Virgin Airlines uses biofuel The Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 flight was part of a joint initiative with planemaker Boeing and engine manufacturer GE Aviation to develop a "sustainable aircraft fuel." No passengers were onboard. Virgin Atlantic President Richard Branson said the test flight would help the airline to use clean fuel sooner than expected. "The demonstration flight will give us crucial knowledge that we can use to dramatically reduce our carbon footprint," Branson said in a statement. "Virgin Group pledged to invest all its profits from its transportation companies towards developing clean energy and with this breakthrough we are well down the path to achieving our goals." Virgin said the fuel to be used for Sunday's flight -- a 20 percent biofuel mix of coconut and babassu oil in one of the plane's four main fuel tanks -- was of a type that wouldn't compete with food and fresh water resources amid mounting concerns among green campaigners about the environmental impact of biofuels. Some studies suggest that converting land for crops such as palm oil used for biofuel can generate far more in carbon emissions than the savings delivered by the fuel. Increased use of biofuels could also prompt food shortages, campaigners warn, as greater areas of farmland are turned over to biofuel production. Kenneth Richter, Friends of the Earth aviation campaigner, said: "Biofuels are a major distraction in the fight against climate change. There is mounting evidence that the carbon savings from biofuels are negligible. "If Virgin was really serious about reducing the aviation industry's impact on the environment it would support calls for aircraft emissions to be included in the (UK government's) Climate Change Bill."

2008 04-01 MediaBytes: Google - Virgle - Rick Astley - Gmail GOOGLE is using April 1st to roll out a number of exciting new initiatives. The company has unveiled a joint venture with Virgin called Virgle, the first human settlement on Mars. Users can sign up online to be a Virgle pioneer. Gmail users received a useful Custom Time upgrade today, allowing them to send email yesterday. And, lastly, all Featured Videos on YouTube.com now redirect users to Rick Astley's hit song "Never Gonna Give You Up," complete with 80's dance moves and a stylish trench coat. Enjoy. COMCAST is facing an increasing online backlash for re-compressing HD channels so that it can increase its channel offerings. Users began noticing degraded HD quality and posted screenshots in forums comparing the Comcast images with Verizon's FiOS HD images. Comcast's HD showed increased pixillation and distortion. A company spokesperson confirmed the practice, saying "Compression is a reality." Perhaps, but this is certainly a poor time for a cable company to offer lower video quality than a telco TV service. SONY has launched C-Spot, a new online comedy channel. C-Spot features short-form comedies, including "Hot Hot Los Angeles" and "The Roadents," an animated show about traveling guinea pigs. Actor Kevin Pollack will be featured in a C-Spot series called The Writer's Room, a look behind the scenes of a sitcom. New episodes will be posted on a daily schedule and distributed trough AOL Video, Hulu, YouTube, Crackle and more. NICKELODEON is seeing increased online traffic due to iCarly, a network show that incorporates user-generated material. The show now accounts for a staggering 20% of all visitors to Nick.com. iCarly urges viewers to visit Nick.com to upload their own videos, offering them the chance to be seen on TV. This clearly works. NIELSEN reports that Internet ad spending jumped 18.9% in 2007, while all ad spending combined only increased .6%. National cable ads were up 2.2% but network TV fell 1.5%.

TV host Nancy O'Dell welcomes baby girl Hello on this Tuesday, June 12, 2007. I'm Rebecca Field with a UPI entertainment update. TV host Nancy O'Dell is now a proud mother of a new baby girl. People magazine reports the "Access Hollywood" host and husband Keith Zubchevich welcomed Ashby Grace on Monday. The couple married in 2005 after reportedly meeting at an airport the year before. O'Dell says they are "beyond elated" with their new addition. The rock band Nickelback is making their mark on a famous Canadian sidewalk. The rockers and six other Canadian musicians were inducted into the walk of fame in Toranto over the weekend. They're also expected to attend Canada's MuchMusic Video Awards on Sunday where they're nominated in five categories. The band's frontman Chad Kroeger says he feels lucky to be playing music for a living. Celebrity couple Dermot Mulroney and Catherine Keener are calling it quits. People magazine reports Mulroney filed for divorce last week citing irreconcilable differences. They have a 7 year old son and according to divorce papers, the actor is seeking joint custody. Keener is known for her recent roles in "Capote" and "40 year old Virgin." Mulroney appeared in "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "Georgia Rule." Singer Joss Stone is set to headline one of the Live Earth concerts this summer. She'll reportedly perform at the show in South Africa along with several other performers. The event, which aims to raise awareness about the climate crisis, will take place in several different venues around the world on July 7th. Artists at the other concerts include Madonna, the Police and Dave Matthews band. One new reality show is causing tension in Texas. The upcoming FOX show "Anchorwoman" is about a model who attempts to become a local news anchor. An entertainment magazine says Lauren Jones, who has no journalism experience, is spending 30 days reporting for an affiliate station in Tyler Texas. But some people in the town are reportedly unhappy with the show idea. One resident says he's disappointed about the lack of the local station's news integrity. There's no word on when the new show will air. That's all for now, go to upi.com for all the day's news and updates. Thanks for watching.

A Day in the Life May 28, 2006 It was a humid memorial day weekend. The air was heavy with the promise of the summer to come. A summer of love, a summer of loss, a summer of defilement. Our mutual friend and housemate, Christopher Reid, left the previous Friday for his annual orgy up in the Adirondack mountains. As usual, he trashed the apartment before leaving, then left us a phone message asking us in his usual shrew-like squeak to clean up after him. We did. We're good friends like that. Then we showed Chris what good friends we really were and took his pillow out with us for an afternoon and evening out on the town... ...and then we put it back on his bed, and let this video tell him what we did to it...six weeks later. Oh, the horror, the horror.

GIORGIO @ LOURDES 2008 ¤ AVE MARIA Lourdes (Occitan: Lorda) is a town and commune situated in the southwest of the Hautes-Pyrénées department, lying in the first Pyrenean foothills, in southwestern France. Lourdes was originally a small market town lying in the foothills of the Pyrenees. At that time the most prominent feature was the fortified castle which rises up from the centre of the town on a rocky escarpment. Following the claims that there were apparitions of Our Lady of Lourdes to Bernadette Soubirous in 1858, Lourdes has developed into a major place of Christian pilgrimage. 2008 is the 150th Jubilee of the apparitions, and larger crowds than usual are expected to visit. Today Lourdes has a population of around 15,000 inhabitants but is able to take in some 5,000,000 pilgrims and tourists every season. Lourdes has the second greatest number of hotels in France after Paris with about 270 establishments. It is the joint seat of the diocese of Tarbes-et-Lourdes. Yearly from March to October the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes or the Domain (as it is most commonly known) is a place of mass pilgrimage from Europe and other parts of the world. The spring water from the grotto is believed by some to possess healing properties, however there have been from the beginning skeptics of the miracles reported to have taken place in Lourdes. A common misconception is that miracles are the core of the Sanctuary of Lourdes, and the reasons for visits. Although this is probably the case for some visitors, the majority of pilgrims come as part of their Christian faith, and to help those in need. An estimated 200 million people have visited the shrine since 1860 [3], and the Roman Catholic Church has officially recognized 67 miracle healings[3]. Especially impressive are candlelight and sacrament processions. Tours from all over the world are organized to visit the Sanctuary. Connected with this pilgrimage is often the consumption of or bathing in the Lourdes water which wells out of the Grotto. At the time of the apparitions the grotto was on common land which was used by the villagers variously for pasturing animals, collecting firewood and as a garbage dump, and it possessed a reputation for being an unpleasant place.[4] [edit] Hospitalité Notre-Dame de Lourdes Main article: Hospitalité Notre Dame de Lourdes During one of the Virgin Mary's apparitions to St Bernadette in 1858, she asked that people come in procession to the Grotto. In the early days care for sick pilgrims was provided by local nuns and charitable workers. As numbers of visitors grew, especially those from the rest of France, local facilities rapidly became swamped, and large groups such as the Hospitalité de Notre-Dame de Salut were set up, consisting of lay men and women whose objective was charitable aid to the sick pilgrims of Lourdes. The Hospitalité Notre-Dame de Lourdes splintered from the former group in 1885.[5]. Ever since there has been a "ministry of welcome" in Lourdes, receiving and caring for all the pilgrims who come to the apparition site, especially the sick and infirm. The HNDL is active in Lourdes during the main pilgrimage season (which normally lasts from Easter until November), and it also provides people to welcome pilgrims at the Piscines (Baths) during the winter. Pilgrimage groups are associated with many different organisations and charities. Many are from a specific region (for example British pilgrims generally travel with their own diocese or archdiocese), while others are based around a specific type of pilgrim. An example of this is the UK's Handicapped Children's Pilgrimage Trust (HCPT). HCPT takes disabled children and their carers on pilgrimage to Lourdes. HCPT groups are numbered, e.g. group 83 which leaves from Coventry. The five-domed St. Mary's Ukrainian Catholic Church in Lourdes was designed by Myroslav Nimciv, while its interior polychrome decorations were by famed artist Jerzy Nowosielski. The church is about a 10-minute walk from the basilica and the grotto, on a street named in honor of Ukraine, situated on a narrow piece of property close to the railroad station. Visible from the basilica, the height of the building makes up for its breadth[6]. The Ukrainian Catholic church is located on 8 Rue de l'Ukraine, 65100 Lourdes, France Tags: LOURDES SANCTUAIRE AVE MARIA PROCESSION VIERGE MARIE GIORGIO VISITE FRANCE TOURISME PYRE MèrE CHORALE PEUPLE CATHOLIQUE |

