International Business Machines Corp Stock Buy Recommendation Reiterated (IBM)
TheStreet) -- International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM) has been reiterated by TheStreet Ratings as a buy with a ratings score of A+ . The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its growth in earnings per share, increase in net income, notable return on equity, expanding profit margins and good cash flow from operations. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had generally high debt management risk by most measures that we evaluated.Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (

Marlins' Dee Gordon says he unknowingly took PEDs
MIAMI (AP) Reigning NL batting champion Dee Gordon of the Miami Marlins says he unknowingly took the performance-enhancing drugs that led to his 80-game suspension, but he'll accept the penalty.
The announcement of the suspension by Major League Baseball came shortly after the Marlins' victory at Los Angeles on Thursday night. MLB said Gordon tested positive for exogenous testosterone and clostebol.
"Though I did not do so knowingly, I have been informed that test results showed I ingested something that contained prohibited substances," Gordon said in a statement released Friday by the players union. "The hardest part about this is feeling that I have let down my teammates, the organization, and the fans. I have been careful to avoid products that could contain something banned by MLB and the 20-plus tests that I have taken and passed throughout my career prove this.
"I made a mistake and I accept the consequences."
The 28-year-old Gordon led the majors in hits and stolen bases last year. He batted .333, became an All-Star for the second time and won a Gold Glove at second base.
The big season helped him earn a $50 million, five-year contract he signed in January.
He and Marlins manager Don Mattingly were together with the Dodgers for four years, but Gordon didn't become a regular in Los Angeles until 2014. Gordon was traded to Miami in a seven-player deal in December 2014, and Mattingly became the Marlins' manager this season.
"Dee is always a guy we felt could play, but at that point he was 145 pounds soaking wet," Mattingly said during spring training. "Now he has turned into a man. He has put some physical strength on him, and he's a different player."
Following the suspension announcement, Mattingly said the Marlins will continue to support Gordon.
"I feel like Dee's one of my kids, to be honest with you, because I've known him so long," Mattingly said.
Shortly before the penalty was announced, Gordon hit an RBI single in the seventh inning and scored after forcing a balk as the Marlins rallied for a 5-3 win and a four-game sweep over Los Angeles.
Gordon became the seventh player to be suspended this year under the MLB drug plan. Last week, Toronto slugger Chris Colabello was penalized 80 games after testing positive for a PED.
Miami President David Samson said the Marlins "completely support the drug prevention program in every way."
"Dee Gordon is a very important part of our team, and we all love him and support him," Samson said. "That said, I don't like or condone what he did.
"He will be back 80 games from now, and he will be welcomed back to this organization," he added. "But in the interim period, we expect him, and we are positive that he will do everything that's necessary to make it up to his fans, to his teammates and to this organization."
The speedy Gordon is the son of former All-Star pitcher Tom Gordon.
The MLBPA continues to shoot itself in the foot regarding PEDs
Most players are adamantly anti-PEDs now. Unlike their complicit or passive predecessors, today's players don't, for the most part, accept PEDs as just part of the game. They're competitors and they see PED use as their competition cheating. They consider these guys to be taking money and service time away from other players. They are legitimately angry about it. And they should be.
But the manner in which they have expressed that anger — publicly, emotionally or by being quoted at length by baseball's top writer calling for draconian punishments — is neither the best way to address their concerns about PED use in the game nor is it in their best interests in a larger sense. Indeed, it undermines their interests and sets them up to be taken advantage of by the owners both with respect to PEDs and other matters which affect their lives and their livelihoods.
PED rules and every other rule which affect the circumstances of baseball players are the subject of collective bargaining. It's union stuff, negotiated with ownership. And it's a zero sum game. You make a concession, you get something in return. If you give up something for nothing, you get nothing. It's like any other sort of negotiation. If you cease to treat it as one, you lose your leverage to get what you want. You get no points whatsoever for your personal virtue, your public position and what people not party to the negotiation think of you. Players loudly and publicly proclaiming their desire for the harshest possible PED penalties are like a man in midlife crisis walking into a Porsche dealership wearing a shirt that says "I will not leave here without a red 718 Boxter."
