Officers in Mexico airport drug ring identified
MEXICO CITY ?
Mexican authorities have identified two federal police officers who shot dead three of their colleagues at Mexico City's international airport this week and say the shooters were part of a trafficking ring that flew in cocaine from Peru.
Luis Cardenas Palomino, the federal police's regional security chief, said Thursday that the slain officers were trying to arrest officer Zeferino Morales Franco at the food court of the airport's Terminal 2 when agent Daniel Cruz Garcia arrived and shot the arresting officers from behind.
Authorities are also looking for a third officer, Bogard Felipe Lugo de Leon, who is the suspects' supervisor and who abandoned his post at the airport shortly after the shooting, Palomino said. The three remain at large.
The government is offering a $360,000 reward leading to the capture of the officers, who Palomino described as "traitors."
Photographs on Lugo's Facebook page show him holding a high-powered rifle and handguns, and posing in front of his patrol car or a federal police airplane. He also has photos of himself carrying a baby girl he identifies as his 7-month-old daughter.
Lugo's comments on his Facebook page seem to suggest he was recently assigned to Mexico City's airport and that before then he was in the resort city of Cancun.
Palomino said that for several months authorities had been investigating a cocaine trafficking ring that involved passengers arriving from Peru's capital, Lima. He said other government officials working at the airport are involved but didn't identify them.
"We know there must be other authorities involved in trafficking and that's what we are investigating," he said.
Passengers would allegedly bring cocaine hidden on their body or in their luggage, and drop it off in bathrooms before reaching the immigration and customs check area.
Corrupt officials would then circle back to pick up the drugs, Palomino said.
The federal Public Safety Department had conducted an 18-month investigation into corrupt federal police officers and other officials who were part of the alleged cocaine trafficking ring. The operation has seized 648 pounds (294 kilograms) of cocaine at the airport, Palomino said.
Since January, seven passengers arriving from Lima have been detained carrying cocaine, he added.
On Monday, the day of the shooting, federal officers watching surveillance cameras saw Morales go into a bathroom shortly after the arrival of a flight from Lima. Two officers approached Morales once he was in the food court area and told their boss in a radio call that he was carrying drugs; that's when the officers were attacked, Palomino said.
A third officer who was nearby for support fired at the attackers but he was wounded and later died at a hospital, he said.
The shooting sent terrified people waiting for their flights diving to the floor for protection.
Palomino said Morales and Garcia got away in a taxi. He said phone records show Morales called Lugo as he was leaving the airport.
Surveillance cameras captured Lugo leaving in his own car, he said.

Oil-rich Calgary a magnet for consulates
The British government dispatched diplomat Tony Kay from the blistering sun of Oman to a promising emerging market. Then he needed a cowboy hat.
More Related to this Story
His first week as Britain?s first-ever consul-general in Calgary was packed with meetings with Alberta cabinet ministers, Shell and BP executives, and Mayor Naheed Nenshi. And Stampede starts next week, so on Thursday the 40-year-old Liverpudlian, last posted in Muscat, was getting ready. ?I?ve got the boots, in fact I?ve got two pair,? he said. ?But I haven?t got the hat yet.? Luckily, Mr. Nenshi gave him one.
The fact that he?s even in Calgary is part of a surprising trend. Britain and other Western countries are slashing foreign-service budgets and closing consulates. When they open one, it?s not in North America or Europe, but emerging markets like China or India. Calgary is the exception.
Britain expanded its Calgary trade office to a full consulate-general this week. France opened a consulate last year. The United States, cutting elsewhere, brought in a few more diplomats. China?s 14-year-old consulate now has 16 staff. In 2005, Japan moved its big consulate-general from Alberta?s capital, Edmonton, to the oil-business centre Calgary.
They?re there because of money, and opportunity. The oil sands offer foreign companies a rare chance to buy, and own, a chunk of massive oil reserves. Alberta wealth means business. But they also know Canada?s economic and political centre is shifting west. The oil sands, and their environmental impact, can be hot politics back home. And pipeline plans could affect energy security of Asian countries and the United States.
The diplomats insist they?re not rivals, though China?s moves into the oil sands have raised eyebrows. Officially, the United States isn?t worried that proposed pipelines to B.C. would allow Alberta oil, now exclusively exported to the United States, to go to China. But a diplomat from another country noted privately that they?d keep an eye out for things like a Chinese oil company making a deal that allows it to reserve oil for China, rather than global markets.
Before the arrival of Mr. Kay, Britain?s consul-general in Vancouver, Alex Budden, travelled to Alberta twice a month, but even with four local Calgary staff, he felt there was much more to do. The British government decided it needed diplomats, speaking for the government, in Calgary.
?The economic engine of Canada is increasingly in the West. With that comes political influence and a resurgence of those provincial governments,? Mr. Budden said earlier this year. ?A lot of our officers are going into developing, emerging markets ? Brazil, China, these sorts of places. But Alberta is a very emerging market within Canada.? That?s very much the reason why we are putting staff in there.?
