LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., March 8, 2010 – Canon U.S.A., Inc, a leader in digital imaging, today announced the launch of the REALiS SX7 Mark II Multimedia LCOS Projector. This new model combines the award-winning features of REALiS projectors with an impressive 4000 lumens of brightness and a Photo Image Mode to assist users with advanced color management and adjustments for ambient lighting conditions.

The Photo Image Mode allows users to easily make changes to improve the look and feel of the content being projected. Within this mode the Color Level and Color Temperature functions allow for fine-tuning of both the intensity of colors and the color temperature by selecting from easy-to-use presets. In addition, the Photo Image Mode includes an Ambient Light function which can be used to compensate for lighting conditions for both the type of lighting (Tungsten, Fluorescent and Fluorescent H) and intensity (Low, Medium or High). The ambient light function is ideal for users displaying content and cannot control the lighting conditions – such as educators speaking in classrooms or photographers showing their work in an art museum/gallery or at a seminar. The functions available in the Photo Image Mode allow users greater control of color reproduction and image quality.

“Whether presenting photographs, videos, presentations, or any other content, the color accuracy and amount of ambient light will play a major role in the perceived quality of work,” said Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A. “The high-brightness and Photo Image Mode included on the REALiS SX7 Mark II allows users to display their images with outstanding detail and superb quality.”

The REALiS SX7 Mark II Multimedia LCOS Projector features advanced LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) technology with Canon’s patented, proprietary AISYS (Aspectual Illumination System) Optical Engine. This advanced technology, combined with the projectors SXGA+ (1400 x 1050) native resolution and 4000 lumens of brightness, delivers extraordinary detailed, lattice-free motion and still images. This combination makes the REALiS SX7 Mark II ideal for classrooms, meeting/board rooms, photo studios and seminars/conferences.

The Canon REALiS SX7 Mark II Multimedia LCOS Projector supports Adobe RGB and sRGB color spaces. Both of these color spaces are of critical importance to professionals demanding precise color-matching in the following fields of work: professional photography, graphics, printing, computer aided design and medical imaging. Additional key features include:

• Genuine Canon 1.7x Powered Zoom/Focus Lens for ease of projector placement

• Supports popular widescreen WXGA (1280 x 800) resolution computers with no need for compression and/or unsightly distortion

• DVI-I Terminal ensures a true digital connection for high quality images and video

• Off & Go system allows the projector to be unplugged as soon as it is tuned off. This allows for quick and easy pack-up after a finishing a presentation.

Availability and Warranty Information

The REALiS SX7 Mark II Multimedia Projector has a suggested list price of $6,999 and is scheduled to be available in early April. This new model is backed by Canon USA’s Three-Year Limited Warranty and exclusive Projector Protection Program (“Triple P”). Triple P is a FREE service program that provides a loaner projector of equal or greater value in the event that a qualifying unit is in need of repair. Triple P is available on all Canon projector models during the Three-Year Canon USA Limited Warranty period.*

The White House Flickr feed never fails to disappoint! This batch of photos might be our favorite yet, with pics of the Obamas getting down at the Governors Ball, some friendly First and Second family basketball rivalry, a drum line in the White House's Cross Hall and a shot of Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag's hipster boots. Take a look and let us know which image is your favorite:

Looks like that some of the wine corks in the photo are made of that corkless stuff. I suppose that is recyclable but I would need to do research. In the meantime I have a container filling up with wine corks of both types. I was planning on using them in some sort of art project.

Our local IKEA takes in small batteries for recycling. I don't shop there very often, but I collect my batteries in a container until I have enough to justify a trip the mouse maze or am shopping nearby.

My San Diego neighborhood has green recycling and takes about every thing except palm fronds and other fibrous plants. City residents can go to the green recycling center and get free mulch and compost.

I second what JScott says, shop greener.

   Semi nude women and a Museum of Crptozoology? Where do i sign? In all seriousness, it is a worthy cause. Personally I believe in the ethical treatment of animals and lend my support to PETA as i’ve been a vegan on and off myself for some years now( I just can’t stay away from cheese) . Kudos to you Loren for practicing what you preach and please, more photos!

