'Path to citizenship' roils immigration reform. But what is it, exactly?
The most contentious issue in immigration reform is probably the potential of a 'path to citizenship.' But the heated rhetoric obscures the fact that both sides have many points of agreement.

It?s the most politically-explosive issue in the ongoing immigration reform debate ? but what is a ?path to citizenship,? anyway?
In short, the question of a pathway to citizenship asks whether the more than 10 million undocumented immigrants in the country can ever become US citizens.
The question today is largely what kind of route the currently undocumented would take to become citizens ? a special path designed specifically for the current illegal population or the regular channels available to other potential immigrants.
Everyone agrees that a final bill won?t have any sort of deportation for the vast majority of the undocumented population. In the past, some hardliners on immigration hoped the federal government would either begin a deportation program or adopt policies making enforcement conditions so unbearable for those in the country illegally that they self-deport (as Mitt Romney put it).
Instead, both conservative and Democratic reformers from Sen. Marco Rubio (R) of Florida to President Obama and Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D) of Illinois believe the first step for immigration reform is putting undocumented people on a pathway to ?legal status? in the US.
Whenever you hear a phrase similar to ?bringing people out of the shadows,? you?re hearing a politician talking about a ?probationary? period where the currently-illegal can work, get drivers licenses and generally live their lives with many of the responsibilities of US citizens but a diminished number of rights.
This isn?t a status conferred for free, however.
Those here illegally would have to hit eligibility criteria like paying a fine and taxes and passing a background check before they would be eligible for such a program. Lawmakers in both houses of Congress have said that those in this status will not be eligible for a slew of federal-benefits programs like welfare or SNAP, formerly known as food stamps. And, of course, they couldn?t vote. ?
Moreover, everybody agrees that the undocumented who qualify for probationary legal status in the US will have to wait at least eight years before they can attempt to change their immigration status.
What happens next is the tricky part.
Republicans are opposed to allowing these people, at the end of their eight-year probation, a special path to obtaining green cards (formally known as becoming a ?legal permanent resident?). The green card is the doorway to citizenship: Green card holders wait five years before applying to become US citizens.
?It would be a travesty in my opinion to treat those who violated our laws to get here much better than those who have patiently waited their turn to come to the United States,? said Rep. Raul Labrador (R) of Idaho, a key GOP immigration negotiator, at a large gathering of conservative political activists in Maryland recently.

