What is Najib and Muhyiddin going to do about the crying shame and national disgrace that not a single Malaysian university could get into the THE Top 400 World University Rankings 2014?
Posted by Kit in Education, Muhyiddin Yassin, university on Thursday, 2 October 2014
Today the media of all countries with higher education masterplans and strategies to take their people and economies to greater heights are focussing and debating the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2014, and the performance of their universities – with the exception of Malaysia.
Not a word in the Malaysian mainstream media owned or controlled by the Barisan Nasional parties about the THE World University Rankings 2014 and the dismal performance of Malaysian universities.
The reason is simple. For the fifth year in succession, since the launching of the THE World University Rankings in 2010, not a single university had made it into the THE Top 400 University Rankings.
The Education Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin maintains a conspicuous silence about the continued exclusion for the fifth year of Malaysian universities from the THE Top 400 Universities, just as he had continued to maintain a conspicuous, inelegant and infamous silence about Malaysia's poor performance in the 2011 TIMSS (Trends in International Maths and Science Study) and 2012 PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) both of which fell during his term in the education ministry.
Muhyiddin is only good in eating sour grapes with regard to the ranking of Malaysian universities in international university rankings. Read the rest of this entry »
Latest rebuttals to the DPM and PM's boasts of Malaysia as "world's best democracy" and "world's best education system"
Posted by Kit in Crime, Education, Muhyiddin Yassin, Najib Razak, university on Wednesday, 1 October 2014
Malaysians woke up this morning to further and latest rebuttals to the Deputy Prime Minister and the Prime Minister's boasts of Malaysia as the "one of the world's best education system" and "world's best democracy".
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's boast that Malaysia has "one of the world's best education system" was given a bloody nose by the report that Malaysian universities again failed to make the cut to this year's Times Higher Education (THE) top 200 global rankings while Singapore's National University (which shared the same beginnings with University of Malaya) leapt into the top 25 universities list.
The Malay Mail Online in its report "Malaysian universities not in top 200 global rankings, Singapore's improves" said the latest index shows a significant drop for Malaysian universities from last year's ranking.
Muhyiddin has been Education Minister for more than five years since 2009.
He should make a Ministerial statement when Parliament resumes next Tuesday on Oct. 7 why all efforts during year tenure as Education Minister for over five years have failed to restore Malaysia's high international standing in university academic repute and excellence in the fifties and sixties – to the extent that for five consecutive years, none of the Malaysian universities had been able to be ranked among the THE Top 200 University Rankings.

Muhyiddin should relinquish his portfolio as Education Minister as he had spearheaded the BN campaign and won the Pengkalan Kubor by-election in Kelantan at the expense of his duties to the future of 500,000 UPSR pupils
Posted by Kit in Education, Muhyiddin Yassin on Friday, 26 September 2014
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has reasons to feel very proud as he can claim chief credit for the Umno/BN victory in the Pengkalan Kubor by-election in Kelantan, winning with an even bigger majority than during the 13th general elections last May.
I don't think there is another Cabinet Minister from outside Kelantan who had spent so many days and visited Tumpat so many times as Muhyiddin during the 13-day by-election campaign period.
But this by-election victory for BN/UMNO has come at a heavy price – Muhyiddin's abdication of his responsibilities as Education Minister and in particular his duties and responsibilities to the future generation of Malaysians as since his return from the ASEAN Education Ministers' Meeting in Vientianne, he headed immediately for Tumpat and his sole pre-occupation since then was to win a bigger victory for Umno/BN in Pengkalan Kubor by-election instead of personally dealing with the outrageous educational scandal in the leak of UPSR examination papers.
During this period, Muhyiddin had only time for one meeting in the Education Ministry on the leak of UPSR Science and English papers – on Sept. 15 when he chaired the special meeting to scrutinize the Standards Operating Procedures (SOPs) used for preparing the UPSR examination papers.
This special UPSR SOP meeting has become a great farce, as Muhyiddin did not appear to know at the meeting that there had been leaks of more UPSR papers including Maths and Tamil, and the UPSR pupils, their parents and the Malaysian public were not informed until Monday on Sept. 22 that the UPSR Maths and Tamil papers had leaked and UPSR pupils are required to resit for these two papers on Oct. 9.

DAP call for scrapping of re-sitting of UPSR English, Tamil and Maths papers as the 500,000 primary school pupils should not be made to suffer because of the incompetence and lack of professionalism of the Education Minister and his Ministry
Posted by Kit in Education, Muhyiddin Yassin on Thursday, 25 September 2014
DAP calls for the scrapping of the re-sitting of the UPSR English, Tamil and Maths papers as the 500,000 Std. 6 primary school pupils should not be made to suffer because of the shocking incompetence and lack of professionalism of the Education Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and his Ministry.
It is the height of irresponsibility and gross negligence of the first magnitude that the Education Ministry took13 days to announce the leak in the UPSR Maths and Tamil papers and the requirement for UPSR pupils to resit for these two papers on Oct. 9.
The Education director-general Datuk Dr. Khair Mohamad Yusof announced on Monday that the date was fixed after the Examinations Syndicate confirmed on Sunday that the papers sat by the UPSR pupils on Sept. 10 were leaked.
What boggles the mind is that after the disgraceful leak of the UPSR Science and English papers on Sept. 10 and 11, which were discovered on the very same day itself, it has taken the Examinations Syndicate, the Education Ministry and the Education Minister almost a fortnight to discover that the UPSR Tamil and Maths had also been leaked.
If this is not incompetence and lack of professionalism of the first order, I do not know what would qualify to come under the rubric of these two terms. Read the rest of this entry »
DAP calls for Royal Commission of Inquiry into Education to investigate not only into frequent incidence of leaks of Malaysian examination papers in recent years but also all aspects of declining standards of primary, secondary and university education
Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin must have been the most embarrassed Education Minister at the 8th ASEAN Education Ministers Meeting in Vientiane on Thursday when news broke of leaks in this year's UPSR examination papers, causing the Deputy Prime Minister and Education Minister to allege that the leaks could have been purposely done to sabotage him personally and the Education Ministry.
Muhyiddin's allegation of sabotage is most surprising but nobody will give it much credence as Muhyiddin seems to be the only person in Malaysia not to know that leaks in examination papers conducted by the Malaysian examination authority are not unusual occurrences – just as Muhyddin seemed to be the only Malaysian not to know that English is not a compulsory pass subject for SPM when he became Education Minister five years ago.
Last November, the Education Ministry announced a special task force to conduct immediate investigation into the leak of Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) and Ujian Penilaian Sekolah Rendah (UPSR) examination papers but nothing have been heard about these investigations.
So Muhyiddin's talk about wanting to get to the bottom of the leaks in this year's UPSR examination papers and to bring the culprits to justice must be taken with a pinch of salt for he has never been serious as Education Minister about leaks in examination papers except on this occasion, when he was made to look so foolish among his peers at the ASEAN conference of Education Ministers by this shameful episode.

