Apple Confirms Email to Mac Pro User About Something Really Great in 2013by Anand Lal Shimpi on 6/12/2012 5:17 PM EST
19 Comments
Back to Article
AmdInside - Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - linkApple did not want to waste resources on redesigning the Mac Pro if the end of the world was going to occur in 2012. I still long for a Mac Mini like system with room for two 3.5" hard drives. Reply
name99 - Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - link"Note that there haven't been any announcements made regarding the next iMac."
Maybe no-one cares, but the Ivy Bridge mac mini also hasn't been announced.
Personally I think there's no great mystery here. Apple (unlike some other tech companies) is well aware of the value of releasing new info in small doses. Announce new MacBooks AND new iMacs AND new iPhones on one day, and you get one day of publicity.
Announce the iMacs separately (with the mac mini as a minor side issue, same as the Mac Pro boost yesterday); then the iPhone on yet another day, and you get three days of publicity.
The relevance to the previous comment is that a mac mini with USB3 would basically give you want you want, in that there would be much less speed penalty for just using an external USB3 drive.
Yes, it's not ideal. Unless the geniuses controlling USB3 have made a change I'm unaware of, USB3 just like USB2, does not transfer fancy commands like SMART or TRIM (or even NCQ?) over USB, so it's not ideal. But it's better than nothing.
The other solution, of course, would be a TB drive which, in theory, SHOULD be just like an internal drive. Of course you will pay for that privilege...
Point is --- Apple designs something that works well for most people, and can be made to work adequately for almost anyone. They are NOT going to design something that is optimized for a minuscule segment of the population, like two internal drives. Reply
Exodite - Wednesday, June 13, 2012 - linkGoogle UAS/UASP.
Regardless, USB 3 is perfectly fine for a couple of external 3.5" drives. Aside from price it also has the advantage of being compatible with non-Mac computers. Reply
ddarko - Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - link
I'll refrain from speculating about why Apple is waiting until next year for something really great. I do hope it has to do with Haswell though.
At least for the Mac Pro, maybe the delay is because Apple is engineering a solution to pairing Thunderbolt with add-on graphics card that doesn't involve clunky pass through cable like this Asus motherboard that Anandtech previewed:
As Arstechnica noted in its article about the Mac Pro update before WWDC, Thunderbolt has to also carry the video signal:
The complicating issue is that Thunderbolt not only carries high-speed PCIe data, but must also carry DisplayPort video as well. On all other Macs, GPUs—whether integrated or discrete—are fixed. This makes it easy to pipe the DisplayPort output to the Thunderbolt port, which serves as both a high-speed interconnect as well as the connection for an external monitor. The Mac Pro, on the other hand, has removable PCIe-based graphics cards. How will Apple get the output of these cards into the Thunderbolt controller?
The most likely solution is a Mini DisplayPort passthrough cable. ASUS is using an external DisplayPort cable to add Thunderbolt to its latest motherboard designs, but that seems decidedly "un-Apple-like." There may be a more elegant solution in the works, such as directing the card's output over the PCIe bus directly to the Thunderbolt controller, but according to our sources, no current graphics cards work that way. Given that reality, we think Apple will use an internal cable combined with GPUs featuring an internal mini-DP connector.
Ars labeled is an un-Apple-like solution but thought Apple was willing to make the trade to get new Mac Pros with Thunderbolt out the door. I think Apple wasn't willing to make the tradeoff and is waiting for a better solution. Reply

