Obama to be Sworn in as 44th US President
Inauguration Day has arrived in Washington, D.C. At noon, Barack Obama will take the oath of office using president Abraham Lincoln's inaugural Bible during the swearing-in ceremony on the steps of the US Capitol.
Record Crowds Expected in Washington, D.C.
Millions of people have descended on Washington to watch Obama become the nation's first African American president and to mark the end of the Bush administration. Authorities are preparing for what could be the largest crowd in Washington's history. People began lining up near the Mall today hours before sunrise. Celebrations are also being held across the country and the world today.
Obama: I Will Take Your Voices into the Oval Office
On Sunday, Obama spoke before over 400,000 people from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during a star-studded concert.
Barack Obama: "As I prepare to assume the presidency, yours are the voices I will take with me every day when I walk into that Oval Office, the voices of men and women who have different stories but hold common hopes, who ask only for what was promised us as Americans: that we might make of our lives what we will and see our children climb higher than we did."
Obama & Biden Ride Train to Washington
The official inaugural festivities began on Saturday when Barack Obama and his vice president Joseph Biden traveled to Washington on a whistle stop train ride with stops in Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore. Vice President-elect Biden spoke in Wilmington, Delaware.
Vice President-elect Biden: "Folks, this is more than an ordinary train ride. This is a new beginning. In our most difficult nation — most difficult moments, our nation has always chosen a leader the times demand. And I believe that's why this nation has turned to Barack Obama. It's turned to Barack to bring hope back to the nation and the change we so desperately need. My fellow Delawareans, the next president of the United States of America, Barack Obama."
This morning, Barack Obama and Joe Biden will have coffee at the White House with outgoing President George Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. Cheney will be spending the day in a wheelchair, because he pulled a muscle in his back on Monday while moving boxes.
Report: Inauguration to Cost $170 Million
ABC News reports the total cost of the inauguration will be at least $170 million. Part of the money has come from prominent Wall Street executives from Citigroup, Lehman Brothers, UBS Americas, Goldman Sachs, Wachovia, who bundled large donations for the inauguration.
Israel Declares Unilateral Ceasefire After 22-Day Attack on Gaza
In other news, Israel declared a unilateral ceasefire on Saturday, ending a twenty-two-day assault on Gaza that killed more than 1,300 Palestinians, most of them civilians and at least one-third children. Hamas followed with a declaration of a one-week ceasefire until Israel withdraws all its troops. Thirteen Israelis died during the twenty-two-day war, including four Israeli soldiers by friendly fire. Israel called off its attack after the Bush administration signed a deal promising increased US cooperation in halting arms smuggling into Gaza. The incoming Obama administration also backed the agreement.
4,000 Palestinian Homes Destroyed
The damage to Gaza's infrastructure is estimated in the billions. More than 4,000 homes have been destroyed. At least 400,000 people are still without running water.
Palestinian Woman: "All our homes have been destroyed. Even this little boy does not have a home. What is his fault? Look at him. What do they want from us? Our houses? Why do they want to destroy them? Why do they destroy our homes?"
Israel Bombs Another UN School, Two Boys Killed
Hours before the Israeli cabinet announced its ceasefire Saturday night, Israeli forces bombed another UN school used as a shelter for Palestinian civilians. Two boys were killed. Their mother was badly wounded, with the attack blowing off both her legs. It was the fourth Israeli bombing of a UN school in the three-week assault.
Doctor: Israel Destroyed Warehouses of Medical Supplies
Over the weekend, a Greek doctor in Gaza named Kostas Konstantinidis accused Israel of destroying warehouses of medical supplies.
Dr. Kostas Konstantinidis: "Even the humanitarian aid is bombarded by the Israeli air force. They are destroying the warehouses where we keep the medical and all the pharmaceutical containers. Even those things, they are bombarding them. They are bombarding hospitals. They are bombarding everything. Even in the borders, where there are these kind of tunnels and they are suspecting that probably we can pass from there some humanitarian aid, they are bombing with these special bombs that bring these earthquakes."
