MUMBAI--Jet Airways (India) Ltd. (532617.BY) has submitted a revised agreement to an Indian regulator to get approval for its long-pending plan to sell a stake to Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways P.J.S.C., two people familiar with the terms of the deal said recently.
The new agreement has been filed with the Foreign Investment Promotion Board which examines foreign investment proposals and meets Monday afternoon to take a decision on the deal, the people said. The revised agreement reduces the number of members that Etihad can appoint on Jet's board, the people added.
Officials at Jet and Etihad declined to comment.
In April, the Indian airline had announced its plan to sell a 24% stake to Etihad for $380 million, but the deal has since been hanging in limbo as Indian regulators have raised questions about who would control the company after the deal is completed.
"We need more details of effective control and ownership," Arvind Mayaram, India's economic affairs secretary who heads the Foreign Investment Promotion Board, had told reporters in early June. Mr. Mayaram hadn't specified what details the board wanted.
In April, Jet and Etihad had said in a news release that "substantial ownership and effective control (of Jet) will remain with Indian nationals." The statement added that Jet founder Naresh Goyal would be the company's non-executive chairman, holding a 51% stake.
The original deal had given Etihad the right to appoint three directors to Jet's board, and to nominate the vice chairman.
However, the revised agreement would allow Etihad to appoint no more than two members to Jet's board, the people familiar with the deal said. It wasn't immediately clear if Etihad retained the right to appoint a vice chairman.
The Jet-Etihad deal is a key test of India's resolve to attract foreign money after it relaxed caps on various sectors last year.
In September, India allowed foreign airlines to own up to 49% in Indian carriers. Until then, foreign carriers had been barred from such investments because India feared financially stronger foreign companies would take control of the Indian carriers.
Most Indian airlines have been incurring losses due to high taxes on fuel, competition, and a decline in passengers. Jet was among the first Indian airlines to try to take advantage of the change in rules.
Jet's shares briefly touched a low of 388 rupees in afternoon trade Monday before recovering to trade 5% up at 417 rupees on the Bombay Stock Exchange.

Brandon Hochman is like many other motorcyclists. Into all sorts of bikes. The guy has a mind like many motorcyclists – and when he lost his dog it broke his heart. So he decided to do something about it. Combining his passion for riding and marketing savvy from years of snowboard competition (Brandon was in the first 2 X-Games), entrepreneurial spirit (as the owner of PETaPOTTY) and sense of adventure he struck out on a customized Sportbike to spread the word to chip your pets. His pain became his message to encouraged dog owners to chip and register their best friends, so they would not suffer the same fate he did. ride4humanity.com is the result.
After a successful ride from Los Angeles to New York City, Brandon was set for the return trip and more weeks of adventure on two wheels. Unfortunately, his custom 2006 Suzuki GSXR was stolen a scant three hours before his slated departure. Brandon has holed up in Brooklyn for three weeks hoping that the unique machine would pop up, and despite some attention from the local police department, there are no strong leads.
Indian Motorcycle is proud to loan Brandon a new 2015 Indian Roadmaster to head back home. Brandon will depart on Monday the 29th, and will travel in style and comfort on the most luxurious motorcycle to bear the Indian brand.
Brandon has been leaning on the kindness of friends, pet lovers and strangers as he crosses the country to spread the word by couch surfing and staying in guest rooms. You can follow his adventure via - Facebook.com/ride4
Please find attached a press release from Brandon, as well as images of his stolen motorcycle. Individuals with leads or information on the custom 2012 Suzuki GSXR should contact the NYPD 90th Pct. – Detective unit at (718) 963-5368 As a friend in the industry – I personally ask you to spread the word and help bust the scum-sucking punk thieves.
Thanks for your attention, and for helping tell one motorcyclists story. Have a great weekend – and chip your pet while you are at it!Unless it's a goldfish, that would be overkill.

