According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, quoted on The Guardian, mobile music downloads are soon expected to surpass Internet downloads. 3G technology (pricing permitting) will boost the market which is expected to boom in the UK during the Christmas season.

Perfect, no. When it gets so bad you have to read it slow or sound it out in your head you have to draw a line somewhere. Some of the posts on the other board made me feel like my eyes were going to bleed.
If someone writes so bad you have to sound it out or read it multiple times I just assume they don't have anything worth reading anyway.

10 great apps that are optimized for the iPhone 6 Retina HD display
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Games, News, Productivity, Social Networking, App Updates
Apple is renowned for paying extreme attention to user experience, so when their new lines of phones featuring bigger screens came out in September, it was just a matter of time before apps started being optimized to take advantage of this change. The difference in resolution is quite notable, the iPhone 6 coming with a resolution of 750 by 1334 pixels and a 4.7 inches screen, and the iPhone 6 Plus boasting a resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels and a 5.5 inches screen, whereas the previous generation of iPhones (iPhone 5, 5C and 5S) came with a 4 inch display with a resolution of 640 by 1336 pixels. There are several apps that are already on the bandwagon with the new resolutions – here are the top 10 picks.

Facebook Paper brings elegance to your timeline
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Internet, Software
Facebook has released its new Facebook Paper app, a free version of Facebook that introduces new ways of interacting with the social network. Similar to the popular Flipbook app, Facebook Paper is centered around eye-catching, full-screen images, and gesture-based navigation, bringing the topics and people you care about most to the forefront.
A product of Facebook Creative Labs, Paper looks great, and could likely replace the default Facebook app for most users, what with its magazine-style layout. To get users acquainted, Facebook Paper launches with a gesture tutorial, helping you become familiar with the new way of interacting with Facebook. It's a bold move, but it works. Facebook needs to constantly monitor the pain points that its users experience when using the service, especially on mobile. Paper solves a lot of those issues that the common Facebook user encounters in the more bloated full app, bringing a simple elegance and sense of ease with it.
Give it a shot, and let us know what you think in the comments. You can grab Paper now, for free.
The Problem with Facebook [Video]
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Revenue, Social Media, Social Networks
The problem is the only way Facebook has found to make money is by treating all entities on the site as advertisers and charging them to share their content.
This business plan backfires because 1) not all entities ARE advertisers and 2) it was the content from these people, specifically friends, family, and creators that made the site worth visiting in the first place.
Now the incentives are misaligned:
- Individuals want to see great content, but they are now seeing more paid content and organically shared content which appeals to the lowest common denominator (babies, weddings, and banal memes)
- Creators want to reach fans but their posts are being throttled to force them to pay to be seen
- Brands and advertisers have to pay once to advertise their page on Facebook, and then pay again to reach the people who have already liked their page. Plus Facebook is not a place where people generally go to buy things.
Facebook stands in contrast to other social media like Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram where all content is shared with all followers.
Unboxing Live 119: HTC First & Facebook Home
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, Videocasts
In this episode we open up the HTC First smartphone, the first phone to ship with Facebook Home as the default launcher. Facebook Home turns your phone into a device that is hyper connected to Facebook, including lock screen slideshows of recent updates from your friends, and direct access to Facebook and Facebook Messenger from the lock screen as well. The HTC First reminds us of a flatter iPhone 3GS, or to be more current, looks a lot like the leaks of the upcoming budget-friendly iPhone. It originally debuted at $99 with 2-year contract, but now sells for $0.99 instead after lukewarm reception.

A behind-the-scenes look at the creation of Facebook Home [Video]
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Cell Phones, Google, Software, Videos
Take a gander behind the curtain of how Facebook designers created the Facebook Home launcher for Android. The forty-five minute video essay shows the evolutionary process of cover feed, chat heads, and the premise of mimicking the real world experience with a software operating system not based on apps, but focused rather on people.
On May 8th, the designers behind Facebook Home (Justin Stahl, Francis Luu, Joey Flynn and Mac Tyler) presented a behind-the-scenes look at their work at the Bluxome Street Winery for a small crowd. In this four-part talk, they discuss how they combined their high-level goals with an iterative process and interactive design tools such as Quartz Composer to bring the first version of Home to launch.

