RuleML-2007 is a new international meeting place for users, system providers, practitioners, developers, researchers and representatives of rule/event standardization efforts and open source rule communities to discuss the applicability and commercialization of rule technologies for enterprises and public organizations including event-handling rules.
Co-located with the 10th International Business Rules Forum (http://www.businessrulesforum.com), the International Symposium on Rule Interchange and Applications (RuleML-2007) is the first symposium devoted to work on practical distributed rule/event technologies and rule/event-based applications which need language standards for rules operating in the context of, e.g., the Semantic Web, Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems, Event-Driven Architectures and Service-Oriented Computing.
Participants will be offered an exciting venue to exchange new ideas, practical developments and their experience on issues related to the engineering, management, integration, interoperation and interchange of rules and events in enterprise application systems and open distributed environments such as the Web. RuleML-2007 will also enable delegates to better understand rules and event processing technologies and their potential, and how to exploit these technologies in their organizations.
The symposium will be held in Orlando, Florida, US, October 25/26, 2007 and will feature scientific research, industry, and demo papers and presentations, case study and practical experience presentations, show cases/demos presented in a RuleML-2007 Challenge and Invited Talks.
Symposium general chair Said Tabet, Inferware Corp., said "I am very pleased to announce the launch of this symposium. After a series of successful RuleML workshops and conferences, this is a new kind of event where the Web Logic community joins the established, practically oriented Forum of the Business Rules community to help cross-fertilizing between Web and Business Logic technology. Given the increasing maturity of rules and complex event processing technology, the RuleML symposium is an exciting venue to exchange new ideas, practical developments and your experience on issues related to the engineering, deployment, management, integration, interoperation and interchange of rules, and to discuss the commercial benefits that rules and event processing technology will deliver."

While our parents were ducking and covering in the US, singing the praises of Howdy freakin' Doody to ward off the evils of communism, in East Germany at least, those same commie bastards were cranking out some mighty fine-looking toys.
Gunther Hohne's book about the unique, ideologically driven, pragmatic modernism of post-war design in the GDR was just published knocked off? by Taschen. On his website, meanwhile, is a giant archive of GDR product, architecture, and graphic design by people who are only now being rewritten into history.
The awesome factory/steel mill block set above, for example, was created by Ernst Rudolph Vogenauer [google translation], a one-time propaganda poster designer and an influential design teacher in Berlin from the late 40's into the 60's.
And this beautiful toy stable is from... I don't know, but it makes me want a sew a balloon out of raincoats and float over the wall to get one. The non-wooden toys? Well, I think The West still wins on that front.

So will this be done with the Use/Interact button or the Alt-Fire?
This mod will evolve your Max Payne 2 experience to a whole new level, one step closer to its successor Max Payne 3. With new models, weapons, animations, graphic effects, sounds, particles, and so on this mod will improve your good old Max Payne 2 to make it shine again in the next generation gaming.
So will this be done with the Use/Interact button or the Alt-Fire?
The same key that you use to talk or push buttons etc. ;)
Looking really good, The_Silver! :D What will the enemy's head look like if killed with a shotgun?
So that mean, you hold any type of two handed weapons , i can use Takedown right ? And one more thing, in time use Takedown, Max will in Bullet Time ??? Or slow down times. ??? :D
No slowmotion or bullettime, executions always happen in real time, and Max will use the the rifle or the pistol he currently have in hands (sawnoff too :D).
So no disarms like that as you could in Max Payne 3?
Exactly, it's a takedown, period. :P
Hi can you make the player to hide after things:)sorry for my English
You mean Take cover? Sadly the MP2 engine isn't made for that, sorry.
It have the cover system in Max Effect 3 already.
In Payne Effects 3, you could cover behind things. But it was just a pose, not as complex as Cover systems in OTS games.
Below you :) Sorry i was type wrong.
payne: so here i was about to execute this poor bastard. lol
When holding a two handed weapon and pressing the Use/Takedown key while facing an enemy Max will perform this takedown, he will stun the enemy with the stock of the rifle and execute him with an headshot while he is grounded and realising his fatal destiny.

The Nordic Maintenance Care Program: when do chiropractors recommend secondary and tertiary preventive care for low back pain?
