I decided today to update my Drivers - ROM etc - on my iPAQ and was baffled by it not responding after the update, I had put it in the cradle to re-activate the battery. I soft reset it and with no result I then Hard reset it - also no result. I removed the battery and tried a soft reset, with still no result, and all the while putting it in the cradle to re-set the battery. All the time the iPaq would not connect with the computer active sync. I don't know what to do, can someone please help

The OS on the iPAQ is corrupted. Since the iPAQ can no longer obtain a successful connection with the computer so that ActiveSync recognizes it, there may not be any way to restore the iPAQ to working order.
This happened a lot when people attempted to update their iPAQs from a Windows 7 or Vista computer. If you still have access to a Windows XP computer, go install ActiveSync to it and see if the iPAQ can make a successful connection to the computer so the computer and ActiveSync recognizes it as a window mobile device. If it does, then you can try installing the update again from the XP computer.

Discovery High School's "Discombobulated Delegation" took home top honors for winning the seventh annual "Red Hot Spelling Bee" for the Newton Conover Education Foundation.
In all, 22 teams competed Tuesday night. The event was held in the Newton-Conover High School Gymnasium and emceed by Michael Willard from WXRC/WNNC radio.
Newton resident, Donna Stewart, 48, of 2133 Peanuts Lane, made her first appearance in superior court today after being arrested on Friday, March 15 for two counts of First Degree Rape of a Child.
The room is filled with a staunch smell of sweat and blood. There is a blur of kicks, chops and punches all over the room. In the middle is Brooke Randall, 15, of Hickory who recently received her black belt in karate.
Second-grade students at Shuford Elementary school are honing their skills both in the classroom and outside of it.
Seven students from Mrs. Angie Sigmon's second-grade class at Shuford Elementary presented at the North Carolina Technology in Education Society (NCTIES) Conference last Thursday in Raleigh.
Newton native Julius Frances Abernethy Huitt, who set a local record for women in previously male achievements before she and her husband moved to Hawaii more than half a century ago, has died in her adopted state.
The Newton Fire Department responded to a reported house fire Wednesday night but found something a little different.
Initial reports at 9:09 p.m. to 911 were from one of the occupants that said the house was on fire and that everyone was attempting to get out, according to fire officials.
The Catawba Valley Special Olympics are seeking volunteers for the Spring Track and Field Games on Friday, April 26, at Newton-Conover High School.

When I was looking at the Nexus S at the Sprint store the rep told me that I could download Sprint TV, but I haven't been able to find it. Can anyone help. I would also like the NFL app too.
Not sure on the Sprint TV, but for nascar and football you just text football to 7777 or nascar to 7777.
Here is a list of phones that Sprint TV works with. Nexus S is not listed.
The following Sprint phones are compatible with Sprint TV.
BlackBerry 8330
Since this device is a 'vanilla' Android device, the Sprint apps weren't tested or certified to work on it. The apps may download and install successfully, yet may not function as expected or error out. .
Nascar or Football:
For TV, NAV and other apps, you'll need the APK files. Here's a link on Android Central that describes the process:
Please post back on how this works for you so others can benefit. Thanks!
I have tried this multiple times since I got my NS4G and each time, I get a link to the same web page: http://sprint.us/nascar . When I click on the download link on that page I get "The requested item could not be found"
the evo isnt even on that list yet its on there already. funny lol
Try going to the android market online and download it from there.
Yeah. They need to update that list. It is a little behind.
chalk that up on their "to do list"
I used the EVO APK and it works fine. So I would use that one specifically because the screen formatting and resolution in Sprint TV works with the Nexus S, I am looking at Sprint TV right now.
I get the same message when I text 7777. Doesn't seem like the app is compatible. I was able to install the EVO apk for Sprint TV and it works.
what and where is the evo apk? does not show up in app seach
Downloaded to my nexus and it works!!!
where did u find it at
Near the bottom of http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-nexus-s-4g/82527-how-get-sprint-nascar-football-nav-tv-your-ns4g-5.html a poster links to an APK to install it. Please keep in mind that Sprint has not made Sprint TV available to the Nexus for a variety of reasons, if the application does not work properly, or you have trouble using it, you will want to remove/reinstall, or look for a different version. tech support may not be able to help you past any errors that you encounter.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Militants tried to blast their way into an American base in eastern Afghanistan on Saturday, striking before dawn with rocket-propelled grenades and a car bomb.
All four attackers were killed, as well as two truck drivers parked nearby, said provincial Police Chief Gen. Mohammad Qasim Jangalbagh. Two Afghan security guards were wounded.
The militants failed to breach the gate of the base in Panjshir province's Rakha district, though they did hit a security tower with a rocket-propelled grenade.
A NATO spokeswoman confirmed the attack but said there were no American deaths or injuries and no significant damage to facilities. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
in a text message sent to The Associated Press.
NATO downplayed the significance of such spectacular strikes on Saturday, presenting figures that showed headline-grabbing assaults account for only 1 percent of attacks in Afghanistan and that militant activity is down overall.
Insurgent attacks between January and September were 8 percent lower than the first nine months of 2010, according to figures supplied by a senior official with NATO forces who spoke anonymously because of the sensitivity of the information.
But while violent attacks are down overall, assassinations have increased 60 percent for the same period with 131 people killed so far this year, according to the official.
And while NATO reports little change in civilian casualties over the nine-month period, figures from the U.N. show an increase in civilian deaths.
Many of the highest profile attacks have been perpetrated by the Haqqani network, a Taliban-allied group operating out of Pakistan, according to NATO.
Eleven out of the last 15 attacks in Kabul came from the Haqqanis and were directed and organized out of Pakistan, the NATO official said.
The Panjshir attack followed on the heels of violence Friday which left at least 30 dead across Afghanistan. While on Saturday, a two NATO service members were killed in separate insurgent attacks in the south. NATO confirmed the deaths in a statement but did not release further details.
NATO reported Saturday that 23 insurgents were killed in five separate operations throughout the east. In the largest strike, seventeen insurgents were killed in an airstrike in Kunar province. The remaining six deaths were in operations in Wardak, Kunar and Ghazni provinces.
In southern Afghanistan, a suicide bombing killed three Afghan border police officers and one civilian. The bomber blew up his explosives-packed car Friday afternoon while it was being inspected at a checkpoint.
The explosion happened in Spin Boldak, near the Pakistani border, in the early evening, said Gen. Abdul Raziq, the head of the border police in the south.
The checkpoint had been set up because of an intelligence warning that an attack was imminent, provincial government spokesman Zalmai Ayubi said.
Three NATO service members were also killed Friday in separate attacks, according to statements from the military coalition, making 11 killed so far this month and at least 464 since the beginning of the year.

