DETROIT -- Sergio Romo will probably throw the last pitch of the 2012 World Series if the Giants win tonight, and it will probably be his slider, which is one of the best in the game, and a pitch that he learned out of desperation.
Romo played at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction, Colo., and what he found when he got there was that the breaking ball that he threw at the time didn't really break properly at that elevation (almost 4,600 feet).
So he altered his grip, embracing some advice: Instead of holding the ball the way most pitchers do when they throw a slider, he held it as if he were going to throw a two-seam fastball, and with the seams of the baseball serving as anchors for his fingers, he cocked his wrist and spun the ball.
"I could tell the difference right away," he said, remembering how the pitch broke properly immediately, in spite of the elevation.
Through the years, he has learned more about the pitch, about changing speeds with it and altering the angle, and with all of the variations, it's worked for him. Romo has now retired all six hitters he has faced in this World Series. In 9 2/3 innings this postseason, he's allowed only four hits, a walk and one run, and generated a whole lot of weak swings and popups. Incredibly, Romo has generated 20 outs in the air in this postseason (zero ground balls), with six strikeouts, and he and Tim Lincecum have dominated in this World Series.
Romo and the Giants are one win away from the title, writes Henry Schulman. With these Giants, there is no torture, writes John Shea.
World Series notes
Ryan Vogelsong became the second pitcher to begin his career with four straight postseason starts of five innings or more, allowing one run or fewer. The other was Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson.
From ESPN Stats and Info, how Vogelsong beat the Tigers in Game 3:
A. Vogelsong worked his fastball on the inner third of the plate to righties, throwing 16 of 34 heaters there. The Tigers righties went 1-for-5 in at-bats ending with a fastball inside.
B. Vogelsong attacked lefties away with his fastball with 18 of 26 pitches. Eleven of the 18 pitches went for strikes, as Tigers lefties went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against the heater.
C. The Tigers were 0-for-4 with RISP, including two double plays. Opponents are 2-for-17 with three strikeouts against Vogelsong this postseason with RISP (.118 BA, .217 in regular season).
From ESPN Stats and Info, on Lincecum's performance:
A. He threw seven two-strike pitches (four fastballs, three changeups). Lincecum threw all three changeups to lefties, leading to strikeouts.
B. Three of the four outs Lincecum got against righties were on the inner half of the plate. Tigers righties are 0-for-7 against Lincecum in the series in at-bats ending with a pitch on the inner half.
C. His average fastball velocity was 92 mph, his highest as a reliever in the playoffs. Lincecum has not thrown a fastball slower than 90 mph in the World Series.
The Freak show worked again, writes John Harper.
Prince Fielder has looked incredibly anxious at the plate, seeing a total of 30 pitches in 11 plate appearances, and the Giants are following the blueprint established by the Athletics and Yankees in the first two rounds in dealing with Miguel Cabrera, pounding him inside with pitches. So far in this series, the duo is 3-for-19 with one RBI (the same number of RBIs for Barry Zito in this World Series).
Fielder managed to have a smile and a sense of humor after Game 3. He was asked if somebody on the Tigers needed to say something, to make a speech, and Fielder -- who has been in major league clubhouses his whole life and is well-schooled on the need to keep an even keel, emotionally -- smiled. "All that talk stuff is for 'Hoosiers,'" he said. "This is reality."
The Tigers' reality is pretty dark right now: They are down three games to none and no team in history has ever come back from that deficit in the World Series.
Fielder and Cabrera are getting shackled, writes Tom Haudricourt.
Bad luck isn't to blame for the Tigers' demise, writes Drew Sharp.
The only way to describe the Tigers' offense is frigid.
The Tigers couldn't deliver, writes Tom Gage.
The Giants could set a World Series record tonight. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, they haven't trailed in 54 consecutive innings. The record is 60 by the 2004 Boston Red Sox.
It might be even colder for tonight's game.
This year, Max Scherzer has dealt with something much worse than a 3-0 deficit, writes John Niyo.
From ESPN Stats and Info, more about the Game 4 starting pitchers:
Matt Cain looked to have his stuff back in his last start against the Cardinals, helped by his ability to get outs when the count went to two strikes. In his first three starts of the postseason, Cain allowed seven hits (including three home runs) in two-strike counts. But in his last start, the Cardinals went 2-for-14 (both hits were singles) with four strikeouts. The key for Cain will be to use his fastball in two-strike counts, where opponents are hitting .087 (2-for-27) in two-strike at-bats ending with a fastball.
Max Scherzer gets the ball for the Tigers, and it's no secret that he is a power pitcher. While his average fastball velocity is down from the regular season (94.2 to 93.1 mph), Scherzer has still been effective with the heater, with opponents going 2-for-15 with eight strikeouts. In those 15 at-bats ending with a fastball this postseason, 12 of them have ended in a two-strike count at an average velocity of 94.1 mph, up 1.6 mph from his non-two-strike fastballs.
Rivera's future
Mariano Rivera is reportedly uncertain about whether he will come back in 2013. It's possible, of course, that after being at home all summer for the first time that he is really torn by the idea of leaving home for another season. But keep this in mind: While Rivera is a beloved figure in the Yankees' organization and deeply respected, through the course of his career, the negotiations between the team and the pitcher have always been tough stuff. He and the Yankees went to arbitration, and just a couple of years ago, he threatened to leave the Yankees for the Red Sox, going so far as to bluff that he was about to board a plane to take a physical before signing with Boston.
So with Rivera headed into free agency again, it's possible this is all part of the next round of negotiations. The Yankees are probably going to ask him to shave his base salary down from $15 million, given his age and the fact that he's coming off a lost season, and maybe Rivera's statement that he's not sure he wants to come back is just the opening salvo in those conversations.
Moves, deals and decisions
1. Jeremy Guthrie is likely to test free agency. Within the same notebook, there is word about the Royals' talks with Joakim Soria.
2. The Rays will have to start making decisions right after the World Series, writes Marc Topkin.
3. The Orioles have scouted a teenager from Japan.
4. Melky Cabrera could be hearing from the Mets.
5. Jerry Manuel is part of the Rockies' managerial search.
6. An Angels minor league manager resigned.
7. The Padres released a couple of pitchers.
8. Alex Anthopoulos has a couple of busy weeks coming up.
9. Jeff Luhnow reveals his plan for building the Astros. They will be a fascinating team to watch because the operation of the team -- from the personnel to the game decisions -- will be mostly driven by statistical analysis.
By the Numbers
From ESPN Stats & Information
1. The Giants are the first team to throw back-to-back shutouts in the same World Series since the 1966 Orioles did it in three straight games.
2. The Tigers were shut out a league-low two times during the regular season, but have now been shut out three times this postseason, including back-to-back games in the World Series. They are the first team to be shut out with five hits or fewer in back-to-back games in a single World Series since the 1921 Giants versus the Yankees.
Other stuff
" Mike Matheny learned plenty in his first season. The Cardinals went far this year, writes Bernie Miklasz.
" The Mariners' Mike Zunino is making progress.
" Mike Hazen says John Farrell manages it all.
" The Marlins lack an organizational philosophy, writes Juan Rodriguez. The front office is to blame, as well as Ozzie Guillen, writes Dan Le Batard.
" Rick Hahn is confident that Chicago can become a White Sox town again.
" Bud Selig wants the mayor of St. Petersburg to help the Rays with their ballpark situation.
And today will be better than yesterday.

