Jaws dropped at 4:30 p.m. inside MetLife Stadium as the doors of WrestleMania 29 opened and droves of WWE fans were greeted by a 67-foot Lady Liberty and an elaborate set influenced by N.Y. and N.J. icons.
Hours before a spectacular fireworks display from atop a recreated Brooklyn Bridge kicked off The Show of Shows, set designer Jason Robinson gave WWE.com the facts and stats on perhaps the most remarkably crafted grand stage in WrestleMania history.
Watch Mr. McMahon's #BigReveal
At nearly half the size of the true Statue of Liberty (0.42 the scale, to be precise), the centerpiece soaring above the ring weighs in at 17,500 pounds, each square inch illuminated by 687 moving lights, more than 5 million LEDs and the flash of 6,000 pieces of pyrotechnics from five locations, including the Brooklyn Bridge.
?To me, my first inspiration was the Brooklyn Bridge,? Robinson explained, as he rushed from ringside for one final backstage meeting. ?And the Statue of Liberty is it. It?s the centerpiece for us.?
Robinson expressed his elation for his latest masterpiece, which some first saw Friday night via WWE Chairman Vince McMahon?s tweeted ?#BigReveal.?
?Every WrestleMania is fun to design,? he added, ?but this one, once I got into the nitty-gritty of making a bridge and making a statue, was amazing for me as a designer.?
He continued, ?Our biggest challenge was making sure engineering could accomplish everything we wanted. It has been a labor of love of redrawing and reweighting over the last 60 days to get the engineering specs.?
While a warm homecoming for WrestleMania in the N.Y./N.J. area, the threat of Northeast cold climates and the elements challenged Robinson and the production team to develop a weather-proof experience.
?We always worry about snow, or rain and wind every time you?re outside, but this was the only time we had the ?if? of snow because of where we are,? he explained, standing mere feet away from a hall that led to the clear skies and 55-degree air of East Rutherford.
?This was the day I wanted,? a relieved Robinson laughed.

I am having some trouble making this program work the way I want it to. I am supposed to calculate the values inside a text file and put them to an an output text file. The program is reading the file just fine, the only problem is if any of the values are less than or equal to 0, I want the program to output "Invalid Data". Instead, the program continues to read the data that is less than 0. I am wondering if anyone would be so kind as to tell me what I am doing wrong with my code. Please help, I'm such a rookie and I could definitely use some saving.
Thanks,

If you want it to say "Invalid Data" if ANY of the values are less than zero then you have to change your ORs to ANDs:
NEW YORK (AP) ? Young supporters hold signs outside Hillary Rodham Clinton's speeches urging her to run for president. Audiences listen with rapt attention as she discusses the plight of women and girls in developing countries.
Even a long-expected book deal announcement generates lots of chatter.
Not long since Clinton stepped down as President Barack Obama's secretary of state, the "will she or won't she" question already is following her around, like the activists who held dark blue "Ready for Hillary" signs outside speeches at the Kennedy Center in Washington and New York's Lincoln Center.
This past week, Clinton came off a two-month break with a soft roll-out of sorts.
She gave her first two public speeches since leaving the State Department, released details of a book scheduled for June 2014 and plans to join an advisory board of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition.
The mere makings of a public schedule for the runner-up of the 2008 Democratic presidential race is enough to get political tongues wagging over what it all means for the 2016 campaign.
The speeches and news coverage offered an early indication of some of what awaits her as she considers whether to seek the White House again in three years: adoring supporters, young and old, former political advisers to her husband begging her to run, and potential rivals sizing her up.
Tina Brown, editor in chief of Newsweek and the Daily Beast, which sponsored the meeting where Clinton spoke Friday, captured the buzz when introducing her.
"Of course," Brown said, "the big question now about Hillary is, what's next?" That elicited loud cheers, but no answer from the woman beside her on the stage.
Clinton avoided presidential politics, devoting a half-hour speech at the annual Women in the World conference in New York to the status of women across the globe.
Pointing to the U.S., she said America's position as a world leader demands that it devote full attention to empowering women to participate in the economy and society fully. She called for equal pay for women, allowing women to take advantage of family and medical leave from their jobs and encouraging women and girls to pursue careers in math and science.