Mitchell Expected to be Named Middle East Envoy
In related news, in one of his first official actions as president, Barack Obama is expected to name former senator George Mitchell as his Middle East envoy.
Bush Commutes Sentences of Two Border Patrol Agents
In his final full day in office, President Bush commuted the prison sentences of two former Border Patrol agents who shot an unarmed Mexican drug smuggler and then tried to cover up the shooting. The agents, Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean, never reported the shooting and tampered with evidence. They had served two years in jail. Bush technically has until noon today to issue more pardons, but presidential advisers said no more were forthcoming. Many conservatives are criticizing Bush for not pardoning Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff Scooter Libby for his role in the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity. Former Republican Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens was also seeking a pardon. Stevens was convicted last year of corruption charges.
World Court Rules US Execution of Mexican Broke International Law
The International Court of Justice has ruled the execution of a Mexican national in Texas last year breached US obligations under international law. The dispute between Mexico and the US dates back to 2004, when Mexico accused the United States of not informing fifty-one Mexican citizens on death row of their right to consular assistance. Last year, the state of Texas executed a Mexican national despite an order by the World Court to halt the execution.
Report: US Airways Flight Had Engine Trouble Days Prior to Crash
CNN is reporting that two days before US Airways Flight 1549 crashed into the Hudson River, passengers on the same route and same aircraft say they heard a series of loud bangs and the flight crew told them they could have to make an emergency landing. One passenger said the incident last Tuesday sounded like the wing was just snapping off. US Airways declined to comment on the plane's history. CNN's report raises questions about the cause of last week's crash. The US Airways pilot has said the plane lost its engines after it hit a flock of birds ninety seconds into the flight.
FMLN in El Salvador Claims Victory in Legislative Poll
In El Salvador, the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front, or FMLN, has claimed victory in legislative polls, ending decades of right-wing control of the Salvadoran Parliament. The former leftist guerrillas won 46 percent of the vote over the right-wing National Republican Alliance ARENA party. El Salvador's presidential election is set for March 15. FMLN's candidate, Mauricio Funes, is expected to win.
Prominent Russian Human Rights Attorney Assassinated
In Russia, a prominent human rights lawyer was assassinated on Monday, days after he protested the release of the highest-ranking Russian officer convicted of atrocities in the Chechen war. The attorney, Stanislav Markelov, was the director of the Rule of Law Institute, a civil liberties group. He had represented many labor unions, environmental groups and journalists, including Anna Politkovskaya, who was assassinated in 2006. A twenty-five-year-old journalist who was with Markelov was also shot dead.
Public Infrastructure Advocates Criticize Stimulus Plan
The New York Times reports the House economic stimulus plan has disappointed advocates for the nation's long-neglected infrastructure. On Thursday, a $825 billion stimulus plan was introduced. Less than one-third of the plan would go to infrastructure, and much of that would go to high-tech projects rather than traditional concrete-and-steel building and repair work. Although the American Society of Civil Engineers estimates that $1.6 trillion is needed to improve the nation's crumbling infrastructure, the proposal only calls for spending $30 billion on roads and only $10 billion on transit and rail.
Mississippi Newspaper Apologizes for Civil Rights Coverage
In Mississippi, the Meridian Star newspaper has published an apology for its past coverage of civil rights issues. An editorial read, in part, "There was a time when this newspaper —– and many others across the south -— acted with gross neglect by largely ignoring the unfairness of segregated schools, buses, restaurants, washrooms, theaters and other public places. We did it through omission, by not recording for our readers many of the most important civil rights activities that happened in our midst, including protests and sit-ins. That was wrong. We should have loudly protested segregation and the efforts to block voter registration of black East Mississippians." The editorial was published on Sunday, one day before the Martin Luther King Day holiday and two days before the inauguration of Barack Obama as America's first black president.
