The LA Galaxy confirmed on Monday that Landon Donovan will be attending the club's visit of the White House on Tuesday.
Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena told reporters last week that the team was planning on Donovan being in attendance. Donovan has been away from the club throughout the preseason as he took a self-imposed break from the game.
The Galaxy will be joined at the White House by the Los Angeles Kings, who are also owned by AEG. The ceremony at the White House is scheduled to begin at 10:35 a.m. PT followed by the "Let's Move" clinic, an event that will include children from Soccer for Success, America SCORES, and Hockey is for Everyone at 11:30 a.m. PT.
What are your thoughts on Donovan's return?

Monterrey will be without the services of starting goalkeepeer Jonathan Orozco for four to six weeks after the Monterrey 'keeper suffered an injury in training last week.
Last Tuesday, Orozco was felled by an injury in his right leg that was discovered to be a grade two muscle tear in the back of his thigh. With Orozco out, Monterrey has turned to Juan de Dios Ibarra in goal.
LA face Monterrey in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League Semifinals on April 3 at The Home Depot Center before traveling to Monterrey for the second leg on April 10.
The LA Galaxy U-19's started off their participation in Dallas Cup's Gordon Jago Super Group with a victory on Sunday as they battled back from a goal down to defeat German club Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1.
The Galaxy dominated the run of play from the outset, but went down in the 41st minute when a Frankfurt corner kick found the head of Luca Schnellbacher to put LA behind the Germans.
At the start of the second, LA began their comeback in the 60th minute when Paul Arriola lashed a right-footed strike past the Frankfurt goalkeeper to the Galaxy U-19's level. But LA saved the best for last in the 90th minute. LA earned a free kick near the edge of the box and Drew Murphy made the German club pay with a shot into the right corner of the net to seal the victory.
LA returns to action on Monday against Fulham FC at 10 a.m. PT.
The Football Association of Ireland announced on Sunday that LA Galaxy forward and Ireland captain Robbie Keane has been ruled out for Tuesday's World Cup qualifier against Austria in Dublin with a calf strain.
Keane had been awaiting the results of a scan of a calf strain suffered during Ireland's scoreless draw against Sweden on Friday. The Irish forward did not train on Sunday as he awaited the results of the scan. According to the tabloid Daily Mail, the scan showed "fresh damage" in the injury. Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has called up Wolverhampton forward Kevin Doyle to replace Keane on the squad.
Following Sunday's LA Galaxy victory over the Colorado Rapids, LA head coach Bruce Arena mentioned that the Galaxy may be looking to rest Keane during next week's match against Toronto FC. Granted this quote came before injury news for Keane became public.
"It'll be great to get Robbie back,' Arena told reporters. "I don't know if he's going to be ready to play against Toronto after this international spell. We'll have to see how he is when we get to D.C."
Thoughts on Keane's injury? Expect LA to rest him against Toronto as they turn their focus to the CCL Semifinals?

CARSON, Calif. -- This week the LA Galaxy first team will embark on their first trip of the season, a trip that includes a visit to the White House, but while they meet the President, the Galaxy Academy will face their own test as they take part in the prestigious Dallas Cup youth tournament in the Gordon Jago Super Group.
The Galaxy take an accomplished roster to Texas that includes the likes of Homegrown defender Oscar Sorto, defensive standouts like U-20 center back Javan Torre and goalkeeper Juan Cervantes as well midfielder wunderkinds Paul Arriola and Raul Mendiola, and forwards Justin Dhillon and Jaime Villarreal (brother of Jose Villarreal).
LA open tournament play on Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m. PT against German club Eintract Frankfurt at the Cotton Bowl. LA then takes on Fulham FC at 10 a.m. PT on March 25 at the University of Texas at Dallas campus before concluding group play on March 27 against defending Dallas Cup champions Coritiba FC at 2 p.m. PT on the campus of Richland College.
Ahead of Dallas Cup, Sorto and Torre discuss the tournament below...
SORTO: "It'll be something special. Leading the team against such hard teams is going to be a big test for me and I'm expecting a lot from my teammates. We're just training and since our opponents are from other countries, we're just training and getting ready. I'm positive with the team that we're taking because last year, we went to Spain and did an excellent job so I'm confident that we can do well again."
TORRE: "The tournament has been around for 34 years and has a lot of prestige and I'm just glad to be a part of us...[This tournament] will definitely help me as a player. It's just more experience at a high level and it's always good to get those games in. I think that playing in front of such a crowd gives you a lot to work for."
Remember, Time Warner Cable Deportes is broadcasting all nine Gordon Jago Super Group games being held at the Cotton Bowl including the semifinals and the finals of the tournament.

