Facebook app for iPhone to get speed boost

1 hr.

Suzanne Choney

Facebook's iPhone app will be getting?a much-needed improvement in speed, something users have been complaining about for awhile.?

The social network is a rich?experience on the iPhone, but that richness has a lot of complexity behind it, and that has been contributing to making the app more tortoise-like.

Two Facebook engineers, speaking anonymously to the New York Times, said that the Facebook has rebuilt the app to optimize it for speed.

We asked Facebook about the change.?"We don't comment on rumor and speculation," a spokesperson told msnbc.com.

The engineers said the new app, due sometime this summer, is being mainly?built using Objective-C, the?programming language used to build apps for Apple's iOS. They told the Times that many of the components of the existing version of the Facebook app use Web-based?HTML5.

"The current version of the app is essentially an Objective-C shell with a Web browser inside.?When it comes to speed, this is like putting the engine of a Smart Car in the body of a Ferrari," said the Times.

For blacks and Latinos, few Calif. high schools offer path to college

Brian Gurrola/Flickr

California high schools that serve largely Latino or African American students are failing them as pathways to college, according to a new report by a statewide education policy, research and advocacy organization.

Just 10 percent of high schools that serve primarily Latino students have above-average graduation and college-going rates for Latinos. The same is true for African Americans at 24 percent of high schools serving the largest proportions of African American students, the Education Trust?West found. Many students in both populations are low-income.

The college-going rate among Latino and African American students who graduated high school in 2010 lagged behind that of white and Asian students by 20 and more than 30 percentage points, respectively. The estimate, released last week, found 45 percent of Latinos and 46 percent of African Americans in the class of 2010 enrolled in college.

Researchers analyzed high school graduation rates for students who earned diplomas in 2010 and estimated their college-going rates using data from 2009, the first year such information was available. Their findings, they said, were disturbing.

"Far too few schools with large populations of African American, Latino and low-income students are serving as pipelines to post-secondary education," the report said. Post-secondary education includes both community colleges and four-year universities.

Among high schools with the highest proportions of African American students, 52 percent were considered either "broken pipelines," schools where African Americans graduate and go on to college at lower rates than statewide averages, or "not college bound," schools where African Americans had higher-than-average graduation rates but lower college-going rates.

Nine out of 10 Latino-dominant high schools were either broken pipelines or not college bound, researchers found.

Still, Orville Jackson, senior research analyst at the Education Trust?West, said he was pleased to find a number of schools serving as college pipelines.

There were "not as many as we'd like, but at least (there were) some schools where we could highlight where it's possible," he said. "They're kind of showing that it can be done ? that you can both graduate above average and send those kids on to college."

Imperial High School is among those identified as a college pipeline. The school, located less than 20 miles north of the Mexican border in Imperial County, has about 1,000 students, three-fourths of whom are Latino.

Ninety-two percent of Imperial High's Latino students graduated in 2010, according to the report. Among graduates, an estimated 78 percent went on to college.

Imperial High partners with its district's middle school, the local community college and San Diego State University to instill a "college-going culture," said Roger Ruvalcaba, the school's principal.

Although its graduation requirements do not mirror entrance requirements for the University of California and California State University systems ? something the Education Trust?West recommends for all high schools ? the school's counselors discuss both graduation and state university admissions requirements starting in eighth grade, Ruvalcaba said.

The school has also made efforts to make college preparation the default. In previous years, the school offered seniors an after-school opportunity to take a reading, writing and math exam?for placement at community colleges; about 75 to 80 students typically participated, Ruvalcaba said. This year, however, Imperial High integrated the test into the school day and had all its seniors participate.?

As a result, all seniors had test scores they could use at nearby Imperial Valley College ? where most of the school's graduates matriculate ? or other community colleges. Even for students who plan to attend four-year universities, Ruvalcaba said, the test shows them where they could place at a post-secondary level.

"You always have kids who say they're going to go away (to college) and then something happens," he said. "It's just another thing that helps them."

Orville would like to see more schools like Imperial High.

"If we increase the rigor and requirements at our high schools, that's going to be good for everyone," he said. "We need to have high expectations for all students."

Rupert Murdoch Lost Money On The Wall Street Journal - Business ...

Way back in 2007, Rupert Murdoch shocked the media world by making a hyper-aggressive play for the Wall Street Journal--and getting it.

