When the credit card company contacted me the following week about this overage, I explained the situation and filed an affidavit of unauthorized use at their suggestion. This caused the $5300 charge to go into dispute, which meant that I still had to pay for the merchandise. So thinking that the dispute would certainly turn out favorably, I paid for those (8) listings with my second credit card on 1-19-12.
When the merchandise arrived I discovered that (5) of the items were obviously counterfeit, another item was stained (not as described), and a Tarheels basketball that was supposed to be signed by Michael Jordan was actually a Spalding basketball with no signature whatsoever! So I returned those (7) items and kept only one - a 1932 Yankees signed baseball. About a month after I paid for the merchandise Coach's Corner provided deceptive information informing the creditor that I received my merchandise for the $5300, knowing full well that I paid for it with another credit card as a completely separate transaction.
I got a letter from the credit card company in March stating that they believed the charge was authorized after all simply because I provided my credit card information to Coach's Corner, and that it was now up to me to get them to refund me the $5300. Well, good luck! I've been after them since March, but it is now June and no refund has been issued. I filed a local police report, but have been told it is not a criminal matter but a civil matter for an attorney to handle.
During the report a local officer called them up and spoke to a lady named Rosa who told her two lies: 1) that I had only been charged once for the transaction, and 2) that they had never received the returned merchandise. However, I have credit card statements and shipping receipt with tracking information to support my side of the story. Maybe this isn't a criminal matter after all, but it sure feels like one. If law enforcement won't get involved, maybe the Federal Trade Commission will. I really don't know who else to turn to at this point because of course I don't want to pay legal fees if I don't have to.

Coach's Corner Ripoff!
AUTHOR: Robert - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, February 05, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, February 05, 2014
As an update, I contacted the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office which pressured Coach's Corner into finally issuing the $5300 credit they owed due to a double charge on my credit card account. However, the money I did pay was spent on counterfeit merchandise, which I was able to mostly return. Even with a receipt signed by a company employee, Coach's Corner claimed they never got the merchandise back. Thankfully, I was able to recover that money in a credit card dispute.
The one item I could not return turned out to be a totally counterfeit 1932 Yankees team-signed ball. Even though I sent them letters of rejection from the best authenticators in the business, they stuck to their policy of no refunds on Ted Taylor "authenticated" merchandise. I found out that Ted Taylor, their in-house authenticator has been banned from eBay, and it takes a lot to get banned from eBay.
Finally, I decided to take a chance and return the worthless ball along with a letter requesting a refund. Coach's Corner decided to consign the ball in their November 2013 auction, without my permission - it sold for less than half of what I paid for it! They did send me the check, but I am still out about $1500 on this item. If I hadn't contacted the Souderton Police I'm certain that check would never have been issued. These b******* need to be shut down before they defraud others as well.

Compatibility For Cancer And Capricorn
Cancer and Capricorn
The relationship between these two signs stands every chance of enjoying a lasting bond together, but they must both work at this for it to be achieved, nothing good ever comes easy, but then once everything starts clicking into place and you see the fruit of your labour growing you will realise it was a worthwhile cause. That is what this pair is like. Out of the two the Capricorn is the dominant one, who will go out to work everyday and earn a fortune, the Cancer staying at home and looking after their brood of children and putting dinner on the table. What a lovely picture.
The Cancerian of the couple may feel as though his/her Capricorn partner works too much and doesn't spend as much time at home as the Crab would like. However, if they can put up with their beloveds workaholic lifestyle then the Cancer's home will never go without as the Capricorn always looks after there own very well indeed. Security is something the Cancer person really needs and it is something that the Capricorn can readily supply. Likewise the Crab will always look after their Goat and stick by him or her through thick or thin, good times and bad; making sure they are all well loved and looked after.
This is a great match but there will be hard times and obstacles which will need to be over come if a long term relationship is wanted by either party. Capricorn may, at times, feel smothered by the powerful love of their Cancer love and in turn the aloof and detached emotional ways of the Capricorn can leave Cancer left out in the cold and very confused. But I do believe that with the right people this pair can make it to the alter and last long after the honeymoon too! Good Luck!

Breast tenderness is a common symptom associated with menopause, and many women are familiar with the pain of this problem, especially if they have been through pregnancy and breastfeeding. Hypothyroidism is a much lesser-known symptom or side effect of menopause, and therefore, many women are unaware of the problem.
There are many causes for each individual condition, but they both have an impact on the levels of hormones in the body. Women should not be worried because the uncomfortable and often worrying breast tenderness symptoms and hypothyroid problems can be treated once diagnosed.
What is Breast Tenderness?
Mastalgia is the medical name for breast tenderness, a general symptom that can include any soreness or discomfort affecting either one or both breasts. Most women experience some form of breast tenderness during their lifetime, and it can be a common occurrence during menstrual periods. In the run-up to menopause, as well as during and after this stage, women are very likely to suffer from breast tenderness.
There are two types of breast tenderness: cyclical mastalgia and non-cyclical. The first one is related to a woman's monthly cycle and the other is generally caused by a variety of other factors, like a cyst. Women going through menopause can experience either type of breast tenderness. It is not a serious health condition and generally resolves itself without treatment. Symptoms can include:
- Swelling of the breasts
- Soreness to the touch
- Bruising
- Heaviness
- Increased breast size
What Is Hypothyroidism?
Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient levels of thyroid hormone. Since the main purpose of the thyroid hormones is to direct the body's metabolism, people with this condition see their metabolic rate drop sharply and experience a cluster of symptoms that can commonly include breast tenderness. The malfunction of the thyroid gland can be caused by a variety of factors, only one of which is menopause; the others include autoimmune disorders.Further symptoms of hypothyroidism include:
- Irregular periods
- Decreased libido
- Fatigue
- Weakness
- Weight gain
What Is the Link between Breast Tenderness and Hypothyroidism?
The main link between breast tenderness and hypothyroidism is a hormonal imbalance. However, while breast tenderness is caused by hormonal imbalance, an underactive thyroid itself causes a hormonal imbalance in the body. This means that breast tenderness and other symptoms associated with menopause are also likely to occur in the case of hypothyroidism.
Menopause entails a permanent decrease in the levels of sex hormones, resulting in a number of side effects, including increased breast size, which makes them more susceptible to pain. This is also the case during a woman's monthly cycle, only estrogen levels drop while progesterone levels increase, resulting in mood swings and other symptoms such as breast tenderness.
Managing Breast Tenderness and Hypothyroidism
If breast tenderness and hypothyroidism are both caused by a hormonal imbalance, most women can alleviate symptoms by taking measures to control hormone levels. This can be achieved in a variety of ways, including certain lifestyle changes, such as a healthier diet and regular exercise, or take herbal supplements. Best results are experienced when combining the two. If medication is required, there are several appropriate hormonal treatments - such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), a common solution prescribed for menopausal women - which can help with more severe cases.
For breast tenderness that is related to monthly cycles and is only mild, medication is normally not required, although over-the-counter painkillers and anti-inflammatories can be helpful in managing discomfort. Hypothyroidism that is not related to menopause is still treated with hormones but normally with thyroid hormone medication. If a woman thinks she is suffering from hypothyroidism, she should make an appointment to see a doctor in order to be professionally diagnosed and treated.