Our medical colleges – for better or for worse?

Aug 27, 2014
COMMENT Medical colleges in the country have been hogging the headlines of late. Certain medical colleges have shamed us publicly and internationally for allegedly not paying staff salaries and not settling their contractual dues.
If the medical colleges involved do not feel ashamed, we Malaysians and Malaysian doctors feel the shame. It is certainly not our Malaysian culture to be known across the world for this.
Recently, there was also the irresponsible statement by Deputy Education Minister P Kamalanathan to cut down on places in public medical colleges when the problem is with private medical colleges. Private medical education is now big business.
I am writing to highlight this very important issue that medical education has now become a business, important only for the bottom line of the company owning the licence. Read the rest of this entry »
Raising a family of true Malaysians

– Prof Dr. Mohamad Tajuddin Mohamad Rasdi
The Malaysian Insider
27 August 2014
In many senses, it seems funny that Malaysians, particularly the Malays, find great difficulty in the idea of a united, harmonious and happy Malaysia. I am a Malay. All my Malay friends at UTM and other universities and all my relatives and that of my wife are… racist. If I were to invite all of them to a marriage ceremony, the number would easily reach 3,000. Based on a simple sampling of 5% of this population that I engage in socialising, I have established that they know nothing about the idea of "Malaysia". All they know is the condition of "we just have to tolerate those immigrants and make sure they don't make us like Singapore" mind set. I have always thought that some of my friends and relatives whom I respect as very pious Muslims would be different, but they too turn out to be racist when political issues are discussed. It came as a shock to me. I thought that Islam would be one of the answers to eliminate racism, but apparently, the "Malay-view" interpretation of Islam always take precedence. Islam is NOT the problem but its racist interpretation is. I know this for a fact because of my vast reading of Islam, thousands of hadiths and many versions of Qur'anic Tafsir.
In this Merdeka celebration, the "idea" of Malaysia seems only in a dream or in a Petronas or a DiGi commercial. The idea of Malaysia does not exist in our schools, in our public universities, at our housing and our cities. But I still remain optimistic. Why? Because my family is NOT racist. My wife who is a retired teacher is not racist. My 28-year-old lecturer daughter educated at IIUM is not racist. My 26-year-old journalist daughter educated at TAR College and Taylors University is not racist. My 23-year-old son in his third year at UCSI University is not racist. My 20-year-old SEGi University daughter is not racist. And my 18-year-old Inti University son is also not racist. How did I manage to form my own small country of "Malaysia"? There are a few simple strategies that I had developed. I will save the most important one for last. Read the rest of this entry »
Muhyiddin should present to October Parliament a Higher Education Masterplan to produce at least two world-class universities by 2020 instead of allowing Malaysian universities to become recruiting grounds for terrorists for Islamic State (IS) war in Syria and Iraq
Posted by Kit in Education, Muhyiddin Yassin, university on Sunday, 13 July 2014
The admission by the Home Minister, Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi that local tertiary institutions have become recruiting grounds for militants and that Dr. Mahmud Ahmad, senior lecturer with University of Malaya (UM)'s Department of Akidah and Islamic Thought, the Academy of Islamic Studies, was among five individuals wanted by the police for militant activities have catapulted Malaysian universities to unwanted national and international attention and publicity.
Instead of producing world-class universities in keeping with the Vision 2020 objective to achieve developed nation status, Malaysian universities have for the past decade been a national embarrassment, annually confirming the absence of world-class universities in Malaysia.
Malaysia was completely absent from the Times Higher Education World Rankings 2013-2014 for the world's top 400 University.
For the second year running, Malaysia failed to get on the list of the 2014 Times Higher Education (THE) Top 100 Universities under 50 years old – although four Asian universities are ranked among the top 10 of the world's young universities, two from South Korea, one from Hong Kong and one from Singapore. In Malaysia, all the public universities except for University of Malaya, are under 50 years old.
Malaysia was also excluded from the Times Higher Education World Reputation Rankings 2014 for the Top 100 Universities, although 14 universities from Asia were included – five from Japan, two from Singapore, three from South Korea, one from China, two from Hong Kong and one from Taiwan.

