Deezer starts streaming tunes in 35 Latin America countries, Mexico and Puerto Rico included

Music streaming service Deezer unveiled its global expansion strategy late last year, and what better way to stay true to your word than by launching in 35 countries all at once. Deezer announced earlier today it's going live in a whole bunch of Latin American nations starting today, including markets such as Mexico, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Uruguay, Colombia, Bermuda and Jamaica. The service will offer a variety of different plans to choose from; one of which is a "Discovery Mode" that allows users to have access to over 18 million tracks but limits the jams to 30-second clips -- or, there's also a gratis 15-day trial if you're looking for the full-on experience. Additionally, the Premium and Premium+ plans are set to range anywhere from around $4 to $9, all depending on what country you're in. Speaking of, be sure to peruse the PR right past the break to check out the full list of nations involved in the rollout.

LG 55LM9600

Picture quality is arguably the most important aspect of an HDTV. A set can be well designed, it can have tons of features, it can be easy to use, but if the picture isn't very good, it isn't worth it. The LG 55LM9600 stuffs loads of goodies including passive 3D and built-in Wi-Fi into its attractive metal frame, but a mediocre picture makes this $3,599.99 (list) 55-inch LED-backlit LCD HDTV an overpriced set that skimps where it counts.

Design
The screen itself looks very striking, with a single pane of glass stretching nearly edge to edge, framed by a millimeter-wide silver metallic bezel connected to a metal frame. The stand is also metal, and lets the screen pivot left and right. A row of basic controls including Power, Menu, Input, Channel Up/Down, and Volume Up/Down sit behind the right side of the screen. Four HDMI and three USB ports occupy the left side of the back of the HDTV facing left, and the component, composite, cable, Ethernet, and VGA ports sit facing down.

Like previous LG HDTVs, the 55LM9800 uses LG's motion control remote to manipulate an on-screen cursor like an air mouse.?Waving the remote moves the cursor across the HDTV's Smart Hub and through various menus and services. The curved, wand-shaped remote has only a few buttons for Home, Back, 3D, Menu, Mute, Channel Up/Down, and Volume Up/Down. Everything is centered on the scroll wheel which doubles as a button by clicking it like a mouse, but it's easy to accidentally turn the scroll wheel instead of clicking it, which makes the TV think you're trying to change channels instead of selecting an option in a menu. If you don't want to use the motion controls, the scroll wheel is surrounded by a directional pad. However, if you move the remote around too much, it picks up the motion as a command to move the cursor and overrides the direction pad.

All online features are accessible through the Smart Hub, a main menu for the different streaming media services and apps you can access online either through the 55LM9600's ?built-in Wi-Fi or through an Ethernet connection. The usual services are available, like Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, and Pandora, along with social network apps for Facebook and Twitter and various specialized apps available for download.

Performance
We test HDTVs using a Konica-Minolta CS-200 chromameter, DisplayMate image software, and Spectracal CalMAN calibration software. After basic brightness and contrast calibration, the 55LM9600 showed a peak white level of 162.26 cd/m² and a black level of 0.03 cd/m² for a contrast ratio of 5,409:1. This is a modest performance; the screen doesn't get particularly dark, and shows a slightly lower contrast ratio than the LG 55LM6700's?($2,299.99, 4 stars)?8,556:1. Colors were generally accurate, with green and red channels appearing slightly oversaturated. The chart below shows how the HDTV's measurements (the colored dots) compare to the CIE standard levels (the respective squares).

Picture quality is disappointing, especially for a $3,600 HDTV. I watched Piranha on Blu-ray, and the middling contrast ratio resulted in shadow details like seaweed and dark rooms getting swallowed by murk. Jerry O'Connell's character's frenzied face was a suitably bright red thanks to the screen's color performance, but the adjacent piles of cocaine didn't quite "pop" because the screen doesn't get particularly bright. The less expensive 55LM6700??has a much better picture, getting much brighter and showing better shadow detail.

