Amazon has taken another step at reducing Apple's hold over on-device music sales, announcing the launch of its HTML5 MP3 web store specifically for iPhone and iPod touch, offering 22 million tracks via a specially formatted mobile website. The online retailer says that it has developed its MP3 store to operate seamlessly on Apple's Safari mobile browser, offering personalised recommendations, bestseller lists and Amazon ratings. When a user makes a purchase, it is automatically transferred to their Amazon Cloud Player account (which holds 5GB of free storage) and can be played back using the Cloud Player mobile apps, which are available on the iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, Kindle Fire, Android smartphone or tablet, Roku, Sonos system, or any web browser.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to mak...

Mackinac Bridge Authority
Authority overview | |
Formed | 1950 |
Jurisdiction | Mackinac Bridge |
Headquarters | N415 Interstate 75, St. Ignace, Michigan 45°50′53″N 84°43′24″W / 45.8481°N 84.7232°W |
Authority executives | Chairman, William H. Gnodtke Executive Secretary, Bob Sweeney |
Website | www |
The Mackinac Bridge Authority is an independent state agency of the U.S. state of Michigan that operates the Mackinac Bridge across the Straits of Mackinac.
The Mackinac Bridge Authority was created in 1950 to study the feasibility of constructing a suspension bridge to connect Michigan's Lower Peninsula with its Upper Peninsula.[1] The MBA was empowered by legislation in 1952 "to issues revenue bonds ' for the purpose of paying for the cost of a bridge.'"[2] The authority managed the bridge's construction from 1954 until 1957, and has overseen the operation of the bridge since its opening on November 1, 1957, although the authority was originally scheduled for dissolution in 1986 after the last of the bonds were to be paid in full.[3]
The Mackinac Bridge Authority has been directed by the state of Michigan to maintain the Mackinac Bridge as a self-supporting facility. The Mackinac Bridge is a toll bridge, with the tolls set at a level determined by the authority and its governing board.
Members of the governing board of the Mackinac Bridge Authority are appointed by the Governor of Michigan.[4] The MBA is an independent state agency responsible for the Mackinac Bridge and thus maintains that section of the overall State Trunkline Highway System. The MBA works with the Michigan Department of Transportation but does not report to it. The executive secretary of the MBA is appointed by MDOT with MBA approval, and the MDOT director serves on the board.[5] William Gnodtke has been the chairman of the board since 2002,[6] and the executive secretary is Bob Sweeney.[4]