At the time, the stock of Dow Jones, which owned the Journal, was trading in the $30s. Senior execs at the company had a goal of getting the stock to $45. No one thought it was worth more than $50.

Murdoch offered $60.

And the Bancroft family, who controlled Dow Jones and who, for years, had floated on the pride and cash it delivered, initially scoffed--and then took the money.

And, in so doing, they did what other newspaper-owning family dynasties like the Sulzbergers did not: They cashed out at the top.

So Murdoch got his prize. For $5 billion.

Five years later, Murdoch's News Corp. is now planning to split News Corp. into two parts: The "good businesses" part, which will contain News Corp's TV assets, and the "crappy businesses" part, which will contain the newspapers and book-publishing assets.

The latter company will hold the Wall Street Journal. But it will also hold all of the other newspapers that Rupert Murdoch owns, along with Harper-Collins and other assets.

And how much will it be worth?

According to Goldman Sachs, about $5 billion.

The entity, Goldman says, will generate about $1 billion of EBITDA (a measure of cash flow). The New York Times trades at about 5X EBITDA, Goldman says, so that's about where News Corp.'s newspapers will trade.

In other words, all of News Corp's newspapers, along with its book publishing house, will be worth the same amount that Murdoch paid for the Wall Street Journal five years ago.

Thank God for News Corp's other assets, namely FOX.

New Zealanders 50 years and older plagued with worry about ...

By Amanda Morrall

Ageing New Zealanders, even those who plan to be debt free by 65, say they are worried about having insufficient income in retirement despite the comfort of a government pension and private savings.

That was the finding of a survey of 600 Kiwis aged 50 or older conducted by the community website GrownUps.

While 90% of survey respondents say they were working to become debt free by retirement, almost a quarter admitted they wouldn't meet their target. Of those that would be free, most said they would struggle to meet their living costs.

Grown-ups co-founder Richard Poole said the survey results drove home some harsh economic realities as well as the need for retirees to be "extra cautious" with money through their retirement.

Poole said retirees today and those 10-15 years off of leaving paid employment would be forced to become more creative about funding their retirement, either adjusting their lifestyles and curtailing spending or downsizing their primary residence to generate more capital.

Of those surveyed, more than 75% did not believe pension entitlements through the New Zealand Superannuation would cover their basic living costs. And 40% did not believe they had enough to last in retirement. This despite that the fact that the majority had begun saving for retirement at age 40 to 45. (To look up the current rates for NZS click here).

Poole said the savings picture that emerged from the survey did not bode well for future generations who are now expected to start saving for retirement during their 20s or as soon as they took up full time employment.

"This is a real challenge for future generations as there are the costs associated with buying first homes, growing families and life experience to contend with ? no one is thinking about retirement at 25,? said Poole.?

Roughly a third of respondents reported having suffered financial setbacks after investing in finance companies.

KiwiSaver was tagged as one of the main sources of retirement income for 41% of the respondents.?Ninety percent opted into KiwiSaver out of choice, and more than 50% of people contribute 4% of their annual income towards their KiwiSaver fund. A further 44% of contributors plan to make voluntary contributions to their KiwiSaver funds.

Additional findings.

??45% of respondents are enrolled in KiwiSaver

??46% of people plan to take their money out of KiwiSaver as soon as they turn 65

??63% of people regularly check the balance of their KiwiSaver account

??38% of respondents contribute 2% of their income to KiwiSaver fund annually

??52% of respondents contribute 52% of their income to KiwiSaver fund annually

??10% of respondents contribute 8% of their income to their KiwiSaver fund annually

??66% of respondents own their home freehold

??40% of respondents believe they will need up to $400,000 to last them for their retirement.

??31% of respondents predict they will need up to $700,000 to last them for their retirement.

Geoengineering efforts to mix oxygen into the Deep Baltic should be abandoned

Over the last decade, an average of 60,000 km2 of the Baltic Sea bottom has suffered from hypoxia without enough oxygen to support its normal ecosystem. Several large-scale geo-engineering interventions are currently on the table as proposed solutions to this problem. Researchers from Lund University are calling for geo-engineering efforts that mix oxygen into the Deep Baltic to be abandoned.

In the June 28 edition of Nature, researchers warn of the unforeseen effects of geo-engineering to relieve the lack of oxygen in bottom waters. "Such radical remediation measures promise impressive improvements in water quality on short time scales. They are popular and politically attractive, but they are also potentially dangerous," says Daniel Conley a researcher at Lund University.

