Mexico Candidate Wounded in Third Attack on Politicians

Gunmen attacked a woman running for the Oaxaca state legislature on Saturday, wounding her while killing her husband and an assistant in the third shooting against politicians this week ahead of Mexican local elections.

Rosalia Palma, a member of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), was traveling on a highway in a sport-utility vehicle when assailants fired 35 times with R-15 assault rifles and 9mm handguns, state police said.

Palma was seriously wounded while her husband, Efrain Cruz Bruno, and assistant, Talia Cruz Ibanez, died in the attack in the southern state. The candidate, running in a coalition with the Green Party, was taken to a hospital in the state capital.

The attack came two days after the leader of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party (PRD) in Oaxaca was found dead with three gunshot wounds to the head in the municipality of Tuxtepec.

Elsewhere, two politicians dropped out of the elections in the northwestern state of Sinaloa after another candidate was assassinated in the region plagued by drug violence.

Esteban Lopez Beltran and Saul Rubio were respectively running for mayor and local legislator in the municipality of Sinaloa as part of the July 7 elections taking place in 14 Mexican states.

They had been campaigning under the "Together You Win" coalition grouping the PRD, the fellow leftist Workers Party (PT) and the conservative National Action Party (PAN).

But Eleazar Armenta, campaign coordinator and city council candidate in the town of Sinaloa, was shot dead last Sunday.

"The outlook generated by the violence in this municipality is tough, which is why we decided to suspend campaign activities and warn the (PAN's) national and state leadership about the situation," local party official Yudit del Rincon told Agence France Presse.

The PRI has also toned down its campaigning in Sinaloa after Armenta's murder.

Mexico has endured a relentless wave of drug violence that left some 70,000 people dead between 2006-2012, when Felipe Calderon held the presidency. Dozens of local politicians were killed during that period.

Nearly 5,300 people have been killed in murders related to organized crime since President Enrique Pena Nieto took office in December, according to official figures.

Ken Duke wins Travelers Championship in playoff

CROMWELL, Conn. (AP) ? Journeyman Ken Duke made a 2? foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole Sunday to beat Chris Stroud at the Travelers Championship to win his first ever PGA Tour event.

Stroud had chipped in from 51 feet on the 18th hole to force the playoff.

But the 44-year-old Duke made the better approach shot on the second extra hole, bouncing his ball in front of the flag and rolling it close.

Duke wouldn't have been there at all had luck not intervened on the 10th hole, when his ball ricocheted off a tree and onto the green to about 5 feet from the pin, allowing him to make birdie.

Canadian Graham DeLaet finished a stroke back in third place. Bubba Watson finished fourth, two-shots behind, after making a six on the par-3 16th hole.

How to save battery life on your iPhone and iPad by tweaking Notification Center settings

iPhone and iPad battery life is a precious commodity we just can't seem to get enough of. All of our social networks, email accounts, texts, and other apps want to send us notifications, which in turn, consumes more battery life. Sometimes tweaking settings in Notification Center can actually save quite a bit of battery life.

Here's what we recommend trying:

1. Launch the Settings app from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap on Notifications.
3. FInd an app that frequently sends you notifications and tap on its name.
4. Scroll down towards the bottom and you'll see an option for View in Lock Screen.
5. Turn this option to Off for any apps that aren't important to be displayed on your Lock Screen.

By doing this, you'll still receive push notifications and you'll hear the tones, your screen just will not light up and they won't filter into your actual Lock Screen area. Upon unlocking your iPhone or iPad, checking Notification Center will still show them, they just won't appear in the Lock Screen portion. Basically, your screen doesn't light up every time you receive a notification from these apps any longer when the View on Lock Screen option is turned off. Less screen use equals better battery life. By doing this myself, I gained about an extra 15 to 25% battery life per day.

I've found this to be useful on apps I still want to know I'm receiving notifications for but don't necessarily need them on my Lock Screen such as Twitter and Facebook. I've also only get email notifications set up for VIP when it comes to the Lock Screen.

Try it out and let us know if you're getting better battery life!

Love Your Dog? Dog-Owner Bond Similar to That of Child-Parent ...

By Traci Pedersen Associate News Editor
Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on June 22, 2013

In a new study, published in the journal PLoS ONE, scientists have found that the relationship between dogs and their owners is strikingly similar to the child-parent bond in humans.

According to the Humane Society, 46 percent of households in the United States have at least one dog.? Dogs are so well adapted to living with humans that, in many cases, the owner assumes the role of the dog?s main social partner.

Certain aspects of the deep bond between dogs and their owners turn out to be very similar to that of young children and their parents.

During the study, the researchers found that one particular aspect of the bond between humans and dogs is something called the ?secure base effect.?

This effect is found in parent-child relationships in which babies use their caregivers as a secure base so they can feel safe while interacting with their environment.

Not until recently has the ?secure base effect? been investigated in dog-owner relationships.

Lisa Horn, Ph.D.,?from the Messerli Research Institute at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna, wanted to get a closer look at the behavior of dogs and their owners. She analyzed dogs? reactions under three different conditions: absent owner, silent owner and encouraging owner.

For the study, the dogs were given the opportunity to earn a food reward by manipulating interactive dog toys. The dogs seemed far less interested in working for food, however, when their owners were not there compared to when they were.

Interestingly, whether an owner encouraged the dog during the task or remained silent had little influence on the animal?s level of motivation.

In another experiment, the researchers replaced the owner with an unfamiliar person. The scientists found that the dogs barely interacted with the strangers and were not much more motivated in trying to earn the food reward than when this person was not present.

The dogs were far more motivated only when their owner was present. The scientists believe that the owner?s presence encourages the dog to behave in a confident manner.

The study provides the first evidence for the similarity between the ?secure base effect? found in dog-owner and child-caregiver relationships. This striking connection will be further studied in direct comparative studies on dogs and children.

?One of the things that really surprised us is that adult dogs behave towards their caregivers like human children do. It will be really interesting to try to find out how this behavior evolved in the dogs with direct comparisons,? said Horn.

A Saturday's Work at Gizmodo in Mouse Movement

While you folks are doing your Saturday thing and maybe checking out ol' Giz now and then, somebody's gotta write it. That somebody is me, and this is what it looks like. From a cursor's-eye perspective anyway.

You may have seen these kind of visualzations before; they're the product of an awesome little program called IOGraph that you can download and mess with yourself. You should. It's useless and fun.

IOGraphs are nothing new, but I've been wanting to make one for a Saturday's work for a while, and here it is in all its 8.1 hours of glory. The lines are mouse movement (duh) and the fat circles are cursor stops. The concentric circles?from what I can tell?have nothing to do with clicking though, and are essentially randomized to provide a little bit of dot variation.

As you can see, it's pretty busy, especially up in the Chrome-tab area. And it's peppered with cursor stops from little spasms of writing here and there, and a healthy chunk of j-pressing Google Reader-age. So there you have it, in case you ever wondered. Now go enjoy your Saturday night; you can bet your ass I'll be enjoying mine. Away from the computer.
