Russian officials rattled by breach at rocket plant
MOSCOW |
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's deputy prime minister vowed Thursday to punish "sleepy" security officials after bloggers posted dozens of photos of an apparently unguarded strategic military rocket motor factory near Moscow.
Blogger Lana Sator said she and friends met not a soul, much less any security guards, as they roamed around state rocket-maker Energomash's plant, snapping pictures, on five separate night-time excursions in recent months.
She posted almost 100 pictures of decrepit-looking hardware from inside a rusted engine-fuel testing tower, the plant's control room and even its roof at lana-sator.livejournal.com
Russian media cited a senior space agency official, speaking anonymously, who described the breach as a shock of the same scale as German pilot Mathias Rust's brazen Cessna flight under Soviet radar to land on Red Square in 1987.
"It showed a complete inability to protect anything whatsoever," the official told Izvestia. Space agency Roskosmos declined comment on the incident when reached by Reuters.
Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said the security failure was "unacceptable," warning in a televised meeting with Roskosmos chief Vladimir Popovkin that "sleepy cats" who failed to maintain security at strategic defense sites face punishment.
Rogozin, Moscow's former NATO envoy appointed to oversee the defense and space sectors this month, also criticised Roskosmos for a string of recent botched launches.
"We must take urgent steps to restore order in this sphere," he said, ordering Roskosmos to present a report explaining the underlining causes of the failures by the end of January.
Last week, a Russian communications satellite crashed, adding to a string of humiliating launch failures that marred this year's celebrations of 50 years since Yuri Gagarin's first human space flight.
What was to be post-Soviet Russia's debut interplanetary mission to Mars's moon last month was stuck in orbit.
In August, the crash of an unmanned cargo craft cast doubt over Moscow's ability to guarantee International Space Station operations, while the loss of a $265-million communication satellite hurt its commercial launch record.
Monday, Russia also delayed by 25 days a launch for European satellite giant SES, citing technical glitches.

Egypt's Mubarak back in court as trial resumes (AP)
CAIRO ? Egypt's ousted leader Hosni Mubarak has been brought back into a Cairo's courtroom for the resumption of his trial after a three months' break.
Mubarak is charged with complicity in the deaths of nearly 840 protesters in the crackdown against a popular uprising, which ended with his ouster on Feb. 11. He could face the death penalty if convicted.
Egyptian TV showed footage of the 83-year-old Mubarak, covered by a green blanket and lying on a hospital gurney. He was brought from a helicopter and taken to an ambulance for a short ride to the court house Wednesday .
Mubarak has been under arrest in a hospital since April.
The trial's last hearing was in September when the head of the military council, which took power after Mubarak's ouster, testified in a closed-door session.

Rizzi was born in Brooklyn and studied art at the University of Florida. He returned to New York in 1974 and first made his name as a street artist.
He became known for his bright, cartoon-like drawings and 3-D constructions. In 1996 Lufthansa commissioned him to decorate a jet with pastel stars, birds and travelers.
Rizzi developed a large international following, especially in Germany. Last year a school in Duisburg was named for him.

TV producer won't fight extradition to Mexico
LOS ANGELES -- A reality show producer charged with murdering his wife during a Mexican vacation is dropping his extradition fight and will stand trial in Cancun, his lawyer said Tuesday.
Bruce Beresford-Redman's attorney said the onetime "Survivor" producer has decided not to appeal a Los Angeles federal court ruling upholding his extradition to Mexico.
"He feels he is not going to prevail on appeal and he'd like to get moving on proving his innocence," said attorney Richard Hirsch.
He said the producer could be sent to Mexico within 60 days following review of the extradition request by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. Beresford-Redman, 40, is being held in a Los Angeles federal prison.
Monica Beresford Redman, 42, disappeared from a Cancun resort where the couple was vacationing with their two children last year. Her body was found stuffed in a sewer cistern.
"He is innocent and it is his hope that the court in Mexico will assure that he receives a fair trial in which, he is confident, he will be exonerated," Hirsch said.
The family of Monica Beresford-Redman has said the couple went to Cancun to try to save their marriage. They claim Bruce Beresford-Redman, who is also the co-creator of the series "Pimp My Ride," was having a long-term affair with another woman. His wife, originally from Brazil, owned and operated a restaurant in Los Angeles.
U.S. District Judge Philip S. Gutierrez upheld an extradition order earlier this month, saying that there are many pages of competent evidence supporting prosecution claims that the producer killed his wife.
"All of this evidence points to homicide committed by the fugitive," said the judge's ruling.
Prosecutors presented statements from hotel guests who said they heard loud arguing and cries of distress coming from the couple's room on the night Monica Beresford-Redman went missing.
The producer's attorneys have claimed the noises came from Beresford-Redman and his children playing loud games throughout the night. They introduced statements from the couple's 6-year-old daughter to corroborate the claim, but judges who have reviewed the case were not swayed.
Beresford-Redman had been ordered to stay in Mexico after his wife's body was found but he left and returned to his home in Los Angeles. He voluntarily surrendered to U.S. authorities after a warrant was issued in Mexico for his arrest.
Hirsch said that Beresford-Redman's family has been in contact with a Mexican lawyer who will represent him at trial. Mexican courts do not have juries and the producer will be tried by the same judge who issued the warrant for his arrest, Hirsch said.
If he is convicted of aggravated homicide in Mexico, he faces 12 to 30 years in a Mexican prison.
His two small children have been placed in the custody of Beresford-Redman's parents with visitation by their mother's sisters.