Yet geo-engineering schemes are moving forwards. The Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management has announced a plan to build a demonstration wind-turbine-driven pump in the southern Baltic. This is a significant change in current policy to reduce nutrients to the Baltic Sea.

"We are on the pathway to a healthier marine ecosystem. We have scientific knowledge, an active monitoring and assessment program, political organizations in place such as HELCOM, and the countries have agreed upon targets to reduce nutrients in the Baltic Sea Action Plan. We need to let that process work," says Daniel Conley.

"Countries from around the Baltic Sea must immediately implement the national reductions for nutrients that have been agreed upon in the Baltic Sea Action Plan. If actions are postponed further, the situation in the Baltic Sea will continue to worsen," he added.

Best Practices in Business Management ? Suggestions You Can ...

June 27th, 2012 // 3:40 pm @ paulyu

For people who have been working in the offline world for a long time, finding success in business management is often something that feels more conceptual than step-by-step. This is mostly true because you?ve encountered even more managers who have failed to do a good job at learning their lessons. We also tend to expect that business managers are going to have to have a larger sense of responsibility with regards to themselves. It shouldn?t be all that hard to put the things we know to be useful and successful to use in the workforce. You can build yourself up to be a management rockstar when you approach your job with as much common sense as possible. There shouldn?t be any doubt in your employees? minds about what is expected of them. You don?t just need to have clearly cut guidelines and standards, you also need to make sure people know what those are. If you are failing to do this, you just invite more problems later?you can?t expect people to read your mind. If this isn?t already done, take care of it immediately. It?s common for the human resources department to be in charge of these kinds of things. But you can provide your input to the process so your voice is heard. Some people are simply natural leaders but most aren?t. Almost everyone has the ability to go to college and study business management. Of course, taking classes does not guarantee talent for management. This involves thought and work to get good as well as simple study. It may be a challenge at the beginning, but try to focus on the positive things when you are critiquing yourself. You have to be a manager which means you need to delegate tasks and trust them with it. Your department is actually going to enjoy this from you and you will be simultaneously helping them and yourself. In order to keep climbing the ladder of success and to be a better manager you need to take some important steps. Don?t make the mistake of thinking that you have finished learning. There is a major learning curve to overcome and there is always room for improvement. For example, look at communications. It isn?t just possible it is important to learn how to be an effective communicator. You can track down new principles in management and you can refine the ideas and knowledge you already have. There are all sorts of benefits to this and the people who work above you will take notice as well. There is a solution to every problem that exists within the world of successful business management. It is not uncommon for a manager to have to deal with an out of the ordinary scenario in a tiny time frame. This is why you need to be able to adapt quickly and be flexible in the way you think about things. All the while, work on better displaying your presence as well as your managerial style. It matters that there is a feeling of consistency in your daily managing affairs. It is tough when you are a newbie, and trying to get a handle on DEFL 2.0 can be daunting. You can get a lot cleared-up simply by visiting www.planetmud.com where everything is laid out for you. It is important because that is main cause for so much grief about that; incomplete knowledge. Unfortunately this seems to be normal operations for those who are either new or who do not perform adequate research. But enough talk and let?s get going, and what you need to do is see more at DeWalt DWS535.

Spice Girls 'Viva Forever!' Musical: Five Must-Hear Tracks

MTV News picks the pop ballads we most want to hear when the Spice Girls musical hits the stage.
By Jocelyn Vena

Spice Girls
Photo:

The Spice Girls — all five of them — appeared in London on Tuesday to announce "Viva Forever!," a musical based on their career and music, named after their 1997 single.

The girls gathered on the stairs of the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel, 16 years after they shot their star-making "Wannabe" video there. With "Mamma Mia!" producer Judy Craymer and "Absolutely Fabulous" star Jennifer Saunders collaborating on the project, this jukebox musical, according to the ladies, will "embrace all generations."

This is hardly the first time that the ladies have used their rise to fame as the basis for a piece of semi-fiction. They spoofed their pop superstardom in the 1997 comedy "Spice World." And, while it was a landmark event to see all five of the Spice Girls in one place on Tuesday, they also reunited for a massive world tour in 2007.

In an interview with the BBC at the event, the Spice Girls themselves seemed excited to have their music, which focused quite frequently on themes of female empowerment, hitting the stage for a new crop of young people to hear. Posh Spice herself, Victoria Beckham, added, "We're going to be introducing a whole new generation to Girl Power."

