perseverance, hitting home for soldiers overseas. Jackie couldn't believe it.
"I really was at a loss for words at first. I was like, yeah right. You got my book and you're where?" Jackie said.
But the pictures prove it. And for Sgt. Ketterer, there's no denying he's been touched.
"It's like an instant love and you're instantly pulling for him to come though," Sgt. Ketterer said.
Even though bound by tubes from his tracheotomy, Jackie says Juan is making progress through help from God and through others spreading the message of faith.
"It's my goal/desire to send as many copies as I can afford over there. It's our way of saying thank you," Jackie said.
As the pages continue to flip in Iraq, Sgt. Ketterer knows more soldiers will gain strength from this book, something he already sees in Juan.
"So I'm pretty confident if the Lord can keep me and bring me back, he'll do the same for you," Sgt. Ketterer said.
Part II of Juan's story will be available in March. Jackie's book has even reached South Africa and her fight to pass Juan's law is now carrying over into other states like Virginia.

Born in Olgossa in the Darfur region of southern Sudan, Josephine was kidnapped at the age of seven, sold into slavery and given the name Bakhita, which means fortunate. She was re-sold several times, finally in 1883 to Callisto Legnani, Italian consul in Khartoum, Sudan.
Two years later he took Josephine to Italy and gave her to his friend Augusto Michieli. Bakhita became babysitter to Mimmina Michieli, whom she accompanied to Venice's Institute of the Catechumens, run by the Canossian Sisters. While Mimmina was being instructed, Josephine felt drawn to the Catholic Church. She was baptized and confirmed in 1890, taking the name Josephine.
When the Michielis returned from Africa and wanted to take Mimmina and Josephine back with them, the future saint refused to go. During the ensuing court case, the Canossian sisters and the patriarch of Venice intervened on Josephine's behalf. The judge concluded that since slavery was illegal in Italy, she had actually been free since 1885.
Josephine entered the Institute of St. Magdalene of Canossa in 1893 and made her profession three years later. In 1902, she was transferred to the city of Schio (northeast of Verona), where she assisted her religious community through cooking, sewing, embroidery and welcoming visitors at the door. She soon became well loved by the children attending the sisters' school and the local citizens. She once said, "Be good, love the Lord, pray for those who do not know Him. What a great grace it is to know God!"
The first steps toward her beatification began in 1959. She was beatified in 1992 and canonized eight years later.
She who worked under many "masters" was finally happy to address God as "master" and carry out everything that she believed to be God's will for her.

VAIL, Colorado - As Vail officials start serious discussions about imposing mandatory recycling regulations in town, the idea of legislation regarding plastic shopping bags is likely to become part of the debate.
Plastic bags are seen by many environmentalists as a big problem.
"If you look at the fences at the county landfill, they're lined with plastic bags," Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustainability Waste and Energy Program Coordinator John-Ryan Lockman said.
Beyond littering roadways and blowing around the landfill like jellyfish with store logos, the bags also create problems for recyclers. When people bag their recyclable items and drop them into bins, those bags have to be removed by hand before material can be fed into the county's large recycling machine at the landfill. Landfill manager Ken Whitehead wrote in an email that de-bagging recyclables cuts the efficiency of the recycling operation.
Even the bags left at the recycling center can make mess.
"We have a 55-gallon drum at the recycling center that fills up almost every day," Vail Environmental Sustainability Coordinator Kristen Bertuglia said.
So what can be done?
Aspen has banned plastic shopping bags in grocery stores. People either have to bring their own reusable bags or pay 20 cents each for paper bags.
Breckenridge officials are set to create a bag regulation that would charge customers 10 cents per bag for either paper or plastic.
Vail Town Council member Susie Tjossem said she and other town officials pay attention to what other resort towns do, especially since Vail likes to portray itself as an industry leader.
"You don't necessarily have to be first," Tjossem said. "But in the high country, environmental sensitivity has to be at the forefront."
That said, Tjossem said any effort to cut down on plastic bag use in Vail will have to be carefully thought out, particularly whether any regulations would apply to just grocery bags or all plastic shopping bags. If it's all bags, the town would have to consider businesses that have paid a lot of money for heavy-plastic bags with store logos printed on them.
"That would need a major phasing-in period," Tjossem said.
Council member Greg Moffet said the council talked about bags about 18 months ago, but the discussion never really gained much traction.
In a voice message, Moffet said if the town is going to consider some sort of bag regulation, "It has to balance that with the convenience of customers."
On the other hand, Moffet said he was recently on vacation in an area that had banned plastic bags, and it didn't seem to present any problems for either merchants or customers.
"I think it's becoming more widely accepted," he said.
And Lockman and Bertuglia said there seems to be some public opinion forming to regulate the bags. Both cited a recent film, "Bag It," that has had people talking after recent showings in the valley.
"If you want plastic bags to go away, it needs to come from the community," Bertuglia said.