   Take photos anyway!

   March 10th, 2010 at 10:59 am

   I had to reregister in order to post! I guess it’s been a loooong time, but I just couldn’t let this slide past. PETA is more interested in collecting $$ than helping animals or even treating them well. http://www.petakillsanimals.com

4. crapple responds:
   March 10th, 2010 at 11:10 am

   i agree with Greybeard, they kill about 90% of animals they take in, instead of sending them to nearby shelters that actually could take care of them.

   Personally, i too believe in treating animals right, but we are still higher on the food chain.

8. cryptidsrus responds:
   March 10th, 2010 at 5:11 pm

   I agree with most of the above posters. PETA kills 90% of the animals they take in and oppose Animal Experimentation even if it is STRICTLY for Medical Purposes and the Animals are treated humanely. Their actions also borders on the terroristic. I’m into animals but I’m not going to potentially take human life for them, either.

   “Personally, i too believe in treating animals right, but we are still higher on the food chain.”

   My sentiments exactly…Thanks for the insight, CRAPPLE. I know many will disagree with that, and that’s OK. I’m personally an unrepentant Omnivore who eats Red Meat at least once a week. “Keeps me healthy,” as Marlene Dietrich said about Smoking. LOL.

   Don’t wear Fur but would love to own one one day. I know, I know, that makes me the “Devil,” but my take on it is, if the anmals are raised strictly for that purpose and are treated Humanely during their lifetimes, I have no problem with that. Again, many will disagree with me, but that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

   Didn’t know you were a Vegan, Loren. Interesting.
   Thanks for the update.

9. catstina responds:
   March 10th, 2010 at 7:42 pm

   Cryptidsrus, the problem with fur is that the animals are often not treated humanely. It’s the same problem as with meat and leather. They are often abused or kept in unacceptable situations. Some furs are even made from wild trapped animals that have to struggle in awful and painful traps before they are killed.

   I am no PETA member (I disagree with many of their campaigns, especially their support of breed specific legislation) but I still think that the fur, meat, and leather industries are cruel and unacceptable at times. Therefore, I would never purchase or support the purchase of fur (I also don’t eat meat or wear leather, but I don’t try and persuade others to do the same).

   Loren, that’s so cool that you are vegan! I had no idea!

10. Ayala responds:
    March 10th, 2010 at 8:38 pm

    Wait, wait, wait…

    You said:

    “Reportedly, they may disrobe further, closer to 1:00 pm, but I had cryptozoology to get back to at the museum!”

    You are REALLY dedicated to the ICM, Loren!!! LOL!

The 4th annual SearchFest conference is in the books, and this one was a lot different than previous SearchFests. The venue was bigger, the crowd filled it, and — for the first time — there were three tracks running concurrently. I’m hoping to do another post on one content-related element from the show, so this post is only going to be a link to my Flickr photoset and an embedded slideshow below. (Disclaimer: The lighting made photography exceptionally difficult, so don’t be alarmed if some of these look … different.)

  Cheap Sony VCT-80AV Remote Control Tripod for use with Compatible Sony Camcorders Discount Review Shop

  I have a Sony Z5 camera, so I know I should’ve bought the 300 dollar version of this tripod, which is probably more sturdy and durable. THERE ARE MANY SONY TRIPOD MODELS, MAKE SURE YOU CHECK ALL OF THEM OUT BEFORE YOU PICK ONE. Sometimes it’s not very clear what the differences are, though… br /Since I could only afford this one, I have to admit it’s pretty awesome considering the price. We all know a decent pro tripod costs at least 300 bucks, but this one does a lot of stuff for a third of that. Bubble level, very smooth panning and tilting, relatively tight and stable, remote control zooming, recording and photo taking on the handle… but to be lightweight and inexpensive, it had to sacrifice something: this one has some parts made in cheap plastic, like the hand crank to raise the height and the locking plate. Treat these with care and don’t leave them in direct sunlight, and it’ll probably last a few years. Definitely not the last tripod you’ll every buy, but does the job.

