Press Release
As part of his four picture deal with Marvel Studios, Robert Downey Jr. is appearing as Tony Stark in THE AVENGERS motion picture, as well as reprising his starring role as the larger-than-life leading character in IRON MAN 2. Jon Favreau will return to direct the sequel to the blockbuster IRON MAN, which to date has grossed over $578 million worldwide, as well as executive produce THE AVENGERS.
Academy Award nominee Downey was most recently seen in the summer comedy blockbuster TROPIC THUNDER starring opposite Ben Stiller and Jack Black. Before Iron Man, he was best known for his film roles in KISS KISS BANG BANG, WONDER BOYS and CHAPLIN, the film for which he was nominated for an Oscar.
In addition to directing the first IRON MAN, Favreau has previously directed ELF, ZATHURA: A SPACE ADVENTURE and MADE. He is also well known for writing and starring in SWINGERS. He will next be seen acting in FOUR CHRISTMASES, I LOVE YOU MAN and COUPLES RETREAT.
Marvel Studios is pleased today to confirm that an agreement has been finalized with award-winning actor Don Cheadle to take on the role of Colonel James "Rhodey" Rhodes in Marvel's IRON MAN 2 due in theaters on May 7, 2010. In casting Cheadle, Marvel replaces Terrence Howard who appeared in the role of Rhodey in IRON MAN. Cheadle is also signed on to perform the same role in THE AVENGERS and subsequent installments of the IRON MAN franchise.
"We are very excited about working with the extraordinarily talented Don Cheadle as we expand the role of Rhodey in Iron Man 2. It has already become apparent as we prep the movie for production, that the dynamic between Robert and Don will take Iron Man 2 to new heights," said Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios.
Cheadle is best known for his Oscar nominated lead performance in HOTEL RWANDA as well as his role as Basher Tarr in the OCEAN'S franchise, CRASH and SWORDFISH.
Based on Marvel's iconic Super Hero, IRON MAN 2 continues the story of this summer's box office blockbuster IRON MAN, the first feature film produced independently by Marvel Studios. IRON MAN 2 will be produced by Marvel Studios' President, Kevin Feige, and executive produced by Louis D'Esposito, Jon Favreau, Stan Lee, David Maisel and Denis Stewart.
In a movie event, THE AVENGERS will bring together the super hero team of Marvel Comics characters for the first time ever, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk and more, as they are forced to band together to battle the biggest foe they've ever faced.
The highly anticipated sequel to IRON MAN will be released in theatres on May 7, 2010 and THE AVENGERS will be released July 15, 2011. Both films will be distributed by Paramount Pictures.
Cheadle is represented by UTA. Downey and Favreau are represented by CAA.

The Avengers is shaping up nicely. All we need now is some confirmation that Ed Norton will return as the Hulk, and some warm bodies in the Cap and Thor costumes, and I'm good to go.
Let this be a lesson to DC to get their butts in gear and turn out a decent JLA flick.
I'm have to reserve any judgment
Hulk and Ironman kicked ass but there is still SOOO much room for a big cluster f%^& that I'm almost scared
but if they can pull it off it could be something really great
has there ever been a movie crossover of the scope that Marvel has planned???
very exciting
man i hate to see that the switch war machines, but hey, one dude dont stop the show

Paul Breehne opened up Same Day Cleaners after selling his painting company in 1999, but that is not where the story begins.
While his family was nomadic throughout his childhood, with homes all across the state of Illinois, he learned business stability from his father at a young age.
"Dad was the kind of guy that would walk in somewhere and people knew him because of the way he did business. People knew what they were getting from him. That is something that always stuck with me," said Breehne.
After graduating from high school, Paul stayed with his family's business, Illinois Laundry and Cleaners, and worked there even after they sold it, until he was 25. At that point, he relocated to Naples because he wanted to get a new experience. It wasn't until after he started working at Coca-Cola as a driver that he felt the entrepreneurial bug biting again.
"Dad came down to Florida and wanted to build an equipment rental business. He offered me 25% of the business, but I wouldn't get anything until it was making money," Paul said. The company sold after three years and Paul's 25% share was enough for him to buy a couple duplexes and start his painting company. "I watched my father's success. I saw how he grew a business, but it was time for me to do it on my own. I took the money I had left over after the business sold and started the painting company," said Breehne.