Pard remains at lvl 6 by her own choice, which was stated quite early on. Vol. 13 gives strong hints to the reason, and vol. 14 will probably clear things up completely. I think it reasonable to assume that the Raker-Pard rivalry was a very close one, as all rival pairs in the series are presented as such. It's true, though, that Pard is almost certainly one generation "younger" than Raker. Again, vol. 14 will probably make that clear.

Aqua was lvl 6 also when the whole Castle Raid fiasco from NN. when she got an air of that info and that her Parent was trapped in EK mode, she saw how cherry Rook was devastated when Niko, her child, out lvled him, that why Pard opted to stay at Lvl 6, till they could Rescue Aqua |

Today is Sunday, Sept. 23, the 267th day of 2012. There are 99 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On Sept. 23, 1952, Sen. Richard M. Nixon, R-Calif., salvaged his vice-presidential nomination by appearing live on television to refute allegations of improper campaign fundraising. (The address became known as the "Checkers" speech because of Nixon's on-air reference to the family pet, a dog named "Checkers.")
On this date:
In 1779, during the Revolutionary War, the American warship Bon Homme Richard, commanded by John Paul Jones, defeated the HMS Serapis in battle.
In 1780, British spy John Andre was captured along with papers revealing Benedict Arnold's plot to surrender West Point to the British.
In 1806, the Lewis and Clark expedition returned to St. Louis more than two years after setting out for the Pacific Northwest.
In 1846, Neptune was identified as a planet by German astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle.
In 1912, Mack Sennett's first Keystone short subject, a "split-reel" of two comedies both starring Mabel Normand and Ford Sterling ("Cohen Collects a Debt" and "The Water Nymph"), was released. Houston's William Marsh Rice Institute (later renamed Rice University), opened for classes on the 12th anniversary of Rice's death.
In 1932, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was founded.
In 1939, Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, died in London at age 83.
In 1949, President Harry S. Truman announced there was evidence the Soviet Union had recently conducted a nuclear test explosion. (The test had been carried out on Aug. 29, 1949.)
In 1957, nine black students who'd entered Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas were forced to withdraw because of a white mob outside.
In 1962, New York's Philharmonic Hall (later renamed Avery Fisher Hall) formally opened as the first unit of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. "The Jetsons," an animated cartoon series about a Space Age family, premiered as the ABC television network's first color program.
In 1973, former Argentine president Juan Peron won a landslide election victory that returned him to power; his wife, Isabel, was elected vice president.
In 1981, the Reagan administration announced plans for what became known as "Radio Marti."
Ten years ago: A defiant Yasser Arafat dug in at his besieged West Bank compound, rejecting Israel's demand to hand over the names of all those holed up inside. Gov. Gray Davis signed a law making California the first state to offer workers paid family leave.
Five years ago: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad left Tehran for New York to address the United Nations; state media quoted him as saying the American people were eager for different opinions about the world, and that he was looking forward to providing them with "correct and clear information." Cuba published a photo of a standing, smiling Fidel Castro looking heavier but still gaunt as he met with Angola's president.
One year ago: Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas took his people's quest for independence to the United Nations, seeking the world body's recognition of Palestine and sidestepping negotiations that had foundered for nearly two decades. Pope Benedict XVI, visiting his native Germany, met with victims of sexual abuse by priests and expressed "deep compassion and regret," according to the Vatican. After 41 years, the soap opera "All My Children" broadcast its final episode on ABC-TV.

US 4542341 A Resumen A system for performing electronic burn-in testing of a component comprising a rack (20) which is electrically connectable to a power source. A tray (50) is on the rack and a mother board (MB) associated with the tray is electrically connectable to the rack. A daughter board (DB) is electrically connectable to the mother board and to a component to be tested. The daughter board is electrically dedicated to the component but neither the tray nor the mother board are dedicated to the component.
Reclamaciones(4) 1. A system for performing electronic burn-in testing of module from a source of test voltages comprising:
a rack in the form of a skeletal frame structure, a removable tray slidable into the rack, a removable daughter board receivable in the tray, the rack having support means for receiving and releaseably supporting at least one removable tray, at least one power interface assembly on the rack for connecting the rack to the source of test voltages, a plurality of releasable electric connectors on the interface assembly for making electrical connection to th eremovable tray, the tray including a mother board circuit having a plurality of conductive paths, each path being connected to an electric contact that is engageable with one of the releasable connectors on the interface assembly when the tray is slid into the rack, means on the tray to receive and releasably support the daughter board, a plurality of releasable electric connectors on the mother board each connected to a conductive path, a plurality of electric contacts on the daughter board each of which is engageable with a releaseable connector on the mother baord when the daughter board is inserted into the tray, a module on the daughter board hardwired to at least one contact on the daughter board to recieve a test voltage from the mother board the daughter board containing signal means to indicate the presence of test voltage across the module. 2. A system in accordance with claim 1 in which the rack has a plurality of means for receiving, supporting and supplying test voltge to a plurality of trays simultaneously.
3. A system in accordance with claim 1 in which the tray has a plurality of means for receiving, supporting, and supplying test voltage to a plurality of daughter boards simultaneously.
4. A system in accordance with claim 1 in which means are provided on the rack to automatically connect and disconnect the releaseable electric connectors on the interface assembly when the tray is slid into and out of the rack.
Descripción This invention relates to test equipment and, more particularly, to equipment for testing electronic components prior to their actual usuage. It is common practice to test electronic components prior to their actually being installed. In the process, components are subjected to extreme conditions, greater than those they will experience in actual usage to weed out weak or defective parts. For example, it is not uncommon to test a component for hours, if not days, under temperature conditions approaching 85° C. Such testing is referred to as burning-in. There are a number of burn-in systems in use today. However, they tend to be very expensive because they are generally custom designed and dedicated only to a particular component or circuit to be tested. Applicants have been making customized burn-in racks for the electronics industry for some time which are designed specifically and wired precisely in accordance with the tests planned for the units to be tested. A system designed and hand wired to a specific component or circuit is known as a "dedicated" system. Racks containing the units to be tested, are placed in temperature controlled chambers. The racks are wired into electronic test equipment which is usually outside the chamber in a separate control room. The control room contains a power source and various types of analytical equipment. In the prior art racks, the units under test are inserted directly into each rack. Thousands of wires connect the units under test to the power source. Generally, after a period of time (a year or so), the user changes the specific product being tested because a new product has come along and replaced the earlier one, or the specific product has been modified. The only way to insert and test such a new product is to completely redesign or modify the rack wiring. This involves desoldering and complete refrabrication, often times costing in the hundreds of thousands of dollars in labor. An object of the present invention is to provide a rack which is completely reusable requiring no desoldering and which is completely nondedicated to any particular unit to be tested. It is also an object that the racks be completely adaptable to any unit to be tested and wherein two or more different units can simultaneously be tested without altering the wiring connecting the rack to the test equipment. In accordance with the above objects, applicants have provided a system for performing electronic burn-in testing of a component comprising a rack which is electrically connectable to a power source. There is a tray on the rack and a mother board is associated with the tray and electrically connectable to the rack. A daughter board is electrically connectable to the mother board and to a component to be tested. The daughter board is electrically dedicated to the component and neither the tray nor the mother board are dedicated to the component. In one embodiment of the invention, racks are provided which accept twelve trays. Each tray in turn is ten positions, each of which accepts one unit to be tested, which unit is wired to a daughter board. It is theoretically possible therefore that 120 different units can undergo simultaneous testing. In accordance with another feature of the invention, the trays are adjustable in size to accomodate daughter boards of varying sizes and shapes and the racks in turn are adjustable to accomodate trays of varying sizes. These, and other features of the invention including various novel details of construction in combinations of parts, will now be more particularly described with reference to the accompanying drawings and pointed out in the claims. It will be understood that the particular burn-in system embodying the invention are shown by way of illustration only and not as a limitation of the invention. The principals and features of this invention may be employed in varied and numerous embodiments without departing from the scope of the invention. In the drawings: FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of two contiguous factory test rooms containing electronic test equipment in one and a burn-in system embodying the present invention in the other. FIG. 2 is a semi-schematic wiring diagram showing the relationship between the mother board, the daughter board and the units under test in side elevation. FIG. 3 a perspective view of the present invention embodying a burn-in rack including a tray containing a mother board and daughter boards.