Apple, Microsoft, Google & others petition US government for transparency in data requests
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Google, Microsoft
Several big named tech giants like Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft are publicly requesting that the National Security Agency (NSA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) allow them to transparently publish more information regarding the controversial data mining operations and surveillance programs held by US government agencies.
Dubbed SpyGate, the legitimate controversy has made headlines over legislation of section 215 of the Patriot Act and section 702 of the FISA amendment ACT. Not to mention the whistleblower saga that has ensued after former NSA employee and current on the run globetrotter, Eric Snowden, leaked details about the covert operation infamously known as Prism. Many of the allegations summarized in the massive leak state that the US government has backdoor access to the servers of many leading private industry companies and direct access to major US telecommunication carriers. With such access, the government collects and monitors millions of American's information not limited to just metadata. Many private companies have signed a petition of transparency that includes Apple, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, Skype and many others. Below is the petition letter in its entirety.

Facebook 6.0 for iOS adds chat heads, stickers, and iPad News Feed redesign
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Social Networking, App Updates, Free Apps
Facebook has updated its iOS app to version 6.0 and has introduced two new features that are from the Facebook Home experience: Chat heads and stickers. Basically, chat heads are avatar icons of Facebook friends. They take up a small part of the screen whenever a user is messaging another Facebook friend, no matter where the user happens to be in the app. We assume that the goal is for it to be a frictionless experience when communicating with others friends; rather than having the chat feature limited to silos or in sections within the app. Along with the update, Facebook added a sticker feature, like emoticons, while messaging, seemingly aimed at teens and adults who might never publicly admit that they like the feature. Facebook for the iPad also sees a News Feed redesign that is cleaner with a bolder, more legible typeface. Gear Live tip: users might have to delete the old version first, or reboot the iDevice, in order to activate these new features now since Facebook is slowly rolling the feature out to users. Facebook 6.0 for iOS is now available in the App Store.

Why Google will stop developing Android
Posted by Jason Diaz Categories: Cell Phones, Editorial, Features, Google, Software
"It's important that Apple not be the developer for the world. We can't take all of our energy, and all of our care, and finish the painting and have someone else put their name on it." - Tim Cook, Apple CEO
The same statement rings true for Google. If others are reaping the rewards, and little to nothing is left for oneself, then what's the point? If a product does not meet the expectations set before it, then developing for it doesn't make much sense. If any given product is not self-sustainable, then it is not cost effective and eventually becomes a burden to the maker--even if users appear to enjoy using it. Make no mistake about it, Google is in the business of making money, and everything else is secondary (including good will.)
Google's co-founder and now recently-minted CEO, Larry Page, bought Android in 2005. He also brought along Andy Rubin, one of its creators, over to Google, who recently renounced his post as Senior Vice President of mobile Digital Content. Basically, the guy who was leading Android. It has been said that Sergey Brin, the other tandem co-founder, was not enthusiastic about the purchase. Former Google CEO at the time, Eric Schmidt, now Chairman at Google had a similar reaction. These somewhat pessimistic receptions were also shared by Vic Gundotra, Senior Vice President of Engineering. However, he recanted these thoughts at Google I/O 2010.

This Hammerhead Telegraph I have just purchased in Queensland Australia- It has similarities of a Siemens Telegraph but does not have their markings on it - It does seem to have its origin from Norway due to the wording on the brass tag that is on the telegraph.
Telegraph is approx 4ft 6 inches high to top of control handle - it is 17 inches across the flat section and weighs approx 60 kg.
I do believe that it could have come from a large warship or large passenger ship and could very well be of 1940 to 1950 vintage.
I would like more information if I could please

