Sullivan: Jets' Mark Sanchez has his starting job back, but how long can he keep it?
FLORHAM PARK – A few days of deep deliberation didn't sever the tie of loyalty from Rex Ryan to Mark Sanchez, but for the first time since the bold draft-day move that forever connects this coach and quarterback, the ties that bind are fraying.
That Ryan benched his first-round pick late in Sunday's game against the Cardinals was the first sign of trouble, but it was Ryan's postgame refusal to name Sanchez the starter ahead of third-stringer Greg McElroy that gave us proof of deeper doubt. Ryan closed the book on his own mystery early Wednesday morning, giving the ball back to the embattled Sanchez for this weekend's game in Jacksonville, but this story is far from over.
Now it's up to Sanchez to write the ending. Like a cornered fighter, Sanchez has to come out swinging or he's going to end up knocked out, and maybe for good. A guaranteed salary of over $8 million might keep him on the roster next season, but without a reversal of the turnover-prone, skittish play he's shown of late, he'll never recover the faith of his teammates. Ryan showed plenty of loyalty when he tabbed Sanchez once again; now we find out how Sanchez will respond. This is his rock bottom moment.
"I think he was more or less sending a message," Sanchez said Wednesday, a five-deep crowd of reporters surrounding his locker. "It's well received. I know. I got it."
Technically, Sanchez survived the supposed backup threat of Tim Tebow, because Tebow never earned any significant time at quarterback. But, between a clearly shaken confidence and a talent-depleted roster, he suffered nonetheless. The last straw came Sunday, when three interceptions finally led Ryan to hand the ball to McElroy. And it was McElroy who took his spot among the same middling offensive teammates and engineered the one touchdown drive the Jets needed to beat the hapless Cardinals.
As McElroy worked, Sanchez found himself on the bench for the first time in his quarterbacking life. He'd even approached Ryan just to confirm the shocking news offensive coordinator Tony Sparano had just delivered, to quiet the voices in his head wondering, "This really happened?" He did everything he could to support McElroy, charting plays and dissecting formations, and was sincere in his postgame assertion that all that mattered was the victory.
And then he waited along with the rest of us, wondering whether Ryan would give him his team back. On Wednesday morning, in the quarterbacks' meeting room in Florham Park, Ryan did just that. Short leash installed and warnings issued, yes, but all that matters to Sanchez is that he gets another chance, and that he makes it count.
"I'm pleased with Rex's decision and now it's my job to go make him right," Sanchez said. "Not just him, but the rest of the guys in the locker room. To go and compete my butt off and play like I know how: to protect the football, and do it for the rest of the guys in this locker room."
Sanchez won his news conference in the same way he usually does, offering the right dose of humility about what's gone wrong and confidence that he can make it right. He shut down any notion he lacks mental toughness, he admitted his interceptions have been awful, he pointedly referred to his past playoff successes as proof he plays best when the pressure is highest and he spoke directly to the level of disappointment that goes with letting down the coaches and players working so hard for his success.
He hit all the right notes. Now, he just has to transfer that poise to the playing field. Now, he has to deliver on the promise that having what he loves taken away will make him appreciate it all the more.

SSE vows to pay staff Living Wage
Energy company SSE has signed up as a Living Wage employer.
Energy company SSE has signed up as a Living Wage employer.
The company said it was the biggest in Britain by market capitalisation to guarantee to pay employees at least £7.45 an hour.
The rate is calculated on the basic cost of living in the UK and employers choose to pay it on a voluntary basis.
SSE said 148 employees in Scotland, England and Northern Ireland received a wage increase of around £1,000 as a result of the decision.
The company, which supplies energy under the brands Scottish Hydro, Southern Electric, Swalec and Airtricity, employs more than 20,000 people.
It said it would also ensure its supply chain paid employees the living wage from April 2014.
Chief executive Alistair Phillips-Davies said: "SSE is proud to become one of the first big companies to pay its employees the Living Wage.
"It is a matter of basic fairness that people should get a wage which is enough to cover their living expenses and SSE believes in being fair."
Rhys Moore, director of The Living Wage Foundation, said: " Today's announcement is a real milestone in the history of the Living Wage movement.
"We now have the first energy supplier, the first UK utility and the first company in the top third of the FTSE 100 to become an accredited Living Wage employer."
There are now almost 400 accredited living wage employers in the UK, up from 70 this time last year, he said.
Scottish Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said: "We fully support the living wage campaign - it can make a real difference to people's lives when they receive a fair wage.
"We are firmly of the view that employers should reward their staff fairly, which is why all public sector staff under our direct control receive at least the Scottish Living Wage rate and will do for the duration of this parliament.
"It is great news that SSE have adopted the Scottish Living Wage and we would encourage all public, private and third sector organisations to do likewise."

