Myanmar ended a five-decade state monopoly on daily news, when four privately owned newspapers hit the streets on Monday.

In August of 2012, Myanmar's quasi-civilian government embarked on media reforms as part of its democratization program and recently granted licenses to 16 media groups to print daily papers. Only four publications were available on the first day that the reforms took effect.

"All four papers sold out quickly today," Kyi Kyi, a roadside book vendor, told Reuters.

"But it's very hard to predict their future sales since three of them were distributed free of charge today and the remaining one was sold at 150 kyat ($0.17) per copy." Continue reading.

Myanmar media was ranked among the most oppressed during its military rule.

(AP) ? When Shaquille O'Neal visited the Forum during the summer he joined the Los Angeles Lakers, general manager Jerry West encouraged him to look up at the retired jerseys hanging above the court.

"He said, 'You can be as great as these guys,'" O'Neal recalled.

West's prediction is finally official. Shaq joined Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, George Mikan, West and the rest of the Lakers' greats Tuesday night when the club retired his No. 34 jersey in a halftime ceremony.

"I just wish Dr. Buss was here to see this, to enjoy this joyous occasion," O'Neal said of Lakers owner Jerry Buss, who died in February. "I always hoped and prayed it would come. It was a dream come true."

Although O'Neal rarely finds himself speechless, he's thrilled to receive the honor he first imagined back in 1996 when he chose the Lakers. O'Neal's yellow jersey with white numerals was unveiled to a standing ovation, hanging next to Magic Johnson's No. 32.

"It gets me real emotional," O'Neal said before the game. "Growing up in Newark, New Jersey, and my father teaching me about the game, always mentioning Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and telling me when I was a young medium juvenile delinquent that, 'If you do things right, son, maybe one day you can be as great as those guys.'"

There's no longer any doubt O'Neal ranks among the greatest centers in basketball history. The NBA's sixth-leading career scorer played eight of his 19 seasons with the Lakers, winning three championships and reaching four NBA finals during his basketball prime.

Although O'Neal began his career in Orlando and played for four more teams after leaving Los Angeles, the 15-time All-Star says he considers Los Angeles his NBA home.

"I did most of my damage here, won most of my championships here, had most of my fun here," he said. "Even though I got one in Miami, it was fun, but we had three great ones here, three in a row. If I'm good enough to get into the Hall of Fame, I'll definitely go in as a Laker."

Kobe Bryant was in the locker room during halftime of the Lakers' game against Dallas, but he filmed a video tribute to kick off O'Neal's ceremony, calling him "the most gifted physical specimen I've ever seen play this game.

"What you've meant to the city has been absolutely historical, what we've done together," Bryant added. "I know you've played for other organizations, but you'll always be truly remembered for playing for one."

O'Neal's eight years alongside Bryant are among the most tumultuous and successful times in the team's history. They overcame initial struggles to win three straight titles from 2000-02 with the arrival of coach Phil Jackson, who returned to Staples on Tuesday for O'Neal's ceremony.

O'Neal and Bryant eventually split in 2004 after numerous personal and professional clashes, and their verbal sparring continued through Bryant's fifth championship in 2010. O'Neal insists any feud is long squashed, chalking it all up to posturing and mutual motivation.

"We've talked a lot since our playing days," O'Neal said. "There's two different kinds of dislike. There's an athletic dislike, and there's a real dislike. We never had a real dislike. We had a million good times and a thousand bad times. ... If I had it all over to do again, would I do it different? Probably not."

Jackson got his own attention while attending what was likely his first Lakers game since walking away from the club in 2011 ? and the sellout crowd clearly would rather see him back in the seat currently occupied by Mike D'Antoni. Jackson sat in the second row next to his fiancee, Jeanie Buss, and received several "We Want Phil!" chants of increasing intensity during the ceremony.

"I want to thank you for your dedication and your leadership and the hard work that you put in," Jackson said to O'Neal.

Although he retired in 2011, O'Neal still is making an imprint on the Lakers ? specifically on the psyche of Dwight Howard, their new franchise center.

O'Neal's pointed criticism of Howard in his new job as a television pundit has been an intriguing subplot to the latest Lakers big man's rough debut season. O'Neal didn't back off Howard on his special night, saying Howard should try to average 28 points and 10 rebounds per game if he hopes to be taken seriously as an elite center.