Ownership knows that the players will agree to anything and will even put the anything on the table themselves. And they'll take maximal advantage of the players. For example, maybe the players are in favor of a contract-voiding provision in the narrow case of PED use. Maybe they see it as something confined solely to drug situations. The owners could jump at that knowing full well that, for the first time, the union has caved some on the critical concept of guaranteed contracts in baseball and will use that as a basis to make further inroads later. Maybe the players want to suspend players pending their drug test appeal. The owners will nod and privately acknowledge that players will, in the right cases, negotiate away their due process protections. Once a party caves on something, even if it's a broad concept, it's extraordinarily difficult for them to later present a credible defense to that concept or to claim that it is sacrosanct.
At the same time, maybe there are things the players can actually GAIN if they're more guarded in their approach. Many acknowledge that PED use is, at least in part, a function of players trying to keep their bodies together over the long grind of the baseball season. Meanwhile, players would love more off-days and changes to the schedule. Why not link these issues and, in exchange for some harsher penalties, force the owners to give them some schedule relief? Why not get something they want and need in exchange for giving something up? It's an ideal situation for a party to a negotiation and it's a situation lost if one spends months before the negotiation making it clear that they'll freely give away something that would otherwise have to be paid for.
None of which is to say that the players cannot or should not try to get exactly what they want, up to and including, I dunno, an instant death penalty for PED users if they feel it's necessary. It's to say that, to get that, they have to be unified. They have to agree on a strategy to get what they want and execute it the same way every other strategy is executed in these situations. There is no negotiating strategy that has ever been helped by loudly signaling to your adversary what it is you're trying to accomplish. Being guarded about what it is you value and how you value it in the context of a negotiation does not mean that you don't value it. Demanding that the owners compensate you for an increased PED sanction does not mean that you're pro-PEDs.
I look at Justin Verlander's public comments and the comments of other players who are angry at PED users and I understand where that anger comes from. But I also know that, if Marvin Miller or Don Fehr were running the union today, those comments would be made in communications with union leadership and fellow players for the purposes of developing a strategy, not in public for the purposes of venting anger. They would form the basis of a consensus with which a unified MLBPA could approach ownership in a way best calculated to accomplish the players' goals. As I put it rather crudely on Twitter this morning, if players in Miller and Fehr's day spoke publicly in a way that undermined the MLBPA's negotiation leverage, they'd end up in body bags.
This morning I wonder what Tony Clark is doing to address the legitimate anger of players like Justin Verlander. Does he have their confidence that he can accomplish what they want to accomplish with respect to harsher PED penalties? Are their public comments actually frustration by players at what they perceive to be a union which doesn't value their concerns? Or, alternatively, are the players simply not as invested in the sort of unanimity of voice that all unions require to be successful? And if so, why not? Is it because they're complacent or has MLBPA leadership simply not done as good a job explaining to them the real consequences of a failure of solidarity?
Dee Gordon's suspension is not, in and of itself, a big deal. But it could have some big repercussions. The MLBPA and its membership had best be on the same page, publicly and privately, if they want to ride out the repercussions and shape their future in a way that best serves their interests. As opposed to the interests of ownership which, in the context of the CBA, is their adversary, even if their interests often coincide.
Dee Gordon's suspension is likely to lead to a call for harsher PED penalties