'Sarah's Key' Director On Why History Must Go Deeper Than Twitter
"Sarah's Key" director and co-writer Gilles Paquet-Brenner says he was intrigued by the idea of adapting Tatiana de Rosnay's best-selling book because he wanted to send a message about the past.
"We live in a world where it's all about Twitter, Facebook and now, now, now," he said. "I think it's great, I have nothing against that. But sometimes we forget that we need to know our past because the past is what made us what we are today, and we need to understand it so we can build ourselves a better future."
"Sarah's Key" brings to light one of the more shameful episodes in France's history: the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup in 1942. The film stars Kristen Scott Thomas as an America journalist who discovers a link between her family and a 10-year-old girl who was whisked away with her family during Paris' WWII-era roundup of Jewish families.
We spoke to Paquet-Brenner about his involvement with the film.
Are you ever surprised by the number of people that either know or don't know about kind of the events of the film?
To be really honest, I didn't expect the people in other countries to know about that, so I'm actually surprised when some people do. Because why would they know something that's very specific to French history? Even in France, before Tatiana's book came out, people did not know so much about it. People of my age and younger probably maybe knew the expression vaguely, like, "yeah, the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup," but they didn't know necessarily the details and what was behind these words, like the French police arresting Jews and children and sending them to the camps. And why the Vel' d'Hiv Roundup is so infamous, I would say, is because before that event they arrested only the men, and all of a sudden they arrested the men, the wife, the children.
But what's good is that until recently, it was all about the Nazis, and now we've started to go back to our past. Maybe some don't yet, but most of us do. I mean, we cooperated too. We were occupied countries and some of them had governments cooperating with the Nazis, so we have our share of guilt too. And I think there is something universal here. In Japan, there is this big festival, the Tokyo Film Festival, and I didn't know what to expect from a Japanese audience for these reasons. But we won the audience award, believe it or not. So, you know, everybody can find something in it.
At 36, you're still considered a young director, but you've actually been making films for over a decade.
I've been a very busy director for the past ten years. I started young. I guess you could say I'm a young, experienced director, or I'm an old, young director.
How personal was this film for you?
There are two levels, the personal and the artistic, I would say. On the personal level it was like closing a circle. I had my first child, a daughter, making the movie, so you can imagine the symbolism. And my grandmother was married to my grandfather who was a German Jew who died in Majdanek and was arrested in the free zone in France. She died a few weeks after my daughter was born. So it because okay to think, 'we can close that book. On the artistic level, I truly tried to make the movie in the most humble way possible and really worked a lot. By far, this is my best movie so as a director, I learned from that process.
How did you become involved with this film?
I found the book myself, but in France it's a different process that in the United States. In the U.S., most of the time the producer will hire a director. And in France it's not like that. Most of the directors initiate their own projects. And so one day I found the book — luckily before it became such a worldwide phenomenon. I read it, fell in love with it, and met with Tatiana. We and we got along very well and she agreed to trust me. And I've been working with the same producer in France since my first movie. So he read it too and in a couple of days we said, 'let's go!'
Then we wrote the screenplay with a French writer called Serge Joncour, who is a friend of Tatiana's also and who is a very, very respected writer and someone who I would say is older than me, going back to experience. I was 33 when I read the book, so it's quite a decision to say 'okay, I'm going to do this Holocaust thriller at 33.'
Tatiana keeps saying the book and the film share the same DNA.
Yeah, I like that sentence. They are like twin brothers or sisters. We've done a lot of these Q&As together and we like to make people laugh by saying we had a child together. But the movie is very faithful to the book, especially because I know the book is so big here. There is this challenge of intercutting the two periods of time, but the book was well-structured, well-plotted and had very solid characters. So it was not that big of a deal to adapt, to be honest with you.
What are you working on next?
I'm directing a movie called "Dark Places" based on the book by Gillian Flynn, and it's a thriller. And if you like thrillers, it's a murder mystery that's set in Kansas. It's funny and sarcastic. When I read that book, it was like 'okay, this is it.' It's going to be an American movie but financed by France. So technically, it's going to be a French-Canadian production.
So no studio notes.
Exactly. We have a system that has a bit of money. And that's why we have opportunities to make international movies because there are studios like Studio 37, which is owned by Orange. Orange is like the AT&T of France and they made a movie studio and we're very close to them. So when you have someone like that backing you up, then it gives you a lot of opportunities. And also in France you have final cut, so you can make international movies without necessarily having to deal with a very complicated studio system, especially for a French guy who doesn't even understand that process because he has had final cut his whole life. I mean, sometimes we argue with our producers too, but it's just that we have to find common ground. So I think it's a good process. But sometimes, the American process is good too because directors can be very self-indulgent. So having someone with a gun to your head can help you.

the tokens tells the command to use the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th colum the %i
means the first collum variable is %i the myfile.txt is the name of the log

