Visual Remote for iPod debuts
Advanced Technetix has unveiled its Visual Remote, a device for adjusting an iPod without taking it out of a bag or pocket. Buttons allow users to navigate menus and song playback, via a backlit LCD screen that runs out to a pair of earbuds, according to Electronista. The device draws power from the iPod's battery rather than an external supply, and although the current Remote is wired, Technetix promises a wireless model in the near future (pricing and availability were unavailable).
Proof-of-concept Bluetooth exploit
Internet security and privacy firm Intego has released a security memo regarding a proof-of-concept exploit (site not updated), Inqtana.d Bluetooth, which provides attackers with a root account on affected Macs. The exploit, which has not yet been seen in the wild and is unable to compromise up-to-date installations of Mac OS X, is installed on a Mac OS X system via Bluetooth from a computer or PDA running Linux. Mac OS X 10.3 and Mac OS X 10.4 systems that are not up to date with Apple's latest security fixes are vulnerable, and Bluetooth must be active. Bluetooth file transfer need not be enabled, however, and the attacking computer must be within Bluetooth range. "This exploit is installed from a Linux system, and exploits an rfcomm security hole in Bluetooth software. Unlike previous versions of Inqtana malware, no user interaction is required."
BlockHeads Clash action game released
Outside The Box Software has released BlockHeads Clash, an action-based arcade game designed for up to four players.

Using your foursquare noggin, you can send foes tumbling or even break the very ground beneath them. The labyrinth's deadly hazards and obstacles present ever increasing danger, not to mention the enemies whose right-angled heads are bigger and deadlier than yours." The game is available for free (system requirements were unavailable).
Advanced Technetix Visual Remote for iPods

