Apple expected to ship 5.5 million iPods this quarter
Piper Jaffray said today that it expects Apple to ship slightly more iPods in its fiscal third quarter than it did last quarter. The research firm said it believes Apple will have iPod unit shipments of 5.5 million for the June quarter, up from 5.3 million in its second quarter.
"The bottom line from our checks is that while we are not expecting significant upside to June [third] quarter numbers, Apple's business appears to be solid in what is typically a seasonally slower period," Piper Jaffray said. "We believe iPod sales are increasingly becoming less of a focus for Apple specialists, due to improved iPod supply and availability at mass retailers."

Over 25 years, Grand Performances has provided a musical memory box, with sounds from every cultural continent coursing over the California Plaza watercourt, around the skyscrapers, and through our hips and hearts. Some of the best grooves and most outrageously entertaining evenings have originated from artists who call L.A. home: mnemonic highlights include Ozomatli's notorious near-riot of joy, when hundreds of fans splashed and boogied in the perilously shallow pool that separates stage from crowd, as well as the triumphant Dakah Hip-Hop Orchestra throwing down its exponentially funky big band globo-jazz symphonies on multiple occasions. GP kicks off its silver anniversary summer with the aptly named "One Night, One World, One Stage" fundraiser and concert, offering a sixer of local talent, some of which have been performing as part of the outdoor program from the git-go. The Nicholson Pipe and Drum Corps' brawny Scottish bellow and the thunderous thump of the Kinnara Taiko drummers get things going, followed by MC Rai's North African sonic bazaar, Ciro Hurtado's Peruvian-infused classical guitar, and the late great Francisco Aquabella's Latin Jazz Ensemble channeling the spirit of the master conguero. Capping the evening off, after the picnic dinners and fruit of the vine have been consumed, Ricardo Lemvo and Makina Loca will impart their requisite Afro-Latin clave-infused dance-craziness. With public arts programming on ever-shakier financial ground, GP's quarter-century of quality is certainly worth celebrating. Grand Performances, California Plaza,300-350 S.

Just before Christmas, Rebecca Sypin and Jane Bingham
decided there should, and they started a Facebook page and petition to try to
get Mattel to introduce a "Beautiful and Bald Barbie." Rebecca's 12-year-old
daughter and Jane herself have struggled through cancer treatments, losing
their hair—but not their hope—in the process.
When they submitted their idea to the toy company, however,
they received a form message in response: "Mattel doesn't accept ideas from
outside sources." Hmm…
This month, the mission has gone viral. To date, 133, 199
people have liked the Facebook page and
over 9,700 have signed the petition,
which formally asks Mattel to create the doll and donate part of the profits.
While the petition itself doesn't ask the company to donate proceeds to
childhood cancer research groups, the thousands of comments it has garnered
show overwhelming support for such a move.

Maybe so, maybe not. I guess once you're over 80 life may seem a little less precious. I'm almost 60 and it hurts every day to get out of bed. I don't know if I want to live to be that old. The real benefit from safety belts is at slower speeds though. Why get concussions and broken bones from 30MPH fender benders? Wear a seat belt and maybe your shoulder is a little sore from where the harness caught it.

Absolutely marvellous! Excellent long-lasting moisturizing power! Great ingredient list. I did get a bit of a pink tint on my lips (but that works underneath my Prestige lipstick in 'brown sugar' as it was a bit too grey). I also like the scent (I don't like menthol/mint scents).
Another fantastic product from Burt's Bees.. I now prefer this particular lipbalm to all others.. including all other Burt's Bees lipbalms.
Would repurchase indefinitely.

This is the second Burt's Bees product I haven't thrown in the trash can.
I really, really like this lip balm. It has a spicyness to it (that I've gotten used to). Not too waxy, it goes on nice and smooth. And it doesn't melt off my lips. I did a test to see what would happen if I didn't use it for a day. For the first time in seven years, my lips stay unchapped for 24 hours. I haven't noticed the red tint other reveiewers have written about. It's completely transparent as far as I'm concered. I think I'd like it much less if it tinted my lips as well.

