The Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) is rallying for free trade agreements during its huge Consumer Electronics Show this week, saying barrier-free trade with other countries is crucial to the growth of US jobs.
|
Support for free trade isn't as strong in Washington, D.C., as it has been in past years, with several presidential candidates expressing concerns about free trade agreements, Gary Shapiro, the group's chief executive, said at a CES press conference on Monday.
|
Free trade is "something we've taken for granted as an industry," Shapiro said. "For the first time in my career, I am concerned about the future of free trade ... primarily because in Congress, on television and with some of our presidential candidates, free trade is not a given."
|
Shapiro, who has given his personal support to Republican Mitt Romney's presidential campaign, declined to single out presidential candidates who he saw as antitrade, but leading Democrats Hillary Clinton, John Edwards and Barack Obama have all expressed concerns about free trade agreements, often because of environmental concerns. Mike Huckabee, winner of the Iowa presidential caucuses on the Republican side, said in an October debate that the US doesn't have fair trade with other countries because "an American company is having to pay an extraordinarily high tax on everything they produce, but the countries who are exporting to us don't have the same border adjustability that we do."
|
But Shapiro and US Trade Representative Susan Schwab said Monday that free trade agreements are critically important to the consumer electronics and IT industries.
|
"This is real money for real people in the United States," Schwab said during the CEA press conference from Las Vegas. "If there were ever a sector of the economy, if there were ever an industry, where you see the very, very clear converging of the benefits of free trade, of free markets and of the protection of intellectual property, this is it."
|
Shapiro and Schwab called on Congress to approve free trade agreements that are pending with Columbia, Panama and South Korea. Including a trade agreement with Peru approved by Congress in December, those four countries represent about 124 million consumers, Schwab said.
|
One reporter asked why US residents should support free trade when they see friends or relatives losing jobs to workers in other countries, imported toys containing chemicals that harm children, or pet food that kills dogs and cats.
|
Free trade can cause problems for a small number of workers, but many more US workers have jobs because of free trade, Shapiro said. Free markets have "temporary dislocations," but in the long term, countries cannot protect individual jobs in a global economy, he said. "A great country doesn't put up walls," Shapiro added.
|
Schwab said her office is working hard to crack down on imports of dangerous products. "Our responsibility as a government is, first and foremost, the health and safety of our citizens," she said.
|
Maternal sensitivity was defined as the synchronous timing of a mother’s responsiveness to her child, her emotional tone, her flexibility in her behaviour and her ability to read her child’s cues.
|
Researchers, including those from Boise State University in the US, analysed data from interviews with 1,272 families.
|
They were recruited when their infants were a month old, mothers completed a home interview and became part of the initial study sample.
|
The sample included a substantial proportion of less-educated parents – 30 per cent had no college education, and ethnic minority families – 13 per cent were African-American.
|
In the study, published in the journal Developmental Psychology, women breastfed for an average of 17 weeks. Fewer than one per cent breastfed for 24 months and 29 per cent did not breastfeed at all.
|
Researchers interviewed and videotaped families in their homes periodically until their child turned 11.
|
Parents interacted with their children during free play scenarios and age-appropriate problem-solving tasks. Researchers found that even though increased breastfeeding duration led to greater maternal sensitivity over time, the effect sizes were small.
|
“It was surprising to us that breastfeeding duration predicted change over time in maternal sensitivity,” Weaver said.
|
“We had prior research suggesting a link between breastfeeding and early maternal sensitivity, but nothing to indicate that we would continue to see effects of breastfeeding significantly beyond the period when breastfeeding had ended,” Weaver said.