France used to place its Canadian consulates in the biggest cities, or francophone ones, but diplomat Jean-Charles Bou opened one in Calgary in 2011. French oil giant Total plans to expand to 1,200 employees in four years. Affluence is drawing French bakers, pastry chefs and entrepreneurs. Mr. Bou?s goal is to raise France?s profile: ?It?s the Canada of the 21st century. So it?s important to be here.?
Others have different interests. Japanese Consul-General Susumu Fukuda has expats and trade, but more: His country relies on imported liquid natural gas, but Asian exporters are increasingly consuming their own supply. Japans needs new sources. He follows gas-pipeline projects to Canada?s West Coast. ?We are watching,? he said.
The United States long had this diplomatic turf to itself. Its consulate opened in 1906 after American homesteaders rushed in. Calgary still has 80,000 U.S. citizens. And outgoing Consul-General Laura Lochman?s July 4 party is a hot ticket. Aside from passports and visas, and promoting investment and burgeoning trade, the key job is providing energy intelligence to Washington ? prospects for production, technology, and Alberta and Ottawa?s plans to regulate.
?We try to get ahead of the curve,? Ms. Lochman said. ?All of this stems from our energy security interests. And Alberta being our No. 1 foreign supplier, you can imagine we?re interested in most things related to the energy sector here, and in parallel, the environment.? The oil sands are hot politics in Washington. The diplomats follow technology or regulation that might affect emissions because the U.S. wants to ensure its energy supply doesn?t one day hit a wall of opposition. ?We want to be able to continue to import the resource,? she said.
Now there are other big players. Chinese Consul-General Liu Yongfeng is striking a higher profile than predecessors, and Chinese state oil companies have bought oil sands projects. But she knows some view China?s presence warily. ?Some are even suspicious that China wants to control Canada?s energy,? she said. She tries to refute those suspicions ? noting that Chinese companies are investing now even though none of the oil flows to China yet. But she noted that business executives tell her they want ?more and more? Chinese investment.
?The importance of Alberta, in terms of energy and economy, is a reason for not just China but other countries to send representatives here,? she said.

New method probes alien world's atmosphere
To study the atmospheres of planets beyond the solar system, astronomers have had two choices: pick one that flies across the face of its parent star relative to Earth's perspective ?an event known as a transit ? or wait for a new generation of more sensitive space telescopes that can directly capture the planet's faint light.
Now, there's a third option.
PHOTOS: Exquisite Exoplanetary Art
Using a cryogenically cooled infrared detector on a telescope in Chile, astronomers ferreted out beams of light coming directly from Tau Bootis b, a massive planet about 50 light-years from Earth.
Fifteen years ago, Tau Bootis b was one of the first worlds discovered beyond the solar system.
Now scientists have learned not only how massive Tau Boo is ? roughly six times the size of Jupiter ? but, more impressively, have gotten a readout of carbon monoxide in its atmosphere.
"Atmospheric characterization has been done before, but only for transiting planets. However, the majority of the exoplanets do not transit their stars," lead researcher Ignas Snellen, with Leiden University in the Netherlands, wrote in an email to Discovery News.
SLIDE SHOW: Top Exoplanets for Alien Life
Super-hot Tau Boo flies way too close to its parent star to host life as we know it, but the technique used to probe its atmosphere bodes well for studying other planets better-positioned for liquid surface water. Water is believed to be a key ingredient for life.
"Maybe with the next generation of telescopes we could probe much cooler and smaller planets ? even Earthlike planets. This could then possibly be used to search for oxygen, pointing to biological activity," Snellen wrote.
Astronomers are now looking for other gases, such as water vapor and methane, in Tau Boo's atmosphere. They're also looking for other exoplanets.

SpaceX's 3 minutes of heavenly hell
"We have a method now to look at atmospheres of planets that don't transit," astronomer Simon Albrecht of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology told Discovery News.
HOWSTUFFWORKS: Top 10 Remarkable Exoplanets
The instrument, located on the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope in Chile and known as CRIRES (CRyogenic high-resolution InfraRed Echelle Spectrograph), can finely split light into its component colors for analysis.
The wavelengths of light from the planet change because of the motion of the planet around the star, while the light from the star, and from Earth's atmosphere, exhibits unchanging wavelengths. Astronomers then can filter out the planet light and look for telltale fingerprints of the chemicals that the light has passed through in the planet's atmosphere.
The research appears in this week's issue of the journal Nature.

Nora Ephron, writer-filmmaker, dies at 71
NEW YORK (AP) ? Among the injustices about the death of Nora Ephron is that she isn't around to tell us about it.
"She was so, so alive," says her friend Carrie Fisher. "It makes no sense to me that she isn't alive anymore."
Ephron, the essayist, author and filmmaker who challenged and thrived in the male-dominated worlds of movies and journalism and was loved, respected and feared for her devastating and diverting wit, died Tuesday in Manhattan. She was 71.
Ephron died at 7:40 p.m. at New York Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, her family said in a statement Tuesday night. She died of leukemia.
