TheWhoot Co-Founders On Taking The Flakiness Out Of Social Planning

Screen shot 2012-04-27 at 11.07.40 AMBack in the day, before the cell phone, people had to be where they said they'd be. There was no such thing as flaking out, and if you did, you were just a bad person. But these days, even when we make a firm commitment, the convenience of cell phones makes it really easy to flake out at the last second. But co-founders Ryan Coyne and Will Quartner think that going out and having fun with your friends shouldn't have to be so difficult, and thus was born TheWhoot.

Sony outs new waterproof HDR-GW77V Handycam, available May 25th in Japan

Sony outs new waterproof HDR-GW77V Handycam, available May 25th in Japan (video)

Despite having launched a full battalion of Handycams back at CES, Sony left the adventurous crowd out by not introducing any ruggedized shooters. With that in mind, the Japanese outfit has taken the wraps off of its first waterproof (and dustproof) Handycam, which packs a mouthwatering 20.4-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor capable of 1080p video at 60fps. Staying true to its Handycam roots, the HDR-GW77V sports a 3-inch swivel screen while also offering 16GB of internal storage and a 10x optical zoom. Sony claims the camcorder can handle up to 16 feet of water as well as sustain a five-foot freefall. The HDR-GW77V will be hitting Japanese shelves late next month for 70,000 yen (around $860), and there's no word on when -- or if -- it'll make a trip outside its home turf.

Ashton Kutcher: 4 Women In 4 Days!

milaash1_wide.jpg
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis may have just gone on a short trip together, but if the actress is smart she will be careful, as many claim Ashton's all too eager to move on from his split with Demi ? and on, and on, and on. ?Ashton is single and feels he can date as many women as he wants,? a friend of the 34-year-old explains to In Touch.

On one wild weekend, In Touch can exclusively report that the bawdy bachelor hooked up with not one, not two, not even three, but four hot girls! After a rebound romance with producer Lorene Scafaria and a sexy sleepover with Rihanna in March, Ashton arrived at a Passover bash at the Kabbalah Centre in New York on April 12 with another beauty on his arm. The next night, he was spotted seducing two young blondes at Mister H in the Big Apple?s Mondrian SoHo hotel.

Then, two days later, the star shared a sushi date with his former That ?70s Show co-star Mila Kunis at Asanebo in LA. ?Ashton was getting very touchy-feely with her,? a pal says. ?He was grabbing her hand the whole time.?

But while the other women were just one-night stands for the newly minted player, the pal swears that Mila is different. ?Ashton?s always had a crush on her,? the pal admits of the ex-castmates, who began working together on the hit sitcom as teens. ?But Mila had a serious boyfriend.? When Mila broke up with Macaulay Culkin ? and Ashton?s marriage crumbled ? Ashton told Mila that he was going through a tough time and needed a friend. Soon, the pair were talking regularly ? and while Ashton hopes to take things to the next level with Mila, the pal says right now men are not her priority.

Arizona Immigration Law Faces Supreme Court Test |

By JESS BRAVIN and MIRIAM JORDAN

Arizona?s campaign to push out illegal immigrants heads to the Supreme Court this week, in the second major challenge to federal power the justices have taken up in less than a month.

The Obama administration argues a 2010 Arizona measure aimed at fighting illegal immigration conflicts with federal law. The state law requires police to check the immigration status of people they stop if suspicious of their right be in the U.S.

Protesters gathered around Arizona State Sen. Russell Pearce outside the Sandra Day O?Connor Federal Courthouse in Phoenix last year.

It also makes it a crime for immigrants without work permits to seek employment.

Both of these provisions, among others, have been blocked by federal courts for interfering with federal immigration laws. Even so, the Arizona statute has sparked copycat measures in Alabama and other states.

All parties agree immigration is an area of federal supremacy. Last year, the Supreme Court upheld a separate Arizona law putting out of business companies that repeatedly hire illegal immigrants. Over objections from the Obama administration, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and labor groups, the court held 5-3 that Congress had given states authority to strip corporate charters and other essential permits to punish employers for immigration violations.

Architects of the Arizona law now under challenge say they sought to reduce the state?s illegal population, or achieve ?attrition by enforcement.? They call the law a success because many immigrants without papers have voluntarily left.