Check out some awesome photos of the Spice Girls in the '90s!

So, when it comes to a musical based on the music of the peace sign-making, platform shoe-wearing, brassy fivesome, there's an endless number of tracks that can be plucked from their catalog to include in the show. So, MTV News is pitching our five favorite (and in our opinion definitive) tracks that we hope make the final cut of the show.

"Wannabe"
This is the track that introduced the world to the Spice Girls. Off their 1996 debut, Spice, the cheeky song reminded any potential love interests that "If you wannabe my lover, you got to get with my friends." Not only did it launch the ladies to pop fame, it also made the term "zigazig-ha" a perplexing, must sing-along-to lyric.

"Say You'll Be There"
Also off Spice, this track, which spawned our favorite SG video of all time thanks to its overt references to "Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!," picked up where "Wannabe" left off, reminding girls everywhere that just because a guy really likes you doesn't mean you have to commit to him. Girl power, indeed.

"Spice Up Your Life"
One year after dropping their debut, the ladies were still riding high off instant mega-fame and released 1997's Spice World. "Spice Up Your Life" was all about throwing caution to the wind no matter your race or gender, with the ladies proudly proclaiming, "Colors of the world/ Spice up your life/ Every boy and every girl/ Spice up your life." With congos and Latin music influencing the sound of the track (and everything that year), "Spice" was an anthem that proved their music can just make you dance, or merengue.

"Stop"
"Stop right now/Thank you very much/I need somebody with a human touch." While we're still not exactly sure what that means — unless, of course the ladies had been romanced by robots 8212; we get where the girls are coming from on this 1998 single about guys who just can't quit playing games with their hearts.

"Too Much"
The girl group slowed it down in '98 for this awesome ballad where the five ladies have some choice words for any guy who thinks it's going to be easy to woo the Spice Girls. Reminder, they want a man, not a boy who thinks he can. Um, tell us about it, girls. Which is your favorite Spice Girls song? Tell us in the comments below!

Is Amazon Really Hiding Highly Discounted Products From You?

Certainly Amazon does contain many products that are highly discounted ? sometimes as much as 99%, with many products discounted between 80% ? 99%? But are these items presented to you when you search the Amazon websites, or are they hidden away from view?

Amazon itself denies this accusation saying that all products they stock, not matter what discount they may carry or profit margin they may yield, can be seen on the Amazon websites.

Amazon Bargain Hunting!

Independent experiments have been undertaken to see if there is any truth to the ?Amazon hidden bargain? theory. I carried out such an experiment myself recently searching Amazon.com for a variety of highly discounted products that I knew were lurking somewhere within the website, and the results were interesting.

Without going into details in this article, the general conclusion I reached was that many of the products I was searching for did not show in the first 15 pages of Amazon?s search results.

Of course the search results you get at Amazon is very much dependent on the search term you use, and which department of Amazon you restrict your search to (if any): the more specific the search term, the more likely the product you are searching for will be seen in the search results.

Of course, many people searching Amazon will be using generic search terms such as ?men?s watch? rather than say ?Invicta Men?s 1461 Vintage Collection Riveted Leather Strap Brown Dial Watch?. If you use the first generic search term ?men?s watch? you are unlikely to be presented with the highly discounted product the second search term actually is! But when you do such a search you don?t know that the ?Invicta Men?s 1461 Vintage Collection Riveted Leather Strap Brown Dial Watch? is discounted 93% off normal list price so you are not likely to use such a specific search term!

Conclusion

Amazon may not be ?hiding? the real bargains it contains on purpose, but from my experience because of the way Amazon works it can take a long time and some luck and juggling of search terms and departments to find them!

For this reason, if you really want to find the bargains on Amazon it is a good idea to use one of the ?Amazon Discount Finder? websites that exist out there now that can pre-filter the products for you. This is a strategy that saves time as well as money. Search on ?amazon discount finder? or similar term to locate these websites.

It is definitely a better way to proceed when looking for reasonable products that you need for presents for Christmas, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings and similar occasions where you need a quality item but want it at a great price.

