Dans une dizaine d'années, l'océan arctique sera considéré comme une mer ouverte" à la navigation pendant la saison estivale, a déclaré Peter Wadhams, professeur à l'université anglaise de Cambridge.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lors d'une conférence de presse à Londres, il a présenté les conclusions des analyses effectuées à partir des milliers de données récoltées pendant une mission de 73 jours au printemps dernier dirigée par l'explorateur britannique Pen Hadow.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;L'objectif était de mesurer en hiver, sur le terrain, l'épaisseur de la banquise pour affiner les prévisions sur la fonte de la calotte arctique.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sur les quelque 450 km parcourus par l'équipe, l'épaisseur moyenne de glace relevée était de 1,8 mètre et, sur les crêtes formées par la pression, elle était de 4,8 mètres.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Une épaisseur de 1,8 m est caractéristique d'une glace formée dans l'année, qui est plus vulnérable pendant l'été. Et la glace accumulée sur plusieurs années se rétracte de manière accélérée", a poursuivi M. Wadhams. "C'est un exemple concret du réchauffement climatique en action", a-t-il ajouté.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pour le docteur Martin Sommerkorn du Fonds mondial pour la nature (WWF), partenaire de l'expédition, "l'étude dresse un tableau très sombre concernant la fonte de la banquise" qui est "plus rapide que ce que nous pensions", précisant que cette disparition aurait "un impact au-delà de l'Arctique".&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Outre la disparition de la faune, cette fonte entraîne une augmentation du niveau des océans, des modifications atmosphériques et des courants maritimes mais aussi la libération de volumes très importants de gaz à effet de serre, considérés comme responsables du réchauffement climatique, a-t-il expliqué.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Selon lui, le permafrost arctique (terres gelées en permanence) renferme deux fois plus de CO2 que l'atmosphère et les fonds marins gelés de l'Arctique en renferment plus que les réserves cumulées de charbon, pétrole et gaz de la planète.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1014034092260220429-108736935475767067?l=heibnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/feeds/108736935475767067/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/la-calotte-arctique-fondra-totalement.html#comment-form' title='36 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/108736935475767067'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/108736935475767067'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/la-calotte-arctique-fondra-totalement.html' title='La calotte arctique fondra totalement en été &quot;dans 20 à 30 ans&quot;'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07109707891206775415</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>36</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014034092260220429.post-3328298740538343110</id><published>2009-10-27T16:36:00.002-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-27T16:37:20.261-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Découverte de 32 nouvelles exoplanètes</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="article-header-photo"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;          &lt;img src="http://www.france24.com/fr/files_fr/imagecache/aef_ct_article_image/article/image/091020-exoplanete-m.jpg" alt="" title="" width="345" height="261" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;                &lt;div class="article-header-intro"&gt; Une équipe d'astronomes européens a découvert 32 nouvelles planètes situées en dehors du système solaire, portant à 400 le nombre d'exoplanètes connues actuellement.        &lt;/div&gt;            &lt;div class="blaster"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;           &lt;div class="article-main-text"&gt;        &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;AFP - &lt;/b&gt;Une équipe d'astronomes européens a découvert 32 nouvelles planètes extra-solaires, portant à plus de 400 le nombre d'exoplanètes connues, a annoncé lundi l'Organisation européenne pour la recherche astronomique dans l'hémisphère austral (Eso).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Plusieurs des exoplanètes découvertes ont une masse seulement quelques fois supérieure à celle de la Terre et pourraient donc être plus propices à la vie, que les grosses exoplanètes gazeuses, de taille comparable à Jupiter, jusque là plus facilement détectables.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Cette découverte a été faite grâce au spectrographe HARPS (High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher) installé sur le télescope européen de 3,6 m se trouvant à Silla, dans le désert d'Atacama, au Chili, précise l'Eso dans un communiqué.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Stephane Udry (Université de Genève), qui fait partie de l'équipe d'astronomes ayant créé HARPS sous la direction de Michel Mayor, a annoncé ces résultats lors de conférences internationales d'astronomie se déroulant à Porto (Portugal) et à Madrid.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Au cours des cinq dernières années, HARPS a détecté plus de 75 planètes extra-solaires, appartenant à 30 systèmes planétaires différents, parmi les quelque 400 exoplanètes connues à ce jour, précise l'Eso. Ce spectrographe mesure l'influence qu'exerce une planète sur la vitesse de déplacement de son étoile.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Une planète même petite qui tourne autour d'une étoile, provoque un léger mouvement de celle-ci. Vue depuis la Terre, la longueur d'onde de la lumière émise par l'étoile augmente (l'étoile rougit) lorsqu'elle s'éloigne de nous, et, au contraire, diminue (la lumière bleuit) lorsqu'elle se rapproche.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"HARPS est un instrument unique, d'une extrême précision, qui est idéal pour découvrir d'autres mondes", a déclaré Stephane Udry. "Nous avons maintenant achevé notre programme initial de cinq ans, qui a réussi bien au delà de nos expérances", a-t-il ajouté lors de la conférence de Porto qui porte sur la recherche d'autres Terres.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Grâce à "l'extrême précision" de HARPS, la "recherche de petites planètes", désignées comme des "super-Terre" ou des planètes semblables à Neptune, a beaucoup progressé, souligne l'ESO.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;HARPS a facilité la découverte de 24 des 28 exoplanètes dont la masse est inférieure à vingt fois celle de la Terre.&lt;/p&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1014034092260220429-3328298740538343110?l=heibnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/feeds/3328298740538343110/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/decouverte-de-32-nouvelles-exoplanetes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/3328298740538343110'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/3328298740538343110'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/decouverte-de-32-nouvelles-exoplanetes.html' title='Découverte de 32 nouvelles exoplanètes'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07109707891206775415</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014034092260220429.post-1728154861386053028</id><published>2009-10-27T16:36:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-27T16:36:49.067-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Un objet pouvant être une météorite tombe en Lettonie</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="article-images-afp-set"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;

