"Web extra: Critical infrastructure security standards coming"
Information Security Handbook
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has released a draft of its Information Security Handbook. The handbook provides an overview of information security measures to give managers a better understanding of how to implement an information security program.
According to NIST's computer security resource center, the purpose of the handbook is to inform the information security management team about expected implementation and oversight of various aspects of information security in their organizations. The publication includes summaries of existing NIST publications and standards.
The 124-page document includes a section on designing, implementing and overseeing a program for awareness and training for information security standards. Other topics include summaries of the responsibilities of agency heads, developing a life cycle for systems development and detailing specific performance metrics for systems evaluation. There is an extensive Frequently Asked Questions section toward the end of the publication.
NIST is requesting that comments on the handbook be sent to email@example.com. NIST will be accepting comments until August 7.

'BP squad' assembled for criminal investigation
A team of federal investigators known as the "BP squad" is assembling in New Orleans to conduct a wide-ranging criminal probe that will focus on at least three companies and examine whether their cozy relations with federal regulators contributed to the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, according to law-enforcement and other sources.
The Washington Post
A team of federal investigators known as the "BP squad" is assembling in New Orleans to conduct a wide-ranging criminal probe that will focus on at least three companies and examine whether their cozy relations with federal regulators contributed to the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, according to law-enforcement and other sources.
The squad at the FBI offices includes investigators from the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Coast Guard and other federal agencies, the sources said. In addition to BP, the firms at the center of the inquiry are Transocean, which leased the Deepwater Horizon rig to BP, and engineering giant Halliburton, which had finished cementing the well only 20 hours before the rig exploded April 20, sources said.
While it had been known that investigators are examining potential violations of environmental laws, it is now clear that they also are looking into whether company officials made false statements to regulators, obstructed justice or falsified test results for devices such as the rig's failed blowout preventer. It is unclear whether any such evidence has surfaced.
One emerging line of inquiry, sources said, is whether inspectors for the Minerals Management Service (MMS), the federal agency charged with regulating the oil industry — which is itself investigating the disaster — went easy on the companies in exchange for money or other inducements.
"The net is wide," said one federal official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly.
The Justice Department investigation — announced in June by Attorney General Eric Holder and accompanied by parallel state criminal probes in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama — is one of at least nine investigations into the worst oil spill in U.S. history. Unlike the public hearings held last week in Kenner, La., by a federal investigatory panel, the criminal probe has operated in the shadows. But it could lead to large fines for the companies and jail time for executives if the government files charges and proves its case.
In an additional avenue of inquiry, BP disclosed in a regulatory filing Tuesday that the Justice Department and the Securities and Exchange Commission are looking into "securities matters" relating to the spill.
Brian Kennedy, a spokesman for Transocean, a former U.S. firm now based in Switzerland, declined to comment, as did Teresa Wong, a spokeswoman for Houston-based Halliburton.
Dems unveil bills
in response to spill
WASHINGTON — House and Senate Democratic leaders introduced bills Tuesday responding to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, with provisions to overhaul regulation of offshore drilling, lift liability limits on companies responsible for spills and funnel more money to spill-related research and restoration projects.
The bill comes as the oil slick in the Gulf of Mexico appears to be dissolving far more rapidly than expected.
The Senate bill introduced Tuesday falls far short of the comprehensive legislation on energy and climate change Senate Democrats and the White House have been pursuing for more than a year. Senate leaders abandoned that goal last week, conceding they did not have the support or time to pass any bill to begin to control greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.
The House passed a comprehensive climate bill in June 2009.
Both new measures call for a reorganization of the Minerals Management Service. They also call for tougher oversight of offshore operations, more assertive environmental monitoring and new fees on oil companies to help pay for compliance.
The 238-page House bill combines provisions from three bills passed since the April 20 blowout and fire on the Deepwater Horizon.
It includes a so-called bad-actor provision that would deny drilling rights to any company that has had more than 10 deaths offshore or at land-based oil operations over the previous seven years. That rule would now apply to only BP.
The Senate bill, sponsored by Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader, includes subsidies for projects that improve energy efficiency in homes, incentives linked to vehicles powered by electricity and natural gas, and spending on federal land and water projects.
Reid said the bill was intended to create jobs, lower energy costs, reduce dependence on foreign oil and tighten regulation of offshore drilling. But he acknowledged it was not the broad bill he wanted.
"This bill does not address every issue of importance to our nation's energy challenges," Reid said, "and we have to continue to work to find bipartisan agreement on a comprehensive bill."

