The music video for Nicki Minaj's latest single has dropped, and it definitely has our stamp of approval. "Right By My Side," which premiered Wednesday night, features Chris Brown (on vocals) and Nas (just being himself) as two men trying to win over the 29-year-old's affections.

Good HDTVs aren't always good-looking. You can have a bright and colorful screen capable of reaching inky blacks while not being visually stunning in its design. As more features become available in less-expensive HDTVs, it's design flourishes that become part of the justification for premium prices. The Panasonic TC-L47DT50 is an ideal example of this premise. At $1,899.99 (direct), this 47-inch, LED-edgelit LCD HDTV is more expensive than our budget Editors' Choice, the 55-inch Vizio M3D550KD ($1,429.99, 4 stars), but offers a similar feature set. What you get for the extra $500: active-shutter 3D, a better-than-average sound system, and one of the prettiest bezels we've seen on an HDTV yet.
Editors' Note: This review is based on tests performed on the Panasonic TC-L47DT50, the 47-inch model in the same series. Besides the screen size difference, the $2,499.99 TC-L55DT50 is identical in features, and while we didn't perform lab tests on this specific model, we expect similar performance.
Design
Simply stated: The L47DT50 is gorgeous. Its bezel is constructed of metal with a glass overhang on the bottom edge that houses a glowing Panasonic logo in the middle its transparent surface. The design is clean and a refreshing change from the usual black bezels on most HDTVs. Behind the bezel, the right edge holds the standard power, input, channel up/down, and volume up/down buttons, and four HDMI inputs and two USB ports are lined up behind the left edge. The composite, component, cable, Ethernet, and optical audio ports face down on bottom edge, and all are easily accessible even if the HDTV is mounted on a wall.
You can connect to online services and apps through Panasonic's Viera Connect service, which accesses the Internet through the HDTV's built-in Wi-Fi or Ethernet port. It supports Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video, YouTube, and several other streaming video and music services. You can download apps and set up additional services through the Viera Connect store. It even includes a Web browser that supports HTML5, and you can make video calls with Skype if you purchase the optional $130 TY-CC20W Webcam. The browser loaded PCMag.com almost perfectly, though the font looks slightly different than it typically does on computers.
Performance
We test HDTVs with the Konica-Minolta CS-200 chromameter and DisplayMate test patterns, and we analyze color accuracy with Spectracal's CalMAN software. We perform basic brightness, contrast, and color temperature adjustments pretest, but don't otherwise calibrate the screen. Based on our tests, the L47DT50 reached a satisfying but not record-breaking peak white level of 275.58 cd/m2?and a black level of 0.03 cd/m2, for a contrast ratio of 9,186:1. The Vizio M3D550KD , on the other hand, reached respective levels of 364.75 cd/m2?and 0.02 cd/m2, for a nearly double contrast ratio of 18,237:1. Color levels were very accurate, with red and blue spot-on and green edging just slightly toward blue as seen in the chart below. The color squares are the ideal red, green, and blue values, and the colored circles are the screen's measured red, green, and blue values.?
I watched the?Piranha?Blu-ray on the L47DT50, and was suitably impressed by the color balance and contrast. While the dark colors of the deep don't get quite as inky and black as the high-end Editors' Choice Sharp Elite Pro-60X5FD ($5,999.99, 4 stars), it gets satisfyingly dark. The edge lighting resulted in some slight bloom on the left edge of the screen, but not significantly more than similar edge-lit LCD HDTVs.
While the L47DT50 supports 3D, it doesn't come with any glasses. You need to get a pair of active shutter glasses from Panasonic for $80 each, adding to the cost of the HDTV if you want to use it as a 3D TV. I watched a demonstration video of Gran Turismo 5 for the PlayStation 3 in 3D, and the HDTV showed noticeable depth and little crosstalk, but the picture didn't quite pop off the screen like the Pro-60X5FD .
We don't usually consider HDTVs for their sound, because generally even very good HDTV speakers pale in comparison to add-on speakers or even an inexpensive soundbar. However, the L47DT50 is notable for its "8-Train" speaker system, a row of eight dome speakers and a subwoofer mounted on the back of the screen. It can't replace a high-end soundbar and it doesn't offer surround sound, but it's markedly louder and clearer than most other HDTV speakers, with the exception of the ?Bose VideoWave ($5,349, 4 stars), which is known for its audio prowess.
The L47DT50 consumes an average of 96 watts with no energy saving features enabled and an average of 83 watts with energy saving set to "Standard," which slightly dims the screen but is otherwise very watchable. This is a solid showing, but it doesn't quite hit the 66- and 48-watt levels of the 46-inch Sony KDL-46EX620 ($809.99, 3.5 stars) or the 55-inch LG 55LM6700 ($2,299.99, 4 stars), both LED-backlit LCD HDTVs like the Panasonic.?
Sure, there are more impressive HDTVs than the $1,900?Panasonic TC-L47DT50. The?LG 55LM6700 , for one, offers up glasses-included passive 3D and a cool motion-controlled remote, or there's the Sharp Elite Pro-60X5FD with its best-in-class picture, but they're both more expensive. You'll need to add to the L47DT50's?price if you want 3D glasses, and it doesn't get quite as bright or dark as the larger, less expensive passive-3D Vizio M3D550KD. Still, if you value design and high-quality build, but don't want to spend more than $2,000, the L47DT50 is definitely worth considering. But if your main concern is getting more screen for less money, the Vizio stands as the best low-cost, big-screen option we've tested.

