Beta key giveaway: Newber, the location-aware second line for your iPhone
This week at CTIA, California's FreedomVOICE launched Newber (a portmanteau of "New" and "Number"), a secondary business line product for the iPhone. The idea isn't too far from that of Google's GrandCentral: One phone number that will always ring on the phone nearest you. GrandCentral's means of pulling this off is a bit blind, dialing all… Read More
No Ocean 2 until 2009 — too little too late?
Already blue-faced from holding your breath for Oz 2? You might just go purple before you've got one in your hands. According to Jayne Wallace, spokeswoman for Virgin Mobile, we won't be seeing it on the shelves until 2009. Why? Because it's not yet "the best it can be." Read More
Still trying to get into the Skyfire Beta? Heres the way.
Even with Skyfire opening the floodgates for about a week back in August and sites around the tubes having given away bags and bags of beta keys, I'm still getting e-mails asking if there are any quick and easy ways to sneak into the beta for this remarkably cool browser. Though we're not sure how long it'll work, we've got a way. At a mid-CTIA press event, Skyfire… Read More

Hands on galleries of Velocity Mobile's new handsets (103, 83, 301)
Velocity Mobile brought a trio of shiny new handsets to CTIA today, and we got to spend just a bit of time with all three: the 103, 83, and 301. In the flurry of crazy that is CTIA scheduling, I wasn't able to spend enough time with'em to write a full hands on for each. Velocity hooked us up with a 103 to review, so we'll have more to say about that one in just a few days. Read More

Sprint HTC Touch Diamond deboxed and hands-on'd
We just put our hands all over Sprint's recently announced version of the HTC Touch Diamond, and documented the process for all to see. As is becoming common for HTC lately, the Sprint version of the Touch Diamond is quite a stunner. Oddly, they've dropped the jagged design on the rear of the phone, something the standard Touch Diamond is known for. In its place is a slab of soft… Read More

Peter Thiel: Best Predictor of Startup Success Is Low CEO Pay
In a long-ranging discussion today at TechCrunch50, investor Peter Thiel (PayPal, Facebook, Slide) gave his thoughts on what is the best predictor of startup success.

N96 and N78 get Fring support
Bummed out because the N78 doesn't offer VoIP compatability right out of the box? Fear not – Fring has got you covered. Apparently using their own VoIP client rather than the Nokia-made client (which Nokia decided not to build into the latest N-series devices) required by other services, Fring has added support for both the N78 and the N96. If you've got an N78 or by some sort… Read More

TOKYO (AP) — For decades, the U.S. Air Force has grown accustomed to such superlatives as unrivaled and unbeatable. These days, some of its key combat aircraft are being described with terms like geriatric, or decrepit.
US Air Force struggles with aging fleet
The aging of the U.S. Air Force, a long-simmering topic in defense circles, made a brief appearance in the presidential debates when Republican nominee Mitt Romney cited it as evidence of the decline of U.S. military readiness. His contention that the Navy is the smallest it's been since 1917 got more attention, thanks to President Barack Obama's quip that the Navy also has fewer "horses and bayonets."
But analysts say the Air Force has a real problem, and it will almost certainly get worse no matter who wins Tuesday's election. It was created in part by a lack of urgency in the post-Cold War era, and by design glitches and cost overruns that have delayed attempts to build next-generation aircraft.
Looming budget cuts limit the force's ability to correct itself, they argue, as China's rise as a world power heightens its need to improve. And though the world's most formidable air force never had much use for bayonets, it's got more than its share of warhorses.
The U.S. probably couldn't have fought the air wars over Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya without the KC-135 Stratotanker, the Air Force's main aerial refueler, which allows fighter jets to remain airborne on long flights.
America has President Dwight Eisenhower to thank for that.
The KC-135 came into service during Eisenhower's watch in 1956. The newest of the roughly 400 Stratotankers in service started flying nearly half a century ago, in 1964.
"We are in unknown territory," said Lt. Col. Brian Zoellner, who has been flying the KC-135 for 15 years and is head of operations for 909th Air Refueling Squadron at Kadena Air Base on Japan's southwestern island of Okinawa. "The unknown is at what point does the KC-135 become unusable."
The KC-46A refueling tanker is being developed as a replacement, but probably won't start delivery for another five years. If Congress has its way, some Stratotankers could still be taking off well into the 2040s.
THAT '70s SHOW — THE F-15, F-16 AND A-10
The F-15, America's workhorse warplane since the Vietnam War, was designed to have a service life of about 5,000 flight hours. The Air Force has more than tripled that, to 18,000 hours.
The F-16, another key fighter, has been in use since 1979. The Air Force began retiring the oldest ones two years ago.
Another '70s-era fighter is the A-10 Thunderbolt, which provides close air support for ground troops. It's now being rewinged because its old ones were riddled with cracks. The General Accounting Office estimates the cost of upgrading and refurbishing the aircraft will be $2.25 billion through 2013.
The Air Force is revamping its fighter fleet with the stealthy F-22 Raptor and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, but production of the F-22 was cut short after its price tag swelled to nearly half a billion dollars a pop. Delays and escalating costs have also dogged the F-35, which is now the most expensive Department of Defense procurement program ever.