From The Washington Post: "The Library of Congress no longer needs the computer room that visitors once used to search its electronic card catalogue. These days the entire library has a wireless Internet connection, so workers this summer put a collection of old microfilm machines in that room instead. Meanwhile, the library's old-school physical catalogues, the kind filled with carefully penned index cards, have long since been relegated to cool basement hallways where schoolchildren marvel at their obscurity. "I told them, 'Before Google, this is what we used to do,' " said Fenella France, the library's chief of preservation research. "They had never seen [card catalogues] before. Then I was teaching children another day, and I said, 'Let's go clockwise,' and they just looked at me. I said, 'Oh, no. Didn't you learn analog?'" These are some of the several quiet moves that hint at much larger changes underway at the Library of Congress." Full Story
Aaron Swartz, an advocate for open access to academic journals, committed suicide in January after being charged with hacking into MIT computers and illegally downloading nearly 5 million academic journal articles from JSTOR, one of the largest digital archives of scholarly journals in the world. At the time of Swartz's death, the 26-year-old faced 13 federal felony computer fraud charges — and the near certainty of jail time.
In this NPR blog All Tech Considered, MIT denied "targeting" the programmer and claimed no wrongdoing. But the report raises concerns about existing university policies and whether MIT should have been actively involved in supporting Swartz.
Perhaps the best thing we can do, in planning for onsite library computing today, is to aim for maximum flexibility. Students may express a demand for desktops today, but it's hard to imagine that will be our future. When we gaze out upon our fields of computers we should, in our mind's eye, envisions it as a room that holds nothing but an enormous, as far-as-the-eye-can see card catalog. Because, ultimately, as the next generations of students make it to our doors, it is less likely they will expect us to provide them with computers, and it may be that they would consider such amenities laughable and a waste of their tuition dollars. It is a bit premature perhaps, but not unreasonable, for us to begin thinking about how we will use all the space currently devoted to desktop and laptop-loan computers. My crystal ball is less clear on this matter, although I suspect we can always improve things by expanding the café.
In a stunning demonstration of Poe's law, the American Historical Association has released a policy statement favoring the restriction digital theses ("with access being provided only on that campus") for fears that open access versions could be read. The basis for this argument is FUD about a tenure system that apparently cannot be changed. See Inside Higher Ed and The Chronicle for more coverage.
Phishing attacks targeting academia aren't the most high-profile of attacks, though they're more common than you might think. Student populations in themselves constitute a sizeable pool of potential victims for money mule recruitment and other job scams, in fact anything that promises an easy supplemental income, unfeasibly cheap or free trendy gadgetry, and so on. But I'm talking about attacks against the institutions, rather than their 'customers': for example, targeted social engineering attacks as a means of accessing intellectual property. Some academic research has appreciable monetary value in its own right, and much of it is developed in partnership with and funded by businesses with a direct interest in monetizing it: that makes it of interest to people with an interest in getting in first.
A decade or so ago, ISI's EndNote bought out most of the competition, practically obtaining a monopoly on the reference manager business. In the early Library 2.0 boom, web-based products like Zotero and CSA's RefWorks became the norm. Thomson Reuters played catch up by introducing EndNote Web, and NoodleBib and other adware/freemium clones cropped up in what is now again a crowded marketplace.
Mendeley, recently purchased by Elsevier, has gained fame by offering social media integration and and sharing cababilities. It notably works on the old Questia model of selling itself directly to individual users, not institutions. ProQuest is also putting the finishing touches on RefWorks Flow, which features similar collaboration tools.
The way these newer products allow users to share articles with peers raises interesting questions about them potentially being used as a new "Napster for subscription journals," especially since they are now both owned by major publishers. See my comment for some more philosophical questions....
The Boston Herald reports on a project undertaken by Greenfield, MA Community College Librarian Hope Schneider.
On a wall in the corner of Greenfield Community College's Nahman-Watson Library, 128 artifacts from the library's card catalog hang preserved in a glass case — signed by the authors who penned the very books to which the cards once led.
The project has been 14 years in the making for librarian Schneider, who wanted to memorialize the cards after the library's catalog went digital in 1999. In the years that followed, Schneider sent cards to local authors and artists, asking if they would sign their card and make some contribution to the display. A decade later, after GCC's library was expanded, she resumed her quest — sending letters across the country to novelists, poets and politicians.
Library Director Deborah Chown said Schneider's project captures a time when people would find new books through serendipity — simply because it was next to another book or classified through a similar subject matter. Chown and Schneider don't deny the advantages that new library technology offers — the opportunity to search rapidly through online databases and access books, journals and newspaper articles.
But there was also some surprise and sadness when a tour of prospective students came through the library, saw the display and didn't recognize the cards.
It's not often that poems are written about the special collections of libraries. However, University of Cambridge museums and collections have recently taken part in 'Thresholds', a poetry project whereby leading poets attached themselves to a different museum or library and were commissioned to write a new poem informed and inspired by the collections in that institution http://www.thresholds.org.uk/.
Imtiaz Dharker was the Poet in Residence at Cambridge University
Library. During her many visit to the library she was shown some maps
from the collection and was inspired by these, and in particular a world
map from the Abraham Ortelius' "Theatrum orbis terrarum" published
in 1584 (the map where the mended crack on the copper plate can be seen), to write a poem entitled: "When the copperplate cracks"
She can be heard reading this poem, accompanied by a video which
includes pictures of this map, at

