Galaxy Nexus Time Lapse Feature Turns 400 Mile X-mas Drive Into 6 Minutes of Fun

YouTube Preview Image

One of the coolest features introduced with Ice Cream Sandwich and the Galaxy Nexus, was the camera?s ability to record time lapse video. If you have the time and occasion where you may not need to move your phone for an extended period of time, you can create some pretty amazing clips. The problem there being, an extended period of time where you are not needing to use your phone much. One of our readers just so happened to have that time this past holiday weekend on his 400 mile drive home. With car mount in check and charging cable attached, his Galaxy Nexus turned his journey into 6 minutes of time lapse fun. ?

For those unfamiliar with the time lapse option, simply head into your camera app, choose the video recorder and then the half circle icon to set your time lapse interval. Press record and enjoy!

Cheers Ben!

Toxin found in Chinese milk

SHANGHAI, Dec 27 ? China has discovered excessive levels of a cancer-causing toxin in milk produced by one of the nation?s leading dairy companies, the firm said, in the latest in a series of food safety alarms.

The government?s quality watchdog found high levels of an aflatoxin, which is caused by mould, in milk produced by the Mengniu Dairy Group, the company said in a statement issued on Sunday.

Mengniu said the milk, produced at one of its plants in the southwestern province of Sichuan, was tested before being sold so the contaminated milk never reached the market.

China is trying to crack down on product safety violations to reassure citizens and restore faith in the government after a series of high-profile scandals.

Milk was at the centre of China?s biggest food safety scandal in 2008 when the industrial chemical melamine was found to have been illegally added to dairy products to give the appearance of higher protein content.

At least six babies died and another 300,000 became ill after drinking milk tainted with melamine.

Product safety problems have been found in goods ranging from pharmaceuticals to cooking oil. In September, the government arrested 32 people over the sale of cooking oil made from leftovers taken from gutters.

Aflatoxins can be found in milk after cows consume feed contaminated by mould and can increase the risk of cancer, including liver cancer, according to the World Health Organisation.

Mengniu said the products had been destroyed, and apologised to consumers.

The General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine made the latest discovery in nationwide testing of 200 dairy products made by 128 companies, the agency said separately. ? AFP

Groups unite to provide bicycles for tornado victims

Published: Sunday, December 25, 2011 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, December 23, 2011 at 10:04 p.m.

TUSCALOOSA | VeloCity Pro Cycle and the Druid City Bicycle Club are coordinating the Tuscaloosa Bicycle Relief initiative to collect donations of bicycles for people who lost their modes of transportation in the April storms.

Money, bicycles, helmets and locks are welcome, but the program is accepting only equipment that is in working condition. Donations can be made to Druid City Bicycle Club and shipped to VeloCity Pro Cycle at 2318 4th St. All donations are tax deductible.

Donations will be strategically awarded to recipients based on need, with those requiring transportation for work taking priority.

Organizers are also welcoming donations of bicycles for children.

Pixie Hicks, a member of Druid City Bicycle Club, noticed the visible signs of damage the tornado had left on people?s modes of transportation in the weeks after.

?Generally, I remember seeing people driving around Tuscaloosa with cars that were battered up and with tape and cardboard on them,? she said.

In an age of urban sprawl and miles of roads that separate one from home and work, the need for reliable transportation is greater than ever.

Hicks said several people in the bike club were directly impacted by the tornado. Sam Rombokas, an officer in the bike club, lost his home and his bike. He said Tuscaloosa Bicycle Relief is a natural step for the bike club.

?I guess it would be similar to people who had access to clothing stores and access to people who had donations of clothes,? he said. ?Our contribution was to replace an integral part of people?s lives, and we have found with our observations that there seems to be an increased number of bicyclists around town, not only with students, but also with people who are now riding for transportation. We suspect that is because of the hardship suffered in the form of loss of automobiles, and people have perhaps tightened their budgets to help recover from their losses.?

Rombokas was out of town when the April tornado struck his home, leveling the house and rending his Cannondale bike in two.

?We spent probably the next four weeks constantly digging through and removing bricks and walls of the chimney to find small pieces and remnants of our property,? he said. ?We kept finding things further and further away from the house. My wife eventually went to the next subdivision down and lo and behold, she finds my bicycle.?

