Acer CloudMobile hands-on at MWC 2012 (video)

Tucked away in the dark corners of the Google booth at Mobile World Congress, amidst several miniature hubs inhabited by all types of various companies, is a stand dedicated to all things Acer. Included as part of the selection was the CloudMobile, the proud owner of a coveted iF Product Design award. So were we that impressed by its trophy-winning feature? Yes and no. It's not tough on the eyes by any stretch of the imagination, especially given its fancy textured back and curvacious construct, but we have a difficult time declaring this to feature the best design of the show, nor is it necessarily much of a ground-breaker. The build quality itself doesn't quite hold a candle to what you'll experience on something like the ceramic-like aluminum treatment used on the HTC One S, but yet doesn't feel like it will smash into a million pieces if we give it the 'ol heave-ho.

But perhaps the CloudMobile earned the honors by producing a respectable internal design: it offers a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon chipset and 4.3-inch 720p HD display, for instance, and that panel is absolutely stunning with great viewing angles. We weren't allowed to view any part of the OS beyond the lock and a couple home screens, no doubt due to the model's pre-production firmware, so we'll need to leave our impressions of the UI for another time. From what we can tell, it will definitely be offering a customized skin, though it's unclear to what extent that will shine through in the final production version, still due to come out sometime in Q3. For now, enjoy the images and video underneath.

Researchers describe link between prescription and illicit drug misuse in high-risk groups

Researchers describe link between prescription and illicit drug misuse in high-risk groups [ Back to EurekAlert! ] Public release date: 27-Feb-2012

PHILADELPHIA (February 24, 2012) A new report from researchers at the Drexel University School of Public Health identifies patterns in the misuse of illicit drugs among young adults who also misuse prescription drugs. The report, "Misuse of Prescription and Illicit Drugs among High-Risk Adults" in Los Angeles and New York, was recently published in the first issue of the Journal of Public Health Research.

This is the first report to compare patterns of prescription and illicit drug misuse among high-risk young adults who are already misusing prescription drugs. Dr. Stephen Lankenau, associate professor at Drexel and principal investigator, and colleagues, suggest that drug treatment providers should be aware of this pattern of drug use to treat their clients more effectively.

Between 2009 and 2011, Lankenau and colleagues interviewed 596 young adults between the ages of 16 and 25 in Los Angeles and New York who had misused prescription drugs within the previous 90 days. The study included interviews with three high-risk groups of young adults: injection drug users (IDUs), homeless persons and polydrug users (users who combine drugs during a drug-using event).

Results showed that participants commonly received prescriptions for opioids, tranquilizers and stimulants, prior to misusing these drugs. In addition, using prescription drugs and illicit drugs at the same time was common in both cities. Drug users tended to use an illicit drug that provided a similar effect as the prescription drug they were already misusing.

The two cities also provided contrasting drug markets, which influenced the types of drugs misused. New York participants more frequently misused oxycodone, heroin and cocaine, while Los Angeles participants more frequently misused codeine, marijuana and methamphetamine.

Last year, Lankenau and colleagues published findings about the pathway to drug misuse among a subset of this study population, which indicated that misuse of prescription opioids often preceded the use of injected drugs.

Lankenau is a sociologist who combines public health concerns and mixed-method research designs to the study of high-risk youth, out-of-treatment drug users, homelessness, and HIV/AIDS. In addition to this recent study, he is leading evaluation studies of overdose prevention programs in Los Angeles and Philadelphia to determine programs that effectively reduce the risks of fatal drug overdoses. He teaches graduate courses that apply qualitative methods to the study of public health issues. Lankenau received a Ph.D. from the University of Maryland and a postdoctoral fellowship funded by NIDA.

Oscar 2012 Best Presenters: Robert Downey Jr., Bridesmaids, More

Co-stars Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis make a hilariously musical entrance, while Sandra Bullock shows off some impressive German.
By Terri Schwartz


Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow present at the 84th annual Academy Awards
Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images

There are typically two kinds of presenters at the Oscars: the earnest and the hilarious. But every year, a handful of actors manage to capture the goal of either category in a way that makes the moment unforgettable.

On Sunday night, the Kodak Theatre saw plenty of earnest presenters. Natalie Portman, Colin Firth and Morgan Freeman reminded viewers why we love the Oscars.

But it was the presenters with the funny bits who really stole the show. Whether comparing short films to male genitalia or tossing cymbals onstage when they should have been reading out the name of an award winner, we couldn't stop chuckling. Here, the MTV Movies team handpicks the five most memorable presenters of the 2012 Oscars.