Our varsities neutered and muted, say academics
Posted by Kit in Education, university on Friday, 4 July 2014

The Malaysian Insider
4 July 2014
A culture of fear and pressure to follow the dictates of political masters built over three decades has made public universities anti-intellectual and mediocre, say academics.
They told The Malaysian Insider that while universities were supposed to be the conscience of society, they, however, have been neutered and muted.
They said political pressure to "toe the line" is a daily reality in universities, and those who are critical are harassed while those who kowtow are rewarded with plum posts.
At the same time, cronyism and racism have led to genuinely hardworking researchers being passed over for salary raises and promotions, while others less qualified, but on good terms with the top administrators, are easily elevated.
If the culture continues, the academics warn, standards in these varsities could plunge, making their degrees virtually worthless and their graduates almost unemployable. Read the rest of this entry »
When principled men like UM's Redzuan lose a battle, but win the war
Posted by Kit in Education, nation building, university on Monday, 30 June 2014
30 June 2014
This is a good day for Malaysia.
Yes, most of us will be sorry that Professor Datuk Dr Mohamad Redzuan Othman is being forced out of his job at Universiti Malaya.
But this is also a good day for Malaysia. Because the principled stand taken by this gentleman is another sign that there are individuals in Malaysia who will not be cowered or silenced or threatened by insecure Barisan Nasional (BN) politicians aided by supine and morally-bankrupt government officials.
Only a few days ago, Tan Sri Shamsul Abbas, the chief executive officer of Petronas, spoke with unusual candour about the pressure being exerted on the national oil company by rent-seekers. He championed meritocracy, knowing full well the attacks he would invite from those who believe it is their birthright to plunder Malaysia's resources.
He knows that powerful forces want him out of Petronas. The easier option would have been to say that the national oil company's resources do not belong to him and look the other way as the plundering continued.
Similarly, it would have been so easy for Redzuan to sacrifice his beliefs for personal advancement and pecuniary interests. Read the rest of this entry »
Malaysian Leaders' First World Education, Third World Mentality

Review of Syed Husin Ali's Memoirs of a Political Struggle.
by M. Bakri Musa
Syed Husin Ali: Memoirs of a Political Struggle. Strategic Information and Research Development Center, Petaling Jaya, 2013. 273 pp.
The deserved universal condemnation and merciless ridicule of the Malaysian authorities' bungling of the MH370 tragedy did not arise in a vacuum. From leaders' refusing to entertain questions at their press briefings to radar operators ignoring intruding beeps on their screens, this unconcealed contempt for the public, and the accompanying lackadaisical attitude, is the norm.
Our leaders may have had First World education, alas their mentality remains stubbornly stuck in Third World mode. Their bebalism and tidak apaism make the Jamaican "It's not my job, mon!" a valid excuse by contrast.
To readers of on-line news portals, I am not stating anything new here; likewise to ordinary citizens who have had to deal with governmental agencies. However, when these general inadequacies and gross incompetence in their infinite manifestations are put in print as in books, there is satisfaction, at least to their authors, that they are being documented for posterity.

Teachers' right to support political party of their choice, say teachers, NGOs
by Elizabeth Zachariah

4 June 2014
Teachers should not be compelled to only support Barisan Nasional as they have the right to support any political party of their choice, educationists said today.
"Teachers are just like any other citizen in the country. And like other professionals, they have political opinions too," said Hashim Adnan, president of the National Union of the Teaching Profession (NUTP), in response to Umno secretary-general Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor's call to teachers to return to politics under BN's fold.
"They should be given freedom to exercise their rights," he added. Read the rest of this entry »
Teluk Intan and all that jazz

What is promised to our youth in this by-election that is pitching the old versus the young? What do we need to see radically changed in our society? Here are my thoughts, especially today.
I am very sad today, reading about rape cases involving minors – gang-rape, to be exact, of ten, twelve, thirty young kids destroying each other! Madness. No-nonsense parenting is key here, folks.
Just when I had finished writing this first draft for this column, I read about a two year-old girl taken away from a shopping mall and later found with her head severed and her body dumped near the Klang River. Madness.
Days earlier we read about the early morning robbery of two nuns in Seremban, of which one of them died of serious head injuries. Almost daily we still read about snatch thefts resulting in the victims injured. An endless cycle of violence we are living in. Madness.
Back to what is happening to our youth. Read the rest of this entry »

26 MEI — Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) sering diperdebatkan baru-baru ini semenjak pencalonan calon parti politik DAP, Dyana Sofya Mohd Daud untuk kerusi Parlimen Teluk Intan. Pada tahun lepas, Dyana yang merupakan seorang graduan Fakulti Undang-Undang UiTM telah mencadangkan agar sebuah institusi seperti UiTM dibuka kepada golongan bukan bumiputera yang berpendapatan rendah.
Sesetengah pihak menganggap Dyana mahu UiTM dimansuhkan ataupun paling tidak dibuka kepada semua kaum. Dyana turut juga membangkitkan kepincangan dalam pengambilan pelajar apabila golongan Bumiputera yang kaya diterimamasuk sebagai pelajar lantas telah mengambil hak golongan bumiputera yang miskin untuk belajar di situ.
Sekurang-kurangnya satu kesan positif yang timbul daripada isu panas ini ialah timbul kesedaran tentang peranan UiTM dikalangan rakyat walaupun diiringi dengan pelbagai kritikan, prasangka dan juga hinaan dan cacian secara terbuka di media-media. Saya yakin ramai sudah maklum serba sedikit tentang sejarah dan matlamat penubuhan institusi ini dan tidak kurang juga tentang Artikel 153 Perlembagaan Persekutuan.
Pelbagai hujahan telah ditulis oleh pelbagai pihak baik dari pihak UiTM, para graduan UiTM (selain Dyana), para majikan dan tidak kurang juga golongan awam. Eloklah kita ambil kesempatan ini untuk menilai tahap kejayaan UiTM ketika ini dan mengenalpasti halatuju selanjutnya.