A guiding principle is a series of beliefs and ideas upon which individuals draw moral standings. It is also used as the central theme around why a business is founded. Guiding principles are mental constants that people use to form opinions about the rest of the world and make important decisions.
Guiding principles are the core beliefs that each person holds. These concepts vary from one individual to the next, depending on genetic factors, life experiences and educational background. The future choices a person makes are all based on the guiding principles which that person develops over the course of a lifetime.
The influence of guiding principles is felt in many major wars, political factions and religious environments. These methods of thinking are linked to individual moral cores, but people are often drawn together in certain groups or toward specific causes when their guiding principles align.
Businesses use guiding principles to establish the tenets and corporate culture of a firm. This serves as a mission statement and provides the company with direction and guidance throughout the major decisions associated with its livelihood. Guiding principles in the corporate landscape are determined by the founders and voted on by a board of directors or upper management.

AMD FX 8150 processor review
by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 10/12/2011 08:07 AM | Source | 0 comment(s) ]
We review the AMD FX 8150 processor today. Previously know as Zambezi with its Bulldozer cores, today the FX series is released. It will be AMD's most high-end and complicated to fab processor series to date, yet will remain an affordable processor series.
As you probably know, the product tested today has eight (!) physical CPU cores, it will have a base clock of 3600 MHz, may Turbo towards 3900 MHZ and can peak a thread or two at a cool 4200 MHz. And that makes the FX series a multi-threaded monster. You can read our review right here.

WASHINGTON – After more than four years of diplomacy, the Obama administration is struggling to contain the nuclear threats posed by North Korea and Iran, a pair of nations already isolated internationally and resistant to the economic incentives offered in return for an end to their programs.
The nuclear ambitions of both countries predate the Obama administration, which has focused its efforts on international diplomacy to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon and to stop North Korea from restarting its once-dormant nuclear program.
But amid more bellicose threats from North Korea and on the eve of a new round of talks with Iran, neither the administration nor its allies appear any closer to resolving either case.
North Korea brought the Obama administration's difficulties into sharp relief Tuesday by announcing that it would restart a shuttered nuclear reactor at its Yongbyon facility and increase production of nuclear weapons material.
The administration has played down North Korea's recent warnings, and U.S. officials suggested that the threat to restart the reactor might be a bluff. Still, the administration made clear that it is alarmed by recent statements from North Korea and its young leader, Kim Jong Un.
What Kim Jong Un has been choosing to do is provocative, it is dangerous, reckless, Secretary of State John Kerry said after a meeting with South Korea's visiting foreign minister.
Kerry noted that he will be in Seoul next week and that the new president of South Korea will meet President Obama in Washington in May. Both Kerry and Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se said that diplomacy could still be salvaged but that the onus is on North Korea.
In the case of Iran, the administration is pursuing an elusive deal to halt that country's nuclear advances. Diplomats from the United States and five other world powers will meet with Iranian officials in Kazakhstan on Friday for negotiations aimed at persuading Tehran to agree to limits on its nuclear program. A round of talks in February was hailed as positive by Iranian officials, but it yielded no concessions by Iran.
Western diplomats involved in preparations for this week's talks say Iran is expected to make a new offer that would include an agreement to restrict or suspend some of its production of enriched uranium. But they say Iran is likely to insist on immediate relief from economic sanctions, something that the United States and its European allies are not likely to grant.
While Iran says its nuclear program is designed to produce electricity, North Korea has conducted three nuclear bomb tests since 2006. The first two tests used fissile material produced by the reactor at Yongbyon, which was shut down in 2007 as part of a diplomatic deal under which heavy fuel oil was sent to North Korea.
Pyongyang said Tuesday that it wanted to restart the reactor and other nuclear facilities to ease the nation's acute shortage of electricity and to bolster the nuclear armed force both in quality and quantity. Experts who have visited the Yongbyon facility say the small reactor is ill-suited for power production and geared to produce weapons-grade plutonium.
Plutonium can be culled from the spent fuel. When the reactor is fully running, it can produce enough plutonium for about one bomb per year, experts say.
Restarting the reactor will take about six months, unless they have been doing much of the preparatory work quietly, Siegfried Hecker, a former director of the Los Alamos National Laboratory who has visited the North's nuclear facilities numerous times, said in an email.
In response to North Korea's recent threats, the United States has flown its largest and most powerful bombers over the Korean Peninsula and sent two stealth F-22 fighter jets to South Korea as part of a joint military exercise.
The Pentagon has deployed a second guided-missile destroyer to waters near the peninsula, defense officials said Tuesday.
The USS Decatur has joined the USS John McCain in the region, where they will be poised to respond to any missile threats to our allies or our territory, George Little, the Pentagon press secretary, told reporters.
Experts remain uncertain about the material used in the North's latest underground test, in February. Some U.S. officials suspect that the device used highly enriched uranium, which would indicate that North Korea has a second path to nuclear bombs.

