Jolla signs deal to bring future MeeGo handsets to Chinese retailer D.Phone

With only vague plans for two new Meego smartphones and a loose commitment from Nokia in its pocket, nervy startup Jolla went ahead and signed its first sales channel -- Chinese retailer D.Phone. The company made the announcement by Twitter, since it doesn't even have a website yet, calling itself a "rising smartphone product company," and saying that it will use D.Phone's 2,000 stores to sell the as-yet nonexistent handsets to Chinese consumers. It also confirmed that the first device would launch later this year featuring a fresh version of MeeGo, though the company didn't discuss dates or any new features that the new OS version might pack. For a mobile platform that was on death's door, it may have just been gifted a possible reprieve -- provided Jolla can build phones to match its ambitious plans.

Lexar XQD memory cards announced, will duel with Sony for Nikon D4's attention

Nikon's D4 is currently the only belle at the XQD ball, and until now, Sony was its only memory suitor. However, Lexar's just arrived with a new line of cards to compete for the D4's affections. The Fremont-based company says it collaborated with Nikon to build the PCI Express-based memory, and that they'll hit the market sometime in the third quarter of 2012 -- with no mention of specs or prices so far. Unfortunately, that means we don't know how Lexar's offerings will stack up against Sony's H-series or S-series cards already on the market. That said, while you wait for more details about Lexar's new cards, feel free to check out the lovely data the D4 will be putting on 'em when they arrive.

Afghanistan wedding suicide bomb kills 20 people

Kabul?-?A well-known Afghan politician and at least 20 other people were killed on Saturday in a suicide attack in the northern province of Samangan, local police said.

Ahmad Khan Samangani was attending the wedding party of his daughter in Aybak, the provincial capital, when the blast occurred.

The attacker, posing as a guest, greeted Samangani before detonating his explosives, a witness said.

Samangani, an ethnic Uzbek, was a key military commander and a Member of Parliament.

He was known as a supporter of President Hamid Karzai and a rival of Gen Abdul Rashid Dostum, a former regional civil war commander in northern Afghanistan and currently one of the country's most prominent Uzbek politicians.

In addition to those killed, more than 40 other people were wounded in the attack, police said.

Ghulam Mohammad Khan, the criminal director of the provincial police, told Associated Press that the dead included a senior Afghan National Army commander and the provincial intelligence chief.

A senior police commander related to Samangani was among those injured.

The attack comes a day after a prominent female Afghan politician was killed in a bomb attack in eastern Laghman province.

The politician, Hanifa Safi, was the provincial head of the Afghan ministry of women's affairs and was known as a leading advocate of fair treatment for women.

The Twist Of Fate *PRP with Tom Ice* ((CLOSED))

After a few years in which an ancient awakened djinn species is at war with humankind, the first ever djinn is captured by a human; both teenagers accidentally caught in the war, so the human takes to harboring the djinn. This results in having to learn to communicate with the djinn and having to escape authorities once they find out that the djinn is living with the teenager, as well as having to escape the authorities of the war who come looking for the djinn and getting the djinn and human to share a mutual trust, and perhaps the first inter-species romance. ((I'd prefer to play the djinn since I have a lot of ideas for it, but whatevs is cool.))

Sony Xperia Play XDark ICS ROM brings full touchpad support

You may remember that Sony knocked the wind out of Xperia Play users? sails when it broke news that Android Ice Cream Sandwich wouldn?t be coming to the company?s mobile gamer-friendly smartphone, but that hasn?t stopped the community coming up with their own solutions. The XDark ICS ROM has been attracting a lot of attention, thanks to its inclusion of touchpad support.

XDA Developer user XDarkMario was unsatisfied with the current crop of ICS ROMs available for his Play, he?s created the XDark ICS ROM. Based on Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3, this ROM is gaining great popularity for its stability when gaming and its inclusion of full touchpad support, something lacking on numerous other ROMs but oh so important to the unique hardware controls of the Xperia Play. The ROM has been tested on gaming titles such as 9mm, Assassins Creed, Dead Space and N.O.V.A. 3. The ROM also features a port of Sony?s xLoud engine, some of the latest Sony widgets and wallpapers and includes handy features such as hardware controlled screenshot.

