SHORT TAKES: Michigan teams set for March Madness
When the Big Ten's men's basketball regular season ended with a three-way tie between Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State, it was the hope of many folks in the area that the championship issue would be settled with a Big Ten Tournament Sunday showdown between MSU and Michigan.
That was not to be, however, because of Ohio State's Saturday slaughter of the overwhelmed Wolverines. Sunday's subsequent MSU vs. OSU battle was a great show, however, with an even greater ending. The Spartans prevailed, 68-64, and now are rightfully this year's Big Ten champion.
• • • •
The victory earned Michigan State a No. 1 seed in the West Region of the NCAA tournament beginning this week. The Spartans will play Long Island University-Brooklyn in Columbus, Ohio, on Friday 9:20 p.m. The winner will play Sunday against the winner of the Memphis vs. St. Louis matchup.
• • • •
Michigan, a fourth seed in the Midwest Region, will play Mid-American Conference Champion Ohio University on Friday in Nashville, Tenn., at 7:20 p.m. The winner of that game will play the emergent winner Sunday from a Friday game between Temple and the winner of an earlier Wednesday game between the University of South Florida and California.
• • • •
We're on daylight saving time now, and let's hope that all your clocks are sprung ahead.
There are only nine more days of winter, the ice is breaking up on the lakes, and the weather is calling for temperatures in the 60s this week.
Climate change notwithstanding, winters don't get much milder than this one. Given the financial struggles facing a lot of families these days, it has been a blessing.

What with college basketball's March Madness starting, and St Patrick's Day next weekend, there'll be plenty of entertainment opportunities. Check out today's edition of The Buzz for two pages of St. Patrick's Day event listings and other area offerings.

The Nationwide has released data suggesting that British house prices have fallen by around 1% between February and March 2012. Confirming the gloomy picture is the Bank of England data which has identified a fall in the number of mortgages being approved by high street banks in February. This was despite an increase in mortgages being approved up until January.
There are a number of reasons which have been identified as a cause for this drop. The main one being the end of the stamp duty concession for first time buyers purchasing properties between £125,000 and £250,000 being reinstated. Over the previous 6 months there had been a rush by first time buyers to take advantage of this concession seen by a average rise month on month over the last half year.
Nationwide explained that around 65% of first-time buyers would pay stamp duty in the coming year. For an estimated 100,000 buyers, that would add an average of about £1,800 to the purchase price of a home costing between £125,000 and £250,000.
Economists are desperate to identify positive vibes in the economy however these statistics are another depressing indication that the UK has some way to get to the strong economic environment of the early 2000's.
The mortgage lender, Nationwide also suggested that prices dipped in all but three regions of the UK in the first three months of the year compared with the previous quarter.
Regionally the picture remains similar, with only 3 regions in the UK which saw any rise, the north of England, Scotland and Greater London. The greatest rise was seen in the north of England which saw a growth of 0.6% between January and March. While Wales saw the greatest fall of 3.1% during the same period.
As has been the case for many years now, London saw the fastest house price growth year on year with a rate of 2.3%, with prices falling the most in Northern Ireland, down 8.6%.
For more information on the falling house prices or anything else on the British economy please contact us here.

Hi all,
I've recently carried out a few mods to my car I have an e46 touring sport 184bhp 330d. My mods include:
Decat down pipe (Eco tune)
Egr delete
Front mount intercooler (universal one)
6 speed box conversion
Car is serviced very regularly and well looked after. It was remapped last week and made 208bhp and 358ft/lbs of torque.
The car definitely goes better now but I can't help but think I should have got slightly more bhp? I know a big diesel is all about torque and my torque output is pretty good but I just wandered if anyone had any input or a similar experience? The car pulls well but it just feels like it has more to give if that makes sense? The tuner said the bhp was down a bit but he didn't seem concerned as the torque was up? I am wandering whether I have a small boost leak (although I can't hear anything) could this cause low bhp and high torque?
I hope someone can help and any advice is much appreciated. I would upload the dyno graph but can't as my camera is bust on my phone! The tuner has said if I'm not happy he will try adjusting things again for me.
I look forward to your responses thanks!

Google Inc. kicked off its sixth annual developer conference Wednesday morning at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. While it's an event primarily aimed at developers, Google I/O is also closely watched by tech fans looking to find out what new hardware, products and services Google might come out with next.
Here are some highlights from Google's keynote:
• Google Maps is getting a radical new revamp, which the company is calling "the biggest change to Google Maps since Google Maps originally launched" in 2005. It includes a streamlined interface, and a more personalized experience with reviews from friends and family on Google+ overlaid on the map.
• Google is introducing 41 new features to its Google Plus social network, which Google is positioning as an alternative to Facebook.
• In a challenge to online music providers like Spotify, Google unveiled Google Play Music All Access, an online music subscription service, which the company says will feature over 2 million songs. The service is available for $9.99 a month, with a 30-day trial.
• A new Samsung Galaxy S4: It will run a stock version of the Android operating system, Jelly Bean 4.2, and be sold unlocked through Google's online store for $649. No word on Canadian availability.
• The audience of about 6,000 engineers, entrepreneurs and media also heard that the tech giant's Android mobile operating system has been activated on 900 million devices made by Samsung Electronics Co., HTC Corp. and other manufacturers. In 2012, there were 400 million activations.
• A new family of APIs for Android Game developers was also announced. Google Play game services will offer cloud storage of saved games, achievements and leader boards, the company said.