LAGalaxy.com's Paolo Ferrari was among those who caught up with goal scorer Mike Magee after the LA Galaxy's 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.
Check out the video below...
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy were dominant on both sides of the ball in Sunday's 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids, but without a red card by Colorado defender Drew Moor that led to an LA penalty kick by Mike Magee, the story could have been different.
The play occurred in the 48th minute when Moor appeared to elbow Sarvas during an off-the-ball challenge resulting in referee Armando Villarreal to give the defender a straight red card and call a penalty. Magee quickly stepped to take the penalty and launched it past 'keeper Clint Irwin for the game winner.
Following the match, Sarvas broke down what exactly happened on the play...
"It wasn't an elbow. It was a hand. He punched me. I have no idea; I have to see the replay. I don't know where it came from. [He] just hit my face and I fell down," said Sarvas. "I didn't say anything to him. He was just walking; I stopped in front of him. I don't know, he probably lost his mind. For sure.
Sarvas was quick to admit that he believes he is still healthy after the foul, but he told reporters that he had not ever been a part of such a challenge in his career.
"[There's ] not many [fouls] like that in soccer," said Sarvas. It's more boxing."
Moor offered his own explanation for the play by saying that he was "disappointed" in himself for the foul.
Video of the play is below...
CARSON, Calif. – Jack McBean and Jose Villarreal were pleased with their performance in the LA Galaxy's 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids. The only thing that was missing, however, was missing was a goal.
McBean and Villarreal were dynamic from the opening whistle as they resumed their Academy and Reserve League partnership due to the absence of captain Robbie Keane. Villarreal set the tone early with a header in the third minute that was saved by Clint Irwin as the pair continued to rack up scoring opportunities until McBean saw a shot saved by Irwin in the 86th minute.
In the end, the pair accounted for seven shots on goal –four for McBean and three for Villarreal— only three fewer than LA's total on the night. Although Mike Magee scored the lone goal on a penalty kick, McBean felt confident about his showing in just his fifth MLS appearance.
"We talked to each other before the game, we knew that we were going to make mistakes; it's just how you rebound from them," said McBean. "I thought we both worked for each other and kept positive attitudes, it was fun."
Following the match, the teenagers' teammates were plenty complimentary of their performance.
"We were actually kind of excited to see what those two would do together and obviously, they were good tonight," said Magee.
"They were all over the field; they had a great game and were unlucky not to score," added defender Todd Dunivant. "Maybe the forward duo that I've ever played with, but they were great."
What may have made them great, according to Villarreal was their age. The pair have had plenty of success in Academy, Reserve League and CONCACAF Champions League matches in the past and were eager to make that success translate to the league level.
"We just went at the defenders. We didn't care if they were veterans in the league or not," said Villarreal. "It's a matter of us implementing our style of play and our aggressiveness."
Dunivant was quick to agree that their brashness will only help them going forward.
"They were fearless. That's probably what makes them as good as they are because they don't even know what they're doing, which is a good thing," said Dunivant. "There is brashness there and it works for them. Jose is taking shots and he's aggressive and Jack is holding up the ball there for us and that stuff is going to add up. Those guys are going to be big for us."
The LA Galaxy returned to their winning ways on Saturday with a 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids.
My Three Points to the match are below...
CARSON, Calif. – Bruce Arena offered his thoughts following the LA Galaxy's 1-0 victory over the Colorado Rapids.
Arena's press conference transcript is below…
(On the performance of Jack McBean and Jose Villarreal…)
ARENA: "I think they did well tonight. Each could have had a goal perhaps, but I think Colorado's goalkeeper played well; to his credit. If we're at fault for anything tonight, certainly keeping them around for ninety minutes was a flaw in our performance. I think we had chances to get the second and third goal. Give them credit, they never quit. Their goalkeeper played extremely well. At the end of the game, at least we were solid enough this week to make sure we got the three points. "
(On struggling to get chances after the red card…)
ARENA: "I don't think that's accurate. We had some chances to score goals."
(On the importance of the red card…)
ARENA: "It was important. It brought them down to ten players and there was penalty kick so it was a huge play in the game."
(On the defensive performance…)
ARENA: "Good performance. They've been good all year. We've conceded two goals in five competitive matches now. For the most part we've been pretty good."
(On Leonardo's performance…)
ARENA: "[He is] playing very well. [After his] Comeback, if you want to call it that, from some serious injuries over the last couple years has been remarkable. It looks to me that he's jumping very well, as you can see tonight the number of headers he won, and he's getting his speed back. We're real pleased with Leo and throughout the year we're going to need to have a lot of depth in our back line and certainly he's only made it stronger by the way he's been able to come back."
(On whether Landon Donovan and Robbie Keane's return offers the Galaxy a buffer in tight games…)
ARENA: "There's no guarantees. Robbie played last week too, you know, and the result wasn't the same. It'll be great to get Robbie back, I don't know if he's going to be ready to play against Toronto after this international spell. We'll have to see how he is when we get to D.C. And Landon's going to take some time. That's all part of it. It's good that these young players are at a point that we can count on them as well."

US Mint testing new metals to make coins cheaper
Thursday - 12/20/2012, 9:46am EST
By JOANN LOVIGLIO
Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - When it comes to making coins, the Mint isn't getting its two cents worth. In some cases, it doesn't even get half of that.
A penny costs more than two cents and a nickel costs more than 11 cents to make and distribute. The quandary is how to make coins more cheaply without sparing our change's quality and durability, or altering its size and appearance.
A 400-page report presented last week to Congress outlines nearly two years of trials conducted at the Mint in Philadelphia, where a variety of metal recipes were put through their paces in the massive facility's high-speed coin-making machinery.
Evaluations of 29 different alloys concluded that none met the ideal list of attributes. The Treasury Department concluded that additional study was needed before it could endorse any changes.
"We want to let the data take us where it takes us," Dick Peterson, the Mint's acting director, said Wednesday. More test runs with different alloys are likely in the coming year, he said.
The government has been looking for ways to shave the millions it spends every year to make bills and coins. Congressional auditors recently suggested doing away with dollar bills entirely and replacing them with dollar coins, which they concluded could save taxpayers some $4.4 billion over three decades. Canada is dropping its penny as part of an austerity budget.
To test possible new metal combinations, the U.S. Mint struck penny-, nickel- and quarter-sized coins with "nonsense dies" _ images that don't exist on legal tender (a bonneted Martha Washington is a favorite subject) but are similar in depth and design to real currency.
Test stampings were examined for color, finish, resistance to wear and corrosion, hardness and magnetic properties. That last item might be the trickiest, as coin-operated equipment such as vending machines and parking meters detect counterfeits not just by size and weight but by each coin's specific magnetic signature.
Except for pennies, all current U.S. circulating coins have the electromagnetic properties of copper, the report said.
A slight reduction in the nickel content of our quarters, dimes and nickels would bring some cost savings while keeping the magnetic characteristics the same. Making more substantial changes, like switching to steel or other alloys with different magnetic properties, could mean big savings to the government but at a big cost to coin-op businesses, Peterson said.
The vending industry estimates it would cost between $700 million and $3.5 billion to recalibrate machines to recognize coins with an additional magnetic signature. The Mint's researchers reached a lower but still pricey estimate of $380 million to $630 million.
Another challenge for the Mint is the rising cost of copper (used in all U.S. coins) and nickel (used in all except pennies).
Only four of the 80 metals on the periodic table _ aluminum, iron (used to make steel), zinc and lead _ cost less than copper and nickel, the report stated. Lead isn't an option because of its potential health hazards.
"Pricing of steel, aluminum and zinc are pretty close to each other ... there are promising alternatives for the nickel, dime and quarter," Peterson said. "There wouldn't be any advantage to shift the composition of the penny, so we offset that cost with (savings from) other denominations."
Pennies may not be cost-efficient, but they won't be getting pinched as long as they're in demand.
"We produce 6 billion pennies a year," Peterson said. "Our customers want them."
Concurrent Technologies Corp., a Pennsylvania-based scientific research and development company, is working with the Mint on the alternative materials study under a $1.5 million contract awarded in 2011.
The Philadelphia mint, established in 1792, is the country's oldest and largest. Circulating coins are made there and in Denver.