"We don't really have a relationship, but I'm just doing to him what the others did to me," O'Neal said of Howard, recalling Abdul-Jabbar calling him "an OK player" before he had any rings.

"I think it was Kareem's challenge to me to step it up," O'Neal added. "I'm not criticizing (Howard). I'm just issuing a challenge. I think I have the right to say, 'You have to average 28-10 in order to get a championship.' I just see a kid with a lot of talent."

When asked if he empathized with Howard's struggles to get healthy after offseason back surgery, O'Neal said: "My father was a military drill sergeant, and his motto was, 'If you can walk, you can play.' I wish there was a time I was injury-free when I played. I empathize with his pain, but no pain, no gain. He has the potential to be one of the greatest big men ever, but he has to want it."

O'Neal's celebration included profuse thanks to the Buss family, several former coaches and Lakers employees. He name-checked nearly everybody who worked for the Lakers during his eight-year tenure, even extending a detailed thanks to former assistant coach Bill Bertka.

"The only regrets I have are missing 200 games and missing 5,000 free throws," O'Neal said. "Other than that, I had fun, did it my way. Made a lot of friends, made a lot of enemies. It was all fun."

(AP) ? The environmental impacts of an oil spill in central Arkansas began to come into focus Monday as officials said a couple of dead ducks and 10 live oily birds were found after an ExxonMobil pipeline ruptured last week.

"I'm an animal lover, a wildlife lover, as probably most of the people here are," Faulkner County Judge Allen Dodson told reporters. "We don't like to see that. No one does."

Officials are urging people in Mayflower, a small city about 20 miles northwest of Little Rock, not to touch any injured or oiled animals as crews clean up Friday's spill.

About 12,000 barrels of oil and water have been recovered since ExxonMobil's Pegasus pipeline sprung a leak, spewing oil onto lawns and roadways and nearly fouling a nearby lake.

Dodson said he expects a few more oily birds to turn up in the coming days.

"I don't expect a great number of them," he said. "I'll be thoroughly disappointed if there are."

Investigators are still working to determine what caused the spill, which led authorities to evacuate nearly two dozen homes in a subdivision.

It's not clear when residents will be able to return to their homes, but Dodson said it could be within days for some people.

"Our focus is to protect the community," said Karen Tyrone, vice president of operations for ExxonMobil Pipeline Co. "We have air monitoring going on seven days a week, 24 hours a day ... and to date, we have no indication that there's a health impact on the community."

Still, the air smells like oil, and area residents say it has for days.

"We live five miles out in the country and we've had the smell out there," Karen Lewis, 54, said outside a local grocery store. Its parking lot, like much of this small city, is teeming with cleanup crews and their trucks.

Meanwhile, in the neighborhood where the pipeline burst, workers in yellow suits waded in an oil-soaked lawn Monday as they tried to clean up part of the area where the spill began.

The pipeline that ruptured dates back to the 1940s, according to ExxonMobil, and is part of the Pegasus pipeline that carries crude oil from the Midwest to refineries in the Gulf of Mexico.

Exxon spokesman Charlie Engelmann said the oil is conventionally produced Canadian heavy crude.

"Crude oil is crude oil," Dodson said. "None of it is real good to touch."

Prosecutor asks for death in Holmes case

[Updated at 1:16 p.m. MT]

CENTENNIAL, Colo.?Arapahoe County District Attorney George Brauchler wasted little time Monday morning in announcing he will seek the death penalty against the man accused of shooting 70 people, killing 12, during a midnight attack at an Aurora, Colo., movie theater last summer.

"Justice is death," Brauchler told the court, minutes after the hearing started.

Brauchler said his office surveyed victims and hundreds of people connected to the massacre to help make the decision.

"I hope I can be in the room when he dies," said Bryan Beard, whose friend Alex Sullivan was killed in the theater. "If you cause death upon somebody, I believe the only justice is death."

Reporters in the courtroom said Holmes appeared to have no reaction to Brauchler's announcement. His parents, Robert and Arlene Holmes, reportedly clasped hands and then embraced when the DA disclosed his plan. A few people on the victims' side of the courtroom cried.

Holmes, who sat about 15 feet from his parents, made strong eye contact with them when he entered the courtroom.