Judge Suspends Lease of 100,000 Acres of Public Land in Utah
A federal judge has suspended the Bush administration's last-minute attempt to lease more than 100,000 acres of land near national parks in Utah for oil and gas drilling. Judge Ricardo Urbina ruled the Bureau of Land Management had not carried out sufficient study of the impact of drilling near the Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and the Dinosaur National Monument. Environmentalists had condemned the auction. One University of Utah student, Tim DeChristopher, had disrupted the auction by posing as a bidder. He ended up buying the rights to twelve parcels of land totaling 22,000 acres.
Circuit City to Close Remaining 567 Stores; 34,000 to Lose Jobs
And in economic news, Circuit City has announced plans to shut down its remaining 567 stores. 34,000 workers are set to lose their jobs. Circuit City was the nation's second-largest electronics retailer after Best Buy. Meanwhile, the Financial Times reports Bank of America could soon eliminate up to 4,000 more jobs.

A massive people's climate movement against extracting some of the dirtiest oil on the planet had prevailed ... at least for now.

Magda and Hans were helpful above and beyond all expectations. Bruges is a city that everyone should visit and the bonobo apart hotel made the experience that much more rewarding. The location is perfect, the hotel is clean and the staff was magnificent. It is no surprise that this hotel had a 9.5 rating.
The owners are wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. The apartment is spacious and clean.
We especially liked the friendliness of the owners. The self-catering accommodation was stylish and simple yet well equipped.
Location, cleanliness
Location is great. Kitchen facilities are enough to cook your own food. The apart is totally clean, but a bit smelly.
Although we booked a double bed, they preaped it with two matresses, which is not comfortable.
Price, location view. Definitely the best value for money. Location benefits from both being close to the train station, and is very easy to get to and from. The city centre is only 5min walk away. The hotel is on a quite street so not noisy at all. We had a terrace apartment. Even though it was november and we couldn't use the terrace to have a drink due to cold weather outside, it was still nice in terms of an easy and convenient access to the room. The kitchen offered all the necessary things, (quite basic, but enough to fulfil all our needs). The bed in the bedroom was very comfortable and we had a very good sleep. There is a mosquito net on the window which was good. There are mosquitos around even in autumn, as there are a lot of canals around. Overall we were very happy with our choice, and will definitely stay there again, hopefully soon.
Even though the heating could be regulated perfectly, and the rooms got warm quickly, the floor in the bedroom was quite cold in the morning - a small carpet would be nice just to stand on while getting dressed. A bit too grey and white everywhere. But it's just a matter of taste and very minor things to worry about too much.
We had booked a standard double room but on arrival we were upgraded to a lovely double room with a terrace. The room was at the rear of the property and was very quiet. The staff were very helpful offering advice and maps and guide books to borrow. We would recommend this hotel to friends.
We stayed in an apartment that was spacious, well-equipped, centrally located and very clean. The kitchenette had all you need to prepare breakfast or light meals. Would definitely book there again & highly recommend it. Easy walk from the train station & the apartment was within walking distance of groceries, boulangerie, restaurants and bars. Hans & Magda were lovely hosts.
We loved everything about it. One of the best we have ever stayed at. Great hosts - very helpful. Would stay there again.
Nothing. Couldn't be faulted in my opinion.
Excellent location and hosts. Just a great place to stay.
The hotel, it's location and room facilities were top of the range. The apartment was tailor made for a long or short stay with extra large lounge room and separate bedroom and bathroom. A perfectly appointed kitchen with all amenities. Location second to none with the best of Bruge right on the doorstep.
There is nothing to fault this hotel.
Owners we're extremely friendly and helpful. Rooms we're very spacious and clean. Location was excellent!
Everything was exactly as described, we had a lovely break apartment was great in every way.
