Guest Post By Hani Nofal, regional manager in Cisco UAE
Hani Nofal
On Monday 25th April 2011, I attended the second annual Network World CPI Middle East Awards, which was held at the Address Hotel in Dubai Marina.
The evening brought together vendors, system integrators and end users who were all eagerly anticipating the winners announcement throughout the ceremony. Altogether, the awards comprised of 22 categories, which looked to celebrate innovative networking projects, end-users for their contribution to business, and vendors for their market leadership. Cisco has been shortlisted for the prestigious Networking Vendor of the year award – an award determined by votes, not a judging panel or committee.
To our absolute delight, Cisco won the most-coveted Networking Vendor of the year category. The win crowns our focus on defining true innovation and operational excellence to our customers in the region and a real testimony by our customers and partners.
Once we were nominated and shortlisted, the category was then opened to the public for voting to take place. Cisco received 1800 votes, which equated to 33% of the overall voting total – polling ahead of other shortlisted finalists. With a mixed feeling of excitement and confidence, it was indeed an honorable moment to get on stage and receive the award on behalf of Cisco.
Our achievement was also complemented by the success of our customers' innovation and business impact who were also recognized at the event for the end-user awards categories.
This is a another milestone for Cisco achievements in the Middle East as it demonstrates our commitment to deliver on Cisco's vision to lead emerging country innovation, prosperity, job creation, and social inclusion through life-changing networks.
Our work with nations through out the region to help utilize ICT to drive sustainable socioeconomic progress, secure affordable broadband networking, facilitate instant information access for businesses and enable world-class citizen services with better access to healthcare, education, and social services.
The winners in the vendor category were recognized for their outstanding performance and significant impact on the market. The criteria for winning included a variety of indicators, including product innovation, quality of services, major customer wins and commitment to the region.
To achieve these awards has been an extremely proud moment for Cisco, our partners and customers – a true, networking glory for all involved.

Boston Brown Bread
As tradition dictates, René Becker bakes this bread in coffee cans to produce loaves that slice into rounds. The bread can also be baked in 8-by-4-inch loaf pans.
Slideshow: Great Comfort Food Recipes
- Servings: MAKES 3 LOAVES
- 2 1/3 cups organic rye flour
- 1 1/4 cups organic all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups organic whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup organic oat flour
- 3/4 cup coarse stone-ground cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dried currants or blueberries (4 ounces)
- 1 quart milk
- 3/4 cup unsulphured molasses
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 300°. Generously butter three 10-ounce coffee cans. In a very large bowl, combine the rye, all-purpose, whole wheat and oat flours. Stir in the cornmeal, baking soda, baking powder, salt and dried fruit.
In a bowl, whisk the milk with the molasses. Slowly pour the liquid into the dry ingredients, stirring until the batter is smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared cans. Stand the cans in the center of the oven and bake for about 1 1/2 hours, or until the loaves are springy to the touch. Let cool slightly, then unmold. When the loaves have cooled to room temperature, wrap them in wax paper and store in the refrigerator in a sturdy plastic bag for up to 5 days.

Outfielder Carlos Gonzalez took batting practice and ran full speed around the bases before the game. His injured ankle is feeling better and he expects to return from the DL when he is eligible to next week.
Right-hander Kirk Saarloos got the start for the River Cats. He worked a quick 1-2-3 first inning, but ran into trouble in the second and third innings, when he allowed two runs in each frame. Only two of the four runs were earned.
Right-hander Randy Wells got the start for Iowa. He was brilliant, allowing only two hits and one walk in five innings. He struck-out four.
Saarloos beats Sam Fuld to first base on a 3-1 putout in the fourth.
Travis Buck made his first rehab start with the River Cats on Saturday. Buck, who is on the DL for Oakland with shin splints, played five innings in center-field. He grounded out twice and made this diving catch.
Shortstop Luis Figueroa follows through on a swing. He had a sacrifice fly, a hit and a walk in the game.
Second baseman Kevin Melillo makes a play.
Third baseman Casey McGehee fouls off a Saarloos offering.
Corey Coles and Figueroa converge on a Danny Putnam pop-up. Coles made the catch.
Putnam makes a catch of his own.
In the fifth, Melillo and Gregorio Petit combined to make the defensive play of the year thus far. Melillo ranged far to his right to snare a Josh Kroeger ground-ball. With his back to first base and his momentum taking him away from first, Melillo flipped the ball with his glove...
...to Petit, who bare-handed the ball, spun and threw in time to nip Kroeger at first.

Tens of thousands of trees have disappeared from parks and woodlands this winter across Greece, authorities said, in a worsening problem that has had tragic consequences as the crisis-hit country's impoverished residents, too broke to pay for electricity or fuel, turn to fireplaces and wood stoves for heat.
As winter temperatures bite, that trend is dealing a serious blow to the environment, as hillsides are denuded of timber and smog from fires clouds the air in Athens and other cities, posing risks to public health.