How to ensure poor get their share of scholarships

Since my retirement, I have been concerned with how we can solve the problem of the poor through educational mobility.
This has involved putting my money where my mouth is in a programme which helps needy families send their children to university through financing their first year.
Although Forbes, the media organisation has given recognition to me in its annual selection of Asian philanthropic heroes in 2011, I am the first to realise that my efforts at providing scholarships to the needy are modest and a drop in the ocean of need.
After much reflection, I would like to provide a practical and easy solution to the problem of too many deserving poor children having to chase and compete for too few scholarships.
My solution is a two-pronged one. Read the rest of this entry »
Malaysian universities not among world's top 'young' institutions, global survey shows
Posted by Kit in Education, university on Thursday, 1 May 2014
by Elizabeth Zachariah
The Malaysian Insider
Malaysian public universities have once again failed to measure up to higher learning institutions around the world, this time being left out of the latest ranking of the annual Times Higher Education (THE) Top 100 Universities under 50 years old.
Four Asian universities are ranked among the top 10 of the world's young universities, including South Korea's Pohang University of Science and Technology which took the top spot, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (3), Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (4) and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (5).
Malaysia, however, failed to get on the list for the second year running. In the first rankings list in 2012, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) was ranked 98th.
This is despite Putrajaya's claim that Malaysia has one of the best education systems in the world – better than United States, Britain and Germany. Read the rest of this entry »
What is 'the best interest of everyone' by retracting invitation to opposition lawmaker?
April 10, 2014
DAP's Tony Pua has been 'uninvited' by the organisers of the Malaysia Summit Australia conference due to pressue from sponsors of the event. – The Malaysian Insider pic, April 10,2014.DAP MP Tony Pua is not speaking at the Malaysia Summit Australia (MASA) in Melbourne on April 22 because the event's main sponsors felt that "it was not in the best interest of everyone" to have him on the panel.
Among the sponsors are Shell Malaysia, Astro, Education Malaysia Australia, Ayam Brand, Malaysian Australian Alumni Council and Kelab Umno Australia.
Obviously, it is their right to decide on the speakers line-up as they are funding the annual summit that features Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin and Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir.
This is not the first time that those who are critical of the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) government are barred from students events. Last week, Universiti Malaya (UM) refused to allow former Bersih co-chair Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan to speak at a law convention.
Pua, the Petaling Jaya Utara MP, also revealed that he had been barred from speaking in UM on at least three occasions. Again, that is UM's right.
These incidents reflect the mindset of the varsities, organisers and the sponsors, who are more interested in being in the good books of the ruling government than being the catalysts for students to listen and learn from those on all sides of the political divide. Read the rest of this entry »
Chronic rent-seeking due to corrupted NEP, says Ku Li
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Education, NEP, Razaleigh Hamzah on Friday, 4 April 2014

Malay Mail Online
4 April 2014
KUALA LUMPUR, April 4 — "Haywire" implementation of the New Economic Policy (NEP) was the cause of the rampant cronyism and rent-seeking now ailing Malaysia, said veteran lawmaker Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.
The former finance minister said the practice of patronage in implementing the policy had undermined the "just and noble" philosophy that underpinned the social engineering programme that was mooted in the aftermath of the May 13, 1969 racial riots.
"The entrenchment of rent-seeking and patronage system into the fabric of Malaysian life begs the question: How did this come to pass?" he said in his keynote address at the launch of the book "Rich Malaysia, Poor Malaysians" last night.
"Much as this sounds like a blame game and much as this is distasteful to swallow, the answer lies in the New Economic Policy; or rather, the NEP that had gone wrong in its implementation," he added.
Tengku Razaleigh, or Ku Li as he is popularly known, said the country has fallen victim to the machinations of politicians habitually lining their own pockets and colluding with businessmen who were uncompetitive without preferential treatment. Read the rest of this entry »
Malaysia ranks 39 out of 44 countries in problem-solving test for 15-year-olds, says report
by Elizabeth Zachariah
The Malaysian Insider
April 02, 2014
Malaysia once again fared poorly in a world student performance assessment test conducted in 2012, ending up in the bottom quarter among 44 countries – a result that reinforces the concern that the country's education system is in tatters.
Malaysia ranked 39 with a mean score of 422 in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) first assessment on creative problem-solving, while neighbouring Singapore came out tops with a mean score of 562, said the report released yesterday by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
The overall mean score for all countries was 500.
Malaysia had more than half of the share of low achievers, which means the students tested lacked the skills needed in a modern workplace.
In contrast, Singapore only had 8% share of low achievers. The mean share was 21.4%.
On the other hand, Malaysia only had 0.9% share of top performers compared with Singapore's 29.3%. Malaysia's share was below the average percentage of 11.4%.
This showed that only one out of 10 Malaysian students, aged 15, is able to solve the most complex problems, compared with one in five in Singapore, Korea and Japan. Read the rest of this entry »
Malaysia must stop mediocrity rot

Former de facto law minister Datuk Zaid Ibrahim said that in 30 years, Malaysia will be on a par with Singapore.
He is totally wrong in that Malaysia will never be able to catch up with Singapore. Why? It is simple. Singapore practise hyper meritocracy while Malaysia practises mediocrity.
The two countries are moving forward at different speeds. They can only be getting further apart over time.
World Bank senior economist Dr Frederico Gil Sander recently said that the low quality of Malaysia's education was more alarming than its household debts.