Here we are in Week Four of the second annual Hate-Loss Challenge. In this final week, you have the option of choosing one, or both of the following exercises.
Option One: Pay It Forward
When we're feeling particularly down about our looks, our lives, or our past, we can easily become self-absorbed by those feelings. We lose perspective on the fact that there are people within our reach who love us and need our love as well. Reaching out to others is a wonderful way to help build self esteem. Can you remember a day when a perfect stranger passed you by and stopped long enough to say how much they admired your scarf? Your hair? Your smile? Think about how that simple gesture made you feel. Perhaps you walked a little taller, a little prouder that day. You can achieve that same feeling by engaging in acts of kindness towards others. Random acts of kindness not only boosts the self esteem of others, but it also gives us a sense of purpose and a different perspective on life. By showing kindness towards others, we become more open to acts of consideration towards us. The world feels a bit brighter; a bit better place to live.
According to Mental Health America, 'Research indicates that those who consistently help other people experience less depression, greater calm, fewer pains and better health. They may even live longer. Doing good can make you feel good. It might remind you that you're relatively lucky; make you feel connected to others; help you feel needed; take your mind off your own worries for a while, and add a sense of purpose to your life.'
Exercise for the Week: Show a stranger a random act of kindness and then write about it. How did it make you feel knowing that you stepped in to make someone's life a bit easier? How did that person react?
By making yourself acute to your surroundings this week, you'll most likely have several opportunities to make a difference in someone's life. You can choose a simple act of holding the door for a new mother trying to maneuver her stroller into a store, or paying a compliment to a passerby on his or her outfit. If you want to go a bit bigger with this exercise, you might buy that cup of coffee for the person standing in line behind you at your local café hangout, help an elderly person find his or her car in a parking lot, or take a stuffed animal to your local hospital and leave it for a child in need. No matter what you do, embrace the feeling you will get in knowing that you're making someone else's life better – even if it's only for a moment. That is a major self esteem-booster.
Quote for the Week:
No kindness, however small, is ever wasted.
~ Aesop
Option Two: Put yourself first
This is an alternative exercise for those innate nurturers out there. Chances are, you already do random acts of kindness every day and rarely put yourself first. According to a very good article in Ladies Home Journal, 'in failing to put our own needs first, we hope or assume others will give to us as we give to them.' But all too often, when our expectations aren't met we're left feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, depressed, resentful and burned out. These feelings often come from guilt; we convince ourselves that we're unworthy. It is imperative that you take care of yourself and your own needs, not only for your emotional health but for your physical health as well. 'Freedom and joy come from simple, single acts of healthy selfishness, and each act feeds the next until suddenly you discover that you are living the honest and satisfying life you always dreamed of.'
Your exercise is to pay an act of kindness to yourself and then write about it. What did you choose to do? How did it make you feel afterwards? Lovingly treat yourself to something you've been putting off, or wouldn't normally consider. Maybe you've been wanting a manicure or pedicure. Arrange for some alone-time and grab yourself a glass of wine and a good book. Get a facial, or a new haircut. Light some candles, put on some relaxing music and take a hot bubble bath. Whatever you decide to do, just be good to yourself, because you deserve it. When you begin realizing your own self worth and make a point to regularly act upon it, your self esteem will only continue to grow.
Quote of the Week:
Be the change you want to see in the world.
I hope this exercise proves to be challenging in a fun way. You've all worked SO hard this month, I wanted to end this last exercise on a good note with the simple reminder that life is tough enough; if we have the opportunity to make one person's life a bit easier – even if that person is ourselves – it will surely change the way we see the world. These are great exercises to practice as often as you are able.
Finally, discuss how your daily affirmations are going. Are you noticing a change within yourself? Are some words becoming easier in this third week?
Thanks to you all for your inspiration, continuing support and unconditional love. Have a good week and I'll see you back here on Thursday for group therapy.

The De La Salle High football team walked out of California High with the East Bay Athletic League title Friday night thanks to a 31-17 win.
It also walked out knowing just how impressive a foe it had defeated.
Trailing 23-3 at halftime, host California rallied, closing the gap to 23-17 with 3:20 to go. A penalty on the ensuing onside kick went the Spartans' way, though, and Lucas Dunne punctuated things with a 5-yard touchdown run with less than a minute to go to seal De La Salle's victory in a thrilling regular-season finale.
The game's defining play came when California kicker Guillermo Rivas attempted to pop his kickoff up to the right side. A California player came down with it, but the official called kick catch interference, saying the ball had to touch the ground.
"The ball has to hit the ground before we touch it," California coach Eric Billeci said. "If we would've let it bounce, then we could've gotten it. Since it was still in the air, it was the correct call."
De La Salle (10-0, 7-0 EBAL) finished things just six plays later, when Dunne capped a 57-yard drive with his touchdown run. Dunne showed his tough style again Friday, rushing for 190 yards and three touchdowns.
"They're one of the best EBAL teams I've ever seen," De La Salle coach Bob Ladouceur said of the Grizzlies. "They're just as good as any other team that'll be considered for the playoffs or state."
California (9-1, 6-1) made inroads in the second half as no other team has against De La Salle this year. John Sarmenta recovered a fumble in the end zone for one touchdown, then caught a 7-yard pass from Drew Reil to narrow the gap to 6.
—I keep telling the kids we're going to bridge the gap, and I think we made a statement tonight about doing that," Billeci said.
De La Salle controlled the first half, hitting the board first when Dunne busted free for a 57-yard run, then punched it in from 3 yards out to give the Spartans the lead.
It was Bart Houston's turn next, finding Lucas Shapiro for a 42-yard touchdown pass with 4:37 left in the first quarter. The Spartans outgained California 146 yards to 80 in the first quarter alone.
The teams traded field goals to begin the second quarter, but Dunne piled on just before halftime, scoring from 5 yards out with 46 seconds left in the half, giving De La Salle a 23-3 lead.

ingredient information
Cheese Muenster
Muenster Cheese is a semisoft cow's-milk cheese that originated in a monastery in Alsace. Though noted for its pungent earthy aroma when ripe, Münster is considerably milder as a young cheese. It is customarily flavoured with wild cumin and formed into disks, approximately 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter and 2 inches (5 cm) thick. The exterior is dyed orange, and the interior attains a rich, creamy gold colour as it ripens. Münster oozes but, in spite of its softness, is never runny. Many countries now make Münster cheese, notably Germany, the Scandinavian countries, and the United States. Most such imitations are quite bland in character and pale in colour.

I just grabbed an excellent screen shot of the engagement ring Juan Pablo picked up on The Bachelor, and I decided we don't even know the conclusion of the show to discuss. Here it is!
Looks like a lot like the engagement rings from seasons past. I'm guessing a 3.5-carat cushion-cut diamond in a split-shank halo setting. I think it's safe to assume it's from Neil Lane. I'll update with more details (including the name of the "winner") as they roll in.
Ouch. Looks like Juan Pablo was even less excited about the final two woman than I was. There is NO way Nikki's ever getting that ring. This is literally the most painful programming I've ever witnessed. Another engagement ring for the ABC vaults.
Thoughts on the engagement ring Juan Pablo picked?
I really wish he went with something different—anything different.