Flight Data Recorders
Photo courtesy National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) The damaged flight data recorder from EgyptAir Flight 990 |
In the United States, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that commercial airlines record a minimum of 11 to 29 parameters, depending on the size of the aircraft. Magnetic-tape recorders have the potential to record up to 100 parameters. Solid-state FDRs can record more than 700 parameters. On July 17, 1997, the FAA issued a Code of Federal Regulations that requires the recording of at least 88 parameters on aircraft manufactured after August 19, 2002.
Here are a few of the parameters recorded by most FDRs:
- Time
- Pressure altitude
- Airspeed
- Vertical acceleration
- Magnetic heading
- Control-column position
- Rudder-pedal position
- Control-wheel position
- Horizontal stabilizer
- Fuel flow
Solid-state recorders can track more parameters than magnetic tape because they allow for a faster data flow. Solid-state FDRs can store up to 25 hours of flight data. Each additional parameter that is recorded by the FDR gives investigators one more clue about the cause of an accident.

7 Keys to Finding the Right M.B.A. Learning Environment for You
Consider the ways a school's curriculum is delivered, a former b-school admissions dean says.
When prospective M.B.A. students do their research on business schools, they often consider factors such as reputation, areas of academic emphasis (accounting, marketing, international business, etc.), location, job placement, financial aid, and alumni network.
All of the above are important aspects to consider. However, of equal importance, and yet so often overlooked, is the learning environment: the styles, systems, methods, and manners in which the curriculum is presented as well as the general student and business school atmosphere and culture.
[See U.S. News's rankings of the Best Business Schools.]
When doing your M.B.A. research, be sure to evaluate how the curriculum is taught at each of the schools you are considering. It's essential that the style matches your learning preferences. Additionally, make sure you take the time to explore the student atmosphere on campus before submitting an application.
Here are seven key elements to consider when evaluating a business school's learning environment:
1. Philosophy: The overall educational philosophy of the school is a significant factor when deciding what program is the best fit for you. Many M.B.A. programs are more conservative and focus on traditional business models in the curriculum, while others are open to and encourage exploring novel market models such as sustainability. Review the schools' websites to get a firm idea of their general philosophies. Make note of it in writing, so you can easily reference it later.
2. Relevance of the curriculum: Be sure to check that the professors have recent real-world experience. Make sure they bring acumen to the classroom that is up to date and provides academic training informed by concrete business experience. After all, what use are antiquated theories and scholarly discussions that have little to do with today's business world and markets? Therefore, investigate the exposure the faculty has to what's going on beyond the ivory towers and research labs.
[Avoid the 7 deadly sins of business school applicants.]
3. Group vs. independent projects: Which of these do you prefer? In which style do you perform best? Based on your answer, make a list of the number of courses that require considerable team or group work, versus those where students perform most class assignments on their own. Believe me; it can make a big difference.
4. Case method vs. lecture method: Have you considered which of these you prefer? The basic difference is the source and dissemination of the learning. In lecture method, all of the learning content comes from the professor, as a "head coach."
In case method, the content is learned and disseminated from groups of classmates as topics or "cases" are explored. With case method, the professor's role is less of a coach and more of a mentor.
There is a wide variety of course styles, and it's important that you look into this aspect and consider which provides the best educational experience for you, as it will be a critical element of your M.B.A. learning experience.
5. Required vs. elective courses: Some M.B.A. students are more comfortable with curricula primarily set for them, with very few electives. Others like the freedom to choose most of their courses. You need to determine your preference. Based on that, you'll be more informed about what's best for you based on the schools' course offerings.
6. The student community: The general style of a program and overall student-body personality greatly impact your business school experience. It is essential that you investigate this before applying. During my years as a dean of admissions, it was not uncommon to have students in my office, deeply troubled because they weren't fitting into the student culture.
When choosing the right environment, consider student-atmosphere descriptors such as more conservative, more liberal, individualistic, collaborative, easygoing, open-minded, conventional, down to earth, stuffy, blue jeans, or suit and tie.

