MacEwan Family
Stockley Family
Sheldon Fearon feels a move to Australia will help his family enjoy
a better pace of life.
I would like to see us sit down as a proper family, enjoy life,
tone it down a bit. There is too much rushing around, you know?
But his wife Shelly Ann
is struggling with leaving her life in the UK behind.
Change is good but sometimes it can be devastating.
At the moment, I'm devastated.
A trial week sees the family get a vision of how they might live...
It said, "Fearon family! Come to me!"
..before being brought back down to Earth by the close-knit family they
have back home.
It is not easy to just walk away and start over again.
-It is not easy.
-So, do we have to?
Covering a landmass of almost three million square miles,
Australia has been hailed as a land of opportunity.
Promising sunshine, beaches and a strong economy,
the attraction shows little sign of easing up, with latest figures
showing over 28% of the country's population is born overseas.
The Fearon family from Dagenham has reached a dilemma that needs to be
settled once and for all.
To stay in the UK, where they have a happy, settled and prosperous life,
or risk it all on a move across the world to Australia.
Over one trial week, they'll get to see where they might live,
what they can afford and the jobs they could get if they emigrated.
At the end, they'll come to a final decision and vote.
After a journey lasting around 20 hours, the Fearons have landed in Perth.
So what are Shelly Ann's thoughts on the journey?
I'm totally shattered.
I didn't get any sleep at all because I was watching.
Expected him to be hopping like a kangaroo.
And then they're saying, "Oh, my God, are we doing the right thing?"
And thoughts going through my mind, because it's now decision time.
Dad Sheldon knows that he's his work cut out for him.
I'm excited but I'm a bit cautious, I guess.
I'll prove to everybody, by end of the week, this is the place to be.
You'll try to prove to me by the end of the week.
The heat is on.
Let's go.
Let's hope this week isn't too hot to handle.
Welcome to Australia!
Meet the Fearon family.
-They are dad Sheldon, mum Shelly Ann...
..Shelletha, aged 11, and Shellomi, who's six. That's a lot of Sh's!
Originally from Jamaica, it's fair to say, in their case,
opposites attract.
We are two totally different people.
She is more of the fiery type, she is more outspoken woman.
Me, I'm just more reserved. I'm a person who chills and takes it easy.
Totally the opposite of me.
He's very gentle.
He's not romantic at all and it's a good thing
that I don't like flowers because, you know, we'd have domestics.
Now, to add to their differences,
Sheldon wants to make the move to Australia.
It's much warmer there!
I'd stop moaning about the cold.
I'll stop aching so much.
We'll get to spend more quality time as a family together.
I believe, the more time we spend together,
the stronger the unit becomes.
Shelly Ann is less hot on the idea,
but in some ways she feels responsible.
I initiated it, about ten years ago, but he wasn't interested at all.
And then we took a family holiday, two years ago, to Australia,
and from the day we landed, that was it.
He was dead set to move to Australia.
But I still firmly believe he's seen the skin of things.
Nothing is that easy.
Nothing is that perfect.
Do I want to start over at this stage in my life?
Yeah, nobody wants to start over at this stage
-cos, I mean, we're not particularly young.
-Ah! Speak for yourself.
Yes, we're getting on.
And how do the girls feel about a possible move?
I think I would like to go and find out a bit more. Yeah.
-If you start crying, I will laugh. If you start.
-I'm not going to cry.
For Shelly Ann, however,
a move would mean separating from her beloved family.
I've got five brothers.
I'm the eldest. I'm like a second mum.
I love them to bits.
I was left with a charge by my dad, three days before he passed away,
that, as you're the oldest one, I'm leaving my responsibility to you.
Look after your brothers.
I promised I would.
I was 17.
My youngest brother was four.
Leaving them now, I know they're grown,
but they still come to me, you know?
Will I be letting my dad down?
I know he's not here, but I made a promise
and I don't break promises.
I did it...
..because he was a good man.
One of them said, "You're abandoning the family."
It's not my choice, it's not my choice. Erm...
In addition to the family dynamics,
there's one other concern that Shelly Ann has on her mind.
We're a minority group.
We don't know whether we'll be accepted.
We don't know.
And if they're not open-minded, I will be able to defend myself, but
should I put my children in that situation?
That they feel less of a person because of their race...
Because of the colour of their skin,
when there's beauty in difference but not everybody sees that.
For Sheldon, though, it's something they can do together.
Nobody said it's going to be easing. We know it's challenging,
but we're a strong team.
We've had many fights.
We're not going to give up on this one. We'll fight to the end.
We can make it. As long as we're together, we can make it.
The family's base for the week is a rental property in the suburb of
Belmont, a few miles east of Perth city centre.
It's time to check out their temporary home.
I think everyone's pleased.
Especially when they see what's outside.
A swimming pool!
Despite the excitement, though, the reality of now being in Australia
is starting to hit home for Shelly Ann as she unpacks.
Because I know the reason why we're here is to feed Sheldon's
obsession, so to speak, it's decision-making time.
So there is that added pressure.
This is our life. It's not a holiday, it's our life.
As the girls battle over their room, Sheldon is taking it easy,
as Sheldon does.
We're here for real now,
and I need to prove to Shelly Ann
and the girls that this is the place for us to be.
But he knows it won't be an open and shut case.
Shelly Ann, she's a bit unpredictable.
I'm not exactly sure.
I'm hoping by the end of this week that she'll be fully persuaded.
I believe she'll come around.
Back in the UK, the Fearons live in a three-bedroom house in Dagenham
outside London and it's fair to say that the place they call home has
been the house that Sheldon built.
We moved in, it was Sheldon's sweat, time, effort and skills
and it's a nice home for us.
It's a comfortable place to be, a happy place to be.
As much as the bricks and mortar, however, it's the location
of where they live that matters most to the Fearons.
Where we live at the moment is a very secluded area
because it's classed as the village of where we live,
with the parish church just up the road.
So what would they want from Australia?
Well, Sheldon knows.
The girls finding the right school
and...a nice dream house.
Perfect place as well,
where the sun is shining.
Find a nice church as well, where we can have fellowship.
Yes. That would be a dream come true for us.
They have a budget of £400,000 to spend.
Tidy.
To find out what kind of home their money could get them in Perth,
we'll show them three properties -
two based on budget and a third, which could be their dream home.
Their search begins in Gooseberry Hill.
Popular with families, it's close to schools, parks and
reserves and straightaway the vibes are good.
Love it. Outside.
Yeah, this is exactly what we want, baby.
This will do for us.
Yeah, outside...
Inside, the front opens up to the kitchen,
which causes a bit of confusion.
So you come straight in and then you're in the kitchen.
Small and dated but it's not bad.
Outside one point, inside zero!
Let's have a look around and see.
Round the corner, however, is the sitting area,
although I'm not sure it's enough to win over Shelly Ann over.
-I like this.
-That's a bit better. It's all right. And the view.
-Look.
-I like.
The outside is more appealing to me still, at this stage.
Well, thankfully, the outside isn't too far away.
What have we got here now?
I've got no idea.
But it's nice outside.
This could be a nice barbecue area. We could do a barbecue over there,
bring the food over here and everybody sit round the table.
I don't see it! Not as a barbecue area, no.
All right, let's have a look at the gym.
-Did he say gym?
-Yes, he did.
-That's all right.
You get your belly down, love.
Do some weights, do some squats.
Get back my six-pack.
You never had a six-pack.
Poor Sheldon! Let's hope the first bedroom is up to standard.
I hope this is not the master bedroom.
If it is... If it is, Mum, I'm taking it.
Good. You'd have the sleep out there.
The walk-in wardrobe, however, has given Sheldon a plan.
What we should do, baby, we knock this wardrobe out,
and extend the master bedroom.
And lose the walk-in wardrobe.
We're not doing that.
Half a point because I like the wardrobe,
but zero points for your idea.
-But it's a good try.
But the discovery of an en-suite could get him that extra point.
Whoo! Ensuite.
The bathroom is a bit dated, though.
You're a plumber, mate.
That, we can overcome!
I'm here to rest, not to work!
Best move on while you're ahead, Shel.
Into one of the children's rooms.
You'd have to declutter,
you'd have to get rid of some of your toys.
How can we get rid of toys?
Because the room is smaller than what you have now.
The master room is mine!
-OK, then.
-If this house is to get Shelly Ann onside,
then the outside space is going to have to seriously impress.
And luckily, it does.
-Is it a swimming pool?
-I love this.
This is beautiful. So that's two for me now.
I love it. I love it.
So what are the overall thoughts about property one?
You got a point for the curb appeal, and a point for the pool
-and the surrounding areas.
-Thank you very much.
But none for the house.
But could they afford it on their £400,000 budget?
-Cool.
-Wait, so it's not a lot of money?
-It's overpriced.
-426,000.
-Yeah, it's overpriced.
I wouldn't pay that. Sorry.
The family move swiftly on to property number two.
It's in Maddington, 12 and a half miles from Perth and, with plenty
of family amenities close by, this four-bedroom home sits in a
rare half acre in a former orchard.
How will this place go down?
I'm reserving judgment.
Inside is...a bit of a let down.
Oh, dear!
This is quirky, I don't do quirky.
It's bordering on being depressing.
-It's not that bad!
-Yeah, it is that bad.
Dated. You'd have to rip everything out.
Oh, dear.
This is the dining room.
Living. Yeah, it's a bit dated.
Two strikes, then.
Will the bedrooms finish this place off once and for all?
Yeah, it's a nice big room.
Yeah, but...
Any rooms for improvement?
This is very bright.
One side is seriously dark and depressing, and the other two is,
you know, light and elating, but small.
It looks like outside is going to have to save things again.
Ah! I see a swimming pool!
This is nice.
This is beautiful. It's a nice family area.
Oh, look at this! So maybe, then, this could be the barbecue area.
There's even a man cave for Sheldon.
-Wow!
-This is cool.
-How does the family feel now about this quirky house?
Whether we can afford it or not, I don't think I would want this house.
Their budget is £400,000.
That's the same one as the other one.
That's a lot less than they thought.
-We could actually get this one, but...
-We don't want it.
Hopefully, property three can turn things around for Sheldon.
Situated in Kelmscott, with shops and schools close by,
will this modern four-bedroom home impress the family?
When they arrive, their reactions are not hard to read.
SHE SCREAMS
-Yes! Yes!
-This is cool, this is cool.
-Five points.
Five points.
I want to get out!
Inside, the excitement continues.
-This is beautiful.
-Yeah, this is it.
That's fine. It cries family.
"Come and sit in me."
Sheldon's like the cat that got the cream.
-Nice dining area.
Couldn't ask for more.
I love the surface - feel that.
What's that, Sheldon?
-Marble.
-It's marble? I don't think we can afford this house.
This is beautiful.
It takes my breath away.
And it's even got an infinity pool.
-One for you.
-Back inside, the family check out the sleeping arrangements.
Ah! Master bedroom.
This is absolutely fantastic.
-Look at this.
-You've got two showers.
-My goodness.
It's amazing.
SHE GASPS
Walk-in wardrobe.
Yeah, if we can afford something like this, baby.
I'd follow you to Australia.
-Straight away?
-I'd follow you to Australia.
That's a major breakthrough.
I guess the children will need somewhere to sleep, too.
Bedroom.
Yeah, baby, this looks nice. See?
It's fair to say that this place has blown everyone away.
I believe that this is it, this has got everything we've ever dreamt of.
I love it. I can't fault it.
It's just waiting for us, whether we can afford it.
Remember, their budget is £400,000.
All right, shall we have a look then?
-Ah!
-539!
-This house is worth it. We can go back and recalculate.
We're willing to make some compromises.
I'm feeling over the moon now because I've actually proven to you
that the houses over here are just right for us.
Property one didn't impress on the inside,
but the outside made up for it.
At £426,000, it was slightly over budget but still doable.
House number two had a quirky interior, but they loved the outside
and it was the same price at £426,000.
But property three was perfect.
At £539,000, it was over budget but that didn't put the couple off.
So when it comes to property in Perth, will the family vote
for the UK or down under?
-Australia.
-UK.
Mum!
What? Why the UK?
We found that property that's ideal for us,
but now I'm thinking about my brothers.
We would need more space.
If they are to afford an even bigger dream house,
the pressure is on to secure the best jobs they can.
Back home, Sheldon works as a plumber,
a job that suits his personality.
I love solving problems.
I'm really happy when I fix a customer's leak or their boiler.
I feel really satisfied, just to see that smile on their face.
The only problem he can't solve, however,
is just how long he's working.
I'm on-call 24 hours per day, seven days a week, so when I'm coming in,
Shelly Ann is going out. When she's coming in, I'm going out,
so we don't really get to spend much time together as a family.
Shelly Ann works for the police in the communications department and
it's a hugely responsible job.
We deal with every aspects of call, and I manage a group of 150 people,
who deals with day-to-day running of London, basically.
