AP National Writer
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Michael Phelps is off playing golf and showing no signs of backtracking on his decision to retire from swimming.
That leaves a big hole on the U.S. team as it prepares for the world championships this summer and begins looking ahead to the 2016 Rio Olympics.
But don't think the Americans are suddenly going to be just another country at the pool. While there's certainly no replacing the winningest Olympian ever, the U.S. has plenty of top swimmers back from its London team, including Ryan Lochte, Missy Franklin and Allison Schmitt.
Also, there are some top prospects on the horizon, such as teenagers Ryan Murphy, Lia Neal and Kevin Cordes.
"It's time for other people to step it up," said Lochte, an 11-time Olympic medalist who plans to keep swimming at least through the Rio Games. "We've been dominant for years and years, and we're going to keep that tradition alive."
The next big meet is this summer's world championships in Barcelona, where the Americans figure to have plenty of star power even without Phelps.
On the men's side is Lochte, who won five medals in London and recently resumed full-time training after wrapping production of his reality television show. While admittedly not in the best shape, which was evident from his lackluster performance at the Charlotte Grand Prix this past weekend, his passion for swimming hasn't waned a bit.
"As long as I'm stepping on the blocks, I'm going to race," Lochte said. "Throughout these Grand Prix meets, I've been getting a little better. I still have two more meets after this (in Canada and California) to really work on the little things before world trials. A month ago, I was a little nervous. But now, I'm feeling better."
The women, meanwhile, figure to be led by their two biggest stars from the last Olympics, Franklin and Schmitt.
Franklin just turned 18 and is finishing up her senior year of high school in Colorado. After her remarkable performance in London, where she swam in seven events and claimed five medals, there's no doubt that she's most likely to fill much of the void left by Phelps.
The vivacious teenager is eager to take a leadership role on the national team.
"Being able to go the Olympics and (2007) world championships has given me some awesome insight," she said. "I'm always going to be there for my teammates if they have a question or need some help or just need someone to tell them, 'It's OK. Don't worry. Don't be intimidated. You're going to do great.' That's what I'm here for. That's my job now."
Not that she expects to match Phelps' performance in the pool. After all, he won more gold medals (18) and total medals (22) than anyone in Olympic history.
It will be tough for any swimmer, even one with Franklin's immense talent, to take such a dominant role on the American team. The key now is to develop more depth in the program so the overall production doesn't slide.
"It's impossible to replace Michael Phelps. No one will ever replace him," Franklin said. "But it's incredible to have so many great young swimmers coming up."
Franklin plans to remain an amateur for two more years while swimming at the University of California, then turn professional a year before the Rio Olympics. Schmitt also passed on the chance to cash in on her performance in London, where she won three golds and a silver, returning for her senior year at the University of Georgia.
After leading the Bulldogs to the women's national championship, the 22-year-old finally turned pro before the Charlotte meet. She's also resumed training with Bob Bowman, who was Phelps' longtime mentor and will be leading the U.S. men's team at the world championships.
Going back to college was the right move for Schmitt, who hopes to start challenging in the 100 freestyle after competing in the 200 and 400 free in London.
"It was definitely a different atmosphere," she said. "People say the Olympics are a high, and I had trouble coming back down from them. But having the team there for me, supporting me the whole way, and jumping back into the college season definitely helped me out a lot."
Murphy hasn't even gotten to college yet, but he's already one of the rising stars for the next Olympic cycle.
Only 17, he challenged for a spot on the 2012 team, finishing fourth in the 200-meter backstroke and sixth in the 100 back at last summer's U.S. trials, where the top two finishers made it to London. Now a senior at Bolles High School in Jacksonville, Fla., Murphy expects to keep progressing in the back -- his best stroke -- and could become a factor in both freestyle and butterfly by the time of the Rio Games.