While49er fans everywhere are gearing up for Sunday's NFC championship game with the Seattle Seahawks, UC Davis forensic entomologist Robert Kimsey and his UC Davis Entomology Club are heading for Alcatraz for "rat patrol."
And "millipede patrol." And "powderpost beetle patrol."
Kimsey, whose fly research on the island led to his nickname, "The Fly Man of Alcatraz," will be leading 18 club members Saturday on an overnight insect/arthropod collecting tour, deploying insect light traps. They also will be surveying the rat population that threatens the bird sanctuaries on the island.
The project encompasses all of Saturday and part of Sunday. "Some in our group want to get back early so as not to miss the game," said Kimsey, a faculty member of the UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology and the club's adviser.
Kimsey knows that the Seattle team's bird moniker is "Seahawks," but he's more interested in other birds--the birds in the island's rookeries and the "The Bird Man of Alcatraz" (Robert Stroud)-- than in who's throwing the pigskin.
"I'm not a football fan," Kimsey acknowledged.
A UC Davis "rat patrol" in February of 2012 led to the discovery of a fluorescent millipede, a common arthropod but previously unknown to exist on the island. After National Park Service employees fed rats a bait laced with fluorescent, non-toxic dye, Kimsey and the club members began searching for fluorescent rat feces.
Initially, they didn't find the rat feces, but club member Alex Nguyen, now a third-year entomology major, found a fluorescent millipede and showed it to Kimsey.
Had it consumed some of the rat bait? No. An experiment at the Bohart Museum of Entomology on the UC Davis campus showed that these millipedes (Xystocheir dissecta (Wood) glow under ultraviolet or black lights, just like scorpions.
Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum of Entomology and UC Davis professor of entomology, suspects that the millipedes on Alcatraz Island originated from soil transported over from the nearby Angel Island when "The Rock" was just that-rock with little or no soil.
The species is a relatively abundant species in the Bay Area. "This particular species of millipedes glowed all along, but nobody was paying any attention to it," she said.
Nguyen is now doing research in the Bruce Hammock lab on the florescent millipedes. He wants to know what compound makes the millipede fluoresce under a UV light.
This will be Nguyen's fourth overnight trip to The Rock. "I'm very excited to return," he said.
The former maximum-security federal penitentiary once housed some of the country's most notorious inmates including not only "The Bird Man of Alcatraz" but Al "Scarface" Capone, George "Machine Gun" Kelly, and Arthur "Doc" Barker.
Robert Kimsey does research on the nuisance flies that plague staff and tourists on Alcatraz. He became involved in the fly project in July 2007 when he received a call about the annoying flies from entomologist Bruce Badzik, integrated pest management coordinator with the National Park Service, Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Since then, they have worked on a number of projects involving UC Davis Entomology Club members.
So while the 49ers and Seahawks collect first downs, touchdowns and field goals, entomologists Robert Kimsey and Bruce Badzik and the UC Davis students will be collecting millipedes, beetles and other arthropods.
And doing "rat patrol."

GRIEVING families in west Dorset will face having to travel to say farewell to loved ones in the latest round of cost-cutting initiatives, the Echo can reveal.
Dorset County Council, which pays Dorset County Hospital for mortuary services, has terminated its contract in order to establish a single mortuary for the entire county in Boscombe.
There are fears that the move could prevent those who live to the far west of the county being able to visit their loved ones for a final time because of the distance.
It has provoked outrage amongst funeral directors, who say it will have a 'distressing' impact on grieving families.
A spokesman for the Wessex Funeral Directors Association, which represents independent funeral businesses in Dorset, said: "We feel Dorset County Council has not given any consideration to the welfare of the bereaved, who may find themselves having to travel vast distances to identify or visit their loved ones."
He added that the mortuary and bereavement services team at DCH, which carries out 500 post-mortems a year, has a 'very good record of compassion and efficiency'.
The spokesman added: "We feel that the move to Boscombe will not achieve more efficiency, quite the opposite in fact, and savings, if any, will be negligible."
Dorchester town and West Dorset District Councillor Alistair Chisholm said the move would be 'unfortunate and inconvenient' for grieving families.
He added: "If it saves money then that is something we do need to look at, but relatives must have a right to see the body if they wish. It's just another squeeze on public services."
A hospital source said he was concerned about the announcement.
He said: "The mortuary service at DCH gives a lot to the community. It really helps some people to grieve, especially if the death was sudden.
"The staff do reconstruction work so the loved ones can see them for one last time. Will that service be available at the new location? It really raises a lot of worrying questions."
It is understood that those who die on wards at DCH will remain in the mortuary there, but those who are brought in from the community in circumstances where post-mortems need to be carried out to find out the cause of death, will be taken to Boscombe.
Three jobs are believed to be at risk, although it is not known if the posts will be transferred to the new location.
Head of Legal and Democratic Services at Dorset County Council, Jonathan Mair: "As part of merging the East and West Dorset Coroners' areas into one for the whole county, we are working in partnership with Bournemouth Borough Council and the Borough of Poole to use one purpose-built mortuary owned and run by Bournemouth Borough Council. We have therefore notified Dorset County Hospital that we will be terminating our existing mortuary services contract with them."
Mr Mair said the merger grew from an 'opportunity' following the retirement of former West Dorset Coroner Michael Johnston and added that the move made 'financial sense'.
He said: "The mortuary would never turn families away, but there is an encouragement for people to visit their loved ones at funeral homes rather than the mortuary because it is such a clinical environment."
He added that the move is unlikely to affect where inquests will be held.
Council closes contract A spokesperson for Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said: "We have been given notice by Dorset County Council that they are terminating their agreement with us for the provision of mortuary services.
"The council has made it clear that their decision to terminate the arrangement does not reflect any dissatisfaction with the quality of service provided by Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
"It is simply that there is a need to work more effectively and to achieve savings by working with the other local authorities with a shared responsibility for the coroner's service in Dorset.
"We are currently looking at what this change will mean for the Trust."