The 55LM9600 uses passive 3D, which means it works with inexpensive 3D glasses with passive lenses. It comes with six pairs of glasses, and you can easily get more pairs from movie theaters or online at as little as a few dollars a pair. Unfortunately, the 3D effect is unimpressive. While slight depth is visible, the 3D picture doesn't quite pop out of the screen, and significant crosstalk appears when viewing the screen from any angle other than straight on. I watched 3D demo videos of the PlayStation 3 games Gran Turismo 5 and Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception and 3D footage from NCAA basketball and the Winter X Games, and none of them showed truly immersive depth. The active 3D Samsung UN46ES8000F ($2,999.99, 3.5 stars) showed better 3D picture quality and comes with four pairs of active 3D glasses.

As far as power consumption, without energy saving settings enabled, the 55LM9600 used 99 watts. With energy saving set to "Low," that number dropped to 89 watts. Setting energy efficiency settings any higher than "Low" resulted in the screen dimming too much to be watchable. In contrast, the lower-end 55LM6700 consumed only 48 watts in our tests without getting too dark.

The LG 55LM9600 is one of the most attractively designed HDTVs we've seen this year, but its high price and middling picture quality make it a much less appealing screen than both similarly priced and much less expensive HDTVs. The Samsung UN46ES8000F ?stuffs more interface gimmicks like voice and gesture control, two more convenient remote controls than the 55LM9600's remote, and better 3D for less than $200 more. Our Editor's Choice budget HDTV, the 55-inch Vizio M3D550KD ($1,999.99, 4 stars), offers a solid picture and the convenience of passive 3D at a fraction of the price of either screen. Unless you want to pay much more money for a pretty frame the 55LM9600 doesn't earn its price tag.

You may want to visit Samuel J. Palmisano to increase your knowledge. As well as the barrier in addition, that makes it difficult education and learning in the use of computer science in the schools. Introduction For modismo or conscience, computer science has entered in the schools. The computer is propitiating a true revolution in the education process? learning. Therefore the fact of it to be capable to teach, has created many debates and confusions of what believing that it is capable to solve the problems educational.

Let us see to the question of the methods and of practical the educational one, it had a questioning how much to this. Many lay professors in computer science relutaram how much to the use of the computer, many times from fear of the new, or simply for seeing the computer as something difficult to work, or because the pupils know more the computer, of what the proper professors. another one, the maintenance of the laboratories depends on a financial cost, in which the direction has that to know to manage, for the fact of the repassed value the schools to be very small, arriving to be risrio. Keep up on the field with thought-provoking pieces from ARC Investment Partners. They exist some common questions in the day the day regarding the introduction of computer science in the schools, for examples: Why the use of computer science in the education? Which the originary benefits of the technology? if really has some benefit or is a modismo question? The technology not cause changes only in what we make, but also in our behavior, of as we elaborate knowledge and in our relationship with the society and the world. The main objective when adapting computer science to the pertaining to school resume is in the use of the computer as instrument of support to the substances and the given contents inside of the rooms of lessons, beyond the function of prepare the pupils for a informatizada society. The pupils can use the computer to develop projects with the contents given in the classroom, being made graphical, presentation of slides, drawings and to make research on the studied subject. Conclusion On the basis of my experience, can be shown the capacity of computer science as pedagogical instrument for elaboration of activities, allowing the pupil to pass for a process of construction of the knowledge.

Educative computer science must make pate of the project pedagogical politician of the school, project that if defines all the ambitions of the school in its proposal educational. With the globalization of the knowledge of present computerization in our day the day, is possible to use this knowledge to work the pedagogical contents, taking the pupil to analyze the events of the society and the world, and its preparation for the work market, that to each day that passes if becomes more demanding the technological knowledge. Therefore, this does not mean that alone computer science is enough to revolutionize the education. Reference TAJRA, Sanmya Feitosa.

House Finance Hearing on Eliminating School Property Tax - The ...

Today, the House Finance Committee held a lengthy public hearing on Representative Cox?s HB 1776 or the Property Tax Independence Act to eliminate the school property tax code in favor of raising sales and income taxes.

