Stating that Coal India Limited (CIL) is likely to miss the production target for the October-December period, CIL chairman, S. Narsing Rao on Monday said the festival period and destruction caused by cyclone 'Nilam' had impacted mining activity and coal production.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of the Coal India summit in New Delhi, Mr. Rao said the month of October was extremely good. However, November has not been so great due to Nilam which caused lot of destruction and then came the festivals which had an impact on the coal production. "Today, we are not as comfortable as we would like to be," he added.
CIL had set a production target of 125 million tonnes for October-December quarter of the present fiscal. During the April-October period, CIL's production grew by nine per cent at 208.3 million tonnes over the same period last year. CIL has set a target to produce 464 million tonnes production for the current fiscal. Last fiscal, it had produced 435.84 MT and had drawn up an elaborate plans to reach a production of 615 MT level by 2016-17.
Meanwhile, asked about the possibility of meeting the November-end deadline for inking the fuel supply agreement (FSA) with power firms, Mr. Rao said that the onus is on the power firms and not on CIL. "You have to ask them who wants to sign the contract. We have kept the final approved version open on the website since October 13," he remarked.
Mr. Rao said the company had started exploration in a coal block in Mozambique twelve days ago and this would likely to be completed by the end of next year.
The FSAs have once again run into controversy with the Power Ministry conveying to the Coal Ministry objections to certain clauses which were against the interests of the power producers. The Prime Ministers Office (PMO), which is monitoring the whole issue, has a set a deadline of November 30 for signing of FSAs.

We're on to you. We've noticed you casting a roving eye over recent announcements of price cuts, seen you ogle the unveiling of lithe younger models. Yes, even you, 360 fanboy, the one who said the PS3 had no games. We caught you looking longingly at LittleBigPlanet's Sackboy, imagining the things you would do to him if only you could get him online. And you there, PS3 fanboy, the one that wrote 'Killzon 2 iz teh sex, Halo iz teh suxxor!!2!' on forums. We've seen you watching Halo 3 multiplayer matches on YouTube late at night, pretending it was you holding that plasma pistol, firing shot after shot at the red team.
Yes, you're filthy. You're nasty. You're one of us. Y'see luckily for you, we're corrupt-minded libertines, who've spent our lives jumping from one console to the next, sometimes without even washing our hands. So we've done you a favour – we've prepared every salacious, scandalous detail about the console you said you'd never turn to. Go on, it's all right to look – eyeball those exclusive games as we analyse what's hot and what's not about each of the major platforms. We won't tell anyone…
Now slimmer, sexier, and a smidgen of the original price… hurrah!
The Key Exclusives
Killzone 2
Sure, your relationship with your Xbox 360 has delivered Halo 3 and Gears 2, but any true shooter fan won't be satisfied until they've played the best out there. This is one of them. Why it's worth straying for: Gorgeous, labyrinthine maps and a 32-player cap make Killzone 2 multiplayer unlike anything the 360 offers.
Xbox 360 owners can claim to have an answer for every PS3 title. Not this plucky little platformer. LittleBigPlanet oozes charm and encourages creativity in a way that no 360 exclusive can compare to. Why it's worth straying for: In short, the limitless, level-moulding potential of this landmark title. If you and your friends ever tire of it, you're tired of life.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
The capstone in Hideo Kojima's epic espionage series, MGS4 is an incredible technical achievement, and reason enough for millions to purchase a PS3 upon the game's release. Why it's worth straying for: The story. MGS4 isn't just the best-written game of the series – bringing Snake's story to a sweeping, satisfying conclusion – the quality of characterization, dialogue and story are unmatched by anything this generation.
Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time
Insomniac's long serving cartoon duo return in their ultimate adventure. It's a sprawling quest that combines open-galaxy exploration, blasting and some brain-bending puzzles. Why it's worth straying for: This time Ratchet and Clank are divided – it's a brave move that allows the gameplay's component parts to develop beautifully. Magnificent.
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
If you want to experience the pinnacle of quality for third-person action adventures, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves is the place to go. Why it's worth straying for: As an amalgamation of Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider, It may not be the last word in innovation or original ideas, but for visually stunning blockbuster gaming, Nathan Drake's mission to Shangri-La is top drawer.
Future Exclusives

