Angry Birds debit cards to be issued in Russia

MOSCOW (AP) ? Russian fans of the videogame Angry Birds will soon be able to get special debit cards ? or "Angry Cards" ? giving them discounts on the game's products.

Moscow-based Promsvyazbank said Tuesday it will start issuing the new MasterCards on June 4. They will be printed with images of the various characters and will give users a 10 percent discount on all Angry Birds-branded products.

Besides debit cards, the bank will also issue Angry Bird cash cards, which users top up with money. The bank will pay a 4 percent annual interest rate on the card's balance.

The maker of Angry Birds, Rovio Entertainment, has already launched toys and baby clothes lines featuring Angry Birds characters. But the Russian debit card is going to be the first Angry Birds branded financial product. The videogame has been downloaded more than 10 million times in Russia.

Ivan Pyatkov, director for retail sales and technology at Promsvyazbank, told the Associated Press that the bank is planning an initial printing of 50,000 cards but hopes to issue twice as much by the end of the year.

The bank expects the card to help attract urbanites between 25 and 35 years of age with a monthly income of at least $1,000.

Pyatkov said the bank is receiving a large number of requests for Angry Birds cards following early reports in the Russian press.

"Some clients are demanding their Angry Birds cards right now ? before the official launch," Pyatkov said.

Promsvyazbank will be launching the card in partnership with Internet Retail Solutions, Rovio's agent in Russia.

Promsvyazbank, ranked as Russia's 11th largest by the Interfax research center, is 74 percent-owned by two Russian tycoons, the Ananyev brothers. Commerzbank holds 14 percent in the lender via a subsidiary while the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has a 12 percent stake.

Google+ Local sees reviews from friends, Zagat invade your restaurant hunts (video)

Image

We'd been wondering what Google would do following its acquisition of Zagat, and now we know: it's part of Google+ Local, a boost to Maps, general search, and Google+ itself. Zagat's point system now automatically shows up in search results for restaurants that have been given the extra scrutiny. Those of us who don't trust The Man for reviews will also now see Google+ friends' picks surface at the same time. The addition is considered important enough that Google is even adding a Local tab on Google+ just to show recommendations, so you won't have to abandon your constant updating (you're always posting on Google+, right?) to find a well-rated sushi place. Local should be live soon, if not now, and will make search plus Your World that much more omnipresent.

License-free saltwater, freshwater fishing fun coming next week ...

?

The first week of June is National Fishing and Boating Week. This year, start and end the week?s festivities by taking advantage of one of Florida?s license-free fishing days. Saltwater recreational anglers can fish without a license on June 2 and freshwater recreational fishers on June 9. There couldn?t be a better time to get out on the water and try your hand at some of Florida?s fine fishing on these two Saturdays.

Thirty-four states, including Florida and Georgia, will have license-free fishing days during the June 2 through June 10 National Fishing and Boating Week, a celebration of fishing and boating.

?Florida?s license-free fishing days are an excellent opportunity to share the fun, excitement and togetherness of a fishing trip with the entire family. This also is a great time for experienced anglers to introduce friends to the sport, even if they don?t have a fishing license,? said Nick Wiley, FWC executive director. ?By having these events on weekends, we hope Florida residents and visitors will experience the joy of saltwater and freshwater fishing. We expect many will discover a healthy sport they can enjoy for a lifetime.?

Saltwater anglers can try their hand at catching a red snapper, which will be open for harvest in Gulf and Atlantic state waters and Gulf federal waters on the June 2 saltwater license-free fishing day. Want to stick a little closer to shore? Try your hand at near-shore species such as spotted seatrout or red drum.

Now that school is out or almost out and people are in vacation mode, anglers will find June a great time to introduce a child to fishing or encourage a friend who hasn?t been fishing for a while to get on the water.

Almost everyone in Florida is within 45 minutes of a freshwater fishing hole. Dawn or dusk may be your best fishing times, but if you go midday, seek out the shadows around piers or fallen trees, or look for bass and bream under floating vegetation mats and in other shaded areas to enhance your success.

Fishing is a low-cost, wholesome form of entertainment, which is why the FWC offers four days when a recreational fishing license is not needed. Can?t make the June 2 or June 9 license-free fishing days? The FWC also made Sept. 1 a license-free saltwater fishing day, which not only falls on a holiday weekend, but is during the popular bay scallop and spiny lobster seasons.

Each year, the first Saturday in April and second Saturday in June will be license-free freshwater fishing days.