Objectively speaking there is no difference between Dee Gordon's suspension for PEDs and anyone else's. Abraham Almonte, for example. Or Cameron Maybin. Or David Rollins. All were guys who got their 80 games, served their time, came back and whose cases didn't raise too much of a fuss. But Gordon's suspension will almost certainly be talked about longer and more loudly and will likely lead to calls for harsher penalties and changes to the PED suspension rules.
Part of it is simply fame. He's a pretty big name as far as these things go. The biggest since the Biogenesis guys a couple of years ago. He won the batting title last year. He's the son of a famous major leaguer. There is a direct correlation between the volume and intensity of the narratives applied to one's story and the fame of the subject of the story. For that reason alone Gordon's story will last longer and loom larger.
Another reason — a bigger reason, I think — is timing. Gordon was seen by many to have had a breakout season in 2015 and, when it was over, he was rewarded for it with a nice five-year $50 million deal. The narrative will arise by, oh, 9AM today, that the suspension was "worth it" for Gordon and that he cashed in because of it, rendering his suspension a mere slap on the wrist. This is especially true given that his deal is severely backloaded. He'll lose less than $2 million in salary in 2016 while collecting the other $48 million-plus. Totally worth it!
I understand why people will say that, but such a stance has some serious flaws. Among them:
- It assumes that we or anyone else knows when Gordon began to take PEDs;
- It assumes that we or anyone else knows how, in fact, Gordon's performance was actually enhanced;
- It forgets that lots and lots of people were talking about how Gordon's "breakout season" was actually 2014, not 2015, rendering that whole "he juiced and then got his money" argument fairly problematic.
Those points will likely be ignored as arguments in favor of harsher penalties grow louder. Ken Rosenthal reminds us this morning that some have called for some form of contract voiding or clawing back of more money than just the salary earned while on suspension. Those calls too will likely grow louder. There will also be calls for changes in the appeal process. Like this one, which came moments after Gordon's suspension was announced:
When you have an actual union member angrily call for the repeal of a collectively-bargained protection in punishment situations, you're sort of through the looking glass. Or past a tipping point. Or something. You're certainly in a world where the usual dynamics between employer and employee are not operative and, as a result, changes are inevitable. As we noted recently, players today are perhaps more adamantly anti-PED than the owners and the league are. They're competitors reacting to cheating by their competition. The fuel for stronger penalties is likely to come more from them than anyone.
The union and the league will be negotiating a new Collective Bargaining Agreement this year. Performance enhancing drugs and their penalties will be a part of that. Expect harsher penalties and possibly different sorts of rules altogether. Expect Dee Gordon to be the poster child for these changes, even if his case is no different in form than that of Abraham Almonte, Cameron Maybin, or David Rollins. Expect emotion, rather than logic, to lead the coming debate.
And That Happened: Thursdays scores and highlights
Gonna mail this one in this morning. Partially because of the light slate of games yesterday, partially because of a late night for me but mostly because of the Dee Gordon news which has me thinking of a lot of other things I want to write about this AM.
It's worth noting that the Braves won a game. It comes just ahead of a series at Wrigley against the Cubs, so the winning streak will likely last a single day, but the 2016 Braves have to take what they can get.
The Marlins had a notable night outside the Gordon news too, finishing off a sweep of the Dodgers, which had to make Don Mattingly happy. For what it's worth, Gordon singled in a run and then came around to score in the seventh. His RBI tied it and the run he scored ended up being the one necessary for the Marlins' margin of victory. That means nothing, but you know some jackwagons are gonna make a big deal out of that and I figured I'd get ahead of the jackwagons and note that, yes, Gordon and the Marlins knew what was coming before it was announced because that's how the appeals process works, but no, it makes no difference, because that's how the appeals process works.
Anyway: Here are the rest of the scores:
Tigers 7, Athletics 3
Cubs 7, Brewers 2
Phillies 3, Nationals 0
Orioles 10, White Sox 2
Braves 5, Red Sox 3
Diamondbacks 3, Cardinals 0
Marlins 5, Dodgers 3
Pirates vs. Rockies — POSTPONED: In the early morning rain with a dollar in my hand. And an aching in my heart, and my pockets full of sand. I'm a long way from home, and I miss my loved one so. In the early morning rain with no place to go.