It's been a rocky year for Xperia Play owners. Sony initially promised and then had to retract said promise of bringing Android Ice Cream Sandwich to all of its 2011 devices. After significant testing and trouble expressed by game developers, the company decided that the Xperia Play just wasn?t up to the task of running both ICS and maintaining an enjoyable user experience, gaming or otherwise. Although the decision was stated as for the benefit of the device and its users, many Xperia Play owners were outraged, having felt as if they?d been lied to and tricked into buying an inferior device, especially after the significant marketing campaign the Play enjoyed. Sony did later release the ICS beta, enabling devs like XDarkMario to continue developing for the Play.

Although XDarkMario says version 0.2 is on the way, the current build is available to download here, provided your Xperia Play?s bootloader is unlocked.

BEIJING (AP) ? China's economy faces "huge pressure" to slow further despite stimulus measures, Premier Wen Jiabao said Sunday, damping hopes for a quick recovery from the deepest slump since the 2008 global financial crisis.

Companies and investors are closely watching the world's second-largest economy for signs of a further slowdown which could have global repercussions by hurting Chinese demand for goods from the United States, Europe and other struggling economies.

"The economy is running at a generally stable pace, but there is still huge pressure for it to go downward," the official Xinhua News Agency paraphrased Wen, the country's top economic official, as saying during a weekend visit to eastern China.

The government has cut interest rates twice in a month, reduced gasoline prices and promised more spending on low-cost housing and other public works to revive growth that fell to a nearly three-year low of 8.1 percent in the first quarter.

Despite that, forecasters expect data due out this week to show that growth fell as low as 7.3 percent in the second quarter.

The slowdown raises the risk of job losses and unrest at a politically awkward time for the ruling Communist Party. It is trying to enforce calm ahead of a once-a-decade handover of power to younger leaders.

In his weekend remarks, Wen said government measures to boost economic growth were showing results, Xinhua reported. "The economic slowdown is tending toward stability," Xinhua paraphrased him as saying.

The government is trying to reduce reliance on exports and investments to drive growth by boosting domestic consumption. Wen said that is Beijing's "fundamental standpoint" to improve the economy.

He said the government also is trying to diversify and promote stable export growth. The government has set a 10 percent growth target this year for trade, which the Commerce Ministry has said is achievable, barring unexpected setbacks in Europe or elsewhere.

Wen promised to "fine-tune economic policies," according to Xinhua, but no details or new initiatives were reported. He said the government will press ahead with changes in the tax system that should reduce the burden on many taxpayers, but gave no timetable.

On the same visit, Wen also vowed that the recent interest rate cut aimed at stimulating economic growth will not ignite a new bout of real estate speculation that would push up housing costs, state media said.

Wen ordered local officials on Saturday to enforce rules aimed at cooling a surge in housing prices and called for those who tried to evade curbs to be punished, Xinhua reported.

Wen also called for faster construction of affordable housing, saying that local authorities should facilitate the approval of land and improve the quality of construction by inviting all types of investors to participate in projects, Xinhua said.

Wen said regulation of the housing market is still at a "critical moment" and described the task as "tough," it said. The measures to control the market include limits on home purchases and high down payments to qualify for mortgages.

The controls have helped push prices slightly lower over the past year but they remain near record-high levels. A nine-month decline ended in June, when the average home price in 100 major cities rose 0.05 percent from a month earlier, Xinhua reported, citing data from the China Index Academy.

Surging housing costs have fueled political tensions. The rise in real estate prices was driven in part by a large amount of government stimulus spending and bank lending pumped into the economy after the 2008 crisis.

On Thursday, China's central bank cut the interest rate on one-year loans by 0.31 percentage points to 6 percent. It said banks will be allowed to offer discounts to borrowers of up to 30 percent below that benchmark, an increase from the 20 percent discount previously allowed.

In an unusual step, the central bank also called on banks to control mortgage lending. That suggested authorities are worried about a possible resurgence in real estate speculation as they try to stimulate industrial activity and job creation.

