Iran says recount shows election valid

Iranian officials said hotly contested presidential elections to be adjusted after a partial recount.

State television reported that the Guardian Council Secretary Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati Minister of Internal Affairs has submitted a letter saying: Sadeghi Mahsouli sec. Council approved the election after a recount of the votes of 10 percent.

Applications for new elections and allegations of irregularities, the vote was rejected.

Opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi says he, not the current president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is the true winner of the June 12 elections and called for new elections.

Jet Goes Down in Indian Ocean With 153 Aboard

A 153 people on board, and the carrier state of Yemen, Yemen Air, which is in the Indian Ocean, apparently near the Comoros archipelago in the early morning, according to a senior official at the Yemeni government and the atmosphere.

"I do not know whether there were any survivors," IDI Nadhoim, Vice-Chairman of the Chamber, said at the airport in Moroni, capital of the main island, Grande Comore Islands. Gh. Nadhoim that the incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, but gave no details.

Airlines Airbus 310 aircraft and 142 passengers, was carrying 11 crew members.

The site of the accident was not immediately known, but the health of workers in the town of Mitsamiouli, and the Grand Chamber, said that the appointment of a local hospital.

"We call on me to come to the hospital." "They say the plane crashed.

Comoros, a police officer said the plane was believed to be moving in the ocean. "I really do not rescue capacity."

Comoros is 190 km northwest of Madagascar and the same distance to the east of the continent of Africa.

Iran’s Second Sex

Iran remains at the forefront of women. The roofs of the houses by the strong voices, and the challenges of the most fear. "Stay, do not hide" stick Nazanin also accused the police (veto) until the age Jumayil Vali Street a day after fraudulent elections. You.

Photos attacking me: a woman clutching her belly lean from the University of Tehran, after the coup, and a woman for a long time after Gesturing to his men to achieve progress in the shirt of the Basij militia, the shiny; distillation of women shedding tears of indignation, and that the girl screaming and said, "We are all angry and they kill us all ? "

How can the revolution to kill her children? Generation after 1979 has increased, and not only, but in his head. Perhaps Iran can not be an exception to the rule that revolutions devour their own.

A friend told me she did not know his wife. Has a lot of problems in school, reluctantly submissive. Now, this is revolutionary. "I followed as it led us to surface." Death to the dictator ", which stems from the night was a rare and brutal.

Women in March 1979, as well. But when women got the revolution ousted. Appearance has become a pillar of the Islamic state. She told me a woman who was 20 when he was trying to overthrow the Shah. And it is just "" we want freedom, then, we have now. "

In effect, is simple: the laws could be imposed on the girl's marriage 13; discriminatory laws on inheritance, and segregation on the shores of the Caspian Sea, and the humiliation of his arrest revealed a group or an ankle length skirt) who received a bullet to the wind can show a flash of leg is forbidden ), the stifling of the lead artist who is known to raise his hands to his neck.

Yes, it is simple. From the outset, the scheme aimed at women, and appreciation that the patriarchal culture of the country to adopt the idea of Islamic dictates that the status of women in their place. "

And then again in Iran is not simple. One of the benefits of the massive demonstration of resistance to the theft of the vote, and the future is awakened to the vitality of U.S. citizens of Iranian society - a country in fact real people, rather than to a group of clerics who have the problem of nuclear weapons.

This is the difference. Iran has no nuclear, does not mean that there is the problem went away (on the contrary), but the sense that the approximation image, as well as any bombs or bomb, and set up for you.

Nada invited Iran and the killing of Agha Sultan peak bearded Mullah, who was eleven. Young people, and talk, link, called Nada, and only wants to live his life. It reflects the sense of trying to entice Iran to the beginning of this year.

In the sense, the women of the generation between 20 to take advantage of the revolution, and I forget that simple. She received The Ayatollah of traditional families to educate their children. Today 60 percent of university students are women, nearly double the figure in 1982.

Here close to the tragedy of this election. Vote is a chance to narrow the gap between the rapid development of the high level of education and women and order. Previous elections have worked for this purpose, and inspired the religious institution in the reform-minded.

Instead, the difficult group, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has chosen a historic mistake. Iran on leaves, on Iran, which was not yet born.

I do not want to suggest that Iran is a country thirsting for women to express their chador. As I said I am happy to Leylaz I was in prison, along with most of the reformists in Iran, the brain trust "in our heads, the feet of tradition and modernity." Rahnavard flower will be a strong woman, Mir Hussein Moussavi, the leader of the opposition, because they are inspired by suffering.

When I asked a friend of the supporters of Ahmadinejad in the case, and the sharp answer: because "with all the whores is Moussaoui." Cultural battle lines clearly drawn in the June 12.

Women's anger with the State, of course. But I'm also angry at the way in which the people of negative discrimination. Strong! The battle is hard! These letters from the applicant the old frustrations.

Courage and pain to find. We need to describe them Delacroix. We need President Obama to make the commitment - even right now in the medium term - to keep the name.

Islam has a lot to say about the rights of women, and clerics in Qom have a lot of training because it says the opposite of what I have said previously. Might be the revolution of women tend manner. But against the tightening of her home, and never at a loss.

Samsung breaks Netbook mold with Nvidia chip

NVIDIA on Monday confirmed that the Samsung Netbook on the basis of graphics chipmaker chips ions, the second project, which breaks the Netbook form.

