Robbie Powell: I Am Mariah Yeater's Baby Daddy!

Robbie Powell is as sick of this Justin Bieber baby drama as we are, and the ex-boyfriend of Mariah Yeater plans on putting an end to it.

Powell - the young man who Yeater allegedly identified as the father of her son in a series of text messages a few weeks ago - reportedly wants to take a DNA test of his own, sources confirm to TMZ. He's sick of Yeater using their son as a money-grabbing prop.

Dear Mariah Yeater: Go far, far away.

Bieber, of course, has already taken a DNA test of his own... but Yeater's lawyer is insisting on yet another one because he claims the initial procedure was not properly supervised.

Perhaps if Powell - who claims Yeater admitted to him she conjured up the Bieber because she's desperate for money - goes through with his test, this story can finally be refuted and we can all move on. There is a very young boy at the center of it, after all. Let's not forget that.

Review: iTunes Match wins cloud music war by wisp (AP)

LOS ANGELES ? In recent weeks, Apple, Google and Amazon.com have each launched the missing puzzle piece in their wireless mobile music systems.

Apple enabled storage and delivery of your songs over the Internet through iTunes Match. Google started selling music digitally. Amazon shipped an electronic-books device, called the Kindle Fire, that does much more than books.

With those additions, each system now lets you buy songs, store them on faraway computers called the cloud and retrieve them wirelessly on devices connected to the Internet.

But which system do you want to live with? It's a choice you can't make lightly because these companies don't play nice with each other. Once you've adopted one, it's hard to switch.

If this were the Music Cloud Wars, then Apple's iTunes Match would be winning ? but not by much.

Here's a quick primer, along with a few ways to get in and around their digital barriers.

___

iTunes Match.

There's a good chance you are familiar with iTunes. The software is on millions of computers, and many of you have iPods, iPhones or iPads that let you consume content bought through the iTunes online store.

ITunes Match is a $25-a-year service on top of that. It sees everything you have in iTunes and matches it to copies Apple already has stored in the cloud. Songs not already there will be uploaded from your computer to a personal locker in the cloud.

It's alone among the three to let you download songs to iPhones and iPads wirelessly. That means a full copy of the song is stored for listening anytime, rather than streamed on demand over wireless networks, which can be spotty. There's nothing more annoying than having your songs stop and start as your connection flutters.

You can have up to 25,000 songs on the service, plus an unlimited number bought through iTunes ? great for those with large music collections. Of course, most of you won't fit 25,000 songs on your device, so streaming is an option for songs you haven't downloaded yet.

If there's a tune you want to listen to offline, just tap an icon. It takes only a few seconds, and you can start listening before it's done.

One major caveat: You need an Apple device to use this, and specifically a newer one with Apple's iOS 5 mobile software. You're out of luck if you have a phone running Google's Android system, for instance.

___

Google Music.

Using Google's free Music Manager program, you upload music you own into Google's cloud. Unlike Apple, Google doesn't have songs preloaded, so this can take hours or days.

Google Music works best with an Android phone or tablet computer. You simply download the Google Music app to your device. Voila, your songs will be available for streaming. You can save songs for offline playback by "pinning" them with a digital push pin icon.

The service stores up to 20,000 songs, not including those bought through a companion music store run by Google. That's not as many as iTunes Match, but it's free.

I like Google's music store because it offers plenty of bargains. I found Coldplay's latest album, Mylo Xyloto, for $5 ? half the price on iTunes. Google plans to release lots of free music, too.

I also like that if you buy from Google's music store, you can share the songs with friends on its Google Plus social network. They get one full listen for free ? that's something not available anywhere else.

One downside: Google's store isn't as extensive as Apple's or Amazon's. For instance, it's missing songs from Warner Music Group, which accounts for about 20 percent of music sold in the U.S.

Google Music also isn't a great option for users of Apple devices.

Google found a way to make the system work on iPhones and iPads through Apple's Safari Web browser. It has a surprising app-like feel because of the way menus respond to touch. But Apple device users won't be able to store songs for offline use.

