Marengo enters Derby front line as Kingsbarns beats a retreat
O'Brien admits time running out for winter favourite but is pleased by Ballysax victor
Before racing at Leopardstown yesterday, Aidan O'Brien cast definite doubts over the Derby winter favourite, Kingsbarns, making the line-up for the Epsom showpiece. Once the sport started another of the Ballydoyle contenders for the premier Classic, The United States, did the same on the track for his own blue-riband prospects. It was left to Battle Of Marengo to pick up the standard for the powerful Co Tipperary stable, a task he completed in some style in the Ballysax Stakes.
The 10-furlong contest has a fine record as a second-season starting point for horses O'Brien holds in high regard; his previous six winners include Galileo, High Chaparral, Yeats and Fame And Glory. Whether Battle Of Marengo can emulate the first two named in the Derby remains to be seen, but his performance yesterday provided little to cavil about as he coped with a 5lb concession to his four rivals, rain-softened going and a strong headwind.
Such conditions would not be conducive to instant, brilliant acceleration but after being sent to the front early in the straight by his trainer's son, Joseph, the 8-11 favourite went up through the gears with an efficiently determined echo of his name and at the line had a length and three-quarters to spare over Sugar Boy, winner of his three previous starts.
"Very happy with that," O'Brien said. "The ground was not ideal at all but we needed to get going with him. He's always been one of our nicest, a lovely sort of horse who has passed pretty much every test. He's a beautiful-moving horse with a big, open stride and he'll be better on better ground."
Battle Of Marengo, likely to return to Leopardstown next month for Ireland's next traditional Derby trial, the Derrinstown, is now as short as 8-1 for the Epsom Classic. Two of his stable's other sons of Galileo are also prominent at the sharp end of the market: Mars, a possible for the 2,000 Guineas, and, despite his trainer's warnings, Kingsbarns.
The winner of last year's Racing Post Trophy, Kingsbarns had already been ruled out of the 2,000 Guineas after a training setback (a hoof became infected after he pulled a shoe off at exercise last month) but as recently as Friday, O'Brien was still bullish about getting him to Epsom on 1 June. Yesterday, however, he was much more guarded. "He was totally stopped in his work for 10 days," he said, "and when it happened was far from ideal. We are struggling a bit to get him 100 per cent and it's time we are now fighting with him."
If the colt makes it to a trial, it will be at the 11th hour. "We want to give him as much time as we can to get back," said O'Brien, who also won yesterday with Lockinge Stakes-bound four-year-old Declaration Of War and handicapper Justification. "He's in the pool a lot and we're forcing as much as we can without risking the horse. Of ours, he was the horse we were dreaming about but things just haven't gone well with him."
The United States had been the subject of some support at longer prices for the Derby, but his prospects effectively disappeared with a dull effort in the 2,000 Guineas trial. The winner, Fort Knox, considerably enhanced his Classic prospects but the main pointer it provided was to what a trainer his rider Johnny Murtagh will make in due course.
Fort Knox, a brother to 2011 Guineas runner-up Dubawi Gold, transferred as a maiden winner during the winter from Richard Hannon to Murtagh's operation, headed by Tommy Carmody, on the Currragh. Yesterday's victory, after a sweeping run from last to first in the straight, resulted in a cut to 20-1 from 50-1 for the Rowley Mile Classic next month.

CHRIS MCGRATH'S NAP: Destiny Blue (3.40 Redcar)
Failed to cut much ice as a hurdler last year but was useful on the Flat two years ago and, to judge by his reappearance in that sphere over today's course and distance, that ability remains ready to be tapped by his thoroughly capable new trainer.
NEXT BEST: Bitusa (3.10 Redcar)
Shaped with promise last year and on his reappearance two weeks ago and can offer more for return to seven furlongs on better ground.

