TV CELL PHONE!
>Qualcomm plans network to bring TV to cell phones | CNET News.com: "Wireless-chip maker Qualcomm said Monday that it plans to build a national high-speed network to deliver video and audio programming to mobile phones at a cost of $800 million over about five years.
Qualcomm hopes to boost demand for its chips and for high-speed mobile phones by transmitting content such as live news or sports clips and selling it through existing U.S. mobile service providers.
The network will be built by Qualcomm's MediaFlo USA subsidiary. Paul Jacobs, president of Qualcomm's wireless Internet group, said the new network would enhance existing services by letting operators deliver video services without using up capacity needed for mobile phone calls.
Operators 'understand it's a very low risk strategy to complement their network,' Jacobs said in a telephone interview. Qualcomm is talking to several operators, handset makers and media companies, he said. It plans to launch the service in 2006.
Sprint, which already provides an early stage video service to its customers, had no immediate comment on the Qualcomm service. Verizon Wireless spokesman Jeff Nelson said Verizon would look at the service.
U.S. mobile providers are spending billions of dollars upgrading their own networks for the delivery of advanced services such as mobile Internet and video to help offset falling phone call prices. Such services have seen some success in Asia but remain in their infancy in the United States.
Deutsche Bank analyst Brian Modoff said Qualcomm's investment was a 'drop in the ocean' for the company, which had about $2 billion cash at the end of July, but that it still poses some risks.
'This is a conduit to try to drive demand. Mobile data is the next big thing in wireless, but its success is still unproven"

Arafat suffers coma and leukemia
"Palestinian President Yasser Arafat went into a coma overnight and is lying unconscious and in critical condition in the intensive care unit at a French military hospital, aides say.
Doctors carrying out tests on the 75-year-old leader since he was airlifted to France last Friday still did not know what was wrong with him, despite ruling out leukaemia, they said.
Arafat's immune system appeared quite weak as his health, which had at first stabilised after he arrived at the hospital, suddenly deteriorated on Wednesday, they said.
'Arafat is in a coma and in a critical condition,' a senior Palestinian official told Reuters. He was transferred to the intensive care unit on Wednesday at around 5 p.m..
'He has no immunity whatsoever,' said another aide, adding he slipped into the coma around 2 a.m. on Thursday.
In the West Bank city of Ramallah, senior Palestinian officials denied he was in a coma. 'No coma,' Prime Minister Ahmed Qurie told reporters. 'His condition is not getting better, nor is it worsening.'
Arafat's slide into illness has raised fears of chaos among Palestinians locked in a 4-year-old uprising.
Arafat, loved by most Palestinians and reviled by many Israelis, has named no successor since emerging from exile under interim peace accords with Israel in the early 1990s.
The death of a leader Israel and Washington see as an obstacle to peace could also shuffle the cards in the Middle East conflict.
In Ramallah, the central committee of Arafat's Fatah faction in the Palestine Liberation Organisation met with the president's health topping the agenda. The PLO's executive committee was also called into session.

commercialappeal.com - Memphis, TN: Politics
Memphis voters soundly rejected a proposal for a citywide payroll tax Tuesday, defeating the measure by a 3-1 margin.
About 74 percent of voters said 'no' to the tax, which was on the ballot inside the Memphis city limits.
With all 234 precincts reporting, as well as early and absentee votes, 163,319 votes had been cast against the tax; 58,319 votes were cast in favor.
The referendum asked voters to allow the City Council to enact a payroll tax on 'certain vocations, occupations, callings and employment-related activities within the city.'
The tax would have been paid by people who work in the City of Memphis, including those who live outside the city.
Proponents of the tax, including chief council sponsor Janet Hooks, pushed it as an alternative to an inevitable city property tax hike this year, as well as a way to tax those who work in the city but don't pay city property taxes.
The proposal was criticized for being too vague and open-ended. No details on a rate or how it would be applied were proposed.
The tax generated strong opposition from local businesses in recent weeks.
The Memphis Regional Chamber organized a group called 'Coalition for a Better Memphis,' which waged a campaign over the airwaves against the tax. FedEx also urged its 24,000 Memphis-based employees to vote against it.
'I spent the day with Democrats, Republicans, black, white, rich, poor. Nobody wants the tax,' said Ken Hall, spokesman for the Memphis Regional Chamber.
'I think people are scared about where the money's going to go. ... Because there's no detail on how it's used, they have every right to be apprehensive.'
If it had been adopted, the tax likely would have faced legal challenges because of"

