Mobiles hope to be 'smart wallet'

Your mobile could be your ticket to concerts

Mobile phone are closer to becoming smart wallets, following agreement among mobile operators on an approach to near field communications (NFC).

NFC is a short-range wireless technology like RFID tags, which are used to track stock by retailers.

The tags inside phones could have personal information stored in them and so could act as car keys, money, tickets and travel cards.

Mobile firms representing 40% of the global mobile market back NFC.

Alex Sinclair, chief technology officer of the GSM Association, which represents the mobile industry, said: "Interoperability and standardisation are the fundamental requirements for mobile market success.

"NFC opens up a wide range of possibilities and we are committed to ensuring the mobile industry works together to realise its potential."

Two elements

There are two elements to NFC technology, which is sometimes called "contactless" applications - a tag, which is inside the phone and can store data and transmit it wirelessly, and a reader, which can access the information stored on tags.

A mobile equipped with NFC technology could, for example, buy a concert ticket over the phone which would then hold those details, together with the details of the phone user, on the tag inside the handset.

An RFID device at the concert would then "read" the concert ticket details on the tag when the phone is passed close to it.

NFC technology could also be used to exchange data between phones, such as photos and music.

Mobile phones are seen as powerful tools for NFC technology because they are able to download new pieces of information - from topping up a travel card, to new songs, ticket information and electronic keycard data etc.

No timescale for the development of NFC technology has been given. Fourteen mobile network operators are working together to develop NFC applications.

They are Bouygues Telecom, China Mobile, Cingular Wireless, KPN, Mobilkom Austria, Orange, SFR, SK Telecom, Telefonica Móviles España, Telenor, TeliaSonera, TIM, Vodafone and 3.

The 14 firms are part of the GSM Association, which represents major mobile operators around the world.

* The number of people in the UK using their mobiles to access the internet is growing, the Mobile data association has reproted.

A total of 40.7m users were recorded as having used their phones for downloads and browsing the mobile internet in the UK during the third quarter of 2006.

The total number of users recorded in July was 13m, which had increased to 14m by September.

Losers and gainers... from YOUNGBLOOD of INQ7.net

I HATE being pitied. Pity is only for losers.

I also hate being asked about my father, because the moment I tell people that I've lost him, I always see them feeling sorry for my misfortune, as if life without him has made me less of a person.

My family lost my father not because he's peacefully resting six feet underground or because he's working in some distant land teeming with dollars or dinars, or snow or sand. We lost him because we had to let him go: he couldn't be a father to two (or more) families. And from the time he left us, our lives have never been the same.

One basic lesson I learned from my values-education classes is that a father is the "sandigan" [pillar] while the mother is destined to serve as "ilaw" [light] of the family. In the absence of the pillar, a family's foundation is bound to collapse. I've witnessed many times when we almost keeled over, but still managed to survive by hanging on to the hope that the worst would quickly pass so long as we continued to help each other. In the absence of our father, my mother had to be the mother and the father, caretaker and a provider to her four daughters and two sons. Right after finishing college, my eldest sister had no choice but to suffer the dreadful curse of getting into the shoes of the original provider.

As early as my grade school years, I accepted our situation because I knew that I was not the only fatherless child in the world. I never shed tears over my father's absence since I had never been emotionally attached to him, which is hardly surprising since he only came home on Sundays and he never spent a few minutes talking to his children or asking how school was or if we had problems or if we wanted something and so on and so forth. For me, he was a complete stranger, like the old man knocking at our gate begging for a cup of water or the bill collectors handing out water or electric bills.

I do not exaggerate when I say that I knew my pet dog better than my father. The only thing I knew was that I was his own flesh and blood and that he is half-Chinese -- that's all. So when he left, I bravely told myself that losing him was no big deal, but eventually I was proven wrong.

All six of us children felt deprived of the tangibles and the intangibles other kids enjoyed. Like any other child, we pined for new toys and clothes, chocolates and candies, school stuff, etc. Like other children caught in our situation, we also searched for a father figure who would compensate for our loss. This yearning inevitably affected every aspect of our lives and we often found ourselves asking God why this had to happen to us?

My father couldn't be with us during our ups and downs. He did not see, much less appreciate how my mother strived to do various jobs, including the oddest ones which she would never have touched during her maiden years, just so we could continue with our studies. He didn't witness how his daughters willed themselves to earn their college diplomas so that they would not be dependent on their husbands when they got married.

