"Supreme Court bucks administration on anti-pollution."
In a unanimous ruling yesterday, the Supreme Court went against the Bush administration and strengthened the landmark anti-pollution Superfund program, "enabling companies to recover costs when they voluntarily clean up hazardous material."

New Ambassador To Return to Old Country
Eisen, son of Czech Jew, is appointed
Yesterday, the White House announced a flurry of end-of-year recess appointments for nominees whose confirmations had been held up by the Senate—they will not require confirmation but their terms will expire after Congress's next session, probably in December 2011. Most controversially, President Obama named Robert Ford to be the United States's first ambassador to Syria since 2005, when the last one was recalled following the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri. Another recess-appointed diplomat was Norman Eisen, the administration's ethics and government reform czar (nickname: Dr. No). He was named ambassador to the Czech Republic.
This particular appointment represents a bit of poetic justice: As Eisen explained during his confirmation hearings last summer, his mother, Frieda, was born in Czechoslovakia, but deported to Auschwitz. She survived, and eventually found her way stateside, along with Eisen's Polish-born father, who died when Eisen was 14. "Neither had a formal education, but our home in Los Angeles was rich in conversation, culture, and memory," Eisen, now 50, testified. He became the first in his family to graduate from high school, and went on to Brown; after a stint working for the Anti-Defamation League in L.A., he attended Harvard Law, where he became friendly with a classmate who went on to run both the law review and, later, the United States.

Cayabyab: Choice of singer crucial to making a hit song
What makes a hit song?
Apart from well-written lyrics and a catchy melody that the listeners can latch on to, having the right interpreter is crucial, according to Ryan Cayabyab: "After all, a song is not a song until it's performed."
Thus, choosing the interpreters for the 12 final entries to this year's Philippine Popular Music Festival (Philpop) songwriting tilt was a painstaking process that involved discussions and some haggling between the contestants and the sponsor label, Universal Records.
"The finalists came up with their own wish lists of interpreters," Philpop executive director Cayabyab told the Inquirer. "The label presented its own list. They tried their best to meet halfway."
He continued: "It was quite hard to convince some contestants to reconsider their choices. But after the recording sessions, most of them were pleasantly surprised at how well their songs turned out."
Final 12
The final roster of interpreters is a mixture of established and upstart artists and bands, encompassing various genres:
Christian Bautista for Marlon Barnuevo's "Araw, Ulap, Langit"; Jose Manalo and Wally Bayola for Danny Brown's "Askal"; Sam Concepcion, Tippy dos Santos and Quest for Thyro Alfaro and Yumi Lacsamana's "Dati"; Ney Dimaculangan for Johnoy Danao's "Kung 'Di Man"; Sitti Navarro and Julianne Tarroja for Jungee Marcelo's "Pansamantagal"; Kimpoy Feliciano for Myrus Apacible's "Sana Pinatay Mo Na Lang Ako";
Yael Yuzon for Paul Armesin's "Segundo"; Karylle for Lara Maigue's "Sa 'Yo Na Lang Ako"; Ace Libre of Never the Strangers for Adriennne Sarmiento-Buenaventura's "Sometimes That Happens"; Banda ni Kleggy and Kean Cipriano for Raffy Calicdan's "Space"; and Six Part Invention for Kennard Faraon's "Time Machine."
Joey Ayala will perform his own entry "Papel," together with Gloc-9 and Denise Barbacena.
"A contestant interpreting his song may or may not work," Cayabyab said. "And it was good that all of them were open to suggestions and other ideas."
Cayabyab stressed that selecting the interpreters was not so much about securing the biggest names in the industry as finding singers who could best express and convey the stories and messages of the 12 entries.
"We wouldn't pick Lea Salonga, for example, just for the sake of having her on the show; or ask Julie Anne San Jose to perform something as mature as 'Tukso.' We want performers who would truly embody the songs," Cayabyab said. "If the singer is not right for the material, there won't be any connection."
Come finals night on Saturday at the Meralco Theater, it will be up to the singers to make the songs soar even higher.
The winner will take home P1 million, while the second and third placers will receive P500,000 and P250,000, respectively.
Cayabyab obviously can't play favorites. "But I'll be happy regardless of the result because all the entries are good and have great potential," he said. "Our goal is to produce a hit song. I admit we didn't achieve that with last year's contest. But I'm hopeful that we'll produce one this year."