Rombokas said he loved the bicycle, having tracked more than 5,000 miles on his Cannondale in the previous year.

Knowing Rombokas? affection for his bike, Bruce Henderson, the president of the bike club, contacted the national office of Cannondale to ask for help. Weeks later, Cannondale provided Rombokas a replacement frame for a new bike.

Henderson said he contacted local business owners to request donations of bicycles. The main task was to find the people who relied on bicycles for transportation.

?We decided to go and use social media very heavily and asked a lot of people in churches and employers in town like DCH (Regional Medical Center) to help in identifying people in need of bicycles,? he said.

Top 10 college football coach Christmas wishes

It?s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Coaches come and go ?

Aw, we love our college football coaches. The sport would be so boring without these masters of strategy, these leaders of men, these architects of scandal. Certainly, we prefer to see them happy this holiday season.

With that, The List?s Top 10 college football coach Christmas wishes:

1. Todd Graham, Arizona State: a better data plan. Because having to take pains to awkwardly explain yourself afterward really defeats the purpose of sending a hundred or so student-athletes a life-altering text message with cold-hearted detachment.

2. Chris Petersen, Boise State: a QBPS to go with his GPS. Look, who the hell knows where and whom the Broncos will play once the whole Big ?East? thing gets rolling? More urgently, Petersen has to develop a successor to 50-win Kellen Moore at quarterback. Do people really think the Boise program is such a well-oiled machine that such a thing takes care of itself?

3. Jimbo Fisher, Florida State, and Brian Kelly, Notre Dame: Year 2 do-overs.The postgame-handshake powwow at the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando will go something like this. Coach A: ?Nice game.? Coach B: ?What are you, high?? Coach A: ?You?re right. I seriously can?t believe I just said that.? Coach B: ?Let?s just pretend this season never happened, OK??

4. Bret Bielema, Wisconsin: a wing and a prayer ? make that two prayers. What are the chances the Badgers have a player in the pipeline with an arm like Russell Wilson?s and the as-yet-unfelt presence to lead them to their third consecutive Rose Bowl? But first: a nice torrential downpour where it almost never rains to neutralize Oregon?s insane speed would be mighty convenient.

5. Larry Fedora, North Carolina: a new old hat. Everybody seems to like and believe in Fedora, which is what happens when one steers a non-BCS program into the mainstream consciousness. But Fedora had better improve the state of football in Chapel Hill or else?in the eyes of major-conference ADs?it?ll be like his time well spent in Hattiesburg never happened.

6. Charlie Weis: a healthy quarterback. No, we aren?t referring to Notre Dame transfer Dayne Crist?s physical well-being; he?s healthy as a horse, strong as an ox, what have you. His emotional state, however, may be a different story after the way Kelly chewed him up and spit him out in South Bend in 2011. When the going gets tough (like it?s not going to at KU), will Crist ever believe in himself again?

7. Tim Beckman, Illinois: a defibrillator. How can Beckman possibly revive a team that was DOA for six straight games after a 6-0 start? Clear!

8. Rich Rodriguez, Arizona: more time for offseason workouts. Come to think of it, one must be careful with that sort of thing. Perhaps Rodriguez would be better off with a right-hand man who has a clue about coaching defense.

9. Bob Davie, New Mexico: a new footbaw. Because we?ll tell you what: At the end of the day, a footbaw coach can?t win a whole lot of footbaw games unless he has one heck of a footbaw team, without a bunch of good footbaw players. And what does all that start with? That?s right, a footbaw.

10. Mike Leach, Washington State: a crimson-and-gray eye patch. Don?t worry about the possibility the Pirate of the Palouse already has one. As bad as the Cougars are likely to be in 2012, Leach may need to cover both eyes.

U.S. "BBQ diplomat" wary of young North Korean leader (Reuters)

HACKENSACK, New Jersey (Reuters) ? Photographs of North Korean diplomats line the walls at Cubby's, a New Jersey barbecue restaurant whose owner says he bonded with officials from the secretive Communist state over baby back ribs.