Bank of America Diehard Waiting for $13 a Share: Street Whispers
recent survey by America Banker and Reputation Institutein which banks as an industry struggled but Bank of America fared especially poorly.Finger believes Bank of America needs to undergo a sweeping effort to overhaul its image, similar to what Chrysler did with Lee Iacocca in the 1980's. He fears consumers looking to open a bank account or take out a mortgage simply don't consider Bank of America at this point because they don't trust the bank. Fixing this will require "more than just running a couple of ads," Finger says. Most alarming to Finger, however, is that he doesn't "get the sense that there's a great sense of alarm anywhere in the executive suite that this is an important issue." An email message to two Bank of America spokesmen wasn't returned. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York. Follow this writer on Twitter."How does that ultimately get resolved and how long does that take?" Finger asks. "I think that's an area where they could shed some additional light on their strategy in terms of what their plans are. One thing we'd like to see is a better explanation to shareholders about whether they've looked at putting Countrywide into bankruptcy and, if so, what are the results of that analysis?" Finger also expressed grave concerns about Bank of America's brand, citing a

Who is the best tour guide that does the best with doing all the rapids, and if two days, clean overnight and good meal? I am going to be there between May 13 - 17
Hi there helpful travellers,
I've decided to defer my acceptance to Columbia in NY for a year and take the opportunity to move to Costa Rica. I'm an Acroyoga teacher and currently work in international development here in Canada; I've travelled 54 countries so far in my life so have a bit of experience with getting settled in new places, meeting people, and so on.
That being said, I would really appreciate some advice - I'm looking to construct a list of probably 4-5 places on the pacific…
My SO and I were going to do a week trip in either Costa Rica, Panama, or Nicaragua in mid-August. I've been researching about what to do but all of the travel sights hype up every place so all of them look quite similar.
Cost is the most important thing to us, however safety (obviously) and access to excursions are also a really big deal, we aren't the type to sit in the hotel all day. Has anyone been to these three places, or has been to one that they recommend heavily? Also, which…
Good morning. I am an older traveler, age 63 wishing to visit Costa rica for 10 days this summer.I will be alone and am a seasoned traveler. Can anyone provide any suggestions as to where to go, how to split up the trip. I am interested in beautiful scenery as well as the cultural/history component of the country.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
We have had some great advice from here to date.
We are family of 4 (two kids aged 13 and 10) visiting mid July to end of August and seem to be picking up conflicting advice re: health:
1) Do we definitely need Hep A and Typhoid injections? Any other jabs recommended (we are not great vaccination fans and kids have only had basic triple vaccine you have to have plus tetanus. Not had MMR.
2) We are going to Caribe side but not off beaten track particularly. Do we need any kind of malarial…
Hey everyone! I'm thinking of going to Costa Rica in July, mainly to hit the coast and do some snorkeling. I was wondering just how rainy is the rainy season? I mean, if I'm gonna be stuck inside all day just watching the beach from my window I'll just reschedule... Thanks a lot!
Hi all
I'm travelling with my family (kids 6 and 8 years old) to Costa Rica in June. To get there, we have to change flights in Panama City. Our local health service and the LP-guide recommend to have a yellow fever vaccination certificate, otherwise you risk that Costa Rica won't let you enter the country. Since we don't stay in Panama (only airport), we would like to avoid unnecessary vaccinations. So our questions are: Does Costa Rica really require the yellow fever vaccination certificate…
Turns out we have an extra day and night, our first in CR, before our rental is available in Punta Uva July 28. We get in to San Jose at 7:30am on July 27. We could stay in San Jose, I was just wondering if there were some place along the way to Punta Uva we should stop and stay the night? Or should we just get out to the Coast and find a place for the night there. We are already spending a week in La Fortuna after our week in Punta Uva. We will have a 4wd rental car.
Hi. I'm an environmental biology grad student, looking for tours in research centers (mammal biology preferred, but not necessary.) We will be staying in Monteverde for a few days, then heading south to Nosara. After a week, we're heading north to Playa del Coco. The research centers I've found require at least a week's stay at their facilities. I would just like to spend the day. Any suggestions? Also, is the bat tour in Monteverde worth the time? Not sure of the name of it. Thanks…
Just looking for advice on an itinerary for my family trip to Costa Rica in July. We're a family of 4, one 7 year old and one little one just under a year old. My wife and I visited the Mal Pais area years ago and loved it. We're planning to rent a 4x4. My wife and I traveled quite a bit before having kids but this will be the first trip outside North America with the whole family. We're very active in the outdoors and lean more towards the adventurous/ budget end of things rather than…