He went out and got jobs where he could, and he was the only employee. Fast-forward seven years to fifty-five employees and $1.5 million in revenue per year, and Paul was ready to sell.
"It was the right time. I was looking forward to getting back into the dry cleaning business, and the perfect opportunity came up," said Breehne.
He sold the painting business and purchased his first dry cleaning shop at Creech Road in 1999. For the first three years in business, his dad was his competition. That was until Paul decided to team up with his mentor.
"Dad accepted my offer to go 50/50. We consolidated all of the stores. I told him he was getting a little old to be swinging the wrenches. I offered to be the front man, if he was willing to help out with administrative. It was my proudest moment in business when he accepted," he said.
Later that year, in 2003, his dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The family swept in to help out. His wife, Dawn, took on a variety of roles. His daughter, Danielle, has worked there since she was 16. His sister and her husband moved down to take on a role, too. Paul's father passed in 2006, and his memory continues to drive the family business to grow. With six locations and one new store opening soon, Paul credits business practices for the success.
"Everything we do, we are conscious of our morals and values. I have always got along with competition. If someone has a problem or is in a time of need, you help them – that's the way my father taught me to do business. If you do things right, your business will grow," he said.
Today the business sits at forty-five employees and growing.
Paul's favorite part about the business? Growth.
"I love finding new places, new people, and building business relationships that will last a lifetime. I am lucky to have my family here with me for the ride," said Breehne.

Rendezvous Hotel Sydney The Rocks
A great Sydney hotel for families, beside the Harbour Bridge and with unrivalled views of the Opera House from the top-floor rooms. Galleries, cafés and restaurants are right on your doorstep. Kitchens in the rooms give you a self-catering option. There's no restaurant, but breakfast is served in the poolside lounge.
- Mark Chipperfield, Destination expert
Just two minutes' walk from Circular Quay and almost under the shadow of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, it is hard to imagine a more idyllic setting. Galleries, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep.
Style & character
The hotel is a mishmash of architectural styles. The main section dates from the 1980s and the décor reflects this heritage. But the property includes a number of restored Georgian terrace houses.
Service & facilities
The hotel is professionally run, with a 24-hour concierge service.
- Fitness centre
- Laundry
- Pool
- Room service
- Sauna
Choose from spacious studios, one-bedroom apartments or a small collection of Georgian terrace houses. The one-bedroom apartments are more contemporary in design. Guest rooms have small kitchens, mini bar and tea and coffee making facilities. Rooms on the top three floors all have harbour views – ask for one with a balcony.
Food & drink
The hotel does not operate a restaurant, but does offer a breakfast service in the poolside lounge.
Value for money
The Rendezvous scores points for location, size of rooms and overall friendliness but without the price-tag of a five star establishment.
Access for guests with disabilities?
None – this is a historic precinct.
Yes. The spacious, low-maintenance rooms make this hotel ideal for people traveling with families.

Today's author spotlight is on the illustrious Bryan Nowak. Bryan is one to explore every country within reach. I bet he is actually Indiana Jones, always in search of the next horrific adventure!…without further ado, here's… Bryan!
Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?
My name is Bryan Nowak, I'm the author of two books, No Name and The Dramatic Dead. I was born in Chicago, and I moved to a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota, when I was fourteen. I went to college in Minnesota at Mankato and still have lots of friends living in that area.
I've been married for almost twenty years, and we have three kids. We've been very fortunate to live in Germany for the last three years. It has been an experience. So far we have seen over fourteen different countries in Europe. Very soon we will be on our way home, back to Virginia.
- How did you get started on your writing journey?
By reading, of course. As a child I would read a book and then fall in love with that character for a while. No matter who the protagonist was, I'd always try to put myself in their shoes for a while. I got a better appreciation for bringing depth to a character. I am proud to say that I was the proverbial weird child.
I think my parents saw me as strange for the amount of time I spent living in my head. Little did they know that is really the attributes of a writer. It's a little sad that we sometimes want to put these kinds of kids in therapy for what could be perfectly natural for them.
I was lucky to have teachers support my interest in writing. I'd have to write for class and my teachers would try to support this as much as possible. However, that is a hard thing to do with a school kid when you only have a little time to teach them the things they need to know.
- Are there any poets or writers who influence you? How so?