Bobby Egan is one of few Americans who has traveled to North Korea. He claims friends among Pyongyang's former diplomats to the United Nations and said he used to go on occasional fishing and hunting trips with some of them in New Jersey.

But Egan said he had the same bewildered response as anybody else to Kim Jong-un, the 20-something son of Kim Jong-il who became North Korea's leader when his father died last weekend.

"He's got a pudgy face. You want to squeeze his cheeks and give him a kiss," said Egan, a charismatic, barrel-chested New Jersey native of Irish and Italian ancestry.

"Quite frankly, he doesn't look like he's been in a fist fight. How is he going to run the fifth-largest military in the world?" he said. "This is a rough and tumble world out there, especially for a dictator in 2011."

Egan's story goes back to the late 1970s, when he launched a personal crusade over U.S. prisoners of war unaccounted for in North Korea and Vietnam. He says he became friendly with several officials at the U.N. mission of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, as North Korea is known.

Over the years, Egan held several unofficial roles, including head of the U.S.A.-D.P.R.K. Trade Council - a largely made-up group that made it possible for him to travel to North Korea.

The quirky relationship between Egan and several North Korean diplomats was the subject of a 2007 article in the New Yorker (http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2007/10/08/071008fa_fact_mead?currentPage=all).

Egan's memoir "Eating with the Enemy: How I Waged Peace with North Korea From My BBQ Shack in Hackensack" was published last year by St Martin's Press and HBO has bought the film rights.

But North Korea experts cast doubt on the significance of any relationship between Egan and North Korean officials.

Charles Pritchard, the U.S. special envoy for talks with North Korea in 2001-2003 and now president of the Korea Economic Institute in Washington, said Egan has embellished his role and the North Koreans saw him as nothing more than a "free meal."

"There is so much that is not true and so much that is exaggerated. It is more entertainment and fantasy than reality," he said in an interview. "I certainly got nothing from him."

Egan, 53, says North Korean diplomats ate for free at Cubby's, a short drive from midtown Manhattan, and some became regulars.

"Baby back ribs - well done, light on the sauce" was their favorite dish, Egan said. He added, in a hushed voice, the North Koreans' teeth cannot handle too much sweet sauce.

Egan eventually made several trips to the secretive state, beginning in 1994. But he said he never saw Kim Jong-un and knows little about him.

KEEP YOUR FRIENDS CLOSE

For Egan, who did not graduate from high school and describes himself as a former drug addict, his connection to North Korea offered the chance for some excitement.

"I was for a while our only in-country guy who was feeding back intelligence. I was our guy inside there. And I was also Pyongyang's guy in New Jersey," he said, summing up his diplomatic philosophy as "keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

Any connection between Egan and U.S. intelligence could not be confirmed.

John McCreary, a retired analyst for the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency and a North Korea expert, said in an interview when Egan's book was published that the restaurateur's role had been one of personal diplomacy.

"On a local, personal level there was a breakthrough. That's a good thing," McCreary said, describing Egan as a friend. He added it was not clear Egan had accomplished any more than that.

A representative at North Korea's U.N. mission told Reuters last year he understood Egan had ties with the mission but gave no further information.

Egan said he now has only infrequent contact with North Koreans. His last trip there was about five years ago but he hopes to return to open a branch of his restaurant in Pyongyang.

"My dream is that (President Barack) Obama appoints me ambassador and then I'll open my Cubby's right next to the embassy," he said.

GTA III goes on sale for the holidays, brings violence and cheer to Galaxy Nexus owners

GTA3 on Galaxy Nexus
A classic title like Grand Theft Auto III isn't exactly at hard sell at $5 on your smartphone or tablet -- at $3 you're almost a fool not to snatch it up. Perhaps more importantly though, Rockstar has expanded support for the crime adventure to a trio of Android handsets -- the Droid Bionic, Galaxy S II and, the phone of the moment, the Galaxy Nexus. While the white list only gains three new devices right now, there's potential to add more handsets down the line. The game is finally optimized for use with PowerVR GPUs, which are found in any phone running an OMAP or Exynos processor. So, what are you waiting for? Hit up the market now to get your dose of violence, mayhem and hall of fame gaming.