The state?s abundant resources, coupled with responsible freshwater and saltwater fish management, are why Florida is known as the ?Fishing Capital of the World.?

All other bag limit, season and size restrictions apply on these dates.

To make your fishing day successful, check out MyFWC.com/Fishing for fishing tips, locations and rules.

The Olympics, Reality Shows, and Canadian Cop Dramas

Apart from the Olympics, there are other signs that summer habits might be changing. According to the Los Angeles Times, 58 percent of U.S. homes watched prime-time television in August 2011, up from 56 percent in August 2009. Some of the change is surely driven by all that new cable content, but there is a technological component, too. Patricia McDonough, senior vice president of planning policy and analysis at Nielsen, told me that increasing adoption of DVRs?about half of U.S. households now have one?means the summer ratings dip is less pronounced than in the past: ?At 8 o?clock we may still be outdoors, but by 9 or 10, we may be in and watching programming. Now we don?t have to miss our favorite show if it?s on at 8, because we can DVR it and watch it when we get back.? And it?s not just DVRs. TV catch-up service Hulu has announced 10 original or exclusive programs that will unspool over the summer. What?s more, as of 2012, most mobile phones are smartphones, which means viewers can take their TV habits beyond the living room. ?If I?m out in the backyard barbecuing, I can still be watching the ball game. So the television is going with us this year probably more than ever before, and that?s a trend that will continue,? says McDonough. Right now, TV networks can?t sell advertising against that al fresco viewing, because it doesn?t show up in the standard Nielsen ratings, but the company has recently established a smartphone panel and other cross-platform measurements, so that may soon change.

Brian Baker Defeats Xavier Malisse At French Open, Continues Amazing Comeback

By Steve Tignor, Tennis.com

PARIS -- Brian Baker, 27 but looking a few years older and perhaps a little bit wiser than his age, headed back to the baseline after the coin toss with his baseball cap set low on his forehead. He walked on his toes, took short strides, and kept his narrow shoulders high and his upper body tilted back. He appeared to be what they call moseying. The Nashville native looked more like a country boy heading out his backdoor to do a little fishing than he did a man about to play his first match at Roland Garros. All he needed was a piece of straw in his mouth and a few lures, instead of a Babolat, in his hand to complete the down home illusion.

And that?s kind of how Baker plays tennis, with an easy, firm, no-nonsense manner, like a man who knows his business and who, rather than making a comeback after seven years and five surgeries, has been winning and losing Grand Slam matches for years now. When he makes a dumb error, Baker doesn?t lose his head. Instead, he?s the rare tennis player who scolds himself without raising his voice, and in complete sentences to boot. This afternoon, when he bungled a drop shot, Baker looked at his friends on the sidelines and said, conversationally, ?I?ve hit some pretty bad drop shots today.? Later, he tried to take a return of serve early, got his feet tangled, and put the ball into the back fence. ?That?s bad,? he said, using his indoor voice. ?It?s embarrassing.?

Baker doesn?t mess around with his strokes, either; there?s nothing elaborate or dramatic about them. He has some of the quickest and most compact backswings around. Actually, when you watch him up close, you realize that his forehand swing isn?t as short as it might appear; he just gets it through the zone with dispatch. His backhand? If Baker were 10 years younger and a rookie, we?d be describing it as one of the most exciting new shots in the game. It?s short and sweet and clean, but it?s also, as Baker?s opponent, Xavier Malisse, found out today, vicious. When Baker swings it, the fisherman turns into a bully.

Baker moseyed and bullied his way past Malisse in straight sets today, on a highly energized side court at Roland Garros. It was, oddly, the first Grand Slam match that Baker had played since losing to Malisse in the second round of the 2005 U.S. Open (last week Baker played his first ATP event of any kind since that match; he reached the final in Nice). That was before the sports hernia and the left hip operation and the Tommy John surgery and the reconstructive right elbow surgery and the right hip cleaning and who knows what else that Baker probably can?t even remember having done to him.

For obvious reasons, Baker has been the story of the ATP for the last few weeks, as he came from injury oblivion to earn the USTA?s wild card into Roland Garros and turn himself into the oldest phenom in U.S. tennis history. Still, this wasn?t a Baker crowd; it was Malisse, of nearby Belgium, who got the bigger cheer when the two were announced. Baker obviously wasn?t fazed.