I love Dean Koontz. He has a wonderful writing style. It really grabs you by the nose and pulls you through the story. You don't have to flip back a chapter to find out what the heck he's talking about. Second place would go to Steven King. He has a sense of suspense which is heads and tails above others in horror. In the fantasy realm, I really love Terry Brooks. His Magic Kingdom for Sale series was amazing.
In high school I had a wonderful English teacher who read Poe to us. It opened up a new world to me. We learned to appreciate his works and understand concepts such as symbolism and irony that Poe really does better than anyone. I also love the work of Douglas Adams. Adams knew how to describe incredibly absurd ideas which, taken out of context, you would doubt the sanity of the writer. But within the story line, it's completely believable.
Let's talk about your novel! What is it about?
My latest book is, called The Dramatic Dead, centers on a private investigator/motorcycle mechanic, Dirk Bentley, who has a flair for cases where leads have dried up and the police are stumped. He's joined by his best friend, Keith, who is also an investigator (as well as having other jobs), and his humorous ambassador from the beyond, Victor.
By the way, Victor has been hailed as my most endearing character to date.
The police quietly suggest to the mother of the most recent victim that Dirk could be helpful. During the investigation they interview an unusual cast of characters, from a boat salesman trying to hide his grief to a minister who runs afoul of the government for tax fraud.
Victor, working angles only he can, meets and consoles the serial killer's last victim, who is suffering from post-mortem memory loss. He fights against time to help her regain her memory and adjust to the afterlife.
Meanwhile, the killer selects his next victim, who happens to be a girl Dirk had just interviewed for the case. Dirk, Keith, Victor, and the entire police department have to race against time to find the girl before the killer has a chance to add her death to his tally.
Their investigation focuses on the school's theater group. Dirk suspects the theater arts teacher is involved, but needs to prove his case. A stake out leads to some tantalizing new facts and opens the door to the world of a madman trying to recapture something he desperately wants to reclaim.
- How is the title significant?
My Mom, as mothers will, pointed out that the title was wrong for the book. So, I was walking home from the train station one afternoon when the title just emerged. The victims are theater students. So, The Dramatic Dead was born.
I really hate long titles. I think it detracts from the book. Something short and impactful is really the way to go. I want to give you just enough to make you curious, enough to make you want to look at the back cover for more information.
- Where did inspiration for this come from?
The inspiration for The Dramatic Dead comes from my love of crime novels and television shows. In particular, I love stories of serial killers, both real and fictional. The central antagonist in The Dramatic Dead, is actually the culmination of several serial killers I've researched.
Another influence, for at least one of the characters, was my interest in the paranormal. I always thought it would be interesting to sit down and talk to a ghost. Victor is the manifestation of this thought. A crime fighting ghost sounded like a lot of fun.
- Tell us a little bit about the characters? What are they like and how did you come up with them?
Dirk Bentley, our main character, is a private investigator. He is also the owner of the local motorcycle repair shop. He has a knack for seeing connections where no one else does. What most police officers would dismiss as insignificant, he sees as evidence.
Unlike other detective stories, Dirk has a good relationship with the police department. Dirk's girlfriend, who plays a significant role in the story, is a police sergeant. He loves her, but has a hard time saying it. She is his opposite in some ways. Where he is not above bending the rules, she studies the rules and adheres to them. But Dirk knows where the lines are and how to keep himself out of trouble, if not exactly legal.
Keith is Dirk's best friend in the world, and would do anything for him. They grew up together, learned how to fix motorcycles together, and he became a licensed investigator to help Dirk out. A man who needs little sleep, none of his jobs are really full-time. He is also the local Methodist Pastor, a columnist for the local paper, and a popular associate professor at the local college. He loves living a life where he never knows completely where his day is going to lead.
Victor is the character that all my readers tell me they love. He is very much the comedic relief in the book. He is best described as cranky, dramatic, and dead. Victor is a ghost. He haunts the motorcycle repair shop and helps Dirk by talking with other spirits to gather evidence from the great beyond. As cranky as Victor is, he is committed to helping the team solve the cases.
Dirk and Keith are really reflections of me and my closest friends. I value relationships. Life is hard, don't try to do it alone. Dirk, Keith, and Victor are the culmination of those people in my life. Those whom I can turn to, no matter what.
Everyone knows someone like Victor. A friend yes, but someone you bring with you because of what they might do. Always unpredictable, always hilarious, Victor makes you want to spend more time with him because you are fascinated by him. Yes, he can be over the top, but that's what you love about him. He's bizarre, but he owns it.