Nikola Tesla was a major contributor to the electrical revolution that transformed daily life at the turn of the twentieth century. His inventions, patents, and theoretical work formed the basis of modern AC electricity, and contributed to the development of radio and television. Like his competitor Thomas Edison, Tesla was one of America's first celebrity scientists, enjoying the company of New York high society and dazzling the likes of Mark Twain with his electrical demonstrations. An astute self-promoter and gifted showman, he cultivated a public image of the eccentric genius. Even at the end of his life when he was living in poverty, Tesla still attracted reporters to his annual birthday interview, regaling them with claims that he had invented a particle-beam weapon capable of bringing down enemy aircraft.
Plenty of biographies glamorize Tesla and his eccentricities, but until now none has carefully examined what, how, and why he invented. In this groundbreaking book, W. Bernard Carlson demystifies the legendary inventor, placing him within the cultural and technological context of his time, and focusing on his inventions themselves as well as the creation and maintenance of his celebrity. Drawing on original documents from Tesla's private and public life, Carlson shows how he was an "idealist" inventor who sought the perfect experimental realization of a great idea or principle, and who skillfully sold his inventions to the public through mythmaking and illusion.
This major biography sheds new light on Tesla's visionary approach to invention and the business strategies behind his most important technological breakthroughs.

Product description
Geoff Hill and Colin O'Carroll take on Australia's legendary Highway 1 on their trusty Triumph motorbikes, circumnavigating the country from Adelaide to Adelaide. At over 15,000 miles long, Highway 1 is the world's longest national highway, covering practically every major inhabited part of Australia - capital cities, busy holiday resorts, dramatic coastlines, tropical forests, scrublands and deserts. Join Colin - who grew up in Australia wrestling sharks, snogging kangaroos and riding dirt bikes - and Geoff as they take on wombats, emus and a plague of giant grasshoppers in an adventure that takes them from Port Fairy - a little town that used to be known as Belfast - to Botany Bay, Sydney and across the wilderness of the Nullarbor desert. And follow the extraordinary story of Australia, told through a cast that includes Captain James Cook, Crocodile Dundee, countless immigrants and settlers, legendary explorers Robert Burke and William Wills, the folk hero Ned Kelly, and an unreliable camper van called Mathilda.

Ruggles Station Platform Project
Ruggles Station opened in 1987 and currently serves the MBTA Orange Line, commuter rail Providence/Stoughton, Franklin and Needham lines. Ruggles Station has a vibrant ridership population with 29 inbound and 49 outbound commuter rail trains passing through daily. The Ruggles Station Platform Project will include the construction of a new 800-foot long commuter rail platform to serve Track 2 and replacement of existing station elevators. With the addition of this new platform, more MBTA commuter rail passengers will be able to use Ruggles Station rather than bypassing the station and returning via the Orange Line from Back Bay Station, as they do under the current operation. In addition, the project will seek to improve accessibility, enhancing pedestrian safety, security and address the substantial interior and exterior repairs and improvements necessary to bring the facility up to standard. Overall, the project will enhance customer service and convenience for commuter rail riders destined for Ruggles Station and improves overall operations for both the MBTA and Amtrak on this section of the Northeast Corridor.
The MBTA held an Open House about the project on October 18, 2012. The meeting presentation can be found here.

ClassicsOnline Home » FLUTE (THE ART OF THE) > Review List
A master of the flute demonstrates the varied possibilities of his instrument. Wolfgang Schulz, principal flautist of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra since 1970, is one of the best known and most active flautists in the world, and has worked together with conductors such as Claudio Abbado, Leonard Bernstein, Karl Böhm, Lorin Maazel, Zubin Mehta, Seiji Ozawa, André Previn and Horst Stein. He is also the flautist of the Vienna-Berlin Chamber Music Ensemble. His repertoire includes works from the baroque to the modern and he has a particular interest in the music of contemporary Austrian composers. In the booklet Wolfgang Schulz describes the history, character, function and mythology of his instrument. This is the fifth part of a chamber music series with leading players of the Vienna Philharmonic.
The disc is issued in Naxos's on-going series featuring the principals of
the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, and features the highly distinguished Wolfgang
Schulz, the principal flautist with the VPO for the past thirty-seven years.
He has already made many discs as a soloist and has appeared on countless recordings
by the Philharmonic. He is here joined by his son, Matthias, born in 1972 and
Wolfgang's student at the Vienna University of Music and Performing Arts. Now
a member of the Vienna State Opera Orchestra, he is, like his father, involved
in teaching the next generation of flautists. They open with an adaptation of
a Mozart four-hand Piano Sonata, the two flutes required to show their agility
in the final movement, a feature that continues in the opening of Kuhlau's ornate
Grand Trio, a dialogue piece between the two flutes, the piano adding a backdrop.
Typically spiky and at times harmonically naughty, the Francaix is a quite lengthy
score for flute and alto flute. The Saint-Saens is a typically tuneful work
that blends the silvery sounds of the flute with the clarinet. Thus far it has
been ideal for Wolfgang, but the Poulenc has attracted so many recordings with
soloists who have that creamy sound and fast vibrato that sounds so 'French',
and I miss that element in his playing. The recording comes from Austrian Radio,
I have heard more convincing piano sound.