Baltimore Ravens
Notable Selections: DT Terrence Cody, OT Michael Oher, WR Torrey Smith & CB Lardarius Webb
Recap: Living up to expectations isn?t easy. Just ask Ozzie Newsome, who is widely regarded as one of the league?s best talent evaluators. Since ?09, Baltimore?s added several quality starters through the draft. Oher?s solidified himself as the starting right tackle, though he struggled on the left side. Smith and Cody are solid starters and their best years are likely ahead of them. The closest thing to a game-changer, however, is Webb, who?s emerging as one of the AFC?s most underrated corners.
2012 Selections: LB Courtney Upshaw, OG Kelechi Osemele, RB Bernard Pierce, C Gino Gradkowski, S Christian Thompson, CB Asa Jackson, WR Tommy Streeter, & DE DeAngelo Tyson
Outlook: Because their roster consists of several veterans, Baltimore isn?t without long-term needs. Upshaw has to contribute immediately because of LB Terrell Suggs?s Achilles injury. I think he can. He plays hard, works hard, and is just an all-around clean player. The addition of Osemele gives the Ravens an option to replace Ben Grubbs and Jackson is an intriguing small-school prospect. There isn?t anything particularly flashy about this class, but there?s a whole lot of substance, and that's exactly how Baltimore builds their roster.
Cincinnati Bengals
Notable Selections: QB Andy Dalton, WR A.J. Green, TE Jermaine Gresham, LB Rey Maualuga, & OT Andre Smith
Recap: Mike Brown receives a lot of criticism for many bonehead decisions over the years. QBs David Klinger and Akili Smith immediately come to mind, but recently, he?s done a good job drafting talent. Nevertheless, the ?11 draft will make or break Cincinnati?s future. The good news is Green appears to be a homerun. He?s the most dynamic rookie receiver since Randy Moss and he?s not slowing down. Dalton?s interesting. He played well a year ago, but the jury is still out on his ability. Is he simply a game-manger? Does he have the ability to create with his arm and legs? Those questions remain unanswered.
2012 Selection: CB Dre Kirkpatrick, OG Kevin Zeitler, DT Devon Still, WR Mohamed Sanu, DT Brandon Thompson, TE Orson Charles, CB Shaun Porter, WR Marvin Jones, S George Iloka, & RB Dan Herron
Outlook: The Bengals acquired extra choices after moving down in round one, not to mention they had an extra first rounder because of a trade that sent QB Carson Palmer to Oakland. Regardless, Cincinnati did an excellent job of addressing their needs, but also not reaching for many of their players. Each selection represents quality value. Many organizations overvalue their talent after a postseason appearance. The Bengals did the opposite and created more competition at several positions.
Cleveland Browns
Notable Selections: CB Joe Haden, C Alex Mack, QB Colt McCoy, DE Jabaal Sheard, & S T.J. Ward
Recap: The Browns are playing from behind and their previous drafts reflect this fact. Of their eight picks in ?09, six of them are flat-out misses. The team did add Haden and Ward a year later under President Mike Holmgren. In fact, Haden is coming off an outstanding year, where he may have put himself in the discussion of elite corners. That year also saw Montario Hardesty and McCoy in rounds two and three, respectively. Both picks whiffed in a big way and the Browns all but accepted this as fact, when they chose a running back and quarterback in round one of this year?s draft.
2012 Selections: RB Trent Richardson, QB Brandon Weeden, OT Mitchell Schwartz, DT John Hughes, WR Travis Benjamin, LB James-Michael Johnson, OG Ryan Miller, LB Emmanuel Acho, DT Billy Winn, CB Trevin Wade, & FB Brad Smelley
Outlook: The Browns have many needs, so it?s not surprising to see them accumulate several draft picks. Their trade with Atlanta in ?10 netted them an extra first-round pick, though they did lose Julio Jones, as a result. Nevertheless, the Browns took Weeden with that choice, and thus, the front office has forever tied itself to a 28-year-old signal caller from Oklahoma State. They?re playing a dangerous game. Many teams are beginning to panic because they don?t have a franchise quarterback. The Browns may have done that, but they deserve credit for landing Richardson, who should solidify their running game for the next 5-10 years.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Notable Selections: WR Antonio Brown, OT Marcus Gilbert, DE Ziggy Hood, C Maurkice Pouncey, & WR Mike Wallace
Recap: Pittsburgh is the NFL?s model for consistency. We?re talking about an organization that?s had three coaches in 43 years. They draft very well, too. Pouncey is already an all-pro caliber center, Hood is starting to develop, and Gilbert started 13 games a year ago. It?s also hard not to love the additions of Brown and Wallace from the draft. Both receivers had over 1,000 yards receiving in ?11 and they developed soon after the Steelers decided to part ways with troublesome WR Santonio Holmes. Neither was a first-round pick.
2012 Selections: OG David DeCastro, OT Mike Adams, LB Sean Spence, DT Alameda Ta?amu, RB Chris Rainey, WR Toney Clemons, TE David Paulson, CB Terrence Frederick, & OG Kelvin Beachum
Outlook: Very few teams deserve the benefit of the doubt. The Packers and Ravens immediately come to mind as examples. The Steelers do as well. Kevin Colbert is quietly the best general manger in football that nobody mentions. He fills out his roster well and his team is always among the toughest in football. In addition, he finds starters from the mid-rounds. The Steelers' receiving core is a testament to this success. In the future, Ta?amu could be a starter in Pittsburgh?s 3-4 defense. He was a fourth-round pick.