"This truly is the unfinished business of the 21st century, and it is the work we are called to do," Clinton said. "I look forward to being your partner in all the days and years ahead. Let's keep fighting for opportunity and dignity."
The 65-year-old former first lady has said she has no plans to pursue the White House again but has refrained from ruling anything out. That's the standard disclaimer of people who very often decide to make such plans later, or sometimes don't.
Many Democrats view her as a worthy successor to Obama, with whom she waged a fierce struggle for the party's nomination in 2008. Her popularity soared as secretary of state, although that may have been in part because she cast aside the sharp brand of politics that made her a polarizing figure at times in the past, in favor of diligent diplomacy.
Some Clinton loyalists have tried to lower the speculation, noting that the last presidential election was only six months ago.
But James Carville, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton, signed on with the Ready for Hillary political action committee on Thursday, urging supporters to help lay the groundwork for a Hillary Clinton campaign.
Carville said the "enthusiasm and hunger" for a Hillary Clinton presidency was "unlike anything I've ever seen."
"It isn't worth squat to have the fastest car at the racetrack if there ain't any gas in the tank ? and that's why the work that Ready for Hillary PAC is doing is absolutely critical," Carville said. "We need to convert the hunger that's out there for Hillary's candidacy into a real grassroots organization."
Clinton is not expected to make a decision anytime soon. She has outlined plans to write a memoir about her time at the State Department, advocate on behalf of women and girls, and give speeches. With her book due out in the middle of 2014, she'll have an opportunity to travel the country in the months before the congressional elections.
Her biggest splash was her video announcement in support of gay marriage last month, a move that put her in line with most Democrats. Clinton had limited her comments on domestic policy as secretary of state and her departure has freed her to speak more openly about the issues.
Yet for the first time in 20 years, Clinton's schedule is open-ended.
Her first paid speech will be April 24 in suburban Dallas, a day before she joins her husband, Obama and political luminaries at the dedication of President George W. Bush's presidential library. A second paid speech is set for June 17 in Grand Rapids, Mich.
What remains clear is that until she makes a choice, her every word, appearance and association will be scrutinized ? and that she'll get plenty of encouragement.
About 50 young supporters, including many George Washington University students, gathered outside Clinton's first post-State Department speech at the annual Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards on Tuesday at the Kennedy Center.
About a dozen Hillary backers gathered along Amsterdam Avenue for the New York speech. Aaron James Darr, a 22-year-old actor, held a homemade sign that showed Clinton's image in front of yellow and orange beams and proclaimed "Hillary 2016."
"I've been waiting for five years ? all of us have been waiting for five years," said Darr. He recently formed a Broadway for Hillary 2016 group and said he wants to plan a "flash mob" in Times Square with supporters holding Hillary signs.
Democrats see Clinton in a uniquely powerful spot and are willing to wait ? for now.
"It's the most enviable position to be in because all you have to do is breathe the air every day," said Hank Sheinkopf, a Democratic strategist who advised her husband's presidential campaign. "What political figure has that luxury?"

Word is that iOS 7 will bring a significant design overhaul to Apple's mobile operating system. That's potentially good news, but there's also some bad: The new software might be behind schedule.
According to Daring Fireball's John Gruber? who has a decent track record when it comes to Apple rumors ? "iOS 7 is running behind, and engineers have been pulled from OS X 10.9 to work on it."
ALSOREAD: iOS 7 wishlist: What we want on our iPhones
This isn't the first time we've heard about Apple making a move like this, Gruber reminds. In April 2007, the Cupertino-based company issued a statement revealing that OS X 10.5, better known as Leopard, was delayed because the company had to "borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from [its] Mac OS X team." (The first-generation iPhone was announced in January 2007 and began shipping in late June2007, you might recall.)