There's also a trick for Apple users to take advantage of music deals: Download the songs onto a computer, put the music in iTunes and upload the songs into Apple's cloud through iTunes Match. It's not pretty, but it works.

___

Amazon Cloud Drive.

The new Kindle Fire completed Amazon's music system, though it's not required. It works fine on Android devices through the Amazon MP3 app.

Released in March, Amazon's cloud storage system is free for up to 5 gigabytes of storage ? roughly 1,250 songs. If you bought Lady Gaga's latest album, "Born This Way," in a 99-cent promotion in May, you'll have 20 GB of space ? good for about 5,000 songs.

Amazon's uploader works about the same as Google's. It could take hours or days to get your songs into the cloud. But once there, you can stream or download songs to the Kindle Fire or to Android devices.

Like Google, Amazon sells songs and albums at a discount to iTunes, and its long-running music store has a selection comparable to iTunes.

Amazon has also found a way to make its system work on Apple devices, using Safari as well, but that workaround is clunkier than Google's and doesn't support downloads either.

One other downside to Amazon's service is that you'll likely have to pay for cloud storage, as you do with iTunes Match.

Having 5 GB of storage for free is kind of meaningless because most mobile devices have that already. The Kindle Fire comes with 8 GB on board. For a limited time, you can get 20 GB of storage for $20 a year ? and most music files won't count against the total.

___

Although there are things to like about Google's and Amazon's systems, they both favor streaming, which isn't how I want to listen to music when I'm not at a computer.

Apple's iTunes Match is fundamentally more oriented to work with downloading in mind, and it meshes well with your existing song library, either on your device or on your computer.

The iTunes store is also set up better ? showing what's new and popular, and acting as a barometer of popular culture. Google promotes what's free and Amazon emphasizes its bargains, but those picks aren't always what I'm looking for.

Ultimately it's great to have cloud services out there. It has helped me organize my music collection and reconnected me with songs stuck in the recesses of my computer.

In the end, though, these services ought to be as free and easy to access over multiple devices as email is. Instead, they come across as tools to get you to buy this or that device. And we shouldn't be made to pay for a song once and then again when we store it.

Music in the cloud has promise, but it hasn't fully delivered just yet.

Oil price rises to $100 a barrel again (AP)

NEW YORK ? A rebound in U.S. consumer confidence and escalating tensions in Iran pushed oil to $100 per barrel on Tuesday.

The price of benchmark crude rose $1.58 to end the day at $99.79 per barrel in New York. It rose as high as $100.15 a barrel earlier in the session.

Oil prices jumped early in the day after a private survey found that U.S. consumer confidence rose this month to the highest level since July. The Conference Board survey followed robust retail sales over the Thanksgiving weekend. The U.S. is the world's largest oil consumer, and its economy is driven by consumer spending.

A surge of violence in Iran also helped boost oil prices. Students angered at sanctions against Iran for its nuclear program stormed the British embassy in Teheran and other British diplomatic sites before police restored order. Iran is the world's third-largest oil exporter. While analysts say it's unlikely that Western nations would impose an embargo on Iranian oil, the potential for more violence in the country could keep prices up.

"It's a little frightening, especially for anyone who remembers the Iranian revolution," said Tom Kloza, publisher and chief oil analyst at Oil Price Information Service. From November 1979 until January 1981, 52 American were held hostage after students overran the U.S. embassy in Iran.

Meanwhile, European leaders continued to work on a last-minute strategy to save the euro and prevent a eurozone collapse that could send the region into recession.

While traders kept a wary eye on Europe and Iran, analysts said the consumer confidence numbers in the U.S. show the American economy is on stronger footing. That bodes well for future oil demand.

"Everyone's really focused on the holiday shopping," independent analyst and trader Stephen Schork said. "It's pushed the European situation to the back seat."