PARIS - When Marat Safin's around, watch out!
Not even he has any idea when he will toss a racket, swat a miraculous shot, go off on a rant or ... lose a point for mooning the crowd?
Yes, Safin did all that and more on his circuitous route to the French Open's third round, somehow managing to both embellish and upstage his two-day, 412-hour victory against Felix Mantilla that closed Friday with an 11-9 fifth set.
On an afternoon when two of the top 10 women lost, including a semifinalist from last year, this rollicking major did try to resurrect a bit of normalcy. Four leading contenders won in straight sets to reach the round of 16: No. 3 Guillermo Coria, 1998 champion Carlos Moya, No. 3 Amelie Mauresmo and No. 5 Lindsay Davenport.
Safin, though, kept everyone on their toes, including tournament officials who debated whether to fine him for two offenses - and must have loved his thoughts about how they're ruining tennis.
His match was suspended by darkness Thursday night at 7-7 in the final set. Early in that set, he and Mantilla engaged in a fantastic exchange that ended with both near the net. Safin claimed the point by scooping over a drop shot at a seemingly impossible angle.
To celebrate, the 2000 U.S. Open champion grabbed his white shorts, tugged them to his thighs and leaned over, his long shirt providing cover. It appeared he wore underwear that remained in place.
The Russian drew laughter and applause from a standing-room-only crowd.
"This point really deserved that," Safin said. "Nobody complained. Everybody was OK."
Everybody, perhaps, except chair umpire Carlos Bernardes Jr., who earlier warned Safin for throwing a racket (which drew a $500 fine Friday) and now penalized him a point (no fine, though). Safin argued, then sarcastically applauded the ruling.
"They tried to destroy the match," he said.
Davenport thought Safin's antics shouldn't have cost him a point.
"It was a little uncalled for," she said after beating Marissa Irvin 6-1, 6-4. "He definitely wasn't doing it in a fit of anger. They're always telling us to lighten up, anyway."
When Mantilla sailed a backhand long to fix the final score at 6-4, 2-6, 6-2, 6-7 (4), 11-9 after 24 minutes of play Friday, the opponents hugged at the net. Safin was in a far worse mood after.
"All of the people who run the sport, they have no clue. It's a pity that the tennis is really going down the drain," he said.
French Open
Today's TV Coverage: 11 a.m. by NBC (KAMR); 2 p.m. by ESPN.
A few minutes later, came this: "They do everything possible to, you know, just to take away the entertainment. You're not allowed to do that. You're not allowed to do this. You're not allowed to speak whenever you want to speak. You're not allowed to do many things. ...
"Every year, it's getting worse, worse and worse. I don't know where we're going to end up like this. It cannot go like this anymore. It has to be a radical change."
Grand Slam Committee administrator Bill Babcock understood Safin's concerns about keeping flavor in the sport - while also noting that chair umpires need to keep matches under control.
"When it steps past passion, either to obscenity or unsportsmanlike conduct, the rules have to make a stand," Babcock said.
Safin, never shy about expressing his emotions on court or opinions off it, did assure everyone his sport will survive.
"No matter what happens, tennis is still tennis. You can see a lot of great matches, a lot of new people," he said. "It's doing well."
Indeed, the benefit of a major tournament filled with surprising results is this: When well-known players such as Andre Agassi or Andy Roddick depart early, others get a chance to step into the spotlight.
Like Potito Starace, the 220th-ranked qualifier who eliminated No. 10 Sebastien Grosjean and will play Safin today.

Road Not Taken Free PS4 Update is Out Now on PlayStation 4
11w ago
- Spry Fox CEO
David Edery
announced that the Road Not Taken free PS4 update is out now on PlayStation 4 with details below!
To quote: Hi folks! We're pleased to announce the first major (free!) update to Road Not Taken is hitting your PS4s now! There's a lot of goodies in here, the most notable of which include:
•�"Easier" mode and hard mode: many people have told us that while they love the original gameplay and the art in Road Not Taken, the game is simply too difficult for them. After chewing on this feedback for a while, we decided to split the game into two modes, Normal and Hard.
"Hard" is basically our original mode with just a few tweaks; "Normal" is a new mode that is more generous with energy and has less crowded (and therefore less difficult) rooms, among other changes.
In addition, checkpoints are now less punishing to use (in both modes), so players who felt like they were pointless before will hopefully find them more of a tempting gamble now.
•�New "just for fun" Timed Mode: try to rescue all the kids within four minutes! You lose time whenever you take damage, and you add time to the clock whenever you eat food and rescue children. Timed Mode has no impact on your career, so it's a great way to enjoy Road Not Taken for a few minutes with limited...

Sony on How Battlefield Hardline PS4 Takes Cues from Hollywood
25w ago
- Sony Content Producer
Tom Wallis
shared details today on how Battlefield Hardline on PS4 and PS3 takes cues from Hollywood below.
To quote: Battlefield Hardline made a big splash when it was announced in July this year - with a wealth of multiplayer modes teased and a beta test that saw hundreds of thousands of gamers get an early taste of the action.
However, developer Visceral Games (Dead Space, Dante's Inferno) has been rather more quiet about what you can expect from the single-player campaign. So, PlayStation.Blog sat down with Senior Producer Steve Anthony, who's helping to bring the single-player portion of the game to PlayStation in early 2015.
"At Visceral we're very proud of our lineage when it comes to single-player stories," explains Anthony. "What we've done for Battlefield Hardline is to take influence from popular television crime dramas and built a campaign that will unfold in episodic format. That means each episode of the campaign will have character development, intense moments, and cliff hanging endings."
Create a game that plays out like your favorite cop drama? An intriguing prospect, but exactly how are they looking to accomplish this lofty ambition?
"In order to do that we've brought on some key talent from Hollywood," he continues. "So...

