I'm writing today's review on the bad side of a rough New Year's Eve. However, I am not going to let the occasional irritated rumblings from my stomach deter me from my duties. I only wish today, of all days, I didn't have to write about . . . gulp . . . eggs. .
Viafara back for Saints
Jhon Viafara should return for Southampton as life after George Burley begins with an FA Cup fourth-round clash against League Two Bury. Caretaker bosses John Gorman and Jason Dodd have the Colombian midfielder available after a one-match suspension. Youssef Safri is on African Nations Cup duty with Morocco while Saints still have a lengthy injury list. Claus Lundekvam, Nathan Dyer (both ankle), Marek Saganowski (groin), Chris Makin (hip), Cedric Baseya and Adam Lallana (both knee) are all still out. On-loan Aston Villa defender Stephen O'Halloran will be in contention for his debut, having trained for a week with his new team-mates. Alexander Ostlund got 80 minutes under his belt against Plymouth last week after a 10-week absence with a hamstring injury and should continue at right-back.
Mix: Gameloft, Safari HD, iPhone, Poolga
During a recent speech, Gameloft founder Michel Guillemot featured an image of an iPhone running a Gameloft game in one of his slides. Pocket Gamer suggests that although the image may have been a mock-up, given Gameloft's past relationship with Apple on iPod games, it would not be surprising to see the company develop games for the iPhone. Safari HD, an unofficial hack for the Apple TV that allows users to browse the internet using the set-top box, has been released and updated for compatibility with Apple TV software 2.0. Safari HD uses the WebKit rendering engine, and supports web plugins such as Flash and any others supported by Safari. A panel at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain last week praised the iPhone for its ease of use and interface.
A former deputy leader of the SNP today sprang to the public defence ...
Jim Sillars said Dr Jim Dyer was wrong to report the Labour leader for possible prosecution and should apologise to her. But Dr Dyer, the Holyrood standards commissioner, said he had no choice but to report the result of his investigations to the procurator fiscal if he found a possible offence. .
Special Rielle-Time Coverage!
Barack Obama has often said he'd consider putting Repbulicans in his cabinet and even bandied about names like Sens. Dick Lugar and Chuck Hagel. Forget that this is a cliche appeal to hack Washington bipartisanism, that Sen. Hagel's reputation seems to have been built on the substitution of good looks and agonizing passion for coherent, articulated thought, that the press mainly loves him because he's always ready to go on television and stab his party in the back. Why would you promote Hagel at the very moment when his prediction that the Surge was "the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam" appears to have been humiliatingly wrong? Disastrously wrong, potentially, if it had been heeded. Disqualifyingly wrong, you'd think. Obama is saying, in effect, that his need for respectable approval trumps reality.
Campus in Liberty fills niche of community college
When she learned that National College was opening a campus in the Mahoning Valley, she decided to see what it had to offer and enrolled with the first class in September. Her plan is to get her program diploma, get a job in a medical office and then, down the road, go back to school to continue her education in a medical field. Wiesensee said she chose National because it is close to home, brand new and about the only college she found to offer a one-year program "to get you going in that field." Wiesensee may be typical of the target market National saw when it chose to open a campus at 3487 Belmont Avenue. .