Create a Short Video by May 7 to Help Raise Awareness of the National Asbestos Problem
Wellesley, MA (PRWEB) May 5, 2010 -- Americans have less than 1 week to help draw national attention to asbestos, the toxic, and often deadly, substance considered "the largest manmade public health crisis in history" according to the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization (ADAO). Using a video camera, Flip camera, webcam or camera phone, anyone can create a 90-120 second video vignette to drive attention to the national asbestos problem and motivate Americans to join the movement to "Ban Asbestos Now."
"Ban Asbestos Now," is a campaign to build awareness of the continued use of asbestos in the United States. Each year, 2000-3000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer which is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. Asbestos has been banned in some 50 countries, however it still exists potentially everywhere throughout the United States, including the ceilings and floors of building that were built before 1980, duct tape, caulking, textured paints, car brakes and automotive parts, and even children's toys.
To enter the "Ban Asbestos Now" Video Search, create a short video that addresses questions such as, "Did you know asbestos is still legal in the US?", "Where can you find it?" and "Do you know what diseases it can cause?" The winning individual or team will be sent to the world famous 2010 Los Angeles Film Fes

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Travel Better.
Sunset Marquis
1200 N Alta Loma Road, West Hollywood, CA, USA
Neighborhood: West Hollywood
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Hard to believe this is West Hollywood. The newly and massively renovated Sunset Marquis is so exquisitely private, and the Bar 1200 so strict with its admissions, that one need never be reminded of the throngs of celeb-watchers and velvet-ropers that beset most of LA's other hot spots. This exclusive atmosphere (and possibly the state-of-the-art recording studio) is the key to the Sunset Marquis's rock-star appeal — though unlike some rock-and-roll hotels, this one's decor avoids retro kitsch and glam decadence, opting instead for an understated modern style, all clean lines and rich earth tones. And the low-lying two-story villa construction takes some of the fun out of heaving television sets out windows.
So as much as the buzz about this place may center on its music industry connections, this is no Chelsea Hotel, no debaucherous rock dormitory. Today's rock stars are as much traveling businesspeople as they are artists, so it's sensible that their favorite hotel would work well for their colleagues in other less glamorous industries. Soundproof windows ensure that unless you're cutting an album, you won't hear noise from the studio — or, for that matter, the two pools — and everything today's harried business traveler requires is close at hand, from 24-hour room service to a business center and airline ticket desk.
There's a spa, sensibly called SPA, and a restaurant called — you guessed it — RESTAURANT. Guests are ensured access to Bar 1200, and to be frank, that's the only way most of us could ever make it past the doorman — the benefit, of course, is that it's one place in Hollywood that you won't have to rub elbows with sightseers from the Valley or Orange County. The hotel is located on a quiet residential cul-de-sac off of Sunset Boulevard, and is very private indeed—once off the compound, however, all the sights (and shopping) of Hollywood are close at hand, including the bizarre and legendary nightlife of the Sunset Strip.
How to get there:
Sunset Marquis is a 30-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport, but the trip can take up to an hour, depending on traffic. Valet parking is available for $34 USD per night.

Suspected Islamic extremists shot and killed four people involved in education programs, including a man in charge of a program to feed poor students, in northeast Nigeria, officials said.
The killings happened on Monday on the outskirts of Bama in Borno State, a region long under attack by a radical Islamic extremist network known as Boko Haram. Authorities say the four were killed as they tried to flee the gunmen.
A military spokesman confirmed on Tuesday that the incident took place, while other State officials said they would attend a burial for the dead planned for Tuesday.
Boko Haram and other Islamic extremists have been waging a guerrilla campaign of shootings and bombings across northern Nigeria. The violence has killed at least 169 people this year alone, according to an Associated Press count.

