They work almost exclusively with found, inherited, re-purposed and salvaged materials, mixing, matching and mashing them together to build collages of scrap…. Read the full story on TreeHugger

War correspondent Michael Ware worked for CNN from 2006 until April of this year, during which time he became known for covering the hellscape of our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with brutal honesty and an keen analytical sense that often cut against the standard talking points. He's since been struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and today the Brisbane Times is reporting on an event that might have contributed to that — an alleged 2007 war crime that CNN refused to air. Kate Dennehy, who reports that Ware is “set to reveal” the details, describes the incident: Mr Ware tells of the alleged incident he says he witnessed and filmed in 2007 when working for US news giant CNN, but claims the network decided the footage was too graphic to go to air. He alleges that a teenager in a remote Iraqi village run by the militant Islamist group, al-Qaeda was carrying a weapon to protect himself. “(The boy) approached the house we were in and the (US) soldiers who were watching our backs, one of them put a bullet right in the back of his head. Unfortunately it didn't kill him,” he tells Australian Story. “We all spent the next 20 minutes listening to his tortured breath as he died.” Ware goes on to describe his mental state during that time, in which he realized that he was “more concerned with the composition” of his photo than he was with intervening in some way. “I indeed had been indifferent as the soldiers around me whose indifference I was attempting to capture,” Ware says. In 2008, Ware gave an interview with Men's Journal's Greg Veis, that hinted at his mental anguish. “I am not the same fucking person,” he tells me. “I am not the same person. I don't know how to come home.” http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/21/michael-ware-former-cnn-w_n_733030.html added by: CaptSutter

Coldplay frontman played unreleased song, ‘Wedding Bells,’ while Gaga, via video, introduced Ping social network site. By Gil Kaufman Coldplay’s Chris Martin Photo: Justin Sullivan/ Getty Images For Apple geeks, the sight of company CEO Steve Jobs is akin to a rock star encounter, because they know that whenever he takes the stage in his signature black turtleneck for the company’s annual new-product-announcement event, they’re going to be blown away. But on Wednesday in San Francisco, Jobs brought along some actual star firepower in the form of Coldplay singer Chris Martin and Lady Gaga to announce the new line of iPods and a musical social networking site called Ping. Jobs rolled out the iPods first, showing off the revamped iPod Shuffle, which brings back finger controls, and the tiny Nano, which ditches buttons for a touch screen. Then, according to reports, Martin came out and played the new tune “Wedding Bells,” which he said might never come out. “This is the beginning of a story kind of thing that starts sadly,” he explained, telling the audience it might be the only time they ever hear the composition. “Those wedding bells ringing up upon that hill/ And I don’t want to swallow such a bitter pill/ You keep on movin’, while I stay still/ But I always loved you and I always will,” Martin sang intensely while gently playing piano. Martin also played such well known Coldplay hits as “Viva La Vida” and “Yellow” before Jobs brought out another big gun, Lady Gaga, to introduce Apple’s latest innovation. With 160 million potential users from day one, the company’s music-focused social network, Ping, will be included in the upcoming iTunes 10 update. Jobs brought up a Lady Gaga page to demonstrate the service, described as “Facebook and Twitter meets iTunes.” Users can follow their favorite artists and friends, see what they’re listening to and downloading, post opinions and thoughts on music and browse concert listings on the new service. Gaga appeared via pre-taped video from the studio to hype the new product. But the biggest buzz about her drop-in after the event centered on reports that Apple had allegedly scrubbed some of her tweets celebrating the recent overturning of anti gay-marriage legislation Proposition 8 in California in a promo screenshot of a Gaga Ping page, according to Gawker.

Image from Christie’s : Cormac McCarthy’s Olivetti Maybe a blogger shouldn’t be extolling the virtues of a typewriter, but there is a lot to be said. Such as how environmental they are… Yes, they do use paper…. but that’s it. They last forever; they are pretty simple and straightforward in their composition. There are few fiddly parts to be endlessly upgraded. The manual ones require physical prowess to make that satisfying return of the carriage. Some, like the Olivetti, have become de… Read the full story on TreeHugger