Generally outside turmoil leads to inner focus for a football team. It's not like they have problems within their locker room. They are going to take an extreme us against the world approach.

Re: Texans hype train thread!
What you are describing is one possibility. It is up to the leadership of the team to direct & manage that focus. That's when you know you've got good leadership on your team. Some teams can keep it together, ignore all the outside noise & accomplish their goals. Others fall apart. |

Re: Texans hype train thread!
I'm not a huge fan of the hype. I appreciate the recognition but I prefer to fly under the radar. Just as it would have been cool to see the Texans on Hard Knocks, I would rather let the media go elsewhere.
Having said that, I think we have a young, focused group with good veteran leadership and very few, if any, divas. It's times like this when having a high-character locker room pays off, I don't think the media will be much of a distraction for those playing. It's also nice not hearing about Tim Tebow every waking hour. |

Circuit City, the second largest electronics retailer in the US, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company will close 155 stores and lay off 17% of its work force, which amounts to roughly 7300 jobs. GamePolitics notes that CC holds between 5-10% of the US video game market.
How CC's hard times will affect consumers still isn't very clear. It's probably worth keeping an eye on flyers for deals going into the holiday season or checking to see if a local store is shutting down. Although, the company might just shift inventory to locations staying open.

Fan stabbed outside Candlestick Park
An Elk Grove resident was expected to survive after he was stabbed during an argument between two groups of football fans near Candlestick Park just as Sunday's 49ers home game was getting under way, police said.
Fans gone wild
Some people just can't enjoy a game without getting involved. Here are a few such spectators.Two suspects were arrested within minutes a short distance away, police said. No other injuries were reported.
The victim, identified only as being 27 years old, was with five friends when the suspects approached them around 1:35 p.m. on Harney Way near Jamestown Road, on the southwest side of the stadium, according to Sgt. Michael Andraychak of the San Francisco Police Department. Tens of thousands of fans were inside the stadium for the 1:25 p.m. start of the 49ers' home game against the New York Giants.
The two groups got into a verbal argument; one of the suspects then pulled out a knife and stabbed the victim in the torso, Andraychak said.
The suspects were arrested a few minutes later at the intersection of Blaken Avenue and Executive Park Drive, about two blocks away from the stabbing, police said. They were identified only as a 22-year-old Daly City man and a 30-year-old San Francisco man.
Officers from the SFPD's Gang Task Force were assisting in the investigation, Andraychak said, but it was not clear what started the argument.
Anyone who witnessed the stabbing is asked to call investigators at 415-671-2300. Anonymous tips can be phoned in to 415-575-4444 or texted to TIP411 by beginning the text with "SFPD."

Sounds like issues I had with the original WK-2801 ver 2.1. It would not bind right sometimes and the servos would be jerky instead of smooth. Don't fly when it is like that.
Have you tried setting a bind code into the RX? That may change things. Also don't use Progmixes for swash leveling. Use end point adjustments instead. Try turning off swash mixing and see if the individual channels are smooth. Maybe you have the swash mix or something set too high. Maybe the servos have an issue? Good Luck, Don Quote:

The workaround on the micros with this issue was to move the cyclic sticks during binding or many times just starting over and binding again. Another thing you could try is to change the binding in your TX from "random" to a unique ID code which will bind instantly with the 2801 Pro RX with no delay and see if that changes anything. Its a little tricky to set the code in but the instruction manual describes it well. |

Yeah, I never got an answer from them either when I wanted to upgrade the firmware in my old WK-2801.
The WK-2801e is 10mw output and WK-2801pro is 100mw output and of course the e was Ver 2.2 and the pro is ver 2.2 or 2.3 which is the latest. There was a CCPM change in the software between Ver 2.1 and 2.3 but I don't know if it happened in ver 2.2 or 2.3. All I know is I had to totally re-setup my helis from ver 2.1 to ver 2.3. YMMV, Don |

