NEW YORK (AP) ? After two initial replays, CBS stopped showing footage Sunday of Louisville basketball player Kevin Ware breaking his leg during the first half of his team's NCAA men's tournament game against Duke.
The injury during the nationally televised game, and the shocked reaction of Ware's fellow players, called to mind the gruesome broken leg suffered by Washington Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann in a Monday Night football game in 1985. During Sunday's game, Theismann tweeted his best wishes to Ware.
Ware had leaped to try and block a shot by Duke's Tyler Thornton. His leg landed awkwardly, buckled and flopped as he fell to the ground. The first hint that the injury was out of the ordinary came from Thornton, who put his hands to his face and had an anguished look as he ran back on defense.
CBS commentator Clark Kellogg described the injury was "gruesome."
"If you can bear to watch it, take a look but it's a gruesome-looking injury," Kellogg said.
CBS showed the replay twice in slow motion, although not with a close-up of Ware landing. The network also never showed a close-up of the injury.
CBS then concentrated on reaction shots. Three of Ware's teammates were on the ground near the basket. Wayne Blackshear cried, Chane Behanan knelt on his hands and knees and Peyton Silva sat, a hand covering his mouth.
The network aired a close-up of medical officials working on Ware, showing the player only from the face up.
CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus said that because of the graphic nature of the injury, the network decided not to show it after the original replays. People could quickly find replays on YouTube, anyway.
"We did not zoom in on the injury when he was taken off," McManus said. "We did not try to highlight it. I think we did the right thing."
At halftime, Greg Gumbel noted that CBS would not show the injury. Its highlight package again focused on the reactions, including Louisville coach Rick Pitino wiping away tears. Pitino answered questions from CBS during the game about Ware, noting the injured player was exhorting his teammates to win the regional final. A Louisville spokesman said Ware was "resting comfortably" at Indianapolis' Methodist Hospital.
As is often the case, the coverage quickly became a hot topic on Twitter. Sports writer Jason Whitlock tweeted that "CBS handled this curveball (Ware injury) masterfully."
The network's decision to stop showing the replay only goes so far. Right after the game ended, the CBS affiliate in Phoenix aired the footage of Ware being injured in a local sports report.
Coverage of the injury represented the second difficult call of the day for CBS. Earlier, the network cut away from the dramatic conclusion of the Sony Open men's final, switching to the tipoff of the NCAA tournament game between Michigan and Florida. The network did alert viewers that if the third set between Andy Murray and David Ferrer went to a tiebreaker, it would switch coverage of the Tennis Channel.