Spyware: The Next Real Threat
Spyware: The Next Real Threat
Ryan Naraine
Posted 2004-12-09
A Computer Associates exec warns that spyware will soon become an even bigger headache for enterprises than viruses.
NEW YORKSpyware will replace the mass-mailing worm as the biggest nuisanceand security threatfacing businesses in 2005. Thats the chilling assessment from Roger Thompson, director of content research security management at Computer Associates International Inc.
Thompson used the spotlight of the InfoSecurity 2004 conference here to highlight the growing threat from spyware and adware "pests" and issue a call to arms for a unified industry approach to fighting back.
"The only things multiplying faster than definitions for what constitutes spyware, is the malware itself," Thompson said, warning that the threat from spyware will make mass-mailing viruses seem trivial. "The mass-mailers became a problem because they were spreading faster than we could issue updates to block them. Theyre still around today, but weve figured out ways to keep them at bay. They cease to be a real strategic threat to corporations," Thompson said. Spyware, on the other hand, which uses covert techniques to install itself on computers and track user activity to serve up annoying advertisements, presents a legitimate threat because of the way malicious code can be executed on infected systems.
Spyware, otherwise known as adware, has become the preferred delivery mechanism for malicious Trojans capable of relaying information to other computers or locations on the Web. According to anti-virus vendor Symantec Corp., spyware authors can actively or passively hijack user passwords, log-in details, credit card numbers and other sensitive personal information. Because spyware is often tied to peer-to-peer applications, experts warn that individual files or other corporate data could be stolen by spyware programs running on infected systems. "Your data is at risk and theres nothing we can do right now to stop it," Thompson said. He confirmed a researchers
recent findings
that the best-performing anti-spyware scanner is not capable of detecting all the "critical" files and registry entries installed by the malicious programs. "Spyware is built for functionality. No one, except the spyware author, knows what the program is capable of doing. Theyre changing frequently and theyre becoming impossible to manage," Thompson said. He explained that spyware writers use "tricklers" to silently reinstall spyware components after they are removed. "This makes it even worse than the mass-mailers. They change the components frequently and even when you remove registry key entries, the program simply reinstalls it," Thompson warned. He said legitimate companies that market P2P applications such as Kazaa and Grokster have built spyware acceptance into complicated EULAs (end-user license agreements). "When you install the P2P program, you agree in advance to accept all future changes, even the changes made by the tricklers," he said.worst pest on its spyware list. The Islandia, N.Y.-based CA reckons that Kazaa users suffer from degrading network performance and storage consumption because of the embedded spyware and adware that comes with the application. During his presentation at the security conference, Thompson predicted that malicious spyware writers will take advantage of P2P and instant messaging usage in the workplace to wreak havoc. While activities such as file-sharing or downloading shareware are currently viewed as a mere nuisance, Thompson warned that the industry cannot afford to ignore the growing evidence that spyware "will soon become an even bigger headache than viruses." He suggested businesses treat any program that offers remote access as a potential threat. "Even the network management tools that you use to access desktops can be spyware in the wrong context. "Remember, a virus is a single program with a single registry key. With spyware, were talking about thousands of programs with lots of registry keys. We dont even know the motive of the spyware authors. Its very hard to find legitimate use for a spyware program, no matter how hard we try," he added.

He said spyware running on enterprise computers is an "enormous threat" because there is absolutely no knowledge of the kinds of data being transmitted to the mother ship. "Theyre usually working over Port 80 so nothing is stopping it. The possibility for corporate espionage is enormous." Thompson said he believes the industry will benefit from the passage of anti-spyware legislation. Congress is debating four anti-spyware bills, including HR 2929, which was introduced by U.S. Rep. Mary Bono to require that users give explicit permission before tracking software is installed. "We need to monitor the activities of the adware purveyors to ensure they behave. The first step is to make sure we strengthen the rules for these companies. The fight back will be a combination of legislation and technology," Thompson said.

Miranda Kerr Calendar in VMAN Pictures
Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio Go Calendar Girl For VMAN
Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio were among the models selected by guest editor Carine Roitfeld for a spread in VMAN. Their new issue hits newsstands next Tuesday, Feb. 14. The girls, along with ten other models, including Adriana Lima, Doutzen Kroes, and Chanel Iman, did a pinup shoot made to look like the 12 pages of a calendar. It was a reunion of sorts for some of the ladies, like Adriana, Alessandra, and Miranda, who are all Victoria's Secret Angels. Miranda is currently Down Under with her family, while Alessandra is taking a hiatus from her Angel duties while pregnant. Adriana, though, stepped out earlier this week for a VS Valentine's Day event and told us about what she and husband Marko Jaric have planned for the big day.
Click through to see Miranda, Adriana, and more models, like Lily Donaldson, Joan Smalls, and Izabel Goulart.

What to do when you've been waitlisted

To help your waitlist position---claim a minority status. However, best to not be Asian as that group is overly represented. Stanford Med has accepted MD candidates from Irvine Med last week. One is so unqualified she passed with D's! To beef her up---they sent her to Harvard for a masters in public health---which consisted of lunchtime seminars! So play the race card and watch the doors open.

It is amazing how people come up with statements that they cannot back up with facts. Sounds like sour grapes to me. Obviously "SHE", a woman, is a minority. Fact is that women are surpassing men in college enrollment. If a student is FEMALE and a minority, must mean she can get accepted for her undergraduate studies, then on to grad/medical school without having to lift a finger. As I said, amazing.

3/7/2014 (Updated 6:41:31 PM)
The Lady Bearcats enter the America East Quarterfinals against Albany as the underdog. Having faced the Great Danes twice, and lost both times, Binghamton isn't worried so much about the past. The Bearcats know that they aren't given much of a chance but they've had plenty of time and experience to scout the top-seeded tournament hosts.VIEW VIDEO

The White Mandingo's - Your new favorite group
Last night I heard this odd tune playing out of my lady-friend's laptop. I couldn't decide whether to start moshing or perform the stoic rapper-headnod. It turned out to be Murs rapping, rapidly, to a slightly offbeat Bad Brains sounding vocal loop. Upon more research we came to find out that Murs joined supergroup The White Mandingos with, Ego Trip's, Sacha Jenkins on guitar and bassist Darryl Jenifer of Bad Brains. The combination of musical genres alone has me eager to hear the entire project. If you're a fan of punk and hip hop collectively get ready to go nuts.
The song mentioned before is called "Mandingo Rally". You can check it below and pick up a limited edition 7" vinyl copy on Record Store Day (4/20).
If you want to know a bit more about The White Mandingos watch the video below. They break down how the group got started and talk about the process of making what may be a classic.
This is their latest video "The Ghetto Is Tryna Kill Me" directed by Jason Goldwatch. It's a little weird.