Later he admitted to be a little in awe of the moment, but that wasn?t the only thing he felt as he walked out. ?I kinda had a little bit of confidence, too, going out there,? Baker said. ?I wasn?t as nervous as maybe I was in the U.S. Opens in the past. Last week [in Nice] helped me a ton, just beating some of those good players. You?re gonna have more nerves in a Grand Slam match. It?s just part of the game.?

A man going about his business.

Baker set the tone early, one that would stay the same throughout. He did what so many baseliners don?t do these days, he rushed his opponent. He took the ball early and on the rise. He moved in on his returns. He went down the line and through the shortest part of the court. And he used his 120-m.p.h. serve when needed. Malisse was a step behind, even on clay.

Baker?s plan worked to the tune of 46 winners against 27 errors. And his rush-the-opponent style worked best when it mattered most. Baker won the second set tiebreaker 7-1, going away, with a forehand winner, two aces, and another forehand winner. And when the inevitable nerves came, at 4-2 in the third set, Baker stayed just calm enough not to let them overwhelm him. In the third-set breaker, he earned one mini-break with a backhand return winner, then went up 5-4 with a gutsy forehand volley that he took from about a foot inside the baseline. Finally, he got what even folk heroes sometimes need, a little help. From 5-5, Malisse took two swings and hit two balls into the net. Baker had his first win at Roland Garros.

How did he celebrate? He threw his hands in the air and brought them down again. Then he moseyed up to the net to shake hands.

How did he react later? In typical Nashville fashion, without a whole lot of fuss.

?The last couple weeks my game has come around,? Baker said afterward, ?and I?m feeling a lot healthier and definitely playing some good tennis.? Healthy, playing good tennis: What else could a 27-year-old guy who was coaching college tennis last year ask for?

Where will the sport's version of a Disney feel-good flick end? Well, consider this: In November 1997, Andre Agassi was 27 years old and ranked No. 141; today Brian Baker is 27 years old and ranked No. 141. Can a career Grand Slam be far off?

For now, Baker may be starting to enjoy the star treatment. He plays France?s Gilles Simon next. Baker says, with a no-fuss grin, that he wouldn't mind if it's on a show court.

Tough times for small U.S. films despite bumper Cannes

CANNES, France (Reuters) - In a bumper year for U.S. productions in Cannes, director John Hillcoat, presenting prohibition-era drama "Lawless" at the film festival on Saturday, said the state of smaller-budget American movies was "distressing".

Lawless is in fact an international production - Hillcoat and two of his leading cast are Australian, as is scriptwriter and musician Nick Cave.

But the 1930s tale of three bootlegging brothers in Virginia also features leading U.S. actors Jessica Chastain and Shia LaBeouf and is backed by the Weinstein Company.

It is one of five U.S. productions in Cannes' main competition of 22 films, an unusually high number, leading some executives on the French Riviera to speak of a boom in medium-budget pictures costing a few tens of millions of dollars.

But Hillcoat, who collaborated with Cave on the acclaimed 2005 Western "The Proposition", was less sanguine.

"The state of things is pretty tough as everyone here knows, particularly in my world which is the kind of medium-budgets," he told reporters after a press screening of Lawless, where there were boos as well as cheers at the closing credits.

"They are films that have character and drama and those are words that you cannot use in the United States at this time. So that I find quite distressing."

He said television had become increasingly important, with U.S. channels like HBO leading the way in developing intelligent, probing dramas.

VIOLENCE AND VELVET UNDERGROUND

Lawless is an ultra-violent adaptation of author Matt Bondurant's fictionalized account of his family called "The Wettest County in the World".

British actor Tom Hardy plays Forrest, who with his brothers Howard (Jason Clarke) and Jack (LaBeouf) run a successful but illegal moonshine business that local police officers are happy to allow in return for backhanders.

Trouble arrives in the idyllic Virginian hills in the form of special agent Charlie Rakes, a creepy, effete officer from Chicago determined to break the Bondurant brothers and put an end to locals' belief that they are indestructible.

Hillcoat was attracted to the film, in which Western meets gangster movie, partly because he believed it reflected contemporary concerns.

"There's a lot of parallels to today with the economic crisis, the political crisis, the war on drugs," he said.

Cave also saw links, and tried to reflect them in the score, which he wrote.

"This is actually a modern film in its way, because ... prohibition, it still exists today, it still fails epically with the so-called war on drugs," he said.

"So there was a kind of gleeful idea of fusing modern day concerns such as a Velvet Underground song about taking speed and amphetamines, like 'White Heat', and doing it in a kind of bluegrass, authentic American style that seemed to pull the present back to the past in some kind of pleasing way."