The National Institute on Aging (NIA) is accelerating the pace of Alzheimer's disease genetics research with a major new initiative to speed the process of creating a large repository of DNA and cell lines from families with multiple AD cases. The NIA's AD Genetics Initiative will intensify sample collection and encourage data sharing by providing access to the repository to qualified investigators. This new initiative is the result of a series of recommendations made by a team of AD geneticists during a spring 2002 workshop, to speed discovery of risk factor genes that may contribute to late-onset AD. Discovery of these genes is essential for understanding the causes of late-onset AD and for developing appropriate treatments and prevention strategies.
Late-onset AD is the most common form of the disease, accounting for 90-95 percent of all cases. It usually strikes people 65 years of age and older. Late-onset AD shows no obvious inheritance pattern. However, researchers have identified an increased risk of developing late-onset AD related to the apolipoprotein E (apoE) gene found on chromosome 19. This gene comes in several different forms, or alleles, but three occur most frequently: apoE2 (E2), apoE3 (E3), and apoE4 (E4).
People inherit one apoE allele from each parent. Having one or two copies of the E4 allele increases a person's risk of getting AD, but it does not mean that AD is certain. Some people with two copies of the E4 allele (the highest risk group) do not develop the disease, and others with no E4s do. The rarer E2 allele appears to be associated with a lower risk of AD. The E3 allele is the most common form found in the general population and may play a neutral role in AD. Scientists cannot determine the exact degree of risk of AD for any given person based on their apoE status.
Early-onset AD, or familial AD, is much rarer and has been conclusively linked to mutations in three genes--the APP gene on chromosome 21, the PS1 gene on chromosome 14, and PS2 on chromosome 1. If only one mutation on one of these genes is present, early-onset AD will almost certainly occur. Early-onset AD is the result of an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, meaning that all offspring in the same generation have a 50/50 chance of developing AD if one of their parents had the genetic mutation. Early-onset AD strikes people as young as age 30.
Scientists have made great progress in the 10 years since apoE4 was identified as a risk factor gene, in narrowing the search for other risk factor genes that may have links to late-onset AD. They have drawn significantly closer to identifying at least four regions of chromosomes where other risk factor genes might be. Intriguing evidence has been uncovered during recent studies, but further analysis of larger sample sets is needed.
Recognizing that much larger sets of AD samples is key to continuing the progress made to date and speeding up late-onset AD genetics research, science administrators in the NIA's Neuroscience and Neuropsychology of Aging Program (NNA) brought together leading experts for a workshop. Their discussions centered on how to expand DNA sample collection, standardize data collection, improve access to that data for funded and commercial researchers, and how to rapidly share data to identify and corroborate new risk factor genes.
Workshop participants agreed that an important component of the NIA's genetics initiative will be a new emphasis on recruiting large families with two or (preferably) more members - known as multiplex families - who have late-onset AD. Collecting blood samples from affected and unaffected family members, to create and maintain cell lines for DNA analysis will aid in the hunt for new genes. This will allow researchers to spend more time on experiments, and less time on the expensive and arduous task of collecting appropriate samples.
"This is extremely important research and we are very pleased to be in a position to recruit subjects to organize sample collection, and to offer well-characterized samples to many of the world's leading AD genetics experts. If the search for risk factor genes is successful, then there are broad implications for future treatments," said Dr. Richard Hodes, NIA Director.
A centralized repository at Indiana University - the National Cell Repository for AD (NCRAD) - is expanding its collection facilities as part of this new initiative. Ten Alzheimer's Disease Centers (ADCs) have been provided with supplemental funding to recruit new individuals for genetics research and deposit their blood samples with NCRAD. NIA hopes to gather between 1,000 and 2,000 samples for study.
NCRAD has been banking DNA and cells and building a database of family histories and medical records for qualified researchers since 1989. The Repository was established to provide genetic researchers with cell lines and/or DNA samples from people with well-documented AD and from controls. Many researchers working to identify genetic defects associated with AD have used genetic material stored in the Repository.
Because supplies of DNA are finite and cannot be regenerated, NCRAD makes "immortalized" cell lines - cells continuously regenerated in the laboratory from the blood samples - in order to provide samples for the exhaustive studies needed to identify risk factor genes. NNA Associate Director Marcelle Morrison-Bogorad, PhD, commented, "The process of identifying these risk factor genes is incredibly complicated and time consuming. This new initiative on genetics research has great potential to revolutionize early diagnosis and target better drug treatments. It is an important component of the NIA's AD research efforts."
In 2003, AD genetics researchers are planning a national case-control sample set, in which the genes of individuals with AD (case) are compared to those who have no symptoms of the disease (control). Workshop participants arrived at consensus that creating such a sample set, against which potential candidates for risk factor genes for late-onset AD can be evaluated, is also essential.
Existing population-based datasets, such as the Framingham study, the Honolulu Heart study, the Nurses study, and the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, could also help scientists evaluate gene-environment interactions. In addition, researchers have access to the valuable AD genetics database maintained by the National Institute of Mental Health.
To enhance diversity of analysis, promote new research, and permit creation of new datasets from previously collected data, the National Institutes of Health is adopting a scientific data sharing policy. This policy encourages a freer flow of information among NIH-supported researchers and will help in exchange of information. Further information on the draft policy can be found at: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/policy/data_sharing/index.htm [1].
Genetic research is often the only way scientists can pin down the root causes of a disease, but genetic research also presents unique problems for obtaining informed consent. Informed consent is the process by which a fully informed patient or research subject can make choices related to participation in health care and/or medical research. In genetics research, benefits and risks of the research may affect the individual, his/her family, or the community in which the individual lives. Therefore, potential research participants should be given sufficient information about the implications and limitations of the research to allow them to make an informed choice of whether to participate or not.
Using plain language they understand, they should be told the purpose of the research, procedures to be used, possible outcomes, potential benefits to the participants and others, any discomfort expected from participation, how the resulting information will be communicated, and how confidentiality will be maintained. Subjects should be informed about the collection and disposition of blood and tissue samples, storage of data and samples, sharing with other investigators, and potential commercial implications. For genetics research there are risks that disclosure of results could influence life choices, affecting the individual directly, disrupting family dynamics and leading to social stigmatization and possible discrimination that may influence insurability. Therefore, protection from disclosure is very important and "firewalls" should be established to guard against disclosure. These procedures should be outlined during the consent process. Since participation in research is voluntary, subjects should be given the opportunity to withdraw at any time.
Of particular interest to genetics researchers is the collection of samples from ethnic/minority populations and other special populations, including African Americans, the Amish, Hispanics, Asians, Japanese-Americans, and Africans. NIA staff plan to develop community outreach programs and collaborate with institutions and investigators who have close ties to minority communities, professional societies and institutions.
Dr. Richard Mayeux, Co-Director, Columbia University ADC, has investigated AD genetic risk factors in specific populations in New York and the Caribbean and has been appointed as the Genetics Initiative Study Coordinator. He commented, "We're very pleased by the extent to which NIA is supporting genetics research. We're looking forward to working with the ADCs and the Alzheimer's Association to educate the public on the value of participating in sample collection. We hope that people with AD will want to share their blood and data to help in the search for causes, treatment, and prevention."
Families interested in participating can contact the National Cell Repository for Alzheimer's Disease at 1-800-526-2839 or 1-317-274-7360. Jamalynne Stuck, MS, is the Genetic Counselor and Research Coordinator, and she can be reached via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com [2]. Their Internet address is www.ncrad.org [3].

