WBOK has come back strong from the severe damage inflicted on its studio, offices, transmitter site and broadcast tower by the flooding in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Now broadcasting over a powerful signal, the station adopted a Black talk format – "Real Talk for Real Times" – on Nov. 1, 2007, after it was purchased and upgraded by Danny Bakewell Sr. on behalf of the Bakewell family.

The fight for housing affordable to low-income families in the United States is a vortex – even unlike the work I did representing immigrants in the post-9/11 world. In my experience, fighting for public housing is more unpopular than fighting for non-citizens' rights.

Andrew Miller is being called up by the Red Sox to start Monday's game against the San Diego Padres, one of the worst scoring teams in baseball. But who is Miller? We have all heard about him, but where does he come from, and what will he bring?
Miller played his college ball at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill with current Red Sox fireballer Daniel Bard. There, he set the career and single season strikeout records in Tar Heels history and he was the 2004 Baseball America Player of the year. After his college years were through, he was selected 6th overall by the Detroit Tigers in 2006.
His talent was already shining through during his short stint with the A ball Lakeland Flying Tigers. After only three outings he was promoted to AA Erie Seawolves and he was called up to the bigs just ten days later.
This is where the concerns of if he was rushed started to show. In 10.1 innings of relief he was shaky and he did not make the Tigers opening day roster in 2007. He was called up in May to be a spot starter against the Cardinals, his first MLB start. Miller was sent back down to the minors but was recalled again, where he showed all of his potential.
In that off season Miller was part of a huge blockbuster trade with the Florida Marlins. Along with Cameron Maybin and a lot of other prospects, he was sent to Florida for Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis.
Now Miller was on a Marlins team that is constantly in rebuilding mode due to lack of financial certainty. His play slipped, and his potential seemed to be slipping as well. His walks per nine innings in 2010 was 7.16, but his strike out rate was also 7.71. He has always had command and control problems, but he was always able to strike batters out. Pretty soon, however, the Marlins got sick of waiting for the command to come, and he was traded to Boston for lefty Dustin Richardson.
Miller has been fantastic with Pawtucket this season, posting a 2.47 ERA but the walks have still been an issue. They have gone down of late, with just one and then zero in his last two outings. He will pitch Monday night, and here is what to watch for then and in the future.
Miller can strike a lot of guys out. He also walks a lot of guys. I looked at an old scouting report from the Marlins to analyze what we can expect. He has always had a high ground ball rate, but it has actually gone down since his MLB debut. When he broke in with the Tigers, it was around 60%. In his last year with Florida, it was around 40%. Over his career, Miller's win probability is -4.96. Win probability is exactly what it sounds like, probability that the pitcher will lead his team to a victory.
Miller is mostly a fastball pitcher, throwing it 74% of the time. He likes to use his slider but his out pitch is his cutter. He does not use it a whole lot like Jon Lester, but when he gets into two strike counts he is nasty against lefties with that pitch. He also has a curveball and changeup, but he does not use those pitches as much.
He is a tall pitcher, and if you look at tall pitchers over history they tend to struggle early on. Randy Johnson took a while to get settled into the bigs, and he turned out to be a hall of famer. I am not saying Miller will be that, but it is tough for lefties to have good control because with such height it is tough to repeat the motion. When pitchers struggle it is because they cannot repeat their delivery, and this has been a problem for Miller for a while. As he gets older and matures as a pitcher, this issue will go away.
Another stat that I see as a concern is that batters hit the ball 88% of the time when they swing at pitches inside the strike zone. When it is outside, it is still 66%. Miller is allowing a bit too much contact for my liking. I would like to see him use his cutter low and in to right handed batters. Best they can do is swing on top of it to drill it into the ground and at worst they miss it. It is a deceiving pitch that could work for Miller.
We will see how he does Monday night and in the future. The Red Sox are calling him up to the 40 man roster so he does not opt out (he had an opt out on June 15th) and they obviously did not want to see the former first rounder leave

The Federal Trade Commission has issued a request for comments on the implementation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act COPPA), including the costs and benefits of the Rule and whether certain sections should be kept, eliminated or changed. COPPA became effective in April of 2000. It sets out certain requirements for operators of websites directed to children under the age of 13, or who knowingly collect information from children under 13, including obtaining parental consent before collecting, using or disclosing any personal information from such children.
Comments are due by June 30, 2010. The entire request for comments can be found here.

The Senate Agriculture Committee has passed a five-year reauthorization of the child nutrition programs. The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, proposed by Committee Chair Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark., and supported by ranking minority member Sen. Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga., would allow for a $4.5 billion increase in program spending over the next ten years. The bi-partisan bill would also call on the Department of Agriculture to create new standards for food served in schools, especially in vending machines.
The bill faced some opposition from 15 environmental groups who objected to removing $2.2 billion from the Environmental Quality Incentives Program. The House has yet to act on its version of the proposed bill.

Sold as an effort to fight obesity and raise revenue, many states are considering taxes on sweetened beverages. Arkansas and West Virginia have already taxed soft drinks. Lawmakers in New York and at least eleven other states have introduced similar legislation. For example, the proposed rate in New York would be a penny-per-ounce on sweetened beverages with more than 10 calories, and which are not 100 percent juice. The suggested rate in Philadelphia is two cents-per-ounce, which would be the largest in the nation.
One of the stated reasons for the proposed taxes is reducing obesity. However, a recent university study found that taxes as high as 58 percent resulted in only a negligible reduction in average body mass index.

The New York State Assembly released their proposed budget plan this week which includes the repeal of many tax exemptions. Items which would lose their exemptions from the sales and use tax include: promotional materials shipped from New York to customers and potential customers outside the state, services related to mailing lists for promotional materials, and receipts from the sale of promotional materials.
The proposed budget will remove the entire exemption section of the law, as it pertains to promotional materials. The budget approval deadline is April 1, but due to many controversial items, Gov. David Paterson (D) has reported it is unlikely New York will meet that date.
The next issue of Government Report will be during the week of April 12 after the Congressional Easter recess.

