Plaudits: Washington City Paper's Young and Hungry's 2009 Top 50 Restaurants
Neighborhood: Clarendon
The Setup
People's strong feelings on Peruvian chicken is something I find so baffling. I didn't even know that Peruvian chicken was an actual thing until I came to DC. And then I couldn't hear the end of it. That being said, I probably would have put off the experience for much longer except Official Friend of DCWD Rebel was in town. And having seen an episode of No Reservations where Anthony Bourdain raved about El Pollo Rico, we headed out to Clarendon.
The Vibe
El Pollo Rico is a lunch counter kind of place which enjoys massive popularity; at 2pm on a scorching Monday afternoon, the line was literally out the door. Granted it was a federal holiday, but still. It being a cafeteria-style establishment, the decor is correspondingly spartan (example: letterboard menus, like the kind you find in old pizza parlors), though certainly cleaner and brighter than the average contemporary. Brightly-colored walls in red, white, yellow, and green surround a room of nothing but four-tops. It's a surprisingly big space for a grab-and-go place though.
The Food
The menu is simple: four combinations of chicken - a quarter, half regular, half white, and a whole chicken. All plates come with cole slaw and steak cut fries and at least two sauces, a green jalapeno sauce and a slightly yellow mayo. The chicken is made in bulk, and the ordering moves with the efficiency of an assembly line. Place your order, hear the knowing sound of a cleaver meeting a cutting board, and thirty seconds later, here's your order on a tray.
The chicken was, in short, good. Well-spiced skin, tender, and fairly juicy. Not the best chicken I've had in DC, but for the price (less than $5 for a quarter platter), definitely the best bang for your buck. It's the kind of chicken you wouldn't mind eating with your hands.
The actual surprise for me was the steak fries. I normally hate steak fries; in the fry spectrum, I'm the guy who digs for the small crispy morsels and ignores the big potato-y ones. But these avoided the starchy mushiness I dislike in steak fries, and won big marks for me. Washed down with Inca Kola (a drink I had forgotten I liked so much), and it was all in all a pretty satisfying meal.
The Verdict
This being just the beginning of my Peruvian chicken experience, I can't yet join the fray and the flurry of opinions on DC poultry. But I can say that it was an enjoyable bite, and one I would totally return to (you know, if it was actually convenient for me to get to).

Ah, you finally hit up EPR! Certainly my favorite Peruvian chicken joint.
The fries are of uneven quality, depending how much of a rush they're in and how long they leave them in the oil. Sometimes they're nice and crunchy, sometimes they're soft and mealy and not completely cooked. Like you, I prefer crunchy.

Henk Doorten is a long-time illustrator and co-creator of the Dutch children's book, Frederick Spin. Shortly after the release of the hardcover, Henk and his partner, Ans, decided to bring their characters to the digital world and develop their first eBook for the App Store. Created with Corona and the Kwik Photoshop plugin, Henk developed the Frederick Spin eBook in just two months. Since its release, the app has soared to the #2 eBook spot in the Dutch App Store.
We chatted with Henk about his role as a designer, experience using Corona and plans for future projects.
Please tell us about your background as a designer.
When I first started as a designer, I began working on a Mac Ed. At the time, the best combination was using Illustrator 1.x for the drawings and Pagemaker 1.x for the layout. My day job is designing logos, websites and brochures for the company I started twenty years ago.
What inspired you to write the original Frederick Spin hardcover?
My partner, Ans, spent 20 years working in education with preschoolers and wanted to write a story that children would enjoy. Frederick's story grew out of the idea that there is a spider in nearly every house, and it's always chased away. We wanted Frederick to be a friendly loveable character that children could sympathize with. He took a while to sketch just right; I wanted to keep the drawings simple in terms of creating foreground, middle and background with Frederick as a ball of wool with eight legs. Though I hadn't created illustrations like that in years and had never worked on a children's book before, it turned out to be a very nice experience. Ans was the writer and I, the illustrator. We released the book, created a website, did a bit of marketing, and found that the story really resonated with children.
With the hardcover so well received, what made you decide to go the digital route and develop a mobile version of the book?
Two reasons – one is that bookstores in Holland have a difficult time selling books, the other is that we wanted to bring Frederick to life in digital form. When you read a tangible book, you imagine all the small details and the story comes to life. We thought it would be nice to create a visual, interactive experience for Frederick. The app added another element to the story and allowed us to experiment and create new possibilities for the little spider. It was also a nice partnership, I created the illustrations and Ans worked on the narration and sounds.
How did you decide Corona was the best solution to bring Frederick to the mobile world?
I found Corona through my research, when looking for interesting ways to create a digital book. I spent a lot of time following Corona's blog, and was surprised by how much I could create with so little code. Corona was the easiest and quickest option, allowing Frederick to develop, giving him more personality and expression, and providing him the opportunity to interact with other characters.
How did the Photoshop plugin tool, Kwik, help you in the development process?
Soon after I discovered Corona, I learned about Kwik. I didn't have time to learn to code, so Kwik was very useful. We wanted the animations to tell the story, so we made a storyboard and created the artwork in Photoshop – that's when everything started to come together. The Corona and Kwik combination was perfect, especially for a non-developer. I simply made something in Photoshop and Corona and Kwik did the coding part for me. Although we were completely new to the process, the book took two months from start to finish.
Based on your experience working with Corona, would you recommend the platform to other illustrators and designers?
Yes, of course. I don't believe there is a better solution. Corona is very easy to use – especially for non-developers – and the Kwik tool really sped up the project. We were completely new to the process so we wanted to make everything as simple as possible. We also wanted a bit of interactivity, such as scrolling text, and this was very easy to do with Corona and Kwik.
How was Frederick Spin received in the App Store?
Within a week of submitting, we were #2 in eBooks on the Dutch App Store. Now the book is featured in the iTunes store. Holland is a small country, but we're confident in the long-term potential of the eBook.
We're looking forward to your next project! What do you have in the works?
We're working on a Frederick series, with the next book more intricate than the first. We'd like to create more possibilities for Frederick and plan to experiment with storytelling interactivity soon. We also plan to use Corona for another eBook about critters that travel the world.