The Associated Press
No. 1 is done.
The fun at the NCAA tournament, though, is far from over. Half the Sweet 16 spots are settled with eight more to be decided Sunday.
Top-ranked Gonzaga became the first No. 1 seed to be eliminated Saturday night, shocked 76-70 by sharp-shooting Wichita State. Cleanthony Early and Ron Baker scored 16 points apiece, and the Shockers made a season-high 14 3-pointers, including five straight late, as they advanced to the round of 16 for the first time in seven years.
"They never quit," Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall said. "You know we got the big lead, Gonzaga makes a great run as a No. 1 team in the country would, and these guys dig down."
Elsewhere, Harvard's first winning trip to the tournament ended at the hands of Arizona, and Butler ran out of magic against Marquette. Both Michigan and Michigan State advanced to the round of 16, 12th seeded Oregon beat St. Louis, Syracuse defeated California in what was essentially a road win for the Orange and overall No. 1 Louisville showed no sign of slowing against Colorado State.
Though Gonzaga was ranked No. 1 in the AP Top 25 for the last three weeks of the season, some questioned whether the small school from the small conference really belonged at the top of the West Region. When the Bulldogs nearly became the first No. 1 to lose to a 16th seed, eking out a win over little Southern on Thursday, the doubters grew.
There are no questions now.
Gonzaga (32-3) fought back after falling behind by 13 early, and a 12-0 run gave the Bulldogs a 49-41 lead with 11:53 left to play. But Wichita State (28-8) outscored the Zags 35-21 from there.
Tekele Cotton, Early and Baker hit three straight 3s to pull the Shockers within 61-60, and Baker gave Wichita State the lead for good with a pair of free throws with 3:10 left. Another 3 by Baker and one more from freshman Fred VanVleet sealed it with 1:28 remaining.
The Shockers were a blistering 50 percent from beyond the arc.
"They deserve a ton of credit," Gonzaga coach Mark Few said. "It's the first time in a while someone made 50 percent on us, and to bang in 14 3s is pretty amazing."
Wichita State will face the winner of Sunday's game between La Salle and Ole Miss on Thursday in Los Angeles. The Bulldogs, meanwhile, head home, failing to survive the first weekend of the tournament for a fourth straight year and sixth time in seven years. Gonzaga has not reached the regional finals since 1999.
Kelly Olynyk led Gonzaga with 26 points and Kevin Pangos added 19.
"I think we just ... let our guard down a little bit," said Gonzaga's Mike Hart. "That was key. We defended so well at the start of the second half, then we just lost some guys. You can't do that when guys get it going."
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Arizona put an emphatic end to Harvard's March Madness success story.
Mark Lyons matched his career high with 27 points to lead the sixth-seeded Wildcats (27-7). Arizona sprinted to a 30-9 lead, as the Crimson (20-10) missed 20 of their first 22 shots.
Lyons led Arizona to the program's 15th appearance in the Sweet 16. The Wildcats will play Iowa State or Ohio State next week in Los Angeles.
Harvard, meanwhile, goes home with its first NCAA win in tow. The 14th-seeded Crimson beat third-seeded New Mexico on Thursday but couldn't recreate the magic.
Kenyatta Smith led Harvard with 10 points. Freshman Siyani Chambers lost part of his front tooth after Arizona's Kevin Parrom elbowed him in the face.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) -- Vander Blue scored 19 second-half points to rally third-seeded Marquette out of another hole, and the Golden Eagles beat No. 6 Butler to reach the round of 16.
Like November's first meeting between the teams at the Maui Invitational, won 72-71 by Butler on Rotnei Clarke's buzzer-beating 3-pointer, this was a back-and-forth, high-intensity affair that came down to the final shot.
Only this time, Butler missed.
Marquette (25-8) will meet the winner of Sunday's game between Illinois and Miami on Thursday in the regional semifinals in Washington, D.C.
Blue, who made a last-second layup to beat Davidson in Marquette's first tournament game, scored 29 points.
Clarke's 24 points led Butler (28-9).
After Jamil Wilson's two free throws made it 71-69, Davante Gardner deflected Clarke's pass intended for Kellen Dunham underneath and then made the first of three late free throws for a 74-70 lead with 4.7 seconds left.