So, who can map the future?
From The New York Times Arts Beat:
What is the sound of two heads reading?
On Tuesday, in a hushed sixth-floor reading room in New York University's Bobst Library packed with students cramming for final exams, the answer might have seemed to be: nothing much.
But for three pairs of readers scattered among the laptop-laden tables, wearing special headphones hooked up to iPod Nanos and shuffling through a pile of suspiciously literary books, the act of reading was transformed into a strange — and sometimes very loud — drama of turning pages, pointing fingers and eerily drifting thoughts.
"The first thing you notice is that for a place dedicated to silence, there's not really that much silence at all," a British-accented voice whispered into the readers' ears. "After a while you start to think that it might be better considered as a place dedicated to the collection of sounds."
The readers, who had signed up in advance, were both the audience and the stars of "The Quiet Volume," a 55-minute stealth performance piece by the British artists Ant Hampton and Tim Etchells being staged through Sunday by Performance Space 122 as part of the PEN World Voices Festival. (The piece, which also comes in a Spanish-language version, is also running at the Schomburg Center in Harlem.)
"The whole thing made you think about the nature of your sensory experience while reading, the relationship between the voice in your head and the words on the page," said Jessica Harris, a graduate student who had just finished performing the piece with a friend.
This week's program starts off with a brief essay talking about the disintegration of having a coherent "popular culture" in the United States then turns to the strange case of the Harlem Shake in Oxford. After that the episode wraps up with a news miscellany.

text: Pacific Rim is that movie you created in your head as a kid when you sat on your bedroom floor and bashed your robot toy and your monster toy together. No more, no less. It's a sci-fi fantasy B-movie with FX far beyond anything those guys making these kinds of movies in the 1950s could ever have imagined. Whether or not that is the kind of movie you would like to see brought to life by state-of-the-art special effects will ultimately determine whether or not you enjoy the movie.

FIll-in referees begin talking Brad Biggs
The replacement officials have moved on, many of them back to the low college levels they came from where they will be able to work without the incredible scrutiny there was in the NFL.
Now, some of them are finally speaking out about the experience after being prevented from speaking with media as part of normal NFL rules regarding officials.
Sam Borden of the New York Times caught up with Jeff Sadours, who was singled out earlier for working a Seattle Seahawks game after he had been a paid official at practices for the club over the years, a conflict of interest.
"Honestly, sometimes during this whole thing it felt like the national pastime in this country had changed from football to bashing replacement officials," Sadorus said. "Everyone wanted perfection, but come on: the last guy who was perfect they nailed to a cross. And he wasn't even an official."
The burden was tremendous as replacement officials moved from sports programs to news programs with the public outraged the NFL did not have the regular officials in place.
"Working these games was something I'd wanted to do forever," Sadorus told Borden, "and there were some incredible moments. But there were also parts of this that I don't think anyone could have expected.
"We weren't there to take anyone's job; we were there to provide a service," Sadorus said. "The games were going to get done by someone. It's the old saying: without officials, it's just recess.
"We worked very, very hard. As demonized as we were, I hope people remember that we are people, too."