Cash-rich Farnell looks overseas
Tuesday 17 October 1995
Unless the group finds something to spend the money on, this embarrassment of riches is only going to deepen. Yesterday's half-year results to July were inflated by the pounds 35.3m gain on the sale of Farnell's manufacturing arm, but underlying profits grew by a healthy 25 per cent to pounds 36m. That translated into operating cash flow of pounds 17.6m even before acquisitions and disposals.
CPC, which sells to the UK repair market, is going like a train and actually ran out of catalogues in the spring. There is still plenty of scope to lever its 15 per cent margins, possibly up to the 20 per cent plus typical in the rest of the group's catalogue business.
What can be done is illustrated by Multicomponents, acquired in December 1993 and now a large part of the group's other division, distributing electronic bits and pieces to industrial customers. Margins have been raised from around 1.5 per cent to 6 per cent, tripling profits in under two years, and management is now aiming to lift the divisional return on sales to over 10 per cent.
Even so, with over 80 per cent of the home market tied up between Farnell and Electrocomponents, its slightly bigger competitor, the more exciting growth is to be had overseas. The European market, worth up to $6bn, is six times as big as that of the UK, while the US is three times as big again. The Far Eastern market is also substantial.
Farnell is having success with its formula overseas. Australia and France are becoming substantial businesses and the only real disappointment in the half year was Germany, where restrictions on supplies from IBM knocked sales though profits doubled.
But the real excitement must come from Farnell's entry this month into the key US and Far Eastern markets. The pounds 1.5m or so cost to profits this year could take up to three years to pay back, but the cash cost will be small and fully justified by the potential returns.
Upgraded forecasts put profits at pounds 75m this year, rising to pounds 86m next, giving a prospective p/e of 18, falling to 16, with the shares at 658p, up 7p. The overseas moves carry some risk, but that does not justify the substantial discount to Electrocomponents' rating. Hold.
Famous Grouse about tax bill
Whether or not you agree with the Scotch industry's persistent bleatings for a more equitable tax regime, full- year figures from Highland Distilleries yesterday underlined the need for something to give.
With input costs on the rise, overheads already pared down effectively and retail prices remaining under pressure it is hard to see where profits growth is going to come from.
Not from growing volumes, if sales trends in the world's biggest markets are any guide. Last year Europe as a whole was flat as a pancake, although even that flatters as the UK, still more than half Highland's business, fell worryingly.
That led to a disappointing pre-tax profits rise of just 1 per cent to pounds 42.9m (pounds 42.5m). It was punished by the stock market, where the shares fell 12p to 379p.
Forecasts, already fairly unambitious, were reined in yesterday.
The only bright spot for investors was the comfortable dividend cover, which meant that despite earnings per share only improving slightly to 22.1p (21.9p), the full-year payout was able to jump 9 per cent to 7.9p (7.26p).
Highland's biggest problem is its unusually large exposure to the UK consumer, which last year bought 7 per cent less Scotch than the year before. That makes it even more vulnerable than the rest of the industry to what does appear to be an unfairly harsh tax bill, which accounts for pounds 7.63 of the cost of a pounds 12.50 bottle of whisky.
The company has stuck to its guns on price but doing so has had the inevitable result, with consumers objecting to paying maybe pounds 2 more per bottle for Famous Grouse than for the supermarkets' own brands.
In the short term profits are unlikely to exceed more than about pounds 45m this year.
On a prospective price/earnings ratio of over 16, a big premium to Guinness, the shares still look expensive.

Martha Stewart's arrest.Nobody wants to go to prison.
But following the recent sentencing of Rajat Gupta for insider trading, we wondered where white collar criminals would want to go if they had to.
In choosing America's fanciest prison, we considered whether they had high-profile, non-violent inmates, and what kind of "amenities" they offer.
Federal Prison Camp in Alderson, W. Va. is our pick.
It is the women's prison where Martha Stewart spent five months in 2004 and 2005. Other famous inmates have gone there, too.

