Dead Torch 9810
My daughters torch just died on Monday. Would not boot and red light. I have reviewed posts for the entire holidays and tried everything. I believe the unit was not completing boot. I have downloaded BB Desk Software and what I thought to be OS for the device. I have tried everything-wiped complete BB-downloaded OS-removed vendor-changed laptops-downloaded BBSAK
I can not get Desk software to find OS. When I go to applications on software it says the OS is required.
The torch is an unlocked Rogers canadian phone.
I am not getting any errors on the screen. Just keyboard lights up. I dont think there is damage to the screen beacause when it is plugged in with no battery it shows the battery with red x.
I know I am doing something wrong but I cant figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is the second BB in 3 months. - 12-26-2012, 02:44 PM #2
have you tried removing the vendor tag from the update pack?
Dead Torch 9810
Try to change the battery. I had exact same problem on my Torch 9810.
You may notice the old battery "spins" on a flat table, because the center is bulging.
Let us know if that was the culprit.
Sent from my BlackBerry 9810 using Crackberry Tapatalk Forum app - 12-26-2012, 05:33 PM #4
Run vendelete,exe to get rid of any vendor files in hidden places. If you are on windows 8 run as administrator or it won't delete anything.
Update to latest blackberry desktop manager.
Try connecting the 9810 to the computer with no battery installed in the phone, and it'll get to a point where it won't proceed with install until you put battery in, just put it in while staying connected and install will proceed. - 12-26-2012, 05:36 PM #5
Instead of starting a new thread, you should post in the ones that you are following instructions on how to fix a nuked BB or which ever one you are trying. Saying you tried everything is not helpful in a new thread. Those threads for the nuked BBs have specific steps, so you need to post your problems there.
PLEASE STOP WITH THE LONG POSTS! YOU'RE BORING US. - 12-27-2012, 07:21 AM Thread Author #6
I gave up for the night. I left the BB plugged into the laptop which had went to sleep. When I woke this morning the agreement page was on the BB. I disconnected it from the computer and set up the wireless connection. I was inputing the BB id and pass word and it froze. Within 2 minutes the screen went black and I am back where I started. I tryed to spin the battery on the table as suggested but no bulges.
Thanks for everyones help over the holidays. Sorry I posted in the wrong spot I will know better next time as I think I may be spending alot of time here. I had no idea how much information was shared on these forums, Awesome job! - 12-27-2012, 04:49 PM Thread Author #7
replaced battery and still nothing
Had the same problem when updated to 7.1: red light and constant rebooting. Didn't even show the BB logo or loading bar.
My solution was to connect to desktop manager (DM) and wait for the phone to be recognized by the software, an error message popped up, clicked "repair", "update", "other versions". I don't remember exactly the sequence but was something like that. It took about 5 or 6 times for the DM to recognize the phone. Hope it works for you. - 01-02-2013, 11:30 AM Thread Author #9
I have wiped the BB and reinstalled OS numerous times. Wiped with BBSAK and reinstalled with apploader. I have used vendelete and removed vendor files. When apploader says install was successful the BB starts to play music and then stops. At no time does anything appear on the screen. The battery is charged 100%. Anyone have any ideas?

Serial killer Jerome Brudos was born on January 31, 1939, in Webster, South Dakota. Troubled from an early age, Brudos abducted and beat a woman at age 17. After high school, he married and settled in the area of Salem, Oregon. His crimes escalated and he eventually murdered four women, keeping grisly trophies from his victims and dressing in their clothing. Brudos, known as the "The Lust Killer" was apprehended in 1969 and died in prison in 2006.
Troubled Childhood
Serial killer Jerome Henry Brudos was born on January 31, 1939, in South Dakota. Known as the Lust Killer, Jerome Brudos murdered several women in the Salem, Oregon area in the late 1960s. His family moved around a few times while he was growing up, spending time in Oregon, California, and South Dakota. The youngest of two boys, Brudos had a strained relationship with his overbearing mother.
Brudos discovered a pair of high-heeled shoes in a junkyard when he was five years old, marking the beginning of his fascination with women's footwear. When his mother found him wearing the shoes, she took them away and destroyed them. His fetish for women's shoes continued to grow, and he later stole women's underwear from neighboring homes. As he grew, he developed a dark fantasy life, which involved violence against women. Brudos began acting on these disturbed thoughts.
Violent Fetishes
At the age of 17, he threatened a teenage girl with a knife and forced her to take off her clothes. Brudos then took photos of her naked body. (Some reports also indicate that he also beat her, while others indicate that he assaulted another young woman who rejected him.) For his crimes, he spent some time in Oregon State Hospital's psychiatric ward, but he was still able to attend school during the day.
