Today, the New Orleans rebuilding commission will release an official blueprint report recommending a strategy for the revival of the city. Appointed by Mayor C. Ray Nagin, the commission will recommend that residents be allowed to return to the city and rebuild wherever they choose, regardless of how vulnerable or devastated the area. Following a 12-month period, those neighborhoods that have not sustained an undefined “critical mass” of inhabitants will likely be returned to marshland; those residents who have settled in the interim will be required to leave the region, costing the federal government...
...early to render standard DVDs obsolete, but high-definition discs are clearly the future. The only question: Which format will become the industry standard, Blu-ray or HD DVD? Technically, they're pretty similar, so it will ultimately depend on what consumers will buy. Judging from CES's offerings, there is plenty to choose from.

He then lost to another seeded wrestler, Ray Blake of Stanford, in his final match. Freshman Louis Caputo (184 lbs.) also garnered two victories by decision, but could not overcome the third and sixth seeds in the other two bouts. Sophomore Bobby Latessa (149 lbs.) picked up the only major decision by a Harvard wrestler, defeating Eddie Hojilla of UNC-Pembroke...
...having already shipped, but Sony's competing game console may be worth the wait. Due out this spring, the PS3 is supposed to have better graphics and will support up to seven wireless game pads (Xbox 360 allows four). PS3's best advantage: it will play high-definition Blu-ray DVDs. But at an expected retail price of $400 to $500, it won't come cheap.