More and more, I hear about colleagues communicating via electronic media about patients. Almost daily, I am asked to communicate with referring physicians about their patients outside the normal report. That trend was confirmed when I read an article about PACS systems that allow SMS or other rapid digital communication beyond the typical PACS or RIS log in.
Certainly such efficiencies of communication are the wave of the future, even present. They will allow physicians to seamlessly share critical results and will reduce time spent tracking down other physicians or results. This means that tools for sharing information are very powerful for radiologists. In addition, as a profession predicated on a visual format, radiology lends itself to electronic media and sharing of information.
Beyond direct patient care, many professional friends share cases and to ask for opinions. But that kind of communication has its limitation and dangers. While recent articles talk about leveraging new tools for this, other publications have warned of abuses of the technology, either through inadvertent or inappropriate interactions.
Amongst the tools, social networking is one of the most powerful. Several sites intended just for physicians now exist and can be good places to share experiences. But any information shared there must be completely anonymous. Remember too, that you are still legally responsible for the content you post.
Beyond that, realize that there is not a way to verify that the persons using this are health professionals so be careful in trusting information you get there. That works both ways as what you share can be disseminated to and attributed to you. And lastly, realize anything you say can be used against you. Patients can see what you post or share too, so always be professional. That goes for all interactions in the electronic space.
A few more comments:
Try not to mix personal and professional anything ? blogs, social networking, cell phone, if at all possible. For example, if you have professional Facebook account for the office, keep the content for patients only. If patients try to contact you this way, refer them to your office and have them call or come in for advice. Avoid the temptation to have any personal contact with any patients. Keep it professional. Once you start a doctor-patient relationship in the office or even online, the relationship is that forever, so be careful.
Remember email is not secure unless accessed under a secure network, so sharing patient information is dangerous. That image of the interesting case that you sent out for your colleagues to give you an opinion has patient data on it. And the photo of your procedure from yesterday that you posted shows the patient?s face. That sort of problem is easy to miss ? and may cost you.
Texting may be even more problematic. You can?t validate who picks up the phone that the surgeon lays down in the OR, and SMS is not a secure medium. So if you don?t have a secure cell network, make sure you share this way very carefully. At a minimum verify that the receiver wants information this way and that it is private before you send it. And never add any editorial information.

The gas leak from the Elgin platform in the North Sea has been stopped, according to oil firm Total.
The company's platform was evacuated when the gas began leaking on Sunday 25 March.
An attempt to stop the leak by pumping heavy mud into the well got under way on Tuesday.
Total said the operation had stopped the well leak within 12 hours and described the development as a "major turning point".
Learn lessonsYves-Louis Darricarr?re, Total's president of exploration and production, said: "Our absolute priority was to stop the gas leak safely and as quickly as possible.
"We shall now fully complete the ongoing task and take into account the lessons learnt from this incident."

There's been significant progress in bringing sight to the blind in recent years, and this looks set to continue that miraculous trend. Scientists at Stanford University have invented a subretinal photodiode implant for people who have lost their vision due to degenerative retinal diseases. Existing tech involves batteries and wires, but the new implant works without such crude appendages. Instead, it's activated by near-infrared beams projected by a camera that's mounted on glasses worn by the patient. Those beams then stimulate the optice nerve to allow light perception, motion detection and even basic shape awareness. The glasses also have an onboard camera that records what the patient sees. It hasn't actually been tested with humans just yet, but the first few rodents volunteers have yet to lodge a single complaint.

If you are like many people with an idea for a profitable business, you hit a brick wall when you try to get a small business loan from a bank. Perhaps you don't have a great credit score, or you haven't been able to establish any credit record at all. Maybe you don't have a lot of education or a business track record. You may not even have a bank account, much less a personal relationship with a banker.
It is a painful experience to be ignored or rejected, especially when you know you have a good idea and the motivation to make it work. Fortunately there is an alternative to bank lending that has emerged over the past decade in the United States: Microfinancing. Microfinance Institutions (also known as MFI's) provide small loans and other helpful services to businesses and individuals who find it difficult or impossible to get financing through traditional means. Originally limited to developing countries, there are now a number of these lenders in the United States and Mexico--and the trend is growing.
MFI's differ from banks in that they exist to help people who can't get funding through the usual financial institutions. They know that not being able to meet a bank's requirements doesn't mean you can't be successful. In addition to loans they often provide business counseling, advice, and ongoing support to help establish and grow your business. Each MFI operates a little differently and has its own policies regarding eligibility and the timing and method of repaying your loans. While they typically don't insist that you have a bank account, credit record, collateral or someone to guarantee your loan, they may require that you join a small group to receive training and counseling. Loans must be repaid according to agreed terms and schedules. Once your initial loan has been repaid, you may be able to get additional loans to grow your business. Loan amounts differ among MFI's but may range anywhere from 0 to as much as 0,000.
End Small Business Loan Frustration: Finance Your Dream Without A Bank
Some of the better known Microfinance Institutions in the United States include Grameen America and ACCION U.S.A., both of which operate nationally. There are also regional organizations such as The Opportunity Fund for those in California, and CASH (the Community Alliance for Self Help) in Seattle.
Another exciting development is the creation of non-profit groups formed to allow individuals to make donations which are pooled together to increase the funding available for micro-lending. One such organization is KIVA in San Francisco. Donors can search through descriptions of actual borrowers and businesses all over the world (including the U.S.) and make loans of as little as to a specific individual. As the loan is repaid, the donor receives credits which can then be reinvested, donated, or cashed out.
Whether you are seeking a small business loan or you would like to support borrowers, there are organizations ready to make your transaction a painless -- and even uplifting -- experience.

Vodafone Portugal was so excited to hear about HTC's Desire C that it added it to the company's summer brochure -- despite it not being officially announced. The catalog reveals that the low-end handset will arrive with a 3.5-inch, 320 x 480 display, a 600MHz processor and a 5-megapixel camera. It'll run on the country's 3.5G network (HSDPA to you and me) and you'll find Ice Cream Sandwich sharing the room on that 4GB of on-board storage. It's also reported to have a 1,320mAh battery and will retail for €200 ($260) once it's finished enjoying the Iberian weather.

Sure, Nokia's Lumia 900 and 808 PureView may have garnered much of the spotlight lately, but lest we forgot about its flagship MeeGo handset, the N9. If you've been anxiously hoping to somehow score this slab of polycarbonate unlocked in the US sans gray-market importers, apparently Fry's Electronics has you covered. Phone News spotted a listing for the phone in the store's latest weekly ad -- although upon closer inspection, it appears that the retailer isn't too sure about its actual specs. Aside from describing the 3.9-inch slab of polycarbonate as a 4.3-inch device, it's also flubbed on the OS, calling it "Mego." Perhaps the most interesting error, however, is that the handset's ClearBlack AMOLED display is listed as Super AMOLED -- Samsung's competing technology. Assuming these are merely errors, you'll be able to pick one up for a spendy $600. Hit up the source link below to view the full ad.