It was a controlled substance and there was no conviction, just a dismissal.
If you have no other criminal convictions, it can likely be expunged.
Although this is something you can do on your own, many people find the process confusing and make a mistake that leads to a denial.
Contact a criminal attorney that handles expungements and get a quote. If you can afford it, it is money well spent to be represented.
You will need to be fingerprinted to get a rap sheet.
If you are considering hiring an attorney, I invite you to contact my office to discuss it further.
Use the link above to fill out the worksheet to see if you qualify for an expungement. With no convictions of any kind and nothing pending now you would qualify to get the arrest expunged.
Have you been convicted of anything else?
If you have no other criminal convictions, you are eligible to file a petition to expunge the arrest and court case. Depending upon which county it is in, you can often obtain the necessary forms online. However, many people chosse to hire an attorney to handle the papwerrok and court appearances and any objections that may be filed by the police or the state. Eligibility does not guarantee the Petiton will be granted so often it is best to hire the lawyer. Most of us who do expungements will provide a free consultation and handle the matter for a reasonable fee. www.galivanlaw.net

'Batman v Superman:' Lex Luthor's Mansion at Michigan State University?
Better hide the kryptonite...
Better hide the kryptonite...
By Brandon Howell | The Game 730 AM
All-Big Ten Conference shooting guard Gary Harris is foregoing his junior season at Michigan State University to enter the upcoming NBA Draft.
The 19-year-old Fishers, Ind., native made the move official Monday afternoon, when MSU issued a news release announcing his decision.
Many believed Harris would have been selected early in last year's NBA Draft, but he elected to return for his sophomore season in East Lansing.
Lacey Holsworth, the 8-year-old girl who battled cancer and became friends with Michigan State University basketball star Adreian Payne, has died, according to posts on Lacey's social media accounts.
A Grand Rapids man has been formally charged in the Feb. 1 off-campus death of a Michigan State University student from Middleville.
We've all seen the videos of houses that set up their Christmas lights to play to music, and it always looks incredibly cool.
Well, this one is even cooler than that! This family set their lights up to go along to the Michigan State University fight song!

| The History of Skagen Designs
In 1987, Henrik and Charlotte Jorst came to the United States from their native Denmark to follow a dream: that of owning and running their own business. Skagen Designs was founded by these two natives of Copenhagen on the principle that beautifully designed, high-quality objects can be created at reasonable prices. The Skagen Collection of watches reflects the Jorsts' creative Danish spirit with clean, elegant designs, skillful craftsmanship and technical perfection. When you purchase a piece from the Skagen Collection, you become part of an international community of Skagen owners who believe in a philosophy of design and manufacturing excellence.
Skagen Trend Spotting
In the market place, time never stands still and so our innovation never sits idle. Our design team is on the pulse of current fashions, with regular visits to design centers of the world including Denmark, Switzerland,Italy, France, New York and Hong Kong. We are never content to follow established trends. We stay true to our classic design philosophy and interpret trends accordingly. We observe, listen and innovate - all to create lasting design pieces.
The Result
The production of such lasting design pieces often demands special processes and tooling. These are often a challenge to create; however, we are never satisfied with "close enough". We continually push and fine-tune designs to stay true to our standards. We know what we want and are not satisfied until the design, material and workmanship are all just right. The result of such hard work and dedication speak for themselves in the jaw dropping enthusiasm and excitement created whenever anyone views our product line.
Maintaining Your Skagen Watch
All Skagen watches operate with standard batteries. When necessary, any jeweler can replace them for you. Different models are water resistant to varying degrees. Please refer to the back of your watch for the water resistant rating.
Cleaning Your Skagen Watch
Skagen suggests the following solutions for cleaning metal and crystal surfaces:
These suggested solutions will evaporate cleanly from metal and glass surfaces. Soap will leave residue behind when dry.
To clean the case and crystal:
Moisten a soft cloth with one of the above solutions. Gently wipe the case and crystal clean. Be careful not to put too much stress on the crystal as you clean. *NEVER immerse or soak the case/crystal portion of the watch, regardless of water resistance rating. Moisture could seep past the seals over time.
To clean the band or strap:
Skagen soft mesh bands are easily adjustable. Simply insert a small screwdriver or similar tool into the clasp. Lift up the clasp without applying pressure to the thin pin across the clasp and move to desired position. Snap closed securely. Make sure the clasp is set in one of the indentations on the back of the band. Link bands are completely adjustable anywhere watches are serviced.
This sophisticated look has a timeless casebody with clean lines and a faceted glass topring that mimics the reflection of sunlight off the sea.See all Product Description
About Skagen
Rooted in the place where style meets simplicity, Skagen is a lifestyle brand inspired by the contemporary Danish design movement. Quality and a sense of purpose are the hallmarks of modern Danish design and these characteristics define what we do, too. Our streamlined styles are infused with warmth and character—making them unmistakably inviting. Unquestionably Skagen.

