iPhone 5 nitpicks: Album art not centered on Lock screen

Album art has never been perfectly centered on the iPhone or iPod touch Lock screens. It's been placed immediately on top of the slide-to-unlock bar. Because of the 3:2 aspect ratio of previous iPhone and iPod touch devices, however, and because the top of the album art and the reflection beneath it peak through the translucent time and slide-to-unlock bars, the visual weighting was close enough to appear centered and thus, balanced. Not so with the iPhone 5 and its 16:9 aspect ratio. Now the bottom alignment of album art lookes decidedly bottom heavy. Worse, there's a big black gap between the top of the album art and the bottom of the time bar.

The advantage of bottom aligning album artwork on the 16:9 display is that none of it is obscured by the name of the song, and even when you double-click the Home button to bring up the music controls, very little is obscured. The disadvantage is, in design parlance, "Oh god, my eyes, my eyes..."

So how to fix it? Placing the album art dead center wouldn't work either. There'd still be an empty black space between the top of the art and the bottom of the time bar. Butting the album art up immediately beneath the time bar, however, and filling the resulting empty space on the bottom with the traditional translucent reflection. The weighting would then be close enough to once again appear visually centered. When the Home button double-click brings up the controls, more of the top of the album art would be obscured again, but with a small tweak it wouldn't be terrible, and still better than it currently is on 3:2 devices.

Here are samples of how album art currently looks on the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5 (left and center), along with a mockup of how it would look if fixed as described above. Beneath that is what the hero pic above would look like with the fixed album art.

I hope Apple considers fixing this in iOS 6.something (and yes, I'll file a radar!)

Because, damn.

Schwarzenegger: Shriver changed tune on recall run

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Arnold Schwarzenegger says his wife, Maria Shriver, was told to "snap out of it" by her mother for her attempts to persuade him against running for California governor in 2003, a conversation that ultimately opened the door to his successful candidacy.

Eunice Shriver told her daughter that her husband would be "angry for the rest of his life" if she stopped his ambitions, Schwarzenegger writes in his new autobiography, "Total Recall: My Unbelievably True Life Story."

The former governor says in the book that he had decided against running to recall Gov. Gray Davis after his wife implored him not to for the sake of their family. Maria Shriver announced his decision to their four children.

But he writes that when Maria Shriver told her mother about her efforts to thwart Schwarzenegger's political ambitions, Eunice told her daughter that women in their family "always support the men when they want to do something." Schwarzenegger says he didn't know about the conversation at the time, but learned of it later.

Maria Shriver then softened her stance, paving the way for Schwarzenegger to announce his candidacy on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," where he says he felt most comfortable.

The announcement came after a week of wavering. Schwarzenegger says before he headed to the TV appearance, his wife handed him two pieces of paper with talking points she had written: one in case he decided to run, another in case he decided not to.

He writes that Shriver went on to become a key ally and adviser to his campaign and eventual governorship.

Schwarzenegger has often said that Maria's mother and her father, Sargent Shriver, were essential to his eventual decision to seek public office, and the most "extraordinary human beings I've ever met." But he also writes in the book that he often teased his wife that the close-knit Democratic Kennedy clan was "like a bunch of clones" because there was such conformity among them.

A spokesman for Shriver, Matthew DiGirolamo, declined to comment on the contents of the book.

"Total Recall" will officially be published next week. The Associated Press purchased an early copy.

Schwarzenegger also writes he had a "hot affair" with actress Brigitte Nielsen at a time he and Maria Shriver were dating and already living together.

Schwarzenegger and Nielsen co-starred in the 1985 film "Red Sonja." Nielsen wrote in a memoir published last year that she and Schwarzenegger had an "outrageous affair" while making the movie and that she didn't know until later that he was involved with Shriver.

In "Total Recall," Schwarzenegger writes that he knew the fling with Nielsen wouldn't last and in fact it only made him realize that he wanted to marry Shriver.

