Volcano Erupts Under Eyjafjallajökull
Words by
Haukur S. Magnússon
Photos by
A volcanic eruption has just begun under the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. This has been verified by local authorities in neighbouring Hvolsvöllur. Vísir reports that farms in the Fljótshlíð area and by Markarhlíð are already being evacuated. Locals in the area have confirmed that they are viewing flames and a steady stream of lava from the glacier.
Eyjafjallajökull is an active central volcano. There is reportedly no recorded history of catastrophic eruptions in the area. The volcano last erupted 189 years ago and apparently caused a lot of ash fall in the area. Although speculation on the subject is pretty much useless (especially since your loving team of Grapevine reporters isn't really comprised of geologists or anything, although we scored pretty well in the subject in high school), folks are saying that besides the ash fall the greatest danger lies in glacier bursts or runs stemming from all that hot hot heat melting the glacier. There might be a bunch of water flooding the area pretty soon.
ANYWAY, this is all moot speculation. What we know at the moment is that a volcanic eruption is indeed occurring under the Eyjafjallajökull glacier, and that lava is really, really hot.
More on this as it develops. Hey, we might even be able to get you some pictures. Stay tuned.
(The photo is of Hekla, a volcano that last erupted in 1999.)

11 posts tagged "Catherine Baba"
Bike Like Baba
"Well, congratulations, New York City!" quipped Catherine Baba over the phone when we told her that the Big Apple had finally embraced Citi Bikes. Paris—her city of residence for almost two decades—launched its wildly popular shared vélo program a whopping six years ago.
As we're sure you've noticed while hopping between shows or browsing Tommy Ton's street-style snaps, cycling is the fashion set's favorite new mode of transport—but coordinating an outfit that's both front-row-worthy and ready to pedal across town is no easy task. Mme. Baba, however, has been doing just that for eighteen years—no doubt you've seen her, riding through the Tuileries in piles of jewelry, skyscraper heels, her signature turban, and, depending on the season, a kimono or a fur coat. (We have to note that she pulls her eccentric ensembles off with an astonishing level of aplomb.) "I get approached in different cities around the world by people who ask me if I'm the lady who rides the bicycle around Paris," offered Baba, who, with her dramatic hand gestures and injections of français, is as Parisienne as they come—albeit by way of Sydney.
"I'm very impatient. I need to move, and waiting for le métro is not an option," Baba told us when asked why cycling is her preferred form of transit. "It's the best way to see the city. And it's also environmentally friendly—the more we can remember that, the better." Here, the singular styliste shares her acquired biking wisdom. Whether pedaling to the shows in Paris or just cruising over the Williamsburg Bridge, we'll be keeping Baba's tips in mind—even though some of her most fantastic suggestions may be mildly ill advised.
Do not pose for street-style bloggers while biking:
"Definitely avoid the photographers. That situation is an accident waiting to happen. Just focus and know where you're going! That's what's important."
Do be a defensive cyclist:
"Defensive, defensive, defensive! You have to have eyes in the back of your head. I am very vigilant, but we can't be responsible for the rest of the world. I have had incidents, but touch wood, nothing serious."
Do dress aerodynamically:
"When I get dressed in the morning, it just happens organically. But there is an element of engineering—let's put it this way: When riding, there needs to be a certain level of aérodynamisme. For Spring/Summer, I love to have my wings, so I wear the kimono, which helps the air circulate. I do a catsuit, too—that's easy. But it depends on my mood."
Maybe wear a helmet, but definitely consider a turban. And accessorize aggressively:
"If you feel more secure with a helmet, then put one on. But the fact is, I haven't myself—I wear a hat instead, purely to avoid the sun. Or a turban always works, darling. I think that's been my look. I also try and wear gloves as much as possible—in winter or summer—for the grip sensation. And of course, you know, j'adore accessories. J'adore."
Do listen to music to get the Baba attitude—at your own risk, of course:
"It's all because of my playlist," she said when asked how to achieve a Baba-esque air. "I always listen to music, which most people have told me is not advisable. But I'd rather hear music than the traffic around me. I love symphonics. It could be anything from David Bowie to disco. It's very eclectic—very me.
Do not bring a practical pair of shoes:
"Are you out of your mind? I do not carry a pair of flats. If I can't walk in the heels, I can't cycle. Voilà. If I can't cycle in the heels, I can't walk in them."
Catherine Baba Promises Her New Jewelry Collection "Will Make Anyone Look Like A Diva"
"It's a fantasy, darling!" sang Catherine Baba, eccentric stylist and tastemaker extraordinaire, from her desk at the Gripoix glass workshop. Tomorrow, Baba will debut her first ever jewelry collection, a collaboration with Maison Gripoix, which, established in 1868, is most famous for its early work with Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent, and Elsa Schiaparelli.
Baba, who's renowned for her styling work with Givenchy, Balmain, Dazed & Confused, and Vanity Fair (just to name a few), her glamorous vintage aesthetic, and her ability to pedal her bike around Paris in sky-high stilettos, has been working on the 12-piece collection since January. "It's been a difficult birth," says Baba, explaining that the jewelry is inspired by her own extensive vintage collection and the Romantic and Decadent periods. The works of Yeats, Oscar Wilde, Lord Byron, and illustrator Aubrey Beardsley are infused in each plated-gold and glass bauble.
"She will make anyone look like a diva," says Baba, gesturing to a blue, red, and absinthe green ("it's the color of the poets' drug") harness-cum-belt she calls the Phoenix. And when the jewelry is worn as intended—that is, piled on—it could make anyone seem like Baba reincarnated. The designer wears her creations just so while gliding around the stone studio, where her Salomé headpiece, named after a work Wilde wrote for Sarah Bernhardt, is being finished with a blowtorch. Her 1920′s silk peignoir, which she describes as her "workwear," is cinched with the collection's winged belt. Peacock-inspired blue earrings dangle around her painted face, and her Dragon pendant, finished with a tassel ("we love a pompom!"), completes her decadent look. Her left hand boasts the Vanity ring, a functional accoutrement that cleverly opens to reveal a mirror. "This collection is for my life. I can't put everything in my little clutch, so it would be nice to wear some of my makeup," she says, pulling out the Venus cuff, which doubles as a powder compact. The Geisha necklace, made of chain-mail gold with a red glass teardrop, also has a function—it's an ever elegant lipstick holder. But Baba, who proudly admits she's designed the collection for herself, asserts, "These pieces are playful but they're not just gadgets. They're couture, darling!"
Will You Go Big With Statement Earrings?
Earrings made a big comeback—"big" in both size and scope—at the Spring shows. Marni's Consuelo Castiglioni led the way, accessorizing her Fall collection with door knocker-sized baubles and making ear candy in the form of mod, colorful hoops a big part of her story this season. Boho glam chandeliers punctuated every look at Oscar de la Renta and Emilio Pucci, while Dolce & Gabbana and Missoni turned up the kitsch factor with garden vegetables and gilded critters, respectively. Needless to say, street-style darlings like Shala Monroque, Anna Dello Russo, and Miroslava Duma kept up with the runways, showing off their jumbo-sized earrings in many a front row. But we've got to give props to stylist Catherine Baba, whose rotating collection of shoulder-scrapers is arguably as signature as her ubiquitous two-speed bike.
CLICK FOR A SLIDESHOW, and let us know if you'll be giving your ears a lift with a pair of statement earrings.
The Doctor (And Her Bags) Are In
For her latest collection, Olympia Le-Tan checked herself into Paris' Museum of the History of Medicine, a nineteenth-century gem tucked upstairs at the Descartes Medical School in Saint-Germain, the site of her presentation Thursday night. It was a telling venue. "People around me were taking strange medications and I sensed a disease vibe in the air," Le-Tan said. So she and her team set to work assembling first-aid-kit carrying cases, and copying classic-edition covers of psychology tomes and the great novels of madness, drugs, and disease, including Wuthering Heights, Mrs. Dalloway, Valley of the Dolls, and Erich Segal's tearjerker, Love Story. She called the collection Still Ill, after a song by her beloved Smiths. But if she lamented the persistence of sickness, she offered a few palliatives, too. There were pillbox clutches of "Brozac" ("Which will help your friends put up with you," she wrote in a collection statement) and "Wiagra" (you can imagine), as well as for Olympia-brand petroleum jelly. And she couldn't resist styling a few syringe hair clips and nurse uniforms her first foray into clothing. (Her sister, Cleo Le-Tan, modeled one.) These were tucked in between the antique scalpels and other strange tools of medicine's past in the museum's display cases as André Saraiva, Olivier Zahm, Garance Doré, and Catherine Baba nibbled Red Cross cupcakes and took each other's temperatures.