In addition, new techniques of cluster thinning and harvest practices were implemented to further increase concentration. This research program also led to the conclusion that the poor soils near the Andes, were actually ideal for quality viticulture.
Felipe Stahlschmidt
Mendoza is renowned for housing some of the best winegrowing regions of Argentina. The character of Mendoza wines is forged in high altitude desert vineyards irrigated by mineral-rich snowmelt from glaciers and snowfields. High altitude means cool temperatures and clear air, and clear air means more sunlight for building flavor in the grapes, helping to make Mendoza the source of Argentina's well-earned reputation for top quality, unique wines.

Luke Wright and Ben Brown were in record-breaking form as Sussex reached 441 for five against defending champions Durham in LV= County Championship Division One.
The pair came together with the hosts at 115 for five and remained there at the close having put on 326 runs.
The partnership is Sussex's highest for the sixth wicket, beating a record set in 1930, and the highest sixth-wicket stand for anyone against Durham.
Wright, on 183, is just four runs short of equalling his highest first-class score, while Brown ended the day unbeaten on 152, 40 more than his previous best.
The wicketkeeper, who is standing in for the injured Matt Prior, was dropped by his opposite number Phil Mustard before reaching his half-century.
Yorkshire were grateful for Tim Bresnan's lower-order runs to ensure England colleague Joe Root's good start was not wasted on day one against table-toppers Warwickshire.
Root made 69 and put on 91 with opening partner Adam Lyth, but the Tykes slipped to 181 for six before Bresnan (61) helped top-scorer Kane Williamson (75) add 113 for the seventh wicket as Yorkshire reached 310 for eight.
Neil Dexter led the Middlesex attack as he claimed six Lancashire wickets at Lord's.
Jos Buttler and Tom Smith each hit 59 as the visitors mounted a middle-order comeback before they were eventually bowled out for 266.
Dexter, more noted for his batting prowess, returned career-best figures of six for 63.
Michael Carberry hit an unbeaten half-century to put Hampshire in the ascendency on day one of their Division Two clash with Glamorgan at the Rose Bowl.
The England batsman racked up only his second score of 50 or more this season, ending the day on 62 not out in the hosts' 119 for one in reply to Glamorgan's 224.
Kyle Abbott, Matt Coles and Sean Ervine earlier claimed three wickets each, Ervine returning marginally the best figures of three for 36.
Captain Mark Wallace made an unbeaten 67 for Glamorgan but their total after losing the toss and being put in to bat looked well short.
Surrey's Matt Dunn returned career-best figures but Gloucestershire struck back with the ball to leave the clash at the Kia Oval finely poised after 16 wickets on day one.
Dunn, who celebrated his 22nd birthday on Monday, took five for 48 in Gloucestershire's total of 168 to eclipse his haul at Derby in 2011.
But James Fuller then took four wickets to reduce the hosts to 62 for six - with Zafar Ansari having also retired hurt - before Jason Roy and Chris Tremlett steadied things down to reach 118 for no further loss by the close.
The matches between Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire and Derbyshire and Kent saw no play because of rain.


text: Show Hide image Politics 4 January 2013 FTC closes Google investigation The internet search giant agreed to make changes to its search practices. Sign up for our weekly email * The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has officially closed its 21-month long antitrust investigation of Google without imposing any restrictions on the company's search business. However, the agency suggested Google to make significant changes in its business practices. Under a settlement reached with the FTC, Google will meet its prior commitments to allow competitors access to patents on critical standardized technologies needed to make popular devices such as smart phones, laptop and tablet computers, and gaming consoles. Jon Leibowitz, chairman of FTC, told the Financial Times that the agency's commissioners had voted unanimously not to sue Google over its search business after concluding that it had valid reasons to promote its own information services. "Although some evidence suggested Google was trying to eliminate competition, Google's primary purpose . . . was to improve the user experience," Leibowitz added. David Balto, a former assistant director of competition policy at the FTC told the Financial Times: "This lifts a cloud off Google that will mean they can compete more aggressively." "The FTC's action makes it clear Google's actions don't harm consumers. This closes the book on search," Balto added. Subscribe from just £1 per issue More