Qatar Airways chief concerned about Dreamliner safety
Qatar has placed orders for 60 Dreamliners - 30 firm and an option for 30 more.
December 12, 2012 8:35 by Reuters
Qatar Airways, which received its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner earlier this month, will take appropriate action against the planemaker if a recent manufacturing fault in the fuel line is not resolved, its chief executive Baker said.
U.S. regulators ordered the entire fleet of 787 jets to be inspected for a possible fuel line problem earlier this month, on the same day a brand new United Airlines Dreamliner with 184 people aboard was forced to make an emergency landing due to an undefined mechanical issue.
Baker said the incidents were a concern.
"It is very worrying for us because we are an operator. If it continues we will have to see what action we can take from the options contractually (available) with us."
Qatar has placed orders for 60 Dreamliners – 30 firm and an option for 30 more.
The mechanical issues, while not uncommon for airlines, are another headache for Boeing – a company still working to overcome the negative perception of production problems that delayed delivery of the 787 by 3-1/2 years.
Baker also said Qatar Airways was still in talks with Canadian planemaker Bombardier to buy 10 corporate jets in a deal valued around $700 million.
The chief executive said in April the order was imminent, without specifying a time frame.
However, he said no talks were ongoing on the CSeries aircraft at the moment.
"It (CSeries jet) is interesting but we are not talking to them about it because we are too busy with our other programmes. Once we finish, we will talk to them about it," said Baker.

(My first book of essays — Things and Stuff — was published in 2011 as something of an experiment. The result was, in many ways, premature.

Papal Marxism and Other Mental Infections: On the U.S. Reception of Evangelii Gaudium
There is a rumor going around about Pope Francis in the United States, after the promulgation of his exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium (EG). Apparently he is a Marxist, or something like that. Rush Limbaugh seems to have been the first one to say it, or at least the loudest one, calling EG "pure Marxism."Add to that the recent bone-headed column at Fox News, comparing Francis to Obama, and I think you can see a pattern. If you can't, then there is this, too: the always classy Limbaugh has … [Read more...]

Because churches are decorated and arranged for more than ornamental purposes. The pictures, colors, structure, style, and order of a church are all deeply catechetical. The images teach and show.

