The Committee sanctions Obama’s plea in Obama’s word was “Now is the time for all of us to take our share of responsibility for a global response to global challenges.” Thorbjoern Jagland, chairman of the Nobel Committee told that “Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world’s attention and given its people hope for a better future,” Obama has been a main person for important proposals in the U.N. for nuclear disarmament. On December 10, the prize worth 10 million Swedish crowns ($1.4 million) will be given in Oslo.

Ford’s Mulally to headline CES 2010

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

mulally-ballmer_270x165
Ford Chairman and CEO Alan Mulally will be the featured speaker on the opening day of the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show, the Consumer Electronics Association announced Monday.
His keynote address will open the show the morning of Thursday, January 7. Although it's not Mulally's first time at the Las Vegas event--he also spoke last year--it will be his debut as the main keynote speaker. Recent opening keynotes have been given by Sony's Sir Howard Stringer and Comcast's Brian Roberts.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer will speak the night before, as he did last year, taking over the slot traditionally given to Bill Gates.
Although he's not a technology executive, per se, Ford has made it a point to come to CES with lots of gadgets in the past. This year looks to be no different, as Mulally is scheduled talk up in-car tech like GPS navigation, location-based services, and video, according to the CEA.
Corrected on 9/22/09: This post initially had the day of the week on which Mulally will be speaking wrong. January 7 falls on a Thursday, not Friday.

lucky pair rules Tamil cinema – Harris and Vikram

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Actor Vikram and music director Harris Jayaraj are known as Tamil cinema's lucky pair. This summer, their fifth film together will be on the silver screen.

Music director Harris Jayaraj is composing an item number for the forthcoming big-budget Tamil movie Bheemaa.

The song to be picturised on Vikram and to be shot in Tuticorin has been sung by Kailash Kher.

This, Harris says, will be the only hat ke number in the album, that otherwise has all melody tracks.

"It is a mix of all genres. Bheemaa has space for lot of melody with peppy numbers," says Harris.

This will be the fifth Vikram starrer that Harris Jayaraj is composing for. The actor and composer seem to be lucky for each other Saamy and Anniyan for example have been huge hits.

"Harris is usually very modern like Rahman, very yuppy. But here in this movie, director Lingusamy is from Kumbakonam and not too much into class so here there is a nice mix of folk tunes with melody," said Vikram.

Harris who has worked with A R Rahman, now has many offers from Mumbai.

Though it comes as a surprise that Harris has not been approached for scoring the music for the Hindi remake of Ghazini starring Aamir Khan. Ghazini's music was the biggest hit of 2005.