 &lt;br /&gt;Le scientifique âgé de 56 ans, condamné à l'issue d'un procès qui s'était ouvert en juin 2006, a été reconnu coupable de détournement de fonds pour un montant de 830 millionn de wons (704.000 dollars) et de violation des lois sur la bioéthique.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Le ministère public avait réclamé une peine de quatre ans de prison à l'encontre du chercheur inculpé en mai 2006 et qui est resté muet à l'énoncé du verdict. Une centaine de ses partisans l'ont applaudi à sa sortie du tribunal.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Déchu de tous ses titres universitaires et scientifiques et interdit de recherches, l'ancien héros du clonage avait été reconnu coupable en 2006 par ses pairs de l'Université de Séoul d'avoir falsifié deux "premières mondiales" revendiquées dans le domaine du clonage thérapeutique et publiées dans la revue américaine "Science" : l'extraction en 2004 d'une lignée de cellules souches à partir d'embryons obtenus par clonage puis, en 2005, la production encore plus remarquable de onze colonies.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Ces annonces avaient soulevé de grands espoirs pour le traitement du cancer, du diabète ou de la maladie de Parkinson.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Mais sa réuptation avait été ternie en novembre 2005 quand une chaîne de télévision sud-coréenne avait affirmé que le chercheur avait violé les lois sur la bioéthique en acceptant des dons d'ovules de ses propres collaborateurs.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Le parquet avait ensuite découvert que le professeur avait détourné 2,8 milliards de won (trois millions de dollars) de fonds publics et privés alloués à ses recherches. Une partie de cet argent avait été utilisé pour rétribuer des donateurs d'ovules, en violation de la loi sur la bioéthique.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Le tribunal a également confirmé lundi que le chercheur savait que son équipe avait "exagéré ou manipulé" le résultat de certaines expériences. Il n'a cependant pas été prouvé que le scientifique ait ordonné à son équipe de réaliser ces manipulations.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Selon l'enquête judiciaire, le Dr Hwang était le cerveau de la manipulation qui avait fait croire à une percée mondiale dans le clonage thérapeutique, espoir de guérison pour des maladies comme Parkison ou Alzheimer.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;C'est à l'un de ses assistants, Kim Sun-jong, que revenait la tâche de produire des cellules souches à partir d'embryons humains obtenus par clonage. Mais ce dernier n'a pas été capable de le faire et a décidé de détourner du laboratoire du Dr Hwang des cellules souches ordinaires et de les présenter comme des cellules qu'ils avaient obtenues par clonage.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;L'avocat du Dr Hwang avait assuré que le professeur avait été victime de la supercherie montée par son assistant.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Dans l'impossibilité d'effectuer des recherches sur le clonage humain, le Dr Wang a également travaillé sur celui des animaux et a en revanche bien réussi le clonage d'un chien en août 2005.&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;"Ses brillants résultats dans la recherche animale, sa sincère repentance et le fait qu'il ait déjà été sanctionné par ses pairs doivent être pris en considération", ont estimé les juges. Même s'il échappe à la prison, le chercheur a indiqué que ses avocats étudiaient la possibilité d'interjeter appel de la décision.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1014034092260220429-8370248414667291141?l=heibnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/feeds/8370248414667291141/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/le-faux-pionnier-du-clonage-condamne.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/8370248414667291141'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/8370248414667291141'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/le-faux-pionnier-du-clonage-condamne.html' title='Le faux pionnier du clonage condamné pour fraude'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07109707891206775415</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014034092260220429.post-3482125454260709386</id><published>2009-10-27T16:35:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-27T16:35:38.145-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Les matchs chocs du week-end en Europe</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;" class="article-header-photo"&gt;          &lt;img src="http://www.france24.com/fr/files_fr/imagecache/aef_ct_article_image/article/image/20071217-liverpoolm.jpg" alt="" title="" width="345" height="261" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;                &lt;div class="article-header-intro"&gt;          Tour d'horizon des principaux matchs du week-end dans les différents championnats européens.               &lt;/div&gt;            &lt;div class="blaster"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;           &lt;div class="article-main-text"&gt;        &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Premier League - 10e journée&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Liverpool (8e) - Manchester United (1er), Anfield Stadium, dimanche 25 &lt;/strong&gt;octobre&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; width: auto;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top: 0px none;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-theme-default aef-em-theme-embed" 2="aef-me-title-arrows"&gt;  &lt;!-- container --&gt;  &lt;table class="aef-em-container" style="width: 30px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="aef-em-photo"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-photo-set" style="width: 50px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-photo-photo"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.france24.com/fr/files_fr/element_multimedia/image/logo-liverpool.jpg" alt="" path="files_fr/element_multimedia/image/logo-liverpool.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;!-- container --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; width: auto;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top: 0px none;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-theme-default aef-em-theme-embed" 2="aef-me-title-arrows"&gt;  &lt;!-- container --&gt;  &lt;table class="aef-em-container" style="width: 30px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="aef-em-photo"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-photo-set" style="width: 50px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-photo-photo"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.france24.com/fr/files_fr/element_multimedia/image/logo-man-united.jpg" alt="" path="files_fr/element_multimedia/image/logo-man-united.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;!-- container --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Ce dimanche, Liverpool reçoit son pire ennemi, Manchester United. Huitièmes du championnat anglais, au plus mal en Ligue des champions (défaite 1-2 face à Lyon), les hommes de Rafael Benitez en sont déjà à devoir sauver les meubles. Les Reds devront, en outre, combler les absences de Steven Gerrard et Fernando Torres. &lt;p&gt;Du côté des Mancuniens, tout va pour le mieux. En tête de la Premier League et de leur groupe en Ligue des champions, les Red Devils devront tout de même se passer de leur moteur d'attaque, Wayne Rooney, insuffisamment remis d'une blessure à un mollet lors du match Ukraine-Angleterre. Sir Alex Ferguson pourra, en revanche, compter sur le retour du Gallois Ryan Giggs et du latéral gauche Patrice Evra pour inscrire le 178e derby à leur palmarès.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="margin: 5px auto; width: auto;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top: 0px none;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-theme-default aef-em-theme-embed" 2="aef-me-title-arrows"&gt;  &lt;!-- container --&gt;  &lt;table class="aef-em-container" style="width: 405px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="aef-em-title"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div&gt;VIDEO : Gary Neville narguent les fans de Liverpool (2008)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr class="aef-em-photo"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/o2DwSZdB5VE&amp;amp;hl=fr&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o2DwSZdB5VE&amp;amp;hl=fr&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;!-- container --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Les autres rencontres : &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;p&gt;Samedi 24 octobre&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Wolverhampton Wanderers - Aston Villa&lt;br /&gt;Birmingham City - Sunderland&lt;br /&gt;Burnley - Wigan Athletic&lt;br /&gt;Hull City - Portsmouth&lt;br /&gt;Tottenham Hotspur - Stoke City&lt;br /&gt;Chelsea - Blackburn Rovers&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Dimanche 25 octobre :&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Bolton Wanderers - Everton&lt;br /&gt;Manchester City - Fulham&lt;br /&gt;West Ham United - Arsenal&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bundesliga - 10e journée&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Schalke 04  (3e) - Hambourg SV (2e), stade Veltins-Arena, dimanche &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;25 octobre&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; width: auto;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top: 0px none;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-theme-default aef-em-theme-embed" 2="aef-me-title-arrows"&gt;  &lt;!-- container --&gt;  &lt;table class="aef-em-container" style="width: 30px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="aef-em-photo"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-photo-set" style="width: 50px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-photo-photo"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.france24.com/fr/files_fr/element_multimedia/image/logo-schalke-04.jpg" alt="" path="files_fr/element_multimedia/image/logo-schalke-04.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;!-- container --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; width: auto;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top: 0px none;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-theme-default aef-em-theme-embed" 2="aef-me-title-arrows"&gt;  &lt;!-- container --&gt;  &lt;table class="aef-em-container" style="width: 30px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="aef-em-photo"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-photo-set" style="width: 50px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-photo-photo"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.france24.com/fr/files_fr/element_multimedia/image/logo-hambourg.jpg" alt="" path="files_fr/element_multimedia/image/logo-hambourg.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;!-- container --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;A l'agonie financièrement, Schalke 04 réussit pourtant son meilleur début de saison depuis 38 ans et pointe à la troisième place avant d'accueillir dimanche le deuxième, Hambourg, pour le choc de la 10e journée de Bundesliga. &lt;p&gt;Mais avec 136,5 millions d'euros de dettes cumulées, le président du club, Clemens Tönnies, reconnait sans fausse pudeur que le club de la Ruhr "est malade".&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Beaucoup de clubs verraient, dans une telle situation, leurs performances sportives pâtir des incertitudes futures. Mais à Schalke, tout le monde semble garder bon moral, à commencer par le président, qui assure "dormir tranquille" ou encore l'entraîneur Felix Magath, qui plaisantait le week-end dernier, après la victoire de son club (1-2) à Stuttgart, en disant que ce dernier, en difficulté au classement, pouvait éventuellement leur "acheter quelques points", pour renflouer les caisses...&lt;/p&gt;

Le &lt;strong&gt;Bayern Munich&lt;/strong&gt;, quant à lui, s'est relancé, mais dans la douleur. &lt;strong&gt;Francfort &lt;/strong&gt;a mené au score avant qu'Arjen Robben, tout juste entré en jeu, n'égalise et que Daniel Van Buyten ne double la mise dans les dernières secondes (2-1). Les Bavarois, toujours privés de Franck Ribéry, remontent à la 5e place, à trois points du podium. &lt;p&gt;  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Liga - 8e journée : Le Barça se reprend, le Real Madrid cale&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; width: auto;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top: 0px none;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-theme-default aef-em-theme-embed" 2="aef-me-title-arrows"&gt;  &lt;!-- container --&gt;  &lt;table class="aef-em-container" style="width: 30px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="aef-em-photo"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-photo-set" style="width: 50px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-photo-photo"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.france24.com/fr/files_fr/element_multimedia/image/logo-barca.jpg" alt="" path="files_fr/element_multimedia/image/logo-barca.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;!-- container --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;table style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 5px; margin-bottom: 5px; width: auto;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top: 0px none;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-theme-default aef-em-theme-embed" 2="aef-me-title-arrows"&gt;  &lt;!-- container --&gt;  &lt;table class="aef-em-container" style="width: 30px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="aef-em-photo"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-photo-set" style="width: 50px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-photo-photo"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.france24.com/fr/files_fr/element_multimedia/image/logo-real-madrid.jpg" alt="" path="files_fr/element_multimedia/image/logo-real-madrid.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;!-- container --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;Le &lt;strong&gt;FC Barcelone&lt;/strong&gt;, freiné lors de ses deux derniers matchs (0-0 à Valence en Liga, puis revers au Camp Nou 2-1 face au Rubin Kazan en Ligue des champions) a repris sa marche triomphale en laminant &lt;strong&gt;Saragosse&lt;/strong&gt; (6-1). Zlatan Ibrahimovic a inscrit un doublé et Seydou Keita un triplé. Tombé de haut face à l'AC Milan en C1 (2-3), le &lt;strong&gt;Real Madrid&lt;/strong&gt; a une nouvelle calé, cette fois-ci chez le modeste Gijon (0-0).

Dimanche, la &lt;strong&gt;Juventus&lt;/strong&gt; est restée au contact de ces deux équipes en l'emportant à Sienne (1-0).