1 The Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden
2 Private practice, Stockholm, Sweden
3 Private practice, Lund, Sweden
4 Private practice, Linköping, Sweden
5 Nordic Institute for Chiropractic and Clinical Biomechanics, Part of Clinical Locomotion Science, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark
Chiropractic & Osteopathy 2009, 17:1 doi:10.1186/1746-1340-17-1
Published: 22 January 2009Abstract
Among chiropractors the use of long-term treatment is common, often referred to as "maintenance care". Although no generally accepted definition exists, the term has a self-explanatory meaning to chiropractic clinicians. In public health terms, maintenance care can be considered as both secondary and tertiary preventive care. The objective of this study was to explore what factors chiropractors consider before recommending maintenance care to patients with low back pain (LBP).
Structured focus group discussions with Swedish chiropractors were used to discuss pre-defined cases. A questionnaire was then designed on the basis of the information obtained. In the questionnaire, respondents were asked to grade the importance of several factors when considering recommending maintenance care to a patient. The grading was done on a straight line ranging from "Very important" to "Not at all important". All members of the Swedish Chiropractors' Association (SCA) were invited to participate in the discussions and in the questionnaire survey.
Thirty-six (22%) of SCA members participated in the group discussions and 129 (77%) returned the questionnaires. Ninety-eight percent of the questionnaire respondents claimed to believe that chiropractic care can prevent future relapses of back pain. According to the group discussions tertiary preventive care would be considered appropriate when a patient improves by 75% or more. According to the results of the questionnaire survey, two factors were considered as "very important" by more than 70% of the respondents in recommending secondary preventive care, namely frequency past year and frequency past 10 years of the low back pain problem. Eight other factors were considered "very important" by 50–69% of the respondents, namely duration (over the past year and of the present attack), treatment (effect and durability), lifestyle, work conditions, and psychosocial factors (including attitude).
The vast majority of our respondents believe that chiropractic treatment can prevent relapses of back pain. When recommending secondary preventive care, past frequency of the problem is considered. For tertiary preventive care, the patient needs to improve considerably before a recommendation of maintenance care is made.

I love desserts and because I often eat sweets, I prefer them raw. We all know that all sweets are high in calories, but making mostly raw desserts makes me feel good and guilt-free; this way I know I get plenty of vitamins, minerals and other great nutrients and so I ignore the calories.
Another thing I love about raw desserts is that they're so easy to make! This took me less than 5 minutes, excluding the time required for soaking and freezing.
- 1 cup almonds, soaked for at least 2 hours
- 1 cup walnuts, soaked for at least 2 hours
- 1 cup dry cranberries, soaked for at least 2 hours
- ½ cup cocoa (it is best to use raw cocoa if you have; you can substitute cocoa with carob powder)
- 2 tbsp honey (or any other healthy sweetener)
- Add all ingredients in the food processor and blend well until you get a smooth, sticky paste.
- Place this paste in any form youâd like. Be sure to cover it with a plastic wrap before adding the paste, this way it will be easier to take it out of the form after refrigerated.
- Place in freezer for one hour then move it in the fridge.
- Enjoy! Youâll absolutely love this simple, healthy and delicious recipe!

Sheila rules out rollback, defends privatisation of power in Capital
New Delhi, August 26 Addressing a press
conference today, Ms Dikshit said various issues pertaining to the
power sector have resulted in some degree of confusion on issues such as
hike in power tariff, payment of bills and performance of Discoms, but I
would like to mention that the situation has considerably improved after
privatisation. According to Ms Dikshit, after privatisation,
AT&C losses have come down from over 50 per cent three years ago to
about less than 40 per cent currently. Similarly, load shedding which
was to the tune of 3 per cent has come down to about .85 per cent, she
said. However, she added, the government was fully aware that there
have been some slippages on part of the Discoms and the grievances of
the consumers. We have pulled up the concerned Discoms accordingly
and restrained them from time to time to avoid any complacency on their
part, she said. She said that the Delhi Electricity Regulatory
Commission (DERC) has followed a due procedure in tariff hike and it was
not done overnight. This was done mainly to improve the power situation
in the future. Even the DERC scrutinized the demands of the Discoms and
paid them only whatever was needed for improving the infrastructure, Ms
Dikshit added. After privatisation, there was no tariff increase in the
year 2002-03, five per cent increase in 2003-04 and 10 per cent in
2004-05. Thus against assumed over all tariff increase of 40 per cent up
to 2005-06, the increase has been only about 23 per cent, she
said. Stopping short of criticising the report of the Parliamentary
Standing Committee on Energy, she said her government would give its
point by point rebuttal before the Monsoon Session ends on August 30.
