South Korean phone company bets on K-pop

(AP) ? South Korea's largest telephone company is trying to capitalize on the worldwide popularity of Korean pop music, or K-pop, to increase online revenue from overseas as it seeks more control over the content on its network.

KT Corp. said Thursday it plans to launch a mobile version of its online music streaming service abroad this year and promote its video joint venture as a platform for broadcasting live concerts of K-pop stars.

The move by KT to use its iTunes-inspired music service and online broadcasting firm to attract overseas audiences is part of a broader shift in its business. South Korea phone companies have been hit by falling revenue from traditional voice calling while the popularity of downloaded applications for smartphones has dramatically increased the amount of data on their networks without increasing revenue.

KT Chairman Lee Suk-chae said Thursday that telephone companies "will not just be a provider of dumb pipes."

"KT can make profit from apps, content, games and other virtual goods that are circulated and consumed through online networks," Lee said.

The Seoul-based operator is in talks with mobile operators in Japan and China to launch its music streaming service, which it dubbed a "Korean version of iTunes" when introduced to South Korean users last week. In 2011, it invested $3 million for a 51 percent stake in Ustream Korea, the Korean unit of San Franciso-based Ustream Inc., which allows users to live broadcast and watch videos through mobile devices.

The services could serve as a springboard for KT's thus far unremarkable presence in overseas markets. Last year, KT's overseas revenue of 1 trillion won ($877 million) was less than 5 percent of its total revenue.

Global K-pop fans from Europe to South America have flocked to online services such as YouTube that have helped accelerate the spread of music videos across national boundaries. KT hopes that its latest services will join the growing list of online destinations for Korean music audiences and bring cash along the way.

KT's bid to gain more control over what content can circulate on its networks resulted in a spat with Samsung Electronics Co., the world's largest maker of web-connected TVs. KT suspended fixed-line Internet service to Samsung smart TV buyers for a few days in February, saying that heavy data traffic from smart TVs burdened its network.

South Korea's saturated mobile market in which the mobile penetration rate tops 100 percent has also prompted carriers to eye overseas markets. KT's rival, SK Telecom Co., acquired the world's second-largest memory chipmaker, Hynix Semiconductor Inc., to increase global revenue.

LG Viper 4G may hit Sprint stores on April 22nd

Image
Pre-orders of Sprint's first LTE-capable device, the LG Viper 4G, begin tomorrow. The Now Network is keeping quiet on an official release date for the time being, but that isn't stopping the carrier from sharing a few crucial nuggets of information with its employees first. We got our hands on a screenshot apparently informing Sprint's forces that the device will be all yours for the buying on April 22nd, through your choice of retail sales channels and online stores. No new details are revealed otherwise, and we still don't know exactly when the LTE service itself will go live, but we're definitely seeing a light at the end of this tunnel.

[Thanks, anonymous]

Darvish wins ML debut in Rangers' 11-5 win over Ms

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) ? Yu Darvish had a feeling of calmness when he took the mound for his much-anticipated major league debut for the Texas Rangers.

Once he settled down his big right arm to match how his mind felt, and got past a rough start with some help from his powerful offense, Darvish was a winner for the two-time defending American League champions in an 11-5 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Monday night.

"Mentally, I was very calm, but my body felt like it wanted to go and go and go," Darvish said through his translator. "At the beginning of the game, my mind and my body kind of weren't on the same page."

After giving up four runs while throwing 42 pitches in the first inning, then allowing another run in the second, Darvish (1-0) later retired 10 in a row while pitching into the sixth.

"It was pretty much a battle all night," Darvish said. "Just knowing my offense, if I could string those zeroes together, they would answer for me."

Nelson Cruz hit a three-run homer in the third for Texas to tie the game at 5, then Mitch Moreland and Josh Hamilton both went deep in the fourth to give Darvish an 8-5 lead.

Ian Kinsler added a three-run blast in the eighth, his second of the season, then said after the game that he has agreed to a new $75 million, five-year contract. That deal is pending a physical and would start next season, replacing a $10 million option the team had for 2013.

Darvish was Japan's top pitcher before the Rangers committed more than $107 million to acquire him, his guaranteed $56 million, six-year contract and a more than $51 million posting fee to his former team. Despite the early struggles in his first start, the 25-year-old right-hander is undefeated in Texas.