Germination on some herbs was excellent, for example basil. However, some (mint, oregano, lavender) had zero germination. Interestingly a packet of lavender I picked up at our local hardware store germinated very well. Still can't condemn a company with small packets and low prices because I think it is such a great idea, but I probably will stick with Stokes or other seed companies. I'd rather pay the $1 or $2 for a good sized packet and store seeds or give away seedlings if needed, rather than have to buy another packet and replant.

Please do not sell (or plant) Isatis Tinctoria, Dyer's Wode. It is considered a noxious weed especially in the western united states. It out competes native plants, it is not a forage plant so there is no animal grazing controls. The only controls are herbicides and hand pulling. Some state may even have fines for planting this non-native noxious plant. It can and has escaped gardens which is why it is such a problem.

The four men were a formidable sight as they patrolled the city. Tall and imposing, they were each impeccably dressed in tailored suits with wide-brimmed hats pulled low that added to their intimidating air. Citizens sometimes mistook them for gangsters, but criminals knew who they were. They weren't mobsters...they were cops.
The four no-nonsense cops, nicknamed the "Hat Squad," formed an elite unit of the Los Angeles Police Department in the early 1950s. Both feared and revered, they made their own rules to enforce the law. But when a routine murder investigation case involves one of their own, it forces the "Hats" into a confrontation with a power far greater than organized crime--one that could bring down the squad itself.

Three years past his divorce, veteran novelist Bill Borgens (Academy Award® nominee Greg Kinnear) can't stop obsessing over, let alone spying on, his ex-wife Erica (Academy Award® winner Jennifer Connelly), who ignominiously left him for another man. Even as his neighbor-with-benefits, Tricia (Kristen Bell) tries to push him back into the dating pool, he remains blind to anyone else's charms. Meanwhile, his fiercely independent collegiate daughter Samantha (Lily Collins) is publishing her first novel while recoiling at the very thought of first love with a diehard romantic (Logan Lerman); and his teen son Rusty (Nat Wolff) is trying to find his voice, both as a fantasy writer and as the unexpected boyfriend of a dream girl with unsettlingly real problems. As each of these situations mounts into a tangled trio of romantic holiday crises, it brings the Borgens to surprising revelations about how endings become beginnings.

The $treet
A serial drama set on Wall Street at the venerable firm of Balmont Stevens, where a small group of hotshot traders rule the roost.
The staff at Balmont Stevens includes: Jack Kenderson, whose charm and good looks are matched only by his uncanny market instincts; former Navy-SEAL Chris McConnell, ever-conscious of his working-class roots in Staten Island; salesman par excellence Freddie Sacker, who never misses an opportunity to offend anyone within earshot; fearless head of the trading desk Frank Divack; and research analyst Evan Mitchell, whose ironic detachment from the job he has mastered provides his colleagues with endless amusement. But this boy's club has its share of party crashers who refuse to be treated as second-class citizens: new Vice President of Sales Catherine Miller, a no-nonesense professional eager to leave her past behind; Alexandra Brill, a Harvard-trained investment banker and Jack's fiancee; Donna Pasqua, a street-smart receptionist with big ambitions; and Bridget Dashiell, a powerful money manager who wreaks havoc in the office with her scheming ways.