is olive oil good for you? the FDA thinks so
Modbee.com | The Modesto Bee: "FDA labels olive oil good news
Qualified health claim says using product may reduce risk of coronary heart disease
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Last Updated: November 2, 2004, 05:52:11 AM PST
WASHINGTON — Food containing olive oil can carry labels saying they may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, the government says, citing limited evidence from a dozen scientific studies about the benefits of monounsaturated fats.
As long as people don't increase the number of calories they consume daily, the Food and Drug Administration confirmed a reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease when people replace foods high in saturated fat with the monounsaturated fat in olive oil.
That means a change as simple as sautéing food in two tablespoons of olive oil instead of butter may be healthier for your heart.
"Since CHD is the No. 1 killer of both men and women in the United States, it is a public health priority to make sure that consumers have accurate and useful information on reducing their risk," Lester M. Crawford, acting FDA commissioner, said in a prepared statement.
"It's good news for consumers," said Bob Bauer, president of the North American Olive Oil Association, which sought the qualified health claim on Aug. 28, 2003. "Olive oil is a healthy product to help them fight heart disease."
Recent research has underscored the heart benefits from so-called Mediterranean diets high in unsaturated fats from vegetable oil, nuts and such fish as salmon and tuna. Mortality rates dropped by more than 50 percent among elderly Europeans who stuck to such diets and led healthy lifestyles, according to research published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in September.
The North American Olive Oil Association included 88 publications to back its claim for the heart-healthy benefits of olive oil. The group wanted to make the claim for monounsaturated fats contained in just one tablespoon of olive oil per day.
Olive oil and certain food containing olive oil can now indicate that "limited and not conclusive scientific evidence suggests that eating about two tablespoons (23 grams) of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease due to the monounsaturated fat in olive oil," the FDA concluded.
"I think FDA just took a more conservative view," Bauer said.
Manufacturers waited for the FDA's precise wording before revising labels. "I expect, over time, most every container of olive oil will have this," he said.
The health benefits of olive oil aren't news to Nick Sciabica of Nick Sciabica & Sons, a Modesto-based olive oil company.
"The last 15 years, there's been a lot of interest in the Mediterranean Diet and the French Paradox," Nick Sciabica said Monday. "This is just another feather in our cap — olive oil is good for you."
The public has become more aware as well, Jonathan Sciabica said, noting that the retail market for olive oil doubled and then tripled during the 1980s and 1990s.
The health information would appear on Sciabica labels if the company received confirmation from the FDA, Jonathan Sciabica said.
Already, American restaurants and consumers drive $450 million in olive oil sales per year. Supermarket sales in 2003 accounted for 132 million pounds of olive oil, up by nearly one-third over the past six years.
Bauer said he expects the label change to spur a larger uptick in sales.
According to the American Heart Association, coronary heart disease caused 502,189 deaths — or one in five deaths — in 2001, the most current statistic available. An additional 13.2million Americans that year survived the heart attacks, chest pains and other ailments caused by coronary heart disease.
Along with lowering choles-terol, cutting out cigarettes and exercising, the group says, Americans can boost heart health by eating foods low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium.
An American Heart Association spokeswoman declined comment on the FDA's action until it reviews the health claim.
The FDA discounted most of the submitted studies because the methodology made it difficult to tease out the effect of the monounsaturated fats in olive oil. Of a dozen studies that survived the cut, four were the most persuasive, including:
Thirty-three healthy young American men ate diets high in saturated fats from butter or cocoa butter, olive oil's monounsaturated fats or polyunsaturated fats from soybean oil. The soybean and olive oil groups significantly lowered total and bad LDL cholesterol.
And 22 healthy, middle-aged Spanish men with slightly elevated cholesterol counts were put on a four-week diet high in saturated fat. Those who switched to a diets high in olive oil and those who replaced calories from saturated fats with carbohydrates lowered total and bad LDL cholesterol levels.
It's the third time the FDA granted a qualified health claim for conventional food. In March, the agency said "supportive but not conclusive research" shows that eating 1.5 ounces of walnuts per day may reduce coronary heart disease risk. In September, it issued a similar qualified claim for the heart-healthy benefits of omega-3 fatty acids.