Regarding the portrayal of violence - shootings and beatings abound - he added: "It's very brutal, very quick, it's all over very fast and it leaves a huge mess behind and that was what really excites me about the way John deals with violence."

One reporter asked him to comment on remarks he once made about enjoying getting older. Cave could not recall them, but went on to say: "My memory's gone and I have to use the thesaurus a lot, dictionaries a lot, enlarge the type, all that sort of shit. It's awful and I don't recommend it to anyone."

Bricolo mechanical music system hand-on (video)

Bricolo Mechanical Music System hands-on

Nick Yulman has been doing the whole mechanical music thing for sometime. In fact, the first time he came to our attention was at Maker Faire a couple of years back, when he had a cadre of small robotic instruments set up on a table in a quiet corner near the food stands. For ITP's Spring Show, Nick decided to share the love and brought along his Bricolo mechanical music system. Comprised of a number of different modules, Bricolo is meant to simplify the act of incorporating robotics and physical objects into the creation of "electronic" music. The two main pieces are a drum arm, which can be mounted on a mic stand and uses and uses a simple actuator to swing a drum stick, and a platform with a small solenoid that can produce either percussive rhythms or melodic tones. All of the pieces can be easily controlled by any MIDI instrument or sequencer.

The small platform that can produce actual musical tones converts notes from any MIDI source into a frequency that the solenoid can vibrate at, creating sound by striking a surface extremely quickly. In the video below you can see as an old hard cover book is turned into a bass synth. Interestingly, by opening and closing the book, varying the weight placed on the platform, you're able to create a filter effect. For the moment the tiny musical motors are largely a proof of concept -- exposed components attached to black or clear acrylic, but the hope is to eventually sell them to curious creators. Our composing skills might not be quite up to Mr. Yulman's lofty standards and we'll never write a bass line as good as I Want You Back. But, we are big fans of noise, and you can make plenty of it with Bricolo. Check out the video after the break to see it in action.

Richard's Real Estate and Urban Economics Blog: Yongheng Deng ...

Yongheng, Gary and Chris write a lovely tribute for AREUEA:

Monday, May 14, the community of AREUEA was deeply saddened to learn that John Quigley passed away on Saturday, May 12, 2012.

Since our early years at Berkeley, John has been a wonderful mentor and friend to us. John has been a member of 84 PhD committees since 1990, chairing 26 of them (including the three of us). He was a distinguished academic, a mentor for his students throughout their entire career. He excelled in each of the areas we value: research, teaching, and service. He published 22 articles in just the past three years alone, and his work has earned more than 10,000 citations. His service to the profession is unparalleled.

Within AREUEA, John served in many capacities including President and most recently as the chair of the International Selection Committee. He served as the chair of the Department of Economics at UC Berkeley, the editor of Regional Science and Urban Economics, and as a role model to many. Beyond these which can be counted, John's mix of conviction, energy, and laughter made him a singular character in our worlds. We will remain ever grateful for his guidance and advice, but beyond all of it, we also just liked him. He was good company--on a panel just as he was on the train from Shanghai to Beijing. John made life fun. He not only helped us join a profession, but helped us become part of a community. Simply put, we would not be the academics that we are today, if it not for him. We feel so fortunate that we have had him as a teacher, mentor, friend and collaborator.

We will always cherish the memory of John in our heart as a great scholar, a wonderful human being, a man of great intelligence, kindness, dedication, generosity, and profound integrity. We will forever miss him and miss him dearly.

A review of Forex currency trading | Fleurieu Training

What exactly is FOREX?

Foreign exchange stands for this currency exchange market, that is a major international financial market exactly where stock markets tend to be traded.

Which means they could business $100,500 prevents, supplied their particular consideration is made up of no less than $100,Thousand a 1% Equals $1000. $ 1, 000 may shield the particular broker against virtually any prospective cutbacks that the consumer helps make (currency beliefs seldom vary through over 1% in a single day time). If the customer?s bank account is actually lowered by simply loss (my partner and i.elizabeth. decreasing the broker?s stability beneath satisfactory levels), the actual broker may shut most trades and need a different down payment before additional positions can be made.

Buying and selling perimeter permits people to control quantities of currency exchange wiith reasonably small amounts of money (usually 60, One hundred or perhaps 2 hundred periods the volume of cash they may have spent).

'Survivor One World' Finale: Predicting The Winner

Former 'Survivor' contestant Rob Cesternino weighs in on the final five contestants vying for the title of Sole Survivor.

