Without giving too much detail, the Un-carrier has announced that iPhone 7 and 7 Plus preorders have shattered all prior iPhone preorder records, jumping nearly four times compared to the prior record. Friday's preorder extravaganza set a single-day sales record for any device at the company. It probably helps that T-M...
Sprint's release was comparably strong. The company says that iPhone 7 and 7 Plus preorders over the first three days jumped 375% compared to last year. Customer order rates are about four times higher than last time around. The time frame that Sprint is referring to covers three days, compared to the four-day period t...
While the two larger carriers are staying quiet for the most part, it's conceivable that they're enjoying similarly strong demand for Apple's forthcoming flagship device. Apple expects the iPhone 7 launch to be supply constrained, and shipping date estimates for new preorders on its website have already slipped. In som...
Apple is in the midst of an ongoing push to shift the investing narrative away from iPhone unit sales, but iPhone still accounts for nearly two-thirds of total revenue, so it's going to take a lot more time before investors turn their attention to recurring revenue sources. Meanwhile, Apple has now put up the first yea...

Has the Sony Reader Wi-Fi Actually Got a Shot?
Sony may have been the first major electronics manufacturer to bring ebook readers to the US, but a series of unfortunate products saw them cede the race to Kindle and Nook. The PRS-T1, though, could be Sony's comeback kid.
The six-inch E-ink ebook reader is the world's lightest at that size, and its touchscreen display means you can annotate pages on the screen using either your finger or included stylus (the finger may be clumsier, but it feels more magical). The 2GB internal memory is good for 1,200 ebooks, while a microSD slot allows ...
Those are features you can find by varying degrees in the Nook Simple Touch, yes, or the latest Kindle. But at least it competes! And looks a little, well, angular and maybe cold but hey some people are into that. That is, after all, how books look.
He became a commercial musical force with the Weavers by making a hit out of Leadbelly's Goodnight, Irene. But it was what Seeger said in a string of work and protest songs that stirred the pot of social consciousness. It made him famous. Then it got him blacklisted.
But Seeger's importance didn't begin there. He was a protégé of folk archivist Alan Lomax, and folk was his key to America, especially rural areas where folk was a part of daily work life. These were roads Seeger never stopped walking. It led him to benefit concerts for migrant workers in the early 1940s and to Occupy ...
What continued to astound, though, was the influence Seeger had on other artists. The popularity of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash probably would have varied considerably without Seeger's support in the 1960s, as would the more electric Americana of The Byrds and the progressive country legions they inspired.
More recently, the politically driven music of Bruce Springsteen, the indie activist records of Ani DiFranco, and the global- and social-minded songs of Bruce Cockburn would have been unimaginable without Seeger.
For me, the recordings that exemplified the quiet but steadfast power of Seeger's tireless folk vision were the concert albums he released with Arlo Guthrie over the years, particularly 1975's Together in Concert. Among that record's almost childlike highlights was Get Up and Go, a humorous reverie on aging from a Seeg...
"In spite of it all, I'm able to grin," Seeger sang with no small amount of whimsy. "And think of the places my get-up has been."

With his fourth place finish at the Brickyard 400 Sunday, Dale Earnhardt Jr. officially took over the NASCAR Sprint Cup points lead for the first time in nearly a decade.
“I’m proud of that because it says a lot about our body of work,” Earnhardt said following the race. “All season long we’ve been working hard and finishing well.
Earnhardt, who trailed Matt Kenseth by 16 points entering the race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, capitalized on the misfortune of Kenseth, who finished 35th after a crash.
Although he was a bit disappointed about not winning the race, Earnhardt was still pleased at his performance as well as watching teammate Jimmie Johnson go to victory lane.
Sports Illustrated writes that before Sunday, Earnhardt hadn’t led the points since October 2004, after winning at Talladega. Two days later, a 25-point penalty for cursing during a TV interview cost him a lead he would not regain for nearly eight years.
Prior to Earnhardt’s fourth-place finish and the updated Cup standings, Dale’s sister, Kelley, had said that her brother is as confident as he was in 2003-04 when he scored eight of his 19 Cup victories. She credits Dale’s crew chief Steve Letarte.
“He’s just an easygoing guy and that’s what Dale needs,” Kelley Earnhardt-Miller said, adding that Letarte’s impact has created a new driver in her brother.
SILVER SPRING, Md., April 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) leaders signed an agreement today to maximize inspection and detection capabilities in order to prevent illegal and harmful products entering the U.S. through the nation's Internation...
"Today's letter of intent demonstrates the FDA's ongoing work with CBP and our other federal partners, to ensure that FDA-regulated products imported into the U.S. are safe and otherwise comply with federal law," said FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, M.D. "Thousands of illicit and dangerous products come from overseas ...
"CBP and FDA have a long history of working jointly to protect the public from illegal or harmful products entering the U.S.," said U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin K. McAleenan.