Born into a family of screenwriters, a top journalist in her 20s and 30s, then a best-selling author and successful director, Ephron was among the most quotable and influential writers of her generation. She wrote and directed such favorites as "Julie & Julia" and "Sleepless in Seattle," and her books included the novel "Heartburn," a knockout roman a clef about her marriage to Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein; and the popular essay collections "I Feel Bad About My Neck" and "I Remember Nothing."
She was tough on others ? Bernstein's marital transgressions were immortalized by the horndog spouse in "Heartburn," a man "capable of having sex with a Venetian blind" ? and relentless about herself. She wrote openly about her difficult childhood, her failed relationships, her doubts about her physical appearance and the hated intrusion of age.
"We all look good for our age. Except for our necks," she wrote in the title piece from "I Feel Bad About My Neck," published in 2006. "Oh, the necks. There are chicken necks. There are turkey gobbler necks. There are elephant necks. There are necks with wattles and necks with creases that are on the verge of becoming wattles. ... According to my dermatologist, the neck starts to go at 43 and that's that."
Even within the smart-talking axis of New York-Washington-Los Angeles, no one bettered Ephron, slender and dark-haired, her bright and pointed smile like a one-liner made flesh. Friends from Mike Nichols and Meryl Streep to Calvin Trillin and Pete Hamill adored her for her wisdom, her loyalty and turns of phrase.
As a screenwriter, Ephron was nominated three times for Academy Awards, for "Silkwood," ''When Harry Met Sally ..." and "Sleepless in Seattle," and was the rare woman to write, direct and produce Hollywood movies. Fisher and Meg Ryan were among the many actresses who said they loved working with Ephron because she understood them so much better than did her male peers.
"I suppose you could say Nora was my ideal," Fisher said. "In a world where we're told that you can't have it all, Nora consistently proved that adage wrong. A writer, director, wife, mother, chef, wit ? there didn't seem to be anything she couldn't do. And not just do it, but excel at it, revolutionize it, set the bar for every other screenwriter, novelist, director."
"Nora Ephron was a journalist-artist who knew what was important to know; how things really worked, what was worthwhile, who was fascinating and why," said "Sleepless in Seattle" star Tom Hanks. "At a dinner table and on a film set she lifted us all with wisdom and wit mixed with love for us and love for life."
The eldest of four children, Ephron was born in New York to screenwriters Harry and Phoebe Ephron, who moved to Beverly Hills, Calif., when she was 4 years old. Words, words, words were the air she breathed. Regular visitors included "Casablanca" co-writer Julius J. Epstein, "Sunset Boulevard" collaborator Charles Brackett, and the team of Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich, who worked on "The Thin Man" and "It's a Wonderful Life."
Everyone was in movies, "the business."
"People who were not in the business were known as civilians," Ephron wrote in "I Remember Nothing."
If the best humor is born out of sadness, then Ephron was destined for comedy. She was 15, she recalled, when her mother became an alcoholic, finishing off a bottle of scotch a night. Her father, too, was a heavy drinker, "sloppy, sentimental," although "somehow his alcoholism was more benign."
Determined by high school to be a journalist, Ephron graduated from the single-sex Wellesley College in 1962, moved to New York and started out as a "mail girl" and fact checker at Newsweek. A newspaper strike at the end of the year gave her a chance. Victor Navasky, the future editor of The Nation, was then running a satirical magazine called the Monacle. He was working on a parody of the New York Post, "The New York Pest," and asked Ephron for a spoof of Post columnist Leonard Lyons.
She succeeded so well that the newspaper's publisher, Dorothy Schiff, reasoned that anyone who could make fun of the Post could also write for it. Ephron was asked to try out as a reporter. Within a week, she had a permanent job and remained there five years. The Post, she later wrote, was a "terrible paper," and she envied her peers at The New York Times and elsewhere who had more time to work on stories and had better access to people they wanted to interview.
"But the point is this. I was better off ..." she wrote in the introduction to the essay collection "Wallflower at the Orgy, published in 1970. "I learned to go through the clips, find the names of people from the subject's past, hunt them up in old telephone books, track them down, and pull out anecdotes they knew. What I'm saying may seem obvious; but one of the things that stuns me is how seldom reporters do this."
Ephron began writing for Esquire and The New York Times and developed a national following as a throwback to the prime of Dorothy Parker and S.J. Perelman and a worthy peer of such new and hip journalists as Gay Talese and Tom Wolfe. She covered political conventions, the feminist movement and Wellesley, which she labeled a factory for "docile" women. Part of her gift was her fresh takes on such traditional subjects for women as food and fashion, like in the essay "The Food Establishment: Life in the Land of the Rising Souffle (Or Is It the Rising Meringue?)"
"The typical member of the Food Establishment," she wrote, "is given to telling you, apropos of nothing, how many souffles he has been known to make in a short period of time. ... He gossips a good deal about his colleagues, about what they are cooking, writing, and eating; and whom they are talking to, about everything, in fact, except the one thing everyone else in the universe gossips about ? who is sleeping with whom."
By the 1970s, she had met Bernstein, who teamed with fellow Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward on prize-winning coverage of the Watergate scandal that brought down President Nixon. They married in 1976, and had two children, but love soon turned to hate ? and matured into art. Ephron was pregnant with their second child when she learned Bernstein was having an affair, a betrayal that had its rewards, once she stopped crying.
