NZ government will honour Emirates Team deal
Friday 22 April 2011
Gritting its teeth and clearly unhappy, the New Zealand government has confirmed it will honour a pledge by the previous administration to support Emirates Team New Zealand's challenge for the 2013 America's Cup.
The taxpayers will stump up NZ$36m (about £17.5m) at a time when they are facing both public debt and coping with the consequences of the earthquakes, still continuing, which caused death and destruction in Christchurch. The country is also more focussed on this year's Rugby World Cup.
John Key's government had taken legal advice to see whether it could break the contract, which was drawn up after the team reached the finals of the 2007 Cup in Valencia and comes out of not the sports budget but the ministry of economic development.
The country hopes that winning back the cup it first won in San Diego in 1995 and successfully defended in Auckland in 2000 would provide another significant boost to both the regional and national economy. ETNZ, not short of good legal advice, had drawn up a watertight agreement but had delayed the announcement sufficiently to separate it from the Christchurch disaster.
Talks at ministerial level in France have so far failed to elicit government support for either of the two challenger groups announced in that country and it would have been inconceivable that the British government would have given money to the British challenge abandoned by Sir Keith Mills last autumn. The Team Origin bid was very sceptical it could even attract funding from the National Lottery, which supports sailing in the form of the Olympic squad.
The 14 challengers, some yet to be named, have until the end of the month to stump up the first payments of their performance bonds and confirm, with a deposit, orders for the AC45 catamarans which will be used for the first set of regattas.
For the Volvo round the world race, Rob Greenhalgh will join skipper Ian Walker's Abu Dhabi team, having been on ABN Amro and Puma in the two previous races. And top French sailor Thomas Coville will exchange his Sodebo shirt for a set of Groupama oilskins for the Volvo.
In Charleston, Chris Stanmore-Major coped with storm conditions 15 miles – he had to turn the boat round and run in front of the weather at one stage - from the finish of the Velux 5 Oceans leg from Punta de Este, Uruguay, taking third place.
And in Barcelona Alex Thomson's Hugo Boss, sailed by Andy Meiklejohn and Wouter Verbraak after Thomson was first hit by appendicitis and then stayed with his partner when their first child was born with a heart problem, finished the Barcelona two-handed round the world race in seventh place.

Held by Ethiopian Rebels, a British Family Needs $1 Million to Buy Its Freedom
We were just coming up a bridge and I heard a ping on the pebbles," Stephanie Tyler, 33, recalls. "I said to Lin, 'That's a bullet.' Then more bullets came. We stopped our Land-Rover. I got out and shouted, 'We have children, for God's sake! We have little children!' "
From that day, May 9, the Tylers were prisoners of the TPLF. The front, Marxist-oriented and dedicated to self-determination, is asking one million U.S. dollars from the British government for the Tylers' release.
The Foreign Office has indicated it will not pay.
Lindsay Tyler, 33, is a veterinarian who vaccinated cattle for the Ethiopian government as part of a British technical assistance program. He and his family are kept at a base camp near the Sudanese border. They live under an acacia tree and subsist on canned vegetables from China and coarse bread baked in the camp. Tyler carried a radio transmitter in his Land-Rover—a necessity in his work—and because of it, the guerrillas have charged him with spying. They confiscated his $330 binoculars (the Tylers are fanatical bird-watchers) and apparently burned his vehicle.
The captors took a liking to the Tyler children, 8-year-old Robert and 5-year-old Sally. They fitted out a special harness to keep the children in the saddle as the group moved about on camels. They also provided exercise books and crayons so that the Tylers could conduct a rudimentary sort of school each morning. Mrs. Tyler does not think the youngsters have suffered academically yet, but says, "It is becoming more and more difficult to keep their interest alive. They miss the company of other children. Robert has become shy and cries a lot."
En route to the base camp, the Tylers and their captors were attacked by the Ethiopian air force. They found one old man in a bloodstained shirt screaming in pain, his mother and three children dead beside him. The encounter left Robert terrified of the sound of a plane, while Sally apparently works out her fears with childish drawings of bombs and aircraft.
The highlight of the family's day now comes at 5 o'clock each afternoon when they are allowed to bathe in a stream with a waterfall. "You have to get into the state of mind of living here," says Lindsay, "thinking about mundane things, like do we need more wood or how long before we go to the waterfall?"
Fortunately for their survival, the Tylers are veteran campers. Stephanie awoke one night to find a hissing snake perched on her son's head and simply flicked it away. The family seems to be in good health but is depressed about the size of the ransom demands. The Tylers were once asked what luxuries of civilization they missed most. Sally said ice cream and jelly. Her parents said books, coffee and beer. Robert's yearnings ran deeper—he said simply, "Home."