FDA unveils safety measures for opioid painkillers

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Drugmakers that market powerful painkiller medications will be required to train U.S. doctors, nurses and other health professionals in the safe use of the drugs, which are blamed for thousands of fatal overdoses each year.

The safety plan released by the Food and Drug Administration on Monday is designed to reduce misuse and abuse of long-acting opioid pain relievers, which include forms of morphine, methadone and oxycodone. The agency's plan mainly involves educating doctors and patients about appropriate use of the drugs.

The FDA has issued a number of warnings on prescription pain relievers in recent years but with little effect. Inappropriate use of the drugs caused nearly 342,000 emergency department visits in 2009, according to government figures. The drugs were blamed for 16,000 deaths that year, up from 14,800 in 2008.

The FDA said drug companies that sell the drugs must provide two to three hours of training to prescribers, either for free or for a small fee. The agency wants companies to train at least 60 percent of the 320,000 U.S. prescribers of the drugs within three years of launching the education programs.

The programs, which will be vetted by FDA regulators, must be available by March 2013.

In addition to training, drugmakers will be required to distribute safety brochures to patients explaining the risks of the drugs and instructions to seek emergency care in event of an overdose.

The FDA spent more than three years developing the so-called risk management plans for the drugs, with input from industry and health care professionals.

Some health care experts stressed that training should be required for all prescribers. But FDA officials said the programs will be optional for now because making them mandatory would require a new law by Congress.

The new FDA plan covers about 30 opioid drugs, including Purdue Pharma's OxyContin, Johnson & Johnson's Duragesic patch and Pfizer's Embeda. Opioids are drugs that simulate the effects of natural narcotics, such as the opium poppy. They are typically prescribed for people already taking pain medications, including cancer patients, to treat severe pain flare-ups.

The products targeted by the FDA feature extended-release formulations designed to give long-lasting effects. But that potency carries serious risks when doctors prescribe them inappropriately, and when patients abuse them as stimulants.

The FDA reports that many physicians prescribe the painkillers for patients with migraine headaches, an unapproved use. Patients will also sometimes chew extended-release pills that are designed to be swallowed, causing an overdose.

I was good at programming back in high school, and nearly followed that career path, but things got in the way. Now I can still understand how programming logic works, but I can't remember any actual code beyond IF THEN ELSE. Has anyone out there taken up programming for the first time as an adult? Or forgotten it then taken it up again? Was it tricky, or do you think I'd find it as easy as I did when I was young? I mean, I have tried to learn other languages (e.g. Spanish, Portuguese) recently and really struggled, even though I was good at learning French in high school. I'm hoping this is completely different, more like riding a bike. I think there's other threads on here about which languages are good to learn, but feel free to suggest something if you like. I don't have any specific career goals in mind or anything, it's just something I'm thinking about pursuing. Cheers

At 33, I took a break for a year and half to pursue post-grad studies (philosophy, not computer science) and had to relearn the particular language I was using at work afterwards. It took a while to relearn (hmmm, it was a rather complex language), but programming has been one of my special interests. In my own programming time, I keep trying to do the same things over and over, gradually improving, but never fully succeeding (perseveration?). I am really interested in simple compilers and simple operating systems, so I keep thinking up designs and ideas, starting on them, running out steam when they get too complicated, putting them aside, then getting a new idea a while later... Learning a foreign language is harder, in my opinion. I taught myself to be a lot more fluent in another language by reading (of all things) the early Harry Potter books in translation. Got some funny looks on the train, but my language skills improved markedly. Still, I am not really fluent. And some of my vocabulary skills are really "useful" (like, I know the words for wand and potions). Programming languages are simpler and much more regular than natural languages. So they should be easier to learn. As it happens, I originally learned Basic, and these days do a lot of programming in PHP (dynamic web pages). My "core" language is C. I would not necessarily recommend any of these languages as a first language, though. Java is not too bad a choice - it is in many ways a "clean" language - it does not teach you too many bad habits (unlike Basic and PHP). Java does have a huge library of classes in which you can feel a little overwhelmed, but a good tutorial book will prevent that.