Apartment was great, very clean, very spacious and very comfortable. Hans was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would definitely come back to Brugge and definitely to the Bonobo.
everything. -location (behind the beautiful cathedral?? 5 minutes to Carfur, 10 minutes to central square) -Cleanness and well equipped facilities -romantic windows on the ceiling -big bath room with a big window (fresh air) -good view (cathedral) -3 minutes to the pier for boat tour by walk. -nice staffs I will visit there again with my family.
absolutely nothing. if you have a heavy luggage, you can use a small lift. stairs can be dangerous for older people. but i love even this stair.
But a little hard to find especially when some roads are closed off. Our apartment was very spacious and comfortable. On site parking a huge plus if driving.
1 euro charge for small cup of coffee in the morning a little disappointing...
Room sizes, kitchen facilities, beds very comfortable, location, gated carpark, outside courtyard, peace and quiet.Lovely welcome by Evan with lots of valuable information. Ordered us a taxi for our departure, which arrived on time! Love this place!
Absolutely nothing!!!!
Fantastic location, friendly owners, wonderful apartment, very comfortable accommodation. Can't fault it and will definitely be returning.
Lovely hosts - friendly, welcoming and helpful
Great location, close to train station and to the centre, easy walk to the market places, supermarkets. Facilities great, parking ($), lift and garden terrace for smokers.
It was exactly what we wanted- clean, comfortable, right in the centre of town. Hans was extremely helpful and the information given on recommended restaurants etc was perfect.
Excellent location close to central attractions. Snug self-catering apartment for two with pleasant garden and secure parking.Helpful host. Breakfast and basic drinks etc available. Host provides good list of restaurants etc.
Challenging to find for old buffer with no sat nav!
The staff are brilliant; very helpful and prompt. Two of the single beds are sofa beds in the lounge/kitchen area but were comfortable. Had a lovely stay with my kids and mother and would certainly consider booking again
This is a great location if you have a family and need convenience not offered my a standard hotel. Hans and Magda are great accomodating hosts.

Ferrell has made a name for himself by being clueless. Not just by playing clueless with a wink and a nod, but by actually somehow embodying it, whether as a sweet-souled North Pole exile or as a chauvinistic, empty-headed San Diego news celebrity. His bewilderment is always beautifully delivered, so wonderfully all-encompassing that the intelligence and craft behind it can't help but subtly shine through. It's the difference between being a Jim Carrey and being a Peter Sellers, between being a clown and becoming a clown prince.
When a comedian can walk that fine line, quotable classics like Anchorman and Talladega Nights are created. And even slightly lesser efforts like Blades of Glory still skate to enough mojo moments to make the hour-and-a-half investment worthwhile.
Blades of Glory, written by newcomers Jeff and Craig Cox with the delightfully named actress Busy Philipps (Dawson's Creek) and assists from King of the Hill's Jon Altschuler and Dave Krinsky, is essentially based on the insight that figure-skating is funny and that men's figure-skating is funnier. But thankfully, Blades doesn't just zero in on the obvious, like the eccentric athletes and the Vegas wardrobes. Oh, it lets them have it something good, but the movie's ridicule also goes after the operatic, nonsense commentary and the cheesy television sports profiles (right down to bubble-filled, neon-lit portrait shots) and even the odd mascots and costumes of a world sports celebration. And that's just the setting.
Blades introduces its professional-athlete protagonists as though the movie audience is watching an episode of Wide World of Sports. We experience a peacock performance from golden-curled golden boy Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) and are filled in on his orphan-to-Olympics backstory; bad boy Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) follows with a sexed-up free skate, accompanied by his own preening personal profile. The two rivals tie in this particular competition and are forced to share the gold medal. Their jockeying for position on the podium creates chaos, a fistfight leading to the accidental immolation of the event's furry mascot and a lifetime ban from the sport for both.
