Former President George H.W. Bush leaves hospital

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush was released from a Houston hospital on Monday after more than seven weeks of treatment for bronchitis and related ailments, according to a statement issued by a family spokesman.

"Mr. Bush has improved to the point that he will not need any special medication when he goes home, but he will continue physical therapy," Dr. Amy Mynderse, the doctor in charge of Bush's care, said in the statement, issued by Bush spokesman Jim McGrath.

Bush said in the statement that he was grateful to the "wonderful" doctors and nurses who took care of him.

"Let me add just how touched we were by the many get-well messages we received from our friends and fellow Americans," the former president said. "Your prayers and good wishes helped more than you know, and as I head home my only concern is that I will not be able to thank each of you for your kind words."

The former president, 88, was admitted to Methodist Hospital on November 23 for bronchitis and then transferred to intensive care in December after coming down with a persistent fever and other complications. He was moved to a regular patient room after his condition improved last month.

Bush, a Republican and the 41st U.S. president, took office in 1989 and served one term in the White House. The father of former President George W. Bush, he also served as a congressman, U.N. ambassador, envoy to China, CIA director and was vice president for two terms under Ronald Reagan.

As president, Bush routed Iraq after former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait in 1990. His public approval ratings soared, but just 20 months later he was defeated in his re-election bid by Democrat Bill Clinton.

Until recently, Bush was known for an active lifestyle. He went skydiving to celebrate his 75th, 80th and 85th birthdays.

He met with former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev late last year in Houston. In March 2012, Bush formally endorsed Republican Mitt Romney for president.

Canada?s gun control system has failed to keep up with a changing arms industry,...

How a changing arms industry is bringing incoherence to Canada's gun control system

www.globalnews.ca

Critics say that the system, based in part on restricting and prohibiting specific firearms, hasn't been updated since the 1990s, while the gun industry has been offering more and more exotic and envelope-pushing designs - not only of the guns themselves, but also components like magazines.

UBS Microsoft - Business Insider

Microsoft's Surface is off to a very slow start, in UBS analyst Brent Thill's opinion.

He estimates Microsoft sold just 1 million Surface RT tablets, down from his previous estimate of 2 million.

For some context, Apple is expected to have sold well over 20 million iPads. That's part of the problem. People are choosing iPads over Surfaces, says Thill. He also blames narrow distribution. Microsoft only sold the Surface at its stores last quarter.

He's cautiously optimistic about the Surface line. He thinks the Surface Pro which runs on an Intel chip will be strong with corporations, providing a good iPad alternative.

Overall, Thill says he's cutting estimates for Microsoft's holiday quarter based on bad data points about the holiday quarter:

Cutting FQ2 by $1.1B/$0.08 to $21.3B/$0.76 (Street $21.7B/$0.76) on lower Windows division revs to $5.9B (from $6.7B) on CQ4 PC sales -6.4% per IDC and our revised Surface RT sales e.stimate of 1M units (prior 2M). PCs also hit MBD transactional revs cutting MBD to $5.6B from $5.9B. With PC weakness likely to linger we cut FQ3 to $21.0B/$0.76 from $21.5B/$0.78 (Street $20.9B/$0.78). FY13 est?s cut to $79.6B/$2.80 (revs +8.0%, margins 36.6%) from $80.8B/$2.90.

Youth attitudes about guns: Sixty percent of high school and college students consider gun ownership in future

Jan. 14, 2013 ? Despite growing up in a post-Columbine world, more young people plan on owning a gun than had them in their childhood homes, according to a national poll of more than 4,000 high school and college students conducted by Jennifer L. Lawless (American University) and Richard L. Fox (Loyola Marymount University). This finding suggests a possible reversal of a trend that pointed to decreasing gun ownership.

More specifically, one-third of young people report growing up with a gun in the household. And 36 percent report being "very worried" about gun violence. Yet nearly 40 percent of respondents plan to own a gun when they have their own household, and an additional 20 percent are considering it.

These results are based on a national sample of 2,100 college students (ages 18 through 25) and 2,166 high school students (ages 13 through 17). The poll, conducted by American University / GfK Custom Research LLC, was in the field from September 27 -- October 16, 2012, and has a margin of error of +/- 2.2 percentage points.

