3G S application that Apple forgot to mention: dog whistle
Update: The plot thickens: the phone also emits the noise just after recording video, and for a much longer period of time. An Apple discussion thread about the noise is here. Are dogs unusually attentive to, or angry at, your new iPhone 3G S? The folks over at Boy Genius Report have an inkling as ...
High pitched squeal defect on some MacBook Pros
While I certainly can't vouch for this problem myself as I don't own a MacBook Pro, there seem to be quite a few owners of the new laptop with complaints over a high pitched noise emanating from their machines. Our own Dan Pourhadi had a whine on his new MacBook Pro, even though it may not be the ...

Google now a serious rival to Microsoft in cloud email
Oy, Google is way eviler than Apple. Why they control the flow of information! Apple only controls the flow of money - the precious - "look, shiny!" demographic, previously devoid of life goals and who can now adhere to the mac lifestyle.
Think of it this way. You can ignore an Apple product, but what other search provider are you going to turn to? Bing? Please. Same with facebook. If you don't like it don't use it. I don't. Haven't been invited to a party in about 3 years, but I still have my dignity!...
Oh, and don't tell me you still think Microsoft is evil. I'm always amazed how much cool stuff they churn out on those PDCs and BUILDs and what have you. Really cool, like lambda-unwinding-awaits and... okay, this Build was a mild let down... but that doesn't make them evil. Also it's kind of nice that everyone just uses Office and people believe they are hot stuff just because they had a crack at VBA. Hurray for conformity!
In fact the real evil - horns and pitchfork - company on that list is Oracle. Oy, they lock in just about every other company on the planet, and their databases don't even have IDENTITY properties. What's up with that? Horrible service, insane prices. Suing everyone.
Microsoft bans all plugins from touchable IE10

Silverlight will be abandoned to third-class citizenship dispite the whole - "Don't worry" approach microsoft is taking. This is only too apparent from how it's been treated in the Build.
Microsoft previews new Visual Studio, .NET
It seems that Async CTP made it to .NET 4.5. I wonder if they'll step C# to 5.0 while the remaining 0.5 of the .NET catches up. And before you scream that numbers aren't important - consider this - Most of .NET is currently at 4.0. That's everything from framework, language versions, to blends, wpfs, silverlights, et al. That's just so neat.
Apple's iCloud runs on Microsoft and Amazon services
Oy, Wait a minute
I seem to recall when this whole iCloud iThing iStarted there was an apple data-center abrewing also. Now, either that data-center is no where up to capacity, granted, or it got sacked or what. Where's my thorough reporting?

Well, technically yes. See, you bought the "tat" for almost a million pounds, which kinda implies you already have it.

Sneaky tracking code (finally) purged from Microsoft sites
Re: Disrupting ETags
ETag is just a number in the HTTP Request/Response spiel. Server sets it so that we echo the same number back when we try to download same content, presumably so that if we download a high-resolution picture of a woman with a giant hat, next time we visit the same woman we could ask the server if the content has changed. I say my ETag, server says 304 - Same giant hat. Then I know I can just trust my cache, else I download the new image. Think of this as a receipt for the resource you already downloaded.
But this number may as well be a dud. This dud ETag has nothing to do with the resource in question (typically it's a hash of the resource or a timestamp), and is just a way for the server to ID me. So when I bring this receipt back to the server, it knows that I've visited before. Somewhere this number has been stored, along with whatever cookies they want to give me. The number in the ETag is receipt for the cookies I checked out previously!
Now the server checks my cookies, and finds that I have deleted them. If so, they just reassign the cookies that I have deleted that were associated with this ETag.
We could just ignore/strip Response ETags to get rid of this bug/feature. Since it's part of HTML 1.1 standard, it's unlikely to be removed from compliant browsers, no matter how fast your internets have become.
The question is...
Do ETag caching and Flash cookies bypass porn-mode protection on chrome/IE/whathaveyou? I wouldn't be surprised if they did, and someone somewhere is sniggering at my giant hat fetish.
Meanwhile, note that ETag caching as tracking is not going to go away any time soon. What these researches do is the following:
Send HTTP Request without ETag. Get HTTP Response with an ETag and some cookies. Delete cookies. Send HTTP Request with ETag. Get HTTP Response with cookies, which are same as before (Coincidentally this is what they are calling "cookie respawn", which somehow suggests that they are brought back to life, while in fact they are just being reset by server to same values). <= Proof of tracking.
Meanwhile, the next-gen ETagger (NGE) could be a little more sneaky. Let's suppose that the cookie contains a unique identifier, which is typically just a large number. By using miracles of mathematics NGE could mangle this identifier each time it's not being verified by a cookie.
Send HTTP Request without anything. Get HTTP Response with ETag, cookies, etc. Delete cookies. Send new HTTP Request with ETag. The server receives a cookieless request which still has an ETag. The server then sends out a new cookie with the uid that can be randomly transformed back into the original uid. The researches now receives a HTTP Response with a new cookie. He or she is now convinced she's not being tracked.
The transformation function need not be very complicated to be sufficiently advanced to bypass visual inspection. Of the top of my head [f(int uid, int seed) -> string] could be [seed + delimeter + md5(uid) xor seed]. At inspection it seems trivial to recover the uid, but you'd have to know the function definition to do so. Oh and of course you can construct much more advanced schemes, that are very hard to break even if you know what you are looking for.
So, welcome to trackable internets!