As always, we know you have a choice of live blogs for your tech readings, and we're always pleased when you choose to spend your time with us.
Thanks for joining us today.
Sincere thanks to all of you who joined us for this wild ride. I hope we added something to your Google I/O experience beyond what the live stream had to offer.
Suffie to say, things sort of petered out there near the end with Larry's Q&A.
Okay folks. That's it.
It's true. I'm getting the impression that Larry Page sees it as he's more concerned with the core business, search, Maps, and everything else, while Sergey is off playing around with Glass.
Larry seems kinda meh on Glass. Keeps pointing to it as a Sergey thing
— Farhad Manjoo (@fmanjoo) May 15, 2013
Boom. Google just passed the $300 Billion dollar company mark.
— Aaron Levie (@levie) May 15, 2013
Says the goal is to get Glass out to developers, in the hands of people who can build experiences that make people happy.
A protest of some sort has bust into the Google conference. They're downstairs screaming "No justice, no peace."
— Omar El Akkad (@omarelakkad) May 15, 2013
These kinds of Q&As very rarely turn out the way the people who organize them expect them to.
"Glass is a new category. It's quite different from existing computing devices."
A question from Vancouver. Canada! Canada!
Larry Page thinks a lot of things are sad today.
Larry Page calls protecting freedom of speech the "area of our business where things get interesting."
Woman from Columbia wants to know how Google will help protect freedom of speech.
"We certainly struggle with people like Microsoft. We've had a great relationship with Mozilla, I think." – Larry Page.
— Matthew Braga (@mattbraga) May 15, 2013
Whoa, Page calling out Microsoft's "sad" Google Talk integration with Outlook without reciprocation.
— Daniel Bader (@journeydan) May 15, 2013
Sundar Pichai wasn't lying when he said there wasn't going to be much new.
So it would seem that there's no real "wow" moment in this keynote.
It really does.
Maybe I'm wrong, but that new Vince Vaughn movie The Internship — about two middle aged guys who get internships at Google — looks utterly terrible.
Wow. Larry Page is taking questions from the audience.
Something tells me Mr. Page's heartfelt chat would have gone over better earlier on, just not at the end of a very long, 3 hour, no bathroom break keynote.
I don't know about Bader, but people are pretty restless ove here.
People are hanging on Page's every word. This is true respect.
— Daniel Bader (@journeydan) May 15, 2013
"Being negative is not how we make progress. And the most important things are not zero sum. There's a lot of opportunity out there."
It's a rule of corporate presentations that if you're the CEO or the founder you get to talk for as long as you want about whatever.
— Omar El Akkad (@omarelakkad) May 15, 2013
"I'm amazed every day I come to work, the list of things that need to be done is longer than the day before, and the opportunity is bigger than it was before."
Larry's pulling together all the threads. All the different things discussed today. How easy some of the experiences demonstrated today felt.
"I'm tremendously excited about all the innovation you're bringing to life. Technology should handle the hard work so that people can get to what makes them happiest in life." – Larry Page to developers.
This is a bit of a weird speech from Larry. A bit hard to follow, but he seems to be waxing poetically about how amazing technology is and how far we've come.
Google CEO Larry Page is now on stage. Speaking in his very hushed voice. Poor guy, sucks about his vocal chord condition.
Larry in the house.
— MattRosoff (@MattRosoff) May 15, 2013
The new Google Maps is available starting today. Preview on the desktop.
Oh wow. Google has real-time cloud data in Google Maps now when you zoom far enough out.
Real-time clouds in Google maps!
Photosphere is user-generated street view. Any user can take a picture from inside a building and submit it to Google Maps. A photo taken on-stage earlier was just shown in maps.
Google Maps has defined modern mapping
— Bernhard Seefeld product director of Google Maps
Google Maps improvements demonstrate why no one's likely to catch up in this arena anytime soon #IO
— Dan Gillmor (@dangillmor) May 15, 2013
"This is the roof of Moscone from a skydiver's perspective."
The demo just zoomed inside of that basilica to show us a 3D photo tour generated from user posted photos.
The Google Earth experience, with 3D models and imagery, is now in the browser version of Google Maps. No doubt because of WebGL.
New schedule viewer for public transit schedules and directions looks slick.
Dynamic re-routing in Google Maps! Yay! That's been such a weird oversight for so long. #io13
— Molly Wood (@mollywood) May 15, 2013
The demo now is showing roads that are highlighted and labelled based on points of reference, destinations.
Google and PlayStation both need to start thinking shorter when they plan their next keynotes.
Wondering: products that don't get a mention at the Google IO keynote — are they next on the chopping block?
— Mike Masnick (@mmasnick) May 15, 2013
"The map is the user interface."
There's now jus a small search bar overlayed on the map that you use to search, and results show up beneath in Cards, like Google Now.
New maps are vector based. In other words, they're not tiles any more.
As rumoured, Google Maps is ditching the side bar. The map fills up the entire screen now.
"Google Maps has defined modern mapping."
It's funny, because that's really not much of an exaggeration.
What if you could build a map for you? A map that adapts to what you do?
Three things missing with Google Maps says Seefeld.
Bernhard Seefeld product director of Google Maps and Jonah Jones, lead designer of Google Maps, are up now.
Google Maps continues to get better, on more platforms, etc.
Coming this summer.
Google Maps is coming to iPad. Finally.
The preview of Google Map on Android looks a lot like Google Maps on iOS. That's a good thing.
— NathanOlivarez-Giles (@nateog) May 15, 2013
A new five point rating scale across all Google Maps products. I assume that's a byproduct of the Zagat acquisition ages ago?
I was just thinking there was a distinct lack of jokes at Apple's expense in this Maps talk.
Preview of the next version of Google Maps for iOS and Android happening now.
Graf just took a dig at Apple there. Said Google Maps for iOS was lauded for being "accurate".
We're talking about the next-generation of mobile Maps with Daniel Graf, director of Google Maps.
We're talking about the next-generation of mobile Maps with Daniel Graf, director of Google Maps.
Finally looked at Google Music marketing info. Definitely not aimed at Spotify, Rdio, Rhapsody users, but Pandora. play.google.com/about/music
— Peter Kafka (@pkafka) May 15, 2013
"Generating data from other data" is fundamental to what Google does.
How a map is made.
Street View cars have driven more than 5 million miles.
The Great Barrier Reef pics are pretty amazing too.
Discussion of how Google's data on Pyongyang has improved… from Eric Schmidt's trip photos? DPRK defectors? Google spysat? #io13
— Rob Pegoraro (@robpegoraro) May 15, 2013
We're getting a Maps/Street View state of the union. All the places Google's gone, mapped, collated, collected, etc.
That data comment was a subtle dig at Apple right?
— Joshua Topolsky (@joshuatopolsky) May 15, 2013
It really is remarkable just how many of Google's services are way ahead of competing offerings.
I can't imagine we won't. Tomorrow is full of Glass sessions and I'll be at most of them.
I really hope we hear about Glass.
So there's 45 minutes left, Maps is up next, then I figure we'll hear something about Glass.
t h e f u t u r e
We're gonna' talk about the future.
Next stop on this I/O train is Google Maps.
"Anyone can easily access all of humanity's information, and get what they need to improve their and their family's life."
"#okgoogle get me drunk." "#okgoogle get me laid." Searches to anticipate. #io13
— Jeff Jarvis (@jeffjarvis) May 15, 2013
I think we may still be a few years away from this.
Remember when Siri came out and people thought Google was toast when it came to natural language queries? Google leapfrogged really quick.
On the one hand, Google seems to be building the Majel Barrett TNG computer. On the other hand, Skynet.
— Daniel Kaszor (@dkaszor) May 15, 2013
This demo is one big show for how much better Google has gotten at understanding natural language queries.
You can compose and send an email straight from the Google Now Search bar now. WHAT. Can also set reminders. #GoogleIO
— Christina Bonnington (@redgirlsays) May 15, 2013
These Voice demos are technically impressive, but they're less interesting when you only ask questions that exist in the Knowledge Graph.
— Will Smith (@willsmith) May 15, 2013
Google is working on building the Star Trek computer, and as of now, I can't think of anyone in tech beating them there.
— NathanOlivarez-Giles (@nateog) May 15, 2013
Googler Joanna Wright is killing it w demo of Hotwire voice search. It's part of longstanding push for omniscient personal search.
— Steven Levy (@StevenLevy) May 15, 2013
I actually can't wait to try this out, as disconcerting as I find it.
(Nothing about Google Glass so far)
— Omar El Akkad (@omarelakkad) May 15, 2013
It seems as though it won't be long before all you need to do to interact with any Google service is say "Okay, Google."
Google is calling the omniscient, always-listening feature of Chrome "hotwording." Invoked by saying "Okay, Google…"
She's demoing it now.
Okay, that seems relatively awesome.
Johanna Wright is up. Product manager of search.
Still waiting on Google Transcribe, like every other journalist on the planet.
Okay, so that means you can also disable it. That's helpful.
Excuse me while I frantically dig into my transcripts.
This is literally the exact same scenario a Google product manager explained to me last summer.
You can enable it, and that seems to be the case.
Hold on, so Google is now ALWAYS listening to us?
Google is bringing the Google Glass paradigm to Chrome on the desktop. Chrome is always listening for "Okay, Google," and then a query.
Google wants to get better at answering contextual questions, like "When is my next fligjt?" or "When will my package arrive?". No keywords.
Two hours into this three-hour keynote. Google has apparently changed its motto from "don't be evil" to "the living will envy the dead."
— Andrew Cunningham (@AndrewWrites) May 15, 2013
New languages for Knowledge Graph today. Hooray.
I've always liked it way better than Siri, quite frankly. It's what Google Now's Cards are based on.
We're talking about Knowledge Graph now. The database of wikipedia-like knowledge that pops up when you ask Google questions.
Oh, Star Trek? What now?
Title card: "The end of search as we know it."
This should be good.
It's time to stop worrying and learn to love the Google, guys.
— Will Smith (@willsmith) May 15, 2013
Yeah man you're WEIRD.
That was quite the pause.
Maybe I'm weird, but I like keeping my photos off the Internet.
BREAKING: Search company Google actually going to talk about the thing it was created to do for once. (Search.)
Google will now auto-gif a bunch of your photos if they've been taken in a burst.
— Omar El Akkad (@omarelakkad) May 15, 2013
Just spoke with the folks at Google Canada. Google Music All Access has no Canadian launch date yet. Stay tuned.
It basically creates brief motion graphics/GIFs out of all those high-speed snaps you take of people.
Oh, okay. Here's a thing called Auto-Awesome.
Google I/O 2014: Google algo automatically determines which are your best Google+ friends and kills the rest.
— Zach Epstein (@zacharye) May 15, 2013
Google can pick the best photos for you
— Vic Gundotra, Google+ senior vice president, engineering
Google's developer stuff in the I/O keynote is embarrassing iTunes Connect and the App Store apps.
— Marco Arment (@marcoarment) May 15, 2013
Just to whine for a minute: I wish Google would go back to digitizing valuable information instead of gussying up my photos.
— Alexis C. Madrigal (@alexismadrigal) May 15, 2013
I aim to please!
I sort of love how @mattbraga is becoming more and more horrified by Google big brother as he live blogs this conference.
— Daniel Kaszor (@dkaszor) May 15, 2013
Say hi to Vic.
More algorithms that make good pictures better.
We're getting a demo of something called Auto Enhance.
Google's "machine learning algorithms" automatically remove blurry photos, duplicates, prioritize people, and "what people find beautiful."
"Google can pick the best photos for you," says Vic Gundotra. Can pare down over 600 pictures to just a few that it thinks are the "best."
Google is using this slide to demonstrate the difference between uploading photos to other services, which downsize images, and uploading 15GB worth of full sized images to Google+.
"Your darkroom is now a datacenter."
We've moved onto photography now. I wonder if this is the big camera news Vic promised a few months back.
Group video at no charge? That's Google extending a nice ol' middle finger to Skype.
— Alex Wilhelm (@alex) May 15, 2013
As rumoured, Google is unifying all of its chat services into Google Hangouts. Android, iOS and web today. Cross-platform messaging for all.
— Matthew Braga (@mattbraga) May 15, 2013
The new Google+ design is rolling out to all users today, by the way.
We're talking about Hangouts now. Which, if you recall, is the chat/video functionality of Google+.
.@vicgundotra: "Why should OSes matter? People matter." Nudging Apple & Facebook with one stone. #io13
— Jeff Jarvis (@jeffjarvis) May 15, 2013
"We don't have time to show you all of the features." Lies.
— Zach Epstein (@zacharye) May 15, 2013
Here's the story about how image recognition technology was used in the development of new Maps for iOS app
More than half of all sharing done on Google+ is done to private circles.
That image recognition technology is something Google has used for other services in the past, including when they redesigned Maps and Street View for iOS.
Google isn't just automating hashtags on textual posts. It's using image recognition to identify things like, say, the Eiffel Tower. Wow.
Boo. San Francisco Giants. (Go Jays Go)
Google is automating hashtags. Will analyze the content of your posts and attach a hashtag it thinks relates best. We are all data now. Bleep bloop.
As others have pointed out online, this new three column view of Google+ looks a lot like Flipboard.
Related hashtags coming today.
"It's not just about design – it's about depth."
I realize there are people out there who really like Google+ (even though I don't know any) but it still hasn't become something I'm thinking about on a daily basis.
The new Google+ is a three-columned design now.
Apparently the problem with today's social streams are they're flat. We can't go deeper into a topic or interest we have.
Those are the three pillars being discussed today.
41 new features in Google+ today. We're about to dive in.
Google shows another video, this time about Google+ and how it is totally relevant and doing just fine.
— Omar El Akkad (@omarelakkad) May 15, 2013
Google+ time. A reminder that Google+ was apparently created to be like connecting with people the way we do in real life.
That Google Play for Education store is coming this fall, by the way.
Chromebooks for education now.
you know a company is out of touch with everyday america when it proposes one of its products as a potential "fourth computer" for your home
— Sam Biddle (@samfbiddle) May 15, 2013
Google Play for Education is an app store for educators and students that's being demoed now.
A new initiative to make it easy and afforadble for schools to put Android tablets into the hands of kids.
Chris Yergo, Android's director of engineering, is back up. Talking about education.
I will grind you into a fine powder.
Google is giving everyone in attendance a free Pixel laptop.
Braga is going to give his to me, because I'm bigger than he is.
And, yes, I'm taking home a Chromebook Pixel today.
Pichai is really carrying this conference today. Just goes to show where the focus is for Google this year.
Google goes Oprah and gives everyone free laptops.
— Omar El Akkad (@omarelakkad) May 15, 2013
I want to eat my croissante :(
Okay, we're approaching the halfway point of this keynote and I'm already out of cookies.
Here's a look at Google's stock price since 2004.
Short film time. How far the web has come.
And across different platforms too.
What's happening here is Google is using a technology called web sockets to sync a game across all of these screens at the same time.
Wow. So this is a pretty neat demo.
Okay, let's see if this game demo fails like the last one.
*nods approvingly*
Hey look we've got nice pictures now!
The #io13 cheering and applause has dried up in the browser session. I guess Chrome development isn't as exciting for audience as Android.
— Stephen Shankland (@stshank) May 15, 2013
For those keeping track, shares of Google are up about 2% today to more than US$900 on the Nasdaq.
However, shares dropped a bit after the first hour of the Google I/O conference. Still up for the day.
Paying for stuff on your phone is a hassle. I get that. Will be interesting to see how having all of your payment information stored with Google changes the process.