FIG. 13 is a rear elevational view of the end of a tray and add-on plates increase the size of the tray to accomodate a larger size daughter board. FIG. 14 is a front elevational detail view of the rack and tray in the position seen in FIG. 11. Referring to FIG. 1, there will be seen schematically a plan view of two contiguous hypothetical test rooms in an electronics plant. Room 2 on the right houses electronic test equipment 4 including computing and analyzing equipment. A conduit 6 enters from adjacent room 8 which is a walk-in, burn-in chamber where a plurality of racks 10 are located. Heating means 12 is provided to raise the temperature of the burn-in room including the racks and the units under test, herein also (UUT), to temperatures as high as 85° C. After placing the racks in the burn-in chamber and after they have been loaded with trays containing daughter boards with the UUTs on them, the operator leaves the room thereafter to return only after the test is completed. He switches on the heating means, if such is required in the specific test, turns on the electrical test equipment and thereafter monitors the test results as required. Referring to FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, there will be seen a perspective view of a rack 20 containing one tray 50 and a plurality of daughter boards DB. The rack 20 is constructed of tubular aluminum and includes a base 22. Upstanding from the base 22 are front and rear vertical supports 24, 26 respectively. Each support is made up of a pair of tubular frame members 28 that are joined by braces 30. supporting guideways 34 made of L and T-shaped aluminum stock. On the front of the rack, extending outwardly from the supports 24 are front panel frames 36, 38. The arms 32 which mount the guideways 34 are adjustable height-wise with regard to the frame means in prebored holes 40 in the members 28 to accomodate trays of varying heights. Referring next to FIGS. 6 and 7 a tray will now be described. Each tray 50 comprises four horizontally extending frame members 52. Extending across the upper frame members 52 are guideways 54 each grooved as at 59 to accept the upper edge of a daughter board DB which mounts a separate unit under test UUT, better seen in FIG. 11. Constituting a portion of the bottom of the tray as viewed in FIG. 7 is the mother board MB which mounts a plurality of zero insertion force connector members (hereinafter ZIF) connectors. The mother board will be described in greater detail hereinafter. Suffice it to say that the ZIF connectors are in vertical alignment with the guideways 54 to accept slidably a daughter board DB as shown in FIGS. 10 and 11. The ends of tray 20 are provided with end plates 56. Nylon glides 57 (seen also in FIG. 12) underlie the lower guide rails 52. As seen in FIG. 13 and in dotted outline in FIG. 12 the trays 20 may be increased in height by the addition of spacer plates 60 or 62 which may be secured by threaded connections 64 to the top of the trays, the purpose being to accomodate daughter boards of greater size. Accordingly the rails 34 on the rack 10 would be repositioned in the holes 40 on the rack to accomodate the higher trays. The upper rails 52 would then be repositioned on top of the extendor 60, 62. The mother board will now be described, particularly with reference to FIGS. 2 and 8. They constitute the bottoms of the trays 50 and comprise a pair of printed circuit boards having 36 pairs of conductive paths 62a and 62b in alignment on their upper and lower surfaces. Because the mother boards are made in two pieces, the conductive paths are joined by hard wiring as at 64. The conductive paths terminate in connectors 66 at the ends of the board between notches 68 and 70. The notch 70 being of greater depth than notch 68, makes the boards asymetrical and prevents the boards and hence the trays from being inserted in the racks with the wrong end forward. Ten ZIF connectors, only two of which are seen in FIG. 8, are spaced across the mother boards and soldered to the 36 pairs of conductive paths. Referring next to FIG. 9, there will be seen a power interface assembly plate 80 which connects the rack to the source of power. There is one interface plate for each tray on the rack. They are located vertically at the closed end or the end nearest the viewer as seen in FIG. 3. Each interface plate 80 comprises a mounting panel 82 and 36 hard wire terminals 84 arranged 18 in each of two rows one above the other at right angles on the face of the panel 82. A horizontally extending ZIF connector, ZIF-86 (see FIGS. 10 and 11) extends through the panel 82. Each terminal 84 is hard wired to a contact 88 by means of a wire 90. Any plurality of interface terminals 84 may be bussed together as shown at 100. The interface terminal of each assembly plate 80, there being 12 on the rack shown in FIG. 3, are hard wired to the users electronic control equipment 4 by conduit 6 as seen in FIG. 1. Each ZIF connector is a commercially available component having a housing 104 (FIG. 8) and 36 pairs of contacts 106, each pair of contacts being electrically soldered in parallel relationship to one of the 36 conductors 62. A tripping lever 108 is located at the end of each ZIF connector to open and close the contacts. Automatic means for opening and closing the connector ZIF-86 is provided on the forward end of each tray. With reference to FIG. 10, ZIF-86 is located at the lower portion of the mounting panel 82 of the interface plate 80 with its operating lever 108 inclined at about 30° to the horizontal. An aligning pin 110 projects rearwardly from the panel 82. An aperture 112 in the face plate 56 of the tray 50 is aligned with the pin 110. An elongate aperture 114 along the bottom of the faceplate 56 permits the plate to clear the lever 108 as the tray is moved from right to left as viewed in FIG. 10 at which time the aligning pin 110 enters the hole 112 to cam the tray into correct alignment with the then open ZIF-86. A cam 115 on the leading end of the tray engages the lever 108 moving it upwardly in a counterclockwise direction thereby closing the contacts of ZIF-86 into engagement with the contacts 66 on the mother board to make electrical contact as shown in FIG. 11. Upon removing the tray from the rack after the test has been completed, when the tray is pulled out or to the right as viewed in FIG. 11, the back of the plate 56 , against which the lever 108 has been resting, pulls the lever downwardly in a clockwise direction to open the contacts of ZIF-86. Signal lights 120, 122 are mounted on the upper left hand edge of each daughter board (see FIG. 12), both being light emitting diodes, the upper LED 120 is red and is wired to the daughter board to indicate that there is power coming from the power source in the electronic test equipment. The lower light 122 is green and when glowing indicates there is a voltage coming from either the unit under test or the daughter board per se. The daughter boards may be wired with self generating voltage sources where for example the voltage to be applied to one of the elements of the units under test is not a standard voltage or one coming from the electronic test equipment source through one of the 36 leads. Next referring to FIG. 2, there will be seen a modified semi-schematic showing of the circuitry of the burn-in system. Conduit 6 which is a harness of many separate wires, brings voltage to the test racks. One of the separate leads in the conduit 6 is designated 6a and brings a source of test voltage to one of the terminals 84 on the interface assembly plate 80. For illustrative purposes, it will be assumed that lead 6a brings in 10 amps at 5 volts which is one of the test voltages which may be selected by the daughter board. The current path is split, passing along parallel wires 90a and 90b to the connector ZIF 86 on the back of the interface panel 80. The current path continues, passing to the upper and lower contacts 66a and 66b in the mother board thence through conduits 62a and 62b, through the contacts 105, 106 to the contacts 132a and b on the daughter board. To this point none of the current carrying parts, i.e., the rack, tray or mother board, are dedicated to anything. Five amps of current at 5 volts move along each of the lines 62 and thence to the daughter board which is dedicated by being designed in accordance with the unit under test (UUT). Ten amps at 5 volts is thus delivered to UUT. Referring to FIG. 12, it will be seen that the illustrative UUT comprises four components and a counter. Such an assembly is known in the trade as a module as distinguished from a component which usually refers to a single element such as a transistor. The daughter board DB is specifically dedicated to the particular unit (UUT) or component of the unit (UUT) under test. The component or components are mounted on the daughter board and electrically connected by printed circuit to one of the contacts 132 on the lower edge of the board. When the daughter board is fully inserted into one of the ZIF connectors on the mother board, contact is made with the appropriate contacts 105, 106 in the ZIF connector to select the desired test voltage, in this instance 10 amps at 5 volts. The current returns along another line out of the daughter board DB into the mother board and thence back through the power interface assembly 80 to the source in the electronic test equipment unit. It will be noted that there are 36 leads, 18 of which can supply 10 amps of current to any particular component of a unit under test while 18 return the current to the source. It is possible however to test more than 18 components at a given time. For example, 24 lines may feed 24 separate components with the remaining 12 lines serving as return conduits when appropriately bussed together. Thus with the above described non-dedicated rack and tray, unlike or different components may simultaneously be tested. Citas de patentes