The benefit being what? I cant imagine anything like this being useful outside of niches. Reply
ddarko - Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - linkThe benefit is that it isn't ugly. I think that's enough for Apple.
I would clarify that Arstechnica speculated about an internal pass through cable, not an external solution like the one Asus is offering. But even an internal one would mess up the clean lines of the Mac Pro internals. Reply
StevoLincolnite - Wednesday, June 13, 2012 - linkI would think the last machine that would need thunderport was the Mac Pro, it's a fairly largish ugly case, so you should be able to upgrade it all easily anyway. (Video cards, drives etc'.) Reply
retrospooty - Wednesday, June 13, 2012 - linkI dont mean the benefit of using a passthrough cable vs. not, I mean what is the benefit of using thunderbolt display vs. already existing display standards that already dont need a passthrough cable. Why would Apple go through the trouble to design that in, what is the market?
Not trolling here, its a genuine question. Reply
Wicked1 - Wednesday, June 13, 2012 - linkOMG!
Only a Mac fanatic would worry abut the "Clean lines of the Mac Pro internals" over the utility of the system. (I have a Mac Pro - early 2009).
So tell me, is your Mac Pro sitting up on your desk with the side panel removed so everyone can see how "Clean" the internals are????
Too bizarre for words. Reply
ddarko - Wednesday, June 13, 2012 - linkIt's Apple who cares about the internal cleanliness of the Mac Pro - I think they even talk about it on the Mac Pro product page. The entire point of my point was to say why Apple, not me, might have delayed refreshing the Mac Pro. Apple cares about aesthetics.
And I'm baffled why you think a concern about the internals of a case is limited to Apple. Man high end PC boutiques make a point of advertising how clean their wiring inside the case is. It's also a concern for many DIY builders. And FYI, I don't know a Mac - my PC siting on the floor is a Lian Li case with parts put together myself. Perhaps you might learn to stop making assumptions and post something useful next time. Reply
slashbinslashbash - Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - linkIsn't the "must" part of "must also carry DisplayPort video" a little overstated? You can have an active Thunderbolt cable that isn't carrying video data.
The usage scenarios for Mac Pros are different vs. laptops. A Mac Pro is a big machine that sits in one place. An external monitor is a requirement, not an option. Consolidating the cables might be nice from an aesthetic point of view, but it's not an imperative like with laptops (especially MBA/Ultrabooks). Apple just needs to add Thunderbolt to the Mac Pro motherboards for stuff like external HDD's and whatever other Thunderbolt peripherals come out. Connecting to a monitor can be handled through the GPU like usual, whether by Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI, or VGA. But in general, Thunderbolt is less useful for the desktop than for the laptop -- there is no need for external GPUs, etc. when you've already got a few PCIe slots available internally. Reply
martinw - Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - linkIt's unlikely to be Haswell. The dual socket Xeon parts typically come out a year after the initial parts are lauched. Haswell is early next year, so the Xeon Haswells will likely be early 2014. Reply
ddarko - Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - linkHaswell is unlikely for the Mac Pro but may be appropriate for the iMac. It still seems odd to think Apple would skip Ivy Bridge for the iMac while waiting for Haswell. Apple did take five months after Intel launched Sandy Bridge to move the iMac line to it so there is precedent for Apple taking its time - it's still within that five month window since Ivy Bridge launched in April. Apple also refreshed its iMac right before the holiday season back in October 2009 so perhaps it'll combine both the 5-month wait and a late year holiday launch and introducing Ivy Bridge iMacs in October 2012.
And in fact, Macrumors is now reporting that Apple PR has clarified that reports that it said both the Mac Pro and iMac would likely be refreshed in 2013 only applied to the Mac Pro and not the iMac. So I think we can expect Ivy Bridge iMacs in autumn 2012.

name99 - Tuesday, June 12, 2012 - linkWell duh. Only an idiot would think there won't be an Ivy Bridge iMac, and soon. Reply
ddarko - Wednesday, June 13, 2012 - linkIt wasn't so obvious because the initial reporting by NYT's David Pogue and Forbes said they were told by an Apple executive and Apple PR, respectively, that both the Mac Pro and iMac would be updated in 2013. That caused some confusion and consternation which has since been clarified. Reply
JMS3072 - Wednesday, June 13, 2012 - linkI honestly don't see the point of Ivy Bridge for the iMac- they all have dedicated graphics anyway, and graphics performance is the only real advantage that Ivy has over Sandy for the desktop set. We'll see a refresh, but it'll be on AMD/NVidia's schedule- not Intel's. Reply
retrospooty - Wednesday, June 13, 2012 - link" honestly don't see the point of Ivy Bridge for the iMac- they all have dedicated graphics anyway, and graphics performance is the only real advantage that Ivy has over Sandy for the desktop set"
It's inevitable anyhow. Once production is fully ramped up the chips are cheaper for Intel to make, so that is primarily what will be available.
For the OEM's like Apple...Although only slightly faster and slightly better with power, its 100% pin compatible, so no redesign is needed. Just pop in the new CPU and you have a new SKU. Better to have it than to not have it since its a no-brainer to implement ,a bit faster and a bit more efficient... There is no downside. Reply

Welcome to Packs of the Dragon!
Long ago, in a far away place where humans didn't exist, there lived six packs. The packs thrived until one horrible winter when it almost starved the packs. A dragon saw this and felt pity for them. He flew down on mighty wings and called forth the leaders of each pack. The dragon saw their personalitys and chose which element he should give them. He gave the six alphas an element to help lead their pack. Fire, to the bold and ferocious red wolf. Water, to the agile and graceful she-wolf. Earth, to the strong and sturdy brown wolf. Wind, to the wiry pale wolf. Darkness, to a sneaky black wolf. Finally, Light, to the wise light grey she-wolf. The wolves shimmered with their new found power.
The wolves thanked the dragon and ran back to their packs. Together the leaders drove away the winter and kept peace between the packs. Eventually, the powers of the leaders spread into their packs. Soon, all of the wolves had their own unique element, due to their leader's element.
Come forth, young wolf, and find your own place in the,
Packs of the Dragons!