Les familles des victimes vont faire appel. &lt;div class="article-header-intro-credits"&gt;           &lt;/div&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alors qu’une ordonnance de non-lieu a été rendue, vendredi 23 octobre, dans l'affaire de la collision entre un véhicule de police et une moto à Villiers-le-Bel, dans le département du Val d'Oise, en novembre 2007, les familles des deux adolescents qui ont trouvé la mort dans l'accident vont faire appel, annonce lundi leur avocat, Me Jean-Pierre Mignard.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Les deux policiers qui se trouvaient à bord du véhicule, en particulier le chauffeur, sont mis hors de cause", a déclaré à l'AFP une source judiciaire. Le juge d'instruction de Pontoise a ainsi suivi les réquisitions de la procureure Marie-Thérèse de Givry, qui avait requis un non-lieu.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Pour Me Mignard, qui défend les familles des victimes, cette décision est "une fin de non recevoir, un camouflet. Nous allons faire appel de cette ordonnance dans les heures ou jours qui viennent", a-t-il déclaré, ajoutant que "la juge d'instruction, comme la procureure, considère que la moto des adolescents est la cause exclusive de l'accident. Elle écarte toute responsabilité du véhicule [de police], nonobstant la vitesse de franchissement du carrefour". Enfin, conclut celui-ci, la juge " ne répond pas à l'argument concernant l'absence de gyrophares et d'avertisseur" sur la voiture des forces de l'ordre.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Le 25 novembre 2007, la collision entre une moto et une voiture de police avait coûté la vie à deux adolescents, Mushin et Lakamy (qui se prononce Laramy), provoquant deux jours de violences dans le quartier.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Une centaine de policiers avaient été blessés par des tirs d'armes à feu, un commissaire roué de coups, des bâtiments publics et des commerces détruits.&lt;/p&gt; L'annonce du non-lieu intervient le jour de l'ouverture du procès en appel de jeunes accusés de caillassage, en réunion et avec guet-apens, des forces de l'ordre, lors de cet événement. Au mois de juillet, en première instance, ils avaient été condamnés à des peines allant de 18 mois à 3 ans de prison.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1014034092260220429-4306641581896715533?l=heibnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/feeds/4306641581896715533/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/la-justice-blanchit-les-policiers-les.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/4306641581896715533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/4306641581896715533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/la-justice-blanchit-les-policiers-les.html' title='La justice blanchit les policiers, les familles des victimes font appel'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07109707891206775415</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014034092260220429.post-153765401358805410</id><published>2009-10-27T16:27:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-27T16:33:42.778-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Incidents OM-PSG : la Ligue sous le feu des critiques</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="article-header-video"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;          &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="video-player"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;object class="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="player-node-4140606" name="player-node-4140606" data="/fr/sites/all/modules/maison/aef_player/flash/player.swf" style="visibility: visible;" width="340" height="271"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;   &lt;param name="src" value="/fr/sites/all/modules/maison/aef_player/flash/player.swf"&gt;   &lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;   &lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;   &lt;param name="flashvars" value="file=http://flv.france24.com/WB FR MARSEILLE F3 OK 09102.flv&amp;amp;image=/fr/files_fr/imagecache/france24_ct_player_thumbnail/article/image/1025-incendie-marseille-m.jpg&amp;amp;autostart=&amp;amp;id=player-node-4140606&amp;amp;skin=/fr/sites/france24.com.fr/modules/maison/france24_player/flash/skin_f24/skin_f24.swf"&gt;   &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="fallback" style="width: 340px; height: 251px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.france24.com/fr/files_fr/imagecache/france24_ct_player_thumbnail/article/image/1025-incendie-marseille-m.jpg" alt="" title="" width="340" height="251" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;object class="" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="player-node-4140606" name="player-node-4140606" data="/fr/sites/all/modules/maison/aef_player/flash/player.swf" style="visibility: visible;" width="340" height="271"&gt; &lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;                  &lt;div class="article-header-intro"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peu après l'annonce du report de la rencontre entre l'OM et le PSG, plusieurs supporteurs des deux clubs se sont affrontés dans le centre-ville de Marseille. La Ligue de football professionnel (LFP) rejette toute responsabilité. &lt;div class="article-header-intro-credits"&gt;           &lt;a href="http://www.france24.com/fr/category/tags-auteurs/france-3" class="tags-item-tags-auteurs"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;                       &lt;div class="article-main-text"&gt;        &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AFP&lt;/strong&gt; - En décidant de reporter dimanche le match choc OM-PSG, alors que le groupe parisien était concerné par le virus H1N1 depuis samedi, la Ligue de football professionnel (LFP) s'est retrouvée sous le feu de vives critiques, au centre d'intérêts divergents des clubs et des autorités.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Ce report, dès l'apparition d'un 3e cas, n'a eu d'autres conséquences sportives que de trouver, peut-être dès lundi, une date pour disputer la rencontre. Mais des débordements ont éclaté dimanche après-midi à Marseille entre supporters parisiens, marseillais et forces de l'ordre jusqu'au départ en début de soirée des 350 derniers fans du PSG.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;En présentant immédiatement "des excuses aux clubs, à leurs supporters et au diffuseur", la Ligue a autant tenté de les éviter que d'anticiper les critiques qui pourraient se poursuivre lundi et visent plus le timing de l'annonce que la décision elle-même.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"L'heure est à la prudence, pas aux polémiques", a tempéré la secrétaire d'Etat aux Sports Rama Yade.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Thiriez a fait son temps"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;D'autres, à l'image du maire d'arrondissement de Marseille Patrick Menucci, "scandalisé et en colère contre la LFP", ont en revanche été plus tranchants.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Car les incidents causés par les supporters des deux camps ont provoqué des dégâts autour du Vieux Port et de la gare Saint-Charles, faisant au passage une dizaine de blessés légers et obligeant les forces de l'ordre à placer 16 personnes en garde-à-vue.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Thiriez (le président de la LFP, ndlr) a fait son temps. A-t-il pensé un seul instant à la sécurité des supporters?", a réagi lundi matin sur Radio France Philippe Pereira, l'un des responsables de la tribune Boulogne du PSG, pour une fois d'accord avec de nombreux supporters marseillais.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Le président de l'OM, qui souhaite rejouer mercredi, et celui du PSG, dont les joueurs sont à l'isolement jusqu'à ce même jour, avaient pourtant dès samedi prévenu Frédéric Thiriez des risques possibles d'un report de dernière minute. Les faits étaient connus: 2000 Parisiens, un nombre inhabituellement élevé, devaient se déplacer et les deux camps avaient toute la semaine laissé filtrer leur volonté d'en découdre.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Apprentissage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"C'était samedi qu'il fallait prendre cette décision", a ainsi stigmatisé le président marseillais Jean-Claude Dassier.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Il ne fallait pas dire aux supporteurs: +Descendez à Marseille, le match aura lieu+. Je n'étais pas en ligne avec cette certitude", a approuvé son alter ego parisien Robin Leproux.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Depuis le début, la LFP était pourtant contrainte de composer avec des intérêts antagonistes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Celui du PSG, objectivement amoindri sportivement par ses résultats et de nombreuses défections dues ou non à la grippe qui touche pour l'instant trois de ses joueurs (Sakho, Giuly et Clément), était clairement de repousser le match, en dépit des discours de façade. Celui de son grand rival marseillais était fort logiquement de profiter de la faiblesse passagère de son adversaire.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Le "clasico", match phare du diffuseur Canal+, principal garant financier du football national, est également une rencontre plus difficile à déplacer qu'un anonyme match de L1. Autant en raison des enjeux que des moyens mobilisés.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Soucieuse de ne pas donner l'impression de privilégier un camp plus que l'autre, la LFP, qui a déjà sanctionné plusieurs fois le PSG cette saison mais est jugée depuis Marseille comme une "instance parisienne", a choisi samedi de se donner du temps.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Au risque de payer cher ensuite l'apprentissage de ce premier match de L1 reporté pour cause d'épidémie de grippe H1N1.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Les décisions ont été prises en l'état des informations disponibles.

Le film musical "This is it", qui revient sur les coulisses du dernier spectacle du roi de la pop décédé le 25 juin dernier, fait sa sortie mondiale sur les écrans. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Réalisé à partir des images des répétitions du spectacle, qui devait signer le grand retour de la star à l’Arena de Londres en juin dernier, le film de 2 heures doit être présenté en avant-première simultanément dans plus de 15 pays, sur les cinq continents.  &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Construit à partir de 100 heures de rushes, le documentaire rend un dernier hommage à la star.  "Le désir était là de rendre une dernière visite à Michael, de vivre une expérience de plus avec lui. C’est puissant, c’est émouvant, c’est divertissant, c’est grand", a confié au magazine "Rolling Stone" Kenny Ortega, réalisateur du film et ami de la star, à qui l’on doit la comédie "High school musical".&lt;/p&gt; &lt;table style="margin: 5px auto; width: auto;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody style="border-top: 0px none;"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;div class="aef-em-theme-default aef-em-theme-embed" 2="aef-me-title-arrows"&gt;  &lt;!-- container --&gt;  &lt;table class="aef-em-container" style="width: 405px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;  &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr class="aef-em-photo"&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HClKeEEqEm8&amp;amp;hl=fr&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HClKeEEqEm8&amp;amp;hl=fr&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;!-- container --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un succès programmé&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sony, qui a déboursé près de 60 millions de dollars pour les images, ne programme le film que deux semaine sur les écrans, une durée minime pour ce qui s’annonce comme un raz-de-marée au box-office. &lt;p&gt;Le studio assure que "des centaines de séances” étaient déjà complètes il y a un mois, à peine 24 heures après le début de la prévente des billets le 27 septembre à minuit.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Jeff Pock, analyste chez Exhibitor Relations qui publie chaque semaine les chiffres officiels du box-office nord-américain, n'a guère de doute sur le succès du film. "Je pense qu'on peut espérer 70 à 100 millions de dollars sur les cinq premiers jours, ce qui est extraordinaire pour ce genre de film", a-t-il déclaré à l’AFP. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A Los Angeles, les 3 000 tickets mis en prévente ont été arrachés en moins de deux heures par des fans ayant fait jusqu'à trois jours de queue devant le Nokia Theater de Los Angeles où se déroule l'avant-première. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“Selon les rapports qui continuent à nous arriver, en provenance de plusieurs pays à travers le monde, il semble qu’aucun film dans l’histoire n’ait généré autant de ventes si longtemps avant sa sortie”, affirme Sony dans un communiqué.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A Londres, un nombre record de 30 000 tickets ont été vendus sur la seule journée du 27 septembre, faisant mieux que les sagas “Harry Potter” et “Le Seigneur des anneaux".&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Un record de plus pour le roi de la pop dont les 800 000 places des 50 concerts londoniens s’étaient vendues en quelques heures. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1014034092260220429-7622537771012305877?l=heibnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/feeds/7622537771012305877/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/la-folie-michael-jackson-reprend-avec.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/7622537771012305877'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/7622537771012305877'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/la-folie-michael-jackson-reprend-avec.html' title='La folie Michael Jackson reprend avec la sortie de &quot;This is it&quot;'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07109707891206775415</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014034092260220429.post-3300588367484763589</id><published>2009-10-27T16:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-27T16:23:42.477-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Sarkozy promet 1,65 milliard d'euros d'aide aux agriculteurs</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="article-header-title"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;         &lt;/div&gt;              &lt;div style="text-align: center;" class="article-header-photo"&gt;          &lt;img src="http://www.france24.com/fr/files_fr/imagecache/aef_ct_article_image/article/image/sarkozy-farm-m.jpg" alt="" title="" width="345" height="261" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      &lt;/div&gt;                &lt;div class="article-header-intro"&gt; Le président a dévoilé, mardi, dans le Jura, un plan pour venir en aide aux agriculteurs, comportant 650 millions d'euros de "soutien exceptionnel de l'État" et 1 milliard d'euros de prêts bonifiés. &lt;div class="article-header-intro-credits"&gt;           &lt;/div&gt;       &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Depuis Poligny, dans le Jura (est de la France), le président Nicolas Sarkozy a annoncé un plan d'aide et de "soutien exceptionnel de l'État" à l'agriculture française en crise. Il prend la forme d’une enveloppe globale d'1,65 milliard d'euros qui doit être "engagée, dans son intégralité, avant la fin de 2009", a affirmé le chef de l’État.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Cette somme se compose d’une aide de 650 millions d'euros et de prêts bancaires bonifiés qui s’élèvent à un milliard d'euros. Ces prêts serviront à consolider la trésorerie de l’année 2009 des agriculteurs, mais aussi à engager des dépenses d'investissement. Leurs taux d'intérêt réels seront réduits à 1,5 %, "voire 1 % pour les jeunes agriculteurs".&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Les mesures annoncées ont trois objectifs : mettre en œuvre un plan de financement pour l'agriculture en France, lancer une "régulation rénovée" de la filière agro-alimentaire en Europe, et poursuivre la modernisation du secteur agricole français "pour préparer la PAC de 2013".&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pas question de "laisser tomber" l'agriculture&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;"Il n'est pas question que la France laisse tomber son agriculture", a assuré le président de la République, avant d’ajouter qu’il ne souhaitait pas "un plan de subvention contraire aux règles européennes qu'il faudrait ensuite rembourser dans 10 ans, tel qu'on l'a déjà fait".&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Nicolas Sarkozy a jugé "inacceptable" l'écart entre les prix payés aux producteurs - qui ont chuté de 20 % en un an, depuis septembre 2008 - et la baisse des prix à la consommation, en baisse de 1 % sur la même période.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Pour lutter contre ce décalage, qui "révèle une répartition inéquitable de la valeur ajoutée au sein des filières", le chef de l'État a prôné un regroupement des producteurs afin qu’ils puissent peser davantage sur les circuits de commercialisation.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Pendant son discours, Nicolas Sarkozy a par ailleurs demandé à la Commission européenne d’accélérer le processus de régulation du prix des matières premières agricoles, en particulier dans la filière lait.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Un "lien charnel" avec "la terre"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Enfin, celui-ci a annoncé l'exonération de charges patronales pour l’emploi de travailleurs saisonniers, afin de réduire le coût de la main d'œuvre en France, bien plus élevé que dans les autres pays européens.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dans son discours proche du plaidoyer, Nicolas Sarkozy a notamment décrit le lien "charnel" du pays avec son agriculture "et, j'ose le mot, avec sa terre", a lancé le chef de l’État.&lt;/p&gt; Jean-Michel Lemétayer, le président de la Fédération nationale des syndicats d’exploitants agricoles (FNSEA), la principale organisation de défense du secteur, a notamment demandé, ce mardi, un effort d'un milliard d'euros aux banques, avec prise en charge des intérêts par l'État pendant cinq ans.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1014034092260220429-3300588367484763589?l=heibnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/feeds/3300588367484763589/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/sarkozy-promet-165-milliard-deuros.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/3300588367484763589'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/3300588367484763589'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/sarkozy-promet-165-milliard-deuros.html' title='Sarkozy promet 1,65 milliard d&apos;euros d&apos;aide aux agriculteurs'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07109707891206775415</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014034092260220429.post-7877307601386674075</id><published>2009-10-18T16:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-18T16:04:51.448-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Microsoft Research : 5 prototypes de souris intéressants</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Microsoft&lt;/strong&gt; ne chôme décidément pas ces derniers temps puisqu'ils sont entrain de mettre sur pieds quelques nouveautés concernant nos souris.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;D'énormes prouesses technologies sont encore à venir, peut-être nous passerons nous de nos souris, mais pour l'instant, celles-ci peuvent encore servir. En tout cas, la firme de Redmond le pense en ayant élaboré ces différents concepts, avantagés chacun à leur manière, soit en terme d'interactivité, de précision, de liberté de mouvements ou que sait-on encore.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://i.iamxyo.com/2009/10/microsoft_research_five_mice.jpg" alt="Microsoft research, recherche sur 5 types de souris" width="550" height="309" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt; &lt;object data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6909902&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=0&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=00adef&amp;amp;fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="550" height="440"&gt; &lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt; &lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt; &lt;param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6909902&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=0&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=00adef&amp;amp;fullscreen=1"&gt; &lt;/object&gt; &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1) FTIR (Frustrated Total Internal Reflection) Mouse :&lt;/strong&gt; Une caméra s'occupe de détecter la position des doigts sur la surface arquée en acrylique. On peut imaginer alors tout type d'intéractions tactiles tel que le multitouch.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2) Orb Mouse :&lt;/strong&gt; Une caméra infrarouge intégrée dans une surface hémisphérique et une émission infrarouge dans la demi sphère. Un ensemble qui permet de suivre la position des doigts, mais aussi de totue la paume de la main.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3) Cap (capacitive) Mouse:&lt;/strong&gt; Cette fois, place à une matrice d'électrodes réparties sur toute la souris. Une souris plus petite, compact et surtout qui sera plus verte pour l'environnement puisqu'elle consommera moins en comparaison à ses copines munies de caméras.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4) Side Mouse:&lt;/strong&gt; Un simple repose poignet pour l'instant qui s'occupe de la détection des doigts à la surface. Cette souris détecte la position de ceux-ci. On peut aussi envisager de passer à deux mains, ça peut avoir des avantages.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5) Arty (articulated) Mouse:&lt;/strong&gt; Une souris munies de deux bras articulés, deux bras manipulés par le pouce et l'index. Un concept qui permet d'être plus précis que les précédents, pour l'instant tout du moins.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Pour ma part, j'ai du mal à imaginer que la souris reste encore sur nos PC de demain. D'autant plus quand on voit les nouveautés de maintenant apparaître tels que les interfaces multitouch, la possibilité de commander son Mac à distance via son iPhone, et d'autres choses encore.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Aura-t'elle encore un rôle à jouer ?