Marcus Weaver, who was shot in the arm during the July 2012 attack, said he wished Holmes would admit to the killings: "Holmes has an exceptional opportunity to [tell] the world, 'Hey, I made a mistake, and I'm owning up to it.' Man up. Save us all the difficulty. Accept what you did. Accept your fate."

Weaver said he would rather see Holmes admit guilt than watch him die.

"You have an obligation ... if you're guilty to plead guilty," Weaver said.

In another development, 18th Judicial District Chief Judge William Sylvester told the court he has reassigned the Holmes case to Judge Carlos A. Samour.

Sylvester, the administrative judge for four counties, wrote that "logistical demands" and the "enormous consumption of resources" of a death penalty case necessitated the switch.

Samour took the bench after a short recess Monday morning. His first decision was to delay the start of the trial from Aug. 5, 2013, to Feb. 3, 2014. He projected the trial to last four months, despite Holmes' defense team arguing that they'll need longer.

"We will do what we need to do to defend his life," defense attorney Tamara Brady said in court. "This is not an ordinary case."

The decision to seek the death penalty follows last week?s legal theatrics in which Holmes? defense team said it would enter a guilty plea if the district attorney settled on a life-in-prison sentence.

?It is Mr. Holmes? position that this case could be resolved on April 1,? his public defenders announced last Wednesday in court filings posted online by the Denver Post. ?Mr. Holmes made an offer to the prosecution to resolve this case by pleading guilty and spending the rest of his life in prison, without any opportunity for parole.?

Not only did prosecutors decline the guilty offer?first made prior to Holmes? March 12 arraignment?but they also lambasted the defense for making it public.

In a 13-page rebuttal to the defense, the prosecution dubbed the public announcement ?grossly improper? and ?a calculated attempt to improperly inject? the plea in front of the Aurora community and the world. The prosecution also accused the Colorado public defenders office of violating the court?s order on pretrial publicity.

Because of the defense?s public plea, the "only conclusion that [people] would reach ... is that the defendant knows that he is guilty, the defense attorneys know that he is guilty, and that both of them know that he was not criminally insane,? the prosecution?s filing said.

A mental health defense would be central to Holmes? case, his attorneys have implied repeatedly. Nearly all courtroom argument so far has revolved around his mental state, with the prosecution alleging that Holmes carefully crafted a ?detailed and complex? scheme to commit mass murder?with his sanity fully intact.

At the arraignment, King told Sylvester that Holmes wasn?t ready to enter a plea because the defense didn?t know whether the prosecution wanted to pursue the death penalty. The judge then entered a not-guilty plea on Holmes? behalf, as allowed by law.

Also at Monday?s hearing, the defense and attorneys for Jana Winter, a FoxNews.com reporter, argued whether Winter must divulge the names of two law enforcement sources who gave her information for a July 25 story about an unopened package that Holmes mailed to the University of Colorado at Denver. Winter, quoting the unnamed officials, reported that Holmes sent his former school psychiatrist a notebook containing drawings that foreshadowed the attack. Because of a court gag order, those law enforcement sources were prevented from talking to the media.

Holmes? attorneys have argued that by talking with Winter, the two anonymous sources damaged the defendant?s right to a fair trial. Winter was in court Monday morning, but Samour hasn't ruled whether she should testify.

Holmes, 25, was a former neuroscience student at CU-Denver before the massacre at the premiere of ?The Dark Knight Rises,? the latest Batman movie. Police arrested Holmes, who was wearing body armor and had weapons close by, behind the theater shortly after the shootings. Police say he also booby-trapped his nearby Aurora apartment with explosives to injure or kill anyone who entered. He faces multiple counts of murder and attempted murder.

FE colleges urged to adopt new flag and anthem | FE Week

AoC-reach-for-the-college

Colleges will be urged to help solve FE?s ?Cinderella complex? with a bold new marketing campaign that includes a sector flag.

Principals will also be asked to adopt a sector ?anthem? for use as their institutions? telephone hold music and for official functions.

The song, a ?re-imagining? of S Club 7 hit Reach, has already been recorded with vocals by former Four Poofs and a Piano singer Ian Parkin.

The campaign is aimed at attracting more students to FE and boosting the sector?s profile.

It is being spearheaded by the Association of Colleges and is due to be launched today.

