Way back in July of last year, Rdio was the first of the streaming services to debut a native iPad app. Since then, they've continued to build their mobile offerings, and today they've debuted a completely revamped Android application, mirroring most of the functionality of their desktop and browser-based interfaces in a pocket-friendly package. And it'll even run under Ice Cream Sandwich.
I got to spend some time over the weekend playing around with a preview version of the new app (a free download, bur requires a $9.99/month Premium subscription for continued use), and we'll go out on a limb and say that if you're an Android-owning Rdio fan (or perhaps any sort of streaming-music contrarian) you'll likely be pleased with the new version. It's compatible with Android builds from 2.1 up to and including ICS, so you cutting-edge folks should be happy with it as well.
The previous incarnation of Rdio for Android was a bare-bones affair, and this build introduces most of what makes the service fun to use on the desktop. I was most pleased to find that Collections are now accessible on the go (rather than relying solely on a "playlist" organizational metaphor like its competitor services, Rdio lets you bookmark albums in its library; giving you quick access to what amounts to an old-school record collection). This is convenient when using offline Sync — you can (well, Premium subscribers can) freely sync tracks for offline mobile playback — since it cuts down a bit on the advance planning you'll want to do if you're interested in taking a chunk of Rdio's 12+ million song library with you to your favorite off-grid location.
Also new in the mobile app are the surprisingly deep new-release charts (Rdio's especially nice in this respect, maintaining a far more extensive list of indie and obscure titles appearing each week). Recommendations (based on your listening history, and pretty well targeted, in my experience) are now available, along with a rolling list of what your social connections are listening to (which I find far more useful than Spotify's Feed). It's a very complete collection of features and certainly comparable with the offerings from the other major services. Search works well, and quickly, and having access to your personal listening history is a nice touch, especially if your memory's a bit addled for whatever reason.
Overall functionality over Wi-Fi and 4G is about on par with the Spotify Android app — Rdio's a bit more stable than Spotify (at least on the HTC device I tested with), though tracks load a bit more slowly. It's a solid piece of Android coding, so far as I can tell.
There are, of course, a few areas where improvements would be welcome. Once you've begun playing an album, there's no simple way to click back through to an artist's homepage — returning to a list of other available albums and tracks requires heading all the way back to the homepage. I'd love to be able to click back to artist info via the artist's name (a la Spotify) wherever I found myself in the app. Perhaps licensing and patent issues prevent other services from adopting this interface element, but it'd be nice to see a creative equivalent. Also, as is the case in the Rdio iPad app we examined, it's not possible to view network activity for a particular track or album — a really nice social discovery feature that's present in the desktop version of the app, and would be particularly useful in the more click-challenged mobile environment.
But these are small points. As I said above, if you're an Rdio subscriber, there's no reason not to upgrade — you'll appreciate the more desktop-like functionality. And if you've been considering Rdio, the app comes with a 7-day trial subscription, so there's no reason not to give it a fair shake.
The scoop on the very newest gear, tech, and apps, whether it's straight from the rumor mill or fresh out of the box.

Olympians' parents react to their kids' performances [Pictures]
It must be hard to be the mother or father of an Olympic athlete. Only watching, having no control, and, unless you're a coach, having to be up in the stands instead of down on the floor or by the pool with them. As you might imagine, the facial expressions that result are heartfelt -- and often priceless.

Open Source Software
One of the critical ways in which PTI and IU impacts and enables scientific research at IU, in the State of Indiana, and the nation as a whole through the distribution of open source software. Such software also aids the development of the Indiana economy. These open source software products often are used to the benefit of the private sector in Indiana and the nation as a whole. The production of open source software also enhances IU's competitiveness for federal grant funding, aiding PTI and IU in bringing competitively awarded federal research monies into Indiana and creating new high quality jobs in Indiana.
The production of open source software also enhances the value of Indiana University's scholarly output, since the use of open source software facilitates reproduce ability and testability of scientific research.