Growing consumer spending should boost energy demand for shipping companies and other major U.S. industries. But motorists are still conserving fuel, according to a study released Tuesday by MasterCard SpendingPulse. Its analysis of gasoline purchases shows that American drivers have cut way back this year. Motorists bought an average of 369 million gallons of gasoline per day during the four-week period that ended Nov. 25. That's down 4.1 percent from a year ago.

At the pump, retail gasoline prices were steady Tuesday at a national average of $3.295 per gallon, according to AAA, Wright Express and Oil Price Information Service. A gallon of regular is about 15 cents cheaper than a month ago, but it's still nearly 44 cents higher than the same time last year.

In other energy trading, heating oil rose 5.12 cents to finish at $3.0211 per gallon, while gasoline futures increased 2.1 cents to end the day at $2.5391 per gallon. Natural gas rose 10.8 cents to finish at $3.633 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Brent crude, which is used to price many kinds of foreign oil, rose $1.84 to end at $109.86 a barrel in London.

PJ Media ? Screening for Terrorists vs. Screening for Cancer

As the holiday travel season approaches, millions of American air passengers will become painfully reacquainted with Transportation Security Agency (TSA) screening measures. Passengers must submit to either medically unnecessary X-rays or intrusive gropings. Yet in the realm of health care the federal government has adopted a new policy of discouraging routine screening tests for many cancers. Although these two policies may seem superficially contradictory, they demonstrate an underlying common theme of the government seeking ever-greater control over our bodies and our freedom.

Screening travelers and screening patients share some common features. In both cases the goal is to sort through a large, mostly-normal population to identify the relatively few problem cases ? either an undetected terrorist or a hidden cancer.

The TSA?s current approach of mass passenger screening has long angered many Americans. Frequent flyer Tabitha Hale described her own recent horror story at, ?No, TSA, I will not lift my skirt for you.? Because the screenings are universal (lest the government be accused of ?profiling?), the TSA routinely screens grandmothers and small children who pose no terrorist threat. Even worse, the TSA screeners are of dubious effectiveness. TSA screeners have failed to detect simulated bombs and real guns. The attempted hijacking of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 two years ago was thwarted not by the TSA but by alert passengers.

In contrast to mandatory screening for terrorists, the government is actively discouraging Americans from regular screening for common forms of cancer. The federal government?s U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recently declared that men should not undergo routine screening for prostate cancer with the PSA blood test ? currently considered part of prudent preventive health care for men over age 50 by many primary care physicians and the American Cancer Society. In 2009, the USPSTF similarly recommended restricting screening mammography to women over 50 (and only at 2 year intervals), despite the proven medical benefits of the current practice of screening women starting at age 40 at yearly intervals.

Video: US-Pakistan relations strained following airstrike

>> and the deadly attack over the weekend by u.s. troops that killed at least two dozen members of the pakistani military . and now it's created a huge mess in the u.s. relationship with pakistan . a nuclear nation, don't forget, that's key to the u.s. war effort in afghanistan . by the way, a war on which we spend roughly $2 billion a week. there are new details tonight, still a lot of questions about what went wrong. our own jim miklaszewski is on duty at the pentagon tonight. hey, jim. good evening.

>> reporter: good evening, brian. u.s. officials tell nbc news that before launching those deadly air strikes , american commanders got permission from the pakistani military to go ahead with the attack. but now the u.s. military is looking at the possibility that american forces may have hit the wrong targets. pakistan 's military and government leadership gathered for a mass funeral in islamabad to mourn the deaths of the 25 pakistan soldiers killed in u.s. air strikes. while violent anti-u.s. demonstrations exploded across pakistan . the white house tried to ease another round of growing tensions between the u.s. and pakistan .

>> the president's reaction is all of our reaction which is that the events that took those lives, the event rather, was a tragedy.

>> reporter: pakistanis say it was unprovoked but others claim it was self-defense. they claim rockets were fired at american and afghan forces in afghanistan . the americans called for air cover and u.s. helicopter gun ships attacked two separate outposts killing the 24 pakistani troops. pakistan quickly retaliated. cargo trucks stacked up at the afghanistan border after pakistan shut down the critical supply line that provides american forces with 40% of what they need to fight the war.