Full disclosure: I am an atheist who was raised as a Mormon. I don't believe in God because a serious commitment to reason precludes the acceptance of propositions on insufficient evidence, or faith. The believer must accept exactly two such propositions. They are as follows: 1) there is an all powerful being that created the universe and has an interest in how people behave, and 2) there is a particular scripture and/or prophet through which we can be informed of the opinions and wishes of said creator. Those who subscribe to only the first proposition are deists. Those who subscribe to the second as well are theists and usually members of a religion. The choice of scripture and prophet will depend on the tradition with which a believer associates.
We can understand why Evangelical Christians have such animosity towards Mormons. They disagree on the choices made in the second proposition and (as is so often the case between religions) the incompatibility of these choices leads to irresolvable conflict. This conflict has been amplified by Mitt Romney's recent selection as a major party candidate for President. This argument should be meaningless to atheists since they never even got to the first proposition. Secularists should be adverse to either group's claims with identical zeal and for identical reasons. But this has not been happening. They have lately been joining with Christians in an intellectually bankrupt attack on the Mormons.
Men whose intellects I admire have been debasing themselves in their rush to join the chorus of anti-Mormon sentiment in our public discourse. My eyebrow was first raised while I was watching a recent episode of Real Time with Bill Maher. Maher, a noted atheist, said of the Mormon Church "It does take crazy to a whole new level. I mean, all religions are magic tricks, Mormonism is just a particularly bad, novelty shop level, intelligence insulting magic trick. This religion is so ridiculous Tom Cruise would not join it and Glenn Beck did." Now, this is funny, and Maher is a politically oriented comedian, so I dismissed the comment. However I couldn't shake my perception that the delivery of this line was such that Maher believed it to be one of his show's insightful moments. I just couldn't accept that an atheist would find anything particularly offensive about LDS beliefs compared with, say, Catholic or Muslim beliefs.
But as is so often the case, once the mind is open to an idea it finds examples everywhere. Noted atheistic intellectual and evolutionary expert Richard Dawkins had this to say "The Mormon religion is so obviously fake, founded by a transparent charlatan in the nineteenth century, Joseph Smith. Nothing could be more obvious than that that man was a fake and a charlatan and a liar, and yet now we have a Presidential candidate who is prepared to say that he believes in this mountebank." Dawkins is right to be incredulous that only faithful men are acceptable candidates for President, but wrong in thinking this is made worse by the presence of a Mormon candidate.
In another conversation which Dawkins had with Astrophysicist and really smart guy Lawrence Krauss, Krauss added the following on the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith "We also read that the biblical stories are equally ridiculous, but the difference is we don't know they were written by known conmen, but in fact he was a known felon." Krauss misses the point, in that it doesn't matter the source of the beliefs people adopt on faith, only the content.
Finally, Sam Harris, perhaps the world's most articulate living anti-theist, said "Mormonism, it seems to me—objectively— is just a little bit more idiotic than Christianity is. It has to be: it is Christianity plus some very stupid ideas." He later added, "We can make common cause with our Christian brothers and sisters on this point." Contrary to Harris's assertion, the content of Mormon beliefs is not more idiotic than any other Christian faith. If one is going to accept the Bible as the word of God, there is absolutely no scientific ground left on which to mount a stand against the Book of Mormon.
Harris has written a book entitled the Moral Landscape in which he argued that we do not need religion to have a sense of morality. The crux of his argument is that morality amounts to the sum of the well being of conscious creatures and that there are knowable ways of moving upwards or downwards on that scale which constitute an objective 'playing field' for moral behavior. It seems to me, that that is the only arena from which secularists can attack one religion more than another and maintain intellectual honesty. Therefore, he can say (and has) that Muslims are worse than, say, Jainists since the former are more likely to engage in suicide bombing attacks, but he cannot say that Mormons are worse than Catholics since they believe in the story of Nephi in addition to the stories of Noah and Moses. Would he criticize a person who plays the lottery and picks the same number 5 times in a row by arguing that they are therefore less likely to win? In truth, their chances are identical and infinitesimally small in both cases.
Moreover, Mormons pass Harris's moral landscape test with flying colors. They live clean, drug free lives with an emphasis on family cohesion and usually in close knit communities that have perfected the art and the spirit of charity to a degree that puts all other Christians to shame. I don't mean to dote on the Mormons who leave themselves open to serious criticism from a secular perspective. They refuse to say that polygamy was always wrong, even when their founders practiced it; they were embarrassingly late to recognize the equality of all races; and they must still hang their heads in shame based on their dogma concerning women and homosexuals. However, these offenses are no more or less damning than those which can be charged to any religion.
No, Dr. Harris, we cannot make common cause with our Christian brothers and sisters on this point. They attack the Latter Day Saints because they believe that the Bible tells them that the Book of Mormon is evil. They enlist incredulity on the evidence supporting the Mormon faith with great hypocrisy, since they suspend that incredulity when they learn third hand that Jesus raised the dead and walked upon the water. We on the other hand must convict them equally on these points. We can make judgments only on objective criteria. The Mormons are worse than Christians who have learned to embrace women in the priesthood and homosexuals in matrimony, but they are better than those which teach that one imperils her eternal soul through the use of contraceptives.
Family cohesion, as long as the rest of the family is Mormon. Otherwise, forget it.

