Shoko Asahara, the former leader of the religious cult that released deadly sarin gas into the Tokyo subway in 1995, was found guilty today of directing the attack and other crimes after an eight-year trial. He was sentenced to death.
Yo siempre pense que Asahara se parecia a la evil version de un compañero de prepa. Dan Miyamoto, where are you??

De las unicas excepciones son los videos musicales de algunos artistas. Entre estos esta Utada Hikaru. Asi que cuando su esposo y director de sus videos dirije una pelicula...

Polaroid le dice a sus clientes, que no le hagan caso a Andre "Ice Cold" 3000. Don't shake it like a polaroid picture:
OutKast fans like to "shake it like a Polaroid picture," but the instant camera maker is warning consumers that taking the advice of the hip-hop stars could ruin your snapshots.
OutKast's number one hit "Hey Ya" includes the "shake it" line as a reference to the motion that amateur photographers use to help along the self-developing film.
But in the "answers" section on the Polaroid Web site, the company says that shaking photos, which once helped them to dry, is not necessary since the modern version of Polaroid film dries behind a clear plastic window.
The image "never touches air, so shaking or waving has no effect," the company said on its site. "In fact, shaking or waving can actually damage the image. Rapid movement during development can cause portions of the film to separate prematurely, or can cause 'blobs' in the picture."

La cronica de los sucesos y seguimiento del caso de Gerardo Sifuentes y Epigmenio Leon viene cortesia de Monorama cuenta esta verdadera historia de horror.
Aqui empezo todo:
Lo que sigue es una síntesis de la información que hasta ahora Alberto Chimal y yo hemos estado pegando sólo en el foro de ciencia ficción mexicana de Yahoo. La comparto aquí por su importancia:
Como ahora deben saber casi todos todos, nuestro amigo y colega Gerardo Sifuentes ha sido injusta y arbitrariamente encarcelado, junto con Epigmenio León —coordinador editorial del programa Tierra Adentro—, acusados de robo de autopartes.
Cualquiera que conozca superficialmente al "Chícharo" (como le llamamos los cuates) entenderá que se trata de una acusación absurda, nuestro camarada es ingeniero industrial titulado, con tres premios literarios nacionales y uno internacional, además de dos libros publicados y ser becario del FONCA en la categoría de jóvenes creadores.
La situación es muy difícil, pues como todos sabemos, en el sistema judicial mexicano el acusado es culpable hasta que se demuestra lo contrario.
Alberto Chimal y un servidor visitamos el reclusorio norte el sábado, intentando ponernos en contacto con Gerardo, cuando menos llevarle algo de comer (la comida allá adentro es inmunda) pero nos topamos de frente con un muro, real y metafórico, infranqueable.
Pepe Casanova, roomate del Chícharo, nos dijo que hay una audiencia este miércoles y que se dictará sentencia el viernes. El propio Pepe testificará en favor de Gerardo.
Queremos pensar que esta pesadilla terminará pronto, sin embargo, mientras ello sucede, el desgaste emocional y económico de la familia y los amigos ha sido muy fuerte.
Por lo pronto, van los datos puntuales y los hechos comprobados hasta ahora sobre el caso:
1. El pasado jueves 12, alrededor de las 3:00 de la mañana, ambos fueron detenidos en la esquina de Ures y Tehuantepec en la colonia Roma de la ciudad de México (la esquina de la casa de Gerardo).
2. Fueron detenidos por los agentes José Manuel Rentería Gallego y Raúl Flores Lunares, y se les imputa el robo de los espejos de un automóvil Cirrus gris, placas LWA-4003. El perito ha determinado que no iban en estado de ebriedad.
4. El mismo jueves, en la oficina del Ministerio Público de la calle de Álvaro Obregón, se les abrió la averiguación previa CUH-7/240/2004-2.
5. La noche del viernes, Gerardo y Epigmenio fueron trasladados al Reclusorio Norte de la ciudad de México. Los dos se encuentran detenidos allí en el área de ingreso.
6. Este miércoles 18 habrá una audiencia con el juez, en la que se presentarán pruebas en favor y en contra de los acusados.
7. Entendemos que el viernes 20 se debe dictar sentencia. En caso de ser absolutoria o no haber pruebas suficientes, Gerardo y Epigmenio saldrán libres.
Es importante esperar la resolución del juez antes de llevar el asunto a los medios; según la recomendación del propio abogado, el hacer demasiado ruido sobre el asunto precisamente ahora puede hacer más daño que bien a la causa de nuestros amigos.
Chimal y yo hemos pensado en organizar una colecta para apoyar a los Sifuentes, una familia encantadora, siempre dispuestos a recibir en Puebla a los amigos de Gerardo como amigos de la casa.
Ade Sifuentes, mamá de Gerardo, me dio el número de tarjeta Invermático (a nombre del Chícharo) en la que quienes quieran cooperar pueden depositar dinero.
Desgraciadamente ella no tenía el número de cuenta. A sugerencia de H. Pascal, no subo aquí el número para evitar que alguien haga mal uso de ese dato (si alguien sabe de cierto que el puro número de la tarjeta y el nombre del usuario no son suficientes para utilizarla, hágamelo saber).
En cuanto esté el número, sugiero que se hagan depósitos míninos de 200 varos y agradezco a todos los que han preguntado su interés en ayudar a nuestro amigo.
Por el momento es todo, pero pondremos cualquier nueva información aquí en cuanto la tengamos.
Atte.