John to make sure that small utilities, as well as the upcoming Samsung and Lenovo Ideapad S12, fully capable notebooks, Rene Haas, Chief Executive Officer of NVIDIA on Monday, he said.

Ion is the main PC Netbooks graphics, including high-definition 1080p video and better game support under NVIDIA.

Detection and Samsung Netbook Lenovo IdeaPad S12 - in August - first announced the key Netbook computer manufacturer for the application chip.Though NVIDIA NVIDIA does not approve specifications Netbook Choice Netbook range, branded Samsung N510, July, and sports and 11.6 inčni screen - ideal for Netbook territory in which the top of the screen is usually about 10 cm.

How the Mafia conquered social networks

Not so long ago, on the games in social networks are zombies, vampires and cuddly virtual pets. Now it is more in the style of Michael Corleone and Tony soprano.

You probably have seen it in your news feed: From MySpace to Facebook and now Twitter, the mafia-themed game more or less assumed. Gangsters, a game created by Playdom development company, is the most popular programs on the MySpace platform. Mafia Wars, which is owned by Zynga is a great success in Facebook. Social Games Network has an iPhone app called Mafia: Respect and revenge. And earlier this month, a Twitter-based game called Mafia 140 launched. The craze seems to have started with a Facebook app called Mob Wars, built by a small company named Psycho Monkey.The of many of these games are the same. You can find or join a "crowd" the social network of friends that The Game has been rebuilt. You can perform the mission, including "kill" other players in the rival mobs, in order to earn points. Your business is transmitted through news feeds or Twitter posts to your friends in the network in question.

Gambling racketeer with mania, social network developer may have found the secret to multiplayer role-playing - highly lucrative area ultrageeks - fully into the mainstream. They can build elaborate role-playing scenarios with points, levels, and weapons law, but without stain attached geeky fantasy-theme game in the vein of World of Warcraft. (2006 An episode of Comedy Central series "South Park" until the last summer.)

"Many of the core architecture is very similar to role-play in the past, and the results and so on are often the topics on this issue, but some are very general, indeed," said Justin Smith, who runs Inside blog Inside Facebook and social games. "If you compare a game to a dragon mob based games, they are in fact pretty much the same with different content."

"People just love the crime genre," said Mark Pincus, Zynga CEO to publish Mafia Wars. Bandit's game is currently the company's most popular program, with 15 million active users in social networks Facebook, MySpace and labeled. 'GTA (Grand Theft Auto) and the derivatives of the GTA games top lists, and I think that is more cultural than these games are more important to people than many other games going in other genres, if or more historical imagination. Fantasies of people who believe that it is closer to reality. "

There is another side to her: Organized crime in the real world tend to be in connection with the abduction of wealth in one form or another (drugs, money, games, whatever you want). When you get popular racketeer perception of life and transportation in a game environment, it is possible to put money in the blend. Most of the Web Mafia-themed role-playing games make money from advertising and selling virtual goods, and some allow you to collect more points and "level" by completing offers and surveys. It is no secret that some companies do little social games before, but it is a game racketeer particularly lucrative business.

"(This is) climbing its way higher, and the status and ego to be the biggest and the best and toughest," said Jason Bailey, CEO and co-founder of Super Rewards, the company partners with 140 in the Mafia power of its payment platform. In 140 Mafia, for example, players who want to speed their recovery from a game of poker can apply to "sponsor" for a service (and this will cost them money).

Plus, Bailey said, it becomes personal: "This is the smallest factor that violence also be able to feed the people and put them on the hit list. When someone does that for you, when someone kills your character .. . furore of the bars to people is much stronger and more that they are ready to return to a sports game or racing game themes. "

As with any online sensation But the question remains: Is it just a fad? From film noir in "The godfather" in "The sopranos" gangster themes has a long lifespan of their games but racketeer social networks can easily disappear from the service if something more exciting comes along. But the real lasting impact, social gaming insiders said, is the fact that in Web development makes it possible to hold a game in a phase of development. When these games hit critical mass - which is alleged Mafia game - it is easier to keep people around.

Short attention span
They also are less maintenance, "says Dave Kahn, chief product manager for the Mafia Wars Zynga.

"I want to say that the difference between what makes the most popular time Mafia Wars game that your traditional or traditional hardcore game is that you can have the same experience with a five-minute game and you can interact with your friends, "said Kahn. "I want to say a game like GTA or a game of this crime genre will be very popular if you can interact with your friends on a daily basis and it does not require much time investment for you and your friends to take interaction satisfactory. "

"You can come in and get out of the short sprint. You can play in 30 seconds, you can play in five minutes," says Jason Bailey. "This is not a first person shooter or a real-time strategy games where, if the phone call, you will get shot. It is really easy to get in and out of these games."

In the flip side, however, casual players who do not have a time of massive investment in a game is much more likely to be variable on whether the left. Time will tell how "tacky" gangster game show to be for players who are not entirely serious.

But after the attention span issues, perhaps the greatest challenge for the creators of gangster games is that there is too many already, and companies that make them have fallen in the courtroom that bears a battle ironic that acts as a mob war. There is a great atmosphere between Playdom and Zynga, for example in the recent alleged illegal use of the name in its advertising Mafia gangsters Wars game. And Psycho monkey Mob Wars creator Zynga sued law on copyright, in February.

