Another slice of the massive tech showcase known as CES was spent focusing on the trends that should have an immediate impact in the evolution of automotive automation. Many aftermarket manufacturers have inched past the practice of trying to safely deliver content to the car in lieu of using hardware systems to process content to create a more engagement and safe automotive environment. I spent the majority of Day 2 scouring the North Hall booths for demos of the gear that will bring some of the high end OEM systems to the aftermarket. The top buzzword from both OEM and aftermarket companies when referencing these systems is the "Connected Car" concept, a term that most people in the mp3Car community have run into in previous years.
Among the coolest gear in this Connected Car category is Delphi's new OBD-II based Bluetooth 2G adapter. Developed in partnership with Verizon, this device not only has the ability to monitor car systems and control routine functions like car start/stop, but it also can harness available data received and provide users with recommendations on how to automate driving tasks. For example, the device can take user driving habit along with the power of the Verizon mobile network to suggest new routes based on time, distance, or even environmental impact. Of course, another key feature of the Delphi adapter is the ability to control car functions like locks, engine start, and geofences from anywhere. Accompanying apps for the web, Android, and IOS are already available. Unfortunately, the current iteration of the device is limited to 2G communications, making unable to be used as a infotainment hotspot.
Globalstat's TR600 tracking system is another automation powerhouse. In short, the TR600 is a GPS, GSM, and CANBUS capable I/O device. The TR600 has a total of 9 I/O points (3 Input/ 6 Outputs), and with add on sensors can monitor most any vehicle event and automate tasks based on them. GSM capability means users can also remotely monitor and control I/Os. The TR600 can be used fully autonomously or as a standalone device to control relays via an included serial interface.
The Mobileye Series 5 is a product aimed specifically at adding collision avoidance systems for any vehicle. The Series 5 is essentially a advanced camera which can identify objects and their respective distances from the vehicle in real-time. The camera can then relay information to either your Android or Apple smartphone, or to the included display module. Multiple data points are available and instantly updated including lane departure warnings, following time indicators, and road sign recognition and indication. On top of these monitoring capabilities, the Series 5 can also automate tasks such as headlight and high-beam control for an active safe driving experience. This is a fascinating system which can be easily tucked away behind the windshield of any vehicle.
More from CES 2013 to follow.
Tablets, telematics and gaming dominate the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show! The highlighted hardware of the show so far seems to be the brand new Tegra 4 processor from NVIDIA. The processor was on display in a series of touch displays ranging in size from 5 to 50 inches, and was shown at the heart of the new wave of gaming platforms and digital dash displays. Could the days of a Tegra-based ready built automotive platform finally be here?
Other quick hits and misses from Day 1.
-Parrot Corp has again invaded CES with a variety of embedded automotive systems. Last year I highlighted the Double-Din Android powered Asteroid system, which has seemingly been replaced by a host of new Asteroid line products. More information soon!
-US Globalstat, makers of the popular BU-353 USB GPS module, have released a series of automotive automatation devices aimed at bringing OEM vehicle accessibility to the aftermarket.
-Electrobit had a live demo of their EB Street Director, a QNX based telematics navigation platform. This new package, built specifically for the "Connected Car", allows real-time information updating from online content into the navigation system.
-Vehicle Telematics and Digital Health seem to be growing components of what CES is about. Various vendors have released new lines of Telematic devices, ranging from Belkin to Verizon. Seems telematic systems will soon be mainstream.
-Seemingly every automotive electronics affiliate misses our very own Rob Wray!
-Double-DIN computing platforms are all but extinct this year. It appears that vehicle design engineers have successfully phased out the days of simple add-on systems.
-Not much has been updated in the world of 7" touchscreen.
-Windows CE 6.0 is still seemingly a viable platform for embedded systems.
Much more information and photos to come!
What is it?
The MIMO 720F is a USB powered touchscreen monitor with a built-in fixture style mount.
The Verdict:
The second iteration of the MIMO 720F touchscreen monitor features improved performance all around. The colors are brighter, touch layer seems clearer, and drivers are more stable. Whether the 720F is the best for you simply depends on your mounting preference, as the mount design can make or break your install.
Whats in the box?
The MIMO 720F box comes with the touchscreen monitor, single power/control USB cable, driver CD, mounting screws, and instruction manual.
Ever since the USB Touchscreen Showdown I have received request for a more in-depth look at the MIMO 720F USB Touchscreen monitor. Having had a second go-round with the display, I can confirm basically all of the pluses and minuses from 2011. The 720F is a fantastic option if considering to add an additional monitor your car PC setup... provided you engineer a manner to mount it.
Easily, the most differentiating item on the 720F is the "flex" mount. Where most 7-inch screens are going to come with a removable bottom mount solution, this version of the 720 system comes with four non-removable mounting arms. MIMO suggests that there are thousands of applications in which to use this unique design, and honestly, I can see many methods in which the mount would be preferred around the house or at work. The available suction cup mount means you can practically mount the 720F on any stationary mounting surface. There's also a headrest mount for display on the go. However, if you're the type who plans an installation that looks like it's meant the be there, the flex mount will more than likely be a hindrance.
So while prospective purchasers may have a decision to make regarding the 720F's backside, no one will have a problem with the business end. The MIMO device is easily the nicest looking USB touchscreen to date. The bezel is sleek and clean with no forward facing buttons to speak of. Aside from the MIMO logo on the bottom of the bezel, the 720F can absolutely look OEM properly implemented in a car. Even the power light seems to be considered, as it is offset and not blindingly bright at night.
The good looks continue when your operating system loads and the display comes to life. Where the first generation was inhibited with some pixilation and color banding issues, "Season 2" of the 720F has drastically improved visuals whether during movement or stationary. I'm not entirely positive if it's the improved DisplayLink drivers or the hardware itself, but rest assured the 720F will display the way you desire. Keep in mind though that you're still limited to a fixed resolution of 800x480, and USB display means your operating system must load before the 720F will work.
As with all USB touchscreens, the driver requirement put Windows users first in terms of display and touch screen support. The included DisplayLink drivers for Windows have been improved and the result is an increase in stability. I have not experienced the problems resuming from suspend modes as I had in previous iterations. Mac OSX users have been added to the list of users that can take advantage of the MIMO display, provided they don't mind having to purchase a third-party USB driver. Android users may not be left out for long, as there are efforts to bring a Android-friendly driver to the front as well for host-mode compatible devices.
The Positive:
Superb display quality which rivals HDMI competitors
Uses a single USB
OSX and Android driver options are now available in limited capacity
Sleek bezel design
The Negative:
Mounting system may limit install capabilities
Still requires Windows to load before it will display
Single USB cable may cause problems with some USB hubs
The Verdict:
The second iteration of the MIMO 720F touchscreen monitor features improved performance all around. The colors are brighter, touch layer seems clearer, and drivers are more stable. Whether the 720F is the best for you simply depends on your mounting preference, as the mount design can make or break your install.
The MIMO 720F is available on Amazon