The reply would also be sent to the Union Power Ministry, she added
addressing mediapersons here. The Delhi Government was never called
and asked for any explanation by the committee, she said. Unfazed by
mounting criticism against hike in tariff, she said the increase was in
the long term interest of the people and her government would not
indulge in a short term gain by seeking reduction in
tariff. Sometimes one has to swallow a bitter pill for a better
future, she said. Ms Dikshit also informed that over 99 per cent
consumers have paid in accordance with the current tariff structure as
reported by the Discoms. I would like to appeal to the people of
Delhi to cooperate with the government in true spirit of Bhagidari and
pay their bills as required by law. Further delay would only result in
accumulation of losses and penalties, she cautioned. According to Ms
Dikshit, the Government of India had promised to provide Rs 473.23 crore
under APDRP but has released only Rs 105.51 crore. If the funds had
been released under APDRP, then there would have been much lesser impact
on consumer tariff, she added. Regarding improvement in efficiency
gains, she said the reduction in AT&C losses the Discoms have
already achieved the target. The government had taken a conscious
decision not to give subsidy and so the increase in power tariff became
the only option to meet the Annual Revenue Requirement of Discoms. |
Even CMs visit does nothing to improve roads
Faridabad, August 26 The 18-km-long stretch between Ballabhgarh town and Mothuka village, where Mr Hooda laid the foundation stone of one of the largest power plants of the state yesterday, is in a bad shape. It took around one hour to travel on this stretch as a major part of the road which traverses through at least half a dozen villages had been potholed and was in a rough state though the authorities concerned had done some patchup work and sprayed water to contain the dust. While a large number of policemen had been posted along the road, the officials concerned had stopped the movement of heavy traffic for several hours to avoid a jam. Some patches of the road had been laid with sand and the work of cleaning went on till the last moment. Commenting upon the development, a resident of a village on this road said that instead of providing a cemented or tarcoal layer, which had been the demand for many years, the officials had put sand on the heavily damaged spots. It showed the level of preparation of the authorities with regard to welcoming Mr Hooda during his first visit to Ballabhagrh constituency. He claimed that the work of repairing the roads in the tenure of previous Chief Ministers had been far better. Shyam, a resident of Dayalpur, said the authorities had always ignored the demand of the villagers to widen the bridge over the Gurgaon canal which separates Ballabhgarh town with the villages. He said this bridge had been too narrow and accidents occurred here frequently as two vehicles from opposite directions could not cross it simultaneously. This resulted in traffic jams and chaos in view of the heavy traffic. He said they had expected that the authorities would re-lay the roads but even the visit of the CM could not do this. A journalist who went to cover the function at Mothuka said mismanagement and chaos at the function resulted in difficulty for the mediapersons as outsiders had taken over the seats meant for them. To make matters worse, the police did not let the media take their vehicles to the spot and they felt helpless as the police did not allow them even to leave the place before the CM and his cavalcade after the function had ended. Meanwhile, the condition of roads in various sectors remained the same even after several days of the announcement made by the CM that the roads would be repaired at a fast pace. The roads in Sectors 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 16, 15-A, 17, 19, 28, 31, 37 and in parts of NIT and Ballabhgarh are in poor shape. It is impossible to travel on them as they have huge craters on them, claimed Mr Suresh Kaushik, a social activist based here. He said these roads turned into pools after a spell of rain. He said the authorities had been too slow in taking up repair work though there had been no rain in the past fortnight. |
Committee slams DERC for power tariff raise
New Delhi, August 26 It is learnt DERC has sanctioned tariff hike to BSES and Tatas without Tatas (NDPL) asking for the same, as they were able to manage at the same rates. This is indeed surprising, as consumers under Tatas are sufferers for no reason Government must intervene and restrain power of DERC and investigate the same in Delhi and SERCs elsewhere, the panel headed by Gurudas Kamat said in its hard-hitting report. Taking a serious note of fast-running meters installed by private discoms in the city, besides failure to reduce transmission and distribution losses and the steep tariff hike, the panel said: If similar trends continue in future and private discoms are not able to produce the desired results after using cheap APDRP funds, the government should seriously consider to exclude them from providing financial assistance under APDRP. The committee said since funds under APDRP were given by the government, it was its duty to ensure that these were properly utilised and benefits reached the consumers. Coming down heavily on the issue of tariff hike, the Committee observed with serious concern that the recent hike in rates had brought the public on the roads. The Committee is surprised to note that these private discoms have neither shown any tangible