Exactly. And three hours is a long time.
We should remember that this is a developer conference after all. It only makes sense that the bulk of the message be directed at developers.
Javascript speed increases are being talked about now. Pretty much any big website you use today (including this one) uses Javascript to run some component.
The developer stuff was definitely a big deal for developers, and will eventually trickle down to users, but it's all just potential for now. Nothing concrete.
Seriously, Sergey Brin better be broadcasting from the moon today.
So, we're now an hour into this live blog. Google Music I think most people would say is the highlight at this point.
Oh hai.
Now demoing a new @chromeexp inspired by @thehobbitmovie – see thehobbit.com/middle-earth #TheHobbit #io13 #keynote
— Google Chrome (@googlechrome) May 15, 2013
While this demo is running, I'm going to reboot real quick and see if I can't get some better quality photos for you guys.
We're seeing some sort of demo that ties in with the Hobbit movie. Which explains the Hobbit booth I spied earlier on.
There will be a lot more to talk about with Chrome OS later this year says Sundar Pichai, who's back on stage now.
People in the audience don't like un-subsidized pricing, especially since they were all thinking "Hrmm, this is my next free phone"
— Will Smith (@willsmith) May 15, 2013
$650 smartphones still seem expensive. Even if they are unlocked.
That appears to include mobile devices too.
750 million active Chrome users.
That's how you standardize Android, you show manufacturers that they need to get out of the way and let Android be Android.
Pretty remarkable that Google gets a big round of applause for the announcement that it is going to sell a Samsung Galaxy S4 without the Samsung software.
Tells you something about how manufacturers are adding software to Android.
Unlocked bootloader too.
Woah. Google is selling a Samsung Galaxy S4 with stock Android 4.2 through the Google Play store. Unlocked. $649.
Uh. Google is demoing stock Android 4.2 on a Galaxy S4.
I'm still not a fan of paying a monthly fee to listen to music, but this might actually be worth it.
Google Play Music All Access will be $9.99 a month, with a 30-day trial. Access to over 2 million songs streaming. $7.99 before June 30.
— Matthew Braga (@mattbraga) May 15, 2013
We've sent a note to Google Canada PR to find out when Google Music All Access is coming to Canada. They haven't got back to us, but it's only been like 30 seconds. We'll let you know if we hear anything.
I'm not so convinced this is going to be as big as Google things. Google Music hasn't quite caught on, and I'm not sure something that just meets, and not beats, Rdio/Spotify/Songza, will do well.
Google announces google play music all access. "A uniquely google approach to a subscription service." twitter.com/RMac18/status/…
— Ryan Mac (@RMac18) May 15, 2013
.@jakejarvis & I agree: Can't believe Google solved the discovery problem for music before apps. Let's hope they learn best practices #io13
— Jeff Jarvis (@jeffjarvis) May 15, 2013
And on the flipside….
Please bring Google Play Music All Access to Canada. Please.
— Daniel Bader (@journeydan) May 15, 2013
Interesting, you pick one song, and then Google Music All Access gives you a whole playlist of songs that are like that.
You can skip ahead, see what's coming up, and you can ditch tracks you don't want in the playlist.
So, if you see something awful in your playlist like Coldplay or Chris Brown, you can just swipe it away.
The Google Play All Access doesn't have anything that doesn't already exist in @rdio and @spotify yet.
— Will Smith (@willsmith) May 15, 2013
"Radio without rules." All Access suggests a queue of recommended music, and you can re-order that queue and remove stuff at will. Okay.
Google launching a Songza-like music service as part of its music store. Neat.
Now, when will it come to Canada?
'google play all access' is a terrible name for anything
— Sam Biddle (@samfbiddle) May 15, 2013
Attendees use camera phones to take pictures at the opening keynote at the Google I/O developers conference at the Moscone Center.
Google Play Music All Access is a "uniquely Google" approach to a subscription music service.
Two years ago Google launched their locker service for storing music, and last year launched the store.
I'm tired of people telling me that music is universal. We get it. People like music.
Chris is talking about music discovery right now, how managing your queue feels like a chore.
Hah. That is, less likely. But who knows.
So here's some Google Music news.
Yes, but the question is, will it scale and be consistent across various versions of Android?
Google is trying to unify the Google Play store experience across web and tablet. Better design. New navigation.
Metallica jokes. Love it.
Gimme Fuel Gimme Fire.
It's likely we'll be hearing a bit about that today too.
Google needs to solve the app discovery problem. #io13