She wrote "Heartburn," later a film starring Streep and Jack Nicholson and directed by Nichols, with whom she collaborated often. The book was so close to her life that Bernstein threatened to sue. Decades later, the memory of the book's birth was easily summoned.
"Yes, totally, completely, absolutely, sitting at the legendary and long-gone Smith Corona electric typewriter that I once had," she told The Associated Press in 2010. "I was working on a screenplay and wrote the first 10 pages of a novel, and I knew the title, knew there were going to be recipes in it. This I remember, exactly where I was, working and knowing, 'Oh, I see, enough time has passed that I'm ready to do this.'"
Another perk from her time with Bernstein: She sussed out that "Deep Throat," the unnamed and unknown Watergate source, was in fact FBI official Mark Felt. She would allege that she told countless people about Felt, who did not acknowledge his role until years later.
Her screenwriting credits included "Heartburn," the nuclear power drama "Silkwood" and the romantic comedy "When Harry Met Sally ..." She twice directed the team of Ryan and Hanks, in "Sleepless in Seattle" and "You've Got Mail," and also worked with John Travolta (in the fantasy "Michael"), Steve Martin ("Mixed Nuts") and Nicole Kidman ("Bewitched").
Ephron had a great nose for nonsense, but was enough a citizen of Hollywood to fall, and fall hard, for a happy ending. "Sleepless in Seattle," in which Ryan and Hanks play long-distance admirers who meet at film's end, was not only a remake of the weeper "An Affair to Remember," but a tribute to how movies might tell us how to live. Ryan and her best pal, played by Rosie O'Donnell, are seen watching "Affair to Remember," which inspires Ryan to suggest to Hanks that they meet ? like Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr ? on top of the Empire State Building, on Valentine's Day.
"That's a chicks' movie," Hanks' character says when he learns about the film's plot.
Ephron was married three times: to Dan Greenburg, Bernstein and, quite happily, to "Wiseguys" author Nicholas Pileggi, whose book was adapted into the Martin Scorsese film "Goodfellas." Sisters Delia, Amy and Hallie Ephron also are writers and Nora and Delia collaborated on such films as "This Is My Life" and "Sleepless in Seattle."
In her essay "The O Word," Nora Ephron anticipated growing too old to make jokes about her age. She would be "really old," beyond sex in a hotel room, or even a frozen custard at Shake Shack. It would be nice if she believed in a higher being, but the phrase "everything happens for a reason" is a sermon that only annoys her.
Ephron wrote of summers in the Hamptons on Long Island when her children were little, of fireworks on the Fourth of July and picnics on the beach. She loved the sound of geese in mid-July ? "one of the things that made the summers out there so magical." As she aged, the geese reminded her that summer will end, and so will everything else.
"I especially began to hate their sound, which was not beating wings ? how could I have ever thought it was? ? but a lot of uneuphonious honks," she writes. "Now we don't go to Long Island in the summer and I don't hear the geese. Sometimes, instead, we go to Los Angeles, where there are hummingbirds, and I love to watch them because they're so busy getting the most out of life."

Ronaldo stands by as Portugal goes out
By GRAHAM DUNBAR
AP Sports Writer
Associated Press Sports
updated 5:26 p.m. ET June 27, 2012
DONETSK, Ukraine (AP) -Cristiano Ronaldo watched helplessly as the penalty shootout drama passed him by.
The Portugal captain, and star attraction at the European Championship, stood slightly apart from his teammates on Wednesday as they watched Spain advance to the final. The defending champions won the shootout 4-2 after a 0-0 draw.
Ronaldo never even got to take his kick.
Ronaldo was fifth in line to step up to the spot - a strategy rendered worthless when the Spanish, who kicked first, sent their fifth man Cesc Fabregas to seal victory.
However, Portugal coach Paulo Bento says "I don't regret anything" about the order of penalty takers.
Bento says: "We had defined before what would be the best conditions to succeed."

Mozilla has released a new version of Firefox for Android phones with a redesigned interface, Flash support, and various speed improvements. It's the latest maneuver in what is sure to be a seriously competitive space over the next few years: mobile browsers.
As the web becomes more accessible to mobile devices, people will want to do with their phones what they do already with their desktops and notebooks. That means add-ons for personalization, options for how things are displayed, and the same level of security and usability we have on our full-size browsers.
Mozilla's Firefox was the gold standard on desktop OSes for the PC explosion over the last decade, though it has seen stiff competition lately from Google?Chrome and (on mobile) Apple's?Safari. Without delving too far into the features and shortcomings of these browsers, it can be said that they are only just beginning to battle on the mobile front as smartphones and tablets become mainstream -- and more than that, become as powerful and usable as our PCs.
Firefox on Android has a number of handy add-ons and supports Flash, and the new UI is definitely superior to the built-in browser in Android 4.0. Columns were detected better, text was more readable, and sites were generally rendered as a happy medium between the original layout and a slightly more mobile-friendly one. Interestingly, Flash loaded and ran properly on my HTC One V, a mid-range device with extra software on it, while on a brand-new Galaxy Nexus, it had trouble.