She has worked hard to get where she is and fears a move to Australia
could put her career into reverse.
Going to Australia,
I might have to come back down the rankings that I am.
There's no assurance that I'm going to get a job,
so it is a massive risk and it is playing on my mind.
Today, the couple get to explore their chances of finding work down under.
First up, Sheldon is visiting one of the biggest commercial plumbing
companies in Western Australia,
where he's introduced to site manager expat, Bret Glover,
for a tour of the huge project at Perth Stadium.
They've got food and beverage, so, overall,
there's 100 food and beverage outlets in this stadium.
As Sheldon goes with the flow, we catch up with Shelly Ann,
who's at the nerve centre for the WA Police Emergency Response.
She's meeting with expat police staffer, Joanne Clarke,
and, first up, she's keen to find out
if she could get the same management role in Australia.
In the UK, I'm in a senior position
and worked very hard to get to that role.
Is there any way or any equivalent I could come into that role?
With that experience, I'd say you'd probably fit in to the role that I
do at the moment, which is team leading,
which is probably equivalent of supervising, where we're responsible
for a team of between ten and 12 members of staff each.
There's 14 teams, so day-to-day we're part of the operational
running, quality assuring of their calls,
plugging in and assisting them.
Not quite the level of responsibility Shelly Ann's used to
but will the wages match up?
You're looking at about 80,000 Australian dollars,
which, for you, would be the equivalent of about £46,000.
That would be more money for less responsibilities.
-Oh. Fantastic.
-Have I sold it to you?
-Partially, yes!
Lovely. That's good.
Back at the stadium, Sheldon is talking qualifications with Brett.
One thing I did find difficult when I first came out here was trying to
get all the qualifications.
Plumbing's licensed, so you've got two licences over here.
You've got a trade's license and a contractor's license.
So you give the plumbing licensing board all your qualifications and
then you do, it's called a migrant's course, which is three weeks,
and there's no way round that.
You have to do that license.
Once I've got my qualifications,
what sort of salary would I be expecting?
It is long hours, but a typical plumber here would be earning above
100,000 take home after tax.
Job-hunting over,
it's time for Sheldon and Shelly Ann to discuss their day.
After tax, I'd be getting approximately 100,000,
which is approximately £70,000 after tax.
That's an improvement.
The shift is a bit longer than some shifts over in the UK,
but in time we can get that fixed.
So how did your day went?
What do you mean, the shifts are a bit longer? Like, how?
-What are your hours?
-So we start at six o'clock in the morning and
-finish at four o'clock.
-Right.
So that takes away family time, doesn't it?
Well, my day was informative and I could easily fit in, easy.
Standing on my head!
Well, you know! My worry is a bit like self demotion,
so, at this moment in time, I don't know where I'm going...
Or what I'm going to do.
Right, time to vote and I'm not sure how this one is going to go.
Wow! You surprised me there.
Yeah, I'm unpredictable.
Where do I strike the balance?
Where do I draw the line?
Because, for every achievement, there has to be a compromise.
Indeed, absolutely.
Halfway through their trial week and Sheldon's mission to convince
Shelly Ann is hanging by a thread.
And with the all-important financial reality check
and messages from home still to come,
something tells me he has a lot more work to do.
First though, a day sampling the sort of lifestyle the family might
be able to enjoy in Perth gives the couple a chance to gather their
thoughts before moving forward to the second part of the week.
One of Shelly Ann's biggest concerns about a move to Australia
is whether it offers the sort of diverse community
the family has enjoyed in the UK,
so they're off to meet some people who might set her mind at ease.
And as the Fearons arrive at Perth Caribbean Society,
Nadine and Cass greet them with hugs and the family are soon at ease.
Everyone is relaxed and enjoying this vibrant group of new friends.
All in all, it's been the perfect way to spend some time.
Fantastic bunch of people.
Fantastic place to be.
Sometime, change is good.
It can be a breath of fresh air and I think I've got a
breath of fresh air today. And I had jerk pork, which I love.
So, yeah, it was good.
Lunch over, it's time to work off a few of those calories,
and what better way to do that than to get out on the water?
But Sheldon might need some persuading.
Are you going in?
I don't want to.
If you don't go in, you don't get a vote.
I believe I was blackmailed.
-Off you go.
-Why are you breathing so heavily? Stop panting.
-I'm alive.
Sheldon, you're letting me down. Come on.
Look at Shelletha.
I knew he wouldn't be able to do it, that's why I wanted him to go in.
He doesn't like cold water.
To see the girls embarking on this experience
is elating and they're happy.
And it even looks like Sheldon has got the hang of it...or not.
As Mum and Dad take a break, they reflect on the day's events.
Coming to Australia and coming in this environment where the people
are friendly and nice and welcoming,
this is what we've always hoped for.
We feel like we're with a family -
a family away from our families.
Let's hope Shelly Ann will buy into the idea.
Yay! Today has surpassed some of my expectations.
It has been totally, totally relaxed and just about the four of us,
so that's what's important...
But Sheldon knows it's not always cut and dry with Shelly Ann.
I don't want to get my hopes too high and then I'm...
I just get dropped in it. I'm hoping she'll make the move.
I'm hoping and I'm trusting and I'm praying. Yeah.
So, after a day of lunch, laughs and larking about on the water,
what way will the family vote?
Joking. Australia.
-Mum!
-I got you!
Back in the UK, the Fearons are mortgage-free,
but to find out how much they would have to spend on their dream home in
Australia, we sent two estate agents to value their home in Dagenham.
-I'm excited about this.
Oh, wow. This is really nice living room.
And the kitchen. This is a really good size.
We need to do some modernisation, but apart from that it's very good.
OK. So, yeah, the family bathroom has been extended,
so a better size than we would expect it to be.
And this is the master bedroom.
Good size. Again, it needs a bit of refurbishment and, wow,
that's an interesting view.
Best neighbours.
So this is the third bedroom, which is a much better size
than we might expect. So a good room.
I hope he took his shoes off.
In the current market conditions,
I would resell this house at a price
between £320,000, up to £340,000.
-Oh, please.
-For a quick sale, this house could achieve between
£290,000 and £310,000.
On your bike, missy.
I would value the property at £370,000 to £375,000.
-Now you're talking.
-For a quick sale, £350,000.
-The second evaluation is more realistic.
Now it's time to see how the finances compare between Australia
and the UK. First up, it's the food shop.
Yorkshire tea bag. Oh, my God!
£3.50 in the UK.
£6.88.
Yes, it's like double the price.
Salmon, OK, you buy a lot of that.
That's a bit more expensive.
Doubled in price. £9.59 UK, £19.35.
If we cut the salmon out, we save loads of money.
-Are you joking?
-We wouldn't be in minus.
I think we'll get rid of the tea.
You can't get rid of the tea.
-Why not?
-You have to drink tea.
And when they add it up...
That will be £85 per month worse off in Australia than in the UK on
-our weekly shop.
-Worse off isn't good, but it's not too bad.
-It's not too bad.
-It's manageable.
-Sheldon can't believe his ears.
But how will the bigger bills go down?
So we go from no mortgage to 567.
Oh. Water.
Water is expensive here.
Everything is more expensive.
So our total outgoings in Australia is £852 per month worse off.
-Yeah, that's a lot of money.
-It's a lot worse off.
The figures have come as a blow, but they still need to take into
account their potential income.
If we minus that from 161...
So we'll be £912.84 better off per year in Australia.
-It's a bit daunting.
-Of course it is.
We were expecting a bit more, but...
It is what it is.
Yeah, we're going to have to tighten some belts again.
Isn't it? Which wasn't MY plan...
..at this stage in my life.
I'm not trying to burst your bubble, I'm just saying this is real.
With Sheldon and Shelly Ann both feeling deflated by their
calculations, which way will this vote go?
-Australia...
With a little bit of doubt.
I know it's not going to be easy, but together we can.
That's a nice come back from you saying I'm toxic to your dreams.
One of the biggest issues for the Fearons is leaving Shelly Ann's
five brothers and a huge social group behind.
So how will the family feel once they've watched messages from their
loved ones back home?
Greetings to my family, Shelly, Sheldon, Shellomi and Shelletha.
Can they see you, Mum?
Let's hope you're enjoying your stay in Australia.
-Hi, guys.
-Miss you loads.
Shelly Ann is a strong, vibrant, outspoken woman.
We love her to bits, but sometimes she's very annoying.
She can defend herself and she defends her brothers.
Sheldon is a brother that anybody would be happy to have.
He's a dream brother, you know what I mean? He's easy going.
He's always there when I need him.
He's more like a brother than actually a brother-in-law, if you
-understand what I mean.
-Shellomi is like mum.
Very bubbly, very cheeky.
Shelletha is just like her dad...
Very calm. Very respectful, very lovely.
A couple of years ago, he was saying to me that he was thinking of
moving to Australia.
I thought he was having a laugh. I said, "OK, move to Australia."
-I kind of accepted it very quickly anyway.
-No, you didn't.
Better environment for your family to grow.
It's always good.
I think that they should, you know, try to do it, even if it means that
my heart is going to be broken.
We've always had a strong bond and so, yeah,
this is a challenge for all of us.
-It is. It will be a tough one.
-So, yeah.
-It'll be a tough one.
-And people don't realise how much somebody's,
somebody means to you until they're not actually there, so I don't think
they actually realise at this stage how much they're going to be missed,
but I know they're going to be missed.
She made a promise to our dad that she will look after us.
Even though I'm a big man now.
Because she made that promise to our dad...
She still holds to it, up to this day, she still does.
22 years later, she's still holding.
They're big men now.
They'll miss her, but they're big men.
But I still...need my food every Sunday.
I've been thinking about that. It's a big move.
It's your decision, if you want to stay there, but let's hope you think
about it quite well before you make that decision.
It's going to hurt like hell, but if it makes you happy,
if it makes the family happy, then we'll support you 100%.
Just pray and I trust that God will just make the way, you know,
and the decision that you want to make, that it will be the right
decision that you're making and everything will be well.
Do what makes you happy and I'll be happy.
I really want what's best for you and I know that, whatever choice you
make, it will be for the betterment of yourself and your family.
So, go for it. Good luck. And whatever your decision is,
you've got my blessings.
I mean, sometimes we don't say to each other that we love,
I love you or you mean a lot to me, but when you're not there...
..looking at this now, it really makes you appreciate your family
and your friends, you know?
She doesn't want to answer.
It's not easy to just walk away and start over again.
It's not easy.
So, do we have to?
At the start of the week, the Fearon family were split between
Dad Sheldon's view of where their future lay and mum Shelly Ann's.
The question now, has Perth done enough to get them both singing from
the same hymn sheet?
It's time for the final vote.
I think that's far enough, Mr Man.
Has Sheldon been convinced a move is right for the family or has he been
barking up the wrong tree?
There's a future for us in Australia.
We can achieve what we really want if we put our heart to it.
With God, all things are possible
and I firmly believe that we can make it here.
However, Shelly Ann is still torn.
I'm not shy from having a change, but do I need this change?
That's the definitive question.
In particular, she's struggling with the promise she made to her daddy.
I can't go to Daddy and say, "Daddy, what's your opinion?"
He's no longer there.
I was left with a charge and...
..I made a promise...
..and now, in my mind-set, I'm breaking it.
How I'm going to cope with that, I know it not.
And what do the girls think about a move to Oz?
I think Australia is better than England.
The weather is better, definitely,
and there is like more things to do around here.
I don't want to leave my family,
but I want to live in Australia.
I think my mum, I don't know if she wants to come.
Sheldon is well aware that Shelly Ann is yet to be totally persuaded.
I don't know if she has made up her mind,
so I'm really wondering what she's thinking.
It's crunch time.
I've not yet made my mind up.
I'm all over the shop.
But hopefully, when it comes down to it...
..with the help of God, I will make the right decision.
And now it's time for the final vote.
After everything that we've seen in Australia, our vote goes to...
Whoohoo!
MUSIC PLAYS
-ALL:
-Yay!
Go on, then.
Wow, baby.
Are you happy, Mum?
-You're welcome.
-Mummy, are you happy?
I'm overjoyed that you've actually decided to vote for Australia
and give it a fair chance.
-We'll make it.
-By the Grace of God.
You're a fantastic husband, a brilliant dad.
You always look out for the family.
You've never made me cry.
You're the love of my life, so you worth taking this chance on.
You know what I mean? What's up with you?
-You're more than welcome. Any time, babes.
SHE SINGS
# We do it again for you
# You'll do it again... #
# Hasn't he always come true for you? #
Well, who could have seen that result coming?
Certainly not me.
But in the end, Shelly Ann proved that the lady was for turning.
We wish this wonderful family all the very best of luck in the future
and we'll be following their next move closely.

