WSJ: Apple testing larger iPhone, iPad screens with suppliers

Rumors that Apple is looking to super-size its upcoming iPhone and iPad lineups are gathering steam, thanks to a recent report from the Wall Street Journal. It cited Apple's suppliers in Asia, who said that Cupertino is testing a 13-inch iPad design and prototype iPhone screens larger than the current four inches. While Apple wouldn't comment, of course, that jibes with an earlier Reuters report, which claimed it was considering 4.7- and 5.7-inch iPhone screens. If accurate (and that's always a big if with such rumors), the report doesn't necessarily mean that products with larger displays will ever come to market -- Apple routinely changes specs and tests components during the development cycle. Still, it would be further evidence that the company's willing to bend on its one-size-fits-all screen size policy, which is something that the large-handed (or weak-eyed) among us might appreciate.

Chinese man sentenced to death for child sex abuse

The convict lured the girls on the pretext of buying them soda or pencils and committed the crime after taking them to obscure alleys.

BEIJING: A man dubbed as "sex offender" in China was sentenced to death on Sunday for raping and molesting minor girls between 2008 and 2012.

Zhang Qinghai, a coal mine worker, was found guilty of raping two girls, aged seven and nine, a court in east China's Anhui province said while pronouncing the sentence with a two-year reprieve.

Zhang was also guilty of molesting four other girls, the youngest of whom was five years old.

The court said the sex offender also took many nude pictures of the girls.

Zhang committed the offences between 2008 and 2012, the court said.

He lured the girls on the pretext of buying them soda or pencils and committed the crime after taking them to obscure alleys, the court said.

For African-American and White Women Factors Influencing Delay in Breast Cancer Treatment Differ

The study used data from the Carolina Breast Cancer Study (CBCS) Phase III, a program of UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center. Scientists found that among White women, household size and losing a job due to one's diagnosis were reasons for delay in treatment, while among African-American women, the type of treatment received influenced delay. Both African-American and White women experienced delay if they underwent immediate breast reconstruction following mastectomy. African-American women were more likely than White women to experience delay associated with this procedure (92.5 percent versus 60.6 percent).

The study was published in the July 3, 2013 issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

The researchers categorized women into two groups: those who received treatment within 30 days of diagnosis, and those whose treatment was delayed by more than 30 days.

"Our goal was to identify the factors that contribute to treatment delay and to assess whether disparities in delay exist between African-American and White women," said Sasha McGee, PhD, an epidemiology graduate student at the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health at the time of this study.

The study found that African-American women between the ages of 20 and 49 were more than three times as likely as White women in this age range to experience treatment delay.

"The study results suggest that specific populations of women need to be targeted when characterizing and addressing determinants of treatment delay, and that younger African-American women may benefit from interventions to reduce disparities in treatment delay," said McGee.

The study population consisted of 601 women with breast cancer between the ages of 20 and 74, who were enrolled in the CBCS between 2008 and 2010. The CBCS is an ongoing population-based study that recruits women from 44 counties in in North Carolina. "We used information from interviews and questionnaires to collect socioeconomic data for each woman," McGee added. "Larger studies often use area-level information for groups of people [e.g. based on census data] and apply these data to individuals in the study, which may not always be accurate." Clinical and treatment information were obtained by reviewing the medical records for each study participant.

"One of the goals of the CBCS Phase III is to assess five- and ten-year survival for study participants once recruitment ends in 2014. Follow-up interviews for study participants will continue for up to five years after diagnosis, therefore not only will we be able to evaluate the impact of a treatment delay of more than 30 days on survival, but also the impact of barriers to treatment and healthcare access," said McGee.

Florida jury has question for judge about manslaughter charge

SANFORD, Florida (Reuters) - A Florida jury interrupted deliberations on the fate of George Zimmerman for the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin on Saturday to ask a question about manslaughter, the presiding judge in the case said.

The query for Judge Debra Nelson came about nine hours into the first full day of deliberations in the case. The jury of six women weighed evidence in the Seminole County courthouse for more than three hours on Friday.

The jury must reach a unanimous verdict of second-degree murder, manslaughter or acquittal for Zimmerman, who says he shot the 17-year-old in self-defense.

Thousands mourn UK soldier slain in London

LONDON (AP) ? British Prime Minister David Cameron joined thousands of mourners Friday at the funeral of a British soldier killed in broad daylight by alleged Islamic extremists.

Lee Rigby, 25, was hacked to death May 22 on a London street near his army barracks. The killing shocked Britain and much of the world.

Rigby's family and mourners were greeted on Friday with applause by members of the public lining the streets outside Bury Parish Church in northwest England, where soldiers from Rigby's Royal Regiment of Fusiliers had maintained an honor guard overnight.

The soldier's widow, Rebecca, walked into the church with the couple's 2-year-old son Jack, who wore a T-shirt bearing the words "My Daddy My Hero." Rigby's parents and sisters were in tears.

London Mayor Boris Johnson was among the public officials in attendance.

The service was private, in keeping with the family's wishes, but broadcast on loudspeakers to well-wishers packing the street outside the church.

Rigby's commanding officer, Lt. Col. Jim Taylor, described the soldier as "extremely popular" and "truly charismatic," telling mourners the man known to friends as "Riggers" loved to perform.

"To be with Lee was to be where it was most fun ? the center of good times and much mischief," Taylor said in a eulogy. "People fell quickly under his spell. Whether it was in work or off duty, at a ceremonial engagement or on operations, Lee just knew how to lighten the mood. He could brighten a room within moments and, by all accounts, clear a dance floor in seconds, if a Whitney Houston track was playing."

Rebecca Rigby had earlier expressed gratitude for the "overwhelming" outpouring of support following the attack.

"There are so many kind and generous people out there," she said in a pool interview ahead of the funeral. "It's just horrible that it takes something such as this to make you see how many good people there are."

Rigby's death caused a spike in racial tensions in Britain due to the apparent involvement of religious extremists. Police reported an increase in attacks against Muslim mosques and community centers in the subsequent weeks.

The two men charged in relation to Rigby's killing ? Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22 ? are due to stand trial starting Nov. 18.