i mainly play blitz because of the website projects am working on and the modelling am also doing.
I love Standard because you can think a lot. I love Bullet because you can win by time. And I love blitz because of its moderateness (or whatever you call it). I spend time on chess.com as much as I can. It depends - 1 hour to 5 hours. Anything! This is such a great place to improve your Chess skills and make new friends! Please tell others to join chess.com too!
I use the 15/10 option.
A considerable amount. Even right now at work, just load up Chess Titans and then begin loosing.
I spend at least two hours studying chess and probably another hour playing or reading forums at chess.com daily. Sometimes more.
I was spending at least 5 hours a day on my days off before. Now I only come on enough to keep my online games afloat. Maybe I'll get over the burnout when I get my premium membership back. I'm also trying to learn programming though so I probably won't have that much time anymore.
I'm running 4-6 hours everyday between studying, playing, tactics, forums,etc.
I use to spend a lot, near 3 hours a day studying and playing. Now that fall came around, I'm too busy with school, homework, a girlfriend, a job, and social life to really spend much, if any time on chess. Sad :(
Is there anything other than chess that one could do while awake?
There is a bullet chess if you want to take a break from chess.

ASUS P5AD2-E Premium - 925XE done right first timeToday we take a look at the first retail Intel 925XE based motherboard to hit our labs and it comes from ASUS. The newest Pentium 4 chipset from Intel increases FSB to 1066MHz and removes ECC memory support. The ASUS P5AD2-E Premium motherboard provides a stack of features but how does it perform against the Intel reference board? Read on as we investigate this 925XE retail board and what it's all about.
Intel and the I9xx chipset series has been one of great controversy. Intel's known loathing of the whole overclocking scene is well documented. First removing the tried and true overclocking method of changing multipliers by locking its sixth generation CPU Pentium II and Celeron line, the only way was to increase the FSB. For nearly two years this has been the method for increasing system performance, with memory modules gaining in speed, PCI and AGP divider locks to keep the most sensitive buses in check really left only the CPU and the memory as the overclocking bottlenecks. DDR-550 memory from OCZ, Mushkin and various other manufacturers out there eliminated the memory as the problem, now in order to remove overclocking once again, Intel has thrown a spanner in the works, as we say Down Under.
The Intel I9xx chipsets lack the basic clock locks to keep the PCI, PCI Express, Hub link and the SATA clocks within their respective clock and this results in one or more of the devices on your system to become unstable and remove any chance of overclocking you may have.
This may have been the case with I925X and I915 series, but the I925XE certainly has something different to offer. The I925XE is basically the I925X but with FSB support up to 1066MHz. In order to reach this speed, Intel had to implement a divider option to reduce PCI Express and PCI bus speeds at the 1066MHz FSB level, resulting in the manufacturers being able to get a better manipulation affect on their retail boards for enthusiasts.
Today we have the first retail I925XE motherboard since the Intel Desktop board in our labs, this one is from ASUS. Based on the P5AD2 specifications, ASUS plans to move the bar up on Intel Socket T motherboards. Let's see how they go about it.

I am deciding between a mac book air with 256GB flash storage or a mac book pro with 500GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm. Which MacBook is right for me?
I think storage is the most important thing to me. I'm deciding between these two computers:
Refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Air 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Originally released June 2012
13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, 1440-by-900 resolution
4GB memory
256GB flash storage
720p FaceTime HD camera
Intel HD Graphics 4000
Refurbished 13.3-inch MacBook Pro 2.5GHz Dual-core Intel i5
Originally released June 2012
13.3-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen display, 1280-by-800 resolution
4GB (2 x 2GB) of 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM
500GB Serial ATA @ 5400 rpm
8x double-layer SuperDrive (DVD±R DL/DVD±RW/CD-RW)
Intel HD Graphics 4000
All I do on my computer is watch movies, surf the net, do very minimum word processing, store photos, maybe very very amateur photo editing and download tv shows, although I usually delete things when I am through with them. I had a 2009 mac book pro before and loved it. Did everything I needed, just ran its course. I'm not sure the flash storage is so exciting to warrant passing up a similar price deal on a 500GB Seerial ATA hard drive. Want to hear what other people think?