Robert Downey Jr., Documentarian
Trying to stay ahead of the curve, Robert Downey Jr. and a camera crew joined Gwyneth Paltrow onstage to present the Best Documentary award in an attempt to popularize his new art form, "live documentary." Of course, as Paltrow pointed out, that's called the news, but we couldn't get enough of their Tony Stark/ Pepper Potts-style banter several months before "The Avengers" hits theaters. And we like that Downey joked that he turned down the role in "The Descendants" with George Clooney looking on from the crowd.

Emma Stone Is Super Good
Yes, Emma Stone is charming, but we were still surprised at how well she pulled off the task of co-presenting Best Visual Effects alongside Ben Stiller. First-time Oscar presenter Stone acted out her skit flawlessly and even managed to poke fun at Stiller's previous presenting stunts in the process. But it was her asking "Superbad" co-star Jonah Hill to come onstage and dance with her — and his subsequent refusal — that made this one of the funniest moments of the night.

Sandra Bullock Is "Extremely" Bilingual
Did you know Sandra Bullock was bilingual? It certainly made her presenting the Oscar for Best Foreign Film all the more fitting. And although the actress said she was going to present the award in Mandarin, Bullock actually announced the award in German. For those who wondered about the Academy's motivation for having the "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" star present in a different language, it turns out it was because the Academy Awards "are an international show and because there are over 1.2 billion people in China." So why not?

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis Make Music
Leave it to the stars of the upcoming political comedy "The Campaign," Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis, to make one of the funniest and most dramatic appearances of the night. Dressed in all-white tuxedos, the duo emerged from the orchestra pit smashing cymbals together. Because how else do you expect comedians to present the award for Best Original Song? Fortunately, winner Bret McKenzie also had a good sense of humor in his acceptance speech for "The Muppets" song "Man or Muppet."

"Bridesmaids" Stars Toast Scorsese Again
Who else but the cast of "Bridesmaids" could make presenting the three short-film categories one of the most hilarious of the night? Sure, Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph's whole opening spiel was one big penis joke, but can you expect any less when Melissa McCarthy earned her Oscar nomination for a part that featured her comically defecating in a sink? We're still trying to figure out what the rules of Rose Byrne and McCarthy's Martin Scorsese drinking game are, but we'll let you know when we do.

Elementary Knowledge About A Healthy Diet Plan | Self ...

A diet plan is not a thing you need to rush into; you need to make proper research before you start. To start with this, you need a planner which will help you record all the activities that you need to indulge in and the kind of food categories that you need. Getting a planner requires you to get precise information which you will impute into the planner. That way you will have an already made process of food consumption that you can follow.

Now that you are about to make plans about your diet; you don?t have to worry about always eating foods that are tasteless. A healthy diet doesn?t mean tasteless food it only means eating healthy food with low calories that can be burnt. Healthy eating will not only help you lose weight it will also help to promote your immune system to withstand minor diseases that might attack your body. There is some sickness that some people would never experience if only they learn how to eat healthily.

The other basic thing about healthy diet plans is that there should be healthy carbohydrates. When cooking any meal, it is highly advisable for an individual to ensure that she has selected the healthiest carbohydrates such as brown rice and whole grain breads among others. Some other carbohydrates such white rice, white flour and white potatoes among others are considered to be bad carbohydrates and should be avoided when planning a healthy diet.

It is important to include healthy fats in the diet plans such as raw diet as well. This is because they are very important parts of your diet. At the same time, they are filling and satisfying. Stick to monounsaturated fats as they are healthy to the body and at the same time they protect the heart. In conclusion, all the good diet options are supposed to have healthy protein which can be obtained from eggs, Organic Cacao, cheese, lean meats and turkey breasts among others.

Government cannot be run like a business | The Daily Caller

Despite his big-government record as a governor, Mitt Romney has run for president as a conservative who would allow the free market to work. To bolster his credibility, he points to his success as CEO of Bain Capital. Romney led that company to become one of the largest and most successful private equity investment firms in the nation.

Many of his supporters have been able to look past the fact that he consistently raised taxes and pioneered Obamacare in Massachusetts because of this private sector success. They echo Romney?s argument that ?the government should be run like a business? and believe that only a proven, successful businessman can do the job.

There are two problems here. The first is that history has already shown that successful businessmen are terrible for the free market whenever they get anywhere near government power. The second is that government cannot be run like a business. Its very nature makes that utterly impossible.

Regarding the first problem, one need only study the 19th century. If you don?t like the progressive movement, you can thank the 19th-century Republican Party for creating the conditions that led to its birth.

The entire period is a record of big business getting together with government to intervene in the free market. Always under the pretense of protecting consumers, the true purpose of these interventions was limiting or eliminating competition for connected companies.