Justice: Progress in Fast and Furious negotiations
Tuesday - 1/29/2013, 1:42pm EST
By FREDERIC J. FROMMER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. Justice Department reports progress in settlement talks over a lawsuit by a House committee to get records involving the bungled gun-tracking program known as Operation Fast and Furious.
In a filing Tuesday, the department proposed postponing next week's court hearing because of the progress in talks with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. The department said committee lawyers agreed.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson rescheduled the hearing to April 24.
The Justice Department said that the parties in the case believe that "further talks may be fruitful."
Next week's hearing was on the Justice Department's motion to dismiss the lawsuit. Fast and Furious was a Phoenix-based operation designed to track purchases by suspected low-level buyers on behalf of gun-smuggling kingpins, but agents lost track of about 1,400 guns.

Mali is a landlocked nation in Western Africa, bordered by Algeria on the north, Niger on the east, Burkina Faso and the Côte d'Ivoire on the south, Guinea on the south-west, and Senegal and Mauritania on the west. Mali's northern borders reach deep into the middle of the Sahara, while the country's southern region, where the majority of inhabitants live, feature the Niger and Senegal rivers. Present-day Mali was once part of three West African empires that controlled trans-Saharan trade: the Ghana Empire, the Mali Empire (from which Mali is named), and the Songhai Empire. In the late 1800s, Mali fell under French control, becoming part of French Sudan. Mali gained independence in 1959 with Senegal, as the Mali Federation in 1959. A year later, the Mali Federation became the independent nation of Mali in 1960. After a long period of one-party rule, a 1991 coup led to the writing of a new constitution and the establishment of Mali as a democratic, multi-party state.

We currently offer three different Taekwon-do programs at our dojang based on age and ability. Please check out our programs for more details and contact us to take advantage of our Introductory Special, which includes a uniform and two lessons with a certified black belt instructor.
Taekwon-do has many benefits for both children and adults including improved fitness, flexibility, focus and confidence. Read more about the benefits of Taekwon-do.
The earliest form of martial arts practiced in Korea was traced back to 2000 years ago. Although Taekwon-do is a combination of many styles of Martial Arts, the core techniques and philosophies are based on Taek Kyon, the ancient martial art of Korea. Modern day Taekwon-do was also largely influenced by the Japanese martial art of Shotokan Karate.
TaeKwon-Do is a way of life and is a universal art of self defense that is practiced by thousands of martial artists around the world today. "Tae" stands for jumping or flying or to kick or smash with the foot. "Kwon" means the fist – to punch or destroy with the hand or fist. "Do" means an art or way. So as it is literally translated, Taekwon-Do means "the art or way of the hand and foot".
General Choi was born in 1918 during the Japanese rule of Korea. During his youth, he was sent to study calligraphy under Han Il Dong, a master of Taek Kyon, where he also learned this ancient Korean art of foot fighting. General Choi then travelled to Japan later on to study English, mathematics and karate under Kim and Funakoshi Gichin, where he learned Shotokan Karate and attained the rank of 2nd dan.
On April 11, 1955, General Choi officially named this martial art, calling it TaeKwon-Do. He combined elements of Taek Kyon (an ancient Korean martial art) and Shotokan Karate. Choi was credited with starting the spread of TaeKwon-Do internationally by stationing Korean TaeKwon-Do instructors around the world to promote and teach it. The ITF (International TaeKwon-Do Federation) was officially formed on March 22, 1966.
The other major style of TaeKwon-Do practiced today is WTF style (World Tae Kwon Do Federation), which the South Korean government formed in 1973 during General Choi's exile to Canada. WTF Tae Kwon Do comes from the Kukkiwon, the source of the sparring system sihap gyeorugi and is now a major event at the summer Olympic Games and the official national sport of South Korea.
Tanny Academy of Martial Arts teaches traditional ITF Taekwon-do. Our dojang is an official member school of Colorado International Taekwon-do (CIT), American Taekwon-do Federation International (ATFI) and the International Taekwon-do Federation (ITF) which means we teach the official curriculum of General Choi Hong Hi. Black Belts earned through our dojang are recognized internationally by approximately 140 countries throughout the world.
We have 3 different Taekwon-do programs based on age and ability:

I recently connected my Nokia 5800 to my bluetooth connection on my Windows 7 Ultimate pc of which downloads and installs the drivers from Windows Update
This works fine for the most part but i am left with 3x Bluetooth Peripher Device enteries showing in Device Manager and a Yellow Exclimation Mark located next to the Nokia 5800 device icon in Device and Printers but i cannot seem to find out what drivers are missing, even Windows Update find nothing for these enteries.
I have the latest version of Ovi Suite installed on my computer but this does not install any bluetooth drivers, I have the latest drivers for my Trust 16008 Bluetooth dongle but these 3x Bluetooth Peripheral Device enteries only appear when i connect the Nokia 5800 to bluetooth. I have also tried to locate the drivers from the support CD but this fails also.
I have tried looking on Nokia Discussions for a solution but it seems i am not the only person that is having the problem with these enteries in Device Manager and no drivers for them.
It seems that Nokia has not released the relevent drivers therefor full Bluetooth Driver installation is incomplete.
I would like Nokia to fully rectify the situation and explain why these drivers are missing and if they will be released.
The device ID's are