A foulmouthed special-ed teacher, a medical-sales-repping Southern belle, an indecisive career consultant from Hollywood, a sneaky bridal shop owner and a high school teacher from Brooklyn: These are the women competing for the million-dollar prize on Sunday night's (May 13) "Survivor: One World" season finale.

In a season dominated by just one contestant — 29-year-old Kim Spradlin, who has won numerous immunity challenges and forged multiple alliances to get to the endgame — predicting the "One World" winner isn't quite as challenging as it's been in "Survivor" seasons of yore. But this is "Survivor" we're talking about, and twists are the name of the game. There's no shortage of curveballs that could be thrown at the final five contestants in tonight's race for the Sole Survivor title.

As we've done all season long, MTV News joined forces with two-time "Survivor" contestant and regular commentator Rob Cesternino once again for his final "One World" predictions.

Most Likely to Win: Kim Spradlin
"Since the departure of Colton, 'Survivor: One World' has been the season of Kim," Cesternino said. "She's been in control of every single thing that's happened the whole way. She's had her finger on the pulse of the game. She played an amazing game and I think it would be almost criminal if she did not win — barring a total collapse during the finale."

Least Likely to Win: Christina Cha
"Christina at no point in the game has been in a favorable position," Rob reasoned. "It seems unlikely to think that she'll run off with two consecutive immunity challenges here at the end, when she's never even been in the mix to win one immunity challenge. She doesn't have the respect of the jury, considering some of those people were terrified by the possibility of going home before Christina. She hasn't done anything to get there."

Dark-Horse Pick: Sabrina Thompson
"I think she is very savvy," the former player said. "I also think she's well-liked by the jury. I think she could be an alternative to Kim in the finals, where she's able to sit there and say, 'Look, I didn't lie to you, and I didn't backstab you. That was all Kim. All of that bad stuff? Kim. I was here the whole way, and I was tough.' Sabrina is someone who could at least get a couple of votes in the finals. Maybe, if the jury goes anti-Kim, she could potentially squeak out a victory."

Worst-Case Scenario: Bitter Jury Syndrome
"I think it would be a shame if Kim makes it all the way to the finals and ends up losing the jury vote just as a way of getting back at her for voting out all of the men in the game," Rob said. "It's happened before on 'Survivor,' where the jury is bitter. I don't think Kim's social game has been lacking. It would be good to see someone who plays the best game get rewarded by the jury. Otherwise, as Russell Hantz has said before, the game would be flawed."

Biggest Possible Surprise: Kim Goes at Four
"The most surprising thing that could happen at the end of the season, for me, would be that one of these players smartens up and realizes that Kim has had the immunity idol and can't play it once she hits the final four. If she doesn't win that immunity challenge, the smartest thing that any of them can do is to take her out," Cesternino said. "If I'm Chelsea, and if I'm Sabrina, I don't know how I've gone this far without ever trying to take out Kim. It kills me to see these players roll over and die and give this game to Kim as they've done all season. If they turned on her at the final four, I would be very surprised."

Read the updated report?here. Thompson's position has been mired in controversy since news broke the other week that he had lied about his qualifications -- and that situation seemed to be going from bad to worse as the company failed to act on the news in any significant way -- and Thompson remained in control.

Twitpic for iPhone brings four years of image-sharing history, one year too late

Twitpic for iPhone brings four years of image-sharing history, one year too late

Having become a staple for 35 million life-observing extroverts already, Twitpic has suddenly decided to launch itself into the world of iOS apps. You may justifiably question the point of yet another platform for sharing photos and videos over Twitter, given how well the official app, Instagram and others now handle such things. But then you'd be missing out on a community that has been steadily growing since even before mobile photography took off, and whose visual ramblings are actually much funnier and more amazing than even the brightest shots of the Dutch skyline.

Jessica Simpson on Eric Johnson: The BEST Dad


Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson welcomed their daughter Maxwell Drew on Tuesday morning, and the new dad is doing all he can to take care of mom.

"Eric is amazing. He is involved with every single thing, and Maxwell adores him," a source close to Jessica says. "Whenever she cries, he picks her up and holds her in his arms, and [Maxwell] immediately stops crying."

"It's just the cutest thing."

In March, Simpson predicted that her fiancé would be an "unbelievable" father because he's patient and a born leader ... whatever that means.

In any case, she was totally right!

"He is the best dad already," the source continues. "He is also super attentive and taking amazing care of Jessica throughout. It's incredible."

All very good to hear.