"Going through warmups and everything, he felt fine," said catcher Mike Napoli, sporting a "Yu is my Homeboy" T-shirt after the game. "He got out there and was over-amped. I don't think he was scared, he was excited to be out there."

Darvish walked leadoff hitter Chone Figgins on four pitches to start the game before striking out Dustin Ackley.

Ichiro Suzuki then blooped a single just over third base, and Justin Smoak lined a single to right before Kyle Seager's two-run single. Another walk and an RBI single by Miguel Olivo reloaded the bases before Munenori Kawasaki, an eight-time All-Star in Japan who was the only Mariner to previously face Darvish, walked on four pitches and put Seattle up 4-0.

There was also a wild pitch thrown so hard that it ricocheted off the brick backstop right back to Napoli.

"In the first inning, it just seemed like he couldn't get control of his emotions. He checked himself, and showed what kind of battler and warrior he is," manager Ron Washington said. "He got us into the sixth inning, almost finished the sixth."

After No. 9 batter Brendan Ryan was hit by a pitch with one out in the third, Darvish retired the next 10 batters before Ackley walked and Suzuki singled with two outs in the sixth.

When manager Ron Washington replaced him with Alexi Ogando ? who struck out Smoak to end that inning ? Darvish got a loud ovation from the crowd that was also chanting "Yuuuuuuu!" as he walked to the dugout without acknowledging the cheers.

"My impression was good, not his pitching but just in general after he was taken out of the game," Suzuki said through a translator. "You saw the crowd did a standing ovation and he didn't tip his cap, he wasn't very happy or satisfied with his pitching, and that shows pride. That's a good mentality, that's what I liked about him."

Darvish called it moving to get that kind of reaction after his tough performance, and said he wasn't aware it was customary to tip his cap to the crowd.

"I guess we'll tell him," Napoli said with a smile.

Darvish struck out five and walked four while throwing 59 of his 110 pitches for strikes. He gave up eight hits.

Seattle starter Hector Noesi (0-1) only made it into the fourth. The right-hander was gone after Napoli drew a leadoff walk and Moreland followed by pulling a 382-foot homer down the right-field line for a 7-5 lead.

Noesi struck out three and walked three and gave up six hits in his three-plus innings.

Michael Young and Cruz had consecutive two-out RBI singles in the first off Noesi, but Seattle got another run in the second when Suzuki doubled and scored on a double by Seager.

Darvish, 93-38 with a 1.99 ERA in 167 games in Japan's Pacific League the past seven seasons, got out of the second when Michael Saunders took a called third strike. Darvish then got on a roll in the third before the Rangers' big bats put him in the lead.

Cruz, the ALCS MVP last October, got his first homer of the season when he pulled a liner into the left-field seats right after Hamilton was called out at home trying to score on Young's grounder.

Hamilton argued briefly with home plate umpire Paul Nauert, and replays showed that the slugger might have slid around catcher Olivo's tag.

There was no doubt about Hamilton scoring in the fourth, his second homer of the season a solo shot over the center-field wall off rookie right-hander Erasmo Ramirez.

That was the only run allowed in three innings by Ramirez in his major league debut.

Notes: Ogando, a 13-game winner and All-Star as a starter last season, went 1 1-3 innings. He has appeared in three of four games, with 3 1-3 scoreless innings. ... Neftali Feliz, the Rangers' closer-turned-starter, makes his first start Tuesday night against Seattle. He faces right-hander Blake Beaven, the former top prospect for the Rangers who was traded to Seattle two seasons ago in the Cliff Lee deal.

North Korea: Our rocket is ready to launch

Thousands expressed their devotion to Kim Jong Il in one of Pyongyang's main squares as a giant mural of the departed North Korean leader was unveiled. NBC's Richard Engel reports.

By Ed Flanagan, NBC News in Pyongyang, and msnbc.com news services

Space officials in North Korea told NBC Tuesday that all assembly and preparations for its new satellite and rocket have been completed, saying it will be launched sometime between Thursday and Monday.


Speaking at a press conference in the capital, Pyongyang, the experts refused to answer the question about whether the rocket has been fueled yet, but they said assembly and other preparations are done.