NASA Uses Twin Processes to Develop New Tank Dome Technology
HAMPTON, Va., Dec. 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — NASA has partnered with Lockheed Martin Space Systems in Denver, Colo., and MT Aerospace in Augsburg, Germany, to successfully manufacture the first full-scale friction stir welded and spun formed tank dome designed for use in large liquid propellant tanks.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20081007/38461LOGO)
The NASA and Lockheed Martin team traveled to Germany to witness the first successful aerospace application of two separate manufacturing processes: friction stir welding, a solid-state joining process, and spin forming, a metal working process used to form symmetric parts.
The twin processes were used by MT Aerospace to produce an 18-foot-diameter tank dome using high-strength 2195 aluminum-lithium. The diameter of this development dome matches the tank dimensions of the upper stage of the ARES I launch vehicle under development by NASA, as well as the central stage of the European Ariane V launcher.
"This new manufacturing technology allows us to use a thinner, high-strength alloy that will reduce the weight of future liquid propellant tanks by 25 percent, compared to current tank designs that use a lower-strength aluminum alloy that weighs more," said Louis Lollar, project lead for the Friction Stir Weld Spun Form Dome Project at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.
The concave net shape spin forming process, patented by MT Aerospace, drastically simplifies the manufacturing of large tank domes and reduces cost by eliminating manufacturing steps, such as machining and assembly welding, that are required when manufacturing traditional gore panel — a pie-shaped section of the tank dome — construction domes.
"The success of this project is proof positive that when innovation, partnership and expertise are brought together, we can deliver new capabilities at lower cost with greater reliability for NASA and the nation's space program," said Jeb Brewster, project manager of the Friction Stir Welded Spun Formed Domes project at Lockheed Martin Space Systems. "This team has pushed the envelope by using existing commercial materials combined with cutting edge technology. The results provide the potential for a significant improvement over the current processes and materials being used today."
The spherical tank dome was manufactured from a flat plate "blank" made of the 2195 alloy. The blank was constructed by friction stir welding together two commercial off-the-shelf plates in order to produce a large starting blank, reducing the cost of raw materials. The welded plate blank was then spun formed to create the single-piece tank dome.
This is the first time this combination of twin manufacturing processes has been successfully applied to produce a full-scale 2195 aluminum-lithium dome.
"This achievement also demonstrates that international cooperation between the United States and Europe can achieve very promising and concrete results with mutual benefits for future space programs," said Judith Watson, Structures, Materials, and Mechanisms Project Manager for the Exploration Technology Development Program (ETDP) Office at NASA's Langley Research Center in Hampton, Va. "Lockheed Martin and MT Aerospace have set up a very efficient and effective development team."
Two additional, full-scale development tank domes are scheduled for manufacture and testing in coming months as part of the joint, two-year technology demonstration program.
NASA has invested in the Friction Stir Weld Spun Form Dome Project since 2006, which is managed by ETDP for NASA's Exploration Systems Mission Directorate in Washington.

10 injured as devotees jostle for 'Vaikuntha Dwara Darshan' tokens
Confusion reigned supreme following heavy demand for 'Vaikuntha Dwara Darshan' tokens leading to near-stampede causing injuries to 10 persons at the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam's e-darshan centre here on Tuesday.
As there was unprecedented interest among the devotees to visit Tirumala on the occasion of Vaikuntha Ekadasi due to the belief that darshan on the auspicious day would absolve their sins and help attain salvation, the TTD centre at MVP Colony saw hundreds of people forming a serpentine queue from Monday evening itself.
TTD officials based in the city had announced earlier that they would issue 1,800 tokens through the e-darshan counter, each costing Rs.300 for Vaikuntha Dwara Darshan on December 23 and 24.
Trouble sparked off when TTD officials issued tokens for 50 minutes in the afternoon and resumed it after a 30-minute break due to commotion and utter chaos in the queue. One of the officials came out and announced on the public address system that they would suspend issuing tokens if there was no order in the queue.
Y. Sampat Kumar, an employee of Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, blamed the TTD officials for the unruly behaviour of the token-seekers.
"They should have deployed police on time to ward off an unpleasant situation," he said. N. Varalakshmi, who goes to Tirumala regularly, said what happened on Tuesday was unfortunate and the stampede could have been prevented. To prevent stampede, police resorted to mild lathicharge. The situation went out of control with one group of pilgrims insisting on issuance of tokens as they were in the queue from Monday evening and the TTD insisting that it would give the tokens on 'first come first serve' basis.
After heavy jostling, some irate devotees at one point of time tried to gherao TTD officials and raised slogans against them for issuing tokens 'out of turn' to those known to them.
The last Vaikuntha Ekadasi was observed on January 5, 2012. It is a rare occurrence that two times Vaikuntha Ekadasi is being celebrated in one calendar year by allowing devotees to have Vaikuntha Dwara Darshan. The token quota was fixed for various areas by the TTD board.