The Monarchs claimed Colonial supremecy for the second consecutive year with a 70-65 win over VCU in the CAA Tournament Championship. Rarely do games of this nature go so accordingly to expectations and predictions, but that was the case in Richmond tonight.
In a match-up of fairly evenly matched squads, ODU built a lead as big as 16 points, but it never seemed like it was anything but a marginally close game. Of course the Rams ultimately stormed back, cutting the deficit to just a single point with a little under four minutes to play, before being put away.
VCU made their threes, Old Dominion made their two's (nearly two-thirds of them) and as so many expected the Monarchs controlled the glass, finished with a 13-rebound edge.
We know the CAA is a two-bid league with the Monarchs and George Mason Patriots counting down to the field of 68, while VCU now has to sit on the bubble for the next six days while Big Six Conference schools celebrate the likely slot that has just opened up for them.
Look for plenty more reaction from this one in tomorrow's edition of Mid-Major Morning Mashups.

Jones Day Snares Hong Kong IP Lawyers
Posted Aug 31, 2007 5:21 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Jones Day has hired four intellectual property lawyers for its Hong Kong office from Baker & McKenzie's office in the same city.
They are Peggy Cheung, Anita Leung, Chiang Ling Li and Helen Tang, the National Law Journal reports. Tang will have of-counsel status, and the others will be partners.
The new hires help make Jones Day's Asia IP practice one of the largest of any full-service law firm, says Barbara Mok, partner-in-charge of Jones Day's Hong Kong office. "Their expertise will significantly boost our full-service IP offerings in the areas of contentious, transactional and trademark IP law," she said in a press release.

Update: This blogger trick is now depreciated. There is a new much better way here: Comment Form Under Post On Blogger, The New Way. Thanks.
Sorry if the title is a little bit too long, well, i don't know what should i titled it
Finally i changed the title, thanks Ms Kumiko for your idea
We know that in blogger.com / blogspot.com readers must click on the new page or new popup window just to leave a comment on our articles. that sometime just make them (well at least to me) too lazy to leave a comment, even they want to.
it's true that blogger/blogspot is not like wordpress, in wordpress, we can just leave a comment on the post page. so, why can't we have the same too on blogger/blogspot ?
we can actually
here is the step.
if you are looking for this same hack for old blogger / classic blogger, please go to this post created by Avi Alkalay.
Please backup your template first before changing anything.
1. Go to your dashboard – > control panel – > edit html
2. Tick the Expand Widget Templates
3. Find this html code below

1 <data:commentLabel/>:<data:post.numComments/> <data:commentLabelPlural/>:

<data:comment.author/><data:comment.author/><data:commentPostedByMsg/>

<data:comment.body/>
<data:comment.body/>

<data:comment.timestamp/>

<data:postCommentMsg/>

4. replace all code above with this new html code below
(Right click – Save target as or Save link as)
Note: sometime, somehow, if you copy that code, the single quote ' character will change to this symbol `
i really have no idea how could that happen. but if it so, please change it back to single character again ' to make it work.
in the code above, you'll see this line :
That is this image source
You can change that image with your own image if you want to.
5. copy all this html code below on top of your  it's usually second last line of your html code.

6. Find this code below:
1 <data:top.commentLabel/><data:post.numComments/> <data:top.commentLabelPlural/>
7. Change or replace with this code below:
1 <data:top.commentLabel/><data:post.numComments/> <data:top.commentLabelPlural/>
8. then after you did step #7, say thank you to me
9. and then click on the "Save Template" button.
10. Look at your blog now, it should now has a commenting system under each post.
how is it? cool isn't it
There are 2 formats of blogger commenting look,
One is in a new popup window and the other is not.
(I bold and highlighted it because seems not everyone paying attention on this
Popup Window will let you have all submitted comments placed on top of the comment form, so it's good rather then have those placed on the left side of the comment form, so your readers have to scroll it to right first if they want to leave a comment.
But you can try both of them to see the differences anyway.
If you still have any trouble with this hack, you can download this template. This is an example of template already installed by this hack.
Please Read here about the new simple and great way to have a comment form under post in blogger with haloscan. (with HaloScan)
Update for above update:
I really disappointed using haloscan on my site. i wish i didn't install it on the site please read here: should we use Haloscan if you wanna know why. thanks
Facts, some cool with this hack:
1. because it uses iframe, so it works in it's own area, in other words, it's like use an AJAX on our comments. so readers / commenter can see their comments immediately after they click on the submit comment button. isn't that cool?!
2. Because this feature usually only exists on wordpress, some people think this blog powered by wordpress. they wrong!
3. found another one ? please tell us on the comment below, and i will added it with your link
Thanks for trying this.

It's not entirely clear if FAW are planning to continue with the Besturn brand or not, but it seems that they are now planning to continue with the brand expansion and worry about branding later. Initially the Ben Tung brand was known as Besturn in English, but it later fell under the Hong Qi (Red Flag) naming series at this years Beijing Auto Show.
The B90 is FAW's third self developed sedan after the B50 and original B70, a B30 based on the VW Jetta is apparently under development. The B50 and B70 models made use of the Mazda6 platform, and it is not clear what the B90 will be sitting on this time, it could be a slightly lengthened Mazda6 platform.

I was on mlive.com today and I saw that former NFL DT, John Thornton, spoke out against taking a DT with the second overall pick. Now, he knows that Suh and McCoy are far ahead of most guys in this year's draft, but he still says that taking a DT second overall would be foolish. Here's the link to the article:
I'm not too sure Thornton is either right or wrong. It is true that a DT will not make as big of an impact as an elite pass rusher, a franchise LT, or an electrifying RB, but have we seen a DT as good as Suh in recent years? I still say that if we can't trade the pick, and Suh is still there, then we should draft him. I don't see an OT worth taking, and I don't see a DE worth taking. The only guys I see taking THAT high(other than Suh) are Eric Berry, and Joe Haden. CJ Spiller is also a possibility if he has a "Chris Johnson-like" Combine, but if not, he's getting drafted between 10-15.
Tell me what you guys think of this.

