1985: English teams banned after Heysel The Football Association has banned English clubs from playing in Europe following the Heysel stadium tragedy two days ago in which 39 fans died. The Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, supported the ban which was announced by FA officials outside Number 10 Downing Street and called for tougher sentences on convicted football hooligans. "We have to get the game cleaned up from this hooliganism at home and then perhaps we shall be able to go overseas again," she said. Last Wednesday evening, 39 people died and more than 400 were injured when a wall collapsed at the stadium in Brussels during violent riots just before the European cup final between Liverpool and Juventus (Turin). We have to get the game cleaned up from this hooliganism at home and then perhaps we shall be able to go overseas again Margaret Thatcher The match went ahead despite the tragedy and Juventus won 1-0. The ban, decided after the return from Mexico of FA chairman Bert Millichip and secretary Ted Croker, will affect Everton, Manchester United, Liverpool, Norwich City, Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton. They are all due to compete in major contests next season. "It is now up to English football to put its house in order," said Mr Croker outside Number 10. Mr Millichip acknowledged the ban was a pre-emptive move and that Uefa (the Union of European Football Associations) would have imposed it anyway. "It was very important that the FA took positive action and immediately," he said, saying it was the most difficult decision he had ever had to take. The Labour leader of the Opposition, Neil Kinnock, said the ban of English teams would only benefit those who caused the "murderous riot" in Belgium. The Football League which was not consulted is also opposed to the decision. The Belgian government has already banned all British clubs from its territory until further notice. Liverpool, whose fans were blamed for much of the violence, had decided to pull out of next season's Uefa cup competition before the FA announcement.

President Barack Obama Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States. His story is the American story -- values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others. Barack H. Obama is the 44th President of the United States. His story is the American story — values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others. With a father from Kenya and a mother from Kansas, President Obama was born in Hawaii on August 4, 1961. He was raised with help from his grandfather, who served in Patton's army, and his grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle management at a bank. After working his way through college with the help of scholarships and student loans, President Obama moved to Chicago, where he worked with a group of churches to help rebuild communities devastated by the closure of local steel plants. He went on to attend law school, where he became the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review. Upon graduation, he returned to Chicago to help lead a voter registration drive, teach constitutional law at the University of Chicago, and remain active in his community. President Obama's years of public service are based around his unwavering belief in the ability to unite people around a politics of purpose. In the Illinois State Senate, he passed the first major ethics reform in 25 years, cut taxes for working families, and expanded health care for children and their parents. As a United States Senator, he reached across the aisle to pass groundbreaking lobbying reform, lock up the world's most dangerous weapons, and bring transparency to government by putting federal spending online. He was elected the 44th President of the United States on November 4, 2008, and sworn in on January 20, 2009. He and his wife, Michelle, are the proud parents of two daughters, Malia and Sasha.

Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Oil slicks in South China Sea 'not from missing jet', officials say More than two days after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 went missing, the final minutes before its disappearance remain a mystery The oil slicks found off the coast of Malaysia during the search for Flight MH370 were not caused by the missing jet, authorities have said. Laboratory analysis on the oil, which was first spotted on Saturday night, found that it had nothing to do with the Malaysia Airlines jet that disappeared almost three days ago, Malaysian officials have confirmed. Earlier the crew from a Vietnamese jet reported seeing a " possible life raft" floating in the sea around 250 miles off the country's southern coast, only for search and rescue helicopters to later find it was no more than "a moss-covered cap of cable reel". Speaking at a press conference in Kuala Lumpur this morning, the director-general of Malaysia's Civil Aviation body, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, said officials were still struggling with an " unprecedented aviation mystery". "Unfortunately we have not found anything that appears to be objects from the aircraft, let alone the aircraft," he said. "As far as we are concerned, we have to find the aircraft, we have to find a piece of the aircraft if possible." As authorities dismiss each potential clue to the whereabouts of the missing Boeing 777, attention has increasingly turned to the identities of the two passengers confirmed to be travelling on stolen European passports. This afternoon Malaysian officials said both the men had " non-Asian" features - contradicting previous suggestions otherwise from the country's interior minister. Asked to explain what he meant, Mr Rahman said they looked like the Italian footballer Mario Balotelli, but refused to elaborate further. Police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said that one has now been identified, but that he could not reveal his identity beyond confirming that he was not Malaysian. Mr Rahman also said that five passengers who checked in for the flight but who did not board, had had their luggage removed and checked. Nothing untoward was found. Almost three days after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 went missing, the final minutes before its disappearance remain a mystery. The plane lost contact with ground controllers somewhere between Malaysia and Vietnam. Read more: Investigators focus on CCTV for clues There are some slightly less nefarious reasons for flying on a stolen passport Search for missing Boeing 777 reveals two oil slicks in the Gulf of Thailand Malaysian military officials said on Sunday that the plane, a Boeing 777-200ER, may have turned back from its scheduled route shortly before vanishing from radar screens. Mr Rahman said officials had set no time-frame for the search and referred to the search for Air France flight 447 which went missing in 2009 on route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, killing all 228 aboard. It took investigators two years to locate the black box recorders and three years to piece together what happened. A report eventually blamed a combination of technical failure and pilot error. "The experts have said this is a very big area for us to cover," Mr Rahman said of the area currently being searched. "We all have to work together to find this aircraft... It will take as long as it takes to find the aircraft." Family members comfort Chrisman Siregar (left) and his wife Herlina Panjaitan, the parents of Firman Siregar, one of the Indonesian citizens thought to have boarded the Malaysia Airlines jetliner A total of 34 aircraft and 40 ships from Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, Singapore, Indonesia, China and the United States have been deployed to the area where ground controllers lost contact with the plane, the maritime border between Malaysia and Vietnam. Of the 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board, two-thirds were Chinese, while the rest were from elsewhere in Asia, Europe and North America. Five Indians were among the passengers. The thefts of the two passports - one belonging to Austrian Christian Kozel and the other to Luigi Maraldi of Italy - were entered into Interpol's database after they were stolen in Thailand in 2012 and last year, the police body said. But no authorities in Malaysia or elsewhere checked the passports against the database of 40 million stolen or lost travel documents before the Malaysia Airlines plane took off. Meanwhile, Malaysia Airlines said it was working to provide relatives of those on board the flight visas and flights to enable them to travel to Kuala Lumpur, if they wished. "Malaysia Airlines' primary focus at this point in time is to care for the families," it said in a statement. "This means providing them with timely information, travel facilities, accommodation, meals, medical and emotional support. The costs for these are all borne by Malaysia Airlines."

MH370: Malaysia declares flight disappearance an accident The Malaysian government has officially declared the disappearance of Malaysian Airline flight MH370 an accident and says there were no survivors. No trace of the Beijing-bound aircraft has been found since it disappeared on 8 March 2014. Officials say that the recovery operation is ongoing but that the 239 people onboard are now presumed dead. The plane's whereabouts are still unknown despite a massive international search in the southern Indian Ocean. The declaration on Thursday should allow compensation payments to relatives of the victims. 'Deepest sorrow' Malaysian officials said that the recovery of the missing aircraft remained a priority and that they had pursued "every credible lead". Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) Director-General Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said that it was "with the heaviest heart and deepest sorrow that we officially declare Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 an accident.'' All 239 of the passengers and crew onboard MH370 are presumed to have lost their lives," he said. Following Thursday's announcement, China's foreign ministry called for compensation for the victims' families. "We call on the Malaysian side to honour the promise made when they declared the flight to have been lost and earnestly fulfil their compensation responsibilities," spokeswoman Hua Chunying said in a statement. The majority of the passengers on MH370 were Chinese. Despite Thursday's announcement, the Malaysian authorities are not ruling out foul play, reports the BBC's transport correspondent Richard Westcott. He says it is a legal move designed to help families claim compensation. Declaring the missing plane an accident should help unlock compensation paym Malaysia Airlines said they would be contacting the families to proceed with the compensation process. But in China, some family members refused to accept the official position that the plane was lost. "They have found nothing," said Li Jingxin whose brother is missing. "With nothing found, how can they make any announcement?'' He told the Associated Press news agency that his family would not accept compensation from the airline at this time. Analysis: Jennifer Pak, BBC News, Kuala Lumpur In a pre-recorded statement on national TV, the Malaysian authorities announced that the disappearance of flight MH370 was an accident and that there were no survivors. But some families were upset that the government decided on the fate of their loved ones without any concrete evidence. Others complained on social media that the authorities should have informed the families before making the announcement. Ten months on, it is clear that the Malaysian government is struggling to rebuild trust with families of the victims. Many have refused to begin the compensation process, worrying that if they do then officials will stop searching for the plane. However, Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai says the governments of Malaysia, China and Australia remain firmly committed to the ongoing search. 'No evidence' Four vessels are currently searching the seafloor with specialised sonar technology in a remote stretch of ocean where the plane is believed to have ended its flight. Based on analysis of satellite and aircraft performance data, MH370 is thought to be in seas far west of the Australian city of Perth. The DCA plans to release an interim report on its crash investigation on 7 March.

Top Soccer Leagues Get 25% Rise in TV Rights Sales, Report Says Nov. 11 (Bloomberg) -- Growth in television rights deals in Germany and England lifted broadcast revenues of Europe's top five soccer leagues 25 percent to a combined 5 billion euros ($6.7 billion) a season, according to a report. TV Sports Markets, an information provider for broadcasters and sports organizations, said in its Football Media Money League report that the latest cycle of rights sales through 2016 in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain added 1 billion euros a season to the previous three-year period. "League football remains the most sought-after media content in the world and all the indications are that broadcaster appetite for the sport at elite level shows no sign of diminishing," Frank Dunne, Editor of TV Sports Markets, said in an e-mailed statement. Demand for soccer broadcasting was underlined two days ago when BT Group Plc said it's paying about 900 million pounds ($1.44 billion) for exclusive three-year U.K. live rights for the Champions League and Europa League from 2015-18. The deal is worth worth more than double the current arrangement with British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc and ITV Plc, the British Broadcasting Corp said. Sky said BT's bid was "far in excess" of its own valuation. England's Premier League generates 2.2 billion euros a year in domestic and international television rights sales, more than double the 975 million euros earned by second-ranked Italy's Serie A, according to the TV Sports Markets report. Bundesliga Rights While the German Bundesliga's rights sales of 541 million euros per season is the lowest of the five leagues, the 54 percent rise in its domestic contract is bettered only by the Premier League's 63 percent jump. England's elite competition is in the first season of a three-year agreement with BSkyB and BT Group worth 3.02 billion pounds. The Bundesliga's TV income will grow to 674 million euros per season from 2015, the report said. "The domestic rights in German football have historically been low because of the lack of competition in the German pay-TV market," Dunne said. "Only in the most recent deal, when Deutsche Telekom looked like being a genuine rival, was Sky Deutschland forced to up its price." Spain's Primera Division ranked third, generating 70 million euros more than the 710 million euros made by France's Ligue 1. The Spanish league is the only one of the five competitions which doesn't sell its rights collectively. Real, Barca As a result Real Madrid and Barcelona, its two biggest teams, secure more money from television rights than rivals in other countries. Real earned a combined 178.4 million euros, about 3 million euros more than Barca, from the sale of TV rights to league, domestic cup and European Champions League matches, according to the report. "The two Spanish clubs have benefited in recent years from strong performances in the Champions League," said Dunne. "But their real advantage over clubs in the rest of Europe is down to the system of individual selling of media rights by La Liga clubs, which guarantees them the lion's share of the earnings from their domestic broadcast deals." The arrangement also gives them an advantage when it comes to new regulations introduced by European soccer body UEFA that seek to stop clubs from spending beyond their means. According to accountant Deloitte LLP, the Spanish duo rank first and second in total soccer income, with nine-time European champion Real leading with 512.6 million euros during the 2011-12 season. Turnover Equals Talent "Financial fair play is predicated on the fact the teams with highest turnover will be able to spend the most on labor," Sean Hamil, director of the University of London's Birkbeck Sport Business Centre, said in a telephone interview. "If you're one of the most-popular clubs and you're able to sell your own broadcasting rights you'll have higher turnover." Collective selling still has its benefits, according to Hamil, as seen in the success of the Premier League, where champion Manchester United got 20 million pounds more than the 40 million pounds paid to last-place Queens Park Rangers. More equitable distribution means that "one club can beat another on any given day," Hamil said. Barca and Real's TV income accounts for about half of the Primera Division's total. Access to the Champions League helped Italy's Juventus and AC Milan, with 154 million euros and 124 million euros respectively, secure the third and fourth highest TV incomes for individual clubs, according to the Football Media Money League report. The teams benefited from a performance-based pay structure and a share of the TV rights payments made by broadcasters in the clubs' home markets. Manchester United has the most TV income among English clubs, getting 108 million euros last season, the report said. That's 1 million euros more than Europa League holders Chelsea received.