It also supports newer web functions like Do Not Track and various security protocols, and while doing your banking with a web app on your mobile probably still isn't a good idea, it's good to see the new standards being put into practice.
Google will reportedly be bringing Chrome to Android in a big way soon, perhaps even this week at their I/O conference, but until they make that move, Firefox is looking like a no-brainer to install on your Android phone. It's free on the Play Store.

Make The Most Of Your Fitness Routine With These Tips
Flexibility is crucial. You need to incorporate a stretching program into your fitness routine to ensure that your body stays limber. This will help keep you agile and also help to prevent injuries from happening to you.
Test your bench before starting your workout. Simply apply pressure to the cushion with your thumb to see what it?s made of. If you hit metal or another hard surface, that bench is not safe for you to use.
Don?t put too much focus on any one group of muscles. This is a misconception that is bought into by a lot of people, the theory that you can get exceptional results by focusing on one part or side of the body. The problem is that working one muscle group or body area increases the risks of muscle strain, overtraining, and poor looking results.
Is there a game you would like to improve on? Whether you?re playing soccer, tennis, or football, try and focus on the ball rather than the other players. By focusing on the ball, you?ll be able to react and move quicker. First, focus on something that is far away and quickly refocus to something that is close.
Write down all the exercises that you perform in a fitness diary. Be inclusive; you should note down not just your scheduled workouts but also any extra opportunities you had to be physically active. Purchase a pedometer, which can keep track of each step you take daily and be sure to include that data as well. You will know what it will take to get to where you want to be if you compile data.
People often try to do abdominal exercises on a daily basis. This is not the best thing to do for this muscle group. Even abdominal muscles need rest. You should try to give 2 to 3 days rest between your ab workouts.
Fitness includes a lot of different things that can positively impact your life. While there are certain things that must be avoided -or included- in any routine, there are just as many things that can be customized to meet your needs. Are you ready to get into great shape?

Why the Supreme Court ruling on immigration is a clear rebuke to Arizona
Both sides of the immigration debate claim victory, but the court not only accepted virtually all of the Obama administration?s arguments, it also rejected Arizona?s primary contention that local police have 'inherent' authority to enforce federal immigration laws.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer speaks to the media about the Supreme Court decision on the Arizona immigration law, SB 1070, June 25 in Phoenix. Op-ed contributor Ben Winograd says that 'regardless of what Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer or other supporters of the law might say, Monday?s ruling...provides a clear sign that states have little, if any, leeway to enact laws like SB 1070.'
Nick Oza/The Arizona Republic/AP
EnlargeMonday?s mixed Supreme Court decision on the Arizona immigration law has allowed both sides to claim victory. But make no mistake: The court?s ruling represents a stinging rebuke for supporters of SB 1070 and other state immigration laws.
Skip to next paragraph' +
google_ads[0].line2 + '
' +
google_ads[0].line3 + '
The majority opinion not only accepted virtually all of the Obama administration?s legal arguments, it also rejected Arizona?s primary contention that local police have ?inherent? authority to enforce the immigration laws. And while the court permitted one part of SB 1070 to go into effect, it effectively invited future litigants to challenge its application in court.
Thus, regardless of what Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer or other supporters of the law might say, Monday?s ruling ? which was written by Justice Anthony Kennedy and joined by Chief Justice John Roberts, both Republican appointees ? provides a clear sign that states have little, if any, leeway to enact laws like SB 1070. (Although the final vote was 5-3, the margin would have likely been 6-3 had Justice Elena Kagan not recused herself.)
Contrary to popular belief, the question before the justices was not whether Arizona?s law violated the Constitution, but whether it conflicted with federal law. Of the four sections under consideration, the court found three were indeed ?preempted? by Congress.
One of the provisions blocked by the court, Section 3, made it a crime under state law for immigrants to fail to carry ?registration? papers issued by the federal government. Another, Section 5(C), made it a crime for immigrants without employment authorization documents to seek or perform work in Arizona. A third, Section 6, gave local police authority to arrest immigrants ? including those with green cards ? for having previously committed an offense making them removable from the country.
While the legal rationale varied for each section, the majority struck down all three provisions upon finding them to violate federal law or otherwise disrupt the framework created by Congress. (In a partially dissenting opinion, Justice Samuel Alito said that he, too, believed that Section 3 should be overturned.)
The only provision to survive Monday?s ruling was Section 2(B), which requires Arizona police to try to determine the immigration status of people they stop or arrest if ?reasonable suspicion? exists that the person in custody is unlawfully present. (The provision received extensive media attention due to widespread concerns that it could invite racial profiling.)

Samsung: Galaxy S III sales expected to total 10 million by July
Korea's golden goose is on track to drop its 10 millionth Galaxy S III by July, according to Samsung mobile head Shin Jong-kyun. The expectation comes despite limited supply, fueled by a component shortage at the smartphone giant. Regardless of this notable shortcoming, Samsung has wasted no time getting its latest handset to market, and expects to deliver the 4.8-inch Galaxy to some 300 carriers in 147 countries by the end of next month, including all of the major UK carriers, along with AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon in the US. The sky-high figure is merely an estimate, however, so investors may want to stay tuned for the official announcement before uncorking the Dom. Full details are at the source link below.
