The Year in Rewind
DVD Reissue of the Year: Warner Home Video's incredible release of Blade Runner was a triumph for archivist-documentarian Charles de Lauzirika, who oversaw the reconstruction of Ridley Scott's influential 1982 sci-fi detective story into a stunning new package built around a definitive new director's cut and a comprehensive documentary running over three and a half hours. And that's just the basic two-disc set; you could also opt for four- or five-disc sets that included as many as four different cuts of the movie, including the legendary Workprint version. Whether or not you buy into the theory of Deckard as a replicant, this is an essential title for your library ... particularly if you own a high-definition player. .

ELECTION 2008: MCA pits novice against Lim Kit Siang
MCA is placing so much faith in its record in Perak that it was willing to field a novice against DAP supremo Lim Kit Siang in the Ipoh Barat parliamentary seat. The candidate - Liew Mun Hon, a 32-year-old engineer, will pit his wits and sizeable party machinery against the veteran Lim. This was apparent after Perak MCA unveiled its list of candidates - 11 new faces in 16 state seats, including two women, and five new candidates among seven parliamentary contenders. The two women candidates, Christina Teoh Ai Ling, 32, and Yew Sau Kham, 54, had been named for the Menglembu (now held by DAP) and Teja state seats.
Perak MCA chairman and party's secretary general Datuk Ong Ka Chuan announced the name of candidates. He also listed a nine-point strategy for the election.
Aug. 2, 1873: San Francisco's First Cable Car Conquers Nob Hill
1873: Andrew Hallidie tests the first cable car in San Francisco. Hallidie is said to have conceived his idea in 1869 while watching a team of horses being whipped as they struggled to pull a car up wet cobblestones on Nob Hill. They slipped and were dragged to their deaths. It so happened that Hallidie's father held the British patent for wire-rope cable and when the son came to the Gold Rush fields he put it to use hauling ore-laden cars from mines. So it wasn't too much of a stretch for him to envision horseless cable cars carrying passengers up the steep slopes of San Francisco's hills. He formed the Clay Street Hill Railroad and was awarded a contract to build the city's first cable-car line up Nob Hill. Fourteen months later, on Aug. 2, the first cable car made its way up Clay Street.
Look homeward, Gen X
Many are first-time home buyers who don't have a home to sell; others may already own property but are planning on keeping it as an investment. It's a generation that knows what it wants." And Gen Y is right on their heels. The Massachusetts real estate organization's recently published profile of the 2007 sales year showed the median age of home buyers to be 39 years old. But of first-time home buyers, nearly half - 49 percent - were between the ages of 25 and 34. And it appears that Gen Yers - loosely, those born during the last two decades of the 20th century - are taking a cue from their predecessors and becoming homeowners at even younger ages. In fact, Gen Yers may be buying the old lofts and converted condos Gen Xers are selling as they decamp to the suburbs, said Kathy Sheehan, senior vice president for GfK Roper Reports, a consumer survey company in New York.
Spurs 2-1 Chelsea (aet)
Good afternoon all Duncan Castles wrote a good Carling Cup preview in today's Observer, which saves me a job. If you can't be bothered clicking on it, one of the more interesting extracts features Tottenham manager Juande Ramos saying that his side "are like Sevilla [his old club]. To have a trophy now would take a lot of pressure off the team so they can work more calmly with the aim of then fighting to be up there with the best teams - to be in the top four, to go for the Champions League, to win more trophies." .
More 'Tampa' letters
But during my 2 years studying there I have to say that Australian people are among the friendliest I know. The Australian government's attitude toward the boat people on board of Tampa, however, is a different story. I agree that illegal immigrants should not be given the impression that Australia is an easy country to enter. But leaving these people stranded on the boat while waiting for the three governments to negotiate is unacceptable. Norway is too far away, Indonesia lacks the resources to cater to these people (not to mention the (asylum seekers') unwillingness to go there). So why can't Australia take those people temporarily? Return them to their country later if they do not meet the requirement for refugee status.

An Indonesian currently working in Oslo Our country (Australia) may look big enough to accommodate millions of people but only the coastal strips are fertile and the soil is too thin, so Australia's future cannot guarantee the wellbeing of these overwhelming rush of newcomers.