Had he been around, he would have commended my brother for being so tough to be doing various jobs to help my mother or they could have had a man-to-man talk after my brother got busted by the first girl he courted. Since he was away, he wasn't able to scold his youngest daughter for having a puppy love at the age of 12 and coming home late so many times. He wasn't there to comfort my sister when her false teeth broke during her birthday, and he wasn't there to make her feel better when she painfully broke up with her first boyfriend.

I wonder if he's aware that he has a daughter somewhere in Japan who's just starting to fulfill her dream of being a successful engineer. I do not know where he was when we needed him so badly, such as when we were forced to leave our aunt's house. It seems that he did not care that not even one of his daughters had a debut party. Probably he is not even aware that he is now a "lolo" [grandfather], with two beautiful granddaughters.

The list would be endless if I were to write all the memorable moments that transpired in the absence of the most important man in our family.

I must admit that we couldn't help but feel the emptiness, the sense of being incomplete especially during celebrations on Christmas Day, birthdays, commencement exercises, graduations, Father's Day, etc. But maybe we should not rue the loss, for our gains were definitely greater. In fact, I want to thank my father for not being around because we learned to be more hopeful, patient, hardworking and independent. The less determined he was about caring for us, the more determined we were to survive by ourselves. We might have missed the most precious memories that complete families have, but we are still thankful for being blessed with wonderful people who filled the space left by my father.

Throughout the years, God has provided everything that we lacked. In losing our father, God did not allow us to lose our world but instead helped us to conquer it. God made us go through this difficult ordeal so we would prevail, not fail. If we survived the most trying times without him, we can definitely do the same in the future. I know we shall overcome. I know we shall prevail. God will always see us through.

Several years from now, my sisters will be walking down the aisle with their husbands. I hope and pray that they will find real partners who are worthy of their love and trust, real men whose manhood is measured not by the number of relationships they have and not by the number of babies they produce in the process, but rather by their ability to take one of the biggest responsibilities and most of all their capacity to resist life's temptations. It takes a real man, a real partner and a real father to do such things.

I used to succumb to self-pity upon seeing pictures of fathers and sons. But as I've said, pity is for losers. And survivors are definitely not losers, so feeling sorry for survivors isn't fair.

Pacquiao knocks out Morales

National fist too much for Mexican

Agence France-Presse, Inquirer, Associated Press
Last updated 08:47pm (Mla time) 11/19/2006

LAS VEGAS--(3RD UPDATE) Filipino Manny Pacquiao lived up to his famous monickers "The Pacman" and "Pambansang Kamao" (National Fist) when he knocked out Mexico’s Erik Morales in the third round of their final rivalry at the Thomas and Mack Center here.

It was a quick and brutal end for Mexico’s El Terrible after Pacquiao stopped him two minutes and 57 seconds into the third round, leaving the three-time world champion seated on the canvas and shaking his head, saying he did not want to continue.

Pacquiao and Morales started slugging it out at the Thomas and Mack Center here with "The Pacman" Pacquiao persistently aiming for the body of "El Terrible" Morales.

Pacquiao landed more punches than Morales in the first round. Morales tried to corner Pacquiao in the second round but staggered after being hit by Pacquiao’s left fist.

Morales, clearly in the defensive, hit the floor twice in the third round after Pacquiao unleashed a series of punishing blows. After falling for the last time, Morales went to his corner and signaled he was giving up the fight.

"I did my best. I had all the training. I did everything I could do. Manny was just too good for me," Morales said.

"I looked to my corner. They encouraged me to get up but I said no. It was to no avail. There are times you are a beaten man. I was a beaten man tonight."

Morales was knocked down as many times in the fight, three, as he had been in his entire prior career and spoke like a man who had fought his last bout when asked about his future.

"I have to think a lot about it. It was a night that just wasn't for me," Morales said. "I've had a long, illustrious career. I've done it all... It's fine if they want to promote me. But it might not be the best thing."

Pacquiao improved to 43-3 with two drawn by taking his 34th triumph inside the distance. Morales lost for the fourth time in his past five fights, falling to 48-5.

The Filipino powerhouse left no doubt about who was the better fighter. Pacquiao lost a 12-round decision to Morales last year, but avenged that defeat by stopping the Mexican in the 10th round of a rematch last January.

"He didn't respect my right hook. He was surprised by my right hook," Pacquiao said. "That was my big difference over him."

Thousands of Filipino fans at the sold-out Thomas and Mack Center chanted Pacquiao's name, worshipping their native megastar of film, music and endorsements--and don't forget boxing, where he belongs among the world's top handful of pound-for-pound fighters.