What is it?
The CustomGadz X2 Module meshes the smartphone to the car PC, allowing for user-friendly control of an Android-powered car PC through a larger touchscreen monitor.
The Verdict:
The CustomGadz X2 Module is the ultimate way to make your smartphone your everyday car PC. Simply plugging in an HDMI cable from your phone to a monitor transforms your vehicle into an Android-powered experience.
The world of do-it-yourself in-car entertainment has recently seen a paradigm shift. The days of finding a space for a typical mITX motherboard and power supply are seemingly being phased out. Instead, more and more individuals are creating ways to install different forms of low cost, power sipping computing solutions. The most popular of these options going into automobiles these days are the Android powered tablet displays. The benefit of an entertainment setup such as this is easy to see at the surface. You get an instantly-on operating environment that is tailored specifically for touch screen usage. Most of the worries of destroying car batteries are a thing of the past, and a tablet device of any quality is going to have a display which is capable of viewing in all levels of sunlight.
The challenge when dealing with this form of car PC is installation, particularly for a person who has already dipped into a car PC installation in the past. The very nature of a sleek, slim mobile device which essentially does it all can be quite the chore to wedge into a modern automobile console. Every tablet comes in its own shape and size, making a car friendly docking solution somewhat unachievable. So with these issues raised, what solution does an individual have when craving Android but cringing at the thought of taking an expensive tablet and hacking away to make it work in a dash?
Enter the CustomGadz X2 Module. Based closely on the Mimics iPhone module, the X2 eases installation hassles by allowing Android control through dash-friendly 7 touchscreen display. The brain of an X2 operated car PC is your HDMI-capable smartphone. Once configured, the X2 Android module allows users to control their smartphone from a dash installed touchscreen. The X2 plugs into the touchscreen ribbon cable found in the screen housing, and uses Bluetooth technology to translate those presses to the smartphone. With X2 module installed, having a car PC is as simple as plugging the HDMI cable from your smartphone to your touchscreen monitor.
The X2 is essentially the link that allows users to experience the same friendly user interface whether in or out of the vehicle. Other obvious benefits are the available mobile data connection, and the amazing capabilities of built-in Android applications. Users get Google music, navigation, and voice control. These are applications that car PC users have been searching long and hard for when installing Windows-based solutions. Users also get a system that is entirely portable, and easily powered, as the X2 only requires a 5v signal and your Android can be powered with an everyday automotive charge cable.
As one can imagine, the many flavors of Android demands some configuration before the X2 becomes a perfect option. Quite honestly, configuration was somewhat confusing, especially having tested on the base X2 module with the adapter for my 4-wire Lilliput touchscreen. Essentially, configuration requires connecting the device to a PC running custom terminal program. Users must also connect an external button and LED light (neither are included with the base X2 package) and enter button presses to correspond to the commands the application dictates. Once configured, the X2 module must then be calibrated through the combination of a downloadable Android app and another combination of button presses and led flashes. While a tad bit tedious, the entire process is well documented in the installation manual.
The other obvious drawback to the current version of the X2 Android device is the compatibility is limited in both touchscreen monitors and Android smartphones. Be sure to check the device compatibility list before purchasing. Ultimately, the X2 Android device allows a new group of car PC user, those who don't want to fabricate and destroy dashboards to achieve all the things a car PC can be.
The Positive:
Allows instant control of your smartphone through a larger display
Instant control response, no delay after presses
Auto-power on/off
Touchscreen presses are mirrored from both touchscreen and smartphone
Included software walks you through touchscreen calibration
Easy to power
The Negative:
Configuration and calibration are a chore
Limited compatibility with Android smartphones
Multi-Touch capabilities of android aren't available on most touchscreen monitors
Base module does not include required adapters and add-ons
The Verdict:
The CustomGadz X2 Module is the ultimate way to make your smartphone your everyday car PC. Simply plugging in an HDMI cable from your phone to a monitor transforms your vehicle into an Android-powered experience.