FitEar TO GO! 334
" **Fitear To Go 334** It's very expensive, it doesn't fit the best due to its huge shell, yet I love it all the same. The sound is sublime.

Hello All,
I'm currently running TCS 1.3 and just got the new 3.0! My question is this, should I uninstall TCS v 1.3 before I install 3.0 or will 3.0 just overwrite 1.3?
Hi Benjamin,
Do share your experience for the benefit of others :-)
All, thanks for the responses below. I've uninstalled th current version of TCS I was running (V1.3) and installed the latest (V 3.0) without any problems. I just used Windows normal Add/Remove software function in the Control Panel and it seems to work like a charm.

SRI's Marc Hornbostel, a materials scientist, showed PM a hockey-puck-shaped chunk of carbon that he said has a surface area of thousands of square yards. That ample surface area, made possible by extremely small pores, can serve as a receptacle for natural gas. A "tank" made of the stuff can be formed into any shape, eliminating the need for bulky cylinders, and can store the same volume of gas at one-sixth the pressure required by conventional tanks. Hornbostel's lab is adapting the tech for carbon capture at coal-fired power plants, as well as for transportation applications, since the material can collect carbon dioxide as well as natural gas.

Plot Summary:
"Alien Trespass" is an exciting and entertaining homage to the great science-fiction movies of the 1950s, the post-war boom period when the country was filled with great hope and prosperity and, at the same time, lived under the threat of nuclear annihilation.
The story begins in 1957 in the star-filled skies above California's Mojave Desert. It is a special night for noted astronomer Ted Lewis (Eric McCormack), who is preparing a special dinner for his beautiful, adoring wife Lana (Jody Thompson) to celebrate their wedding anniversary. In another part of town, Tammy (Jenni Baird), a waitress at small local diner with big plans for the future, looks out her window and is excited to see a shooting star, which she takes as a good sign for her dreams.
But, what Dr. Lewis and Tammy assume is a shooting star, is really an alien spaceship. The fiery ball hurtles toward earth and crash-lands on a butte in the desert. The only witnesses are teens Dick (Andrew Dunbar) and Penny (Sarah Smyth) who are necking in a nearby lover's lane.
A tall, metallic alien named Urp emerges from the craft unharmed, alarmed to discover that the monstrous Ghota, who was also on board, has escaped. The menacing one-eyed creature's unquenchable appetite could mean the end of civilization as we know it.
Urp is the only one who knows how to stop the hideous extra-terrestrial, but to do so he has to take over the body of Dr. Lewis and enlist the aid of Tammy, the only human in town willing to believe and trust in his mission. The local police--including Chief Dawson (Dan Lauria) and Officer Vern (Robert Patrick)--are confirmed skeptics and offer little help. Together, Urp and Tammy must hunt down the Ghota and neutralize it before it consumes all the local inhabitants and uses the human fuel to multiply and conquer the world!
"Alien Trespass," a thrilling sci-fi adventure from three-time Golden Globe winner and five time Emmy Award-nominee director/producer R.W. Goodwin ("The X-Files") and brought to you in glorious color!

