A NEW STAR WARS IS COMING IN 2015 - Business Insider

?

Disney just bought Lucasfilm for $4 billion.

Announcing the news, Disney also said it will release a new Star Wars movie in 2015.

The movie is currently titled Star Wars: Episode 7.

That means it will take place after Return Of The Jedi.

From a press release: "Star Wars?Episode 7?is targeted for release in 2015, with more feature films expected to continue the?Star Wars?saga and grow the franchise well into the future."

Traditionalists are going to scream in horror at this news, but there is a silver lining. The new films will?not be produced by George Lucas ? who lost his touch a long time ago.

Disney executive?Kathleen Kennedy will be executive producer of all new Star Wars films. Lucas will serve as a mere "creative consultant."

We're ALL going to want to be cynical about this and assume the new movie will be terrible.

But let's make a deal.

First watch this, allow yourself to hope for a minute or two, and then return to reality if you want:

YELLOW MAGIC ORCHESTRA BGM music review by frogbs

A number of people have wondered if YMO really belong on a "progressive" webiste. It's true that this as virtually nothing to do with "King Crimson" or "Genesis" or "Canterbury Scene". But let's face it. Progression doesn't have to be done with rock instrumentation only. Case in point this, one of the all time greatest synthesizer albums. Forget the Kraftwerk comparisons for a minute. I love the hell out of KW but they simply didn't have the talent or ingenuity of YMO. This is certainly technopop of the highest order but there is so much going on behind the scenes, some of which you can't hear unless you've got the right system. The overall sound is murky but this was a very conscious decision. Songs like "Camoflague" and "Music Plans" have a skittering, dark feel to them that take several listens to fully digest. And one of the tracks is basically a symphony ("Mass") with electronic beats. You want to talk progressive? Nobody was using an 808 in 1981 for Christ's sake. "1000 Knives" gives you a big dose of the 808 behind one of Sakamoto's earliest compositions, and the result is something incredible. Certainly you've seen people breakdance to beats like this but the frantic synth stabs behind it are something that is rarely heard. YMO was certainly at a highpoint creatively with this - they had enough left over for another album the same year, also a classic.

South Africa's Zuma rides out strikes, on re-election path

JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - A storm of violent wildcat strikes in South Africa's mines has eased, leaving President Jacob Zuma battered but defiant, and buoying his chances of heading off rivals to win a party leadership election in December.

With most strikers in gold and platinum mines returning to work after threats of dismissal and some sweeteners on pay, the 70-year-old head of state appears to be weathering the biggest threat so far to his plans to stay on as leader of the ruling African National Congress (ANC).

In the worst mining violence since the apartheid era, at least 50 people have died over several months; it has dented investor confidence in Zuma's handling of Africa's largest economy and led to downgrades of its sovereign credit ratings.

Zuma's populist image has also been tarnished by the killing by police of 34 strikers at Lonmin's Marikana mine in August, the bloodiest security incident since white-minority rule ended in 1994. His government has faced fierce criticism that its response was slow and insensitive.

But in a country where ANC dominance of the political system counts for as much as superficial popularity, the overall waning of the strikes has given Zuma political room to marshal the support he needs to carry the internal election in December - despite a lingering threat rivals might join forces to oust him.

"The sentiment seems to be coalescing around Zuma's re-election bid, with it appearing for now that the worst is over for the strikes," independent political analyst Nic Borain said.

"But this does not address the fundamental issues that have changed as a result of the strikes: that a mass, African, working-class constituency has emerged in our politics that is potentially hostile to the ANC and its alliance partners."

Although gold miners have returned to work, some strikers at world No. 1 platinum producer Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) are still refusing to go back to work, despite a company offer to reinstate them. Police fired tear gas and rubber bullets at striking Amplats miners on Tuesday, in a sign that industrial calm is not yet fully restored.

SUCCESSION BATTLE

Zuma was in defensive but confident form when he met foreign reporters, giving them a rare briefing on Monday in which he rebuffed suggestions by his own deputy that the Marikana events and ensuing strikes were a national "tipping point".

"South Africa is not at a tipping point," he said. "I think South Africa is on the move, moving forward.

"Strikes in a democracy are a common occurrence," he added. "It's way too exaggerated to say that because there are strikes, South Africa is in a big crisis."