The dominance of London's position as the business capital of Europe was laid bare today, with new data showing 40% of the globe's biggest companies choose to base themselves here rather than elsewhere in the continent.
Two in five of the 250 largest companies in the world with a main or European headquarters have it in London, according to a study by Deloitte seen exclusively by the London Evening Standard. That is five times as many as pick Paris, the second-most popular city in Europe.
The gap grows even larger when looking at just the non-European companies, with 60% of them having their European headquarters in London.
The study shows that London also comes out the winner as a destination for top talent; nearly half of all high-skilled workers in the top five European business cities are employed here. Paris again comes second, with 19%, followed by Berlin (13.7%), Milan (11%) and Frankfurt (9.8%).
London's dominance in attracting Europe's top talent contrasts with New York. While the Big Apple has the largest proportion of high-skilled workers from across North America's top five cities, it only accounts for just under a third of the total.
Angus Knowles-Cutler, a senior partner at Deloitte, said the "sheer gap between [London] and any continental rivals really surprised us. It is hard to imagine the US economy without New York at its heart, but the facts here show that London is even more vital to European business and commerce."
However, the study also sparked a warning from figures in the City over the prospect of an in/out EU referendum.
"One of the main reasons companies come to London is because the city is a springboard to Europe — the biggest single market in the world," said Baroness Jo Valentine, chief executive of business group London First.
"If we are left outside of the EU after a referendum we would no longer be able to offer that prize to businesses and London would suffer because of it."
Deloitte also reiterated its call for the Government to overhaul visa rules with an "intelligent" system that will allow London to keep attracting high-skilled workers to the capital.
Other measures the firm is calling for include the appointment of a "chief talent officer", responsible for London's approach to attracting workers, and more work to tackle the problem of the increased cost of housing.
London Mayor Boris Johnson promised to "consider this report's recommendations carefully", saying: "Long-term planning is essential to maintain and strengthen the city's position as the greatest city in the world."Reuse content

Can I Skip the Cake?
There are certain traditions, like cutting the cake, that are okay to omit. Instead of cake, you may opt for something that provides more variety such as a candy bar or a selection of pies—it's up to you.
If you do skip the cake, be aware that the cake cutting ceremony and serving of dessert is typically the signal to guests that it is okay to leave without being rude.

Kate Upton Drops By "Today"
She was just named the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover girl for the second year in a row, and Kate Upton celebrated with a trip to the "Today" show this morning (February 12).
The buxom blonde supermodel was in good spirits as she chatted about her unusual photo shoot in the icy land of Antarctica.
Upton began, "I was very surprised by the news that [Antarctica] was where my shoot was going to be located… It was freezing! I'm from Florida so it wasn't great for me. Obviously the pictures now, it's incredible. I can't believe we were able to accomplish that."
And though it was quite chilly, Kate relied on some animal friends to keep her going. "The penguins kept me going. They're adorable and any time I was like, 'I can't do it anymore ,' I would look at them and I was like, 'Okay, for them [I can do it].' I was doing it for the penguins."
Kate also got out her own camera and directed the anchors in an impromptu photo shoot while giving them specific instructions on how to look their best.
Enjoy the pictures of Kate Upton on the 'Today Show' (February 12).

What is the Michel Thomas Method? The Michel Thomas Method teaches everyday conversational languages that will allow you to communicate in a wide variety of situations, empowered by the ability to create your own sentences and use the language instinctively, having absorbed the vocabulary and grammatical structures. These all-audio courses were perfected over 25 years by gifted linguist and teacher, Michel Thomas. The recordings provide an accelerated method for language learning that is truly revolutionary.
Lessons 1-8, the Beginner course: This course makes no assumption of knowledge of any language other than English, and gives the beginner practical and functional use of the spoken language. It is also appropriate for anyone who has studied Portuguese before, but has forgotten much of it or does not have confidence in speaking. The Beginner course is designed to take you from complete beginner to intermediate level.
Lessons 9-12, the Intermediate course: This course is for those with an intermediate-level foundation in Portuguese, or those who have completed lessons 1-8 and want to take their learning to an advanced level and speak Portuguese proficiently and easily.
How does it work?
Unlike most language courses that focus around topics or grammar forms, the Michel Thomas Method works by breaking a language down into its component parts, enabling you to reconstruct the language yourself - to form your own sentences, to say what you want, when you want. Within the first 10 minutes of the course, you will be generating complete sentences on your own. It is important that you complete the lessons in order. The Method is successful because it builds on the language you learn in each lesson and 'recycles' language taught in earlier lessons, allowing you to build ever-more complicated sentences. Because the Method is based on understanding, not memorisation, there is no set limit to the length of time that you should study each lesson.
Once you feel you have a good grasp of the language taught in one lesson, you can move on to the next. In the first lesson of the Portuguese Beginner course, you'll be able to state what you want and ask questions with the following:

Very good, I've only listening a few times but I am able to pick up on words when my other half & his family are talking Portuguese. Shame it ends so abruptly.
"Well paced narration"
Pleasant understandable informative
Narrator's teaching method
European Portuguese pronunciation and focus on local accent
The accurate version by paulo at the end of each section
Listen several times for increased results
"Great course, but buy CDs instead"
I am a great fan of Michel Thomas language courses, so the problem is not the content. However, since language courses are all available on CD it is far better value to buy the CD's load into itunes and then resell the CDs on ebay.
Way too short and useless
Poorly edited!!
Confusing because they make a lot of mistakes
"Pablo Cancinos "
disappointed because it was the same material as the introductory therefore I just lost my money...

waterproofing under threshold
6 Attachment(s)
Hi all,
We are installing a front door threshold (metal to replace old wooden one) and need to know what to put beneath it (on sill) to ensure the doorway is sealed and won't leak. (attached photos). When subfloor was removed before we retiled entry, we noticed some old water intrusion stains near/beneath sides of door. We removed old wood threshold and found a 3/4 in. gap in the sill where we cleaned out all the spider nests and put a strip of wood with weatherstriping on top. Should we simply caulk sides where jams meet sill to prevent water intrusion and caulk under/around new threshold (shown temporarily installed) or is there more we should do? We have one good weather weekend left. Thanks!
About all you can do with that syle is set it in a bed of silicone caulking.
On an old house like that this style is far better and since an old house is almost never level this one can be adjusted to make up for it.
Your also going to find the seal on the top of the one you bought is going to wear out and keep coming out of the track.
If you are removing and replacing the door you can make an aluminum pan out of aluminum flashing to place under the door, any water will run back out instead of rotting the ceils and such. If you need instructions how to make a ceil pan let us know.
waterproofing threshold
Thanks JoeCaption and BigJim, for your suggestions. Sounds like our best option at this point is silicone caulk under new threshold, since we don't want to replace sill this summer -- cool, rainy weather coming. I had read about "vcor plus" on the "old house" site, but that comes in giant rolls. Next spring we'll be in position to replace sill and possibly door unit, but hope to get thru this year w/out water issues. The tiling in entryway worked out well (over plywood and Ditra). Thanks for tips.