Leaked memo details Verizon's $2 fee for paying your bill; autodraft or ACH the only way out
For those unaware, AutoPay automatically drafts the most recent amount from either a linked checking / savings account or a credit card on file, and while we can understand VZW's desire to better control when it's getting paid, charging customers to make it happen is just downright ludicrous. Here's a thought, Verizon: enforce stricter penalties on late payments, or just offer those that shift to AutoPay a small discount for going out of their way to make your life a little easier. Or, you know, for all those hours that your network has been down during the holidays.

After Their Very Business-Like Win Over the Rams on Christmas ...
I didn't get a chance to see a lot of Saturday's game between the Steelers and Rams because of work (I plan on watching a replay of it tonight), but when it was 13-0 in the 4th quarter, all I could think about was how crappy it must have been to be a Rams fan watching that game. Even the Rams fan from the NFL commercial who painted his face and wore that fright wig must of had a difficult time sitting through that game. Not only were the Rams 2-12 going into Saturday's contest, but there was little to nothing to cheer about during that game. Even a spectacular blow-out loss would have been preferable to the way the Steelers methodically did away with St. Louis on Christmas Eve.
It made me appreciate being a Steelers fan even more, because like Maryrose has said on numerous occasions, the Steelers haven't played a game when they were out of playoff contention since December 31st, 2006. When you think about that, it's pretty remarkable.
It's almost hard to imagine watching a game with nothing really to play for. Even one of those end-of-season games where your team has everything wrapped up and is just resting its key starters for the postseason is at least a little enjoyable to watch because of the playoffs being on the horizon.
Speaking of playoffs on the horizon, the Steelers still have a shot at the AFC North crown and a bye as we head to the finish line.
Heading into this past weekend's action, the Steelers needed losses by the Ravens and Texans in-order to gain the upper hand in both the AFC North and the race to the bye in the first round of the playoffs provided they took care of business against St. Louis. Unfortunately, like the Steelers, the Ravens and Texans were playing two teams that were out of contention a long time ago. Surprisingly, however, the Texans lost to the 1-13 Colts on Thursday night, and even though the Browns couldn't knock off the Ravens on Saturday, at least the Steelers inched a little closer to a possible bye.
If you ask me, the prospects for a bye are looking a lot better today.
The Steelers may not control all of their playoff destiny, but the Cincinnati Bengals certainly do after they defeated the Cardinals on Saturday and the Jets lost at "home" to the Giants.
Before this past weekend, the Bengals and Jets had identical 8-6 records, but the Jets held the tiebreaker over Cincy. Now, at 9-6, Cincinnati only needs to defeat Baltimore at home in-order to clinch the final playoff spot in the AFC.
We'll get to see who is a more desperate football team on Sunday: A Bengals team with their playoff lives on the line or a Ravens team with a chance to earn their first division title since 2006 and the bye that would accompany it. One might automatically assume that the Bengals would be the more desperate of the two, but the Ravens are only 3-4 on the road this year and would fall from the 2nd seed, a bye and at least one home playoff game, all the way down to the 5th spot and road games throughout the postseason if they can't win their division. Also, Baltimore went 8-0 at home this year and may have the best homefield advantage in the AFC right now. Besides that, Ray Lewis and Company are a prideful bunch, and the last thing they'd want to see happen is the Steelers celebrating another AFC North crown after losing to the Ravens twice this year.
And I wouldn't put it past the Bengals to choke. The last time the Bengals were in this exact situation, it was that same day the Steelers played their last game out of playoff contention--December 31st, 2006--and Pittsburgh knocked off the Bengals in overtime, and Cincinnati missed the playoffs.
If the Bengals were to win, it would only help the Steelers if they won their last game in Cleveland.
I'm not too worried about that part of the equation. I know a lot of Steelers fans are going to be concerned with the Browns wanting to cripple Pittsburgh's Super Bowl chances, but the fans were worried about the exact same thing last year when Pittsburgh had to travel to Cleveland for the final week with a division title and bye on the line. But the Browns must have been more interested in their offseason plans than sabotaging the Steelers season, because Pittsburgh made short work of the Brownies, 41-9.
I see the same thing happening this year. Maybe not a 41-9 win (still a question as to whether or not Ben Roethlisberger will play in the final week), but I don't see this veteran Super Bowl team letting the Browns stand in the way of them and a possible better playoff seed.
My brother informed me last night that the NFL moved the Steelers/Browns game to 4:15. I was hoping the Bengals/Ravens game would be at 1pm so Mike Tomlin could know his team's fate before the game and act accordingly, but he won't get that luxury since that game will also be played at 4:15.
In any event, I'd say the Steelers are still very much in the mix for a bye as we head to the regular season finale