Inside North Korea: Closely watched launch poses risks

They also repeated their insistence that that satellite is not a cover for a missile test, adding that "the right to have a satellite is a universal right of every nation."

Regarding U.S. concerns, the official said, "These are things that shouldn't be worried about."

NBC space expert on North Korea satellite launch: 'It's not a military missile ... but it's darn close'

The launch of the Unha-3 rocket, which North Korea says will merely put a weather satellite into space, breaches U.N. sanctions imposed to prevent Pyongyang from developing a missile that could carry a nuclear warhead.

Russia, a former backer of North Korea which has boosted economic ties with Pyongyang, has denounced the program.

The space experts said there is a five-year North Korean space program to develop larger rockets, improve satellite control centers and organize better cameras to observe Earth.

In response to a question about the cost of the satellite, a North Korean Space Tech Committee representative said, "An appropriate amount has been invested."

China on Tuesday reiterated its calls for calm and restraint on the Korean peninsula.

All sides should respect international law to prevent the worsening of tensions on the peninsula, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin told a daily news briefing.

A rare peek inside North Korea

Another nuclear test would almost certainly alarm neighbors and infuriate the West, which has long sought to curb the North's nuclear ambitions.

Meanwhile a U.S.-based rights organization Tuesday published a report saying at least 150,000 North Koreans are languishing in gulags.

The U.S. Committee for Human Rights in North Korea said its report was based on extensive interviews with over 60 defectors and more than 40 satellite photos of North Korean political prisoner camps.

Reuters contributed to this report.

A Very Powerful Weapon In Business Is Self Improvement ...

If you analyze it, you will see that using self improvement to create a more successful business is a smart decision. While reading about the different successful entrepreneurs and business executives in the corporate world, you'll notice a definite trend. They consistently work to improve their mental, psychological and emotional performance.

It is not by accident, but by design that they have become high performers. We encourage you to do the same. Keep in mind this is just a process and an involved one at that. You may find that this turns into a life long discovery for yourself.

There exists a core set of success principles that are part of a special mindset. One such success mindset quality is developing the drive and motivation to overcome obstacles. It is important to note that accomplishing anything in life is usually the sum total of what obstructions we are able to overcome. It is important to never stop trying to reach your goals and fail because you simply stopped believing. Getting from point A to point B. is nothing more than seeing an obstacle and figuring out a way to get through it. Writing out your plan of action, and executing it, is how you will reach your dreams. Each objective that you have must have a separate strategy that must be executed one day at a time.

If you get issues in your work what do you do about it? In your home life what do you do about problems? The same as with rejection and getting over obstacles, you need to be able to cope with all setbacks you may meet. We all have various reactions when they occur. Some people anguish for days but others will just ignore it. To make these easy to deal with, just look at them how they are. They are not personal, so there is no reason to take it personally. Plus, realize that the more you become emotionally invested in an outcome, the more you are setting your self up for an emotional reaction if it does not go as planned.

At one time or another as your proceed in your new IM business career, you will make bad decisions, mistakes, gaffs and blunders. Trust us when we say you are not alone and never will be.

When you face those unfortunate times, don't be harsh on yourself. Honestly, we have seen business people come down really hard on themselves at times. Just realize that is really counter-productive, and we do feel that is a carry-over from an earlier time. Maybe that person grew up with a parent who berated them. Give yourself some understanding and compassion during these times. There were some debates on our end about what all to include about ipad 3 covers.

We are in the process of writing much more about this topic, and they may be done by the time you read this.

We recommend that you perform research at applicable authority sites that are known for being reputable and credible.

Any time you can build on existing knowledge you possess, then you have done a smart and good thing for your self.

The only way you will be in a the best position to decide what course to follow is through timely information.

Self improvement has so many avenues of approach that it is understandable that a person has only so much they can do at any given time. If you see an issue that can be beneficial if you work on it, then by all means, explore it and see what happens.

You will find, like we all have, that acquiring new knowledge involves dedication and responsibilities, and that applies to new ipad covers, as well.

Everybody likes to talk about info overload, and that is really a serious issue in this regard.

There is nothing unusual at all about conflicts between points of view and what people find in their own research.

