NEW YORK (AP) ? Apple is expected to unveil a new version of the iPad at an event in San Francisco next week.
Apple sent out invitations to news media on Tuesday with an image showing part of an iPad screen. The company had been widely expected to reveal the third version of its popular tablet computer soon, close to the anniversary of the launch of the iPad 2.
The event will take place next Wednesday at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater, where Apple holds larger launch events.
Since the first iPad came out in 2010, sales of traditional computers have slowed in the U.S. and other wealthy countries. Rival PC and phone makers have been unable to mirror Apple's success with their own tablet computers. Apple has sold 55 million iPads so far, about the same as the estimated number of Mac computers in use.
Apple Inc. didn't provide any details on the new device. Various unconfirmed reports speak of a sharper screen and faster cellular broadband options.
It's not known when such a new device would be available for sale. Last year, sales of the iPad 2 began in the U.S. nine days after the announcement.

Afghan president renews call for calm
(AP)? KABUL, Afghanistan ? Afghanistan's president has renewed his calls for calm in a televised address to the nation after the burning of Qurans at a U.S. base sparked five days of violent protests.
About 30 people have been killed including four U.S. soldiers since the incident came to light Tuesday. NATO has pulled hundreds of international advisers out of Afghan ministries out of concern that they might become the next targets of anti-foreigner anger.
President Hamid Karzai spoke in a live television broadcast Sunday. Karzai said, "Now is the time to return to calm and not let our enemies use this situation."
He reminded the Afghan people that the Quran burnings are being investigated and asked them to wait for the results of that investigation.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) ? A gunman killed two American military advisers with shots to the back of the head Saturday inside a heavily guarded ministry building, and NATO ordered military workers out of Afghan ministries as protests raged for a fifth day over the burning of copies of the Quran at a U.S. army base.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the Interior Ministry attack, saying it was retaliation for the Quran burnings, after the U.S. servicemen ? a lieutenant colonel and a major ? were found dead on the floor of an office that only people who know a numerical combination can get into, Afghan and Western officials said.
The top commander of U.S. and NATO forces recalled all international military personnel from the ministries, an unprecedented action in the decade-long war that highlights the growing friction between Afghans and their foreign partners at a critical juncture in the war.
The U.S.-led coalition is trying to mentor and strengthen Afghan security forces so they can lead the fight against the Taliban and foreign troops can go home. That mission, however, requires a measure of trust at a time when anti-Western sentiment is at an all-time high.
Afghan Defense Minister Gen. Abdul Rahim Wardak called U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta to apologize for the shooting and offer his condolences, Pentagon press secretary George Little said in a statement released in Washington.
"This act is unacceptable and the United States condemns it in the strongest possible terms," Little said.
Security is tight in the capital, which is covered in snow, and foreigners working at the U.S. Embassy and at international organizations have been banned from leaving their compounds.
U.S. officials said they were searching for the assailant, who has not been identified by name or nationality.
The two American service members were found by another foreigner who went into the room, according to the Afghan official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to disclose details about the shootings. They were shot in the back of the head, according to Western officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose the information. Authorities were poring over security camera video for clues, the Afghan official said.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid identified the shooter as one of their sympathizers, Abdul Rahman. He said an accomplice inside the ministry helped Rahman get inside the compound to kill the Americans in retaliation for the Quran burnings.
"After the attack, Rahman informed us by telephone that he was able to kill four high-ranking American advisers," Mujahid said. The Taliban often inflate death tolls and sometimes claim responsibility for killings they did not conduct.
Little, the Pentagon press secretary, said Wardak indicated that President Hamid Karzai was assembling religious leaders and other senior Afghan officials to take urgent steps to protect coalition forces.
U.S. Gen. John Allen, the top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, met with Afghan Interior Minister Bismullah Khan Mohammadi, who offered both his condolences to the families of the victims and his apologies, Little said.
Afghanistan's interior and defense ministers are expected in Washington next week.
Allen said he recalled all NATO personnel from the ministries "for obvious force protection reasons" but also said the alliance remains committed to its partnership with the Afghan government. NATO forces have advisers embedded in many Afghan ministries. The advisers are helping to develop the ministries so that Afghans can take the lead by the end of 2014, when foreign combat forces are to transfer control of security to Afghan security forces.
At least 28 people have been killed and hundreds wounded since Tuesday, when it first emerged that Qurans and other religious materials had been thrown into a fire pit used to burn garbage at Bagram Air Field, a large U.S. base north of Kabul.
President Barack Obama and other U.S. officials have apologized for what they said was a mistake, but their regrets have not quelled the deadly protests.
An Afghan soldier turned his gun on foreign troops, killing two American soldiers, during one riot outside a U.S. base in Nangarhar province on Thursday. It was the latest in a rising number of incidents where Afghan soldiers or policemen, or gunmen wearing their uniforms, have killed NATO forces. Last month, France suspended its training program and threatened to withdraw its forces from Afghanistan a year ahead of schedule after an Afghan soldier shot and killed four French soldiers on a base in the east.
Karzai has said that the Afghan people have a right to protest the Quran burnings, but he urged them to demonstrate peacefully and refrain from destroying property. In a statement on Saturday, Karzai urged Afghan security forces to be patient with the protesters.
Hundreds of demonstrators staged peaceful protests in Afghanistan, but ones in Laghman, Kunduz and Logar provinces turned violent.
"The culprits of the burning of the holy Quran should be arrested and hanged to death in public," said Mohammad Karim, one of 1,000 protesters who burned tires and threw stones at Afghan police in Mohammad Agha district of Logar province, south of Kabul. "We don't accept it when they say 'We apologize. We apologize.' We don't want Americans here at all."
Laghman provincial police chief Abdul Rahman Sarjang said about 1,000 protesters threw stones at Afghan security forces, smashed windows of government buildings and tried to attack the nearby governor's house in the provincial capital of Mehterlam.
In Kunduz, the capital of Kunduz province in northeastern Afghanistan, more than 1,000 protesters threw rocks at government buildings and a U.N. office, said Sarwer Hussaini, a spokesman for the provincial police. He said the police fired into the air to try to disperse the crowd. Dr. Saad Mukhtar, health department director in Kunduz, said at least three protesters died and 50 others were injured in the melee.
In a statement, the U.N. mission in Afghanistan said the U.N. had deep respect for the Islamic faith and understood why Muslims were upset about the desecration of their holy book, but urged the demonstrators to exercise self-restraint and not let militants use the protests to foment violence.