Live blog: Packers coach Mike McCarthy's Monday press conference
|
Green Bay - Mike McCarthy's Monday press conference gets under way at 3 p.m.
Stay here for all the highlights.
If you're on a mobile device, go here.
Here's a recap: McCarthy reported that several players who were hurt may return to practice this week and could play.
WR Greg Jennings may practice on Wednesday. Same with OT Bryan Bulaga. McCarthy's hope is to play Chad Clifton against the Lions to see whether he can help in the playoffs.
DE Ryan Pickett is taking some tests today to see if he can return to the practice field. RB James Starks will be hard-pressed to practice on Wednesday, which means he's probably doubtful.
McCarthy said he is going for 15-1. He wants to sweep the division. He didn't guarantee that he wouldn't rest anybody, but his message is that the Packers aren't going to let up against the Lions Sunday.

Analysis: Caution mutes US response to NKorea (AP)
WASHINGTON ? The Obama administration's cautious response to the death of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il reflects unease and uncertainty about the leadership transition in the reclusive country that has confounded U.S. presidents since Harry S. Truman.
For the past 60 years, the "hermit kingdom" has vexed the United States and its allies with war, nuclear tests, missile launches, belligerence and bellicose bombast. But since he took office, President Barack Obama has had to deal with the country at perhaps its most secretive point: an unclear succession at the very top at a time of deep concern about the stability of the regime.
Thus, the administration's carefully worded public messages have underscored the administration's desire for better relations with the autocratic nation and its concern about the welfare of the North Korean people. They are also gentle reminders that Washington expects Pyongyang to follow through on denuclearization pledges and improve ties with its neighbors, particularly South Korea.
The kid gloves treatment accorded to the North's youthful new leader, Kim's twenty-something son Kim Jong Un, has attracted criticism from some who see this is a moment to make a forceful case for dramatic reform and regime change.
But without solid intelligence of the opaque transition process and fearful of misunderstandings that could lead to provocations with the notoriously erratic North, U.S. officials concluded that the best course is to say little, wait and watch.
Indeed, the administration's initial reactions to Kim's death have contained little substance at all and were couched in niceties.
"All I can say is that we're monitoring the situation closely," White House press secretary Jay Carney said on Wednesday as North Korean state media broadcast pictures of wailing mourners, apparently overcome with grief. "Kim Jong Il had designated Kim Jong Un as his official successor, and at this time we have no indication that that has changed."
Carney added: "We hope that the new North Korean leadership will take the steps necessary to support peace, prosperity and a better future for the North Korean people, including through acting on its commitments to denuclearization."
Those comments echoed words from Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. On Monday, more than 16 hours after Kim's death was announced, she was the first senior U.S. official to comment publicly on the developments. In intentionally vague comments, she called for "a peaceful and stable transition in North Korea" and expressed hope that it would not affect "regional peace and stability."
Ironically, it was Clinton who first stirred the pot about a possible succession crisis in North Korea.
Nearly three years ago, on her first trip to Asia as secretary of state, she stunned diplomatic circles with a frank appraisal of U.S. concerns amid rampant speculation about the health of Kim Jong Il, who had suffered a stroke in 2008, and his choice of a successor.