Sligh prepares electronics-ready furniture
Furniture maker Sligh recently announced home office workstations made to recognize the reality of increasingly device-laden users. The Family Communication Center, to be sold as a mahogany desk cabinet (pictured) or a black hutch, is designed with hidden connections for computers, including Ethernet, USB, and power cabling, as well as multiple recharging ports for cellphones and other portable devices. An iPod dock is built directly into the desk as well. Although neither desk will ship until the spring, Sligh says, the company is investigating several more modernized designs, such as one made from bamboo. The mahogany version is expected to retail for $2,945; the more exotic black variant will be available for $3,395.
Samsung SDC-K60 sports advanced features
Normally a minor player in digital cameras, Samsung has uncovered the SDC-K60, AVING reports. The camera is a barreless point-and-shoot that will nevertheless have 3x optical zoom and a 6MP CCD sensor. ISO sensitivity will extend to 1600, whereas many point-and-shoots stop at 800. Two variants of the camera will be available: the "plain" K60 (pictured) will come in three colors (red, silver, black) and have a 2.5-inch LCD screen, while the K65/DMB will have a 3-inch 16:9 screen and support DMB TV. Click below to see the latter.
Brionvega Cuboglass fashion TV
The Italian design firm Brionvega is now producing the Cuboglass, a style-oriented TV the company intends as both a showpiece and a functional screen. While the set is a conventional tube design, it takes advantage of this by blending the screen into a scratchproof glass cube; when turned off, the TV aspect of the design is virtually invisible. This transforms the set into artwork, says Brionvega. Accordingly, the Cuboglass is transportable and ships with an aluminum carrying case. The company has built the system for Europeans and includes the continent's SCART input alongside more universal RCA connections. Online retailer Singulier is selling the Cuboglass today for 950 Euros ($1,196 US).
Alienware DHS A Media Centers
In more Alienware news, the company is upgrading its Media Center PCs with the DHS A, says Sci Fi. Made to resemble an amplifier, the A will attempt to live up to the promise by supplying 1,000W of amplification. On the video end the system will be equipped with multiple HDMI connectors, as well as a hard drive that starts at 160GB but can be expanded to 1.5TB. An Athlon 64 X2 processor will run the content while being bolstered by AMD Live! features such as a sleep mode and 7.1 surround sound. DHS A machines will launch next year starting at a price of $1,000.
Alienware ships first laptop with 400GB storage
Alienware today said it has helped alleviate the common limitation of desktop replacement portables, a shortage of hard disk space, by introducing an update to its flagship 17-inch laptop. The newest edition of the Aurora m9700 features two 200GB, 4200RPM hard drives similar to those found in the new MacBook Pro. Though these drives are slower than lower-capacity models, the drives can be combined into a single RAID stripe for a contiguous 400GB of storage -- the most ever in a laptop, Alienware says. The company estimates that as many as 100,000 songs or 67 games could fit on an otherwise empty drive. The Turion 64-based computer remains a performance system and includes as many as two 512MB GeForce Go 7900 GS graphics chips. The refreshed m9700 customized with the 400GB option starts at $2,249 and is available in blue, green, or silver.
Panasonic intros 50-inch, 1080p plasma display
Panasonic has officially announced its first 50-inch, full HD plasma display. While luxury plasmas such as Pioneer's Pro models and Panasonic's own 65-inch screen have been capable of a native 1080p resolution, the TH-50PF9UK signifies the first time a 50-inch plasma has achieved this sharper image for well under $10,000, according to the company. As with many other high-end plasma models, this newest display is intended as the centerpiece of a custom home theater and eschews built-in speakers, a stand, and integrated TV tuners in favor of wall mounting. Notably, HD-capable input is limited to component and DVI ports; an adapter is necessary for HDMI-equipped movie players and consoles. Panasonic is readying the 50PF9UK for a November release at a price of $5,995.
"Image Moments" digital photo frame
Digital Foci today introduced its new redesigned "Image Moments" digital photo album frame, enabling users to display and share photos directly from digital camera memory cards on a selection of decorative interchangeable picture frames. Users can insert any digital camera card into Image Moments to view photos on the 8-inch color LCD screen, and the device includes an easel leg supporting either landscape or portrait positioning. Image Moments also allows users to create custom frames with its proprietary adapter ring design, according to Digital Foci. The company will begin taking pre-orders for Image Moments ($230) starting October 30th, with additional frames priced at $20 each.
Soltronix solar headphone radio
While solar-powered radios are common realities, Soltronix has just recently introduced a receiver that no longer requires an external solar cell. Its solar headphone radio mounts thin, flexible solar panels in the headband itself, recharging the battery without the risk of obstructing sunlight or the extra bulk of an external receiver. A single hour of sunlight can provide one to three hours of radio, Soltronix claims, and the device can build its charge even while it plays. A full charge lasts an estimated 20 hours; should the solar power deplete itself, a rechargeable AAA-sized NiMH battery can provide additional listening time. Select Solar and other British online stores can export the radio for �25 ($47 US).
Axxen i-egg audio player/speaker
Korean company Axxen has announced the i-egg, a digital audio player that also doubles as a pair of speakers, writes AVING. The egg "breaks" apart to create better stereo separation, and at the same time reveals a volume knob and an SD card slot. In addition to playing its own files, the speakers can also accept input from a PC. A USB port and a headphone jack are located on the back. MP3 and WMA files are supported. The player should ship in Korea sometime this month; click through to see an open i-egg.
Nokia 330 media player, GPS navigator revealed
Nokia is planning to release a scaled-down version of its 770 Internet Tablet, online sources have revealed. Known so far only as the Nokia 330, the handheld will trade the 770's emphasis on web browsing and communication for a greater media focus. Besides playing DivX videos, MP3 music, and photos, the device will also have a built-in GPS receiver for navigation on its smaller, 3.5-inch display. Little information is available beyond what has been revealed so far in leaked photography, say reports, though the official nature of the product shots and the accompanying feature set reveal an imminent Nokia 330 launch at a price far lower than that of its Internet-enabled predecessor. Click through for a full photo.
Primera ups Disc Publisher capacities
Primera Technology today introduced its ADL-Max Disc Autoloader, increasing disc capacity from 50 discs to 325 discs for the Bravo II and 100 discs to 350 discs for the BravoPro Disc Publishers and AutoPrinters. The ADL-MAX Disc Autoloader attaches to any of Primera's Bravo II or BravoPro Disc Publishers, utilizing robotics to transport discs from the four integrated input bins into as well as out of the burning and printing mechanisms of the Bravo II or BravoPro. With ADL-MAX, Bravo II's capacity increases from 50 discs to 325 discs, while BravoPro's capacity increases from 100 discs to 350 discs. The ADL-MAX Disc Autoloader is already shipping for $2,000.
Sprint broadband USB modem coming through Novatel
To support the spread of its EVDO Revision A service across the United States, Sprint will introduce its first mobile USB broadband modem in November, says Slashphone. The Novatel Ovation U720 will plug into any laptop's USB port, allowing wireless access to the Sprint Power Vision Network. Sprint is already selling PC Card modems under different pricing plans, with some being free or reduced in price if the user signs a Power Vision contract. The U720 is essentially a USB incarnation of the Merlin S720.
Brookstone Wireless Weather Forecaster
The popular retailer Brookstone today unveiled what it hopes is a definitive replacement for conventional thermometers. Similar to the Dashboard weather widget in MacOS X, the Wireless Weather Forecaster automatically obtains the latest five-day weather forecast for the user's city from AccuWeather, indicating both the temperatures and expected conditions. Where the device differs is its independence from computers, Brookstone says. The forecast is obtained solely through radio signals, eliminating the need to synchronize with a computer; an intelligent location finder automatically sets the weather to the nearest known city and includes four nearby cities' weather information accessible through a simple dial control. Owners can also subscribe to a paid premium service that will let the Forecaster display the weather in more distant areas. Brookstone has already begun shipping the device for $85 through its website.
Diabetes management app goes Universal
ToThePoint Software today released 1-2Tracker 1.0, a re-design of its original Type2Tracker application designed specifically for people with Diabetes. The software allows users to track and graph blood glucose tests as well as weight on a daily basis. 1-2Tracker helps people with diabetes keep food and exercise logs via a journal, storing links to diabetes-related resources such as websites and documents for later retrieval. The update runs natively on Intel-based Macs as a Universal Binary, offering numerous additional features and bug fixes. The new release stores medication, exercise, and food logs in a separate drop-down window, and adds the ability to archive data. 1-2Tracker 1.0 requires Mac OS X 10.0 or later, and is available for $15.
Sunlike GPS01 handles audio, video, phone calls
GPS units with color touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, but few if any have as many features as the GPS01, being produced by Hong Kong company Sunlike. Aside from managing GPS functions the unit is also capable of playing MP3 and WMA music files, as well as AVI, ASF and WMV videos. Media is loaded through a CF Type II card slot. The most significant aspect to the 01 however is the inclusion of a cellphone, which will let you send and receive calls through GSM. This ties in with GPRS (900/1800/1900) data service. The one problem with the product is availability -- at present, the only place to order it is from international traders Alibaba, who don't quote a price on their website.
iLuv ships i9200 speaker system
iLuv has begun shipping its i9200 speaker system. The main receiver features four vertically-mounted CD loaders and a CD changer, allowing audiophiles who prefer physical media to quickly exchange discs while keeping favorites close at hand, according to Electronista. Less conventional listeners can also play MP3 CDs or connect an iPod via a universal dock that supports all dockable iPods. The i9200 also integrates an AM/FM alarm clock radio, and includes auxiliary inputs for playing music from other audio devices. iLuv is shipping the i9200 in black or white for $250.
Linutop: inexpensive, diskless Linux micro PC
A group of developers has produced an early version of what it says is an ideal computer for Internet caf�s, schools, and other environments where Internet access is the primary need. The Linutop is a compact, Linux-based desktop with only the most essential components. Instead of an internal hard disk or optical drive, the Linutop relies on 512MB of flash memory preloaded with Linux and free software such as AbiWord for office work, Firefox for browsing, and GAIM for instant messaging. Expansion is limited to four USB 2.0 ports, audio input and output, Ethernet, and VGA; the computer can also use a WiFi adapter, according to the designers. While performance is modest with only an AMD Geode procesor and 256MB of RAM, the low power and fixed storage of the Linutop ensures completely silent use. The developers haven't yet priced the system, though they anticipate an extremely low cost for individuals and institutions alike.
Nokia N75 headed to Cingular
Americans longing for the high-end phones available in Europe and Asia may be glad to see these photos, which show a Cingular-branded version of the Nokia N75. Nokia has said in the past that the phone would be coming to the US in the fourth quarter of 2006, but irockash's post is the first news of a narrowed time and provider window. The poster's source claims a November timeframe. The N75 has a number of features, such as the Symbian OS, a 2MP camera, a 320x240 screen, and up to 2GB of memory through microSD. Bluetooth and EDGE/GSM are built-in, as are external buttons for music playback. Supported sound formats include AAC, eAAC+, M4A, MP3, and WMA. Click through to see the forum photos.
'Splash-proof' Hydra takes on Nano
Ultra has previewed the Hydra, a new splash-proof music player designed to withstand use at the beach or by the poolside that stands to compete with Apple's iPod nano. The new player is encased in rubber trim with a tight seal to prevent the occasional contact with water from damaging the electronics inside, and the rubber serves as a shock absorber when the player is accidentally dropped. The Hydra features MP3 and WMA playback, FM radio, and voice recording capability. The device is powered solely by rechargeable AAA batteries for up to eight hours of playback, according to Electronista, and is compatible with both Macs and Windows systems with drag-and-drop music transfers. The Hydra is expected to ship in 1GB ($40) and 2GB ($60) capacities next month. In contrast, Apple's 2GB second-generation iPod nano is priced at $150.
Objective-Basic combines BASIC, Cocoa
KBasic Software today released Objective-Basic 1.0, a new development tool for Cocoa that combines BASIC with Cocoa. The application serves as an integrated development environment (IDE) with support for modern BASIC syntax, an interface designer, and the ability to extend native Objective-C classes using inheritance. Users can access Objective-C with C and Carbon or Cocoa to create small and fast native executables without runtime dependencies as Universal Binaries. The software comes with complete documentation, and offers truly Objective-C object orientation as well as backward support for Objective-C and C. Objective-Basic 1.0 Personal edition is available for free, while the Professional version ships for $35. Both versions require Mac OS X 10.4.5 or later.
iLuv i9200 four-CD and iPod stereo speakers
Catering to both traditional and modern listeners, iLuv recently began shipping its new i9200 speaker system. The main receiver contains four vertically-mounted CD loaders and a CD changer, allowing audiophiles who prefer physical media to quickly exchange discs while keeping favorites close at hand. Less conventional listeners, however, can also play MP3 CDs or connect their iPods via a universal dock that supports all dockable iPods, according to iLuv.