Je veux parler du Body Advertising.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;  Mais Kescecé ce truc me direz-vous?!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Le Body Advertising consiste tout simplement à vendre une partie de son corps comme on vendrait un espace publicitaire, et d'y faire tatouer le logo d'une marque qui souhaite ainsi disposer d'un support de communication novateur. Ce concept né aux Etats-Unis a ainsi conduit certaines personnes outre-Atlantique à se faire tatouer le logo de google dans le cou ou encore sur la jambe!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;   &lt;p style="margin: 0cm 0.9pt 0.0001pt 13.85pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Segoe UI&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;Le concept semble d’ores et déjà faire des émules     dans l’Hexagone à l’image du déjanté Tom French. En l’espace de quelques semaines, cet étudiant toulousain (et oui de par chez nous!) en Marketing e&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Segoe UI&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;st devenu la nouvelle égérie du phénomène Body Advertising .  Le jeune homme a eu     l’idée pour le moins originale de proposer la quasi-intégralité de son corps comme espace publicitaire aux entreprises. Un pari audacieux que Tom relève avec énergie et humour comme nous     le montre son &lt;a href="http://www.advertisinghim.fr/index.html"&gt;site internet&lt;/a&gt; (au demeurant excellemment fait).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0cm 0.9pt 0.0001pt 13.85pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &amp;quot;Segoe UI&amp;quot;;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0cm 0.9pt 0.0001pt 13.85pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;img alt="http://a31.idata.over-blog.com/102x238/3/28/66/23/TomFrenchfront.png" src="http://a31.idata.over-blog.com/102x238/3/28/66/23/TomFrenchfront.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0cm 0.9pt 0.0001pt 13.85pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin: 0cm 0.9pt 0.0001pt 13.85pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;     &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;Avec son sobriquet accrocheur, notre jeune marketeur vous propose une     offre&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;échelonnée en fon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: book antiqua,palatino;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt;"&gt;ction de la visibilité des partie de son corps (sculptural soit dit en passant).

I am about to expose one of the boldest cases of plagiarism you have seen in a while. It's big not just by the amount of used art, but by the amount of recognition, praise and ka-ching this artist seems to be getting! We are talking major art galleries around the world, museums and auction houses. (This is the FINE ART world we're talking about here, baby!)&lt;br /&gt;And, what does he do?&lt;br /&gt;He simply cuts out the portrait art my colleagues and I do for the Wall Street Journal and blows them up. He's flying under the cover of "newspaper clipping" appropriation, but does that apply if 99% of the piece is a blown up image of my drawing? No way Jose! I was informed that the Journal's legal team is on top of this case and I will post updates about it here. In the meantime ... lets examine:&lt;br /&gt;This is my stipple portrait of Barack Obama done for the paper in May of 2008. You can see that I blogged about it earlier right here in this blog:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My art:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JZ4pfvW9JJc/StT2RwRVtQI/AAAAAAAABD4/0hkEscdHnSQ/s1600-h/BarackObama.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 202px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_JZ4pfvW9JJc/StT2RwRVtQI/AAAAAAAABD4/0hkEscdHnSQ/s320/BarackObama.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392205438745163010" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His art:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JZ4pfvW9JJc/StT2TeCiB1I/AAAAAAAABEY/-rjJtZYLS08/s1600-h/Obama+in+paraffin%3F.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JZ4pfvW9JJc/StT2TeCiB1I/AAAAAAAABEY/-rjJtZYLS08/s320/Obama+in+paraffin%3F.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392205468210956114" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JZ4pfvW9JJc/StT2S9j-FoI/AAAAAAAABEQ/RcV-fkT-MkI/s1600-h/Picture+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 207px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JZ4pfvW9JJc/StT2S9j-FoI/AAAAAAAABEQ/RcV-fkT-MkI/s320/Picture+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392205459492836994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JZ4pfvW9JJc/StT5TjLXJPI/AAAAAAAABEw/L6F5dIHBSfw/s1600-h/In+Prague.png"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 234px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JZ4pfvW9JJc/StT5TjLXJPI/AAAAAAAABEw/L6F5dIHBSfw/s320/In+Prague.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392208768125052146" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can clearly see he is getting credited as the author of these portraits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is me in my studio holding the original drawing.

During this private meeting, Vaclav Havel presented American President Barack Obama - a portrait of the president by the Spanish artist José-María Cano.&lt;br /&gt;"José-María Cano generously offered this painting to Vaclav Havel as a gift for Barack Obama", said Leos Valka, director of DOX, Centre for Contemporary art in Holesovice, Prague. The painting will be exhibited at the Centre from Thursday, April 9. until April 27, 2009. After that, the painting, measuring 210 x 149,5 cm, will travel to the White House. The portrait is created using the encaustic technique of painting with hot wax.&lt;br /&gt;After viewing the exhibition Welcome to Capitalism!, which was on view at DOX Centre from last October to February this year, Vaclav Havel was enthusiastic about the Spanish artist's works. Therefore, DOX Centre's director, Leoš Válka offered President Vaclav Havel the option of presenting President Barack Obama with the portrait and Havel welcomed the idea."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This means MY DRAWING was given as a gift to Vaclav Havel who then re-gifted it for president Obama?! And it's now hanging in the White House?! You can bet your knickers I will do my damndest to let the President know he was scammed by the Spaniards and the Czechs! ;-)))&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All joking aside (yes, that up there is a bunch of winks, people!), this is no laughing matter and I invite all my friends, all you fellow bloggers, artists and anybody who's concerned about protection of artists' work, to please pass this post along.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and there's more:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://Chorty.co.cc/?Riflemarker"&gt;riflemaker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He's having a solo show at the Riflemaker Gallery in London on November 9th, by the name "The Wall Street 100"!

