| Editor's Pick: Virtual Reality a Sports Training Game Changer Posted: 06 Feb 2015 12:31 PM PST  Pam Baker 02/06/15 5:00 AM PT |  | Virtual reality is the next level in sports training. While once the focus was on building the players' physical size, strength, stamina, physical agility and muscle memory, now it's all about doing the same for players' minds. For example, quarterbacks can see plays as they actually appear on the field and react as if they are physically there, as the VR scene changes according to their movements.

A four-page "fact sheet" on the rules was released Wednesday by FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler. In it, the chairman outlined what he's proposing to the full commission, which is expected to vote on the rules February 26. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81684.html Will Motorola Mobility be a Home Run for Lenovo?  Lenovo is one computer maker that seems to be bucking the trend. In recent years they've continued to grow while others struggle. Smartphone growth suddenly seems to be a point of interest for Lenovo, which recently acquired Motorola Mobility from Google. It's still too early to pronounce Lenovo a big winner in smartphones from this acquisition, but to date, things are looking good. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81683.html FTC Argues Against IoT Law, For Now  The global "installed and connected base" of IoT units will reach approximately 30 billion in 2020, noted IDC in a November 2014 report. Yet now is not the time to enact privacy or security laws aimed directly at the impact of the IoT, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission says. The FTC argues that such specific legislation could stymie the development of IoT technology. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81680.html Promoted Tweets Fly the Coop  With Wall Street breathing down its neck for growth, Twitter on Tuesday launched a new advertising initiative that aims to boost revenues and add to its more than 284 million members. The initiative aims to expand the reach of "Promoted Tweets" on Twitter. Promoted Tweets are ads that Twitter inserts into its members timelines. Now, the company wants them to be seen elsewhere, too. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81675.html YouTube Halftime Show Sets Stage for Cross-Channel Ads  On Sunday evening, as a record 114.4 million people watched Katy Perry, Lenny Kravitz and Missy Elliott rock out during the Super Bowl's halftime show, another show was under way, as well. For the first time, Google's YouTube hosted its own version of halftime on Super Bowl Sunday during roughly the same time slot. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81674.html Will Google and Uber Invade Each Other's Turf?  Google is working on its own ride-hailing service to compete with Uber, according to a Bloomberg report. Meanwhile, Uber has announced a strategic partnership with Carnegie Mellon University that will see the creation of the Uber Advanced Technologies Center in Pittsburgh, Pa. The situation smacks of a soap opera for the autonomous and ride-sharing industries. http://www.ecommercetimes.com/story/81673.html How to Advertise in This Newsletter To advertise in this newsletter or elsewhere on ECT News Network, please call our sales department toll-free at (877) 328-5500, or view our online media kit at http://www.ectnews.com/advertising/ Subscribing and Unsubscribing You are receiving this newsletter in response to your request on the E-Commerce Times Web site for our daily newsletter.

Not that VR is totally new, but fans want more out of their athletes and the sight of such a souped-up technical edge on the field was a novel thrill. But that thrill won't be novel for long as VR is headed for mainstream use in all sports. http://www.technewsworld.com/story/81635.html First Ubuntu Smartphone to Arrive in Europe Next Week  The first smartphone to be powered by the open source Ubuntu operating system will arrive at retail in Europe beginning on Monday, Feb. 9.

Now They Say She’s Dead. Posted: 06 Feb 2015 11:33 AM PST | | Read This, Skip That .... | |   |  | |  |  February 06, 2015 | | Horror Kayla Mueller went to Syria to help suffering children. Then she was abducted by monsters. Shane Harris reports on the 26-year-old American—who would be the fourth to die in ISIS's hands. Signs of Decay Jamie Dettmer reports that disagreements on how to handle foreign prisoners like Mueller, divide the spoils of war, and competition over women are dividing ISIS. Defections are rising and tribes are splintering off. Are the terrorists their own worst enemy? PANTS ON FIRE The pilot who claimed he was flying the Chinook helicopter carrying Brian Williams in Iraq no longer stands by his story. The pilot, Rich Krell, told CNN's Brian Stelter that "the information I gave you was true based on my memories, but at this point I am questioning my memories." He originally said he was in command of the second of three helicopters flying in formation, on which Williams was aboard. He said that the "first bird" was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade (contradicting Williams's story about being inside that helicopter) but that all three came under "small arms fire," lending some credence to Williams's story about getting hit. ROAR! U.S. employers added 257,000 jobs in January, capping off the best three months of consecutive employment growth in 17 years. December's job gains were revised up to 329,000 and November to a whopping 423,000. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics report Friday, the unemployment rate rose to 5.7 percent as more people started looking for work again. Best of all, average hourly earnings went up by 0.5 percent in one month, the most since November 2008. Alarming Trend Estimates released today show more than half a million girls living in America have been cut or are at risk of being cut—more than triple the figure from the first nationwide count.