  Very pleased! – Robert P. Manwaring – Anchorage, AK United States
  I’ve been looking for a video tripod with a fluid head that was also reasonably priced. I wasn’t having much luck with that! After purchasing a new Sony camcorder and reviewing accessories, I noticed this tripod. I was apprehensive as there were some remarks about the head not being very fluid. I received the tripod today and opened up the package right away to check it and I’m VERY pleased with the movement in all directions. I’ve finally found the tripod I’ve been looking for. The remote control handle is just icing on the cake! I highly recommend this tripod!

  sony VCT-80AV remote control tripod review – Laurence B. Budd – Fort collins, colorado
  This tripod has some nice features, but is shaky. It is very lightweight, which is great when one is carrying it. The mounting plate is plastic, and my sony handycam wobbles a bit. The handle with the remote record on/off, camera on/off and variable zoom is great. The slow zoom works very well, nice and smooth. The camera can be mounted on the tripod with the handle to the front,making it easy to start/stop and zoom when you are alone. The tilt and pan functions claim to be fluid filled, I can’t tell that they are. Both are poor in the mid range, sort of either stiff or loose. Overall, For the price, the remote feature is very nice. But it is not a stable tripod.

  good video now great video – Keith Klbecka – chicago,il usa
  Nice movement control, used mostly to film sporting events for the kids.A touch pricey ( $ 20.00 less? ) would be fine but well made,no bs.Nice case delivered on time. Thats what happens when you spend a little more….youre usually satisfied

Add this one to the long list of scandals involving altered news photos: World Press Photo disqualified the third prize winner of the contest's Sports Features category for removing an extraneous foot from an image.

Stepan Rudik's story about street fighting in Kiev, Ukraine included a close-up image of someone's hand being bandaged (first image shown here). Removed from the original image (second image shown) was a small, blurry white sneaker that belonged to a person standing in the background.

WPP organizers said on their Web site that after the contest results were announced, it came to their attention "that Rudik's story had violated a contest rule. After requesting RAW-files of the series from him, it became clear that an element had been removed from one of the original photographs."

Bill Frakes, a WPP juror, explained to PDN: "The jury felt that this was not acceptable.  Not in line with industry standards which is the test."

I don't argue that the profession has to draw its lines in the sand. Various bloggers have reported the controversy, and Rudik has been taken to task. It's a public ritual by which examples are made of people–previously Brian Walski, Patrick Schneider, Allan Detrich, and Edgar Martins, to name several–and standards are maintained.

But I have to confess that I don't entirely understand the arbitrary rules and the lack of proportionality. It's as if littering were as bad as armed robbery, and murder OK depending upon the weapon.

In Rudik's case, for instance, he was disqualified for removing the smallest element, but I would argue that all his other manipulation to the image in question did much more to change the meaning. And it was all acceptable, apparently. He converted a color image to black and white. He blew the image up. He cropped the image. He vignetted it heavily. Burning out the sneaker in a darkroom probably would have been OK back in the day, when photographers did that all the time. But removing that sneaker in Photoshop? That was a cardinal sin, and some famous burn-and-dodgers of yore are now said to be spinning in their graves.

Related photo doctoring stories:
Brian Walski was fired by the Los Angeles Times in 2003 for altering an Iraq war photo.
Patrick Schneider was stripped of POY awards in 2003 and was fired by the Charlotte Observer after a second offense in 2006.
Allan Detrich resigned from the Toledo Blade in 2007 after he was caught doctoring numerous photos.
Edgar Martins embarrassed The New York Times last summer after it published images he had altered.

H To The Izza, E To The Boue! Jay-Z Loves Him Some Arsenal

H.O.V.A. may run a musical and clothing empire but his expertise in those areas apparently doesn’t translate to the world of soccer. The Sun has revealed that Jay-Z is an Arsenal fan. In the words of the Guardian Knight in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade, “He chose poorly.”