Sharks 3, Oilers 1: Patrick Marleau recorded a goal and an assist while captain Joe Thornton set up all three tallies as visiting San Jose posted its first regulation win since Oct. 27.
Joe Pavelski and rookie Tomas Hertl also scored for the Sharks, who improved to 3-0-1 on their five-game road trip. Alex Stalock turned aside 30 shots as San Jose recorded its fourth straight victory at Edmonton.
Nail Yakupov netted a power-play goal, ending the Oilers' home scoreless drought at 214 minutes, 51 seconds. Devan Dubnyk made 34 saves for Edmonton, which saw its overall losing streak reach five games.
San Jose opened the scoring with 4:16 remaining in the first period as Pavelski converted a power-play opportunity for his seventh goal. Dubnyk stopped Marleau's backhand shot from the left faceoff circle, but Pavelski fired the rebound into a vacant net from the right circle after the goaltender was knocked out of position by teammate Andrew Ference.
The Sharks doubled the lead 1:29 later. Thornton grabbed a loose puck behind the net and came out on the right side before dishing it to Hertl, who put it past Dubnyk from the top of the crease for his team-leading 12th tally.
Marleau made it 3-0 less than four minutes into the second, ripping a shot from the right circle past Dubnyk after receiving a backhand pass from the top of the slot by defenseman Jason Demers. Marleau has collected two goals and three assists over the first four games of San Jose's road trip.
Edmonton gave its fans something to cheer about for the first time in four home games with 7:12 remaining in the session. Stalock denied Sam Gagner's sharp-angle shot, but Yakupov one-timed the rebound out of the air and past the netminder from the right circle to end the Oilers' lengthy home scoring drought.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Thornton raised his career assist total to 808, putting him four behind Pierre Turgeon for 29th place on the all-time list. He also climbed within one point of Nicklas Lidstrom (1,142) for 50th in career scoring. ... Edmonton assigned C Mark Arcobello to Oklahoma City of the American Hockey League on Friday and recalled D Oscar Klefbom from the Barons. The 20-year-old Swede did not make his NHL debut, however, as he was a healthy scratch. ... The Oilers have scored a total of three goals over their last six home games.

Rihanna Tips Waitier $200 At The Laugh Factory
January 22, 2013 | Posted by
TMZ reports that Rihanna ended up tipping a waiter $200 at the Laugh Factory comedy club on Friday, the biggest tip of his career.
She was at the club with six of her friends drinking and listening to Dane Cook on stage. The bill was only $80, and then Rihanna asked the waiter what his biggest tip was. He said $100, so she put $200 in his hand and said: "Now I'm your biggest tip."

This specialization helps you build the skills needed to be a business-oriented, technically proficient information systems professional who can perform systems development, infrastructure operation, systems analysis, and other technology management activities.
The AUM College of Business prepares diverse, ethical business leaders through an engaged educational experience paired with collaborative research and service.
The specialization in Information Systems is designed to provide the student with the background to perform the functions necessary in business information processing and management. In addition, the student can acquire sufficient knowledge so that he or she will be able to assume supervisory responsibilities in an information systems environment and lead strategic initiatives using information technologies for competitive advantage.
Our faculty is diverse in background and particularly well-suited to instruct students at both the undergraduate (B.S.B.A) and graduate (M.B.A.) levels in the ever-changing area of information systems.
The specialization in Information Systems (IS) is designed to prepare students to be business-oriented, technically proficient IS professionals who can perform and eventually lead systems analysis, systems development, and technology management activities using state-of-the-art web-based and traditional software tools and design methodologies.
Students will develop the skills and knowledge necessary to analyze and understand business problems and apply information technology to help solve these problems. Students will learn how to analyze client needs, define systems to meet these needs, develop applications, manage operations and act as technical intermediaries between management and other technical staff. Courses require extensive hands-on projects, teamwork and use of high-end technology in labs.
People attracted to the IS discipline enjoy solving puzzles, being involved in creative tasks, learning how electronic devices work, and adapting to constant change from continuously evolving technological innovations. Skills required for success in IS are curiosity about technology, willingness to help organizations improve performance, analytical thinking, excellent oral and written communication, and being proficient at teamwork on virtual and traditional teams.
IS professionals often deal with a number of tasks simultaneously, consequently the ability to concentrate and pay close attention to details is important.
Students in the Information Systems specialization take a common body of INFO courses beyond the College of Business core. In addition, four elective courses allow students to tailor their studies to a particular area of interest. Study within the information systems area is broken into an infrastructure option or an applications option. Students can focus on two areas of emphasis within each of these option areas.
One Programming Language (depending on option) Infrastructure Option requires INFO 3200 C++ Application Option requires INFO 3000 Java I
INFO 3560 Database Systems
INFO 3700 Data Communication
INFO 4800 Project Management - WI
Option Areas Courses
Total Hours
INFO 4200 Disaster Recovery & Contingency Planning
INFO 4560 Database Administration
Option Interest Elective
Infrastructure Option: Data Administration & Communication Interest Electives include INFO 4000, INFO 4400, or INFO 4410.
Infrastructure Option: Data Storage Management Interest Electives include INFO 4100 and INFO 4150.
INFO 3010 Java II
INFO 4780 Systems Analysis, Design, & Implementation
Option Interest Electives
INFO Courses (4)
Students interested in a general information systems degree will have the most flexibility in choosing among all electives. Students should speak with information systems faculty regarding appropriate combinations of electives for this area of emphasis.
The Information Systems Department manages the University's Storage Area Network Center of Excellence (SANCoE), one of only four that are part of a university curriculum. The SANCoE is the result of a partnership with Hewlett-Packard (HP), UNISYS, Integrated Computer Solutions, the Alabama Technology Foundation, Auburn Montgomery and the School of Business to address the critical need for data storage professionals in the local area.
For more information about the Information Systems Club, please contact the club advisor Wendy Futral at 334-244-3977 or email@example.com.

