Synopsis for Neill Blomkamp's Elysium Released

elysium movie neil blomkamp synopsis

Anticipation is high for filmmaker Neil Blomkamp?s followup to his breakout hit District 9, which is another sci-fi project titled Elysium. However, save for a handful of set photos ? revealing Matt Damon with a shaved head, bloodied clothing, and unidentified futuristic body equipment ? there hasn?t been any news of substance to report since Blomkmap began shooting his sophomore feature.

Prior to now, virtually nothing in the way of concrete information has been revealed about the storyline for Elysium, other than what little can be gleaned from the titular reference to the Elysian Fields from Greek mythology (a final resting place for noble souls). A newly-unveiled synopsis sheds light on how that story ties?into the film?s central narrative, on a literal and figurative level (a la Prometheus).

The first preview audience screening has been held for Elysium, and invitations to said event (made available online thanks to?Collider) include an encompassing, NON-SPOILER summary of the film?s plot (you can read it below):

In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes (Jodie Foster), a hard line government of?cial, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn?t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max (Matt Damon) is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that, if successful, will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

Previous (unconfirmed) reports indicated that Damon?s character is an ex-convict, which has prompted speculation about what the aforementioned body suit could be. One of the popular theories (among others) pegs the mechanical appendage as a life-supporting item, thus making?Max (by definition) a cyborg; that could set the stage for Blomkmap?s film to explore the increasingly prevalent role technology plays in our everyday lives (similar to the impending RoboCop remake). Bear in mind, though, that guess could also be WAY off base.

Sharlto Copley talks District 9 sequel

Sharlto Copley in 'District 9'

Moving past that ? Elysium appears to offer a mix of gruesome violence, thrills, and sci-fi allegory along the lines of District 9. The logline alludes to a storyline that addresses timely issues of social upheaval and class warfare, which are currently all the rage in both movies (The Hunger Games, Dark Knight Rises) and on television (Legend of Korra). It also suggests a place for the ?antagonist? being portrayed by Wagner Moura, who?s previously been described as a divisive, but charismatic figure involved with human trafficking (possibly, into Elysium).

Supporting roles in Elysium will be filled out by people like District 9 star Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga (Predators), Diego Luna (Y Tu Mam? Tambi?n), William Fichtner (Prison Break), Carly Pope (Outlaw), Michael Shanks (Stargate SG-1) and Talisa Soto (Mortal Kombat). The diversity of that roster ? in combination with the Elysium synopsis, indicates that issues of xenophobia and contemporary racism should also be touched on (as they were in D9).

Overall, there appears to be reason enough for fans of cerebral sci-fi to mark their calendars for March 1st, 2013, which is when Elysium begins its theatrical release in the U.S. Naturally, we?ll continue to keep you up-to-date on the project?s status in the meantime.

Still capable of adapting: Research team studies genetic diversity of living fossils

Still capable of adapting: Research team studies genetic diversity of living fossils

Thursday, June 14, 2012

The morphology of coelacanths has not fundamentally changed since the Devonian age, that is, for about 400 million years. Nevertheless, these animals known as living fossils are able to genetically adapt to their environment. This is described by PD Dr. Kathrin Lampert from the RUB's Department of Animal Ecology, Evolution and Biodiversity along with colleagues from W?rzburg, Bremen, Kiel and Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) in the journal Current Biology. "Coelacanths are rare and extremely endangered. Understanding the genetic diversity of these animals could help make preservation schemes against their extinction more effective" says the biologist.

Different populations in Africa studied

Previous genetic studies focused mainly on the biological relationships of coelacanths to lungfish and and vertebrates. In order to assess whether the fish are still able to adapt to new environmental conditions, however, you have to know the genetic diversity within the species. For this purpose, the research team examined 71 specimens from various sites on the east coast of Africa. The researchers analysed genetic markers from the nucleus and from the mitochondria, the powerhouses of the cells.

Geographical differences in the genetic makeup

The data generally revealed low genetic diversity. As presumed, the evolution of these animals is only progressing slowly. Nevertheless, certain genetic patterns were only found in certain geographic regions. "We assume that the African coelacanth originally came from around the Comoros Islands, home to the largest known population" Lampert explains. Since then, however, two further, now independent populations have established themselves in South Africa and Tanzania. In addition, the animals around the Comoros belong to two genetically distinct groups. "We have thus been able to show that despite their slow evolutionary rate, coelacanths continue to develop and are potentially also able to adapt to new environmental conditions" says the RUB researcher. "The image of the coelacanth as a passive relic of bygone times should therefore be put into perspective".