Power crisis hits industry
Chandigarh, February 13 While six-eight hour cuts are being imposed on industry in Punjab, along with a compulsory weekly off, power cuts ranging from 10-18 hours are being imposed in Haryana. What has irked the industry more is that other than the scheduled power cuts, unscheduled cuts are being imposed, which is adversely affecting industrial production. R.S Sachdeva, co-chairman, Punjab committee of PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said never before had power regulations been imposed throughout the year. As against a demand of 9,000 megawatt (MW) in Punjab, the power availability is just 6,000 MW. Punjab hopes to augment its supply by another 6,000 MW by year 2010, with the commissioning of power plants at Gidderbaha, Talwandi Sabo and Rajpura. In Haryana, as against an average daily demand of 750-800 lakh units (LUs), only 640-650 LUs is available. A survey conducted by an independent body of industrialists across the state, showed that an average of 10-18 hours of cut was being imposed. The worst situation is in Bhiwani and IMT Manesar, where industry is facing 15-18 hour cuts. In Udyog Vihar, Gurgaon, an unscheduled power cut of 16 hour is imposed while over 16 hour of cut is imposed in Faridabad. The state power authorities have failed to preempt the rising demand of power as they expected the annual load growth to be just eight per cent. The unavailability of gas and RLNG (recycled liquefied natural gas) from the National Thermal Power Corporation, and lack of rains in winters have all added to the power shortage. The state authorities now insist that the industry should make a move and set up its own captive generation. But with the cost of captive generation being almost double than the rate of power supplied by the government, industry is not willing to completely switch over and lower its profit margins. |
Nod to 25 FDI proposals worth Rs 5,585 crore
New Delhi, February 13 The proposals approved by Finance Minister P Chidambaram also include a Rs 1,460-crore plan of J M Financial Trustee for induction of foreign equity by subscribing to private placement of units. The Indian company is engaged in FDI compliant construction development projects, an official release said. Earlier, the Department of Telecom had withheld Letters of Intent to Bycell for launching mobile services in five circles. The investment plan of the company, which had applied for licences in Assam, Orissa, Bihar, North East and West Bengal circles in January 2006, also envisages raising of paid up capital. Among other major proposals, Mumbai-based Dumeric Holdings Pvt Ltds Rs 400-crore proposal to convert status of operating company into operating cum holding company for making further downstream investments was also cleared. Another proposal of KVK Energy & Infrastructure Pvt Ltd was cleared for induction of foreign equity in a company by way of subscription to fresh equity shares, fully convertible debentures or preference shares.