Two Members of Mysterious 'Tech Surge' Named
Obama administration officials have been curiously tight-lipped about the identities of the tech gurus brought in to help fix the troubled HealthCare.gov website. That changed Thursday, at least somewhat, when the Department of Health and Human Services named two members of the team.

Michael Dickerson, a site reliability engineer on leave from Google, and Greg Gershman, a Washington-based entrepreneur who is a former Presidential Innovation Fellow, are among the "dozens" of tech experts brought in to fix the site, HHS officials said.
Mr. Dickerson is working with QSSI, a unit of UnitedHealth Group, which has taken over as the general contractor overseeing the site. "He has expertise in diving into any layer of the tech stack, from the metal to the application code to the people that write it, in order to deliver some of the world's most reliable online services," according to an HHS spokeswoman.
Mr. Gershman is working with the site's main contractor, CGI Federal, and "focusing on optimizing the site to improve HealthCare.gov's performance, and helping the development process be more agile so HealthCare.gov can release improvements more rapidly," according to HHS.
Several problems have plagued the website this week, mostly involving the data hub which is used by HealthCare.gov and similar websites in 14 states running their own health exchanges. That data hub collects information from several federal agencies to check whether an applicant qualifies for a federal subsidy to lower the cost of an insurance plan.
During a conference call with reporters on Thursday, HHS officials said the data hub and HealthCare.gov were operational as of 8 a.m. but several more updates are planned for the site over the next few days. The administration has promised that the site should be fixed and available to most Americans by the end of November.

1A lively French dance like a gavotte.
Example sentences
- It was also frequently included in the suite as an optional movement and was, like the bourrée and gavotte, usually placed after the sarabande.
- She did not think she was superior to the peasants; she played with them, she visited them, she went to the country dances, she danced the bourrée, she listened to the music.
- All of the bourrées the group played (including on the recording) have this rollicking character, which is unlike what I have heard from other groups.
1.1 Ballet A series of very fast little steps, with the feet close together, typically performed on pointe and giving the impression that the dancer is gliding over the floor.
Example sentences
- Changements, beats, and very fast pas de bourrées are possibilities here.
- Instead it is now often customary to see bourrées that open and close in the effort to cover space.
- This new feat ushered in a new dance vocabulary of hovering balances and quick, light bourrées, as well as a new image of the ballerina as gravity-defying sylph.
verb[no object]
Perform a bourrée.
Example sentences
- The other evening I bourréd and fouettéd all over the house to Swan Lake.
- She bourréd her way onto the Letters to the Editor page of the Globe & Mail.
- She was spectacular, ... bourréing across the stage as if eiderdown in the wind or traveling weightlessly in arabesques voyagées.
Late 17th century: French, literally 'faggot of twigs' (the dance being performed around a fire made with such twigs).

Olympic beach gold medalist May-Treanor is back on the sand
For three-time Olympic gold medalist Misty-May Treanor, returning to the AVP tour for one event only has been more of a reunion than a comeback. Playing on the domestic beach volleyball tour she once dominated, May-Treanor was surprised by all the changes she found since she last competed there in 2010.

Trey was energetic and full of life tonight, but Mike Gordon drove the bus and elevated the performance. Sally>Sparks was a real musical treat, but Stealing Time and even Susskind Hotel were notable for their enthusiastic deliveries.
The segue of the night is the Simple>Steam, but the entire second set smoothly fit together and never felt forced, with the exception of a slightly out-of-place Silent in the Morning. At one point (I believe during the end of Seven Below) Fishman was so lost in a jam that when Mike walked over to tell him what they planned to do, Fish never even noticed him. Eventually rest of the band were all staring at Fish grinning, looking at their drummer whose eyes were closed while he was lost in the moment.
A Soul Shakedown Party indeed.

Easy turnovers and easy baskets turned into easy money for the Lady Hawks when they crushed Meadowcreek High School 65-32 at home. Fans couldn't ask for a better start as the Hawks scored 23 points in the first quarter alone.
The Hawks could afford to play lackadaisical against a Meadowcreek team that struggled with ball control all night. Mill Creek was impatient at times but, when they slowed things down and played their game, they flourished on the offensive side of the ball.
MCHS led 38-12 and heightened its lead to nearly 30 midway through the third quarter. The Hawks emptied the bench and didn't become stagnant. The Bears were in dire need of rescue and received a little assistance after the clock was set for just six minutes, which is a standard rule set in place when a team is in the lead by 30 or more at the end of the third quarter. The Mustangs could not stop the bleeding in the fourth quarter.
The Lady Wildcats of Duluth High School were out for vengeance against the Lady Hawks which took a 56-41 win the first time around.
Tied at 37-all in the second quarter, Mill Creek saw time at the foul line that extended their lead by two going into the break. The Wildcats went back on top by one out of the half but India Dillard regained the lead for MCHS with two shots at the charity stripe.
However, a 3-point play by Duluth elevated them to a 51-47 lead at the end of the third quarter. Shannon McCrosson and Dillard added four to bring the score to 51 each. Yet the fourth quarter belonged to Duluth which took a 10-point lead and never looked back. The Wildcats finished with a 67-57 victory in a significant road game.
Dacula High School came in with a 6-12 record and it showed as they were on life support throughout the entire game. Paige Orangio drew first blood for an early 2-0 lead. India Dillard drew a 3-point play that put the Hawks up by five toward the bottom of the first quarter. Nadiya Miller let one rip from behind the arc and a shot from the free throw line heightened the lead to 15-4.
In no time flat, the Hawks notched 13 points which grew to a 29-9 gain toward the bottom of the first half. Turnovers and missed shots galore left Dacula in a 31-13 deficit at the break.
The second half saw the Falcons vacation at the free throw line but the Hawks managed to stay ahead by 19. A 49-26 lead put Mill Creek in a secure position to finish with a 57-26 win. Nadiya Miller finished with 15 points and Dillard added 11 to her stat sheet.