Link between water and land

Coelacanths, Latimeria chalumnae, were regarded as extinct until Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer discovered a live specimen on a fishing boat in 1938. Since then, more than a hundred have been found off the coast of East Africa, most of them off the Comoros. There are probably only a few hundred specimens left in the world, which are seriously threatened with extinction. "Coelacanths are close relatives of the last common ancestor of fish and land vertebrates, and therefore of great scientific interest", says Kathrin Lampert. "By researching them, we hope to gain new insights into one of the major steps of evolution: the colonisation of land."

T-Mobile details progress of 4G network rollout, continues testing iPhone compatible 1900MHz HSPA

June 14, 2012 at 11:02 am

Following a keynote from T-Mobile?s Chief Technology Officer Neville Ray at the NGMN conference this morning, senior vice president of technology Dave Mayo today provided an update regarding the company?s $4 billion 4G network plan.

We already knew T-Mobile would be making its 4G HSPA+ in the 1900 MHz band available to iPhone users later this year as its new network equipment gets installed. It recently confirmed it begun testing the network on a small scale. Today we get an update on the progress of the carrier?s 4G rollout with Mayo confirming installations of new equipment at the first 400 modernized GSM / HSPA+ sites will be complete by the end of June with the number growing to 2,500 sites by the end of July. He also noted the carrier has been approved for 19,500 additional sites, indicating the LTE network is on track for its 2013 rollout.

Mayo confirmed iPhone users can expect ?more of these speed sightings will occur? as the carrier prepares to introduce its 4G HSPA+ service in the 1900 MHz spectrum ?in a large number of markets later this year.? He also said next-generation Release-10 equipment will be used in its LTE trials this summer.

Asus PadFone Android phone and Tablet coming to AT&T

That is for the phone and that tablet dock, not subsidized. Asus PadFone is a nice niche device that?s about it.? Most people would want them separated because most of the times we are using the tablet and answering the phone too.? Even if the phone can be integrated into the tablet, it takes away the resource of using the tablet when looking up info. I have a tablet and a phone. But there are plenty of times i am using my phone for one thing and tab for others at same time

I was looking forward the Padfone going to T-mobile I hate att. I guess I can buy the Padfone and the tablet and unlock but I hate seeing the att logo on the phone. But I wish they announced the nexus tablet I been holding back from buying a tablet especially the Samsung galaxy tab plus.

Honestly, if it?s $860 for both Phone and Tablet without contract, that?s not a bad deal. Most tablet?s these days cost $400-600 and most phones these days costs $600-800 without contract.

So in other words, it supports only 2G speeds only so that sucks. Come on Asus, release a version compatible with 3G on one of the carriers. I?d still rather get one of the new Nexus phones coming later this year + one of the transformer pads.

Asus PadFone features includea 4.3-inch Super AMOLED qHD display, dual-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm snapdragon S4 CPU with the new Adreno 225 GPU, 8MP camera with LED flash and f/2.2 aperture, a VGA front-facing shooter,16GB of expandable storage, HSPA+ connectivity and Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI and A-GPS, a 1,520mAh battery, a 10.1" tablet display, a physical QWERTY keyboard Tablet Dock and Android 4.0 OS.

Vogelsong?baffles Rangers, wins 5th straight

By JANIE McCAULEY

AP Baseball Writer

Associated Press Sports

updated 7:17 p.m. ET June 9, 2012

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Ryan Vogelsong gets such regular grief about his antisocial tendencies that a new form of razzing became a nice change of pace Saturday.

Not only did Vogelsong pitch the San Francisco Giants to another victory, he added a hit in the process. And his teammates had a ball with that base hit considering it had been so long since they'd seen one.

Vogelsong pitched a season-high 7 2-3 innings to win his fifth straight decision, Nate Schierholtz hit an RBI triple and the Giants bounced back from their first shutout of the season to beat the Texas Rangers 5-2 on Saturday.

"Don't miss the ball," fellow starter Matt Cain quipped from a nearby locker, moments after reliever Jeremy Affeldt hollered a ribbing of his own toward Vogelsong.