M. D. Anderson Study Shows Pre-Operative Chemoradiation Leads to Greater Tumor Kill for Pancreatic Cancer
M. D. Anderson Study Shows Pre-Operative Chemoradiation Leads to Greater Tumor Kill for Pancreatic Cancer
M. D. Anderson News Release 05/20/02
A study by researchers at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center reports that gemcitabine-based chemoradiation given before surgery for pancreatic cancer - rather than after - may be a better alternative for patients.
In the study presented today (Monday, May 20) at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, researchers reported that pre-operative chemoradiation allows more patients to receive treatment that may prevent the onset of deadly metastasis or local recurrence.
This is the largest pre-operative chemoradiation study ever conducted for pancreatic cancer, said Dr. Robert Wolff, assistant professor in the Department of Gastrointestinal Medical Oncology at M. D. Anderson who presented the study. Though the current standard of care is to give chemoradiation after surgery, M. D. Anderson has been studying pre-operative chemoradiation for about a decade. Additional study is necessary to determine how pre-operative chemoradiation affects long-term survival.
According to this three-year study, 86 patients with resectable pancreatic tumors received seven weekly doses of gemcitabine and 10 daily treatments with radiation therapy. Four to six weeks after completing their last dose of chemotherapy, the patients were re-evaluated and underwent surgery if their disease had not progressed.
Disease progression during the 12-14 week pre-operative period was uncommon, and 64 patients
(74 percent) in the study were able to have potentially curative surgery, reported Dr. Wolff. In prior studies, only 60 percent of patients who underwent preoperative treatment programs were able to undergo this aggressive surgery.
Twelve (14 percent) of the patients did not have surgery, and seven patients had signs of advancing disease.
Microscopic evaluation of the pancreatic tumors revealed that there was greater tumor kill after gemcitabine and radiation than with other traditional chemotherapies. In 59 percent of the tumor specimens taken for the study, more than 50 percent of the tumor cells were destroyed, said Dr. Wolff.
"We believe that the combination of the two modalities is key," said Dr. Wolff. "Gemcitabine is a drug that is approved for advanced pancreatic cancer, and alone it is a good chemotherapy. But because it also is a radiation sensitizer, it maximizes the effectiveness of the radiation therapy."
Pre-operative chemotherapy allows more patients to receive beneficial therapies than otherwise might after surgery, said Dr. Douglas Evans, a leader of the study and professor in the Department of Surgical Oncology at M. D. Anderson.
About 25-30 % of patients who undergo the Whipple procedure, or pancreaticduodenectomy, are unable to receive postoperative therapy because they are not strong enough to continue treatment. The procedure is extensive, he said, and involves removing the head of the pancreas along with the gallbladder and the duodenum and then linking the rest of the pancreas, bile duct and stomach directly to the small intestine.
Giving patients chemotherapy and radiation before surgery also is important because physicians can identify those patients who may develop metastatic disease during the six to 12-week treatment period despite therapy, and those individuals would not be candidates for surgery, said Dr. Evans.
"The Whipple procedure is a very difficult surgery for patients, and some are unable to undergo further rigorous treatment like chemoradiation, which is very tough," said Dr. Evans. "If we can give the chemoradiation ahead of the surgery, there will be many more patients who can take the treatment and possibly benefit."
Cancer of the pancreas affects about 29,200 people each year and is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, for all stages combined, the one-year relative survival rate is only 20 percent, and the five-year rate is four percent.