The boots left empty by Thierry Henry were always going to be tough ones to fill but, in Emmanuel Adebayor, Arsène Wenger has a striker of a different mould hoping to fit the bill.
The Togolese international grabbed the first senior hat-trick at Emirates Stadium on Saturday and, following his brace at Tottenham the week before, is now the sharpest shooter in the Premier League with six goals.
With this type of form now entering 'purple patch' territory comparisons have quickly been made to Arsenal's former French maestro.
"It's funny, I thought about Thierry today," said Wenger after the 5-0 win against Derby. "When Adebayor scored the third goal inside I thought 'that's a Thierry goal'.
"He's not the same kind of player as Thierry", he continued, "but this kind of goal Thierry used to score. Overall they are different players because Adebayor is more a guy who uses his strength, his power and he is good in the air."
By the manager's own admission, it hasn't always been easy for the former Monaco man, but Wenger is happy with the way his form is coming together.
"He worked very hard and he has improved a lot in his finishing," said Wenger. "He is intelligent and, as well, he watched the other players and got a lot of advice - especially from Thierry. There are signs there now that they are showing similarities."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Don't laugh. It really is possible. And I've got the recipe to prove it. You see, I love squash. Butternut, Buttercup, Gold Nugget, Acorn, Giraumon, you name it, simply cut into pieces and roasted around a chicken or a pork roast. I even like pumpkin, for soups and cakes and such. But just like Time After [...]

St. John's Baptist Hosts Health Fair
The Samaritan Hands Outreach Center of St. John's Baptist Church, located at 74-05 Rockaway Beach Boulevard, held a successful health fair in conjunction with the Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center on Saturday, September 25.
The event was supervised by The Samaritan Hands director, Deacon Jimmy Stillwell; Addabbo's Nursing director, Michelle Modeste; and the director of the Ryan White Program, Rosa Rodriguez.
Addabbo Family Health Center and the Ryan White Program invited several organizations to help promote positive, healthy practices of families. The community was able to meet clinicians who offered free diabetes, blood pressure and HIV testing and advice. There were facilitated workshops on Ready Rockaway practices, health and New York Life Insurance opportunities, and WIC nutrition. The Civilian Complaint Review Board was also on hand to provide follow-up assistance to individuals and families.
The fair was hosted by the SJBC Health Ministry, and introduced their Health Ambassador Director, Inez Cole, and her co-ambassadors. The additional volunteers all worked harmoniously for more than 200 people who visited from 10 to 4 p.m.
Staff members for Senator Malcolm Smith and Assemblywoman Michele Titus were on hand offering community news. Smith's mobile van offered medical and health insurance assistance.
Attendees received gift bags, toys for children who registered for daycare and/or the Josephine Johnson Tutorial Services offered at St. John's Baptist Church. Members of the local fire house also attended and allowed children to jump on board the fire truck, blow its whistle and interact with firefighters during a question and answer session. Lunch was provided and The Dance Ministry performed.

ok, get your hubby, boyfriend, wood guy, or yourself and make this cool ironing board!
I will show my hubby later on today! tell him I want one by this weekend, ha ha
My husband just made one of these for me last week. Works great for yards of fabric! It took longer to go to Lowes and get the board than it did to put it together!
cool, is this the pattern idea that he used to make yours?

