For No-Boarders in British Columbia, It’s No Bindings, No Problem
2008-02-15 07:23:00 By JESSE HUFFMANFeb 15, NY TimesTHREE miles into the Kootenay Range backcountry by snowmobile, I stood alongside 50 other riders, gathered at the bottom of a wide and untracked sub-alpine run. The mid-January snowpack was so deep in the Interior Mountains of British Columbia that the effects of logging were buried beneath 180 inches of powder — the downed trees, stumps and rocks all transformed by the bounty of snow into a snowboarder’s paradise.The conditions were extraordinary, and the crowd included Travis Rice, a professional snowboarder and multiple gold medalist in the X Games. But on this overcast Saturday, the draw was the third annual Greg Todds Memorial No-Board Race, and the challenge was simply to get down the hill — without bindings.No-boarding is a young sport that replaces traditional snowboard bindings with a knobbed polymer traction pad and a heavy-duty bungee rope, which transform a snowboard into a no-board.Read more this news quotephoto: A no-boarder execut...

U.S. officials say broken satellite will be shot down
2008-02-15 04:12:00 Feb 15, International Herald TribuneWASHINGTON: The military will attempt to shoot down a crippled spy satellite some time in the next two weeks, senior officials said on Thursday, laying out a high-tech plan to intercept the large spacecraft over the Pacific Ocean just before it tumbles uncontrollably back to earth with toxic fuel aboard.Only twice in history has any nation shot an actual satellite down: China did it last year, and the United States more than 20 years ago.President George W. Bush ordered the action to prevent any possible contamination from that hazardous rocket fuel on board, and not out of any concern that parts of the spacecraft might survive and its secrets be revealed, officials said. The challenging mission to demolish it instead on the fringes of space will rely on an unforeseen use of ship-based weapons developed to defend against ballistic missile attacks. That makes it a real-world test both of the nation's antiballistic missile systems and its antisatel... More About: Satellite , Shot , Broken

Murdoch's News Corp negotiating alliance with Yahoo
2008-02-14 02:59:00 By Andrew Clark in New YorkFeb 13, GuardianRupert Murdoch's News Corporation is negotiating to rescue the embattled internet company Yahoo through an alliance that could set up a heavyweight business showdown between the Australian-born media mogul and Microsoft's Bill Gates.News Corp has begun tentative talks about merging its online division, which includes the social networking site MySpace, with Yahoo to create a powerful combined presence on the internet.The tie-up would provide a handy escape route for Yahoo, the world's most popular web portal, which is searching for a way to avoid succumbing to a $44bn (£22.4bn) hostile takeover bid from Microsoft.But it would infuriate Microsoft, which is anxious to get its hands on Yahoo to bolster its flagging internet offering and to create a viable rival to the web search leader Google.Yahoo's management is likely to be drawn towards a deal with News Corp because it would allow the internet firm to remain largely independent.

Danish Muhammad cartoon reprinted
2008-02-14 02:48:00 Feb 13, AljazeeraDanish newspapers have reprinted one of the 12 drawings of the Prophet Muhammad that caused global Muslim outrage two years ago, to protest against an alleged plot to murder one of the cartoonists.Muslims in Denmark said that the reprinting of the image of Muhammad wearing a turban shaped like a bomb, with a lit fuse, would only stoke anger. A Danish citizen of Moroccan descent and two Tunisians were arrested on Tuesday as suspects in a plan to kill 73-year-old Kurt Westergaard, a cartoonist at Jyllands-Posten, the Danish newspaper that originally published the drawings in September 2005.OffensiveFive major daily newspapers, 10 smaller papers and a Swedish daily reprinted Westergaard's cartoon, the one that had caused the greatest controversy before.Most Muslims consider any depiction of the prophet as offensive.Imam Mostafa Chendid, a leading Danish Muslim, said: "We believe this is very foolish and does not help building the bridges we need."Chendid, an imam at t...