Overstating the Benefits of Consolidation
In 2011, residents voted to merge Princeton Township and Princeton Borough into a single town - Princeton. This week, in his state of the state speech, Governor Christie held up Princeton as a shining example of what consolidation can do to reduce the cost of services in New Jersey towns. He claimed a savings in one year of $3 million.
But Planet Princeton says that "$3 million" in savings is a myth that was debunked last year. Mary Mann with New Jersey News Commons has been following the story and speaks with New Jersey Public Radio's David Furst.

Submitted to: University of Idaho Miscellaneous Publication
Publication Type: Trade Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 3/31/2010
Publication Date: 4/22/2010
Citation: Tarkalson, D.D., Bjorneberg, D.L. 2010. Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilizer Placement in Corn Production. Nutrient Digest, Nutrient Management Newsletter for Idaho, University of Idaho Extension. 1(3). Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The use of strip tillage and other conservation tillage practices are used to conserve soil and soil water through residue management and reduce tillage costs in many areas of the Corn Belt. However, in the Pacific Northwest these tillage practices are less common. Strip tillage is becoming more common in the sugar beet industry in southern Idaho and due to the high dairy cow populations, corn production is increasing. The dual use of strip tillage for sugar beet and corn production will likely continue to develop, increasing the need for strip tillage best management practices in this region. In this study we evaluated the effects of common and logical nitrogen and phosphorus placements with strip tillage and conventional tillage on grain yield on four sites during 2007 and 2009 at the USDA-ARS Northwest Irrigation & Soils Research Laboratory at Kimberly, ID. Band placement of fertilizer with strip tillage increased corn grain yield by 12.5 percent (11 bu per acre) and 25.9 percent (26 bu per acre) on the eroded locations compared to broadcast nitrogen and phosphorus and 2 by 2 nitrogen (2 inches to the side and below seed with planter) under conventional tillage in 2007 and 2009, respectively. Reduced costs of strip tillage with associated band placement of fertilizer could increase the economic productivity of many acres of eroded/low fertility land in the Pacific Northwest used for corn grain production.

Capital wine wins award for vineyardless vintage
By Pauline Askin
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Australia's capital Canberra, known more for political infighting than vintages, may be about to start making its mark on the international wine scene with help from Eden Road Wines, which on Monday took a national award.
What's more, the company is a two-year-old upstart that doesn't even own its own vineyard.
"I feel very privileged," Eden Road winemaker Nick Spencer told Reuters. "I was amongst some very well regarded winemakers and wineries, so it was an honor and quite humbling to have won such an award."
Eden Road was named Best New Winery at the inaugural Good Wine Awards in South Australia, where 1,250 wines were tasted and 35 wines and wineries won awards.
It represents a new breed of wineries which don't own their own vineyards, choosing instead to cart grapes in from around the region.
"Our company has only been around for two years so we're still trying to find our feet, but it's not unusual now to not own vineyards," said Spencer, who media said took the award with the first vintage produced under his own label.
Out of 1250 wines tasted, 35 wines and wineries were honored at the inaugural awards.
Though the Canberra region has been far from famous among Australia's 60 designated wine regions up until now, this may be about to change, said awards presenter Nick Stock, also the author of a wine guidebook. Continued...

Fans stunned by Rihanna-Chris Brown reconciliation
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Fans of singers Chris Brown and Rihanna expressed dismay on Saturday at reports the couple had reunited just three weeks after Brown was alleged to have assaulted her.
Celebrity magazines People and Us Weekly said that the R&B stars were spending time together at the Miami home of hip hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs -- and that Rihanna's father was supporting her decision.
"I love my daughter with whatever road she takes. I'm behind her win or lose. I will be supportive. If that's the road she wants to choose, I'm behind her," Rihanna's dad Ronald Fenty told Us Weekly from his Barbados home.
Fans could scarcely believe the news that came a week after a picture, showing the 21-year-old "Umbrella" singer with bruises to her face and swollen lips, was leaked on the Internet.
"All the abusive men are celebrating," Highroller33138 wrote in a posting on the MTV.com website. "It sets a terrible example for women everywhere. Rihanna really disappointed me."
"Stupid, really stupid. ... I hate women like this," wrote ladyofthelake in a posting on TVGuide.com.
On Friday People quoted an unidentified source saying the couple, who had been dating for about a year, were back together.
"They care for each other. While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves," the source told People. Continued...

UPDATE 2-North American mining stocks fall on debt fears despite strong results
(Recasts with more investor comment, gold sector context; adds closing share prices)
By Nicole Mordant and Susan Taylor
VANCOUVER/TORONTO, July 23 (Reuters) - North American mining stocks slumped on Thursday, stripping two global producers of hundreds of millions of dollars in value, as market-beating results failed to appease investors fed up with bloated debt and hefty capital commitments.
The selloff, led by Freeport-McMoRan and Teck Resources, set the stage for a rough reporting season, as miners trudge through the fourth year of a commodity downturn.
Investors must scrutinize mining stocks and their debt loads, said Darren Lekkerkerker, co-manager of the Fidelity Global Natural Resources Fund, which has only about 4 percent of its investments in mining.
"You need to really be careful about owning those stocks, because as the commodity price comes down, when they have a lot of leverage, cash flow is really going to come down too," said Lekkerkerker.
"No one wants to own stocks where they may need to do an equity issue in order to shore up the balance sheet."
The stock of U.S.-based diversified miner and energy producer Freeport closed down 9 percent at $13.64, while Teck fell 4.6 percent to C$9.93. Both slid to six-year lows earlier, slashing $1.8 billion in market value from Freeport and C$600 million ($460 million) from Teck.
Freeport said Thursday its debt rose 3 percent in the June quarter. Continued...

