| Kosovo Serb Protesters Attack UN Police
It is sending the picture of Serbia as bandits," said Miobor Stosic, 67, a retired airline official. "We are so ashamed."
Toma Rajcic, 40-year-old lawyer from Belgrade, was depressed over what happened.
"It is disgusting. It is all coming back, the fighting, darkness," he said. "It is disgusting. It's time to leave this country."
Pro-Western politicians in Serbia accused hard-line nationalists in the Kostunica's government of inciting the violence.
Parties of Tadic and Kostunica are united in a coalition government that has ruled Serbia since mid-2007. But the two differ sharply on Kosovo, with Tadic saying Belgrade must press on with efforts to join the EU regardless of Kosovo, and Kostunica seeking to drop the bid because most EU countries plan to recognize the province's independence.
McCain and Romney spar over Michigan economy
When Bill was governor of Arkansas, law enforcement officials, politicians, and military personal alike said Hillary was very demeaning, demanding, and hateful towards ALL men. Her attitude seems to be a spillover (towards all men) from her loathing of Bill and his philandering. Had she not needed him to (eventually) be viable for the Presidency, she would have dumped him years ago. She is a "willing victim" for the sake of her unbridled political ambition. >> Amy Rees, a stay-at-home mother in San Francisco who will vote in the California Democratic primary Feb. 5. "I kept thinking that the truth is, a woman - even a woman of her unquestioned intelligence and preparedness - can't get even a single primary win. It really stung." .
Brady's inquisitors direct - and veiled
GLENDALE, Ariz. - Before offering himself up for public consumption in the annual rite of madness known as Super Bowl Media Day, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady playfully turned the tables on the ravenous horde lying in wait for him at University of Phoenix Stadium. Hounded by paparazzi since the day after the AFC Championship, when he showed up at the New York apartment of supermodel girlfriend Gisele Bundchen with flowers in hand and a walking cast on his right foot, Brady for a moment joined ranks with the camera-toting stalkers. "I gotta do this," Brady said, producing a small digital camera and snapping a photograph of the horde. "I'm not going to remember this one day." The first question, naturally, was about Brady's ankle. It came from the NFL Network's Deion Sanders, whom Brady photographed and addressed as "Prime." "My ankle feels good.
US investors circle wagons, hope Fed rides to rescue
US investors endured a holiday-shortened week that left stocks mainly static despite weak economic readings that weighed on Wall Street, as hopes of fresh interest rate cuts helped shore up sentiment.
Market participants said the lackluster economic news in recent days was not surprising, but that it has heightened fears of a recession.
In a week shortened by Mondays public holiday, the leading blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average ended Friday almost unchanged at 12,381.02 points, up 0.27 percent from the prior Friday. The tech-rich Nasdaq composite fell 0.79 percent for the week to 2,303.35 and the broad-market Standard amp; Poors 500 index edged up 0.23 percent to 1,353.11.
US stock markets have fallen heavily this year as a two-year-long housing slump shows no sign of abating any time soon and as major financial firms continue to divulge hefty losses tied to ailing mortgage investments and other exotic securities.
JVC introduces high-resolution fixed IP network camera
JVC Professional Europe has extended its IP camera product line up with the introduction of a new high-resolution fixed IP network camera, model VN-V25U. The VN-V25U comes in a 23% smaller enclosure than its predecessor the VN-C20U and incorporates advanced electronics for IP surveillance.
The VN-V25U produces superior image quality and the camera provides full motion dual stream VGA resolution for both Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 images at 30 frames per second (fps). Here, operators are able to view images in real-time and at a low bandwidth MPEG-4. When an alarm is triggered, the camera can stream real-time Motion JPEG images for continuous and high quality recording.
The Wide-D function incorporated inside the camera is the equivalent to the conventional wide dynamic range function found inside traditional analogue CCTV cameras and allows pictures to be adjusted to identify details of the subject even in backlit conditions.
Capable of Rage
In humans, related anger reveals itself with road rage, an impulsive form of anger that involves little or no thought. "In road rage, the person never thinks about what he is doing but just acts in the way he does because he feels that he has been threatened by someone else and the impulsive behavior represents a way by which he can protect himself from such a threat," co-author Allan Siegel told Discovery News. "In reality, his actions are usually much more dangerous to him than to the person whom he perceived cut him off on the road," added Siegel, a professor in the Department of Neurology & Neurosciences at New Jersey Medical School in Newark. Prior studies have suggested that anger is centered in the medial hypothalamus region of the brain, more colloquially known as the midbrain's gray matter.
