CTIA shows off what's new in smartphones, accessories, and all things mobile.
On the heels of IFA and in the shadow of Apple and T-Mobile, Super Mobility Week has the makings of a quiet alternative show.
The 2013 CTIA has come to a close. As CNET leaves Las Vegas, join us for a look around the show floor.
From the CTIA 2013 show in Las Vegas, CNET shows you all the new smartphones and devices making their debut.
As we begin CTIA 2013, join CNET for a journey through the handset highlights that the show has brought us.
Join CNET for coverage from Verizon's press conference at the CTIA Wireless show. Our live blog will kick off about 30 minutes beforehand and bring you news updates, photos, and running commentary.
We round up our favorite tech news and toys to come out of this week's all-mobile show.
CNET brings you the best of CTIA's new devices, all on video.
Verizon Wireless, Kyocera, and a few celebrities headline what is expected to be a lackluster final conference.
The group says it will move away from two shows a year to instead focus on a single "super show" in the fall starting in 2014.
Even though we saw several new phones at CTIA, consumer attention flutters elsewhere to the arrival of the iPhone 4S, and rumors of the Motorola Droid Razr and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Even the phones that were announced weren't too much to get excited about. Should there be a CTIA fall show at all?

Updated HD Rage FootageBy Steve Gibson, Aug 04, 2007 3:50pm PDT Update: id Software has shown us the Rage footage again and this time around we got much better framing and coloring on the footage with a better resolution. We will also be adding about 9-10 minutes of Rage walkthrough footage late tonight on FileShack so keep an eye out for that.
Well here it is, HD footage of Rage from id Software as shown at QuakeCon 2007. You can check out the lower resolution Flash player below but I highly recommend downloading the HD Rage footage from FileShack to get the full visuals.

By: zipperface x Show Full PostLooks good, though the textures do have that odd wax look to it like Doom 3, but it's not ugly by any means. Though more than textures and lighting I would love to see an improvement to animations. Odd animation issues always tend to pull me out of a game more than texture quality. As an early example of a common animation issue check out the guy behind and to the left of the the bee at the start of the movie. He walks a short distance, okay, so far so good, then he rotates while still moving in that direction and it looks like he's ice skating. Granted this is somewhat of an early build of the engine and they probably just wanted to show off what they were working on but it's still a pretty common problem that I would dearly love to see have a higher priority of being addressed. I love Half-Life 2 but man does it suck when a model turns and it doesn't look like their legs or feet have anything to do with it. There's of course similar problems with interacting with world objects. I do expect them to be resolved some day but I just wish it would arrive sooner. I'm not usually nit-picky but this has always been something that's bugged me.

Either that or they are just young and missed the boat on the whole quake experience. Not realizing that pretty much everything beyond doom and quake are just variations.
I'm not saying everything not id sucks. There are some other really quality SP/MP FPS. I just wonder why all the predetermined negativity.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Homeowners in the county that includes Cincinnati are going to be paying more next year to help support the city's professional sports stadiums.
The Cincinnati Enquirer (http://cin.ci/YAB6Jo ) reports that Hamilton County commissioners on Wednesday reduced the property tax rebate to cover a $7 million deficit in the fund that pays for the baseball and football stadiums downtown.
In a 2-1 vote -- with lone Democrat Todd Portune casting the no vote -- commissioners rolled back the rebate by 50 percent for 2013 and agreed to do it again in 2014. This year property owners saved $70 for every $100,000 value of their home.
That means next year they'll pay $35 more per $100,000 of home value.
The rollback doesn't solve the deficit beyond 2014.

LONDON (Reuters) - Shareholders in South African platinum miner Lonmin
Lonmin said more than 91 percent of votes cast were in favour. Investors representing almost 78 percent of the company's shares voted.
The rights issue, essential for Lonmin to meet revised conditions set by its lenders, had been expected to be voted through after its single largest shareholder, miner Xstrata
Xstrata's position was uncertain until then, after a rejected reverse takeover proposal and moves to eject Lonmin's current management were made public earlier this month. Xstrata, which holds a 25 percent stake as a result of a failed 2008 takeover effort, said it was concerned current management could not "ensure a sustainable future".
Xstrata eventually agreed to back the rights issue but said it would continue to seek management change and a new strategy.
Lonmin, which already had one of the most stretched balance sheets in the sector, was hit in September by strikes at its flagship Marikana mine which saw some of the worst violence in South Africa since the end of apartheid and left 46 people dead.
It needs to raise at least $700 million by the end of the year in order to meet conditions set by its lenders.