River Forest board set to approve ethics bill
After more than a year of debate, Dudek-sponsored bill to be tossed out
By Ben Meyerson
River Forest's village board was set to approve a new ethics ordinance Tuesday night, creating a new set of rules and guidelines to operate under.
But like many issues in the village, it's likely to be a contentious battle. Minority board member Steve Dudek was charged for more than a year with creating an ethics bill. And every few months he would briefly discuss his progress — first in the health and legal committee meetings he headed, then before the board itself this summer.
His efforts to get a bill passed, though, came to a head and failed at the board's last meeting in September. There, he forced the issue, presenting a slightly altered version of the same bill he'd been pushing since the beginning of the process, based off of northwest suburban Park Ridge's lengthy ethics ordinance.
Dudek asked for a straight up-or-down vote on his bill, but was shot down by everyone else on the board, save for Trustee Steve Hoke, Dudek's fellow minority board member.
Instead, the board's majority decided to go with a proposal from Trustee Susan Conti: A simpler, more straightforward set of ethics rules adopted from the town of Wendell, N.C., but which needed to be rewritten with some legalese from a legally unbinding policy into an ordinance.
Tuesday night, Conti's gussied-up ordinance was on the agenda for discussion and vote, and discussions with board members before the meeting suggested that her bill was set to be passed. The meeting occurred after this paper went to press on Tuesday, since it was delayed from Monday because of the Columbus Day holiday.
"As far as I'm concerned, it should be passable as it's written," Conti said in an interview Monday.
She originally suggested the Wendell bill because the Park Ridge ordinance was overly complex. While that was partially a factor of it being a non-binding policy, the village attorney's rewriting of the bill into a legally-binding ordinance hasn't made it less clear, she said.
"The beauty of this bill is that we can all read it and understand it," Conti said. "What has to happen with an ethics ordinance is that the board members and the committee members — as well as the citizens — have to understand what it says, because it applies to them."
But Hoke said he wasn't sold on the new bill, and hoped it wasn't passed Tuesday night.
"If it got rushed through with limited debate, I'd be very disappointed, after ours got held up for two years," Hoke said.
Hoke and Dudek have both said they're hoping to have an ethics ordinance on the books before the end of this year, before the controversial Lake and Lathrop development comes before the board looking for TIF dollars. But it's also important to have the right bill, Hoke said.
"I think it's important that we have something, but I think it's something we have to live with for a long time," he said. "I think we need to spend more time going over it in detail, but my first impression is that it's ethics lite. During the last campaign cycle, everyone said they wanted a stronger bill, and this isn't it."
Trustee Jim Winikates, though, was the only majority trustee on Dudek's legal committee when it was tasked with creating an ethics bill, and has been one of the few trustees to provide feedback on the ordinance at every turn.
Having seen Dudek's set of ethics rules since its inception, he said he likes Conti's bill better.
"I think it's more comprehensive — I think it covers a lot of things that the Steve Dudek version did not," Winikates said Monday. "As a member of the health and legal committee, I don't think it ever got the attention to detail it needed."
And since the bill is shorter and more readable, Winikates said he simply doesn't think Conti's bill needs the same kind of scrutiny that Dudek's longer proposal did.
"It really covers everything in the Steve Dudek ordinance," he said. "It's three pages long. Discussion on something like this tomorrow night, I'm sure can be handled in depth."

