LG names smartphone Android 4.0 recipients
LG has named the smartphones that will gain the in-demand Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich OS upgrade. Specifically, LG will make the new Google operating system available for its Optimus 2x, Optimus Black and Optimus 3D. They may not be the only ones. LG said on its Facebook page: "We are also continuing to evaluate the ICS OS …
This topic is closed for new posts.
Unofficial ports
LG stopped supporting the GT540 at 2.2, but CyanogenMod works brilliantly (2.3.4) and now ICS.
Next month?
So i guess all that promise of the GB update won't be fulfilled...
Hopefully they will do some work on the radio as the Optimus 2X can hold a signal about as well as it can hold a party.

I would find it hard to be in relationship with a habitual liar or worse, someone who cannot tell the difference between lying and telling the truth.
I have no advice on how to deal with someone like that.

Itinerary & Highlights at a Glance
Days 1-5: Krakow
In Krakow's UNESCO-listed medieval Market Square, browse the Christmas Market where some of the country's finest artisans display their hand crafted gifts, such as hand-painted pottery, crèches and gingerbread ornaments. Make Polish pierogi under the guidance of your own private chef. Sample regional delicacies and hot mulled wine in a snowy mountain town lined with 19th century log buildings. Take a magical torch-lit sleigh ride bundled in blankets, then warm yourself at a bonfire, roasting kielbasa and tasting Polish vodka. Participate in a workshop showing how old-time Polish village people made their Christmas decorations by hand. Tour a small factory where Poland's famous hand-blown glass ornaments are created and travel by train to Warsaw.

Days 6-8: Warsaw
Travel by train to Warsaw and take a walking tour of Warsaw's Royal Road, a gracious avenue festooned during the holiday season with swags of elegant white lights. Visit some of the city's churches to admire their Nativity scenes. Gather in a Polish home for a traditional family-style Wigilia, the Christmas Eve vigil and dinner, beginning as the first star appears in the eastern sky. Taste each of the 12 dishes served at a Christmas Eve dinner, as well as desserts such as the poppy-seed pastry called makowiec. Join the family at the midnight church service of Christmas carols sung by the whole congregation together. This yearly service is so much a part of Polish Christmas traditions that a participant does not have to be a believer to enjoy the joyful ritual.

The Neelys come back home with 3rd blockbuster cookbook
They met in the 1980's at Melrose High School, star-crossed sweethearts who lost touch after graduation. A 10-year class reunion, marriage in 1994, a thriving family barbeque business in Memphis – 20 years later, America gets to come "Back Home With the Neelys."
"We know our home folk in Memphis will really get a kick out of this third book," said Patrick Neely, one half of the superstar cooking couple in their own Food Network Show.
"Gina and I tell stories about our grandparents, stories we can all relate to. Along with our recipes are the stories we can remember growing up, memories on my grandfather's back porch over there in Orange Mound. Those are our roots. Those are our beginnings, and we want to always remember them."

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
And I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasin' you
Hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Now it seems to me, that some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get
Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin' no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin' you home
And freedom, oh freedom, that's just some people talkin'
Your prison is walking through this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
Well you're losin' all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you,
You better let somebody love you, before it's too late
It's too late

JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (AP) -- Former District Attorney General Joe Crumley led Jonesborough police on a brief chase before hitting a cruiser that was trying to stop him.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol reported that an officer noticed Crumley driving erratically at just after noon on Wednesday and attempted to stop him.
When Crumley did not stop, Sgt. Brian Proffitt got in front of Crumley with his cruiser. Crumley then ran into the rear of the cruiser, causing minor damage.
Neither Crumley nor Proffitt was injured.
Jonesborough Police Chief Matt Hawkins told the Johnson City Press the whole chase lasted only about 90 seconds. Hawkins said more details would be forthcoming.
Crumley served as 1st judicial district attorney general from 1998-2006. He was defeated in his re-election bid by Tony Clark.