"If there is a succession, even if it's a peaceful succession, that creates more uncertainty and it also may encourage behaviors that are even more provocative as a way to consolidate power within the society," Clinton told reporters on her way to South Korea on Feb. 20, 2009.
Her remarks on a previously taboo subject sparked great debate. In Seoul the next day, she expressed surprise at the uproar, noting that reports of Kim choosing his youngest son Kim Jung Un to succeed him had "been in the news for months."
"I don't think that it's a forbidden subject to talk about succession in the hermit kingdom," Clinton said. "In fact, it seems to me it's got to be factored into any policy review that one is undertaking. ... I think it would be irresponsible for it not to be factored into what you were thinking about."
That same month, U.S. diplomats were scrambling to collect any information they could about Kim Jong Un from South Korean, Chinese and Japanese officials and experts, according to leaked State Department cables published by WikiLeaks.
Unfortunately for the Americans, their interlocutors had sharply divided opinions, according to the cables. Some predicted the North Korean regime would collapse politically within two to three years of Kim Jong Il's death. Others foresaw a power struggle between the young and untested Kim Jong Un and rivals in the elite but differed over who would prevail. Others believed there would be little change.
One apparent area of convergence, however, was that most South Korean experts believed the challenge for the younger Kim would come after his father's death.
Thus, as North Korea's transition is under way, the lack of clarity has put U.S. policy on hold.
Before Kim's passing, the administration had been expected this week to announce the resumption in food aid to North Korea and a potential bilateral meeting on nuclear disarmament. Although the State Department said there had been brief exchange with North Korean officials in New York on Monday, both initiatives are now in flux pending the end of the North's mourning period.
The administration says it is respecting that mourning period by understanding that North Korean officials will not be available for discussions. Yet it has steadfastly refused to express any sympathy for the death of Kim, whose Stalinist regime is accused of having one of the worst, if not the worst, human rights records in the world.
While showering the late Czech democracy leader Vaclev Havel with effusive eulogies, American officials have refused to even utter the word "condolence" in relation to Kim.
"With regard to the C-word," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Tuesday, "I think we didn't consider it appropriate in this case."

Tango Card Aims To Make Gift Card Giving A More Personal Experience
While gift cards are certainly a useful and practical gift, the act of giving a gift certificate to a store can be construed as impersonal. One startup is trying to change this. Tango Card, which offers a gift card program for consumers, is launching a new personalized experience, called 'What I Got.' For background, here's how Tango Card works. A?purchaser can buy a Tango Card, and give this to a recipient via email. The recipient can then exchanges the value for the card for one or multiple retailer gift cards (Amazon, iTunes, Target, Starbucks, others) or they can donate any portion of their gift card to one of 9 non-profits (National Park Foundation, World of Children, Habitat for Humanity, etc.). Any unused value can actually be redeemed for cash. Basically, it provides a more flexible gift card option which allows recipients to choose and then stagger the proceeds of a gift card across various retailers or charities.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/dHOlLOy5sNE/