Is Obama's momentum unstoppable?
2008-02-14 02:13:00 Has Barack Obama won the Democratic presidential nomination?By John ZogbyPollster and independent political analystFeb 13, BBC NewsIt is certainly tempting to make this conclusion based on his amazing string of victories on Saturday and Tuesday evening.But the short answer to the question has to be no.Senator Obama has now more states than his rival, Senator Hillary Clinton, including the last six (plus the Virgin Islands and the national capital, Washington DC) and he now leads among delegates pledged to vote for him at the Democratic National Convention.In addition to his momentum of victories, he has made significant inroads into constituencies that were the core of his opponent's support.Thus, in Virginia and Maryland, exit polls revealed that he tied with Senator Clinton among white voters, and actually defeated her among women, lower-income voters, rural voters, those over 65 years of age, Catholics, and Hispanics.Read more this news quotephoto: Barack Obama is popular with m...

"I was eager to start telling some of them through animation and, at the same time, push the art of animation forward."The six-film "Star Wars" series is one of Hollywood's most lucrative franchises.

Yahoo to Reject Microsoft Offer, May Find Few Options
2008-02-11 03:17:00 By Ari Levy and Zachary R. MiderFeb 10, BloombergYahoo ! Inc., the Internet company that has failed to crack Google Inc.'s dominance of Web search, plans to reject a $44.6 billion takeover bid from Microsoft Corp., a person familiar with the situation said.The board spent a week reviewing the $31-per-share unsolicited offer before deciding it was too low, and directors are likely to reject it tomorrow, said the person, who declined to be identified because the discussions aren't public. Yahoo wants at least $40, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday.The decision steps up pressure on co-founder Jerry Yang to present investors with a strategy to revive a stock that lost half its value in the two years before the offer. He may look to outsource its search efforts to Google or find another buyer, though analysts said it is unlikely that any other options will emerge and Microsoft may make a higher offer to win.``A lot of this is gamesmanship on the part of Yahoo,'' said Scott Ke...

Pride and panic in messages between traders
2008-02-11 02:55:00 By Nicola Clark and Katrin BennholdFeb 10, International Herald TribunePARIS: After sifting through nearly 2,000 pages of instant message traffic, the police investigating the trading scandal at Société Générale were moving toward a theory Sunday in which Jérôme Kerviel, whom the bank blames for nearly €5 billion of losses, may not have acted alone, as he and the bank have claimed.Instead, they believe he may have been trying to protect a friend who, it appears, helped him cover his tracks - until one final, fake e-mail message, purportedly from Deutsche Bank, brought the whole house of cards crashing down on Kerviel last month.The transcript of instant messages between the two men on an internal Reuters system from October 2007 to January suggests that the friend, Moussa Bakir, had an intimate knowledge of Kerviel's surreptitious trading and that Kerviel was well aware of the gravity of his actions.Two people with knowledge of the investigation said that they had also foun...

Is It Too Late for Yahoo?
2008-02-08 08:44:00 By MIGUEL HELFT and BRAD STONEFeb 8, NY Times SAN FRANCISCO — One of the first questions that Jerry Yang and his top lieutenants pondered after he became chief executive of Yahoo last summer was whether the company could remain independent. They quickly answered yes.But Mr. Yang, who founded Yahoo along with David Filo in 1995, had a harder time coming up with convincing answers for many of the more complex questions facing the company. How exactly would an independent Yahoo sharpen its focus, shed marginal projects and become a stronger competitor to Google, the runaway leader in online search and advertising?Mr. Yang, a cerebral, highly analytic executive who, by all accounts, cares deeply about the company he helped build and its workers, appears to have run out of time to answer those questions. A $44.6 billion bid from Microsoft is once again forcing Mr. Yang and his board to consider the viability of Yahoo as an independent company.Read more this news quotephoto: Yahoo’s ...

Tobacco -tax revenue is more than 500 times higher than spending on tobacco control, it said.About 5.4 million people in the world annually die prematurely from tobacco-related causes such as cancer, according to the WHO.

Microsoft Adversary Rises Instinctively at Yahoo Bid

Grove, then the chief executive of Intel, aptly described the hypercompetitive mentality of Silicon Valley in his book title “Only the Paranoid Survive.”Now, the anxious efforts by Google, led by its chief executive, Eric E. Schmidt, to try to scuttle Microsoft ’s $44.6 billion bid for Yahoo may well seem like a bout of Valley paranoia. After all, many industry analysts view the acquisition plan, announced Friday, as a desperation move by Microsoft to buy a bigger stake in the online advertising and Internet search markets, even as it and Yahoo fade further behind Google.The fast, forceful response from Google is a product of Mr. Schmidt’s history and personality.