Samsung's Galaxy S5 has an 'ultra power saving' mode to maximize battery life Samsung's new Galaxy S5 doesn't skimp on battery power, with an expected 10 hours of web browsing and 12 hours of video playback on a single charge.

Michelle Obama Derided For Being A 'Feminist Nightmare' Politico Magazine's cover story declares Michelle Obama "a feminist nightmare," a label no doubt intended to stir up controversy in feminist circles. Politico's premise is that Michelle Obama, despite her high-powered corporate law background, has "leaned out" by failing to engage on policy. Instead, writer Michelle Cottle scoffs, "the Ivy-educated, blue-chip law firm-trained first lady" has embraced "safely, soothingly domestic causes" like "gardening" and "clean drinking water." This dismissal of Mrs. Obama's "gardening" ignores the fact that the First Lady is virtually the only person in the Obama administration to address one of the biggest public health crises to ever face the U.S. The American obesity epidemic threatens long-lasting implications for future inequality, mobility, labor, and economic productivity. Obama's signature campaign, "Let's Move," has hardly been as combative as it could be, yet it is responsible for some of the most meaningful federal action on childhood obesity in years. Obama was instrumental in enacting child nutrition reforms in 2010, giving the U.S. Department of Agriculture the power to set nutritional standards for food sold in schools and increased funding for nutritious meals for low-income children. That initiative has also proven deeply controversial, as many conservatives complain that standards are too tough and that kids won't eat healthier food. So why is this wide-reaching policy initiative so cavalierly written off as a "soothingly domestic cause"? The Politico screed follows a cultural arithmetic that devalues certain kinds of labor as "women's work." Traditionally, domestic and child-related fields like teaching, cooking, housekeeping, childcare, nursing, and, yes, gardening, are considered women's work. Studies show this label does not merely hurt prestige; female-dominated professions are consistently paid less than male-dominated jobs like manufacturing, engineering or financial services. These biases have nothing to do with the actual value of the labor. For instance, one of the most well-paid and male-dominated field today, computer programming, was mocked as women's work for decades, until male programmers made a conscious choice to increase the prestige of their field by squeezing women out of jobs. Under our macho metric of success, Obama's past work as a hospital executive and board member for a food corporation is approvingly termed "high-powered," but continuing to work on public health issues through national outreach and child advocacy is a descent into the realm of complacent wives and moms. Indeed, Obama often endures mocking in the press as a typical mom nagging kids to eat their vegetables, even as she advances nutrition policies for millions of children. Cottle wishes, without going into much detail, that Obama would speak out on "a variety of tough issues" and perhaps "focus a spotlight on the myriad problems eating away at minority communities." Of course, childhood obesity and access to healthy food are crises almost entirely confined to impoverished minority communities. Nearly 40 percent of black and Latino children are obese, compared to 27 percent of their white peers. Poor children of any race are nearly twice as likely to be obese, and rarely have access to the nutrients they need. The vast majority of children who have benefited from Obama's school lunch reform are black, Latino, and Native American. These students rely on subsidized or free school meals, which are sometimes the only food a child will eat that day. Food insecurity also takes a toll on students' academic performance, but research shows school lunch programs can actually reverse that damage. Obama has also faced daunting opponents in her crusade; Big Food has circumvented her efforts at every opportunity. Obama has become somewhat more aggressive in calling out junk food companies for marketing their products to children of color. In the past, she's demanded that processed food corporations like Kraft and General Mills "entirely rethink" their products "so that they have less fat, salt, and sugar, and more of the nutrients that our kids need." She's also pressured Walmart into publicly agreeing to stock more organic and locally-sourced foods and open more stores in food deserts (a corporate partnership that has yielded a mixed bag). After five years of Obama's advocacy, childhood obesity rates are beginning to drop for the first time ever. The First Lady may not be able to take full credit for this monumental change, but her highly visible campaigns have at the very least helped spark serious conversation about the obesity epidemic. But to reduce the only serious federal attempt to curb obesity to the trivial distractions of a "mom-in-chief" is to tell millions of poor women and children their plight is not worth fighting for.

ParisAttacks2015_(4)

Paris Terror Attacks: Yes, Parisians are traumatised, but the spirit of resistance still lingers The shutters were down in shops and businesses across central Paris. At those restaurants and cafes which did open to sparse groups of customers, there was an eerie solemnity. Muted by shock and sadness, the French capital yesterday woke to the reality of 128 people dead and the challenge of how to respond to the deadliest attack on France since the second world war. Sirens wailed in half-empty streets as doctors battled to save the most critical cases among more than 200 injured and put out an urgent call for donations of blood and organs. The scale of the carnage also meant that many people were still frantically seeking news of missing loved ones hours after the attacks ended and all eight gunmen and suicide bombers were dead. One social media post read: "Waleed is missing. We last contacted him at the match. Please share & contact me if u have any info. #rechercheParis". Another said: "I've been looking for my cousin since last night ... He's 25 and I'm 75. He's called Younes. #rechercheParis." The pleas illustrated poignantly how the attackers cut a swath through all of Paris society, without respect for age, race, religion or nationality. Among France's Muslims there was both mourning and worry that the acts of a handful of fanatics would be seen as representative of their religion. After a night of carnage and chaos at six spots across the city's heart, President Francois Hollande declared a state of emergency and said the attacks were an "act of war" perpetrated by Islamic State. The president urged people to stay indoors yesterday. Not everyone heeded his call, however. At the Georges Pompidou hospital a long queue of people snaked around the foyer. "They are waiting to give blood," said Dr Philippe Juvin, head of emergency services at the hospital. "They have just come without being asked, spontaneously." One donor, 29-year-old William Haddad, who lives near Le Carillon, where 14 people were gunned down, said: "I am in good shape and so I can give blood. It's the least I can do to help. We have to help, to have this sense of belonging." For his part, Juvin looked exhausted, having worked throughout the night, grabbing two hours' sleep after dawn still wearing his creased white coat. On Friday night the hospital went into 'Plan White, he said. "It was very rapid, a call, the ambulances, then we had 50 to 60 people with gunshot wounds arriving. I have never experienced anything like it, but we are coping. We have been training for something like this. The response was astonishing. Doctors from all over turned up to offer help." In reception, a woman was sobbing, having heard that her boyfriend had suffered devastating abdominal injuries. "My love. Why did this happen?" she screamed, as her parents tried to wrap their arms round her. A nurse stood by in tears. "We are very aware that many will be in trauma," added Juvin. "We had a psychiatrist here last night and another will come later today. We have to treat both the physical and the psychological injuries." Yesterday afternoon, mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, announced that she had opened a psychological support group for Parisians. The trauma was felt even by those not directly caught up in the attacks. Lucille Simon, 24, had to stay at a friend's house because her apartment was near the Bataclan concert venue and was sealed off. "I am terrified. You don't feel safe any more in Paris. I like living here. Even after Charlie Hebdo things returned to normal, but I'm starting to wonder maybe I should move. I'm frightened to go out in the street alone." The situation was summed up by Mandy Gilman, a New Yorker who has lived in the city for 26 years. "It is morose. But we have a spirit of calm in such times and Parisians will never be defeated by this. I still feel safer in Paris than in New York. This is the world we live in now, and this can happen everywhere."

Premiership in new £625m TV deal The winner of football's Premiership will net £50m from next season after the league agreed a new £625m deal for overseas television rights. The extra income from the deal means even the team finishing bottom will claim about £26m. Current title holders Chelsea won £30m last season. The money adds to income from domestic broadcast and internet contracts. "This deal really does take us on to another level," said Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore. Overseas appeal The new contract covers coverage of the 2007/8, 2008/9 and 2009/10 seasons in 208 countries worldwide. The £625m raised is double that from existing overseas television deals and takes the Premiership's earnings from media rights over the three seasons to more than £2.7bn. Mr Scudamore said the largest increase in payments for rights had been in the Middle East and in Asia, with the battle to show live games particularly fierce in Hong Kong. "We have a cosmopolitan approach to players and a cosmopolitan approach to ownership and that is paying off," he said. "No territories have gone down but in some cases the rights have ended up being sold for three or four times the current amount." Rights divided BSkyB and Setanta are sharing the domestic television rights for Premiership matches from next season. The rivals were successful bidders in an auction to show top-flight games, beginning in the 2007/8 season. The domestic TV rights auction generated £1.7bn ($3.1bn) for the Premier League, with BSkyB paying £1.3bn for its four packages of games and Setanta £392m for its two. Setanta broke Sky's monopoly and has rights to 46 live matches a season, while BSkyB has won the rights to 92 live matches, including the "A" package of games on late Sunday afternoons. The Premiership's appeal overseas has gone from strength to strength, thanks to high-profile players and the league's reputation for excitement. "By focusing on the quality of the game, their players and their grounds, the clubs have produced a competition that people want to watch - both at matches and at home," added Mr Scudamore. "That is the basis of our commercial success and I am confident that we will continue to invest in the best players and facilities to keep the Premier League where it is today - the most watched domestic football competition in the world." 606 DEBATE: The cash keeps coming but what's the cost for English football? BBC sports editor Mihir Bose said that the big winners of the new deal would be top-flight players and their agents, with supporters and lower league sides unlikely to see any real benefits. Richard Hunter, of Hargreaves Lansdown Stockbrokers, added that extra money for the Premiership could potentially widen the gap between the top flight and the Championship. "If you have the teams who are getting relegated from the Premiership pocketing £30m then in modern day terms that equates to three to five top players," he told BBC News 24. "Presumably, if they can replace half their team, that gives them a very good chance of getting promoted again and the gap between the Premiership and the Championship may become wider."