After high school, Brudos eventually became an electronics technician. There are some reports that he also spent time in the military, but was discharged for his bizarre obsessions. Around the age of 22, Brudos married and moved to Portland, Oregon. The couple had two children. Despite this seemingly pleasant domestic life, Brudos continued to explore his fetishes, sneaking into other people's homes to take women's underwear.
Brudos is believed to have attacked a woman in 1967. In May of that year, he targeted a woman because he liked her shoes and followed her home. Brudos went into her house after she went to sleep. After strangling her to the point of unconsciousness, he raped her. He then left, taking some of her shoes with him. Brudos was not connected to this crime until much later.
On January 26th, 1968, Linda Slawson, a young encyclopedia saleswoman, paid a visit to Brudos's home. He pretended to be interested in buying a set, but he had more sinister intentions. Brudos later admitted that he hit her in the head and then strangled her to death. After her death, he kept the body for a time, dressing it up in women's undergarments. Brudos also removed one of her feet so that he could put high-heeled shoes on it from his collection.

At the Forge - jQuery
Most of my Web development work in the past few years has been in the Ruby language in general and the Ruby on Rails framework in particular. Rails comes with a high-quality JavaScript library called Prototype, and I have written several columns describing how to use Prototype, as well as the Scriptaculous effects library that builds upon its language improvements.
Prototype isn't going away. But, over the past few months, I've noticed a growing interest—from within the Rails community and from other developer communities as well—in jQuery, another high-quality, open-source JavaScript toolkit. Most significant, jQuery was chosen by Microsoft as the official JavaScript library for its developers. jQuery also has a large number of ready-made plugins, including many that provide user-interface functionality. And, as I've started to explore jQuery, I'm beginning to think that its fans have a point, and I've even started to consider switching some of my work away from Prototype to jQuery.
What makes jQuery so special and different? What does it offer? And, how can you integrate it into your applications? This month, I try to answer all of these questions, as we explore some of the basic features of jQuery. Next month, we'll look at some of the UI widgets that jQuery provides to spruce up our sites and make them more functional.
jQuery was first released in 2006, based on preliminary work that John Resig had done since August 2005, as a simple JavaScript library that would make it more convenient to develop Web applications. Over time, it has grown to include many contributors. Resig himself has written two books on JavaScript and now works for the Mozilla corporation as a JavaScript evangelist.
If you have used Prototype previously, you won't be surprised to know that $() is not only a legitimate function name in JavaScript, but it's also used extensively within jQuery. However, $() works differently in jQuery than in Prototype. In Prototype, you can say:
$('foo') // Prototype
to get the elements with id attributes of foo and bar. The number of parameters to Prototype's $() determines whether it returns a single value or an array, as well as how many elements that returned array contains.
Prototype also lets you retrieve items using CSS selectors (and a variety of pseudo-selectors), using the $$() function. For example:
$$('tr.even') // Prototype
returns an array (and always an array, even if it matches only a single object) of all of the tr tags with a class of even.
Well, jQuery works similarly, except that it has only a single function, $(). That function is smart enough to recognize what you want, based on a single CSS-style selector that you give it. (And yes, you may specify only a single selector.) However, id attributes need to begin with a # character, as is the case in CSS. Thus, you can say:
$('#foo') // jQuery
to get all the tags (and there should be only one such tag) that have an id attribute of foo, and:
$('tr.even') // jQuery
jjquery website
I think it should be www.jquery.com (not .org as in the article)
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Value of Metformin, Insulin Combo for Type 2 Diabetes Questioned
THURSDAY, April 19 (HealthDay News) -- It's not clear whether patients with type 2 diabetes gain any long-term benefit from taking the blood sugar-lowering drug metformin and insulin together rather than insulin alone.
That's the conclusion of Danish researchers who reviewed data from 23 clinical trials involving more than 2,200 patients over the age of 18.
Reporting online April 19 in the BMJ, they found that taking metformin plus insulin leads to better blood sugar control, less weight gain and less need for insulin.
However, the researchers also noted that the clinical trials provided little information about long-term patient outcomes, such as the total numbers of deaths and deaths from cardiovascular disease.
This means that more clinical trials are needed to determine the long-term benefits and harms of the combination, specifically the risks of premature death.
The researchers, led by Bianca Hemmingsen of the Center for Clinical Intervention Research in Copenhagen, also believe that the combination of metformin and insulin raises the odds for severe low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), so further study is needed to assess the long-term benefits and harms of this regimen.
Currently, metformin is recommended in guidelines for type 2 diabetes patients starting on insulin.
One expert in the United States took issue with the findings.
"It certainly seems like a controversial statement since all our treatment is based on metformin with additional meds [insulin or otherwise] added when the blood sugar is no longer controlled and based on what an individual patient might need," said Dr. Mary Ann Banerji, director of the Diabetes Treatment Center at the State University of New York Downstate Medical Center, in New York City.