93% Pina
All Critics (45) | Top Critics (10) | Fresh (42) | Rotten (3) | DVD (1)
It should appeal to dance mavens, and to folks who have no idea what a pas de deux is.
The power and intelligence of Bausch's approach, which at times seems more cerebral than sensual, is communicated.
An intimate and ravishingly filmed tribute to German dancer Pina Bausch.
We are among these dancers in their pain and joy and longing. We hear them breathe, feel the heat of their skin, smell their sweat, sense the pounding of their hearts, the ache in their thighs and feet.
A tribute to Pina Bausch, one of modern dance's most groundbreaking choreographers, pic lets the artist's work speak for itself via big, juicy slabs of performance.
Wim Wenders' stylish 3D mirrors the bizarrely captivating world of choreographer Pina Bausch.
A welcome departure from the by-the-numbers fossilization in today's documentary deluge.
Thanks to 3D technology it's dance film quite unlike any other, which was filmmaker Wim Wenders' intention, and it's a transporting experience for the uninitiated and the cognoscenti alike.
...filmmaking as glorious music.
An amazing and appealing 3D documentary by the inimitable Wim Wenders on the innovative dancer and choreographer Pina Bausch.
A movie that does more than demolish the invisible wall between film and dance; it breaks the barrier that intervenes, even at a live performance, between seat and stage.
Less a strict documentary than a heartfelt - and visually gorgeous - celebration of Bausch's work and her mode of working.
Pina belongs in the rare category of adventurous material matched with a thrillingly immersive form -- suck it, Avatar.
Beyond a nostalgic tribute for cognoscenti, this visually stunning film is a terrific introduction. It will be an essential resource and inspiration for future dance fans.
An interest in modern dance isn't necessary to enjoy the film.
No es una pel?cula sobre Pina Bausch sino para Pina Bausch, una suerte de hermoso tributo o regalo que le hacen (y que nos hacen) sus bailarines de la mano de un director que filma como los dioses.
Richly cinematic, using the camera to direct our attention, change our perspective, and significantly alter our sense of the space and the shape of the dancer's bodies.
Unlike so many 3D films, Pina is a prime example of how big a difference the process can make to the film-going experience.

Clean Plates: 10 Tips For Throwing A Healthier Holiday Party
It can be challenging to host a festive holiday party without throwing everything you know about health and nutrition out the window. The more decadent the food, the boozier the booze, the more everyone will enjoy themselves -- right? While we're big believers in indulging from time to time, the truth is that a menu filled with rich, fried and sugary treats can lead to indigestion and other discomforts. What if we told you it was possible to plan a delicious menu filled with nutrient-rich, locally produced, organic ingredients that will leave you and your guests feeling like a million bucks? You're in luck. Read on for tips from holistic chef and nutritional consultant Lisa Roberts-Lehan.
Tip Number 1: Boost Your Antioxidants
As much fun as the holiday season can be, the reality is that it leaves most of us feeling stressed out. Minimize harmful free-radicals caused by stress with antioxidant-rich superfoods like cranberries, pomegranates, oranges, bell peppers, kale, and yes, even organic dark chocolate. Because each color contains different antioxidants, be sure to use a rainbow of colors in your cooking and baking.
Tip Number 2: Stay Hydrated with Water-Inspired Beverages
It's easy to over-indulge on both food and alcohol this time of year. To help flush out excess sodium, sugar and the toxins from alcohol, keep pitchers of filtered water available for your guests. Try our recipe for Filtered Water Infused with Organic Citrus Fruit Slices:
- Fill a water pitcher with filtered water.
- Add 1 sliced orange, 1 sliced lime, 1 sliced lemon and a handful of fresh mint.
- Refrigerate for 2 hours to allow flavors to infuse before serving.
Tip Number 3: Sub in All-Natural Sweeteners