Oberlin College invites applications and nominations for the position of Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences (the College). Oberlin is seeking a leader who is passionate about liberal arts education and who shares Oberlin's values – a commitment to social justice, equity and environmental sustainability – and who can provide the strategic leadership and imagination to enable the College to continue to foster the intellectual and creative development of its students and prepare them for future success.
The successful candidate will be creative, entrepreneurial and collaborative. S/he will be an accomplished scholar and teacher who has a deep affinity for the liberal arts and for undergraduate education, strong management and fundraising skills, and a consultative disposition suited to an institution where decanal leadership is embedded in faculty governance.

The dean will join Oberlin at an exciting time. In September 2012 Oberlin launched the public phase of Oberlin Illuminate, a seven-year comprehensive capital campaign. The campaign will raise funds to support the endowment, increase support for faculty and students, and undertake significant capital projects that will enable Oberlin to continue to offer innovative programs to meet emerging disciplines and maintain its reputation for excellence as a liberal arts college with a world-class conservatory, art museum, and science facilities. In addition, the campaign will raise $20M to support the Oberlin Project, which is part of the Clinton Climate Initiative. This project aims to make Oberlin College and the city carbon neutral, transforming the area and creating a Green Arts District that will revitalize resources for the arts and education and create important new opportunities for student learning.
The dean will work in partnership with President Marvin Krislov and the Dean of the Conservatory, as well as the Oberlin faculty and staff to develop a new long range strategic plan that will build on the initiatives already underway and frame the aspirations and priorities of Oberlin for the future.

We celebrated my husband's birthday by taking a road trip up to New Hope - in search for a really cool hat and a good time. We drove with the windows down, our hair blowing wildly as we sat and listened to the wind. It felt so good to feel the wind and sun on our face. A quite ride in the countryside to celebrate Dad's birthday was just what we needed after a loud and fun-filled Independence Day. The girls shopped for handmade anklets and incense (to keep the mosquitoes away) and they were thrilled with their big girl purchases. However, their favorite part of the day was feeding the ducks and swans on the Delaware River with their Dad.
....and Geir found a really cool hat for his birthday.... soon I will capture a photo of him wearing it. (He didn't feel like posing tonight.)
I love you Babe, Nicole

Audi says buyers of the TDI turbo-diesel version of its TT sports coupe will be an intelligent breed. Well they are also going to have be a patient and relaxed bunch as well.
The traditional sport-coupe drive experience image is of frantic gearchanging and soaring engine revs, accompanied by a shrieking exhaust note.
Not so the $70,900 TT TDI, which is Australia's first diesel-powered sports car.
Because of their high compression ratios, turbo-diesel engines don't have the same revving ability as petrol engines That means operating in a relatively narrow powerband above the initial and inevitable turbo lag and below the point where the engine starts to tighten up.
In the case of the TT TDI quattro that equates to a range between 2000 and 4500rpm. That may sound unappealing but the car's abundant 350Nm of torque produced in the same region tends to compensate for that.
On the typical, winding, undulating road that sports car drivers search out - where yellow advisory speed signs warn of upcoming hairpins - the usual petrol-engined sports-driving practice is to downchange on the way in and then shift up on the way as the throttle is floored and revs skyrocket.
Instead, the TT TDI's engine characteristics encourage you to simply leave the gearbox untouched, most likely in third or fourth gear. Brake on the way in, accelerate on the way out, the engine's torque unravelling with languid consistency.
Drop a gear and you simply tie up the engine too high in the rev range and produce way too much engine braking. One gear too high and there's precious little response to the throttle for too long.
The fizz, buzz and atmospherics of a highly-tuned petrol four-cylinder is absent, as is the intense feeling of thrust. But there is no doubt this is still a strong engine capable of propelling the TT across winding roads speedily thanks to its outstanding mid-range. And there is a pleasingly meaty woofle at start-up as well as an aggressive edge to the exhaust note from around 3500rpm. There's only minor evidence of diesel clatter at idle.
Back in the more mainstream driving world the TT TDI shows off its fuel consumption pedigree with a fuel consumption average during our launch drive on the flat, straight roads of South Australia's Kangaroo Island of 7.0L/100km (according to the trip computer).
This along with the engine's refinement certainly makes this an appealing alternative to the frenetic sports car norm. Having said that the turbo-petrol (TFSI) engines that resides alongside the TDI in the TT range have a similarly engaging ability to talk the torque, as well as offering a far superior top-end. It's only in fuel economy that the TDI does better.
Like those other members of the range the TDI displays impressive road manners. The Macpherson strut/multi-link suspension is tuned to suit the heavier engine and the car's balance with the aid of the Haldex all-wheel drive system is impressive.
Understeer is hardly an issue in tight corners, while the ride on KI's undulations proved well-controlled even on optional 19-inch rubber. The electro-mechanical steering is the weak point, grading too dramatically and artificially from light to heavy.
But as an everyday proposition the TT TDI's credentials are marred most by the lack of an auto or S Tronic (dual-clutch manual) option. There's no drama with the manual 'box, but it would prove tiresome operating the clutch and shift lever on the urban commute.
You might also be put off by the limited rearward visibility for the driver and lack of rear seat space for passengers, but those are TT issues that spread through the range rather than just limited to the TDI.
You also get the exterior and interior positives, including a bodyshape that moves the TT on elegantly from its rounded first generation a well-built cabin with quality materials and signature features such as a flat-bottom steering wheel, aluminium trim (which ties in to the TT's substantial use of the light weight material in its core construction), comfortable sports seats and a sizeable luggage area.
The TDI also gets fundamentally the same equipment level as the 2.0 TFSI. This includes four airbags, stability and traction control, ABS with EBD and brake assist, leather upholstery, air-conditioning, cruise, Bluetooth prep and 17-inch alloys and six CD audio.
It's a decent enough features list and the TT TDI is a decent enough car. Now we get to find out whether that's enough to make people go with the head rather than heart when it comes to a sports car purchase.