Firestone High School senior running back Cody Grice gave an oral commitment to play football on scholarship at the University of Akron.
Grice, 6-foot and 240 pounds, said he plans to major in sports medicine at UA.
"I basically noticed that there are not many Akron kids on the Akron roster, and I want to help change that," Grice said. "I want to contribute to Akron."
Grice has rushed for 1,194 rushing yards on 153 carries and scored 14 touchdowns for Firestone this season. Firestone (6-3, 5-0) and Buchtel (6-3, 5-0) play Friday night at 7 p.m. in the City Series Championship game on UA's campus at InfoCision Stadium.
"I think he liked the new staff and that they offered him last spring," Firestone coach Tim Flossie said. "They showed their interest right away. It is an opportunity to play right away and kids are looking for. I also think the way Akron has fixed up the campus impressed Cody. They really have good academic programs, sports teams and facilities."
The Zips are currently 0-8 this season under first-year coach Rob Ianello, but Grice is confident the team will improve soon.]ep
"My pops and I are not really worried about them not doing too good this year because we already know it is going to take a couple of years before Ianello's recruiting classes come in and make an impact," Grice said. "I think I can come in and contribute to their success."
Flossie said Grice and senior offensive lineman Tommy Brown, an Ohio State recruit, are two main reasons the Falcons are playing the Griffins for a City Series title.
"The big thing with Cody is his leadership," Flossie said. "He and Tommy Brown have both been good leaders and captains."
Grice said he plans to graduate from Firestone in January and then attend UA.
"They recruited me as a full back, but I have a chance to be the starting tailback," Grice said. "I visited Akron and I have been to three games this year.
"I have been to some Big East schools and Akron's facilities are better than theirs. I have been living in Akron all my life. I have seen the school evolve from just being mediocre to a high class school."

DS learned how to read before I pulled him out of ps. But it was the whole language approach, and now that he's ready to move up, I can tell he knows little to nothing about phonics. This is causing my little guy lots of frustration!
I bought Phonic Pathways... but, what I've discovered, is that I barely understand how phonics work, and thus can barely teach it! I understand things like "Sh" makes the shhhhh sound, but I get into the long/short vowel thing and I'm done. Trying to teach "oo" just got my ds to laugh at me! The fact that I'm hearing impaired probably doesn't help.
I'd love a phonics program that came with an audio CD or CD/DVD-ROM for the computer to help us with pronunciation.
Any recs? TIA
Mom, wife, full-time student. And tired. DH, DS#1 (9/99) and DS#2 (9/09), and 2 dogs.
There is good research to show that phonics is a method that most children learn to read in spite of rather than because of. Very few children *need* it. Research for Albsu in the UK found that adult illiteracy was highest in those groups who went through schooling where phonics was the only method employed :-(
Anyhow - I completely understand the 'can't do phonics' thing - it leaves me cold as well. Technically I know how it works, but it doesn't 'work' in my mind - I learnt to read from a whole word setting, with spelling out letters to my parents for words I didn't 'see' (they'd tell me what it was, and I'd remember it for the next time I met it). I've done this with 2 of mine now, and its worked fine. Learn alphabet (letter names), learn key words (there are lists out there online - only around 100 words make up the majority of everything we read!), do basic sentance contructions with cards or magnets or whatever (initally based on sentances that are from familar books or that they use in daily life or come up with themselves. Then moving on to books that they know (real ones, rather than reading schemes mainly) and giving them tapes to listen and follow the book to, dual copies to read along with me, having them put in words as we read together.... We find that its a much more natural progression, and the whole 'reading together' is very much how our ancestors would have all learnt (from the bible and other household texts) anyway :-)
I am not sure if doing stuff online at starfall.com would be helpful.
Like, because he did whole language, he skips over new words and just says a word he knows. Like, he was reading something and the next word was "cause." So, he's reading, and he says, "can." It's like he's identified some of the letters with certain sight words, and then he's just rattling them off. It's getting frustrating for both of us!
Johannas, thanks for the info. I'm going to check it out!
Mom, wife, full-time student. And tired. DH, DS#1 (9/99) and DS#2 (9/09), and 2 dogs.
I have alot of phonics games because dd's pre-k gave us her old stuff from kindy and she does really well with the games. I also bought phonics tiles for playing with.
There is some evidence that shows that if the child substitues "can" for "cause" and you don't correct it, he is gaining a good sense of the word can and you can later after he is done reading, go back and talk about cause.
(where did I read that...shared storybook reading maybe?)
I know that I often will see the wrong form of a word or a mispelling and correct it on my own because many times it is a filler word (can, the, etc) and not important to the context.