Welcome to my online home. This is where I open the door and invite you inside to meet my literary family: my ten nonfiction books, four podcasts, and almost 200 magazine articles–many available right here–and my Roaring Twenties mystery series written by my alter ego, Mary Miley. I've been busy with two books published last year and another, Silent Murders, that came out in September. I'm looking forward to seeing the book I wrote for Colonial Williamsburg on 18th-century transportation, which will be published in June under the title, Rivers and Roads. My writing is focused on finishing the fourth in the Roaring Twenties mystery series (working title, Murder in Disguise), and writing a corporate history for the 50th anniversary of a large real estate developer. My winter calendar is light on travel–only 8 book events scheduled so far, but this is the slow time of year. I hope to get lots of writing done! I'll be in Winston-Salem, NC, and Petersburg, Williamsburg, Charlottesville (Festival of the Book), and Portsmouth VA, plus doing several local events closer to home. I'd love to see you at any that are open to the public.

A Title Selected for New Book
I just got the word that the book I wrote for Colonial Williamsburg has a title! I submitted three suggestions, and they chose RIVERS AND ROADS: TRANSPORTATION IN COLONIAL AMERICA. This is a coffee-table book with stunning photographs by CW's talented photographer, Dave Doody. I've seen about half–they are gorgeous. Can't wait to see the rest! This view of the carriage in the snow is one of them. Everything has been sent to the designers for layout, and it will publish some time in 2015. As soon as I have a cover image, I'll post it.

African-Americans during the Williamsburg Restoration
The leading local promoter of the restoration of Williams-burg to its eighteenth-century aspect, the Reverend Dr. W. A. R. Goodwin, summoned townspeople to a meeting June 12, 1928, to put his plan to a vote. A College of William and Mary fund-raiser and professor, as well as rector of Bruton Parish Church, he had negotiated the details with the city and county governments. They had surveyed public properties, drafted contracts, and secured the assent of Goodwin's once-anonymous backer . . . The ballots tallied one hundred-fifty to four in favor, but not everyone with an interest in the outcome got to cast one, as pro forma as these may have been. In those years, seven hundred of the town's 2,500 residents were African Americans. None attended the gathering. In Jim Crow's Virginia, they could not enter the whites-only school. Williamsburg's black citizens heard secondhand the official word that the town would become a museum, and that white Williamsburg had voted its approval.

New York Town Takes Up Fracking Issue
By David Chanatry
Some towns in New York are rushing to ban horizontal hydrofracking, a controversial technique for capturing natural gas trapped deep under ground. The state itself has yet to approve fracking, but Dryden, N.Y., isn't taking any chances. Town supervisors approved a ban based on local zoning. David Chanatry of the New York Reporting Project at Utica College reports, the Dryden's ban is the issue in next week's town board elections.

Tom Wilhelmsen was demoted to Triple-A Tacoma on August 6 and registered a 10.50 ERA over 12 2/3 innings there, but the Mariners have decided to recall him anyway because Tacoma's season is just about over and major league rosters have expanded to 40.
"Hopefully he can flip that switch again," manager Eric Wedge told Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times on Sunday. "I do feel strongly that he's going to be a part of this. In what role, I don't know. He has too big an arm. He has too much experience. He's had too much success up here in a vital role not to be."
Wilhelmsen converted 29 saves alongside a 2,50 ERA and 9.9 K/9 in 2012 and got off to a fine start this season, but the wheels fell off for him around mid-June and he hasn't been able to screw them back on.

Confessions of a white male
They say confession is good for the soul, so here it is: I am a white male. Ever since the election, all I've heard is that our day is done. It's all our fault. My kind drove America ... in fact, the whole world plus the moon, too, because 12 of us landed there — to perdition. The election was our comeuppance. I read it in The New York Times:
"Mitt Romney is the president of white male America," wrote Maureen Dowd. "Maybe the group can retreat to a man cave in a Whiter House, with mahogany paneling, brown leather Chesterfields, a moose head over the fireplace. ... In its delusional death spiral, the white male patriarchy was so hard core, so redolent of country clubs and Cadillacs, it made little effort not to alienate women."

