7digital, the streaming music company that offers a direct-to-consumer service but also partners with the likes of Samsung and Pure to power respectively its Music Hub and radio music services on connected devices like smartphones, tablets and music players, today announced a significant international expansion into the emerging markets of India, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and South Africa, where it says it has now inked deals both with major as well as independent labels to further expand its catalog of 22 million tracks in 42 countries. The expansion also means that 7digital has stolen a march on Spotify, which is in 26 countries, including much of Europe and the U.S., but yet to hit emerging markets.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/VB_h7xudtN0/

MASK OFF MEXICO: Leaders in the Government of the United States' southern neighbor ignored Fast and Furious, now exploiting Sandy Hook
If you ever wondered why the Mexican government seemed to go out of its way to address an operation led by the U.S. Government, designed to put weapons into the hands of drug cartels, who used those guns to murder innocent people, the actions of Mexico's lawmakers may help answer that question. They are lobbying U.S. Senators to force Arizona, California, Texas, and New Mexico to force their citizens to register all guns.
Ben Barrack, conservative talk show host, writer, and author of the new book, Unsung Davids, says that when contrasted with the lack of interest on the part of Mexican officials over Fast and Furious, this attempt by Mexican politicians says quite a bit. ?This basically confirms that Mexican authorities are on-board with the Obama administration's attempt to exploit the Sandy Hook shootings,? Barrack said.
The good news, Barrack says, is that American citizens are beginning to connect the dots when it comes to contrasting those two events. In a local CBS news report in Arizona, citizens were interveiwed about the proposal of Mexican lawmakers and multiple references were made to Fast and Furious. ?The behavior of these Mexican officials is the equivalent of ripping their masks off. They're in on it and it doesn't matter why. Ends do not justify the means,? Barrack said.
Some believe that Mexico is playing ball with the Obama administration because it doesn't want to threaten trade relations with the U.S. ?This would be a form of soft blackmail,? Barrack says, ?and if that's being done to prevent the truth about an operation designed to produce dead bodies to further gun control, we have a big, big problem.?
?Once people begin contrasting the details of Fast and Furious with what is being done in the wake of Sandy Hook, a lot of things become very, very clear. In particular,? Barrack says, ?something people cannot bring themselves to admit.?

Admir Suljic, suspected of match-fixing in global?football, has been taken into custody by Italian police.
The Slovenian was detained by Italian authorities after landing at Milan's Malpensa airport on a flight from Singapore on Thursday.
Suljic is wanted by judicial authorities in the?Italian?city of Cremona investigating a massive match-fixing case that has already brought the arrests of more than 50 people, with more than 150 under investigation.
Italian police said Suljic had been on the run since December 2011 and was considered a "key element" in the Last Bet operation.
Police said he spent significant time in Singapore in close contact with the alleged fixing organisation's chiefs.
Earlier on Thursday, speaking at a match-fixing conference in neighbouring Malaysia, Ronald Noble, secretary-general of Interpol, said that Singaporean police had notified authorities in Italy that a suspected match-fixer was flying to Milan.
Singapore has come under growing pressure to act after Europol linked hundreds of suspicious games worldwide to a criminal syndicate in the city-state.
Crime syndicate
Noble said the man was wanted in Italy because he is allegedly working for Tan Seet Eng, a Singaporean businessman, known as Dan Tan, for whom Italian authorities have issued an arrest warrant.
Italian police said Suljic wanted to turn himself in to Italian authorities and that he faces charges of criminal association and sports fraud.
In November, Serbian footballer Almir Gegic, who had also been wanted by Italian authorities, turned himself in at Malpensa.
Tan is accused of heading a crime syndicate that made millions of dollars betting on rigged Italian football matches.
Italian officials have been unable to take Tan into custody as the arrest warrant cannot be served while he is?in Asia.
Acknowledging that Singapore has come under criticism for not detaining Tan, Noble said authorities there were restrained because they had to follow their own laws and could only take action when there was enough evidence.
However, Noble added that investigators worldwide have been slow to catch up with match-fixers because they were so far "not properly prepared to work together" and share enough information with their international counterparts.
Ralf Mutschke, FIFA head of security, said at the Malaysian conference that he hoped Tan would be brought to face the courts with the help of Singaporean authorities.
Singapore's role
For their part, Singaporean police said on Thursday that?Tan was "assisting" investigations.
Tan, who has been named in several investigations and is wanted in Italy, but denies wrongdoing, is "currently assisting Singapore authorities in their investigations", a police statement said.
It is the first time police have indicated Tan has undergone questioning.
Police also confirmed they gave the tip-off that led to the arrest of Sulic.
"The Singapore authorities have been offering assistance and sharing available information with affected countries and will continue to do so," the statement said.
The Singapore Police Force also announced on Thursday that four senior officers from the SPF and Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) will be heading to the Interpol Headquarters in Lyon, France, to join the Global Anti-Match-fixing Taskforce.
Tan's former associate, Wilson Raj Perumal, has alleged to Italian investigators that Tan placed syndicate wagers on fixed games using Asia-based online betting sites via intermediaries in China.
A report by the EU's police agency earlier this month said organised crime gangs, including ones in Asia, have fixed or tried to fix hundreds of football matches around the world.
Europol said its 18-month review found 380 suspicious matches in Europe and another 300 questionable games outside the continent, mainly in Africa, Asia and South and Central America.