The Gunners have offered Jay and his lovely wife BEYONCE free VIP hospitality seats whenever they fancy seeing a game at the North London club’s Emirates stadium.

Club bigwigs contacted the rapper after reading in my pages that he is a big Arsenal fan.

… And the Jiggaman said: “I’d like to thank the club for their kind offer.

… He added: “I’m glad Arsenal now know it’s them I support.”

What’s not to like about a team that runs around playing “sexy football” but can’t finish the job? A hip-hop star shouldn’t want to be seen supporting anyone that can’t climax while pouring Cristal on their bitch. How long before Arsenal is sponsored by ExtenZe? Maybe Jay and Arsene Wenger can do a Cialis commercial where they sit in bathubs holding hands.

Note: Perhaps the Roc should look closer to home. Check out this post on Jay-Z and a potential MLS linkup. It’s just an idea but a damn solid one. Take some time and check out Nutmeg Radio. They’re new and have a different take on the beautiful game as well as some solid soccer gear.

What’s Next? The Dogs With Bees In Their Mouth And When They Bark They Shoot Bees At You?

Hilarity ensues when a Panamanian soccer game is interrupted by a swarm of bees. Skip to 1:05 and enjoy!

And As Promised, The Wanking

Say a heartfelt goodbye to BBC presenter Kristian Digby who David Carradine’d himself this weekend. Of course we don’t want to celebrate anyone dying besides Guy Fieri or that girl from the Progressive Insurance ads. Our condolences go out to his family and friends but it’s hard to feel bad for people that go out like Carradine. At least there weren’t any ladyboys involved. Our tribute:

Ladies and gentlemen it’s here! The countdown is on and we are about to cross the psychological number of 100 days left to go. FIFA Soccer World Cup has become the most awaited sports event in recent history not just because of its magnitude but because it comes to the world’s most colourful continent – Africa!

While the Western media still doubts South Africa’s capability to hold the tournament and always throwing jibes at the continent, the South African authorities are ready to make a buzz of this as 2nd March counts exactly 100 days to the start of this magnanimous event.

What should South Africa do to convince the world that it is ready?:

I have had to ask myself, what else will South Africa do to convince the world that it is not only ready, but capable of hosting and hosting well, the World Cup?

He continues:

The countdown, therefore, has nothing to do with the readiness of the teams, rather it tends to sensitise us to the greatest single sport spectacle on earth. And in this wise, the South Africans can be assured of my vote. The South Africans have so woven life round the World Cup that long after the competition had gone, (just one month) the legacy that will be left behind will be awesome.

The BlaBla Blog puts it into perspective (albeit more practical) by focusing on the ‘fly the flag for 2010 in South Africa event which is a celebration of this important milestone,

2 March is therefore earmarked as a day on which South Africans, here and abroad, are called upon to demonstrate their excitement for the tournament and to display their passion for the country and the beautiful game

In an interesting survey from the South African Road Safety blog, the figures show that 85 % of the South Africans believe the country’s ready to host the tournament:

a record high (85%) of South Africans supporting the preparation ahead of the World Cup has surfaced in African Response’s latest 2010 Barometer – measuring perceptions of readiness ahead of the World Cup in around the major metropolitans in South Africa

However, South Africans are cognisant of the fact that there is still work to be done ahead of the World Cup and 61% agree that we need to focus on policing and security if our visitors are to leave our shores having had a good experience in our country

The SouthAfrica WorldCupBlog was more satirical in its post titled – Here come the fat cats of FIFA…:

FIFA President Sepp Blatter joined many other dignitaries for a 100-day countdown bash in Durban. Local Organizing Committee Chief Executive Danny Jordaan will be present along with Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe. Other participating celebrities include Jay Jay Okocha, Roger Milla, Mark Fish, and Hossam Hassan.

It also highlights the issues still grappling the organisers especially on the issue of the infrastructure in particular the stadium(s):

The latest concerns surround the quality of playing surfaces that are available at both the host stadiums and at some of the training bases chosen by the participating teams.”… The fields were boggy and saturated so the English FA contracted Richard Hayden, from the Sports Turf Research Institute to work on improving their condition. He did such a good job that FIFA signed him up to work on all the problematic pitches around the training camps.