I've heard about this product for several months now, and I've not been able to find it at any store. I was in Meijer's and was looking around in the makeup section, and discovered they've started carrying Burt's Bees products. I decided to see if they had the Replenishing Balm; sure enough they did!
I've heard people on Live Journal talk about how it was too sour for them. I don't get a bitterness at all. I'm a sucker for anything pomegranate, and I'm falling in love with this balm!
The tube is a pomegranate color and it does the least little bit of tint on the lips. And in my case, it actually lightened my lip coloring. I really smell the pomegranate oil, anise oil and clary sage oil. It's a slight fruity, but more herbal smelling balm. The balm itself glides on like butter and is silky smooth feeling on the lips. My lips have a sensation of really cool and refreshing.
This is a great balm for a cheap price, and I'd definitely buy this again.

There was no tester of this, and i hate that, because i have to be surprised, luckily for me, it was a pleasant surprise.
I was soo scared this was going to be one of those menthol, pepperminty, cinnamon'y, gross burning smelly ones. but it wasnt, it was just a nice slick fruity balm. Yay, finally i got lucky on a product i hadnt tested.

i bought this on impulse when i was at Walgreen's and i am sure glad i did. this is so much better then the beeswax version. this has more of a slick but not sticky texture and a nice taste and tint as well, the other has a weird grainy texture that is sticky and a strange waxy taste and no tint that i could distinguish. i like this much better then the other. way to go Burt.

I'm actually one of the weirdos that likes the honey version of BB balm.Honey is a wonderful humectant and although the balm is a bit gritty,it works well.I happened upon this and of course,had to try it.It works well for hydration purposes but I can see that repeated applications would be detrimental to my sensitive lips(I suspect the cinnamon oil as previous reviewers remarked.)On the upside, if you DON'T have sensitive skin,this is a good cheap lip plumper(like Lip Venom,which I think uses cinnamon oil to irritate and swell the tissues).I would repurchase if I don't get any blistering reactions(which is entirely possible...)

Great lip balm. I have pretty colored, hydrated lips as it is, so the "stain" doesn't do much for me and I don't need to worry about chapped lips. However, it smells and tastes AWESOME, glides on smooth, and leaves lips shimmery and healthy-looking (and at least doesn't cause dryness!) The original balm did nothing for me; I could take it or leave it. And the lip shimmers, with their intense colors, all looked awful on me (and I wasn't a fan of the strong peppermint smell either). This stuff is great, and practically all-natural. The only way I would be happier with it was if it looked glossier, but alas.
(Still, for moisturization, nothing beats a whisk of vaseline on the lips after washing at night!)
Edit: My lips have been drier recently for some reason... I think it's because I haven't been drinking as much water recently. Anyway, I take back what I said about its possible ineffectiveness... THIS WORKS, and gives lips a little pink too!

it out, its not worth buying to test it out

I love Burts Bees products mainly because they don't test on animals. When I bought this, my lips were cracked to the extreme! I used it for one night, and I love it. When you put it on, it gives your lips a dewy, rosy feel and look and I just love it!

Ooo, this is a nice lip balm. I've tried the peppermint one (not bad, a little too waxy) and the honey version (terrible, weird texture), and this one is the best by far. It has a pleasant fruity scent and leaves your lips *slightly* pink , which is very nice. I think that this one may also be more moisturizing than the original version. Here are the ingredients for those interested: sunflower seed oil, beeswax, cocounut oil, castor oil, lanolin, comfrey root, pomegranate oil, sweet almond oil, anise oil, cassia oil, cinnamon leaf oil, clary sage oil, mandarin oil, tocopherol acetate and tocopherol (vit.

(From 2003 Vintage) Tasting Notes :This property has made pleasant noises over recent years about getting serious about quality, and the 2003 is one of their better efforts. Dark ruby-colored, with notes of compost, earth, cherries, and black currants, this medium-bodied Pessac-Leognan possesses a pinched, short finish, but pure fruit, low acidity, and an up-front personality that will reward early consumption. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

Milan 2014: the Salone Internazionale del Mobile fair opens in Milan today, where Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec are showing a range of metal and carved wood chairs for Italian brand Mattiazzi.
Sculpted ash sections have been shaped using both hand carving and a numerically controlled milling machine.
The Bouroullec brothers combined these methods to create task seating that references ancient wood-carved furniture.
"Uncino is an almost primitive wooden chair collection," said the French design duo. "The chairs are composed by two or three pieces of numerically sculpted wood, which are held in place by simple metal rods."
Two variations of backrests – one squarish and one more rectangular – support the sitter. The chairs balance on spindly bent-steel rods, which also form the arms and hold up the wooden backrest.
Where they meet the wood, the rods are absorbed into gentle bumps in the surface. "The metal rods set the carved wooden pieces in an almost organic overlapping," the designers said.
Uncino collection includes natural wood or stained black finish options, and three and four-legged versions are available.
The chairs will be on show at the Mattiazzi stand at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile, Hall 20 Stand E25, in Milan until 13 April.
Photographs are by Gerhardt Kellermann.