"There are a variety of conflicts which are still in the process, and I think that generally reflect only the culture of the current development of social networks in the game now," Inside Social Games Justin Smith said. "There is a very quick iteration based on the adaptation of other games and turning them in a small way, and it has not many good examples of cases where IP is protected in court. So I think it will be really interesting to see how some of these cases play in the coming months. "

What we have learned in the Scrabulous-Wordscraper-Lexulous issue last year, when producer scrabble board game used to force a case based on Facebook imitator to change its name, intellectual property law for the games are complex, and many similar game can legally co-exist as long as they do not share some important characteristics. But it is not clear whether the mob war in Mob Wars and its ilk, and will be without bloodshed.

"There are literally 20 or 30 games on the mob-topics Facebook and MySpace platforms, and it is conservative," says Jason Bailey. "If you find something that works, they copy it and copy it and copy it to lead."

The rules of the game for racketeer games, and all other games social network that makes money through virtual goods transactions and may change dramatically when the social networks begin to introduce their system of payment. Facebook will soon start doing this, and is also circulated as a possible business model for Twitter. It is unclear what rules will be in both cases.

The $99 iPhone Is James Bond. The Other $99 Phones Are Joe Schmoe.


In the meantime, do not talk much, 3G Apple iPhone to $ 99 is a very interesting game. What was it out - - for a variety of means, and the magic of the price - of the transfer. Of course, not only for mobile phone companies, free or cheap as possible and the search for such a plan is not important and the monthly sale. But on the iPhone compared to only $ 99 there an other phone.

This is what jiteulhaetneunji. September that we outside of the original for comparison between different specifications. But they're looking for, and I am kidding. Simply by default, all devices in the United States by major telecom companies in the report that the price should be at this point we can see.

Of course, there is a legitimate competitor iPhone, shortly before the farm - - - T - Mobile 3G launch myTouch. But booking discount of $ 199 (or 299 dollars) and 199 dollars before myTouch seller. In the territory of the iPhone 3GS. The $ 99 series is a new game altogether.

$ 99 when I looked at the phone, and started thinking about the high school reunion. Some of the presentations as part of any successful business, and the boring cookie - cut off in the suburb, as part of the fat and overweight, and slop. And that's fine. But it seems to all that makes it worse. While each of the flags used in the other (in this case have something in common, a high school student), but "James Bond" reulbogo - I do not know write a full smoking. In my opinion, and other types of third-generation 3G phones as iPhone at $ 99 compared to $ 99.

The Video

In the pirate bay guys were guilty of the recent studies in Sweden and, perhaps, he was sentenced to a year in prison and was forced to pay 4.5 million dollars in compensation. But let's get back to a parallel universe, what is happening in the real world, they deal with before, and it is safe to do so within the next few years. This means that at the same time, there is no need to take, and what I can do better than to start a new initiative of the video portal YouTube. It seems reasonable. He did not want them to want to attract more interest, or whatever.

Well, VideoBay site is currently not a lot - a big logo of the search window, which did not have much, and some explanations:

To maintain the spirit of SPT, which was created using the latest technology ™, TVB goal is to use the new HTML5 features, and more specificly tags for OGG / theory of audio and video formats. On this site as an experimental game, and as such can be as alive, and drunk (EN) coding, so please do not bug us too much if your site does not work correctly.

Nevertheless, they "decided to give each of us has a sneak peak, but it does not work in your browser. A Sneak Peek allegedly thevideobay.org/20 / does not work. In fact, it seems, is a 401 izreshechennye mistakes, and So this is not a good start. Update: For those who want to try using a web browser that supports HTML-5 tags, such as the latest Firefox or Safari 4 Beta.

According to TorrentFreak. Pirate guys say that a lot of work behind the scenes - from the encoding is not yet ready, and the project should work to progress. I do not hurry, the window of one year or five. "

So, what is the big idea? Well, with the general view that the idea is to allow users to stay and videos without having to worry about them is offline due to copyright infringement, in the true style of Pirate Bay. Hello, YouTube, to know that?

They actually announced this idea two years ago, but I dare say, most believed that they would never pull the trigger on the gun.

Finish Line Of Space Race

On May 25, 1961, as mentioned above with President John F. Kennedy captured the imagination of Americans and people who put the contract up to the highest rate in our collective way of the species.

He wondered about the moon, and we delivered.

This declaration made by the Kennedy landing before Nikita Khrushchev's Soviet Union and lampooner angelic, and manipulate this aspect of the cold war in the sky, in the race for technological superiority of our quest to ensure that reckless destruction.

The Kremlin, and signed a resolution in the echoes of the Soviet Union won the first space and to make further efforts to obtain the absolute value of publicity and lack of recognition of the seriousness of U.S. efforts. Only in 1964 and the Soviets promised to attend the summit before jumping the United States to maintain space in their efforts to improve its secrets wrapped triumphs and failures.

Soviet lunar program, and has been crippled by the loss of the chief designer Korolev S., entered more powers in the fight against the Byzantine factions swept space mission failed, in particular the tragic loss of Brock Vladimir Komarov died during the mission of Soyuz 1. The faltering efforts to end the death blow in July 1969 from the failure of the Saturn V-class growth n 1, through the failure to provide due to the entry into force of the engine to explode a nuclear bomb.