short vowels are the sounds one hears in the words:
Long vowels are just the names of the vowels.
Some of the vowels can make other sounds as well:
I used to tutor literacy and therefore know phonics inside and out. If you have any questions, just ask. It's possible that what you have will work just fine if you just ask a few questions when you are confused. We all learn all sorts of things by homeschooling.
A makes 3 sounds -- a in cat, its name, and the sound you hear in words like mall and father.
O also makes 3 sounds -- O in dog, its name, and the sound you hear in words like do and to.
If you want something different, though...
My favorite resource for phonics is Reading Reflex. It has little puzzles that you cut out of the book and then your child plays with. It is very good for basic phonics, but I don't like the structure of book for advanced phonics. It cost about $20. It's a great place to start -- very fun, very open ended.
If your child likes workbooks, The Go For the Code series is well written and straight forward.
The most detailed program is The Writing Road to Writing. It is far more detail than most kids need, though with certain LDs it can be helpful (I would only recommend it as a last resort).
I personally think that I nice mix of phonics and whole language works well, the exact mix varying with the child. Without phonics, a child doesn't have any tools to approach a new word, and no real help when trying to spell. It isn't the whole story, but some phonics is a good thing.
but everything has pros and cons
I have read that even if a person starts to read at a very young age, at age eight will be at the same reading level as somebody who learned to read at age eight.
Anyway, OP, learning phonics is the (necessary) grunt work of reading (like memorizing times tables). Perhaps you can start with something simple like flash cards. I recently purchased a little book from Amazon that is so awesome. It's small, cheap, and just so easy and common sense. It is: http://www.amazon.com/Three-Rs-Ruth-...2874771&sr=8-1
I have a bunch of other links I can pull out later today about teaching reading.
And yes, being HI would make this much harder. The vast majority of kids will intuit phonetic knowledge on their own, as Helen pointed out, especially once they get the basics down. It's funny - I'm learning Arabic now, and I'm finding myself doing the same thing. Sometimes I understand why a sound must be represented by a certain letter, rather than another letter, even though no one has explained the "rule" - but when I think about it, I realize that I've read other words with the same sounds and I'm just following the pattern.
Single mom to Rain (1/93) , grad student, and world traveler
My kids also like the "Between the Lions" TV show on PBS. There are a bunch of cute shorts that illustrate various aspects of phonics (including oo).
since it is free the 4 page links you want to open are the ones in the middle of the page i would have to ask my dd what the other things do but then i would lose the pc
Hi, Sharon! I'm Linda, and I"m just happy to be here
[INDENT]A makes 3 sounds -- a in cat, its name, and the sound you hear in words like mall and father.
Okay, so am I the only one who does not think the words "mall" and "father" contain the same sound? Is this my "midwest" accent DH is always accusing me off? Because frankly, "mall" and "father" have VERY different vowel sounds in them, the way I (and everyone else in the general area) says them. Here, "father" is pronounced with the same sound as in "top" or "Hot". I'm just saying.......
Whole language is not whole-word (the old "look-say" method). Whole language includes meaningful phonics. Phonics programs teach phonics in isolation, primarily - r makes the sound /r/, etc. Whole language teaches in context - this word starts with the same letter as your name, so the first sound must be /r/.
Meaningful phonics in a whole language approach requires the parent understand phonics and can show the child how to apply it to whatever reading material appeals to the child.
but everything has pros and cons
Just so you guys know, I didn't mean to start a phonics vs whole language (or word or whatever) debate. I mean, keep the ideas coming because I'm learning alot! This is an area I don't know much about and I guess I've never formed an opinion either way. I remember when my son was in ps he was in "Reading Recovery." (Talk about a name! "My name is Eric, and I'm here because I've been placed in the bottom 20% in reading in my class." LOL)
The way the resource teacher "taught" me to help him read totally confused me, and I'm usually pretty quick to learn things. And, Eric didn't seem all that thrilled about it, either. I guess I just figured phonics was the way I learned, maybe it would be easier to teach and he would like the new approach. I'm really not worried about his reading level- I think he does fine. But, he's really expressed a desire to read more advanced things and learn to spell more words. So, I knew I could come here and find all kinds of good advice!
So, the point of this rambling post @ 2am (other than the margarita I had with dinner) is to say that I love information about all types of reading styles! Please keep it coming!
Thanks again!

I hope everything works out, Sharon. It looks like there are lots of useful programs out there.
I hope I didn't come off as argumentative before. My comments weren't directed at anyone on this thread, just toward the debate in general, which I heard a lot of in college and in the professional teaching world.

When 2 vowels go walking
the first one does the talking
in "heat" you hear the "e" and not the "a".
And, of course, the only word in that phrase with two vowels in a row is does, which does not follow the rule. I've also heard it as "When two vowels go out walking," and of course out also doesn't follow the rule...

If you're a regular reader of TrustedReviews you'll know the Digital Economy Act is of great interest to us and if you've ever used the Internet it should be for you too. Thankfully this legislation which is both rotten to the core and a fundamental breach of human rights is coming under increasing pressure...
The back end of last week saw BT and TalkTalk announce they have filed papers with the High Court asking for a judicial review. They (rightly) claim provisions in the Act received insufficient scrutiny before being rushed through in the so-called 'Wash Up' legislative period at the end of the last parliament.
"It's disappointing that we feel the need to take action but we feel we have no choice. We have to do this for our customers who otherwise run the risk of being treated unfairly," said BT Retail CEO Gavin Patterson. "Our dispute is not with the current Government but with the previous administration which pushed this through without due process. We need clarity about whether this legislation is compatible with important EU laws."
"The Digital Economy Act's measures will cost the UK hundreds of millions and many people believe they are unfair, unwarranted and won't work," added TalkTalk chairman Charles Dunstone. "We think the previous Government's rushed approach resulted in flawed legislation. That's why we need a Judicial Review by the High Court as quickly as possible before lots of money is spent on implementation."
Dunstone also points out new deputy prime minister Nick Clegg has already called for the Act's repeal. In April Clegg admitted:
"We did our best to prevent the Digital Economy Bill being rushed through at the last moment. It badly needed more debate and amendment, and we are extremely worried that it will now lead to completely innocent people having their internet connections cut off. It was far too heavily weighted in favour of the big corporations and those who are worried about too much information becoming available. It badly needs to be repealed, and the issues revisited."
Why is everyone, including us, so concerned about the #debill as it became known on Twitter? Go hide behind the couch, cover your eyes, peak through your fingers and read on...

Trying to get preggy
I have been trying to get pregnant for a long time. I am 64 kg and 5 feet in height. After a laboratory and ultrasound the doctor told me that I have a PCOS Poly-cystic Ovarian Cyst. I am not having my menstruation for almost a year. Can these be the reasons why I can't conceive??

App Maps the Unbuilt Potential of the New York City Skyline
Matt Shaw shares news of the Accidental Skyline project, which is "a set of online maps that illustrate where possible development could occur in Gotham. The maps…allow citizens to track land that has available development rights and see how it could impact their neighborhood."
"The maps highlight the impacts of development on parks, open space, infrastructure, and skyline, and were made possible by the Department of City Planning's public release of MapPLUTO data last year. They've been updated to include transportation routes, parks, and New York Housing Authority land overlays to present a more comprehensive picture of planning issues."
The project is the work of the Municipal Art Society, which created the maps as a tool "to work with the city to make regulatory changes that will better protect iconic public spaces."