What Really Happened To James Dean's 'Cursed' Porsche
The headline on the TMZ website was bizarre enough to inspire a 'you've-gotta-be-kid-ding-me' double take: "James Dean 'Cursed' Transaxle Sells for $400K." But the story behind the sale during on online Bring a Trailer auction last month is even weirder.
More than half a century after his death in 1955 at the age of 24, Dean remains a subject of inexhaustible fascination. Film fans know that he was already an incandescent superstar even though he'd made only three movies – Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden and Giant – before being killed in a car crash. Gearheads focus on the fact that Dean was a gung-ho club racer who died while driving a factory-fresh Porsche 550 Spyder en route to competing in a sports car race.
"George Barris tirelessly promoted the notion Dean's 550 was cursed"
But the major reason the incident has developed a cult following – and why the transaxle sold for such an outrageous sum – is that the late George Barris, the King of the Kustomizers, tirelessly promoted the fanciful notion that Dean's 550 was cursed.
"There was something strange about that particular car … a feeling, bad vibrations, an aura," Barris wrote in his memoir. "Everything that car has touched has turned to tragedy." Cue spooky music.
Dean won his first-ever race, for novices, at Palm Springs in a Porsche 356 Super Speedster he drove to the track in March 1955, and he finished second the next day in the main. Five weeks later, he was third overall and first in class at Bakersfield. Later that month, he DNFed at Santa Barbara with a blown engine. Still, it seemed like a promising start for an aspiring racer.
Not so, says Lee Raskin, the author of the definitive book, James Dean On the Road to Salinas. "James Dean grew up as a bit of a daredevil; he wasn't afraid of anything," Raskin says. "Was he a great driver? No. First, he was seriously myopic, which may help explain why he had metal-to-metal contact in every race he was in. Second, I think he was all accelerator, no brake."
Like just about every racer on the planet, Dean was convinced that he needed a faster car. So he traded the Speedster and $3,800 in cash for a brand-new 550 Spyder, the four-cam rocket ship that would propel Porsche to small-bore supremacy, and hired pinstriper extraordinaire Dean Jeffries to paint the sobriquet "Little Bastard" on the rear decklid.
When he finished filming Giant, Dean entered a road race in Salinas, a minor-league affair about 300 miles north of L.A. Although Dean had exercised the 550 on Mulholland Boulevard, wrinkling the aluminum bodywork by sideswiping a garbage can, Porsche factory mechanic Rolf Wütherich suggested that they drive the car to Salinas break in the notoriously finicky roller-bearing Type 547 engine. Dean's friend Bill Hickman, who would later achieve footnote celebrity as a stunt driver in Bullitt and The French Connection, trailed behind them in a station wagon towing an open trailer.
On the drive north, Dean collected a speeding ticket from a California Highway patrolman. Later, at a café along the route, he ran into fellow Southern California racer Lance Reventlow, the trust-fund baby who would later build the Scarab race cars. Before leaving, Dean told Reventlow's companion, Bruce Kessler, another SoCal racer, that he'd gotten the Porsche up to 120 mph. Less than an hour later, near the no-stoplight town of Cholame, the Spyder crashed almost head-on into a sedately driven Ford sedan as it left turned across traffic.
Dean almost certainly died from the impact. Wütherich, who was ejected from the cockpit, suffered grievous injuries. Photos shot at the scene show that the Porsche was mangled almost beyond recognition. Yet before long, Barris was displaying a somewhat more tastefully damaged Spyder at car shows with a placard identifying it as "James Dean's Last Sports Car."
"Raskin theorizes that Barris's car 'was cobbled together with sheets of aluminum'"
Barris claimed that he'd bought the car from Dean's family. When it was being unloaded in his shop, he said, it fell on a mechanic and broke both his legs. Barris subsequently sold the engine to Dr. Troy McHenry, who was killed when he hit a tree while racing a car supposedly fitted with the deadly motor. (Barris said that another doctor using a transaxle salvaged from the Spyder was paralyzed in a racing accident.) After Barris reworked the car to display at safety demonstrations, he claimed it fell off a stand and broke a teenager's hip. A few weeks after that, while being transported, the car allegedly fell off the trailer and killed the truck driver. There were also tales about a thief who broke his arm while trying to steal the steering wheel and another mechanic who broke another leg when a door fell off the car.
Barris, it should be said, was a consummate showman and shameless promoter. Raskin is convinced that most of his stories were fabrications, and several are demonstrably false. Raskin says the wrecked carcass of the 550 was bought not by Barris but by local physician (and club racer) William Eschrich, who salvaged what he could and trashed the chassis. (Raskin believes Eschrich's son still owns the original engine.)
Although the front boot and rear desk lid appeared to be original, Raskin theorizes that Barris's car "was cobbled together with sheets of aluminum," and then pummeled with 2x4s to make it look like it had been in an accident.
The original transaxle made it way through several hands before being bought three decades ago by Jack Styles, the longtime parts manager at the Paul Russell's renowned restoration shop. Last year, Styles sold the unit to Porsche broker/collector Don Ahearn, who offered it on BaT. The listing generated a firestorm of 1,345 comments and bidding that topped out at a disappointing (!) $382,000. But the identity of the buyer turned out to be an even bigger surprise.
Winning bidder Zak Bagans describes himself as "a pioneer in the paranormal field." He owns the Haunted Museum in Las Vegas, where one of his prize exhibits is Dr. Jack Kervorkian's so-called 'death van'. The "cursed" transaxle ought to fit right in.
"It's going to a freak show," Raskin says. "George Barris must be dancing in his grave."