If you want to go beyond the built-in tool and for more in depth information and control, check out these five alternatives.          &lt;p&gt;Last week we asked you to &lt;a href="http://lifehacker.com/5372005/best-windows-task-manager-alternative"&gt;share your favorite alternative to the Windows Task Manager&lt;/a&gt;, and now we're back with the five most popular nominees. Read over each entry, then don't forget to cast a vote for your favorite of the top five in the poll below.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note: Clicking on the screenshots below will enlarge the screenshots to their original size.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://processhacker.sourceforge.net/"&gt;Process Hacker&lt;/a&gt; (Windows, Free)&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a rel="lytebox" href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/10/2009-10-11_104829.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/17/2009/10/500x_2009-10-11_104829.jpg" class="left image500" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Process Hacker is the only open-source offering in today's Hive. When using Process Hacker you're not just able to view your applications and services in more detail but to interact with them in a variety of ways—many well beyond the scope of the standard task manager, like hex editing the contents of a process' virtual memory. Process Hacker allows you to alter process security levels, terminate, suspend, resume, and restart them. For those "What is this?" moments, you can right click to search online for the identity of a given process and what it might be up to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.anvir.com/taskmanager/"&gt;Anvir Task Manager&lt;/a&gt; (Windows, Basic: Free, Premium: $39.95)&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a rel="lytebox" href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/10/2009-10-11_110943.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/17/2009/10/500x_2009-10-11_110943.jpg" class="left image500" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anvir Task Manger is available in a range of editions ranging in cost from free to $89.95 for a full security suite. The free edition, however, has quite an array of features that make it more than satisfactory as an alternative to the default Windows tool. From within Anvir Task Manger you can manage your startup applications and delay their startup to improve your boot time, and check processes against a virus database. In addition to common features like the ability to alter the priority of a process you can also right click on any process and hide the window it is running in within the system tray. Although you have to install it to unpack it, once installed you can turn Anvir Task Manager into a &lt;a href="http://www.anvir.com/portable-mode.htm"&gt;portable application&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx"&gt;Process Explorer&lt;/a&gt; (Windows, Free)&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a rel="lytebox" href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/10/2009-10-11_103700.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/17/2009/10/500x_2009-10-11_103700.jpg" class="left image500" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; Process Explorer is the free and portable offering from Microsoft. Process Explorer is like the standard task manager on steroids. You still get a list of processes, you still see charts of your usage, but both give you significantly more information and control over the information. Unlike the default manager, Process Explorer makes it easy to track down which file is being held by which program and get to the bottom of computer mysteries like why a certain DLL or DOC file simply cannot be deleted. It also shows which service is performing which function so you'll never look at a long and repetitive list of Windows system executables that are indistinguishable from each other—every one will be associated with its function.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;h3 style="font-size: 120%; margin-top: 20px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.extensoft.com/?p=free_task_manager"&gt;Extended Task Manager&lt;/a&gt; (Windows, Free)&lt;/h3&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a rel="lytebox" href="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/10/2009-10-11_112516.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/17/2009/10/500x_2009-10-11_112516.jpg" class="left image500" width="500" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt; If you want more than the default task manager can offer but you're not sure if you need some of the advanced featured offered by other nominees in this week's Hive Five, Extended Task Manager is a great compromise. Extended Task Manger can display locked files and which process is locking them, help you terminate specific processes to free files, provides a summary overview of your resource usage, and allows you to pause and resume processes. Note: we ended up having to test Extended Task Manager on one of our Windows XP machines after it failed to launch in Windows 7 64-bit.

Introduced at Apple's "It's Only Rock and Roll" event in September, the iTunes LP format adds "bigger than a matchbook" album art, song lyrics, video clips, and other extra content to albums sold through the iTunes store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brian McKinney of Chicago-based label Chocolate Lab Records saw some promise in the new format and started looking into the idea of producing for iTunes LPs himself. But the truly small labels may have a hard time getting in. McKinney spoke to the digital distribution manager at his label's distributor, who reportedly told him that Apple charges a $10,000 production fee for iTunes LPs. $10,000 may be less than the heads of Warner Music Group, Sony BMG, Universal Music Group, and EMI spend on breakfast, but could be cost prohibitive for the little label that could (if it had $10,000 handy for each of its acts).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not just the cost that prohibits the little labels. According to McKinney, it's also Apple. McKinney says his dude in distribution was told "that LPs aren't being offered to indies and that there are only about 12 LPs being offered right now."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Foul, foul, filth and foul," cries Cult of Mac's Pete Mortensen. Like a financial analyst moving a stock from "buy" to "sell," Mortensen says iTunes LP has gone from "the first digital album good enough to criticize," to "the first major content misstep in the history of the iTunes Store." Assuming that Chocolate Lab's distributor info is on the up-and-up, Mortensen thinks iTunes LP is "less a new format for music than it is a new form of paid advertising on the iTunes store."&lt;br /&gt;While it may be romantic to think that iTunes was turning into the record store of old, isn't it also unrealistic? Apple wants its customers to "think different," but may not always want to do so itself. The Cupertino-company's relationships with the big four record labels has gone from antagonistic to swell to antagonistic to swell to... well you get the idea. It's not indies that have bemoaned the death of the LP... Perhaps they have, but they have not been as loud about it as major labels or acts such as Radiohead or Smashing Pumpkins. Variable pricing for tracks in the iTunes Store (announced at Macworld 2009) was one concession to the big four. It's possible that keeping iTunes LP for the majors only (for now anyway) was another.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, all hope is not lost for the indies. Apple may make the iTunes LP format more accessible down the road (assuming the format lasts long enough to get down the road). In the meantime, if indies want to capture some of the iTunes LP experience, there could be an app for that. They just have to build it or have it built. AppleInsider's Prince McLean suggests the idea, noting that "any artist can build a custom app delivering whatever artistically interesting content they can imagine into existence," meaning bringing album art, song lyrics, video clips, and other extra content is something the indies might be able to do, or might be able to hire someone to do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There may even be advantages to hitting the App Store instead of the iTunes LP for the indies. Right now, extra content for iTunes LPs is married to the desktop or laptop. Buyers can take tracks with them on their iThings, but the lyrics, video clips, and so on stay on the computer. Where iTunes LP can go may change with the introduction of Apple's fabled tablet or an Apple TV update, but that remains to be seen. Additionally, iTunes LPs are pretty passive. Sure there's a lot of content, but - once it's released - it is what it is. No uploading new content. No adding new features. No interacting with fans. The iTunes LP is a digital package set in stone (unless they are sold as part of an iTunes Pass).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the flip-side, iTunes LPs would be great for indies today since there are still under 20 iTunes LPs available. With a quick production turn around, the local bar-band could share a pretty exclusive space with Pearl Jam (iTunes link), Dave Matthews Band (iTunes link), and The Doors (iTunes link). Compare that to the 85,000-plus applications in the App Store and the attraction of an iTunes LP likely rises.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many ways that this could be much ado about nothing. It's possible that what Chocolate Lab heard was not Apple's official policy. It's possible that it is official policy but that it'll change relatively soon. It's possible that the big four record labels will drag their heels, overcharge, and kill the format in its infancy. It's possible that people won't warm up to iTunes LP as a format. For now, though, word of barred access for the indies has some in a spin.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1014034092260220429-4782163546798328157?l=heibnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/feeds/4782163546798328157/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/itunes-lp-broken-for-indie-record.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/4782163546798328157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/4782163546798328157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/10/itunes-lp-broken-for-indie-record.html' title='iTunes LP broken for indie record labels?'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07109707891206775415</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014034092260220429.post-6259721068789113326</id><published>2009-10-12T06:00:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-12T06:05:13.337-07:00</updated><title type='text'>'Frankencamera': A Giant Leap For Digital Photos?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="http://media.npr.org/assets/news/2009/10/11/frankencamera.jpg?t=1255118739&amp;amp;s=2" src="http://media.npr.org/assets/news/2009/10/11/frankencamera.jpg?t=1255118739&amp;amp;s=2" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Computer science professor Marc Levoy of Stanford shows off his prototype "Frankencamera." It allows programs to be downloaded, much like the iPhone does, and might just change the future of photography.&lt;br /&gt;----------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's big. It's ugly. And it's made from recycled parts, at least for now. It's called the "Frankencamera" — and it might someday change the way you take pictures.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Computer scientists at Stanford University say the new camera works something like an iPhone: It can be altered in nearly infinite ways, depending on the applications downloaded to it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even the best digital camera on the market today has lots of limitations, the professor behind the prototype, Marc Levoy, tells NPR's Guy Raz.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Say you want to take a photo of your child playing with a new toy in a dark room, near a bright window. It's tough to do now because of the variations in lighting within that single frame. If Junior's face is visible and bright, the tree and the sky through the window will be bleached out. If the scene outside comes out just right, Junior will be so underexposed you won't be able to see the glee on his face. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not so with the Frankencamera, says Levoy. For the prototype, he and his colleagues developed a program that instructs the camera to take two rapid shots if a frame has both dark and light parts. One shot exposes correctly for the dark; one shot exposes correctly for the light. The program then merges the two images into one, taking the best parts from each.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And what if a camera could do the same thing for focus — take three shots, focusing on different things in each frame, and merge them into one crystal-clear shot?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to Levoy, these are just a couple of examples of how programmers could change the future of photography with the Frankencamera. The key is that the camera uses a Linux operating system. All digital cameras are essentially minicomputers, says Levoy, and they can be modified &lt;em&gt;a bit&lt;/em&gt; by the photographer. But the manufacturer determines what features are available. Linux is "open source," which means the camera owner can change &lt;em&gt;everything&lt;/em&gt; about the electronic guts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div id="res113692574" class="bucketwrap photo300"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Psi_njPBryE"&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.npr.org/assets/news/2009/10/11/frankencamera-youtube.jpg?t=1255119244&amp;amp;s=2" class="img300" title="A YouTube video demonstrating the features of the Frankencamera." alt="A YouTube video demonstrating the features of the Frankencamera." width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;" class="captionwrap"&gt; &lt;span class="creditwrap"&gt;&lt;span class="rightsnotice"&gt;Stanford University via YouTube&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;A YouTube video demonstrating the capabilities of the Frankencamera.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a class="genericicon" href="http://i2.totalh.com/?StanfordUniversityviaYouTube"&gt;Click Here To View The YouTube Video&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;-----------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- END CLASS="CAPTIONWRAP" --&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;Photography took an enormous leap about 30 years ago, after Willard Boyle and George Smith came up with the "electronic eye" sensor that allowed cameras to ditch film and go digital. Boyle and Smith won the Nobel Prize for Physics this past week for their work. But Levoy says that digital photography has not progressed as fast as it should have since then — and that's what he's hoping to change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still, the Frankencamera is only a prototype at the moment. Presumably, it will become smaller and more elegant over time. But Levoy says his team is not planning to try to compete with Canon or Nikon. "Our goal is not to make a product. Our goal is to try and push traditional camera makers to incorporate more of these flexible ways of producing images in their cameras."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And, he says, their goal is to try to make 1 of every 5 of the photos you snap a keeper, rather than 1 in 100.   &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But why can't you just take your pictures with a standard digital camera and fix them later in Photoshop? "Well, sometimes you haven't captured everything you need to capture to make a good picture," the scientist says. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Levoy is the son, grandson and great-grandson of opticians, so he comes naturally by his interest in things visual. He imagines a future in which the camera is able to make adjustments that better mimic what the human eye is capable of.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But the Frankencamera won't necessarily turn everyone into Annie Leibovitz. "The part that we're not automating is the part that's nine inches behind the lens," Levoy says. "You still have to be a good designer of photographs." &lt;/p&gt; &lt;!--googleoff: index--&gt;&lt;div class="container " id="con113716139"&gt;&lt;h3 class="conheader"&gt;How The Frankencamera Might Work&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p class="conintrotext"&gt;The photos below, taken by Stanford's Marc Levoy with a conventional Canon 5D SLR camera, illustrate how the Frankencamera might combine images to create a single, well-exposed picture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- END CLASS="CONTAINER " ID="CON113716139" PREVIEWTITLE="HOW IT WOULD WORK" --&gt;&lt;div id="res113716125" class="bucketwrap photo624"&gt;&lt;img src="http://media.npr.org/assets/news/2009/10/11/zurich2_custom.jpg?t=1255279538&amp;amp;s=4" class="img624 enlarge" title="A photo of Zurich.