Bulldozed: Romney's boyhood home
John Makely / msnbc.com
An empty lot in Detroit's Palmer Woods neighborhood where Mitt Romney's boyhood home once stood.
Mike O'Brien of NBCpolitics.com writes:
DETROIT -- All that's left of Mitt Romney's boyhood home is an empty lot, his family's old house in Detroit's Palmer Woods neighborhood having been bulldozed two years ago in May.
The Romney family home fell victim to a familiar predator in the city of Detroit: abandonment and blight. The city ordered the demolition of the home, at 1860 Balmoral Drive, in 2010 as part of an initiative to address blight throughout the city.
Romney has made frequent mention of his roots in southeast Michigan during his campaigning before Tuesday's primary in the state. He elaborated on the fate of his boyhood home, in which the family lived until 1953 according to the Boston Globe, at a stop Thursday evening in Milford:
?"I was born in Detroit, Harper Hospital, our home was right around six-mile and Woodward, a place called Palmer Park. And uh, we had a home there. It?s been bulldozed now because it turned, I guess, into an eyesore or a place where drugs were being used so they had to tear it down. It was a lovely home."
Ricardo Thomas/ The Detroit News via AP
This May 15, 2010 photo shows the onetime home of Michigan's Romney family in the Palmer Park section of Detroit. A demolition crew in Detroit torn down on Tuesday June 8, 2010 the 5,500-square-foot house that was lived in by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney when he was a child. The dilapidated, two-story home torn down Tuesday in the Palmer Woods area was one of 3,000 set for demolition this year under Detroit Mayor Dave Bing's plans to improve neighborhoods by getting rid of dangerous structures and eyesores.
?It's a different portrait of the property painted in an Associated Press story about the demolition:
?Unlike thousands of other vacant houses in the city, the structure at 1860 Balmoral in Detroit's exclusive Palmer Woods area wasn't open to trespass, neighbors said as it crashed and crumbled to the ground.
?There didn't appear to be any vandalism and it certainly didn't become a haven to drug dealers like many others across the city, 58-year-old Tyrone Stewart said.
Mike O'Brien / msnbc.com
Boarded up storefronts on Woodward Ave. near Palmer Park in Detroit.
?The Palmer Woods neighborhood is hardly a portrait of poverty or disrepair; most of the homes in the community are well maintained and worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, even in a depressed housing market. A golf course and the University of Detroit Jesuit high school, an all boys' Catholic prep school, are nearby. A more familiar sight of abandoned and crumbling storefronts stand across Woodward Avenue at 7 Mile, opposite the east end of Palmer Woods.
?Len and Barb Marshick of Belleville, Mich. said at a Friday night rally for Rick Santorum, Romney's main opponent in the Michigan primary, that they drove by the Balmoral Drive property during its demolition. They bemoaned the destruction of the link between the would-be president and the community that raised him.
?"Romney hasn?t lived here for so long, I just don?t think the average person thinks he?s a Michigan guy," Barb said.