Posted: 06 Feb 2015 10:30 AM PST The Huffington Post  Culture Shift is a bi-weekly newsletter curated by the HuffPost Arts & Books editors. From literature to visual arts, poetry to performance, get your culture fix here. This week we're talking about author idolatry, the insider/outsider art binary, Nick Hornby's new showbiz novel and figurative cosmos at the New York City Ballet. Is The New Harper Lee Novel A Mistake?: Author Idolatry And 'Go Set A Watchman'  "If Twitter can be seen as representative of broader cultural attitudes, the news surrounding Go Set a Watchman, a novel Harper Lee penned before To Kill a Mockingbird but guarded closely for decades, was received positively -- at first. Most enthused responses weren't elicited by the content of Lee's story, which will be told from the vantage point of an adult Scout -- Mockingbird's brave young protagonist. Instead, cheers sounded for the author, and for her first book, which so many of us associate with the halcyon days of summer reading assignments."

The work was selected collectively by his teachers, and curated by Creativity Explored's Eric Larson. The title references soap operas -- an ongoing motif throughout Green's work. But rather than titling the show 'As The World Turns' or 'General Hospital,' Larson selected 'Days of Our Lives' because, in his words: 'the artwork is really that -- he's writing the story of his life.'" (Read more here) Amanda Filipacchi On The Unfortunate Importance Of Beauty  "Novelist Amanda Filipacchi comes from a beautiful family. Her mother was a Ford model, and she describes the other members of her family -- the non-models -- as 'gorgeous.' Perhaps, she suggested in a recent phone conversation with HuffPost Books, that's why she's so interested in the concept of beauty and the sway it holds in our society. Despite her early association with so much beauty, she says, 'I've been disappointed in my life noticing how important beauty is in relationships in finding love. It puzzles me, I don't quite understand it.'" (Read more here) Nick Hornby's Bland New Showbiz Novel  "A Nick Hornby book has become a minor pop cultural event. His novels High Fidelity and About a Boy, and his memoir Fever Pitch, all inspired wildly popular film adaptations, and About a Boy was recently brought to the small screen in the form of a sitcom starring Minnie Driver. His digestible blend of pop nerdery and heartwarming relationship growth sets his books apart from the average dude lit, and seems to scratch an itch shared widely by mass culture aficionados." (Read more here) Microscopic Bacteria Eat Away At Cosmic Photographs, Unearthing An Entirely New Universe  "'Man is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness from which he emerges and the infinity in which he is engulfed.' So reads the quote of French mathematician Blaise Pascal, emblazoned across the top of photographer Marcus DeSieno's website. There's probably no better phrase to describe the sublime oddity that is the artist's series 'Cosmos.' In essence: he allows bacteria gleaned from the seats of toilets and the bottoms of motel hot tubs to eat away at images of the universe -- elliptical galaxies, planets, nebulae and all." (Read more here) Capturing Energy And The Figurative Cosmos According To Dustin Yellin  "Here in February these forms and their energy are frozen in layers of glass, arranged on enormous slides, their components visible without microscope. Dustin Yellin neatly spaces the stacked slices of stilled movement across the cosmos of this great minimalist hall at Lincoln Center and hits them with focused beams of light. And what do they reveal? A myriad of found objects, clippings, images, textures, mirrors, gestures, memories, emotions."