BAGHDAD — A car bomb in a restive town north of Baghdad on Friday killed six Iranian pilgrims, officials said, the latest in a spike in violence that has sparked fears of all-out sectarian war.
Anotherr 23 worshippers were wounded in the attack, which struck their bus as it was passing through the town of Muqdadiyah en route from the Iranian border to the holy Shiite city of Najaf.
Najaf, which lies south of Baghdad, is home to a shrine to a revered figure in Shiite Islam.
Shiite Muslims visiting holy shrines and religious sites form the backbone of Iraq's tourism industry, with the vast majority of such visitors coming from Iran.
When completing a tour of Iraq's key Shiite religious sites, pilgrims typically visit Najaf, nearby Karbala, Baghdad, and Samarra, the latter of which lies north of the capital.
But Sunni militants, including those linked to al-Qaida, view Shiite Muslims as apostates and often target them for attacks. No group immediately claimed responsibility for Friday's bombing, however.
Attacks in Iraq have risen sharply, with May the country's deadliest month since 2008, as persistent political disputes have given fuel and room for militants to increase their activities.
There has been a heightened level of violence since the beginning of the year, coinciding with rising discontent in the Sunni Arab minority that erupted into protests in late December.
The U.N. envoy to Iraq has warned that the violence is "ready to explode."

By GARY KENT
LONDON—The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has not punched above its weight for decades by making needless commitments or answering hypothetical questions. Its reply to the report of the foreign affairs committee (FAC) on UK policy towards the Kurdistan Region is a model of precision in holding the line. Its answer to the FAC's recommendation that Britain should accept Kurdish independence in certain conditions is terse - 'The Government notes the Committee's conclusion.'
ByGARY KENT
March is for remembering the highs and lows of Kurdish history and life. Both were on display in London this week. The first marked the 27th anniversary of Halabja and the second commemorated Newroz.
LONDON—Key Kurdish issues were highlighted this week in a high-profile question and answer session between MPs on the foreign affairs committee and the British Foreign Secretary, Phillip Hammond, who is due to visit Baghdad and Erbil in the next fortnight.
By Hume Shawcross
(International Business Times) While the world's attention is gripped by the appalling descent into savagery in Syria and Iraq and its corollary, Islamist terrorism, one silver lining has emerged: the newly invigorated Kurdistan, the semi-autonomous region of northern Iraq.

"Tough and tender." At Wednesday's presentation, that's how Kevin Carrigan said he handled both his women's and men's Calvin Klein White Label collections for fall. He channeled a Nineties vibe and placed an emphasis on heather gray, with, for example, a chic double-faced jersey coat paired with jogging pants in a darker gray and a ribbed mohair sweater in a pale blush tone. A flannel bomber jacket, meanwhile, looked cool over a bra from the Perfectly Fit underwear line and a white jersey skirt, with an underwear waistband peeking out to reveal the Calvin logo.
For men, there were twill topcoats and a chambray wool blazer paired with wool and mohair pants. A varnished denim jacket, stripped of all its detailing, contrasted with baggy dress pants and sweatshirts done in graphic paneling.

JetBlue Launches 'Election Protection' Promotion
Lose the election; win a free flight. That's the gist of a promotion JetBlue launched today, targeting the run up to the 2012 Presidential election this November. Entrants choose their desired winner for the Oval Office; if their candidate doesn't win they have a chance to win a ticket out of the country. The company is giving away 1006 free round-trip tickets—2012 free seats—to any of their international destinations once Election Day passes and the results are in. Destinations include the Bahamas, Grand Cayman, Turks and Caicos, and Costa Rica, among others.
"We've all heard it said before: if my candidate does not win, I'm leaving the country," said Marty St. George, senior vice president marketing and commercial strategy for JetBlue. "Fun is one of our five founding values, and in this spirit we decided to give people a chance to recover from the political noise and follow through on their claim to skip town if their candidate comes up short... Most importantly, we want to highlight the freedom we have as Americans to exercise our right to vote and encourage everyone to do their part on November 6. Live Free or Fly!"
This is the latest promotion from JetBlue tied to current events. The carrier famously offered commuter flights from Burbank to Long Beach in July 2011 when the 405 was shut down for a day and the city predicted "carmageddon" traffic problems. This promotion is a bit bigger, but then so are the presidential elections.
It is rare that an airline engages with its customers and has fun rather than just packing as many passengers as they can between airports. Finding a carrier with a sense of humor is refreshing indeed. And winning a trip to the Caribbean or Latin America certainly wouldn't suck.