Parliament votes to introduce carbon tax
Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, has managed to get her controversial plans to introduce a carbon tax passed by parliament's lower house. The bill means that Australia's largest producers of greenhouse gasses will have to pay each time they produce a tonne of carbon dioxide. Before the vote, Ms Gillard said that the legislation would mean a better environment and a better future for Australia.
However, the opposition claims that the strategy will mean a hike in the cost of living and will result in job losses. The 2011 Clean Energy Bill was narrowly pushed through by 74 votes to 72.
Thousands of Australians have protested the bill claiming that Ms Gillard has reneged on one of her campaign pledges. Before being elected last year, she said that she had no… Read the full story

Fuel shortages as French protests continue
Public opposition to retirement reforms continues to cause disruption across France ahead of tomorrow's national demonstrations. Although the government continues to play down the risk of fuel shortages, panic buying across the country has put pressure on reserves. Oil-industry lobby, the UFIP, is warning that disruptions at all of France's oil refineries since Tuesday last week could mean serious supply problems by the middle of this week.
The situation is likely to be exacerbated by the announcement that truckers are to continue blockading the country's main roads. Across Paris, sold out signs have been erected at a number of petrol stations. The price of remaining fuel is likely to rise even though economy minister, Christine Lagarde, has warned those who do so that they will be punished.

UK motorists concerned over road camera deactivation
A new research study shows that two-thirds of UK motorists believe that with the deactivation of speed cameras, roads will become more dangerous.
According to RoadPilot, a safety camera data firm, funding cuts in the face of the new austerity budget will force three per cent of all speed detection cameras to be removed or switched off. However, there will be more camera groups reviewing the remaining cameras, yet 66 per cent of motorists still believe that road safety will in jeopardy if the cameras go off.
CEO of RoadPilot, James Flynn said that the recent amendments to the budget will mean that several camera partnerships will have to deactive or revise the level of speed detection cameras being used in their regions. Mr Flynn added that drivers would now… Read the full story

Public officials hope that a public car initiative in Cardiff, set to begin in October, will help to ameliorate the traffic problem in the city which has become increasingly worse over the past few years. The scheme will see 10 low-emission autos provided by City Car Club and will be available for hire on a per hour basis, which Cardiff councillors hope will encourage residents to give up their second cars, free up parking spaces, and decrease city-wide traffic congestion.
In an interview with the Echo, head of transport for Cardiff Coun Delme Bowen said that the new car club initiative is another important step in helping to reduce the city's traffic problem. He went on to add that through the availability of the environmentally-friendly autos throughout the city, people… Read the full story

Chief constable claims motorists are hypocritical when it comes to speeding
One of the longest serving chief constables in the UK has said that she believes middle-class motorists are hypocritical when it comes to speeding on the roadways. Julie Spence, outgoing head of Cambridgeshire Police, said in an interview with the Daily Telegraph that most motorists believe speeding is acceptable, unless they have the misfortune of experiencing a vehicle tragedy and losing a loved one.
Mrs Spence said that speeding is anti-social behaviour which has been normalised by the middle-class, and that most individuals who speed believe that they should be able to get away with it. She went on to say that everything is usually fine with speeding, at least in the minds of those who go faster than the law allows, until their child dies in a road accident,… Read the full story

Breath test needed to start autos for drink drivers in NYC
Starting 15 August of this year, all persons living in New York City who have been convicted of drink driving offences will be required to pass a breath test before starting their auto. The breath test device, expected to be installed in over 4,000 autos within the first year of the new law, will prevent motorists from operating their vehicles if their blood-alcohol content (BAC) is above .025, roughly one-third the New York State legal limit of .08.
Motorists who have been convicted of drink driving offenses, even first time offenders, will be forced to blow into the breathalyser device each time they wish to drive their vehicle, and continue blowing at periodic intervals during their trip. If at any time the device registers a BAC reading of over .025,… Read the full story

UK taxi drivers banned from flying England flag
Kent city taxi drivers in the UK say they have been let down by the council after they were told that flying flags from vehicles is not permitted during the World Cup football tournament. It remains to be seen whether any such action will be taken in Australia.
According to the Canterbury City Council, cabs displaying England flags would be violating rules on what can be exhibited on public service vehicles. The rules prohibit taxis from displaying any letters, signs, emblems, marks or motifs. If the ban is ignored, cabbies could have their licences revoked.
The authority said it would be pleased to look over the policy but in order for that to take place it would require a full consultation. One cab driver, Colin Mitchell, said that he wanted… Read the full story

CableLabs in the News, Week of March 21
By James Kerley, CableLabs –
It's been a busy week for CableLabs, with a lot of work being done in the world of DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance). Here are some of the highlights:
DLNA CVP-2 Guidelines Enable Multi-screen Content Through Set-top Boxes
An exciting development for consumers and cable operators alike, CableLabs was closely involved in the publishing of the DLNA CVP-2 guidelines this week. These guidelines will allow for content providers to provide premium, multi-screen content right through a set-top box, as opposed to a gateway or router. As Tom Lookabaugh, Chief R&D Officer of CableLabs put it: "This is a win for all stakeholders."
You can read about the new guidelines and what they might mean at CED Magazine or HiddenWires.
For a more consumer-oriented look at the guidelines, check out Jeff Baumgartner's piece from Multichannel News.
Gainspeed IDs 'Virtual' CCAP Tech Partners
You may recall news last week about a new CableLabs project investigating a "virtual" form of Converged Cable Access Platform (CCAP). Meanwhile, Multichannel News found that Gainspeed, a startup actively developing a virtual CCAP, has identified four development partners: Juniper Networks, CommScope, Netgear and JDSU.
If a virtual CCAP is developed, the CableLabs project will become very important as the decision is made whether to create new specifications.
NCTA Reveals Initial Lineup for The Cable Show 2014
Finally, for those attending this year's Cable Show, it's never too early to start scheduling who you'll see speak.
Do you have any news tips related to CableLabs that we missed? Let us know in the comments below.