Birth Control Health Center
FDA Delays Decision on 'Morning After' Pill
Aug. 26, 2005 - The FDA has put off deciding whether to allow over-the-counter sales of the Plan B "morning after" pill.
The problem isn't safety, says FDA Commissioner Lester Crawford, DVM, PhD. The agency is convinced the emergency contraceptive is safe for all women.
The problem, Crawford says, is that the FDA isn't convinced that women under the age of 17 can understand the product's instructions for use. That's why last year it rejected the full over-the-counter status requested by manufacturer Barr Pharmaceuticals.
Following that May 2004 refusal, Barr asked the FDA to approve Plan B for over-the-counter sale to women 16 and older. But the long-awaited decision on that request -- expected by the end of this month -- is once again on hold.
The main problem, Crawford said in a news conference, is how the FDA can enforce a rule restricting over-the-counter sale of Plan B to women 17 and older (the agency decided to up the age limit requested by Barr).
"There are unique regulatory issues that need to be addressed," Crawford said in a news conference. "We can only decide these issues in an open process. That will let us decide whether FDA can approve a drug for both over-the-counter and prescription use, for the same indication, sold in the same package."
Open for Public Comment
The FDA is opening a 60-day public comment period -- shorter than its usual 90- and 120-day comment periods. But Crawford would not commit to a timetable for making a decision after that period is over.
"I make the commitment we will ... ensure this process is expeditious and thorough," Crawford said. "Expediting this process will be a personal priority of mine."
In a statement, Barr expressed regret at the FDA's lack of action.
"We are disappointed that the FDA did not approve our application," Barr CEO Bruce L. Downey says in a news release. "While we believe that a delay is not justified, we will use the opportunity presented by the FDA proceedings to continue to press for approval of Plan B as an over-the-counter/prescription product."

Has anybody tried a work abroad program like Bunac.org? I'm thinking about Ireland or Australia, was wondering if its a good deal.
Wed, 02/14/2007 - 09:35#1
Years ago when I was in college I went through BUNAC to work in London. It's a very good deal and one of the few ways for an American to easily get a working visa. Any specific questions?
I am leaving from New York, NY and traveling for 64 days

Thu, 02/15/2007 - 12:39#2
Thanks! No specific questions yet. I've got figure out how to get an overseas job, questions may be yet to come.
Fri, 03/16/2007 - 12:00#3
I had a BUNAC work visa as an undergrad student too, and it worked fine. I got that before I got a job. It's good for 6 months from the day you enter the foreign country.
Armed with that visa I contacted temporary employment agencies in London. One wrote me back and said they would interview me if I came to London. I went, they interviewed me, sent me out on jobs, and even got me a 3 month contract.
Remember to go through the proper channels and register yourself in London at the police station and I think at the national employment office before you start working.
Wed, 03/21/2007 - 12:36#4
I guess you must be American so don't have much of a choice but to go through BUNAC but I just wanted to point out that it's a huge waste of money if you're from a country with a regular Working Holiday Program in place. If you're able to get a visa on your own through the country's High Commission or Embassy then the cost of the visa will be less than half of programs like BUNAC (and SWAP, for that matter). I guess this advice is mainly for people from Commonwealth countries, but Americans who are going to NZ can also get the visa pretty easily on their own from what I understand so save your pennies, do a bit of research and don't be duped into thinking programs like BUNAC and SWAP are the only way.
Mon, 06/11/2007 - 00:23#5
What do you mean "getting visas on their own?" I am also an American looking to find work in Europe for a six month basis, and would like to find the cheapest, preferably legal, way. Thanks.
Tue, 07/10/2007 - 08:22#6
Lots of countries have reciprocal arrangements for working holiday visas (WHV). The only country the States has a working holiday arrangement with is New Zealand. So for most countries that have the WHV programme, citizens are able to go straight to the embassy or high commission of the coutnry they want to go to, get the applications and apply for the visa 'on their own.' For US citizens to get a visa to the UK though they can't do it on their own, they must go through BUNAC because there's no WHV programme in place. There's some other visa programme but it's administered through BUNAC so any Yank who wants a visa to the UK has no choice but to go though BUNAC. This is a lot more expensive than what a Canadian would pay to 'do it themselves' and the visa is 6 months instead of the 24 month visa granted to Canadians (and other COmmonwealth nations). Does this all make sense?
Just to let you know though, there's no European working visa… you'll need to pick a country and see if they issue visas to Americans. As far as I know, Ireland and the UK are the only choices but I could be wrong. Have a great trip!

Definition of prokaryote in English:
(also procaryote)
A microscopic single-celled organism which has neither a distinct nucleus with a membrane nor other specialized organelles, including the bacteria and cyanobacteria. Compare with eukaryote.
Example sentences
- These proteins are expressed by all organisms ranging from prokaryotes to higher eukaryotes, including human cells.
- In a few organisms called prokaryotes, there is no defined nucleus and the DNA is found throughout the cell.
- The difference between eukaryotes and prokaryotes is that eukaryotes have a nucleus, while prokaryotes do not.
- Example sentences
- The structural integrity of recombinant products generated by prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms is a major concern.
- This is a region of highest conservation, which consists of amino acids that are identical in both the prokaryotic and eukaryotic homologs.
- Several OYE homologues have been reported in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

So I'm curious to know how yesterday went for all of you. I imagine that giving up control and letting your spouse parent, at least for many of us, is more than a one day challenge. But at least infusing the idea of it into your thought process, if only for a day, might help you be more vigilant of it in the coming weeks and months.
Now I always find it interesting that people find it easy to keep a food journal or even an exercise journal, but many don't consider keeping a parenting journal.
And no, I'm not talking about a blog. (Nice try).
I'm talking about a notebook or even an email address where you keep (or send) the daily happenings in your experience as a parent. What worked? What didn't? How can you take those experiences and learn from them the next day?
We're taught to learn from our mistakes, and evaluate our own behavior and performance, at least when it comes to jobs anyway, so why should parenting be any different? We're certainly not born experts at this, and even more challenging is that once we seem to master something, our kids grow and change, which seems to push us right back to the novice side of things.
So #20: Keep a Parenting Journal
It doesn't have to be pretty or neat, and you don't even have to write in full sentences. But write down the key happenings so that you can read back later on and hopefully better inform your parenting.
And if you're late to the game, don't worry - I'm keeping track of all the Be a Better Parent challenges so you can start from the beginning!
Separately, I'm working on a Sometimes Single Mom project and I could use your input, particularly if you have a spouse that travels (for any amount of time - short business trips, deployments, you name it). Please head over to my column for more info - but I need your help!