But make no mistake when you are dealing with these exact issues, and the nature of them compel you to make sure everything is right and professional in any way.

Everyone wants to and needs to have solid information, and so then you just have to do what is necessary when you need to know the truth.

Bobby Petrino fired at Arkansas after 4 seasons

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) ? Arkansas fired coach Bobby Petrino on Tuesday, publicly dressing him down for unfairly hiring his mistress and intentionally misleading his boss about everything from their relationship to her presence at the motorcycle accident that ultimately cost him his job.

Athletic director Jeff Long announced his decision at an evening news conference and laid out a stunning laundry list of misdeeds against the man he hired away from the Atlanta Falcons four years ago.

The 51-year-old Petrino, a married father of four, had maintained an inappropriate relationship with 25-year-old Jessica Dorrell for a "significant" amount of time and at one point had given her $20,000, Long said. He would not disclose details of the payment, but said both parties confirmed the "gift."

Dorrell, a former Razorbacks volleyball player, worked for the Razorbacks Foundation before she was hired by Petrino on March 28. Long said she was one of three finalists out of 159 applicants and got the job after a time frame Long said was "shorter than our normal affirmative action hiring process."

Petrino never disclosed his conflict of interest in hiring Dorrell or the payment, Long said.

And he ignored multiple chances to simply come clean.

"He made the decision to mislead the public, (and it) adversely affected the university and the football program," Long said, choking up at one point as he discussed telling players that their coach was gone. There was a "pattern of misleading and manipulative behavior to deceive me."

It was an abrupt ending for Petrino, who had built Arkansas into a Southeastern Conference and national power over four seasons, including a 21-5 record the past two years. But Long made it clear that the success on the field was overshadowed by repeated deceptive acts and that no one was more important than the program itself.

Long said Petrino was fired "with cause" ? meaning he will not receive a multimillion-dollar buyout ? and there were no discussions about ways to keep Petrino at Arkansas. Long declined comment when asked about Dorrell's job status.

Petrino finishes his tenure at Arkansas with a 34-17 record in four seasons, leading the Razorbacks to a No. 5 final ranking last season and a Cotton Bowl win over Kansas State.

He did not immediately issue a statement.

The April 1 accident left him with four broken ribs, a cracked vertebra in his neck and numerous abrasions on his face. The avid motorcycle rider said the sun and wind caused him to lose control on the windy two-lane highway about 20 miles southeast of Fayetteville.

What he failed to mention, both at a news conference and to Long, was the presence of a Dorrell.

That revelation was made public when the state police released the accident report. Petrino informed Long of Dorrell's presence 20 minutes before the police released the report to the public, also admitting to what he called a previous inappropriate relationship with Dorrell.

Long placed Petrino on paid leave later that night, saying he was disappointed in Petrino and promising to review the coach's conduct. He said his review found that the relationship between the two had lasted a "significant" amount of time.

As the review continued, the state police released the audio of the 911 call reporting Petrino's accident. It revealed Petrino didn't want to call police following the crash, and a subsequent police report showed he asked police if he was required to give the name of the passenger during the accident.

Petrino was forthcoming about Dorrell's name and presence with police, but only after misleading both Long and the public during his news conference. That led to the school releasing a statement from Petrino's family the day after the accident that said "no other individuals" were involved.

The proved not to be the case and the fracture in trust, along with questions about Dorrell's hiring by Petrino to be the school's student-athlete development coordinator, proved to be too much for Petrino to overcome in Long's eyes.

Petrino took the school to its first BCS bowl game following the 2010 season, losing in the Sugar Bowl to Ohio State, and improved his win total in every year. Arkansas was 5-7 his first season in 2008, 8-5 the second before finishing 10-3 and 11-2 during his last two seasons.

The coach's tenure with the Razorbacks began under a cloud of national second-guessing following his departure from Atlanta 13 games into the 2007 season. His tenure with the Falcons was the shortest for a non-interim coach since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger.

His departure was so sudden that Petrino left farewell notes in the lockers of the Atlanta players rather than telling them of his resignation in person. He was introduced later that night as the new coach of the Razorbacks, carrying with him a vagabond image after holding 15 jobs for 11 different programs/organizations in 24 seasons.