Cheat my complete victory, and unmanned Luna 15 Luna reminded a few days ago, the American Apollo 11, in an attempt to obtain a sample of the lunar calendar on the ground before returning Apollo. This failure to die, and the education of the Kremlin was not interested in an effort wasteful moon lunar race programs and soon, according to historical factors and the landfills.

With the openness and the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Soviet bloc, and the efforts of the Russian debt in the light of the moon. With the presence of large tracts of nine Soviet detectors or air, or the perception of - the military, led by the United States to the space station, a weapon against satellite, and even in the nuclear area of the mine - an issue that can hide deep in the mystery of the Soviet Union.

The Ice on the Moon is Better

News articles on the Telegraph web site since February this year, found in the cool relations between Russia and the United States, hint, and the possibility of a new Cold War in space. Adrian Blomfield in the piece, "Russia sees the moon, NASA plans to land" for the reports that Russian officials claim their country, show that the United States to participate in joint efforts Rebuffo moon.

Why?

Because. Ice on the Moon better.

And why not?

While it is easy to imagine the Star Wars Cantina this odd comment (in subtitles), the real reason that, assuming there is ice there, it is necessary, as the Earth's ice, brimful of the isotope of helium called helium 3rd

A large supply of helium 3 - rare on Earth but abundant in space - at the same time as another Unperfect fusion technology, can provide effective and appropriate source of energy, a clean alternative to fossil fuel energy famine on the earth.

Russia's claim that the United States wants to control.

From the article:

... Many of the Space Program Moscow think Washington wants to promote the lunar calendar Monopole helium-3 extraction. They argued that President Bush has moved helium-3 experts in key positions in the NASA Advisory Council.

Plot, says Erik Galimov, an academic with the Russian Academy of Sciences, would "enable the U.S. to impose control in the energy market 20 years from now, and the Council on his knees as hydrocarbons in the end."

If you look below the surface, these comments echo empty unsuccesfully, bellicose accusations Soviet-era propaganda rhetoric.

If you were a Russian, I am not proud that my part of the Soviet heritage.

The lynch pin in this argument is for the successful implementation of a nuclear fusion reactor. Although there were significant achievements in fusion research, opinions differ, the work of thermonuclear reactor possible. The reality is that it is still not possible, it is not possible to predict when it will be.

And, of course: it is the ice on the Moon?

As in most other news Bombarda the western world, I heard the amazing discovery of what was interpreted as water ice at the lunar poles, in accordance with the Navy, the Clementine satellite. For each, but the interest in space flight, when the obvious possibility - the supply of water by hand and settlers with oxygen and hydrogen energy missile returning to Earth. Will be held elsewhere.

Then, the radio astronomy was a multitude of candy in our mouth when it decided that the assumption that the detection method, Clementine, is incorrect.

This was followed by the Lunar prospector, who has followed several challenges and assumptions used in the detection methodology.

(And ... and back. ... And back and forth).

Almost seems as if the scientific community agrees on the lunar ice, if it landed in the White House lawn.

If at a later date.

(Oops, sorry ... I'm thinking about something else.)

Excellent, though somewhat technical discussion of these issues is presented in a planetary scientist Paul Potatoes "Space article" Ice on the Moon. "

His reply? A definite maybe.

Unresolved dispute on the existence or non existence of lunar ice background of rising tensions in the global clean energy, it can offer, is hauntingly on the subject, David S. Michaels and me. Two of the three stories of our new Red Moon is set near future, in 2019, and the dispute over the existence of lunar ice - and the desire for control over the use of all existing helium 3 as an energy source - the inclusion of these good stories.

Prophetic?

(Ehhhh ... it shall not be carried away.)

Although the red moon, the hero, the expected search "mother sediment" of ice on the Moon called in our history, raises interesting questions, particularly in the position, we wanted our characters to find him.

Accepted wisdom about the best place to find ice on the Moon, on poles and on the crater floor, where the sun can not reach. If you would like to about 13 degrees north latitude - only 200 km north of the equator the moon - to what is known as the Mare Crisium, Sea crisis.

No misty crater floors there.

To achieve the "willing suspension of disbelief" of readers (some of which may air professionals working in the company, which has led us in the first place), we have for our home. Even at the beginning of knowledge, learn how to start, when it came to the lunar and planetary geology (which is called "astrogeology), you actually something better. Dave has been a consultant.

Dave from the "friends and partners in the Space" list, and this list has developed contacts with a number of space experts. And I found just the person we need to: David M. Harland.

Dr Harland, who has a doctorate in computer science and BS in astronomy, is undoubtedly one of the main - if not the key - the space historian and the world. He is the author of a large stack of books (published on my cat, down half a page), including the Exploring the Moon: The Apollo Expedition and Jupiter Odyssey: NASA Galileo mission. In addition to helping us in this problem to lunar geology, Dr. Harland early projects as Red Moon, and if you need guidance and adjustment, especially regarding the environment and lunar geology.

6 weeks before finding out the cause of death of Jackson?

Jobs in connection with six Los Angeles County coroner office to determine cause of death MAIKERUJAKUSON need about a week.

When the body HABIJAKUSON, the family will be published on Sunday 11 mortuary.The people in different ways, all die the king of pop hit, a friend of a friend, a TV, select the radio coverage and on the Internet.