Angry S Koreans mass-sue Apple over iPhone tracking

IE, Windows server bugs likely to be exploited soon
Bring on your Microsoft battle rams!
I for one, welcome the supreme security of my windows server r2 workstations. Okay, I admit it's kind of unnerving that DNS resolutions could lead to remote code execution. Then again, whenever I write c++ code, it works right about half the time, one more rewrite/review gives you 75%, one more gives you 87.5, and so on. By the time you do 10 rewrites you got it up to 99.9% correct. Which is good enough for most people.
As of late I've been admiring some of Microsofts more successful recent ventures. Granted COM, DOS and most of the windii (plural of windows!) have been a little shaky, but some of the stuff that comes out of their thinktanks is pretty amazing. As a developer, there's no better source of tools and reference material than MSDN, and who-am-i-to-judge-the-cloud, but Azure delivers exactly what I expect of application oriented future.
I guess what i'm saying is that goo' ol' let's bash Microsoft head in, because they force sysadmins to support Office, Windows and Ignorant Users is a bit too simplistic.

iPhone plunges 13,500 ft from skydiver's pocket - and lives
This is only so true
The one time I decide to wear a posh jacket and jump a few fences - well, that's when my iPhone 4, too decides it knows a shorter route down. That day I managed to crack the back on three separate occasions. I was about to mail his Holiness, about how it's his personal fault that iphones and top pockets don't work well together. But I decided to chug that up to good old user-error.
Microsoft loses Supreme patent fight over Word
How predictible
I came to the comments section to see people debate if i4i had a real case or not, but it's same-old Microsoft bashing without context. Additionally I object to Microsoft being seen as an irreducible entity - some of the world's smartest people work there, so I think they might have enough in-house innovation to go around. That said, maybe they did steal this genius i4i invention, as is certainly apparent from the tone of this discussion, but it's argued as "obvious", and to me it isn't.

I'm very disappointed with the reg for publishing non-stories like these. I would use much harsher language, but since about 1 in 10 posts actually get through... Let me just say that some insects shouldn't be allowed in a serious news organization, or a humorous news organization or a news organization or any organization for that matter, because these insects suck the fun of out of it and leave a shallow feeling of fun-less emptiness...
Yahoo! economist rebuilds ad empire with 'Magic Formula'
Irreducible Complexity
I can just imagine the dramatic monologue that created this contraption:

Let's invent a magic formula which greedily prioritizes clients we value most, and hope that everyone else doesn't notice. Also let's publish a meaningless formula everywhere and define absolutely nothing about it. *happyface*"

Debian fixes serious crypto bug
Crying wolf
The media wants sensations. This is one of those times. Consider a headline "A cryptographic service has a flaw!". It implies that the flaw is serious enough to consider newsworthy, but never mentions the exploitability of the said flaw; which in this case is practically non-existant.
Next Ubuntu LTS in 2010, unless Linuxes synchronize
@Nexox Enigma
While I'm not sure about the method, it seems like the bigguest problem linux has is that there's a constant reinvention of the bicycle. Most distros rewrite the glue that holds the applications together for no apparent reason, instead of collaborating on one front. I think that it's a good idea to synchronize in a greedy sense - if it works, it would yield a lot of end-user benefit, because the dev time can be spent on improvement instead. However, ultimately I must agree - linux is the kind of hacker os, where personal preference is the only thing that matters. Limiting that could even scare seome devs off.

YouTube divorce rant vid wows the crowd
Not as bad as it looks.
While many people would react violently to the ineffable moral grey; you don't really seem to consider the individual. The flamboyance is appealing to some, even though personally I would rather marry a bucket.
Besides, it's not like the evil mr Smith isn't trying to divorse her now. Maybe her marbles once were all in the right place - far away from mysticue of cards and youtube.
I would bet an afformentioned pot of gold, that she's not only tipsy in this video, but have been self-medicating for a while. It's almost painful to watch her struggle to remain her former self by attempting to insult her husband's sexually private endevours.
But pray tell, is youtube the only it angle? Because then you should see that one cute kitten...
World Bank chief: Ethanol cars run on human misery
Mute point
The actual complaint, as far as I can understand is the following - "Don't do biodiesel, developed nations, because then you can't give away food you weren't going to use."
Since when is charitable government self-evident truth? I don't think that saving the environment (ethanol might not be actual saving, heck, it might pollute more, but for the purpose of the argument I'm assuming it's eco-friendlier than burning crude) for everyone is a worse goal than helping nations that by no means can help themselves.
If the charitable ability of the developed nations deminishes for any reason, why is it assumed that these nations are doing something wrong? In fact, the food surplus of EU is a beurocratic joke, and one that will find solution in the ever increasing openenness of the market.
So if we stop overproducing, or use the overproduced crops for something else; then we are all biggots who don't want to help our fellow man in dire need. I guess there is no pleasing some people, then.
Yahoo! to post Google ads on Yahoo!
Real mature, Yahoo.
I've seen more maturity in a kindergarden... I think this might actually turn out good for microsoft, since now they can scream monopoly bloody murder. And it'll hurt Google more than it hurt them in the past, because I never remember microsoft issuing "we are holy, now you know" proclamations.
Wikipedia scores $3m donation
3 million
3 million over 3 years isn't 3 million at all, it's a bit less. But I guess it's good news. I'm a little miffed why wikipedia is in a financial rot, since so many people are constantly donating...
At any rate, I'd love my taxes to go for paying wikipedias bandwidth service and not some second grade kids education, which they can get from wiki for free anyway.
I'm not not serious, I'm just drunk.
Arthur C. Clarke dead at 90
Recently it was published somewhere on el Reg, that Terry Pratchett was diagnosed with Alzheimher's. I read most of the comments on that post, and I distinctively remember one first saying that maybe Arthur C Clarke is next, and then swearing profusely trying to remove the jinx - Something along the lines of whom am I kidding, he'll live forever.
I bet the author of that comment feels a bit silly now. And on the other hand, let's mourne a great innovator, writer and well-to-do chap.
Top security firm: Phorm is adware

Dear ISP, I am not a target market
This article was rubbish.
It's like arguing that sky is blue. Yes, you are right, but spawning a lyrical child the size of this article isn't a good idea. It clutters the basic idea, that internet is free as in freedom and that ad-highjack wouldn't work with it.
I double dare the ISPs to actually go at it. What would happen? I'll tell you what -
First there would be so many lawsuits that they'd have to hire a mid-size law firm to deal with it all. Then site owners would smart up - why waste bandwidth on people who aren't even able to click the adds? And there would be a lists of ISP IPs and sites wouldn't service them.
So go ahead. God willing this would create more competition among ISPs.
Steve Jobs unveils plans to dominate RIM BlackBerry, Life, the Universe, and Everything
My Ipod Touch.
I bought it to play music. Now I want it to do other things for me. I've had a lot of devices over the years, and now it seems I've found one that I really like. Not going to care what anyone says, or make any silly predictions. But Apple is well on their way to at least outselling RIM in the near future, and if they want to broaden their market a bit - why so much negativity?
People here are saying that no way no how no company would ever move their whatever to iphone. But what if people want it? What if this company is one of those hip companies? Like biotech or parish hilton mags or something. They live for swag and phat loot. I can surely see them adopting at least some of it.
And why is everyone so polarized anyway? Love or hate? Is it so simple? I like the browser, I hate how I can't get big keyboard in email mode. Maybe with SDK it'll open up a bit. Although I'm *NOT* loving how it seems to be very very mac-only at the moment.
Oh, and another thing. When I bought my iPOD Touch I couldn't start it up without iTunes. That's Windows or MAC only,so I actually had to install windows for it. Now, mind you, there are some hacks out there to get music to and fro the device, remotely even - no cables or anything, but there are no tools to initialize it.
Mobo maker builds 'powerless' processor cooling fan