Orianna Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi! ^^ (My first Build!)
I play Orianna as a Support Champion.
She shine when laning with a Melee DPS. She can force enemies to stay back harassing them using the ball's high range, so the laning partner can last hit more easily. When an enemy has low HP, Protect (E) and Dissonance (W) provide everything your teammate needs to ensure the kill: Armor, Magic Resist, Shield, Magic Damage and Speed Modifier to keep the melee range or run if the attack fails. If the enemy is lucky and runs back with 10 HP, Attack (Q) him safely even if he is under his turret, Orianna's range is very high.
In teamfights she can help in the same way because all of her abilities are AoE. Always Protect (E) teammates running away with low HP and a DoT on them like ignite, saving their life.
Her Shockwave (R) is amazing when coordinated with anoter Ultimate like Katarina's Death Lotus or Nunu's Absolute Zero. Combinations are too many, cant list.
Pros / Cons
- Fun to play
- Useful
- High Range
- Low Cooldowns
- Tons of synergies with other Chamions
- Low Damage (But constant)
- Hard to play (Not so much...)
- Squishy (Just be careful!)
9 - 1 - 20
Archaic Knowledge is a must for every AP based Champion.
Perseverence, Expanded Mind and Meditation help Orianna with her Mana problems.
Sorcery and Intelligence give her 9% Cooldown Reduction.
Blink of an Eye because it reduces Flash's Cooldown.
Feel free to change all other points.
9x Greater Mark of Insight and 3x Greater Quintessence of Insight because her dmg is not so high and Magic Penetration give her a nice boost.
9x Greater Seal of Clarity and 9x Greater Glyph of Clarity because Orianna needs a lot of Mana Regen to stay longer in lane.
With Meki Pendant, 1x Blue Potion and 1x Red Potion, i have all i need to start laning. Orianna's range is high so enemies usually cant harass her, but if they come close enough i have my red potion. Meki pendant and a Blue Potion help me to stay longer in lane.
Calice of Harmony, with masteries and runes, give me all the mana regeneration i need, so i buy it as soon as i can.
Ionan Boots of Lucidity and Morello's Evil Tome let me reach 38% Cooldown Reduction. I think it's enough. Morello's Evil Tome also give me more Mana Regeneration and AP.
Rylai's Cristal Shepter's slow effect is good. Orianna is very squishy so an HP boost is a must. Dont forget this item also gives AP.
Orianna has enough mana regen, enough CD reduction and enough slowing effects, now she needs more damage. Rabadon's Deathcap gives an high AP boost.
Last item is situational. If the enemy team is AD based, buy Zhonya's Hourglass. If the enemy team is AP based buy Abyssal Scepter. If the enemy team is balanced buy Guardian Angel, it gives both Armor and Magic Resist.
Summoner Spells
Flash is a must because she is weak.
She cant heal, so Heal is a good choice to support the team.
I dont pick Ghost because she have Dissonance (W).
If there is an healer in team, i can pick Clarity if my team needs it or Exaust if we needs more CCs.

Script to Change IP addresses in Kali Linux constantly
Everybody who works in IT know that you need to test the equipment you are going to deploy at the customer premises, so you use your virtual machine to change the IP address from static to dynamic to emulate customer environment.
After several days changing IP address to match the networks and firewalls, etc, etc I created my own scripts to do it, these scripts are simple and modify it what ever you want:
Location of my scripts:
The following files are copies of the Kali network configuration located at /etc/network/interfaces and put them in my /root/myscripts
interfaces-static -- This is where I put my customer network config
interfaces-dhcp -- This is the dhcp when I wan my virtual machine to connect to internet
So I modify the static and put my customer site configuration and send the file to /etc/network/interfaces now this require restart services, etc, etc, so I create two scripts one for static and one for dhcp and gave them chmod 777 to each one
Scripts to send the files to /etc/network/interfaces
./networking-static - Please notice the script chance the interfaces-static to interfaces
./networking-dhcp - Please notice the script chance the interfaces-dhcp to interfaces
So when I finish working just run ./networking-dhcp and now I can use my virtual machine what ever I wanted.
Do you want to practice your pentest skills, please sing up to www.thehost1.com

I just came across a website that clames it provides instant dmoz listings at £149.00.
Sounds scammy, at first it looked like a regular paid inclusion site untill suddenly I see this buy now link next to the dmoz logo
January 23rd, 2004, 01:23 AM #2
I wonder if maybe they're an editor on dmoz?
If you can solve your problem, then what is the need of worrying?
If you cannot solve it, then what is the use of worrying?
January 23rd, 2004, 01:23 AM #3
I seriously think it's a scam!
A quick check of DMOZ for "dmoz paid inclusion" yields no results http://search.dmoz.org/cgi-bin/searc...paid+inclusion
And DMOZ's About DMOZ page says nothing about being able to buy a listing.
It's the most wonderful time of the year!~Old Christmas Song