El Independiente reporta:
El promotor cultural Epigmenio León, actualmente jefe de difusión del Programa Cultural Tierra Adentro del Conaculta, y el escritor Gerardo Sifuentes, becario del Fonca, quedaron formalmente presos desde el viernes pasado por robo agravado, según acto de formal prisión dictado por la juez Julia Ortiz Leandro del juzgado 42 del Reclusorio Norte.
Acusados por los policías Raúl Flores y José Manuel Rentería, adscritos a la delegación Cuauhtémoc, del robo de dos espejos de automóvil, crimen por el que según los oficiales “fueron detenidos en flagrancia” la madrugada del 12 de febrero pasado en la calle de Tehuantepec, entre Acayucan y Ures, en la colonia Roma. Los escritores se esforzaron por probar su inocencia pero a decir de sus familiares “nada le ha importado a la juez que forma parte del teatro del Programa de Tolerancia Cero y que le da entre dos mil y cuatro mil pesos a los policías que remitan a delincuentes en flagrancia”.
Según consta en la averiguación previa CUH-7T2/240/04-02, levantada en el Ministerio Público no. 3 de la Delegación Cuauhtémoc, León y Sifuentes, acusados de robo, el viernes 13 de febrero fueron trasladados al Reclusorio Norte, aproximadamente a las 22:00 hrs. El viernes 20 de febrero, la juez dictó auto de formal prisión por robo agravado “sin tomar en cuenta las declaraciones de testigos presenciales de la detención y vecinos que confirman que ellos iban caminando cuando la policía los interceptó y los subió a la patrulla”, relató el hermano de León.
“Si bien habían ingerido alcohol, ellos sólo iban caminando hacia la tienda y llegaron los policías y los subieron. Hay tres testigos, uno de ellos vive en la casa de Sifuentes y los otros son dos vecinos que vieron que la patrulla los subió sin nada en las manos”, dijo el escritor Carlos Oliva, premio Nacional de Ensayo José Revueltas 2003, quien ha estado al pendiente de lo que llama “un juicio amañado” y ya se encarga de redactar una carta dirigida a la presidenta del Conaculta Sari Bermúdez “para que dé seguimiento al proceso porque están inculpados de manera injusta dos miembros de la comunidad de escritores, uno de ellos trabajador del organismo que preside”.
Bef agrega:
Quiero agradecer a toda la gente que ha escrito para apoyar a Gerardo y Epigmenio, pidiendo que se incluya su nombre en la carta. También les ruego me disculpen por no poder contestar individualmente a todos. Les recuerdo que la cuenta donde pueden depositar su ayuda económica es la de ahorro Bancomer 1250578401 a nombre de Adriana Quijada Martín. No quiero asustarlos, pero creo que se van a necesitar varias decenas de miles de pesos.