Apple unearths Time Capsule
Never owned a mac, but...
The theorem that any backup is better than no-backup is only true, if you don't scale it. However, for the people with the photos and emails and idunnowhats that this gadget targets, this gives a different magnitude of the order of datasecurity, and would serve them well. I wish I had one of those, except maybe I'd think it's wasting space and use it for primary storage anyway.
My backup file is 11mb, and I keep it on the internets.
Most spam comes from just six botnets
I actually have an idea...
If I understand it correctly, then the botnet is operated by a master server somewhere. The master server is invisible, and there might be levels of master...y, I guess. But what must be common for all infected machines, is that they must have an open socket, on a presumably random port. And since there are only 6 or so important botnets, it's theoretically possible to blacklist the IPs by trying to connect to the machines 65k sockets and if you get an answer test if it's a botnet socket. ISPs should do this, but anyone can really.
So. You get an email. You see if the host you got the email from is infected. If it's not, proceed as usual.
Plotholes : 65k pings could be expensive but this might be a destributable cost. The botnets might shut off sockets periodically, but I find it unlikely, as it would limit their response times. There *could* be a scanning authority, basically green/red listing as a service, but who'd do it?
Can *this* be done smarter?
Nvidia to purchase Ageia

Pirate Bay slapped with copyright charges
Yeah, but yarr or no yarr
For what it's worth the solution is on everyone's tongue - subscription services. And hopefully, we'll be able to get something like that sooner rather than later.
People all over the word engage in a form of social disobedience - we refuse to acknowledge the laws that weren't made by us and serve only to restrict our freedom and rights. The copyright issue is one of the bigger issues of the modern age. Patenting resources that aren't innumerable, such as DNA strings in soy seeds and the ways you can make a taco sign spin, will conceivably pose a lot of problems in the years to come. Whilst right now there still exists a vast domain of property the big corporations haven't had time to patent, in the future we might not be so lucky.
In conclusion, our motivation to get free Housewives episodes is rooted in greed, but we are willing to pay for the content at a reasonable price. The content duplication costs next to nothing, and so we feel our demands are justified. Hopefully we'll win, and our victory will be precedent for a general debate on the copyright issues.
Software pirates put sizeable dent in UK economy
The Wise Rabbit Says
What's wrong with you people saying the same lines over and over? Some original thought please. Here's my take:
Someone has already mentioned licenses being somewhat of a gray area when considering code execution methods (multi processor/core/thread) - But what if you pirate something, but you are unintentionally covered anyway? For example most PCs made by an OEM come with a windows license, and many students are covered by tricks such as MSDNAA.
On the other hand, I do agree with the "free advertising", but find it in very bad taste that most software makers don't offer a free development/non-profit/student license. As someone has mentioned, wouldn't Autocad, Matlab, Mathematica and friends win a lot of hearts and minds by offering people a free chance to use their products? I guess the argument people make that it's not a valid business model.
In the end, I'm against piracy - because it feels like saying "I like your product, but not you personally". And you can do slightly more than everything using OSS anyway.
PS. I would promise to do something really embarrasing on national television if BSA presented any kind of proof...

RIAA hits paydirt: wins first music-sharing jury trial
@Andrew Orlowski
First of all I think it's very cowardly of you to disable comments on those "pirates be damned" articles/blog updates/ramblings of a fool. But in a sense, you are admitting that you know that your opinion is unpopular; and since this is a question of policy and politics; you are, therefore, wrong.
On a lighter note I'm happy to live in Europe, whose laws are there to protect the common denominator between people - our basic rights and freedoms, istead of bending over to the corporate greed. So screw america, and their RIAA. Long live piratebay. =)

LEE COUNTY, Fla.,- Stepping up in a time of need to help feed Southwest Florida families. That was the mission of a two-day food drive to benefit the Harry Chapin Food Bank.
We first brought you the story Wednesday night, showing you the impact the food bank could face it the government shut down continues, so WINK News wanted to help make sure there was food in case the food supply stops.
The call for help came in, and a community came out in drones all to help support neighbors who struggle to put food on the table..
"We watched the cars coming up, dropping off the food, all to help neighbors, it's something that really makes you feel like part of a community," said President and CEO of Harry Chapin, Al Brislain.
WINK News Feeds Families, along with 92.5 Fox News Radio partnered up to help bring in your donations. We watched as box after box was filled to the brim.
"This community is so generous and when somebody like WINK gives them the opportunity to be generous, all they need is that opportunity and they will come out," said Brislain.
Marykay Hartung is part of the fight to help end hunger.
"I feel good, but frankly I haven't done enough, I just think I could have given a lot of cash more food, but it motivates me to more next time."
One couple made it a priority to go shopping just for the cause.
"I wanted to do something for a long time, so I'm just going to do it, go to Sam's today to buy some stuff," said Louise Basick.
The food drive is shedding some light to a dark, unknown time for Harry Chapin.
"What bothers us is how the clients, how uncertain it is for the clients and a lot of the non-profit organizations we serve."
The food bank relies on getting 10 % of it's food from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and if the shut down continues, that food could come to an abrupt halt.
"These are the people, the ones that use the food bank, are the ones that can afford least to suffer from a government that's inactive, it's really annoying frankly to think about the government shut down," said Hartung.
WINK News Feeds Families and 92.5 Fox News Radio raised an estimated 3,200 pounds of food for the Harry Chapin Food Bank and $1595.00 in cash donations.
Tonight, we want to thank our viewers for supporting our cause.