Jeudi Noir 1% logement j'ai passé quelques heures aujourd'hui avec Jeudi Noir, qui a organisé une action pour dénoncer la mauvaise gestion du 1% logement, taxe censée financer la construction de logement. Récit d'une après-midi mouvementée 14h30 La pluie vient de se clamer. Des policiers rodent devant le Virgin Mégastore Grands-Boulevards. Ils interrogent quelques personnes qui semblent avoir rendez-vous là et contrôlent leurs papiers. 15h Une petite dizaine de personnes se regroupe devant le magasin de disques, sans un mot. Quelques sourires discrets s'échangent sous les yeux méfiants des policiers. 15h10 Deux personnes s'avancent, tout le monde se tourne vers eux. Ils portent des tee-shirts estampillés « Jeudi Noir ». C'est eux qu'on attend. Ils font signe de venir et le groupe rejoint le reste des militants quelques mètres plus loin. Quelques journalistes de Télé-Bocal sont là, ainsi que quelques blogueurs. Deux enfants en bas âge brandissent des gourdins en plastique. Un jeune homme parle dans un mégaphone, dénonçant non sans humour les importants frais de gestion pour le moins opaques du 1% logement. 15h30 Le groupe s'est scindé en deux. Je suis l'un d'entre eux dans une bouche de métro. Direction : Billancourt. Quelques RG peu discrets se joignent à nous. 15h45 Nous sortons subrepticement du métro à la station Iéna. Objectif : investir les locaux d'Alliance 1%, un des organismes chargés de la gestion de cette taxe, obtenir un rendez-vous avec le directeur et une copie du rapport de la cour des comptes qui dénonce les frais de gestions colossaux du dispositif. Justement, le loyer de l'immeuble d'Alliance 1% avoisine les 100 000 euros mensuels. Des locaux de grand standing, donc, à la mesure de la petite fête que Jeudi Noir va y organisé. 15H50 Nous sommes rentrés. Un ampli crache de la musique funk, le champagne coule à flot et les employés ahuris se retrouvent couverts de confettis et de billets de monopoly. 16h30 Un RG, qui s'est joint à la fête, a obtenu de la présidente qu'elle reçoive une délégation de 3 membres du collectif sous réserve que nous quittions les lieux. La fête continue quelques minutes devant le bâtiment avant que le gros des troupes ne rejoigne la fête à l'Hôtel de Ville pour célébrer la libération d'Ingrid Betancourt.
