Glasses-Free 3D and Smell-o-Vision: Movies of the Future from 1935

Predictions that 3D movies would be the wave of the future are even older than the talkies. But back in 1935 the so-called father of science fiction gave his prediction for 3D films an even bolder twist: By 1945, audiences would be able to watch 3D movies without having to wear those silly glasses.

Right in his wheelhouse

AP

Hines Ward is used to training, and he?s used to competing.

What he can?t get used to is the inevitability of losing.

The former Steelers wideout has struggled with that concept, as he prepares for the Ironman Triathlon.

?The realization is having never done it before, I can?t go in thinking I?m going to go out and win the Ironman,? Ward said, via Karen Price of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. ?That?s the battle I have, . . . I have to know what my body?s capable of doing and I have to run my pace. I can?t run a pace that?s someone else?s or I won?t make it at the end.?

By the time the race in Kona, Hawaii begins in October, he will have been in serious training for nearly a year.

Even for an elite athlete, the challenge of swimming 2.4 miles in the Pacific Ocean, biking 112 miles and then running 26.2 miles is a different kind of challenge than playing football or ?Dancing with the Stars.?

Ward has been training with eight-time Ironman champion Paula Newby-Fraser, who had to teach him how to ride a road bike with clip-in pedals, and teaching him the correct strokes in a pool to give him a chance.

?I think he thought it might be a bit of a challenge, but he had no idea how hard it was going to be, . . .? Newby-Fraser said. ?He gets incredibly frustrated. He melts down with frustration just because he wants to be good at it and wants to perform. He?s having to balance the reality of where he is with where he wants to be. When things don?t go exactly right he gets so mad.?

Ward has gradually built up from shorter races, and he did a half-Ironman last week.?He trains three hours a day, six days a week, logging on average 150 miles combined per week. As a result, he?s dropped 30 pounds since he started training, down to 195.

?I love challenges, and this will by far be my toughest challenge,? Ward said. ?It?s just me versus myself on the course. You have to continue to push through the pain and hopefully after 140 miles I can cross the finish line and what great satisfaction it will be to hear, ?Hines Ward, you?re an Ironman.? When that day comes, if I can cross that finish line, that will probably be one of my greatest accomplishments throughout my life.?

For a guy who has accomplished so much already, that?s saying something.

Koloid (for iPhone)

You could hardly be blamed for thinking that with the popularity of Instagram, competing camera apps would have shriveled and died. It's true that the filter-and-share app dominates, but an army of others soldier on. Koloid (99 cents, iOS), is unique in that you have to spread "developer" fluid across your image by moving your phone. The results are unique, and unlike anything you can get with other camera apps.

Just about every app has the same photo-taking experience: point, shoot, add filters, share. Sometimes, you might import an older photo from your camera roll. Koloid is different, demanding as the aptly named developer (pun?) "19TH CENTURY APPS SP Z O O" suggests, a more 19th century approach.

A Developing Story
The first screen you arrive on is the viewfinder, which resembles a plate-glass negative from back in the day. The view is locked in portrait orientation, so don't try flipping your iPhone on its side for a wider photo. However, you can switch to a more Instagram-compliant square format from the settings menu.

Take a photo by tapping the camera button at the bottom of the screen. Fans of using the volume button to take a photo are out of luck. Next, select how much virtual collodion developer fluid you want to use. Less fluid covers less space and can leave a ghostly effect on photos. More fluid develops faster, but can overdevelop some areas and even burn the image black.

Shake your phone to deploy the fluid, and then move the collodion around the screen by tilting the phone. This may seem dumb and gimmicky (it?s at the very least gimmicky), but you can get some neat effects that aren't really possible in apps like Hipstamatic and Instagram that are based solely on filters. You can burn out some areas or leave sections undeveloped. It's tricky, made all the trickier by the lugubrious movement of the collodion.

When you?re done, press the Ready button and you'll be presented with the final version of your photo. All the streaks and burns are present in the black-and-white image, but I was disappointed that the image seemed clearer and had more contrast than the one I had been developing. Perhaps that's the result of a digital dip in water to get the collodion off, but it still seems odd. The app sticks very true to its gimmick, sorry, concept, in most other ways?like not allowing you to re-edit pictures?that I wish the final image was exactly the one I developed.

Sharing and Storing
Koloid has its own little gallery built right into the app, though it will save to your camera roll, too. Note that unlike Instagram, it doesn't save a copy of the raw, un-developed image.

You can share directly to Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Flickr, and Instagram from within Koloid. You can also export images directly from Koloid via email and text message. Unlike Flickr and Instagram, Koloid is just a camera toy; there's no website or larger social service backing it up.