CLEVELAND -- The FBI today arrested seven Amish men, charging them with hate crimes for cutting the hair and beards of other members of the Amish community in Holmes County because of a religious dispute, federal prosecutors announced today.
The men were taken into custody Wednesday morning at their compound in Bergholz, Ohio. The group is headed by Samuel Mullet Sr., who is the Bishop of an Amish sect known as the Bergholz Clan.
In an affidavit, an FBI agent alleged that the Bergholz Clan carried out a series of recent attacks in retaliation for a decision by more than 300 Amish church leaders to overturn a number of excommunications handed down by Mullet.
Mullet had excommunicated eight Amish families in about 2005 who had moved away from the Bergholz Clan.
"Excommunication bars an Amish member from having any religious affiliation without the blessing of the excommunicating Bishop," the agent noted in an affidavit filed in court.
After that decision was overturned, Mullet sought revenge, prosecutors said.
The seven are accused of religiously degrading members of the Amish community by holding them down and forcibly removing their beard hair with scissors and battery-powered clippers, authorities said.
The group also took photographs of the attacks.
Cutting the hair is a highly offensive act to the Amish, who believe the Bible instructs women to let their hair grow long and men to grow beards and stop shaving once they marry.
During one attack, a victim told the FBI that he pleaded with members of the Bergholz Clan not to cut his hair and then tried to cover his head with his hands.
One of the men said the victim "was a Christian and should not struggle," the affidavit read. When the victim tried to remind his attackers they were Christian too, the man said. "We are not Christians."
The affidavit also provides a peek into the world of the Bergholz Clan, which the FBI alleges was run with an iron fist by Mullet.
The FBI agent noted that Mullet "forced extreme punishments on and physical injury to those in the community who defy him, including forcing members to sleep for days at a time in a chicken coop on his property," the affidavit stated.
Mullet also counseled "the married women in the Bergholz Clan and (took) them into his home so that he may cleanse them of the devil with acts of sexual intimacy," the affidavit reads.
The criminal complaint, filed in Cleveland, charges Samuel Mullet and his two sons Sr., Johnny S. Mullet, Daniel S. Mullet; Levi F. Miller, Eli M. Miller and Emanuel Schrock, all of Bergholz, Ohio; and Lester S. Mullet, also Mullet's son, of Hammondsville, Ohio, with willfully causing bodily injury to any person, or attempting to do so by use of a dangerous weapon, because of the actual or perceived religion of that person.
The maximum potential penalty for these violations is 10 years in prison. A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office in Cleveland says the men were arraigned at 1 p.m. Wednesday in federal court in Youngstown.