The book is part of an effort by the onetime "Mr. Universe" and Hollywood action star to rebrand himself after leaving office with a mixed record and subsequent embarrassing revelations about a fling he had with the family's housekeeper. Schwarzenegger, who fathered a son with the housekeeper, says he also let the boy down.

Schwarzenegger, 65, said he avoided telling his wife for years about the boy, who is now a teenager, even when Shriver asked him, partly because of his longtime penchant for secrecy, and his fear that the news would become public and undermine his political career. He told his wife in January 2011, when she confronted him the day after he left office.

In an interview with "60 Minutes" scheduled to air Sunday, Schwarzenegger said having sex with his housekeeper was "the stupidest thing" he ever did to his now-estranged wife and caused great pain to her and their four children. CBS aired excerpts of the interview Friday.

"I think it was the stupidest thing I've done in the whole relationship. It was terrible. I inflicted tremendous pain on Maria and unbelievable pain on the kids," Schwarzenegger tells "60 Minutes."

Schwarzenegger says he also let down the son he fathered with the housekeeper.

Shriver filed for divorce in July.

In his book, the usually ebullient Schwarzenegger admits to some loneliness, even though he packed his schedule with speeches, projects and movie-making after Shriver and the children moved out of the house. He said his career had been fun for 30 years because he shared it with Maria.

They had done everything together, he writes.

The former GOP governor also writes about a 2003 White House meeting with Karl Rove in which the top GOP strategist told him the recall would not happen and instead introduced the actor to then-national security adviser Condoleezza Rice as his pick to run for California governor in 2006.

Schwarzenegger felt snubbed.

He asks, "How could Rove have been so wrong?"

Rove's office said he was traveling Friday and could not be reached for comment.

Rice's chief of staff at Stanford University, Georgia Godfrey, said Rice cannot recall "any conversation on this subject."

"She has stated many times in the past that she has no desire to run for public office and those sentiments have still not changed," Godfrey said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.

NASA: Remnants of Ancient Streambed Found on Mars

NASA Press Release:

NASA's Curiosity rover found evidence for an ancient, flowing stream on Mars at a few sites, including the rock outcrop pictured here, which the science team has named "Hottah" after Hottah Lake in Canada?s Northwest Territories. It may look like a broken sidewalk, but this geological feature on Mars is actually exposed bedrock made up of smaller fragments cemented together, or what geologists call a sedimentary conglomerate. Scientists theorize that the bedrock was disrupted in the past, giving it the titled angle, most likely via impacts from meteorites.
The key evidence for the ancient stream comes from the size and rounded shape of the gravel in and around the bedrock. Hottah has pieces of gravel embedded in it, called clasts, up to a couple inches (few centimeters) in size and located within a matrix of sand-sized material. Some of the clasts are round in shape, leading the science team to conclude they were transported by a vigorous flow of water. The grains are too large to have been moved by wind.

This image mosaic was taken by Curiosity's 100-millimeter Mastcam telephoto lens on its 39th Martian day, or sol, of the mission (Sept. 14, 2012 PDT/Sept. 15 GMT).

Pantech Flex (AT&T)

Pantech was the first manufacturer to introduce an under-$100 smartphone?on AT&T's network earlier this year with the Pantech Burst?. That phone is now free, but Pantech has seriously upped the budget phone ante with the $49.99 Pantech Flex. With the Flex, you get a blistering dual-core processor, blazing fast LTE data speeds, and a strikingly thin, attractive design. There's also a starter mode that modifies the software for smartphone beginners. It's a tremendous value for the money, with features and performance comparable with much pricier smartphones. It's our Editors' Choice for budget smartphones on AT&T.

Design, Connectivity, and Call Quality
One thing's for sure: The Flex certainly doesn't look like a budget phone?or even a phone from Pantech, for that matter. At 5.11 by 2.63 by 0.31 inches (HWD) and 4.66 ounces, it's supermodel-thin. Made from a mix of rubberized black plastic and gray aluminum, it feels more premium than the top-of-the-line Samsung Galaxy S III .