The turn of a dial changes everything. With the Driver Mode Selector, you can fine-tune your driving experience
with five distinct, selectable driver modes: Weather, Eco, Tour, Sport and Track. Each mode electronically
calibrate up to 12 performance variables to customize and optimize the Corvette Z06 supercar for any road.
Three of the dozen performance variables that the Driver Mode Selector can adjust are Magnetic Selective Ride
Control, Performance Traction Management (PTM) and Electronic Limited-Slip Differential (eLSD). Standard
Magnetic Ride technology adapts every 10-15 milliseconds, stiffening the suspension for performance driving
without sacrificing a smooth ride. Available in Track Mode, PTM offers five settings of torque reduction and brake
intervention for track driving.
Standard on Z06, eLSD makes the most of the torque split between the rear wheels. The system, which
becomes more aggressive in Sport and Track Modes, is designed to improve stability and responsiveness.
eLSD also features a hydraulically actuated clutch that can infinitely vary clutch engagement and respond
from open to full engagement in mere tenths of a second in order to improve steering feel, handling balance
and traction.

Kyria Anna Dokeianina Syrakousina came to the Barony of the Bridge by ways of Trimaris in 2002, where she had been playing on and off for a few years during high school and college. She is garb diva, Man-At-Arms to Lord Tristan le Sauvage, a warranted marshal of fence and a pretty good brewer, too. She is painfully obsessed with all things Roman and Eastern Roman (Byzantine) and enjoys blabbing about her recent projects and teaching classes.
She is a member of the households Clan SITH, and Villa of the Black Dolphin, both in the line of Silver Dragon, and The Smoking Bridge Guild of Libation Brewers.
Anna replaced her missing cousin, Anna Dauzzano da Siracusa at court during Bridge Birthday 2012.
Visit her SCA blog: [[1]]
Kyria Anna is a lady born of a high-ranking Greek family living in Saracen-controlled Sicily around the 11th century. She was married to a lower ranking prince of the Imperial family by proxy and moved to Constantinople in her early teens. She was rapidly caught up into dangerous court intrigue, and after nearly 20 years of grandiose Imperial life, her husband was mysteriously killed while turmoil reigned during a shifting of power in the Purple. Being that her family was of an opposing political view to the Emperor, she was placed under house arrest and is confined to the grounds of the Great Palace Complex overlooking Propontis (The Sea of Marmara).
Anna befriended several men of the Varangian Guard during her life in Constantinople, who often plot to get her out of the city. Unfortunately, their oath to the Emperor put their lives and pay in jeopardy, and the endangerment of her family is too great. So she spends her time dressing in expensive silks and linens, watching games at the Hippodrome, reading the classics, and flirting with the Norsemen.
Alternate Persona: Anna Dauzzano da Siracusa
Anna was born in the mid 16th century to a Spanish mother and Italian father. Anna found herself engrossed in the classics while working in the offices of her uncle's shipping company. After turning down several profitable marriage proposals, her uncle saw in her a better businessperson than noblewoman, and gave her the ship, La Delfina Nera (the Black Dolphin), to sponsor and run as her own corner of his larger conglomerate.
Disagreeing with the tribute demanded by the Spanish crown for them to continue to operate out of Naples, the Dauzzano clan packed up and relocated to Venice, which gave them greater access to the Eastern Mediterranean and the goods coming off of the Silk Road. Anna, along with her brother, Maximo, took La Delfina Nera to the island of Cyprus to be more strategically placed for trade with the Ottoman Empire out of Constantinople. This is a dangerous place to be, as the Ottomans continually press the Venetian merchants and shippers on the island, and threaten invasion.
Anna's ship was taken off the coast of Cyprus one fateful autumn afternoon, and she is now presumed dead. Rumor has it she was sold into the Sultan's harem.
Alternate-Alternate Persona: Numera Faustina Septima
Domina Faustina (Septima, if you know her well enough), was the seventh daughter of a Roman Tribune by the name of Numerus Faustinus, who served for many years in Britannia where he received high honors. Faustina, being of such a Patrician family, was married to an older senator, who she had little interest in except for his money.
Faustina enjoyed a life of pure Roman decadence. Hosting lavish feasts, spending her husband's money on expensive imported goods from the East, and laying about in the baths with the other debutantes and socialites gossiping day in a day out.