Vedanta in Talks With India on Hindustan Zinc, Balco Stake Buys
By Alex MacDonald of Dow Jones Newswires
London – India-focused miner Vedanta Resources PLC is in talks with the Indian government to purchase the government's minority stakes in Hindustan Zinc Ltd. and Bharat Aluminium Co but no timeline has been set, said Vedanta's chief executive Thursday.
Speaking in a call to journalists, M.S. Mehta said: "we have made the offer and we remain engaged [with the Indian government] but it is difficult to" provide a timeline at the moment.
Vedanta Chairman Anil Agarwal confirmed in March that the U.K.-listed miner had offered 160 billion rupees ($2.9 billion) to buy the government's 29.54% stake in Hindustan Zinc and 49% in Bharat Aluminium or Balco.

Hexavalent Chromium Contamination: Hinkley Homeowners Accept PG&E Buyout
According to ABC News, residents of Hinkley, California reached their deadline on October 15th to decide whether they wish to sell their homes to Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), the power company that polluted their town, or stay in their homes and have a free water treatment system installed.
Two-thirds of the eligible homeowners decided to sell their homes, while another 100 will continue to use bottled or filtered water.
After an investigation lead by law clerk Erin Brockovich, hexavalent chromium 6 was detected in Hinkley's local wells. In 1997 PG&E agreed to a $333 million settlement; however, the determination of the areas affected by the chemical and the clean up process are still being disputed between Hinkley residents and PG&E.
The option to move or remain living in Hinkley was given to 314 homeowners within a one mile radius of the chromium 6 contaminated areas.
Currently, the clean-up of hexavalent chromium is taking place, but by-products from the clean up, such as arsenic, manganese, and other pollutants, are showing up in water supplies.
"Hexavalent chromium is a chemical that can cause lung cancer in humans, and inhaling high levels of hexavalent chromium can also damage the nose, throat and lungs," states Scott Van Etten, CIH, EMSL Analytical's National Director of Industrial Hygiene. "LA Testing is one of the nation's leading industrial hygiene testing laboratories and offers advanced testing for hexavalent chromium compliant with OSHA's standard."

I was thinking about getting a CMUcam or AVRcam, but there hasn't been much activity lately by the makers of these cameras, so I'm a little hesitant. I want to be able to do onboard color tracking, blob detection, etc.. And I have an Arduino Mega and Duemilinove to use on my robot. Any help from the LMR society goes a long way, and I appreciate it. Thanks!

This is a work for which many clinicians have been waiting. The author, well qualified for the task, presents the principal evidence bearing on the relation of hypertension, disturbances of metabolism and other diseases to disturbances, especially central disorders, of the autonomic nervous system. All fields of medicine, as the author writes, especially those of internal medicine and neurology, impinge on a common territory here—a common ground of central autonomic regulations.
After a brief introduction, which relates to the general physiology of the autonomic nervous system, the author considers in turn the part played by this system in maintaining the homeostasis of body temperature, metabolism, circulation, respiration and other phases of human physiology and disease. The response of the autonomic nervous system to pharmacodynamic substances receives attention in later chapters, and discussion of anatomic aspects at the end provides a satisfactory and interesting means for summarizing the material as a

Update: Sunday, Feb. 2, 2014
Michael Lynn Thompson, Jr. (WRDW-TV)
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- Geraldine Johnson, 71, who lived on Clemson Drive died in a fight with her nephew, the coroner said.
It happened just before 11 p.m. off of Whiskey Road in Aiken.
Deputies charged 39-year-old Michael Lynn Thompson Jr. with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime on Sunday.
The entire College Acres neighborhood is in disbelief after the shooting.
Yellow tape seals off the entrance to 56 Clemson Drive, after a quiet Saturday night turned tragic within minutes.
"This has always been a quiet neighborhood," said one neighbor in the College Acres neighborhood.
Last night, that all changed, as dozens of deputy cars littered the area.
"Opened up the windows and saw all of the police cars lined up and down the street," said Carl Zotter who lives just across the street.
When Zotter woke up this morning, he found out just what happened. Deputies say Michael Lynn Thompson Jr, shot and killed a woman after an argument. When deputies arrived, they say they found the woman in the back bedroom with gunshot wounds.
"Never come across as a violent person at all," he said.
Zotter says Thompson was the nephew of the woman killed and also says the witness of it all, was Thompson's son.
"A 13-year-old boy have to witness that and go through that, I can't imagine what's going through his head right now," Zotter said.
Zotter says he knew Thompson, inviting him over for dinner numerous times. But just recently, their communication changed.
"In the last month, we haven't communicated at all, and it kind of was strange to me there," Zotter said.
Thompson did have a prior criminal past. But Zotter and other neighbors would've never realized it, saying he was a kind person, never causing any trouble in the neighorhood.
"I don't know what all happened over there but it's just a shocker to us, it's hard to believe," he said.
Original report
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- A witness told deputies a man and woman were in an argument when shots were fired, a release said.
Deputies said the shooting happened on Clemson Drive Saturday night. Deputies found a woman's body with a gunshot wound in a back bedroom, according to a release.
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office said investigators expect Michael Lynn Thompson, Jr., 39, will be charged with murder, although the investigation is ongoing.

Daniela Zarnescu, associate professor of molecular and cellular biology at the University of Arizona in Tucson, was awarded an MDA research grant totaling $405,000 over a period of three years to investigate whether anti-diabetic drugs may reduce the death of muscle-controlling nerve cells called motor neurons in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Zarnescu and colleagues have developed a model of ALS in fruit flies that carry a mutant form of the TDP43 gene, a known cause of ALS. "TDP43 has emerged as a common denominator for a significant number of ALS cases," Zarnescu says, "because mutations in TDP43 can cause ALS and, in addition, normal TDP43 protein associates with cellular inclusions found in autopsy samples from ALS patients, regardless of the genetic cause of the disease."
She has used this model to test candidate drugs that are already approved for other uses. Her work led to the identification of several types of drugs currently used to treat diabetes that also reduced death among the ALS research flies. The drugs work to affect signaling by the hormone insulin, suggesting that the insulin pathway may be a critical survival pathway in motor neurons.
"Given that our candidate drugs are already approved for use in humans, our work in the fly model will provide a rapid and cost-effective strategy to help determine whether these drugs could be adapted for the treatment of ALS," Zarnescu says.
Funding for this MDA grant began Feb. 1, 2013.

