| G.I. JOE, JUSTICE LEAGUE, WOLVERINE: FEBRUARY 6TH COMIC REEL WRAP
Concept artist Daniel James Cox has a post on his blog about the delays in the production. He wrote, "It's unfortunate, but the Writer's strike has delayed further pre-production on the 'Justice League' movie (i was working on it as a concept artist/illustrator) until later in the year. As a comic fan, i'm happy because the script does need another rewrite. However, the art dept has been doing some amazing artwork, so the team and I will all assemble back at Fox Studios in June/July to pick up where we left off!" Fight choreographer Richard Norton also posted on his website about the same topic. "Well, just received word that 'Justice League of America' movie has been pushed back until July," Norton wrote, "which technically means I am unemployed, again! Hah, what a business I am in." X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE At least one of two women has been chosen to cobble together clothes for the Canucklehead.
Utsavam at the Horniman Museum hits the right notes
Say "Indian music" to most people in Britain and they think of Ravi Shankar and his sitar, the beat of bhangra or Bollywood pop. But there is far, far more to it than that. Its heritage goes back many centuries and its variety befits a country with an unparalleled ethnic and religious mix. On Saturday, the Horniman Museum, in southeast London, opens a nine-month exhibition, Utsavam: Music from India. With more than 300 instruments from all parts of India, it will be the largest-ever such show. Its patron is Nitin Sawhney, our own home-grown Indian music master, and there is support from the London-based band Asian Dub Foundation, whose music has breathed fresh life into the sounds of the subcontinent. To bring the instruments to life, there will be videos and sound recordings collected during five years of field trips undertaken in cooperation with the British Library’s sound archive by the co-curators, Margaret Birley and Rolf Killius.
Gunmen in Guyana Kill 5 Kids, 6 Adults
There were no reports of arrests, and President Bharrat Jagdeo urged neighborhood watch groups to report any leads to police. "(This) could not have been done by human beings but rather by animals," Jagdeo said ahead of meetings with security officials and the military. Police offered a $150,000 reward for information that could lead to Rawlins. Authorities say Rawlins has been the leader of a gang associated with armed robberies since 2002. He is suspected of involvement in the April 2006 slaying of Agriculture Minister Satyadeo Sawh _ a murder that authorities said was aimed at destabilizing this former Dutch and British colony. On Wednesday night, suspected members of Rawlins' gang killed a Guyanese soldier during a gunbattle in Buxton, a village 2 miles from Lusignan.
Valk missing link
OWNERSHIP of a Women's NBL team can have its downside as the Lightning's enigmatic boss Vince Marino found out last year. Marino controversially dumped coach Chris Lucas just two rounds into the season after a slow win over Perth and poor home loss to Dandenong. The status of Marino's daughter Angela, new to the line-up, was immediately in sharp focus, as was the rushed appointment of Vicki Valk as only Adelaide's third WNBL coach. Valk had been an unlucky candidate when Lucas succeeded Opals coach Jan Stirling in 2004-05. Ownership of a WNBL team can have its upside as Marino also has found, his team winning the regular season championship with a sizzling 21-3 record, on a 16-game winning streak and with a home double-chance semi-final at the Distinctive Homes Dome against Sydney on Saturday.

Stalking snuffer: A British tabloid reports that Victoria Beckham has brought in extra bodyguards after a sexy groupie made it to her husband's Toronto hotel room. Laddie Bountiful: Colin Farrell, in town for the film festival, takes a homeless man on a shopping spree and reportedly pays his rent for a year in advance, after finding the guy in his regular spot outside a Yorkville bar. Zero tolerance zone: After a record-shattering 824-minute, nine-game goalless drought, Toronto FC finally scores, but loses anyway.

7 Reasons to Forget Blu-ray
Also, it so far offers fewer than 100 HD titles, the quality doesn't match Blu-ray's, and rentals are available only for 24 hours once they start playing. Apple TV: This $230 box is fast becoming the best of the digital media adapters, which include Microsoft's Xbox 360 and are designed to link the TV to computers and the Internet. The latest Apple TV version can now function without a PC, enabling direct downloads from Apple's iTunes store and access to YouTube videos, among others. The iTunes store has only about 100 high-def titles available—and like Vudu, the quality doesn't match Blu-ray's, and rentals are available for just 24 hours once they start playing. WNBC: Yes, the lowly antenna is more of a competitor than it was two years ago. The late-night shows have all gone high def, as has most prime-time and news programming.