I had the same issue.
What I think fixed it was plugging in my mobile (6300) via USB. It then installed all sorts of modem devices etc.
After that I plugged in my BT adapter into a different USB port and magically it all installed correctly! Don't ask me why though ...
(forgot to mention that I think I may have tried an "Update driver" on the driver afterwards)
04-02-2010 15:02
I think I have the same problem.
Bluetooth worked for somee time with windows 7 than it has stopped.
Uninstalled the device and tried to reinstall it again.
The problem is that Bluetooth Perfierial Device drivers are not found, therefor not installed.
So bluetooth connection does not work.
Any tips to fix this? Or just sit and wait until Microsoft releases the drivers?
04-02-2010 16:38
Same problems occured on 1 of my vista platform. The problems might be caused by windows installed drivers before pcsuite had. One could transfer files, forward audio to nokia phones without pcsuite being installed, provided windows already had supported bluetooth drivers.
Hope this help:
If pcsuite had been installed and can communicate with the phone via bluetooth without problems. But the 3 "bluetooth peripheral device" drivers appeared in the windows' device manager page. Please try this (this MIGHT work):
(1) exit all pcsuite, sync (make sure it's NOT just minimized in windows' system tray)
(2) open control panel - bluetooth devices, if something like "your model of nokia phone" found, select it & delete it. The 3 not found drivers will be removed (as was deleted by previous step)
(3) open pcsuite, go to Settings - Manage Connections - highlight your Bluetooth connection, Select "configure"... follow pcsuite's instructions... paired up your phone again after a few clicks and key presses "Yes" on the phone to allow connections from PC to phone...
The 3 drivers should be reinstall properly: nokia ???? bluetooth modem, nokia portable device, (may be) serial port (com ??) over bluetooth link
04-02-2010 16:53
The above worked for me as well using windows 7 and Nokia OVI Suite (new version of PC Suite) although I didn't even have to do any reconfig in step 3, just run the app
04-02-2010 21:48
Yeah, now it works. Thanks a lot mate.
As it was said before, the method you described works just fine with OVI Suit as well.
What I did was
1. delete the Nokia 5800 device from the Control Panel
2. then deleted it from OVI as well
Then simply added the device again from OVI Suit. It's important to add it from OVI and not from Windows, as it somehow cannot get the device driver that way.
Thanks again.

i have a n73 music edition and wanted to use it with my windows 7 pc.
Faced the same problem as mentioned here.
But your solution worked like a charm.
Just did the following:
1) removed my nokia from bluetooth devices list.
2) opened ovi suite and clicked "add new device"
3) selected "bluetooth" for connection type.
4) just followed on with the instructions.
now everything is working just fine.
Thanks a lot qubuqu
22-09-2010 8:15
Greattttttttt job. Thanks for the info. Its working now
12-11-2010 7:40
It's so embarresingly obvious.
I work with technology and I would have been messing with this for ages (uninstall/reinstall etc.)
Nokia software is not smart enough to replace the windows drvers if the phone is already connected in windows BT control panel.
Even worse, if this info is in the Nokia support/install instructions I can't find it or even a reference to it anywhere???
A typical non-technical user would be driven mad by this if they didn't stumble upon it first time.
Take a bow and carry on...

LaValle Back In The Game
Today, walking into Suffolk County Republican Committee headquarters in Bohemia will give the visitor no sense of the strength that the party once had. In fact, it might put the person in mind of a small grassroots group, possibly even a lesser-known third party. The space does not suggest the seat of the former juggernaut. Its doors are thin and cheap. A broken copy machine sits near the front window. One staffer mans the phones, which are ringing now but presumably were not in the past couple of years when Harry Withers ran the party. The computers look old and beyond out-of-date. Atari has nothing on these machines, which hold the files behind the Suffolk County Republican party. The conference room is small and cramped and holds no real history. At least not yet.
The only thing that feels fresh and energized is newly elected Chairman John Jay LaValle. He really isn't new to politics of course, having held both a seat on the Brookhaven Town Council from 1996 to 2000, when he became the youngest town supervisor in Brookhaven history. He was a bold young politico, rankling some of the old guard while carving out his own legacy. He took a break from the game in 2005. He got out unscathed, unlike many of his colleagues. Now he's back, and he says it is going to be different.

