...cardiovascular weapon of choice is the elliptical machine, but Apple says their system was built for runners. When tracked by Nike + iPod, the movements of the elliptical appear slow, and the stride appears short (because the machine's up-and-down motion is not taken into account, nor is its tension). Distance is measured about right, but the calorie count is way off. Since the product was announced, people have wondered what sorts of athletics they can use it for. For the time being, it's all about running...
...dangers on that route show no signs of abating. Despite facing the most powerful military offensive unleashed on Lebanon since Israel's 1982 invasion, Hizballah's fighters appear to have some fight left. Tuesday night witnessed Hizballah's most intense rocket barrage yet, with an estimated 150 missiles striking targets in Israel.

Occasionally one or two people are seen, sitting in plastic chairs on the side of the road, chatting and smoking cigarettes. The shops, however are all closed. And high above is the incessant, threatening rumble of Israeli jets and the irritating whine of reconnaissance drones...
...work with him say he has yet to master military terminology and seems almost giddily impressed with the IDF's ultramodern technological surveillance mechanisms. Some have questioned whether he directs the generals or they direct him. But his working relationships, both with the generals and with Prime Minister Olmert, appear to be good. And Peretz has matched tough rhetoric - "We expected Hizballah to break the rules, and now we intend to break them," he told reporters last week - with a willingness to fire back at critics. "Hizballah's growing strength did not begin when Amir Peretz showed up," he told...