Our Bureau
Hyderabad , Nov. 2
THE Chief Minister, Dr Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, has directed officials to spruce up infrastructure facilities at Visakhapatnam in connection with the proposed three-day President's Naval Fleet Review scheduled to begin on February 12 next year.
The event is being held at Visakhapatnam for the first time after Independence. About six lakh people, apart from 500-odd outstation invitees and a galaxy of VVIPs, including the Vice-President, the Prime Minister and the Chairperson of National Advisory Council, will witness the celebrations. The Chief Minister has agreed to appoint a joint committee of the State administration headed by the Chief Secretary and the Director General of Police to visit Visakhapatnam and attend to the issues with the coordination of the Naval officials, according to an official press release.

Securities Law
Where's the Brief? DOJ Doesn't File
Posted Jun 12, 2007 2:48 PM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The U.S. Solicitor General missed a midnight deadline to file an amicus brief supporting investors who want to hold third parties directly liable for helping commit accounting fraud.
The Securities and Exchange Commission had asked the U.S. Justice Department to file a brief in the Supreme Court case, Stoneridge Investment Partners v. Scientific-Atlanta Inc.
The missed deadline indicates disagreement within the government over the issue of third-party liability, the Wall Street Journal reports (sub. req.). A DOJ spokesman would not say if a brief would be filed.
In 1994, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that third parties may not be liable for aiding and abetting a corporate fraud. Stoneridge seeks to hold third parties liable as "primary violators" for joining in transactions that allegedly helped a cable TV company inflate its financial picture.

DeRo to the DL
Looks like we won't be seeing Mark in Cardinal Red this weekend - at least not on the field. (Note: I'm posting this because it's a significant piece of news about one of the Cubs division rivals, not because I'm trying to fan the embers of the now-dying "We shoulda kept DeRo!" debate.)

Brandy, 50 Cent Roll Through Rolling Stone Awards Weekend Bash
Brandy was the center of attention at Rolling Stone Awards Weekend Bash at Drai's Hollywood on Saturday night (Feb. 26). The sexy singer got flirty with her "Dancing with the Stars" partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy on the red carpet and inside, spending the remainder of the evening with best friends Keisha and Omar Epps. A sharply-dressed 50 Cent was also posted up in the club's VIP section as ?uestlove manned the DJ booth and The Roots performed.

What I Said Then: Easily the best PPV event of the year. I felt that way even before the final bout which I should just award Match of the Year honors to right now. It has been many years since a non-WrestleMania event felt so huge. The stars aligned perfectly tonight as the in-ring performances lived up to the expectations this show had. A word of thanks also has to go out to the Chicago crowd which really made this event feel special. They were hot all night and their enthusiasm for everything that was going on made for a great television viewing experience. If you paid for this show, you got your money's worth. Normally, I'd recommend that you wait for the DVD to come out if you missed this show but I am not going to do that. I recommend paying full price for the replay of this show. It was that good.
Has My Opinion Changed? No.
Overall Recommendation: This event gets my highest possible recommendation. I truly believe that when this show is looked back upon in several years, many people will throw this event into the debate of the greatest PPV ever. If I ever get around to making a list of the top-10 PPV events, this show will be on that list.
Chapters on this DVD (matches are in bold):
- DVD Extra: Matt Striker Interviews Daniel Bryan
- SmackDown Money in the Bank Ladder Match: Kane vs. Sin Cara vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus vs. Wade Barrett vs. Cody Rhodes vs. Justin Gabriel vs. Heath Slater

From One Pro to the Soccer Moms of America, Thank You!
by Daniel Scott
This is an article about two football matches and one amazing woman.
Last week, the Tampa Bay Rowdies beat VSI Tampa 2-1 on their ground in the US Open Cup. Being in separate, some would say rival leagues, this match took on more than the intensity of a local derby and perhaps more even than an elimination cup tie.
Beyond the rivalries between the leagues and clubs though was the opportunity to play in the next round of the US Open Cup and a match against a side who will go down as one of the greatest in Open Cup history, the Seattle Sounders.
Crowds of 30,000 plus at Open Cup finals in a televised match seemed to be the stuff of fantasy a decade ago, but to give the Sounders organization some credit, they have given it their all. I believe that this in turn has convinced other MLS sides to follow. Who can doubt the will to win of both clubs in last year's final?
But for us here in Florida, the best bit is that we get to bring the Sounders here, to bring a top class side to Tampa Bay and allow our great fans to see some of MLS's best players that they could normally only see on television.
This is what makes the US Open Cup so enjoyable to be a part of and to watch. The giants visit the humble little stadium of the lower league team. They talk about the magic of the cup in the English media. Well, it's coming here to our home in St Petersburg.
Tampa Bay Rowdies v Seattle Sounders is of course one of the old classic NASL match ups too.
Perry Van Der Beck, Rodney Marsh and Winston Duboise to name a few, all helped lay the foundation for the Rowdies in the 1970's. With the rebirth of the Rowdies name in 2012 one can only pay homage to the legends of the past who have helped pave the way for players like myself.
Around the time of the end of the NASL in the 1980's, a new soccer rivalry was about to start. A rivalry between two brothers. Today, marks the second time in the past three years where my brother and I have the opportunity to compete against each other.
Zach knows how much respect I have for his career as his resume speaks for itself. He is a true consummate professional in every sense and a natural leader.
Zach and I are of course not only brothers but best friends. We follow each other's careers and give each other encouragement when necessary.
This match however is not all about us and I want to use this article to thank our mother Linda for all her contributions to get us this far.
Every soccer mom in the USA knows the sacrifices that have to be made to get their kids to soccer practice. Few get to see both their sons make it to this level and actually compete against each other.
Growing up, she never told us we played well when we didn't. As players, we already know when we underperform. She helped guide us by saying we could do better and to never quit. I believe that explains a great deal about the way Zach and I conduct ourselves on the pitch.
So I want to thank her but in doing so, I also want to thank all soccer moms of America reading for all the sacrifices they made and continue to make for soccer. Without you we wouldn't have any of the great players and matches we see now.
Thank you, to all of you from a professional soccer player.

