(AP) ? Keegan Bradley shot a 10-under 60 for a course record even with consecutive bogeys in the middle of his opening round at the Byron Nelson Championship on Thursday.

Bradley was 7 under his last eight holes, including an eagle 3 at No. 7 before back-to-back birdies to end his round. That came after his two bogeys ? he missed the fairway at No. 18 and had a par putt that lipped the hole at No. 1 to start his back nine.

The 60 matched the lowest round at the Nelson, but was the first at the TPC Four Seasons course. Arron Oberholser shot 60 in 2006, and Sam Snead in 1957.

That gave Bradley a three-stroke lead over 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel among those who played morning rounds.

Sony Xperia SP review: lights, camera, performance

Sony Xperia SP review lights, camera, performance

Sony's Xperia Z took the company into the big leagues this year: the company finally has a handset that turns heads and can compete with the established Galaxy and One brands. The Z and its plainer ZL variant weren't the only bullets in the Xperia revolver for 2013, though. Back in March, the company announced the Xperia SP and Xperia L handsets to fall in line behind its flagship. While the L is undoubtedly targeted at the low end of the Android spectrum, the Xperia SP sits in a strange middle ground, with a 720p display and internals that rival the flagships of 2012. It's not some kind of Xperia S and P fusion, either. The design is vastly different from the sum of its moniker, although the transparent element that defined those devices makes a comeback here.

And thus, with intrigue, we must put the Xperia through its paces the Engadget way. Is it just another Android handset put out so there's something with the Sony name available at a lower price point than the Z? Is there anything other than a transparent piece of plastic to set it apart from the plethora of other touchscreen rectangles that live in the shadow of their top-tier peers? Instead of pondering the answers to those questions yourself, save time by heading past the break for our full review.

Astronauts reflect on Skylab, 'life off Earth' legacy

NASA TV

International Space Station Expedition 34 commander Kevin Ford (right) presents Skylab astronauts Owen Garriott (left) and Gerald Carr with space-flown flags to mark the 40th anniversary of their missions on board America's first space station on Monday at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C..

By Robert Z. Pearlman

Before the International Space Station existed, before U.S. astronauts shared space on Russia's space station Mir, America's first home in Earth orbit was Skylab.?

The converted upper stage of a massive Saturn V moon rocket, Skylab was launched 40 years ago?Tuesday. The orbital workshop gave NASA its first experience at establishing a long-duration human presence in space, laying the foundation for American astronauts to take up continuous residency almost three decades later on board the International Space Station (ISS).?

On Monday, NASA commemorated four decades of "life off Earth" and the 40th anniversary of Skylab's launch during a roundtable discussion held at its headquarters in Washington, D.C. The event featured Skylab and ISS astronauts, as well as agency managers who are helping to plan the United States' future outposts in space. [Skylab: The First U.S. Space Station (Photos)]?

"When these guys went to the final frontier to stay for a long time, they did it as the first ones, the ones who were entering the unknown and to see what it was going to be like and set the stage for us," said astronaut Kevin Ford, who returned from space in March after commanding the International Space Station's Expedition 34. "It is a pleasure for me to be here on the 40th anniversary."?

Skylab astronauts took this photograph as they approached the orbiting laboratory on the third and final mission in November 1973.

America's first space station?
Three crews of three astronauts each launched to the Skylab space station between May and November 1973. Each mission set a record for the amount of time that crew members spent in space ? Skylab 1 for 28 days, Skylab 2 for 59 days and Skylab 3 for 84 days.?

"It verified the fact that people could live, work?(and) do productive things for long duration, and also took the first steps toward doing the science that we wanted to have aboard," said Owen Garriott, who served as the science pilot for Skylab's second crew.?

That astronauts were even able to spend one day aboard Skylab was a testament to the value of having humans in space.?

Excessive vibrations during the station's Saturn V liftoff resulted in a critical meteoroid shield being ripped off in flight, which in turn took out one of the orbital workshop's two power-providing solar arrays. Flight controllers moved Skylab's secondary solar panels to face the sun to provide as much electricity as possible, but because of the loss of the debris shield this caused the station's interior to heat up to over 125 degrees Fahrenheit (52 degrees Celsius).?

Astronaut Gerald P. Carr, commander for the Skylab 4 mission, jokingly demonstrates weight training in zero-gravity as he balances astronaut William R. Pogue, pilot, upside down on his finger.

The effort to "save Skylab" fell to its first crew, who had to quickly prepare for a series of unexpected spacewalks in the short time they had between the station's launch and their own. Despite the very tight schedule, the astronauts successfully deployed a parasol (later augmented by a solar shield) to lower the temperature inside the station and freed a snagged second solar array.?

