Shakira and South African band Freshlyground’s song “Time for Africa,” has been selected as the official World Cup anthem.

The track — which will provide the soundtrack to soccer’s Super Bowl — will be released to radio stations across the world next week and will be available for download beginning April 26. The Colombian pop queen and the Capetown band will perform the song at the World Cup kickoff concert in Soweto on June 10, at the tournament’s opening ceremony, and during the July 11 finals.

Muchisimas cosas nos ha dejado la primera sesión de entrenamientos libres del GP de China 2010. Para empezar, saltaban todas las alarmas en Ferrari cuando Fernando Alonso rompía el motor de su monoplaza. Motor que supuestamente y según los mecánicos, estaba en perfectas condiciones.

Tras esto, la escudería italiana se queda con sólo seis motores para lo que queda de temporada. En caso de quedarse sin motores y necesitar usar otro, serían sancionados con la perdida de varios puestos en las sesiones de clasificación de cada carrera.

Pero las cosas no terminan aquí, el piloto suizo de Toro Rosso, Sebastien Buemi, ha sufrido un accidente increible cuando la suspensión delantera del monoplaza ha explotado literalmente y se ha quedado sin ruedas delanteras, mejor que lo veias en el siguiente vídeo ya que una imagen vale más que mil palabras como se suele decir:

Here we finally get to hear the Ferrari 599 GTO video in English. You wouldn’t normally expect this kind of marketing blunder from a brand like Ferrari but I guess if you’ve already sold all of the 599 GTO models planned for production before sales/production actually starts, you can probably do as you please. Check out the pics of the 599 GTO official presentation at Modena’s Ducal Palace Military Academy, too. It looks like it was quite the event for anybody who was somebody enough to be able to attend.

Well isn’t that cute? Pictures of the world’s second smallest Android handset, the Huawei Joy (aka Vodaphone 845), have turned up on the Internets. (What’s the smallest, you ask?) With a 2.8-inch screen and a 3.2 MP camera, the specs aren’t anything to write home about, but it does cover all the bases and it is an adorable little gadget, isn’t it? Three more pictures after the break. [Unwired View]

Ask yourself: What could possibly be better than your very own real-life Batman-inspired leather motorcycle suit? Well now, that would have to depend on your particular comic book leanings, wouldn’t it? If your affections lie away from DC and more towards Marvel, we have some particularly excellent news to share. Soon, you’ll be able to pick up a functional motorcycle riding suit made up to look like either Wolverine or Iron Man. Oh, and a Tron Legacy suit is also reportedly in the works.

If your desire is to dress yourself up as the adamantium-soaked Wolverine, you can head right on over to Universal Designs to order your brand-new officially licensed riding suit, based on the actual movie suit used in the X2: X-Men United. Sadly, go-go-gadget knuckle-mounted claws not included.

If you can’t quite pull off Wolverine’s dual-horned head of hair, no worries. UD reassures us that it’s hard at work on a licensed replica of Tony Stark’s Mark V Suitcase Suit that will be seen in Marvel’s upcoming Iron Man 2, which will be released in the U.S. on May 7.

In case you were wondering, there’s actual safety built into these riding suits as well. According to UD, each suit “incorporates removable CE-approved body armor [and] gloves with built-in anti-skid Kevlar in the palm’s leather lining.” Finally, if you don’t quite have a personal physique that matches your Comic hero of choice, you’ll find solace in the news that there’s “an interior, form-molded muscle suit sandwiched into the jacket’s torso section.” Hit the jump for the press release, and click on the image to enlarge.

Como o mercado automotivo nunca para, e novas parcerias e fusões sempre acontecem entre as companhias, dessa vez quem está se preparando para tentar liderar o mercado mundial é a Volkswagen, que confirmou a venda de 3,2% de suas ações, que totalizam € 4,1 bilhões, para o processo final de absorção da Porsche AG.

Essa oferta de ações marca recorde na Alemanha e vai favorecer o grupo VW, na garantia de aquisição de novas empresas, mantendo um capital em caixa alto para algum prossível problema nas negociações com outras companhias menores.