After embarrassing interludes in the real world ' MacElroy sells skates to spoiled brats and stocks shelves, a drunken Michaels headlines a kids fairy-tale show called Grublets on Ice ' the former competitors discover a loophole. They can compete again, just not as singles. With no time to find female partners before the next big competition, the two are reluctantly convinced to skate together. And so the history-making, hilarious pairing of MacElroy and Michaels is born. Can they overcome their personal animosities and issues to work together? Can they legitimately compete against pairs paragons Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg (real-life husband-and-wife team Will Arnett and Amy Poehler doing their outrageously evil best)? Can this scenario possibly stay funny for more than 15 minutes?
The answer to all is, of course, yes. Heder may never completely shake his Napoleon Dynamite persona, but his naïve, sappy-sweet Jimmy rolls along quite ably with his frenetic costar, receiving many laughs if genuinely creating only a few. Poehler and particularly Arnett (Arrested Development) are underused; Poehler sneers her way through her ice-princess persona, while Arnett perfectly deadpans her evil-non-genius brother. But the film is all Ferrell's, as so often happens when he unleashes his intense inanity.
Like Ron Burgundy and Ricky Bobby before him, Chazz Michaels is ignorant, belligerent and occasionally grotesque. He's arrogant, confrontational and kind of disgusting. And yet, he's infinitely likeable because Ferrell plays him so that he doesn't know how awful he is, and that makes his awfulness quite frequently more hilarious. Ferrell could do this character in his sleep these days, but much like the stupid/smart yin and yang of Mike Myers' Austin Powers/Dr. Evil shtick, it has yet to grow old.
The script of Blades of Glory is thinner than that of Anchorman or Talladega Nights, but ultimately, that doesn't matter much because Blades manages to be just plain fun. In skate speak, that means flawed technique, but perfect presentation. A real crowd-pleaser.
NOV 26 Zach Kopplin, who we came to know and love when he was a Louisiana high school student lobbying for the continued inclusion of science stuff in science class, pens this post in The Atlantic about a "textbook" available for social studies instruction in Texas that discusses how Moses contributed to the Constitution. (Oy! Texas rednecks love Jews. Who knew?)
NOV 26 Finally, mad people on the interwebz is a good thing! World wide webby outrage has caused the village of Moreauville to reverse its plan to confiscate pit bulls and Rottweillers and euthanize them simply because of their breed, WAFB reports here. The plan? They're going to enforce the leash law. Well, that would have been a good place to start.
NOV 26 Jim Brown, like many of us Louisiana voters, seems fed up with out of town know-it-alls trying to tell us what to do. Bill Cassidy can't make it through the day without flying someone in to "tell us political retards" how to vote, he says.
NOV 26 Blogger Tom Aswell is writing about the behavior of the two finalists in the 6th Congressional District race: Edwin Edwards and Garret Graves. Edwards has come out swinging, but Graves' campaign seems bent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Tom says.
NOV 26 Blogger CB Forgotston is confused, he says, because Governor Bobby Jindal said higher education wouldn't get cut, but it looks like it is being cut. CB's asking: When is a cut not a cut?
NOV 26 Unless you're in Virigina, you shouldn't count on seeing our Governor on Election Day. Mark Ballard writes in the Advocate's political blog that Bobby will be appearing at a GOP love fest of some kind there, instead of spending the day here.
NOV 26 This post on The Lens takes a look at the ongoing dispute in New Orleans over the banners about the upcoming tax election for the school system. The banners are hanging on schools, and some feel they are promotional, which is not allowed, instead of educational - which is allowed.
NOV 26 Not all college students are focused on football games and parties at this time of year. This post on DIG Baton Rouge recounts an LSU student group that tries to make sure that those who are hungry and homeless are not forgotten by those of us who aren't.
NOV 25 Edwin Edwards took off the gloves on Monday, this post on WAFB tells us. At a Press Club appearance, he wondered how his 6th Congressional District opponent, Garret Graves, could be an expert in all the areas in which he claims to be - when he has no college degree in anything. (Five years - FIVE YEARS - in college, but no degree. Huh?)