International gym franchise Snap Fitness opened its third UK site in Market Harborough on Friday 5th July, fully equipped with cardio and strength training equipment from CYBEX.
As the third Snap Fitness in the UK and the first in the Midlands, the Market Harborough site will join an international franchise network of almost 1400 state-of-the-art fitness clubs worldwide, which offer 24/7 access to its members at affordable prices and without any contract with the gym.
With a longstanding relationship with the franchise which has seen CYBEX International already equip Snap Fitness gyms in the US, the latest install sees CYBEX expand its portfolio of Snap Fitness sites into the UK, with a number of new clubs already in the pipeline.
Equipment installed includes treadmills and recumbent bikes from the 625 series, VR1 and VR3 selectorised strength equipment, a range of plate loaded equipment alongside power cage, jungle gym and cable crossover. CYBEX also supplied dumbbells and benches for the gym's large free weights area.
The equipment is also fully customised to incorporate the Snap Fitness branding, adding to the overall look and feel of the site.
To view a 3D walkthrough of the gym, click here.
The new owner of Snap Fitness Market Harborough, Ash Pattani, promises members will be impressed with the spacious, modern and welcoming environment: "What really sets us apart from our competitors is the assurance of the same great workout experience as other gym chains but at a very affordable price, and with 24/7 access, members are provided with maximum flexibility to train at their own convenience and at no extra cost.
"By using CYBEX, we are guaranteeing our members the best in quality and a complete range of strength and cardio equipment that is user-friendly and proven to deliver results."
Members will also benefit from Fitness on Demand, an innovation in group fitness that allows users to participate in an extensive variety of classes and workout programmes at a time to suit them.
Each member will also receive one free personal training session and access to www.mysnapfitness.com, which provides health and wellness tools including online workout tutorials and meal plans.
Rob Thurston, CYBEX UK's commercial director, said: "With almost 1400 clubs worldwide, Snap Fitness has been hugely successful on an international scale and so to see the franchise expand its presence in the UK, and for CYBEX to be a part of this, is fantastic.
"What Snap Fitness does so well is offering memberships at affordable prices, but without compromising on the quality of the site, its equipment and its customer service and I have no doubt that it will prove to be a huge success within Market Harborough and the surrounding area."

It happened today – 22 November
22nd November
Estimated reading time: 1 minute
On 22nd November 2009, Virginio Lugli Munaron, best known as Gino, passed away. Born in Turin on 2nd April 1928, Gino's first foray into motorsport came in 1949, when he took part in the Aosta-Great St. Bernard in a CDMP Ford, he built along with Paolo Cordero di Montezemolo. In the Fifties, he was one of many gentlemen drivers who took part in racing events, both on the public highway and on tracks. He raced with Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Topolino, Nardi, Osca and other makes and also raced with Scuderia Ferrari cars, obtaining amongst others one of his biggest wins in the 1955 Hyeres 12 Hours. He also tried his hand at Formula 1, taking part in some Grands Prix in 1960 as a privateer, first at the wheel of a Maserati and then in a Ferrari-powered Cooper, run by Scuderia Castellotti. After he retired from racing in 1961, Munaron stayed in the motoring world working as a manager for BMW among others.