Buxom Lash Mascara Reviews
Buxom is Truly Beautiful!I am on an unending quest for THE "perfect" mascara. Many I use come close, such as Benefit's "They're Real!," Lancôme's "Definicils" and "Hypnôse Star Mascara," along with several from drugstores. I believe I received "Buxom" Mascara as a sample in a packet with other items. I was most pleasantly surprised! This mascara is safe for even the most sensitive eyes. It is free of Parabens, Sulf...read moreates, Phthalates, and synthetic dyes and fragrances. Better yet, it is vitamin-enriched to treat lashes with care. The company itself suggests how to use this rich formula: On bottom lashes, apply only to the topside (I have to wonder how you would apply it any other way). Since lashes are thicker at the roots, they advise beginning with the tips and then sweeping the mascara from root to tip. Buxom says several coats can be added, and this is true. This does not clump or flake and separates very well. It remains pliable and soft (it reminds me somewhat of Maybelline's "Full and Soft"), as you can use as many coats as you want until desired volume, length, and color are achieved. I will still continue to use other mascaras, but this is excellent, wonderful, and nearly perfect. — 4 years, 5 months agoGigiSD | 1102 reviews

I like!I got a deluxe sample of this mascara. Although I do like the length of the brush, I wish the bristles were just a tiny bit longer. Then again the length of the brush can be a little bit hard to maneuver. The formula stays jet black and doesn't clump on my lashes.

I do *not* have lush, full, thick natural lashes, so I'm always on the hunt for a mascara that makes me look like I have all those things. Winner! The Buxom mascara is fantastic. One of the things I like best (beyond the fact that it makes me look like I'm wearing false eyelashes) is that my eyelashes stay soft. They don't get brittle and funky feeling. There's minimal smudging, but I am 100% willing to deal with that in return for lashes like these. And it's truly, truly minimal. I received a sample of this from Sephora. It definitely has it's good points. It separates well, doesn't clump. But I didn't get much thickening or lengthening from it. It gave me a nice look, but more natural than I was expecting from something called "Buxom". I usually don't like this type of brush, but this one was nice to use. I have a terrible problem with getting the raccoon eye look under my eyes from nearly every mascara I try. This one is no exception, however it is much more minimal than most others — 5 years, 5 months agomihshelle | 182 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