E-mail on the go. This organizational challenge has long perplexed mobile profession als in want of remote access to corporate e-mail wherever they are. Technical glitches, dialing in again and again, looking for hot spots and plugs have long been the major impediments to easy information exchange.
In came BlackBerry and the world just got smaller again. This RIM (Research in Motion) platform was launched in India with an exclusive tie-up with Bharti Tele-ventures less than two months ago, and it has already caught the eye of many professionals who survive on 24/7 deadlines. In these last two months, the demand for BlackBerry devices has shown impressive growth. According to Dr Jai Menon, corporate director, IT and technology, Bharti Tele-Ventures, "Over 200 corporates are now using the BlackBerry solution. These companies are from diverse sectors like FMCG, consulting, banking, etc. We are now in the process of tying up with some government agencies that want to use the Blackberry as a significant productivity enhancement tool".
According to Don Morrison, chief operating officer at Research in Motion, "BlackBerry is designed to provide mobile professionals with the best combined wireless email, data and phone experience. Its unique value has fuelled adoption in thousands of companies and government organizations throughout the world." The current target audiences are the higher officials in government organizations and the senior management in corporates—CEOs, CFOs, CTOs, customer- or partner-facing professionals in multi-national corporations and government organizations.
The e-suite
BlackBerry provides its corporate customers with secure wireless access to a full suite of business applications, including phone, Internet, SMS, corporate organizer and the quintessential e-mail. Airtel's customers get the flexibility of managing their e-mail on the go. Moreover the wireless service is designed to synchronize the changes between the customer's desktop and the mobile device. Corporate data access is another benefit, which enables the BlackBerry with always-on access to additional corporate data and enterprise information.
According to Dr Menon, "With the launch of the BlackBerry, Airtel customers would be the first to access the advantages of push-based and always-on connectivity." He adds, "Other than the traditional e-mail options (of read, compose, forward, reply, file and delete), the handset can be configured with the existing enterprise e-mail system." Also, setting e-mail filters that monitor key words and message fields can control the messages received on the wireless handhold. E-mail attachments can be viewed in popular document formats like Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Adobe PDF and ASCII text.
Airtel claims to have left other Indian competitors way back in the rat race. Competing products from Hutch require e-mails to be "pulled" by the user, whereas in Airtel's email solution e-mails are "pushed" to the handheld. Thus the e-mail is received instantly on the handheld without any user intervention. According to an Airtel spokesperson, the Hutch solution in its latest version of 2003 supports only MS Exchange, whereas BlackBerry supports both MS Exchange and Lotus Domino.
Storming India
The BlackBerry in India was launched after extensive work done by Airtel at the backend, both on the network and service ends of the chain. This included commissioning of dedicated international leased lines to service data traffic generated by BlackBerry handhelds in India.
With BlackBerry, mobile professionals stay connected under a very safe umbrella of internal and external security features and centralized administration. "Corporate security needs," according to Dr Jai Menon "are well addressed by placing the BlackBerry enterprise Server (BES) behind the corporate firewall." To make the entire complex telecom architecture secure, leased line network security backed by triple DES encryption standard are used to secure the information when it travels outside the customers network.
According to a study analyzing the RoI of a BlackBerry deployment, BlackBerry users clocked an average productivity gain of 54 minutes a day. Though the availability of BlackBerry is limited (it can be purchased in 13 cities), it can be used in all cities with Airtel's (General Packet Radio Service) GPRS network, which is technically speaking, the entire Bharti network. Also, the tri-band roaming feature allows Airtel customers to roam in most of the major markets like US, UK, Canada and Singapore.
RIM in India has two licensing programs (BlackBerry Connect and BlackBerry Built-In) enabling devices by different manufacturers and working on different OS (Symbian, PalmSource and Microsoft) to take advantage of the technology. Many mobile device manufacturers such as Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung, HTC, Motorola and Siemens are licensing the technology for their devices.
Customers, depending on their need for features, can choose from three handset models, the 7730, 7230 and 6230 models, with the first two being colored screen handsets. While the device costs range from Rs 18,990 to Rs 32,990, the cost of services oscillate between Rs 1,799-2,799 based on the usage and calling pattern.
Highlighting the effort made by Bharti in bringing BlackBerry to India, Dr Menon said, "The BlackBerry wireless solution consists of integrated hardware, software and service elements. It has been launched based on extensive technical infrastructure set up by Airtel. It includes commissioning of dedicated leased lines and installation of configured BlackBerry enterprise servers. The entire state-of-the-art service is backed by seamless integration of a fully redundant network. The BlackBerry is going to work in the maximum expanse, with all 18 Airtel mobile networks being GPRS ready."
As volumes grow, the cost of these handsets is expected to go down, as happened with mobile phones. According to Dr Menon, "Worldwide BlackBerry customers have shown a rapid increase. There are over 1.6 mn BB subscribers and over 60 carrier partners globally. There was an increase of approximately 317,000 from May to August 2004. It shows a rapid pick up of BlackBerry in the global market and the increasing demand of the BlackBerry service. I am sure India too will exhibit a similar trend."

Apple needs to keep suing to protect its mobile business (from AC)
Response to an: Opinion piece from Android Central
The reality is that Samsung is eating everyone's lunch, even other Android OEMs. I'm not even a fan of Samsung phones because of how cheap they feel but there is little any of the other OEMs can do against the might that is Sammy. Even if another OEM were to come up with a novel idea at this point, Samsung could copy it just like they did with S-Voice. They are also way ahead in screen tech and their scale allows them to churn out new products at an insane rate.
Apple needs to sue. They admitted that their iPhone sales weren't what they wanted them to be at in Q2. There is almost nothing Apple can do now to get a leg up on Samsung when the Android ecosystem is as strong as Apple's now. Without a judge stopping Samsung from using Apple's idea, Samsung can just pull the best from iOS and Android but also beat everyone else to market with those ideas.