- Who do you think would like your story and what kind of readership are you
aiming for?
People who are interested in crime novels, and just a good entertaining story. I jokingly say I want to be an "airport author". I want to write the kind of books you buy, or download, before a flight. I want people to recommend my book to others because it's a fun ride. Not so heavy that you'll feel pressed under the weight of the story. My number one goal is to entertain.
Victor and Dirk's niece, Claire, show up in the story to ensure there is some light in Dirk's world. It's not a story of a rampant serial killer wreaking havoc in the city. There's some airiness to the story.
I would have no problem with my fourteen-year-old reading this book. There is some mild sexual suggestion, but nothing graphic. Some strong language, but I really don't like an overabundance of foul language, so I use it sparingly.
- What is the message you are trying to get across in your book?
The world is scary. Have some good friends that have you back, no matter what.
- What is your writing process like?
I prefer to write in the morning. I need some good solid time, about three hours to really concentrate. I listen to classical music while I write, nothing with words. If I have something going on during the mornings, I will write in the evening. I find I write less at night than I do during the mornings.
- How do you go about editing your story?
"I never edit, everything I write is solid gold," said no serious author ever.
I hate editing. I think most writers do. But I have a system I stick to. I don't edit until my first draft is done and I've typed "THE END".
Then I go back through the story, reading it on the screen, and catch the obvious mistakes. The next step is to print it off and read the actual written page. Then, I print the thing off and give it to my wife to read. She goes through and finds a lot of things I missed.
Next, it's off to betas. After they are done with the draft (they're a brutal bunch), I make those changes. I love my betas; they really help bring the piece home. I give it one final read and then off to the editor.
I have a friend/editor I used for The Dramatic Dead, and I love the work he has done for me. With a few exceptions, I accept his changes. Being an author means you have to learn to trust your editor.
Where did you find your cover artist and what was the process like?
I found my artist on a site where a lot of graphic artists post their work and solicit jobs. I love the work she does. You really have to learn to trust them. She has the uncanny ability to see what I am thinking and put in the page. For The Dramatic Dead, I got goosebumps when I saw her first draft. I had to ask her if she was a mind reader in addition to graphic artist.
My advice to new authors looking for a graphic artist is to remember that this is your book. Even though you are hiring the work out, it's your name on the book and your reputation. Make sure you are happy with it in the end. You have a right to ask for changes until you feel it's right.
- How did you go about getting published?
I'm an indie author and will be for the foreseeable future. I don't bemoan those who went a more traditional route, but I really do see indie/self-publishing as the way authors will become popular in the future. I may go the traditional publishing route in the future if I meet the right agent.
It'll have to be the right agent though. I am not interested in just anyone, it has to be the right person. I have to believe in them as much as they believe in me. Getting an agent is serious business.
- What was your self-publishing experience like?
Overall, I've had a pretty good experience with self-publishing. However, I'm always reluctant to jump into something with both feet without having a good idea of what's at the bottom. Fortunately, writing a novel isn't like racing formula one cars, nothing happens quickly. I had time to do the research and look at blogs of people who have gone before me.
I asked a lot of questions and got tons of people willing to give me advice.
- What are the pros and cons of self-publishing?
Pros: You're in control of everything. Every last piece of the enterprise is yours. Life as a self-published author has gotten tons easier with the technological advantages we now have available to us.
Cons: You are in this for the long haul. Even under the best circumstances it'll take a lot of work for a long time to really make a name for yourself. The praise you get is largely internal. You have to be happy with what you are doing. If you need someone to heap constant praise on you, then self-publishing, or being an author in general, isn't a good career choice for you.
- What were the surprises? Good or bad? If so, what were they?
The sense of community. I recently wrote a blog how writing is a very solitary experience. I went on in great detail on how writing is really just you … and maybe your family, your friends who beta read, your editor, your friends on Facebook who help you when you have questions, of course your readers. But that's it … no one else.
Self-publishing really is a community. I'm a member of the Indie Author Support and Discussion community, and the Horror Writers Association. These communities are critical to me and my work. But they're not just groups or resources, but also friends and sounding boards when I need something or have a question.
- How do you go about promoting your book as a self-published author?