Gingrich ignores Obama's "a Muslim" comment
(CBS News) LAKE CHARLES, La. - After a Louisiana voter today called President Obama a Muslim during a question-and-answer session at a campaign stop, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich chose to ignore the comment rather than correct the misstatement.
After speaking to an overflow crowd of over 200 people at the Harlequin Steaks and Seafood Restaurant, Gingrich opened the event to questions. A local man, Bob Nolan, of Lake Charles, began by making a comment about the president.
"I believe that Obama is not stupid," Nolan said to Gingrich. "I believe he knows exactly how the economy works, but I also believe that number one, he's a Muslim. Number two, he's a student of Saul Alinsky ... and I believe that it's his policy to bring this country to its knees and ruin the United States of America." Another man chimed in, "I believe that, too."
Gingrich paused for a brief moment before he answered, "I believe this is a president who prefers power to prosperity and who follows policies that centralize power in the government. And if the price of that is that we're poorer and we have fewer jobs and that we have less energy, that's fine with him. It's a price he'll pay. "

The aim of this project is to investigate enabling two-way linkage between research papers and research data. It builds upon development work for Edinburgh DataShare, a data repository service provided by the EDINA and Data Library division of IS, in partnership with the Library and Collections division, responsible for the Research Publications Service, the institutional (publications) repository. Both use DSpace as software platform.
Outcomes include technical enhancements to each repository, consideration of metadata and permanent identifier linkages, data citation issues, broker solutions, Linked Data ontologies, and linkage to other sites and document types. Further work may include implementation of some of the above, and potential scoping of a University data asset registry.
Broader consultation with the community on these issues was sought including the University's Research Data Management group (initiated by Vice Principal Haywood in 2010), publishers such as BioMed Central, and repository managers and developers. The latter included facilitation of a LAIRD roundtable at the Repository Fringe event in September.

One more report says that Windows Phone has risen to its largets worldwide market share, but with a caveat: The analyst says rough times are ahead for the platform if it doesn't cut licensing fees as a way to lower the price of the devices.
Strategy Analytics says that Windows Phone has a 3.9% worldwide market share, up from 3.6% a year ago. The firm isn't the only one finding the platform making steady headway. Kantar Worldpanel ComTech's most recent survey found that in the three months to June 2013, Windows Phone had an 8.6% market share in the U.K., a 9% market share in France, and a 4% market share in the U.S.
Strategy Analytics says of Windows Phone's growth, "Microsoft is making steady progress in the smartphone market due to strong support from Nokia." However, the firm also warned that the growth is in danger because of the high licensing fees Microsoft charges for the platform. Strategy Analytics' analys Linda Sui says that the "license fee charged to smartphone makers for WP8 must be more competitive to compete with Android in lower price-bands."
That recommendation should not come as a surprise to Microsoft. Kantar Worldpanel ComTech has found that Windows Phone's growth, especially in the U.S., is being driven by the budget-conscious who are buying smartphones for the first time. So shaving dollars off a phone's price tag will help gain new buyers.
However, Strategy Analytics also says that Microsoft needs to focus on the high end as well. Sui says:
"Microsoft must dramatically accelerate its support for advanced technologies, such as octo-core chipsets, because WP8 continues to lag behind Android in the premium smartphone category."
I'm not sure that Sui is on target there. Window Phone's steady growth has come not via so-called top-of-the-line "hero" phones with the highest-resolution cameras, most powerful processors, and largest screens, but instead with more affordable devices. The best example of that is Nokia's lagging sales in the U.S. in the past quarter, even though Nokia has been pushing the high end of its Lumia line.
In addition, people in emerging markets are looking for budget phones, not expensive, high-end ones. And emerging markets is where the growth is.
Cutting licensing fees for Windows Phone would likely get more market share than focusing on high-end phones. Will Microsoft go ahead and do it? My guess is not, because Microsoft traditionally doesn't like to go that route. As a way to gain market share, though, it would be worth a shot.

Mandelson was in the US this week to press claims brought against the White House following withdrawing from its World Trade Organisation (WTO) obligations.
Back in Brussels, Mandelson reported to the European Parliament that the United States should let foreign companies into its multibillion-dollar online gaming market instead of trying to compensate European firms for shutting them out.
'The US has so far opted for compensation to make right what is wrong," said Mandelson. "I don't think compensation does that job."
Billions of dollars were wiped off the market value of European online gaming companies following the passage of the UIGEA that shut off the US market late last year.
'What we really need is for the legislation to be put right and for foreign operators to stop being excluded and discriminated against in the way the present US legislation does,' explained Mandelson.
While in the nation's capital, Mandelson met with US Representative Barney Frank and said he was hopeful that Frank's attempts to change the law through his proposed Internet Gambling Regulation And Enforcement Act (IGREA) would be successful.
'I will continue to make these arguments on behalf of the European industry,' said Mandelson.

Educators' and supervisors' contacts with students are an important component in the latter's academic as well as personal success. When students come to campus they are leaving many of their support systems behind. Previous advisors and mentors such as parents, friends, pastors, and teachers are not as available or as knowledgeable about the college environment.
Although many students quickly establish new and equally effective support systems, a number of students may not know where to turn for help and information and may look to you for answers. You are also in a position to observe the indicators that a student is not doing well.
Many considerations need to be factored into your response to a student, including your beliefs about the appropriate role of a faculty or staff member in helping students, your personal style, the quality and nature of your relationship with the student, and your own background and knowledge base. Other factors such as situational factors (class size, format), the student's openness to assistance, and a student's comfort in seeking out contact, may have a substantial effect on the type of interactions you can have with a student.
The likelihood is, however, that at some point, you will come into contact with a student in distress and in need of psychological assistance. We are confident that faculty and staff can identify these students and offer valuable assistance. This resource can assist you in identifying struggling students and appropriately guiding them to those best able to help.