He chastised the media for rushing to identify splits and divisions in the ANC, saying its leadership process was a part of South Africa's democracy and was following its normal course.

No challenger has yet declared for a vote to be held among 4,500 delegates meeting on December 16-20 at Mangaung, though it will be at least another month before the nominees are decided.

But Zuma, who unseated then president Thabo Mbeki in a bitter battle for the ANC leadership in 2007, seems already to have locked up the necessary support at provincial branch level.

"(This) appears to mean he's pretty impregnable ... and this is despite him handling Marikana politically in an appalling way," said John Campbell at the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations. "He has every reason to be confident," added Campbell, a former U.S. ambassador to Nigeria.

Retaining the ANC leadership would put Zuma in line to win a second five-year term as national president in 2014.

However, he cannot rule out surprises. One senior member of the ANC's National Executive Committee, who professed support for Zuma, told Reuters privately that a "succession battle" was still being waged and was "tearing the organization apart".

ANC insiders say there is a substantial "anyone but Zuma" camp willing to throw its weight behind any possible challenger - notably enigmatic deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe.

Motlanthe, 63, who served briefly as South African president after the ANC ejected Mbeki in 2008, has kept his plans close to his chest, letting others campaign on his behalf. He might play safer and seek a deal to remain Zuma's No. 2 in order to position himself for a future shot at the presidency.

"SINS OF THE OPPRESSORS"

Zuma, Motlanthe and others have acknowledged that the 100-year-old party of Nelson Mandela, which came to power in 1994 promising "a better life for all", needs to perform better.

"The government has to change the way it works," Zuma told the foreign correspondents, even as he insisted the ANC had made great strides in providing houses, water and electricity for millions, and curbing one of the world's highest HIV/AIDS rates.

The president said it was the "sins of the oppressors" - colonialism and apartheid - that were holding back progress.

As a politically connected business elite and swelling middle class prosper, South Africa's income inequality is rated one of the worst in the world and has become more acute.

Nearly two in five of the 52 million South Africans live on less than $3 a day and for many the mines unrest is emblematic of growing discontent with the ANC's stewardship of the economy.

Ratings agencies recommend fixing a broken education system and reforming a labor market that has hurt competitiveness.

Political analyst Borain said Zuma's consensual style had helped him secure his base within the party but now made him vulnerable to accusations of weak and vacillating leadership:

"The very good quality of being more of a compromiser and an alliance builder also brings out his worst quality," he said, "Which is indecisiveness and the party paralysis that characterizes his government."

The Weekend Getaway. You Can Do This | Business Travel Blog

As we truck through our busy, day to day work schedules, the thoughts of taking a vacation are always on our minds and clearly marked, in bold on our?calendars?at work. However, most of us may not have available vacation time or we just simply can?t afford it. There are ways to make a quick escape by taking advantage of our weekends and save money in the process. ?The beauty of a weekend getaway is that it can be done every weekend. Imagine that, you?re getting a mini vacation on a weekly basis. Here are some simple ideas and steps you can take to alleviate that itch to get out of town and unwind. All it takes is a little flexibility and creativity.

Avoiding those peak weekends like Memorial Day weekend or Labor Day can be a deal breaker if you?re looking to save money. Here at Lets Fly Cheaper we recommend being flexible on the days you want to travel. You can enjoy the gratification of a two day weekend without breaking the bank. Hotels and airlines tend to hike fares during extended weekends.

Driving to your destination can also save big bucks. Of course this can vary depending on how expensive gas might be at the time of your trip. Remember, this is a weekend getaway so the odds are you?re not making a cross country adventure and driving is likely the most efficient and economical way to go. The time it takes to drive to the airport, check in, go through security and board your airplane, you can be more than half way to your destination by car. Gasbuddy makes a fantastic app that allows the user to find the cheapest locations to fill up.

If flying is the only way you will go then we suggest packing extremely light. Aside from Southwest Airlines, most airlines now charge for checking a bag. You can save the $25 to $50 by putting everything you need for your weekend getaway into one carry on sized piece of luggage. In addition this will save on having to wait and shuffle through the baggage carousel crowds.