After reading the reviews for this cotton on Makeup Alley, I decided to ask the SA at Shiseido for some samples - I just HAD to see what the hype was about...
And boy did these cotton pads not only met my expectations - they exceeded them! I did not know facial cotton could be this soft. I've been using the regular cotton balls from my local Target and didn't really mind them but now that I've used Shiseido's facial cottons, the regular ones feel like sandpaper on my skin! ok not so much sandpaper...but you get the point.
They feel like clouds on my skin...and allows me to use less of the product since they are thinner and don't completely soak it up. I'm sure these will last me a while - I agree that it is better to cut it in half b/c you really don't need the whole one.
Amazing! The cotton pad is soft and doesn't leave out any cotton on my face. I was always afraid to use cotton pad when I saw it in CVS because I looked like low quality. However, when I was using the sample facial cotton of Shiseido, I found that it was just perfect and I couldn't figure out any flaw. I have bought two packs and will definitely keep on buying it!
More reviews by mugglemichelle
I need new pads for my toner and make up remover and I was planning on buying generic cotton pads that would have cost about 4-5 dollars canadian depending on how many packs you buy for the same number of shiseido pads which were $8 can so I decided to try these. I'm so glad I did - I had no idea how rough the other pads had been all these years when I used the shiseido pads for the first time. I have sensitive skin and didn't realise that the old cotton pads were actually hurting my face being all scratchy until i tried these. they are so soft and gently and pick up everything without balling up on my face. And they are big enough to cut in half so If you do the math they come out cheeper than the generic cotton pads if you cut them in half. I will continue to repurchase these - they are a great little luxury. But I don't think I'll use them to remove nail polish - too nice- but maybe i will try it once - might be a nice change from the mess that the generic ones become with all that rubbing.
More reviews by blink182girl03
I love these cotton pads!! They are extremely soft. It is pretty pricey, $9.50 for a pack and I think it was well worth the money. I will definetly buy this product again.
I bought these based on MUA reviews. Everyone is right- they are a small luxury that is very worth the money. The facial pads are lovely- great texture, soft, and don't pill up and disintegrate, leaving all kinds of balled up fluff behind on my face. I will definitely repurchase. I paid $8.00 CAD for a rather large 80 gram bag of cotton pads.
These are amaaazing. Quite a lot of money for just something you're going to dispose of but I'd still splurge on them. They do not shed/tear like the regular cotton pads and leave behind stuff on your face. I do find that I can use less toner than usual on them to do the job (why? i'm not totally sure of lol) and I notice that these pick up stuff off my face when I wipe with my toner. I think they're too precious to use to take off my makeup lol. They're awesome =)
I thought all cotton was the same until a counter rep introduced me to Shiseido's cotton. She also taught me a trick to make them go further...cut them in half! You only need a small piece of cotton to get the job done. It holds toner and make up remover like you wouldn't believe. And it is so incredibly soft. No tugging or pain like some cottons with the crimped edges. Ouch! And the cotton doesn't fall apart on you or leave behind those annoying little fibers. Can't go wrong.
I'm the first one to write a review on this? No way!
I first bought this facial cotton way back when I had to find something cheap (compared to other products at the counter) to get GWP. Until then I used cheap cottons that I could get in bulk from Costco. Obviously I was blown away. This was the softest but at the same time very resilient cotton. Usually I had to use about 6-7 cotton pads to get all of my mascara and eyeliner off but with this one I just had to use two! (sort of justifies the price). I would use this every day but it's too expensive.... The packaging could use some improvements also. I wish they'd come in a box or something. For the price I think they should think of a better way to store this.
an $8 CDN package has hundreds of square cotton pads that are just as effective pulled into two layers. this way a package lasts me many, many months of toning and eye makeup removing, so i consider the cost very low . it breaks down to about $1.50/less a month. dirt cheap!
these are extremely gentle, and i wouldnt think of using anything else ever again. this seems like the most respectful thing to use for your beautiful face!! especially considering the money we shell out on creams, toners, serums, etc. honestly i flinch now at the idea of using a drugstore/dollar store cotton pad. once you try these you will too
i also agree with all the points made by "Forher2me" review below. all well said!!

The most softest cotton pads i have ever used!!! This is a must have for applying any Shiseido softener. Worth the prices. I cut the pads into halves. saves alot of money and product.

Not Smoothies!
These are not smoothies at all. They are mostly juice from concentrate. Just because they have a tiny percentage of crushed banana in the juice doesnt make them smoothies. They taste watery and thin, like low quality juice, and should not be advertised as smoothies.

Not as premium as they look
These taste lovely but I think it's a shame that they are made from concentrates and not freshly squeezed. The packaging - and price, for that matter! - suggests they are a premium brand but that should mean the juices are not from concentrate (which means they don't have half the nutritional content that fresh juice does).

thumbs up!
My son loves the orange and mango smoothies from Happy Monkey! He prefers the flavor of these to that of the other brands available & likes the monkey logo too! I prefer this brand, as I find it to be a reasonably priced product with no added sugar or preservative's. I only buy the Mango and Orange smoothie as it provide's lot's more vitamine's! So finally juice for school lunches that we both like!!

All in all the list of songs tells the tale. If you like what you see, Singstar Abba is worth your money. If not, consider the other Singstar options.
I would highly recommend that anyone that enjoys singing try out the series and if you love ABBA then this latest addition to the series is worth a look.
ABBA fans will say "I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do" to this SingStar release.
ABBA does not seem like an artist that the gamer audience can really identify with, and that is this title's biggest weakness. However, if you can't wait to belt out "Dancing Queen," "Fernando," and "Take a Chance on Me," then SingStar ABBA will hit all the right notes.
We applaud the focus, but the flip side of that is a narrower market and decreased value to those of us who don't know which of the ladies is Anni-Frid Lyngstad and which is Agnetha Faltskog. Knock it down to $20 and we'll talk.
In short, the game delivers what I would have expected. It's an average title at best, appealing to the biggest ABBA fans.
I love SingStar but feel these artist-specific titles are missteps. There's not enough content for the price; the scope is super-limited; and even if you love ABBA, you'll need ABBA-obsessed friends to have a decent party with this title.