Too many phones just out, about to come out - I can't follow all the specs, so looking for advice NOW or WAIT A LITTLE>
WAIT.....nothing really worth upgrading to right now. Unless you really like the bionic. Its a great phone. But better phones are coming. HTC Vigor = tons of dev support, and the droid prime and all of its awesomeness. Im waiting for the Vigor. That Will be my next phone!!!!!!!!!!!! dancedroid
Its really hard for someone to give you advice, just wait and go to stores and play with the phones, at the end of the day your the one who pays, and what someone on here loves about a phone you may hate, so just explore your options at a vzw store, or best buy... that way you'll be happy about your choice, and not unhappy with someones suggestions Sent from my DROID X2 using DroidForums
way to dig this up... my next phone wont be a Motorola. not because the bionic but because they're fools Sent from my DROID BIONIC using DroidForums
I would wait, since you have a HUGE update dropping in the coming weeks. Ice Cream Sandwich will bring a whole new game to the phones coming out, and it looks like the nexus is just one of many to come that will make our current phones look like little toys in comparison. HTC is supposed to have a big one coming out, maybe the vigor I think, and then there's the droid prime, and then there's the phones that haven't even been announced, that will be coming up right after the new year. Sent from my Banana Phone
My answer would be.. it ain't out yet. Dunno. I am pretty darn happy with my Bionic. It does everything I want it to do and more and it does it well. I got a year for NE2 but ive never been one to wait for that. The Nexus Prime looks tempting to me but.. Devs for the Bionic have made it as close to AOSP as possible so I cant complain.
Finally happy to hear Bionic owners not letting the newer devices get them down, the bionic can do all they can do just as fast and brilliantly enough.. Looks great as well...peace! The bionic is an awesome device! Tapped by the Droid Drummer! Cyanogen Hunger--------Peace---------->>>
Probably a used, radio and GSM unlocked D3 if I can get one for sub $150. Global-capable or bust. Plenty of customisation can be had out of CM if it's supported down the road.
Awesome! Isn't the D3 dual core and front face camera? Tapped by the Droid Drummer! Cyanogen Hunger--------Peace---------->>>

The Pretenders of the AFC South
In early January of this year the Colts were eliminated 23-17 in the wildcard weekend by the San Diego Chargers. The loss came as a surprise as the Colts had won nine straight contests heading into the playoffs. On the other hand, the Tennessee Titans despite having the best record in the NFL were eliminated a week later. Will these same two teams make the playoffs this year? |

Could be a metaphor for the notion that the insular, suspicious South would rather evict -- exterminate -- a stranger or outsider than risk being contaminated by alien, progressive ideas.
Audience Reviews for The Evictors
Once in a while there comes an obscured gem that is truly an exciting and thrilling horror experience. The Evictors is such a gem, this is a well acted and directed horror yarn that is a must see for genre fans. This is a film that relies on the basics to tell a good story and it works. The cast is great as well and comprises underrated actor Michael Parks and actress Jessica Harper. This is a creepy an intense movie that is sure to satisfy fans who love obscured horror films. The film relies on atmosphere to set the tone of the film and it successfully builds up tension and dread in the viewer. Films like this are a rare commodity and deserve to see the light of day. The direction by director Charles B. Pierce is great, and can craft a terrific horror picture that is genuinely unnerving. The film at times could have been better, but it relies on a good cast to elevate the story and brings on the tension that fans are looking for in a traditional horror film. Films like this are far better than most films in the genre. This is a well acted, directed and told horror picture that goes for basic chills rather elaborate and poorly thought out sequences that simply don't work. The Evictors is a worthy addition to the genre and one that is a must see for horror fans looking for a well acted and genuinely eerie film. The Evictors is entertaining from start to finish and it is one of the best obscured titles that I have seen in quite some time. If you come across this one, give it a shot, you will be surprised at how good it is.

The Evictors is another film from Charles B. Pierce, the man responsible for the very silly film The Town That Dreaded Sundown. I found nothing scary whatsoever about that particular film, but The Evictors, thankfully, is a different affair altogether. It's more of a psychological thriller than a horror film, and contains a twist that I managed to pick up on early in the story. It didn't spoil the film for me though. What I found refreshing about it was that when the terrible things begin to happen to Ruth, played by Jessica Harper, that her husband doesn't treat her like she's crazy. He does what a real husband would do: protect his wife and help her to protect herself. The film's plot plays upon the notion that this old house that they have moved into is cursed, and that everyone who has ever lived in it has met some terrible end. It's not the most effective film in the world, but it does generate enough atmosphere for chills. If you can manage to find yourself a copy (it's out of print, as of this writing) then check it out. Definitely a crowd pleaser.