I just deleted Brett Favre's name from our Fantasy Depth Chart, as well as from our Positional Rankings and Top 200. Strange stuff. I've been ranking him since I started doing Fantasy Football years and years ago. Weird feeling.
It's really hard for me to believe that Favre has retired. Didn't think it would happen now. I spent a lot of time this offseason studying the Packers (partially because of the story I'm doing on Ryan Grant and other undrafted RBs), and I thought Favre would be a shoo-in for one final run to glory. The Packers had the cap space and personnel to be in great shape for 2008, then regress in 2009. Would have made for a perfect exit then.
How highly did I think of the Packers in 2008? In my early, early, early Super Bowl XLIII prediction (which always makes for great office humor), I picked the Packers to win it all.
Now, no chance.
Favre's retirement is bad news on a lot of fronts. Greg Jennings, Donald Driver, James Jones and Donald Lee all take a dip in our rankings. That's not to say that Aaron Rodgers is going to be a bad quarterback, but it doesn't take a Fantasy guy to tell you that he won't be as effective as Favre. Jennings is now a top-end No. 2 WR, Driver a No. 4 WR, Lee a top-end No. 2 TE and Jones is ... well, he's still a reserve.
Favre's retirement also takes a quality quarterback out of the Fantasy player pool, and that's an issue because QBs are the "hot" position this year after Tom Brady, Tony Romo, Derek Anderson, and Favre of course, led many owners to Fantasy championships. Not only is the Top 12 a little thinner, but a big-stat quarterback is off the board. Now the idea of passing on a QB in the first few rounds is a little tougher to swallow. Jay Cutler moves into the top 12 thanks to Favre getting bumped out. Aaron Rodgers debuts at 15th overall, ahead of Vince Young and Jon Kitna.
Let's talk about Rodgers and what he brings to the table. Of course he's no Favre, but we'd be naive to think that he's going to be "just another quarterback."
When Rodgers was coming out, I had him higher than Alex Smith in my notes. I liked his arm, football mind and intangibles. I thought he was tougher mentally than Smith. I liked his personality better than Smith's (I got to know both guys a little bit through the work I did on NFL.com). I think he's going to be better than most people think.
And what will help Rodgers along is the Packers offense around him. The receivers are excellent, the offensive line has developed and the running game has plenty of talent. He doesn't have to learn a new offense or get to know a fresh batch of players. All he has to do is go on the field, get in the huddle and play ball. Any NFL quarterback can do that.
Because of the talent around him, his numbers won't be bad. Will he get 300 yards and three touchdowns per week? Not unless he plays the Lions 16 times a year (ba-dum-bum). But he won't be a walking car crash in a green jersey, either.

Review for Miami Heart Research Institute Inc, Miami, FL, USA
I began my involvement with Miami Heart Research Institute in 2008 when I met Sallie Byrd who asked me to host a kick off for a new event they had created called 'Limo to Lunch'. Sallie and her team have kept me involved and in the loop of the organization since then. I was impressed by the outreach for awareness of heart health that the organization provides. They also made a point of inviting my employees at the time in to be evaluated.
Role: Volunteer & I Co Chaired "Limo to Lunch" an event created by Sallie Byrd and her team at Miami Heart Research Institute to help raise awareness and funds.

Product Details
Would you like to update product info, give feedback on images, or tell us about a lower price?
Season 2 of Felicity not only sees the massacre of star Keri Russell's golden locks (at one point, a minor character refers to the new, short-cropped Felicity as "Chia-Head") but endless turmoil--most of it quite addictive to watch--in perhaps seven or eight overlapping romances.
First there's the issue of season 1's cliffhanger. Did Felicity spend her summer with former high-school crush Ben (Scott Speedman) or her dormitory's resident advisor, Noel (Scott Foley), who harbors strong feelings for her? Episode 1 teases us with the answer while laying the bumpy groundwork for our heroine's sophomore year: Felicity has come back to college in New York City as an R.A. in her old dorm, once again sharing a room--much to her discontent--with acerbic Wiccan-punk Meghan (Amanda Foreman). Ben has a part-time job working in a coffee shop owned by Felicity's confidante Javier (Ian Gomez). Noel is sharing an apartment with another Felicity ally, Elena (Tangi Miller), as well as filmmaker Sean (Greg Grunberg), who previously made a documentary focusing on Ben and Felicity's relationship.
Tangled connections and shifting loyalties make for a long, involving second year in this drama-comedy from Disney and Imagine Entertainment. Characters fall in and out of love, earn and betray trust, leap before they look, and redeem themselves with powerful acts of forgiveness or faith. Felicity creators J.J. Abrams (writer, Forever Young) and Matt Reeves (director, Relativity) set out to capture the unique contradictions of young adulthood in this show--in particular, clinging to a precise college track while trying to make sense of post-adolescent love and responsibility--and for the most part succeed very well. Sometimes too well: The storylines may become a little redundant, the drama a tad flat with such singular interest in the muddled passions of 19-year-olds. But each episode is sharply written, comically incisive, and never less than watchable.
Great special features: Keri Russell's audition, audio commentaries, a never-before-seen pilot, and the Felicity Emmy Parody, i.e., a spoof of the TV show produced for an Emmy Award telecast. --Tom Keogh