Key Findings from the Poll of High School and College Students:

? Personality Traits: Roughly 50% of young people who self-identify as "depressed," "stressed out," and/or have "difficulty making friends" plan to have a gun in their household.

? Video Games: High school students who regularly play video games for more than 4 hours per day are 50 percent more likely than those who do not typically play video games to report plans to own a gun. The results are similar, but less pronounced, among college students.

? Gender Gap: Girls and young women (40%) more likely than their male counterparts (32%) to fear gun violence and less likely to report planning on owning a gun in the future.

? Race Gap: Half of the Black respondents fear gun violence, compared to only 31 percent of White respondents. Blacks are less likely than Whites to report planning on owning a gun in the future.

? Party Gap: Democrats are nearly twice as likely as Republicans to fear gun violence (45% compared to 25%) and less likely to report planning on owning a gun in the future.

Jennifer L. Lawless is an associate professor of Government at American University, where she is also the director of the Women & Politics Institute. She is the author of Becoming a Candidate: Political Ambition and the Decision to Run for Office (2012) and the co-author of It Still Takes A Candidate: Why Women Don't Run for Office (2010). She is also a nationally recognized speaker, and her scholarly analysis and political commentary have been quoted in various newspapers, magazines, television news programs, and radio shows. In 2006, she sought the Democratic nomination for the U.S. House of Representatives in Rhode Island's second district.

Richard L. Fox is a professor of political science at Loyola Marymount University. He is the author of Gender Dynamics in Congressional Elections (1997) and co-author of It Still Takes A Candidate: Why Women Don't Run for Office (2010), Tabloid Justice: The Criminal Justice System in the Age of Media Frenzy (2001). He is also co-editor, with Susan J. Carroll, of Gender and Elections (2010).?

TurboTax SnapTax tops iOS Apps of the Week

We start this week?s best iOS apps with one that is focused on the future. No, not the cool ?flying car? future, but rather April 15th...tax time! TurboTax SnapTax, will make doing taxes easier than ever before. Our other top apps this week include updates to eBay and CNET alongside new apps to add text to photos and check what?s on your TV.

The TurboTaxs SnapTax app has immediate appeal right out of the box. The idea of being able to photograph your W-2 and have the information from that W-2 auto-fill the rest of the tax form is very alluring. Sure, users would still need to double or triple check to make sure all the required information is filled in correctly, but this could be a great way to save time on tax preparation. It should be noted that although the app itself is free, it costs $24.99 to actually file your federal and state taxes via the app. That said, if you?re looking for a unique and quick way to file your taxes, TurboTax SnapTax makes a strong argument for itself.

eBay and the iPhone is an obvious match, as it?s more efficient to sell ?and monitor your goods via phone rather than being tethered to a laptop all day just to find out your old Ninja Turtles action figures aren?t worth that much. The latest eBay update continues to streamline the process for mobile users, creating a new listing flow that lets users list items quicker alongside an improved photo interface so adding pictures to items and viewing photos in other listings has never been easier. Alongside those main features are the usual touch-ups, things like being able to save multiple listing drafts and search enhancements may go unnoticed by some users, but are huge pluses for power users. eBay may be an old dog in the app game, but this update shows it can still learn a few new tricks.

Swipe lets users add a little bit of stylized typography to their photos. Rather than mess with lighting filters all day, Swipe users can add cool text in various colors, fonts and angles to their favorite pictures. Swipe features over 100 fonts that can be edited for size, color, transparency, rotation and alignment. Once the photos have been edited they can then be shared on a number of social networking websites including Facebook, Twitter, Fickr, or Tumblr and e-mail.

As yap.TV Guide nears its fourth full iteration with its 3.9.4 update, fans of the guide app will find plenty of good features. The app has been completely re-designed for iPhone with a special TV Guide screen featuring tappable network logos, so users can see what?s on their favorite channels as far as a week in advance. Yap also features updated category navigation as well as easier channel customization on the app itself.

Excellent tech news source CNET updated their iPhone app, fixing a slew of bugs and adding some much-needed optimization. CNET has been dispensing great reviews of all sorts of tech for years and their app?s large database of text and video reviews reflects that commitment to quality. CNET?s app also has photo galleries and latest news sections to cover a tech fan?s every multimedia need. The latest update to the app also features enhanced video playback on the iPad ?and iPod touch.