The Miracle Of The Cards Parent Review
Movie Review
Do you believe in miracles? With skepticism, Josh (Kirk Cameron), a hard-nosed reporter, sets out to investigate the fact or fable of Craig Shergold (Thomas Sangster), an eight-year-old English cancer patient who claims a miraculous cure. Based on a true story, Cloud Ten Pictures uses dramatized interviews to piece together the curious and thought provoking Miracle Of The Cards.
NEW: Listen to our Parent Previews Podcast and take control of media and technology in your family!
Knowing that her son has something more serious than just an earache, Marion (Catherine Oxenberg) struggles to find a doctor who will do a thorough examination. When the correct diagnosis is finally given the forecast is grim. A rare type of tumor is growing in the center of Craig's brain, and he will die if not treated immediately. In his present weakened state, the boy needs some sort of strengthening inspiration to proceed with the necessary grueling medical treatments. Marion is encouraged by the positive impact the arrival of numerous cards from friends and family has on the child's spirits. The mother considers each to be a prayer for her child's well being. After a suggestion that Craig could break the Guinness Book of Records for the most "get well" cards received, the Shergold's coordinate this effort with a fund-raiser for the care giving hospital. With the assistance of the local media, mail begins to pour in from all over the world.
Firm in her faith that Craig can be cured and unafraid to heed premonitions, Marion goes on to lead her family in the battle of a lifetime. A series of incredible events ensue leaving Josh and the audience to decide if God and the kindness of strangers who responded to a dying boy's plea have indeed worked a miracle.
While the script gets a little tangled arguing the reality of such mysteries, a more subtle but undeniable miracle emerges. To date, over 350 million cards** have been sent to Craig Shergold, each representing the goodwill and concern that exists in the hearts of mankind throughout the world. Without promoting any specific religion, The Miracle Of The Cards warmly illustrates that universal hope.
Note: Craig's request has unfortunately turned into an urban legend spawned by several Internet chain letters. Although the Shergolds are grateful for the good intentions, the family (and the post office) would like the cards to stop. Now in his twenties, Craig remains in good health yet still receives about five bags of mail a day! To learn more about this dilemma visit http://urbanlegends.about.com/library/weekly/aa102997.htm.)Starring Kirk Cameron, Thomas Sangster, Catherine Oxenberg, . Running time: 89 minutes. Theatrical release November 10, 2001. Updated February 13, 2012

The Miracle Of The Cards Parents Guide
Why do miracles happen to some people but not others? Are there no miracles when there is no cure? If someone is cured of cancer and it can be explained scientifically, does that make the patient's recovery less miraculous?

In addition, all of our surgeons are board certified in orthopedic surgery. This ensures our physicians adhere to the highest academic and ethical standards.
Our health care team includes Physician Assistants (PA). PAs are trained to provide diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventative health care services under the supervision of a physician. These qualified practitioners enhance our team of physicians to provide you with the best personal care.
We are pleased to have you as a patient. If you have any questions, always feel free to contact our office and our trained staff will assist you in any way possible.
In an effort to always provide the highest level of care, the New West physicians are continuing to learn and utilize new techniques that they can bring to their patients.
Dr. Mahalek performs spinal fusions using state of the art computerized navigation systems. As the region's leading expert in this technology, he is able to perform surgeries in less time with minimal blood loss, and with an unparalleled margin of safety for the patient.
Dr. Patrick Harrison is the newest member of the New West orthopedic team. He will be performing Patient Specific Instrumentation (PSI) for his total knee replacements. PSI ensures that patients are getting the right knee for them. Dr. Harrison will use an MRI to map out the entire leg to make sure the custom made knee implant not only fits with the rest of the knee, but also works cohesively with how the rest of your body moves. This makes for faster surgical times and an easier healing process. He is also bringing a new technique for hip replacement surgery to this area by utilizing an anterior-approach total hip replacement. The anterior-approach is a muscle sparing technique and benefits include accelerated recovery time, reduced pain, and more rapid stability of the hip due to the minimal trauma to muscles, tendons, and nerves.
Dr. Huebner has expanded his practice to cover foot and ankle. Through meetings and seminars hosted by the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society and surgical training sessions, he is prepared to see and treat ailments ranging from general to complex foot or ankle problems.
Drs. Heber Crockett, Nolan May, and Bernard Keown are trained ImPACT physicians. They participated in specialized training by the Nebraska Sports Concussion Network on the treatment and management of athletes with a concussion using the ImPACT Test application. ImPACT testing is used in the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, and numerous NCAA Division I Football Programs and is a great resource to bring to local athletes.
Dr. Mansuetta's wrist joint replacements are a way for his patients to get pain relief while maintaining their wrist motion. Prior to wrist replacements, wrist fusions would help with pain relief, but would reduce motion. He also performs artificial thumb joint replacements, which are stronger and more durable than the ligament reconstruction techniques.
Also serving the following communities with physician and physician assistant run outreach clinics: Ainsworth, Alma, Lexington, and Imperial, NE, as well as Plainville, KS

TSMC scores a big win over Samsung
Subject: General Tech | March 7, 2014 - 02:02 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: apple, Samsung, TSMC, rumour
According to the inside information that The Inquirer acquired, the next generation of Apple's SoC will be fabbed by TSMC not Samsung. The A8 will be a 64bit quad-core processor of unknown speed with a GPU described as a four-cluster configuration similar to the PowerVR G6430. This is not terribly surprising considering the abusive relationship that Apple and Samsung have developed over the past few years and will certainly swell TSMC's coffers. Even better TSMC will also pick up the manufacturing other parts of a variety of Apple devices, check the (rumoured) list out here.
"The next generation of Apple's custom system on a chip (SoC) for mobile devices will be manufactured by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) rather than Samsung, and so will several other chips to be used in the forthcoming iPhone 6, a report has claimed."