Walking onstage to loud cheers at Oct. 24's Hollywood Film Festival Awards, Jennifer Aniston gave the tall, dark-haired man beside her a big hug and a kiss. Grinning, she told the crowd: "I like to think of myself as his Mrs. Robinson." Well, here's to you, Mrs. Robinson. Sure, that was her Good Girl costar Jake Gyllenhaal, 24—not her new real-life leading man Vince Vaughn, 35—getting the onstage smooch. But as she and Vaughn headed back to her home turf after going public with their romance in Chicago two weeks ago, Aniston showed a giddy glow as she leaped back into the social scene. At Oct. 20's Couture Cares fashion show benefiting the Revlon/UCLA Breast Center, "Jennifer was in the greatest mood," says a fellow guest. "She just seemed to be really happy—she was all smiles."
No Vince there either, but the previous night, he and Aniston, 36, quietly slipped into a reopening party for the Friars of Beverly Hills, where his pal Jon Favreau was celebrating his 39th birthday. Both in jeans, Vaughn wrapped his arms around Aniston's waist as they chatted with friends. (Afterward, the two were spotted back at Vaughn's hotel.) Their happiness is much deserved, says Favreau: "They're both great people."

Hey hey bloggeronies! Old Man Robb is here and what is a happening? Well this morning i went over to Greenwood bright and early and had the rest of my Passport papers signed by my Gurantor for my trip to Japan. This included hauling out those ever so nasty looking mugshots which a friend says makes me look like i am heading to Dorchester! Thanks buddy! So what else is new? Well i did make it to the city on Friday, unfortunately i did not get to see my friend who was up from North Sydney for the weekend, so i went over to Banook Lake, or is it Lake Banook? Anyways i spent most of the afternoon tanning (I got me a farmers tan!) and checking out the ladies on the beach! I also went to Mic Mac Mall and strolled around for a bit, had some New York Fries (Heart attack in a cup!) and bought PCU for $6.99!!! Since i cannot get the Frat Boy Collection in Canada due to the rights of Porky's, that was the next best thing to do! Plus i wanna go back to Mic Mac sometime soon because this was the second time in a row where i forgot all about that cool sports stand in the middle of the mall that sells sports stuff for all the major league teams in all the major leagues! NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL!!!! Obscure stuff i wanted from the Minnesota Vikings and New York Islanders of all teams! Plus where else can you find an LA Clippers hat!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? All this chatter about the Rolling Stones coming here to Halifax, which while i travelled to see the Stones the other year, it would turn the Commons into nothing more than a cesspool of garbage and tax payers money will be wasted, sure NB got lots of stuff done to the property, like power and water installed, but it ended up costing the province some $60,000 or something like that, they lost money and that is never ever a good thing. Besides...why are we just copying Moncton anyways? Sure the Stones will draw a crowd, but why don't we have a different act come, just to be ummmm...different? Something like Ozzfest or something like it. Besides Moncton did it first, but remember NB is ahead of us, after all they do have LEGAL Sunday shopping, that was one of the best things about going to Mount A, waking up on Sunday and being able to go grocery shopping a good 5 minute walk up the hill! Mind you i could not eat breakfest on campus till 11:30 on Sundays (Or Saturdays!) but i could go grocery shopping..... For some reason it's fine for me to buy liquor, adult material and gamble, but having grocery stores open is crossing the line..... anyways they really should have the concert at the Shearwater base in the field or something..where on the Commons are they going to put 20,000 Johnny on the spots? Jeesh! It is a mess waiting to happen...did nothing much after work on Saturday except watch Saturday Nights Main Event!?!?!?!?..that show in the 80s was basically the reason for many a sleepover at my place in the Passage..nostalgia! Well this week there is the return of wrestling to the Middleton Arena for the first time since the summer of 2001!!! Cannot wait! Payday is this week also and that is good because i owe this and that and i need to have stuff done! Anyways that is all for now folks! Have a good one!

Mutual of Omaha Long Term Care Insurance Review
Mutual of Omaha offers a large amount of policies and plans that are designed to meet individual needs and budgets. These come with different features that ensure your long term care plan is able to handle future needs. Inflation protection, calendar based elimination periods and its spouse security benefit options are just some of the reasons why Mutual of Omaha's policies should be a top contender for people searching for long term care insurance.
Mutual of Omaha has among the lowest premiums for similar featured plans in our reviews. Its 3 year maximum benefit period for 60 year olds is $100 daily. Enrolling in an inflation protected plan however doubles the amount of yearly premiums for those without inflation protection.
Mutual of Omaha offers a 5 percent compound 20 years cap option that gives you the benefit of a 5 percent compound inflation-protection for 20 years. This is great especially for 60 and 70 year olds who want to preserve the monetary value of their benefits.
Plans Available
State Partnership
Non-tax Qualified Policies
Tax qualified Policies
Types of care covered
Assisted living
Nursing home care
Hospice care
Adult day care centers
Home health care
Waiting Period – Up to 1 year
Maximum Benefit Period – 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 years
Home care – 100 percent cover
Elimination or waiting periods are commonly "service" based. This means that only days where actual care has been rendered are counted in the elimination period. Mutual of Omaha uses the calendar method which basically makes it simple to compute elimination periods. Hence, policy holders are able to enjoy their benefits is a faster and timely fashion.
Mutual of Omaha has another great feature which allows policy holders to provide long term care support for their spouses who fail to qualify for long term care insurance. It rewards you with an additional 60 percent of your monthly benefits.
Another interesting offer from Mutual of Omaha is its Cash Alternative option. This comes in handy especially for people who require long term care but do not necessarily need the services of licensed professionals. By choosing this option, policy holders are able to control the amount of monthly benefits they receive. If care is provided by a friend or family member for example, less expense is incurred thus a lower monthly benefit is needed. Rather than receiving the maximum financial benefits for 3 years, they could stretch this by asking for lower monthly benefits, no receipts and no questions asked.
Financial Rating
A.M. Best – A+
(The company has demonstrated superior overall performance and has a very strong ability to meet its obligations to policyholders over a long period of time.)
One of the first considerations when choosing a Long Term Care service is the company's financial situation. We should remember that these financial instruments are designed to provide help decades into the future and it is important that you work with a stable company that will be around for the long haul. Mutual of Omaha is one such company with solid ratings from AM Best, Standard and Poors and Moody's.