I am a big fan of Google Music.
ooooooh. Google Music.
Chris Yergo, Android's engineering director is up now.
Hugo is feeling pretty API'd out. You and me both, Hugo.

Google is going to let developers run beta tests and plan staged rollouts through the Google Play store now. A very smart move.
All sounds very useful. There really is an arms race going on between the various mobile platforms to see who can deliver developers the best analytics, features and tools.
Oh, this is neat. Beta Testing and Staged Rollouts is now an option for developers.
Ellie is talking about all the various revenue metrics and other statistics you can get as a developer in the new Developer Console dashboard.
Oh yeah. And it's in Google's best interests to get Apps in as many markets as possible.
Ellie Powers, product manager of Google Play, speaks about features for the optimization of apps.
That sounds like a pretty useful service for developers.
A new App Translation service will give developers access to professional language translation services.
if you have a lot of Russians using your app, Google Play will suggest you translate your app into Russian.
More nitty gritty. Talking about optimization of apps being sold in the app store.
Ellie Powers, Product Manager of Google Play is up!
We were just scratching the surface apparently.
Oh, clearly.
And, by "tool" clearly you mean the coding tool he's using to build a piece of software.
Yeah, you make that thing 26.
*does some code thing on-screen* *oooooohs* *aaaaaaahs* Yeah, you go, code-man. You code that thing.
— Matthew Braga (@mattbraga) May 15, 2013
Just a bunch of developers cheering on a tool.
Someone needs to jump put of a plane. Soon.
My eye just glazed over.
Okay. We're going deep into code-speak now. Android Studio is a Java-based coding environment based on something called intelliJ.
A new Android tool called Android Studio is up now.
Onward and upward!
Nothing quite like a tech demo that falls apart at a tech conference.
This cross-device multiplayer demo of a Google Play game services is not going well. At all. We're moving on.
— Matthew Braga (@mattbraga) May 15, 2013
Oh yeah. This is a thing that Apple has had for a while now on iOS.
Interesting to see all this focus on games.
Many of these are things that Xbox Live has had for many years.
So far at #GoogleIO, a bunch of news that makes software developers cheer … Which means it leaves everyone else scratching their heads
— Claire Cain Miller (@clairecm) May 15, 2013
We're seeing a preview of a game called RipTide 2. Typical demo time.
Google Play game services sounds like an interesting idea. I wonder how this would work with things like the Razer tablet and other Android-based gaming devices.
Wow. Google Play game services is coming to iOS and web-based games too. Google is taking it straight to Apple's Game Centre.
Google Play game services will offer cloud storage of saved games, achievements and leader boards. The latter use Google+ Circles.
A new family of APIs for Android Game developers is being announced today. Called. Google Play game services.
Okay. Gaming time.
Notifications will soon sync between Android devices. So when you view a notification on your tablet, disappears on your phone. The future!
Developers can now use GCM to send push notifications in the other direction. Back to developers.
A persistent connection is now possible, so you can send "a large number of messages very very quickly."
GCM is part of Google Play Services now. And there'll be three new features today.
Now talking about Google Cloud Messaging. This is Android's push messaging service (for all those fun notifications that pop up on your Android phone).
This has been possible for a while, obviously, but Google is providing an API for it now, which will make development easier. Apple introduced a similar feature with iOS 6 last year too.
Geofencing is also coming to Android. This lets apps trigger certain functions based on your location. (Say, automatically send a text message to my partner when I leave work, letting him or her know I'm on my way home – all based on my location.)
Another new API called Activity Recognition will enable developers to detect whether a user is biking, driving, walking without GPS.
Three months after Apple removed the popular Google Maps from its operating system to replace it with its own mapping software, a Google Maps app was been added to the iTunes store. It's just one of many Google apps – such as Chrome for iPad and iPhone, which was announced at last year's I/O.
Android is getting a new, low-power location-tracking mode that uses less than 1% of battery power per hour.
Hugo is talking about Google Play Services and the APIs available to developers. Basically, this is how Google makes things such as Maps and location available for developers to use in their apps.