I would like to buy it to replace my turborix 6ch,(helis flight 450)
Station or is it a good look at other options? Walkera message: Dear Sir, Thanks for your email to Walkera. WK-2801 PRO can be 100 MW or 10 Mw output while 2801 E is only 10 mW. 100 mW can control 1000 meters, while 10 mW is for 500 meters. For flying helicopters 500 meters should be enough. I hope it is clear for you. |

Jada Sezer: 'I don't want to be a model. I want to be a role model'
This Friday, a comfortable size 16-18 fronts the first plus-size alternative to London Fashion Week's skinny-fest
Susie Mesure
Susie Mesure writes interviews, news and features for the Independent on Sunday, Independent and i, and has done for the last ten years or so give or take two lengthy maternity leaves. She is interested in just about any topic, especially anything Scandinavian, food, or consumer-orientated, and used to be the Independent's Retail Correspondent
Sunday 10 February 2013
The mere mention of "plus-size" fashion is enough to trigger an avalanche of images from Evans shop windows. But the reality is that on Planet Fashion, anyone bigger than a size 8 – yes, really – is dubbed "plus-sized", an anomaly that the start of London Fashion Week on Friday will only serve to underline.
Which makes it all the more refreshing to meet Jada Sezer, one of fashion's fastest-rising stars. She greets me fresh from a test shoot with the retailer ASOS, has designers queuing up to get her to wear their clothes, and will spend this weekend fronting Britain's first "plus-size" alternative to LFW.
But you can forget about calling her a model. "I don't want to be one," she insists. "I want to be a role model." That's not something you often hear from someone involved in an industry criticised for the negative messages it sends out to young girls, yet Ms Sezer is talking sense.
A curvy size 16 to 18 – her words, not mine – she is determined to use her body to show the world that what are, after all, just average-sized women look as good in clothes as the whippet-thin girls so notoriously favoured by the likes of Karl Lagerfeld.
"There is a huge public demand for cool, funky, fresh clothes that a bigger-sized woman can wear. People associate plus-sized in a negative way, as something that is frumpy, old, outdated. But I want to get people thinking outside the box and portray plus-sized women in a certain light."
The 23-year-old psychology graduate will get her chance on Friday and Saturday, at the British Plus Size Fashion Weekend, in Shoreditch, east London. It's been timed to coincide with LFW to highlight the absurdity that top designers ignore the vast majority of the world's population.
Ms Sezer is the face of the event, which will showcase the latest plus-size collections from brands including Simply Be, Carolyn de la Drapiere, Curvissa and Pauline et Julie. She'd rather not be: she'd prefer to be walking the same catwalks as, say, the current Vogue darling, Cara Delevingne.
"Ultimately I'd want to be on a catwalk with straight-size models rather than do something exclusive," she admits. But for now, she's just happy that the plus-size industry is gaining momentum here. "Growing up, I never saw women like this," she says, referring to herself. "People clap for Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez being curvy women, but they're size 8 to 10, and they have personal trainers. I've never seen good, cool, curvy women. Sometimes magazines throw in a plus-size model as a goodwill gesture, but they're not taken seriously."
She says her nine-year-old niece already idolises her, but admits that's unusual. "What would help? Seeing more images of what I do. If she sees someone my age looking as cool as Rihanna, rather than modelling for Matalan, that would appeal to her."
Although agencies exist to represent curvier girls, and brands such as H&M and ASOS are leading the way with ranges for larger figures, Ms Sezer says modelling jobs are "limited" for anyone much bigger than a 12 or 14. Debenhams is planning a new campaign to try to change things but progress is slow.
Ms Sezer adds: "For a lot of people, it's frustrating when you can't find clothes to fit." Top Shop is particularly bad. "Even their size 16 for me fits more like a size 12. Whoever their fitting model is can't possibly be a size 16. That's the brand I'd love to be the face of one day. That, for me, would represent real change."
The Plus Size Fashion Weekend was dreamt up by the 25-year-old designer and entrepreneur Remi Ray. "If I can just build confidence in one lady then that's my job done," she said yesterday. "Plus-size is always seen in a negative light as standing for obesity and for people being unhappy. But millions of women are plus-size and feel comfortable."
Caryn Franklin, the fashion commentator and body-shape campaigner, yesterday welcomed the event, but added: "I'd like to see this integrated into London Fashion Week itself."
There are parallels with the ethical fashion movement, which started on the fringes but is now something that the British Fashion Council, which runs LFW, pushes through its Estethica initiative. No one from the BFC was available to comment on whether the same thing might happen with the plus-size event.
Ms Sezer had her own message for Lagerfeld, who has provoked controversy with his jibes against larger women, which include calling the singer Adele "too fat". She said: "That's just so ignorant. You never know [if you can design plus-sizes] until you try. There are some beautiful plus-sized women out there who are toned and in proportion."