School of Engineering & Computing Sciences Graduate Info Session
The Center for Global Health, a New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) interdisciplinary center of excellence established in 2007, is a collaboration between NYIT's College of Osteopathic Medicine and School of Health Professions. The center's mission focuses on five core goals:
The discipline of "international" or "global" health has evolved over the past 150 years. We are at a point in the natural history of international medicine where trained individuals from many fields—medical, political, economic, educational, and environment—are cooperating to address challenges to world health. The future of world health requires cooperative partnership among nations, health care professionals, medical researchers, public health specialists, corporations, and individuals. Medical schools such as NYCOM are training doctors who specialize in international health, just as business schools are training executives who specialize in international business.
We at NYIT's Center for Global Health believe that the involvement of New York Institute of Technology and its College of Osteopathic Medicine—as a global institution and leader in global health, education, and knowledge—will create an opportunity for students and faculty to engage in global health practice, policy, and the development of solutions to the world's vital problems. This program is a collaboration of NYIT's College of Osteopathic Medicine and School of Health Professions.
The Center for Global Health provides broader access and opportunity for medical and health professions students by expanding international programs, branch campuses, and exchanges of students and faculty. Utilizing NYIT's digital prowess and participation in collaborative programs, the center aims to expand existing College of Osteopathic Medicine and NYIT programs and create new ones to further medical education with particular focus on disease prevention and treatment. The College of Osteopathic Medicine, with its emphasis on primary care medicine, is in an ideal position in health education and health promotion. Indeed, the College of Osteopathic Medicine has a "cultural treasure" to export in the form of osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM) combined with the best scientific medicine.
Training foreign students in western scientific and osteopathic medicine allows for integration of different philosophies and practices of health and healing. At the same time, we can offer students at our New York campuses a progressive curriculum in global experiential medicine that will further establish NYIT and the College of Osteopathic Medicine as leaders in the global medical community.

Operational levelAlong with the relationships with its non-governmental social partners and international NGOs in the various categories described, the ILO collaborates at the operational level with many other civil society organizations. Among these are local, national and regional organizations, such as professional associations, cooperatives, village development committees, water users' committees, rural or urban credit groups, NGOs concerned with local and national development or human rights, indigenous community organizations, and networks of homeworkers, especially women. All these organizations are involved in ILO technical cooperation activities. To the extent possible, the ILO seeks to ensure tripartite involvement, or the involvement of both social partners, in the implementation of its activities.
Statutory provisions
The following are the basic provisions applicable to the ILO's relations with NGOs.
ILO Constitution
Participation in the International Labour Conference
Requesting an invitation to an ILO meeting
To be represented at a session of the International Labour Conference or at other ILO meetings, non-governmental international organizations require an invitation, to obtain which they must satisfy the criteria and adhere to the following procedure.
The NGO requesting an invitation should —
(a) demonstrate the international nature of its composition and activities, and in this connection it should be represented or have affiliates in a considerable number of countries;
(b) have aims and objectives that are in harmony with the spirit, aims and principles of the Constitution of the ILO and the Declaration of Philadelphia;
(c) have formally expressed an interest - clearly defined and supported by its statutes and by explicit reference to its own activities - in at least one of the items on the agenda of the Conference session to which it requests to be invited: these details should be supplied with the request for an invitation;
(d) have made its request in accordance with the procedure set out in the Standing Orders of the Conference.
For more information, please refer to the Information Note for NGOs (pdf 23kB) - Français (pdf 33kB) - Español (pdf 66kB)
Requests by NGOs for invitations to ILO meetings other than the International Labour Conference are considered in the light of the relevant rules and Standing Orders governing those meetings. Requests must be approved by the ILO Governing Body.
NGOs wishing to be invited as observers at ILO meetings should therefore submit their requests to the Director-General not later than one month before the session of the Governing Body preceding the meeting for which a request is being made.
Admission to the ILO Special List of NGOsThe aims of organizations requesting admission to the ILO Special List should be in harmony with the spirit, aims and principles of the ILO Constitution and the Declaration of Philadelphia. The length of existence, membership, geographical coverage of the organization, its practical achievements and the international nature of its activities constitute the main criteria for such admission. A further requirement is that the organization should have an evident interest in at least one of the fields of activity of the ILO. The fact that an organization has already been granted official status with the Economic and Social Council, or a specialized agency of the United Nations, is relevant but does not necessarily imply inclusion in the Special List of the ILO.