Frozen Mallet or Rylai's on AP Teemo?
FM gives lots of health, a little AD for those many auto attacks and a great slow.
Rylai's gives a good amount of health, a good amount of AP and a decent slow on the Blind and more slow for the Shrooms.
I haven't build either on AP Teemo yet, and am curious as to which would be better? They both seem fairly good.
Edit: Clarified the Rylai's benefits.
Just delete Teemo. ;_;
i dont think ry applys on your auto-attack
so if it infact doesnt and you are looking for a slow over more poison damage, go for fm, if you want no slow (assuming it doesnt work on the auto-attack ability) but higher poison damage then go for ry
None of the above?
Rylais doesn't apply on your auto.
Why the downvote? I know I'm right. Brb finding proof.
I think Rylais procs a lesser slow on the dot, but I could be wrong
FM works better early-mid game, where you can actually auto attack and not explode.
Eventually, though, there will be a point where it's dangerous to be even near auto attack range, in which case rylais help more due to shrooms and q.
Also, rylais doesn't apply on poison, since it's an on-hit effect.
Rylais doesn't apply slow on auto. Frozen mallet does. And it gives more hp.No escape from fro mallet teemo.
Toxic Shot does not proc spell vamp and Rylai's slow
FM is always better. AP Teemo's ratios are stupid high at the moment and you can afford to have a more powerful and reliable slow on a slightly tankier item over 80 more AP.

How to change the light blue colors in EVERYTHING!
Hi everyone. My first post.
Here is a sample of what I am trying to explain plus a screen shot of my settings
1. Photoshop windows are blue
2. Personalise window left menu background is blue
I have come from XP where all you did was change your windows colour under APPEARANCE. In 7 under Window color and appearance, I have set all the windows to my color choices, however, as you will see from the screenshot above, I still see blue colors.
In FF3.6 all the taps and my bookmarks tool bar are blue as well. http://ideaswoman.com/mauve.gif . I have since added glasser add-on to FF but the tabs are still blue.
I am hoping that I have missed something in the customisation of 7.

I would like to know how to customise all the windows of Windows 7, as per my screen shot http://ideaswoman.com/windows.gif
Can this be done or does everyone see blue windows
|My System Specs

Windows 8 Pro / Windows 7 Home Premium x64 dual boot
I think I may know what you are trying to say , you want all application windows to be the same color i.e.: as in the photoshop example you have shown .
, as I can see the screen of photoshop is in a blue window.
From your info I can see that you are running Windows 7 home premium , I am going to assume for now it is a 32 bit OS .
The way that you adjust the transparent colors of your windows is to right click the desktop and select "personalize" , then "window color" at the bottom of the window , after you select the color you want , click "save changes" .
That is what controls the color and / or tansparency of all your open windows , including applications .
Now since you are running Winows 7 Home Premium which does support Aero the only thing that may be the problem from displaying all windows with transparency is Ram ...... how much ram are you running ?
The reason I ask is because anything less than 1.5 to 2 gigs of ram and you are going to have problems with the Aero ( transparancy ) effects in windows , especially on a 32 bit system.
If I have answered your question and the ram is the problem I would suggest upgrading to more ram , at the very least least 2 gigs . Ram is cheap , you can get 1 gig sticks these days for $30 (U.S.) if you look around .
I hope this answered your question .
|My System Specs
|28 Feb 2010
Thanks. I have 4gb of RAM and I though Aero was supported by Home Premium. Windows 7 features - Aero - Microsoft Windows
I have already set my windows colors however, the chosen colors do not appear. I tried a non-aero theme and changed the windows colors and appearance and still it did not change.
I really must be missing a setting as I cannot believe Microsoft would not allow you to change windows colors.
|My System Specs
|28 Feb 2010
|My System Specs

The only way is to give up your Aero theme, then under Performance Options, deselect use visual styles on windows and buttons.
Now that is a real shame you have not got any control under Aero.

