Prison-Yard Pot Plagues Japanese Lockup
A Japanese prison is scrambling to eradicate marijuana plants that keep sprouting up on its exercise ground, officials said Tuesday.
The marijuana plants started sprouting at Abashiri Prison on Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido about a year ago, said prison official Takeshi Okamura. He said officials plucked out as many as 300 marijuana plants and treated the ground last year, but several more sprouted again this year.

How to Capture Motion Blur in Photography
Capturing movement in images is something that many photographers only think to do when they are photographing sports or other fast moving subjects.
While there is an obvious opportunity in sports photography to emphasize the movement of participants - almost every type of photography can benefit from the emphasis of movement in a shot - even when the movement is very small, slow and/or subtle.

If you know anything of my work (you're reading this, so there is a good chance that you do) you have some idea of the thread of optimism that runs through it. For 30 years I have been giving and getting joy with my art.

How much could you spend in one day on food?
I was thinking recently as I watched some of these "lifestyles of the rich and famous" type shows, what would really be the ultimate in extravagant, unnecessary opulent indulgence? After some thought, (maybe because I was hungry) I put together the "The Most Expensive Days Worth of Food Possible"

Top 10 Tech Toys for the Filthy Rich
Just as cell phones are becoming ever more powerful übergadgets, and flat TV screens get larger even as their prices drop, so, too, do the gadgets of the upper crust further distance themselves from the trinkets of the masses. For better or worse, most of the guts of even the priciest pieces of tech are pretty much the same as those of the glitterati — even if the oil sheiks and Level III Scientologists of the world can afford to house those guts in 24-karat gold inlaid with Babe Ruth's bone fragments.

Google Phone (G-Phone) for all Google Online Services
So the iPhone has finally been unlocked and now its time to prepare yourself to unlock the Google Phone. The Google Phone is yet to come out in the market but one thing that gives us the satisfaction is that Google Phone would probably not come with any restrictions like the iPhone and will be able to run with any GSM network out of the box. It will also feature 3rd Generation Mobile Technology and many features which the iPhone lacks.

Uranium's reaction to a nuclear future
As oil has been the "black gold" which has made many fortunes, some have started to call uranium "hot gold". The market for the dense, metallic element which fuels nuclear power stations has exploded over the past few years. Having languished at less than $10 (£5) a pound for much of the 1990s - which saw the closure of many uranium mines - its price shot up by 900pc between 2001 and 2006.

Keith Richards fumes at poor reviews
Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has demanded an apology from Swedish newspapers for their scathing reviews of the group's performance in the country earlier this month.
Tabloids Expressen and Aftonbladet gave thumbs down to the Aug. 3 concert at Ullevi stadium in Goteborg, with Expressen suggesting Richards was "superdrunk" on stage.
"This is a first!" the 63-year-old rock star wrote in a letter published by Stockholm daily Dagens Nyheter. "Never before have I risen to the bait of a bad review.
"But this time ... I have to stand up ... for our fans all over Sweden ... to say that you owe them, and us, an apology."
