New iTunes terms confirm: no iTunes Extras, LP on iPad
Apple has updated its iTunes Store Terms & Conditions ahead of the iPad's launch, revealing a few minor details about the device's functionality. Most notably, and despite reports indicating that the formats were developed with the iPad in mind, the initial iPad software will not offer support for iTunes Extras or iTunes LP content. The new terms state, "iTunes LP and iTunes Extras Products are usable only on computers with iTunes 9 or higher and Apple TV with software version 3.0 or higher," adding that if the user purchases a album or movie that includes such content, it won't be downloaded to the iPad, but instead will be placed in the user's download queue for later downloading via iTunes. In addition, the terms also state that movies rented using the iPad may not be moved from the device, mirroring the behavior of movies rented on the Apple TV.

Was iTunes LP ever meant to succeed or is it just a concession to music publishers? The whole thing seems designed to get people back into the habit of buying albums rather than tracks, which could probably be better accomplished if so many albums didn't contain so many uninteresting filler tracks. Even so, the extra content could be compelling for some albums if it was actually accessible on the devices people were using to listen to music. I guess there are a fair amount of people who listen on their computers, but I'm guessing more listen on their portable devices.

Well this makes sense seeing as the iPad uses a version of the iPhone OS to run and the iPhone doesn't do iTunes LP.
It wouldn't surprise me to see the next version of iPhone OS support iTunes LP and Extras.
Posted by Charles Starrett on April 2, 2010 at 5:51 PM (CDT)
iTunes LP and such would be 1000% better on the iPad than on a desktop or laptop. I would actually buy some. I hope they do that in the future.
Posted by Charles Starrett on April 2, 2010 at 7:52 PM (CDT)
I tried viewing an iTunes LP (Plastic Beach) on an TV the other day.
It was completely unusable– The TV doesn't have the power for the advanced features of iTunes LP.
The iPad is much more powerful than an TV, I hope they add support in a later software update…

Earthquake Resolution Passed
By Casey Northcutt
The Paducah City Commissioners approved a resolution Tuesday supporting the reevaluation of western Kentucky's status on the National Seismic Hazard Map. The map currently rates the area's propensity for earthquakes as high as Los Angeles or San Francisco. However, Zhenming Wang and James Cobb of the University of Kentucky have been reviewing the methodology used to create the map. Their new methods could lower western Kentucky's seismic risk. Commissioner Richard Abraham said if the city could ease building codes as a result of lower risk, it could lessen the strain on builders and developers and possibly improve the economy.

Top five stats from the Bahrain Grand Prix
Apr 23, 2013, 8:48 AM EDT
The top three in the Bahrain Grand Prix was the same as we had last year – something which very rarely happens in F1. Here are the top five stats from last weekend's race.
Podium déjà vu
The 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix had something very unusual in common with the 1999 Spanish Grand Prix and the 1965 British Grand Prix.
All three saw the exact same podium as they had at the previous race one year before:
|1964 and 1965 British Grands Prix
|Jim Clark
|Graham Hill
|John Surtees
|1998 and 1999 Spanish Grands Prix
|Mika Hakkinen
|David Coulthard
|Michael Schumacher
|2012 and 2013 Bahrain Grands Prix
|Sebastian Vettel
|Kimi Raikkonen
|Romain Grosjean
Mercedes match BRM and Cooper
Mercedes scored back-to-back pole positions for the first time since 1955.
Nico Rosberg gave them their 11th pole, putting them level with former teams BRM and Cooper.
Raikkonen keeps on scoring
Kimi Raikkonen is drawing ever closer to that record for most consecutive points scores. Bahrain was his 21st in a row, leaving him three short of Michael Schumacher's record.
Red Bull in the top five…
Red Bull are now the fifth most successful Formula One team of all time having scored their 36th win last weekend. Ferrari, McLaren, Williams and Lotus lie ahead of them – they need another 45 to draw level with the latter in fourth place.
…and Vettel in the top six
This was Sebastian Vettel's 28th career win meaning he has won more races than any F1 driver bar Michael Schumacher, Alain Prost, Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell – and Fernando Alonso.