results even after using cheaper government funds under APDRP, nor these private players have passed on any benefit to consumers, the Standing Committee on Energy said in the report tabled in Parliament. The Committee also took a grim view on the issue of replacement of meters in Delhi saying discoms have replaced the earlier consumer meters with fast running meters and are regularly hiking the tariffs, thus increasing the woes of the consumers. The position regarding availability, quality and reliability of power to consumers has also not shown any improvement, it said. Still more alarming is the fact that the financial losses of utilities in Delhi have increased from Rs 733 crore in 2002-03 to Rs 1,774 crore in 2003-04, the report added. BSES and NDPL have already used APDRP fund of Rs 105.51 crore to strengthen their power distribution system out of Rs 473.23 crore of APDRP cost. But the results are not at all impressive, the Committee noted. |
Govt acquires 470 acres land for allocation
New Delhi, August 26 A new policy is being formulated wherein entrepreneurs who have been operating units since 1990 but have not been allotted land due to scarcity would be provided land at the earliest. Mr Singhal said that parameters are being defined so that those applicants who had applied for land in 1996 and made initial payment of 10 per cent of the cost be allotted land on priority. A notification in this regard is being issued from Land and Building Department, Mr Singhal said. After clearance of pending application of allotment of land, the government is considering setting up a special export zone with facilities provided to exporting units and support both from central and state governments. The minister said that 17 Industrial Estates in non-conforming areas shall be regularized soon. As the Master Plan 2021 provides for acquisition of more land for industrial usage, the government would soon initiate the exercise for acquisition and effective allotment of land. Responding to the conditions of industrial estates in Delhi, Mr Singhal said that many industrial areas match international standards and do not have any problem of water, power etc. He cited the example of Bawana Industrial Estate in this regard. For the remaining, he said that the industrial units should help in maintaining the industrial estates. The minister announced that the central government had allocated Rs 50 crore for SSI cluster development in industrial estates herein 75 per cent of the money would be given by the central government, 10 per cent by Delhi Government and the remaining 15 per cent would be contributed by units in the cluster. In response to the concern raised by Mr K N Memani, President, PHDCCI regarding shifting of industry out of Delhi, Mr Singhal said, We dont want industry to shift from Delhi. In fact, we want more and more SSIs to come to Delhi. However, pollution norms must be adhered to by all these units, Mr Singhal said. For household industries, he said that Delhi Government has directed MCD to give license to units using a maximum of 5 KV of power and employing not more than 5 workers and are pollution free. Regarding the compensation from central government post VAT implementation, the minister said We have already mopped up Rs 1500 crores as VAT in first 5 months and I am confident that we will be able to garner Rs 8-10,000 crore of revenue by the year end. Regarding the issue of recent power hike and resistance shown by all sections of the society, he said that since the private power distribution companies have started showing profits, the power tariff would be reduced from next year. Mr S C Poddar, Secretary-cum-Commissioner of Industries, NCT of Delhi, in his remarks said that the conditions of industrial estates were far from satisfactory. He called for developing a sustainable system for maintenance of these estates. In this regard, he called for a partnership model between the government and industry. He further said that steps shall be taken to minimize the interference of inspectors running the industry particularly the small scale sector. Earlier, Mr Ashok Kapoor, Chairman, SME Committee, PHDCCI in his welcome remarks said that plethora of regulatory approvals and long-drawn procedures prohibit the prospective and existing small-scale entrepreneurs for availing the facilities and concessions offered by the government. Even the single window concept has not been able to deliver the desired results. The absence of entrepreneur-friendly environment/attitude surely dampens the enthusiasm of prospective entrepreneurs. Mr Sudarshan Sareen, Chairman, SIB Helpline, PHDCCI said that the visits of inspectors to industrial units is a cause for harassment. It is beyond imagination as to how the future of SSI is expected to deliver goods with hassles of 57 types of inspectors and 158 forms of diverse types in order to register with various authorities. |
Cops deployed to protect power stations
Ghaziabad, August 26 With
UnparaObras 400 KV units snapping in the afternoon, these power houses, generating 1400 MW power, suddenly ground to a halt, precipitating a crisis in the state. The five power plants in the state are generating 2100 MW power and with power generation in both the Obra and Unpara power houses coming to a halt, all other lines also got affected. As a result, the state was rendered powerless. In Ghaziabad, people in Nati
Jatan, Vijay Nagar, Shalimar Garden, Surya Nagar, Partap Vihar, Loni and Murad Nagar had gheraoed power substations. But before the situation could get out of control, policemen were rushed to protect the powerhouses from damage. A 300-strong mob had surrounded the powerhouse, which had previously also been damaged, in the afternoon in Partap Vihar, H-Block, Sector 11, 12, Charan Singh Colony, Mata Colony,