This is the most powerful outdoor HDTV antenna that we carry. By looking at the VHF and UHF gain, you can see how much power the outdoor HDTV antenna has.
HD-2605 Ultra is a much stronger outdoor HDTV antenna unit. Best for those who really need more gain from your location. For some reasons, it might affect picking up signals which is not too far from user's location. So if most of the broadcasting towers are within 40 miles, usually we would recommend our indoor HDTV antennas (i.e. BA700, HD600, etc.) or outdoor HDTV antennas(HD-2805).
Also due to various restrictions, we cannot guarantee that which channels the outdoor HDTV antenna must pick up.
There are too many external factors that can affect our TV antenna picking up signals. Not talking about those existed factors (i.e. trees, area/distance, buildings, weather, airport, etc.), we still have chances to improve the performance ourselves by installing our TV antenna a bit higher (more than 30 to 50 feet above ground level) to reduce the interference from them. This step might give you chances to improve some tv channels reception. (Color change from blue/violet color to red color or even better result)
IDEAL DISTANCE: 40 to 80 miles
For best result, this outdoor HDTV antenna are ideal for living 40 to 80 miles away from broadcasting towers. People who live in the city like in L.A. and are close to broadcast towers should get indoor HDTV antennas. This outdoor HDTV antenna is ideal for people who are about 40 to 80 miles away even though it can work for up to 150 miles without mountain, trees , weather or other external restrictions.

Customer Reviews
I am very pleased with my 2605 HD Antennae. I live in Ceylon MN. I am basically out in the sticks. I chose the 2605 Model because the closest tower is in Jackson MN. That tower does rebroadcasts on low power transmitters. Jackson is 30 miles away from Ceylon. I get all 26 stations off the Jackson tower which is more than I need. I am very happy. I recommend the 2605 for anyone in Ceylon or the surrounding area.todd...@frontier.com

It has performed very good. There are two metro areas where many TV stations are located and I can pull in all VHF stations and 3 UHF stations from those areas. However, I am located atop a 700 foot hill that is probably higher than other hills or forested areas. I would say it was a good buy.gi...@msn.com

|Small Multi-directional antenna: The smallest of TV antennas, they receive equally well from all directions. In yellow color code areas where signal strength is highest and away from reflecting structures or low areas. Best antenna type BA-200 │ BA-463 │ HD-600
|Medium Multi-directional: Somewhat larger and slightly more powerful Best antenna type. Green color code areas. An amplified antenna is recommended in the green area anytime a long (20 feet or more) cable run from the antenna is required, or when more than one device (TV or VCR) is to be used with an antenna. They work best away from reflecting structures or low areas.BA-200 │ HD-600
|Large Multi-directional/Small Directional: Bigger in size, these antennas receive more signal power. Better for greater distances from signal source and areas with low signal strength. antennas are needed in a light green zone. These antennas are capable of receiving weaker HDTV signals when no significant multipath (ghost) conditions exist, i.e no reflective structures nearby. When mounted at rooftop heights (30 feet or higher) outdoors, amplified antennas can be used in light green color code areas away from reflecting structures or low areas. Best antenna type HD-700A │ BA-230
|Medium DirectionalMost popular rooftop antenna because of its modest size and ghost reducing characteristics. If there are ghost producing reflective structures near TV receiver antenna location, this kind of antenna is best for yellow, green, light green and red color code areas. Amplified antennas with rooftop mounting can be used with the blue color code. Best antenna type HD-2605 │ HD2805 │ BA2605 │ BA2805│ HD8000│HD8008
|Large Directional:Large antennas used in weak signal areas for maximum possible TV reception. Can be used in any color code area, but requires an amplifier and roof mounting for blue and violet color codes. Amplifiers are not recommended for yellow color codes. Best antenna type HD2605│ HD2805 │ HD8000│HD8008 │ BA2605
Testing & Installation
1. If you plug the AC Adapter and connect to the control unit box, you should first see a red light on your control unit box.
2. Once you connect the control unit box(a port on the box named ANT) to your antenna with a cable, now you should see the red light on your antenna. If not, you can test again with different cable to see if the problem is caused from the cable.
3. After making sure both red light are on, everytime when you press the button on the control unit box, you can see a green light on the control unit box and your antenna should be rotating.
Above is a self-test instruction. Basically, you can test to see if your antenna set works without connecting the antenna to your TV set unless you're testing if any signals picked up by the antenna.
After you assemble all the parts correctly, the antenna should rotate about 360 degree and stop then rotate reversely by pressing the button on the unit box. Or you can change the direction by double clicking the button.