ASUS O2 XDA Graphite phone approved by FCC
An ASUS phone will make a rare appearance in the US, according to a new FCC filing. The document reveals that the O2 XDA Graphite, a slim candybar phone, has recently been approved by the American testing agency. The handset is focused on phone use but runs Windows Mobile 5 and should support most smartphone software that isn't heavily dependent upon a keyboard. The O2 XDA will be relatively advanced but is not expected to be a breakthrough device: a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, and a 2.2-inch screen are increasingly standard features in newer cellphones. Music support is equally welcome with MP3, WMA, and WAV playback for songs stored on microSD cards. However, an unusual element of the filing is the device's support for UMTS mobile broadband, a technology normally found only in European phones. While the feature may be disabled for its American release, its presence may point to the O2 XDA's use as apart of T-Mobile's American UMTS service set to begin in 2007. ASUS has not officially announced the phone for the country. Larger photos are available after the jump.

The Checkout public beta requires Mac OS X 10.4.6 or later (pricing was unavailable).
Ricoh produces 10th-anniversary GR camera
Ricoh is producing a special Commemorative Model of its GR Digital camera, meant to promote the 10-year history of the GR line. This edition will have an 8MP sensor with a fixed-mount 28mm lens. The change most obvious to newcomers will be the shell art, designed by Japanese illustrator Katsuya Terada. The shell will be enveloped in a blue sky motif with stylized angels in select portions. Only 1,000 cameras will be available when the Commemorative Model ships on November 24th. Pricing and availability have yet to be mentioned however, so it's unknown whether the camera will make it to North America.
Orange Bluetooth stereo speakers
British cellphone carrier Orange has today partnered with stereo manufactuer Acoustic Energy to produce an Orange-labeled Bluetooth speaker set that can connect wirelessly to most Bluetooth cellphones or any device that fits the A2DP audio profile. The stereo, known only as the Bluetooth stereo loudspeaker system, produces 20 watts of power through two satellites that can either be separated from the main receiver for an improved stereo effect or remain attached for a more compact shape. An auxiliary input is included as a fallback for wired music players. Orange plans to sell its Bluetooth loudspeakers by the end of the month for �90 ($169) after tax.
MATLAB beta comes to Intel Macs
The Mathworks has released Matlab beta with support for Intel-based Macs, bringing support for Apple's latest systems for the entire Matlab and Simulink families -- with the exception of Virtual Reality Toolbox. Matlab is a high-level language and interactive environment that enables users to perform computationally intensive tasks faster than with traditional programming languages such as C, C++, or Fortran. Matlab integrates with the M-Lint code analyzer to provide continuous code checking, and supports regular expression features such as evaluation of Matlab expressions to perform dynamic matching or replacement of text. The beta software requires Mac OS X 10.4.7 or later with at least 510MB of memory and the X11 X server for Mac OS X.
Quadrium flame grows "flame fractals"
Gandreas Software has released quadrium flame, an application designed to create and animate "flame fractals." The software combines a wide variety of mathematic transformations with an interface that allows users to actually "grow" an image, according to Gandreas. Users interactively build an image by combining 24 different transformations and attractors, including support for 3D transformations. Quadrium flame provides live feedback as users directly manipulate the flames, and supports warping images with 37 different topologies which are usable globally or on a per-flame basis. The application can color each flame individually or as a gradient with five different schemes, and offers a gradient editor for customization of flame gradient color. Quadrium flame is available for $40, and requires Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.
Hydra water-resistant MP3 player
Ultra has just previewed a new, splashproof music player that the company boasts can withstand use at the beach or by the poolside. Encased in rubber trim, the Hydra is sealed tightly to prevent the occasional contact with water from damaging the electronics inside. The trim also helps the jukebox better-resist the drops and scratches common to everyday use, Ultra adds. As a player, the Hydra has features relatively common to inexpensive flash devices, such as MP3 and WMA playback, FM radio, and voice recording. Power is supplied solely by rechargeable AAA batteries for a maximum of 8 hours. Compatible with both Macs and Windows PCs through its support for drag-and-drop music transfers, the new player ships in 1GB ($40) and 2GB ($60) versions next month.
Annoture bridges Aperture, iView
Tow.com has released Annoture 1.0, a metadata bridging solution for Aperture and iView MediaPro software that enables users to transfer annotations between iView MediaPro catalogs and Aperture projects. The update adds support for iView 3.x and Aperture 1.5, offering German localization as well as speed improvements when copying from iView to Aperture. Annoture can confirm before copying annotations, ignore file extensions when copying annotations from iView to Aperture, and overwrite existing annotations in the destination image with those of the source image. Annoture 1.0 ($15) requires Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later, Aperture 1.5 or later, and iView Media Pro 2.6.4 or later.
AMD, ATI plan "Fusion" hybrid CPU and GPU
Having formalized their merger today, AMD and ATI have also announced that the combined company will be working on a CPU with a built-in graphics processor. In contrast to current integrated chipsets, which are typically soldered into the mainboard and more closely resemble stand-alone cards, the new AMD concept, codenamed Fusion, would merge the circuitry for graphics processing with the CPU core itself. This will improve the performance per watt of later CPUs, AMD argues. The tighter integration would also significantly improve the performance of normally slow integrated graphics, as the delays in sharing graphics data with the CPU or system memory would be dramatically reduced. However, AMD has said that it doesn't intend to lock out other graphics options and will still include PCI Express slots for standard video cards, including those from its former ally NVIDIA. Fusion processors should ship in production form by late 2008 or early 2009, according to AMD.
New HP iPaq smartphone for Cingular
Relatively dormant as a smartphone developer, HP on Wednesday introduced a new iPaq phone to the US through the cellular service provider Cingular. The xw6920 series is designed as a portable office, says HP, and includes the connection options to follow suit: in its Cingular guise, all 6920 models will have support for EDGE and GPRS mobile Internet, Bluetooth, WiFi, and a GPS receiver. Two versions accompany the introduction. The xw6925 incorporates a 1.3-megapixel camera for photos and videos; the base xw6920 goes without this feature both to save costs and to be accepted in high-security offices. Both are available today directly from HP; Cingular's business unit is expected to offer models soon starting at $360 with a two-year contract.
Apple's Intel Xserves slip to mid-Nov
Apple's new Intel-based Xserve workstations, announced in August, are now available for pre-order at Apple's store, but are not expected until mid-November. Originally expected to ship in October, Apple's Xserves are used in small business and to build many of the world's top supercomputers.