Leonora Collection
The Danish name Leonora means "light," and we designed the faceted top ring of our Leonora Women's Ceramic Leather Watch to shimmer like the Skagen seas in the sunlight.

Dialog box using Netbeans

Hi All,
I am developing a
application and I am using netbeans for the GUI. I have a main window for which I used a JFrame class and I have a menu in that. When the user clicks that menu item, I want a modal dialog to open. I want to have a number of buttons on that dialog to get a "logic formula" as input from the user. Its difficult to manually write code for this dialog box. So I wanted to do this using Netbeans. But I dont know how to create a class for a dialog box in Netbeans. I am able to create another JFrame class. But using this a dialog seems to be problematic since closing that frame closes the whole application.
When I try to add something new to my project, i am given only the following options - Java class, JFrame form, JPanel form, Java Package, Java interface and web service client.
Can somebody explain the process of adding a JDialog as a stand alone class so that I add buttons to that dialog using the netbeans front end and then I can create an object of this class when the user clicks on the particular menu item.
Thanks a lot in advance.
- Easwar

Hi Easwar,
First of all, get the latest stable release of Netbeans, i.e., version 5.5. If you are already having this version then follow the steps below:
1. Create a new project in netbeans.
2. Go to menu File > New File ( or alternately press Ctrl - N )
3. In the dialog box that appears, notice that in the left hand side you have a list of categories, select Java GUI Forms in the category list.
4. Notice that the right hand list now changes to show you the available form types. You must have a type called JDialog form available in the right hand side list. Select this and press next!
5. Fill in the details in the next page and Voila! The GUI editor of Netbeans called Matisse now opens up for you with the JDialog that you want to create.

The next step in terminating the downtown Business Improvement District takes place next week.
A few weeks after the downtown property owners filed a petition to disband the BID, a public hearing will take place before the Planning Commission.
The hearing is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday inside the City Hall Council Chambers, 201 Delafield St.
City Administrator Ed Henschel told the Common Council last week at its meeting there will be a 30-day period after the public hearing. During this time, any names could be added or taken off the petition.
If more than 50 percent of the property owners are still on the petition (more than 60 percent were on the original petition given to Mayor Jeff Scrima), the BID, a taxing district in downtown, will be eliminated on April 5.
The BID has been in place since 1986 and with an executive director, it was used to recruit and retain businesses, beautify the area, help market and advertise the district, organize events and be a point of contact for downtown.
But the BID has seen controversy over the last year highlighted by its former executivedirector, Meghan Sprager, resigning due to a "hostile work environment."
It was a messy divorce that saw her release a scathing nine-page document citing her grievances over her 16-month tenure that involved other board members. Board members denied any wrongdoing and despite attempting to move forward, the board crumbled as 11 of its 13 members resigned.
While the BID was inactive, the Common Council and the mayor struggled to find replacements last fall but ultimately settled on a new eight-person board.
After Henschel drew up new bylaws and an operating plan that resulted in the BID becoming more of a granting agency where other organizations would use a majority of the tax to put on events, the downtown property owners stepped in and requested that the BID be terminated.
Property owners said they felt the new plan was not a good use of the BID funds.
And despite the Common Council approving the bylaws and operating plan at a recent meeting, the BID Board, during this termination process, is not allowed to take any action for future commitments on the downtown.
As a result, the Farmers Market, a previous BID event that takes place along the Riverfront Plaza, will be put on by the leaders of the Waukesha Downtown Business Association, privately and at their own expense, Scrima said. This organization put on the popular event the final two months of last season.
While the city will pick up a few of the other BID duties, one being street sweeping, other facets of the BID will be lost.
At a Glance
What: Public hearing on BID termination
When: 6:30 p.m. Wednesday
Where: City Hall Council Chambers
Fact: If 50 percent of downtown property owners are still on petition 30 days after public hearing, the BID will be terminated

