Rick Perry “stole the show” at the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans this weekend and whether he may throw his hat into the 2012 presidential race, Chris Wallace asks former White House deputy press secretary Bill Burton whether the Democrats should be worried about Perry entering the race. After Burton dismisses Perry as just a “pretty extreme version of George W. Bush” and noted that no matter who wins the nomination, this election is going to be about the economy and Wallace attempts to defend Perry’s record in Texas. WALLACE: Rick Perry’s got, huge job growth. It’s the biggest job-producing state in the country. BURTON: But on the bottom in education, on the bottom on the unemployed, on the bottom of a lot of different things. WALLACE: Well, we’re going to have to leave it there, to be continued. Thank you panel and see you all next week. As was already pointed out here and as Burton rightfully noted, the economy in Texas is not in good shape, but apparently Chris Wallace didn’t want to discuss that.

PC Simon Harwood to face charge of manslaughter over death of Ian Tomlinson at G20 demonstration in April 2009 The Scotland Yard officer accused of killing homeless newspaper vendor Ian Tomlinson during the G20 protests is to appear in court on Monday. PC Simon Harwood, from Carshalton, south London, will appear before City of Westminster magistrates court charged with manslaughter. Tomlinson, 47, collapsed and died on the fringes of the demonstrations in central London in April 2009, after being hit by a police baton and pushed. Harwood was charged over the death after Keir Starmer, QC, director of public prosecutions, reviewed an inquest jury’s verdict of unlawful killing. Starmer overturned an earlier decision not to prosecute anyone in relation to the death after the inquest heard new medical evidence and the opinion of experts leading him to conclude there was a “realistic prospect” of a successful prosecution of Harwood. Starmer said after the inquest: “The difficulties that would now confront any prosecution have changed in nature and scale from last year when a decision was taken not to prosecute, although it is clear that real difficulties remain.” Tomlinson’s death became the subject of intense controversy after New York businessman Christoper La Jaunie handed video footage taken during the protest to the Guardian. The inquest saw CCTV images, police helicopter footage and hand-held video recordings showing Tomlinson staggering away from a police cordon after being hit by a baton. He is seen gesturing to police and appearing angry after being sent tumbling to the ground. The Metropolitan police commissioner, Sir Paul Stephenson, said the case was “clearly a very, very serious matter for all concerned”. He added: “I have got to be very, very concerned at an inquest verdict that returns a verdict of unlawful killing involving, as the inquest did, one of my police officers. My sympathies continue to be with the Tomlinson family.” Ian Tomlinson Police London Sir Paul Stephenson Keir Starmer G20 Caroline Davies guardian.co.uk

The latest word from the company has pre-orders shipping next week, in five different varieties, from a barebones chassis and card reader to the C64x Ultimate – an $895 machine that includes 1TB hard drive and a Blu-ray player. If you haven’t been teased enough over the past year of delays, hit the video after the break for more preview images.