But it doesn't have all of the features you'd expect from a fuller fledged browser like Firefox yet, such as stable support for plugins and extensions. And most importantly, it doesn't come bundled with most computers, like Internet Explorer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this year Google &lt;a href="http://i2.totalh.com/?googlevid"&gt;put together a little video&lt;/a&gt; demonstrating that many people don't just not care what browser they use... they might not even know what a browser is. So what's the next step?Telling the world exactly what a browser is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So Google has put together a &lt;a href="http://i2.totalh.com/?followupvid"&gt;followup video&lt;/a&gt; that explains that the thing you type web addresses into isn't called the computer or the internet. It's a web browser. And it's "the most important piece of software on your computer" because it handles all web pages. Of course, if you don't actually use your computer for web surfing, the browser might not be that important. But then you're probably living in 1992 and most modern browsers won't run on your machine anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google has also launched a new &lt;a href="http://i2.totalh.com/?webbrowser"&gt;What Browser&lt;/a&gt; web site to help explain what a browser is, what other browsers are available, and sure, how to download, install, and Tweak Google Chrome. But I can't help but wonder who exactly Google is targeting with this overly-simplistic campaign.

But as the series’ sixth film rolls out next week, and the young wizard and his best friends admittedly reel from nearly a decade’s worth of hormones right there on screen… I mean, come on. What &lt;i&gt;else&lt;/i&gt; were we supposed to talk about?&lt;/p&gt;                                                           &lt;p&gt;A strict Warner Bros. embargo prevents me today from telling you exactly how fantastic &lt;i&gt;Half-Blood&lt;/i&gt; is (expect more on Movieline next week). But I don’t think it’s stepping too far out of line to note the romantic tinder box that Hogwarts has become, a home to puppy love, uncontrollable obsession and make-out spots, where teenage masters of potions, spells and other magic can’t conjure the elusive cure for raging hormones. It’s not necessarily a secret to readers of &lt;span class="caps"&gt;J.K.&lt;/span&gt; Rowling’s sixth novel, of course, but to see it brought to life — with &lt;i&gt;these&lt;/i&gt; actors in the context of &lt;i&gt;this&lt;/i&gt; PG-rated summer blockbuster — is more than just observing a faithful adaptation. It’s almost shockingly subversive fare for adults.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Movieline asked the principals about that disconnect in their characters’ inner lives, where a shy, awkward Harry — who’s done nothing for years but fight evil and telegraph his attraction to Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright) — would sooner square off against a cluster of Death Eaters than engage the cute, flirty Muggle he ditches at the beginning of the movie.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote class="pullquote"&gt;&lt;p&gt;"I think it’s kind of a wonderful thing in the film,” Radcliffe said. “I find it very endearing with Harry. He’s this very acclaimed wizard, and he’s crap with women."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“&lt;span class="pullquote"&gt;I think it’s kind of a wonderful thing in the film,” Radcliffe said. “I find it very endearing with Harry. He’s this very acclaimed wizard, and he’s crap with women.&lt;/span&gt; […] I think this film demonstrates basically two types of teenage relationships: One, which is mine and Bonnie’s [Wright, who plays Ginny Weasley], which is that kind of teenage thing where you’re just in love. And it’s pure and innocent, and it’s all that matters in your life when you’re 14 or 15 and you fall in love with somebody. That’s &lt;i&gt;all&lt;/i&gt; there is. And the other kind, which is much more carnal and energetic. Which is the one Rupert was lucky enough to have. Those are my thoughts on the relationships in this Harry Potter film. But I think it’s quite true of most teenagers — that complete inability to control hormones or desire.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“Particularly with Hermione,” Watson added. “She’s &lt;i&gt;such&lt;/i&gt; a control freak. She wants to be able to control everything about her life: her destiny, her work, everything. And then suddenly she falls apart in this one. She’s just a wreck. She can’t control the way that she feels. I think in her head, if she could have chosen who to fall in love with, it certainly wouldn’t have been Ron.” Watson turned to Grint and winced. “In the nicest possible way! She would have chosen someone much more serious and much smarter and better suited to her. But you can’t help who you fall in love with. It’s out of your hands.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;&lt;span class="mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image" style="display: inline;"&gt;&lt;img alt="potteR-half-blood_300.jpg" src="http://www.movieline.com/images/potteR-half-blood_300.jpg" class="mt-image-right" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 20px 20px; float: right;" width="300" height="212" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Watson also tipped attendees off to the long-awaited smooch Hermione and Ron share in the upcoming, two-part finale, &lt;i&gt;Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows&lt;/i&gt;. “Rupert and I felt the pressure of this kiss,” she said. “There was so much media interest. This is like 10 years’ worth of tension and hormones and chemistry and everything in one moment, and we had to ace it. So we were like, ‘Oh, God.’ But it looked really good. I’m sure you’ll critique it in a couple of years. Please be nice!”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Fair enough. Another odd exchange arose from a question about how fame complicates love — particularly for Radcliffe, who intimated how he may have inherited Harry Potter’s romantic challenges. “I don’t really feel like I’m in the world of dating,” he said. “I don’t feel like a young 20-something in that sort of… I don’t have that sort of life. I’m working. I’m happy working. It’s not the case where I don’t have time to have a girlfriend. I do. I’m like everyone else, I suppose. It’s weird, because people always ask, ‘You’re Harry Potter — does that help you get girls?’ I was 8 when I started this. I don’t know what it’s &lt;i&gt;like&lt;/i&gt; to get girls without having been Harry Potter.”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;But could he ever date a fan?&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“Fortunately I don’t think that’s the case for any of us,” Radcliffe said. “I don’t think any of us are—”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;blockquote class="pullquote right"&gt;&lt;p&gt;"What?” Watson deadpanned. “I’m dating my stalker!"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“&lt;span class="pullquote right"&gt;What?” Watson deadpanned. “I’m &lt;i&gt;dating&lt;/i&gt; my stalker!&lt;/span&gt;”&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“Well, that &lt;i&gt;is&lt;/i&gt; usually the best way to deal with them,” Radcliffe said. “Just be up front with them.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;“He’s always there when I need him.