Lose weight.
Stop smoking.
Get out of debt.
These are some of the most common, and therefor the most failed, New Year's resolutions, with 45 percent of Americans starting out the year with new commitments and only eight percent achieving their goals.
In Time.com's piece, Why New Year's Resolutions Are Bad for You, writer Jessica Lamb-Shapiro looks at the history of New Year's resolutions, how they set you up to fail and what you can do to achieve success.
"When you tie your behavioral change to a specific date, you rob yourself of an opportunity to fail and recover, to 'fail better,'" she writes.
According to the University of Scranton's Journal of Clinical Psychology, the 10 most popular resolutions are:
1. Lose Weight
2. Get Organized
3. Spend Less, Save More
4. Enjoy Life to the Fullest
5. Stay Fit and Healthy
6. Learn Something Exciting
7. Quit Smoking
8. Help Others in Their Dreams
9. Fall in Love
10. Spend More Time with Family
Goals like "lose weight" are abstract and lack concrete steps to take, resulting in diminished motivation and eventual failure. Instead, resolve to take specific steps to achieve broader goals, like "exercise three times per week."

Diabetes is a lifelong condition in which sugar (glucose) remains in the blood rather than entering the body's cells to be used for energy. This results in persistently high blood sugar, which, over time, can damage many body systems.
Symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst and frequent urination (especially at night); unexplained increase in appetite; unexplained weight loss; fatigue; erection problems; blurred vision; and tingling, burning, or numbness in the hands or feet.
People who have diabetes are at increased risk for many serious health problems, including hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) and heart problems, eye problems that can lead to blindness, circulation and nerve problems, and kidney disease and kidney failure.
Pregnant women with uncontrolled diabetes have an increased risk of miscarriage and birth defects.
Diabetes is treated with diet and lifestyle changes and with medicines (such as insulin or oral medicines). If blood sugar levels are kept within the recommended range, the risk for many complications from diabetes decreases.

Advancing Shared Decision Making
The Informed Medical Decisions Foundation, now a division of Healthwise, has been working to advance evidence-based shared decision making since 1989. We believe the only way to ensure that high quality health care decisions are being made is for a fully informed patient to participate in a shared decision making process with their clinician. Through our research and advocacy efforts, we are dedicated to helping people make better health decisions.
Current News from the Informed Medical Decisions Foundation
Call for Keeping Patients Informed Is Heard Loud and Clear
141 attendees…
290 Twitter participants…
1,599 tweets…
3,806,868 Twitter impressions…
These numbers represent the impact of the recent Summer Institute for Informed Patient Choice (SIIPC) conference, held June 25-27 in Hanover, NH. Aligning with this year's theme, "The legal and ethical implications of keeping patients in the dark," conversations both in the conference room and "virtual" centered on informed patient choice, shared decision making, and health care reform. The passion for keeping patients informed could be seen, felt, and heard near and far.
Threading together various perspectives throughout the health care industry, including policy makers, lawyers, ethicists, clinicians, patients, and researchers, SIIPC provided a truly interdisciplinary approach to the issue at hand. Opening remarks by Jack Wennberg, Foundation co-founder and founder of the Dartmouth Atlas, and David Goldhill, author of "Catastrophic Care: How American Health Care Killed My Father— and How We Can Fix It," set the stage for a lively 2½ days.
Jack brought to life the "geography is destiny" phenomenon, a circumstance rooted in variations of both practice of medicine and supply of resources. Informing patients, he argued, is a solution to both of these variations. What we need, said Jack, is to "kill informed consent and shift to informed patient choice."
David spoke of his father's unnecessary death from a hospital-acquired infection, which inspired him to investigate the health care industry and eventually led to his somewhat controversial, free-market perspective on how to fix it. David argues that health care has separated the role of the patient and customer, a phenomenon that happens in no other industry. Instead, the health care industry serves the payer as the customer, leading to a warped system where the interests of the payers are satisfied, instead of the patients. The solution David proposes is to treat the health care system like any other industry, where the patient is the customer and where information and transparency are the norm. His presentation and perspective were well-received yet controversial for SIIPC, prompting many conversations throughout the event.
The interdisciplinary perspectives at SIIPC weren't limited to the presenters; the attendees came from various disciplines within health care and many had personal reasons for attending. This was most evident in the small group discussions throughout the conference, providing all attendees the opportunity to share their perspectives and build upon each other's ideas. Each group explored the barriers to informing patients, how the various stakeholder groups represented can work together to solve this issue, and what next steps hold the most promise to achieving informed patient choice. These discussions produced pages of thoughts and ideas to move forward with, available to anyone interested by signing up for emails here.
The 2014 SIIPC not only explored the dangers and barriers of keeping patients in the dark, but also provided insights and solutions to the problem, applicable to all segments of the health care industry. From the 141 attendees, to the 3.8 million impressions, the call for informed patient choice has been heard. As health care reform moves forward, there is no doubt that the many ideas born here will make their way into the new, patient-centered system of care.

