| THQ oils up Big Beach Sports
THQ has made a major push onto Nintendo's hot-commodity console the Wii in recent weeks. Two Thursdays ago, the publisher debuted its combative music rhythm game Band Mashups, where players arm themselves with sniper violins and flame-throwing guitars to best their opponents and change up the music style. Last Thursday, THQ continued to attack the underbelly of the Wii with the creepy-crawler action game Deadly Creatures. Today, THQ said it would be adding yet another title exclusively to the Wii's library with Big Beach Sports. Slated for a global release in summer 2008, Big Beach Sports plans to bring fun in the sun indoors with a variety of sand-friendly physical minigames. Aiming squarely at the casual Wii-gaming crowd, Big Beach Sports will include football, volleyball, soccer, cricket, disc golf, and bocce.
Surveillance System Raises Privacy Concerns
The security surveillance system, dubbed RealEyes, could help agents identify and track down a suspect, help police find a lost child or guide firefighters to disaster victims, according to Homeland Security spokeswoman Amy Kudwa. It could be a "very valuable" tool in the government's security and emergency-response efforts, she says. .
15 things to do with leftover turkey
Taste the sauce. If it's too tart, add more broth.Remove from the heat, and whisk in the heavy cream and salt. Let cool slightly before making the enchiladas.
3. Fill a large skillet with enough oil to submerge a tortilla.Warm the oil over medium heat until a drop of water sizzles immediately. Fry each tortilla briefly in the oil, about 10 seconds per side. The tortilla should stay soft; if it starts to harden, it has been in the oil too long. Drain on paper towels.
4. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. With a pastry brush, spread a thin layer of sauce on both sides of each tortilla. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of shredded turkey in each tortilla, and roll loosely.
5. Set the enchiladas side-by-side in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, pour the remaining sauce over them, top with cheeses and bake until bubbling, 15 to 20 minutes.
Xstrata profit up 13%, still in Vale talks
He said a merger with Anglo American Plc would be positive for both parties, but did not hold out hope the two would end up together if the Vale deal fell through. "There's no doubt that a combination of Anglo and Xstrata would give rise to a lot of synergies ... but things have to be in the universe of the possible," Mr. Davis said. Vale said on Friday it had reached its limits in takeover talks, and that any deal would depend on the resolution of a dispute over marketing rights held by Swiss commodities trader Glencore, which holds a 35 per cent stake in Xstrata. Since the financial results were largely in line with forecasts, many analysts focused on the takeover situation. "I am optimistic. I think that there will be a deal done because both parties will in the end be sensible ...

Little touches to make a big difference for moms in need
Here's what moms say has been most appreciated. A sympathetic ear "The best emotional support I received was from friends who really let me talk about how I was feeling," says Cathy O'Shaughnessy, a Glenview, Illinois, mom whose son Kyle, 8, was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes when he was 2. "No matter how sad or angry I was on any given day, they didn't act uncomfortable or judgmental. Talking to them helped me reach a point of acceptance about Kyle's illness, which in turn helped me get proactive about his care." Just listening to a friend is especially important when the crisis affects more than one parent, and each one is trying to be strong for the other. To be a good listener: .

American Idol Buzz
I think if you go country you'd make more of a statement. I'm not sure you did with that song." B-plus Amanda Overmyer ("Carry On My Wayward Son" Kansas) She's a bookworm! Go education! She has such a gritty voice, it sounds like she has been smoking for 30 years. As we suspected, when she goes soft, she sounds really rough. Missed notes all over the place. She doesn't even look all that comfortable. Randy: "It wasn't the right song choice. Way too much melody. Too many instrumental breaks." Paula: "You got some moves. You can dance! You got to do what fits right and not worry about anything else." Simon: "I thought in your film, you came over as very natural, very cool. Nothing felt real. I couldn't wait for it to finish." C Alaina Whitaker ("Hopelessly Devoted To You" Olivia Newton John) She has an OCD issue of ensuring her food doesn't touch each other on the plate.
iMovie versus Final Cut Express
When I learned that I'd be part of the Macworld Video production team, I was both excited and more than a bit apprehensive. I was excited because I enjoy working in video, though it never seems I have enough time to do so, and nervous because Apple had recently (with the introduction of iLife '08) basically killed off my video production tool of choice: iMovie HD. iLife '08 includes a program named iMovie '08, but it's related to its predecessor in name only—iMovie '08 is a completely new program. While iMovie '08 added a number of interesting features beyond those offered in iMovie HD, it also removed quite a few, and more importantly to me, created a completely new paradigm for video editing. In a typical video-editing app, such as iMovie HD, you have a spot to store your video clips, and a timeline on which to place them.