The Evictors, like Charles B. Pierce's other efforts (The Legend of Boggy Creek and The Town That Dreaded Sundown) is a spooky story based on actual events. This story centers around a house with a violent past. That past, however, does not stay dead. Instead it comes back to terrify any new occupants seeking to live in that same house. There are fine performances, some truly spooky scenes, and several twists towards its conclusion to keep the viewer entertained. Fans of this film should definitely seek out Pierce's other titles mentioned above. Happy Hunting!

Man United eye 25m Chiellini but agent is also talking to City and Spurs
Star man: Giorgio Chiellini Manchester United and neighbours City are both courting Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini. The Italy international's agent was at the thrilling Carling Cup semi-final first leg on Tuesday night, revealing that both clubs had invited him to the match. The agent, Davide Lippi, stayed in England after the match for talks with Tottenham Hotspur, though he did not say whether Chiellini was the subject of talks with the north London club. Lippi insisted a deal was not imminent for the 25-year-old but respected Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport suggest United are making strong moves as they seek a long-term replacement for Nemanja Vidic. Chiellini is highly prized and a bid in excess of £25million may be needed to prise him from Juventus. Speaking of the visit to Eastlands for City's 2-1 win, Lippi insisted: 'I was there but it was absolutely a courtesy visit. 'I was invited by the two clubs and I was pleased to see a good match. The market is open all year, talking with everyone and everything, not just Chiellini. 'A real interest? It is normal when we talk about a very important player like Chiellini, but there is no news. No way through: Chiellini tackles AC Milan star Andrea Pirlo 'There are many players that may interest Manchester City or United, today I was talking to the leaders of Tottenham.' Meanwhile, former United striker Giuseppe Rossi is hoping to clinch a move to Italy at the end of the season. On the move: Giuseppe Rossi Sir Alex Ferguson has first refusal on the 22-year-old as part of the £6.6million deal which took him to Villarreal two-and-a-half years ago. But the American-born Italy international's agent indicates that Rossi would rather return to Serie A than consider a move back to Old Trafford. Rossi is a regular at Spanish side Villarreal, but misses his homeland, where he started his career with Parma. The agent, Andrea Pastorello, said: 'Giuseppe has adapted to Spanish life very well, but it is clear that he would prefer to come back to Italy at the end of the season. 'There is a World Cup to also contend with, and barring any surprises, he will go to South Africa, and we shall see what happens after that. 'With the economic crisis gripping Italian clubs, there are a few teams that could go after him and acquire him. 'Inter, Juventus, AC Milan or even Napoli, who have demonstrated that they can make good investments, could also go after him.' United have invited Norwegian youngster Even Hovland for a second trial. The 20-year-old Sogndal defender impressed Ferguson during his initial two-week spell in December and is set to undergo a medical at the Red Devils this time around. Sogndal director Egil Mundal said: 'Even has been offered a new trial for a few days. Of course, we gave him permission to do that. We haven't received a serious offer for him yet though.'

The interactive effects of sales control systems on salesperson performance: a job demands–resources perspective

Sales control systems represent an important managerial tool in directing the sales force for desired organizational objectives. However, the majority of prior sales control research has focused only on the main effects of sales control systems without explicitly considering their interactive effects and associated intervening mechanisms. Drawing on job demands–resources theory, the authors theorize differential interactive effects of outcome control, activity control, and capability control on job engagement (i.e., adaptive selling behavior and selling effort) and job stress (i.e., role ambiguity and role conflict), which subsequently affect salesperson performance. Empirical results using a sample of industrial salespeople find that (1) outcome control and capability control have positive interactive effects on adaptive selling behavior and selling effort while suppressing role conflict, (2) activity control and capability control have a negative interactive effect on role ambiguity, and (3) outcome control and activity control have a positive interactive effect on selling effort but negative interactive effects on adaptive selling behavior and role clarity. These results indicate that sales control researchers can benefit from considering the complex interactive effects of various control styles as well as the intervening processes, which provide a more refined understanding of this important managerial tool.