She added that, "I am unaware that there is more hypoglycemia with metformin plus insulin compared to insulin alone, since presumably one would not be put on insulin unless it was needed and other modalities [treatments] tried."

Free Spirit
"My daughter, Annali, has always had a bold and brazen and adventurous spirit. She has never been one to shy away from exploration (sometimes to my chagrin!). And this is the reason that I love this picture. It captures Annali's extroverted and fearless nature. We were upstate, and she had just cut her brow and cheek from jumping across a stream and slipping on a rock. We then decided to go on a nature walk using the magnifying glass that we had for 'tick checks.' Annali grabbed the magnifying glass, and she and her good friend Nova, took off in the long grass looking for what? Nature, adventure, freedom. It doesn't really matter. This picture captures, for me, the free spirits that children are, by nature, and Annali's way of grabbing the moment and going for it..."

The Brunswick Corporation, formerly known as the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company, is a United States-based corporation that has been involved in manufacturing a wide variety of products since 1845. Brunswick's global headquarters is in the northern Chicago suburb of Lake Forest, Illinois. In 2011, it had sales of US$3.748 billion with net earnings of $71.9 million.[1]
Brunswick was founded by John Moses Brunswick who came to the United States from Switzerland at the age of 15. The J. M. Brunswick Manufacturing Company opened for business on September 15, 1845, in Cincinnati, Ohio. Originally J. M. Brunswick intended his company to be mainly in the business of making carriages, but soon after opening his machine shop, he became fascinated with billiards and decided that making billiard tables would be more lucrative, as the better tables then in use in the United States were imported from England. Brunswick billiard tables were a commercial success, and the business expanded and opened up the first of what would become many branch offices in Chicago, Illinois in 1848. It was later renamed J. M. Brunswick & Brother by 1871, after a family member came on board, and the company's rather hyperbolic slogan at this time was: "The oldest and most extensive billiard table manufacturers in the United States".[2]
In 1873, the Brunswick company merged with competitor Great Western Billiard Manufactory owned by Julius Balke to become the Brunswick & Balke Company, incorporated with a capital stock of $275,000. In 1884, another competitor, H. W. Collender Company of New York (founded by Hugh W. Collender), was absorbed to form the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company (or B.B.C. Company for short[3]) with capital of $1.5 million.
The company expanded into making a number of other products. Large ornate neo-classical style bars for saloons were a popular product. Bowling balls, pins, and equipment led a growing line of sporting equipment. It popularized bowling balls of manufactured materials, vulcanized rubber at first; earlier bowling balls had been solid wood.
In the early 20th century, Brunswick expanded the product line to include such diverse products as toilet seats, automobile tires, and phonographs. In the late 1910s, they introduced a quickly-popular line of disc phonograph records, under the name Brunswick Records. In 1930, Brunswick sold the control of the record company to Warner Brothers and came out with a line of refrigerators.
During World War II, Brunswick-Balke-Collender made small target-drone aircraft for the U.S. military.
After the war, Brunswick introduced a line of school furniture.
In 1955, the Brunswick "Model A" Mechanical Pinsetter fully automated unit premiered, for the purpose of handling bowling pins for the sport of tenpins, in competition with American Machine and Foundry (AMF). Previously, Brunswick had made two models of semi-automated, manually operated "spotting tables" for the tenpin sport, that the "Model A" unit replaced. The decade also saw the introduction of a line of golfing equipment to compete with AMF in the leisure products and sporting goods markets.
The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company officially changed its name to the Brunswick Corporation on April 10, 1960. The following year the company reported sales of $422 million. Brunswick acquired Mercury Marine in 1961. In the 1970s, Brunswick introduced the automatic scorer, which electronically tallied the score instead of the bowler doing it by hand.
In the 1980s, Brunswick became a major maker of yachts and pleasure boats, whose brands include Bayliner, Boston Whaler, Maxum, Sea Ray, and Trophy.
During the Gulf War, Brunswick supplied the military with camouflage nets. They also made radomes for the Patriot missile.
In 1997, Brunswick purchased the Roadmaster bicycle division, one of the last U.S. manufacturers of low-cost, mass-market bicycles. However, it became apparent that continued U.S. manufacture of such products was not viable in the presence of surging low-priced imports from overseas producers, primarily China. In 1999, Brunswick sold its Roadmaster bicycle division and brand to Pacific Cycle, who went on to acquire several U.S. bicycle brands for use on bicycles imported from China.