Man City beat Chelsea to Robinho Manchester City have beaten Chelsea to the signing of Brazilian forward Robinho from Real Madrid for a British record transfer fee of about £32.5m. Chelsea had been chasing the 24-year-old but City have captured him on a four-year deal with a late bid. "I am absolutely delighted to get the opportunity to work with such an incredible talent like Robinho," City boss Mark Hughes told the club website. "This is a real statement of intent as to the ambitions of this club." After missing out on Robinho, Chelsea issued a statement saying they were unable to agree a deal with Real as they were not prepared to pay the Spanish club's asking price. City made the audacious attempt to sign Robinho on transfer deadline day after earlier agreeing to a takeover by the Abu Dhabi United Group. Hughes added: "I have said that in order to compete with the best teams in the Premier League we have to be in the market for players of this calibre, and Robinho is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world. "I am really looking forward to introducing him to the rest of the squad, and to the City fans at the earliest opportunity." Real Madid president Ramon Calderon said Robinho, who called a news conference on Sunday stating again his desire to leave the Bernabeu club, had broken down in tears as he pleaded for a move. Robinho appears to have been unhappy with Real and their willingness to sell him to fund a failed move to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United. "We have sold Robinho for reasons of a human nature and for sporting reasons," Calderon told Spanish television station Veo. "The fact that he has accepted an offer from Manchester City says that he is not going for sporting reasons. "It's an important sum of money. It's not the objective of Real Madrid to sell players, neither do we need the money, but for reasons of human and sporting nature, it has been decided this is for the best. "It's a decision agreed by all the coaching staff, who understand it is best for the player and for the club. "(Coach Bernd) Schuster thought until yesterday that he could recover the player, but that has not been the case. "Every time I have spoken with him he was very sad, crying and asking to leave Spain. Real Madrid are more important than any one player. "He's a great kid, but badly advised." Chelsea had been favourites to sign Robinho but Real apparently refused to sanction a switch for him to join them as they were upset at the Stamford Bridge club's conduct in the matter. Robinho could now make his debut for City in their next league game, which is ironically against Chelsea on 13 September. He joins up with fellow Brazilian Jo at City after he moved to the club from CSKA Moscow. Robinho is a regular in the Brazil side and helped Santos win their first league title as an 18-year-old in 2002. He drew comparisons with Brazilian legend Pele and joined Real from Santos in August 2005 after pressing for a move. Robinho struggled in his first season but won the Spanish title under coach Fabio Capello in 2007. A player with pace and trickery, he came into his own last season when he scored 11 goals in 32 outings to help Real to a second successive La Liga crown. He was also top scorer with six goals when Brazil won the 2007 Copa America.

Samsung Galaxy S5 review: a solid improvement, but don't rush to upgrade When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S5 and a trio of Gear smartwatches, the company made a big to-do about how it listens to its customers. We know, we know: Every company's supposed to be doing that. But remember, this is Samsung we're talking about. It dominates the Android market by such a wide margin that it makes rivals like LG and HTC look like quaint startups. Put it another way: Samsung could release a phone with no improvements, and it'd still sell millions. At least, that's how it used to be. The smartphone market has seen a downturn of late and even mighty Samsung has been affected. Sales are down, and the manufacturer must now make phones that give people what they actually want (shocker, we know). So what can we expect from a humbled Samsung? A durable phone that brings a toned-down TouchWiz UI, a better camera, longer battery life, improved performance, a fingerprint scanner and enhanced health tracking. I received an unlocked review unit from GSM Nation, which was the first outlet to start shipping the phone in the US with AT&T- and T-Mobile-compatible LTE. Now that I've been testing it for a few days, let's see if the Galaxy S5 lives up to all those promises. Samsung Galaxy S5 Pros Fantastic display Daylight images are on par with other flagship phones Waterproof casing and improved design Good battery life Cons Fingerprint scanner can be frustrating Selective focus doesn't always work as promised Heart rate monitor isn't completely accurate TouchWiz UI looks better, but is still confusing Summary The S5 is a solid upgrade over last year's model, with improvements to the hardware, software and camera. However, certain headline features like the fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor are mediocre at best. Chances are, you'll be happy with the phone, but don't fork out the extra cash for an early upgrade. If you've seen one Galaxy S device, you've seen 'em all. Each iteration of the popular smartphone series has had a few nips and tucks, but overall it's maintained the same look over the years. The S5 is no exception: The only new features here are its squarish shape and its plastic, waterproof casing -- dimpled to look sort of like leather (it doesn't really). Even then, you can tell at a glance that it's a Galaxy S. If there's one word we'd use to describe the Galaxy S5 design, it's "inoffensive." It's not exactly a visual treat like the new HTC One M8, but it's not ugly either. And that's not surprising, really: Samsung usually plays it safe with its designs. This time around, I've heard plenty of jokes referring to the GS5 as the "Band-Aid Phone," a nod to those dimples on the back. Truly, though, I only see that in certain colors, especially the gold version. Fortunately, my white unit doesn't look like a Band-Aid at all; in fact, I prefer it to the glossy covers used on the GS3 and GS4. Indeed, there's something to having a less slippery design: I was able to grip the 8.1mm-thick phone without feeling like it was going to slip through my fingers. In particular, the blunt edges and mostly flat back make it easy to wrap your fingers around the device. And that's a good thing, since the GS5 is larger than its predecessor in every way (5mm taller, almost 3mm wider and 0.2mm thicker). In other words, if you thought the GS4 was too large, this year's version may be too much. It's also 0.52 ounce (15g) heavier, but I only noticed the difference when I was holding one device in each hand. And besides, by modern-day standards it's compact: Compared to the One M8, the GS5 is shorter, thinner and lighter, and that's with a slightly larger screen, too. I mentioned earlier that the GS5 is waterproof. More specifically, it's IP67-certified, which means it can be immersed in up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. But before you decide to take it for a swim, make sure to close the back using the rubber gasket and seal the charging port. Curiously, the headphone jack is completely open, but somehow is impervious to water. There are only a few changes to the button layout, compared to last year's GS4. The power button and volume rocker are still on the right and left, respectively. There's now a micro-USB 3.0/MHL 2.0 port on the bottom, which is protected by a waterproof tab. The IR blaster, meanwhile, sits on the top left, with the 3.5mm headphone jack over on the top right. Additionally, the home button now includes a capacitive fingerprint sensor, which I'll discuss in more detail later on. Around back you'll find the small speaker grille, but the biggest change can be found farther up: Samsung installed a heart rate monitor next to the LED flash, just underneath the rear camera. As ever, Samsung included a removable back cover and a swappable battery, with a capacity of 2,800mAh (up from 2,600mAh). There's also a microSD slot for up to 128GB of external storage. Out of the box, you get either 16GB or 32GB of built-in storage; just remember that the operating system takes up a lot of space before you even get around to installing apps or downloading movies. In fact, my 16GB unit had a little under 12GB of space when I started using it, so if you're even slightly concerned about storing large files, I recommend going with the 32GB model or buying a big memory card to compensate. I won't spend a lot of time on connectivity because it will ultimately vary depending on where you live and which carrier you use (that last bit is particularly true in the US). That said, most variants feature quad-band GSM/EDGE, quad-band HSPA+ 42.2 Mbps (850/900/1900/2100) and LTE Cat 4 (which offers speeds of up to 150 Mbps). The GS5 also supports carrier aggregation, which basically means that it can fuse together LTE from different towers to increase your data speeds. But again, this will largely depend on whether your carrier even supports that technology. Finally, you'll also get Bluetooth 4.0 + LE, GPS/GLONASS, DLNA, USB OTG, MHL 2.0 and WiFi Direct. There's also dual-band WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, but the GS5 is the first phone that we've seen with two-channel MIMO support. In English, it includes an extra antenna, with which you could theoretically double your speed -- provided you have the right kind of supporting equipment, of course. Oh, and while I'm on the subject of speed, most versions of the GS5 come with a new feature called Download Booster, which essentially combines the power of LTE, WiFi and Grayskull to help large files download faster than they would on any one connection. The service won't work on anything smaller than 30MB, and doesn't apply to certain protocols like FTP and UDP. But if you're trying to install an app, load a YouTube video or save a movie your cousin shared with you on Facebook, Download Booster should do the trick. If you don't have an unlimited data plan, however, be very careful about how often you use this -- if you're not keeping tabs on your usage, your next bill might give you an aneurysm. Display The S5's 5.1-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display has the same resolution as last year's flagship despite the larger size screen. Yes, pixel-density snobs, that means you're subjected to nine fewer pixels per inch (441 vs. 432). In any case, those nine pixels were worth the sacrifice: The display here is a surprising improvement over the S4. The difference is easy enough to see with the naked eye, especially when you put the two devices side by side. For starters, the S5 is much brighter than the S4, not only indoors, but also in direct sunlight (with auto-brightness turned on, the display goes up to around 450 nits). At the same time, it's also capable of dimming down to as low as two nits in pitch-black rooms. This makes for a more comfortable viewing experience when you're reading in a dark bedroom or (tsk, tsk) catching up on Facebook during a movie. The viewing angles have improved significantly as well: Even from a severe angle, the colors are more lifelike, and it's easier to read onscreen text. Admittedly, the HTC One M8's S-LCD panel does a better job with whites and darks, although the GS5 offers more color saturation (and it's not even over-the-top saturation this time, either). As you can see, I'm being rather nitpicky here, but I believe most users will be happy with either display. And if you're not happy? Unlike most non-Samsung phones (save for Nokia), the GS5 has five screen modes: Professional Photo, Cinema, Dynamic, Adapt and Standard. They all use a different color gamut; so if one doesn't fit your fancy, try the others to see what works best. Fingerprint scanner Until the iPhone 5s came out, the last flagship phone with a fingerprint scanner was the Motorola Atrix 4G -- and that was three years ago. Back then, it was clear the technology wasn't ready for prime time, mostly because the sensors didn't actually work very well. Now, in 2014, the S5 comes with a capacitive fingerprint scanner built into the home button -- yep, just like on the iPhone. It remains to be seen if this leads to another court battle, but regardless, you can't fault Samsung for choosing the home button: We touch that part of the phone dozens (if not hundreds) times a day. So, how exactly does the scanner work here? Samsung's setup features Synaptics' Natural ID, which consists of a tiny sensor that sits underneath the button. (Synaptics calls it "a miniature touchpad with built-in capacitive sensing.") When it's time for the phone to learn your prints, you swipe your finger over the home button several times, allowing the sensor to read the inner live layers of the tip of your finger. Using signal strength, the sensor can draw a "map" of your fingerprint and presto -- you're all set. You can store up to three prints total, although I'd prefer even more. If the sensor doesn't recognize your finger after five attempts, the phone will prompt you to enter an alternative password. It's an alphanumeric password, mind, so you'll have to include both numbers and letters instead of a simple four-digit PIN code. On one hand (no pun intended), Samsung likely did it this way to make the phone more secure, but I still believe users should be able to choose what type of password they want. Speaking of security, should we be concerned about privacy? According to Samsung and Synaptics, the answer is no. When the sensor talks to the processor ("Hey, this print checks out just fine. Go ahead and let them in."), all information is encrypted. What's more, the prints are stored locally on the phone, and instead of storing an actual image of your print, it only logs a virtual map. Spoofing also wouldn't work; Synaptics says that any change in the physical properties of the phone will result in rejection. All in all, Samsung makes more use out of its fingerprint scanner than Apple does with Touch ID. Both the GS5 and iPhone 5s use the scanner to unlock the phone, obviously, but that's where the similarities end. The only other thing Touch ID can do is approve App Store and iTunes downloads. Samsung, meanwhile, lets you make online payments through PayPal, as well as access a private "locker" for confidential files. I'd also like to see these companies open up their sensors to third-party developers; all in due time, hopefully. When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S5 and a trio of Gear smartwatches, the company made a big to-do about how it listens to its customers. We know, we know: Every company's supposed to be doing that. But remember, this is Samsung we're talking about. It dominates the Android market by such a wide margin that it makes rivals like LG and HTC look like quaint startups. Put it another way: Samsung could release a phone with no improvements, and it'd still sell millions. At least, that's how it used to be. The smartphone market has seen a downturn of late and even mighty Samsung has been affected. Sales are down, and the manufacturer must now make phones that give people what they actually want (shocker, we know). So what can we expect from a humbled Samsung? A durable phone that brings a toned-down TouchWiz UI, a better camera, longer battery life, improved performance, a fingerprint scanner and enhanced health tracking. I received an unlocked review unit from GSM Nation, which was the first outlet to start shipping the phone in the US with AT&T- and T-Mobile-compatible LTE. Now that I've been testing it for a few days, let's see if the Galaxy S5 lives up to all those promises.