The Foundation will continue to maintain its identity as the research and policy arm of Healthwise, so we have been hard at work on our strategic plans for research and advocacy. Ben Moulton and Leslie Kelly Hall are leading the advocacy and policy efforts to transform the health care system into a truly patient-centered system. Advocacy efforts in the short run will focus on patient decision aid certification, promoting national and state policies supportive of informed and involved people facing health decisions, and penetration of shared decision making into new markets. Carrie Levin is heading the research efforts, with expert support from Jack Fowler and the rest of the research team. The evolving research strategic plan focuses on projects to improve decision-support and behavior-change solutions, projects to improve solution implementation, and projects demonstrating the value of these solutions in health care. As these projects unfold, we will be building a research infrastructure, developing clinical partnerships as collaborative "laboratories," and further sharpening and standardizing key outcome measures.

One of the highlights at our
Turn-Back-the-Clock Day was seeing my old friend Vida Blue again. "The
Blue Boy," one of the more friendly and down-to-earth personalities among star
athletes, held court in the A's dugout prior to Saturday's game against the
Pirates, along with former teammates Joe Rudi, Campy Campaneris and Mike Norris. Sometimes, I think we forget just how
talented those A's teams were in the 70s.
In the case of Blue, I have always wondered why his name hasn't gotten
more serious consideration for Baseball's Hall of Fame. The case can still be made.
For a younger generation who
has fussed and fawned over the early exploits of the Giants' two-time Cy Young
Award winner Tim Lincecum, they may not be
aware that a 21-year-old Vida Blue may have done a better impression of "The
Freak" than even the Freak does. In 1971, 21-year-old Blue became a national sensation on the mound. In leading the franchise to its first
postseason berth in 40 years, Vida
posted a 24-8 record and led the American League in ERA (1.82), complete games
(24), shutouts (8) and strikeouts (301).
Barely drinking age, Blue won the Cy Young Award and also was voted the AL's Most Valuable
Player. In fact, he is just the 5th pitcher to win a league MVP
trophy in the last 39 years!
Yet, it was the way Blue smothered the opposition that
really resonated with baseball fans. Not
only was he a fan favorite in Oakland,
he was a major gate attraction in every Major League ballpark he pitched
in. He was so athletic on the mound and
truly a blend of pitchers from the previous decade. His high leg kick was kind of a cross between
Marichal and Warren Spahn, with a fastball that would consistently approach or
hit 100 MPH, he was reminiscent of another lefthander, Sandy Koufax. Like Koufax,
the "Blue Blazer" would start waist high to a batter, and then explode upwards
above the letters.
Many veteran sportswriters,
like the San Francisco Chronicle's
talented Bruce Jenkins, have spoken about
players "passing the sight test" when it comes to being voted into the Hall of
Fame. While statistics can tell a story,
you don't need batting averages or career wins to find a real Hall of Famer. It's how they played the game. And that was Vida Blue. When he took the mound, it was instant
excitement and like all worthy Hall of
Famers, he dominated during his
era. In some ways, I think Vida has been
the victim of playing on teams with so much talent. It took
Cepeda many years to enter Cooperstown, as voters were reluctant to add another Hall
of Famer from those Giants teams that already featured HOFers Willie Mays,
Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry or those Cardinal teams that were anchored by HOFers