Most mail arrives in an IMF without advanced or specific identifying information. The FDA uses advanced screening technology to assess the contents of these packages and to increase efficiency of the agency's overall investigational capabilities.
The FDA and CBP will expand how information is shared between the agencies to identify trends which can target future entries. This may include general data points on frequent countries of origin, as well as specific products and volumes of packages at each location.
An additional focus of this effort will be coordinating shared space as well as increased scientific presence at high-risk/high-volume IMF locations, helping to facilitate and support real-time entry decisions and increased data sharing. Additionally, the FDA and CBP will enhance coordination around efforts to identify...
In Fiscal Year 2018, FDA staff posted at the IMFs around the country examined packages from more than 180 countries. Approximately 90 percent of the packages reviewed by the FDA contained products that should not have been entering the country.
There are currently nine IMF locations across the U.S., with one location in Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands respectively and two locations in California. CBP provides security and facilitation operations at 328 Ports of Entry throughout the country.
The Tuscaloosa News will dive into the differences between elite and collegiate gymnastics with a three-part series focusing on the decision to switch, the changes in competition and the best of both worlds. This is the third and final part. Go to www.tidesports.com or www.tuscaloosanews.com for parts 1 and 2.
Just two months before the Crimson Tide opened its 2019 season, one of its members was off in Doha, Qatar, representing Team Canada at the FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Championships.
There, Alabama freshman Shallon Olsen became the first Canadian woman to earn a vault medal at Worlds, taking home the silver with her 14.516. She finished second only to Team USA’s Simone Biles.
That was back in November. Come January, Olsen was competing in Tuscaloosa’s Coleman Coliseum. She’s the only current Alabama gymnast who decided not to fully give up her elite career when she joined the Crimson Tide.
“I just feel like there’s still a part of me that’s a little bit unfinished,” Olsen said. “I’m always a person who wants to do better each and every single time. I don’t really like to do worse. I just have higher goals for myself, I assume.
Now that Alabama’s season is officially over, Olsen will shift her focus to Canadian nationals in May. She’ll complete her spring semester at UA first and then go home to Canada for training. She’s coached by Vladimir Lashin and Svetlana Lasina at Omega Gymnastics.
By participating in Canadian nationals, Olsen should renew her carding status, which is how Canada verifies an athlete’s elite eligibility. That would then allow her to be considered for bigger competitions, such as Worlds, Pan American Games and Olympics.
The only reason Olsen is allowed to do both college and elite is because she has never accepted any prize money. Therefore, she’s not considered a professional. And she’s OK with that because college has always been a personal aspiration.
It’s a balance, though, mainly since the standard for difficulty is different.
Throughout this past season at Alabama, of course Olsen had to regularly practice her collegiate routines and do whatever else the team was focusing on at any given moment. But she also made sure to keep up with her elite skills, like a pike full-in or triple full, at least once a week to maintain her muscle memory. Sh...
No more dinging. Her expectations for herself are higher now.
Olsen has been a member of the Canadian national team since 2010. That includes a trip to the 2016 Rio Olympics, where she placed eighth on the vault. Now, after her second-place Worlds finish on the same event, she believes she can do even better at the ultimate level if given another opportunity next year, next summe...
“Rio 2016 was a big goal of mine to make it, but now I feel like I’ve put this other idea in my head that I can potentially medal on vault for Tokyo 2020,” Olsen said. “That’s a goal. To have that mentality, or to even put it in the back of mind, and then to actually achieve it is a completely different thing.
The Arkansas Senate voted Thursday to override a veto of a near-ban of abortions starting in the 20th week of pregnancy and backed a separate measure that would outlaw the procedures in most cases beginning in the 12th week.
The Republican-led Senate voted 19-14 along party lines to override Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe's veto of the 20-week bill, a day after the GOP-led state House voted to override it. A simple majority was required in each chamber.
That law, which took effect immediately, is based on the contested claim that fetuses can feel pain by that point.
Senate President Michael Lamoureux, R-Russellville, supported an override but told reporters afterward he was unsure whether the ban would survive a constitutional challenge.
"If it was an easy answer, then people wouldn't be raising that subject," he said after the vote.
Minutes after overriding Beebe's veto, the Senate's voted 26-8 in support of a bill that would outlaw most abortions starting in the 12th week of pregnancy, sending it to Beebe for consideration. He must decide by next week whether to sign or veto it.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Arkansas has already said it would challenge either the 20-week or 12-week bills if they became law, and opponents of the legislation were expected to seek an injunction barring enforcement of the new restrictions pending the outcome of the expected legal challenge.
Beebe said he thinks the new law contradicts the U.S. Supreme Court's 1976 Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized abortion until a fetus can viably survive outside of the womb, which is typically at 22 to 24 weeks. He said the state will waste money trying to defend it.
Sen. Bruce Maloch, D-Magnolia, previously voted for the 20-week ban but said he voted against the override out of deference to Beebe and the concerns the governor raised over the measure's constitutionality.
"These bills are a real dilemma for people who are pro-life, but still there are constitutional concerns. It does really tear at you," Maloch said.
The near ban of abortions starting in the 20th week of pregnancy is based on the disputed claim that a fetus can feel pain by then and therefore deserves protection from abortion. Seven states have enacted similar 20-week restrictions based on the fetal pain argument, according to the Guttmacher Institute, which tracks...
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says it knows of no legitimate scientific information supporting the idea that a fetus experiences pain.
The 12-week bill is based on the argument that a fetus should be protected from abortion once its heartbeat can be detected during an abdominal ultrasound. The governor has not said whether he'll veto the bill but said earlier that he has constitutional concerns with the measure.
Sen. Jason Rapert, R-Conway, the sponsor of the 12-week ban, said Beebe should let the measure go into law without his signature.
"I respect his opinions and what he has to do as an individual, but I believe he should honor the vote of the Legislature," Rapert told reporters after the vote.
Microsoft has told the remaining users of IE10 that it will cut off support years earlier than promised, ending security updates in January 2020.
Microsoft's decision to adopt the Chromium open-source code to power its Edge browser could mean a sooner-than-expected end to support for Internet Explorer.
Still Safari's share erosion was much less than that suffered by Microsoft's browsers, particularly IE, during the same period.