El filme Capturing the Friedmans es parte del Festival de Cine Contemporaneo de la Ciudad de Mexico.
"Capturing the Friedmans," the Oscar-nominated documentary that raises questions about the guilt of a father and son convicted of child molestation, is being criticized by six of their former victims, who say the film omitted or distorted important information about their cases.
The six are suggesting that the director, Andrew Jarecki, created more ambiguity than actually existed about the case both to heighten the dramatic impact of the film and to elicit sympathy for the Friedmans. The film tells the story of the disintegration of a seemingly average Long Island family after the father, Arnold Friedman, and son, Jesse, were accused of molesting children in computer classes they held in the basement of their Great Neck home in the 1980's.
Advertisement
The film, an Academy Award nominee for best documentary, has been critically praised and brought intense debate at screenings, in editorials and on talk shows about the Friedmans' guilt and whether the case showed failures of the justice system.
Both Arnold and Jesse Friedman pleaded guilty to dozens of counts of child molestation in 1988. Arnold Friedman committed suicide in prison. Jesse Friedman, 34, who served 13 years in prison before being released, recently submitted a motion in Nassau County Court to vacate his conviction, citing disclosures in the film about police evidence that could have helped his case. The court motion has angered former victims and their families who had not previously attacked the film, which was released last May.
Yo realmente pense que era un documental de otra cosa, y por alguna razon que tenia que ver con Krippendorf's Tribe, pelicula de Richard Dreyfuss en la cual el hace el papel de un director de documentales antropologicos de tribus desconocidas. Solo que para salvar sus becas, inventa una tribu, que consiste de su familia pintada como Nuevos Guineos.

El album gris, es una mezcla del album blanco de los Beattles y del album negro de Jay Z mezclados por Danger Mouse.
Hoy es Martes Gris:
Tuesday, February 24 will be a day of coordinated civil disobedience: websites will post Danger Mouse's Grey Album on their site for 24 hours in protest of EMI's attempts to censor this work.
DJ Danger Mouse created a remix of Jay-Z's the Black Album and the Beatles White Album, and called it the Grey Album. Jay-Z's record label, Roc-A-Fella, released an a capella version of his Black Album specifically to encourage remixes like this one. But despite praise from music fans and major media outlets like Rolling Stone ("an ingenious hip-hop record that sounds oddly ahead of its time") and the Boston Globe (which called it the "most creatively captivating" album of the year), EMI has sent cease and desist letters demanding that stores destroy their copies of the album and websites remove them from their site. EMI claims copyright control of the Beatles 1968 White Album.

Como esta eso de que los gays no se pueden casar, pero si los vivos y los muertos???
PARIS, Feb. 18 — Christelle Demichel, 34, married a dead man last week.
She carried a bouquet of yellow roses and gleefully ducked rice after the ceremony in the Riviera city of Nice. About 40 people later attended her reception at a local restaurant where the Champagne bottles bore custom labels with the newlyweds' names. The only thing missing, besides a wedding cake, was the groom.
"I had what you can call a perfect wedding," Ms. Demichel said the next day, chain-smoking beside her new mother-in-law in a Paris café.
Yes, it is possible to marry the dearly departed in France, thanks to a law that turns the vow "till death do us part" on its head.
The law dates to December 1959, when the Malpasset Dam in southern France burst, inundating the town of Fréjus and claiming hundreds of lives. When de Gaulle visited the town a week later, a young woman named Irène Jodard pleaded with him to allow her to follow through on her marriage plans even though her fiancé had drowned.
"I promise, Mademoiselle, to think of you," de Gaulle was reported to have replied.
Later that month, Parliament drafted a law to permit Ms. Jodard to marry her deceased fiancé, André Capra. Hundreds of would-be widows and widowers have applied for post-mortem matrimony since then.
Anyone wishing to marry a dead person must send a request to the president, who then forwards it to the justice minister, who sends it to the prosecutor in whose jurisdiction the surviving person lives.
If the prosecutor determines that the couple planned to marry before the death and if the parents of the deceased approve, the prosecutor sends a recommendation back up the line. The president, if so moved, eventually signs a decree allowing the marriage.
In Ms. Demichel's case, the approval came on Dec. 22, more than year after a drunken driver struck and killed her fiancé, Eric Demichel, while he was riding his motorcycle home from work. She decided to wait until Feb. 10 to celebrate the wedding on what would have been his 30th birthday.
In a real-life rendition of "The Bride Wore Black," the title of a 1967 François Truffaut film, Ms. Demichel showed up at the ornate wedding room in Nice's town hall wearing a black pantsuit. An empty orange armchair represented the groom, and in place of his vows the mayor read the presidential decree.
There was no exchange of rings, although the mayor politely asked Ms. Demichel if she wanted to do something of the sort.
"It remained in the spirit of a wedding," Ms. Demichel said. "It wasn't `funeral No. 2.' "
The marriage is retroactive to the eve of the groom's demise, allowing Ms. Demichel to carry her husband's name and identify herself as a widow on France's plentiful bureaucratic forms.
She said the marriage was otherwise of purely sentimental value. In fact, to avoid abuses, the 1959 law bars such spouses from any inheritance as a result of their weddings. Posthumous nuptials can play a practical role if the woman left behind is pregnant, though, because children born after their father's death are considered heirs.
But the authorities are vigilant in preventing the law's exploitation. In one case a woman impregnated herself with her late boyfriend's sperm, only to have her request for marriage denied.
Ms. Demichel's lawyer said about 20 were approved each year. Ms. Demichel said that while most of the posthumous weddings were kept quiet, she had decided to go public with hers in the hope of helping other people who might not know that marrying their lost love one was an option.
Her mother-in-law, Jocelyne Demichel, said she had consented to the marriage because Ms. Demichel was the only woman with whom her son had ever wanted to start a family. "It's normal," she said, "that she carry his name."
Now Ms. Demichel is taking a few days off from her job as a police officer, though it is not exactly her honeymoon. She came to Paris to spend time with her mother-in-law, who was herself widowed several months ago. Then she will go back to live in the apartment in Nice where she keeps her husband's ashes in an urn in the bedroom.
"I have transcended death," Ms. Demichel said enthusiastically.

