Apple’s Final Cut Is Dead. Long Live Final Cut.
Apple substituted one Final Cut video-editing program for another, and the upgraded version covers nearly all the bases.

Professional Video Editors Weigh In on Final Cut Pro X
11:03 p.m. | Updated to correct reference to OMF files.
Professional editors should (1) learn to tell what’s really missing from what’s just been moved around, (2) recognize that there’s no obligation to switch from the old program yet, (3) monitor the progress of FCP X and its ecosystem, and especially (4) be willing to consider that a radical new design may be unfamiliar, but may, in the long term, actually be better. -

When my father was my age, he had been dead for five years. He was sick and knew he was in trouble for two years. I regret I did not push for him to get better help. -

Bulger to Return to Boston to Face Charges
James Bulger, captured after a 16-year manhunt, agreed to go back home to face charges stemming from what authorities said was a career as a violent crime boss.
Better than most other nursing homes. He will have very good lawyering and will be able to again talk to his friends if any are still alive. Nursing homes are very like prisons. The trials will go on forever.
