BBC NEWS | Business | China 'discouraging France trips'
"Our embassy in Beijing is currently taking steps with the Chinese authorities to find out the reasons that could have motivated (the move)," said foreign ministry spokeswoman Pascale Andreani.

it's funny that with all the unfriendly and allowing those tibetan terrorist to terrorize olympics, they dont know the reason.
MVC separates the view from model and put all events into controller, not sure how valuable about processing your hard coded config value in your controller is over actual events, but for the model-view part, unless you really have a need for multiple looks (not through css stuff or component based web elements), you can always re-factor your code when needed, right? Isnt that what those tech chasers always claim?

BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | What is karma?
For this adult film actress, I am still waiting for her turn of things happening because of her own bad karma. Bowing to a liar like Da-Lia doesn't increase any for her either.

Beijing Olympics FAN! » Blog Archive » Bad Luck Fuwa?

Gossip sites are full of speculation that four of the five cartoon mascots have fulfilled prophesies of doom with one more, connected to the Yangtze River, still to come, the South China Morning Post said.

Jingjing, a panda, is the animal most closely associated with Sichuan province where the earthquake struck.

Huanhuan, a cartoon character with flame-red hair, is being linked by bloggers to the Olympic torch that has been dogged by anti-China protests on its round-the-world tour.

Yingying, an antelope, is an animal confined to the borders of Tibet, which has been the scene of riots and the cause of international protests against China, the bloggers say.

Nini, represented by a kite, is being viewed as a reference to the “kite city” of Weifang, in Shandong, where there was a deadly train crash last month.

That leaves only Beibei, represented by a sturgeon fish, which online doomsayers suggest could indicate a looming disaster in the Yangtze River, the only place where sturgeon is found.

?BBC NEWS | Europe | Spain twins sue over birth mix-up: "Spanish twins separated at birth 35 years ago through a hospital mix-up are suing the authorities."

This is getting ridiculous. How about just punish who ever was at fault if he/she is truly irreponsible? Why government/hospital have to pay so much for those people?
Piccolo Home Page: "A Structured 2D Graphics Framework

Welcome to Piccolo! A revolutionary way to create robust, full-featured graphical applications in Java and C#, with striking visual effects such as zooming, animation and multiple representations.

Piccolo is a toolkit that supports the development of 2D structured graphics programs, in general, and Zoomable User Interfaces (ZUIs), in particular. A ZUI is a new kind of interface that presents a huge canvas of information on a traditional computer display by letting the user smoothly zoom in, to get more detailed information, and zoom out for an overview. We use a 'scene-graph' model that is common to 3D environments. Basically, this means that Piccolo maintains a hierarchal structure of objects and cameras, allowing the application developer to orient, group and manipulate objects in meaningful ways."

BBC NEWS | Business | Google faces human rights votes: "It cannot be easy to be the company that set out with the motto: 'don't be evil'."

so the moto is still 'dont be evil', some kids insist it's 'do no evil', which is impossible, as 'evil' is not a pure objective thing.