'After all we've done for you, you've started messing around again': What murder trial father allegedly told Shafilea on night she disappeared
- Iftikhar Ahmed, 52, accused of suffocating Shafilea, 17, with plastic bag
- Mr Ahmed 'blamed his wife for not bringing up their daughter properly'
- Threatened to 'do the same to wife and daughters if they asked about Shafilea's death'
- Mr Ahmed claims his wife is 'under stress' and questions her 'state of mind'
- Jury hears transcripts of covert police recordings of parents discussing how to use the media to 'pin it' on somebody else
- Jury shown video of Shafilea attending family wedding in Pakistan in 2003
A father on trial for the murder of his teenage daughter because of her westernised lifestyle accused her of 'messing again after all we have done for you', a court was told yesterday.
Iftikhar Ahmed, 52, is alleged to have suffocated 17-year-old Shafilea with a plastic bag after months of rows about her refusal to follow her parents' Pakistani culture.
Earlier this week his wife Farzana, 49, who is also accused of murder, dramatically changed her account of the night their daughter was last seen alive.
Scroll down to watch home video of Shafilea
'Beatings': Iftikhar Ahmed, left, is accused of hitting daughter Shafilia on the night she died. His wife Farzana, right, is also on trial accused of killing her
Cross-examining Ahmed at Chester Crown Court yesterday, Mrs Ahmed's barrister described for the first time what she claims her husband said as he attacked Shafilea.
Victim: Shafilea disappeared in September 2003 and her body was found on the bank of the River Kent in Cumbria the following February
Mukhtar Hussain QC suggested to Ahmed that he said: 'After all we have done for you, we have done so much for you and you have started messing again.'
Ahmed denied this, adding: 'She hadn't done anything.'
Mr Hussain also alleged that when Mrs Ahmed tried to intervene, her husband told her 'it was all her fault for not bringing up Shafilea properly and she was not a good mother'.
Ahmed denied this too, insisting he had always regarded his wife as a good mother.
In her new statement, Mrs Ahmed claims she fled upstairs as the attack took place and that the following morning her husband told her never to ask what had happened to Shafilea.
Yesterday Mr Hussain told Ahmed his wife 'would very much like to know where you took her daughter'.
Ahmed replied: 'I would like to know the same as her because I never left the house and she knows I haven't.'
The prosecution claims that Shafilea's parents killed her in September 2003 at their home in Warrington because her refusal to change her westernised lifestyle brought her into conflict with their concept of 'shame and honour'.
Her body was found five months later in Cumbria. However the parents were not charged with murder until Shafilea's younger sister Alesha told police in 2010 that she had witnessed the attack..
Evidence: A video of Shafilea Ahmed at a wedding in Pakistan was shown to the jury
Smiling: Shafilea Ahmed with an unidentified girl in the video of a family wedding from February 2003
Shafilea (front left) sits with other women and girls at the family wedding
The jury saw footage of Shafilea dining next to a female who cannot be identified for legal reasons
On trial: Iftikhar Ahmed, left, and Farzana Ahmed, right, are alleged to have killed their 17-year-old daughter because she refused to obey them
Family home: The Ahmeds lived in this house in Warrington, Cheshire. Shafilea's remains were discovered in Cumbria in 2004
Their father maintains he believed Shafilea had run away from home, as she had done twice before.
Tears: Iftikhar Ahmed cries in 2004 when Shafilea's body was found
He blamed the new account being given by his wife on her mental state
after being taken into custody, saying she was suffering from
'I am not saying she has made it up,' he said yesterday. 'She is under stress.'
He said his daughter Alesha, now 23, was simply lying, while her sister Mevish, who allegedly told a friend she witnessed the attack, but has told the court she made it up, had dreamed it all
Ahmed denied being a 'domineering and violent man' and said he could not remember why his wife briefly left the family home in 2002 with their five children.
He also denied planning to place Shafilea into an arranged marriage with a relative during a family trip to Pakistan in February 2003.
Earlier this week, Ahmed said Shafilea's disappearance had 'destroyed' the family.
Yesterday prosecutor Andrew Edis QC said: 'We can agree, your family has been destroyed.
'It's been destroyed by you and your wife killing your first-born in the presence of your other children.'
Ahmed replied: 'We did not kill our daughter.'
The couple both deny murder and the trial continues.