The simple task of cracking an egg is a monumental achievement for Luke Hartrum.
"Of all my children if this happened to anyone else but Luke, I don't think they would have survived," mother of 5 Lori Hartrum said.
In June of 2007, while playing with his twin brother Logan, Luke was hit by a car along Northampton County's Weaversville Road. Doctors gave the then 6 year-old little chance to survive.
Luke did and as a 2009 therapy session we were at showed his spirit soared. In December of 2010 Luke showed us more signs of his improvement and inner strength.
Today there's this:
"Omelet," Luke said.
Luke can speak. His first words were I love you Mom.
I begged for years to have him speak and tell me what's on his mind, what's going on inside his brain. Now that he does, I have to say be quiet Luke. Right?" Lori said as she smiled a Luke.
Luke in many ways is a typical soon to be 13 year-old. This Carbon County kid loves the guitar and has won awards for Special Olympics and is an honor role student.
A few weeks ago Lori and Luke donated a special needs van. The very same van donated to them several years before.
"Knows he used to walk, knows he could ride a bike. He says he wishes he could do the same but accepts this is who he is right now," Lori said.
Now this boy who has already accomplished so much has another fight.
Luke has 64% scoliosis and needs invasive back surgery.
However Lori who has her own health issues says there's no doubt "Uncle Luke", he loves holding his newborn niece, will bounce back and not take this latest challenge lying down.
"He's inspiring me everyday to be strong, keep moving forward and never give up," she said.
Boy thrives after being seriously hurt by car
The simple task of cracking an egg is a monumental achievement for Luke Hartrum.

The Lakers have a potential $85 million luxury tax bill looming
Aug 14, 2012, 12:13 PM EDT
As it stands now (with the roster basically set), the Lakers will have a $99 million payroll — $17 million more than the second most expensive team in the NBA (Brooklyn at $82 million). The Lakers payroll the following season will be in that same ballpark.
I hear the questions from a lot of people outside Los Angeles — didn't we just have a lockout, didn't we just miss months of basketball to stop moves like this? We don't just want a few super teams!
(Actually, ratings say that you do. And NFL-style parity both is impossible in the NBA and probably wouldn't sell as well anyway, but that's another discussion for another day.)
The other owners did want to stop this kind of payroll/team building and during the lockout they agreed to stiffer taxes discourage teams from this kind of spending. But those penalties don't start to kick in until the 2013-14 season — that is when the Lakers will start to pay a stiff price for their payroll.
Cap guru and friend of the site Larry Coon explains it in an email to Henry Abbott at TrueHoop.
The Lakers will have a tax bill of around $30 million next July, and in retrospect, will view this season as their salad days — it's the last one where the tax rate is dollar-for-dollar. Starting in 2013-14 the new "incremental" tax takes over, where being $30 million above the tax line will mean paying a whopping $85 million tax bill.
And it gets worse. Starting in 2014-15 teams will pay an even higher rate for being repeat offenders — defined as paying tax in at least three of the four previous seasons. A team $30 million over the tax line will pay — brace yourself — an additional $115 million in luxury tax.
After adding up their payroll, luxury tax bill, and revenue sharing contribution (projected to be $49.4 million in 2013-14), even the Lakers have to stop to consider whether this simply can be written off as the cost of doing business — and that's the future if they're paying players with salaries like Bryant, Howard, Gasol and Nash.
By the 2014-15 season the Lakers will be able to control their payroll better because Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol and Steve Nash come off the books (we will assume Dwight Howard stays at a max deal). For example, Kobe could do what both Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett just did, taking below their market value (salaries below $10 million) to help out the team.
But the Lakers are all in for the next two seasons with the roster they have. And with luxury tax and revenue sharing in July 2014 they are going to be writing about a $130 million in checks to the league in addition to their $100 million payroll. They can do some things to lower costs (amnesty Metta World Peace, for one) but if they want to compete for a ring those will be small dents. The big-ticket items, topped by Kobe's $30 million salary, will remain.
Even with what Jack Nicholson pays for his seats and what Time Warner is paying to broadcast Lakers games on a new regional sports network, the Lakers will not be raking in large profits, if any. And remember, the Lakers are the Buss family business, they do not have billions coming in from other sources so that this is a toy. The Lakers need to be profitable.
But they have run the numbers and decided to chase the rings anyway. Which is what the other owners always feared.