Shortly after the announcement of the death 2 hours, 19 of the school with all the funds to complete the exchange of India and JIAREKODO City, in connection with the singer sold out.

"This is total madness" Bernadette and Hankinson, the manager said. I will to some people, go to the section we will look at something and demand, it is Michael Jackson? "

Eventually, 13 Sunday, one of the last two items, "Thriller" is the vinyl record albums and singles, "I could find a way to Jackson I know."

You still have not Jackson, music and movies and special orders, you can get or can not fill orders for customers.

Sesame Workshop: Video games good for kids

The new report (PDF) published by the Joan ganz Clooney sesame workshop to discuss the potential positive impact on the game to teach children and promote their physical well-being. (And if you can not believe the fine people sesame workshop, you can trust?)

Study the impact of games for children were mostly successful in the end, with special emphasis on security in virtual worlds and devices as the Nintendo Wii to promote physical activity.

New Report "Game changer: Investing in Digital Advance Games Learning & Child Health (PDF) invites educators and government and health at the negative stereotypes about the game.

Video games are proven to help children learn the importance of 21 centuries, including:

Content * (in dictionary rich history of science)
* Capacity (from the complex skills of problem solving in mathematics)
* Construction of facilities (from the video equipment code)
* Ecosystem thinking (how to change the element on all)

Experts in digital learning interviewed for this study concluded that digital games have great potential. Children love to play, but research has shown is not quite exactly why and how they work and the design of specific training objectives. Until more is known, our nation can not fully use its advantages.

Michael Jackson dies: Twitter's good luck

The difference between professional and citizen journalism and the press is relatively simple: one does not pay for the signing of what we see and hear, and the second is to be paid accordingly, and have the confidence to report what we see and hear.

To the excitement at the end used to the comments, posts, and the wall, but Michael Jackson might be dead, whereas professional sources that have not yet applied for such things (at the time of the publication of any event). Here's an example I saw on the screen: twitter completely crazy about this news. Look for me to supply all the major talk and spread rumors, and news stories linked to round left, right and center. This makes me think of twitter and the engines are similar to no more than common machine.

Gave two examples include the Hudson River prior to the incident and the arrest of terrorists in a British university. This is reported by the citizen in the professional press and journalists able to report. But out, I saw a continuous flow of information leakage, just as it was. When you try to gain the credibility of the ideas that the person presented to the public forum, such as birds singing, opens the possibility of other adverse consequences process.Even at that time, the BBC News that such a comment on twitter, "unconfirmed" just the facts. But the fact that it is still uncertain to inform the public does not know, but to go to the proliferation of social media. However, the BBC, stressing that especially at this stage, it is important that news reports based on facts only through official sources and those who do not idle. (23:10 BST).

From my perspective, here, on twitter, and another to the Internet is based on right or wrong, and just yesterday I had said, according to the examples mentioned above, in Iran last week that twitter is a great way to keep the same level of news . Now I am not so sure. Is the amount which was previously scattered unconfirmed news on the current situation, put your reputation in social media and shame.

News sites swamped following Michael Jackson's death

The traffic numbers are starting to roll now, and it appears that online news sites fared poorly handling the influx of traffic after the death of singer Michael Jackson.

Keynote Systems, a company that tracks the effectiveness of a website, it is understood that the review, which covers more than 30 on-line news services covering the existence of the association shows that, on average, fell 86 percent from 100 percent. Average time to enter the homepage of the upper half of the sites jumped 4.2 seconds to 8 / 9 seconds.

Shawn White, director of the main ideas of foreign operations, said one of you that saw the largest decrease in missed work and was CBSnews.com Latimes.com ABCNews.com.

"ABCNews.com went as low as 11 percent from about two hours," said White.

If the news is the death of an iconic performer began trickling out, the results of people to return to the web news. TMZ broke the news of Jackson, 50, known for producing some of the best-selling world, including the "melodrama" and "bad", died Thursday afternoon, but the gossip hub unidentified sources cited, and only offered a few details.

Superstar Michael Jackson died too soon

M doing. Feeling very strange. Michael Jackson has died. It is only (50 years), which is a milestone. Only the best, as is always the case, which was published in February and re-selling albums and 25th anniversary of "Thriller contract.
London plans for the operation of this exhibition was the first minister in the next few weeks. Michael probably career, but I have orgasm when I'm not sure of the music. Returned 50 August last, has done some radio interviews. I think all DJs, such as Michael Jackson and made a return. If this, the last 10 years or more, and news coverage, I wanted to say to the judge that at the end of the discussion. Answer is "Yes, this is true."

People in general, and the fact that underestimate the power of music to us. We sometimes forget how great the song was removed and good news for us and you smile and dance to make the experience more fun to remember it. Michael Jackson in the form of art can make some of the artists songs such as "Billie Jean", and all age groups, races and nations, is to reach people.

Michael once again for many years, and this great artist and a member of Jackson 5

"I do not think so, because I do not want Michael Jackson," said Jean-Louis. "He always returns home and impregnable place (50) is far behind the concert was about to arrive. And as I was, or what life is crazy and dark period, in the context of research in terms of the poor of this" music, even in the busy time, truly the king of pop "

I Moonwalker dance move, but nothing like I learned all of the year 1984 and I saw the famous Motown 25 television special that has happened, to explain the anniversary.