Since then, it has been an anthem, a demand, an ode to personal independence and the lamest heckle in the history of rock.&lt;/h2&gt;                                                                                                                                                                             &lt;!-- sphereit start --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thirty-five years ago, Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd -- playing next Sunday with &lt;span class="taxInlineTagLink"&gt;Kid Rock&lt;/span&gt; at the First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in &lt;span class="taxInlineTagLink"&gt;Tinley Park&lt;/span&gt; -- released the single "Freebird," and in the decades since it has been an anthem, a demand, an ode to personal independence, the lamest heckle in the history of rock. But what it has never been is forgettable -- not to the band who played it, not to the disparate acts who still get a rowdy "Freebird!" shouted at them, regardless of what they play or who they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The best thing about touring Europe is no one yells 'Freebird,' " said James McNew, bass player for the indie band Yo La Tengo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yet, Finkelman is right -- depending whom you ask, people aren't shouting "Freebird!" like they used to. Tim Rutili, the Chicago musician who once fronted Red Red Meat and now leads Califone, said he only gets "Freebird!" shouted at him "maybe once every few years."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which is sad, because what would going to a concert be without that one person who shouts "Freebird"?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet, earlier this year, the world came closer to no Lynyrd Skynyrd at all -- the current touring incarnation of the 40-year-old band was on the verge of calling it quits after pianist Billy Powell died in January of heart failure at 56. (He wrote the plaintive opening melody of "Freebird.") Indeed, the legacy of "Freebird" is so long and misunderstood -- whatever meaning it once had stripped by years of drunken hollers -- it only feels right to return that dignity, before it's too late.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides, there's a case to be made that whatever dignity it had, Chicago may have soiled it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Birth of 'Freebird'&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In October 1977, the band -- formed in &lt;span class="taxInlineTagLink"&gt;Jacksonville&lt;/span&gt;, Fla., and set to play seven sold-out nights at &lt;span class="taxInlineTagLink"&gt;Madison Square Garden&lt;/span&gt; -- was traveling to &lt;span class="taxInlineTagLink"&gt;Baton Rouge&lt;/span&gt;, La., when their plane ran out of gas and plunged into a swamp in &lt;span class="taxInlineTagLink"&gt;Mississippi&lt;/span&gt;. Three seconds before impact Gene Odom, head of security for Skynyrd and a close friend of Ronnie Van Zant, said he remembers grabbing the sleeping singer and slapping him. "Then someone said, 'Trees,' and I got thrown by the fuselage."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Odom lost an eye, broke his back, broke his &lt;span class="taxInlineTagLink"&gt;neck&lt;/span&gt; and lost a friend -- Van Zant died, effectively ending Lynyrd Skynyrd. "So when you tell me people yell 'Freebird' as a joke?" Odom asked. "I would say that's offensive. Knowing how hard that band worked, how much that song meant -- that's sad."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Said Artimus Pyle (also injured in the crash), former drummer for Skynyrd: "Someone yells it as a joke, I'm in that room, I'll punch them in the mouth. That's no joke. My friends died living out that song."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The origins of the song date to a 1969 rehearsal, said guitarist Gary Rossington. Guitarist Allen Collins "had the chords. He walked around playing them for hours. Ronnie was laying on the couch, then just started singing the words." But Odom remembers differently. He said the opening lines -- "If I leave here tomorrow/would you still remember me" -- came from Collins' wife. She was frustrated with the band's constant touring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Skynyrd had become a monster on the Southern bar circuit, performing five sets every night. "Thing is, though, people didn't clap," Rossington said. " 'Freebird' was the first song we had [that] people clapped for." So they kept it in their back pockets to solicit applause, even after they graduated to stadiums. Which is how the best-known version -- from the 1976 live album "One More for the Road" -- came together. "What song is it you want to hear?" Van Zant asks the Atlanta audience and gets a roaring "Freebird!" According to music publisher BMI, that version -- 14 minutes long, with the audience shout -- has been played on rock radio more than 2 million times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"People forget that was a meaningful song," said Tim Tuten, owner of North Side pub/music venue The Hideout. "It was about someone who wasn't going to accept what was doled out. It may sound goofy, but that was a real sentiment back then."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Freebird" was an extension of one's values, he said. "Anyone could play for three minutes, but real music meant real &lt;em class="i"&gt;long&lt;/em&gt; music. The heavy lifting. It was like a class thing."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuten would spend summers in South Carolina with cousins "embarrassed by Skynyrd -- because Skynyrd were celebratory rednecks. But music was getting wimpy in the late '70s -- Joy Division, Bauhaus. 'Freebird' was becoming a joke."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pyle puts the transition at about 1980. For him, "Freebird" had become "this defiant thing." Which is how it played in the South -- as a sassy thumb in the eye of encroaching cosmopolitanism, and a dare to other bands to deliver "the level of excitement that Skynyrd did," said Marley Brant, author of 2002's "Freebirds: The Lynyrd Skynyrd Story."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Patterson Hood, leader of Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers -- which released a 2-CD exploration of Skynyrd's legacy, "Southern Rock Opera" -- said he grew up in a small town in &lt;span class="taxInlineTagLink"&gt;Alabama&lt;/span&gt; in the 1970s and that song was "deadly serious, and still is. But I feel like I could write you a dissertation in defense of it as being one of the most underrated songs in rock history and I could write about its utter banality, and in both papers I would be sincere. To be truthful, it didn't even occur to me there might be irony in 'Freebird' until I moved from my small town to a city."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1014034092260220429-6177048976840951698?l=heibnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/feeds/6177048976840951698/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/07/story-behind-freebird.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/6177048976840951698'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/6177048976840951698'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/07/story-behind-freebird.html' title='The Story Behind &apos;Freebird&apos;'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07109707891206775415</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014034092260220429.post-5241753445207836587</id><published>2009-07-05T06:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-12-11T05:55:50.512-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='superman iv: the quest for peace'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flag'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='transformers 2'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the hills have eyes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='patriotism'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='DOA: dead or alive'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rocky 4'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='idiocracy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='easy rider'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cameo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='the rocketeer'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fourth of july'/><title type='text'>Strange Patriotism: American Flag's Weirdest Movie Moments</title><content type='html'>&lt;span name="intelliTxt" id="intelliTxt"&gt;&lt;span name="intelliTxt" id="intelliTxt"&gt;Old Glory, she gets around. The American flag is no stranger to movies, in fact by now it probably deserves a star on the walk of fame. Sometimes it's a backdrop for an important moment as in Patton, other times it's a rallying cry as in &lt;i&gt;Flags of our Fathers&lt;/i&gt;. But there are movies you expect the American flag to show up; In films about patriotism, war, government, or even the occasional olympic movie like &lt;i&gt;Miracle&lt;/i&gt;; and then there are the places where you just wouldn't think it'd be found.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what are some of the weirdest places the Red, White, and Blue has made its presence known? Here's a quick look back at some of the mostt extremely odd cameos from the Star Spangled Banner.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/13822/_1246690783.jpg" border="0" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Flag Burning Is Patriotic In The Rocketeer&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt; &lt;i&gt;The Rocketeer&lt;/i&gt; is the ultimate in the “hero poses in front of the flag” genre. In the film, Cliff Secord grabs a gun and poses hero style in front of spotlights and a waving American standard before hitting the gas and shooting into the sky. In the process he sets off a Rocketeer-powered flag burning, but it's ok since he's on his way to fight Timothy Dalton who, is in fact a Nazi and really has it coming. In the context of &lt;i&gt;The Rocketeer&lt;/i&gt;, soaked in golden age nostalgia, it's blatant manipulation but also weirdly appropriate. Make sure you salute as flames shoot out the Rocketeer's ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Superman and the American flag to go together like peanut butter and jelly but in &lt;i&gt;Superman IV: The Quest for Peace&lt;/i&gt; they took their patriotic love affair into space. There, on the moon, Superman fights Nuclear Man for the right to um… fly our moon flag on a straight flagpole. By the time it's over Old Glory is down in the dust and so is Superman who, might have won the fight had he not turned his back to worry over the Stars and Stripes. He's done in by overt patriotism!&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/13822/_1246690776.jpg" border="0" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Decepticons Hate America In Transformers 2&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;Michael Bay's never been a particularly subtle filmmaker, so of course when he wants to make us hate someone he goes for the something shallow and obvious.