Argument Realization in Syntax
Malka Rappaport Hovav
Words are sensitive to syntactic context. Argument realization is the study of the relation between argument-taking words, the syntactic contexts they appear in and the interpretive properties that constrain the relation between them.
Bare Nominals
Bert Le Bruyn, Henriëtte de Swart, and Joost Zwarts
Bare nominals (also called "bare nouns") are nominal structures without an overt article or other determiner. The distinction between a bare noun and a noun that is part of a larger nominal structure must be made in context: Milk is a bare nominal in I bought milk, but not in I bought the milk. Bare nouns have a limited distribution: In subject or object position, English allows bare mass nouns and bare plurals, but not bare singular count nouns (*I bought table). Bare singular count nouns only appear in special configurations, such as coordination (I bought table and chairs for £182).
From a semantic perspective, it is noteworthy that bare nouns achieve reference without the support of a determiner. A full noun phrase like the cookies refers to the maximal sum of cookies in the context, because of the definite article the. English bare plurals have two main interpretations: In generic sentences they refer to the kind (Cookies are sweet), in episodic sentences they refer to some exemplars of the kind (Cookies are in the cabinet). Bare nouns typically take narrow scope with respect to other scope-bearing operators like negation.
The typology of bare nouns reveals substantial variation, and bare nouns in languages other than English may have different distributions and meanings. But genericity and narrow scope are recurring features in the cross-linguistic study of bare nominals.
Franz Rainer
Blocking can be defined as the non-occurrence of some linguistic form, whose existence could be expected on general grounds, due to the existence of a rival form. *Oxes, for example, is blocked by oxen, *stealer by thief. Although blocking is closely associated with morphology, in reality the competing "forms" can not only be morphemes or words, but can also be syntactic units. In German, for example, the compound Rotwein 'red wine' blocks the phrasal unit *roter Wein (in the relevant sense), just as the phrasal unit rote Rübe 'beetroot; lit. red beet' blocks the compound *Rotrübe. In these examples, one crucial factor determining blocking is synonymy; speakers apparently have a deep-rooted presumption against synonyms. Whether homonymy can also lead to a similar avoidance strategy, is still controversial. But even if homonymy blocking exists, it certainly is much less systematic than synonymy blocking.
In all the examples mentioned above, it is a word stored in the mental lexicon that blocks a rival formation. However, besides such cases of lexical blocking, one can observe blocking among productive patterns. Dutch has three suffixes for deriving agent nouns from verbal bases, -er, -der, and -aar. Of these three suffixes, the first one is the default choice, while -der and -aar are chosen in very specific phonological environments: as Geert Booij describes in The Morphology of Dutch (2002), "the suffix -aar occurs after stems ending in a coronal sonorant consonant preceded by schwa, and -der occurs after stems ending in /r/" (p. 122). Contrary to lexical blocking, the effect of this kind of pattern blocking does not depend on words stored in the mental lexicon and their token frequency but on abstract features (in the case at hand, phonological features).
Blocking was first recognized by the Indian grammarian Pāṇini in the 5th or 4th century
Computational Phonology
Jane Chandlee and Jeffrey Heinz
Computational phonology studies the nature of the computations necessary and sufficient for characterizing phonological knowledge. As a field it is informed by the theories of computation and phonology.
The computational nature of phonological knowledge is important because at a fundamental level it is about the psychological nature of memory as it pertains to phonological knowledge. Different types of phonological knowledge can be characterized as computational problems, and the solutions to these problems reveal their computational nature. In contrast to syntactic knowledge, there is clear evidence that phonological knowledge is computationally bounded to the so-called regular classes of sets and relations. These classes have multiple mathematical characterizations in terms of logic, automata, and algebra with significant implications for the nature of memory. In fact, there is evidence that phonological knowledge is bounded by particular subregular classes, with more restrictive logical, automata-theoretic, and algebraic characterizations, and thus by weaker models of memory.
Copular Constructions in Syntax
Marcel den Dikken and Teresa O'Neill
Copular sentences (sentences of the form A is B) have been prominent on the research agenda for linguists and philosophers of language since classical antiquity, and continue to be shrouded in considerable controversy. Central questions in the linguistic literature on copulas and copular sentences are (a) whether predicational, specificational, identificational, and equative copular sentences have a common underlying source; and, if so, (b) how the various surface types of copular sentences are derived from that underlier; (c) whether there is a typology of copulas; and (d) whether copulas are meaningful or meaningless.
The debate surrounding the postulation of multiple copular sentence types relies on criteria related to both meaning and form. Analyses based on meaning tend to focus on the question of whether or not one of the terms is a predicate of the other, whether or not the copula contributes meaning, and the information-structural properties of the construction. Analyses based on form focus on the flexibility of the linear ordering of the two terms of the construction, the surface distribution of the copular element, the restrictions imposed on the extraction of the two terms, the case and agreement properties of the construction, the omissibility of the copula or one of the two terms, and the connectivity effects exhibited by the construction.
Morphosyntactic variation in the domain of copular elements is an area of research with fruitful intersections between typological and generative approaches. A variety of criteria are presented in the literature to justify the postulation of multiple copulas or underlying representations for copular sentences. Another prolific body of research concerns the semantics of copular sentences. In the assessment of scholarship on copulas and copular sentences, the article critiques the 'multiple copulas' approach and examines ways in which the surface variety of copular sentence types can be accounted for in a 'single copula' analysis. The analysis of copular constructions continues to have far-reaching consequences in the context of linguistic theory construction, particularly the question of how a predicate combines with its subject in syntactic structure.
Displacement in Syntax
Klaus Abels
Displacement is a ubiquitous phenomenon in natural languages. Grammarians often speak of displacement in cases where the rules for the canonical word order of a language lead to the expectation of finding a word or phrase in a particular position in the sentence whereas it surfaces instead in a different position and the canonical position remains empty: 'Which book did you buy?' is an example of displacement because the noun phrase 'which book', which acts as the grammatical object in the question, does not occur in the canonical object position, which in English is after the verb. Instead, it surfaces at the beginning of the sentence and the object position remains empty. Displacement is often used as a diagnostic for constituent structure because it affects only (but not all) constituents. In the clear cases, displaced constituents show properties associated with two distinct linear and hierarchical positions. Typically, one of these two positions c-commands the other and the displaced element is pronounced in the c-commanding position. Displacement also shows strong interactions with the path between the empty canonical position and the position where the element is pronounced: one often encounters morphological changes along this path and evidence for structural placement of the displaced constituent, as well as constraints on displacement induced by the path.
The exact scope of displacement as an analytically unified phenomenon varies from theory to theory. If more then one type of syntactic displacement is recognized, the question of the interaction between movement types arises. Displacement phenomena are extensively studied by syntacticians. Their enduring interest derives from the fact that the complex interactions between displacement and other aspects of syntax offer a powerful probe into the inner workings and architecture of the human syntactic faculty.
Distributed Morphology
Jonathan David Bobaljik
Distributed Morphology (DM) is a framework in theoretical morphology, characterized by two core tenets: (i) that the internal hierarchical structure of words is, in the first instance, syntactic (complex words are derived syntactically), and (ii) that the syntax operates on abstract morphemes, defined in terms of morphosyntactic features, and that the spell-out (realization, exponence) of these abstract morphemes occurs after the syntax. Distributing the functions of the classical morpheme in this way allows for analysis of mismatches between the minimal units of grammatical combination and the minimal units of sound. Much work within the framework is nevertheless guided by seeking to understand restrictions on such mismatches, balancing the need for the detailed description of complex morphological data in individual languages against an attempt to explain broad patterns in terms of restrictions imposed by grammatical principles.
Incorporation and Pseudo-Incorporation in Syntax
Diane Massam
Noun incorporation (NI) is a grammatical construction where a nominal, usually bearing the semantic role of an object, has been incorporated into a verb to form a complex verb or predicate. Traditionally, incorporation was considered to be a word formation process, similar to compounding or cliticization. The fact that a syntactic entity (object) was entering into the lexical process of word formation was theoretically problematic, leading to many debates about the true nature of NI as a lexical or syntactic process. The analytic complexity of NI is compounded by the clear connections between NI and other processes such as possessor raising, applicatives, and classification systems and by its relation with case, agreement, and transitivity. In some cases, it was noted that no morpho-phonological incorporation is discernable beyond perhaps adjacency and a reduced left periphery for the noun. Such cases were termed pseudo noun incorporation, as they exhibit many properties of NI, minus any actual morpho-phonological incorporation. On the semantic side, it was noted that NI often correlates with a particular interpretation in which the noun is less referential and the predicate is more general. This led semanticists to group together all phenomena with similar semantics, whether or not they involve morpho-phonological incorporation. The role of cases of morpho-phonological NI that do not exhibit this characteristic semantics, i.e., where the incorporated nominal can be referential and the action is not general, remains a matter of debate. The interplay of phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics that is found in NI, as well as its lexical overtones, has resulted in a wide range of analyses at all levels of the grammar. What all NI constructions share is that according to various diagnostics, a thematic element, usually correlating with an internal argument, functions to a lesser extent as an independent argument and instead acts as part of a predicate. In addition to cases of incorporation between verbs and internal arguments, there are also some cases of incorporation of subjects and adverbs, which remain less well understood.
Meanings of Constructions
Laura A. Michaelis
Meanings are assembled in various ways in a construction-based grammar, and this array can be represented as a continuum of idiomaticity, a gradient of lexical fixity. Constructional meanings are the meanings to be discovered at every point along the idiomaticity continuum. At the leftmost, or 'fixed,' extreme of this continuum are frozen idioms, like the salt of the earth and in the know. The set of frozen idioms includes those with idiosyncratic syntactic properties, like the fixed expression by and large (an exceptional pattern of coordination in which a preposition and adjective are conjoined). Other frozen idioms, like the unexceptionable modified noun red herring, feature syntax found elsewhere. At the rightmost, or 'open' end of this continuum are fully productive patterns, including the rule that licenses the string Kim blinked, known as the Subject-Predicate construction. Between these two poles are (a) lexically fixed idiomatic expressions, verb-headed and otherwise, with regular inflection, such as chew/chews/chewed the fat; (b) flexible expressions with invariant lexical fillers, including phrasal idioms like spill the beans and the Correlative Conditional, such as the more, the merrier; and (c) specialized syntactic patterns without lexical fillers, like the Conjunctive Conditional (e.g., One more remark like that and you're out of here). Construction Grammar represents this range of expressions in a uniform way: whether phrasal or lexical, all are modeled as feature structures that specify phonological and morphological structure, meaning, use conditions, and relevant syntactic information (including syntactic category and combinatoric potential).