I was shy as a child of my red and black jackets and the "movie", insert the video, I think, but good.

Iran's Democratic Upsurge

Serena Israel design or "only democracy in the Middle East," jokes have been exposed to the world could be crazy at the same time.

Lebanon general elections in June 2009 decreased by a small but important history of the cause of democracy in the country to move to the main dictionary. Saad Al-14 March - Hariri coalition victory of Hezbollah, which is now left for the remaining 58 seats 128-71 - members of Congress - led coalition government. Israel and the United States for the Allies - Western "victory since the draw at this result, quickly defeat Hezbollah. This is not the case. K 3 in Lebanon in May 14, the coalition victory triumph of democracy - Hizbollah shared victory.

What is the state of Israel is a racist, because racism, lack of it, except his, and sees the world through the lens is sueopseup. The victory of Allied Forces in Lebanon, March 14, is now firmly down on Hezbollah and its allies, including a victory in the National Assembly with the election process. Hizbollah in Lebanon and the civil society, not only within the doelppunman now no, no institutionalized democratic process and political organization, Hezbollah, and in any case, it may be with all of Israel as barbaric National Liberation Army is to defend our country, This is done without its position.

Similarly, the Arab and Islamic world the Democratic party's victory, it is absolutely bum President Obama, or performances in Cairo, can not be together with his army to kill illegal occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan is a Muslim-democracy in the region could see was preaching.

Lebanon on the heels of the election, the cause of democracy and March, the transition to more daring and reckless, but because the promotion of democracy, but not in the U.S. despite the fact it is the opposite. At the time of writing, the inside and the heart of millions of his country, Iran official painter of the results. Given what happened in the coup so far to go. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared a clear winner, perfect for the official results, the validity of this question is a legitimate reason. The only question is, naturally, can be proud that participation in collective political will is a special form. Participation in this unprecedented and the Islamic Republic of Iran clearly undemocratic rule out that the opposition and condemned by the famous modern history of Iran, the site used to damage the legitimacy of the organization was illegal abuse.

National Assembly elections in four years during presidential elections in the Islamic Republic of Iran baffler paradox and fascinating world of the countries were democratic theocracy. During the presidential campaign, to RALLY for long and loudly warriors queue extended from under the shadow of Israel, threatening military strike was voted. Israel is a propaganda machine to dispose of the world will be populist demagogues like Ahmadinejad "Iran dictator", as their spokesman in New York, a trust, Columbia University President Bollinger, the place. And the fate of others before (USA / Israel, of course) may be determined by the people of the Lord of the East, depending on the model. Iran, Haggai Ram, a small number of scholars from Israel as the courage of its Anti-Iranophobia aptly Israel, Iran and Israel-pathological obsession now reached, and the percentage of case studies - is shown delusional hysteria is feeding itself.

Reality of Iranian politics, world again another picture of a witness in the United States is large and Israeli propaganda is the only food in the world. Commitments to the life and swilteum stringent and are difficult to ignore the democratic rights. Organization of the Islamic Republic biminjujeok - velayat start of ideas - e-Faqih, or rule body Clerici conservative Guardian Council - a democratic Iran, but attack is not an obstacle to democracy in the invitation you received. What is the voters, young and old, men and women, is much more important than ambiguous on the aging head of the conflict only. They are pushing the limits of their democratic exercises and uninterrupted undurchschaubar directions. Internet and international context, Iran, people connections, and their spiritual pushups in Tehran and Qom, and outside the control of a wide array of features and is a catalyst for change.

This is nothing more than a fight between the generations. Iranian society is rapidly changing. It can be said about the aging of the Islamic Republic to reduce or keep to what you expected. But in the world by wire and gieodeu people, more than 60% of voters, and now is essentially a draft restrictions will change. They not only ignored, but are sublimating. At the time when the red line in Iran, the seasoned players to exercise their political muscle sutyiipnida. Pretty in the U.S. presidential election in 2008 on the Internet - savvy outmanoeuvred Obama said McCain's ambiguous actions. The same is true for Peace - Hussein Mousavi, Mehdi Karrubi and the campaign, reformist candidates on the one hand, and Banda contrast, Ahmadinejad Iran, Mohsen Reza, and - 42 Mousavi platform community urban middle class, youth, women. Demagogy of Ahmadinejad's economic foundation for rural and urban poor. All they ask for assistance in the districts, it is experienced.

She revolution against the current population growth. Children born in late 1970 after the Iranian revolution and the language of hope and memory of furies not active enough care, said that to write. About 1,988 years after the end of four years - the war in Iraq and Ayatollah Khomeini's death in 1989 to increase Iranian voters increased. Their vote for the 1989 rape Mountain Johnny eight years ago when I was in the creation of war, for the reconstruction of economic infrastructure upstart nation. If yes, in 1997, Mohammed Khatami, civil society, that people choose a small amount of wide open - and companies to reform yet did nothing - or little - tteonatdeoguna rape mountain after poor Johnny, I need to alleviate people. In 2005, the project economics, and Johnny Mountain rape indifference Khatami social and cultural agenda of power in the hands of Ahmadinejad have been suspended. Now the main part of disaffected voters in 2009, millions of them in trust for Mousavi, complete proof of the revolution, war hero and former socialist prime minister and his economic and business investment.

