Alexander Burns / The Politico: Alito ribs Biden for
plagiarism — At a gala dinner hosted by the American Spectator
Wednesday, Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. cracked wise at Vice President-elect Joe
Biden's expense, raising the Delaware senator's past brushes with academic dishonesty to the
delight of his conservative audience.

the pace this year at the Miami art fairs is a bit slower than usual. But there are still a few
projects relevant to the art and technology field, see below. /p li piHome Movies/i by Jim Campbell

exhibited earlier this year at the Berkeley Art Museum, in honor of their acquisition of the work.

environment at Art Basel Miami Beach's Art Positions /a/p pFirst, there's beach. Then there's ULTRA
beach. ULTRA environment, the lounge for Art Basel's annual project "Art Positions" on Miami Beach,
will be transformed into "undulating waves, extrusions, and futuristic furniture all awash in a bed
of soothing psychedelic sound, light, and video." This immersive environment, co-produced by Art
Radio WPS1.org, contains video projections, live radio broadcasts, and a surround-sound audio
system embedded into the architecture of the lounge itself (designed by Federico Diaz and E-Area).
Sounds like a seriously next level lounge experience to me! /p pThe lounge will also host a series
of performances, one of which will be Christian Jankowski's iAbove All I'm an Artlover/i. Scheduled
for tomorrow evening at 8pm, it will expand upon his a href="http://blip.tv/file/999106/"iArt
Market TV/i/a, which was essentially a QVC-style shopping network for selling art. Translating this
format to stage, the performance promises to consider "both the art fair context and America's love
of shopping to create a play on the spectacle of commerce." /p /lili pa

Contemporary Life at the Cisneros Fontanals Art Foundation/a/p pThis exhibition, which opens this
week and runs until early March of next year, curated by Leanne Mella, is assembled from the
private collection of Ella Fontanals-Cisneros and looks at how artists articulate the exercise of
power, specifically in mediums responsive to the "corporatized film industry." In comparison to
most shows curated from private collections, the point of entry here seems more persuasive than
most. Artists include Alexander Apóstol, Judith Barry, Paolo Canevari, Stan Douglas, Jimmie
Durham, Cao Fei, Regina Galindo, Carlos Garaicoa, Thomas Hirschhorn, Jenny Holzer, Barbara Kruger,
Daniel Martinez, Carlos Motta, Shirin Neshat, Julian Rosefeldt, and Eve Sussman. /p pFor readers

German startup Club Cooee has
launched its 3D instant messaging service in private beta, and it doesn’t disappoint. The
service is a hybrid between traditional instant messengers like AIM and 3D social networks like
Second Life, allowing users to converse in chat bubbles while using their 3D avatars to express
emotions, and can also share photos and links visually. TechCrunch readers can grab one of 500
invites to the private beta here.
The application is very sleek, sporting an intuitive interface and quick, good looking graphics.
Each user can customize the appearance of their 3D avatar to their liking by modifying both their
physical appearance and purchasing in-game outfits using Club Cooee credits. Players can converse
either in private chats or as groups, and can meet in a number of public rooms designed to look
like virtual restaurants and meeting places. Each player is also given a room that they can
spruce up using a variety of in-game items, like televisions (which will be able to show YouTube
videos) and furniture.
To monetize, the site will allow users to buy extra credits to purchase virtual goods, and will
also offer premium services for a fee. Founder Alexander Jorias says that the service is also
planning to generate revenue with a number of B2B partners, and that little, if any money will
come from standard advertising.
While its execution is impressive, Club Cooee will have a few factors working against it. For
one, there’s no way to converse over the network when you don’t have the client
installed - you can’t message users via text messages, nor can you talk to them in a web
interface like meebo. The windowless
application may also confuse some users at first, as it can be easy to accidentally click on a
desktop icon or file while interacting with the Club Cooee client. And finally, it’s
Windows only at the moment (though a Mac version is promised).
Club Cooee will also be facing quite a bit of competition. There is no shortage of virtual
worlds, with available offerings like Second Life, Small Worlds,
Journeys (covered
here), and a number of kid-friendly worlds (Google’s attempt, Lively, is shutting its doors this month).

Buzo/b br/ Publisher: Allen Unwin 2006-12 | 232 Pages | ISBN: 1741752019 | PDF | 3.6 MB/divbr/
Charting the rise of cricket from its disreputable gambling origins in the 19th century to its
current status as a first-class game of today, this part social history, part blooper tape is a
humorous and acerbic commentary on the game's evolving—and often
absurd—manners and mores.
Finally, someone at
the Punisher: War Zone premiere asked
Lexi Alexander the big question -- what the hell
was all that "taking your name off the film" talk? Give a hand to SciFi Wire for doing so.
Alexander's answer managed to confirm and deny the post-ComicCon drama that surrounded
Punisher: War Zone. "No, no, I never was going to take my name off the film. Let me say
this. Harry Knowles [of Ain't It Cool News] is one of the greatest people I know. He's a great
supporter of mine. I'm his biggest fan, not because he supports filmmakers, [but] because I think
he fights for film ... I think in this case, what happened is when the first trailers came out, I
think he knew and he's been told there was kind of trouble. So he wrote, "F--k, they should have
just let her do it, and she was pushed aside." [That is] true. He did write the right thing, and he
stood up for me and for this film. I think that each Internet site that took it on brought it to a
new level ... [What Knowles wrote] really is the correct thing. I was never fired, and I never
wanted to take my name off. "
What Knowles wrote (if I have the right piece) was this: "Lexi Alexander has been kicked to the
curb -- part of that treatment was her "honeymoon" from Comic Con. However, there's more totally
awesome wedding gifts that Lionsgate has given the blushing bride. She's off the movie and wrapped
up in a non-disclosure clause - so we won't be hearing from her anytime soon, UNLESS THINGS CHANGE
RADICALLY." That explains the deafening silence -- though I'm curious how one can be "pushed
aside," yet remain unfired. However that works, it's clear Alexander kicked ass, made the
Punisher she wanted, and is getting rave reviews from the film geeks for her trouble.
There's nothing like a happy ending.