Once the workshop was a stable living platform, the three Skylab crews logged about 2,000 hours in total performing scientific and medical experiments. They also took more than 46,000 photos of the Earth and 127,000 photos of the sun, capturing eight solar flares on film.?

The astronauts also devised methods for maximizing their productivity, a lesson with far-reaching applications.?

"We dealt with problems having to do with scheduling and productivity," said Gerald "Jerry" Carr, who commanded the final Skylab crew. "We came to some solutions that worked very well. It took a while to get there ... but those solutions that we came across were used on subsequent missions to some degree."?

"We tried to make sure that got into the planning for the operations aboard the International Space Station and on the (space) shuttle," Carr added.

"I think we're still working that issue," replied Ford. "We've gotten a much better feeling, I think, now that we are up there to do work that the ground can't necessarily figure out how long it is going to take you to do everything."?

The end of Skylab
Upon the end of its crewed missions, Skylab was moved into a stable attitude where it was expected to remain for eight to 10 years. It was hoped that one of the early space shuttle missions could be used to reboost Skylab's orbit to save the station for future use.?

In late 1977, however, four years before the shuttle would first fly, it was discovered that greater-than-predicted solar activity had heated the outer layers of Earth's atmosphere, increasing the drag on Skylab. On July 11, 1979, Skylab re-entered the atmosphere and broke apart over the Indian Ocean. Much of the station burned up or dropped into sea, but its debris field stretched over Australia, where many pieces were later found. [See photos of Skylab's remains in Australia]

Despite its relatively short life span, the use of Skylab's unique environment and vantage point represented a major step in the United States' spaceflight efforts, serving as a bridge between the Apollo missions to the moon and the long-duration expeditions on board the International Space Station, the roundtable said.

"The (International) Space Station was built around what we learned on Skylab," Ford said. "What they put up there for us, the way the modules were sized and the way they were constructed in space ... that all came out of what we learned from Skylab."

"We may have done it first, but these guys are doing it better," added Carr, referencing Ford and the current ISS crews. "People need to continue to do it better and better because we learn more and more as we do this. We just took the first step, and the rest of the steps are having had been taken and are being taken right now."?

Suggestions To Start Competitively Marketing On The Internet ? Hot ...

Successful online marketing can be a goldmine if you approach it wisely. Starting a business online requires a time commitment. Use that time wisely, though, and you can get your business into the black a lot faster. Read the ideas below on what you can do to direct your time while marketing your livelihood.

Words such as ?simple? and ?easy? work very nicely in strategies for Internet marketing. People generally dislike overly complicated things, so adding tags like ?easy to order? and ?easy to use? can entice them to use your product. This is a great way to increase business.

Try to make your ads look unique, instead of traditional and common banner ads. By freshening up your banner ads, you will get more clicks.

Hosting an section on your site where people can create reviews is a powerful marketing tool. When customer?s post their experiences about your products it gets them involved and can be a great selling tool for your products.

You can use online tools to determine the efficiency of your marketing approach; one option is to calculate the percentage of site visitors who ultimately end up making a purchase. The most successful sites use customizable applications that track site statistics like sales and traffic.

Details matter when it comes to your website. Every page on your site should share the same basic headline, including the site name and a little bit of information about it. Often visitors may land on random pages and they need to know who you are and what your site is about.

Business can be done quite anonymously on the internet. This approach is especially useful for small businesses that rely on networking and word of mouth to foster customer loyalty.

Internet marketing does not have a set formula, in reality you can say it is composed of half science and half art. Before you start Internet marketing, do your research about both aspects. With your monetary aspects, try to maintain an analytic approach, but incorporate creativity with your marketing.

Although there are companies that can handle all of your email marketing needs for you, it?s well worth the effort it takes to learn the basics for yourself. There are many fairly easy things you can use, including mass mailers, mailing lists and auto responders. This knowledge will prove invaluable down the line.

If you are part of a smaller business, you undoubtedly know how competitive the online marketplace can be. To stay ahead of the competition, adjust your prices often and take your competition?s prices into account when you do. You can also allow customers access to an online storefront, which features all of your products in a single location.

A good website is crucial to becoming successful with Internet marketing. Be sure to test your website on a regular basis and eliminate bad links, broken graphics or glitches that might show up. Visitors who cannot use your site correctly cannot purchase anything.

Putting yourself in the best position to make a profit is what it?s all about here. Since these tips will help you become successful, do not ignore them. When you play close attention and try hard, you?ll have more customers quickly.