If a large city is on your itinerary our suggestion is to utilize the city subway system to save cash on transportation. Most large city subways offer 1 to 3 day passes starting at $5. The savings are big when you calculate what it cost to pay individually per trip. A visit to 5 attractions in a city like Washington D.C will add up quickly so a pass is the best option.

Traveling with a group as opposed to solo or as a couple can also be a big savings advantage. Taking one vehicle and pitching in on the fuel cost is one obvious way to save. Another way to save would be on hotel cost. Many hotels might have a multi room suite option or you can book a room with two queen sized beds. Other deals can be found through group rates on food and entertainment options.

Local deal sites like Groupon and Living Social are enormously popular for a reason. People actually find great deals. I am one of them. I use these sites religiously when it comes to finding deals in my area as well as outside of my area. We recommend signing up for email alerts that pertain to your getaway location prior to your departure.

If museum visits are on your getaway itinerary we know how quickly that cost can add up in cities that charge for museum entry. Washington D.C is one of the only large cities with free entry to most of their museums. City Pass is a great way to get bungle package deals and it allows you to purchase the package of your choice in advance.

Why wait for your vacation time to kick in when Friday is just around the corner? Get out there and enjoy your time off.

Facebook used to kidnap, traffic Indonesian girls

8 hrs.

Margie Mason , Associated Press

When a 14-year-old girl received a Facebook friend request from an older man she didn't know, she accepted it out of curiosity. It's a click she will forever regret, leading to a brutal story that has repeated itself as sexual predators find new ways to exploit Indonesia's growing obsession with social media.

The junior high student was quickly smitten by the man's smooth online flattery. They exchanged phone numbers, and his attention increased with rapid-fire texts. He convinced her to meet in a mall, and she found him just as charming in person.

They agreed to meet again. After telling her mom she was going to visit a sick girlfriend on her way to church choir practice, she climbed into the man's minivan near her home in Depok, on the outskirts of Jakarta.

The man, a 24-year-old who called himself Yogi, drove her an hour to the town of Bogor, West Java, she told The Associated Press in an interview.

There, he locked her in a small room inside a house with at least five other girls aged 14 to 17. She was drugged and raped repeatedly ? losing her virginity in the first attack.

After one week of torture, her captor told her she was being sold and shipped to the faraway island of Batam, known for its seedy brothels and child sex tourism that caters to men coming by boat from nearby Singapore.

She sobbed hysterically and begged to go home. She was beaten and told to shut up or die.

So far this year, 27 of the 129 children reported missing to Indonesia's National Commission for Child Protection are believed to have been abducted after meeting their captors on Facebook, said the group's chairman, Arist Merdeka Sirait. One of the 27 has been found dead.

In the month since the Depok girl was found near a bus terminal Sept. 30, there have been at least seven reports of young girls in Indonesia being abducted by people they met on Facebook. Although no solid data exists, police and aid groups that work on trafficking issues say it seems to be a particularly big problem in the Southeast Asian archipelago.

"Maybe Indonesia is kind of a unique country so far. Once the reports start coming in, you will know that maybe it's not one of the countries, maybe it's one of a hundred countries," said Anjan Bose, a program officer who works on child online protection issues at ECPAT International, a nonprofit global network that helps children in 70 countries. "The Internet is such a global medium. It doesn't differentiate between poor and rich. It doesn't differentiate between the economy of the country or the culture."

Websites that track social media say Indonesia has nearly 50 million people signed up for Facebook, making it one of the world's top users after the U.S. The capital, Jakarta, was recently named the most active Twitter city by Paris-based social media monitoring company Semiocast. In addition, networking groups such as BlackBerry and Yahoo Messenger are wildly popular on mobile phones.

Many young Indonesians, and their parents, are unaware of the dangers of allowing strangers to see their personal information online. Teenagers frequently post photos and personal details such as their home address, phone number, school and hangouts without using any privacy settings ? allowing anyone trolling the net to find them and learn everything about them.

"We are racing against time, and the technology frenzy over Facebook is a trend among teenagers here," Sirait said. "Police should move faster, or many more girls will become victims."

The 27 Facebook-related abductions reported to the commission this year in Indonesia have already exceed 18 similar cases it received in all of 2011. Overall, the National Task Force Against Human Trafficking said 435 children were trafficked last year, mostly for sexual exploitation.