Democracy Now! interviews Matthew Alexander, author of How to Break a Terrorist: The US
Interrogators Who Used Brains, Not Brutality, to Take Down the Deadliest Man in Iraq. Alexander is
a former US military interrogator who deplores the use of torture in interrogation as ineffective
at extracting intelligence -- and he argues that it's very effective at outraging potential enemies
and turning them into murderous extremists. Yeah, you know, torture, it’s so narrowly or
broadly defined depending on who you’re talking to these days. I would say torture, to me, is
just unethical behavior. And you can do things that are legal, within the rules, that are
unethical. And so, I just know, me, by my gut feeling, based on the principles that I was raised
on, you know, that my parents gave to me, that there’s things I’ll never do, because I
know it feels wrong and it is wrong. And so, you know, others felt comfortable either pushing all
the way up to the limits and doing things that were unethical, but were legal, or breaking the
rules. I felt that was not something I was ever going to do and I wasn’t going to allow my
team to do. I think what’s more important at this point is we know that torture has cost us
American lives. We know that it’s ineffective. And we know that it’s wrong, and
it’s damaged our image. I think, you know, for me as a military officer, my job isn’t
to identify broken wheels, it’s to fix them. And so, the approach that I took and that I talk
about in the book is, how do we move forward? You know, we’re given this choice of either
terrorist attacks or torture. But maybe there’s a third way. Maybe there’s a better way
to do interrogations that has nothing to do with torture. And in the book, I describe the process
of coming up with these new ways and how my team, together, we were able to come up with the new
methods. US Interrogator in Iraq Says Torture Policy Has Led to Deaths of Thousands of American

href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/guardianfirstbookaward"Guardian first book award/a. Alex
Ross's The Rest Is Noise was the clear and undisputed winner of the £10,000 prize, which has
been presented at a ceremony in central London tonight./ppThe chair of the judging panel, Guardian
literary editor Claire Armitstead, said: "In some quarters this book has been seen as not having a
popular appeal. Our prize – which, uniquely, relies on readers' groups in the
early stages of judging – proves that, on the contrary, there is a huge
appetite among readers for clear, serious but accessible books."/ppAccording to one judge: "Where
Ross lifts his book above the 'expert' and impressive to the 'good read' category is in the way he
wears his learning lightly, never clutches for false or contrived ways of explaining music, and
never dumbs down in order to explain."/ppOne of the members of the Waterstone's reading groups, who
helped in the judging process, said: "Every time I felt overwhelmed by the technicalities, along
came a sublime metaphor or simile that would light up the prose."/ppRoss, who is the music critic
of the New Yorker, has distilled a lifetime's enthusiasm and learning into a rich narrative of
musical history, setting the works of Mahler, Schoenberg, John Cage and the rest into their
cultural and political contexts – but also giving a vivid sense of what the
music he describes actually sounds and feels like./ppOf all the artforms, modern and contemporary
classical music is often seen as the most rebarbative. Ross brushes aside the mythology of
20th-century music's "inaccessibility" as he charts its meandering histories. Along the way,
fascinating connections are made: hip-hop has more in common with Janacek than you might think;
Arnold Schoenberg and George Gershwin were tennis partners; Gershwin, in turn, was an ardent fan of
Alban Berg and kept an autographed photo of the composer of Lulu in his apartment. If there is an
overarching idea to the book, it is perhaps contained in Berg's pronouncement to Gershwin: "Mr
Gershwin, music is music." /ppRoss, 40, was born in Washington DC, and studied English and history
at Harvard. An enthusiastic teenage musician and student broadcaster, he began writing music
criticism after university and in 1996 was appointed music critic of the New Yorker. His blog
– also called a href="http://www.therestisnoise.com/"The Rest Is Noise/a
– has been a trailblazer in harnessing the internet as a way of amplifying
(often literally) his writing on music./ppThe New York Review of Books described The Rest Is Noise
as "by far the liveliest and smartest popular introduction yet written to a century of diverse
music". The Economist noted: "No other critic writing in English can so effectively explain why you
like a piece, or beguile you to reconsider it, or prompt you to hurry online and buy a recording."
/ppNicholas Kenyon, managing director of the Barbican and a former Observer music critic, said: "At
a time when people are still talking about 20th-century music as if it were a problem, here is a
lucid and entertaining book about what I regard as some of the greatest music ever written. It's a
wonderful way to advance the cause of 20th-century music to an ordinary, intelligent general
reader. It's the ideal mix of enthusiasm and information."/ppThis year's judging panel comprised
novelist Roddy Doyle; broadcaster and novelist Francine Stock; poet Daljit Nagra; the historian
David Kynaston; novelist Kate Mosse and Guardian deputy editor, Katharine Viner. Stuart Broom of
Waterstone's also joined the deliberations, speaking as the representative of the readers'
groups./ppThe other books on the shortlist were Mohammed Hanif's A Case of Exploding Mangoes; Ross
Raisin's God's Own Country; Steve Toltz's A Fraction of the Whole (which was also shortlisted for
the Man Booker prize) and Owen Matthews's Stalin's Children. /ppPrevious winners of the prize have
included Stuart: A Life Backwards by Alexander Masters (2005) and Zadie Smith's White Teeth
(2000)./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia