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

A Look Back at Meryl Streep's Most Memorable Style Moments
She may be an unwilling style icon, but there's no denying that Meryl Streep has an innate elegance all her own. "For me, clothes are kind of character; I don't follow fashion or understand trends," the 16-time Oscar nominee has said. That may be, but who else wears clothing with such natural grace that they've inspired dozens of designers' collections — as Streep did in her 1985 Out of Africa role — and who else but Streep could portray the ultimate Prada-wearing, fear-inducing fashion editor with such believable and transportative aplomb? In honor of her June 22 birthday, here's a look back at the iconic actress's most indelible style moments.

I just went to start my music player this morning and it said 'no music', I checked the SD card and everything is gone, about 250 pics and 800 songs. I went to titanium backup and it shows that nothing is backed up yet I had backed everything up at least twice. I'm guessing im SOL, once its gone from SD card it's just gone. Any suggestions?
It gets even better, somehow the ROM backups I made are gone as well. Looks like I lost everything sometime yesterday morning because the only thing left is a picture that I took yesterday around 10 AM...ugh!
Try going to your phone settings menu then storage and see if your sd card is mounted. If not then just remount. Sent from my DROID2
And you didn't tell your card to format? That's weird. Does it show the maximum card space as available?
Yes, the card was just blank. I think I must have accidentally deleted it somehow when I was trying to download a new task bar background? Not good
I lost all of my music also. Luckily I use amazon cloud and just dl'd it back Sent from my DROID2 using DroidForums
I had this happen a while back, I needed to reformat. I started using Titanium Media Sync so I will have a SD card backup on Dropbox. Sent from my R2D2 Liberty GB
Same thing happened to me with my thunderbolt a few weeks ago when I flashed a new kernel and lowered the voltages too much. It just kept rebooting so I pulled the battery and when I went to restore a backup they were all gone. Thats why I back up my sd card every week or so to my externel hard drive, you just cant be too careful.

Barclays Announces Changes To Its Benchmark Fixed Income Indices
Barclays, publisher of leading broad market bond benchmarks, announced today changes to its widely-used benchmark fixed income indices after concluding its annual index review and governance process in October. The governance process has resulted in a number of rule changes that will take effect as of March 31, 2013, as well as reaffirmations of existing rules that were reviewed and remain unchanged.
These decisions were made after carefully evaluating the evolving fixed income landscape and incorporating the perspectives of a diverse set of global investors who use Barclays indices as portfolio benchmarks and measures of broad fixed income market returns.
A summary of key rules changes/clarifications that will take effect as of March 31, 2013 is as follows:
Emerging Markets Indices
- Flagship Barclays hard currency emerging markets (EM) benchmark bond indices will be rebranded as EM Aggregate benchmark bond indices to reflect their broad country and sector coverage of the EM investment universe, which includes a growing portion of EM corporate and EM government-related debt.
- All Barclays EM benchmark bond indices (hard currency, local currency, and inflation-linked) will use a single consistent list of countries classified as EM when determining index eligibility. Criteria for inclusion in this list include both World Bank income group classifications and International Monetary Fund country designations. In addition, the list will include countries that bond investors generally classify as EM: South Korea, Israel, Taiwan, and Czech Republic.
- Nigeria and Romania will be added to the flagship Barclays EM Local Currency Government Index.
- Barclays high yield (HY) corporate indices, which by rule exclude issuers with an EM country of risk, will also be impacted by the new EM definition. Issuers of USD, EUR, and GBP-denominated HY debt with a country of risk that is now on the EM country list will be excluded from the Barclays US High Yield and Pan-Euro High Yield indices.
- Asset-backed securities (ABS) collateralized by auto lease loans, auto floorplan loans, and non-US collateral pools with cashflows denominated in USD will become eligible for inclusion in Barclays fixed and floating-rate US ABS indices, provided they meet all other index eligibility criteria.
- Loan Participation Notes (LPNs) will be added to Barclays Aggregate indices including the Global Aggregate and Pan-European Aggregate.
- New local currency fixed minimum issue sizes will be set for all local currency bond markets benchmarked by Barclays. This will include the Global Aggregate and EM Local Currency Government index families. Current local currency minimums that have been pegged to USD, EUR, or JPY will remain in effect until the new local minimums are applied.
- Index eligibility of new markets in the World Government Inflation-Linked Bond (WGILB) Index will be reviewed (1) on a quarterly basis for developed markets that have either initiated a new inflation-linked bond program or revived an inactive inflation-linked bond program; and (2) on an annual basis for countries classified as EM. Previously, WGILB Index inclusion was only reviewed annually on December 31. Countries must still meet existing minimum market size, credit quality, and investability criteria for this flagship index.
- Denmark and New Zealand inflation-linked government bond markets will become eligible for the WGILB and Global Inflation-Linked (Series-L) indices, once they meet the US$4 billion minimum market size requirement.