This is a difficult question to answer. I've yet to meet the author who has mastered this art. You really have to reach the reading public. Find blogs and forums where the readers are actively sharing information about books.
Make sure you write reviews of other people's work and ask them to write reviews for you. This is critical. Occasionally reviewers will put out requests for books to review. Jump on these chances! The reviewers will post the review of your book to their own websites and blogs.
Promotion in the self-publishing realm really equals networking and relationship building. People are no longer content to simply buy a book, they are looking for a relationship. They are going to look you up on your website, Facebook page, etc. They want to know the person behind the words.
- Is there something about the whole process you wish someone had told you
before? Good or bad?
Being a writer isn't about simply writing. It is very much about being a part of the community of writing. Interestingly enough, this has always been true of writers. Shakespeare was also active in the writing and screenplay community of his time. I like to think he would have been very active in blogging.
- Do you have any advice for writers who want to self-publish?
Treat it like a hobby, then it will always be just that. No truer words were ever spoken. Do your homework. Participate! Blogs are essential, get active in Facebook groups which support indie writers. I'm active in two which take about ninety percent of my Facebook time. Being an indie writer is going to take over your life and you'll happily give your life over to it.
The odds of you suddenly becoming a major sensation are largely against you. Be happy with your small successes, when they come. Enjoy writing because it's what you love to do. Writing is its own reward. Above all, write.
- What plans do you have for the future of your writing?
My next, and third book, is presently in the hands of my beta readers. I have already gotten some amazing feedback. After they are done with it then it will go to the editor for him to do his magic. It is set in Illinois and takes place in a farm house which was the location of a horrible murder suicide. I'm very excited about it. It is titled Crimson Tassels, and it should be out late summer, early fall.
At the end of The Dramatic Dead, I give you a little teaser about the next book. I'm thrilled to tell you that I am working on that manuscript right now. I'm shooting for late fall, early winter. Yes, you can expect to see Dirk, Keith, Victor, and the others again.
Naturally, I'll continue doing blogs, guest blogs, and shows as well. I'll be appearing at Scares that Care in Williamsburg, Virginia, in July 2016. I'll also happy to announce that I'll be a showcased author at the Suffolk Mystery Authors Festival, in Suffolk, Virginia, on August 13th 2016 and the Fredricksburg Independant Book Festival, in Fredricksburg, Virginia, on September 24th. Information on all of these events can be found on my website.
- What are your social accounts if people want to connect with you?
My goal in life is to be the most discoverable author in the history of the world! You can reach me a whole bunch of different ways.

In less than two months, Britain will go to the polls once again. This time, it's not a general election. It's much more important than that. It's a historic vote that will radically shape this country's future, whether we decide to stay in the European Union or not. So it deserves a serious debate that allows everyone to weigh up the arguments and make an informed decision. I'm not one of those people who think the "pros" or the "antis" have all the answers. I appreciate there are longstanding reasons why people want Britain to quit the EU. But I believe there are more persuasive reasons for staying in. And my conviction has only grown since I became Transport Secretary.
The first reason is that our economy will be better off. And the transport industry will be better off. Just consider our flourishing UK motor industry. We make some of the best and most in-demand cars in the world. Last year almost 1.6 million of them rolled off the production lines, the highest for a decade. But a recent poll revealed that more than three-quarters of UK car manufacturers say quitting the EU would hurt their businesses.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 355431
Kpowersave needs root access after acpid installed
Last modified: 2008-06-16 22:44:51 EDT
Description of problem:
My initial install of F7 on Dell Latitude D630 had kpowersave working fine.
acpid was not installed at all.
After installing acpid, kpowersave no longer works unless ran as root.
If I run kpowersave as regular user, it cannot suspend, cannot change CPU
frequency policy, and cannot even report it (the policy is "unknown" in
kpowersave status window). When I run kpowersave under sudo, it sees the policy
as "dynamic", can change it, suspend works too. I can run pm-suspend as regular
user and it works.
Stopping or even removing acpid does not fix the problem. Some permissions must
have changed somewhere and kpowersave no longer has the access it needs.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
After acpid was installed, kpowersave needs root privs, this part is 100%
reproducible. Since I can't "undo" it and revert back to working state, I can't
say whether I can reproduce the change caused by acpid.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Default install - kpowersave works as user
2. Install acpid - kpowersave needs root access
3. Remove acpid - kpowersave still needs root access
Actual results:
Expected results:
Additional info:
eww. I'll see if I can reproduce this.
worksforme (as reg user) with acpid installed.