Resistance and Revolution as Lived Daily Experience: An Interview with Leila Khaled (Intro)
The protests and uprisings that have taken hold across the Arab world have given new contours to processes of politicization, as well as the use of the term "revolution." Before 2011, references to "the revolution" around the Arab World would conjure images of Gamal Abdul Nasser, Abdul-Karim Qassim, Mu'ammar al-Qaddafi, George Habash, and Yasser Arafat, among others. Put differently, "the revolution"—and all that the term entailed in terms of hopes, dreams, belonging, solidarities, and conflicts—had for many of my generation felt like a distant past, one whose possibilities were foreclosed by a variety of forces; some structural and others contingent. Even those of us that self-identified as leftists, progressives, activists, and/or organizers understood ourselves to be working in a period and context far removed from that described by our parents, mentors, inspirations, and interviewees. As a historian of the second half of the twentieth century, I am often struck by how mobilized the average person was between the 1940s and 1960s, through a combination of political party affiliation, protest participation, and boycott action, to say nothing of simply bearing witness to all that defined those decades. Such degrees of politicization provided a sharp contrast to the effects of post-1970s depoliticization and demobilization across the Arab world as various regimes consolidated their rule and the regional and international order was institutionalized.
The trajectory of Leila Khaled, an icon of the "Palestinian revolution," one of the tens of thousands that were politicized and mobilized, and an inspiration to many then and since, is one example of the multiplicity of ways in which individuals were politicized and mobilized. Listening to Leila Khaled narrating her experience of such processes was a turning point in my own political trajectory. Day after day of visiting with her, I slowly came to understand that it was not her membership in the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), nor her hijacking of two airplanes (one in 1969 and one in 1970), that made her the person she was. Rather, it was a series of smaller events, processes, and discoveries, which she experienced well before her infamous acts, that politicized and mobilized her. She was neither innately radical nor a conformist.
As 2011 enters its final quarter, Mu'ammar al-Qaddafi has been added to the list of toppled Arab autocrats, while the Ba'thist regime in Syria—which claims the mantle of "resistance" and the legacy of "revolution"—is facing a threat from below the likes of which it has never faced. In Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, and Libya, "the revolution" is no longer a signifier of a bygone era. It is a lived experience, a reality, and the present. The "revolution" has compelled many to claim and imitate it, in the Middle East and beyond — from Tel Aviv to Madrid and Wisconsin. As one insightful analysis put: "Politics, in short, has returned to the Arab world." This is true in spite of, and partly as a result of, the varied contradictions of "the revolution" across its different locals, as well as the ongoing struggles to define its scope and legacy.
However, we inhabit a very different world today, defined by different legacies, burdened by revolutions aborted and resistance abandoned. If the previous generation of resistance fighters and revolutionary activists were primarily informed by the experience of colonial rule and its aftermath, today's generation is primarily informed by decades of indigenous authoritarian rule. Furthermore, those very political parties and ruling regimes that rose to prominence on the rhetoric—and, admittedly, programs—of social revolution and anti-colonial resistance, are now themselves accused of violating principles of social justice and national liberation. While such differences characterize the current processes of politicization and mobilization, the failures and limits of the previous generation's promises and policies weigh heavily enough to circumscribe said processes with significant degrees of skepticism, cynicism, and fear of the unknown. Nevertheless, a dramatically larger section of the region's populations are politicized and mobilized than before 2011. A new generation claims "the revolution."
What follows is a translated transcription of a series of interviews I conducted with Leila Khaled during the summer of 2007. We have much to learn from her and the rest of her generation of activists and revolutionaries. More urgently now, I find myself returning to her experiences, in the context of the Arab uprisings, as we find ourselves confronted by and grappling with the hopes, dreams, demands, and strategies of resistance.