Driving east on Higgins through Dundee, turn left onto Sleepy Hollow Road and be careful not to miss the hidden driveway immediately on your left. It leads to the Schweitzer Woods Dog Park – and boy am I glad to have found it!
Five acres of both a fully mowed and a wooded area ensured that my dog agrees. An hour of mental stimulation and physical excercise at the Kane County Forest Preserve's dog park and he is content to quietly nap away the rest of the day.
The unusual benefit this park offers is that there are not one, but two fully fenced enclosures. The smaller of the two is completely mowed, has two trees, and is usually empty - especially if you go while it is raining. It's a great training ground that lets you practice the recall and other commands before unleashing your pup onto the dog pack in the larger enclosure.
If you just got a puppy or rescued an adult dog, you can also use the smaller enclosure to test Fido's reactions to other dogs before allowing full access into the larger area. Just remember that some dogs exhibit what can seem like aggressive behaviors through a fence, but do completely fine once there is no barrier between them and their potential playmates. As your dog's leader, you must consciously stay relaxed to signal that there is no problem and watch his body language to determine if he is just frustrated at being seperated from the other dogs or if he is actually looking for a fight. Dogs will wrestle, bark and even bite each other lightly all in good fun; but if their bodies stiffen and their hair shoots up as they stare each other down, that means trouble and you should separate them immediately.
Once you have graduated to the larger enclosure, there is plenty of room for doggie play. The wooded area has many mowed pathways, allowing you to wander around with your dog and even play a game of hide and seek.
Be careful, as the high level of use many of the pathways receive has worn away the grass and left them muddy and slippery. If you need a break, there are picnic tables and lawn chairs aplenty. Bring some fresh water for you pup (bowls are available on location), but don't have too much to drink yourself. While there is ample room for your dog to do his business, and bags are usually on hand if pickup is necessary, no people-bathrooms are available in the vicinity - yet.
I encourage you to take your best bud and check out the park (for a preview, watch this You Tube video). There is a special kind of joy that radiates off a dog that gets the chance to run free as fast as his feet will take him, until he becomes a little dot in the distance. And there is a big smile on the owner when the dog turns around and runs back just as quickly.

Crime Alert Update
On the evening of March 2, 2015, an armed robbery was reported to the VCU Police Department as having occurred at 515 N. 13th Street, the D-Deck parking facility on the MCV Campus. VCU Police detectives following up on the investigation today spoke with the individual who reported the crime, reviewed security camera footage from the parking deck and determined that the incident was fabricated. A robbery did not occur on March 2 in the D-Deck as previously communicated in mass e-mails to the VCU and VCU Health System communities and posted on the university's alert page, alert.vcu.edu.
VCU Police continue to investigate this matter and a criminal charge for giving a false report to police is pending.