Plums can mean summertime sweetness wrapped in party-dress colors. Fruit clothed in red, yellow, green or purple-black skin with juicy flesh, smooth textured like deep-pile velvet. Sweet, but with an irresistible tart flavor edge. Flowery fragrant.
They've been cultivated since prehistoric times, longer perhaps than any other fruit except the apple.
So it's not surprising that another definition for plum is any desirable object, something that is the best of a collection.
A plum-great day, a plum assignment ... and well, a plum-good plum.
And this year, more plums seem to be available. Friends report bumper crops from local backyard trees, one pal complaining that her greedy potbellied pig, Hamlet, has gained more than 10 pounds from seasonal plum scavenging. Commercial plum growers report healthy crops, too.
Plum varieties are harvested at varying times during the season (late May through October in California), so the contents of those generic bins change. For example, the ``black'' plums could be Blackamber plums in late June, but Friar or Angeleno in late July or August. The ``red'' plums can be Red Beauts in May, but later in the season, might be Santa Rosa, Fortune or Royal Diamond plums.
But there are hundreds of varieties, in shapes and sizes that range from small round marbles to heart-shaped mangoes, plus new fruits that are crosses between plums and apricots, such as Pluots and Apriums, so you can search out the ones you like the best. Some supermarkets, farmers markets and health-food groceries offer several choices.
They can all be great for eating out of hand or cooking into a sweet or savory concoction. It's important to know just how to select and store plums, so you maximize their luscious flavors.
Buying and storing: If you're buying plums to eat them right away, they should be soft enough to give to gentle palm pressure (but not squishy-soft), and they should have a sweet aroma. Avoid skin that's shriveled or bruised.
If you're buying for later use, buy firmer fruit (see brown-bag ripening). Look for full color. If it's a red plum, most of plum should be red; if it's a black plum, the surface should be almost entirely black.
Never put firm plums in the refrigerator. According to the California Tree Fruit Agreement (an association of peach, plum and nectarine growers), chilling unripened plums can cause ``internal breakdown,'' flesh that is dry, mealy and/or flavorless. Once fruit is soft and gives to gentle palm pressure, it can be stored in the refrigerator for several days.
Keep fruit away from the windowsill. Setting fruit in or near direct sunlight can cause it to shrivel.
Easy brown-bag ripening: To ripen, place firm plums in paper bag. Loosely close top and keep at room temperature for a day or two. As plums ripen, they give off ethylene. The paper bag traps the ethylene close to the plums, while still allowing for exchange of air into and out of the bag. Plastic bags will not work correctly and can cause ``off-flavors'' in fruit.
A gauzy gray jacket, no problem: The pale, silvery-gray coating on a plum's skin is natural and doesn't affect taste. A good rinse with cold water and it'll be ready to eat.

Depends on how much paper you have…and you would measure it in tons(2000lbs)
If you have a little, you will probably have to pay to have it taken away, or maybe take it to a recycling depot and leave it for free.
If you have A LOT or tons, it is worth money and someone may pay you for it.
Paper is a commodity, a resource, like oil, wood, or energy even. It's value will depend largely on how much of it you have and the market value of paper. The market value can fluctuate widely depending on supply and demand and, you guessed it, the economy. For example, when I was in the recycling business in the 1990′s, the price of cardboard(used) went from being worth 700$ per ton(that's a LOT!), to being worthless in a matter of weeks because of aver-abundant supply!
Look up "waste management" or "recycling" in your area. Here in Canada, you can drop off paper and cardboard at most bottle depots for free. They also pick it up at the road like regular garbage.
Good luck!