Will The Next iPhone Keep Ahead of Android?
If Apple?s regular release schedule is to be trusted, we should expect a new iPhone this summer. Will it be called the iPhone 5S with small improvements over the iPhone 5? Or will the pressure from rival Android phones force Apple to go big and make a complete overhaul?
So far, the rumor mills point to an incremental upgrade ? no revolutionary changes. So let?s read the tealeaves and try to predict what will be changed. And remember, this is all conjecture with no official information forthcoming from Apple.
New Flash and Better Camera
I like to start with the fun stuff, like the camera. Certainly, the next iPhone could get a megapixel upgrade. There are some Android phones that brag 13 Megapixels, and while it?s possible Apple could increase the resolution of their camera, I think a more interesting upgrade would be the inclusion of a new, smart flash that incorporates Phillips multi-color LED. To match ambient light, the camera could elect to use a white flash (in fluorescent or colder lighting) or a yellow flash to match warmer room tones (candlelight, camp-fires, or accent lighting).
Faster
Now for the guts of the new phone: leaked photos published by iOSDoc imply the iPhone will be getting an upgrade from its current dual core A6 processor to a quad core A7 processor. Yes, more cores mean a faster phone, but is this a life-changing speed improvement? Um, no.
Bigger Screen is Doubtful
There have been tons of rumors about Apple increasing the screen size from 4 inches to 4.8 inches to compete with some of the Android ?Phablets? like the Note. But this rumor seems a little thin with CEO Tim Cook stating publically on Apple?s Q1 2013 Earnings Call that he thinks Apple made the right decision to stick with a smaller screen.
Wireless Charging
Unlike current wireless charging where you have to put a device onto a pad that?s plugged into a power source, Apple has applied for a patent to use something called Near Field Magnetic Resonance (NFMR). With this technology, a home base (a computer or larger device) serves as a hub that can charge the phone anywhere within a meter?s proximity. This could also be a boon for selling more Mac laptops if they become the primary vehicle for wireless NFMR charging.
Biometric Fingerprint Security
Rumors are flying about a fingerprint sensor on the home key to allow for biometric security. This could be a smart idea if Apple wants to shore up public perception of the device?s security before rolling out the Nea
IOS 7
For the first time ever, I am including an IOS update in the ?Fun Rumors? category. While the iPhone operating system (currently IOS 6) is not usually an opportunity for big innovation, this portion of the company has recently been taken over by Jonathon Ive, Apple?s superstar design guru. He is no doubt feeling pressure to bring his genius to bear on software (good luck with that) and may surprise us with a few cool new tricks. I expect a Siri upgrade at the very least, and a determination to show that Apple?s maps have recovered from the debacle of the IOS 6 roll out.
Lower Cost iPhone
Where Android phones pose the greatest clear and present danger to the iPhone is on price. Many models are free with a 2-year contract. So the $199 price tag of the iPhone with a 2-year contract is just too steep for many. The biggest price pressure is coming from emerging markets like China and Brazil, where Apple has to lower the price of their only phone in the initial land grab for new smartphone users.
[Related: Do Apple Products Ever Go On Sale?]
If Apple introduces a free-on-2-year-contract phone, this lower cost version will almost certainly still be able to access faster LTE data networks. It will possibly have a slower Snapdragon System on a Chip (SOC) processor from Qualcomm. It might include a bigger battery, which could increase the phone?s thickness from the current 7.6 mm to a rumored 8.2 mm. It could have a lower resolution camera. And the most interesting possibility: its case could be from a cheaper plastic or fiberglass, which could allow for a multitude of colors.
Bottom Line
The inclusion of a cheaper iPhone could be a huge boon to consumers. If you?ve been holding out until Apple?s flagship device became more affordable, don?t let the slightly diminished technical specs deter you. The beauty of the iPhone is that it?s intuitive and fun to use ? but that?s a function of the operating system, not the hardware. If it were me, I?d wait to buy until the consumer testers run the cheaper iPhone through it?s paces and make sure there?s nothing glaringly wrong, and then I?d get it. That is, if Apple actually releases two versions as part of its traditional June release cycle.

Kim Kardashian Pregnancy Cravings ? Fro Yo Addiction Could ...
Halfway through her pregnancy, Kim has reportedly been giving in to her intense cravings ? and can?t get enough frozen yogurt and other sweets! But a fitness expert revealed to HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY why it could be dangerous.
Kim Kardashian has been spotted entering and leaving the gym so much, but she?s reportedly working out so hard not only to keep the baby weight at bay, but also combat her pregnancy cravings! She reportedly has intense hankerings for sugar ? but it can be dangerous for her pregnancy health.
?Her biggest fallback is Pinkberry ? she goes there every day,? a source close to Kim told?Star?magazine. ?She thinks it?s healthy, but it?s full of sugar!? The source also added she?s having a hard time combatting the cravings.
?Her nighttime cravings are the worst. She?s been waking up in the middle of the night and binge eating,? the source added to?Star.
Kim?s Sugary Pregnancy Cravings ? Why They Are Dangerous
But even if pregnancy is a time to let loose, and let yourself enjoy your favorite foods, it should still be done with moderation ? otherwise, the results could be threatening.
?I recommend eating plenty of healthy, real food to nourish both mom and baby. Skip the junk, especially sweets and sugary drinks,? Leah Keller, personal trainer and expert in pre- and postnatal fitness, tells HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
?These increase the risk of gestational diabetes and do not offer any nutritional value to the growing baby.?
Leah also recommends that Kim should still exercise most days, but keep the intensity level very moderate. Exerting too much effort could be harmful for mom and baby.
?The most important consideration is to adequately nourish both mom and baby while maintaining a healthy and safe activity level,? she adds.

Rovio adds TV channel to its games, launches Angry Birds Toons on March 17th
If Rovio wants to rival Disney, it's going to need to broaden its distribution network, right? It turns out that the company is going the opposite way, bundling a video channel inside its apps to showcase its first TV show; Angry Birds Toons -- a 52-episode series chronicling the never-ending fight against those egg-thieving pigs. In addition to phones and tablets, the show will be available on Xfinity and Samsung Smart TVs, with Roku and TV stations outside of the US to follow in short order. Of course, we're not too sure Disney's worried -- after all, it's spent $4.05 billion to get the real Mark Hamill, not Red Bird in a blonde wig.