The Fight to Provide You Internet in the Skies 17. September 2010 George Page News (0) Places on this planet where you cannot get an internet signal are becoming rare. However, you can still find yourself unable to check email or Facebook while flying between internet imbued destinations. The reigning king of wireless in the skies has been GoGo Inflight Internet, but Southwest Airlines internet provider Row 44 plans to downgrade GoGo's seat. Row 44 secured $37 million in funding to expand their service to other airlines, possibly ones that are currently customers of GoGo. The primary advantage Row 44 will bring to the table is not how passengers will get their internet, but how the internet will get to the plane. Most airline internet providers--including GoGo--use ground-based antennae to bounce the internet into passing planes. Row 44 will use its new capital to lease more time on Hughes Network satellites. Not tethered to the ground, Row 44 will be able to beam internet access to any flight, even while over oceans.
Social Media Gets Turned Off 17. September 2010 Maranda Gibson Business Communications, News (0) If you're a student at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, then you are unaware that your Facebook friends have harvested plants, gotten into Mafia battles, and checked in at the local grocery store. The university has blacked out social media sites for the last week. The experiment began on Monday as a way for students to begin seriously considering the way they spend their time on the Internet. It was recently reported that the average user in the US spends more time on Facebook than on Google. Eric Darr said the experiment is not a punishment for students, but the hope is that their university students will seriously consider the way they are using their time. Darr also added that he can't believe that this week has caused such controversy on Twitter, Facebook, and even late night talk shows. Some have gone as far to accuse the school of infringing on people's rights. The hope is that the block will show students that stepping away from the computer can be a good thing for their overall grades and class attendance. Even Mashable is interested to see if the school reports any increase in attendance, but Adam Ostrow adds that he doesn't think the blackout is feasible in the long term. "You really can't disconnect people from it in the long run without creating some real inefficiencies and backlash." Students can still check via their smart phones and Darr is okay with that. "I want an honest reaction to the experiment." The reaction has ranged anywhere from a typical "eh-whatever" college student reaction to those who are finding it difficult to coordinate their social activities without access to Facebook and Twitter. While the blackout won't last forever, it does open up some interesting questions, like what is the time we spend on social media sites taking away from? Are we slaves to social networks? I've only recently started to make myself "go offline" for one hour a day, and frankly, towards the end of that hour, I'm really excited about checking out the latest status updates or Twitter postings. As far as a university goes, maybe if they attendance increases while social networks are down, it could be something that any school might consider shutting down during critical weeks like finals week. The next question I would ask would be when it became a university's responsibility to teach you how to manage your time and be a dedicated student. No matter what universities decide to do, the social blackout has caused controversy and stirred debate about how we manage our time on social networks, and how this time affects our daily activities.
Opening Salvos from Providers of Location-Based Apps 16. September 2010 George Page News (0) It took a little time for businesses to realize the opportunities of using Twitter and quite some time passed before Facebook became a powerhouse, but it seems like smartphones and their location-based, GPS apps were recognized for their potential as soon as they came out the gate. And yesterday, Skyhook Wireless opened fire on Google for allegedly interfering with Skyhook's sales contracts, as well as infringing on at least four patents vital to its checkin or location-finding software. According to the lawsuit filed Wednesday, Skyhook claims Google contacted its customers, namely Motorola, saying that in order to make and sell the Google Android smartphone the manufacturers had to use Google's location service and not Skyhook's XPS program. Skyhook said XPS had previously completed Google's approval process. Part of the vitriol behind this and similar struggles stem from the still developing location/mobile advertising market. Controlling location data, checkin-style advertising, and other future uses of GPS smartphones is a huge opportunity now, even in the beginning stages. And it appears to be only getting bigger.
Drunken Pilots Spark Concern Among Airlines 16. September 2010 Chilton Tippin News (0) A Delta pilot who was arrested just before takeoff in Amsterdam on Monday for being drunk has underscored an issue that appears more frequently than most travelers imagined. According to USA Today, US pilots who blow over the legal limit for flying (.04 percent) crop up one time a month on average. The FAA data shows that 12 commercial pilots, out of the 11,000 tested yearly, are found to violate the FAA standard each year. The legal limit for driving is .08 percent in most states, and the airlines have become more rigid about legal limits for pilots, setting the limit at .04 percent after a few high-profile cases in the 90's. The most notorious case occurred in 1990 when three Northwest Airlines crew members, including the pilot, tested positive for alcohol after landing a commercial airliner in Minneapolis. The pilot blew over .10 percent. Elaine Weinstein, former head of safety recommendations at the National Transportation Safety Board, told USA Today that she felt there should be a zero tolerance rule for alcohol and drug use by pilots. "If a pilot is drinking before he flies, it raises the question in my mind about whether this person has a substance abuse problem," Weinstein told USA Today. In order to keep pilots from consuming alcohol before flying the FAA conducts unannounced tests and trains flight attendants and co-pilots to disallow any drunk captain from get behind the controls. Delta issued a statement concerning the pilot in Amsterdam, explaining that the flight was cancelled because the pilot appeared "unfit for duty." He was called in by a suspicious crew member. The passengers of the flight were put up in hotels near the airport and flew out the next day.