The 4.3-inch, 960-by-540-pixel Super AMOLED display looks bright and rich, but the Pentile pixel layout means it doesn't look as crisp as the IPS LCD on the LG Escape. On-screen buttons lend the phone an ultra-minimalist look, especially when the display is off. It's very comfortable to hold, and there's plenty of room on screen to type comfortably. There's a Power button and microUSB port on the right side of the phone, a volume rocker on the left, and a 3.5mm headphone jack up top.

The Flex runs on AT&T's EDGE, HSPA+ 21, and LTE networks. There's also support for 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi. Reception is average, and the phone turned in some truly excellent data speeds. Downloads averaged 18.5Mbps, and uploads hovered around 13Mbps. That's a little faster than the LG Escape, though the Escape's data speeds were more consistent, so it's an equal tradeoff. If you take a look at our Fastest Mobile Networks?survey, you'll see that AT&T's LTE can exceed Verizon's LTE speeds, though Verizon's LTE is more consistent and covers more of the nation.

Voice quality was about average in my tests. Incoming calls sounded a little thready, with a hollow, ambient buzzing in the background. On the other end, calls made with the Flex sounded a little choppy, but good noise cancellation was able to drown out the sounds of moderate construction. The speakerphone sounds fine, but it's too low for outdoor use. Calls sounded good through a Jawbone Era?Bluetooth headset and standard Android voice dialing worked accurately. Talk time was very good, at 9 hours and 33 minutes.

Processor, Android, and Apps
Powered by a 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 processor, the Flex is super fast. It's the same chip you'll find in higher-end phones, like the Motorola Atrix HD. Benchmark scores were excellent, and this phone won't have trouble running any of the 500,000+ apps in the Google Play store for some time to come.

The Flex runs Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). There's no word yet on an update to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), but you do get to choose whether you'd like to use Pantech simplified UI, which it calls Easy Experience. ?

Little 'Mrs. Bieber,' 6, loses battle with brain cancer - TODAY ...

By Scott Stump, TODAY contributor

The 6-year-old Boston girl best known as ?Mrs. Bieber?? died Wednesday morning from the brain cancer she had battled for nearly her entire life.

TODAY

Justin Bieber and Avalanna Routh.

Avalanna Routh struck up a friendship with Justin Bieber after he heard her story and about her love of his music. The two had a Valentine?s Day date in New York in February after an online campaign and a report by WHDH came to Bieber?s attention. In 2011, a Jimmy Fund benefit helped Routh "marry" Bieber in a pretend ceremony, earning her the moniker ?Mrs. Bieber? and the popular #MrsBieber hashtag on Twitter.

A post on her official Twitter account, which has 146,000 followers, reported the news of her death, which was confirmed by multiple media outlets.

"Our darling Avalanna went to Heaven this morning. Oh Avalanna, the brightest star?-- you took our hearts with you, our greatest Love," the post read.

On their date in February, Routh declared she had "Bieber fever,?" and playfully messed with the pop star's famous hairdo. The two played board games and signed autographs for each other. In June, Bieber brought Routh onstage at the Apollo Theater.

"It?s wonderful,?? Aileen Routh, Avalanna?s?mother, told NBC News after the date in February. "It was another fun moment.?"

"That was one of the best things I have ever done," Bieber tweeted after their date. "She was AWESOME. Feeling really inspired right now."

Pets share our environment and our diseases; doctors and vets investigating risks

Published on Sep 25, 2012 - 8:37:34 AM

By: Lindsey Konkel, Environmental Health News

Sept. 25, 2012 - When Janet Riordan returned home from a vacation, she expected a storm of tail wagging and barking from her 7-year-old golden retriever, Reggie. The moment she saw him, she knew something was wrong.

"He came to me in my arms and appeared to be sobbing. I had never seen an animal behave like that," said Riordan, who lives in a suburb of Milwaukee, Wis.