SIKESTON - If you've wanted to be a part of one of the biggest Independence Day fireworks shows in the area, here's your chance.
Sikeston's annual fireworks show on the Fourth of July is well-known throughout Southeast Missouri. What most people don't know is that it is not taxpayer money from the city that foots the bill.
The Sikeston Elks Lodge is the organization behind the spectacular fireworks shows that have been seen here for at least the last 16 years, assisted by various businesses and organizations over the years.
Donations, which used to cover about half of the cost, tapered off as the years went by, however, while the price of the show has gone up.
"Last year the cost was around $8,000," said Wayne Smith, exalted ruler-president of the Sikeston Elks Lodge 2319. "We're trying to keep it around that, but the more donations we get the bigger the show we can put on."
By the summer of 2002, the Elks found they were shouldering almost the entire bill, compelling the organization to seek assistance.
For the 2003 show, Sikeston Elks Lodge members decided to begin actively seeking donations from area businesses and individuals to help fund the Fourth of July fireworks display.
"We had a fair year last year on donations," said Smith. "Any help we could get this year, we sure appreciate it."
Smith said people from all over come here to see Sikeston's fireworks show, and he hopes the Elks, assisted by donations, can continue to put the annual pyrotechnic display on. "The kids really enjoy it and look forward to it," he said. "Everyone really enjoys it."
A part of the community since 1965, the Sikeston Elks Lodge has supported many local activities over the years in addition to the fireworks shows.
Donations toward the Independence Day fireworks show may be made to Sikeston Elks Lodge Fire Works Committee, P.O. Box 931, Sikeston, MO 63801.

This book without question is probably the most monumental effort in behalf of spinal anesthesia ever written. It covers every facet of spinal anesthesia. Lund is well known in anesthesia literature as a proponent of regional anesthesia. His deep and abiding interest manifests itself in this monograph.
The organization of the book runs along the usual lines; it is divided into 14 chapters, each covering a specific aspect of spinal anesthesia. The pleasant thing about it is that the chapters are neatly subdivided in a kind of outline form which makes the looking up of a specific topic very easy. This book should hold a special attraction for clinicians, because it goes into considerable detail on the tremendous number of techniques of spinal anesthesia which have been introduced since its advent in the late 1800s. The bibliography is extensive, and the book is well annotated. It includes an alphabetical

In Tough Times, a Company Finds Profits in Terror War
By JEFF GERTH and DON VAN NATTA Jr.
Published: July 13, 2002
WASHINGTON, July 12— The Halliburton Company, the Dallas oil services company bedeviled lately by an array of accounting and business issues, is benefiting very directly from the United States efforts to combat terrorism.
From building cells for detainees at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba to feeding American troops in Uzbekistan, the Pentagon is increasingly relying on a unit of Halliburton called KBR, sometimes referred to as Kellogg Brown & Root.
Although the unit has been building projects all over the world for the federal government for decades, the attacks of Sept. 11 have led to significant additional business. KBR is the exclusive logistics supplier for both the Navy and the Army, providing services like cooking, construction, power generation and fuel transportation. The contract recently won from the Army is for 10 years and has no lid on costs, the only logistical arrangement by the Army without an estimated cost.
The government business has been well timed for Halliburton, whose stock price has tumbled almost two-thirds in the last year because of concerns about its asbestos liabilities, sagging profits in its energy business and an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission into its accounting practices back when Vice President Dick Cheney ran the company. The government contracts, which the company said Mr. Cheney played no role in helping Halliburton win, either while he led the company or after he left, offer the prospect of a long and steady cash flow that impresses financial analysts.
Since the Sept. 11 attacks, Congress has appropriated $30 billion in emergency money to support the campaign against terrorism. About half has gone to the Pentagon, much of it to buy weapons, supplies, and services. Although KBR is probably not the largest recipient of all the government contracts related to terror efforts, few companies have longer or deeper ties to the Pentagon. And no company is better positioned to capitalize on this trend.
The value of the contracts to Halliburton is hard to quantify, but the company said government work generated less than 10 percent of its $13 billion in revenue last year.
The government business is ''very good, a relatively stable source of cash flow,'' said Alexandra S. Parker, senior vice president of Moody's Investors Service. ''We view it positively.''
By hiring an outside company to handle much of its logistics, the Pentagon may wind up spending more taxpayer money than if it did the work itself.
Under the new Army contract, KBR's work in Central Asia, at least for the next year, will cost 10 percent to 20 percent more than if military personnel were used, according to Army contract managers. In Uzbekistan, the Army failed to ascertain, as regulations require, whether its own units, which handled logistics there for the first six months, were available to work when it brought in the contractor, according to Army spokesmen.
The costs for KBR's current work in Central Asia could ''dramatically escalate'' without proper monitoring, but adequate cost control measures are in place, according to Lt. Col. Clay Cole, who oversees the contract.
The Army contract is a cost-plus arrangement and shrouded in secrecy. The contractor is reimbursed for its allowable costs and gets a bonus based on performance. In the past, KBR has usually received the maximum performance bonus, according to Pentagon officials. Though modest now, the Army contract could produce hundreds of millions of dollars for the company. In the Balkans, for instance, its contract with the Army started at less than $4 million and turned into a multibillion-dollar agreement.
Mr. Cheney played no role, either as vice president or as chief executive at Halliburton, in helping KBR win government contracts, company officials said.
In a written statement, the company said that Mr. Cheney ''steadfastly refused'' to market KBR's services to the United States government in the five years he served as chief executive. Mr. Cheney concentrated on the company's energy business, company officials said, though he was regularly briefed on the company's Pentagon contracts. Mr. Cheney sold Halliburton stock, worth more than $20 million, before he became vice president. After he took office, he donated his remaining stock options to charity.
Like other military contractors, KBR has numerous former Pentagon officials who know the government contracts system in its management ranks, including a former military aide to Mr. Cheney when he was defense secretary. The senior vice president responsible for KBR's Pentagon contracts is a retired four-star admiral, Joe Lopez, who was Mr. Cheney's military aide at the Pentagon in the early 1990's. Halliburton said Mr. Lopez was hired in 1999 after a suggestion from Mr. Cheney.
''Brown & Root had the upper hand with the Pentagon because they knew the process like the back of their hand,'' said T. C. McIntosh, a Pentagon criminal investigator who last year examined some of the company's Army contracts in the 1990's. He said he found that a contractor ''gets away with what they can get away with.''