HoopsHype Antawn Jamison rumors
Marc J. Spears: Free agent Antawn Jamison told Y! Sports teams have shied from signing him due to unneccessary concerns about his surgically repaired wrist. Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
Brad Turner: Clippers remained interested in Lamar Odom, Antawn Jamison. But no deal yet for either player. Twitter @BA_Turner
Ramona Shelburne: Timetable on Antawn Jamison decision has been pushed back a little. Might take until end of the week for things to resolve w/ Clippers Twitter @ramonashelburne
Adrian Wojnarowski: Free agent Antawn Jamison and the Clippers are making progress in talks on a one-year contract, league sources tell Y! Sports. No deal yet. Twitter @WojYahooNBA
Dave McMenamin: According to source familiar with the Antawn Jamison/Clippers talks, Lamar Odom is a major factor. Clips unlikely to get both. Twitter @mcten
Dan Woike: I can confirm that Clippers are working on a deal to sign Antawn Jamison. Would need to be a min deal. Twitter @DanWoikeSports
The Clippers and the representatives for Antawn Jamison have been talking about the free-agent forward joining the team, said NBA executives who were not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. Los Angeles Times
Brad Turner: Clippers, forward Antawn Jamison both showing interest. No deal yet, however. Jamison, of course, played for Lakers last season. Twitter @BA_Turner
Marc J. Spears: Wizards also would "love" to bring back Antawn Jamison,who played there from 2004-10. Wiz texted the mutually interested Jamison on Sunday Twitter @SpearsNBAYahoo
After he took a paycut to play one season for the veteran's minimum in hopes of winning his first NBA championship, it's unlikely Antawn Jamison will return to the Lakers. Los Angeles Daily News
The 15-year NBA veteran hopes to play somewhere near his Charlotte residence so he can spend more time with his four children, including Alexis (12), Kathryn 7, Antawn Jr. (6) and Rucker (3). Jamison will likely command more money on the open market considering he made $15.1 million in the 2011-12 season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He tired of the endless in-fighting among the Lakers locker room. And partly stemmed from sitting out for six consecutive games, Jamison didn't have the best relationship with Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni. Jamison had also skipped his initial exit meeting, though he attended at a later time. Los Angeles Daily News
The Lakers have three unrestricted free agents in Earl Clark, Antawn Jamison and Howard. The team can also make Darius Morris, Robert Sacre, Andrew Goudelock and Devin Ebanks restricted free agents in July. Ebanks isn't likely to get a qualifying offer from the team, which would make him unrestricted. Los Angeles Times
The Los Angeles Lakers player was hangin' out in Beverly Hills today when we asked about Jason's big announcement ... and the 36-year-old veteran had a lot to say. Antawn -- who's been in the league since 1998 -- told us he's glad Jason came out ... and he's happy the guy can "be who he really is." But Antawn says not everyone feels the same way -- telling us, "Of course, you're going to have some closed-minded people, let's be realistic." "That's life." TMZ.com
Dave McMenamin: Antawn Jamison had his exit interview with Mitch Kupchak today at the Lakers practice facility, according to a source Twitter @mcten
Mike Trudell: LAL just announced that Antawn Jamison underwent successful surgery on his injured right wrist this morning. Twitter @LakersReporter