What iPhone 7 Color to Buy: Red, Black, Jet Black, Gold, Rose Gold or Silver?
|
We’ll help you decide which iPhone 7 color option you should buy, and which iPhone 6s and iPhone SE colors you should buy as well.
|
The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are available in six color options for the first time. Apple still offers the iPhone 6s and iPhone SE in Space Gray, Gold, Rose Gold, and Silver. The new Product RED iPhone 7 is only available in 128GB and 256GB options.
|
The new Red, Black and Jet Black iPhone 7 colors aren’t available on previous models so you’ll need to check them out on an iPhone 7. The other colors you have likely seen, even if you are overdue for an upgrade.
|
Which is the best iPhone 7 color option?
|
While the overall iPhone 7 design looks the same, Apple now hides the antenna lines better on four of the iPhone 7 colors. There are also many upgrades to the iPhone 7 like a new force touch home button, no headphone jack, upgraded speakers and it is water resistant so you might not need a case.
|
In addition to the six iPhone 7 color options, there are two main front iPhone 7 color options. There is no option to customize the iPhone 7 color combinations from Apple, so this front color depends on the main color you choose.
|
If you plan to use the iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus for watching movies and TV shows all the time, the Black and Jet Black iPhone 7 color options are the best options to consider.
|
Jet Black and Black iPhone 7 colors offer a black front bezel that looks great for watching content.
|
These iPhone 7 color options are the only ones with a black front bezel. The black looks a lot like the bezel on your HDTV, which means it creates a nicer looking frame for your content. This allows you to focus on what you are watching more.
|
There is nothing wrong with the white iPhone 7 front color option found on Gold, Rose Gold, nd Silver when it comes to watching a movie for a number of users, but it can still prove somewhat distracting. There is a reason you don’t see white HDTVs.
|
The new Red iPhone 7 color choice stands out.
|
The Jet Black, Rose Gold, and Gold iPhone 7 colors are the most fashionable colors. The new red iPhone 7 is the most stand out choice.
|
If you want an iPhone 7 color that screams, look at me or that confirms you are using the new iPhone, you should choose Jet Black or the Product RED iPhone 7. The Jet Black iPhone 7 includes a black Apple logo to complete the stunning design and the red iPhone 7 includes a standout silver Apple logo.
|
Rose Gold and Jet Black are interesting fashion color choices for the iPhone 7.
|
Gold and Rose Gold are also a great choice that we see many users pick to use without a case or with a clear case, as it mixes well with a variety of styles and looks.
|
The safest choice is Silver, as it works well with a multitude of colors and looks. The silver Apple logo also reflects the colors you are wearing.
|
The iPhone 7 color sample below shows what the new iPhone 7 color options look like next to each other and including the front and back.
|
Here’s your ultimate look at the iPhone 7 color options.
|
We’ve added the red iPhone 7 color below. This also uses the white front like the other fashionable colors. This is something to keep in mind if you are concerned about the color of front of the iPhone.
|
While there was a major problem with the black iPhone 5 scratching, this is not much of an issue for the iPhone 6s. If you choose the black iPhone 7, or opt for the tired and true Gold, Silver and Rose Gold, you should be fine. Apple warns that the Jet Black iPhone 7 is more susceptible to scratches.
|
Apple warns that the Jet Black iPhone 7 color scratches easier than other options.
|
We’ve used the Rose Gold iPhone 6s Plus for a year without any real scratches, and haven’t heard from users complaining about the Gold or Silver option. Space Gray is still a solid choice on the iPhone 6s and iPhone SE.
|
After six months of using the Jet Black iPhone 7 there are some scratches, but fingerprints are the bigger issue.
|
Essentially, there is no best iPhone 7 color to buy that is tougher to scratch, but if you don’t want to see scratches you should avoid the iPhone 7 Jet Black color. The light color of the silver iPhone 7 may still give it a small edge compared to the other colors.
|
One other factor to consider as you choose between iPhone 7 colors is how it will handle wear or fading.
|
We have not noticed any fading to the three older iPhone 7 color options as they exist on the iPhone 6s. Gold is still bright, Rose Gold as pink as ever and Silver as shiny as new. This will likely be the case with the iPhone 7 Black and Jet Black options.
|
A gold iPhone color option can show discoloration if not cleaned regularly.
|
One thing that is an issue to consider is wear and discoloration. We observe some discoloration on lighter iPhone 7 color options when users leave them in a case for long periods and expose them to moisture and then heat. This can cause changes to the colors or leave a stain as seen in the image above.
|
If you regularly clean your iPhone 7 this shouldn’t be a problem, but if you like to buy and just use the iPhone without worrying, keep this in mind.
|
Apple announced a collection of new iPhone 7 cases. If you plan to use the iPhone 7 in a case, you still need to decide what color looks best with that case. You will see a small portion of the iPhone 7 color show through the back and at the bottom of the case. The front iPhone 7 color is also still important.
|
You can see how the Apple iPhone 7 cases look above, but it is also important to factor in the number of clear iPhone 7 cases available like the option from Speck below that lets the iPhone 7 color show through.
|
If you use a clear iPhone 7 case, color is especially important.
|
Which iPhone 7 Color Should I Buy?
|
At the end of the day the best iPhone 7 color to buy is subjective. You have to choose the iPhone 7 color that fits your style and use best. Here is a helpful breakdown in case you are on the edge.
|
Black iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus – You’ll be watching a lot of movies, you don’t like white phone fronts.