On Nov 30, 2001, Brunswick Corporation completed the acquisition of Hatteras Yachts, Inc. from Genmar Industries, Inc. for approximately $80 million in cash.[4]
Recent events[edit]
As of the early 21st century, the Brunswick Corporation still manufactures sporting and fitness equipment (Life Fitness, Hammer Strength, Parabody) in addition to boats (Sea Ray, Bayliner, Maxum, etc.) and marine engines under the Mercury Marine brand name.
In 2004, Brunswick acquired Lowe Boats. The same year, the company also purchased Northstar Technologies, a leading marine electronics provider based in Acton, Massachusetts, from Canadian Marconi Corporation (now CMC Electronics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Esterline Technologies Corporation). Brunswick then merged Navman, based in Auckland, New Zealand, with Northstar to make Northstar/Navman a supplier to the Brunswick Boat Groups. Brunswick also acquired Mx-Marine. When George Buckley, CEO at the time, left to join 3M in 2006, new leadership decided to sell Northstar, Navman and Mx-Marine. Navico now owns those three brands in addition to the Eagle, Lowrance, B&G, and Simrad lines.
On November 9, 2006, the company announced that it was closing two plants and downsizing the workforce by 650 employees, citing slow demand for new boats. Numerous other layoffs occurred prior to this in the Brunswick New Technologies division.
Brunswick reports that in the past five years, their international sales have grown at twice the rate of domestic sales. It has established regional headquarters in Verviers, Belgium; Monterrey, Dandenong, Australia; and Dubai to better serve its customers by designing, engineering, manufacturing and distributing products based on local needs, using local talent.[5]

Joseph Lieberman, a bronchial mush-mouth of a man, the sort of power-mad mediocrity who can make an old bar Mitzvah like myself pull down the moldy copy of The Protocols and think, "Hey, maybe there's something to this," has once again self-plagiarized in the pages of The Wall Street Tattler, penning another self-same article asking for more patience, more national reticence, and a few more liters of Iraqi blood to bake into the national matzoh. But seriously. No, that was seriously.
Glenn Greenwald, almost as predictable in his dry outrage as Joeseph Free-Man in his mild-mannered death cultism, is on the case. Comme d'habitude, his analysis is meticulous, well-structured, cogent, responsible, researched, and wrong. At some length:
Many Americans believed before that we did have an effective strategy designed to preserve security in Iraq and that this strategy was working because people like Joe Lieberman assured them that this was true. Yet now he is claiming that everything has changed in Iraq because, for the first time, we have a strategy for preserving security. The logical conclusion from assembling his own statements is that the assurances he gave in the past were simple lies.To bump into these paragraphs after the dull exposition devoted to Liebraman's recycled prose is to experience in some slight way the feeling of waking up from anesthesia with the surgeon still jiggling your heart in his hand. Here is my question:
It's one thing for people like Joe Lieberman to have spent almost a full year prior to the invasion spewing one falsehood after the next about the state of Iraq's military capabilities, its relationship to Al-Qaeda, and the likely effects of our invasion. But the absolute deceit of the American people by the Joe Liebermans in this country extends -- in both duration and substance -- far beyond merely those pre-war claims.
George Bush was re-elected, and Americans tolerated the occupation of Iraq long after it was clear that things had gone terribly awry, because the Joe Liebermans in our country continuously lied about what was taking place there, falsely assuring Americans that things were going well, that we were on the precipice of success, that the press accounts of the violence and chaos there were fiction and were merely the by-product of a politically biased media seeking to embarrass the President by concealing the great progress we were making -- progress which Lieberman insisted he witnessed himself during his visit.
What is the source of this bottomless confidence in the essential goodness of "Americans" or "many Americans," or "the American people"; on what basis do we arrive at this claim that but for the lies told to them by their less-than-noble, less-than-honest patriarchs, these American people would rise up in recognition of their current transgressions and past sins, retreat, and resolve not to repeat the shameful crimes of empire, forever and ever, on earth as it is in heaven, hallelujah, amen?
Because it is not at all obvious to me that Americans, such as they are, give one good goddamn or one high-flying fuck about a "strategy designed to preserve security in Iraq." "Security in Iraq" is not their concern. "Security in America" is their concern--that's why they acquiesce with nary a whimper to every security-vs.-liberty argument put forward by their governors (to Greenwald's eternal chagrin and confusion), and that is why they support wars to kill the wogs who killed the World Trade Center. That there are many varieites of wogs, and that none of the wogs currently involved in our conflict participated in "the events of 9/11," and that within worldwide woggery there is currently a vast, vicious religious war--none of these things occur to "many Americans." Many Americans reelected George W. Bush and "tolerated the occupation of Iraq" because it accorded with their narrow, slack-jawed, country-music ideology of "let's roll." For good measure, George W. Bush indulged them in their fears of faggots, niggers, and spics. That is why he was elected. For the same reason every crass, pseudo-bumpkin autocrat gets himself elected: by recognizing that nativism, resentment, fear, and racism are the roots of politics; by governing with a program designed to deepen the rot and cause such resentments to fester.