Statistics show that about one in five Australians is affected by a temporary or permanent disability. This could be intellectual, physical, sensory, brain injury or psychiatric.
Anybody can be affected at any time – including your existing employees.
We would like to introduce you to "The Include Program" which has been developed by three experienced professionals to provide a practical, tailored solution to address the challenges of managing a fully inclusive workplace.
Undertake studies into disability related services and programs (e.g. NDIS opportunities) that can be accessed by your organisation.
Potential expansion of client base through increased organisational disability competence creating access to services and products by people with disability.
Although our particular focus is on disability services, the program can effectively be provided across any marker of disadvantage (e.g. cultural, age).

Today Alex Hill taught NetLogo. He explained how it was a program that visually displays a model of a scenario. He then explained each character that was created in NetLogo is called a turtle, and how the students had to learn how to command them using NetLogo code if they wanted to manipulate them. After teaching the students basic commands such as move, random, and set, Alex explained how the class would create a sick-infected-recovered model. The model they were going to create was based on the swine flu.
Alex coded and explained each segment of the code. He explained the use of procedures, and if statements. Since procedures were required to be in closed brackets, at first many of the students had trouble with the concept. Alex and other staff/interns went through the room to clear any questions. In the end, the class let the students become more familiar with coding languages using a fun modeling program.