The only thing I might suggest is you have a read of this - Window Color and Appearance - Change

Del Potro Withdraws From Indian Wells
Indian Wells, U.S.A.
by Staff|
Juan Martin del Potro withdrew on Sunday from the BNP Paribas Open due to a left wrist injury.
"It's still hurting a lot," said del Potro. "I'm not feeling 100 per cent. I'm not in good condition to compete."
The 25-year-old Del Potro finished runner-up to Rafael Nadal in last year's Indian Wells final.
Del Potro was replaced in the draw by lucky loser James Ward, who will now play Feliciano Lopez in the second round.
Del Potro tested his left wrist on Saturday in a doubles match with Marin Cilic. The pair lost to seventh seeds Daniel Nestor and Nenad Zimonjic 4-6, 6-3, 10-8.
"I feel the same pain every day and it bothers me a lot," he said. "I'm trying to be very careful."
World No. 7 Del Potro retired due to the same injury, after losing the first set 7-6(3) against Somdev Devvarman, in the first round of last week's Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

Anyone watching this weekend's Australian Grand Prix may notice the Infiniti sponsorship on the Red Bull cars piloted by multiple champion Sebastian Vettel and Australian Daniel Ricciardo.
The Nissan-owned Japanese brand hasn't enjoyed anything like the sales success the formula one team it sponsors has on the track.
For 2014 there's a "new" model range, much of which is old but with new names. Combined with recently more realistic pricing it makes for a more compelling reason to at least consider something new - a big part of the Infiniti sales pitch.
Infiniti Q50 S Premium Hybrid
Infiniti Q50 S Premium Hybrid.
The Q50 (all models now get a Q or QX followed by two numbers that denote the size and shape) is Infiniti's new mid-sized sedan to take on the volume end of the luxury market dominated by the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 3-Series and Audi A4.
While it doesn't have the heritage and cachet of those rivals, it does have driving input from four-time F1 champion Vettel, now the brand's "performance director".
What do you get?
There are three main trim levels for the Q50 - GT, S and S Premium. All are available with a four-cylinder diesel engine, while the petrol V6 hybrid drivetrain can be had as an S or S Premium. Later this year expect a new turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine.
In line with a brand still trying to establish itself, the name of the game is packing plenty of equipment in. Each comes with leather trim, smart key entry with push button start, reversing camera, parking sensors front and rear, Bluetooth, satellite-navigation, powered and heated front seats, dual-zone automatic airconditioning, auto wipers, cruise control, alloy wheels and six airbags (dual front, front-side and side curtain). There are also more efficient LED lights and digital radio. The run-flat tyres can be driven after a puncture but then generally require replacement.
It's a high level of equipment for a car priced from $51,900 (plus on-road and dealer costs) as the entry-level GT diesel.
S models ($57,900 for the diesel, $67,900 for the hybrid) add a sunroof, adaptive steering with self-steering "lane control" and an excellent Bose sound system with noise cancelling to hush the cabin.
The S Premium ($61,900 for a diesel, $73,900 for the hybrid) picks up radar cruise control, auto high beams, blind-spot warning and forward collision warning with auto braking. The hybrid tested gets four-wheel-drive. A most interesting feature for the flagship is the Back-up Collision Intervention, which can brake when reversing to avoid objects and people.
Not so good is the predicted resale by Glass's Guide; at 41 per cent it's significantly below key rivals.
What's inside?
The two colour touchscreens in the centre stack seem like overkill, especially when one larger screen would do the trick. It also takes familiarisation to work out which screen does what. The upper sat-nav screen is controlled with a central knob and can adjust everything from phone functions to the audio system, but it's the lower screen that better performs those functions by touch and the three fixed menu buttons. The two are independently adjustable for brightness and contrast, and the driver's instrument cluster has a third brightness controller.
The Q50 is also a car of many beeps, from the muted reversing warning for pedestrians to a particularly persistent tone that reminds you you've removed your seatbelt and turned the car off.
A detailed trip computer - including a separate odometer for how long the car has driven purely on electric power (about one-third of the overall driving) - misses out on a digital speedo, which would be a handy addition given the 10km/h increments in the analogue speedo.
Otherwise, the Q50 is a classy machine, with tinges of bluey-purple reinforcing the branding. There are also classy aluminium finishes, including a patterned texture, which combine with embossed leather and quality touches.
Not so good is the clunky foot-operated park brake; it's supposed to free up space in the centre console but there's only a covered console, twin cupholders and a smaller binnacle. The boot is modest, losing 20 per cent on regular Q50s because of the batteries for the hybrid system, which also eliminates the ability to fold the seats.
Under the bonnet
A 3.5-litre V6 is mated to a 50kW electric motor to provide above average propulsion for the flagship Q50, claimed to blast to 100km/h in 5.4 seconds. Acceleration is brisk and hearty, tapping into a healthy 268kW combined output. But it's the 546Nm of torque that is most useful, much of it from the electric motor at lower revs. It's driven through a seven-speed auto that is rarely wrongfooted, only occasionally grabbing on a downshift.
There's also a driver mode toggle switch, which scrolls between Personal, Sport, Standard, Eco and Snow modes. You can also tweak the active lane control function (which includes mild self-steering functionality at freeway speeds) and turn on the active trace control, which is a performance-focused extension of the stability control system to improve steering response and better settle the
car in higher speed manoeuvres.
In Eco mode the main change is slower responses and a firmer accelerator pedal feel that just feels odd. Sport is more active but can occasionally be too sensitive, making Standard the most useful for most applications.
While the performance equation is strong you can expect to use close to 9 litres per 100 kilometre of fuel in everyday driving, higher than the claimed 7.2L/100km official average. Unusually, the diesel is more economical than the hybrid (5.1L/100km).
On the road
Infiniti pitches itself as a sporty and high tech luxury alternative, something Vettel reinforces. A world first steer-by-wire system (electronics and a mechanical back-up) allows the driver to adjust the steering ratio and feel.
In any mode it's very sensitive to steering inputs, something Vettel no doubt had a hand in. It takes some acclimatising around town but is more useful in bends. In Sport mode, though, there's a noticeably firmer feel, something that is slightly artificial but otherwise reassuring through faster bends.
Still, the Q50 is an engaging machine and one that feels composed at speed and competent when pushed. One of the most useful features is the rear auto braking feature, which while it can kick in when you don't want it, has genuine potential to avoid reversing crashes.
The Q50 is the most convincing effort yet from Infiniti with solid dynamic ability and value. There are flaws, such as the sometimes confusing control screens and small boot, but they're not deal breakers. Perhaps the biggest challenge with the Q50 will be convincing buyers to make the leap to a brand that lacks the all-important reputation of better known luxury brands.