A veterinarian confirmed her fears: Reggie had an aggressive form of lymphoma.

Riordan knew the toll that lymphoma could take. Four years earlier her father died of it."It was devastating,"

Riordan said. "I never thought I would lose my dad and my dog to the same disease."

Pet owners share their homes, their exercise habits and sometimes even their food with their four-legged companions. And increasingly, they are sharing the same diseases: Dogs and cats suffer from obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, thyroid disorders and asthma, just like humans.

Now researchers are examining the role that pollutants and other environmental factors may play in these dual diseases. Doctors and veterinarians have begun to work together to investigate common risk factors, such as pesticides, air pollutants, cigarette smoke and household chemicals.

"Because our pets share our environments, they are exposed to many of the same pollutants as us," said Melissa Paoloni, a veterinary oncologist at the National Cancer Institute in Maryland.

Pets, like many young children, often have higher exposures to lawn and garden pesticides and to household chemicals that can accumulate in dust or on carpets.

Scientific research is beginning to reveal some links between their environment and their health. Lawn care chemicals may increase the risk of canine lymphoma and bladder cancer. Cats exposed to flame retardants have a higher rate of thyroid disease, according to one study. And researchers are launching the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, the largest project ever to tackle disease prevention and treatment in dogs.

"People are beginning to realize the untapped resource that companion animals present for research in human health," said Rodney Page, director of the Colorado State University's Animal Cancer Center.

Studies in pets can never replace studies in humans, but they can present corroborating evidence. Linking pollutants to human health effects can prove controversial, "but if we can find the same links in dogs or cats, that can have a powerful effect," said John Reif, a Colorado State University veterinarian and epidemiologist. "It's one more piece of evidence that the link is a real one."

Riordan will never know what caused Reggie's lymphoma. Golden retrievers generally have a high rate of cancer, most likely for genetic reasons. But some research suggests that environmental chemicals may play a role in the development of lymphoma in dogs.

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts and the Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine questioned the owners of more than 700 dogs about use of pesticides. Roughly one-third of the dogs had been diagnosed with canine malignant lymphoma, while the other two-thirds had either benign tumors or were undergoing non-cancer surgeries.

Dogs whose owners reported use of professionally applied lawn pesticides were 70 percent more likely to have lymphoma, according to the study published in the journal Environmental Research in January.

Dogs also were at higher risk of lymphoma if their owners used self-applied insect growth regulators on their yards, such as Nylar, Precor and Gentrol, which control cockroaches, fleas and other pests. However, dogs exposed to flea powders, sprays and on-spot treatments were no more likely to develop lymphoma than those whose owners did not use them,

In addition, Scottish terriers exposed to certain herbicides, including the common weed killer 2,4-D, were more than four times likely to develop bladder cancer than those whose yards were untreated, according to a 2004 study by Purdue University veterinarians.

Results of other studies have been mixed, with some showing an increased lymphoma risk in pets exposed to lawn chemicals and others finding no link.

Malignant lymphoma in dogs closely resembles non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. More than 60,000 Americans a year are diagnosed with the disease, making it the sixth most common cancer in the United States.

"The close interaction and shared household environments of dogs and their human owners provides a unique opportunity for evaluating how herbicide and pesticide exposure may contribute to human non-Hodgkin's lymphoma," the study authors wrote.

Pesticides may increase the risk of the disease in people, too. Last year, Danish researchers found that people with high levels of DDT and other organochlorine pesticides were more likely to develop non-Hodgkin's lymphoma years later.

"Clearly dogs are not humans, but physiologically speaking, they are very similar," said Lisa Barber, a veterinary oncologist at Tufts University and study author.

"The most heartbreaking thing is their short lifespan. It's also what makes them useful models for human disease," she said. Because dogs live accelerated lives compared with humans, researchers can gather information on a lifetime of exposure much more quickly than in people.