However, certain headline features like the fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor are mediocre at best. Chances are, you'll be happy with the phone, but don't fork out the extra cash for an early upgrade. If you've seen one Galaxy S device, you've seen 'em all. Each iteration of the popular smartphone series has had a few nips and tucks, but overall it's maintained the same look over the years. The S5 is no exception: The only new features here are its squarish shape and its plastic, waterproof casing -- dimpled to look sort of like leather (it doesn't really). Even then, you can tell at a glance that it's a Galaxy S. If there's one word we'd use to describe the Galaxy S5 design, it's "inoffensive." It's not exactly a visual treat like the new HTC One M8, but it's not ugly either. And that's not surprising, really: Samsung usually plays it safe with its designs. This time around, I've heard plenty of jokes referring to the GS5 as the "Band-Aid Phone," a nod to those dimples on the back.

Samsung, meanwhile, lets you make online payments through PayPal, as well as access a private "locker" for confidential files. I'd also like to see these companies open up their sensors to third-party developers; all in due time, hopefully. Getting down to brass tacks, how well does the thing actually work? It depends. I trained the GS5 to recognize both of my thumbs and my right index finger, since those are the three digits I use the most when waking up the phone. Over the course of several days, I made dozens of attempts with each finger and it only recognized me on the first try about half the time -- and that's a generous estimate. More often than not, I had to swipe my finger two or three times before it let me in; typing in a PIN code would've been more efficient. Worse, there were other times when the scanner wouldn't recognize me at all, even as I adjusted my swipe speed, angle and finger pressure. And even when it works, there's a small delay after you swipe before the phone accepts your print. As for one-handed use, don't even bother. It's technically possible, but the odds of success are so low I have a better chance of seeing Narnia each time I open my closet. Normally, I hold the phone in my left hand and try to swipe the sensor with my left thumb; however, my thumb is at such an angle that the sensor simply can't recognize it. Sometimes it'll work if I push the phone up a little higher and try to position the thumb at a more shallow angle, but even then, it takes multiple attempts, and it's so off-balance that I've come close to dropping the device several times. Apple's sensor, on the other hand, has no problem picking up my fingerprint from any angle. To be fair, my experience may get better over time (although in Apple's case, it got worse for a while). It's obvious there's a learning curve here; it can take practice to place your finger in just the right place, at just the right speed with just the right amount of pressure. However, I don't believe most people will be that patient -- after a few frustrating attempts, users might simply turn the feature off (or worse, attempt a warranty swap because they think it's defective). There's a bit of a silver lining, at least: If you don't like it, don't want to use it or it simply doesn't work for you (or all of the above), you don't have to use it. And unlike the HTC One Max, whose fingerprint scanner sits below the rear camera, the sensor itself isn't visually distracting. Heart rate monitor Samsung's been making a big deal about health recently. It's offered an app called S Health for quite some time, which helps users track their exercise and food intake. Starting with the GS4 in particular, the app's been able to monitor heart rate and steps with the help of third-party accessories. Now, though, both of these features are built directly into the GS5, giving you one or two fewer fitness gadgets to carry around. That said, the heart rate monitors built into the new Gear 2 and Gear Fit smartwatches integrate with S Health, so the company's hoping you'll buy some fitness wearables after all (so long as they're made by Samsung, of course). To get started, go to the Heart Rate section of S Health. Then, once prompted, put your finger over the sensor, keep still and stay quiet. Be careful where you put your finger, though: The sensor, which uses a light that allows it to "see" and measure your pulse, is positioned almost directly beneath the camera lens. Without your eyes directly guiding your finger to the right place, it's easy to mistake the camera lens for the heart rate monitor. (Pro tip: You'll want to keep a cloth handy to wipe off the lens if you do this a lot.) As with the fingerprint scanner, positioning is crucial. If my finger was even slightly off, the monitor couldn't measure my pulse and I'd have to redo it. When you've done it right, you'll know pretty quickly since it only takes five seconds or so to complete the process. When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S5 and a trio of Gear smartwatches, the company made a big to-do about how it listens to its customers. We know, we know: Every company's supposed to be doing that. But remember, this is Samsung we're talking about. It dominates the Android market by such a wide margin that it makes rivals like LG and HTC look like quaint startups.