Rural Phone Companies Fight for Universal Service Fund 15. September 2010 Maranda Gibson News (0) On Thursday, the House Communications Subcommittee will begin considerations about a bill to overhaul the Universal Service Fund. For years, the USF has subsidized rural and high cost telephone service by charging end users a percentage fee on their bills. In O ctober of 2008, these fees also began appearing on previously exem pt conference call service bills. The Communications Subcommittee will consider both releasing more funds towards broadband services, as well as capping the service. Broadband service providers welcome the changes, as technology is shifting away from "standard phone service" and the FCC as put the funding changes forward as part of the National Broadband Plan. Rural phone providers are preparing testimony that warns that rural areas will end up being underfunded for service that is still considered "critical to overcome the economic challenges of deploying communication networks." This comes from Shirley Bloomfield of the National Telecommunications Cooperative Association. With movements like dropping the plan to provide national broadband and the C-Seeks-Tighter-Broadband-Oversight.aspx">FCC requesting greater broadband oversight, it comes as no surprise that the broadband providers would be the ones in favor of the new legislation.
FTC Continued Focus on Online Privacy 15. September 2010 Maranda Gibson News (0) The FTC has announced a plan to adopt new education and data collection restrictions to better protect the consumer's privacy. Senior attorney for the FTC, Loretta Garrison, admitted that consumers "..sort of know they are being tracked, but they don't really understand the weather of information that's being collected…" What this means for consumers is that there's a common sense element to knowing that our movements online are being tracked, but we don't realize just how much information is being collected. The FTC is sensitive to the members of Internet companies who fear that greater restrictions will limit them in a marketing sector that is rapidly growing. At the same time, the FTC feels like there should be a base of privacy protection should be available to consumers, similar to the "do-not-call" registry in place for telemarketers. Garrison also added, "There ought to be an element where if they don't want to be tracked, they ought to be able to say 'no.'." This fall, the FTC is planning to release a report of recommendations for companies and advertisers and web companies to provide specific concerns over certain practices and offer suggestions to protect their user's privacy. These guidelines will be an extension of their "self-regulation" policies, since without a Congressional act; the FTC cannot "force" companies to abide by these sorts of changes. The concerns are spurned from recent concerns about privacy over Google street view and some of Facebook's recent policy changes, prompting the FTC to express concerns about consumer's online privacy. While an "opt in" or "opt out" suggestion may not be feasible, due to the nature of online marketing, the FTC has raised concerns about how much is being collected from consumers as they browse their favorite web sites.
FCC to Open Wireless Across TV Spectrum 13. September 2010 Chilton Tippin News (0) The F.C.C. will vote on Sept. 23 to make wireless Internet service available over airwaves, unlocking the potential of "Wi-Fi on steroids." If approved, the move will allow the white space portion of television broadcast spectrum to be used for wireless networks, which will do away with the need to find a wireless hot spot and will open the door to super powerful Wi-Fi networks. The move will likely pave the way for a new suite of enhanced Wi-Fi devices capable of passing through walls and transmitting data over much greater distances than current technology. The stronger signals will bring wireless to rural areas, minimize dead zones, and help connect vast corporate campuses, hospitals and the like. Furthermore, the FCC is doing away with the traditional practice of auctioning off the spectrum for revenues. The whitespace spectrum will be available without a license and for anyone to grab. The unused bands of television spectrum have been languishing all this time, but now, given the approval by the F.C.C. this month, start-up companies that have traditionally been unable to afford spectrum will be able to compete. The idea is not without issue: broadcasters fear the new use of signals will interfere with their transmissions, and industries using microphones, such as theaters, stadiums and churches have objected to similar decisions in the past for fear of microphone interference. The F.C.C. tried to skirt these problems in the past by requiring new devices to include a feature that electronically searches for airwaves that are unoccupied. This failed to reconcile the problem, however, because the feature and the increased engineering intensity would have made devices more expensive. As of the time of this writing, there is uncertainty regarding exactly how the F.C.C. plans to cope with the problem of interference, but analysts speculate that wireless microphones and broadcasts will be given certain transmission priorities. According to CNET, the F.C.C. has mapped TV channels and major wireless microphone usage areas such as Broadway, and will require the devices using the white space to be configured around the frequencies of the mapped areas. Still, this posits the same problem as the previous ruling: developers may be unwilling to foot the hefty bill. Nonetheless, Wi-Fi on steroids appears to be just around the corner as the F.C.C. seems poised on an affirmative vote. Early next year, certain Wi-Fi hotspots will be able to range for miles rather than half a football field.