>> this has put us in one step short of a strategic disaster. we simply can't operate without at least 50% of our supplies that come through pakistan on the ground and are now held up.

>> reporter: it's the latest in a series of clashes between the u.s. and pakistan , including the u.s. raid that killed osama bin laden that potentially threatened the entire u.s. war effort in afghanistan . joint chief chairman martin dempsey knows exactly what's at stake.

>> is it serious? absolutely. are we taking it seriously? i can promise you that. i don't know how it will turn out.

>> reporter: the u.s. and nato launched two separate investigations into this attack. while officials here at the pentagon are confident that pakistan will eventually re-open those vital u.s. supply lines , they fear it will come at a heavy price, brian.

>> jim miklaszewski , great work at the pentagon tonight on a big story for this country.

Romney the 1st GOP candidate to plant flag in Fla. (AP)

MEDLEY, Fla. ? If there's any Republican presidential candidate who can afford to spend precious time and money focusing on winning in Florida, it's the one campaigning here Tuesday.

While others focus on Iowa's caucuses or the early primaries in New Hampshire and South Carolina, Mitt Romney is set to spend the day in the state welcoming endorsements from three top Cuban-American Republicans, attending several fundraisers and visiting the port in Tampa to discuss trade policy.

It's the only early primary state Romney's visiting this week, little more than a month before voters start weighing in on the GOP nominating contest.

Contrast that with his rivals, who have spent most of primary campaign jockeying to become the consensus conservative alternative to the former Massachusetts governor ? and probably need to win at least one earlier-than-Florida primary to stand a chance of competing with Romney. Florida votes Jan. 31 and is likely to play a key role in deciding the GOP nominee.

Newt Gingrich is spending three days in South Carolina this week. Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman are campaigning in New Hampshire. Rick Santorum and Michele Bachmann are both in Iowa. Herman Cain is scheduled to make stops in Michigan and Ohio, though his campaign is now battling new accusations that he had an extramarital affair.

"It's almost like every other campaign is focused on this slingshot strategy with having to win one or two other states and then coming into Florida with momentum," said Brett Doster, who ran former President George W. Bush's reelection campaign in Florida and is now advising Romney.

The mechanics of winning here play directly to Romney's strengths at a candidate. He's shown discomfort with the hand-to-hand retail politicking that's critical in other early states but isn't effective in a state of nearly 19 million people. He's sitting on the kind of cash it takes to run TV ads here ? nearly $1.5 million per week for a buy in all 10 of the state's media markets ? and keep raising it.

But part of his effort reflects an acknowledgment that Romney's vulnerabilities mean he can't afford to neglect the state. While he has a significant lead in New Hampshire, he's vulnerable in Iowa and South Carolina. His top advisers have long said performing well in Florida is critical for his campaign.

Almost all of Romney's rivals, on the other hand, acknowledge they're barely thinking about the Sunshine State.

"This race hasn't come to Florida yet," said Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond. Gingrich's first priority is South Carolina, where he's hired nearly a dozen staffers and opened several campaign offices.

"Iowa and New Hampshire and the earliest states are priorities for the governor's time and our campaign," said Perry spokesman Ray Sullivan.

"We felt all along that Iowa was going to be our priority from day number one," said Bachmann spokeswoman Alice Stewart. "As to when and how we campaign in Florida will be decided after the caucuses."

Most of the Republican field did gather here for three days of events surrounding a debate and a straw poll at the end of September. But since then, Bachmann and Perry haven't come back for public events. Huntsman moved his campaign headquarters from Orlando to Manchester, N.H.

Cain, who won the straw poll, was in Miami earlier this month, where he visited a restaurant in Little Havana that's a frequent stop for political candidates. But he's dogged by allegations of sexual harassment and now an extramarital affair, and has suffered in polls for it.