Honda Powersports lives to produce high-quality products at affordable prices – a motto that they have backed ever since they went into business over 50 years ago. Regardless of if it's an automobile (like the Accord or Civic) or an MX bike (like the CRF450), Honda Powersports makes quality and performance the utmost priority. It's due to this attention to quality that they are world-renowned as one of the most successful and prestigious automotive providers in the world.
In October 1946, Soichiro Honda established the Honda Technical Research Institute in Hamamatsu, Japan, to develop and produce 2-cycle motorbike engines. The company was met with several difficulties early in its career, but it persevered, and by 1959 it had grown large enough to warrant a storefront in Los Angeles. The store had six total employees.
By 1964, Honda Powersports was the world's largest manufacturer of motorcycles. Their reputation and profits continued to grow with the introduction of their first car around the same time. Over the next several decades, Honda Powersports would establish itself as a provider of quality vehicles and power engines at affordable prices.
Today, Honda Powersports still holds that reputation and continues to produce award-winning cars, SUVs, motorcycles, and power sports equipment. Also, they continue to place innovation, safety, and the environment at the forefront of their operation.
The Honda motorcycles line, from street bikes to dirt bikes, are built with the same high-quality craftsmanship that put Honda Powersports on the map when it was making simple 2-stroke motorbike engines. As a result, these motorcycles are always at the top of the list in the categories of reliability, low maintenance, and quality build.
One of the greatest and most popular facets of Honda's motorcycles (and one of the largest contributing factors to their success) is the company's ability to offer top quality bikes at very affordable prices. One common comparison between motorcycle enthusiasts is the price-to-quality ratio between different bike manufacturers. In those comparisons, Honda bikes are almost always at the top of the list, which makes its bikes a great choice for budget-minded riders.
The list of Honda's past and current recognition is near limitless and includes several "most popular," "safest," "best resale value," and similarly titled awards for Honda's line of automobiles. But, for the sake of this profile, we'll focus on this growing list of recent motorcycle awards.
CRF450X – winner of more Baja races than all other recent 450-class machines combined.
The public considers Honda motorcycles to be some of the best entry bikes for any aspiring motocross enthusiast. Bike enthusiasts around the world are continually praising the quality build, affordable price, and reliable performance of these bikes. There's a good reason why Honda Powersports is one of the "Big Four Japanese Motorcycle Companies" – because the public admires and trusts the company to deliver a high-quality product.