Puss in Boots 3D Blu-ray Review
Reviewed by Martin Liebman, February 21, 2012
I was a bad kitty.
Cats are so much fun. Especially when they multiply. One becomes three, three sadly reduces to two, a stray third wins the heart, three may as well be four, four begets a fifth, and there won't be a sixth. One falls ill, two loves daddy and despises mommy, three hates all, four loves belly rubs, five finds trouble, one recovers to become a raving mad lunatic with a ravenous appetite, and three settles into a split personality that's two parts love and one part Satan. Then there's using the area beside the litter box as the litter box, vomiting on the tax returns, climbing on counters, shredding furniture, playfully or deliberately scratching humans (ahem, three), hiding when company arrives, beating on the bedroom door at all hours of the night, peeing on the bed when they're let in, running through open doors, begging for food, and always looking far too cute. Puss in Boots is the latest from DreamWorks Animation, and it's a cat lover's dream come true, whether for single cat families, multiple cat families, or anyone who loves cutting edge animation. It captures the heart of cat-dom with remarkable efficiency, but that's about the only time it's truly great. Puss in Boots is otherwise a fun but only serviceable animated movie that doesn't look or sound rushed, but its story plays as if a rough version of a primary draft. The end result is a movie that looks and sounds as good as anything out there and that plays with fine ideas that are spread a bit too thin even as the movie clocks in at a mere 80 minutes in length (minus credits). It should have been more, could have been less, but it won't leave many viewers purring with endless delight when it's all said and done.
At the spectacular Festíval del Fuego, the heroic feline Puss (voiced by Antonio Banderas) learns that a pair of larger- than-life outlaws -- Jack and Jill (voiced by Billy Bob Thornton and Amy Sedaris) -- have come into possession of magic beans, supposedly the same beans for which he has been searching half his life. It seems like a simple enough snatch-and-grab operation. Puss skillfully enters the Jack and Jill residence but his plans are thwarted by the arrival of a second cat burglar, a mysterious masked feline with moves to match Puss' and a cunning that knows no bounds. The operation is a failure; neither cat captures the beans and both barely escape with their lives. Puss learns that his rival is...a girl. She's Kitty Softpaws (voiced by Salma Hayek), a feline as devious as she is sexy. Puss is further surprised to learn that she's in cahoots with none other than Humpty Alexander Dumpty (voiced by Zach Galifianakis), his old schoolmate, once best friend, and long-ago traitor. Both see fault in the other following their last run-in with the law, but Humpty convinces Puss to join him and Softpaws on an adventure to not only steal the beans, but to plant them, climb the beanstalk into the clouds, and recover the golden goose to set themselves up for life. Can Puss trust his former blood brother? Is there really something atop the mythical beanstalk? Can they overpower the much larger and devious Jack and Jill? It's a good thing Puss has nine lives with which to find out.
It's a spinoff of the Shrek universe of films, so it's no surprise that Puss in Boots looks and sounds much like Shrek. Its animation is superb, on the same level as the amazing Shrek Forever After, that film pretty much the standard for non-Pixar digital moviemaking and, frankly, just as good as anything the "Big P" has ever put out. Indeed, Puss in Boots looks astonishing. There's a level of detail, scope, and authenticity that's nothing short of spectacular. Yet unlike Shrek Forever After -- or most any of those scenes from that series in which Puss appears -- Puss in Boots never really takes off, perhaps signaling that the character is best left to a supporting role rather than the center of his own feature film. That's not to say there isn't a lot to like about Puss in Boots -- there most certainly is -- but the end result feels rather sloppy, unable to walk that fine line so expertly traversed by the Shrek films whereby the plot is made largely of overused cliché but given new life through the eyes of unique characters plucked almost at random from the world of fairy tales. The primary plot elements in Puss in Boots feel largely tossed together with only little attention to flow or purpose. The movie aims for grand adventure and spectacle rather than a more cohesive story. Certainly the character development and humor are both strong, but all elements never quite come together as they should.
Indeed, the characters are what drives Puss in Boots. Puss is certainly a wide appeal sort, combining family-friendly "harmless" ferocity with his charming feline antics and an undeniable cuteness. A smooth talker and a Zorro-lite by trade with a knack for getting into and out of trouble, a reputation as a lady's man, and every bit the adventure hero his style suggests, the character is truly special and at home dueling with a foe or drinking milk, flashing his claws or getting what he wants with his wide-eyed kitty cat charm. Humpty Dumpty's character arc doesn't, at first, seem to lend itself all that well to the rotund shape that looks like an advanced version of the old "Sheldon" character from "U.S. Acres;" it's clear the filmmakers were aiming for something out of the ordinary, unassuming, unexpected to take on what is the most complex part in the movie, and for as odd as the character looks they've largely succeeded. Galifianakis' voice fits the character very well, though he sometimes sound a bit like Seth Rogen. The Jack and Jill characters are the biggest surprise, appearing not as children but rather a cross between adult humans and ogres (to keep on with the Shrek connections) who aren't remarkably developed but who at least appear menacing on the surface and somewhat goofy and funny behind the scenes as they're just as concerned about starting a family and caring for their pigs as they are battling Puss and keeping a firm grasp on the magic seeds. The hybrid Bond Girl/Batman Kitty Softpaws is something of a weak point, though, a fair character but not enjoying the purpose of a Humpty or the memorable cuteness of a Puss. The background characters share that same peasant "torch and pitchfork" rough and tumble look to them which, along with the movie's general design and feel, does help cement this as an extension of the Shrek universe rather than merely a standalone sideshow.