Urbana High School seniors on Tuesday told Frederick County Public Schools Superintendent Theresa Alban they only have a few things they would change about their school experience.
They would like to see school lunches become more appealing and healthy. And they would not mind if school officials upgraded some of the outdated equipment in their auditorium and TV studio.
But when it comes to school programs and their teachers, seniors agree there is little room for improvement.
"The teachers just care and they want you to succeed," said senior Connor Smith, who added his teachers often stay late to work with students.
"[Our experience] would not have been nearly as great if teachers had not had that amount of passion," Smith said.
This was the kind of feedback Alban received from students on the day she started visiting all of Frederick County's 10 high schools.
Alban, in her first year as superintendent, wants meet in person with seniors from each graduating class and give students an informal opportunity to tell her about the pluses and minuses of their experience with Frederick County Public Schools.
"I think the best way to improve customer service is to talk with your customers. And you are our customers," Alban told seniors. "I get to speak at your graduation and I wanted it to be meaningful to you."
As part of the hour-long conversation, Alban learned about Urbana High School's graduating class, which seniors think stands out with its high achievement, school pride, diversity and openness.
Urbana High School seniors made local and national headlines earlier this school year, when they selected Kevin Schombert — a student with Down syndrome — as their homecoming king. Nominating Schombert, the manager for the school basketball team, was a student-led effort. Students think their open attitude toward personal differences sets them apart from graduates in other Frederick County high schools.
"A lot of classes have good grades," said senior Chad Byrd. "But I don't think anybody else has anyone as special as Kevin win homecoming king."
Students opened up about improvements that would affect graduating classes coming in behind them.
Some told Alban they would appreciate an opportunity to have open lunch, which would allow them to leave school campus for 30 minutes every day. It could be a privilege just for seniors, who are responsible enough to stay safe and not abuse the freedom, senior Courtney Smith told Alban.
While Alban took notes on students' recommendations for improvement and promised to discuss them with her cabinet members, seniors said they appreciated the opportunity to give feedback.
"It was nice to be able to say something about my experience," Courtney said. "It was really comfortable."
Alban continues her visits today, when she will be stopping at Tuscarora High School. She will be at Gov. Thomas Johnson High School on April 16; Linganore High School on April 17; Frederick High School on April 19; Walkersville and Brunswick High Schools on April 23 and Middletown High School and the Frederick County Career and Technology Center on April 24.

Dont Party Interviews :: Red Huxley
A rock, indie, hells-yeh band from Cape Town they are the winners of 'The Loeries battle of the bands 2009' & 'The Rock Premier League 2010'. A serious contender in the Sa Rock scene. We had a little chat with these dudes to find out what makes them tick! So without further ado:
Howzit guyz, as always, first things first…Who the hell is Red Huxley? And what are your weapons?
We are a rock band from Cape Town and we're having a good time making our version of rock music. We're armed with old school rock foundations and a straight and simple no frills attitude which has translated into a raw, gritty and jamming sound that intends to cut through the superficial layer of image based rock and hit you directly in the bones. (Exactly what old school rock intended to do.)
I love Band Names,why bands choose them and how they came to pass. Whats the story behind the name 'Red Huxley'?
Well it's a story about this crazy fictitious character who's name sounded cool and just suited the bands sound. Band names are always tricky, suppose it sounds cool and feels right at a certain point in time and we decided, cool, lets smash it.
Being a successful band these means more than just playing killer music, you need something that sets you apart. What do you think makes you guys different?
A successful band is only as strong as their weakest link, so we try to do everything from the music to the artwork etc. as best we can. But what we think sets us apart on the music front is the fact that we play with a high energy and our sound is unique which gets people going at our gigs. People often say they can't tell us who we sound like, which is a good thing.
What I also really dig about Red Huxley is the artwork you guys put on your posters, fan page, website etc. Who's the designer? Is it one of you guys?
Yeah, Matthew our bassist is a mastermind designer and all things related which is insanely awesome. Artwork can be just as captivating as a really good song that gets you going, if you put strong visuals and music together it can be very powerful.
The biggest venue doesn't necessarily mean the best audience. Which is the best crowd you've played to to date?
The best gig/party was the Rated R gig we organised at the Harley Davidson Club. It was a night filled with good music, lots of cheap booze, bikes and an awesome crowd. There was just an amazing atmosphere that lasted for weeks. Another bigger better party there is definitely on the cards towards the end of this year.
What band are each of you guys loving at the moment?
Murray – the new Foo Fighters
Dylan – The Black Keys
Matt – Kyuss
If you could play at any concert which one would it be and why?
We're a little torn over this one, but Download, Glastonbury and Lollapalooza festivals spring to mind. Who wouldn't want to play there?
Ive downloaded your whole EP, its okay…Kidding obviously hahaha…When can we expect a full album?
We recorded that EP ages ago at Red Bull studios and if you couple never-recorded-before nerves and an electric drum kit, I think its pretty cool for a first shot. (We're probably a little over critical though, electric drumkits don't gel nicely with rock music.)
At the moment we are in the relatively long process of pre preproduction of an album. We plan to release an 8song EP in the not too distant future accompanied by a music video. So we're constantly busy trying to get all our shit together, so when the time is right we can make it happen and hopefully keep it going.
Oasis or Blur?
Its two against one for Oasis.
Nice one brutha's!