At Goldline, we are passionate about curling. But, curling is not just about passion - it also requires product, people, and places to thrive!
Goldline is the place to go for all your curling equipment and apparel. We have all the tools you need to get started in the game or to take it up to the next level.
Shoes are often the starting point. At Goldline, you can pick a shoe from the ever popular Podium series. New this season is our G Force shoe featuring a full-length ¼" Teflon slider. Rounding out the selection is the Glide, with its full-length 1/16" slider.
Many curlers who are new to the sport begin by using club brooms, but at a certain point, most curlers make the decision to purchase a broom of their own. The Fiberlite broom is an excellent choice for all curlers. If you are looking to use an even lighter broom, the Carbon Fiber broom is the next logical choice. And why not top off that broom with the revolutionary Norway pad? If you are no longer able to get down into the hack, we also offer Saber and Excaliber delivery devices.
In terms of apparel, we have a broad selection of pants for both men and women. Our Oslo jackets come in a variety of colours, including our newest two-tone combo of black with pacific blue. Layering is the key to staying warm when you're out in the ice shed: the Ice Tech Tee is a great base layer, providing warmth and breathability. And in addition to our leather mitts, we have two new styles of gloves this year: the Precision and the Thermocurl.
Ed Flowers started the business in 1967 out of his garage, but Goldline has continued to grow! We now have four retail stores in Ontario. The first retail store opened in Mississauga in the late 1980s, and the Toronto and Ottawa locations opened a few years later. In September 2011, the company proudly opened its fourth retail location in London, Ontario.
But what if you are not within driving distance of one of our retail stores? Not to worry! There are 150 distributors of Goldline product located all across Canada. Go to goldlinecurling.com and click on Distributors for a complete list of where you can pick up your curling equipment and apparel.
Even if you are not within easy reach of one of our distributors, shopping is just a click away. Through our website our reach now extends around the globe. We also have a number of international distributors with whom we do business. For those living in the United States, Goldline merchandise is available from Brooms Up (in the eastern U.S.A) and from Debbie McCormick (former World champion and 3-time Olympian). Overseas, we do business with a number of nations, including Scandinavia (CurlingguHa in Norway; One Corner Curling in Sweden); Asia (Ishide Sports and Sporting Caneck in Japan; AFC in South Korea; and Curl Management in China) and the European Union (British Curling Supplies in Scotland; Goldline Europe in Switzerland).
All of the people that work at Goldline share one thing: a pure passion for the sport of curling. Be it the customer service associate at the end of the phone line, one of the staff in our retail stores or someone in the back office, we are all working towards one goal: to promote and grow the sport of curling!
Our employees and distributors are not the only people behind the Goldline name. We are also proud to sponsor a large number of curling teams around the globe. Who is on this team of Goldline Ambassadors? In Ontario, we support the teams skipped by Rachel Homan and Rob Rumfeldt. Across Canada, our ambassadors include the teams skipped by Brad Gushue, Shannon Kleibrink and Steve Laycock. And across the pond, we have thrown our support behind teams Thomas Ulsrud in Norway and Eve Muirhead in Scotland.
Ultimately, it comes down to passion! We want to grow the sport and to do so, we continue to promote it to the world at large. Goldline is proud to sponsor curling events in the various communities in which it conducts business. A brief snapshot of the events we support:
• In the greater Toronto area, the TCA Goldline men's bonspiel is one of the largest bonspiels in North America. Held every January (this year's event runs from January 12-19, 2013), the bonspiel welcomes roughly 300 teams each year! Has your team signed up yet??
• This year, Goldline is delighted to be a sponsor of the Strathcona Cup. This unique event, held every five years, brings Scottish teams across the Atlantic to battle in cities across Canada. In total there will be over 400 games played during the 2013 competition, with the final matches and closing banquet to be held in Burlington, Ontario, Over 1,700 Canadians will participate as opposition and hosts for the Scots.
• In April 2012, Goldline was pleased to be a sponsor of the World Men's Curling Championships in Basel, Switzerland. And look for us again next spring when we will be in Riga, Latvia, for the 2013 World Women's Curling championship.
• In Scotland, we are proud to be the primary sponsor of the Goldline Scottish Curling Tour.
So there you have it: Goldline's Four "P's" of Curling – Product, Places, People & Passion.
What other "P" words can you add to the list?

Arenado progressing, but upset he'll miss big series
DENVER -- With the Braves in town, third baseman Nolan Arenado has been forced to watch the Rockies lose two of their first three to the team he fractured his left middle finger against nearly three weeks ago.
But it's the series that preceded and the series that's coming that has him most dismayed to miss.
"I was more upset about the Dodgers series than anything," said Arenado. "We're going to [San Francisco] for a weekend series, and that's a series I really want to be in."
Arenado won't be ready though, as his finger will not be reevaluated until the Rockies return from their six-game road trip on June 19. If Arenado's X-rays show the finger to be healed at that point, the Rockies will accelerate his rehabilitation, with a Minor League rehab assignment still in play.
At the moment, Arenado has no complaints about how his finger is progressing.
"I think it's healing great," said Arenado. "It's feeling better, I'm starting to move it a little bit and it doesn't hurt. There's no pain anymore."
Arenado was given a 4-6 week timetable after it was determined his finger wouldn't require surgery. As of late, the high-energy National League Gold Glove Award winner has been running, lifting, throwing, participating in agility drills as well as some top-hand hitting drills.
"I see him running around the field," said manager Walt Weiss. "He's getting fairly close."

Reds keep winning despite rotation issues
CINCINNATI -- The defining stat line of a quality start -- at least six innings pitched with no more than three earned runs -- was developed in the 1980s as a way of quantifying how well a pitcher performed in a game.
The Reds have a 15-6 record when they get a quality start from their starter and 7-10 when they don't. But lately, they are winning despite a handful of subpar starts.
In nine straight games before Sunday, Reds starters have not turned in a quality performance, but the team is 6-3 in those games. The last time Cincy went nine in a row without a quality start was June 12-20, 2005.
"I hadn't noticed," Reds manager Dusty Baker said Sunday morning when asked about his rotation lately.
The rotation posted a 6.06 ERA in that nine-game stretch. Only Mike Leake completed seven innings, when he pitched into the eighth against the Braves on Wednesday, but he was charged with four earned runs in a 7-2 loss.
"That's what counts -- to win," Baker said. "I'll take a quality start, but I'll take a quality win [more]. Some guys have quality starts and don't have a win."
During Sunday's 5-1 win over the Brewers, Bronson Arroyo stopped the streak with 6 2/3 scoreless innings. He also had the last quality start on April 30 vs. St. Louis.