Feb. 20, 2013 ? The walls of the human heart are a disorganised jumble of tissue until relatively late in pregnancy despite having the shape of a fully functioning heart, according to a pioneering study.
A University of Leeds-led team developing the first comprehensive model of human heart development using observations of living fetal hearts found surprising differences from existing animal models.
Although they saw four clearly defined chambers in the fetal heart from the eighth week of pregnancy, they did not find organised muscle tissue until the 20th week, much later than expected.
Developing an accurate, computerised simulation of the fetal heart is critical to understanding normal heart development in the womb and, eventually, to opening new ways of detecting and dealing with some functional abnormalities early in pregnancy.
Studies of early heart development have previously been largely based on other mammals such as mice or pigs, adult hearts and dead human samples. The Leeds-led team is using scans of healthy fetuses in the womb, including one mother who volunteered to have detailed weekly ECG (electrocardiography) scans from 18 weeks until just before delivery.
This functional data is incorporated into a 3D computerised model built up using information about the structure, shape and size of the different components of the heart from two types of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans of dead fetuses' hearts.
Early results from the project, which involves researchers from Leeds, the University of Edinburgh, the University of Nottingham, the University of Manchester and the University of Sheffield, show that the human heart may develop on a different timeline from other mammals.
While the tissue in the walls of a pig heart develops a highly organised structure at a relatively early stage of a fetus's development, a paper from the Leeds-led team published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface Focus reports that the there is little organisation of the human heart's cells until 20 weeks into pregnancy.
A pig's pregnancy lasts about three months and the organised structure of the walls of the heart emerge in the first month of pregnancy. The new study only detected similar organised structures well into the second trimester of the human pregnancy. Human fetuses have a regular heartbeat from about 22 days.
Dr Eleftheria Pervolaraki, Visiting Research Fellow at the University of Leeds' School of Biomedical Sciences, said: "For a heart to be beating effectively, we thought you needed a smoothly changing orientation of the muscle cells through the walls of the heart chambers. Such an organisation is seen in the hearts of all healthy adult mammals.
"Fetal hearts in other mammals such as pigs, which we have been using as models, show such an organisation even early in gestation, with a smooth change in cell orientation going through the heart wall. But what we actually found is that such organisation was not detectable in the human fetus before 20 weeks," she said.
Professor Arun Holden, also from Leeds' School of Biomedical Sciences, said: "The development of the fetal human heart is on a totally different timeline, a slower timeline, from the model that was being used before. This upsets our assumptions and raises new questions. Since the wall of the heart is structurally disorganised, we might expect to find arrhythmias, which are a bad sign in an adult. It may well be that in the early stages of development of the heart arrhythmias are not necessarily pathological and that there is no need to panic if we find them. Alternatively, we could find that the disorganisation in the tissue does not actually lead to arrhythmia."
A detailed computer model of the activity and architecture of the developing heart will help make sense of the limited information doctors can obtain about the fetus using non-invasive monitoring of a pregnant woman.
Professor Holden said: "It is different from dealing with an adult, where you can look at the geometry of an individual's heart using MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) or CT (Computerised Tomography) scans. You can't squirt x-rays at a fetus and we also currently tend to avoid MRI, so we need a model into which we can put the information we do have access to."
He added: "Effectively, at the moment, fetal ECGs are not really used. The textbooks descriptions of the development of the human heart are still founded on animal models and 19th century collections of abnormalities in museums. If you are trying to detect abnormal activity in fetal hearts, you are only talking about third trimester and postnatal care of premature babies. By looking at how the human heart actually develops in real life and creating a quantitative, descriptive model of its architecture and activity from the start of a pregnancy to birth, you are expanding electrocardiology into the fetus."

Former Bears probowl receiver and return man Johnny Knox has announced that he?s moving on from the NFL after still reeling from the affects of a gruesome hit he took vs the Seahawks in 2011.
NFL.com reported on the surprising news, as just 14 months removed from the accident Knox has decided to call it a career.
?As an athlete, you don?t want to give up, you want to keep on fighting. That?s how I?ve always been,?
?But it?s been on my heart for a while. I know how my body feels, and I know I?m not going to be the same and perform at the ability that I used to.?
?So I?m moving on and going forward.?
The Bears have since terminated Knox?s contract. But Knox?s agent did previously say that he would try to launch a return to the league. Knox suffered a spinal injury, which had to be fused back in place and resulted in him missing all of the next season.
Knox now walks with a limp and struggles to stand comfortably, despite the arduous rehab stints. Knox is just happy to be alive and not paralyzed and isn?t showing any regrets in his decision
?My whole life, I?ve always been positive, and people ask me, ?Man, why are you so positive??
?But I know things will work out for the best.?
Knox?s second child was born just a few days before the injury which resulted in his truncated career. Let?s wish Knox all the best, as he knows what?s best for his own health.
Keep your head up, young man.