Again, the small scene, students are involved in a large, robust, and especially women, are on both sides of the political divide. This is a new generation of the Internet - you know, Facebook, YouTube, twitter, and versatile. He wired the world. The presence of Rahnavard Zahra, other aspects of this campaign is unique Mousavi wife. Former university president and a prominent public intellectual, poet, painter and sculptor, a strong supporter of women's rights, Rahnavard Michelle Obama is part of the screen may have the foreign press. Iran, which, in response to the followers, "No," and retort, "Michelle Obama may have Mark Zahra Rahnavard are targets in the United States."

Long on rhetoric, short on memory

Valid for two years, the country of the opposition to protest the results of the elections by the people unhappy with the situation in Iran is being controlled, I will remain vague, as usual. In fact, as sources of information outside the control of Western companies do not have the media not understanding surprise, but more powerful and the public about the world and ignores the long history of surprises .

As for Iran, like most democratic countries in the Middle East. Each model has a Supreme Islamic autocratic ruler, its own decisions and beliefs of the people and the passion that was shown. Iran is not perfect, and a toilet, and his arrest and persecution of citizens abusing pasta. The current selection of Kabul international sources of funding fairer previously submitted an impressive win Ahmedinecad two most affirming oldu. Government reports indicate that this is what happened.

Perhaps as an office in the selection of the Palestinian Hamas (more democratic, then, of course), but certainly more democratic and more open elections in Egypt, including a fake. Iraq, in 2004-2005, the United States, but insists that only outmanoeuvred Ayetullah Ali al-Sistani, and a democratically elected government from there in terms of employment on demand management, is suitable for the majority Shiite.

Afghanistan, which is a duly elected democratic government, but seeks warlords, drugs of mankind, and many countries have no control over the U.S. occupation of the small rebel and other speculators. Pakistan - possibly, and "Middle East" - is again a nominal democracy, but the U.S. has served as a puppet in the region since the founding, and now the U.S. is suffering attacks devastated the people and in different regions of the small and too weak politically to say what you have. Other Middle Eastern countries that are not yet close to democracy, regardless of the support of many United States - Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar.

These are excuses, explains or condemned Iran Res. - Or, not enough information is incorrect or invalid - for his proposal to say ... and the historical context in which role is to be there.

Also, select the event you choose to interpret the combination of memory, and take a look at the history of their country. During half of the work, or 'exceptions', in view of the non-western Iran, from a historical perspective of the United States and Iran, and the interaction between the two countries through the floor.

President Obama has admitted at least, the intervention of Iran and democracy in the United States, and in coordination with Britain in the early 1950s, agents of the overthrow of the democratically elected Mossadeq government operates. Therefore, if possible as well as a constant source of the anger of Iran and the United States only, and all across the country for a long period of being involved in a relationship can not be overcome, including the long YUZAABATAIRAN.

1979 - of the utmost importance.

Soviet war in Afghanistan, the situation in 1979, and instigated the war, in part, the CIA and Pakistani intelligence in Pakistan, with the support of the original source of the main mujahideen fighter today. The result - you - or the Soviet Union was well known to the end of the year, the United States, and the various warlords, and left Pakistan with the support of the Taliban five years of decline. The west of Afghanistan on the border with Iran, in pursuit of the Taliban army and the support of the United States.

Also, in 1979, President Carter and his entourage a lot of old Wysor the current peace envoy role, and certified, and the Iranian revolution to overthrow the Shah's regime, to address the long-term, which was not the result of the Samurai. Shah received support in the United States (and its support for Israel), to suppress the opposition, and the secret police is more dangerous - SAVAK - operating in the region. Have arisen in the context of its nuclear weapons program. And economic and persons, and to continue to increase the gap between the United States and domestic support for the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the continued support of the United States, the revolution of the natural enemy, the enemy abroad, be alert and continue.

Best three real-time search services

Twazzup: As I've said before, Twazzup is a very useful and flexible Twitter search tool that provides almost all of what Twitter Search does itself, plus a few columns of algorithmically generated results such as most influential tweeters on a topic, related photos, and a great list of keywords based on your search results that you can use to refine your query.

Collecta (story) is a new real-time search service that scans Twitter and many other sources, including mainstream media sites (CNN, etc.) and blogs. Its best features are its super-clean and simple interface, and the fact that it lets you run multiple searches at once, so it's great for monitoring a bunch of topics during the day.

Scoopler is another deceptively simple real-time search product that, like Twazzup, combines raw chronological results with a column of results ranked by popularity. This service doesn't have access to the full Twitter "fire hose" of data, but it does use additional methods to try to pick up more content than the Twitter Search API provides--especially items that contain links. Scoopler also lets you keep three search queries pegged to your page for quick access (although it doesn't run them in the background like Collecta does).


The three best, and all the rest

Whatever happens in the real world to follow, should a real-time search. Google (yet) is not. It is not Yahoo Bing. But the number - a large and growing number - of new services, scan search twitter and other places, almost in real time, and the latest updates in real time, you will have social. I though for more than a matter of beating a journalist to search for the best tool for finding might be interested in twitter search other sources (and) to see a dozen

To set the scene, hitting the search engine look. Not bad. A very clear way that is easy to use and the results presented, a good job balancing the needs of users, their inability to actually stream to read the tweets with the results in real time to show flies by: This update for new tweets in a counter top to match your search, but you see the information on the connection is.