First-down line could be coming to NFL stadiums
Tuesday - 1/22/2013, 7:52pm EST
By DAVID GINSBURG
AP Sports Writer
BALTIMORE (AP) - Fans watching NFL games on television have grown accustomed to the imaginary yellow line that runs across the field in accord with the first-down marker.
That first-down line could one day become part of the in-game experience at all 32 NFL stadiums.
Alan Amron, with financial backing from former NFL player and broadcaster Pat Summerall, has developed the First Down Laser System. Amron said the system projects a first-down line across the field that can be seen in the stadium and on TV.
The league is intrigued, but not completely sold on the idea _ not yet anyway.
"The NFL is our prime customer at this point," Amron said, "and if we can make something that they like, maybe the NCAA and Canadian Football League will follow suit."
Amron first met with the NFL in 2003 and again in 2009. There may soon be future meetings.
"They give me different opinions and suggestions along the way," Amron said. "We comply with them and come back. They tell me it took them years and years to implement replay and the overhead cam. The NFL right now has made it very clear to us that they didn't want to eliminate the chains, but augmenting them wouldn't be a bad idea."
League spokesman Greg Aiello said, "We have not been convinced that it would work for us, but we are open to further discussion after the season."
The laser system would be attached to the first-down markers on both sides and project a contrasting light green line across the field. The system would work in accord with the chain gang, but is designed to provide a more accurate focal point in terms of measurements. When a player hits the turf, by theory, it would become immediately apparent whether he made a first down.
"A misplaced ball on a first-down measurement can mean the difference between winning and losing a game," Summerall said.
For fans at home, the first-down line is a visual aid that has become as much a part of the telecast as replay and out-of-town highlights. Amron got the idea for the laser after watching a game at home, then going to the stadium and having to do without the line across the field.
"Right away I realized it would be a great thing to be able to project it onto the field," he said. "I filed patents on it within weeks."
In recent years, the NFL has attempted to lure fans from home by making larger replay screens, displaying in-house photos of what the replay official is watching and showing clips from games around the league. Could a first-down line be the next addition?
"It will help all teams bring more fans to the stadium to see the game in person," Summerall said.

Some good fights for a payout of less than what Chuck probably gets to step into the octagon.
Here is the UFN 12 fighter payouts according to the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC).
Mike Swick (10k fight, 10k win)
Josh Burkman (10k fight)
Patrick Cote (14k fight, 14k win)
Drew McFedries (10k fight)
Thiago Tavares (9k fight, 9k win)
Michihiro Omigawa (5k fight)
Nate Diaz (15k fight, 15k win)

Kurt Pelligrino (10k fight, 10k win)