[Thanks, Joseph]

Portland Roofing - Proper Roof Care Basics
A roof is the least utilized but most vulnerable part of a house. Unlike the rest of the house, one tends to neglect the roof since it not something you notice in your day to day living. It is when problems like leakage begin, that one begins to wonder about the health of their roof. Proper roof care to prevent major damages is a pretty simple and easy to do job. It is important that roof inspections are done periodically and religiously. Make a schedule for when it should be done so you know you are being responsible and practicing proper roof care.
When inspecting a roof the things to look for are 1. Broken or loose shingles 2. Jammed drain pipes 3. Accumulation of algae and other waste material on the roof 4. Mold growth 5. Checking for trees that are too close to the roof
Roof inspections should be done before the rainy season starts off. This is so as to avoid any damage from being aggravated during the rains. The main thing about maintaining a roof is cleanup. Keeping the roof clean and making sure all signs of mould on the shingles are immediately cleaned up will ensure that the problem does not go unnoticed.
If the roof is slate, then most often people tend to patch any damage up with tar. That is the wrong thing to do as all it does is conceal the damage; instead it is best to replace the damaged shingles. The way to figure out which shingles need replacement you need to tap all of them and listen. The ones that are good will return a sharp sound while the ones that need replacement will sound heavy.
If you are in a place that is notorious for severe winters, then it is important to guard against ice formation on your roof. Before winter sets in you should clean the roof of any debris that has collected on the shingles. If debris is not removed, it can allow ice formations, and ice can crack the tiles. So make sure you clean the roof before the start of winter and that there is no debris on the rooftop.
Below the shingles is the flashing. When a leak starts to appear make sure you check the flashing under the shingles as well. It could just be that the flashing is worn out or damaged. The sheathing under the shingles also needs to be checked for damage if you are dealing with leaks.
A roof is built to last anywhere between 75 and 100 years. Proper roof care will ensure it outlasts you. Just a little goes a long way, so make sure you create a roof inspection schedule and follow it.

Italy beats England on penalties at Euro 2012
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) ? Alessandro Diamanti scored the decisive penalty kick Sunday to send Italy through to the European Championship semifinals with a 4-2 win in the shootout following a 0-0 tie with England and a spot.
Ashley Young hit the crossbar with England's third, and Ashley Cole's attempt was saved by Gianluigi Buffon.
Italy will next play Germany in the semifinals on Thursday in Warsaw, Poland. Defending champion Spain plays Portugal on Wednesday in Donetsk, Ukraine.
Mario Balotelli, Andrea Pirlo ? with an audacious slow chip-shot down the middle of the goal ? and Antonio Nocerino also scored for Italy. Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney scored England's penalties.
The match ended 0-0 after 120 minutes of play. The Italians twice hit the post, but were also let down by poor composure in front of goal. Diamanti clipped the post with a curling cross in the 101st minute, and swept a clear shot wide in the clearest chance of the second period of extra time.
Nocerino, another substitute, thought he had scored from Diamanti's cross in the 115th but was offside.
Daniele De Rossi hit the post in the third minute, and Buffon saved a shot from Glen Johnson in the fifth.
For England, it was yet another exit from a major tournament in the quarterfinals after a penalty shootout. England lost to Portugal in the same manner at Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup.
"We have done the country proud but again we go home with heartbreak and it's difficult to take," said Gerrard, who played in both those previous shootout losses.
Italy dominated the match, which ended 0-0 after 120 minutes of play. The Italians twice hit the post, but were also let down by poor composure in front of goal. Diamanti clipped the post with a curling cross in the 101st minute, and swept a clear shot wide.
The first scoreless match at Euro 2012 was neither dull nor lacking good soccer.
Italy's attacking desire and creativity under coach Cesare Prandelli had playmaker Andrea Pirlo at its heart. Italy had 35 shots, compared to only nine for England.
England had briefly led the shootout after Riccardo Montolivo missed Italy's second penalty. His shot went wide of Joe Hart's right post as the England goalkeeper guessed correctly.
Rooney then sent Buffon the wrong way, firing in his spot kick to the keeper's right to give England a 2-1 lead.
The momentum shifted after Pirlo's bold piece of skill leveled at 2-2.
It had been perhaps the toughest Euro 2012 quarterfinal match to predict, and Italy and England set the tone by both coming close within five minutes.
De Rossi hit the post with a spinning left-foot shot from 25 yards, then Johnson's scooped shot from close range was swatted away by Buffon.
An intriguing match almost demanded that Balotelli take center stage. The Italy forward ran clear in the 25th, but hesitated and allowed John Terry to block his chipped shot.
Balotelli forced Hart, his teammate at Manchester City, to save an acrobatic shot, then surged between England's central defenders before putting a half-volley over the crossbar. He kicked the goal post in frustration.