Innocence lost: The child soldiers forced to murder
How does a former child-soldier cope with civilian life? Nick Taussig discovered the awful truth when he met Ojok Charles, a veteran of the Lord's Resistance Army
Sunday 07 December 2008
The first time I met Ojok Charles it was August 2006. I was travelling in central and east Africa, specifically Uganda, on the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo. I was researching my novel, which is set amid the prolific brutality of the region, and I was looking for characters. Within hours of meeting Ojok, a 14-year-old with a pronounced limp and a heavy scar on the top of his head, I knew I'd found my co-protagonist.
His slight build and baby face belied the horror experienced in his short life. Before he'd even hit puberty he had shot enemy troops, looted villages and brutally murdered civilians – and all against his will: Ojok had been abducted at the age of 10 by the Lord's Resistance Army, a Ugandan rebel group led by the atavistic cult leader Joseph Kony, and forced to fight as a child soldier for three years, during which time killing became routine. But as a child soldier Ojok was as much a victim as his victims.
Currently, across the border in eastern Congo, this is happening to other children, too. Child-soldier recruitment has soared during the current wave of violence and children are targeted by militia groups precisely because they are children: they can be broken down quickly and be killing in no time.
Though it seems strange to say, because his horrific experiences will never be erased, Ojok is one of the lucky ones – he, at least, escaped alive, still young enough to recover – and when we met he was being helped to recuperate by a charity in Kampala.
I told him about the book I was writing – a novel about the friendship between two teenage orphans, one a boy, the other a gorilla, a young silverback, both of whom are on the run: the boy, from the horrors he has committed as a child soldier; the gorilla from the violent hand of man. Then I asked whether he could help me. Looking at me through big, brown eyes, sad but determined, Ojok said, "Let me tell you my story."
It was 2002 and he was 10. He was living in an internal displacement camp in Kitgum, northern Uganda. Africa's longest-running civil war, between the Ugandan government and the Lord's Resistance Army, was raging. Hundreds of thousands of people were being driven from their homes and forced to live in temporary shelter, and thousands of children were being abducted by the rebels and forced to fight. Ojok would be next.
"They took me from my bed in the middle of the night," he said. "They tied me up and dragged me into the bush. I didn't have any shoes on, and I was wearing only my underpants and a T-shirt." He was made to walk for 12 hours, then permitted to rest, briefly, on hard ground, on a bed of leaves, in the dirt, damp and rain. He was not fed, just given water. And then he was ordered to walk again, for another 12 hours. This went on for three days. "By the end I was so tired and so hungry," he went on, "and my feet were swollen with blisters." Then he was stripped naked and paraded in front of a number of men in uniform. He was told he must obey these men at all times, and that if he didn't, he'd be killed. Finally, he was fed.
He spent his first week of captivity as a porter, carrying munitions. Next, he was trained to fight: to use a machete in hand-to-hand combat, to load and shoot a machine gun, to fire a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, and to lay landmines. His training lasted for just one week, after which he was ordered to loot and fight. "Now we have given you the power to kill someone, you must do it," he was told. "If you do not, we will kill you."
Hours later he helped to raid a small village for food and supplies. It was full of women and children, and his orders were to kill them – all of them. When he said this, he paused, looking at me with almost excruciating pain and anguish. I didn't push him to elaborate. His look said enough. Over the next few years Ojok would be forced to commit many more atrocities. After his first year of fighting he was orphaned, his mother and father murdered by fellow rebels; and in his second year, he was seriously wounded, shot in the head and lower leg. In 2005, after slipping away during an ambush by Ugandan government forces, Ojok finally escaped.
He lived off the land for a number of days, before being captured and taken, first, to government barracks, where he was questioned; then to a rehabilitation centre for child returnees, those recently escaped or freed.
At first, Ojok ate as much food as he could and slept day and night. "It was wonderful to sleep in shelter, on a bed and mattress, with clean sheets," he told me. "After three years sleeping on the forest floor I thought I'd never sleep in a bed again."
For the first few weeks he barely spoke, other than to utter his name, and he never smiled. He was numb inside, and had been for a long time. However, as the weeks became months he started to feel more, receiving counselling and emotional support at the centre. Many former child-soldiers are unable to live with themselves post-conflict, the burden of guilt and sorrow is simply too great. Ojok was encouraged to be totally honest about all he had done. "I was scared to tell them at first, I felt so ashamed. But they helped me understand that I did what every other child would have done in my situation. They said they would not punish me and so I told them everything."
While at the centre he met someone from Outside the Dream, a charitable foundation that helps former child-soldiers get back to school. Ojok was determined to resume his education despite his years of absence, and dreamt of attending university.
I spent several weeks with Ojok, and before I returned to England I became his sponsor. While writing the novel he was always close by: I had recorded our conversations, and listening to his words from the privilege an comfort of my London flat, I saw more and more quite how extraordinary this boy was. He had suffered terribly, and he had been forced to inflict terrible suffering on others, yet he had found a way through; he had reclaimed his humanity. Could I have reclaimed mine, had I been forced to do what he did? I'm not sure.
When I finished writing I returned to Uganda. I was anxious to see Ojok, to give him a copy of the book. Back at school, I'd heard that he was near the top of his class. I waited at the school gates. It had rained that morning, but now the grey sky was slowly clearing, the sun pushing through a black bank of clouds. A young man walked towards me: he was smiling.
When I left Ojok that day, the clouds had cleared, the sky was blue, and the sun shone strongly. I know, somehow, that despite everything, Ojok will be OK. Yes, he'll still have nightmares and times when he'll agonise over what he did. Yet these cries of his conscience are also what make him human once more. n