Brock, Bob Gibson and Steve Carlton. Same for Tony Perez, who deserved enshrinement for years but was hurt by
the presence of Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan and Pete Rose on those magnificent Big Red Machine clubs.
Had Blue not become a
contract holdout prior to the 1972 season, who knows what kind of numbers he
might have recorded as a follow-up to his eye-popping 1971 MVP campaign? As it was, his first start of 1972 did not
happen until May 28 and he struggled to a 6-10 mark. That being said, Vida still went on to scroll
career statistics and honors that certainly should require closer Hall of Fame
examination, even at this late date.
Consider this:
- Blue was a 20-game winner three times over a
five-year period, also boasting 20-9 and 22-11 seasons in 1973 and 1975,
- He was a six-time All-Star and finished in the
Top 7 in ERA and Cy Young voting five times during his career.
- Vida threw one no-hitter (1970), one combined
no-hitter (1975), and three one-hitters (1970, 1971 and 1976) during his career.
- He still leads
the Oakland
A's in career shutouts (28), strikeouts (1,315), complete games (105) and
innings pitched (1,946), and ranks second in career victories (124) to
Hall of Famer Jim "Catfish" Hunter.
- And, of course, he also was a key pitcher on
three consecutive World Series championship teams in 1972-74.
But if that isn't enough
proof that Vida may very well belong in Hall of Fame, take a look at his career
statistics as they compare to some other pitchers who already have plaques in Cooperstown. Blue
compiled a 209-161 record and 3.27 ERA in his career. The Dodgers' Don Drysdale posted a 209-166 lifetime mark. Jim Bunning
was 224-184 with an identical 3.27 ERA. Robin Roberts went 286-245 with a 3.41 ERA. Even Catfish's numbers, while slightly
better, are comparable: 224-166, 3.26
ERA. And while Koufax's career was sadly
cut short due to severe arthritis, Blue posted 44 more victories, six more
complete games and only three less shutouts than the Dodger southpaw.
Some critics of Blue's
candidacy might point to his 1-5 record and 4.31 ERA in postseason play during
his career. But to hold that against him
would be like dismissing others who had brilliant regular season showings but
yet-than-stellar playoff performances (Ted Williams, Barry Bonds, Cepeda, to
name a few). And it should be noted that Blue only allowed 55 hits in 64.2
innings in those playoff games.
Others may suggest, even if under their breath, that Vida
has not gotten serious Hall of Fame consideration due to his well-documented
battle with personal demons, during his 17-year career. Perhaps, that theory has some validity. Yet, if voters–even the Veterans Committee–are
dismissing Blue as a bona fide Hall of Famer because it's "a character issue,"
I say this: what really is
character? Is it being human and making
mistakes, or is getting up off the ground and overcoming those mistakes? Like all of us, Vida is not perfect. He has made his share of miscues, both on and
off the field. But I've know him for
nearly 20 years, and I am aware of the countless good deeds he has done in this
community. He has served Northern
California's youth well, visiting schools, hospitals and playgrounds, sharing
his powerful message that even a former Cy Young and MVP winner can make mistakes
which could have a profound impact on your life. However, unlike some teachers or speakers,
when Vida talks to these teenagers, he bravely offers himself as a real-world
So, when you see Vida Blue
at the Oakland Coliseum at an Old-Timers or Turn-Back-the-Clock day, don't
forget just how great the kid from Mansfield,
La. was. I was there back in 1971 and I witnessed it
first hand. He was truly one of the
all-time greats.