A version without graphics is $50 less. The new Xserve also offers two open eight-lane PCI Express slot for dual Gigabit Ethernet ($199), U320 SCSI card ($199), or 2Gb Fibre Channel ($499) expansion options. Apple also offers a second hot-swappable 650 watt power supply option for $199,.
Samsung XL20: computer display with LED backlight
Samsung has quietly unveiled a new computer LCD which marks a first in color accuracy. The SyncMaster XL20 is the first desktop screen to incorporate an LED backlight. The more natural color tone and much more even illumination greatly increases the overall color gamut to a level useful for artists and photographers, Samsung says. Over 114% of the NTSC television standard's range is reproducible, and the Adobe RGB color palette is properly supported; this allows even the more difficult emerald green and dark purple hues captured by many DSLR cameras to be shown faithfully, according to the company's claims. Appropriately, the XL20 ships with a hood to shelter the image from nearby lighting and has inputs for both DVI-I (backwards-compatible with VGA input) and DVI-D (pure digital) video sources. A USB hub is also built-in. No pricing or availability has been announced.

iPod will dominate Zune, cell phones
Microsoft's forthcoming Zune player will not significantly impact Apple's iPod market share, according to a new report. Market research firm JupiterResearch, which released a new report this week, also concluded that mobile phone players were not a threat to Apple's iPod dominance because most customers were not interested in wireless music downloads and said that handheld media player shipments are expected rise nearly triple in the next five years. Based on survey and its own analysis of the market, research firm JupiterResearch on Tuesday said that Apple's iPod won't lose significant market share in the next 12 to 18 months even as Microsoft introduces a competing music player.

Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu

The 46th official Apple store in what the company calls the "Greater China" region will open at 10AM local time in Hong Kong's New Town Plaza in the Sha Tin district on Thursday, June 30, according to a new page on Apple's retail website. Despite slowing growth due to economic turmoil in China, the country is still Apple's fastest-growing market. The new story will be the fifth for Hong Kong, a lucrative market for Apple thanks to the high concentration of wealth there and a thriving "gray" market. Normal store hours for the new store will be 10AM to 10PM every day. http://apple.co/291diaT
Apple Music bug bites very short songs
There appears to be a reproducible bug in the current version of iTunes -- version 12.4.1, running on OS X 10.11.5, both the current non-beta versions of the respective software -- that causes a streamed song to become "stuck" in endless buffering if the streamed item just before this happened was 60 seconds or less in length. The problem appears to stem from code in iTunes that signals the next track to start downloading one minute before the currently-playing track is done, and thus songs shorter than one minute don't trigger the download. Locally-stored music is unaffected by the bug, and the problem does not appear to exist in either the macOS Sierra developer beta or versions of iTunes earlier than 12.4, and does not affect the iOS Music app at all. http://bit.ly/291cN0l
Walmart Pay expands to 15 states
Walmart, one of the key progenitors of the failed CurrentC mobile payment system that was distinguished from Apple Pay by its ability to collect and share customer financial and buying data among its participants, has expanded the soft rollout of its alternative solution "Walmart Pay" to an additional 15 US states following a pilot program in Arkansas and Texas last month. Walmart continues to resist adding Apple Pay. The system, built into the Walmart app for iOS and Android, works with a complicated system of the camera scanning a purchase code at the register, then generating a QR code which is then scanned by the register. The system is available now in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, DC. http://apple.co/28SqZfu

Motorola Razr i announced: 2GHz Intel Atom processor, Android ICS, edge to edge display
As expected, today Motorola and Intel have officially announced their first smartphone.
Called Motorola Razr i, the new handset is nothing else than a Razr M that swapped the dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm processor with a 2.0GHz Intel Atom one (single-core). This being said, the Razr i looks exactly like the Razr M, and has the same set of features (if we don't consider the processor): 4.3 inch edge-to-edge Super AMOLED qHD display, splash-guard coating, Kevlar back, HSDPA, aGPS, Wi-Fi 802.11a/g/b/n, NFC, 8MP rear camera with HD video, VGA front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal memory, MicroSD card support, and a 2,000 mAh battery.
The Razr i will be launched running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, but it's going to get an update to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The black version of the handset should be available starting October in the UK, France, Germany, and Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Mexico). A white version will be released in select markets later.
Motorola didn't say how much the Razr i would cost. Until pricing details show up, you can see the new Razr in the promo video below:

Gardening as an act of revolution? Believe it. Rogue planters push the law to sow the city.
Guerilla gardener "Scott" stops for a minute to lo(o)k over his median garden along Loynes Drive in Long Beach May 13, 2008. Scott has been tending the median garden since the 1990's, planting succulents from his own home garden.
Some may ask if I approve of this outrageous and illegal and highly dangerous activity.
I do approve. Here, I wrote a poem about it:
Gardens appear
plantings in medians
trees in abandoned lots
making fresh air