Hey Ben Meyerson, did a tingle run up your leg while Susan Conti was proposing her ordinance? Your bias is obvious.

The magic of Auburn's offense
What makes Malzahn's offense so effective, and how Mizzou can defend it
The Auburn Tigers' 2013 Iron Bowl victory over Alabama will be forever remembered for Chris Davis' game-winning 100-yard return of the Crimson Tide's last-second field goal attempt.
But the biggest reason the Tigers were even in position to win the game was the success their offense had against the Bama defense, racking up 393 total yards, including 296 on the ground.
What is it that makes Gus Malzahn's offense at Auburn so difficult to stop? And what chances do the Missouri Tigers have of slowing them down in Saturday's SEC championship game?
Let's take a look.
What makes Auburn's offense so effective?
1. Power, speed ... but not the spread
For starters, let's get this out of the way: Malzahn's offense is not the spread! Far from it, in fact. Malzahn describes his attack as a two-back downhill power rushing attack. Just because the Tigers operate at a lightning-quick pace does not make them a spread team. Most of the game you will see fullback Jay Prosch and tailback Tre Mason in the backfield with quarterback Nick Marshall just before the ball is snapped. There will be many shifts and motions to try to confuse the defense, but the final formation will be some version of two-back.

Sources: Meeting planned for this week
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has plans to meet this week with Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, sources familiar with the situation have told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen.
Sources have told ESPN's Kelly Naqi that District Attorney Fred Bright will announce on Monday that charges will not be brought against Roethlisberger. Bright said in a statement Friday he has reviewed all the investigation reports and is ready to announce his decision.
Milledgeville (Ga.) police Chief Woodrow Blue said Wednesday his department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation had wrapped up their investigation into a 20-year-old college student's claim that Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her early March 5 at a club in Milledgeville.
The league also is awaiting details of police investigation before meeting with Roethlisberger.
It was the second time in a year that Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual misconduct. He also faces a lawsuit filed last July by a woman who says he raped her in 2008 at a Lake Tahoe hotel and casino, an allegation he denies. Roethlisberger has not been criminally charged in either case and has claimed counterdamages in the lawsuit.

- A federal judge in Utah has struck down the state's ban on same-sex marriage.
- On a semi-related note, anti-gay marriage activists believe that they will eventually win this fight: "This may take us years, but in the same way Roe v Wade looked utterly hopeless when it was put forward. But we see now today that the majority of Americans are now pro-life."
- Glenn Beck's political insights are quite remarkable.
- While ostensibly complaining about Phil Robertson's suspension, Breitbart's John Nolte says "bundled cable is the root of too many political and cultural evils to count."
- Bryan Fischer sees the "Duck Dynasty" controversy as a turning point in human history: "Phil Robertson has created a moment of historic opportunity for evangelicals and social conservatives to reverse our cultural slide into sexual deviancy and begin turning our ship of state back toward sexual normalcy."

50/50 Chance
8th October 2012
Two years ago I was the primary caregiver for a family member that was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. She endured a lot over the course of a year, including five surgeries and six rounds of chemotherapy. The day of her first surgery, when her cancer was formally diagnosed, the surgeon came to her room to check on her after surgery and informed us that the cancer had spread. He felt that 10 or 12 lymph nodes were involved and he pompously pronounced that she had a 50/50 chance…
Yoga For Stress/Anxiety Related Insomnia
1st October 2012
Restful and restorative sleep is essential for physical and psychological health. Chronic lack of sleep or lack of refreshing sleep can lead to depression, muscle aches and pains, and impaired physical and mental functioning.
Insomnia frequently occurs if you are worried or if you are feeling so stressed and anxious that it is difficult to relax—subsequently, you lie in bed tired, yet unable to fall asleep. Yoga can be very beneficial for alleviating or minimizing insomnia. With its…