Love this. Vida was the greatest. Went to all the 73 and 74 W.S. games and have been an A's fan since 1970. What sets Vida apart is not only was he a great pitcher, but he is also a great person.
Thanks for this great story. Vida Blue should be in The Hall. Just look at his numbers and compare with the above stated HOF'ers. There was none more dominant when he was on his game and 1971 was a magical year.
i grew up there watching those a's teams and when vida went to san Francisco. vida was an impact player on some not very good teams. vida was great. even pete rose said so. in 1972 he relieved in the play-offs and world series. we wouldn't have won without him. vida was an impact player for at least a decade. cocaine? I forgive him. he belongs in the hall

Brian Wilson Recovering From Back Surgery
Monday, September 17, 2012
Brian Wilson is recovering from back surgery and took time out to post on his Tumblr page (brianwilsonlive.tumblr.com) a message to his well-wishers. Fans have been concerned with Wilson's recent weight gain, which has been due to persistent back pain that has pretty much eliminated his five-mile-a-day exercise regime.
Wilson's Tumblr post reads:
Hi all, I've been reading the posts where some of you are concerned about my health in general. I want to let you know that before the Beach Boys' 50th tour started I was having some lower back issues right around the time we performed on the Grammys in February. This is the same type of problem that (my brother) Carl (Wilson) used to suffer from, it's hereditary. But being able to tour with the Boys again meant so much to me that I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Luckily, I was able to get this new cutting edge procedure that totally worked. But after this last run in Australia it came back and I had the procedure redone this week.
I feel so much better already and can't wait to get back to my second home, London!! See you soon. Love & Mercy, Brian Wilson
Although his battles with substance abuse and mental illness are the stuff of legend; these days, the only drugs Wilson ingests are psychotropic medications to counter-balance his auditory hallucinations. We asked him if his ongoing mental and emotional problems are easier to handle while performing: "The opposite. Quite the opposite. I feel like I'm overworking. I'm trying to sing and I hear auditory hallucinations in my head at the same time, which is a tough one, but I can do it. Every concert is like a ringer."
Brian Wilson, who is the lone survivor of his immediate family -- including his younger brothers and bandmates Carl and Dennis Wilson -- carries the weight of the Wilson's musical legacy on his shoulders. We asked him, if knowing what he knows now about life, what he would've said to the 24-year-old kid recording Smile: "I woulda said, 'Don't take any more drugs!' I would say, 'Stop taking drugs!' -- if I was able to talk to myself when I was 24, but I can't."
The Beach Boys wrap their 50th anniversary tour over two nights in London this month -- September 27th at the Royal Albert Hall, and September 28th at Wembley Arena.

SPOKANE -- Two members of the Spokane City Council are taking a public stand on the issue of gun control
Mike Fagan and John Snyder will introduce to separate resolutions at Monad night's council meeting. The resolutions are non-binding and will have no impact on City policy, but the councilmen hope they will influence state and national lawmakers.
Fagan said he is worried recent talk about gun control in the wake of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School will lead to a violation of his Second Amendment rights. He wants a resolution stating outright that the City will not do anything that infringes on the Second Amendment.
Snyder plans to ask the council to get behind two bills in the Washington State legislature which include upping the punishment for teens convicted of multiple times of having an illegal gun.
Both resolutions could pass as they do not necessarily compete with each other.
Council members will hear both resolutions at their regularly scheduled meeting Monday night. Public comment is scheduled for next week.

Rum is a drink that lends itself to being enjoyed in a number of different ways; with a mixer, as the base for a cocktail such as the Mojito, and on its own, as a bracing restorative. Rum was founded on the back of the sugar cane industries in the West Indies.White rum is a standard drink in the Caribbean with well known brands like Barcardi,and Havana Club. Dark rum such as Captain Morgans, Lambs Navy and Inner Circle are aged from anywhere between 3 and 12 years and its heavier consistency and deeper flavours lend itself to being drunk on its own, although some cocktails do benefit from its weight.
The International Wine and Spirit Competition aims to promote the quality and excellence of the world's best wines, spirits and liqueurs. All rum entrants are blind tasted by experts, and with entries from over 80 countries worldwide you can be sure rums with this award are of a superior taste and quality.