For example, Republicans wrote and passed the Sherman Antitrust Act, which was drafted at the behest of Standard Oil?s competitors. In 1890, when the act was passed, Standard Oil was the most efficient oil company in the world, and its competitors were struggling to compete with it. The act broke up a company that had over 300 competitors and had lowered its prices for decades, so that other oil companies could survive selling their oil at higher prices.

John D. Rockefeller, the founder and chairman of Standard Oil, learned from this experience. Contrary to popular myth, Rockefeller was not a robber baron in the oil business. Like Romney, he had achieved his success honestly in the market through reinvestment, voluntary contracts and his commitment that ?we are refining oil for the poor man and he must have it cheap and good.?

However, when he got into banking, his strategy was different. Having seen the advantages of having government as a partner, Rockefeller made sure that he was well-represented at the secret meetings held on Jekyll Island to create the Federal Reserve System.

Pitched as a consumer protection against bank instability, it set up a government cartel that controls the money supply, interest rates and most banking activity in general. Free market economists cite the Federal Reserve System as the chief cause of economic booms and busts, including those that led to the Great Depression and the 2008 housing crisis.

Railroads provide another example. Nineteenth-century government-subsidized railroads were plagued by fraud, waste and recurring bankruptcies, while James J. Hill?s non-subsidized Great Northern Railroad operated profitably. Unable to compete, his subsidized competitors persuaded the government to pass the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887 and the Hepburn Act of 1906. As Thomas DiLorenzo observes, ?What these two federal laws did was to outlaw Hill?s price cutting by forcing railroads to charge everyone the same high rates. This was all done in the name of consumer protection, giving it an Orwellian aura.?

procesne-mreze.com ? Blog Archive ? Introducing Car Insurance ...

Deciding on the best cheap online auto insurance policy can be an onerous and overpowering experience. With the amount of different options to pick from, it is no surprise that so many people are not aware of where to begin. This post includes a number of tips about how to find the best quick car insurance quote and company for you.

Auto Insurance Quote Good Tips

Should you update your car using upgraded items like spoilers or perhaps a completely new fender, you may not obtain the full worth back in the specific case of an automobile accident. Insurance policies only consider the fair market value of your car and the upgrades you made generally do not get considered on a dollar for dollar basis.

If your car is worth less than you owe, consider purchasing inexpensive GAP (Guaranteed Auto Protection) insurance to protect yourself. Insurance companies pay you only what your car is worth at the time of your claim. If your car is worth is less than what you owe, you may not receive enough compensation to cover the cost of your loan or lease without GAP coverage.

One great auto insurance tip is to get uninsured motorist coverage. This is the best way to protect your family against drivers who are either underinsured or completely uninsured. You can?t control whether or not people take the risk of driving uninsured, but you can control whether or not your family members are protected from them.

Auto Insurance Quote Tips

Many people don?t realize it, but the type and model of car that you have can greatly affect the price of insurance. An SUV needs a much higher amount of coverage than a basic economy style car. When you are purchasing your car, be sure to take insurance prices into account to see if the actual price fits into your budget.

When you are shopping for auto insurance for your teenage driver, get quotes for both adding him or her to your insurance and for buying a separate insurance policy. In general it will be cheaper to add a new driver to your current insurance, but there may be circumstances when it is less expensive to buy a separate policy.

Be a safe driver! Do not be a high risk driver! Insurance companies view you as high risk if you have a lot of traffic violations, car accidents, or drunken driving violations. Some states have ? no law to protect drivers ? who are high risk, and insurers often will not accept high risk drivers in those states.

The type of car that you drive can have a dramatic impact on your auto insurance rate. Sports cars, high performance vehicles and autos frequently targeted by thieves, all result in high rates for the driver. If you are considering purchasing one of these vehicles, make sure you can afford the higher insurance rates as well as your loan payments.

More Auto Insurance Quote Tips and Hints

If you have a car that is considered to be a classic or special model, you may want to consider joining an auto club that is related to your vehicle. Many auto clubs offer insurance discounts that could end up saving you thousands of dollars a year, while also having reliable and trustworthy car insurance.

There are a great many auto insurance sites online that allow you to search for the lowest rates available from all of the major insurance providers. Before you sit down to do your research, have all relevant information with you at your computer: current agent, accident history, demographic, and vehicle make, model, and year.

Looking out for cheap car insurance doesn?t have to be complicated. As you?ve noticed, it is important to arm yourself with the information you need to be able to generate the suitable selection for the car, how old you are, and your conditions as a vehicle holder. Since you have this data at hand, your next vehicle insurance purchasing decision really should be a much wiser one.