If tomorrow or the next day, George W. Bush decides to begin a campaign against Iran, and it seems icreasingly near and certainly inevitable, then the cable news networks will go back to Crisis:Iran subtitles, the generals will come back on to babble about strategy, the yellow-ribbon magnets will reassert themselves, the nominal opposition will fall back in line, the "failure" in Iraq will fade from the front of our collective consciousness, and however much the libbloggers cry that the dauphin's poll ratings remain mired below 40%, not one person who matters will pay them no nevermind. If Israel, Dog help us, gets involved, then the libbloggers will simply remain conspicuously (or inconspicuously) silent.
I have been asked a number of times why it is that I don't use what meager skills I have to propose a positive program to rectify our national shames and shortcomings. Why don't I offer some way "to change it?" Why don't I "do something?" Why aren't I "productive?" I've given plenty of answers, some truer than others. But here is a more honest answer, the most honest I can give: I'm not especially convinced that Americans, many Americans, the American people, or America deserve anything other than what they're about to get. To put it another way: I'm not an evangelist about anything, and I'm not of the opinion than everyone can or should be saved.

More Evidence Rex Ryan Is An Absolute Moron
Recently Rex Ryan addressed the situation involving the trade rumors where Darrell Revis is concerned. He made his comment during Day 1 of the NFL Combine. Once again he showed what a monumental idiot he is with his response to the questions about the Revis trade rumors. Below is an excerpt from Ryan's comment in an article by sports writer Peter Schrager of FoxSports.com. If someone wanted Revis on their fantasy team and therefore started this rumor as Rex is saying...WHAT THE HELL DOES IT MATTER IF HE IS A JET OR PLAYING FOR SOMEONE ELSE? My God, I actually kind of feel kind of sorry for Jets fans, and that's saying alot consdidering I'm a long time Giants fan.
This just continues to prove what a poor choice this clown is for a head coaching job. There are only 32 head coaching slots in the NFL ON THE PLANET!!!! And yet somehow the Jets brass thinks this fool is the answer to making the team a contender. They only succeeded the first two seasons under Rex because he inherited a pretty good team from top to bottom...they are a shell of those teams now and Ryan is an anchor that is quickly pulling this organization down. But wait!!??#$%!!....I'm a Giants fan...so actually this is OK with me, keep up the good work Rex. Oh by the way Rex, the mechanic called, your 'Clown Car' is due for an oil change.
Read Rex's eloquent, (snicker), revelation below:
Rex Ryan, naturally, wasn't as politically correct in addressing the rumor mill.
"Plain and simple, it's not accurate. I told Darrelle that. If he was to be involved in a trade, I think he and his agents would know about it. As would the general manager and myself. I don't know where things like that get drummed up from. Maybe someone was a big fan of fantasy football and would like to have him on his team."

Hello Marty. Good hearing from you. I almost didn't get home in time to continue my consecutive days. Happy Hump Day soon !
Thanks for saying hi Marty. Hope your week is a GREAT one! :) Ann
Good evening Marty! So far so good on the great week. Went to go get an oil change after work and told me I need to replace lower, front and upper ball joints. Very expensive. Have to decide what to do. Barb:)
I'm guessing you'll see $3.40 a gallon or more there soon in your area. We had three or four stations down to $3.13 a gallon, now they're back up to $3.33 and $3.35 a gallon. The last one just went back up about an hour or so ago. I'd get gassed up now as it's going up more. I wish I could have told everyone yesterday, but I couldn't make it online other than to post prices in the morning. Sorry.
you'd have seen a return of in excess of 10k to 15k already, and remember it takes money to make it. This is NOT the work of speculators, as speculators are hoping for a good return and do not move markets up, it's those with the big money that are at work MANIPULATING it higher, and the media with their news reports only helps the manipulators to make more and for us to have less. This is going to make diesel and natural gas go up a well, along with food prices and most all other goods, as it takes fuel to move it all. Looks like Obama and all his buddies and socialists and communist admirers and lovers are going to get their wishes fulfilled of us having to pay more for fuel, as we might even see the price of gas at over $4.25 a gallon in California, Alaska and Hawaii for the lower prices and Canada will probably see $1.29 a liter or more for it's minimum. God help us all that are poor and middle and lower middle class, because they'll only soak us more.