Kailashpuri. In Partap Vihar, the police contingent reached just in time when a livid mob was thinking of torching the power station. Police had been deployed at power stations till late at night. In
trans-Hindon areas, where power supply is already very poor, people were worked up with the lack of power in the hot and sultry weather. Residents of Brij Vihar and Rampuri had surrounded the Surya Nagar substation and blocked traffic at Brij Vihar over the bridge. In front of the Shalimar Garden powerhouse, people staged a demonstration. Since the power situation in the area has become worse, UPPC officials are trying to save their skin from livid people. |
Civil servant on dharna at Jantar Mantar
New Delhi, August 26 Hemalata Pant, a 1975 batch civil services officer, has been sitting on a dharna for the past one week at Jantar Mantar with bag and baggage, demanding salary arrears from 1989 and a Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS). Ms. Pant says she was serving as Director in the Accounts section of the Department of Telecommunications in 1989 when she, on the verge of a promotion to senior administrative grade, was asked to provide a fitness certificate for mental health or face discontinuation from service. She pointed out that the department got her examined at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) and the report stated she was mentally unfit. Not subscribing to the report, Ms Pant then had a detailed examination conducted in London. The examination conducted at the Bowden House Clinic in UK in February 1991 put forth that there was no evidence to prove that she was suffering from a formal psychiatric illness. The department, however, did not accept this report, she alleged, adding that even though she opted for VRS in 1998, the department gave her Rs 1,275 plus Dearness Allowance per month and refused her the VRS and pension benefits. Subsequently, the department has evicted her from the government accommodation provided to her and now forced her to live on the streets, she alleged. |
Row over supply of VIP security vehicles continues
New Delhi, August 26 On August 10, it was agreed before the court by Jay Pee and Company, its rival Aman Services and Delhi Police that both the taxi operators would supply vehicles in the category for which their respective bids were the lowest. According to the courts suggestions agreed to by the Delhi Police and the two rival bidders, Aman Services was to get the contract for supply of Gypsy vehicles and Jay Pee and Company to supply Ambassador cars. The Bench had asked petitioner Aman Services and its rival Jay Pee and Company to file a joint application in this regard within 10 days. However, senior counsel P N Lekhi submitted on behalf of Jay Pee and Company that it was not ready to be a party to a joint application and wanted Aman Services petition to be decided on merit. The Bench asked Jay Pee and Company to file its reply to the petition filed by Aman Services within a week and the matter will now be taken up for hearing on September 21. Earlier, it had taken strong exception to the offer letter issued to Jay Pee and Company on August 4 for hiring of vehicles and summoned Joint Commissioner of Police (Security) for allegedly committing contempt of the court. Petitioners counsel R M Bagai had claimed that Jay Pee and Company did not fulfill the criteria for the contract as it had not furnished a bank guarantee. However, the court was placated after the Joint Commissioner admitted there was an error on the departments part. |
HC orders water-coolers for MCD schools
New Delhi, August 26 In a judgement, the High Court bench comprising Justice Vijender Jain and Justice Rekha Sharma has asked the MCD to utilise the money for installing water-coolers in the MCD schools. We had filed a petition for seeking compensation for the victims of the 1999 Lal Kuan fire that resulted in the death of 57 people and injury to 27 others. Following the courts order, the chemical traders and transporters who were directed to vacate the place collected over Rs 2 crore. It took two years to collect and disburse this amount. But 11 persons did not claim their compensation, said advocate Ashok Agarwal of the Social Jurists, who filed the petition. Bringing to the courts notice that an amount of Rs 6,31,602.18 has been lying unclaimed for the last two years, Social Jurists sought the courts permission to use the money. There was a division bench ruling in 1998, which directed the MCD to install water-coolers in all schools, which is yet to be complied with. So, we sought the courts intervention in using this money for fulfilling that need and the court readily accepted out proposal, said Mr Agarwal. Issuing the order, the court has also directed that a compliance report in this regard should be filed by the MCD within three months. We just wanted to make sure that the money does not lie unused and also prove to the MCD that the court has done what they have failed to do for years, said Mr Agarwal. |

Noida, August 26 Soon, suitable teachers would be positioned to impart physical and sports education to boys and girls in the educational institutions of the state. Special incentives for meritorious sportspersons had also been initiated Mr Garg said the Queens baton for the Millennium Commonwealth games, arriving in Delhi on September 13, would pass through Noida on September 15 on way to Agra.