Darkness came too soon to allow a finish to the last two matches in the men's Round of 16 at the French Open. This means Frenchman Jo-Wilfriend Tsonga, the No. 5 seed, will have to finish the fifth set of his match against 18th-seeded Stanislas Wawrinka on Monday. Tsonga is up a break in the fifth set, 4-2. Tsonga, the highest-ranked French player in the field at the beginning of the tournament, always enjoys a good run in the first week at Roland Garros, but has never made it past the quarterfinals.
Seventh seed Tomas Berdych and ninth-seeded Juan Martin Del Potro, the 2009 U.S. Open champion, also were unable to finish their match, having completed three sets with Berdych leading two sets to one. Berdych has never made it past the semifinal of a French Open.
The women were all able to get their matches in -- it helps that no match can go longer than three sets -- and sixth-seeded Aussie Samantha Stosur was able to advance into the quarters. Stosur, the reigning U.S. Open champ, reached the final at Roland Garros in 2010, falling to Francesca Schaivone that year. Stosur ended the run of 19-year-old American Sloane Stephens, 7-5, 6-4. Something tells me that, since her loss was on clay and not at home, Stephens is someone we should remember, and not a Melanie Oudin repeat.

The JCCH is fully committed to a tradition of Keruv (outreach and welcoming), especially as it relates to single faith and interfaith families. We warmly welcome those who share our interest in Jewish life built upon our rich traditions and rituals. Along these lines, we are pleased that the fabric of our synagogue transcends congregants who are Jews by birth. We have among our membership a significant and growing number of Jews by choice and supportive non-Jewish spouses and parents. They take advantage of---and contribute significantly to---our spiritual, cultural, educational, community service and recreational initiatives. Programs and classes are widely offered to interfaith families so they can learn from each other's unique experiences while increasing their involvement within our Jewish community. Interfaith families are treated as full family members.
The Keruv guidelines at the JCCH are based on those sponsored nationally by the Federation of Jewish Men's Clubs and the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism. The JCCH proudly takes a progressive stance on interfaith issues while maintaining the halachic (Jewish legal) framework of the Conservative movement.
Our Keruv consultants are always available to speak with you, as is Rabbi Glazer, about how interfaith couples are warmly welcomed "under our tent" at the JCCH.

NEEP was honored to participate in an important Restructuring Roundtable discussion last week on the state of energy efficiency in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. Sue Coakley, NEEP's Executive Director, presented at the event along with Massachusetts Commissioner of Energy Resources Mark Sylvia, Connecticut Energy Policy Advisor Jessie Stratton and Steve Rourke of ISO-New England. The impressive panel highlighted the tremendous progress the Northeast states have made on energy efficiency and put a spotlight on innovative policy and system planning approaches that will help the region continue to lead.
Sue anchored the panel presenting how the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states are raising the bar for energy efficiency savings as the rest of the country tries to mimic our success.
Sue began with a reminder of NEEP's prediction in its 2004 Energy Efficiency Potential Study of negative electricity load growth as a result of robust energy efficiency programs. "When we compare our 2004 potential study with ISO New England's recent electric energy forecast – it is exciting to see that the trend for the next ten years matches the opportunity that we saw ten years ago," said Coakley, "The bottom line is that we can more than offset energy growth if we continue down the path we are on."
The reason for success in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states is the leadership of policymakers that have embraced investments in energy efficiency, and complementary building and appliance efficiency policies, as a cornerstone of our energy policy. This was demonstrated by the other panelists, with the representatives from Massachusetts and Connecticut vying for the #1 spot in the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE)'s State Policy Scorecard. (Both states have released innovative energy efficiency proposals in the past few weeks which we will discuss in upcoming blog posts).
Yet, important work remains—Sue noted that "while we have met with notable success in the last few years, significant challenges lay ahead to ensure that we remain innovative and retain our potential to achieve all cost-effective efficiency." Those include changing outdated regulatory frameworks that undervalue efficiency, and more fully committing to other policy tools such as building energy codes, appliance efficiency standards, and building energy disclosure with programs. ISO-New England's new energy efficiency forecast and our new Regional Energy Efficiency Database (REED) will provide important new sources of data so that we can benchmark the progress of states across the region to achieve cost-effective energy savings.
All of us here at NEEP are excited to assist in the growth of energy efficiency and keep the region a national efficiency leader by advancing innovation and best practices with leading-edge policies, programs and strategies that deepen, broaden and accelerate energy efficiency on a regional-scale. We remain convinced that the type of discussion that occurred at the Roundtable will allow us to keep "inventing ways to be more efficient with energy," as Sue stated.

It seems as though the jobsworth police in the UK are having a competition to see who is the most ridiculous.
Jez Luff, 38, of Littlehampton, England says that he had to pay to get his stolen van out of impound because police couldn't find him – even though all his contact information is printed on the vehicle.
Luff said that police told him that his stolen van was found with the engine running on April 28.
He was then informed that he would have to pay $502 for three days of storage before police would release it because officers were unable to find a way to contact him.
Luff says that his business's name, Web address and phone number are printed in large letters on the side of the vehicle.
"Call me naive, but what about the big 4-foot vinyl sticker clues, with our phone number, logo and Web address? You don't need to send a team of detectives to read the side of a van. The phone number is even 24 hours," Luff said.
A police representative said officers decided it was not "practical" to call the number on the van.
"Where an owner cannot be immediately identified or contacted, a vehicle is taken into storage. A number was on the van, but due to the time of day it wasn't considered practical to call," was the pathetic excuse offered by a police representative.
If police are lacking in the most basic investigative skills, then how can people expect them to take on real crime?