Italy continued surging in the second half and De Rossi, taking a ball over his shoulder, scuffed his shot wide. De Rossi sank to his knees in obvious exasperation, and more Italian frustration quickly followed.
Three rapid-fire chances in the 52nd saw Hart beat away De Rossi's long-range shot, block Balotelli's follow-up and watch Montolivo lash the loose ball high.
England coach Roy Hodgson had to react to Italy's dominance, and sent on substitutes Andy Carroll and Theo Walcott, who both scored in a 3-2 win over Sweden.
Carroll's muscular presence created a shooting chance for Young but England still failed to convince. Rooney made little impression after an early diving header.
De Rossi was replaced by Nocerino and the substitute threatened in the 89th. He took another crafty pass from Pirlo on the run, but Johnson tracked back to block.
Deep into injury time, Italian defensive jitters created a chance for Rooney but his overhead kick sailed high.
___
Lineups:
England: Joe Hart, Glen Johnson, Joleon Lescott, John Terry, Ashley Cole, James Milner (Theo Walcott, 61), Steven Gerrard, Scott Parker (Jordan Henderson, 94), Ashley Young, Wayne Rooney, Danny Welbeck (Andy Carroll, 60).
Italy: Gianluigi Buffon, Ignazio Abate (Christian Maggio, 90), Leonardo Bonucci, Andrea Barzagli, Federico Balzaretti, Daniele De Rossi (Antonio Nocerino, 80), Riccardo Montolivo, Andrea Pirlo, Claudio Marchisio, Mario Balotelli, Antonio Cassano (Alessandro Diamanti, 78).

Mock 2012 NBA draft: Davis still goes No. 1
The easy choice, presumably, is for the Hornets to select Kentucky big man Anthony Davis with the No. 1 overall choice in Thursday night's NBA draft.
After that pick, there doesn't appear to be any consensus choices.
And that's not encouraging for Bobcats owner Michael Jordan. With the second pick, Jordan's selection is significant for a franchise in dire need of good players.
There are some indications Jordan will pick Kansas power forward Thomas Robinson. But will it be Connecticut power forward Andre Drummond? Or North Carolina small forward Harrison Barnes? Or Kentucky small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.
"I would not want to have the second pick this year," one Western Conference team executive said. "That's a scary pick. You could pick a stud or you could pick an OK player."
Or a bust, and that can't be the kind of thing Jordan wants to hear.
But the teams below the Bobcats won't have it easy in the draft either.
Most teams are bringing in players for private workouts and executives are gathering in groups to watch other promising players.
In the last week, some players who were expected to be lottery picks have had some poor showings, and consequently their stock has dropped.
"Some of these players aren't NBA-ready," another Western Conference executive said. "That's why so many players are moving all over the place on draft boards."
Then there is the case of Ohio State's undersized center Jared Sullinger.
NBA doctors diagnosed him with back problems after the NBA pre-draft camp at UIC. The 6-foot-9 prospect, a projected lottery pick, apparently has dropped out of the top 16 picks.
With just a few days to go before the draft, some players have been impressive enough in workouts to have improved their chances of getting picked earlier.
That list includes Weber State point guard Damian Lillard, Illinois center Meyers Leonard and Florida guard Bradley Beal.
"This draft tells you that the draft is based on potential," the first executive said. "The kids are so potential-based that they have to go to the right team. If they go to the right place, there could be some stars in this draft."
bturner@tribune.com
Player; age; position; height; weight; school
1. Hornets: Anthony Davis, 19, PF, 6-10, 220, Kentucky ? Still best in draft; impact player.
2. Bobcats: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, 18, SF, 6-7, 228, Kentucky ? MJ still could change mind.

Pecan Corner: Barbarian Days: A Family Doctor's Home in the ...
A couple of weeks ago, we went to Cross Plains, Texas, and toured the Robert E Howard home as part of their "Barbarian Days Festival".? Howard's father was Dr. Isaac M. Howard. This simple frame house served as the family home, and, also, sometimes, doubled as Dr Howard's office where patients were seen. The home was continually in use as a place to live for various families from the time Dr Howard sold it until Cross Plains' Operation Pride recovered it for preservation in 1989.
?Since that time, they have worked to furnish it with period furnishings and house those artifacts they can obtain (such as the camel inkwell that stood on Howard's desk - a gift from Cecil Lotief, local Cross Plains? dry goods merchant - and first Texas legislator who had been born in Lebanon. He was first elected in 1932). Other furnishings are close copies of items either known to have been there, or true to the period.? Below is a photo of Bob Howard in front of this house, circa 1925.
My main interest was that I enjoy touring simple historical homes: the kind of house in which ordinary citizens lived a hundred years ago. In this case, the home of an ordinary small-town family physician. During that epoch in American history, there were similarities among all Americans of frugality, economy of space and furnishings, and natural closeness of proximity to household members and neighbors, that is readily apparent when we walk through such a home and consider how life would be lived in it.
?By today's standards, the author's cell-like bedroom/study (below) is tiny, cramped, and simple. But by the standards of the day (continuing even up into the 1970s in most of the country), it was probably much like the rooms of Howard's own unmarried peers. The room offered simple comfort, privacy, a bright and airy place in which to write and attend to the voluminous correspondence an author would keep up in that era when postcards and letters would be mailed daily for the same purposes email and messaging would serve today.?