It was considered a great privilege by sportspersons to be included in relay teams carrying the batons of Olympic, Commonwealth Games etc. The minister said the pension of state-level sportsmen had been increased from Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000. Those winning gold, silver and bronze medals at the national level would be paid Rs 3 lakh, Rs 2 lakh and Rs 1 lakh, respectively. |

Noida, August 26 The court, which is hearing a PIL filed by the Manav Sewa Samiti and others on the subject, fixed September 19 as the next date. These orders of the high court have created a commotion among the applicants who had submitted applications on behalf of minor members in the family and some of whom were declared successful in the draw. There are about 20 such cases in which both husband and wife had applied and some of them had been included in the list of successful applicants. Mr Justice B. S. Chauhan and Mr Justice Dilip Gupta ordered that a list of all eligible and non-eligible applicants should also be prepared. The court had sought from the Noida Authority and UP DESCO whether the applications received had been scrutinised carefully. When the Noida Authority and DESCO could not give a positive reply, the court ordered the Noida Authority to scrutinise the applications carefully and allowed it three weeks time.

Clashes, bogus voting mark 4th phase of polling
Noida, August 26 Two cars were also damaged in the stone pelting. As many as 24 persons from two warring groups were arrested. Habibpura village witnessed frequent stone pelting and clashes as a result of which 12 persons were injured. The clashes between the two groups were triggered by allegations of bogus voting. The 12 injured in stone pelting included a few cops on duty also. The police had to resort to a lathicharge quite frequently. Allegations of tampering with voters list were made, which resulted in supporters of one group taking on their adversaries. While there were quite a few stone pelting incidents in Habibpur and Sorakha villages, frequent clashes were witnessed in Dehlolepur, Garhi Chokhandi, Lakhanawali and Haldoni. Only in Sarfabad and Gijhode, which were considered more sensitive, the polling went on without any major problem. |

i was preparing to updating my wifes ipod 4g from 4.3.5 to 5.1.1. using Absinthe 2.0.4. and as per the guide, in step 2, it states to "erase all content and settings". now the ipod is stuck in the recovery mode and no matter what i try, i can not kick it out of the Recovery mode or put it into the DFU mode. can anyone help me to get the ipod back to normal or to a stat that i can JB it? thanks in advanced
Common mistake, doing the "erase all content and settings" option will delete everything. What you need to do is hold the home and power button for 10 seconds, and hold the home button for 15 seconds, now, if it worked you will have just a black screen, restore using iTunes, this will update it to iOS 5.1.1 Then you can use Absinthe to jailbreak it.
Thanks for the quick reply. I have done what you have suggested numerous times, but with no luck. The pod is in a continuos loop. Just showing the apple/greenpoison logo. It stays on there for upto 10min then goes to a white screen for a split second and resets its self and goes into the loop again. I've done the the normal google and YouTube search with no luck.
Hold the sleep and home button until the screen turns off, then immediately release the sleep button but keep holding home. If it doesn't work, try again but hold the sleep button a tad longer (a few milliseconds) before releasing it. Keep trying until you get it. It is always possible, trust me.
This happened to me not that long ago. Try restoring it in recovery mode. From what I know, you are stuck and cant get out.
***UPDATE*** i have finally got my wifes iPod to work...it took some time, but at least is now working. thanks to the suggestions guys. it got the ipod 50% working. the other 50% i had to figure out and google how to fix the error code 21. here's what i done. just in case someone ells is in the same situation as i was. 1. hold the power and home button down at the same time, this then reset the pod, but dont let go of the buttons, keep them pressed. this then resets the pod again but this time it puts the pod into the "recovery mode" (with the usb and itunes logo). 2. connect the pod to the computer and itunes recognises that the pod is in recovery mode. if the pod is not already jailbroken, itunes will then restore the pod to the latest firmware. if you pod has already been jailbocken (like mine was), then itunes will kick up an error. in my case, it was error 21. there are many different ways to fix this error found on google and youtube, but the easiest way, 3. disconnect the pod from the computer it was synced with, and connect it to another computer with the latest itunes installed. again, itunes will recognise that the pod is in recovery mode and inform you via a pop-up. click OK and click "Restore". this will then download and install the latest firmware and install it. 4. when the restore is complete, the pod should be back to as it was when it came out of the box, re-connect the pod to the original synced computer and you can do a "restore from back-up". the pod should now be fixed Please Register or Log in to view images