Data Storage
Data Storage Challenges and Scaling
Whether that you are an personal entrepreneur working with the comfort of your property office, or but if your once business has turned into a corporation, you will definitely need details storage together with reliable back-up solutions ultimately. Data safe-keeping scaling varies with regards to the size and method of business – how to find the perfect solution generally is a challenge by itself.
Local storage area and back-up solutions are less costly than over the internet storage, but space is restricted. Once your organization has stuffed its' storage into a certain portion of it's' quantity, your program might commence to slow lower. In order to create your personal computers back around optimal pace, your company must save money on far more local storeroom.
The most recent local storage is usually scaled about accommodate further data must have, and it's normally works with previous versions produced by the identical manufacturer. The most important drawback so that you can local storage space and copied solutions will be that running these products up and also out could be very costly, and also the freshest, smallest area back-up solutions use up valuable natural space. Since businesses rise, some count on offsite details storage for all the more backup safety. While this is a wonderful way to shield data, it could become costlier after some time.
Online Back-Up Methods for businesses of the size are becoming a lot more popular. Businesses along with employees who ought to travel enjoy the fact password secure data is often accessed out of anywhere, provided that there is a wonderful internet relationship. In accessory, online storage may be scaled effortlessly – yet you need no allot more room with your facility. Ultimately, many of the finest online back-up plus data climbing solutions offer real-time redundancy, so any transaction is actually automatically copied.
Online information storage over a very little and important level is kind of inexpensive, but it isn't nearly hence secure when highly encrypted nearby data storeroom. While private data protected details is, theoretically, quite safeguarded, the in order to that it might be hacked very easily unless your organization pays for higher level security precautions. Highly safeguarded online details storage is definitely expensive, and becomes pricier as your online business grows greater.
Data Storage – The Importance
Anyone what individuals really must be reminded in the importance involving data hard drive has as well just recently been introduced to computer for once, or may be living in the alternate truthfulness, perhaps previously even, going back 10 several years. These days and nights, data is usually everything — money, info, the ton. Everything most of us ever conduct, or claim, or wish, or unique, is reducible within the final study to chunks and bytes streaming down dietary fiber optic cords, to algorithms nestling within the labyrinthine GOOD OLD RAM of servers that could hold details than every single book ever before written. We have had your Iron Their age; the Jewel Age; the actual Bronze Era; the Water Age: this is actually the Data Get older. That's the way important details are. The incredible importance of data safe-keeping is at least the fact that protecting our standard of living. Of ensuring the elements we do plus the things many of us build never suddenly give up happening.
Here's a good example. All money on the planet is currently represented by simply data inside computer techniques of bankers. Destroy that will data and there isn't any money departed. It includes all ended up zapped outside of existence. Economies (not that they are that awesome anyway, but this could be a great deal worse) cease to try and do what these are supposed for you to. Everything declines apart. The reason why? Because a number of ones and additionally zeroes inside a server anywhere you want got easily wiped off a new rapidly turning magnetic DVD.
We're in no way talking a lot about the value of files storage here as being the importance for safe facts storage. There's clearly a positive change – prefer keeping the diamonds within a bird bath inside front flowerbed, as against locking them inside of a safe at a locked room inside of a reinforced store under your household. The second item is clearly the optimal alternative: that's precisely what everyone aims for using their own files storage, though only a few that most people or also companies can achieve the idea. That's since data its own matters is pretty simple to find, if guess what happens you are actually doing — hackers, for instance, can mail their unpleasant little red wigglers running everywhere over the electronic ether plus before any person knows where these are their own data is stolen is being would always finance a few extremely expensive shenanigans on the other hand of the entire world. So – the significance of statistics storage, secure data hard drive, is noticeable. If a corporation loses statistics, it frequently loses its identity or perhaps it manages to lose its capacity to trade before the mess is sorted out there. Neither solution is fine. How, although, can a person store data within a safe manner?
Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and Data Storage
Data storage area takes numerous forms allowing it to be destroyed into main, secondary, easily removed, and devoted data storage area. Each section has it has the place. Being organization techniques toward a good virtual computer advice infrastructure, some different storage system may well be best suited than other people. Here's a peek at the kinds of storage techniques and its place, in cases where any, at a virtual desktop computer infrastructure.
Look into primary storage space as built-in, hands-off storage for the computer and also server. Just like, computers bring built-in MEMORY and RANGE OF MOTION. In common, this kind of data is actually handled by operating method and end-users aren't required to undertake anything special in addition to use his or her computers. Unclose Access Storage (RAM) supplier's data briefly; when pc is turned off, its MEMORY data is peeled off memory. Read just memory (ROM) is certainly permanent and may not be overwritten; RANGE OF MOTION stores information on bodily chips.
Removable storage space falls inside the secondary storage space category, but is actually notable for their portability. USB sub drives are the classic instance of extractible storage. These little devices happen to be inserted to USB places where some people become a strong drive. You are able to drag in addition to drop archives between different drives and also the USB drive plus save files on to the unit.
Once detached, the backup is mobile. You might plug the actual USB drive towards a different pc and entry the documents, write latest data, etc… Removable storage centers in several methods including UNIVERSAL SERIES BUS drives, random access memory cards, including connected devices along the lines of digital slurs, smartphones, and AUDIO players (which have their own individual storage systems).

The budget-cut changes, by the way, include forking over $30 on your credit card to get advice about a poisoned pet. The center fields a surprising number of these calls, including from owners of iguanas, guinea pigs, spiders and fish.
Deaths from unintentional drug overdoses are now the No. 1 cause of accidental deaths in Washington, according to the center's medical director, Dr. William Hurley.
For humans, here's the center's "top 10 human poisonings list for 2008":
-Benzodiazepine (tranquilizer)
-diaper-rash products (eaten, presumably)
-ethanol (meaning alcoholic beverages)
-children's acetaminophen/Tylenol
-antihistamines like Zyrtec and Claritin
-silica gel (those little white "do not eat" packets that keep dry foods dry)
-regular acetaminophen/Tylenol
-systemic antibiotics (often used for acne)

381 pounds of marijuana seized at Bridge of the Americas
El Paso, TX (KTSM) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operations Officers located 381 pounds of marijuana in the floor and bed of a truck at the Bridge of the Americas international crossing on Thursday.
CBP Officers made the seizure just after 10:00 a.m. Thursday morning at the Bridge of the Americas when a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado driven by 30-year-old Mauricio Rojo-Mares of Cuahtemoc, Chihuahua, Mexico entered the northbound port.
Border Patrol and CBP Officers initiated a discussion with Rojo-Mares and selected his vehicle for additional screening. CBP scanned the truck using a "Buster" density meter and determined that the truck had high readings consistent with contraband.
A CBP Officer then noticed a bump in the floor of the truck and pulled back the carpeting revealing a wrapped bundle of marijuana. Additional inspection revealed 195 marijuana-filled bundled hidden in the floor and bed of the truck. The estimated street value of the marijuana is $304,800.
"The discovery was initiated during a sweep of vehicles waiting to arrive at the primary inspection station," said Hector Mancha, CBP El Paso Port Director. "These operations are useful because officers and agents can quickly scan numerous vehicles in a short period of time."
Rojo-Mares was turned over to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement special agents to face charges associated with the failed smuggling attempt.

A poisonous snake has been found in a box of grapes in a factory in Northern Ireland.
During a quality check at Orchard County Foods in Craigavon, Co.Armagh a worker discovered the 10-inch suspected adder.
The grapes had been imported from Spain. Once the worker notified management the Ulster Society for the Protection of Animals was alerted and they came and took the reptile to the City Reptiles shop in Belfast.
Commenting on the discovery a spokesman for Orchard County foods said: "We would normally buy a large quantity of grapes throughout Europe.
"In the pre-production checks... it was identified a small snake was in the side of a box.
"The management were contacted and in turn they contacted the USPCA to remove the unwanted guest."