The committee hosted six outside speakers to discuss the impact of this legislation but first in the hot seat was Representative Cox himself. He began by summarizing the legislation, which boasts 70 cosponsors. Were the bill to be adopted, schools and school boards would no longer be permitted to raise or levy school property taxes, except to cover the cost of their preexisting debt. Cox provided information that there are approximately 19 school districts in the Commonwealth who are debt-free, and the average school?s debt takes up 10 percent of their budget. In these districts, property owners would see a 90 percent decrease in their school property taxes, and when the debt was paid off, the tax would disappear.

To make up for the school?s lost revenue, Cox proposed an increase in the sales and earned income taxes. Both right around a 1 percent, the increases also have several caveats. Clothing purchases under $50 would not be taxed and food items on the WIC list, essentially a list of foods considered nutritious and necessary, would also not be taxed. Cox believes that this will increase will still provide enough revenue to schools, as well as lessen the burden on property owners who are forced out of their home due to high and ever-increasing school property taxes.

Speaking in support of the legislation were the Pennsylvania State Grange and the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau. The State Grange agreed wholeheartedly with Cox?s belief that property taxes are unfair, especially to farm owners; the Grange went as far as to call them ?cumbersome, burdensome and costly.? The Farm Bureau went on to explain that farmers are particularly hurt by property taxes because often, they are ?land rich and cash poor? which makes their property taxes high despite their lower revenues.

In opposition to the bill were the Pennsylvania Retailers Association, a representative from the National Federation of Independent Businesses, the Pennsylvania Bar Association and the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center. Retailers and NFIB opposed the legislation on the grounds that the taxation would slow consumers and that compliance to this complicated bill would cost businesses time and money. The bill also would place a tax on legal services, which the PA Bar Association opposed, saying that legal services are more often than not an essential service.

However, the harshest critic of the legislation was the Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center. Michael Wood, research director of the Center, questioned nearly all of the merits of the bill. He pointed out that while property taxes are unpopular; eliminating them at the state level was meddling into local issues and applying a one-size-fits-all approach to the many different and diverse municipalities of Pennsylvania. He called it bad policy that depends wholly on risky and unknown factors, especially since there is no funding formula in place for how schools will be allocated money without their property taxes.

Despite these criticisms, Cox remained confident through the hearing that with amendments and continued education on his bill that he would garner the support of the majority of the House.

T-Mobile's HTC One S getting its maintenance update starting this week

OK, all you loyal T-Mobile HTC One S onwers. (That'd be those of you in the U.S., by the way.) That maintenance release that was delayed a week should be pushing out now. Improvements in software version 1.84.531.2.710RD include fixes to the splash screen, the voicemail notification not showing up when on Wifi calling, improvements to Wifi calling itself, fixes to the camera and signal fluctuations.

Do note that TMo has said there's no manual download option for the update, and you'll have to wait for it to push over the air. It's not clear whether that means the server from which the download originates will be obfuscated, and thus no manual download will be possible (that's hardly unheard of these days), or whether it's referring to an RUU or something. Keep an eye out for the update and logcat at the ready, and we'll see what's what.

T-Mobile says the update will be pushing through July 7.

We had about?40 people last year, and will invite the same group this year.?? We already know of 3 families who can't make it though (vacations, etc.), so it will be smaller for that reason.

We have a "mixed bag" of people invited.? LO doesn't really have her own friends yet, so it's?family and our friends (some of whom have kids, some don't).

She goes to an in home?DCP, but we opted not to invite the kids there last year and won't this year either.???We like them very much, and I would consider the kids DD's friends, but we just felt it would be odd, since we don't know them well?and have?never socialized with them outside of daycare.

As for activities, we are doing a craft for the kids who are old enough to participate (bee craft from Oriental Trading).?? DD won't really be old enough for it, so I don't expect smaller babies to care?either.? I just wanted? something for the older kids so they don't get bored.??

Should Your Moving Plan Include Storage Pods?

When it comes to moving stuff, one of the most popular methods that many movers seem to be using is known as the usage storage pods. With this type of storage, you are basically given a large but portable storage container that is rented by the day and allows you to keep all of your possessions safely inside. While this idea may sound pretty awesome, is it actually worth it to pursue this option or would something else be better? Let's see.