MC seals 10 default commercial houses
A day after Hindustan Times reported the political pressure coming in the way of municipal corporation (MC) authorities collecting house tax from the defaulters, the civic authorities on Wednesday come hard on tax defaulters, sealing as many as 10 commercial establishments at various places.punjab Updated: Oct 30, 2013 20:58 IST
A day after Hindustan Times reported the political pressure coming in the way of municipal corporation (MC) authorities collecting house tax from the defaulters, the civic authorities on Wednesday come hard on tax defaulters, sealing as many as 10 commercial establishments at various places.
Interestingly, the drive was not pre-planned and the house tax officials were briefed instantly in the morning around 11 am to conduct sealing process against the defaulters.
Reacting over the corporation's move, mayor Amarinder Bajaj, who on Tuesday told HT that strict action against the defaulters would be taken after Diwali, on Wednesday said that he had stated so to evade political pressure.
"If I would have told you that we would be taking action before Diwali, more and more defaulters might have approached their possible political connections to delay the action," he said.
"The corporation has no option but to act against the defaulters to recover pending house tax, which has been abolished after implementation of the property tax across Punjab," the mayor added.
On Tuesday, the HT had reported that how defaulters had been using their political connections as safeguard against the MC officials collecting the due house tax over years.
According to Sources with the corporation, a team led by house tax inspector Vishal Syal conducted raids and sealed 10 commercial establishments - three at Leela Bhawan, two at Gurdarshan Nagar, one at Sanauri Adda and four at Guru Nanak Nagar.
Divulging details of the drive, Syal said the defaulters had already been served notices under Section 138 of the Municipal Corporation Act; entails, attaching defaulters' moveable and immovable properties and auctioning for the recovery of the payment. The deadline accor4ding to the notice was October 9, which was over earlier this month, he added.
"Of 10 commercial establishments; two traders paid their pending house tax arrears around Rs 12 lakh (Rs 6.81 lakh and Rs 5.6 lakh) on the spot, following which their shops were reopened," said Syal.
"However, other eight establishments owed around Rs 20-25 lakh jointly to the civic body. These establishments would be reopened only after they clear their payments," he added.
According to sources, the corporation has yet to recover around Rs 1.5 crore from private business houses, residents, and small and large-scale traders. In addition, at least 10 government offices reportedly owed around Rs 3.5 crore to the civic body for over a decade.
Meanwhile, the mayor said the sealing would be continued in coming days with the MC teams had already been directed to tighten noose around the big defaulters.
"Speeding up house tax recovery is need of the hour, as we have to pay salaries to our employees in two days," added the mayor.

SPRINGFIELD — Gov. James Thompson said Saturday night he is willing to approve language in a bill that could clear the way for a multiyear labor contract between the Chicago Board of Education and the Chicago Teachers Union.
If both parties reach a labor agreement, Thompson said, ``the needed wording . . . is already drafted. But any changes in the bill would be of little use if the groups themselves are unwilling to agree to the principle of multiyear contracts.

Following the historic success we shared last November, Iowa Republicans received the mixed blessing of having two of our distinguished State Senators assume vital roles within Governor Branstad's administration. The vacancies created by their departure required the Iowa GOP to defend Republican-held seats in two special elections. We took nothing for granted. The work of our excellent candidates, Joni Ernst and Jack Whitver, coupled with our proven voter program, and close coordination with Senate leaders, helped lead to overwhelming Republican victories in both SD 48 and SD 35.
Our success in each of these elections underscores that our momentum is deep-seated and not symptomatic of a national wave. Iowa Republicans are determined to send conservative leaders to Des Moines to help restore fiscal sanity in state government. These specials are also a testament to the organizational strength of our party. In the 2010 cycle, we made considerable progress in building a political network of volunteers and activists. Both Whitver and Ernst were able to plug in to this network to help turn out Republican voters.
While beleaguered Iowa Democrats will claim both seats were uncompetitive, unwinnable terrain for Democrats, recent history illustrates both seats have a competitive nature. In SD 35, Larry Noble won with only 52% of the vote in 2006, compared to Whitver's commanding 63% win, Tuesday night. In SD 48, the numbers are even more compelling as current Lt. Governor Kim Reynolds was first elected with 53% in 2008, while her successor Ernst earned a whopping 67% of the vote on January 4.
Simply put, what were once Senate seats that merely tilted Republican have now become rock-solid Republican seats. By taking these seats off the table, Iowa Republicans can continue to go on offense against Democrat incumbents as we focus our efforts on winning the two seats necessary for control in 2012.
Early Voting Performance
Following the 2010 midterm elections, which saw an 83% increase in Iowa Republicans' early voting performance, the Iowa GOP used the two special elections to continue improving upon our absentee and early voting program.
With Republicans enjoying a registration advantage in both SD 48 and SD 35, the success of our candidates hinged on our ability to turn out base Republican voters. We used many of the proven tactics from the 2010 cycle to get Republicans to the polls including direct mail and volunteer phone calls. One area we enjoyed particular success over our Democratic counterparts was absentee voting. Our ability to "bank" votes before Election Day in an area where Iowa Democrats have historically enjoyed an advantage meant our candidates had to defend a lead rather than play catch-up.
Here is a look at the disparity in returned ballots between Republicans and Democrats:
- Nearly 6 to 1 GOP advantage in returned absentee ballots in SD 35.
- 3 to 1 GOP advantage in returned absentee ballots in SD 48.
These wins represent more than just two Senate seats. They are the first Republican victories of the 2012 cycle. We will continue to build on this success as we work tirelessly to bring a permanent conservative governing majority to Iowa.

text: I used the leaked RUU this morning, took all of about 5 min from start to finish. LOVE IT. No real issues to speak of like others are talking about. The phone is quicker now, no lag between screens or while dialing. The only thing missing that I can't seem to find to install are the one touch visual photo dialer widgets for favorites and I can't download new HTC widgets like their battery monitor etc. I like the new interface and I'm sure once the whole package roles out that it'll be that much better. I'm not familiar with rooting a phone or doing any custom ROM installs so for those of you that are scared of this update... DON'T BE! It was a piece of cake and my phone works like a charm. Thanks to those who posted the link to the download.