Un post algo tarde a proposito. Ken y Barbie. Kaput! no more! adios!
la historia:
Ken and Barbie to split
Toy maker Mattel has announced Ken and Barbie, the Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward of the doll world, have split after four decades of ageless romance.
Amid rumours of another man in Barbie's life, Mattel's vice-president of marketing, Russell Arons, says Ken and Barbie feel it is "time to spend some quality time apart".
"In the [autumn], you may see another guy show up," Mr Arons said, while adding that the once-perfect couple remained "good friends".
The announcement provided a quirky twist to the old adage of any publicity being good publicity, at a time when Barbie's dominant position in the doll market is looking vulnerable.
While worldwide gross sales for Mattel brands reflected 2 per cent growth in the fourth quarter, Barbie brand sales slid 5 per cent, and 25 per cent domestically.
Since vamping up the store shelves in 1959 with her buxom chest, tiny waist and slender hips, more than one billion Barbie dolls have been sold in 150 countries, as well as a plethora of associated merchandise including Barbie's famous pink cars and campervan.
Ken arrived on the scene in 1961.

un poco mas de informacion en el asunto:
"Like other celebrity couples, their Hollywood romance has come to an end," said Arons, who quickly added that the duo "will remain friends."
Arons denied that there was any truth to rumours that the breakup was linked to the Cali (as in California) Girl Barbie, arriving in stores now. To better reflect her single status, Cali Barbie will wear board shorts and a bikini top, metal hoop earrings, and have a deeper tan.
This new style has already attracted a new admirer, Blaine the Australian boogie boarder.
y este articulo tambien tiene la teoria de que Ken le tenia miedo al compromiso y Barbie ya se queria casar, como el motivo principal de la separacion.

US scientists compared the packing densities of M&Ms with those of ball bearings in different containers.
Computer simulations confirmed the findings, which the team report in the current issue of the journal Science.
Salvatore Torquato of Princeton University in New Jersey, US, and colleagues used a 9cm by 9cm square box and three round flasks of different sizes to investigate the conundrum.
The researchers filled these containers with M&M sweets and determined the packing fractions for them. They measured these for both the "regular" and "mini" varieties of the chocolates.
Computer simulation
Then they compared these values with those obtained when the same containers were filled with 3.1mm ball bearings.
The results showed that M&Ms packed at higher densities than ball bearings in all containers tested.
To better understand the principle, the researchers developed a computer simulation that allowed them to generate any shape and test its packing density.
When they stretched the M&M shape so it looked elliptical from the top as well as from the side, like an almond, it achieved a density approaching the highest possible packing fraction of 0.74

All the bodies belonged to people who authorised the use of their bodies after their deaths for the educational benefit of medical professionals and non-professionals alike.
The specimens are preserved by plastination - an impregnational technique carried out in a vacuum where the body tissue is saturated with special plastics.