Hagel Orders Pentagon to Buy New Software for Heath RecordsTweet
May 23, 2013
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has ordered the Pentagon to buy a new healthcare management system to better communicate with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), according to an article in The Washington Post.
For years, the Pentagon and the VA have been trying to build a single, unified system, but this decision will create two systems that can talk to each other. Previously, both departments ran separate systems that could not communicate.
From the article:
The Defense Department said it is seeking new software via competitive bid from the private sector that will improve continuity of care as military members transition into civilian life.
"Our service members and veterans, and their families, expect and deserve a seamless system to administer the benefits they have earned," Hagel said in a statement.
The VA has amassed a huge backlog of disability claims from veterans, with some having to wait more than a year for their paperwork to be processed. Part of the reason for this delay was the incompatibility of the records systems at the VA and the Pentagon and the extended period of time it took the Defense Department to transfer records to the VA.

See Beyonce and Jay Z in their first HBO concert event! Recorded at Stade de France in Paris on the international leg of their current tour, the special will feature the superstars performing more than 40 songs.
This documentary explores the life of Jay Z, a rap star and business mogul. It begins in his childhood, goes through the challenges of growing up without a father, dealing with drugs on the streets of New York and eventually taking rap serious enough to become one of the greatest and most successful rap artists today. This is the life story of Jay Z.
Jay-Z has established himself as one of the most successful and creative hip hop artists of all time. But his remarkable rise to fame was heralded by his first album Reasonable Doubt which broke new ground for Rap, telling the bitter-sweet story of a street hustler from Brooklyn with striking, coded lyrics supported by rich Soul samples. "It was about real emotions. Our real life experiences. I don't believe it had ever been done before in this way", says Jay-Z. This unusual album was misunderstood by many in the industry when it was first released in 1996 and Jay-Z was initially unable to find a record label to release it. Undeterred, he created his own Rocca-A-Fella Records and started on the path that now sees him not just as an outstanding Rap artist but also President of international recording and clothing companies and much more. "Reasonable Doubt is the foundation of everything I've done. It's the foundation of me leaving one life to another; it's the foundation of my career as a recording artist. It's the foundation on which everything was built". This Classic Album program uncovers the unusual story of how and why Reasonable Doubt was made, and the moral maze its story presents. Jay-Z collaborated with many major producers, like DJ Premier, Irv Gotti, Clark Kent, Knobody Sean Cane. In Ski's words: "The Producer role was creating the backdrop, the soundtrack, to this artist's life". Mary J Blige, Foxy Brown, Sauce Money and Memphis Bleek describe the particular role they played in creating the vocal tracks, and how they worked with Jay-Z to give this album its unique style and content. Kanye West and movie writer Barry Michael Cooper, are among others who analyse the inner core of the album, the voices, rhythms, lyrics and conflicting emotions that make this album a Classic. While the producers show how they created their soulful samples, and while Jay-Z and the vocalists describe the inspiration for their lyrics, the program uses rare performance footage, home movies of Jay-Z in clubs like The Tunnel and The Palladium, in 1996, and later, bigger shows to feature extracts from "Can't Knock The Hustle", "Ain't No N..", "Brooklyn's Finest", "Dead Presidents II", "D'Evils", "Can I Live", "Regrets" ...and others. Reasonable Doubt is the one Jay-Z chose to be his Classic Album because of the power of its music and poetry and because of the disturbing and precautionary story it tells. "He's presenting the songs as Jay-Z, but he's letting you into Shawn Carter. Showing you a glimpse of who this person really is. And that's the voice of our generation."
A Genius Leaves The Hood: The Unauthorized Story of Jay Z chronicles how hip-hop's most successful rapper of the past two decades reached the top. The film attempts to divulge the savvy and cunning business acumen of a mogul who decided that being at the top of the charts wasn't enough. This 60-minute unauthorized biography explores the mind of a man who never played by the rules and admits it.
On the surface, "A Genius Leaves The Hood: The Unauthorized Story of Jay Z" chronicles how hip-hop's most successful rapper of the past two decades reached the top; but at its core, the film attempts to divulge the savvy and cunning business acumen of a mogul who decided being at the top of the charts wasn't enough. This 60-minute unauthorized biography explores the mind of a man who never played by the rules and admits it. This film uncovers the price Mr. Carter paid for his success through recent controversies that include the racial debate of the Barneys deal, the feud with Harry Belafonte, and clashes with community activists over the construction of the Barclay Center. The film also explores rumors of association with the Illuminati, a highly publicized separation from the Roc-A-Fella crew, his estranged relationship with rapping mentor Jaz-O, and his break up with business partner Damon Dash. Through in-depth interviews with friends, former business partners, music industry executives, authors and journalists, this exploratory biopic gives the novice, the fan, the critic and the non-believer an uncensored look at Jay Z's journey from Marcy Projects to Madison Avenue and beyond. As a drug dealer, turned rapper, turned CEO, turned author, turned sports agent, viewers will discover what drove Jay-Z to seek unlimited wealth, how he positioned himself to achieve this wealth, and whether criticism is warranted for someone who successfully pursued the American dream.