A intenção da companhia alemã é chegar à liderança do mercado mundial até o final desta década, superanto até mesmo a Toyota e a General Motors, que são os atuais primeiro e segundo colocados no ranking. A Volks e seu grupo (Audi, Bentley, Lamborghini, Skoda, Seat, Scania, Bugatti e Volkswagen) estão na terceira posição. Quem vai vencer essa briga de gigantes?

The Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development report that housing starts climbed more than expected in March. Builders applied for 685,000 permits (60,000 more than expected, up from 637,000 in February) and filed 626,000 housing starts (16,000 more than expected, up from 616,000 in February).

On one hand, this is good news. It signals that homebuilders believe that supply and demand have stabilized, that housing prices might turn up and that the economic outlook is sunny. On the other hand, at least two of those presumptions are questionable. Foreclosures are increasing, not decreasing; and some economists estimate that home values have another 10 to 20 percent to fall.

That said, we’re missing a crucial piece of information in the release — as always in real estate, “location, location, location.” The Census release breaks starts and permit applications out by region, but not by state. And the housing bust continues to be heavily concentrated in a few states — California, Florida, Arizona and Nevada being the worst-hit. I think we’ll continue to see state stratification in the housing market, with the real estate market returning to normalcy in most regions, but those states continuing to struggle with oversupply, poor general economic growth, and falling prices.

Bret Michaels — who was released from a San Antonio hospital on Wednesday after undergoing an emergency appendectomy this week — is recovering from the surgery in a private facility for diabetics.

Michaels had been scheduled to perform in The Lone Star State on Sunday night when he began experiencing severe stomach pains and was rushed to the Christus Santa Rosa Hospital-Westover Hills, where he was taken into surgery. The Poison rocker has battled diabetes for close to two decades and doctors want to be sure the potentially fatal condition remains under control while Bret bounces back from the procedure on his appendix.

“While the surgery went well and doctors are optimistic that the rocker will make a full recovery, the fact that he was exhausted due to his rigorous schedule prior to the surgery and coupled with the fact that he has diabetes, the surgery has taken its toll,” read a message uploaded to Bret’s Official Website on Thursday.

Michaels, who appears on the latest season of NBC’s The Celebrity Apprentice, is also in the middle of a North American tour. “It is unclear at this time exactly how many of Michaels tour dates will have to be moved,” his rep says.

Best wishes to Bret!

You expect to see professors at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, inside classrooms sharing their knowledge with students. But away from the public eye, hundreds of faculty members are conducting research, growing the knowledge in their field and penning books about their findings to share with the world.

“They are creative, tenacious, diligent,” said Molly Royse, head of Research Collections at UT Libraries, of the faculty book authors. “They are often thinking outside of the box, trying to come up with new approaches to things.”

One of these professors is Devon Burr in the earth and planetary sciences department. Her book “Megaflooding on Earth and Mars,” published by Cambridge University Press, shares her findings about flooding on Earth and on Mars.

“This book is a synthesis of flood science from a variety of perspectives. It was exciting to have them approach me,” Burr said.

Burr’s research shows that Mars, now a cold, dry desert, wasn’t always that way. Burr points to evidence that Mars once had rivers and large bodies of water and, consequently, possibly even life.

“The thought is that Mars was warm and wet early on, around the time that earth was seeing the rise of life, and that maybe life was emerging on Mars,” Burr explained.

At UT Knoxville, Burr does not have to choose between teaching and conducting research. The university allows her to do both.

“I really love both of those aspects of being a professor at UT. I love the teaching and I love the research,” Burr said. “It is what I love to do, to find out new things in science, and UT supports me and my research in a number of ways, one of which is allowing me to go back every summer to use planetary wind tunnels at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California where I go to do wind tunnel experiments.”

Burr’s research allows her to expand her knowledge. And the more she knows, the more she can teach to her students.

“If we help them with the research, we know that will translate down to the classroom and they will have a good educational experience,” Royse said.

Burr is one of about 90 faculty members who have published books in the just the past year. These books span all disciplines from veterinarian practices to advanced physics.

The authors and their hard work were celebrated at a reception inside John C. Hodges Library on April 8.