Gruber writes that he's been hearing that "iOS engineers with carry privileges all have some sort of polarizing filter on their iPhone displays, such that it greatly decreases viewing angles, thus making it difficult for observers to see the apparently rather significant system-wide UI overhaul."
iMore's Rene Ritchie, another well-informed Apple blogger, previously suggested that the next version of iOS will "make rich-texture-loving designers sad." Gruber write that he's been hearing the same whispers. In plain terms? This means that the next version of iOS could be more "flat" and modern-looking. (Perhaps we can finally wave goodbye to all the skeuomorphism on iOS?)
It's not difficult to believe these latest rumors. After all, who could blame Apple for needing more time to revamp its mobile operating system? And it certainly does need to revamp its mobile operating system. This summer (and fall), all eyes won't be on Apple's hardware. They'll be on its software ? because that's where all the magic needs to happen. Enhanced functionality and a more polished user experience is what we need to see.

Do you store work files on Dropbox?so that you can still access them when you are not at the office? Do you use various cloud storage services so that you can share personal files, images, and videos with friends and family? For end-users and businesses worried about security and privacy on these third-party services, Transporter from Connected Data may be the exact private offline yet online storage they are looking for. Part network-attached-storage and part cloud storage, Transporter offers users remote access to data stored on its drives.
Users on the same network as the Transporter can take advantage of Gigabit Ethernet speeds to access the files. If the Transporter is on a remote network, then the user is restricted to that network's upload and download speeds, but that isn't any different from what you would have with a cloud service. The Transporter is better than a NAS, though, because you can access the Transporter files from anywhere in the world, so long as you have an Internet connection.
However, the key feature for the Transporter isn't its remote access functionality, but the fact that it can communicate with other Transporters. The Transporter maps to a drive on your computer that you can directly navigate to. The desktop management software, Connected Desktop, lets you switch between Transporters and different files. When you want to share your files, you send an invitation asking the recipient to register an account.
What It Looks Like The Transporter is a stylish, not-quite-obelisk-shaped black box, measuring about 3.9 inches x 3.9 inches x 5.52 inches. The case ?looks more like a fancy paperweight or conversation piece for the coffee table than a network-attached-storage device. Weighing less than 2 pounds, the Transporter is very easy to move around.?
A Gigabit Ethernet port and a USB port are built into the base of the unit, and a colored light indicates the Transporter's status. Reddish yellow indicates a problem, such as low disk space or no Internet connection, greenish-blue is normal operation, and flashing blue means it is transferring data.?
Users can buy the Transporter with a 1TB hard drive ($299), with a 2TB hard drive ($399), or without any hard drive at all ($199). The Transporter can take almost any 2.5-inch SATA hard disk drive, including SATA II, SATA-300, SATA 3Gb/s, SATA III, SATA-600, and SATA 6Gb/s drives, as long as it is 160 GB or larger. Users can decide exactly how much storage capacity they need and swap out for larger drives as necessary.
Unlike many of the popular NAS products on the market, the Transporter has only one drive bay, so there is no way to aggregate storage capacity together in a RAID configuration. In this case, the Transporter is more like an external hard drive that happens to be on the network than a true NAS.
However, unlike an external drive, the Transporter can back up its data on another Transporter and restrict who has access to the files. Transporter can store and transfer videos, pictures, documents, and spreadsheets to other Transporters, other computers (with the Connected Desktop management software installed), and iOS devices.
Getting Started Connected Data sent me two Transporters, each one with 1 TB hard drive inside. I plugged the Transporter (from now on to be referred to as the "lab unit") into one of PC Mag'stest networks and created an account on the Transporter Website. Once I registered for an account, I was able to "claim" the Transporter based on the device's serial number. This associated the Transporter with my account.
I set up the second Transporter (the "remote unit") on a different network. At this point, I logged back into my account and claimed the second Transporter as well. I could see both Transporters via Connected Desktop. If a friend had yet another Transporter and granted me access on some of the files on that unit, I would have seen that Transporter listed as well.
As part of the setup process, I installed the Connect Desktop software on my test computer. This is the actual software that allows me to browse the files stored on any of the Transporters I have access to. The software works on Mac OS X 10.7.x and 10.8.x, Windows 7 SP1 for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and Windows 8 for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. While there is an app for iOS versions 5.1.x ?and higher, an Android app is not yet available.