Nobody loves the iPhone 5c
Subject: General Tech | November 19, 2013 - 02:16 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: foxconn, apple, iphone 5c, iphone 5s
It would seem that the lower priced iPhone 5c is not very popular with Apple fans as the 5s model has sold twice as many units. This has required some changes be made to production lines at Foxconn and Pegatron as Apple's sales estimates of the two models were way off. Until the lines can be retooled to ramp up production of the more expensive model you can expect to wait a bit for your shiny new iThang to arrive. DigiTimes doesn't mention what will happen to existing supplies of 5c's, they may simply age in a warehouse until someone is willing to pay full price for one.
"Taiwanese electronics manufacturer Foxconn is shutting down production of the iPhone 5c in one of its factories in order to shift production to the higher-end iPhone 5s, sources claim."

During their annual event today at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Apple announced updates to their Mac lineups. After updating the MacBook Air with Haswell processors and teasing the new Mac Pro in June during WWDC, the rest of their offerings have seemed a little outdated.
Today, Apple started with a recap of the upgrades they have included in the next OS X release, Mavericks. Things like improved multi monitor support, and even more technical features like OpenCL support for integrated graphics and RAM compression were all talked about.
Perhaps the biggest news about OS X Mavericks is that it will be a free release to all users on 10.6 (Snow Leopard), 10.7 (Lion), or 10.8 (Mountain Lion), as long as their hardware is compatible. Mavericks is available today through the Mac App store.
Read on for more information about today's event, and the new hardware announced!
Apple Reports Fiscal Year 2013 Third Quarter Financial Results, Sell Record Number of iPhones
Subject: General Tech | July 24, 2013 - 06:48 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: OS X, mac, iphone, financial results, apple
Apple announced its financial results for its fiscal year 2013 Q3 yesterday, and it performed well. Note that Apple's fiscal Q3 2013 quarter ended on July 29, 2013.
Apple reported fiscal Q3 2013 revenue of $35.3 billion, and net profit of $6.9 billion. That works out to $7.47 per diluted share. During this quarter, Apple held its annual WWDC, and announced new operating systems for both its mobile and desktop products. The company sold 31.2 million iPhones (a record for Q3) 14.6 million iPads, and 3.8 million Macs. It sold slightly fewer iPads and Macs than the same quarter last year, but significantly more iPhones.
Compared to the same quarter last year, Apple increased overall revenue but saw less net profit and EPS. In fiscal Q3 2012 Apple has revenue of $35 billion, net profit of $8.8 billion, and EPS of $9.32 per diluted share. In FY Q3 2012, Apple sold 26 million iPhones, 17 million iPads, and 4 million Macs.
|FY'12 Q3 (YoY)

|$35 billion
|$34 to $37 billion
|Net Profit
|$6.9 billion
|$8.8 billion

|iPhones Sold
|31.2 million
|26 million
|iPads Sold

|17 million
|Macs Sold

|4 million
Apple has announced, as a result of its third quarter performance, a $3.05 dividend per common stock to be paid on August 15, 2013. It had $7.8 billion cash flow in FY 2013 Q3 and returned $18.8 billion of cash to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.
According to Apple, the company's outlook for its fourth quarter is promising, with expected revenue between $34 billion and $37 billion with a gross margin of between 36% and 37%. Apple expects to release both iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks later this year along with new products (like the new Mac Pro) this fall and next year.
Apple has seen a healthy boost in computer sales and adoption since the transition to Intel-based platforms in 2006, but the MacBook line has far and away been the biggest benefactor. Apple has come a long way both from an engineering standpoint and consumer satisfaction point since the long retired iBook and PowerBook lines. This is especially evident when you look at their current product lineup, and products like the 11" MacBook Air.
Even though it may not be the most popular opinion around here, I have been a Mac user since 2005 with the original Mac Mini, and I have used a MacBook as my primary computer since 2008. I switched to the 11" MacBook Air when it came out in 2011, and experienced the growing pains of using a low power platform as my main computer.
While I still have a desktop for the occasional video that I edit at home, or game I manage to find time to play, the majority of my day involves being portable. Both in class and at the office, and I quickly grew to appreciate the 11" form factor, as well as the portability it offers. However, I was quite dissatisfied with the performance and battery life that my ageing ultraportable offered. Desperate for improvements, I decided to see what two generations worth of Intel engineering afforded, and picked up the new Haswell-based 11" MacBook Air.
Since the redesign of the MacBook Air in 2010, the overall look and feel has stayed virtually the same. While the Mini DisplayPort connector on the side became a Thunderbolt connector in 2011, things are still pretty much the same.
In this way, the 2013 MacBook Air should provide no surprises. The one visual difference I can notice involves upgrading the microphone on the left side to a stereo array, causing there to be two grilles this time, instead of one. However, the faults I found in the past with the MacBook Air have nothing to do with the aesthetics or build quality of the device, so I am not too disappointed by the design stagnation.
From an industrial design perspective, everything about this notebook feels familiar to me, which is a positive. I still believe that Apple's trackpad implementation is the best I've used, and the backlit chiclet keyboard they have been using for years is a good compromise between thickness and key travel.