CLEARFIELD, Utah (AP) — When you see Tara and Mark Garner holding onto each other while shopping in the grocery store, you get the idea that they are so in love.
And they are.
But their grasp is about coping with a condition that sometimes keeps Tara Garner off balance. She has a rare neurological disorder called Mal de Debarquement Syndrome (MdDS).
The disorder causes the balancing mechanism in the brain to be off, resulting in a feeling of constant motion and lack of coordination, difficulty hearing and concentrating, and an inability to see properly under certain lighting conditions.
"I have a lot of ringing in my ears all the time and have lost a lot of hearing," Tara Garner, 47, told the Standard-Examiner (http://bit.ly/W4PPc4).
"I feel like I'm walking on water all the time," she said." I have a lot of insomnia because it's so hard to get to sleep when the bed feels like it's being tossed around in the ocean and you feel like you are going to roll out of the bed."
She said every aspect of her life is affected by her condition.
A certified nurse's assistant at Davis Hospital and Medical Center in Layton, Garner had to cut back on her work hours and frequently calls in sick. And she has to stay away from crowds, including family activities where there's a lot of movement and bright or dim lights.
Garner said she contracted the disorder in late March while flying from San Francisco to Los Angeles. She describes her condition as much like the feeling of being in an airplane, with the same bobbing and vibrating that passengers feel.
Garner said she has learned about others who have contracted the disorder from traveling on cruise ships.
Of the two other women her doctor has treated with this problem, both got over it, she said.
But she said a man her doctor treated who had contracted the disorder in an airplane never got better.
"It seems that if you get it from an airplane, it's harder to get over," Garner said.
According to information posted by the Hearing Research Association, the disorder is most common among women between the ages of 40 and 50 and is most often contracted on cruises lasting at least seven days.
The research cited by the association states that most people who get MdDS recover within a month, but a limited few have suffered for 10 years or more.
There is no research that pinpoints exactly why some people's brains get the condition, but it could be related to hormones, the research states.
Garner said her condition is rare. Only about 400 people are members of a worldwide support group she is in.
She looks back to the moment her life changed. She felt ill immediately after she got off the plane but thought it would correct itself.
But as time went on, she only felt worse.
"As soon as we landed, I knew I felt a little different, but I couldn't put a finger on it," she said.
"As the days went on, I kept getting more and more symptoms. They just kept coming, one by one by one."
Garner wanted her story to be told because she wants people to understand her suffering and she wants to help anyone who has the condition who hasn't been properly diagnosed.
She also wants to encourage research into finding a cure and believes her case offers its share of lessons for those who study the disorder.
Garner said some of her symptoms are easier to live with when she takes medication.
But she also has been told that using medication may lessen the chances of her brain correcting itself.
"They say if it doesn't go away in a year, it probably never will," she said, adding that if the condition does go into remission, the chances of recurrence if she ever flies again are high.
For now, she said, her only real hope is to wait and see.
Her husband's support has been invaluable. Garner said Mark has had to dramatically change his own schedule to take care of her and to provide her with transportation.
"I love her and I want to make things as good as I can for her," Mark Garner said of his wife.

Mayor Dale Fortenberry tells the Daily Corinthian that he and the aldermen — who Fortenberry says were all elected as independents — had talked about joining the Republican Party for a long time. There is no party registration in Mississippi.
During Wednesday's announcement at the city hall, Fortenberry described himself and the five aldermen as "country boys" whose lives and morals are influenced by their upbringing.
Farmington officials present for the ceremony included the mayor, aldermen Lowell Gann, Mac Grisham and Bill Hebert and Police Chief Anthony Holmes. Fortenberry says aldermen Johnny Potts and Ernest Cole were not present, but both are included in the party change.

I hate Lisa G with all my heart. Benji too. Oh god I hate her! Sorry for my outburst but I hate her.
Are you really discussing the show's intended talking points?
How about that wacky guy Medicated Pete, huh? What a weirdo!
Lisa G. would throw Beth in an oven and eat that bitch for dinner if it meant ending up with Howard!
So, Howard and Beth invite her over and get her topless for "self art set".
Jon Hein is God is Lord over the Saloon.
Well, she looks like a man and has cutlets between her legs so maybe Howard would go for her.
Howard craves a big thick cock in his asshole so she better learn how to use a strap-on.