Definition of futurism in English:
1Concern with events and trends of the future or which anticipate the future.
Example sentences
- Emotional disconnect, man-machine sexual politics, dystopian futurism, German electronic-music fetishes - Bowie was post-millennial before we even hit 1980.
- Through journals like these, the vorticists cultivated a small public instead of the mass public that commercial advertising, futurism, suffragism, and the Fabians sought to marshal.
- I had, admittedly, written a book with Watts Wacker on the future, but I neither knew that futurism was a discipline, nor that I was a futurist.
1.1 (Futurism) An artistic movement begun in Italy in 1909 that violently rejected traditional forms so as to celebrate and incorporate into art the energy and dynamism of modern technology. Launched by Filippo Marinetti, it had effectively ended by 1918 but was widely influential, particularly in Russia on figures such as Malevich and Mayakovsky.
Example sentences
- Fauvism, Cubism, Futurism, Purism, Neo-Plasticism, Surrealism, Neoclassicism, social realism, his art experienced them all.
- Early abstract artists associated with Futurism, Constructivism and Cubism similarly sought to make works that captured a kind of pure dynamism.
- Much experimental music at the time incorporated the ideals of Dada, Surrealism, Futurism, Expressionism and abstract painting.

This had been an attempt to use up a) the little bits of soap that had sat mournfully in a jar under the sink for rather too long and b) our over-large collection of shower gel. But the consistency was unimpressive. Realising, as I turned out the cupboard looking for Proper Liquid Soap, that we had run out (which was what prompted the failed Soap Mix in the first place), I filled the dispenser with undiluted body wash as a short-term measure and beckoned Secundus back to the bathroom.
Some frugal experiments work surprisingly well. Others, make you realise that you do in fact, need some kind of guidance. I bow to the experts where soap-making is concerned and was very pleased to find Kirsty Howard's book of healthy, money-saving tutorials : The Cottage Mama's DIY Guide ($4.00, available here). She gives straightforward and encouraging instructions so that readers can make a veritable vat of liquid soap, using simple a bar of good quality soap, water, vitamin E oil and tea tree oil. Not owning any vitamin E oil, I am wondering if the oil from Evening Primrose capsules might do the trick, and I expect you could also use an alternative aromatherapy oil, such as lavender, if, like me, you aren't so fond of the tea tree aroma.
The Cottage Mama's DIY Guide is an excellent resource for anyone who wants to make their own cleaning products, remedies, and beauty treatments. There are so many products on our shelves at home that, once they have run out, could be easily and frugally replaced by home-made versions.
Anyone with a baby in the house will appreciate Howard's inclusion of Home-made Baby Wipes, and Teething Cookies, Healthy Baby Food Made Easy and Simple "Cradle Cap" Rinse. I also like the fact that once you've found something you want to try your hand at in this book, it's likely that you can simply make a start, as most of the ingredients can be found in your kitchen cupboards. The facial scrub for example, is something most of us could whip up at any time, requiring only a banana, oats and yoghurt. There's nothing more frustrating than deciding you want to have a go at concocting your own lip balm or something, and then finding out you have to order six ingredients from Amazon before you can even get started. That doesn't happen with The Cottage Mama's DIY Guide. Coconut oil is probably the most exotic ingredient.
Kirsty Howard provides readers with compelling reasons to try their own hand at herbal tinctures and salves, and her "give-it-a-try" attitude is infectious, aided by the many colour photographs and easy-to-follow instructions. She also includes a number of housekeeping tips from yesteryear, and I appreciate her sharing that knowledge; not all of us have older relatives we can learn these things from.
Whatever your reason for making your own, whether it is because they keep your family healthier or save money, or simply because you like a challenge, enjoy doing things your own way, or value greatly the knowledge and wisdom of the past, The Cottage Mama's DIY Guide is a wonderful way to bring Make Do and Mend into your household cupboards.

Maniac Magee Chapter 33 Summary
- It's January now, and Maniac is on his own again. Running, again. He's left 101 Bandshell Boulevard behind, but not before brushing over the "101" on the wall.
- During the day, Maniac leaves Two Mills behind and returns at night. He runs out of food and ends up feeding himself at the zoo or the Salvation Army.
- One day still in winter he ends up at Valley Forge and moves into one the replicas of the Continental Army's cabins.
- Maniac curls up in his blanket. This is what giving up looks like, Shmoopers.

The Path of American Religious Liberty: From the Original Theology to Formal Neutrality and an Uncertain Future
Daniel O. Conkle
Indiana University Maurer School of Law
Indiana Law Journal, symposium on Religious Liberty at the Dawn of a New Millennium, Vol. 75, p. 1, 2000
Indiana Legal Studies Research Paper
In this article, I sketch the history of religious liberty in the United States and speculate on its future. I explain the Founders' "original theology" of religious liberty, which granted a privileged status to Christianity and which, more generally, regarded religion as distinct and distinctly important. I then discuss how, over time, the original theology has gradually given way to the principle of "formal neutrality," i.e., equal treatment and nondiscrimination not only between and among religions, but also between religion and nonreligion. This principle currently plays a powerful role under both the Free Exercise and the Establishment Clauses. Looking to the future, moreover, I contend that various philosophical, religious, jurisprudential, and political forces support the continued and perhaps increasing importance of formal neutrality. This notion of formal neutrality - equal, not special, treatment for religion - tends to belie the Founders' claim that religion is distinct and distinctly important. For this reason among others, I conclude that the future of religious liberty may be in jeopardy.

Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer confessed something this week that surprised some security experts: She doesn't lock her iPhone.
"I was like 'Look, I just can't do this passcode thing, like, 15 times a day,'" Mayer said at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco.
She is hardly alone. Half of iPhone owners don't bother to lock their devices with four-digit passwords, Apple revealed this week. But whether those people are impatient, negligent, or just apathetic, the company wants to help them. On Tuesday, Apple introduced a new iPhone that allows people to unlock the device with the touch