That 16-core A15 Axxia communications chip LSI keeps talking about is finally here and SemiAccurate got their hands on one. Not only that but LSI was showing them running in real systems on the ARM Techcon show floor.
The chip below was real silicon, I know it says Mech Sample but given how much these things cost you can hardly blame LSI for putting non-working ones on the show floor. That said the Axxia 5516 was running demo code in another booth. The device itself is pretty tame looking, mainly just a lidded SoC that looks like this.
Under the hood lurks 16 ARM A15s
Not much more to say about the device, it works and normal ARM consumer benchmarks are pretty useless to describe a base station device. Angry Birds FPS is not a good placeholder but the number of copies of Angry Birds pulled from a CDN and sent over the air per second might be. Anyone know any good comms hardware benchmarks? Until then if you don't get why we say this, take a look at the architecture of the Axxia for more.S|A

9/11 Flag at Young AZ Victim's Funeral: Poignant or Propaganda?
2011-01-14 0:00
By Elizabeth Leafloor |
A time of sadness, mourning, and questioning has fallen upon the State of Arizona, and the United States at large.
Since the violent shooting of Representative Gabrielle Giffords and 14 other people, and the death of 6 in Tucson Arizona, the country has been searching for the answers to how this could have happend.
Details of the event trickled out, and within hours of the incident the speculation and rhetoric of different political and social factions had snowballed, and the social networking sites and news media outlets were on fire with minutia of the case and who was to take the blame for the massacre.
Strangely enough, the accused shooter Jared Loughner was not high on the list of targets of blame.
It was assumed he was the shooter based on witness accounts, and the fact that he'd been tackled and held at the scene when law enforcement arrived, but the headlines were not attacking him personally with anything more hard hitting than "pot smoking loner" or "mentally unstable", and having a "troubled past".
It was reported that Loughner was
fascinated with mind control.
It was debated if he was a liberal, democrat, libertarian, republican, with all sides refusing to allow for his alignment to their party, ideas, or political thoughts.
The mainstream media was even avoiding using the word "terrorism" in this political killing, even though the definition of the word terrorism is "the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature".
In fact, the most heavy handed accusations were directed at the various cast of political characters.
Sarah Palin got blamed
for targeting Democrats and inciting violence.
President Obama got blamed for dividing the country with a polarizing health care bill - a bill which drove Loughner to the edge.
Guns were attacked as the cause, and the
gun control wedge issue
is now back for hot debate.
With the attacker safely behind bars and somewhat out of the picture, the story took on a new angle, and became a political struggle, the crisis of the division of a country between right and left.
What was a tragedy is now, seemingly, being turned into an opportunity.
Rahm Emanuel "DON'T WASTE A GOOD CRISIS!"
Video from:
As victims are rememberd, heroes applauded, and the dead buried, the tone of the incident is hope for change in some, a reaffirmation of division for others.
The first funeral for the victims of the shooting is probably the hardest to bear.
Christina Taylor Green
, 9, was gunned down and, along with Representative Giffords, probably will come to represent the event in the minds of the public from now on. The other victims are not forgotten, but Giffords and Green resonate in the public consciousness with true tragedy and 'innocence lost'.
Green's funeral, poingant and heartbreaking, was also the venue for a lot of stranger symbolism.
Christina was born on September 11, 2001; Infamous 9/11, date of the destruction of the Twin Towers and WTC Building 7, the episode of Flight 93, and the events at the Pentagon.
"The largest flag recovered after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center is being unfurled and raised at the funeral of the youngest victim of the mass shooting in Arizona.
Services are being held Thursday in Tucson for 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green. She was born on Sept. 11, 2001, and was killed Saturday when a gunman opened fired on a crowd at an event for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. The congresswoman was gravely wounded and six people were killed."
Can we question the inclusion of the specter of 9/11 being raised with the flag at a young girl's funeral? Is it meant as a gesture of reminder (and if so, how are 9/11 victims and Christina related other than a fluke of date), or is it meant as a political suggestion where all tragedies must be linked back to the 'ultimate' American tragedy and the resultant wars on 'terror' are therefore once again justified?
It certainly is linking the events in Arizona with the narrative of 9/11 emotionally to the public and opening old wounds.
Had Christina been born on December 7, would some memorabilia from the bombing of Pearl Harbour in 1941 been erected at her funeral? Probably not.