Abu Ubeyde, code name of Ezzeddin al-Qassam Brigades' spokesperson, speaks to the media in Gaza City, Gaza on August 7, 2014. (ANADOLU/Onur Oban)
GAZA CITY, Palestine: The Saraya al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian faction Islamic Jihad, claimed responsibility for firing a barrage of three rockets at Israel Friday following the expiration of a three-day cease-fire.
In a statement, the brigades said its fighters fired three Grad rockets at the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon Friday.
The brigades went on to vow to continue firing rockets at Israeli cities unless Israel accepted Palestinian conditions for a cease-fire, including the lifting of a yearslong blockade on the Gaza Strip.
A three-day cease-fire between Palestinian factions and Israel ended at 8 a.m. Friday.
The cease-fire was brokered by Egypt following a month of Israeli strikes against the Gaza Strip that killed 1,886 Palestinians and wounded 9,800 others. The attacks have also turned thousands of Gaza's buildings into rubble.
Palestinian factions and Israel held indirect talks in Cairo to extend the cease-fire, but no agreement was reached as Palestinian factions linked the extension to Israel's approval of their conditions, including lifting a yearslong blockade on the Gaza Strip and the creation of a seaport.
The Gaza Strip, home to 1.8 million Palestinians, has been reeling under a crippling Israeli blockade since 2006.

Book Review: St. Francis of Assisi by G. K. Chesterton

Chesterton takes on a challenging task in writing a biography of Saint Francis of Assisi. Francis was beloved in his own life time, so even the earliest sources are bound to exaggerate (if not make up) stories. Or at least skeptics can assume so. And Francis's life was well over five hundred years ago leaving plenty of time for legends and misconceptions to grow. How can a modern, interested person get a true understanding of the man with so many obstacles in the way? Chesterton flies over such … [Read More...]

The Lord by Romano Guardini That Jesus' task "is consummated" must be true, because he says so (John 19:30). Yet what a spectacle of failure! His word rejected, his message misunderstood, his commands ignored. None the less, his appointed task is accomplished, through obedience to the death—that obedience whose purity counterbalances the sins of a world. That Jesus delivered his message is what counts—not the world's reaction; and once proclaimed, that message can never be silenced, but will kno … [Read More...]

"Indeed", he remarks, "the Comedy may be read as a great itinerary, or rather as a true pilgrimage, both personal and interior, and communal, ecclesial, social and historical.

The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel HawthorneThis was a great book.

Luckily, I've been reading so much Dickens lately that I was able to recognize when to abandon my usual "don't bore us, get to the chorus" reading style and sink into those layers. Hawthorne also does eccentric characters who you learn to love in a way that is Dickens-worthy … [Read More...]