No matter who comes to the plate right now, the Giants are suddenly producing just the key hits that were so hard to come by in the first two months of the season.

"It's big, to keep the lineup going and push some runs across," said catcher Buster Posey, who offered Vogelsong some hitting tips heading into the day.

Ryan Theriot added an RBI single off Scott Feldman (0-5) while helping Vogelsong (5-2) run his unbeaten streak to seven outings since losing May 3 against Miami.

Giants slugger Pablo Sandoval also hit an RBI single in his first game since May 2, pumping his right fist as he ran it out in the seventh. He went 1 for 4 and received a warm ovation each time he stood in to bat. The switch hitter came off the disabled list and returned to the starting lineup playing third base and batting third after undergoing May 4 surgery for a broken hamate bone in his left hand.

Angel Pagan, who had his 15-game hitting streak overall and 28-game run at home snapped in Friday's 5-0 loss, had an RBI double in the seventh and singled in the second. He also made a running backhanded catch to rob Adrian Beltre of a hit to end the third.

Texas' Mitch Moreland splashed a home run into McCovey Cove beyond the right-field arcade. It was his first career pinch-hit drive, No. 4 by the Rangers this year and the 25th splash-hit homer by an opponent.

"It was just one run and we didn't get what we wanted," Moreland said. "I don't worry about us being down too long. We'll come back and get back on track."

Mike Napoli connected in the ninth against Clay Hensley, who walked Craig Gentry before Santiago Casilla got the final out for his 16th save in 17 opportunities.

Vogelsong allowed only one baserunner past second until Moreland's homer, shutting down the Rangers a day after the two-time reigning AL champions snapped an 11-game losing streak in San Francisco with a 5-0 win. That victory Friday night marked the first time San Francisco has been blanked this year.

"He's got a maniacal focus that you love," manager Bruce Bochy said. "That's a tough lineup. What a job he did."

Gregor Blanco had two hits and Schierholtz also had an eighth-inning double. San Francisco produced five hits with runners in scoring position for just the third time this year.

Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum takes the mound in the rubber game Sunday for San Francisco, trying to snap a seven-start winless stretch in which he's 0-4. The hard-throwing right-hander pitched the Game 5 World Series clincher for the Giants at Texas in 2010, beating the Rangers for the second time in the Series. He has never faced them in the regular season.

Vogelsong allowed one run and three hits while lowering his ERA to 2.26, third-best in the NL.

He singled in the third for his first hit in 21 at-bats this season and 24th of his career in 133 at-bats. He scored the first run of the game on an error by second baseman Ian Kinsler, who fielded Theriot's grounder about 20 feet off second and - with baserunner Blanco blocking his way - threw wildly toward first. The ball bounced off the dugout screen as teammates ducked.

Feldman struck out a season-best seven and walked one in 5 1-3 innings, showing some positive signs.

The right-hander, who grew up in nearby Burlingame, worked deeper into a game than he has all season and was more consistent than when he allowed eight runs and seven hits in 1 2-3 innings in a 12-1 loss Monday at Oakland. Feldman lost his lone other start against the Giants on June 19, 2009, when matched up with Randy Johnson.

Rangers manager Ron Washington stuck with Gentry a day after he produced a career-high five hits, but he went 0 for 2 with a walk and a hit by a pitch.

"It might be a long time before he gets five straight hits in the big leagues again," Washington said. "It just doesn't happen that often."

San Francisco's Melky Cabrera missed his second straight game with a strained right hamstring and Bochy hopes to stay away from him through Sunday's series finale. The team has an off day Monday before hosting Houston starting Tuesday night.

NOTES: Home run king Barry Bonds has 35 splash hits. ... The Giants are 22-8 when scoring first. ... Washington hopes to get about 60 pitches from Sunday spot starter Alexi Ogando, taking the turn of Derek Holland after the LHP went on the disabled list Thursday with a fatigued throwing shoulder. He also had a stomach virus that caused him to lose about 15 pounds. "Derek is a horse, and he was acting like a pony," Washington said. "He was sick. We're going to work him hard and build his stamina back up." Washington doesn't need Ogando to throw his usual 97-100 mph, saying, "97, 98, 99, 100's something you go get when you need it."... Giants 1B coach Roberto Kelly was ill and away from the team.