NOV 25 Blogger Mike Deshotels offers this primer on predatory charter schools and how they operate, specifically in Louisiana. They're not just profiting from our tax dollars, they're using children and shortchanging them to do so, Deshotels says.
NOV 25 Here's a link to the petition that has been created to save Zeus, a family dog who is targeted for death by the learned fathers of the Avoyelles Parish village of Moreauville. They passed an ordinance based on nothing that outlaws pit bulls and Rotweillers. As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 230,000 signatures - a number that's a wee bit higher than the village population of 929.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Review: Kingston SSDNow E100 100GB Enterprise SSD
Welcome to Myce's review of the Kingston SSDNow E100 SATA Enterprise SSD.
The Kingston E100 can be described as a mainstream enterprise solution. It packages together 128GB of 32nm Toshiba Toggle NAND (with 28GB set aside for use by the controller) and an LSI Sandforce SF-2582 controller.
LSI Sandforce controllers, or Flash Storage Processors ('FSPs') as LSI Sandforce prefers to call them, have been hugely successful and are used by many SSD manufacturers. I remember well my first experience with a Sandforce FSP which was a few years ago, with an OCZ Vertex LE with a 3Gb/s, first generation, SF controller. As a member of the OCZ Support forum it was a lot of fun trying to figure out how the drive behaved.
The LSI Sandforce FSPs have a special capability – they can, where possible, compress data before it is written to NAND. As this is the first LSI Sandforce Enterprise drive we have reviewed we look at what makes them special on Page 3 below.
Market Positioning and Specification
Market Positioning
This is how Kingston positions the E100 -
Here is Kingston's specification for the E100 (taken directly from Kingston's E100 Data Sheet) -
Please note that all the performance figures are for a drive in a 'Fresh Out of the Box', 'FOB' state, which I feel is not at all helpful for an enterprise drive as enterprise drives should be tested and measured in steady state conditions.
The Toshiba toggle NAND used by the E100 is, I understand, good for 30,000 Program/Erase Cycles.

Grant Hanley
A goal in each half saw the Scots do the double over the Croats to follow up their 1-0 win in Zagreb back in June with a 2-0 score line on home soil on Tuesday night.
"To get a clean sheet at home to Croatia and to win 2-0 speaks for itself really," said Hanley after the game.
"We are pleased with our night, it is a good result and a good end to the campaign. We can look forward to what comes now."
Scotland opened the scoring on 28 minutes, Robert Snodgrass heading home Charlie Mulgrew's cross from the left.
They drew confidence from that and added a deserved second after 73 minutes, Steven Naismith following up after Barry Bannan's penalty had been saved.
Hanley played the full match for the Scots and for an hour he was up against a familiar opponent in former Rover Nikola Kalinic.
The striker was one of the livelier forwards for the visitors, but was well shackled by the Scotland defence.
"Niko was in the first team just as I was coming up through the Ressies," added the defender.
"He's a good lad Niko so it was nice to see him again."
Scotland's first home win in Group A ensured they finished above Wales in fourth place.
Elsewhere, Rovers await news of an injury to Corry Evans in Northern Ireland's 1-1 draw with Israel.
The midfielder started the match in Tel Aviv but limped off after 24 minutes following a heavy collision.

Tavistock woman dies at National Diving Centre
A woman from Devon has died and a man, also from Devon, was airlifted to hospital with breathing difficulties during a training session at the National Diving and Activity Centre.
The two friends were diving with a second woman when they got into difficulties at the 260-ft deep former quarry in Gloucestershire.
The 30 year old woman from Tavistock suffered a cardiac arrest and was pulled unconscious from the water. Paramedics were unable to save her and she died later in hospital.
A man was flown by air ambulance to a specialist decompression unit at a hospital in Plymouth.
Police said they are not treating the incident as suspicious and it has been referred to the Health and Safety Executive.