Though strongly-realized the characters may be, Puss in Boots stumbles through some slow stretches, unimaginative action, and flat humor. The jokes are best when in direct reference to the feline world; they're hit-or-miss, at best, elsewhere. The action is kinetic but largely replaceable, nothing audiences haven't seen before, even if the film does work in the whole beanstalk thing, Puss in Boots' representation thereof probably the best on-screen adaptation of that entity yet. The major plot twist comes as no surprise and is in fact absolutely predictable once the characters' histories are established, and indeed the entire plot arc is largely linear and by-the-book, the picture obviously counting on the characters, humor, and animation to sell the story rather than offer any sort of meaningful themes. Nevertheless, that absence of originality need be weighed against the fact that a movie like Puss in Boots is meant to be an entertaining vehicle for a particular audience. It will definitely entertain the kids, earn a few laughs from parents, and find some favor with cat people, but it lacks the subtle adult wit of Shrek or the universality of the average Pixar film. It's still a solid movie from start to finish, but chances are many will be left wanting a little bit more.
Puss in Boots 3D Blu-ray, Video Quality
DreamWorks scratches out a very strong Blu-ray 3D transfer for Puss in Boots. Needless to say, this presentation mimics all of the goodness from the 2D-only release, itself a spectacular triumph of Blu-ray video. Though as is sometimes the case, the 3D transfer loses just a touch in exchange for the added depth, which is true here. Fine detailing is extraordinary, but not quite as immediately recognizable as perfect. While textures like Puss' leathery hat, wood and stone, and Humpty's body retain the same intricate levels of digital craftsmanship, the image proves a hair darker in spots -- particularly in the already dimly-lit early sequences -- compared to the 2D version and, occasionally, those details become a little masked, maybe a touch muddled. Still, the image passes for extraordinary, with cat fur, desert terrain, and the like immaculately presented, the brighter scenes losing almost nothing to the 3D process. Likewise, colors are bold and steady, with Puss' orange fur coat, golden eggs, metallic armor, yellow chicks, and all sorts of earth tones appearing gorgeously balanced and true. Scant banding appears in trace amounts, not enough to cause alarm. Puss in Boots excels here, but how are the 3D elements?
Fortunately, Puss in Boots looks fantastic in 3D, and the movie plays nicely with the added dimension. Surely, the sense of true depth is the real key here, as it usually is with any good Blu-ray 3D release. There's a natural sense of space in just about all shots, save for the very darkest; whether across the room or across a sprawling desert, audiences will enjoy a firmer grasp on just where the characters are and how they're situated within their environments. Character size and volume are true as well, easily evidenced by every scene featuring the rotund Humpty, the egg-shaped character appearing perfectly round in three dimensions throughout the film. Many other shots prove spectacular. There are several low flyovers of terrain where the ground seems to stretch well beyond the back of the television, nearly giving the viewer the sensation of actually flying over it while looking into the distance. The film doesn't play with too many gimmick effects, but an assortment of gold coins flying about in slow motion in chapter eight, rain appearing to fall out of the screen on the way up the beanstalk, or a flying dagger that seems to start its journey outside of the screen and wind up inside of it will all dazzle. Unfortunately, crosstalk is a rather constant problem, but one that's not excessively intrusive. Mostly, it seems objects not the center of attention in any given scene are most susceptible. Overall, however, this is a glorious presentation that's amongst the better of the current Blu-ray 3D transfers on the market.
Puss in Boots 3D Blu-ray, Audio Quality
Puss in Boots purrs up a storm with a high quality Dolby TrueHD 7.1 lossless soundtrack. DreamWorks' audio presentation offers rich, lively music that plays with fantastic spacing, seamless clarity, and an immersive surround element. The track rarely fails to dazzle in all areas, music being only one. Natural ambience is precise and aids greatly in pulling the audience into the adventure. Whether chatter at a pub, light echoing, reverberating footsteps, crickets, or other subtle elements, this track proves capable of placing everything precisely and with attention to detail to match exactly the on- and off-screen action alike. Cat meows, purrs, and hisses are done very well and authentically. Action scenes are wondrously spaced and absolutely immersive, the track making fine use of the entire stage. Cannon fire, crumbling rocks, and other chaotic elements are handled crisply and with great clarity. The only downside is that bass lacks a heavier punch in a few instances, failing to provide that last little bit of oomph to truly make the effects more pronounced and dangerous. Otherwise, the track is immensely impressive, rounded out by clear and accurate dialogue.
Puss in Boots 3D Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Puss in Boots' Blu-ray 3D release contains all of the extras available on the standalone 2D release, all appearing on this set's 2D-only disc. The 3D disc includes Puss in Boots: The Three Diablos and a trailer for Madagascar 3, both, of course, in 3D.
Puss in Boots 3D Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Puss in Boots is a solid but slightly disappointing Shrek spinoff. The animation rocks and the characters are largely excellent, but the storyline is a bit thin and the jokes are at their best when playing on cat-isms, proving hit-or-miss otherwise. Still, it's a good, relatively clean, fun ride that should entertain the target audience and at least keep mom and dad halfway interested. This is best enjoyed as raw eye candy above all else; check out Shrek Forever After for a far more well-rounded fairy tale-gone-haywire animated adventure and for a movie that doesn't merely lump all its best moments into the trailer. DreamWorks' Blu-ray 3D release of Puss in Boots contains the same spectacular 7.1 lossless soundtrack and fun array of supplements both found on the 2D-only release, adding the short film and a trailer in 3D. The Blu-ray 3D transfer is superb, too, marred only by a bit of crosstalk. This is one of the better overall release of the year to date, even if the movie comes up a bit short of expectations. Recommended!