Now, for those of you who I told the price of gas was going to drop, FORGET IT NOW. The downward trend has come to a halt if you haven't already noticed. All the stations around here that had dropped by two to 20 cents a gallon are now up by as much as 14 cents a gallon as of this writing. A few are up a bit more above their previous highs. The price of gas is already up by over 25 cents a gallon on the wholesale markets, and that price increase hasn't truly hit the pumps just yet, so you can expect another 15 to 25 cents a gallon up, possibly as much as 35 cents a gallon or more, depending upon what it does today. The trend this morning pointed up sharply with heavy volume in trading, so the manipulators are well at work and the regular investors who bought into it on Thursday and Friday looking for a gain really made out like bandits already. If you had the money to invest even 2k to 5k like some did...
Glad you liked it! We ALL needed a good laugh. Damn, I missed out on Mardi Gras again! Damn! All the gals, the puppies breathing, the beads, the fun, etc.

Australia-Thailand Intstitute
Australia-Thailand Institute Grant Application Tips
ข้อแนะนำสำหรับการสมัครขอรับทุนของสถาบันออสเตรเลีย-ไทย — Thai language version of this page.
Does the proposal meet the ATI's Mission, Goals and Themes?
The ATI welcomes all applications for projects that further its mission and goals. Applications that do not clearly demonstrate this will not be approved. The ATI specifically considers whether:
- the activity would involve a sharing or transfer of expertise from which institutions or individuals in both countries would benefit, and in ways which would directly advance ATI objectives;
- the activity includes a wider program that would directly advance the ATI's objectives;
- the activity would result in an expansion of links in new areas in ways consistent with the ATI's objectives.
Please note that activities that are commercially viable in their own right or that will be of a commercial benefit to the recipient (e.g. promotion of the recipient's business) will not be approved regardless of how well they meet this criteria.
Does the proposal fall under the definition of a Grant?
If an applicant requests funding principally to fund an activity they will carry out with no direct financial or goods/services benefit to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (for example to host a conference) to further a shared aim of developing people to people links between Australia and Thailand then the proposal falls under the definition of a grant.
However, if the funding proposal gives rise to an expectation of a direct reciprocal benefit for DFAT that is financial or 'in kind' (such as goods or services), all or part of the above example would be treated as a procurement and subject to the Commonwealth Procurement Guidelines. In the above example, if a potential grant recipient includes a specified amount for management services, this component would be excluded from the grant process and treated as a procurement. This is because DFAT benefits from the management services provided.
Does the grant applicant have a Thai/Australian partner?
Grant applications that include a confirmed Thai/Australian partner or collaboration will be looked upon favourably by the ATI when assessing proposals.
Where projects are to be undertaken in conjunction with, or part funded by, a Thai or Australian organisation, applicants must be able to demonstrate on request that the counterpart has confirmed their participation and/or involvement to ensure the success of the project.
Has the grant applicant sourced supplementary assistance from other sources?
Grant applications that have supplementary financial assistance from other sources, including the applicant's own resources or corporate sponsors, will be looked upon favourably by the ATI when assessing proposals.
In-kind support is also looked upon favourably, such as accommodation and other services provided without charge in either country.
How large is the grant amount requested?
Whilst not a factor that will, in itself, rule out an application, potential applicants should be aware that most grants awarded are in the range of AUD$3,000 – $20,000. The ATI has limited grant funds available to award each financial year and the best allocation of these funds across the range of possible ATI activities must be considered.
Larger grants may be considered for approval but only in the case of particularly worthwhile projects.
The ATI also reserves the right to provide less funding than that sought by the applicant.
Does the proposal include amounts that cannot be funded by a grant round?
Commonwealth guidelines restrict the types of expenditure that may be covered under a grant funding arrangement. Applications that include requests for any of the following types of expenditure will not be approved. Partial approval of such applications to exclude these costs may be considered as an alternative.
- Grants may not be used as subsidies for general secretariat expenses or support for a research officer.
- Grants may not be used to fund administrative support or management costs such as wages and salaries.
- Grants may not be used to cover capital expenditure, e.g. real estate or purchase of equipment.
Is the proposal the responsibility of other funding bodies or other government agencies?
Grants are not normally awarded to proposals where funding would be more appropriately sought from other funding bodies or other government agencies such as Universities, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR), Austrade, the Australian Research Council (ARC), etc.
If your proposal is primarily to undertake academic research (e.g. post graduate students applying for travel assistance to undertake field work as part of their thesis), development assistance projects, trade promotion activities, or activities under bilateral science and technology agreements you may wish to seek funding from a more appropriate funding body.
How have the travel components been costed in the budget?
Grant applicants should use the Approved Travel Expense Rates when costing per diem (daily travel allowance) components in their budgets. The ATI will only fund grants up to the amounts specified in this table.
Please also note the comments regarding costing your accommodation at 3 star or equivalent rates, and economy class airfares only.