WASHINGTON, July 18 (Reuters) - If people keep gaining weight at the current rate, fat will be the norm by 2015, with 75 percent of U.S. adults overweight and 41 percent obese, U.S. researchers predicted on Wednesday.
A team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore examined 20 studies published in journals and looked at national surveys of weight and behavior for their analysis, published in the journal Epidemiologic Reviews.
“Obesity is a public health crisis. If the rate of obesity and overweight continues at this pace, by 2015, 75 percent of adults and nearly 24 percent of U.S. children and adolescents will be overweight or obese,” Dr. Youfa Wang, who led the study, said in a statement.
They defined adult overweight and obesity using a standard medical definition called body mass index. People with a BMI of 25 or above are considered overweight, while those with BMIs of 30 or above are obese and at serious risk of heart disease, diabetes and some cancers. Studies show that 66 percent of U.S. adults we...
Sixteen percent of U.S. children and adolescents are overweight and 34 percent are at risk of becoming overweight, according to federal government figures.
Every group is steadily getting heavier, Wang said.
“Our analysis showed patterns of obesity or overweight for various groups of Americans,” said May Beydoun, who worked on the study.
One-time Twitter CEO to leave the social-media company's board of directors at month's end.
OMG! One of the co-founders of social-media giant Twitter (TWTR - Get Report) is stepping down from the company's board. Twitter disclosed in an SEC filing that Evan Williams will leave the board at month's end.
Williams, 46, co-founded the San Francisco-based company with CEO Jack Dorsey and entrepreneur Christopher Isaac "Biz" Stone 13 years ago. Williams served as Twitter's CEO from July 2009 through March 2010, but is currently chief executive officer of web publisher Medium Corp. and tech-systems innovator The Obvious Cor...

In a tweet, Williams thanked both Dorsey and Stone for "starting this crazy company with me -- and continuing to make it better and better."