Nice one Dean - thanks again - much appreciated.
One more thing / suggestion - came to me yesterday when I saw your first screen shots of "XMB" theme / mode. What about introducing the Alises for the paths in some display modes? Either fixed or even better user defined via ini file.
So instead of for example /dev_USB001/GAMES/ in front of each game we'd see only [U1] (for first USB drive) and for internal let's say [HD] or [IN] or whatsoever and so on. This would make some modes easier to read as the path is anyway most of the time the same anyway.
I use Multiman 1.17.04 to backup game. I failed to copy game to external hard drive. Idk why? Some games I can copy, some games I can not, it display have a fatal error. Can anyone help me plz??
Very nice update deank, and promoted the news to the main page now as well... +Rep!
that looks great dean, thanks as always.
i'm hoping that there will be a disc-less version soon, my bluray is shot or a way to play from my pc's blu ray drive without taking it out of my pc.
good work by the way Dean, i just wished i could use it fully.
Hi Dean! I know you get 1000 requests a day, but need to ask you though:
Can we get the ability of playing MKV-files from external NTFS-hdd?
-Multiman can read NTFS-disks flawlessly
-Showtime can play mkv-files from internal hdd flawlessly
1) Pass pvd_usb0 to showtime
2) Mount it to something like app_home so showtime can read it
Would be soooo awesome
Thank you so much
Thanks for the great updates Dean! As always, excited to see the excellent changes you make to your awesome proggie!
Love the new XMB menu..A LOT!!.. One thing that would be a great improvement is the ability to hold down an arrow or thumb-stick and scroll continuously. Currently have you have to click down each time you want to scroll through the list. Know what I mean?
THanks a Ton!

Amazon is having some growing pains. The local corporate giant had just recently moved into a new complex of office buildings in South Lake Union, yet those buildings have already been maxed out. So Amazon, poised for a massive hiring binge, is planning to build several skyscrapers office towers close to downtown Seattle. Everyone wants to know: What will the new buildings look like?
Amazon has offered multiple layout designs for the three-block area of Denny Triangle bordered by Westlake Avenue, 6th Avenue, and Blanchard Street. These pictures are of Amazon's preferred plan. To view all the plans, the City of Seattle has posted the presentation online here:
The angle of the buildings allows a clear view of the Olympics from Capitol Hill and creates a central plaza area. The U-shaped white building in front to the left is currently under construction and the tall white building on the front right edge is the Westin Building. That's supposed to be Cap Hill in the background:
Currently the bottom left block is home to the King Cat Theater. The bottom right block is the Sixth Avenue Inn, and the top block is a Toyota dealership. All three will be closed and leveled for Amazon buildings. Retail space is planned along the ground level of 7th Avenue:

"Guimarães" Top 5 Page for this destination Guimarães by micas_pt
Guimarães Travel Guide: 163 reviews and 539 photos
Guimarães is European Capital of Culture in 2012; so, for now, as I write this, the city is pampering itself and getting even more beautiful and ready for the upcoming events.
The city is under major refurbishments and traffic is chaotic. No places to park your car, temporary road signs, different directions, a lot of scaffolding, noise and dust.
But don't let be put down by this: Guimarães has a lot to offer and is so charming. It is the birthplace of Portugal, there's a feel of history in every corner, it's classified by Unesco as World Heritage Site, it's well-kept, food is delicious, people are welcoming, but weather may sometimes be extreme: very hot or very cold, depends on when you visit.
Guimarães is situated on the northwest of Portugal, in the District of Braga; this region is named Minho. It is situated about 55km from Porto (Portugal's second main city, usually referred to as the Capital of the North) and about 365km from Lisbon. Also, from Braga the capital city of this District it is just a short trip of about 20km.

Songs Of Yesterday - Poem by AaI Harvey
Songs of yesterday.
I sang those songs of love since I was a boy,
Way back before the world could ever bring me down.
Motown lead the way and music was my favourite toy,
Way before I ever knew video like I know it now.
Those songs of love that lit the way;
Those songs of love sang yesterday.
Those songs I will never forget or replace;
Those loving songs of yesterday.
Since I was a child of love,
I tried my best to turn out good.
But my life turned out to be a struggle
And I ended up in a little trouble, I guess.
I did some things I should never have done,
When I was only looking for a little fun.
But I crashed and burned like a dying sun
And landed down in the song for the forgotten.
Those songs of love that lit the way;
Those songs of love sang yesterday.
Those songs I will never forget or replace;
Those loving songs of yesterday.
Come with me and sing my songs;
I only came alone to turn you on.
I only came to make you think;
So break out past your lungs and let me hear you sing.