It remains to be seen if this leads to another court battle, but regardless, you can't fault Samsung for choosing the home button: We touch that part of the phone dozens (if not hundreds) times a day. So, how exactly does the scanner work here? Samsung's setup features Synaptics' Natural ID, which consists of a tiny sensor that sits underneath the button. (Synaptics calls it "a miniature touchpad with built-in capacitive sensing.") When it's time for the phone to learn your prints, you swipe your finger over the home button several times, allowing the sensor to read the inner live layers of the tip of your finger. Using signal strength, the sensor can draw a "map" of your fingerprint and presto -- you're all set. You can store up to three prints total, although I'd prefer even more. If the sensor doesn't recognize your finger after five attempts, the phone will prompt you to enter an alternative password. It's an alphanumeric password, mind, so you'll have to include both numbers and letters instead of a simple four-digit PIN code. On one hand (no pun intended), Samsung likely did it this way to make the phone more secure, but I still believe users should be able to choose what type of password they want. Speaking of security, should we be concerned about privacy? According to Samsung and Synaptics, the answer is no. When the sensor talks to the processor ("Hey, this print checks out just fine. Go ahead and let them in."), all information is encrypted. What's more, the prints are stored locally on the phone, and instead of storing an actual image of your print, it only logs a virtual map. Spoofing also wouldn't work; Synaptics says that any change in the physical properties of the phone will result in rejection. All in all, Samsung makes more use out of its fingerprint scanner than Apple does with Touch ID. Both the GS5 and iPhone 5s use the scanner to unlock the phone, obviously, but that's where the similarities end. The only other thing Touch ID can do is approve App Store and iTunes downloads. Samsung, meanwhile, lets you make online payments through PayPal, as well as access a private "locker" for confidential files. I'd also like to see these companies open up their sensors to third-party developers; all in due time, hopefully. Getting down to brass tacks, how well does the thing actually work? It depends. I trained the GS5 to recognize both of my thumbs and my right index finger, since those are the three digits I use the most when waking up the phone. Over the course of several days, I made dozens of attempts with each finger and it only recognized me on the first try about half the time -- and that's a generous estimate. More often than not, I had to swipe my finger two or three times before it let me in; typing in a PIN code would've been more efficient. Worse, there were other times when the scanner wouldn't recognize me at all, even as I adjusted my swipe speed, angle and finger pressure. And even when it works, there's a small delay after you swipe before the phone accepts your print. As for one-handed use, don't even bother. It's technically possible, but the odds of success are so low I have a better chance of seeing Narnia each time I open my closet. Normally, I hold the phone in my left hand and try to swipe the sensor with my left thumb; however, my thumb is at such an angle that the sensor simply can't recognize it. Sometimes it'll work if I push the phone up a little higher and try to position the thumb at a more shallow angle, but even then, it takes multiple attempts, and it's so off-balance that I've come close to dropping the device several times. Apple's sensor, on the other hand, has no problem picking up my fingerprint from any angle. To be fair, my experience may get better over time (although in Apple's case, it got worse for a while). It's obvious there's a learning curve here; it can take practice to place your finger in just the right place, at just the right speed with just the right amount of pressure. However, I don't believe most people will be that patient -- after a few frustrating attempts, users might simply turn the feature off (or worse, attempt a warranty swap because they think it's defective). There's a bit of a silver lining, at least: If you don't like it, don't want to use it or it simply doesn't work for you (or all of the above), you don't have to use it. And unlike the HTC One Max, whose fingerprint scanner sits below the rear camera, the sensor itself isn't visually distracting. Heart rate monitor Samsung's been making a big deal about health recently. It's offered an app called S Health for quite some time, which helps users track their exercise and food intake. Starting with the GS4 in particular, the app's been able to monitor heart rate and steps with the help of third-party accessories. Now, though, both of these features are built directly into the GS5, giving you one or two fewer fitness gadgets to carry around. That said, the heart rate monitors built into the new Gear 2 and Gear Fit smartwatches integrate with S Health, so the company's hoping you'll buy some fitness wearables after all (so long as they're made by Samsung, of course). To get started, go to the Heart Rate section of S Health. Then, once prompted, put your finger over the sensor, keep still and stay quiet. Be careful where you put your finger, though: The sensor, which uses a light that allows it to "see" and measure your pulse, is positioned almost directly beneath the camera lens. Without your eyes directly guiding your finger to the right place, it's easy to mistake the camera lens for the heart rate monitor. (Pro tip: You'll want to keep a cloth handy to wipe off the lens if you do this a lot.) As with the fingerprint scanner, positioning is crucial. If my finger was even slightly off, the monitor couldn't measure my pulse and I'd have to redo it. When you've done it right, you'll know pretty quickly since it only takes five seconds or so to complete the process. Our team tested the heart rate monitor against more dedicated fitness devices like the Garmin chest strap (connected to a Vivofit) and the Adidas Smart watch. After a series of tests, we noticed that the GS5's results averaged about five or six beats per minute lower than the Garmin and Adidas. That said, the scores did match sometimes, but this was the exception rather than the rule. In other words, the GS5 sensor will do a good job getting you an "in the neighborhood" reading, but you're still better off with a standalone monitor if you want the most precise results. Software As with the hardware design, Samsung's TouchWiz software tends to err on the safe side; in the past, Samsung only made minor tweaks to the UI. With the GS5, however, the company's Android skin has received quite the face-lift, resulting in a design that's flatter, more modern-looking. If you ask us, it's a step in the right direction -- and a sign that Samsung knows it needs to freshen up TouchWiz. Even so, the layout is confusing. The old TouchWiz used tabs on nearly every screen, but no longer. Meanwhile, Samsung introduced a new font, and for whatever reason, the interface uses a lot of circles. Oddly, too, there are some inconsistencies; the settings menu uses large, circular icons (though you can switch to list or tab view at any time), which makes it more of a chore to scroll through the menu. Icons in the main app drawer, on the other hand, hew to the old-school TouchWiz look. And that's not all: There are elements of stock Android (4.4.2 KitKat) sprinkled in as well. Most core apps have been redesigned to be more visually appealing, and even the recent apps menu has a fresh look. But given that Google recently had a discussion with Samsung about how it can down its Android skin, it's frustrating that there are at least two versions of most core apps -- Samsung pushes its own in-house software, even though Google provides similar apps of its own. This means there are two app stores, two music players, two browsers, two photo gallery apps, two voice assistants and three messaging apps (four on the AT&T version). While there's something to be said about choice, this is just a tangled mess, and I have to wonder if the extra baggage bogs down the phone's performance. Fortunately, you can hide the apps you don't plan to use, which at least cuts down on the clutter. My Magazine has carried over from the Note 3, but it's now accessible by swiping from left to right. If Samsung is indeed interested in getting on Google's good side, I'd like to see the company give us the choice between My Magazine and the Google Now experience. Curiously, it's not even part of the TouchWiz launcher, but, rather, a separate application. As for the feature itself, it's basically Flipboard with a few customizations -- in fact, clicking on categories and links will often take you out of My Magazine and into the actual Flipboard app. Older Samsung features like Air browse, Air view, Smart stay, Smart scroll and Smart rotation are all still here, though they aren't quite as in-your-face as they once were. In fact, most of them are buried in the settings, so you have to want them in order to find them. Safety Assistance, Blocking Mode and Easy Mode are also around. In the settings menu, you'll find a small, but important addition: a search function. If you know what you're looking for, but don't feel like spending an hour swiping through 20 menus to find it, you can search for the term and head straight there. Heck, if you're searching for a checkbox, the search results will include that box in the list, so you don't even have to go into the menu to toggle it. Like the HTC One M8, the GS5 features an extreme power-saving mode (Samsung calls it, "Ultra power saving mode"), which promises to conserve power when you find yourself getting dangerously low and need to stay afloat in case a call comes in. When you turn this feature on, it changes the launcher to a simple grayscale theme, caps your display brightness and restricts most apps from working, reserving your battery for only the tasks you'd need in an emergency. Mileage will vary, but even at 10 percent, you should be able to eke out nearly a full day of battery life. One last thing worth mentioning: the built-in "baby crying detector," which can be used with a Gear Watch. Put your phone within a meter of your little one and anytime they have a fit, your watch will vibrate. Of course, Samsung's quick to point out that this isn't intended to replace your babysitter, so if you're thinking of sneaking out for a spell, don't. Camera Samsung has a history of making smartphones with good cameras, but that doesn't mean it can rest on its laurels. The competition is getting fiercer: Nokia, Sony and even Chinese outfits like Oppo are doing some fantastic things with imaging. And so must Samsung. With the GS5, the company added a 16MP rear camera, some clever new editing tricks and a new "ISOCELL" technology that improves sharpness, low-light performance and color accuracy. (In case you're wondering, the front-facing camera is still capped at 2MP.) Just like the One M8, the GS5's top resolution uses a 16:9 aspect ratio for widescreen images, rather than the traditional 4:3. Fun fact: If you don't like going widescreen, the highest res you can get is 12MP, which is actually a lower resolution than the GS4's 13MP 4:3 camera. Obviously, pixel count isn't everything, and there are other aspects of the imaging experience to consider, but I still found this a tad disappointing. Resolution is likely the least interesting imaging spec on the camera, so let's take a quick look at the other stuff. The GS5 has the same f/2.2 aperture as its predecessor, as well as a focal length of 4.8mm (up from 4.24mm on the GS4). The 1/2.6-inch sensor is larger, but utilizes the same pixel size of 1.12 microns. Fortunately, ISOCELL addresses the concern with having such small pixels, and we'll cover that shortly. The new camera settings, meanwhile, are easier to navigate now that they're accessible from the viewfinder and can all be found in one place. While this may be confusing to some, I prefer it this way over the GS4, which has multiple levels of menus. Unless you knew exactly where to go, it was difficult to find what you were looking for. Fortunately, there's space on the sidebar for up to three custom shortcuts, so you can drag over the settings you'll be adjusting the most. The camera modes have also been streamlined here. Quite a few are no longer listed by default, but if you press the "download" option, you'll be taken into the Samsung Store, where you can find all of them. What's more, Eraser, Drama and Best photo modes have merged into one mode known as "Shot & More." This is a lot like what Nokia has done with its Smart Camera. While it makes more sense to combine them into one mode, there's still a lingering problem: I don't always know that I need Eraser until after I've already taken my shot. As an example, I usually don't know that a photobomber is going to step into my shot until I'm actually taking the picture; switching to Shot & More mode means I have to know there's a good chance that some random dude is going to try to become part of my family portrait. Lastly, the default auto mode is now smart enough to detect when it's nighttime, so it can adjust to that particular setting automatically. (That said, you can turn on the photo stabilizer effect to get even more light, if auto doesn't work well enough.) The HTC One M8 has UFocus; now Samsung is introducing something called Selective Focus. As with UFocus, you can blur out the background or a target in the foreground. The catch: You have to be within 1.5 feet of whatever object is in the foreground. Even then, there were many times when I couldn't get it to work. Small objects, large objects -- it didn't matter. The feature is temperamental, it seems, but at least it saves the image as a regular photo if you don't succeed. Even when it does work, it's not perfect. In the image above, I took a picture focused on the red sundial and when I shifted the focus to the buildings in the background, not everything in the foreground actually blurred out, as you can see below. I was particularly impressed by the GS5's real-time HDR feature. Normally, I have to chance it with HDR images because I don't get to see how it will turn out ahead of time. The GS5's processor is powerful enough, however, that it's now possible to see what the image will actually look like before taking it, which increases my likelihood of taking a good photo. This feature is also available in the One M8. Samsung also says the camera is capable of focusing on targets in 300ms (0.3 second), making it just as fast as the M8. This is made possible through phase detection (PDAF). Unlike most smartphone cameras, which determine focus through contrast, PDAF divvies up incoming light into a pair of photos and then compares the two. If you don't have enough light coming in, the camera will shift back to the traditional contrast autofocus method. I couldn't see a noticeable difference in focus lock times between the GS5 and the M8 (same goes with default shutter speed). Either way, both were quicker than the GS4. The GS5 also lets you manually tweak the settings to your liking, but it doesn't offer quite as many options (or as good a UI) as the new HTC One. It's not much different from other Galaxy phones, either: You can set white balance, metering method, exposure and ISO (up to 800). Still, HTC adds extras like shutter speed and focus type, along with sliders and the ability to save presets, so you can easily switch back and forth between modes instead of having to change each setting every time. The GS5 may not have an extra camera to add depth information, but it brings plenty of great editing features that make you feel as if you're enjoying Photoshop on your phone. You can still rotate, crop and resize; add stickers, frames and drawings; throw in portrait effects; and adjust color saturation, contrast and temperature. What's different this time is the ability to select a specific part of your photo and tweak just that part while leaving the rest of the picture untouched. In other words, if one part of your image is blown out, you can select that area and tweak the settings to tone it down. In case you don't really know how you want to adjust the shot, there's also an auto-enhance feature that might give you a nudge in the right direction. The size of each pixel on the GS5's main camera remains the same as on the GS4, so does Samsung do anything else to improve low-light performance? It does, in the form of its new ISOCELL technology, which first debuted last fall. The explanation of how it all works is pretty technical and I'll let the video above do most of the explaining. In short, ISOCELL adds tiny barriers between individual pixels, which increases image sharpness, color accuracy and light sensitivity -- all aspects that come as disadvantages for most BSI sensors. The new tech also allows the lens to be closer to the sensor, which makes it so the camera module can be smaller. All told, ISOCELL improves Samsung's imaging quality, but the results aren't quite as good when compared to the One M8, Lumia 1020 and iPhone 5s. I'm not saying nighttime images on the GS5 are horrid -- they're still perfectly usable in most cases -- but the performance just isn't up to par with other devices that have popped up on the market in the past year. Simply put, most night shots appear darker and noisier. Fortunately the GS5 holds up well in good lighting conditions. My pictures were slightly more detailed than they were on the GS4 and One M8. I didn't have to make any adjustments to the settings in direct sunlight, whereas the M8 tends to take blown-out shots if I don't dial back the exposure a notch or two. Image quality was also on par with the iPhone 5s, with only slight variations in color saturation. (Note: I've uploaded a gallery of full-res photos here.) Performance and battery life In the year since the GS4 came out, we've seen two new generations of high-end Snapdragon chipsets: the 800 last fall, followed by the 801, which is what Samsung used on the GS5. As is too often the case, it won't be long before the muscle behind Samsung's state-of-the-art model is no longer the best available, as the Snapdragon 805 will land in a few months, with the 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 810 landing this time next year. Heck, maybe that's what we can expect in the GS6! With a quad-core 2.5GHz processor, 2GB of RAM and a 578MHz Adreno 330 GPU, the GS5 is predictably powerful. Even so, I can't shake the feeling that something in the bowels of TouchWiz is preventing it from reaching its full potential. Despite having a faster clock speed than the One M8 (both phones use a Snapdragon 801, but the M8's version has a lower max speed at 2.3GHz), most transitions seem to take longer to complete and apps load slightly slower than they do on the One. Again, it may feel like I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, but this slight lag also translates into some odd happenings on the graphics side. My game tests of choice were Asphalt 8 and Dead Trigger 2, since both need some serious horsepower to run smoothly. Most of my gameplay unfolded without incident, but the titles slowed down and even froze up more often than they should have, considering the powerful chipset being used. The S5's battery held up well during my week of use, and it's a slight improvement over the GS4. Still, the HTC One M8 is even better. With heavy usage, I tended to get concerned near the end of the day that the 2,800mAh battery wasn't going to make it. Thankfully, though, it never completely gave up on me. In other words, the battery got me through a full day, but more often than not, it came a little too close to empty. In our formal rundown test, meanwhile, the battery kept going through nearly 10 hours of video playback. That's not as impressive as the M8, which lasted 11 and a half hours, but it's still better than the GS4, which gave out after nine hours and 15 minutes. With more moderate use, you should last into a second day; naturally, mileage will vary depending on what you're doing with your phone and how strong your signal is. Audio on the GS5's speakers isn't quite as loud or clear as BoomSound on the One M8. Worse, the sound rattled the back of the phone anytime I cranked up the volume. In fact, the louder the music got, the more muffled and blown-out the sound became. Plugging in a pair of headphones helped me to sidestep the problem, at least. Likewise, call quality on both my unlocked handset and my AT&T version sounded clear with no complaints on either end of the line. Bluetooth connectivity worked flawlessly, even with several devices connected at the same time, and NFC performed as well as I'd hoped. GPS navigation didn't have any noticeable issues, either. Wrap-up Chances are, you'll be happy with the Galaxy S5 if you choose to buy it. It's a solid upgrade to the Galaxy S4, with reasonable improvements to the design, software and camera. I can't say this is your most visually appealing option, especially compared to the all-metal HTC One M8, but the dimpled back and waterproof casing at least add more durability than we've enjoyed on previous Galaxy S devices. The fingerprint scanner and the heart rate monitor, on the other hand, need some work. Each delivers inconsistent results and can be quite frustrating to use. The good news is that you don't have to use them if you have the same experience that I did; the bad news is: If you don't take advantage of these features, you have fewer reasons to buy the phone in the first place. What's more, Samsung put a lot of energy into integrating these features into both the GS5's hardware and software, which makes me wonder what the company could have included instead if it left those out. If you're looking for a good Android phone, the GS5 won't let you down. I'd be happy using this as my daily driver. That said, I wouldn't waste an early upgrade on it, either.