BlackBerry unveiled the Q5 yesterday to target emerging markets. It's now clear that Android is going after those same markets.
In BlackBerry's growing users bases around the world, it would appear that Android will be the biggest threat going forward.
More revenue has been paid out to developers this year than all of last year. That's only five months into the year.
Two and a half billion app installs this last month on Google Play. 48 billion to date.
Pichai puts up a graphic that shows where the penetration of Android is less than 10%.
It's basically the whole world except for North America, Europe and Australia.
Hugo Barra, VP of product management, Android, is up now.
Nearly one billion Android device activations … wow.
Android growth:
2011 – 100 million activations
2012 – 400 million activations
2013 – 900 million activations
900 million Android activations.
We're getting an Android state of the union now, I take it. An update on activations and such.
Announcement that Chrome is world's most popular browser reminds me of how gov't was SO worried about Microsoft dominating browser world
— Larry Magid (@larrymagid) May 15, 2013
Chrome is the most popular browser in the world. Really? I'm not necessarily questioning that (as I'm a loyal user) but I'm wondering what metric Google is using for that.
And Chrome is the most popular browser.
Android is the most popular mobile operating system in the world.
Android and Chrome are the two pillars Pichai is talking about.
The Twitter jokes in hour-three of the Google I/O keynote are going to be absolutely unbearable.
— Zach Epstein (@zacharye) May 15, 2013
We have lots of computing power now in myriad little devices that are packed with all sorts of sensors.
Pichai is the SVP of Chrome and Apps for Google, and earlier this year, he took over Android earlier this year when Andy Rubin stepped down.
Pichai is talking about how most of us have been using Windows for the majority of the life of the PC.
"Most of you in this audience have lived through the PC revolution."
If you would like to follow along with the live feed for Google, check it out here: https://developers.google.com/events/io/
Sundar Pichai, Google's new head of Android, is up now.
Vic Gundotra is the senior vice president of engineering for Google.
This is the sixth annual Google I/O conference.
More than a million people are watching on YouTube today.
Six thousand in attendance. 40,000 in viewing parties across 90 countries world wide.
Vic Gundotra's up now.
For those following along, Mr. Braga is a few seconds ahead of the rest of us watching the conference via the "live" video feed.
This seems to be some sort of "Lets Change The World With Code" promotional video.
This seems to be some sort of "Lets Change The World With Code" promotional video.
Opening video highlighting Chrome so far. Web technologies.
Here we go.
Thirty seconds on the countdown clock.
Random bouts of cheering set to the Tron soundtrack. Okay.
Alright, prediction time. What's the one thing you expect to see today Mr. Braga?
I can totally see that.
I will say, it's totally disconcerting to see someone whisper quietly to no one when triggering voice commands for Glass.
I'm not afraid to say it, Google Glass still creeps me out a bit. Maybe a lot.
Well, let's hope Google kicks their conference off on time today, unlike other companies holding conferences this week.
*cough* BlackBerry *cough*
Let's see if I can get a Vine in here.
Let's hope not. It's for the good of the people.

So, presumably there's a video of you on YouTube somewhere giving a dude the stinkeye while riding an escalator?
Five minutes to go, by the way.
When I went up the escalator this morning it was the creepiest thing, because this guy wearing Glass was standing at the top, and I had to stare at him the whoooooooooole way up.
Tons. I mean, I shouldn't be surprised, but it's still a surreal experience.
I've got my laptop and my iPhone and a Nexus 4. And I'm trying to see if I can get my DSLR all wired up to our liveblog here.
How many people have you seen walking around with Glass while you've been down at I/O?
Alas, no Glass.
Exactly how many devices do you have with you?
And are any of them Google Glass?
We have a pretty good setup here. I'm broadcasting a wireless network from my laptop (which is hard plugged) to all my wireless devices. So this *should* go smoothly.
And lo, I am seated. twitter.com/mattbraga/stat…

Google to launch subscription music service at I/O?
Google seen poised to launch subscription-based music-streaming service to take on Spotify
Google Inc., developer of the Android mobile-phone platform, plans to start a subscription music- streaming service as soon as this week that would compete with Spotify Ltd., people with knowledge of the matter said.
Universal Music Group Inc., Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group Corp. have reached agreements to license songs, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the agreement is private. Google will announce the service as soon as today to coincide with a conference for developers in San Francisco, the people said.

And now it looks like we're moving out of the press holding tank. Be back soon!
When Larry Page took over as CEO of Google he made good design a priority at Google, which isn't something they were known for in the past.
Otherwise, more rumours indicate that some of Google's online services and products may be getting a design overhaul (GMail, Maps, in particular I've seen mentioned), which would mesh with a design roundtable I've apparently been booked for sometime this week.
We're not exactly sure whether Google will unwrap Android 5.0 (known as Key Lime Pie), or tease another update to Jelly Bean, Android 4.3.
I wrote a preview post that went up yesterday that's well worth a read, but if you're looking for the short version: There's a good chance we'll see an updated version of Google's Nexus tablet, which was unveiled last year, alongside the next version of Android as well.
So, we're just over an hour away from the keynote.
Hey, that rhymed!
I took a poll of the press room, however, and I'm apparently the most handsome of the three, so make sure you stick around here with me.
I'm currently with pals Andrew Cunningham and Sean Gallagher, both of Ars Technica, who will be joining me on Twitter throughout the day.
They ushered us past a bunch of demo booths on the way to our bright, sunny press room (the press dungeon comes later, I'm sure). Nothing much to report so far, but it looks like they'll have some dedicated stations of trying/experiencing Google Glass.
I'm in the Moscone Centre, which is where Apple also holds its annual World Wide Developer Conference.
We're going to have some fun here today, folks. In case you didn't notice the headline or other pieces of copy scattered around this page, Google I/O is happening today.
It is me, your live blog host, Matthew Braga.
An analysis on Google Now vs. Apple's Siri:
Google Now for iPhone the latest salvo for mobile supremacy against Apple
It's still no Android, but Apple Inc.'s iPhone is sure beginning to act like one.
In what is the latest salvo in a trillion-dollar battle for mobile supremacy, Google Inc. is bringing a core part of its Android operating system – a feature called Google Now – to Apple's iOS ecosystem.
The Mountain View, Calif.-based search giant is using its biggest consumer electronics competitor – and, perhaps, the highest stakes rivalry in the world of business – as a gateway, to its own devices, apps and services.