- You might want to work from home tomorrow. The Office of Personnel Management says District roads will be clogged with people and security surrounding the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington. OPM is urging agencies to let eligible employees telework or adjust their schedules. It says feds who come into the city should allow extra time for travel. Metro recorded more than 450,000 trips Saturday, when the National Mall hosted a commemorative march. That's 1.5 times the normal ridership for Saturdays in August. Many more people are expected tomorrow. (Federal News Radio)
- Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has told Congress the government will run out of money sometime in mid-October. That is, unless lawmakers vote to raise the nation's borrowing limit, which now stands at $16.7 trillion. Lew's letter went to House Speaker John Boehner. It says the Treasury is running out of accounting gimmicks. The letter says the government will be down to $50 billion in cash, not enough to cover Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. (Associated Press)
- One contractor has withdrawn its protest over a planned new government-wide acquisition contract. The General Services Administration says it reached an amicable agreement with U.S. Falcon. The company had lodged a protest with the Government Accountability Office just after GSA released the request for quotes for its OASIS services deal. GSA did not describe the agreement. GSA still faces an agency-level protest filed by Aljucar-Anvil-Incus. Bids for a spot on OASIS are due Sept. 17. (Federal News Radio)
- The Air Force is doubling the vendors on a $7 billion computer contract following protests. Reuters reports, the service has added eight companies to Network-Centric Solutions-2, or NETCENTS-2. Some companies had filed protests with the Government Accountability Office after losing places on the initial contract. The six-year NETCENTS-2 is for buying commercially-available computer equipment like services and networking gear. (Reuters)
- Two federal agencies are at loggerheads over how to deal with a California refinery fire. It sent 15,000 people to the hospital. The Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board has gone to court to stop the EPA's criminal proceedings against Chevron. The board has conducted more than 100 interviews to try and get at the root cause of the accident. The EPA is seeking to punish the company. Rafael Moure-Eraso is chairman of the investigation board. He says subpoenas coming from the Justice Department on behalf of EPA make people clam up. He says that makes it harder to get to the bottom of the California fire, which occurred a year ago. (Associated Press)
- The Interior Department is restoring $110 million in mineral payments to states. Officials reversed course after studying the law dictating mineral leasing payments. Interior officials previously defended the cuts by saying they had no choice in the matter under budget rules now in place. The agency had held back payments to more than two dozen states that are home to oil, gas and coal extraction on federal lands. Western lawmakers and governors had pressed the White House to restore the money. It comes primarily from payments by oil and gas companies and royalties. (Associated Press)
- Army Staff Sgt. Ty Carter has become the fifth post 9/11 veteran to receive the Medal of Honor. President Barack Obama called Carter "the essence of true heroism" during the medal ceremony. Carter risked his life to save an injured soldier, resupply ammunition to his comrades and give first aid during a firefight in Afghanistan in 2009. Eight soldiers died in that attack on Command Outpost Keating. Carter suffers from post-traumatic stress. He says he wants to help the public better understand the "invisible wounds" of war. (Associated Press)
- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is finding his tour of Asia profitable. For at least three Defense contractors anyhow. The Pentagon has agreed to sell Indonesia eight new Apache attack helicopters and Longbow radars. The deal is worth $500 million. The helicopters are made by Boeing. The radars by Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. Boeing has been supplying Apaches to the Army for 30 years. U.S. military personnel will train the Indonesians on how to use the choppers for counter-piracy and maritime awareness.

Wisla Can-Pack pulled away down the stretch to claim a comfortable 66-52 win over ZVVZ USK Prague in Game 1 of their EuroLeague Women Round 2 series.
The hosts finished on a 7-2 spurt as Prague turned to three-pointers in an attempt to close the gap and came up empty, missing five in a row.
Erin Phillips and Milka Bjelica had 15 points each for Wisla, while Ewelina Kobryn and Nicole Powell were just behind with 14 points, Kobryn adding 13 rebounds and Powell 10.
Wisla broke the game open early when a 15-2 run turned a 9-8 deficit into a 23-11 lead at the end of the first quarter as Powell sank a jump-shot.
The visitors tried to rally before half-time, scoring the last six points of the second quarter, all from the free-throw line, to make it 34-29 at the break before Frida Eldebrink's jump-shot cut the gap to three at the start of the third quarter.
But Paulina Pawlak responded with a three-pointer as Wisla began to pull clear again.
Eva Viteckova's jump-shot had the visitors within seven, 51-44, with 7:22 to go but Phillips and Kobryn both sank two free throws each before Kobryn's jump-shot extended the lead to 13.
Lindsey Whalen's jump-shot briefly had it back in single figures, 59-50, late in the game but it was Wisla who finished the strongest to take the win.
Whalen finished with 19 points for Prague.

USK Prague Head Coach Lubos Blazek"It was a hard game and for long time the result was open. In the last quarter Wisla played harder defence and much better in the paint so that decided the final score. We will do our best to win in Prague and come back to Krakow for the third game. Congratulations to the home team."
Wisla Can-Pack Head Coach Jose Hernandez"We made the first step but there is the second one to be done. We want to do it in Prague. Both teams were very well prepared for the game with the good scouting - no secrets. The defence was better but I am also happy of the offense of my team. To win that game was for us very, very important but we must keep focussed. In Prague it is going to be maybe much harder."
USK Prague player Katerina Elhotova"Like the coach said, it was a tough game. Both Teams played very good defence. Without Milton Jones and Burgova we had a lot of problems to stop Wisla. We want to come back to Krakow, I hope we will play a better game at home in Prague."
Wisla Can-Pack player Anke De Mondt"We are very happy and hope to win in Prague if not in Krakow on 1 March. Very tough game for both teams, thanks to our fans for the excellent atmosphere."