What makes the addition of the flag more interesting, is that Jared Loughner is
reportedly a '9/11 Truther'
, who suspects the government is hiding the truth about 9/11.
Christina Green's funeral
was to be protested
, but the controversial Westboro Baptist Church changed their minds about it after being given voice on talk radio.
A Strange Mix: People that attended her funeral ranged from angels, to bikers, to astronauts.
A woman from the so called
"Angel Project"
is overcome with emotion as she stands with others as they line the street leading to the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church where the funeral for nine-year-old Christina Green was to take place in Tucson, Arizona, January 13, 2011.
A group of motorcycle riders arrives at the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church.
Mark Edward Kelly is an American astronaut. Kelly is the commander of STS-134 Endeavour, the final planned mission of the American space shuttle program.
Kelly is married to U.S. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords. Due to the attempted assassination of his wife his status as commander of STS-134 is in doubt. Kelly said that he is "hopeful" he'll be able to serve on STS-134 and according to NASA he remains the commander of the mission. Peggy Whitson of NASA commented on January 13, 2011 that Mark "is facing many uncertainties now as he supports Gabrielle, and our goal is to allow him to keep his undistracted attention on his family while allowing preparations for the mission to progress."
Will the multiple tragedies raised around this event be turned to political gain? If we look to the past for lessons, it would scream YES.
Some question pep rally atmosphere at Obama speech
By Gillian Flaccus and Bob Christie |
What was billed as a memorial for victims of the Arizona shooting rampage turned into a rollicking rally, leaving some conservative commentators wondering whether President Barack Obama's speech was a scripted political event. Not so, insisted the White House and host University of Arizona.
Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs said Thursday he and other aides didn't expect the president's remarks at the school's basketball arena to receive as much rousing applause as it did. Gibbs said the crowd's response, at times cheering and shouting, was understandable.
"I think part of the grieving process is celebrating the lives of those that were lost, and celebrating the miracles of those that survived," he said.
The university said it did the planning with minimal input from the White House. The school paid for the event, including $60,000 for 20,000 T-shirts bearing the words "Together We Thrive," which were handed out for free. The money will not come student tuition, fees or tax dollars.
Well before Obama arrived, the atmosphere had become celebratory. People lined up for hours, and when the doors finally opened about two hours before the start, a huge cheer went up and the crowd surged into the arena.
With the exception of elected officials, victims and their families, first responders and medical professionals, the capacity crowd of about 14,000 was admitted on a first-come, first-served basis Wednesday, university spokeswoman Jennifer Fitzenberger said.
But the choreographed nature of the event was too much for some.
"Can't the Democrat political stage managers give it a break just once?" conservative commentator Michelle Malkin wrote in a column on her website, then questioned the lack of White House interaction with the university.
"Given the Obama White House's meticulous attention to stage prop details, however, I would say the odds of involvement by Axelrod/Plouffe & Co. are high."
David Plouffe is a presidential adviser who was the architect of Obama's presidential campaign; White House senior adviser David Axelrod has been his political strategist and is to advise the Obama's re-election campaign.
Rich Lowry of the National Review wrote that "the pep-rally atmosphere was inappropriate and disconcerting," although he admired the president's speech.
To observers, the crowd was spontaneous.
They cheered when the two trauma surgeons who treated Rep. Gabrielle Giffords entered and were shown on the overhead screen. As the camera would focus on other individuals thrust into the spotlight after the shooting, the crowd went wild, whether it was the first responders, the woman who grabbed the alleged gunman's ammunition or Daniel Hernandez, the intern who helped Giffords at the scene of the shooting.
Sheriff Clarence Dupnik, who drew criticism from some corners for his remarks about Arizona immediately after the shooting, drew particularly loud applause and responded with a wave to the cameras.
Despite the celebrations in the rafters, the mood below where the families of the victims, the president and other officials sat was far more somber.
Obama frequently bowed his head, resting his chin on his clasped hands. First lady Michelle Obama wiped tears from her eyes. Families of the victims held each other close as speakers shared personal memories of their loved ones.
The president himself appeared taken aback at the sustained applause he received after his remarks. He waved quickly to the crowd as he left the stage, stood with his head down as the crowd continued to cheer, then reached for his wife, and kissed her several times on the cheek.