Lets say the jailbreak comes out and apple releases a new iOS to combat the jailbreak. Then anyway one purchasing a device after the fact is sol. Most likely the device will come with the newly updated firmware. Anyway good work to the devs for working on it in the first place.
The article should have said "since iOS5" has it taken 3-4 months. For both iOS5 and iOS6 it took until 2nd week of February.. almost to the day.. And each of those two were the "new breed" of harder to crack iOS'.. In the early days it took a few days to a few weeks to jail break. Those days are forever gone.
Also in the last two JB - there was a moment where they had a real jailbreak long about Christmas-time but decided to hold it until after a major Apple release of a next 5.x/6.x update.
It'll be the same this time. But this will be a harder wait. iOS6 was a dud upgrade. I waited until 1 week before jailbreak to buy my iPh5 because I wanted my jailbreak more than iOS6. But iOS7 is a game changer. It's so impressive an upgrade its almost worth losing your jailbreak over. But if I get a 5S on day 1 - it'll be a very long wait to February.
We DEFINITELY won't get a JB before Feb this time either... and with P0sixninja doing all his public forum stuff - all that info Apple will find and patch before we ever get to use those exploits. I wish the devs would stay secret with their stuff.
Lastly, I sold my cracked 16GB iPad 2 for $190 which helped to pay for the iPad 4
If a lot of their vulnerabilities were closed with iOS 7, why don't they use one of the closed ones for an iOS 6.1.3/6.1.4 jailbreak? Since it won't work with the new OS anyways....not trying to sound rude, just curious what other factors are playing a role, or if any of the closed ones even work on iOS 6.1.3 or higher
Anyone feel me? I feel like the only solution is to become a dev myself, join that openjailbreak.org website, and figure out how to jailbreak on my own... If only I had the time and brains...
Its stupid the way Apple fight so hard against jailbreaking.
I think it would be smart to let it happen then they would have more users instead people go to Android for the ease and openness of it.
If Jailbreaking was easy and made straight after a new IOS launch then I might've stayed with iPhone.
If anything happens to my iPad then there is no way I'm getting another one as Android is just so much better for my needs. I like the openness and ability to access the whole phone unlike the locked down iPhone.
On the iPhone I want iFile and OpenSSH so its open and I can do things I want to it. On Android it comes with an explorer stock and SSH, there are many apps for SSH so just choose which looks the best for you.
When the jailbreak for IOS7 gets released is when I update my iPad to IOS7, till then I'm happy with IOS6.1.2 and iFile/OpenSSH
do you guys think that apple has had more success over jailbreaking since (I think it was) GeoHot went and worked for apple for a while? also didn't another well known hacker work for apple as well?
The other problem - is that even when we get the jailbreak for iOS7 - SOOO many more of our favorites tweaks will take a LOT of time to update - since iOS7 is almost a complete rewrite of iOS... uggh... So frustrating..