An interesting Super 15 series is coming up and it will afford us to review player performances and perhaps change our view on certain players. Siome of us has not seen enough about players to form concrete perceptions on - some are so prejudiced for and against players and nothing will change their minds about them - others harken back to the past and see nothinh good in younger players,
I have made three lists of 5 players each - whom I -
* favour and like to see how they perform.
* Good players who buggered up in 2012 and must regaim their staturel and
* Players I give low ratings to
Favoured Players
Taute (at full back)
Du Toit
Players who Under-performed in 2012
Francois Steyn
Jean De Villiers
Van der Merwe (Flippie)
Players I don't rate at all
De Jongh
Morne Steyn
The trick is to objectively asses their performances based on actual merit and see whom of them should affectively qualify for selection to the Springbok team. Real objectivity must be the nrom - not prejudice or blinkered viewing.
Any other suggestions please.
Mike all I have to do is look at your categories to know you are never going to change your mind. Hell you were still denigrating de Jongh after he had sunk your Sharks to win the CC. There's no denying his brilliant try decided that game.
You rate Coetzee, but he was dropped to the Bok bench. Francois louw completely reversed our fortunes when he came in for coetzee.....but you don't rate him.
You think de Villiers under performed but he was our most consistent back and statistically by far our best centre.
You rate Taute at fullback but he never played a minute at fullback in a test?
How in heavens name are you going to change your views on players?
You really are unfair in what you wrote above. I have an open mind about the players mentioned and can change my mind about them, I selected them based on their Super 15 and test performances in 2012 and has to add the following comments:-
* Coetzee was the top loosie in 2012 and rated as such by the New Zealand commentators as well. He is still very young - and can get better. The fact that he played from the bench for the Springboks is no disgrace - even though you may think so. He has scope for improvment - but can also go down if he does not perform.
* De Villiers was the best Springbok center in 2012 - but that is saying nothing much, The others were worse than him - he was barely average. He was also part of the "dead" Stormers backline last year and was really not at all good enough. There is massive scope for improvement in his performance.
* De Jongh was the worst no 13 in SA for two years running and was a part of the "dead" backline of the Stormers in 2012, Then suddenly out of the Blue he scored a try for the Stormers in the CC final and is selected as a Springbok center and played there for 2 games. Both were extremely disappointing performances - the one in Londonj the worst performance imaginable for a center on any level in the game. There is no way that a center above club level can be worse than he is on a constant basis and he can only improve insofar as performances are concerned. The idea is to see whether there is anything in his performances that can imprive to such an extent that I change my mind insofar as he is concerned. The key is to make sure that the assessment is fair and reasonable and based on continuous performances. If he makes the grade good luck to him
Francois Louw is not playing in Super 15 and there is no way that he can be rated in that competititon.
Mike the only way this works is to give credit when credit is due. De Jongh deserved praise after the CC final, but his test performances after that never followed through. Taute was good defensively against Oz, but absolutely atrocious against NZ.
I don't get why that's so hard to say. Does it some how reduce one's status as a rugby analyst? There are players I think are test contributors.....that move the game forward. But if they play poorly, no amount of dissembling will change that.
On the other hand, there is no need to buy into the hype.....eg that Luke Watson was great, or that Skinstad was just a show pony. This kind of thing is put out there all the time. Examples are: Watson, Hougaard at scrumhalf, Pienaar as flyhalf, Russell as flyhalf, Daniel as a test player, Werner Kruger, Greyling, Deon Carstens as test props, Jantjies as a test player, Flip Flop, Jacques Potgieter.....etc, etc.
Massive hype surrounded all this stuff. But to clear thinkers who observed these players in tight games, their failure at test level was predictable.
But even in these cases one has to maintain flexibility. If Hougaard solves his step and pass problems and uses his brain more effectively, he could become a test scrummie. I'm just not betting on it.....and the golden rule is.....it has to be demonstrated on the field of play.
My problem is that De Jongh for two years was consistently poor amd then he scored a good try - but should that remove automaticlly his poor performances over a long period? That was followed by another 2 poor games. I said clearly that I believe that I would rate him fairly and if he shows over a number of games that he is in form and good enough - I certainly will give him credit for that.
Not that I have much hope of that - but there is always a possibilty tha he can improve. Same with Hougaard as you mentioned above.
There is one issue that stand out insofar as I am concerned - and that is fair analysis of good performances over a protracted period - one game flash in the pan is just not good enough,
Hype and nothing else got Jantjies and Taute into contention - Taute in a position where he barely played for two years and then he failed in that position. Saffex goes ballistic when anybody says he failed - but his record indicates that he is an exceptionally good full back and he should play where he himself said he wants to play.