According to Soccerway.com, South Africa is still wooing fans with 100 days remaining:

President Jacob Zuma in his state of the nation address urged locals to buy more tickets and to support the games to honour former president Nelson Mandela, who lobbied to bring the World Cup here. Mandela was central in assisting the country to win the rights to host this great event. We therefore have to make the World Cup a huge success in his honour,” said Zuma. “The infrastructure, security and logistics arrangements are in place to ensure a successful tournament.

“We will deliver a great World Cup,” declares The Times Online blog:

The rising excitement across the nation is palpable and South Africa is about to show the world what Africa is capable of doing. We are a nation with major social challenges, but we will deliver a great World Cup

Finally BushRadio’s blog discusses the events arranged to mark the occasion:

The deputy president will then join a major public celebration at the Durban city hall where a range of festivities will provide a foretaste of the colour and energy of the 2010 FIFA World Cup tournament,”
And also,
Marking the day also Bafana Bafana will play host to neighbours Namibia on Wednesday evening, kick-off at 20h30. The hosts go into the International Friendly in good form after 6-2 and 3-0 wins over Swaziland and Zimbabwe respectively.

Earlier this week I read an interesting post on the 20 Best Known European Football Brands on The UK Sports Network site. The article referenced a Sport+Markt 2009-2010 study of brand recognition among football fans in the top five markets (UK, Germany, Spain, France & Italy). You can read the report yourself here.

I thought it might be interesting to look at this data and try to extrapolate from it which club brands were the most powerful. Unscientific of course, but I wanted to see to what degree being aligned with a specific club (or clubs) is a factor, in addition to sponsoring tournaments like the FIFA World Cup, UEFA Champions League or UEFA European Championships. So, let’s take a look. Here’s the 2009 Delloitte & Touche Money League of clubs* along with the brands listed in the Sport+Markt survey (and the brands ranking in that survey) associated with them:

1. Real Madrid – adidas (1), Coca-Cola (5), Audi (8), bwin (9)

2. Manchester United – Nike (2), AIG (6), Audi (8),

3. FC Barcelona – Nike (2), Audi (8), Unicef (15)

4. Bayern Munich – adidas (1), Coca-Cola (5), Audi (8)

5. Chelsea – adidas (1), Samsung (10), Heineken (20)

6. Arsenal – Nike (2), Emirates (5)

7. Liverpool – adidas (1), Carlsberg (7)

8. AC Milan – adidas (1), bwin (9)

9. AS Roma -

10. Inter Milan – Nike (2)

11. Juventus – Nike (2)

12. Olympique Lyonnais – Umbro (16), Orange (18)

13. Schalke 04 – adidas (1)

14. Tottenham Hotspur – Puma (3), Carlsberg (7)

15. Hamburger SV – adidas (1), Emirates (5)

16. Olympique Marseille – adidas (1), Orange (18)

17. Newcastle United – adidas (1)

18. VfB Stuttgart – Puma (3), Coca-Cola (4)

19. Fenerbahce – adidas (1), Audi (8)

20. Manchester City – Umbro (16)

*I looked for the list of official club sponsors on official team websites as of February 2010.

Who from the Sport+Markt list weren’t represented by a club from the Delloitte & Touche Money League clubs?

11. Reebok

12. Opel (Read this Sport Business story from 2001 calling them the ‘most successful shirt sponsor’)

13. Vodafone

14. Ford – Champions League

17. MasterCard – Champions League

19. Sony – Champions League

Regarded by many as the most technologically advanced console on the market, the PlayStation 3 is still the console for serious gamers. Games developers are still grappling with the challenge of making the most of the PlayStation 3's processing power, but some of the games on this list bring to the screen graphical detail and sophisticated gameplay the like of which have never been seen before. These are the ten games we think you would do well to consider buying or borrowing. In no particular order.