We know the impact that great teachers have on the learning of our young people. Therefore, we strive to recruit and retain the best educational professionals. We are looking for educators who will challenge and motivate our students, with their varied learning needs and styles, to achieve their very best. Matching the commitment and energy that we expect from our teachers, our hope is that work at IST will be stimulating and rewarding.
We seek teachers who are passionate about educating young minds and who can demonstrate resourcefulness and flexibility. Tanzania is a wonderful country, with outstanding opportunities for individuals and families; life here does, however, have its challenges as well as joys. Teachers who thrive here tend to be active and intrepid and are often called upon to show a good sense of humour. To learn more about where former IST teachers are today, read IST's Professional Network.
On a practical level, we require our teachers to have relevant teaching credentials and excellent communication skills in English. We seek clear commitment to our school's values of responsibility, inquiry, compassion, balance and diversity. We have a strong preference for candidates who have experience with the International Baccalaureate and who have worked successfully in a culturally diverse environment in a less developed country. Our teachers are expected to be able to use ICT effectively in their teaching.
IST takes child protection extremely seriously and always follows up with reference checks, including from the candidate's current employer. In addition, all IST employees agree to our employee Code of Conduct, which can be read here. Candidates are encouraged to review the information for Elementary applicants and Secondary applicants in advance of applying. Tanzanian law requires those teachers and administrators who need a work permit to be under age 55 at the time of applying for her/his first permit to work in Tanzania.
Student learning is the highest priority at IST. The most effective learning happens in a context in which students feel understood, safe and confident. Teaching and learning at IST follows a constructivist approach, where students actively shape their understanding in interaction with teachers and peers. Effective learning requires students to be engaged, motivated and inspired by their teachers, peers and environment, as well as intrinsically. Motivation increases when students have choice and control over their learning in authentic contexts. Students must master core skills and acquire substantive knowledge, which are necessary for the active, critical, and inquiry-based learning we value.Students learn more effectively when teachers actively promote a growth mindset, purposefully fostering perseverance, practice and hard work in their students.
IST believes that support and challenge maximise the potential of each individual student. All students are capable of making educational progress when they are appropriately supported and challenged. Therefore teachers at IST challenge students to continuously grow in their understanding and skills. IST supports a diverse range of learning needs, as students come to us with various levels of readiness, learning support needs and interests. Working with diverse classmates enriches our students' education and prepares them for life. It is vital that all students receive prompt, clear feedback about their performance, with a focus on how to improve. It is also essential that students have ongoing opportunities to communicate their experience of the teaching and learning process to their teachers.
Teaching and learning at IST promote international-mindedness by aiming to develop students' sense of identity as global as well as national citizens. The curriculum contributes to this by stimulating students' curiosity about the world and commitment to solving its problems. Students benefit from working with classmates and teachers from diverse cultural backgrounds.
To implement this teaching and learning philosophy, IST follows IB curriculum programmes in the Elementary and Secondary years, as defined by the International Baccalaureate Organisation. The curriculum is balanced and holistic, providing varied opportunities for students to learn and demonstrate their learning. It enables students to gain understanding and skills in ways that are disciplinary, trans-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary. It encourages students to be reflective and to act upon their learning.
There are no openings at this time.

Interim AA1000 board to be appointed for one yearMay 2011
An open invitation has been issued to 'interested stakeholders' who might want to serve on an Interim Standards Board for the AA1000 series of standards.
The new seven-member board will serve for a period of one year and will have a mandate to establish a permanent board by May 2012. The Interim Standards Board replaces the Voluntary Standards Board whose nine members resigned en masse earlier this year in protest at what they saw as threats to the independence of the standards posed by AccountAbility, the UK-based body that established them (EP12, issue 9, p1).
AccountAbility said the decision to move ahead with an interim board was reached after 'a series of discussions with AA1000 stakeholders over the past several weeks'.
Roger Adams, director of special assignments for ACCA, the UK Association of Certified Chartered Accountants, will serve as independent chair of a committee that will oversee the nomination process.
The interim board will provide oversight and guidance on the strategy and development of the AA1000 series of standards, while AccountAbility will continue to act as the secretariat and steward of AA1000 and have responsibility for financial and business matters.
The nominations process has been open for one month, and the closing date has been set for 6 May.

I own G S6. It drains the battery fast in standby and gets hot even if I don´t use it. In under 19 hours S6 is below 30%. When I use it, it becomes burning hot and the battery life is reduced to under 6 to 7 hours. I hope there in future will be a OS update there solve this. Because it is a amazing mobile. My iPhone 6Plus from 100% battery life to 27% in 6 days at standby and at heavy use 17 hours from 100% to 29%. My iPhone 6Plus is amazing to. Both full fill there individual purposes, G S6 as extra screen and remote Switch to my NFC and WIFI controlled cameras and 6Plus as my pocket homeoffice ;)
Great camera with a embedded mobile phone.
I had never understand Nikon and Canon and there concepts, there marketing is I am Nikon and a Canon is a pro and they use DSLR. They forget that people for more than a decade has used well designed cell phones with cameras there is easy to use, I had from DSLR to my Nokia 920 and everyone of them is my best camera but I prefer my mirrorless camera it is like my phone easy to use and carry on. Often when I see the DSLR´s on my walks it is hanging from the neck on teen girls as a jewelry, or a old man as a status symbol and I as my own little observations I had follow them, to see if they take pictures with the DSLR´s no they don´t use there big bulky cameras, they use often there cellphone, they are as I write before easy to use and gives them a decent picture they can share and show immediately to there friends.
I just want the new VF-4
All talk about noise from the IS but it has never annoyed me all mechanical things has some noise and in a 5 axis IS there will be noise.
For me it is important thats it feels like Olympus has done something so my camera has the right response time on the bottom's