If you still want more news about Apple then The Tech Report is your place to be as they've just assembled an overview of the announcements which were made at WWDC. From OS X 10.9, also know as Mavericks to the new 2D iOS7 they have a bit of coverage on everything. While Airport Extreme Base Stations might not be overly interesting to the PC crowd, the new Mac Pro and Macbook Air models might be as you can easily re-purpose them into very expensive Windows machines. They've even joined the Cloud crowd, though if you really want to learn about that you should have been there.
"If there's one thing I learned from Monday's (June 10, 2013) keynote at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference, it's that demonstrations of technology are soooo much better than talking about technology. I know this because one of the main presenters, VP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi, told me so at least 39 times during his unveiling of OS X 10.9 Sea Lion. I can't argue with the man or his hair. Well played."

Apple introduces PCI-Express based SSD in new MacBook Air

Tagged: ultrabook, sandisk, Samsung, pci-e ssd, Marvell, MacBook Air, macbook, haswell, apple
As Scott covered earlier this week, Apple quietly announced an update to the MacBook Air line along side the headline-grabbing Mac Pro redesign preview. Being a MacBook Air user for the past 2 years, I decided it was time to replace my Sandy Bridge-based model with some new Haswell goodness. Today marked the first day of retail store availability, and I picked up an 11" model with 256GB SSD.
Naturally, when I got back to the office there was only one route to take, installing Windows and disassembling it. While Anand uncovered the fact that these MacBooks were hiding a new unadvertised option, in a PCI-Express based SSD, I wanted to check it out for myself.
When I did some digging, I discovered that while Anand found a Samsung based SSD in his MacBook, mine actually contained a model by Sandisk. I did a quick initial benchmark in OS X, and proceeded to inspect the hardware itself.
Apple turns over a new lead
Subject: General Tech | June 12, 2013 - 01:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: apple, wwdc
The Tech Report spent some time thinking about Apple's keynote yesterday and decided that it demonstrated a big change in Apple's corporate philosophy. Over the past year Apple has been bereft of direction after spending so much time with a single person at the helm and at the keynote they finally seemed to have found a new set of core values to lead their business. It seems that Craig Federighi is a much more personable leader, willing to stray from the script and poke fun at himself which is drastically different from the serious soliloquies which has represented Apple's pubic face for so long. Read on to see what they think these changes could imply for the future of Apple.
"There was something different about Apple during yesterday's WWDC keynote. According to TR's Cyril Kowaliski, that something was Apple's new soul—a new identity based not on one man's ego, but on human ideals we can connect with."