How To Use Social Media To Sex Up Your #B2B Marketing Campaign [INFOGRAPHIC]
Promoting your business to business (B2B) company's products and services on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook has always proven to be a particularly difficult nut to crack, certainly compared to business to consumer (B2C) marketing, where brand after brand has enjoyed the relatively low-hanging fruit, notably in the retail sector.
Here's why: business products are, for the most part, unsexy. And, all too often, they're pitched with an equally unappealing lack of enthusiasm. So what's a B2B marketer to do?
This infographic from Spotlight Communications provides a veritable wealth of information in how to "sex up" your social media B2B marketing campaign, with tips and insights for Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.

NBA gets an 'A' for diversity
ORLANDO, Fla. -- The NBA still leads the way in sports diversity.
The NBA was again the only men's professional sports league to receive a combined "A" for race and gender in the annual report released Wednesday by the University of Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport.
The league had slight decreases for blacks in front-office positions from last year but is still the best among men's pro sports, according to the study.
"I think that our teams go for the best talent and it's a fact that if you don't have the widest possible pool, including women and minorities, then you're not going to have the best talent. And so for us it's quite natural and we're very proud of our teams and their talent search," NBA commissioner David Stern said.
The study shows 77 percent of the NBA players were black, 18 percent white, 3 percent Latino, 1 percent Asian and 1 percent "other." International players, after a steady rise in recent years, stayed steady at 18 percent.
Richard Lapchick, author of the study, said the percentage of international players might deviate slightly in the next few years but has "probably peaked" for now.
Women made up 44 percent of professional employees at the league offices. That increased by one percent from last year, higher than any other men's professional league in any previous study but still below the NBA's high of 49 percent in the 1995-96 season.
There also were 34 women in vice president positions in the league office, an increase of three. And while the league received high marks for gender again, Lapchick said that might be the area the NBA can make the biggest strides.
"I think that the NBA, like the other leagues, has a lot of room for improvement at the senior-level positions of teams for women," Lapchick said. "But it's still better than every other men's pro league."
The report is based on information published in official team guides at the beginning of the 2009-10 season.
Dave Czesniuk, director of operations for Northeastern University's Sport in Society, said the NBA consistently gets the highest marks because Stern has made diversity a priority.
"Other leagues should stop looking at this NBA study as a report card, and start looking at it like a best practices manual," Czesniuk said.
The study shows there were eight black head coaches and one of Asian decent -- Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra -- at the start of the season, a drop of 10 percent for minorities. There were four black team presidents, a decrease of five, but still more than any other sport.
The report found 36 percent of the professional positions at the league office were occupied by minorities, the highest ever for any major pro sport.
Lapchick also credits the high marks the NBA has received to Stern's presence as commissioner, a post he's held since 1984.
"David, I think, made clear to all of his teams that he just wanted the best people hired," Lapchick said. "Not only as players, but as front offices, and he started to set a standard in the league offices as to what teams should do."