Sweden is heading over the cliff in multiple areas, all at once. They are pushing the abolition of cash, run amok state feminism, gender war, pacification of the police and perhaps even more frightening: open borders. A policy that have given the country a "gold medal" in asylum seeker acceptance. Run away
Charlie Hebdo: Where Neocons, Zionists, Masons and Communists Converge
2015-01-30 1:20
Charlie Hebdo, raising the banner of revolt, has always regurgitated precisely what the "system" required. Charlie Hebdo (CH) came out of the New Left milieu of the 1960s and is a product of the 1968 revolt against President Charles de Gaulle. It happens that the most famous of the New Left revolts came at a time when (1) the CIA was ...

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) - A former Eden Prairie police officer says she's disgusted to learn that more than 100 law-enforcement officials accessed her driver's-license information after she retired.
Anne Marie Rasmusson retired in 2003 because of a back injury. The 37-year-old believes officers continued to access her files to look at her picture or get her address.
After she contacted the state Driver and Vehicle Services division this summer, the agency found that more than 100 members of 18 law-enforcement agencies queried her record 425 times in four years.
One Eden Prairie police sergeant acknowledged to investigators he didn't have a good reason to access her record 13 times. He was demoted and received a five-day unpaid suspension.
A St. Paul Pioneer Press report says dozens of other officers have been disciplined.

Apple discusses in-flight iTunes downloads
Airline in-flight entertainment system providers have talked with Apple about licensing iTunes to enable passengers to download music and videos onto iPods while flying. "We've had lots of discussions with Apple," said Thales VP and in-flight systems GM Brad Foreman. "The key is to get them to see the value of hosting iTunes on an aircraft. Is it a big enough market for them to be interested in? I'd try to do it tomorrow if they said yes." Panasonic Avionics strategic product marketing director David Bruner agreed that "there's a lot of airline interest" in the idea of hosting iTunes. "Apple is aware of the market," he said. "It's a small market for them, but it's a very visible market."
Flight International reports: "Several airlines have requested building iPod docks, or Universal Serial Bus (USB) portsin seatbacks, allowing passengers to browse iTunes through the airline's IFE system before transferring music directly to the MP3 player. Flights could be an ideal time during which to download songs, but currently it is restricted to those passengers with laptops flying on a flight with a wireless network."
"In order to license an onboard system offering, Apple would have to re-engineer the software to allow songs downloaded mid-flight to be transferred back on the customer's computer hard disk, currently prohibited," notes the publication. "Apple would also encounter licensing issues similar to those faced by in-flight telephony providers over where copyright and sales data are recorded for media downloaded in international airspace, according to industry insiders familiar with the negotiations."

who needs that?! Sooner or later airplanes will all have wi-fi access so people can purchase songs or so whatever they want…
I don't see why annyone would buy songs on an airplane, for a premium I assume…
Posted by tom on April 11, 2006 at 10:23 AM (CDT)
Wouldn't the rest of your song library be deleted when you connect your iPod to the computer in the plane? You would have to set your iPod to Manual Update, and even then, you could never put it on your computer back home (at least, never legally or easily). At home, you would have to set your iPod to Manual Update forever, or you would lose the song on your iPod, since you couldn't load the song onto your computer. No thank you. Apple and the airlines would need to figure out a way to allow the transfer of the song from the iPod to the computer, a practice Apple currently doesn't allow.
And if songs cost a penny more than 99 cents on the airplane, forget it.