Cole Miller (8k fight)
Corey Hill (8k fight, 8k win)
Joe Veres (3k fight)
Matt Wiman (8k fight, 8k win)
Justin Buchholz (4k fight)
Total Payout for UFN 12: $232,000.
Some good fights for a payout of less than what Chuck probably gets to step into the octagon.
Seeing these payouts kind of makes me sick. Dana quit ass raping these young fighters who bust their ass for the UFC while you keep lining your pockets. You pay Brock Lesnar a shit load of money to come to the UFC and he hasn't done shit in MMA. Give these fighters what they derserve!!!!
they didn't get paid shit
i feel bad for the guy that only made $3K for the fight. it's probably like $300 for his roundtrip flight, another $2K for all of that unpaid apartment rent, and what about food, going out, etc? can't make a living.
but some guys are just overpaid. corey miller sucks dick. and i personaly think nate diaz is just disrespectful, especially when he lost fair and square to diego sanchez.
that was nick not nate but they are both kinda loudmouths.
It's a shame what these young fighters get paid to put on a good show! 3k doesn't even cover the doctor bills.
dude, 3K doesn't even cover the escort service!
the MMA world is rediculous when it comes to salary..you would think with all the competition it would pay very resonable salaries at the least but instead fighters get jack shit…some senator or lawyer or unioun type of thing should get involved and do something ya know
3K is basically the UFC screwing a new fighter just so that he can get a break in the UFC. But fighters can make that amount in a smaller venue like KOTC. The UFC is a worldwide venue and they should up the pay to the bottom. Like I've said before, if that fighter was good enough to make the card then they are good enough to get paid for that too.
i agree. it's okay for a dude to get paid 3K for a fight in a little known venue, like WCFO. but come on, in the UFC? chuck is making at least 1/2 million if he wins a fight. cro cop made $300,000 just for losing his last fight. if the fighter was good enough to make the UFC or make the card in the first place, pay should be at least 10K. you could make more money working at mickey d's in one month rather than training for one month and fighting in MMA. according to dana, "fighters shouldnd't be worried about the money. they should want to fight because they want to."
in the ufc the lowest pay should be 6k not this 3k bs… Diaz got the most hahaha
Yeah, Diaz getting good money and Dana hates his brother almost as much as Tito. Even when he won TUF, his post fight comments were bashing the show and he said he would never recommend that for any fighter because the house sucked so much. Then he shook Dana's hand right after. Funny as hell.
dana white is a prick

Low Magnetic Fields in Anisotropic Superconductors (Lecture Notes in Physics Monographs)
The authors present a theoretical and numerical study of anisotropic high-temperature materials using techniques of muon spin rotation spectroscopy. Using the London theory, the method obtains information on the microscopic magnetic fields in the probe. The muon spin rotation technique is presented in some detail, especially the muon behaviour in magnetic fields. The authors then describe the superconductor and present a prescription for numerical calculations of the fields. These in turn are used to develop numerical simulations of muon stopping in superconductors. The results are presented graphically. This is the first text to combine muon spectroscopy with Fourier methods in scientific computing. The book addresses researchers including those working in industry.

The Council before implementation must approve recommendations and/or proposals of committees. There are three types of committees permitted by the Association Bylaws: special committees, ad hoc committees, and standing committees." -- Alabama Library Association Handbook, Chapter 9, p.30.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
On April 15, 2014, New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio signed into law an amendment to the New York City Human Rights Law ("NYCHRL") extending the protections from discrimination and harassment contained in the NYCHRL to both paid and unpaid interns. The amendment goes into effect on June 14, 2014.
The amendment was enacted in response to the October 2013 decision in Wang v. Phoenix Satellite Television US, Inc., where the Southern District of New York held that the protections against discrimination and harassment under the NYCHRL do not extend to unpaid interns. To rectify the holding in Wang, the amendment clarifies that the protections of the NYCHRL apply to both paid and unpaid interns. The amendment defines "interns" as:
[A]n individual who performs work for an employer on a temporary basis whose work: (a) provides training or supplements training given in an educational environment such that the employability of the individual performing the work may be enhanced; (b) provides experience for the benefit of the individual performing the work; and (c) is performed under the close supervision of existing staff. The term shall include such individuals without regard to whether the employer pays them a salary or wage.
As a result of the amendment, both paid and unpaid interns in New York City will have the same protections from discrimination and harassment on the basis of protected characteristics (e.g., race, gender, religion, etc.) previously available to all employees.
Since the amendment to the NYCHRL goes into effect on June 14, 2014, employers who hire interns in New York City should promptly make any necessary changes to their handbooks or other employment policies to ensure consistency with the amendment.

Built over the course of twenty-two months in 1882 and 1883, the Stone Arch Bridge across the Mississippi River in Minneapolis is a feat of engineering and a reminder of the importance of rail traffic in the late nineteenth century.