The fact that the Tri-State Zoological Park remains open despite the suspension of the roadside zoo's license for chronic, serious violations of the federal Animal Welfare Act illustrates deficiencies in the enforcement of the federal law intended to protect animals ("Tri-State zoo appealing license suspension," Sept. 21 Times-News, Page 1B).
The roadside zoo is challenging the suspension when it should be devoting resources to improving the level of care and complying with the law.
Enforcement actions against a facility by the U.S. Department of Agriculture usually only happen after a long history of citations for violations that is often indicative of pervasive management problems.
An administrative law judge found the roadside zoo guilty of 15 violations, including failure to provide adequate enclosures to prevent the escape of a lion and a tiger; failure to provide sufficient barriers between the public and big cats; and inadequate perimeter fencing around enclosures containing dangerous wild animals.
Other violations significantly affected the health and well-being of the animals. The facility had been cited repeatedly for failure to provide veterinary care to lame animals; for unsanitary enclosures and a filthy pool, enclosures in disrepair, and for excessive rodents and flies.
The administrative law judge made many compelling statements in her ruling, including the fact that the Tri-State zoo is not adequately staffed.
The facility relies on volunteers, who have received little to no formal training, instead of professional caretakers.
All too often, captive wild animals in roadside zoos are kept in grossly substandard conditions.
These attractions may have been popular decades ago, but today there is a much greater understanding of the complex needs of animals such as tigers, lions, bears and primates.
The public should support facilities that are willing to invest in the care of the animals, and those facilities that allow them to exercise and express natural behaviors in a safe environment.
Lisa Wathne, captive wildlife specialist
The Humane Society of the United States
More should be done to protect captive wild animals in zoos

You can hardly tell I cut my hair, I'm sure, though I took off a good 10 cm. Decided to stop being stupid and superstitious about it; my luck is not determined by whether I've cut my hair or not.
bosquetango, blackhellfromabove, and 2 other people added this photo to their favorites.
Well, I'm glad you are in control of it and not following superstitions but your hair looks amazing just the way it is! 10cm trim just gave it more life.
You have wonderful hair, at times a calm auburn but at other times aflame.
This is almost a glamour shot (note euro spelling) -
Your hair is just stunning. It looks lovely like this
Bosque: I've a Samson-esque set of superstitions about my hair, and I was tired of giving in to them. My hair has a life and a mind of its own. I can only guide, never wrangle.
L8: I think it depends upon the lighting and saturation I use, and how much it's sun-bleached--the tone's gone a bit coppery as of late because of the amount of yard work I've been doing. And I used to do a bit of modeling, which comes through in some of my shots if I'm tired because it's an easy default.
Alchemist, DM: Thank you.
lovely...your eyes are quite engaging in this photo, full of intensity...
Unsharp mask goes a long way. ;)
such a beauty – such a great photo …
Thank you matthaeus. That's kind of you.

This probably isn't the best way to become teacher of the year.
A Florida teacher was arrested after deputies busted a party at her home where kids were drinking alcohol and an intoxicated 15-year-old girl was found "passed out" in a bedroom closet, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Antonia Marino, a second-grade teacher, told deputies that she came home to find 40 to 50 kids at her daughter's party and tried to throw them out, the Sentinel reports.
But a teenager contradicted Marino's story, telling deputies that Marino had been at the home the entire time and didn't try to stop the serving of alcohol to minors.