Renault's European fix in danger as Russian growth slows
Russia's growth may stall this year, keeping buyers out of showrooms like this Lada dealer in St. Petersburg. Photo credit: Reuters |
PARIS/MOSCOW (Bloomberg) -- Russia's car market is forecast to slow and possibly decline this year, ending a three-year streak of gains of more than 10 percent and damping market leader Renault's efforts to offset slumping demand in Europe.
Renault, which controls Russian brand Lada, was banking on growth in the country after suffering the worst sales decline in Europe last year. With inflation reaching 6.6 percent in Russia in 2012 and interest rates rising, those plans may be dashed.
The Russian car market, which is projected to surpass Germany in volume by 2014, has risen to prominence as a developing middle class and vast expanses promise growth. The prospects prompted Renault, Volkswagen Group, Ford Motor Co. and other carmakers to expand capacity.
General Motors Co. and Russian partner GAZ Group started ramping up production this week of 30,000 Chevrolet Aveos a year, adding more cars jostling for share.
"It's a very competitive market," said GAZ CEO Bo Andersson. "There are more than 500 models you can buy. Swedish people like station wagons; in the U.S., people like pickups, SUVs or sedans. Here, people like everything."
The country was once a backwater for the auto industry. Lada's parent AvtoVAZ was kept afloat by government handouts in the early 1990s after communism's collapse. Production was maintained by trading finished cars for parts from suppliers or food and clothing for workers.
By 2008, AvtoVAZ was a prized asset, with Renault beating out GM and Fiat for a 25 percent stake. The French carmaker and alliance partner Nissan Motor Co. have since agreed to a deal that will give them control of 74.5 percent of the Lada maker.
Volatile market
VW and Ford each run factories capable of producing more than 100,000 vehicles and signed agreements in 2011 to expand. Still, the market is volatile, suffering a 49 percent plunge in 2009 before rebounding over the past three years. Russian car sales this year are forecast to edge up 2.3 percent after an 11 percent increase to 2.98 million cars and light commercial vehicles in 2012, according to IHS Automotive.
A survey by Russia's Association of European Businesses resulted in a range of expectations between a decline of 5 percent and a gain of 5 percent. "The outlook for the market in 2013 holds little promise for a quick return to growth at the double-digit rates enjoyed in recent years," said Joerg Schreiber, chairman of AEB's auto manufacturers committee.
Russia push
The Renault-Nissan-Lada group increased 2012 sales 1 percent to 890,433 vehicles as the Renault brand's 23 percent surge helped offset a 7 percent decline for Lada. The French carmaker's sales of 189,852 cars in Russia last year amounted to 7.3 percent of its global deliveries. The performance in Russia contrasted with Renault's 19 percent plunge to 1.05 million cars in Europe, where industrywide sales fell 7.8 percent. Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn has said the European market may fall 3 percent in 2013 in its sixth straight annual decline.
"Russia is among Renault's top markets in terms of profitability," with margins in the 5 percent to 7 percent range, said Florent Couvreur, an analyst at CM-CIC Securities. "A slowdown of the market would have an impact on its activity there."
Nissan slows production
The demand drop led Nissan to announce plans to suspend production at its factory in St. Petersburg tomorrow. The Japanese carmaker said last month it may shift to a four-day work week until mid-March. That could take the Renault-Nissan alliance further away from its goal of raising combined market share in Russia to 40 percent by 2015 after falling to 30 percent last year from 33 percent.
The economy's growth dipped to 3.4 percent last year from 4.3 percent in 2011, its slowest pace since 2009 and missing government targets. Weighing on growth, loan rates have surged to about 10 percent, squeezing average consumers. "If I cannot give my people competitive interest rates, they cannot buy houses, they cannot buy my products," said Siegfried Wolf, chairman of OAO Russian Machines, which controls GM partner GAZ.
Squeezing consumers
Eugene Moiseev can attest to that. "I'm considering using public transport instead of my car" to save money and avoid overcrowded streets, said Moiseev, a 32-year-old newspaper editor from the Moscow region, who owns a 2011 Audi Q5. "Gasoline prices rose too far. In addition, new cars became groundlessly too expensive. A new car purchase is not on the agenda."
Renault said it is taking the downturn in stride. "We're still very confident that the Russian market is structurally on an upward trend," Bruno Ancelin, head of Renault's Russian operations, said in an interview. "The purchasing power of Russian households is still improving." Renault plans to proceed with the start of production of one of its models at AvtoVAZ's factory in Togliatti in the second half of 2013, the automaker said.
Growth potential
There's still plenty of potential for growth in Russia. Ownership rates were 233 vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants in 2009, compared with 500 in Germany and 600 in the U.S., according to the World Bank. The car fleet is also aging, with vehicles averaging more than 10 years on the road, said Tatyana Lukhovetskaya, chief managing director of Rolf, one of Russia's largest auto dealers. Still, the allure of cars isn't quite what it was.
"Cars in Russia were long regarded as an investment opportunity," said Vladimir Bespalov, an analyst at Moscow-based VTB Capital. "Now, given the stabilized bank system, people tend to switch their savings to banks rather than spending it on a new car."
Renault is forecast to have posted an operating profit margin of 1.7 percent for 2012, according to analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The company is scheduled to report 2012 earnings on Feb. 14.
Renault shares are up 8 percent this year, valuing the company at 13 billion euros ($17.6 billion).