Twitter very advanced search queries, and you through RSS search results can support.

Twitter to search the disadvantage is that, at least for now is crazy. The results are arranged chronologically only. The more you read, most, most, or to connect to the tweeter to provide a reliable algorithm. The prattle and questions.

Three services, there is so much better than the twitter search, and some other special cases, people seek deserve.

Showtime for Yahoo's Bartz


Bartz to address this Thursday, for a period of six months only one of the most troubled history of the community in the following year after taking a leading role in Yahoo is not likely. Bartz in a short time at Yahoo, and people with a mandate to reduce the cost of engineering team to develop a fear of God was shaken, and printing services, and an interview with the commercial attractiveness of what is required if the Lusail Paul, George Carlin was raised girl techie mind what could be the result.

But the Santa Clara Marriott in the minds of contributors to an important fact can be found as follows: from 2008 to 2009 compared to the cycle, and the stability of Yahoo shows that very little appears to be relatively calm in spite of the fact.

Income, income, and all are important tumultuous year that the price of the stock, even if the economy and the benefits of Yahoo is still very weak excuse, understood, and, laying off workers, in spite of the round.

During the first quarter of the fiscal year, Yahoo b 1.16 billion dollars from the proceeds of commissions only, with the exception of $ 101 million in operating income. On the contrary, it, AOL Google at $ 4.07 billion on revenue excluding commissions of $ 867 million in operating income and revenue of $ 150 million in operating income of $ 1.88 billion achieved.

How things? Non-purple to hear for use in Bartz is a different approach to explain the Yahoo is preparing for thought. For example, is that all of the search, and Yahoo, and above all, to put an end to the curse of the proposed.

Instead, the social networks of companies that Yahoo's purchase of the People's property, and an attempt to the President of the Supreme Court for advertisers to step up to speak. The cost of my rock ax Bartz financial analyst now is love, and look some of the shareholders under the control of the process of moving away from Yahoo's search to be a common understanding.

"When the work is only good for a long time is that" this strategy, but it was seen. Click on the shareholder Bartz, Microsoft, Yahoo, and securities of the company for U.S. $ 33 per share Microsoft offer much lower than last year, faltered in the light of any kind of compromise with the possibility of possibility. At a meeting on Thursday, 15.45.Bartz decent amount of work with Microsoft since it is valid, while Yahoo's own activity, insist on the recognition that the talks have been stalled title. Microsoft, respectively, for now, given the economic climate, but it does not seem likely to discuss the partnership to consider the question.

However, in the first ten in the morning to achieve cost savings in partnership with many believed to be the least thought of Bartz felt two weeks ago. Yahoo, more than anything that can provide up to 1.3 billion dollars, and Microsoft's search ads to the approval of the thinking, but Bartz about 500 million dollars in June that the number of dead.

If this research work on the closure of Yahoo Bartz, and how it can jump from Yahoo to explain the earnings - the need to develop a strategy for the start of production. Bartz has already accepted one in the search for the selection of Yahoo sites - Yahoo, and 98 percent of all searches on Yahoo for people not already on some people. People's minds as a search option that is fading, but also a lot of people, but with Google, Yahoo and Microsoft with the launch of Ping recording success at an early date, and is Yahoo.

However, Yahoo in the United States is the second largest Internet property page on the site later this year to attract a greater number of people that could help in the coming period and even Rinnovamento on the ads that generate more research and more ads. Bartz, smaller and more attractive as well as the Declaration on the market and is expected to return to this year and next year before the end of the traffic for the purchase of Yahoo is expected to think.

Real architects deconstruct video games

Video games at the level of your posts and the dismantling of architects, and I think that would be boring to read the structure of the magazine. However, I think that it would be wrong. Even if the Geek in the art, but most blogs are (I), architects' sweet story of the daily level of the game in this short video gives a little insight.

For example, one of the greatest games of all time, and that's great Tetris Note:

You can study all of us and the amendments Tetris-dimensional rotation symmetry. As the basis for the construction of seven of the building elements and features a single, unified, and to take a radical approach to reduce waste. There is also aesthetically appealing Tetris: BOIDOINSUPIRESHONSUROBENIA strong language and architecture studio, OFIS, and proved that the combination of a group of architects.

In fact, can teach us how to reduce waste! Snap together in the re-use and simple (we hope) to the benefit of a much larger company than I expected. It would be wise! Halo and Halo 2 on the list of other games, such as GURANDOSEFUTOOTO and others. We, Marioland "of DOBAIOPERAHAUSU ZAHAHADIDO 'blobitecture' learned about learning." Choose!

I had a lot of work to develop a video game, and some friends, and at the level of the developing world, and the background. Studied architecture, all of them. I'm happy that you are studying architecture

Power outlet wall solves your electrical needs

Even if it did not link all the outlets are still cold. After more than one type of technology and the arts.

Photographer David Friedman's ironic that the mass message posted on the site and to introduce this concept, and here is the point of view of ideas, tools and design in many cases. Unfortunately, so far, it appears that the wall is simple and understandable, and David, and if you're reading, and I am a high degree of the Internet and give you 5.