“The publishing of a book can represent months, if not years, of dedication and hard work, and it is important they be recognized for that,” Royse said.

As the university continues on its path to being a top 25 institution, it is UT Knoxville’s goal to have more faculty like these, doing research and sharing their findings with their students and the world.

“We are better professionals because of the research we are engaged in,” Royse said. “And the publishing ventures we are engaged in make us better professionals. So our students and our public benefit from that.”

[JURIST] An independent UN commission has blamed the Pakistani government and police forces for the 2007 assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto in its investigatory report released Thursday. According to the report, the Pakistani federal government “lacked a comprehensive security plan” and failed to provide adequate security for Bhutto by relying on local officials without giving them “necessary instructions.” In the report, the commission accused the government of failing to launch a proper investigation into those responsible for the attack. The report also accused the government of hindering their investigation and called their various failures “deliberate”:
A range of Government officials failed profoundly in their efforts first to protect Ms. Bhutto and second to investigate with vigour all those responsible for her murder, not only in the execution of the attack, but also in its conception, planning and financing. … The Commission believes that the failures of the police and other officials to react effectively to Ms. Bhutto’s assassination were, in most cases, deliberate.The commission ultimately concluded that Bhutto’s assassination could have been prevented, if not for governmental ignorance. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon praised the commission’s work and left the responsibility for any criminal investigation with Pakistani authorities. The three-member commission was formed in June. Members included Chilean Ambassador to the UN Heraldo Munoz, former attorney general of Indonesia Marzuki Darusman, and Peter Fitzgerald, a former deputy police commissioner in the Irish National Police who has served with the UN in other capacities. Bhutto was killed in a suicide attack in December 2007 that claimed the lives of at least 20 other people. At that time, Bhutto was the head of the opposition Pakistan People’s Party, which was challenging then-prime minister Pervez Musharraf’s Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) in the lead-up to parliamentary elections.

Web metrics firm Net Applications has been tracking the iPad since its launch, and after 10 days the trend is clear.

The iPad will soon account for one twentieth of one percent of the overall OS market. If that sounds infinitesimal, it is, and yet according to Net Applications the iPad now roughly equals the BlackBerry in market share.

However, it’s important to remember that Net Applications data is drawn from some 160 million visitors per month to a worldwide network of sites, rather than counting unit sales. That means it’s not market share so much as web share, which explains how the iPad caught the BlackBerry so quickly. Despite having sold tens of millions of more units, browsing the web on a BlackBerry is painful experience, while the iPad makes it sublime. Nonetheless, since the future is browsing the web on mobile devices, web share numbers today could very well be the market share of tomorrow.

For analysts and bloggers pondering what, exactly, the iPad is for, the above chart pretty much answers the question. It’s a new way to browse the web. With only 500,000 units sold, the iPad is already showing up against its rival siblings the iPod touch and iPhone, which have sold some 35 million and 50 million units respectively. Keep in mind too that both handheld devices are available worldwide, while the iPad will not see international release until May. Since Net Applications uses a worldwide network of web sites to determine market share, it’s quite possible that by the end of June the iPad may surpass the iPod touch in share.

Looking at estimated mobile device numbers for April, which tend to change very little from month to month, the iPad is indeed on par with the BlackBerry, and quickly closing on Android and moribund Windows Mobile. While that’s impressive for a new device sold only in the U.S., the combined iPhone OS share of the market is even more so. It will be around 37 percent, meaning by June at the latest expect iPhone OS to surpass the ubiquitous Java ME as the most used mobile OS, at least according to Net Applications.

Looking past the numbers, for those who purchased an iPad it appears your investment is safe. Just weeks after launch, the iPad is already solidifying its position as viable platform. For those who don’t own an iPad, expect Google and Microsoft to be scrambling to get a viable competitor in the marketplace as soon as possible. It looks like the tablet is here to stay at last.

Amazing. As Ashraf Laidi points out, the euro has now given up the entire spike it saw last weekend after the “bailout.”

Note the huge gap up on April 12. That’s when he Euro/IMF details were announces, but as the week went on, Greek spreads blew out again, and investors began to fret that the mechanism for backing up Greece wasn’t so hard and clear.