Back strain to cost Pineda three to four weeks
NEW YORK -- The Yankees will be without Michael Pineda for longer than anticipated, as the right-hander ended his simulated game on Tuesday after just one inning when he felt tightness under his pitching arm.
Following an MRI exam, team physician Christopher Ahmad diagnosed Pineda with a Grade 1 strain of the teres major muscle in his upper back. The Yankees said that Pineda will be shut down from activity for 10 days, and the injury will cost him three to four weeks.
Pineda is currently on the restricted list, serving a 10-game suspension after being ejected for having pine tar -- an illegal substance -- on his neck in last Wednesday's game at Fenway Park.
That suspension is slated to end next Monday, when the right-hander was expected to pitch against the Angels in Anaheim. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said late Tuesday that he is looking into how the team will satisfy Pineda's suspension with his upcoming trip to the disabled list.
Pineda is 2-2 with a 1.83 ERA in four starts this season, having rung up 15 strikeouts against three walks in 19 2/3 innings. He did not pitch in the big leagues during the 2012 and '13 campaigns because of right labrum surgery.
Earlier on Tuesday, Girardi said that the club will continue to use David Phelps as a spot starter while Pineda is unavailable. Phelps owns a 3.86 ERA in nine relief appearances this season. He is scheduled to start on Wednesday against the Mariners and will be asked to throw 70-75 pitches.

AS Chorley FC prepares for life in the Skrill North division next season, Garry Flitcroft could be forgiven for ploughing all of his energies into football.
But the 41-year-old has invested heavily in a sideline at Flitcraft, close to the village of St Michael's On Wyre on the way to Garstang.
Here, bespoke timber frame houses can be built in a factory and transported on a truck ready to be put up.
For those pioneering this new way of housebuilding it is the 'future', with the speed of a build dramatically reduced and improved insulation, meaning a drop in energy bills.
For Flitcroft, who played 248 times in 10 years for Rovers after signing from Manchester City in 1996, it is a labour of love.
He said: "My dad was a builder and when I was 18 I bought four or five properties with my first signing-on fee. I have a portfolio built over the past 20 years and I have always enjoyed working in property."
Although keen to develop his property portfolio, Flitcroft still has eyes on pushing up the footballing ladder, but only when the time is right.
He said: "I still do training on a Tuesday and Thursday and it does not interfere with this. Staff here make the panels and deal with sales so it runs itself really.
"I had a chance at the Preston North End job when Graham Westley got it and if I had got that job things would have been different."
Flitcraft isn't the first time the Magpies boss, who took over at Victory Park in 2010, has invested in eco-homes after building seven luxury Huf Hauses on the old Victoria Mill site in Chapeltown.
But the new factory, off Tarnacre Lane, he has the capacity to achieve £20 million turnover and has space for up to 50 staff.
The firm uses insulated timber frame panels to provide the basic structure of a house, with a compression machine forcing two panels together either side of insulating foam.
This method ensures heat does not escape from the homes, meaning far cheaper energy bills, claims Flitcroft. He said: "They are almost zero-carbon. This is the future of housebuilding."
Panels are made to measure in the factory, ready to be put together on the site. The frame of the home, including beams for internal rooms, can be erected within a week.
Flitcroft said: "The intention is it gets done quickly and is watertight so people can get working inside and out."
Once the house frame is in place, any cladding can be built on the outside of the home to give it the typical brick or stone appearance, and internal work can commence.

Roderick's decision to remain with the Utes certainly helps Utah's recruiting as it heads into a crucial weekend with more than 15 players planning to visit. Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said Thursday the Utes continue to recruit linemen as a priority, but are also looking at the best available athletes. "Recruiting isn't an exact science and we're still going to take players at every position," he said. Joe Kruger's decision to head to the NFL has prompted the Utes to take a good look at the defensive end position. "He was a projected starter so that does play into the recruiting process," Whittingham said. "But it also creates an opportunity for someone to earn a starting job. That is the silver lining to it." The Utes missed out on one candidate when Lyndon Tulimasealii, a defensive end from College of the Desert committed to Oregon State. Defensive ends Myron Aiava, from Westminster, Calif., and Sam Tevi, from Euless, Texas, are among the players who have committed to Utah and will visit this weekend. - Lya Wodraska