When I reviewed version 6.5 of OfficeSuite Pro earlier this year, I was dismayed that such a capable app could be held back by an outdated interface. OfficeSuite Pro 7 for Android ($9.99) brings a whole new look that makes the app easier to use. This UI improvement, in addition to an already powerful document creation and management app makes OfficeSuite Pro 7 our Editors' Choice for Android mobile office suites.
Polaris Office 4 put up a good fight at an unbeatable price, and Documents To Go 3 had tools that no other suite provided. But, in the end, OfficeSuite Pro 7 had the looks, the support, and the tools to take the top spot. However, I have to point out that Google Drive offers many of the functions of all these suites for free and with file locker to boot. That said, I did not include Google Drive in my consideration for Editors' Choice because it's an online service, and not a standalone app like the others.
Using OfficeSuite Pro 7
The new OfficeSuite Pro greets users with large buttons for the four categories of documents it handles: text documents, spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations. Don't be fooled by that seemingly short list. The app supports DOC, DOCX, DOCM, RTF, TXT, LOG, XLS, XLSX, XLSM, CSV, PPT, PPTX, PPS, PPSX, PPTM, PPSM, PDF, EML, and ZIP formats.
OfficeSuite Pro also plays nice with all the major cloud services, allowing you to easily sync with Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, SugarSync, or SkyDrive to the app. Documents you open through these services also appear in the Recent Documents section, but unfortunately the app does not clearly indicate which recent documents are stored locally.
The app also packs a well-designed file browser which prompts you to select or create a default location for your documents the first time the app starts up. This is a welcome change from many other apps, which provide little to no assistance in navigating the maze of folders inside your Android device. It also supports voice search.
Assistance is another service well supported by OfficeSuite Pro7, which includes not only a general user's guide on the homepage, but also separate guides for text documents, spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations. There's also a link to customer support in the app. It's rare for an app to offer such complete documentation, and ?at least this reviewer appreciates the effort.
Many of these features are accessible through the app's hidden left tray, which is well utilized in OfficeSuite Pro. The app also includes links to download dictionaries for spellcheck and an improved font pack ($4.99), neither of which is covered in this review.
Working in OfficeSuite
Creating and editing documents in OfficeSuite Pro 7 is extremely straightforward, though I did run into a few problems. For some reason, I was unable to italicize any text in the document editor. Beyond that, the app brings strong formatting and editing support on par with other mobile office suites for Android.
While other office suites support comments, OfficeSuite Pro highlights them by default. Comments can also be added to text easily, making document collaboration a breeze. Unfortunately, the app currently does not support version tracking, like Microsoft Office's Track Changes feature, but the developers assure me it will be supported in a later version.
I was particularly pleased with the complete features in spreadsheet mode, where OfficeSuite made editing equations far easier by including a handy on-screen editor for functions. As in PolarisOffice, you tap and drag cells to add them to a function, though I noticed it was sometimes difficult to get the app to acknowledge my selections. I was also pleased to see that the app included short descriptions of what each function does, which is enormously helpful. You can also easily mark cells, rows, and columns as a particular text type?like currency, or numbers?unlike DocumentsToGo 3.
The previous version of OfficeSuite Pro struggled a bit with PowerPoint documents, but the new version's greatly improved interface resolves many of these issues. The app comes preloaded with several templates, and you can edit text by tapping the text boxes or editing straight from overview mode. Slide notes are added from pop-up tray at the bottom of the screen.
Adding a picture to the presentation was a bit problematic, as most of mine were so large they filled the entire slide. Selecting them was difficult, since text box elements are "above" any images you add (see the slideshow). However, once I managed to select it, a bounding box appeared that I could shrink or zoom ?to my heart's content. The app also has slide transitions and a presentation mode where you can write on the screen?similar to Polaris Office. However, the OfficeSuite seemed to have trouble tracking my finger when I moved quickly, creating jagged lines instead of smooth curves.
Polaris Office handles images, and PowerPoint generally, better than OfficeSuite Pro?but only by a little bit.
Looks Matter
OfficeSuite Pro 7 doesn't just look better?the improved UI makes the app far more user friendly. The developers have gone with a clean interface that puts bright buttons against a muted background. Large icons and clear descriptions make it obvious how to navigate the app, and the fresh interface makes the current version worthy of your money. Ten bucks is a fair price for an office suite that's highly capable and simple to use.
OfficeSuite has a consistent look and feel throughout the app. Icons and text on the homescreen look the same in the document viewer, in the menus, and so on. This keeps the navigation clear and is also a mark of a quality product that takes itself seriously.
Polaris Office 4 wowed me with its interface, and it still has a small edge on OfficeSuite Pro 7. Polaris Office has all but done away with tedious nested menus and relies now on large, bold panels that are consistent throughout the app. OfficeSuite's ribbon of options puts the most important tools right above the keyboard, though many more are accessible by pressing the menu button. I was particularly impressed with Styles Bar, which lets you preview each font.
One Issue
In my testing, I noticed that OfficeSuite Pro 7 could not display italicized text on Samsung devices. I've confirmed that this issue with the developer, who assures me that a fix will be released within a month.
This is a fairly major concern, especially because even though the app will not display the italicized text, it will appear if you open the document on another device. However, this is clearly a bug as I did not notice the issue in older versions of the software. Once the developers rectify the problem, I'll likely revisit the app's score.?
Which is the Best?
I've looked at many major contenders in the Android mobile office suite space. I had hoped to find one that did everything, and did it all while looking fabulous. Polaris Office 4 looks great and provides a complete office suite for free. However, it has far too few cloud storage options, and only installed on one of my devices. OfficeSuite Pro 7 has better cloud support, and also a slick UI that rivals that of Polaris Office's. DocumentsToGo 3 is the only app I reviewed that makes tracked changes from Microsoft Word ?visible, though it cannot record further changes.
Google Drive deserves mention here as well, since it not only has strong office support, but also sports a file locker service and is closely tied to Android. However, it does not support creating PowerPoint presentations from the app and cannot connect to other cloud services. Also, I felt it was unfair to compare Google Drive, which is a service, to stand-alone office apps.
In the end, OfficeSuite Pro 7 ?is PCMag's Editors' Choice for mobile office suites for Android, based on its interface, cloud support, supported devices, and strong editing tools. It doesn't have everything, but it has the most options and is easy to use. It's an enormous leap forward for the app, and probably for mobile office apps as a whole. The bar has now been set.?

Once again, just like clockwork, rumors are swirling around an alleged Apple "iRadio" subscription music service, similar to the likes of Pandora and Spotify. These rumors always seem to crop up right before an expected announcement period from Apple -- like spring, summer, or fall, and then disappear when music executives leak that they haven't come to terms on licensing agreements. Which brings us to the latest incarnation, according to the Verge:
Much has been written about Apple's plan to launch a Pandora-esque service this year. Now multiple music industry insiders have told The Verge that significant progress has been made in the talks with two of the top labels: Universal and Warner. One of the sources said "iRadio is coming. There's no doubt about it anymore." Apple is pushing hard for a summertime launch.
Streaming radio services have long been struggling to make a profit and manage revenue streams. According to the sources inside the industry, Apple is in talks with Warner and Universal on streaming agreements:
When and if iRadio happens, it'll be interesting to see how Apple implements it and how pricing would work. It probably isn't likely that record labels would negotiate free deals unless they're advertisement based, which Apple may not be a fan of. How much would you pay to have native streaming on your iOS devices and Apple TV? And how much content would Apple have to have to make you switch from your current streaming service?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. outbreak of E. coli has sickened 24 people, with Farm Rich frozen food suspected as a likely source of the infection, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Friday.
The outbreak strain of Shiga toxin-producing escherichia coli O121, or STEC O121, has been reported in 15 states, the CDC said in a statement.
New York state health officials found the strain in an open package of Farm Rich brand frozen chicken quesadillas from an ill person's home, the CDC said.
Rich Products Corp. of Buffalo, New York, recalled about 196,222 pounds (89,000 kg) of its Farm Rich brand frozen chicken quesadillas and several other frozen mini meals and snack items on Thursday because they might be contaminated, the CDC said.
The Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration are also investigating to find the source of infections, the CDC said.

Two St. Louis Police officers face disciplinary actions stemming from an incident in which one officer allegedly took pot from the scene of a traffic stop. Not only did the squad car's dashboard camera record what happened, but two state lawmakers were along for the ride as observers. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reveals Missouri state Sens. Jamilah Nasheed, D-St. Louis, and Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City, were with officers when the incident occurred. Both lawmakers told a reporter they felt the officers did nothing wrong during the stop.