Solan firm ties up with Arcelormittal
Solan, February 13 Having equity participation of one third each, the new venture will be operational from February 15. Being the first Indian company to venture into metal cladding, the firm will give India the distinction of being among the few countries handling such work. The company, which is specially recognised and awarded for excellence in R&D initiatives by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research, has brought India on the world map of metal cladding. Sharing his achievements with The Tribune, managing director, Shiwalik Bimetal Controls, N.S. Ghuman, said: It was our zeal to manufacture a unique product whose replication would be a barrier for others which led me to experiment with bimetals. The unit has created history by entering into a JV with the global leaders. The trio would now sell market-clad products across the world from a SEZ at Indore. Though there was an initial planning to set up this plant in the Baddi-Barotiwala-Nalagarh industrial area, but lack of adequate land acted as a deterrent. It was an ardent march to this international JV from a small unit in 1986 which started with a staff strength of 25. I started with a production of Rs 3 crore and have touched Rs 225 crore, revealed Ghuman. Having a niche market, the metal-clad that finds diverse applications in coinage of various countries like the USA, Europe, Thailand and Czechoslovakia, it was through the net that ArcelorMittal and Nickel Alloys located us. The market here offers only limited options but it was basically the Internet which helped in bringing all of us together, he said. The two global giants had paid a visit to the companys Solan unit in September last year and decided on the venture. Ghuman said: The unit will come into production within 15 months. |
ArcelorMittal net up 2.7 pc
London, February 13 The company had a net profit of $2.37 billion in the year-ago period. The sales of the firm rose by 20.64 per cent to $27.99 billion in the latest quarter from $23.20 billion in the same period a year ago. ArcelorMittal had a profit of $10.37 billion in the year ended December 31, 2007, up by 30.04 per cent from $7.97 billion. The company's sales rose by 18.79 per cent to $105.22 billion from $88.58 billion in the same period a year ago. "2007 was the first full year following the merger of Arcelor and Mittal Steel to create the world's leading steel company... Separately, we have not let the integration process distract us from continuing to identify further opportunities for progress.
... Looking forward, we are expecting performance in the first quarter of 2008 to be comparable to the fourth quarter 2007 levels," company chief Lakshmi N Mittal said.
India, Russia discuss $8-b projects
New Delhi, February 13 "Members of our business delegation have discussed in the last two days $8 billion worth of projects," Russian minister of economic development Elvira S. Nabiullina said here. The two sides have set up a joint CEOs council. The Indian side will be co-chaired by Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani, while Russians have yet to announce their co-chair. Addressing the reporters along with Nabiullina, commerce and industry minister Kamal Nath said the two-day discussions in the India-Russia Forum on trade and investment have touched many important issues, including the roadblocks in achieving the target of $10-billion bilateral trade by 2010. PTI RIL strikes gas in KG Basin
Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) has made its first gas discovery in a deep-sea exploratory block off the Krishna River basin on the east coast, the company said. "The company is pleased to announce the first gas discovery in exploratory block," RIL said. "The block is located about 50 km from Machalipatnam in Andhra Pradesh in the deep waters of the Krishna Basin in the Bay of Bengal," the company said, adding "RIL holds 90 per cent participating interest while the rest is held by UK-based petroleum company Hardy Oil.
Growth of 6 core sectors falls to 4 pc in Dec
New Delhi, February 13 The April-December performance of infrastructure industries crude oil, petroleum refinery products, coal, electricity, cement and steel was equally dismal at 5.7 per cent as against 8.9 per cent. For December 2007, crude oil was the worst performer with a negative growth of 1.5 per cent as against a positive expansion of 10.7 per cent in the same month last year. Petroleum refinery products put out a dismal show of just 2 per cent growth as compared with 10.8 per cent in the same period last year. Finished steel grew by 5.1 per cent as against 10.2 per cent, while expansion in the cement sector dropped to 3.9 per cent from 8 per cent. Electricity generation went up by 3.8 per cent as compared to 9.1 per cent. The infrastructure industries have 26.6 per cent weightage in the index of industrial production, which dropped to 7.6 per cent in December 2007 from 13.4 per cent a year ago. Industrial sector to slowdown in 2008: Moodys
Indias industrial sector is likely to witness a slowdown and will remain in single digit throughout this year, as the country faces various headwinds like appreciating rupee, poor infrastructure and rising borrowing costs, global credit rating agency Moodys said. The combination of softer domestic and decelerating external demand, particularly from the US Indias largest export market is expected to weigh heavily on Indias industrial sector in the coming months, Moodys Economy.coms director (Asia Pacific) Ruth Stroppiana said. Lackluster performance of manufacturing and mining, coupled with poor output of consumer goods sector, has pushed the countrys industrial growth rate to 7.6 per cent in December 2007 from 13.4 per cent in the same month a year ago. We expect Indias industrial sector to slow in 2008, as near decade high borrowing costs would weigh on demand for locally produced interest rate-sensitive goods, particularly consumer durables, Moodys Economy.com said.

Hyundai to supply vehicles to government
New Delhi, February 13 The mid-sized sedan Accent GLE, has been selected by the Government of India for its fleet of official cars, Hyundai Motor India Ltd (HMIL) said in a statement. The Directorate General of Supplies & Disposals (DGS&D) in the Department of Supplies under the Ministry of Commerce, the central purchase and quality assurance organisation of the Union Government, has approved the Accent GLE for use by all government departments across the country, it added.
SEBI to act against unregistered Art Funds
Mumbai, February 13 The regulator, in a statement, warned that the launching of Art Funds or schemes without obtaining registration amounts to violation and it could take civil or criminal actions against the erring funds. Market sources said there are no estimates available on the number of art schemes in the market or the quantum of funds collected. Art funds typically operate by pooling in money from select investors and use it to buy art objects that have huge appreciation potential in a short period of time. The art objects market is, however, unorganised.
Sound fiscal policy needed to combat global crisis: IMF chief
New Delhi, February 13 Emerging market economies are not immune to the current global financial turbulence, though the impact of the turmoil that originated in the US may vary in the case of economies of large countries such as India and China. The IMF boss rubbished the notion that Asias fast-emerging economies - including India and China - had decoupled from the West and would remain immune to the aftershocks of the US sub-prime loans crisis. Strauss-Kahn dismissed the view that growth in major emerging economies like China and India can continue to move forward without the large industrial countries. The industrial and emerging economies are more like two horses yoked together. If one is tired, the other can take up more of the strain for a while. But if one stops in its tracks neither is going to get very far. Sustained strong growth in the emerging economies has been based in part on stronger policy frameworks. But it has also been based on gains from trade and financial integration in the global economy. This is true of India as well as other emerging economies, he said. India should go in for medium-term fiscal consolidation to combat the macro-economic effects of the global downturn, which is slowly spreading to the emerging economies, was the prescription given by the IMF boss, while addressing the ICRIER seminar on lessons from the financial market crisis. India has experienced very large capital inflows since the sub-prime crisis but there could also be a reversal of inflows, if there is a general retreat from risk by global investors, the IMF boss cautioned. Emerging economies like India could consider how they would respond to a downturn in the worlds largest economy - how much scope there is for monetary easing in some countries, how much scope there is for a fiscal stimulus in others and some emerging economies could already begin thinking about the design of a fiscal package. Major central banks are helping in providing liquidity and monetary easing while continuing to stabilise inflation expectations and added that governments would need to deploy fiscal policies, the IMF boss said. All emerging markets should build regulatory capacities to safeguard against the risks associated with non-transparent instruments and excesses in lending, he said. Emerging markets must now collaborate with industrial countries in the macroeconomic and regulatory policy response as it offers the best hope for ensuring stability of the global economy, he said. |