College Commissions First of Ten Fuel Cell Systems
DOE reported on October 3 the commissioning of a combined heat and power (CHP) fuel cell system at Portland Community College in Oregon. Two five-kilowatt CHP fuel cell systems will help Portland Community College save on its energy bills and achieve its energy efficiency and sustainability goals. And, students will learn about the fuel cell technology used in the project as part of a comprehensive alternative energy curriculum offered by the school.
The project is the first of ten CHP fuel cell systems that will go into operation on the West Coast as part of a $2.8 million combined industry and government award that includes $1.4 million of DOE funding. In addition to providing electricity, the CHP fuel cell system captures the excess heat generated inside the fuel cell and releases it into the facility to provide space heating. The excess heat can also be used for hot water or other heating needs, while excess electricity produced but not consumed by the building can be sold back to a local utility company. DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and DOE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) awarded $1.4 million to Oregon-based ClearEdge Power to install 38 CHP fuel cell systems. PNNL will analyze the engineering, economic, and environmental performance of the two systems during the next five years. PNNL anticipates that this type of a system could reduce the fuel costs and carbon footprint of a commercial building by approximately 40%, compared with conventional electricity use. See the DOE press release.

Zimmerman Must Continue to Wear Monitor, Judge Rules
Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 11:21 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 at 11:21 a.m.
SANFORD | A Florida judge has denied defense requests to end 24-hour GPS monitoring of George Zimmerman while he is out on bond in the fatal shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin.
Judge Debra Nelson denied bond requests from Zimmerman's defense team Tuesday. Besides dropping the monitoring, the defense wanted the former neighborhood watch volunteer to be able to live outside Seminole County.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the 17-year-old Martin's shooting following an altercation in Sanford in February. He has pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense under Florida's "stand your ground" law.
Nelson has set a trial date for June 10. He also set a "stand your ground" hearing 45 days before trial where Zimmerman can argue it was self-defense and ask the judge to drop the charges.

The latest version of the Xbox console software makes it easy for you to use your Xbox Live profile (gamertag) on multiple consoles. For example, you can use your profile at your friend's house, or on a second console at home.
There are two ways you can use your profile on multiple consoles:
For information on how to download or move your profile, see Manage profile support.
The latest console software includes the following profile improvements and changes:
Because profiles are easy to use on multiple consoles, we added password protection to help keep your Xbox Live account as secure as possible. When a profile is password protected, someone must know your Microsoft account password in order to sign in to your profile.
Note If you've forgotten your Microsoft account email address or password, use the Lost Account Solution or the Lost Password Solution. If you want to change your account info, see Microsoft account FAQ.
Profile downloaded from Xbox Live
After you download your Xbox Live profile to a console, you can, if you want, have the console to remember your password. For information about how to protect your password, see Manage your sign-in preferences on your Xbox 360 console.
Profile moved using a portable storage device
If you move your Xbox Live profile using a USB flash drive or memory unit, the console prompts you for your Microsoft account password when you sign in to your profile on the portable storage device. Previous versions of the console software did not require your Microsoft account. This password requirement is permanent and protects the security of your account, in case the storage device is lost or stolen.

Pit bulls are in the news, and that's rarely a good thing.
A 10-year-old boy mauled in Antioch this month had to undergo skin graft surgery and have his right ear reattached.
A Concord man, whose pit bulls fatally attacked his 2-year-old step-grandson three years ago, is standing trial for manslaughter and child endangerment.
A 6-year-old Union City boy died two months ago after being bitten while playing with a family pit bull that was described as "good with kids."
Before the National Association of Pit Bull Huggers pickets in my front yard, let's make one thing clear: Not all pit bulls are alike, and they don't all attack children.
"I can safely say there are many more pit bulls that are wonderful, loving companion animals than there are pit bulls that have caused damage," said Rick Golphin, deputy director of Contra Costa County Animal Service. "We adopt out a lot of pit bulls."
One of the problems with trying to generalize about the breed is ... well, pit bull isn't a breed.
"The term is applied over a very broad range of dogs that aren't defined by pedigree," said Don Cleary of the National Canine Research Council. Pit bulls can be bull terriers, Staffordshire terriers, cane corsos or a mixture of those breeds and more. What matters more than the definition is the image the term conveys -- a ticking time bomb with powerful jaws and sharp teeth that can turn savage in an instant.
Those who love the dogs point to the findings of the American Temperament Test Society, which I hadn't heard of until two days ago. It subjects all breeds to pass-fail exams that measure their ability to interact with humans and their environment. You may be surprised to learn that pit bull terriers (86.8 percent) score higher than Dalmatians (82.7), beagles (80.0) and dachshunds (68.8), although that won't comfort a 10-year-old whose ear has been ripped off.
Opponents point to the hundreds of cities nationwide that have outlawed ownership of such dogs, beginning with Denver in 1989. Even in anything-goes San Francisco, an ordinance passed in 2005 requires "pit bulls" -- the legal definition spans 99 words -- be spayed or neutered to curtail aggressiveness.
One thing all can agree on is the important role owners play. A dog's behavior generally is a product of the training and treatment it receives. Find a neglectful pit bull owner, and you'll find an ill-behaved dog at the end of his leash.
"Socialization is important with any companion animal," Golphin said, "especially with one that has the potential for causing as much damage as large canines can."
Cleary believes too many factors affect a dog's disposition to blame the breed or pass sweeping laws. He cited a 2012 report by the American Veterinary Medical Association that surveyed 40 years of dog-bite studies in Europe and North America: "They reported there is no breed or kind of dog that we should consider disproportionately dangerous."
He thinks the media focus excessive attention on sporadic attacks. (You know how the media is.) Circumstance and environment shapes a dog's temperament, not genetics. You're just as likely to get bitten by a Yorkshire terrier as a pit bull.
Maybe that's so. But the results of those bites can be terrifyingly different. That's why the pit bull debate won't go soon away.