Digital cameras capture things and instant sharing of the photos has been the need of the day, and connected cameras aim at facilitating this. Most of the digital cameras do not support mobile connectivity, instead they want you to rely on sharing of your photos stored on the camera's memory chip via a computer, which is a slow process.
Connected cameras are the digital cameras which support mobile connectivity for easy and instant sharing of your photos and videos to the internet. The best connected cameras also allow users to edit photos through the touch interface. The shoot-edit-share feature on these cameras makes them dedicated cameras for point and shoot photography with the ease-of-use of smart phones.
The latest connected cameras use WiFi and 3G to upload your captured photos to the web. The uploaded photos can be shared with social media or can be stored using a cloud service.
Mobile photography on connected cameras for sharing real-time photos is specifically preferred over advanced smart phones because of the relatively poor flash and sub-optimal optical zoom performance from the smartphone cameras.
Our listing of best cameras below include some of the best rated connected cameras by experts from around the web.

CBSSports.com Senior Writer Dennis Dodd unveiled his 2011 Hot Seat Ratings for college football and if you pull out the Pac-12 coaches, you'll find the seat is quite toasty - or could be quickly - for at least half of the conference. While Utah's Kyle Whittingham and Washington's Steve Sarkisian don't have anything to worry about, Pac-12 media days might feature a few new faces next year. It almost seems as though the conference has to move to a "hot couch" to fit everybody on it. Here's the list of coaches on the West Coast in order from 5 (brushing off for-sale signs) to 0 (buying second beach house).
Washington State's Paul Wulff: 5.0
UCLA's Rick Neuheisel: 4.0
Arizona State's Dennis Erickson: 3.5
Arizona's Mike Stoops: 2.5
USC's Lane Kiffin: 2.0
Cal's Jeff Tedford: 2.0
Stanford's David Shaw: 1.5
Colorado's Jon Embree: 1.0
Oregon State's Mike Riley: 1.0
Washington's Steve Sarkisian: 0.5
Utah's Kyle Whittingham: 0
Oregon's Chip Kelly: 0
Wulff is the only coach in the country to receive a 5.0 from Dodd. His winning percentage is south of the Mendoza Line (.135 entering 2011) and he probably needs to get the Cougars close to a bowl game in order to get another year. He's an alum of the school and poured all his efforts into rebuilding things on the Palouse but it's hard to overlook his overall record. He's got some talent on offense, notably quarterback Jeff Tuel, so there is some hope.
The coach with the best chance to get off of the seat is Erickson, who has a team full of upperclassmen and is primed to make a run at the first ever Pac-12 South title. He is just barely over .500 in his time in Tempe and has only finished in the upper half of the conference standings once, which is why his seat is third hottest in the conference.
It seems as though Neuheisel has "been on the cusp" of breaking through after two good recruiting classes a few years ago but he'll have to combat a tough schedule to prevent the temperature from rising further. Many have speculated that the school's financial situation is the only thing keeping him around for another year.
Tedford finds himself in the middle of the pack but he knows the situation is fluid. Cal fans' expectations will likely raise next year with the re-opening of Memorial Stadium so while the quarterback guru is probably safe this year, he's not too far away from having his name move higher on the list if things don't go well in 2011. Dodd accurately pegs Kiffin as having a pretty lukewarm seat, unlike what some fans outside Southern California might think. However, like with Chip Kelly, any NCAA trouble will find him shooting up to near the top of the list.
The hot seat is crowded in the Pac-12 and it should be fun to see who gets off of it this season.
One way or another.