Storage Pod Cons

Unfortunately, one negative thing associated with these pods is the fact that many apartment complexes have certain restrictions on where you can place your pod. Also, these pods may come along with additional unplanned costs. For one thing, you will need a parking permit in order to keep your pod out there on the street. Secondly, using a pod is normally more expensive that renting a U-Haul truck. Some pod companies may also not be able to give you the final total of your bill until everything is completed because rental time isn't definite. Because of this, people have sometimes said that they have received additional charges that they were unaware of at first.

Pros of Storage Pods

Many people adore the idea of using these pods in conjunction with their storage needs because the pods can simply sit outside of your house for as long as you need them to. If you feel like you are short on time, all you need to do is call up the rental company and add a few days, no questions asked. For people doing a home remodel or painting their house, this type of storage space is ideal. Also, utilizing pod space is typically much cheaper than having to hire a full moving company to transport all of your stuff.

One reason that many people seem to love these pods for storage is because you can simply keep them sitting outside of your house for as long as you would like. If you feel like you could use a few extra days, you simply call the rental company up and let them know. This type of storage is also great if you are working on projects like remodeling your home or painting a new room. Another great pro to these pods is that if you are moving somewhere far away, pods are normally much cheaper than hiring a full moving company to help move your stuff.

Final Words

Should storage pods be implemented into your moving routine? Does it sound like a good or bad idea? As we have seen, these pods have both good and bad qualities. On one hand, you can keep the pods out on the street for as long as you need to and they can go almost anywhere. Unfortunately, they may be tied to hidden costs and you need a permit to keep them on the street. The decision on whether or not to use these really depends on you and your project's needs.

Travel during these troubled economic times might come with its unique challenges. For some travel to visit close family is a must despite the economic situation.

Do not use vehicles without proper licensing or one which does not pick you up from the designated area. If you are renting a car, get maps in advance and have written directions to your destination. If you need to stop for directions, go to brightly lit public areas. Keep the contact numbers of your destination and any contact people with you. Be familiar with the local driving rules. Ensure that the car is locked while driving. Do not pick up strangers or stop for people you do not know.

Do not discuss your travel plans or itinerary in public. Blend in with the local people as best you can. Avoid any public disturbances and civil demonstrations as they can turn violent.

5. Valuables/Credit cards:

Keep your valuables and important documents (passports, currency, travelers checks, tickets?) in a hotel safe. Keep a copy of your passport with you at all times, but away from the actual passport. Whenever you use your credit card, be vigilant till you get it back. Check you card when returned, always verify that it is your credit card before putting it away.

Her story kind of reminds me Natalie who was also adopted and is now an adoptive mama. Such great women offering a wonderful perspective!

We adopted our two oldest boys from foster care.

The experience of working with their families during the reunification period gave me such a compassion for parents going through hardships. I saw how much love their birth families had for them even though the families were unable to provide a forever home for the boys.

Walking through the fire of foster care adoption has absolutely made me less judgmental because as I learned, you never know someone?s story. You never know what they might have gone through that brought them to this place in their lives. I hate that my boys are not allowed contact with their birth families because of some safety concerns. We have tried to teach them about their birth families through pictures and letters that I asked their first mom?s to write to them. I hope one day they can meet again.

Adopting my boys brought me full circle in life because I was adopted from foster care myself as an infant. My birth parents were very young and not equipped to care for an infant. I grew up with very limited information about my birth family. When I was 19, I tracked them down and met them. I was able to thank them for allowing me to have a life that was so rich in family and joy. Their heartbreak at losing me gave me such a wonderful childhood and I cannot possibly thank them enough. They have the opportunity now to be grandparents to my children and to watch them grow up. We have such a unique family dynamic now but it?s wonderful.

One thing adoption has taught me is that a child can never have too many people to love them.

Did you miss?last week?s Good News? It?s a genius idea from a hopeful adoptive couple that come up with a creative way to make their adoption profile pop. So fun!

Read ALL the Good News moments.