Discover the ?hidden? bargains and massively discounted products available now on Amazon.com at author Lee Gillett?s website ?The Amazing Bargain Store? at http://www.AmazingBargainStore.com

Mobile Messenger eBuddy Appoints New COO As It Aims To Cash In On Growth

In a bid to capitalise on what it says is a period of "accelerated growth", eBuddy, the Dutch web and mobile messaging company, has appointed Sytse Zuidema as its new Chief Operations Officer, where he'll be charged with leading the management team and overseeing day-to-day operations, such as sales, marketing, and product development. Zuidema has plenty of experience, having served as Chief Commercial Officer for Dutch cable operator, Casema, where he's said to have played a "significant role" at the company during a 2006 merger that lead to the $2.6 billion sale. And it's this experience that eBuddy aims to tap into, perhaps as it gears up for an exit of its own.

Maroon 5's 'One More Night' Video: Adam Levine Loses Everything

Pop star plays a boxer whose relationship is in ruins because of his profession in the new clip.
By John Mitchell

Adam Levine in Maroon 5's "One More Night" music video

In Maroon 5's video for their latest single, "One More Night," frontman Adam Levine plays a boxer dealing with personal turmoil as he prepares for a big fight.

"One More Night" opens with two goldfish swimming around in a bowl before segueing into a sequence where the seemingly idyllic home life Levine enjoys with video girlfriend Minka Kelly and their baby daughter is set against scenes of his hands being wrapped and of him training in a boxing ring.

At home, he eats a protein-heavy meal and revels in his baby girl's laughter as he holds her high in the air. But all is not well, as frequent cuts to Kelly's concerned frown let on.

The writing is on the wall when he has to leave for a big fight. As he steps into the ring to cheers, she packs her bags. He wins the fight, but when he returns home battered from the battle, he finds he's lost everything that really mattered. Kelly and their child are gone and all that's left are the relics of his profession — trophies, a jump rope, a few pictures and a lone goldfish.

Levine hustles in the ring and trains hard for the big show, but it ultimately comes at the expense of everything he holds dear. Taken further, the clip could be looked at as a metaphor for the difficulties Levine faces balancing his professional life as a world-famous singer and TV star and a personal life with the same wants (happy relationship, a family) as everyone else.

Perhaps the video is a lingering response to his recent breakup from model Anne Vyalitsyna, which came less than a month before the band debuted the smash single, "Payphone" featuring Wiz Khalifa. The song continues to enjoy huge success on the charts; it is #3 on this week's Billboard Hot 100, having peaked at #2 a few weeks back.

Maroon 5 and Levine have been riding a professional high for some time (they spent weeks at #1 late last summer with the Grammy-nominated "Moves Like Jagger" and Levine has found major success on "The Voice"), but is it worth it when it comes at the expense of private happiness? That's the question the "One More Night" seems to be asking.

With the pop star left sitting alone on a couch in a sad, empty house at the video's end, Levine's answer to that question is pretty clear.

What did you think of Maroon 5's "One More Night" video? Let us know in the comments!

ST. GEORGE ISLAND, Fla. (AP) ? Parts of the main interstate highway across northern Florida were closed by flooding Tuesday as Tropical Storm Debby hung stubbornly offshore over the Gulf of Mexico, threatening up to two feet of rain in places.

After raking Florida's Gulf coast with high winds and heavy rain, Debby promised to bring more of the same in the coming days as it drifted on a path forecast to take it over the state and east into the Atlantic by Friday.

The National Hurricane Center said Debby was about 85 miles west of Cedar Key, Fla., and moving eastward near 3 mph. It had maximum sustained winds near 45 mph, barely tropical-storm status.

But the wind, high surf and relentless rain have made the storm's presence felt.

The Florida Highway Patrol closed portions of Interstate 10 in north Florida early Tuesday due to flooding caused by rain. Troopers reported several areas of flooding on a roughly 50-mile stretch of the east-west interstate east of where it crosses I-75 and the agency warned motorists to use extreme caution on other parts of the highway.

South of that stretch of I-10, four puppies and a young dog drowned when a swollen creek flooded an animal shelter in the city of Starke. The Florida Times-Union reported that officials placed sandbags and dug trenches outside to protect the shelter, but the water rose quickly Sunday night.

Farther south, in the Tampa Bay area, roads such as Tampa's Bayshore Boulevard were washed out. Residents tried to salvage belongings from flooded homes in low-lying areas. At one point Monday, high winds and flooding concerns prompted authorities to close two major routes over Tampa Bay into St. Petersburg.

A mother manatee was found dead in the water Tuesday off Bayshore Boulevard. Her two calves, which were still alive, washed ashore along the flooded road which runs along Tampa Bay. Members of the Tampa Police Marine Patrol called Lowry Park Zoo and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to help with the rescue of the baby manatees.