Now that you have written text for a narrator, or have a he-said she-said dialog underway; you could start to get a feel for how your script might be working. It's just a shame that the actors couldn't come and deliver the lines themselves. Oh well maybe next time, or maybe you can apply a Final Cut Pro audio effect to change the pitch of your own recording and make it seem more like a true he-said she-said dialog, or a narrator speaking. In the Project Library let's open the He Said-She Said project.
This is the familiar project that you have been creating with the text on either side. The text is already recorded, so let's listen. (Audio Playing) Where's the money? Don't worry. It's safe. Now wait just a minute. No you wait. I'm running this show. So that's the script that we are going to be working with. And in this particular script there are two male sounding voices, or that's the idea anyway, the intent; this first one and the third one.
And then the female speaks in the second and the fourth. In order to apply these it would be great to just simply use a Blade tool to split these clips so that we have four distinct clips that we can work with. I am going to go ahead and get the default Selection tool back. So what we want to do is look at the audio effects in Final Cut Pro and see if there's something that could help us change the sound of this recording to make it more believable, instead of obviously hearing my voice in both characters.
So if you click the Effects Media browser, and scroll down to audio, you have some different options and categories. Click on the Voice category, and now let's scroll to the top where we see the Final Cut effects. Now the way we preview audio effects in Final Cut Pro is to select the clip in the timeline, and then move our pointer over the particular effect we want to hear, and then press the spacebar. (Audio Playing) Alien Voice: Where's the money? Alien Voice: Where's the money? Diana Weynand: And then press the spacebar to stop.
Let's listen to the cartoon characters. (Audio Playing) Cartoon Voice: Where's the money? Cartoon Voice: Where's the money? Diana Weynand: So as you can see, you could have quite a bit of fun playing with this, how about the Helium. (Audio Playing) High Pitch Voice: Where's the money? Okay, so you get the idea. There are a lot of things you can do, but the one that actually will change the pitch is the Pitch effect, and to apply it to that clip we can drag it or simply double-click it. Now, with the clip selected we can go into the Inspector and look at the Audio tab, and here we see that that effect in fact has been applied.
Well, let's go ahead and listen one more time to this clip and you probably won't hear anything different because notice that the amount of pitch change is still at zero. (Audio Playing) Where's the money? If we drag that amount down a little bit, let's see what it will sound like, how that will affect it. (Audio Playing) Lower Pitch Voice: Where's the money? Well, it's continuing to lower the voice, let's go down even a little further, a little closer to -80. (Audio Playing) Lower Pitch Voice: Where's the money? Now we are starting to sound like this could be a believable male's voice.
(Audio Playing) Male Voice: Where's the money? Diana Weynand: Okay. Now if you like that, if that's an effect or a range or pitch that you like, you can copy this clip, and then we can go down to the third clip, which is the other male voice. (Audio Playing) Now wait just a minute. And we can select it, and go to the Edit menu, and choose Paste Effects, and the shortcut for that is Option+Command+V. What that has done is pasted the Pitch effect that we applied to the first clip, to this third clip. (Audio Playing) Male Voice: Now wait just a minute.
Diana Weynand: Now we do the same thing for the woman's voice. (Audio Playing) Don't worry. It's safe. So select it in the timeline, and then double-click Pitch in the Effects browser. This time we want to raise the pitch. (Audio Playing) High Pitch Voice: Don't worry. It's safe. Diana Weynand: Raising it to high or too low may sound unrealistic, so you have to play with it a little bit to find the best adjustment. (Audio Playing) High Pitch Voice: Don't worry. It's safe. Diana Weynand: That might seem still a little bit on the chipmunk side. (Audio Playing) High Pitch Voice: Don't worry. It's safe.
Diana Weynand: But you get the idea, we'll drag it down just a little bit more so we just bump it up a little bit. (Audio Playing) Female Voice: Don't worry. It's safe. Diana Weynand: And just as we did before, we can copy that clip and paste just the effects portion of it to the last clip in order to share it with the other female voice. Now when we listen to this we have at least a variation on the text which might help make it a little bit believable. Let's take a look. (Audio Playing) Male Voice: Where's the money? Female Voice: Don't worry. It's safe.
Male Voice: Now wait just a minute. Female Voice: No you wait. I'm running this show. Diana Weynand: And you can always trim and adjust and pull things a little tighter to make it a little bit easier to follow so that it doesn't stall in between. It might not add anything to your audio storyboard to change the voice or pitch of the narration, or the character's line, but on the other hand it might be a great way to sell the text or the script.