WWDC 13: Dissecting Apple's New Hardware Changes. MacBook Air and the new Mac Pro.
Subject: Editorial, General Tech, Systems, Shows and Expos | June 11, 2013 - 04:06 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: wwdc 13, MacBook Air, Mac Pro, apple
Sometimes our "Perspective" is needed on Apple announcements because some big points just do not get covered by the usual sources. Other times, portions of the story can be relevant to our readers. This is one of those days where both are true. Either side should review our thoughts and analysis of Apple's recent ultrabook and, especially, their upcoming desktop offerings.
The MacBook Air has been, predictably, upgraded Intel's Haswell processors. Battery life is the first obvious benefit of the CPU, and that has been well reported. The 11-inch MacBook Air gains an extra four hours of battery life, usable for up to 9 hours between charges. The extra space on the 13-inch MacBook Air allows it to last 12 hours between charges.
Less discussed, both MacBook Airs will contain Intel's Iris iGPU more commonly known as Intel HD 5000. You cannot get Intel HD 5000 graphics without selecting a BGA socket component which you would install by soldering it in place. While there are several better solutions from competing GPU vendors, Apple will have one of the first shipping implementations of Haswell's canonical graphics processor. Iris is said to have double the performance of previous generation Ivy Bridge graphics for a fraction of its power consumption.
Also included in the MacBook Air is an 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi network adapter and Bluetooth 4.0. Apple is not typically known to introduce new standards and often lags severely behind what is available on the PC unless they had a hand in trademarking it, USB 3.0 being the obvious and recent example.
The specifications will be somewhat customizable, the user is able to select between: an i5 and an i7 processor, 4GB or 8GB of RAM, and 128, 256, or 512GB SSD. It has shipped the day it was announced with base prices ranging between $999 for an entry-level 11-inch and $1099 for an entry-level 13-inch.
But now we move on to the dying industry, desktop PCs, where all innovation has died unless it is to graft a touch interface to anything and everything.
"Can't innovate any more, my ass", grunts Phil Schiller, on the keynote stage.
Whether you like it, or think "innovation" is the best word, it's a legitimate new design some will want.
While the new Mac Pro is not a system that I would be interested in purchasing, for issues I will outline soon, these devices are what some users really want. I have been a very strong proponent of OEM devices as they highlight the benefit of the PC industry: choice. You can purchase a device, like the new Mac Pro, from a vendor; alternatively, you can purchase the components individually to assemble yourself and save a lot of money; otherwise, you can hire a small business computer store or technician.
We need more companies, like Apple, to try new devices and paradigms for workstations and other high-performance devices. While it is less ideal for Apple to be the ones coming up with these redesigns, Apple's platform encourages applications to be vendor-specific (only run on a Mac), it can still benefit the PC industry by demonstrating that life and demand still exists; trying something new could reap large benefits. Not everyone wants to have a full ATX case with discrete components but still want workstation performance, and that is okay.
Now when it comes to actual specifications, the typical coverage glossed over what could be easily approximated by a trip to Wikipedia and Google. Sure, some may have been in a rush within the auditorium, but still.
The specifications are:
- Intel Xeon E5-2600 V2-class CPU, Ivy Bridge-E, 12 cores max (suggests single-socket)
- 4-channel DDR3 ECC RAM, apparently 4 DIMMS which suggests 4x16GB (Max).
Dual FirePro GPUs, 4096 total shaders with 2x6GB GDDR5.
- Pretty clearly based on FirePro W9000
- Seems to be slightly underclocked, losing about 0.5 Teraflop per GPU.
- PCIe SSD
- Thunderbolt 2, USB3.0, and WiFi ac (+ a/b/g/n??), Bluetooth 4.0
Now the downside is that basically anything you wish to add to the Mac Pro needs to be done through Thunderbolt, Bluetooth 4.0, or USB 3.0. When you purchase an all-in-one custom design, you forfeit your ability to reach in and modify the components. There is also no mention of pricing, and for a computer with this shoplist you should expect to pay a substantial invoice even without "The Apple Tax", but that is not the point of purchasing a high-end workstation. Apple certainly put in as close to the best-of-the-best as they could.
Now could people stop claiming the PC is dead and work towards sustaining it? I know people love stories of jarring industry shifts, but this is ridiculous.

CONCORD--The New Hampshire Supreme Court is seeking written comment from the public on proposed changes to the makeup and procedures of the Judicial Conduct Committee recently recommended by the "Task Force for the Renewal of Judicial Conduct Procedures."
Last fall, the court asked the Rev. Jonathan DeFelice, the president of St. Anselm College and attorney Wilfred L. Sanders Jr. of the Hampton-based law firm of Sanders & McDermott, to create the task force and lead a completely independent review of the JCC's work. The task force members included business, educational and religious leaders, a former governor, elected officials and representatives of the courts and the legal profession. After a public process that included a public hearing and open meetings, the task force had released its findings and recommendations to the judiciary, the legislature, the Governor and the public by January 10th.
The justices believe it is in the public interest for the court to move as expeditiously as possible to respond to the task force recommendations. The next step is for the court to bring citizens into the process and ask for their views. Comments will be accepted until March 2nd.
The court recognizes that each branch of government will assess its role with respect to the JCC and its operation. The legislature is also reviewing the task force report and other legislative proposals related to the JCC and the justices welcome input from legislators to achieve the best result for the people of New Hampshire.
"While the legislature wrestles with these issues and we do as well, public comment will be helpful in getting us to where we want to go," said Associate Justice Linda S. Dalianis, chairman of the court's Advisory Committee on Rules.
Recommendations in the January 5th task force report included a newly structured Judicial Conduct Commission; the creation of an advisory committee on judicial ethics, separate from the commission, and proposed amendments to the Code of Judicial Conduct.
In 1973, New Hampshire was among the first states to adopt a code of judicial conduct that had been approved just a few months earlier by the American Bar Association. With that action, our state formally recognized that supervision over the conduct of judges is essential to sustain public confidence in the justice system. Today, almost 30 years later, the court's commitment to that principle, enforced by the Judicial Conduct Committee, remains absolutely firm.
Last summer, it was clear that public confidence in the process for evaluating allegations against judges would be strengthened if the JCC were given more independence in its structure and internal procedures. Members of the JCC urged that changes be made.
The procedural recommendations are now complete and the task force expects to submit an additional report on operating rules within the next few weeks.
The committee report is available on-line. Comments can be e-mailed to the court at "email@example.com" or sent in written form to the court clerk's office. Printed copies of the report are available for review at the Supreme Court Building at One Noble Drive in Concord.
