Iran Minister: Nuclear Talks 'On Track'

Neocons enter newsroom, take over. Truth is published. Newservice vows it will never happen again.

KISMAYO, Somalia (Reuters) - Islamist fighters in the Somali port of Kismayo opened fire on Monday on residents who were burning tires, throwing stones and chanting to protest against the Islamist takeover of the city hours earlier.

A 13-year-old boy was shot dead while protesting, and two other people were injured as violence raged for several hours in Somalia's third biggest city, witnesses said.

VR Gear Makes RC Airplane the Coolest Toy Ever

Thirty three comments so far on this Raw Feed story, about gyro directed camera, mounted on an RC airplane. Gyro in wearable headset/vr monitor, directs camera (with own gyro) view.

Living in your own Private Idaho
Underground like a wild potato.
Don't go on the patio.
Beware of the pool,
blue bottomless pool.
It leads you straight
right throught the gate
that opens on the pool.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.
You're living in your own Private Idaho.

You're livin in your own Private Idaho. Idaho.
You're out of control, the rivers that roll,
you fell into the water and down to Idaho.
Get out of that state,
get out of that state you're in.
You better beware.

You're living in your own Private Idaho.

'All the King's Men' tanks at box office

With a disastrous debut weekend gross of just $3.8 million, the political thriller "All the King's Men" is the season's first movie with Oscar ambitions to open with a resounding thud. The film, a remake of the 1949 classic of the same name, had a production budget of $55 million and the studio spent many millions more on marketing the film.

Man, you got me on that one? I just can't figure it out. I know it wasn't Sean Penn's trip to New Orleans where he single handedly tried to bail out the city all by his lonesome.