text: Quoted Text Tuesday, April 26, 2011 Orchestra Musicians To Give Goodbye Concert By David SteinbergJournal Staff Writer The New Mexico Symphony Orchestra may have died, but its musicians are playing on. In fact, the players will give a concert in Popejoy Hall on Saturday to say thank you to the NMSO's supporters. The concert will feature Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 ("Ode to Joy") and W.A. Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 4. "The decision to have a concert came about as a consensus from among the musicians to honor our patrons as best we could," said Lori Lovato, who served as the NMSO's assistant principal clarinetist. "I think the musicians are excited to do something for our patrons. They've been with us through some trying times, and we want to do something for them." Lovato said a majority of the NMSO's 75 musicians are expected to play but none is expecting to receive any compensation. David Felberg, who was the symphony's associate concertmaster, will conduct. Lovato said Guillermo Figueroa, the NMSO's musical director, would have conducted but he had a previous engagement out of state. Roger Melone said he's preparing about 88 voices of the New Mexico Symphonic Chorus for the Beethoven work. The chorus is the new official name of what had been the NMSO Chorus. Melone was the NMSO's longtime chorus director and resident conductor. And four University of New Mexico faculty members — Kathleen Clawson, Bradley Ellingboe, Sam Shepperson and Leslie Umphrey — will solo in Beethoven symphony. Peter Ulffers, who was the NMSO's principal French horn, will solo in the Mozart concerto. Last week, the orchestra's board of trustees voted to shut its doors and file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. As of Monday, the NMSO had not filed. The NMSO had been beset by long-term financial woes, including declining corporate gifts. More than half of its income has traditionally been unearned. When the NMSO closed its doors, its musicians were owed about $800,000 in back pay. Felberg predicted that there will be a professional symphony in Albuquerque's future.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Federal authorities have been investigating whether officials at the Bank of Mingo helped a group of coal-mining contract firms use dozens of illegal cash withdrawals to finance a multimillion-dollar scheme aimed at lowering workers' compensation insurance premiums, according to newly unsealed court records.
Earlier this year, FBI agents seized computer hard drives and documents related to Aracoma Contracting from the bank's Williamson branch as part of a probe that has resulted in jail sentences for a former BrickStreet Insurance auditor and four coal contract company officials, according to the court filings.
Investigators alleged that they have "probable cause" to believe that the bank and at least one bank manager "conspired with, or otherwise aided and abetted" Aracoma Contracting in structuring cash withdrawals to help cover up the scheme, FBI Special Agent James Lafferty said in a sworn statement filed as part of the government's application for a search warrant for potential evidence from the bank.
Bank officials could not be reached for comment Monday, but have previously said that they were cooperating with investigators and had done nothing wrong. Neither the bank nor any of its employees has been charged.
Agents carried out the search warrant, approved by then-U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary E. Stanley, in late February. Documents about it were originally filed under seal in federal court in Charleston.
Lafferty's affidavit, along with the search warrant and a list of potential evidence obtained by agents, was unsealed Friday, the same day that former BrickStreet auditor Arville Sargent was sentenced by U.S. District Judge John T. Copenhaver.
Sargent was sentenced to 6 years in prison after he reached a deal with prosecutors and admitted to tax evasion and mail fraud, in a scheme in which he accepted an estimated $1 million in bribes in exchange for helping Aracoma Contracting officials avoid higher workers' insurance premiums from BrickStreet. Four officials from Aracoma Contracting and related firms have also been sentenced to prison sentences ranging from 15 months to 30 months.
The investigation, led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Ryan, has not received nearly as much attention as ongoing criminal probes of the Upper Big Branch Mine Disaster and of political corruption in Mingo County. But statements by prosecutors and recently filed court records show the coal-contractor probe has led federal investigators to additional information about public corruption in the region, to a potentially large gambling ring, and to more cases where coal companies were defrauding their workers' compensation insurers.
In the case, prosecutors alleged that Sargent worked with Aracoma Contracting and three other contracting firms to defraud BrickStreet, West Virginia's largest workers' compensation provider.
The four companies were "employee leasing" services that supplied miners for coal companies, including Alpha Natural Resources and Patriot Coal, under agreements common in West Virginia's coal industry.
Officials from the four contracting firms paid their employees in cash, allowing them to avoid employment taxes and to hide their true payroll, a move that greatly reduced their workers' compensation premiums, records in the case show.

What are the key factors that led to the beginning of Renaissance?
2 Answers | add yours
The term 'renaissance' literally means 'rebirth.' The renaissance was a socio-cultural movement which began in Italy in the beginning of the fourteenth century and gradually spread all over Europe reaching England almost a hundred years later. Various theories have been proposed concerning its origins.
The fall of Constantinople in 1453 is usually accepted as an important reason for the beginning of the renaissance. The Ottoman Turks invaded and captured Constantinople the capital of the Byzantine empire in 1453 and closed down all the schools of higher learning. This led to a mass exodus of Greek scholars to Italy with their precious manuscripts, which in turn led to the dissemination of the Greek classical texts all over Europe which is believed to have sparked off the renaissance.

Development of Scholasticism and Crusades to recapture Jerusalem are the other two factors that led to the beginning of renaissance.

Haze is a vital indicator of our atmosphere's health … but little is known about how the amount of haze is changing globally because no-one is coordinating haze observations from widely dispersed areas. That may change with the latest design from Forrest M. Mims III … . He has invented an atmospheric haze sensor that costs less than $20 and is so simple that even the most hardened technophobe can put it together in under an hour. Mims's instrument could revolutionize this important area of study by opening the field to all-comers, that is, to amateur scientists.1
The article mentioned that Mims had written some Amateur Scientist columns in Scientific American in 1990. But it failed to mention that Scientific American refused to hire him when they found out that he was a creationist, although they admitted that his work was "fabulous", "great" and "first rate",and "should be published somewhere".2 Mims' invention is further confirmation of his ability. But no matter what one's scientific ability, denying the modern-day religion of evolution is heretical enough to justify discrimination. Even the journal Science, itself known to refuse to publish creationist views,3 wrote:
Even today, some members of the scientific establishment have seemed nearly as illiberal toward religion as the church once was to science. In 1990, for instance, Scientific American declined to hire a columnist, Forrest Mims, after learning that he had religious doubts about evolution.4
Small wonder that many creationists write under pseudonyms or otherwise hide their beliefs from the establishment.
Ironically, the founding editor of the magazine, Rufus Porter, would probably not get a job today, as he was a creationist! He wrote:
… without prejudice … let us, as rational creatures, be ever ready to acknowledge God as our Creator and Preserver.5
In fact, modern science was founded on a creationist foundation, who would probably not be hired by Scientific American if they were alive today. There are also many qualified creationist scientists in the present. See the Creationist Biographies.

- David Buckna writes in Do Creationists Publish in Notable Refereed Journals?
In the summer of 1985, Dr Russell Humphreys wrote to the journal Science pointing out that openly creationist articles are suppressed by most journals. He asked if Science had "a hidden policy of suppressing creationist letters." Christine Gilbert, the letters editor, replied and admitted, "It is true that we are not likely to publish creationist letters." This admission is particularly significant since Science's official letters policy is that they represent "the range of opinions received," i.e. letters must be representative of part of the spectrum of opinions. Yet of all the opinions they receive, Science does not print the creationist ones.

World reknown singer and songwriter Josh Groban will surely "lift up" the Fraze Pavilion on Aug. 13 during his just announced 8 p.m. show.
Members of the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra will accompany the chart-topping artist during the evening, which will feature songs from Groban's latest album, "All that Echoes."
"I think it (the concert) is going to be a wonderful draw," said Chuck Duritsch, communications and media manager for Dayton Performing Alliance. "I think they are going to sell out very quickly."
The Fraze is located at 695 Lincoln Park Blvd. in Kettering.
Tickets go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday at the new Fraze FanFare store in Town & Country Shopping Center, 300 E. Stroop Road, Kettering.
Advanced tickets range from $139 for Plaza seats to $55 for lawn & terrace. The price for lawn and terrace is $60 the day of the show. There will be a four-ticket per person limit the first day of the sale.
Duritsch said the concert has been under wraps for some time, and DPO is excited to take part.
"We have not done something with the Fraze for a couple of years, so we are really excited to be be back at the Fraze," he said.
The concert will be Groban's first appearance at the Fraze.
The 31-year-old Los Angeles native is best known for his hits "The Prayer" and "You Raise Me Up." He has sold more than 21 million records. "All That Echoes" is Groban's sixth album.

NEW YORK NURSE: December 2009
by Mark Genovese
The tough economy is stressing the budgets of counties, which are looking desperately for ways to balance their budgets. One target has been community-based primary health care. In two counties, NYSNA has taken the lead in campaigning to keep these community centers open.
NYSNA staff and members took part in a rally on Nov. 12 in downtown Buffalo to oppose planned cuts to primary healthcare services at the Jesse E. Nash Health Center and the Dr. Matt Gajewski Human Services Center.
The county executive has eliminated funds in his 2010 budget that will force the closing of these two clinics. With 22,000 visits per year, the clinics have served the poor and the under-insured for more than 30 years, helping to prevent disease by providing a variety of vital healthcare services.
More than 20 NYSNA members took part in the protest before the start of a county budget hearing. "Our point here is that this is the third poorest city in the nation," said Dennis Lindell, Erie County Medical Center (ECMC) bargaining unit president, told reporters. "Taking two clinics in the poorest part of the city and closing them down forces these people to go to ECMC for their primary care. That's going to overtax an already overburdened system."
Despite valiant efforts by members of NYSNA and the surrounding community, in mid-December Suffolk County closed its health center in Central Islip.
The closure, which was strongly opposed by the county legislature, was authorized by the New York State Department of Health on a request from County Executive Steve Levy. Levy had removed funding for the clinic from his proposed 2010 budget, which later was restored by the legislature. When he vetoed their action, they overrode the veto.
NYSNA Secretary Mary Finnin led the effort to keep the clinic open. She argued that the county's plan to send patients to the Brentwood Health Center didn't take into account the transportation issues of many patients and the severe overcrowding and understaffing that already exists at the clinic.
"Residents already complain of long waits for appointments and care at Brentwood. To transfer more than 3,500 patients will make problems worse," Finnin said.
Although no formal public hearing was held on the issue, Finnin attended every meeting of the legislature to advocate for the low-income patients who received care at Central Islip. NYSNA CEO Tina Gerardi sent a letter to the state health department expressing the association's concerns about the loss of healthcare services in Suffolk County.
The Central Islip clinic served people without health insurance and low-income populations enrolled in public programs. Finnin noted that local governments across the state are eliminating community health centers that serve the poor and uninsured, while using money collected from Medicare and Medicaid insurance fraud for other purposes. "Any money collected should be put back into the healthcare programs for which it was intended," she said.

The GMC Envoy XUV has equipment you won't find on other SUVs. A dual-function tailgate can either drop down or swing open; a glass gate behind the second row separates the passengers from the cargo (it folds flat to extend the cargo hold); an all-weather, hard-plastic cargo compartment has drainage so you can wash the area after hauling dirty stuff; and a power-sliding rear roof allows you to carry large items upright. At first, I thought the vehicle seemed like the answer to questions no one had asked, but after due consideration, it's clear that GMC has cross-pollinated a SUV with a pickup truck to create a fresh strain of ultra-versatile vehicles.
To check out the Envoy XUV's willingness to tow, we hitched up a Ski Nautique on a single-axle trailer. The test vehicle had the standard 4.2-liter DOHC in-line-6 engine-a 5.3-liter V-8 is available for an extra $1,500. The standard engine is a serious overachiever and pumps out an enthusiastic 275 hp, but lock the tach needle at the high end of its scale to enjoy reasonable performance. Without the 4,120-pound load, reaching 60 mph took 9.9 seconds; with the boat and trailer, we measured 17.6 seconds. The engine doesn't hesitate to answer a kick of the throttle, but another gear would be appreciated-the automatic transmission has only four forward speeds. Passing performance is enough to keep you apace of traffic.
Soft spring rates and gentle damping calibrations give this truck a pleasant ride. The cabin moves around a bit on its chassis, but the whole rig floats over wavy pavement surfaces like a well-engineered magic carpet. All-around comfort is outstanding.
At the ramp, there's enough forward urge to spin both rear tires. Select automatic four-wheel-drive and slippage is less than a quarter turn of the rear wheels. Fuel economy was disappointing at 8 mpg with the trailer attached, but that's what you get when towing a heavy rig with a high-revving engine.