Several Pac-12 coaches are on the hot seat

Several Pac-12 coaches are on the hot seat
Neuheisel will be safe for one more year, because UCLA is too cheap to buy out contracts. They will simply not rehire him when his contract runs out, ala Karl Dorrell.
Paul Wulff came to Wazzu in 2008. His team won two games, which was two more than rival Washington did. Last season, rival Washington not only went to a Bowl Game, but pulled off a sstunning upset of Nebraska. Wazzu fans feel that if UDub can do this, so can they. Wulff will need at least 5 wins this season. He may have the schedule and horses to do it.
Dennis Erickson is squarely on the hot seat. Arizona State is picked by many to win the Pac 12 South, especially with USC still on probation and Utah starting year 1 in the Pac 12. Erickson has seen his teams consistantly underachieve, and one more year of that probably will be hiws last.
Spekaing iof underachievers, Jeff Tedford of Cal leads the conference. Oddly enough this season may be his weakest, talent wise. Tedford must win this season. I do not think that 6 wins and a bowl bid may be enough. With a very soft non-con schedule, 7 wins may be a must.

I don't think any of these coaches are on the hot seat except Rick, Dennis, and Tedford. And Tedford should have been fired long ago Cal has probably been the second most talented team in the conference for the last six years not even joking.

The Pac 12 has become a big money conference and that could be bad news for some of these coaches as they have not performed up to big money conference standards. I definitely think the top three names on this list are in need of very good seasons in order to save their jobs. The wildcard here is probably Kelly, and Dodd gave him a zero for some unknown reason. What if the NCAA really finds something? That zero would change real quick. I truly hope that the Oregon situation has a soft landing for the Ducks, but if something bad happened, then he may be let go. In order for me to take a zero seriously, it really needs to be a zero. With Kelly, it is not, even though I really like the guy and think everything will be OK for him and his program.

Marc Beauchamp: Think downtown Redding's bad now?
Like a lot of folks, I fret about all the unsavory and scary-looking types downtown — the druggies and drunks, the thieves, the transients — but things could be worse. Anyone remember California Street in the late Thirties?

Down the stretch _ Phoenix loss gives Stars a little wiggle room
The Stars received more help on Sunday, as the St. Louis Blues beat Phoenix in Arizona, 4-0.
On an interesting note for the Blues, it was their league-leading 14th shutout and further assures they will probably win the Central Division. They now have a seven-point lead on the Predators.
On an interesting note for the Stars, they now have two games in hand and the tiebreaker on Phoenix.
Here are the Pacific standings (with the first tie-breaker of regulation and overtime wins):
Dallas with 87 points in 75 games (34) has the third seed.
Phoenix with 87 points in 77 games (31) has the seventh seed.
Los Angeles with 86 points in 75 games (31) has the eighth seed.
San Jose with 86 points in 75 games (30) has the ninth seed.
Here are highlights from the Blues' win:
St. Louis 4, Phoenix 0 _ The game was 1-0 after two periods, but St. Louis scored three times in the third period to run away. The Blues had a 29-20 edge in shots on goal and went 2-for-3 on the power play. The big news was the Coyotes played the second of back-to-back games and went with Jason Labarbera in goal instead of Mike Smith. Labarbera lost and is now 0-5-3 in his last eight decisions. The Coyotes play one last back-to-back to end the season, so we'll see if Labarbera gets another start.
Other scores in the West:
Edmonton 6, Columbus 3
Washington 3, Minnesota 0
Boston 3, Anaheim 2
Nashville 6, Chicago 1
Games of import on Monday night:
Dallas at Calgary
Los Angeles at Vancouver
Colorado at San Jose