2013 Tokyo Motor Show Live – Toyota FCV Concept
I'm the Founder & CEO of IndianAutosBlog.com. I love teamwork and talking about cars.
The Toyota FCV Concept, that previews a production model to launch in 2015, is on view at the Tokyo Motor Show.
The hydrogen-powered four-seat sedan measures 4.87m long, 1.81m wide, 1.53m tall with a wheelbase of 2.78m. When it meets production, the vehicle will have a range of at least 500 km with refueling times comparable to a gasoline vehicle – three minutes.
The exterior is designed to evoke the main characteristics of a fuel cell model – conversion of air into water, and the powerful acceleration from an electric motor. To signify these characteristics, Toyota has used a bold front-end, pronounced air intakes, a sleek side view and a wave-motif fuel cap. The rear view is designed to represent a catamaran's stern and the flow of water behind.
The car's drivertrain is made of a light-weight fuel cell stack that has a power output density of 3 kW/L and an output of at least 100 KW, two 70 Mpa high-pressure hydrogen tanks, and motors that are smaller than current types thanks to increased voltage.
Toyota adds that on one tank of hydrogen, the FCV can provide the electricity needed by an average Japanese household for more than a week.

For Swedish press release version – click here!
Scroll down to see menu: "Images".
Many offices look good –on picture. But as soon as you enter them you are met by a cacophony; sounds of fans mixed with voices, ringtones, and echoing footsteps. At Abstracta, we are committed to the task of creating solutions for more pleasant soundscapes, while at the same time adding visual character to the space. For us, there is no conflict between functionality and aesthetics. We are proud to collaborate with some of the most renowned designers in Scandinavia, and we are happy to present our news for 2017.
COMBO CROSS, design Pia Wallén – separate press release – click here!
AIRBLOOM, design Stefan Borselius
Nature, with its shifting seasons and manifold of forms, is the source of inspiration for Air –Stefan Borselius' influential concept, developed in collaboration with Abstracta. Hitherto, Stefan Borselius has investigated objects such as snowflakes, cones and leaves. Now, the turn has come to the blooming flower, the most iconic sign of summer. Airbloom is made of moulded felt and is available in 30 colours –the modules can be combined into hanging sound absorbent screens in an infinite number of sizes and shapes.
STITCH, design Stefan Borselius
Whereas Airbloom is thin and light, the screen Stitch is thick and cosy. "The inspiration comes from sofas, cushions, and padded down jackets", says Stefan Borselius. Stitch is an exceptional sound absorber in a friendly and welcoming design. In 2017, Stich is also available as a table screen.
SCALA, design Anya Sebton
Scala is a playful paraphrase on corrugated iron, designed by Anya Sebton. With its wave-shaped moulded felt, Scala offers a simple and imaginative way to efficiently reduce the level of noise and to add character to the space. This year, three new versions of Scala are introduced: a floor screen, a table screen, and a hanging room divider. The new screens are covered by felt on both sides. For the floor- and the table screens, Anya Sebton has developed stands, composed by steel pipes, which highlight the spontaneous manner of the design.
MYHIVE, design Poul Christiansen
"Flexibility" is a keyword for Poul Christiansen's elegant and simplistic concept My Hive –a hexagon-shaped workstation with height-adjustable desk. The desks are made to be combined together into dynamic patterns. Now, Poul Christiansen introduces a more spacious, rectangular desk to the concept, thus making the system even more flexible. Just like before, the table-top is integrated into the sound absorbent screens, and both the cables and the mechanism for adjusting height are hidden.
DRAFT, design Daniel Lavonius Jerefeldt och Josef Zetterman (Tengbom)
We are also happy to present the new model of the mobile writing board Draft, with a magnetic white surface for writing on the one side, and a beautiful corkboard on the other. Below the screen is a simplistic drawer in oak. Draft is thoughtfully designed by Daniel Lavonius Jarefeldt and Josef Zetterman (Tengbom architects), with the aim to encourage creativity and spontaneous meetings.
About Abstracta
"With knowledge and experience Abstracta develops products for an inspiring workplace."
As a pioneer in the field of acoustics, Abstracta has embraced the growing interest in sound absorption and more efficient working environments. Unlike visual landscapes, soundscapes can't be seen. Sound doesn't disappear when we close our eyes. The soundscapes that surround us are perpetual and affect us more than we think. Abstracta has used this as its starting point and, combined with the company's knowledge in this area, has developed products that create effective soundscapes for different office environments. Abstracta is a Swedish company with its own factory in Småland which is home to both production and development. The company has been operating since 1972 and about 50 percent of production is currently exported worldwide. Abstracta is part of Lammhults Design Group.