The newest member of Jacksonville's soccer team helped the Cardinals defeat their biggest rival Thursday night.
Abimelech Taye scored the game-winning goal with 27:30 left as Jacksonville rallied for a 2-1 victory at White Oak in a Coastal 3-A Conference match.
Taye, a junior midfielder, is a foreign exchange student from Ethiopia. He didn't join the team until the Cardinals had played two games this season.
But on this night Taye emerged as a difference for the defending state 3-A champion Cardinals (8-1-1, 4-0), who remained unbeaten against the Vikings (7-4, 2-2) in the last 17 games in this series, dating back to 2005.
"They (teammates) said it was a big game, but I didn't expect it like this," Taye said. "What they told me and what I expected was different. It was a very good game."
The game was tied 1-1 when Taye found the net.
Jacksonville's Ryan Johnson delivered a free kick from just outside the right corner of the 18-yard box. The ball sailed over the middle to Taye, who trapped the ball near the left side and shot it through a defender's legs and into the goal.
"I was very surprised," Taye said about his goal.
And the Cardinals were certainly thrilled they got a go-ahead goal from an unlikely hero, although Jacksonville coach Dave Miller wasn't surprised Taye scored a big goal.
"He missed the first two weeks and we have just been trying to get him acclimated to the kids," Miller said. "The first game we got him in, he wasn't on the field for more than two minutes and he scored a goal."
Taye's goal proved the difference in what was a physical and fast-paced game between the two bitter rivals. Both teams were issued three yellow cards, and Jacksonville's Warren Washington was given a red card about a minute after Taye's goal.
The red card put the Cardinals down a man for the remainder of the match. White Oak managed just one shot during the final 26 minutes, that coming when Ken Lyons got his foot on the ball as it was approaching goalkeeper Joe Davis, who had left the box.
"We just had to make sure we sit back and get behind the ball and limit their opportunities and I thought the boys did a good job with that," Miller said. "Yeah, it was a battle. We should have put on football pads and played.
"That's the only way they can play with us. They tried to take us out of our game physically. We were able to maintain our composure for the most part and we got it done."
While disappointed with the loss, White Oak coach Buddy Carroll liked his team's effort. Goalie Rene Perez made five saves for the Vikings.
"I just told them that I'm proud of the effort that they gave," he said. "We made two mistakes and gave up some unfortunate goals. All in all, we had good possession and we played well. In a 2-1 loss, I can't be upset for the effort they gave.
"My hats off to them (Cardinals) because they stepped it up a little bit when Warren went out and continued to battle."
The Vikings seemed in position for an upset as they led 1-0 in the first half off a goal by junior Kevin Gonzalez. However, junior CJay Sparks gave the Cardinals new life when he scored with four seconds left in the first half to make it 1-1.
Sparks scored after he played a crossing pass from Tyler Moore, turned around toward the goal and shot from near the right post.
"We won the ball off something in the midfield and Tyler got the ball down the (right) sideline and crossed it," Sparks said. "He crossed it, I touched it, spun and hit it and it went in."
Miller called Sparks' goal "huge."
"It was a huge momentum shift for us going into the second half," Miller said. "Instead of being down 1-0, it's 1-1. I thought we had the better opportunities and the better run of play in the second half."
Miller felt like his team had the better play in the first half, too. Still, it was the Vikings who struck first when Gonzalez scored with 14:57 left. After a shot by Gabe Krueger hit off the crossbar, Gonzalez played the ball off the rebound and shot from the right side.
"We didn't change anything after the goal. We really tried to stay with what we were doing and continue to battle," Carroll said. "I'm not going to play them like some other teams who sit back and defend. We are going to go for it and may the best man win."
But in the end it was the Cardinals who still found a way to win. Jacksonville is ranked third in the latest N.C. Soccer Coaches Association 3-A poll and is tied with Swansboro for first place in the Coastal Conference.
"It's a good rivalry," Sparks said. "Every game we come in and try to give it our best. Sometimes all the (fundamentals) don't matter that much because everyone gets after it so hard."
Jacksonville 1 1 — 2
White Oak 1 0 — 1
GOALS—J: Sparks, Taye. W: Gonzalez. ASSISTS—J: Moore. W: Krueger. IN GOAL—J: Davis (2 saves). W: Perez (5 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—J 7, W 4. CORNER KICKS—J 3, W 2. RECORDS—J: 8-1-1, 4-0, at Laney on Monday. W: 7-4, 2-2, at Havelock on Tuesday.

There's no sense waxing nonpartisan as a feminist. The line is clear, it has been drawn by both sides, and women—the electorate majority today and for many, many years to come—have spoken: We demand equal rights and respect. When faced with sexism, racism, homophobia, xenophobia and misogyny: We shut that whole thing down! Major wins from election night 2012:
President Barack Obama re-elected for a second term. We mean, phew! Healthcare, equal rights, immigrant rights, preservation of critical social programs, the future of education, humane diplomacy… the issues go on and on and on and we have a chance at seeing the change that takes more than one term to affect. No pressure, Mr. President, but let's go on and get to all of that.
Elizabeth Warren. The rockstar economist/feminist/consumer advocate/badass beats out incumbent Scott Brown for a senate seat in Massachusetts. We think Ted Kennedy is smiling in the Kennedy compound from beyond. People are already rallying for a Warren presidential run in 2016.
Tammy Baldwin. The new senator from Wisconsin becomes the nation's first openly gay member of Congress. She's also the first female senator from the state.
Claire McCaskill. Speaking of shutting it down, Missouri voters rejected Todd Akin, he of the famous "legitimate rape" comment, and re-elected this progressive democrat to a second term.
Gay rights. Maryland, Maine and Washington legalize gay marriage. Dear, The Rest of The Country: Get. it. together!
Marijuana. It's not about getting high, people. It's about making our criminal justice system a bit more justified, and allowing terminal patients access to a proven method of relief. Colorado, Washington and Massachusetts decriminalize marijuana in varying degrees. Now, let's fix those mandatory minimums on crack and cocaine, shall we?
Democracy! Young people turned out in record numbers. African-Americans stood in line to let their voices be heard. Hispanics made sure their 17% of the nation spoke up. Patriotism has gone viral and it's a beautiful thing.

Entertainment News Pop: Channing Tatum Puts His Handsome Hands on Belly of Expectant Mom
He's a new dad, so we can't blame Channing Tatum for still having an affinity toward baby bumps. The 33-year-old actor seemed to prove just that when he happily placed his hands on the belly of a pregnant lady following an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live in Hollywood. It's over for Kat Von D and DJ Deadmau5. Six months after the Canadian DJ proposed to the celebrity tattoo artist online, the pair have called it quits, separately confirming the news online. Kristen Bell was spotted filming the highly-anticipated Veronica Mars movie, and she wasn't alone! She was holding hands with one of her many male suitors from the original series: Chris Lowell, aka Piz, Veronica's college boyfriend, who she was still dating when the series was canceled.