The straw poll was a setback for Perry. Still, he pays a staff of 11 in the state and has worked to cultivate relationships with tea party leaders. He's also hired a national campaign team that has significant Florida experience, including several members of the team that elected Republican Gov. Rick Scott in 210. But Perry hasn't been back since September, and a series of bad debate performances have hampered his fundraising and ability to compete here.

Romney didn't officially compete in the poll, though he attended the debate. He has five paid staffers working for him out of a state campaign headquarters in Tampa ? also the site of the Republican National Convention next summer. He's campaigned here periodically since announcing his candidacy in June.

He will spend Tuesday morning accepting endorsements from Florida Reps. Ileana Ros Lehtinen and Mario Diaz-Balart and former Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Balart. All three are key leaders in the Cuban American community, a critical constituency in South Florida. Taken together, the endorsements help contribute to the perception that Romney is the inevitable GOP nominee.

Also Tuesday, Romney will attend a fundraiser in Naples and make remarks on trade policy at the port in Tampa.

The Secrets of Ancient Rome's Buildings

? Tiziana Fabi/AFP/Getty Images
Roman Colosseum The Colosseum, inaugurated in A.D. 80, seated 50,000 and hosted gladiatorial games, ritual animal hunts, parades and executions.

What is it about Roman concrete that keeps the Pantheon and the Colosseum still standing?

The Romans started making concrete more than 2,000 years ago, but it wasn't quite like today's concrete. They had a different formula, which resulted in a substance that was not as strong as the modern product. Yet structures like the Pantheon and the Colosseum have survived for centuries, often with little to no maintenance. Geologists, archaeologists and engineers are studying the properties of ancient Roman concrete to solve the mystery of its longevity.

"Roman concrete is . . . considerably weaker than modern concretes. It's approximately ten times weaker," says Renato Perucchio, a mechanical engineer at the University of Rochester in New York. "What this material is assumed to have is phenomenal resistance over time."

That resistance, or durability against the elements, may be due to one of the concrete's key ingredients: volcanic ash. Modern concrete is a mix of a lime-based cement, water, sand and so-called aggregates such as fine gravel. The formula for Roman concrete also starts with limestone: builders burned it to produce quicklime and then added water to create a paste. Next they mixed in volcanic ash - usually three parts volcanic ash to one part lime, according to the writings of Vitruvius, a first-century B.C. architect and engineer. The volcanic ash reacted with the lime paste to create a durable mortar that was combined with fist-size chunks of bricks or volcanic rocks called tuff, and then packed into place to form structures like walls or vaults.

By the beginning of the second century B.C., the Romans were already using this concrete in large-scale construction projects, suggesting their experimentation with the building material began even earlier. Other ancient societies such as the Greeks probably also used lime-based mortars (in ancient China, sticky rice was added for increased strength). But combining a mortar with an aggregate like brick to make concrete was likely a Roman invention, Perucchio says.

In the earliest concretes, Romans mined ash from a variety of ancient volcanic deposits. But builders got picky around the time Augustus became the first Roman emperor, in 27 B.C. At that time, Augustus initiated an extensive citywide program to repair old monuments and erect new ones, and builders exclusively used volcanic ash from a deposit called Pozzolane Rosse, an ash flow that erupted 456,000 years ago from the Alban Hills volcano, 12 miles southeast of Rome.

"Emperor Augustus was the driving force behind the systemization, standardization of mortar mixes with Pozzolane Rosse," says Marie Jackson, a geologist and research engineer at the University of California at Berkeley. Roman builders likely favored the ash deposit because of the durability of concrete made with it, she adds. "This was the secret to concretes that were very well bonded, coherent, robust materials."

Jackson and her colleagues have been studying the chemical composition of concretes made with Pozzolane Rosse. The ash's unique mix of minerals appears to have helped the concrete withstand chemical decay and damage.

The Romans favored another specific volcanic ash when making concrete harbor structures that were submerged in the salty waters of the Mediterranean. Pulvis Puteolanus was mined from deposits near the Bay of Naples. "The Romans shipped thousands and thousands of tons of that volcanic ash around the Mediterranean to build harbors from the coast of Italy to Israel to Alexandria in Egypt to Pompeiopolis in Turkey," Jackson says.