Police are investigating the death of a female diver at the National Diving Centre, Chepstow, over the weekend. Police were called just before midday on Saturday after an incident involving a woman and man from Devon who were diving with an instructor. The woman died at the scene, the man was taken to a decompression unit in Plymouth. Officers are working with the Health and Safety Executive to investigate this unexplained death but it's believed not to be suspicious.

Today's football results
Yeovil Town have slipped to the bottom League One after losing 1-0 at home to Fleetwood. Jeff Hughes scored the only goal of the game three minutes from time.
Plymouth Argyle are up to fourth in League Two after a comfortable 3-0 win over Portsmouth. All the goals came in the first half with Reuben Reid scoring on either side of a Lewis Alessandra strike.
Exeter City travel to Newport County tomorrow (3pm kick-off).
In the Conference, Torquay United and Forest Green Rovers shared the points in a thrilling 3-3 draw at Plainmoor, with the hosts throwing away a two-goal advantage.
Ryan Bowman and Toby Ajala gave the Gulls a 2-0 lead after just 20 minutes. Kurtis Guthrie headed a goal back for Rovers shortly before half-time.
Midway through the second half Ajala restored the two-goal cushion, but two goals in four minutes from James Norwood and Guthrie earned Rovers a share of the points.
Seventh home win in a row for Argyle
Plymouth Argyle have moved up to fourth in League Two after a comfortable win in the 'Dockside Derby' over Portsmouth.
There was early excitement at Home Park. Lewis Alessandra was brought down in the box in the sixth minute, and Reuben Reid confidently scored from the spot.
Fifteen minutes later the advantage was doubled. Kelvin Mellor teeing up Alessandra for a clincal finish.
And it was soon 3-0 as Portsmouth couldn't cope with Argyle's attacking prowess. Mellor the provider once again, this time settting up Reid for his second of the game.
No more goals in the second half, but the Pilgrims did come close. Lee Cox hit the cross bar. Deane Smalley saw his shot saved by former Exeter City goalkeeper Paul Jones. And Jones denied Smalley again when he tipped the substitute's shot onto the post.
Cricketer Nick Compton to leave Somerset
Somerset County Cricket Club has announced that Nick Compton is to leave the club by mutual agreement.
We would like to acknowledge the contribution Nick has made to Somerset CCC during his five years with the Club.
He will be missed and we are disappointed he has decided to leave. He departs with our very best wishes for the future and with our thanks for his outstanding contributions on and off the field.
I am sorry to see Nick depart as he is a quality cricketer but it is fundamentally important that he, or any player for that matter, wants to be here and is able to perform to the best of their ability; sadly this is not something Nick feels able to achieve at this time.
Nick Compton will leave straight away and says he wants to base himself closer to home in London. It is thought he may return to play for his former county, Middlesex.
I have loved playing for Somerset, but I have decided to re-locate more permanently to my base in South-West London. I have always set myself the highest of professional standards, and I don't want to compromise myself or the club, going forward.
I appreciate Somerset's understanding of my wish to balance both my personal and professional life. The club will always have a special place in my heart and I owe Brian Rose a huge debt of gratitude for the privileged opportunity he gave me to become a Somerset cricketer, which in turn has enabled me to fulfil a number of cricketing goals.
Thanks to everybody who has made me so welcome in the last five years. I have been part of some exceptional teams, experienced the warmth of Somerset's amazing supporters who make it such a great club to play for, and wish everybody connected with Somerset Cricket continued success.

He comes to the girl's apartment some afternoons to play killing games, posing her as a variety of homicide victims and snapping her photograph. The games were probably her idea, in the beginning. She called him anonymously on the telephone for many days before he had the calls traced and visited her. He is a martinet, a sadist, a bully. She is a masochist, but with her it's a game and she probably didn't expect him to cut her throat.
The murder takes place on his last day as chief of homicide; he has been promoted to head the political branch, with responsibility for spying on subversives. He takes leave of his old job very carefully, littering her apartment with fingerprints, footprints, dozens of clues. Then he helps his successor investigate the crime.