Is fee or free a better business model for app developers?
The utility app market today reminds me a lot of publishing industry. Like publishers, developers who want to make money off their apps have two ways of going about it: Charging advertisers or charging users.
I've always wondered who pays more than 99 cents or so for an app. This came to mind again while writing an article today about a new app launched by ratings and reviews publication Consumer Reports. The app costs $9.99 per year and will increase to $14.99 January 1. For that fee, shoppers can use their phones to scan a bar code on a product and get access to Consumer Reports ratings, reviews, buying guides, a comparison shopping engine, prices for the product at nearby stores and more. The app is basically a beefed-up version of free apps already on the market such as myShopanion and eBay's RedLaser.
As for me, I've decided to stick with the freebies. When it comes to my phone, I don't want much information—I want the basics. I like my mobile life quick and easy. I don't need nor do I desire to do the same things on my phone that I would with my PC or TV.
I'd rather use a less extensive comparison shopping app such as myShopanion via my phone and pay for a subscription to the Consumer Reports web site where I can spend an hour on my couch researching a significant purchase like a fridge or a patio set. Unless stuck in an airport or on an elevator, I'm not going to use my phone to do this. (Elevators don't usually get reception anyways).
Other apps I've found that charge such as games and budgeting tools fall into the same boat. If I'm really into gaming, I'll pay to play it on the big screen with a bigger picture and a controller that gives me more tools to manipulate my army or superhero or football player. For an app, give me a basic wordplay game that will keep me occupied on my train ride home. As for robust budgeting apps, I don't need those on my phone either. Who wants to analyze their spending patterns over the past several months on a phone? I'll do that at home in my comfy leather chair, on a full size Excel spreadsheet and likely with a glass of wine to ease the pain. For my phone, give me something pared-down and simple, perhaps an alert if I'm overdrawn on my account or a notification when my paycheck posts.
Now comes the second question: if developers don't charge much or anything for apps, how will they make money? Advertising is one answer. I'd happily endure a small banner at the bottom of a game or view a five-second ad after I scan a bar code if the app were free. Developers also can charge affiliate fees, much like web sites. If an app user visits a shopping app advertised on a gaming app and ends up buying, the app developer could collect a fee.
I know that complaining about $9.99 and even $14.99 a year may seem trivial. It's the equivalent of around 4 cents a day. But if charging for apps becomes the norm, those prices could steadily begin to add up. I already paid $200 for my phone and I pay $100 per month to keep it on. I'd really prefer not to add any more fees under the "mobile" category in my budget.
I love apps, they make my life more entertaining (Words with Friends), keep me informed (New York Times, NPR) and come in quite handy at times (Urban Spoon, Happy Hours). But I just need a nibble of the serving I would want at home or on my computer. And if you try to charge me for the whole plate, I'm not buying.

Pesky Kings give Lakers run for money
LOS ANGELES – On Sunday, the Lakers play a much-anticipated game against the Miami Heat and public enemy No. 1 Dwyane Wade.
Wade gave the Lakers' Kobe Bryant a mild concussion, broken nose and sore neck in Sunday's All-Star Game. He's the reason Bryant is wearing a protective mask.
But before the Lakers could take aim at the Heat, they had to take care of the lowly Sacramento Kings, a task that proved harder than it looked.
The Kings pushed the Lakers Friday before succumbing, 115-107, at Staples Center.
"It was an interesting game," Lakers coach Mike Brown said. "I'm going to take the win."
The Lakers were facing the worst shooting team in the league and one that had won just four road games. The Kings should have folded against the Lakers defense, which ranks third in the league in field-goal percentage.
Instead, the Lakers took their time finding their offensive balance and get their defense in gear. They limited the Kings to just 16 third-quarter points on their way to what appeared to be a comfortable 92-74 lead.
The Kings didn't show any signs of fatigue, though, in their second game of a back-to-back and took one more run at the Lakers in the fourth quarter.
Trailing 94-74, they outscored the Lakers bench players, 21-6, including an 11-0 run that was capped by a Jimmer Fredette 3-pointer to pull to 100-95.
"Part of me thought we relaxed a little bit (in the fourth)," Brown said. "We had put the reserves in, and for some reason, they couldn't get it going. You know how this league is, when one team makes a few in a row, they start to feel it."
Bryant again didn't seem to have any trouble playing with the mask and scored a game-high 38 points with eight rebounds.
Andrew Bynum added 19 points and 15 rebounds, while Pau Gasol had 15 points and seven rebounds. Metta World Peace (15 points) and Matt Barnes (10 points) also scored in double figures.

