Some color fun can bring loft kitchen out of the '70s
Q. I've just moved into a renovated loft space, which I love. But the kitchen is right out of the '70s. White laminate cabinets have those wood bars along the bottom, and the tile backsplash is kind of speckled beige and white. Can you please suggest a color makeover that I can do myself? A. With an open-plan design, the kitchen is often in full view from the living area, so you will want to take this into consideration when planning your makeover. Color is a powerful decorating tool, and the good news is that both laminate and tile can be painted. This opens up your options greatly, and if you love color, here's your chance to splurge. Proper surface preparation is the key to a professional finish. Laminate and tile have slippery surfaces, and paint will not adhere unless you first clean with a heavy-duty cleanser such as TSP to dull the surface, then sand and apply a high-adhesion paint primer.

Back in September, in an unusual move for Apple, the company tipped its hand by demonstrating many of the features, as well as the availability and pricing, of what was then known as "iTV." But the show left us with as many questions as answers, and we wondered whether the little box would live up to the expectations of Apple fans and pundits who have long been clamoring for a "home iPod." With the official unveiling at Macworld today, we now have some of these answers--though we won't know for sure how the device, now dubbed Apple TV, stacks up to current network media devices until we've had a chance to test it.
Apple TV is a network media box that streams movies, music, TV shows, podcasts, and photos from the iTunes library on your PC or Mac to your HDTV. The box, which looks like a squashed Mac Mini and measures 7.7 by 7.7 by 1.1 inches (including an integrated power supply), connects to your TV via either HDMI or component video and audio, and wirelessly syncs content from your iTunes library so that you can enjoy it in the living room using the included remote.
Baghdad bombs kill 105
Bombers killed 70 people, many of them young women students, at a Baghdad university on Tuesday, one of the city's bloodiest days in weeks.
In all, at least 105 were killed in bombings and a shooting in the capital on a day when the United Nations said more than 34,000 Iraqi civilians died in violence last year. Four U.S. soldiers were killed in a bomb attack in northern Iraq.
The Shi'ite prime minister blamed the latest bloodshed in Baghdad on followers of Saddam Hussein. His fellow Sunni Arabs are angry at the botched execution of two aides on Monday, two weeks after the ousted leader was himself hanged to sectarian taunts from official observers, captured on an illicit video.
A car bomb tore through students gathered outside the Mustansiriya University in central Baghdad, most of them women waiting for vehicles to take them home.