Using animals as sentinels for human health is not a new concept. More than 100 years ago, miners took caged canaries into coal mines to warn them of toxic gases.

In the 1950s, thousands of people in Japan died or suffered serious effects from eating mercury-poisoned fish from Minamata Bay. Locals had first noticed strange neurological symptoms in cats, which they described as dancing in the streets before collapsing and dying.

Pets also played an important role in drawing a link between asbestos and mesothelioma. In the 1980s, researchers found high levels of asbestos fibers in the lungs of pet dogs diagnosed with the lung disease. The finding helped increase understanding of the threats that asbestos posed to people, said Reif from Colorado State.

More recently, researchers have found that ozone, the main ingredient of smog, may contribute to asthma in cats, and household tobacco smoke may be a risk factor for nose, throat and lung cancers in dogs.

A rise in hyperthyroidism in cats also has been linked to brominated flame retardants, which are used in upholstery and electronics and contaminate dust and canned cat foods. Cats with overactive thyroids ? which can lead to weight loss, increased appetite, hyperactivity and death ? had higher blood levels of the chemicals, according to one small study led by Environmental Protection Agency scientists.

Because of their meticulous grooming habits, cats may ingest a lot of dust. The link to hyperthyroidism in felines "should be alarming to parents of crawling toddlers who explore their environments by putting everything in their mouths," said Donna Mensching, veterinary medical director of the Washington Poison Center in Seattle.

Toddlers with high exposure to the flame retardants have lower IQs, according to one study. The chemicals also have been linked to altered thyroid hormones in pregnant women, which might harm a baby's brain development.

Looking at the way environmental pollutants might interact with genetics in animal breeds susceptible to certain diseases may benefit human health as well.

"We know something about their breed history and susceptibility to certain diseases, which may make it easier to tease out gene-environment interactions," said Dr. Robert A. Hiatt, an epidemiologist at the University of San Francisco and a former family physician.

The functions of certain genes are very similar in dogs and humans, according to Hiatt. "What we learn from pets may also be applicable to humans," he said.

One of many questions the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study aims to address is how environmental chemicals may interact with genes in a breed that is susceptible to health problems. An estimated 60 percent of golden retrievers die from cancer, according to the Morris Animal Foundation, a nonprofit group that is funding the study. As a breed, they may be genetically susceptible, regardless of what chemicals they may have been exposed to.

The nationwide study will enroll 3,000 young golden retrievers and follow them through their entire lives. Page, one of the lead investigators, likens it to the Nurse's Health Study, one of the longest running women's health studies in the country.

"The opportunity will be quite seminal and transformative in terms of exposure science, because it will offer a new set of data with which to evaluate similarities with human exposure data," Page said.

This research also may help experts develop treatments for diseases.

"We can cure anything in a mouse, but so many times new drugs fail miserably when taken straight from lab animals to human trials," said Heather Wilson-Robles, a veterinary oncologist at Texas A&M University.

Dogs and cats develop diseases spontaneously for many of the same reasons people do, which means experts can predict from pets how a new drug may act in humans. "Mouse models are really important in the development of new treatments, but we are skipping a step when we take a drug from lab animals to humans without first looking to our veterinary patients," Wilson-Robles said.

In Reggie's case, Riordan and her vet looked first to human studies to form a treatment plan. He received chemotherapy and experimental high-dose vitamin C injections, a treatment that Riordan had uncovered while researching options for her father. "We thought if it worked in humans, it might work for dogs," she said.

In February, less than two months after being diagnosed with canine lymphoma, Reggie died.

Riordan wasn't aware of the link between lawn-care products and lymphoma in dogs, but, she said, "we were always really careful about chemicals. We don't use pesticides in our yard or a lot of chemicals in the house."

While Riordan hopes researchers may one day be able to prevent dogs like Reggie from getting cancer, she knows tragedy comes with pet ownership. "We love them so much that even if they don't die of cancer, they will ultimately break our hearts," she said.