>Civilization Revolution (2k Games): This game has been around in one form or another for 18 years, and this latest version is what its creator Sid Meier says is “the one I wanted to make”. An engrossing world-domination simulation, Civilization Revolution takes the series to new levels of graphical brilliance and gameplay. This console version removes some unnecessary complexities, and concentrates your mind on the idea the addictive challenge of guiding your clan from a bunch of ancient warriors to a powerful global force.

>Midnight Club: Los Angeles (Rockstar): The fourth installment in the Midnight Club series contains some of the most detailed cars ever seen in computer games. This highly regarded, immensely exciting urban racing game is packed with fantastic locations and beautiful cars. It's also a difficult enough challenge for you to have to go through many, many hours of gameplay. The main protagonist in the game, known as “Player”, is asked by various shady characters to go on missions which, when completed, earn him a reputation and money.

>Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction (Sony): Although this is the seventh adventure for the loveable alien duo, this is the first time they have made an appearance on the PlayStation 3. An epic sci-fi adventure, the plot may not be as involving as some other games, but the controls of the game are perfectly tuned and there's too much action going on for you to want to worry about the plot. The richly textured galaxy scenes and the buddy-buddy wise-cracking between the unlikely heroes makes this an all-round entertainer.

> Mirror's Edge (EA): This underrated action thriller has an engrossing storyline and imaginative setting. It's an innovative and highly stylised chase game that brings a new physicality to the first-person perspective, and it has the kind of cinematic style found in the best films. Mirror's Edge may find a larger audiences if future versions involve more gameplay, as one of the reasons why it was underrated was because it's possible to finish it in a few days. But if you're looking for something won't take forever to get to the end, this game is for you.

>Red Faction - Guerrilla (THQ): This well designed third-person sci-fi blaster has the kind of superficial storyline that many gamers find interesting if they think about it, but there's too much going on to be able to think too deeply. The action scenes are right up there with the best games released in recent years. Set amid a bloody revolution on the planet Mars, the destructive environments are incredible fun, as are the amazingly powerful weapons.

>Valkyria Chronicles (Sega): This cleverly devised, popular game is set up as a deep, tactical role-playing scenario-based strategy challenge, and if you're not familiar or have never played the Final Fantasy series, you will find this a real eye opener. Set on a warring continent not unlike 1930s Europe, you play the part of a meek and mild engineer who sees the war unfold while behind enemy lines. The story of oppression and honour is surprisingly involving, and will have you engrossed for many days.

>inFamous (Sony): It may not have enjoyed the mega-success that it expected when it released this game, but Sony has at least shown again that it can make games that have an interesting storyline and involve great action. A massive explosion hits the fictional Empire City, and the character that you control finds that he has super powers as a result. So, inevitably, battle a variety of deadly comic book-style villains. It's an intriguing sci-fi romp and is one of a new generation of open-world action adventures.

>Ninja Gaiden Sigma (Tecmo): As with most games that require some time to learn the controls for the fight system, your efforts will be rewarded with precise and exciting gameplay. The fictional story involves your character, a Ninja, who has to recover a sword and avenge the massacre of his clan by the evil Vigor Empire. Brutal combat scenes pepper the whole game and the weapons are more powerful than you expect and the moves are more extravagant than you thought they would be.

>Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood (Ubisoft): Some gamers say this is slightly flawed offering, but hasn't stopped vast hordes of gamers from taking it up and enjoying it all the same. The gamers who appreciate it regard it as an extremely atmospheric Wild West shooter, filled with exciting shootouts, swaggering outlaws and convincing John Ford-esque locales. If you're tired of the second world war and the Middle East, it's a mightily refreshing change of pace.

>Condemned II: Bloodshot (Sega Europe): This is a truly gruesome first-person shooter following an alcoholic serious crimes investigator, Ethan Thomas, on the hunt for serial killers in the back alleys of Metro City. According to one reviewer in The Guardian, “If you're after gore, violence and, well, more gore, you really shouldn't miss this. Your children very much should, though.”