Just because it can be done, does not mean that it should be done…
Posted by Mark on April 11, 2006 at 11:26 AM (CDT)
Are you guys kidding? This is a great idea! Stuck on a five-hour flight without any videos you want to watch and a crappy in-flight movie? Grab an episode of your favorite TV show. If this is limited to just music, then I have less interest because a song is only going to last four minutes or so anyway (though you could of course purchase an album). But grabbing video would be phenomenal. Sure you could do the same thing at home, but never underestimate how your preferences can change when stuck on a flight.
By the way, Bradley, read the last paragraph after the jump. (I know this new layout can sometimes encourage skipping info.) Apple would have to allow a workaround.
Posted by $ean on April 11, 2006 at 12:01 PM (CDT)
before we offer iTunes, lets offer better seats, prices and services, shall we?
Posted by james on April 11, 2006 at 12:13 PM (CDT)
you guys realize that this will only create an even stronger monopoly for apple, right?! I'm not sure how much they will charge, but I don't think that they will make any profits out of it, considering that they have to come up with a work around as well as airline having to invest in the iPod docks. Not talking about the new infastracture that is needed to process the payment and the licenses.
Apple tends to change docks frequently. How do they assure that people with 4th/5th/mini/nano iPods can all connect to it?
IMHO, people would just use it to try it while it is new, but it will be a flop just like those on board phones. I never saw someone actually using them.
The airlines should rather work on making their airplanes less noisy so that one can actually enjoy listing to music without ruining his ears.
Anyway, it is not going to happen anyway. Sooner or later the iPod will have wireless technology built in, so people can buy new songs while waiting for the flight or in the airplane once there are hotspots on every airplane. That would also limit the amount of time airlines have to make profits.

that iPod hype starts to annoy me. soon the kids will get sick of the iPod, because everyone has one and to set themselfes apart from the crowd, they will look for alternative products. we already see that happening in the cell phone market. cell phones used to big, but now it is just something everyone just has no one talks about…the same thing will happen to mp3 players…
Posted by joe on April 11, 2006 at 12:34 PM (CDT)
Sure, Joe, but people still buy cell phones. You just have to market the device properly to keep it cutting edge (see the Sidekick).
Posted by $ean on April 11, 2006 at 12:56 PM (CDT)
sorry, $ean, didn't see that. yeah, i wish the whole article would siaply on the homepage, it would make everything so much less confusing
Posted by Bradley on April 11, 2006 at 4:58 PM (CDT)
I'd just be happy with charging my iPod during long flights.
Have been on a couple of flights this year already which were well over 10 hours each way.
That way I would have a fully charged iPod when I land, despite having listened to it for 10 hours or so.