s part of the continual effort to rid our island's waters of the invasive lionfish, Cozumel's National Marine Park Officials (PNAC) are organizing the 6th Annual Lionfish Tournament scheduled for May 11th. Working in conjunction with municipal authorities, the goal is to collect 300 kilos of edible and delicious lionfish. To accomplish this impressive goal, organizers are seeking over 100 participants. Competitors will be placed in 4-person teams in two categories: professional and amateur.


Cremation, breastfeeding, the feminist movement, an extraordinary look at medication, mans relationship to man, animals, plants, and the entire cosmos, and much that we know and take for granted as given assume an intriguing treatment in this current work.
There has been a multitude of research probing the human situation, many of them taking the holistic approach that 28 Truths to Know Before One Leaves the World at first glance seems to thread. Yet, a page later, one could glimpse the entirely different approach Charles Bayas has taken on this one.
Prepare to be challenged by the views presented here, as perhaps can hardly be seen in other works dissecting the same issues.
Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti on November 13, 1923 from a Christian Catholic family and the third of six children, Charles finished medical school of Port-au-Prince. He spent three years in Haiti to bring healing, comfort, and hope to his fellow Christians. He married Florence Giordani, a visiting nurse who later bore him one son and one daughter, all while in the middle of economic and political instability in the country. He left Haiti with his family for the USA, where he continued to serve and help the community up to the year 1989, at which time he retired from the University of Miami and Jackson Memorial Hospital as family physician. In 2009, Charles lost Florence to cancer and Alzheimer's disease, a tragic event in his life. The loss of his wife and his firm belief in God, however, inspired him to write this book.

Professor: Scores not true measure of school districts
By MIA LIGHT / Published: November 11, 2014
Pennsylvania's newest method of measuring school performance may be an exercise in misdirection, according to an education policy analyst.
The state's new School Performance Profile, which was released last week by the Department of Education, is designed to give the public a comprehensive picture of the academic performance of students in Pennsylvania public schools.
The Performance Profile was developed by state education officials to replace the former Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) report, which was part of No Child Left Behind education standards.
But Ed Fuller, associate professor in the department of education policy studies at Penn State and executive director of the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy Analysis, said the School Performance Profile gives an accurate account of the number of economically disadvantages students in each district, but it does not provide an accurate measure of school effectiveness.
"As such, I conclude the scores are misleading to the public and to policy makers," Fuller wrote in an email to the Standard-Speaker explaining his research and conclusions.
The School Performance Profile is also designed to be used as a tool to evaluate teachers and principals, and to ensure that the number of low-income families in the district are accurately counted so districts receive their full entitlement of federal Title I funding.
Title I is a federal grant program that provides financial assistance to public school districts in high poverty areas.
Fuller said he focused his analysis of the School Performance Profile on the type of data the state Department of Education uses to calculate a school's score in comparison to what the department is attempting to measure. Fuller said he put a specific focus on whether the resulting score is an accurate picture of teacher effectiveness and student achievement.
"The analysis strongly suggest that the (School Performance Profile) scores are strongly associated with student and school characteristics (but) are inaccurate measures of school effectiveness," Fuller said.
The School Performance Profile scores should not be used to make judgments about school effectiveness unless the scores from one school are compared only to the scores from schools with similar student and school characteristics, Fuller said.
To capture a true picture of school effectiveness, Fuller said the scores should be adjusted to reflect conditions that are outside the school's control, such as the percentage of: economically disadvantaged students, non-English speakers, minority students, level of parental education, per-pupil expenditures, school size and geographic location.
But such adjustments are prohibited by the federal Department of Education.
Perhaps the greatest failure of the School Performance Profile, Fuller said, is its inability to actually capture the true effectiveness of schools.
Fuller is not alone in his opinion.
"Quite frankly, I've been saying that for years," Hazleton Area district Superintendent Francis X. Antonelli said.
The latest performance profile put Hazleton Area High School's academic performance score at 56.9 while the Dept. of Education says 70 is an acceptable score.
According to Antonelli, when categories outside the district's control, such as poverty, parental education and English language abilities, are factored out, performance scores jump 20 percentage points.
"That does not mean we factor out those students. They need us and we are here to serve them," Antonelli said. "But if you are going to compare schools in Luzerne and Lackawanna counties, to be an accurate comparison, you would have to look at schools with similar demographic characteristics," he said.
According to Fuller, the School Performance Profile does not provide an accurate portrayal of the effectiveness of schools, principals or teachers.
"Indeed, the scores are strongly correlated with factors outside the control of educators. Thus, as currently calculated, School Performance Profile scores should not be used as an indication of either school effectiveness or as a component of educator evaluations," Fuller said.
Because Performance Profile scores are strongly correlated to students demographics, Fuller said the scores will identify educators in high poverty students as less effective than they really are, and educators in districts with little poverty as more effective than in actuality.
Fuller's report includes recommendations to improve use of Performance Profile scores as a measure of school effectiveness, such as creating an on-line tool that identifies comparison schools, and collaborative work to construct a more accurate system.