Very nice article. I think silver looks better.
|
Something about Jet Black exclusivity makes it more appealing although it may not be practical and may be less appealing than the matte Black. It reminds me of Gold when it first came out.
|

Read the article, it helped me to decide which colour I should go for.

Jet Black, definitely. Or space gray.

TWO SAVED OFF LONGPORT.; Rescued by Coast Guard When Their Motor Boat Fails.
|
Juan Coronel, 9, sees signs of trouble. Graffiti in his Tucson neighborhood makes him worried, reports CBS News correspondent Ben Tracy.
|
"I always feel like I think it's unsafe for me to be around this," said Coronel. "I always get scared that something might happen."
|
Something did happen. When a gunman shot and killed six people in Tucson, the youngest was 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green. She was the same age as Juan and many of his classmates.
|
"She's young. Why take a little person's life away?" asked 4th grader Daijha Hawley.
|
Celebrity photographer Linda Solomon is trying to help these 4th graders focus on their future, not their fear.
|
"I want to be able to give the children a chance to share something, something that is sometimes difficult to express verbally," said Solomon.
|
So each child wrote down his or her hope for America.
|
"My hope for America is to help homeless people," wrote one child.
|
"A peaceful country...a loveable family," wrote another.
|
"My hope for America is to stop bullies fighting with people," wrote a third child.
|
They were given the tools to capture that hope through one single image.
|
Yami Vega, 10, showed the local donation center.
|
"It's pretty sad we have clothes, houses and other people don't," said Vega.
|
Daijha Hawley took her picture of forgiveness.
|
"I think this means that the world can be a better place," said Coronel.
|
Suzi Hileman, the neighbor who took Christina to meet her congresswoman that fateful Saturday helped pick out the best work.
|
When asked what Christina would write, Hileman answered, "Christina would have said peace and justice, which was what was on her sweatshirt that Saturday morning."
|
And that is what Tucson's healing looks like.
|
"I have a hole in my life for a 9 year old...would you fill it?" Hileman asked Coronel.
|
Connecting through tragedy and forming a new picture of hope.

After the untimely death of Heath Ledger months before The Dark Knight debuted in 2008, fans across the world not only mourned his passing, but also inevitably wondered what this meant for the future of Christopher Nolan's Batman franchise. When the film was released nearly seven months later, audiences and critics alike were blown away by Ledger's chilling performance. And after posthumously winning the Oscar for his haunting portrayal of the Joker and becoming the best Batman movie villain to date, it seemed wrong to even consider recasting the role for future films.
|
Ultimately Nolan and his screenwriting partner and brother Jonathan opted out of including even a mention of the Joker in The Dark Knight Rises, leaving us to wonder what happened to the former scourge of Gotham? Leave it to movie merchandising to answer that lingering question.
|
"Now that the Dent Act had made it all but impossible for the city’s criminals to cop an insanity plea, it (Blackgate Prison) had replaced Arkham Asylum as a preferred location for imprisoning both convicted and suspected felons. The worst of the worst were sent here, except for the Joker, who, rumor had it, was locked away as Arkham’s sole remaining inmate. Or perhaps he had escaped. Nobody was really sure. Not even Selina."

Share your wishes for the Joker's fate in comments.

An uncontained wildfire in the Manzano Mountains burned rapidly Tuesday, growing to between 800 and 1,000 acres by night, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
|
The Dog Head Fire broke out on National Forest land close to the Isleta Pueblo border and south of the Chilili Land Grant, Forest Service spokeswoman Arlene Perea said.
|
The blaze, which started at 6 to 8 acres, grew rapidly over the afternoon and into the evening.
|
Though the fire was believed to be up to 1,000 acres Tuesday night, the exact acreage of the fire was unconfirmed, according to Perea.
|
“The fire was just so intense today that even the air resources were having a hard time figuring out where exactly it was,” Perea said.
|
But despite the rapid growth, Forest Service officials say the burn isn’t going as fast as it was when it first sparked.