This past Tuesday the NFL unveiled the new Nike uniforms for all 32 teams. Most all looked about the same, except for the Seattle Seahawks and our own Carolina Panthers.

It was great to see the new look, but what I kept wondering was whether we would see Stewart on a number 28 Panthers jersey this season.

On the Thursday, November 20 transmission of Infowars Live, guest hosts David Knight and Paul Joseph Watson walk us through the latest on Obama's promise to unilaterally pass an executive order legalizing millions of illegal immigrants, a plan which one US senator warns could lead to anarchy and violence. We'll also get on-the-ground updates from reporters Joe Biggs and Jakari Jackson regarding the situation in Ferguson, Mo., where demonstrators are anticipating a controversial grand jury decision... which could also lead to anarchy and violence. On today's show, Infowars invites Love Thy Neighbor founder Arnold Abbott to discuss why his organization continues feeding the homeless, despite multiple police citations ordering them not to. Health guru Anthony Gucciardi also joins the show to explore the possibility that an ebola crisis may be concealed from the public. We'll also take your calls on this global broadcast.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is an outstanding school!!! As a parent and a teacher myself I am so comforted to know my son is going to an excellent school. Guided reading program allows each child to grow at there own pace! Excellent teachers . principal has great repore with his students. Rock on!!!
This is the best school by far the teachers were there at all times and the Principal knew the children and the parents very involved I wish the scool would go to the 6th grade.
This school does not have a structured language program for reading. The children are given small readers with pictures and the teachers do not have writing materials and other written props to go along with the books. So it is more difficult for the children to learn to write and read. There is no continuity between the different books to build vocabulary. In addition, they have a policy of assigning a reading teacher but the teachers are rotated every 3-4 weeks so by the time one teacher learns the abilities of a student, the student is passed on to the next teacher. The math program is also sorely lacking. This school is part of an Abott school district in need of improvement as measured by the No Child Left Behind Policy but the school administrators and teachers are not open to suggestions from parents for improvements.
What more can you say about a school when your daughter says 3 or 4 times a week 'I am so happy I am in 1st grade!' She wakes up with a smile every morning when I tell her she has to go to school, she can't wait to do her homework (they do not give too much) and all the teachers there are great.