College Hockey:Clarkson President Demands Apology Over Bertagna Letter
The situation surrounding the termination of Mark Morris at Clarkson has taken another step.
In a letter to the editor of the Potsdam-Massena Daily Courier-Observer on Dec. 3, 2002, American Hockey Coaches Association Executive Director and Hockey East Commissioner Joe Bertagna stated his displeasure at the termination of Morris.
"It is clear that forces at work on the Clarkson campus wanted hockey coach Mark Morris removed all along and the incident that took place at Cheel Arena on Nov. 2 gave Clarkson officials the chance to do just that," Bertagna wrote.
Bertagna questioned why Morris was targeted and then asks why no action was taken against Zach Schwan.
"What is not clear to us is why this successful coach was so targeted and why no action was taken against the student-athlete that initiated the physical confrontation that sparked this incident," Bertagna said. "This student was even allowed to play while Coach Morris was placed on administrative leave.
"The nation's hockey coaches can only infer that Clarkson President Denny Brown deems it acceptable for a 21-year old athlete, in peak physical condition and wearing full protective equipment, to take an unprovoked run at a coach twice his age, wearing only sweats."
— Clarkson president Denny Brown
He then called the actions taken a "slap" to all amateur coaches.
"The lack of an appropriately measured response against the student-athlete is a slap at amateur coaches across the country, particularly those working at the intercollegiate level."
Today, Brown responded to Bertagna's letter with a letter addressed to Bertagna, but released to the media.
Brown states that Bertagna does not know all the facts and demands a retraction and apology.
"I am writing to express Clarkson University's indignation with the unfounded allegations about Clarkson's termination of hockey coach Mark Morris in a letter to the editor of the Courier-Observer newspaper," said Brown. "It is particularly disturbing that you would make such statements on behalf of your national organization when you are not aware of the facts of the situation and made no effort to contact Clarkson to determine the facts.
"I ask that you retract your false statements and apologize in a letter to me with a copy to that newspaper and any other individuals or media to which you made those allegations."
Brown then clears the air with the results of the investigation that Clarkson conducted.
"In light of the innuendo and rumors that have been appearing in the media, I feel it is necessary to provide clarification about the termination of Mark Morris. Although we normally do not like to carry on conversations such as these in a public forum, since you aired your false statements in the media, we are also sharing this letter with the media in order to assist with clearing up the misinformation.
"As the University has said on earlier occasions, the statements that we received from six witnesses to the incident on November 2 contradict the account Mr. Morris has given after his termination.
"The witnesses provided written and signed accounts that were consistent: the player made light contact with Mr. Morris on two occasions while performing 'rub-offs.' The player did not check Mr. Morris into the boards and was not more forceful than was typical for those games. After the first rub-off, Mr. Morris commended the player, saying that was the type of aggressive play he wanted from his players.
"Mr. Morris reacted to the second rub-off in a way that shocked all those present — after the rub-off was concluded and the player was skating away, Mr. Morris hit the player in the face and neck with the stick, lifted off the player's helmet with the stick, and hooked his stick in the player's genital area, pulling the player towards him, all the while shouting obscenities. Another coach separated Mr. Morris from the player. The player never fought back, and after that left the ice."
Brown went on to restate that Morris never participated in the investigation, despite the University's urging, and stood by his decision to terminate Morris.
He closed his letter to Bertagna by once again asking for a retraction and apology.
"I hope that in the future you will be more prudent about spreading false allegations regarding situations of which you have no direct knowledge," said Brown. "I anticipate your retraction and apology."

College Hockey:Hockey Hopes Revived at North Dakota State
FARGO, N.D. — Plans for North Dakota State to start a men's and women's ice hockey program beginning in 2002-03 have been revived, according to an article in The (Fargo) Forum today.
According to the article, Fargo developer Jim Roers has stepped forward and announced plans to privately fund a new 3,500-seat on-campus arena. The arena, which would host the women's hockey team, local youth teams, and serve as the men's practice facility, would be adjacent to the current Bison Sports Arena. Estimations place the cost at $8 to $10 million.
The men's team would actually play its games at the nearby Fargodome, an 18,500-seat facility that houses the NDSU football team, concerts and other events.
Hockey at NDSU was put on hold after taxpayers rejected a $40 million, publicly-funded facility during a referendum last spring. That plan would have imposed a half-cent sales tax on state residents, and failed by a 62-37 percent margin.
Roers has met with school president Joseph Chapman and athletic director Bob Entzion. According to the paper, the two sides have discussed a variety of issues, including what percentage NDSU can contribute to the project.
The article lists four of Chapman's main concerns: that it doesn't take away money from other programs; that it include both men's and women's hockey; that it will be self-supporting financially; and that student concerns will be addressed.
"I've made no secret about it," Chapman said to The Forum. "I think it would be good for NDSU, North Dakota and Fargo. I'm real interested to see what they'll come up with."
Roers is looking to work on the details during the winter, and is optimistic about breaking ground by next summer.
A number of obstacles still remain, however, including, not just the obvious funding issues, but NCAA issues as well. NDSU, a Division II institution, is looking to be a Division I hockey program, but the NCAA currently has a moratorium on programs changing classifications.

With small business videos becoming extremely popular, companies that may not have been traditionally at the forefront of marketing creativity are now embracing this new strategy. In this post, I have selected three videos from within the manufacturing industry that I believe touch on some key factors that companies can use. These factors, however, are applicable to all companies no matter what industry you are in. If you are selling products to buying customers, think about what is working well for your business. Have you got loyal customers? Why not try and get some customer testimonials? If your company has been around for a long time, how about featuring some of your long serving staff or highlight some company traditions? If your products are handcrafted or manufactured in your home company, focus in on that patriotic spirit and promote your unique handmade goods.
These are just some simple ideas that can help you pinpoint the type of video you can create for your own company. The companies below have taken on some of these ideas and have identified and highlighted their own business values and beliefs. Plus the videos are really engaging and beautifully produced.
Kindred – Custom Snowboard (Design Focused)
If you are designing and building custom handmade products, the time and effort invested in the manufacturing process can be painstaking. Not only that, the expertise and skill it takes to combine all these elements together can be immense. One company who has really captured this experience in a video is Kindred. Kindred creates custom and limited series snowboards. In this video, we see the entire creation process from start to finish.
The video length is longer then what would be generally recommended for a business video, however with such an extensive design and so many hand-crafted elements, the video really captures the essence of the whole creation process.
With various shot types from close-up, medium and long-range and constant changing of angles, the video keeps the viewer engaged and enthralled. As there is no voice-over, it was really up to the director to capture all the necessary footage. It is critical for a shoot like this to have a storyboard and overall plan, so you can keep track of all the shots to be taken. The soundtrack also works really well and the folk-style country song adds to flow and harmony to the overall video.
Rada Manufacturing (Patriotic Values)
RADACutlery have really focused in on their core value proposition. They quickly let you know they are an American company that produces 100% American Made products.
I think it would be fair to say you would be hard pushed to find a more patriotic video than this. But hey, why not be proud of where you are from and that you manufacture your own products in your own country.
An aspect of the video I like is that they constantly reaffirm their values and goals with key statements on images throughout the video. By interviewing and focusing on the staff, one gets the feeling of a family orientated workplace and allows the viewer to connect with the company. With regards to the video production, the director and editor have stuck to some simple rules that anyone can follow (even novice filmmakers). Some of these basic rules include the "rule of thirds", simple "J and L cuts" and having lots of b-roll footage (fill shots). Finally, always remember to include a call-to-action either at the start and end of the video so potential customers know how to find your products or contact you.
Smith & Rodgers (Continuing Tradition)
Smith & Rodgers, from Glasgow, have been around since 1877 and are obviously doing something right having been around for so long. When I watched this video for the first time, there was something I really liked about it but could not put my finger on. Perhaps it seems like an obscure business, maybe it's the footage of the old vintage equipment or that there is no soundtrack, only the sound of the machines working. Yet, the video is strangely captivating.
I believe this video is proof that any type of small business, in any industry, can create a polished (excuse the pun), engaging video.
I think the element they have really nailed in this video is the script. It is short and concise but gets across all the important relative points. We quickly learn that they manufacture 60% of their own products, have a trade counter open to the public, offer a shade matching service which gives them a competitive advantage over their rivals, as well as offering french polishing courses to the general public. Having a clearly defined script and storyboard, you will be putting the correct building blocks in place for a successful business video.