A programmer becomes good, not by knowing all the intricacies of a single language, but by becoming familiar with the concepts that are common to all forms of programming, regardless of the language. In fact the more languages you learn, even to just a basic level, the more concepts you come across, and the more methods you will be familiar with which to solve problems. With many languages having a focus on solving certain tasks, knowing several provides insight into solutions that wouldn't be apparent to someone who only knew one language. Similarly, learning from several people is better than learning from just one source. Excessively formal education of programming doesn't give you access to code examples from many different programmers, and will limit you. You can learn early on by reading other people's code, then adapting it and fixing it. Instead of having a specific problem defined, and then the whole of a solution set out in a textbook, go out and find a problem, and attempt to solve it. Then attempt to improve on the solution, several times if necessary. What you need to do with your computer is set up an environment on it, where you can find problems to solve, and probably one of the best ways is to set up a web server, and then use programming in web design. That will give you something to use Python (PHP, Java, PERL, Ruby, etc.) on, as well as the slightly more accessable Javascript (it could also give you access to database programming which is a great skill to have, seeing as a lot of programming is all about manipulating data). Another way is to play some computer games. MMORPG games like WoW and Rift allow players to customise the user interface by writing addon programs. These can be incredibly simple, and in the case of WoW are sometime only slightly more complicated than the macros used by most non-programming players. You don't need to subscribe to either of those games, as they have unlimited duration trials. WoW has a huge amount of quality documentation on writing addons, as well as a massive library of other people's addons that you can look at, over at wow.curse.com, and while Rift, being newer, has slightly less documentation, it's made quite a few improvements over WoW in it's Addon system, that make it easier to use, if not as easy to find some kinds of information. The language used by both games for their Addons is Lua, and after programming BASIC (spectrum 48k, BBC Micro, and QBASIC under DOS), Javascript, PERL, Python, PHP, and even assembly language (PIC microcontrollers), it's easily my favorite language to use. Python comes joint second because it too is relatively easy to learn and use, alongside PIC assembly language, because although it's something most coders these days wouldn't dream of doing, on account of the language and concepts being so far removed from what a lot of them expect from a language, there's nothing like coding as close to the hardware as possible to learn how to optimise your code. _________________ You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.

Verizon Galaxy S III has locked bootloader (but it's been rooted anyway)

Based on Samsung's hacker-friendly track record, you'd generally expect one of it smartphones to come with an unlocked bootloader, making it easy to update or tweak with unofficial ROMs. That's not the case with Verizon's imminent version of the Galaxy S III, however. As the folk at XDA know only too well, this particular iteration of Sammy's flagship comes with a sealed bootloader, which makes it resistant (though not impervious) to hackery.

Of course, Sammy has nothing to gain from snubbing the modding community in this way, so it stands to reason that VZW pushed the Korean manufacturer to supply them with a locked bootloader -- despite the fact that all other variants have been left open. We've reached out to Big Red for comment, but in the meantime a clever soul over at Rootzwiki claims they've already found a workaround for root access. (At this point, though, we'd better provide our usual disclaimer: be very careful before you poke around in there, because going up against a locked bootloader can be risky. The apparent safety of modern life is just a shallow skin atop an ocean of blood, guts and bricked devices.)