Edinburgh director of rugby Michael Bradley admits that he is feeling the pressure after his team's poor start to the season.
They go into Friday's PRO12 clash with the Scarlets at Murrayfield on the back of successive Heineken defeats to Saracens and Munster in which they conceded 78 points to nil.
And prior to that they also lost three PRO12 matches on the trot against Leinster, the Dragons and Treviso.
Bradley is aware that the losing streak has to end soon to ease the pressure on him.
"As the head coach I do feel pressure at the moment but I take solace in the fact that I believe in this squad," he told Scotland's STV television network.
"I believe in their character and I believe in the management that we have.
"I'm quite willing to take the pressure until we produce what we can produce."
He said it was crucial for the team to beat the Scarlets and to then build on that result.
"It's difficult for everybody to handle defeats on the bounce like that," explained Bradley.
"The process is to find out why this has happened and then making sure it doesn't happen again.
"It's about continuous improvement, continuous investigation into what's going on.
"We need to get a win very quickly and that'll break the series of losses but still understand we haven't done out work correctly in previous weeks."

"Hi, honey!" Craig was surprised to see his wife so energetic. He set his things down and I got busy making our cocktails. Now, to rub a little fresh lime around the rim of a glass... dip the glass around some coarse salt and set those aside to dry. Add the juices and lots of ice and puree it in the blender.
VERDICT: "Thank God It's Friday"! It's a nice cocktail, but it needed a little bit more of something. (The grapefruits weren't as sweet as I expected.) I added a couple Tablespoons of sugar (simple syrup would work well, too) extra ice and it was perfect. This makes 8 servings. I froze half of this. The next day, it was added to a blender with some ice and it was just as good! (A printable recipe is at the bottom of this post.)