Solstice Institute
A Child
Can Tell holds the promise of spontaneity,
hope in the face of uncertainty, and challenges
of creating deliberate art from random pallets.
times it is the medium itself that sparks
an idea. For instance, I really had no particular
fascination with butterflies. I occasionally
entertained the thought that they should
be larger, when a friend introduced me to
a paper dyeing process that screamed to
me, "Butterfly wings...big, big butterfly
some cultures the butterfly represents rebirth;
and after undergoing several epiphanies in my
own life, my desire to become an artist was also
being reborn. I liked the idea of a butterfly
with it's vulnerable beauty captured inside the
bounds of a predator much stronger than itself.
I thought the image reflects how often, simple
beauty in our everyday existence is brutally manipulated
by harsh and ugly elements surrounding it.
dyed paper was also used as a "skin"
with my lizard series. After each lizard was hardened,
sanded and primed with various colors, they were
covered with dime to quarter size pieces of dyed
paper, each hand torn and fitted to create a multitude
of hues and shapes on each lizard. I wasn't trying
to render any certain kind of species, but to
give them the human characteristic of attempting
to understand the surrounding environment. My
personal favorite is "Same Souls, Separate
Ways", which represents losing touch with
good friends with the passing of time, perhaps
as inevitable as the tides of change that consume
us. The lizards are seated inside a hand-made
frame with a three inch profile to protect them
from being damaged from my own clumsiness as well
as any other onlooker as graceful as myself.

I have Ubuntu 12.04 and also downloaded Gnome desktop.
Is recovering from the recycle bin/rubbish bin/trash can available with Gnome or not?
I get conflicting answers about this from Forum search and "Answers"
Some say you can find it in "local" but I can find no local file where it should be.
One post says navigate to ~/.local/share/Trash/ but I cannot find "local".
The only way I can find anything like this is Places>Computer>File System>usr>local>share but "share" contains no trash folder.
Is "~" the same as user name?
I am the only user on this pc, is that why I can't find it?
Others say you have to download Gnome Tweaks. What I am looking for is the same in Gnome as there is in Unity, a trash can that you can open and restore trashed items from, but I don't seem to have it in Gnome, however if it is there somewhere I would rather find it than download Gnome Tweaks.
Also what is the correct term? Recycle bin, rubbish bin or trashcan? On my Ubuntu 12.04 when deleting it is referred to as "the rubbish bin" but no-one else seems to call it that, is it because I opted for English Language UK rather than US?

After 20 fabulous years of kicking-off Atlanta's fall social season with style and raising approximately $10 million for it's beneficiaries, Jeffery Fashion Cares has rightfully earned it's spot as the Southeast's premiere charitable fashion event. To celebrate 20 years of shining a light on worthy causes while bringing a taste of international style to our hometown, Jeffrey Kalinsky, Fashion Cares founder and owner of two eponymous boutiques in Manhattan and Atlanta, and this year's event chairs, Lila Hertz, Jeffrey McQuithy and Louise Sams, are putting the finishing touches on what is sure to be the most memorable Jeffrey Fashion Cares to date.
Taking place on Monday, August 27,2012, this year's event also marks a move to a fabulous new location for Fashion Cares. Attendees will be spellbound by marble floors and floor to ceiling walls in the lobby of the American Cancer Society Center designed by architect John Portman and located in the heart of downtown. This dramatic setting will provide the perfect backdrop for a runway overflowing with the latest looks by designers like Jason Wu, Alexander Wang, Lanvin, Dries Van Noten, Celine and Balenciaga, to name a few.
While the fashion, both on the runway and in the front row, is enough of an incentive to mark your calendar, let's not forget that Jeffrey Fashion Cares Atlanta, and New York, is a fashion show second and one of the largest combined AIDS and breast cancer benefits in the country first. Last year's sold out event alone raised $630,000 for it's beneficiaries. According to event founder Jeffrey Kalinsky, "As I look to our 20th anniversary of Fashion Cares Atlanta, I cannot help but think of all the people who have helped us contribute approximately 6 -7 million dollars to combat AIDS and breast cancer. These causes are near and dear to my heart as so many men and women that I know and love have been affected." For this reason, this year's event will once again be benefiting the Atlanta AIDS Fund and Susan G Komen for the Cure, Greater Atlanta Affiliate.
So let the search for the perfect outfit begin, because you only have a few months to get your look together for this highly anticipated event.

It feels like just yesterday Avery was born. But is wasn't. It was just yesterday that she took her first steps into toddlerhood.
My little girl is officially a walker.
With the encouragement of her big sis, she walked up and down the hallway as proud as could be that she was able to move those two little feet.
One after the other, she took those steps with uneasiness, excitement, and pride.
And I couldn't be more proud.
All the details on the first moment's of Avery walking are up on Babble today!

Khamenei and Netanyahu Reach Agreement: No Deal Better than Bad DealThursday, April 9th, 2015
Who said Iran and Israel can't agree to anything?
The Islamic Republic's Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei said on Iranian television, "It would be better not to reach an agreement that to have a bad deal," the Hebrew-language Maariv website reported.
Sound familiar?
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has been saying all along that "no deal is better than a bad deal."
Of course, their definitions of a "bad deal" are far from similar, but, as President Barack Obama would say, we have a basic agreement on which to advance a peace process.