justice will be served for lacy peterson
Peterson killed wife to be free, state says: "REDWOOD CITY, Calif. -- Scott Peterson strangled or smothered his pregnant wife not simply to be with his lover, but to rid himself of an unwanted child and to pursue life as a freewheeling bachelor, a prosecutor contended Monday during closing arguments.
'The reason he killed Laci Peterson was Conner Peterson was on the way,' prosecutor Rick Distaso told jurors. 'Things were going to change. No more of this running around, living this double-life thing.
'He wants to live the rich, successful, freewheeling bachelor life. He can't do that when he's paying child support, alimony and everything else,' the prosecutor said. 'He didn't want to be tied to this kid the rest of his life. He didn't want to be tied to Laci for the rest of his life. So he killed her.'
The trial is in its 23rd week after testimony from 184 witnesses.
Peterson is charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of his wife, Laci, and the fetus she carried. Prosecutors claim he killed her on or around Christmas Eve 2002, then dumped her weighted body into San Francisco Bay. The remains of Laci Peterson and her fetus were discovered along a shoreline about four months later, a few miles from where Scott Peterson says he went fishing alone the day his wife vanished.
Defense lawyers say someone else abducted and killed Laci.
Prosecutors have said Peterson's main motive for murder was to be with his lover, massage therapist Amber Frey. On Monday, Distaso elaborated on that theme.
'Amber Frey represented to him freedom. Freedom is what he wanted,' Distaso told jurors.
The prosecutor highlighted the 'two lives' of Scott Peterson -- the public man who appeared to have had the perfect marriage, grieving for his missing wife, and the private man who continued to woo his lover and lie to frie"

Rolen drove in 124 runs and batted .358 with runners in scoring position, second-best in the NL. But he's been injured much of the final month and is still trying to get his timing back.
He was hitless in 12 at-bats in the division series, settling for six walks.
Several times during the first round, manager Tony La Russa said Rolen wasn't completely healthy but was 'playable.' And defense at third base has been a constant for the five-time Gold Glove winner.
'I'm not real worried about what the stats say or don't say,' Rolen said. 'I didn't get a hit the whole series, but we're in here popping champagne, and that's all that matters.'
The best-of-seven NLCS begins Wednesday night in St. Louis. The Cardinals play the Houston-Atlanta winner.
Rolen was sidelined for 16 games with a strained left calf muscle sustained Sept. 10 legging out a double right after fouling a pitch off his shin. He's in a 3-for-29 slump overall with one home run since returning.
This after batting a career-best .314, his first .300 season. He has driven in 100 or more runs five times in eight major league seasons and was the leading vote-getter on the National League All-Star ballot.
Teammates expect more of a typical contribution in the NLCS.

ST. LOUIS -- Another round of playoffs is giving Scott Rolen a chance to get his timing back.
The St. Louis Cardinals advanced to the N.L. Championship Series for the third time in five years, dispatching the Los Angeles Dodgers in four games in the opening round.

October 12, 2004
When the Grizzlies begin their exhibition schedule tonight at Orlando, they will be without starting point guard Jason Williams.
That's the bad news.

The good news is Williams's absence isn't because of injury.
Williams didn't travel with the Grizzlies on Monday afternoon so that he could be with his pregnant wife, Denika. They are expecting their second child at any moment.
The Grizzlies will gladly welcome continuity whenever it comes.
Circumstances -- mostly injury related -- have forced several key players to miss practice time since training camp began a week ago.
In addition to Williams, small forward James Posey is expected to sit out with a left foot sprain.
Coach Hubie Brown said the Grizzlies' first outing on the eight-game preseason schedule won't reveal much.
'You just want to see where you are after a week,' Brown said. 'We're handicapped because of the lack of key personnel. ... But this is not about wins and losses. This is about competition so that at the end of 30 days we have the right 10 guys in position. Then it's about us making the right decision because two guys will play their way off this roster.'
The Grizzlies still have 17 players and must trim their roster to 15 by Nov. 1. Coaches will form opinions rather quickly given the Grizzlies play two more games by the weekend.
Brown said he's optimistic the Grizzlies will enjoy better health by the end of the week. They play home exhibition games Thursday (against Cleveland) and Saturday (against Indiana).

Reuters | Latest Financial News / Full News Coverage: "Seven die in Japan 'Internet suicide' pact
Tue 12 October, 2004 13:40
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese police say they are investigating a suspected group suicide involving seven people who met through the Internet, the latest in a rash of suicides linked to the Web.
The four men and three women, mostly in their 20s, were found dead on Tuesday in a car parked on a mountain road in Minano in Saitama prefecture near Tokyo, officers said.
Police said they found four charcoal stoves in the car, which was wrapped in blue plastic sheets and had its windows sealed from the inside.
'We believe they all died after inhaling carbon monoxide from the charcoal,' a police spokesman said. 'We believe they got acquainted through the Internet.'
One of the seven had sent an e-mail to a friend on Monday saying he would commit suicide, the spokesman said.
'We found no traces of violence that could have otherwise led to their deaths,' he said.
Empty cans of liquor were found inside the car and a box of sleeping pills near the silver vehicle, Kyodo news agency said.
No religious prohibitions exist in Japan against suicide and it has long been seen as a way to escape failure or of saving loved ones from embarrassment for financial loss. However, it has also been stigmatised as a shameful, taboo subject.
In Kanagawa prefecture, just west of Tokyo, police said two women in their 20s had killed themselves in a car in what was believed to be another case of Internet suicide.
Cases dubbed by the Japanese media as 'Internet suicide' pacts started to come to the fore in 2003. A total of 34 people killed themselves in such pacts last year, according to police data.