THz radiation from two electron-beams interaction within a bi-grating and a sub-wavelength holes array composite sandwich structure |
Optics Express, Vol. 21, Issue 19, pp. 21951-21960 (2013)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1428 KB)
Two electron-beams' interaction in a sandwich structure composed of a bi-grating and a sub-wavelength holes array is suggested to generate THz radiation in this paper. It shows that this system takes advantage of both bi-grating and sub-wavelength holes array structures. The results demonstrate that surface waves on a bi-grating can couple with mimicking surface plasmons of a sub-wavelength holes array so that the wave-coupling is strong and the field intensity is high in this structure. Moreover, compared with the interaction in the bi-grating structure and sub-wavelength holes array structure, respectively, it shows that in this composite system the two electron-beams' interaction is more efficient and the modulation depth and radiation intensity have been enhanced significantly. The modulation depth and efficiency can reach 22% and 4%, respectively, and the starting current density is only 12 A/cm2. This radiation system may provide good opportunities for development of multi-electron beam-driven THz radiation sources.

The Big Review: Area 31 ***1/2
This sexy spot on the 16th floor of the Epic Hotel is taking seafood to new heights.
On the 16th floor of the sexy new Epic Hotel, chef John Critchley is taking fin fare to a new level. None of the usual farm-raised salmon or sea bass here. One recent night, diners could choose red drum, mackerel, sepia, snapper, wahoo, corvina, mahi-mahi, lobster, dorade, shrimp, oyster, octopus or yellowfin tuna, all caught within the wide swath of waters designated as Area 31 by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.
Appetizers: Starters include raw dishes like a thinly sliced octopus in a summer frock of bright orange kumquat, flecks of juicy young coconut and hints of lemon grass accented with ribbons of fresh parsley. Salads like roasted beet with squares of avocado and earthy bits of pistachios or snappy Key West shrimp whipped into submission with Key lime and chiles are stunning.
Main course: The centerpiece of the menu is the grilled fish section, where guest pick their favorite fillet and a sauce that is then served in its simplest state. My favorite is the red drum, a rich and flavorful fish that we paired with a spicy salsa verde bursting with fresh-chopped herbs. A close second is the wahoo with a Sicilian salmoriglio sauce of lemon and oil.
Sides: Risottos are excellent, especially the side of Parmesan and wild mushroom, but also the mixed-seafood main course of shrimp, squid, clams, white fish and fresh chopped parsley.
Etc. … The wine list, chosen by master sommelier Emily Wines of San Francisco's Michelin-rated Fifth Floor restaurant, is another highlight. The many by-the-glass and half-bottle selections include thoughtful flights like the warm weather white tasting of young Chilean sauvignon blanc, a Ruffino pinot grigio and a Michel Torino torrontes.
We were told valet parking was free with a validation but paid $5 on each of our visits. Servers were less lively but utterly professional, though not always knowledgeable. Still, all were friendly and attentive throughout a long evening on the stunning terrace that overlooks downtown and makes you feel like you're in a real metropolis.
Area 31 at The Epic Hotel, 270 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305-424-5234; www.area31restaurant.com.; Hours: 7-10 a.m., 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m., 6-11 p.m.; Prices: Appetizers $8-$14, primi piatti $18-$23, secondi $25-$38, sides $5-$8, desserts $8.