Ready to Develop?
Koloid is fun, and I'm already looking forward to my Instagram friends asking me how I got the effects on my images. It doesn't have a lot of depth, but it delivers on what it promises and the price is reasonable.

I would like to see Koloid loosen up a bit and allow me to import photos from my camera roll, and allow landscape-oriented photos. Just because we're playing at the 1890s, doesn't mean we can't do better.

Koloid needs a little more time to develop (definitely a pun), but it's a fun, cheap addition to your digital camera bag.

'Curb Your Enthusiasm' actor Jeff Garlin arrested

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Los Angeles police say "Curb Your Enthusiasm" actor and comedian Jeff Garlin has been arrested on a felony vandalism charge after a dispute with another motorist over a parking space.

Police Sgt. Harry Rosenfeld says the 51-year-old actor was arrested for allegedly smashing the windows of the other person's car. Rosenfeld says officers arrested Garlin in Studio City on Saturday.

Garlin was jailed on $20,000 bail. It wasn't clear from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's website if he had been released. Garlin's publicists didn't immediately respond to phone and email messages Sunday.

Garlin played Larry David's friend and manager on "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and was the show's co-executive producer. He's also appeared frequently on "Arrested Development" and numerous other television shows.

TMZ first reported his arrest.

Under par becomes revolving door at US Open

ARDMORE, Pa. (AP) ? Short birdie putts were a big deal for Charl Schwartzel and Luke Donald at the 10th hole in the third round at the U.S. Open.

When Schwartzel made his 4-footer Saturday, he became the first player all day to get to 2 under in a tournament where the top of the leaderboard was in constant flux.

Minutes later, Donald reached the same score by converting an even shorter putt at the same hole, a 280-yard par 4 that offered one of the few reliable birdie chances on the tough and tight little course.

The names at the top kept changing. Phil Mickelson and Billy Horschel began the round with a share of first place at 1 under, a score that was as precious as a small piece of shade on a hot day at the club. Soon they were gone, replaced by John Senden and Justin Rose. Then along came Donald to make it a trio.

A few minutes later, 2011 Masters champion Schwartzel was there all by himself with a birdie at No. 7. Donald rejoined him with a birdie at No. 8.

There was also a lot of noise coming from a group farther ahead on the back nine. Nineteen-year-old amateur Michael Kim made four birdies in a six-hole stretch, capped by a 15-foot putt at No. 15 that lowered his score to even par.

Kim, the Jack Nicklaus Award winner as the nation's top collegiate golfer, bogeyed his next two holes, but his score was far better than that of, say, Tiger Woods, who was a 7 over midway through the back nine, in danger of extending his five-year drought without a major championship.

Sunshine was baking a course that had been soaked by heavy rain for a week. The sloping greens were faster and tougher to read. Any putt beyond 15 feet became an adventure, and many closer ones were far from gimmies. Typical of the day: Horschel leaning back in disbelief after missing a 7-foot par putt at No. 5, his expression as colorful as his horizontal-striped shirt.

It became clear that a runaway round to establish a clear leader was unlikely. Quite the contrary. Many scores were running in the opposite direction.

Woods bogeyed three of his first six holes, putting the ball all over the place. He made a nice arcing 15-footer for birdie at No. 1 but missed an 8-footer for par at No. 3. He kept having to bail himself out from tee shots that landed in the rough, although at least he was showing no obvious problems with the left elbow that's been bothering him this week.

Rory McIlroy was faring even worse, with five bogeys on the front nine.

Mickelson and Horschel shared the lead at 1 under after the second round was completed earlier Saturday. In the third round, Horschel saved par at No. 2 by making a putt from the fringe on a hole that ended a remarkable streak of accuracy. Horschel didn't miss a green in regulation during the second round, but his trouble at the 2nd included a hook that went so far left that he had to stand a few feet behind a water cooler to make his next shot.

Neither Mickelson and Horschel could get a handle on the 245-yard par-3 third, Horschel finding the bunker and Mickelson the greenside rough. Both 2-putted for bogey to fall back to even par.

Mickelson bogeyed No. 5 as well, but he later joined the parade of golfers making birdie at No. 10 and picked up a shot at the 11th to get back under par, one shot off the lead.

The average score through two rounds on the par-70 course was 74.7. The cut line was 8 over, saving both defending champion Webb Simpson (5 over) and Masters champion Adam Scott (7 over) and keeping alive, albeit faintly, hopes for a Grand Slam. The third round was played in threesomes teeing off at Nos. 1 and 11 in a tournament that fell behind schedule when storms moved through the Philadelphia area on Thursday.