The turmoil affecting Western Australia's Oakajee port and rail development has had a silver lining: the state's electricity planners have been able to strip a medium-sized power station from their long-range needs because of the delay in the port development and associated mines.
In an update to potential investors in WA's electricity sector, the state's Independent Market Operator (IMO) has released its annual "statement of opportunities".
It shows WA's mid-west region will need 200 megawatts less power by 2013-14 than forecast last year.
IMO chief executive Allan Dawson said the scaling back in the energy forecast was the result of continuing delays in mining projects in the mid-west, which could be further delayed by recent troubles at the Oakajee port and rail project. "The new block loads associated with the mid-west – approximately 200 MW – which we had assumed would be needed in 2013-14 – we have pushed out to 2014-15," he said. "This is based on the fact that the miners keep telling us [about delays]. We could easily face a similar situation next year as we now have Oakajee port being delayed and Western Power haven't got approval for an extension of the grid to that area."
The Oakajee project was thrown into disarray last month following a decision by one of the miners lined up as a foundation customer to suspend its flagship project.
Sinosteel Midwest, a subsidiary of giant Chinese iron ore trader Sino-steel, announced it would "park" its $2 billion Weld Range iron ore project in the region until the uncertainty surrounding the cost and timing of Oakajee was resolved.
Oakajee, which is being developed by
Murchison launched a management shake-up and review of its operations earlier this month amid a blow-out in the cost of the Oakajee project to $5.94 billion from original estimates of about $4.3 billion.
Sinosteel and the other company lined up as a foundation Oakajee customer,
In its latest statement of opportunities, the IMO also warns that global economic shudders could hit commodity prices and lead to mining projects being scrapped.
"The IMO notes that this is the second consecutive year in which it has delayed the introduction of these major mid-west loads in its forecasts," the document says. "Further, the IMO notes that declining economic conditions or commodity prices could cause the relevant projects to be further delayed or cancelled."
The IMO statement forms the basis of attempts to help smooth the investment in new power stations in WA.
Unlike the rest of the country, investors in Western Australia's electricity sector are paid "capacity payments" as an incentive to build new plants.
The payments are calculated and managed by the IMO on the basis of its annual projection of the power needs of the state, concentrating on three years out, but stretching as far as a decade into the future.

An interracial poster distributed on college campuses by the student wing of South Africa's Democratic Alliance has (intentionally) caused an uproar by raising sensitive issues of politics, race and sex in the country's post-apartheid society, The Globe and Mail reports.
The newspaper says the South African media was dominated by heated debate among politicians and commentators within days of the poster's appearance.
Some comments were prudish, others were racist, but many were supportive, the newspaper says.
"We will continue to challenge the status quo and people's mindsets until we all enjoy the truly integrated, rainbow South Africa Mandela dreamed about," the Democratic Alliance Youth says on it Facebook page.
The ruling party, the African National Congress, said the poster was created by a white-dominated party that followed the "Irish coffee" principle of "sprinkling darkies on white foam, The Globe and Mail reports.
"The Christian Democratic Party said the poster was "clearly promoting sexual immorality."
Zet Luzipo, a provincial secretary of the Congress of South African Traade Unions, which is closely aligned with the government, had this reaction: "The poster says, 'Join the DA to have an affair with a white person.'"
He told a South African news service that the poster entrenches a "white supremacy" that ANC sympathizers had fought against for decades. "We will not be excited with having an affair with a white person; we will not be enticed by that," he says.
In the end, Mbali Ntuli, the federal chairperson of the DA youth wing, said the group had achieved its goal "of engaging South Africans in a frank debate about one of the most defining issues in our country today – tolerance."