When I want to transfer files or share with other people, I send an invitation through the interface to the user's email address. That person registers for an account, installs the software, and that's it.
Transporting the Data The people you want to share your files with also use Connected Desktop to access the data, even if they aren't on your network.?Next: Accessing the Data on the Transporter
Scotland's first satellite will soon find a home in orbit around the Earth ? a forerunner of things to come under a collaborative, national nanosatellite program in the United Kingdom.
Dubbed UKube-1, the small, novel CubeSat spacecraft has been constructed by Clyde Space in Glasgow and is completing final testing for launch later this year onboard a Russian Soyuz-2 rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The advanced UKube-1 nanosatellite has been designed and manufactured by Clyde Space at their high-tech facility at the West of Scotland Science Park.
The petite but powerful spacecraft is chock full of payloads that include the first GPS device aimed at measuring space weather in Earth's plasmasphere ? the inner-most layer of the planet's magnetosphere. The satellite also comes equipped with a camera that will take pictures of the Earth from space and test the effect of radiation on space hardware using a new generation of imaging sensor and an experiment to demonstrate the feasibility of using cosmic radiation to improve the security of communications satellites and to flight test lower cost electronic systems.
The UKube-1 satellite also totes a payload made up of five experiments that UK students and the public can interact with ? a true "outreach" program into space. [Scotland's First Satellite: What's Inside (Video)]
Small satellite, big mission
A recent visitor to take a look at UKube-1 was Alex Salmond, First Minister of Scotland.
"It's one small satellite for Clyde and a giant leap for their extraterrestrial export business and a new hope for space science in Scotland," Salmond said.
UKube-1 is a UK Space Agency mission. The mission has been funded jointly by Clyde Space and a number of funding partners including the UK Space Agency, the Science and Technology Facilities Council, the Technology Strategy Board and Scottish Enterprise.
As well as the platform and payload elements of the mission, UKube-1 is being supported by three UK ground stations.
"We started designing our nanosatellite platform in 2008 as a means to stimulate some funding from the UK government as part of a national CubeSat program," Craig Clark, chief executive officer of Clyde Space said. Nanosatellites are the fasting growing space sub-sector, with the UK able to tap into both heritage and expertise that primes the pump in building future small satellites, Clark added.
Clark told SPACE.com that there are a number of new developments from Clyde Space on the mission including deployable solar panels ? there are three on UKube-1 ? as well as advanced attitude and control technology, a sophisticated miniature sun sensor and specialized software that other CubeSats can use.
Starting small
There's value in "starting small" as there are many factors that go in to working on a nanosatellite, Clark said.
"I think that the main thing to consider in terms of the differences in building a tiny satellite over a much larger satellite is that both have to work in space and perform very similar functions. Therefore, there is still a massive technical and programmatic challenge in seeing a successful space mission through from start to finish no matter what the size," Clark said. [Satellite Quiz: Do You Know What's Really Up There?]
Clark said that many larger space organizations still look down their noses at nanosatellites as being toys. "But the fact of the matter is that they are staying away from them because they can?t see a business case for themselves in producing CubeSats. Let's face it, a space company with a turn-over of over $1 billion isn't going to be interested in a full mission sale of less than $500,000 ? it would be too much risk for them."?
This is good news for small space companies, Clark said, as they are able to innovate more and are rapidly increasing the utility value of CubeSats. So much so that major space users are now looking to CubeSats and nanosatellites to fill gaps in capturing wanted and valuable data, he said.
Growing competitive market
"The big difference in cost and technical skill when it comes to CubeSats over larger missions is the availability of off-the-shelf subsystems that can be used," Clark said.
Clyde Space has invested significant dollars into UKube-1 as part of their product development strategy, Clark said.
"Our reason for doing this is because we wanted to develop an advanced CubeSat platform that we can then market as a full mission capability for organizations that want to put payloads into space but don't want to have to worry about the satellite itself," Clark said.
It's a growing competitive market, with agencies, military and commercial customers hungry to have an active role in space, Clark said. The bottom line, he added: ?Anyone who puts a satellite into space wants to give the mission the best chance of success. If we are successful in our business plan, UKube-1 will be the first of many more Scottish satellites."
