| Hardware Pornographic Film Industry Still Firmly Behind HD DVD
We will continue to grow our Blu-ray business as well, and for us, it's going to be a smooth transition if we have to go from one to the other. For the time being, we will continue to release our movies on HD DVD. We have a good, solid customer (HD DVD) base that is buying a healthy quantity, so until that number starts coming down, we will continue supporting it." Digital Playground isn't the only adult film studio currently in the high-def arena. Vivid Entertainment Group, the world's largest adult film producer, expressed to DailyTech plans to stick with HD DVD on grounds of the format's economic strengths. "Currently Blu-ray is very expensive to encode and replicate. It probably won't be embraced by the adult industry until the price is lowered," Steven Hirsch, co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment, told DailyTech.

Current challenges to Jamaica's political system
Evidence of a mounting social and economic crisis abounds despite the many gains that have been made. The most visible manifestation of the growing social crisis is to be seen in the fact that we have among the highest rates of murder and of violent crimes in the world. This has not developed overnight, but rather the increase in the rates of violence, murder and general public disorder and violent confrontation with the state has been a constant during the entire post-independence period. During every decade of this period (with the exception of 1980) we saw the doubling of the murder rate. Moreover, from the late 1970s onwards, Jamaica emerged as a major platform of organised criminal activity centred on the illegal trade in narcotics. Other measures of our social crisis are to be seen in the steady deterioration of family life, high-rates of teenage pregnancy, and the growing alienation of our young people trapped in an underperforming educational system and unable to find a place of worth in the economic and social life of the country.
Tories demand Salmond quit as MP
On July 25, he took part in three votes on immigration, the machinery of government and home affairs. The other occasion was on November 19, when he voted in favour of the European Communities (Finance) Bill. The figures also show he missed a number of votes during the Holyrood election campaign. It is not the first time that Mr Salmond has been criticised over his decision to continue as both an MP and an MSP. The Liberal Democrats accused him of breaking a pre-election promise to accept only one salary. However, the First Minister later announced he would be donating the one-third of his Holyrood salary to which he is entitled as a so-called "dual mandate" politician to a special trust fund to help community projects in the north-east of Scotland.