Telecom Industry Outlook: Proliferation and Innovation 10. September 2010 Chilton Tippin News (0) While the world economy lurches through an economic recovery that economists are now saying will take longer than predicted, the telecom industry is forecasted to be a flotation device, one of the major industries driving economic resurgence. According to an analysis by TMC Net, overall dynamics seem to be shifting in favor of telecom, primarily due to it being needed both in developed and underdeveloped nations. Another reason the telecom industry is predicted to be a boon is because of its sheer size. "The telecommunications industry encompasses a lot of technology-related businesses. Besides the legacy local and long-distance wireline phone services, telecommunications also include wireless communications, Internet services, fiber optics networks, cable TV networks and commercial satellite communications," reads the TMC Analysis. The telecom industry remains buoyant for two reasons: a generally improving overall global economy, and the speed with which technological inventions are churned out, making even saturated markets profitable. A clear example of the machinery allowing the telecom industry such flexibility amid hard times can be viewed in China. Since increased connectivity is an investment toward prosperity in the future, China devoted $586 million in government pump spending to telecommunications infrastructure. In doing so, China has grown its mobile supplier base to nearly 800 million—the majority of these subscribers coming during the recession. On the other end, the US, which is nearly 90 percent saturated, remains a profitable market because of the continuous network product upgrades and invention by the industry players. And the developing world isn't far behind. China began to deploy its own 3G network this year, opening up a market opportunity of more than $10 billion for several telecom companies, from wireless providers to equipment suppliers. As the world becomes more connected, the market becomes more saturated; therefore, the revenue stream of garnering new subscribers begins to dry up. However, the perpetual cycle of progress, spurred on my competition and inventiveness foretells a continuously robust future for telecom. Soon, companies will be putting forth 4G networks, data downloading will completely supplant voice calls for revenue generation, and smartphones will become more ubiquitous than the already old-fashioned feature phone. What's next? Who Knows? The only thing that appears certain is telecoms continued prevalence.
Facebooking beats Googling as Internet Pastime 10. September 2010 Maranda Gibson News (0) A recent ComScore study has found that Facebook has surpassed Google as the place to be. While Google gets the most overall hits, the users do not spend as much time on Google sites (YouTube and Google News included) users are navigating to and spending their time on Facebook. Since social media is a growing trend in the way we communicate with friends, family, and even our customers, Facebook has found a way to not only get users to their website, but to make them want to stay. With the addition of Facebook Places in August, Facebook users can check into locations, feed their status updates to Twitter, and instant message other Facebook friends. Regardless of your opinions on Facebook privacy practices, they have put everything into one place. Facebook has the numbers to prove it. In August alone, Facebook reported 41.1 million minutes of logged in user activity and the closet competitor is Google, who captured 9.6% of total time. For businesses and companies who have been considering using Facebook to connect, it means that your customers are on Facebook, and parking there for a while. I'm curious to see if the Google number will be lower next month due to the release of instant search, which was, as Google stated, to shorten the length of time it took for you to get where you want to be. Since, apparently, users want to be on Facebook, I wonder how Google will feel about that.
Email Attack Causes Chaos 10. September 2010 Maranda Gibson News (0) This morning, there was an email from my IT department warning me not to click on any PDF links and directing me to this ABC News story. A global virus attack was launched yesterday afternoon affecting the likes of Disney, NASA, and even ABC themselves. Here's how it works: You get an email with the subject "Here you have" and when you open it up there's a short email about the "document you requested" and the PDF link to access it. Once you click on the link, the Trojan virus takes over your computer and sends out the email to all the people in your contact list. The tricky part is that the email would come from you. Everyone knows not to open emails that are from someone you don't know, but this sets up a new problem where you have to be careful even if you know who the email sender is. Last week, Secretary-General of the United Nations warned that these kinds of attacks could be the new form of war. Hamadoun Touré has urged that cyber security vulnerabilities could be the new wave of attacks, opening up a whole new kind of war. The Department of Homeland Security and the US Emergency Response Team are looking into the problem, and Adobe has released a statement citing a "critical vulnerability" existing in Adobe Reader 9.3.4. Here are some things you can do to add a little extra security in your email until this whole mess can be resolved: If you did not "request" a PDF link, don't open a PDF link. If you don't feel 100% certain about opening an email, don't open it. Find the person it was supposedly sent from or send them a new email asking if they truly meant to send you something like this. If you think anything is suspicious, go ahead and delete it right away. It's best not to risk it. This email has spread like crazy through inboxes around the world, infiltrating even government inboxes and accounts. Until Adobe can fix the errors, use caution when opening any email – because now that the people who sent it out know the security vulnerability is there, you better believe they will continue to exploit it until there is a fix.