Neil Dwane, manager of the Allianz RCM European Equity Income fund, said in the current market environment of negative real US and German bond yields, investors should consider dividend stocks. Mr Dwane said that due to the price decline in equity markets, the average dividend yield of European stocks had risen to 4.2 per cent.
In comparison US dividend yields amount to only about 2.2 per cent and the average in Asia Pacific was 3.5 per cent. He said: "We believe that an equity dividend strategy that focuses on high-dividend companies should offer investors an attractive coupon, especially in today's low interest rate environment. It is all about stock selection as it is not just the level of yield, but also the sustainability of that yield."

Pandora Following Script That Could Keep Crushing Shorts
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- I'm not sure why I let this stuff bother me so much.
I guess, at the end of every hard-earned day ... if I expect to still find some reason to believe, I need to cue up Springsteen and then call out financial media injustice. This time with respect to Pandora (P - Get Report).
It's a shame to see Seeking Alpha, the site that provided me and so many of my friends and colleagues with an excellent platform to learn and grow from, devolve into a sweatshop for uninformed and poorly-researched "Short Ideas."
There's a "contributor" to Seeking Alpha who stands out among the handful who constantly publish bearish Pandora proclamations. This person only rises from the pack because his short theses do not stand up to even the lightest journalistic eyeball or most casual edit. I presume Seeking Alpha has stopped using editors because the ones I worked with between 2011 and 2012 would have never let this sort of tripe get past them. In "Quoth the Raven's" most recent Pandora piece, he tells us that ...Clearly, the active listeners have started to hit some type of plateau ...He makes this case void of any context whatsoever beyond what he can pull from his clearly uninformed and shamefully opportunistic perch. First, moderation in the growth of listenership, whether you choose to use listener hours or active listeners, has been expected for years. It's expected as a general function of the broad business Pandora runs in. But it's also expected by Pandora's own admission. This is where Seeking Alpha is culpable. Any good editor would have directed this "writer" to do a search for the Pandora ticker (it's 'P') at the very Web site he writes for. He would have, after about a minute and a half of searching, come across the articles I cited in this week's Pandora: The Definitive Look Back and Look Ahead. These linked articles, published at Seeking Alpha, explicitly state -- in my own words and in the words of Pandora's CFO in 2012 -- that Pandora would see growth moderate. Anybody who has even studied the dynamics of Pandora's business understands this. It's not the shocking relevation "Quoth the Raven" makes it out to be. It's not something Pandora has been hiding from us and does not want us to see. There's absolutely zero smoke and mirrors here. As transparent as can be, Pandora has been anticipating and preparing for moderation in growth for years. Certainly longer than this person has been producing hack journalism for a once-respected Web site. And, like the good business it is, Pandora has clear-headed ideas on how its business will play out.

17 April, International Day of Peasant's Struggle
(Jakarta, April 16 2009) Farmers' and peasants' organisations, landless workers, rural women and youth are mobilising on April 17th for the International Day of Peasant's Struggle (1). This year, up to 100 actions including demonstrations, street theater, video screenings, direct action, conferences, art shows, local food markets, publications and exchanges... are being organised by the international farmers' movement Via Campesina, its friends and allies (2).In Brazil land occupations have already taken place in more than 8 States to demand the settlement of 100,000 families from the landless movement (MST) and to denounce growing unemployment caused by the agro-industry and the economic crisis. In the Spanish State, several groups are organising about 20 events, including a series of protests against GMOs culminating in a mass demonstration in Zaragoza (¡no quiero trangénicos!).

21 days to stop the ratification of the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 15 April 2009 07:17
Ignoring criticism by numerous organizations, the Harper government began the process of ratification of the Canada-Colombia Free Trade Agreement in spite of incessant violence and serious human rights violations in Colombia.
On March 26, the Harper government presented the CC-FTA in the House of Commons to begin the process of ratification, at the same time as it presented the Law. Canadian representatives have 21 days to open a debate that could stop the ratification.
SOS-Colombia calls a mobilization to demonstrate to the Canadian government that we do not want to be accomplices to the regime of terror that exists in Colombia in the name of the economy!

Media Advisory / La Via Campesina – AIAB
(Brussels/Rome April 15, 2009) La Via Campesina will be mobilising against the meeting of the Agricultural ministers of the G8 in Treviso in Italy from the 17th to 20th of April. The G8, as well as representatives of China, India, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and Egypt will be meeting to discuss "technical" issues related to hunger and the food crisis internationally.
La Via Campesina is an International movemnent of peasant farmers with more than 200 million members worldwide, many of whom have been victims of the neo-liberal policies promoted by the G8 in the past. With the financial crisis these policies have been shown to be inefficient, and neo-liberalism to be an ideology which has failed to alleviate hunger and protect the rights of peasants across the globe.

The consistently lowest paying firm is URS Corporation Inc., where the median salary is just $67K. There isn't much variation there, either; the pay scale ranges only from $57K to $101K.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Structural Engineers with STAAD skills with a lot of experience tend to enjoy higher earnings. Salaries for inexperienced workers average out to $75K, and those with five to 10 years' experience earn a higher median of $62K. For Structural Engineers with STAAD skills, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $90K. Respondents who claim more than 20 years of experience may encounter pay that doesn't quite reflect their extensive experience; these veterans report a median income of around $102K.