Many who fight child sex crimes in Indonesia believe the real numbers are much higher. Missing children are often not reported to authorities. Stigma and shame surround sexual abuse in the world's largest Muslim-majority country, and there's a widespread belief that police will do nothing to help.

An ECPAT International report estimates that each year, 40,000 to 70,000 children are involved in trafficking, pornography or prostitution in Indonesia, a nation of 240 million where many families remain impoverished.

The U.S. State Department has also warned that more Indonesian girls are being recruited using social media networks. In a report last year, it said traffickers have "resorted to outright kidnapping of girls and young women for sex trafficking within the country and abroad."

Online child sexual abuse and exploitation are common in much of Asia. In the Philippines, kids are being forced to strip or perform sex acts on live webcams ? often by their parents, who are using them as a source of income. Western men typically pay to use the sites.

"In the Philippines, this is the tip of the iceberg. It's not only Facebook and social media, but it's also through text messages ... especially young, vulnerable people are being targeted," said Leonarda Kling, regional representative for Terre des Hommes Netherlands, a nonprofit working on trafficking issues. "It's all about promises. Better jobs or maybe even a nice telephone or whatever. Young people now, you see all the glamour and glitter around you and they want to have the latest BlackBerry, the latest fashion, and it's also a way to get these things."

Facebook says its investigators regularly review content on the site and work with authorities, including Interpol, to combat illegal activity. It also has employees around the world tasked with cracking down on people who attempt to use the site for human trafficking.

"We take human trafficking very seriously and, while this behavior is not common on Facebook, a number of measures are in place to counter this activity," spokesman Andrew Noyes said in an email.

He declined to give any details on Facebook's involvement in trafficking cases reported in Indonesia or elsewhere.

The Depok girl, wearing a mask to hide her face as she was interviewed, said she is still shocked that the man she knew for nearly a month turned on her.

"He wanted to buy new clothes for me, and help with school payments. He was different ... that's all," she said. "I have a lot of contacts through Facebook, and I've also exchanged phone numbers. But everything has always gone fine. We were just friends."

She said that after being kidnapped, she was given sleeping pills and was "mostly unconscious" for her ordeal. She said she could not escape because a man and another girl stood guard over her.

The girl said the man did not have the money for a plane ticket to Batam, and also became aware that her parents and others were relentlessly searching for her. He ended up dumping her at a bus station, where she found help.

"I am angry and cannot accept what he did to me. ... I was raped and beaten!" said the lanky girl with shoulder-length black hair. The AP generally does not publish the names of sexual abuse victims.

The girl's case made headlines this month when she was expelled after she tried to return to school. Officials at the school reportedly claimed she had tarnished its image. She has since been reinstated, but she no longer wishes to attend due to the stigma she faces.

Education Minister Mohammad Nuh also came under fire after making remarks that not all girls who report such crimes are victims: "They do it for fun, and then the girl alleges that it's rape," he said. His response to the criticism was that it's difficult to prove whether sexual assault allegations are "real rapes."

The publicity surrounding the story encouraged the parents of five other missing girls to come forward this month, saying their daughters also were victimized by people they met on Facebook. Two more girls were freed from their captors in October and are now seeking counseling.

A man who posed as a photographer on Facebook was recently arrested and accused of kidnapping and raping three teenage girls. Authorities say he lured them into meeting him with him by promising to make them models, and then locked them in a house. Police found dozens of photos of naked girls on his camera and laptop.

Another case involved a 15-year-old girl from Bogor. She was recently rescued by police after being kidnapped by someone she met on Facebook and held at a restaurant, waiting for someone to move her to another town where she would be forced into prostitution.

In some incidents, the victims themselves ended up recruiting other young girls after being promised money or luxuries such as mobile phones or new clothes.

Police are trying to get a step ahead of the criminals. Detective Lt. Ruth Yeni Qomariah from the Children and Women's Protection unit in Surabaya said she posed as a teenager online and busted three men who used Facebook to kidnap and rape underage girls. She's searching for a fourth suspect.

"It has been getting worse as trafficking rings become more sophisticated and underage children are more easily targeted," she said.

The man who abducted the Depok girl has not been found, and it's unclear what happened to the five other girls held at the house where she was raped.

"I saw they were offered by my kidnapper to many guys," she said. "I don't know what happened. I don't want to remember it."