FP Tech Desk's Matthew Braga on what to expect from Google I/O:
Android, Glass, Chat and more: What to expect from Google's I/O keynote on Wednesday
With last year's I/O serving as our guide, what can we expect from this year's keynote event?
1. The general consensus is that we'll see at least some new version of Google's mobile Android operating system during the event, but the question is, which one?
2. Apple has had considerable success with its online gaming service Game Center, allowing developers to easily include support for leader boards, badges, and multiplayer play within their apps. Now, Google looks to be doing the same. Android Police has found evidence of something called Google Play Services, which appears to be an Android Game Center equivalent.

"And he said unto them,'With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.' And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said,'Take this, and divide it among yourselves: For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.' And he took bread, and gave thanks, and broke it, and gave unto them, saying,'This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!'" Luke 22:15-22
"For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said,'Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.' After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying,'This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's death till he come.' Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 1 Corinthians 11:23-27
We have a description of practice from the early church apostles. If the Eucharist is a rite per the Roman Catholic Church, shouldn't the RCC Eucharist and its rites be in perfect keeping with the early church accounts of their practices of it?
Is the bread Jesus gives the disciples to eat broken?- "this is my body, which is broken for you".
Does He mean His literal body is broken? Yes, Jesus body would be broken and therefore the bread is broken in accord with the events of His death.
Does He mean the disciples are eating His literal body? No, it doesnt.
One other question. In Lukes recording, had Jesus died yet? No! So, He was speaking in symbolism that they might understand the mystery of God. Jesus said,This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you yet, it was still an event yet to occur. Obviously, the cup/fruit of the vine and bread represent" something NOT actually become His literal Body/blood.
#2 May 21, 2013
Yes, symbolism-I completely agree. Why can't you view water baptism with the same view?
#3 May 21, 2013
There is much symbolism in baptism Bobby. I'm sure Randy understands that and agrees with you on it. I do. He and I still both feel it is a necessary part of becoming a Christian-and in ways, you do as well, for you believe it is something that every professing believer should do.
I think perhaps now the biggest difference between Bobby and Dave P/Randy is that the two of us believe that Peter gave two commands and two promises on Pentecost- repent and be baptized; we will receive forgiveness of sins and the gift of the Spirit. I think he and I both believe that what you call "Spirit baptism" occurs at that point, and I think we both believe that perfect knowledge isn't required either.
Randy-again if I am wrong, please correct me. I know we share many similar views.
I personally can say this-I believe God keeps His promises, and if someone does as He says, God will do His work in us. Perfect knowledge is not required.
Randy, excellent post on the Lords Supper. Agree completely. I have one prayer for you-that whatever is keeping you from being baptized, God will work it out and make the way for you.
Just imagine-a day when Dave, Bobby, Randy, Barnsweb, Mike P,JC, Heath, Johnny, WIL-we can all sit and talk in the Master's presence about how much we didn't truly know, but loved every minute of it. And many others who post here, and all our brothers and sisters. Oh what a glorious day!

I do see Baptism symbolically- a symbolic act required just as repentance is required. Baptism has no magic ability to cleanse one from sin nor do we contact blood in baptism yet it is commanded UNTO/INTO/TOWARDS/FOR remission of sins just as repentance is UNTO/INTO/TOWARDS/FOR remission of sins. Peter ties them [repent and be baptized] together UNTO/INTO/TOWARDS/FOR remission of sins- Act 2:38.

"Peter ties them [repent and be baptized] together UNTO/INTO/TOWARDS/FOR remission of sins- Act 2:38."
Peter also then tells these men of Israel when their sins would be taken away, and it's not at the point where they got baptized either.
Acts 3:19-21 (KJV)
19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, WHEN the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
But churches (pick a name, any name) everywhere today will tell you that when you get in the water, your sins are forgiven. You have "sealed the deal" as I once heard a Pentecostal preacher loudly proclaim. You can even get any number of "bibles" today that have the text of Acts 2:38 changed from "remission of sis" to "forgiveness of sins".
They are most assuredly not the same thing.
#7 May 21, 2013
"remission of SINS", not sis.
#8 May 21, 2013
So, now we are back to unity in diversity:-) Heck, I am having trouble accepting Mike as a brother. Not sure how how far we can take this "unity in diversity" thing but Mike does declare that Jesus is Lord same as Peter did.
#9 May 21, 2013
In our discussion of communion I asked "Why can't you view water baptism with the same view?"
Where I was going with this is that we agree that communion does not change the elements into the literal body and blood of Christ but catholics do.*Transubstantiation*
However when the coc come to water baptism which is another symbolic event, the coc now believes with the catholics at least in part that it becomes efficacious. That word can be translated to mean "treatments for the disease"-in this case treatment for the disease of sin.
What do you think?

John 3:16 is a good verse too. However, it speaks nothing of repentance. My point: consider every verse as a whole. If Peter taught one things in Acts 2:38, he surely did elsewhere. Again, lets not use one verse only- lets use them all as a whole. Lets put Acts 3:19 with Acts 2:38....even John 3:16. They all are true and parts of the whole.