Critics say the state?s image has suffered, and some groups have canceled conventions amid calls for a boycott of Arizona. The law?s author, Republican state Sen. Russell Pearce, lost his seat in a recall vote last year.

Although the legal issues are unrelated, the politics surrounding the dispute track those of last month?s arguments over President Barack Obama?s health-care overhaul. Both cases pit the administration and Democratic-led states against Republican-led states and tea-party sympathizers aiming to challenge the federal government. Even key personnel are the same: Solicitor General Donald Verrilli, the administration?s top litigator, will again square off against Paul Clement, a Republican former solicitor general representing the state, in arguments beginning Wednesday.

Grant Woods, a Republican former Arizona state attorney general and former chief of staff to Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.), said the state had an ?enormous problem? with illegal immigrants, but ?that does not mean that the solution is for Arizona or any other state to adopt its own immigration policy.? Mr. Woods, one of several former state attorneys general to file a brief siding with the Obama administration, says the dispute is rooted in Congress?s failure to overhaul immigration.

Mr. Clement?s brief says Arizona was forced to act against illegal immigrants because the federal government has failed to secure the U.S. border with Mexico. A ?flood of unlawful cross-border traffic? has plagued the state with an ?influx of illegal drugs, dangerous criminals and highly vulnerable persons,? Mr. Clement wrote. Illegal immigrants constitute 6% of the state?s population, or 400,000, disproportionately filling state prisons, running up public-school expenditures and driving down wages for citizens and legal residents, the brief says.

Because the state law uses federal definitions on immigration status, Arizona describes it as ?cooperative enforcement? of federal law, and says it isn?t going against Congress?s intent.

While many Republicans have seen little political risk in opposing the health-care law, immigration is proving trickier. Laws targeting illegal immigrants have hampered GOP efforts to gain ground among Hispanics, a fast-growing population segment that favored Democrats by a 2-1 margin in the 2010 election.

Mr. Obama opposes the law, SB 1070, while Mitt Romney, the likely Republican nominee, has said he would let such state laws take effect without federal objection.

In his brief, the administration?s Mr. Verrilli rejects the notion that the federal government is neglecting to secure Arizona?s border, saying it has stepped up enforcement. Regardless, the government says, Arizona?s immigration policy conflicts with the policy legislated by Congress, which it says aims to balance a host of competing concerns rather than focusing ?solely on maximum enforcement.?

Lower courts have agreed with the administration and blocked enforcement of four SB 1070 provisions: requiring police to verify the immigration status of everyone they stop who they reasonably suspect may lack authorization to be in the U.S.; authorizing police to arrest any foreign citizen they believe has committed a deportable offense; making it a crime for foreigners to fail to carry registration documents; and making it a crime for illegal immigrants to seek or perform work.

Each of those provisions involves a separate legal analysis, meaning that the Supreme Court could end up upholding some but not others. The court will do so without Justice Elena Kagan, who was solicitor general when the Obama administration filed its challenge to SB 1070 and has recused herself.

The decision is likely to come in the final days of June, the same as the health-care ruling.

Jon Jones? next opponent: Dan Henderson

After Jon Jones defended the UFC light heavyweight belt with a win over Rashad Evans, questions immediately turned to his next opponent. At Saturday's post-fight press conference, UFC president Dana White confirmed Dan Henderson would get the next shot at trying to unseat Jones.

This title shot comes after Henderson had a banner year in 2011. He won the Strikeforce light heavyweight belt, beat MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko, then returned to the UFC with a win over Mauricio "Shogun" Rua in a fight that's considered one of the best of all time.

It will be Henderson's third chance to win the UFC belt. After winning titles in Pride, Henderson lost UFC title shots to Anderson Silva at middleweight and Quinton "Rampage" Jackson at light heavyweight. Back in 1998, Henderson won the UFC middleweight tournament at UFC 17, but that is the only UFC title he's won in his 15-year MMA career.

[ Also: UFC 145 recap: Jon Jones' length crucial in handling Rashad Evans for decision win ]

Though White didn't nail down a date for the Jones-Henderson bout, UFC 149 in Calgary was mentioned as a possibility.

Could Henderson be the man to stop Jon Jones? Tell us in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.