Seawater is very damaging to modern concrete. But in Roman concrete, the Pulvis Puteolanus "actually plays a role in mitigating deterioration when water percolates through it," Jackson says. Although the exact mechanism is unknown, it appears that chemical reactions among the lime paste, volcanic ash and seawater created microscopic structures within the concrete that trapped molecules like chlorides and sulfates that harm concrete today.

Despite the success of Roman concrete, the use of the material disappeared along with the Roman Empire. Concrete structures were seldom built during the Middle Ages, suggesting volcanic ash wasn't the only secret to the durability of Roman concrete, Perucchio says. "These really large projects could only be done with the appropriate bureaucracy, with the proper organization that the Roman Empire would provide."

Utah man pleads not guilty to viewing child porn on flight (Reuters)

BOSTON (Reuters) ? A Utah college professor accused of viewing naked images of children on his laptop while flying first-class to Boston over the weekend pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges of possessing child pornography, authorities said.

Grant Smith, a professor of material science and engineering at the University of Utah, was arrested on Saturday shortly after his Delta Airlines flight from Utah to Boston landed at Logan International Airport, state police said.

Another passenger who saw Smith's computer screen alerted the flight crew about what appeared to be child pornography and also told a family member who contacted authorities, police said.

"These weren't photos of a child in the bath that a parent might keep," Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley said of the images. "These were explicitly sexual and extremely disturbing."

State police interviewed Smith upon arrival and recovered multiple still images from his laptop depicting young girls, some naked and some engaged in explicit sexual activity with adult males, the district attorney's office said.

Police estimate the children in the images were between five and 14 years old, it said.

Smith, 47, was ordered held on $75,000 cash bail, the Suffolk County District Attorney's office said. He was ordered not to have unsupervised contact with any child under 16 as part of the bail conditions, it said.

The University of Utah said it had placed Smith on administrative leave pending the outcome of the criminal case.

"Professor Smith deserves a full and fair investigation into this issue," a university statement said. "The University of Utah, however, has no tolerance for the viewing or possessing of child pornography by any of its employees, regardless of where it occurs."

If the allegations were found to be true, the university said it would move to immediately dismiss Smith, who was due back in court in Boston next month.

Polls open in Congo election (AP)

KINSHASA, Congo ? Polls opened in Congo's capital as the government of this nation pummeled by war vowed to go ahead with its much-anticipated election despite massive logistical challenges.

As day broke on Monday, a trickle gathered outside polling stations as residents waited to take part in a presidential and legislative election that could further consolidate the country's peace, or else drag it back into conflict.

Opposition candidates had called for the poll to be delayed because of the late delivery of voting materials. As they opened Monday, several polling stations were unable to allow voting because they were still without ink.

Off-duty police pepper spray NC shoppers

A video posted on YouTube depicts the incident in which security used pepper spray on shoppers in Kinston, N.C.

By msnbc.com staff and NBC News

Updated 4:55 p.m. ET: Kinston police are disputing accounts of the incident, telling NBC News that they fired a single "puff" of pepper spray when a?large group of people tried to grab products before?Walmart employees were finished putting the items on display.

Angel Bunting, who was shopping at the store, said a man fell into a display as people lined up for discounted cell phones. She said she believed it was an accident but security thought there was a fight.

About 20 people, including children, were affected by the pepper spray, she alleged, but that couldn't be confirmed.

In a video of the even posted on YouTube, which you can watch above, people are seen covering their noses and mouths before police handcuff a man.

Police arrested a 58-year-old man who they said failed to follow their instructions. The man, perhaps ironically, is a former Kinston police officer, CBS station WNCT reported.

"He was raining it over the whole crowd, so it will rain down on their heads," the man told the station. "Some of it got my granddaughter in her face and eyes, and she had to go the emergency room because she's asthmatic."