He has a compulsion to discover just how powerful he really is. He worships authority, especially his own, and like many authoritarian personalities, he has a secret dread of impotence. She hasn't helped any, with her taunts and teasing; that's why he killed her, because she ridiculed him and made love with the young radical student from downstairs. Now he will prove her wrong; he will prove himself so powerful that he is literally "above suspicion." Even though every clue points to him, the police will refuse to touch him. That is his fantasy.
Elio Petri's "Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion" tells this story with a clever mixture of psychology and suspense, burrowing into the inspector's paranoia while it rushes headlong into the investigation (something like "Z"). Gian Maria Volonte plays the inspector just as he needs to be played: strutting before inferiors, cringing before superiors, vulnerable beneath his cruelty.
The investigation itself is on the level of game-playing; when the detectives get the wrong suspects and follow the wrong clues, he slips them a few hints to get them back on his path. Although Petri's style is different this time, this notion of crime as a game reminds us of his brilliant film "The Tenth Victim" (1965). His story then was set in the future, when human life has become so secure and boring that people voluntarily became murderers and victims, just to have some excitement. The killers were professional athletes, in a way; if you could kill ten victims and remain alive, you were retired as a hero.
In both films, the act of killing is closely associated with the hero's voluntary willingness to become a victim, a prey. This may have something to do with Petri's own hang-ups; like all good directors who make films about their own obsessions, Petri transmits an obsessive feeling in the film itself. "Investigation of a Citizen" is stylistically disconnected, but it works because it is absolutely fascinated with the nature of the inspector.
Petri's left-wing, politics have led to the film's major weakness -- its one-to-one equation of police authority and fascism. The inspector has a passionate speech, for example in which he totally identifies liberalism with sexual deviation; this is too simpleminded and obvious to work, and we're irritated with Petri for not being more original. But setting such things aside, and seeing "Investigation" simply as a study of personality, we very quickly find ourselves involved.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Plymouth To Replace USplash In Ubuntu?
Published on 28 November 2008 06:00 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
30 Comments
We've talked about Plymouth now a number of times at Phoronix, which is
Red Hat's RHGB replacement
starting with
Fedora 10
and uses newer Linux technologies like
kernel mode-setting
to drive this graphical boot screen. As we shared in our
detailed analysis of Plymouth
it also offers a number of plug-ins and APIs for creating some fairly unique visuals. Now it looks like Plymouth may make its way into Ubuntu.
There is now a
Launchpad specification
to evaluate Plymouth for Ubuntu and potentially use it to replacement the current USplash project. Canonical's Matthew Paul Thomas confirmed on the
developer mailing list
that Plymouth will also be discussed at the Ubuntu Developer Summit taking place in early December.
It certainly would be interesting if they switched to Plymouth in Ubuntu. If they did so in time for
Ubuntu 9.04
it would mandate they use at least the
Linux 2.6.29 kernel
in order to have the needed
kernel mode-setting support
. Right now Fedora 10 is the only distribution shipping Plymouth. To see what Plymouth looks like, check out
our Plymouth video

Search warrant reveals new details in homicide that occurred on Hempstead Lane
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Search warrants for the home of a correctional officer that was killed reveal new details.
READ RELATED | Bakersfield police investigating homicide in southwest
In one of the warrants, police say they think the victim answered a late night knock on his front door and was shot and killed in his doorway.
They say neighbors heard shots at 11 p.m. the night before he was found. Police say he appeared to still be in his "sleeping attire."
After the first search, police went back and asked for a second search warrant after his girlfriend said he had two handguns cops hadn't found on the first search. She said he kept them "in the rafters" of the home.
Police confirmed the victim had two handguns registered to him.
The second search did not turn up the handguns. In the search warrant, police say they think the victim was likely killed with his own gun and both are still missing.
Police believe the victim knew his killer and that's why he answered the door late at night.