The Jews knew that He was speaking literally. Jn 6:52 "How can this man give us his Flesh to eat?" On other occasions when our Lord spoke of Himself as a Jn 10:9 "door" or a Jn 15:1 "vine," nobody said, "How can this man be made of wood?" or "How can this man be a plant?" They recognized these as metaphors. But when Jesus insisted, Jn 6:53 "Unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of man and drink His Blood, you have no life in you; he who eats My Flesh and drinks My Blood has eternal life." The Jews who heard this said, Jn 6:60 "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?" They remembered God's command to Noah and all mankind, Gn 9:4 "Only you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood." God spoke more forcefully to His chosen people. Lv 17:10 "I will set my face against that person who eats blood, and will cut him off from among his people." It was only after Christ's redemptive sacrifice and the Holy Spirit's enlightenment that the Apostles saw the full meaning of our Father's next words. Lv 17:11 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it for you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement, by reason of the life." In the Old Covenant our Father in heaven had commanded His children not to eat the blood of animals because we are not to participate in the life of animals. Animals, having no immortal souls, are lower than man in the order of created nature. However, in the New and Everlasting Covenant we consume the Blood of Christ to participate in Christ's eternal life.
The three Gospel narratives of the Last Supper are absolutely consistent. Matthew: 26:26 "This is My Body." 26:27 "This is My Blood " Mark: 14:22 "This is My Body." 14:24 "This is My Blood " Luke: 22:19 "This is My Body." 22:20 "This is the New Covenant in My Blood." Jesus' next words instituted the Catholic priesthood: Lk 22:19 "Do this in remembrance of Me."
Pay close attention to the last sentences of this paragraph
Jesus is spiritually present in the wine. When the afikomen is broken and passed around for all to eat, Jews drink the third of four cups of wine, called the cup of blessing because it represents the blood of the sacrificed paschal lamb. It is the cup that Jesus gave to His apostles, saying, Lk 22:20 "This cup which is poured out for you is the New Covenant in My Blood." He did not drink the fourth, the Kalah cup, explaining, Mt 26:29 "I tell you I shall not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom." But later that evening at Gethsemane, Jesus prayed by moonlight, Mt 26:39 "Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me." After He was captured, Jesus asked Peter, Jn 18:11 "Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?" Many Catholics believe that Jesus drank the last cup on the Cross, Jn 19:29 "They put a sponge full of the vinegar on hyssop and held it to His mouth. When Jesus had received the vinegar, He said,'It is finished'; and He bowed His head and gave up His spirit."

I dont know any coc preacher who teaches that baptism is efficacious. However, its taken that way by people who believe baptism is mere symbolism. When the Leper dipped 7 times for healing, was it efficacious? His dipping 7 times did cause or make him clean- God was at work.

We should never use just one verse, but many hang their hat on verses with the word baptism in it and call it a day.
But Acts 3:19-21 explains Acts 2:38-39, as far as when those Jews at Pentecost would have their sins taken away. And it wasn't when they came up out of the water, as churches today teach about "obeying" Acts 2:38.
#15 May 21, 2013
As I said earlier, Peter gave two commands and two promises. We do what has been commanded, God does what He has promised to do. Both the Lords Supper and baptism, having symbolism, still have real effects and benefits for the Christian. There are more than symbolic benefits to both. Would you agree?
#16 May 21, 2013
Agree. Better explanation than mine.

Maybe Acts 2:38-39 explains Acts 3:19-21 :-)
Why not view them as part of the whole?
#18 May 21, 2013
I've been there for a little while now. Feels pretty good to be honest. Mike declares Jesus as Lord. Perhaps he's repented and been baptized too. He definitely holds doctrine I absolutely disagree with, and you won't catch me in a catholic church anytime soon.
Not sure how far we can take this unity in diversity thing? Bobby you're evangelical-you guys should be the experts at it. That is one of the things that still makes me wonder, how can so many be in fellowship with many differing ideas.
Besides, maybe we forget. Mike is in Mississippi, Bobby is in Texas, Randy is in Virginia, Dave is in Kentucky, etc. We aren't "having fellowship"- if we do have fellowship, it's because we are in Christ.
#19 May 21, 2013
Where in the Bible does it say the Eucharist is a Symbol?
#20 May 21, 2013
How does Acts 2:38-39 "explain" what Peter said in Acts 3:19-21?
Their sins will not be taken away until the second coming of Christ. That's the explanation.

A research team at Columbia University has designed a novel viral-based gene therapy they say blasts through a body, targeting both primary and distant tumors, while leaving normal cells untouched. In the 15 mice they tested, injections of the therapy in tumors on one side of the mouse eliminated those cancers as well as tumors on the other side of the animal's body, producing a cure in all of the mice.
This study tested this "dual cancer-specific targeting strategy" with aggressive therapy resistant prostate cancer. The researchers have also shown it works in animals with breast, and melanoma tumors.
An earlier version of the therapy showed powerful effects in a phase I clinical trial, said Paul B. Fisher, M.Ph., Ph.D., professor clinical pathology at Columbia. This improved treatment appears to be a much "smarter bomb with potential of treating metastatic and therapy-resistant cancers," he said.
"The beauty of this approach is that two methods are being used to destroy a tumor," said Devanand Sarkar, M.B.B.S, Ph.D., the study's primary author, associate research scientist at Columbia. "The virus we designed replicates within a tumor, and at the same time produces a massive amount of a cancer killing compound. Either action alone is damaging and potentially deadly, but together they are lethal."
Columbia researchers built the therapy around their earlier, pivotal discovery of a cytokine (a signaling protein) called melanoma differentiation associated gene-7/interleukin-24 (mda-7/IL-24). A technology developed in the Fisher laboratory, "subtraction hybridization," applied to human melanoma, induced the cancer to revert to a more normal state, allowing comparison of genes expressed in both states. They discovered mda-7/IL-24 was progressively down-regulated as melanoma developed. In its normal state, the cytokine may affect growth and immune regulation, whereas expression at high levels kills cancer cells.
The investigators altered an adenovirus to carry the mda-7/IL-24 into tumors that normally did not express the gene, and based on successful animal studies, this cytokine was tested for safety in patients with advanced melanoma and other solid cancers. "Interestingly, this phase I clinical trial produced a significant clinical response," Fisher said.
To make the treatment more potent, they then paired the mda-7/IL-24 gene with a "replication competent" adenovirus, a virus that can multiply within cells. After such a microbe enters a cell, it can reproduce and cause the cell to burst, releasing more viral particles. During replication, the mda/IL-24 gene is also reproduced and then expressed, delivering huge quantities of active mda/IL-24 locally and systemically.
Finally, the researchers worked out a strategy to ensure that the loaded virus would only replicate within cancer cells. They manipulated the viral genome again, and substituted its normal promoter (E1A) with a promoter (PEG-3) that they discovered could only be activated by transcription factors found in cancer cells. That means that if the virus may enter a normal cell, it won't replicate and the cell will not die, the researchers say. It also suggests that the therapy will work in a variety of cancers "because virtually all cancers we have tested contain the necessary transcription factors that activate the PEG-3 promoter," Fisher said.
When the viral gene therapy was injected into tumors growing in the mice, the virus replicated and produced mda-7/IL-24, which then killed the tumors, releasing millions of newly produced, loaded viral particles throughout the blood circulation to settle into distant tumors where the process was repeated. It also worked on prostate cancer resistant to other therapy because the two-pronged attack "overwhelmed their defense mechanisms," Sarker said.
Although Sarkar and Fisher say the results are exciting, they stress that additional research is needed prior to testing the therapy in humans, including experiment in mice with an intact immune system. While a primary immune system response against the virus may eliminate some of the loaded particles, the researchers say that the mda-7/IL-24 will likely heighten a secondary therapeutic immune response, offering a much stronger cancer-killing potential.