1st comment is only too true, or "American Idol"!
Monroe Doctrine was to prevent further European expansion in S.A. & to encourage independance, Alaska wasn't in the picture then. Cuba was an exisisting Colony. The US was distracted with the War between the States when France invaded Mexico, but the US did send guns to the opposition groups.

Pressure tends to find a release, either in implosion or explosion.
Under the weight of a deadline crunch, the Norwalk Senior Legion baseball team burst out at the seams last Saturday, erupting for 11 runs in two innings to keep its postseason hopes alive in a 15-6 romp over Bridgeport at City Hall Field.
"We don't succumb to pressure," said Norwalk head coach Chris Brown, whose defending state champion team improved to 13-11, two wins shy of a tournament berth with three games left in the regular season. "Every game we have a good attitude. We showed what we're capable of today."
With Bridgeport (7-17) leading 2-1 to start the bottom of the third inning, Norwalk kicked off the rally when catcher Matt Ederle tripled to bring home shortstop Gareth Fancher, who had walked and stolen a base. Run-scoring doubles by Norwalk's Spencer Jacoby and Kevin Daniele soon followed, along with RBI singles by Leon Fleming, Alex Valenzano and another hit by Ederle to cap the uprising, 8-2.
Putting up insurance in the fourth, Norwalk expanded its margin to 12-2 on hits by Fancher and Daniele.
Ederle tallied three hits on the day--two for extra bases--scoring twice and driving in two. Jacoby racked up a pair of hits, as did his replacement in center field, Miles Turner. Daniele doubled twice, scored twice, and drove in three while Fleming finished with two hits and two runs scored.
"We got on a good streak there," Brown said. "When we come out aggressive things happen."
Left-hander Mike Hughes pitched solidly for Norwalk--stumbling only late when Bridgeport touched him up for four runs in the sixth inning. Hughes allowed all six Bridgeport runs, scattering seven hits over six innings to earn the win while striking out three and walking four. He was able to surmount a spate of wildness in the second inning that saw him hit two batters and load the bases before striking out two to escape the frame unscathed.
"I had a little trouble," Hughes said. "But I just stay confident out there and try to keep ahead of the batters."
The first of four Bridgeport pitchers on the day, lefty Paulie Hernandez took the loss, permitting six hits and seven runs in 2 1/3 innings of work.
Aside from its late rally, Bridgeport failed to find its stride after Norwalk's middle-inning surge.
"We just didn't have it today," Bridgeport head coach Jim Maszoros said. "(Norwalk) got to us and we didn't respond. We took too many pitches and came up short when we had opportunities."
With Norwalk up 11-2 in the sixth, Bridgeport belatedly made its move, getting six batters in a row on base. But after Hernandez's RBI single, Aries Meyers' bases-loaded walk and Dante Younger's single that drove in two, Bridgeport witnessed its bid fizzle out when Younger broke home from third base on a wild pickoff throw to second, only to be cut down at the plate to end the inning.
"We started to get something going," Maszoros said. "But it was too late."
Right-hander James Welch handled mop-up duties for Norwalk in the seventh, needing only six pitches to send Bridgeport on its way.
Mike Parlanti doubled in his only at-bat and scored Norwalk's final run when Turner singled up the middle in the sixth.

She is very helpful if you need it. Too much of the class is spent hand coding your webpages, and we do not begin using a program until the last half of the semester. Once you use the program, it becomes pointless to memorize hand coding. Bargin gives a lot of class time to work on a specific assignment.

I started a blog about all things Atlanta. Check it.
New band. New tunes. hotsummer nights is a country/western song I wrote years ago that we redid. Sounds fantastic.
One of my friends killed himself. We hadn't seen each other since this Summer. He always seemed to be doing okay. He was older than me and usually you lose the desire to off yourself as you get older and realize that no matter what, life is better than the unknown, -so it was a shock to hear he had done it.
We weren't close friends. We worked together for 5 years. Partied at each others' houses on Fourth of July. Traded video games and stuff but he wasn't on my shortlist for when I needed a ride or help doing something. Still, he introduced me to a lot of really good bands when I was young, dumb, and listening to terrible music.
Isn't it funny how when we're 18 we think we have the greatest musical taste?
I will always remember him and me closing up at work and going up to the roof to smoke a blunt and seeing all the lights of the city. The simple things.
I know you're bad for me and you have an expensive taste that I truly can't afford but… I need you right now. You make me feel like everything makes sense. You give me an escape and an excuse to do nothing but blow smoke and daydream. I love the buzz you give me in the morning and the complete feeling of calm after a long day at work. Reading with you in my hand is how I spend most of my afternoons. How could I just casually throw you away?
In a few more years, you'll probably have given me wrinkles or taken away my beautiful voice but for now you are mine.
I don't need you right now but I want you. But this won't last forever.
Alle guten Dinge sind drei, Darum liebe, trinke und singe dabei.