Forecasters were expecting the rains to continue, bringing another 4 to 8 inches across northern Florida. The storm could also bring up to 10 inches of rain to the Brunswick area in southeastern Georgia, forecasters said.

Torrential rains and flooding would continue across parts of the Florida Panhandle and northern Florida for several days, even though the storm wasn't expected to gain strength.

"The widespread flooding is the biggest concern," said Florida Emergency Operations Center spokeswoman Julie Roberts. "It's a concern that Debby is going to be around for the next couple of days, and while it sits there, it's going to continue to drop rain. The longer it sits, the more rain we get."

At least one person was killed Sunday by a tornado spun off by the large storm system.

WFLA-TV reported that a young mother, Heather Town, died Sunday when her Highlands County home was lifted off its foundation and she and her baby girl were thrown into nearby woods. The mother was found clutching the child, who survived.

Alabama authorities searched for a man who disappeared in the rough surf.

The bridge leading to St. George Island, a vacation spot along the Panhandle, was closed to everyone except residents, renters and business owners to keep looters out. The island had no power, and palm trees had been blown down, but roads were passable.

"Most true islanders are hanging in there because they know that you may or may not be able to get back to your home when you need to," said David Walker, an island resident having a beer at Eddy Teach's bar. He said he had been through many storms on the island and Debby was on the weaker end of the scale.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared a statewide emergency, allowing authorities to put laws against price-gouging into effect and override bureaucratic hurdles to deal with the storm.

A tropical storm warning remained in effect Tuesday morning for about 450 miles of coastline, from Mexico Beach in the Panhandle to Englewood, south of Sarasota.

Forecasters cautioned that Debby is a large tropical cyclone spreading strong winds and heavy rains at great distances from its center.

They said it would crawl generally east, come ashore along Florida's northwestern coast Wednesday night and track slowly across the state, exiting along the Atlantic Coast by Friday and losing steam as it crosses land.

"We're not expecting the storm to intensify," said Ernie Jillson, a forecaster with the National Weather Service in Tampa, early Tuesday. "We're expecting it to stay a fairly weak tropical storm."

People in several sparsely populated counties near the crook of Florida's elbow were urged to leave low-lying neighborhoods because of the danger of flooding. Shelters opened in some places.

By Staff|6/25/2012 2:08 PM

Following the announcement that the Supreme Court will not hand down their opinion on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) until Thursday,?Jenny Beth Martin, the co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, told TRNS that she believes the ACA?s mandate for individuals to purchase insurance will result in the government having power to invade an individual?s rights well beyond the scope of health insurance in the future.

?If the government comes in and starts mandating what we must do and how we must act simply because we live and breathe, for no other reason, just because we live, then they can tell us what we can do with anything,? Martin said during a demonstration across from the Supreme Court. She explained that the implications of a government mandate means, ?they can tell us who we can live with, they can tell us how we live our lives, they can tell us how we live or die.?

Garmin Swim watch tracks your water workouts, we hit the pool (hands-on)

Garmin is adding a new product to its line-up of fitness watches, and this one is dedicated to workouts of the aquatic variety. The $150 Garmin Swim tracks your distance swum, average pace, workout time and more, and it uploads those stats to the web to help monitor your progress. Though it's meant to be a part of your exercise routine, the Garmin Swim watch looks like your average plastic digi-timepiece. The watch has six buttons with functions for viewing the time of day, scrolling through the menu options, controlling the timer, viewing the menu and entering workout mode. The setup takes some getting used to, but the illustrative icons on the watch helped us get into the rhythm quickly.

Getting started with the Swim simply entails entering the size of your pool, with options to measure in yards or meters. Once that info is uploaded, you press the swim button and are ready to get splashing. We spent a solid half-hour doing laps, and the Swim duly recognized and recorded that we varied our strokes. Stopping the timer each time we took a break created a new interval for our workout, with a rundown of the elapsed time, distance in meters, number of strokes, type of stroke, total laps, average speed and calories burned. That's a lot of data to pore over, and Garmin lets you wirelessly upload it all to the Garmin Connect site. To do this, you have to pair the watch with your computer using a USB ANT stick: once it works, it's an efficient, easy way to review your workout, but it took us a few tries before our laptop recognized the watch. Garmin says the watch's battery will last a full year, which is plenty of time to log some serious laps. For more about the Swim, check out the press info past the break.