Changing Diets.......... - Health, Fitness, and Sports - Wrong Planet

GoonSquad Sentenced to life, without possibility... Joined: May 12, 2007 Age: 42 Posts: 2712 Location: Boston.... Mountains ;) Posted: Sat Jul 07, 2012 9:47 pm?? ?Post subject: Changing Diets.......... About a year ago I adopted a version of the Mediterranean diet for two reasons. First, I wanted to drop 10 lbs that I just could not seem to lose. Second, the diet was cheap! I usually ate fruit/berries with yogurt for breakfast. Lunch and dinner would be based on pasta or couscous with lots of veggies, beans, and olive oil. I would also have meat/fish/poultry 2-3 times a week. So, after a year I?m 10 lbs heavier, feeling uncomfortable in my body, and ready to try something different. Just the other day, I heard an interview on NPR with Gary Taubes concerning his book, Why We Get Fat: And What to Do About It . (easy to find on Amazon) His ideas sounded interesting, so I DL?ed the book (it?s a quick read)?. Basically, his thesis is that over eating and resultant obesity are caused by chronically elevated levels of insulin in the body which is, in turn, caused by a high-carb/low-fat diet. Taube makes a pretty convincing case, and I know from my recent, personal experience, it seems to be true? He advocates an Atkins style low-carb/high fat and protein diet. He argues that this diet is not nearly as unhealthy as has been characterized and references the recent Stanford A TO Z Diet Study to back his claims? Here?s a YouTube vid presenting the study results. It is LONG, but it?s interesting and entertaining. Anyway, I?m giving up my couscous, pasta, and (gasp) beer for a while, to give this low-carb/high fat and protein thing a try? So, I?m wondering, does anybody here have experience on this sort of diet? Or any informed thoughts/opinions on the science and health effects? _________________ The American political system has become a spectator sport for people too mean-spirited and barbaric to appreciate professional wrestling.

Anyway, I love diets like that. They're awesome. Easy to lean out on them, basically once you lean out, you can introduce some carbs back in. There's no need to be like, a carb nazi or anything like that, and be like "Uh-oh, these meatballs have bread crumbs in them!" or something, but I can say I feel pretty awesome on such diets and can lose weight pretty easily. You do gotta have a fairly high vegetable intake, though. _________________ The world would be such a better place if fish don't have bones.

Interesting. I have never tried to eat this sort of diet before. However, in my late teens to my late 20s I was a hardcore weight lifter and I did try to eat a high protein/low fat diet.... Thing is, I was getting most of my protein (not counting supplements) from animals so I was getting lots of fat too. To avoid fat I mostly avoided sweets (because that stuff usually has lots of fat too), and things like cheese and eggs.... Looking at the low-carb diet the only things different from my "low fat" diet is that I can eat cheese and eggs and I should not eat beans, rice, and pasta (which I ate in moderate amounts on my low-fat diet). In hindsight, it was probably avoiding all that sugar and eating less wheat flour that really helped me stay lean. _________________ The American political system has become a spectator sport for people too mean-spirited and barbaric to appreciate professional wrestling.

You could go full out ketosis, and never eat carbs at all, but yeah. It's better to have the animal fat, though, imo. When you see a lot of cultures and go with the argument "well they can't live entirely on meat, that'd cost too much" you gotta keep in mind, a lot of the traditional cultures rely a lot on animal fat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salo_(food) Like there's an example. You pretty much just have to think "How did people 70 years ago eat?" And look honestly there. For example, fried chicken wouldn't be anymore prevalent now or back then, but one difference is that fried chicken is always fried in vegetable oil. No veg oil except olive oil, maybe flax seed oil, etc, is actually natural. You can't get soybean and corn oil without chemicals to process it. The human metabolism hasn't really adjusted to veg oils, but it's well adjusted to animal fat. So I think going low carb is good for weight loss, but once you get to a weight you want, you can introduce SOME carbs back, but just don't go having carb based meals. And you can lose weight on any diet with portion control. http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/index.html That doesn't mean a diet is good. Also, one thing neglected is, in many Mediterranean cultures, there's lots of meat. Look at the Greeks and soulvaki. _________________ The world would be such a better place if fish don't have bones.

In his book, Taubes looks at ethnographies of various Native American cultures over many years? For instance, in the 1840s the Pima Indians lived on wild game and high fiber veggies and they were reported to be lean, healthy, and active. By the early 1900s, after decades on reservations eating government rations of flour, sugar and coffee, the same tribe was described as sluggish, obese, malnourished and unhealthy (many were diabetic). Another good nutritional ethnography is the ?Inuit Paradox.? It contrasts the traditional Inuit diet of fat and meat with their modern western diets and corresponding changes in disease patterns. @cathylynn I?m glad the med diet worked for you. If you have time you should really watch that Stanford video. Their study found that while insulin sensitive types may do well on high-carb/low-fat diets, people who are insulin resistant will do much better with high-fat/low-carbs. Also, in the study, the people on the Atkins diet had the best (most heart healthy) blood chemistry? PS The Stanford Study was conducted by a ?25-year vegetarian? who said, writing a paper that sited the Atkins Diet as being healthy and effective ?was a bitter pill to swallow.? PPS @ glasstoria The guy in the Stanford vid also warns that extremely high protien could be bad for the kidneys... The interesting thing about the study is that most people could not significantly change their protien intake alone. With all the diets, the real give and take was between fat and carbs. _________________ The American political system has become a spectator sport for people too mean-spirited and barbaric to appreciate professional wrestling.