Child Support Enforcement Program
In October 2012 the Tribe was awarded a two-year Child Support Enforcement Planning Grant under the Title IV-D of the Social Security Act. This grant will enable the tribe to develop a Child Support Enforcement program. While the program is still relatively small, the tribe of one of a growing number of tribal entities participating in this program overseen by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). As of February 2012, there were 42 fully comprehensive and 11 start-up tribal child support (TCSE) programs funded nationally.
Our start-up funding allows for reasonable and necessary costs to develop a TCSE program to meet the program objectives. After completion of the start-up portion of the grant, the Tribe will be eligible for a comprehensive program.
Tribal member Curtis Zunigha is the Director of the program. He will work with the Tribal Court and others to explore other TCSEs in Oklahoma and Kansas to make recommendations on Tribal Policy for the program.

Whether or not Mark Ingram will emerge as the New Orleans Saints' lead back in 2013 remains to be seen. But that's the role he'll be playing in Friday night's preseason opener against the Kansas City Chiefs since fellow tailback Pierre Thomas has been sidelined by an undisclosed ailment.
And as a result, I have a feeling that Ingram's fantasy football stock is about to rise.
I'm not ready to project a "breakout" season from Ingram, since I think he'll be sharing the workload with Thomas and Darren Sproles this season. And I think Ingram needs to prove he can deliver when it counts after failing to live up to expectations the past two years.
But I do think Ingram will turn some heads under the national spotlight Friday night if he looks anywhere near as impressive as he has looked throughout these summer practices.
Ingram has looked strong, fast, fluid and a little slimmer -- a result of being fully healthy for the first time throughout an entire offseason since he joined the NFL. And the Saints have talked about using him in a more versatile way after pigeonholing him as the short-yardage/base offense running back the last two years.
I think all three of the Saints' top tailbacks will have nice bounce-back seasons this year, especially now that coach Sean Payton is back and making the run game a top priority. But of the three, Ingram is clearly the one with the most to prove.
I'll have more expanded thoughts on all the Saints' skill position players next week when I take a shot at projecting all of their roles and statistics for the 2013 season -- an interesting exercise whether you're into fantasy football or not.
ROLE REVERSALS: Some interesting players in new positions this week for the Saints, partly due to injuries:
-- After moving to outside linebacker earlier this week, veteran Jay Richardson may even start at the new position Friday in the wake of Junior Galette's undisclosed ailment. I'll have more tomorrow morning on Richardson, who has a real shot of cracking his first NFL roster since 2010 now that he's reunited with former Oakland Raiders defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.
-- On Thursday night, defensive tackle Brodrick Bunkley played several snaps at defensive end, with Akiem Hicks at nose tackle. That's a surprising move, since Bunkley never seemed to get comfortable at the three technique last year and has always been a better fit at nose tackle. But the Saints will obviously do a lot of mixing and matching throughout their defense this year.
-- Second-year offensive tackle Marcel Jones lined up as the second-string right guard on Thursday night. I think Jones has an excellent chance of making the 53-man roster, and that versatility will only help his case.**************

The spotlight today is on Grant Friedman, local Twitter user and business owner.
How long have you been using Twitter?
I joined Twitter on Aug 12, 2008 twittercounter.com/colorburned
Why do you use Twitter?
I use Twitter for several reasons but for the most part I use it to promote my website www.colorburned.com within the web and graphic design community. In addition, I have also found that Twitter is an exceptional networking tool that I also use to communicate with graphic and web designers from around the world.
You say you use Twitter for business, has it been successful?
Twitter is actually at the core of my site's business. Since joining Twitter in August of 2008 I have received over 11,000 followers (and growing) and have managed to build a quite loyal readership among my website's visitors. In fact, I give Twitter a lot of credit for the popularity of my site that now receives between 3,000 and 5,000 visits per day.
Who have you met, from the Louisville area, after connecting on Twitter?
I met @jasonfalls, @chimoose, @ambercadabra as well as many others at a Social Media Club of Louisville (smclouisville.org) event a while back , but I have also met quite a few people from all over the world including @abduzeedo who I met once in New York and a second time in Tampa when we both spoke at the Front-End Design Conference, @suterman who took me for a tour of the Marvel Comics Headquarters in New York, and @jeff_finley who I recently met up with in Cleveland.

Picture Your Future Graduation Party (49 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Graduation is often a time of reflection when photo albums and yearbooks from the past are reminisced over while dreams of what the future holds are ever present. Our graduation party design was inspired by the magical Polaroid photographs of yesteryear and the slides you'd see projected on the white wall of your grandparents' basement!
As soon as the calendar flipped to June when I was growing up, it meant every weekend would be jammed packed with graduation open houses. We'd head out right before the lunch hour and return late in the evening with a little too much sun on our faces and way too much food in our bellies! Most of the open houses included full-course meals and, being a gracious guest, I always made sure I ate a bit of something.
Keeping this in mind, I created a buffet focused on one main food item—Sliders. Simplifying the menu allowed me to have fun with the buffet and not overwhelm the guests with too many food choices. It also reduces the stress level of the hostess by allowing her to plan and prep ahead versus making a huge variety of dishes.
The backdrop for the buffet table was created using silver square paper plates attached to a piece of foam board. A Polaroid inspired banner was hung on ribbon using small binder clips from an office supply store. The backdrop was finished off with a graduation tassel inspired bunting in school colors.
The buffet included a SLIDE-rs Bar filled with toppings and condiments for guests to create their very own "custom" burger. As a hostess, I always want to please everyone and "create-your-own" bars are a great way to achieve this. Guests can pick and choose what they like without the worry falling on you!
The toppings and condiments were clearly labeled with photograph and slide inspired cards. It's always a nice touch to let your guests know what they are eating with either food labels or a menu at the beginning of the buffet.
To round out the buffet, "Healthy Fries"—aka carrot and celery sticks-—were served in school colored fry boxes with "Class of 2012" tags (These have been updated with the current school year!). Veggie Dip was served in taster cups. Portioning food and dips is an easy way for guests to fill their plates quickly and keeps the line moving when you are serving a large guest list.
I always leave plenty of room on my buffets for guests to set their plates down. If they need to take the lid off of a warmer, they will need two hands and this is especially important around beverage dispensers. Watching a guest juggling a plate and cup while trying to turn on the spout of the dispenser is good for a laugh but cleaning up after they spill isn't quite as fun! The "Picture Yourself Punch" dispenser was topped with a mortarboard and clear cups were embellished with tags. The tags were printed on full-sheet labels, cut out using a 2" circle punch and attached to the cups.
Food was served on servingware that was either square or had square compartments. The squares continued the Polaroid and slide theme throughout party space. A single shape, color scheme or object can create a cohesive and seamless event.
The sweet treats table was backed with white square paper plates accented with school colored tassel bunting. Photographs of the graduate growing up created a "Sweet Memories" photo banner to finish off the backdrop. The desserts continued the square slide theme and were embellished with letter cookies for a graphic twist.
Yearbook favor boxes and "Class of 2012" confetti completed the table décor. The Yearbook favor boxes were a fun way to say, "Thanks for the Memories" and were filled with the graduate's favorite treat.
Guests were asked to sign a non-traditional guest book which can be framed or placed in a scrapbook. The yearbook inspired 8" x 10" cards had photos of the graduate and their school attached to them to personalize the pages.
Here are some of my favorite party tips and tricks for keeping any size event on budget:
- Simplify your menu. "Create-your-own" bars allow you to focus on one food item while allowing your guests to have their "favorite" food.
- Serve finger foods or portioned servings. Usually these don't require silverware which can be an additional expense.
- Plan ahead. Finalize your menu so you can stock up on items you need when they go on sale.
- Use small plates. A guest will feel satisfied when they have filled their plate versus having lots of empty space which makes them feel like they haven't taken enough.
- Serve punch instead of soda pop. Punch not only saves you money but it saves space. A beverage dispenser takes up less space than a bucket full of drinks which you have to keep refilling with soda and ice.
The "Picture Your Future" Collection and the Yearbook Favor Boxes are currently available in our shop. I hope you're inspired to create an affordable and extraordinary celebration for your graduate!
{The "Picture Your Future" Graduation Party was originally designed for and featured in Tots to Teens Magazine's Spring/Summer 2012 Issue (page 67).}