Cotard's syndrome
Dr. Jules Cotard (1840-1889) was a Parisian neurologist who first described the delire des negations. Cotard's syndrome or Cotard's delusion comprises any one of a series of delusions ranging from the fixed and unshakable belief that one has lost organs, blood, or body parts to believing that one has lost one's soul or is dead. In its most profound form, the delusion takes the form of a professed belief that one does not exist.
Encountered primarily in psychoses such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, Cotard's syndrome has also been described in organic lesions of the nondominant temporoparietal cortex as well as in migraine. Cotard's delusion is the only self-certifiable syndrome of delusional psychosis.

A search for "iPod" on eBay yields a couple thousand listings for the digital music player and accessories, but beware: Hundreds of the listings are inducements to join pyramid-style scams.
Ebay is swamped with new "matrix" schemes, which appear to be legitimate buyers clubs but are in fact variations on classic pyramid scams, which are outlawed around the world.

Dejenme ver si entiendo... Alguien esta haciendo un reproductor de mp3, que se intercambia con el clip de balas de una AK-47??
A British-based company is selling MP3 players which can be attached to an assault rifle.
The "AK-MP3" player is built into the ammunition clip of a Kalashnikov. It can be swapped with the real magazine carrying bullets and inserted into the weapon.
The device is being advertised on the internet by a Buckinghamshire-based company set up by a group of Russian businessmen.
It comes with enough storage space to hold 9,000 songs.
Former Russian rock star Andrey Koltakov, a partner in the dotcom company offering the AK-MP3 for sale, said: "This is our bit for world peace - hopefully, from now on many militants and terrorists will use their AK-47s to listen to music and audio books."
The accessory costs just over £200 or around £400.
According to those marketing it the stainless steel body makes it "uniquely suitable for outdoors".
AK-47s are the choice of killers across the globe from Marxist guerillas in Colombia to Saddam Hussein loyalists in Iraq. They were also used by IRA snipers.
They are capable of firing 600 rounds a minute.
hmmm. y supongo que seran reproductores mp3 favoritos de los guerilleros, digo con eso de que esta bien hecha...
para cuando solo estas matando el tiempo...
ese deberia de ser su slogan.

Nakano Broadway: Nakano
The ground floor of Nakano Broadway looks just like a typical neighborhood shopping arcade - handbags, sneakers, pet supplies and so on. But just up the escalator is a warren of tiny, hyper-specialized shops that's more reminiscent of deep shopping expeditions in Hong Kong and Bangkok. Broadway is the complete opposite of those slick new Tokyo malls filled with cookie-cutter global-brand-name stores, and it's a lot more fun to shop in.
Mandarake, the world's largest comic-book store, has its headquarters here. They currently run 16 different specialty shops on three floors, catering to manga subgenres and related interests like trading cards, anime videos and soundtracks. Their toy collectibles shop is one of their most popular, and it's spawned a host of competitors. We noticed that each of the many shops in this field seems to have carved out its own niche, whether it's Gundam action figures or Beatrix Potter miniatures.
Also spinning off from the world of manga and anime are shops selling art books, animation cels and movie posters. And if you like to dress up as your favorite comic-book character but you aren't handy with a sewing machine, the "cosplay" ("costume play") shops can sell you a complete outfit or two.
Not everything here is related to comics - we passed by half a dozen watch shops, each presumably devoted to its own market segment. Fujiya, a local Nakano audio-visual shop has one store specializing in video needs - cameras, boom mikes, editing decks - and another with musician's equipment - professional mixing boards, synthesizer components and DJ mixers. Fujiya also runs several branches of Recomints, their tasty-sounding chain of used CD shops.
Hundreds of other small shops are spread over five floors, selling everything from fabrics (Toa, B1F) to Taiwanese and Hong Kong DVDs (Jasmine Tea, 3F). Ginga Bussan (3F) carries African masks and other exotic decorations and furnishings. If you get hungry you can try the unusual Chinese vegetarian fare at Kohrinbo (2F), or venture into one of the many other restaurants and coffee shops scattered randomly among the stores.

Al final del articulo vienen paginas dedicadas a cada una de las tiendas mas importantes...

Un estudio de la Universidad de Westminster, encuentra que si el dolor es administrado por una mujer, el sujeto tardara en reportarlo como doloroso.
He said: "This effect is likely to be a result of what participants subconsciously expect, based on socially acquired gender stereotypes - people feel that they are less likely to experience intense pain from a stimulus given by a woman rather than a man.
"This effect is less likely to be down to males trying to appear macho in front of a female - a conscious and deliberate act - as the result applied to both genders."
esto por supuesto ya lo sabian las dominatrix de todos lados...