Munich/Hinwil, 15th May 2009. The Monaco Grand Prix is both a relic of the past and a highlight of the Formula One calendar. Guests and teams alike will be looking to put on impressive displays around the narrow streets of the principality from 21st to 24th May.
Nowhere else do the drivers complete so many laps of the circuit (78), yet the race distance here is the shortest of any Formula One GP. The tightness of the track makes this an unforgiving place for the drivers: errors are punished with damaged cars, a successful overtaking manoeuvre is worthy of a knighthood, not just a place up the rankings. A good grid position is vital in Monaco, and qualifying is a correspondingly tense affair.
The BMW Sauber F1 Team is heading in an obvious direction. Extensive improvements were made to the F1.09 following a disappointing start to the season, and the Spanish Grand Prix pointed to an upward trend. A sudden leap to the front of the grid is not a realistic aim in Formula One, but the team's positive progression is set to continue. The characteristics of the Monaco circuit present the teams with challenges they will encounter nowhere else during the course of the season, which adds additional intrigue to the question of performance.
Robert Kubica:
"I'm a big fan of street circuits, so I'm looking forward to the race in Monaco. I always have a really good feeling going into the weekend here and enjoy driving between the barriers and walls. There is no margin for error, which makes things particularly interesting. Of course, you can't tell in advance how the 2009-spec cars will feel there with the new aerodynamics and slick tyres. We'll find out more on Thursday."
Nick Heidfeld:
"Monaco is one of the highlights of the season. It's crazy that the venue least suited to Formula One is also the most popular. The tight and twisty street circuit is brilliant. Only Macau is comparable, but we don't drive there in Formula One.
"There may be a bit less hype nowadays, but the Formula One weekend in Monte Carlo is still something special. It's all about Formula One and parties. There are a lot of famous people around, the harbour is packed with yachts, the sound of the F1 engines reverberates across the principality, and the track is jammed with crowds of people through the evening. In Monaco the spectators get closer to the action than at any other venue. For me, every time I come here it's a wonderful sight.
"On a few occasions already this season, the new, larger front wings have proved to be a bit awkward in the tight confines at the start of races. It's extremely tight through the first corner in Monte Carlo, so there's a big risk of knocking your front wing off against another car."
Mario Theissen, BMW Motorsport Director:
"We are currently experiencing an extremely demanding period for Formula One - both as a team on the race track and behind the scenes. In both cases, the important thing is to keep a cool head. We lined up at the Spanish Grand Prix with a far-reaching aerodynamic package. That was the result of some extremely hard work, but represents just the first step on a long road. We scored two points, which was extremely positive following the low-point we reached in Bahrain but clearly does not meet our aims. We will step up our pace of development. Monaco presents very specific challenges, as we all know, and the next performance package for the race in Istanbul is already being prepared.
"Monaco is one of the mainstays of Formula One and one of the circuits, alongside the Nurburgring, Spa, Monza and Silverstone, which has made the sport great. Monaco is Formula One up close and personal. Only street circuits like the one in the principality can bring the spectators so near to the action. This is the most famous and glamorous grand prix of the year. The yachts, the parties, the show business - nowhere are they such an integral part of the Formula One experience as in Monaco.
"In sporting terms, the important thing in Monaco is driving precision, mechanical grip and an engine with good drivability at low revs. Monaco has the lowest average speed of any grand prix. High levels of downforce are more important here than low drag, and the cars' aerodynamics are therefore adjusted to generate maximum downforce. There are no long straights at this circuit, but it does have a lot of slow corners and the tyres are subjected to exceptionally high loads under acceleration out of these corners. Monaco is also a test of endurance for the brakes. The speeds the cars reach may not be very high, but that means there is also a lack of cooling airflow."
Willy Rampf, Head of Engineering:
"Monaco has the lowest average speed of any circuit on the calendar, so we run maximum downforce on the cars. In the past, this meant that the teams often produced aerodynamic configurations which you didn't see anywhere else - with small and also larger auxiliary wings sprouting out of the cars. That's now a thing of the past, though, as the 2009 regulations no longer permit these kinds of modifications. As a result, the cars will run a similar amount of downforce to last weekend in Barcelona.
"The large number of tight corners in Monaco places a particular emphasis on grip, and we have prepared a specially optimised spring and damper set-up in response to this. The circuit is open to public traffic between practice sessions, which represents a particular challenge with the negative impact on grip levels. This means that the conditions - and therefore lap times - improve significantly in a short space of time as more rubber is laid down during the course of each practice session. The car's steering lock is adjusted to the demands of the circuit; after all, Monaco has the tightest corner of any Formula One venue."
History and background:
Among the many peculiarities of the Monaco Grand Prix is the schedule for the race weekend: the Formula One engines traditionally remain switched off on the Friday, which is why the first two free practice sessions are held on Thursday.
Monaco has hosted 55 grands prix since 1950. The track's distance has fluctuated between 3.145 kilometres and 3.370 km. For the first 14 GPs the race distance covered 100 laps. The most successful driver in Monaco to date remains Ayrton Senna with six wins.
There have only been garages for the cars alongside the pit lane in Monaco since 2004. Before this for each practice and qualifying session, and the race teams had to push the cars back and forth between makeshift garages in the paddock or an underground car park.
Covering an area of 1.97 square kilometres, Monaco is the world's second smallest independent state after the Vatican and the most densely populated - 33,300 people live here. It is divided into ten districts: Monte Carlo, La Condamine, Fontvieille, Larvotto, Moneghetti, Saint Michel, Monaco Ville, La Rousse/Saint Roman, La Colle and Les Revoires.

* Q2 DVD rev growth slows
* Q2 EPS $0.39 vs est $0.33
* Q2 rev $342.4 mln vs est $381.5 mln
* Shares fall 12 pct in post-market trade
July 29 (Reuters) - Redbox owner Coinstar Inc (CSTR.O) posted weak quarterly revenue and cut its full-year revenue outlook as the sales growth in its DVD business slowed, sending its shares down 12 percent in extended trade.
Revenue growth at the primary DVD segment -- about 80 percent of total sales -- slipped to 44 percent in the second quarter, down from the 99 percent growth last year and 70 percent growth last quarter.
Coinstar has shifted focus to its fast-growing DVD rental kiosk business, and has shed some non-core businesses recently in a bid to top competition from the DVD rental businesses of Netflix (NFLX.O) and Blockbuster Inc BBI.N.
Last week, Netflix also posted weak quarterly revenue as many new subscribers signed up for lower-priced plans that offer unlimited streaming. [ID:nSDN211075]
DVD rental companies have been moving to Web video subscription from physical DVD distribution, as customers opt to stream movies and TV shows rather than order discs via mail.
The company, which recently sold its electronic payment services business, said it now expects 2010 revenue of $1.43 billion to $1.51 billion, compared with its previous view of $1.53 billion to $1.63 billion.
Coinstar, however, raised its 2010 profit outlook range by 6 cents to a new range of $1.88 to $2.00 a share.
Coinstar, which also operates coin-counting machines, posted an almost two-fold increase in second-quarter net income to $13.4 million, or 41 cents a share. Income from continuing operations was 39 cents a share.
Revenue rose 35 percent to $342.4 million. [ID:nASA00L0B]
Analysts on an average were expecting earnings of 33 cents a share, excluding items, and revenue of $381.5 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Shares of Bellevue, Washington-based Coinstar, which have risen more than 85 percent in the last six months, were trading down $3.89 at $44.20 in extended trade. They closed at $48.09 Thursday on Nasdaq. (Reporting by Sayantani Ghosh and Anurag Kotoky in Bangalore; Editing by Maju Samuel and Savio D'Souza)