Unfortunately, JetBlue is kicking to the curb the 40% of American voters who are independent and third-party, by not affording them an 'independent' or 'other' box to click in its ill-conceived 'election protection' poll. Independent voters are a larger group than either Republicans or Democrats. Shame on JetBlue!

Champion Hill Decisive Battle For VicksburgThe Battle of Champion Hill was the decisive land engagement of the Vicksburg Campaign. The May 16 1863 fighting took place just 20 miles east of the river city where the advance of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Federal army attacked Gen. John C. Pemberton's hastily gathered Confederates. The bloody fighting seesawed back and forth until superior Union leadership broke apart the Southern line
France is in crisis. In this provocative account, Timothy Smith argues that the French economic and social model is collapsing inward on itself, the result of good intentions, bad policies, and vested interests who employ the rhetoric of 'solidarity' to prevent change. French social policy is not redistributive; indeed, Smith argues, the majority of 'social' spending serves to strengthen existing

The campaign was an attempt to prevent Confederate alliance with the French in Mexico, deny supplies to Confederate forces, and secure

Panel raps Mohali police for coercing NRI

- Indian Navy surveillance aircraft crashes in Goa; two officers missing
- Section 66A: 21 individuals whose petitions changed the system

- A little reminder: No one in House debated Section 66A, Congress brought it and BJP backed it
Observing that such misconduct by the police will act as a "deterrent for foreign investment" in the state, the commission has directed the Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) to take "appropriate action" within three weeks.
Directions have been passed by the commission comprising Justice Arvind Kumar (retd), chairperson, and S Chattopadhyaya, ADGP-cum-member of the commission, on a complaint filed by Aditya Khindaria, a US citizen, an NRI.
In a scathing order, the commission has held "the act & conduct of Punjab Police does not give a good reflection on Punjab and could act as a deterrent for foreign investment in the State".
Reminding the police force about its duties, the commission has held "there is an obligation of the State to ensure a Rule of Law through its institutions. The primary institute on which the State relies for the maintenance of Law & Order is the police. Therefore, the police force ought to be fast, fair, honest, transparent and more accountable. NRI affairs is the priority of the Punjab government. No doubt, mediation and conciliation or alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is quite prevalent in India wherein the parties rely on such system but can't be thrusted upon a party, like the one in the present complaint, which is nothing, but prima facie a coercion".
In his complaint, the NRI has submitted that he is a chairman of Kare Partners Group India (Pvt) Ltd (KPGI), engaged in the business of healthcare. His company, in order to promote its business interest in India, acquired 51% stake in Kamesh Bharghav Hospital & Research Centre Pvt Ltd, known as "Silver Oaks" Hospital.
Advocate Navkiran Singh, counsel for the complainant, submitted that an agreement was signed between the complainant and three doctors. Aditya made a payment of Rs 26 crore out of the total Rs 52 crore and became a majority share holder. However, at the meeting of Board of Directors held on February 29 this year and after the resignation of two doctors, the complainant and two others were taken as directors.
Navkiran alleged that there was a difference of opinion of working of stake holders who forced the complainant to purchase the remaining shares at bloated price. He made various attempts to resolve the matter amicably. The matter is pending for arbitration before a retired Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court.
Meanwhile, one of the directors approached the Mohali SSP, seeking registration of a criminal case against the complainant and other directors. The complainant is alleging that the Mohali police is pressuring him to sign the contract failing which he will be implicated in false cases.