Manuel Rodriguez, assistant chief of police in National City, has been promoted to police chief, city officials announced Monday.
Rodriguez, 53, who grew up in National City, said Monday night that the appointment is the fulfillment of a longtime goal to conclude his career in law enforcement as a chief of police.
He said he is particularly pleased that he will be able to do that in National City, where his family moved when he was a boy. Rodriguez is a graduate of National City Middle School and Sweetwater High School, where he served as student body president.
He said he sees the appointment as "an opportunity to give back" to the community.
Rodriguez spent 20 years with the San Diego Police Department, working his way up to special assistant to the chief of police. In 2005, he became a captain for the National City Police Department and he was promoted to assistant police chief in 2007.
Rodriguez said the move to National City gave him an opportunity for greater responsibility and better preparation to be a police chief.
He succeeds Adolfo Gonzales, who last month accepted a position as the head of the Bureau of Investigation at the District Attorney's Office.
As police chief, Rodriguez will oversee a $21.5 million budget and a staff of 120, including 80 sworn officers, City Manager Leslie Deese said in a statement. She said his contract was still being negotiated, and his salary will be released Tuesday.
During his tenure in National City, the city began community-oriented policing and problem-oriented policing, resulting in a decrease in crime since 2006, Deese said. She said Rodriguez was instrumental in starting a public-safety camera project in National City that was the first of its kind in the county. Cameras were installed in three areas in the city considered problem locations for prostitution, Deese said in a phone interview.
Rodriguez said one of his goals is to keep police officers engaged with the community, and he feels the department has "been on a really good path" in that area.
He said it is important for officers to remember "kindness" and compassion while they are policing.
Rodriguez is a founding member and former president of the San Diego metro chapter of the National Latino Police Officers Association. In 2008, he received a lifetime membership award from the association for his work in mentoring other law-enforcement members.

Swings, slides, swimming, supper and stains: How to enjoy everything summer has to offer
- Written by BPT
Long, cold months stuck inside can give any family cabin fever. Fortunately, winter is over and warmer weather has returned. That means it's time to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors with your family.
If you love the idea of heading outside but you're worried about the malodors and messes that might come as side effects of fun outdoor activities, Tide has got you covered with some ideas for how to make the most of warm weather days, and let Tide handle the cleanup for you, getting your clothes cleaned the first time. Enjoy these carefree activities with the whole family.
* Plan a family bike ride. Who says bikes are just for kids? Bike rides can be enjoyed by the whole family and they're great exercise as well. Don't be afraid to go off the beaten path - opt for a trail ride as opposed to riding down busy streets. This will be safer for everyone and give the experience a more natural feel. If you're unsure where the trails are in your area, visit your local bike shop. They will be able to help you find the perfect trail for your family's goals and the abilities of your smallest riders.
* Play ball. America's favorite pastime - baseball - and warm-weather months simply go hand in hand. So why not catch the spirit and turn your family into a collection of future all-stars by hosting a neighborhood baseball game? If you have room in your backyard, play there. If not, secure one of the fields at your local park. You can rest assured that when your kids slide into third base, you'll be able to restore their jerseys to their original fresh smell.
* Bask in the great outdoors. If you're looking for an outdoor activity that allows your family to really get away from it all, you can't beat camping. If you're ready to embrace nature and sleep under the stars, visit your state's Department of Natural Resources website for open campgrounds. And don't worry if your clothes smell like you've been outside all day after camping. Tide Simply Clean and Fresh works hard the first time to remove tough odor and dirt from clothes, so your family can enjoy the great outdoors knowing that Tide will freshen up your smelly clothes in no time.
* Host a cookout. For some people, summer barbecues are as much a part of the summer as trips to the beach or the Fourth of July. If you're one of these people, make hosting a barbecue a family event. Invite your friends and neighbors to your barbecue and give each family member a special task to make the barbecue successful. This way they will feel more part of the event. And while you're planning the menu, don't forget that Tide Simply Clean and Fresh can handle the cleanup the next day and remove any cookout odors that may be lingering from that delicious hotdog or barbecue.
The warmer months are perhaps the most enjoyable time of the year, and with the right activities and cleanup gear, you can make the most of the time with your family, without having to worry about the mess. So get together and decide what you want to do. As long as you're doing it outdoors and together, you're in for a great time.