PRAGUE >> A Czech zoo says a 34-year-old northern white rhinoceros has died in Kenya, further reducing the world's dwindling population of the critically endangered animal.
Suni was born at the zoo in Dvur Kralove in June 1980. The zoo says Suni was found dead Friday in the Ol Pejeta animal sanctuary. The cause of death wasn't immediately clear, but the zoo ruled out he was killed by poachers.
He was one of the four northern white rhinos that the Czech zoo moved to Africa in December 2009 in an attempt to save the species from extinction. The zoo hoped it could be easier for them to breed there than in captivity.
The zoo said Saturday that Suni was one of seven northern white rhinos left.

HOUSTON – (Oct. 11, 2018) – Houston's job centers need to be better connected to the regional transportation network, according to a new report from Rice University's Kinder Institute for Urban Research.
"Accessing Opportunity: Employment and Commuting Patterns Among Low, Medium and High-Wage Workers in Houston" explores how workers get around in an urban setting. Specifically, the report used data from the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) program and the American Community Survey to examine travel patterns between home and work in Harris County.
Kinder Institute researchers Jie Wu, Mingming Zhang and Grant Patterson and Kinder Fellow Yujie Hu authored the report. In addition to a countywide analysis, they conducted case studies that showed commuting patterns for different wage groups vary.
The three Houston job centers the report focuses on are downtown, the Texas Medical Center (TMC) and Uptown (including the Galleria). Of nearly 3 million non-farming jobs in the metropolitan area, 79 percent are concentrated in Harris County, according to the report. Approximately 2 million workers commute from somewhere within the region to Harris County every day; about half are high-wage workers (earning more than $40,000 annually), 30 percent are medium-wage workers ($15,000-$40,000 annually) and 19 percent are low-wage workers ($15,000 or less annually).
In Harris County, about 47 percent of household income is spent on housing and transportation costs. When those burdens are considered, Houston is not very affordable compared to other cities, Wu said.
The typical commute for residents in the Greater Houston area is 12.2 miles. On average, low-wage workers in Harris County travel 12.3 miles to downtown for work and 13.4 miles to the TMC or Uptown. The average commute for medium-wage earners in downtown, TMC or Uptown is 13 miles, 12.1 miles and 13 miles, respectively. For high-wage earners, the average commute distance is 14.4 miles to downtown, 12.5 miles to TMC and 12.4 miles to Uptown, the report read.
The researchers hope the report will shed light on the need for the regional transportation network to be better connected to Houston's job centers.
The report is available online at https://bit.ly/2EcmThe. In addition, the researchers created a web-based data tool to illustrate the dynamics between residences and employment centers. It is available online at http://www.datahouston.org/story/Commuting.html.

Galindo Garcés (zm. 844) – hrabia Aragonii od 833 r. do śmierci, syn oraz sukcesor Garcii I Galindeza z Pampeluny (hrabiego Aragonii w latach 820-833). Był wnukiem Galindo Belascotenesa i prawnukiem Belasco, hrabiego Pampeluny w latach 799-812.

Nie zostawił po sobie potomków, więc hrabstwo przeszło na jego kuzyna, Galinda I Aznáreza, który wcześniej był hrabią Urgell i Cerdanyi (830-833) oraz Pallars i Ribagorzy (833-834).

Healthcare systems and diversity. The objective of Essay 1 is to analyze how Health Care Systems (HCS) work in two different countries or regions and whether these differences are amplified by the diversity of people in these areas.
The objective of Essay 1 is to analyze how Health Care Systems (HCS) work in two different countries or regions and whether these differences are amplified by the diversity of people in these areas.
If you are an international student or a permanent resident or the United States, you will analyze how the HCS in your country of origin compares to the HCS in the US. (Country chosen:Bolivia)
Compare and contrast the HCS in your country of origin with the HCS in the US. What aspects of these two HCS are similar and what aspects are different?
Evaluate how the diversity in each country affects the interactions of people with the HCS in each one of the two countries. Do you think the experience of people from diverse backgrounds interacting with the HCS in each country is different based on their background?
Determine what areas of the HCS work well in each country and what areas of the HCS do not satisfy the needs of the population. Are these areas the same in both countries or are they different?
Propose improvements to the HCS areas that currently do not satisfy the needs of the population in each country. Could a solution suggested for improving the HCS in one country be implemented and work well in the other country? Could the diversity of population in the two countries affect the implementation of the proposed solutions?