The fighters split their first two meetings in the previous two years, with Morales winning a unanimous decision and Pacquiao replying with a TKO victory over "El Terrible" last March.

Their rivalry became one of boxing's better trilogies in recent years, with both punch-addicted brawlers dazzling casual fans and building rabid followings in their native lands.

Morales' career could be in trouble after four losses in five fights, including consecutive setbacks against Pacquiao. He also lost two of three fights in his previous trilogy against Marco Antonio Barrera.

While Pacquiao is a ferocious, straight-ahead puncher who's usually loathe to change his bombardment tactics for any opponent, Morales altered his training strategy and re-hired his trainer-father, Jose, for the third fight after firing him following a recent loss.

Though both fighters have only middling profiles in the United States, each of their three pairings has been an international incident.

Television sets from Manila to Mexico City were tuned in to the pay-per-view telecast of a fight pitting perhaps the Philippines' most famous person against one of the toughest fighters in Mexico's long line of famed brawlers.

Thousands of Filipino fans traveled halfway across the world to Las Vegas for the fight, while thousands more came up from Mexico and Southern California to support Morales.

Third time's the charm

Pacquiao finishes Morales trilogy with electric KO

Posted: Sunday November 19, 2006 2:37AM; Updated: Sunday November 19, 2006 2:37AM

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- From the first combination to the last knockout punch, all the ferocity of Manny Pacquiao's first two fights with Erik Morales seemed to be compressed into just under 9 minutes of frenetic action.

The third fight in this memorable trilogy was short, yet the outcome was sweet for Pacquiao: The Filipino phenomenon cemented his spot among the world's top handful of pound-for-pound fighters.

With a flair befitting his movie-star life, Pacquiao knocked down Morales three times on the way to a third-round knockout victory Saturday night in the super featherweights' third meeting in 20 months.

Pacquiao (43-3-2, 33 KOs) might have knocked Morales (48-5) into retirement in a fight that was every bit as thrilling as their first two meetings -- even if it didn't last nearly as long.

"I thought it was going to be a long fight, but it was a good fight -- more action," Pacquiao said.

He recalled his thought process while the sellout crowd deafened him before the opening bell:

"Make a move and make it fast. In and out, in and out. Use your speed."

Both fighters came out with heedless aggression, and Pacquiao first knocked Morales down against the ropes late in the second round. Morales kept returning shots, but couldn't keep up with Pacquiao's pace -- and after a knockdown midway through the third, Pacquiao finished him with a devastating left hook with just 3 seconds left.

"He was coming to me, and he was not able to handle me," Pacquiao said. "I felt so much stronger than him. I was prepared to fight the best of Morales."

Morales sat up after the final blows, but disconsolately shook his head at his trainer-father, Jose, in his corner -- and Pacquiao celebrated another dynamic victory over the only man to beat him since 1999. Afterward, Morales acknowledged he might be finished after 53 brutal fights, including four losses in his last five.

"For the first time in my career, I actually felt the power of an opponent like I've never felt it before," said Morales, who also lost two of three fights in his previous trilogy against Marco Antonio Barrera.

"I was hurt by the power of his punches, and maybe it's time to think about not doing this anymore. I had a great career. Maybe it is time."

Later, Morales said he probably would only fight again if he could do it in his native Tijuana.

Thousands of Filipino fans at the sold-out Thomas and Mack Center chanted Pacquiao's name, worshipping their native megastar of film, music, endorsements and perhaps politics -- oh, and don't forget boxing.

The 130-pounders split their first two meetings in the previous two years, with Morales winning a unanimous decision and Pacquiao replying with a TKO victory over "El Terrible" last March.

Pacquiao opened the third fight with a blistering series of combinations, and he only slowed down when Morales replied with tenacious jabs. But Pacquiao's momentum was overwhelming, and he had no shortage of ways to hurt his old foe.

"I was faster and bigger than him," Pacquiao said. "I could tell in the second round he was surprised by my right hook."

Pacquiao threw 175 punches in those 9 minutes, landing 54 percent -- including 51 of his 71 power shots in the third round alone. Morales landed just 26 percent of his punches.

"He was too fast and too strong," said Morales, who sat speechless in his corner for 5 minutes afterward. "I did everything in camp necessary to win this fight. I didn't win it. It wasn't my night."

Though both fighters have only middling profiles in the U.S., each of their three pairings has been an international incident.