The bare bulb was a common feature of most homes until new homes built in the prosperous 1950s and 60s popularized inexpensive, built-in light fixtures. My grandmother's house had several while I was growing up.? Our current house still had bare bulbs in the mid-1940s during WWII, when Rita's family first moved here, and it was the first time they had electricity. This house at that time had 4 rooms - and her family rented one of them out to a soldier and his wife, who kept all their household goods in that one small bedroom, brought pots out to cook and went back into their room to eat their meals! This gives an idea of how economically indoor space was used during these earlier eras.
?Porches were converted into bedrooms more often than not - and existing windows and doors were just left intact. During pre-electric times, such windows and doors still had use for ventilation and light, just like the transoms found above interior doors in so many old homes. If not needed to carry daylight and breezes, these unused windows and doors were often covered permanently with a heavy curtain or drape to block light and drafts, and furniture would be placed in front of it as though it were a solid wall.
My mother's house, of similar or slightly earlier vintage as this one, has two such converted porches: one very similar to this one resulted in her kitchen having a window-to-nowhere (well, technically, a window-into-the-next-room). Her kitchen also has another window that faces into the remaining screened "sleeping porch" that could have been, if needed, similarly converted. The other converted porch left a door-to-nowhere behind the sofa in her living room (but alas, there is no "door into summer"!).
Not only were bedrooms added to accommodate growing families, but also young adults tended to live at home until they married, and were given their own space by adding a room or converting a porch. Our house has a converted porch that we now use as the laundry room. but which once turned a crowded 4-room house into a three-bedroom home? and housed a family's sons, who had previously slept in the living room.
From the back, it is each to see the flat roof of the addition - also very common for what is known as "lean-to" add-ons. Our house has a similar flat roof over the portion added in the 1970s.
?
?I was particularly interested to see the plate block for Dr. Howard's original bookplate (or Ex Libris as some call them). It is a linoleum cut and bears the doctor's own signature. A corresponding print from it is framed with it, but I couldn't tell whether the plate was designed to make prints onto gummed paper for application, or to print directly onto a book's fore-leaf.
?The docents at the museum, all members of Cross Plains' Project Pride, were wonderful, and I appreciated their friendly guidance through the tour. Here is one of these nice ladies with the Cross Plains Centennial Quilt, displayed in Mr and Mrs Howard's bedroom of the home, to which she had contributed a square. Each block was made by local women to celebrate the town's history, and its recovery from the devastating wild fires that burned 130 homes and killed two people in 2005.
?We wrapped up the day with the Barbarian Festival in a lovely, oak-shaded park, complete with live music, free watermelon (courtesy of AMA-Techtel), Conan the Barbarian artwork, and fabulous food. There was even a car show. This is an annual event and it was a lot of fun. I hope we will be able to go again from time to time!
Much more about Howard, his writing, his family, and life can be found at various places, including REH: Two-Gun Raconteur, REHupa (the Robert E Howard United Press Association), and the Robert E Howard Foundation.

Matchup?|?Preview?
The Jays continue their current nine-game road trip with this set against Miami. They are coming off a series loss to the Brewers. They have actually won four of their last six, but when you look at it in a broader manner you see a team that is has actually lost 8-of-13.
The Jays will hope that they can turn things around before the All-Star break, and a good showing in the sunshine state could set the team in the right direction.
Meanwhile, the Fish have just been flat out awful as of late. After claiming first place in the division back in late May they have since fallen apart. The club has dropped 12 of their last 14, and shows no signs of reversing that trend anytime soon.
The pitching match-up:
Jays ? Brett Cecil 1-0 3.60 ERA ? 5 K?s ? 1.20 WHIP
Cecil is no stranger to the big leagues, but he is coming off his first start of the 2012 season. The hard-slinging southpaw pitched as well as he needed to in his outing against the Phillies. Going five innings while walking just one batter. He gave up five hits and two runs in that start, picking up the win in the process.?
Marlins ? Josh Johnson 4-5 4.18 ERA ? 70 K?s ? 1.46 WHIP
Johnson has just has not been able to find his past form during the 2012 campaign. He has started to come around as of late though. The 28-year old has not given up more than three runs in his last eight starts. The Marlins have won six times during that span. In the two losses, he has been given just one run total of support. Maybe things are looking up for the young right-hander.
Players to watch for:
Jays ? Jose Bautista .232/22/52/.353
Bautista doesn?t have much of a track record against Johnson, but he has started to find his stroke as of late. He has piled up 22 long balls this season, and looks poised to build on his back- to-back campaigns of 43-plus home runs.
Marlins ? Giancarlo Stanton .269/14/42/.344
Stanton has just two hits in his last seven games, but he is just too talented to be kept down for too long. He has 14 homers on the season, but just one has come in the current month. This was back on the June 6. He has yet to face Cecil this season, but hits lefties at a .328 clip. Including a homer every 13 at-bats.