Sir Roger Bannister: The Right Stuff
The Four-Minute-Mile Man
Page 3 of 3
Your car accident in 1975 changed your life.Sir Roger Bannister: During recovery I reviewed what I was doing and thought that the time spent seeing patients in private practice would be better spent if I did more research. Research is the engine that drives the whole of medicine. In a way, I was wasting some of my talents in private practice. And one thing I don't like in life is to feel I'm wasting time. The car accident said, "Well, if there's something you want to do, you might as well do it because after the next car accident, you might be dead."
How do you feel about drug use in athletics?SRB: I've always been against any chemical method of enhancing performance. In 1963, the problem of drugs was just emerging. Anabolic steroids had ceased to have an exclusively medical function. The story then was bodybuilding in California, American football's premium on size and, as we now know, East Germany's producing at its height perhaps 30,000 athletes on steroids and winning Olympic medals per sport 600 times as often as Americans. When I was made chairman of the Sports Council in 1970, I was given a budget for research. I found the best steroid biochemist at St. Thomas' Hospital. Our test was so good it could detect traces, even if the athlete had stopped taking drugs two weeks before.
I got the first real tests done in 1972, at the then-Commonwealth Games in New Zealand. There were a number of positives -- five or six. My real frustration was that the international bodies -- the Olympic organizations and the International Amateur Athletic Federation -- were slow to implement the tests. It wasn't until the Seoul Olympics in 1988 that the Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson was caught.
Is the drug testing working?SRB: In the late 1960s through the early 1980s, the Communist bloc women held every record for middle-distance races. They broke the record for 800 meters at 1:53.3 in 1983; now they're doing only 1:58. This is evidence that drug testing is working -- that nobody in certain events has been able to replicate performances at the height of the drug regime. I'd spoken to the East German minister of labor and sport. He denied any drug use but said, "We do give medical advice to heighten potential." I later realized that, of course, was a code for a secret operation. It was absolutely appalling.
What's today's equivalent of the four-minute mile?SRB: I should think a two-hour marathon. They're doing two hours, five minutes now. The rate of improvement possible is greater the longer the distance because it involves improving oxygen uptake, which just means more training. But whether people will look at two hours in the same light as the four-minute mile, I don't know. We'll have to wait and see. It's part of man's incessant search for some niche that will, for a while, ensure him a certain degree of permanence or fame.

During the takeoff roll on runway 33, the left main landing gear collapsed as the aircraft was accelerating through about 55 to 60 knots. The pilot/co-owner of the aircraft reported that he was unable to identify any mechanical malfunction which have would allowed the left main gear to collapse. He also reported that the gear down lights were illuminated during the takeoff checklist. The reason for the release of the left main gear from the down and locked position could not be determined. However, a 5 to 10 knot quartering right crosswind existed at the time of the takeoff. Once the aircraft settled onto the left wing, the pilot was unable to maintain directional control, and the aircraft slid into another aircraft that was parked off the runway.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

April 1, 2006
A bizarre car accident occurred tonight in Fluvanna County. The car in the accident rolled over entirely, landing back on it's wheels. The driver then kept going, only to realize moments later that a passenger in the car had been thrown out of the vehicle.
Naomi Agboola was making dinner Saturday evening in her home along Rolling Road in Fluvanna County. That's when she heard a loud crash in her driveway.
"I saw the car kind of roll back over and pull off towards Charlottesville, and then turn around and went back down towards Scottsville," said Agboola. "There was all this stuff in the yard, so I just called 911."
Scattered along the road were CDs, backpacks, and clothing. All of it thrown out of the car when it rolled over. But there was also something else in her yard.
"When I got out here there was a guy laying under the tree," she explained. "All I could see was his boots and he was unresponsive. He [had a] positive pulse [and] positive respirations, but unresponsive. So I had 911 on the line. Then I got a little worried, but I'm a neuro surgical trauma nurse at the hospital, so I just checked his respiration, checked his responsiveness. He was breathing on his own."
The man thrown from the car, described as approximately 20 years old, was air lifted to UVA hospital. The driver and the other passenger were also treated.
"I don't think they knew they lost the boy. I think he fell out of the hatchback of the care with all the other stuff, and the other two drove off and they went about four houses down and parked. When they realized they lost the kid, they came back. They were walking," said Agboola.
Police and witnesses at the scene tonight, couldn't help but notice something else thrown from the vehicle.
"A lot of beer, alcohol. There was a 24-pack of Bud Lite, beer bottles, empty cans all over the yard," she said
Saturday night police were at the home of the driver. The car was moved behind the house out of view.
The passenger thrown from the vehicle is in stable condition. Police have not released his name, but they said the accident was under investigation. The other passenger and the driver have been released from the hospital.
None of the three people in the vehicle were wearing seatbelts, and all of them are under 21-years-old. Police say that the driver is facing 3 charges: DUI, Reckless Driving, and leaving the scene of an accident. Police believe alcohol did play a roll in what happened.

A trust can generally be used for a private benefit or for a charitable purpose.
Private benefit trusts are mainly used to protect assets or as an estate-freezing vehicle in South Africa.
Testamentary Trusts are generally used to hold assets of minor children until they reach maturity. The trust usually makes provision for education, welfare etc of the minor children.
A grant maker must review the trust deed to confirm that it meets the requirements of a charitable trust in South Africa.
Section 6 of the TPCA requires trusts to be registered with the Master of the High Court, before trustees are able to perform their role.
Testamentary trusts only require the completed acceptance of each trustee and all the requirements stated in form JM21 to be submitted.
Inter-vivos trusts are also required to submit the original trust deed or notarised certified copy (which should include R100 in uncancelled or impressed stamps on the deed) and a bond security submitted in Form J344 if required by the Master.
Section 4 of the TPCA provides the Master with powers to hold trust deeds and supervise trustee appointments.
Section 17 of TPCA requires trustees to keep documents for at least 5 years from the date of the trust termination, whilst section 16 of the TPCA provides the Master with the power to review trustee handling of trust property.
Income tax is imposed on a South African residents worldwide income. The income tax rate for trusts is 40%.
However, where a trust is making distributions to beneficiaries then the trust does not pay tax at 40% but the distributions are taxed at the beneficiaries tax rate.
Capital gains tax is imposed on a South African residents worldwide income. The capital gains tax rate for trusts is 20%
The transfer duty which is levied on the transfer of immoveable property is 10% for trusts.
In South Africa domestic sinking funds are taxed in accordance with Section 29A of the Income Tax Act. This is commonly known as the four-fund approach. This means that the insurance company's contract holder funds are taxed at a rate of 30%.
However, due to the relationship between Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (South Africa) (Pty) Ltd and our service company there is no tax in South Africa or the Isle of Man or Guernsey in respect of returns earned on behalf of the Contract Holder. In essence, any returns on the Investment Portfolio or Life Account 2 accumulate tax free.
It is possible that withholding tax may be deducted from some of the dividends at their country of origin. However, once the dividend is received, its reinvestment can accumulate tax free inside the Investment Portfolio or Life Account 2.
Buying and selling assets within an Investment Portfolio or Life Account 2 will attract no personal liability to capital gains tax. These tax impacts assume that no significant changes have been made to the original contract, for example, change of contract holder.