Bumped...A great read by Bix. He covers all the bases and answers the main question - this rivalry still matters! Paragon
What is the University of Southern California Trojans rivalry with The Fighting Irish of Notre Dame? lex icon breaks it down thusly:
The History: No other intersectional rivalry is as old, as intense or as meaningful as this one. This year marks 83 seasons of tradition between the two schools, broken only by a few seasons during World War II. In almost one-fourth of those years, the winner of this game has won the national championship. The series began in 1926, when Knute Rockne took his team to the West Coast, reportedly because his wife wanted a warm-weather holiday. Though they had just one national title between them then, USC and Notre Dame were becoming national football powerhouses, and in the first seven seasons of the rivalry, the winner of the game ended up as national champions five times! Notre Dame hosts the games in odd-numbered years, since 1931, those have all been played at Notre Dame Stadium. USC hosts games in even-numbered years, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
The Prize: The winner of the game keeps the Shillelagh, a club made of Irish wood, for a year. This Shillelagh adds an emerald-studded shamrock for each Notre Dame win, and a ruby-studded Trojan head for each USC win, right next to the engraved score of each game. For tie games, a combined Trojan head/shamrock medallion was used. The original Shillelagh was filled up after the 1989 game and is on display at Notre Dame. This year's game is a battle for the current, second, Shillelagh.
Head-to-Head Record: No team has beaten USC more times than Notre Dame. No team has beaten Notre Dame more times than USC. Notre Dame leads the all-time series 42-32-5. The series is streaky. USC has won the last 6 games. The Irish won the 3 before that. USC won the 3 before that. Notre Dame won 12 of the 13 before that. USC won 11 of 13 before that. In the past 10 games, USC holds a 7-3 lead. Since 1967, USC leads 21-17-3. At the Coliseum, USC leads 20-17-4. Against unranked Notre Dame teams, USC is 9-11-1 all-time, and 6-5-1 all time in Los Angeles. However, ranked USC teams, against unranked Irish squads, are 7-5-1 overall, and 5-3-1 in Los Angeles. When ranked in the top five, USC is 13-7-2 against the Irish, winning the last four such games.
Great Players: USC has had 151 All-Americans, 27 College Football Hall of Famers, 10 Pro Football Hall of Famers, 5 NFL #1 overall draft picks and 7 Heisman Trophy winners, most recently Reggie Bush, 2005. Notre Dame has 181 All-Americans, 41 College Football Hall of Famers, 10 Pro Football Hall of Famers, 5 NFL #1 overall draft picks and 7 Heisman Trophy winners, most recently, Tim Brown, 1987.
Bowls: USC has won 30 of the 46 bowls in which it played. Notre Dame has won 13 of the 28 it played, but lost its last nine, and hasn't won a bowl game since the 1994 Cotton Bowl. USC, which has won 5 of the 6 BCS bowls it played in the past six seasons, is still in the running for the Rose Bowl or BCS Championship Game.
Religion: Notre Dame was founded as a Roman Catholic university. USC was founded as a Methodist university. When Notre Dame first came to Southern California, the Trojans were a Methodist campus. In fact, the Trojans were once known as the USC Wesleyans or the USC Methodists. Despite a reference on wikipedia, rumors that USC athletes were once referred to as the "Fighting Methodists" are unsubstantiated.
Memorable Anniversaries: Here are some other games folks will be remembering this year.
- 80 years: 1928 - USC 27, Notre Dame 13. USC's first victory in the series came in the year they won their first Rissman Trophy as the Dickinson rated national champion.
- 40 years: 1948 - Notre Dame 14, USC 14. The second-ranked Irish had their 21-game winning streak snapped in Los Angles, but extended their unbeaten streak to 27 when Emil Sitko scored from one yard out with 35 seconds left.
- 30 years: 1978 - Notre Dame 25, USC 27. Joe Montana's two-yard TD pass to Pete Holohan erased an 18-point USC lead and gave Notre Dame its first lead at 25-24 lead with 46 seconds left, but USC drove 50 yards in four plays to set up Frank Jordan's 37-yard game-winning field goal with two seconds to go.
- 25 years: 1983 - Notre Dame 27, USC 6. USC had won five straight, and 11 out of 13 against the Irish, but Notre Dame won this game in South Bend and didn't lose to the Trojans again until 1996.
- 20 years: 1988 - Notre Dame 27, USC 10. Both teams came in with 10-0 records for the final game of the season. Notre Dame was ranked #1, USC was #2. Notre Dame defensive back Stan Smagala returned an interception 64 yards for a touchdown and Tony Rice had a 65-yard touchdown on a quarterback draw. Notre Dame went on the win the national championship, and USC lost to Michigan in the Rose Bowl.
Saturday will also mark 22 years to the day since Lou Holtz's first game in the Notre Dame-USC rivalry. The Irish rallied from a 20-9 halftime deficit and a 30-12 third quarter deficit before Steve Beuerlein (Servite H.S.) led the Irish back to within two points, 37- 35. Tim Brown's 56-yard punt return put John Carney within range for the game-winning 19-yard field goal with two seconds left.
Three days to go.

Down here in Columbus, a talk show on our main sports station 97.1 FM was discussing comments made by the new ownership that they would be open to changing the jerseys and logos so long as fans were open to it as well. The hosts even discussed changing the colors. Bunch of callers hit the airwaves with their varying opinions on what should or shouldn't be changed. Thought I'd post on here to see what other Browns fans think.
In my opinion, the jersey and the helmets worn by the players are classic and timeless. They should keep what they've got and only change if they introduce a third, alternate jersey that catches on big with the fans. But please, for the love of God, let's never have an alternate jersey as terrible as what the Seahawks introduced a few years ago. Players looked like giant glow in the dark, florescent, neon-green highlighters running around out there. Terrible.
The logo though ... I'm all for changing that. It's just a picture of a helmet. That's it. The helmets look good and timeless on the players, but not on a sports coat or any other gear. I'm really a fan of this guy here: http://idigitalcitizen.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/cleveland_browns-dog-1024x768.jpg?w=1024 It looks cool/badass while simultaneously being cartoony enough to draw in kids, gives love to the Dawg Pound and incorporates our team colors pretty well. Plus, there are no other team in the league that have a dog theme going. Who doesn't think dogs are cool and badass? They're man's best friend too for goodness sake.
As for changing the team colors, I can sum up how I feel about that in one word: blasphemy.
Your thoughts on this irrelevant, but fun, debate?

Zinc is a mineral that stimulates the activity of approximately 100 enzymes, which are substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body. These reactions are essential for the formation of superoxide dismutase, one of the body's most important free radical scavengers. Zinc also promotes immune function, taste sensitivity, protein and DNA synthesis, insulin production,reproductive organ development and sperm motility. Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.
Age-related declines in immune function are associated with zinc deficiency, and the elderly represent a group that is vulnerable to mild zinc deficiency. Certain aspects of immune function in the elderly have been found to improve with zinc supplementation.
Zinc lozenges with Vitamin C can provide immune support during the winter season. These lozenges are sweetened with sucrose and mannitol and have a natural orange flavor.