Sure the Decepticons' real goal is to capture energy, but first they're going door to door kicking over symbols of our country, for fun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/13822/_1246690764.jpg" border="0" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Rocky Protects Himself With Patriotism In Rocky IV&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;That the American flag might show up in a movie in which Sly Stallone devotes himself to punching communism is no shocker. What's unexpected is that he takes the whole patriotism thing even further. Rocky loves the flag so much that wears it, fashioning his trunks out of the stars and stripes so that, presumably, he can keep his patriotism close to his balls. Who needs a cup when you've got the thirteen original colonies protecting your nuts from Ivan Drago's punch?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/13822/_1246691539.jpg" border="0" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Color Coordination In Spider-Man&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt; If &lt;i&gt;The Rocketeer&lt;/i&gt; is the perfect example of how to do the gratuitous hero poses in front of flag shot right, then both &lt;i&gt;Spider-Man&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Spider-Man 3&lt;/i&gt; are perfect examples of how to get it all wrong. Unlike Superman, Spidey has never really been associated with rah-rah flag waving and the film itself is hardly rooted in Americana or the us vs. the world mentality of something like &lt;i&gt;Rocky IV&lt;/i&gt;. Yet both films feature end shots in which Spidey poses in front of the flag for no particular reason. They both come out of nowhere, as if we're supposed to stand up and put our hands over our hearts just because Spider-Man's outfit and the flag contain some of the same colors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/13822/_1246690749.jpg" border="0" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Old Glory Provides Fuel In Easy Rider&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt; You wouldn't expect to see excessive patriotism in a movie about dirty, counter-culture, motorcycle-riding hippies; but Peter Fonda's character calls himself Captain America and not only wears more than his fair share of flag memorabilia, he's also painted his motorcycle up in red, white and blue. His gas tank is a motorized pledge of allegiance waiting to happen, and it's also where he stashes the cash he and Dennis Hopper plan to use in starting their new future. Alright maybe Captain America's trying to be ironic with the whole stars and stripes getup, but there's also something perfect in using the American flag not only for fuel but also to hide your ill-gotten cash. Even hippies like oil and capitalism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/13822/_1246690742.jpg" border="0" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;America Gets A Sponsor In Idiocracy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt; In the future of &lt;i&gt;Idiocracy&lt;/i&gt;, politicians have traded in their business suits for stars and stripes jumpers and the American flag has traded in its colors for sponsorships. President Camacho proudly rides through town clad entirely in flag, while on his bike waves old glory… except the stripes aren't just colors they're the names of sponsors. Later when Not Sure, the smartest man in the world takes over as president, he decks out in a flag vest and proudly shows off his patriotism, presumably by making “Ow My Balls” a national holiday. Like everything in Mike Judge's future, the flag has gotten really, really stupid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/13822/_1246690731.jpg" border="0" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Death By Flag In The Hills Have Eyes&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;The American flag is frequently used to inspire violence but it's rarely actually been used to commit it. In the 2006 version of &lt;i&gt;The Hills Have Eyes&lt;/i&gt; though, it's used as a weapon. While under attack by mutants, one of the besieged family members grabs a small American flag and plunges it through the throat of a freak. It's a blatant and obvious political statement by the movie's French director Alexandre Aja which, probably didn't belong in a horror film. Still, at least our flag went down fighting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/13822/_1246690718.jpg" border="0" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;The Flag's A Lifesaver In xXx&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt; In &lt;i&gt;xXx&lt;/i&gt;, the American flag is more than just a symbol of freedom, it's also a form of transportation. In the movie's somewhat limp-wristed finale Vin Diesel uses an American flag parachute and a grappling gun to transport him from a speeding, American muscle car onto a fast moving speedboat in the middle of the river. I guess there's supposed to be something patriotic and exciting about the symbolism there, of rebellious Xander Cage rushing off to save the world from bad guys using American muscle, but in a dumb action movie like this one it's more than unexpected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.cinemablend.com/images/news/13822/_1246690770.jpg" border="0" vspace="4" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Patriotism Enters Earth Orbit In Superman IV&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1014034092260220429-5241753445207836587?l=heibnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/feeds/5241753445207836587/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/07/strange-patriotism-american-flags.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/5241753445207836587'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/5241753445207836587'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/07/strange-patriotism-american-flags.html' title='Strange Patriotism: American Flag&apos;s Weirdest Movie Moments'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07109707891206775415</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014034092260220429.post-2447488777733802061</id><published>2009-07-05T06:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-05T06:58:09.492-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jammie Thomas'/><title type='text'>No Deal! Jammie Thomas to Appeal $1.92 Million Fine</title><content type='html'>&lt;h3&gt;Is it constitutional to fine someone $1.9 Million for sharing 24 songs? Is it copyright infringement to merely place songs in a shared folder? That and many more questions might be answered in the Jammie Thomas case where she recently said that she would be appealing.&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;img alt="http://www.zeropaid.com/wp-content/uploads/news/9040.jpg" src="http://www.zeropaid.com/wp-content/uploads/news/9040.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Jammie Thomas case has been going on since 2007.  Back then, she was originally fined $222,000 for sharing 24 songs. It looked like it would be all over back then, but that was when a new twist in the case happened – Judge Davis threw out the case citing a manifest error in law by instructing the jury that merely making songs available via a shared point is copyright infringement.  The RIAA appealed the decision to throw out the case, but the judge denied that appeal – paving the way for the re-trial. Unfortunately, right before the re-trial, it started to look like it would be very possible that she wouldn’t get legal council, but she did get new legal council before the case would continue.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Things started to look like it would go her way, but in June, she lost the re-trial and was fined $1.92 million. Serious questions were raised by many over whether or not that fine is unconstitutional as there seems to be a huge discrepancy between the fine itself and actual damage it caused. It is true that one can go to iTunes and pay $24 for the same number of songs. Many argue that the fine is grossly excessive. Not only this, but Richard Marx, an artist whose music appeared in the lawsuit, said that Jammie Thomas “got a raw deal”.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) has said that they are willing to settle the case, but there’s new details that have emerged that says that the Jammie Thomas case will continue it’s long, now close to 3 year saga. CNet is reporting that Jammie Thomas is appealing the ruling of the re-trial. There’s citation of what many legal experts have figured about the case, that the appeal is based on the argument that the fine is excessive and unconstitutional.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“She’s not interested in settling,” attorney Joe Sibley said in a brief phone interview with CNet. “She wants to take the issue up on appeal on the constitutionality of the damages. That’s one of the main arguments–that the damages are disproportionate to any actual harm.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The RIAA seems to be trying to dump any and every bit of blame onto Thomas though.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;“The defendant can, of course, exercise her legal rights,” said Jonathan Lamy, an RIAA spokesman. “But what’s increasingly clear, now more than ever, is that she is the one responsible for needlessly prolonging this case and refusing to accept any responsibility for the illegal activity that two juries decisively found her liable for. From day one, we’ve been fair and reasonable in exercising our rights and attempting to resolve this case.”&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Further in the report, there was comments by Thomas’ lawyers that the RIAA did contact her to settle the case, but wouldn’t offer any dollar values. During the trial where she was originally fine $222,000, apparently the RIAA offered to settle the case for $25,000.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It’s unclear on what other grounds Thomas is appealing the case, but one thing is certain, the case will be continuing and addressing the constitutionality of the latest fine. It will be interesting to see where this goes from here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1014034092260220429-2447488777733802061?l=heibnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/feeds/2447488777733802061/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/07/no-deal-jammie-thomas-to-appeal-192.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/2447488777733802061'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/2447488777733802061'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/07/no-deal-jammie-thomas-to-appeal-192.html' title='No Deal!

Watch it from beginning to end—you won't regret it.       &lt;p&gt;This cover of &lt;span class="autolink"&gt;Stand By Me&lt;/span&gt; was recorded by completely unknown artists in a street &lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="autolink"&gt;virtual studio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; all around the world. It all started with a base track—vocals and guitar—recorded on the streets of Santa Monica, California, by a street musician called Roger Ridley. The base track was then taken to New Orleans, Louisiana, where Grandpa Elliott—a blind singer from the French Quarter—added vocals and harmonica while listening to Ridley's base track on headphones. In the same city, Washboard Chaz's added some metal percussion to it. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;And from there, it just gets rock 'n' rolling bananas: The producers took the resulting mix all through Europe, Africa, and South America, adding new tracks with multiple instruments and vocals that were assembled in the final version you are seeing in this video. All done with a simple laptop and some microphones.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don't know about you, but it blew me away. Best version of Ben E. King's classic I've ever heard in my life. And I've probably heard between five and two billion of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1014034092260220429-98196507109829591?l=heibnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/feeds/98196507109829591/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/06/best-video-ive-seen-today-will-make-you.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/98196507109829591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/98196507109829591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/06/best-video-ive-seen-today-will-make-you.html' title='Best Video I&apos;ve Seen Today Will Make You Smile'/><author><name>Admin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07109707891206775415</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1014034092260220429.post-2060610594320298468</id><published>2009-06-29T05:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-06-29T05:43:59.170-07:00</updated><title type='text'>How do you beat a guy who throws righty and lefty?

This living piece of history is more than a YouTube star; he's throwing almost daily for the Charleston RiverDogs, the Yankees' Single-A club. And he's not just throwing: He's blowing through hitters like a Cub Scout through Skittles. At one point in April, the closer's ERA was 0.00 in 6 1/3 innings, and he hadn't blown a save in five games.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Last season, he had 23 saves for the Staten Island Yankees, with a 0.83 ERA. And best of all, the kid can relieve himself!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;He wears a specially made six-fingered Mizuno glove with two thumbs. (His Dominican teammates call him Pulpo, Spanish for "octopus.") When he warms up, he throws four pitches righty and four lefty. You should see the opposition when he does it. It's as if they had seen a ghost. &lt;i&gt;Wait—did you just see that?&lt;/i&gt; If a righty is up, he throws righty, and vice versa. Whenever Venditte switches sides, everybody in the Charleston ballpark is encouraged to switch seats. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;blockquote class="pquote2"&gt;A switch-pitcher? He's living history.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt; &lt;p&gt;"I've got to remember to tell people which way he's throwing," says RiverDogs radio play-by-play man Danny Reed. "Never had to do that before."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There are a lot of "never befores" with Venditte. The pitching coach has to file two reports: Venditte the lefty and Venditte the righty. And he should; they're two different pitchers. The righty has a 90 mph fastball, a curve and a nice change. The lefty comes sidearm and has a murderous slider and a change. He's a five-pitch pitcher! Once, in Little League, the other team's coach came up to Pat Sr. and said, "Your twins pitched a heck of a game."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;His college pitching coach called him Dexter, and opposing managers call him an ulcer. What's the point of saving your righthanded pinch-hitter for the ninth if Venditte is just going to switch to righty? Strategy is futile. Remember in &lt;i&gt;The Princess Bride&lt;/i&gt; when, halfway through the sword fight, Inigo Montoya suddenly says, "I know something you don't know: I am not lefthanded!"?&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;All this was Pat Sr.'s idea. When his son was 3, Dad noticed Pat threw balls with both hands. So he fed it. He had him throw footballs both ways, punt both ways, kick field goals both ways. Pat was homeschooled by his mom, Jan, who had him write both ways and eat both ways. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We might be looking at the future here, people. "I get calls and letters from people wanting to know how they can do it with their kids," says Jan. "But you have to do it when they're very young. If you try it at 9, they won't listen."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;For Pat Jr., it's meant a way to chase his dream of playing in the Show someday. "I know I wouldn't be this far without it," he says. "I don't have dominating stuff from one side or the other. I need both."&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Not that it doesn't cause problems. If he walks a hitter, fans will start hollering, "Try the other side!" People want him to sign autographs with both hands. And switch-hitters will switch batter's boxes, making Venditte switch the glove, starting a cat-and-mouse game that can go on for 10 minutes. Minor league umps now have the Venditte Rule: At the start of an at-bat, the pitcher must declare his throwing arm, then the hitter can pick his side, with each man able to switch once. Phew.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;There's been only one other such pitcher in the past century: Greg Harris, who threw one scoreless inning for the Expos, in 1995. More than 120 years ago, three guys are believed to have done it occasionally. The best was Tony Mullane, who stood on the mound with no glove and the ball cradled in both hands so nobody would know which way he was going to pitch until his windup. I've had bosses like that.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;But Venditte, a four-year letterman at Creighton, has a chance to be the best. If the Yankees bring him up—and at this pace it could happen within three years—they won't need a pitch count. Venditte can throw every day! And when manager Joe Girardi needs to call the bullpen, he can say, "Okay, get a righty and lefty throwing. In other words, get Pat." Of course, how would Girardi signal the bullpen? Touch both arms? Either way, it's a steal for the Yankees. As one scout says, "This could be an economical two-for-one." (Hey, Pat, ask for two salaries.)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1014034092260220429-2060610594320298468?l=heibnews.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/feeds/2060610594320298468/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-do-you-beat-guy-who-throws-righty.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/2060610594320298468'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1014034092260220429/posts/default/2060610594320298468'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://heibnews.blogspot.com/2009/06/how-do-you-beat-guy-who-throws-righty.html' title='How do you beat a guy who throws righty and lefty?

&lt;p&gt;This afternoon PETA sent a Katcha Bug, a device which traps bugs and allows their safe release back into nature to the White House.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;PETA hopes the President will use the catcher but has no far not received communication back from the White House, although they did not ask for specific correspondence.&lt;/p&gt;