Since updating to 7.8 on my HTC Radar c110e the BBC News Mobile live tile has stopped updating. Uninstalling the app and reinstalling it has not solved the issue. I am also having the same problem with the WPCentral live tile and Facebook live tile.
Quick update here. Now my tiles that are updated by background agents seem to be working just fine. Tiles that use push are still broken though. The funny thing is that toasts are still working just fine. So for apps that have both tile and toast notifications, the toasts come in but the tile still won't update. That kind of goes along with what Jay posted in the front page article.
Here's an interesting investigation from Heathcliff, creator of WP7 Root Tools (found via WMPowerUser):
WP7 Root Tools - Unleash the power of Windows Phone - Bad live-tiles - The saga continues
Basically he confirms that something is very wrong with WP7.8 live tiles, and that it's pretty much up to MS to fix it. - 02-14-2013, 10:43 AM #29
I have a LG Optimus 7 (Free) in Portugal, two days after the update to 7.8, most of my live tiles stop working and became static, Accuweather, XE currency, The daily beast...and so on, the only ones that still work are Engadget and WPCentral. After a Hard reset and reinstall, the problem presists.
And my music tile dont have live tile either. - 02-20-2013, 09:36 AM #30
So as far as I can tell, MS hasn't even acknowledged the issue here. Does anyone know of any communications channel that MS is listening to, so we can make sure that somebody there knows about it? Or are we 7.8 users left in the dust?
This is starting to hurt app developers too. I'm seeing bad reviews on some apps complaining that the live tiles don't work on 7.8, even though it's not the developers' fault. - 02-23-2013, 09:13 AM #37
I got an update for the 'Breaking News' app which until now never had live tiles. Well now it does, and it was obviously compiled for 7.8 as it supports double wide tiles, but more interesting is that live tiles work for this app.
As I suspected Microsoft is going to expect all developers to recompile their apps for 7.8 and use reflectance for updating Live Tiles. Absolutely incredible that they would allow this to break so badly for old apps. - 02-23-2013, 07:33 PM #39
neither is coming. MS is saying devs need to use a reflector.
I opened this thread in the Microsoft official support forum:
Please have a look, posts comments and/or click "me too". Microsoft has to do something if so many people have this problem.
maTTeoThanked by: - 02-27-2013, 02:37 PM #46
Per WMPU, MS has acknowledged the problem!

When I was in the lodging business, we had a whole lot of bogus reviews done by competitors writing bad reviews about others and glowing reviews about themselves. It is real easy to do and very hard to stop. The finicial rewards can be great and in hard times, people do desperate things. The only way for us as consumers is to read multiple reviews and throw out the worst and best.

Richard Chamberlain and the Oddly Laughing Audience - Off-Ramp for May 5, 2012
From RFK and MLK to Whitney Houston - The Merv Griffin Show archives open up
Merv Griffin (1925-2007) created Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, and those will probably be his legacy in the public's mind. But from 1965 to 1986, he hosted a daily talk show that was carried on all the major markets and featured all the personalities of the day.
Yes, over 21 years there's going to be a lot of froth, but as David Peck, the president of Reelin' In The Years discovered as he began to prepare the Merv Griffin Show archives for licensing, Griffin hosted the lasting greats as well, including Rose and Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Richard Pryor, Woody Allen, John Wayne, Joan Crawford, and a young girl who performed for the first time on television on his show: "Whitney Houston," Merv said, "Now there's a name you're not going to forget."
Peck says the Merv Griffin shows will be a treasure trove for documentarians, historians, and biographers; and there are plans to release DVDs, as well.
Dick Cavett used to write for Merv Griffin, and in 1965 alone, appeared on the show seven times. Cavett admires Griffin's business acumen, but also his stamina and ability to always be pleasant ... which of course was exactly what the home audience wanted.
1. Cavett and Peck join Off-Ramp host John Rabe for a fun interview of memories, discoveries, and rare clips of the Merv Griffin Show.
2. A medley of great Merv Griffin guests, including Whitney Houston, Woody Allen, MLK, RFK, John Wayne and Joan Crawford.
3. Merv Griffin Show 7/13/1981 - Jerry Seinfeld
4. Merv Griffin Show 12/10/1979 - Francis Ford Coppola