Show off your baking skills and impress your guests with cookies, cakes, muffins and quick breads made with all-natural, lower-glycemic sweeteners. Replace processed white sugar with organic 100 percent pure raw honey or maple syrup from local producers, coconut palm sugar or date sugar. These options all have more nutritive value than plain-old sugar and can help stave off sugar-induced energy crashes.
Tip Number 4: Bring On the Whole Grains
Pick your favorite crostini recipe (we like this one), then swap a regular baguette for one made with organic whole wheat or spelt. If you're making a pasta or rice dish, look for products that feature whole grain organic brown rice, quinoa, buckwheat, millet or amaranth. Your guests will wonder why they feel so much lighter yet more satisfied from your crafty cooking.
When baking, replace all-purpose flour with whole grain options like organic spelt or whole wheat flour, which not only boost nutrients, but also flavor.
Tip Number 5: Give Your Guests Nutrient-Dense, Plant-Based Dishes
Surprise both your carnivore and vegan guests with delicious plant-based dishes that are easy to prepare, flavor-packed and nutrient-rich. Vegetable dishes help you fill up quicker and give your body the nutrients it needs to off-set the negative affects of richer foods and beverages.
Our favorite crowd-pleasers? Roasted organic winter squash tossed with olive oil, sage and rosemary. Cauliflower mashed potatoes. Arugula and goat cheese salad tossed with cranberries and spicy pumpkin seeds. Baked kale chips. And Clean Plates' recipe makeover of "Top Chef Texas" contestant Molly Brandt's Smokey Sweet Potato Soup with Pork Cheek and Tequila Cilantro Lime Cream.
Tip Number 6: Choose Organic, Locally Produced Booze
Yes, even the alchohol you serve can be healthier, for you and the planet. Avoid the chemicals used in conventional farming and minimize your environmental impact by choosing organic and biodynamic wines, organic liquors and locally-brewed beers. Up for a little mixology? Check out our makeover of Saveur Magazine's Eggnog, as well as these delicious cocktail recipes (featuring anti-oxidant-boosting cranberries and pomegranate, no less -- see tip #1!). For the teatotalers in your group, make the eggnog sans alcohol, or offer sparkling water garnished with fruit.
Tip Number 7: Dress Up Your Crudit?s
We admit it, vegetable crudit?s aren't the most exciting addition to your holiday spread. Still, many guests appreciate having an obvious healthy option. And crudit?s are not only refreshing and packed with essential vitamins, they also make an eye-pleasing display -- and, per tip #5, vegetables can off-set the effects of richer foods (and booze). Pair with a selection of two to three dips made with organic ingredients -- choose fiber-rich bean dips and hummus over cream-heavy options.
Tip Number 8: Feature Antibiotic- and Hormone-Free Meat
For nibbles to please the carnivores on your guest list, make your way to your local farmer's market and find out who offers pasture-raised, grass-fed meat and poultry without antibiotics or hormones. You can also use the Eat Wild and Local Harvest websites to find local markets and producers. Looking for a crowd-pleasing recipe? Check out our makeover of Emeril Lagasse's Spanish Meatballs.
Tip Number 9: A Local Cheese Board
Who doesn't love a selection of fine cheeses to accompany an organic wine? Make your way to your local farmer's market and sample the different cheeses on offer. Choose three to five selections and pair your cheeseboard with organic fresh fruit, unsweetened and sulphur dioxide-free dried fruit, and fiber-rich nuts. Yum.
Tip Number 10: Give Creative Holiday Favors
Send your guests home with better-for-you party favors. Some of our top picks?
- Organic dark raw chocolate from a local chocolatier. We love Nibmor Chocolates -- try their drinking chocolate in particular.
- A piece of fruit tied with a bow.
- Homemade organic preserves or chutney.
- Local organic raw honey.
- Homemade baked goods made with natural sweetener.
- A handmade ornament.
... and, of course, the 2012 edition of Clean Plates Manhattan or Clean Plates Brooklyn!
Got questions as you plan your party? Let us know and we'll do our best to help.