She was left behind on a remote Jackson County road murdered. Police have no idea who she is, and they are hoping someone has a lead for them. The search to find out who the victim is has gone statewide.
They have plenty of evidence. There is no question it is a homicide, but not everything is adding up. They don't know who the woman is.
A woman was murdered, and then tossed over a hill. She's a woman in her early to mid 20's. She's about five feet eight inches tall, and 120 pounds, with long brunette hair. Police found her with just a necklace on, and red painted toenails. Near her body was a pink tank top.
What's believed to be the second crime scene, where the body was found, is just off of big run road near the Jackson and Roane County lines.
The Mill Creek Baptist Church sits at the corner of Big Run Road, and news of the discovery is unsettling. The Sheriff is hoping for just a few answers to bring a vicious crime to justice.
Police aren't saying how the woman was murdered. They say the body has been there anywhere from two to seven days. There are no reports of any missing women with the same description in the region, so an alert has been sent out state wide. If you have any information, you are asked to call your local police department.

Dealing With DissensionPosted by on December 21, 2009 – 12:45 pm
It's normal for negativity and dissension to cluster among a team's fan base and media contingent following a loss. But with the manner in which the Vikings lost on Sunday night and with the opportunity that existed for the Vikings had they moved to 12-2, the team is getting an extra large helping of negativity and dissension.
Instead of celebrating a 2nd consecutive NFC North title, the fan base is worried about Philadelphia catching the Vikings for the NFC's #2 seed. Instead of assessing Brett Favre's chances of winning the MVP, the media is talking about a heated discussion on the sideline between the QB and head coach Brad Childress.
All of it is legitimate concern, too. So now the Vikings must deal with the dissension and find a way to move forward.
The first step in doing that has already happened – the team has returned to Winter Park for their normal treatment and training regimen following a game. Later today there will be a team meeting and then Childress will address the media at approximately 3:00 p.m.
It will be interesting to hear what Childress has to say, especially regarding the reports that he tried to bench Favre in the 3rd quarter.
With all of that said, it's also important to remember the Vikings are an 11-3 football team.

Henderson Focused On ReturnPosted by on December 21, 2009 – 9:23 am
A man of few words but a team captain and natural leader, LB E.J. Henderson's 2009 season was cut short, but his spirits remain high.
Since suffering a broken leg 2 weeks ago in Arizona, Henderson has returned to the Twin Cities where he is beginning rehab procedures and focusing on a return to the football field.
He's also focusing on continuing to help area youth through his E.J. Henderson Urban Youth Outreach and Game Speed Football Academy.
"I know it's going to be a long road back," Henderson said. "I've just started to rehab and have put my energy into that. I'm working toward being ready to go next season and want to say thanks to all the fans and people who have called, emailed, texted, send letters, just reached out in so many ways. I truly appreciate it and it means a lot to us. It's kept us encouraged over the past few weeks. I'm just gonna sit back and watch the Vikings make this championship run."
The Henderson family thanked the Vikings coaches and staff, along with E.J.'s teammates, for making him comfortable during these tough times.
"We've had so many people check in recently," Henderson said. "It's made everything as good as it could be. We really appreciate everything."

Panthers RB Stewart Cracks 100-Yard Mark Against VikingsPosted by on December 21, 2009 – 8:45 am
We've already noted the reasons why the Vikings 26-7 loss on Sunday night was so disappointing.
But there are more reasons.
And one of them is that in Carolina's winning effort, RB Jonathan Stewart did something that no other RB has been able to do against the Vikings over the previous 36 weeks – he rushed for 100 yards.
Stewart was the impetus behind Carolina's offensive attack and 26-point output against the Vikings on Sunday night. He carried the ball 25 times and rushed for 109 yards and 1 TD while also hauling in 2 receptions for 14 yards and 1 TD.
The 2nd-year pro did most of his damage after Panthers starting RB DeAngelo Williams left the game with an ankle injury. One might have thought that without Williams in the game, the Vikings would've been in great shape to extend their impressive streak and pull out an important late-season road win.
But that clearly wasn't the case.
Stewart's 100-yard rushing performance against the Vikings is the first such performance the Vikings have allowed since Ryan Grant ran for 102 yards on 11/11/07.

Vikings Suffer Disappointing Loss To CarolinaPosted by on December 21, 2009 – 7:50 am
The Vikings suffered a disappointing and embarrassing 26-7 loss at Carolina on Sunday night. The loss was discouraging on many levels – QB Brett Favre and the offense never got going, the defense eventually relented in the 2nd half after an admirable performance during the first 2 quarters and a pair of starters were benched during the game for performance reasons.
Adding to the disappointment, though, was the fact that the Vikings had every reason to come out of the locker room at Bank of America Stadium firing on all cylinders. Just a few hours before kickoff in Carolina, the Vikings clinched their 2nd consecutive NFC North title by virtue of Green Bay's loss at Pittsburgh and on Saturday night the New Orleans Saints fell at home to the Dallas Cowboys to leave open the possibility of the Vikings earning the #1 seed in the NFC.
But instead of seizing the moment, the Vikings issued a flat performance. Sunday night's loss represents the Vikings 2nd in the last 3 weeks and also marks their 2nd consecutive poor performance in front of a national TV audience.
The loss drops the Vikings to 11-3 and now the Purple is just 1 game ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles for the #2 seed in the NFC. This is disappointing because the Vikings entered their game against the Panthers with a chance to cut into the Saints hold on the #1 seed, but now the Vikings must win out to ensure that they can hold their own grip on the #2 seed.