Michelle Obama Shows Her Warmer Side on 'The View' First, she had to unclench her fist. Michelle Obama's opening move as a guest co-host of "The View" on Wednesday was to joke about the famous bump that she had given her husband the night he clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, and that was described by the Fox News anchor E.D. Hill as a "terrorist fist jab." Mrs. Obama said she was not really "that hip" and credited her husband's campaign workers for the gesture. "I got that from the young staff," she said. "It's the new high five." And in that way, and perhaps only that way, Mrs. Obama looked a little like the wife of her husband's Republican opponent, Cindy McCain, who also used a co-hosting appearance on "The View" last April to smooth over her campaign kerfuffle. Recipes posted on the McCain campaign Web site as Mrs. McCain's family's favorites turned out to be copied word-for-word from ones by Rachael Ray and others. Mrs. McCain told the show's hosts that an intern had posted the recipes without permission and been duly punished. "That intern is now, I'm happy to say, at the Betty Crocker boot camp," she joked. The amount of scrutiny the two spouses face is not commensurate — Mrs. Obama has endured far more virulent attacks by her critics — but it is somehow symmetrical. Mrs. Obama went on a popular television talk show to combat the notion that she is a little too authentic to be a first lady, while Mrs. McCain did it to undercut the image that she is too fake. It is a familiar pattern. Democratic candidates' wives — from Rosalynn Carter and Kitty Dukakis to Hillary Rodham Clinton and Teresa Heinz Kerry — are almost invariably characterized by opponents as too feisty and too outspoken, a little too radical for mainstream America. Betty Ford was an early exception to the Republican rule of bland, self-effacing homemakers; as the Equal Rights Amendment faded as a cause and conservatism made a comeback, Republican spouses became ever more careful to stay three steps behind their men and the times. And some have become so intent that they are accused of playacting. In this election, the two candidates' wives could not be more different, but each is haunted by the legacy of a famous predecessor. Mrs. McCain, who is very rich, very thin and exquisitely dressed and carries herself with Bergdorf Goodman hauteur, is not at all like Laura Bush or Barbara Bush; she is a blond version of Nancy Reagan circa 1980. Early on, Mrs. Obama was likened to Jackie Kennedy for her youth and fashion style, but lately, the strong and assertive African-American career woman is experiencing the kind of antifeminist hazing that Mrs. Clinton endured in the 1992 campaign when she made her "baking cookies" faux pas. Mrs. Obama distanced herself from that model on "The View," describing herself as a mother and not mentioning her law career or her views on policy. But she also made a point of framing Mrs. Clinton as a pioneer, asserting that sexism had been an issue in her bid for the presidential nomination and praising her gumption. "It's only when women like her take the hits and it's painful, it's hurtful, but she' s taking them so that my girls, when they come along, won't have to feel it as badly," Mrs. Obama said. Her performance on Wednesday was polished and all but flawless — although she did almost slip when she tried to describe her husband's easygoing personality and said what some in the audience heard as "sweet and pathetic." As her co-hosts giggled, Mrs. Obama demurred that she had meant "sweet, empathetic." And she dealt — once again — with the issue of patriotism, explaining that when she had said during the primary that this was the first time she felt "really proud" of her country, she was referring to the political process, not the nation. "Of course I am proud of my country," she said. "Nowhere but in America could my story be possible." Mrs. Obama made a point of showing her warmer, more personable side, talking about her working-class parents and the joys of being the mother of two young girls, and even admitting that she serves bacon for breakfast and does not wear pantyhose, but she did not disguise her confident manner or her natural authority. Nor did she ever truly relax. When asked whether the reaction to some of her comments had led her to be more inhibited, Mrs. Obama replied somewhat stiffly, "I think in this media age I have to be cognizant." And Mrs. Obama seems very aware of how the news media work. As if to send a veiled message to Mrs. McCain, Mrs. Obama mentioned how grateful she was to Laura Bush, noting that she had sent the first lady a note thanking her for her sympathy after her "first time" remarks backfired. Mrs. McCain, at the time, had been uncharacteristically outspoken and combative, telling Republican audiences: " I'm proud of my country. I don't know about you — if you heard those words earlier — I'm very proud of my country." Mrs. Obama said she was taking some cues from Mrs. Bush. "There's a reason people like her," Mrs. Obama said. "It's because she doesn't, sort of, you know, add fuel to the fire." This article has been revised to reflect the following correction: Correction: June 27, 2008 The TV Watch column on June 19, about Michelle Obama's appearance as a co-host on "The View," referred incorrectly to her mention of her gratitude to Laura Bush after Mrs. Obama was criticized for saying she was really proud of her country for the first time and Mrs. Bush sympathized with her. Mrs. Obama said that she had sent a note to Mrs. Bush, not that Mrs. Bush had sent a note to her.

ParisAttacks2015_(25)

EU ministers order tighter border checks in response to Paris attacks French interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve says clampdown to take instant effect on temporary basis European governments have responded to the Paris atrocities by ordering immediate vetting of all EU nationals for potential terrorism or criminal connections, in a new regime of much tighter border controls for the EU's 26-country free-travel area. A week after the Paris attacks, an emergency meeting in Brussels of EU interior ministers said all EU citizens entering or leaving the free-travel area, known as Schengen, should undergo "systematic" screening against pan-European databases. "Member states undertake to implement immediately the necessary systematic and coordinated checks at external borders, including on individuals enjoying the right of free movement [EU citizens]," the meeting decided. The French interior minister, Bernard Cazeneuve, said the clampdown on borders would take instant effect on a temporary basis until the European commission came up with changes to the Schengen rules enshrining the new regime as mandatory and obligatory. Under current Schengen rules, this is impossible, with EU citizens subject to "minimum" identification procedures, which are generally cursory and perfunctory. Ministers are under intense pressure to tighten the system because all of the known Paris attackers were EU nationals, either French or Belgian, who found it relatively easy to travel back and forth to and within Europe without major problems even when they were registered as terrorism suspects in the Schengen ornational databases. "Terrorists are crossing the borders of the European Union," said Cazeneuve. The ministers called for "a targeted revision of the Schengen borders code to provide for systematic controls of EU nationals, including the verification of biometric information, against relevant databases at external borders of the Schengen area, making full use of technical solutions in order not to hamper the fluidity of movement". Finalising the new borders regime could take months, however, and is likely to run into legislative infighting in Brussels. The European commission has to propose changes to the Schengen rules that would then need to be endorsed by national governments and the European parliament, where opposition and delays are likely. Previous attempts to tighten the borders regime, notably after the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris in January, petered out. The commission has not been keen to revise the rules, saying there is no need. The commissioner in charge, Dimitris Avramopoulos, told Friday's meeting that the changes making thorough vetting of EU nationals mandatory could now be "explored". Cazeneuve was emphatic. "Strengthening of controls is indispensable. We've been saying this for months. This is why the commission has agreed to table systematic and obligatory checks on all entering the Schengen area, including those [EU citizens] who enjoy freedom of movement," he said. Avramopoulos also called for the creation of a new EU intelligence service. This is viewed as a non-starter since the bigger countries in particular jealously guard their operational secrecy and are reluctant to share too much information with EU partners. Cazeneuve said it would take too long to establish and Avramopoulos later climbed down, saying his was "an ideal idea" that had not even been discussed by the meeting. But the ministers also called for far greater cooperation and pooling of information between national intelligence and security services as this is seen as one of the biggest lacunae in the counter-terrorism efforts. Only five of 28 national intelligence services pool information, the commission said, although some of them will share intelligence among themselves while bypassing EU institutions. The meeting agreed to establish a new European counter-terrorism centre from January. Officials, diplomats, and governments are warning that Schengen, seen as one of the main achievements of European integration, is at risk of unravelling among a welter of beggar-thy-neighbour policies unless much stricter controls are effected on the zone's external borders. The Dutch government has even launched exploratory talks on taking Schengen back to basics, including only five instead of 26 countries – the Benelux countries, plus Germany and Austria. A priority for the ministers was the rapid agreement on collecting and storing data on all air passengers within Europe. They demanded a deal with the European parliament within a month. The so-called "PNR" – or passenger names records system – has been in the works for years and has been blocked on data privacy grounds by the parliament for the past year. "Not a single EU citizen will understand why the parliament continues blocking this essential tool," said Cazeneuve, while Luxembourg said it wanted a PNR deal struck within a fortnight. Theresa May, the British home secretary, said Britain would press ahead with its own national system in any case. The French said the same, as did the Belgians who are also to include high-speed trains in their system. The governments also said that every one of the hundreds of thousands of migrants currently entering the EU, mainly from Syria and the Middle East, had to be registered, identified and finger-printed at the point of entry into Schengen, usually Greece. This is a gargantuan task and Athens has been resisting help from elsewhere in the EU for months while failing to register the vast majority of new arrivals.

Michelle Obama's Book On Growing Seeds and Healthy Kids From the beginning, Michelle Obama's kitchen garden has been an overachiever, churning out more peppers, parsley and eggplant than expected, and generating interest that — yes, really — crosses oceans. Now, the first lady has added a 271-page book to her gardening resumé, and Americans can read all about the planting misses that came with the hits, get tips on gardening at home, and, Obama hopes, draw some inspiration that just might change their lives. Oh, and if it happens to help her husband's re-election campaign, that would be nice, too. Lofty goals for a book about a garden. In "American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America," Obama holds out the raised vegetable beds on the South Lawn as "an expression of my hopes" for the nation's children. "Just as each seed we plant has the potential to become something extraordinary, so does every child," she writes. The $30 book, released Tuesday by Crown Publishers, traces how a city kid from the South Side of Chicago who became a working mother and then a political spouse found herself fretting on that first planting day, March 20, 2009, about whether an L-shaped stretch of soil would prove fertile ground for a national conversation "about the food we eat, the lives we lead, and how all of that affects our children." The book, which answers that question with a resounding yes, arrives just in time for her husband's re-election campaign. And while the book is decidedly non-political, that fits perfectly with the Obama campaign's view that the first lady can do her husband a world of good simply by pushing the non-threatening causes such as healthy living that have made her a far more popular figure than the president himself. Mrs. Obama's favorability rating in the latest AP-GfK poll was 70 percent, compared with 58 percent for her husband. The book's release comes with a flurry of media appearances. She's already been a TV frequent flyer to promote her "Let's Move" campaign to combat childhood obesity — doing pushups with Ellen DeGeneres, playing tug-of-war with Jimmy Fallon in the White House and serving veggie pizza to Jay Leno. She says she gets asked about the garden wherever she goes, around the world. The book is chock full of colorful, glossy photos of luscious-looking vegetables, complete with a cover picture in which the first lady's blouse seems to be color-coordinated with the eggplants in her bulging basket of produce. Bo, the popular family dog, gets plenty of cameo appearances. There are maps tracing the growth of the garden over the past three years, and stories about community gardens around the country. Even a how-to on creating a compost bin. The book is divided into four sections marking the seasons, and includes a complement of recipes for each. There are inside stories about planting travails that will ring true with any weekend gardener: pumpkins that wouldn't grow, cantaloupes that tasted blah, blackberry bushes that wouldn't play nice with the raspberry bushes and an invasion of cucumber beetles, among them. The first lady makes clear she's not the one doing most of the hoeing and weeding, crediting school kids, White House chefs and grounds crew and enthusiastic volunteers from all over the White House chain of command with providing lots of manpower. And there are bits of historical trivia woven throughout: John Adams ordered up the first White House garden, but it was never harvested after he lost re-election. Thomas Jefferson was obsessed with trying to grow a four-foot-long cucumber. Heiress Rachel "Bunny" Mellon, at 101 now a figure in the John Edwards' corruption trial, helped redesign the Rose Garden for President John Kennedy. There are also bits of personal history: Mrs. Obama's father worked as a boy on one of the vegetable trucks that would deliver produce to neighborhoods, and had a reputation for sneaking pieces of fruit. Her mother's family had a plot in a neighborhood victory garden on the corner of an alley, and the kids had to eat their vegetables or go to bed without supper. It is a tradition for first ladies to use books to advance their causes. Hillary Clinton wrote the best-seller "It Takes a Village," about the importance of community in raising children; and Laura Bush collaborated with daughter Jenna on a picture book about a reluctant reader, with "Read All About It!" This is Michelle Obama's first book. She got no advance payment, and plans to donate all her proceeds to the National Park Foundation for programs that promote gardening and healthy eating, and to help care for the White House garden.