Set I
First Tube: This show opening First tube is rocking, but standard. Preceded by about 30 seconds of guitar loop/effects from Trey.
PYITE: Little flub by Fish at 1:40 other than that tight. Standard.
Horn: What can I say? Its Horn. Trey misses one note in his solo at 3:06, otherwise flawlessly executed.
Ginsing Sullivan: I love this song! Performed perfectly.
Stash: Short and sweet (11:30) Stash never really breaks away from the typical Stash theme. Weird little lick by Trey right at the beginning, sounds like a mistake that he made work. At around 7:50 it sounds like they may go ambient, but they snap back into it around 8:10. By 9:15 they start their approach to the end of the jam. Well executed, but nothing special.
Dirt: Performed Perfectly.
Possum: Intro is about 90 seconds with the song kicking in at 1:36. Subtle Stash tease at 5:55 - 6:05. ">" into ...
Ice: Trey flubs throughout. Most notably from 3:42 - 4:15, it's like he's totally forgotten the song, pretty painful segment. Not a version to seek out. The low point of the show.
Farmhouse: Never been a huge fan of this song. Played pretty well, but ends a blah set on a blah note.
Highlights: First Tube, Stash, Possum, but none are versions you need to seek out.
Set II
BOAF: Tight little version (8:30) with some cool jamming. At 6:25 Trey kicks in some effects and and it sounds like the jam is going to take off, but they return to the Birds theme around 7:30.
FREE: Highlight of the show. Funky and Groovy. From the Jamming Chart Entry: "After the initial bass solo, Mike and fish lay down a really great groove for Trey and Page to play off." And boy do they. Around 6:00 Trey starts laying down some delay loops. This space-age funk Free is awesome!
Beauty of my Dreams: Another song I love. Performed Perfectly.
Bug: Your standard Bug. Nice building jam at the end. ">" ...
Bowie: Typical, but welcome, spacey-loopy intro. Song kicks in at 2:13. A Fairly straight forward, but well played jam starts around 6 minutes in. Starts getting heavy at about 9:15. The ending segment seems forced. Slight hiccup starting the ending riff at 11:45.
When the Circus comes: Standard.
BOTT: Groovy, but standard 5 minute BOTT. Which is unfortunate considering they played one of the best ones ever 3 days later in Fukouka. ">" ...
HOOD: Typical Type I Hood. Beautiful jam builds to huge crescendo. You know this story well.
Zero: Typical Zero. Rocking, but indistinguishable from almost every other version.
Set II Highlights: BOAF, FREE, Hood

DOVER — It could be days before the body of missing University of New Hampshire student Elizabeth Marriott is recovered, according to a spokeswoman from the New Hampshire Attorney General's office.
Speaking outside Dover District Court Monday afternoon, Assistant AG Jane Young announced the Dover Police Department is now leading the investigation into Marriott's killing, which they believe took place inside an apartment at 1 Mill St.
"At this juncture, the Dover Police Department is now leading the investigation because the murder happened in their city," Young said.
Young said the search remains ongoing for Marriott's remains. The Marine Patrol is continuing to search the waters off of lookout point at Peirce Island.
"That is because credible information has led us to that area," Young said. "Given the eddies and the currents, there have been a number of challenges."
Young said the search may last several more days. Police are considering bringing in cadaver dogs for assistance. They have also notified authorities in Maine and Massachusetts to be aware of the search, in the event a body turns up on the coast.
Investigators are asking anyone with information relating the murder of Elizabeth Marriott to contact the Dover Police Department at 603-742-4646.
