HTC One faces shipment delays

The handset vendor said today it is pushing back the phone's arrival of preorders in certain markets to the end of the month, with a formalrollout to other markets in April, according to a company representative. HTC told CNET last week that Singapore wouldn't get the One until April.

HTC previously targeted the phone to launch globally this month.

It's another setback for a company that could ill afford another hiccup.HTC has struggled to turn around its flagging profit and sales, and had its hopes pegged to the One to reverse its fortunes.

No reason has been given for the delay, but it could potentially be the complicated process of manufacturing the all-metal frame around the phone. The company told CNET last month that each body takes roughly200minutes to cut and process the front and rear parts of each unit.

HTC is also running into a bad bit of timing, with Samsung Electronics scheduled to show off its GalaxyS4 at an event in New York on Thursday.

Mariah Carey Joins Wardrobe Malfunction Club

MariahCarey, whose breasts were bulging on last night's American Idol show in a strapless dress, was presenting at the So So Def 20th Anniversary Concert in Atlanta over the weekend in another strapless dress, helping celebrate with pal Jermaine Dupri. She tweeted some backstage photos, along with her best wishes to "JD."

Onstage, at the Saturday night event, she raised her hands up a little bit, and her strapless dress slipped down just enough. And now the photo is making the rounds. As E! put it:It was the emancipation of Mariah's little Mimi.

Seahawks acquire Percy Harvin

The Seattle Seahawks have acquired Minnesota Vikings wide receiver PercyHarvin in exchange for multiple draft picks (including a first rounder) pending a physical, a person with knowledge of the transaction told USA TODAY Sports. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the move had not been announced by either team.

Harvin, entering the final year of his rookie contract, gives Seattle and rising sophomore quarterback Russell Wilson another formidable target opposite Sidney Rice.

Vikings general manager Rick Spielman said last month he wouldn't entertain calls about a trade for Harvin, calling him a "dynamicplaymaker."

Los Angeles area jolted by earthquake

Los Angeles area jolted by earthquake. Holly Lawson was working in a campground kiosk at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, about 60 miles south of the epicenter of Monday's earthquake, when the windows in her tiny kiosk began to rattle.

The rolling rumble lasted about six seconds, she said, and she could see a man outside in his truck as it swayed back and forth.

"The truck was actually physically moving," Lawson said.

A San Diego native, she had already guessed the temblor's magnitude by the time the shaking stopped.

"I'm always concerned about these windows when we feel a quake," she said. "We're surrounded by them."

Lawson, who lives in Anza, near the quake's epicenter, got a call from her teenage son soon after, who reported there had been a loud, sudden crack of sound before the shaking began. Their home, which is a manufactured house, had experienced small cracks after a similar earthquake about a year ago, and Monday she told her son to search for damage to the walls, water lines and propane lines.

Meanwhile, campers in nearby RVs came one by one to ask if that had, indeed, been an earthquake "or if they were just going crazy," said Lawson.

MaryAnn McKennon, a volunteer camp host and Idaho native, said she didn't know what was going on at first.

"My first thought was that we've been having some funky winds, and sometimes they blow pretty hard," she said. Soon she saw the truck outside rocking, too.

"I didn't like it at all," said McKennon, who has worked on and off at the campsite for 6 years. "Do you ever get used to them?"

Although some lifelong Southern Californians didn't bat an eye at Monday's quake, it was a different story for Minnesota transplant Shannon Haber. Even though she's lived here since 1996, Haber said, she definitely has not gotten used to earthquakes.

“I was just a little frightened,” Haber said. “There was small shaking and it made me nervous because I’m 23 floors up.”

Haber was working in Los Angeles Unified School District headquarters in Westlake when the earthquake shook at 9:56 a.m. more than 100 miles away in Anza in Riverside County. The shaking was the biggest and longest-lasting she could remember.

“It was a slow, swaying motion,” she said. “It sort of felt like I was on a boat, a sort of wavy feeling that lasted 10 to 20 seconds. … No one else reacted around me. They’re all veterans of earthquakes.”

In Anza, about 10 customers had sat down to a late breakfast at a Diner 371 when the quake struck about 20 miles away.

Nothing was broken and no one was hurt, said Diner 371 waitress Michelle Padaron, 30, who was stocking tables with napkins when the quake struck.

After four seconds of shaking, customers quickly returned to their meals of burgers, burritos and eggs, Padaron said.

"Everyone just kind of looked up, then looked at each other, and that was it," Padaron said.

Chicken Marsala

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter, divided

Cooking spray

1 (8-ounce) package presliced mushrooms

2 tablespoons finely chopped shallots

1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic

4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

1/4 teaspoon salt, divided

1/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth

1/2 cup dry Marsala wine

1/2 cup frozen green peas

2 tablespoons half-and-half

4 cups hot cooked fettuccine (about 8 ounces uncooked pasta)

Preparation

Place 3 tablespoons butter in a small glass measuring cup. Microwave butter at MEDIUM-HIGH 45 seconds or until melted. Let stand 1 minute. Skim foam from surface, and discard. (Mixture will appear separated.) Pour melted butter through a fine sieve over a small bowl, and discard the milk solids. Set the clarified butter aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat; add mushrooms, shallots, and garlic. Cook 3 minutes or until moisture evaporates; remove mushroom mixture from pan. Set aside.
Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to a 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle both sides of chicken with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish; dredge chicken breast halves in flour.
Add clarified butter to pan, and place over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook 3 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove chicken from pan. Return mushroom mixture to pan; add broth and Marsala, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes or until reduced to 1 cup. Stir in peas; cook 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon butter, half-and-half, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper, stirring until butter melts. Return chicken to pan; cook until thoroughly heated. Serve chicken and sauce over pasta.