Top New Zealand technology sites April 2010
And here is what Google Analytics tells me:
Looking at the % of New Zealand traffic reported by Google Analytics, it seems total Unique Visitors according to Google Analytics is about 38,661 - about 50% more than Nielsen is reporting...
PublicACTA Wellington Declaration now available, public invited to sign
The Wellington Declaration agreed by the PublicACTA Conference has now been released, and video coverage of the event will be made available as soon as possible.
The Declaration can be found online at http://www.publicacta.org.nz and members of the public can find a link to a petition where they can sign their support of the declaration.
"I urge everyone interested in protecting their digital rights online to sign this petition and endorse the Wellington Declaration," says Jordan Carter, a spokesperson for PublicACTA.
"The Wellington Declaration paints a broad picture of the need to limit ACTA to what it originally set out to do: tackle the problem of counterfeiting.
"It also makes some specific suggestions as to how the detailed provisions being negotiated in Wellington next week - that go far beyond counterfeiting - can be made more citizen-friendly.
"PublicACTA had over 100 people in attendance, and hundreds more observing the proceedings through a live video feed from many countries around the world. Keynote speakers included Professor Michael Geist from Canada, and Kimberlee Weatherall from Australia.
"The Declaration is a substantive and serious call on Governments to change their approach to ACTA. A discussion on ACTA is going on here on Geekzone.
Some New Zealand companies don't like user feedback
Worse still, it's a company dealing in the online world. I can't even mention their name here otherwise I might get sued too.
This is the problem with defamation laws in New Zealand... Even if you are posting about something with accurate facts you still risk getting sued.
Unbelievable. These people should go read the Cluetrain Manifesto, even if ten years too late.
What is wrong with TiVo in New Zealand?
What we suspected for some time is real: TiVo sales in New Zealand are disappointing. The New Zealand Herald reports industry sources saying only 2,000 TiVo units were sold in New Zealand since launch, about five months ago. Hybrid TV, the local distributor, of course says this figure is not accurate but won't disclose the real numbers. At launch Hybrid TV planned to sell 120,000 TiVo within five years in New Zealand.
Compare this to Sky TV, which added about 6,700 new subscribers per month for the six months to December 2009. That includes having to pay a subscribption for the services, which are free with TiVo.
Now let's see the problems:
TiVo is only available through Telecom New Zealand stores. People don't buy TV sets or content boxes at Telecom stores - there needs to be a shift of tectonic proportions for this to happen. People go there to buy phones. Until Hybrid TV sells TiVo through HB Hi-Fi, Dick Smith, Noel Leemings, Harvey Normam there will be no chance for them.
Then TiVo offers Caspa, a legal movie download service. The service gives users unmetered download of purchased content. At 1.2GB for a two hour movie the unmetered download is a great idea. But it is only available if you use Telecom New Zealand as your ISP. Hybrid TV should offer Caspa to anyone and everyone. It will use 1.2GB of one's Internet connection to download a movie. Live with it. I do this all the time with Apple iTunes. If they can offer unmetered through Telecom New Zealand, fine. But don't limit consumers to that only ISP.
Next is the lack of Prime and Maori TV EPG. I don't blame Hybrid TV too much on that, it might be the people on the other side playing dead. I mean if I don't see Prime on my EPG I don't watch Prime. As easy as that.
Then comes support. From what read on Geekzone people have very bad experience with their support being inexperienced or not having answers. I can't attest to that, since I never had to use their support.
Lastly their desktop application. What an absolute piece of software (PoS). I have a TiVo review unit here, and I couldn't get any of my own content from my desktop or Windows Home Server into TiVo - either too slow to copy or not copied at all to the box. Worst user experience ever.
The TiVo experience on the TV is quite nice and I am sure users would quickly get used to that. But the whole package is broken and until Hybrid TV fixes these things TiVo won't be a third option between Sky and myFreeview|HD.
UPDATE Another thing that's wrong with TiVo in New Zealand: just read the comments below and you will see someone who doesn't know if TiVo is HD or not, and if it's DVB-T (Terrestrial) or DVB-S (Satellite). A lot of people probably thinks TiVo is a service on its own right, without realising it requires Freeview|HD coverage.
UPDATE July 2010: The Caspa On Demand service is no longer exclusive to Telecom New Zealand subscribers and can now be accessed by all users. Telecom New Zealand remains the only unmetered ISP partner though.
What mobile device to get?
[ ] Apple iPhone
[ ] Symbian
[ ] Windows Mobile
[ ] Windows Phone 7
[ ] Palm Web OS
[X] Android
[ ] Maemo
Some comments:
- Windows Mobile is on its way out and nothing will really turn it around anymore;
- I haven't personally played with Windows Phone 7 but I don't like anything I've seen so far - Microsoft needs to give us a good surprise because my hopes are low;
- By the end of the year Symbian is going to power low end smartphones, or very high end feature phones;
- Palm is going to die very soon;
- Maemo gives me the impression of being is a good platform, from the little I've been playing with in the last few days - but lack of software will be a problem. MeeGo (Nokia and Intel) should get a lot of attention from the companies behind the effort (Nokia and Intel) but it will take some time to happen;
- Android is where things will be hot, but the fragmentation worries me - the platform may end up going the way of Windows Mobile with so many different models.
What do you see in the future for smart handsets? What platform you think will go up or down, and why?
The Nokia N900 arrives in Australia, New Zealand waits
Earlier this week I went to Sydney to attend the Nokia Forum Developer Conference 2010, invited by Nokia Australia/New Zealand. I have to say it was my first event with Nokia and it was interesting to see 300 developers discussing the current state and future of Nokia's smartphone strategy.
Present at the event were Emile Baak, Managing Director Nokia Australia and New Zealand, Purnina Kochikar, Vice Pesident Forum Nokia and Developer Community, Jan Ole Suhr, Founder of Mobileways.de and developer of Twitter client Gravitiy for Symbian.
Being a developer conference the push was obviously about creating content and applications that get the customers to enjoy their devices - and buy those little bits of magic called software and content. Nokia says there are more than 1 million downloads every day from their Ovi software store, which is now available in 180 countries, with integrated mobile operator billing in partnership with 60 operators.
It is obvious Nokia is pushing the QT application and UI framework, seeing it's cross platform (Symbian, Maemo, desktop) which would allow developers to scale their efforts even more. The company also said their main commitments are "increase total addressable market", "commit to open source", "combine mobile and web technologies" and "lower entry barrier to developers".
Jan explained how a one man company created one of the most used Symbian software these days, #5 in the top apps in Australia. He recommended developers try their software in different handset models to get the real "feel" - which is interesting because Nokia gave one N97 Mini to a lucky developer, when I thought they should have distributed those to everyone in the room, like Google did at MWC with their Google Nexus One.
Nokia gave some numbers too. For example in the last quarter Symbian represented 44% of smartphone shipments in the world, with BlackBerry behind at 20%, Apple iPhone in third with 12.8%, Android with 7.2%, Windows Mobile 7.2% and then the rest - which I guess is Palm and other Linux-based smartphones we never hear of.
But really, the question in the back of my mind is "will Symbian turn into a entry level smartphone OS, or will it be sold as a upmarket feature phone OS?". Only time - and Nokia's efforts will tell. Nokia counts more than one million daily downloads from their online application store, but how many more people have no idea their phones are actually "smart"?
Here is an update from Nokia on this: "We have multiple platforms to serve different purposes and address different markets. Symbian is more successful than ever in bringing smartphones to the masses: it has more than 40 per cent of the global smartphone market. Symbian is our choice for smartphones and we in fact see it deploying even more widely as the technology required to run it trickles down through the portfolio."
The Nokia Forum is running the Calling All Innovators competition, now in its third year. Prizes are US$30,000 for 1st spot, US$15,000 for second and US$5,000 to third - this is for each of the four categories. So far there are 27 Australian entries and six New Zealand entries.
In the afternoon Nokia hosted a press event to introduce the press to a couple of things. First was the MeeGo initiative with Intel announced last month, that will see joint efforts from these companies to develop a product based on both Maemo and Moblin platforms. And then the Nokia N900 Maemo 5 smartphone/tablet computer release for Australia, which will see the device available in stores soon. There isn't a release date for New Zealand yet though.
Nokia couldn't say which operators would carry the device, but seeing the Nokia N900 is a 900/2100MHz 3G device it won't work on Telstra NextG network. And it won't work on Telecom New Zealand XT network either. This is a bummer because everyone at the press event received a loaner Nokia N900 and I mainly use Telecom XT. I am using the loaner device here in New Zealand with a 2degrees SIM card, and it works really well on that network.
Which also brings us to the "review" side of the thing. I got the device on Tuesday, and Nokia confirmed I have it for a couple of weeks. I can say though so far that it's a very clever device, fast and had quite some fun using it - installing new applications, finding some features, etc. It worked flawlessly with my Microsoft BPOS Exchange account and in a matter of minutes I had my emails, contacts, calendar all synchronised over-the-air.
Because I haven't had that much time with it yet, I suggest you read what other Geekzone users are talking about it - a few people in our community bought the Nokia N900 as soon as it was released in Europe and the U.S. a couple of months ago so there are some knowledge on how it works, what to expect, etc. Check this very good Nokia N900 review, and follow the discussion in our Nokia N900 users thread. I will post my own review later.
Now for the "facepalm" moment... Some "journalist" present at the press event commented after seeing the Nokia N900 is a combined touchscreen and slider device: "You [Nokia] have no presence in the smartphone market at all. It's been proven by Apple that people want touchscreen devices, so why do you enter the smartphone market with this device?"
ISP Filtering is happening in Australia, don't let it happen here
This is a screenshot of his website today (click for a larger version):
Notice on the right hand sidebar a "tag cloud" with the most discussed topics on that site. Now let's look behind the scenes on the code used to create that "tag cloud":
Oh, look... If the topic is "ISP Filtering" then the Hon. Stephen Conroy doesn't want you to know about it. You can still click on any tag though, go to the search page and enter the term "ISP Filtering" to find the content you want, but obviously there shouldn't be any hint that such a topic exists.
Now you understand why I think we shouldn't have a national Internet filter in New Zealand. You don't know for sure if any future government would change the rules behind the scenes.
(By the way, I hope using the website as an example don't put me on a "persona non grata" list in Australia...)
Disappointing Twitter response in a serious harassment case
Those posts were very personal and abusive, including names of employees and some very sick comments.
However Twitter support failed to recognise this as a threat and replied with a canned response to those who submitted a support ticket:
What a Twitter #fail. I just hope Telecom New Zealand notify the police, and spend some of its lawyers' time to pursue this further.
Shame on you Twitter.
UPDATE: After some review, the appropriate Twitter team decided to remove that account. Thanks to all involved, and Twitter for reviewing it.
Defamation, harassement on Twitter
Folks, there's someone on Twitter who doesn't know better and is currently on a harassment campaign against Telecom employees.
The tweets are of a personal nature (including comments on female employees and of a sexual nature), highly NSFW.
While I firmly support people criticising a company, I think it's wrong to make it personal and go on employees and their personal lives. I also think it's wrong to make it behind anonymous comments.
If you are a Twitter user, could you please visit http://twitter.com/deadcaseyjohnsn and click the REPORT SPAM link?
Note I am not giving a link here because that page doesn't need Google juice. Also note all tweets are highly NSFW - even the mild ones.
Impound Reynold's Passport blog post on TUANZ
TUANZ blog post of the day says "Impound Reynold's Passport", and Ernie asks the government to retain Telecom New Zealand CEO Paul Reynold's in the country.
IANAL, but aside from the fact that no legitimate government would ever keep a foreign citizen's passport with no legal grounds and a judicial order issued on the breach of some law, the headline is sensationalist at best.
But then Ernie continues "Reynolds' handling of the crisis this week has been magnificent. He's fronted this issue at every step. He's been direct and honest. He's shown very genuine empathy in talking about the inconvenience, distress and cost the issues have imposed on customers. He hasn't ducked the questions - he's answered, fully and from the heart, every time."
Yes, I agree with that sentence. But that headline asking the government to retain someone in the country - the equivalent of arresting someone - without legal proceedings?
Seriously? As I said, a sensationalist headline. When I read it on my RSS reader I thought "surely not"? I understand it's more of a "he's doing a good job, keep him here" and not a "XT is fubar, keep him here"...