LINCHENG, China (AP) - Neighbors in this lush but poor farm village say Wu Jianming seemed like a good, quiet man. They struggle now to understand how he could fly into a rage over unpaid rent, slashing and killing seven preschoolers and two adults with a cleaver.
Neighbors heard screams early Wednesday coming from a preschool run out of Wu's two-story farmhouse, then heard Wu shout: "They owed me rent!" Police and rescue officials who rushed to the scene found more than a dozen dead or injured students, the school's administrator nearly decapitated and her 80-year-old mother barely clinging to life. Wu was in his home nearby, dead after apparently slashing his own throat.
The case shocked China, prompting leaders to again call for increased school security. It was the deadliest of five such school rampages in less than two months.
Sociologists say the recent attacks that have left 17 dead and scores wounded reflect the tragic consequences of ignoring mental illness and rising stress resulting from huge social inequalities in China's fast-changing society.
Zhen Xiulan, 71, lives a short walk away from the preschool and said she knew Wu his entire life. She can't reconcile her image of Wu with the blood-spattered scene she saw after the killings. Zhen said the children had massive head gashes.
"This kid was very honest and didn't talk much," Zhen said of Wu. "He had a very soft and gentle personality and didn't have mental problems that we knew of. None of us would ever have imagined he would do something so terrible." She said Wu had two children as well as two younger brothers.
What drove him to violence, another neighbor said, was a dispute over his yellow farmhouse at the foot of Lincheng, a softly sloping village on the outskirts of Hanzhong city that overlooks a deep green patchwork of rapeseed crops and magnolia trees.
"He wanted his place back and they weren't paying him enough money," said neighbor Yang Yuanyong. Yang said the seeds of the dispute were sown when the local village head sold the land where the local public preschool used to be and then arranged to have a new private preschool set up in Wu's farmhouse. It was unclear why the land was sold. Wu complained the rent wasn't being paid and repeatedly demanded the school leave his property, but they kept delaying, Yang said. Local officials refused to intervene, he said.
A rusty merry-go-round stood silently in the Shengshui Temple Kindergarten's inner courtyard. Hanzhong, a city of about 4 million people, bears the signs of a recent flood of investment, including a new cinema, several high-rise hotels and a smattering of fast food chain restaurants like Baskin Robbins and KFC.
But Lincheng, about a 20-minute drive away, remains rural and poor. Most young adults have left to find work elsewhere, villagers said, leaving children and the elderly to tend the fields and raise the chickens. Wu's neighbors sympathized strongly with his money woes and criticized the local government for closing the public preschool.
But they had no way of explaining how a land dispute, common in nearly every county in China, could spiral into such a deadly killing spree or why children should be the main victims. Wang Xiaoming, 27, a local farmer whose 1-year-old son is not yet in school, shrugged helplessly.
"For us Chinese, it's such a shameful thing how he could hack at so many people, so many innocent children," he said, sitting on his tractor and staring up at the school cordoned off in bright yellow police tape. "It's not something any of us could ever have imagined." He didn't know Wu personally. He also said he wasn't worried about local school security because the odds of such an attack happening again seemed so remote.
But others are very concerned. Chinese sociologists say there could be a copycat element to the sudden explosion of school stabbings, with disturbed people inspired by media reports of other killings.
The attackers in recent cases have all been men in their thirties or forties, most of them out of work. Knives and hammers are the preferred weapons - guns are tightly controlled in China and obtaining them is virtually impossible.
It was not clear whether Wu knew of the other recent attacks. His neighbors said they were vaguely aware but unclear about the details. To help calm public fears in a country where population control policies limit many families to just one child, the government issued an urgent order Wednesday for even tighter safety measures at schools, including private ones.
At the 3201 Hospital in Hanzhong city where six of the 11 most severely injured children were being treated, administrator Cui Xiangbin said the injuries, and his staff's response, were like nothing he had experienced in his 27-year career at the hospital.
Nurses and doctors openly wept as they stitched the wounded and cleaned the dead, Cui said. The elderly mother of school manager Wu Hongying, Su Runhua, died heading into surgery.
"We've never seen anything like this before, never," said Cui, visibly shaken. "When we saw the mothers in pain who had lost their children, all of us were in tears."