Samsung confirms fatal camera flaw on 'limited number' of Galaxy S5 smartphones The Samsung Galaxy S5's 16-megapixel camera is one of its best assets, but it's also turned into something of a liability for the company just weeks after launch. Complaints across internet forums have documented a major flaw with the camera on some devices — particularly the Verizon Wireless model — that renders the shooter useless. According to reports, a "camera failure" error has been randomly popping up for some new owners. There's no obvious cause behind the bug, but once the error is received, the camera hardware becomes permanently disabled. Users have taken afflicted S5 phones back to carrier stores and Samsung's own specialty sections at Best Buy in hopes of bringing the camera back to life, but only a physical exchange for a new device has remedied the problem so far. Samsung has now confirmed that it's aware of the reports and is actively trying to assist impacted customers. In a statement, a company spokesperson told The Verge, "We have learned that a limited number of Galaxy S5 devices may have an issue that causes 'Camera Failure' pop-up error message." S5 owners with a busted camera are asked to call 1-888-987-4357 to arrange an exchange under Samsung's warranty, or they can visit their respective carrier for a swap. Verizon is also doing its part to spread the message, as seen below. The complaints haven't swelled to a crisis quite yet, so you probably shouldn't let the early hiccup sway you away from Samsung's flagship if you were planning to purchase it.

Michelle Obama Welcomes Gay Families to National Military Initiative First Lady Michelle Obama "looks forward to including" openly gay service members in her national military families initiative with the "don't ask, don't tell" policy set to expire in less than 24 hours. The campaign, Joining Forces, is a multi-prong national program launched in April by the First Lady and Dr. Jill Biden to support military families through public service outreach and partnerships with some of the nation's largest corporations, among other efforts. "The First Lady and Dr. Biden will continue to recognize and honor the families of all service members, as they have been doing since the beginning of Joining Forces," Kristina Schake, Mrs. Obama's communications director, said in a statement to The Advocate. "After the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell takes effect, Mrs. Obama and Dr. Biden look forward to including openly gay and lesbian service members in events to recognize their service to the nation, as well as the service of their families," Schake said. The statement is similar to one made just prior to the White House launch event for Joining Forces in April. At that time, the White House had cited that DADT remained in effect and precluded participation by gay service members or their representative advocacy groups at the East Room unveiling of the initiative. That decision drew criticism from some gay service member advocacy groups who said that inclusion would have been a symbolic opportunity to recognize families of gay troops — families who likely would not have been able to participate in on-base Joining Forces events prior to DADT repeal. "At the moment, I can't even buy a stamp on base," one partner of a gay service member said in April. "That's pretty sad. Our primary interest is just being treated the same as other military families. We're not looking for anything novel beyond that." As well as a general awareness campaign focused on the challenges that military families face, Joining Forces works with private employers such as Wal-Mart to secure military spouse job transfers resulting from new duty assignments. It also promotes greater inclusion of military families in entertainment programming via partnerships with Hollywood guilds including the Writers Guild of America and Directors Guild of America. "[T]he truth is that as a country, we don't always see their families, our heroes on the home front," Mrs. Obama said at the April launch event. "These families have appealed to us, like a military mom who wrote to me and said, 'Please don't let Americans forget or ignore what we live with.'" In January, the administration called on government agencies to better address issues in employment, housing, and education affecting the nation's 2.2 million service members and their families.

Malaysia jet passengers likely suffocated, Australia says The passengers and crew of the missing Malaysia Airlines MASM.KL Flight MH370 most likely died from suffocation and coasted lifelessly into the ocean on autopilot, a new report released by Australian officials on Thursday said. In a 55-page report, the Australian Transport Safety Board outlined how investigators had arrived at this conclusion after comparing the conditions on the flight with previous disasters, although it contained no new evidence from within the jetliner. The report narrowed down the possible final resting place from thousands of possible routes, while noting the absence of communications and the steady flight path and a number of other key abnormalities in the course of the ill-fated flight. "Given these observations, the final stages of the unresponsive crew/hypoxia event type appeared to best fit the available evidence for the final period of MH370's flight when it was heading in a generally southerly direction," the ATSB report said. All of that suggested that the plane most likely crashed farther south into the Indian Ocean than previously thought, Australian officials also said, leading them to announce a shift farther south within the prior search area. The new analysis comes more than 100 days after the Boeing (BA.N) 777, carrying 239 passengers and crew, disappeared on March 8 shortly after taking off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing. Investigators say what little evidence they have to work with suggests the plane was deliberately diverted thousands of kilometers from its scheduled route before eventually plunging into the Indian Ocean. The search was narrowed in April after a series of acoustic pings thought to be from the plane's black box recorders were heard along a final arc where analysis of satellite data put its last location. But a month later, officials conceded the wreckage was not in that concentrated area, some 1,600 km (1,000 miles) off the northwest coast of Australia, and the search area would have to be expanded. "The new priority area is still focused on the seventh arc, where the aircraft last communicated with satellite. We are now shifting our attention to an area further south along the arc," Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss told reporters in Canberra. Truss said the area was determined after a review of satellite data, early radar information and aircraft performance limits after the plane diverted across the Malaysian peninsula and headed south into one of the remotest areas of the planet. "It is highly, highly likely that the aircraft was on autopilot otherwise it could not have followed the orderly path that has been identified through the satellite sightings," Truss said. The next phase of the search is expected to start in August and take a year, covering some 60,000 sq km at a cost of A$60 million ($56 million) or more. The search is already the most expensive in aviation history. The new priority search area is around 2,000 km west of Perth, a stretch of isolated ocean frequently lashed by storm force winds and massive swells. Two vessels, one Chinese and one from Dutch engineering company Fugro (FUGRc.AS), are currently mapping the sea floor along the arc, where depths exceed 5,000 meters in parts. A tender to find a commercial operator to conduct the sea floor search closes on Monday.

Samsung Unveils New Products from its System LSI Business at Mobile World Congress Samsung Electronics announced a broad range of cutting-edge products – two Exynos application processors, two CMOS image sensors, an NFC IC and a Wi-Fi chipset for use in advanced smartphones and tablets. These new products will be demonstrated in Samsung's booth, Hall 2, Booth 2G40 at the Mobile World Congress, Fira Gran Via, Barcelona, Spain, February 24-27. Samsung's new Exynos 5422, an advanced Exynos 5 Octa product for premium mobile devices, is designed to support the ever-increasing needs of high-resolution displays and complicated computation without sacrificing battery life. This new processor is equipped with eight cores—four big cores (ARM® Cortex®- A15™ up to 2.1 GHz) for heavy loads and four small cores (ARM® Cortex®- A7™ up to 1.5 GHz) for lighter jobs—that deliver up to 34 percent higher performance than in previous Exynos Octa models. Due to Samsung's further optimized big.LITTLE™ HMP (Heterogeneous Multi Processing) technology, any combination of up to eight cores is engineered to provide optimum performance for any given task. To support high-resolution displays requiring a higher rate of data calculation and bandwidth, such as WQHD (2560 x 1440) and WQXGA (2560 x 1600), Samsung has adopted new solutions with proprietary mobile image compression (MIC) and adaptive hibernation technology. With MIC, display data is compressed into half to minimize memory bandwidth requirement and uses only four MIPI lanes. To further reduce power requirements, an adaptive hibernation algorithm detects non-moving parts of dynamic images and freezes the data transfer. Both technologies are implemented in conjunction with Samsung's mobile display driver IC (S6E3HA0 for WQHD and S6E3FA2 for FHD respectively), and save power consumption by up to 10 percent compared with conventional technologies. Samsung's new Exynos 5422 also delivers an outstanding multimedia experience through advanced Multi Format Codec (MFC) that supports 4K UHD resolution. These multimedia enhancements enable users to enjoy life-like multimedia experience by creating and uploading richer mobile contents with greater ease. Exynos 5422 is developed using Samsung's advanced 28 nanometer (nm) fabrication process node and supports HMP feature, saving overall power consumption by up to 10 percent with improved performance compared to mobile application processors fabricated with the 32nm process. Samples of the processor are available now and scheduled for mass production in the first quarter of 2014. Another addition to the Exynos portfolio, Exynos 5 Hexa (Exynos 5260) is designed to bring optimal performance and power efficiency required in the increasing mid- to high-end mobile market. The new Exynos 5 Hexa processor is powered by six CPU cores; two 1.7GHz ARM® Cortex®-A15 cores and four 1.3GHz ARM® Cortex®-A7 cores. Along with Exynos 5 Octa products, it adopts big.LITTLE HMP to provide the right mixture of cores for various tasks, resulting in up to 42 percent improved performance when compared with the previous Exynos 5 Dual products. Equipped with an embedded Display Port (eDP) interface and memory bandwidth supporting up to 12.8GB/s, the Exynos 5260 also supports WQXGA (2560 x 1600) display resolution. For excellent video experience, it is integrated with a video codec that enables Full HD (1080p) playback at up to 60 frames-per-second (fps) with encoding and decoding of various standards, such as H.264, MPEG4 and VP8. Exynos 5260 is currently in mass production. 16Mp and 13Mp ISOCELL CMOS Image Sensors for High-Quality Viewing Experience Samsung's new CMOS image sensor technology, ISOCELL, substantially increases light sensitivity and effectively controls the collection of electrons, resulting in higher color fidelity even in poor lighting conditions. By incorporating ISOCELL, the image sensor will have 30 percent decrease in crosstalk; 30 percent increase in full well capacity; and 20 percent wider chief ray angle. Using the new technology with 1.12µm ISOCELL pixels, Samsung is introducing two new CMOS image sensors —16 and 13Mpixel. The 16Mpixel ISOCELL imager provides a wider, clearer viewing experience to mobile device users by implementing a 16:9 aspect ratio, allowing for full-size, high-resolution images and video to be displayed on screen without field-of-view (FOV) loss. This high-speed sensor captures full FOV 16:9 full HD (1080p) video at 60fps, and for the first time in the industry, enables continuous shooting of all 16Mpixels at 30fps. Samples of the 16Mpixel ISOCELL CIS are available now and scheduled for mass production in the first quarter of 2014. Samsung's new 13Mpixel ISOCELL CIS features Smart Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, which allows users to capture images at 30fps. With a mosaic pattern of multiple exposures, images are then processed with an advanced algorithm for wider dynamic range. This enables users to capture details clearly in both bright and dark areas even in high contrast lighting conditions. This Smart WDR feature is based on Samsung's advanced 65nm stacked process, where the pixel array is attached right on top of the logic circuit. Samsung's 13Mpixel product is sampling now and is scheduled for mass production in the second quarter of 2014. 3rd Generation NFC Chip Solution for Expanding Mobile Payment Ecosystem Samsung introduces its 3rd generation near field communications (NFC) chip solution. This is the industry's first NFC IC using 45nm embedded flash process, which enables easy and secure firmware updates as well as low power consumption. This new NFC solution offers handset designers more flexibility by adopting the industry's smallest antenna with enhanced radio frequency performance. This was made possible by Samsung's proprietary Smart Antenna technology, which optimizes impedances of both receiving and emitting parts respectively to improve sensitivity and power efficiency. The NFC chip solution is currently being sampled to customers and is scheduled for mass production in the second quarter of 2014. Wi-Fi Solution with Low Power Consumption for IoT Applications Samsung offers its first wireless connectivity solution, S5N2120, for the growing Internet of Things (IoT) market. This solution supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz, and has an extremely small footprint, which is essential for a wide array of applications. This solution features an integrated micro control unit (MCU) with a power amplifier, power management, audio codec and direct microphone functions. With this MCU, OEM customers can easily reconfigure their existing designs to add Wi-Fi connectivity functions. This allows for a shorter development lead-time and less engineering resources are required. This flexibility along with excellent performance and a small footprint is optimal for battery-constrained applications such as Wi-Fi speakers, headsets, remote controls, digital & sports cameras, smart heating/cooling meters, sensors and other types of IoT or M2M applications. Samsung's new Wi-Fi connectivity solution, S5N2120, is currently sampling and scheduled for mass production in the second quarter of 2014. *All functionality features, specifications, and other product information provided in this document including, but not limited to, the benefits, design, pricing, components, performance, availability, and capabilities of the product are subject to change without notice or obligation.