Smart exercises to offset desk damage
Your sedentary job could ruin your figure – and not just because you can't say no to 'cake Thursdays'. Offset the damage your desk does with these exercises
- Image Credit: Getty Images
- Every time you are in the office, actively engage your core.
We all know sitting down all day's not great for our health. But when we recently read the latest news on the setbacks of a sedentary life, we leapt from our seats in horror. A deskbound job, it seems, means a saggy, wide behind.
Scientists at Tel Aviv University recently scanned the buttocks of a group of inactive people and found their muscles to be shrinking and breaking down as a result of underuse. They also found inactivity lets fat cells thrive, causing thick layers of fat to develop deep within the buttock muscles.
And it's not just the inactivity that's to blame. The study revealed 'preadipocyte cells' (the precursor to fat cells) that were subject to sustained loading – in other words, being sat on – turned into fat cells and started to accumulate fat twice as fast as normal cells. Sitting for long periods won't just waste your glutes and make your bum fat – it'll make it flatter and wider, too.
But while our bottoms take the brunt, office work has other body consequences. There's that hunched-over-your-PC posture and slack abs, for a start. Thankfully, all it takes is awareness and the right exercises to counteract the damage. Here, our experts take you through the causes and corrections of 'office body'.
The problem: Flabby bottom
"If you're in a sitting position all day, your buttock muscles – your gluteus maximus, gluteus medius and gluteus minimus – will be stretched out to full range," says physiotherapist Elizabeth Ebelthite, director of Marple Physio (www.marplephysio.com). "They become lazy and weak. At the same time your hip flexors, at the front of your hips, are shortened and become tight and overactive. Our muscles are strongest at mid range – neither too flexed or too stretched."
Why does it matter? "Having weak glutes and tight hip flexors can predispose you to lower back pain and hamstring injuries as you'll overuse these parts to make the movements your glutes should be responsible for," says Ebelthite. The three glute muscles are also what give your derriere shape and tone, so if you want a bum that's more fab than flab, you'd better start working it.
"You're guaranteed to improve sports performance if you target these key muscles, too," adds Ebelthite. "If more runners worked on their glutes, for example, they'd be stronger, faster and less injury-prone."
Test your glutes by lying face down on the floor, she advises. "Bend one knee to a right angle, so your sole is facing the ceiling. Keeping the foot flat, slowly raise that leg about six inches from the floor and try to hold it there for 30 seconds."
If your buttock muscles are strong and switched on, you should be able to perform this move easily and feel it only in those muscles. If they're weak your leg will start to shake and you'll feel it in your hamstrings and lower back," says Ebelthite. "A lot of people just get cramp in their hamstrings instantly, meaning their glutes aren't firing at all."
Make it better in the office
- To strengthen your buttocks at your desk, simple isometric clenches are great – alternate between holding for 10 seconds each rep, squeezing and releasing slowly and fast pulses.
- Try the Wall Sit. With your back flat against a wall, bend at the knees to lower your body until you're in a sitting position. Hold for 30 seconds.
- Take the stairs two at a time to really engage your glutes.
At home or in the gym
- Lying on your back, feet flat on the floor and close in to your bottom, hug one knee in to your chest. Then try to lift your bottom off the floor a few inches and hold for a few seconds. Do 8 reps, building up to 14.
- Lie on your side, supporting your head with your hand. Keep your lower leg bent, upper leg straight, foot flexed. Leading with your heel, lift the upper leg slowly and lower. Do three sets of 10.
- At the gym try weighted squats and lunges, kettle bell swings, the stairclimber.
- Stretch your hip flexors (after exercise or when warm from a bath). In a lunge position with your back knee on the floor, rest your hands on your front knee, tighten your abs to keep your back straight, rotate your back heel outwards and push your hips forwards. Hold for 20 seconds.
The problem: Upper body hunch
Look around your office and you'll soon recognise the typical desk-worker slump – shoulders hunched, neck forwards, head dropped. "It's the opposite of good posture," says Pilates expert Caron Bosler (www.caronboslerpilates.com). "Your chest muscles (pecs) get short and tight; your upper back and neck muscles (traps and lats) relax too much, over-lengthen and don't hold the shoulders and head where they should be."
Why does it matter?
The more time your muscles spend in this underworking, overstretched position, the weaker they get. "A hunchback posture becomes permanent," says Bosler. "Over time it can actually become impossible to pull the head back into proper alignment."