The Bachelor: On the Wings of Love
'The Bachelor' star Jake Pavelka cuts bachelorette Corrie Adamson
By Reality TV World staff, 02/02/2010
In the end,
Corrie Adamson
was just moving too slow for
The Bachelor
Jake Pavelka
's comfort.
Frustrated by a belief that she was taking too long to open up, Jake decided not to give to a rose to Corrie, a 23-year-old wardrobe consultant from Kissimmee, FL, during Monday night's
The Bachelor
: On the Wings of Love
broadcast in which he narrowed his group of bachelorette suitors to four women.
"I don't get it. Clearly I'm not the girl for him because I'm in this limo right now," Corrie said after her ouster. "Sometimes two people can be a good match and be attracted to each other but just not be there and I feel that was the case from Jake. I mean, or I just put a wall up."
"You know, I don't do good dating a guy who is dating other girls at the same time. I think that if me and Jake had been dating just each other and he hadn't of been dating four other women that things would have definitely been different," she added as she began to cry.
"I came here to get to know Jake and to see if he could be the person that I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with and he wasn't. I was really sad."
While he had been physically attracted to Corrie, their budding relationship had been missing something, according to Jake.
"It was really sad seeing Corrie go tonight because I'm so attracted to her but I can't really ignore the fact that there was just something missing. It just didn't feel right," Jake said about Corrie, who had told
The Bachelor
star that she is a virgin who is saving herself for marriage.
"It's disappointing that she was taking so long to open up and I really, really worried that Corrie would never open up fully."
The Bachelor
: On the Wings of Love's
fifth episode began with Jake and the bachelorettes arriving in San Francisco and ending their California coastal road trip they had began in Los Angeles during last week's episode.
Once there, Jake met with the five women and explained there would be three one-on-one dates and one two-on-one date over the course of the next week, however none of the dates would be rose dates in which a bachelorette could be eliminated.
"You don't have to worry about a rose on a date anymore," Jake told the women.
After Jake left, the women opened a note which revealed that week's first date would be a one-on-one date with
Tenley Molzahn
, a 25-year-old college admissions representative from Newberg, OR.
"I'm so excited because I'm finally getting a one-on-one date with Jake," Tenley gushed. "[But] I'm a little nervous because it's finally here and there's been so much anticipation for this date. I feel really behind the other girls."
After leaving the San Francisco hotel that served as
The Bachelor
base of operations for the week, Jake and Tenley took a trolley car to Chinatown, where they explored the shops and made fortune cookies.
Meanwhile, back at the hotel the other bachelorettes received a note that revealed the next date would be a two-on-one date featuring
Vienna Girardi
, a 23-year-old marketing representative from Sanford, FL, and
Gia Allemand
, a 26-year-old swimsuit model from New York, NY.
But knowing how much they disliked each other, Corrie -- the bachelorette who had retrieved the note -- decided to have some fun and initially claim that the date would involve Vienna and
Ali Fedotowsky
, a 25-year-old advertising account manager from Williamstown, MA.
"Just kidding!" Corrie shouted afterwards.
However although it was brief, Corrie's joke managed to revive the tension between Vienna and Ali, which had taken a turn for the worse when Vienna had overheard Ali whispering her frustration about Jake's decision to give Vienna a rose at the fourth episode's Rose Ceremony.
"You know what you did, you flipped out last night at the Rose Ceremony and were crying because I was [still] there," Vienna told Ali when she asked Vienna why she didn't want to discuss the two-on-one date with Ali in the room.
"How do you know that was because of you?" Ali asked.
"I was sitting right there when you were talking about it in front of everybody, I heard you. Like they [Corrie and Gia] were saying 'I can't believe she's doing this," Vienna replied.
"It had nothing to do with you," Ali told Vienna. "If you're right for Jake that is great.... I really feel like if Jake's attracted to who you are and your personality, it's so much different than mine [so] it just makes me question if I'm right for him. This isn't about who is a better person."
"Ali just pisses me off," Vienna told the cameras afterwards. "Honestly I don't know what Ali's thinking or why she's doing what she's doing but it's not going to break up Jake and I. Ali and I haven't gotten along since the beginning. I feel right now I want to go say something to Jake, I really do, because I can't handle this anymore."
Meanwhile, back on their date, Jake and Tenley enjoyed a romantic private date at the top of Pioneer Park's Coit Tower. In addition to discussing the reasons behind the failure of Tenley's first marriage -- which ended after her husband cheated on her -- the couple also talked about Jake's expectations of his future wife.
"I expect my wife to always, no matter what, have my back. No matter what," Jake told Tenley. "Respect for my wife is one of the most important things for me and to trust that I will love, honor and respect no matter. Even when I do something stupid and hurt her feelings."
"Cheating is a choice, you have to consciously make a choice. And the woman I marry will be the last woman I look at," he added.
Jake and Tenley both came away impressed from the date.
"My expectations were completely exceeded. We had such great conversation, it just naturally flowed, and the kisses were magical. It was terrific," Jake said. "We line up on so many things.
"Jake's such a beautiful man from the inside out," Tenley said. "[I was] standing at the top of Coit Tower kissing this beautiful man that has this amazing heart."
The next day, Vienna and Gia met Jake at Castello di Amorosa, a Napa Valley winery that features a replica medieval castle on the vineyard grounds.
After spending the afternoon enjoying a glass of wine and taking a tour of the castle, Jake and the women spent the evening lounging by one of its fireplaces and alternating one-on-one time with Vienna and Gia -- resulting in Vienna getting lost when she attempted to explore the castle's catacombs during Jake's time with Gia.
"It's not even funny, I'm freaking out right now," Vienna snapped after Jake and Gia tracked her down and surprised her. "It was dark and I was in the dungeon!"
Jake then escorted the women to their rooms for the overnight date and said goodnight before retiring to his own room. However Vienna had other ideas and decided to go visit Jake in his bedroom.
"I think she's making a big mistake. I mean everyone appreciates someone who is forward and just gets to the point, but for me, if I was Jake, that would be too much," Gia said. "Vienna just doesn't think what's right and wrong, she just does things without thinking."
"To new beginnings, and finding love... and not having to go back to my bed tonight," Vienna told Jake as she surprised him in bed with a couple of glasses of wine.
"I assure you, I had dirty thoughts, but I was really worried that Gia was thinking something was going on. Nothing was going to happen, it was 'Rated G' all the way," Jake explained afterwards. "It was really, really awkward. She could tell that I was uncomfortable. I [thought] Vienna needed to go back upstairs."