RECIPE: Apple Walnut Gorgonzola Rustic Tart
I made two of these tarts last week for a potluck, and thought that they were good enough to share the recipe. They would make a nice addition to a buffet table for the holidays and would work for either dessert or an appetizer since they're not too sweet. I think it would also be good made with pears. Enjoy :-)

Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 Pâte Brisée (tart dough) for a 10-inch -- flat pie crust
tart (see all butter crust recipe) or 1
1/2 cup walnuts -- chopped
1/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese (or blue
1 tablespoon fresh thyme -- chopped, or 1/2
teaspoon dried
2 Tbsp maple syrup
2 large granny smith apples (or other good -- peeled, cored, chopped
cooking apples such as jonagold or fuji)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)
1 Toss the walnuts, gorgonzola, thyme, chopped apples, and maple syrup together in a medium size bowl. As you are working with the apples (chopping them, mixing them in with the other ingredients), if you want, you can squeeze a little lemon juice on them to help keep them from discoloring. Cover the mixture with plastic wrap while you prepare the crust.
2 Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll out pastry dough to 13-inches, at an 1/8 of an inch thickness. Place pastry dough on a rimmed baking sheet. (Rimmed because the pastry will leak butter during the cooking process.) Mound the filling in the middle of the rolled out dough, and spread out evenly to 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches from the edge of the dough. Pleat the edges of the dough over the filling.
3 Bake for 45 minutes to an hour, until crust is nicely browned. If at any time it looks like the walnuts are getting a little burnt, you can lightly tent a piece of aluminum foil over the center.
Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving. A pizza wheel works great for slicing up the tart.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Yeah, Happy Valentine's Day, Mother Russia.
But is it "A Good Day to Die Hard," a good time to be had by all as Bruce Willis takes his fifth shot at "shootin' all the scumbags"?
Loud and tedious, "Die Hard" 5 is a shaky-cam/ Sensurround blast of bullets and bombs, digital explosions and death defying feats of defying death.
Not a decent villain or catchphrase in it, it's an attempt to CIA-up the New York-cop-takes-on-the-world's-terrorists franchise. And it doesn't work.
Director John Moore ("Behind Enemy Lines") spends an endless opening filled with no-names speaking Russian and laying out an elaborate scheme to nab/ kill or release a rich "political prisoner" (Sebastian Koch). Moore gave his cinematographer a Steadicam and a case of Red Bull, and shot the whole thing with a jittery frame that doesn't mask how dull the action beats are, and how REALLY dull the chatty father-son bonding scenes in-between the action beats are.
John McClane (Bruce Willis) is in Moscow to check up on a son (Jai Courtney of "Spartacus") who's in jail. Turns out the estranged son is CIA, and he's on a mission. And dad, who's "on vacation," is interfering. Or saving the day, depending on your point of view.
The kid calls the old man by his first name.
"John? Whatever happened to 'Dad'?"
"Yeah, whatever happened to him?"
They don't get along.
"Need a hug?"
"We're not really a hugging family."
They crash through an epic Moscow traffic jam - which Moore & Co. shoot and edit into a jumble of crushed cars and feeble wisecracks from the villains - "Boy, dis guy iz really gettink on my nerves."
They get into fights with helicopters. In the middle of the city. Not that local law enforcement notices.
And it's all in pursuit of some mysterious "file," which the prisoner they're trying to slip out of the country has. Or doesn't.
Vast arsenals turn up, at their convenience. Unlimited supplies of lead are exchanged with legions of evil minions.
With "Red Dawn" remade, badly, and Stallone and Schwarzenegger stinking up cinemas in the weeks leading up to this, you kind of hoped the last '80s action star to take his shot could conjure up a little of the old magic.
Willis, sad to say, doesn't.
For 25 years, it's generally been "A Good Day to Die Hard." But these last two films have neutered the franchise and wrecked any hopes that Bruce as McClane might be Bourne again. The guy can still take a licking - still pull those shards of glass out after every death- and physics-defying stunt. But the character is weary, and the "I'm on vacation" line is played out. McClane needs to trot out "I'm retired" from here on out.