Huarache (food)
Huarache (sometimes spelled guarache) wa'ɾatʃe (help·info) is a popular Mexican dish consisting of an oblong, fried masa base, with a variety of toppings including green or red salsa, onions, potato, cilantro and any manner of protein such as ground beef or tongue, and then finished with queso fresco cheese.[1] This dish is most popular in its hometown, Mexico City. The dish is also sold in cities with Mexican-American populations such as Chicago, New York, San Francisco, San Antonio, or Houston, but have yet to become widely available across the entire United States.[2]
The name "Huarache" is derived from the shape of the masa, similar to the popular sandals of the same name. The word Huarache is originally from Purepecha (Tarascan)[3] and the Nahuatl word for huarache is kwarachi. Huaraches are similar to sopes but differ in shape.[4]
Huaraches originated in Mexico City in about the early 1930s. Their origin was related with a stall at the shore of the La Viga navigation channel, where Mrs. Carmen Gomez Medina prepared tlacoyos.[5] When the La Viga navigation channel was covered to make the "Calzada de la Viga", Mrs. Gomez moved to another place and after 1957, when the Mercado de Jamaica was founded, she moved there and then to a little place at the Torno street. Because of the shape of the new "invention" of Mrs. Gomez was different of a sope or a tlacoyo, the people started to call it "huarache".

Lauren Schwartzman is relaxing into perfection.
As Missouri intensifies its efforts for precisely pointed toes, stuck landings and smiling showmanship, Schwartzman has found herself easing out of superstitions.
She always eats Parmesan chicken the night before meets, wears the same pair of socks on meet days and styles her hair the same way, down to the order of the rubber bands holding it in place.
In the postseason, though, Schwartzman found herself coloring her hair and not worrying about whether her preferred premeet meal is on the menu at away meets.
"I'm not really as bad now as I was as at the beginning of the season," Schwartzman said. "I've realized it's not the things that happen before the meet, it's the things I do at the meet that count."
Schwartzman, the Big 12 Conference balance beam champion, hopes to place individually at Saturday's Northeast Regional Championship in University Park, Pa., at 6 p.m. Although she and Alisha Robinson have the best chance to place as individuals, their hopes are pinned primarily on the team.
No. 16 Missouri is focused on qualifying for the NCAA national championship as a team. To do so, it will need to place first or second at what is possibly the toughest regional.
"I think, and I think most coaches would agree, that it's the toughest of the six regionals," Missouri coach Rob Drass said. "But we really feel good about our capabilities and our chances of moving on."
The Tigers are seeded third, behind No. 4 Georgia and No. 9 Iowa, which defeated the Tigers at Hearnes Center 196.3-195.350 on Jan. 11.
"We know that unless Georgia has some pretty big mistakes we're not going to beat them," Schwartzman said. "But on any day, any team can be better than anyone else. Hopefully on Saturday it would be nice if myself as well as my team could be better than everyone else."
Except for possible surprises on vault, the Tigers will likely keep their lineups similar to what they were at the Big 12 Championships, where MU placed third, five-tenths of a point behind Iowa Sate.
Drass has kept Lindsay Davis, 2003 Big 12 vaulting champion, out of the vaulting lineup all season, but said he is considering inserting her into the lineup instead of Katie Roets, who has appeared regularly.
"There may be one or two changes just to really get the athletes that are the healthiest, most confident and really hitting the most cylinders right now in the lineup," Drass said.
Vault is the Tigers' strongest event, on which they rank No. 15. The everyday lineup, which includes Robinson, specialist Whitney Crater and Schwartzman, has scored a 9.8 or above on 45 of 52 vaults.
"Everybody plays a role, and what it comes down to is five great routines on each event," Drass said.