Fewer traffic accidents resulting in deaths and injuries: Heng Swee Keat
Published on Jan 4, 2014 12:45 PM
Road traffic accidents that resulted in fatalities and injuries dipped just under 6,000 cases between January and November last year.
This was about 11 per cent lower than the 6,612 cases over the same period in 2012. But despite efforts by the authorities to improve road safety around schools, there are still some accidents involving young children on the road, said Education Minister Heng Swee Keat on Saturday. "Every life lost is a tragic loss and we know that many of these accidents can be prevented," he added.
The minister was speaking at the launch of a community programme to promote road safety in Tampines. The initiative involved some 200 National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC) cadets from Tampines secondary schools and 100 People's Association (PA) grassroots leaders and volunteers, who fanned out in the estate to share tips about being a safe cyclist, pedestrian or passenger.
Saturday's event was part of the 'Spot It, Stay Safe Programme', which is the first collaboration between the PA, the executive committee of the Community Emergency and Engagement Committees Council and the NPCC. The PA plans to roll out the programme islandwide by next year and involve more uniformed groups.

CEU, St. Clare keep Naascu top 2 berths
FLASHY guard Samboy de Leon showed that he deserves such a name, banging in 24 points in Centro Escolar University's 82-51 blowout win over Our Lady of Fatima University yesterday in the National Athletics Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (Naascu) basketball tournament.
Named after PBA legend and former Letran Knights superstar Samboy Lim, the 6-foot-2 wingman paced the Scorpions who scored their ninth win in as many games before their thrilled schoolmates at CEU Manila Gym.
Defending champion St. Clare College employed a balanced attack in downing Rizal Technological University, 84-60, for its eighth victory against a single loss.
Starters Marte Gil, Dennis Santos and Elmer Managuelod chalked up 15 points each, while veteran Jayson Ibay added 14 for the Saints, whose only loss came at the hands of the Scorpions.
CEU and St. Clare brace for another showdown at the close of the eliminations on Friday at Makati Coliseum.
The Baby Scorpions also kept their record clean, blasting the Baby Phoenix, 71-51, for their seventh win. It was Fatima's third loss in seven games.
Christopher Bitoon came away with 19 points as the Baby Saints roared to 74-51 victory over the New Era Baby Hunters. St. Clare improved to 4-3, while NEU slumped to 1-6.