$rpm -q acpid kpowersave
You have acpid installed, is it also running? I noticed that running acpid has
some effect on hal (for example, hald-addon-acpi does not lock /proc/acpi/events
if acpid is running), but since I can't undo the change even by removing acpi I
don't know what is important for the problem.
I could debug some more if I knew what to look for. For example, kpowersave
status window now does not display CPU frequency policy (says "unknown") unless
it runs as root (then it's "dynamic"). Clearly kpowersave does not have
permissions to read the policy from somewhere, but from where? Similarly, I
can't change the policy, I get a failure message. kpowersave probaly tried to
write to something and failed? I can't strace it because it forks itself into
background right away. lsof does not show any "interesting" filed open by
kpowersave, but it's unlikely I can catch it with lsof at just the right moment.
acpid is running, yes.
I also see CPU freq policy as "dynamic" always (and can't change it fwiw).
i have acpid running on my Latitude D820 and i am able to change between
dynamic and performance. i am unable to select powersave.
Im guessing that the bug here lies in hal somewhere since thats all kpowersave
uses to do its heavy lifting. im reassinging to hal
Pretty sure this is not a hal problem.
I have the same problem. Don't know however, if it is somehow connected with acpid.
Lenovo T60 with Ati X1400 (ekh). F8 install, kpowersave works only if I am
logged in as root. In other cases all Suspend/Hibernate related options are

This message is a reminder that Fedora 7 is nearing the end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 7. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '7'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 7's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 7 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. If possible, it is recommended that you try the newest available Fedora distribution to see if your bug still exists.
Please read the Release Notes for the newest Fedora distribution to make sure it will meet your needs:
The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 7 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on June 13, 2008.
Fedora 7 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not
receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version
of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.
Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Hugo Chavez survives again.
The leftist president of Venezuela, backed by 58 percent of voters, easily rebuffed a recall referendum on Sunday. In the course of his political career, the 48-year-old former military officer has endured jail time and overcome two well-funded electoral rivals, an abortive military coup, a general strike and, now, a well-funded, internationally supported campaign to end his presidential term early. Chavez's reputation as a populist survivor is getting burnished in the international online media, if not in Venezuela itself.
Chavez's victory, if it survives allegations of fraud from the opposition, "would be a fillip for those campaigning against US influence in the region and a big success for leftwingers, including Fidel Castro, president of Cuba," notes the Financial Times.
The London daily describes Chavez as "an out-spoken critic of the 'neo-liberal' economic policies supported by Washington." But the FT acknowledged his pragmatic side as well, noting Chavez's government "has met foreign debt payments and maintained reasonable relations with multinational companies in the oil, telecommunications and other sectors."
As a result, even TalCual (in Spanish), an independent Caracas daily often critical of Chavez, reported Monday that his victory "dispelled doubts about the stability of the world's fifth largest petroleum exporter and contributed to calm," at least temporarily, in oil and stock markets.
"I ask that we give a prayer to God thanking him for this victory that is clean, transparent, and forceful," Chavez declared Monday morning while speaking from the balcony of the presidential palace, according to a report in Colombia's El Tiempo (in Spanish) newspaper.
In the Spanish-speaking world, Chavez's allies were quick to claim victory. Cuba's Granma (in Spanish), the government-controlled daily, hailed Chavez's "transcendental victory," saying it represented the worst setback yet for Chavez's adversaries and was a sign of growing popular support for his so-called Bolivarian revolution. (Chavez is a great admirer of Simon Bolivar, the 19th century general who fought for the independence of Latin America.)
Argentina's left-wing president, Nestor Kirchner, sent congratulations to Chavez, according to El Nacional (in Spanish), another anti-Chavez daily in Caracas. El Universal (in Spanish) carried a wire service story that the leader of El Salvador's leftist political party, a former guerrilla fighter, had done the same.
In Spain,
El Mundo (in Spanish) reported the country's center-left government had also sent its congratulations. (The Madrid daily reported that 95 percent of Venezuelan expatriates in that country had voted for recalling Chavez.)