Q: How to handle Twitter authentication? I'm trying to integrate a functionality in a webapp, where a user clicks a button to tweet how awesome the webapp is. (I know, I know, stupid, but hey, the boss wants it)
I set up the route below using Thujohn's Twitter for Laravel 4 - https://github.com/thujohn/twitter-l4
Route::get('/twitter/callback', function() {
    // You should set this route on your Twitter Application settings as the callback
    // https://apps.twitter.com/app/YOUR-APP-ID/settings
    if(Session::has('oauth_request_token')) {
        $request_token = array(
            'token' => Session::get('oauth_request_token'),
            'secret' => Session::get('oauth_request_token_secret'),
        );

        Twitter::set_new_config($request_token);

        $oauth_verifier = FALSE;
        if(Input::has('oauth_verifier')) {
            $oauth_verifier = Input::get('oauth_verifier');
        }

        // getAccessToken() will reset the token for you
        $token = Twitter::getAccessToken( $oauth_verifier );
        if( !isset( $token['oauth_token_secret'] ) ) {
            return Redirect::to('/')->with('flash_error', 'We could not log you in on Twitter.');
        }

        $credentials = Twitter::query('account/verify_credentials');
        if( is_object( $credentials ) && !isset( $credentials->error ) ) {
            // $credentials contains the Twitter user object with all the info about the user.
            // Add here your own user logic, store profiles, create new users on your tables...you name it!
            // Typically you'll want to store at least, user id, name and access tokens
            // if you want to be able to call the API on behalf of your users.

            // This is also the moment to log in your users if you're using Laravel's Auth class
            // Auth::login($user) should do the trick.

            var_dump($credentials);

            //return Redirect::to('/')->with('flash_notice', "Congrats! You've successfully signed in!");
        }
        return Redirect::to('/')->with('flash_error', 'Crab! Something went wrong while signing you up!');
    }
});

However, I don't really know what I should do in this part:
// $credentials contains the Twitter user object with all the info about the user.
// Add here your own user logic, store profiles, create new users on your tables...you name it!
// Typically you'll want to store at least, user id, name and access tokens
// if you want to be able to call the API on behalf of your users.

// This is also the moment to log in your users if you're using Laravel's Auth class
// Auth::login($user) should do the trick.

What do I need to do to make sure a user doesn't need to authenticate himself every time?

A: If you inspect the $credentials object, you should see oauth access tokens. Save these along with your user data (username, email, name, etc) in your database, and you can use them next time you make a call to the twitter API.

"America is only about two minutes old," he continued. "Part of growing up is understanding that we are complicated. Improvements mean asking questions."
As a means of helping us get well, Farley has brought a group of nationally and internationally renowned law professors and activists with expertise in racial and sexual profiling, the school to prison pipeline, the incarceration of parents, and the drug war to the UK campus for the 2014 Lassiter Conference.
Titled "Freedom from Fear: On Black Childhood and Other Dangers," the one-day conference is meant to stimulate conversation, Farley said.
"I took my theme from FDR (President Franklin Delano Roosevelt)," he said. "We think of him as having saved the country."
In 1941, FDR said democracy is built on four essential freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. If we want a decent society, Farley said, those freedoms are essential.
Unfortunately, America prosecutes juveniles as adults and then puts them in adult confinement where many are used for sexual slavery, he said.
"We make jokes about it. It's not funny. It is sick."
We have a war on drugs that snags black and brown people even though drug use and distribution does not vary by race. "What varies is the enforcement practices," said Farley, who is a former prosecutor. "I did see close-up that we were damaging the community with our efforts."
Our schools are also failing black children, who too often attend low-achieving schools or are taught by teachers with low expectations.
"It is not difficult to have proper schools," he said. "It is difficult to change expectations."
No one, he said, approaches the student in "ghetto" schools saying you can't teach them basketball. No one says because they come from single-parent households or have bad shoes or are on free or reduced-price lunch programs that they can't play basketball and play it well. In fact, he said, they expect more from those students than from students who are better off and living comfortably.
"We need very, very little to successfully teach children," he said. "I think that more than any other group, (black parents) put a high value on education."
Parents, community groups and churches need to put more emphasis on reading, he said. "We have institutions that we control and lots of volunteers," Farley said. "If the grown-ups are there and can read, there is no reason not to teach others to read both secular and non-secular material."
Our children are suffering, and we should be doing better by them.
"Black childhood is in danger," he said. "What is freedom of speech without the right to an education? What is freedom of worship amidst nihilistic erasures of black childhood? What is freedom from want when most of black childhood is lived below the poverty line? What is freedom from fear when black childhood is itself feared?"
"We are scared of black children," he said. "How we treat children is incredibly important. There are ways in which we intentionally hurt ourselves by hurting other people."
But it doesn't have to be that way. Black children shouldn't be the most despised and feared. They should have the freedom to be children.
It is up to us adults to see that that happens.

Apple iPhone Will Have Unlimited Data Plan from Sprint
Source: iPhone 4S/ Apple
Although there is no concrete news about Apple's next-generation iPhone, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse confirmed last Wednesday that they will be offering an unlimited 4G LTE data plan once the Cupertino-based company decided to launch such device. He considers this idea as a "marriage made in heaven," and it is aimed to compete against other networks that offer the handset.
"I'm not anticipating the unlimited plan would change by that point. That's our distinctive differentiator. We're clearly attracting customers from our competitors."
Hesse's statement came after Sprint's first quarter earnings revealed a loss of $863 million, as 192,000 subscribers left the network. Meanwhile, the consumer exodus can be attributed to Nextel network's shutdown.
Despite that, the telecom sold 1.5 million iPhones, 44 percent of which were to new customers. This accounted for almost 60 percent new network subscribers in the past three months, which brings a total of 56 million consumers.
Sprint and Apple's 4G LTE Deal
Last March, it was revealed by Sprint CFO Joe Euteneuer that the telecom's existing contract with Apple gives them an exclusive right to sell a 4G-enable iPhone in the future. Although they are yet to roll out their LTE markets, the company is planning to cover 100 million Americans once they light up their towers by mid-2012. However, Euteneuer didn't say whether the iPhone maker will launch a handset with LTE connectivity this year.
On the other hand, Apple recently rolled out its first 4G device, the new iPad. While it is compatible with AT&T and Verizon's LTE networks, Sprint was left out of the mix. But it doesn't come as a surprise since the third-largest telecom in the country just recently became the iPhone maker's carrier partner for its iPhone and iPhone 4S.
But it is because of the new iPad's 4G LTE capabilities that many were speculating that the upcoming iPhone will carry the same feature. It should be recalled that Apple was rumored to review potential components for its next-generation handset, including Qualcomm's MDM9615 LTE chip.
Just in time when Apple releases its next-generation iPhone this fall, Sprint will launch its 4G network in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and several other small markets later this year. Last year, Sprint signed a $20 billion worth of deal with Apple, agreeing that the telecom will sell 30.5 million iPhone units. It was followed by a 10-K filing in February 2011, which revealed that the network company actually spent $15.5 billion on the deal.