Quote: Dr. Davis recounts an experiment he conducted on himself to compare the different impacts of ancient wheat and modern wheat on his blood sugar. He managed to find some einkorn wheat and made bread from it. Two slices of that bread raised his blood sugar from 86 mg/dl to 110. Not bad. Then he made bread from modern whole wheat ? you know, the stuff the USDA says is the key to great health. Two slices raised his blood sugar from 84 mg/dl to 167. That?s diabetes territory. As Dr. Davis writes in another chapter after explaining the specific types of carbohydrates found in wheat: Wheat products elevate blood sugar levels more than virtually any other carbohydrate, from beans to candy bars. As the graph I displayed in a previous post showed, the typical American consumes somewhere around 1,000 calories per day in the form of sugars and grains. Our dominant grain by far is wheat ? wheat that was never part of the human diet until 50 years ago. Wow indeed. ...and I've been eating couscous (literally wheat grain coated in wheat flour) two bowls a day/5 days a week for a year... _________________ The American political system has become a spectator sport for people too mean-spirited and barbaric to appreciate professional wrestling.

I just had to start working out a bit and not eating things that aren't good for my body. Different strokes for different folks I guess. BTW, I lost 40lbs in 3-4 months last year that way, with a bit of calorie restriction. Now that I'm lifting, I can't do as much calorie restriction and still maintain my sanity, so I have to find out what food my body likes and what it doesn't, and the results have been interesting. _________________ The world would be such a better place if fish don't have bones.

As well it should be, since consumption of animal products is considered by the nutritional community to be directly related to increased risks of the same dietary-related diseases which are the top killers of Americans. Now, the low carb philosophy as espoused originally by Atkins, when separated from the protein-equals-animal-products myth, is supported by pretty much every study ever done on the relationship between insulin and weight. The fact that to this day there are would-be dieters who eat processed carbs and starches constantly ("whole wheat, though!" ) despite decades of data is testament to how obsessed with wheat and sugar the Western food culture really is. "Atkins" (if we want to call it that) is extremely healthy, when the protein and fat sources are things like nuts, seeds, and legumes, as opposed to dairy, flesh, and eggs. The fact that all these things are high in protein is, in the same sense that a donut cannot be compared to an apple on no more a basis than their being starchy, quite irrelevant, nutritionally, in their effects on the human body. _________________ I edit obsessively for grammar and clarity.

I think so, but within the thread's context of weight loss, I think it's just important to remember that the low carb/high protein diet needn't be coupled with the health risks normally associated with it (due to Western false equivocation of protein with animal products). You needn't eat totally vegan to follow an Atkins-themed diet redesigned toward more plant sources. Animals are good eatin'. I can have respect for a vegan diet to a point, it's the standard of monasticism in my religion, so that says something there. But for me, everytime I've tried them, it pretty much didn't work. Also, I found out meat helps me personally, as I'm more Type II muscle fiber dominated. Type I muscle fiber is fed by glucose and is more meant for endurance, but Type II is meant for short bursts of energy, sports like shotput, weightlifting, high jumps, etc. Type II on the other hand is fueled by creatine. Where do you get creatine? Meat. Quote: In humans and animals, approximately half of stored creatine originates from food (mainly from meat). A study, involving 18 vegetarians and 24 non-vegetarians, on the effect of creatine in vegetarians showed that total creatine was significantly lower than in non-vegetarians. Since vegetables do not represent the primary source of creatine, vegetarians can be expected to show lower levels of directly derived muscle creatine. So for me, I need to eat those animals to like...not hate my life. And lift heavy things up and put them down on a regular basis. _________________ The world would be such a better place if fish don't have bones.