Get the Dish: Ice Cream "Drumsticks"
Who doesn't love an ice cream drumstick? From the creamy frozen ice cream, to the crunchy chocolate and peanut shell, right down to the very last chocolate-filled bite at the bottom of the cone (you know what I'm talking about), this is an all-time-favorite Summer treat. To make it homemade is even easier than you think! The best part is once you master the classic, the possibilities of flavors and combinations really are endless.  Inspired by Nestle Drumsticks "Drumstick" Ice Cream Cones Ingredients12 ounces semisweet chocolate 2 tablespoons canola oil 6 waffle cones 1 gallon vanilla ice cream 1 cup roasted peanuts, finely chopped Other toppings, optional Directions Melt chocolate in a double-boiler over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until smooth. Remove from heat and stir the oil into the chocolate. Drizzle about 2 teaspoons of melted chocolate into the bottom of each waffle cone, and place each cone in a short drinking glass or mason jar to hold upright. Transfer cones to the freezer for a couple of minutes to let the chocolate harden. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and allow it to soften into a scoopable consistency. Remove the cones from the freezer and fill each cone with ice cream, using an offset spatula to press it in and smooth out the ice cream. Add a big rounded scoop on top of the cone and smooth it out into a dome shape. Return the cone to the glass and place it back in the freezer. Allow cones to harden for at least an hour, or overnight. Return the chocolate to the double-boiler to soften. When ready, remove the cones from the freezer, and either using a silicone pastry brush or a spoon, drizzle the chocolate mixture over the ice cream and immediately sprinkle chopped peanuts on top. Continue until the ice cream and top of the cone are covered. Return the cone to the jar and freeze again until the chocolate has hardened, at least 15-20 minutes. Keep in the freezer until ready to serve. Information Category Desserts Yield 6 servings Cook Time 8 hours Average( votes): Print recipe

BATON ROUGE, La. -- Louisiana's financial woes are expected to once again shape much of the political debate at the state capitol in 2013.
This is the fourth year a row lawmakers are wrestling with major spending reductions.
Finding $1.2 billion in cuts in an already lean and mean $25 billion state budget won't be easy.
'Our revenue is dropping continually,' said Senate President John Alario, R-Westwego. 'It makes for a very struggling budget plan, so we're going to have a difficult time this year.'
'$1.2 billion is going to be on the backs of higher education and healthcare,' said state Sen. David Heitmeier, D-Algiers.
Gov. Bobby Jindal said revamping the state tax code will be his top priority during the upcoming legislative session.
Alario said part of the plan is to lower corporate taxes while eliminating certain business tax breaks.
'One good example is in solar energy,' said Alario. 'We are giving a 50 percent credit rebate for that effort. It started out with a fiscal note of less than a million dollars. It looks like that's going to run to $30 million and projections are to go to $120 million.'
Heitmeier said he expects a lively debate over a President Obama-backed plan to expand medicaid coverage to adults up to 133 percent of the poverty level.
Jindal opposes the plan, saying it could end up costing the state nearly $4 billion over 10 years.
'If we do not accept the Affordable Care Act, it will have significant challenges on how to pay for the uninsured,' said Heitmeier.
Jindal has this to say about the state's budget prospects in 2013: 'As always, our budget will be balanced, won't raise taxes, will protect higher education and healthcare funding, and help foster an environment where businesses want to invest and create jobs.'
He also says, 'As a result of federal Medicaid cuts, we will continue to transform the delivery of healthcare in Louisiana by pursuing public-private partnerships that strengthen graduate medical education and protect patient care.'
Other items expected to be debated this year, college tuition and fee increases and the state voucher program recently struck down as unconstitutional.

Alix1112 wrote:tidathep,
Taking refuge is basically "officially" becoming a Buddhist when one takes refuge in the Three Jewels. The Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Taking on the precepts is receiving the precepts of refraining from killing, stealing, lying, intoxicant use, and improper sexual practice. In Mahayana you can recieve one precept at first, two, three etc. Some people don't take the one of refraining from intoxicants due to having regular business/social engagements where drinking is "required", others perhaps might not take the precept of killing due to being in professions such as veterinary work, extermination, butchering, restaurant chef etc - at least these are the examples which I've seen or heard of locally. So it's very personal and totally up to you; it's just a promise to yourself that you will try your very best to uphold these precepts to their fullest in your life.
It's better (IMHO) to take it step by step - study Buddhism a little more if you are new to it, Take refuge after that if you wish to do so, then consider taking on precepts (it's your choice how many and how far you wish to take it). As far as entering monastic life...(I'm assuming that's what you mean by saying joining the Sangha) see how all goes first and take it one step at a time. Sorry if I'm not super informative!
yan kong wrote:tidathep, while I respect the Theravada's point of view on the subject it is not entirely the same in the Chinese Mahayana. I'm not sure how FGS views it but Master Sheng Yen did not feel it was just enough to follow the precepts. He felt that a formal ceremony was very important.
Also I don't think Bamboo was refering to the monastic community. The sangha of monks and nun is distinct from householders who have taken refuge and the five precepts.
T. Chokyi wrote:bamboo wrote:I have been thinking of joining a sangha or taking refuge. I'm curious what does it mean when you take refuge and receive the precepts. Any explanation on this is appreciated.
shaunc wrote:I'm with Tidathep on this one. If a man/woman follows the 5/8/10 precepts, would it not make him/her a better person & help them to find their way further along the spiritual path regardless of whether they'd gone through a formal ceremony or not. The 5 precepts especially are a very basic teaching in Buddhism & I don't feel as though we need a learned master to teach us how to understand them, following them 100% is not as easy admittedly.