No Ice Cream Sandwich For Galaxy S And Galaxy Tab
Galaxy S owners will be disappointed to hear that despite being having a device nearly alike to the ICS-friendly specs like Nexus S, the Korean electronics giant has said on official blog that the company?s first Galaxy device won?t be receiving the official upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Along with the original Galaxy S, the 7-inch Galaxy Tab too won?t be able to join the party along with ?the ICS-upgradable devices, including Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy Note, Galaxy R, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7, and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.?
Samsung Tomorrow states that the TouchWiz is the major obstacle here as none of the device has enough RAM and/or ROM to host it and the whole of its Samsung-designed accessories without lacking the quality. Taking into consideration the countless US versions of the Galaxy S running with similar hardware specs, it is not clear whether your Captivates and Epic4Gs would be able to get Ice Cream Sandwich or you need to have your hand on any new device.
Now the question arises what actually the Galaxy S users do. If you are one of those who don?t want to switch to other handsets and really don?t like the TouchWiz, there is always a custom ROM route. If the TouchWiz has been removed from the update, the Galaxy S will become capable of running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich with no trouble at all. GSMArena states, while the experience is certainly not smooth, but it is also not despicable.

Civil rights leader had impact in Latino community
Alfredo Velasco, a local civil rights leader who helped improve the lives of thousands in San Diego County?s Latino community, died of prostrate cancer at a Carlsbad nursing home Dec. 16. He was 66.
Dr. Velasco, whose posts included board chairman of the Chicano Federation and executive director of the Sherman Heights Community Center, taught Chicano studies at San Diego State University and authored a groundbreaking 1976 study for San Diego County that showed taxes undocumented immigrants were paying far exceeded the cost of services they were receiving.
?It was a significant finding,? said longtime friend Mateo Camarillo, who also has spent decades working on behalf of the local Latino community. ?It showed that even though they had less education and were earning lower wages, immigrants were net contributors.?
Dr. Velasco continued to work as a consultant until shortly before his death, and he was a principal researcher on a federally-funded study looking at the correlation between drug use in the Latino community and the spread of AIDS.
?He spent his life trying to make life better for a whole lot of people,? said his first wife, Victoria Velasco, who lives in El Cajon.
Friends say Dr. Velasco became a committed leader upon his return from a three-year Peace Corps stint in Guatemala during the 1960s. Dr. Velasco was instrumental in bringing electricity and creating a water delivery system in the squatter settlements of Esquinta.
?He saw how much one person could accomplish,? Victoria Velasco said. ?His Peace Corps work changed his life and helped give him the impetus to change the lives of those in the Latino community here.?
Alfredo Frank Velasco Arce was born Dec. 29, 1944 in Calexico. He moved to Chula Vista to live with an aunt and attend Southwestern College upon graduating from Calexico Union High School. He then left for the Peace Corps in 1967.
?It was a powerful experience,? said Dr. Velasco?s lifelong best friend, Harry Polkinhorn. ?He wasn?t bringing electricity and water to places when he returned, but he was doing organizing and working on behalf of the Latino community here.?
Dr. Velasco earned his undergraduate degree from San Diego State University and a doctorate in human behavior from United States International University. His academic background enabled him to work on research projects that benefited the Latino community.
?He was dedicated to research and using that research to helping the invisible people, making sure they had a voice in the community,? said Irma Castro, a program director at Casa Familiar in San Ysidro who worked with Dr. Velasco at the Chicano Federation.
?He was a leading Latino scholar actively involved in community development and social science research,? said Polkinhorn.
Those who knew him said that despite his advanced education, Dr. Velasco had a gift that enabled him to connect with anyone.
?He had an earthiness and wit and comfort with people, all kinds of people,? said ex-wife Sharon Morrison, who was married to him for 15 years and remained a business partner and close friend after their divorce. ?He could talk to anybody about anything. I would watch him with awe talking with people about something I might consider to be so meaningless, and he would have this great conversation.?

Turkey and France in growing confrontation over French ?genocide bill?
Turkey and France traded barbs Thursday, with the Turkish ambassador recalled from Paris. Turkey also suspended all bilateral political, economic and military cooperation.
The French National Assembly today passed a controversial bill penalizing anyone who denies the Armenian genocide by Ottoman forces almost a century ago.??
Skip to next paragraphThe bill, which now has to be voted on by the Senate, provoked a furious Turkish reaction. ?Ankara is recalling its ambassador to France while freezing official contacts between the two countries.?
?We are recalling our ambassador in Paris to Ankara for consultations," said Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan, Associated Press reports.?
Ankara lobbied hard for the French government to shelve the bill and warned? of potential retaliatory measures. Earlier this week, a delegation of Turkish MPs and businessmen visited Paris to request that the government of President Nicolas Sarkozy abandon the bill.
"As of now, we are canceling bilateral level political, economic and military activities," Mr. Erdogan said. "We are suspending all kinds of political consultations with France" and "bilateral military cooperation, joint maneuvers are canceled as of now," he added.
Erdogan said that he will annul any permissions given to French military vessels to dock at Turkish ports and would consider on a case-by-case basis requests for military overflights and landings. ?The Turkish prime minister said that?"This decision is cause for concern not only for France where there are efforts to make gains through enmity toward Turks and Turkey, and in general terms, through Islamophobia, but also for Europe and principles defended by Europe."
The French bill requires a prison term of up to one year and a fine of $58,000 (45,000 euros) to anyone who publicly denies the mass killings of the Armenians during World War I.? In 2001, France officially recognized the ?Armenian genocide? but a subsequent parliamentary effort to criminalize it was dropped by the Senate.
"It is important, in the current context, that we keep the paths of dialogue and cooperation open," French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe said in a statement.
French lawmakers were vexed over what they saw as Turkish interference into the country?s internal affairs.