Afterward, Vienna wasn't sure how to interrupt Jake's rebuff.
"It's making me feel very unsure, I almost feel like I may have been hurting my chances by being down there. I don't know if he was happy I walked down there and saw him."
Meanwhile, back at the hotel, the remaining women learned that Jake's next one-on-one date would be with Corrie.
"I've been waiting a long time for this. I really just want to let Jake see my fun side. And I want to get to know him on a deeper level," Corrie said about her first one-on-one date with
The Bachelor
"We're definitely behind in the progression of our relationship. Out of all the girls that are left I'm the only one who hasn't kissed Jake. You know I take things slow and I want a guy who is going to pursue me and come after me."
The next day, Corrie met Jake at a local park, where they spent the afternoon enjoying some private time in a rowboat but failed -- much to their common frustration -- to finally kiss.
"There was definitely a moment where we were close and I was thought 'Oh god, he might kiss me' but I wasn't sure whether I was ready and I am definitely not the kind of girl who goes in for the kiss," Corrie said afterwards. "I let him go 90% [and] I go 10%."
"I think a man should be the one to lean in and kiss a girl. I'll go 80%, you go 20%," Jake said. "I feel really good when I'm with Corrie but I just can't figure her out. The relationship is moving along really slow and that's okay but I need to figure out exactly why it's going so slow."
"When it came down to it, we didn't kiss and I think there is this cloud over us," Corrie said. "I have to be totally honest with Jake."
During their subsequent dinner at the California Academy of Sciences natural history museum, Corrie told Jake she was a virgin.
"I'm concerned, because our relationship has just moved really, really slow. I really like you and I was starting to get really, really worried that you just weren't going to open up and we were moving so slow," Jake told Corrie. "I find like today was kind of the do-or-die because you and I were really behind."
"I know I move slower than the other girls, but... I'll tell you anything you want to know," Corrie replied.
"If we're engaged, where would you want to live?" Jake asked.
"I would want to be in Dallas or where ever you were but I would have my own apartment and I would live there," Corrie answered.
"So how are you living with somebody before marriage?" asked Jake.
"[I wouldn't do it], because I just think that's part of marriage. I think that's part of the gift of marriage," Corrie said.
"Are you saving yourself for marriage?" Jake asked.
"I am," Corrie replied.
"I completely respect where you're coming from and that's not an issue for me," Jake said, after which the couple enjoyed their first kiss.
"Do you know how long I've been dying to do that?" he told Corrie afterwards.
"I feel really good right now," a relieved Corrie said after the date. "You know there's not a lot of guys out there that are as sensitive or understanding. Even though it was a really intense conversation I feel like we got over that now. I can definitely see myself being engaged to Jake at the end of this."
"I think the fact that Corrie is a virgin says a lot about her," Jake said. "I felt like that cleared the air a little bit. I can't tell you how much I respect the fact that she just opened up and told me. Tonight with Corrie was do-or-die and she opened up."
The next day, Jake met Ali for their one-on-one date -- however given she now lives in San Francisco, Jake allowed Ali to largely plan the afternoon.
"I'm really excited. I have a really opportunity to see if he fits into my world today," Ali said. "He's going to see my little neighborhood and he's either going to love it or I'm not going to get a rose [tonight]. I'm the first girl that's having a date right before the Rose Ceremony."
"You took me on our [earlier] one-on-one and showed me your [aviation] home away from home," Ali told Jake. "And I feel this is my opportunity to show you my home away from home, which is my neighborhood."
However after taking Jake on a tour of her favorite streets and enjoying a meal at a local restaurant, Ali also made it clear that she would be willing to leave San Francisco to be with Jake.
"Do you think you'd like Texas?" Jake asked.
"I know I would, I love Texas," Ali replied.
Afterward, the couple took a stroll along the shoreline and enjoyed the sunset, where Jake asked Ali about the comments she had made about Vienna at the prior Rose Ceremony.
"I just want you to be happy. I understand that you can love someone no matter what other people think and sometimes other people see things that you may not see. So sometimes I don't understand the decisions that you make," Ali told Jake.
"Do you have any specific questions you would like answered? I'll answer them if you want me to," Jake said.
"I don't need you to really answer anything for me. If you pick me then like I'm yours... but if you don't that's okay too because you do everything you can for something and then you just kind of got to leave it up to what's meant to be and that's kind of the place I'm at right now," Ali said. "I don't have questions about why certain people are here anymore."
"Are you sure?" Jake pushed.
"I want you to make the decisions that are right for you, and after this point maybe I would want to have a chat, I don't know," Ali replied.
"About Vienna?" Jake asked.
"Yeah," Ali said.
"You know, I hear what everyone is saying but I don't see that. When I'm with her she's so incredibly honest and she goes out of her way to let me know that she's here for me," Jake replied.
"I want you to do what you feel 100% and I've come to a point where I need to let go of it. I'm ready to let go of it," Ali told Jake.
"I definitely don't know why Jake has kept Vienna around," she explained after the date ended. "I don't understand it but it's not my business to understand it really. Because I'm really falling for him and that means I need to trust him through and through no matter what. I just think we have something so great.... I am so smitten with that boy."
That night, Corrie used the Rose Ceremony's cocktail party to attempt to doublecheck whether Jake was really comfortable with her virginity.
"Last night, I got just shaken up because I wasn't expecting to have that conversation there and then," she told him.
"It's just that's not something that defines me and I feel like when people -- like when you think of that you think of this -- you know you have this -- I don't know," she added as he struggled to explain herself.
"I'm glad that you told me," Jake interrupted. "You are not any different than how I hoped you'd be."
"Corrie doesn't want to be labeled or stereotyped but I wanted to let her know it's okay. You know, I'm not hanging onto that, it's not about sex appeal, this is about 'heart appeal,'" he explained afterwards.
However when it came time to give out his four roses, Jake apparently concluded that Corrie's "heart appeal" was lacking. After beginning the Rose Ceremony by giving roses to Tenley, Ali, and Gia, he revealed that Vienna would receive his final rose -- eliminating Corrie from the competition.
"You're amazing Corrie," Jake told her as she entered a waiting limousine.
"Good luck," she replied following a nervous laugh.
"I'm glad tonight is over. But I am definitely ready for [the] hometowns. I'm really excited to meet all of your families," Jake told the four remaining women after Corrie's departure. "I really am, I can't wait."