The former home of one of Michigan's most prominent political families lies in debris after being demolished in Detroit Tuesday, June 8, 2010. Crews demolished, as part of Detroit's plan to tear down neighborhood eyesores and dangerous houses, the 5,500-square-foot, two-story structure where George Romney raised his family for a time before being elected governor. Former Massachusetts governor and one-time Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was raised in the home in the once prestigious Palmer Woods area.

Every one of the Tracker SUVs are equipped with a four wheel drive system, however new models are actually provided with two wheel drive too. The versions on the Chevrolet SUV add some convertible, some doors and also the two doors models. The automobile offers an excellent fuel usage plus a high reliability.

Sure-Fire Ways to Be Healthy This Year | New Health and Fitness
New Health And Fitness.Org - Health Information You Can Use
Drink more water. Try to drink 8 or more glasses a day or try to stop by the sink and grab a glass of water every time you visit the table. The more water you drink, the lesser food you take in because drinking water before a meal can help you feel full.
Keep studying the remainder of the guidelines below. If you?re making an attempt to determinine whether it?s best to look further into natural body detox or you?re simply seeking to improve your health routine, the knowledge offered in this article will be sure to help. You could be surprised. The free ideas listed right here may be just what you might want to revolutionize your health routine.
Your mind is like a broadcast station in that your thoughts produce feelings that send biochemical messages all the way to your cells and out to your immediate environment and ultimately the universe. These messages can help or harm you, they can serve as obstacles or help you get more of what you want out of life. Too often, thoughts go on automatic formed from early childhood experiences. First, become more aware of your thoughts, and then substitute those that harm you with more life affirming thoughts.
Can?t live without that toothache-causing chocolate bars or sickly-sweet cakes or jellylike candies? Then bake them at home! Buy healthy natural sugar ingredients in the supermarket and cook your pastries, pies and other goodies with only half the sugar ingredient from store-bought treats. With this, you will be able to control your ingredients and enjoy your food more.
Anything in excess is not good. It is a known fact that majority of British Asian men enjoy their drink and in a lot of cases, drink excessively; especially those from North Indian communities. Weekends and social nights out or in, do contribute to major bouts of drinking. For those British Asian men that drink, it is important to drink responsibly and moderately. Binge drinking and having to many drinks at a wedding or party are not heroic but simply risking your health to major problems. Numerous studies have shown that if you drinking moderate amounts of alcohol (all kinds), it protects not only against heart disease, but also lowers risk of death from all causes. Since beer impacts weight much more, the number of pints that you drink needs to be consumed with caution. While one to two drinks a day are protective, excess alcohol consumption is devastating to health.
While laziness is generally considered to be detrimental to your health, when it comes to sleeping it can actually pay off. Research has found that sleep can help you live longer, boost your memory and reduce stress, while getting less than five hours a night can lead to accidents, weight gain, and increased risk of heart disease. While its possible to have too much of a good thing, getting a regular eight hours sleep is a cheap and simple way to boost your health.
Do not even try to abstain from unhealthy foods as a result you are actually more tempted to eat it. I know we often have cravings for our faves. If you want, buy it in small portions and then divide it with your partner. Share the calories, it would cause you less guilt in eating those unhealthy snacks.
Know your diet pitfalls. To improve your eating habits, you first have to know what?s wrong with them. Write down everything you eat for three days. Then check your list according to the rest of these tips. Do you add a lot of butter, creamy sauces or salad dressings? Rather than eliminating these foods, just cut back your portions. Are you getting enough fruits and vegetables? If not, you may be missing out on vital nutrients.