New iPods Coming From HP
Posted by Hector Martinez Categories: Corporate News, Portable Audio / Video
Thanks to a licensing deal announced back in January, you'll soon be able to aquire an HP-branded iPod, simply dubbed: "The Apple iPod from HP". The unit is pretty much a replica of Apple's latest 20-gig and 40-gig models - but will carry the HP brand instead. As part of the deal, HP will sell photo labels which will allow users to choose and print their own art, or select from a variety from artists HP has partnered with, and "wrap" the tattoo-like stickers around their iPods, for a unique look. The deal was to help Apple penetrate even deeper into consumer markets by leveraging HP's distribution capabilities.

Ever hear the term "Barriers of Entry?" We all knew Microsoft had an uphill battle by trying to take on software giant, Electronics Arts. The result: Microsoft recently shut down its Sports Game Studio in Redmond, Wash., signalling an end to the "NFL Fever", "NBA Inside Drive" basketball and "NHL Rivals" franchises. You may have seen this coming by the way, since EA and Microsoft had already reached agreements to allow EA's sports franchises to be playable on the XBox Live online gaming experience. In related news, Microsoft's separate studio in Utah that develops individual sports games, such as the "Amped" snowboarding title, is not affected by the staff cuts.

Global shares fall, euro slides as Monti deepens Italy uncertainty
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Marc Jones | December 10, 2012 9:49 PM EST
The euro slipped towards a two-week low on Monday while shares and Italian bond prices also fell after Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti's decision to resign deepened euro zone uncertainty.
Monti announced over the weekend he would resign once the 2013 budget is approved, raising questions over who will take the reins of the euro zone's third largest economy after elections expected in February.
Top European shares on the FTSEurofirst 300 index <.FTEU3> were down 0.5 percent by 5 a.m. EDT with a 3.5 percent fall on Milan's Ftse Mib <.FTMIB> and 2 percent on Madrid's IBEX <.IBEX> flanked by smaller falls in London <.FTSE>, Paris <.FCHI> and Frankfurt <.DAX>.
The euro was down over 0.2 percent at $1.2898, trading towards a two-week low of $1.2876 on Friday, and Italian bonds fell sharply, with yields on benchmark 10-year debt up 27 basis points at 4.82 percent.
"It is disappointing as Monti had gained significant credibility in the markets over the last 12 months and now the whole thing is being questioned," said Audrey Childe-Freeman at BMO Capital Markets in London.
Government bonds of Spain, the other major euro zone economy deep in crisis, also fell and the cost of insuring both Italian and Spanish debt against default rose.
Poor economic data compounded the jitters. French industrial output was much weaker than expected in October and tepid export growth reduced Germany's trade surplus to its lowest level in over half a year.
This pointed to more than a brief, shallow economic dip as Germany's euro zone export markets struggle.
"Besides weak industrial output this is another bleak piece of data that points to contraction in the fourth quarter - and a proper contraction at that," said Thomas Hessler, an economist at HSBC Trinkaus said of the German trade data.
Balancing the European concerns, data from China showed factory output in the world's number two economy accelerated to an eight-month high in November. The upbeat figures followed a surprise drop in U.S. unemployment figures on Friday and allowed investors to look past some more disappointing Chinese trade data.
Copper prices hit their highest in almost two months on the Chinese data, gold firmed 0.2 percent to around $1,707 an ounce and oil snapped five straight days of losses to climb back above $107 a barrel.
"It does appear, based on the evidence of the data, that the Chinese economy has bottomed out," said Ben Le Brun, a market analyst at OptionsXpress in Sydney.
In contrast to the later European gloom, Asian equity investors pushed MSCI's broadest index of Asia Pacific shares outside Japan <.MIAPJ0000PUS> to a fresh 16-month high.
Back in currency markets, the dollar rose about 0.3 percent against a basket of major currencies due to the euro's weakness <.DXY> although an expected announcement later this week of more Federal Reserve bond buying limited the gains.
Wall Street looked set for a weak open with futures for the S&P 500 indicating a 0.25 percent fall and the Dow seen down 0.1 percent.