David Ferrer annoyed with baby
Updated: March 30, 2011, 8:13 PM ETAssociated Press
KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. -- A baby was bawling, and Sony Ericsson Open quarterfinalist David Ferrer wasn't too happy, either.
Trailing in his match and annoyed by the crying, Ferrer directed a forehand lob toward the infant after losing his serve midway through the second set Wednesday.
The ball didn't come close to the youngster when it landed in the stands, but the crying stopped.
"It was in one moment of the match, but nothing special," Ferrer said. "It was not the problem."
Instead, ...

I am having difficulty getting my 13 mo. to eat baby foods with chunks of veggies in it (carrots, pasta, etc) and he is picky on eating finger foods that aren't crackers, bread, grilled cheese, french toast, pancakes, pizza parts, or grains in general. The only things soft and mushy he will eat are pears, sometimes string cheese, occassionally mashed up beans,and avacado occassionally. I have tried eggs, different kinds of melons, steamed veggies (carrots, squash). Any suggestions?

Just keep presenting them. My daughter started to get picky around 18 mos. She turned three recently and is finally coming around to a few things.
Smoothies are a good way to get some foods in kids. My daughter would only eat carrots in chicken soup, so maybe try different seasonings for the veggies.
Good luck!

Trevitt's blog: Ducati's MotoGP wings
Over the past several seasons of MotoGP, Ducati has occasionally experimented with wings on the side of the Desmosedici to influence its aerodynamic characteristics. Yamaha also used wings in the latter part of last season on the M1, and wings have sporadically appeared on other bikes in the past. Until late last year the wings in use have been quite small, but during testing this year the Ducatis have sprouted two very large wings on each side.

Miranda Kerr On Her Style and Motherhood: "I Focus on Staying in the Moment"Shana Aborn
Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr is super indeed! Her style turns heads everywhere she goes, she's married to (sigh) Orlando Bloom and has a beautiful 8-month-old son, Flynn.
She talks to Harper's Bazaar this month about the looks she relies on, how she stays healthy, and how her son keeps her centered. She also shows off her super-slim post-baby figure in a rather revealing exclusive shot!
Her personal style icons: Audrey Hepburn, and her own grandmother, whose farm she visited often while growing up. "She taught me that you don't have to have a lot of money to have style. It's the way you put things together and how you carry yourself."
The one item she just bought for fall: A leather baseball cap she saw on Instagram.
Her diet philosophy: "Rather than diet, my family instilled in me a real appreciation and passion for good health and organic living. I adopt the 80/20 rule – 80 percent good, 20 percent indulgent."
How motherhood has affected her healthy lifestyle: "I live by the philosophy that beauty starts from within, and I make a conscious effort to fill my body with nutrients through the food I eat. Becoming a mother has made me even more aware and more passionate about nutrition and wellness. I love when we are all together as a family and I can cook really healthy, delicious meals for them."
Read more here! (Warning: Image not suitable for work viewing)
How she stays hydrated and healthy: Kerr drinks warm water with lemon in the morning and lots of purified alkaline water during the day. She also has Noni juice twice a day, a treat her grandmother introduced her to.
Her life with Flynn: "Most of my childhood was spent outdoors climbing trees, swimming in the river, riding dirt bikes and horses, and I would like Flynn to experience all of these things."
On riding dirt bikes now: "I definitely still love motorbikes; however, since having Flynn I haven't been riding much these days. A lot of my adventures come from chasing Flynn around and watching him grow."
On being a working mom: "Time seems to slow down when I focus on living in the moment, and that helps me maintain a sense of balance. When I'm with Flynn, my phone is switched off and I stay away from my laptop. It means the time I do spend with him is quality time. Life seems to be busy for most people, and if you know you are doing the best you can, then there really is nothing more you can do than that."