Buying memory to store more photos, videos and applications on a smartphone costs most consumers about $50. For Apple customers, it costs four times more than that.
The discrepancy is what consumers will find again in stores starting Sept. 20, when the world's most-valuable company begins selling its new iPhone 5s and 5c. While a 5s with 16 gigabytes of memory will cost $199 with a wireless contract, that jumps to $399 for 64 gigabytes of memory. The 5c also ranges in price depending on the amount of memory.
Apple is charging up to $200 for more memory in an iPhone even though the component has plummeted in cost since 2009. Flash costs about 60 cents per gigabyte today, down 71 percent from $2.10 per gigabyte four years ago, according to IHS iSuppli. The premium fee for memory illustrates how Apple is choosing to maintain its industry-leading profit margins over cheaper pricing for a broader audience — even if that means giving up market share to rivals.
"Apple has never followed the trend in passing along the savings," said Michael Yang, an analyst at IHS iSuppli, who researches the memory-chip business. "As long as Apple can make people pay, it will stay on this track."
The strategy is now under scrutiny from investors and analysts, who question why the Cupertino, Calif.-based company hasn't cut prices to make its products more affordable, especially as it grapples with slowing sales growth.
Investors have sent Apple's stock down 8 percent since the Sept. 10 event when the new iPhones were unveiled, partly over concerns about how high the company is pricing the gadgets. The lower-cost iPhone 5c is more than $700 in China without a wireless contract, which investors said may be too expensive for many customers there.
Natalie Kerris, a spokeswoman for Apple, declined to comment.
Flash-memory chips are semiconductors that retain data even when the power is switched off. They are used for storing music, videos and other program files. The market for the chips, dominated by Samsung Electronics Co., grew after Apple began using the parts for iPod music players, sending prices up. Costs have declined as output has increased and new production technology has lowered manufacturing expenses.
Unlike other companies such as Samsung and LG Electronics, Apple doesn't allow customers to swap out memory cards from their smartphones if they need more space. A 64-gigabyte memory card costs as little as $50 from Amazon.com and other websites.
"They can't put in upgradeable storage because they make so much money on the markup to 64 gigabyte," said Kyle Wiens, an analyst at IFixit, which performs analysis of the components within consumer electronics.
Apple's premium pricing extends to other products. An iPad with 128 gigabytes of memory costs $799, $300 more than a 16- gigabyte model.
Apple also prices a charger at $40 in its retail stores, even though it costs about $1.40 to make, according to iSuppli. Upgrading a Mac Pro desktop computer's graphics by buying a Radeon Pro 5870 card costs $449 if bought from Apple, while almost identical cards for personal computers cost about $200.
Apple has long charged more than the market rate for memory in iPhones, which are its flagship product. Yet there are growing signs customers may not be enthusiastic about paying up.
Apple's share of the $280 billion smartphone market has dropped as Samsung and others offer a wider variety of prices and designs for phones. The iPhone accounted for 13.2 percent of global smartphone shipments last quarter, compared to 17 percent a year earlier, according to researcher IDC. IPhone sales have trailed the total smartphone market for the past two quarters.
Apple is balancing high prices against market share, said Greg Sterling, an analyst at Opus Research. As a highly-regarded brand, Apple risks harming the cachet of owning one of its gadgets if it lowers the price, he said.
"They are walking a tightrope because they want to be a premium brand, but they don't want to be shut out of or marginalized like they were in the PC market when they priced themselves out of the mainstream," he said.
From the iPhone's average selling price of about $600, Apple turns about 50 percent into profit, according to Brian Marshall, an analyst at ISI Group. That has helped the company's gross margin, which stood at 37 percent last quarter compared to Samsung's 30 percent, Dell Inc.'s 18.5 percent and Hewlett- Packard Co.'s 23 percent, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
In total, Apple collected 53 percent of the global profit in the smartphone industry in the second quarter, according to Canaccord Genuity, an investment research firm.
Some consumers said they feel locked in by Apple's high pricing for memory. John Whalen, the Kennebunkport, Maine-based founder of Cider Mill Press Book Publishers, said he buys Apple gadgets with the most memory so he always has plenty of room for his content — yet he doesn't like to pay up for what is an increasingly cheap component.
"I haven't been pleased with their exceptionally high pricing for quite some time," he said.