Goose Creek police on Wednesday charged a daycare provider accused of beating a child with a belt.
Elona Colette Crawford, 38, of Ceaton Court in Goose Creek, was charged with third-degree assault and battery in connection with the incident, police said.
A woman went to police after her 6-year-old son told her that Crawford, who often goes by "Ms. Colette," beat him while he was staying at Just For Kids Daycare Facility, 107 St. James Avenue, an incident report states.
While giving her son a bath on Oct. 1, the woman asked the boy to put his arms up and turn around. According to the report, he responded by asking, "Just like Ms. Colette?"
The woman asked her son what he meant, and he recalled Crawford beating him on the bottom with a belt, police said.
The boy's mother questioned Crawford about the incident, but Crawford denied the accusations, the report states.
Crawford later called the boy's mother saying she wanted to further explain the situation, police said.
Crawford told the woman she sometimes makes her own children, who are also in the class, open their hands so that she can pop them three times as punishment, the report states.
She explained the boy may have gotten confused after watching her punish another child that way, the report states.
The boy's mother told police she decided not to return her son to the facility out of concern for his safety.
Crawford turned herself in to authorities this morning for a scheduled bond hearing, Capt. John Grainger said. She was later released on a $1,092.50 personal recognizance bond, he said.

I know vengeance is the Lord's, and I am trying hard to let him be my avenger in this but want so bad to retaliate! He doesn't need to be in the position he is in at his job and needs to be removed! Pray the Lord will at least remove him before more damage is done! Pray also for the other party to have their eyes opened and get him out of her life before more damage is done there as well! It's a big mess!

aiga/ny 30th anniversary poster-ivan chermayeff
- the story
Ivan Chermayeff
How do some of New York City's biggest graphic designers say "happy birthday?" Why, with an oversized card, of course!
2012 marks the 30th anniversary of the New York chapter of the American Institute of Graphic Arts (AIGA), the nation's premier professional design organization. To celebrate, this long-standing force behind the Big Apple's design scene asked 30 design luminaries to capture their experience with AIGA/NY in the form of a limited edition poster.
Ivan Chermayeff, Principal of Chermayeff & Geismar, honors the organization with a colorful stack of bubbly, block letters in his distinctly bold style. While also an accomplished painter and illustrator, Chermayeff is perhaps best known for his iconic logos, namely the NBC, Mobil, Merck, Armani Exchange, Smithsonian Institution, PBS, Showtime, NYU, Barneys New York, Chase Bank, National Geographic, and Univision. Made in New York City.

The post 5 Favourite Montreal Maple Treats appeared first on Tourisme Montréal Blog.
]]>The post SUGAR SHACKS IN AND AROUND MONTREAL appeared first on Tourisme Montréal Blog.
]]>While not marketed as all-you-can-eat, sugar shack menus usually are – in fact, they're almost always more-than-you-can-eat. The traditional menu includes ham, pancakes, pea soup, omelettes, sausages, potatoes, baked beans, tortière (meat pie), sugar pie, and maple syrup over everything, but restaurants that have been getting into the sugary seasonal game have concocted all kinds of variations of the traditional.
A good bet is La Cabane, located right on the river in the Old Port of Montreal for the fourth year in a row, this year a temporary locale for Portuguese chef Helena Loureiro, who's cooked up a menu that mixes modern with traditional, from cod fritters to potage.
At this time of year, many Montreal restaurants add some sugaring-off season dishes to their menu. Throughout April, Hotel Nelligan, located in a beautiful building that features a terrasse overlooking Old Montreal, creates a unique urban sugar shack environment and delicious dishes. And the neighbourhood of Verdun, along with some of its top restaurants, gets into the maple-syrup spirit March 23-24 with their L'Érablière Wellington, which turns Place Wellington into a maple grove and features sugar shack food that brings together the culinary talents of great chefs in the area.
The whole family can learn about where maple syrup comes from while also getting to try out the candied delicacy that is boiled maple syrup on snow at the Montreal Botanical Gardens until April 26. And for more outdoor activities, go to park Cap St-Jacques in the west end of the island of Montreal, where between visiting the organic farm (farm animals included!) and walking or cross-country skiing through the forest, take a tractor-carriage ride down to the humble, cosy Cap St-Jacques sugar shack to fill up on pea soup, ham, crepes and maple syrup taffy on snow (on weekends only).
Hundreds of sugar shacks can be found within 30 minutes of the city, on the way to the Laurentian mountains or the Eastern Townships and Montérégie: to name just a few, Chalet des Érables features a train, a petting zoo and more activities; Cabane à sucre Bouvrette in St-Jerome also has a train and traditional dancing; and Érablière Charbonneau in Mont St-Bruno and Érablière au Sous-Bois in Mont St. Grégoire both have live music, farm animals, walks through the woods and more, or go a little further out to Sucrerie de la Montagne for their Sugaring Off Feast. Sugar shacks are plentiful all across Quebec – consult Cabane à Sucre du Québec and La Route des Sucres for extensive lists in each of the province's regions.

]]>The post URBAN SUGAR SHACK LA CABANE RETURNS TO OLD MONTREAL appeared first on Tourisme Montréal Blog.
]]>The space has been transformed into a sugar shack with a happy mix of traditional and modern elements complete with bouquets of macramé lampshades and folkloric Quebec music.
Every year, La Cabane invites one of the city's top chefs to create a menu inspired by traditional maple classics. This year, Portuguese chef Helena Loureiro is at the helm of this sweet project with her creative take on cabane à sucre dishes. Chef Loureiro has added a Portuguese twist to all courses, from the cod fritter appetizer to the bean and chorizo stew and all the way to the maple pasteis de nata pastries.
The sardine escabeche drowning in olive oil and apple cider was definitely one of my favourites of the night. So were the flaky and luscious maple natas, a big hit all around, so make sure you leave room for those.
Chef Loureiro is joined by internationally renowned and award-winning chocolate maker Christophe Morel who has concocted a couple of desserts for La Cabane. His take on the maple tart is a delicate and delicious creation with fine shards of white chocolate and gold leaf.
Sitting there enjoying a maple-drowned menu at La Cabane, music blaring, laughter all around, one almost forgets that this traditional fun event is only a metro stop away, right in the heat of Old Montreal.