Rap star DMX has been released from an Arizona state prison after serving an extra week behind bars for failing a drug test while incarcerated.
Arizona Department of Corrections spokesman Bill Lamoreaux says family members were at the facility in Yuma to pick up the multi-platinum selling recording artist Tuesday.
DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, was given a year in prison in December after his probation was revoked for failing to submit to drug testing and driving on a suspended license.
The 40-year-old Simmons was credited with 117 days he had already served.
Simmons had been earning 20 cents an hour as a porter.
DMX will need to spend at least another week incarcerated at Arizona State Prison. X was jailed on November 19th 2010, for violating his parole and was held on a number of charges, the principal being drug use. He was sentenced to serve one year with no chance of bail. In mid-May, it was announced that the artist could be getting off earlier than expected, if he met the terms for good behavior. That date was officially set for July 13th.
New reports suggest the MC hasn't met those terms. Since January, DMX has managed to accumulate seven disciplinary violations at the prison, some of which include: unauthorized smoking, disrespect towards staff, possession of narcotics and disorderly conduct.
The man behind the chart toppers, Party Up and Who We Be, has had his share of run-ins with the law, starting in 1994 with an arrest for drug possession, and in 1998 a rape charge, which he was acquitted for due to DNA evidence. The charges have accumulated since that time, the latest being a 2009 conviction for animal cruelty and drug possession, and a 90 day jail sentence in 2010 for a reckless driving charge.
DMX has been working on his 7th album, Redemption Of The Beast, for over a year now. He'll be collaborating with artists like Sean Kingston, The LOX, Tyrese, as well as known producers Scott Storch, Swizz Beatz, and Dame Grease.
A spokesman for the Arizona Department of Corrections has confirmed an anticipated release date of July 19th for DMX.

A lot of rumors having been floating around about DMX and his post-prison release plans, where the rapper would sign and even whom he might marry.
In an interview with VIBE, X clears the record about the personal matter of his love life. DMX tells the magazine that he in fact in not engaged to model Yadira Borrego.
"No! We absolutely were living together, and at one time we were engaged," X told the publication. "But um, no. I'm recalling that she wants to work it out, but I really don't see that happening. I'm not going say it won't work, but this last time in jail, with me focusing on the mental, allowed me to see who's there for me and who's not. It's easy to say, 'I got your back. I'm there for you.' But when it comes down to it, like I said, I'm not even talking about money and things like that. I'm good. I got fans sending me money. I'm good with that."
X's most recent prison stint has drastically altered his perspective on life and has him wanting to make changes.
"In a way, yeah. I realized that [change] is something that I want do this time," X answered when asked if he's learned his lesson following his latest stint in prison. "Like the last few times I couldn't wait to get out and go have a drink. Like all my focus was on going to the club or things of that nature. Now, I'm in a frame of mind where I'm like 'right into the studio and get my grind on.'"
DMX is currently scheduled to be released from jail on July 13.

A quality, condom-safe lubricant that keeps a man's most important weapon well oiled! Developed by marines for marines!
Gun Oil is made from Dimethicone, which is the highest grade form of silicone. It is highly concentrated and long lasting so a little goes a long way.
During Operation Desert Storm, Marines lubed up with actual military-issue "CLP" (cleans, lubricates, protects) in the sands of the Kuwait battlefields. One of those marines developed this high tech formula.