Poor posture's not just unattractive, it can compromise your breathing, circulation, digestion, mood and lead to long-term back problems, headaches, joint problems and more. "Simply by correcting your posture you'll instantly feel more energised and look 7lbs lighter," promises Bosler.
Make it better
"Any position that counteracts the forward slump is going to help," she says. "You need to open up the chest and work the upper back."
In the office
- Try the executive stretch – lean backwards in your office chair, stretching your arms out wide to the sides. Relax into the position.
- Stand with your back against a wall. Try to actively get your heels, hips, shoulders and head back on the wall. Stay and breathe there for a few minutes.
- Face a wall, just under an arm's length away. Place your right palm on the wall at shoulder height, keeping a soft elbow. Turn in an anticlockwise direction until you're facing away from the wall. Feel the stretch across your chest and bicep. Hold for 20 seconds, repeat on the other side.
- Pretend you're holding a pencil between your shoulder blades. Roll your shoulders back and down and squeeze them together for 5 -10 seconds. Repeat 10 times.
At home or in the gym
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, exhale and bend forwards from the hips, keeping a flat back. Pretend you're gathering armfuls of flowers from the floor below you, then lift back up to standing, throwing your arms up and behind you, letting the 'flowers' cascade down over your head. "This movement stretches your hamstrings and lower back, then opens out your chest, neck and rotates the shoulders back," says Bosler.
In a full length mirror, turn sideways. "With correct posture the top of your ear should be in vertical alignment with the middle of your shoulder, your hip, your knee and the point just in front of your ankle bone," says Bosler. "You shoulder cuff should be pointing directly up, not forwards."
At the gym, do weights exercises to strengthen your upper back – lat pull-down, pull-ups, bent over row, reverse flies, rowing machine.
The problem: Slack stomach
Ever sit at your desk and wonder what that puffy thing is overhanging your waistband? Wait, no, it can't be, your… stomach? Yes, sorry folks, but another casualty of the sedentary job is your six-pack. "Sitting at a desk isn't good for your core," agrees Bosler. "The erector spinae – the small muscles that run up either side of your spine – have to take responsibility for holding you upright and so they get really tight."
Why does it matter? As well as an unslightly pot belly, having a weak core can lead to all sorts of lower back niggles and pains, sciatica and referred pain in the limbs and joints. Keep a strong core, however, and you'll soon have abs to rival Jessica Ennis and posture that makes you look and feel healthy and strong.
Make it better in the office
Switch your office chair for a Fitball. Sitting on one of these means your core is constantly engaged and backpain is minimised. "To pick the right size for you, make sure your hips are above your knees when you sit on it," Bosler advises. Feels too weird? Just try it for half an hour at a time and build up slowly.
Every time you're on the phone or whenever you remember, actively engage your core. Think about lifting your pelvic floor and pulling your belly button in towards your spine.
Try Bosler's top stretch to relieve sciatica: from sitting, cross one foot over the opposite knee, let the knee of the upper leg flop to the side, then lean forwards, feeling a stretch and release around your glute, hip and lower back. Hold for 20 seconds. Repeat on the other side.
Use your desk to perform a half plank. Rest your elbows and forearms on the desk, straighten your legs out behind you and hold, keeping your body in a straight line from head to toe. Aim for one minute.
At home or in the gym
Switch on your abdominal muscles in the morning so you're more aware of them all day. Do three sets of 10 basic ab curls, keeping a neutral spine throughout.
Work on variations of the plank position, such as side plank or lifting alternate arms and legs (Superman plank).
In the gym, skip the machines and work out using kettle bells, free weights, Vipr, TRX, Fitballs and Bosu boards to add extra core work to your usual routine.
10 ways to increase your workday activity
- Walk, run or cycle all or part of your commute.
- Take an exercise class or hit the gym during your lunchtime.
- Take regular screen and desk breaks. Use prompt tools on your computer, like EVO (www.protectyourvision.org) and Big Stretch Reminder (www.monkeymatt.com/bigstretch).
- Follow @OfficeWorkout – this is a Twitter bot that tweets random workout moves every 30 minutes.
- Stand up to make phone calls.
- Read paperwork standing at a high table.
- Take the stairs not the lift.
- Don't call or email colleagues when you could walk to see them.
- Offer to do every coffee run.
- Waiting for the printer, photocopier or kettle to do its job? Pass the time with a few minutes' worth of calf raises or single-leg squats.