Couldn't agree more. Consistent contributions are what defines the Springbok. But we must have more honest, more fact based evaluations of each game on this site. There is simply too much blue sky stuff. Ninety percent of the young Bok hopefuls never make it. Recognizing fatal flaws early is what the competent coaches do. Arm chair coaches need similar sensitivity if their ideas are going to be realistic.
The shifting out process should be on -
* Vodacom Cup level in the first instance;
* CC level in the second instance;
* Super 15 level in the first instance
Some of the exceptional youngsters coming from Under 20 may skip altogether the first two levels and start playing senior rugby at Super 15 level. Etzebeth for instance played Super Rugby and for the Springboks before he had a single CC game to his credit. same can be said of Marcell Coetzee. However, those are rae exceptions.
Players from the Junior level often enough skips level 1 and end up playing CC games. This is in fact the highest level many of the youngsters would ever advance to and more or less 50% of the players mentioned by Saffex would fail to advance any further than this level.
If they perform exceptionally well on CC level - the other 50% could potentially reach Super 15 level. This is the real testing ground for ultimate selection at Springbok level and I am afraid that in respect of te 50% figure advancing to this level between 60 and 70% reach this level as the highest they can progress to in their rugby careers. In other words the ultimate success rate of Youngsters coming through from Junior rugby wouldbe between 10 and 20% of the total numbers starting on lower level.
Yes we need a reliable scorecard to determine success on the different levels - so as to avoid making assessment based on no foundations at all. My first positions I would assess on that basis would be the center position where we have continuous problems - but other positions should be dealt with similarly. Incidentally Sharkbok made some very interesting comments on that issue - but I would like to hear what saffex thinks before making a realistic assessment of the centers at present in the team.
You will notice that most of the existing Springboks have not been put ofn the list of 15 players mentioned by me earlier. I left out in the main players that has performed well in 2012 and only looked at those with question marks as to their performances.
Mike one can simplify all this. If a young player is dominating consistently at Super 15 level he is ready for bok selection. Good Super 15 matches are very close to test level.
I think that is becoming very difficult for players of players of 21 or even 22 to break into test rugby. You have players available in their peak years with experience. Of course there are exceptions so there can be no absolute rule.
I would be nice if each poster had a weighting so one could see whose opinion counts and for how much. Beeno at 10 for example (NOT Beeno10 lest any wise guy should want to get it wrong) and rooitwit and snapster at obviously 1? Then all one would need is an excel function and one could sort the posts and ignore any post with a status of below say 6 - if one chose. Some of us like to mentor the 1 rated posters and try and lift them to their full potential as 2s. One must always plough back something.

Muslim Political Theology in the 20th and 21st Centuries*
Winter/Spring 2013
This course offers an in-depth exploration of geographically and thematically organized case studies that address Muslim theological approaches to politics in the 20th and 21st centuries. Our case studies will include political discourses from Egypt, Iran, Turkey, India, Pakistan, and the United States. Our thematic exploration will range from theories of withdrawal from and the shaping of modern political systems. Particular attention will be paid to the analysis of discourses on modernity, gender, memory and uses of tradition, and Muslim minorities' participation in in public life. A background in modern world history, particularly of Islamic countries, would be very helpful. Please note that this course is a seminar, which means that all students must contribute to each class discussion, both orally and in writing. The format of analyzing case studies has the specific aim of refining each student's written and oral interpretative skills.

U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Rethinking Insurgency
U.S. Army War College >> Strategic Studies Institute >> Publications >> Details
Authored by Dr. Steven Metz.
The U.S. military and national security community lost interest in insurgency after the end of the Cold War when other defense issues such as multinational peacekeeping and transformation seemed more pressing. With the onset of the Global War on Terror in 2001 and the ensuing involvement of the U.S. military in counterinsurgency support in Iraq and Afghanistan, insurgency experienced renewed concern in both the defense and intelligence communities. The author argues that while exceptionally important, this relearning process focused on Cold War era nationalistic insurgencies rather than the complex conflicts which characterized the post-Cold War security environment. To be successful at counterinsurgency, he contends, the U.S. military and defense community must rethink insurgency, which has profound implications for American strategy and military doctrine.

Looping around Lake Rotorua provides some nice scenery if you have the energy to look. There are some mean hills around the back of the lake but they are all over by 30KM. KM markers were excellent, the medical vans were hard to find, toilets (as at any race) were too few. Finish was great with lots of spectators in the town as well as a few interesting ones along the route. I was given the wrong t-shirt (5 & 10K) instead of the glorious finisher's T, but exchange was no problem. Prize-giving was a yawn because all spot prizes had already been allocated. The course is kept open for over 6:30 so the race is really friendly to slow runners and walkers.
Very well put together. Raining, so not very pleasant, but refreshing for viewers. Overall, it was excellent!!!