TEL AVIV (Dec. 2)
The first school of Tel Aviv University opened here today in temporary buildings provided by the city.
At this stage in its development the University will offer only a three-year course leading to a baccalaureate in science. The course of studies at the new university will be coordinated with those of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Eventually, Tel Aviv University will be housed in a group of buildings which will be erected on the north bank of the Yarkon River.
The ceremony formally opening the University was part of the city's celebration of Chanukah, Mayor A. Levanon lit the city's first Chanukah candle yesterday with a torch ignited at Modiin, seat of the beginning of the Macabbi revolt, and carried by relays of cross country runners through Rehovoth, in honor of the late President Weizmann, to Tel Aviv and then on to Petach Tikvah and Haifa.

Remembering Arthur
Arthur S. Ehrmann, 35, is a big, jolly assistant city attorney and the city's legislative counsel or lobbyist at Madison. He graduated from Marquette Law School in 1934, practiced in Milwaukee, was appointed to the city attorney's staff in 1941, enlisted in the Navy in 1942, took part in the invasions of Sicily and Normandy. He was president of the Eagles Club before entering service. At that time, he weighed 265 pounds, but the Navy reduced him to 240 in one month.
Exactly what my father's single month loss of 25 pounds in the U.S. Navy had to do with his campaign for Mayor of Milwaukee in 1948, I'm not sure. But I'll bet it was Dad who provided that information to the newspaper. It was the kind of offbeat, self-deprecating detail he got a kick out of disclosing about himself.
He was the funniest, smartest and best man I ever knew. His character and integrity were rare and stunning. He was a favorite to become mayor 64 years ago, but it didn't happen (he lost in the primary). Dad didn't talk about it much, but once when I asked why he never ran for public office again he said, "Because you can't be honest and win."
Before he died in 1975, he did say he regretted having never become a judge – but not because it was something he wanted for himself but rather because he thought his seven children would've been tickled to have a judge for a dad. It wouldn't have impressed us any more than we already were.
I was five or six when Dad bought my first baseball glove, and one for my brother, a year younger than me. He got them at the old Mid-City Sporting Goods on 27th and Wisconsin, a few blocks from where Dad worked at the old Eagles Club. Knowing how much we looked forward to those gloves, instead of making us wait 'til he got home from work with them that evening, he called a cab and had the driver deliver the gloves to us right away.
In a high school debate class my first project was to construct the affirmative side of the argument, "Common stocks make a good investment." As usual, I waited 'til the night before to worry about it, and was sitting at the kitchen table fumbling through the S volume of our Compton's Encyclopedia when Dad passed through on his way to the john. He asked what I was up to, and when I told him he stood there for 20 minutes and recited off the top of his head arguments, in perfect outline form, in favor of the proposition. He never personally invested a dollar in the stock market that I'm aware of. The next day when I read his outline verbatim in class, I not only won the debate but the veteran coach said it was the best argument in favor of common stocks he'd ever heard.
It wasn't common stock certificates but a few fake $50 bills Dad quietly dropped in the aisle at Holy Cross Church while returning from communion one Sunday. "Now we'll see who's concentrating on the Miracle of the Eucharist," he said. There were some spectacular pile-ups.
When I was 20 and spent a week in the hospital, on my second day there they delivered 15 letters addressed to me. All but one of them contained a blank sheet of paper. In the other one was a note from Dad explaining that he was mailing the rest to impress the hospital staff with what a big shot I was.
In addition to being a lawyer, Dad was a fabulous writer and the editor of an international fraternal magazine. In the early 1970s I had a succession of summer internships in Washington, D.C., working as a reporter. When I wrote a letter home one day full of scathing complaints about changes made in my copy, I did not get the sympathy I expected.
"...On the inviolability of written copy, you and I may differ somewhat," replied Dad in his return letter. "In my book the very nature of the operation gives the editor not only the right but the obligation to change copy into the form that strikes his fancy. That's what editors are for. In fact, it has always been my opinion that a publication should over the stretch express the personality and the prejudices and the policies of its editor. And it has also been my opinion that all submitted copy is subject to cutting, changing, being added to, all this at the whim of the editor.
"...I can remember when we got for our little old magazine a lot of articles by James T. Farrell, for more than 40 years the holder of some sort of literary reputation for his many novels. I thought his articles were awful and pretty thoroughly redid them. The intellectuals at the office said, 'You're not going to have the audacity to edit James T. Farrell!' And I said the hell I'm not; this is my magazine and in fact I'll rewrite him, and I did. And each time Jim Farrell would write me a note and say he liked the way the article was handled."
Politically, Dad was an Adlai Stevenson/Hubert Humphrey Democrat. But in 1972, when the donkey party veered far left under George McGovern, he held his nose and pulled the Republican lever. "In all the nonsense that is going on," he wrote to me, "unless a guy is to wind up on the side of the kooks, lefties and incompetent opportunists, he has to choose up sides somewhere. But wouldn't it be wonderful if somehow he didn't have to pick Nixon?"
After I got a journalism degree I scored a job interview with a newspaper in the South. The editor arranged for me to pick up my airplane ticket at Mitchell Field just before my flight. But I left my wallet at home that day and didn't make the flight because without identification they wouldn't give me the plane ticket. I steeled myself for a long lecture about personal responsibility when I got home, but Dad got the point across simply by addressing me for the next couple weeks as "Mr. X."
I prefer to think that Frank Zeidler, who won the 1948 mayor's race, served 12 years and today is regarded as one of Milwaukee's best mayors, wasn't just being kind when we met in 1973 and he said, "If I'd known then the kind of man your dad is, I would have withdrawn in his favor."
In German the name "Ehrmann" translates to "honorable man." Born 100 years ago today, Art Ehrmann was the epitome of that.