The overconfidence of Chavez's foesa diverse collection of middle- and upper-class political forces with tacit support from the United States was exemplified by the columnist Omar Estacio writing in El Universal, a fiercely anti-Chavez daily. On the day of the voting, Estacio predicted Chavez's foes would prevail by a wide margin and soon be dancing in the streets "without attacking or offending anyone."
Less than 24 hours later, the federal electoral commission had reported Chavez had won by 16 percentage points and the opposition was calling for demonstrations, not dancing. By late Monday afternoon, El Universal reported that four opposition protestors had been wounded (one later died) by unidentified, but presumably pro-Chavez, gunmen at a rally.
A statement from former U.S. president Jimmy Carter that his observation team had not detected significant fraud was picked up by the Guardian of London and the Chinese news agency, Xinhua.net .
Chavez's success, including his penchant for rhetorically confronting the United States, has not gone unnoticed in other oil-exporting countries in the Middle East either.
Al-Jazeera.net credited Chavez with an "ambitious program of wealth redistribution" aimed at helping the 80 percent of Venezuelans who live in poverty.
"To the majority of Venezuelans -- mainly the impoverished -- Chavez became a hero," said the Qatar-based cable news network.
An Arab student studying in the Netherlands told the BBC, "that most of the Arabs look at Venezuela with envy! We hope one day we will have our own Chavez."
"It remains to be seen whether the result referendum will calm the situation in Venezuela for the remainder of Mr. Chavez' term in office," cautioned Radio Netherlands.
The Dutch broadcast network quoted one analyst who said that, "those who suspect that Mr. Chavez is planning a Cuban-style dictatorship will continue to do so, and the people in the slums who voted for him will still support his revolution of the poor.
[W]ith this result it's very improbable that the opposition is going to accept the current situation".
Many Venezuelans shared the same view.
In a voluntary online survey, Tal Cual asked readers to chose from three statements about the future of Venezuela.
As of Tuesday morning, 26 percent said they expected reduced political conflict, 29 percent expected the economy to improve and 44 percent said they expected everything to stay the same.
In other words, Hugo Chavez's survival skills will probably be tested again.

First Day
Las Vegas Travel Blog› entry 2 of 6 › view all entries
I woke up early and even though i felt a bit hungover, I wanted to get started on the sights. The other three guys weren't as enthusiastic lol. Thankfully, Siobhan texted me from the girls' room asking if i was awake (this became tradition for the trip as we were the early risers of the group. The two of us went to get breakfast and then went back to her room to eat it. When the other girls were up, we went to my room to get the guys. The 8 of us first walked around our hotel, getting to know it better. The Flamingo is a great hotel. It's not one of those hotels that you walk in to sight see but it was a great price and in my opinion, the best location on the strip (right in the middle). They had a nice garden area full of flamingos. I should say here that the weather was perfect the entire week (low to mid 20s).
We then decided to walk the strip, looking at all the hotels. Walking down the strip is an experience in itself. I felt like i was on a monopoly board. One minute i'm looking at the Eiffel tower, then the Stautue of Liberty. There are escalators everywhere outside which i thought was a genius idea. It gets the tourists off the roads. Also a new experience was the fact that you can drink in public here. It was weird seeing people walking down the street with drinks in their hands. The hotels were incredible. I loved Ceasar's Palace, the Venetian, Luxor, MGM, and of course the Bellagio. We saw the fountain show at the Bellagio (we returned multiple times). We got the obligatory Ocean's 11 photo shot looking at the hotel.
The casinos in the hotel were also an experience. We were carded everywhere we went ( i guess we look young). We were all 21 but it seemed weird being carded since we had been legal to drink in Canada for 3 years already. The smell of cigarette smoke also took getting used to since smoking isn't allowed inside back at home (we all got used to the smell after the first day or so). None of us were big gamblers and since we were all poor students we decided to stick to the quarter slots. Today we also had our first buffet. They say when you go to Vegas, you have to try the buffets and we were impressed lol.
After a full day of walking, we spent some time in the hotel hot tub (the pool wasn't open even though it was hot enough).

A British reporter from the magazine Cycling Weekly was covering a bicycle race in California and wanted to write an article about wine.
His first thought was Napa Valley, but he ultimately decided the well-known wine tourism destination was, well, too well-known. The reporter eventually discovered a lesser known town that had all the same charm.