At this time of year, we're enjoying a lot of fresh, local produce – from corn, to peaches, to tomatoes. And, speaking of the latter, what better time than the dog days of summer to whip up some fresh guacamole? It pairs well with beer, doesn't involve any slaving away over the stove and is a great pre-BBQ snack! (more…)

xOD Capsule Newsletter - March 14, 2006
www.cedmagazine.com | CED Broadband Direct | Current Issue | Subscriptions March 14 , 2006 TiVo teams service with hardwareTiVo Inc. is trying to goose market share by bundling together (and therefore simplifying) the company's hardware and software service package. Last week, the company began selling its 80-hour Series2 box and service together, so customers won't have to shoulder a big upfront hardware cost. The catch? TiVo's got to get a return from that investment, so customers who take this route are expected to stick around and commit to the service for at least a year. The one-year package goes for $19.95 per month ($224 prepaid). The two-year package sells for $18.95 per month ($369 prepaid) The three-year deal goes for $16.95 per month ($469 prepaid) The move is a clear indication that TiVo is doing whatever it must to move the subscription needle in a new era in which it won't be able to rely on DirecTV to drive the bulk of new TiVo customers. In the quarter ended Jan. 31, TiVo had 4.4 million subscribers, up 45 percent from a year ago. But for the quarter, TiVo added 173,000 DirecTV subs, down from 379,000. This was expected because DirecTV is now pushing a DVR platform powered by corporate cousin NDS Group. So TiVo will have to pick up the slack from somewhere else. It does have a coveted deal with Comcast Cable, but time will tell how much fruit that will bear. Elsewhere in TiVoland, the DVR pioneer inked a deal that will allow Verizon Wireless subs to access their recorders remotely. Starting this summer, Verizon cellular subs be able to access TiVo Mobile through a simple download to handsets. Mobile DVR access is also a component expected to emerge from the joint venture between Sprint joint venture with Comcast Corp., Advance/Newhouse, Cox Communications and Time Warner Cable. — Jeff Baumgartner, Editor in Chief, CED magazine and xOD CapsuleDirecTV offers early look at FX originalDirecTV is leveraging its pay-per-view system to give viewers an early look at its controversial new series, Black.White., a new original series from corporate cousin FX. DirecTV customers will have the ability to watch episodes of the series up to 48 hours before they premiere on FX. The broadcast debut is set for March 8. DirecTV will offer the special PPV window through April 10. Customers who take the early window will pay $2.99 per show. DirecTV isn't the first to try this early premiere approach with TV programming. Apple Computer recently began offering early access to "Conviction" from NBC for $1.99 per episode. Cablevision, Autobytel drive VOD serviceAutobytel Inc. said its CarTV division has won a deal to provide on-demand vehicle videos for Cablevision Systems Corp.'s "Optimum Autos" service. Available to Cablevision's 2 million digital subs in the New York metropolitan area, the interactive car shopping channel will feature 100 new vehicle video reviews. Videos will be added on a monthly basis. "The future of automotive marketing and information is online video and VOD, which is why we've focused on making CarTV a leader in automotive video programming content," said Autobytel President & CEO Rick Post. Autobytel said its CarTV division served up nearly 370,000 hours of video programming in 2005. SPEED accelerates VOD offeringSPEED has teamed with Anystream Inc. and SeaChange International as part of a plan to simplify and accelerate production of video-on-demand (VOD) content. SPEED, which features