A Milwaukee video shoot invites area runners to participate in the production of a motivational film supporting a health cause for youngsters. Participants will gather Sunday, June 8, at 1 p.m. at A Gift of Wings Kite Store, located at 1300 N. Lincoln Memorial Drive, for instructions.

The producer hopes to include at least 100 runners in the film.
"Runners, please help me out," said fitness coach Rachel Moran, of The Heart Core Movement. "Several runners have had to back out at the last minute."
"It does not matter if you are fit. The running video is motivational, to show that anyone can do it. We start at 1 pm, jogging till we get the shota … so not very long," Moran added.
You are invited to join/"like" the Running Examiner – Milwaukee and More page on Facebook – for information, inspiration, and news for runners in our region.
Participants will be filmed, running in the park near the Lake Michigan shoreline. No measured distances are planned. The resulting video will appear on The Heart Core Movement website and other spots.

John Podhoretz and Bill Kristol will be wetting themselves with joy over this one:
(Reuters) – Six U.S.-allied Gulf Arab states demanded on Tuesday that Iran end what they called interference in the region, reiterating a long-held mistrust of their main rival.
The Islamic Republic denies trying to subvert Saudi Arabia and its wealthy Gulf neighbors.
A communique issued at the end of a two-day summit of the Saudi-led Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) also urged action to halt mass killings and violations of international law in Syria.
The oil-producing GCC states wield influence out of proportion to their sparse populations due in part to global energy and investment links, generous international aid and Saudi Arabia's role as home to Islam's two holiest sites.
"The council expressed its rejection and condemnation of the continuing Iranian interference in the affairs of the Gulf Cooperation Council's states and called on Iran to stop these policies," the communique said.
On the conflict in Syria, the statement, read out by GCC Secretary-General Abdulatif al-Zayani, added: "We ask the international community for serious and swift moves to stop these massacres and these severe attacks that contradict all religions and international laws and humanitarian principles."
via Gulf Arabs decry Iran interference, Syria killings | Reuters.
The Neoconservatives that I wrote about here, just got handed the World's greatest Christmas present: War with Iran. Seeing that Obama is continuing with the same foreign policy as George W. Bush; I look for Obama to start military action sometime this year. Obama does not have to worry about reelection or angering his base. So, war will be coming, bank on it.
Funny how history repeats itself.

Black Swan
Jim Schembri Brace yourselves: Black Swan is a frenetic, dazzling dance pic, writes JIM SCHEMBRI
Amazing movie, from the opening scene to the credits! Fabulous costumes, Winona stealing the scene - wow. Mila was hot! Natalie Portman's acceptance speech at the Golden Globes now makes sense. She was brilliant!
Dog of a film. Should be R-rated. Hand-held camera work all the way through, explicit sex, violence/abuse/self abuse, difficult to follow story, melodrama by the truckload. Ugh!
An ok film. Although I found the themes a little cliched. Sadly I was expecting more. Enjoyable to watch though.
Great movie. Bizzare and confusing, but riveting & interesting throughout. Had me thinking about what everything meant for days later. Natalie Portman is generating praise from all over, and she deserves it, she pulls off an amazing job. I was also suprisingly impressed with Mila Kunis. Worth seeing.
I absolutely loved this movie. It was engrossing, suspenseful, disturbing and sexy. Natalie Portman was incredible. By the time the final credits started rolling I felt like I must have been holdimg my breath the entire film. For me personally, it was a knockout of a flick and quite an experience. Winona Ryder also deserves a special mention!
Film goers and directors such as Darren Aronofsky have an almost insatiable fascination with the extremes of human activity, those on the obsessional cutting edge of skills and talents; the elite sportsperson, the passionate artist, the economic 'dragon', even the bizarre serial killer. The intense focus that elite activity requires, the single-minded drive that takes a painter, golfer, dancer, to the top, is endlessly interesting. This visually beautiful and emotionally deeply disturbing film mirrors the hothouse world of the prima ballerina, the intensity, the physical pain of achievement, the short shelf-life, the obsessive commitment to perfection.
Nina (Natalie Portman) is emotionally frozen, she lives with her mother (Barbara Hershey) whose own dancing career was terminated by her pregnancy, a destructive and controlling presence - the scene with the celebratory cake is revelatory - who helps to mire Nina in the early adolescent pinkness of a bedroom filled with childhood's soft, stuffed toys. Her rival and understudy, Lily (Mila Kunis) offers her alternatives to perpetual childhood, while equally driven ballet director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) insists that while Nina is the perfect white swan, she needs to embrace darkness, sensuality and instinct if she is to dance the black one. In Nina's obsessional psyche, fantasy and reality intersect to foment artistic perfection and personal destruction.
The result is a mirror fracturing in slow motion, a life disintegrating under pressure with the exquisite inevitability of a Greek drama.
I loved the film, my only criticism is the slightly irritating 'little girl' voice Portman adopts, and the perhaps unnecessary melodrama of the dismissed former Prima Ballerina Beth's (Winona Ryder) attempted suicide. Well worth seeing, if not for the faint-hearted.
A well-made film with beautiful music, acting, cinematography etc.
But I didn't like it. The psycho-thriller elements were at first haunting, but by the end, ludicrous. [edited for spoilers] from the one hour mark the above mentioned technical achievements were all I could appreciate.
nasty princess gone wrong could be the best way to describe this character...i have seen' elements' of this behaviour in melbourne sadly...the extremists are every-where!!