The crowd of 18,276 was the second-biggest in the arena's history -- and a measure of the fighters' love in this fight-crazy town, where several closed-circuit broadcasts were opened as well.

Morales won their first bout in March 2005, stunning and bloodying Pacquiao -- but Pacquiao battered Morales repeatedly last January, bruising his face and body before dropping him twice in the 10th round for the first TKO loss of Morales' career.

Pacquiao, who gained 15 pounds after making weight Friday at 129, was guaranteed $3 million for the match. Morales will get at least $2.75 million.

Earlier in the evening, Ricardo Torres won the WBO super lightweight title with a sketchy split decision over Philadelphia's Mike Arnaoutis. Mexico's Omar Nino also retained his WBC 108-pound title with a majority draw over former champion Brian Viloria of the Philippines, even though Viloria knocked down Nino twice.

Vanes Martirosyan, a 2004 U.S. Olympian, improved to 11-0 as a rising super welterweight with a fourth-round TKO of Edgar Reyes.

Cooking is (not) fun... from YOUNGBLOOD, thnaks to INQ7.net

Cooking is (not) fun

Published on Page A15 of the November 18, 2006 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer

I DON’T understand how other people can find cooking therapeutic, or even fun. In my book, an activity that involves extreme heat and sharp objects is plain stressful, if not life-threatening. Leave me alone in the kitchen and I would think I’m in Mars! This life form simply isn’t cut out for a merry existence in a place where organic matter is chopped, minced, sautéed, boiled, steamed and simmered. (Culinary vocabulary courtesy of “Del Monte Kitchenomics” from childhood TV watching.)

But make no mistake, I’m a great fan of cooking’s end. Thank heaven for making eating such a pleasurable -- and not just necessary -- experience. One night, while I was having pizza (and chicken and salad and potatoes) with my officemates, Arnold and Gladys, our dinner talk digressed to what kinds of food we don’t like. Arnold barely touched the spaghetti on his plate, but claimed he’d have “pancit” [native noodles] any time. Gladys, whose latest food obsession is tuna salad, abhors beef in most of its forms. As for me, let’s just say that I realized then that I’m truly an omnivore. I don’t seem to dislike any particular kind of food.

Now, if I derive so much pleasure from consuming food, I should try my hand at preparing it, right? Well, at least nobody can fault me for not trying because I have, in fact, attempted some form of cooking a few times.

Once, compelled by house rules, I fried tilapia with my best friend and then housemate, Roovin. The tilapia he fried came out nice-looking and, well, normal.

Piece of cake, I said to myself. After minutes of struggling to disengage my (dismembered) tilapia from the frying pan and on to the plate, the thing looked pitiful -- and hardly edible. The poor fish was murdered for the second time! I felt a need to apologize to my tilapia for bringing it to such a dishonorable end. But, instead, I found it more helpful (and sane) to direct my apologies to the people around the dinner table who, for some reason, found my culinary misadventure amusing.

Several Christmases ago in Davao City, I decided to surprise my family (and myself) by offering to whip up pasta. Blame it on the season’s miracle-conducive atmosphere, but I was actually excited to cook! With no significant culinary experience to back me up, I turned to my housemate Jireh, a mighty great cook who patiently detailed the recipe of his ooh-la-la pasta (the exact variety escapes me now) before I flew to Davao for the holidays.

I absolutely love Jireh’s pasta and I wanted to share the experience with my family as some kind of Christmas gift to them. I went to a grocery store in Davao to get all the needed ingredients. When an ingredient was unavailable, I sent Jireh a text message to seek his suggestion for a substitute. (Before this time, the only Basil I knew was the crooner. “Oh, this spice was named after that singer? How nice!”)

My mother and sister didn’t even try to hide their amusement as they watched the newbie cook, open cans, read the recipe, slice tomatoes (lots of them!), read the recipe again, boil the pasta, read the recipe. I made sure I followed the recipe to the dot. If it said four cloves of garlic, I counted like a kindergarten pupil. If it said two teaspoons of cooking oil, I fretted if the teaspoon I was using was of standard size. Each step was belabored.

Then came the moment of truth. Total consumption per family member: one (polite) plate -- yes, even for my voracious eater of a brother. What, no seconds? They weren’t rude at all; they were just suddenly full, or they suddenly had to go elsewhere, or they suddenly had a craving for fruitcake instead.

Before I retreated to a corner to nurse a bruised ego, I tasted my masterpiece. Eeew! And I laughed.

Cooking is fun, after all.