NASCAR TV and racing series such as Formula One, Supercross, IHRA, and the American Le Mans, will produce VOD fare with Anystream's QuickSilver Agility platform, which extracts and transcodes video for on-demand delivery. The system, resold and integrated by SeaChange via an agreement announce last April, is designed to ingest files from storage or editing workstations and combine them with CableLabs-compliant metadata files, box art and promos. Cingular tunes in video serviceCingular has launched a mobile, on-demand video service outfitted for select 3G-capable phones. Cingular Video, as it's called, features video clips and trailers from a raft of programmers, including ABC, Cartoon Network, CNN, Disney Channel, ESPN, Fox Sports, Fox News, Fuel, HBO, iFilm, NBC, Speed, The Weather Channel, and TV Guide Channel. Later, the service will also feature content from CBS Sportsline, Nascar.com, and TCM. Video customers are required to purchase the Cingular "MEdia Net Unlimited" data package for $19.99. In terms of premium content, the service will offer access to HBO Mobile and HBO Family Mobile for $4.99 per month and $2.99 per month, respectively. The service is presently available in Austin, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Portland, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Seattle, Tacoma and Washington D.C. At the start, Cingular Mobile is being offered on the LG CU320 or Samsung SGH-Zx10 handsets. This spring, access will be extended to the Nokia 6282 and LG CU500. Cingular is powering the video service with RealNetwork Inc.'s Helix OnlineTV platform, supporting the RealAudio and RealVideo formats. CTAM, CableLabs offer OCAP primerIf middleware is Greek to you, here's your chance to learn the language of OCAP. CableLabs and the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing (CTAM) have launched a free online guide to the OpenCable Application Platform, a specified middleware for OpenCable "hosts" such as digital set-tops and televisions. "The OCAP Primer" covers the basics of the middleware, devices that can support it, and the business "value proposition" OCAP presents. CableLabs and CTAM commissioned the work, which was developed by Interactive TV Works Inc. Heard On The 'Net IN2TV in betaPali Research Analyst Richard Greenfield issued a note last week alerting us that AOL's recently announced plans for IN2TV service has reached the beta phase with 13 Internet-based "channels." It's available only to paid AOL subs at http://beta.aol.com. Being one, I can't resist the temptation to try it out. I'll report my findings in next week's issue, but just moments ago I did catch the few opening minutes of the pilot episode of Alice on the service and it didn't look bad in a small window. Greenfield, meanwhile, views IN2TV "as a great example of how new distribution platforms are increasing the value (and extending the life) of content/programming. While it is far too early to judge the success/failure of IN2TV, it is a great example of how the Internet is enabling yet another distribution window for content." His hope is that AOL moves beyond its five levels of streaming bit rate options (28 kbps to 700 kbps, presently) to something on the order of 1-2 Mbps. Amazon.com joining the video game?Amazon.com is reportedly holding discussion with some Hollywood studios with the intention of moving forward with a movie download service. Last week, The New York Times said the "advanced negotiations" are with Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios and Warner Bros, but did not reference a possible service launch timeframe. Such a service would pit Amazon.com against the studio-backed Movielink service and possibly with Apple iTunes, which is dabbling in television content but has yet to announce an expected movie service.