Association chief executive Martin Doel (top left, displaying the new flag alongside FE Week editor Nick Linford) said: ?Just recently, speaking to the Education Select Committee, even Ofsted?s Sir Michael Wilshaw made reference to FE?s Cinderella complex ? how, despite the essential work it does, it can sometimes seem neglected compared to other parts of the education system.

?We?ve taken great strides in overcoming this and will continue to do so, but after hearing Sir Michael?s comments I thought maybe we should try a new and different tack.?

He added: ?The flag was the first element that came to mind because the sector doesn?t have a unified symbol.

?The thinking behind it was very much inspired by the popularity of the London Olympics design and linked to that was the anthem idea.?

London-based firm Pink Salmon Media donated their time to designing the flag and employed Ivor Novello award-winning composer Paul K Joyce to write the anthem, provisionally named Reach For The College.

I ended up finding a singing voice I never knew I had? Martin Doel, AoC

Mr Joyce said: ?I hope the anthem makes people smile but I also hope it encourages them to really think about further education as an option.?

His previous credits include Can We Fix It?, the theme tune for children?s TV show Bob the Builder, which sold more than a million records and was the biggest selling single of 2000, and The Snow Queen, a stage show and animated film based on the Hans Christian-Anderson story, featuring Juliet Stephenson and Patrick Stewart.

Shane Palmer, Pink Salmon managing director, said: ?It was an honour for us to be appointed this task and I think our team has produced a stunning image for the FE sector to be proud of.

?We have utilised the profile of a mountain to signify the uphill journey to improvement and placed a flag on top of the mountain to signify achievement.

?Having the flag within the flag is also redolent of the learning that takes place within the learning environment because lecturers are on their own journey of discovery, as we all are.?

She added: ?I?m especially pleased with Paul?s re-imagining of the S Club 7 classic Reach, which made it all the way to number two in 2000, for the sector anthem.?

Colleges will be able to register to use the flag and the anthem on a special website due to be launched next week.

Mr Doel said: ?The anthem has already been recorded and I?m sure it will surprise many with just how catchy and upbeat it is ? and that?s something that rings true for the sector and how positive we want to be about it.

?Recording it was also an amazing experience. I only went along to the studios to oversee production and I actually got asked to do some backing vocals ? I ended up finding a singing voice I never knew I had.?

All Quiet On The Western Front: Gaming M&A May Be In A Lull As A New Generation Grows Up

kixeye-boardWhen you step off the elevator into Kixeye’s new downtown San Francisco office, a guy in military fatigues has you sign an NDA. After you do (I didn’t), a receptionist with a lot of piercings takes your name, while The White Panda’s “Foolish Monsters” blares in the background. Kixeye has whale harpoons stapled to its office walls, bad oil paintings (see left), ceiling-to-floor drawings of fire-breathing dragons and jacked unicorns, a 3-D printer of questionable purpose and little desire to answer to anyone else. All while remaining profitable, the midcore social gaming company has quintupled its headcount over the last year to more than 450 employees. The company says it has “several” times the $19 million in capital they raised stowed away in the bank. Too expensive for acquirers and still too small and unproven for public markets, privately-held gaming companies like Kixeye are chugging along profitably and doing things their own way. “We don’t talk about exit scenarios here. The employees are not here for that,” said Brandon Barber, who is Kixeye’s chief marketing officer. “Most people are here because they love making games and that’s what they want to do. Focusing on that stuff at this point in our trajectory is super distracting.” (If you want to know what Kixeye really thinks of everyone else in the industry, watch this video.) Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, other privately-held gaming companies such as Finland’s Rovio and Supercell, the U.K.’s King and Germany’s Wooga are also growing profitable businesses. Buyers Beware That feeling is mutual on the buyers’ side too. Warner Bros said last week that it would be opening a gaming studio in San Francisco. In other words, it is choosing to build, not buy. “Every time we looked at a company that was really interesting, we found that the price tag was more money than we thought was reasonable to pay,” said Greg Ballard, who is Warner Bros. senior vice president of digital games. Similarly, EA is holding off after some big ticket deals in the last few years to buy Seattle’s PopCap for up to $1.3 billion. “With regards to a large acquisition, we’re probably OK for the time being,” said Nick Earl, who oversees most of EA’s free-to-play games as a senior vice president there. “If the right deal presents itself, we would make that deal. But we’re not actively seeking it.” He said his arm of