It was a case that rocked the country - a Christchurch nanny who passed police and reference checks only to murder a toddler in her care.
Now, 15 years after Liz Healy was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing 17-month-old Shae Hammond, she may be about to walk free - but the toddler's mother is making a last-ditch plea to keep her child's killer behind bars.
Healy will go before the Parole Board this week to make yet another bid for freedom - her third in nine months.
Shae's mother, Andrea Keats, says Healy must admit her guilt before she is considered for release, and the ongoing hearings brought "everything to the surface".
Healy has maintained her innocence. She never told police what happened that night in January 1997 - only that she had been drinking heavily and found Shae unresponsive in a cot the following morning, the back of her head bashed in.
Shae died in Christchurch Hospital from a severely fractured skull.
The Crown said Shae's injuries could not have been accidental.
The force it took to crack her skull was equivalent to dropping a child headfirst on to concrete from three metres up. Keats fears Healy could harm other children, or worse, kill again.
"Knowing that she could walk free and hurt her [future] grandchildren . . . who's to say she's not going to flip again? A leopard doesn't change its spots."
Healy was denied parole in May last year because she wanted to be released into Christchurch. Keats and her family had objected to her living in the same city.
In its decision, the board also said it "cannot be satisfied" Healy did not present a risk to the safety of the community.
In July, Healy applied for an early hearing, which went ahead in November.
She had since found an alternative release address, understood by Keats to be in the lower North Island, a job, accommodation and had access to a support network.
The board recommended a release and safety plan be drawn up and presented at this week's hearing, but "with no promises as to the outcome".
Keats, now 45, said she felt compelled to speak out as it looked more likely than ever that Healy would be granted parole.
She was 29 when Shae was killed but still remembered every day of her "carefree" and "cute" child's life.
"There's a lot I still don't accept.
"I look at my friends' kids and think what I'm missing out on. I never got to see her go to her first prom, her first day at school, her 2-year-old tanties. It's too much."
While Keats had learned to accept her daughter's death, she could never forgive Healy until she explained "why and how" Shae died.
Keats said Healy had never shown remorse.
Healy played an electronic game during court depositions. She later sent Keats a letter from prison saying she was innocent, Keats said.
The one time Keats visited Healy in prison, she showed her a photo of Shae and asked why she killed her daughter.
"She turned the photo over and put her hand over it."
At the last Parole Board hearing, Keats asked to see a copy of Healy's latest psychological assessment, but it had not been supplied.
"If they can prove to me she has tried to redeem herself in some way, I'd feel different," Keats said.
"I just fear when she does get out, she's left at home a couple of hours with a child, and it all happens again."
Healy was also convicted of poisoning and injuring two other children she cared for.
A 2-year-old suffered extensive bruising to his face and Healy tried to feed a third victim food full of excessive salt.

IDC boosts 2010 smartphone shipment projections by 10%
Debut of iPhone 4, Torch and Evo 4G, coupled with imminent unveiling of new Android phones, prompts more optimistic outlook
Computerworld - IDC today said that Global smartphone shipments will jump by 55% this year compared to 2009, and 10% more than projections it made earlier this year.
The projections were upgraded, IDC said, following the launch of several new smartphones, including the iPhone 4, the BlackBerry Torch and the Evo 4G. In addition, more Android phones are slated for introduction this fall, it added.
All in all, IDC said it expects a "flurry" of smartphone purchases to be completed by year's end.
"The smartphone is the catalyst behind the rebound in the worldwide mobile phone market this year," said Kevin Restivo, an IDC analyst.
Even with strong Android growth in 2010, Restivo predicts that no one smartphone OS will dominate the mobile phone business the way that Microsoft Windows has long dominated the personal computer market. "IDC believes the market will comfortably support up to five OS players over the next five years," he said.
IDC's updated forecast for all of 2010 calls for mobile phone vendors to ship nearly 270 million smartphones, compared to 173.5 million in 2009. For the first half of 2010, vendors shipped 199.4 million smartphones, a 55.5% increase over the same period last year.
Ramon Llamas, an IDC analyst, called Android the "wild card" in the smartphone race. Users have warmed to the OS due to its ease of use and a growing application storefront, he added.
HTC and Motorola have "leapt out in front" of the Android device market, but Llamas expects Dell, Kyocera, LG Electronics and Samsung to be strong as well. Samsung has capitalized on Android with Galaxy S models that are supported by all four major U.S. carriers.
Gartner last month issued a report that listed Android as the top smartphone OS in the U.S. during the second quarter.
Smartphones will boost the overall mobile phone market by 14% in 2010, IDC added. In 2009, the overall market had declined by nearly 3%, which researchers attibuted to the global recession.
In 2011, IDC believes smartphone shipments will increase by 24.5%.
IDC noted that Symbian, which powers Nokia devices, will finish 2010 with 40% of the global market, while BlackBerry holds 18% and Android 16%. Apple's iPhone OS, known as iOS, will have nearly 15%, and Windows Phone 6.8%, the researcher added.
In 2014, Android will grow to nearly 25% market share, while Windows Phone hits nearly 10% as the market share of all the other major OSs decline, IDC said.