I'm biased, because I've only ever flown escorts, but I'd say the Defiant Retrofit is the best option, although you need to know it's limitations.
No other ship in the fed arsenal can do as much damage, in my opinion. Maybe not even in the KDF. In PVP, i'm almost always the top damage dealer.
And if you know what you're doing, and you have the right BOFF skills, you can actually hang in the fight for a while if you need to. You just really need to know when to cut and run, which you eventually will have to do.
But I tell ya, there's nothing more satisfying than dropping out of cloak, and killing a ship within a couple seconds. That's something you rarely get with a cruiser or science ship.
Speaking of which, the cloak is my absolute favorite part of the defiant R. Not only do you get a +15 (percent?) to attack for a few seconds after decloaking, but it lets you choose your battles. Let's you position yourself perfectly before striking. That's somethig you can't do if you don't have a cloak. Now if only it had a battle cloak for when th ings went bad.

What is a Rain Barrel?
Rain Barrels are storage containers that collect rain water from downspouts. Downspouts lead the rain water from the roof to the ground or storm sewer. Rain barrels usually consist of a plastic storage container with lid, a system that diverts water into the barrel and a water spigot to which a hose can attach. The rain barrel is connected into the downspout system, in order to capture and store some of the rain water.
Why would I want a Rain Barrel?
This storage of rain water serves dual purposes. First, the water can be used for purposes such as gardening, washing down patio furniture, lawn watering, etc. that otherwise tap water would have to be used for. This ends up allowing the owner to use the collected water for these uses instead of paying for tap water. Second, the rain barrels serve an environmental purpose. By storing the rain water, there is a decreased impact of stormwater runoff to streams which helps to protect the environment and minimizes sewer back ups. Please be aware that residents who install rain barrels are not eligible for a discount on their stormwater bill.
How can I get a Rain Barrel?
The Philadelphia Water Department and the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) are giving away rain barrels to people located within the watersheds of Philadelphia. In order to receive a rain barrel, it is mandatory to attend a rain barrel workshop to be educated on the benefits of stormwater reduction and use of the rain barrel. There is a one-per-household limit. Rain barrel workshops are held in locations around the city throughout the year.
This is a voluntary and free program.
You must be a resident of Philadelphia in order to attend a workshop and agree to have a free rain barrel installed on your property at a later date.
Please note that by installing a rain barrel, you will not get a credit on your stormwater bill.

Back at CES we first caught wind of the nameless Verizon device, which we later found out was the Samsung Droid Charge, and it has now made an official appearance in some Verizon promotional material. There's also a multimedia desktop charger, which serves as a media player and a speakerphone, and it has a spare battery charger slot, which is pretty sweet. While this isn't as great as a release date, it is further proof that the device could be coming sooner then later. [Engadget]