Kosit Suwinijjit, independent runner No 10 in the Bangkok governor election, conceded defeat shortly after seeing an early result, still incomplete, of the poll.
Mr Kosit said Bangkok people still stuck to candidates representing political parties while he was running as an independent.
Despite the defeat, he was still firm on not running under the banner of a political party in the future.

Ashley Looking To REPLACE Pardew!!!
Newcastle are said to be considering replacing Alan Pardew with Montpellier manager Rene Girard at the end of the season.
Girard, who led Montpellier to the Ligue 1 title last year, has already confirmed he will leave the club at the end of the season and the Magpies are considering approaching him.
According to Le Sport 10, Newcastle have been recommended the 59-year-old's services and, with Alan Pardew's future far from certain, he has emerged as a leading contender for the St James' Park hot seat.
Girard has already received several offers from sides across Europe, but revealed a move to the Premier League is his priority.
'I know it won't be easy, but I want to work in England,' Girard told the BBC.

Factors other than toxicants can affect fathead minnow survival and growth and Ceriodaphnia survival and reproduction in ambient waters. Growth of minnow larvae in laboratory tests, for example, is affected by concentrations of common salts, and survival of the larvae in ambient waters from relatively pristine streams can be low and variable due to the presence of pathogenic microorganisms (Kszos et al., 1997). Ceriodaphnia reproduction is commonly greater in ambient water than in diluted mineral-water controls, due to the nutritional benefits they derive from consuming naturally occurring particulate matter, but some naturally occurring algae can be toxic (Reinikainen et al., 1994). These situations make it inadvisable to compare the results of ambient tests only with diluted mineral water controls to determine if an ambient site is toxic or nontoxic. Comparison with an appropriate suite of reference sites is critical to derive the correct answer for the correct reasons. In ambient toxicity testing, and in biological monitoring generally, one must be constantly alert to the difference between biological importance and statistical significance (Cairns and Smith, 1994; Yoccoz, 1991).
New and potentially useful ambient assessment procedures are being developed at a rapid pace; innovations in biological monitoring occur more slowly; slower still is the rate at which field-validated bioassessment methodology is being incorporated and used in a regulatory framework (see, for example, Hart, 1994). Examples of rapid progress in bioassay development can be found in both the water- and the soil-assessment arenas. A 3-day laboratory test that uses snail feeding rate to evaluate water quality appears to be about as sensitive as a 7-day Ceriodaphnia test, at least for some kinds of contaminants (R. L. Hinzman, Environmental Sciences Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, unpublished data). Procedures for estimating the toxicity of sediments with laboratory tests using invertebrates are nearing readiness for regulatory use (American Society for Testing and Materials, 1991). Methods for laboratory tests designed to estimate the toxicity of soils are being revised, calibrated, and field validated (L. F. Wicker, Environmental Sciences Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, unpublished data).
The increasing use of ecological risk assessment methodology for regulatory purposes drives the need not only for faster and more cost-effective laboratory tests, but also for data that accurately reflect exposure regimes and reveal ecological effects in the field. In situ test procedures using caged or noncaged organisms are in various stages of development and validation for terrestrial (Callahan et al., 1991; Menzie et al., 1992) and aquatic environments (Napolitano et al., 1993). Aquatic (Graney et al., 1994) and terrestrial (Gunderson et al., 1997; Parmalee et al., 1993) mesocosm studies are key to the development of in situ test

Phone comparison which is better
Signal wise looking for the best phone. Currently have a Razr Maxx. Second Motorola phone I have had and they don't seem to get as good signal as the HTC was wondering what everybody's thoughts on samsung signal quality is. concerned mainly with fringe areas.

Re: Phone comparison which is better
I have had 3 Motorola phones (last, a RAZR Maxx), 6 HTC (last, Amaze) and 6 Samsung (current, a Note 2). Samsung seems to have improved their radios quite a bit however, nothing comes close to the radios in Motorola phones IMHO. I have checked dbm's on all of my phones in different areas and the best was my Motorola Defy followed by the Motorola Charm and then the Maxx.

Re: Phone comparison which is better
As much as I love both companies, HTC, and Samsung, I truly think that HTC has stepped up and made better phones.unique designs, and using tegra graphic cards. Both signals are strong, although, that depends on Ur carrier. In the end, its just personal choice.I like natural colors, so I stick with HTC, and forget about Samsung's oversaturated colors.
Re: Phone comparison which is better
I've always found it to be more dependent on what carrier with and your location more than what phone you have. But that's just me.