Duracell Powermat WiCC could bring wireless charging to any smartphone, we go hands-on (video)

Powermat may have a bright future, but the company's products to date have been expensive, slightly clunky and a generally imperfect solution for bringing wireless power to mobile devices. That could all change with WiCC. The Wireless Charging Card (WiCC) is an IEEE Power Matters Alliance (PMA) standard, with the potential to integrate Duracell Powermat technology within every mobile gadget. The incredibly thin device resembles those wafer-like SmartMedia cards once used in early digital cameras, with a similar form factor, but significantly more practicality. Each WiCC includes all the PowerMat circuitry found in the company's charging cases, while also doubling as an NFC antenna. The card's success is of course contingent on cooperation from device manufacturers, who will need to add a slim connector above the battery leads, including two for power, two for NFC and two for data -- an app will monitor charging. Powermat reps say that such a connector would cost pennies to implement, however, making it a potentially easy sell.

Powermat President Daniel Schreiber sees this as a major breakthrough for the smartphone industry, saying "we're going to do for wireless power what the memory card did for storage in mobile phones." We had a chance to take a look at a mock-up of the wireless card at MWC, which was resting just above the battery in a Samsung Galaxy S II. Because the phone's battery is slightly recessed, both the card and battery fit below the device's original backplate -- the WiCC lies flush with the phone's camera lens. Overall, we think there's some serious potential here, assuming device manufacturers are game to come on board. Still, don't expect to see these hitting stores anytime this year -- the company expects its other products to come to market long before the Wireless Charging Card. So for now, jump past the break to take a closer look, but don't make any plans to toss that power adapter just yet.

Video Podcasting For Fifty-and

Published by witter | February 26, 2012 | | 1

Video podcasting is a wonderful new way to keep in bit with family and friends,
and also provides an innovative way to indicate the globe your expertise.
Though new and computer-primarily based, podcasts aren?t just a tool for young individuals or
advanced pc users. They are a tool for sharing information and experiences.
And although the name could recommend they are a complicated, after all they?re
relatively easy to create and publish.
A podcast is an audio or video file distributed by RSS software which will be
downloaded on the Internet. But, rather than typical on-line audio or video files -
which are only available to be downloaded or viewed when the user has found it -
when a podcast is formed, subscribers automatically download new episodes as
soon as they become available.
This can be as a result of of RSS software. RSS ? which stands for Really Simple Syndication -
could be a technology that feeds a description of net content with a link to the initial
content. When content is updated, the RSS feeds a headline and outline to
subscribers automatically.
When combined with a podcast, it permits subscribers to see when new episodes of
the podcast have been created, and automatically downloads these episodes to
subscribers. All that?s required
A video podcast is a inventive method to securely share your experiences with family and
friends, and your experience and skills with people on the opposite facet of town or the
alternative side of the world.
Vacation highlights, birthdays, anniversaries, outdoor adventures, and vacation
celebrations are all good for a podcast. After all, any photos or video material will
simply be made into a video podcast.
Digital photos will be become a video photo-album, complete with a voice-over
and background music. And a two-minute video-clip can make the viewer feel as if
they?re experiencing the moment, rather than merely watching what has already

De Villiers century guides South Africa to win

Wellington: South African captain AB de Villiers anchored his side's run chase as they beat New Zealand by six wickets at Wellington Regional Stadium on Saturday to take a 1-0 lead in their three-match one-day international series.

De Villiers stroked his 13th one-day century to finish 106 not out and combined in a 90-run partnership with JP Duminy (46) and for 129-runs with Faf du Plessis (66 not out) as the visitors overhauled New Zealand's 253-9 with 28 balls to spare.

Scorecard

The result ended New Zealand's unbeaten run of seven matches at the stadium stretching back to January 2006 and was the highest successful run chase at the ground, eclipsing New Zealand's 237-2 against Zimbabwe in 2001.

The decision review system was also put to use by both sides, as it overturned three dismissals given on the field by umpires Chris Gaffaney and Richard Illingworth.


Du Plessis was given out lbw on 10 from the bowling of Doug Bracewell but immediately requested a review and the decision was overturned with replays showing the ball would have bounced well above the wickets.

New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum, who had top scored with 56 for the hosts, also had two dismissals overturned.

He was given out lbw on the first ball he faced from Lonwabo Tsotsobe and again when he was ruled to have been caught behind by De Villiers from Robin Petersen when he was on three.

Replays showed the lbw delivery would have bounced over the stumps, while he failed to hit the ball from Peterson.

The 30-year-old then combined with Kane Williamson for a 79-run third wicket partnership, with the 21-year-old Williamson eventually making 55.

James Franklin (32) and Andrew Ellis (20) provided some lower-middle order resistance to guide the hosts to their total.

South Africa's fast bowlers had proved to be difficult to get away as they bowled short of a length, while medium-pacer Jacques Kallis cleverly took the pace off the ball to get rid of the dangerous Jesse Ryder and McCullum.

The second match is in Napier on Wednesday.