Melbourne Heart midfielder Josip Skoko has announced his retirement from professional football.
The 35-year old playmaker will play his final matches before calling quits on a highly-successful 16-year career at the end of the A-League season.
The 51-time capped Australian international, Skoko made his name in Croatia with Hajduk Split in the mid-to-late 1990s before enjoying stints with Belgium's Racing Genk and Turkey's Genclerbirligi.
He then went to England and spent about three years with Wigan Athletic between 2005 and 2008 whilst spending a short time on loan with Stoke City.
After that he returned to Split to play out his European career before coming back home to Australia where he joined the Heart for their inaugural A-League season.
Skoko said he just knows now is the right time to call it a day.
"I've decided to call it a day at the end of the season due to a combination of factors from old age to family reasons. Putting it all together, I feel like it is the right time to end my professional career and move on," he said.
"I've always said that I don't want to find myself in a position where I can't be giving it my best every week, and I feel that while I'm still contributing and playing some good football, it's time to hang up the boots."
Heart coach John van 't Schip, who has had just a small amount of time in charge of Skoko, said he can clearly see why the South Australian native made it so far.
"While I only coached Josip for a year, in that time, I have understood why he has had such a great career. He's a real professional, he loves football, and he's a purist," the Dutchman said.
"He still enjoys playing and I think that's the main reason why he still at this age is performing at a high level. Josip is a player who has grown as a person in the game; he experienced a number of different types of cultures, playing in Belgium, Croatia, Turkey and England.
"And you can see he brought this experience with him to our club, and especially for the young boys, he was a very good example to show what it means to be a professional football player."
Skoko will be involved in the Heart's last two matches of the season, with both being at home against Central Coast Mariners tomorrow night and Sydney FC next week, as they strive to push for a spot in the final six.

Re: Perkins 4.108M DIY Rebuild -- A Narrative
Chapter 10:
Heading Down the Back Stretch
Although some of you may have been worrying that I'd bailed on the project, I have not!
The work has been delayed by our recent cold snap. While I can function fairly well in colder temps, paint does not.
Here's the latest update.
As SJB suggested, I decided to seal the areas of the block and head with Glyptal. Lots of varying opinions out there in the interwebs about the wisdom, utility and benefit of doing this; some folks swear by it, others raise worries about the paint coming loose and plugging up the oil pump and/or oil galleys. Others raise worries about the paint's insulating properties retarding heat transfer from the oil out through the block and oil pan. What ultimately swayed me in favor was that it had been done to this engine before and it looked to be holding up just fine.
After taking an air gun to the block and head, I began by masking off the areas I wanted to keep clean. Now some of you may absolutely dread masking, because trimming the edges of masking tape with an Xacto knife or razor blade is a tedious affair -- it doesn't have to be.
First, clean your surface and apply the tape.
Next, run a round screwdriver shaft lightly along the edge of the opening. The pressure will cleanly cut through the tape and the excess can be pulled off.
Another tool that can be used is a ball peen hammer, just like you'd do to cut a gasket.
Here it is all masked.
I did have to fashion some plugs for the tappet bores and the fuel lift pump shaft. I used wooden dowels bulked out with tape. (No pics -- sorry)
Anyway, once it was masked off I then sprayed the bejeesus out of it with brake cleaner to wash off any remaining oil residue or other contaminants. After double checking to make sure the tape had not lifted I began to paint. Nothing fancy, I just went at it with a chip brush, and a couple of smaller art brushes I picked up at Michaels. Here's how she looks now.
A few comments about
. First, this is an alkyd enamel that was developed for use as an insulator for electrical coils and armatures. It has a very high resistance to heat, and plays well with oil. It's also pretty viscous -- 60% solids by weight. Unfortunately, after many, many hours of searching I've never been able to find any user instructions. The can itself has almost no instructions, other than generic warnings to "thin with proper thinner for spraying" and "use the right brush" for those who apply by brush.
I did two coats, about 90 minutes apart. This stuff skins over pretty quickly, but as thick as it is it will take a while to actually set up enough to apply another coat without disturbing the one below. I probably could have smoothed things out even more if I had applied a third coat.
For cleaning up a few spots where I did actually color outside of the lines, I used brake cleaner sprayed on a lint-free paper towel. It worked very well.
We're getting close to reassembly -- WOOHOO!