( Max score: 100 )
Master filmmaker Quentin Tarantino presents Hero - starring martial arts legend Jet Li in a visually stunning martial arts epic where a fearless warrior rises up to defy an empire and unite a nation! With supernatural skill...and no fear...a nameless soldier (Jet Li) embarks on a mission of revenge against the fearsome army that massacred his people. Now, to achieve the justice he seeks, he must take on the empire's most ruthless assassins and reach the enemy he has sworn to defeat!
Hero is a film much like Crouching tiger hidden dragon in that it tells an involving story using a flamboyant and physical visual style steeped in martial arts and larger than life caricatures. The story revolves around a nameless avenger who seeks an audience with the reclusive and elusive emperor. The emperor maintains high level security and a large, methodical army to enforce laws and protect him from would be assassins. Nameless (Li) gains this audience with the emperor because he has single-handedly dispatched a deadly trio of assassins known as Sky (Yen), Flying Snow (Cheung), and Broken Sword (Leung). Two members of the trio attempted to assassinate the emperor, escaped, and have eluded his army. The Emperor is very interested in learning how Nameless was able to pull off such a feat and insists on a detailed explanation of the events that transpired. At this point the film is then told through a series of flashback sequences that intermittently return to present (Nameless and the emperor). First, through Nameless, second through the Emperor, as he details his own suppositions based upon what he has heard from Nameless, and his skepticism as to its authenticity and lastly an additional telling that very well may be what actually happened although it is never really determined. As the story unfolds through each telling/version it changes leaving us with an intricate weave of variability with the potential outcome essentially being the same although even that may be interpretive. The result can be a little frustrating because as each version is depicted it elicits an emotional investment that we entrust to each only to find out that perhaps it never occurred. Frustrating or not it ends up paying dividends thanks to the story's depth, viscerally strong action sequences, fight choreography, cinematography, cast, and capable direction. This is my first experience with Hero and like Crouching Tiger it left me notably impressed and desirous of another viewing.
The rating is for stylized martial arts violence and a scene of sensuality.
Hero comes to Blu-ray from Buena Vista HE/Disney featuring 1080p AVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 36 mbps and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio and lossy 5.1 Dolby Digital surround that have average and constant bitrates of 4.5 mbps and 640 kbps respectively.
This high definition presentation has a light grainy and filmic quality that doesn't lend itself to razor sharp clarity and three dimensional depth. Wide angle shots tend to offer clear definition with fair but limited visual depth. Close-ups and mid level shots reveal better refinement with appreciable nuance and texture. Filtering and clever use of color combine to give it a stylized/period look with certain segments bathed in mood creating monochromatic hues. Secondary colors tend to be limited to sepia/earth tones and grays that aren't overly vivid but do appear natural and delineated. Primary colors are cleanly rendered and pop quite nicely when onscreen. Blacks are deep and rich, with excellent dynamic range that gives them discerning visual depth. Contrast is strong without compromise to fidelity. Shadow delineation is equally impressive which provides good image penetration during segments containing limited lighting. During the sequence in chapter 10 as Broken Sword and Snow storm the palace I noticed what appeared to be digital noise in the backdrop of the green curtains (?) as they swayed to and fro in the background. I didn't detect any other obvious signs of video related anomalies or artifacts and thought that this encoding looked solid..
This Blu-ray disc is presented with Chinese lossy Dolby Digital and English dubbed DTS-HD Master Audio sound options. I have no idea why a Chinese DTS-HD MA language track wasn't included. Personally I prefer to watch with the original language tracks rather than dubbed as I find it too distracting. In this case I ended up splitting between the two in order to evaluate the lossless audio quality as well as being able to enjoy the film. In either case I found this to be a superb and fairly aggressive surround mix that offers impressive sound quality. This is a notably complex sound design that utilizes the entire system to effectively create an enveloping atmosphere that is brimming with directional and discretely placed sound effects. Panning sequences are delivered with seamless precision which makes for a cohesive 360 degree soundfield. Dynamics are powerful and deliver authoritative impact and clearly articulated audio that allows all of the sonic detail inherent with the soundtrack to be detectable. Low frequency effects provide room energizing bass that is clean, extended and tactilely efficient. Tan Dun's beautiful music has a potent and visceral feel that is enhanced by the soundtracks impressive dynamic quality. Dialogue is rendered with good tonal variation and clarity through the center channel however during busier audio segments lacks prominence within the front soundstage. That minor complaint aside I thought this was a terrific sounding audio presentation.
Hero is a wonderfully executed and exciting film that combines intrigue, drama, and incredibly entertaining and intricate martial arts choreography. I found its presentation on Blu-ray Disc to be good but not without room for improvement. Its strongest attribute is its soundtrack but that is tainted by the strange decision to only offer an English dubbed lossless audio option. The bonus supplements include a Digital Copy and Blu-ray exclusive features but the content is only mildly interesting. Whether or not to pick this up will largely depend how eager you are to upgrade your current version. I would imagine that this presentation will best the previous DVD release and is worthy of consideration. If you have never seen Hero I highly recommend you through it in the queue and give it a spin.
