Build a giant Android tablet (or kiosk) with an Android TV stick + touch frame

You can take any old Android TV stick, plug it into your TV and add a keyboard, mouse or remote to run Android apps on a big screen. But what if you want to add support for multi-touch so you can really use your big screen like a big tablet?

Peau Productions has put together a PQ Labs Android mini PC and an PQ Labs Touch Frame to create a TV-sized tablet that could be used for digital signage, a kiosk-type setup, or for some heavy-duty Angry Birds sessions on your TV.

The PQ Labs iStick A200 is an Android mini PC with a Rockchip RK3066 dual core processor, Mali 400 quad-core graphics, 2GB of RAM, and 4GB of storage. There?s a USB port on one end and an HDMI port on the other. It sells for about $79 and comes pre-rooted.

The PQ Labs Multi-Touch G4 frame is a ?32 inch or larger overlay frame that you can use with a projector or TV display to add support for multi-touch input.

Prics for the frames start at about $467. So while the iStick A200 won?t put a big dent in your wallet, the whole kit doesn?t come particularly cheap. Still, it?s pretty impressive that you can set up a fully functional touchscreen device that runs Android apps including a web browser, video player, Google Maps, and many other apps.

Marcellus Shale Fracking Study To Research Natural Gas Drilling Health Effects

DANVILLE, Pa. (AP) ? A Pennsylvania health company says it has gotten a $1 million grant to study possible health impacts of natural gas drilling on the Marcellus shale.

Geisinger Health System said Monday that the Degenstein Foundation had awarded the money to help underwrite what it called a "large-scale, scientifically rigorous assessment" of the drilling.

Most of the money will be used for data-gathering, and some will go toward developing studies of the data. Officials said they expect other funders to come forward.

The study is to look at detailed health histories of hundreds of thousands of patients who live near wells and other facilities that are producing natural gas from the Marcellus shale formation thousands of feet underground. The boom in drilling has generated jobs and billions of dollars in revenue for companies and individual leaseholders, but it also raised health concern.

Geisinger Health Systems of Danville, Guthrie Health of Sayre and Susquehanna Health will collaborate on planning and execution of the study, including developing a health surveillance network aimed at assessing and reporting on the patient data gathered from electronic health records.

"The goal is to create a cross-disciplinary, integrated and sharable repository of data on environmental exposures, health outcomes and community impacts of Marcellus shale drilling ? the first systematic longitudinal study to do so," the announcement said. "Some of the potential health effects that are likely to be investigated first include asthma, trauma and cardiovascular disease."

Preliminary results could be available within the next year, while other findings are expected in five years and over the next two decades.

Many federal and state regulators say hydraulic fracturing is safe when done properly, and that thousands of wells have been drilled with few complaints of pollution. But environmental groups and some doctors assert that regulations still aren't tough enough and that the practice can pollute groundwater and air.

A decision earlier this month by state regulators in New York to delay a decision on shale gas development pending a more in-depth health study in that state drew praise from environmental groups but protests from landowners eager to reap profits from their mineral resources and frustrated at another delay in a rulemaking process that has kept drilling on hold for 4? years.

Health Commissioner Nirav Shah cited Geisinger's planned study as one of several that have been initiated or published by the scientific community. Also cited was an EPA study on potential impacts of fracking activities on drinking water that is due to be completed in 2014 and a study recently announced by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania in collaboration with scientists from Columbia, Johns Hopkins and the University of North Carolina.

Miami responds to NCAA review

February, 18, 2013

Feb 18

6:27

PM ET

Miami president Donna Shalala issued a statement responding to the NCAA's enforcement review report, released Monday.

?The University takes full responsibility for the conduct of its employees and student-athletes. Where the evidence of NCAA violations has been substantiated, we have self-imposed appropriate sanctions, including unilaterally eliminating once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for our students and coaches over the past two years, and disciplining and withholding players from competition.

We believe strongly in the principles and values of fairness and due process. However, we have been wronged in this investigation, and we believe that this process must come to a swift resolution, which includes no additional punitive measures beyond those already self-imposed.

In September 2010?two and a half years ago?the University of Miami advised the NCAA of allegations made by a convicted felon against former players and, at that time, we pledged our full cooperation with any investigation into the matter. One year later, in August 2011, when the NCAA?s investigation into alleged rules violations was made public, I pledged we would ?vigorously pursue the truth, wherever that path may lead? and insisted upon ?complete, honest, and transparent cooperation with the NCAA from our staff and students.?

The University of Miami has lived up to those promises, but sadly the NCAA has not lived up to their own core principles. The lengthy and already flawed investigation has demonstrated a disappointing pattern of unprofessional and unethical behavior. By the NCAA leadership?s own admission, the University of Miami has suffered from inappropriate practices by NCAA staff. There have also been damaging leaks to the media of unproven charges. Regardless of where blame lies internally with the NCAA, even one individual, one act, one instance of malfeasance both taints the entire process and breaches the public?s trust.

There must be a strong sense of urgency to bring this to closure. Our dedicated staff and coaches, our outstanding student-athletes, and our supporters deserve nothing less.?

Goodell paid more than $29 million by NFL in 2011

FILE - In this Dec. 12, 2012 file photo, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell smiles during a news conference after the NFL owners meeting in Irving, Texas. Roger Goodell was paid $29.49 million by NFL owners in 2011, nearly triple his compensation from the previous year. Goodell earned $11.6 million in 2010.

NEW YORK ? Nice job, Roger Goodell. Here's your pay: $29.49 million.

NFL owners nearly tripled the commissioner's compensation in the 2011 tax year and likely made Goodell the best paid commissioner in U.S. sports.

According to the league's most recent tax return, much of Goodell's pay comes in the form of a $22.3 million bonus. His base pay was $3.1 million. The NFL was scheduled to file the return Friday.

While the league declined comment on specifics, it must, by law, make the return available upon request.

In 2011, the NFL went through a long lockout prior to the season. Goodell helped work out the new 10-year labor deal that ended the labor strife. That was followed by lucrative new TV contracts with CBS, ESPN, FOX and NBC.

For the year beginning April 1, 2011, and ending March 31, 2012, Goodell was paid $29,490,000, which included $3,117,000 in base pay, $22,309,000 in bonus and incentive compensation, and most of the rest in "other reported compensation," the tax return said.

Goodell earned a total of $11.6 million in 2010.

"The NFL is the most successful and best-managed sports league in the world," said Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, who is chairman of the league's compensation committee, in a statement. "This is in no small part due to Roger's leadership and the value he brings to the table in every facet of the sport and business of the league. His compensation reflects that."

By comparison, Saints quarterback Drew Brees is the league's highest paid player with a five-year deal averaging $20 million.

Goodell's compensation was first reported by SportsBusiness Daily.

The next-highest paid NFL official in 2011 was general counsel Jeff Pash. He earned $8.829 million, including $5.93 million in bonus compensation. Pash was the chief labor negotiator during the collective bargaining agreement talks.

Former Commissioner Paul Tagliabue received $8.58 million, all but $1 million in retirement and deferred compensation.

It is believed Major-League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig and NBA Commissioner David Stern earn somewhere in the mid-$20 million range, but neither league's tax returns are public. Both leagues are set up as for-profits.

"Unlike most CEO's of major companies, who are compensated with stock options, the NFL does not provide that," said Marc Ganis, the president of SportsCorp, which does consulting work with the NFL. "So a performance-based bonus is another way of compensation."