KPI admits to faulty poll question
Last week we ran a story about a poll on school finance issues conducted by the conservative think tank Kansas Policy Institute, including reaction from education advocates who said the questions were loaded with false or misleading information that appeared aimed at eliciting a negative response.
At the time, KPI defended the wording of the question, as did the polling firm SurveyUSA. Since then, however, another education advocacy group, the Kansas Association of School Boards, has weighed in with more information, prompting KPI to concede that one question was misleading. In a phone call with the Journal-World Friday afternoon, KPI spokesman James Franko said the group would soon post a clarification on its own blog.
The text of the question read:
A state court has effectively ordered legislators to increase school funding by $443 million, which would also automatically increase local property taxes by another $154 million. Regardless of whether you believe schools are adequately funded, how would you respond to this statement: It is appropriate for the courts to have final say on decisions of how much taxpayer money is spent on education."
Many observers objected to the idea that local property tax increases would be "automatic." It was based on the assumption that if the courts order an increase in base state aid, all districts would continue levying the same percentage for their "local option budgets," or LOB's. Ten districts, including Lawrence, are allowed to levy up to 31 percent of their base state aid; the others are capped at 30 percent.
But as KASB's Mark Tallman pointed out in a recent blog, the issue gets more complicated than that, and it speaks to the very heart of a couple of key issues in the lawsuit itself.
Base state aid is currently calculated at $3,838 per pupil, far lower than the $4,492 required by law. That's because when the Great Recession hit in 2008, state revenues plummeted and the Kansas Legislature cut funding. But the cuts were complicated.
In short, while the state is funding base budgets at $3,838 per pupil, it allowed districts to continue levying LOB's as if base aid had gone up, as scheduled at the time, to $4,433 per pupil. Therefore, if the Kansas Supreme Court orders the state to increase its base aid formula to $4,492, where it's supposed to be now, local districts wouldn't get that much more taxing authority. They've already gotten the increased taxing authority that would flow from most of that increase.
Tallman estimates there would only be $14 million worth of new local taxing authority statewide - not the $154 million that KPI plugged into its polling question.
For its part, KPI says before it put the poll in the field, it confirmed its estimates with Deputy Education Commissioner Dale Dennis. And they forwarded an email from Dennis in which he confirms that he overlooked this quirk in LOB law when he spoke with KPI.
But there are still a few points worth noting:
First, local school boards must take affirmative action every year to decide where they want to set their LOB percentage. If base state aid goes up as a result of a court decision, some districts - possibly including Lawrence, which traditionally levies the maximum amount, whatever that may be - will continue to do so.
But others are likely to come under intense pressure from local voters to use the additional money for tax relief. That's likely to be the case in poorer districts that were forced to raise the LOB's in order to make up for the state funding cuts that began in 2008-2009. So it is false to say there is anything "automatic" about any LOB increases.
Second, one aspect of the lawsuit that often goes unreported concerns "equalization aid" for poorer districts. That's another thing the Legislature has cut, and it's something the plaintiffs are suing to get back. It amounts to a subsidy for lower-wealth districts that would otherwise have to impose huge property taxes to raise the same amount of money as a wealthier district of the same size. So if the Supreme Court sides with the plaintiffs on that issue, as the trial court did, those districts could continue levying the same LOB, and they would see an automatic tax cut.
Third, even with the polling question loaded with that false and inflammatory premise, nearly half of all respondents still preferred to let the courts, as opposed to the Legislature, have the final say in determining how much money is spent. The split was 50 percent to 47 percent against giving the courts that power, well within the 4.5-percent margin of error.
And finally, many observers — including this one — think it is dangerous to assume anything about how the Kansas Supreme Court will or won't rule. During oral arguments in October, it appeared there were a number of justices looking for some graceful way to wash their hands of this case entirely.

Th big news here isn't "faulty poll", but rather "KPI admits...". Probably happened because they asked someone who isn't Dave Trabert. It'd be interesting to see just how much longer Franco keeps his job at KPI.

Greg Cooper 1 year, 4 months ago
And conspicuous by its absence is Dave Trabert's spin on this lie, which he vehemently defended last week
Dave Trabert 1 year, 4 months ago
Whoever wrote the headline on this piece got it wrong again. The phrasing of the poll question was not wrong. As explained in our blog post, we relied on information from KSDE. They confirmed our calculations but unfortunately they apparently forgot that most of the LOB tax increase was already in effect. The 'automatic' aspect of the LOB increase is not in question...just the amount.
David Reber 1 year, 4 months ago
No, the "automatic" is also a lie. Local, elected Boards of Education must by law approve a budget every year, and this includes setting the LOB levy. This is taxation WITH representation - it's how our government works, Dave.
Steve King 1 year, 4 months ago
Um, let's see.
The headline is "KPI admits to faulty poll question", followed by "..prompting KPI to concede one call was misleading..."
Hum. Clear as clean glass to me.
The article was written by Peter Hancock. (His name appears at the top but you were probably too shaken to catch that, rushing to get out your "spin".)
Nope, looks pretty accurate to me. Spin it all you want Dave but the truth is you and your organization is getting more and more exposed, explored, and examined. The dreaded three E's. Everybody is keenly aware your group is a front. You have Alec connections, you have Koch connections/directions. That's getting more toxic by the day for you.
2014 will be a defining year for groups like yours. The common man is starting to wake up with the rest of us. The tin foil hats are coming off.
MerriAnnie Smith 1 year, 4 months ago
Dave has a tough job, trying to paint over the Koch boys' agenda and make ti look like there are no termites eating their way through the foundation just out of sight. Sometimes the termites break through and you can see them with your naked eyes. This is one of those times. There will be more.
I feel sorry for Dave. Like Shakespeare's Hamlet, sleep can be pretty restless when there is so much to worry us:
"To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;"
He also said: ""Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."