IOL: A Step Beyond: "Drebach - In a freak chain of events, a burning wasp triggered a fire in the attic of a house in an eastern German town, police reported on Wednesday.
Police in the town of Drebach said a roofing worker was attacked by a swarm of wasps. To protect himself, he used his blowtorch against the insects, setting one of the wasps on on fire.
The insect then flew back to its nest, which was located in the rafters, setting it on fire.
The blaze then spread to the attic, police said.
The damage was estimated at �2 000 (almost R16 000). - Sapa-dpa "

Jamaica braces for ferocious Hurricane Ivan. 10/09/2004. ABC News Online
Jamaica braces for ferocious Hurricane Ivan. 10/09/2004. ABC News Online: "Jamaica is now bracing for Hurricane Ivan after its 240 kilometre per hour winds devastated the island of Grenada.
Half a million people were urged to leave their homes in low-lying areas of the south, including parts around the capital, Kingston, but officials said many residents were reluctant to abandon their homes for fear of looting.
Residents of the island of 2.7 million people were scrambling to protect their homes and stock up on supplies before the hurricane was due to make landfall on Friday night.
'This one looks like a killer. If it follows the same path, a lot of us will die,' Kingston resident Jefferson James said.
At 5:00am local time, Ivan's centre was about 360 kilometres south-east of Kingston.
It was moving west north-west at 20kph and was due to hit Jamaica on Friday night.
Ivan's winds had weakened a little to near 230kph but forecasters warned it remained a dangerous category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale of 1-5 and could pick up strength again and reach the top of the scale as it approached Jamaica.
Ivan killed at least 23 people as it roared through the Caribbean, most of them on the devastated spice island of Grenada, which officials said remained without power or water."

Bartlett Police Search for BBQ Bandits
Police are looking for two men who held up the Pig N Whistle restaurant Saturday night. The men, armed with a sawed-off shotgun, went into the restaurant in Bartlett a few minutes after closing time, robbing the employees and forcing them into the walk-in coolers. They took the cash from the registers and got away, but not before their vehicle was seen by a man who had arrived to pick his daughter up from work. The men are described as 6 ft. tall, one wearing a light blue bandana over his face and a red t-shirt. The other was wearing a dark blue t-shirt and a red bandana over his face. If you have any information, call Bartlett Crimestoppers at 382-MONY.

Run for your life! There are sharks in the river!
This story interested all the swimmers in our class
Sharks, as the new movie "Open Water" shows, are the predators of the deep, lurking beneath the high seas. So it's a little strange to hear they could also be lurking a little closer to home.
Like in the Mississippi River. It's possible - although unlikely - that sharks could be swimming around in the Big Muddy. One species, called the bull shark, is capable of living in fresh water.
"It's very realistic. It's not something that probably happens with a lot of regularity," said Glenn Parsons, a shark expert and professor of biology at Ole Miss. "They probably move up into the Mississippi certainly with more regularity than we are aware of." In September 1937, two fishermen near Alton, Ill. - 1,400 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico - pulled a 5-foot-long, 84-pound bull shark from their nets. Bull sharks have been found hundreds of miles up the Amazon; in Lake Nicaragua, a freshwater lake in Central America; and 160 miles up the Atchafalaya River in Louisiana, among other spots, Parsons said. In 1916, in one of the country's most famous shark attacks, two boys were killed and another seriously injured while swimming in Matawan Creek, a small tributary - 40 feet wide at its biggest point - in New Jersey several miles from the sea. Although a great white has often been blamed in those attacks, it's considered likely that a bull shark killed the boys. Still, experts say you shouldn't get too worked up about the possibility of spotting a dorsal fin on the Mississippi. "If you think of the odds, you have a better chance of winning the lottery," said Jack Grubaugh, an associate professor of biology at the University of Memphis. "This is like the chimpanzee writing 'Hamlet.' "