A nation at war: Uganda's civil strife
Since the late 1980s over two million people have been displaced in Uganda, and more than 25,000 children have been abducted by the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and forced to serve as combatants.
Two years of peace talks between the LRA and government stalled this year. Meanwhile, the LRA has become more active in neighbouring eastern Congo, already in the thick of its own complex civil wars. Capitalising on the surrounding chaos, the LRA has begun abducting Congolese children to bolster its numbers. And it is not the only militia group to do so – it is a practice rife in the region: according to the Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers, there are more than 7,000 children fighting in government forces and armed groups in eastern Congo, and an estimated 5.5 million people have been killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo since the beginning of the armed conflict in 1998.
Outside the Dream offers education and hope to those whose lives are collapsing under the burden of extreme poverty and war. Former child-soldiers, orphans, the homeless and the vulnerable are given the opportunity to attend school. The charity has three main programmes: student sponsorship, educational partnership and micro-enterprise. NT

If LG and Apple probably got together ever to make a phone, it would probably look like this!
The Lava Xolo X900 clearly has the design influences from an Apple iPhone 4 and some of the LG phones out there.
Look & Feel
This is no mean feat from the designers at Lava International that the Xolo looks and feels very classy. The finish has a generous amount of premium feel to it. And it is very important to do that successfully, considering the price tag, but not as easy to implement. The 4.03-inch display has a very thin bezel on the right and left side. On the top is the front-facing camera and the silver coloured earpiece. Below the display are four touch sensitive keys – return, options, Home and search. Flat sides all around, and that is why we say it has the design inspiration from the iPhone. On the left spine is the micro HDMI port. On the right side is the volume rocker, micro SIM card slot that is essentially a slide out tray and a physical camera key.
Flip the phone over and what you see is a nice rubberized finish – this should be very helpful in the Indian summer! We have seen this on many smartphones before this as well, and we always prefer this on the rear side, very helpful in gripping the phone on a warm sweaty day and typing with the same hand that is holding the phone. The 8MP camera is towards the top, while the phone clearly flaunts the Intel Inside logo towards the bottom. The only bad element is that when placed flat on a table, the top portion of the phone rests on the camera – not good. You will have to be a bit careful of where you are keeping this phone, and how hard you have put it down!
Clearly, the design is a salute to the iPhone 4 / iPhone 4S, with the front looking something like the Optimus series of smartphones from LG. The chrome frame around the display, well…! Users cannot access the battery. Something that we don't understand about phones that don't allow users access to the battery is – why not just have a darned unibody design for the phone then? After all, unibody design will look a lot better!
Features & Performance
With most things Intel, there are product names and numbers, and then there are the codenames. In this case as well, the same cocktail prevails. Don't worry, we will help you through the deluge of it all!
Speaking of hardware specs, include an Intel Atom Z2460 SoC (codenamed Penwell) that includes a 1.6GHz single core CPU (codenamed Saltwell) with Hyper-Threading, and the PowerVR SGX540 GPU clocked at 400MHz, and 1GB of 32-bit dual channel LPDDR2 memory. The entire platform is codenamed Medfield.
In terms of performance, we were quite impressed with the overall smoothness of the OS, slick opening of apps and no real strain because of the background processes. In a real life usage scenario, the Xolo doesn't feel much inferior to infinitely more powerful HTC One X! Even we were surprised with that, and to verify if what we felt was indeed true, we ran a series of benchmarks on the Lava Xolo, HTC One X (read our review) and the Sony Xperia S (read our review), and this is how they compare. What you will notice for most benchmark scores is that the HTC One X is obviously the winner, considering it is the first quad-core powered pocket rocket to arrive in the market. However, the Xolo does get better benchmark scores than the 1.5GHz dual core processor powered, and significantly more powerful Sony Xperia S.
If you had read the First Impressions story, we had compared the Xolo's benchmarks with a lot of phones, including the Samsung Galaxy SII. In most of the tests, you will notice that the Xolo is doing significantly better than the SII.
Graphics performance on the Xolo should be quite good, technically, at least as far as the spec sheet indicates. The Xolo has a PowerVR SGX 540 graphics while the HTC One X has the GeForce ULP chip and the Xperia S has the humble Adreno 220. However, we were surprised to see the HTC One X finishing way ahead of the Xolo, and even the Xperia S nudging it into last place. To reconfirm, we ran the GLBenchmark tests – Egypt Standard and Egypt Pro (offscreen). The HTC One X was the clear winner in both tests, and while the Xolo did move ahead of the Xperia S, it wasn't by much. The supposed advantage on the spec sheet doesn't really translate into actual gaming performance on the Xolo.