Houston Rockets Rumors: Hakeem Olajuwon Returning to Team in 'Official Capacity'
The Houston Rockets have had one of the most productive off-seasons of any team in the NBA thus far. Even though they haven't completed a high quantity of moves, they did land the biggest fish in the free-agent pond when they were able to sign All-Star center Dwight Howard to come to Houston and join their young core headlined by James Harden.
Along with Harden and young swingman Chandler Parsons, one of the key figures in the Rockets' pitch in trying to sign Howard was legendary Rockets' center Hakeem Olajuwon. Olajuwon hasn't played in the league since 2002 and has really only been heard from before now in regards to him working with the NBA's elite big men on their post skills.
According to a report from the Houston Chronicle, though, the Rockets are bringing back Olajuwon to the organization in what they dubbed "an official capacity." It hasn't yet been decided what his actual position and title will be with the Rockets, but general manager Daryl Morey said that Olajuwon won't be full-time, but will be as full-time as possible and will work with the Rockets' big men.
With Howard now and Houston and Omer Asik there (for now) as well, Olajuwon will be huge for helping them to continue to develop their offensive games in the post. Olajuwon while he was in the league was one of the most versatile and dangerous big men in the league because of the plethora of moves he could use to score. If he can pass just some of those down to a player with the talents of Howard, the Rockets will be a force in the Western Conference in the upcoming season.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Sunday that "arrogant powers and enemies" are trying to save the "Zionist regime", according to the Islamic Republic's Press TV website.Speaking during a meeting with senior Hamas official Mahmoud Zahar in Tehran, the Iranian president said that "arrogant powers and enemies of nations are trying to manage the developments in the region so as to save the Zionist regime [from obliteration].""We should not downplay and underestimate the plots and actions of the enemies...they may pretend to rebuke the Zionist regime, but their main objective is to save this regime," the Iranian president said."We have to be more vigilant in a bid to be able to neutralize their conspiracies," he added. Commenting on the issue of Palestine and Palestinian rights, Ahmadinejad expressed hope that the Palestinians would soon regain their rights and return to their homeland, according to the report."We hope that all nations would soon obtain their rights including freedom, elections, independence and self-determination," he said. Press TV reported that Zahar offered his gratitude to the Islamic Republic for its "unflinching" support for the Palestinian people.The meeting comes after the Hamas leader commented that the current international and Arab landscape prevents the possibility that the new Israeli coalition will launch military operations against Iran and Gaza, or attempt to recapture the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt."Not one of the leaders of the occupation can be classified as worse than the other. Attempts to categorize them as doves and hawks is incorrect, they are all fond of shedding Palestinian blood," Ma'an news agency quoted Zahar as saying.

Pinning the badge: Honoring our professional traditions
There are two times a badge is presented to an officer — the first upon graduating the police academy and the second upon being promoted — and both are very exciting times
Badge, shield or star, regardless of what your agency calls it, are the symbol of authority. As I travel the country there are some traditions that have remained intact. All agencies issue a hard symbol of the individual's authority. The badge, shield, or star.
While this is the most visible, the identification card issued remains the real authoritative symbol. The card remains in your wallet while the badge is there for the world to observe.
The law enforcement community is deep in traditions. As the world changes, some traditions are so important that they must remain unchanged. But the manner in which this symbol, the badge, is earned and awarded must never change.
Everyone must complete a basic police academy — the individual must initially prove themselves.
Pinning the Badge
Earning the right to become a law enforcement officer is based solely on that individual's performance. No money, good old boy system, or political influence must be involved in this process.
Any help at this time will have a disastrous effect later as that unproven officer might be your backup or called upon to assist a victim. The public deserves only qualified officers and the only way this happens is by successfully completing the required academy.
There are two times a badge is presented to an officer — the first upon graduating the police academy and the second upon being promoted — and both are very exciting times.
The first time is as the recruit walks across the stage in a process that is the same or close to the same in every academy. The recruit's name is called and that proud individual walks up and receives their certification from the academy, usually from the academy director.
Then they walk a bit further and either their chief or sheriff presents them with the badge. After all the names are called, the new recruit class stands and gets sworn in.
This is followed by the families or significant others being requested to come forward and pin the badge on the uniform of the new officers — for it is these people that will be most important in the officer's lives.
They will be there for the up and downs, the joys and sadness and long after the uniform is put to rest. It is as much a celebration for the new officer as well as their families. I remember my mother and father pinning the badge on my freshly pressed new uniform and seeing the tears in their eyes.
The second time is when the officer is promoted. Standard practice is that the highlights of that officer's career are read to the attending audience followed by inviting the officer to the stage to be presented with the new rank.
After the chief or sheriff hands the badge to the officer, the family or significant others are requested to join the officer on the stage. For the same reasons as before, the family or significant others pin the badge on the uniform of the newly promoted officer. This time it was my wife doing the honors.
We are a community of deep-standing traditions that are kept alive from generation to generation. It is a way of honoring those who serve.