Found December 06, 2011 on
Dr. Saturday:
USC might not have a bowl game to look forward to this season, but it's not letting that dampen its spirit.
During the team's football banquet Monday night, athletic director Pat Haden decided to show up dressed like Lane Kiffin complete with the oversized high-collar jacket and signature white beanie. He even had on the receiver gloves. Only thing we can't see is whether he's wearing the red track pants to complete the ensemble, but it's probably a good bet he is. Kiffin wore the outfit the night USC defeated Oregon and ruined the Ducks national title hopes.
While Kiffin took a lot of heat from the fashion police for his white-on-white ensemble, his beanie became one of the hottest selling items in the USC Bookstore. Kiffin actually ended up donating the outfit to the Dan Patrick Show Man Cave.
It's probably been awhile since Kiffin's boss making fun of him was a good thing, but in this case, it seems like it was a good-natured jab and homage to the Tr...

Tinker Bell And The Secret Of The Wings
See all showtimes for all Preston cinemas >>
In the magical realm of Pixie Hollow ruled by Queen Clarion, the animals are preparing to cross into the Winter Woods. Curious about what lurks across the snow-laden border, Tinker Bell defies fairy law to explore the icy wonderland and learns that she has a sister called Periwinkle. After a magical day together, the sisters hatch a plan to smuggle Periwinkle into Pixie Hollow. However, there are major repercussions for their transgressions.
Were it not for the introduction of de rigueur 3D, this fourth computer-animated feature based on JM Barrie's scantily-clad fairy would surely have fluttered straight to DVD. The Secret Of The Wings is lightweight enchantment, which expands Tinker Bell's universe into the magical realm of Winter Woods. The contrast between the colourful flora of Tinker's Nook and this snow-laden new landscape should provide the animators with myriad opportunities for visual invention. Unfortunately, imaginative flourishes are in short supply and the level of detail of the animation on both characters and backgrounds merely adequate. It is especially noticeable during major set pieces when Peggy Holmes and co-director Bobs Gannaway opt for long range aerial shots to capture changing seasons. The plot is as flimsy as one of Tink's wings. In the magical realm of Pixie Hollow ruled by Queen Clarion (voiced by Anjelica Huston), Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman) and her flighty friends busy themselves gathering berries and coaxing flowers to bloom. Fairy Mary (Jane Horrocks) oversees the final shipments of baskets, which snowy owls collect and fly into the Winter Woods. When the time comes for the animals to cross the rubicon, Tink helps Fawn (Angela Bartys) to lead the critters to the checkpoint and watches with envy as the four-legged charges magically sprout winter fur. "There's a whole other world over there," coos Tink, all too aware that she and pals Fawn, Iridessa (Raven-Symone), Rosetta (Megan Hilty) and Silvermist (Lucy Liu) are forbidden from crossing the divide into the kingdom ruled by Lord Milori (Timothy Dalton). Curiosity gets the better of the mischievous fairy and Tink hitches a ride inside the last basket to the Winter Woods. Following a thrilling airborne ride, she lands rudely in a world of snowflakes and glittering beauty. A visit to the Keeper (Jeff Bennett) of the library reveals that Tink has a sister called Periwinkle (Lucy Hale). "Two fairies born of the same laugh!" gasps the Keeper with delight. He helps to conceal Tink from Lord Milori and allows the fairy sisters to spend time together. They hatch a plan to smuggle Periwinkle into Pixie Hollow, unprepared for the repercussions of their actions. If the occasional coo of delight from young girls in the screening is any indication then Tinker Bell And The Secret of The Wings appeals to the target audience. Vocal performances are solid. Whitman is suitably chirpy and Huston and Dalton being gravitas to their roles as the guardians of neighbouring fairy realms. A major plot revelation during the final act is heavily sign-posted. Holmes and co-director Gannaway's sweet yet slight adventure has its heart in the right place. Unlike the fairies, though, the film never gains altitude.