Wow! Great story! It's sad that it's near impossible to find a man with that kind of character today.

Thank you for your article. It's gratifying to read about the lasting effects that a parent, especially a dad, has. Recently I thought about my father and his life and his impact on me. While he was more reserved, his influence has always been greatly responsible for the way I am.

(Mar. 31, 2014) On January 17, 2014, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang signed State Council Order No. 646 promulgating the Implementing Regulations of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Guarding State Secrets. Effective on March 1, 2014, the Regulations repealed the former 1990 implementing measures for the Law. (Regulations [in Chinese] (Feb. 3, 2014), Central People's Government of the PRC website; English translation available through Westlaw China online subscription database.)
News reports promptly commented on a provision of the Regulations that instructs officials to stop invoking the "vague and arbitrary excuse of 'state secrets' to avoid disclosing information that ought to be public knowledge." (Richard Silk, China's Secret Anti-Secrecy Act, WALL STREET JOURNAL CHINA REAL TIME REPORT (Feb. 3, 2014, 9:36 pm).) The reports refer to article 5 of the Regulations, which provides: "[s]tate organs and entities shall not determine matters that should be disclosed in accordance with law as state secrets, and shall not make public information involving state secrets."
Background on State Secrecy and Publication of Government Information
Although the Regulations and the State Secrets Law do not specify which information ought to be made public, such provisions may be found in other laws and regulations. For example, the 2000 Law on Legislation requires all laws (made by the National People's Congress and its Standing Committee), administrative regulations (made by the State Council), administrative rules (made by central government departments), and local government regulations and rules to be published. That Law provides specific publication procedures for each type of document. (Law on Legislation [in Chinese], XINHUA.NET (Jan. 21, 2003).)
Furthermore, in 2007, then-Premier Wen Jiabao signed State Council Order No. 492 promulgating the Regulation on the Disclosure of Government Information (Government Information Regulation), which outlines the scope of government information that ought to be made public. (Government Information Regulation [in Chinese], Central People's Government website (Apr. 24, 2007).)
The Government Information Regulation generally requires the government to publish information involving:
- the immediate interests of citizens, legal persons, or other organizations;
- a situation that requires the awareness or participation of the public; or
- the organization, functions, procedures, and other matters concerning administrative offices. (Id. art. 9; English translation available through Westlaw China online subscription database.)
All governments at or above the county level must determine the specific content of the government information to be publicized, and, according to the Government Information Regulation, should emphasize the publication of:
- administrative regulations, rules and regulatory documents;
- national economic and social development plans, special planning, regional planning and the relevant policies;