- Easy snap-on installation to Intermec mobile computers featuring GPS or near/far area imaging
- Light-weight ergonomic design with choice of Bluetooth® or serial connection
- Seamless application portability between Intermec fixed readers and IP30
- Optional non-incendive configurations
- Based on EPCglobal certified radio
- Available in 869MHz or 915MHz frequency bands for global operation
Product Overview
The Intermec IP30 add-on passive UHF RFID handle is a cost-effective, compact, EPCglobal-certified solution for adding mobile RFID read/write capability to Intermec's latest generation of mobile computers including the CN3, CN3e, CK61 and CK61ex.
The modularity of the IP30 and the RFID-readiness of the Intermec mobile computers mean the power of RFID can be literally added in a snap today or at any point in the future to support both in-premise and in-field applications such as warehouse operations, enterprise asset management, in-transit-visibility, direct store delivery and exception handling.
When combined with Intermec's most powerful mobile computers, the CN3 and CN3e, the IP30 gives the user unmatched data collection and communication capabilities. Combining integrated RFID and GPS, along with WiFi, Bluetooth and WWAN*, into a single hand held computer enables pin-point location accuracy for realtime asset, source and service tracking.
The combination of the IP30 and Intermec's new CK61ex mobile computer offer investment protection for the supply chain of tomorrow. Increasingly RFID and bar code labeling are moving away from simple "either-or" co-existence toward complementary solutions that marry identification at the item, case and pallet levels. The IP30 and CK61ex deliver the needed flexibility to not only read RFID, but also 1D and 2D bar codes from any angle, near or far, within the same application.
When harsh and hazardous environments make RFID one of the only viable identification and data collection methods, the non-incendive rated version of the IP30, combined with the CK61NI mobile computer and Intermec's rigid RFID tags, provides a certified device for reading and writing to RFID tags and transmitting the data via wireless LAN.

As my life has been transitioning from gym to office in the past two years, many things have changed. First off, I no longer teach 20-26 hours of classes a week. I love teaching class-everything from Bootcamp to Pilates, but travel and writing has taken me behind the computer.
That said, I find myself in dressier clothes from high heels to high heeled boots and my feet, knees and back are starting to argue over the footwear change. That's why I want to share my secrets to pain free feet and help all those other women wearing heels continue to look great and walk tall. Here are a few must "do's" for those loving their "Manolo's" and "Jimmy Choo's".
Must do exercises:
1) Heel Walks
Each morning from bed to bathroom and back, walk with your toes lifted off the ground.
2) Golf or Tennis Ball
Each morning or evening stand on leg and roll the other foot over the golf or tennis ball for 30-60 seconds massaging the tissue under the ball of the foot.
3) Toe Pulls
While laying in bed, extend your legs straight and pull your toes toward your shins for 30 reps.
Simple movements can mean big results. Try these exercises for two weeks everyday and see if you don't notice a BIG difference in your posture and cat walk.

Ultra HD TVs hitting the market, but many doubt whether you actually need one
DEW Cougars Sandy, UTNov. 12, 2012 10:11 a.m.
I no longer work Directv and somewhere later year 2000 people asked why my hd not coming in clear on my new hdtv? Yep, need hd receiver and pay more per month for hd service. Boy they were not happy about that. And more new tv (uhd) coming soon and we will find out need to have cable provider going have to update to do something on their end. No, I don't need this uhd.
JoeCapitalist2 Orem, UTNov. 12, 2012 9:22 a.m.
Bigger TVs with higher resolution will come but it is not about watching a movie on an 84 inch screen in super high resolution. It will be about watching more than one thing on the same TV at once. In some cases it will be like the "Back to the Future part 2" movie where the TV was showing 6 channels at the same time, but mostly it will be about having several other windows open with supplemental content.
Just like a PC where you can have a dozen or more windows open at once, we will be able to see extra stuff without it encroaching on the movie or TV show. Instead of the score, the stock ticker, or other stuff intruding on the picture real estate; they can be in their own window off to the side. Switch back and forth between two or more sports programs without the silly "Picture-in-Picture" stuff we have now.

Captain obvious here: there are many engineering and scientific applications that would benefit from higher resolution, and there are many of these types of companies, university labs, the military, and government labs that will get these TV's and use them. Further, we really don't care if anybody broadcasts programs or not, because we will use them to view our own imagery, models, and simulations. There is a big market for these displays outside of the livingroom, and they will get used. Like any other tool, you just need to know where to use it.