Aussie May Halt Decline on Fibonacci Support: Technical AnalysisCandice Zachariahs
The Australian dollar may halt a recent drop versus the U.S. currency after finding so-called support toward $1.0225, JPMorgan Chase and Co. said citing trading patterns.
The area from $1.0255 to $1.0225 contains the 38.2 percent Fibonacci retracement of the currency's advance from last year's low of 95.82 U.S. cents to $1.0625 on Sept. 14. It also includes the 76.4 percent retracement from the October low of $1.0149, Niall O'Connor, a technical analyst at JPMorgan, wrote today in a note to clients.
"We continue to see risk of a short-term reprieve to the recent weakness," he wrote. "We continue to see key resistance at $1.0370/$1.0460 levels with upside breaks confirming a deeper retracement." Resistance refers to an area on a chart where orders to sell may be clustered.
The Australian dollar traded at $1.0269 as of 1:23 p.m. in Sydney after yesterday dropping 0.6 percent to $1.0256. It earlier touched $1.0249, the lease since Oct. 23, and has weakened 1.5 percent this month.
In technical analysis, investors and analysts study charts of trading patterns and prices to forecast changes in a security, commodity, currency or index.
Fibonacci analysis, based on the work of 13th century mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci, is founded on the theory that prices rise or fall by certain percentages after reaching a new high or low.

Follow up with Gena® Pedi Cure Foot Treatment Crème to moisturize newly smooth feet.
Availability: Out of stock
From sky-high stilettos to flats with zero arch support, most of our favorite shoes are recipes for gnarly-looking feet. Short of wearing sneakers everywhere, we need a way to keep our soles in tip-top shape (especially because we also have a passion for thong sandals). Enter Gena® Pedi Pro File. Developed for use in professional nail salons, this double-sided tool takes a gentle-but-firm approach to removing stubborn callouses and dry, dead skin.
Soak your feet in warm water to soften skin first. Once feet are dry, gently work the file across rough patches on your heels and soles. Follow with moisturizer.
Nothing too stellar to report here. The file seemed to do its job, but the results weren't incredible. Got some dead skin off, but didn't slough away everything. Granted, I do have rougher feet that aren't pedicure ready year-round.
Product does what you would expect it to do BUT From the picture I had expected two files. Instead I just received one (smaller not foot shaped one) :(
Buff, polish, repeat. I use these in the shower to keep my feet soft even during harsh winter months of boots and wool socks.
Makes my feet so smooth! A do it yourself pedi at home! I'm so glad I ordered this, it works very well.
I had some points to use and I have been needing a pedi file and this works great! Works better than most store bought files!

Even without Green, Tom Izzo likes MSU's chances
Tom Izzo lost his all-everything player, Draymond Green, from a year ago. Sparty still has talent -- with guys like Keith Appling, highly touted freshman Gary Harris and Branden Dawson. But it's a fairly unknown freshman that has Izzo raving right now.
Tom Izzo is usually fairly realistic. Michigan State's head coach doesn't mince words -- and if he doesn't like his team or has questions, he'll have no qualms talking about them. Izzo is optimistic about this year's team -- even after losing one the nation's most productive all-around player in Draymond Green (16.2 ppg, 10.6 rpg, 3.8 apg).
He's got junior Keith Appling back in the fold with a year under his belt at the point, welcomes in one of the top freshmen in the country in wing Gary Harris and could field a frontline of Branden Dawson, Adreian Payne and Derrick Nix.
But the guy he's raving about right now is unheralded freshman Denzel Valentine.
"He's 6-foot-6, handles it, shoots it, can rebound and do just about everything," Izzo said. "His biggest asset is he understands the game."
Sounds a little like Green.
"He's more of a guard than Draymond," Izzo said.
Izzo has flexibility with his lineup, but it sure looks as though he will trot out a starting lineup of Appling, Harris, Dawson, Payne and Nix. All of which were considered Top 50 players coming out of high school except for Nix, a senior who has developed into a solid post player.
Payne, who Izzo said has gained 15 pounds, could be the key.
"He's had a heck of a summer so far," Izzo said. "He hasn't been good; he's been great."
Payne has phenomenal physical tools, with the size, athleticism and skill level at his size (6-10, 250) to be a nightmare for opposing power forwards. His biggest issue has been the mental aspect of the game, but with the departure of Green, the Spartans need the light to come on and for him to start to realize the potential that so many have talked about since high school.
Izzo said that Dawson is progressing well from the knee injury suffered the final game of the regular season. Dawson is running and is hopeful of being cleared for contact in the next month or so.
Michigan State will also have depth with guys like Russell Byrd, Travis Trice, Valentine and freshman big man Matt Costello all likely coming off the bench.
But the concern is who fills the leadership void left by Green's departure to the NBA.
"That's the question," Izzo admitted. "I think we have more talent and are deeper, but leadership is hands-down our biggest issue going into the season."

Beautiful Bond
15 year old Drew and Sammy share a moment together.
15 year old Drew and Sammy share a moment together.
This is a picture of Drew on his 13th birthday. After being diagnosed with renal disease in August and spending 2 1/2 months very sick, I thought he would never reach his 13 birthday. But he did and I'm thankful every day to be blessed with such a wonderful Sheltie.
What a happy day Marge!
Drew looks positively beautiful in the leaves.
Lovely Marge!
Drew shows us the fine art of Sheltie Snow Angel making…That is a happy boy, Marge!
Apparently, Drew's mom is a big Penn State fan. Since she can't have the official mascot as a pet (its a mountain lion) a Sheltie will have to carry the colors.Where did you get that collar Marge? My boys are UCONN fans! (I love Shelties too much to have gotten a Husky!)Halloween is just around the corner folks…send in those Sheltie costume photos!

As authorities close in on the probe into the operations of National Spot Exchange Ltd (NSEL), fresh facts have emerged involving Anjani Sinha, who was removed as CEO of the beleaguered bourse that has defaulted on payments to clients and are facing a multi-agency investigation for flouting regulatory rules.
Officials are now going through the details of Sinha's alleged past involvement in share manipulation and badla trading in erstwhile regional bourses such as the Ahmedabad Stock Exchange (ASE) and the Magadh Stock Exchange (MSE).
Sinha did not respond to emails and text messages sent by HT.
In 2003, the Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) had removed Sinha as the executive director the ASE for being unable to stop illegitimate trading activities in the stock exchange.
SEBI had also probed charges against Sinha for misleading the regulator by stating that no illegal activities had taken place in ASE.
The regulator had raised specific questions on Sinha's inability to prevent illegal badla trading within the stock exchange premises.
Badla trading is the process of buying stocks with borrowed money where instead of paying cash, the buyer can ask the broker to find a borrower to finance the transaction. The trade was banned in 2001.
In 2003, Sinha and members of the board of the ASE faced a probe for informing the regulator that no badla trading was taking place in stock exchange, where facts were to the contrary.
Authorities are also examining Sinha's tenure as the chief general manager of MSE during which a controversy regarding huge amounts of stolen share physical shares had broken out between 1991 and 1994, resulting in a major payments crisis at MSE.
The Forwards Markets Commission (FMC) in a communication to NSEL on August 20, the day Sinha was removed as CEO, clearly stated that "Your status as a 'fit and proper' person is at serious risk and may lead to consequential actions."