Mama's words stung.
"Just because you went to the show and watched another old scary movie, don't think you can jump into our bed in the middle of the night."
I understood the message loud and clear as I crawled back into my own bed after having watched a Wolfman movie at the Midway picture show earlier that day.
And what a glorious screen gem it was!
These days, we don't do very much advanced planning for an automobile trip. The Evanses just jump in the car and go.
But, if the destination is new, we get out a road atlas or let the computer map it out for us in great detail.
As a youngster, I didn't get to tag along on very many road adventures. Places like Ridgeway, Winnsboro or Charlotte were just about the only places of interest we visited. Those trips were mostly to shop for seasonal clothing or to check on relatives.
However, I do recall one trip to Tampa to visit Momma's brothers.
Last February, I turned 12 years old and as a result, I joined the Boy Scouts.
I was growing up and I was lucky in more ways than one. Talk about a dream come true –Momma just about cleaned out the "Official Boy Scout Headquarters" equipment section inside Robinson-Cloud's clothing store on Main Street to get me the latest in Scout accoutrements.
I was really amazed by all that stuff.
I had been hankering for Boy Scout gear ever since I was a Cub Scout in Mrs. Ellie Pipkin's Cub Scout Pack, where she was our den mother.
Do you remember Billy Batson? Gosh, a heap of us fellas were envious of his super powers.
All little Billy had to do was utter one word – "Shazam" – to turn into the action hero, Captain Marvel.
Captain Marvel was something else; he could do just about everything Superman could do, and he did it in a much flashier outfit.
It was a big event each month whenever the Marvel and DC Comics "funny books" hit the newsstand racks at the drugstores and at the Greyhound Bus Station.
Guess what? It snowed this week. It rained, too.
Just a few weeks ago, you were moping your weary brow and gnashing your teeth while wishing for a little cooler weather.
Are you happy now? Not me.
You know, I don't really care much for icy, cold winter weather. I'd just as soon have the hardwood leaves remain green and attached to the trees year-round.
But sitting around watching the newscasts inside a warm house made me do a little thinking.
Those of us who have managed to hang on for a number of winters have seen great strides in home heating.
All it takes is one good day to make up for a bunch of bad ones.
It had been raining for several days and then freezing over during the nighttime. Water pipes were bursting all over town.
Older homes – not built in the days of running water – had been updated with the plumbing running along the outside.
During cold snaps, we had to "draw off" a supply before dark and then turn the water off.
Resolutions always come about from revelations. You know, it never fails.
Whenever a new year dawns and we get to studying about ourselves, trying to figure whether lifestyle changes are needed, that's a revelation.
All those plans and promises to do better are just resolutions. Revelations don't come into play until you resolve to do better.
Take "Little Bill," for instance.
Every year, when Christmas was over and school started back, I resolved to study more, mainly because teachers had six weeks worth of tests lined up.
My goodness, Christmas seemed to slip in on us and now we are facing a brand new year.
I seriously doubt if the Evans household will splurge on any extravagance celebration to welcome in 2008. We will face it with a month- old great-grandson who has no idea what may lie ahead.
Two events of major concern for us are paying property taxes by Jan. 15 and celebrating my 75th birthday in February.
That's as good a reason as any (not the taxes) to pause and look at New Year's past.
Most folks picture Christmas in many ways.
Families gather around a roaring fire with a glittering Christmas tree shining in the background and brightly colored packages scattered around it.
I remember a lot of Christmas celebrations just like that.
But there was a very special one that was as pretty to me as a Norman Rockwell painting, thanks to the generosity of a man on a Christmas Eve long ago.
During those lean years of the Depression, Christmas was sad for folks who couldn't afford to give the smallest of presents to their children.
You know, I used to think we did a pretty good job decorating for the Christmas season.
Of course, we didn't have inflatable snowmen or Santa's out in the yard. Reindeer with bobbing heads didn't grace the front of our house.
There were no icicles hung from porch overhangs, nor blinking lights transforming to rows of running lights adorning the banisters.
I guess we didn't do up Christmas very well.

About Journey
The pioneers that brought you the award-winning PlayStation Network titles flOw & Flower are back with another title that challenges traditional gaming conventions. With Journey, thatgamecompany (TGC) continues its tradition of delivering simple gameplay and accessible controls in a rich interactive environment that invites players to explore and experience emotional chords that are still uncommon in videogames. An exotic adventure with a more serious tone, Journey presents a unique vision of an online adventure experience. Awakening in an unknown world, the player walks, glides, and flies through a vast and awe-inspiring landscape, while discovering the history of an ancient, mysterious civilization along the way. Journey's innovative approach to online play encourages players to explore this environment with strangers who cross their path from time to time. By traveling together, they can re-shape the experience -- creating authentic moments they will remember and discuss with others.

Miss out on Journey, and you'll deny yourself one of the greatest gaming experiences on any platform to date.
We like
- Breathtaking atmosphere
- Fun and addictive gameplay
- Great production values
We dislike
- A little on the short side (it took us only 3 hours to beat)
See PSU's review on Metacritic & GameRankings
I always find it difficult to explain Journey with words. When I first received my copy, I tried to explain to one of my friends what game I was reviewing, and sometimes words just aren't enough. I think that is so true with Journey -- you have to experience it for yourself. On that note, here is my feeble attempt to extol the virtues of this atmospheric, rousing adventure. Developed by thatgamecompany, Journey casts...

After the release of the Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver games, I decided to dig through internet videos to find old TV commercials of the older games. Boy did I nostalgia at some of these! The range of these videos range from 1998 to 2000 covering all of the games from Red/Blue to Chrystal version. I highly doubt I found all of them, but I thought I'd share what I've found. Video sources: Youtube Retrojunk (great site btw) NOTE: Some of the clips abruptly end due to recording problems of older tapes. While this sucks, they were much better when compared to other clips I found that had pretty shitty sound quality.