During slightly intensive tasks, the Xolo did become quite warm, mostly in the lower middle portion of the back panel, just above the Intel logo. Not only is it uncomfortable, but also affects battery life. Usually happens when you are browsing the web, or playing a game, or something equally stressing on the power package.
The humble 4.03-inch TFT LCD display has a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels, but what really impressed us was the combination of text crispness and adequate colour punch. The resolution is on the higher side, which makes the crispness bit very critical. We say it time and again that the AMOLED family of displays has the maximum colour punch, but this humble LCD does have its own solid points. It is blown away by the likes of the Galaxy S II (read our review) and even the HTC One X, in terms of colour vividness. This is very clear when you are watching a video on the device. We were impressed by how smoothly this display handles fast moving scenes in videos, with no judder while panning. However, reading text on the Xolo's display is so much more comfortable than a lot of the rivals, some with better displays at least on the spec sheet. Despite having a smaller display than the HTC One X, we could read text on web pages without having to necessarily zoom in. that is quite an achievement, albeit mostly in landscape mode. The Xolo's display also has the Gorilla Glass treatment. The only thing going against it is the reflective nature of it all. The display isn't natively very bright, and you will need to turn up the brightness quite a bit to comfortably use it in most scenarios.
One of the possible reasons why the Xolo feels slick in terms of UI performance is the very simple UI that Lava has wrapped around Android. Unlike HTC Sense and Timescape, Xolo's UI skin is minimalistic. We couldn't help but make comparisons to some budget smartphones that come with similar skins! However, it is no laughing matter, and on a serious note, this works in the Xolo's favor. We have complained time and again that badly optimized skins affect performance of the UI in general.
Disappointing bits now. The first being, this comes with Android 2.3.7 (okay, it is the latest in the 2.3 series, we admit). We expected ICS out of the box on this one, considering it is a very important phone for Lava as well as Intel. Lava, like all other Android smartphone manufacturers, have confirmed that there will be an update for the Xolo in the near future, but we will believe it when we see it. Second, the built-in speakers are a huge disappointment. For the speakerphone bit, they are sufficient if you are soundproofed from the rest of the world for the most part. However, it just doesn't work for the multimedia bit, and that is a disappointment. If you are listening to music or watching a video without headphones, the Xolo's speakers will just not have the volume punch.
The 8MP camera, at least on the spec sheet, should have been excellent. And it sort of is, for the most part. Images do have a decent amount of depth and considerable crispness when taking shots in good light. From the test shot of the green leaves, you can clearly see the distict colour shades. However, if you look at the photograph of the picture frame on the wall, you can see some bit of noise. That is a shot taken in traditional indoor lighting. Video quality isn't very good, with a distinct lack of crispness and a certain amount of instability.
Battery life has turned out to be a huge disappointment. It is difficult to get through the day on a single charge, with this phone under a usage scenario that you usually deploy on your primary phone. As smartphones go, this is not ideal at all. Usually, this will become a little easier to achieve if you turn off Wi-Fi and 3G, but that is just not something you would appreciate after having spent a lot of money on this phone!
Our TakeThe Lava Xolo has a box price of Rs 25999, and is retailing in the market for around Rs. 23,000. What we have seen with this Intel powered smartphone is a glimpse of the future. The Z2460 stands up well against the likes of the ARM Cortex A9, but the real kicker will come towards the end of this year when the Z2580 with the dual core SGX544MP2 graphics arrives on the scene. Expect that to be here around the time the Windows 8 tablets come into being. The Xolo, with the Intel Saltwell processor, and it is not a surprise, is scoring better than the likes of the Samsung Galaxy SII and the HTC Sensation, and is running very close to the Sony Xperia S. Do remember, the SII, Sensation and the Xperia S are significantly more expensive in the market. We can safely say that it is a solid second in the performance chart, which the HTC One X leads not surprisingly. What Intel (and whoever is making the smartphone) needs to solve the battery issue, and get the graphics performance up to competitive levels. A very solid start for Intel, but what we are really waiting for is a real "I want this" device.