Investigators find no unusual signs among MH370 pilots and cabin crew Investigators have found no indications of unusual behavior among the pilots and cabin crew of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 before it took off and vanished a year ago. "There were no behavioral signs of social isolation, change in habits or interest, self-neglect, drug or alcohol abuse of the captain, first officer and the cabin crew," said an interim report released Sunday about the investigation into the passenger jet's mysterious disappearance. The report, which contained factual information about the missing plane rather than analysis, offered relatives of the 239 people on board no apparent answers about why the aircraft dropped off radar. It said MH370's captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, didn't have any personal or financial problems that would cast suspicion on him. "The captain's ability to handle stress at work and home was good. There was no known history of apathy, anxiety, or irritability," the report said. "There were no significant changes in his lifestyle, interpersonal conflict or family stresses." Investigators looked into the backgrounds of the different crew members. They also examined closed-circuit TV footage of the flight crew at airports on at least three previous flights and saw no signs of change in behavior. Expired battery on beacon The interim report, which Malaysian authorities were required to release under international civil aviation standards, revealed that the battery of the underwater locator beacon on MH370's flight data recorder expired more than a year before the plane's disappearance. The report, citing maintenance records, said that there was no evidence to suggest the battery was replaced before its expiry in December 2012. While such a battery can operate past its expiry date, it said, "it is not guaranteed that it will work or that it would meet the 30-day minimum requirement." The battery on the plane's other so-called black box, the cockpit voice recorder, was replaced as scheduled and remained within its expiry date, the report said. Investigators interviewed maintenance staff and found that the computerized replacement schedule had not been updated correctly when the flight data recorder, and its locator beacon were replaced in February 2008. The mistake was not discovered until after MH370's disappearance, the report said, and Malaysia Airlines subsequently checked its entire fleet of planes to make sure there were no other oversights. 'No words can describe the pain' As family members of the missing passengers and crew members gathered Sunday to remember their loved ones, the Malaysian government said it remains committed to the search for the plane. "No words can describe the pain the families of those on board are going through," Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said in a statement. "The lack of answers and definitive proof -- such as aircraft wreckage -- has made this more difficult to bear. "Together with our international partners, we have followed the little evidence that exists," Najib said. "Malaysia remains committed to the search, and hopeful that MH370 will be found." Indian Ocean search Investigators have so far failed to explain why Flight 370 veered wildly off its scheduled route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing in the early hours of March 8, 2014. Officials say that expert analysis of radar and satellite data indicates that the Boeing 777 eventually went down in the southern Indian Ocean. A group of ships with specialized equipment is searching for traces of the passenger jet in the vast depths of a remote area of ocean where experts believe MH370 most likely ended up. Those efforts are expected to be completed in May. It is unclear what will happen if search teams complete their current mission without finding any sign of the plane. Families demand answers The absence of tangible evidence of what happened to the plane and the people on board has tortured family members and spawned a host of speculative theories. Relatives have expressed dissatisfaction and anger over the information they've been given and repeatedly demanded more from government and airline officials -- but with little success. For many of them, the Malaysian government's decision in late January to officially declare the loss of MH370 an accident, enabling the insurance payout process to begin, felt premature. We will never forget them' On Sunday, about 500 employees of Malaysia Airlines gathered at a private event in Kuala Lumpur to honor their 13 colleagues who were on Flight 370, the airline said. MH370: Families reflect one year later MH370: Families reflect one year later 02:20 "We miss them and we will never forget them. They will always remain in our hearts," Malaysia Airlines Chairman Mohamad Nor Yusof told the gathering, according to the airline. Between 200 and 300 people gathered at a public commemoration at a mall in Kuala Lumpur. Family members of about 20 passengers aboard the plane attended the event, which involved songs, poetry reading and the signing of a petition urging the Malaysian government to continue the search. Most of the passengers on Flight 370 were Chinese. But in Beijing, paying respects to missing loved ones proved difficult. A heavy police presence at a temple intimidated some relatives of passengers who had gone there to honor their family members.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370: How much will families be paid? To the long list of unanswered questions about Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, add one that can't be answered with search planes, black boxes or satellite data. How much money does the airline owe its passengers' families? International and contract law provide some answers, but the true figures will likely be settled when insurance claims and lawsuits are filed by relatives of the flight's 239 victims. Some attorneys, citing their past work on plane crashes, say the total for each passenger could vary from $400,000 to $10 million. Based on calculations and more than two weeks of searching, Malaysia Airlines this week declared the airliner lost and said "none of the passengers and crew on board survived." The carrier said it has offered families an initial payment of $5,000 per passenger. At least one U.S.-based case against Malaysia Airlines and Boeing, which manufactured the aircraft, is in progress. Aviation attorney Monica Kelly said she filed a request for documents and other information in an Illinois court on Tuesday. She said she represents Januari Siregar, whose son was aboard the Flight 370. Boeing declined to comment late Tuesday, and officials with Malaysia Airlines couldn't immediately be reached. Here are answers to some questions about compensation for the victims. $5,000 isn't a lot of money. Can victims' families expect more? The initial payment is just that -- assistance to handle immediate expenses like travel and lodging. Insurance claims and lawsuits will likely be handled separately. Many factors will be considered in those negotiations between families and the airlines' insurers, which will make each family an offer and seek to settle the claim. Related: Passengers' families could collect millions Bradley Meinhardt, a managing director at risk management services firm Arthur J. Gallagher & Co., gave an example. "They're going to look at the earning potential of that deceased individual and the fact that he's got a wife and young kids that are going to need to be provided for for a long time," he said. "A single individual is going to be calculated differently." Those calculations will vary based on age, the victim's country of residence and a variety of other factors, he said. Despite the intrigue surrounding the missing plane, the claims will move forward quite normally, Meinhardt said. "The accident is just like any other accident," he said. "The only difference is nobody knows exactly what caused it." Can the families also file lawsuits? Yes, and many likely will. Some, Meinhardt said, will be looking to make a statement of frustration with the airline. Others may pursue targets beyond the airline, such Boeing (BA). Those cases could be more difficult to prove without physical evidence from the 777 jet. Mark Dombroff, an attorney who works with the airline industry and previously worked for the Federal Aviation Administration and Department of Justice, said there is "utterly no basis at all" to believe that a defective product caused the crash. The lawsuits wouldn't depend on "whether they find the aircraft or not," he said. Instead, the suits would revolve around the airline's obligation to provide its passengers safe passage from point A to point B. Related: Crowdsourcing site hunts for plane An international law known as the Montreal Convention specifies where cases may be brought. The families can sue, for example, in the country where the passengers bought the ticket, where the airline is based or their final destination. That means most suits would be brought in Chinese or Malaysian courts. Dombroff said only families of the three Americans could sue Malaysia Airlines in U.S. courts. When will the first insurance claims be paid? International law requires airlines to carry hefty insurance policies that cover the passengers and plane in nearly every circumstance. Nuclear detonations are the only events that aren't typically covered, Meinhardt said. The first claims involving passengers could be paid out in the coming weeks and months. A claim for the lost aircraft itself is already in motion. Insurer Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty said last week that it and other firms "have made initial payments" of an unspecified amount as part of "our contractual obligations where an aircraft is reported as missing." Meinhardt said that policy is upward of $100 million and is typically paid directly to the airline or funneled into an escrow account. Families can also begin to collect on any life insurance policies or flight insurance they have purchased. Those claims are handled separately from the airline's insurance. What if the airline goes bankrupt? Malaysia Airlines lost money in the final three months of 2013. But even if the airline's financial situation worsens and it becomes insolvent, families of the victims can still collect through the maze of insurance policies. The industry norm totals between $2 billion and $2.5 billion of coverage per plane, said aviation attorney Dan Rose of Kreindler & Kreindler. That typically includes about $10 million of insurance behind each passenger, said Brian Havel, a law professor and director of the International Aviation Law Institute at DePaul University. Don't expect a major incident like this one to sink the insurers, either. "The aviation insurance market is highly specialized and involves multiple consortia of different insurance companies -- insurers and reinsurers," Havel said. Multiple insurers take small stakes of the larger policies so no single company bears the entire risk. How is this different than if the crash happened in the U.S.? Besides international law, local law specifies how the investigation will be carried out and victims' families will be handled. U.S. law requires airlines to develop family assistance plans that include compensation for expenses in addition to the claims paid by insurers. Dombroff said Malaysia Airlines is likely adapting U.S. procedures, since they are the industry gold standard. But those plans have limits. "The very best emergency response plan is only good for the first several hours and after that you respond to and you're trying to stay out in front," he said.