Trailing for much of the game, UK grabbed its first lead with 6:08 left when Don Mills hit a hook shot to give the Wildcats a 61-60 lead. Moments later, Cox hit a jump shot to make it 63-60 and UK never trailed again.

Electric Guitars - Bring a classic into your home with the Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Plaintop Reissue Gloss solidbody electric guitar. This is one of the most accurate vintage Les Paul reproductions to date. This axe features an updated antique finish, non-weight-relieved mahogany body, classic hardware, hide-glued neck and fretboard, hand-carved maple top, new truss rod and tuner designs, and more. Owning the Gibson Custom 1958 Les Paul Plaintop Reissue Gloss solidbody electric guitar is truly like owning a piece of music history. Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Plaintop Reissue Gloss Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:Updated vintage appointments are more authentic than everCustomBucker pickups deliver vintage PAF toneMahogany neck with early 1950's profile for a period-correct feelUpdated vintage appointments are more authentic than everGibson's latest Custom Shop guitars include new appointments to add even more authenticity and vintage vibe to their guitars. Necks and fretboards are now attached using hide glue, which many argue sounds better than synthetic glue. Gibson Custom Shop also re-engineered the truss rod, truss rod washer, and anchor to their original form. They also eliminated the tubing that surrounded the truss rod. New Kluson Green Key Tuners now feature proper vintage profile, color, and performance specifications. These features and others make the Gibson Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Plaintop Reissue Gloss one of the most accurate reproductions ever.CustomBucker pickups deliver vintage PAF toneGibson Custom paid just as much attention to the 1958 Les Paul Plaintop Reissue's electronics as they did to its aesthetics. Beginning with vintage CTS potentiometers and bumble bee capacitors, every part of its internal signal path is designed to give you absolutely dead-on '58 Les Paul tone. Of course, it's next to impossible to find genuine '50s PAFs (even for Gibson). Instead, the Custom Shop 1958 Les Paul Plaintop Reissue Gloss sports a pair of Gibson's CustomBucker humbuckers. The CustomBucker is the most historically accurate PAF copy ever. You just won't find another Les Paul that comes as close to the original look, sound, and feel of a '58 Les Paul!Mahogany neck with early 1950s profile and rosewood fingerboardWhen early Les Pauls are discussed (and they are at great length), a big issue is always the neck profile. The earliest Les Pauls had big, fat necks made of mahogany. The neck was slimmed down a bit in 1959, and it finally evolved into what's known today as the SlimTaper neck in 1960. Some players love those huge old necks while others prefer the SlimTaper design. This '58 Les Paul Plaintop Reissue Gloss has a bound mahogany neck with long neck tenon and the original chunky '50s rounded neck profile, which is historically accurate. Take it from the guitar experts at Sweetwater - the long neck tenon and larger neck profile deliver increased tone and sustain compared to other guitars. The rosewood fingerboard has acrylic trapezoid inlays that are both accurate in shape and color. Nickel-plated hardware and vintage tulip tuners complete the package.
